There is a new class of profiteers in the investment world, and you, the typical American, are paying the price for their virtue-filled scheme. Wall Street elites have been pushing the adoption of corporate metrics, referred to as Environmental, Social and Governance, to assess how much good or bad a company is bringing to society. Interestingly, only the far-left socialist causes qualify as “good.”
While advocates of ESG promise a better, healthier and happier future, the policies they support through manipulated investments cause more harm than good. “E,” or environmental investments, are shifting financial support away from the technologies that have led to our greatest environmental improvements. These “E” investments — like solar and wind energy projects — are also leading to a less reliable, more expensive energy grid, making it increasingly ill-equipped to deal with predictable weather patterns.
“S,” or social investments, are turning boardrooms into activists pushing companies to invest in politically divisive campaigns, like defunding the police.
The “G,” or governance investments, encourage race or gender-based hiring quotas and subject employees to anti-racism training premised on labeling co-workers as either the oppressors or the oppressed based on skin color.
Economic and financial researchers recently found that ESG is not only used as a justification for poor business performance but also as a cover for bad compliance records. Turns out companies are sensitive about moral failings like relying on supply chains that involve slave, forced or child labor, but instead of directing capital to address them, they shift their money to ESG funds and then brag about their ESG score with high-end marketing. How virtuous.
Furthermore, investment houses like Blackrock, Vanguard and Fidelity entrusted by pensioners and retirees to maximize the value of hard-earned dollars are producing lower returns because of their focus on ESG.
Financial professionals, which non-experts entrust to maximize their future value, are setting aside their fiduciary duties in pursuit of woke politics.
In the legal world, clients could sue lawyers for incompetence. In the financial world, retirement and pension-fund managers can be sued for betraying their duty to pursue the financial interests of beneficiaries. The Department of Labor, however, is working to change this and excuse poor financial behavior if it was done to pursue virtuous goals like climate change, diversity or other ESG-approved factors. There is very little recourse for the individually felt consequences of ESG investment decisions. Because, well, they were “doing the right things” or purportedly trying to.
Whether investing in your future retirement or children’s college fund, how much are you willing to sacrifice for the emotional benefit of the financially elite? If the answer is zero, steer clear of ESG investing schemes. And if you care about the environment, drink water from a reusable plastic bottle. It does more to tangibly help the environment than ESG investing, and it comes at a significantly lower cost.

Police urge vigilance after UK visitor robbed of $500,000
With a 14.5 per cent spike in robberies this year, the police are urging the public to be more vigilant, especially when in possession of large sums of cash. The appeal comes after a near doubling of reports of armed robbery in the Kingston Central...
With a 14.5 per cent spike in robberies this year, the police are urging the public to be more vigilant, especially when in possession of large sums of cash.
The appeal comes after a near doubling of reports of armed robbery in the Kingston Central Police Division, the latest of which occurred last Friday when a man visiting from the United Kingdom (UK) was held up and robbed of half a million dollars and his travel documents.
A relative of the victim told The Gleaner that the man had left the bank with the cash and stopped at a shop at the intersection of Rum Lane and Wildman Street in downtown Kingston, when he was robbed by men who had been posing as customers.
According to the relative, when the matter was reported to the Kingston Central Police Station, the cops said that they had been getting a lot of reports of cash stolen after persons leave a particular financial institution.
“When we go down there, the police said, ‘Again? Everybody coming here about that bank …’ ,” she said. “The bank gave him (relative) three weeks to come and pick up the money. When the three weeks come, he went for it and them rob him.”
The man was reportedly trailed by men travelling in a car after he left the financial institution.
When he made a stop at a shop, a man entered and reportedly ordered an orange juice then left.
“Same time now, mi see two come and say dem want two cold juice … . Then push the gun at his head and tek the $500,000 from him. Passport, everything gone,” the relative told The Gleaner.
The Kingston Central Police Division has recorded a 93 per cent year-on-year increase in robberies up to August 29. Since the start of the year, 29 robberies have been committed in the division, compared to 15 for the corresponding period in 2021, making it the division with the second highest percentage increase.
St Elizabeth, which has seen 44 robberies between January 1, 2022 and August 29, 2022, recorded a 238.5 per cent year-on-year jump.
The largest decline is in the St Mary Police Division, falling from 13 last year to six in 2022 – a 53.8 per cent plunge.
In terms of the number of incidents, the Manchester Police Division comes out on top with 76 cases, while Hanover came in at the other end with just two robberies.
A senior officer told our newsroom that the number of robberies could be much higher as sometimes they get wind of some incidents which were not officially reported by victims.
“Sometimes they are embarrassed to say how much was stolen and they think nothing will come of it. We have had recoveries and several arrests have been made and persons placed before the court,” the senior crime fighter told The Gleaner.
Crooks also made off with an undetermined sum of cash and travel documents after snatching a handbag from a parked vehicle in the Constant Spring area two weeks ago.
The Gleaner understands that the victim’s travel plans were delayed after her green card and passport were lost.
The matter was reported to the police and the Passport, Immigration & Citizenship Agency. Some of the documents were later recovered after combing the area.
Tips from police on transporting cash
1. Money in transit is vulnerable. When possible, use a cash-transit company, particularly for large sums of money.
2. If you choose to transport cash on your own, consider the following to reduce the risk of falling prey to criminals:
• Assign more than one well-trained person to the task.
• Company uniforms should not be worn, but if they are, they should be covered by other clothing.
• Avoid using public transport.
3. If using private transport, keep the doors locked at all times.
4. Avoid quiet streets and vary the route and time of travel.
5. Do not advertise the fact that you are carrying cash.
6. Ensure the time of return is known so an alarm can be raised if necessary.
7. Be aware of drivers of vehicles or people behaving suspiciously.
8. Do not put yourself at risk. Hand the money over if you are confronted. | https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20220902/police-urge-vigilance-after-uk-visitor-robbed-500000 | 2022-09-02T05:32:07Z | https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20220902/police-urge-vigilance-after-uk-visitor-robbed-500000 | false |

Purdue’s home opener against Penn State is the first game of a 14-week college football TV production tour for the members of the Fox Sports “Big Noon” crews.
Two pairs of massive, 53-foot-long trailers flank either side of Ross-Ade Stadium, each housing its own conglomerate of sports entertainment production specialists and millions of dollars in equipment. They rolled onto campus Sunday night.
The camp alongside Northwestern Avenue, the studio side, serves as the mobile control center for the Big Noon Kickoff team responsible for the pre-game, halftime and post-show. Right outside the southwest corner of the end zone are two other production units on the game side where the Big Noon Saturday team operates.
Members of large production crews are often freelance workers like Drew Ruggles, a video engineer who spent this summer overseas working on World Cup Qualifiers. Ruggles said he got into doing full-time freelance work “on a whim.” He quit his job, called up ESPN and has been freelancing for the last 10 years without looking back.
Ruggles said at that level of the industry, a small pool of specialists is recruited by large networks to be part of various sporting event productions throughout the year.
Those positions are essential to shows like Fox’s Big Noons, and each has its own section in the trailer, including video and audio engineers, comms specialists, live video editors and technical directors.
Every member of the crew wears a headset at all times during the production and has the ability to communicate with whoever, whenever.
Andy Rostron is a communications engineer whose job, in oversimplified terms, is to make sure both the game and studio sides, as well as broadcasters and camera operators, are able to communicate with one another seamlessly.
Rostron has been a part of communications teams for a variety of sporting events including the Masters, the Daytona 500 and the World Series. Most of his work for the productions is preparatory.
“When we’re live,” Rostron said, “hopefully I’m not doing much, because that means everything’s working.”
Video engineers and directors are constantly talking to camera operators to fix lighting issues and get specific shots. The producer and technical director are always coordinating additional content to go along with the announcer’s commentary like a slow-motion clip of the last touchdown, or an instant replay of a penalty.
That kind of thing requires yet another master of a sports broadcasting niche, like Kim Tessean, a live video editor.
Tessean said she’s been working with a machine that allows for live slow motion replays, since 2004. She uses it to pre-build clips and highlight reels with in-game content for the halftime and post-game shows.
On the game side of things, the trucks are set up slightly differently, but all of the same key components and specialists remain.
Bob Goosley, referred to by the crew as “Goose,” is the technical director on the game operations side. He said he preps for games by taking a look at both teams and decides what graphics to premake, which of last year’s stats are relevant to the game at hand, and programs certain commands into the video board he calls “the switcher.”
“I think it’s really neat,” Goose said, “when you’ve done a good job and people are watching it on TV — it’s nice to know you were a part of it.”
On game day, Goose sits to the right of producer Chuck McDonald and director Rich Dewey, from whom the team gets its name — “the McDew Crew” — complete with a custom flag hanging on the back of the trailer.
McDonald says every week, especially in college football, is like a new puzzle. He and Dewey coordinate camera placements that vary from stadium to stadium and nail down story lines and themes to keep in mind throughout the game.
“If you go into a game with a plan,” McDonald said, “you have to be ready to adjust, because the game decides the direction (of the production).”
The producers and directors have 16 camera options around the stadium to choose from throughout the game. Video engineers like Darrin Peterson ensure that as the broadcast switches between video feeds, factors like color and exposure appear seamless.
Ruggles and Trevor MacHalick, both video engineers on the studio side, oversee much of the same thing during production. Steve Leotta, another video engineer on the team, said MacHalick and Ruggles are “seriously, two of the best in the business.”
Ruggles said he’s worked with many members of the team before the Big Noon Kickoff schedule, as a result of freelance specialists typically following seasonal trends in sports.
While most of the work stays the same no matter what sport they’re dealing with, MacHalick noted weather is one of the more disruptive variables, given much of the setup takes place outside the truck.
“I remember working on NHL games,” MacHalick said, “being up north in the winter and having to chip ice off the (fiber optic) cables in the morning.”
“Another time,” he said, “we were in Tokyo for the Olympics and I was working underneath (the trailer), wearing this exact shirt and at the time we still had to wear masks. It was 100 degrees outside, and my whole shirt was drenched in sweat but this one spot in the center of my chest.”
MacHalick said one of the challenges of full-time freelance sports production is the uncertainty involved with the next job.
“When you don’t know exactly what you’ll be doing three months from now,” MacHalick said, “it can be hard to plan out the big things in life.”
Other team members echoed similar sentiments, such as Tessean who said she missed Thanksgiving the last 17 years and Christmas the last eight. Rob Mikulicka, director of remote studio operations for Fox, said he’d missed quite a few holidays and family events, too.
“If everyone’s at home on Thanksgiving watching the game,” Mikulicka said, “somebody has to be there putting it all on.”
Brian Obert, a technical director on the game side of the production, said he sees the bonds everyone has formed while working together under the same high-energy, committed conditions and long hours.
“Nobody would probably tell you this,” Obert said, “but everyone here sees each other as family.” | https://www.purdueexponent.org/sports/mens/football/article_9b4ddfcc-3fda-5bae-8a89-0cacc8d53f1b.html | 2022-09-02T05:44:13Z | https://www.purdueexponent.org/sports/mens/football/article_9b4ddfcc-3fda-5bae-8a89-0cacc8d53f1b.html | false |
Chicago is one of the nation’s gun violence hotspots and a seemingly ideal place to employ Illinois’ ”red flag” law that allows police to step in and take firearms away from people who threaten to kill. But amid more than 8,500 shootings resulting in 1,800 deaths since 2020, the law was used there just four times.
It’s a pattern that’s played out in New Mexico, with nearly 600 gun homicides during that period and a mere eight uses of its red flag law. And in Massachusetts, with nearly 300 shooting homicides and just 12 uses of its law.
An Associated Press analysis found many U.S. states barely use the red flag laws touted as the most powerful tool to stop gun violence before it happens, a trend blamed on a lack of awareness of the laws and resistance by some authorities to enforce them even as shootings and gun deaths soar.
AP found such laws in 19 states and the District of Columbia were used to remove firearms from people 15,049 times since 2020, fewer than 10 per 100,000 adult residents. Experts called that woefully low and not nearly enough to make a dent in gun violence, considering the millions of firearms in circulation and countless potential warning signs law enforcement officers encounter from gun owners every day.
“It’s too small a pebble to make a ripple,” Duke University psychologist Jeffrey Swanson, who has studied red flag gun surrender orders across the nation, said of the AP tally. “It’s as if the law doesn’t exist.”
“The number of people we are catching with red flags is likely infinitesimal,” added Indiana University law professor Jody Madeira, who like other experts who reviewed AP’s findings wouldn’t speculate how many red flag removal orders would be necessary to make a difference.
The search for solutions comes amid a string of mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, Uvalde, Texas, and Highland Park, Illinois, and a spike in gun violence not seen in decades: 27,000 deaths so far this year, following 45,000 deaths each of the past two years.
AP’s count, compiled from inquiries and Freedom of Information Law requests, showed wide disparities in how the laws were applied from state to state, county to county, most without regard to population or crime rates.
Florida led with 5,800 such orders, or 34 per 100,000 adult residents, but that is due mostly to aggressive enforcement in a few counties that don’t include Miami-Dade and others with more gun killings. More than a quarter of Illinois’ slim 154 orders came from one suburban county that makes up just 7% of the state’s population. California had 3,197 orders but was working through a backlog of three times that number of people barred from owning guns under a variety of measures who had not yet surrendered them.
And a national movement among politicians and sheriffs that has declared nearly 2,000 counties as “Second Amendment Sanctuaries,” opposing laws that infringe on gun rights, may have affected red flag enforcement in several states. In Colorado, 37 counties that consider themselves “sanctuaries” issued just 45 surrender orders in the two years through last year, a fifth fewer than non-sanctuary counties did per resident. New Mexico and Nevada reported only about 20 orders combined.
“The law shouldn’t even be there in the first place,” argued Richard Mack, a former Arizona sheriff who heads the pro-gun Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. “You’re taking away someone’s property and means of self-defense.”
Red flag laws, most of which came into effect over the last four years, allow police officers who believe gun owners are an imminent danger to themselves or others to petition a judge to order firearms surrendered or, barring that, seized for an “emergency” period, typically two weeks. The judge can then convene a court hearing in which petitioners present evidence to withhold weapons longer, typically a year, and the owner can argue against that.
AP’s tally counts an emergency order that is followed by a longer one as a single order if they involve the same gun owner. In rare cases where no one asked for an emergency order and only a longer one was requested and granted, that also counts as a single order. Several states reported incomplete data.
Some states also allow family members of gun owners, school officials, work colleagues or doctors to ask for gun removal orders, also known as extreme risk protection orders. But data reviewed by the AP show nearly all petitions in several states were initiated by police, possibly because, as several surveys have shown, few people outside law enforcement are even aware the laws exist.
The recent spike in shootings has brought renewed attention to red flag laws, with states including Alaska, Pennsylvania and Kentucky introducing legislation to add them. The Biden administration is seeking to foster wider use of red flag laws by allocating money in a newly passed federal gun law to help spread the word about such measures.
An AP-NORC poll in late July found 78% of U.S. adults strongly or somewhat favor red flag laws, but the backlash against them has been intense in some states, particularly in rural areas. Opponents argue that allowing judges to rule on gun seizures in initial emergency petitions before full hearings violates due process rights, though court cases claiming this have generally found the laws constitutional.
Many police believe seizing guns can also be dangerous and unnecessary, even as a last resort, especially in sparsely populated areas where they know many of the residents with mental health issues, said Tony Mace, head of the New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association, which lobbied against the state’s law.
“You’re showing up with 10 to 15 law enforcement officers and coming in the middle of the night and kicking in the door, and it’s already a dangerous environment,” said Mace, sheriff of Cibola County, a sanctuary county with just one order since 2020. “You’re dealing with someone in crisis and elevating it even more.”
One fierce gun rights defender who still aggressively uses the law is Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd, who says he doesn’t let his beliefs stand in the way of moving fast when gun owners threaten violence.
“We’re not going to wait for an Uvalde, Texas, or a Parkland or a Columbine if we have the information and people say that they’re going to shoot or kill,” said Judd, who enforced 752 orders since 2020 in a county of 725,000 residents, a tally that’s more than the total orders for 15 entire states. “We’re going to use the tools that the state gave us.”
Florida’s traditionally pro-gun Republican-led legislature passed its red flag law in 2019 following revelations police failed to act on repeated threats by an expelled student who would go on to carry out the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that left 17 people dead.
A recent high-profile example of a red flag law not being used was for the 21-year-old gunman accused of fatally shooting seven people and injuring dozens more at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. Robert E. Crimo III drew police attention three years earlier when he threatened to “kill everyone” in his house and officers acknowledged going to the home several times previously because of a “history of attempts” to take his own life.
But Highland Park police never requested a gun surrender order, saying there was no gun belonging to Crimo to take away at the time, even though the law has a provision to block threatening people from making future purchases, too.
Illinois state Rep. Denyse Stoneback said there has clearly been a problem with awareness of the law among those tasked with carrying it out. “We’d go to police departments and they didn’t know anything about it,” said the Democrat who helped push through a bill last year providing $1 million in police red flag law training.
Asked why Chicago had so few red flag firearm restraining orders, police spokesman Thomas Ahern said many of the city’s gun killings are committed with illegally owned firearms.
But Ahern emphasized it remained a priority of the department to increase its awareness and use of the red flag law. “If we are able to prevent one citizen from getting hurt or killed that’s a law worth having and definitely not a low priority,” he said.
In New York, a red flag-type situation that wasn’t covered under the state’s law nonetheless led to a spike in red flag gun surrender orders.
Payton Gendron was a 17-year-old high school senior last year when he was investigated by New York’s State Police and ordered hospitalized for a mental health evaluation for typing into an economics class online program that his future plans included “murder-suicide.” But since he was a minor, he wasn’t covered under the state’s red flag law and it didn’t prevent him from later buying the high-powered rifle authorities say he used to kill 10 Black people in a racially-motivated shooting at Buffalo supermarket in May.
Since then, New York has seen 779 gun surrender orders under its red flag law, equal to nearly half of all its orders since the measure took effect three years ago.
Several experts said it’s impossible to come up with an ideal number of red flag orders and misleading to compare states by orders because of the widely varying rates of gun ownership and gun homicides and suicides, among other stats.
Another complicating factor is that some states have stricter gun ownerships rules and multiple ways to seize firearms. In California, for instance, guns can be taken away through domestic violence restraining orders, civil harassment protection orders and school violence prevention orders in addition to the red flag law.
Still, experts consulted by AP agreed more could be done to enforce red flag laws given the prevalence of guns and the millions of gun owners that national studies suggest could be dangerous to themselves and others. In red flag states alone, figures compiled by the Gun Violence Archive show at least 21,100 homicides and 47,000 injuries during the 2½ years covered by AP’s count.
Several studies suggest red flag laws can be particularly effective in preventing gun suicides, which kill about 20,000 people a year. A Duke University study of Connecticut’s-first-in-the-nation red flag law in 1999 estimated that for every 10 to 20 surrender orders a life from a potential suicide was saved. A study of Indiana’s law came up with a similar ratio.
While the impact of red flag laws on homicides is less well researched, studies suggest many mass shootings could be avoided if the laws were implemented aggressively. A study by the gun-control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety showed perpetrators exhibited dangerous warning signs before more than half of the mass shootings in the dozen years through 2020 that accounted for 596 deaths.
Such warning signs have led to many opportunities to stop gun violence, as well as missed chances.
In Colorado in 2020, police seized 59 guns from a man who complained of hit men coming to get him, bragged about shooting someone and repeatedly threatened his ex-wife.
In New Jersey in 2019, police took seven guns from a man threatening on Facebook to attack a Walmart.
And in Washington state in 2018, police removed 12 guns from the home of a man who posted on social media about killing Jews in a synagogue and kids in a school.
None of those threatened shootings happened.
But in Indianapolis in 2020, failure to employ all aspects of a red flag law resulted in disaster. After 18-year-old Brandon Hole’s mother alerted police that he was threatening to commit “suicide by cop,” police seized his pump-action shotgun. A county prosecutor could have gone further under the law to argue before a judge that Hole should be barred from possessing or buying a gun, but that never happened.
A few months later, Hole bought two AR-style rifles at a gun store, turning to his mother and saying, “They don’t have a flag on me.” Several months after that, he fatally shot eight employees in a FedEx warehouse where he had worked and injured seven more before killing himself.
“I feel the state of Indiana is an accessory to murder,” a wounded Angela Hughley told the Indianapolis Star shortly after the shooting.
Amber Clark, a librarian in Sacramento, California, might still be alive today if police had acted on a tip that Ronald Seay was armed and dangerous.
The gunman’s twin brother called police in 2018 warning that Seay, who had a history of mental illness and trouble with police, was making violent threats and had two semiautomatic pistols. But the police never went to a judge to ask for a gun surrender order or tell the sibling that he could do that himself.
A few weeks later, Seay unloaded 11 bullets into Clark’s face and head at pointblank range outside the Sacramento library.
“It is obvious to me and my family that the application of California’s red flag law in this case would have saved two lives – Amber’s and the shooter’s – and prevented immeasurable grief,” said her husband, Kelly Clark. “My wife would still be alive and the killer would have received the help he needed instead of being condemned to life in prison.”

Iran says it sends 'constructive' response on nuclear deal; US disagrees
Iran has sent a "constructive" response to US proposals aimed at reviving Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, Iran's Foreign Ministry said, prompting a less positive impression from the United States.
"The text that was sent (by Iran) has a constructive approach aimed at finalizing the negotiations," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani was quoted as saying by state broadcaster IRIB on Friday.
But the US State Department gave a different assessment.
"We can confirm that we have received Iran's response through the EU," a spokesperson said. "We are studying it and will respond through the EU, but unfortunately it is not constructive."
White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said: "Some gaps have closed in recent weeks but others remain."
The IRIB report said Iran's response was sent to EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, who has been coordinating the negotiations. It gave no further details.
After 16 months of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington, Borrell said on 8 Aug the EU had laid down a final offer to overcome an impasse for the revival of the agreement.
Iran needs stronger guarantees from Washington for the revival of a 2015 nuclear deal, its foreign minister said on Wednesday, adding that the UN atomic watchdog should drop its "politically motivated probes" of Tehran's nuclear work.
Under the 2015 pact, Iran had curbed its nuclear program in return for relief from US, EU and UN sanctions.
Then US President Donald Trump reneged on the deal in 2018, arguing that it was too generous to Tehran. He reimposed US sanctions on Iran, leading Tehran to resume previously banned nuclear activities and reviving US, European and Israeli fears that Iran may seek an atomic bomb.
Iran denies any such ambition. | https://www.tbsnews.net/worldbiz/middle-east/iran-says-it-sends-constructive-response-nuclear-deal-us-disagrees-488658 | 2022-09-02T05:44:46Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/worldbiz/middle-east/iran-says-it-sends-constructive-response-nuclear-deal-us-disagrees-488658 | false |
It would be hard to find someone who possessed as much passion for his community as John Perkins did.
Mr Perkins' death earlier this week in Far North Queensland has left a hole at Latrobe in particular, where he was a prominent figure for his service to the council [where he was a councillor for 24 years over two stints] and as president of the town's football club and basketball association.

He also had an impact on the wider sporting community, spending time as the NWFL [then NTFL] president, as well as being a past-president of the now defunct Leven Football Association.
That passion was the first thing to come to mind in the newsroom here at The Advocate when discussing Mr Perkins.
It was one of the defining features that resonates from the moment and will go down as a key part of the legacy of a "larger than life" man whose generosity knew no bounds.
You could also call him an "ideas" man, someone who was never keen on standing still and always looking for the best way to make things better for those around him.
It's hard to find people like Mr Perkins. They make groups and clubs tick and do it purely for the love of the sport or the people that are around them.
As the Latrobe Basketball Association posted on social media: "John will be an irreplaceable figure around the club, as we all know, there is only one John Perkins".
Vale John Perkins, a man whose impact on the community won't be forgotten. | https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/7885335/passionate-perkins-will-be-remembered/ | 2022-09-02T05:51:46Z | https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/7885335/passionate-perkins-will-be-remembered/ | true |
The 11th Assembly of the World Council of Churches is being held in Karlsruhe, Germany, August 31-September 8, under the theme "Christ's love moves the world toward reconciliation and unity." (Photo by ALBIN HILLERT/WCC)
The World Council of Churches (WCC) – the 74-year-old ecumenical organization aimed at forging Christian unity – has begun its 11th Assembly in the German city of Karlsruhe with a focus on reconciliation among believers.
The WCC brings together Churches, denominations and Church fellowships in more than 120 countries and territories throughout the world.
The organization claims to represent over 580 million Christians, including most of the world's Orthodox Churches, and scores of Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed Churches.
The Assembly is usually held every eight year, the last being in 2013 in South Korea. This year's gathering, which runs from August 31 to September 8, has brought together 295 of the 355 WCC member bodies.
Christian Albecker, president of the Union of Protestant Churches of Alsace and Lorraine (UEPAL), which is a co-host of this 11th Assembly, spoke to La Croix's Félicien Rondel about the stakes of this global gathering.
La Croix: The 11th Assembly of the WCC opens in Karlsruhe, nine years after the last event of this type (in Busan, South Korea) and 54 years after the previous European edition, which was held in Uppsala (Sweden). What exactly is the WCC?
Christian Albecker: The WCC was created in 1948. World War II was the catalyst.
The Council came from the meeting of Protestant missionary movements at the beginning of the 20th century. In the field, we realized that everyone was competing with each other, and this was not in accordance with the Gospel.
Today, the WCC has 352 member Churches, both regional and national, representing an estimated 580 million Christians, mainly Orthodox, Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran and Reformed, worldwide.
The great absentee from the Council remains the Catholic Church. Joining the WCC would mean recognizing the other Churches as equal, something the Church of Rome does not seem to want to do.
But the Catholic leader of Freiburg im Breisgau, Archbishop Stephan Burger, will be present at the opening ceremony of the assembly.
What are the main issues at stake in this gathering?
Karlsruhe was chosen as the host city of the Assembly because we presented a cross-border project, organized with German, French and Swiss Churches.
When we chose "Christ's love moves the world to reconciliation and unity" as the theme of the Assembly already back in 2019, we wanted to emphasize that, despite the conflicts in the world, two historic enemies, the French and the Germans, had found the way to reconciliation.
If it was possible here, it should be possible in other countries.
In the meantime, the war in Ukraine has arrived. In Karlsruhe, we will have a delegation from the Ukrainian Council of Churches and another from Russia.
They will not debate publicly, but the corridor discussions can help. And we hope for strong actions from both delegations.
In addition to these informal exchanges, what initiatives will the Assembly focus on?
There will be thematic workshops on a number of ethically and politically sensitive topics, such as ecology and the place of women in the Church. Then the official delegations will vote on declarations.
But the question remains about how they will be received in the member Churches at the end of the assembly.
This gathering is an ecumenical event in itself: we are expecting 3,000 to 4,000 visitors from all denominations, who will be able to discuss and learn from each other on site.
We do better talking "with" each other than talking "about" each other.
Today's world seems fractured and divided, also among Christians. What is left of ecumenism?
We have abandoned the dream of one united Church. Even if we are not on the same wavelength on many issues, we recognize the Church of Christ in the other Churches.
For example, I have on my table a Greek New Testament from Mount Athos, which was given to me by the Greek Orthodox community in Strasbourg in 2017, for the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.
The Word of God, in the form of the Gospel, is our common treasure. It is a richness that we must make fruitful together.
As a "co-hosting" Church and member of an official delegation, what do you expect from this assembly?
We want to show visitors from around the world that reconciliation is possible.
During the weekend of September 3-4, visitors and delegations have a program of visits.
In Strasbourg, we will symbolically propose a visit to a chapel with which we no longer knew what to do, but which has become a Franco-German Protestant community over the years.
The idea is to show, without giving lessons, that another world is possible. | https://international.la-croix.com/news/religion/world-council-of-churches-opens-assembly-on-reconciliation/16530 | 2022-09-02T05:52:04Z | https://international.la-croix.com/news/religion/world-council-of-churches-opens-assembly-on-reconciliation/16530 | false |
AIADMK leadership tussle | Division Bench of Madras High Court reverses earlier order in favour of OPS
Allows appeals preferred by EPS; sets aside order single judge’s Aug 17 order
A Division Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday, September 2, 2022 set aside an order passed by a single judge on August 17 in favour of O. Panneerselvam in the tussle between him and Edappadi K. Palaniswami over the leadership of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
Justices M. Duraiswamy and Sunder Mohan allowed appeals challenging the verdict of Justice G. Jayachandran who had nullified the July 11 general council meet when Mr. Palaniswami was elected interim general secretary and Mr. Panneerselvam was expelled from the party.
Since the single judge had ordered status quo ante as on June 23, the day when the posts of Coordinator and Joint Cordinator of the party had lapsed, according to Mr. Palaniswami, the latter had rushed to the Bench claiming that it would be impossible for them to function together.
Dispute over party posts
While it had been the consistent stand of Mr. Panneerselvam that he continues to be the Coordinator of the party and that his five-year tenure would come to an end only in December 2026, Mr. Palaniswami had contended otherwise and argued that both their posts lapsed on June 23.
The basis for such contention was that election to the posts of Coordinator and Joint Cordinator was held in December 2021 on the basis of amendment made to the bylaws through an executive council decision though such body had no power to amend the party bylaws.
Asserting that only the general council was empowered to make amendments, Mr. Palaniswami said, the executive council decision ought to have been ratified by the general council on June 23. Since no such ratification was carried out on that day, the two posts had got lapsed, he argued.
However, the single judge refused to buy such argument by stating that the draft resolutions for the June 23 meet did not contain any resolution which required ratification. He also held that any general council meet in the future should be convened jointly by both their leaders.
Aggrieved against such an order, Mr. Palaniswami had appealed before the Division Bench.

SMITHVILLE – The Hatley Tigers utilized their ground game to pick up their first win over Smithville since 2011.
The Tigers took a 28-20 win over the Seminoles on Thursday night.
“Between Cayson (Williams) and Michael (Foster), they had two big rushing games for us,” Hatley coach Seth Lee said. “They were clutch for us in the end because we wanted to take off as much time as possible since Smithville was knocking at our door."
Hatley (1-1) struck first as Williams picked up his first touchdown of the night on a 42-yard run. The Noles (1-1) quickly responded as Barker O’Brian scored on an 80-yard kickoff return to tie the game at 6-6.
The Tigers extended their lead to 22-6 late in the first quarter after a pair of touchdown runs of 8 and 6 yards by Logan Brown and Josh Griffin, respectively. Both two-point conversion attempts by Brown and Seth Terry were good.
The Noles rallied back to cut the score down to 22-14 with under four minutes left in the third on a 49-yard pass from Chandler Brunetti to Carson Spann, and Brunetti found O’Brian on the two-point conversion pass.
In the fourth quarter, Williams broke free for a 50-yard touchdown run to increase Hatley’s lead to 28-14 with 9:25 left in the game. With five minutes left in the fourth, a touchdown pass from Brunetti to O’Brian cut the score down to eight points for the Noles after the failed two-point conversion.
The Tigers ran the clock out in the final minutes to secure their first win over Smithville in 11 years.
Williams finished with 188 yards on 18 carries and a pair of touchdowns in the win.
“Coach Heath (Smith) put the ball in my hands when they needed to and trusted me to play both sides of the ball all night,” Williams said.
Extra Points
Turning Point: Williams scored on a 50-yard run in the fourth quarter to add to Hatley’s lead.
Point Man: Williams tallied 188 yards on 18 carries and had a pair of touchdowns.
Talking Point: “This game was a testament to our guys and how hard they’ve worked over the offseason. The work’s not done yet. We still have stuff to do, and we still have a big ball game coming up.” – Hatley coach Seth Lee
Notes
• Hatley’s Braxton Harlow had an interception in the fourth quarter for the Tigers.
• Smithville’s Ben Frederick came away with a pair of sacks in the first half.
• Hatley will hit the road to play Mantachie next Friday, while Smithville will head to Hamilton.

Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.
Important reminder: Rumors are just that — rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it’s just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- PW Insider says Solo Sikoa will be called up to the main roster “ASAP” and will be joining the SmackDown brand.
- There have been rumors going around that some AEW wrestlers have asked for their release from the company, such as Malakai Black and Miro. Fightful Select says this is not the case.
- Having said that, they did say that they had sources that said Black was unhappy but it wasn’t something they could speak on without confirming it and it may have already been smoothed over.
- There’s a lot of speculation, some based on odds from places like BetOnline, that MJF will return at All Out.
- Insider expanded on Lady Frost’s issues with Impact Wrestling. They note a source in the company told them she was offered a full release if she would put over Masha Slamovich on TV but she stopped communicating with them. Then “sources close to Frost” denied that claim and said she agreed to it but wanted something in writing to confirm the arrangement and never got that.
If you have heard of any interesting rumors that you’d like to add, feel free to post them in the comments section below. Just remember they are rumors and not confirmed as fact, so please take them as such. And check our weekly Rumor Look Back here to keep track of how often rumors turn out to be correct. | https://www.cagesideseats.com/2022/9/2/23333802/rumor-roundup-sept-2-2022-nxt-call-up-wwe-malakai-black-miro-release-talk-mjf-return-aew | 2022-09-02T06:06:14Z | https://www.cagesideseats.com/2022/9/2/23333802/rumor-roundup-sept-2-2022-nxt-call-up-wwe-malakai-black-miro-release-talk-mjf-return-aew | false |
'He must be insane, or suffering from late stage dementia!' Trump rails against Biden after 'awkward and angry' Pennsylvania speech and calls for someone to explain MAGA to him 'slowly but passionately'
- Taking to his own social media platform Truth Social, the former president offered some harsh words for his political replacement - accusing him of either 'suffering from late stage dementia ' or being insane
- The comments came after Biden's 24-minute address in front of Philadelphia's Independence Hall, where he slammed Trump and MAGA Republicans as a threat to the Constitution
- Biden, 79, further declared that Trump was a 'threat to the country' - in a speech that contained his harshest rhetoric to date about his predecessor in the Oval Office and the MAGA movement
- A few hours later, Trump, 76, responded to his political rival, asserting that Biden's scathing speech served as proof that he should 'not be representing the United States of America'
Donald Trump hit back at Joe Biden after the president lambasted him during the president's 'soul' of the nation address in Philadelphia Thursday - a scathing speech that saw the head of state assert that his predecessor and his supporters pose a threat to US democracy.
Taking to his own social media platform Truth Social, the former president offered some harsh words for his political replacement - accusing him of either 'suffering from late stage dementia' or being insane.
The comments came after Biden's 24-minute address in front of Philadelphia's Independence Hall, where he slammed Trump and MAGA Republicans as a threat to the Constitution - saying the ex-president was intent on 'destroying American democracy' with his millions of supporters.
Biden, 79, further declared that Trump was a 'threat to the country' - in a speech that contained his harshest rhetoric to date about his predecessor in the Oval Office and the MAGA movement.
A few hours later, Trump, 76, responded to his political rival, asserting that Biden's scathing speech - which saw the head of state flanked by two Marines in an almost dystopian backdrop - served as proof that he should 'not be representing the United States of America.'

In another post published minutes later, Trump continued to lay into his adversary, suggesting 'Someone should explain to Joe Biden, slowly but passionately, that MAGA means, as powerfully as mere words can get, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'
'If you look at the words and meaning of the awkward and angry Biden speech tonight, he threatened America, including with the possible use of military force,' Trump wrote in a late night post published just after 12 am ET Friday. 'He must be insane, or suffering from late stage dementia!'
In another post published minutes later, Trump continued to lay into his adversary, suggesting that 'Someone should explain to Joe Biden, slowly but passionately, that MAGA means, as powerfully as mere words can get, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'
He added: 'If he doesn’t want to Make America Great Again, which through words, action, and thought, he doesn’t, then he certainly should not be representing the United States of America!'
Roughly an hour before, shortly after Biden's speech, the outspoken president posted an uncaptioned image of him kissing the American flag, juxtaposed next to an image of Biden raging during his speech - which many pointed out almost seemed militaristic, and a call to arms, at times.
It comes after the White House said Biden wasn't giving a political speech. However, upon taking the podium, Biden took direct aim at Trump, who is mulling a 2024 challenge to Biden, and at Republicans, who are attempting to win control of Congress in the midterm election.
'We need everyone to do their part. So speak up, speak out, get engaged, vote, vote, vote,' the president said during his speech.
The politician went on to compare his 2020 election against Trump as a battle for the 'soul of the nation,' and painted a picture of what he called a dystopian society if Republicans win the 2022 and 2024 elections,
At bottom, the lion's share of the 24-minute address centered around assertions that Trump and his supporters are threats to the country.
'MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards; backwards to an America where there is no right to choose no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love,' he warned.
'They promote authoritarian leaders and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.'
Biden declared Donald Trump is a 'threat to the country' in a speech that contained his harshest rhetoric to date about his predecessor in the Oval Office and the MAGA movement

Jill Biden joined President Biden on stage after his remarks
Naomi Biden and her fiance Peter Neal, who are getting married in the White House in November, flew with the president and first lady to Philadelphia for President Biden's speech
And, Biden charged, Republicans will try to steal elections again.
'They see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections. They're tried everything last time to notify the votes of 81 million people,' he said.
'This time they're determined to succeed at thwarting the will of the people.'
The president went on to vow to stand up for the republic, touting himself as a defender of democracy - an assertion Trump likely picked up on during his own statements slamming the president.
'I will not stand by and watch. I will not let the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and evidence-free claims and fraud. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refused to accept that they lost,' he said.
'As your president I will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being and I'm asking every American to join me.'
The White House said Biden wouldn't be giving a political speech, but he took direct aim at Trump, who is mulling a 2024 challenge to Biden, and at Republicans, who are attempting to win control of Congress in the midterm election
'I will not stand by and watch. I will not let the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence-free claims and fraud. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refused to accept that they lost,' the president said
Biden also directed comments specifically at MAGA Republicans who refuse to accept the 2020 election results, after court cases, state 'audits,' and dozens of court suits failed to uncover massive fraud.
Since Biden took office, Trump allies have been able to install people who deny the election results in state capitols in several states, and scores of GOP officials still won't say Biden's election was legitimate.
'They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies,' Biden said in another one of his MAGA attacks.
He specifically called them out for denying his election win.
'This is a nation that respects free and fair elections. We honor the will of the people – we do not deny it,' the president said.
Then he rolled out a line that seemed aimed straight at Trump.
He said he wouldn't allow the will of the American people to be 'overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence-free claims of fraud. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost.'
Biden brought the trappings of the presidency with him: two Marines came out ahead of him to stand at attention during his entrance. 'Hail to the Chief' played him on stage. Jill Biden accompanied him on the trip.
The president also used a historic backdrop to make his point: he spoke outside of Philadelphia's Independence Hall, the site where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated and adopted by America's founding fathers. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11172239/Trump-rails-against-Biden-awkward-angry-Pennsylvania-speech.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-02T06:08:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11172239/Trump-rails-against-Biden-awkward-angry-Pennsylvania-speech.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Roberta Marie (Bosch) Jensen
BISMARCK - Roberta Marie (Bosch) Jensen, 62, of Bismarck, passed away on August 30, 2022, at her home surrounded by family.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, September 6, 2022, at Ascension Catholic Church, 1825 S 3rd St, Bismarck.
Visitation will be held 6-7 p.m. September 5, at Parkway Funeral Service, 2330 Tyler Parkway, Bismarck. A vigil/rosary service will begin at 7 p.m.
Burial will be held at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery.
Roberta was born April 7, 1960, in Linton, ND, to Benedict I. and Eileen (Marquart) Bosch. She was raised on a farm in Napoleon and attended a country school. She moved to Bismarck in third grade and graduated from Bismarck High School in 1978. In May 1976, while still in high school, Roberta started working at CHI St. Alexius Health in the Admitting/Patient Access Department and continued to work there until her retirement in April 2022. At the time of retirement, she completed almost 46 years of service which she was very proud of. Roberta also worked a second job at Speedway/Prime Steer in Mandan from approximately 1995 until 2011. Her work ethic was out of this world and something to be admired. She rarely missed a day of work and was always helping out and filling in when she could.
Roberta married Kenneth Knute Jensen on September 16, 1983. From this union, they were blessed with three children: Travis, Stephanie and Nathan. Ken passed away on June 1, 2012. After his passing, Roberta always said her grandchildren are what kept her going in life. She was the proudest Grandma and would do anything for her grandchildren. She never showed up empty-handed when visiting them and always had candy, gum, chocolate, or toys to hand out. She would do anything for her grandchildren and always made sure they were smiling, loved, and spoiled!
She bowled for many years with family and friends. She was able to travel and attend many Women's National Bowling Tournaments in various states. She also loved taking short trips to different casinos in different states with family and friends. People always joked about how lucky she was because she always came home with more money than she went with. In Reno, NV, while attending a bowling tournament, she won $10,000.
Roberta enjoyed baking for the CHI St. Alexius Health Auxiliary baked goods events. She was well known for her stuffing at Thanksgiving and her cookies at Christmas. She loved to keep busy with many different hobbies such as knitting, crocheting, embroidering dish towels, and cross stitching on sweatshirts.
Although her time on earth was short, she left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
She will be deeply missed by her mother, Eileen Krumm; children, Travis (Kristin) Jensen and their children, Morgan and Reed, Stephanie (Ian) Arbach, and their children, Kassidy, Kendra, Zoey and Lucas, and Nathan (Marie) Jensen and their children, Knute and Hallie; her sisters, Julie Brendel and Jackie (Gordy) Leingang; brothers, Benedict J. (Naneth) Bosch, Allen (Marie) Nolz, Wayne Nolz, and Jamie Nolz; and many nieces and nephews.

VIDEO: Kennedy Kanagawa Talks Scene-Stealing Milky White in INTO THE WOODS on CBS MORNINGS
Into the Woods is now running at the St. James Theatre through October 16.
In a new segment on CBS Mornings, correspondent Jamie Wax sat down with Kennedy Kanagawa, who is the Milky White puppeteer in Into the Woods on Broadway.
The puppet, which is mostly made of recylced cardboard, steals the hearts of audiences in the acclaimed Broadway revival of the classic Stephen Sondheim musical.
During the interview, Kanagawa discussed the viral response to his work in the show, his upbringing, and what his Broadway debut means to him.
"It's so incredibly special," Kanagawa said of the response to Milky White. "It's funny because it's a show all about wishes and I really do feel like if seventh grade Kennedy found out that he was making his Broadway debut doing Into the Woods, a wish couldn't have come more true."
Kanagawa also discussed the show's star-studded cast's reaction to the scene-stealing cow.
"Obviously, everyone in this cast is insanely talented but also I think it's so important to acknowledge that they're all so kind. There are no egos in the company," Kanagawa shared.
James and the original cast of Into the Woods will be with the show through September 4. The production also stars Patina Miller, Sara Bareilles, Phillipa Soo, Gavin Creel, Julia Lester, Joshu Henry, Annie Golden, Cole Thompson, and more. New cast members will be taking over certain roles on September 6 through October 16.
Directed by Lear deBessonet, music direction by Rob Berman with The Encores! Orchestra, and choreographed by Lorin Latarro, the revival of Into the Woods is the first production of the 2022-23 Broadway season.

Venice Film Festival | For Cate Blanchett, Todd Field's ‘TÁR’ was 'undeniable'
The film, which had its world premiere Thursday night in competition at the Venice International Film Festival, looks at an extraordinary artist at the peak of her career
ADVERTISEMENT
Todd Field didn’t write "TÁR” with Cate Blanchett in mind. He wrote it for Cate Blanchett only. If she didn’t want to do it, it wouldn’t exist.
ADVERTISEMENT
The film, which had its world premiere Thursday night in competition at the Venice International Film Festival, looks at an extraordinary artist at the peak of her career. The fictional Lydia Tár is a celebrated composer, musician, philanthropist and conductor, and the first ever woman to preside over an important German orchestra, who we meet as she’s preparing to debut her autobiography “Tár on Tár” and complete the Mahler cycle with the orchestra.
“It’s a very rare and special moment when Todd leaves the house and makes another movie,” Blanchett said before the premiere.
"TÁR” is one of the most anticipated films of a festival full of major filmmakers. It’s Field’s first film in over 15 years and features what is already being hailed as a bravura performance from one of cinema’s most celebrated actors.
ADVERTISEMENT
It’s also a film that has been a bit secretive — there is no real easy logline to describe "TÁR” or even tease what happens, but it’s one that reveals itself to you as you go along. Blanchett described it as a process movie about someone who is estranged from herself.
“She’s haunted by something, by her past, by herself, by past deeds,” Blanchett said. “You experience someone who has put her past in a box and who through her immense talent has tried to reinvent herself and be saved and changed and transmogrified by the music.”
And there’s not even one definitive reading, at least according to Field.
“I see a different film every time I watch it and I’ve watched it many times,” he said.
But, in his words, Lydia has external forces going on which we have limited knowledge about what they are or what they mean. Then something happens and everything changes.
“It’s a very long journey in a very short period of time for her,” said Field.
To play Lydia’s wife, Sharon, who is violinist in the German Orchestra, Field said he and Blanchett “like a jinx” both said “Nina Hoss” at the same time. Blanchett laughed that she’d been stalking the German actor known for her frequent collaboration with Christian Petzold “for about 10 years now.”
“It’s unhealthy but it’s true,” she said.
Blanchett has played LGBTQ characters before, perhaps most notably in Todd Haynes’ “Carol,” but the importance of that kind of representation on screen is not something she takes into consideration when choosing roles.
“I think it’s important on a societal level,” Blanchett said. “Homogeneity in any art form is death. But I’m wary of putting up the word importance with the word art. I don’t see the artistic process as an educational tool. "
“I don’t think about the character’s gender nor her sexuality,” Blanchett continued. “And I love that about the film. It just is. It’s a human portrait. I think we have matured enough as a species that we can watch a film like this and not make it the headline or the issue.”
With “Carol," she said she only realized after the fact that it was unique in its portrayal of women in a relationship and that it did become important to people.
"TÁR,” just felt “urgent and undeniable” and while there are “a lot of explosive things in the film,” she’s also not interested in “agitprop," she said.
“After the thing is made, it can be politicized, disseminated, discussed, people can be disgusted with it, offended by it, inspired by it,” she said. “But that is outside our control.”
"TÁR” is competing for the festival’s Golden Lion award, to be given out on Sept. 10 by a jury led by Julianne Moore. And it’s expected to be a major contender come Oscar season. Focus Features is releasing the film in theaters in North America on Oct. 7.
And for Field, it is “Cate’s film.”
“She is a master supreme,” he wrote in his director’s statement. “Even so, while we were making the picture, the superhuman-skill and verisimilitude of Cate was something truly astounding to behold. She raised all boats. The privilege of collaborating with an artist of this caliber is something impossible to adequately describe.”

The first episode of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is here, giving LOTR fans a chance to travel back to a Middle-earth that's all at once familiar, and totally new. The premiere serves up everything from the sweeping, cinematic shots perfected in the movies to bold new elven hairstyles.
If you want to read a spoiler-free review: Fly, you fools! If not, let's dig in to a full recap of episode 1.
Prologue
What, you thought this show wasn't going to have a prologue? We open in a field in Valinor. Galadriel says in voice-over, "Nothing is evil in the beginning." A gaggle of child elves plays in a field. One of them is Galadriel herself, who's already clearly too good for the riffraff she's hanging out with. She makes a little boat and sets it sailing in a creek. It unfolds into an origami swan situation. The other elf kids taunt her and throw rocks at it until it sinks. Because you know who's evil in the beginning? Children.
Post-boat attack, her older brother consoles her. They have a conversation about rocks and boats and how to know which light to follow. He tells her he's not going to be around forever -- FORESHADOWING -- and she's like, excuse me? That's kind of the whole deal with elves. As he walks off, we see a gorgeous wide shot of Valinor.
It doesn't last long, though. Galadriel explains that the first dark lord, Morgoth, pulled some real shit and destroyed their two trees, Telperion and Laurelin, which were light sources in Valinor. He also stole three stones containing their light, called the Silmarils. If you've read The Silmarillion, this is a major party foul. For the purposes of this show, it doesn't seem like we're going to need to know a ton about Morgoth, but I'll quickly explain him like this: He's one of the Valar (a set of angelic-ish beings -- think of him like Lucifer/ the fallen angel in the Bible). But really, Morgoth is that kid in preschool who knocks over everyone else's block tower. A real pip, if you ask me.
The elves can't abide this nonsense, so an army, including Galadriel's brother, leaves Valinor. We see a legion of boats traveling across the Sundering Sea to Middle-earth. Dragons! Hand-to-hand combat! Elves fighting orcs in the rain! Galadriel tells us the war left Middle-earth in ruins and lasted centuries. On the battlefield, she picks up a helmet and puts it on a pile so large, I question its structural integrity.
Despite the losses, they defeat Morgoth. It's never that easy, though, is it? Sauron is standing by to fill the power vacuum.
Unfortunately, Galadriel's brother dies. Sauron rudely carves a sigil into his skin, and Galadriel takes up not only his dagger but his mission to wipe out evil from Middle-earth.
Sweeping shot over snowy mountains. Is that a pack of penguins? No! It's elves with a vendetta! The hunt for Sauron is unsuccessful. Centuries pass. The elves are kind of over the whole thing. Except Galadriel.
We catch up with her and a small command of elves climbing their way up the icy face of a mountain up north in Forodwaith, The Northernmost Waste. (Are those elf crampons?) At the top, an elf who I'll refer to as Insubordinate Elf, tells Galadriel, You know what would be supercool? If we just forgot about this whole thing. I am paraphrasing.
Galadriel nopes that idea, and later, in the midst of a raging snowstorm, they wander right into Sauron's stronghold. Inside: Too much obsidian. (Is it obsidian? I don't know. I am not a geologist.) They make their way into an inner chamber and find an orc corpse welded into a wall.
"What the devilry is this?" asks Insubordinate Elf as if he's me when my cat pees outside the box. They find another sigil, but he's still trying to make it home for dinner and just would rather not.
Then: A snow troll appears and attacks. Galadriel uses a sword as a ramp and does some aerodynamic badassery and takes care of it herself. She wants to press forward, but the rest of the elves mutiny despite the fact she just saved them. Insubordinate Elf keeps running his mouth. The struggles of #WomenintheWorkplace, am I right?
Putting your best Harfoots forward
RHOVANION -- The magical map of Middle-earth takes us to Rhovanion, where we find Harfoots hiding from a couple of wandering humans. (What's a Harfoot? Read about them here.) The dudes pass and Harfoots start popping up from all kinds of hiding places to reveal a bustling camp. Harfoot kids, led by one named Nori, are busy raiding berries from an old farm, but they have to split when a wolf turns up. Merry and Pippin would approve.
Back at camp, Nori's mom is a little peeved at her mischief. Nori starts wondering about life beyond -- it's big Little Mermaid / Part of Your World vibes. Her mom looks tired.
Meanwhile, Sadoc, who appears to be the elder Harfoot of the crew, seems to think something is off, cosmically speaking. Nori pops up looking for intel and he tells her to mind her own cartwheels.
At some point later, some big fiery thing goes streaking through the sky and crashes not far from camp. Nori goes to investigate the smoking crater.
Oh good. It's an old man in a loincloth.
Elves, reunited
LINDON -- Elrond is up a tree having a poetic moment with his journal when he finds out Galadriel has returned. They reunite, there's some cheek-stroking and some elvish, and she gets him up to speed on the whole sigil deal. Galadriel wants to ask the High King Gil-galad for a new command so she can take off again, but Elrond is all cool your jets, sister. Again, paraphrasing. If anything, she stayed out too long and the High King is being gracious in not being mad at her for not coming back sooner.
Later, the High King holds a ceremony for Galdriel's company. He spins her findings as proof that the threat is past and Sauron is no longer a problem. (Just wait until this guy watches the original trilogy.)
"Today, our days of peace begin," he elf-splains. Moreover, he awards the crew the opportunity to return to Valinor. Which is technically a good thing, but Galadriel is like thanks, I hate it.
After the ceremony, she skirmishes with Elrond.
"Evil does not sleep, it waits," she says. He basically tells her not to worry about it and go to Valinor because there's not a single male elf she can count on, apparently.
Next, we see Galadriel and company standing in their armor on the deck of a ship heading to Valinor. The elves can build cities, but apparently not benches. As they near Valinor, giant clouds open up, light pours through and everyone on board starts singing, except Galadriel, who looks around as if she's about to pull a Jim Halpert face at the camera. The other elves are entranced as they get closer to the light. She looks down at her brother's dagger. She starts backing up from the light like it's a coworker with coffee breath, and Insubordinate Elf tries one last time to pressure her into doing what she knows is the wrong thing. The scene is very Joe Gardner in Pixar's Soul trying to escape the conveyor belt to the great beyond.
Before we know it, Galadriel flipping jumps overboard.
Back at Lindon, Elrond chats with the High King, whose sideburns seem to have taken the house, the kids, the dog and run off from his ears. He introduces Elrond to Celebrimbor, a renowned elven smith who looks like a lost Sheen brother.
Later, a singular orange leaf falls in front of the High King. When he picks it up, its veins fill with black crap. It feels inauspicious.
All along the watchtower
SOUTHLANDS -- We come upon a rural village of men, called Tirharad. A couple of elves turn up and one walks into the local pub, where the guy who I assume is the proprietor of the establishment, is butchering an animal, shirtless. Health code violations. They are numerous.
The elf, Arondir, chats with him about some weird happenings -- grass out east that's been making animals sick. A local hoodlum gets Arondir into an altercation and basically what you need to know is that this town of men, generations back, sided with Morgoth and has been occupied by elves ever since.
Out back by the well, Arondir chats up a human woman named Bronwyn who flirts with him via a vial of flower seeds. Later, his elf buddy warns him of the perils of a "pairing between elves and humans." Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Lord of the Rings: After Dark.
In any case, they later get word that the war is over and soon they'll get to go home. Arondir has been at the watchtower by the town for 79 years. He goes to Bronwyn's house, where they stand at a COVID-safe distance and she says, "Say what you wish to say."
This saucy moment is interrupted by a local farmer with a sick cow. For clarification, Bronwyn is a healer. This guy isn't just parading his cow around for shiggles. The cow had been grazing out east, and when Arondir milks it, it definitively answers the question: "Got milk?" with a viscous black sludge. Expect a letter from lawyers at the Dairy Council, Amazon.
Elsewhere, Bronwyn's son Theo is lurking around a barn with a friend and finds a broken sword hilt under some floorboards. It's marked with Sauron's sigil and starts flaming.
Post cow sludge, Arondir and Bronwyn head east to investigate. They go toward the town where she grew up, and he makes a comment about those folks being descended from Morgoth supporters. Kind of rude. But his spicy moment continues. "You're the only kind touch I've known in all my days in this land."
Yikes. Things are sure heating up. But it's not the romance between Arondir and Bronwyn. It's the town. Because it is on fire.

Ahead of a new chapter in her career, Lea Michele is discussing her past.
Days before her upcoming debut as Fanny Brice in Broadway's Funny Girl, the 35-year-old opened up about the aspects of her professional life, including past allegations about her conduct amongst Glee co-stars.
(In June 2020, Glee star Samantha Ware accused Michele of making her experience on the show, which ran from 2009 to 2015, "a living hell" and said she faced "traumatic microaggressions" from Michele. In response, Michele issued an apology for the ways "she hurt other people.")
Now, the Scream Queens actress said that the allegations against her evoked an "intense time of reflection."
"I really understand the importance and value now of being a leader," she told the New York Times in an interview published Sept. 1. "It means not only going and doing a good job when the camera's rolling, but also when it's not. And that wasn't always the most important thing for me."
She continued, "I have an edge to me. I work really hard. I leave no room for mistakes. That level of perfectionism, or that pressure of perfectionism, left me with a lot of blind spots."
In addition to reflecting on past allegations, Michele also addressed a rumor that once circulated about her not being able to read or write. (According to i-D, the online rumor traces back to a Facebook Live video made by podcasters in 2017.)
"I went to ‘Glee' every single day; I knew my lines every single day," Michele told NYT. "And then there's a rumor online that I can't read or write? It's sad. It really is. I think often if I were a man, a lot of this wouldn't be the case."
However, Michele, who married Zandy Reich in 2019 and welcomed their son, Ever, in August 2020, said she's focusing on her new role with a completely different outlook as a wife and mom—and isn't worried about the accolades that may or may not come with it.
"You might think that's the biggest piece of bull that I'm going to say to you all day," Michele said. "But I really don't care about that at this point. It's just about being able to play this part." | https://www.eonline.com/news/1344503/lea-michele-addresses-past-allegations-and-sad-claim-that-she-can-t-read | 2022-09-02T06:40:41Z | https://www.eonline.com/news/1344503/lea-michele-addresses-past-allegations-and-sad-claim-that-she-can-t-read | false |
Gold prices crawled higher on Friday ahead of a key U.S. labour report, but the metal faces a third consecutive weekly loss on bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve will retain its aggressive rate-hike stance.
Spot gold rose 0.2% to $1,699.40 per ounce by 0349 GMT, as of 0055 GMT but was down 2% for the week so far.
U.S. gold futures were up 0.1% at $1,710.50.
The dollar index was slightly off a 20-year peak scaled in the previous session but was on track for a third straight weekly rise.
A weaker-than-expected data could offer a temporary respite from gold selling, said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management.
However, "the market is still really playing on a higher-for-longer U.S. interest rate narrative."
U.S. non-farm payrolls data is due at 1230 GMT and is likely to show 300,000 jobs were added in August.
Data on Thursday showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell to a two-month low last week, while layoffs dropped in August suggesting the central bank would need to continue aggressively raising rates.
While U.S. manufacturing grew steadily last month, factory activity in China, the euro zone and Britain fell.
Major central banks are expected to continue with aggressive monetary policy tightening to rein in sky-high inflation but is also fanning fears of an economic slowdown.
Even though gold is seen as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties, higher interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding the bullion.
Technical support is not evident until $1,675/oz and gold could easily get there given the current rate of decline and the generally bearish environment for the precious metal, Edward Meir, an analyst with ED&F Man Capital Markets said in a note.
Spot silver and platinum were flat at $17.84 and $828.00 per ounce, respectively. Palladium rose 1.1% to $2,035.69.

Has Hannah Brown and Adam Woolard's journey together come to an end?
After the Bachelorette star shared a new TikTok where she lip-synced to an audio that said they were done "falling in love with everyone," people began wondering if that was a sign she and Adam has broken up.
"I just want to let everyone know that I'm no longer in my 'falling in love with everyone phase,'" the audio says. "I'm done with that. I only love Jesus now."
Naturally, this led many people to have questions about the reality TV star's current relationship status.
One comment underneath the clip read, "Soooo is she and Adam broken up??"
Hannah, who first appeared on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor before starring in The Bachelorette, quickly clarified her intentions by sharing the post and wrote, "Omg no!! Just referencing my time as bachelorette."
Hannah and Adam, a model and meditation/lifestyle coach, first sparked romance rumors in early 2021, and recently moved in together in a Santa Monica apartment.
She captioned the video,"#bacherlorette life update #jesusstilllovesme #jesuslovesyou #bachelor #relationshipadvice."
Hannah and Adam, a model and meditation/lifestyle coach, first sparked romance rumors in early 2021, and recently moved in together in a Santa Monica apartment.
"We plan to use it equally for relaxing by ourselves and for entertaining," she told People in May of there move. "We love throwing dinner parties and get-togethers for our friends and we both wanted our place to be somewhere everyone could gather to celebrate life."
She added, "Creating a community and fellowship is super important to us, so we wanted to have a dining area that could facilitate that." | https://www.eonline.com/news/1344563/bachelor-nation-s-hannah-brown-addresses-adam-woolard-breakup-speculation | 2022-09-02T06:42:28Z | https://www.eonline.com/news/1344563/bachelor-nation-s-hannah-brown-addresses-adam-woolard-breakup-speculation | true |
Shia LaBeouf is admitting all of his wrongs on the road to redemption.
The Tax Collector actor, 36, recently confessed to misrepresenting his father, Jeffrey Craig LaBeouf, as abusive in the 2019 drama Honey Boy, which Shia wrote and previously said was an autobiographical tale inspired by his uneasy relationship with his dad as a child actor.
"I wrote this narrative which was just f--king nonsense," Shia admitted during the Aug. 31 episode of Jon Bernthal's Real Ones podcast. "My dad was so loving to me my whole life. Fractures? Sure. Crooked? Sure. Wonky? For sure, but never was not loving, never was not there. He was always there."
Shia said he did a "world press tour about how f--ked" his father was as a man however, he acknowledged that he "wronged him."
In Honey Boy, Shai stars as James Lort, a former clown, former alcoholic and a convicted sex offender who became envious of his son's success as an actor.
The Alma Har'el-directed film also stars Lucas Hedges, Noah Jupe and Shia's ex, FKA twigs, who sued the Holes actor for sexual battery in 2020. (Shia denied the allegations in a 2021 legal filing, however, the case will go to trial in April 2023.)
Shia noted that his father questioned him about the inaccuracies in the project, saying that the plot of the film did not match what was in the script his father was sent.
"I remember getting on the phone with him and him being like, 'You know, I never read this stuff in the script you sent,'" Shia recalled on Real Ones. "Because I didn't put that s--t in there," he shared. "I was bulls--tting him. I was just trying to get him to sign this piece of paper."
The Emmy winner disclosed that he "turned the knob up on certain s--t that wasn't real" within the film's storyline. "My dad never hit me. Never. He spanked me once. One time," Shia noted. "And the story that gets painted in Honey Boy is like, this dude was abusing his kid all the time."
The Fury actor added, "But that wasn't my narrative because it didn't position me as this wounded, fractured child that you could root for, which is what I was using him for."
Despite inaccurately portraying Jeffrey as abusive, the 74-year-old spoke about the film the year it was released, saying that several parts of the movie were inaccurate.
"I never hit Shia in the face," he said in an interview with Gen in Nov. 2019. "I did threaten him one time. In terms of being physical with him, when he was a baby or young boy, and he wanted to have a tantrum and scream and holler and cry, I would pick him up by one foot upside down, and he would totally change. His demeanor would go to wonder and awe. And there was no need to spank him."
Shia has since made amends with his father by taking accountability for the "certain narrative" that he would have to publicly live with for the rest of his life.
Shia said that after reuniting with his father in 2021, he helped his father with his battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and with his sobriety journey, calling it "probably the crowning achievement of any amends I've made."

Leaking pipe in Suffolk street has been 'running for weeks'
- Credit: GOOGLE MAPS
A major pipe leak has been pouring water on to a Suffolk town street for a number of weeks, raising fears about waste during drought conditions.
Residents in Leiston have posted on Facebook about the rupture in Roberts Road, which they said had been gushing for a long time and was particularly concerning when the county was moved into drought status by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in August.
The leak is coming from a private water pipe which feeds several homes in the street.
Another resident has written to Suffolk Coastal MP Therese Coffey, who will be raising the concerns with water company Essex and Suffolk Water, which is responsible for the area.
A resident, who did not wish to be named, said: “In times of water shortages and drought nationwide, it is an appalling situation to say the least.
“Heaven only knows how much fresh, clean, precious water has been literally wasted down the drain in the weeks it's been running, perhaps!?”
A Facebook poster said: “It's a ridiculous waste of water. Running straight down the road and into a drain.”

Another added: “It’s so bad that’s probably why the country has a drought.”
A spokesperson for Essex and Suffolk Water said: “We are aware of a leak on Roberts Road, Leiston, which is on a private water pipe feeding several homes.
“This leak lies within the boundary of the properties and so is their responsibility to repair it, however, we are supporting the customers to carry out a repair as soon as possible.

Busted star Matt Willis is set to reveal all about his drug and alcohol addiction in a heartbreaking new documentary. Matt, husband of Sutton Coldfield star Emma, will lay bare his demons.
The documentary will be released on BBC Three, it is reported. “This will be equally personal for Matt, as he has never delved so deep into his past before, at least not in public," said a source.
“It will reveal how some of his problems stemmed from a childhood where his parents made him feel he should conform to male stereotypes. That included telling him that boys don’t cry, which meant he never shed a tear until he was 29 years old.”

Last year, Matt revealed how he discussed his past addiction issues with his three young children. Matt shares Ace, Isabelle and Trixie with his wife Emma Willis, who he wed in 2008.
He has never hidden his past from his children, who are all aware Matt cannot drink as he has spent time in rehab to address his struggles with drink and drugs.
Opening up about how he addresses this past part of his life, and his ongoing recovery with his children, Matt told Fabulous magazine: "I quit alcohol a few months into Isabelle’s life and I just hope she wasn’t impacted by [me drinking] at all."

British tennis stars keep up efforts at US Open as Nadal recovers to advance
Britain’s fine US Open efforts continued on Thursday as Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans both won to make it four men through to the third round for the first time in professional tennis history.
Rafael Nadal survived a scare in the final match of the day, coming from a set and 4-2 down to defeat Fabio Fognini, while women’s top seed Iga Swiatek had a much more comfortable time of it against former champion Sloane Stephens.
There was defeat, though, in the doubles for Serena and Venus Williams in what looks set to be their final appearance together.

“Do you realize the bullet out of an AR-15 travels five times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun, five times — is lighter — and can pierce Kevlar?”
— Biden, remarks on Safer Communities Act at the White House, July 11
Several readers asked about the president’s comment this week that a round from an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle travels five times faster than any other gun. When we asked about the evidence for this claim, a White House official pointed to his remarks in July — “almost twice as fast” — as a more specific statement.
Translation: the president bungled the statistic the second time around. As is often the case with Biden, a carefully-crafted sentence in his prepared text got hyped up in his retelling weeks later.
Still, we were curious at what academic research shows.
The Facts
First of all, Biden was clearly wrong in statement this week.
“President Biden’s statement that a bullet shot from an AR-15 travels 5x faster than a bullet shot out of ‘any other gun’ is false,” said E. Gregory Wallace, a law professor at Campbell University who has closely examined the lethality of AR-15s, in an email. “His statement that the AR-15’s bullet can penetrate the soft Kevlar vests worn by law enforcement is correct.” But Wallace added that the statement lacked context: “That is true of almost all centerfire rifle bullets. Body armor protection against rifle bullets require steel, ceramic, or composite plates.”
A 2016 academic study by a group of trauma surgeons led by Peter Rhee, titled “Gunshot wounds: A review of ballistics, bullets, weapons, and myths,” examined the muzzle velocity of various firearms. Muzzle velocity is the speed at which the bullet leaves the barrel of the weapon. That is then used to calculate muzzle energy, which equates to wounding potential. The further a bullet gets from a firearm, the less energy and wounding power it has.
A .44 magnum handgun, for instance, has muzzle velocity of 1,550 feet per second, the study said. A 9mm handgun, the most popular, has muzzle velocity of 1,200 feet per second.
Meanwhile, an AR-15 5.56 caliber weapon clocks in at 3,251 feet per second. That would be almost three times faster than the 9mm handgun.
“Muzzle velocity is determined by several factors, including bullet size and weight and barrel length, but generally .223 or 5.56 rounds typically fired from AR-15s have a velocities in the high 2000s to low 3000s feet per second (fps),” Wallace said. “Handguns, on the other hand, fire rounds at slower velocities, with 9mm rounds in the 1000-1100 fps range and .45 caliber rounds in the 900-1000 fps range. Centerfire rifles rounds (e.g., not .22 caliber rifles) typically have higher velocities than handguns.”
Within those parameters, the more careful sentence Biden uttered in July — “the most common rounds fired from an AR-15 move almost twice as fast as that from a handgun” even slightly understates the case.
But Wallace also said the “larger point [Biden] seems to be making about AR-15s is that they are more lethal or dangerous than ‘all other guns’ because of their high velocity rounds. … Considering all relevant factors, including velocity, the AR-15 is more lethal than some firearms, but less lethal than others.” At 100 yards, the AR-15’s velocity is only slightly faster than most hunting rifles.
In a 2020 article for the Tennessee Law Review, Wallace criticized several legal rulings that he said assumed AR-15s are more lethal than other firearms. “The AR-15’s rate of fire is virtually identical to non-banned semiautomatic handguns, rifles, and shotguns,” he wrote. “Its accuracy is better than some firearms but worse than others. Like any rifle, its bullets typically cause more serious wounds than handguns, but not as serious wounds as larger-caliber hunting and target rifles.”
The Pinocchio Test
Regular readers know that we don’t play gotcha, so this won’t be rated. Biden got his talking point correct in July, while messing it up in August. In the interest of keeping presidential statements correct, the White House should correct the official transcript with a notation that Biden should have said two times, rather than five times. Readers also should be aware the comparison on muzzle velocity may say less about the lethality of AR-15s than Biden implies.

TENNIS
NEW YORK — Serena and Venus Williams lost in the first round of doubles at the U.S. Open.
They were eliminated by the Czech pair of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova 7-6 (5), 6-4 on Thursday night.
Arthur Ashe Stadium had never hosted a first-round doubles match until this one featuring two American sisters who have combined to claim 14 Grand Slam titles in doubles, but were partnering for the first time since the 2018 French Open.
This was their fourth first-round doubles defeat at a Slam; the most recent had been at the 2013 French Open.
The 17-year-old Noskova was making her Grand Slam doubles debut. The 37-year-old Hradecka won two major doubles trophies with a different partner.
NFL
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver quarterback Russell Wilson signed a five-year, $245 million extension Thursday that includes $165 million in guarantees, the biggest contract in Broncos history and one of the largest ever in the NFL.
Wilson’s new deal comes three weeks after the league approved the record $4.65 billion sale of the team to the ownership group led by Walmart heir Rob Walton and CEO Greg Penner.
General manager George Paton thanked Penner “and our entire ownership group for the support and resources to get this long-term extension done.”
The extension pays Wilson an average of $49 million a year beginning in 2024 and keeps him under contract in Denver through the 2028 season for $296 million. He had two years and $51 million left on his deal when the Broncos acquired him from Seattle for five draft picks and three players in a franchise-changing trade six months ago.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have placed Sam Darnold on injured reserve, meaning the backup quarterback will miss at least the first four games of the regular season.
Darnold sustained a high ankle sprain during Carolina’s preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 19.
He started 11 games last season for the Panthers in 2021, but lost his starting job to Baker Mayfield during the preseason. General manager Scott Fitterer said the Panthers have no plans to add a quarterback to the 53-man roster at this time and are comfortable going into the season with P.J. Walker as Mayfield’s backup.
OXON HILL, Md. — Brian Robinson Jr. will miss at least the Washington Commanders’ first four games of the NFL season after being shot during at attempted robbery last weekend.
The team put the rookie running back on the non-football injury list Thursday, a move that makes Washington’s game Oct. 9 against Tennessee the first game Robinson will be eligible to play. Coach Ron Rivera said the decision was made on the advice of doctors.
Robinson had surgery Monday after being shot twice in the right leg Sunday in Washington and was released from the hospital hours later. He visited the team facility on crutches the next two days to meet with doctors, coaches and teammates.
MLB
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball has suspended free agent pitcher Carlos Martinez for 85 games for violating its joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.
MLB said Thursday the punishment is retroactive to June 19. Under the policy, Martinez will participate in a confidential evaluation and treatment program supervised by the league’s joint policy board.
The 30-year-old Martinez also was suspended for 80 games in May under baseball’s minor league drug program after he tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Ibutamoren, which increases Human Growth Hormone.
The right-hander signed a minor league contract with San Francisco on March 19. He was released and signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox on May 7.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas added an additional year to football coach Lance Leipold’s contract Thursday that will keep him on the sideline through the 2027 season, a reward for a two-win first year that raised hopes for a long-awaited turnaround.
Leipold was hired last year, shortly after the Jayhawks parted with Les Miles following a winless season and amid sexual harassment allegations from his time at LSU. And despite never having an opportunity to put together a full recruiting class or working with his team in spring football, Leipold’s progress was evident in a late-season upset of Texas.
Kansas opens this season Friday night against Tennessee Tech.
WOMEN’S HOCKEY
HERNING, Denmark — United States forward Hilary Knight broke the record for career points at the women’s hockey world championship with a goal and an assist Thursday as the Americans overpowered Hungary 12-1 in the quarterfinals.
The 33-year-old Knight has a total of 87 points from 12 appearances at the worlds, surpassing Canadian forward Hayley Wickenheiser’s previous mark of 86.
Knight also has the record for goals in the tournament with 51.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir calls his Arab colleagues “terrorists.” He wants to deport his political opponents, and in his youth, his views were so extreme that the army banned him from compulsory military service.
Yet today, the populist lawmaker who was once relegated to the margins of Israeli politics is surging ahead in the polls ahead of November elections. He has received the blessing of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is poised to emerge as a major force that could propel the onetime premier back to power.
Ben-Gvir’s stunning rise is the culmination of years of efforts by the media-savvy lawmaker to gain legitimacy. But it also reflects a rightward shift in the Israeli electorate that has brought his religious, ultranationalist ideology into the mainstream and all but extinguished hopes for Palestinian independence.
“Over the last year I’ve been on a mission to save Israel,” Ben-Gvir recently told reporters. “Millions of citizens are waiting for a real right-wing government. The time has come to give them one.”
Ben-Gvir, 46, has been a fixture of Israel’s extreme right for more than two decades, gaining notoriety in his youth as a disciple of the late radical rabbi, Meir Kahane. He first became a national figure when he famously broke a hood ornament off then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s car in 1995.
“We got to his car, and we’ll get to him too,” he said, just weeks before Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist opposed to his peace efforts with the Palestinians.
Kahane’s violent anti-Arab ideology -- which included calls to ban Jewish-Arab intermarriage and for the mass expulsion of Palestinians -- was considered so repugnant that Israel banned him from parliament and the U.S. listed his party as a terrorist group. Kahane himself was assassinated by an Arab assailant in New York in 1990.
But in recent years, his followers and some of his ideas have made their way to the Israeli mainstream — in large part thanks to Ben-Gvir.
He transitioned into politics last year after a career as a lawyer defending radical Jewish West Bank settlers. His intimate knowledge of the law has helped him test the boundaries of the country’s incitement laws and avoid sanctions that have prevented some of his closest associates from running in elections.
Ben-Gvir, for instance, calls Kahane “righteous and holy” but also says he doesn’t agree with everything his former mentor said. He's careful to limit his own calls for expulsion to those who engage in violence and lawmakers — Jewish or Arab — who he says undermine the state.
Before entering politics, he removed a photo of Baruch Goldstein -- a Jewish militant who gunned down 29 Palestinians in a mosque in 1994 -- from his living room. He no longer allows his supporters to chant “Death to Arabs” at political rallies. Instead, they are told to say, “Death to terrorists!”
Supporters say Ben-Gvir has changed, been misunderstood, or wrongly painted an extremist.
“People mature. People develop,” said Nevo Cohen, Ben-Gvir’s campaign manager. “They stuck a label on Ben-Gvir that is totally wrong.”
Ben-Gvir’s office turned down an interview request. But he makes frequent appearances on Israeli TV and radio, displaying a cheerful demeanor, quit wit and knack for deflecting criticism as he banters with his hosts.
He also has tapped into a wave of anti-Arab and nationalist sentiment driven by years of violence, failed peace efforts and demographic changes. Ben-Gvir’s supporters are largely religious and ultra-Orthodox Jews, who tend to have large families, and also come from the influential West Bank settler movement. Ben-Gvir himself lives in a hard-line settlement next to the West Bank city of Hebron, home to more than 200,000 Palestinians.
“He is a populist demagogue. He plays on the sentiments of hate and fear of Arabs,” said Shuki Friedman, an expert on Israel’s far right at the Jewish People Policy Institute. “He interviews well, he is good on camera and he has had plenty of screen time that has given him legitimacy.”
In the opposition over the past year, Ben-Gvir has positioned himself as a rabble rouser against the government -- the first ever to have an Arab party as a member. He publicly quarreled with Arab lawmakers in scenes captured on camera and widely broadcast.
In the tense run-up to last year’s Gaza war, he staged provocative visits to Arab neighborhoods, rallying ultranationalist supporters to confront Palestinians and assert “Jewish Power” — the name of his party.
He set up an outdoor parliamentary “office” in an Arab neighborhood of east Jerusalem where Jewish settlers are trying to expel Palestinians from their homes, setting off a melee. He later called for police to use live fire against Palestinian protesters at a flashpoint holy site.
His surge in the polls has made him a central figure in Netanyahu’s comeback strategy.
Netanyahu is on trial for corruption, and the public is again torn over his fitness to rule. After four consecutive inconclusive elections, Netanyahu and his Likud party hope to break the logjam with Ben-Gvir’s support.
“Yes, Ben-Gvir is someone very militant and yes, sometimes a little provocative, but he is someone who cares about Israel,” said Likud lawmaker and Netanyahu confidant Miki Zohar, who insisted Ben-Gvir would fall in line under a Netanyahu-led government.
Last week, Netanyahu personally brokered a deal between Ben-Gvir and a rival far-right leader, Bezalel Smotrich, to ensure they run together. If they hadn’t, Smotrich might not have made it into parliament, depriving Netanyahu of a critical source of support.
“Joining forces is the order of the day,” Netanyahu said.
One recent poll forecast Ben-Gvir’s alliance with 12 seats, which would make it parliament’s fourth-largest. That means Netanyahu almost certainly would make Ben-Gvir a Cabinet minister if he can form a government.
Ben-Gvir has said his first order of business would be to pass a law allowing deportations of those who allegedly subvert the country and its security forces. He has proposed imposing the death penalty for “terrorists” and granting immunity to soldiers accused of committing violent crimes against Palestinians.
Thabet Abu Rass, the Arab co-director of the Abraham Initiatives, which promotes Jewish-Arab coexistence, said the mainstreaming of figures like Ben-Gvir is not only a threat to Israel’s Arab citizens, but to the country as a whole.
By branding Arab members of parliament as traitors who should be expelled, Ben Gvir delegitimizes the political participation of Arab citizens — who make up around 20% of Israel's population — and the possibility of Jewish-Arab partnerships, Abu Rass said.
“It’s very dangerous for the whole Israeli society,” he said. “It’s going to bring about the collapse of democracy.” | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Extremist-lawmaker-surges-ahead-of-elections-in-17414559.php | 2022-09-02T07:28:06Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Extremist-lawmaker-surges-ahead-of-elections-in-17414559.php | false |

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the step-by-step clarification of regulatory policies at home and abroad, the industry is experiencing unprecedented iterations and upgrades. After reshuffling, how can the remaining manufacturers deploy future strategies to meet the interests of the state, industry and users? The key lies in whether they can have a thorough understanding of user needs,and how they can practice their "user-centric" philosophy to bring users a better vaping experience.
Along with the continuous innovation of atomization technology, people's consumption habits of vape devices keep changing. According to the research of Sullivan, before 2014 was the initial experience stage of e-cigarette users, when the e-cigarette devices were mixed and the quality varied; between 2015 and 2019, with technology development and the rise of numerous business brands, vape gradually accepted by the public and the global market continues to expand. Nowadays, taste has become the core factor of user experience in a diverse and bloom market,and the key to the taste is the use of new technology and new materials. Therefore,atomization core, one of the most important core components of electronic atomizers, attracts the most attention and its iteration also promotes the transformation and upgrading of electronic cigarette products and the industry.
Chapter 1. Future trends in atomization cores: the place where vape brands must fight
The iteration of the atomization core mainly carried out by increasing the safety, enhancing the vaping experience,replacing the material and improving the structure, etc. The aim is to strengthen the processability of the atomization core. So far, the material of the atomization core has experienced from glass fiber rope wrapped heating wire, to resistance wire cotton core, to ceramic core the three generations of technology iterations. At present, the ceramic core in the Chinese market accounts for 85%.
Head Leopard released "2021 China electronic atomizer industry overview" and it shows that in the Chinese market, ceramic core is more favored by business and consumers because of high efficiency, stable taste and not easy to be burnt. From a global perspective, ceramic core with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, strong adsorption, good stability and better environmental friendly advantages, has also become the development direction of vape device upgrades, and many manufacturers have shown the latest ceramic core solutions. Ceramic core technology has become a key indicator to a company's technological level,and it has obvious advantages compared to cotton core technology in terms of market share and product features.
After years of development, the use of ceramic cores has formed a more complete industry chain. According to the introduction of R & D team of ICCPP, head enterprise in vaping industry, up to now, ceramic cores have experienced four different development stages, roughly presenting five major trends.
- The development of heating way comes from line heating to surface heating and the requirements of the heat uniformity is increasing.
- The ceramics used comes from low-temperature ceramics to high-temperature ceramic and the strength requirements of the ceramic continues to improve.
- Greater attention to the sticky powder on the ceramic calcination process,and the ceramic technology development comes to powder-free.
- The requirements for reduction of ceramics are getting higher and higher, and low reduction ceramics are gradually being eliminated.
- The ceramic atomization energy efficiency requirements continue to improve,and the lower the atomization power, the large smoke, the better.
Based on the forward-looking layout of the atomization core research, ICCPP,started from 2019, cooperated with several universities in China to carry out innovative material research. It set up an R&D group led by talents from the "Peacock Plan", and established Basic Material Institute to focus on the R&D and application of new electronic atomization materials. In terms of industralization effort, its goal is to reach the top of the industry in the 3rd to 4th generation of ceramic cores, the 5th to 6th generation to achieve a comprehensive surpass.
Chapter 2. How to make a good "Chinese atomization core"
Making a good atomization core has become a big issue in Chinese electronic atomization industry in recent years, and the key factor is the use of new materials. But the development of new things is always meandering. Due to materials and process defects, current ceramic core still exists many problems,such as poor taste reduction,poor stability and the problem of powder remains, even some mainstream products are also difficult to avoid. The taste is a key indicator for consumers to measure electronic atomization devices, while it is directly affected by the formulation, pore size, porosity as well as the atomization efficiency of ceramic core.
More critically, ceramic atomization technology has know-how barriers, mainly in the suitability of the e-liquid and ceramic core, micron-level pore size synthesis control and consistency , nicotine transfer efficiency, mass production defect rate, harmful substances precipitation rate and other professional fields. All of the above determines the stability, safety, harm reduction and even mass production costs of ceramic atomizaiton technology, so if you want to produce a ceramic core that perfectly meet the market demands, you need an overall upgrade on technical innovation, production process and vaping experience.
Enterprises at the front end of the industry chain today are also relying on their own in-depth research and development in ceramic materials, combustion process, ceramic structure, pod structure and other aspects of in-depth research and development and product experience, to have the opportunity to stand firm in the global market, and they have to adapt to the new changes constantly occuring in the market to withstand the verification of the authorities and industry.
It is reported that the Gene Tree nano-microcrystalline ceramic core was launched in October last year by ICCPP, which once again refreshed the value benchmark of ceramic cores and was regarded as a "deep water bomb" in the industry. In addition to solving the two pain points of powder remining and taste decay, Gene Tree ceramic core also has the advantages of longer battery life, higher energy efficiency and higher compacibility to e-liquid. During the research period, ICCPP has submitted more than 300 IPR applications, which will become one of its technology killer applications. In July this year, Gene Tree Special Edition, an innovative series of Gene Tree products, was released and has been well received by the industry. In the future, ICCPP will continue to play its core technology advantage and will launch more heavyweight products,apart from original ceramic core products to create a new high ground for electronic atomization.
Based on the manufacturing advantage, each Gene Tree ceramic core launched by ICCPP is produced by GMP 100,000 class clean workshop and supports 168 testing procedures to ensure quality. Its ceramic core plant covers an area of 60,000㎡, employs more than 5,000 people, with a maximum annual production of 300 million ceramic cores, and will next be in full swing to provide quality ceramic cores to global electronic atomizer brands and their own brand products. Of course, this is also few companies can be compared with it in the vape industry.
Chapter 3. Gene Tree 4.0:the latest ceramic core generation up to the international advanced level
In order to break the understanding of ceramic core technology barriers, atomization industry-related technical identification institutions and authoritative research institutes,pratice from data research, technical identification and other aspects of the overall atomization industry to let the technology back to the technology itself, so as to promote industry technological development and to bring consumers a better vaping experience.
The safety of ceramic cores is now recognized by authoritative institutions, which is inseparable from the head enterprises' continuous efforts,taking ICCPP for example.It upgraded the ceramic material formula and production process, which greatly improved the heating uniformity performance of ceramic cores and made accurate the temperature range control more accurate, while extending the ceramic life. With the top innovative technology and comprehensive taste performance, Gene Tree ceramic core will bring a refreshed technological experience for global consumers.
Recently, an appraisal committee consisting of Tsinghua University Research Institute, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen Institute of Inspection and Quarantine Science and other relevant units appraised the scientific and technological achievements of Gene Tree ceramic cores independently developed by ICCPP, and they unanimously agreed that the Gene Tree ceramic cores are novel, innovative and have an independent intellectual property right. The appraisal committee agreed that the two performance indexes of atomization reduction degree and atomization efficiency reach international advanced level, and agreed to pass the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements,which can also further strengthen the advantageous position of ICCPP in atomization core technology.
All these successes are inseparable from the efforts of ICCPP. After more than 1300 days of research and testing, more than 2500 groups of material formula attempts, and more than 45000 repeated analyses, ICCPP has launched a new generation of Gene Tree ceramic core.
- Powder-free ceramic atomization core: using self-developed "powder-free" innovative technology and pioneering ceramic material formula, breaking the bottleneck of traditional ceramic powder remains after calcination, so that the ceramic surface no longer has powder layer adhesion, to achieve a pure vaping product experience.
- Nano-microcrystalline ceramic core: the use of new eco-friendly mineral materials, three-dimensional network ceramic skeleton, crystal boundary microstructure and nano-level high-temperature crystal nuclei of new materials to improve the toughness of ceramic materials, so that the reduction degree of ceramic is greatly enhanced, the consistency of nicotine increases by 44% and the reduction of various flavors is also more adequate.
- Special innovative process application: adjusting the particle size and ratio of raw materials to create microscopic pore-making modifications and prepare an innovative multi-stage pore structure, fully guaranteeing Gene Tree's superb oil delivery compacity and oil absorbility. Besides, the atomization volume increases,the energy effectivity improves under the same power. The original M-shaped uniform heating film design, to achieve an overall atomization efficiency of 53.3%.
These successes are not over for the whole atomization industry, and there are many possibilities for the innovation and application of ceramic cores.we believe that in the future, it will continue to refine on the road to industrial empowerment.

FRANKFURT (AP) — Hundreds of Lufthansa flights were canceled Friday as pilots staged a one-day strike to press their demands for better pay and conditions at Germany's biggest carrier.
The airline said about 800 flights were grounded at its two biggest hubs, Frankfurt and Munich, due to the walkout. More than 100,000 passengers would be affected, it said.
Lufthansa said it had offered a one-off increase of 900 euros ($900), amounting to a 5% increase for senior pilots and an 18% increase for those starting the profession.
The pilots union Vereinigung Cockpit had called for a 5.5% raise this year and an automatic above-inflation increase in 2023. In addition, pilots are seeking a new pay and holiday structure that the airline said would increase its staffing costs by about 40%, or some 900 million euros over two years.
Strikes are a common tactic in labor disputes in Germany, where powerful unions have traditionally ensured good conditions for workers.
Germany has seen the highest inflation in decades this year amid a steep rise in energy prices. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Lufthansa-flights-grounded-as-pilots-up-pressure-17414601.php | 2022-09-02T07:40:43Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Lufthansa-flights-grounded-as-pilots-up-pressure-17414601.php | false |
`Gun misfire´ thwarts attempt to kill Argentina´s vice president
An attempt to kill Argentina’s politically powerful vice president Cristina Fernandez outside her home failed after a handgun misfired, according to the president.
The man who was seen brandishing the weapon was quickly overpowered by Ms Fernandez’s security officers during the incident on Thursday night, officials said.
President Alberto Fernandez said the pistol did not discharge when the man tried to fire it.

“A man pointed a firearm at her head and pulled the trigger,” the president said in a national broadcast following the incident.
He said the firearm was loaded with five bullets, but “didn’t fire even though the trigger was pulled”.
The vice president, herself a former leader of the country, did not appear to have suffered any injury, and the man was overpowered within seconds as he stood among a crowd of her supporters.
Gina De Bai, a witness who was near the vice president during the incident, told The Associated Press she heard “the sound of the trigger being pulled”. She said she did not realise it was a handgun until the man was rushed by security personnel.

President Fernandez, who is not related to the vice president, called it “the most serious incident since we recovered democracy” in 1983 after a military dictatorship and urged political leaders, and society at large, to repudiate the attempted shooting.
The attack came as the vice president is facing a trial for alleged acts of corruption during her 2007-2015 presidency – charges that she vehemently denies and that have led her supporters to surround her home in the upscale Recoleta area of Argentina’s capital.
Video broadcast on local television channels showed Ms Fernandez exiting her vehicle surrounded by supporters when a man is seen extending his hand with what looks like a pistol.
The vice president ducks as people around the apparent gunman appear shocked at what is happening.
Unverified video posted on social media shows the pistol almost touched Ms Fernandez’s face.

The alleged gunman was identified as Fernando Andre Sabag Montiel, a Brazilian citizen, said an official at the Security Ministry. He does not have a criminal record, the official said, adding that the weapon was a .32-calibre Bersa.
The president declared Friday a holiday “so the Argentine people can, in peace and harmony, express itself in defence of life, democracy and in solidarity with our vice president”.
Supporters of the vice president have been gathering in the streets surrounding her home since last week, when a prosecutor called for a 12-year sentence for Ms Fernandez as well as a life-long prohibition in holding public office in the corruption case.
Shortly after the incident, government officials were quick to decry what they called an assassination attempt.
“When hate and violence are imposed over the debate of ideas, societies are destroyed and generate situations like the one seen today: an assassination attempt,” economy minister Sergio Massa said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11172407/Gun-misfire-thwarts-attempt-kill-Argentina-s-vice-president.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-02T07:43:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11172407/Gun-misfire-thwarts-attempt-kill-Argentina-s-vice-president.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

HONG KONG, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fosun International Limited (HKEX stock code: 00656, "Fosun International"), together with its subsidiaries ("Fosun" or the "Group") held its 2022 interim results presentation on 31 August in the form of online webcast. The management of Fosun International introduced Fosun's corporate strategies, operational indicators, ESG performance and other topics of investors' concern.
"Globalization is not just about exporting Chinese products overseas, nor just importing overseas products to China, but it is more about using global resources to create greater value for customers worldwide." Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, said that Fosun's globalization strategy aims to take the world as a whole, through deepening its global business presence and building a diverse talent pool, use the most suitable resources to deeply cultivate key areas, and achieve mutual empowerment and rapid growth within the ecosystem. "In the future, Fosun will unswervingly consolidate its globalization capabilities and create more value for customers."
Against the backdrop of the complex and volatile external environment, Fosun achieved steady revenue growth in the first half of the year, with total revenue reaching RMB82.89 billion, representing an increase of 17.7% over the same period in 2021; enterprise operation profit amounted to RMB2.33 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 35.5%; profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to RMB2.70 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 32.6%; industrial operation profit was RMB3.61 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 35.9%
"The decline in the Group's net profit attributable to owners of the parent in the first half of the year was mainly affected by the pandemic, rising commodity raw material prices and fluctuations in the capital market." said Gong Ping, Executive President and Chief Financial Officer of Fosun International, "We also noticed that after entering the second half of the year, the financial and operational indicators of companies in multiple segments have rapidly shown a steady recovery, thanks to the Group's long-term adherence to profound industry operations."
In the interim results announcement, Fosun disclosed its enterprise operation profit, which includes the profit contribution of the major members of the Group, of which the profit of A-share listed members is adjusted to exclude the gain/loss of the non-recurring items. "The enterprise operation profit excludes the influence of secondary market investment and other factors in the industrial operation profit disclosed in the same period. When the market entered a period of severe fluctuations, this indicator increased significantly, reflecting the Fosun's continuous consolidation of the industry operations of its member companies over the years, which is also the driving force for Fosun's long-term sustainable development." Gong Ping said.
Fosun continued to strengthen its presence in four major segments of Health, Happiness, Wealth and Intelligent Manufacturing and achieved steady business development. In the first half of the year, all segments achieved revenue growth. The total revenue of the Health segment was RMB23.37 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 21.2%. The total revenue of the Happiness segment was RMB32.07 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.5%. The total revenue of the Wealth segment was RMB22.97 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.9%. The total revenue of the Intelligent Manufacturing segment was RMB5.13 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 43.6%.
In the first half of the year, Fosun Tourism Group in the Happiness segment delivered outstanding results, its revenue nearly increased by two-fold year-on-year. "This was mainly due to the lifting of travel restrictions in major overseas tourism destinations. The business of Club Med has rebounded strongly, its business volume recovered to 90% of the same period of 2019, and subsequent bookings have also shown a growth momentum." Xu Xiaoliang, Co-CEO of Fosun International said, with the rising winter sports and the Chinese market, Fosun Tourism Group will increase investment and accelerate its development in such area. From the beginning of this year to the end of 2024, Club Med has signed contracts and planned to open a total of 17 new resorts.
While developing its businesses, Fosun emphasizes the use of ESG criteria to assess its own sustainable development capability. Fosun has achieved remarkable ESG performance. As at the end of the reporting period, Fosun International was the only conglomerate in the Greater China region with a MSCI ESG rating of AA. Wang Qunbin, Co-Chairman of Fosun International, said: "Fosun has established a comprehensive top-down ESG governance structure and management system, including the incorporation of ESG performance into KPIs of executive directors, the establishment of an ESG committee to strengthen ESG management of the board of directors, etc. to integrate sustainability into its industry operations, and continue to practice the original aspiration of Self-improvement, Teamwork, Performance, and Contribution to Society."
This year, Fosun enters into the 30 years of establishment. It has developed into a global innovation-driven consumer group, dedicated to creating happier lives for families worldwide. Guo Guangchang said that looking ahead, Fosun will adhere to its strategic leadership and leverage the advantages brought by its long-term accumulation of core competencies to stimulate potential, promote faster and better development of the Group, and join hands with customers, partners, investors and all parties in the society to create a happy ecosystem and share happiness and value of Fosun.

A glitch in the matrix! Man snaps mind-bending photo with his 'doppelgänger' after 'randomly swimming past him' in a Las Vegas pool
- Sean Douglas McArdle randomly past his doppelgänger on holiday in Las Vegas
- The pair posed for a hilarious snap which has since gained over 95,000 likes
- Taking to Reddit he said he wasn't 'convinced until now we are in a simulation'
A man has said he's convinced he is living 'in a simulation' after he swam past his doppelgänger in a swimming pool while on holiday in Las Vegas.
Sean Douglas McArdle was shocked when he bumped into the stranger, who looked like his identical twin at the Flamingo in the Nevada city.
The pair posed for a hilarious snap which has since been shared on Reddit and been liked more than 95,000 times.
Not only did the pair look very similar, but they were also wearing the same glasses and a similar hat.
Sean Douglas McArdle was shocked when he bumped into the stranger who looked like his identical twin at the Flamingo in Las Vegas
Sean wrote: 'I wasn't convinced until now… we are definitely in a simulation.
'Today I randomly swam past my doppelgänger at the Flamingo pool in Vegas.'
Sean also shared a photo and it's undeniable – the resemblance between him and this other man is uncanny.
He explained on the post how he'd seen a group of people pointing and laughing at him whilst he was in the pool.
Many rushed to the comments section to joke about how strange the situation was and some joked there's three of them in every brewery
However, it turned out the group had spotted his double swimming near by.
When asked by someone if this is his actual twin and is he being 'sarcastic' he explained: 'Nope. I was just swimming by in the pool and a big group of strangers were pointing at me and laughing.
'I got really self conscious, looked back at my friends and they were all pointing and laughing at him. Thats when I saw him.'
When asked what went through his head upon first spotting his doppelganger, Sean responded: 'I immediately thought: "holy s*** that guy looks like the dude I see in the mirror", and my second thought was: "He looks cooler than me".
'Probably has real Club Master Ray Bans unlike my Zenni knock-offs.'
A Reddit user joked:' There are three of you guys at every brewery.'
Another wrote: 'They exist simultaneously within easy reach of every craft beer. I don't get the science behind it, but it's an interesting phenomenon nonetheless.'
Others were convinced he was living in a computer game reality, with one saying: 'Maybe the player is using console commands to take control of you and steal your valuable items, or make you do embarrassing stuff.
'Have you ever done something that you felt you had no control over? That's the player.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11169563/US-man-finds-doppelg-nger-Las-Vegas-swimming-pool.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-02T08:06:47Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11169563/US-man-finds-doppelg-nger-Las-Vegas-swimming-pool.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

HONG KONG, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fosun International Limited (HKEX stock code: 00656, "Fosun International"), together with its subsidiaries ("Fosun" or the "Group") held its 2022 interim results presentation on 31 August in the form of online webcast. The management of Fosun International introduced Fosun's corporate strategies, operational indicators, ESG performance and other topics of investors' concern.
"Globalization is not just about exporting Chinese products overseas, nor just importing overseas products to China, but it is more about using global resources to create greater value for customers worldwide." Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, said that Fosun's globalization strategy aims to take the world as a whole, through deepening its global business presence and building a diverse talent pool, use the most suitable resources to deeply cultivate key areas, and achieve mutual empowerment and rapid growth within the ecosystem. "In the future, Fosun will unswervingly consolidate its globalization capabilities and create more value for customers."
Against the backdrop of the complex and volatile external environment, Fosun achieved steady revenue growth in the first half of the year, with total revenue reaching RMB82.89 billion, representing an increase of 17.7% over the same period in 2021; enterprise operation profit amounted to RMB2.33 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 35.5%; profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to RMB2.70 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 32.6%; industrial operation profit was RMB3.61 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 35.9%
"The decline in the Group's net profit attributable to owners of the parent in the first half of the year was mainly affected by the pandemic, rising commodity raw material prices and fluctuations in the capital market." said Gong Ping, Executive President and Chief Financial Officer of Fosun International, "We also noticed that after entering the second half of the year, the financial and operational indicators of companies in multiple segments have rapidly shown a steady recovery, thanks to the Group's long-term adherence to profound industry operations."
In the interim results announcement, Fosun disclosed its enterprise operation profit, which includes the profit contribution of the major members of the Group, of which the profit of A-share listed members is adjusted to exclude the gain/loss of the non-recurring items. "The enterprise operation profit excludes the influence of secondary market investment and other factors in the industrial operation profit disclosed in the same period. When the market entered a period of severe fluctuations, this indicator increased significantly, reflecting the Fosun's continuous consolidation of the industry operations of its member companies over the years, which is also the driving force for Fosun's long-term sustainable development." Gong Ping said.
Fosun continued to strengthen its presence in four major segments of Health, Happiness, Wealth and Intelligent Manufacturing and achieved steady business development. In the first half of the year, all segments achieved revenue growth. The total revenue of the Health segment was RMB23.37 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 21.2%. The total revenue of the Happiness segment was RMB32.07 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.5%. The total revenue of the Wealth segment was RMB22.97 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.9%. The total revenue of the Intelligent Manufacturing segment was RMB5.13 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 43.6%.
In the first half of the year, Fosun Tourism Group in the Happiness segment delivered outstanding results, its revenue nearly increased by two-fold year-on-year. "This was mainly due to the lifting of travel restrictions in major overseas tourism destinations. The business of Club Med has rebounded strongly, its business volume recovered to 90% of the same period of 2019, and subsequent bookings have also shown a growth momentum." Xu Xiaoliang, Co-CEO of Fosun International said, with the rising winter sports and the Chinese market, Fosun Tourism Group will increase investment and accelerate its development in such area. From the beginning of this year to the end of 2024, Club Med has signed contracts and planned to open a total of 17 new resorts.
While developing its businesses, Fosun emphasizes the use of ESG criteria to assess its own sustainable development capability. Fosun has achieved remarkable ESG performance. As at the end of the reporting period, Fosun International was the only conglomerate in the Greater China region with a MSCI ESG rating of AA. Wang Qunbin, Co-Chairman of Fosun International, said: "Fosun has established a comprehensive top-down ESG governance structure and management system, including the incorporation of ESG performance into KPIs of executive directors, the establishment of an ESG committee to strengthen ESG management of the board of directors, etc. to integrate sustainability into its industry operations, and continue to practice the original aspiration of Self-improvement, Teamwork, Performance, and Contribution to Society."
This year, Fosun enters into the 30 years of establishment. It has developed into a global innovation-driven consumer group, dedicated to creating happier lives for families worldwide. Guo Guangchang said that looking ahead, Fosun will adhere to its strategic leadership and leverage the advantages brought by its long-term accumulation of core competencies to stimulate potential, promote faster and better development of the Group, and join hands with customers, partners, investors and all parties in the society to create a happy ecosystem and share happiness and value of Fosun.

NEW YORK — Serena and Venus Williams traded fist bumps or palm slaps and chatted between points. They smiled while conversing in their seats at changeovers.
When their first doubles match together in 4 1/2 years ended with a loss at the U.S Open on Thursday night, the siblings hugged each other, then left the court to a standing ovation.
The Williams sisters were eliminated by the Czech pair of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova 7-6 (5), 6-4 at Flushing Meadows.
"I was speechless when I found out I'm going to face these two. I mean, they're legends. And I was always such a big fan of them, especially Serena. She has been my idol since ever, probably," said Noskova, a 17-year-old making her Grand Slam debut in doubles. "So I was really happy, excited, but kind of scared, to face them."
Arthur Ashe Stadium had never hosted a first-round doubles match — for women or men, during the night or day — until this one featuring two members of one family who have combined to claim 14 Grand Slam titles in doubles.
"It's something incredible, because playing first round in a huge stadium, with 23,000 people, is something amazing," said the 37-year-old Hradecka, who won major doubles trophies with Andrea Hlavackova at the 2013 U.S. Open and 2011 French Open. "I don't think (when) we played the final here, it was packed like this."
The Williams sisters, who did not do interviews after the match, were partnering up for the first time since the 2018 French Open.
"I'm still in shock that we won," Hradecka said in an on-court interview right after the match's conclusion.
Speaking to the sellout crowd of 23,859, she said: "I'm so sorry for you that we beat them, but we are so happy that we did it."
The fans were not nearly as boisterous as they were for each of the two victories in singles this week for Serena, who has hinted that this will be the final event of her career.
Serena plays Ajla Tomljanovic on Friday night in the third round of singles; Venus was bounced from that bracket in the first round.
After a rather subdued entrance from the locker room by Hradecka and Noskova, who were competing as a team for the first time, a video tribute to the Williams-Williams pairing played on the Ashe videoboards, with a narrator introducing "two of the greatest athletes on Planet Earth" and, in a reference to Serena's looming retirement, saying, "It's not too late to change your mind."
There was footage of them through the years, including as kids with white beads in their hair (like Serena's daughter, Olympia, wore on opening night) and, later, winning titles.
Olympia, who turned 5 on Thursday, was not there for this one, Serena's husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian was, as were the sisters' mother, Oracene Price, and their sister, Isha.
During the pre-match warmup, the announcer noted that the sisters are 14-0 in Grand Slam doubles finals and declared: "They've transformed and elevated the sport as we know it."
The spectators saved their biggest cheers for some of Serena's best efforts, whether aces or putaways or an on-the-run forehand winner. The sisters went up 5-4 early and held two set points there on Noskova's serve, but could not convert either.
The loudest moment probably arrived after a 19-stroke point won by the sisters during the first-set tiebreaker, featuring three swinging volleys by Serena. That put them ahead 4-3, and soon it was 5-3.
But Hradecka and Noskova grabbed the next four points to claim that set. They then jumped ahead 3-0 in the second, and after the Williams sisters made it 4-all, the Czech team pulled away.
The Williams siblings received a wild-card entry into this year's doubles field. Serena, who turns 41 next month, and Venus, who turned 42 in June, won doubles trophies at the U.S. Open in 1999 — the year Serena won her first major singles trophy at age 17 in New York — and 2009.
They have a total of 30 major trophies in singles: 23 for Serena, seven for Venus.
"Playing against the Williams sisters," Noskova said, "is a special moment for everybody."

Dear Heloise: I’m getting married in late September, and I didn’t want a big, flashy wedding. My fiance and I decided to sit down and figure out ways to have a nice wedding, but still save money on some important features. First, I bought my wedding dress secondhand. I found a beautiful dress, ballerina-length in ivory. When I went shopping for a dress, I was stunned to find dresses for thousands of dollars — and that’s for a dress I’ll only wear once! My dress was $125. I figured I saved about $2,000 by buying secondhand. I found a bakery that’ll make my cake for $230. It’s a devil’s food cake with white icing and three layers. A posh bakery across town has one similar for $875. I saved about $645 by going with the less-expensive bakery.

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets were mixed Friday ahead of U.S. jobs data that might reinforce Federal Reserve plans for bigger interest rate hikes to cool surging inflation.
Shanghai advanced while Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul retreated. Oil prices rose more than $1.50 per barrel.
Investors looked ahead to U.S. data on August hiring to see how the economy is responding to four earlier hikes to cool inflation that is at a four-decade high. A strong reading would give ammunition to Fed officials who say higher interest rates are needed to slow economic activity and reduce upward pressure on consumer prices.
If the figures show more than 300,000 jobs were added, it “could likely reinforce further lean towards” a rate hike as big as 0.75 percentage points at this month’s Fed meeting, said Yeap Jun Rong of IG in a report. That would be three times the Fed’s usual margin of change.
The Shanghai Composite Index added 0.1% to 3,187,78 while the Nikkei 225 in Tokyo lost less than 0.1% to 26,644.80. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong sank 0.8% to 19,433.68.
China on Thursday ordered most residents of Chengdu, a city of 21 million people, to stay home following new virus outbreaks. The area is recovering from power rationing after a drought depleted reservoirs for hydroelectric dams, but economists said earlier the national economic impact should be limited because the region’s industrial output is small compared with other parts of China.
The Kospi in Seoul advanced 0.4% to 2,406.54 and Sydney’s S&P-ASX 200 declined less than 0.1% to 6,839.60.
India’s Sensex opened down 0.1% at 58,741.42. New Zealand and Jakarta gained while Singapore and Bangkok declined.
On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 index rose 0.3% on Thursday 3,966.85, rebounding from a four-day string of declines.
The benchmark ended August with a 4.2% loss after surging the previous month on expectations the Fed might ease off rate hikes due to signs U.S. economic activity was cooling and inflation might be leveling off.
Those hopes were dashed last week when chair Jerome Powell said the Fed needs to keep rates elevated enough “for some time” to slow the economy. The only question for many investors is how much and when the next hike will be.
On Thursday, the Labor Department reported unemployment claims fell last week in another sign of a strong job market. It said earlier this week there were two jobs for every unemployed person in July.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 0.5% at 31,656.42. The Nasdaq slid 0.3% to 11,785.13 for its fifth daily drop.
Health care stocks, companies that rely on direct consumer spending and communications services providers gained. Johnson & Johnson rose 2.5%. Target gained 2.8% and Netflix added 2.9%.
Technology stocks declined.
Nvidia dropped 7.7% after the chip designer said the U.S. government imposed licensing requirements that might disrupt sales to China.
In energy markets, benchmark U.S. crude rose $1.42 to $88.03 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract tumbled $2.94 to $86.61 on Thursday. Brent crude, the price basis for international oil trading, gained $1.50 to $93.86 per barrel in London. It plunged $3.28 the previous session to $92.36 a barrel.
The dollar rose to 140.34 yen from Thursday’s 140.23 yen. The euro gained to 99.72 cents from 99.45 cents. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/asian-stock-markets-lower-ahead-of-latest-us-jobs-reading/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-09-02T08:43:21Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/asian-stock-markets-lower-ahead-of-latest-us-jobs-reading/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | true |
The final round of the Conservative Party leadership election is coming up with foreign secretary Liz Truss and former chancellor Rishi Sunak being the two final candidates. Economists at Danske Bank look at how the election matters for fiscal policy, monetary policy and EU relations
EU-UK relations could reemerge as a theme for markets
“We expect substantial fiscal easing if Truss wins. This could add further upside pressure on inflation and yields.”
“We expect the GBP FX impact to be limited in our base case although the potential for higher rates could add slight support.”
“We do not expect that the EU will remain passive as the NIP Bill is passing through government. In the worst case, EU could terminate the free trade agreement (FTA), which would effectively reset the no-Brexit clock and the risk of a trade war. A renewed rise in tensions between the EU and the UK would most likely pose a significant headwind to UK assets and hence GBP.”

Honda on Wednesday revealed that the 2023 Honda Civic Type R will have 315 hp, making it the most powerful Honda-badged vehicle ever sold in the U.S.
Honda also detailed what upgrades led to the power increase, along with what tweaks were made to the transmission and suspension for the next-generation Type R.
More power, more cooling
To start, the Civic Type R’s 2.0-liter turbo-4 has been massaged to produce 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The power increase over the outgoing Type R’s 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque comes via three updates: a redesigned turbocharger, an increased air intake flow rate, and a new, more efficient exhaust system.
The turbocharger features an optimized shape, size, and number of turbine wheel blades, Honda explained. That together with a redesigned path for the air intake allows the turbo to more efficiently generate pressure in a wider range.
The larger grille opening on the 2023 Type R feeds a new, larger radiator and larger diameter fan aimed at improving engine cooling while ensuring sustained performance.
An active valve in the new exhaust system’s center pipe opens at a higher rpm than before, but Honda didn’t note at what rpm that magic door opens.
A lighter flywheel and newly optimized shift pattern for the 6-speed manual transmission round out the upgrades. Honda’s also installed a rev-matching system in the 2023 Type R like the one in the 2022 Civic Si.
Tweaked suspension, upgraded brakes
Based on the 11th-generation Civic, the new Type R is longer and wider than before. The 107.7-inch wheelbase has grown 1.4 inches versus the last Type R, and the track is 1.0 wider in the front and 0.75 inches in the rear.
To accommodate the longer and wider Type R Honda engineers retuned the front strut and rear multi-link suspension to improve straight-line stability. Honda said steering feel has improved.
Hauling the Type R down from speed are two-piece Brembo brake rotors up front, hooked to a retuned brake booster that enhances feel and controllability, according to Honda.
Honda hasn’t said how much the 2023 Civic Type R will cost when it goes on sale this fall, but it will be built at the automaker’s Yorii Plant in Japan.

Newcastle owners left shaken by ‘scary’ motorbike incident outside Anfield
Newcastle’s owners were left shaken after a motorbike being ridden by two men in balaclavas was driven towards pedestrians outside Anfield before the game against Liverpool on Wednesday.
Mehrdad Ghodoussi said he and Amanda Staveley were almost hit by the motorbike, which, according to Merseyside Police, was believed to have been involved in a chase with an electric bike close to Liverpool’s ground at around 6.30pm.
“The bike flew right by us and could have hit us easily. It was a scary incident. Amanda was pretty shaken up but calmed down once we got inside the stadium,” Ghodoussi told the Daily Mail.
“Thankfully, it appears serious injuries were avoided. But it could have been far worse, the bike drove straight into the crowd.”
Merseyside Police said two men had been arrested following the incident after the bike was brought to a stop by an officer outside the ground, which caused the rider and passenger to fall off.
“There are no reports of any members of the public being seriously injured. One of the riders of the bike suffered facial and shoulder injuries and has received medical treatment,” Merseyside Police added in a statement.
“The rider of the bike, a 30-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of S5 RTA (drug driving), causing serious injury by dangerous driving and suspected theft of a motor vehicle.
“The passenger, a 23-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs, suspected theft of a motor vehicle and other driving offences.
“The bike has been recovered and enquiries into the incident are ongoing.”

Sometimes when historic preservation experts have to rebuild a wall, a major grant helps them open 73 windows.
Historic Annapolis, the nonprofit that manages several state-owned historic homes downtown, is celebrating receiving a $500,000 grant from the National Park Service to help fund a$22 million restoration project at Brice House.
The money will be used to create reproductions of the original window frames, sashes and shutters in the Colonial-era mansion, completed in 1774. Only two original sashes — inner frames that can be raised and hold the glass panels — remain. Thanks to the grant, a carpenter with special skills will re-create frames so that eventually, all 73 windows in the mansion will be historically accurate and functional.
“We have our work cut out for us,” said Michael K. Day, senior vice president for capital projects at Historic Annapolis, who is managing the restoration. The state purchased Brice House in 2014 from the International Masonry Institute and allowed the nonprofit to begin restoring the home two years later. Initial projects included replicating oyster-shell mortar to repair masonry and peeling two centuries of paint off the ballroom’s ornate plaster cornices.
“We had put the window restoration on the back burner,” Day said.
Currently, the windowpanes and frames are a hodgepodge, with a mix of original and replacement framework from the 1950s. Along the East Street front exterior, some frames are painted white, others are brick red. All need some TLC. Historic Annapolis has yet to sign the paperwork, Day said, but if all goes according to plan, the federal grant money should come through in October, allowing a carpenter who already built one prototype sash to resume work on the windows.
The money comes at a crucial time for the Brice House project. Work is running behind and over budget, thanks to pandemic delays and unexpected masonry issues discovered late last year, Day said.
Contractors spent most of last fall rebuilding the roof on the mansion’s West Wing, known as the carriage house. But when they set the roof back in place, the west wall suddenly began to crumble; outer brick fell out, inner brick fell in. Turns out, when the carriage house was converted from apartments to a corporate-style conference room four decades ago, the interior and exterior bricks were stacked next to each other rather than knit together. The entire wall — none of which was original — had to be replaced.
“The work they did 250 years ago was great. What they did in the 1980s and some of the 1990s was not,” Day said of the Brice House masonry. Carriage house walls must now be rebuilt and stabilized before work on the roof can resume.
“That wasn’t entirely expected, and that set us back a bit,” Day said.
Money for the Brice House project comes from a mix of private, state and federal funding. It was Kaelynn Bedsworth, a development associate at Historic Annapolis, who discovered the mansion would qualify for a new National Park Service initiative called the Semiquincentennial Grant Program honoring historical sites with ties to the nation’s founding in 1776.
Afternoon Update
Guidelines required properties to be both state-owned and on the National Registry of Historic Places.
“It was perfect for us,” Day said.
The Park Service funded 17 projects in 12 states. Other sites receiving $500,000 grants include Old Fort Niagara, which was built by the French in western New York in 1729, and the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society in Thurmont, which will use its money to preserve 18th century buildings and upgrade the HVAC system in the Museum of the Ironworker.
“National parks and National Park Service programs serve to tell authentic and complete history, provide opportunities for exploring the legacies that impact us today and contribute to healing and understanding,” NPS Director Chuck Sams said in a news release announcing the grants. “Through the Semiquincentennial Grant Program, we are supporting projects that showcase the many places and stories that contributed to the evolution of the American experience.”
Although planter, lawyer and local politician James Brice is less of a household name than other former residents of historic homes in Annapolis, such as William Paca and Thomas Carroll, his house remains architecturally significant. The five-part Georgian mansion was one of the largest and most elegant in Colonial Annapolis. Brice also happened to be a meticulous record-keeper. Work began April 14, 1767, with the laying of a cornerstone marked “The Beginning.” Thanks to his well-preserved ledgers, the restoration team knows that construction took seven years, 326,000 bricks and 90,800 cypress shingles.
Once West Wing work is complete, the team will focus on moving the HVAC mechanical equipment from the East Wing into a new, semi-subterranean outbuilding. That will allow interpreters to restore the Brice House East Wing kitchen and slave quarters and provide visitors with a stark reminder of how enslaved people lived and worked in antebellum Annapolis.
Money for that project comes from a $3 million state appropriation, Day said. And hopefully, Maryland lawmakers will provide the same level of funding for fiscal year 2024. The team restoring Brice House has a “punch list that never goes away,” Day said, but he believes they are still on track to celebrate the semiquincentennial in 2026. | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/annapolis/ac-cn-brice-house-grant-20220902-lsxmhqhopreafjeuzhvxkuljji-story.html | 2022-09-02T09:11:00Z | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/annapolis/ac-cn-brice-house-grant-20220902-lsxmhqhopreafjeuzhvxkuljji-story.html | true |

“It is with deepest regret and an extremely hard decision, that after 46 years of being in business, The Bloomin’ Shoppe has decide to retire and close the doors,” said a post released by the Williston business in August.
This came as a shock to many locals, as the shop has come to be a Williston staple after being in town for nearly half a century. The sign, seen when coming or going on the north side of town, has become one that is recognizable by many.
In 1976, The Bloomin’ Shoppe opened its doors and in 1977, Gail Ferrell and her sister bought into the business because of her passion for plants, Ferrell told the Williston Herald. Ferrell took ownership of the store in 1983 with help from her family to run it. She said that to her family, its more than just a plant business — it’s their life, and it’s been that way for more than a generation.
Ferrell’s daughter, Gwen, started working at the shop in 1977 and said she’s had the experience of a lifetime.
“I started custom potting in the back of the greenhouse. I would pick up their pots in the fall and in the spring I would start and plant with a rotation I did. Some of them I’ve been doing, I’ve been doing for 30 years,” Gwen said.
Deana, one of Gail’s granddaughters, began custom potting after learning the skill from her mother. Her mother would start the plants and keep them healthy and then Deana and Gwen would work on the custom orders. They said that their family had a system and that it worked for them, and they kept the family dynamic at the forefront of the business always.
“Family businesses are not easy, that’s for sure. We have had lots of family members over the years come and help; everyone has always pitched in. Anytime anything big came up, like covering greenhouses, we’d call and everyone would show up. You see your family all day long and then after work too. It has its ups and downs. Everyone had their own area so we weren’t all on top of each other,” Gwen said.
Though family spent so much time together, it was the work of Gail who started the upward progress of the business and strengthened the importance of family. Deana had so much good to say about her grandmother’s experience.
“Everything was started by seed after Christmas. The knowledge she had did not come from college. She learned from books, from growing up on a farm, from trial and error. Everything was planted here. Even the dirt was mixed here. If it came from The Bloomin’ Shoppe, we’ve probably all touched the plant hundreds of times,” Deana said.
Each member of the family has played a part in the business over the years and each leaves their mark. Gail has chosen to retire and the family has chosen not to keep the business going due to workforce struggles.
The family would like the community to know that they are so thankful for the support they have received over the years.
“We’ve seen generations come through here, adults that used to come in with their grandparents. We have people that have had us do work for them for years,” Gwen said. “We’ve had those friendships and we are going to miss those the most.”
Gwen said that have the community know how much she appreciates them is the most important thing to her. | https://www.willistonherald.com/news/business/the-bloomin-shoppe-is-closing-its-doors-after-a-generation-of-memories/article_8a6b5e2a-2a31-11ed-a649-679bdeffbac0.html | 2022-09-02T09:21:03Z | https://www.willistonherald.com/news/business/the-bloomin-shoppe-is-closing-its-doors-after-a-generation-of-memories/article_8a6b5e2a-2a31-11ed-a649-679bdeffbac0.html | true |
Close your eyes and try to envision the two wolves.
Imagine yourself as a terrified child. I think that helps bring the myth to life . . . this myth, said to be Cherokee, of humanity’s two choices. The wolves are engaged in a vicious fight.
The wise grandfather explains to the child that the two wolves are inside all of us. One of the wolves is an arrogant narcissist — a jerk, an egocentric idiot. You know, evil. The other is the embodiment of joy and empathy, kindness and love.
The trembling child asks in alarm: “Which one wins?”
And Grandfather lays it on the line: “The one you feed.”
This is morality 1.0. Don’t cater to the worst in yourself. Yeah, OK, that makes a lot of sense; we all no doubt need to remind ourselves of this on a regular basis, especially when things aren’t going the way we want.
But here’s the problem with this myth — or at least what seems to be its oversimplified version. It’s continually vulnerable to turning into a tool of the worst of who we are. I make this point in the midst of a larger research project: trying to understand the nature of war and the nature of being human. Are they inseparable? And more to the point: How do we evolve beyond war? When the two wolves popped up in the midst of this research, it felt like an “aha!” moment. Which wolf wins? The one you feed:
“A diverse coalition of civil society groups responded with disgust after the Senate Armed Services Committee voted Thursday to tack an additional $45 billion on top of President Joe Biden's already massive military spending request, bringing the total proposed budget for the coming fiscal year to a staggering $857.6 billion.”
So wrote Kenny Stancil in Common Dreams. Yeah, the U.S. military budget just keeps growing. So does the global military budget. And here’s what this feeding frenzy looks like less abstractly, in the present moment, in the words of Marcy Winograd of Progressive Democrats of America:
“The Department of Defense recently announced it would send nearly $3 billion more in weapons and assistance to Ukraine. . . the largest Ukraine arms package yet — rockets, drones, 350,000 rounds of ammunition . . . . The latest announcement from the DOD brings the total in weapons, ammunition and military training to escalate the war in Ukraine to at least $13.5 billion.”
But as I think about this, a counter-argument, a defense of U.S. military assistance to Ukraine, immediately pops up. The U.S. and NATO have no choice! Putin’s the bad wolf here. And this is where the wise grandfather and the myth itself begin to collapse. Both wolves are fighting with bared claws and bared teeth; both are trying to kill the other. Humanity’s wars over the last 10,000 years have evolved, it would seem, out of that very myth. As the human social structure has gotten more complex, more grounded in property and wealth — and control — the concept of us-vs.-them has hardened into place. There’s always an enemy, and the enemy is always the bad wolf.
War took a while to find itself. As anthropologist R. Brian Ferguson wrote in Scientific American:
“Simple hunting and gathering characterized human societies during most of humanity’s existence dating back more than 200,000 years. Broadly, these groups cooperate with one another and live in small, mobile, egalitarian bands, exploiting large areas with low population density and few possessions.”
But life slowly grew more complex for much of humanity, especially as people transitioned from hunter-gathering to agriculture and the establishment of fixed settlements, property, ownership and, ultimately, wealth (or lack thereof).
“Over millennia,” Ferguson writes:
“preconditions of war became more common in more places. Once established, war has a tendency to spread, with violent peoples replacing less violent ones. States evolved around the world, and states are capable of militarizing peoples on their peripheries and trade routes.”
And this is today’s world. Are we stuck with war then — war that has evolved its weapons over the years from clubs to spears to guns . . . to nuclear weapons? We’ve pushed ourselves to the absolute brink of existence, with minimal interest at the highest levels of state power to transcend self-annihilation, either by war or my climate collapse. When the mega-bombs begin to burst, billions of us will soon be dead. We’re stuck — is that it? So long, humanity?
Ferguson does point out that some human societies, during that era of agricultural transition, avoided the emergence of war. “Many social arrangements,” he points out:
“impede war, such as cross-group ties of kinship and marriage; cooperation in hunting, agriculture or food sharing; flexibility in social arrangements that allow individuals to move to other groups; norms that value peace and stigmatize killing; and recognized means for conflict resolution.”
Conflict is inevitable — that will never change. But various societies over the millennia have found ways not simply to minimize conflict, but to learn from it and transcend it, to create what Ferguson calls “distinct preconditions for peace.”
This is not idealism! It only seems that way to minds encaged in the belief that they’re the good wolves. Creating the preconditions of peace — negotiating with Russia, for God’s sake, and beyond that, disarming the world’s nuclear weapons, courageously addressing climate collapse — is not wishful thinking. It’s evolution. | https://www.willistonherald.com/opinion/columnists/staring-into-the-eyes-of-the-wolf/article_39e8a66e-2a8c-11ed-8ecc-9f6c4114d084.html | 2022-09-02T09:23:38Z | https://www.willistonherald.com/opinion/columnists/staring-into-the-eyes-of-the-wolf/article_39e8a66e-2a8c-11ed-8ecc-9f6c4114d084.html | true |

Madden Julian Oscillation influencing extreme rainfall in Kerala, say CUSAT researchers
Active occurrence of this phenomenon during September-November may have the potential to delay the withdrawal of Indian summer monsoon
A new study by researchers at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) has showed that Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) can influence extreme rainfall over Kerala in the monsoon season.
MJO and its impact
MJO is an eastward propagating convective system that passes over the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with a periodicity of 30–60 days and it influences most of the tropical weather systems. “Around 70 active MJO days occurred over the equatorial Indian Ocean during 2019- 2021 in the months from June to August,” said Dr. Ajil Kottayil, scientist at the Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research, CUSAT, who led the study. K. Prajwal, research scholar in the university, and Dr. Prince Xavier of UK’s Met Office were part of the research team that analysed meteorological datasets over a period of two decades since 2000.
“MJO can cause an anomalous change in the rainfall activity over Kerala. It has both active and suppressed phases and its strong active phase over the equatorial Indian Ocean causes anomalous increased rainfall activity, the impact of which is highly devastating,” he added. The study found that active MJO phases can generate organised deep convective cloud clusters (cumulonimbus clouds) over Kerala, which can result in very heavy rainfall over a short duration of time.

Delay in withdrawal of monsoon
The extreme rainfall events occurring over Kerala coincides with the occurrence of active MJO phases over the equatorial Indian ocean. The occurrence of active MJO during September-November may have the potential of delaying the withdrawal of Indian summer monsoon, according to the researchers. Unlike extreme rainfall events associated with monsoon depressions, MJO-assisted extremes are more or less of a local nature and of lesser duration. The active MJO does not necessarily result in extreme rainfall, if its amplitudes are weak, they said.
The study has been published in Elsevier’s Atmospheric Research journal.

BEIJING, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NaaS Technology Inc. ("NaaS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NAAS), the first publicly listed Chinese EV charging service provider, recently initiated a partnership with EEZI, a solution service provider that boasts an intelligent travel ecosystem integrating hardware and software. Both parties will work in tandem on solutions for intelligent travel and smart charging services to offer a diversified charging experience and customized services.
At present, China's new energy vehicle industry has entered a phase of large-scale and rapid development, and intelligent travel is experiencing a sustained boom in popularity. As an intelligent travel solution provider combining hardware and software, EEZI is proficient in the design, research and development, and the operation of smart cockpits, autonomous driving, software ecosystems, and user experience. EEZI, as a new company in the intelligent travel industry, is committed to developing autonomous driving and smart cockpits, in a bid to make users more comfortable as they drive.
EEZI OS, EEZI's smart cockpit system, is a highlight of EEZI''s offerings. EEZI OS achieves the core goals of design, of human-computer interaction, immersive entertainment, and intelligent connection of the cockpit via voice control, a central control PAD, a steering wheel for games, and customized console parts. In doing so, EEZI can break down the barriers between service scenarios and meet the diverse needs users have for entertainment, travel, and shopping in a variety of scenarios.
As the two companies cooperate, NaaS will integrate its digital charging network covering the whole of China into the EEZI's charging operation and management platform, EEZI machine and the EEZI App. In addition, intelligent matching for charging needs, vehicle scenario data and charging service will be handled by relying on NaaS' cloud computing, intelligent algorithms, and big data service capability. Car owners will be able to enjoy an innovative charging experience featuring "charging pile location, navigation, and payment with a single click" thanks to the Company's deep collaboration with Kuaidian. NaaS aims to comprehensively improve the driving experience for car owners and advance the development of EEZI's intelligent network ecosystem. Furthermore, NaaS will work with Kuaidian to provide EEZI with a range of services, including product promotion, operational platform development, and the user experience, to help EEZI empower new vehicles belonging to third-party vehicle companies, to enter the market rapidly.
"The current trend in the industry is software-defined vehicles. NaaS features a public charging pile network that covers the whole country that can provide one-stop charging service solutions for users," said Mou Lu, CEO of EEZI, "NaaS boasts industry-leading capabilities in terms of its digitization, resource integration, and user service. Thanks to NaaS and EEZI's partnership, EEZI-empowered new vehicles for third-party vehicle enterprises can produce a diversified smart cockpit experience and promote deep integration between intelligent travel and smart networks."
"The first half of the new-energy vehicle revolution is electric, whereas the second half will focus on the introduction of smart technology. Improving the driving experience for car owners in a digital and intelligent way remains the secret to stabilizing and expanding the consumption of new-energy vehicles," said Liang Xing, vice president of NaaS, "NaaS is ready to keep sharing digital energy solutions, empowering the industry and partners in order to enhance the degree of intelligence in the industry's energy supply. As NaaS and EEZI join hands, energy consumption may shift from Data Buy (purchase based on data guidance) to Auto Buy (unmanned intelligent supply consumption)."
As one of China's largest and fastest-growing new energy service providers, NaaS can provide a one-stop service for charging pile manufacturers, operators, and main engine plants by linking the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain digitally. As of June 30, 2022, NaaS operates in 358 cities across China and has connected to more than 400,000 chargers and 44,000 charging stations.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An Israeli attack targeting a Syrian airport tore a hole in the runway and also damaged a nearby piece of tarmac and structure on the military side of the airfield, satellite photos analyzed Friday by The Associated Press showed.
The attack Wednesday night on Aleppo International Airport comes as an Israeli strike only months earlier took out the runway at the country’s main airport in the capital, Damascus, over Iranian weapons transfers to the country.
The satellite photos taken Thursday by Planet Labs PBC showed vehicles gathered around the site of one of the strikes at the airport, near the western edge of its sole runway. The strike tore a hole through the runway, as well as ignited a grassfire at the airfield.
Just south of the runway damage on the military side of the airport, debris lay scattered after another strike that struck an object on the tarmac and another structure.
Syria, like many Middle East nations, have dual-use airports that include civilian and military sides. Flights at the airport have been disrupted by the attack. Syria’s Foreign Ministry late Thursday described the damage from the attack as severe, saying it hit the runway and “completely destroyed the navigational station with its equipment.”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based opposition war monitor, alleged immediately after the strike that Israel targeted an Iranian missile shipment to the Aleppo airport. Iran, as well as Lebanon’s allied Hezbollah militant group, has been crucial to embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad remaining in power since a war began in his country amid the 2011 Arab Spring.
Just before the strike, a transponder on an Antonov An-74 cargo plane flown by Iran’s Yas Air sanctioned years earlier by the U.S. Treasury over flying weapons on behalf of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard briefly pinged near Aleppo, according to flight-tracking data. The altitude and location suggested the plane planned to land in Aleppo.
Cargo aircraft over Syria often don’t broadcast their location data, likely due in part to the international sanctions on Assad’s government. A phone number listed to Yas Air rang unanswered Friday.
Iran and Syria’s missions to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday from The Associated Press. Israel, which has conducted numerous attacks on Syria in its shadow war with Iran in the wider Mideast, has not directly acknowledged Wednesday’s strike.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry called on the U.N. Security Council to condemn the attacks, saying Damascus holds Israel responsible “for deliberately targeting the international airports of Damascus and Aleppo and for endangering civilian facilities and the lives of civilians.”
The strike comes as tensions across the wider Mideast remain high as negotiations over Iran’s tattered nuclear deal with world powers hang in the balance.

Former BBC Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull used to go down to the end of his garden and yell at his cancer to help him cope with his emotions.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant sadly died on Wednesday aged 66 after a battle with prostate cancer, which he was diagnosed with five years ago.
In a statement, a spokesperson on behalf of the family said: “Following a challenging and committed fight against prostate cancer, Bill passed away peacefully at his home in Suffolk surrounded by his family on Wednesday, 31 August.
"Bill was resolutely positive and was hugely buoyed by the support he received from friends, colleagues, and messages from people wishing him luck. It was a great comfort to Bill that so many more men are now testing earlier for this disease."
Tributes have flooded in for the beloved presenter, including from his former co-host Susanna Reid, who described Bill as the "kindest, funniest, most generous man in the business".
Since his diagnosis, Bill campaigned to raise awareness among those at risk as an ambassador for Prostate Cancer UK and also spoke openly about his own battle with the disease.
In 2019, Bill shared his unique way of letting out his emotions in an interview with the Express Saturday magazine.
He said: "Sometimes I go down to the bottom of the garden at night and shout at my cancer. I tell it to get stuffed - though usually with much stronger language than that."
The presenter also discussed a documentary about the illness, titled Bill Turnbull: Staying Alive, which showed viewers his journey through nine rounds of chemotherapy as well as experimenting with medicinal cannabis.
He said: "It's very emotional and a bit of a blubathon.
"I'm a bit embarrassed because you see me crying so much. I do have days where I weep quite a lot, partly because I'm on a hormone treatment which makes me spill over, but I do believe that crying is a very important thing to do when under this kind of stress."
The previous year, in 2018, Bill took part on the Great British Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer, when he spoke about being diagnosed after seeing his GP and having a blood test.
He told viewers: "I was getting pain in my legs and in my hips particularly, and I thought, ‘This is old age’. Eventually the pain got so bad I thought I’d better go see my GP.
"Now I have to deal with the future or having much less of the future than I thought I'd have...it's a very, very difficult moment."
Prostate Cancer UK chief executive Laura Kerby told the PA news agency that Bill "leaves a resounding impact."
She said: “Thousands and thousands of men have come forward as a result of him helping us raise awareness of Prostate Cancer UK – and him just telling his story."

British couple raises thousands of pounds to save African football team
The team used to play barefoot before the couple helped them get boots.
A British couple managed to raise tens of thousands of pounds to prevent a local African football team from going bust.
Crispin Mason-Jones and his wife, Dr. Ellie Bond, have helped a local sports club in the remote community of Mfuwe in Zambia. The cause was especially close to Bond's heart since she was born in Zambia.
Mason-Jones, 60, is a retired architect from Newcastle, UK while his wife is a doctor. The two had travelled to the region to offer their services. Bond was on a sabbatical from her role as a palliative care specialist when she got word of the football team's troubles. She then decided to do whatever she could to help the team.
They have since delivered £1,000 worth of black-and-white strips and 21 pairs of junior football boots to the under-15 side. The boys used to play barefoot on the local ground.
"It feels good. This is my first ever pair of boots. I supported Man Utd, my team will be Newcastle Utd now," 14-year-old Bished Njolovu, told The Mirror.
Patrick, senior team manager for the last five years, spoke about how the couple's effort has come as a ray of hope for the players. "We could not afford transport to our games because they were so far away. We would walk the streets asking for money, but it was very expensive for the bus and fuel," he said.
"Sometimes we travel four hours there and four hours back which is very difficult. Now we are guaranteed to get to all our games and have the new kit as well," he added.
He also explained how the game has saved the boys and the girls from taking to nefarious activities. "Through football they keep fit and have something to fill their lives," he added.
"This is a dream come true, a light which has shone in the darkness thanks to the people from England." The financial aid encouraged women to also come forward, and now they also have a women's football team.
"Our sponsors from Newcastle wanted to support women's football and asked if there was a women's team. So we are all very happy that there is one now," said Mason-Jones.
It was not just the couple who contributed to help the club, but their friends from Newcastle and family members also did their bit to give wings to the dreams of these youngsters.

Democrats have picked up some momentum this election cycle with wins in multiple special elections, following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.
And the FBI search of former President Trump's Florida home has thrust Trump back into the spotlight, front and center. Lots of his candidates have won contentious primaries; he's consolidated his base; and his renewed presence has threatened to make the November elections a choice rather than a referendum on President Biden.
Biden and the White House leaned into that Thursday night with an unusual prime-time address that broke no news or made any big announcements. Instead, Biden took the opportunity to elevate Trump and make it a choice between what Biden and Democrats stand for and MAGA Republican extremism, as he sees it, and their rising influence in positions of power throughout the country.
"I believe America is at an inflection point," the president said in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the same city, where he launched his 2020 presidential campaign, "one of those moments that determine the shape of everything that's to come after. And now America must choose to move forward or to move backwards."
On the eve of Labor Day weekend, the traditional pivot to the final sprint of general elections across the country, here are three takeaways from Biden's speech:
1. Biden tried to reinforce the idea that this election is a choice, not a referendum... on him
Elections, especially midterm elections, are traditionally a check on the president. Inflation is high, Biden is unpopular and people are pessimistic about the direction of the country. That usually would mean a wipeout in a president's first midterm.
So this gave Biden an opportunity to deflect from that – and lay out a choice.
"MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards," Biden said, "backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love."
He highlighted threats to democracy as being urgent and instigated by Trump. Biden doesn't often use Trump's name, but he name-checked him three times in this speech. And when you do that, it's going to look and sound political. And that was obviously intentional.
With Trump back in the news, it offered Biden a way to elevate him, hold him up as the standard-bearer of the GOP, what it stands for, and draw a line in the sand.
"It's pretty clear they want to amplify the MAGA message," said Democratic strategist Joel Payne. "Almost feels like a pre-argument against what a Republican House might be pushing for the next two years, setting up a broader narrative about how he is fighting to stop Republicans from anti-democratic moves."
2. This may have been a political speech, but that doesn't mean there aren't real threats
You'd be forgiven if you confused Biden's address for a convention speech, because that's where you draw contrasts with your opponent and lay out a vision for the country.
But that's not to say there aren't real or urgent threats. Election deniers are closer to controlling elections in key places, and as we've said many times watching the Jan. 6 hearings, the institutions of democracy may have held in 2020, but only because of the people who were running them.
Now many of those structures are run by people who support Trump and his election lies all the way.
We've seen political violence, the FBI is facing threats, as are poll workers and local election officials. There is no doubt that conspiratorial elements of Trumpism are more potentially operational now than they were before the 2020 presidential election.
"Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election – either they win or they were cheated," Biden said.
And with the election two months away, the White House would argue highlighting that threat is key.
3. There is a degree of risk in Biden's strategy
Democrats' recent momentum in multiple special elections has largely been due to abortion rights, not necessarily about threats ts to democracy.
Yes, a recent NBC poll showed threats to democracy rising to the No. 1 issue, and that is significant, as it overtook cost of living, which was second. But it was only with 21% of respondents. Economic-related items when combined – cost of living and jobs and the economy – were 30%, higher than threats to democracy.
What's more, when you break down those who said threats to democracy were their top issue, 53% were Democrats, while 32% of Republicans and 11% of independents did. And Democrats and Republicans certainly view the "threats to democracy" very differently. Democrats obviously see Trump and "MAGA extremism" as the threat, while many Republicans, who have believed Trump's election lies, believe Democrats and (not) rigged elections are the problems.
So the White House might be overreading polls here.
Republicans, many of whom are now aligned with Trump, are incensed.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy gave a speech before Biden spoke and said the president needed to apologize for what he saw as insulting the millions of Americans who voted for Trump.
It certainly shows the 180-degree shift McCarthy has made since after Jan. 6 in his quest to become House speaker. But it also highlights the high bar Biden has in trying to make clear he is talking about Republican elected officials and not voters.
"Not even a majority of Republicans are MAGA Republicans," Biden said. "Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country."
That is a very fine line for a president, who isn't always artful with his words, to walk and stick to. The GOP will obviously use this to fire up their base against Democrats and Biden in these midterms, but the White House is gambling that conservatives who dislike him are already fired up – and Democrats need to keep their base engaged.
"There is a risk of overreaching on this," Payne said, "especially at a point when Republicans are on their heels trying to protect some anticipated gains in the '22 midterms."
But, he added, "I think it also helps juice the base [with] moral clarity on saving the democracy."

But that's not to say there aren't real or urgent threats. Election deniers are closer to controlling elections in key places, and as we've said many times watching the Jan. 6 hearings, the institutions of democracy may have held in 2020, but only because of the people who were running them.
Now many of those structures are run by people who support Trump and his election lies all the way.
We've seen political violence, the FBI is facing threats, as are poll workers and local election officials. There is no doubt that conspiratorial elements of Trumpism are more potentially operational now than they were before the 2020 presidential election.
"Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election – either they win or they were cheated," Biden said.
And with the election two months away, the White House would argue highlighting that threat is key.
3. There is a degree of risk in Biden's strategy
Democrats' recent momentum in multiple special elections has largely been due to abortion rights, not necessarily about threats ts to democracy.
Yes, a recent NBC poll showed threats to democracy rising to the No. 1 issue, and that is significant, as it overtook cost of living, which was second. But it was only with 21% of respondents. Economic-related items when combined – cost of living and jobs and the economy – were 30%, higher than threats to democracy.
What's more, when you break down those who said threats to democracy were their top issue, 53% were Democrats, while 32% of Republicans and 11% of independents did. And Democrats and Republicans certainly view the "threats to democracy" very differently. Democrats obviously see Trump and "MAGA extremism" as the threat, while many Republicans, who have believed Trump's election lies, believe Democrats and (not) rigged elections are the problems.
So the White House might be overreading polls here.
Republicans, many of whom are now aligned with Trump, are incensed.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy gave a speech before Biden spoke and said the president needed to apologize for what he saw as insulting the millions of Americans who voted for Trump.
It certainly shows the 180-degree shift McCarthy has made since after Jan. 6 in his quest to become House speaker. But it also highlights the high bar Biden has in trying to make clear he is talking about Republican elected officials and not voters.
"Not even a majority of Republicans are MAGA Republicans," Biden said. "Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country."
That is a very fine line for a president, who isn't always artful with his words, to walk and stick to. The GOP will obviously use this to fire up their base against Democrats and Biden in these midterms, but the White House is gambling that conservatives who dislike him are already fired up – and Democrats need to keep their base engaged.
"There is a risk of overreaching on this," Payne said, "especially at a point when Republicans are on their heels trying to protect some anticipated gains in the '22 midterms."
But, he added, "I think it also helps juice the base [with] moral clarity on saving the democracy."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is announcing Friday $1 billion worth of federal grants for manufacturing, clean energy, farming, biotech and other sectors that will go to 21 regional partnerships.
The winners were chosen from 529 initial applicants vying for grants that were part of last year's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The Biden administration has repeatedly laid out a vision for the economy that is more self-sufficient and driven by high-tech manufacturing and the development of renewable energy.
"The whole point of this is we’re not going to let you get left behind as we transition to a more digital economy, to a more technical economy, to a green economy,” Raimondo told The Associated Press. “People want to work where they live. People want to know there is a place for them in the changing economy.”
Unlike much of the pandemic aid that was meant to address immediate needs, the $1 billion in grants is part of a longer-term effort to revitalize parts of the country that have needed an economic jolt for existing industries and capital for new ventures. The mission is personal for Raimondo, whose father lost his job at a watch factory in Rhode Island. She said the grants are the largest ever for local economic development provided by the Commerce Department.
The grants include $65.1 million in California to improve farm production and $25 million for a robotics cluster in Nebraska. Georgia gets $65 million for artificial intelligence. There is $63.7 million for lithium-based battery development in New York. Coal counties in West Virginia would receive $62.8 million to help with the shift to solar power and find new uses for abandoned mines.
Raimondo said the winners were chosen based on merit rather than politics. She estimated that the investments, which will be provided over five years as reimbursements, will result in at least 100,000 jobs.
Solidly Republican states such as Oklahoma and South Dakota received funding, and money also is going ahead of November's midterm elections toward political battlegrounds that could decide control of Congress. There is $44 million for regenerative medicine in New Hampshire, where Democrat Maggie Hassan is defending her U.S. Senate seat. Pennsylvania, which has an open Senate seat, is set to receive $62.7 million for robotics and artificial intelligence.
The massive amount of coronavirus aid at the start of President Joe Biden's tenure helped to accelerate job growth as the U.S. recovered from the pandemic. But accompanying the hiring was a burst of inflation that hit a 40-year peak this summer, crushing consumer sentiment and putting the administration on the defensive to show how its policies are helping the economy.
Even as much of the coronavirus money has been disbursed, the administration has said it still needs more money to contain the disease and its variations. Biden unsuccessfully sought to get $22.5 billion from Congress to address and prevent outbreaks, a figure that lawmakers reduced to $10 billion in negotiations. But additional funding was never passed by Congress despite confirmed cases that are now averaging about 90,000 daily.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to minimize the lack of funding after the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved modified booster shots of the vaccines. Jean-Pierre said booster shots would be available after the Labor Day holiday as the administration has worked with local partners.
Still, the grants for economic development indicate that the relief package could have a multi-decade impact that goes beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. The New Orleans area will receive $50 million to use hydrogen produced by wind power that does not cause carbon emissions, a meaningful change in Louisiana, a state that has long depended on fossil fuels.
“With clean hydrogen, we can remain an energy state — but become an energy state of the future that has less impact on the environment,” said Michael Hecht, president and CEO of Greater New Orleans Inc., an economic development nonprofit. “When money and morality come together, you get stuff done.” | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/biden-administration-awards-1-billion-for-economic-projects/PRU43PALZ5ASJJCBUUPBS6RQS4/ | 2022-09-02T10:00:33Z | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/biden-administration-awards-1-billion-for-economic-projects/PRU43PALZ5ASJJCBUUPBS6RQS4/ | true |

“Get ready, this weekend is going to be the big one,” said Rodney Whaley, master of ceremonies for Medicine Park’s outdoor music festivals.
That’s right, it’s Labor Day Weekend and if you’re from around these parts, you know the cobblestone community of the Wichita Mountains is ready to ring out with the beat of the blues. And this one is more special than most.
It’s the Sweet 16th Annual Blues Ball in Hitchin’ Post Park. This year’s got a beast of a lineup and a good time assured for all who visit, according to Dwight Cope, Medicine Park Economic Development Authority event coordinator.
“This Friday to Sunday come hear some great blues,” he said. “It should be funky.”
The three-day festival is free to the public, family friendly and a good time for all, according to Cope.
As always, the belle of this annual end to the summer season is the blues. This year’s lineup is about as good as it gets, according to Cope. A real coup to this year’s lineup is Saturday night’s headlining set by Indigenous.
“I’m pretty excited about it,” he said.
Indigenous is an American blues rock group that first came to prominence in the late 1990s and continues to thrive. They channel the tones and spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana with a hue of blue that’s borne from the band’s Native American spirit.

Another heavyweight to the schedule is festival closer, Kalo, fronted by Bat-Or Kalo. Born in Haifa, Israel, this funk/fusion/blues beast is a graduate of Oklahoma City University’s music program and has made her mark regionally for dynamic live shows filled with guitar heroics.
Check out Kalo’s take on Cream’s classic, “Crossroads” at the 2014 edition of the Blues Ball. It’s the real deal: https://youtu.be/iAaR4I9yQNo.
A performer who has played at more Blues Balls than he’s missed is Lawton-raised Eric “Dirty Red” McDaniel. He and his bandmates in Dirty Red & The Soul Shakers are excited to return, he said.
“It’s been two years since we last played here and we are juiced,” he said.
This one will be a first for the performers on the Hitchin’ Post Park stage. McDaniel said he is an excited front man.
“I haven’t seen the new stage, but I hear it’s over the water and in the shade,” he said. “How cool is that?”
Having attended several music festivals since the move from the Old Plantation parking lot stage that was the mainstay for many years, this benefits, both, artists and audience. Pretty sure ol’ Dirty Red will agree when he’s not facing the descending Labor Day weekend sun.
McDaniel said returning to the “homelands” is something he’s looking forward to. It’ll be good for the soul to perform for friends and family while making new fans on Saturday afternoon.
“Times are rough and being from the Lawton/Fort Sill area, it means a lot to me to come back home and deliver a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down,” he said. “We love you all and look forward to grooving with you all. Let’s get dirty.”
The columnist will be catching up with McDaniel and get some cool updates on a big project he’s been working and other news from Soul Shaker world.
Until then, check out this burner of a take on “I’m Goin’ Down” from a 2018 hometown concert by the band: https://youtu.be/zOTslf8pqIY.
Here’s the lineup for this weekend’s music:
•Friday: Sweet Brenda & Sour Mash, 7 to 8:30 p.m.; Terry Quiett Band, 9 to 11 p.m.
•Saturday: Lone Star Mojo, 3 to 4:30 p.m.; Dirty Red & The Soul Shakers, 5 to 6:30 p.m.; Skye Pollard & The Family Hollar, 7 to 8:30 p.m.; Indigenous, 9 to 11 p.m.
•Sunday: Amanda Howle & The Big Bad Wolves, 3 to 4:30 p.m.; Big Train & The Loco Motives, 5 to 6:30 p.m.; Chant DuPlantier, 7 to 8:30 p.m.; Kalo, 9 to 11 p.m.
Also Saturday evening, Brothers DuPree will be taking the Drunken Goose Stage at Small Mountain Street Tacos from 6 to 9 p.m.
So, here’s some cool news. Southwest Oklahoma’s own Fildio has been selected for the Choice Cuts Bandcamp collection, “Where Were You in ‘22? Choice Cuts From Central Oklahoma’s Rock Underground, Vol. 3.”
Although the title infers the selected artists aren’t well known, the truth is actually a little different. Fildio is one of the hardest and most consistently working bands from our neck of the woods.
Bassist Ben Ellis said the inclusion is cool, if not a bit surreal.
“It’s kind of cool to be considered part of the ‘rock underground,’” he said, “but doesn’t that also mean that nobody knows about you?”
With singer Brandon Barnett, Ellis said he and drummer Nathan Red Elk and guitarist Clay Commings, the band is gelling into a precision unit.
You can see and listen for yourself.
Check out their newest video for “Can’t Believe You’re Real,” live from the Common Room in Chickasha: https://youtu.be/O4LAXz0rTRk.
For the compilation, Fildio and their song “That’s Just Me,” joins a big range of Oklahoma bands with a range of styles. From punk rock attitude and amplitude from Anarch for A … to Bugnog and Nog, it’s a wild range of sounds on tap.
I made a friend at the Baroness show in Oklahoma City a few months back who told me to check out Bugnog. A two-piece, drum/guitar combo out of Norman, these guys are a nice fuzzy kick in the pants.
Check out Bugnog’s song, “Chuggernaut” and you’ll catch my drift: https://youtu.be/9lBfoseeEZ4.
You can purchase the “Where Were You in ‘22? Choice Cuts From Central Oklahoma’s Rock Underground, Vol. 3” collection for $7 to download: https://choicecuts.bandcamp.com/album/where-were-you-in-22-choice-cuts-from-central-oklahomas-rock-underground-vol-3?fbclid=IwAR2aXdxGcmTqSj0HJ6TYtHjxu3WQgnFySkCmrsEufzHRhet9jBss6-LLHd0.

The first two episodes of The Rings of Power have finally premiered on Prime Video, kicking off season 1 of the prequel series about the Second Age of Middle-earth about a time set several thousand years before the events of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
During this era of peace and prosperity, there are subtle signs of re-emerging evil as many characters’ lives come crashing together. Among them are the lumbering giant (Daniel Weyman), who crash lands on Middle-earth via a meteor, and the Harfoot, Elanor ‘Nori’ Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh), who discovers him.
Now that the first two episodes are streaming, both Weyman and Kavenagh address the many theories about the stranger’s true identify, including a popular one that he’s Gandalf, the wise and powerful wizard originally played by Sir Ian McKellen in Peter Jackson’s film adaptations of the novels. [Warning: Spoilers for the first two episodes of The Rings of Power.]
The Nomadic Harfoots
While Hobbits are canon, and led J.R.R. Tolkien’s previous books, Harfoots are new to the overall franchise. The characters, notably the Brandyfoot family – Nori (Markella Kavenagh), Largo and Marigold Brandyfoot (Dylan Smith and Sara Zwangobani) – and their friend, Poppy Proudfellow (Megan Richards), make their debut after the showrunners extracted their story from a section of Tolkien’s writing, “Concerning Hobbits,” where the author wrote about the nomadic community’s wandering days.
More specifically, Smith explains, “they’re refugees from the last great war. They’ve deemed their only means of survival is to keep moving along secretive paths and have the ability to disappear at the snap of a finger. And what is all of that for? It's not just eating another meal, it's so that they can keep laughing, keep playing, keep that innocence alive. But it's under unbelievable duress and they are the only ones in the world that have no agency over the story. They are the only ones in the world that are pure victims to whatever political negotiations go on.”
Nori, meanwhile, is the curious one of the bunch, unafraid to test the limits of her community’s comforts and wants to know more about the world beyond Rhovanion. “She loves pushing boundaries. She’s a troublemaker,” Kavenagh says. “But she just wants to improve the Hartfoots' quality of life and does so by taking risks. She leads with the idea that a fear of risks can be greater than the risk itself.”
Poppy, however, is not as adventurous, and often balances out Nori’s curiosity with reason. “Poppy’s kind of the one who likes to draw her back in. But there’s still an intrigue there and there’s such a love for her friendship that she goes with her and that’s where you find them in the beginning,” Richards says.
It’s because of that, Nori is able to convince Poppy to go along with her to find where the meteor that streaked through the skies of Middle-earth crashed. And it’s there they encounter a giant covered in ash amid the burning wreckage. Not wanting to leave him behind, Nori and Poppy pull him out of the rubble and care for him as he regains his ability to communicate.
The only thing the Harfoots know about the lumbering giant is that there’s a constellation possibly pointing to where he needs to go and his magical connection with fireflies -- and possibly other creatures of Middle-earth.
The Lumbering Giant’s True Identity
Not long after the character was revealed in the trailers did theories start popping up about the Stranger’s true identity. Among them is the popular one: That he’s actually Gandalf, even though the character’s whereabouts in the Second Age were never revealed by Tolkien. (But his relationship with the Harfoots in the prequel series could explain Gandalf’s admiration and protection of the Hobbits thousands of years later.)
Of course, there are others, suggesting the Stranger may, in fact, be more of an evil presence. He could be Sauron himself, or more likely, Saruman, a great-turned-evil wizard previously played by Christopher Lee in the films.
When asked about those theories and when audiences will learn about his character’s identity, Weyman says, “I would think, hopefully, people will have as much fun watching his story as I had filming it. And I suppose the best thing to say is that while we were working, I, at each point in the story, knew exactly where the character was and who he was and what he was going through.”
He adds, “So, from my point of view, it was quite an easy task to follow that through.”
While Weyman knew who the Stranger was from day one, Kavenagh did not. “[We were] finding it out week to week,” she says. “I mean, you’ll see when you watch it why it was also kind of beneficial because of how the Stranger is and how Nor is as well.”
She adds, “But yeah, it was an experience.”
That said, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, who makes her debut as Queen Regent Míriel in episode three, suggests there’s “a real joy in just letting it unfold.”
“We enjoy all the fan theories and we have those ideas. But even for some of us, we don’t ultimately know the way in which our characters are going to have these experiences,” she says. “And the audience will also get to see it as it unfolds as well.”

LITTLE ROCK -- The 498 beds at a planned state prison aren't enough to keep up with inmate overcrowding, Pulaski County Judge Barry Hyde told lawmakers during a meeting Wednesday.
Hyde and Mark Whitmore, chief counsel for the Arkansas Association of Counties, told state legislators the state penal system is about 1,900 inmates over capacity in its state prisons and county jails. While the General Assembly approved $75 million for a new prison earlier this year, Hyde and Whitmore said one prison would not be enough to accommodate the overflow and rising crime rate.
"We have a chance to work together to take a stand against the increase in violent crime in Central Arkansas specifically, but [also] in the state of Arkansas in general," Hyde said. "And in the process we can make sure we adequately provide rehabilitation and resources that our inmates need."
With Department of Corrections facilities overcrowded, county jails have had to take on more inmates, putting those facilities close to capacity. To deal with the overcrowding, the state has had to release inmates early, some of whom relapse, contributing to the increase in crime, Whitmore said.
The last time Arkansas built a prison was 2003, and the General Assembly should use some of its recent $1.6 billion surplus to build at least one more, Whitmore said.
"That's why we got the violent crime rate, because the state doesn't have enough state maximum security beds," Whitmore said. "The fact we haven't built a prison in 20 years is the problem. Our population has grown; the crime rate has grown."
The covid-19 pandemic has made the state's inmate crowding problem worse, state and local officials have said, with jury trials and judicial proceedings delayed in 2020, which has led to a backlog. To deal with the backlog, the state Legislature allocated $1 million to add 40 prosecutors and public defenders.
"What I hope you leave here today with is we've got to have more state prison beds," Whitmore said.
The discussion is part of a lobbying effort by local officials to get the Legislature to fund more prisons, with the Arkansas County Judges Association and Arkansas Sheriffs Association issuing a joint resolution calling for a "substantial increase in the number of state prison beds."
Hyde called inmate overcrowding an "economic development issue," saying prospective companies often ask about the county's jail size when exploring a potential move.
"This is a public safety issue," Hyde said. "This is an economic development issue much more than many of you realize."
For the past few years, local law enforcement has alerted the public about an increase in violent crime. Recent shootings in Little Rock have underscored a need for the state to take crime more seriously, some public officials said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Arkansas ranked fifth in the nation in homicide mortality rate in 2020.
Last month, Gov. Asa Hutchinson called a news conference in the wake of a particularly violent weekend in Little Rock where there were 17 shootings from Aug. 12-14. Along with adding space for more inmates, Hutchinson said the state needed to add additional crisis stabilization units, which provide mental health treatment as an alternative to jail.
But some Democratic lawmakers in attendance at the meeting pushed back, saying the state needs to invest in crime prevention programs and not just prisons. State Sen. Joyce Elliot, D-Little Rock, likened building prisons to adding lanes on highways.
"Every time you open the lanes, you just fill them up," Elliot said.
Democratic state Rep. Fred Allen of Little Rock said the state needs to put more resources into intervention and prevention programs, noting that many inmates can't get a job after they leave prison.
"If we [had] built 10 more prisons they would say it's not enough," Allen said. "So we can't build our way out of this."
Hyde defended Pulaski County's crime intervention and rehabilitation efforts, saying instead the state's criminal justice system had "a missing piece."
"We simply don't have [time] and capacity to deliver those services to those inmates," Hyde said. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/02/arkansas-needs-more-prisons-to-ease-overcrowding/ | 2022-09-02T10:09:03Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/02/arkansas-needs-more-prisons-to-ease-overcrowding/ | true |
WASHINGTON -- A retired New York Police Department officer was sentenced on Thursday to 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 New York Police Department 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.
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.
LAWYER ARRESTED
In another development, a lawyer for the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group has been charged with conspiracy in connection with the attack at the U.S. Capitol, authorities said Thursday.
Kellye SoRelle -- general counsel for the anti-government group -- was arrested in Texas on charges including conspiracy to obstruct the certification of President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, the Justice Department said.
SoRelle, 43, is a close associate of Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers' leader who is heading to trial later this month alongside other extremists on seditious conspiracy charges.
After Rhodes' arrest in January, SoRelle told media outlets she was acting as the president of the Oath Keepers while he's behind bars.
Prosecutors have accused Rhodes and his militia group of plotting for weeks to stop the transfer of power and keep former President Donald Trump in office, purchasing weapons, organizing military-style trainings and setting up battle plans.
SoRelle told The Associated Press last year -- when FBI agents seized her phone as part of the Jan 6. investigation -- that she had no knowledge of or involvement in the Capitol breach.

Inside linebacker Blake Martinez’s surprising release Thursday evening — hours after Giants general manager Joe Schoen spoke to reporters — is obviously a notable storyline.
But it does nothing notable for the Giants’ disastrous salary cap situation. Schoen’s predecessor, Dave Gettleman, not only destroyed the Giants’ roster over the past four seasons, but he also left Schoen in cap hell. | https://www.nj.com/giants/2022/09/even-after-blake-martinezs-release-joe-schoen-is-still-digging-out-of-dave-gettlemans-salary-cap-mess-so-this-is-his-next-step-he-says.html | 2022-09-02T10:14:24Z | https://www.nj.com/giants/2022/09/even-after-blake-martinezs-release-joe-schoen-is-still-digging-out-of-dave-gettlemans-salary-cap-mess-so-this-is-his-next-step-he-says.html | true |
SYDNEY - Australia on Friday increased its intake of permanent migrants to 195,000 this financial year, up by 35,000, in a bid to help businesses and industries battling widespread staff shortages and reduce reliance on short-term workers.
The COVID-19 pandemic closed the country's borders for nearly two years and along with an exodus of holiday workers and foreign students left businesses struggling to find staff to keep afloat.
"It makes no sense to bring people in, have them for a few years, then get a new cohort in to adapt to the Australian work environment," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters on the sidelines of a government jobs summit in Canberra.
"We want people ... to have a mortgage, to raise a family, to join the Australian family. Migration is part of our story."
The increase will take effect for the current financial year ending June 2023 and will bring Australia's immigration target largely in line with the annual cap of 190,000 that was in place between 2013 and 2019.
That level was cut by 15% to 160,000 just months before the emergence of COVID-19 in a bid to ease urban congestion. The government gave no details on numbers going forward.
The recently elected centre-left Labor government convened the two-day summit, inviting business groups and unions to help find solutions to key economic challenges.
Australia's unemployment rate is now at a near 50-year-low of 3.4% but labour shortages have contributed to soaring inflation that has reduced real wages.
"COVID is presenting us, on a platter, with a chance to reform our immigration system that we will never get back again. I want us to take that chance," Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil told the summit.
SKILLED LABOUR RACE
Australia has been competing with other developed economies, like Canada and Germany, to lure more high-skilled immigrants, with the surge in demand exacerbated by an ageing population.
Canada, last month, said it was on track to exceed its goal of granting permanent residency to more than 430,000 people this year, more than double Australia's target, while Germany plans reforms to make itself more attractive to skilled workers.
But a blowout in visa processing times in Australia has left about a million prospective workers stuck in limbo, worsening the staff shortage crisis.
"We understand that when people wait and wait, the uncertainty can become unmanageable," Immigration Minister Andrew Giles told the summit. "This is not good enough, and reflects a visa system that has been in crisis."
In a bid to speed up visa processing, Giles said the government will spend A$36.1 million ($25 million) to beef up its staff capacity by 500 people for the next nine months.
Businesses welcomed the government's efforts.
"We are in a global competition for the world's best talent and the more barriers we remove from the system the more chance we will have of attracting the best people," said Innes Willox, Chief Executive of the Australian Industry Group.

BEIJING, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JacobioPharma (1167.HK) announced that the company has dosed the first non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient with KRAS G12C and STK11 co-mutation in the Phase IIa trial of KRAS G12C inhibitor JAB-21822 in China.
JAB-21822 is a KRAS G12C inhibitor independently developed by Jacobio utilizing the allosteric inhibitor technology, which is now used as the front-line treatment for advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C and STK11 co-mutation.
In China, there are approximately 40,000 new patients with tumors harboring KRAS G12C mutation every year. STK11 is an in-parallel biomarker of KRAS G12C. According to relevant studies, non-small cell lung cancer patients with STK11 and KRAS G12C co-mutation receiving KRAS G12C inhibitor treatment have a higher objective response rate in clinical study.
"JAB-21822 is the first and only clinical stage drug approved for first-line treatment of STK11 and KRAS G12C co-mutated non-small cell lung cancer in China. JAB-21822 is independently developed by Jacobio, which has potential to bring better treatment options to patients based on efficacy and safety," said Dr. WANG Yinxiang, Chairman and CEO of Jacobio.
JAB-21822 is the best-in-class potential project for KRAS G12C inhibitors. The preliminary clinical date of the Phase I study of JAB-21822 published at the 2022 annual meeting of American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) shows that as of April 1, 2022, a total of 72 patients with advanced solid tumors were enrolled, and efficacy was assessed for 32 NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C mutation. The overall response rate (ORR) was 56.3% (18/32) and the disease control rate (DCR) was 90.6% (29/32).
Currently, JAB-21822 is simultaneously undergoing clinical trials for monotherapy and combination therapy in China, the United States and Europe, including the monotherapy for NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation, pancreatic ductal carcinoma and colorectal cancer; the combination therapy with EGFR monoclonal antibody; and the combination therapy with JAB-3312, a self-developed SHP2 inhibitor of the Company.

HERAT, Afghanistan — An explosion tore through a crowded mosque in western Afghanistan on Friday, killing a prominent cleric, Taliban officials said. The death toll was expected to rise, they said.
The explosion killed Mujib-ul Rahman Ansari, a prominent cleric who was known across Afghanistan for his criticism of Afghanistan’s Western-backed governments over the past two decades. Ansari was seen as close to the Taliban, who seized control over the country a year ago as foreign forces withdrew.
His death was confirmed by the chief Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid.
The spokesman for Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry said there were more dead and wounded, but could not provide details.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Friday’s blast.
Previous mosque attacks have been claimed by the Islamic State extremist group, which has carried out a series of attacks against religious and ethnic minorities in Afghanistan, as well as Taliban targets.
The Herat mosque draws followers of Sunni Islam, the dominant stream in Afghanistan that is also followed by the Taliban.
In the year since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, Islamic State attacked several mosques in suicide attacks during Friday prayers, with a focus on targeting Shiite Muslims. Islamic State followers are also Sunnis and consider Shiites to be infidels. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/blast-in-afghan-mosque-officials-report-dead-and-wounded/2022/09/02/c16f4d24-2aa3-11ed-a90a-fce4015dfc8f_story.html | 2022-09-02T10:21:12Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/blast-in-afghan-mosque-officials-report-dead-and-wounded/2022/09/02/c16f4d24-2aa3-11ed-a90a-fce4015dfc8f_story.html | false |
NEW YORK (AP) — Rafael Nadal cut himself on the bridge of his nose with his own racket when it ricocheted off the court on the follow-through from a shot, leaving himself bloodied and dizzy during his second-round victory at the U.S. Open.
Play was delayed for about five minutes during a medical timeout in the fourth set of what would become a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 win against Fabio Fognini at Arthur Ashe Stadium in a match that began Thursday night and finished after midnight on Friday.
It made for a bizarre, and briefly scary, scene, as Nadal immediately grimaced, dropped his racket, put a palm to his face and then placed both hands on his head. He said at his post-match news conference he thought right away that he might have broken his nose, which kept swelling.
He said it was a “shock” when it happened and he felt “a little bit out of the world.”
Still, Nadal managed to joke about it all. Asked during his on-court interview whether he’d ever had that happen before, he mustered a chuckle and replied: “With a golf club but not with a tennis racket.”
How was he feeling?
“Well, just a little bit dizzy at the beginning,” said Nadal, who has won four of his 22 Grand Slam titles at the U.S. Open, most recently in 2019, the last time he entered the hard-court tournament. “A little bit painful.”
The episode came on the first point of the game with Nadal leading 3-0 in the fourth set and clearly in command after ceding the opening set for the second match in a row this week.
The 36-year-old from Spain was moving to his right when he hit a backhand. After making contact with the ball, his racket deflected off the ground and smacked him on the nose.
He went over to the sideline and layed down, waiting for the trainer, and Fognini went over to check on Nadal.
“He told me everything was OK,” Fognini said later. “I hope it’s nothing serious.”
After having a bandage put on his nose, Nadal resumed play. He would lose that game, but not another, improving to 21-0 in Grand Slam matches in 2022.
Nadal won the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June for his 14th title there, then made it to the Wimbledon semifinals in July before the abdominal issue forced him to withdraw (which does not go into the books as a loss).
The match against Fognini, who beat him at the 2015 U.S. Open, did not begin auspiciously for Nadal. His shots were off and he quickly fell behind.
“For more than one hour and a half, I was not competing,” Nadal said. “One of the worst starts, probably, ever.”
The second set was hardly a thing of beauty for either man, filled with poor play by both: They combined for 39 unforced errors and merely nine winners, seven service breaks and only three holds.
“I was lucky, honestly, that Fabio made some mistakes in that second set,” Nadal acknowledged.
When Nadal dumped a backhand into the net, Fognini broke to lead 3-2, then went ahead 4-2. But from there, it was Fognini who faltered, missing four shots in a row to get broken at love as part of a four-game run by Nadal to make it a set apiece.
“With Nadal, you can’t mess around,” Fognini said. “I let him back in the match and he kept getting better from there.”
In the third, Nadal came up with one particularly perfect shot — a forehand on the run that redirected an overhead by Fognini and sent it down the line for a winner to break for 4-2. Nadal’s momentum carried him right to the edge of the stands, where thousands were on their feet, and he punched the air and yelled, “Vamos!”
Not long after, that set belong to Nadal, too, and he would collect 16 of the last 19 games.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jakubowitz Law announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of shareholders of Dingdong (Cayman) Ltd. (NYSE: DDL).
To receive updates on the lawsuit, fill out the form:
https://claimyourloss.com/securities/dingdong-cayman-ltd-loss-submission-form/?id=31306&from=4
This lawsuit is on behalf of persons who purchased, or otherwise acquired, Dingdong American Depository Shares pursuant or traceable to the F-1 registration statements and related prospectus on Form 424B4 issued in connection with Dingdong's June 2021 initial public stock offering.
Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until October 24, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
According to the filed complaint, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the Company's initial public offering misstated and/or omitted facts concerning Dingdong's so-called commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of the food it distributes to the market. For example, despite claiming that it applies "stringent quality control across [its] entire supply chain to ensure product quality to [its] users," Dingdong sold food past its sell-by date. Consequently, Dingdong was, in fact, no better at providing or assuring access to "fresh" groceries than the supermarkets, traditional Chinese wet markets, or traditional e-commerce platforms it repeatedly claimed to be displacing. Moreover, the foregoing conduct subjected Dingdong to an increased risk of regulatory and/or governmental scrutiny and enforcement, all of which, once revealed, were likely to negatively impact Dingdong's business, operations, and reputation.
Jakubowitz Law is vigorous in pursuit of justice for shareholders who have been the victim of securities fraud. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

Imagine singing with a hungry hawk perched on your forearm. Or with massive angel wings busting from your back muscles. How about while being suspended in a harness that dangles you just over the floor? With waterfall-like showers or flaming steel behind you? All soundtracked to a sparse, slithering, knocking beat? The vivid and intense details that make up the new CIX single sound far beyond the scope of a traditional boy band, but this is a group that ensures every detail matters.
With the release of CIX’s new EP, the quintet reestablishes itself as one of K-pop’s most experimental and artistically innovative acts in the scene. According to the group, that specific sense of ambition starts internally and is transferred outwards to their collaborators and in the eventual songs that fans hear.
Titled ‘OK’ Episode 1 : OK Not, the group’s latest is a stark contrast to CIX’s bright and summery single “Wave” from last summer. With the new single “458,” the group embraced a high-speed racing theme with the title acting as a nod to the famous Ferrari model number, the final digits of the speed of light, and representing the phone keypad letters of “ILU,” a.k.a. “I Love You.”
The lyrics speak to resisting falling too fast into love while also not wanting to sprint away from it entirely, bringing the complicated storyline to life with the stunning display of provoking visuals.
Yet it’s all par for the course with CIX, who have become known by their fans, affectionately known as FIX, and among K-pop listeners as an act that will always surpass traditional pop expectations. Read on for what motivates the members to push the boundaries, reflections about their new album, first U.S. tour and more.
Jeff Benjamin: Congratulations on your comeback, CIX. ‘OK’ Episode 1 : OK Not is another impressive, ambitious album. Can you talk about the messages and meanings behind this release?
HYUNSUK: With “love” as the keyword for this album, we expressed different worries to find the essence of “love” through the songs in this album. We’d like to say that this is an album that blends our mature selves through new emotions like pain and emptiness derived from “love.”
BX: And through the title track “458,” we wanted to express the keyword “instinct” from the essence of love in various ways. We wanted to show a conflict between the instinct to go to someone at the fastest speed and the desire to escape from such instinct. We expressed a wild image in the word “instinct” metaphorically through our identity concept story and our “458” music video and visuals!
Jeff Benjamin: You shared how you worked with new producers, choreographers and changed many things for Be OK. It led to great results. You have the same producer, choreographer and stylists for this new album. How do you develop your teams?
SEUNGHUN: We make sure all five of us talk among ourselves first and then talk to everyone who’s involved in the making of the album. For example, we would discuss among ourselves, “Who should we pick for the choreographer?” Because every choreographer has different styles, so we just want to make sure that it goes well with the album, the whole song, everything. For Be OK, like you mentioned, we got to work with a lot of new producers, choreographers, and new members so it was just a very refreshing work to get through.
BX: We’re experiencing different things in each album. Of course, we are writing songs a lot, but we are just trying to find the right songs to fit our color as well. That’s actually the hardest part in songwriting and producing—to actually find the song that really suits all of us and fit our group’s color. We’re working very hard on that too.
Jeff Benjamin: The last album was a “Prologue,” this new album is “Episode 1.” Do you know how the new era will unfold?
BAEJINYOUNG: We would love to spoil you a little bit on the next album, but we don’t know anything yet. We’re still discussing a lot of details so we are not even sure what’s coming next. We have our own universe of albums and storyline that follows through, but we also want to try different genres and styles in future albums. So, we hope you keep an eye on that, please.
Jeff Benjamin: Let’s go back to your first U.S. tour you recently completed. A fan-meeting tour announced for 2020 was postponed by the pandemic, but you finally made your way two years later.
SEUNGHUN: During the COVID, we were just waiting to perform. We were waiting to share our performance with everyone around the world, to see our FIXs and other K-pop fans coming to our performances and having fun. It was very exciting to see. And we just got so much love and support from everyone, so we are very grateful for the experience.
BX: Going over six cities in the U.S., we were very excited to have our final performance in New York and meet you again too. It was really exciting for us.
BAEJINYOUNG: In Korea, because we were under certain circumstances and under conditions that were just beyond our control, we did feel like it was missing something when audiences couldn’t cheer. We were just waiting for the cheers to come, but we couldn’t get that until we got to the States. We actually got to meet our fans so close in the States and onstage, and we felt really accomplished hearing them cheer and chant so hard for us.
HYUNSUK: It was definitely nice to see our fans face to face finally. It was perfect timing. Of course, we hope things get even better so we have more opportunities to meet our fans very close. We were just very thankful for all the fans who came out to meet us.
Jeff Benjamin: I think CIX’s music is dependably great. We named “Cinema” one of Billboard’s Top 10 K-Pop Songs of 2021. Do you notice the acclaim from international listeners?
BX: Even though we release albums in Korean language, we make sure that all international fans and every K-pop fan can listen to them and relate to them. So, we put a lot of consideration and thought into choosing each track for each album.We discuss a lot with our staff members, producers, and among ourselves as well.
Jeff Benjamin: What kind of discussion were your discussions about making “458” and OK Not?
BAEJINYOUNG: Just like the previous album, we exchanged a lot of ideas about our hair, fashion styles and choreography with each other. We especially had many thoughts for this album because we thought we could show a more intense side of ourselves through this album. I came up with an idea for one part in the second verse of the “458” choreography, and I was proud of myself because the members liked it.
YONGHEE: While preparing for this album, we talked a lot about the song selection. SEUNGHUN and I tried new hairstyles that we’d never shown before. We looked for various styles that would suit the album concept, asked for members’ opinions, and tried to show our unique color by referring to inspirational photos.
SEUNGHUN: We all share a lot of opinions when we practice the vocals and choreography, but as BAEJINYOUNG said, we paid more attention to this album because it’s so visually different from our previous album. When we filmed the music video, we considered a lot of things and exchanged feedback about how we could show the intense concept and visual of this album and its title track [single]. While promoting this album, we’re trying to constantly ask our supportive fans through messages about what they want to see from us and to work hard to show what fans have told us.
Jeff Benjamin: It’s not just your title track singles that are strong; there are a ton of good B-sides from past albums. Could you each recommend one B-side song to listeners?
BX: I would recommend “Rewind.” I think its performance is very amazing. I haven’t listened to it for a while, but I listened to it recently and I found the rhythm very catchy and really cool, so, I listened to it a lot on tour, actually.
BAEJINYOUNG: I would recommend “BAD DREAM.” It’s got a really good beat, amazing choreography, and a good level of energy. If you want to get going and you need some adrenaline, you listen to that song.
SEUNGHUN: I would choose “Like It That Way” from our first album. I think fans loved it as much as the title track from that album. It’s a very fun song, but it’s got more of a sexier choreography to it, so it’s got different sides to show in one song. It was promoted a little later than the actual debut and we did perform a little later. I would definitely recommend it.
YONGHEE: I would recommend “Imagine” from the first album. I actually love all the B-side songs from the first album, particularly. It makes me very nostalgic for the day when we debuted and released our first album. So, I would definitely recommend all the B-side tracks in that album.
HYUNSUK: I would recommend the track called “Young.” It’s got a very heavy rock band sound. I actually liked it since we heard the guide version of that song, but when we finished recording it, I loved it even more. So, we definitely hope you go check it out.
Jeff Benjamin: You’ve said CIX will “go at our own pace,” I see that as totally true. You had your best album sales last year, your first tour this year, and the comeback is a major statement. Many want immediate success; how does CIX trust everything will “Be OK”?
BX: One of the secrets we have as a group is we talk a lot among the members. Whenever we face something—hard times or have concerns—we will sit down and talk among ourselves to really figure it out and find an answer. I think that’s what helped us a lot.
BAEJINYOUNG: Like last year, we really wanted all the tracks—including the title and the B-side tracks—to follow the seasonal story. Because it was the summer, we wanted to have a fresh and bright concept in that album, and we made sure that we also have that image and keep it going throughout the whole promotion. We had to get ourselves into a bright, summery mindset.
Jeff Benjamin: YONGHEE, you shared that reading fan messages helped you overcome a bout of depression. CIX’s English track “Here for You” feels like a message to the fans, but it all sounds like a two-way street. You send messages to the fans and they respond with their own messages. Can you share more about that relationship?
YONGHEE: We upload photos or our daily lives on our official SNS [social networking sites]. There’s a platform called “Private Message” [on the music fan app Universe], and we would send our private messages to our fans. We just try to keep a close connection as much as we can. We make sure we deliver our daily lives and how we’re doing, and we also love to listen to them talk about their daily lives. We try to keep that strong connection with our fans. | https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbenjamin/2022/09/02/cix-on-staying-creative-in-k-pop-we-put-a-lot-of-consideration--thought-into-choosing-each-track/ | 2022-09-02T10:25:00Z | https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbenjamin/2022/09/02/cix-on-staying-creative-in-k-pop-we-put-a-lot-of-consideration--thought-into-choosing-each-track/ | true |

Leyton Orient boss Wellens delighted with transfer deadline day deals

Leyton Orient boss Richie Wellens was delighted to add Stephen Duke-McKenna and Jayden Wareham to his squad on transfer deadline day.
Duke-McKenna followed in the footsteps of Charlie Kelman by joining on a season-long loan from Championship club Queens Park Rangers, while Wareham signed in a similar circumstances from Premier League Chelsea.
And Wellens told the club website: "Stephen will join three or four players in our squad that can bounce around different positions.
"He's a versatile player as he can play right-back, in the number eight position or on the right or left wing.
"We think he's got a lot of natural talent and good skill on the ball and he had a good attacking record at Torquay last season.
"When you're building a squad, you need people who can play in a multitude of positions."
Wareham started his youth career in the QPR academy before joining Woking, then signed for Chelsea after a successful trial towards the end of the 2020-21 season.

Wellens added: "Paul Terry has seen a lot of him over the years from his time at Chelsea.
"His work rate, his intensity and his goal threat will make him a very welcome addition to the group.
"His goal record in friendlies and under-21 matches is good, and he's also had that exposure to the men's game during his time at Woking."
Duke-McKenna, who has played 11 times for Guyana, is a product of the Everton academy and had a spell at Bolton before joining QPR.
He scored three goals in 21 games for Torquay last season and spoke to Kelman before agreeing his move.
He added: "“He said he’s enjoying it a lot, he loves the set-up and for me to get myself down as quick as I can, as I’d love it too.
"He said he had a point to prove coming in here, and he’s clearly doing it.
"One of the main things was Orient play quite good football, and with the way the season has started, it’s a team I’m looking forward to coming in to.
"I’m a midfielder. I’d say I’m an all-rounder, I like to attack and score goals, but also the nitty-gritty side of things, and defending."
Speaking of his own move, teenage striker Wareham said: "There were a couple of other options on the table for myself, but after speaking to the manager, it became clear that I wanted to come here.
"The gaffer spoke about his plans for the club, but also for myself and he's got a real vision about what he wants to do this season."
"I've come from the non-league route to Chelsea, and I just want to prove myself, and show younger people to not give up."
"I'm positive, I'm confident, and I'm sure that I will be able to help the side achieve their goals."
Orient also confirmed the departure of striker Harry Smith to League One side Exeter City on a season-long loan.
Smith netted 15 times last season after joining from Northampton but has been struggling for game time this term after picking up an injury in pre-season.
Wellens wished him well, adding: "I love Harry to bits, he's a great lad and we know he will score goals.
"We want to create a culture where everybody is happy, and we understand that if there are sustained periods of time when Harry is not in the team, it would be difficult for him.
"He wants to play football, and I want to see him play football. We want to give him the best opportunity we can to score goals, and that's not to say that in January we won't reconsider our options.
"I wish Harry all the best for his time away from the club, and hope to see him in and among the goals."
Orient will look to extend their six-game unbeaten run in League Two and maintain their hold on top spot when they welcome Tranmere Rovers to Brisbane Road on Saturday (3pm). | https://www.newhamrecorder.co.uk/sport/wellens-on-leyton-orient-transfer-deadline-day-deals-9248630 | 2022-09-02T10:31:00Z | https://www.newhamrecorder.co.uk/sport/wellens-on-leyton-orient-transfer-deadline-day-deals-9248630 | true |
Fresh Air's summer music interviews: Singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash
Fresh Air's summer music interviews: Singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash
Cash was 18 when her dad, Johnny Cash, gave her a list of 100 essential country songs to help her better understand the music that came before her. Originally broadcast in 2009.
Hear The Original Interview
TERRY GROSS, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. This week, we're featuring some of our favorite music interviews from our archive. Today, we'll hear an interview with singer and songwriter Rosanne Cash. She started out recording country music, had several No. 1 hits and won a Grammy but then left Nashville and established herself as a singer-songwriter in the world of indie rock. Since then, Cash has worked across many musical genres, including country, rock, folk, pop and American roots. She's won four Grammys and was nominated for 12 others. In 1973, when she was 18, her father, Johnny Cash, gave her a list of 100 essential country songs he thought she needed to know. At the time, she was more interested in writing her own songs than interpreting the songs of others. But in 2009, she returned to her father's list and recorded 12 of the songs on it. I spoke with her when that album, called "The List," was released. We started with a song from the album, a song called "Sea Of Heartbreak." Bruce Springsteen sings on this one.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SEA OF HEARTBREAK")
ROSANNE CASH: (Singing) The lights in the harbor don't shine for me. And I'm like a lost ship adrift on the sea...
ROSANNE CASH AND BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: (Singing) The sea of heartbreak, lost love and loneliness, memories of your caress, so divine, I wish you were mine again, my dear. I'm on the sea of tears, the sea of heartbreak
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
GROSS: Rosanne Cash, welcome back to FRESH AIR.
CASH: Well, thank you, Terry.
GROSS: Tell me why you wanted to record this record. We'll get to the whole list in a second. But of all the songs on "The List," why "Sea Of Heartbreak?"?
CASH: Why this - why "Sea Of Heartbreak"? It's kind of a perfectly constructed country song. And it was on the list, so, you know, that gave me permission. And it's - it embodies that longing that is in so much of country music really, really well. And beyond that, it takes a metaphor and carries it to the very end without breaking that narrative about the metaphor, without becoming kitschy, which a lot of songs do. And that's kind of perfect to me. And it's also - it makes it a bit of a period piece because you don't hear many modern songs that do that. And there's also some language in it that's not modern. You know, when he says divine and my dear, these are kind of old-school ways of talking, and I really enjoy that. So it was like stepping into a period piece. At the same time, it has the hallmark of every great song, which is that it transcends time. It has a timeless quality to it, and it feels very modern.
GROSS: It's amazing. The lyric was written by Hal David, who wrote the lyrics for so many Burt Bacharach songs. So he's not exactly Mr. Country Music, Mr. Nashville (laughter).
CASH: No. And, you know, I myself thought that Don Gibson had written it - because he had the early, definitive version of the song - and then found out that Hal David and Paul Hampton wrote it in New York. It was a huge surprise.
GROSS: Your father has a good recording of this.
CASH: He does. You know, not being disloyal, but I have to say, I still prefer the Don Gibson version. And, you know, my dad recorded his version with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on "Unchained," and he might have been a little too energized from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
(LAUGHTER)
GROSS: Now you have Bruce Springsteen singing with you on this one. Is he a friend?
CASH: No, I couldn't call him a friend. I've met him a few times over the years, but it would be presumptuous to say he's a friend.
GROSS: Why did you ask him to duet on this song?
CASH: Because he's just a dream date, Terry.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: We knew we wanted to do a duet, so I did my part on "Sea Of Heartbreak." We go, God, who's the perfect person to ask to sing on this song? Who's, like, the embodiment of American romantic male voice? Well, that would be Bruce Springsteen. So we asked him.
GROSS: And he said yes.
CASH: He said yes. I thought, oh, there's a 50/50 chance Bruce will do it. And then, you know, he knew the song. He'd got the concept of the list. He's so steeped in country music, anyway, and roots music. So it was an easy thing for him, I think.
GROSS: So let's get the story of the list. Your album is called "The List," and there's a story behind it. So would you tell the story?
CASH: Yeah. When I was 18 years old, I went on the road with my dad after I graduated from high school. And we were riding on the tour bus one day, kind of rolling through the south, and he mentioned a song. We started talking about songs, and he mentioned one, and I said, I don't know that one. And he mentioned another. I said, I don't know that one either, Dad. And he became very alarmed that I didn't know what he considered my own musical genealogy. And I was very steeped in pop and rock music, and I grew up in Southern California. So he spent the rest of the afternoon making a list for me. And at the end of the day, he said, this is your education. And across the top of the page, he wrote 100 essential country songs. The list might have been better titled "100 Essential American Songs" because it was very comprehensive. He covered every critical point in Southern and American music, early folk songs, protest songs, Delta blues, Southern gospel, early country music, Appalachian. Everything that fed into modern country music was on that list. So his overview was really of a musicologist but formed by his instincts, you know, and just the rhythm in his own blood. So I realized when he gave me the list at the age of 18 that this was an important document, and I set about learning these songs. But it took me, I think, until now to realize that he was really giving me himself, a part of his heart and soul.
GROSS: When you say you went about learning those songs, did you get the sheet music or get the records? How did you learn them?
CASH: All I had to do was get my dad (laughter) because he had them all at his fingertips. You could say, well, how does this one go? And he'd pick up a guitar and sing it to me. And then some I knew the records, you know. Like, I had known Ray Charles' "Take These Chains From My Heart" since childhood. I had known Patsy Cline "She's Got You" since childhood. Others I found the records for.
GROSS: So you finally realized later in life that your father had given you a piece of himself and a piece of his own kind of genetic makeup when he gave you this list of 100 songs. But when he gave you that list, did you immediately think, thanks, Dad, or was it more like, thanks, Dad?
CASH: Like an 18-year-old would do?
GROSS: Yeah.
CASH: No, I - you know, if he had given it to me even a couple years earlier, I might have said, oh, yeah, eye roll, thanks, Dad. But I wanted this. I wanted him. You know, my parents were divorced. I was just socking in this great time with my dad, who was clean and sober. So I wanted that experience of loving what he loved and learning about his life. Also I was just starting to write songs, so this was a template for me. These are excellent songs. He wrote the list as a songwriter. So I had that template for great songwriting. It was exciting to me.
GROSS: Now, do you still have that piece of paper that the list was on?
CASH: I do. I found it again in 2000 - late 2005, when I was writing the narratives for my last record. It was "Black Cadillac," and I wrote narratives for the show. And I found the list in 2005, and I thought, well, this will make a nice subject for a narrative for the "Black Cadillac" show, never thinking anything more than that. And I wrote this narrative, and it started when I was 18 years old. My dad gave me this list. Well, everybody started coming up to me saying, where's that list? When are you going to record that list? It became funny.
GROSS: So what did you do with the piece of paper now? Is it, like, framed? Is it preserved? Where do you keep it?
CASH: I keep it in my files. It's not framed. It's not - you know, I want to do the right thing with the actual list at some point, but I don't want to just publish it on the internet or, you know, give it away yet partly because I want to do Volume 2.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: And I don't want anyone else to do Volume 2.
GROSS: Well, I want to play another song from the list, and this is a great song. I love this song that Patsy Cline made famous. It's called "She's Got You." And of all the songs on the list, why did you want to do this one?
CASH: Well, it's a classic country song. Anyone who knows country music knows this song. Unfortunately, they also know Patsy Cline's version, which is so iconic that I had some trouble getting past that to actually record it myself. But you know, what's great about this song, too, is that it's a list. In the song is listed all the things that the other woman has. So it's a list within the list.
GROSS: Oh, right.
(LAUGHTER)
GROSS: Yeah. And, I guess, what do you do to put yourself in the mood to feel the song? I mean, you're married. You know what I mean? Like, you're not...
CASH: Yeah.
GROSS: You're not a teenager anymore. You're married, so - well, maybe that's a presumptuous question. Maybe I should just drop that 'cause...
CASH: No, I know what you're saying. But, you know, passion is not reserved for young people. And I think that my sensitivity to music has actually deepened and expanded as I've gotten older. You add more life experience. You know, the music gets filtered through all of that. And that's beautiful. When I started singing this song, like I said, I had to get Patsy Cline off my shoulder a bit to even approach the song. So once I started singing it, I - and it kind of dawned on me. Oh, this is why this song has been covered so many times. This is a great song.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SHE'S GOT YOU")
CASH: (Singing) I've got your picture that you gave to me. And it's signed with love just like it used to be. The only thing different, the only thing new - I've got your picture, she's got you. I've got the records that we used to share. And they still sound the same as when you were here. The only thing different, the only thing new - I've got the records, she's got you. I've got your memory. Or has it got me? I really don't know, but I know it won't let me be. I've got your class ring...
GROSS: That's my guest, Rosanne Cash, singing "She's Got You," a song made famous by Patsy Cline, a song featured on Rosanne Cash's CD called "The List," which is songs selected from the list of 100 essential songs that her father, Johnny Cash, gave to her when she was 18.
When your father gave you that list, when you were 18, how deep were you into country music?
CASH: Not very. I was, you know, president of my Beatles fan club when I was 11.
GROSS: (Laughter) Really?
CASH: (Laughter) Yes, I was, indeed. And I, like, you know...
GROSS: Is this where I ask who your favorite Beatle was?
CASH: Well, John (laughter).
GROSS: OK, good (laughter).
CASH: And I - you know, I grew up in Southern California. I was very well-versed in Southern California pop and rock and Buffalo Springfield and Neil Young and Elton John and Janis Joplin and then Joni Mitchell, which is the first time I realized that a woman could be a songwriter. So I had, of course, heard what my parents played around the house and heard the musicians my dad drug home off the road. And my mother listened to a lot of Ray Charles and Marty Robbins and Patsy Cline. So I got that in by osmosis as well. But as far as doing a serious immersion in it, like I had done with the Beatles, no, I had not done that.
GROSS: My guest is Rosanne Cash. We'll talk more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF ROSANNE CASH SONG, "MOTHERLESS CHILDREN")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to my interview with singer and songwriter Rosanne Cash. We spoke in 2009 when she released her album "The List." It featured 12 songs from the list of 100 essential country songs that her father, Johnny Cash, made for her.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
GROSS: You've had this list of 100 country music songs that your father gave you since you were 18. So you've had this since the early '70s.
CASH: '73.
GROSS: Why now? Why record them now?
CASH: Oh. That's a very good question. In fact, I resisted it for the first year that John started talking about it. Well, for a lot of reasons - one, I did have a chip on my shoulder when I was younger. I am going to do this my way. Nobody's ever going to be able to say that I traded on my dad's name. It was a large shadow. I wanted out of it. And I probably carried the chip longer than was gracious (laughter). It's OK when you're in your 20s. It's not OK when you're in your 40s. So it was partly that, my knee-jerk reaction against doing anything that traded on my dad's name. Then I started to realize, this is my list. He gave this to me. This was personal. This was like if he was a martial arts master and was passing on a secret to his child. You know, it belongs to me. So when I started to feel myself take possession of it, psychologically, then I started thinking about recording the songs. And the other part is, I don't think I could have done this until I lost my parents, until they died.
GROSS: I was thinking you might feel that way because - is it because they owned the songs?
CASH: Well, if they did, they passed them on. But it's also because you're not - well, I wasn't so interested in legacy until they were gone. I wasn't so interested in what they left me until they weren't here to tell me about it. And, you know, at this point, I had a really serious health problem myself, you know, a face-off with my own mortality. You start thinking about those things. What did my parents leave me? What's in my DNA? What am I going to leave my kids? And these songs are part of my cells in a way. They are part of my DNA. And they are what I want to leave my own kids.
GROSS: You mentioned that you had your own brush with mortality. And I know that you had brain surgery.
CASH: Right.
GROSS: How long ago was this?
CASH: It was November 27.
GROSS: Would you explain what the problem was that necessitated the surgery?
CASH: I had a structural abnormality in my brain I may have been born with. My neurosurgeon wasn't sure. And it just got worse as I got older until I was becoming debilitated by headaches. So they didn't really discover what it was until 2007, earlier in 2007. And then he said, you know, there's no advantage in waiting to fix this; you need to take care of this. So I had brain surgery. And, you know, it's not for the faint of heart, by the way (laughter).
GROSS: And any time somebody enters your brain for surgery, it's really, really risky.
CASH: Yeah.
GROSS: Were you terrified before the surgery?
CASH: I prepared myself psychologically. I - you know, I did hypnosis tapes, and I did just a lot of reflection and talking about it and getting prepared because I knew how scary it was. And in fact, that's why my neurosurgeon said to wait, you know, six weeks or something. He said, you need to prepare yourself psychologically. So I got it when he told me that it was going to be tough, and it was a long recovery. So, you know, I did my work enough beforehand that I walked into the OR laughing with my anesthesiologist, making jokes (laughter) and singing "If I Only Had A Brain."
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: My morbid sense of humor really got me through this, I have to say.
GROSS: What about the recovery on the other end? I mean, you're so steeped in your senses, in - you know, in writing, which you do a lot of, both songs and books. You're completing a memoir now.
CASH: Yeah.
GROSS: In listening, which you do a lot of. In singing. So, I mean, were your senses altered in a way that was either interesting or disturbing after the surgery, during the period of recovery?
CASH: Oh, that's a good question, and nobody has thought to ask me that question. And the truth is that they were. I had the hearing of a dog for about two months (laughter).
GROSS: Wait. What does that mean? That...
CASH: I mean, it was - my hearing was so sensitive that - you know, I live in Manhattan. I couldn't go outside for a month. It was so intense. But the thing I was afraid of didn't happen, which is my experience of music. And I had written this letter to Oliver Sacks before I went into surgery. I had met him at a party the year before. And so I wrote him, and I told him my problem. And I said, do you think that my experience of music is going to be altered? Will I lose my sensitivity to music or my ability to play it? And he wrote me back the most beautiful, typewritten letter that was hand-corrected in ink. And it basically said, my - he said, my expertise is with the cortex, and your problem is with the cerebellum, so I can't really help you, but I do have an inkling of how important this is to you.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: I loved that. That's the letter I'm going to frame.
GROSS: Singer and songwriter Rosanne Cash, recorded in 2009. We'll hear more of our interview after a break, as we continue our weeklong series of some of our favorite interviews with musicians from the archive. I'm Terry Gross, and this is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "MISS THE MISSISSIPPI AND YOU")
CASH: (Singing) I'm growing tired of the big-city lights, tired of the glamor and tired of the sights. In all of my dreams, I am roaming once more back to my home on the old river shore. I am sad and weary, far away from home. Miss the Mississippi and you, dear. Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam. Miss the Mississippi and you. Roaming the wide...
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross, back with more of my interview with singer and songwriter Rosanne Cash, known for her work in country indie rock, folk and American roots music. She's been awarded Grammys and Gold Records and has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. We spoke in 2009, when her album, "The List," was released. It featured 12 songs from the list of a hundred essential country songs that her father, Johnny Cash, compiled for her. He made it in 1973, when she was 18 and on the road with him. When we left off, we were talking about how she had recovered from brain surgery she had undergone to correct a structural abnormality. The surgery was in 2007, a couple of years before our interview was recorded.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
GROSS: You know, you mentioned that before the surgery, you had headaches, like, really severe headaches. I find that the one time when I can't enjoy music, when I want nothing to do with music is when I have a bad headache. And when I think of you going through - was it long period, right, when you had these bad headaches? How did you do music? Did you have any room in your head where it was pleasurable to make or listen to music?
CASH: That's interesting. I listened to a lot more classical music in the two years before the surgery because it seemed - it was more soothing to me. And, you know, I could digest it better. But a lot of times, singing, playing music myself, I would move out of the headache. You know, it would just dissolve. That's an interesting thing about music. You know, people say it's very healing. It is very healing, literally.
GROSS: Well, I think we should hear another song from your new CD, "The List." And I thought this might be a good spot to hear "500 Miles." And I have to say - I was telling you this before we started the interview - if I went through the rest of my life and every hearing this song again, I'd be fine, I thought, until I heard your version. You know, I think so many of us know the Peter, Paul and Mary version, which we heard so many times. And when I was learning folk guitar and doing a terrible job at it, this was one of the songs that I learned to massacre, which is part of the reason why I could go through the rest of my life not hearing it again. But you do this, like, desolate version of it. And...
CASH: Yeah. The lyrics are desolate.
GROSS: They are desolate, but - and your husband is playing organ behind you. And it's this really, like, eerie, lonely organ. It almost sounds like it's being played backwards. It's just so odd. And it's really just a haunting version.
CASH: Well, we wanted to get it very churchy, and we wanted to bring out all of the loneliness of the lyrics, because the lyrics are really sad. And I knew Bobby Bear's version better than I knew Peter, Paul and Mary's version. And Bobby Bear's version was much sadder, and I think we even took it a step further.
GROSS: OK. Well, let's hear it. And this is my guest, Rosanne Cash, singing "500 Miles." Her husband, John Leventhal, is playing organ behind, her and he plays a lot of the instruments and did the arranging for the CD. It's from the album "The List," which features songs from a list of a hundred essential American songs that her father, Johnny Cash, gave her when she was 18. So here's "500 Miles."
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "500 MILES")
CASH: (Singing) If you miss the train I'm on, then you'll know that I have gone. You can hear the whistle blow - a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, 100 miles. You can hear the whistle blow - a hundred miles. Teardrops fell on momma's note when I read the things she ruled. She said, we miss you, hon. We love you. Come on home. Well, I didn't have to pack. I had it all right on my back. Now I'm 500 miles away from home. But I'm one more down. Lord, I'm one. Lord, I'm two. Lord, I'm three. Lord, I'm four. Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home.
GROSS: That's Rosanne Cash from her CD, "The List," which features songs from a list of a hundred essential songs that her father, Johnny Cash, gave her. You know, before hearing that song, we were talking about the brain surgery that you had. And I was wondering what you've turned to in recent years to just kind of give you strength. And just to fill listeners in, it's been a difficult few years. You lost your mother. You lost your father. You lost your stepmother, June Carter Cash. There were three years where you could barely speak and couldn't sing because of polyps on your vocal cords. And then there was the brain surgery that we talked about.
It's been a rough period. And when people go through rough times, I mean, some people turn to religion. Some people turn to drugs or alcohol. Some people have nothing to turn to. Some people are lost. Some people find this inner strength. Looking at your father, I mean, there's been times and there were times in your father's life when he turned to drugs or pills. And - but through all his life, I think he had a sense of Jesus in his life. Your mother was, I think, a pretty devout Catholic.
CASH: She was.
GROSS: Yeah. So what about you? Like, what have you had that has kept you - got you through all of this?
CASH: Well, I adhere to the religion of art and music and small children (laughter) - the pronouncements of small children. I, you know, I'm not the type to turn to religion in that way. I'm not the type to turn to drugs and alcohol. But I do have a profound devotion to art and music and children. And those three things, as well as the love of my husband, who is an amazing partner. And, you know, if you ever have brain surgery, you want to call him up to do all of the vetting of the neurosurgeons and all of that business 'cause he makes a great patient advocate. So...
GROSS: Good. If I'm ever making an album, I'm going to call him, too.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: Oh. That's cute.
GROSS: So you mentioned, you know, art and music as what you turn to as, like - how that's kind of your religion. So what were some of the things that you read or listened to or watched during the period of recovery when you needed that kind of nourishment?
CASH: Joan Didion's "Year Of Magical Thinking" was great. I read the book, and I went to see Vanessa Redgrave perform it. And that was...
GROSS: Oh, wait. Let me stop you right there.
CASH: OK.
GROSS: That is a - I love that book. It was so hard to read it 'cause it's all - it's a journal of the year she lost her husband. It is so painful. So when - what was healing about reading that really painful book?
CASH: Well, I loved it. I found - I know a lot of people found it really difficult and kind of depressing. But I loved her very meticulous documentation of the little moments of insanity that happened during grief. You know, that thing she said about, well, it's 3 hours earlier in California, is he dead in California yet? - I had that feeling and many others that you don't tell people because they will think you're nuts. And so to see it there on the page poetically written, I - it was really great for me. I loved that.
GROSS: What else?
CASH: What else? Oh, Picasso. Arvo Part, the Estonian musician. I went to see a show in Paris that just - it rearranged my whole life. It was so great. It was called "Melancolie," and it was 800 years of madness, despair and depression in art.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: It was fantastic.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: I loved it. I told you, I have a morbid sense of humor.
GROSS: (Laughter).
CASH: But it was just amazing, you know, because we used to express all of these things in art, you know? - the madness and the despair and the depression. And now we just medicate it away. But it was all there on the canvas, and I just loved it.
GROSS: Oh, wow. Did you - after grieving for your parents, did you go through a period feeling like you were grieving for yourself because your brain was being compromised, your life was in jeopardy, your ability to be who you are was in jeopardy?
CASH: Yeah. I was angry at my parents when I had to have brain surgery that they weren't still around. Because no matter how old you are, you want your parents when you're going through...
GROSS: Absolutely.
CASH: ...Something like that.
GROSS: Yeah.
CASH: And I - yeah. Did I grieve for myself? No. I kind of thought, well, why not me? I have good health insurance. You know, I don't have to show up to a 9-to-5 job. I - you know, it - I didn't have that feeling of, oh, why me? I never had that.
GROSS: You never had the feeling of being resentful or envious of everybody else who didn't have to go through the brain surgery that you were about to go through?
CASH: Mmm, no. I don't do that. I don't do comparisons 'cause I always lose.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: That's...
GROSS: Is that how you feel?
CASH: Yes, that's exactly how I feel.
GROSS: So...
CASH: No, but not that I always lose. It's that if - the process of comparing yourself to someone else, you're setting yourself up to not feel good. So I don't bother.
GROSS: Getting back to the list of songs again that your father gave you, did you love the same songs on that list after the surgery that you loved before? Was there any - did your taste change?
CASH: Mmm. I love them more now. I love everything more now. I know that sounds like a cliche, but I do. But I love these songs so much, and they keep getting deeper and broader and more poetic and more full of life for me. Every time I hear them, every time I put on one of the original versions or I get to sing it myself, it's all new. It's amazing that it took this long for me to realize what was always there, you know? Like T.S. Eliot said, you return home and know it for the first time. I feel like that. I've returned home and known it for the first time.
GROSS: My guest is Rosanne Cash. We'll talk more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF ROSANNE CASH SONG, "CHANGE PARTNERS")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to my interview with Rosanne Cash. She's known for singing her own songs, but she released a CD called "The List" on which she sang some of the songs from the list of 100 essential songs that her father, Johnny Cash, made for her back in 1973 when she was 18. We spoke when the album "The List" was released in 2009.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
GROSS: I want to play another song from your new album, and I was thinking of "Girl From The North Country." I think you do a beautiful job of this. Bob Dylan wrote it. It was on his 1969 "Freewheelin'" album - 1962, I mean. What year is it? More like '62, probably. And...
CASH: Yeah, it's earlier than '69.
GROSS: Yeah, I think it's, like, '62.
CASH: 'Cause they did "Nashville Skyline" in '69.
GROSS: That was '69, yeah.
CASH: Yeah.
GROSS: So in '69, your father recorded it with Dylan on Dylan's "Nashville Skyline" album. So why did you choose this one for your own?
CASH: This was John's idea to do this song. And I know why it's on the list - because, you know, my dad made the list in 1973, and he had just recorded this four years earlier with Bob. So it was still kind of fresh to him. It's one of the newest songs on the list. And when John brought up that idea, I said, oh, gosh, I can't. I can't do it. It's almost sacrilegious. I - not only do I have my dad and Bob's recorded version in my head, I have images of that session in my head. I wasn't at that session, but there is footage of it. And it was just such a watershed record, too, you know? I became the coolest 14-year-old in the world when my dad recorded this song with Bob Dylan. And I said, I just can't do that. It's outside of my own realm.
And John said, let's listen to Bob's original version and approach it that way. And his original version is - it's in the tradition of a classic folk song that's rooted in Elizabethan music, even. And I got to do that old folk twist of a woman singing about another woman, which was great. I loved that. And once we listened to the original version and I could approach it like that, I went, oh, I get it. Yeah. This is gorgeous.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY")
CASH: (Singing) If you're traveling in the north country fair, where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, remember me to the one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. If you go when the snowflakes fall, when the rivers freeze and summer ends, please, see if she has a coat so warm to keep her from the howling winds.
GROSS: That's Rosanne Cash singing Dylan's "Girl From The North Country," from her new CD "The List," which is songs from a list of 100 great American songs, essential country songs, that her father, Johnny Cash, gave her when she was 18 years old.
You know, I think it's really interesting that you're doing this album of songs by other people because you're best known as a singer-songwriter. You do your own songs. And this kind of frees you up to just be the singer and the interpreter and also to sing other people's melodies, which I think must be kind of refreshing in its own way.
CASH: Yeah, it is. It is. It was a little scary at first because I didn't ever want to put my voice front and center, you know? I was a songwriter. That was the torch I carried. This is an honorable profession. This is what I do. I'm a songwriter. My voice just serves what I'm writing about. So to let all that go - I mean, bringing the sensibilities of it, actually, to the song choices - but to just be the interpreter was incredibly liberating and really fun.
GROSS: You know, it's interesting that you've done this album of covers. John Doe did an album of classic country covers. Loudon Wainwright just did an album of Charlie Poole songs. So you know, the three of you are famous as songwriters. And within a period of months, you're turning to other people's songs. I just find that so interesting. And all of those albums I just mentioned are really good.
CASH: Well, there is a cannon of American music that maybe an entire generation doesn't know that well, you know, people who weren't around to hear Patsy Cline's version of "She's Got You" or a song like "Take These Chains", or never heard Ray Charles' "Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music" or Hank Snow or any of these people. So I always felt like, you can't imagine the Scots or the Irish without Celtic music. You can't imagine us, the Americans, without these songs. They are so important to us. And it would be a tragedy if they were just, you know, you had to - if they were just in a museum, if they were just archived somewhere, if they weren't still being performed.
GROSS: Oh, I really agree with you. When we last spoke, it was 2006, maybe. And this was after you had started singing again after your three-year bout of not being able to sing because of polyps on your vocal cords. And in that interview, you said that when you had the polyps, you vowed that if you recovered that you would give up all the anxiety that you had surrounding singing...
CASH: (Laughing).
GROSS: ...And just kind of enjoy singing and enjoy, you know, the talents that you had. So did that work out? Have you been able to just...
CASH: (Laughter).
GROSS: As you've released this album of you singing other people's songs, have you been able to just enjoy singing without the attendant anxieties?
CASH: I'm laughing because I did say that, didn't I (laughter)?
GROSS: You did.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: I'm glad you reminded me (laughter).
GROSS: You're welcome.
CASH: Yeah. I did give up a lot of the anxiety. I'm not a person who will ever entirely give up anxiety. I mean, it kind of fuels my...
GROSS: (Laughter).
CASH: ...My everything (laughter). But I did stop the criticism. That's what I stopped, the self-criticism. You know, if I miss a note, if I can't sustain it as long as I want, you know, if my diaphragm gives away or something, I'd just go, well, that's OK. That's all right, you know? Human being here. But I enjoy it a lot more. I do. I did keep that part of the promise to myself, is that I got it back, and I enjoy it a lot more.
GROSS: My guest is Rosanne Cash. We'll talk more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF ROSANNE CASH SONG, "SEVEN YEAR ACHE")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. We're listening to an interview from our archive with singer and songwriter Rosanne Cash. We spoke in 2009 when she released her album "The List," featuring songs from the list of 100 essential country songs that her father, Johnny Cash, compiled for her. He made that list in 1973 when she was 18 and on the road with him. She's Cash's oldest child. Her mother was his first wife.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
GROSS: Your father lived his life onstage; your mother didn't. Where do you fit in in terms of comfort level onstage and in terms of, like, having a public component of your life?
CASH: That's something that I still struggle with. My daughter just made her first record, and it's coming out soon. She's 27 years old, and she has not asked me for any advice. She's wanted to do this on her own. It's history repeating itself. But she did call and say, Mom, how do I have a successful career as a musician without having a public life? And it kind of broke my heart because that was the exact question I asked at her age. And I said, I don't know because, you know, songs are not complete until they're heard. You know, you can't just do this for your living room. It's - part of doing it is putting it out there. And, of course, being a performer, that's a whole other thing. But I still do struggle with that. And I guess the - I'm more comfortable - you know how Malcolm Gladwell had that 10,000-hour rule - like, if you do something 10,000 hours, you become an expert at it? I feel like maybe I'm close to 10,000 hours.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: So I'm a bit more comfortable. But you're right. My mother was very, very private, and my dad lived out his best self onstage. So I have both of those examples, you know? Don't tell anybody anything, keep to yourself, and take everything to the stage.
GROSS: Wow. That's really confusing, isn't it?
CASH: It is. So I've had to work it out for myself. And what I do is both. I have a great private life. I don't, you know, divulge everything. I find that incredibly distasteful. And I love performing.
GROSS: Well, I'm glad you found that comfort zone for yourself, that you found where the line is. I want to close with another track from "The List," but since I've chosen everything so far, I thought I'd be generous and let you choose one.
(LAUGHTER)
CASH: Do you want something sad and slow and ballad-y (ph) or something a little more up?
GROSS: I'm letting you choose.
CASH: OK. "Motherless Children" - this song is one of the oldest songs on "The List," and it was amazing how many people had done it, everyone from Billie Holiday to the Louvin Brothers to Eric Clapton. There are many different versions, many, many, many verses, too. So John and I had to sort through them and kind of make it more linear, you know, just pull four verses that would work together. And John had just lost his mother a couple of weeks before we recorded this. So I think we were both feeling that sense of loss and being motherless. And I can really hear it in John's guitar playing in this track.
GROSS: Rosanne Cash, it's just been wonderful to talk with you again. Thank you so much.
CASH: It's my pleasure, Terry. Thank you for having me.
GROSS: My interview with singer and songwriter Rosanne Cash was recorded in 2009.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "MOTHERLESS CHILDREN")
CASH: (Singing) Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone. Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone. Motherless children have a hard time. There's all that weeping and all that crying. Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone. Father will do the best he can when the mother is gone. Father will do the best he can when the mother is gone. Father will do the best he can, but there's so many things he just don't understand. Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone.
GROSS: Tomorrow on FRESH AIR, more favorite music interviews from the FRESH AIR archive. We'll hear Smokey Robinson talking about writing hits like "Shop Around" and "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and starting Motown with Berry Gordy, and Isaac Hayes talking about writing the hit "Soul Man" for Sam & Dave and writing and performing the theme for "Shaft."

Federal judge hears arguments for Trump's request for a special master
Federal judge hears arguments for Trump's request for a special master
A federal judge is not yet ruling on former President Donald Trump's request for a special master, saying she will enter a written order at some point.
ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
Lawyers for former President Trump and the Justice Department squared off today in a Florida courtroom. Trump's lawyers want a federal judge to appoint a special master, an independent person to review documents seized last month at Trump's Palm Beach residence, Mar-a-Lago. Lawyers for the Justice Department told the judge that's unnecessary, and they say it would interfere with their ongoing investigation of the former president. NPR's Greg Allen was in the courtroom. And, Greg, what did the judge say about whether she's going to appoint a special master or not?
GREG ALLEN, BYLINE: Well, she did not rule from the bench today, Ari. She said she would issue a written order in due course, in her words. In an order last month she said, though, it was her preliminary intent to appoint a special master. And today she asked the government what harm would be caused by an independent review of what's going on there. Justice Department lawyer Jay Bratt said that - Jay Bratt said it would slow down the investigation. He raised concerns about how the classified material would be handled by whoever does serve in that role. And his main argument, though, was that the material seized belongs to the government, not to former President Trump. He said - Bratt said he's no longer the president. Because of that, he doesn't have the right to those documents. And that ends the analysis.
SHAPIRO: What do Trump's lawyers want a special master to do?
ALLEN: Well, it was interesting in court today. Trump's lawyers started out talking about the need for the special master to review documents that may be subject to attorney-client privilege and to return any that would be covered by that. Judge Eileen Cannon - who's a Trump appointee, by the way - asked them, well, what about executive privilege? And then one of Trump's lawyers, Jim Trusty, picked up on that. And he said, oh, yes, executive privilege is in play as well. And that, as you know, is a highly contentious issue, whether a former president can assert a claim of executive privilege against the current executive branch. The government objected to that position. It brought up - that brought about discussion of a case that involved President Richard Nixon. And that was back during the Watergate era, the Watergate investigation, and it was a case that Nixon lost. The government said firmly that it would be unprecedented for a former president to assert an executive privilege claim against the executive branch.
SHAPIRO: Now, the government argues that it was just executing a search warrant the same way it does every day in cases all across the country. But this is hardly an ordinary case, right?
ALLEN: Right. And I think that's at the crux of the case that the Trump lawyers are making here. They told the judge the search has raised questions about the integrity of the investigation and the need for transparency. They called the release in court documents of a photo this week that showed classified documents strewn over Mar-a-Lago's carpeted floor, basically a press release by the government. They said appointing a special master would help, quote, "restore order and public confidence in the process." They suggested that Trump has a right under the Presidential Records Act to access these documents. They said this isn't some Department of Defense staffer who stuck documents in a bag and snuck them out in the middle of the night. They seemed to indicate this was much different from that. They said a search - the search that was done at Mar-a-Lago raises, quote, "a broad concern about the institution of president." So the judge asked a lot of questions today, and she listened attentively to all their arguments. And we'll now have to just await her decision.
SHAPIRO: She also ordered more documents unsealed today, right? What are those?
ALLEN: Right. Well, she said an inventory of all materials that were seized at Mar-a-Lago last month would be unsealed. That came - it was approved by both sides. She also said a status report by the investigation team could be unsealed. But there's another status report that's being done by Justice Department staff who are reviewing this potentially privileged material. They have a report out, too. And the judge said that would not be unsealed at this time. That's because both the government and Trump's team feel that it has sensitive information, and they want it to remain sealed right now.
SHAPIRO: That is NPR's Greg Allen reporting from West Palm Beach, Fla. Thank you.
ALLEN: You're welcome.

LANSING — Tax credits are not just for tax season. The Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) is encouraging low- to moderate-income residents across the state to apply for the Home Heating Credit before the deadline of Sept. 30.
Each year, the Home Heating Credit is available to Michigan residents. This year there is $120 million allocated to provide qualified homeowners and renters in Michigan with heating assistance through the Home Heating Credit. This amount is significantly higher than previous years due to an additional $70 million in funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
“The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) wants to increase access to and usage of the Home Heating Credit program,” said MDHHS Director Elizabeth Hertel. “We are working with CEDAM to help get the word out to residents who need help keeping their heat turned on ahead of the fall and winter months.”
CEDAM was awarded a $1 million grant earlier this year to increase access to the Home Heating Credit benefit and free tax preparation services, and, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, they are encouraging Michigan homeowners and renters to apply.
“Every family should be able to keep the heat on and stay warm and safe through our Michigan winters,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “I am proud of the work we have done to fund and expand the Home Heating Tax Credit, and I urge families to apply by September 30 so they can be ready for the fall and winter. This credit goes directly to qualified homeowners and renters in Michigan, lowering their costs and saving them money to pay other bills and put food on the table. I will work with anyone to offer families real relief, and I am grateful to the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan for their work in getting this done.”
Last year, the average household received $216 from the Home Heating Credit benefit to reduce their residential heating costs. Additionally, recipients of food assistance benefits that have received a Home Heating Credit of greater than $20, may be eligible for an increase in their benefits.
“Eligible individuals should not wait to apply for the Home Heating Credit with the September 30 deadline approaching,” said State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks. “This important tax credit can provide some relief as we enter into the fall heating season, leaving more money available for other critical needs.”
In order to qualify, residents must be a homeowner, or a renter with a contracted lease and meet income requirements. The best way to apply for the Home Heating Credit, and a number of other tax credits available to Michigan residents, is to book an appointment at a local free tax preparation site.
“There are over 70 locations across Michigan where residents can go to meet with trained, expert tax professionals at no cost,” said Matt Hetherwick, director of individual tax programs at Accounting Aid Society. “Everyone should file a tax return, even if they are not required to, because tax credits and benefits are waiting to be claimed.”
Free tax preparation is a community service designed to help Michigan residents improve their financial wellbeing. Residents who qualify for free tax preparation include those with disabilities, those with limited English-speaking ability and those who earn less than $58,000 per year. Tax preparation providers are trained volunteers who are experts in taxes and have an accuracy rate, on average, higher than their for-profit colleagues.
Residents can book an appointment at a free tax preparation site by locating their site or visiting MichiganFreeTaxHelp.org. Local human service nonprofits such as United Way 2-1-1 and Community Action Agencies can also refer residents to a free tax preparation site. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Michigan-residents-can-apply-for-Home-Heating-Tax-17408314.php | 2022-09-02T10:36:38Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Michigan-residents-can-apply-for-Home-Heating-Tax-17408314.php | false |

The word most frequently coming out of DL Hall’s mouth is “different,” because that’s the best way to describe his current situation. For as long as he can remember, since before high school, the left-hander has been a starting pitcher.
He had piggybacked a few outings before, but until August with Triple-A Norfolk, the Orioles’ fourth-ranked prospect had never taken the mound in the middle of an inning.
For a starter developing into a reliever for Baltimore’s September playoff push, that was one of the main hurdles for Hall to overcome. More than just the idea behind being a reliever, the 23-year-old had to rapidly learn the secrets of getting warm in a hurry, how to handle inheriting base runners and how to let it all ride in the one or two innings he’ll be on the mound.
The last one was the easiest. Hall doesn’t mind an opportunity to let his 100 mph fastball play if given the opportunity.
But in his four appearances in relief for the Tides — four opportunities to get comfortable out of the bullpen on the fly — Hall learned what works for him. And now as a September call-up for the Orioles, Hall can breathe fresh life into a bullpen that has thrown the eight-most innings of any group in the majors this season.
“It’s different,” Hall said, leaning on that word again. “Everybody has their own ways of getting ready. For me, just because I am new to it, I’ve kind of figured out I’m a guy, if I know I’m hot or have a chance of pitching, I’m going to be moving around the whole game. Every other inning I’m doing something.”
Even during Baltimore’s 3-0 win against Cleveland Guardians on Thursday night at Progressive Field, Hall couldn’t spend all nine innings doing nothing. He paced around the bullpen periodically and stretched, keeping himself loose for whenever he gets the call.
He’ll see some of his fellow relievers get ready, using a band to stretch then “start ripping fastballs,” Hall said. “But with me getting used to it, I’ve just been kind of using the whole game to stay loose and if my name’s called, then I’m ready. And if not, then I just got a little loose.”
The last month for Hall has featured a major league debut and a sudden change of direction. He started against the Tampa Bay Rays, allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings, and was optioned immediately after the game to learn how to pitch in the bullpen.
Hall says he took it in stride. In his four appearances with Norfolk, he allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings. Hall pointed out pitching in relief is a way to keep his innings down this season, which is a focus after he suffered a stress reaction in his left elbow after just 31 2/3 innings in 2021.
“They have a plan, and I trust in it,” Hall said moments after learning he was optioned Aug. 13. “I’m going to go down and work on what I need to work on, and hopefully come back and prove I belong to be here.”
Hall is here now, where he’ll pitch as part of a bullpen that has been outstanding this season. The group’s 3.16 ERA entering Thursday is the fourth-best mark in the majors, even after closer Jorge López was traded to the Minnesota Twins at the deadline.
Daily Top Stories
An August ERA of 3.71 ranks 16th in baseball, however, and with one fewer late-inning arm, other relievers have shifted into new roles. That includes Joey Krehbiel and Bryan Baker, who saw their August ERAs balloon to 5.79 and 4.50, respectively.
As part of a postseason push in September, there are few low-leverage situations for relievers. Still, Hall could slide into a late-inning role, giving the Orioles an arm with a four-pitch repertoire and a fastball-slider combination that is imposing when Hall can command them. The bullpen could also welcome right-hander Tyler Wells at some point soon from an oblique strain.
Gearing up for a relief appearance changes Hall’s approach, too. For a normal start, Hall works through his four-seamer, slider, curveball and changeup. But as he tries to warm rapidly in the bullpen, Hall primarily throws his heater.
He’ll lean on his fastball and slider if he knows he’ll face two left-handed hitters. Hall might still throw one or two curveballs or changeups just in case, but he focuses on what he knows “I’m coming in to use.”
“We talked about it with him [Wednesday] about just being as aggressive as he possibly can for the time that he’s out there,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “He doesn’t need to worry about staying out there anymore, you don’t have to worry about monitoring your pitch count and those types of things. It’s about going to get the three hitters out this inning, and then we’ll go from there.”
This isn’t where Hall envisions himself. Going into spring training next season, he said he’ll be fighting for a place in the rotation.
But Hall also understands a bullpen role is what is required of him right now. And when he gets out there, he won’t hold back. Even if it is different. | https://www.capitalgazette.com/sports/bs-sp-orioles-dl-hall-adapts-reliever-bullpen-20220902-ixfrgrqsyvdxlcccs47jrdajbu-story.html | 2022-09-02T10:45:40Z | https://www.capitalgazette.com/sports/bs-sp-orioles-dl-hall-adapts-reliever-bullpen-20220902-ixfrgrqsyvdxlcccs47jrdajbu-story.html | false |
Norway to extend life of its last Arctic coal mine to meet demand
OSLO, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Norway's state-owned coal company will extend production at its last mine in the Arctic Svalbard archipelago by two years until mid-2025 to help ensure supplies to European steel-makers at a time of war, the government said on Friday.
The decision reverses a plan to shut the mine next year when the local coal-fired power station is set to close as the islands switch to less-polluting fuel.
"There is war and significant uncertainty regarding access to critically important raw materials, including for Europe's steel production on which we also depend," Norwegian Industry Minister Jan Christian Vestre said in a statement.
"Norway must take its part of the responsibility for the security of supply of commodities," he said.
Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what it called a "special operation" to demilitarise and "denazify" its neighbour.
While Store Norske Spitsbergen Kullkompani (SNSK) has shut its major mines in the islands over the past two decades, it has kept the smaller Mine 7 open to produce some 125,000 tonnes per year to supply the local plant and ensure some exports.
Environmentalists have for many years called for an end to Norway's coal extraction.
The Arctic islands are warming faster than almost anywhere on Earth, highlighting the risks to fragile ecosystems from climate change, and Norway aims to cut its overall emissions, although it also remains a major oil and gas producer.
Located around 700 km (435 miles) north of the European mainland, Svalbard is governed under a 1920 treaty giving Norway sovereignty but allowing all nations signing it to do business there and to exploit its natural resources.

When news hit that Mikhail Gorbachev had died at age 91, Associated Press journalists around the world began sharing their “Gorby” stories from covering the last Soviet leader or interviewing him in Russia or abroad in the three decades that followed. They remember his temper and sense of humor, his sharp intellect even in his later years, when he was willing to talk at length about his hopes and his regrets.
That is if you could follow his long, rambling sentences in his southern Russian accent and his annoying tendency to refer to himself in the third person. For some of them, though, it was the warmth of an aging Gorbachev that they remember. The shared tea, the arm around the shoulder. Gorbachev was a man who changed the world, and the AP was there.
___
Gorbachev came to power in 1985 with no less of a goal than to transform the Soviet Union and the lives of his fellow citizens, many still desperately poor. The obstacles he faced were monumental.
For AP correspondents in Moscow at the time, “it was like covering sports,” remembers Andrew Katell. “What was the score? Was the development we were reporting good or bad for Gorbachev, a win or a loss?”
It was hard for reporters in Moscow to get close enough to Gorbachev to ask those questions. When he traveled abroad, however, he was usually eager to press the flesh and talk to the press. So, when Katell was covering Gorbachev’s official trip to Madrid in 1989, he thought his chance had come.
He raised his hand repeatedly at a news conference, but was ignored. Afterward, he rushed the stage and asked the Soviet leader if he could ask one more question. Gorbachev “smiled, said nothing, extended his hand for a shake, then walked away.”
AP correspondent Brian Friedman also got the Gorbachev treatment. In summer 1992, less than a year after the Soviet Union disintegrated, Friedman trailed him as he left the Fourth of July party at the U.S. ambassador’s residence. Shorn of his security detail and big limousine, Gorbachev was carrying his suit coat over his shoulder as he walked back to a simple Volga sedan.
“I tried to politely ask him a question about the upcoming court case the following week over the legacy of the banned Communist Party. I then extended my tape recorder to get his response,” Friedman said. “Gorbachev, the former president of the USSR, looked at me, looked at my tape recorder and said, ‘This we don’t need!’ and knocked my recorder out of my hand to the ground. He then stormed off.”
Friedman had seen a more amiable, if wistful, Gorbachev at a going-away party for his staff on Dec. 26, 1991, the day after his nationally televised address in which he announced his resignation as president.
“He held a small glass of lemon-flavored vodka. Known in his career as a teetotaler and for his anti-alcohol campaigns, Gorbachev said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘You think I can’t do it? Now I can afford to!’ And he then gulped it down.”
It was mostly the amiable Gorbachev who greeted correspondents in his years out of power.
In the early 1990s, he sent out a press release inviting journalists to a news conference at the airport before he embarked on one of his many international speaking tours. Larry Ryckman remembers that most everyone in the AP’s Moscow bureau rolled their eyes, busy with covering the emergence of a new chaotic Russia. But he was game and headed out to the airport. He was one of only a couple of journalists.
“Gorbachev’s wife, Raisa, gave me a look that seemed to be a mix of gratitude that I had bothered to show up and embarrassment at the pitiful turnout,” Ryckman said. “We ended up sitting around a small table in the airport lounge chatting for a few minutes — with just Gorbachev, his wife and a couple of aides. He didn’t end up saying anything particularly newsworthy, but it’s one of my favorite memories from my time in Moscow.”
During the next few years, Gorbachev built his foundation, a think tank designed to defend his legacy, and he toured the world, often drawing huge enthusiastic crowds. At home he struggled to stay relevant.
For journalists working in Moscow, Gorbachev was of interest mainly as the anniversaries of the 1991 pivotal events rolled around. But even in August 1996, only five years after a failed coup mounted by a group of communist hardliners, the AP story quoted only two sentences from an interview with him.
“These five years have proved all that I said — that the breakup of the Soviet Union would bring grave calamity for Russia and all the other republics,” Gorbachev said. “I find myself in the role of a Cassandra.”
His long-shot, comeback candidacy for the presidency had been crushed earlier that year. Julia Rubin, who interviewed him then, remembers him as genial and friendly, joking with the AP’s television camera operators about getting the angles right. But he was also a little testy about being sidelined politically. “He had strong opinions and still wanted to be part of the conversation” about where the countries of the former Soviet Union were headed.
He also wanted his voice heard on the dangers posed by the steadily deteriorating relations between Russia and the U.S.
When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, Russians called him the American Gorbachev because of his promises to bring change. Interested to hear what the real Gorbachev had to say, the AP sat down with him one evening at his foundation. And, yes, he agreed that America was ready for its own perestroika.
What interested him more was whether Obama would “muster his courage” to ease tensions with the Kremlin. Gorbachev was proud of his part in bringing an end to the Cold War and the nuclear arms race, and wanted that legacy preserved. At the end of the interview, Lynn Berry remembers that he mused about the possibility of a feature film to tell his story to coming generations. Perhaps he could be played by Leonardo DiCaprio?
“When we posed for a photograph before leaving, Gorbachev linked his arm around mine,” Berry said. “It was awkward and the picture shows my arm hanging limply by my side. Later, though, I really wished I had returned the kind gesture.”
While largely ignored in Russia, Gorbachev remained a figure of historical importance to the rest of the world. When he traveled to Berlin in 2011, David Rising leapt at the opportunity to interview him.
Gorbachev, then 80, talked animatedly about the Arab Spring demonstrations in Egypt following the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. In a break with the Kremlin, he said the demonstrations seeking democratic reforms in Egypt and across the region were of “vital importance.” At the same time, he lamented the backsliding of democracy in his own country under Vladimir Putin.
“As genial as he was thoughtful, after our formal interview was over Gorbachev seemed in no hurry to wrap up, putting his arm warmly over my shoulder and continued to share his thoughts on the end of the Cold War and the current state of democracy in Russia,” Rising said.
Rising was struck that he was speaking to the last Soviet leader in an office in former East Berlin not far from where President Ronald Reagan in 1987 stood on the other side of the Berlin Wall and implored him to “tear down this wall.”
“The privilege of talking with the man whose policies of perestroika and glasnost helped lead to the fall of that wall only two years later is one I’ll never forget,” Rising said.
The AP caught up with Gorbachev again in February 2014 in the city of Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, where he was speaking at a conference. For Adam Schreck, as for Rising, this was a chance to talk to a man who had “earned a place solidly in the history books.”
The Moscow-friendly president of Ukraine had just been ousted after months of protests, which Gorbachev attributed to the president’s failure “to act democratically.” Over tea served with lemon in a darkened and ornate hotel room, Gorbachev shared his fears for Ukraine. He said the situation was “a real mess” and it was “important not to tear it apart.”
Schreck remembers thinking at the time that Gorbachev was hinting at something deeper, “that Ukraine’s future as an independent, democratic state might not be smooth. I’d return to those words on my way to Kyiv to cover the war earlier this year.”
Within days of the interview, Russia seized control of the Crimean Peninsula, helping lay the groundwork for the current conflict.
In December 2016, the 25th anniversary of the Soviet collapse, Gorbachev spoke bitterly of the West’s failure to provide vital aid in the 1990s, calling it a wasted chance to build a safer world. In a lengthy interview with the AP in Moscow, he made an urgent plea for Russia and the U.S. to work together. “Together, they could lead the world to a new path.”
By the time Russia invaded Ukraine in February of this year, Gorbachev’s health was too poor for him to tell the world what he thought. | https://who13.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-covering-gorbachev-ap-remembers-his-wit-wisdom-warmth/ | 2022-09-02T10:54:29Z | https://who13.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-covering-gorbachev-ap-remembers-his-wit-wisdom-warmth/ | false |

ST. GEORGE — A low-cost airline that initially announced nonstop service between St. George Regional Airport and Los Angeles, then changed course, says Southern Utah isn't completely off its radar.
A spokesperson for Avelo Airlines told St. George News there still are plans for it to expand to St. George. But when those plans take off is still in the air.
A little over a year ago, Avelo announced it would be starting up flights to and from the Los Angeles area at the St. George airport, with fares around $49 for flights to Hollywood Burbank Airport.
Just a month later, Avelo put those plans in a holding pattern.

Giggs, 48, had been on trial for four weeks but after more than 20 hours of deliberations, the Crown Court jury of seven women and four men failed to reach any verdicts. Giggs potentially faces a retrial. He had been charged with assault and use of coercive behavior against an ex-girlfriend. He had denied all of the charges.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas contacted at least two Wisconsin state lawmakers, including the chair of the Senate elections committee, urging them to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win in the tightly contested state, emails obtained Thursday by The Associated Press show.
Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, a conservative activist, also had sent messages to more than two dozen lawmakers in Arizona.
In her communications with lawmakers in both states, Thomas urged Republicans to choose their own slate of electors after the election, arguing that results giving Biden a victory in the states were marred by fraud. Despite numerous reviews, lawsuits and recounts , no widespread fraud calling into question the results has been discovered in either state.
The emails received at the exact same time on Nov. 9, 2020, by Wisconsin state Sen. Kathy Bernier and state Rep. Gary Tauchen were first reported Thursday by The Washington Post. The AP obtained the email from Bernier, and the watchdog group Documented posted the email Tauchen received.
The emails were sent at almost the exact same time as the ones Thomas sent to lawmakers in Arizona.
Thomas did not immediately respond to a request for comment, made to the court Thursday.
Bernier, in a telephone interview with the AP, said she did not recall receiving the email from Thomas, which was one of thousands her office and other Wisconsin lawmakers received around that time. The message was sent over the FreeRoots platform that allows for mass mailing of prewritten emails. Bernier said she had no contact with Thomas aside from receiving the email.
“Please stand strong in the face of political and media pressure,” Thomas wrote in the emails received by the Wisconsin lawmakers. “Please reflect on the awesome authority granted to you by our Constitution. And then please take action to ensure that a clean slate of Electors is chosen for our state.”
Thomas also asks the Wisconsin lawmakers to meet with her, either virtually or in person, “so I can learn more about what you are doing to ensure our state’s vote count is audited and our certification is clean.”
Bernier said Thursday that she didn’t fault Thomas for sending the message, which she doesn’t recall reading at the time.
“Ginni is not a constituent, so therefore not top priority to respond to,” Bernier said. “And so I am sure we did not respond to her.”
Bernier, who has been outspoken in saying there was no widespread voter fraud in Wisconsin’s election that Biden fairly won, said she had no issue with Thomas contacting her about the election.
“I don’t believe this is hair raising crazy stuff that everybody’s making it out to be,” she said of the Thomas email. “There were a lot of Republicans at the time that thought there was massive voter fraud. … I’m sure she would have preferred taking it back, especially after all of the evidence.”
Tauchen declined comment through a spokesperson.
Clarence Thomas was the only member of the Supreme Court who voted against the court’s order allowing the U.S. House committee investigating the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, to obtain Trump records that were held by the National Archives and Records Administration. The court voted in January to allow the committee to get the documents.
Ginni Thomas’s role in the plot to overturn the 2020 election won by Biden is being looked at by members of the House committee investigating the riot. The committee asked her in June to sit for an interview.

Fighting goes on near Ukraine nuclear plant; IAEA on site
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — Heavy fighting continued Friday near Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in a Russian-controlled area of eastern Ukraine, a day after experts from the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog agency voiced concerns about structural damage to the sprawling Zaporizhzhia site.
Britain’s Defense Ministry says shelling continued in the district where the Zaporizhzhia power plant sits. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office said Russian shelling damaged houses, gas pipelines and other infrastructure in the Nikopol region on the other bank of the Dnieper River.
The team of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, braving gunfire and artillery blasts along their route, crossed the frontlines to reach the Zaporizhzhia plant on Thursday in a mission to help safeguard the plant against catastrophe. Fighting Thursday prompted the shutdown of one reactor — underscoring the urgency of their task.
The 14-member delegation arrived in a convoy of SUVs and vans after months of negotiations to enable the experts to pass through the front lines. Speaking to reporters after leaving colleagues inside, IAEA director Rafael Grossi, said the agency was “not moving” from the plant from now on, and vowed Thursday a “continued presence” of agency experts.
Grossi said it was “obvious that the plant and the physical integrity of the plant has been violated several times” — but couldn’t assess whether by chance or on purpose. “I will continue to be worried about the plant until we have a situation which is more stable,” he said.
Grossi said IAEA experts toured the entire site, including control rooms, emergency systems and diesel generators, and met with the plant’s staff.
The plant has been occupied by Russian forces but run by Ukrainian engineers since the early days of the 6-month war. Ukraine alleges Russia is using it as a shield to launch attacks, while Moscow accuses Ukraine of recklessly firing on the area.
Before the IAEA team arrived, Energoatom, Ukraine’s state nuclear power company, said Russian mortar shelling had led to the shutdown of one of its reactors by its emergency protection system and had damaged a backup power supply line used for in-house needs.
IAEA announced plans for a news conference later Friday from its headquarters in Vienna to discuss the mission.
Energoatom on Friday accused Russian forces of “making every effort” to prevent the IAEA mission from getting to know the facts on the ground. On Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov said Russia was making sure that the plant was secure and safe, and that mission “accomplishes all of its plans there.”
Elsewhere in Ukraine on Friday, Zelenskyy’s office said four people were killed and 10 injured over the last day in the eastern Donetsk region, a key hub of the Russian invasion, and reported rocket attacks on Sloviansk that destroyed a kindergarten. It said heavy fighting continues in two districts of the Kherson region to the south.
