(The Conversation) – When people talk about how college athletes can now get paid from their name, image and likeness – more commonly referred to as “NIL” – the focus is often on players at schools with big-time sports programs.
This makes sense given the sheer size of some of the NIL deals that have been scored as of late by players who attend the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division I schools, which tend to have larger student bodies and big budgets to support their athletic programs.
For instance, Paige Bueckers, star guard on the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team, stands to earn more than $1 million through deals with Gatorade and other companies.
University of Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is reportedly worth $3.2 million thanks to deals with Nissan, Dr. Pepper and the Dollar Shave Club, to name a few.
Even college cheerleaders are getting in on the action. After Cassidy Cerny, a cheerleader for Indiana University, was hoisted to retrieve a basketball that had gotten stuck behind the backboard during a March Madness game, a viral video of the episode led to a deal with Breaking T, a T-shirt company that produces shirts that capture moments in sports. The company immortalized the moment on a T-shirt. Cerny says she got about 15% – or $4.50 – per shirt.
With all the hype surrounding lucrative endorsement deals for athletes at Division I schools, it’s easy for people to get the impression that players at smaller schools – and community colleges in particular – could be left behind in what is now known as the “NIL era.”
But a study I did recently with Anita Moorman, a fellow professor of sport administration, suggests that’s not necessarily the case.
In an article we published in the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, we concluded that community college athletes can earn an estimated $48 per sponsored post on Instagram. Of course, that amount pales in comparison to the multimillion-dollar deals secured by some Division I athletes. But when you consider the fact that community college students often struggle to meet their basic needs, enabling those who are athletes to earn $48 by posting on Instagram seems a worthy endeavor to pursue.
The math behind the money
In order to arrive at our $48 figure, we had to come up with a way to calculate how much each player should get paid for each sponsored Instagram post.
To make our estimate, we didn’t look only at how many Instagram followers each player had. We also looked at how many “likes” and comments their posts generated.
We used a formula that basically takes into account how many followers an athlete has, as well as how many likes and comments the posts generate, and how much a company was willing to pay for those things. To figure out the part about how much a company is willing to pay, we took a look at the going rates.
Of the 23,248 athletes competing in the California Community College Athletic Association during the 2019-2020 athletic season, we found 1,168 athletes – or about 5% – who had public Instagram profiles with at least 1,000 followers. We treated these athletes as potential social media influencers and applied standard influencer marketing rates to figure out how much money they could make for each sponsored post on Instagram.
We figured that companies would be willing to pay $10 to reach 1,000 people.
Economic struggles
Based on our calculations, we found 11 community college athletes with an earnings estimate over $200 per sponsored post. An average male community college athlete could earn about $47 per post. And our calculations show that the average female athlete could earn $51 per sponsored Instagram post – $4 more than the men. This difference is driven by the ability of female athletes to generate more engagement on their Instagram posts.
Overall, almost 93% of the athletes in our sample had an NIL value estimate between $20 and $100 per sponsored post.
This is just a fraction of the average NIL value of a sponsored Instagram post for a Division I athlete, which is over $500. Still, every dollar counts, especially when you’re a community college student.
For the most part, community college athletes don’t get athletic scholarships.
Community college students commonly experience financial hardships that lead to a range of issues, including food and housing insecurities.
For those reasons, enabling community college athletes to profit from endorsements would put some in a better position to meet their basic needs while in school.
In order for community college students to reap the potential benefits of NIL deals, at least a couple of things need to happen.
Education is needed
First, community college athletes would benefit from greater access to education resources that can help them learn the ins and outs of NIL deals. This includes education on financial literacy, time management, personal brand development, contract negotiation and a host of other topics.
Since community colleges typically have less money than four-year colleges, we think it would be helpful if the athletic associations that govern sports at community colleges would provide these educational resources to the schools and their athletes, rather than leaving it to the schools to secure these resources on their own.
Some steps have already been taken in this regard. For instance, the California Community College Athletic Association announced a partnership with two companies – Spry and Accelerate – to provide all member institutions with NIL education. Spry is a company that provides a technology platform to help schools track and monitor NIL deals. Schools have an interest in tracking NIL deals to make sure they comply with athletic association policy, institutional policy and state law. Accelerate is a company that offers educational resources focused around NIL topics.
The National Junior College Athletic Association announced a similar partnership with Opendorse on August 17, 2022.
A bigger voice
Community college athletes are not typically included in the national NIL discussion. Congressional witness lists show that community college students are seldom, if ever, invited to congressional hearings on NIL issues.
Inviting community college students to the table would help broaden the scope of the discussion.
Although California amended its NIL legislation to grant community college athletes the same NIL rights afforded to their peers at four-year institutions, active NIL legislation in five other states – Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas – still contains language that expressly or implicitly excludes community college institutions. This shows that not all states are on the same page when it comes to granting community college athletes access to endorsement deals.
With all the Division I students who are capitalizing off endorsement deals, this is one of the most exciting times to be a college athlete. One estimate projected college athletes would earn almost $579 million during the 2021-2022 school year.
Another estimate suggests NIL earnings will increase to over $1.14 billion during the 2022-2023 school year.
It’s clear that Division I students will profit tremendously from NIL deals. The question for community college athletes is whether they’ll be able to profit, too, or whether they will be relegated to the sidelines. | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/community-college-athletes-could-earn-48-per-instagram-post-under-the-right-conditions/ | 2022-09-10T18:38:03 | en | 0.971867 |
(NerdWallet) – Bringing a child into your family is a big decision, emotionally and financially. The process can be long and cost anywhere from less than $1,000 to more than $50,000. Here’s a breakdown of the different ways you can grow your family through adoption — and how much you could expect to spend.
How much does adoption cost?
The cost of adoption depends on the type of adoption you pursue. As you consider how you might want to move forward, keep in mind there are several ways to pay for adoption, from fundraisers and grants to personal loans.
Public agency adoption
How it works: Adopting children through the public welfare system often means beginning as a foster parent. Each state has its own agency, which oversees licensing, education, placement and support for adoptive families.
What it costs: Adoption from foster care is a low-cost option for parents. Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the Children’s Bureau under the federal Office of the Administration for Children and Families, characterizes foster care adoption as “virtually free of cost.” The majority of foster adoptions cost less than $1,000, according to the most recent Adoptive Families magazine adoption cost survey conducted in 2016-17.
This path to adoption is inexpensive because of state and federal adoption assistance programs put in place to make it more accessible and appealing to adopt children who are in foster care. These children are often older and may have experienced trauma or have special needs.
Helpful resource: The Children’s Bureau offers a state-by-state guide to adoption assistance.
Private adoption
How it works: Parents can work with an adoption agency or attorney to find and adopt children in the U.S. Generally, the process of adopting a child is similar whether you work through a private agency or independently with the help of an attorney. It involves a home study, placement, counseling, training and legal documentation.
What it costs: The cost of a private adoption varies. Working with an agency, you can expect to spend between $30,000 and $60,000, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway. It’s slightly less expensive to pursue an independent adoption, which involves working with an attorney. That process ranges in cost from $25,000 to $45,000. Private adoptions are more likely to involve newborns. That means in addition to paying for the adoption process, you would also cover the birth mother’s medical and other expenses.
Intercountry adoption
How it works: This path involves working with private or public adoption agencies in countries outside the United States. The process and fees vary by country and depend on the organization you work with, which could be a government office, agency, orphanage, nonprofit or an individual like an attorney. Some aspects of the process are unique. You’ll have to work through the immigration process, including applying for passports and travel visas, and navigate foreign legal systems. The road can be long. Child Welfare Information Gateway estimates intercountry adoption can take one to five years to complete.
What it costs: On average, intercountry adoption costs $20,000 to $50,000.
Expenses that may arise when adopting a child
Home study
A home study marks the beginning of the adoption process.
During a home study, prospective parents — and their family members — are checked out to make sure they would provide a safe and loving place for a child. A home study requires you to produce documents, including financial statements, employment records and a letter from your doctor about your latest physical. You’d also undergo background checks and interviews. This evaluation phase can cost from $2,000 to $4,000, according to The Gladney Center for Adoption, an adoption agency based in Fort Worth, Texas. That price may be adjusted based on your family’s income.
This step in the process also includes education and training. Some of it may be provided by the state agency that administers the home study at a cost ranging from $300 to $600. Additional hours of training are likely required and would be done on your own through books or online courses, which can cost $100 to $200 per person.
Lastly, during the home study, you’ll agree to a post-placement reporting phase. In the United States, a social worker visits the family multiple times over a six-month period after the child has been placed in the home. Fees for post-placement reporting can range from $1,500 to $2,000.
Search fees
When working with a private agency or an attorney, a major expense in the process goes to searching for and getting matched with a birth mother. Fees for a consultant and advertising may be rolled into an adoption agency’s overall fee. But if you’re pursuing an independent adoption, you’ll likely pay for these services separately and costs can range more widely, depending on how and where you want to advertise. The Gladney Center estimates consulting and advertising can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for an independent adoption.
Birth mother expenses
People adopting a newborn will be responsible for paying the birth mother’s expenses. This can include medical bills and some living expenses, as well as counseling, legal fees and travel. The Gladney Center estimates these expenses can cost between $6,000 and $8,000 for parents pursuing a private adoption.
Legal fees
There are a lot of legal requirements in adoption, including terminating the rights of the birth parents, court filings, negotiating birth mother expenses and finalizing the adoption after the post-placement reporting period. An adoption agency may roll some of these expenses into its overall fee.
If you’re pursuing an independent adoption, legal fees will be the bulk of your expenses, costing between $7,000 and $15,000.
Travel
Travel costs can crop up for domestic adoptions, though they’re most significant in intercountry adoptions. Distance is a key factor in how much you’ll pay for travel. Another is time. You might be waiting days or weeks for the final legal approval to bring a child home, especially when crossing state lines or country borders.
For private domestic adoptions, you could pay up to $3,000 in travel expenses, according to the Gladney Center. (You could look at getting a travel credit card to offset some of those expenses.)
Estimates vary for intercountry adoption-related travel. The cost can depend on the country where the child is living and the organization you’re working with. In a cost estimate on its website, New Beginnings — an international adoption agency based in New York — says the adoption of a child in South Korea could include $6,000 to $9,000 in travel expenses. The Child Welfare Information Gateway advised in a September 2020 intercountry adoption guide that adoptive parents are often required to be in the child’s country to finalize the adoption. It may require multiple, extended visits.
Raising a child
Adoption in itself can be a long and expensive process, but that’s only a precursor to the full cost of raising a child. New parents should budget for those expenses, which can top $21,000 in the first year alone. | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/how-much-does-it-cost-to-adopt-a-child/ | 2022-09-10T18:38:09 | en | 0.952885 |

(WTRF/NEXSTAR) – Passengers flying with Spirit Airlines erupted in applause after a nurse helped save a baby who stopped breathing on a recent flight, video from the plane shows.
The incident, which unfolded on a flight from Pittsburgh to Orlando, was first reported by Ian Cassette, a meteorologist for Orlando news outlet WOFL. Cassette was also a passenger on the flight, where he captured video of the relieved passengers.
On Twitter, Cassette explained that the 3-month-old baby’s parents were “terrified” when the child stopped breathing. Luckily, nurse Tamara Panzino was also on the flight, and reportedly massaged the baby’s chest and legs until she started breathing again, according to WOFL.
In the video, the baby can even be seen smiling after the incident.
“We thank our crew and Guest for the quick response,” a representative for Spirit Airlines said in a statement shared with Nexstar.
“Our Flight Attendants are trained to respond to medical emergencies onboard and utilize several resources, including communicating with our designated on-call medical professionals on the ground, using onboard medical kits, and receiving assistance from credentialed medical professionals traveling on the flight.”
It’s unclear what caused the infant to stop breathing, though her parents indicated that they had never experienced any similar incidents in the past, according to Cassette. | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/nurse-on-spirit-airlines-flight-helps-save-baby-who-stopped-breathing/ | 2022-09-10T18:38:15 | en | 0.964146 |

(NEXSTAR) — How clean are the air and water in your state?
Using 2021 data, U.S. News and World Reports’ feature on the “Best States” has ranked U.S. states on several metrics, including economics, education and health care. The listing also measures natural environment, which is based on a state’s air/water quality and pollution levels.
Pollution was determined based on air and water emissions from industry and utilities, and overall measures to long-term human health effects, using information from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Below are the most polluted (no. 50-40) and least polluted (no. 10-1) in U.S. News’ Pollution Rankings.
States with the worst pollution
50. Louisiana
49. Nevada
48. Indiana
47. Delaware
46. Utah
45. Ohio
44. Oregon
43. Tennessee
42. Illinois
41. Alabama
40. Texas
Louisiana ranks dead last, coming in as the most-polluted state in the U.S., according to EPA information.
A January 2022 study by Tulane University found very high incidences of cancer in Louisiana, the second-highest in the U.S. At least 85 cancer cases per year in the state were due to exposure to high levels of air pollution, the study found. Authors included data for neighborhoods in an area between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which is locally known as “Cancer Alley.”
The state of Nevada ranks as the second-most polluted state, according to EPA information. Just last year, Nevada ranked among the “unhealthiest” states for air quality in the American Lung Association’s State of the Air report.
At that time, Melissa Ramos, manager of the Nevada ALA’s Clean Air Advocacy, said the Classic Car loophole was partly to blame for the state’s high emissions. Under the state’s Classic Vehicle Insurance policies, vehicles bearing certain license plates are exempt from emissions testing. Some tightening of the laws on classic vehicles is coming Jan. 1, 2023, however.
The least polluted states
10. Idaho
9. Colorado
8. Maine
7. Rhode Island
6. California
5. Wyoming
4. New Mexico
3. South Dakota
2. New Hampshire
1. Vermont
The state of Vermont is aware of its relatively good bill of health.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources writes that “Vermont’s air quality is considered to be among the best in the nation.” The agency notes, however, that Vermont’s air is not pollutant-free.
Interesting: Even though California ranks sixth among the least polluted states, many of its cities rank among America’s most polluted. Research from the American Lung Association ranked cities by ozone pollution, year-round particle pollution, and short-term particle pollution. California areas that ranked in the ALA’s top 10 most polluted cities in all three pollution categories include Los Angeles-Long Beach, Bakersfield, Fresno-Madera-Hanford, and Sacramento-Roseville.
Pollutants
Six common air pollutants identified and regulated by the EPA are carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also called “particulate matter”), and sulfur oxides. Other air pollutants include asbestos, fuel oils and kerosene, and benzene. | https://cw33.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/the-10-most-polluted-states-in-the-us/ | 2022-09-10T18:38:21 | en | 0.937293 |

(NEXSTAR) – The National 9/11 Museum & Memorial has a special place for “sky blue.”
In recent years, the 9/11 Museum & Memorial has encouraged buildings across New York City to light up their rooftops or facades in remembrance of those who were killed during the attacks on September 11. Specifically, the city’s iconic buildings will be illuminated in a striking sky blue — a color that holds special significance for the organization, and the city as a whole.
Sky blue, or “Memorial Blue” as the color is also referred to, symbolizes the city’s (and the world’s) general perception of the sky in the morning just prior to the attacks. In fact, the cloudless skies above NYC on 9/11 had been described as what pilots and meteorologists call “severe clear,” meaning visibility conditions were seemingly infinite, according to the National 9/11 Museum & Memorial.
This year, dozens of iconic buildings, landmarks and institutions will again be partaking in the “Tributes in Light” event, itself an extension of the longstanding (and perhaps more recognizable) “Tribute in Light” art installation in Lower Manhattan, which form two columns of white light shining up the heavens.
Sky blue, too, is also a prominent feature of one of the museum’s most visually arresting installations, titled “Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning.” Found inside museum’s Memorial Hall, the piece is comprised of 2,983 watercolor squares — representing each of the lives lost on Sept. 11 and the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center — showcasing different hues of blue to symbolize our memories of the sky on the morning of September 11, 2001.
“Our own perception of the color blue might not be the same as that of another person,” the museum explains of the different hues in the piece, created by artist Spencer Finch. “However, just like our perception of color, our memories share a common point of reference.”
The Museum is also encouraging folks to “Remember the Sky” by sharing photos of the sky to social media on Sept. 11, to help ensure that younger generations never forget the significance of the date.
“Through creating a shared moment of active remembrance together, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum aims to help spur conversation on social media platforms and elsewhere that can serve as a bridge between memory and history for the tens of millions of young people who did not live through that day that changed our world forever,” the museum has written of the campaign.

TORONTO (AP) — Marsha Hunt, one of the last surviving actors from Hollywood’s so-called Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s who worked with performers ranging from Laurence Olivier to Andy Griffith in a career disrupted for a time by the McCarthy-era blacklist, has died. She was 104.
Hunt, who appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, died Wednesday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, said Roger Memos, the writer-director of the 2015 documentary “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity."
A Chicago native, she arrived in Hollywood in 1935 and over the next 15 years appeared in dozens of films, from the Preston Sturges comedy “Easy Living” to the adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” that starred Olivier and Greer Garson.
She was well under 40 when MGM named her “Hollywood’s Youngest Character Actress.” And by the early 1950s, she was enough of a star to appear on the cover of Life magazine and seem set to thrive in the new medium of television when suddenly “the work dried up,” she recalled in 1996.
The reason, she learned from her agent, was that the communist-hunting Red Channels publication had revealed that she attended a peace conference in Stockholm and other supposedly suspicious gatherings. Alongside Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Danny Kaye, Hunt also went to Washington in 1947 to protest the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was conducting a witch hunt for communists in the film industry.
“I’d made 54 movies in my first 16 years in Hollywood,” Hunt said in 1996. “In the last 45 years, I’ve made eight. That shows what a blacklist can do to a career.”
Hunt concentrated on the theater, where the blacklist was not observed, until she began occasionally getting film work again in the late 1950s. She appeared in the touring companies of “The Cocktail Party,” “The Lady’s Not for Burning” and “The Tunnel of Love,” and on Broadway in “The Devil’s Disciple,” "Legend of Sarah″ and “The Paisley Convertible.”
Marcia Virginia Hunt (she changed the spelling of her first name later) was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City, daughter of a lawyer-insurance executive and a voice teacher. Slender and stylish, with a warm smile and large, expressive eyes, Hunt studied drama and worked as a model before making her film debut.
An early marriage to director Jerry Hopper ended in divorce. In 1948 she married film writer Robert Presnell Jr., and they had one daughter, who died soon after her premature birth. Her husband died in 1986.
Hunt's first movie was 1935′s “The Virginia Judge.” She went on to play demure roles in a series of films for Paramount, including “The Accusing Finger” and “Come on Leathernecks,” but, as she told The Associated Press in 2020, she was tired of “sweet young things” and begged for more substantial work.
Hollywood proved a painful education. In “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity,” she remembered almost getting the part of Melanie Wilkes in “Gone with the Wind,” even being assured by producer David O. Selznick. Within days, Olivia de Havilland was announced as the actor who would play Melanie for the 1939 epic.
“That’s the day I grew up,” Hunt said in the documentary. “That’s the day I knew I could never have my heart broken again by this profession of acting.”
She left Paramount for MGM around the time of “Gone with the Wind” and had lead or supporting roles in “These Glamour Girls,” “Flight Command” and “The Human Comedy” among other movies.
“MGM was sheer magic,” she recalled in a 2007 Associated Press interview. “When I arrived at the studio for a one-day role, they parked my car. I went on the set and found a director’s chair with a sign on it, ‘Miss Hunt.’ Another sign was on my dressing room.
"I said to myself, ‘Any studio that treats a one-day player that way, really knows how to make pictures.’ They won my loyalty.”
Work unraveled quickly after she openly embraced liberal causes, such as joining the 1947 protest against congressional hearings on the reputed communist influence in Hollywood.
“I was never a communist or even interested in the communist cause,” she declared in 1996. “I was a political innocent defending my industry.”
With a couple of exceptions, such as producer Stanley Kramer’s 1952 family comedy “The Happy Time,” she was unseen on the big screen for most of the 1950s. She later appeared in many TV series, including “My Three Sons,” “Matlock,” “All in the Family” and “Murder, She Wrote.”
She remained vigorous and elegant in old age. In 1993, she put out “The Way We Wore: Styles of the 1930s and ’40s and Our World Since Then,” a lavishly illustrated book of the fashions during her Hollywood heyday.
A lifelong political activist, Hunt had a brush with terror in 1962 when she took part in a forum on right-wing extremists and two other participants’ homes were damaged by homemade bombs the very same evening.
“The ashen-faced actress said her home probably escaped the bomb attack only because the terrorists were unable to find out where she lived,” the Los Angeles Times reported. Police were sent to guard her home.
More recently, she helped create a refuge for the homeless in Los Angeles’ Sherman Oaks neighborhood, where she lived and was feted with the title honorary mayor.
Looking back on her activist years, Hunt remarked in 1996: “I never craved an identity as a figure of controversy. But having weathered it and found other interests in the meantime, I can look back with some philosophy.”

Comic Kunal Kamra's show in Gurugram cancelled after Bajrang Dal objects

The show of Kunal Kamra that was scheduled to be held on September 17 was cancelled after Bajrang Dal complained to the management regarding the stand-up comedian, accusing him of making jokes about a particular religion. This comes after Vishwa Hindu Parishad's (VHP) demand to cancel Kamra's show saying that he makes jokes about Hindu deities which may lead to a tense situation in the district.
The organiser of the show said that the management took the decision to cancel the show not to hurt the religious sentiments of anybody. "Some people from Bajrang Dal came to us and complained regarding comedian Kunal Kamra who had earlier made jokes about a particular religion. Therefore management decided to cancel the show as we can't hurt anybody's religious sentiments and values," he said.
Earlier, the VHP on Friday submitted a letter to the Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram to cancel a show of Kunal Kamra. It also said that the members of the VHP and Bajrang Dal will stage protests if the show is not cancelled.
In the letter given to the Deputy Commissioner, the VHP said, "A show is being organized in Studio Xo Bar on 17th September 2022 by Kunal Kamra. This person mocks Hindu Gods and Goddesses in his comedy shows. There are cases already registered against this person for the same. Therefore, this program can cause tensions in Gurugram. We request you cancel this show with immediate effect otherwise the VHP workers and the Bajrang Dal activists will protest against this. Therefore, we request you cancel this program immediately and share the information of the proper action with us." Meanwhile, taking to Twitter, VHP spokesman Vinod Bansal shared the letter and said, "VHP today gave a letter to the Deputy Commissioner Gurugram to cancel the show of anti-Hindu Kunal Kamra scheduled in Gurugram on 17th of this month. These hatemongers must be booked under penal provisions of law. Can't be allowed to perform in public. The Gurugram police should take action."
He further said that it is necessary to boycott and oppose such Hindu traitors. "By adopting cheap tactics in the name of freedom of expression, such people are out to kill art. Hindu community will not forgive them," he said.
"How can the blatant ridicule of the symbols of Hindu pride be part of an art or culture? The Hindu community is tolerant, but not cowardly. The Hindu community knows well how to deal with such alleged artists in a democratic manner," Bansal added. He further urged Haryana police to immediately take cognizance of this matter and announce the cancellation of the program, otherwise, the Hindu society will be forced to protest.
Kamra was scheduled to perform at Studio Xo Bar in Sector 29 of Gurugram. (ANI)

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A sexual assault complaint has been filed against Puerto Rico pop star Ricky Martin, who recently sued his nephew over what he said were false allegations of sexual abuse.
The complaint was filed Friday at a police precinct in the capital of San Juan, police spokesman Edward Ramírez told The Associated Press on Saturday. Information including who filed the complaint and details of the allegations are not public, given the nature of the complaint.
A person who was not authorized to speak about the case confirmed that Martin’s nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sánchez Martin, filed the complaint. The person said the complaint does not automatically trigger an arrest because the alleged incident is not recent, adding that police will investigate and determine whether charges are warranted.
Sánchez previously requested a restraining order against Martin in July, but a judge later archived the case after Sánchez admitted under oath that he had never been sexually assaulted by the singer.
Flavia Fernández, a spokeswoman for Martin, told the AP that his legal team is evaluating the situation and not issuing public comment for now.
On Thursday, the artist’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against his nephew, whom they described as “troubled.” They accused him of extortion, malicious persecution, abuse of law and damages.
They said Sánchez’s allegations cost Martin at least $10 million worth of canceled contracts and projects, plus another $20 million in damages to his reputation.
The lawsuit states that Sánchez would send up to 10 messages a day to Martin, the majority “meaningless diatribes without any particular purpose.” It also accuses him of publishing Martin’s private number, forcing him to change it.
In addition, the lawsuit said Sánchez falsely claimed he had a romantic relationship with Martin for seven months and that the singer didn’t want it to end and would call Sánchez with frequency.
“Nothing further from the truth,” the lawsuit stated.
Attorneys also noted that a judge previously issued Sánchez two restraining orders in an unrelated stalking case. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/entertainment/article/Puerto-Rico-star-Ricky-Martin-faces-sexual-17432559.php | 2022-09-10T18:39:44 | en | 0.978468 |

LONDON (AP) — The death of Queen Elizabeth II set in motion a tightly choreographed series of ceremonial and constitutional steps, as Britain undergoes a period of national mourning and enters the reign of King Charles III.
A long-established 10-day plan, code-named Operation London Bridge, covers arrangements for the queen's final journey to London and state funeral. Here is a look at what will happen in the coming days:
Saturday, Sept. 10

Sunday, Sept. 11

'The Great Waldo Pepper' star Bo Brundin passes away at 85
Bo Brundin, a Swedish actor widely known for playing a despondent German World War I pilot alongside Robert Redford in the action adventure movie The Great Waldo Pepper, has passed away. He was 85.
- Country:
- United States
Bo Brundin, a Swedish actor widely known for playing a despondent German World War I pilot alongside Robert Redford in the action adventure movie The Great Waldo Pepper, has passed away. He was 85. A representative for Paar Productions informed The Hollywood Reporter that Brundin passed away on Sunday in his native Uppsala, Sweden. Starlight, a 2011 short film in which he played God, was one of the actor's final ventures for the business.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Max Von Sydow would play Brundin in the classic 1957 film adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. Brundin also had a brief part as a political prisoner in Jerry Lewis' infamous never-released 1972 comedy The Day the Clown Cried. Throughout his acting career, Brundin frequently played Germans and Russians. He also made appearances on the big screen in the X-rated films Around the World With Fanny Hill (1974), Shoot the Sun Down (1978), Meteor (1979), and Raise the Titanic (1979), where his tragic character plays a crucial role in saving the world (1980).
Additionally, Brundin played Harold Jordache, an uncle of the brothers played by Nick Nolte and Peter Strauss, in the renowned 1976 ABC miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man. George Roy Hill co-wrote and directed The Great Waldo Pepper for Universal Pictures in 1975, and Brundin played Ernst Kessler, a disillusioned German pilot who is now working as a stuntman in a biopic of his life. In the climactic climax of the film, he and Redford's Waldo engage in an extremely intense dogfight that leaves both of them respecting the other.
"It was a little scary because there was a real crash just about an hour before I went up for the first time," Brundin recalled in a 2015 interview. "I saw the crash, and [stuntman] Frank Tallman had his forehead split. It took three weeks in the hospital. ... We used the Tiger Moth plane, which was a great plane except it's a little clumsy. It's like a little elephant in the air." Paul Newman ran his Oscar campaign that year, according to the Paar Productions spokesperson.
Brundin joined the Poor People's Theater, directed by actress Trish Van Devere, appeared on an episode of ABC's N.Y.P.D. from 1968 to 1970, starred in A Baltic Tragedy, and played a deranged killer in the horror movie The Headless Eyes that gouges out the eyes of young women (1971). In addition to Rich Man, Poor Man, Brundin also made appearances on The Bionic Woman, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Hawaii Five-O, Wonder Woman, Manimal, The A-Team, Dallas, and Falcon Crest. Brundin also starred in three more 1970s miniseries, The Rhinemann Exchange, The Word, and Centennial.
Strawberries With Real Milk was his most recent Swedish film (2001). In 2013, he relocated back to his native country, where he spent the remainder of his life coaching aspiring actors. (ANI)

'Snow White' remake reveals first look, Gal Gadot to play 'Evil Queen'
With Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot in the lead roles, Disney has given fans their first glimpse at its live-action 'Snow White' remake.
- Country:
- United States
With Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot in the lead roles, Disney has given fans their first glimpse at its live-action 'Snow White' remake. At the D23 Expo on Friday, Disney's live-action 'Snow White' remake gave fans their first glimpse of Rachel Zegler playing the first-ever Disney princess.
According to Variety, the 30-second teaser opened with the Evil Queen's iconic question to her magic mirror. Snow White dons her signature costume in the footage, which ends with her dropping the poisoned apple. Stars Zegler and Gal Gadot were on hand to tease the film. "I didn't even see it! I didn't see what you guys saw!" Zegler said in tears.
"There's such an emphasis on what it meant to be the fairest of them all," she later said, referring to the movie's opening line. "It was very different from anything I've ever done before. I'm used to playing the other end of where the heart should be," Gadot added.
The live-action 'Snow White,' a musical adaptation of the well-known Brothers Grimm fairy tale, is very similar to 1937's 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' Disney's debut motion picture and the first ever fully animated feature film. The plot centres on Zegler's Snow White, a stunning young princess who was orphaned at a young age and is now living with her vile stepmother, the Queen (Gadot). The Queen launches a series of murderous plots after her magic mirror declares that Snow White is more beautiful than she is. Snow White is ultimately forced to abandon their castle and seek safety with seven dwarfs who live in the woods. Along with Zegler and Gadot, the movie also features Tony Award-winning actor Andrew Burnap as Snow White's love interest and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor Martin Klebba as one of the seven dwarfs in the role of Grumpy. Zegler spoke about the racist hate she received from fans who are upset that a Latina is playing Snow White in the live-action movie. The casting of the live-action movie has drawn some criticism.
In addition, Disney's reworking of the movie drew public criticism from actor Peter Dinklage, who called it a "f***ing retrograde" portrayal of individuals with dwarfism. In response to Dinklage's remarks, the production firm stated that they sought advice from the dwarfism community to "avoid reinforcing prejudices" that were prevalent in the original animated picture. Marc Webb, best known for directing '500 Days of Summer' and the Andrew Garfield 'Amazing Spider-Man' movies, is behind the camera for 'Snow White.' The remake's new songs were written by 'Dear Evan Hansen' and 'Greatest Showman' songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, while the script was written by Erin Cressida Wilson and 'Lady Bird' director Greta Gerwig.
The movie is directed by Webb, while Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures handles distribution. Aside from 'Snow White,' additional Disney live-action remakes in the works are 'The Little Mermaid' in 2023, 'Peter Pan & Wendy' on Disney+, and the rumoured 'Hercules' and 'Lilo & Stitch' projects.

'Paper Girls' cancelled by Prime Video after one season
Amazon Prime Video has canceled 'Paper Girls' after one season.
- Country:
- United States
Amazon Prime Video has cancelled 'Paper Girls' after one season. According to Variety, in collaboration with Plan B, Amazon Studios and Legendary Television created the television show. It is based on the Image Comics series of the same name, which was written by Brian K. Vaughan, illustrated by Cliff Chiang, and sold in graphic book form.
'Paper Girls' begins in the early morning hours after Halloween 1988, when four newspaper delivery girls Erin (Riley Lai Nelet), Mac (Sofia Rosinsky), Tiffany (Camryn Jones), and KJ (Fina Strazza) are out on their route when they become caught in the crossfire between warring time-travelers, changing the course of their lives forever. In order to return to the past after being transported into the future, they must find a method to confront their adult selves along the road. They are being pursued by the Old Watch, a violent group of time travellers who have banned time travel in order to maintain their hold on power, while they come to terms with the truth that their futures are far different from what their 12-year-old selves had anticipated. In order to survive, the girls must to overcome their differences and learn to trust each other and themselves.
Season 1 debuted to positive reviews, with Variety chief film critic Caroline Framke praising the lead performances and nothing that the series "embraces the adrenaline rush of a wild goose chase through time and space, but is often at its best in the quieter moments of human connection." The project received a series order from Prime Video in July 2020. In collaboration with Plan B, the series is produced by Amazon Studios and Legendary Television. The TV show was conceived by Stephany Folsom, who also serves as executive producer alongside Plan B, Christopher C. Rogers, Christopher Cantwell, Vaughan, Chiang, and Plan B. (ANI)

King Charles proclaimed monarch, queen's funeral on Sept. 19
Charles, 73, immediately succeeded https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/process-by-which-charless-accession-throne-is-formalised-2022-09-08 his mother but an Accession Council met at St James's - the most senior royal palace in the United Kingdom built for Henry VIII in the 1530s - to proclaim him as king on Saturday. The council - formed of Privy Counsellors whose centuries-old role has been to advise the monarch - included his son and heir William, wife Camilla and Britain's new prime minister, Liz Truss, who signed the proclamation of his accession.
The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth will be held on Monday, Sept. 19, royal officials said on Saturday, as her son Charles was officially proclaimed Britain's new king in a colourful ceremony laden with pageantry and dating back centuries.
The death of the 96-year-monarch has provoked tears, sadness and warm tributes, not just from the queen's own close family and many Britons, but also from around the world - reflecting her presence on the world stage for 70 years. "We all thought she was invincible," said her grandson Prince William https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/prince-william-pledges-support-king-charles-every-way-he-can-2022-09-10, now the heir to the throne.
"It's been surreal," he said during a walkabout outside Windsor Castle where he and his wife Kate appeared closely in public for the first time in two years with his younger brother Harry and his wife Meghan - a sign Elizabeth's death might help heal a rift between Charles' sons. Elizabeth's oak coffin, covered with the royal standard of Scotland and with a wreath of flowers on top, has been lying in the ballroom of Balmoral Castle, her summer home in Scotland where she died peacefully on Thursday.
On Sunday, it will be driven by hearse https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/plans-run-up-queen-elizabeths-funeral-2022-09-10 through remote highland villages to Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, during a six-hour journey that will allow people to pay their respects.

The death of Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, has prompted an outpouring of emotion around the globe. Buildings and landmarks in Europe, America and Africa have been lit up in the red, white and blue of the United Kingdom's flag. Charles, 73, immediately succeeded https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/process-by-which-charless-accession-throne-is-formalised-2022-09-08 his mother but an Accession Council met at St James's - the most senior royal palace in the United Kingdom built for Henry VIII in the 1530s - to proclaim him as king on Saturday.
The council - formed of Privy Counsellors whose centuries-old role has been to advise the monarch - included his son and heir William, wife Camilla and Britain's new prime minister, Liz Truss, who signed the proclamation of his accession. Six former prime ministers, senior bishops and a swathe of politicians cried out "God Save The King" as the announcement was approved.
"I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty which have now passed to me," Charles https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/challenges-facing-britains-new-king-charles-2022-09-10 said. "I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set." Later, on the Proclamation Gallery, a balcony above Friary Court of St James's Palace, the Garter King of Arms, David White, accompanied by others in gold and red heraldic outfits read out the Principal Proclamation, as trumpets sounded.
Soldiers in traditional scarlet uniforms shouted "hip, hip, hurrah" as White called for three cheers for the king. Watching on were a few hundred people allowed into the court, including small children on parents' shoulders, a woman clutching flowers and elderly people on mobility scooters.
ROYAL POMP Charles is the 41st monarch in a line that traces its origins to the Norman King William the Conqueror who captured the English throne in 1066. Saturday's events reflected proclamations announcing new kings and queens that date back hundreds of years.
He became king and head of state not only of the United Kingdom but of 14 other realms including Australia, Canada, Jamaica, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. It was the first proclamation of a monarch to be televised. And for most Britons, it was the first such event in their lifetime as Elizabeth was the only monarch they have ever known. Charles himself was just 3 when she became queen in 1952.
Britain has declared a period of mourning until the state funeral for Elizabeth, which will be a public holiday. Leaders from around the world are expected to attend, including U.S. President Joe Biden, who said he would be there. Charles' coronation will take place at a later date - and the timing for that is not yet clear. There was a 16-month gap between Elizabeth becoming queen and her coronation in 1953.
He has already made his eldest son William, 40, the new Prince of Wales, the title traditionally held by the heir to the throne, and William's wife Kate becomes Princess of Wales, a role last held by the late Princess Diana. The couple had a highly public falling out with Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, after they decided to exit royal duties and move to California in 2020.
Harry and Meghan coincidentally happened to be in Britain this past week to attend some charity events and had not even been expected to see William - until the death of their grandmother. However, the foursome stood together and chatted briefly, although they looked rather awkward and did not spend much time together during the 40-minute walkabout in Windsor, which followed an invitation from William to his brother.
It was an important show of unity at an incredibly difficult time for the family, a royal source said. 'VERY EMOTIONAL'
Meanwhile at Balmoral, the queen's three younger children - Anne, Andrew and Edward - and their own families also made a public appearance, visiting a nearby church before they inspected the messages among the flowers and thanked the crowd for their support. Princess Eugenie, one of Prince Andrew's daughters, was seen wiping away tears and hugging her father.
"It was a very emotional moment, it was very heartfelt," said Ian Smith, a local businessman who was at the front of the barriers. "It was really special that they came to acknowledge us and we could show them our support." Elizabeth, who was the world's oldest and longest-serving head of state, came to the throne following the death of her father King George VI on Feb. 6, 1952, when she was just 25.
Over the decades she witnessed a seismic change in the social, political and economic structure of her nation. She won praise for modernising the monarchy during her long reign, despite intense media scrutiny and the often highly public travails of her family.

Prince Harry, Meghan join William and Kate on Windsor walkabout
The two sons of King Charles, once so close after the death of their mother Diana in a Paris car crash in 1997, have fallen out in recent years after Harry and Meghan gave up their royal titles to move to the United States. The couple had been in Britain on a brief visit when the queen, Britain's longest reigning monarch, died on Thursday.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan joined William and wife Kate on a walkabout among crowds near Windsor Castle on Saturday following the death of their grandmother Queen Elizabeth, raising the prospect of a rapprochement between the brothers. The two sons of King Charles, once so close after the death of their mother Diana in a Paris car crash in 1997, have fallen out in recent years after Harry and Meghan gave up their royal titles to move to the United States.
The couple had been in Britain on a brief visit when the queen, Britain's longest reigning monarch, died on Thursday. Like other senior members of the royal family, Harry rushed to be by the queen's side as she deteriorated at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and a spokesperson for the heir to the throne said an invitation for the Windsor walk had been extended by William.
A royal source described it as an important show of unity at an incredibly difficult time for the family. They emerged from the same car, all wearing black. The two couples did not interact much during the 40 minute walkabout near one of the queen's favourite English homes, as they stopped to read messages left among the flowers, and shake hands and chat with the thousands of people lining the Long Walk.
At one point Meghan was hugged by a woman in the crowd while others stretched to shake hands and talk to the four royals in the early evening. William spent some time bending down chatting to children, while Kate and Harry accepted flowers and messages of encouragement from those in the crowd. Royal observers had been looking for signs of a detente amid the pomp and ceremony of a period of national mourning and Elizabeth's state funeral.
On Friday Charles used his first address to the nation as king to express his "love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas". He also bestowed on William and daughter-in-law Kate the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales, which he and his late wife Diana previously held.
William was heard telling one well-wisher that the days following the queen's death had been "so surreal". "We all thought she was invincible," he said.
Under royal rules, the monarch's grandchildren are automatically eligible to become princes or princesses of the realm, so now that Harry's father Charles is king, his children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, can receive those titles. Lilibet was named after the queen's childhood nickname. It is not clear whether they will take the titles.
"At the moment we're focused on the next 10 days. As and when we get information, we will update the (royal) website," a spokesperson for Charles told reporters.

Switzerland says area near Germany to be proposed for nuclear waste site
A news conference will be held on Monday to announce the proposed location, she added. "This is only an announcement of where they (Nagra) would like to build," Zuend said, adding the BFE was overseeing the process.
- Country:
- Austria
An area of northern Switzerland near the border with Germany will be proposed as the site for a planned deep-underground nuclear waste site on which construction is due to start in 2045, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (BFE) said on Saturday. The so-called deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste has yet to be approved by the government and parliament, a process that will take years.
The company behind the project, the National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra), set up by nuclear power plant operators and the government, plans to propose the area of northern Laegern, north of Zurich and near the border with Germany, BFE spokesperson Marianne Zuend said. A news conference will be held on Monday to announce the proposed location, she added.
"This is only an announcement of where they (Nagra) would like to build," Zuend said, adding the BFE was overseeing the process. "All the details will have to be elaborated now by Nagra to be put into the official demand that they will submit in about two years' time to the authorities."

Principal Scientific Advisor, Government of India, Prof A K Sood, highlighted the need for adequate investment in research and development from the private sector.
"Some states have received substantial foreign direct investment, and some like Karnataka and Uttarakhand have made exemplary efforts in some areas like One Health Mission," he pointed out while explaining the impact of closer linkages between the centre and states. Showcasing the effort by DST to strengthen the State Startup Ecosystem, Secretary, DST Dr S. Chandrasekhar said, "DST has supported startup incubation centres in places like Hyderabad and Vadodara."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate International Dairy Federation World Dairy Summit (IDF WDS) 2022, being organised at India Expo Centre and Mart, Greater Noida, on September 12 at around 10.30 am. According to the Prime Minister's Office, the four-day-long IDF WDS 2022 being held from September 12 to 15, is a congregation of global and Indian dairy stakeholders including industry leaders, experts, farmers and policy planners centring around the theme of 'Dairy for Nutrition and Livelihood'.
Around 1,500 participants from 50 countries are expected to participate in IDF WDS 2022. The last such Summit was held in India about half a century ago in 1974. "The Indian dairy industry is unique in the sense that it is based on a cooperative model that empowers small and marginal dairy farmers, especially women. Driven by the vision of the Prime Minister, the government has taken multiple steps for the betterment of the dairy sector resulting in an increase of milk production by more than 44 per cent in the last eight years," said the PMO.
"The success story of the Indian dairy industry, accounting for about 23 per cent of global milk, producing around 210 million tonnes annually, and empowering more than 8 crore dairy farmers, will be showcased at the IDF WDS 2022. The summit will also help Indian dairy farmers to gain exposure about the global best practices," it added. (ANI)

The hall is constructed at a cost of Rs.4,61,57,000. Union Minister also planted a sapling on the premises.
Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan said that there should be pride in our literature, art, philosophy and education. He said that the national education policy will help prepare a future-ready generation. Union Education Minister also spoke about the rich and ancient history of Vadnagar and said that Vadnagar has been a vibrant centre of knowledge spiritual splendour, civilization and culture.
Speaking about National Education Policy, he further said that the NEP has the potential to make the new generation global citizens. Speaking about the role of citizens, he said that every citizen has to play a key role in building a New India -- a clean, healthy and prosperous nation. Everyone performing their duties would pave the way for a better neighbourhood, better society, and ultimately, a better country, he further added.
Speaking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his connection to Vadnagar, he said that it is the beauty of this land that someone who was brought up in this land is now the leader of the country and a global leader. Navodaya Vidyalaya Committee, Ministry of Education, Government of India allocated Rs.4,61,57,000 in December 2017 to construct a multi-purpose building (multi-purpose hall) for Jawahar Navodaya School, Vadnagar, District Mehsana.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also visited the primary school where PM Narendra Modi pursued his elementary education. The Gujarat government is converting the centuries-old school into a 21st-century 'Prerna Kendra' with a focus to provide inspiration to the next generations.
Together with the Chief Secretary of Gujarat and senior officials of the Government of Gujarat, the Minister viewed a presentation on the master plan of 'Prerna Kendra'. He appreciated the Gujarat government's ideas to establish the vernacular school into a 21st-century modern temple of learning. Pradhan suggested including certificate courses in leadership and other civilisational aspects of Vadnagar with a unique curriculum and pedagogy. Going forward 'Prerna Kendra' may also transform into a civilisational university/centre for higher learning.
Joint workshops with Education Ministry will be a good beginning to showcase the rich civilisational journey of Vadnagar. With over 3000 years of history under its soil, Vadnagar is a treasure. We have to ensure Vadnagar's rightful place on the global heritage and knowledge map, he added. (ANI)

- Country:
- United Arab Emirates
Iran rejected as "unconstructive" a statement by France, Britain and Germany on Saturday that said Tehran's demands were jeopardising talks to revive its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, Iranian state media reported.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said the statement was "unconstructive", adding "the three European countries are advised to play a more active role in providing solutions to end the few disagreements that remain", state media reported.
In their statement, the three European powers vented their frustration at Iran's demand in nuclear talks that the U.N. nuclear watchdog close a probe into uranium traces found at three sites.

Model Bella Hadid says she wept "every day" and was stricken with eating disorders and chronic anxiety as a teen before she shot to fame as a model.
In an interview with an i-D magazine, the 25-year-old opened up about her youth as she said that she was smoking heavily from the age of 14 and suffered body dysmorphia after she found success, reports aceshowbiz.com.
"Growing up, I thought it was normal that I had this chronic anxiety and this disassociation, crying every day and not knowing who I was," she recalled.
"Whether it was eating disorders or smoking a pack of Marlboros since the age of 14, I'm like, 'Oh, this is what all of the kids are doing. I realized that maybe that was me trying to figure out why I felt that way. And in reality, all I needed was therapy."
Hadid went on to talk about struggling with body dysmorphia in her early days as a model. "During that part of my life, I was so out of the body, disassociating so much... I was so confused by what people saw of me," the younger sister of model Gigi Hadid added.
She is now getting ready to make her acting debut in the series 'Ramy', which tells of a first-generation American-Muslim is torn between his family's traditional and modern American culture.
Bella said about reveling in her Palestinian heritage during the shooting.
"To go onto a set and see multiple Palestinians, Arabs, and people that are cut from the same cloth as I was beautiful."
She added her belief in speaking out for Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict with Israel previously cost her work. "A few companies won't work with me anymore, and a few people may think I'm crazy. But that doesn't bother me and it doesn't compare to what Palestinians suffer daily."

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A fiery crash between a tank truck carrying fuel and a passenger bus Saturday has left at least nine people dead in northern Mexico.
Police in the northern border state of Tamaulipas said the collision left both vehicles completely burned. Police photos showed the bus was reduced to a tangle of smoking, charred metal.
The death toll could rise as more charred remains are recovered. The crash occurred before dawn Saturday on a highway that leads to the northern city of Monterrey.
The driver of the fuel truck apparently survived and is under investigation. The bus had apparently set out from the central state of Hidalgo and was headed to Monterrey.
The truck was carrying two fuel tanks in tandem, and such double-container freight trucks have been involved in numerous deadly crashes in the past.
Because weight restrictions and safety inspections in Mexico are lax, there have been calls in the past to ban such extremely heavy and unwieldy trucks. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Fiery-crash-of-bus-fuel-tanker-truck-kills-9-in-17432564.php | 2022-09-10T18:41:44 | en | 0.980272 |
Ace Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra feels its high time Indian track and field athletes too start making their presence felt in numbers at major international competitions, adding that he at times feels lonely being the only athlete from the country competing in big events such as the Diamond League.
Chopra, the World Championships silver medallist, capped his superb season by winning the title at the Wanda Diamond League Final in Zurich on Thursday, becoming the first Indian to win the Diamond League Final Trophy. Chopra's throw of 88.84 meters proved enough to seal the title.
Woman long jumper Anju Bobby George had won its precursor -- the World Athletics Finals, as it was called then -- in 2005. Anju initially won silver in that but her medal was upgraded to gold a few years later as the Russian winner of the event had a doping violation. So, Neeraj is the first Indian to win the Diamond League Trophy.
The champion thrower also requested the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) to provide athletes with more chances to participate in international events and help them with foreign training stints.
Excerpts:
Q: Do you feel lonely being the only Indian competing in top competitions such as the Diamond League?
A: It is quite unusual that despite Indian athletes doing well in the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships, I was the only Indian competing in Zurich (Wanda Diamond League Final). I see other countries have a team of athletes competing in various disciplines and I want India too to send a big contingent for such events.
Q: What do you think should be the road map for more Indians competing in major events such as the Olympics and the Asian Games?
A: I feel that more Indian athletes should participate in international events (to qualify for the Olympics); they are doing well currently and are getting to participate in a lot of domestic events. I would urge the AFI, SAI (Sports Authority of India), and (sports) ministry to encourage more Indians to participate in international competitions. We need more Indians to compete against top athletes in world-class competitions so that we can do better in events like the Olympics, Asian Games, and Commonwealth Games.
It feels good that other Indian athletes are also doing well, like at the CWG and our guys did well in the World Championships too, though they did not get into podium position. I will request the national federation to provide them with more chances to participate in international events and help them with foreign training stints. Facilities are improving in India; we will soon have indoor competitions and training facilities. So, we should be able to reap the rewards at international events soon.
Q: Where do you go from here after clinching gold in the Diamond League Final Trophy?
A: As per my schedule planned at the start of the year, this was my last event of the season. I would have participated in the Asian Games (in Hangzhou) around this time but that was postponed. So, my season ends with the Zurich event.
The dates for the National Games were announced recently (September 27-October 10 at six places in Gujarat). I have consulted my coach and he advised me to skip it to rest and prepare for a crucial season next year.
Q: With the World Championships 2023 to be held from August 17 to August 27 in Budapest and the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, in September, how are you going to prepare for an extremely busy season? Also, the qualification program for Paris 2024 will also start next year, and building good momentum in the run-up to the Olympics is always a good thing...
A: Rest and recreation are very important for an athlete, we can't only think about competitions and medals. The body suffers a lot of wear and tear and fatigue during a season and proper rest during the off-season is very necessary. So, after a good off-season, I hope to return to competitions next year refreshed.

Center rejected cash incentive proposal for not burning stubble, says Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday said the Centre has refused the state government's proposal of contributing to the cash incentive to farmers for not burning stubble.
- Country:
- India
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday said the Centre has refused the state government's proposal of contributing to the cash incentive to farmers for not burning stubble. Notably, the state government had proposed to give Rs 2,500 per acre to paddy growers- 1,500 by the Centre, while Rs 1,000 per acre will be borne by Punjab and Delhi governments.
Paddy straw burning in Punjab and Haryana is one of the reasons behind the alarming spike in air pollution levels in the national capital in October and November as farmers set their fields on fire to quickly clear off the crop residue before cultivating wheat and potato. Punjab generates around 20 million tons of paddy straw annually.
Punjab CM Mann took Twitter on Saturday and said, "We had written to the Centre that it should help us over the issue of stubble burning, but the Centre has turned down our demand." "But the Centre has turned down our demand," said Mann.
"However, the state government will do anything to help the farmers," Mann added. Mann also shared some data and said that paddy is sown over 75 lakh acres.
"Farmers over an area of 37 lakh acres manage stubble through crop residue management machines or other measures," he said. Mann said the government is arranging machines at a big scale for the rest 38 lakh acres.
These machines will help the farmers to cut paddy on 5-6 acres per day. Under the in-situ management (mixing crop residue in soil) of the paddy stubble scheme, the Centre provides funds for supplying subsidised machines for the management of crop residue.
Stubble burning is widely prevalent in parts of the agricultural states of Punjab and Haryana. However, the severe pollution that the national capital experiences in the winter months are also attributed to the burning of stubble. Regarding the stubble burning issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier in August had inaugurated the second generation (2G) Ethanol Plant in Panipat and said it will help reduce pollution in Delhi, National Capital Region (NCR) and Haryana.
"The bio-fuel plant of Panipat will be able to dispose of the stubble without burning. Mother Earth will be relieved of the pain she endured from stubble burning. The stubble was a burden for the farmers, a cause of trouble, it would become a means of additional income for them," Modi had said. (ANI)

A majority of parents in South Korea were found to rely heavily on smartphones or tablet computers when tending to young children while carrying out daily tasks at home, a poll showed on Saturday.
This reflects the country's growing smartphone addiction problem among young people.
In the poll conducted by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education on 1,500 parents with children aged 1 to 7, 70.2 percent said they have handed smartphones to their children at home to handle daily chores without intrusions.
The survey, conducted in August last year, was carried out in a study published recently by the institute, reports Yonhap news agency.
Of the respondents, 74.3 percent said they showed smartphones to their children to keep them quiet in public areas, while 52 percent cited educational purposes.
According to the poll, the rate of toddlers first exposed to smartphones at the age of 12 to 18 months amounted to 20.5 percent, followed by the percentage of those aged 18 to 24 months, at 13.4 percent.
The average smartphone or tablet computer usage time of children stood at 55.3 minutes per weekday. The average for weekends was recorded at 97.6 minutes, according to the survey.
The survey results reflect the country's growing smartphone addiction problem among young people.
According to a study by the Ministry of Science and ICT in 2020, 35.8 percent of teenagers and 27.3 percent of children aged 3 to 9 were found to be at high risk of heavy smartphone reliance.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — At least three Afghan crew members were killed Saturday when a U.S.-manufactured Black Hawk helicopter they were flying crashed, the Taliban’s defense ministry said.
The statement said that five others were wounded in the accident during a training session overseen by Afghanistan's defense ministry at the capital of Kabul.
It is not known how many U.S. choppers remain in the hands of the Taliban government. As the U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed in mid-August last year, dozens of Afghan pilots fled to Central Asian countries, including Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Afghan air force pilots played a key role, alongside their U.S. counterparts, in the 20-year war against Taliban insurgents that ended with the departure of foreign troops last year. The airstrikes inflicted heavy casualties among the Taliban and repeatedly drove them from positions they had seized in different parts of the country.
Last year about 140 Afghan pilots and others were flown out of Tajikistan then to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and their final destination in the U.S.
Separately, three civilians were wounded when a bicycle bomb exploded in Kabul, said Khalid Zadran, spokesman for the the capital's police chief.
The attack occurred in the Shai neighborhood and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.
Recently, the Islamic State group has claimed similar attacks in the country. IS has waged a bloody campaign of attacks on Taliban targets and minority groups, particularly Shiites whom the extremist IS considers heretics. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Helicopter-crash-kills-3-in-Kabul-during-training-17432513.php | 2022-09-10T18:41:51 | en | 0.974132 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Water at a public housing complex is OK to drink after earlier tests incorrectly showed the presence of arsenic, city officials said Saturday.
A tweeted video showed Mayor Eric Adams and another official drinking glasses of water from a tap at the Jacob Riis Houses. Tests by an outside lab last month had showed higher than allowable levels of arsenic, but on Friday the company said the results were incorrect.
Residents of the 1,700-unit complex on the lower East Side had been told to avoid drinking or cooking with the water beginning last weekend. Adams said Saturday additional tests had confirmed the water was safe.
“This morning, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reviewed the final test results for contaminants and found the water to be well within EPA drinking water quality standards,” Adams said in a statement. “We can confidently say the water at Riis Houses is and has been free of any discernible amount of arsenic since the initial tests were initiated in August and meets EPA standards.”
Adams's office said the city would cease working with the lab, Environmental Monitoring and Technologies, and would “pursue all available legal options” and seek to reimburse residents for costs incurred during the last week. The company acknowledged the testing errors in a statement Friday. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/NYC-housing-complex-water-OK-after-incorrect-17432627.php | 2022-09-10T18:41:52 | en | 0.97654 |

India Meteorological Department on Saturday issued an Orange alert for north and central part of Telangana. According to IMD, North Telangana and the Central part of Telangana are going to get widespread rainfall activity in the next 48 hours. According to the scientist of Metrological Centre Hyderabad, Dharmaraju said, "The low pressure that formed on 8th September now it turned into well marked low and further it formed into a depression in 24 hours, because of that upper air circulation in the mid-tropospheric levels as well as the monsoon trough running across Telangana is the main cause for the widespread of rainfall in Telangana."
He said, "particularly the North Telangana and the Central part of Telangana are going to get widespread rainfall activity in the next 48 hours and we are also given an orange alert for districts and there is a possibility of heavy to very heavy rainfall likely in one or two places." "We had alerted the rest of the state with a yellow alert. The orange alert is given for two days. As of now the northern parts of Telangana have been given an orange alert. But the central part of Telangana is also going to receive widespread rainfall," he added.
He further said, "Nizamabad, Komaram Bheem, Jagitial, Asifabad, Mancheriyal, Jaishankar Bhupalpally, Peddapally and Mulugu are given orange alerts. The rest of the districts have been given a yellow alert. Nirmal, Nizamabad, Jagitial, Rajanna Sircilla, and Karimnagar are given orange alerts for the second day." Lastly, he added Hyderabad to receive Light to moderate rains as heavy rain is also predicted, he added. (ANI)

If you enjoy watching movies and TV shows, you are likely aware of how challenging it can be to create the ideal atmosphere at home for doing so. It comes as no surprise that standard mediocre TVs only provide consumers with a low-quality entertainment experience. But don't worry, you no longer need to wait until dusk so that the TV room may be quiet and dark because the pace of smart, inexpensive, and dynamic improvements in the TV technology ecosystem is picking up.
If you routinely watch videos, movies, television shows, and other HDR content, your perfect TV should provide deep blacks, vibrant colors, and brilliant highlights. Similarly, having a soundbar or receiver technology in a TV can significantly improve your TV viewing experience because no movie or entertainment video content is complete without strong audio support. Simply put, investing in the proper TV technology is essential if you want to have the best audiovisual experience possible.
Here are our picks for the best action cinema TVs for watching movies and home theatres:
TCL C835 New Generation Mini LED 4K Google TV
The TCL C835 combines several high-octane technologies, including 144Hz VRR, ONKYO, IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, HDR 10+, MEMC, HDMI 2.1, and many others. The TCL Mini LED 4K TV C835 increases the standard for a powerful picture by adding more local dimming zones and providing incredible brightness performance to deliver spectacular contrast, exquisite details, and more than one billion colors driven by QLED technology.
This year, more games are expected to support 120 frames per second, so C835 went one step further by implementing 144Hz VRR, resulting in quicker response, clearer visuals, and smoother gaming. 144Hz VRR screens can be very helpful, offering users a noticeable advantage, especially in multiplayer games, whether users are competitive gamers looking to experience demanding high FPS games or casual gamers.
Sony A90J OLED
The greatest OLED TV for watching movies and other types of video content is the Sony A90J OLED. It's a top-of-the-line TV with excellent visual quality, especially while watching movies in rooms with low lighting. It has a contemporary design that ought to go well with most home theatre setups. Customers can lift the TV's stand so that a soundbar can be placed in front of the display without obscuring the picture.
OLEDs are recognized for their ability to turn off certain pixels, creating a contrast ratio that is nearly limitless. Blacks appear dark and inky in the dark, and there is no blooming around bright objects either. For viewing HDR movies, the A90J supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, but not HDR10+. It has great gradient management with minimum banding, a large color range, and excellent out-of-the-box accuracy.
LG C1 OLED
The most economical OLED television for watching movies is the LG C1 OLED. It provides a picture quality that is very comparable to the Sony A90J, although it is less expensive. This is because of its virtually infinite contrast ratio, which creates deep, uniform blacks and eliminates blooming around bright objects in dark settings. Having said that, the processing speed is sacrificed. In essence, it's a little less accurate despite the stunning aesthetics in most movies. The item is also offered on Vijay Sales.
Samsung QN43QN90AAFXZA
In a small space, the Samsung QN43QN90AAFXZA TV is the best option for watching movies. Unlike other TVs on this list, this one is available in sizes as little as 43 inches and as large as 98 inches, making it a model for every viewing circumstance. It's a great TV for watching movies in a room with low lighting. Thanks to one of the most amazing local dimming features on the market, which produces an incredibly high contrast with local dimming, it offers blacks that are deep and uniform in a dark room.
Additionally, it looks quite amazing, especially in HDR. When paired with its fantastic local dimming technology, HDR's bright highlights stand out very well. Additionally, movies look lively and realistic because of the exceptional wide color gamut. It upscales lower-resolution video well if you have a collection of DVD movies. Additionally, a wide variety of apps on its smart interface make it easy to access all favorite streaming providers.
Hisense U9DG
One of the tops LED TVs available now for watching movies is the Hisense U9DG. It is a unique TV that produces maximum contrast using twin cell panel technology, displaying deep blacks with nearly little blooming around bright objects.
It's great for watching movies in dimly lit rooms because of the deep blacks, and the full-array local dimming option is also terrific. Starry or other dimly lit scenes appear as they should because it makes bright items stand out and don't squish any blacks. Its total HDR peak brightness is still enough to give an excellent HDR experience, even though it loses brightness with larger portions of dazzling colors. Because HDR10+ and Dolby Vision content is supported by the TV device, it is simple to stream your chosen HDR video.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Campers at a state park in Oregon had to evacuate after a wildfire ignited and thousands in the state remained without power Saturday after utilities did targeted shutoffs in an effort to lessen the danger in dry and windy conditions.
Late Friday night, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office announced the evacuation order from Milo McIver State Park, which is about 24 miles (38.6 kilometers) southeast of Portland. Early Saturday morning, residents in several communities west of the park were told to be ready to evacuate.
In hopes of lessening the risk of more fires, Portland General Electric initially halted power to about 30,000 customers in 12 service areas but that number increased to more than 37,000 by Saturday. Pacific Power shut down service to more than 7,000 customers in a small community on the Pacific Coast, where a wildfire burned two years ago, and in pockets southeast of the state capitol of Salem. The number of Pacific Power customers without service increased to 12,000 on Saturday.
The largest fire in Oregon is the Double Creek Fire burning in the northeastern part of the state near the Idaho border. As of Saturday, the fire had burned more than 230 square miles (595 square kilometers). The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center said that the fire grew by 65 square miles (168 square kilometers) overnight.
In central Oregon, the Cedar Creek Fire east of Oakridge has burned nearly 81 square miles (210 square kilometers). On Friday, officials ordered residents to immediately leave the greater Oakridge, Westfir and High Prairie areas due to increased fire activity.
The Van Meter Fire, which started Wednesday, is burning on Stukel Mountain about 13 miles (21 kilometers) southeast of Klamath Falls. One home and four structures have been destroyed and about 260 structures are threatened by that blaze, officials said.
In Washington state, the Goat Rocks Fire, south of Mount Rainier National Park, was started by lightning and has led to the closure of U.S. Highway 12 and the evacuation of neighborhoods east of the city of Packwood. Evacuations were also issued for several communities in Cowlitz County in response to the Kalama fire in Gifford Pinchot National Forest southwest of Mount St. Helens.
A red flag warming in Washington remains in effect through Sunday night, meaning that high temperatures, low humidity and strong winds will complicate fire conditions.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A housing authority police officer used a stun gun that proved ineffective before shooting and killing a man who attacked him as he was investigating a noise complaint early on Labor Day, authorities said.
The Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority officer was flagged down near the Riverside Park housing authority apartments in the West Park neighborhood shortly after 12:30 a.m. Monday as he was responding to a call for service for loud music, Cleveland police said.
As he was getting out of his car, Cleveland police said, the suspect then began to “violently assault” him. Police said the officer deployed his stun device but it had no apparent effect, and the officer eventually fired twice, striking the man both times.
Authorities, who released bodycam video Wednesday, said the housing authority officer provided aid until paramedics arrived. The Cuyahoga County medical examiner said 32-year-old Maalik Roquemore of Cleveland was pronounced dead at Fairview Hospital. The housing authority officer was also treated for injuries.
Chief Wayne Drummond of the Cleveland police department said it was unclear whether Roquemore was the person who flagged down the officer.
Cleveland.com and the Plain Dealer reported that court documents indicated that Roquemore had faced mental health problems over the years. His mother, Kimberly Roquemore, told news outlets that her son was schizophrenic and had post traumatic stress disorder and had been able to live alone but had “declined” in the past year.
“It was just a bad mental health day and he was in crisis,” she told WKYC-TV. “And it wasn’t recognized.”
Karrie Howard, chief public safety director, vowed “a full and honest investigation” by Cleveland police. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Police-probe-shooting-of-man-by-housing-authority-17432586.php | 2022-09-10T18:42:04 | en | 0.987712 |

Community should play proactive role in fight against tuberculosis: Senior official
Community should participate and play a proactive role in the fight against tuberculosis, said Dr Raghuram S Rao, additional DDG, TB division, Directorate General of Health Services.
- Country:
- India
Community should participate and play a proactive role in the fight against tuberculosis, said Dr Raghuram S Rao, additional DDG, TB division, Directorate General of Health Services. In an exclusive interview with ANI, Rao said, "It is about getting the community to participate and play a proactive role in the fight against tuberculosis. So, what we are asking from the community is to come forward and adopt a TB patient for a facility and all TB patients within that geography."
"So, that they are able to provide them with additional nutritional support or social support or any other, additional support that the patient or the family may need," he said further. He added, "Whatever the government is doing, those efforts are being done in terms of making sure that the disease is handled but as an issue to the TB to be addressed and it requires the society and the social determinants have to be addressed. For all these things. If the community comes together, it helps and amplifies the effect of the work that the government has been doing."
On a number of adoptions, he said, "this was first started off in Uttar Pradesh, as honourable Governor Anandiben Patel, first started adopting children with both the staff of the Raj Bhavan itself, motivating them to do that. So we have some 1000 or reported once from the management. There's a lot of data entry that is still ongoing in the field. So we'll have better figures maybe by the end of next week." "The adopter, with help of the District TB Officer, should design & give a nutritional basket containing cereals, millets, milk powder, oil, protein, and groundnut to the TB patients. The cost of it is around Rs 1000 for 1 patient for 1 month." Dr Rao explained the nutrition basket that will be given by the adopter under Ni-kshay scheme
The govt is targeting approx nine lakh TB patients for adoption. In a few years antimicrobial resistance has been increased in TB patients as well which also one of the biggest challenges, according to Dr Rao, "antimicrobial resistance is when a particular bacteria is getting resistant to a particular drug, that's quite rampant, because of the rampant use of antibiotics in the first line of treatment. So tuberculosis also we find resistance, what we call as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and overall it's around 6- 7 per cent of the tuberculosis patients that are found the drug-resistant, and what it makes is treatment more challenging."
"The drugs are second-line drugs and a little more toxic drug. So it requires also a longer treatment regimen, almost nine to 12 months now with newer drugs coming in, so it's costly, but also the government is making sure that these drugs even if it is drug resistant, TB is provided free, of course, to all patients," He said On a number of the highest TB cases, Dr Rao said, "UP has most numbers of TB cases because of its sheer size & population density, followed by Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bihar, Gujarat, MP. From 2018 to now national strategic plan made & micro plan available at state & district levels." (ANI)

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — There likely will be a moment Sunday — maybe a few — when Robert Saleh looks up into the stands at MetLife Stadium and is reminded of how many lives were instantly changed 21 years ago.
Including his own.
Saleh's New York Jets will open the NFL regular season against the Baltimore Ravens at home — just across the Hudson River from where hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks.
Football will be played Sunday, but all the cheers won't mean anyone has forgotten. Certainly not Saleh, whose oldest brother, David, narrowly escaped the south tower that day.
There were 2,750 others in lower Manhattan who never went home.
And chances are, many of the fans rooting for the Jets — in the stands and at home — to beat Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Sunday have been mourning personal losses since that day.
“There’s no doubt. It’s amplified because it is 9/11 in this city,” Robert Saleh said. “Not so much for me, but for the people who are in the thick of it. Obviously, I know it’s documented about my brother, but I heard stories this week about the cars being at (the Meadowlands) for months afterward because no one could pick them up. And then the Long Island train stations and the tragedies that led up to this.”
Saleh was only 22 on Sept. 11, 2001, and just starting out in the financial business in Detroit. His brother was training as a financial adviser in New York City.
As Saleh and his family watched on TV as the attacks unfolded there, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, they prayed, hoped and begged for David to be OK.
Several agonizing hours later, David called.
He made it.
Robert, who thought he lost his big brother, immediately began contemplating his own life and career path. After a few more months trudging through the financial world, the former college tight end knew he needed to chase his dream.
He wanted to be a coach.
That two-decade journey began at Michigan State and brought him to Central Michigan, Georgia, the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers before he became an NFL head coach for the first time last year with the Jets.
“I’m supposed to be here and I believe that God does things for a reason,” Saleh said after he was hired. “And I believe this is one of them.”
His debut with the Jets last year — Sept. 12 at Carolina — coincided with the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
This year, he'll be standing on the sideline in a stadium filled with fans predominantly from the New York/New Jersey area exactly 21 years since that day.
“I think it’s very personal for a lot of people and I think that passion is felt country-wide, not just in New York,” Saleh said Friday. “But it’s a little bit more important here and you know that (Sunday) means a lot more than just a football game to a lot of people in the stands.
"That’s why I think that’s what's going to make Sunday pretty cool.”
Sports became a method of healing and a source of unity when they returned to stadiums across the country a few weeks after the attacks.
And they have continued to do so in the years since, particularly during the days surrounding the anniversary. That's something not lost on Ravens coach John Harbaugh.
“We’re going up to New York, going to be in the Meadowlands, it’s going to be 9/11,” Harbaugh said. “It’s a great honor to be chosen to go up there and play on 9/11. We take it very seriously, that part of it.
"We know the environment, we know how loud it’s going to be, we know how enthusiastic they’re going to be, their demeanor. They’re going to be into it. We have to match that as best we can.”
There will be poignant moments of silence before the game.
And very likely some tears.
A 100-yard American flag will be unfurled on the field by members of the New York Police Department, New York City Fire Department and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department.
The Jets will then begin a new game day tradition by having fans sing the national anthem. It will be led by NYPD officer Brianna Fernandez, whose late father, Luis, was a 23-year veteran of the NYPD who helped in the rescue and recovery efforts.
A stadium again will be filled with voices united by tragedy and bonded by football.
“I know y’all like to tailgate. I would appreciate it if you all get out there early, get in there early,” Saleh said, directing his message to the fans. “I would love if everyone sang the national anthem. Don’t just listen to it, just sing it.
"I think it’s the coolest thing when the stadium sings it. I think it’s going to be electric.”

LONDON (AP) — By early afternoon, the scent of thousands of lilies and roses floated in the air outside Buckingham Palace. But the pilgrims kept arriving, bearing still more bouquets and notes of endearment addressed to the only queen most have ever known.
The scene outside the wrought iron gates was just as Nick French expected. But when he left a London hospital Friday, still shaky 10 days after surgery for prostate cancer, there was no question he would join them. Setting out on foot for an hour-long walk across the city, French searched through seven mostly sold-out florist’s shops until his arms were filled with blossoms of crimson and cream, pink and purple.
“I felt the need to come right down here,” said the 50-year-old social services consultant from nearby Kent, standing behind a police barricade. True, Elizabeth II, born to royalty and bound by duty, had lived a life of palaces and pomp. But in the queen's decades of steadfast stewardship, French said, an ordinary man had found an inspiration and kindred soul.
Elizabeth’s life, “brings me hope because the queen was always an incredibly charitable person, a decent person even in the face of great adversity,” he said, “And that gives me a role model to try and move on in my own life, post-cancer.”
A day after the longest reigning monarch in British history died at 96, French’s tribute echoed through the crowds that thronged to Buckingham and the memorial plaza over which the palace presides.
Those in attendance were, of course, self-selected — people who cared for the queen and had come to express their affection. But the pilgrimage was remarkable for more than just its size; it was striking, too, for how it underscored the multitude of roles visitors say the monarch occupied in the lives of those she could never know.
“You inspired generations of young women like me to serve the great nation that thrived under your leadership,” read one note penned in purple marker, left at the gate.
“Farewell, my dearest,” read another, attached to a bouquet of yellow roses. “Thank you ma’am ... for being a beacon of hope and stability in troubled times.”
And yet another: “We thank you for everything you stood for. For your sense of duty, your care, your compassion and of your love for us, your people.”
The outpouring of flowers and heartfelt notes in public places evoked, for those old enough to remember, another somber week in London 25 years ago — the days after Princess Diana, the queen's onetime daughter-in-law, was killed in a car crash in Paris. Then, a nation poured out its public grief in a way not entirely dissimilar.
For David Hunt, a 67-year-old retiree from the British Library, the queen was a symbol of a bygone era and her death a reminder of just how much everything has changed since her reign's early days in his childhood. And Claire McDaniel, 48, said she came when she finished work in a skin-care shop because it felt like the right thing to do for a monarch who, for her, felt almost like a grandmother.
“During the pandemic she came on TV and said, `This is bad, but it will get better. We will see each other again and get together again.' And I think, as a country, it was just what we needed,” McDaniel said.
Not far away, classmates Adam Al-Mufty and Oliver Hughes, both 16 and in school uniforms, said they had come to Buckingham Palace to observe a chapter of history. But there was something more.
“She represented all of us,” Al-Mufty said, acknowledging the unlikeliness that a teenage student and a sovereign could relate to one another. “She was very down to earth.”
French, who came to the palace after an MRI to check that recent surgery had removed all his cancer, said his fondness for Elizabeth began in childhood but grew stronger in recent years.
After French’s father died in 2019, he said he found solace observing the queen’s grace and solidity at the funeral of her husband, Prince Philip. As she grew older and her own health faltered, her determination to enjoy the places and things she loved — while maintaining her role as queen — provided him inspiration, he said.
When he arrived at Buckingham Palace on Friday, he arranged four small bunches of flowers into a generous bouquet held together with a hairband given to him by another admirer in the crowd. At the barricade, he handed them to a police officer, who promised to find a good spot at the base of the palace gates.
It provided small solace. But in the weeks to come, the pain of losing Elizabeth will be difficult to hide, said McDaniel, the retail worker. After all, the queen’s face and name are everywhere — on Britain’s money and postal stamps, on an air terminal at Heathrow and on London’s newest subway line.
“It will be hard, but we’ll get through it,” McDaniel said. “That’s what we do. We’re English. We’ll have a bit of tea and carry on.”

IPEF to encourage Pakistan to "decouple" from Chinese market: Report
The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) can change the economic dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region, especially Pakistan as the group is ostensibly created to encourage regional economies to "decouple" from the Chinese market by providing them alternative supply chains.
- Country:
- Pakistan
The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) can change the economic dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region, especially Pakistan as the group is ostensibly created to encourage regional economies to "decouple" from the Chinese market by providing them alternative supply chains. Advocate Muhammad Hamza Qamar, writing in Daily Parliament Times, said that Washington believes it will help exclude China from the regional trading and supply systems.
Asia Pacific region remains the world's growth engine despite the weathering effects of Covid-19 and stringent waves of global climatic fluctuations. The regional dynamics have been a focal point since the Asian economic giant China has been engaged in expanding regional trade routes and supply chains with initiatives like Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), connecting the region with silk-route, etc.
Asia Pacific venture has taken a more serious direction since US president Joe Biden launched the IPEF earlier this year. IPEF's prospects and evolution will partly hinge on how the US and its regional friends and partners define its value addition in a competitive landscape, said Qamar. It is a widespread notion that the initiative taken by the Biden administration is to counter the growing economic clout of China in the Asia Pacific region.
Its four founding pillars are trade, supply chains, clean energy, decarbonisation and infrastructure, tax and anti-corruption. The framework has engaged a dozen of its regional partners including Australia, Indonesia, Brunei, Japan, India, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam. Together they represent almost 40 per cent of the world's GDP. Since the growing hostility in the region's economic framework, Pakistan's prospects are quite crucial and require shrewd handling. Pakistan has faced a heavy toll of Covid-19 as well as the recent floods have taken aback the country after 20 years of economic development.
Seeking the bailout plan of IMF, the growing inflation rate has pulverized the economy. Considering the recent economic crisis of Sri Lanka which has brought untold misery and economic hardship to the general public, concerned ministries/authorities in Pakistan shall re-evaluate the possible consequences before seeking a loan from China, said Qamar. Also, Pakistan needs to revisit its economic policy toward its neighbours including India, Iran and Bangladesh, instead of solely relying on China, reported Daily Parliament Times.
Bilateral trade routes along the lines of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) must be pursued as CEPA will allow both India and Bangladesh to fill the trade fallout gaps. CEPA is also likely to reshape the Asian future trade connectivity through the Asian Highway Network (AH-1 and 2) which will produce a cluster of connectivity.
Hence, Pakistan must cut short its over-dependency on foreign loans, allowing it only in a sparing manner, and engage more in regional trade routes and supply chain networks along with enhancing ground capabilities to grasp a firm foothold, said Qamar. (ANI)

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police in Las Vegas say a person was killed and a patrol officer was wounded in an exchange of gunfire during a foot chase following a vehicle stop early Saturday several blocks east of the Strip.
Capt. Carlos Hank said the officer was taken to University Medical Center in stable condition after the shooting about 1:15 a.m. near Flamingo Center and University Center Drive.
In a video statement, Hank said one person ran from an SUV that had been stopped by police, and both the officer and suspect were shot during an exchange of gunfire.

Russia's Defence Ministry on Saturday said that they are pulling back forces from two areas in Ukraine's Kharkiv region where a Ukrainian counteroffensive has made significant advances in the past week. The Russian backed-local authorities in the north Kharkiv region have announced that the Russian military is leaving the area "temporarily", reported CNN.
The Military-Civic Administration of the Vovchansk district, through which many Russian supplies travel toward the front lines, said in a brief Telegram post, "Russian military are leaving Volchansk!![?] (Vovchansk) temporarily. City's population continues to evacuate." The administration quoted a member of the Russian parliament, Evgeniy Evtushenko, as saying that the local headquarters would be moved across the border to the Russian city of Belgorod.
"To save civilians' lives, Russian Armed Forces have decided to leave our city. (The) The city's administration will be moved to Belgorod. Its branches will be in Kursk, Yakutsk, Vladivostok and St Petersburg till the situation in the city stabilizes," Evtushenko said. "Russian armed forces will return control of all Russian land in the Kharkiv region," he added.
Vovchansk has been an important link in the Russian military's supply chain from Belgorod, and it remained under Russian control even as Ukrainian forces retook some territory north and east of the city of Kharkiv in May, reported CNN. In its first response to the gains made by Ukrainian forces in the last few days, the Russian Defence Ministry has said that "the decision was made to regroup Russian troops in the areas of Balakleya and Izyum and redirect their efforts in the Donetsk direction," reported CNN.
The ministry said the "Russian Federation's forces were reduced and redeployed to the DNR (Donetsk People's Republic) over three days," and had "opened heavy fire on the enemy to prevent incurring losses." The ministry did not acknowledge any retreat from Kharkiv, suggesting instead a planned redeployment, reported CNN.
Ukrainian forces appear to have opened a new front against Russian defences on the border of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The head of the regional military administration for Luhansk, Serhiy Hayday, posted a message indicating that the city of Lysychansk was the target of the new offensive, reported CNN.
The city was lost to Russian forces and their allied militia after weeks of fierce fighting in June. A senior Ukrainian official said that the "main artery" for Russian forces through the Kharkiv region has been severed.
Yurii Mysiagin, a Ukrainian member of Parliament and deputy head of the parliament's committee on national security, said on Telegram that "a few days ago, military experts said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were trying to take the main logistical artery of the Russians in the Kharkiv region under full fire control." He said that artery ran from Vovchansk in the north, close to the Russian border, down to Izium, on the border of the Donetsk region -- a distance of some 125 kilometres (approximately 77 miles).
The Ukrainian military says losses have been inflicted on Russian forces in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine as well as in the Kharkiv region, reported CNN. In an operational update, the General Staff said "the liberation of settlements that were temporarily captured by the Russian occupiers in the Kharkiv region and the South Buh direction continues. For the safety of our servicemen, official information will be provided later."
The mayor of Izium in the Kharkiv region, Vladimir Matsokin, has said in a radio interview the city has been liberated, reported CNN. Matson told a Ukrainian radio station, "Our Armed Forces of Ukraine are in Ilium. It cannot be said that the military operation to liberate Izium is over, but our military is working."
Matson said above the city on the Kremenets mountain "our blue-and-yellow flag is already fluttering. This has been confirmed." (ANI)
