Iran sentences 2 women to death for ‘human trafficking’ violation
Iran has sentenced two women to death on charges of human trafficking, the country’s official IRNA news agency reported on Monday, a penalty that sparked widespread condemnation online.
Authorities accused the women — identified as Zahra Sedighi and Elham Chobdar — of “corruption on earth,” a term often used to describe attempts to undermine the Iranian government, saying they exploited young women.
However, foreign-based rights groups described the two women as local gay and lesbian rights activists.

Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was very likely unintentionally killed by an Israeli soldier, Israel’s military has concluded, finding it hadn’t been possible to “unequivocally determine” the cause of her death.
The final report by the Israel Defence Forces into the killing in May of the Al Jazeera television journalist found that no Israeli solider had opened fire “in a manner intended to harm the journalist,” the IDF said in a statement.
The military has decided not to open a criminal investigation into Abu Akleh’s death, it said.

Russia fired its latest salvo in an escalating sanctions row over President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, permanently banning 25 U.S. citizens, including actors Ben Stiller and Sean Penn, from entering the country.
The list, which also includes senators and analysts at think tanks, is “in response to the ever-expanding personal sanctions by the Biden Administration against Russian citizens,” the Foreign Ministry in Moscow said in a website statement.

The President of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says that the Black Stars have revenge on their minds as they prepare for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana has been placed in Group H alongside Portugal, Korea, and familiar foes Uruguay.
The Black Stars seemingly have some scores to settle with the South American side after events in 2010 in South Africa where Luis Suarez stopped a goal-bound header with his hands like a goalkeeper before Ghana subsequently missed the resultant penalty kick as they missed out on the semifinals.
"We have also had to wait for twelve (12) years to get revenge against Uruguay, and we assure them that, this time, the hand of Luis Suarez will not save them against the Ghana Black Stars.. They are going down!!"
The President made this known in a speech read on his behalf by the Chief of Staff, Frema Osei Opare at the Coca Cola FIFA World Cup trophy tour dinner in Accra.
The match was heading for extra time with the game tied at 1-1 with goals from Sulley Muntari and Diego Forlan for each side.
There was a corner for Ghana late in the game and after a series of headers, Dominic Adiyiah's header was heading into the net only for the cynical Luis Suarez to palm it away like a goalie.
A penalty was awarded and the Uruguayan striker sent off, up stepped Asamoah Gyan who had earlier in the tourney scored a penalty against Australia but this time he could only smash the upright despite sending Fernando Muslera the wrong way.

Ozzy Osbourne, 73, is set to open the 2022 NFL season as he will take to the stage for a half-time performance during the LA Rams game... months after 'life-altering surgery'
- The rocker, 73, will take to the stage to perform a multi-song medley during half time
- It comes just months after he underwent a 'life-altering' surgery back in June
- He returned to the stage last month with a performance at the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony
Ozzy Osbourne is set to kick off this year's NFL season on Thursday with a half-time performance during the Los Angeles Rams v Buffalo Bills game.
The rocker, 73, will perform at the opening game in his first US performance in four years, just months after undergoing a 'life-altering surgery' back in June.
It comes after his return to the stage last month, as he performed at the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony, held at Alexander Stadium in his home city of Birmingham.
Game entertainment: Ozzy Osbourne, 73, is set to open the 2022 NFL season as he will take to the stage for a half-time performance during the LA Rams game
Held at California's SoFi Stadium, the musician will perform a multi-song medley during the appearance.
The US football season will begin with Thursday's NFL Kickoff Game, before coming to an end in early 2023.
The Los Angeles Rams announced the half-time performance via Twitter, as they wrote: 'Ready to rock for Thursday night football'.
And fans were quick to display their excitement for the performance, as one wrote: 'LA loves Ozzy!!!!' while another penned: 'true legend'.

Thursday night lights? The LA Rams announced the half-time performance via Twitter, as they wrote: 'Ready to rock for Thursday night football'
Ozzy's performance will preface the release of his new album, Patient Number 9, which is slated for release just a day later.
The new album will feature appearances from Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Chad Smith, Metallica's Robert Trujillo, and the Foo Fighters' late Taylor Hawkins.
While he is also set to return to TV screens alongside his wife Sharon in a new 10-part reality series called Home to Roost - which focuses on their journey back to the UK.
Fans: Twitter users were quick to display their excitement for the performance, as one wrote: 'LA loves Ozzy!!!!' while another penned: 'true legend'
Last month, Ozzy, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, performed on stage in the UK for the first time since receiving surgery in June.
He was discharged from a Los Angeles hospital in June after undergoing what Sharon called 'a major operation' that would 'determine the rest of his life'.
Along with Parkinson's and a bout of Covid, Ozzy has been dealing with the fallout from a brutal 2003 quad biking accident.
He suffered neck injuries, which were later worsened by a 2019 fall that resulted in 15 screws being inserted into his back.
Family:Ozzy is also set to return to TV screens alongside his wife Sharon in a new 10-part reality series called Home to Roost - which focuses on their journey back to the UK
Prior to the appearance, the rocker hadn't performed since November 28 2020 in Germany due to being in recovery.
The performance brought an end to Commonwealth a games which saw Australia come top of the medal leaderboard, while second-placed England had its most successful games ever.
And from marking an end to one games and the beginning of another season, the star appears to be getting back into full swing.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at Comic-Con in San Diego, he said of his health: 'I like to see people, you know. That's been the hardest thing of the past three years, because I've been trying to recover from my surgery.'
Revealing he is on the mend, he added: 'I'm getting there. It's a slow climb back, you know?'
Sweet: His supportive wife Sharon was also in attendance at the Commonwealth Games
Grateful: Sharon, 69, shared a message to her Twitter account the day after the surgery to thank her fans for sending their best wishes to the singer | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11183209/Ozzy-Osbourne-73-set-open-2022-NFL-season-half-time-performance.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-06T00:09:04Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11183209/Ozzy-Osbourne-73-set-open-2022-NFL-season-half-time-performance.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Good beach and running weather at Jersey Shore on Labor Day
OCEAN CITY, N.J. - What better way to wrap up the last long weekend of summer than racing to the finish line on a beach in New Jersey?
Good weather held up long enough on Monday for beach goers and runners in Ocean City. The sun shined down on them as they crossed a finish line in an annual Labor Day race.
Aquatic and Fitness Center supervisor Lisa Rumer, who helped organize the race, said she expected it to be a perfect running day.
It's kind of that bittersweet feel to the end of Labor Day," Rumer said. "We're out here raising money for recreation scholarships and programs for Ocean City and excited to be presenting this race year after year."
Some kids said they were running towards a special sweet treat: doughnuts.
Thankfully, beach goers had a clear morning. Heavy rain was forecast for parts of New Jersey on Monday afternoon and evening.
The race is held rain or shine. However, in 2016, Hermine, which made landfall as a hurricane in Florida, made its way to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast as a post-tropical storm, forcing the race's cancelation. | https://www.fox29.com/news/ocean-city-nj-good-beach-running-weather | 2022-09-06T00:16:36Z | https://www.fox29.com/news/ocean-city-nj-good-beach-running-weather | true |

SYDNEY, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Health analytics pioneer, Prospection has announced a unique global data access agreement with leading Japanese medical data company Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd. (MDV) to accelerate healthcare analytics globally.
The agreement, covering the world's second largest pharmaceutical market, will provide global pharmaceutical companies and researchers access to comprehensive and longitudinal data covering more than 40 million people in Japan at more than 470 hospitals.
Combining predictive analytics and machine learning with real-world healthcare data, Prospection's agreement with MDV will provide pharmaceutical companies across the world with unique access to patient diagnostic and medication data from hospitals across Japan, unlocking potential to assess an unlimited number of treatment programs in the region.
The agreement also enables access to patient history and prefecture level data, allowing analysis of disease progression, disease outcomes and the mapping of disease courses to provide evidence on areas where development can address unmet needs. When distilled further, this creates an opportunity to assess patient data on a regional level to find geographical areas where patients or health centres require additional support for specific disease and conditions.
Prospection's access to Japan's most comprehensive medical data sets is a significant milestone for the company. Prospection currently provides real-time access to longitudinal patient data across 15 regions globally including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, USA and the UK. The company's latest announcement with Medical Data Vision will build on this work, providing Prospection with access to one of Japan's largest healthcare databases.
Global Healthcare Benefits
According to academic research,* only 60% of healthcare is in line with evidence-based guidelines, with the remaining 40% being classed as wasteful, low value or in some cases harmful. Through the analysis of the longitudinal history of hundreds of millions of patients, Prospection's database can help the healthcare industry to assess the use, value and outcomes of treatments to find that 40% and identify how it can be optimised.
By enabling pharmaceutical companies and health researchers across the globe to better understand the full cycle of health conditions and disease journeys, this data will allow global life science companies to:
1. Collect patient and market insights
Through the analysis of specific health conditions and patient journeys, pharmaceutical companies can determine where, when and how to invest their resources and how to position their brand within the Japanese pharmaceutical market while forecasting supply chain, and developing models for market access.
2. Find patients and develop tactical plans
Life science companies can utilise the data to identify where patients with the highest disease burden for their treatment offerings are being treated geographically. Companies can then deploy their regional in-field teams with the right messages to support clinicians to help these patients requiring treatment.
3. Publish data
Access to one of the most comprehensive Japanese medical data sets also creates an opportunity to add to the clinical body of evidence for health conditions to help inform a better understanding of specific diseases.
4. Receive decision support
Provide healthcare providers with trigger events to assist with targeted education when it is needed most, supporting clinician at point of care with the patient.
Kaoru Sato, Country Manager, Prospection, Japan, said:
"We are delighted to announce our latest agreement with Medical Data Vision. This partnership demonstrates a shared commitment to improving patient outcomes and marks a significant milestone in Prospection's mission to deliver real community benefits to patients across the globe.
"As one of the largest pharmaceutical markets in the world, Japan has incredibly rich datasets. Working with Medical Data Vision gives us the opportunity to access a dataset of approximately 40 million patients, creating a unique opportunity to use advanced analytic tools to accelerate precision medicine to enable the right patient to receive the right treatment at the right time in their journey.
"The outcomes of this partnership will play a key role in understanding the full cycle of patient health conditions and disease journeys in areas including immuno-oncology, immune disorders, cardiovascular and metabolic conditions allowing researchers and pharmaceutical companies globally to better understand the different patient characteristics, treatments and respective outcomes."
Eric Chung, CEO and Co-founder, Prospection said:
"We are very excited to be working with MDV in our latest data access agreement. Combining MDV's large and comprehensive dataset with Prospections global reach and extensive expertise working with datasets across the world will not only allow MNC pharmaceutical companies to work with patient data from Japan, but will also open a broader understanding of different health conditions across the world. This agreement brings us one step closer to enhancing precision medicine to find the 40% of patients that can be optimised."

Nebraska looking to build momentum, hosts Georgia Southern
Teams led by coaches with plenty of experience operating on the hot seat meet Saturday in Lincoln, Neb., when Nebraska hosts Georgia Southern in a nonconference game.
Nebraska coach Scott Frost is high on most lists of college football coaches likely to be fired this season, a spot solidified when his Cornhuskers opened the season by blowing a two-score lead and a loss to Big Ten foe Northwestern. The Huskers evened their record at 1-1 last week with a 38-17 home win over North Dakota, though the game was tied at 17 in the third quarter.
"Looking back on the game I thought there was a lot of good things we could take from it," Frost said. "Usually when you watch tape nothing's as good as you think or as bad as you think. It's been a process to get everyone on the same page."
Georgia Southern opened its season with a 59-7 home win over Morgan State, making for a solid debut under new coach Clay Helton. Helton was hired by the Eagles last November after he was fired by USC two games into his seventh season as head coach.
Helton's USC tenure involved several seasons on the rumor mill as the Trojans never achieved the national heights expected at USC -- much like Frost's experience at Nebraska.
Following their season-opening pratfall, the Cornhuskers rushed for 244 yards and three touchdowns against North Dakota, more than doubling their ground production from the first game. Junior Anthony Grant ran for 189 yards and two scores, earning Big Ten Offensive Co-Player of the Week honors.
Georgia Southern got 367 passing yards and four TD passes from quarterback Kyle Vantrease, a 6th-year senior transfer from Buffalo who tied the school record for TDs and had the Eagles' first 300-yard passing game since 2008.
Picked to finish fifth in the Sun Belt's East Division, Georgia Southern is 0-2 all-time against the Big Ten with losses at Indiana (2017) and Minnesota (2019). The Eagles are 2-30 against current power-conference teams, the last win coming at Florida in 2013 when they were still at the FCS level.
Nebraska is 15-2 against Sun Belt schools, most recently losing at home to Troy in 2018 -- Frost's first season, when the Cornhuskers started 0-6. Nebraska is now 16-30 under Frost.

Alabaster’s new Amphitheatre coming soon
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The City of Alabaster is working to get back to a time where live events and entertainment were at the center of the city.
Architect Turner Batson has built city hall and the senior center, and now he has a new job from the city: a new amphitheater.
Alabaster’s new amphitheater is the final piece to the project that has been years in the making.
The new venue will fill in the four acres of green space in between city hall and the senior center.
Brian Binzer with the city said they have been talking about this project for a long time.
“Having concerts in fact we have hosted jazz in the park, we have a number of jubilees going to be there this year, this October,” Binzer said. “We are excited about that. Maybe in the future adding summer concerts and some more flavor to our downtown.”
the space will include a stage with tiered seating levels, a green room and a loading and unloading area.
“We do what’s called the lighting of the water tower, the last couple of years we have done that we have had choirs from our schools, we’ve had Kingwood Church does a play called Scrooge,” Binzer said. “A lot of entertainment type things but we had to bring a stage in.”
The project has been included in the council’s 2023 budget and is estimated to cost a little over a million dollars.
Construction is set to start next summer.

MOSCOW (AP) — The number of people who died in an accident while climbing Eurasia’s tallest active volcano has risen to eight, Russian authorities said Monday.
A helicopter with a rescue team was on the way to the site of the accident, emergency officials said.
Russian media initially reported on Saturday that five climbers died while trying to ascend to the top of the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano in Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka peninsula. The accident occurred about 500 meters below the 4,750-meter (15,884-foot) summit, the reports cited the prosecutor’s office of the Kamchatka region as saying.
All the climbers were Russians, the reports said.
Four people survived the accident and are waiting for the rescuers at different altitudes.
The Kamchatka peninsula in Russia’s far northeast is noted for its array of active and dormant volcanos, hot springs and abundant wildlife. | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/ap-russian-volcano-climb-death-toll-rises-to-8/ | 2022-09-06T00:44:02Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/ap-russian-volcano-climb-death-toll-rises-to-8/ | true |
HBO Max is absolutely stuffed with sci-fi movies, from the classics to recent blockbusters to underrated bangers more people need to watch. Try little Spanish gem Timecrimes, Moon (starring Sam Rockwell) or Monsters (directed by Gareth Edwards).
Thanks to the recent Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, HBO Max has seen a few casualties, including the removals of Moonshot, Superintelligence, 2020's The Witches, An American Pickle, Locked Down and Charm City Kings. Thankfully, none of those are worthwhile sci-fi flicks. Here's everything you need to know about the merger.
Scroll down for the extensive options available on HBO Max.
The Fly (1986)
An '80s classic, The Fly is a remake of the 1958 film of the same name, just with added gore and Jeff Goldblum. The David Cronenberg film has become a classic in its own right.
The Dead Zone (1983)
A David Cronenberg sci-fi thriller based on a Stephen King novel -- what more do you need to entice you to watch The Dead Zone? A plot, maybe? Christopher Walken stars as a school teacher who awakens from a coma to discover he has psychic powers. What he uses them for: Preventing a certain politician from becoming president. Yes, The Dead Zone is an '80s horror referenced by Stranger Things. It's also one of the better Stephen King adaptations out there.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
"Alexa, play 2001: A Space Odyssey."
Reminiscence (2021)
This sci-fi mystery from one half of the duo that created Westworld (Lisa Joy) is pure mind boggle, but the interesting ideas are worth a gander. Reminiscence follows Hugh Jackman's Nick Bannister, who uses a machine that can see into people's memories.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
The best Terminator movie? Make your judgment by watching The Terminator sequel.
The Butterfly Effect (2004)
An enjoyable B-movie, The Butterfly Effect sees college student Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) tinker with the past and discover how each change affects the present.
Stalker (1979)
Make it through Stalker's slow start and you'll be able to say you've watched an existential masterpiece of Russian cinema.
Solaris (1972)
Before Stalker, Andrei Tarkovsky made huge leaps for sci-fi cinema, with his complex, character-driven piece about astronauts having wild hallucinations that may or may not be real. The 2002 American remake of Solaris is also on HBO Max, with added George Clooney romance.
Cloverfield (2008)
Matt Reeves has gone on to big things since directing this slick found-footage monster morsel. See what he was up to before The Planet of the Apes movies and 2022's The Batman.
Moon (2009)
This immense low-budget sci-fi starring Sam Rockwell has everything. It has Sam Rockwell. A Clint Mansell score. A claustrophobic retro set and gorgeously moody moonscapes. Hard sci-fi ideas. The basic premise: A man coming to the end of a three-year solitary stint on the far side of the moon suffers a personal crisis. A must-watch.
I, Robot (2004)
A routine blockbuster for reliable entertainment.
Scanners (1981)
A warning for the body horror-averse before hitting play on this David Cronenberg sci-fi. Scanners follows people with special abilities, including telepathic and telekinetic powers. Not the first in this list to become a cult classic after a lukewarm initial response, Scanners left a lasting impression, not least because of a memorable scene involving a head explosion.
The Faculty (1998)
Robert Rodriguez isn't the most popular among Star Wars fans at the moment, mainly for making a character do a pointless ballerina twirl in the divisive The Book of Boba Fett finale. The Faculty, directed by Rodriguez, isn't great, but it isn't bad either, following teens who investigate mysterious happenings at their high school.
Super 8 (2011)
Basically Stranger Things set in the '70s. Super 8 follows a group of teens who are filming their own movie when a train derails and a dangerous presence begins stalking their town.
Dune (2021)
Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi blockbuster is back on HBO Max. The epic based on Frank Herbert's novel recently scored a host of Oscars, including best original score and cinematography. Catch the sprawling story of the Atreides family, who find themselves at war on the deadly planet Arrakis. Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Zendaya and more stack out a hugely impressive ensemble cast.
Westworld (1973)
With the latest season of HBO's Westworld currently airing on TV, you may as well go back and watch its source material, if you haven't already. The premise is pretty much the same as the series: An adult amusement park transports visitors to themed worlds, including a Western World. James Brolin plays one of the characters, among the creepy humanoid androids. An excellent sci-fi thriller that's much easier to understand than the series it spawned.
Ex Machina (2014)
One of the best Alex Garland films featuring one of the best robot dance scenes.
Under the Skin (2013)
Prepare to be both deeply unsettled and riveted by this unique sci-fi horror. Scarlett Johansson plays an alien roaming the streets of Scotland, preying on unsuspecting men. With amateur actors, unscripted sequences shot with hidden cameras and a lens capturing the alien's perspective, this mesmerizing flick is unique in more ways than one.
Jurassic Park (1993)
A new Jurassic Park movie is headed to theaters this year, so catch up on the (superior) original now. 1993's Jurassic Park kicked off the franchise, based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. Spoiler: Original cast members Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum are set to make a return in the upcoming 2022 flick.
Pacific Rim (2013)
Its sequel didn't reach the same lofty heights, so watch the first monster epic in the Pacific Rim franchise. 2013's Pacific Rim is helmed by Guillermo Del Toro, so expect a strong brush of visual artistry over the monster mayhem.
Timecrimes (2007)
This truly mind-bending Spanish sci-fi is a wild card to take a chance on if you're in the mood. Featuring all the trimmings of a low-budget thriller, Timecrimes follows a middle-aged man who finds himself stuck in a time loop. A stream of twists will keep you on your toes.
Source Code (2011)
This smart, tightly packaged sci-fi thriller might have a slightly preposterous setup, but its gripping storytelling quickly shuts off your cynicism. Jake Gyllenhaal is Captain Colter Stevens, an ex-army pilot who wakes up on a train in the body of another man. If you haven't seen Source Code yet, it's best to let it carry you along its exhilarating ride, careening down many twists and turns toward a satisfying, emotionally impactful final destination.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Roland Emmerich, "master of disaster," presents The Day After Tomorrow. The director also made this year's Moonfall, in which the moon falls out of its orbit on a collision course with Earth. You already know what kind of fun this movie is going to be.
Oblivion (2013)
Oblivion came out of the build-a-sci-fi-movie workshop. Starring Tom Cruise, it follows humans at war with aliens, paying homage to '70s sci-fi films including The Omega Man and Silent Running. A love letter in the form of a half-decent sci-fi action adventure.
Monsters (2010)
This solid British sci-fi comes from Gareth Edwards, who went on to direct Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and 2014's Godzilla. His mastery of atmosphere, wonder and beauty is on show here, all on a shoestring budget. Monsters follows a couple attempting to cross an "Infected Zone" teeming with giant tentacled monsters.
The Matrix (1999)
If you haven't seen The Matrix, and somehow don't know its major plot points, well done for avoiding spoilers for 23 years. The sequels Reloaded, Revolutions and Resurrections are also on HBO Max.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Watch two and a half hours of atmospheric, sumptuous spectacle, but don't expect any conclusions to the question posed by the original Blade Runner: Is Rick Deckard a replicant?
Colossal (2016)
Colossal might look like a romantic comedy on the surface, but it has surprisingly dark layers underneath. This black comedy stars Anne Hathaway as an alcoholic out-of-work journalist who moves back home to New Hampshire after her suave British boyfriend (Dan Stevens) dumps her. What happens next is both hugely unexpected and a massive metaphor: She discovers she has a connection with a colossal Kaiju monster destroying Seoul, in South Korea. Yes, Colossal has a ton of soul, a standout performance from Jason Sudeikis and an imaginative, at times thrilling story.
Tenet (2020)
Love it or hate it -- get it or find its "science" baffling -- Tenet is eye-popping entertainment. Best advice: Don't question Tenet, submit to the Tenet experience.
Inception (2010)
The superior Christopher Nolan movie on this list. | https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/the-best-sci-fi-movies-to-catch-on-hbo-max-now/ | 2022-09-06T00:44:17Z | https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/the-best-sci-fi-movies-to-catch-on-hbo-max-now/ | true |
SHANGHAI, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For thousands of years, the Great Wall has guarded the Chinese territory and the homeland of the Chinese people. On September 3, in a rolling, lush alpine grassland, a string of moving poems composed by little poets living in the mountainous areas made a magnificent "Great Wall of Poetry", which helps protect the spiritual homeland of these children as well as the common spiritual world for everyone.
This is a special public welfare program called "The Great Wall of Poetry -- Let the Undiscovered Literary Talents of Children in the Mountainous areas Shine" launched by this year's Poetry POS campaign launched by China UnionPay, the country's top bank card organization. Via livestreaming, the program seeks to display the talents of children in the mountainous areas to the world.
Two representatives of the little poets came to the event site and recited their poems in a grassland surrounded by mountains in Zherong County, Ningde City of southeast China's Fujian Province. Their voices echoed in the mountains, leaving the poetic feel flow along the "Great Wall of Poetry". There were also some local intangible heritage performances, which turned this public welfare livestreaming into a cultural feast. In the online livestreaming platform of Xinhua News Agency's English app, more than 10 million viewers shared this poetic spectacle.
It is worth mentioning that the warm-up of this event has also attracted the attention and support of many famous people at home and abroad. Jake Pinnick, an American who has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, Robert Adolf, a German who loves Chinese cuisine, Cai Zi, a well-known host, Xiaolin, a painter, and Pan Jiangxue, a pioneer in poverty alleviation, read these children's poems earnestly in recognition and support of this special public welfare program.
At the event, people got a POS receipt printed with poems by donating one yuan at the UnionPay Poetry POS, and all proceeds will be donated to the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation.
China UnionPay Poetry POS campaign was officially launched in July 2019. Over the past four years, the donations raised have been used in Anhui, Henan, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Yunnan and other regions, helping nearly 5,000 children enjoy artistic literacy lessons.

Leading up to Labor Day, many pro-union groups and politicians claimed American support for labor unions has recently reached historic highs.
That’s true, per a newly-released Gallup poll, which showed 71 percent of respondents approve of unions. The number hasn’t been that high since 1965.
On Labor Day, President Joe Biden pointed to the rising support and called it “a key way we’re rebuilding the economy… to grow from the bottom up and the middle out.”
But has that rise in popularity sparked any rise in actual union membership?
THE QUESTION
Has increased support for unions translated into an increase in union membership?
THE SOURCES
Nelson Lichtenstein, Director of Center for the Study of Work, Labor, and Democracy at University of California, Santa Barbara
THE ANSWER
No. Although support for unions is rising, the percentage of Americans in unions remains at historic lows.
WHAT WE FOUND
Since 1983, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has tracked what percentage of American workers are members of a union.
The first year that number was measured, it stood at 20.1 percent. It has steadily declined nearly every year since, and fell to an all-time low of 10.3 percent in 2021, the most recent year we have numbers for.
The rate did slightly increase in 2020, because when the COVID-19 pandemic prompted lockdowns and layoffs, those job cuts disproportionately affected non-union employees, whereas a higher percentage of unionized workers kept their jobs, according to the BLS. When the economic recovery began and non-union workers regained employment, the overall rate of unionized workers fell back down.
Harvard Business School also keeps data on union membership in countries around the world, since the late 19th century. Since their data goes back even further than the BLS data, we can see that the all-time peak for union membership was in the mid-1960s, when it exceeded 30 percent.
Like the BLS data, Harvard’s figures show the percentage of the workforce in a union has been steadily declining for decades, and has recently reached lows not seen since before World War II.
Rising support for unions coinciding with declining membership isn’t surprising to labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein.
“There is no... correlation between popular support for unionism and… actual growth of unions,” he told VERIFY.
Lichtenstein says in the mid-20th century economy, it was generally accepted that the preeminent industries of the time like automaking were almost entirely unionized. But over time, membership fell for a variety of reasons and now in some of today’s biggest industries like tech, there’s no cultural expectation of organized labor.
“In industries like auto, you had 100 percent unionization, practically,” he said. “Unionism naturally declines as a proportion of the workforce as new industries come to the fore, and as new techniques are created to kind of avoid unionization.”
The labor movement has worked to undo that trend by organizing workforces not ordinarily thought of as unionized, like Starbucks baristas. Amazon warehouse employees, too, have recently organized in some locations.
“I think it's partly a product of the pandemic, it's a product of a kind of thwarted career paths… I think the pandemic created a sense that managers had betrayed their workforce, whether it's health and safety, or they gave them a raise and then took it away,” said Lichtenstein. “[And now] you have a period, basically, of prosperity, and a tight labor market. So that gives courage to workers.”
But whether that’s a sign that the overall decline in union membership may soon reverse for the long haul, or whether it’s merely isolated incidents spawning from pandemic-related conditions, remains to be seen. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/verify/national-verify/support-for-labor-unions-has-increased-but-union-membership-is-at-an-all-time-low/536-4af1c0e5-9069-4c2b-bdb3-af9dbf8cd977 | 2022-09-06T00:48:50Z | https://www.king5.com/article/news/verify/national-verify/support-for-labor-unions-has-increased-but-union-membership-is-at-an-all-time-low/536-4af1c0e5-9069-4c2b-bdb3-af9dbf8cd977 | false |

A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck China’s Sichuan province on Monday, the strongest to hit the region since 2017, killing more than 30 people and shaking the provincial capital of Chengdu and more distant provinces.
Some roads and homes near the epicentre were damaged by landslides, while communications were down in at least one area, state television reported.
No damage to dams and hydropower stations within 50 kilometres of the epicentre was reported, although damage to the provincial grid had affected power to about 40,000 end-users.
The epicentre was at the town of Luding, the China Earthquake Networks Centre said, in the mountains about 226km southwest of Chengdu.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he was deeply saddened by the lives lost in the earthquake.
“We offer our profound condolences and most sincere sympathies to the bereaved families and stand by the government and people of China in this tragedy,” he said.
Earthquakes are common in the southwestern province of Sichuan, especially in its mountains in the west, a tectonically active area along the eastern boundary of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau.
Laura Luo, who lives in Chengdu, a city of about 21 million people, was on her way to her apartment block when she saw people rushing out of their high-rise homes in panic after getting earthquake warnings on their phones.
“There were many people who were so terrified they started crying,” Luo, a PR consultant, told Reuters.
“All the dogs started barking. It was really quite scary,” she said, referring to when the quake began.
In Luding, the quake was so strong it was hard for some people to remain standing, while cracks appeared on some houses, the China News Service reported.
Video clips on social media showed lights swinging while people rushed out of buildings into the streets.
Sichuan’s provincial government said more than 30 people had died. At least four of those were in Luding.
A total of 39,000 people live within 20km of the epicentre and 1.55m within 100km, according to state television.
The quake was Sichuan’s biggest since August 2017, when one of magnitude 7.0 hit the Aba prefecture.
The most powerful Sichuan earthquake on record was in May 2008, when a magnitude 8.0 quake centred in Wenchuan killed almost 70,000 people and caused extensive damage.
Monday’s quake was also felt in the provinces of Yunnan, Shaanxi and Guizhou hundreds of kilometres away, according to state media.
Chengdu resident Samantha Yang, 23, was in bed about to take a nap when the quake struck.
“The building kept shaking, each time more severely than before,” Yang said. “Truly, this was the scariest one since the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.” | https://www.dawn.com/news/1708576/68-magnitude-earthquake-in-chinas-sichuan-province-kills-over-30 | 2022-09-06T00:52:21Z | https://www.dawn.com/news/1708576/68-magnitude-earthquake-in-chinas-sichuan-province-kills-over-30 | false |

Backbench Boris is about to make a return - and he has form for causing trouble
Mr Johnson has consistently refused to rule out a comeback, no doubt flattered by a Sky News-YouGov Tory leadership poll which suggested nearly half of Conservative Party members want him back.
Tuesday 6 September 2022 02:15, UK
Get ready for backbench Boris.
After more than three years as prime minister, Mr Johnson heads for the backbenches, where he is expected to be defiant, stir up trouble and plot a Trump-style comeback.
He claims he will be loyal to his successor - and yet he's refusing to rule out a return.
"Mission largely accomplished - for now!" he declared at his final Prime Minister's Questions in July.
Top Tories, close allies and even an ex-girlfriend are all agreed that his resentment towards his assassins - as he sees them - means he will bide his time until he is ready to strike back.
Politics Hub: Boris Johnson 'may be tempted' to run again
And as he heads for the backbenches, the former prime minister is walking into an almighty row already, as the old wounds that led to his downfall are reopened.
The inquiry by the Privileges Committee into claims he lied to MPs over partygate and about groping allegations against former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher could lead to him being suspended or even being kicked out of the Commons.
A legal ruling by top QC Lord Pannick that the inquiry is "fundamentally flawed" has prompted demands from Johnson allies - who have condemned the probe as a "witch-hunt" and a "kangaroo court" - for the inquiry to be scrapped.
Liz Truss signalled during the Tory leadership campaign that she would vote to call it off, a move that would engulf her in a damaging cover-up and cronyism row. But there will be a furious battle over the inquiry as MPs return to Westminster after the summer recess.
On the backbenches, Mr Johnson will no doubt seek to defend his legacy and is tipped to speak out on causes he cares about, such as net zero, levelling up and Ukraine, where there are four streets - and a cake - named after him.
He's also joining on the backbenches another former Tory prime minister, Theresa May, whose demise he plotted with his Brexiteer allies after he resigned as foreign secretary in 2018.
Who will Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle call first in debates and ministerial statements? Parliament's rulebook Erskine May (no relation!) offers no guidance.
Mrs May, first elected in 1997, has been an MP longer, though Sir Lindsay might use his discretion to call Mr Johnson first on some issues, like Ukraine, for example.
Johnson has form for causing trouble on the backbenches
It is unusual but by no means unprecedented for there to be two former prime ministers on the green benches behind the current incumbent of 10 Downing Street. And the precedent of backbench back-seat drivers doesn't bode well.
While Harold Wilson and James Callaghan both sat on the Labour backbenches from 1979 until 1983, Sir Edward Heath's portly frame filled the corner seat below the gangway, just feet from the prime minister and the despatch box, for 27 years from his February 1974 general election defeat until he left parliament in 2001.
He was joined on the backbenches between 1990 and 1992 by his sworn enemy Margaret Thatcher after she was ousted in a Cabinet coup, and by John Major after his defeat in Labour's 1997 landslide.
Sir Edward's sour backbench vigil and 25-year feud with Mrs Thatcher earned him the nickname "the incredible sulk". And Mrs Thatcher clashed with Mr Major over his handling of the economy just weeks after he succeeded her in 1990.
Boris Johnson, of course, has form for causing trouble from the Tory backbenches. Within days of resigning as foreign secretary over Brexit in July 2018 he exploded back into the political fray with a blistering broadside as Mrs May struggled to contain open warfare in the Conservative Party.
He complained that a "fog of self-doubt" had descended on the government and accused the PM of misleading voters and putting the UK "in limbo". And making a clear pitch for her job, he added: "It's not too late to save Brexit."
PM has consistently refused to rule out a comeback
A few weeks later, at the 2018 Tory conference in Birmingham, he again launched an explosive attack on Ms May's Chequers plan for Brexit. "Chuck Chequers!" he bellowed to 1,500 adoring activists at a fringe meeting.
This time it's different, however, he claims. "My intention and what I certainly will do is give my full and unqualified support to whoever takes over from me," he said during his farewell tour last week.
And in this weekend's Sunday Express, he wrote: "This is the moment for every Conservative to come together and back (the) new leader wholeheartedly."
And yet Mr Johnson has consistently refused to rule out a comeback, no doubt flattered by a Sky News-YouGov Tory leadership poll which suggested nearly half of Conservative Party members want him back.
When asked "What if Boris Johnson was actually on the ballot paper?" he won by a landslide. Some 46% said they would vote for him - almost double the 24% for Liz Truss and 23% for Rishi Sunak.
Talk of 'seven-figure sum' for Johnson's memoirs
There was also a "Bring Back Boris" petition, organised by Tory donor Lord Cruddas, demanding a rule change so the outgoing PM could join Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak on the leadership ballot paper.
Former Tory cabinet minister Rory Stewart has compared Mr Johnson to former Pakistan PM Imran Khan, Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and his soulmate Donald Trump in hoping for a return.
The Sunday Times quoted a senior government official claiming: "Boris is now getting two lots of advice. Some people are telling him to go away and have a nice life and make lots of money. Others are fuelling the stab-in-the-back theory and are suggesting to him that he could come back."
And what about money? It has been claimed that Mr Johnson hopes to make as much as £10m in his first year out of Downing Street.
Tory ally Lord Marland claims Mr Johnson's priority is "putting hay in the loft" to pay off his debts. He will be able to claim up to £115,000 of taxpayers' cash a year towards "public duties".
There is already talk of a deal worth a "seven-figure sum" for his memoirs, in excess of the £800,000 for David Cameron's, as well as finishing a book on Shakespeare.
Then there's newspaper columns - he did, after all, call The Daily Telegraph his "real boss", according to Dominic Cummings - and signing up with a speakers' bureau for £250,000 a speech.
Of course, he'd have to declare his earnings if he remains an MP, although he has fallen foul of the rules of the Register of Members' Interests before and clashed with parliament's standards commissioner and the Electoral Commission over late declarations, a holiday in Mustique and "wallpaper-gate".
'I would never write him off'
He will need to remain in the Commons, though, if he does plan a political comeback. If he survives the Privileges Committee inquiry or it's thrown out in a Commons vote, at the next election he will defend a majority in Uxbridge and South Ruislip of 7,210, not the most impregnable given the Tories' falling support in the polls.
A clue to Mr Johnson's intentions - whether he will indeed be loyal to his successor or cause trouble - will be whether he plans to attend the Tory conference next month.
As he demonstrated with his 2018 onslaught on Theresa May, he enjoys a status with party activists of somewhere between a god and a rock star. His reception from those adoring activists would overshadow and humiliate his successor.
In a farewell interview with the Daily Express, Mr Johnson said it was "TBC" whether he would attend the Conservative conference this year. So he's not ruling that out, either.
Quizzed about his old boss's intentions on Sophy Ridge on Sunday on Sky News, Mr Johnson's veteran ally Lord Lister predicted: "I'd never say on anything with Boris Johnson. Anything is possible in the future."
And repeating a famous Boris Johnson quote from 2013 on his leadership ambitions, he added: "If the ball comes loose in the scrum, then anything could happen. I would never write him off."
'Hasta La Vista, Baby'
The last word on backbench Boris's intentions for the future goes to his former girlfriend Petronella Wyatt, who had a four-year affair with him when they worked at The Spectator magazine, which he edited.
"Knowing Boris as I do, there is no doubt he is planning a political comeback," she tweeted last week. "If he wasn't, he would disassociate himself from the members' petition asking for a vote on his resignation.
"He has not once denied rumours that he intends to return."
At his final PMQs, as well as saying his mission was "largely accomplished - for now", Mr Johnson repeated Arnold Schwarzenegger famous catchphrase "Hasta La Vista, Baby", which roughly translated means: "See you later."
He also offered this advice to his successor: "Always remember to check the rear-view mirror."
Sound advice as the former PM becomes backbench Boris. | https://news.sky.com/story/backbench-boris-is-about-to-make-a-return-and-he-has-form-for-causing-trouble-12690022 | 2022-09-06T01:21:02Z | https://news.sky.com/story/backbench-boris-is-about-to-make-a-return-and-he-has-form-for-causing-trouble-12690022 | false |
EXCLUSIVE: Premier League clubs are compiling lists of their controversial VAR decisions in case they decide to follow Newcastle in making an official complaint after a weekend of errors
- There were a number of controversial VAR decisions over the weekend
- The PGMOL acknowledged errors in the Newcastle and West Ham games
- Clubs are expected to follow Newcastle in making official complaints
- Howard Webb is set to join the PGMOL as chief refereeing officer on Boxing Day
Premier League clubs are compiling lists of their VAR injustices in case they wish to follow Newcastle in making an official complaint about the system.
Newcastle’s move comes after a goal against Crystal Palace on Saturday was disallowed for a foul by Joe Willock on Vicente Guaita. It has been widely accepted that Willock did nothing wrong as he was pushed in the back by Tyrick Mitchell, forcing him to crash into the Palace goalkeeper.
Sportsmail has learned that other top-flight clubs are keeping track of their VAR gripes. A source at one club said that their list is growing longer by the week.
Newcastle have made an official complaint after Joe Willock's goal was ruled out by VAR
The PGMOL acknowledged errors in the Newcastle and West Ham games last weekend
Six games into the new season Newcastle’s list is among the longest. They conceded a 98th-minute winner to Liverpool last week when only five minutes of stoppage time were announced. They also felt robbed of penalties against Wolves, when Sean Longstaff had his shirt pulled by Matheus Nunes, and Manchester City, when Fabian Schar was clattered into by John Stones.
The Premier League’s refereeing body PGMOL have admitted VAR errors in last weekend’s Newcastle game and Chelsea’s controversial win over West Ham, which saw Maxwel Cornet’s late equaliser incorrectly ruled out after Andy Madley consulted the pitchside monitor as instructed by Jarred Gillett. Neither Gillett nor Mason, who was VAR at Newcastle, will be on replay duty for this weekend’s matches.
World Cup 2010 final referee Howard Webb is to join PGMOL as chief refereeing officer later this season, but his first match in charge will not be until Boxing Day as he is contracted to Major League Soccer until November 15, after which the season breaks for the World Cup. Webb, who has headed the North American referees’ body for six years, is hoping to improve transparency by broadcasting conversations between the match officials.
Other Premier League clubs are planning to follow Newcastle in making official complaints
What new ref supremo could bring to the Premier League
WEEKLY VIDEO REVIEWS
Howard Webb is an advocate of transparency and in MLS, fans can visit the YouTube channel of the Professional Referee Organisation (PRO) — the US equivalent of the PGMOL in England — to watch a weekly video review.
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ERRORS
In MLS, referees are assigned their matches 18 days in advance. That is due the logistics of them needing to arrange travel around the US. Despite the difficulties that poses, Webb is not against dropping officials if they make a bad error that directly impacts a result. He wants them to be accountable for their actions and not to put in below-par performances.
Howard Webb is set to join the PGMOL as chief refereeing officer on Boxing Day
CONFESSIONS FOR FANS
Webb is not against PRO publicly acknowledging when a mistake is made. They do not issue statements weekly but they will make an exception if an error is particularly unfortunate. Webb sees it as the best way to maintain credibility and let fans know that a mistake is a mistake — nothing more. In MLS, supporters seem more open to VAR, even if referees are not always getting the calls right. This transparency boosts that.
A HIGHER ‘CLEAR AND OBVIOUS’ BAR
VAR is not for the ‘I’ve seen them given’ moments. They are for the instances where the referee has made a big mistake. That is when VAR should get involved. Webb likes to use the example from his 2010 World Cup final between Holland and Spain. He missed Nigel de Jong’s foot in the chest of Xabi Alonso. If VAR was available, Webb could have visited his monitor and sent off De Jong.
LIVE AUDIO
MLS have flirted with using live audio and tried it on a few occasions, though need FIFA’s permission to do so. The world governing body have been reluctant to let this happen, though Webb is believed to be open to the idea himself. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11182587/Premier-League-clubs-planning-follow-Newcastle-making-official-complaints-VAR-decisions.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-09-06T01:22:46Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11182587/Premier-League-clubs-planning-follow-Newcastle-making-official-complaints-VAR-decisions.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false |

WEED, Calif. — Authorities in California said two women have died after a wildfire swept through a rural Northern California community late last week.
Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office announced on its Facebook page early Monday morning that the women, ages 66 and 73, were found dead by first responders on Friday at different locations in the town of Weed.
The department has not released the names of the deceased.
On Monday, Cal Fire said in a press release that the Mill wildfire, which sparked Friday, has burned more than 4,200 acres, and is 40% contained.
As crews continue to contain the blaze, Cal Fire told ABC News that 88 single structures had been destroyed and 11 others were damaged.
Mill wildfire isn't the only blaze Cal Fire is dealing with.
ABC News reported crews are also battling the nearby Mountain fire, which according to Cal Fire's website, as of Monday, the fire had burned more than 10,330 acres and is only 10% contained.
Officials told ABC News that the Mountain blaze had forced more than 300 people to evacuate, and about 690 structures were threatened with being destroyed. | https://www.wtvr.com/news/national/sheriff-2-women-dead-in-northern-california-wildfire | 2022-09-06T01:28:32Z | https://www.wtvr.com/news/national/sheriff-2-women-dead-in-northern-california-wildfire | false |
MINNEAPOLIS — President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan could lift crushing debt burdens from millions of borrowers, but the tax man may demand a cut of the relief in some states.
That's because some states tax forgiven debt as income, which means borrowers who are still paying down student loans could owe taxes on as much as $10,000 or even $20,000 that was taken off their bill. In Mississippi, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arkansas and North Carolina, forgiven student loans will be subject to state income taxes unless they change their laws to conform with a federal tax exemption for student loans, according to a tally by the Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.
That dismays Cathy Newman, a Louisiana State University graduate who just took a job teaching freshman biology at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. She figures she could end up owing a few hundred dollars of money that she could have kept had she stayed in Louisiana.
Newman said she can come up with the cash because she has a good job, but she knows of a lot of other borrowers who will still be stuck in difficult financial positions even with their loans forgiven.
“If they stay in the state, they could end up with a pretty hefty tax burden if things don't change,” Newman said. “I won't be happy if I have to do it. I can do it. But a lot of people can't.”
Who qualifies for student loan forgiveness?
More than 40 million Americans could see their student loan debt cut or eliminated under the forgiveness plan Biden announced late last month. The president is erasing $10,000 in federal student loan debt for individuals with incomes below $125,000 a year, or households that earn less than $250,000. He’s canceling an additional $10,000 for those who also used federal Pell Grants to pay for college. But it only applies to those whose loans were paid out before July 1, which leaves out current high school seniors and students who will follow them.
Although having $10,000 or $20,000 in loan payments eliminated will be a boon over the long term to borrowers who qualify, those in the affected states might be required to declare that as income. Depending on a state's tax rates, the taxpayer's other income and the deductions and exemptions they're able to claim, that could add up to several hundred extra tax dollars that they'll owe.
Spokespeople for tax agencies in several states — including Virginia, Idaho, New York, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky — told The Associated Press that their states definitely won’t tax student loans forgiven under Biden’s program. Revenue officials in a few other states said they needed to do more research to know.
Newman, 38, went into debt to pay for graduate school. She had already set herself up for relief under the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, though that requires five more years of teaching on top of the five she already taught at the University of Louisiana Monroe. Biden's program would cut $10,000 off her debt load when it takes effect, but under existing Mississippi tax law, the relief won't come free.
“It's not a huge burden for me, but it could be for a lot of other people, which is what I'm worried about, especially if it's unexpected, and I think a lot of people don't realize that,” Newman said.
Which states may tax student loan forgiveness?
Any relief in states that would tax the forgiven debt would have to come from their Legislatures. Leaders of the Minnesota Legislature and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz have indicated in recent media interviews that there's broad support for a fix, which could come during the 2023 session, or even earlier on the remote chance of a special session.
In Wisconsin, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ administration plans to propose a fix in the state budget next year, but that would have to be approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature. And Evers needs to get reelected in November before he can formally make that request. Republican legislative leaders and Evers' GOP challenger, Tim Michels, did not reply to messages seeking comment on the student loan tax issue.
However, in Mississippi, the chairman of the state Senate committee in charge of taxes said he's willing to take a look when the Legislature convenes next year. Republican state Sen. Josh Harkins, of Brandon, said he needs to learn more about what his state's tax laws say on debt forgiveness.
“I'm sure people will want to look at adjusting that or making some changes in the law, but a lot of factors have to be considered,” Harkins said, noting that Mississippi enacted its biggest-ever tax cut earlier this year and adding that he wants to gauge the impact of inflation before making big tax policy decisions. “This all just hit in the last week.”

BEIJING, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Seraphim Energy Group Co., Ltd. (Seraphim), a leading global solar product manufacturer, has recently announced that its 28mm-frame lightweight modules passed the low-temperature mechanical load test, which reflects the products' reliability and the company's technological strength.
According to the standards of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), static mechanical load test is a general test to determine the ability of the PV modules to withstand snow and wind loads. Due to the exacerbating global climate change, PV modules are exposed to extreme cold weather conditions, which poses challenges to the mechanical strength of modules, resistant ability of materials and connection to trackers.
Thus, Seraphim, together with the third-party organization TUV-SUD, conducted the mechanical reliability test on the 28mm-frame lightweight modules under extreme low-temperature conditions. The static mechanical load test of 5400Pa at front side and 2400Pa at back side was completed under extreme low-temperature of -40℃ and 4-clamp installation conditions.
The results show that the modules maintain a good appearance without severe cracks. They also passed the insulation and wet leakage tests with power attenuation of under 5 percent. The result has clearly proven that even under extreme low-temperature conditions, Seraphim's 28mm-frame lightweight modules are safe and reliable.
"As the PV products are installed worldwide in more diversified environments, their performance are facing increasingly high requirements. Based on over a decade of research and development (R&D) and technological experience, Seraphim has been committed to innovation to improve the performance of PV modules and better serve clients with diversified demands, " said Polaris Li, President of Seraphim.
It's learned that Seraphim built a world-class R&D center in 2013, boasting complete R&D and test capability. It also has a highly-effective automatic assembly line equipped with over 40 optimization patents. With solid technological competence and production capability, the company has a combined manufacturing capacity of 7.5 GW globally. To date, more than 14GW of its products have been installed in over 40 countries worldwide.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For thousands of years, the Great Wall has guarded the Chinese territory and the homeland of the Chinese people. On September 3, in a rolling, lush alpine grassland, a string of moving poems composed by little poets living in the mountainous areas made a magnificent "Great Wall of Poetry", which helps protect the spiritual homeland of these children as well as the common spiritual world for everyone.
This is a special public welfare program called "The Great Wall of Poetry -- Let the Undiscovered Literary Talents of Children in the Mountainous areas Shine" launched by this year's Poetry POS campaign launched by China UnionPay, the country's top bank card organization. Via livestreaming, the program seeks to display the talents of children in the mountainous areas to the world.
Two representatives of the little poets came to the event site and recited their poems in a grassland surrounded by mountains in Zherong County, Ningde City of southeast China's Fujian Province. Their voices echoed in the mountains, leaving the poetic feel flow along the "Great Wall of Poetry". There were also some local intangible heritage performances, which turned this public welfare livestreaming into a cultural feast. In the online livestreaming platform of Xinhua News Agency's English app, more than 10 million viewers shared this poetic spectacle.
It is worth mentioning that the warm-up of this event has also attracted the attention and support of many famous people at home and abroad. Jake Pinnick, an American who has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, Robert Adolf, a German who loves Chinese cuisine, Cai Zi, a well-known host, Xiaolin, a painter, and Pan Jiangxue, a pioneer in poverty alleviation, read these children's poems earnestly in recognition and support of this special public welfare program.
At the event, people got a POS receipt printed with poems by donating one yuan at the UnionPay Poetry POS, and all proceeds will be donated to the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation.
China UnionPay Poetry POS campaign was officially launched in July 2019. Over the past four years, the donations raised have been used in Anhui, Henan, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Yunnan and other regions, helping nearly 5,000 children enjoy artistic literacy lessons.

FREMONT, Calif. (KRON) – A Northern California man has been charged with a hate crime in connection with a religiously charged rant at a Taco Bell, the Fremont Police Department said this week.
Singh Tejinder, 37, of Union City, was filmed shouting at another man at a Taco Bell in Fremont on Aug. 21, according to police.
The victim, Krishnan Jayaraman, told Nexstar’s KRON that the suspect’s offensive rant lasted more than eight minutes.
“He again said, ‘Hey, pick up your bean burrito and leave. You’re a vegetarian right? You don’t eat beef. You should eat beef. You Indians should eat beef,’” Jayaraman told KRON.
Jayaraman also said the suspect spat on him and called Hindus “disgusting.”
Police responded to the location of the incident after a Taco Bell employee called to report a disturbance between two customers. Officers arrived to find the men in an “active argument,” the Fremont Police Department wrote on Facebook.
Police interviewed both men involved and “confirmed that a disparaging comment about a particular religion was stated during the verbal argument,” FPD said. Tejinder was not arrested, as there was not yet enough evidence to confirm a hate crime, according to the department.
After reviewing the video, the police again interviewed Jayaraman. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office ultimately charged Tejinder with assault, disturbing the peace by offensive language, and a hate crime in violation of civil rights.
Tejinder was not in custody in Alameda County as of Monday night, police said. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 510-790-6803.
Jayaraman also said there should be no tolerance for such hateful acts.
“We have grown numb to these kinds of things,” Jayaraman told KRON. “We need to be sensitive to a fellow human being.” | https://pix11.com/news/us-world-news/man-charged-with-hate-crime-after-rant-at-california-taco-bell-caught-on-video/ | 2022-09-06T01:58:19Z | https://pix11.com/news/us-world-news/man-charged-with-hate-crime-after-rant-at-california-taco-bell-caught-on-video/ | false |

Oil dips on symbolic OPEC+ output cut
By Sonali Paul
MELBOURNE, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Oil prices slipped early on Tuesday, paring the previous session's 3% gain, as an OPEC+ deal to cut output by 100,000 barrels per day in October was seen as a largely symbolic move to stem the market's recent slide.
Brent crude futures fell 33 cents, or 0.3%, to $95.44 a barrel at 0054 GMT.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures inched up from Monday to $89.13 a barrel, and were up $2.26, or 2.6%, from Friday's close. There was no settlement on Monday, the U.S. Labor Day holiday.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies led by Russia, together called OPEC+, decided to reverse a 100,000 bpd increase for September after top producer Saudi Arabia and other members voiced concern about the slump in prices since June despite tight supply.
Analysts, who had not expected the agreement even after Saudi Arabia had said it wanted to shore up prices, said the cut was mostly symbolic given that OPEC+ has been unable to meet its production targets.
"This move shows they remain serious about supporting prices, despite the fact the cut will have little impact on the supply/demand dynamics in the short term," ANZ Research analysts said in a note.
Further supporting prices, the European Union's foreign policy chief said he was less hopeful about reaching an agreement soon to revive a nuclear deal with Iran, which would delay any return of around 1 million bpd of Iranian crude to the market.
Westpac senior economist Justin Smirk said a return of Iranian oil would probably just offset lost production from Russia, so broader supply is unlikely to change much.
He said OPEC+ should be satisfied that oil is holding around $90 a barrel.
"You've got growth shocks, rate rises and a strong U.S. dollar and prices haven't fallen away in a meaningful sense - reflecting a tight market. I can't see why OPEC would want to change that," Smirk said.

JERUSALEM, Israel — The Israeli military on Monday announced the long-awaited results of its investigation into the deadly shooting of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, saying there was a “high probability” an Israeli soldier had mistakenly killed her during a raid in the occupied West Bank last May.
It was the closest that Israel has come to accepting responsibility for the shooting. But in a report that seemed to raise as many questions as it sought to answer, the military revealed no new evidence to back its claim that the Palestinian-American journalist might have been killed by Palestinian gunmen during a battle with Israel troops and Palestinian gunmen. It also said that no one would be punished for the shooting.
The conclusions were unlikely to put to rest an issue that has worsened what already were badly strained relations between Israel and the Palestinians. Both Palestinian officials and Abu Akleh’s family accused the army of evading responsibility for her killing.
“Our family is not surprised by this outcome since it’s obvious to anyone that Israeli war criminals cannot investigate their own crimes. However, we remain deeply hurt, frustrated and disappointed,” her family said in a statement.
Abu Akleh, a 51-year-old Palestinian-American, was killed while covering an Israeli raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank on May 11. She had covered the West Bank for Al Jazeera for two decades and was a well-known face across the Arab world.
In a briefing with reporters, a senior Israeli military official said there was a “very high likelihood” that Abu Akleh was mistakenly shot by an Israeli soldier positioned inside an armored vehicle who thought he was aiming at a militant.
“He misidentified her,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity under military briefing guidelines. “His reports in real time... absolutely point to a misidentification.”
“We know that he fired, but it could very well be that this happened from other fire,” he added.
Jenin is known as a bastion of Palestinian militants, and Israel has carried out raids there almost nightly since a string of deadly attacks inside Israel earlier this year, some of which were carried out by assailants from the area.
Repeating previous Israeli claims, the military official said the soldiers had been under continuous fire for almost an hour from multiple directions before Abu Akleh was shot. The army released several videos showing Palestinian militants firing automatic weapons and soldiers coming under fire that day.
But the military provided no evidence to support its claim that a fierce gunbattle was under way at the time that Abu Akleh was shot. Amateur videos as well as witness accounts have shown no evidence of militants in the vicinity and the area appeared to be quiet for several minutes before she was shot.
It also was unclear how Abu Akleh, who was wearing a helmet and vest marked “press” at the time, could be mistaken for a militant. The official only said that the soldier’s vision from inside the vehicle was “very limited,” causing Abu Akleh to be misidentified in a split-second decision.
He said the findings of the investigation had been turned over to the chief military prosecutor, who was satisfied with them and decided against a criminal investigation. That means no one will be charged in her death.
Critics have long accused the military of doing a poor job of investigating wrongdoing by its troops. The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem accused the army of carrying out a “whitewash,” while Abu Akleh’s family and the Palestinian Authority both called for the case to be turned over to the International Criminal Court in the Hague. The ICC has opened an investigation into possible war crimes by Israel in both Gaza and the West Bank.
Nabil Abu Rdeneh, spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, dismissed the announcement as “another Israeli attempt to evade responsibility for her killing.”
He said all evidence proves that “Israel is the culprit, that it killed Shireen, and it must be held responsible for its crime.”
The PA, Abu Akleh’s family and Al Jazeera have accused Israel of intentionally killing Abu Akleh, while a series of investigations by international media organizations, including The Associated Press, have found that Israeli troops most likely fired the fatal bullet. The United States concluded that an Israeli soldier likely killed her by mistake, but it did not explain how it reached that conclusion.
Al Jazeera’s local bureau chief, Walid Al-Omari, said Monday’s report was “clearly an attempt to circumvent the opening of a criminal investigation.”
The Committee to Protect Journalists called the Israeli findings “late and incomplete.”
"They provided no name for Shireen Abu Akleh’s killer and no other information than his or her own testimony that the killing was a mistake,” said Sherif Mansour, the group's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. “That does not provide the answers — by any measure of transparency or accountability — that her family and colleagues deserve.”
Israel has previously said she was killed during a complex battle with Palestinian militants and that only a forensic analysis of the bullet could confirm whether it was fired by an Israeli soldier or a Palestinian militant. However, a U.S.-led analysis of the bullet last July was inconclusive as investigators said the bullet had been badly damaged.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said Monday, “We welcome Israel’s review of this tragic incident, and again underscore the importance of accountability in this case, such as policies and procedures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.”
The AP reconstruction of Abu Akleh's killing lent support to witness accounts that she was killed by Israeli forces. Subsequent investigations by CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post reached similar conclusions, as did monitoring by the office of the U.N. human rights chief.
Abu Akleh rose to fame two decades ago during the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising, against Israeli rule. She documented the harsh realities of life under Israeli military rule — now well into its sixth decade with no end in sight — for viewers across the Arab world.
Israeli police drew widespread criticism from around the world when they beat mourners and pallbearers at her funeral in Jerusalem. An Israeli newspaper reported that a police investigation found wrongdoing by some of its officers, but said those who supervised the event will not be seriously punished.
Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war and has built settlements where nearly 500,000 Israelis live alongside nearly 3 million Palestinians. The Palestinians want the territory to form the main part of a future state.

Travelers choose Palm Beach International Airport for Labor Day flights
Labor day weekend brought in many tourists to South Florida.
"We stayed by the pool, by the beach and ate a lot and drank a lot," said Gerum Yilma from Atlanta who was celebrating his 20th anniversary with his wife Aida.
The couple flew out of Palm Beach International Airport back home to a busy Atlanta airport.
"Travel has been hectic right? So we wanted to make sure we could get in and out of the airport and didn't want to risk a lot of cancelations," said Yilma.
"There's always groups of people talking, throwing footballs, cornhole, the water is a lot better," said Justin Orecchio from Connecticut who spent Labor Day weekend visiting his grandmother while also enjoying South Florida amenities.
"It's quick, it's like a two-and-a-half-hour flight. Everything was on time, travel was good, flight was good. Ten out of ten I guess," said Orecchio. "I like to see my Grandma. I also visited some colleges."
According to the Transportation Security Administration, nearly 6 million people took to the skies from Friday to Sunday.
"We went to Canada to visit our family, got lots of brothers and sisters," said Alita & Alita & Craig Bowman from Delray Beach. "It's nice and warm again now it's cold up there."
The Bowmans flew back through Palm Beach International as flight tracker website FlightAware reports at least one cancelation and at least 7 delays from PBI on Monday.
"Oh I like West Palm a lot better, it's not as much people or traffic. We would have to go to Fort Lauderdale and this a much nicer airport," said Alita & Alita & Craig Bowman.
Nationally, FlightAware reports at least 101 cancelations and at least 2,883 delays this Labor Day Monday.
If you're traveling and your flight is canceled, this online dashboard by the U.S. Department of Transportation has a chart of which airlines will accommodate passengers on things like rebooking, meals, hotels even transportation.

The Loan Fund Trustee enters the affiliated auto loan program agreement with the affiliated financial institution, acting as originator and initial servicer. The affiliated auto loans are guaranteed by the affiliated financial institution.
The Loan Fund Trustee extends the affiliated loan to obligors based on the affiliated auto loan agreement.
The originator entrusts cash to the Money Fund Trustee to enhance the credit and the liquidity of the Auto Loan Fund, and receives the Money Fund Beneficial Interest.
The Money Fund Trustee entrusts the cash, in an amount equal to the Money Fund Beneficial Interest, to the Loan Fund Trustee, and receives the Class 2 Beneficial Interest.
The originator entrusts cash to the Loan Fund Trustee and receives the Class 1 Beneficial Interest. The Loan Fund Trustee receives a limited recourse loan (the ABL) from the ABL investor, and redeems the Class 1 Beneficial Interest in full.
Credit enhancement is provided by the senior/subordinated structure and available excess spread. Subordination (excluding liquidity reserves) comprises approximately 17.4% of the total outstanding amount of the ABL and the Class 2 Beneficial Interest.
The ABL is redeemed on a monthly pass-through basis. The Class 2 Beneficial Interest is partly redeemed to the extent that the required enhancement is maintained.
If any early amortization events occur, the dividend waterfall to the Class 2 Beneficial Interest is suspended, and excess spread is used to redeem the ABL of this series. Auto loans' interest and principal collected from Auto Loan ABS program series which have their ABLs already fully redeemed will be distributed to the outstanding ABLs from other Auto Loan ABS program series. This cross collateralization mechanism is implemented via the Money Fund, which is held by the Money Fund Trustee.
Early amortization events include a servicer replacement event occurring, such as the occurrence of an uncured principal deficiency ledger (PDL) or the bankruptcy of the affiliated financial institution.
If any servicer replacement events occur, the trustee can dismiss the servicer and have a back-up servicer take over the servicing operations. A back-up servicer is appointed at closing. In preparation for servicer replacement, liquidity is provided in the form of a cash reserve at closing. This reserve covers several months of interest payments on the ABL, as well as fees relating to initial and ongoing back-up servicer operations.
Commingling risk is covered in full by the Class 2 Beneficial Interest.
The rating is based mainly on the credit quality of the receivables, the transaction structure, and the servicer's experience.
Moody's estimated the annualized expected default rate of the underlying assets at 2.2% (cumulative expected default rate: approximately 4.4%, Aaa credit enhancement: approximately 13.7%), after taking into consideration receivable attributes, historical data on the originator's entire pool, performance data on existing securitization pools, and industry trends. The expected default rate is based on the default definition used in Moody's analysis and may not be comparable to other rates.
To determine the rating, Moody's also conducted a cash flow analysis by adding stress consistent with the assigned rating on parameters such as the expected default rate.
Moody's assumes that, given the structure of the transaction as well as other factors, the risk of interruption to the cash flow from the assets in the event of the originator's or the trustee's bankruptcy is sufficiently minimized to achieve the rating assigned.
Moody's considers the originator sufficiently capable of servicing the pool, after having taken into account the originator's business experience and the servicing operations.
The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's Global Approach to Rating Auto Loan- and Lease-Backed ABS (Japanese)" published in September 2021 and available at https://ratings.moodys.com/api/rmc-documents/75651. Alternatively, please see the Rating Methodologies page on https://ratings.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.
Please note that a Request for Comment was published in which Moody's requested market feedback on potential revisions to one or more of the methodologies used in determining these Credit Ratings. If the revised methodologies are implemented as proposed, it is not currently expected that the Credit Ratings referenced in this press release will be affected.
Request for Comments can be found on the rating methodologies page on https://ratings.moodys.com.
Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the rating:
The primary factor that could lead to a downgrade of the rating is worse performance of the underlying assets than Moody's expected.
Moody's has also conducted the sensitivity analysis below which provides the number of notches by which the model-indicated output of the deal would have varied if different assumptions had been made as to certain key model parameters. The analysis assumes that the deal has not aged.
If the expected default rate was changed from 2.2% to 3.3% and 5.5% and other assumptions remained unchanged, the model-indicated output of the rated class would change by 0 and 2 notches respectively.
The analysis results are model-indicated outputs, which are one of the many quantitative and qualitative factors considered by rating committees in determining actual ratings. This analysis does not intend to measure how the rating of the deal might migrate over time, but rather, how the initial model-indicated output of the deal might have differed if certain key model parameters had been varied.
REGULATORY DISCLOSURES
For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and Sensitivity to Assumptions in the disclosure form. Moody's Rating Symbols and Definitions can be found on https://ratings.moodys.com/rating-definitions.
The analysis relies on an assessment of collateral characteristics to determine the collateral loss distribution, that is, the function that correlates to an assumption about the likelihood of occurrence to each level of possible losses in the collateral. As a second step, Moody's evaluates each possible collateral loss scenario using a model that replicates the relevant structural features to derive payments and therefore the ultimate potential losses for each rated instrument. The loss a rated instrument incurs in each collateral loss scenario, weighted by assumptions about the likelihood of events in that scenario occurring, results in the expected loss of the rated instrument.
Moody's quantitative analysis entails an evaluation of scenarios that stress factors contributing to sensitivity of ratings and take into account the likelihood of severe collateral losses or impaired cash flows. Moody's weights the impact on the rated instruments based on its assumptions of the likelihood of the events in such scenarios occurring.

NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) — Former New Orleans Mayor Moon Landrieu — whose early, lonely stand against segregationists in the Louisiana legislature launched a political career at the forefront of sweeping changes on race — died Monday, a family friend confirmed. He was 92.
Ryan Berni, a longtime friend of the family, confirmed that Landrieu passed away early Monday.
“He died peacefully this morning surrounded by family,” Berni told The Associated Press.
A progressive white Democrat whose demeanor could be combative at times, Landrieu came from a blue-collar Roman Catholic family, served in the Army and sat alongside the first Black students at the city’s Loyola law school before winning a statehouse seat in 1960.
By then, six years had passed since the U.S. Supreme Court ordered public schools to desegregate nationwide, and Landrieu couldn’t in good conscience go along when Gov. Jimmie Davis steamrolled legislation to keep students in New Orleans separated by race. They passed by lopsided margins with Landrieu, at least once, the lone “no” vote.
The white politicians who had a lock on power on Louisiana said he’d dug his political grave, but he held onto his House seat in 1963 and then won a city council seat in 1965 with strong support from Black voters, whose influence was beginning to be felt at the polls.
To win his first mayoral term, Landrieu assembled a coalition of white liberals and African Americans and campaigned to bring Black people into important positions in government.
Integrating City Hall had its costs: In a 2018 memoir, Mitch Landrieu wrote that death threats were phoned into his family home and his school. Moon Landrieu discussed the blowback over race in a 1977 speech to the National League of Cities convention.
“If you embark on a campaign to end racial discrimination in your hometown, you will need nerves of steel, a will of iron, skin like leather and testicles of brass to withstand the slings and arrows,” he said. “I have myself these past eight years been known in some quarters as ‘Moon the Coon,’ an epithet that has caused me some pain at times, but that is also a badge of honor that bears testimony to what we try to do.”
His mayoral legacy also includes his support for the state’s construction of the Louisiana Superdome, which finally opened in 1975. It’s a beloved fixture of the city landscape now, but cost overruns and a contract scandal caused headaches for its supporters, including Landrieu.
“There has been an unbelievable emphasis on the few things that have been wrong with it and total neglect of the many, many things that are right with it,” he said several years later.
As Black voters gained influence, the coalition that elected Landrieu to the maximum two terms helped make Ernest “Dutch″ Morial the city’s first Black mayor, in 1978.
Landrieu then became President Jimmy Carter’s secretary of housing and urban development, an agency whose programs came under attack when President Ronald Reagan took office on a platform to reduce the federal government’s size and power.
Landrieu criticized Reagan for “gutting” public aid programs, and briefly considered a presidential bid of his own. But he never sought national office. Instead, he became a judge — “I really wanted to get out of my kids’ way,” he said – serving on Louisiana’s 4th Circuit Court of Appeal from 1992 to 2000.
Several of Landrieu’s nine children continue his legacy in law and politics: Mitch, also a two-term New Orleans mayor, is now President Joe Biden’s infrastructure coordinator; Mary, who served three terms as a U.S. senator, is now a policy adviser with a Washington law firm. Madeleine became dean of the law school at Loyola University New Orleans, and Maurice is a federal prosecutor.
Born Maurice E. Landrieu on July 23, 1930, he was called Moon, a family nickname, throughout his life and eventually made that his legal first name. He served three years in the Army before opening a small, walk-up law office with law school classmate Pascal Calogero, later the chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
Landrieu credited his wife, Verna, with nudging him into politics, and his Black classmates, including Norman Francis, who would become Xavier University’s dean and president, for opening his eyes.
“It wasn’t just a question of racial justice, but from a practical standpoint, I recognized — as a politician, as a legislator and councilman — that we were wasting so much talent, wasting so much energy, by precluding Blacks from participation in all matters,” he recalled in a 2020 interview with the New Orleans weekly newspaper Gambit.
“And I was determined, as I became mayor, to revitalize this city and to bring about racial integration, so that the city could enjoy the full benefit of white and Black participants.”
Gov. John Bel Edwards called Landrieu a man of “bold vision.”
“Moon Landrieu was a courageous and defining voice for Louisiana and his beloved hometown of New Orleans,” Edwards said in a statement. “In addition to his many contributions to our state and nation, he leaves behind the most enduring legacy of all – a family that continues his fight for equality.” | https://www.wric.com/news/politics/ap-new-orleans-political-patriarch-moon-landrieu-has-died/ | 2022-09-06T02:30:19Z | https://www.wric.com/news/politics/ap-new-orleans-political-patriarch-moon-landrieu-has-died/ | false |

Brown dazzles in MLB debut, Astros edge skidding Rangers 1-0
Hunter Brown dazzled in his major league debut, scattering three hits across six impressive innings as the Houston Astros beat Texas 1-0 on Monday night to hand the Rangers their ninth straight defeat.
The Astros scored against hard-luck loser Martín Pérez (10-6) with the help of an error in the second. But that one run was enough on a night when three relievers completed a three-hitter after Brown’s stellar start.
Brown (1-0), considered Houston’s top prospect, struck out five and walked one. The 24-year-old right-hander was called up after going 9-4 with a 2.55 ERA in 14 starts and nine relief appearances for Triple-A Sugar Land this season.
“I thought I had some pretty good stuff today. I had both breaking balls going at times, and my fastball was really good early,” Brown said. “So I was happy with it.”
Bryan Abreu pitched the seventh and Hector Neris worked the eighth before Rafael Montero got three outs for his 12th save.
Pérez yielded six hits with five strikeouts in seven innings, but it wasn’t enough for the Rangers to end their longest skid of the season. The nine-game slide is the longest current losing streak in the majors and the team’s most consecutive losses since dropping 12 games in a row last July.
Texas interim manager Tony Beasley raved about Brown’s performance.
“You have to give him credit,” Beasley said. “He had a live fastball, a nice little breaking ball and he attacked. He forced us into contact.”
Brown retired the first eight batters he faced before Bubba Thompson singled with two outs in the third. He was caught stealing to end the inning.
Marcus Semien doubled to start the fourth, but Brown set down the next three batters to leave him stranded.
There were two outs in the fifth when Kole Calhoun walked before a single by Ezequiel Durán. After a short mound visit, Brown struck out Thompson to end the inning. Brown then pitched a 1-2-3 sixth and received a standing ovation as he walked off the field.
“He handled it great,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “It eases you some when you throw first-pitch strikes and then strike out the first two hitters. He was real good. He was very good.”
Brown credited catcher Martín Maldonado for aiding his success.
“He called a great game and obviously his leadership shows through,” Brown said. “I felt very comfortable the whole time and that’s just a compliment to him.”
Trey Mancini walked with two outs in the Houston second before a single by Chas McCormick. Maldonado then singled on a line drive to left field and an error by Thompson on the play allowed Mancini to score.
Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker hit consecutive singles with two outs in the third, but Pérez retired Yuli Gurriel to end the threat. That was the first of 11 straight batters Pérez set down before McCormick legged out an infield single in the seventh. Maldonado grounded into a double play to end the inning.
The Astros had a chance to add to the lead in the eighth when they had runners at first and third with no outs. Yordan Alvarez hit a pop fly in foul territory that first baseman Nathaniel Lowe caught. Jose Altuve, who was on third, dashed toward home.
Lowe got the ball to catcher Jonah Heim, and he applied the tag just before a sliding Altuve tapped the plate. The Astros challenged the call but it was upheld before Bregman struck out to end the threat.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rangers: C Sam Huff was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, and C Meibrys Viloria was optioned to Round Rock.
Astros: RHP Justin Verlander (right calf) played catch. ... Houston closer Ryan Pressly is expected to come off the injured list Tuesday. He was placed on the IL with neck spasms Aug. 25.
EVEN STEVEN
The win gave the Astros an all-time record of 4,812-4,812. It’s the first time they’ve had a franchise mark of .500 since they were 3,519-3,519 on May 14, 2006.

Houston LHP Framber Valdez (14-4, 2.63 ERA) opposes RHP Glenn Otto (6-8, 4.82) when the series continues Tuesday night.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The military contractor who pleaded guilty to orchestrating the “Fat Leonard” corruption scandal and was under house arrest in San Diego is now on the run after cutting off his GPS monitoring ankle bracelet over the weekend, federal authorities said.
Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Omar Castillo said Leonard Glenn Francis removed the tracker Sunday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
After police officers found Francis' home empty, the San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service began a high-profile search, the newspaper reported.
Castillo said neighbors witnessed U-Haul moving trucks coming to and from Francis' home in the days before his escape.
Francis was arrested in San Diego in 2013 and pleaded guilty in 2015 to offering $500,000 in bribes to Navy officers. In exchange, the officers passed him classified information and even went so far as redirecting military vessels to ports that were lucrative for his Singapore-based ship servicing company.
Prosecutors say Francis and his company overcharged the U.S. military by more than $35 million for its services.
Francis has been on house arrest since at least 2018 and under the supervision of a federal agency that monitors defendants who are out of custody until sentencing. He was set to be sentenced at the end of month.
Francis’ defense attorney, Devin Burstein, declined to comment to the Union-Tribune on Monday. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Police-Fat-Leonard-escapes-house-arrest-in-San-17421070.php | 2022-09-06T02:59:21Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Police-Fat-Leonard-escapes-house-arrest-in-San-17421070.php | false |

SEATTLE (AP) — Even though Lance Lynn was overpowering, he had to give a little credit to his surroundings.
A sunny day and an unusual afternoon start time in Seattle played perfectly into Lynn's hands.
“The shadows were ugly early, so that helped the pitchers for sure,” Lynn said. “I knew that they were going to have trouble seeing the ball so I just went and attacked, and it worked out well.”
Lynn mowed through Seattle striking out a season-high 11, Elvis Andrus hit a two-run home run, and the Chicago White Sox snapped the Mariners’ seven-game win streak with a 3-2 win on Monday.
Lynn retired the final 17 batters he faced in a dominant outing against a Seattle lineup that looked sleepy following a long Sunday in Cleveland and an early-morning arrival back in the Pacific Northwest.
The win kept the White Sox on the heels of Minnesota and Cleveland in a suddenly tight AL Central race, while Seattle lost ground to both Toronto and Tampa Bay in the chase for the top wild-card spot in the AL.
Chicago has won five of six.
“The first week when I was here it was tense — a lot of guys trying to make things happen,” said Andrus, who signed with the White Sox on Aug. 19. “Lately we’ve been able to just let our talent go out there and compete.”
Lynn (5-5) didn’t allow a base runner after Abraham Toro’s bloop RBI single in the second inning that right fielder Andrew Vaughn appeared to lose briefly in the sun. The 11 strikeouts were one off his career high, and he allowed just three hits.
Seattle’s only run was unearned thanks to a passed ball and Lynn has allowed three earned runs total in his past four starts.
“When you have shadows, you're going to attack because and your cutter and sinker are going to work well. Anything that moves late,” Lynn said.
The consecutive batters retired streak reached 19 until Julio Rodríguez singled off Kendall Graveman with two outs in the eighth. Liam Hendriks allowed two singles and a walk in the ninth, including J.P. Crawford's two-out single to score Mitch Haniger. But Hendriks struck out pinch-hitter Adam Frazier to finish off his 30th save.
“Our guys continue to compete, really every night. It's fun to watch,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “Down by one, two, three, four runs, whatever, we are going to put pressure on other teams and make it tough to close it out.”
Andrus’ home run was one of two blemishes in an otherwise strong outing by Seattle starter Marco Gonzales. And it was very nearly an out rather than a homer.
Haniger made a leaping attempt and had the ball in his glove but lost it as he made contact with the padded wall. It was Andrus’ 11th homer of the season and his fifth against Seattle having hit four earlier in the year with Oakland.
“I've been having really good at-bats here something that I haven’t done in my whole career in Seattle,” Andrus said. “So I think that’s kind of made up for my first eight years that I didn’t have good luck.”
A.J. Pollock also hit a solo home run for the White Sox but otherwise the Mariners got the start it needed from Gonzales after using every bullpen arm in Cleveland on Sunday.
Gonzales (10-13) threw seven innings for the just second time since late June, allowing four hits and striking out three.
ROSTER MOVES
The White Sox activated 3B Yoán Moncada from the 10-day IL and reinstated LHP Aaron Bummer from the 60-day IL. Moncada had been out with a strained left hamstring. He was hitting .197 with seven homers and 40 RBIs in 80 games prior to the injury. Moncada is expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Bummer has been out since early June due to a left lat strain. He appeared in three rehab games with Triple-A Charlotte before being reinstated. He was 0-1 with a 3.06 ERA in 20 games with Chicago prior to the injury.
The White Sox optioned OFs Adam Haseley and Mark Payton to Charlotte and outrighted RHP Tobias Myers to Charlotte to clear the roster spots.
TRAINER’S ROOM
White Sox: Chicago’s starting pitcher for Wednesday is still listed as to be determined, but acting manager Miguel Cairo said there’s a chance it could be RHP Michael Kopech. Kopech has been out since Aug. 23 with a left knee strain.
Mariners: IF/OF Dylan Moore was expected to pick up some additional activity in his return from an oblique strain. Moore was expected to do some rotational exercises in the pool on Monday, but he still likely a couple weeks away from a possible return.
UP NEXT
White Sox: RHP Johnny Cueto (7-6, 2.93) has won three of his past four decisions. Cueto threw 5 1/3 innings allowing six hits and one run in his last start against Kansas City.
Mariners: RHP Logan Gilbert (11-5, 3.35) threw six shutout innings allowing only two hits and striking out nine in his last start against Detroit. Gilbert picked up his first win since July 3 in the outing.

BALTIMORE — Baltimore City leaders and City health leaders held a press conference Monday night to let community members know they are working to get them clean water.
Baltimore’s Department of Public Works reported E. Coli was found in tested water samples in several locations in the Harlem Park and Sandtown communities in West Baltimore.
“Our first concern is the public,” said Jason Mitchell, Director of the Department of Public Works.
DPW started retesting the water for the bacteria on Monday.
It takes about 24 hours for the tests to come back.
In the meantime, health officials are asking residents impacted to boil water for at least one minute to kill the bacteria.
“The health and safety of our residents is of the utmost importance,” Health Department Director Dr. Letitia Dzirasa said. “Our key recommendation as a public health standpoint is to boil water for at least one minute. We know that boiling water kills bacteria, as well as other viruses.”
DPW said they take samples from 90 locations across the city month, in total of 360 samples.
On Friday, 19 samples were taken, and one of the locations on Sandtown and Harlem, at Fire Engine 8 on W. Lafayette, tested positive.
Then, on Saturday, it was confirmed that the police stations on N. Mount Street and N. Carey Street tested positive.
MORE: DPW finds E. Coli in water in several locations throughout Baltimore
Officials are investigating the cause.
“We are surveying and sampling other locations within the impacted zone but we also are testing locations that tested negative, but we want to retest them, and that work is commencing right now,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell said DPW is identifying construction sites as possible causes of impact.
“We are identifying construction sites that may have caused potential impacts to our water system,” Mitchell said. “We are performing leak detection in the area as well. We are performing live checks and checking chlorine levels, as well.”
Since the announcement of water contamination in Baltimore City, City officials have started distributing water to those impacted, and informed residents in the community.
The water contamination impacts about 1,500 residential and commercial facilities.
DPW said the team is flushing the system and performing leak detection, valve assessments, and increasing the chlorination in the area.
Mitchell said he is confident the positive test results are associated with the three water treatment plants.
“At this time, we do not know the source of the contamination, but I can assure you that we are working actively to determine the exact extent of the issue, identify the source and resume the delivery of clean water to our residents in the impacted area,” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said.
On Tuesday, with a donation from Nestle, officials will be out distributing more water to residents in the impacted areas.
There will be a water distribution center at Harlem Park Middle School.
On Monday, 1,700 gallons of water were handed out to those impacted.
“We are taking this issue seriously,” Mayor Scott said. “This is why we are here with a full operation of our Emergency Operations Center. We understand deeply the concerns of residents and we want to assure them that their health and well-being are our first priority.”
As a precaution, DPW has issued a Boil Water Advisory for residents, businesses, and other facilities in portions of West Baltimore.
This advisory affects about 1,500 people in the following areas:
- North-South
- Riggs Avenue to West Franklin Street and East-West
- Carey Street to Pulaski Street
- Bolton Hill
- Harlem Park neighborhood
The City of Baltimore has notified City Schools of a water quality issue affecting the Harlem Park neighborhood. To ensure the health and safety of students and out of an abundance of caution, City Schools will provide hand sanitizer for staff and students to use for all handwashing, staff, and students will continue to use bottled water for drinking, and all meals will be prepared off-site for the following schools:
- Furman Templeton Preparatory Academy
- Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School
- Bluford Drew Jemison STEM Academy West
- Frederick Elementary School
- Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts

Townsend braces for hostile Sharks return
There is probably no halfback in the NRL who knows the quirks and intricacies of Cronulla's Shark Park quite like Chad Townsend.
The North Queensland halfback played 146 games for the Sharks and won their maiden premiership in 2016 as their sole local junior before moving to Townsville this year.
But throughout eight seasons with Cronulla, Townsend didn't play a single finals game at PointsBet Stadium.
Cronulla had to battle with the NRL to host a game at the 11,500-capacity ground but they considered it a fight worth having.
They have lost just one game at home all season under first-year coach Craig Fitzgibbon.
And Townsend knows the Cowboys, who were pipped to second spot by the Sharks, face a baptism of fire come Saturday's qualifying final.
"It's maybe the fans they really get into you, they're super passionate and it's because of them that it's such a hostile environment," Townsend told AAP.
"You don't get many calls from the ref and the other thing is it can get really windy at night.
"On that field, anything goes and I guess that's something that really excites me."
If things had worked out differently Townsend could well have been playing for the Sharks this weekend.
He had an option in his favour to trigger a contract extension but declined it and then opted to switch to North Queensland.
It was a move that was met with scorn from some quarters, many arguing that Townsend hadn't done enough in his recent campaigns with the Sharks to earn a payday in Townsville.
"We (Cronulla) played the Cowboys last year, and we absolutely pumped them and it was probably one of my better games," he said.
"The next day I'm sat in a cafe with Todd (Payten) and he pitched to me about what they were after.
"That kind of blew me away and I went home to my wife and said: 'I can be the guy they want me to be'. Within a few days I'd signed the contract."
Moving to Townsville - when the Cowboys had just finished 15th - wouldn't appeal to many players.
Adding to that was the fact that Townsend's his likely halves partner, Tom Dearden, was struggling after being chewed up and spat out by Brisbane.
But after 12 games alongside Townsend, 21-year-old Dearden had played a starring role in Queensland's State of Origin win and is hitting the heights many good judges expected him to.
"I knew what he was feeling being a young half and having the pressure of running a team," Townsend said.
"But he's a kid who competes on everything and I was knocked back by his work ethic in pre-season.
"I knew then he was going to have a big year and it doesn't surprise me the season that he's had." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11183671/Townsend-braces-hostile-Sharks-return.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-06T03:22:09Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11183671/Townsend-braces-hostile-Sharks-return.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
North American companies are onboarding robot workers at a faster-than-ever pace.
According to the Association for Advancing Automation, companies ordered a record-setting 12,305 machines in the second quarter of 2022. That's 25% more than the same period a year ago.
"The pandemic definitely highlighted some areas and shortages in resources needed to be automated, and customers had to automate just due to the fact that people weren't coming back to the workplace," FANUC North America Vice President Louis Finazzo said.
"For a long time, the automotive industry accounted for 60 to 70% of robot orders," Association for Advancing Automation President Jeff Burnstein said. "And we knew that when other industries started adopting is when we would really see growth, which is finally happening now, in part due to the pandemic forcing companies to look at other options when they couldn't bring people into work."
Burnstein and Finazzo told Newsy that the industries helping fuel this increased demand for robotics ranged widely from food processing to pharmaceuticals.
E-commerce companies have been particularly interested in buying up these robots, as robots can help grab packages and get them ready for delivery.
However, if these robots are meant to close productivity gaps, the results aren't apparent. During the second quarter of 2022, U.S. productivity fell at its highest rate since the government began collecting that data.
Robots can help do the tasks businesses need to be done, but it will take time to get those machines up and running. And they'll need a human workforce with specialized training.
"The lack of people who are available to install and maintain, operate, program and take advantage of all the data — this is a barrier, actually, to further adoption of robotics," Burnstein said. "We have to put more emphasis on teaching people the skills they need because we all have to benefit in an increasingly automated future."
Experts are pleased with how quickly robots are being added to the workplace. A mechanized future is well on its way.
"The adoption curve used to be 50 weeks; now it's been cut into the 21-week range," Finazzo said. "So, you will see gains happening quicker because the customers and the manufacturers are picking applications that can get immediate impact."

Man survives 11 days floating on ocean in freezer
(CNN) - A Brazilian man floated in a freezer in the ocean for 11 days, surviving without food or water, before being rescued.
Romualdo Macedo Rodrigues told Record TV he was on a fishing trip in August when his boat sank off the coast of northern Brazil. As it went down, he saw the floating cooler and jumped inside.
“I was desperate. I thought my end was coming. But thanks God, God gave me one more chance,” he told Record TV.
Rodrigues said he had no food or water. At times, sharks surrounded him as he floated in the ocean.
But 11 days after his boat went down, a group of fishermen found Rodrigues off the coast of Suriname. He was treated at a hospital.
“I was born again. I thought I wouldn’t be telling this story, but I’m back here,” he said. “That freezer was God in my life. The only thing I had was the freezer. It was a miracle.”
Officials detained Rodrigues for a few days because he didn’t have proper documentation, but he is now back home with his family in Brazil.

NEW YORK – New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi will have surgery this week after breaking a bone in his right wrist, but the AL East leaders hope he can play again this season.
“I think the possibility of him returning is still in play,” manager Aaron Boone said after Monday's 5-2 win over Minnesota.
The surgery is set for Tuesday.
Benintendi broke the hook hamate bone while taking a swing Friday night at Tampa Bay and was put on the 10-day injured list the next day.
An All-Star this season with Kansas City, the 28-year-old Benintendi was traded to the Yankees in late July. After a slow start with his new team, he recently began to produce more.
Benintendi is batting a combined .304 with 51 RBIs. He is hitting .254 with 12 RBIs in 33 games for the Yankees.

NEW YORK — Frances Tiafoe's vision was blurry from the tears. He was thrilled — overwhelmed, even — when the last point was over and it hit him that, yes, he had ended Rafael Nadal's 22-match Grand Slam winning streak Monday and reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the first time.
"I felt like the world stopped," Tiafoe said. "I couldn't hear anything for a minute."
Then Tiafoe found himself "losing it in the locker room" when he saw that NBA superstar LeBron James gave him a Twitter shoutout.
"Bro," Tiafoe said, "I was going crazy."
What meant the most to Tiafoe about his 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over 22-time major champion Nadal in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows, though, was looking up in his Arthur Ashe Stadium guest box and knowing his parents, Constant and Alphina, were there.
"To see them experience me beat Rafa Nadal — they've seen me have big wins, but to beat those 'Mount Rushmore' guys? For them, I can't imagine what was going through their heads," said Tiafoe, a 24-year-old American seeded 22nd at the U.S. Open. "I mean, they're going to remember today for the rest of their lives."
His parents both emigrated to the United States from Sierra Leone in West Africa amid its civil war in the 1990s. They ended up in Maryland, where Constant helped construct a tennis training center for juniors, then became a maintenance man there; Alphina, Frances said, was "a nurse, working two jobs, working overtime through the nights." Frances and his twin brother, Franklin, were born in 1998, and soon would be spending hour upon hour where Dad's job was, rackets in hand.
Maybe one day, went the dream, a college scholarship would come of it.
"It wasn't anything supposed to be like this," Tiafoe said Monday evening, hours after by far his biggest victory.
He is the youngest American man to get this far at the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick in 2006, but this was not a case of a one-sided crowd backing one of its own. Nadal is about as popular as it gets in tennis and heard plenty of support as the volume raised after the retractable roof was shut in the fourth set.
"It's something to tell the kids, the grandkids: 'Yeah, I beat Rafa,'" Tiafoe said with a big smile.
He served better than No. 2 seed Nadal. More surprisingly, he returned better, too. And he kept his cool, remained in the moment and never let the stakes or the opponent get to him. Nadal, a 36-year-old from Spain, had won both of their previous matches, and every set they played, too.
"Well, the difference is easy: I played a bad match and he played a good match," Nadal said. "At the end that's it."
This surprise came a day after Tiafoe followed along on TV as his pal Nick Kyrgios "put on a show" and eliminated No. 1 seed and defending champion Daniil Medvedev. That makes this the first U.S. Open without either of the top two seeded men reaching the quarterfinals since 2000, when No. 1 Andre Agassi exited in the second round and No. 2 Gustavo Kuerten in the first.
That was before Nadal, Novak Djokovic, who has 21 Grand Slam titles, and Roger Federer, who has 20, began dominating men's tennis. Djokovic, 35, did not enter this U.S. Open because is not vaccinated against COVID-19 and was not allowed to enter the United States; Federer, 41, has undergone a series of operations on his right knee and last played at Wimbledon last year.
Now come the inevitable questions about whether their era of excellence is wrapping up.
"It signifies that the years go by," Nadal said. "It's the circle of life."
Tiafoe now meets No. 9 Andrey Rublev, who beat No. 7 Cam Norrie 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 earlier Monday.
Other men's matches on Monday's schedule: 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic vs. No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz, and No. 11 Jannik Sinner vs. Ilya Ivashka.
The No. 1 woman, Iga Swiatek, moved into her first quarterfinal at Flushing Meadows by coming back to beat Jule Neiemeier 2-6, 6-4, 6-0.
"I'm just proud," Swiatek said, "that I didn't lose hope."
The 21-year-old from Poland will face another first-time U.S. Open quarterfinalist: No. 8 Jessica Pegula, the highest-ranked American woman, who advanced with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over two-time Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova.
Another women's quarterfinal will be two-time major finalist Karolina Pliskova against No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka.
Nadal won the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June. Then he made it to the semifinals at Wimbledon in July before withdrawing from that tournament because of a torn abdominal muscle.
Nadal competed only once in the 1 1/2 months between leaving the All England Club and arriving in New York, where he has won four trophies.
He tweaked his service motion, tossing the ball lower than he normally does so as not to put as much strain on his midsection. There were plenty of signs Monday that his serve was not in tip-top shape: nine double-faults, a first-serve percentage hovering around 50%, five breaks by Tiafoe.
Earlier in the tournament, he lost the first set of his first-round match. Did the same in the second round, when he also accidentally cut the bridge of his nose and made himself dizzy when the edge of his racket frame bounced off the court and caught him in the face.
Still, one Monday, Nadal appeared on the verge of turning things around when he broke early in the fourth set and went ahead 3-1.
Tiafoe told himself: "Stay in it. Stay with him."
That's tied to two key areas Tiafoe credits with helping make him a stronger player of late: an improved in-match mindset and a commitment to fitness.
"Rafa is there every point. I've been known to have some dips in my game at times, where it's like you're watching (and thinking), 'What's that?!'" Tiafoe said. "That was my thing, match intensity."
No concern now: He grabbed the last five games. The next-to-last break came for a 4-3 edge in the fourth set, when Nadal put a backhand into the net, and Tiafoe skipped backward toward the sideline for the ensuing changeover, his fist raised.
Fifteen minutes later, Tiafoe broke again, and it was over. This represents the latest significant step forward for Tiafoe, whose only previous trip to a Grand Slam quarterfinal came at the 2019 Australian Open — and ended with a loss to Nadal.
When one last backhand by Nadal found the net, Tiafoe chucked his racket and put his hands on his head. He looked toward his guest box in the stands — Mom, Dad, brother, girlfriend, Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal, others — then sat in his sideline chair and buried his face in a towel.
"It was just wild. My heart is going a thousand miles an hour. I was so excited. I was like: Let me sit down," Tiafoe said. "Yeah, I've never felt something like that in my life, honestly."

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — An activist said Monday he has again flown huge balloons carrying COVID-19 relief items and an anti-North Korea placard across the tense inter-Korean border, despite the North’s recent warning of a deadly attack over his activities.
Park Sang-hak, a North Korean defector-turned-activist, said the 20 balloons launched from a South Korean border town on Sunday carried 20,000 masks and tens of thousands of Tylenol and Vitamin C tablets.
He said one of the balloons carried a placard with a message that reads “Let’s eradicate Kim Jong Un and (his sister) Kim Yo Jong,” along with their photos. He said no other propaganda statements were carried by the balloons.
For years, Park has floated helium-filled balloons with numerous, small anti-Pyongyang leaflets with harsh criticism of the Kim family’s authoritarian rule in North Korea. But he’s recently changed his cargo to masks and other health products amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
North Korea is deeply angered by such activism and has made the highly questionable claim that leaflets, banknotes and booklets flown from South Korea caused the country’s COVID-19 outbreak this year. Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of the country’s leader, said last month that North Korea would respond by “wiping out the South Korean authorities” if “rubbish” continued to be flown from South Korea.
Days after Kim Yo Jong’s warning, a man wielding a steel pipe attacked Park at a rally in Seoul, breaking the activist’s arm.
Police said Monday the attacker was detained but didn’t immediately provide further details. Park said he believes North Korea has ordered pro-Pyongyang forces in South Korea to attack his group, a claim that cannot be independently confirmed.
In a failed assassination attempt in 2011, South Korean authorities captured a North Korean agent who tried to kill Park with a pen equipped with a poison needle.
North Korea is extremely sensitive to leafleting campaigns and other outside attempts to criticize the Kim family’s authoritarian rule of its people, most of whom have little access to foreign news. In 2014, North Korea fired at balloons flying toward its territory, and in 2020 it destroyed an empty South Korean-built liaison office in the North to express its anger over leafleting.
Last year, South Korea, under its previous liberal government that sought to improve ties with North Korea, enforced a contentious new law criminalizing civilian leafleting campaigns. Park still kept launching propaganda balloons, becoming the first person to be indicted over the law that punishes flying leaflets, USB drives or money into North Korea with up to three years in prison.
But Park’s trial has virtually been suspended after he filed a petition requesting the Constitutional Court to rule whether the new law is unconstitutional, according to Park’s lawyer, Lee Hun.
Opponents of the law say it’s sacrificing South Korea’s freedom of speech to seek improved ties with North Korea. But supporters say the law is aimed at avoiding unnecessarily provoking North Korea and promoting the safety of front-line South Korean residents.
Park faced separate police questioning over his balloon flights conducted before the law’s enforcement.
In March, he was handed a suspended fine of 3 million won ($2,190) for violating the law on donations. Prosecutors, citing a lack of evidence, had earlier decided not to indict him over other charges including an alleged violation of a law on inter-Korean cooperation. The suspended fine means Park doesn’t need to pay penalty unless he breaks law again and receives a prison sentence or bigger punishment during the one-year period, according to Lee, the lawyer.
Sunday’s balloon launches were Park’s fourth campaign to scatter medical relief items to North Korea. After his third launch in July, South Korean police said they were investigating his activities. On Monday, police weren’t immediately available for comment and Park said he hasn’t been contacted by police. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/ap-activist-floats-balloons-again-despite-north-koreas-warning/ | 2022-09-06T04:14:43Z | https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/ap-activist-floats-balloons-again-despite-north-koreas-warning/ | true |
Inside the vigilante ‘camera crusader army’ run by a teenage boy that claims it is saving Aussies from speeding fines
- Beau Jackson, 17, holds up makeshift signs to alert drivers of speed cameras
- He goes around NSW's Central Coast warning motorists about speed traps
- Beau has teamed up with a fellow road crusader to help drivers avoid fines
- In his latest TikTok video, they stood along a road in Charmhaven on Saturday
- Beau said a lot of cars supported them with one driver yelling 'Aussie legends'
A teenage boy is recruiting fellow speed camera haters to his 'army' to help Aussies avoid fines on the road.
Beau Jackson, 17, from NSW's Central Coast, has made a name for himself parking near mobile cameras with makeshift signs warning unsuspecting motorists about potential speed traps.
His outings are posted to his TikTok page, which has more than 70,000 followers, as well as on his Instagram.
In his latest TikTok video captioned 'The Camera Crusader Army is building,' Beau and fellow road crusader Joel were parked on the side of the road in the Central Coast suburb of Charmhaven on Saturday.
'Alright guys we're out here in Charmhaven, I'm with Joel, we are both collaborating next to each other,' Beau said.
They placed their makeshift signs on the back of their car and on the side of the road.
Beau Jackson (pictured right with A Current Affair reporter Brady Halls), 17, has made a name for himself parking near mobile cameras with makeshift signs warning unsuspecting motorists about potential speed traps across NSW's Central Coast
Beau and fellow fine crusader Joel (pictured) parked on the side of the road in the suburb of Charmhaven on Saturday to warn motorists about speed cameras positioned 50metres down the street
'You've also got a mobile phone camera right there getting you, but we are not warning people of that...we are warning people of the speed cameras at the bottom of the street 50 metres down there,' he said.
'As you can see Joel has got his OG binoculars so the cameras don't know we are here and he can keep an eye on them so they can't see us.'
'Can you see them mate?,' Beau asked Joel as he looked through his binoculars down towards the speed cameras.
'Yeah I can see them clear as crystal,' Joel replied.
Joel (pictured) had his special binoculars to keep an eye on the speed cameras
Viewers were also warned by Beau not to record him as they drove past because of the mobile phone camera.
Beau told Daily Mail Australia they spent hours helping drivers.
'We were positioned on the side of the road from 1.30pm-4pm,' he said.
'There were a couple thousand cars who drove past us during that period.
'Over those few hours, I'd say a lot of cars gave the shakas (a version of thumbs up) and yelled "Aussie legends" etc,' Beau said.
Viewers were also warned by Beau not to record him as they drove past because of the mobile phone camera (pictured)
Beau has 25 new 'Mobile Speed Camera Ahead' signs on the way, which he will be giving out to other people in NSW wanting to warn motorists of 'unfair' mobile speed cameras.
'They must commit to doing it as these signs are top quality,' Beau said.
He has checked with the police to ensure what he was doing wasn't illegal.
'They think I'm doing the community a service as I'm actually making people slow down,' he said.
This comes a few weeks after Beau was confronted by a 53-year-old man who was unimpressed with him standing on the side of the road with his signs.
'Get the f**k out of here,' the man is heard saying to the teenager who repeatedly told him 'don't touch me'.
'Who the f**k are you? It's illegal,' the older man continued.
'Get the f**king sign off,' the man yelled.
Footage then showed the man moving towards Beau, before the young man knocked him to the ground.
'I had to punch him guys. He was trying to attack me,' Beau said in the video, after telling the man he was putting the signs up to 'look after the community'.
'I'm a passive person, I'm known as a pacifist, I'm not a violent person, I tried to defuse the situation, but he kept coming at me and I had to defend myself,' Beau told A Current Affair.
'He kept saying it was illegal what I was doing even though it's not, the cops know it's not illegal, no one cares about it.'
Beau was confronted by a 53-year-old man who allegedly tried to attack him. Beau knocked him to the ground in 'self defence'
The man lay motionless for a brief moment as Beau quickly rang the police and an ambulance.
The 53-year-old then got up and fled the scene.
Beau said after showing police the video they deemed his actions were 'self defence', and asked which way the man walked off in.
'I was very polite. I told him to back off like 15 times and he wouldn't listen and I was starting to worry about my safety,' the 17-year-old said.
Police said the 53-year-old was charged with common assault and will face court at a later date. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11183133/Camera-crusader-army-TikTok-helping-Central-Coast-locals-avoid-speeding-fines.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-09-06T04:16:56Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11183133/Camera-crusader-army-TikTok-helping-Central-Coast-locals-avoid-speeding-fines.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Labor Day weekend travelers brave higher-than-usual prices
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - This Labor Day weekend, the roads were busy with millions of Americans driving to their holiday destinations. AAA estimates it to be the busiest Labor Day holiday in years.
“It’s definitely busier than I would expect it to normally be,” said Texas resident Ben Taylor.
The difference in Labor Day travel this year is prices at the pump. Triple A reports that just one year ago, the average price for a gallon of gas in Kansas was over 50 cents more than this year’s holiday, coming in at a Kansas average of $2.92/gallon.
Although the price increase, drivers say the higher gas prices that have been around for most of the year, has made them adapt to the higher costs.
“We actually took my fiancé's car because it gets better gas mileage than mine does. It is definitely more expensive than in the past. Thankfully as we get closer to Texas, the price does go down some so that’s a little bit better, but it’s definitely more expensive than usual,” Taylor said.
While the prices are higher compared to holidays in the past, travelers say they are just happy the prices are back down from earlier this summer when they hit an all-time high in Kansas at $4.67.
“It’s been a little more expensive with gas going up and everything but there’s definitely been a decrease from what it was earlier this summer,” traveler Joe Fleming said. “We went out to Wyoming in the middle of July and that sucked. That was expensive.”

Associated Press
WELDON, Saskatchewan (AP) — One of the suspects in the stabbing deaths of 10 people in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan has been found dead, and his injuries are not self inflicted, police said Monday as they continued the search for a second suspect.
Regina Police Chief Evan Bray said Damien Sanderson, 31, was found dead near the stabbing sites and they believe his brother, Myles Sanderson, 30, is injured, on the run and likely in the provincial capital of Regina. It was the first time police have identified the two as brothers.
“His body was located outdoors in a heavily grassed area in proximity to a house that was being examined. We can confirm he has visible injuries. These injuries are not believed to be self inflicted at this point,” said RCMP Commanding Officer Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, adding they were not sure of the exact cause of death yet.
Asked if Myles Sanderson was responsible for his brother’s death, Blackmore said police are investigating that possibility, but “we can’t say that definitively at this point in time.″
The discovery of the body came on the second day of a massive manhunt for the pair, who are suspected of carrying out a series of stabbings in an Indigenous community and a nearby town, which also left 18 people injured. It was one of the deadliest attacks in the nation’s history.
Authorities have said some of the victims were targeted and others appeared to have been chosen at random on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the town of Weldon in Saskatchewan. They have given no motive for the crimes— but senior Indigenous leaders suggested drugs were somehow involved.
James Smith Cree Nation resident Darryl Burns and his brother, Ivor Wayne Burns, said their sister, Gloria Lydia Burns, was a first responder who was killed while trying responding to a call. Burns said his 62-year-old sister was on a crisis response team.
“She went on a call to a house and she got caught up in the violence,” he said. “She was there to help. She was a hero.”
He blamed drugs and pointed to the colonization of Indigenous people for the rampant drug and alcohol use on reserves.
“We had a murder suicide here three years ago. My granddaughter and her boyfriend. Last year we had a double homicide. Now this year we have 10 more that have passed away and all because of drugs and alcohol,” Darryl Burns said.
Ivor Wayne Burns also blamed drugs for his sister’s death and said the suspect brothers should not be hated.
“We have to forgive them boys,” he said. “When you are doing hard drugs, when you are doing coke, and when you are doing heroin and crystal meth and those things, you are incapable of feeling. You stab somebody and you think it’s funny. You stab them again and you laugh.”
While authorities believe Myles is in Regina, about 335 kilometers (210 miles) south of where the stabbings happened, they have issued alerts in Canada’s three vast prairie provinces — which also include Manitoba and Alberta — and contacted U.S. border officials.
With one suspect still at large, fear still gripped communities in the rural, working class area of Saskatchewan surrounded by farmland that were terrorized by the crimes. One witness who said he lost family members described seeing people with bloody wounds scattered throughout the Indigenous reserve.
“No one in this town is ever going to sleep again. They’re going to be terrified to open their door,” said Ruby Works, who also lost someone close to her and is a resident of Weldon, which has a population of about 200 and is home to many retirees.
As the Labor Day holiday weekend drew to a close Monday, police urged Saskatchewan residents who were returning from trips away to look for suspicious activity around their homes before entering.
Arrest warrants have been issued for the pair of suspects and both men faced at least one count each of murder and attempted murder. More charges were expected.
Police have given few details about the men. Last May, Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers issued a wanted list that included Myles Sanderson, writing that he was “unlawfully at large.”
While the manhunt continued, police also issued a provincewide alert for suspects in a shooting on the Witchekan Lake First Nation. Officials said the shooting was not believed to be connected to the stabbings, but such alerts are unusual and the fact that a second occurred while authorities were already scouring the Saskatchewan for the stabbing suspects was notable.
The stabbing attack was among the deadliest mass killings in Canada, where such crimes are less common than in the United States. The deadliest gun rampage in Canadian history happened in 2020, when a man disguised as a police officer shot people in their homes and set fires across the province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. In 2019, a man used a van to kill 10 pedestrians in Toronto.
Deadly mass stabbings are rarer than mass shootings, but have happened around the world. In 2014, 29 people were slashed and stabbed to death at a train station in China’s southwestern city of Kunming. In 2016, a mass stabbing at a facility for the mentally disabled in Sagamihara, Japan, left 19 people dead. A year later, three men killed eight people in a vehicle and stabbing attack at London Bridge.
Police in Saskatchewan got their first call about a stabbing at 5:40 a.m. on Sunday, and within minutes heard about several more. In all, dead or wounded people were found at 13 different locations on the sparsely populated reserve and in the town, Blackmore said. James Smith Cree Nation is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from Weldon.
On Monday, Blackmore said police were still determining the motive, but on Sunday the chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations echoes suggestions the stabbings could be drug-related.
“This is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities, and we demand all authorities to take direction from the chiefs and councils and their membership to create safer and healthier communities for our people,” said Chief Bobby Cameron.
Blackmore said the criminal record of Myles Sanderson dates back years and includes violence.
The elected leaders of the three communities that make up the James Smith Cree Nation declared a local state of emergency.
Chakastaypasin Chief Calvin Sanderson — who apparently is not related to the suspects — said everyone has been affected by the tragic events.
“They were our relatives, friends,” Sanderson said of the victims. “It’s pretty horrific.”
Among the 10 killed was Lana Head, who is the former partner of Michael Brett Burns and the mother of their two daughters.
“It’s sick how jail time, drugs and alcohol can destroy many lives,” Burns told the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. “I’m hurt for all this loss.”
Burns later posted on Facebook that there were dead and wounded people everywhere on the reserve, making it look like “a war zone.”
“The look in their eyes couldn’t express the pain and suffering for all those who were assaulted,” he posted.
Weldon residents have identified one of the dead as Wes Petterson, a retired widower who made he coffee every morning at the senior center. He loved gardening, picking berries, canning, and making jam and cakes, recalled William Works, 47, and his mother, Sharon Works, 64.
“He would give you the shirt off his back if he could,” William Works said, describing his neighbor as a “gentle old fellow” and “community first.”
Sharon Works was baffled: “I don’t understand why they would target someone like him anyway, because he was just a poor, helpless little man, 100 pounds soaking wet. And he could hardly breathe because he had asthma and emphysema and everybody cared about him because that’s the way he was. He cared about everybody else. And they cared about him.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the flag above Canada’s parliament building in Ottawa would be flown at half-staff to honor the victims.
“Saskatchewanians and Canadians will do what we always do in times of difficulty and anguish, we will be there for each other,” Trudeau said.

Welcome to Second Guess Tuesday. Here are the rainy opinions du jour.

Welcome to Second Guess Tuesday. Here are the rainy opinions du jour.
Just because Wells chose to transfer to Virginia Tech from Marshall doesn’t make him a pariah. Or at least it shouldn’t. Yet some Thundering Herd fans gloated and reveled over the fact that Wells threw four interceptions in the defeat.
That is sad.
The majority of Marshall’s fans didn’t take part in this derogatory behavior, but more than a few took to social media to express their delight at Wells’ misfortune.
There’s no excuse for that.
At halftime in S.B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Virginia, four Virginia Tech assistant coaches got stranded in an elevator while attempting to reach the press box on the sixth floor of the stadium.
As a result, the start of the second half was delayed about 20 minutes. And that’s not all. It was at least the second time the elevator got stuck Friday. Some fans and media were marooned in the contrary elevator for about 30 minutes before the opening kickoff.
Talk about a home-field advantage.
Besides Wells’ four interceptions, besides the Hokies’ loss to in-state rival Old Dominion, and besides the battles with the elevator, Virginia Tech actually got robbed.
Not on the scoreboard, however.
Instead, it was in the locker room. Personal property was stolen from the Hokies’ locker room. Both Virginia Tech and Old Dominion released statements about the theft.
A statement released by Old Dominion said the school was working with Virginia Tech and the Old Dominion Police Department on “the theft of personal property of a few Virginia Tech student-athletes on Friday night.”
Long story short?
When the Hokies get robbed, they really get robbed.
Picking off Southern Cal and UCLA wasn’t enough, apparently. Now, the Big Ten is trying to dismantle the Pac-12 by also targeting five more schools.
The list, according to Brett McMurphy, includes Oregon, Washington and, most likely, Cal and Stanford. The fifth school? Who else? Notre Dame.
Hey, when the Big Ten goes fishing, it’s like Quint going after “Jaws.”
Bottom line?
Somebody is going to get eaten.

Marshall defensive lineman Owen Porter (55) scoops a fumble and takes it in for a score against Norfolk State on Saturday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington.

Marshall’s Owen Porter and Koby Cumberlander (32) celebrate after a sack by Cumberlander against Norfolk State during their matchup Saturday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
HUNTINGTON — Marshall defensive lineman Owen Porter walked into his post-game press conference holding the same football he carried into the north end zone during the second quarter of Marshall’s season opener.
“No, they aren’t getting this one back,” Porter said with a grin as he met with members of the media following a 55-3 win over Norfolk State on Saturday.
The last play in which that particular football was used Saturday ended with Porter in the end zone after he picked up a fumble and returned it 21 yards for a score.
The play was a familiar one for Porter and the Herd defense, who had seen similar looks in game film leading up to the contest and knew the best way to defend it. The defense executed that plan Saturday.
“We’d been watching it all week. They run this little pitch play where the quarterback tries to jab step and give a shake thinking I’m going to bite on the pitch, but I just sat there because it’s what we’ve gone over the whole week,” Porter said.
“He pitched it, I saw the running back try and reach back and he barely tipped the ball. (Jace) Bobo hit him and then either he or the running back was laying on the ground trying to swipe the ball, but I was already running (at it).”
It was the first touchdown of his collegiate career. He did return one other fumble for a potential score against Florida Atlantic during the 2020 season, but the play was called back due to a penalty and the touchdown was wiped off the board.
“For me, the touchdown game went away a long time ago. I stopped caring, kind of,” Porter said. “It’s super exciting.”
But what goes through a defensive lineman’s head when he sees a loose ball and attempts to recover it? On most plays like Porter’s touchdown, it’s not uncommon to see a player dive on the football versus trying to pick it up and run.
“I was thinking the whole time that I was going to bend down, pick it up and then someone was going to hit me in the back,” Porter said. “Then I was running and thought someone was going to tackle me, and nobody ever made it until I was about to cross the goal line.”
He was hit just inside the five-yard line and stumbled on to the new black turf in the endzone, the first defensive touchdown scored on it, but there were several other moments that excited Porter just as much from other members of the defense, like Koby Cumberlander’s 11-yard sack on the next defensive series.
“I’ve got two sisters. These guys are the closest thing to brothers that I’ll ever have,” Porter said. “I was more hype for Koby to get the sack on that play. We’ve been talking since January about who was going to get the first sack on the new turf — it was almost like a bet. I was ecstatic to see him get that first sack on the new field.”

ROCKFORD, Ill., Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Congressman, Don Manzullo (R-IL), knows about navigating the often tumultuous and stalemated U.S. Congress. In his new book, Do Nice Guys Run for Congress? How an Obscure, Country Lawyer Kept his Faith, Beat the Establishment, and Survived Twenty Years in Congress, Manzullo discusses how Americans can become more civil and reverse the dangerous trend in rejecting Democracy.
Relying on his faith and determination, Manzullo overcame political headwinds and a severe learning disability to help change the perception that members of Congress are corrupt and unable to work together. He offers a prescription for how to change that paradigm today.
"Unfortunately, we face a crisis in Congress, where hyper-partisanship supersedes rationality," Manzullo said. "It saddens me that today it is more important to grandstand and name call than create a dialog with those of opposite views. I challenged that acrimony and became known as a member of Congress who built bipartisan coalitions and changed laws, complex regulations, and government policies."
Current and former members of Congress praised Manzullo's book.
"A study of somebody fighting for victims of big government, while adding humor and an intensely personal perspective…an enjoyable read," said U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV).
"Don and I were the political odd couple of Illinois. While his friendly bipartisan style is missed in the halls of Congress, it comes alive on the pages of this book," added U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL.).
Manzullo is available for interviews and speaking opportunities. A 60 second video of the book is on https://youtu.be/T2s4_OQVlF0
BACKROUND: A graduate of American University and Marquette Law School, Don Manzullo practiced law for twenty-two years in northern Illinois. He served twenty years in Congress (1993-2013), where he chaired the Asia Subcommittee on Foreign Affairs and Small Business Committee and also served on the Financial Services Committee. He was President/CEO of Korea Economic Institute of America (2013-2018), and is an adjunct instructor, vice chair, and senior advisor of the Institute of Public Policy and World Affairs at Rockford University, Rockford, Illinois.

Caught on Camera: Rare religious statue stolen from the alter of Camden County church
GIBBSBORO, N.J. - Leaders of a New Jersey Catholic Church are asking for the return of a rare religious statue they say was stolen from the alter of their chapel last week.
Monsignor Louis Marucci, the pastor of St. Andrew the Apostle in Camden County, said the church's Our Lady of Fatima statue was swiped by a man around 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The Gibbsboro Police Department confirmed to they are searching for a man captured on surveillance video sneaking into the church and taking the meaningful statue.
The unknown suspect is seen on video emerging from the woods and peering into the church through a window.

- Boardwalk businesses thriving in busy post-COVID summer at the Jersey shore
- Police: Woman took money from man who was fatally struck by vehicle in Berks County
He then enters the chapel and makes sure the coast is clear before taking the 3.5 foot statue and walking out a side door.
Monsignor Marucci believes the thief has been to the church before and could be a local.
"They don’t exit the door they came in so obviously they knew parish and church," Marucci said. "It's incomprehensible that someone would actually take it out of its place of enthronement."
St. Andrew the Apostle's Our Lady of Fatima statue is one of just four in existence.
For Monsignor Marucci and the parish community, the statue - just one of four in existence - represents a unique and powerful connection to Jesus.
"The monetary value can't even hold a candle to the spiritual and symbolic significance of the image," Monsignor Marucci said.
The church planned for a statue to be front-and-center for this Thursday's all-day prayer event in honor of the blessed Virgin Mary's birthday.
"I will press charges because in my thought if an intentional crime - sin - needs to be punished," Monsignor Marucci said. "I'm just praying that it gets returned before Thursday, somebody knows where this person lives." | https://www.fox29.com/news/camden-county-church-pleading-for-return-of-stolen-rare-religious-statue | 2022-09-06T04:37:22Z | https://www.fox29.com/news/camden-county-church-pleading-for-return-of-stolen-rare-religious-statue | true |

Man survives 11 days floating on ocean in freezer
(CNN) - A Brazilian man floated in a freezer in the ocean for 11 days, surviving without food or water, before being rescued.
Romualdo Macedo Rodrigues told Record TV he was on a fishing trip in August when his boat sank off the coast of northern Brazil. As it went down, he saw the floating cooler and jumped inside.
“I was desperate. I thought my end was coming. But thanks God, God gave me one more chance,” he told Record TV.
Rodrigues said he had no food or water. At times, sharks surrounded him as he floated in the ocean.
But 11 days after his boat went down, a group of fishermen found Rodrigues off the coast of Suriname. He was treated at a hospital.
“I was born again. I thought I wouldn’t be telling this story, but I’m back here,” he said. “That freezer was God in my life. The only thing I had was the freezer. It was a miracle.”
Officials detained Rodrigues for a few days because he didn’t have proper documentation, but he is now back home with his family in Brazil.

Two blocked punts help No. 4 Clemson rout Georgia Tech
DJ Uiagalelei passed for one score and rushed for another to help No. 4 Clemson open the season with a 41-10 victory over Georgia Tech on Monday night in Atlantic Coast Conference play at Atlanta.
Will Shipley rushed for two touchdowns and Beaux Collins and Will Taylor each caught one as the Tigers defeated Georgia Tech for the eighth consecutive time. Uiagalelei completed 19 of 32 passes for 209 yards, while Carson Donnelly and Wade Woodaz each blocked a punt to set up Shipley's touchdowns.
Georgia Tech dropped its seventh straight game dating back to last season.
Jeff Sims was 23-of-36 passing for 164 yards with one touchdown and one interception for the Yellow Jackets. E.J. Jenkins caught a touchdown pass for Georgia Tech.
Andrew Mukuba had an interception for Clemson, which outgained the Yellow Jackets 386-237.
Georgia Tech was within 14-10 when Sims tossed a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jenkins with 9:47 remaining in the third quarter.
Clemson upped the lead to seven just over four minutes later when B.T. Potter kicked a 29-yard field goal.
Uiagalelei scored on a 9-yard keeper to make it 24-10 with 1:18 left in the quarter.
Potter added a 31-yard field to give the Tigers a 17-point lead with 8:45 remaining in the final frame.

It took Clemson four runs to get into the end zone with Shipley scoring on fourth down from the 1 with 9:53 remaining in the half.
The Tigers increased their lead to 14-0 when Collins caught a 6-yard touchdown pass with 3:52 left in the half. Georgia Tech got the board on Jude Kelley's 45-yard field goal with 1:15 to play.

One of the biggest strikes in US history is brewing at UPS
Over the past year, the nascent labor movements at mighty corporations like Starbucks and Amazon have grabbed national attention. But less well-known is a looming high-stakes clash between one of America's oldest unions and the world's biggest package courier.
Contract negotiations are set to begin in the spring between UPS and the Teamsters Union ahead of their current contract's expiration at the end of July 2023. Already, before the talks have even started, labor experts are predicting that the drivers and package handlers will go on strike.
"The question is how long it will be," said Todd Vachon, professor of Labor Relations at Rutgers. "The union's president ran and won on taking a more militant approach. Even if they're very close [to a deal], the rank and file will be hungry to take on the company."
If that happens, a strike at UPS would affect nearly every household in the country. An estimated 6% of the nation's gross domestic product is moved in UPS trucks every year. The explosive growth of online retail has made the company and its drivers more crucial than ever to the nation's struggling supply chain. Beyond the company's home deliveries, it also delivers many of the goods found in stores, factories and offices.
About 350,000 Teamsters work at UPS as drivers and package sorters out of a global workforce of 534,000 permanent employees. And that's growing fast — the company has added some 72,000 Teamster-represented jobs since the start of the pandemic.
While there are competing services at FedEx, the U.S. Postal Service and Amazon's own delivery service, none of them have the capacity to handle more than a small fraction of the 21.5 million U.S. packages that UPS moves daily.
"We want a contract that provides wins for our employees and that provides UPS the flexibility to stay competitive in a rapidly changing industry," the company said in a statement this month. "UPS and the Teamsters have worked cooperatively for almost 100 years to meet the needs of UPS employees, customers, and the communities where we live and work. We believe we'll continue to find common ground with the Teamsters and reach an agreement that's good for everyone involved."
The union has not gone on strike against UPS since a nearly two-week protest in 1997. If the union does go on strike, it would be the largest strike against a single business in nation's history.
Anger over current contract
There are certainly signs of strain in relations between the company and the union — both its leadership and its rank-and-file members.
A majority of members voted against ratifying the current contract in 2018, only to see the previous Teamster leadership, led by then-President James Hoffa, put it in place because not enough of the membership participated in the ratification vote to trigger a strike.
The union's new president, Sean O'Brien, won his office earlier this year by making the UPS contract a central focus of his campaign. He has vowed to make UPS pay Teamster members far more this time and he often talks about a $300 million strike fund the union has accumulated to pay members in case they go on strike.
"Do our members wake up every day wanting a strike. I'd say no. But are they fed up? Yes they're fed up," O'Brien told CNN Business last week. "Whether or not there is a strike, that's totally up to the company. We're going to utilize as much leverage as we can to get our members the contract they deserve."
UPS said the average pay for its delivery drivers is $95,000 a year, with benefits such as a traditional pension plan, worth an additional $50,000 a year. UPS' semi-tractor drivers are paid even more. That's far higher than most wages at FedEx and Amazon, where many drivers work for small independent contractors.
The current contract expires at 12:01 am on Aug. 1. O'Brien vows the union will not grant any kind of contract extension past that deadline.
And he added that on top of improved pay and benefits, the union will demand better working conditions, including adding air conditioning in the panel trucks used for UPS deliveries which the union says poses a health risk for drivers.
"It's not a heavy lift for the company to install air conditioning," he said. "There's a lot of heat stroke going on."
Record profits at UPS
The company often speaks about how much it values its Teamster-represented workforce.
And in one important way — employment numbers — UPS is one of the best friends labor has in the ranks of U.S. corporate management, despite the obvious tensions. UPS is one of the few unionized employers that is significantly adding payrolls, and to union membership. At other businesses, union membership numbers have been steadily declining or decades.
The increase in Teamsters jobs at UPS has come from the steady growth in online purchases, especially during the pandemic-era surge. Last year, it took only nine months to report what was already a record profit for a full year. UPS ended 2021 with operating income up 50% to $13.1 billion. In the first half of this year, earnings rose another 10% compared with a year ago.
"Everyone keeps getting richer except for our members," said O'Brien.
UPS CEO Carol Tome, who started that job just as the pandemic began, says that the company's union contract is a competitive advantage at a time of worker shortages.
She also is trying to assure both investors and UPS customers that the company will be prepared in case the union does go on strike. She declined to comment on what those preparations are.
"Our goal with the Teamsters is win-win-win," she told investors in July. But she added that UPS is "building contingency plans." | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/biggest-strikes-us-history-brewing-ups/41082544 | 2022-09-06T05:14:18Z | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/biggest-strikes-us-history-brewing-ups/41082544 | true |
NEW YORK — Frances Tiafoe's vision was blurry from the tears. He was thrilled — overwhelmed, even — when the last point was over and it hit him that, yes, he had ended Rafael Nadal's 22-match Grand Slam winning streak on Monday (Tuesday, Manila time) and reached the US Open quarterfinals for the first time.
"I felt like the world stopped," Tiafoe said. "I couldn't hear anything for a minute."

Then Tiafoe found himself "losing it in the locker room" when he saw that NBA superstar LeBron James gave him a Twitter shoutout.
"Bro," Tiafoe said, "I was going crazy."
What meant the most to Tiafoe about his 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over 22-time major champion Nadal in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows, though, was looking up in his Arthur Ashe Stadium guest box and knowing his parents, Constant and Alphina, were there.
"To see them experience me beat Rafa Nadal — they've seen me have big wins, but to beat those 'Mount Rushmore' guys? For them, I can't imagine what was going through their heads," said Tiafoe, a 24-year-old American seeded 22nd at the US Open. "I mean, they're going to remember today for the rest of their lives."
His parents both emigrated to the US from Sierra Leone in West Africa amid its civil war in the 1990s. They ended up in Maryland, where Constant helped construct a tennis training center for juniors, then became a maintenance man there; Alphina, Frances said, was "a nurse, working two jobs, working overtime through the nights." Frances and his twin brother, Franklin, were born in 1998, and soon would be spending hour upon hour where Dad's job was, rackets in hand.
Maybe one day, went the dream, a college scholarship would come of it.
"It wasn't anything supposed to be like this," Tiafoe said Monday evening, hours after by far his biggest victory.
Frances Tiafoe next meets No. 9 Andrey Rublev.
He is the youngest American man to get this far at the US Open since Andy Roddick in 2006, but this was not a case of a one-sided crowd backing one of its own. Nadal is about as popular as it gets in tennis and heard plenty of support as the volume raised after the retractable roof was shut in the fourth set.
"It's something to tell the kids, the grandkids: 'Yeah, I beat Rafa,'" Tiafoe said with a big smile.
He served better than No. 2 seed Nadal. More surprisingly, he returned better, too. And he kept his cool, remained in the moment and never let the stakes or the opponent get to him. Nadal, a 36-year-old from Spain, had won both of their previous matches, and every set they played, too.
"Well, the difference is easy: I played a bad match and he played a good match," Nadal said. "At the end that's it."
This surprise came a day after Tiafoe followed along on TV as his pal Nick Kyrgios "put on a show" and eliminated No. 1 seed and defending champion Daniil Medvedev. That makes this the first US Open without either of the top two seeded men reaching the quarterfinals since 2000, when No. 1 Andre Agassi exited in the second round and No. 2 Gustavo Kuerten in the first.
That was before Nadal, Novak Djokovic, who has 21 Grand Slam titles, and Roger Federer, who has 20, began dominating men's tennis. Djokovic, 35, did not enter this US Open because is not vaccinated against COVID-19 and was not allowed to enter the United States; Federer, 41, has undergone a series of operations on his right knee and last played at Wimbledon last year.
Now come the inevitable questions about whether their era of excellence is wrapping up.
"It signifies that the years go by," Nadal said. "It's the circle of life."
Tiafoe now meets No. 9 Andrey Rublev, who beat No. 7 Cam Norrie 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 earlier Monday.
Other men's matches on Monday's schedule: 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic vs. No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz, and No. 11 Jannik Sinner vs. Ilya Ivashka.
The No. 1 woman, Iga Swiatek, moved into her first quarterfinal at Flushing Meadows by coming back to beat Jule Neiemeier 2-6, 6-4, 6-0.
"I'm just proud," Swiatek said, "that I didn't lose hope."
The 21-year-old from Poland will face another first-time U.S. Open quarterfinalist: No. 8 Jessica Pegula, the highest-ranked American woman, who advanced with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over two-time Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova.
Another women's quarterfinal will be two-time major finalist Karolina Pliskova against No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka.
Nadal won the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June. Then he made it to the semifinals at Wimbledon in July before withdrawing from that tournament because of a torn abdominal muscle.
Nadal competed only once in the 1 1/2 months between leaving the All England Club and arriving in New York, where he has won four trophies.
He tweaked his service motion, tossing the ball lower than he normally does so as not to put as much strain on his midsection. There were plenty of signs Monday that his serve was not in tip-top shape: nine double-faults, a first-serve percentage hovering around 50%, five breaks by Tiafoe.
Earlier in the tournament, he lost the first set of his first-round match. Did the same in the second round, when he also accidentally cut the bridge of his nose and made himself dizzy when the edge of his racket frame bounced off the court and caught him in the face.
Still, one Monday, Nadal appeared on the verge of turning things around when he broke early in the fourth set and went ahead 3-1.
Tiafoe told himself: "Stay in it. Stay with him."
That's tied to two key areas Tiafoe credits with helping make him a stronger player of late: an improved in-match mindset and a commitment to fitness.
"Rafa is there every point. I've been known to have some dips in my game at times, where it's like you're watching (and thinking), 'What's that?!'" Tiafoe said. "That was my thing, match intensity."
No concern now: He grabbed the last five games. The next-to-last break came for a 4-3 edge in the fourth set, when Nadal put a backhand into the net, and Tiafoe skipped backward toward the sideline for the ensuing changeover, his fist raised.
Fifteen minutes later, Tiafoe broke again, and it was over. This represents the latest significant step forward for Tiafoe, whose only previous trip to a Grand Slam quarterfinal came at the 2019 Australian Open — and ended with a loss to Nadal.
When one last backhand by Nadal found the net, Tiafoe chucked his racket and put his hands on his head. He looked toward his guest box in the stands — Mom, Dad, brother, girlfriend, Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal, others — then sat in his sideline chair and buried his face in a towel.
"It was just wild. My heart is going a thousand miles an hour. I was so excited. I was like: Let me sit down," Tiafoe said. "Yeah, I've never felt something like that in my life, honestly."

ROCKFORD, Ill., Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Congressman, Don Manzullo (R-IL), knows about navigating the often tumultuous and stalemated U.S. Congress. In his new book, Do Nice Guys Run for Congress? How an Obscure, Country Lawyer Kept his Faith, Beat the Establishment, and Survived Twenty Years in Congress, Manzullo discusses how Americans can become more civil and reverse the dangerous trend in rejecting Democracy.
Relying on his faith and determination, Manzullo overcame political headwinds and a severe learning disability to help change the perception that members of Congress are corrupt and unable to work together. He offers a prescription for how to change that paradigm today.
"Unfortunately, we face a crisis in Congress, where hyper-partisanship supersedes rationality," Manzullo said. "It saddens me that today it is more important to grandstand and name call than create a dialog with those of opposite views. I challenged that acrimony and became known as a member of Congress who built bipartisan coalitions and changed laws, complex regulations, and government policies."
Current and former members of Congress praised Manzullo's book.
"A study of somebody fighting for victims of big government, while adding humor and an intensely personal perspective…an enjoyable read," said U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV).
"Don and I were the political odd couple of Illinois. While his friendly bipartisan style is missed in the halls of Congress, it comes alive on the pages of this book," added U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL.).
Manzullo is available for interviews and speaking opportunities. A 60 second video of the book is on https://youtu.be/T2s4_OQVlF0
BACKROUND: A graduate of American University and Marquette Law School, Don Manzullo practiced law for twenty-two years in northern Illinois. He served twenty years in Congress (1993-2013), where he chaired the Asia Subcommittee on Foreign Affairs and Small Business Committee and also served on the Financial Services Committee. He was President/CEO of Korea Economic Institute of America (2013-2018), and is an adjunct instructor, vice chair, and senior advisor of the Institute of Public Policy and World Affairs at Rockford University, Rockford, Illinois.
The book is published by Westbow Press, ISBN: 978-1-6642-4590-7 (sc), ISBN: 978-1-6642-4592-1 (hc), ISBN: 978-1-6642-4591-4 (e) Price: eBook, $9.99; softcover $19.95, hardcover $35.9

NEW DELHI (AP) — Bangladesh’s prime minister was welcomed to India with a ceremony in the capital, New Delhi, on Tuesday during a four-day visit aimed at boosting bilateral ties.
Sheikh Hasina shook hands with her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Presidential Palace, and officials said the two leaders later in the day are expected to discuss deals on connectivity, energy, food security, and trade.
In Bangladesh, her visit is being seen as politically significant as it comes ahead of general elections next year. Hasina, who has maintained a warm relationship with India since becoming prime minister in 2009, will push to bolster investment and trade as well as make progress on long-standing issues such as water-sharing of common rivers, observers say.
Over the weekend, Bangladesh’s foreign minister told reporters that the two countries are likely to ink seven agreements covering science and technology, water management, and information and broadcasting.
“We hope the visit will be very successful. It will help achieve our goals,” Dr AK Abdul Momen was quoted as saying by The Daily Star newspaper.
The relationship between the neighbors is crucial, with India being Bangladesh’s largest trading partner in South Asia. While China is involved in almost all major infrastructure development schemes in Bangladesh, India is also more eager to take up joint projects.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh runs a significant trade imbalance with India, an issue that may be discussed during Hasina’s visit. In the fiscal year 2021-22, Bangladesh imported goods worth around $14 billion from India while exports to its neighboring country ran lower at $1.8 billion, according to official figures. Authorities and trade bodies often blame tariff and non-tariff barriers as well as anti-dumping obstacles imposed by India for the low exports.
Another priority for Hasina may be to make progress on agreements for water sharing of the Teesta River, a major transboundary river that begins in India’s Sikkim state and runs through the north of West Bengal state before flowing into Bangladesh.
For decades, there was no movement on this issue until 2011 when India agreed to share waters during the lean season, between December and March — but the deal never went through due to strong opposition from the West Bengal state’s chief minister, Mamata Banerjee.
When Modi visited Bangladesh last year, he reiterated India’s commitment to conclude this agreement but the impasse has dragged on.
Hasina last visited India in 2019, when she and Modi agreed on the need to boost efforts to facilitate the safe return of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees who fled violence in Myanmar and have since taken refuge in Bangladesh.
On Monday, the Bangladeshi prime minister met with Indian industrialist Gautam Adani, who recently became the world’s third-richest person, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index. She also spoke with India’s foreign minister and will call on the vice president and president while in New Delhi before leaving for the Indian city of Jaipur on Thursday.

Chris Wilder was a happy man after watching Middlesbrough grind out a derby victory over Sunderland.
Wilder had admitted in the run-up to the game that he had been left scratching his head that Boro’s performances to date had not yielded more Sky Bet Championship points, and he was delighted with the fact, rather than the manner, of his side’s 1-0 win at the Riverside Stadium on Monday evening.
The Boro boss said: “One of the things I quite like and I use to the players – I’m not sure that they really grasp what I’m saying, maybe the intelligent ones in our group, which obviously isn’t many, but I say it to the unintelligent ones, which we’ve got quite a few of – there’s no picture on a golf scorecard.
“It was a really competitive game, chances at both ends, first half possibly more chances for us; Sunderland, no doubt, dominated the second half.
“The two objectives for us tonight were a clean sheet, and that gives you an opportunity of getting a win. We got that clean sheet. However we did it, we just needed to do it.”
The game was settled by Riley McGree’s 25th-minute strike, although Boro might have won more comfortably had it not been for Black Cats goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, who denied Rodrigo Muniz and substitute Duncan Watmore twice late on.
Sunderland were left blunted by a thigh injury to leading scorer Ross Stewart in the warm-up and were rarely able to trouble home keeper Liam Roberts despite enjoying a healthy share of possession.
New head coach Tony Mowbray admitted he had been forced to tear up his game plan after the late reshuffle.
Mowbray, who also lost defender Dennis Cirkin to a second-half hamstring injury, said: “It was a tight game. I thought we probably did enough not to lose it, and yet we did.
“The fact we lost Ross right at the end of the warm-up, we had to try to re-adjust everything we’d worked on for two or three days in a two-minute chat.
“You’re asking the lads to almost forget about all the stuff we’d just done for two days and go and play a different game. That’s not meant to be an excuse, it’s just the reality of it, losing your talisman who’s scoring the goals and looking a real threat every game.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3665014/chris-wilder-pleased-to-see-middlesbrough-get-over-the-line-against-sunderland/ | 2022-09-06T05:37:26Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3665014/chris-wilder-pleased-to-see-middlesbrough-get-over-the-line-against-sunderland/ | false |
Amit Sial tops the list of actors, who have been welcomed by an ever-increasing number of audiences worldwide. Over time, the delectable display of his craft in Inside Edge, Mirzapur, Jamtara, A Simple Murder, Kathmandu Connection and Maharani, stirred up the audiences to sit up and take notice. Amit says, “The dilemma was not to repeat playing a politician in Jamtara as I am one in Maharani too. The only way to conquer that was to stick to the person Brajesh Bhan and not just the politician Brajesh Bhan or the actor Amit Sial. And only then I could eradicate all possibilities of repeating an earlier act.” He adds, “Any creative process such as Jamtara is a product of a collective experience and incredible efforts of hundreds of people.” | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/lifestyle/amit-sial-on-being-a-part-of-jamtara-2-429088 | 2022-09-06T05:51:12Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/lifestyle/amit-sial-on-being-a-part-of-jamtara-2-429088 | true |

The U.N. refugee agency rushed in more desperately needed aid Monday to flood-stricken Pakistan as the nation's prime minister traveled to the south where rising waters of Lake Manchar pose a new threat.
Two UNHCR planes touched down in the southern port city of Karachi and two more were expected later in the day. A third plane, with aid from Turkmenistan also landed in Karachi. While the floods in recent weeks have touched much of Pakistan, the southern Sindh province, where Karachi is the capital, has been the most affected.
More than 1,300 people have been killed and millions have lost their homes in flooding caused by unusually heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan this year that many experts have blamed on climate change. In response to the unfolding disaster, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres last week called on the world to stop “sleepwalking” through the crisis. He plans to visit flood-hit areas on Sept. 9.
On Sunday, engineers cut into an embankment in the sides of Lake Manchar in an effort to release rising floodwater to save the city of Sehwan and several nearby villages from possible destruction by flooding waters, which have damaged 1.6 million houses since mid-June.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif was met by Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto in the city of Sukkur on the swelling Indus River, from where they toured the flood-hit areas by helicopter. Murad Ali Shah, the province's chief minister, briefed Sharif about the damages caused by floods in Sindh.
Pakistan Coverage:
Floods have affected more than 3.3 million in this Islamic nation of 220 million and the devastation has caused $10 billion in damage, according to government estimates. The provinces of Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been the most affected and the majority of people killed were women and children.
Last week, the United States announced $30 million in aid for Pakistani flood victims. On Monday, two members of Congress, Sheila Jackson Lee and Tom Suzy, met with Pakistani officials and visited some of the stricken areas, the government said.
Pakistani President Arif Alvi at a ceremony in Islamabad awarded the country's second highest award to Jackson Lee, who along with Suzy and U.S. embassy officials met with Prime Minister Sharif, according to a government statement. It said Sharif told the members of Congress that despite being one of the lowest emitters of carbon emissions, Pakistan was facing the brunt of climate change.
The statement said Lee conveyed her “deepest sympathies" for flood victims and said Congress and the Biden administration would support Pakistan “in the wake of this colossal challenge.”
Flood waters were receding in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan provinces, but the situation was alarming across Sindh province. Hundreds were leaving the district of Jaffarabad after their homes were flooded.
“Our homes are right now inundated," said Khadim Khoso, 45, recounting how he waded through chest-high water. He said he and his family left their home once the floodwaters brought in the snakes.
“No government help has reached here," he said. However, authorities say they are doing their best to deliver aid to flood victims.
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan also visited some of the flood-hit areas in Sindh on Monday, including the city of Sukkur. Last week, he drew government criticism for addressing a series of antigovernment rallies at a time of a flooding emergency for Pakistan.
Afghan refugees living in Pakistan have also been affected by the floods. Pakistan has hosted millions of Afghans fleeing the violence in their country over the past four decades and currently has about 1.3 million registered Afghan refugees.
More than 420,000 Afghan refugees are estimated to be in the worst-affected areas in Pakistan, living side by side with their host communities.
Also Sunday, UNICEF delivered relief supplies, including medicines and water-purifying tablets, as part of the U.N. flash appeal for $160 million to support Pakistan's flood response. UNICEF is also appealing for $37 million for children and families.
“The floods have left children and families out in the open with no access to the basic necessities of life,” said Abdullah Fadil, UNICEF's representative in Pakistan.
Planes carrying aid from other countries are also expected later Monday in response to an appeal from Sharif, who has appealed to the international community to help Pakistan.
With the two UNHCR planes, 38 planes have brought in aid from countries including China, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan.
