Discussion groups, meetings and social life in general will be rife with this common but annoying tendency: People ask questions they have no interest in finding answers to. The Capricorn moon advises you listen through the ruse to get to the real purpose for the question. Then, give them what they want instead, which is attention and status.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 6). In the past, you strove for a symbol of success. Now you'll come to embody the vision so fully that symbols become meaningless. Your power surges as you help people get healthier and happier. More highlights: You'll win a tidy sum, and an unusual interest connects you with passion and adventure. Sagittarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 31, 10, 4 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). For some, suffering is the method of bonding they know and do best. For others, complaining is among the easiest ways to find common ground. When people vent, can you see it as their way of seeking connection with you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Every melodrama needs a villain. The superhero needs a nemesis, the fairytale an evil queen. Someone has to be the bad guy. In today's conflict, it's definitely the other person. Unless you're the other person -- then it's you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll take the initiative and reach out. You're willing to risk rejection for the possibility of making a new friend. As with many risks, there is an advantage to being first. You'll be sweetly rewarded for this today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don't typically broadcast your talents. You fear sounding immodest or being misunderstood and vulnerable to criticism. But others need to know about you, otherwise you won't be included in a way that fits your strengths.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be more creative after you've tidied up. The clean surfaces of your surroundings will brighten your thinking and send a message to your subconscious (and anyone else who happens to come over) that all is well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're reasonably comfortable, but the nagging voice inside you is calling out for more -- more delight, more closeness, more adventure. The slightest move outside the familiar will tip you onto this bright, new track.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Anyone can notice fresh beauty, though few see the breathtaking splendor of the commonplace as you do today -- the sky, the dog's fur, the shapes and shadows that will never again be quite the same as they are today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whatever you do, it's only human. Social awkwardness has no expression from this expansive place in the mind and heart. You're learning; everyone else is learning, too. You're teaching; everyone else is teaching, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You work purposefully to make progress, to get to completion or maybe just to feel the motion of it. Some you meet seem content to amble and enjoy. While you appreciate their perspective, you can't imagine sharing it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll get something done in an established group -- a grand social machine with rules, systems and methods for getting results. Your sensitivity and diplomacy will be grease for these turning wheels.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Financial success is a direct result of forethought, planning and follow-through. It doesn't have to be complicated. For instance, assess what you have before shopping. A simple win occurs as a direct result of this practice.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you admire in others is either 1) in you, too, or 2) absolutely missing in you, therefore you need the ones who have it. Whatever the case, it is most auspicious to make your appreciation known. Alliances get formed. | https://trib.com/fun/horoscopes/article_1295981e-2a2e-11ed-b744-4772cd904cda.html | 2022-09-01T20:34:40Z | https://trib.com/fun/horoscopes/article_1295981e-2a2e-11ed-b744-4772cd904cda.html | false |

Malaysia’s former first lady Rosmah Mansor has been convicted of soliciting and receiving bribes during her husband’s corruption-tainted administration, a week after he was imprisoned over the massive looting of the 1MDB state fund.
Rosmah was found guilty on three charges of soliciting bribes and receiving 6.5 million ringgit (£1.25 million) between 2016 and 2017 to help a company secure a project to provide solar energy panels to schools on Borneo. She is expected to remain out on bail for her appeal to higher courts.
High Court Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said prosecutors proved beyond reasonable doubt that Rosmah solicited bribes and received money as a reward for herself. He said her defence was a bare denial.
Her husband Najib Razak began a 12-year prison term last week after losing his final appeal in one of the five cases against him involving the multibillion-pound theft from 1MDB.
Before the verdict, the court heard Rosmah’s application to disqualify the judge after the alleged guilty judgment was leaked online. Police said the leaked document was work done within the court’s research unit and was not the judgment, but Rosmah’s defence said they had lost confidence the judge could be fair.
Prosecutor Gopal Sri Ram said Rosmah’s application was made in bad faith to delay her verdict. He said there was nothing wrong if the judge did request the view of the court’s research unit. Such a system of judicial research is accepted in many countries and doesn’t discredit the court nor imply any bias, he added.
Malaysia’s top court earlier criticised the action of the website, run by a blogger based in England, as “a deliberate act” to smear the court’s reputation.
Last week, the same website published a document it said was the Federal Court’s guilty verdict against Najib, just before the ruling was read out in court. The court has said that leaked document was a working draft of the ruling. The court has filed complaints with police over both leaks.
Each of the charges against Rosmah, 70, carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of five times the amount of the bribe. The court is hearing mitigation statements before deciding the penalty.
Rosmah made an emotional plea from the dock, saying she was saddened and felt she was not given justice. She said she had never solicited any funds or taken any money even while she was heading charity foundations during her time as the prime minister’s wife.
She also condemned as political persecution the events that led to Najib being jailed and her family being made to suffer.
“If that’s your conclusion, I surrender to God,” she said.
Rosmah’s trial had shed light on her alleged sway in the government since her husband took office in 2009. Prosecutors said she wielded considerable influence due to her “overbearing nature”, even though she held no official position.
Witnesses said a special department, called First Lady of Malaysia, was set up to handle her affairs.
The couple have been hit with multiple counts of corruption after the shocking removal of Najib’s United Malays National Organisation in 2018 elections, fuelled by public anger over the 1MDB scandal.
UMNO has since returned to power after defections caused the collapse of the reformist government that won 2018 polls.
After Najib lost power, police raiding family residences seized hundreds of boxes of luxury handbags, 423 watches, 14 tiaras and other jewellery plus cash estimated at more than 1.1 billion ringgit (£211 million).
Rosmah has also been charged with laundering illegal proceeds and tax evasion linked to 1MDB in another trial that has not started. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3650878/malaysias-ex-first-lady-rosmah-mansor-found-guilty-a-week-after-husband-jailed/ | 2022-09-01T20:36:40Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3650878/malaysias-ex-first-lady-rosmah-mansor-found-guilty-a-week-after-husband-jailed/ | true |
Modern farmers face both opportunities and incredible challenges in equal amounts as a result of the need for everyone on planet Earth to achieve net zero emissions by 2040. Like their counterparts in the electrical, technology, or car manufacturing sectors, they have no choice but to not only try, but succeed.
An example of what is happening in the latter three groups is a movement called the Climate Pledge, founded in 2019 by Amazon and Global Optimism, a civic and social organization that “embraces the complexity of the climate crisis and the solutions we urgently need.”
The two joined forces in launching a platform they say is “for signatories to work together on ambitious actions to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.”
Over 300 organizations from 51 industries and 29 nations have since signed on, including Schneider Electric, Microsoft, and Mercedes-Benz, and the global annual revenues generated by all signatories currently stands at over US$3.5 trillion.
It is within this vortex of activity that farmers around the world are grappling with how best they can help to solve the climate crisis. One possibility, and something that could also generate added revenue for them, revolves around carbon credits.
On its site, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), a national land conservation organization, defines a carbon credit as a “certificate or permit that allows the purchaser to offset their greenhouse gas emissions through the capturing or sequestering of carbon in the trees and soil, rather than it being released into the atmosphere. One carbon credit represents the reduction of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.”
A technical paper released by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy in April stated that there has “been little exploration to date of the effectiveness of using carbon credits to encourage Alberta farmers to practice farming techniques that lower emissions, while earning extra revenue without jeopardizing their agricultural output.”
Authors Nimanthika Lokuge and Prof. Sven Anders wrote that “carbon-credit systems allow agricultural producers to earn an extra revenue through selling their surplus of carbon credits to producers who emit higher amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
“However, agricultural carbon-credit systems are still at early stage; hence, these benefits cannot be guaranteed due to their uncertain nature and the paucity of scientific evidence about agricultural carbon credits.”
They went on to say that “some lower-emission farming protocols have proved profitable for farmers by improving efficiency, even without carbon offset incentives. While farmers may adopt these practices for their own reasons, they are reluctant to participate in Alberta’s carbon-offset market unless they are sufficiently rewarded.”
Farmers in Alberta and elsewhere would likely participate in carbon markets if they knew the soil efficiency of their acreage and how much carbon is stored and to that end, technology now exists that allows that to happen.
One company that provides such a service is SoilOptix. Based in Tavistock, Ont., the company’s technology offering, “involves a standard four-step process that includes soil mapping, extraction of soil samples, processing and the retrieval of results.
“The resulting data can be used for multiple purposes including variable rate application of fertilizer or seed, precise management of water, or more informed practices around field scouting. In some instances, historical field management (or lack thereof) can influence the present-day decisions growers may make in their fields.”
Paul Raymer, chief executive officer and founder of the nine-year-old company, describes it as a “fancy tube” that contains sophisticated technology: “It acts like a sponge. Soil gives off a natural radiation that we can’t taste, smell or feel as humans, but this instrument can. It digitizes the energy coming out of the soil.”
Last November, Hutchinsons, a U.K.-based SoilOptix service provider and crop production specialist, announced the launch of the nation’s first carbon mapping service called TerraMap Carbon.
Matt Ward, the company’s service manager, said in a release that “despite growers coming under increasing pressure to look at their carbon foot print in response to the NFU’s (National Farmers Union) commitment for U.K. farming to achieve carbon net zero by 2040, until now there has been no accurate means of measuring carbon in the soil.
“And unless you can measure carbon there is no way it can be managed. In fact, unless carbon can be measured, how will we know when we are at net zero.”
Using the SoilOptix technology, the service Hutchinsons provides can accurately map both organic and active carbon.
“The pressure to manage carbon is only going to become greater as other industries are already showing positive change,” says Ward. “As an industry, U.K. farming is in a unique and enviable position as farming activities can make positive changes to carbon, which most other industries are not able to do.”
On this side of the Atlantic, carbon in the soil is indeed being turned into cash. Last month, CNBC reported that start-up Indigo AG now helps farmers obtain carbon credits.
“Through Carbon by Indigo, increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse gas emissions from these practices can also generate registry-issued carbon credits, which are increasingly in demand by major corporations,” the company said.
Meanwhile in an interview with IT World Canada, Chiranjib Adak, head of BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) Canada Business Technology Solution for Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), said while carbon credits have merit and a marketplace will be created, they only represent one piece of a puzzle, with the other two being sustainable or regenerative agriculture and a trustworthy marketplace.
The three together can be viewed as a “value triangle,” he said.
Adak added that if you look at the client base of his division, it is wide ranging: “We are working with a leading pharma and biotech firm, we are working with a large chemical company, we are working with a multinational food, snack and beverage company.”
“For all of them, regenerative farming, crop productivity, soil fertility, all under the overall umbrella of sustainable agriculture, becomes critical.
“That leads to better crop health, better yield, better soil fertility and a better supply chain visibility from Farm to Fork. And in addition to lending possibilities and carbon credits and the trading of carbon credits, you also have the ability to do crop insurance.”
As for the key technologies that will be needed to create and sustain smart farming, Adak said that includes the ability to “ingest data from different sources” such as satellites and drones, followed by the ability to analyze that data in real time through machine learning techniques.
“We are focusing on both improving the food production and crop yield and also creating a platform that allow farms to conduct better crop planning and production,” he said. | https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/soil-mapping-advances-helping-farmers-one-acre-at-a-time/500980 | 2022-09-01T20:37:18Z | https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/soil-mapping-advances-helping-farmers-one-acre-at-a-time/500980 | true |
The inquest into the deaths of 11 people in the Shoreham Airshow tragedy will not reinvestigate the fatalities, a coroner has said.
Eleven men died after a plane taking part in an aerial display crashed on to the nearby A27 in Sussex on August 22, 2015. Thirteen other people were injured.
The pilot of the Hawker Hunter plane, Andrew Hill, was charged with 11 counts of manslaughter by gross negligence but found not guilty on all counts in March 2019. He maintains he has no recollection of the crash.
The inquest into the 11 deaths was originally opened on September 2, 2015 but was adjourned in 2018 due to the criminal trial of Mr Hill.
The inquests resumed in March 2019 following the conclusion of the criminal trial, but hearings which were set for September 2020 were adjourned due to the pandemic.
A pre-inquest review into the deaths was heard on Thursday at County Hall North in Horsham, Sussex.
The 11 victims were Anthony Brightwell, 53, from Hove; Daniele Polito, 23, from Goring-by-Sea; Dylan Archer, 42, from Brighton; Jacob Schilt, 23, from Brighton; James Mallinson, 72, from Newick; Mark Reeves, 53, from Seaford; Mark Trussler, 54, from Worthing; Matthew Grimstone, 23, from Brighton; Matthew Jones, 24, from Littlehampton; Maurice Abrahams, 76, from Brighton; and Richard Jonathan Smith, 26, from Hove.
Earlier this year the High Court refused West Sussex senior coroner Penelope Schofield’s application to include some of the evidence from the criminal trial of Mr Hill, including a cockpit video of the crash, within the inquest.
The High Court also ruled Ms Schofield should rely on evidence provided by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) rather than reinvestigating the crash.
Ms Schofield said: “The factual witness evidence investigated during the forthcoming inquest should only cover matters that fall outside of the AAIB investigation.
“As the High Court stated, there is no public interest in reinvestigation. Rather the coroner should rely on the submissions of the body with the greatest expertise in that particular area.
“The remit of my investigation is now defined as the cause of death of each of the deceased, and the planning, organisation, and preparation for the Shoreham Airshow and the aerobatic display in respect of consideration given and any steps taken regarding safeguarding members of the public outside the airshow, including bystanders and users of the A27.”
Ms Schofield also said Mr Hill would not be called as a witness as he had already submitted evidence to the investigation.
Kirsten Heaven, a solicitor representing a number of the victims’ families, claimed Sussex Police is attempting to “wriggle away” from giving evidence about a safety briefing held in the days before the airshow, having only put forward two witnesses.
She said: “The families feel like Sussex Police is seeking to wriggle away from a bit of scrutiny over what police involvement was at the time.
“Obviously these witnesses have relevant evidence to give, they were in the room, and we’re not asking for all of them but they all played a different role.
“It does appear to the families that Sussex Police are seeking to wriggle away by offering up someone who isn’t going to be able to answer the questions that the families have.”
In response, the legal representative for Sussex Police said: “We’re not trying to wriggle out of this, those involved were traumatised and for many of them it will be difficult to come to court – that needs to be kept in mind.
“It’s not unreasonable to say they feel a great sense of reluctance to appear in court but if they are needed they will come.”
The full inquest is set to take place from November 7 to 18, and from December 5 to 16. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3653791/shoreham-airshow-tragedy-inquest-will-not-reinvestigate-deaths-says-coroner/ | 2022-09-01T20:38:44Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3653791/shoreham-airshow-tragedy-inquest-will-not-reinvestigate-deaths-says-coroner/ | false |
BREST, France (AP) — Australia and France are strengthening their defense cooperation and deepening their diplomatic ties, officials said Thursday, as the two countries seek to heal wounds from a controversy over a secret submarine contract that infuriated France a year ago.
During his last stop on a European tour, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles assured France that his country is trying to “turn the page” and “move on” from the breakdown in relations.
The controversy erupted after Australia canceled a military contract with France that was worth billions of euros (dollars) and took its business instead to the United States and Britain.
“It’s critically important that our relationship moves forward with frankness, with respect and with honesty,” Marles said in a joint statement with his French counterpart, Sébastien Lecornu, in the western French port city of Brest.
The two ministers said they were committed to projects that will strengthen their joint defense capabilities and protect their “shared interests in a prosperous, resilient and secure” Indo-Pacific region.
They agreed to “enhance military cooperation,” including more robust joint military exercises, joint regional deployments, training activities and improved sharing of intelligence.
“Like all friendships, it has experienced ups and downs,” Lecornu, the French defense minister, said of their bilateral relations. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-australia-france-deepen-defense-ties-after-breakdown/ | 2022-09-01T20:43:48Z | https://www.kxnet.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-australia-france-deepen-defense-ties-after-breakdown/ | false |
SEATTLE (AP) — Amtrak will restart its Cascades passenger-train service between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, in September — earlier than the December restart date announced previously because of a lack of personnel.
Service will resume on Sept. 26, according to a statement Wednesday from Amtrak officials along with the Washington and Oregon Departments of Transportation and VIA Rail Canada Wednesday.
One roundtrip will be offered daily, with a second added later as Amtrak staffing continues to ramp up.
Amtrak suspended service on the route to Canada about two years ago when the pandemic started and the countries' borders were closed.
Amtrak said this spring they didn’t have enough conductors, mechanics and service staff yet to operate the trains likely until December. Washington state officials said at the time they hoped the trains would roll again by summer or late spring. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Amtrak-restarting-service-from-Seattle-to-17413417.php | 2022-09-01T20:45:32Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Amtrak-restarting-service-from-Seattle-to-17413417.php | false |
Starbucks has named a longtime PepsiCo executive as its new CEO.
The coffee giant said Thursday that Laxman Narasimhan will join Starbucks on Oct. 1 after relocating from London to Seattle, where Starbucks is based.
He will work closely with Starbucks' interim CEO Howard Schultz through April 1, when he will assume the CEO role and join the company’s board.
Schultz said Narasimhan is “uniquely positioned” to lead the company, with a demonstrated track record of growth in both mature and emerging markets.
“As I have had the opportunity to get to know him, it has become clear that he shares our passion of investing in humanity and in our commitment to our partners, customers, and communities,” Schultz said in a statement.
Narasimhan was most recently CEO of Reckitt, a U.K.-based consumer health, hygiene and nutrition company that makes Lysol cleaner and Enfamil formula, among other products. Reckitt had announced Narasimhan’s surprise departure earlier Thursday.
Prior to that, Narasimhan held various leadership roles at PepsiCo, including as global chief commercial. He also served as CEO of the company’s Latin America, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa operations. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Starbucks-names-former-PepsiCo-executive-as-new-17413546.php | 2022-09-01T20:46:38Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Starbucks-names-former-PepsiCo-executive-as-new-17413546.php | true |

Portsmouth manager Danny Cowley is expected to make changes to his team for the Sky Bet League One visit of Peterborough.
Ronan Curtis was the only player to start the midweek EFL Trophy penalty shoot-out defeat by Crawley who had also started the previous league game against Port Vale, and Cowley was unhappy with the team’s performance.
Denver Hume and Joe Morrell made their first starts of the season against Crawley following injuries and will hope to be involved again.
Josh Griffiths should start in goal, but Louis Thompson is out after suffering a broken leg.
Peterborough could hand a debut to centre-back Kelland Watts, who joined the club on loan from Newcastle on deadline day.
Joel Randall will be hoping to be involved again after he started the EFL Trophy defeat by Stevenage in midweek following a shoulder injury.
Peterborough remain without long-term injury absentees Dan Butler and Oliver Norburn, while Emmanuel Fernandez is on the sidelines, but Lucas Bergstrom is set to return in goal after Harvey Cartwright started against Stevenage.
Ricky-Jade Jones will look to be involved again after scoring against Stevenage, and Kwame Poku is pushing for more minutes as he continues to build up his fitness after a calf injury. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3654712/portsmouth-manager-danny-cowley-expected-to-make-changes-for-peterborough-visit/ | 2022-09-01T20:46:52Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3654712/portsmouth-manager-danny-cowley-expected-to-make-changes-for-peterborough-visit/ | false |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee seeking financial records from former President Donald Trump has reached an agreement that ends litigation on the matter and requires an accounting firm to turn over some of the material, the panel’s leader announced Thursday.
The long-running case began in April 2019, when the House Committee on Oversight and Reform first subpoenaed a wealth of records from Trump’s then-accounting firm, Mazars USA. The committee cited testimony from Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, that it said raised questions about the president’s representation of his financial affairs when it came to seeking loans and paying taxes.
Under the agreement, Trump has agreed to end his legal challenges to the subpoena and Mazars USA has agreed to produce responsive documents to the committee as expeditiously as possible, said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., who heads the committee.
“After numerous court victories, I am pleased that my committee has now reached an agreement to obtain key financial documents that former President Trump fought for years to hide from Congress,” Maloney said.
Trump is facing investigations on several fronts, including the storage of top-secret government information discovered at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and whether the former president’s team criminally obstructed the inquiry. In Georgia, prosecutors are investigating whether he and allies illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. Meanwhile, congressional committees are following through on investigations that began when he was president.
The settlement over Mazars follows a July decision by a federal appeals court in Washington that narrowed what records Congress is entitled to obtain. The court said the committee should be given records pertinent to financial ties between foreign countries and Trump or any of his businesses for 2017-18.
The appeals court also ordered Mazars to turn over documents between November 2016 and 2018 relating to the Trump company that held the lease granted by the federal government for the former Trump International Hotel, located between the White House and the Capitol.
In the decision, the court said Trump’s financial records would “advance the Committee’s consideration of ethics reform legislation across all three of its investigative tracks,” including on presidential ethics and conflicts of interest, presidential financial disclosures, and presidential adherence to Constitutional safeguards against foreign interference and undue influence.
The House investigation dates February 2019, when Trump’s former personal attorney, Cohen, testified to the committee that Trump had a history of misrepresenting the value of assets to gain favorable loan terms and tax benefits.
Cohen served time in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2018 to tax crimes, lying to Congress and campaign finance violations, some of which involved his role in orchestrating payments to two women to keep them from talking about alleged affairs with Trump.
But his testimony prompted the committee to seek key financial documents from Mazars, and in April 2019, the committee issued a subpoena to Mazars seeking four targeted categories of documents.
The following month, Trump sued to prevent Mazars from complying with the subpoena. The case has been winding its way through the court system since.
Mazars earlier this year said it had cut ties with Trump and warned that financial statements the firm had prepared for Trump “should no longer be relied upon” by anyone doing business with him.
Another House committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, has been seeking Trump’s tax returns and waging its own litigation. In that case, a three-judge appellate court panel agreed last month with a lower court’s decision in favor of Congress and that the Treasury Department should provide the tax returns to the committee.
The Justice Department, under the Trump administration, had defended a decision by then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to withhold the tax returns from Congress. Mnuchin argued that he could withhold the documents because he concluded they were being sought by Democrats for partisan reasons. A lawsuit ensued.
After Biden took office, the committee renewed the request, seeking Trump’s tax returns and additional information from 2015-2020. The White House took the position that the request was a valid one and that the Treasury Department had no choice but to comply. Trump then attempted to halt the handover in court. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-house-committee-reaches-deal-to-get-trump-financial-records/ | 2022-09-01T20:46:52Z | https://www.kxnet.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-house-committee-reaches-deal-to-get-trump-financial-records/ | true |
Dan Evans continued his excellent record at the US Open by beating James Duckworth to reach the third round for the fifth time.
The British number two has only once failed to make the last 32 when he has been in the main draw and progressed to the fourth round 12 months ago.
Having lost only six games to Jiri Vesely in the first round, Evans looked set for another comfortable afternoon against Australian Duckworth when he eased into a two-set lead.
But Duckworth, ranked 83rd, took his first break point of the match in the ninth game of the third set and then had an early break in the fourth before Evans fought back to clinch a 6-3 6-2 4-6 6-4 victory.
The 20th seed did not hide his delight at the end, spreading his arms wide and running to the net after taking his first match point with a backhand pass threaded down the line.
Evans said: “It was getting difficult. I was in control and then I thought he played very well to get back in.
“I was just happy to get off, really. It was nice to win that match to get to the third round. It’s a match I’m on paper supposed to win. It was my goal to get to where I needed to get to in the seeding spots, do my job, and then go from there.”
Evans had a lot of support, including from Tim Henman, who was watching courtside.
The pair have very similar game styles, and Evans said: “I speak to him quite often. He’s obviously a reassuring figure to have by the side of the court. He’s close probably to getting me a coaching fine pretty quickly.”
Evans will now take on former champion Marin Cilic for a place in the last 16. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3654736/dan-evans-coasts-into-us-open-third-round-with-win-over-james-duckworth/ | 2022-09-01T20:46:58Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3654736/dan-evans-coasts-into-us-open-third-round-with-win-over-james-duckworth/ | false |

Rain intensity reduces on Thursday in Bengaluru, but flooding continues on ORR
Despite the intensity of the rains reducing in Bengaluru on Thursday, the Outer Ring Road was still flooded, making it difficult for motorists
Despite the intensity of the rains reducing in Bengaluru on Thursday morning, the Outer Ring Road (ORR) was still flooded, making it difficult for motorists.
Traffic was still crippled on the ORR owing to water from the Savalakere lake overflowing into a nearby drain, following rains starting on Tuesday, resulting in flooding on the roads.
Though the intensity of the rains has reduced since, there was at least 2 feet of water on the ORR, starting from the Silk Board junction to Bellandur, Marathahalli, and Sarjapura Road, making it impossible for two-wheelers to pass through.
The flooding caused slow-moving traffic on the ORR, especially near Ecospace, a tech park. Residents say that the lake is overflowing after the rains and the stormwater drain (SWD) is not able to handle the inflow, which is resulting in flooding on the ORR.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mahadevaswamy, resident of Bellandur, said, “This is not the first time that the ORR is flooded and the Savalakere is overflowing. In 2017, a similar situation happened, but the agency concerned did not take any measures to solve the issue”.
“The civic body should make sure that illegal encroachments on the SWD are removed and also make the SWD big enough to handle the lake water to flow. The removal of silt and sludge from the SWD are also not done properly by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and this has led to such a situation, where the whole stretch looks like a river,” he added.
The situation was the same on the Silk Board junction, one of the most infamous traffic junctions in the city. Starting from BTM Circle towards 100 Feet Ring Road to Silk Board junction, flooding was seen near the ongoing metro construction site on the stretch.
Sharavana Kumara, a motorist, said, “Already, the road had a lot of potholes and the metro construction is also going on. Adding to this, rainwater has flooded the whole stretch, leading to a harrowing experience while driving on the stretch”.
BBMP starts culvert work
After repeated complaints about the ORR flooding after rains on Thursday, hours before the Chief Minister’s visit to the areas, the BBMP started culvert work on the SWD near Ecospace on ORR.
Speaking to The Hindu, BBMP Chief Engineer (Stormwater Drains) M. Lokesh said, “The water is exceeding the capacity of the SWDs in the area due to the overflow of the lake. Now, we are constructing the culvert”.
The BBMP also started identifying illegal encroachments near the SWD and the lake. “We are exploring whether there is any encroachment by conducting a survey. We will get a clear picture about it and if any illegal encroachments are found in the survey, we will work on removing them,” he added.
Companies on ORR opt for the work from home option
The ORR houses many IT and multinational companies and most of them on Thursday asked their employees to work from home (WFH), after the roads were still waterlogged.
Speaking to The Hindu, Krishna Kumar Gowda, operations manager, Outer Ring Road Companies’ Association (ORRCA), said, “Many companies on the stretch have instructed their employees to WFH since the water on the road had not decreased. Anyway, there were not many people affected on Wednesday as it was a holiday due to Ganesh Chaturthi and many employees had also decided to opt for WFH, since they knew that they would be stuck in the traffic jams.”
A HSR Layout traffic police official said that the water flow has slightly reduced and vehicles can move in a single lane near Ecospace at ORR.
Meanwhile, two traffic police personnel were seen clearing the drain vent on the waterlogged stretch near Ecospace, Bellandur, on Thursday morning.

Slow improvement: On first quarter GDP growth
Fiscal authorities should spur consumption and investment to aid faster recovery
The latest official GDP estimates would in normal circumstances be a cause for cheer, pointing as they ostensibly do to a double-digit expansion in economic output in the first quarter. The NSO’s projection of 13.5% growth in gross domestic product from the year-earlier April-June period, however, is disconcertingly slower than the 16.2% pace that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had projected just last month and points to an economy that is still in search of a firmer footing. Faced with headwinds — signs of a global recession and the Ukraine war — the first-quarter’s underwhelming momentum may pitch the economy into a far shallower growth trajectory even as faster-than-acceptable inflation erodes consumer confidence. Output in the eight broad sectors that combine to provide the Gross Value Added (GVA) shows that while year-on-year all sectors expanded, with public administration, defence and other services growing 26.3%, six of these sectors posted sequential contractions. Only two services sectors — electricity, gas, water and other utility services, and financial and professional services — logged expansions from the January-March quarter, growing by 12.6% and 23.7%, respectively. The major employment-providing sectors of agriculture, manufacturing, construction and the contact-intensive trade, hotels and transport services sector suffered quarter-on-quarter contractions of 13.3%, 10.5%, 22.3% and 24.6%, respectively.
The demand side has flattered to deceive. Private final consumption expenditure, the essential bulwark of the economy, appeared to have revived with a year-on-year expansion of 25.9% lifting its share in the GDP to just shy of 60%. However, when viewed sequentially, the estimated ₹22.08 lakh crore of private consumption spending in April-June 2022 was a not insignificant ₹54,000 crore, or 2.4%, less than what was spent in the preceding quarter. And both government spending and gross fixed capital formation, which is viewed as a proxy for private investment, shrank quarter-on-quarter by 10.4% and 6.8%, respectively, undermining overall output. That GDP, in fact, contracted 9.6% sequentially should be a cause for concern among policymakers. Given that this year’s monsoon has distributed rains in an erratic scattershot pattern that has caused disruptive flooding in some parts while leaving key paddy and pulses growing areas in northern and eastern India moisture deficient, both farm output and consumer spending in the rural hinterland are likely to take a hit. And with global trade also becalmed amid the sharp slowdown in advanced economies, India’s merchandise exports are sure to weaken in momentum, any benefits from the rupee’s depreciation against the dollar notwithstanding. With the RBI needing to stay laser focused on taming inflation, the onus is on fiscal authorities to spur consumption and investment.

Record-breaking summer heat is hitting the U.S. West. It is expected to bring sustained high temperatures through Labor Day weekend by many forecast models as millions are living under heat advisories caused by a growing mega heat wave.
The Weather Prediction Center said temperatures could rise above 110F in some parts of the Southwest "where an excessive heat warning is currently in effect."
Over 55 million people are living under active high-temperature alerts in areas stretching from portions of the Northwest down to Southern California and in swaths of the U.S. that include at least 20 of the most populated cities in the country's West, according to meteorologists at CNN.
The National Weather Service in Los Angeles expects this to be a "prolonged heat event" and urged residents in affected areas to "be prepared."
A weather model shared by the service on Twitter shows an excessive heat forecast expected to extend through Labor Day weekend for their entire Southern California coverage area.

Vulnerable populations are of particular worry for emergency services and meteorologists as elderly populations and those without proper air conditioning, or even workers who have to work outside, could experience serious heat illnesses in extended high temperatures.
Heatwaves have impacted multiple parts of the globe this summer. China has been experiencing its worst drought in decades amid a prolonged heatwave in many parts of the country that has caused safety issues for residents and halted agricultural production in many areas.
In the United Kingdom, England has seen multiple hottest summer days on record, according to official numbers out on Thursday, the BBC reported.
According to the country's Met Office, which tracks this data, four of the five hottest summers on record there have happened since 2003. | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/mega-heatwave-builds-as-millions-currently-under-high-temperature-alerts-in-the-us-west | 2022-09-01T20:52:03Z | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/mega-heatwave-builds-as-millions-currently-under-high-temperature-alerts-in-the-us-west | true |
While Americans love their cars, California has adopted a radical strategy aimed at changing their minds, passing a first-of-its-kind bill Wednesday to reward low-income residents who live car-free.
Amid a bonanza of measures passed to cut the state's carbon emissions as fast as possible, the California legislature approved a $1,000 refundable tax credit to poorer Californians who don't own vehicles. It will head to the desk of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is expected to sign it.
The bill offers the tax credit to single-filers earning up to $40,000 and joint-filers making up to $60,000 who live without personal cars. And, because the tax credit is refundable, Golden State residents can claim the full amount even if they don't have $1,000 in tax liability.
The move, which comes a little more than a week after California decided to ban the sales of new gas-only powered vehicles, represents the state's latest attempt to lead the United States in ambitious climate policy. In a marathon legislative session, the state also passed a law requiring 3,200-foot "buffer zones" between oil wells and buildings such as schools or day-care centers, approved a plan to keep the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant open, and finally, set goals to generate 90% of electricity from clean sources by 2035 and cut greenhouse gas emissions 85% by 2045.
"There has never been a year like this on climate," David Weiskopf, a senior policy adviser at NextGen Policy, said in a statement. "I could not be more proud of what our state has accomplished."
The new tax credit aims to make a small dent in California's famous road congestion and to provide low-income households with extra funding to make use of public transportation.
"SB 457 will be a dramatic attempt to remedy the challenges of not owning a car in California," Marc Vukcevich, a state policy advocate at the nonprofit Streets For All, said in a statement. "SB 457 incentives folks to not own a car, rewards them for that good behavior, and provides them money for alternative forms of transportation."
In Los Angeles, for example, the extra $1,000 could provide almost enough cash for monthly unlimited passes on the Los Angeles Metro. (Yes, Los Angeles has a metro!)
While the transition to electric vehicles is underway, many policymakers have begun to reckon with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by cutting down on driving.
The United States is unlikely to hit its climate goals without a significant decrease in personal car ownership and driving. Thanks to a combination of car-centric urban planning and suburban sprawl, Americans annually drive a total of 3 trillion miles. According to the energy think-tank RMI, the United States must cut vehicle miles traveled 20% by 2030 to keep warming below 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) - and that is true even in scenarios of aggressive EV adoption.
Originally, California would have offered its no-car incentive to a much broader swath of residents, giving a $2,500 credit to any California taxpayer without a car, regardless of income, and to households that had fewer cars than household members.
But even in its narrowed form, the bill could set an example for other state and local governments for how to encourage reduced driving and increased public transit use.
"As the impacts of climate change are felt across our state, it's time we more aggressively commit to implementing modes of sustainable transportation," state Democratic Sen. Anthony Portantino, the author of the bill, said in a statement. "SB 457 is an important step towards that goal." | https://www.phillytrib.com/california-wants-to-give-residents-1-000-not-to-have-a-car/article_485650a6-69f7-5aa1-b133-453cfb57a7d8.html | 2022-09-01T20:52:04Z | https://www.phillytrib.com/california-wants-to-give-residents-1-000-not-to-have-a-car/article_485650a6-69f7-5aa1-b133-453cfb57a7d8.html | true |
Brantley's new show explores the perception of the Black body
NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 9th through October 22nd, internationally recognized artist Hebru Brantley will present his show, Dark Fiction: Flowers & Frogs, at Richard Beavers Gallery at 14 Wooster Street, New York, NY.
This exhibition explores the perception of the Black body – how it is presented, seen, and how it survives. In this work, Brantley finds a correlation between the beauty of flowers and the Black body. "There is a beauty within us and within our culture," says Brantley. "This beauty is precious and vulnerable, and oftentimes commoditized, the same way flowers are clipped for decoration for the instant gratification of humans, promptly causing them to wither and die once removed from their soil."
"Flowers are also personal to me as I recollect my mother in the garden," continues Brantley. "As a child I have memories of helping her tend the garden and learning the delicate and precious nature of the various plants she was cultivating. A correlation is also drawn between a tended garden and a community or household in the same context of the black body, embodying both themes of nature and nurture, together."
Brantley's Dark Fiction body of work is a departure from his well-known Flyboy universe, featuring iconic characters "Flyboy and Lil Mama." But throughout, his work is often seen challenging the traditional view of the hero or protagonist. The context, development and expressions of his youthful troupe, which are sometimes in autobiographical form, summon the audience to reimagine childhood and the American cultural experience in Brantley's created context of dark fiction.
Dark Fiction: Flowers & Frogs by Hebru Brantley will open Friday, September 9th from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and will run September 9 – October 22. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon – 6:00 p.m. Richard Beavers Gallery SoHo is located at 14 Wooster Street, New York, NY 10013.
Recognized internationally, HEBRU BRANTLEY has exhibited in Chicago, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York including Art Basel Switzerland, Art Basel Miami, Art Basel Hong Kong, and Frieze London. Brantley has been recognized in publications including CNN, the Chicago Tribune, Forbes, WWD, HypeBeast, Complex Magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the New York Post. Collectors of his work include LeBron James, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Lenny Kravitz, George Lucas, and Rahm Emanuel, among others. Brantley has collaborated with brands like Nike, Hublot, and Adidas.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — As Braylon Price remembers it, he struggled with pretty much everything the first full school year of the pandemic. With minimal guidance and frequent disruptions, he had trouble staying on top of assignments and finishing homework on time.
It was so rocky his parents asked for him to repeat sixth grade — a decision they credit with getting him on a better track.
"At first I didn't really want to do it," said Braylon, now 13. "But then later in the year I thought it would probably be better for me if I did."
The number of students held back for a year of school has surged around the country. Traditionally, experts have said repeating a grade can hurt kids' social lives and academic futures. But many parents, empowered by new pandemic-era laws, have asked for do-overs to help their children recover from the tumult of remote learning, quarantines and school staff shortages.
People are also reading…
Twenty-two of the 26 states that provided data for the recent academic year, as well as Washington, D.C., saw an increase in the number of students who were held back, according to an Associated Press analysis. Three states — South Carolina, West Virginia and Delaware — saw retention more than double.
Pennsylvania, where the Price family lives, passed a pandemic-era law allowing parents to elect to have a redo for their kids. The following year, the number of retained students in the state jumped by about 20,000, to over 45,000 students.
Braylon's mother has no regrets about taking advantage of the new law.
"Best decision we could have made for him," said Kristi Price, who lives in Bellefonte, in central Pennsylvania.
While the family's two daughters managed to keep up with school despite limited supervision, Braylon struggled. He went back to in-person school for the first full academic year of the pandemic but it was "wishy-washy," his mother said. Students were quarantined on and off, and teachers tried to keep up with students learning at home, online and in hybrid models. That winter, Braylon suffered a spinal cord injury from wrestling that forced him to go back to remote learning.
On his repeat of sixth grade, Braylon had an individualized education program that helped him build more focus. Having more one-on-one attention from teachers helped too. Socially, he said the transition was easy, since most of his friends had been in lower grades or attended different schools already.
Research in the education world has been critical of making students repeat grades.
The risk is students who've been retained have a two-fold increased risk of dropping out, said Arthur Reynolds, a professor at the University of Minnesota's Human Capital Research Collaborative, citing studies of students in Chicago and Baltimore.
"Kids see it as punishment," Reynolds said. "It reduces their academic motivation, and it doesn't increase their instructional advancement."
But backers of retention say none of the research was conducted in a pandemic, when many children wrestled with Zoom lessons and some stopped logging in entirely.
"So many children have struggled and have had a lot of problems," said Florida state Sen. Lori Berman, a Delray Beach Democrat. Berman authored a law aimed at making it easier for parents to ask for kindergarten to fifth graders to repeat a grade in the 2021-22 school year. "I don't think there is any stigma to holding your child back at this point."
Generally, parents can ask for children to be held back, but the final decision is up to principals, who make decisions based on factors including academic progress. California and New Jersey also passed laws that made it easier for parents to demand their children repeat a grade, although the option was only available last year.
In suburban Kansas City, Celeste Roberts decided last year for another round of second grade for her son, who she said was struggling even before the pandemic. When virtual learning was a bust, he spent the year learning at a slower pace with his grandmother, a retired teacher who bought goats to keep things fun.
Roberts said repeating the year helped her son academically, and his friends hardly noticed.
"Even with peers, some of them were like, 'Wait, shouldn't you be in third grade?' And he's just like, 'Well, I didn't go to school because of COVID,'" she said. "And they're kind of like, 'OK, cool.' You know, they move on. It's not a thing. So it's been really great socially. Even with the parent circles. Everybody's just like, 'Great. Do what your kid needs to do.'"

CHICAGO (AP) — Seventy-five immigrants bused from Texas by Gov. Greg Abbott have arrived in Chicago, the latest chapter of the bitter political battle over the immigration policy of President Joe Biden’s administration.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office confirmed that the group arrived Wednesday night and said the nation's third-largest city welcomes them. Abbott is busing the immigrants from Texas as part of a strategy launched this year to share the influx of people from outside the United States with cities that have Democratic mayors. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey also has adopted this policy.
At a news conference Thursday, Lightfoot called Abbott’s approach “racist and xenophobic” and said it added to the immigrants’ challenges. Lightfoot and officials with Cook County and the state of Illinois committed to helping the immigrants as they try to connect with family elsewhere or settle in Chicago.

“The governor’s actions are not just inhumane; they are unpatriotic,” Lightfoot said. “This cannot be who we are as Americans. We have to stand for a different and better set of principles. If we are going to be a leader in the world, on an international stage and even here at home, we must reject these policies and practices.”
Lightfoot said most of the immigrants are from Venezuela. Authorities have not said when they arrived in the U.S.
Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker also offered his support for the new arrivals in a message on Twitter that also drew on his family history.
“My great grandfather came to this country as an immigrant fleeing Ukraine in 1881. Immigrants just like my family seeking freedom and opportunity built this country,” he tweeted, while saying that the state was “working with federal and city officials to ensure that these individuals are treated with respect and safety.”
Abbott has now bused immigrants to Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. — all of which have Democratic mayors. He confirmed in a statement that the “first group” had been bused to Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported.
He suggested more would be arriving, saying in his statement that Chicago has become a drop-off location as a solution to what he called Biden’s “open border policies overwhelming border communities in Texas.”
Lightfoot said Chicago-area governments and community groups have been preparing for weeks in case Abbott sent immigrants here. She said she expects Abbott to follow through on his “threat” to bus more people here and pledged to continue supporting anyone sent to the city.
“He is manufacturing a crisis,” Lightfoot said. “If it continues, we will be ready.”
Abbott has been waging this battle for months and the mayors of New York and Washington have asked the Biden administration to help with what they describe as an increase in asylum-seeking migrants arriving from border states.
Earlier in the year, Abbott announced that state troopers would stop and inspect commercial vehicles crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a move he acknowledged would “dramatically slow” vehicle traffic near the U.S. ports of entry. He later eased that plan after massive gridlock at the border started to take an economic toll. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/texas-buses-75-migrants-to-chicago-in-political-battle/article_518bfe86-7d36-568f-89d0-b42bc5559c98.html | 2022-09-01T20:56:32Z | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/texas-buses-75-migrants-to-chicago-in-political-battle/article_518bfe86-7d36-568f-89d0-b42bc5559c98.html | true |

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday pledged 700 million pounds ($810 million) of government funding for a planned new nuclear power plant as part of a drive to improve the U.K.’s energy security.
Johnson said the spike in global gas prices driven by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine showed why more nuclear generation capacity was needed in the U.K.
The plant, called Sizewell C, is located on eastern England’s Suffolk coast. French energy company EDF, which will partly fund the project, has said it can generate low-carbon electricity for at least 60 years when the project is complete.
The plant will reportedly cost about 20 billion pounds ($23 billion). Britain’s government gave the greenlight for the plant in July, and talks about how to fund it are ongoing.
“Yes, nuclear always looks relatively expensive to build and to run,” Johnson said in his final major policy speech as prime minister. “But look at what’s happening today, look at the results of Putin’s war. It is certainly cheap by comparison with hydrocarbons today.”
Johnson added: “I say to you, with the prophetic candor and clarity of one who is about to hand over the torch of office, I say go nuclear and go large and go with Sizewell C.”
Johnson will formally leave office on Tuesday, handing power to either Foreign Secretary Liz Truss or former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak, the two finalists in the Conservative Party’s leadership race.
Many in Britain are looking to Johnson’s successor to announce urgent measures to help ease the financial pain for millions of people who will struggle to heat their homes this winter as household energy prices go up by 80% from October.
The U.K. wants to reduce its dependence on imported oil and gas and generate cheaper, cleaner power domestically.
The government has said it wants 95% of British electricity to come from low-carbon sources by 2030. | https://www.koin.com/news/international/ap-uks-johnson-pledges-millions-to-fund-new-nuclear-plant/ | 2022-09-01T21:00:34Z | https://www.koin.com/news/international/ap-uks-johnson-pledges-millions-to-fund-new-nuclear-plant/ | true |
Horned Frogs travel to Colorado to kick off Sonny Dykes era
TCU (0-0) at Colorado (0-0), Friday, 10 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Line: TCU by 13 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
Series record: First meeting.
WHAT´S AT STAKE?
The Horned Frogs kick off the Sonny Dykes era after hiring the longtime coach away from SMU to take over for Gary Patterson. Dykes went 30-18 in four seasons with the Mustangs. Dykes has a pair of quarterbacks he could use in Max Duggan and Chandler Morris. Duggan started 29 games the past three seasons and Morris started twice last year while Duggan was out with fractured foot. The Buffaloes have yet to name a quarterback. Incumbent Brendon Lewis has been competing against J.T. Shrout, who missed last season with a knee injury.
KEY MATCHUP

The Big 12 will begin its 27th season this week with some uncertainty of what will stand out offensively since there are three new head coaches and plenty of different skill players. (AP Photo/LM Otero, File)
S Mark Perry transferred to the Horned Frogs after a productive three seasons at Colorado. Perry had a team-best three interceptions for the Buffaloes. He will try to help keep in check Colorado receivers Daniel Arias and R.J. Sneed along with TE Brady Russell.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
TCU: The Horned Frogs secondary. The team recently had seven players named to the watch list for the Senior Bowl, including S Millard Bradford and CBs Noah Daniels and Tre´Vius Hodges-Tomlinson. Hodges-Tomlinson had two interceptions last season, one of which he returned for a score.
Colorado: TB Alex Fontenot, who will be the primary ball-carrier after Jarek Broussard transferred to Michigan State, led the Buffs in rushing in 2019.
FACTS & FIGURES
Although Colorado and TCU have never played on the football field, Dykes has history with the Buffaloes. He lost to the Buffaloes 41-24 in 2013 while coaching at California and beat Colorado the following year 59-56 in two overtimes. ... The Horned Frogs open their season on a Friday for the first time since 2011 when they lost 50-48 at Baylor. ... Colorado will honor late receiver Cliff Branch, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August. ... Colorado opens against a Power Five nonconference opponent for the first time since 1996.

BREST, France (AP) — Australia and France are strengthening their defense cooperation and deepening their diplomatic ties, officials said Thursday, as the two countries seek to heal wounds from a controversy over a secret submarine contract that infuriated France a year ago.
During his last stop on a European tour, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles assured France that his country is trying to “turn the page” and “move on” from the breakdown in relations.
The controversy erupted after Australia canceled a military contract with France that was worth billions of euros (dollars) and took its business instead to the United States and Britain.
“It’s critically important that our relationship moves forward with frankness, with respect and with honesty,” Marles said in a joint statement with his French counterpart, Sébastien Lecornu, in the western French port city of Brest.
The two ministers said they were committed to projects that will strengthen their joint defense capabilities and protect their “shared interests in a prosperous, resilient and secure” Indo-Pacific region.
They agreed to “enhance military cooperation,” including more robust joint military exercises, joint regional deployments, training activities and improved sharing of intelligence.
“Like all friendships, it has experienced ups and downs,” Lecornu, the French defense minister, said of their bilateral relations. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/ap-australia-france-deepen-defense-ties-after-breakdown/ | 2022-09-01T21:03:15Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/ap-australia-france-deepen-defense-ties-after-breakdown/ | true |

Donovan Mitchell pushes Cavs' climb in contender pecking order
Donovan Mitchell moving to Cleveland created a current with oddsmakers who now recognize the Cavaliers as something closer to contenders in 2022-23.
Acquired from the Utah Jazz, Mitchell has All-Star credentials and makes for a stellar backcourt sidekick for another All-Star, Darius Garland.
Books reacted instantly to the move on Thursday, with PointsBet lifting the Cavaliers' 2022-23 NBA title odds from +8000 to +3300 and DraftKings elevated Cleveland from 55-1 to 30-1 in the immediate aftermath of the news breaking.
The Cavaliers and Bulls are -110 to participate in the Eastern Conference play-in game in futures odds released by DraftKings.
Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and rookie Ochai Agbaji and three unprotected first-round picks go to the Jazz in the reported deal. Utah is downgraded dramatically in an offseason that looks a lot like a teardown by second-year team president Danny Ainge.
Ainge parted ways with head coach Quin Snyder -- technically, Snyder's contract wasn't renewed -- and traded Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
BetMGM removed the Cavaliers from the futures bets market on Thursday but previously listed Cleveland at +6600.
DraftKings dropped the Jazz from +20000 to +40000 without Mitchell.

GENEVA (AP) — Swiss police arrested two people Thursday in connection with a federal investigation into their suspected support for, or participation in, the banned Islamic State group, authorities said.
The police operation, which also involved searches of four houses in the Geneva and Vaud cantons, or regions, was part of a criminal case opened in July last year by the Swiss attorney general’s office.
The case centers on a Swiss-Macedonian dual national and a citizen of Kosovo, who lived separately in the two Swiss regions. The arrests were made in French-speaking western Switzerland.
The two suspects, who were not identified by name, were transferred to the Swiss capital, Bern, for questioning by the attorney general’s office, which will decide whether to keep them in custody pending trial.
Switzerland, whose policy of neutrality aims to keep it out of conflicts, has largely avoided the violent extremism that has swept across other parts of Europe. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/ap-swiss-police-nab-2-suspected-of-ties-to-islamic-state-group/ | 2022-09-01T21:05:47Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/ap-swiss-police-nab-2-suspected-of-ties-to-islamic-state-group/ | false |
Tia Mowry is sharing the type of beauty advice you'd want to receive from your sister, sister.
The former Disney Channel star opened up about why she's unapologetically embracing her gray hairs, which she said didn't really "come in heavy" until she reached her 40s.
"There are so many people on a daily basis that are not making it to the age where their hair starts to gray," she wrote in an essay for InStyle published on Aug. 31. "And so when I see my gray hair, it actually is a blessing because it means that, yes, I'm getting older and I'm still here."
She emphasized, "I don't take that lightly — I really, really don't."
"For the women who are struggling with going gray and getting older," the 44-year-old added, "the advice I would give is to start embracing or allowing your energy and the people in your space to be supportive."
Having a support system is crucial, Tia noted, explaining that they will be there to champion you on your beauty journey.
"It's so important to focus on the people around you who are supporting you to grow old gracefully," she encouraged, "as opposed to those who don't."
According to the Family Reunion star, there have been moments in her career where she felt pressured to look a certain way.
"When I was a child, I was surrounded by European standards," she revealed. "What society said beauty was, or what beauty was supposed to be, or what beauty looked like, is all based on that. So growing up, there were just no visuals or representation of someone who looked like me—Black girl with curly hair."
"That negative relationship with my hair went on for a very long time," she admitted, "until Instagram hit the scene in the 2010s. I started to see more girls like me."
She continued, "There was this amazing community of curly girls, and just Black women celebrating all the various textures and colors of their hair at every age. It changed my perspective on what beauty actually was and how it could be defined."
Later in life, when someone suggested Tia change herself for a role, she was confident enough to say no.
"Maybe about four or five years ago, I was working on a film, and someone on set told me, 'You really need to cover those gray hairs! Girls shouldn't be seen that way,'" she recalled. "And I said, 'No. I'm going to keep my gray hair. This is normal, this is what happens.'"
She continued, "Because at the end of the day, no matter what the trends are or what people tell me about how I should look, I define what beauty is for me. And for me, beauty is confidence, beauty is feeling good about yourself, beauty is embracing all of your flaws, and beauty is aging."
"Now, it's a celebration," she put it simply. "I am celebrating my uniqueness, I am celebrating who I am at every stage of my life." | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1344600/why-tia-mowry-is-unapologetically-embracing-her-gray-hair?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-09-01T21:08:05Z | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1344600/why-tia-mowry-is-unapologetically-embracing-her-gray-hair?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | true |
GRAPHIC: ‘Winnie the Pooh’ horror film releases first trailer
(CNN) - A beloved children’s tale is being reimagined into a disturbing horror film.
WARNING: The trailer contains graphic film footage and is not for kids.
The new trailer for “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” is out now.
A demonic-looking Pooh and Piglet have turned against their childhood friend Christopher Robin after apparently being abandoned by him when he went off to college.
According to director Rhys Waterfield, Christopher Robin’s absence made Pooh and Piglet’s lives quite difficult, and they’ve essentially become feral.
Waterfield told Variety the response to the trailer has been” absolutely crazy.”
The film was shot in 10 days in England.
Waterfield said they’re expediting the edit to get it through post-production as fast as possible. A release date has not yet been announced.

DENVER (AP) — Fed up with immense workloads, Colorado's public defenders launched a unionization drive on Thursday hoping to organize attorneys, paralegals, investigators, social workers, and administrative staff even though Colorado law blocks them from collective bargaining.
If successful, the Defenders Union of Colorado would join unions in Minnesota and Pennsylvania to become one of the few public defense staff unions in the country.
The effort to organize follows a chaotic year for courthouses in Colorado, with pandemic delays pushing backlogged jury trials handled by both public and private attorneys up from around 2,700 on a typical year to roughly 14,600 in 2021, The Denver Post reported.
“Every day you write yourself this to-do list that can't possibly be done in single day,” said Kiyomi Bolick, a lead deputy public defender and co-chair of the organizing committee.
Nearly 40% of regional managers for the state's public defender's office left their posts in the last 18 months, Bolick said.
“We are dropping like flies. People need hope. People need a reason to believe this is going to change," Bolick said.
The same effect has been felt across the country. Oregon's understaffed public defenders office begged private attorneys to take cases as some defendants sat jailed without representation for months while Minnesota's public defenders threatened a strike — a nearly unprecedented action for public defense attorneys — over high caseloads and low pay in March.
Partly in response to the havoc caused by the pandemic, President Joe Biden earlier this year took executive action attempting to ensure Americans have better access to legal representation, rebuilding services that decayed during the Trump Administration.
In Colorado, Bolick said around 750 employees would be eligible to join the Defenders Union of Colorado, affiliated with the Communications Workers of America, Local 7799.
Even though Colorado law doesn't offer judicial employees a legal avenue to collectively bargain, “our belief is that no one has to grant a worker the right to unionize,” said Bolick, “that is fundamental and has been born out of centuries of worker exploitation in our history.”
Maureen Cain, director of external communications for the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Those leading the charge hope they can build enough political momentum to pressure the state legislature to pass a law rolling back that prohibition and codifying the right to organize.
But “that doesn’t mean we are not allowed to actively take on campaigns to try and improve working conditions while we wait for the legislature to catch up,” said Bolick.
Similarly, a bill passed earlier this year opened the doors for some county workers in Colorado to unionize without first needing permission from their bosses.
That bill, however, was hard-fought. After receiving pushback from Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, the negotiations shrank the original intent to give over 250,000 workers the right to unionize down to only 40,000.
Bolick plans for the Defenders Union of Colorado to garner enough members to ratify their own bylaws and hold elections for a more formal structure by the end of the year.

8-year-old paralyzed in Fourth of July parade shooting may have ‘some cognitive loss,’ family says
(CNN) – The family of the 8-year-old boy left paralyzed from the Fourth of July mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, said he may have “some cognitive loss.”
Cooper Roberts is paralyzed from the waist down after being shot in the back and has undergone multiple surgeries.
His family gave an update on him Thursday, saying his rehabilitation team is seeing some patterns of behavior that may indicate cognitive loss.
They said he wasn’t well enough and not talking enough for the issues to be noticed sooner.
Therapists are seeing short-term memory loss, word recovery issues and loss of fine motor skills acuity.
The rehabilitation team is working with the family to assess long-term needs for Cooper after his eventual return home from the hospital.
Seven people were killed and dozens more were injured in the mass shooting during the Independence Day parade.

Gas prices decline ahead of Labor Day weekend; 20% lower than July
(Gray News) - After numerous price hikes at the pump, it looks like we are seeing a dip in prices continue as we approach the unofficial end of summer.
According to GasBuddy, gas prices ahead of Labor Day weekend are expected to be the lowest since March 3 and 20% lower than on Independence Day, at an average of $3.79 per gallon nationally.
The soaring gas prices seen earlier in the year threw a wrench into most of our road trip plans. GasBuddy reports gasoline demand over Independence Day weekend was notably lower than in 2021, and the decline in gallons used in recent weeks continues to push demand down along with prices.
“It was a dizzying time as gas prices surged ahead of summer, which caused many Americans to rethink their summer travel plans,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “As the sun sets on summer, gas prices are in far more familiar territory and could continue to decline well into fall.”
For those hitting the road as summer travel season comes to a close, market analysts recommend shopping around for the best prices.

DETROIT — Ford is recalling nearly 200,000 large SUVs in the U.S. because the heating and cooling fan motors can fail and catch fire.
The recall covers Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators from the 2015 through 2017 model years.
The Dearborn, Michigan, company says in government documents that it has reports of 25 fires caused by the motors, which are behind the glove box. Thirteen fires were limited to the blower motor area, while 12 involved extensive damage to the SUVs. Three fires damaged structures and one damaged another vehicle.
One person reported injuries to their hand and fingers, and all fire reports indicated that the vehicles were running at the time of the incident, Ford said in documents posted Thursday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The company says it’s not telling people to park the SUVs outdoors. It says some customers have reported inoperative fans, burning smells or smoke coming from the vents while the vehicle is on.
Dealers will replace the front blower motor assembly at no cost to owners, who will be notified starting Sept. 12.
It’s the second recent recall for the Expedition and Navigator due to problems that can cause fires.
In July, Ford expanded a May recall to 66,000 of the SUVs from the 2021 model year. The company told owners to park them outdoors due to a series of engine fires that could happen while the ignitions are off. Ford traced the cause to printed circuit boards that are susceptible to an electrical short. | https://www.mcall.com/business/ct-biz-ford-cooling-fan-20220901-c4mq5nw4j5h7tc2tee2z74ky24-story.html | 2022-09-01T21:19:20Z | https://www.mcall.com/business/ct-biz-ford-cooling-fan-20220901-c4mq5nw4j5h7tc2tee2z74ky24-story.html | true |

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — For at least the third time in a dozen years, portable toilets are parked outside the ornate Mississippi Capitol because Jackson's water system is in crisis.
The big “Gotta Go” trailer is just one example of the city's desperation. Many homes, businesses and government offices have had little or no running water this week, forcing people to wait in long lines for bottled water to drink or to flush toilets.
The scenes testify to the near collapse of a water system that residents could not trust even in the best of times. The failure to provide such an essential service reflects decades of government dysfunction, population change and decaying infrastructure. It has also fueled a political battle in which largely white GOP state lawmakers have shown little interest in helping a mostly Black city run by Democrats.
“We’re on a budget, and we have to go buy water all the time. All the time," said Mary Huard, whose child has been forced to shift to online schooling because in-person classes were called off due to weak water pressure.
Even before the pressure dropped, Jackson's system was fragile, and officials had warned for years that widespread loss of service was possible. A cold snap in 2021 froze pipes and left tens of thousands of people without running water. Similar problems happened again early this year, on a smaller scale.
Broken water and sewer pipes are also common in Mississippi's largest city. The Environmental Protection Agency told Jackson months ago that its water system violates the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
The crisis deepened after heavy rain last week flooded the Pearl River and exacerbated trouble at the main water-treatment plant during the weekend.
The lines for water formed at churches, fire stations, community centers and outside big-box stores.
Outside a high school, volunteers used a pump connected to a tanker to distribute water to people who showed up with whatever empty containers they could find. One woman brought a truck bed full of empty paint buckets. A school maintenance worker hauled away a garbage container with water sloshing over the sides.
When Gov. Tate Reeves and President Joe Biden declared the situation an emergency, residents had already been advised for a month to boil their water before doing everything from brushing teeth to boiling pasta.
Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said fixing the problems could cost billions of dollars — far beyond Jackson's ability to pay. That ability has been limited by a shrinking tax base that resulted from white flight, which began about a decade after public schools were integrated in 1970.
The population peaked in 1980 at nearly 203,000. It currently stands at about 150,000, with about 25% of residents living in poverty.
In the past half-century, the racial composition of Jackson has also changed. Once majority white, it is now more than 80% Black. The suburbs encircling Jackson are generally whiter and more prosperous and have newer infrastructure.
The mostly white, Republican-dominated Mississippi Legislature has been reluctant to offer assistance, even though the problems have disrupted daily life in the Capitol where lawmakers work for at least a few months every year.
The Democratic mayor and the Republican governor rarely speak to each other. And when Reeves held a news conference Monday to announce a state of emergency, Lumumba was nowhere to be seen. Reeves said he did not invite the mayor.
They held separate news conferences again Tuesday and Wednesday, although Lumumba insisted they are working as a team. By Thursday, the two finally appeared together.
“Right now, what we're focused on is the operational unity that we have,” Lumumba said as he stood by Reeves. “Operational unity means that we're focused more on our common ends and objectives than any differences that we may revealed at some point in time.”
Reeves frequently criticizes Jackson for its crime rate and has said the city's water problems stem from shoddy management.
“I know that the team at the state Department of Health as well as the EPA has been working tirelessly since 2016 trying to convince the city to come into compliance with the orders that have been put forth. They were generally unsuccessful at that,” Reeves said Monday.
Cecil Brown is a Democrat who represented part of Jackson in the Mississippi House for 16 years before serving on the state Public Service Commission. He urged city, state and congressional leaders to work together.
“If you don’t like each other, it’s OK, let’s say, 'If we can’t work together, let’s put our staff together,” Brown said in an interview Thursday.
The governor has blocked some efforts to alleviate the water woes. After the city hired a private contractor to handle water billing, some customers went months without receiving bills, while others skipped payments.
In 2020, Reeves vetoed legislation that would have let Jackson forgive at least a portion of the unpaid water bills for poor people.
Lumumba has complained that Mississippi, a state with almost a 40% Black population, is often overlooked by national Democrats and taken for granted by Republicans.
Criticism about the Jackson water debacle is not strictly partisan.
U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat whose district includes most of Jackson, said in mid-August that Jackson leaders had not provided specific proposals for improvements.
“The city fathers and mothers will have to step up, produce that plan that we can begin to sell from Jackson to Washington,” Thompson told television station WJTV.
An infrastructure bill signed into law last year by Biden is designed to address problems like Jackson's, but it's unclear how much of that money the Mississippi capital will receive.
At the same time, Mississippi is slashing taxes. This year, Reeves signed the state's largest-ever tax cut, which will reduce revenue by an estimated $185 million the first year and $525 million the final year.
The governor argued that cutting the income tax would “lead to more wealth for all Mississippians,” even as one of the poorest states in the nation struggles to support schools and rural hospitals.
Reeves has not said whether he will call a special session of the Legislature before January to consider aid for Jackson. Any proposals will face opposition from some Republicans who say the state should not rescue Jackson from its predicament.
But Republican state Sen. Brice Wiggins of Pascagoula, along the Gulf Coast, said he is willing to help if the aid includes an accountability plan.
“The state ‘bailing out’ the city after what appears to be decades long neglect & failed leadership violates my sense of accountability & conservative principles,” Wiggins wrote on Twitter. He added that he remembers government aid after Hurricane Katrina.
“In the end, it’s about the safety of Jackson’s citizens & its economic viability,” Wiggins said.
Even when Jackson is not under a boil-water notice, Sharon Epps said she buys bottled water for her family because she doesn't trust the tap water. She said her landlord replaced a broken line that spewed raw sewage into the back yard.
“When you can’t use the bathroom like you want to, and it’s floating in your back yard, that’s the saddest part about it. And then you can’t sit out in the back yard because it smells so bad,” Epps said. “It’s a disaster, baby.”

NASA captures first-ever direct image of planet outside our solar system
(CNN) – NASA’s newest telescope has captured its first image of a planet outside our solar system.
These are known as exoplanets, and the one pictured is called HIP 65426B.
The planet is known as a gas giant and has six to 12 times the mass of Jupiter. It’s also an interstellar baby at only 15 to 20 million years old.
In comparison, Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured four images, representing how the planet appears in four different bands of infrared light.
Scientists have known about the exoplanet, which is some 385 light years away, since 2017.
The new observation provides details like a water signature and evidence of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.
The Hubble telescope was the first device to capture direct images of exoplanets.

Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets global scrutiny
(AP) - Microsoft’s plan to buy video game giant Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion could have major effects on the gaming industry, transforming the Xbox maker into something like a Netflix for video games by giving it control of many more popular titles.
But to get to the next level, Microsoft must first survive a barrage of government inquiries from New Zealand to Brazil, and from U.S. regulators emboldened by President Joe Biden to strengthen their enforcement of antitrust laws.
In the United Kingdom, regulators on Thursday threatened to escalate their investigation unless both companies come up with proposals within five days to ease competition concerns. More than seven months after Microsoft announced the deal, only Saudi Arabia has approved it.
“A growing number of countries are subjecting major global transactions to deeper scrutiny,” said William Kovacic, a former chairman of the five-member U.S. Federal Trade Commission. “Many of the jurisdictions that are exercising that scrutiny are significant economies and can’t be brushed off.”
Microsoft has faced antitrust scrutiny before, most notably more than two decades ago when a federal judge ordered its breakup following the company’s anticompetitive actions related to its dominant Windows software. That verdict was overturned on appeal, although the court imposed other, less drastic, penalties on the company.
In recent years, however, Microsoft has largely escaped the more intense regulatory backlash its Big Tech rivals such as Amazon, Google and Facebook’s parent company Meta have endured. But the sheer size of the Activision Blizzard merger has drawn global attention.
The all-cash deal is set to be the largest in the history of the tech industry. It would give Microsoft, maker of the Xbox console and gaming system, control of popular game franchises such as Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Candy Crush. There’s also a growing sense that past review of Big Tech mergers was too lax — such as when Facebook bought Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014.
“Collectively, that means that the kinds of concessions you’re going to have to make become more difficult,” Kovacic said.
The possibility of Microsoft gaining control of Call of Duty has been particularly worrisome to Sony, maker of the PlayStation console that competes with Microsoft’s Xbox. In a letter to Brazilian regulators, Sony emphasized Call of Duty as an “essential” game — a blockbuster so popular and ingrained that it would be impossible for a competitor to develop a rival product even if they had the budget to do so.
The U.K. watchdog’s preliminary inquiry raised similar worries. It said Microsoft’s control of popular Activision Blizzard games raised concerns that the deal would hurt rivals in multi-game subscription services and the cloud gaming market.
One solution could be a settlement in which Microsoft agrees to ensure that console-making rivals such as Sony or Nintendo won’t be cut off from popular Activision Blizzard games. Microsoft has already publicly signaled its openness to that concept.
Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, has said the company committed to Sony to make Activision games like Call of Duty “available on PlayStation beyond the existing agreement and into the future” -- although many are skeptical about how long those promises would last if not set into regulatory consent decrees.
On the other hand, Microsoft also has a much better reputation in Washington than it did in 2000. It is “seen as more reasonable and sensible” on issues such as data privacy, Kovacic said.
Microsoft has also been working to win over skeptics in the U.S., starting with a labor union that’s been trying to organize Activision Blizzard employees. Democratic lawmakers have also expressed concern about allegations of Activision’s toxic workplace culture for women, which led to employee walkouts last year as well as discrimination lawsuits brought by California and federal civil rights enforcers.
In March, the Communications Workers of America had issued a call seeking tougher oversight of the deal from the U.S. Department of Justice, the FTC and state attorneys general. But a June 30 letter from the union to the FTC said it had switched to supporting the deal after Microsoft agreed “to ensure the workers of Activision Blizzard have a clear path to collective bargaining.”
Gaming represents a growing portion of Microsoft’s business, despite the company’s efforts to portray itself and Activision Blizzard as “small players in a highly fragmented publishing space,” per a document filed with New Zealand’s Commerce Commission.
In 2021, Microsoft spent $7.5 billion to acquire ZeniMax Media, the parent company of video game publisher Bethesda Softworks, which is behind popular video games The Elder Scrolls, Doom and Fallout. Microsoft’s properties also include the hit game Minecraft after it bought Swedish game studio Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.
The Redmond, Washington, tech giant has said the gaming acquisitions will help beef up its Xbox Game Pass game subscription service and its mobile offerings, particularly from Activision Blizzard’s King division, which makes Candy Crush.
Dutch game developer Rami Ismail said Microsoft’s subscription-based service has thus far been a positive for smaller game studios trying to get their content to users. But he’s unsure about the long-term impact of the merger.
“Xbox Game Pass as a product has been really good in getting interesting, creative games funded that might not have the normal market reach to be successful,” Ismail said. “On the flip side, as power consolidates, there is less of an incentive to do anything like that.”
Microsoft rivals are also consolidating. Sony in July closed on a $3.6 billion deal to buy Bungie Inc., maker of the popular game franchise Destiny and the original developer of Xbox-owned Halo. Take-Two Interactive, maker of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, in May completed a $12.7 billion deal to acquire mobile gaming company Zynga, maker of FarmVille and Words With Friends.

(Nasdaq: LMNL) ("Liminal BioSciences" or the "Company") announced today that it received confirmation from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the Company's application to transfer its common shares from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market, as allowed under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), had been approved.
The Company's common shares will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market effective at the start of trading on September 6, 2022. The Company's shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "LMNL". The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, and companies on the Nasdaq Capital Market must meet certain financial and corporate governance requirements to qualify for continued listing.
As previously disclosed on March 4, 2022, the Company had received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and had been granted a 180-day compliance period to comply with the minimum bid price requirement.
In connection with the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq granted the Company a second period of 180 calendar days, or until February 27, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing by achieving a closing bid price on Nasdaq of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days.
Nasdaq's decision to approve the Company's application to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market was based on the Company meeting the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the minimum bid requirement. The Company provided Nasdaq with its written intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the additional compliance period by implementing a reverse stock split, if necessary, prior to the expiration of the second compliance period.
The Company intends to continue to actively monitor its compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement and, evaluate available options to regain compliance.

Loodunnit? Female MPs' anger after Commons toilet is changed to gender neutral
- Mystery over sign installed by maintenance workers during the summer recess
- The sign featured the traditional silhouettes plus an third, gender-neutral figure
- Commons staff on one floor of the building had asked for a change of signage
Parliamentary authorities are under pressure to explain how a women’s lavatory was surreptitiously turned into an ‘inclusive’ facility open to anyone.
A sign appeared on the toilet door in the House of Commons in recent weeks, stating that men and transgender people could now use it, while the word ‘ladies’ was taped over.
The sign featured the traditional silhouettes of a man and a woman plus an third, gender-neutral figure.
It was installed by maintenance workers during the summer recess, but MPs and peers say they were not consulted.
A sign appeared on the toilet door in the House of Commons in recent weeks, stating that men and transgender people could now use it, while the word ‘ladies’ was taped over
Sources said some Commons staff members on one floor of the building had asked for a change of signage, but it was not part of a wider plan.
Last night the offending sign had been taken down while enquiries were under way to work out how it had been put up in the Grade I-listed building without proper approval. A Commons spokesman said: ‘We’re currently looking into the matter.’
It is understood a cross-party group of female MPs is planning to write to the Speaker to ask if the sign was authorised, and if so why they were not asked for their views on the removal of a lavatory that had been only for women.
One senior MP said: ‘It is concerning that this seems to have been done without consultation with any women.
‘And, as usual, women are just expected to make way when the men’s facilities retain their original door sign.’
It comes despite ministers speaking out against the spread of woke ‘gender-neutral’ toilets.
In July the then-equalities minister Kemi Badenoch announced that all new public buildings would have to have separate male and female lavatories, and told how she had had to fight against civil servants who tried to oppose the move.
Then Attorney General Suella Braverman declared that schools would be breaking the law if they let boys who identify as transgender go into girls’ toilets, because they had a duty to provide single-sex facilities. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11170773/Loodunnit-Female-MPs-anger-Commons-toilet-changed-gender-neutral.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-01T21:23:04Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11170773/Loodunnit-Female-MPs-anger-Commons-toilet-changed-gender-neutral.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
METRO CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments®* has announced monthly distributions and sources of distributions paid in September 2022 to shareholders of its seven closed-end funds (the Funds) pursuant to the Funds' respective distribution plans.
The following table provides estimates of Calamos Global Total Return Fund's and Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund's distribution sources, reflecting YTD cumulative experience. The Funds attribute these estimates equally to each regular distribution throughout the year.
Regarding Calamos' remaining five closed-end funds, which operate under a managed distribution policy: The information below is required by an exemptive order granted to the Funds by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and includes the information sent to shareholders regarding the sources of the Funds' distributions.
The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder. The Funds estimate the following percentages, of their respective total distribution amount per common share, attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain and (iv) return of capital or other capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount. These percentages are disclosed for the current distribution as well as the fiscal YTD cumulative distribution amount per common share for the Funds. The following table provides estimates of each Fund's distribution sources, reflecting YTD cumulative experience. The Funds attribute these estimates equally to each regular distribution throughout the year.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's plan.
If the Fund(s) estimate(s) that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099 DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Return figures provided below are based on the change in the Fund's Net Asset Value per share ("NAV"), compared to the annualized distribution rate for this current distribution as a percentage of the NAV on the last day of the month prior to distribution record date.
While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Monthly distributions offer shareholders the opportunity to accumulate more shares in a fund via the automatic dividend reinvestment plan. For example, if a fund's shares are trading at a premium, distributions will be automatically reinvested through the plan at NAV or 95% of the market price, whichever is greater; if shares are trading at a discount, distributions will be reinvested at the market price through an open market purchase program. Thus, the plan offers current shareholders an efficient method of accumulating additional shares with a potential for cost savings. Please see the dividend reinvestment plan for more information.
Important Notes about Performance and Risk
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. As with other investments, market price will fluctuate with the market and upon sale, your shares may have a market price that is above or below net asset value and may be worth more or less than your original investment. Returns at NAV reflect the deduction of the Fund's management fee, debt leverage costs and other expenses. You can purchase or sell common shares daily. Like any other stock, market price will fluctuate with the market. Upon sale, your shares may have a market price that is above or below net asset value and may be worth more or less than your original investment. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount which is a market price that is below their net asset value.

Virtual fitness challenge to inspire thousands to holoholo (go out) while benefiting the nonprofit Friends of Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge
HONOLULU, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling all runners, joggers and walkers to the starting line! Beginning today, athletes of all levels can sign up for the third annual Hawaiian Airlines Holoholo Challenge. The Hawaiʻi inspired fitness experience runs throughout October and invites participants worldwide to track their progress with virtual routes inspired by scenic roads that wind through Hawaiʻi Island – also known as the Big Island.
"Each year, the Holoholo Challenge has been a fun way for Hawaiʻi lovers to commit to their personal wellbeing while virtually exploring the Hawaiian Islands – no matter where they are in the world," said Rob Sorensen, vice president of marketing at Hawaiian Airlines. "The Big Island is considered a world-class destination for endurance fitness, making it the perfect place for Holoholo athletes to get inspired and go BIG with their challenges."
Participants can take on one of two virtual courses: a solo 50-mile run/walk on Saddle Road, the high-elevation highway that stretches from Hilo to Waimea, passing between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, or a 125-mile solo run/walk or team relay across the southern section of Hawai'i Belt Road, starting in the rainforests of Hilo, through Kaʻū, and ending in the lava fields of Kona. Holoholo Challengers will also be encouraged to donate to Friends of Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge, a nonprofit working to protect a 32,830-acre parcel on the Island of Hawaiʻi that is home to 29 critically endangered species including seven birds, one insect, one mammal and 20 plants found nowhere else in the world.
"The Holoholo Challenge continues to expose Hawaiʻi nonprofits to new audiences and bring awareness to their important role in sustaining our islands' environment, culture and communities. We are inspired by the Friends of Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge and excited to support their work," added Debbie Nakanelua-Richards, director of community and cultural relations at Hawaiian Airlines.
Those embarking on this year's month-long challenge can stay motivated by creating a team, printing a bib to add to their race memorabilia, challenging friends or working out to Spotify playlists curated by Hawaiʻi's hometown airline. Registrants can also learn about Hawaiʻi Island's rich culture, history and unique geography on the Holoholo Challenge website, sign up for regular emails notifying them of their progress along the digital route, and join the popular Holoholo Challenge community on Facebook. Participants posting about their journey on social media can also use #HoloholoChallenge for a chance to be featured on Hawaiian Airlines' channels.
Finishers of the challenge will receive a collectible Hawaiʻi Island Holoholo Challenge medal, a choice of a limited-edition apparel item and an exclusive postcard map designed by POW! WOW! Hawaii Artist Aaron Kai. Those who refer friends to join the Holoholo Challenge can earn up to 40,000 bonus HawaiianMiles. HawaiianMiles members and Hawaiian Airlines® Bank of Hawaii World Elite Mastercard® cardholders will receive 20% off registration. Cardholders can also earn three HawaiianMiles for every dollar spent during sign-up.
Hawaiian introduced the Holoholo Challenge in October 2020 to foster wellness and connection amid times of heightened isolation due to COVID-19 restrictions. The virtual race debuted with two Oʻahu courses and attracted nearly 12,000 participants from Hawaiʻi and the U.S. mainland who completed approximately 852,700 miles. In 2021, the carrier introduced four new Maui routes and brought in 8,333 participants who completed nearly 595,000 miles. Since the Holoholo Challenge's inception, participants have raised nearly $120,000 for nonprofits in Hawaiʻi.

The Astra SDK is a state-of-the-art, fully-built avatar design tool giving developers a robust character creation solution.
SALT LAKE CITY and VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tafi, the creator of Astra, the world-class 3D avatar creation engine, announced the public launch of their Astra SDK. With today's update, any developer has easy access to Astra to integrate it into their games and digital environments. Astra is built to save developers time and money while giving their users a powerful tool to create their perfect digital identity using Astra's massive 3D asset library. Creators can also integrate their own 3D assets designed in various 3D modeling software for nearly infinite possibilities for their users' avatars. Developers can sign up now to receive the SDK on the Astra website.
Astra is the most advanced avatar creation SDK on the market, providing a massive range of shapes and sizes of avatars not seen in other products, as well as powerful asset customization features. Astra's easy and cost-effective solution takes the hard work out of the avatar process, letting developers skip the daunting task of building out a system from scratch.
Astra has been in development for over five years and has been in private beta with over 30 developers integrating it into their games. Now, with the public launch, any developer looking for a powerful avatar engine rather than just a creator or editor will find Astra to be the best solution available to them.
Harold Dumur, CEO of Ova and StellarX, says about Astra, "When we were at the point of integrating an avatar system in our award-winning StellarX 3D content creation for the non-programmers and the non-pro-users, we knew we needed a best-in-class avatar system to meet the high expectations of our customers.
"We were thrilled to leverage Tafi's Astra SDK. It was the only solution that provided us with an end-to-end avatar system with tons of content. Moreover, the whole SDK integration took us less than a day. We could not be more pleased. Tafi's SDK is truly a game-changer."
Key features of Astra:
- A pre-built content library - users will have access to 1,000s of assets to build their perfect avatar
- Assets include clothes, hair, decals, morphables, and more
- The ability for creators to add their own 3D assets
- 3D assets fit any shape or size of avatar automatically with no poke-through
- A streamable asset system. No need to ship assets with developers' builds
- Solutions are performed quickly, client-side, allowing content to be distributed without precomputation
- A rich API for customizing avatars and querying assets
- Support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
"I've been designing avatars and the systems that create them for years, and Astra fills what I've found to be a gaping hole in the avatar creation market," said Ty Duperron, Chief Product Officer of Tafi. "The SDK's versatility, ease of integration and use, and diverse high-quality assets allow users to truly represent themselves in virtual spaces exactly how they want to be represented. Tafi is working to build a metaverse that is inclusive and as diverse as our users, and we've heard loud and clear that people spending time in these spaces value choice in their digital personas. Astra gives developers the ability to provide almost an endless number of choices to those users in their projects."
"Astra has been designed from the ground up for developers, by developers," said Jesse Janzer, Director of Technology at Tafi. "I'm very proud of this SDK because it gives creators of all skill levels a massive boost in building games and worlds with a diversity of avatars like we don't see at the moment. We work by the idea that whatever you can imagine is possible, and now we get to see exactly what talented developers can imagine. I couldn't be more excited for what creators will do with this."
Founded in 2019, Tafi's mission is to make personalized avatars and branded digital content available to everyone who wants to level up their digital personality. Partnering with mobile phone platforms and software applications, Tafi puts its world-class avatar content engine at your fingertips. Learn more at MakeTafi.com.

SANTA FE, N.M., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust (the "Trust") (NASDAQ: TBLD) today announced a monthly distribution of $0.10417 per share on the Trust's common shares, payable on September 20, 2022 to common shareholders of record as of September 12, 2022.
The Trust's monthly distributions are shown below:
Distribution rates are not performance and are calculated by summing the Trust's monthly distribution per share over four quarters and dividing by the net asset value or market price per share, as applicable, as of the distribution announcement date. Distributions on common shares are generally paid from net investment income (regular interest and dividends) and may also include capital gains and/or a return of capital. The Trust's distribution payable on September 20, 2022, does not include a return of capital but includes short-term capital gains in the amount of $0.02754 and long-term capital gains in the amount of $0.01642. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to the Trust's common shareholders on Form 1099 after the end of the 2022 calendar year. The final determination for all distributions paid in 2022 will be made in early 2023 and reported to you on Form 1099-DIV. You should not use this notice as a substitute for your 1099-DIV.
Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Trust is net income or profit. A distribution comprised in whole or in part by a return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Trust's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income." Future distributions may consist of a return of capital. For further information regarding the Trust's distributions, please visit www.thornburg.com/tbld-distributions.
The Trust's investment objective is to provide current income and additional total return. The Trust seeks to achieve its objective by investing, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of its managed assets in a broad range of income-producing securities. The Trust invests in both equity and debt securities of companies located in the United States and around the globe. The Trust may invest in non-U.S. domiciled companies, including up to 20% of its managed assets at the time of investment in equity and debt securities of emerging market companies.
As a registered investment company, the Trust is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Trust does not distribute to common shareholders by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Trust's fiscal year). In certain circumstances, the Trust may elect to retain income or capital gain to the extent that the Board of Trustees, in consultation with Trust management, determines it to be in the interest of shareholders to do so.
The common share distributions paid by the Trust for any particular period may be more than the amount of net investment income from that period. As a result, all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a partial return of the amount a common shareholder invested in the Trust, up to the amount of the common shareholder's tax basis in their common shares, which would reduce such tax basis. Although a return of capital may not be taxable, it will generally increase the common shareholder's potential gain, or reduce the common shareholder's potential loss, on any subsequent sale or other disposition of common shares.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Xoran Technologies® announces that the xCAT IQ™ was installed at the Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel earlier this month—it was approved by the Israeli Minister of Health and is now in use for cochlear implantation and oral and maxillofacial surgery. "The xCAT helped support five cases on the first day alone," states David Sarment, DDS, MS, Xoran President. "This milestone demonstrates the clear need for intraoperative imaging at this preeminent institution."
Xoran's xCAT IQ is a truly mobile cone beam CT system for soft tissue and bone imaging. With high resolution down to 70 microns and an extremely small footprint, the xCAT IQ is uniquely suited to meet the needs of the Hadassah clinicians.
"Because the xCAT is compact and easy-to-maneuver, we were able to wheel it back and forth from one operating theatre to another, enabling the surgeons to maximize patient access to low-dose intraoperative imaging," says Ronen Eitan, Xoran Europe distributor, Medi-Fisher.
Located in the operating rooms of the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower—named after Sarah Wetsman Davidson who started Hadassah's Detroit chapter in the early 1900s, the xCAT IQ was purchased for use by Michal Kaufmann-Yehezkeli, MD, head of the Ear Surgery and Cochlear Transplantation Center at Hadassah University Medical Center and Nardy Casap, DMD, MD, chairman of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Faculty of Dental Medicine, Jerusalem, Israel.
The first patient was an 18-month-old girl with single-sided lack of hearing. Thanks to the low dose protocol, a pre-surgical CT was obtained during a single general anesthesia, immediately followed by the placement of a cochlear implant. Another otology patient was imaged due to complications caused by a cholesteatoma in the presence of a total middle-ear prosthesis. Other maxillofacial cases included the immediate CT of a complex zygomatic fracture. Fracture reduction and stabilization were confirmed on the CT, and the surgeons were able to confirm anatomical symmetry prior to closing using Xoran's advanced 3D rendering software.
The implementation of xCAT IQ was largely facilitated by the efforts of Prof. Yoram Weiss, MD, Director General of the Hadassah Medical Organization.
Since the establishment of Hadassah's first hospital on Jerusalem's Neviim Street (Street of the Prophets) - a gift of the Rothschild family in 1918 - the Hadassah University Medical Center has expanded to include two University hospitals in Jerusalem - located on Mt. Scopus and in Ein Kerem. The flagship of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, the two hospitals have 1,000 beds, 31 operating theaters, nine specially oriented intensive care units, and five schools of allied medical professions, owned and operated in collaboration with the Hebrew University.
Hadassah's extensive network of satellite services provides community health care programs, specialized outpatient clinics and services in several city neighborhoods and nearby towns, as well as consultation clinics in the center of Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv.
Since 2001, Xoran is the pioneer and medical market leader in low-dose radiation, cone beam CT systems specifically designed for the patient's point-of-care. Providers around the world rely on our industry-leading MiniCAT™, xCAT™, and veterinary CT systems: VetCAT and vTRON, to diagnose and treat patients.
Xoran is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

'Demented' Putin decides to brainwash Russian children himself: Dictator claims USSR created Ukraine and repeats lie he went to war to protect 'ethnic Russians' in the Donbas - amid growing fears the Kremlin will invade neighbouring Moldova
- The President met selected schoolchildren from all over Russia in a classroom in Kaliningrad for the lesson
- Putin said he was shocked to learn children in east Ukraine did not know their country was part of the USSR
- Putin called the wave of protests that forced Ukraine's pro-Russian president from office in 2014 a 'coup'
- Kyiv dismisses the idea that Russian-speakers had been persecuted as a baseless pretext for the invasion
- Sergei Lavrov warned Moldova that threatening Russian troops in Transdniestria risked military confrontation
Vladimir Putin stressed the importance of teaching a Kremlin-approved version of history on Thursday and restated that he had been forced to send troops to defend the Russian-speakers of the Donbas region amid fears that Moldova may be next in his firing line.
The Russian President met selected schoolchildren from all over Russia in a classroom in Kaliningrad for the 'Talking about what's important' lesson that starts the school year nationwide.
In an hour-long question-and-answer session, Putin said he had been shocked to discover that children in east Ukraine did not know their country had been part of the Soviet Union with Russia and that correcting the record was a vital task.
He said that Russian Minister of Education Sergey Sergeyevich Kravtsov told him that children in the Russian-occupied Donbas 'don't know that the bridge to Crimea exists' and 'didn't even know that Ukraine and Russia were part of a united country.'
Putin called the wave of protests that forced Ukraine's pro-Russian president from office in 2014 a 'coup'.
In an hour-long question-and-answer session, Putin said he had been shocked to discover that children in east Ukraine did not know their country had been part of the Soviet Union with Russia and that correcting the record was a vital task
'Everybody thinks that some kind of aggression is coming from the Russian side today,' Putin said, in a televised session that verged on the awkward as a succession of children asked to shake his hand
'Everybody thinks that some kind of aggression is coming from the Russian side today,' Putin said, in a televised session that verged on the awkward as a succession of children asked to shake his hand.
'But nobody understands, nobody knows that, after the coup in 2014, the residents of Donetsk, a large part of Luhansk and Crimea did not want to recognise the coup,' Putin said. 'A war was started against them - and it was waged for eight years.'
He added: 'On the territory of today's Ukraine, they began to create an anti-Russian enclave that threatens our country.
'Therefore, our lads, who are fighting there, are protecting both the residents of the Donbas region, and defending Russia itself.
'Of course, this deserves full support from society - this is very important. From young people. The lads fighting there risk their life to do so.
'Many (of them) die. So, they must understand what they are giving their life for - and this is an extremely important thing: for Russia and for the people who live in the Donbas region.'
Shortly after President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kyiv, Russia seized and annexed Crimea, and backed rebels who succeeded in taking control of parts of Luhansk and Donetsk in east Ukraine.
Kyiv and its allies dismiss the idea that Russian-speakers had been persecuted as a baseless pretext for Moscow to try to seize more of Ukraine and topple President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Putin said it was important that schools in Russia and Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine teach the Moscow-approved curriculum - which largely disavows Ukraine's sovereignty and history as an independent nation since 1991

Putin said it was important that schools in Russia and Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine teach the Moscow-approved curriculum - which largely disavows Ukraine's sovereignty and history as an independent nation since 1991.
Since invading Ukraine, the Kremlin has pushed schools to be more patriotic: from Thursday, all pupils start the week with a flag-raising ceremony and the playing of the national anthem.
Putin also chaired a board meeting of a new government-created youth group drawing on the traditions of the Soviet-era Komsomol and Pioneers - youth wings of the Communist Party.
The still-unnamed group is the latest iteration of attempts to forge a nationwide pro-Kremlin youth movement.
Previous versions include the now-defunct 'Nashi' ('Our People'), which had more than 100,000 members at its height in the 2000s.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Moldova on Thursday that threatening the security of Russian troops in the breakaway region of Transdniestria risked triggering military confrontation with Moscow
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Moldova on Thursday that threatening the security of Russian troops in the breakaway region of Transdniestria risked triggering military confrontation with Moscow.
Russia has stationed peacekeeping troops in Transdniestria since the early 1990s, when an armed conflict saw pro-Russian separatists wrest most of the region from Moldovan control.
The government in Chisinau, stressing it was committed to peaceful dialogue over the future of the region, said it would summon the acting Russian ambassador to make clear its position.
Russia says its army is there to maintain peace and stability, but Moldova wants Moscow to withdraw its forces.
'Everyone should understand that any action that would threaten the security of our troops (in Transdniestria) would be considered under international law as an attack on Russia, as was the case in South Ossetia when our peacekeepers were attacked by (former Georgian President Mikheil) Saakashvili,' Lavrov said.
That incident, in 2008, resulted in a five-day war in which Russian forces seized several Georgian cities. Shortly afterwards, Moscow recognised South Ossetia and another Georgian breakaway territory, Abkhazia, as independent.
Transdniestria, which relies heavily on Moscow for support, reported a series of sporadic attacks in April, further raising tensions that were already high following Russia's intervention in Ukraine, which borders Moldova.
Daniel Voda, a spokesman for the Moldovan foreign ministry, said the rights of all minorities - including Russian-speakers - were guaranteed.
'Chisinau remains fully committed to a peaceful dialogue in (Transdniestria) and in calling Russia to withdraw troops stationed illegally on our territory. Any suggestion of a different approach is unfounded,' he tweeted.
In order to 'clarify the above,' he said, Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu had ordered that the acting Russia ambassador be called in. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11170539/Putin-decides-brainwash-Russian-children-Dictator-claims-USSR-created-Ukraine.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-01T21:31:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11170539/Putin-decides-brainwash-Russian-children-Dictator-claims-USSR-created-Ukraine.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
BEIJING (AP) — The U.N. accused China of serious human rights violations that may amount to “crimes against humanity” in a long-delayed report examining a crackdown on Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic groups. Beijing on Thursday denounced the assessment as a fabrication cooked up by Western nations.
Human rights groups have accused China of sweeping a million or more people from the minority groups into detention camps where many have said they were tortured, sexually assaulted, and forced to abandon their language and religion. The camps were just one part of what the rights organizations have called a ruthless campaign against extremism in the far western province of Xinjiang that also included draconian birth control policies and all-encompassing restrictions on people’s movement.
The assessment from the Geneva-based U.N. human rights office was released in the final minutes of High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet’s four-year term. It largely corroborated earlier reporting by researchers, advocacy groups and the news media, and it added the weight of the world body to the conclusions. But it was not clear what impact it would have.
Still, among Uyghurs who have fled overseas, there was a palpable sense of relief that the report had finally seen the light of day since many worried that it would never be published. Several saw it as a vindication of their cause and of years of advocacy work.
“The report is pretty damning, and a strong indictment on China’s crimes against humanity,” said Rayhan Asat, a Uyghur lawyer whose brother is imprisoned in Xinjiang. “It’s a really long-awaited recognition of the Uyghurs and their unimaginable suffering, coming from the world’s most authoritative voice on human rights.”
Human rights groups, the U.S., Japan and European governments also welcomed the report. It had become caught up in a tug-of-war between China and major Western nations as well as human rights groups that have criticized the repeated delays in releasing the document. Many Geneva diplomats believe it was nearly complete a year ago.
The assessment released late Wednesday concluded that China has committed serious human rights violations under its anti-terrorism and anti-extremism policies and calls for “urgent attention” from the U.N., the world community and China itself to address them.
Human rights groups renewed calls for the U.N. Human Rights Council, which meets next month, to set up an independent international body to investigate the allegations. But China showed no sign of backing off its blanket denials or portraying the criticism as a politicized smear campaign.
“The assessment is a patchwork of false information that serves as political tools for the U.S. and other Western countries to strategically use Xinjiang to contain China,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said. “It again shows that the U.N. Human Rights Office has been reduced to an enforcer and accomplice of the U.S. and other Western countries.”
In a sign of China’s fury, it issued a 122-page rebuttal, entitled “Fight against Terrorism and Extremism in Xinjiang: Truth and Facts,” that was posted by the U.N. along with the report.
The U.N. findings were drawn in part from interviews with more than two dozen former detainees and others familiar with conditions at eight detention centers. They described being beaten with batons, interrogated while water was poured on their faces and forced to sit motionless on smalls stools for long periods.
Some said they were prevented from praying — and were made to take shifts through the night to ensure their fellow detainees were not praying or breaking other rules. Women told of being forced to perform oral sex on guards or undergo gynecological exams in front of large groups of people.
The report said that descriptions of the detentions were marked by patterns of torture and other cruel and inhumane treatment and that allegations of rape and other sexual violence appeared “credible.”
“The extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim groups … in (the) context of restrictions and deprivation more generally of fundamental rights … may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity,” the report said.
It made no mention of genocide, which some countries, including the United States, have accused China of committing in Xinjiang.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken welcomed the report, saying in a statement that it “deepens and reaffirms our grave concern.” He added: “We will continue to work closely with our partners, civil society, and the international community to seek justice and accountability for the many victims.”
The rights office said it could not confirm estimates that a million or more people were detained in the internment camps in Xinjiang, but added it was “reasonable to conclude that a pattern of large-scale arbitrary detention occurred” at least between 2017 and 2019.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres believes the assessment “clearly identifies serious human rights violations in the Xinjiang region,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Thursday. He said the U.N. chief “very much hopes” China will follow recommendations in the assessment.
Beijing has closed many of the camps, which it called vocational training and education centers, but hundreds of thousands of people continue to languish in prison, many on vague, secret charges.
The report called on China to release all individuals arbitrarily detained and to clarify the whereabouts of those who have disappeared and whose families are seeking information about them.
“Japan is highly concerned about human rights conditions in Xinjiang, and we believe that it is important that universal values such as freedom, basic human rights and rule of law are also guaranteed in China,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said.
Germany and Britain also welcomed its publication.
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who is also the frontrunner in the contest to replace Boris Johnson as prime minister, noted that the report “includes harrowing evidence, including first-hand accounts from victims, that shames China in the eyes of the international community.”
Human Rights Watch said the report laid a solid foundation for further U.N. action to establish accountability for the abuses.
“Never has it been so important for the U.N. system to stand up to Beijing, and to stand with victims,” said John Fisher, the deputy director of global advocacy for the group.
Rahima Mahmut, U.K. director of the World Uyghur Congress, said she was relieved the report is finally out — but had no hope it would change the Chinese government’s behavior and called on the international community to send a signal to Beijing that “business cannot be as usual.”
That the report was released was in some ways as important as its contents.
Outgoing rights chief Bachelet said she had to resist pressure both to publish and not publish. She had announced in June that the report would be released by end of her four-year term on Aug. 31, triggering a swell in back-channel campaigns — including letters from civil society, civilians and governments on both sides of the issue.
Why she waited until the last minute to release the report remains unclear.
Critics had said a failure to publish the report would have been a glaring black mark on her tenure.
“The inexcusable delay in releasing this report casts a stain” on the record of the U.N. human rights office, said Agnès Callamard, the secretary-general of Amnesty International, “but this should not deflect from its significance.”

Jason Bachman does not plan to play the revenge card ahead of this week’s matchup with Heart of Illinois Conference large division rival Tremont.
“I do not know about that. We know we have to play better. We cannot afford to let what happened in the second half,” the Eureka head coach said.
In the 2021 meeting, the Turks scored late in the opening half then outscored the Hornets 32-0 in the second in a 48-17 victory at McCollum Field. The two 1-0 squads converge on Poorbaugh Field on Friday for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
Tremont rushed for 344 yards versus the Eureka defense in ’21.
Among the objectives for the visitors is to get the Turks into passing situations.
“I think that’s going to be the key,” Bachman simplified. “We were able to contain Canton’s running backs. With Tremont, you have a little bit of a dynamic with a double tight, double wing (T). We used to go up against that in practice. Now, we do not. That presents a lot of different problems.”
Junior wingback Ty Fuller gained 114 yards on 15 carries in the season opener, a 14-8 win over Sangamon Valley at Poorbaugh. The offensive line includes 270-pound senior Thomas Conn and classmates Alex Garcia and AJ Jones.
Eureka amassed 320 yards of total offense in a 25-7 triumph over the Little Giants.
Still, according to Bachman, the output could have been larger.
“We left some points on the board,” he explained. “I felt like my (offensive) line did a good job of opening up holes. From a passing perspective, we have to take what the defense gives us. We have to get back to more of a balance (attack).”
The Turks alternate between a 3-4 and 4-3 on defense. They held the Hornets to just 60 yards in the second half of the ’21 contest.
Although it is their first game in enemy territory of the new season, that should not deter a veteran Eureka bunch.
“They played really well on the road last year,” stated Bachman. “But, it’s a different year. It’s all about the mindset. They have to have that when they step off the bus.”
According to Bachman, the Hornets are thin at center. Junior starter Dax Marvin (knee) will miss the entire season, while his backup, sophomore Ryan Fuller, will be out Friday because of a knee injury.
Zach Zehr is in his seventh season at Tremont with a 25-18 record. Overall, he is 59-28 in 11 years. The Turks went 8-3 a season ago, but lost 35-12 at Farmington in the second round of the two A playoffs Eureka leads the all-time series 10 to eight. | https://pantagraph.com/community/wcj/sports/week-two-gridiron-preview-eureka-and-tremont-meet-in-division-opener/article_4b3b3e42-2a35-11ed-81c5-83dcf6729f55.html | 2022-09-01T21:33:01Z | https://pantagraph.com/community/wcj/sports/week-two-gridiron-preview-eureka-and-tremont-meet-in-division-opener/article_4b3b3e42-2a35-11ed-81c5-83dcf6729f55.html | true |

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro showed that he's already in tune with Erik ten Hag 's demands during the Red Devils' victory over Leicester City.
The Brazilian started on the bench at the King Power Stadium with a midfield trio of Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes all preferred. It means that the former Real Madrid star has been made to wait to make his full debut for the Red Devils since making his £59m move from the Spanish giants.
Despite having been initially been left out of the starting XI, Casemiro already appears to be in sync with Ten Hag's way of working at the club. During the first-half of the showdown in the East Midlands, he was sent out for a warm-up alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and compatriot Fred.
Just as he was watching proceedings, the ball went out of play and handed United a throw-in in their own half. Diogo Dalot picked the ball up and was preparing to restart play but before he could, Casemiro twice put his arm flat against his body with his palm out at a 90 degree angle.
Whilst the gesture could mean a lot, one would suspect it was either the Brazilian's way of suggesting to his teammate to either slow the game down and halt Leicester's momentum, or indeed to keep the ball on the floor from the resultant throw.
The latter would certainly tie into Ten Hag's ethos of keeping the ball and attempting to probe their opponents through possession as opposed to being slightly more direct, while his experience will no doubt help guide his United teammates.
Who was your man-of-the-match in Man United's victory against Leicester City? Share your thoughts in the comments below
It is certainly a promising sign that despite having only been at Old Trafford for just over a week or so that Casemiro already has a deep understanding of the demands of his new manager - something that is only going to bode well for the remainder of the season.
Ten Hag has already praised his new midfielder for his leadership skills and know-how and the Dutchman will certainly be keen for the Brazilian to continue showing those assets throughout his time as a Red Devil.
Speaking shortly after the Brazilian was signed, the United boss said: “He has won so many trophies in his career. He knows the road: how you win games and finally how you win trophies.
“We [now] have more players who have won already many trophies in their career. That has to be a guidance for the rest of the team so they know and they understand how to win games."
Ten Hag's men continued their positive form in the East-Midlands having claimed a first-half lead through Jadon Sancho.
Casemiro was eventually introduced as a second-half substitute by replacing Anthony Elanga just before the hour-mark as Leicester improved. | https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-leicester-casemiro-dalot-tenhag-27888350 | 2022-09-01T21:33:51Z | https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-leicester-casemiro-dalot-tenhag-27888350 | false |
CHILDERSBURG, Ala. (AP) — Michael Jennings wasn’t breaking any laws or doing anything that was obviously suspicious; the Black minister was simply watering the flowers of a neighbor who was out of town.
Yet there was a problem: Around the corner, Amber Roberson, who is white, thought she was helping that same neighbor when she saw a vehicle she didn’t recognize at the house and called police.
Within minutes, Jennings was in handcuffs, Roberson was apologizing for calling 911 and three officers were talking among themselves about how everything might have been different.
Harry Daniels, an attorney representing Jennings, said he plans to submit a claim to the city of Childersburg seeking damages and then file a lawsuit. “This should be a learned lesson and a training tool for law enforcement about what not to do,” he said.
A 20-minute video of the episode recorded on one of the officers’ body cameras shows how quickly an uneventful evening on a quiet residential street devolved into yet another potentially explosive situation involving a Black man and white law enforcement authorities.
___
“Whatcha doing here, man?” Officer Chris Smith asked as he walked up to Jennings, who held a hose with a stream of water falling on plants beside the driveway outside a small, white house.
“Watering flowers,” Jennings replied from a few feet away. Lawn decorations stood around a mailbox; fresh mulch covered the beds. It was more than an hour before sunset on a Sunday in late May, the kind of spring evening when people often are out tending plants.
But moments before, a woman had dialed 911 about a “younger Black male” and gold SUV that she saw at the house even though the owners were away, according to a call transcript obtained by The Associated Press.
Walking toward Jennings, Smith told him that a caller said she saw a strange vehicle and a person who “wasn’t supposed to be here” at the house.
Jennings told him the SUV he was talking about belonged to the neighbor who lives there.
“I’m supposed to be here,” he added. “I’m Pastor Jennings. I live across the street.”
“You’re Pastor Jennings?”
“Yes. I’m looking out for their house while they’re gone, watering their flowers,” said Jennings, still spraying water.
“OK, well, that’s cool. Do you have, like, ID?” Smith asked.
“Oh, no. Man, I’m not going to give you ID,” Jennings said, turning away.
“Why not?” Smith asked.
“I ain’t did nothing wrong,” the pastor replied.
___
Jennings, 56, was born in rural Alabama just three years after George C. Wallace pledged “segregation forever” at the first of his four inaugurations as governor. His parents grew up during a time when racial segregation was the law and Black people were expected to act with deference to white people in the South.
“I know the backdrop,” Jennings said in an interview with AP.
Meanwhile, the officers who confronted him on May 22 work for a majority-white city of about 4,700 people that’s located 55 miles (88 kilometers) southeast of Birmingham down U.S. 280. Most members of the city council and police department are white, as is the mayor, past police chief and current acting chief.
Jennings went into the ministry not long after graduating from high school and hasn’t strayed far from his birthplace of nearby Sylacauga, where he leads Vision of Abundant Life Ministries, a small, nondenominational church, when not doing landscaping work or selling items online. In 1991, he said, he worked security and then trained to be a police officer in a nearby town but left before taking the job full time.
“That’s how I knew the law,” he said.
___
As Jennings and Smith argued over whether the pastor needed to show an ID, another officer walked into view.
His voice rising, Jennings asked who called the police.
“You see a Black man out here watering his neighbor’s flowers and you think it’s something illegal,” Jennings said loudly.
“I’m not saying nothing about …,” Smith responded.
“You have no right to approach me if I ain’t did nothing suspicious or nothing wrong,” Jennings said, gesturing with his right hand and continuing to hold the garden hose with his left. With the officers also talking, he added: “You want to lock me up? Lock me up. I’m not showing y’all anything. I’m going to continue watering these flowers.”
About 35 seconds later, after warning that Jennings could be charged with obstruction for walking away, officer No. 2, identified in a police report as J. Gable, put the preacher in handcuffs.
“I like this,” Jennings told them. He added: “It’s already a lawsuit.”
___
Alabama law allows police to ask for the name of someone in a public place when there’s reasonable suspicion the person has committed or is about to commit a crime. But that doesn’t mean a man innocently watering flowers at a neighbor’s home must provide identification when asked by an officer, according to Hank Sherrod, a civil rights lawyer who reviewed the full police video at the request of the AP.
“This is an area of the law that is pretty clear,” said Sherrod, who has handled similar cases in north Alabama, where he practices.
Giving police the same name he routinely uses as the minister of a Black church, where ecclesiastical titles are important, Jennings identified himself, without any prompting, as “Pastor Jennings” within seconds of Smith’s approach. That might have been adequate for someone steeped in the culture of Black Christianity, but it wasn’t for white police officers.
The video shows the officers repeatedly accusing Jennings of failing to identify himself.
___
Cuffed and seated between two shrubs on the front stoop of his neighbor’s home, Jennings told Smith and Gable that his son, a university athletics administrator, had been wrongly detained recently in Michigan after a young woman at a cheerleading competition said a Black man had hugged her.
“My son just got arrested and profiled,” he said. The incident, which didn’t result in any charges, happened about two months before Jennings’ confrontation with Alabama police, he told the AP.
A third Childersburg officer, identified as Sgt. Jeremy Brooks in a report, arrived while Smith was complaining loudly that Jennings wouldn’t listen and Gable was all but screaming at the pastor.
“You have to identify yourself to me,” Gable yelled.
“No, I don’t,” Jennings retorted repeatedly.
Smith returned to his patrol car while the argument continued. What Jennings said then is inaudible on the video, but a police report quotes him as telling Brooks: “Stop talking to me like I’m a boy.” But Jennings told the AP that he said something very different: “I told him, ‘I’m a full-grown man. You don’t talk to me like that, boy.’”
Whatever was said, it was enough for Smith.
“You know what? 10-15,” he shouted, using the police radio code for a prisoner in custody. “I ain’t going to sit there and have that, dude.”
___
Apart from the recent experience of his son, Jennings said he felt “anger and fear” during the entire episode because of the accumulated weight of past police killings — George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others — plus lower-profile incidents and shootings in Alabama.
“That’s why I didn’t resist,” he said.
And, Jennings said, he already had experience dealing with suspicious white police officers in the racially integrated neighborhood where he and his family have lived for seven years.
Not long after moving in, he said, an officer cruised down the street while Jennings was out by the street checking the mail. The officer pulled over to question Jennings, explaining that he was responding to a caller’s claim that a Black man was going through mailboxes in the area, according to the preacher.
“I told him it was my house,” Jennings said. “He just went on.”
___
Jennings was already in the back of a patrol car by the time Roberson, the white woman who called police, emerged. Jennings, she told officers, was a neighbor and a friend of the home’s owner, Roy Milam.
“OK. Does he have permission here to be watering flowers?” Smith asked.
“He may, because they are friends,” she replied. “They went out of town today. He may be watering their flowers. It would be completely normal.”
Milam told the AP that was exactly what happened: He’d asked Jennings to water his wife’s flowers while they were camping in the Tennessee mountains for a few days.
Watering flowers wasn’t the problem, Smith told Roberson. The issue, he said, was Jennings’ refusal to provide identification after acting “suspicious.”
Realizing that she’d called police because one neighbor was watering another’s flowers, Roberson said: “This is probably my fault.”
A few moments later, officers told Roberson that a license plate check showed the gold sport utility vehicle that prompted her call in the first place belonged to Milam. They got Jennings out of the patrol car and he told them his first and last name.
“I didn’t know it was him,” Roberson told police. “I’m sorry about that.”
___
The officers spent much of their remaining time on the scene in a discussion that began with a question from Smith: “What are we going to do with him?”
After weighing different options, they settled on a charge of obstructing governmental operations that was thrown out within days in city court. The police chief who sought the dismissal after reviewing the 911 call and bodycam video, Richard McClelland, resigned earlier this month. Officials haven’t said why he quit, but city attorney Reagan Rumsey said it had nothing to do with what happened to Jennings.
Childersburg’s interim police chief, Capt. Kevin Koss, didn’t return emails seeking comment.
But the three officers, standing along the street as Jennings sat handcuffed in a police vehicle, talked among themselves about what happened.
“I said, ‘If you’ll just listen to me. You’re being audio and video recorded, and what we’re trying to do is identify yourself and find out what’s going on,’” Brooks, Smith’s supervisor, said on the video. “He wouldn’t even let me. He wanted to yell over me and say we’re racial profiling and talking to him like he’s a boy.”
Moments later, Smith walked around the house to the spot where Jennings had been watering flowers and shut off the spigot to the hose.
“I mean, all he had to do was identify himself,” he told Brooks.
“That’s it,” Brooks said.
“Jesus,” Smith muttered.
___
Michael Jennings is still friends with Milam, the neighbor with the flowers. Milam, who is white, said he feels bad about what happened, and the two men will continue watching out for each other’s homes, just as they’ve done for years.
“He is a good neighbor, definitely. No doubt about it,” Milam said.
Jennings also spoke recently with Roberson for the first time since the arrest. In the video, the handcuffed pastor assured her he would still be buying a graduation present for her son even though he wasn’t going to be able to make the party she invited him to.
Jennings, who lives less than a third of a mile from the police station, said he hasn’t seen any of the three officers who were involved in his arrest since that day. He believes all three should be fired or at least disciplined.
“I feel a little paranoid,” he said.
Nonetheless, he still waves at police cars passing through his neighborhood, partly out of the Christian call to be kind to others.
“You’re supposed to love your neighbor, no matter what,” he said. “But you’ve heard the saying, ‘Keep your enemies close to you, too.’”

GENEVA (AP) — Swiss police arrested two people Thursday in connection with a federal investigation into their suspected support for, or participation in, the banned Islamic State group, authorities said.
The police operation, which also involved searches of four houses in the Geneva and Vaud cantons, or regions, was part of a criminal case opened in July last year by the Swiss attorney general’s office.
The case centers on a Swiss-Macedonian dual national and a citizen of Kosovo, who lived separately in the two Swiss regions. The arrests were made in French-speaking western Switzerland.
The two suspects, who were not identified by name, were transferred to the Swiss capital, Bern, for questioning by the attorney general’s office, which will decide whether to keep them in custody pending trial.
Switzerland, whose policy of neutrality aims to keep it out of conflicts, has largely avoided the violent extremism that has swept across other parts of Europe. | https://www.fox16.com/news/world-news/ap-international/ap-swiss-police-nab-2-suspected-of-ties-to-islamic-state-group/ | 2022-09-01T21:34:56Z | https://www.fox16.com/news/world-news/ap-international/ap-swiss-police-nab-2-suspected-of-ties-to-islamic-state-group/ | true |
LONDON (AP) — Britain’s outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday pledged 700 million pounds ($810 million) of government funding for a planned new nuclear power plant as part of a drive to improve the U.K.’s energy security.
Johnson said the spike in global gas prices driven by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine showed why more nuclear generation capacity was needed in the U.K.
The plant, called Sizewell C, is located on eastern England’s Suffolk coast. French energy company EDF, which will partly fund the project, has said it can generate low-carbon electricity for at least 60 years when the project is complete.
The plant will reportedly cost about 20 billion pounds ($23 billion). Britain’s government gave the greenlight for the plant in July, and talks about how to fund it are ongoing.
“Yes, nuclear always looks relatively expensive to build and to run,” Johnson said in his final major policy speech as prime minister. “But look at what’s happening today, look at the results of Putin’s war. It is certainly cheap by comparison with hydrocarbons today.”
Johnson added: “I say to you, with the prophetic candor and clarity of one who is about to hand over the torch of office, I say go nuclear and go large and go with Sizewell C.”
Johnson will formally leave office on Tuesday, handing power to either Foreign Secretary Liz Truss or former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak, the two finalists in the Conservative Party’s leadership race.
Many in Britain are looking to Johnson’s successor to announce urgent measures to help ease the financial pain for millions of people who will struggle to heat their homes this winter as household energy prices go up by 80% from October.
The U.K. wants to reduce its dependence on imported oil and gas and generate cheaper, cleaner power domestically.
The government has said it wants 95% of British electricity to come from low-carbon sources by 2030. | https://www.fox16.com/news/world-news/ap-international/ap-uks-johnson-pledges-millions-to-fund-new-nuclear-plant/ | 2022-09-01T21:35:04Z | https://www.fox16.com/news/world-news/ap-international/ap-uks-johnson-pledges-millions-to-fund-new-nuclear-plant/ | false |
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. — A lawyer for a 14-year-old Wisconsin boy accused of killing a 10-year-old girl after luring her into the woods said Thursday that he will seek to have the case moved from adult to juvenile court.
During a brief Zoom appearance in Chippewa County Circuit Court, attorney Michael Cohen said he planned to file the request in the coming weeks. Judge Benjamin Lane found probable cause during the hearing to proceed to trial after the teen waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
The boy, identified in court documents only as C.T.P.-B, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of sexual assault. He is accused of killing Iliana Peters, known as Lily, the night of April 24 after persuading her to leave a trail and explore the surrounding woods as she was riding her bike home from her aunt’s house in Chippewa Falls. Searchers found her body the next morning.
The boy appeared with Cohen from the juvenile detention center where he is being held on $1 million cash bond. Anyone who is at least 10 years old and is accused of first- or second-degree homicide is considered an adult in Wisconsin’s court system.
The boy told investigators that he was riding his hoverboard alongside Lily and he intended to sexually assault and kill her, according to the criminal complaint. He told investigators that after they left the trail, he punched her, hit her with a heavy stick and strangled her until she died, then sexually assaulted her body, according to the complaint.
Lane set a status conference for Sept. 29 to set a schedule for the hearing that will determine whether the case is moved to juvenile court.

NEW YORK (AP) — Iga Swiatek is winning easily — and quietly.
At this U.S. Open, even the world’s No. 1 player is a distant No. 2 as long as Serena Williams is still around.
“Yeah, that’s kind of her time right now,” Swiatek said. “I’m just, you know, playing and focusing on that, and that’s the most important thing for me.”
The two-time French Open champion easily beat 2017 U.S. Open winner Sloane Stephens 6-3, 6-2 on Thursday in the second round for her WTA Tour-leading 50th victory this season.
A day after Williams eliminated No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit, with No. 3 Maria Sakkari losing earlier Wednesday, Swiatek perhaps looms as an even bigger threat to win a seventh title this year, something nobody has done since Williams in 2014. Past U.S. Open champions Naomi Osaka and Emma Raducanu have also been eliminated, along with 2021 runner-up Leylah Fernandez.
Swiatek came to the U.S. Open just 4-4 since the end of her 37-match winning streak earlier this year, but has dropped just eight games through two rounds. She needed only 1 hour, 14 minutes to beat Stephens, having no trouble with her first match in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
“Honestly, I just tried to have the same kind of motivation or attitude as any other court, because it’s the best way for me to perform good,” Swiatek said.
Williams resumes what could be her final singles tournament Friday. First, she was due back on Ashe to begin the night session Thursday along with big sister Venus for their women’s doubles match against the Czech duo of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova.
Four-time champion Rafael Nadal was following them against Fabio Fognini.
Other winners Thursday included No. 8 Jessica Pegula, No. 13 Belinda Bencic and No. 26 Victoria Azarenka, who didn’t get a handshake from Marta Kostyuk after beating the Ukrainian player.
Azarenka is from Belarus, which helped Russia launch its invasion of Ukraine.
“I just don’t think it’s the right thing to do in the circumstances I’m in right now,” Kostyuk said of a handshake, instead offering only a racket tap at the end.
No. 11 Jannik Sinner and No. 15 Marin Cilic, the 2015 U.S. Open champion, advanced, but No. 25 Borna Coric was upset by American Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 7-6 (10), 6-1. Brooksby reached the fourth round at Flushing Meadows as a 20-year-old last year, winning a set from Novak Djokovic.
Pegula was due back on the court later Thursday to join Coco Gauff for their first-round doubles match. The No. 2 seeds were to play Fernandez and Daria Saville.
The 18-year-old Gauff is also still alive in singles, but Pegula didn’t think they would consider dropping out of doubles to save their energy.
“No, we just want to win the tournament, I think,” she said. “I think both of us do. Her, she’s never tired. She’s so young, anyways.”

Micron will invest $15 billion though the end of the decade on a new semiconductor plant in its hometown that the chipmaker said will create 17,000 American jobs.
Sanjay Mehrotra, president and CEO of Boise, Idaho-based Micron, said his company’s investment was made possible by last month’s passage of the CHIPS and Science ACT of 2022, a $280 billion bill aimed at bolstering U.S. competitiveness against China and avoiding another chip shortage like the one that derailed the auto and tech industries during the pandemic.
The CHIPS law sets aside $52 billion to bolster the semiconductor industry, which due to COVID-related supply chain constraints beginning in 2020, has struggled to manufacture the diminutive chips that power everything from smartphones to computers to automobiles.
“Our new leading-edge memory manufacturing fab will fuel U.S. technology leadership, ensuring a reliable domestic supply of semiconductors that is critical to economic and national security,” Mehrotra said.
Micron said locating the manufacturing plant at the company’s operational headquarter will improve efficiency and help get products to market faster.
Boise Mayor Lauren McLean said the partnership will help the city’s economy grow and attract and diverse workforce.
“This is a once in a generation investment in Boise from a home-grown company that is critical to the economic vitality of our community, our state and our nation,” McLean wrote on Twitter.
McLean and Mehrotra last month attended President Biden’s bill signing ceremony for the CHIPS and Science Act. Idaho’s entire congressional delegation, all Republicans, voted against it.
Biden called the Micron announcement “another big win for America.”
Micron is one of Idaho’s largest employers. The company has several chip manufacturing plants around the world, including in Singapore and Taiwan.
Last week, the chipmaker Intel Corp. announced that it would break ground Sept. 9 on its planned $20 billion Ohio semiconductor facilities. The factories, known as fabs, are expected to open in 2025. President Biden is scheduled to attend the groundbreaking.

SANTA FE, N.M., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust (the "Trust") (NASDAQ: TBLD) today announced a monthly distribution of $0.10417 per share on the Trust's common shares, payable on September 20, 2022 to common shareholders of record as of September 12, 2022.
The Trust's monthly distributions are shown below:
Distribution rates are not performance and are calculated by summing the Trust's monthly distribution per share over four quarters and dividing by the net asset value or market price per share, as applicable, as of the distribution announcement date. Distributions on common shares are generally paid from net investment income (regular interest and dividends) and may also include capital gains and/or a return of capital. The Trust's distribution payable on September 20, 2022, does not include a return of capital but includes short-term capital gains in the amount of $0.02754 and long-term capital gains in the amount of $0.01642. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to the Trust's common shareholders on Form 1099 after the end of the 2022 calendar year. The final determination for all distributions paid in 2022 will be made in early 2023 and reported to you on Form 1099-DIV. You should not use this notice as a substitute for your 1099-DIV.
Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Trust is net income or profit. A distribution comprised in whole or in part by a return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Trust's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income." Future distributions may consist of a return of capital. For further information regarding the Trust's distributions, please visit www.thornburg.com/tbld-distributions.
The Trust's investment objective is to provide current income and additional total return. The Trust seeks to achieve its objective by investing, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of its managed assets in a broad range of income-producing securities. The Trust invests in both equity and debt securities of companies located in the United States and around the globe. The Trust may invest in non-U.S. domiciled companies, including up to 20% of its managed assets at the time of investment in equity and debt securities of emerging market companies.
As a registered investment company, the Trust is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Trust does not distribute to common shareholders by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Trust's fiscal year). In certain circumstances, the Trust may elect to retain income or capital gain to the extent that the Board of Trustees, in consultation with Trust management, determines it to be in the interest of shareholders to do so.
The common share distributions paid by the Trust for any particular period may be more than the amount of net investment income from that period. As a result, all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a partial return of the amount a common shareholder invested in the Trust, up to the amount of the common shareholder's tax basis in their common shares, which would reduce such tax basis. Although a return of capital may not be taxable, it will generally increase the common shareholder's potential gain, or reduce the common shareholder's potential loss, on any subsequent sale or other disposition of common shares.

R. Crumb, the bespectacled, gray-bearded artist who is regarded around the world as granddaddy of underground comics, has taken on what might be his biggest subject ever: the first book of the Bible.
Crumb's new comic, The Book of Genesis Illustrated, contains all 50 chapters of Genesis and comes with a warning on its cover: "Adult Supervision Recommended for Minors."
The warning is not just because of the relentless sex that peppers the story, but also, as Crumb explained at a press conference in Paris, because of the "violence" and "nastiness" of the story:
"[It's about] ruling elites, victimizing people in sadistic ways, which is human beings at their nastiest. They have power over others, and they derive pleasure from inflecting pain on other humans. That's about as nasty as people get," he said.
French publisher Jean-Luc Fromental, who's been a Crumb fan since he was a kid, says that at first he couldn't imagine what Crumb would do with the Bible.
"To me, only way Crumb could get to this was through blasphemy," he says. "Gradually the pages came in, and [I] understood the nature of what he was trying to do, which is to reread the whole text from a humanistic point of view without changing a single word, without adding a single written commentary to the whole thing, but using only his graphic art."
Crumb spent four years working up his illustrations, during which time he studied both ancient and modern translations of Genesis and also researched parallel Babylonian and Sumerian myths. But as fellow cartoonist and French resident Gilbert Shelton sees it, the brilliance of Crumb's Genesis is in the art.
"His technique is rich, rich as any draftsman I know," says Shelton. "[The images are] just fascinating in their clarity. He's an artist's artist."
The characters in The Book of Genesis Illustrated are all vintage Crumb: women with the breasts and hips of a young Sophia Loren; men who are hairy, hungry animals. (Check out an excerpt of the first book, in which God creates the universe.)
During an hour-and-a-half press conference about the book, Crumb was repeatedly questioned about his spiritual views and his belief in the Bible. A woman from Finland asked the artist if he believes in God.
"I'm a Gnostic — someone who seeks knowledge of God," Crumb responded. "There's some force that rules our destiny: This is obvious. But what it is — this is a mystery we cannot possibly understand."
Taking the Bible as a sacred truth, however, is another matter: "The idea that people for a couple thousand years have taken this so seriously seems completely insane and crazy, totally nuts. But the human race is crazy if nothing else," Crumb said.
Crazy story, perhaps, but the initial print run exceeds 100,000 books around the world — a figure unheard of in comic-book land.

TEXAS, USA — A recent Gallup poll asking Americans about their tendencies towards vices like alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana shows that Americans are now smoking more weed than tobacco.
The poll states about 16% of Americans say they currently smoke marijuana, while about 48% say they have tried it at some point in their life. That's much higher than when Gallup first asked about marijuana in 1969, when only 4% of Americans aid they had tried marijuana.
That 16% is also more than double what Gallup reported in 2013, when about 7% of Americans said they currently smoke marijuana.
That's higher in their poll than the total number of American cigarette smokers. About 11% of American adults reported smoking tobacco, which is a new low since Gallup began conducting the poll in the 1930s. About three in 10 nonsmokers say they used to smoke. The highest percentage of cigarette smokers, according to Gallup, was 45% in the mid-50s.
Alcohol still remains the king of vices in America, however. The poll found about 45% of Americans said they have had an alcoholic drink within the past week, and another 23% said they use it occasionally, while the remaining third say they totally abstain from alcohol.
Gallup polling research shows Americans generally find the impact of marijuana less negative than the impact of tobacco, with more than half of Americans saying marijuana's effect on those who use it is positive. The public appears to be 50/50 on whether weed has a positive or negative effect on society. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/national/poll-finds-more-americans-smoking-weed-cigarettes/287-ac08159e-c24a-434f-b33a-f0704777f522 | 2022-09-01T21:42:10Z | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/national/poll-finds-more-americans-smoking-weed-cigarettes/287-ac08159e-c24a-434f-b33a-f0704777f522 | true |
The 307-unit project from Subtext and Brinkmann Constructors will bring modern living to popular Midtown area
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Subtext, a St. Louis-based integrated real estate development company, and Brinkmann Constructors, a St. Louis-based national general contractor, held an official groundbreaking ceremony on August 30, 2022 for LOCAL Midtown, a 15-story multifamily project in Midtown Nashville. LOCAL Midtown is expected to be completed and open for leasing in 2024.
Located at 1904 Hayes Street, the 270,000-SF residential complex will contain 307 total units with a mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. The modern design by architect Dynamik Design features 10,000 SF of total amenity space. Amenity highlights include a curated coffee bar and micro market on the first floor, a music studio and recording booth on the fifth floor, and several unique spaces on the sixth floor – media lounge, speakeasy, collaboration spaces, gaming room, fitness center with coach-led classes, library and outdoor amenity deck with a swimming pool. The 15th floor features a sky lounge and deck with sweeping views of downtown Nashville. A five-level covered parking garage will be available to residents.
"Our goal—as with our other developments in dynamic growth cities— is to create a residential community that supports how urban residents want to live, work and socialize," said Brandt Stiles, Principal of Development, Subtext. "The massive growth in millennial population in Nashville means there is demand for beautiful, thoughtfully designed multifamily properties. But rather than just delivering a new building, we want to close a gap between residents' desire for social connection and the actual experience of it."
Using innovative exteriors, such as faux acrylic brick, the Brinkmann team was able to reduce the structure cost through creative and insightful preconstruction engineering. And a revised foundation system reduced the cost as well as the schedule and potential unknowns of the site geography.
"Brinkmann is thrilled to be continuing our valued partnership with Subtext to bring LOCAL Midtown to Nashville," said Brian D. Satterthwaite, President of Brinkmann Constructors. "Our relationship works to create unique living spaces for communities."
Nashville's millennial population continues to soar, increasing by nearly 15% since 2014 and accounting for 30.4% of its population in 2019. With population growth comes a much greater demand for new, modern multifamily developments.
Brinkmann and Subtext recently completed LOCAL Boise, a seven-story multifamily building in downtown Boise, Idaho. The LOCAL Midtown project marks the first foray in Nashville for both firms.
About Subtext
Subtext is dedicated to providing an exceptional living experience in all of the communities we design and build. By approaching each step of the development process with passion and attention to detail, we are able to deliver our projects with pride and complete confidence in their quality. Open conversations and strong relationships with local partners allow us to create communities that benefit not only residents, but also the neighborhoods in which they exist.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boutique apparel brand HappyDic has launched a new collection of must-have tee shirts alongside a bold campaign to raise funds for global charities. Inspired by recent events in Ukraine the first collection features a small woven Ukraine flag detail on the right sleeve so wearers can quietly signal their support.
Accounting for 10% of all retail sales, Streetwear is now estimated to be worth over $185 billion. One of the most striking retail and fashion trends to have emerged in the last three decades.
Combining this ubiquitous style statement with the current global mission to be more sustainable and ethically responsible, HappyDic are taking evolving Streetwear one step further by introducing politics, culture, ethics and global responsibility into its mix. HappyDic streetwear is a statement of cultural engagement, ethical responsibility and a desire to support local apparel industries.
The exciting debut collection features original artwork that fuses iconic gaming characters with globally recognized dictators. "Maorio", fuses the legendary Mario character from Nintendo with Chairman Mao, the Chinese communist revolutionary turned dictator. The former North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il is merged with Donkey Kong to create "Donkey Jong". The leader of the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara becomes "Princess Peaché". And Joseph (pronounced "Yo-seef" in Russian) Stalin is mashed with Yoshi to produce "Yoshif". Each graphic Tee becomes a graphic statement and a talking point.
Made in the USA, HappyDic's tees are a luxury streetwear apparel brand with ethical values. Mindful of excessive production, HappyDic produces all their tee shirts in small batches which are then lovingly packaged with biodegradable and recyclable materials in their San Francisco studio.
Every HappyDic sale will contribute either all or a part of the proceeds to a designated charity selected from the highly trusted Charity Navigator. The first limited edition collection will see 100% of net proceeds go to charities actively helping Ukrainian refugees including HIAS, UNICEF, CARE and HOPE.
HappyDic's tees are available on white or black cotton in sizes Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. Each tee is made with premium quality heavyweight 100% combed ring-spun American cotton. Retailing for $100.00.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – The recently passed federal law to fight climate change includes provisions to help Americans save money.
Some rebates are available now because they are extensions of existing programs and tax credits can be written off when you file your 2022 taxes.
Americans can now access thousands of dollars to make their homes more energy efficient.
David Smedick with RMI, a non-profit that focuses on clean energy, explained “the Inflation Reduction Act, especially for the building sector, has the opportunity to be just a massive game changer.”
Advocates say the rebates and tax credits the new law provides put major home efficiency upgrades within reach for many consumers.
“A low-income household could receive $14,000 for energy electrification retrofits in their house,” Smedick said.
Smedick says low- and middle-income Americans can use that money to install heat pumps, insulation and electrical wiring.
Plus, a 30% tax credit is available for installing solar panels and energy-efficient windows, doors and appliances — things the American Clean Power Association says bring more savings.
“You’re using less power at home, that means you’re saving on your electricity bill,” Heather Zichal of the American Clean Power Association said.
However, Richard Meyer with the American Gas Association says the Inflation Reduction Act falls short, saying there are “provisions that focus exclusively on electric equipment without really focusing on whether it improves overall energy efficiency or reduces greenhouse gas emissions.”
Some question if small savings on energy bills justify the high cost of the upgrades, but supporters say the savings will be especially helpful to people who are replacing aging and broken systems. | https://cw33.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/inflation-reduction-act-to-offer-rebates-for-energy-efficient-home-upgrades/ | 2022-09-01T21:46:59Z | https://cw33.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/inflation-reduction-act-to-offer-rebates-for-energy-efficient-home-upgrades/ | true |

DENVER — Months after acquiring the franchise quarterback in a trade, the Denver Broncos have signed Russell Wilson to an extension potentially worth up to $245 million.
Wilson's five-year extension includes $165 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The $165 million in guaranteed salary is the third-highest figure in NFL history, behind Deshaun Watson ($230 million) and Kyler Murray ($189.5 million). Wilson is slated to make an average of $49 million per season under his new extension, the second-highest average in the league behind Aaron Rodgers' $50.2 million per season.
Wilson will make $24 million in 2022 and $27 million next year before the multi-year extension kicks in.
KING 5 SEASON PREVIEW: All of our stories breaking down the 2022 Seahawks
Schefter said the former Seahawks franchise quarterback is now tied to Denver for seven total years and $296 million.
The Seahawks traded Wilson on March 8 to the Broncos for quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fourth-round pick and a fifth-round pick.
Seahawks owner Jody Allen, general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll released statements in March that clearly indicated Wilson first expressed a desire to move on from Seattle. Wilson, meanwhile, told reporters the decision to trade him was "mutual."
Wilson has played his entire career with the Seahawks, totaling 37,059 passing yards in 10 seasons. Wilson's 292 career touchdown passes are the second-most ever in a quarterback's first 10 NFL seasons behind Peyton Manning (306), according to ESPN. The only two players with more touchdown passes than Wilson are Tom Brady (324) and Rodgers (317) over the past 10 years.
Under Wilson's tutelage, the Seahawks made the playoffs in eight seasons and won the franchise's only Super Bowl in 2013. Seattle, who won an average of 10 games each season, was one play away from clinching another Super Bowl title in 2014.
Backup Geno Smith was named the Seahawks' starting quarterback for the 2022 season, with Lock as his primary backup. Neither quarterback has thrown for over 3,100 passing yards in a season, a mark Wilson accomplished in each season with the Seahawks.
Wilson's first game as a Bronco is slated for Sept. 12 against his former team in a nationally televised game.
The Broncos have had 11 different starting quarterbacks in the six seasons since Peyton Manning retired. Denver hasn't made the playoffs since its Super Bowl victory in 2015.
The new extension signals the team's hope that Wilson, who missed just three games in a decade, brings stability to the league's most important position. | https://www.kgw.com/article/sports/nfl/broncos-sign-former-seahawk-russell-wilson-245-million-extension/281-4ea691ce-49fb-4ace-b120-91994b3024ce | 2022-09-01T21:50:34Z | https://www.kgw.com/article/sports/nfl/broncos-sign-former-seahawk-russell-wilson-245-million-extension/281-4ea691ce-49fb-4ace-b120-91994b3024ce | false |
AAM to become the retail distribution arm of SLC Management in the U.S.
TORONTO, WELLESLEY, Mass. and MONUMENT, Colo., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Sun Life Financial Inc. (TSX: SLF) (NYSE: SLF) today announced that it intends to acquire a majority stake in Advisors Asset Management, Inc. ("AAM"), a leading independent U.S. retail distribution firm, through SLC Management, Sun Life's institutional fixed income and alternatives asset manager. AAM will become the U.S. retail distribution arm of SLC Management.
AAM provides a range of solutions and products to financial advisors at wirehouses, registered investment advisors ("RIA's") and independent broker-dealers. AAM will have exclusive rights to market and promote SLC Management's specified alternative investment products to the U.S. retail market. AAM oversees $41.4 billion (approximately C$55 billion) in assets as of July 31, 2022. With 10 offices across eight U.S. states, AAM has a team of more than 270 professionals.
Sun Life will acquire a 51% interest in AAM for US$214 million (approximately C$280 million) subject to customary adjustments with a put/call option to acquire the remaining 49% starting in 2028. As part of the transaction, Sun Life is committing to invest up to US$400 million to launch SLC Management alternative products for the U.S. retail market to be distributed by AAM.
"We're thrilled that AAM will be joining SLC Management," said Steve Peacher, President, SLC Management. "We've seen a sustained increase in demand for alternatives from the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth market as they look to add new sources of yield and total return."
"We've been looking to enter into the retail distribution segment for some time now. Adding AAM to our platform allows us to extend our set of world class alternative investment capabilities to new clients and expands the roster of investment solutions that AAM can offer to the U.S. financial advisor market," added Peacher.
With the growing demand among high-net-worth ("HNW") investors for alternative assets in the U.S., the acquisition of a majority stake in AAM will allow SLC Management and its affiliated investment managers, BentallGreenOak, Crescent Capital Group and InfraRed Capital Partners, to offer their investment strategies to the U.S. HNW market. The transaction is also strategic for AAM, which will expand its product roster to include a range of alternative products in commercial real estate, private credit and infrastructure.
"We see significant potential in the alternatives space to deliver steady, reliable returns for our clients, which has been AAM's mission as a trusted resource for financial professionals for more than 40 years," said Scott Colyer, CEO, Advisors Asset Management. "As we sought to diversify and gain a greater foothold within alternatives, it was crucial to identify a best-in-class partner that shared the same client-focused and team-oriented culture as ours. SLC Management's common values and interest in establishing a durable, long-term partnership figured heavily into the decision to join forces with one of the premier alternatives asset managers in the world."
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Evercore acted as financial advisor to Sun Life for this transaction and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as legal counsel. For AAM, Berkshire Global Advisors acted as financial advisor and Chapman and Cutler LLP acted as legal counsel.

Today the members of the National Council for Suicide Prevention launched a new "Take 5 to Save Lives" suicide prevention campaign in recognition and support of World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) -- an annual, global event observed on September 10. The campaign's main tool, www.take5tosavelives.org, encourages everyone to complete several action steps to prevent suicide using 5 important themes: LEARN, KNOW, DO, TALK, and SHARE.
- LEARN the warning signs, risk factors, & protective factors of suicide
- KNOW how to help yourself and others who may be struggling
- DO raise awareness, volunteer, & practice self-care
- TALK about suicide, dispel myths, & reduce stigma
- SHARE Take 5 to Save Lives with others
"The purpose of the Take 5 to Save Lives campaign is to unite people everywhere in suicide prevention and our goal is to encourage everyone to get involved in suicide prevention in 5 simple steps," said Dr. Dan Reidenberg, Managing Director of the NCSP. "The causes of suicide are complex, but getting involved in the suicide prevention movement doesn't have to be," according to Reidenberg.
"We wanted to create an informative and engaging campaign to highlight the most important ways we can prevent suicide," said Jennifer Owens who manages the Take 5 program for the NCSP. The Take 5 to Save Lives campaign was designed to be shared with colleagues, friends, family, social groups and on social media using the Take 5 Toolkit. On the website you can also find flyers, the Take 5 logo, and sample social media text and images to make sharing the campaign easy.
Take 5 to Save Lives organizers believe the new themes and prevention-focused activities will make it easy for people to get involved and this year promotional materials are also available in Spanish for the first time to continue to expand the accessibility in other languages and create materials that are culturally sensitive and responsive. If you are interested in helping translate the Take5 program into other languages please contact jowens@save.org.

Judge declines to overturn Elizabeth Holmes guilty verdict
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday tentatively declined to overturn the jury conviction of disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes on four felony counts of fraud and conspiracy. That leaves the former Silicon Valley star a step closer to serving prison time.
U.S. District Judge Edward Davila won’t make that decision final until Oct. 17, when he is scheduled to sentence Holmes in the same San Jose, California, courtroom where a jury found her guilty of duping investors in her much-hyped blood-testing startup.
Holmes, 38, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, plus restitution, for lying to investors about a Theranos technology she hailed as a revolution in healthcare but which in practice produced dangerously inaccurate results.
Amy Saharia, one of Holmes’ lawyers, tried to persuade Davila that the jury of eight men and four women had acted irrationally during their seven days of deliberations. The judge concluded that the jurors drew reasonable inferences from evidence presented at the trial, although he said he would still review some cases Saharia presented before making a final decision.
Thursday’s 90-minute hearing marked the first time Holmes has returned to the court since her Jan. 3 conviction. The verdict ended a nearly four-month trial that recounted Holmes’ remarkable rise from a Stanford University dropout in 2003 to a lionized entrepreneur once worth $4.5 billion before it all unraveled in 2015.

WASHINGTON – A retired New York Police Department officer was sentenced on Thursday to a record-setting 10 years in prison for attacking the U.S. Capitol and using a metal flagpole to assault one of the police officers trying to hold off a mob of Donald Trump supporters.
Thomas Webster's prison sentence is the longest so far among roughly 250 people who have been punished for their conduct during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021. The previous longest was shared by two other rioters, who were sentenced separately to seven years and three months in prison.
Webster, a 20-year NYPD veteran, was the first Capitol riot defendant to be tried on an assault charge and the first to present a self-defense argument. A jury rejected Webster's claim that he was defending himself when he tackled Metropolitan Police Department officer Noah Rathbun and grabbed his gas mask outside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Webster, 56, to 10 years in prison plus three years of supervised release. He allowed Webster to report to prison at a date to be determined instead of immediately ordering him into custody.
“Mr. Webster, I don't think you're a bad person,” the judge said. “I think you were caught up in a moment. But as you know, even getting caught up in a moment has consequences."
Webster turned to apologize to Rathbun, who was in the courtroom but didn’t address the judge. Webster said he wishes he had never come to Washington, D.C.
“I wish the horrible events of that day had never happened,” he told the judge.
The judge said Rathbun wasn't Webster's only victim on Jan. 6.
“The other victim was democracy, and that is not something that can be taken lightly,” Mehta added.
Federal prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of 17 years and six months. The court’s probation department had recommended a 10-year prison sentence. Mehta wasn't bound by the recommendations.
In a court filing, prosecutors accused Webster of “disgracing a democracy that he once fought honorably to protect and serve.” Webster led the charge against police barricades at the Capitol’s Lower West Plaza, prosecutors said. They compared the attack to a medieval battle, with rioters pelting officers with makeshift projectiles and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
“Nothing can explain or justify Mr. Webster's rage. Nothing can explain or justify his violence,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Hava Mirell said Thursday.
Defense attorney James Monroe said in a court filing that the mob was “guided by unscrupulous politicians" and others promoting the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from the Republican incumbent. He questioned why prosecutors argued that Webster didn't deserve leniency for his 25 years of service to his country and New York City.
“That is not how we measure justice. That is revenge,” Monroe said.
In May, jurors deliberated for less than three hours before they convicted Webster of all six counts in his indictment, including a charge that he assaulted Rathbun with a dangerous weapon, the flagpole.
Also Thursday, a New Jersey man pleaded guilty to using pepper spray on police officers, including one who later died. Officer Brian Sicknick suffered a stroke the day after the riot and died of natural causes. He and other officers were standing guard behind metal bicycle racks as the mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.
Julian Khater, 33, pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon. He could face up to 20 years in prison, though will likely face a sentence ranging from about 6 1/2 to 8 years at a hearing set for December.
The case against Khater and a second man have been among the more notable brought by the Justice Department. George Pierre Tanios brought the pepper spray in a backpack. Tanios previously pleaded guilty and is also set to be sentenced in December.
Webster had testified at trial that he was trying to protect himself from a “rogue cop” who punched him in the face. He also accused Rathbun of instigating the confrontation.
Rathbun testified that he didn’t punch or pick a fight with Webster. Rathbun said he was trying to move Webster back from a security perimeter that he and other officers were struggling to maintain.
Rathbun’s body camera captured Webster shouting profanities and insults before they made any physical contact. The video shows that Webster slammed one of the bike racks at Rathbun before the officer reached out with an open left hand and struck the right side of Webster’s face.
After Rathbun struck his face, Webster swung a metal flag pole at the officer in a downward chopping motion, striking a bike rack. Rathbun grabbed the broken pole from Webster, who charged at the officer, tackled him to the ground and grabbed his gas mask, choking him by the chin strap.
Webster drove alone to Washington, D.C., from his home near Goshen, New York, on the eve of the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally, where Trump addressed thousands of supporters. Webster was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a Marine Corps flag on a metal pole when he joined the mob that stormed the Capitol.
Webster said he went to the Capitol to “petition” lawmakers to “relook” at the results of the 2020 presidential election. But he testified that he didn’t intend to interfere with Congress’ joint session to certify President Joe Biden 's victory.
Webster retired from the NYPD in 2011 after 20 years of service, which included a stint on then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s private security detail. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1985 to 1989 before joining the NYPD in 1991.
