Cole strikes out 11, Judge hits 49th HR as Yankees beat A's OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Gerrit Cole struck out 11 on the way to his first win since July 17, Aaron Judge hit a three-run homer in the fifth for No. 49 on the season and the Yankees' 200th, and New York beat the Oakland Athletics 3-2 on Friday night. Cole (10-6) allowed one run on three hits over 7 1/3 innings to snap a six-start winless stretch in which he'd gone 0-4 since beating Boston last month. He reached double-digit wins for the eighth time in his career. Cole notched his seventh start of the season with 10 or more strikeouts. He has 1,335 strikeouts since 2017, the most in the majors during that span. Jonah Bride connected for his first career homer in the seventh against Cole. After Jonathan Loáisiga recorded the final two outs of the eighth, Wandy Peralta gave up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Dermis García but finished the 2-hour, 50-minute game for his third save. New York faced a former Yankee for the second straight game. Left-hander JP Sears (5-1) faced his former team for the first time since joining Oakland in the Frankie Montas-Lou Trivino trade at the deadline. Sears allowed the three runs on Judge's homer and eight hits over six innings with three strikeouts and four walks. Oakland's loss came one night after allowing 20 hits in a 13-4 defeat, the most allowed by the A's since Cleveland had 20 on July 1, 2018. New York Yankees' Aaron Judge, middle, celebrates with teammates after hitting a three-run home run against the Oakland Athletics during the fifth inning of a baseball game in Oakland, Calif., Friday, Aug. 26, 2022. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) Judge, supported in the stands by friends from his church in the Central Valley city of Stockton, walked in his other three plate appearances - once intentionally. He is three homers shy of matching his career-best mark of 52 set during his AL Rookie of the Year season in 2017. The Yankees have won all five matchups in the season series so far with Oakland, which has dropped four of its last five games overall. TRAINER'S ROOM Yankees: OF Harrison Bader, on the 60-day injured list with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, has begun swinging a bat and could begin his running progression this weekend. He won't be on the Yankees' West Coast swing that includes a series in Anaheim early next week but could meet the club in Tampa, Florida, next Friday and still rehab at their facility there. ... 1B DJ LeMahieu played again after a day off and will be closely monitored by the training staff the rest of the way as he deals with inflammation in his right big toe. Treatment has been helping. "It's going to be something that we pay attention to the rest of the year," manager Aaron Boone said. ... All-Star LHP Nestor Cortes continues to work on flat ground after he went on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a strained left groin. "The next big challenge will be getting off the mound," Boone said. Athletics: OF Skye Bolt went on the 10-day injured list with a right knee injury a day after being hit by a pitch from Yankees rookie Greg Weissert in a wild major league debut for the reliever. Bolt threw down his bat in frustration. He felt like his kneecap slid, according to athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. "We don't believe there is a lot of damage within the knee," Paparesta said. "We felt it would be best to give this an opportunity for it to heal properly, get his full function and mobility back with his strength instead of kind of trying to kind of play through this a little bit and injure other things and compensate for problems that may arise." ... RHP Brent Honeywell threw 45 pitches over two innings Thursday for Triple-A Las Vegas and his next step is expected to be pitching back-to-back days out of the bullpen next week. He was shut down during spring training in late March with a stress reaction in his pitching elbow. UP NEXT RHP Domingo Germán (2-2, 3.89 ERA) starts Saturday having allowed three or fewer runs in his last six outings, the second longest such streak of his career. The A's counter with RHP Adam Oller (2-6, 6.41) as he looks to bounce back from a loss to the Marlins.

Join the conversation in our exclusive Facebook group for high school sports fans in Union County. ELLISTOWN - The Dogs were turned loose against East Union as Kody Atkinson and Ke'Lan Simpson combined for six touchdowns on the ground in the 52-6 New Albany win on Friday. Atkinson had four scores while Simpson added two and Nehamiah Boyd added a fourth quarter score. Coach Cody Stubblefield went into Friday's game hoping that Atkinson and Simpson would be able to take some of the pressure off his freshman quarterback, Braden Shettles and the duo more than delivered for their team. "I think we controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball," New Albany coach Cody Stubblefield said. "Our O-line played well, we ran it inside and we had a lot of success, Kody Atkinson and Ke'Lan Simpson did a tremendous job running the football. They ran the ball extremely well. "Our defense played really well, Coach (Trent) Hammond had those guy ready to play." Whit Robbins scored the first points of the season for the Bulldogs as he drilled a 42-yard field goal in the first quarter for the 3-0 lead. Simpson scored from five yards out and Atkinson scampered in from 10 yards out for the 17-0 first quarter lead. Montavio Sullivan gave the Bulldogs the ball back with his fumble recovery on the first play of the second quarter and Simpson ran it in on the next play from 10 yards out. Atkinson ran it in from the one to raise the lead to 31-0. Luke McVey scored the lone Urchin touchdown on his 3-yard run after Connor Timms recovered a Bulldog fumble at the New Albany 34. Boyd scored the last Bulldog touchdown in the final period. Extra Points Turning Point: New Albany hung up 17 points in the first quarter and the contest was never in doubt after that. Point Man: Atkinson scored four touchdowns on runs of 49, 41, 10, and 1 yard. Talking Point: "We have things that we have got to clean up, but we grew up a lot in the second half, we weren't ready for what we saw, but that's two weeks in a row that we've seen 4A teams." - East Union coach Brandon Cherry Notes • Atkinson had 10 carries for 133 yards. • Simpson had five carries for 52 yards. • Next week, New Albany hosts Itawamba AHS while East Union visits Heritage Academy.

Nadal 'super excited' for Federer return at Laver Cup By Sudipto Ganguly Aug 27 (Reuters) - Roger Federer has not played competitive tennis in more than a year and, like his legion of fans, Rafa Nadal also cannot wait for the Swiss great to return to action next month. Federer has not featured since Wimbledon last year after he had another operation on his knee, which has bothered the 41-year-old in the twilight of his sparkling career. The 20-time Grand Slam singles champion is expected to return to the tour in September when he teams up with long-time rival and friend Nadal to play doubles at the Laver Cup in London before playing at the Swiss indoors tournament at home in Basel the following month. "Of course, super excited to see Roger again on court," Nadal, the winner of a men's record 22 Grand Slam titles, told reporters on Friday ahead of the U.S. Open. "I hope he's healthy enough to make that happen. Yeah, let's see. Has been a long period of time without Roger on court, so I really hope that he can manage to be back. But let's see." Federer has undergone three knee operations in the last two years and has not played a competitive match since his quarter-final defeat to Hubert Hurkacz at the 2021 Wimbledon. But despite not playing for nearly 14 months the Swiss has retained his place at the top of the list of the world's highest paid tennis players for a 17th year, underlining his popularity in the sport. Federer's recent knee troubles have left pundits and fans wondering how much longer it will be before the father of four decides to hang up his tennis rackets. "The most important thing at this stage of his career is health and happiness, no?" Nadal said. "If he's healthy enough and happy enough to be back to the tennis tour, (it) will be amazing. If not, we just can say thanks to him for everything that he achieved. "I am confident that we will keep having Roger for a while. Yeah, I can't wait to share team with him in the Laver Cup."

A San Francisco Lyft driver was taken to the hospital after a suspect robbed and beat him, and then drove off with his car in broad daylight on Thursday in the city's SoMa neighborhood, officials said. The San Francisco Police Department said it received a report of an assault at 12:56 p.m. on Aug. 25 at Market and Fremont streets. The 30-year-old driver told police that the suspect stole both his phone and vehicle before speeding off, police said in a report on Friday. The San Francisco Police Department didn't say whether the suspect was a passenger in the Lyft, but it did say the incident occurred after the driver dropped off a client. Officers called an ambulance to the scene, and medics transported the victim to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries, police said. The police department's investigation bureau said on Twitter that police in Fairfield pursued the suspect, and he was later arrested after police in Solano County chased him on Interstate 80. The San Francisco's robbery unit responded to the scene and took over the investigation, booking the 39-year-old male suspect for carjacking, felony battery and a probation violation.

We will force Rahul Gandhi to become Congress chief, says Mallikarjun Kharge "You tell me the alternative. Who is there? (in the party other than Rahul Gandhi)", Mr. Kharge asked Rahul Gandhi would be pursued to return as Congress President as there is none in the party other than him who has a pan-India appeal, veteran leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge has said. The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said anyone aspiring to lead the Congress party should be known throughout the country and enjoy support from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and West Bengal to Gujarat. Also read | Ghulam Nabi Azad quits Congress saying Rahul Gandhi destroyed party’s consultative mechanism "He should be well-recognised, accepted man to the entire Congress party", Mr. Kharge told PTI here on Friday. "So, no body is there (in the party with such a stature). He recalled that all senior leaders had "forced" Sonia Gandhi to join and work for the party, and had requested Rahul Gandhi to "come and fight". "You tell me the alternative. Who is there? (in the party other than Rahul Gandhi)", Mr. Kharge asked. On reports that Rahul Gandhi is unwilling to take up the mantle, Mr. Kharge said he will be requested and asked to take charge "for the sake of the party, for the sake of the country, for fighting the RSS-BJP and to keep the country united". Mr. Kharge also referred to the party’s upcoming “ Bharat Jodo Yatra”, and said Rahul Gandhi is needed for “ Jodo Bharat”. "We will ask him, we will force him and request him (to return as Congress President). We stand behind him. We will try to pursue him", the former Union Minister said. The Congress Working Committee (CWC), the party's highest decision-making body, will hold a virtual meeting on Sunday to approve the schedule of dates for the election of the Congress president. Sonia Gandhi will preside over the CWC meeting. Several leaders have been publicly exhorting Rahul Gandhi to become party chief again. However, uncertainty and suspense continue on the issue. Several party insiders say Rahul Gandhi is persisting with his stance that he will not be AICC president. He resigned as Congress president after the party suffered its second consecutive defeat in Parliamentary elections in 2019. Sonia Gandhi, who took over the reins of the party again as interim president, had also offered to quit in August 2020 after an open revolt by a section of leaders, referred to as G-23, but the CWC had urged her to continue. - Comments will be moderated by The Hindu editorial team. - Comments that are abusive, personal, incendiary or irrelevant cannot be published. - Please write complete sentences.

Iowa parents offer reward to find fentanyl dealer after daughter overdoses (CNN) - An Iowa couple is hoping to get justice for their daughter following a lethal overdose. They are offering a $30,000 reward for information leading to the dealer who sold her the lethal drugs. Robert and Karletha Gilliam are mourning the loss of their only child, 22-year-old Ciara, who died on Aug. 23rd. “The preliminary investigation, it looked like an accidental overdose of fentanyl,” Robert Gilliam said. The couple went on Facebook and made their first offer at $10,000, then $20,000 to whomever can identify the dealer’s name, address, and phone number. “If we can save just one life or take one dealer off the streets or make an impact on someone’s life to stop what’s going on, then we are going to do that,” Robert Gilliam said. “Many other families are going to suffer if something’s not done,” Arletha Gilliam said. The couple admitted their daughter had substance abuse issues, but believes the reward is their effort to pay it forward. “This is our gift back to her, so the next family doesn’t have to go through this,” Robert Gilliam said. The couple said this is not about revenge, but about legal justice. “Families are tired of losing their kids. Families are tired of losing their mothers, fathers, uncles, cousins,” Arletha Gilliam said. For now, they hold on to each other and memories of their daughter. “She was my heart, my soul,” Robert Gilliam said. They urge everyone to talk with their children and let them know they are loved, because there is no guarantee there will be a tomorrow. “You don’t know that one day they are not going to be there. It doesn’t matter if they have drug addiction, what they’re into. They are still your child so take care of them,” Robert Gilliam said. The couple says any information they gather will be forwarded to the Des Moines Police Department. Copyright 2022 CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.

It’s been the stuff of rumors for years, but Audi on Friday finally confirmed its intention to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship starting from 2026. Audi won’t go it alone. Instead it will partner with an existing team whose identity will be revealed later this year. It is expected to be Sauber, which currently competes in F1 as Alfa Romeo. Audi will supply the power unit, development of which will be handled at Audi Sport’s facility in Neuburg an der Donau, Germany. Overseeing the development will be Adam Baker, who has served as an FIA safety director in recent years and previously worked with Cosworth when it produced F1 power units, as well as with Sauber when it competed in F1 with BMW. Baker will report to Rolf Michl, Audi Sport’s current chief operating officer of racing. Michl will take over the lead role at Audi Sport from current chief Julius Seebach on Sept. 1. Audi’s entry in F1, together with a likely entry by fellow Volkswagen Group brand Porsche, hinged on new power unit rules scheduled to be introduced in 2026 adopting a focus on sustainability and cost efficiency. Those rules were finalized earlier in August and will see F1 move to 100% sustainable fuel. Crucially for both automakers’ electric future, the new power unit rules call for an increase in electrical power to 469 hp from the 160 hp of today’s hybrid power unit. The new power unit will also use a turbo 1.6-liter V-6 in a hybrid configuration, the same internal-combustion engine format used today, but while peak output of the system will match the 1,000-plus-hp of today, overall fuel usage during a race should drop from about 220 lb to 154 lb. Porsche is yet to announce its F1 plans, but the automaker is rumored to be planning a partnership with Red Bull Racing as the team’s power unit supplier. The rumors also point to Porsche buying a 50% stake in the leading team. Audi also confirmed on Friday it is discontinuing its previous plan to return to top-level endurance racing in 2023 with an LMDh race car, in order to focus its resources on the F1 effort. While Audi hasn’t competed in F1 before, it does have a history of Grand Prix racing, having dominated on racetracks together with Mercedes-Benz during the 1930s, when it was known as Auto Union. Porsche does have a history in F1, having competed as a constructor in the 1950s and ’60s and then briefly as a power unit supplier in the 1980s and early ’90s.

A Missouri school district reinstated spanking if parents give their OK A school district in southwestern Missouri decided to bring back spanking as a form of discipline for students — if their parents agree — despite warnings from many public health experts that the practice is detrimental to students. Classes resumed Tuesday in the Cassville School District for the first time since the school board in June approved bringing corporal punishment back to the 1,900-student district about 60 miles (100 kilometers) southwest of Springfield. The district had dropped the practice in 2001. The policy states that corporal punishment will be used only when other forms of discipline, such as suspensions, have failed and then only with the superintendent's permission. Superintendent Merlyn Johnson told The Springfield News-Leader the decision came after an anonymous survey found that parents, students and school employees were concerned about student behavior and discipline. "We've had people actually thank us for it," he said. "Surprisingly, those on social media would probably be appalled to hear us say these things, but the majority of people that I've run into have been supportive." Parent Khristina Harkey told The Associated Press on Friday that she is on the fence about Cassville's policy. She and her husband did not opt-in because her 6-year-old son, Anakin Modine, is autistic and would hit back if he were spanked. But she said corporal punishment worked for her when she was a "troublemaker" during her school years in California. "There are all different types of kids," Harkey said. "Some people need a good butt-whipping. I was one of them." Morgan Craven, national director of policy, advocacy and community engagement with the Intercultural Development Research Association, a national educational equity nonprofit, called corporal punishment a "wildly inappropriate, ineffective practice." The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1977 that corporal punishment is constitutional and left it up to states to set their own policies. Craven said 19 states, many in the South, have laws allowing it in schools. The most current data from 2017-18 shows about 70,000 children in the U.S. were hit at least once in their schools. Students who are hit at school do not fare as well academically as their peers and suffer physical and psychological trauma, Craven said. In some cases, children are hurt so badly that they need medical attention. "If you have a situation where a kid goes to school and they could be slapped for, you know, some minor offense, it certainly creates a really hostile, unpredictable and violent environment," Craven said. "And that's not what we want for kids in schools." But Tess Walters, 54, the guardian of her 8-year-old granddaughter, had no qualms about signing the corporal punishment opt-in papers. She said the possibility of being spanked is a deterrent for her granddaughter, who has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. "I've read some some people's responses on Facebook recently, and they're just going over the top like, 'Oh, this is abuse, and, oh, you're just going to threaten them with, you know, violence.' And I'm like, 'What? The child is getting spanked once; it's not beatings.' People are just going crazy. They're just being ridiculous," Walters said. Mitch Prinstein, chief science officer with American Psychological Association, said decades of research shows corporal punishment will not reduce inappropriate behavior and is likely to increase aggression, rage, hostility and could lead to depression and self-esteem problems. Prinstein said better methods for eliminating undesirable conduct including problem-solving training; rewarding positive behavior, such as with extra recess; and providing extra attention in the classroom. "Parents are experts on what works for their own children," Prinstein said. "But it's important for parents to be educated on very substantial science literature demonstrating again that corporal punishment is not a consistently effective way of changing undesirable behavior." Sarah Font, an associate professor of sociology and public policy at Pennsylvania State University, coauthored a 2016 study on the subject. Her research found that districts using corporal punishment are generally in poor, Republican-leaning rural areas in Southern states. Font said Black children are disproportionately subjected to it. The disparity frustrates Ellen Reddy, of the Nollie Jenkins Family Center, which advocates on issues such as corporal punishment and special education. "Look at the history of violence against Black and brown bodies," said Reddy, who described herself as a Black mother of sons and a grandson. "Since we've been in this country, there's been violence perpetrated against our children, our families, our foreparents. So when do we stop that kind of violence?" Disabled students also are more likely to be subjected to corporal punishment, said Elizabeth Gershoff, a professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. She said that led four states — Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana — to ban using it for those students. She noted that overall, corporal punishment is on the decline, with the numbers dropping steadily since the federal government started tracking it in the late 1970s. "Most schools are realizing, 'You know what, we can discipline children, we can guide their behavior without hitting them,'" said Gershoff, who authored the 2016 study with Font. Cassville School District spokeswoman Mindi Artherton was out of the office Friday and a woman who answered the phone in her office suggested reading the policy. She said staff had already done interviews. "At this time, we will focus on educating our students," she added, before hanging up. The policy says a witness from the district, which is in a county that is around 93% white, must be present and that the discipline will not be used in front of other students. "When it becomes necessary to use corporal punishment, it shall be administered so that there can be no chance of bodily injury or harm," the policy says. "Striking a student on the head or face is not permitted." In Missouri, periodic efforts to ban corporal punishment in schools have failed to gain traction in the Legislature. The state does not track which districts allow spanking because those decisions are made at the local level, a spokeswoman for Missouri's K-12 education department said. U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, is pushing for a ban on the use of corporal punishment in schools that receive federal funding. He has called it a "barbaric practice" that allows teachers and administrators to physically abuse students.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pennsylvania man was sentenced Friday to 46 months in federal prison for attacking a police officer with a Donald Trump flag during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The newspaper reported that Howard Richardson, 72, of King of Prussia, told the court in Washington “there’s no excuse” for his behavior and pleaded for mercy. But U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly responded, “Your presence and actions in joining other insurrectionists was an inexcusable attack on our democracy.” Richardson’s sentence is one of the longest yet among those who have been prosecuted for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 to disrupt the certification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. In addition to the nearly four-year prison sentence, Richardson was ordered to serve three years under court supervision after his release and to pay $2,000 in restitution. Richardson never entered the Capitol, the Inquirer reported, but prosecutors said his attack on a Washington, D.C., police officer merited a lengthy prison term. According to the paper, police body camera footage showed Richardson bludgeoning an officer outside the Capitol with a metal flagpole. NBC News reported that Richardson also joined a mob using a giant Trump billboard as a battering ram. Approximately 850 people have been charged with federal crimes for their conduct on Jan. 6. Over 350 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors, and over 230 have been sentenced. Dozens of Capitol riot defendants who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor offenses have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment ranging from seven days to five months.

MT. MORRIS, Mich. (AP) — A blind Michigan judge went for a drive and a sheriff rode shotgun. As 100 people watched, Richard Bernstein of the Michigan Supreme Court drove a car on a dirt track Tuesday at the Genesee County fairgrounds, northwest of Flint. “I’ve always wanted that feeling of what it’s like to hit the gas or what it’s like to turn on the ignition and what it’s like to operate a steering wheel,” Bernstein, 47, told WNEM-TV. Sheriff Chris Swanson was in the passenger seat giving directions and encouragement. They wore helmets. “Straighten it out. Soft left, soft left,” Swanson said. “He’s doin’ it!” Bernstein, who is seeking reelection in November, doesn’t let blindness discourage him from certain goals. He’s run more than 20 marathons. “My whole life, I’ve loved making people’s dreams come true,” the sheriff said. “I love seeing joy on the face, and I have seen it the last two hours driving him up here.”

Gary Bowyer has apologised to the travelling Dundee fans after his Dark Blues side were beaten 3-1 on the road at Somerset Park. Ayr United came into the game top of the Championship table with in-form striker Dipo Akinyemi firing in the goals. And he made it six in just five games with a double either side of Jordan Houston’s second-half strike as the Dee wilted under the pressure in Ayrshire. Zak Rudden had opened the scoring after just four minutes, getting Bowyer’s men off to a flying start. But it didn’t last as Akinyemi bundled in for 1-1 after 17 minutes. The Dundee boss questioned the lack of whistle from the referee as the goal went in but he was more disappointed with the reaction from his side as the Honest Men took the points to go four points clear at the top. “We started very well, we scored a good goal,” Bowyer said. “Their equaliser came off the lad’s arm but that said it rocked us. “Ayr are top of the league for a reason and I think in the second half you saw that.” ‘Stuff we’ve talked about and worked on’ After a first half where they were second best, Bowyer sent on Zach Robinson to partner Rudden up front. And immediately the chances began to come for his side but both frontmen passed up opportunities before Ayr countered and took the lead through Houston’s 20-yard strike. “We’ve not made the right decision again, we’ve spoken about that before,” the Dundee boss added. Turn, boom! 💥 Dipo Akinyemi does it again 👏 Watch live ⤵️#BBCFootball — BBC Sport Scotland (@BBCSportScot) August 26, 2022 “We made a positive change in the second half with putting Zach Robinson up front. “But we are disappointed with the manner of the goals. “The two goals are great strikes but the manner in which they get to there is stuff that we’ve talked about and worked on. “It’s about what happens in the two boxes that really matters and we haven’t done enough in either tonight. “We need to apologise to those travelling supporters on a Friday night, that’s not good enough from us.”

West Ham are reportedly in talks to sign former Manchester United starlet Adnan Januzaj on a free transfer. The Belgian winger is currently without a club after being released by Real Sociedad at the end of last season and Hammers boss David Moyes, who worked with Januzaj at both United and Sunderland, is keen on a reunion. According to talkSPORT, West Ham have opened negotiations with Januzaj's representatives and are believed to be confident of sealing a deal, especially as they're under no time constraints due to the player's free agent status. READ MORE: West Ham's improved Lucas Paqueta bid could reach £48m with 'deal much closer' Moyes handed Januzaj his professional debut back in 2013 during his sorry sole season at Old Trafford. The youngster was a mainstay in United's struggling side, but saw his game time slashed after Moyes was relieved of his duties. The pair linked up again when Januzaj was loaned to Sunderland during the 2016/17 season, but by then his confidence was on the floor having spent the previous couple of years warming the United bench. All of that changed when he joined Real Sociedad the following season though. He went to make over 150 appearances for the La Liga side, scoring 23 goals and laying on 21 assists. How many games will Januzaj play for West Ham this season? Let us know in the comments section below. His club form saw him called up to the Belgian national team for the first time since his debut season at United and he was part of Roberto Martinez's side that reached the semi final of the 2018 World Cup, scoring the winning goal against England during the group stage. Elsewhere, West Ham are on the verge of sealing a £51million deal for Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta, with personal terms thought to have already been agreed, which will take their summer spending well over the £150million mark.

Nasa is set to launch its new Moon rocket on Monday, marking the next chapter in putting humans back on the Moon. The flight is the first in the agency’s Artemis programme and will be uncrewed this time. However, there will be astronauts on board for subsequent missions, with the first crewed flight into space scheduled for 2024. Nasa expects the first Artemis astronauts to land on the Moon in 2025. The Artemis 1 mission will see the first launch of the new 322ft tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which the agency says is the world’s most powerful rocket to date. It will take the Orion capsule, powered by the Airbus-built European Service Module (ESM), into the Moon’s orbit. Airbus engineer Sian Cleaver is industrial manager for the ESM, and as a child dreamt about being involved in human spaceflight before getting a master’s degree in physics and astronomy from Durham University. She told the PA news agency: “I’m ridiculously excited, and I think everybody on the team is. “There’s years and years of a labour of love into this project. “This is the first time that we will have seen one of our European service modules flying in space and going to the Moon. “I think a lot of us couldn’t quite believe it – we’ve now got the go for launch on the 29th. “Now, I think it’s really sinking in that this is reality, this is happening, and it’s going to really start this whole new chapter of space exploration, and going to the Moon. “We’re on the brink of something really exciting now.” Ms Cleaver explained that last time humans went to the Moon – some 50 years ago – it was about proving that it could be done whereas the new mission is about proving people can go there for longer and more sustainably. It will also assess whether some infrastructure can be built on and around the Moon, allowing humans to survive on another planetary body. Now in her 30s, Ms Cleaver first visited the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida – where the launch has been given a window from 1.33pm (BST) on Monday – when she was just eight years old. Her role in building the ESM involved making sure that all of the equipment and the subsystems came together at exactly the right time. Speaking of attending the launch, she said: “I am so excited to be there. “It is going to be, for me personally, a really special moment to be back there after so long. And now to actually work in the space industry, I still haven’t quite got my head around it really, that I’ve achieved something that I wanted to do since I was 15 or so.” She added: “It’s pretty amazing that even at this stage of my career – 10 years into Airbus – that I’m working on essentially my dream mission.” The mission duration is 42 days, 3 hours, 20 minutes, and in total it will travel 1.3 million miles, before splashing down on October 10. The UK is part of the Artemis programme, making contributions to the Lunar Gateway – a space station currently in development with the European Space Agency – working alongside the US, Europe, Canada and Japan. The Artemis mission will be tracked in the UK from Goonhilly Earth Station in Cornwall. Libby Jackson, exploration science manager at the UK Space Agency, said: “The first launch of the Artemis 1 SLS rocket is an important step for the global space community as we prepare to return humans to the Moon. “The Artemis programme marks the next chapter of human space exploration and we look forward to continued involvement as it comes to life.”

According to police officials, there was traffic congestion due to the incident on Friday but the movement of vehicles was normal on Saturday. "The road portion caved in near Sector 96 where work for an underpass was being carried out. It was on the carriageway while one moves from Noida towards Greater Noida. The repair work on it had started on Friday itself, leading to traffic congestion,” an official said. A traffic police official told PTI on Saturday morning, “The movement of vehicles was smooth along the stretch and there was no congestion on it.” Lakhs of vehicles pass through the 27-km-long Noida-Greater Noida Expressway on weekdays.

The Springfield NAACP is working with Clark County law enforcement following the dispersal of recruitment fliers from the Ku Klux Klan in the city. A man doing contract work on Aug. 15 in Layne addition near Burnett Road near Horace Mann Elementary School said he noticed fliers resting in a row of driveways. After further inspection, he realized they were small recruitment posters for the East Coast Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, slipped into plastic bags filled with rice, he said. The man said he walked along streets in the area to collect any fliers he saw resting in driveways, roughly 45 fliers in total. Representatives of the Springfield Police Division also stated that a call came in on the same day related to the dissemination of Ku Klux Klan fliers in a city neighborhood. Police stated that early in the morning, a resident in the 2300 block of Irwin Avenue reported finding a flyer at the bottom of their driveway. When officers arrived at the scene, they later found 12 other fliers in the area. The fliers in that incident and the packaging they were contained in matched the description given by the man doing contract work near Burnett Road. Sara Winkle, an area resident, said she and her children walked around the affected neighborhoods with a five-gallon bucket to collect any stray fliers, finding four, some across the way from Warder Park-Wayne Elementary School. The police division is currently looking into the situation and is asking those who may have more information regarding the dissemination of Klan fliers to contact the division. Though the recruitment fliers themselves and the passing out of those fliers are not illegal as those acts are protected under the first amendment, local law enforcement is still looking into the incident due to those recruiting materials being associated with a hate group that has a violent history. “We are not looking into it as a criminal act. We are looking at it for the sake of public safety and intelligence and knowing what is going on,” said Springfield Police Chief Lee Graf. Graf said that a few days before fliers were found in Springfield, similar ones were reported in the Worthington and Sharon Twp. areas near Columbus. Graf noted that similar incidents happen every year in Ohio in different places. Graf said that the police division is in contact with law enforcement in the Worthington and Sharon Township area. The Springfield Police Division has also reached out to the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force to see if those agencies had any further information regarding Klan activity or if there is anything local law enforcement should be alerted to. Graf said that those agencies did not have any further information and were not aware of any future plans by the Klan in the area. “I understand the public’s concern. But, I do not think that the public in Springfield should be afraid. I have no indications that this is any kind of indicator or tripwire for further activity,” said Graf, who noted that groups like the Klan look to stir up reactions from local communities and try to generate attention. Springfield NAACP president Denise Williams said the presence of the fliers causes fear for her loved ones and the community. “You know, we have to worry about homelessness, gun violence, the rise of food costs, gas costs,” she said. “And now, we have to worry about this.” The Springfield NAACP is meeting next week with area law enforcement agencies to discuss a plan moving forward, Williams said.

DEAR HELOISE: The suggestion about the wire brush was a good one. I use metal scrubbers on my pots, which also shed, so I wipe the pots with a dish cloth after cleaning, just in case. Not bagging fruits and vegetables does not take into account that the person handling them at the register also handles money, meat and chemicals that have been placed on the conveyor belt, and the bags keep the items together making for easier handling. I save my cleaned bags and reuse them. ID tags should only have your phone number on them, never an address, which can open you up to theft. I always look forward to reading your hints in some of the magazines and newspapers I have access to. -- Ann, Rolla, Mo. DEAR HELOISE: Regarding closet clothes that have been worn once, and want to be worn again, before laundering, I just face the hanger the opposite way that the clean clothes hangers are facing. Works for me. -- J.S., Glendora, via email DEAR READERS: To remove most fresh stains left by deodorants and antiperspirants, rub clothes with undiluted white vinegar, and then launder as usual, using the hottest water safe for fabric. FYI: To help make most rice fluffy, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the cooking water. DEAR HELOISE: I finally got so tired of not finding black stuff in my black-lined purse, computer bag or carry-on bags (even the black car console) that out of desperation, I started marking the black cases with colored electrical tape. I would suggest bright orange or bright yellow. -- Barbara Colman, via email Send a money- or time-saving hint to Heloise, P.O.

The impact of soaring energy costs and Brexit has been discussed by a new group aiming to help Scotland’s retail sector in its recovery from the pandemic. The first meeting of the Retail Industry Leadership Group (RILG) also saw members consider how to deliver the Scottish Government’s Retail Strategy. Co-chaired by public finance minister Tom Arthur and John Lewis Partnership CEO Andrew Murphy, the group includes senior business representatives, trade unions and industry groups. It intends to work alongside Holyrood to assist the country’s retail sector in tackling challenges while emerging with more resilience from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Mr Arthur said: “This first meeting of the Retail Industry Leadership Group was timely given the cost crisis we are facing, and allowed us to learn more about the impact on retail businesses, staff and customers. “Implementing the retail strategy can help the sector seize opportunities, deal with longer-term trends, and recover from immediate challenges. “There is no single solution to helping retailers so, as we approach a challenging winter, it is essential the response from Government at every level happens at speed, to address the nature and magnitude of the emergency.” Mr Murphy added: “There was a shared concern around the impact inflation is having on suppliers, employees, customers and our communities through the current cost-of-living crisis. “It is clear that both retailers and the Scottish Government continue to work hard to find ways to provide more support where they can. “I’m excited by the evident enthusiasm of the leadership group to drive forward the implementation of the retail strategy. Fair Work, the skills agenda and the importance of retail in delivering high quality town and city centres are uppermost in our minds as we look ahead to the next few months.”

RICHMOND, Va. -- It is a warm and humid morning with some scattered clouds and some fog in spots. Today will have a mix of clouds and sunshine. It will be hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s, but it will feel a few degrees hotter. Highs will be in the mid 80s near the coast. A cold front will trigger a few scattered storms. These will not impact a lot of the area, but the storms that do develop will produce some heavy rainfall and the potential for some gusts over 30 mph. The best chance for a storm will be mid-afternoon into early evening, and there is a slightly better chance of a storm south and southeast of Richmond. Sunday will be partly cloudy and humid with highs near 90. An isolated storm or two will be possible in the afternoon. Monday will be hot and humid with highs in the lower 90s. Highs will reach the low to mid 90s on Tuesday. A few isolated storms are possible later in the day, mostly northwest of Richmond. A cold front will bring a few scattered storms on Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Less humid and slightly cooler air will arrive for the end of the week, coinciding with the first few days of September. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s Thursday into next weekend. Lows Friday morning will drop into the lower 60s in the metro, with some 50s in outlying areas. Tropics: A tropical wave is in the central Caribbean, and is tracking westward towards Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula. A second tropical wave is in the middle of the Atlantic, and is tracking towards the Caribbean. Both of these areas of interest do not show any decent signs of major development over the next few days.

'House of the Dragon' renewed for second season HBO announced Friday that the "House of the Dragon" fantasy drama would return for a second season. HBO announced Friday that the "House of the Dragon" fantasy drama would return for a second season, after the "Game of Thrones" prequel debuted to nearly 10 million US viewers. Set years earlier in the same universe of George R.R. Martin's books, "House of the Dragon" depicts the glory days of the ancestors of popular "Thrones" characters, such as Daenerys Targaryen. It is based on his book, "Fire and Blood." HBO's return to Westeros, and its prequel show's addictive blend of scheming dynasties, gory violence and arguably gratuitous sex, has boasted solid numbers and drawn generally warm praise from critics. The show's premiere drew 9.98 million viewers in the United States, making it "the largest audience for any new original series in the history of HBO," the television network's owner, WarnerMedia, said in a statement earlier this week. "Game of Thrones" ran for eight seasons between 2011 and 2019, and other spin-offs are in the works. Some analysts noted that that title drew a whopping 17.4 million viewers to the debut of its final season. Still, the "House of the Dragon" premiere represents a success for newly merged Warner Bros Discovery, which is under intense scrutiny as it tries to navigate the rapidly changing entertainment landscape dominated by the so-called "streaming wars." On September 2, fierce competition will arrive in the form of "The Rings of Power," another swords-and-dragons-themed epic of the small screen, this time taking place in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, and created by retail giant Amazon's own streaming platform Prime Video. © Copyright AFP 2022. All rights reserved.

Activists block the development of a parking lot. Is that the best way to stop displacement? A consultant by day, Richard Day serves on the board of Renaissance Social Services, an affordable housing provider in Chicago. (The opinions expressed here are his own.) He has no involvement in the planned Weiss Hospital parking lot development. A battle over a new transit-oriented development in Uptown has gone to overtime. Even though the Weiss Hospital parking lot, located at the northeast corner of Wilson and Clarendon avenues, has already been sold and zoning changes approved, activists are currently occupying the site with a tent city in an effort to block construction. Research shows that, generally, new construction helps lower nearby rents and reduce housing displacement (more on that in a bit.) However, the opponents are worried that yet another upscale development in Uptown, with only a few onsite affordable units, will exacerbate displacing pressures in the gentrifying neighborhood. Developer Lincoln Property Company purchased the parking lot, located adjacent to Weiss for $12 million. (The hospital, at 4646 N Marine Dr, is currently owned by Pipeline Health, but it is in the process of being sold to Resilience Healthcare, which is based in Michigan.) Weiss claims that the funds will be reinvested in the hospital. Under a plan already approved by the City Council, Lincoln will build 314 apartments and 136 car parking spaces on the site, located half a mile east of the Wilson Red Line station. Only eight of those apartments will be rented at affordable rents set by the city and restricted to income-qualifying residents but, in compliance with Chicago’s Affordable Requirements Ordinance, the developer is also making a $3.1 million payment to Sarah’s Circle, a housing nonprofit. Sarah’s Circle has a $16 million project to build another 28 affordable units nearby, which was permitted this week. The project is designed to encourage transit ridership. It’s about a ten-minute walk from the ‘L’, adjacent to multiple bus routes, and only some tenants will have access to a parking space. According to a calculator developed by the Center for Neighborhood Technology and the Metropolitan Planning Council, almost a million jobs are accessible from the site within a 30-minute transit ride (33 more than than the average TOD project), and the project is expected to generate roughly $9 million in tax revenue for the city over a ten year period. Last year Lincoln Property Company said studios in the building will rent for $1,600, one-bedroom apartments units will go for between $1,700 and $2,200; and two-bedroom units will rent for between $1,700 and $2,200. Activists are worried about gentrification and displacement The activists occupying the lot worry that the additional upscale units will raise housing prices in Uptown, pointing to the paltry number of onsite affordable units. “Every time a new luxury development is built there is a wave of people who come to the neighborhood, and they are often rich, white, young people with disposable income,” said Debbie Baumgartner, an affordable housing leader with the community group ONE Northside. “Each time a luxury development comes in and gets filled with these new faces, there is more reinforcement added to the foundation of gentrification.” Baumgartner pointed to the Wilson Men’s Hotel, a single room occupancy building near the Red Line stop that was recently converted to luxury micro-apartments, as an example of a project that eliminated affordable housing. Instead, activists would like to see Weiss buy back the parking lot, and offer more healthcare services on the site. Baumgartner suggested an expansion of healthcare services offered by Weiss, such as using outdoor spaces for emergency services. But right now, the activists’ goal is to simply stop the development. Another opponent of the development, Adam Gottleib of the Chicago Union of the Homeless, told Streetsblog at the tent city today, “We would like to see the hospital use the land as a parking lot, or use it for outdoor health services like COVID testing, which they’ve done before. Really anything except luxury housing that is going to displace people and sit empty for a long time.” He said, anecdotally, members of his group have noted that many of the units in new developments in Uptown are dark at night, suggesting low occupancy. And while the activists are supportive of Sarah’s Circle, they object to the idea that its programming should be funded by private developers. Instead, they think the city should pay for these services directly. As Mothership Baby Bubba, another leader with ONE Northside put it, “[Sarah’s Circle] should not have to rely on a private developer’s ‘generosity’ for the work they do. Our city and state should fully fund the safety net. Instead, the city continues to show that they value private companies and the interests of the wealthy.” The case for more housing Local alderperson James Cappleman (46th), who has often been accused of promoting gentrification and will be stepping down next year, said he sees the issue differently. Cappleman didn’t respond to a request for comment for this story [Update: See the alder’s statement in the comment section of this post], but in a 2021 Q&A he noted that onsite affordable units still charge rents targeted at residents making 60 percent of Chicagoland’s Area Median Income. That means the “affordable” onsite units will still rent for between $900 and $1,100 per month, depending on the number of bedrooms, which means they’ll actually be affordable to middle-class people, rather than low-income or working-class residents. In contrast, the Sarah’s Circle development, called Sarah’s on Lakeside and located a block north of the parking lot at 4737 N. Sheridan Rd., will charge a maximum rent of 30 percent of the tenant’s income. Mimi Alschuler, Senior director of development for the nonprofit, noted that many of the women Sarah’s Circle serves move in with no income at all, and so pay nothing in rent. The facility will also include a demonstration kitchen, computer lab, and laundry facilities as well as space for case management support. Cappleman added that he sees important benefits to building the 306 market-rate units on the parking lot site. An observer might see new developments in a gentrifying neighborhood and take note of rising rents in the area, and assume that the new housing is causing the rent hikes. But which came first – new developments, or higher-income people moving into the community? And if the the more affluent newcomers didn’t move into these new developments, would they instead compete with other residents for existing rental housing? The alder said he thinks higher-income renters would be moving to Uptown in large numbers whether or not new housing is built to accommodate them. As he wrote in a letter announcing his support for the project, “If we don’t provide more apartments to meet the demand for upgraded units in the ward, developers will go after our naturally occurring affordable housing.” That’s exactly what happened to the Wilson Men’s Hotel. In theory, if developers can’t charge as much for luxury apartments, it’s less lucrative to convert existing housing into upscale units. In a recent Facebook post, Cappleman pointed to a study from the Upjohn Institute that found that new buildings reduce nearby rents by 5 to 7 percent. ONE Northside isn’t buying that argument. “It’s always easy to find a study that defends a particular position,” Baumgartner responded. She pointed to research from the University of Minnesota that found that new developments in Minneapolis caused higher-end rents to fall, but at the same time rents for lower-cost units rose. If that’s the case, new developments might compete with other high-cost buildings, but still attract more residents that price out renters with lower levels of income. What does the research really say about displacement and gentrification? So, as Baumgartner suggested, it seems like a he said / she said situation, with pro-development types citing studies that support their position, and anti-gentrification activists countering by pointing to other reports that back up their worldview, right? However in 2021, researchers at UCLA reviewed all of the recent studies on new construction and rental costs. They identified six papers, five of which found that new development caused nearby rents to fall. That provides support for the idea that new housing in Uptown will help reduce rent hikes for existing residents. The one outlier was the University of Minnesota paper referenced by Baumgartner. But the UCLA researchers noted that the U. of M. report didn’t adjust for inflation. That is, rents went up, but at the same rate that prices for everything else rose. When the researchers adjusted for the overall cost-of-living increase, they found that lower-end rents in Minneapolis were “essentially unchanged.” There is also strong consensus among researchers that across a wider geography, new construction helps reduce rents. That research suggests that adding new housing in Uptown will mean fewer residents will be displaced from other Chicago neighborhoods facing gentrification pressures like Rogers Park and Logan Square. And it’s not just academics who have taken this view. Joe Biden’s White House, and progressive stalwarts like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are pushing for more housing to help address high costs. Finally, the current site is a parking lot. It’s not providing any housing right now—affordable or otherwise. It’d be nice to see more than 36 total units of affordable housing coming to Uptown between the Weiss parking lot and Sarah’s Circle projects, but this is a step in the right direction. And, the millions of dollars in tax revenue that come with the Lincoln Property Company development represent more dollars that can potentially be put to use to fund homelessness services across the city. Let’s make abundant, affordable housing a priority for all Chicagoans But the activists are right about the larger point. While the Weiss Hospital development probably does pull in the right direction, Chicago’s current approach is manifestly inadequate to address our affordable housing crisis. With a shortage of almost 120,000 affordable units, it would take thousands of similarly sized developments to make a dent. And even if more developments like Weiss help prevent rent hikes in the future, that’s cold comfort for Chicagoans struggling to make rent today. The UCLA researchers noted that more market-rate housing is only a piece of the solution. Individual developments do help, but the real work needs to be done through broad-based reforms that create more affordable housing including two-flats, courtyard apartments, and new SROs. Chicago’s new citywide plan, We Will Chicago, presents an opportunity to do that. The activists are also correct that the City should spend more to address homelessness directly. ONE Northside and Cappleman both support the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless’ Bring Chicago Home campaign, which calls for a one-time increase in the real estate transfer tax that would affect homes sold for more than $1 million, which CCH said could house 12,000 people for over a decade. The battle over the Weiss parking lot, including the current tent city occupation, has attracted plenty of attention. While blocking this development would probably do more harm than good, Chicago absolutely needs to do more to fight displacement. Let’s hope activists and alderpersons alike can focus on the bigger picture, and secure abundant housing and supportive services for all Chicagoans.

Which Nike hoodie is best? Made by one of the world’s most iconic sportswear brands, a Nike hoodie is the obvious choice if you need a warm garment for exercising. However, they’re also cozy and stylish for casual wear. You can wear these versatile garments with practically any outfit, and they come in various colors. The Nike Men’s Pullover Fleece Club Hoodie, which features a roomy front pocket, is a top choice. What to know before you buy a Nike hoodie Hoodie style Before buying, you should consider what style of hoodie you’d prefer. Nike makes various options, so you’re bound to find one you like. - Zip-up: With a zipper running top to bottom, this is one of the most versatile hoodie styles since you can wear it open or closed. It’s great for days when it’s too warm for a zipped-up or pullover hoodie or when you want to show off your outfit underneath. - Pullover: Some people prefer a pullover style of hoodie because there’s no zipper for a draft to get through. It gives a smoother silhouette and has a large front pocket. - Quarter-zip: Quarter-zip hoodies have zippers that extend to around mid-chest. These are easier to get on and off than pullover versions but still have large pockets. - Funnel neck: With extended necks around the front of their hoods, funnel neck hoodies protect you from wind and rain. They’re great for exercising outdoors in winter. Materials It’s easy to assume that natural materials are always better, but in some instances, carefully designed synthetics have the upper hand. - Cotton: Cotton is natural and breathable, so it doesn’t make you feel too hot. Plus, thick cotton fabrics are cozy in cool weather. Although it’s breathable, it isn’t moisture-wicking and takes a while to dry, so it isn’t suitable for heavy exercise. - Technical fabrics: These are synthetic materials specifically designed for exercising. Most big activewear brands have their own proprietary technical fabrics. They’re usually lightweight yet still warm, quick-drying and have moisture-wicking properties, so you aren’t left feeling soggy if you sweat into your hoodie. Size You can find these hoodies in sizes from X-small to 4X-large, and Nike makes both hoodies for all adults. The only real difference is in the sizing, so be sure to check the sizing chart.

Team hoodies Nike makes hoodies featuring the colors and logos of popular sports teams. Options include the Los Angeles Lakers, Las Vegas Raiders and Portland Trailblazers. How much you can expect to spend on a Nike hoodie Most cost $40-$80, but some limited editions and team garments cost as much as $200. Nike hoodie FAQ Are Nike hoodies true to size? A. Most people have experienced buying a garment in their usual size only to find it’s too big or too small. Unfortunately, there’s no definitive answer as to whether hoodies made by Nike run true to size because it varies between versions. Some of its hoodies run true to size, while others run large or small. The best way to tell is to look at customer reviews for the hoodie you’re considering buying to see what others have said about the fit. Are Nike hoodies good quality? A. On the whole, yes, they are of good quality. They’re made using carefully chosen materials that are comfortable, durable and fit for purpose. For instance, the company uses moisture-wicking fabrics for activewear hoodies. Do Nike hoodies shrink? A.

Which Five Star notebook is best? Among the most popular names in notebooks is Five Star, a brand of planning and organizational products geared toward students in search of efficient ways to write and study. In particular, Five Star’s line of spiral notebooks caters to schooling, with durable covers, thick sheets and smart divisions. The best, a four-pack of Five Star’s DuraShield Notebooks, provides coverage for a full course load and guaranteed effectiveness for a year. They resist wear and tear, and they’re organized to support your way of studying. What to know before you buy a Five Star notebook Spiral vs. composition notebooks Two main types of notebooks are spiral and composition. With different bindings, each has their own benefits and drawbacks. - Spiral notebooks can be easily folded back along their spiral bindings; the quality of the binding influences the notebook’s longevity. The end of a Five Star spiral notebook’s binding clips back onto itself to prevent uncoiling or snagging. - Composition notebooks, sometimes referred to as softcover notebooks, feature a closed spine like that of a book. It can’t be folded over unless you break the spine. It is also often difficult to write close to the edge of a page near the binding. However, composition notebooks tend to last a lot longer. Ruling How lines are laid out in the notebook is referred to as ruling. Five Star offers three types. - College ruled notebooks are the most popular, with less space between the horizontal lines. They’re often used by older students, particularly those in college, as they welcome compact writing and lots of content. - Wide ruled notebooks have slightly more space between the lines, better catering to those with larger handwriting. - Graph, or grid ruled, feature both horizontal and vertical lines. These notebooks are useful for anyone in creative fields, such as design or architecture, as well as certain math courses. Sheets Five Star notebooks include 100 to 200 sheets, each of which allows for double-sided use. Sheets are perforated, so they can be easily torn out. When removed, the sheets measure 8 1/2 by 11 inches, which is standard paper size. The entire notebook is three-hole punched in advance to accommodate binder storage. What to look for in a quality Five Star notebook Subjects Five Star notebooks may be divided into one, two, three or five sections, called subjects. These divisions make it easier to use the same notebook for different classes, or to mark the transition from one semester to another. Cover To differentiate between multiple notebooks for different classes, choose a colored cover for each. Black, white, orange, red, green and blue are among the choices. Five Star covers resist water, protecting the pages underneath from minor spills or splashes. Some feature its patented DuraShield, which boasts antimicrobial properties to protect against bacteria. App integration Five Star offers an app designed to digitally organize and upload notes. Pages include markings to create flashcards or highlight important points on your laptop, phone or tablet. Packs and bundles Five Star sells packs of notebooks, with anywhere from two to 12 sold together. Buying in bulk is economical; even if you won’t be using every notebook for another semester or year, it helps to have some at the ready. In addition, some packs of notebooks are bundled with a gaming console controller for those who want to balance studying with playing. How much you can expect to spend on a Five Star notebook A single one costs from $10-$20, depending on subject and size. Bundles, of course, cost more. Five Star notebook FAQ How many notebooks do I need? A. Generally, one notebook is suitable for one class, particularly if you’re taking a generalized course load. Choose different color covers to stay organized. For more specialized or continuous studying, a notebook with multiple subjects may be useful. For example, if you’re taking related science courses, you may want to keep them in the same notebook in different sections. Why should I use a notebook over a laptop or tablet? A. A physical notebook may be required in middle schools or high schools where laptops are not permitted. Even with the choice, many people find writing in a notebook a better way to learn and retain knowledge, as writing is more mentally engaging than typing. Also, the ability to write legibly and take organized notes, especially quickly, is a useful skill in some professions. What’s the best Five Star notebook to buy? Top Five Star notebook Five Star 4-Pack DuraShield Notebooks What you need to know: This set of four color-coded notebooks is designed to withstand the wear and tear of an active school year.

Opinion: These are the streets that readers want closed to cars It’s only a small stretch of quiet road, but in Los Angeles — where nearly 300 people were killed in traffic last year, and where neighborhoods were designed to maximize automotive throughput — the permanent closure of Griffith Park Drive to car traffic represents a welcome new way of thinking about streets. Our streets, after all, are public spaces, and repurposing them according to their safest and best use by people is an undertaking that should be brought to all parts of Los Angeles. In that spirit, the Times Editorial Board asked readers where they’d like to see other car-free streets. The suggestions cover many parts of Los Angeles and mostly call for reworking streets that already see a lot of pedestrian and cyclist use, where driving is already inconvenient or slow. A few readers, however, want L.A. to go really bold and close off long arterials to motorists. As a cyclist and sidewalk wanderer myself, I’d say all of these ideas are worth considering (though many motorists would probably disagree). At the very least, the suggestions show plenty of us want safer, more complete streets. ———— To the editor: One candidate for L.A.'s next car-free street could be Crystal Springs Drive in Griffith Park. From the 5 Freeway offramp to the Ranger Station, Crystal Springs is two separate wide roads, one northbound and one southbound. I would love it if the city put two-way car traffic on just one of those roadways, and reserved the other for bicycling, walking, skating and scootering. It’s great that many of the park’s steeper roads are now car-free, and excellent for hill-climbing cyclists, but flatter places like Crystal Springs would be great for families, kids and other less hard-core riders. Joe Linton, Koreatown The writer is editor of Streetsblog LA. .. To the editor: Make the entire 16 miles of Wilshire Boulevard — from downtown to the ocean — our Central Park, for walking, running, cycling and enjoying a green, tree-filled space where Angelenos can experience their neighbors, nature and a reimagined city life. According to the Los Angeles Conservancy, “Spanning nearly sixteen miles from downtown to the ocean, Wilshire Boulevard is the symbolic spine of Los Angeles.” Michael and Laura Bellotti, Los Angeles .. To the editor: Out of all the streets in Los Angeles, Broadway in downtown L.A. stretching from Grand Park to the Ace Hotel offers the greatest potential for a car-free zone. Apart from historic sites including the Bradbury Building or the Orpheum and Globe theaters, it provides several amenities such as Grand Central Market, the gay night club Precinct and standout shopping facilities like Apple Tower Theater. A car-free Broadway makes downtown more attractive to pedestrians, tourists and businesses. The nearby 7th Street, Pershing Square, Civic Center and soon-to-open Historic Broadway Metro stations provide easy access from much of Los Angeles. Allowing only buses to travel through would help public transit as well in a similar way to Market Street in San Francisco. Branko Burcksen, Los Angeles .. To the editor: As someone who tries to make it to every CicLAvia event (including last Sunday’s, which was phenomenally attended), it’s obvious to me that Angelenos want more spaces free of car traffic for walking, biking, skateboarding, scootering and using wheelchairs. I live in Pasadena, and I’d like to see Green Street blocked off to car traffic. It’s already a one-way street, it’s got amazing tree cover, and there are lots of beautiful buildings with retail space that could be revived with this type of use. Pasadena has lots of car traffic, and I truly believe this could be alleviated by more dedicated bike lanes. These conversions have been painfully slow in Pasadena, however, despite growing numbers of citizens pushing for it. Sarah Richart, Pasadena .. To the editor: I am happy to see a road in Griffith Park closed to cars, especially after the tragic death of a cyclist on another road. Golden Gate Park in San Francisco recently closed the main east-west road to cars as well, making for a safer, more pedestrian-friendly environment. I live near the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where pedestrians regularly clog the sidewalks or spill into the street. I would love to see Hollywood Boulevard closed to cars, for at least a few blocks, and become more like Times Square in New York. Jillian Robertson, Los Angeles .. To the editor: I would love to see Avenue 56 connecting Figueroa Street and York Boulevard in Highland Park closed for pedestrians on weekends. Carolina Valle, Los Angeles .. To the editor: L.A. born and raised, I love the city and would visit more often if it had more safe and accessible pedestrian- and bike-friendly public space. As has been demonstrated in California, across America and around the world, public spaces free of motor vehicles have increased tourism and helped to prevent injury and death, resulting in more welcoming environments for visitors and local families. I am strongly in favor of increasing such areas in Los Angeles, and would be willing to visit more frequently if they were developed. Mark W. Dixon, Huntington Beach .. To the editor: Here’s my list of streets to close permanently to traffic: - Hollywood Boulevard between La Brea and Highland. Who wants to sit in traffic on this section of the street? Give the tourists their space. - Magnolia Boulevard in North Hollywood, between Lankershim and Vineland. Let’s give the NoHo Arts District some space. If the city wants this to be the genuine destination it deserves to be (and not one of convenience or last resort), open the streets and give it the full entertainment district vibe. - Sawtelle Boulevard, between La Grange and Olympic. This is another entertainment district with no need for cars. - The Leimert Triangle, a great opportunity for walkable space in Leimert Park.

Georgetown Manufacturing Facility Will Be the Largest Solar Roof Facility in the World GEORGETOWN, Texas, Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Congressman John Carter was joined by Mayor Josh Schroeder, and other community leaders to celebrate the groundbreaking of GAF Energy's new 450,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Texas. GAF Energy, a Standard Industries company and a leading provider of solar roofing in North America, is building the facility, the company's second, to meet growing demand for its award-winning Timberline Solar™ roof. Introduced earlier this year, Timberline Solar™ features the world's first nailable solar shingle and is the only roof system to directly integrate solar technology into traditional roofing processes and materials. Construction is on track to be completed summer of next year, with full-operation by the end of 2023. Portman Industrial is the owner and developer of the building and ARCO/Murray is the construction partner. "Texas' 31st district continues to grow because it's a great place to live and work, and today we see more of that growth," said Congressman Carter. "I'm proud that GAF Energy has chosen our great community to call home and create hundreds of new manufacturing jobs right here in Georgetown. GAF Energy is a shining example of the American spirit of innovation to meet the needs of today, while focusing on the future. I welcome them to my district and look forward to their continued success in their new home." "We are pleased GAF Energy selected Georgetown as their destination for their facility," Mayor Schroeder said. "Their innovative product is one that will change the market as we know it, and we are excited that it will be developed here in our backyard." "One of the reasons I was drawn to work at our parent company, Standard Industries, was their commitment to U.S.-based jobs and manufacturing. We're thrilled to be building the future of solar here in Georgetown, Texas. The community has welcomed us with open arms—and made the decision of where to build our second facility easy," said Martin DeBono, President of GAF Energy. "We're producing our technologically cutting edge Timberline Solar roof here in the U.S. because we believe it allows us to make the best product for our customers." Once complete, the manufacturing facility will provide hundreds of new U.S.-based, clean energy manufacturing jobs in the Georgetown area.

The shocking sight no parent should see - a bubbly six-year-old girl fights for her life in intensive care after a rare Covid reaction left her unable to walk or talk and her kidneys failing - A young girl had to fight for her life after she contracted Covid-19 last month - Mikayla Sullivan, 6, was rushed to ICU as her brain and spine swelled up - Five doctors battled to keep her alive as her kidneys started to fail - The Brisbane girl was 'unable to walk, talk or do anything other than be awake' A six-year-old girl was left paralysed after she caught Covid and a rare reaction saw her brain and spine swell up, leaving her unable to to walk or talk. Mikayla Sullivan was rushed to a Brisbane intensive care unit last month after the virus caused the devastating condition, which then deteriorated into kidney failure. The brave young girl spent four weeks in hospital as doctors fought to keep her alive as the disease disabled her speech and motor skills. The young girl (pictured) spent four weeks in hospital as doctors fought to keep the her alive, as the disease took a toll on her disabling her speech and fine motor skills Her mum Tiffany Sullivan said Mikayla's shocking condition suddenly grew worse in a 'whirlwind' short period of time. '[The staff] acted incredibly quickly and before I knew it we were in a room with five doctors,' she revealed. 'A head scan was done and she was taken to ICU at all Queensland Children's Hospital.' The drama started when Mikayla had abdominal pain while her family were isolating during the recent Covid peak. The girl was taken to Ipswich Hospital where she collapsed on arrival and then tested positive for the virus. Mikayla was diagnosed with gastro and sent home four days later. Tiffany Sullivan (pictured) said her daughter has no autoimmune disease or medical issues But she was unable to walk or talk, which the mum-of-five put down to her 'being absolutely exhausted'. The Covid virtual clinic called the next day and said Mikayla should return immediately as her symptoms were 'not normal'. The young girl was sent to Queensland Children's Hospital where an MRI picked up a swelling on the brain and down the spine. Ms Sullivan said doctors gave her daughter various medications after telling her they had never been seen the condition before with Covid. On the third day Mikayla went into kidney failure and was unable to stay awake, as doctors began to discuss doing a kidney bypass. Ms Sullivan told The Courier Mail she never thought her lively daughter who had been fit and healthy with no underlying issues, could end up in hospital. After the child's kidney results improved she was moved into rehab but still could not walk or talk. 'We are now home after four long weeks in the hospital,' Ms Sullivan said. '[Mikayla] started walking yesterday but her speech and fine motor skills are heavily impacted, all because of Covid.' The Brisbane mum started up a GoFundMe page to help pay for Mikayla's recovery expenses and hopes to give the girl a break. 'I'd absolutely love to take her away somewhere for a few days just to be a kid again,' Ms Sullivan said. She said Mikayla has no auto immune diseases or underlying medical issues and no regular medications: '[She] was doing completely well for her age prior to all of this. 'Covid nearly killed her.' The young girl was sent on to the Queensland Children's Hospital (pictured) where an MRI picked up a swelling on the brain and down the spine

Women say the college ignored harassment, failed to pay overtime and retaliated against them for telling the truth TALLADEGA, Ala., Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Three employees filed a federal lawsuit against Talladega College this week charging, among other things, that the college routinely failed to pay them overtime and subjected them to a hostile work environment rife with sexual harassment, degradation, and fear. The women are represented by Artur Davis (HKM Employment Attorneys) and Arnold Lizana (Law Offices of Arnold J Lizana III). Filed Thursday in the Northern District of Alabama, the lawsuit reveals a disturbing account complete with alcohol-fueled parties, unwanted sexual advances, and a culture of silence where the three women, employed as housekeepers, lived in fear for their jobs and their safety while supervisors turned a blind eye or retaliated against anyone who complained. "These women worked in an atmosphere of exploitation and intimidation when they were simply trying to earn money to survive," said Davis who confirms they are also filing charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). "Our grandmothers told these kinds of stories and they have no place in today's workforce." Among the examples outlined in the lawsuit is harassment by a state inmate working at the college as part of a work release program. Though the women notified their superiors of the behavior, which included everything from profanity, propositions, and threats to unwanted groping and fondling, they were either ignored or told to "stop griping." The lawsuit alleges that supervisors and senior executives were made aware of the harassment complaints, but never informed Talladega's Title IX Coordinator, the official responsible for investigating sexual harassment on campus. When one of the women complained to the Alabama Department of Corrections and Attorney General's Office out of fear for her safety, she was disciplined by the college and banned from campus. "By its actions, Talladega College is essentially telling women on that campus that it doesn't matter how many times you're groped, propositioned, or threatened, they're not going to do anything about it," said Lizana. "They're saying that you're not even allowed to call law enforcement and, if you do, they'll punish you." "That's not just immoral. It's illegal." Click HERE to view a copy of the lawsuit.

India appoints new Supreme Court chief justice who is due to retire in November Uday Umesh Lalit was sworn in on Saturday as India's Chief Justice for the Supreme Court, though he is only set to hold the post for 74 days before his retirement falls due in November. Under India's constitution, Supreme Court justices are required to retire aged 65 years. The chief justice is appointed by the president according seniority. Earlier this month, Lalit's predecessor Chief Justice NV Ramana said 65 "was too early to retire" for a judge. An estimated 45 million cases are pending in Indian courts according to the National Judicial Data Grid. The slow disposal was mainly due to a shortage of judges, with some 5,000 positions lying vacant in the lower judiciary, and 400 vacant position for high court judges. The Supreme Court currently has around 30 judges, and there are four vacancies.

YAMINO, Peru — For Herlin Odicio, the stranger’s offer was life-changing. In return, Odicio, the elected leader of the Cacataibo people, would stop complaining to authorities about the drug traffickers destroying the rainforest to make way for coca fields, processing labs and airstrips. The money would be transformative. Many of the estimated 4,000 Cacataibo, tucked out of the world’s view here in the lush Peruvian Amazon, live without electricity or running water. They get by largely on subsistence farming, hunting and fishing. Still, Odicio turned it down. “I couldn’t sleep after that, but I couldn’t betray my people,” he says. “I couldn’t have lived with myself. No good will come to us from narcotrafficking.” For the 36-year-old leader of the Native Federation of Cacataibo Communities, rejecting the offer in September 2020 was the beginning of a nightmare that continues to this day. Graphic death threats by phone, text, social media and, worst of all, passed on by his neighbors, led him to take his family into hiding. He now returns to Yamino only occasionally and is poised to give up his leadership role among the Cacataibo. His fears are well founded. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, an estimated 20 Indigenous leaders — four of them Cacataibo — have been killed in this frequently lawless territory, many by hit men believed to have been hired by narcotraffickers or associated loggers, as the cultivation of coca spreads from the Andean foothills to the Amazonian lowlands. “If we continue like this, with the advance of narcotrafficking, this region will become a second VRAEM,” says Angel Gutiérrez, the interim governor of Ucayali, referring to Peru’s principal coca-growing zone. The VRAEM — the Valley of the Apurímac, Ene and Mantaro rivers — produces as much of the leaf as Bolivia. The reasons for the spread are complex. Ricardo Soberón, head of the national counternarcotics agency Devida, cites rising demand and the slowdown of trade through Peru’s Pacific ports during the pandemic. That made the migration of cultivation eastward, closer to the Colombian, Brazilian and Bolivian borders, a logical alternative. Soberón believes another factor might be an increased police and military presence in the VRAEM. The hilly, forested terrain is also the hideout of the last remnants of the Shining Path, who focus more now on providing protection for the narcos than Maoist revolution. The group’s leader, Víctor Quispe Palomino, known as Comrade José, was wounded in clashes with security forces this month but remains at large in the valley. Yet clamping down on cultivation in one part of the Peruvian Amazon, a frontier zone twice the size of California, often just causes it to surge in new areas in a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. Critics warn there can be no solution without addressing the fundamental economics — including demand in the world’s largest market for cocaine: the United States. With three harvests a year, each typically yielding $700 to $1,400 per hectare before labor, pesticides and other costs, coca is far more profitable than other Amazonian crops, even with the risks associated with the illicit trade. The encroachment of cultivation on Yamino and similar communities has piled further pressure on the region’s Indigenous groups, who were already struggling with inequality, acculturation and the loss of languages. The narcotraffickers’ bloodletting is the latest assault on the Indigenous groups’ unique cultures, which developed over millennia in the rainforest but have been under assault since the rubber boom kicked off in the 19th century, including massacres by the Shining Path in the 1980s and 1990s and rampant illegal logging more recently. Many Indigenous communities here in Ucayali are now hemmed in by coca fields, their leaders’ lives under threat. The Washington Post, accompanied by volunteer monitors from Yamino, saw several coca plantations, and the toxic remains of processing labs, a short bushwhack from Odicio’s village. In Brazil, the main driver of deforestation is beef. In Peru, it’s believed to be coca. The country is the world’s second-largest source of the plant, whose leaf is the key ingredient in cocaine, after Colombia. Cultivation in Ucayali jumped from 1,734 hectares in 2019 to 10,229 hectares in 2021, according to Devida. Meanwhile, the regional government’s forestry agency has spotted 57 clandestine airstrips carved into the rainforest. Given prohibition, global demand and the comparatively low returns for cacao, coffee and other legal crops, Soberón says, that growth has been inevitable — as has been the narcoviolence that has come with it. “What has happened to Herlin is directly connected to the international price of coffee,” he says. “That price should be factoring in cocaine avoided, carbon sequestered and Indigenous people still alive.” In theory, threatened defenders of the Peruvian Amazon are protected by formal guarantees of safety from the Peruvian state. But Odicio says those guarantees aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. Police visit Yamino about once a year, he says, and have not assigned armed officers to protect him. “We can’t go to the police or prosecutors because they act so slowly anyway,” he says. “And before they do, word gets out that we have tipped them off. We’re completely on our own.” Gutiérrez, the interim governor — he was appointed after the elected governor was detained in December for alleged graft — acknowledges the problem. “Corruption is institutionalized at every level in Peru,” he says. “That’s the sad reality. It’s why citizens don’t trust their authorities.” He also notes a lack of resources: The Ucayali police have just a handful of pickup trucks and speedboats to cover 40,000 square miles of jungle. “The solution cannot be to just eradicate, eradicate, eradicate,” he says. “Without economic development, it’s going to be very difficult.” President Pedro Castillo, a populist leftist whose base is the rural poor, including coca growers and Indigenous peoples, has been notably absent on the subject. The neophyte leader, the target of five separate graft investigations and barely hanging on to power after a calamitous first year, met with Indigenous leaders in June but made no commitments. One of those leaders — Berlin Diques, the head of ORAU, the principal Indigenous federation in Ucayali — is scathing. “It was uplifting when Castillo was elected,” he says. “People felt there was finally a president who would help us. But he’s broken every single promise. He’s just the same as all the others.” The Interior Ministry, which has been led by seven different ministers since Castillo took office in July 2021, did not respond to requests for comment. A Justice Ministry spokesman agreed there was a need to provide more support to threatened Indigenous leaders but said the government was working to “visibilize” the issue. Yamino’s monitors spend half their time patrolling the village’s 112 square miles of communally shared forest using a drone provided by the environment ministry. They also tell the coca growers — often landless migrants escaping grinding poverty in the Andes — that they must leave. Some growers are amicable, monitors say, but others threaten them with machetes and rusty shotguns. “They know perfectly well they’re on our land,” says César López, 36. “But they can be quite stubborn. Some of them even ask what we’re doing here.” The monitors are careful to avoid the armed men who guard the fields on behalf of the Peruvian, Colombian and Brazilian gangs who buy the coca. From there, it’s processed and shipped north to the United States and elsewhere. It’s legal to grow coca in Peru, but only for domestic use — principally, the chewing of dried leaves as a mild stimulant. But the crop now greatly exceeds domestic consumption. At night, strange explosions have shaken the rainforest around Yamino, an effort to intimidate the community, locals say. In the neighboring village of Mariscal Cáceres, they say, armed strangers have halted traffic on the main road in recent weeks to ask the whereabouts of Cacataibo leaders and, on one occasion, pistol-whip a villager. Traffickers are also now operating in a 580-square-mile reserve for the last remaining uncontacted Cacataibo, according to the Ucayali forestry service, which has conducted overflights. The reserve was created last year after a two-decade campaign, but is now marred by coca fields and two airstrips. The reserve is the starting point of a corridor inhabited by some of the last tribes on Earth still living in isolation. It runs 300 miles northeast to the Javari, the Brazilian reserve where journalist Dom Phillips, a former Washington Post contributor, and Indigenous advocate Bruno Pereira, were killed in June. “We can defend our own land, up to a point, but we can’t go in there to defend our uncontacted brothers,” said Ucaremachi, a Yamino villager. “They’re the most vulnerable, even more than us, but if we tried to help them, it would be a bloodbath.” Soberón, the Devida chief, admires the goal of Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s new leftist president. Petro wants to start an international discussion on ending the U.S.-backed war on drugs by decriminalizing and regulating cocaine. But given opposition to that approach from Washington and elsewhere, Soberón says, it’s a “little bit utopian.” In the meantime, Devida is promoting premium coffee and cacao, which earn more than most alternatives to coca. But here, Soberón warns that demands in North America and Europe for traceability and certification for these fair-trade and organic products are financially impossible for Peruvian small farmers — pushing them back toward coca. As for Odicio, and other threatened Indigenous leaders in the rainforest, that policy debate is the least of their worries. “My family could be killed,” he says. “It’s a constant anxiety. They could show up at any time. You just don’t know.”

Elon Musk’s SpaceX and T-Mobile are teaming up in an attempt to connect mobile devices through a network of satellites, providing coverage to even the most isolated places. Under the plan, T-Mobile’s wireless network would be routed through SpaceX Starlink satellites that are in low Earth orbit. T-Mobile said that the vast majority of smartphones already on its network will be compatible with the new service using the device’s existing radio. The companies are looking to provide text coverage, including SMS, MMS and participating messaging apps, nearly everywhere in the continental U.S., Hawaii, parts of Alaska, Puerto Rico and territorial waters starting with a beta in select areas by the end of next year. They want to add voice and data coverage at a later time. T-Mobile and SpaceX say they are ready to partner with other carriers to help expand the service worldwide. “The important thing about this is that it means there’s no dead zones anywhere in the world for your cellphone,” Elon Musk said during a live event at a SpaceX facility in Texas on Thursday. The billionaire and Tesla CEO who is engaged in a legal battle with Twitter, emphasized that one of the key benefits of the service will be that it can help people who are in life threatening situations in remote areas, potentially saving lives.

NIKOPOL, Ukraine (AP) — The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in the middle of the fighting in Ukraine was temporarily knocked offline Thursday because of fire damage to a transmission line, causing a blackout across the region and heightening fears of a catastrophe in a country still haunted by the Chernobyl disaster. The complex, Europe’s largest nuclear plant, has been occupied by Russian forces and run by Ukrainian worker s since the early days of the 6-month-old war. Ukraine alleges Russia is essentially holding the plant hostage, storing weapons there and launching attacks from around it, while Moscow accuses Ukraine of recklessly firing on the facility. On Thursday, the plant was cut off from the electrical grid after fires damaged the last operating regular transmission line, according to Ukraine’s nuclear power agency, Energoatom. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed Russian shelling and said the plant’s emergency backup diesel generators had to be activated to supply power needed to run the plant. “Russia has put Ukraine and all Europeans one step away from a radiation disaster,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. Zaporizhzhia’s Russian-installed regional governor, Yevgeny Balitsky, blamed the transmission-line damage on a Ukrainian attack. It was not immediately clear whether the damaged line carried outgoing electricity or incoming power, needed for the reactors’ vital cooling systems. A backup line supplying electricity from another plant remained in place, Energoatom said. But Zelenskyy’s mention of the emergency generators being activated raised questions of whether the cooling systems were endangered. A loss of cooling could cause a nuclear meltdown. As a result of the transmission-line damage, the two reactors still in use out of the plant’s six went offline, Balitsky said, but one was quickly restored, as was electricity to the region. Many nuclear plants are designed to automatically shut down or at least reduce reactor output in the event of a loss of outgoing transmission lines. The U.N.’s International Atomic Agency said Ukraine informed it that the reactors’ emergency protection systems were triggered, and all safety systems remained operational. The three regular transmission lines at the plant are out of service because of previous war damage. “Anybody who understands nuclear safety issues has been trembling for the last six months,” Mycle Schneider, a consultant and coordinator of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report, said before the latest incident. Ukraine cannot simply shut down its nuclear plants during the war because it is heavily reliant on them. Its 15 reactors at four stations provide about half of its electricity. Still, an armed conflict near a working atomic plant is troubling for many experts and people living nearby. That fear is palpable just across the Dnieper River in Nikopol, where residents have been under nearly constant Russian shelling since July 12, with eight people killed, 850 buildings damaged and over half the population of 100,000 fleeing the city. Liudmyla Shyshkina, a 74-year-old widow who lived within sight of the Zaporizhzhia plant before her apartment was bombarded and her husband killed, said she believes the Russians are capable of intentionally causing a nuclear disaster. Zelenskyy has accused Russia of “nuclear blackmail” at Zaporizhzhia. F ighting in early March caused a brief fire at the plant’s training complex that officials said did not result in the release of any radiation. While no civilian nuclear plant is designed for a wartime situation, Zaporizhzhia’s reactors are protected by reinforced concrete containment domes that could withstand an errant shell, experts say. The more immediate concern is that a disruption in the electrical supply could knock out cooling systems essential for the reactors’ safe operation. Emergency diesel generators can be unreliable. The pools where spent fuel rods are kept while they cool are also vulnerable to shelling, which could scatter radioactive material. Kyiv told the IAEA that shelling earlier this week damaged transformers at a nearby conventional power plant, disrupting the supplies of electricity to the Zaporizhzhia plant for several hours. The atomic agency’s head, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said Thursday he hopes to send a team to the plant within days. Negotiations over how the team would access the plant are complicated but advancing, he said on France-24 television. “Kyiv accepts it. Moscow accepts it. So we need to go there,” Grossi said. At a U.N. Security Council meeting Tuesday, U.N. political chief Rosemary DiCarlo urged the withdrawal of all troops and military equipment from the plant and an agreement on a demilitarized zone around it. Speaking before Thursday’s incident, one expert explained that power is essential to cool not just the reactors but also the spent radioactive fuel. “If we lose the last one, we are at the total mercy of emergency power generators,” said Najmedin Meshkati, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Southern California. He and Schneider expressed concern that the occupation of the plant by Russian forces is also hampering safety inspections and the replacement of critical parts, and is putting severe strain on hundreds of Ukrainian staff who operate the facility. “Human error probability will be increased manifold by fatigue,” said Meshkati, part of a committee appointed by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to identify lessons from the 2011 nuclear disaster at Japan’s Fukushima plant. “Fatigue and stress are unfortunately two big safety factors.” If an incident at the Zaporizhzhia plant were to release radiation, the scale of the crisis would be determined largely by the winds and other weather conditions. The massive earthquake and tsunami that hit the Fukushima plant destroyed cooling systems, triggering meltdowns in three of its reactors. Much of the contaminated material was blown out to sea, limiting the damage. The April 26, 1986, explosion and fire at one of four reactors at the Chernobyl plant north of Kyiv sent a cloud of radioactive material across a wide swath of Europe and beyond. Zaporizhzhia’s reactors are of a different model from those at Chernobyl, but unfavorable winds could still spread radioactive contamination in any direction, said Paul Dorfman, a nuclear safety expert at the University of Sussex who has advised the British and Irish governments. “If something really went wrong, then we have a full-scale radiological catastrophe that could reach Europe, go as far as the Middle East, and certainly could reach Russia, but the most significant contamination would be in the immediate area,” he said. That’s why Nikopol’s emergency services department has been taking radiation measurements every hour since the Russian invasion. Before that, it was every four hours. ___ Jordans reported from Berlin. Associated Press writer Edith M.

LONDON (AP) — Pfizer and BioNTech have asked the European Medicines Agency to authorize their updated coronavirus booster vaccine that includes the most recent omicron subvariants. In a statement Friday, Pfizer said it is requesting that the EU drug regulator OK its combination COVID-19 vaccine that targets the original coronavirus and BA.4 and BA.5, the latest versions of omicron, which are causing the vast majority of infections globally now. Pfizer and BioNTech are asking that the vaccine be given the green light for people aged 12 and over. The European Medicines Agency is currently reviewing whether to clear updated versions of vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer that target the subvariant BA.1, an earlier version of the virus that has since been overtaken by BA.4 and BA.5; that decision is expected next week. If both of Pfizer’s updated COVID-19 boosters are authorized, the company said its adapted vaccines would be available in Europe “as early as September.” Last week, the U.K. cleared Moderna’s updated COVID-19 booster targeting the BA.1 version of omicron and said it would be included in the country’s vaccination campaign for people aged 50 and over beginning next month. Pfizer and rival Moderna both asked U.S. regulators this week to authorize modified versions of their booster vaccine — shots that are half the original recipe and half protection against BA.4 and BA.5. Health authorities hope that the tweaked boosters might blunt the expected surge of COVID-19 this winter, but it’s still unclear how effective they might be. The gamble is that BA.5, or something similar, still will be circulating this the winter and that immunization with these latest vaccines will still offer significant protection. ___ Follow all AP stories on the pandemic at https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemic.

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.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate Summer’s conclusion is almost palpable in the air. A change of season, and a shift in tastes, has begun. Already, the shelves at local stores are filling with Oktoberfest beers. Sweater weather is nearing, and a craving for stouts and more robust beers naturally follows. That means it's time to start saying goodbye to those fun, sunny summer beers and to clear out space in the fridge to accommodate the upcoming wave of brown ales, fall and winter seasonals, and all manner of pumpkin-spiced hell. But we are not there quite yet. Labor Day weekend is impending, so we have a bit more time. There are still some days to sit around the campfire, grill out and enjoy outdoor fun before the leaves fall, the shorts and tank tops are packed up and the sunshine surrenders. We need a beer that is full-bodied and substantial while maintaining that sunny character. This would be a great weekend to spend time with Pret Wit from Old Nation Brewing Company in Williamston. Old Nation's beers are rooted in the German school of brewing. Brew Master Travis Fritts, Head Brewer Nate Rykse and co-founder Rick Ghersi crank out big, bold flavors, which have made Old Nation a respected name in the craft beer community. The company made its name with "M-43," its very drinkable, juicy New England IPA that is a Michigan summer favorite. Witbier (white beer) is spiced with coriander and orange peel. It's a Belgium style that dates back hundreds of years. The folks at Hoegaardden Brewery are masters of this style. In America, Blue Moon helped review interest in this taste profile. I didn't quite know what to expect from this one. I was happily surprised. Pret Wit offers balanced spicing and delivers, dare we say, a sophisticated take on this traditional style. The coriander and orange peel are front and center, but the dry finish almost adds a white wine finish. Like another, more famous, Michigan wheat beer, I think I would prefer my next pint with an orange slice hanging off the side. Brewer: Old Nation Brewing Co. Style: Belgian-style wheat beer Price: $10.99 for a 4-pack. ABV: 5.5% Appearance: Golden orange. Mild carbonation. Medium head that quickly disappears. Aroma: Wheat, coriander. Oat. Mouthfeel: An interesting texture; there's a bite there. Heavier that it appears. Taste: This tastes similar to another Michigan favorite, Bell's Oberon, with everything you want out of a witbier. Finishes very dry. Summary: The classic witbier gets a hip makeover. Pairs With: Fish or chicken off of the grill. I can't tell you exactly why, but I'm going to dial up The Beach Boys classic "Pet Sounds." A fellow explorer, who also prefers Beer Flavored Beer, was sharing one of his finds with me. We both decided we prefer either crisp, traditional styles with a twist – think New Holland's Lightpoint which features coconut water, raw honey and orange peel – or deeply flavorful dark beers such as stouts. Let the hop-heads have their fun chasing the latest, greatest take on the IPA – they can have it. I'll take a Pret Wit over one of those every time. In fact, I might take a second one right now as I watch the sun set and settle in for the evening. I highly recommend you do the same. Until next time ... Sköll

JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered a stark warning Friday about the Fed’s determination to fight inflation with more sharp interest rate hikes: It will likely cause pain for Americans in the form of a weaker economy and job losses. The message landed with a thud on Wall Street, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 1,000 points for the day. “These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation,” Powell said in a high-profile speech at the Fed’s annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole. “But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.” Investors had been hoping for a signal from Powell that the Fed might soon moderate its rate increases later this year if inflation were to show further signs of easing. But the Fed chair indicated that that time may not be near, and stocks tumbled in response. Runaway price increases have soured most Americans on the economy, even as the unemployment rate has fallen to a half-century low of 3.5%. It has also created political risks for President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats in this fall’s elections, with Republicans denouncing Biden’s $1.9 trillion financial support package, approved last year, as having fueled inflation. The Dow Jones average finished down 3% on Friday, its worst day in three months. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite shed nearly 4%. Shorter-term Treasury yields climbed as traders built up bets for the Fed to stay aggressive with rates. Some on Wall Street expect the economy to fall into recession later this year or early next year, after which they expect the Fed to reverse itself and reduce rates. A number of Fed officials, though, have pushed back against that notion. Powell’s remarks suggested that the Fed is aiming to raise its benchmark rate — to about 3.75% to 4% by next year — yet not so high as to tank the economy, in hopes of slowing growth long enough to conquer high inflation. “The idea they are trying to hammer into the market’s head is that their approach makes a rapid pivot to (rate cuts) unlikely,” said Eric Winograd, an economist at asset manager AllianceBernstein. “They are going to stay tight even when it hurts.” After raising its key short-term rate by a steep three-quarters of a point at each of its past two meetings — part of the Fed’s fastest series of hikes since the early 1980s — Powell said the Fed might ease up on that pace “at some point,” suggesting that any such slowing isn’t near. Powell said the size of the Fed’s rate increase at its next meeting in late September — whether one-half or three-quarters of a percentage point — will depend on inflation and jobs data. An increase of either size, though, would exceed the Fed’s traditional quarter-point hike, a reflection of how severe inflation has become. The Fed chair said that while lower inflation readings that have been reported for July have been “welcome,” he added that, “a single month’s improvement falls far short of what (Fed policymakers) will need to see before we are confident that inflation is moving down.” On Friday, an inflation gauge that is closely monitored by the Fed showed that prices actually declined 0.1% from June to July. Though prices did jump 6.3% in July from 12 months earlier, that was down from a 6.8% year-over-year jump in June, which had been the highest since 1982. The drop largely reflected lower gas prices. In his speech Friday, Powell noted that the history of high inflation in the 1970s, when the central bank sought to counter high prices with only intermittent rate hikes, shows that the Fed must stay focused. “The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely” lowering interest rates, he said. “We must keep at it until the job is done.” What particularly worries Powell and other Fed officials is the prospect that inflation would become entrenched, leading consumers and businesses to change their behavior in ways that would perpetuate higher prices. If, for example, workers began demanding higher pay to match higher inflation, many employers would then pass on those higher labor costs to consumers in the form of higher prices. Many analysts speculate that Fed officials want to see roughly six months or so of lower monthly inflation readings, similar to July’s, before stopping their rate hikes. Powell’s speech was the marquee event of the the Fed’s annual economic symposium at Jackson Hole, the first time the conference of central bankers is being held in person since 2019, after it went virtual for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March, the Fed has implemented its fastest pace of rate increases in decades to try to curb inflation, which has punished households with soaring costs for food, gas, rent and other necessities. The central bank has lifted its benchmark rate by 2 full percentage points in just four meetings, to a range of 2.25% to 2.5%. Those hikes have led to higher costs for mortgages, car loans and other consumer and business borrowing. Home sales have been plunging since the Fed first signaled it would raise borrowing costs. In June, the Fed’s policymakers signaled that they expected their key rate to end 2022 in a range of 3.25% to 3.5% and then to rise further next year to between 3.75% and 4%. If rates reached their projected level at the end of this year, they would be at the highest point since 2008. Powell is betting that he can engineer a high-risk outcome: Slow the economy enough to ease inflation pressures yet not so much as to trigger a recession. His task has been complicated by the economy’s cloudy picture: On Thursday, the government said the economy shrank at a 0.6% annual rate in the April-June period, the second straight quarter of contraction. Yet employers are still hiring rapidly, and the number of people seeking unemployment aid, a measure of layoffs, remains relatively low. At its meeting in July, Fed policymakers expressed two competing concerns that highlighted their delicate task. According to minutes from that meeting, the officials — who aren’t identified by name — have prioritized their inflation fight. Still, some officials said there was a risk that the Fed would raise borrowing costs more than necessary, risking a recession. If inflation were to fall closer to the Fed’s 2% target and the economy weakened further, those diverging views could become hard to reconcile. At last year’s Jackson Hole symposium, Powell listed five reasons why he thought inflation would be “transitory.” Yet instead it has persisted, and many economists have noted that those remarks haven’t aged well. Powell indirectly acknowledged that history at the outset of his remarks Friday, when he said that, “at past Jackson Hole conferences, I have discussed broad topics such as the ever-changing structure of the economy and the challenges of conducting monetary policy.” “Today,” he said, “my remarks will be shorter, my focus narrower and my message more direct.”

Which kitchen sink organizer is best? Storing your cleaning tools near the kitchen sink helps keep things tidy and hygienic. The best kitchen sink organizers have spaces designed for necessary items, including dish soap, sponges and scrub brushes. If you’re looking for something that you can customize with removable dividers that keeps the essentials on hand, the Amazon Basics Kitchen Sink Organizer and Sponge Holder is the best. What to know before you buy a kitchen sink organizer Size The best kitchen sink organizers are small enough to fit on the edge of the sink or nearby countertop. They are often between 6 and 10 inches wide, although most are on the smaller end. Consider the depth of the lip on your sink as well. Organizers meant to go near the faucet are around 5 inches deep. Larger organizers can go on the countertop near the sink. Those with baskets for storage are between 4 and 5 inches tall. Compartments Some organizers include divided compartments, ideal for storing upright items such as scrub brushes and sponges. This optimizes space as well as providing support to keep items from falling. Removable and adjustable dividers have the most customization. Ventilation holes help things dry quickly, even in storage compartments. Design Kitchen sink organizers can be flat or have one or more vertical baskets for storage. Hanging arms for damp towels provide extra utility, although they are rarely big enough for anything but a small washcloth. Holes and ridges on the bottom surface keep water from pooling under your items. These are often designed in geometric shapes for added visual interest and function. What to look for in a quality kitchen sink organizer Material Kitchen sink organizers come in silicone, plastic or metal. - Silicone is the most flexible and is used for flat organizers rather than baskets. - Plastics are usually shatterproof and thick enough to hold heavy items such as full bottles of dish soap without bending. - Metal organizers are the most rigid but can rust and wear, especially at the joints and corners. Look for stainless steel or powder-coated metal that is rustproof. Durability Silicone is a durable material that is also non-slip. Plastic made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene holds up under hot and wet conditions. Metal is one of the most durable materials, but should be coated to work well in water. Smaller pieces, such as towel racks or wire baskets, are often the first places that show wear. Look for sturdy construction and welds that connect these parts to the main organizer base. Drainage Organizers that let water drain keep your sponges and brushes cleaner and ready to use. Some have drainage trays you manually empty while others let water drain into the sink through a built-in lip. Look for an organizer that’s easy to keep dry. This increases the longevity of the organizer and the items it stores. Easy cleaning Even the best organizers get dirty with use. Look for one that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. White kitchen sink organizers may need regular wiping to keep from staining. Emptying them to rinse and dry is another option, although that requires more time and space. Removable trays and liners make this process easier by eliminating the need to wash the entire organizer. How much you can expect to spend on a kitchen sink organizer Kitchen sink organizers cost $10-$20. Cost is based on material, size and features such as baskets and towel bars. Kitchen sink organizer FAQ How do I keep my kitchen sink tidy? A. A consistent daily cleaning routine is key to keeping your kitchen sink tidy. Keeping things such as dish soap and sponges nearby encourages you to wash dishes, wipe up spills and even deep clean regularly. Use a cloth to wipe down the sink, including the organizer, after each time you wash dishes. How do I add storage to my sink? A. Use convenient spaces such as the lip by the faucet or nearby countertop space to store things you use daily, such as dish soap. Putting your items in a kitchen sink organizer keeps things from looking cluttered. You can also use the same ones under the sink for additional storage. This space is ideal for things you use less frequently, such as dishwasher pods or silicone gloves. What’s the best kitchen sink organizer to buy?

A new DeLorean EV recently broke cover and plans for sales are brewing—but in the meantime, a pristine example of the original 1983 DeLorean DMC-12 is for sale through Podium Auto Sales in Pompano Beach, Florida, with a $98,000 asking price. First spotted by Carscoops, the dealership says this DMC-12 was put in climate-controlled storage in 1986 with 5,397 miles on the odometer and stayed there until now. So while it’s not one of the “Back to the Future” movie cars, it is a time traveler of sorts. While it boasts low mileage, this car’s long period in storage meant certain items, including the fuel pump, spark plugs, oil filter, and fuel lines, needed to be replaced to recommission it. The seller also noted that the fuel tank was flushed, the brake calipers were rebuilt, and struts for the gullwing doors and luggage compartment were replaced. However, the car still has its 1981 Goodyear tires, which would also need to be replaced to drive it. It’s unclear how pleasant driving this DMC-12 would actually be, given that it’s motivated by an underwhelming 2.8-liter V-6 that only makes about 130 hp. The main attraction is really the stainless steel bodywork penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro in his angular-design heyday. The DMC-12 was only produced from 1981 to 1983, making this one of the last cars made. The rollercoaster rise and fall of the company under namesake and former General Motors executive John DeLorean is a classic tale of automotive intrigue that ended in the FBI charging DeLorean with cocaine trafficking (he was found not guilty). The DMC-12’s star turn in “Back to the Future” came too late to save the company. Fast forward to today, and DeLorean is making a comeback with the Alpha5, which reimagines the brand for an all-electric era. The revived DeLorean is planning additional models as well, but it remains to be seen whether these new electric DeLoreans will have the staying power of the 1980s original.

Toyota has finally ended its fight with California, recognizes the state’s authority to set its own, tougher emissions standards through the California Air Resources Board (CARB) under the Clean Air Act. The automaker said Wednesday that it had communicated this to CARB and the California state government. “In our recent communication, we acknowledged CARB’s leadership in climate policies and its authority to set vehicle emissions standards under the Clean Air Act,” according to a Toyota press release. That quickly drew a positive response from the agency. “Although we’ve had differences in the past, we look forward to advancing #ZEVs together on positive footing,” CARB chair Liane Randolph tweeted later the same day, referring to zero-emission vehicles. In 2019, Toyota was one of the automakers that joined an attempt to challenge California’s Clean Air Act exemption and right to regulate automotive emissions by the Trump administration. It was represented by Association of Global Automakers lobbying group alongside Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru, Aston Martin, and Maserati. General Motors and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now Stellantis) also sided with the Trump administration. Both companies previously ended their opposition to California’s emissions authority, while Ford, BMW, Honda, and Volkswagen backed California from the start. That led the state government to boycott the involved automakers. Toyota may now be eligible for fleet purchases from the California government again, the Los Angeles Times noted. Toyota is now shifting focus to electric cars, with plans for 30 production models globally by 2030. Still, Toyota said earlier last year that it’s too early to focus on EVs, and it still anticipates that 85% of its new cars will have a tailpipe in 2030.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation eased last month as energy prices tumbled, raising hopes that the surging costs of everything from gasoline to food may have peaked. According to a Commerce Department report Friday that is closely watched by the Federal Reserve, consumer prices rose 6.3% in July from a year earlier after posting an annual increase of 6.8% in June, the biggest jump since 1982. Energy prices made the difference in July: They dropped last month after surging in June. Yet on the same day at the Federal Reserve’s annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Chair Jerome Powell delivered a stark message: The Fed will likely impose more large interest rate hikes in coming months and is resolutely focused on taming inflation. There was hope that the Fed might signal a moderation in rate increases if inflation were to show further signs of easing. So-called core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 4.6% last month from a year earlier after rising 4.8% in June. The drop — along with a reduction in the Labor Department’s consumer price index last month — suggests that inflationary pressures may be easing. On a monthly basis, consumer prices actually fell 0.1% from June to July; core inflation blipped up 0.1%, the Commerce Department reported. And the Fed appears ready to continue efforts to ensure prices are moving in the right direction. Inflation started rising sharply in the spring of 2021 as the economy rebounded with surprising speed from the short but devastating coronavirus recession a year earlier. Surging customer orders overwhelmed factories, ports and freight yards, leading to delays, shortages and higher prices. Inflation is a worldwide problem, especially since the Russian invasion of Ukraine drove up global food and energy prices. On Friday, regulators in the U.K. said that residents will see an 80% increase in their annual household energy bills. In the United States, the Commerce Department’s personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index is less well known than the Labor Department’s consumer price index (CPI). But the Fed prefers the PCE index as a gauge of inflationary pressures, partly because the Commerce index attempts to measure how consumers adjust to rising prices by, for example, substituting cheaper store brands for pricier name brands. There is evidence just in the last several months that that is taking place at numerous levels. CPI has been showing higher inflation than PCE; Last month, for instance, CPI was running at an 8.5% annual pace after hitting a four-decade high 9.1% in June. One reason: The Labor Department’s index gives more weight to rents, which have soared this year. The Commerce Department also reported Friday that Americans’ after-tax personal income rose 0.3% from June to July after adjusting for inflation; it has fallen in June. Consumer spending rose 0.2% last month after accounting for higher prices. Spiking prices have become a political threat to the current administration and President Joe Biden was quick to point to the latest data that could show inflation is loosening its grip. “The American people are starting to get some relief from high prices, and the Inflation Reduction Act that I signed last month will also help bring prices down,” Biden said Friday. “Gas prices decreased every day this summer – the fastest decline in over a decade. And, today’s report showed that personal income was up last month as well.” The Fed was slow to respond to rising inflation, thinking it the temporary result of supply chain bottlenecks. But as prices continued to climb, the U.S. central bank moved aggressively, hiking its benchmark interest rate four times since March. On Friday, Powell warned more explicitly than he has in the past that the Fed’s continued tightening of credit will cause pain for many households and businesses as its higher rates further slow the economy and potentially lead to job losses. “These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation,” Powell said. “But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.” Price pressures may already be easing as the U.S. economy slows. Gross domestic product — broadest measure of economic output — shrank in the first half of 2020 as borrowing costs increased. The housing market has been hit especially hard. And supply chain backlogs have started to unsnarl. “Inflation appears to have peaked in mid-2022 and should slow on a year-over-year basis through the rest of this year and in 2023,″ said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC. Nick Zawitz, who runs Tangle Creations, a South San Francisco company that makes Fidget Toys among others, said that shipping costs have plunged and raw materials prices have dropped slightly. Meanwhile, the company’s sales are up 45% over the past year. “Things are chugging along,’’ Zawitz said. _______ AP White House Correspondent Zeke Miller contributed to this report from Washington, D.C.

Which wall map is best? Wall maps are great ways to see things on a grand scale. People can see where they’ve been, where they want to go and places they’ve only dreamed of. Wall maps also often have themes, making them great ways to learn more than geography. You’ll find wall maps that focus on such things as topography, ocean currents and much more. Maps are also things of beauty. When framed in ways that complement your map and home, they become works of art. If you are looking for a special foil map made to keep track of places you’ve been, take a look at the Maps International Scratch the World Travel Map. What to know before you buy a wall map Scale - World: World maps show the entire planet Earth. Their goal is to provide a broad overview with little detail. The big problem with world maps is that the world is round and the map is flat. Map makers continue to refine global proportions with the precise measurements of global positioning satellites. - Nation: Maps that focus on a single country provide detail down to small towns and surrounding rural areas. Maps of nations also show where they are situated relative to other countries and what constitutes their borders. - City: Maps that focus on a single city provide the greatest level of detail about it, to the exclusion of the surrounding areas. Highways, roads and streets are clearly labeled. - Region: Regional maps can be an entire continent or an area such as the Rocky Mountains or the Finger Lakes region. - Interactive: From push pin and dry-erase maps to scratch maps, also called foil maps, some maps are meant to used actively. - Specialty maps: There are choices for people who want maps that show the location of state parks, campsites, caves and more. Maps of tourist areas that highlight their attractions are popular as souvenirs people frame, mat and turn into artwork to place on your wall. Size The bigger the map, the more detail that can be included. - Small wall maps measure about 18 by 24 inches. They look good in small spaces but are overwhelmed if placed on a large wall. - Mid-size maps are those in the neighborhood of 24 by 36 inches. - Large maps start at 32 by 55 inches and some are as big as 8 feet across. Large wall maps need a lot of space and can easily dominate a room. What to look for in a quality wall map Information How comprehensive do you want your wall map to be? Are geographical boundaries enough, or do you want to know about things like topography, terrain and landscapes? What about climates and ocean currents? Choose a wall map that highlights the themes that interest you most. Details Maps that show us the terrain beneath the oceans let us see how ridges formed on the seabed, continents were shoved around on tectonic plates and volcanoes grew so tall they became tiny islands at their very tips. Design Choose only wall maps with designs that inspire you. The Earth can be displayed in many ways using many perspectives. Choose a wall map that interests you enough to look at every day. Scratch maps These wall maps are interactive. Like scratch-off lottery tickets, they are covered in foil that you scratch off to reveal the map beneath, indicating the places you have traveled to or the countries your company ships to. How much you can expect to spend on a wall map Wall maps cost from $10-$200, depending on the materials used, the accuracy of the information and the quality of the design. Wall map FAQ What is a map scale? A. A scale is a measurement method used to shrink something in size while maintaining the same proportions. A city map might have a scale where one inch on the map equals one mile in the real, full-sized city. The world is 25,000 miles around, so to fit it onto a wall map, each inch would have to represent hundreds or thousands of miles. How do world maps show a round globe on a flat piece of paper? A. The answer is in how the Earth is divided into longitudes and latitudes. These dimensions are measured in degrees from zero to 360 like the arcs of the full circles they are. But the longitudes aren’t completely parallel — they come together at the poles, forming segments that taper to points at the ends. When longitudes are printed as parallel lines on paper, the curvature of the Earth is lost. The result is that the farther you get from the center, the greater the distortion. This is why Greenland and Antarctica look bigger than they really are on most world maps. What’s the best wall map to buy? Top wall map Maps International Scratch the World Travel Map What you need to know: This 23- by 33-inch map is interactive, made so world travelers can scratch off the places they have been. What you’ll love: This classic scratch map comes rolled in a cardboard tube that protects it from creasing. Along its bottom are facts and figures about some of the cities and countries around the world. What you should consider: The size and proportions do not fit a standard frame. Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Top wall map for the money Swiftmaps 24- by 36-inch World and USA Two-Wall Mat Set What you need to know: You get two maps for the price of one. What you’ll love: Both maps are drawn in a style that emphasizes terrain, printed on heavy 100-pound paper and laminated so you can draw on them with dry ink. The USA map includes parts of Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. What you should consider: Some buyers wished there was more detail. Where to buy: Sold by Amazon Worth checking out Star Builders Solar System and Beyond Wall Map What you need to know: This 20- by 55-inch poster-size laminated paper map is full of fascinating detail. What you’ll love: All the planets are portrayed, of course, but so are their axial tilt, orbit inclination, surface temperature, rotation period and all the known moons.

FedEx partners threaten to halt holiday deliveries People hoping to get their holiday shopping delivered on time could be caught in the middle of a growing battle between FedEx and thousands of contractors who deliver most FedEx packages. Related video above: How to Keep ‘Porch Pirates’ Away From Your Packages Many of the contractors used by the company's FedEx Ground division say they are losing money, even as revenue at that unit soared more than 60% since before the pandemic. As a result, a group of the contractors are threatening to shutter their operations right before Black Friday. FedEx Express depends on FedEx employees to move its shipments, but FedEx Ground depends on a network of more than 6,000 independent businesses to make deliveries. Many of them have dozens, or even more than 100 drivers. Most consumers probably don't realize the FedEx Ground drivers stopping at their doors, wearing FedEx uniforms, are actually working for the contractors, not FedEx itself. Higher costs for fuel, trucks and driver pay have as many as 30% of those contractors losing money, according to an estimate from Deutsche Bank. Many of the contractors are in the process of forming a trade group to pressure FedEx to improve the terms of the compensation packages they receive. The contractors are not allowed to coordinate a shutdown, the way employees can go on strike under U.S. labor law. Such coordinated action would be considered a violation of antitrust law that prevents separate companies from working in concert with one another. But talk of a pre-Black Friday shutdown is spreading among the contractors who are most vocal about the need for change. Losing money "My business is losing money every day," said Spencer Patton, one of the largest contractors and the most vocal critic of FedEx Ground's relationship with its partner network. "And my business will not be able to continue operation past Nov. 25. Peak season is one of highest cost of operations time of the year. I have to double the number of trucks, hire drivers. I will not do so if things don't change." His suburban Nashville-based company, Patton Logistics, has 275 trucks serving hundreds of FedEx Ground routes spread across 10 states in the central U.S. His trucks delivered about 6.5 million FedEx packages last year. He said the wages he needs to pay to keep drivers are up 37% in the last year, while truck prices are up 30%. Although the average price of diesel is down 14% from the record high hit in June, it is still up 52% compared to a year ago, according to AAA. "Fuel prices have come down off a boil, and that undoubtedly has been a benefit. But wage pressures remains boiling hot," Patton said. "We are actually competing against FedEx for drivers." Patton has been a contractor for 10 years. He started making his own deliveries on a single route before growing the business. He said historically he had about a 10% profit margin excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Now he said he's losing 5% to 10% on that basis. Meanwhile, FedEx reported that revenue at its FedEx Ground unit increased $2.7 billion, or 9%, to $33.2 billion in the fiscal year ending in May compared to the previous fiscal year, although its operating profit fell 17% to $2.6 billion. FedEx Ground pushes back FedEx Ground is refusing to offer the kind of across-the-board financial relief to its contractors that Patton and others are seeking. It said that since January, only 10% of contractors had sought relief. "We recognize that current economic conditions are posing new challenges," FedEx Ground said in a statement. "We remain committed to working with service provider businesses individually to address the challenges specific to their situation. Our goal is to enable success for both FedEx Ground and service providers." Patton said almost none of the contractors who have sought better terms from FedEx Ground have been granted them. FedEx did not comment on what percent of contractors have had the terms of their contracts improved, although it said more than 1,600 contractors are operating under newly negotiated or renegotiated agreements. Many if not most of those contracts were due to be renegotiated under terms of the prior agreements. FedEx Ground also would not comment directly about the threat of some contractors shutting down just before the holiday shopping season. "We are committed to providing outstanding service to shippers and recipients, and we believe the vast majority of service providers are as well," said the company's statement. "We have confidence in our contingency planning and ability to deliver for our customers during this time as we weather economic changes." FedEx fights back On Friday, FedEx filed a federal lawsuit against Patton's company seeking a court order to stop him talking about a possible shutdown, and asking for unspecified monetary damages. It charges that Patton is seeking to get FedEx Ground contractors riled up as part of "a promotional campaign for the consultancy, brokerage and other services" that a separate business he runs, Route Consultant, provides to other contractors. And the suit also said that while Patton "claimed to be speaking only 'on behalf of [his] individual businesses,' he plainly was attempting to influence a group walk-out or boycott" starting on Black Friday." Patton issued a statement saying he will not stop his complaints about FedEx Ground's relations with contractors, despite the lawsuit. "I knew when I started speaking on behalf of small business owners in the community that a lawsuit was a likely weapon FedEx would deploy," he said. Survival mode FedEx Ground provided CNN Business the names of several contractors who said they are doing OK financially despite the economic problems at some other contractors. But even some of those expressed concern what would happen if a significant number of contractors halt operations due to financial problems. "I know there are others who are hurting, but fortunately I'm not in the red," said Troy Fulsom, a contractor with about two-dozen drivers based in Fresno. "For me, luckily, I have an area where we're booming, expanding. But our profit margins are thinner. Your heart goes out to those in that position who need to set the ultimatum. That's a real concern if some people are shutting down operations, and what it would do to the business, and customers shifting away. With the talk out there, it is a scary thing." Some of the contractors who say they are losing money said they have no choice but to try to push through and weather the losses and can't afford to join any shutdown effort. "That's not something I'm going to be able to do," said David Dorner, a contractor based in Medford, Oregon, about the possibility of a halt of operations. "I'd love to join in. But it would put me in a situation where FedEx can step in and take the business away from me." Dorner is about to have a new contract with FedEx go into effect in October and he hopes it's enough to get him back in the black. But even if he doesn't shut down as part of a pre-Black Friday action, he said he won't be able to go on indefinitely if he doesn't become profitable again sometime soon. "I'm in survival mode, just struggling to put trucks out there every day," he said. "It'll be sad if nothing changes and we have to shut our doors."

Ken Schreiber analyzes the state of college football as the season gets underway I am thrilled to be back for our seventh season covering the national college football scene. While a late-season column always addresses the "health" of college football, the handwriting for its imminent demise as we know it calls for its immediate attention now. Once upon a time, conference affiliation was regional and colleges with long histories and traditions were connected at the hip. Today, there are no longer any boundaries. Money and greed have replaced tradition and relationships as the driving forces behind all changes and it will further erode the landscape as we know it. Here's my analysis, in five parts, of what’s happened and what’s coming. Expansion helps some, hurts others With UCLA and USC leaving the PAC 12 for greener pastures in the Big Ten, the Big Ten now extends from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Does that make any sense? Geographically, no but financially, yes. The same thing happened a year ago after Oklahoma and Texas announced they were leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. The Big 12 survived (at least for the time being), but its two brand schools are gone after 2024. It‘s a jungle out there and it’s survival of the fittest. Is that good for college football? Of course, not. Is it good for the Big 12 or the PAC 12 which also lost its two marquee teams and the Los Angeles market? Of course, not. But is it good for the Trojans and Bruins, two programs that have been members of the PAC 12 for 94 years? Well, the Big Ten just signed a seven-year, $7-billion contract with various networks that will net each team as much as $100 million per year. That's about 400% more than the schools made last year. So financially and selfishly, it's a no-brainer economically. But the damage caused to its remaining conference members is irreparable. So much for the "alliance" between the Big Ten/Pac 12/ACC. So much for competitive balance. It’s every team for itself and nobody can be trusted. Universities are big businesses with CFOs, not academia with presidents. The rich get richer and the sport will suffer. Are the Fighting Irish next, then who? The next domino to fall is probably Notre Dame. Do the Irish choose a conference or stay independent? Their contract with NBC ends in 2025 and there is talk of maintaining their independent status. The ACC? Their members are supposedly locked in until 2036 because the conference maintains its individual schools' television rights. Since when has a contract stopped anybody from breaching it to allow for an early release? Just waiting for Clemson, Florida State and Miami to join perhaps Virginia and North Carolina in declaring publicly their desire to leave now. If Oklahoma can turn its back on Oklahoma State, Virginia and North Carolina can do the same to Virginia Tech and NC State. Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt and the rest? Nobody cares. It will happen; the only question is when. So where do I see college football‘s future? A 10-team Pac 12 and the newly formed Big 12 either merging to stay relevant or disappearing, leaving three super conferences —an expanded Big Ten (Washington and Oregon), an expanded SEC (Florida State and Clemson for sure) and a consolidated Big 12/Pac 12. The leftovers from the ACC will have a weaker league but be absorbed by the Big East for basketball only, creating the best college basketball league in the country. Yes, I said the Big East. Connecticut was the precursor of things to come. Remember you didn’t just hear it here first; you heard it only here, period! Transfer rule, NIL and the NCAA More than 2,000 players transferred this past academic year. With no rule to sit out a year as in the past, players can leave on a whim. Teams don’t need a coach, they need a general manager. Many are calling it “the Wild West.” I call it insane. One year in and we are seeing players and recruits go to the highest bidder, thanks to Name, Image and Likeness. It will only get worse before it gets better. What would have gotten your team on probation or the death penalty in the past (see SMU), now is accepted and encouraged. Players are finally getting paid. Fantastic. But the next time a paid college football player is referred to as a student-athlete, please correct the reference as an oxymoron. The NCAA was once a powerful organization that regulated all college sports. Now a shade of itself, it is merely a symbolic entity as it relates to college football and I expect it will have no role whatsoever over the sport in the foreseeable future. Expect the College Football Playoff to have greater authority, especially after it negotiates the new playoff after 2026 when the current contract runs out. That’s when the super conferences will dictate how the revenue is distributed and how many teams will qualify. Expect the SEC and Big Ten to have 18-20 teams by then. Urban Meyer won't go away Yes, he’s back as an in-studio analyst at Fox. Fired for cause by the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars last year just 13 games into his first season only added to his resumé: The scandal at Ohio State. Suspended three games. Videotaped publicly in compromising situations. Abuse of players allegations. Coaching a plethora of players who were arrested for crimes. Maybe this just adds to his appeal as a studio commentator. Yeah, right. I believe in second chances but come on! On the field There are 11 games on Saturday but only one involving two Power Five teams. Nebraska and Northwestern are playing in Dublin, Ireland. Full disclosure — the Huskers always have a place in my heart because they have the best fans anywhere and are approaching 400 straight sellouts at Memorial Stadium. This game is being played in Ireland as a Northwestern home game. It won’t matter. The stands will be a sea of red and it will be a home game for the Huskers. Coach Scott Frost completely overhauled the roster via the transfer portal after losing nine games last year, eight by one score or less. Quarterback Adrian Martinez transferred to K-State and has been replaced by Texas-retread Casey Thompson. With ex-Brown head coach Mark Whipple as their new offensive coordinator, expect some surprises and a Big Red victory. Follow Ken Schreiber's adventures on TikTok at @livewiththeschreib

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Anne Heche will be laid to rest at a storied Los Angeles cemetery alongside many Hollywood luminaries, her family said Tuesday. Heche was cremated and her ashes will be placed in a mausoleum at Hollywood Forever Cemetery at a later date. In a statement to The Associated Press, Heche’s son Homer Laffoon said he and her other son Atlas Tupper “are convinced our Mom would love the site we have chosen for her; it’s beautiful, serene and she will be among her Hollywood peers.” The details were released nearly two weeks after she was declared dead at a hospital from injuries suffered in a fiery car crash. The cemetery has in recent years become a cultural hub for film screenings, musical performances and festivals. Laffoon went to see the band My Morning Jacket there after his mother’s death, with tickets bought before she died. He loved the vibrancy of the location, and took it as a sign that her grave should be there. “Hollywood Forever is a living place,” Laffoon’s statement said. A small private memorial will be held once Heche’s headstone is etched. “She was our Mom, but the kindness and the outpouring of the past few days reminded us that she also belongs to her fans, to the entertainment community, and now, to the ages,” the statement said. Founded in 1899 and located near the Paramount Pictures lot, the cemetery is home to the graves and tombs of actors including Judy Garland and Douglas Fairbanks, and of musicians including Chris Cornell and Johnny Ramone. Heche’s spot in the mausoleum will be in the cemetery’s Garden of Legends is near that of Mickey Rooney, and faces a lake where Burt Reynolds’ remains were recently relocated. Heche, 53, was among the biggest film stars of the late 1990s, starring opposite actors including Johnny Depp and Harrison Ford, and had worked consistently in movies and television for more than three decades. But personal turmoil, which she described in a memoir and interviews, often followed her. On Aug. 5, her car jumped a curb and smashed into a West Los Angeles home. Both the car and the home burst into flames. She was declared brain dead on Aug. 11, and was kept alive on life support for three more days so her organs could be donated. Her death was ruled an accident, and the cause were inhalation injuries and burns, according to the Los Angeles County coroner. ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter @andyjamesdalton ___ This story was first published on August 23, 2022. It was updated on August 24, 2022 to correct that Heche’s remains have not yet been laid to rest.

Edward Buckles, Jr. was 13 when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and completely upended his life. Buckles and his family moved from New Orleans to Lafayette, Louisiana for several months while their hometown began to recover from the catastrophic storm. He told The Associated Press he doesn’t remember much from those months living in Lafayette, grasping for a sense of normalcy in the aftermath of one of the most destructive hurricanes in American history. His community was experiencing so much destruction. Now as an adult, he views that blank spot in his memory as a response to the trauma of what he witnessed. Buckles’ parents asked him at the time if he was okay, but he wasn’t quite able to figure that out for himself in the moment. Later the trauma resurfaced. With kids, he said, “what’s responsible and what’s important is that you set them up to deal with that trauma once it surfaces.” But the filmmaker said in his new documentary “Katrina Babies” that not all the children who were traumatized by living through the hurricane and its aftermath had adults checking in on them. So that’s what he set out to do, capturing several New Orleans residents as they reconcile with a childhood marred by Hurricane Katrina. The documentary, which has garnered critical praise, will be available for streaming on HBO Max on August 24 and debuts on HBO the same day at 9 pm ET, 17 years and a day after the hurricane formed in the Atlantic Ocean. It shows how New Orleans and its people were changed by the storm. It depicts the childhood trauma it caused for a generation coming of age after one of the United States’ first major climate-related disasters. New Orleanians featured in the documentary share stories of seeing dead people and pets, of leaving home and returning to communities destroyed, while they were still children. The film looks at climate past and present and, the filmmakers hope, sounds alarm bells for the climate future. “I hope this is a local and American story that will motivate people to want to do better and care about human beings, and about how intrinsically linked we are with nature and that the future is clear: There is going to be more of this,” said Audrey Rosenberg, lead producer of the film. Buckles said that while Hurricane Katrina might has been a formative experience for him and the youth of New Orleans at the time, more waters have come through since. Though he isn’t a climate scientist, he knows firsthand the repeated damage wrought on his hometown by hurricanes and tropical storms made more intense by climate change. “My grandmother lost her home due to flooding from Hurricane Katrina,” he said. “She has been flooded seven more times just from tropical storms.” Cierra Chenier, 26, was featured in the documentary and also knows people who have had to rebuild multiple times since Hurricane Katrina due to subsequent hurricanes and storms. She said the loss of culture and history in New Orleans due to repeated climate-related disasters like Hurricane Katrina shaped her decision to become a local historian and writer. “I got into wanting to preserve our history because of how quickly I felt my childhood became history,” she said. Even though the storm was 17 years ago, she said, it continues to shape the present. “In preserving our stories, writing about those stories and narrating those stories, it’s always connected to the present and we can form better solutions for the future,” she said. Chenier, Buckles and the other youth affected by Hurricane Katrina have a lot to say about the future, having experienced years of government inaction to limit climate change or prepare and recover from climate disasters. Year after year, New Orleanians and the state and federal government know that hurricane season is going to come and be potentially catastrophic because of climate change, Buckles said. And still, he said, Hurricane Ida, which hit New Orleans 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina, affected people in his community in eerily similar ways to the 2005 storm. The relief measures, he said, were nearly as slow. As a result, people in his community have become more resilient. But he said he wonders whether government agencies are relying on those harmed by climate-related disasters to help themselves when what they really need is public planning and preparation. “The youth are tired of dealing with this, myself included,” he said. “And we cannot forget to hold accountable those who need to be held accountable.” ___ Follow Drew Costley on Twitter: @drewcostley. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding to an increasing number of threats born of conspiracy theories that agents were going to aggressively target middle income taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service announced Tuesday that it was conducting a comprehensive review of safety at its facilities. The climate, healthcare and tax legislation signed into law by President Joe Biden last week included $80 billion in funding for tax collection efforts. Although Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen specifically directed the agency to not focus its attention on taxpayers with middle class incomes, misinformation spread rapidly online that agents were going to crack down on taxpayers of all earnings levels. The baseless assertions also said the IRS would distribute firearms to employees authorized to used deadly force, prompting threats to the IRS employees. Now agency leadership has launched an examination of agency safety. “We are conducting a comprehensive review of existing safety and security measures,” said Chuck Rettig, IRS commissioner about the agency’s 600 office locations nationwide. “This includes conducting risk assessments,” he said, by monitoring perimeter security, designations of restricted areas, exterior lighting, security around entrances of facilities and other measures. “For me this is personal. I’ll continue to make every effort to dispel any lingering misperceptions about our work,” Rettig said in a Tuesday letter to employees. “And I will continue to advocate for your safety in every venue where I have an audience.” Rettig, whose term at the IRS ends in November, is tasked with developing a plan on how to spend the new infusion of funds included in the Inflation Reduction Act. Along with anonymous online forums, high-ranking Republican politicians have spread falsehoods about the IRS workforce and how the newly allocated funds would be spent. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., sent an August 16 open letter to Americans, calling on them not to take any new IRS positions, reinforcing false information about open roles at the agency and their access to firearms. “The IRS is making it very clear that you not only need to be ready to audit and investigate your fellow hardworking Americans, your neighbors and friends, you need to be ready and, to use the IRS’s words, willing, to kill them,” he said in the letter. Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said members have been vocal about their fears and worries about their safety. “IRS employees are certainly very hard working and honest, they do the business of funding the government. They’re saying they don’t deserve to be treated as the enemy of the government,” he said. He added that members who are of retirement age have expressed a greater desire to retire due to the increased attention on their jobs. More than half of the IRS’ enforcement workforce of 80,000 is retirement eligible. Reardon said several workers have talked about being reminded of the 2010 Austin, Texas suicide attack, where Andrew Joseph Stack III deliberately crashed his single engine plane into the Echelon office building, killing himself and Internal Revenue Service manager Vernon Hunter. “The rhetoric we’re hearing now is dangerous” Reardon said. “It’s putting these patriotic Americans at risk.”

Chelsea will face a nightmare run of fixtures in October and the start of November that will make or break their season. The World Cup being in Qatar in the winter this year has thrown the fixture schedule into chaos, with domestic league taking a month-long break between November and December. Not only are there Premier League fixtures to think about, but there are also the European competitions, with the Blues, and everyone else, having to get through the Champions League group stages before the World Cup begins. And the full extent of the fixture nightmare has been laid bare after the Champions League fixtures were announced. Chelsea were drawn in Group G in Thursday's draw in Istanbul, alongside AC Milan, Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb. That means there is only one long trip for Thomas Tuchel's side, which is a blessing considering the number of matches the side will have to play. READ MORE: Chelsea 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage fixtures confirmed The Champions League gets under way in less than two weeks' time, with Chelsea getting that long trip to Croatia out of the way first up. But that in itself causes a problem. That is because the Blues face West Ham in a big London derby live on Sky Sports at 2pm on Sunday, September 4. They then travel to Zagreb for the Champions League clash on Tuesday, September 5 for a 5.45pm kick-off. That is barely 48 hours after the Hammers clash ends. The real nightmare comes in October and the start of November. Chelsea face 11 games in 36 days, with nine matches packed into the October schedule. It is the same for the other big six teams in the Premier League, with Arsenal and Manchester United facing similarly in the Europa League. It is sure to be a key time in the season and one that will make or break clubs' campaigns. October/November schedule: Saturday, October 1 - Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Wednesday, October 5 - AC Milan vs Chelsea Saturday, October 8 - Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Tuesday, October 11 - Chelsea vs AC Milan Sunday, October 16 - Aston Villa vs Chelsea Thursday, October 20 - Brentford vs Chelsea Sunday, October 23 - Chelsea vs Manchester United Tuesday, October 25 - Salzburg vs Chelsea Saturday, October 29 - Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea Wednesday, November 2 - Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb Saturday, November 5 - Chelsea vs Arsenal READ NEXT: Chelsea news and transfers LIVE: All the latest updates and rumours from Stamford Bridge Brendan Rodgers has set Luis Suarez example at Liverpool amid Wesley Fofana to Chelsea saga Koulibaly replacement, difficult Kai Havertz decision – Predicted Chelsea team vs Leicester City Chelsea transfer business under the microscope in 'good deal' or 'bad deal'

Which fishing hat is best? Anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors needs a hat. Baseball caps keep sun out of your eyes but have no protection for your neck, ears or the rest of your face. Bucket hats don’t provide much coverage, and cowboy hats don’t stay on your head when the wind blows. People who fish are at higher risk because they are also exposed to the sun that reflects off the water, doubling their risk of harm from ultraviolet rays. If you’re looking for a fishing hat with a wide brim, vents and moisture-wicking technology, take a look at the Columbia Bora Bora Booney. What to know before you buy a fishing hat The best fishing hat is also a sun hat that not only provides protection from ultraviolet rays that burn your skin but is also comfortable to wear. UVA and UVB rays Sunlight is made up of visible and invisible rays. The ones that are the most damaging are called ultraviolet rays, named for their position on the color spectrum of light. There are two types of ultraviolet rays, named UVA and UVB. - UVA rays penetrate deeply and are most responsible for premature aging and wrinkling of the skin. - UVB rays are responsible for causing sunburn. They also are the rays most responsible for skin cancers, including malignant melanoma. - The UV ray index is a scale you see in detailed weather reports online and on TV. It rates the strength of UV rays, your risk levels, suggested exposure times and precautions you should take. Protection ratings - SPF stands for sun protection factor. It refers to a hat’s ability to prevent your skin from turning red due ultraviolet B radiation. A hat with an SPF rating of 50 means exposed skin can stay in the sun 50 times longer before reddening. - UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor. Where SPF measures your hat’s ability to block ultraviolet B, a hat with UPF protection blocks both UVA and UVB rays. The hat brim Your hat’s brim is your primary defense against the sun. - Width: The wider the brim, the more shade you get. The downside is that the wider the brim, the likelier it is to blow off your head in a stiff breeze. - Coverage: Brims that go all the way around shade the back and sides as well as the front. Baseball hats provide shade only in front and bucket hats have only a narrow brim that provides minimal shade. - Stiffness: Wide brims can be stiff or floppy. Stiff wide brims, like those on a cowboy hat, are unmanageable when the wind gets up. Floppy brims stay on your head, but may disturb you with the way they flap around in a breeze. What to look for in a quality fishing hat Breathability Scientists say most of the heat from our bodies escapes through the top of our heads just as most of a fireplace’s heat goes right up the chimney. When we wear hats, we are capping our chimneys. Look for a fishing hat with vents that let the heat from your head escape. Technology Wicking moisture away produces a cooling effect. Look for a hat with a wicking band that absorbs the moisture from your skin and transfers it to the air, making your head feel cooler. Flaps Some fishing hats are made to provide extreme protection. Be aware that the more of these flaps you have, the more restricted your field of vision. - Rear: These have long flaps that extend from the rear to provide complete protection for the back of your neck. - Side: Some have side flaps to keep the sun off your cheeks and the sides of your neck and face. - Front: A few fishing hats are made with breathable mesh flaps on the front that cover your face. How much you can expect to spend on a fishing hat Most wide-brimmed fishing hats cost from $10-$30, depending on materials and design features. Fishing hat FAQ If I buy a good hat, do I still need sunscreen? A. Yes. Always wear sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, and always remember to reapply it as your perspiration washes it away. What colors are best for fishing hats? A. Light colors reflect the sun’s rays more than dark colors do, deflecting some of the heat and keeping you cooler. But light colors also get dirty quicker, so if you want a hat that won’t show dirt and is easy to keep clean, choose a dark color. What’s the best fishing hat to buy? Top fishing hat What you need to know: Moisture-wicking technology gives you a dry fit that keeps you cool and comfortable. What you’ll love: This breathable, wide-brimmed mesh hat has a tight weave that’s great for yard work as well as fishing.

NEW YORK (AP) — Unlike its cars, Tesla shares are about to get less expensive. Tesla is splitting its stock 3 for 1, so after the close of trading Tuesday, investors will receive two additional Tesla shares for every one they owned as of Aug. 17. In theory, that should drop Tesla’s share price by about two-thirds before trading starts on Wednesday. Stock splits don’t make a company more valuable or more profitable. Tesla joins stock market heavyweights Amazon and Google parent Alphabet in splitting their high-priced shares this year. Even meme-stock darling GameStop has done a stock split. WHY DO A STOCK SPLIT? Stock splits are used by companies when their stock price gets too high for retail investors to buy individual shares, or when a company wants more shares in the marketplace to make them easier to trade. Employees who hold a company’s stock can benefit as well if new investors push the price higher. The lower prices also should make the shares easier to sell. Tesla shares traded for more than $1,000 when the company announced its intention to split the stock in March. That’s a bit steep for most retail investors. Some brokerages let investors buy fractions of a share, but not all. Companies that split their stock tend to outperform the broader market in the three-, six- and 12-month periods following the announcement of a split, according to a BofA Global Research report issued in March. Since 1980, the 12-month performance of companies that split their stock has more than doubled the S&P 500’s. HOW HAS TESLA’S STOCK BEEN DOING? Tesla shares closed at $889.36 Tuesday and are down about 16% for the year. A price around $296, while still not exactly cheap, could entice more investors to buy the stock. Any investor in Tesla is in part making a bet on the company’s mercurial CEO, Elon Musk, who has succeeded in making Tesla the world’s most valuable automaker and himself the world’s richest man, according to Forbes. But the ride can get bumpy with Musk at the wheel. In April, Musk struck a deal to buy the social media platform Twitter. Some Tesla investors sold their shares, worried that Musk would be distracted from running Tesla if the deal went through. The shares fell as low as $620 in late May. Musk has since done an about-face and wants out of the deal. The dispute heads to court in October. Tesla’s stock began to recover in July, boosted by better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and an overall upward trend in the stock market. HAVE OTHER NOTABLE COMPANIES SPLIT THEIR STOCK? Amazon and Alphabet, the parent of Google, each split their stock 20-for-1 in the past few months. Both companies got swept up in a broad rally for big tech stocks after the initial shock of the pandemic and their shares soared north of $2,000. Alphabet shares have risen 2% since its stock split went into effect on July 18 but are still down about 20% for the year. Google had its slowest revenue growth in two years in the second quarter, a sign that the tailwinds propelling big technology companies during the pandemic have shifted into a challenging new direction. Amazon shares have gained almost 9% since the split took effect on June 6, but like Alphabet the company has faced challenges and its stock is down nearly 20% year to date. Consumers have shifted their behavior and are spending more on services and less on goods. Like many companies, Amazon has seen its own costs rise significantly. Even GameStop, the so-called meme stock that rocketed to ridiculous heights last year before falling back to earth somewhat, decided to do a stock split. Although in GameStop’s case it had been retail investors who drove the stock higher in the first place. GameStop shares closed Tuesday at $33.56 and are down about 6% since the split took effect, partially reflecting the drop in the market the past few days.

MADRID (AP) — Iñaki Williams is enjoying yet another season as a starter for Athletic Bilbao. The only debate about his role in Basque Country is whether he should play more up front as a true striker or out on the wing. Williams’ spot with Spain’s national team was never assured, though, so when the call to play for Ghana came, his decision wasn’t that hard to make. Ahead of the World Cup, Ghana aggressively recruited players from abroad with connections to the African nation, and Williams fitted the bill. The 28-year-old Williams was born in Spain to parents who are from Ghana. They moved to Spain several decades ago and, to be able to stay there, were advised by a charity worker to say they had fled a civil war in Liberia. Now, with slim hopes of being called up again by Spain — he made one appearance in a friendly in 2016 — Williams became one of five players to accept a recent invitation to join Ghana’s national team and play at the World Cup. “Even though I was born in Spain, my roots and my blood are African and Ghanese. This is the correct decision,” Williams said. “With my age, at my peak as an athlete, it is the right time to do this. The train will only come by once and I have to take it.” His first appearance for Ghana could come in a friendly match against Brazil on Sept. 23, one of two World Cup warmup matches for the national team that month. Williams said the support he received from his family and others in a recent trip back home helped him make the decision to switch to Ghana. Williams is one of the few Black players to ever play for Athletic, the traditional Spanish club that has an internal code to only sign local-born players or those who have come through the soccer academies of teams in the Basque region. Williams was a member of Spain’s youth squads and played in a friendly against Bosnia in 2016. He had not been called up recently by Luis Enrique and did not appear to be in the coach’s plan for the World Cup. FIFA eligibility rules allow countries to recruit players from their global diaspora if the players meet the conditions related to their nationalities. Players are allowed to switch allegiance to a new national team if they never played a competitive game for the first country they were eligible to represent. Ghana qualified for its fourth World Cup, and first since 2014, by eliminating Nigeria in a two-leg playoff in March. It is in Group H along with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay. WIJNALDUM INJURY Dropped by the Netherlands because of his lack of game time at Paris Saint-Germain last season, Georginio Wijnaldum moved to Roma on loan partly in an attempt to revive his international career ahead of the World Cup. It hasn’t gone to plan. Wijnaldum broke the tibia in his right leg during practice on Sunday and might not be fit in time for the World Cup. He will undergo more tests this week. In the 2020-21 season, Wijnaldum was a star of the Liverpool team and captained the Dutch in the absence of the injured Virgil van Dijk. However, after being continually overlooked in his only season at PSG, Wijnaldum was dropped by Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal for his team’s four matches in June. He has made 86 international appearances, scoring 26 goals. MARTINO’S PROBLEMS Mexico coach Gerardo Martino was heavily criticized for his team´s attacking struggles in the last matches in World Cup qualification. Now, he’ll have to figure out how to improve the offense without one of his top players. Sevilla forward Jesus “Tecatito” Corona broke his left fibula and ruptured ankle ligaments this week and will be out for four to five months, the Spanish club said. That is likely to rule him out of the World Cup, though Jaime Ordiales, the head of Mexico’s national teams, said Corona will be given until the last minute to have him on board for Qatar. “It´s a serious injury,” Ordiales said, “but we have seen some impressive recoveries in the past, so we’re going to wait and hope for the best.” Mexico, which finished second in the CONCACAF qualifiers behind Canada, scored just four goals in its last five qualifying matches. That was with Corona playing alongside Raul Jimenez and Hirving Lozano in Martino´s 4-3-3 formation. Now Martino, who guided Paraguay to the World Cup quarterfinals in 2010, will have to try to awaken his offense without Corona and with Jimenez battling to rediscover his best form after fracturing his skull in 2020. Jimenez came on as a substitute in Wolverhampton’s 1-0 loss to Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday, having missed the start of the season with a knee injury. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — The Melting Pot in Grand Rapids offers what franchise owner Jon Ferguson calls a “celebratory” meal. The restaurant, which also has a location in Troy, serves a fondue-inspired menu, where customers dip meats, breads, veggies and more in pots of melted cheese. There’s also a chocolate fondue dessert, which can be used to dip treats such as cream puffs, macarons, cheesecake, marshmallows, waffles and more. “It’s a little messy — and a lot of fun,” Ferguson said. Customers can just order a cheese fondue, salad or entree, or they can purchase a four-course dinner for two for $85. That includes a cheese fondue, two salads, two entrees — various chicken, beef and seafood options are available ― and a chocolate fondue for dessert. Ferguson said the four course meal is a fun, interactive dining event, which takes about 2.5 hours to finish. “We’ve had people in there for three or four hours they’re having so much fun,” he said. The restaurant’s cheese fondue is available in six flavors: Wisconsin Cheddar, Classic Alpine, Spinach Artichoke, Fiesta, Loaded Baked Potato Cheddar, and French Onion Gruyère. Entrees include Pacific Rim (Shrimp, Teriyaki-Marinated Steak, Chicken Potstickers, Sesame-Crusted Ahi Tuna, Duck Breast, The Garden Pot, Land and Sea, The Classic); Steak Lovers (Premium Filet Mignon, Teriyaki-Marinated Steak, Garlic Pepper Steak); The Classic (Shrimp, Memphis-Style Dry Rub Pork, Teriyaki- Marinated Steak, Garlic Pepper Steak, and Herb-Crusted Chicken Breast). The Melting Pot, which has recently been upgraded with new lighting and interior photos, is open Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and from noon to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

HOUSTON (AP) — Justin Verlander was totally fine leaving with a no-hitter intact after six innings against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. “I like to go deep in games in the regular season, but I’d rather do it in the postseason or at least be fresh and strong for that,” the Houston ace said. Verlander posted his major league-leading 16th win and the Astros beat the Minnesota Tuesday night in Carlos Correa’s return to Houston. Verlander (16-3) allowed just one runner to reach base — Nick Gordon struck out in the second inning on a wild pitch to get aboard. Verlander fanned 10 and lowered his MLB-best ERA to 1.87 in his spectacular return after missing almost two seasons after Tommy John surgery. Manager Dusty Baker said Verlander was on a pitch limit of 90 Tuesday as the Astros transition from a six to five-man rotation. But he still asked Verlander if he wanted to keep going since he hadn’t allowed a hit. “After six innings at … 91 pitches, you know it’s not going to be one of those nights,” Verlander said. “Maybe 15 years ago, 10 years ago when I loved throwing 130-something. But not now and specifically not after Tommy John in my first season back.” The 39-year-old Verlander was pulled after 91 pitches. He is the only active player to have thrown three no-hitters — in May, he lost a no-hit try against the Twins in the eighth inning at Target Field. Ryne Stanek relieved to begin the seventh and Correa led off with Minnesota’s first hit. “I didn’t want to get no-hit on the first game back, so I had to drop that one in there,” Correa said. Alex Bregman’s homer helped the AL West-leading Astros build a 4-0 lead. The Twins scored twice in the ninth and had the bases loaded before Bryan Abreu struck out Jake Cave to end it. The Twins lost their fourth straight in a night of struggles at the plate that came after they placed All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton on the injured list with a hip strain. Until their late rally, the most noise Minnesota made came when manager Rocco Baldelli was ejected during an animated argument. Correa, making his first visit to Houston after leaving the Astros to sign with the Twins this offseason, received a huge ovation when honored during a pregame ceremony where he was presented with his AL Championship ring. The crowd reaction was also huge in his first at-bat in the first inning and the star shortstop tipped his batting helmet to the adoring fans before stepping in the box. The reaction wasn’t nearly as warm when he broke up the Astros’ combined no-hit bid with a liner to center field that a diving Mauricio Dubón couldn’t corral. That was the only hit for Correa, who was selected first overall by the Astros in 2012 and spent his first seven seasons in Houston. Jose Miranda hit an RBI single with one out in the Twins ninth. There were two outs when Max Kepler’s run-scoring single cut the lead to 4-2 and chased Hector Neris. He was replaced by Abreu, who walked Gio Urshela to load the bases but fanned Cave for his second save. Dubón gave Houston the lead with an RBI single in the second inning and Trey Mancini made it 2-0 with his run-scoring double in the fourth. Bregman’s 18th homer this season was a two-run shot in the seventh. Yordan Alvarez added a single for the Astros on a night his family from Cuba got to see him play professionally for the first time. Father Agustín Eduardo Álvarez Salazar, mother Mailyn Cadogan Reyes and brother Yonder Alvarez Cadogan — each decked out in his jersey — gazed wide-eyed at the field as they watched him step to the plate. “This is one of my biggest moments in my entire life,” his father told The Associated Press in Spanish through a translator. “And I could be able to say so many words, but the truth is that there are no words to express what I’m feeling right now.” Alvarez was moved to know how special it was for his parents to finally see him play after being away from them for so long. “It means everything,” he said in Spanish through a translator. “Obviously, when I came into the United States it was not easy. And when I arrived here, I arrived by myself. I knew I had their support, but obviously they weren’t here.” Things got testy in the fifth when Twins starter Aaron Sanchez (0-1) plunked Jose Altuve on the left thigh. There was some jawing between Altuve and Sanchez and benches cleared, but there wasn’t any pushing or shoving. Order was soon restored, but after Yuli Gurriel walked on four pitches, Baldelli came out of the dugout yelling at the umpires. He was soon ejected by first base umpire Todd Tichenor, but that didn’t stop him from screaming and gesturing wildly for a couple more minutes before leaving the field. Baldelli said he was upset because believes he was charged with a visit to the mound when he went to try and calm down Sanchez and wasn’t properly informed of it. “At the bare minimum I think there’s probably it’s necessary for someone to come over and let us know that a visit was given,” he said. “So that’s it. I disagreed and I disagreed on multiple levels.” Tichenor said Baldelli should have known that he had been charged with a visit. “The mound visit constitutes the manager going on top of the mound and talking to the pitcher, that’s a visit. Or a coach,” Tichenor said. “That’s a visit.” Sanchez, who was the starter in a combined no-hitter for the Astros in 2019 against Seattle, yielded six hits and two runs in four-plus innings after being called up from Triple-A Tuesday. TRAINER’S ROOM Twins: OF Kyle Garlick (bruised rib cage) is scheduled to begin a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A St. Paul Wednesday. He is set to be the team’s designated hitter Wednesday before playing in the outfield Thursday. MOVING UP Verlander’s big night moved him past Pedro Martinez (3,154) and Max Scherzer (3,157) and into 13th place on the all-time strikeout list with 3,161. UVALDE STRONG Mayah Zamora, who spent 66 days in the hospital as a victim of the Uvalde elementary school shooting, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Zamora got to meet Correa before the game, and his foundation along with several other charities worked together to find alternative lodging for her family while they build them a new home. The foundation began work to get Zamora a new home after she learned that the shooter, who wounded her and killed 19 students and two teachers, lived just blocks from her home where she was too upset to return to after leaving the hospital. UP NEXT Houston’s Framber Valdez (12-4, 2.72) opposes Dylan Bundy (7-5, 4.60) when the series continues Wednesday night. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

When San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy receives his prestigious red hat at the Vatican on Saturday, he will bring to the College of Cardinals a fervent loyalty to Pope Francis that has often put him at odds with the conservative majority in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. McElroy, 68, is the only American among the 21 clerics being installed as cardinals by Francis in a ceremony at St. Peter’s Basilica. He was chosen over numerous higher-ranking American archbishops, including two from his home state — outspoken conservative Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco and José Gomez of Los Angeles, the president of the U.S. bishops conference. McElroy has been among the few American bishops who questioned why the conference insists on identifying abortion as its “preeminent” priority. Echoing the pope’s concerns, he has questioned why greater prominence is not given to issues such as poverty, immigration and climate change. “The death toll from abortion is more immediate, but the long-term death toll from unchecked climate change is larger and threatens the very future of humanity,” McElroy said in 2020. The Rev. James Martin, editor-at-large of the Jesuit magazine America, described McElroy as “one of the foremost articulators in the United States not only of Pope Francis’ vision but also the vision of the Second Vatican Council and, more basically, the vision of the Gospel.” “He has been the special champion of people on the margins, both in society and in the church,” Martin said via email. “It’s not surprising that the Holy Father would have singled him out for this honor and that he would want the future Cardinal McElroy present in the conclave that will elect the next pope.” Chad Pecknold, a theology professor at The Catholic University of America who has been critical of many Vatican decisions under Francis’ papacy, said McElroy “often speaks from the ideological margins” and thus would be seen, in this papacy, as an appropriate candidate to be a cardinal. “But mostly, his elevation reminds me that more senior and substantial prelates like Archbishop Cordileone and Archbishop Gomez have, once again, been very deliberately passed over,” Pecknold said in an email. Among his notable stances, McElroy has been one of a minority of U.S. bishops denouncing the campaign to exclude Catholic politicians who support abortion rights from Communion. “It will bring tremendously destructive consequences,” McElroy wrote last year. “The Eucharist is being weaponized and deployed as a tool in political warfare. This must not happen.” Cordileone, in contrast, said earlier this year that he would no longer allow House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to receive Communion because of her support for abortion rights. Last year McElroy was among a small group of bishops signing a statement expressing support for LGBTQ youth and denouncing the bullying often directed at them. The bishops said LGBTQ youth attempt suicide at much higher rates, are often homeless because of families who reject them and “are the target of violent acts at alarming rates.” “We stand with you and oppose any form of violence, bullying or harassment directed at you,” the statement read. “Most of all, know that God created you, God loves you and God is on your side.” McElroy received a bachelor’s degree in history from Harvard in 1975 and a master’s in history from Stanford in 1976. He studied at St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, California, and in 1985 received a theology degree at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley. He obtained a doctorate in moral theology at the Gregorian University in Rome the following year and a doctorate in political science at Stanford in 1989. He was ordained in 1980 and assigned to the Archdiocese of San Francisco, where he served in a parish before becoming personal secretary to Archbishop John Quinn. Other California parish assignments included Redwood City and San Mateo. He became an auxiliary bishop in San Francisco in 2010. In 2015, early in Francis’ pontificate, he was named bishop of San Diego. For the past three years, he has served as president of the California bishops conference. Monsignor Stephen Doktorczyk, vicar-general for the Diocese of Orange, said McElroy’s leadership skills have been impressive. “One thing I respect about him is that while he is confident in the positions he takes, he truly is open to hearing the take of others and engaging in a dialogue with those who have different points of view,” Doktorczyk said. Allan Figueroa Deck, a distinguished scholar of pastoral theology at Loyola Marymount University, said McElroy’s elevation represents a “clear message” from the pope about the direction the church should move in. McElroy “understands and takes seriously what Pope Francis means by ‘epochal change’ and the challenge of finding better models, a more effective and inclusive style for the Church to proceed,” Deck said via email. “He approaches hot-button issues like the pastoral care of LGBTQ persons and the abortion issue with balance and prudence.” Conservative Catholic activist Michael Hichborn of the Lepanto Institute has been a frequent critic of McElroy, for example condemning his strong support for the Association of United States Catholic Priests. The association is a relatively liberal group whose priorities include expanding the role of women in church leadership and creating “priestless parishes” that potentially could be overseen by laypeople as a way of countering the shortage of priests. McElroy’s elevation “is a sign of Pope Francis’ desire to marry the Church with the world,” Hichborn said via email. “There can be little doubt that McElroy currently stands as the model for the kind of priest, bishop, and cardinal Pope Francis desires for the future of the Church.” The Diocese of San Diego runs the length of California’s border with Mexico and serves more than 1.3 million Catholics in San Diego and Imperial counties. It includes 98 parishes, 49 elementary and secondary schools and, through Catholic Charities of the Diocese of San Diego, various social service and family support organizations. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

NIKOPOL, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has already killed some 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers since it began nearly six months ago, a general said, and the fighting Monday showed no signs that the war is abating. At a veteran’s event, Ukraine’s military chief, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said many of Ukraine’s children need to be taken care of because “their father went to the front line and, perhaps, is one of those almost 9,000 heroes who died.” In Nikopol, across the river from Ukraine’s main nuclear power plant, Russian shelling wounded four people Monday, an official said. The city on the Dnieper River has faced relentless pounding since July 12 that has damaged 850 buildings and sent about half its population of 100,000 fleeing. “I feel hate towards Russians,” said 74-year-old Liudmyla Shyshkina, standing on the edge of her destroyed fourth-floor apartment in Nikopol that no longer has walls. She is still injured from the Aug. 10 blast that killed her 81-year-old husband, Anatoliy. “The Second World War didn’t take away my father, but the Russian war did,” noted Pavlo Shyshkin, his son. The U.N. says 5,587 civilians have been killed and 7,890 wounded in the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began on Feb. 24, although the estimate is likely an undercount. The U.N. children’s agency said Monday that at least 972 Ukrainian children have been killed or injured since Russia invaded. UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said these are U.N.-verified figures but “we believe the number to be much higher.” U.S. President Joe Biden and the leaders of Britain, France and Germany pleaded Sunday for Russia to end military operations so close to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant — Europe’s largest — but Nikopol came under fire three times overnight from rockets and mortar shells. Houses, a kindergarten, a bus station and stores were hit, authorities said. There are widespread fears that continued shelling and fighting in the area could lead to a nuclear catastrophe. Russia has asked for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday to discuss the situation — a move “the audacity” of which Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy decried in his evening video address. “The total number of different Russian cruise missiles that Russia used against us is approaching 3,500. It is simply impossible to count the strikes of Russian artillery; there are so many of them, and they are so intense,” Zelensky said Monday. Western nations had already scheduled a council meeting on Wednesday — the six-month anniversary of the Russian invasion — on its impact on Ukraine. Vladimir Rogov, an official with the Russia-installed administration of the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, claimed that because of shelling from Ukraine, staffing at the nuclear plant had been cut sharply. Ukrainians say Russia is storing weapons at the plant and has blocked off areas to Ukrainian nuclear workers. Monday’s announcement of the scope of Ukraine’s military dead stands in sharp contrast to Russia’s military, which last gave an update on March 25 when it said 1,351 Russian troops were killed during the first month of fighting. U.S. military officials estimated two weeks ago that Russia has lost between 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, both killed and wounded in action. On Monday though, Moscow turned its attention to one specific civilian death. Russia blamed Ukrainian spy agencies for the weekend car bombing on the outskirts of Moscow that killed the daughter of a far-right Russian nationalist who ardently supports the invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s Federal Security Service, the main successor to the KGB, said Monday the killing was “prepared and perpetrated by the Ukrainian special services.” It charged that the bombing that killed 29-year-old TV commentator Darya Dugina, whose father, political theorist Alexander Dugin, is often referred to as “Putin’s brain,” was carried out by a Ukrainian citizen who left Russia for Estonia quickly afterward. Ukrainian officials have vehemently denied any involvement in the car bombing. Estonian officials say Russia has not asked them to look for the alleged bomber or even spoken to them about the bombing. On the front lines, the Ukraine military said it carried out a strike on a key bridge over the Dnieper River in the Russian-occupied Kherson region. Local Russia-installed officials said the strike killed two people Monday and wounded 16 others. Photos on social media showed thick plumes of smoke rising over the Antonivskiy Bridge, an important supply route for the Russian military in Kherson. On the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, anxiety has been spreading following a spate of fires and explosions at Russian facilities over the past two weeks. The Russian-backed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, ordered that signs showing the location of bomb shelters be placed in the city, which had long seemed untouchable. Razvozhaev said on Telegram the city is well-protected but “it is better to know where the shelters are.” Sevastopol, the Crimean port that is the home of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, has seen a series of drone attacks. A drone exploded at the fleet’s headquarters on July 31, and another was shot down over it last week. Authorities said air-defense systems have shot down other drones as well. On Monday evening, Sevastopol residents reported hearing loud explosions on social media. Razvozhaev said the air-defense system had shot down “an object … at high altitude.” “Preliminary (conclusion) is that it is, again, a drone,” he wrote on Telegram. Russian President Vladimir Putin didn’t directly mention the war during a speech Monday marking National Flag Day but echoed some of the justifications cited for the invasion. “We are firm in pursuing in the international arena only those policies that meet the fundamental interests of the motherland,” Putin said. He maintains that Russia sent troops into Ukraine to protect its people against the encroaching West. ___ Follow the AP’s coverage of the war at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine

Which Under Armour hat is best? Under Armour offers an array of hats for adults and children in different styles and colors, though the classic baseball cap is perhaps the best known. All Under Armour hats are designed for athletic use, providing a comfortable fit for outdoor sports and activities. The Under Armour Men’s Launch Run Hat is a practical, breathable hat that stays comfortable in all kinds of weather. What to know before you buy an Under Armour hat How it’s made Most Under Armour hats feature a threaded logo or design on the exterior. They are made from polyester or acrylic. Polyester is durable, breathable and abrasion-resistant, while acrylic is better insulated for cold weather use. Polyester is best for maintaining a distinct shape, while acrylic pairs well with elastic components. Select Under Armour hats have a feature called Armour Vent, which includes foam-filled panels designed by Under Armour for better airflow. These panels help you stay cool and dry even as you engage in physical activity. Types of hats Under Armour sells four hat styles, though its widest selection focuses on baseball caps. - Baseball caps have a soft rounded exterior that covers the top of the head with a curved visor to protect you from sun glare. While “baseball” is in the name, this style is also popular with golfers and joggers. - Knit beanies fit snugly on the head and are designed to keep you warm in chilly weather. Made from an elastic material for a secure yet comfortable fit, they are ideal for skiing and snowboarding. - Visors are similar to baseball caps but have no top-of-head coverage, fitting around the head like a headband while providing sun glare protection. Visors are more breathable overall, but expose the top of your head to the sun. They are frequently seen on the tennis court. - Bucket hats are loose fabric hats with narrow brims that slope down around the face. Unlike with baseball caps and visors, the sun-shading rim goes all the way around the hat. They are the preferred hats in the fishing community and among those who spend a lot of time out by the water. Size Most men’s and women’s hats are available in small/medium, medium/large and large/extra-large sizes. The only significant difference between men’s and women’s hats is sizing, so size up or down according depending on the circumference of your head. Youth hats are available in small/medium and medium/large. What to look for in a quality Under Armour hat Adjustability When it comes to athletic wear, adjustability is key to comfort and ease of use. While not all Under Armour hats are adjustable, plenty of the baseball caps and visors use webbed or hook and loop closure for adjusting the size. Bucket hats feature an interior cord you pull to to tighten the fit. Sweatband A great sweatband is smooth and comfortable against your forehead. It keeps sweat from dripping down your face but also dries quickly so your head isn’t damp all day. Under Armour sweatbands have some stretch to them and are soft to the touch. Room for hair If you have longer hair, a space in the back through which a ponytail can be slipped is important. This lets you tie your hair back without the hat pressing down on the bump produced by the hair tie. How much you can expect to spend on an Under Armour hat They cost $12-$30 with the average price landing between $20-$25. Under Armour hat FAQ Does Under Armour run true to size? A. Some Under Armour apparel and accessories run a little small, so keep this in mind when looking at hats. This applies to both one-size hats and hats that come in different sizes. Are the hats machine-washable? A. Most Under Armour baseball caps and knit caps are machine-washable, but always double-check by looking at the tag. Even machine-washable hats should not go in the dryer, which can adversely affect shape or elasticity. Are they made in the United States? A. Under Armour products are made by manufacturers in 18 countries, including Vietnam, Jordan, Malaysia and China. What’s the best Under Armour hat to buy?

FBI: Trump mixed top secret docs with magazines, other items WASHINGTON (AP) — Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate early this year contained classified documents, many of them top secret, mixed in with miscellaneous newspapers, magazines and personal correspondence. That's according to an FBI affidavit released Friday explaining the justification for this month's search of the property. The affidavit, even in its redacted form, offers the most detailed description to date of the government records being stored at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property long after he left the White House. It also reveals the gravity of the government’s concerns that the documents were there illegally. Takeaways from the unsealed Mar-a-Lago search affidavit WASHINGTON (AP) — While the FBI affidavit justifying the search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate is highly redacted, it includes new details about the classified information that was stored at the former president's home. Among the top takeaways revealed by the document is that Trump had “a lot” of classified records stored at his club, which had not been authorized for the storage of such information. The document reveals that the records included top intelligence secrets and some were mixed with other papers, magazines and photos. The redacted affidavit also shows that Trump had repeated opportunities to return the documents.

She blew away the elders’ alternative and, in a close general election loss, established herself as de facto party boss in a newfound battleground. That presaged 2020, when Joe Biden put Georgia in Democrats’ presidential column for the first time in 28 years, while Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff captured two Senate seats in 2021 to give Democrats control on Capitol Hill. This year, Abrams and Warnock top the Democratic ticket as the party tries to replicate its success in a tough midterm election landscape. GOP, Dems seek political boost from student loan debt plan COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — To Democrats championing the White House’s student loan forgiveness plan, it was the long-awaited delivery of one of President Joe Biden’s campaign promises. To Republicans — and even some in the president’s own party — it was an ill-advised move that was unfair to those who had diligently paid back their loans or decided not to go to college. In the student debt relief plan, both parties see an opportunity to boost their own political message ahead of the critical November midterm elections. While Democrats contended that the loan forgiveness would provide a lifeline for struggling working-class families, Republicans charged that it’s a giveaway to the “elites.” Ukraine: Russia fires on cities not far from nuclear plant KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian authorities say Russian forces fired missiles and artillery on two cities across the river from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. Concerns persist about safety at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after it was temporarily knocked offline on Thursday. The governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region said Saturday that Grad missiles and artillery shells hit the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets, each located about 10 kilometers from the nuclear plant. Russia and Ukraine have repeatedly accused the other of shelling the plant complex, raising fears that the fighting could trigger a catastrophe. Authorities began distributing iodine tablets Friday to residents who live near the plant in case of a radiation leak. Trump election probe in Georgia cites voting system breach ATLANTA (AP) — The prosecutor investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 election in Georgia is seeking information about a breach of voting equipment in a county roughly 200 miles south of her Atlanta office. The widening of the probe highlights the latest case in which unauthorized people appear to have gained access to voting equipment since the 2020 election, primarily in battleground states lost by Trump. Election experts have raised concerns that sensitive information shared online about the equipment may have exposed vulnerabilities that could be exploited by people intent on disrupting future elections. Louisiana woman denied abortion wants 'vague' ban clarified BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A pregnant Louisiana woman who was denied an abortion even though her fetus has a rare and fatal condition is asking Gov. John Bel Edwards to call a special session of the legislature to clarify the state’s abortion law. Nancy Davis said at a Friday news conference that she will travel out of the state next week for a “medically necessary” abortion. Davis is 15 weeks pregnant. Louisiana state law bans all abortions except if there is substantial risk of death or impairment to a woman if she continues her pregnancy and in the case of “medically futile” pregnancies. Legislators say Davis qualifies for an abortion and that a hospital misinterpreted the law. Official: 6 of 43 missing Mexican students given to army MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican official says six of the 43 college students “disappeared” in 2014 were allegedly kept alive in a warehouse for days then turned over to the local army commander who ordered them killed. Interior Undersecretary Alejandro Encinas’ surprise comment Friday directly tied the military to one of Mexico’s worst human rights scandals. And it came with little fanfare as he made a lengthy defense of the commission’s report released a week earlier. At that time, Encinas declared the abductions and disappearances a “state crime” and said the army watched it happen without intervening, but he made no mention of six students being turned over to Col. José Rodríguez Pérez. Mexico's defense department has not commented on the allegation. Mississippi residents prepare for possible river flooding JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — People in and around Mississippi's capital city are being told to prepare for flooding of the Pearl River. Storms dropped heavy rains in Mississippi and other parts of the Deep South. Some homes and businesses in the Jackson area are expected to flood. Experts say the Pearl River could crest on Tuesday at levels almost as high as during a 2020 flood. Suzannah Thames of Jackson hired a crew to move furniture, appliances and other belongings out of a rental home she owns. She said Friday that the home was filled with dirty, snake-infested water in 2020. Tunisia hosts Japanese-African economic cooperation meeting TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — African heads of state, representatives of international organizations and private business leaders are in Tunisia for the eighth iteration of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development. The Japanese government created the triennial event in 1993 to promote growth and security in Africa. Economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, a food security crisis worsened by Russia’s war in Ukraine, and climate change are some of the topics expected to define the two-day conference starting Saturday. While 30 African heads of state and government planned to attend the event, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is attending remotely. He tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the summit.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Germany’s foreign minister said Friday that estimates show the Baltic Sea can produce wind power that is “more than twice the installed capacity of all German coal-fired power stations” as the country works to meet climate change targets and wean itself off of Russian energy. In a video message ahead of a meeting in Denmark’s capital, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Germany wants to hasten the expansion of wind power produced in the Baltic Sea. The countries around the Baltic Sea “need to set the sails, work together and set course towards making our region more sustainable, more resilient and more secure,” Baerbock said. German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz has said Germany remains committed to ending its greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, the earliest of any major industrialized nation. To meet the goal, his government has said it would close coal-fired power plants that were reactivated during the war in Ukraine, end imports of Russian oil and coal this year and aim to stop using Russian gas within the next two years. The potential for the Baltic Sea “is enormous,” Baerbock said. “The European Commission estimates that the Baltic Sea could potentially produce more than 90 gigawatts in wind energy. That is more than twice the installed capacity of all German coal-fired power stations.” “Wind energy from the Baltic Sea will help us fight the climate crisis. And it is an investment in our security: it will help make us less dependent on gas from Russia,” Baerbock said. On July 1, Germany took over the presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States for one year. The forum for regional cooperation consists of the European Union and 10 member nations: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland and Sweden. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the council suspended Russia from its activities. Moscow later said it had decided to withdraw from the council, saying the organization was turning into “an anti-Russian tool.” In Copenhagen, Baerbock and Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod signed a plan for closer cooperation between their countries, which includes a plan “to dramatically scale up offshore wind capacity in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.” Denmark is holding a meeting next week on the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm to discuss ways “to make the Baltic Sea region free of Russian energy and at the same time pave the way for a significant green transition.” Those expected to attend include the EU commission president, Lithuania’s president, the prime ministers of Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Denmark and several energy ministers. Speaking alongside Kofod after their meeting, Baerbock said it was important for European countries to show solidarity in the coming months, given Russia’s attempts to use energy supplies “as a weapon of war” and divide the 27-nation bloc. Germany is studying what impact low water levels on its rivers after months of drought and high electricity demand from neighboring France due to the shutdown of nuclear plants there will have on energy markets over the coming months. Baerbock, a member of the Greens party, said she was skeptical of the idea that extending the operating life of Germany’s three remaining atomic power plants would help tackle an expected gas shortage, but acknowledged that this might ease electricity bottlenecks. “One needs to look at everything in the European context,” she said. ___ Frank Jordans in Berlin contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the climate and environment at https://apnews.com/hub/climate-and-environment and of the war in Ukraine at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine

MOSCOW (AP) — The 44th Moscow International Film Festival opened Friday with reduced foreign representation amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Festival head Nikita Mikhalkov, the Academy Award-winning director of “Burnt By The Sun,” brushed that off, saying “It makes no difference how big are the stars that come. I’m interested in people who come, because they are interested in meeting us.” Mikhalkov also praised Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. “These days, the heroes are in Donbas,” he said, referring to eastern Ukraine’s industrial heartland, two regions that Russia recognized as sovereign this year after Russia-backed separatists began fighting the Ukrainian government there in 2014. “That is where the new elite and the new heroes are being born. Actually, a new world and a new society are being born there. The problem is that unfortunately not everybody understands that this is serious and it’s here to stay,” he said. The festival opened with the premiere of a widely anticipated Russian historical epic: “Land of Legends,” directed by Anton Megerdichev.

SEATTLE (AP) — Sue Bird’s eye for the court and knowledge of the game is what separates her among WNBA point guards, much to the frustration of her opponents for the past two decades. Washington Mystics coach Mike Thibault has watched Bird up close for his entire career in the WNBA. He saw Bird, the league’s all-time assist leader, put on a vintage performance as the Storm eliminated the Mystics from the WNBA Playoffs. “As much as I love Sue, I will be glad that she’s sitting over in the stands next year when we walk in this place,” said Thibault, the league’s all-time leader in coaching victories. Teammates and opponents point to Bird’s mind as her strength. She’s always analyzing, thinking several steps ahead. At 41, Bird has decided this is her last season. But first, she’s aiming for her fifth WNBA title with the Storm, where she’s spent her entire career. Bird’s skill as a coach on the court will be tested when Seattle’s best-of-five semifinal against Las Vegas starts on Sunday. Las Vegas was the best team in the league during the regular season and has become a nemesis for Bird, Breanna Stewart and the rest of the Storm. “We have our work cut out for us,” Bird said. “They just present a lot of problems.” The Aces won three of four matchups this season — including two in the final week — and have won five of the past six dating back to last season. Seattle beat Las Vegas for its last title in 2020 in the WNBA bubble in Florida. If the Storm are to send Bird out on top, they must find a way to solve the Aces. Thibault and other coaches in the league know the most successful point guards have incredible vision. It’s how they view the game before taking the court and while its playing out. There are few that fit the description of “floor general” to the level of Bird. “We talk all the time about coaches on the floor. But there really aren’t that many to be honest with you,” Thibault said. “But she is one of them because she has an innate sense of feeling the game. Like ‘OK, we’ve come down and this isn’t working, but this did.’ She can literally tell a player, ‘Go there because I know they’re going to do this.’ She has a feel and she studies the game.” Mystics star Elena Delle Donne was ousted from the playoffs by the Storm and Bird, who scored a season-high 18 points and dished 10 assists in the 97-84 win on Sunday. In the times the duo overlapped playing internationally for the United States, she got a first-hand education. “I’ve never felt so ready for games because of the way she was able to break things down and also simplify the game and teach it,” Delle Donne said. “It’s why Sue’s teams win. I think there’s things we can learn from Sue. It’s why she’s been so successful. It’s why all of her teams are so prepared.” Delle Donne suggested coaching as a next step for Bird once she’s done playing. She’s not alone. Seattle coach Noelle Quinn has seen the depth of Bird’s court vision from a unique perspective. She saw it for three seasons as a teammate, the last of which ended with the third of Bird’s four WNBA titles in 2018. She’s witnessed it the past two seasons as Bird’s coach. “Something about these moments that made me understand why she is so great. You see her just kick a different gear mentally and physically,” Quinn said. “I’ve seen it time and time again and it always still impresses me just how she’s able to just lock in and excel in those moments.” ___ More WNBA playoffs: https://apnews.com/hub/wnba-playoffs and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

A maternity belt can’t eliminate all the pain and discomfort, but it can provide enough support to make a noticeable difference in your daily life. The best maternity belt is the Belly Bandit Upsie Belly Pregnancy Support Band. It’s soft and provides support to the back, hips and abdomen. What to know before you buy a maternity belt Maternity belt types Maternity belts come in three types. - Single-strap belts are the most common. They’re just one band that wraps around the lower back and below the abdomen. - Multi-strap belts offer more support than single-strap ones. They still wrap around the lower back and below the abdomen, but they have an extra strap that goes on top of the abdomen for said extra support. - Prenatal cradle belts also have the same band that wraps around the lower body, but their extra support comes from suspenders that get your shoulders to take on some of the strain. Size Most maternity belts come in various sizes, so you can get one that fits you perfectly. Others are one-size-fits-all, though you likely won’t get the same quality of support from these options. Color Maternity belts usually come in black, white or tan, though other colors are possible. Black is the easiest to pair with your clothes and the easiest to clean, while white and tan are less noticeable, making them better for wearing underneath clothing. What to look for in a quality maternity belt Machine-washable Maternity belts aren’t hard to wash by hand, but it’s always easier to toss them in your washing machine. However, not all belts are machine-washable. Double-check the product description before buying one to ensure you won’t need to wash it by hand. Adjustability Most maternity belts use one hook-and-loop strap so you can tweak the fit as your pregnancy progresses. The best belts use two or three straps in different areas, giving you a much wider range of adjustability. Elastic Most maternity belts use elastic so they can better conform to your body. Basic belts only have one elastic panel, while better belts have multiple. Padding If you want to wear your maternity belt against your skin, make sure the one you buy has padding. Padding is especially beneficial to those with sensitive skin. Back brace Some maternity belts have a built-in back brace to increase their back support. These are a must-buy for those who struggled with back pain before becoming pregnant. How much you can expect to spend on a maternity belt Basic maternity belts typically cost $20-$30, while most cost $40-$50. More complex belts can cost as much as $70 or more. Maternity belt FAQ Is there a difference between a maternity belt and a maternity band? A. Yes, though the terms are often used interchangeably. Maternity belts are designed to provide as much support as possible and tend to be larger and bulkier. Maternity bands are thin and are mostly used to hide your belly if your clothes aren’t able to cover it fully, but some also offer a little support. Are you supposed to wear a maternity belt below or on top of your clothes? A. You can usually wear it either way. However, some belts are too bulky to be worn comfortably below your clothes. Can I go to the bathroom with a maternity belt on? A. That depends on the belt, but most should let you use the bathroom without issue. Belts that can’t be left on while using the bathroom are usually designed to be quick and easy to take off and put back on, so there’s no need to worry. What’s the best maternity belt to buy?

A 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has been independently dyno-tested for the first time. The test, which proved challenging to conduct, showed that Ford’s all-electric pickup truck comes close to its factory-rated output. An extended-range model was used in the test, which was conducted by the Texas Truck Show with assistance from dyno manufacturer Dynocom. Ford rates that version at 580 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque, and the dyno showed 565 hp and 784 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. That represents a 3% loss in horsepower from the motors to the wheels, but slightly more torque than the published specs. Just getting that result was difficult, Brian Raupe, host of the Texas Truck Show, explained in an email to Motor Authority. At 145.5 inches at the hub centers, the Lightning’s wheelbase exceeded the limits of most all-wheel-drive dynos testers had access to. These tend to be used for smaller sports cars and max out at a 125-inch wheelbase. With performance trucks, the solution would typically be to run in rear-wheel drive on just one set of rollers. But that wasn’t an option with the dual-motor Lightning. Dynocom ended up modifying one of its DC-6000 dynos to accommodate the Lightning’s longer wheelbase. The DC-6000 uses a gearbox to synchronize the two rollers. That’s more accurate than typical belt systems, which are prone to stretching, Raupe noted. Dyno tests also typically rely on engine speed, but that’s not a relevant figure for EVs because of their instant torque. Dynocom measured wheel speed instead. A final drive ratio is also needed for calculations, but Ford doesn’t publish one for the Lightning. Using wheel speed and tire height, testers estimated a final drive of 2:1 for each of the Lightning’s motors. Finally, the Lightning initially cut power down to less than 200 hp around 70 mph, then would ramp back up to full power on the way to an indicated 107-mph top speed. This was due to excessive acceleration without real-world weight and wind resistance, Raupe said. Basically, the truck thought it something was wrong and limited power. The workaround was using software to apply added resistance to the dyno rollers, simulating real-world conditions.

MOSCOW (AP) — The 44th Moscow International Film Festival opened Friday with reduced foreign representation amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Festival head Nikita Mikhalkov, the Academy Award-winning director of “Burnt By The Sun,” brushed that off, saying “It makes no difference how big are the stars that come. I’m interested in people who come, because they are interested in meeting us.” Mikhalkov also praised Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. “These days, the heroes are in Donbas,” he said, referring to eastern Ukraine’s industrial heartland, two regions that Russia recognized as sovereign this year after Russia-backed separatists began fighting the Ukrainian government there in 2014. “That is where the new elite and the new heroes are being born. Actually, a new world and a new society are being born there. The problem is that unfortunately not everybody understands that this is serious and it’s here to stay,” he said. The festival opened with the premiere of a widely anticipated Russian historical epic: “Land of Legends,” directed by Anton Megerdichev.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An autopsy report in the death of country singer Naomi Judd that was obtained Friday by The Associated Press confirmed what family members have already said about how she died. Judd, 76, killed herself with a gun on April 30 at her home in Tennessee. “We have always shared openly both the joys of being family as well its sorrows, too. One part of our story is that our matriarch was dogged by an unfair foe,” a statement from the family released on Friday read. “She was treated for PTSD and bipolar disorder, to which millions of Americans can relate.” The autopsy, which is considered a public record in Tennessee, showed several prescription drugs in Judd’s system that are used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder. Naomi and her daughter Wynonna Judd scored 14 No. 1 songs in a career that spanned nearly three decades. Naomi Judd died the day before she and Wynonna were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The family has asked for privacy as they mourn and encouraged anyone in a similar crisis to seek help. The national suicide and crisis lifeline is available by calling or texting 988. There is also an online chat at 988lifeline.org.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation eased last month as energy prices tumbled, raising hopes that the surging costs of everything from gasoline to food may have peaked. According to a Commerce Department report Friday that is closely watched by the Federal Reserve, consumer prices rose 6.3% in July from a year earlier after posting an annual increase of 6.8% in June, the biggest jump since 1982. Energy prices made the difference in July: They dropped last month after surging in June. Yet on the same day at the Federal Reserve’s annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Chair Jerome Powell delivered a stark message: The Fed will likely impose more large interest rate hikes in coming months and is resolutely focused on taming inflation. There was hope that the Fed might signal a moderation in rate increases if inflation were to show further signs of easing. So-called core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 4.6% last month from a year earlier after rising 4.8% in June. The drop — along with a reduction in the Labor Department’s consumer price index last month — suggests that inflationary pressures may be easing. On a monthly basis, consumer prices actually fell 0.1% from June to July; core inflation blipped up 0.1%, the Commerce Department reported. And the Fed appears ready to continue efforts to ensure prices are moving in the right direction. Inflation started rising sharply in the spring of 2021 as the economy rebounded with surprising speed from the short but devastating coronavirus recession a year earlier. Surging customer orders overwhelmed factories, ports and freight yards, leading to delays, shortages and higher prices. Inflation is a worldwide problem, especially since the Russian invasion of Ukraine drove up global food and energy prices. On Friday, regulators in the U.K. said that residents will see an 80% increase in their annual household energy bills. In the United States, the Commerce Department’s personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index is less well known than the Labor Department’s consumer price index (CPI). But the Fed prefers the PCE index as a gauge of inflationary pressures, partly because the Commerce index attempts to measure how consumers adjust to rising prices by, for example, substituting cheaper store brands for pricier name brands. There is evidence just in the last several months that that is taking place at numerous levels. CPI has been showing higher inflation than PCE; Last month, for instance, CPI was running at an 8.5% annual pace after hitting a four-decade high 9.1% in June. One reason: The Labor Department’s index gives more weight to rents, which have soared this year. The Commerce Department also reported Friday that Americans’ after-tax personal income rose 0.3% from June to July after adjusting for inflation; it has fallen in June. Consumer spending rose 0.2% last month after accounting for higher prices. Spiking prices have become a political threat to the current administration and President Joe Biden was quick to point to the latest data that could show inflation is loosening its grip. “The American people are starting to get some relief from high prices, and the Inflation Reduction Act that I signed last month will also help bring prices down,” Biden said Friday. “Gas prices decreased every day this summer – the fastest decline in over a decade. And, today’s report showed that personal income was up last month as well.” The Fed was slow to respond to rising inflation, thinking it the temporary result of supply chain bottlenecks. But as prices continued to climb, the U.S. central bank moved aggressively, hiking its benchmark interest rate four times since March. On Friday, Powell warned more explicitly than he has in the past that the Fed’s continued tightening of credit will cause pain for many households and businesses as its higher rates further slow the economy and potentially lead to job losses. “These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation,” Powell said. “But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.” Price pressures may already be easing as the U.S. economy slows. Gross domestic product — broadest measure of economic output — shrank in the first half of 2020 as borrowing costs increased. The housing market has been hit especially hard. And supply chain backlogs have started to unsnarl. “Inflation appears to have peaked in mid-2022 and should slow on a year-over-year basis through the rest of this year and in 2023,″ said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC. Nick Zawitz, who runs Tangle Creations, a South San Francisco company that makes Fidget Toys among others, said that shipping costs have plunged and raw materials prices have dropped slightly. Meanwhile, the company’s sales are up 45% over the past year. “Things are chugging along,’’ Zawitz said. _______ AP White House Correspondent Zeke Miller contributed to this report from Washington, D.C.

BENTONVILLE -- Police suspect a former youth minister may have had inappropriate contact with up to 30 boys, according to two Bentonville detectives. The detectives testified Friday at a bond hearing for Keenan Hord. Hord, 32, of Centerton was arrested Wednesday in connection with sexual assault, possessing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child and sexual indecency with a minor. He worked for First Baptist Church in Bentonville. Prosecutors have not filed formal charges against him. Hord has served on the staffs of at least two Southern Baptist churches, most recently First Baptist Bentonville, where he joined the staff in 2016 and became student pastor in 2018, according to Baptist Press, the news service of the Southern Baptist Convention. The church said in a statement Friday that the allegations came after Hord's employment there had ended, according to Baptist Press. "We have been devastated to learn that a former employee of our church has been credibly accused of abusing adolescents during his tenure at our church," First Baptist Bentonville said in a statement to Baptist Press. "While these accusations did not come to light until after his employment ended, when we learned of them we immediately contacted our local authorities, made a report to the Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline, and continue to fully support the ongoing law enforcement investigation." Hord also served on staff at Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova, Tenn., from 2011-2016. He served first as an intern, then became student pastor of Bellevue's Arlington, Tenn., campus in 2014, according to Baptist Press. Benton County Circuit Judge Robin Green presided Friday over Hord's bond hearing. She set Hord's bond at $500,000 cash only. Bentonville police received a tip through the Arkansas State Police child abuse hotline Aug. 19, according to a press release from the Bentonville Police Department. Bentonville detective James Boothman testified police searched Hord's residence Aug. 24 to seize electronic devices. Boothman said Hord's wife later notified police her husband had left the residence and had not returned. Police notified the U.S. Marshals Service that Hord was missing, and he was taken into custody Wednesday after police received a call he was at Walmart in Fayetteville and purchased a Tracfone, Boothman said. Boothman said police had spoken to six victims and identified up to 30 possible victims with an examination of Hord's cellphone. Bentonville police Sgt. Josh Woodhams testified he examined a cellphone belonging to one of the boys that revealed a romantic and sexual relationship between Hord and the boy. He said there were 5,000 conversations on the phone between Hord and the boy. Woodhams said police located a half million text messages on the phone. As many as 30 boys had conversations with Hord, Woodhams said. Several videos and images were on Hord's phone; one was a video taken of a boy in a restroom stall, Woodhams said. Woodhams said all the communications and images involved juvenile males. Joshua Robinson, deputy prosecutor, requested Hord's bond be set at $500,000 cash only. Nathan Smith, Benton County prosecuting attorney, urged the judge to follow the recommendation. He said there's a strong case against Hord and the likelihood of his conviction is strong. Smith said the only logical conclusion is Hord was evading law enforcement when he left his home. Smith described Hord as a flight risk. Ryan Jewell, Hord's attorney, urged the judge to set a corporate surety bond for his client. Jewell said his client has lived in the state for several years and has no criminal history. He told the judge the purpose of bond is to make sure individuals show up in court and bond should not be used as a punishment. The judge found there was probable cause to detain Hord on the charges. Hord must pay a half-million dollars in cash in order to be released from custody. Green also ordered Hord to turn over his passport to the Benton County Circuit Clerk's Office and not to have contact with any minors. Hord's arraignment is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Oct. 3 in Green's courtroom.

Delhi LG office returns 47 files signed by CMO staff instead of CM Kejriwal The development came nearly a week after LG V.K. Saxena wrote to Mr. Kejriwal. The Delhi Lieutenant Governor's office has returned 47 files signed by the CMO staff instead of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, sources said Saturday. The move is likely to intensify the tussle between the two constitutional authorities in the national capital. The development came nearly a week after LG V.K. Saxena wrote to Mr. Kejriwal, pointing out that the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) was forwarding files seeking opinion and approvals to the LG Secretariat without his signatures. The files returned by the LG Secretariat included those related to the education department and the Waqf Board among others, the sources at the LG office said. The sources claimed that the CMO had continued to send files not signed by the chief minister despite the issue being raised by Mr. Saxena. - Comments will be moderated by The Hindu editorial team. - Comments that are abusive, personal, incendiary or irrelevant cannot be published. - Please write complete sentences.

Affordable school supplies and other budget picks The school year is coming back around, and there’s no better time to start checking items off of your school supply list than right now. Finding affordable school supplies can be somewhat of a chore, but with an understanding of what supplies you need, you can probably find all your needs at a fair price. From pens and pencils to planners, notebooks and more, being prepared for the back-to-school season doesn’t have to be stressful or break the bank. Picking your school supply essentials Student age and grade Perhaps the main factors for your school supply list are the student’s age, grade and classes. For example, glue is an excellent option for elementary and middle school students who are likely to perform arts and crafts. Older students could benefit from tools with more versatility, such as laptops, tablets or other smart devices. Additionally, a student taking specific classes, such as art or dance, may require more specific materials than what you’ll find on a school supplies list. School supply options for keeping to your budget Most school supply lists include several different items, all of which students are expected to have. These costs can add up quickly, though there are a few ways to keep to your budget. If you know the student will use certain disposable items, such as crayons, pens, pencils or erasers, for more than just one school year, you can buy them in bulk to save year after year. Otherwise, consider looking for deals on the student’s essentials. Choosing your student’s essentials What constitutes “back-to-school essentials” can vary from student to student, and if they’re too old for elementary school supply lists, then it may be up to you to choose. A few agreed-upon essentials are backpacks, pens and pencils, notebooks and binders. However, this can depend on your student’s classes and may include things ranging from cameras to musical instruments and more. Best back-to-school supplies on a budget Ticonderoga 30-Pack Of Yellow Pre-Sharpened Graphite No. 2 Pencils Pencils are a must-have school supply item, no matter the student’s age.

Sister of 73-year-old lookout killed in McKinney fire, dozens of others sue utility company A week after PacifiCorp was sued by Northern California residents who lost homes and property in the McKinney fire, the utility company faces another lawsuit on behalf of dozens of people, including the sister of a longtime Siskiyou County fire lookout killed in the blaze, alleging wrongful death, negligence and other claims. The lawsuit, filed in Sacramento County Superior Court on Friday, states that the blaze ignited when PacifiCorp’s electrical equipment contacted or caused sparks to fly into surrounding vegetation. Shirley Shoopman, the sister of 73-year-old fire lookout Kathy Shoopman, the first of the blaze’s four victims identified, is named as a plaintiff along with more than 50 other residents, business owners and others affected by the McKinney fire. The lawsuit accuses PacifiCorp of “negligently, recklessly and willfully” failing to inspect, repair, maintain and operate the equipment, and failing to manage the vegetation around its infrastructure. “Overall, these fires don’t need to be our new normal,” said Dave Fox, the lead attorney representing the plaintiffs. “Our utilities can do better. They absolutely can manage their power lines and surrounding vegetation better to keep things safer.” All four deaths in the McKinney fire highlight how older people are more vulnerable to wildfires and more likely to live where they are commonplace. The fire ignited July 29 in Klamath National Forest outside Yreka. Extreme heat, low humidity, high winds and bone-dry vegetation fueled explosive growth that saw the blaze tear through the community of Klamath River, where Kathy Shoopman lived. In the days after the fire started, evacuees told The Times of their harrowing escapes, surrounded by flames and smoke and nearly overtaken by the flaming front. Four separate times, columns of smoke rose beyond the altitude at which a typical jet flies, penetrating the stratosphere, injecting a plume of soot and ash miles above Earth’s surface and creating a pyrocumulonimbus cloud — a phenomenon that NASA once memorably described as “the fire-breathing dragon of clouds.” Klamath National Forest officials announced Kathy Shoopman’s death on Aug. 8. She was a resident of Klamath River for nearly 50 years, the officials said, and was remembered as a talented artist, gardener and animal lover. Fox, the lead attorney, told The Times that Kathy and her sister, Shirley, were very close. The sisters didn’t have kids, he said. Their parents had died, and the siblings were major parts of each other’s lives. As of Friday, the McKinney fire had burned 60,138 acres and was 99% contained. It has destroyed 185 structures, damaged 11 more and left 12 people injured, in addition to the four deaths. Explosive growth of the deadly McKinney fire was driven by a perfect storm of extreme heat, dry vegetation, steep terrain and erratic winds. “This wildfire was not the result of an ‘act of God,’ ” according to the lawsuit. “Rather this wildfire was started by sparks from high-voltage transmission lines, distribution lines, appurtenances, and other electrical equipment within PacifiCorp’s utility infrastructure that ignited surrounding vegetation. Despite their knowledge of this extreme fire risk, defendants deliberately prioritized profits over safety.” The filing comes on the heels of other recent legal action related to the blaze. Last week, residents in the burn area sued PacifiCorp, alleging that sparks from the utility’s transmission lines and other equipment ignited the fire. PacifiCorp, which is owned by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway Energy holding company, operates an electrical grid across Oregon, Washington and Northern California. The utility company reported to California regulators that it operates a power line that runs near Highway 96 in Siskiyou County where the McKinney fire is thought to have started, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported. “Per company policy, we don’t discuss ongoing litigation,” Brandon Zero, a company spokesperson, told The Times on Friday. Fox, the plaintiffs’ lead attorney in Friday’s lawsuit, said that although he’s representing dozens of people, the case is not a class-action filing. Each plaintiff has unique claims against PacifiCorp, but they are being brought under one case for the sake of efficiency and in the hopes of holding the utility accountable, he said.

Speaking to reporters at the Nagpur airport, Fadnavis said the Congress was a sinking ship and people who think the ship cannot be salvaged were taking different decisions. "I think some questions raised by Azad were valid. However, it is their internal matter and I will not comment on it," the senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said. Azad, 73, who has been associated with the Congress for nearly five decades, also attacked party chief Sonia Gandhi for applying the "remote control model that demolished the institutional integrity of the UPA government" to the party. Reacting to the Shiv Sena's decision to ally with Maratha outfit Sambhaji Brigade, the BJP leader said when the time comes for one's destruction or downfall, one fails to think wisely. With Dussehra just around the corner, both factions of the Shiv Sena are likely to seek permission for the annual rally during the festival. When asked if the rival groups led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray will be granted permission for the rally in Mumbai, Fadnavis, who handles the home department, said, "Whichever event is as per rules and regulations will happen and anything that violates rules will not take place in this government." The Shiv Sena traditionally holds a Dussehra rally at Shivaji Park ground at Dadar in Mumbai. - Front Page - Pure Politics - Companies - Brands & Companies - More - Powell: Fed Could Keep Raising Rates Sharply Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered a stark message Friday: The Fed is determined to fight inflation with more sharp interest rate hikes, which will likely cause pain in the form of a weaker economy and job losses.

North Dakota wildlife officials are making significant changes to how they monitor for chronic wasting in deer and manage the fatal disease that's relatively new to the state but has quickly become a permanent part of the landscape. The plan that takes effect with the 2023 hunting season marks a longer-term view toward slowing the spread of CWD, which emerged in North Dakota in 2009 and is now on the verge of exponential growth in the state. The plan takes advantage of new science and emphasizes getting hunters used to the fact that they'll play a big role in determining how far, and how fast, CWD expands. The state Game and Fish Department notes in the plan that "success will depend on widespread buy-in from stakeholders." Agency Wildlife Veterinarian Charlie Bahnson told the Tribune, "We also acknowledge it's going to involve quite a bit of outreach and education on our part ... so in the future, when we have more CWD out there, we have built-in mitigating practices." People are also reading… Bahnson agreed at least one portion of the plan might be difficult to enforce but said, "We're optimistic that folks will understand the importance of it." Deer hunting is not only a tradition in North Dakota, it's an industry that contributes tens of millions of dollars to the state's economy annually. CWD history CWD is a fatal disease that strikes the nervous system in deer. It also impacts elk and moose, but no cases have been confirmed in those animals in North Dakota. The disease in the past two decades has moved out of the Wyoming-Colorado region and become present in a large chunk of central North America, including in all of the states and Canadian provinces surrounding North Dakota. The first case in North Dakota was confirmed in a mule deer in 2009. The first case in a white-tailed deer came four years later. There have been 70 total confirmations in the past 13 years -- 56 of them, or 80%, have been documented in the past three years. The disease appears to be spreading in western North Dakota from the north and the south, and it's now confirmed in eight hunting units. Game and Fish is no longer looking to isolate the disease, but instead crafting plans for living with it long term. "We have more and more units where we have CWD, and we also acknowledge that it's probably in more units, or more areas, than we're aware of," Bahnson said. The North Dakota Wildlife Federation calls CWD "the biggest threat to the long-term health of our deer herds." North Dakota's plan to deal with the disease was written about 20 years ago, well before it was even present. Game and Fish formed a task force last year to update it. The new plan will go into effect next year and remain in place until at least 2027. The plan updates previous tactics such as disease surveillance, baiting bans, carcass movement restrictions and hunting unit license allocations. Improving land access in certain areas also is key, Bahnson said. Surveillance Game and Fish has a surveillance program that entails hunters providing deer heads to Game and Fish for testing. The agency tests CWD-positive units annually and other units every three years. The annual tests in positive units have yielded more information than necessary, since meaningful changes typically occur over multiple years, according to the department. Meanwhile, testing negative units every three years didn't provide enough samples to make statistically valid conclusions. Game and Fish beginning next year will test all units -- positive or negative -- every five years, and set a specific goal for the number of samples to obtain, which could take more than one hunting season. "The year-to-year change in CWD prevalence isn't quite as important as getting a really good estimate of prevalence when we do test," Bahnson said. The department will continue to rely mainly on hunters but will increase the use of other methods, such as obtaining samples from dead dear found in the wild and from animals killed by vehicles on highways. Game and Fish also will implement a self-sampling kit for hunters. It will be available this year but won't be promoted until the 2023 season, Bahnson said. Baiting Baiting bans in place in 20 hunting units aim to prevent deer from congregating in a small area, an environment that can spread disease. Game and Fish will continue to implement baiting bans as it has been -- restricting units if they fall within 25 miles of a CWD detection, whether that case is in North Dakota or a surrounding state or province. The North Dakota Wildlife Federation and the state chapter of The Wildlife Society earlier this month called on Game and Fish and the Legislature to expand baiting bans to cover the entire state. Bahnson said leaving the baiting policy as is "ultimately is a compromise. We're balancing the desire of folks who really enjoy doing that (hunting over bait), and where there's an established risk of disease transmission." The Wildlife Federation in a statement to the Tribune said that "While we would have liked to see an even more proactive approach to CWD management, the federation is committed to working with the department to educate hunters, legislators, and the public to help slow the spread of CWD." Carcasses The brain and spinal cord of an infected deer contains an especially high concentration of CWD, and Game and Fish bans the transport of "high risk portions" of deer carcasses from CWD-positive units. The department is now shifting the focus to influencing proper disposal of those parts, which also include eyes, lower jaw, tongue, salivary glands, tonsils and lymph nodes. "Left on the landscape, this can serve as a source of infection for years," the plan states. Hunters will be able to freely move intact carcasses within the state, but carcass waste parts -- those not consumed or preserved for taxidermy -- must be disposed of in a landfill. "We do definitely acknowledge that's putting a lot of the responsibility in the hands of the hunters," Bahnson said, adding that "We'll be pushing the message of disposal quite a bit, hoping to shift behaviors." The Wildlife Federation said it plans to place deer dumpsters in "key" areas across the state for carcass disposal. "This free service will give hunters a place to bring their deer carcass, and they can rest assured that the carcass will be buried in the landfill," the group said. "It will take a committed effort from hunters, landowners, conservation organizations and the department to stop the spread of CWD." It will remain illegal to transport high-risk carcass parts into North Dakota from another state or province. Violations of baiting bans and carcass restrictions carry the potential for a $200 fine. Licenses The department has been aiming to keep CWD infection rates below levels at which they reach a "tipping" point where they begin outpacing a herd's ability to compensate. Infection rate percentages in North Dakota are in the single digits. In other states where the disease is more established, rates have reached 30-60% in some areas. Scientific knowledge of infection rates has advanced in recent years, and Game and Fish will be focusing on three thresholds when determining hunting unit license allocations -- first detection, 5% prevalence and 10% prevalence. Bahnson said 5% "suggests that you're starting to approach an exponential rate of increase," and that "once you get up to 10%, you're probably there." "When we reach 5%, that's when we start to turn up the dial on license allocations," he said. "Once we get to 10%, we would start to think of more drastic measures -- adjusting seasons, possibly having a sub-unit to really focus in harvest pressure where we need it." Bahnson said hunter land access is needed for the plan to work. "You can't just sprinkle in a bunch more licenses into a unit. Access is really critical. At 5%, we'll redouble our efforts to improve access through private lands efforts," he said, referring to Game and Fish programs that offer landowners incentives to open their land to public hunting. More information The new plan can be found at https://gf.nd.gov/node/5796. Game and Fish earlier this week held public meetings in Fargo and Dickinson on the plan. Another meeting is scheduled on Monday in Minot, at 7 p.m. at the Grand Hotel, 1505 N. Broadway. A recording of the Dickinson meeting will be made available on the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov, after the Minot meeting. The plan also is likely to be a topic during fall district advisory board meetings. Those public meetings are held each spring and fall to give North Dakotans an opportunity to talk about outdoors issues with Game and Fish personnel and district advisers. One meeting typically is held in Bismarck and livestreamed. For more information on CWD, go to https://gf.nd.gov/wildlife/diseases/cwd and https://cwd-info.org/.

RAYONG, Thailand (AP) — The Irrawaddy dolphin calf — sick and too weak to swim — was drowning in a tidal pool on Thailand’s shore when fishermen found him. The fishermen quickly alerted marine conservationists, who advised them how to provide emergency care until a rescue team could transport the baby to Thailand’s Marine and Coastal Resources Research and Development Center for veterinary attention. The baby was nicknamed Paradon, roughly translated as “brotherly burden,” because those involved knew from day one that saving his life would be no easy task. Irrawaddy dolphins, considered a vulnerable species by International Union for Conservation of Nature, are found in the shallow coastal waters of South and Southeast Asia and in three rivers in Myanmar, Cambodia and Indonesia. Their survival is threatened by habitat loss, pollution and illegal fishing. Officials from the marine research center believe around 400 Irrawaddy dolphins remain along the country’s eastern coast, bordering Cambodia. Since Paradon was found by the fishermen July 22, dozens of veterinarians and volunteers have helped care for him at the center in Rayong on the Gulf of Thailand. “We said among ourselves that the chance of him surviving was quite low, judging from his condition,” Thanaphan Chomchuen, a veterinarian at the center, said Friday. “Normally, dolphins found stranded on the shore are usually in such a terrible condition. The chances that these dolphins would survive are normally very, very slim. But we gave him our best try on that day.” Workers placed him in a seawater pool, treated the lung infection that made him so sick and weak, and enlisted volunteers to watch him round the clock. They have to hold him up in his tank to prevent him from drowning and feed him milk, initially done by tube, and later by bottle when he had recovered a bit of strength. A staff veterinarian and one or two volunteers stay for each eight-hour shift, and other workers during the day handle the water pump and filter and making milk for the calf. After a month, Paradon’s condition is improving. The calf believed to be between 4 and 6 months old can swim now and has no signs of infection. But the dolphin that was 138 centimeters long (4.5 feet) and around 27 kilograms (59 pounds) on July 22 is still weak and doesn’t take enough milk despite the team’s efforts to feed him every 20 minutes or so. Thippunyar Thipjuntar, a 32-year-old financial adviser, is one of the many volunteers who come for a babysitting shift with Paradon. Thippunya said with Paradon’s round baby face and curved mouth that looks like a smile, she couldn’t help but grow attached to him and be concerned about his development. “He does not eat enough but rather just wants to play. I am worried that he does not receive enough nutrition,” she told The Associated Press on Friday as she fed the sleepy Paradon, cradled in her arm. “When you invest your time, physical effort, mental attention, and money to come here to be a volunteer, of course you wish that he would grow strong and survive.” Sumana Kajonwattanakul, director of the marine center, said Paradon will need long-term care, perhaps as much as a year, until he is weaned from milk and is able to hunt for his own food. “If we just release him when he gets better, the problem is that he he won’t be able to have milk. We will have to take care of him until he has his teeth, then we must train him to eat fish, and be part of a pod. This will take quite some time,” Sumana said. Paradon’s caregivers believe the extended tender loving care is worth it. “If we can save one dolphin, this will help our knowledge, as there have not been many successful cases in treating this type of animal,” said veterinarian Thanaphan. “If we can save him and he survives, we will have learned so much from this.” “Secondly, I think by saving him, giving him a chance to live, we also raise awareness about the conservation of this species of animal, which are rare, with not many left.”
