Chris MedlandRACERLewis Hamilton says the United States Grand Prix alone is not enough for Formula 1 to fully tap into America’s sporting culture. Austin, Texas has been the home of Formula 1 in the U.S. since 2012, but next year the number of F1 races is set to grow with the addition of the Miami Grand Prix. "I think definitely we need to have at least two, but there are so many great cities to have a grand prix. “The place that I really feel is dear to my heart and most important for me is to get a race back in South Africa,” Hamilton said. I think it would be great to be able to highlight just how beautiful the motherland is."

"Fentanyl is taking over the illicit market," Dr. Nora Volkow, director of NIDA, told USA TODAY. "Drug dealers are maximizing their profits by lacing or contaminating drugs like heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine with fentanyl," Volkow said. The increase was consistent with larger quantities of fentanyl being manufactured and positive fentanyl toxicology drug tests administered during COVID-19 the pandemic. "The use of strip can be very useful because many people taking stimulants do not seek out fentanyl," Volkow said. To people who may be considering experimenting with drugs, Volkow said highlighting the devastation of addiction is key.

The following contains light spoilers for the new "Dune" so beware if you want to go in cold. David Lynch, who directed the ’84 version, has called his film “a total failure.” Which is a little harsh. Review:Sci-fi epic 'Dune' is a mixed bag of eye-popping sci-fi, lackluster storytellingVilleneuve’s “Dune” is a hugely ambitious work that touches on religion, gender dynamics and colonialism; Lynch’s “Dune” is crazypants and kind of a campy hoot. Kyle MacLachlan rides a sandwormIf Villeneuve gets to do another “Dune” and finish off his epic, we will probably see Chalamet ride a massive sandworm. (Toto and Brian Eno fueled the soundtrack for Lynch’s “Dune,” so that’s another win in its column.)

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, says the Federal Trade Commission, because many victims of romance scams are embarrassed to come forward. Romance scammers typically create fake profiles on dating sites and apps such as Ashley Madison, Grindr, Match and Tinder. The FBI has seen an increase in crimes where the romance scammer seeks to help you invest in or trade cryptocurrency. The Senate Aging Committee has a report on scams targeting seniors including romance scams on its website. If you think you may be dealing with a romance scammer stop communicating with them immediately.

Yet Queen Elizabeth has remained true to the “very simple” vow she made as a 21-year-old princess. In the process, she has become the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, and if she is still on the throne on May 27, 2024, she will surpass Louis XIV of France, as the longest-reigning European monarch ever. That is the only point of comparison between Elizabeth II and the flamboyant Sun King, who took care to have his absolute rule glorified in lavish paintings and palaces. In her Christmas broadcast in 1966, the queen explicitly addressed the constraints women confront around the world. Comments like that and shows like “The Crown” may give people a sense that they know Queen Elizabeth.

Last week, a woman was raped on a train in Philadelphia, and bystanders reportedly stood by and watched, without intervening. The Genovese rape and murder in New York was not big news initially. AP/New York State Department of Corrections and Community SupervisionThe Philadelphia rape has made national headlines. (The actual rape occurred just outside of the city limits, though the victim and defendant spent most of their train ride in Philadelphia.) The woman raped in Philadelphia was not killed, thank goodness, though the bystander response, if accurately characterized, was nonetheless disgraceful.

That’s the question posed by bioethicist Jessica Pierce and evolutionary biologist Marc Bekoff in their new book, “A Dog’s World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World without Humans” (Princeton University Press), out Tuesday. Although just 471 million of those dogs are pets, humans spent a record $103.6 billion on their care in 2020, according to the American Pet Products Association. “People often bring dogs with them to parts of the world where dogs otherwise would not live,” write Pierce and Bekoff. After centuries of living among humans, dogs have become keen observers of human behavior. Without humans, dogs would be “freed from the constraints of being square pegs forced into round holes, of being dogs expected to live and act like furry people.”

“Health care is one of our biggest employers,” says Sue Clair, who has a real estate development company in the county seat, Jackson. When the local economy falters, total employment dwindles, and the need for health care services increases, both of which push counties upward on the list. Many economists view rising health care employment nationally as a mixed blessing. “Every person employed in health care is one less person available to work in other industries,” David Cutler, a health care economist at Harvard University, wrote in a 2018 article for The JAMA Forum, a publication of the American Medical Association. “Thus, people should work in health care only if the extra care is more valuable than the output would be in some other industry.”

The Hollywood armorer who tended to the deadly weapon used by Alec Baldwin on the set of “Rust” had expressed doubts about her skills and ability to load prop guns. “There are no words to convey my shock and sadness,” Baldwin said on social media after the deadly shooting. Hannah Reed was reportedly the woman responsible for handling weapons on the set of Alec Baldwin’s “Rust.”Loading prop guns was “the scariest” part of the process, Reed said, saying her dad helped show her how. Her father, Thell Reed, is a legendary armorer in Hollywood circles who got his start from Gene Autry, according to his IMDB profile. “Before long, Hollywood came looking for Thell to share his skills and coach the biggest names in the business,” the profile reads.

2 this week, the Bearcats can’t feel confident an undefeated season will be enough to be accepted into sport’s most exclusive country club. Being unbeaten wasn’t enough last year, when the Bearcats finished the regular season ranked sixth, behind three one-loss teams. A two-loss Alabama — or Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, etc., with one defeat — would be similarly difficult to leap. Cincinnati’s best win (Notre Dame) and top remaining opponent (SMU) are likely to combine for zero wins against ranked teams. But after beating a pair of last-place Big Ten teams by a total of 10 points, Michigan won’t look past another overmatched opponent.

With the exception of getting Kyrie Irving his COVID-19 shot, the Nets may not have a more important item at the top of their to-do list for the start of the season than getting Nic Claxton in shape. And for the young big man, better conditioning spells better play. “I don’t think we should ever lean on outscoring teams,” Claxton said. “Obviously, scoring won’t be an issue, but we really need to buckle down on our defensive principles. That just starts with everybody on the floor communicating.

If you don’t get mad at certain things out on the floor, that you think you should have done better, what are we here for?

Of the Stars’ three wins, two came in overtime and one in a shootout. Miro Heiskanan played 29:07 and had a goal and two assists, giving the fourth-year defenseman 100 career points. Heiskanen’s goal came at 10:58 of the third period, seconds after a 5-on-3 expired. The Stars’ play following regulation through five games is vastly different from last season.

As both a Virginia resident and the mother of a child with a disability, I know how Terry McAuliffe turned his back on special needs parents, denying their children the educational opportunities they deserve. BIDEN TO CAMPAIGN WITH TERRY MCAULIFFE IN TOSS-UP VIRGINIA ELECTIONIn 2016, while serving as governor, McAuliffe vetoed legislation creating Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) in Virginia. Over the past several years, ESAs have become a godsend for special needs parents. But special needs parents in Virginia can’t access them—because Terry McAuliffe stood in the way. That attitude epitomizes Terry McAuliffe’s approach to education in general: appeal to liberal special interests, while dismissing parents’ legitimate concerns.

A Minneapolis police officer has been charged with manslaughter and vehicular homicide for a crash in July that killed an innocent motorist while the officer was pursuing a stolen vehicle, prosecutors said Friday. Officer Cummings’ actions deviated from his oath and his negligence caused the death of Leneal Frazier," Freeman said. According to investigators, the driver of the stolen vehicle narrowly missed the Jeep before the squad car struck it on the driver’s side. Mayor Jacob Frey said after Frazier’s death that the city would review its police pursuit policy, and that review was still ongoing Friday. The criminal complaint said the stolen vehicle was suspected in thefts from businesses that involved "some limited use of force" but none involving weapons or resulted in injuries.

The Los Angeles Dodgers say Max Scherzer will not start Game 6 of the NL Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night. They did not say why Scherzer will not start and did not say which pitcher will take his place. Scratching Scherzer was first reported by the Los Angeles Times. He got his first career save on Oct 14 at San Francisco in Game 5 of the Division Series, throwing 13 pitches on two days' rest after throwing 110 pitches over seven innings during the Dodgers' 1-0 loss in Game 3. Scherzer started Game 2 at the Braves on Sunday and did not get a decision in Atlanta's 5-4 win, throwing 79 pitches over 4 1/3 innings.

Nearly 100 million people nationwide are immediately eligible to receive Covid booster shots after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authorized extra doses of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson's vaccines Thursday night. The agency's decision also enables fully immunized people to pair their boosters with doses from different manufacturers after research from the National Institutes of Health showed it was safe and effective to mix and match vaccines. Pfizer and BioNTech's boosters were widely cleared for use in the U.S. on Sept. 24. Some 11.6 million individuals across the country have already received their boosters, and the CDC's approvals opened them up to tens of millions of more people. Here is who's allowed to get the extra doses in the U.S. based on their first round of shots:

Smith didn't follow the recommended QAnon groups, but whatever algorithm Facebook was using to determine how she should engage with the platform pushed ahead just the same. The body of research consistently found Facebook pushed some users into "rabbit holes," increasingly narrow echo chambers where violent conspiracy theories thrived. People radicalized through these rabbit holes make up a small slice of total users, but at Facebook's scale, that can mean millions of individuals. By summer 2020, Facebook was hosting thousands of private QAnon groups and pages, with millions of members and followers, according to an unreleased internal investigation. Researchers inside Facebook studying the platform's niche communities found violent conspiratorial beliefs to be connected to Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy.

By all accounts traditional energy investors — those targeting oil and gas companies — are having a good year. West Texas Intermediate crude oil broke above $84 on Wednesday for the first time in seven years, and the energy sector is far and away the top-performing S&P 500 group this year. The gains do, of course, follow years of underperformance as investors fled the sector. But 2021's return is notable nonetheless. And one market-beating portfolio manager believes the group is just getting started.

Icahn will continue with his tender offer and proxy fight but will be unable to consummate the tender offer as it is conditioned on the company waiving the poison pill, which they will never do. This leaves Icahn with his proxy fight. So, to put it another way, the company has two chances of avoiding a proxy fight here – slim and none. However, it is possible that the proxy fight does not happen by the next annual meeting because the regulatory approvals have not been received yet. When that activist makes a tender offer for the company, the company is totally in play.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is worried "it is getting harder and harder" to find compromises between European Union countries on hot-button issues like migration and the rule of law. Asked if the European Union can still build compromises amid growing nationalism in countries like Poland and Hungary, Merkel said, "it's getting harder and harder at the moment and I'm quite worried." Merkel in 2018 announced she would not seek another term as chancellor, a post she has held since 2005. "I became chancellor and inherited two major projects: the euro and freedom of movement in the Schengen area," she said. "I admit that we are not yet as far along in securing the Schengen area as we are in securing the euro area," she said.

ROME- Matteo Salvini knows that out of adversity comes opportunity. Salvini, a right-wing firebrand who rose to prominence thanks to his hard line on immigration, closed Italian ports to migrant vessels that summer. The ship, named Open Arms, was stranded at sea for almost three weeks after being denied permission to land. His lawyers say that the migrant boat was free to leave Italian waters and had received offers from other ports including in Spain. While the trial could drag on for years, Salvini may benefit from the short-term opportunity to reframe the political debate around immigration.

The U.S. military said it killed a senior al-Qaida leader in an airstrike Friday in northwest Syria. Army Maj. John Rigsbee, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement that Abdul Hamid al-Matar was killed by a drone strike. Rigsbee said the killing of al-Matar will disrupt al-Qaida's “ability to further plot and carry out global attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians." He said al-Qaida “uses Syria as a base for threats reaching into Syria, Iraq and beyond.”

The road to gain voter approval is uphill in California and Massachusetts, but there’s a clearer path to success in the other states. In recent years, for example, voters in California and Florida restored felons’ right to vote. In 2018, Michigan voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing people to register on Election Day and request absentee ballots without having to give a reason. As Trump allies go state to state, pushing partisan reviews of last year’s presidential election, the measure in Pennsylvania would require election results to be audited by the state’s auditor general. He said there has never been a single conviction for voter impersonation fraud in the state’s history.

The Federal Reserve’s first cycle of interest rate hikes since 2015-2018 is coming into view, with liftoff anticipated sometime next year, though it may look different from what policy makers have imagined, according to investors and analysts. In one of two scenarios gaining the most momentum among Eurodollars traders, some think the fed funds rate target may not get above 1% out to 2028. As of Friday, a bit more than two 25 basis point hikes from the Fed was being priced in by the end of 2022. Earlier in the day, traders’ expectations for inflation over the next five years topped 3% for the first time on record. Officials also expected the fed funds rate target to climb to as high as 2.5% over the longer run, from a current level of zero to 0.25%.

Border Patrol apprehensions hit a record high. The nature of migration has changedBack in 2000, when the previous record for Border Patrol apprehensions was set, the flow of migrants at the southern border looked very different. The Border Patrol made 1,643,679 apprehensions at the southern border that year, while an estimated 2 million migrants got away. "I've never seen it as bad as what it is right now"The record number of apprehensions is taking a toll on border communities — and on morale inside the Border Patrol. That means that thousands of migrants are being counted more than once in the total number of Border Patrol apprehensions during the last year.

And out of 13 auction records achieved by artists at the evening auctions last week, nine were from this “young, on-the-rise” group, ArtTactic said in its analysis. Overall, the art market has been supported by a consistent bull run in stock markets, providing more discretionary income, for those wealthy enough to own stocks, to spend on art. While many of these sales were of works by artists older than 45, works by women and artists of color seemed to dominate interest. Some of these market dynamics could change in the months ahead with a flood of blue chip art coming to market in a few big sales. But Watson expects a newer generation of collectors to continue to be interested in young, diverse artists, and he expects collectibles and street art to continue to do well.

But what if colleges were more nimble in their approach to their endowments, allowing them to more easily help students in times of crisis? And for decades one college has used its endowment essentially as a “tuition replacement fund,” allowing students to attend for free. “The idea of furloughing seemed to us that it would have a direct and negative impact on students,” she said. Free TuitionFor decades, one college has been using a radical approach to using its endowment — at least by the standards of the higher education industry. About two-thirds of the school’s endowment is restricted and so all of the new shares that are part of that portion of the fund received the full 65% return.

Rome has decided it won't be able to meet UniCredit's requests for a recapitalization package worth more than 7 billion euros as this would make a deal "too punitive" for the Italian taxpayer, one of the sources said. A second source said the parties had concluded it was impossible to reach an agreement based on the conditions set in July, which required the acquisition of "selected parts" of Monte dei Paschi to boost UniCredit's earnings per share by 10% and leave its capital unaffected. UniCredit declined to comment while the Treasury was not immediately available for comment. (Reporting by Pamela Barbaglia in London, Valentina Za in Milan; Giuseppe Fonte in Rome)

(Bloomberg) -- China’s State Council will expand property-tax reform trials to more areas and start taxing residential property owners, Xinhua reported. Property prices in China have skyrocketed to unaffordable levels since private home ownership was introduced in 1998, and the government has faced an ongoing battle to control speculators. Authorities started property tax trials in 2011 in Shanghai and Chongqing, levying annual charges on second or high-priced homes. Local governments earn income from developers mainly through land sales, collecting a total of 8.4 trillion yuan ($1.3 trillion) last year. Most Read from Bloomberg Businessweek©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

A Chevron station in the 900 block of Alameda Street in downtown Los Angeles has gas prices just under $6 a gallon. Prices are so high — and consumers are so perplexed — that a Google search of “Why are gas prices going up?” has spiked this month. Likewise, people are pleading: “When are gas prices going down?” which has also been trending on Google. For much of 2020 — a year marred by the COVID-19 pandemic, stay-at-home orders and restricted travel — crude prices tanked. Griping about gas prices is understandable — and universal.

A milestone week that began with the introduction of the first Bitcoin-based exchange traded fund (ETF) ended just as it began — with a new fund based on the world's leading cryptocurrency. On Friday, digital asset manager Valkyrie launched its Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BTF) on the Nasdaq exchange. Valkyrie's Bitcoin ETF followed the debut of the Proshares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), which listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Tuesday with a near-rapturous reception from investors, en route to becoming the second highest-traded ETF debut ever. As their approval by the Securities and Exchanges Commission neared, Valkyrie had to change plans for listing their Bitcoin ETF earlier in the week. The more ETFs that enter the Bitcoin futures market, the less of a concern position limits become," Wald told Yahoo Finance.

Dear Liz: There seems to be an abundance of companies offering debt reduction, debt settlement and debt consolidation programs now. Answer: If a company is promising to help reduce the total amount you owe, that’s known as debt settlement. Typically, you stop paying your debts and instead make payments to the debt settlement company, which tries to negotiate a deal with your creditors. Once you add in the company’s fees, the amount you save through debt settlement may be less than you expect. If you’re considering debt settlement, first consult with a bankruptcy attorney (the National Assn.

Dave Roberts has been mismanaging his pitching staff in the playoffs for nearly a decade now, and one has to wonder how many World Series the Dodgers would have won if they’d had a remotely competent dugout tactician. Dave Roberts statement, “A decision that doesn’t work out doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision“ is now baseball’s definition of insanity. Bruce FischerHuntington Beach::If the Braves go on to the World Series, I’m pretty certain that they’ll be giving Dave Roberts a full share.

North Korea on Saturday accused the Biden administration of raising military tensions with China through its “reckless” backing of Taiwan, and said that the growing U.S. military presence in the region constitutes a potential threat to the North. North Korea has increasingly criticized the broader U.S. security role in the Indo-Pacific amid an intensifying competition with China, Pyongyang’s major ally and economic lifeline. Sung Kim, Biden’s special envoy for North Korea, arrived in South Korea on Saturday for talks with allies on reviving negotiations with the North. The Biden administration’s pullout from Afghanistan underscored a broader shift in U.S. focus away from counterterrorism and so-called rogue states like North Korea and Iran. But the North has so far rejected the idea of open-ended talks, saying that Washington must abandon its “hostile policy,” a term North Korea mainly refers to sanctions and U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises.

In October, the starting pitchers are the stars. In the first five games of this National League Championship Series, a starting pitcher has reached the sixth inning once. The foundation: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, all marquee attractions as starting pitchers. So wouldn’t an emphasis on starting pitching make the games more attractive to watch? “I do know the game is really interesting when there are a lot of strategic decisions at the front.

This week, the right-leaning American Accountability Foundation first resurfaced a 2019 post from the public Facebook group. A member posted, "Let's welcome our newest members: Saule Omarova." A culture of diverse Marxist, Socialist and radical views is the framework for the group." GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREOmarova notably does not appear to have any posts currently live in the Facebook group. American Accountability Foundation Founder Tom Jones said Omarova's relatively recent membership in the Marxist Facebook group should undermine any attempt by the nominee to distance herself from past Marxist writings.

We know that the last major earthquake on the Hayward Fault occurred in 1868 — 153 years ago. We also know that, on average, dating back to the year 1134, the fault produces a major earthquake roughly every 150 years.

The ballpark at Howard Terminal is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to honor Oakland and boost the entire region’s economy for decades. That includes Alameda County and our Alameda County Board of Supervisors, who must vote to opt into the finance district that will fund key elements of the project, including critically needed affordable housing. There are important priorities the county is working on, and this project will actually help the county garner more taxes and more funds to continue that priority work. With a multi-billion-dollar commitment to build the ballpark and stay “rooted in Oakland,” the A’s have demonstrated both. Now it’s time for our partners at the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to show their vision and leadership and vote on Tuesday to support a unique opportunity all Bay Area residents will enjoy for generations to come.

We’re spending so much time debating the political posturing of one company because it’s not just any company: It’s In-N-Out. One of those rare things Californians from Redding to Chula Vista, rich and poor, red and blue, can agree upon, like a love of Huell Howser or a hatred for smug New Yorkers. To paraphrase Joan Didion, we tell ourselves lies in order to live in California, and In-N-Out proves that. In-N-Out has consistently donated tens of thousands of dollars to the California Republican Party and hundreds of thousands of dollars to restaurant and business lobbying groups. Gavin Newsom at an anti-recall election rally — never mind that In-N-Out had contributed $40,000 to the California Republican Party in July.

By Shira Ovide, The New York Times CompanyI’m going to pose an intentionally provocative question: What if smartphones are so successful and useful that they are holding back innovation? The challenge for any new technology is that smartphones succeeded to the point where it’s hard to imagine alternatives. Smartphones have succeeded to the point where we don’t need to pay them much notice. It’s true that devices like the Apple Watch, Facebook’s glasses and Snap’s Spectacles are clever about making features of smartphones less obtrusive.

Denver is asking not what Kennedy Golf Course can do for the city, but what the city can do for the golf course. Kennedy is the largest of Denver’s seven golf courses. There is also a par-three course on the golf campus that doubles with foot golf, and two putt-putt courses are adjacent to the clubhouse. Richard Mandell, a golf architect tapped to lead the city’s overhaul of the course, is looking to reshape it for the foreseeable future. Despite having some of the most challenging holes of Denver courses, Kennedy is showing its age.

To narrow the gap, Japan must address a severe shortage of technology workers and engineering students, a deficit made worse by the near absence of women. In the university programs that produce workers in these fields, Japan has some of the lowest percentages of women in the developed world, according to UNESCO data. “I’ve wondered why we don’t see the opposite very much.”Ito predicted mixed fortunes for Japanese women as the country digitizes. By age 15, Japanese girls and boys perform equally well in math and science on international standardized tests. “That’s really fulfilling.”Matsumoto said she, too, wanted to make life better for girls and women in Japan.

A narrow, triangular block in RiNo is slated to be the site of a new 49-unit, income-restricted condominium complex. The Chestnut Place Condos are planned to have 14 one-bedroom units, 27 two-bedroom units and eight three-bedroom units, as well as one commercial space. According to city documents, Elevation Community Land Trust has promised to buy the land and building when the project is completed.

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND — The final frontier has rarely seemed closer than this — at least virtually. The program — called Virtual Reality Universe Project, or VIRUP — pulls together what the researchers call the largest data set of the universe to create three-dimensional, panoramic visualizations of space. Downloading the software and content might seem onerous for the least-skilled computer users, and space — on a computer — will count. Then speed out to beyond the solar system and swing by Saturn, then up above the Milky Way, swirling and flashing and heaving — with exoplanets highlighted in red. For one of the biggest pictures of all, there’s a colorful visualization of the Cosmic Microwave Background — the radiation left behind from the Big Bang.

A month later came approval for certain people who’d received the Pfizer vaccine. Pfizer and Moderna vaccine recipientsThis week’s CDC approval of Moderna vaccines comes with the same qualifications as the authorization of third doses of Pfizer. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is believed to be less effective than the two-dose Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. People who originally received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can get their booster two months or more after their single dose, according to the CDC. And under the mix-and-match authorization, people who received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson shots can elect to receive a shot of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines as their booster.

Colorado’s unemployment rate continued to fall in September despite another month of below-average job gains tied to weaker-than-expected hiring in the public sector, according to an update Friday from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell from 5.9% in August to 5.6% in September, which equates to 10,100 fewer unemployed workers. Colorado ranks 35th for its unemployment rate, which remains stubbornly above the U.S. seasonally-adjusted rate of 4.8%. Gedney declined to attribute the end of enhanced federal unemployment benefits in early September to the drop in the state’s unemployment rate. Accounting for population gains, Colorado employers need to add 9,884 jobs a month to get back to pre-pandemic levels by 2023.

Milan Doshi had initially planned to sell The Queen Anne Bed & Breakfast after 10 years when he purchased it with his parents in 2008. Doshi said the bed and breakfast has seen 90 percent occupancy since reopening for full capacity in May this year after the pandemic. “We looked at about 150 properties across the country before closing on The Queen Anne,” Doshi said. “Operating a full-service bed and breakfast in the world of Airbnbs and commercial hotels is a diminishing industry,” Doshi said. But I’d feel really proud if someone kept running it as a bed and breakfast and got to see the legacy of The Queen Anne continue.

But last month Summit finalized a sales agreement with a group headed by Colorado natives and “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. He expects the neighborhood will look much different 10 years from now, and that Casa Bonita will be part of that transformation. “We are very enthusiastic about what is happening with Casa Bonita. “The West Colfax corridor is undergoing a renaissance,” Smith said, adding that the “South Park” purchase, which is awaiting approval in bankruptcy court, has done great things for marketing Casa Bonita. “Casa Bonita needs that neighborhood and the neighborhood needs Casa Bonita,” he said.

Nearly 80% of COVID-19 patients in Colorado hospitals are unvaccinated. At the previous worst point, in early December, 122 people were hospitalized in Larimer County with COVID-19, according to the county health department. “They’re on call, 24-7, managing the pandemic.”Despite the perception that Colorado hospitals are being overrun by out-of-state transfers, that’s not the case, Karsten said. It’s not just a Larimer County problem, said Dr. Diana Breyer, chief quality officer of UCHealth’s northern Colorado hospitals. Systemwide, UCHealth had 311 COVID-19 patients as of Friday, which is about the same number as in late December 2020.

LAS VEGAS — Army’s football game at Ball State became a conundrum tucked inside a mystery to Matt Metcalf, the Circa Sports oddsmaker whose journeys to finished lines are laced with aha! Metcalf questioned his power ratings, why the previous week he had opened Toledo, which he deemed as good as Army, at -3 against Ball State. Ball State money shaved the Black Knights’ edge to 4. Ball State won 28-16. Ball State won.

Andrea Reyes, like Katz, had grown up playing football for fun, starting unofficially in middle school with her friends at recess. Football is a no-cut sport at Payton College Prep, but that in no way means the team isn’t competitive. “There are a lot of stereotypes that get in the way of girls playing football,” Reyes said. The Grizzlies have faced seven teams this season, but Katz and Reyes haven’t seen another girl on the field. “I remember one time I was walking out of the locker room and the other team yelled, ‘Is that a female on the team?’ ” Katz said.

“I think this is good for women’s basketball,” Sky guard-forward Kahleah Copper said ahead of Game 3 of the series. When the series moved to Chicago, the Sky handed the Mercury a record-breaking loss. Taurasi vowed her team would be better in Game 4, but the Sky rallied from a 14-point deficit to secure their first championship. After the game, the Mercury declined to participate in league-mandated media availability, and the organization was fined $10,000. When asked if it was the door that Taurasi had broken, Sky coach/general manager James Wade gave a one-word answer.

“They’re a timing-based offense and they’ve been playing together with the O-line for quite some time,” Desai said. “These receivers and the tight ends have been playing together this year for quite some time. And so they’re in a rhythm. And so you’re able to get the ball out on time when everybody is in their spots that they’re supposed to be in and the quarterback knows what the coverages are and he knows where he’s got to deliver the ball. Pre-snap to that one second post-snap, he’s got a really good idea of where he wants to go with the ball.”

Biden met at the White House on Friday with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer joined by video call from from New York, trying to shore up details. On a visit to New York City, she said tensions often rise over final details but "I am confident, frankly -- not only optimistic, but I am confident that we will reach a deal." Biden wants a deal before he leaves next week for global summits in Europe. At the White House, the president has "rolled up his sleeves and is deep in the details of spreadsheets and numbers," press secretary Jen Psaki said. However, the vision care component, Biden said, has been harder to resolve and there is no consensus yet.

On the West Coast, Parker’s 13-year run with the Los Angeles Sparks was coming to a close after playoff exits in 2019 and 2020. The team was heading in a different direction under coach Derek Fisher, who inexplicably benched Parker in the 2019 semifinals on the brink of elimination while the forward still had enough in the tank to chase a second title. She entered free agency with an open mind about the possibilities of finding a new home.

Suffolk County police arrested a West Babylon man and charged him in connection with a crash that killed a Wyandanch mother and seriously injured her 11-year-old daughter Friday afternoon. Prior to the crash, police said Charles was observed by a police officer weaving in and out of traffic and driving into oncoming traffic. The driver of the Hyundai, Jennifer Figueroa, 30, and her daughter Anahi Sanchez were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip, where Figueroa was pronounced dead. Charles and a 14-year-old passenger were also taken by ambulance to be examined after the crash. Police are asking anyone with information about the crash to call 631-852-6553 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.

Then the political and social unrest of 2020 sent gun sales soaring, she said. “We have 8 million new gun owners now that we didn’t have before the pandemic and they all need ammunition. “We continue to produce and ship hunting ammunition for deer, waterfowl and upland game birds every day,’’ Jason Nash, Federal’s vice president of marketing, told the News Tribune. HOPE FOR NEXT YEARKukull said industry insiders predicted in 2020 that it would take two years for the ammunition shortage to end. “My gun sales haven’t dropped off at all,” she said.

Until recently, Sini's office continued plea negotiations and failed to indict county legislator William Spencer, a Democrat and physician, for supplying prostitutes with opioids in return for sex. Republican Raymond A. Tierney, 55, of Holtsville, worked in the Suffolk DA's office for six years before joining the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District in 2008. However, he said he would not continue Sini's new public integrity bureau which reviews claims of innocence and prosecutorial misconduct in prior cases. Tierney left the Justice Department in 2019 to take a top job in the Brooklyn district attorney's office, but it was not a job he could hold, ethically or practically, while running for the Suffolk post.

Oregon has regained nearly three-quarters of the jobs the state lost in the pandemic’s early days. The state’s unemployment rate has plunged from a record 13.2% in April 2020 to under 5% last month. Economists forecast the state will have regained all the lost jobs by the end of next summer, just over two years from the start of the COVID-19 recession. That’s an extraordinary recovery. By comparison, it took about seven years for Oregon to regain all the jobs lost to the Great Recession – even though the total job loss was much smaller.

Dane County Circuit Judge Jacob Frost issued a temporary injunction halting the season, which was set to begin Nov. 6. Frost said the law creating the wolf season is constitutional on its face, but that the DNR failed to create permanent regulations enacting it. Conservationists and wildlife advocates insist the wolf population is too fragile to support hunting and that the animals are too beautiful to destroy. The Trump administration removed them from the list last year and the decision became final in January, triggering a hunting season in Wisconsin.. The latest DNR estimates put the wolf population in Wisconsin at about 1,000.

(AP) — Mississippi prison employees will conduct once-a-week rehearsals as the state prepares for its first execution since 2012, Corrections Commissioner Burl Cain says. Cain told The Associated Press on Friday that the rehearsals for a lethal injection are usually done once a month at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, following a protocol that's about 20 pages long. The Mississippi Supreme on Thursday set a Nov. 17 execution date for David Neal Cox, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to killing his wife, Kim, in 2010 in the northern Mississippi town of Shannon. Cox withdrew his appeals and once filed court papers calling himself "worthy of death.” Mississippi has not had an execution since 2012, and it had six that year. Cain confirmed Mississippi has obtained lethal injection drugs, but he declined to say how.

“We cited everything from lack of payment for three weeks, taking our hotels away despite asking for them in our deals, lack of Covid safety, and on top of that, poor gun safety! Though we were not made aware of any official complaints concerning weapon or prop safety on set, we will be conducting an internal review of our procedures while production is shut down. We will continue to cooperate with the Santa Fe authorities in their investigation and offer mental health services to the cast and crew during this tragic time. “No one has been held and there have been no arrests,” Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Juan Rios said on Friday.

Angela Merkel, the outgoing chancellor of Germany, seemed wary of offering her hand for a full handshake with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, at a Brussels summit.

'So many people, girls and boys, men and women, have had a role model who they could look up to through challenging times. I know because I am one of them. Danke schön'

Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s top oil exporters, has announced it aims to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060 and more than double its annual target to reduce carbon emissions. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made the announcement in brief scripted remarks at the start of the kingdom’s first Saudi Green Initiative Forum. The kingdom’s oil and gas exports form the backbone of its economy, despite efforts to diversify away from its reliance on fossil fuels for revenue. The prince said the Saudi Green Initiative and a wider Middle East Green Initiative, which Riyadh will host on Monday, would help to accelerate the progress already made. “At the same time, the ongoing pandemic has highlighted that human health, planetary health and economic health are fundamentally interconnected.

Merchant’s new six-part series, The Outlaws, co-created with Elgin James, follows the fortunes of seven strangers doing community service in Merchant’s former hometown of Bristol. I like there to be humour in things but what I often go to, if I’m watching TV, is thrillers. I kept thinking of The Outlaws as a western, but a really pedestrian, suburban, low-rent kind of western. It’s the maddest thing I’ve ever seen. Out of Office: Merchant and Ricky Gervais first worked together doing an ‘entirely made-up job’ on radio station XFM.

British officials have wargamed pulling out of the Horizon Europe programme in case France carries out its threat to block the UK’s associate membership of the 100bn programme over the Brexit fishing row. Contingency plans have been drawn up to support research by UK universities and companies if the government decides to quit the €10bn flagship programme rather than wait, the Telegraph can reveal. The UK agreed to continue participating in the Horizon research programme after Brexit because it was seen as a profitable enterprise for the country’s scientists and universities. The programme’s predecessor, Horizon 2020, involved more than 100 countries around the world and provided about 11 per cent of research funding to UK universities. Paris is furious that the UK approved just 15 permits out of 47 applications for small French fishing boats to operate in its coastal waters.

But Councillor Robert Canning expressed concern that the cash injection could be lost if motorists obey the rules. He insisted the “ambition” was for motorists to obey the new road closures, but the extra income would help pay for the concessionary public transport fare scheme given to pensioners. Row over use of ANPR camerasA slide shown to councillors explained how funding from the Department of Transport and Transport for London to pay for new ANPR cameras “remains uncertain”. Those organisations could “put into jeopardy any future funding and the council will incur costs of removing the schemes” if they had to be abandoned, it said. “Enabling walking and cycling is a key priority for the council, and a major goal of Transport for London and the Department for Transport when providing funding for these schemes.

“Somebody somewhere started a Bipoc [Black, Indigenous, People of Color] rugby Facebook group. “I grew up in Chicago and rugby wasn’t a thing there,” she says.

Russia reported a record 1,075 Covid deaths in 24 hours on Saturday as Europe’s hardest-hit country with dramatically low vaccination rates prepares for nationwide curbs from next week. Despite multiple pleas from President Vladimir Putin and the availability of the homegrown Sputnik V vaccine, only 36% of Russians are fully vaccinated. Putin also ordered a nationwide paid week off starting on 30 October to curb fast-spreading infections. Putin this week linked Russia’s high death rates to what he called an “unfortunately” low vaccination rate and urged Russians to show “responsibility” and get the jab. Although it is being used in dozens of countries, Sputnik V is not approved by the EU or the World Health Organization.

Salvini was present for the opening day of the trial in Palermo, Sicily, which was expected to deal mostly with procedural requests.

Prosecutors accuse Salvini of dereliction of duty and kidnapping for refusing to allow the ship into port for days in August 2019. During the nearly three-week standoff, some migrants threw themselves overboard in desperation and the captain pleaded for a safe, nearby port.

Rishi Sunak will have one eye firmly on the next election when he steps up to the despatch box on Wednesday to deliver his third Budget. Even in the unique pandemic era of battered public finances, Sunak is treading a well-worn path for chancellors: restraint today, giveaways tomorrow. Keeping the purse strings tight now means Sunak can woo voters with big tax cuts before Britons go to the polls. “As chancellor, you wouldn’t really want to be coming into an election with lots of big tax rises starting to bite,” says James Smith, research director at the Resolution Foundation. Its forecast is expected to be positive for Sunak after a quicker than expected recovery since March and hopes of reduced long-term scarring.

It certainly startled one chap I overheard leaving Ally Pally after Friday’s show. Amstell is such a frank performer that his stand-up scripts, published as Help in 2017, neatly doubled as an autobiography. It’s a pothole he falls into in the second half of Spirit Hole, which, though engaging and neatly structured, finds him retreading those familiar themes. The first half, though, is excellent; its routines on aging and status anxiety might be his tightest and funniest writing to date. The delivery is superb, too, and he knows it, with the confidence to give each punchline plenty of space.

Parents who are occasionally abrupt with their children and hold low-key celebrations may be guilty of ‘mild neglect’, according to NSPCC guidance. Child protection social workers use the Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) to score parents they suspect of neglecting their children on a scale of one to five, with one being the best and five the worst. Other behaviours which score three include being mostly warm and responsive to your child but "occasionally flat, brisk or abrupt, when burdened with problems". In June an initial report from the Independent Review of Social Care, said social services spend too much time investigating struggling families rather than helping them. “By identifying needs in this way, professionals can ensure children and families are getting the support they need.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Friday examined how the political right is “cultivating nastiness as a political virtue.”Instead of “virtue-signaling,” Hayes suggested in a segment about the “cruelty at the core” of the Republican Party that right-wingers were now embracing “vice signaling.”Advertisement“‘Look at me, I’m a loud, ostentatious jerk’ is increasingly what it means to be a right-wing politician in America these days,” he posited. Hayes noted multiple instances of Republicans shamelessly attempting to ride out scandals, saying: “The ability to make people believe that’s all nonsense, or maybe that it’s true and they don’t care because you’re sticking your finger in the eye of them, that is the dangerous political superpower that all of these people are desperate to develop.”

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Kyrsten SinemaBiden injects new momentum into filibuster fight On The Money — Democrats confident cuts won't water down bill Sinema's office outlines opposition to tax rate hikes MORE's office on Friday outlined the senator's opposition to raising tax rates, saying the Arizona Democrat thinks that just increasing rates "will not in any way address the challenge of tax avoidance or improve economic competitiveness." "She has told her colleagues and the president that simply raising tax rates will not in any way address the challenge of tax avoidance or improve economic competitiveness." Biden and House Democrats both released plans earlier this year to raise the corporate tax rate, the top individual income tax rate and the top capital gains rate.

Russia insists that all foreign forces, including Turkish troops and Turkish-backed militias, should withdraw while Moscow is increasing its coordination with Egypt. According to sources familiar with the withdrawal process, Turkey pulled Syrian mercenaries stationed in Misrata and Tripoli out of the country on three separate flights over the past two months. In addition to the Syrian fighters, foreign mercenaries within Hifter’s ranks also involve Chad and Sundanese militia. According to the SOHR, the total number of Syrian mercenaries fighting in Libya reaches some 7,000. Russia, in turn, argues that all foreign forces, including the Turkish troops, should withdraw in a gradual and synchronized manner.

Smith didn’t follow the recommended QAnon groups, but whatever algorithm Facebook was using to determine how she should engage with the platform pushed ahead just the same. People radicalized through these rabbit holes make up a small slice of total users, but at Facebook’s scale, that can mean millions of individuals. By summer 2020, Facebook was hosting thousands of private QAnon groups and pages, with millions of members and followers, according to an unreleased internal investigation. Drebbel identified 5,931 QAnon groups with 2.2 million total members, half of which joined through so-called gateway groups.

Remember his return from Walter Reed Medical Center to the White House? Losing the election in November and having to move out of the White House has given him something to focus on, however. The centerpiece of Trump's personal Lost Cause is nursing his grudge, and the collective grudge of his followers, against the "elites" they blame for bringing down the dream. Perhaps the most important way the South promoted its Lost Cause after the Civil War was through electoral and legislative means. Donald Trump had to be handed a loss in 2020 in order to begin championing his new Lost Cause.

The White House said Friday it would delay the release of long-classified documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. In 2017, former president Donald Trump released several thousand secret files on the assassination, but withheld others on national security grounds. The White House said the national archivist needs more time for a review into that redaction, which was slowed by the pandemic. U.S. law requires that all government records on the assassination be disclosed "to enable the public to become fully informed." The National Archives has released thousands of documents to the public as part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, informally known as the JFK Act.

Crane says the 2017 scandal - and the World Series title tainted by it "gets brought up every day," and so even a man as wealthy and insulated as he can't avoid it. "He said," Crane said Friday of Bassitt, "we weren’t the only team doing it." His potential World Series opponent might disagree. And will discuss managing beyond 2021 with 72-year-old skipper Dusty Baker after the World Series. And, regardless of whether Correa re-signs or the Astros win a second championship or fans from L.A. to the Bronx forgive or forget or keep up the pressure, Crane does not anticipate standing down.

USA TODAY's Barbara VanDenburgh scopes out the shelves for this week’s hottest new book releases. The buzz: “Cathartic and revelatory, Cumming’s memoir will fascinate fans and those who relate to his internal struggle," says Kirkus Reviews. The buzz: “This smart, readable biography chronicles Merkel’s remarkable odyssey, weaving her career in the context of the European politics of the day,” writes USA TODAY Washington Bureau chief Susan Page in a ???½ (out of four) review. The buzz: “Readers will want to see a lot more of intelligent, ambitious, and assertive Jordan,” says a starred review in Publishers Weekly. The buzz: “Lively descriptive prose enhances the tight plot of this episodic crime novel, which reads like a TV show in narrative form.

Festive and earthy, these bars are made with canned pumpkin purée, which nudges them toward cake territory while maintaining that chewy, rich and irresistible blondie texture.

It is not known how the art Pereda tried to sell was forged, but Marinello said it’s not hard in this high-tech age. A forged painting alleging to be a collaboration between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring was part of Pereda’s bust. Facebook; Southern District of New YorkIt is no coincidence that many forged works are contemporary. Fakes, like this so-called “Mao” (top right), which was confiscated by feds from a Los Angeles-based art forger, often have telltale signs. “De Kooning is a big name and this [forgery] would be a trophy for a money manager who is naive about art,” Levene said.

One New Jersey town has seen five school bus crashes in just over a month, according to reports. The motorist who sparked the incident was cited for careless driving, while the man whose car hit the school bus suffered an ankle injury. The crash Thursday night was the second of the day, and fifth involving a school bus since mid-September, when a school bus “wound up perched on another vehicle,” Patch reported. Two days later — on Oct. 8 — a school bus with 30 students on board was hit by another vehicle, whose driver ran a stop sign, NJ.com reported. Local cops have promised to review all school bus crashes in hopes of preventing more mayhem, the Lakewood Scoop reported.

“My mother fled Cuba in October of 1965,” Miyares said. “And almost 50 years to the day she left she was able to go in the voting booth and get a ballot and vote for me to represent her in the oldest democracy in the Western hemisphere. That’s what I call the American miracle.”

A man who had been shot during the incident on Kennedy Street NW was in surgery Friday evening, said D.C. Police Chief Robert J. Contee III. Contee said the man had been hit in the torso.

“When … you look ahead at the next four years some of the most important issues of our day are being fought out in court: gun violence prevention, voting rights, women’s reproductive rights, health care,” Herring said in an interview. “On all of those issues, my opponent is wildly out of step with where Virginians are. There could not be a clearer contrast between the two of us.”

I’m focused on local issues. Having knocked on more than 1,350 doors, I find residents love our city, but sense something is amiss — that they are not being heard and their concerns about the city are not being addressed. It is time City Hall lines up its priorities with residents’ and gets the job done.

Instead, candidates have taken sides in the Democratic fight over passing most of Biden’s agenda in the budget reconciliation bill and pledged to change its policy toward Haiti. Nearly 200,000 Haitian Americans live in Broward and Palm Beach counties, most of them in the 20th District. While many are not eligible to vote, the candidates have rallied with them, echoing criticism from both South Florida Democrats and the Congressional Black Caucus. Where the candidates differ on that issue isn’t over whether to let more Haitians come to the United States, but over how many resources they’d fight for to make that happen.

McCain also describes herself as a victim of “media abuse” and unfair coverage, pointing to a steady stream of articles during her tenure that included barbs about her attributed to anonymous sources. “Think of all the famously combative male TV anchors on shows with far smaller ratings and much lower profiles,” she writes. “If they raise their voices, they’re respected as passionate and serious. If I push for my ideas, I’m a princess menacing everyone with snow monsters. [ …] The constant media slams were so emotionally and mentally taxing that I thought about leaving many times during those first months.”

Some of those who have sold are saying they should have the right to buy their houses back. Others accuse those who have held out of splitting the community and say that if they were forced to sell for it to be flattened, it should be. The tensions have boiled over on social media.

“The lists only restrict a few areas of support, which has left us with a very wide scope to work together on many other fronts of implementation,” said Emilio Archila, Duque’s presidential adviser for stabilization and consolidation. He stressed that the decision is up to the United States, not Colombia. While U.S. support has been essential to the implementation of the peace accords, Archila wrote in an email, “the leadership is our responsibility.”

“In terms of these blue light blockers, people have used ingredients like zinc titanium, but mostly iron — arguing that we’re putting minerals on the skin that then are going to reflect off that light,” Suozzi said. “But if you think about the physics of visible light, unless you had an opaque shield or some topical compound that looked completely white on your skin, you’re not going to be reflecting off the light. Just by physics, it doesn’t make sense. So that’s where I think it becomes really misleading to patients. … That’s so many degrees of misinformation.”

“Eddie’s been great for a long time now, and when you get that kind of hotness, it’s a good feeling. I was on second base for the last home run [in Game 4], and he swung under a 1-0 splitter,” said Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman, indicating just how well Rosario seemed to see the ball, that he could not only anticipate the movement of a splitter but adjust so completely as to have overcompensated. “It’s very hard to swing under a splitter, and he did it. Then he didn’t swing under the next one.”

Coach Penny Hardaway believes he has just the right mix for Memphis to chase the Tigers' first national men's basketball championship. 1 recruiting class, but you have some really good veterans to have that mix of older and younger, and that just makes the blend of that is so much better this time around." The last time Memphis started a season ranked, they were 14th in 2019-20 with Hardaway's first top recruiting class. 1 recruiting class of six freshmen is led by 6-foot-8 guard Emoni Bates, who reclassified from 2022. Memphis also plays in the NIT Season Tip-Off against Virginia Tech with a second game against either Xavier or Iowa State.

Dan Hurley needed three seasons as UConn's coach to get the Huskies back into the NCAA Tournament after a five-year absence. Andre Jackson, last year's big-name recruit, is coming off and injury-plagued freshman season, but is healthy headed into this season. "Now a good player that’s not doing the things that we need him to do for us to win isn’t going to play." So 45:07 has become the team’s mantra this season, with Hurley saying he may make it into a T-shirt. UConn opens the season on Nov. 9 in Storrs against Central Connecticut.

After helping lead Team USA to an Olympic gold medal as an assistant under coach Gregg Popovich, the 59-year-old Wright was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. If Mike Krzyzewski is Coach K and John Wooden was The Wizard of Westwood, might it be time to assign Wright some catchy nickname? "Call me good when we win and bad when we lose," Wright said, with a laugh. He is a two-time winner of the Naismith National Coach of the Year award (2006 and 2016) and The Associated Press men’s college basketball Coach of the Decade. Those guys are teaching our younger guys," Wright said.

The substance misuse crisis is ravaging communities in New Hampshire and across the country – and in many communities, drug overdose deaths increased during the pandemic. Substance misuse is complicated, and there is no one path to addiction. Often though, substance misuse starts with taking a prescription drug – sometimes ones that have been prescribed, and sometimes from old, unused pills left in medicine cabinets. Through this effort, we can help prevent the misuse of prescription medication, and in turn, substance misuse. Across the country, we are also seeing a rise in dangerous drugs such as fentanyl and methamphetamine disguised as legitimate prescription drugs.

Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby still isn't sure when he will be cleared to return after he had left wrist surgery last month. The team announced at the time of the procedure that Crosby would miss a minimum of six weeks. The Penguins have gotten off to a solid start without Crosby and longtime star Evgeni Malkin, who is recovering from knee surgery. "We’re just, I mean everyone is playing the same way," Crosby said. Forward Bryan Rust is "week to week" with a lower-body injury.

That's not a knock on the group Few has assembled for this season, which may end up being one of the most talented rosters Gonzaga has ever had. They may end up equally equipped to contend for the program’s first national title by the end of the season. Gonzaga returns Timme, perhaps the preseason favorite for national player of the year. The talent is certainly there, it’s just a matter of how quickly Gonzaga can fit the pieces together. Few’s first game on the sideline will be Nov. 13 when the Zags host Texas in a showdown of top 10 teams.

Two officials attending the conference told Bloomberg the EU will not host its annual reception and guidelines have been issued for socializing. One official said invitations to events will be assessed closely and that the EU has scaled back the number of officials attending the conference by 20-30 percent. If necessary, EU-hosted events will be held online, instead of following the planned hybrid format, the report said. The United Kingdom is experiencing a resurgence in new COVID-19 cases, with an infection rate over three-times the EU average. All delegates attending COP26 are expected to sign up to a COVID-19 code of conduct and undergo daily tests.

Nine of the ten victims whose remains were found along Ocean Parkway in Suffolk County are believed to have been sex workers. Sini, a former federal prosecutor with a background in cold case investigations, has invested more than $300,000 in advanced technology to analyze old phone data in the case. Sini noted that while the killer used a burner or "throwaway phone" to contact victims, the killer likely also carried a regular, traceable cell phone. One question befuddled investigators from the beginning: Were they hunting for one serial killer or more than one killer? "But when you're engaged in an investigation, especially a serial killer investigation, you have to keep an open mind.

The scale of those problems has California’s iconic cannabis industry — the legal side, at least — lagging behind other states that have regulated the market. Many in the industry say they generally support criminal justice reforms, but that the current penalty of a misdemeanor and $500 fine is simply too low to dissuade illicit activity. Every state establishing a legal market has had to contend with illicit operations, but the underground market in California is far more entrenched. Underground dispensaries are often indistinguishable from licensed shops and sell similar-looking items that may be counterfeit or diverted from the legal market. Leaders within the cannabis industry say finding a solution for the tax problem is their top priority for next year.

“I’m a Never Trump guy,” Vance said in an interview with Charlie Rose in 2016, a clip used in both the new ads. “I never liked him.”Both ads also feature a screenshot of a Vance tweet from October 2016. JD Vance, the venture capitalist and author of "Hillbilly Elegy", addresses a rally in Ohio on July 1. Former state GOP Chair Jane Timken, technology company executive Bernie Moreno and state Sen. Matt Dolan registered in single digits. Trump carried the one-time swing state by 8 points in 2016 and won it again by the same margin in 2020.

The Powell Doctrine drew on principles first formulated by Reagan’s Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger in the 1980s. In the run-up to the Gulf War, Powell took Weinberger’s principles and ran with them, arguing that war should be rare and limited. It was, in short, the Powell Doctrine in action. At the peak of Colin Powell’s career, the Powell Doctrine could not persuade policymakers who were determined to use American power to reshape the world. The prudent ideas underlying the Powell Doctrine are making a resurgence.

Draymond's mindset on early-season free throw struggles originally appeared on NBC Sports BayareaAlthough his team is undefeated and looking like one of the best in the Western Conference, Draymond Green's struggles from the line have made for a frustrating start for the Warriors' forward. A career 71 percent shooter from the line, Green's struggles are apparent, but not a concern quite yet. It was a s----y effort from the free throw line Tuesday and one tonight," Green said after Thursday's game. "Hopefully these coaches will see this and start doing the Hack-a-Draymond so I can get some free points, and I'll start hittin' them shits." Green has never really been known for his free throw shooting, oftentimes hovering around league average each year.

Women's pro soccer players just the latest to deal with abuseEnlarge this image toggle caption Steve Dipaola/AP Steve Dipaola/APOne more U.S. soccer match to go for Carli Lloyd. The country's top women's pro soccer league, the NWSL, is still reeling from a scandal involving multiple coaches and alleged abusive behavior toward players. Klingenberg and all the other NWSL players who spoke to reporters that night, after their games, refused to talk about what happened on the field. The demands include thorough and expanded investigations into the allegations of coach abuse and the league's handling of those allegations. Still, Rachel Wood says the movement the NWSL players are creating is giving people the courage to come forward and shine a spotlight on abuse.

I wanted to name our beer after Tupac and Biggie Smalls, but we ended up settling on 'Orange You Glad I Didn't Order Wine.'" "There's a lot of tension right here in Washington," he said. Once he stopped laughing, he said they will take turns displaying the trophy in their Capitol Hill offices to keep with the spirit of the competition.

The centerpiece of that effort was an expanded child tax credit that automatically goes out to families each month through the end of the year. The $3.5 trillion plan would have made the child tax credit permanent. How the policies are intertwinedWhat ultimately ends up in the package will likely determine whether the long-term impact will match Biden's rhetoric on equity. There's also been talk of requiring people to have a job to receive the child tax credit. White House adviser Boushey said all of these programs are supposed to be aimed at the families who need the most help.

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp plans to close two Houston-area office towers to consolidate staff in its main campus as it cuts costs following staff departures, the company said on Friday. Exxon announced last year a plan to reduce its global workforce by 14,000 people following a historical annual loss of $22.4 billion. Remaining workers at the two office buildings known as Hughes Landing, in The Woodlands (TX), will be relocated to the company's main Houston-area campus, Exxon spokesperson Casey Norton said. "As the tax discussions are resolved, we look forward to welcoming those employees back to our larger space on the Houston campus," Exxon said in a note. The company has been conducting performance assessment programs resulting in job dismissals and voluntary departures.

In addition to building out a social network, Trump Media & Technology Group plans to have a subscription streaming service spanning news, entertainment and podcasts. The former president previously ran a publicly traded company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, which included many of his Atlantic City casinos. A SPAC can bring a company public in three to six months, experts say, where a traditional IPO rarely takes less than a year, and often double that. A wave of class-action lawsuits this year is targeting SPAC companies, after some suffered brutal stock price drops.

But corporate money is surely the villain behind the latest roadblock to President Joe Biden’s agenda: Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s opposition to any rollback to Donald Trump’s big 2017 corporate tax cut. After all, Sinema, who was in the House of Representatives at the time, voted against that tax cut. And she attacked the tax cut the next year during her run for the Senate. That said, the Biden agenda doesn’t need the revenue from a higher corporate tax rate. In fact, given the arithmetic you might wonder why Biden ever wanted to raise taxes enough to fully pay for his investment agenda.

DANVILLE – Monte Vista had a fast start Friday night against visiting California and never trailed in a 27-22 victory to stay undefeated. Monte Vista limited Cal to 71 yards passing in the first half and 89 in the game. The teams traded interceptions, as Cal’s Dom Tuyor nabbed a Devitt pass and returned the pick 41 yards to the Monte Vista 24.

For Monte Vista, Wright rushed five times for 79 yards, and teammate Cole Boscia caught a game-high six passes for 69 yards.

SANTA CLARA – Hosting a Sunday night game is a perk best traced to the 49ers’ Super Bowl campaign two years ago. “That’s what you live for as a football player, to be on prime time when the whole world is watching you,” right tackle Mike McGlinchey said. SPOTLIGHT ON GAROPPOLOJimmy Garoppolo engineered a last-minute, go-ahead touchdown drive the last time a prime-time, national audience saw the 49ers. Rather, Garoppolo must be prepared to win without relying so heavily on a play-action attack, mainly because the 49ers’ running backs aren’t as reliable as in past seasons.

California was the last Western state in 2014 to regulate groundwater, requiring a balance between pumping and replenishing.

On a recent Friday afternoon, Bay Area listeners who had their radio stations tuned to KITS 105.3 FM noticed something odd. “It was hard to turn off the radio station at the time because you didn’t want to miss anything,” Masters said. Our slogan was, ‘The station that dares to be different.’ ”As music tastes evolved, so did Live 105. It was the first mainstream outlet in the Bay Area for grunge, electronic dance music, pop-punk, emo and so on. Mary Nite, who worked as an account executive at Live 105 for more than 20 years, said it felt like family.

KEY MATCHUPWhen the Bears beat the Buccaneers 20-19 last year at Soldier Field, Tom Brady was in his fifth game with the Bucs. The Bears’ secondary has a rising star in second-year cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who contained Packers standout Davante Adams last week. But the Buccaneers are the No.1 rushing defense in the NFL (54.8 yards per game) and second in yards per carry (3.4). The Bears have five rushing touchdowns in the past three games. The Buccaneers have allowed three rushing touchdowns all season.

Either the Broncos tight end needs to learn how to break tackles, or quarterback Teddy Bridgewater needs to stop throwing him the ball short of the line to gain on third down. Until then, the Grading the Week staff is out on offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur selecting that play from his extensive arsenal. Pat Shurmur — DIt’s become something of a broken record with the Broncos the past few games. Tad Boyle — A+A tip of the cap to the CU Buffs men’s basketball coach for sounding the alarm well ahead of time. Speaking at the team’s media day earlier this week, Boyle implored Buffs fans to not sell their tickets to the blue-clad masses when the Kansas Jayhawks come to Boulder on Dec. 21.

It is remarkable that a defense with so many first-round picks, led by Chase Young, can be so bad. WFT is second-worst in yards allowed (423.0), worst in pass defense (309.5) and worst in points allowed (31.0). The 1-4 Fins are a 2 1/2-point favorite and declined the post-London bye week to play the Falcons, who were off last week. Through six games, Green Bay’s Davante Adams (668) and the Los Angeles Rams’ Cooper Kupp (653) are averaging 100-plus yards per game. Both players should have big games Sunday — Adams faces Washington’s league-worst pass defense and Kupp plays the 19th-ranked Detroit pass defense.

Makar, a 2021 Norris Trophy finalist as the NHL’s best overall defenseman, was tied for the league’s worst plus-minus rating entering Saturday’s game at Tampa Bay. Makar was minus-5 in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss at Washington, and minus-3 in Thursday’s 4-1 loss at Florida. Makar had just one point, an assist, through the first four games, and he looks nothing like the perennial Norris Trophy candidate he’s expected to be. It just takes a few games to get into the groove,” Makar said of not playing in a preseason game. For Makar, missing all of the team’s preseason games appears to impacted his ability to perform at an elite level.

But for more than a year after COVID-19 began, Ridge Rock sat empty, unable to host its loyal patrons inside its historic brick building at Carp’s central intersection. Lindsey Osborne, Ridge Rock’s head of sales and marketing, has found his assistance invaluable. Ridge Rock bolstered their marketing efforts, too. His fellow owners and employees held a send-off party for him Sept. 3 on the Ridge Rock patio. Back in Carp, Osborne can see the light at the end of the COVID tunnel.

DEAR ABBY: My mom and I have always been close, but since I got married, I have been having a hard time setting boundaries. Within an hour of the passing, the news was all over social media. We barely had time to react, let alone inform all our family members. Imagine finding out a loved one passed away from a non-family member’s social media posting. I am sure that feelings are raw because people are hurting, but please realize that because of social media, news travels like wildfire.

Jackson Adams and his friends made a decision four years ago that altered the landscape of Colorado high school football. “Arapahoe and Cherry Creek were both in my top three when I was deciding where I wanted to go to high school. Multiple other guys were looking that direction,” recalled Adams, now a senior outside linebacker and Arapahoe team captain. That’s when Rod Sherman — the three-time 5A state championship head coach at Valor Christian — got hired at Arapahoe. “A lot of these kids could have gone to Creek, Valor or any other school,” Nuu said.

A 91-year-old cab driver was shot Saturday night in a carjacking in Roseland on the Far South Side. The driver was sitting in a blue Hyundai in the 10700 block of South Longley Avenue about 4:30 a.m. when he was forced out of his car at gunpoint and shot after complying with the gunman, Chicago police said. He was shot in his right hand and leg, and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was in fair condition, police said. No one was in custody.

Against a young quarterback like Justin Fields that doesn’t have a feel for the pocket yet, that could be trouble. There’s not much daylight to run the ball against Vea and Ndamukong Suh, and the second part is that is even more important with those tackles controlling inside blocks. When you combo block, you can’t climb to the linebackers because you can’t come off those tackles. You do that and they’re getting in the backfield and meeting the running back. The Bucs have ridiculous speed at the second level, linebackers who can cut off the ball consistently because they’re running free.”

Hardy pandered to a small group of voters who confuse opposition to the existence of Israel with a social justice stance. If he had seriously examined the issues, he would have realized that one can be both progressive on domestic issues, such as economic justice and health care, and support the existence of the Jewish state, the only democracy in the Middle East. Your editorial feeds the pernicious myth that Jewish and Black interests are in conflict, which they are not. The late and greatly-missed Rep. Alcee Hastings understood this very clearly.

With rents so high, she has also been looking for a home to buy. But the housing market isn’t much better and Delgado keeps getting out-bid. While she spends her free time checking for new listings, she has cut back on spending on things she enjoys doing — going out with friends or seeing a movie.

In the nearly 50 years he has lived in Nassau, calls made from one 516 number to another in 516 needed only the seven-digit phone number for the call to be completed. Must I use 10 digits (area code + phone number) or 11 digits (1 + area code + phone number)? Young, a Verizon spokesman, says 11 digits (1 + area code + phone number) should be dialed on that company’s systems, regardless of whether you’ve got a VoIP phone, a more-traditional phone line or a cellphone. Locally, affected area codes are 607 (the Southern Tier, which includes Binghamton), 716 (the Buffalo area), 845 (the Hudson Valley) and 914 (Westchester). In how much of the United States is seven-digit dialing within an area code still permitted?

The Church celebrated it in the form of the Latin Mass, also called Tridentine Mass, from the 16th Century until the early 1960s. Catholics who worship at the Latin Mass say they find beauty, mystery, and religious intensity in the ancient liturgy. "The Latin mass is so reverent. Henry and Lea Hansen, who live in Babylon, were married in July at a Latin Mass in Bellmore. While supporting the pope, he acknowledged that the Traditional Mass had drawn younger Catholics.

Once his wife had been upgraded to a walking boot and could drive, Silverman took off again on July 1 for Buffalo to pick up where he’d left off — this time by himself. In addition to using the Adventure Cycling website, Silverman surfed the internet for cycling routes, hotels and campsites. "Every night when I finished, I would plan out the next day," Silverman said, scoping out where to eat and whether to camp or find a motel. Back on the road and in Minneapolis on July 25, Silverman took off two more days to spend with his wife, who’d flown in. In spite of the mountainous terrain, cold, rain and wind, the hardest part of the trip, Silverman admitted, was being away from his wife for so long.

Long Island should see a cool, clear weekend before a wet week ahead, according to the National Weather Service. The forecast calls for partly sunny skies Saturday and Sunday with high temperatures barely reaching 60 degrees.

There aren’t many politicians in New York turning up at crime scenes hours after a murder to give stump speeches. But then there aren’t many politicians like Curtis Sliwa. Mr Sliwa announced an unexpected run for mayor last year and in June took 69 per cent of the vote against his rival to win the Republican nomination. The US recorded the biggest yearly rise in murders since the start of national record-keeping in the 1960s. Homicides in New York spiked nearly 50 per cent, to 468.

Norwich head coach Daniel Farke feels his side will face "the toughest task in world football" when they take on Chelsea today against "one of the greatest coaches on this planet" in good friend Thomas Tuchel. "We know that we face the toughest task in world football - a world-class coach, world-class players and a world-class club," said Farke. "They are the reigning Champions League winners and they are top of the league, in the best league in the world. Norwich will be without on-loan Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour at Stamford Bridge as he cannot face his parent club. At the other end of the pitch, meanwhile, Chelsea will be shorn of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner after they were injured during the 4-0 Champions League win over Malmo.

But she is never strident and she writes without bile or sneer: one feels she is calmly accepting of what the philosopher Immanuel Kant called “the crooked timber of humanity”. In George Orwell she finds a literary soul mate. Her Orwell isn’t a tub-thumper or a prophet. It is this latter aspect of Orwell that Solnit’s elegantly light-footed and free-wheeling series of essays explores – and one that previous biographers and commentators have largely ignored. It starts with Solnit making a pilgrimage to the Hertfordshire village of Wallington, where Orwell rented a cottage from 1936 to 1940.

The British public has been targeted by an email phishing scam which misuses the NHS brand in order to scam victims of their money. However, one scam in particular has targeted people based in Britain. The NHS Covid scam is notable for its sophistication, according to Kiri Addison, of Mimecast. The attack would typically start with an email offering Covid travel passports and contains a link to a professional-looking website, based on the layout of government and NHS sites. Instead fraudsters make use of the NHS logo to fool people into trusting the website and handing over their personal information.

It comes as trade union leaders warned No10 it risks another 'winter of chaos' if it does not immediately adopt its Covid Plan B. The Government has insisted the triggering of 'Plan B' is not imminent, with the focus currently on rolling out vaccine booster shots. Scientific advisers have told the Government it must ensure Plan B restrictions to tackle coronavirus can be 'rapidly' deployed if needed. UK Hospitality CEO Kate Nicholls warned that businesses will not survive another winter of lockdown restrictions. Asked on Times Radio if she thought businesses would survive if the Government goes ahead with Plan B, she said: 'No I don't, bluntly.

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he's 'sleeping good' as Manchester United tumble down the table, promising the trophies he brings to Old Trafford will hush the doubters. Liverpool will arrive at Old Trafford on Sunday as favourites to pile the hurt onto Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Jurgen Klopp's men unbeaten and flying high. It means his team-mates must shoulder the load, but Solskjaer has yet to mould his collection of superstars into a united force. But my role in the club is to win, help the team to win and to score goals - [the defensive side] is part of my job,' Ronaldo told Sky Sports. Ronaldo won't let either manager block him from more silverware, and has looked to take United's troubles into his own hands this season.

By Alexander CornwellDUBAI – Afghanistan is heading towards economic collapse that risks spiralling the country into a new political crisis, Sweden’s minister for international development cooperation warned on Saturday. The Red Cross on Friday urged https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/red-cross-warns-aid-groups-not-enough-stave-off-afghan-humanitarian-crisis-2021-10-22 the international community to engage with the Taliban, warning that aid groups on their own could only provide temporary solutions. However Sweden would not channel development money through the Taliban, he said. The movement has faced international criticism for its failure to uphold certain rights since returning to power, including allowing girls access to education. European countries were not ready to reopen their Kabul embassies, Fridh said, adding that more diplomatic missions would open in Qatar before there is a return to Afghanistan.

After firing the gun, Baldwin's immediate reaction was to ask why he'd been handed a 'hot' gun - meaning one containing live bullets. One text message that was circulating on social media, shared repeatedly by union members, refers to a 'walk out' by staff the day before the tragedy. Union members vented on social media before the tragedy about the poor conditions on the set of the film. Baldwin recorded a video of himself encouraging the union members to strike if they felt they needed to, saying studio bosses 'don't give a f**k about you', that the union shared online.

Although Allegri did not say whether the 27-year-old would start at the San Siro on Sunday his return is a boost for Juve as they try to continue their march up the table. "Dybala is available, he's well, he's done two training sessions with the squad so he'll be available," Allegri told reporters. Around 56,000 fans are expected at the San Siro as Inter host their first big match since maximum stadium capacities were increased to 75 percent by the Italian government earlier this month. Champions Inter fell to defeat at Lazio last time out after a second-half meltdown over refereeing decisions but looked strong in their 3-1 Champions League win over Sheriff Tiraspol midweek.

On the opening day of trial in Palermo, prosecutors asked that they be allowed to question Salvini, who was present in court, on the stand. Prosecutors have asked that the witness list include Conte, as well as Italy's current Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio. Ahead of the hearing, Open Arms' founder and director Oscar Camps said the trial was not politically motivated. A related case in which Salvini was accused of blocking other migrants at sea on an Italian coastguard boat was thrown out by a court in Catania earlier this year. When he blocked the ships, Salvini was part of a coalition government and held the positions of interior minister and deputy prime minister.

Sitting cross-legged on a bed of pine needles and dead leaves near the border town of Kleszczele in eastern Poland, Abd Alwareth described being a ping-pong ball for the guards. "I tried crossing like five, six times, and every time I got caught and deported back to the border" by Poland, he said in English. Abd Alwareth said security forces told him: "You have only two choices: either you die here or you die in Poland. Though "exhausted" and "devastated," he said he understood that the border guards "are doing their job. His fate up in the air, Abd Alwareth hopes to receive asylum in Poland -- or at the very least, to return to Lebanon.

Fowler doubled their lead on 66 minutes with a pinpoint header before Brazil struck back almost immediately through substitute Adriana. The introduction of Brazilian great Marta with 20 minutes left gave the visitors added momentum in front of a raucous crowd before Van Egmond's late strike sealed the win. It was a much-needed victory for Australia, who had tasted victory just twice in 12 games since Swede Tony Gustavsson took over as coach. The 36-year-old, who played 150 times for Australia, revealed she was regularly subject to predatory behaviour early in her career. The two sides meet again in Sydney on Tuesday in another friendly as Australia build towards the Asian Cup in India early next year.

The 36-year-old striker wasn't the only high-profile signing made by United boss Solskjaer in the close season. Portugal star Ronaldo believes it is a matter of allowing the team time to gel. "The adaptation will take time, even the system of the game that we play, but I think step by step we have to put it in our mind that everything is possible. "If everyone is thinking like that, sacrifice for the team, I think we will be a better team." It is the kind of high-stakes encounter that United brought Ronaldo back to Manchester for.

I am very fortunate to live with a very patient and supportive husband, a man who claims not to mind living in a Test Kitchen most weekdays. But the thing I really appreciate is his constructive criticism:“I’m not sure you’re quite there yet,” he will say if I’m wildly off the mark. “No,” he says, “those are cutlets, cutlets,” or “now that is kvass, kvass.”The repetition of the dish’s name is the equivalent of winning a James Beard award.

Among the mourners gathered in Mosoriot, Tirop's childhood village about 30 kilometres (18 miles) south of Eldoret, were two-time Kenyan Olympic champion David Rudisha and fellow gold medallists Joshua Cheptegei and Peruth Chemutai of Uganda. Many in the congregation wore the signature red shirts of Athletics Kenya, which described Tirop as a "jewel" and one of the fastest-rising stars on the international running circuit. Her death sparked outpourings of grief and condolences from Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, but also anger at a life taken so young. Athletics Kenya announced on Saturday that the Kenyan leg of the World Cross Country Tour would be named after Tirop. She went on to become one of Kenya's rising stars -- as the 2015 world cross-country champion, a two-time world medallist over 10000m, and came fourth over 5000m at the Tokyo Olympics this year.

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear two cases challenging Texas' abortion law, which bans the procedure as soon as six weeks into pregnancy, but left the law in place in the meantime. The big picture: The high court will now officially hear three major abortion cases this term. The Department of Justice challenged the Texas law in U.S. v. Texas. How it works: The Texas law is the most restrictive abortion ban that has so far been allowed to be enforced since Roe. What's next: The Supreme Court said it will hear oral arguments in both Texas cases on Nov. 1.

Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, said: “Rich nations and corporations are shamefully failing to deliver on their promises whilst blocking the actual solution; ensuring developing nations have the ability to make their own vaccines. “It is painfully clear that the developing world cannot rely on the largesse and charity of rich nations and pharmaceutical companies, and hundreds of thousands of people are dying from COVID-19 as a result. Meanwhile, it has itself taken half a million doses from COVAX, despite extreme vaccine shortages in developing countries and having already secured more than enough doses for British people from direct deals with the pharmaceutical companies. Canada has taken over 970,000 doses from COVAX, while delivering only 3.2 million ?or 8 percent? of the 40 million doses it promised. The US has delivered the most doses ?nearly 177 million doses? however, this is just 16 percent of the 1.1 billion promised.

Florida businessman Lev Parnas was convicted Friday on charges of conspiracy to make foreign contributions to political campaigns, according to multiple outlets. Why it matters: Prosecutors said Parnas, then an associate of former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, funneled over $150,000 from a Russian businessman into U.S. campaigns as part of an effort to land licenses in the U.S.'s legal cannabis industry. Parnas also worked with Giuliani to pressure Ukraine into investigating President Biden for alleged corruption in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Details: A jury found Parnas guilty of scheming to use the Russian's money to fund political contributions, which he and co-conspirators planned to trade for political favors to support their joint cannabis venture, according to CNN.

Germany's outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel called for women to get more involved in politics, in a broad-ranging interview published in the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper's weekend edition. "We've still not managed to enthuse enough women for politics," Merkel said. Leaders hail Merkel's leadershipOn Friday, Pope Francis said Merkel would be a role model for many women when it comes to political engagement. And even when women became cabinet ministers, they were largely confined to the portfolios of health and family affairs. At the start of her fourth term as chancellor, Merkel appointed nine men and seven women for cabinet positions, making it the most female cabinet in German history.

"The biggest fear is that what Jon Gruden appears to engage in is much more common than what we otherwise thought," Krishnamoorthi said. They have not heard from the NFL, Krishnamoorthi said, other than to acknowledge receipt of the five-page letter. "This isn't unique to the Washington Football Team. "To get to the floor of the House, you have to be broader than the Washington Football Team." "The Washington Football Team and the NFL enjoy special privileges under our antitrust laws," Krishnamoorthi said.

Chung Sung-Jun/Pool via REUTERS/File PhotoSEOUL, Oct 23 (Reuters) - South Korea said on Saturday that it has achieved its goal of vaccinating 70% of its 52 million people, paving the way for a planned return to normal next month. The goal earlier met with scepticism as the government grappled with global COVID-19 vaccine shortages and shipment delays. Health Minister Kwon Deok-cheol said last week that the government will begin a phased return to normal activities starting Nov. 1, putting forward the shift initially scheduled for mid-November. "But meeting the vaccination goal has significant meaning in reducing severe cases and fatality, and as an important precondition for a transition to phased recovery of our daily lives."

The body was found by rangers in Kruger National Park. A suspected poacher found dead in a South African national park is believed to have been killed by an elephant, park officials said. Kruger National Park is South Africa's largest wildlife sanctuary, encompassing nearly 5 million acres. In the first half of 2020, 166 rhinos were poached in South Africa, with 88 in Kruger National Park. There are 3,529 white rhinos and 268 black rhinos left in Kruger National Park, according to South African National Parks.

Matteo Salvini, the leader of the League party, was left red-faced after a secret recording revealed him swearing and implying his far-right challenger, Giorgia Meloni, was a “pain in the ass”. The centre right’s split in two or three pieces certainly doesn’t help.”The alliance lost mayoral races in Rome, Turin, Bologna and Milan. Salvini downplayed the recording, saying he and Meloni had laughed and joked about it in a WhatsApp exchange. Meloni’s decision to stay out of Draghi’s government has helped her gain momentum in polls, at the expense of the League. Salvini’s strategy of keeping one foot in the government and one foot out is also deterring voters.

Across 17 advanced economies surveyed this spring by Pew Research Center, a median of 56% believe their political system needs major changes or needs to be completely reformed. Even in places where the demand for significant political reform is relatively low, substantial minorities say their system needs minor changes. These questions about political, economic and health care reform reveal very different public moods across the advanced economies surveyed. In all six, more than half want major changes or complete reform to the political, economic and health care systems. Still, the desire for change is stronger among Democrats (39% want complete reform and 47% want major changes) than among Republicans (20% complete reform, 43% major changes).

Farzana, 30, holds her one-year-old baby, Omar, at the malnutrition ward for infants of Indira Gandhi Children's hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan October 23, 2021. REUTERS/Jorge SilvaDUBAI, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Afghanistan is heading towards economic collapse that risks spiralling the country into a new political crisis, Sweden's minister for international development cooperation warned on Saturday. The Red Cross on Friday urged the international community to engage with the Taliban, warning that aid groups on their own could only provide temporary solutions. The movement has faced international criticism for its failure to uphold certain rights since returning to power, including allowing girls access to education. European countries were not ready to reopen their Kabul embassies, Fridh said, adding that more diplomatic missions would open in Qatar before there is a return to Afghanistan.

If the FDA authorizes the Pfizer/BioNTech immunization for children 5 to 11 years old, it would be the first COVID-19 vaccine for the age group and shots could be available in the United States in early November. A vial labelled with the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine is seen in this illustration picture taken March 19, 2021. Based on those results, Pfizer and BioNTech said last month that their COVID-19 vaccine induced a robust immune response in the children. The FDA staff said the vaccine met the agency's criteria for the immune response it generated in the children. The company had said previously that the safety profile in the age group was generally comparable to 16 to 25 year olds.

(CNN) A math teacher in Southern California has been placed on leave after videos posted online showed her wearing a headdress and mimicking a Native American dance during a lesson. The video appears to have been recorded by a student in Riverside, California, during a math lesson and posted on social media by another person. CNN has repeatedly attempted to contact the person that posted the videos online. At one point, the video shows the teacher making references to a "rock god" and "water goddess." In a statement Thursday, the Riverside Unified School District confirmed one of its teachers was seen in the video and has been placed on leave while an investigation is conducted.

Qatar’s latest FIFA World Cup™ tournament venue was unveiled on Friday night when Al Thumama Stadium hosted the Amir Cup Final between Al Rayyan and Al Sadd. Designed to resemble the ‘gahfiya’ head cap worn by men and boys across the Arab world, Al Thumama is the first FIFA World Cup™ stadium to be designed by a Qatari architect. Al Thumama Stadium is another work of art and carries a lot of significance for the country and the region. Two more stadiums – Al Bayt and Ras Abu Aboud – will be unveiled during the FIFA Arab Cup, followed by Lusail Stadium in 2022. “Al Thumama, in particular, will have a major role to play in terms of sporting facilities for local people after the World Cup.

For your weekend reading, we offer you in-case-you-missed-it compilations of some of the week's top USA TODAY Opinion pieces. — USA TODAY Opinion editorsBy Michael Santoro"To have a walkout, you must have a significant increase in pilots failing to show up to work. There has not been a dramatic spike in pilot sick call rates anywhere in the month of October. What actually happened was Southwest Airlines pilots and flight attendants were stranded away from their homes and families, right alongside our passengers." Such a measure also would disproportionately hurt families with children who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated."

Docent programs have long been mainstays of major museums where trained volunteers guide visitors through a museum’s collection. But museum equity consultants say the programs are outdated, have too many barriers to entry and, as a result, often skew toward a certain demographic: Wealthy, white women. The Chicago Tribune decried the move in an editorial titled “Shame on the Art Institute for summarily canning its volunteer docents” and suggested the museum instead recruit new, diverse docents. Docent programs often have "long-standing legacies of how things are supposed to be" that can make them difficult to adapt, Murawski said. Williams added that rethinking docent programs is only a first step.

Dance, perhaps more than any art, is one of reinvention and renewal, and New York City Ballet’s fall season showed that inevitable generational shift with particular clarity. She’s only 29; while she won’t stop dancing entirely, she wants to devote herself to choreography. Then, on Sunday, came the final performance of Maria Kowroski. Other dancers retired this season, too — the principals Ask la Cour and Abi Stafford, along with the soloist Lauren King, who has been a joy to watch all season, dancing with abandon and what felt like gratitude. But Kowroski, in her program, showed her singular spirit, somehow letting us float in the same air as her last dance.

They also use roving chickens to forage for pests, maximize soil fertility by planting cover crops like ryegrass and employ a herd of sheep — referred to as “woolly weeders” — to help fertilize the fields. Even the vineyard’s wine shipments reflect land stewardship: Bottles — recycled, with natural corks — are transported with carbon-neutral shipping. This holistic approach to land management is called regenerative agriculture. It eschews conventional farming techniques and taps into composting, pollinator habitat restoration and other measures to encourage nutrient-dense soil. These practices also curb skyrocketing carbon emissions by coaxing nitrogen from the atmosphere and into plant roots, a practice known as carbon sequestration.

In this way, and on account of the sheer number of wearers, there was always something populist about the brand. At the same time, of course, the British countryside idyll was traditionally a lifestyle reserved for a certain kind of person, namely someone white and Protestant. Then, too, we have entered a period of inflation, high gas prices and supply chain disruptions; many are saying it feels like the ’70s — the heyday of the Laura Ashley dress and a decade of dark, anxious undertones — all over again. Who doesn’t want to wrap up in a quilted floral comforter, collapse on the couch and watch “Little House on the Prairie” right about now? They are also timeless in that they’re unlikely to go out of style by next season — after all, they’ve been in style, more or less, since the mid-1800s.

Mr. Polk is a somewhat unlikely ambassador for the good-food movement. (His favorite restaurant remains the Brooklyn steakhouse Peter Luger, a longstanding go-to for Wall Street types.) “I had this idea that nonprofits were how you do good in the world,” Mr. Polk said. Despite his very public exit from the financial world, Mr. Polk still thinks — and talks — like a Wall Street veteran. Unlike many reformers, who are keen to tear down what they see as a fundamentally flawed food system, Mr. Polk is single-minded about efficiency, often mulling aloud how Everytable is, or can be more like, Amazon.

NEW DELHI — The event will be watched by hundreds of millions around the world, on televisions in remote villages, jumbo screens in crowded cities, phones in migrant labor tenements and flickering monitors in the living rooms of a diaspora spread across the world’s time zones. Face-offs on the cricket field between India and Pakistan, like the expected encounter on Sunday in Dubai, have become increasingly rare, a victim of the frosty relationship between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. For a match to take place at all, even on neutral ground, players and fans have to hope tensions remain short of war and that the organizers can weather growing calls for a boycott. The meeting on Sunday, the first in two years, comes as part of a World Cup. The rising tensions are tied to a number of factors — repeated militant attacks in India; the disputed territory of Kashmir, where India accuses Pakistan of supporting militant groups; and rising intolerance in both countries — that have almost entirely wiped out any exchange between two nations that otherwise overlap in shared history, passions and culture.

Before the social media exchanges, the lawsuit said, Kimball, who had appeared in more than 1,000 performances of the show before the shutdown in March 2020, had never received any reprimand or complaint, and had never been told by anyone connected with the show that he “made them feel unsafe.” But subsequently, he “was forced to explain and defend his Nov. 15, 2020, tweet to Defendants’ agents and employees,” the suit claims. Then, on Jan. 18, the suit said, he was contacted by a producer, Susan Frost, who allegedly informed him that there was conversation around his “conservative Christian” faith and his “freedom to believe.”Frost, the suit claims, also mentioned the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and said that there were concerns that “the events at the Capitol, Josh Hawley and the conservative Christian movement were tied together and implied a connection” between Kimball’s faith and the “ideas and actions” of that day. On Jan. 22, according to the lawsuit, Frost told Kimball he would not be invited back to the production, which he was told “needed to focus on bringing the show back together and ensure people’s safety.”At the suggestion of Frost, the suit said, he spoke with the show’s director, Christopher Ashley, on Feb. 2, and asked him if he had been let go because of disagreements with colleagues or his religious beliefs. “In response,” the lawsuit continues, Ashley “stated that it was ‘everything.’”As a result, according to the lawsuit, Kimball was “made to suffer significant economic and professional harm,” as well as “emotional and physical pain and suffering.” The lawsuit is seeking compensatory and punitive damages and lost wages, as well as legal costs. Kimball was nominated for a Tony Award in 2010 for his role in the musical “Memphis.” While he has always been a Christian, the lawsuit said, it was following his recovery from an injury while in the show that he started becoming “more outspoken regarding his beliefs.”

In Stamford, the second-largest city in Connecticut, a province of mixed baseball loyalties lying between New York and Boston, one of the last remaining names on the ballot for mayor this fall is more familiar to sports fans than to municipal policy wonks: Bobby Valentine. That Bobby Valentine, the former ESPN commentator whose managerial career took him from the employ of George W. Bush with the Texas Rangers to the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan. And yes, the same Bobby Valentine who once disguised himself with a fake mustache in the Mets dugout after being ejected from a game. As of the start of October, the candidates had raised close to $1 million and already spent more than four times what was spent on the mayor’s race in 2017. This puts them on pace to break the $1.3 million record set in 2013.

“People were very tired of runways,” he said of those prepandemic days. So it’s part of the game.”That game is one Mr. Lauren has been playing begrudgingly for his entire career.

Eric Adams could not resist the story. In a 2019 commencement address, Mr. Adams complained that a neighbor’s dog kept befouling his yard — no matter how polite he was to the owner, no matter his standing as Brooklyn’s borough president. Mr. Adams slipped on a hoodie and Timberland boots, rang the neighbor’s doorbell and reintroduced himself a little less politely, he said. He closed with a prediction for those who said he would never be mayor: “I’m going to put my hoodie on, and I’m going to make it happen.”That electoral prophecy might well hold up. Mr. Adams just liked how it sounded.

During the first wave, for instance, strict stay-at-home measures and drastic changes in behavior may have stalled the virus for a time.

Col. Wang Yaping is a pilot in the People’s Liberation Army’s Air Force. She is a space veteran, now making her second trip into orbit. She is set in the coming weeks to be the first Chinese woman to walk in space as China’s space station glides around Earth at 17,100 miles per hour. (No one asked about the children of her two male colleagues.) Shortly before the launch, Pang Zhihao, an official with the China National Space Administration, let it be known that a cargo capsule had supplied the orbiting space station with sanitary napkins and cosmetics.

Late Friday night they fused as he tried to clinch a pennant as manager of the Houston Astros. If Baker had chosen to hide until the storm blew over, you’d have understood: He was leading 5-0 in Game 6 of a championship series. But the scoreboard also read 5-0 in Anaheim, Calif., when Baker’s San Francisco Giants had a chance to close out the 2002 World Series. Everywhere Baker has managed since then — Cincinnati, Washington, Houston — he has steered his team to the playoffs. But for now he owns a record nobody wants: most wins by a manager who has never won the World Series, with 1,987.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced a month ago that their vaccine worked well for young children, but no comprehensive clinical data was released publicly until Friday. Children in the trial received two doses of 10 micrograms — one-third of the adult dose — three weeks apart. Of 2,268 children in the trial, twice as many were given the vaccine as received a placebo. Sixteen children who received the placebo got Covid-19, compared with three who received the vaccine. All of the Covid cases occurred in July or later, as the highly transmissible Delta variant was spreading in the United States and globally, according to the company.

The idea of a bipartisan immigration overhaul, which Mr. Biden proposed on his first day in office, has stalled amid opposition from Republican lawmakers. If Mr. Biden wants to make good on his promised immigration overhaul, it would require a separate bill, and he may have no choice but to change the filibuster rules for that issue as well. But perhaps the biggest promise Mr. Biden made during the campaign was to be the president who would finally confront the environmental dangers facing the planet. Of course, the president can’t change the filibuster by himself. And already, some of the same Democratic senators who forced him to accept less spending have said they oppose altering the filibuster.

What’s dragging down President Biden’s approval rating? The president’s approval ratings have sunk into the low-to-mid 40s, putting him into rather lonely historical company. In the era of modern polling, only Donald J. Trump had a lower approval rating at this early stage of his term. Many presidents have won re-election after watching their ratings fall to similar depths during their first two years in office. But as a fleeting snapshot, the polls seem to depict a pessimistic and even hopeless electorate.

An Alabama woman was convicted of manslaughter on Friday in the 2019 shooting death of her husband during a fight, according to reports. "This is a tragic situation,’' Jefferson County Circuit Judge Alaric May said before the verdict, according to AL.com. Stephanie Keller, 45, shot her husband, Vestavia Hills Officer Andrew Wade "Andy" Kimbrel, 42, in May 2019 at their Gardendale, Alabama, home. Prosecutors argued Keller shot Kimbrel intentionally while she maintained it was an accident. "Ms. Keller continues to steadfastly maintain her innocence and looks forward to having the Appellate Courts review her case."

LAS VEGAS – When domestic violence survivors think about leaving their abusers, one deterrent is leaving their pets behind. Noah’s Animal House’s goal is to keep domestic violence survivors united with their pets in partnership with a women’s shelter next door. Noah’s Animal House formed in 2007 in partnership with The Shade Tree shelter for homeless and abused women and children. As of this month, Noah's Animal House has helped 2,021 pets from 34 different states. Noah’s Animal House has even taken care of snakes, rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoises, parrots, tarantulas, ferrets and goldfish.

Seattle’s new Climate Pledge Arena is hardly subtle with its message. The 41 million pound roof atop Climate Pledge Arena was originally constructed for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. The "living wall" at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena contains 8,500 individual plants from 24 species. Originally built for the 1962 World’s Fair, Washington State Pavilion was later renovated to become Climate Pledge Arena. At Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, workers prepare the stage for a Coldplay concert.

Just as brokers snatch up concert tickets and resell them for exorbitant prices, sneaker resellers have created a niche corner of the sneaker industry. “I determine the value based on the hype of the shoe,” Redd said. ”For a while, Covid-19 protocols prevented consumers from standing in line for new shoes, so many retailers have resorted to a lottery system. “I go to maybe 15 stores in a day hoping to win two lotteries,” Redd said. “And because sometimes, especially with the lottery system, you can’t get the shoes you want, you go to the reseller.

Matt Odom for NBC NewsAt the same time, there is a harsh reality: While Black culture has made sneakers an invaluable element to any wardrobe and Black consumers are at the heart of that financial tide, Black retailers of the coveted items are hard to find. “It’s a white boys’ club, like most things,” said James Whitner, a Black man who has carved out a successful niche with boutique apparel and sneakers stores in several cities. “There are people aware of it, but their privilege doesn’t force them to have to change it.”James Whitner. “My saving grace was I had a good ecosystem of a few Black people who taught me the ropes,” he said. “You can count us on one hand in the whole sneaker industry,” Lowman said.

The U.S. military says it killed a senior al-Qaida leader in an airstrike Friday in northwest Syria. Army Maj. John Rigsbee, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement that Abdul Hamid al-Matar was killed by a drone strike. Rigsbee said the killing of al-Matar will disrupt al-Qaida’s “ability to further plot and carry out global attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians.” He said al-Qaida “uses Syria as a base for threats reaching into Syria, Iraq and beyond.”The drone strike came two days after a U.S. military outpost in southern Syria was hit by a coordinated attack that included drones and rockets. U.S. officials said no American troops stationed there were injured or killed.

REUTERS/Tomas BravoMEXICO CITY, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Mexico's government said on Friday that it has established a working group to investigate allegations of forced labor at two tomato export firms, after the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it would bar imports from those firms. CBP issued a withhold release order against Agropecuarios, Horticola and their subsidiaries based on information that reasonably indicates the use of forced labor against its workers. "If any breach of labor regulations is identified, a plan is established to guarantee the protection of workers' rights," the labor ministry said. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has said addressing forced labor allegations are a priority in its trade relations with Mexico. The International Labor Organization estimates that 25 million workers suffer under conditions of forced labor worldwide, according to the Biden administration.

U.S. President Joe Biden talks with French President Emmanuel Macron at the final session of the G7 summit in Carbis Bay, Cornwall in Britain, June 13, 2021. Doug Mills/Pool via REUTERSWASHINGTON, Oct 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday discussed security cooperation in Africa, Europe and the Indo-Pacific, as the two countries work to mend fences after a rift over a U.S. security pact with Britain and Australia. Biden and Macron plan to continue their discussions when they meet this month in Rome at a summit of leaders from the Group of 20 major economies, the White House said. In his call with Macron, Biden reviewed ongoing efforts by both countries to support stability and security in the Sahel region and to enhance cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, as well as efforts to enable a stronger European defense, the White House said.

Moldova's contract with Gazprom expired at the end of September. A source familiar with the talks told Reuters that Russia asked Moldova to repay its outstanding debt for gas supplies totalling some $700 million and that Moldova had asked for Gazprom to cut the new gas price in half. "There are risks of full stoppage of Russian gas supplies to Moldova after (Nov. 1)," the first source told Reuters. Gavrilita had earlier said the pressure in the gas transportation system had reached a critically low level and that Moldova Gas, 51% owned by Gazprom, had not supplied the required volume of gas. Moldova, sandwiched between Ukraine and EU member Romania, consumes 2.8 billion cubic metres of gas per year.

REUTERS/Jihed AbidellaouiTUNIS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Tunisia is imposing COVID-19 vaccine passes on Tunisians and all foreign visitors, a presidential decree showed on Friday. The decree showed that the jobs of employees who did not receive vaccination in the public and private sectors will be suspended until the vaccine pass is presented. The vaccine pass will also be a necessary document for travelling abroad. More than 4.2 million of Tunisians out of about 11.6 million resident have completed their COVID-19 vaccination, the Tunisian Ministry of Health said.

Sung Kim, U.S. Special Envoy for North Korea, speaks during trilateral meeting between Japan, U.S., and South Korea, to discuss North Korea, in Tokyo, Japan, September 14, 2021. David Mareuil/Pool via REUTERS/File PhotoSEOUL, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. envoy for North Korea arrived in South Korea on Saturday amid stalled denuclearisation talks and tension over Pyongyang's recent missile tests. Pyongyang so far has rejected U.S. overtures, accusing the United States and South Korea of talking diplomacy while ratcheting up tensions with their own military activities. On Thursday, the North said the United States was overreacting to its self-defensive SLBM test and questioned the sincerity of Washington's offers of talks, warning of consequences. Arriving in South Korea, Kim said he looks forward to having "productive follow up discussions" with his counterpart, without elaborating.

Candidate for Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe speaks during his campaign rally in Dumfries, Virginia October 21, 2021. Democrats flipped the Virginia legislature in 2019 and Trump lost the state by 10 percentage points in November 2020, double his margin of defeat in 2016. In a television ad broadcast on Wednesday, Obama backed McAuliffe's stances on climate change, abortion rights and voting rights. McAuliffe has sought to paint Youngkin as a far-right extremist and align him with Trump, who has endorsed the Republican candidate. Youngkin issued a statement saying it was "weird and wrong" to pledge allegiance to a flag with Jan. 6 connections.

Russia was the first country in the world to authorize a coronavirus vaccine, launching Sputnik V in August 2020, and has plentiful supplies. Putin has deplored Russians’ vaccine hesitancy, saying that “there are just two options for everyone — to get sick, or receive a vaccine.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, he's reprising his role as the Sith Lord in the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka. Rosario Dawson will star as Ahsoka Tano, whom she also played in the second season of The Mandalorian. That's the first time Ahsoka's character appeared in a live-action Star Wars show — prior to that, Ahsoka was only seen in the franchise's animated entries. That Vader will be featured in a show about Ahsoka doesn't entirely come as a surprise, seeing she was Anakin Skywalker's padawan. Dave Filoni, who was involved in several previous Star Wars projects, will write the story and also serve as executive producer with Jon Favreau.

But what’s often avoided is any discussion of a reliable, carbon-free source that can scale more than any other alternative form of energy: nuclear. Significant downsides abound: the high costs and long time spans to build plants and handling spent fuel (nuclear waste), and the potential for proliferation.

Comparatively, Exelon’s EXC, +0.47% recently relicensed Braidwood Generating Station’s two-unit nuclear power station in Illinois generates 2,389 megawatts of power. “The biggest concern that these companies are going to have with ESG investors is verifying the data that they collected for their ESG reports,” he says.

We all enjoy a tale of governmental ineptitude, especially when it involves an error by a DMV: Ohio's new license plate design depicts the Wright Brothers plane towing a banner. Orville and Wilbur Wright were Ohioans and designed and built the Flyer in their bicycle shop. Beyond the plane snafu, the new design is filled with sunbeams and wheat fields, and a kid and dog at play. Our resident license plate critic James Riswick has already declared it "deep into the Toon Town category" of plates. Here's his critique of all 50 states' best and worst license plate designs.

Story continuesIn the summer of 2019, a Facebook researcher created two fictitious accounts with similar demographics but opposite political beliefs. “Facebook has become like oil and water, and never the two shall meet.”These days, he steers clear of political debates on Facebook. Some recommendations came from a small Facebook group that had been flagged for "promoting illegal activity," the Facebook researcher wrote. Brent Kitchens, an assistant professor of commerce at the University of Virginia, co-authored a 2020 report that found Facebook users' News Feeds become more polarized as they spend more time on the platform.

ReutersPARIS (Reuters) -A private, anonymous U.S. collector bought the fossilised remains of 'Big John', the largest triceratops dinosaur ever discovered by paleontologists, for 6.65 million euros ($7.74 million) at a Paris auction on Thursday. Big John - named after the owner of the land where the dinosaur's bones were found - roamed modern-day South Dakota more than 66 million years ago. "It's being acquired by an American collector, and that individual is absolutely thrilled with the idea of being able to bring a piece like this to his personal use," said Djuan Rivers, a representative for the buyer.

This is about business travel of course and more specifically going to conferences, conventions, and the like. Some have been less successful, like the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami back in June where some attendees tested positive for COVID-19 after the conference, according to CNBC. It’s going to be a long and slow recovery.”Having said that, there will be pressure on companies to reboot business travel as it’s such a huge part of the economy. Also note, a friend told me he was required to show a negative COVID test result to enter an airline club lounge. That business travel is coming is inevitable, just not to the way it was before.

SHANGHAI, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Creditors of China's HNA Group have voted to approve the company's restructuring plan, according to a court comment posted on HNA's official WeChat page on Saturday. The court in China's southern island of Hainan, where the group is based, said the vote had been conducted in accordance with the country's bankruptcy laws. HNA was placed in bankruptcy administration in February and a working group was created by the Hainan government to address the company's liquidity problems. HNA will receive strategic investment of 38 billion yuan ($5.88 billion) after its restructuring, which will go to 11 of its entities including its flagship carrier Hainan Airlines . HNA Group told a meeting of creditors in June that some 67,400 parties were seeking a total of 1.2 trillion yuan, a person who attended the online meeting told Reuters at the time.

That approach focuses on still unreliable carbon capture and storage technologies over efforts to actually reduce global reliance on fossil fuels. AdvertisementThe kingdom’s oil and gas exports form the backbone of its economy, despite efforts to diversify away from reliance on fossil fuels for revenue. A poll this month found that a record 76% of Americans think global warming is real; only 12% think it isn’t. It is being described as “the world’s last best chance ” to prevent global warming from reaching dangerous levels. Saudi Arabia has pushed back against the recommendation that fossil fuels be urgently phased out of the energy sector.

USW represents thousands of workers across Los Angeles, Kern and Contra Costa counties who run refineries, oil wells, pipelines and terminals. Many of us can own homes with fossil fuel jobs, and some of us earn six figures. We can create good new jobs for fossil fuel workers and others by investing in California’s climate goals. This will create opportunities for electricians, carpenters, bus drivers, teachers, engineers, planners and maintenance workers — including workers affected by the pandemic. The best way to guarantee that these are good jobs and reduce disparity is to make sure they’re union jobs.

Topping up your protection against severe COVID-19 while avoiding the risk of rare vaccine side effects should not be rocket science. That’s a tiny fraction of 15.3 million doses of J&J vaccine administered. Three-quarters of J&J vaccine recipients who developed TTS were women ages 18-49. So women under 50 who want more protection might consider seeking out the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for their booster shot. And it was slightly higher in young men who were initially inoculated with the Moderna vaccine than in those who got Pfizer-BioNTech.

Why is the idea of change – especially change imposed upon us – so often unwelcome? Weird to normalOne of the worst things about change is that the new way of doing things just feels weird. Having the ability to accept and respond well to necessary change is going to become more important with every passing day. Therefore, I invite you to rewire yourself in this way: to learn to think and feel differently about change; to become change-capable.

It didn’t take long in his flight to realize they were sending him back to Haiti. And he’s terrified to move around the streets, saying the returnees are targets because they are presumed to have money.

HOUSTON — The Red Sox season ended Friday night with a 5-0 loss to the Houston Astros in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. But it’s going to sting when they look back at how close they were to the World Series. We were debating whether we’d rather see the Dodgers or the Braves at Fenway for the World Series. It’s the same gesture E-Rod used to taunt Carlos Correa when the Sox were steamrolling Houston in Game 3. They looked like a lock for the franchise’s fifth World Series of this century.

Yet what was unmistakable was that Facebook’s own employees believed the social network could have done more, according to the documents. “Enforcement was piecemeal,” read one internal review in March of Facebook’s response to Stop the Steal groups, which contended that the election was rigged against Trump. Jan. 6On the morning of Jan. 6, with protesters gathered near the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, some Facebook employees turned to a spreadsheet. But some Facebook employees responded angrily, according to message threads viewed by the Times. Part of the problem, the employees wrote, was Facebook’s election misinformation rules left too many gray areas.

For the second consecutive week, Bears rookie Justin Fields tried to downplay a showdown between himself and a future Hall of Fame quarterback. That’s technically true, but the Bears’ chances of upsetting the Buccaneers on Sunday most likely hinge on whether Fields can outperform seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady. Brady and Fields are up against reasonably comparable defenses, so whoever plays better will almost certainly get the win. There’s endless argument about whether Brady is football’s most talented quarterback, but there’s no debate about him being the ultimate winner. But if the Bears’ defense forces Brady into a middling performance, as it did last October, Fields has a shot at keeping pace.

A man who was carjacked at gunpoint Saturday morning followed the suspects who allegedly robbed him and struck several vehicles in Belmont Cragin on the Northwest Side, Chicago police said. The 30-year-old was sitting in his 2014 KIA Sportage in the 5100 block of West Montana Street about 1:50 a.m. when two males forced him out at gunpoint, police said. He and two others in the van were taken to Stroger Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said. The suspects fled from the KIA after it caught fire, police said. No other injuries were reported and eight cars were involved in the crash, police said.

The Bears’ rookie quarterback needs to learn from him, even if it’s just by watching. We can all learn from watching great players,” said Bears quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, who is nine months younger than Brady. During each game, though, Bears coaches encourage Fields to watch the other quarterback, particularly on third down. “If you’re in that room, and that position is that hard, you appreciate good quarterback play,” DeFilippo said. “You can just take away how they operate their drives and how they operate a game,” Fields said.

First, Kyle Lowry looked fleet and feisty during the preseason, so I doubt he significantly aged during the intervening week. Plus, he turned his ankle early in the victory over the Bucks, retreating to the locker room for treatment. As both Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley said during the preseason, Kyle is here for far more than his scoring. There will be plenty of nights, like Thursday, when Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo get theirs, alleviating the need for Kyle to score. It’s when the leadership wanes that the concerns should start.

The doubts that Nagy is the right guy to steer this offensive ship are legitimate concerns. But even Nagy seemed to acknowledge he’s more comfortable with somebody else calling the plays than he was last season, when Lazor called plays for the final eight games. While he has yet to snap under the pressure of heavy criticism and pointed questioning as the Bears’ offensive malaise has continued, the play-calling issue was a sore subject when it first became an issue. The game-day operation with Lazor calling plays and Nagy being more of a head coach than an offensive coordinator is still a work-in-progress — like everything regarding the Bears’ offense. “If you look back to when we first did this to where we’re at now, I’d say for sure every week we feel better.”

The Simmons campaign countered Valentine’s talking points in a mailer recently saying, “Caroline will be the mayor who represents all of Stamford and will work to build a more inclusive, equitable, and thriving city — not just for the people who own a home or were born here — but for everyone,” the campaign said in a fundraising email to supporters. “Caroline is the only candidate who will be ready on day 1 to fix our infrastructure and invest in our schools and small businesses, reduce racial inequities, and work with the Stamford delegation to secure federal and state funding for our city.’’

Differences in weather from year to year and the city where your lawn is located can change the spray window for optimum results, so use the dates above as a guideline and adjust as needed due to weather conditions. Herbicides work well on perennial broadleaf weeds in fall, as the plants are more likely to translocate the herbicides to the roots as days get shorter and cooler. Good control of these perennial weeds relies on killing the root systems and not just burning back the foliage above ground.

You would be hard-pressed to find a person in Connecticut who doesn’t remember the horror of Dec. 14, 2012. It was the day we all imagined what it would be like to stand in a room, waiting to know if our beloved child would be coming home or was killed in a barrage of bullets. We sent our children off to school, waving goodbye at the bus stop or the student drop-off, thinking about the day’s meetings, the chores, sports practice and dance lessons, only to later rush into our school parking lots to hug teachers and administrators as we held tight to our children and realized we didn’t recognize the world anymore.

But as more town clerks began to raise concerns about the ballot applications, Bromley, the former chairman of Hebron’s Democratic town committee, admonished Farina in an Oct. 4 message that he was seeing applications with names in a Microsoft script, as opposed to a digital facsimile of an actual signature. Confusion with a significant helping of fear spread among local Democratic politicos. The fine for violating absentee ballot laws can be as much as $2,000 per incident. Multiply that by, say, 1,000 improperly filled in ballot applications that a party sends to voters and a local party leader gets nervous.

Perhaps most importantly in the general knowledge and understanding of infectious disease. When we read or hear heart disease, autoimmune disease, genetic disease, infectious disease, we focus on the word disease. In contrast, infectious diseases are caused by infections by microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Because they are too small to see, it’s easy not to appreciate that huge numbers of microorganisms surround us everywhere. The pandemic has also taught everyone how personal behavior contributes to community disease transmission.

Having Zach Wilson and the Jets offense next on the dance card should help. During the Week 2 meeting against the Jets at MetLife Stadium, the Patriots had the rookie quarterback completely befuddled. Wilson and the Jets are averaging just 13.4 points per game, worst in the league. Here’s how the Patriots can continue to frustrate Wilson and the Jets offense:1. To protect against Wilson’s deep ball, the Patriots are likely to employ a two-high safety look.

There’s the “Thank You Lord” monument outside Integris ER in Oklahoma City. And, of course, a roping Will Rogers at the Oklahoma City airport. H is creating art and enjoying his grandchildren and life today ... 11 years after his lung transplant.

"They may keep you from getting pneumonia, they may keep you from going through what I'm going through. As for those who shun the COVID-19 vaccines, Leckie called it "a complete disregard" for the rest of the nation. No specific treatment for long-haul COVIDAbout 10% of COVID-19 patients become long-haulers. There is no specific treatment for long-haul syndrome as a whole, but doctors can treat the symptoms as they arise, Cruzan said. Although Leckie doesn't know why COVID-19 hit him so hard and whether he'll ever be able to recover fully, his faith in God and confidence in his doctors helps him cope.

The sweet situation occurred at Mejia's recent bat mitzvah at Emanuel Synagogue, 900 NW 47. It's customary for guests to throw candy at youths at their bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah. Gracia, a Classen School of Advanced Studies seventh grader, took the candy custom in stride because she was so grateful that her bat mitzvah could be held both in-person and online. Timing is everythingJacobson said bat mitzvah (bar mitzvah for a boy) is a life cycle event, a coming of age celebration that marks a youth's 13th birthday. As local COVID-19 cases surged in August and September, she and Gracia became resigned to the idea that Gracia's bat mitzvah would likely be held online only.

Booster doses becoming available doesn’t mean COVID-19 vaccinations don’t work — it just means immunity wanes over time. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave the green light for people to mix-and-match booster doses. For Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, no. Moderna vaccine boosters were authorized at a half-dose of the amount given for the initial vaccine series. Like the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, you can find booster doses at pharmacies, local health departments, grocery stores and other locations.

HOUSTON — Once they got through the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series, it would’ve been hard to consider the 2021 Red Sox as anything but a success. Championship Series, the feeling outside the Red Sox clubhouse was largely positive. I felt like once we got to this point, the goal was to win the World Series. It was a great year.”It’s a rare thing in Boston to have a Red Sox team lose in the postseason but still feel good about themselves. “We obviously wanted to win this game and win the series and go to the World Series.

“The ... course of the disease is certainly more severe and more aggressive than last year. The patients have become younger,” said Valentyn Koroliuk, head of the hospital’s intensive-care unit. “I didn’t believe it, I didn’t even want to watch the news,” she told The Associated Press as she lay on her back in a narrow bed. I wish all people would listen to the news and the recommendations of doctors.”The hospital is near capacity and doctors worry the wave of patients will grow. A black market for counterfeit vaccination certificates has blossomed amid the restrictions, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy chaired a meeting earlier this week on ways of combating the illegal practice.

HOUSTON — It looked like the Red Sox’ offense was peaking and about to lead them to an unlikely spot in the World Series. It was the Red Sox’ 22nd homer of the postseason, a franchise record. Red Sox manager Alex Cora thinks it turned midway through Game 4. The Red Sox had chased yet another Astros starter early when Zack Greinke exited after 1 1/3 innings. Garcia kept the Red Sox fooled on his cutter, with 12 of their 18 swings and misses coming on that pitch.

Above right, The ArtLords gallery in Kabul“Much of our art was about the 20 years of struggle for Afghan women, about justice and freedom of speech. “When I draw women, I try to show how powerful they are, because often Afghan women are seen as victims and weak. And with it, I try to say to Afghan women to not give up. The artists who have fled Afghanistan remain undeterred and have been creating new work, even in the refugee camps. “The Taliban can whitewash all our work in Kabul, but we will always have our paint and our brush.

For the past 16 years, I have spent my days nosing round other people’s homes like a design-obsessed basset hound. The good news is that these principles can be applied to any home, in ways large and small. Sleep in a nestAn intimate sleeping space returns you to the sanctuary of the wombIn the same way that a swaddle prevents a newborn baby from flailing its limbs, an intimate sleeping space returns adults to the sanctuary of the womb. In my opinion, go for the smallest one – it’s not only the cheapest, but it gives you the most satisfactory sleeping experience. While it’s certainly true that your space should reflect your own view of the world, think carefully before major interventions.

In the eight years I’ve worked in the music industry, career highs have been offset by instances of racism. A recent study by Black Lives in Music concluded that the majority of Black music industry professionals in the UK experience racism, from racist language to instances of microaggression. Last week I hosted a panel at Wild Paths Festival called Anti-racism in the Music Industry – One Year On. Now it’s up to white people to help us implement the change the music industry desperately needs. Michelle Kambasha works in the music industry

They assemble and launch incendiary claims in order to defeat what they see as “gender ideology” or “gender studies” by any rhetorical means necessary. If it matters (and let’s hope it still does), there is no one concept of gender, and gender studies is a complex and internally diverse field that includes a wide range of scholars. And yet, “gender studies” is opposed as “dogma” by those who understand themselves on the side of “critique”. One reason, then, we need gender studies more than ever is to make sense of this reactionary movement. The anti-gender ideology movement crosses borders, linking organizations in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and east Asia.

Before the iPod lifeline arrived in October 2001, record labels were in full panic mode. In its annual report for 2001, record company trade body IFPI called it “a turbulent” year, blaming filesharing and CD burning for a revenue slump. Jay Berman was chief exective of IFPI at the time and calls the scale of filesharing then “a crisis of momentous proportions” for record labels. Record labels felt it should be subject to a blank media levy and pay royalties to copyright owners on every device sold. “Not only did he become an advocate for the music industry where we had none, the music industry was really ridiculed by the tech industry,” she says.

A giant puppet that has travelled over 8,000km (4,971 miles) has finally reached the UK. Little Amal, a 3.5 metre-tall (11ft 5in) puppet representing a 9-year-old Syrian refugee, began her journey in Turkey at the end of July to raise awareness for the needs of refugees. After setting off from southeast Turkey, she was greeted by a small orchestra in Chios, a small island off the mainland. The locals on the island rewrote the words of a local song, usually sung during New Year’s Eve, to warmly welcome Amal. Amal then moved north, and went up the Alps near the Italian border.

Tom Fletcher was the first celebrity to be confirmed. The man who has proved there’s more than five tricks in one showbiz career, Fletcher is the lead singer and guitarist of McFly. If you grew up in the 2000s, Fletcher and his chums no doubt featured on a bedroom wall somewhere, but their low-fi perky sound has proved enduring too. Since those glory days, Fletcher has found gainful employment penning songs for the likes of One Direction, Busted and 5 Seconds of Summer. And like every celebrity of parent-age, Fletcher has dashed off a handful of bestselling children’s books including The Christmasaurus, The Creakers and There’s a Monster in Your Book.

Australia captain Aaron Finch believes powerplays will make or break team fortunes at the Twenty20 World Cup, apart from being a potent antidote to the pesky dew factor. Australia will launch their bid for the only major global trophy that has eluded them with today's Group 1 match against South Africa in Abu Dhabi. "Even though it's different surfaces to what the IPL used, we saw the impact that had," Finch told a news conference on Friday. "The teams that won the powerplay went a long way to winning the game as the wickets deteriorated." If you look at these World Cup history, it's bloody good," Finch said.

If you’ve watched Squid Game (which, let’s be honest, you MUST have done), then you’ve undoubtedly spent some time pondering how you’d get on in the various challenges that contestants are put through during the series. Whatever the answer, you’ll now have the chance to put your money where your month is and take part in a real life Squid Game that’s coming to the UK. Just like in the Netflix show, contestants who sign up for the event, called Squid Game Live, will be put through five rounds of mystery mental and physical challenges. Though contestants will have to sign “medical disclosures” to be sure they are fit to take part in the games. Creative director Max Fox said: “We want to make sure our experiences are safe, but still as riveting as the games seen on the Netflix smash Squid Game.

On-screen, Maurice Leblanc’s tales of the gentleman thief in turn-of-the-century Paris have attracted an enduring following. By boldly re-imagining a literary hero of the past, Netflix has created an international sensation that has swept up subscribers from across the generations. Away from the cameras, Netflix and Sy have also cooked up an agreement evocative of entertainment deals from a bygone era, announced earlier this month. Sy has inked a multi-year feature film contract to star and produce an array of movies for the deep-pocketed but heavily indebted service. Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison Productions also signed up to a similar deal last year.

Rock band Doves have been praised for a candid statement after cancelling their live dates due to singer Jimi Goodwin’s mental health. They said: “We are gutted to have to say that all upcoming Doves live dates have to be cancelled. He said: “One should never apologise for having issues with their mental health, but I do want to say sorry to all that have bought tickets. “I’m also incredibly grateful for the support, love and appreciation folks have shown for Doves’ music over the years. The band was born out of the Williams brothers and Goodwin’s previous band, Sub Sub, which was formed in 1991.

One quarter of older people would like to make a new pool of friends but have no idea where to start, a poll has shown. A survey of 1,000 people aged 65 and over revealed 30 per cent think they have lost the art of small talk as they have got older. While 20 per cent feel making more friends would give them an excuse to get out of the house more. However, 31 per cent of those polled via OnePoll admitted they have lost confidence in making friends as they have got older. A spokesperson for Churchill Retirement Living added: “We understand the importance of friendship as well as independence – and we do our best to help bring people together.

Within a week or two, we decided to collaborate.”Chris Lumsden, Paul Smyth and Charlie Gent, the founding trio of Mission Kitchen (Supplied)The trio joined forces and, some six years later, Mission Kitchen was the result. It’s an example of how helping food businesses to create scalable food products can make a real impact on the food system.”As we talk, a word that comes up repeatedly is collaboration. Setting up a food business may seem like fun, but it’s not as easy as it may initially seem. The pilot scheme counts food business luminaries such as Petra Barran from street food business Kerb, Tom Barton, co-founder of Honest Burgers, and Tom Elliott, senior manager in global strategy at Diageo, as mentors.

What is New Zealand food? I, evidently, am not the only person who has been considering this definition of Aotearoa food over the last few years. Morgan describes New Zealand cuisine as “a good mixture of modern influences from around the world, alongside local innovation and traditional knowledge”. The eatery itself aims to be at the forefront of this redefinition of New Zealand food. I might say that New Zealand food is lamb, seasoned with salt and horopito and slow cooked, h?ngi-style, for hours.

And yet in recent years they’ve become ubiquitous for men and women – both on the red carpet and the streets. First worn by parachuters in the military – hence the name ‘jumpsuit’ – the look was initially designed to be very utilitarian. The style helped bridge the gap between stereotypically ‘male’ and ‘female’ fashion, with more androgynous dressers such as David Bowie favouring a jumpsuit. Jumpsuits today…In the past two decades, jumpsuits have conquered the last bastion of fashion: the red carpet. Stars show you don’t just have to wear ballgowns for formal occasions, giving us some major jumpsuit moments on the red carpet.

It leans into ochre and ruby, with an earthy squash pie and pears with red wine and pomegranate. Most of it can be done in advance, leaving the cook free to spend an afternoon enjoying the glorious cool-but-sunny autumn weather. To begin, something green: a salad of crisp romaine leaves, cloaked in a lemony vinaigrette that’s been flecked with a touch of anchovy. Add squash cubes, kale, sage, thyme and garlic. Add squash filling, piling it high.

Winter squashIt does best in a cool, dark and dry spot that allows for plenty of air circulation. In the refrigerator, squash will start to pit from the cold, so store it there only once it’s cut. If you plan to eat them within the week, Tong says, the counter is okay, but much longer than that and the fruit will go mealy and flavourless. Keep them in a partially open, loose or perforated plastic bag or something more breathable, such as a produce bag, also in the high-humidity drawer. To prevent moisture loss, refrigerate beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips and swedes in plastic bags in the high-humidity crisper drawer or in a produce bag or similar product.

La Liga takes centre-stage because of the notoriety of El Clasico, but far beyond the borders of Catalunya, similarly anticipated match-ups can be found in Serie A, Ligue 1, the Eredivisie and more. After a midweek of European action in Champions League and Europa League, changes might be made to personnel - but only with taking three points in mind. Here are all the storylines to keep an eye on and the must-not-miss matches across a huge weekend of action. Financial ruin aside, there’s a big squad rebuild to undergo - as will likely be evidenced by the disparity in bench options this weekend for Ronald Koeman and Carlo Ancelotti. Either one remains capable of winning a match, or of ending their La Liga ventures next summer having achieved markedly less than was expected of them.

? Close Thomas Tuchel gives injury updates on Chelsea duo Romelu Lukaku and Timo WernerFollow all the action as Chelsea host Norwich City in the Premier League in Saturday’s early kick-off. Their victory was marred by significant injury blows, though, with both Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner ruled out. “It’s only a turning point if he makes it a turning point – and only if he does not only do one good match, one good half, 60 good minutes, but if he does it consistently,” Tuchel said of the winger.

Hideki Matsuyama maintained his one-shot lead heading into the final round of the ZOZO Championship, despite a last-hole bogey on Saturday. The home favourite dropped a shot at the par-five last to card a third-round score of 68, leaving him on 10 under and just one ahead of Cameron Tringale – who birdied the 18th. England’s Matt Wallace heads into Sunday’s final round four strokes off the pace in tied third position alongside Brendan Steele and Sebastian Munoz, while Tommy Fleetwood is five behind after a level-par round of 70.

However, another wayward tee shot at the last resulted in Matsuyama bogeying the final hole and seeing his lead trimmed to one shot again as Tringale birdied from close range.

"I announce today Saudi Arabia's target to reach net zero emissions by 2060 through its circular carbon economy approach," said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a recorded statement at the "Saudi Green Initiative" forum. A statement said Saudi Arabia would "contribute to cutting global methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030, as part of its commitment to deliver a cleaner, greener future". In March, Saudi Arabia unveiled a sweeping campaign to tackle climate change and reduce carbon emissions, including a plan to plant billions of trees in the coming decades. Saudi Arabia also declared it would designate new "protected areas". Saudi Arabia currently draws on oil and natural gas to both meet its own fast-growing power demand and desalinate its water -- which consumes huge quantities of oil daily.

Italy's former interior minister and far-right leader Matteo Salvini went on trial on Saturday for allegedly illegally blocking 147 rescued migrants from disembarking from a rescue ship and holding them in dire conditions.

Cars will not race on the "Brickyard" track at the same time but will start one after the other -- with the winner being the fastest over two full-speed laps. On race day, it is not drivers that will make the difference -- but about 40,000 lines of code programmed by each team. The MIT-PITT-RW team, the only one made up entirely of students without supervision, got their car only six weeks ago. The MIT-PITT-RW's car hit 130 km/h (81 mph) in testing, but Suvarna believes it capable of overtaking 160 on Saturday (100 mph). The Robocar, made by manufacturer Roborace, has held the speed record for an autonomous car since 2019, clocking in at 282 km/h (175 mph) -- but on a straight course, not a circuit.

Italy's Senate voted on Thursday to strip far-right chief Matteo Salvini of his parliamentary immunity, paving the way for him to face trial, for a second time, over allegedly illegally detaining migrants at sea. The Senate voted 149 to 141 to strip Salvini of his immunity, with one abstention. The head of the anti-immigrant League party is already set to stand trial in a separate but similar case. Ministers cannot be tried for actions taken while in office unless their parliamentary immunity is revoked by the Senate. In February, the Senate voted to strip him of his parliamentary immunity in that case.

Italy's hard-right League leader Matteo Salvini had been hoping for a clean sweep in the regional polls. Earlier this month, League leader Salvini had said he was aiming for a clean sweep. Culture Minister and prominent PD official Dario Franceschini said the result bolstered the party and its leader Nicola Zingaretti. Until the Emilia-Romagna setback, Salvini had led his conservative allies to eight straight regional victories since the last national ballot in March 2018. In the regional ballot, the right easily kept control of the northern regions of Veneto and Liguria, while the PD retained Campania in the south.

“The psychological dynamic that led to the rise of Trump is happening again — this sense that you’re losing your country and it’s being led by an individual without the cognitive capacity to run a fast-food joint,” said Cliff Sims, who served in a senior role in the Trump administration. “The anger is less about Joe Biden individually and more about the state of the country that he is presiding over. He’s an avatar — he’s like the symbol of the decline of America.”

A man who once described a ballot being cast in his dead wife’s name as “sickening” and was cited by the Nevada Republican Party last November as evidence that massive voter fraud swayed the results of the 2020 presidential election has been charged by prosecutors with voter fraud. According to a lawsuit filed in the Las Vegas Justice Court this month, the man, Donald Kirk Hartle, voted his deceased wife Rosemarie Hartle’s ballot. The Nevada Republican Party also cited Hartle’s interview with KLAS Channel 8 in their voter fraud allegations. In early December, Judge James Russell ruled against the Trump campaign’s request to either block certification of the state’s presidential election results or award the state’s electoral votes to Trump. In a 35-page written order, he said the campaign’s claims of voter fraud fell far short of the evidentiary standard needed to contest the results of the presidential election.

REUTERS/Guglielmo MangiapaneLONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The COP26 climate conference in Glasgow ought to agree a definition for blue hydrogen to help producers trade it, the CEO of gas infrastructure group Snam (SRG.MI) said on Saturday. "At COP26 we need to define what blue hydrogen means, because if you have blue hydrogen with little CO2 capture and a lot of methane leakage, it is very damaging," CEO Marco Alvera told the Saudi Green Initiative forum in Riyadh. "Blue hydrogen must be defined, has to be certified, so the people producing very low or no carbon and no methane leaking in the hydrogen can have a tradable market," he said. Blue hydrogen is extracted from natural gas using steam-methane reforming, currently the standard process, and captures the CO2 emissions in underground or subsea storage. It is seen as a transitional approach while green hydrogen, which uses renewable energy for extraction, cannot fully meet demand.

Humanitarian sources and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which controls the area, said a university in Mekelle was hit by the strike. Tigrai TV, controlled by the TPLF-led regional administration that is not recognised by Addis Ababa, reported that 11 civilians were wounded in the air strike. TPLF spokesperson Getachew Reda accused the government of putting the U.N. plane in harm's way. The TPLF dominated Ethiopia's ruling party for decades before Abiy, who is not a Tigrayan, took office in 2018. Residents in Dessie, a city in Amhara, told Reuters people were fleeing, a day after a TPLF spokesperson said its forces were within artillery range of the town.

Israeli security forces on Saturday said they thwarted an operation to smuggle drugs and weapons from Lebanon, potentially on behalf of the Hezbollah terrorist organization. “The possibility that the [smuggling] attempt was made with the help of the terrorist organization Hezbollah is being examined,” the IDF said in a statement.

In June, the IDF said it arrested an Arab Israeli father and son suspected of smuggling a large amount of hashish and firearms into Israel from Lebanon, also potentially on behalf of Hezbollah.

Israel has issued a military order designating six prominent Palestinian human rights groups as “terrorist organisations”, in a move swiftly condemned by the Palestinian Authority, rights groups, and the United Nations.

Five police forces are investigating reports of women being “spiked by injection” at parties or nightclubs, with some young women coming forward to tell their stories to the press. All Sarah Buckle, a 19-year-old student at Nottingham University, remembers is dancing and speaking to friends at a bar before waking up in hospital with a bruised hand. I’ve been writing about violence against women for almost a decade, and I had hoped that in that time, life might have improved for young women.

Climate change is magnifying threats such as flooding, wildfires, tropical storms and drought.

Failure to adapt urban areas to climate change will put millions of people at risk.

Time is also a critical resource as the pace of climate change accelerates.

Luckily, there’s a tax-advantaged way to save for these growing college expenses: the 529 college savings plan. Contributions to a 529 plan do not have to be reported on your federal tax return. How to choose a 529 plan? Avoiding tax penalties on 529 Plan funds – not all expenses are qualified Avoid overfunding the 529 if possible, as “qualified education expenses” do not cover all expenses related to college. These costs can easily add up, so it may make sense to save outside of a 529 plan to help cover them.

Over two weeks in November, world leaders and national negotiators will meet in Scotland to discuss what to do about climate change. In 1992, countries agreed to an international treaty called the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which sets ground rules and expectations for global cooperation on combating climate change. It was the first time the majority of nations formally recognized the need to control greenhouse gas emissions, which cause global warming that drives climate change. That agreement set the goal of limiting global warming to “well below” 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), and preferably to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F), to avoid catastrophic climate change. The initial set of emission reduction targets in 2015 was far too weak to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

A longer-running and bigger association of Christian colleges — with a generally broader canvas of Christian beliefs and practices — is also seeing growth, but less dramatically. The growth at both sets of Christian colleges far outpaces the overall trend in the private nonprofit school sector. The growth at these conservative Christian colleges coincides somewhat with the emergence of Trumpism, but the reasons perhaps go beyond the rise of MAGA nation. But there's one very visible marker of how Grace College can be different — and it starts at 10:30 a.m. three days a week. The group formally started in January 2020, becoming a secondary option to the broader Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, which has been around since 1976.

Since Scherzer signed his current seven-year deal with the Nationals before the 2015 season, he has avoided major injury by managing little ones — taking an extra day here and there to preserve himself later, pushing back a World Series start in 2019 because of a neck issue, only to start Game 7 a few days later. He is an expert at making sure little problems do not become bigger ones, at knowing when pushing through could have irreversible consequences and when it is safe. Clearly, Scherzer and the Dodgers were worried about the consequences of having him pitch while fatigued Saturday. The question is what consequences the Dodgers will now face because he can’t.

In defiance of Cuba's government, a young artist who has emerged as one of the country's leading opposition leaders vowed that he and others are moving forward with national protests planned for Nov. 15. “We know we can go to prison, we know terrible things can happen," Yunior García, 39, told NBC News via WhatsApp messages about the planned demonstration to demand civil liberties in the communist country.

(CNN) At the absolute peak of their rivalry, El Clasico often seemed more about Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi than it did Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. This Sunday, for the first time since 2007, neither player will be at the two clubs when they meet for the 247th edition of one of football's greatest clashes. Messi's departure to Paris Saint-Germain, which shocked the world of football this summer, was a consequence of the dire financial straits that Barcelona finds itself in, after years of economic imprudence left the club unable to adequately deal with the impacts of the pandemic. Unsurprisingly, the team has struggled since losing the greatest player in club history and head coach Ronald Koeman has often borne the brunt of fan frustration for Barcelona's shortfalls this season. The Dutch manager will surely not be relishing Real Madrid's visit to the Camp Nou this weekend, but he and his team can perhaps find some confidence after recently recording back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Still, building the megafactory and packaging plant will take years and is unlikely to help European automakers in the short term. For that, Gelsinger has said Intel plans to reserve capacity at its chip factory in Ireland for automakers and help them shift to using its technology, but that too could take time.

Trump, whose endorsement helped Carey win a crowded primary, carried the district by 14 points in 2020. She flipped her legislative district, once a reliable Republican ring around Columbus, by 14 points in 2018. As well as Trump did in the Ohio 15th, the Trump-weary Republican whose departure opened the seat did even better. As such, the special election Nov. 2 could provide clues on how to run with or against Trump in next year’s midterm elections.

JERUSALEM — Israel on Friday effectively outlawed six prominent Palestinian human rights groups by declaring them terrorist organizations, a major escalation of its decades-long crackdown on political activism in the occupied territories. Most of the targeted organizations document alleged human rights violations by Israel as well as the Palestinian Authority, both of which routinely detain Palestinian activists. Israeli and international rights groups condemned the move as an assault on civil society and expressed solidarity with the targeted organizations.

Alastair Grant/Pool via REUTERSRIYADH, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Charles, in recorded remarks at an environment event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, said there was a "dangerously narrow window" to accelerate climate change action. Citing experts, he said the U.N Climate Change Conference COP26 due to start at the end of October must have nationally determined contributions (NDCs) with "clear baselines" and net zero emission targets by 2050. He was addressing the Saudi Green Initiative forum, at which top exporter Saudi Arabia had earlier on Saturday announced its target to reach zero-net emissions by 2060. read morePrince Charles said the Saudi Green Initiative and a wider Middle East Green Initiative, which Riyadh will host on Monday, would help accelerate the great progress already made.

NBC News investigated the cocktail of factors driving Britain’s surge and the lessons that can be gleaned from the country’s experience. The U.K. government's decision to not maintain or reinstate certain Covid containment measures, such as masks being mandatory in enclosed spaces, were also behind the rise, Gurdasani said. While many countries across Europe and around the world have maintained different levels of Covid restrictions, including mask mandates, the British government has remained adamant in its commitment to England’s full reopening. But Gurdasani and Gupta agreed that the arrival of the delta plus variant, which is a mutated version of the delta variant, shouldn't come as much of a surprise. On Wednesday, Javid resisted calls for a "plan B" approach, even as he confirmed that Covid cases in the U.K. could reach 100,000 a day as winter approaches.

That’s because no doctor can give her a guarantee that her vaccinations afford her adequate levels of protection against the coronavirus. Some, like Giuliana, are unsure how much the vaccine shields them, since immunocompromised people were not included in the clinical trials. Teresa M. Stallone, 46, of Chicago, has psoriatic arthritis, a painful autoimmune condition affecting the skin, joints and other areas. But in the meantime, she says, she shows appreciation for those around her who are helping to keep her healthy. “Covid has made me realize how vulnerable I am, and not just to Covid, but to everything,” she said.

By governing as he campaigned (as a competent centrist), Biden might have locked in a governing majority of alienated center-right Americans along with his extant Democratic coalition. However, Biden chose to abandon efforts to transcend the current political paradigm, choosing instead to appease his base. Instead, though, Biden let progressives press him into (sort of) linking passage of the bipartisan bill with a $3.5 trillion social welfare reconciliation package. Biden had a fresh opportunity to break the cycle, but he has instead followed the path of his predecessors. Instead, Biden and the Democrats tried to jam their own framework through—and retroactively sell it to him.

Adding insult to injury, in 2020, 55 of the country’s biggest corporations paid zero dollars in income taxes. The corporate tax hike alone would bring in $540 billion in revenue over the next 10 years. An alternative option under consideration sets a 15 percent minimum tax that corporations have to pay. But more than 130 nations recently agreed to set a minimum tax rate of 15 percent on all corporations’ profits. People understand them.”Also, complicating tax matters: the Trump tax cuts added a cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions.

LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The chief executive of Italian gas infrastructure group Snam said that he hopes the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow will provide an agreed definition for "blue hydrogen", which would help producers trade it. Marco Alvera was speaking in Riyadh at the Saudi Green Initiative forum, where the world largest oil producer committed to reach net zero by 2060. "There are still a lot of standards that need to be defined, first of all at COP26 we need to define what blue hydrogen means, because if you have blue hydrogen with little CO2 capture and a lot of methane leakage, it is very damaging," he said. "Blue hydrogen must be defined, has to be certified, so the people producing very low or no carbon and no methane leaking in the hydrogen can have a tradable market," he added.

'Monster in the Middle' muses on the complex nature of romantic loveRiverheadTiphanie Yanique's Monster in the Middle is an ambitious novel. Like an earnest suitor, it declares its intentions from the start: in the epigraph that laments the challenge of being taken seriously when writing about love and in a prologue that explores the complex nature of romantic love. Anyone who's ever contemplated writing, studying or reading about romantic love knows this is a valid complaint — even Shakespeare is taken less seriously when his subject is love.

VIENNA (AP) — Unvaccinated people in Austria could face new lockdown restrictions if coronavirus case numbers continue to rise, Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said Friday night. The news came after a Friday evening meeting between Schallenberg and state-level leaders to discuss their response to rapidly increasing case numbers. If the number reaches 600, or one-third of total ICU capacity, the government plans to impose restrictions on unvaccinated people. Although Austria’s government has encouraged citizens to get vaccinated, the effort has slowed in recent months. Some 65.4% of the total population has received one dose of the vaccine, and 62.2% are fully vaccinated.

For the first time all season, the Patriots offense started fast last week. Now at 2-4, the Pats must start fast again or risk taking a knockout blow from the Jets. Mac Jones only took four hits from New York back in Week 2, half of which were the fault of backup offensive tackle Yasir Durant. Throw on first downSpeaking of Week 2, Jones averaged 8.5 yards per attempt on first-down passes that day. Jones’ yards per attempt and touchdown rate are both higher on first down than all other passing situations, and his interception rate gets cut in half.

The group, which has non-profit charity status that bars political work, also has a political arm called Turning Point Action that can do election work. Before the rally, Kirk boasted in a tweet that Turning Point Action – and an allied group, Trump Students, that Kirk also chaired – would bring “80 + busloads of patriots to DC to fight for the president”. Admirers look on as Donald Trump takes the stage at a ‘rally to protect our elections’ in July 2021 hosted by Turning Point in Phoenix, Arizona. Similarly, Chuck Coughlin, a veteran Republican operative in Arizona, said in an interview that Kirk’s groups have taken on roles that historically the party played. “Turning Point is supplanting the traditional role that the Republican party used to fill [by] recruiting new members to join Turning Point, and then directing them to become Republican precinct committee members in districts around the state,” Coughlin said.

Anyway, for 2021, I’m going to lean into making Halloween snacks instead: black lime gummy worms, pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies and something savoury to offset the night’s sugar excesses. Black lime gummy wormsThese are really fun to make, either as worms or poured into differently shaped silicone moulds, if you have them (we got very into little bears, for instance). The black lime sugar dip is sweet, sour and bitter, and as much, if not more, for the adults on Halloween duty. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the ground black lime with the sugar and set aside. Serve with the black lime sugar dip on the side.

The “paradise” hinted at in the title, however, is a mirage, as the women and their families struggle to settle down in France and Germany. Indira and her young children are placed in an immigration centre in Germany where they apply for asylum – which is ultimately denied. While people at home presume she has a better life in her new country, she faces constant money worries, forced even to sell her jewellery. The film aims to focus on the tyranny of borders, but fails to convey a tangible sense of the spaces that the sisters inhabit – Bosnia, France and Germany are flattened into indeterminacy. This ends up more as a straight news report rather than offering the insight of a cinematic documentary.

The trip Hossein Fatemi made to Somalia in 2011, on assignment for an Iranian organisation, marked a turning point in his career.

He shot only on his phone because it puts people at ease. “The poverty really shocked me, but the people I saw were happy, they were friendly, they were sharing.” Before this project, he says, he thought of himself as a photographer. Now, his quest is to discover how photography can help the world’s children.

CHISINAU -Moldova’s government, unable to agree on a new energy deal with Russia’s Gazprom, will ask parliament on Friday to approve a state of emergency to try to ease gas shortages, Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita said. The pressure in the gas transportation system is at a critical level for the functioning of natural gas transportation systems,” Gavrilita said, without saying how close the country was to running out altogether. She said Moldova Gas, 51% owned by Gazprom, had not supplied the required volume of gas and the country has been forced to buy from other sources. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told his Moldovan counterpart in Kyiv that Ukraine would continue pumping gas to Moldova. Moldova, sandwiched between Ukraine and EU member Romania, consumes 2.8 billion cubic metres of gas per year.

“Singapore may potentially experience two to three epidemic waves as measures are increasingly relaxed,” said Alex Cook, a disease modelling expert at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Singapore is one of several so-called COVID-zero countries that enforced some of the world’s strictest measures to hold infections and deaths far below the tallies elsewhere. Now it is slowly re-opening its borders, expanding quarantine-free travel https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/singapore-pm-says-covid-19-new-normal-could-take-up-6-months-2021-10-09 to nearly a dozen countries. “If I were a policymaker in Australia, New Zealand or China, I’d be studying what has happened in Singapore,” Cook said. More than 600,000 individuals have received one, as authorities target those older than 30, beyond the elderly and healthcare workers.

Whatever the outcome of Moon’s last-ditch efforts to a achieve a breakthrough with North Korea https://www.reuters.com/world/china/exclusive-north-south-korea-talks-over-summit-reopening-liaison-office-sources-2021-07-28 before he leaves office in May, that military buildup appears a lasting legacy. His push for more military power has been influenced by other factors, most prominently a genuine concern about countering North Korea’s growing threats, officials said. ‘STRENGTH FORPEACE‘To Moon, having a strong military is a natural part of making peace with North Korea from a position of strength, with reduced reliance on the United States, a South Korean military source said. In recent years, the North has publicly tested several short-range missiles that analysts say are designed to evade South Korea’s defences. But Pyongyang has also shown willingness to overlook or downplay the South’s military moves when it sees fit, Seoul officials said.

An award-winning Swedish rapper has died at the age of 19 after being shot in the street in a suspected gang-related attack. Einar, whose real name was Nils Gronberg, was reportedly shot in the head and chest, in the suburb of Hammarby Sjostad, in Stockholm, on Thursday. Last April, Einar was kidnapped, beaten up and blackmailed for three million Swedish krona (£250,000) by members of a gang. Only weeks earlier, the same gang had tried to kidnap Einar at a Stockholm music studio by using another rapper, Yasin. Image: Fans attended a memorial after the rapper was shot in the Hammarby Sjostad districtBoth have denied the charges and are appealing.

MOSCOW – The Kremlin said on Friday that NATO‘s adoption of a new Russia-focused strategy confirmed that Moscow’s decision to sever ties with the bloc had been correct. NATO defence ministers agreed a new master plan this week to defend against any potential Russian attack on multiple fronts, reaffirming the alliance’s core goal of deterring Moscow despite a growing focus on China. Days earlier, Russia cut relations by shutting its diplomatic mission to NATO and the alliance’s mission in Moscow after NATO expelled eight Russians accused of spying. “There is no need for dialogue under these conditions and (the adoption of) such a concept by NATO confirms it once again,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a briefing. We know the nature of this alliance… This alliance was not created for peace, it was conceived, designed and created for confrontation.”

STOCKHOLM – Einar, one of Sweden’s most popular rappers, was shot dead in Stockholm late on Thursday, heightening outrage over gang-related violence that has afflicted the Nordic country in recent years. In a previous incident last year, Einar was abducted and assaulted by rival rappers. Last year, he was kidnapped and beaten up by rival rappers with ties to a Stockholm crime gang. Several people, including Yasin Byn, another of Sweden’s most successful rappers, were given prison terms for their role in the kidnapping. Johan Forsell, law and order spokesperson for the main Moderates opposition party, said it was time to put an end to gang violence in Sweden.

Benefits of giving the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID vaccine to 5 to 11-year-olds clearly outweigh the risks, according to a US drug watchdog. The assessment by scientists at the country's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) comes as the makers of the vaccine said it showed 90.7% efficacy against coronavirus in a clinical trial of children in that age group. Sixteen children in the trial who had received a placebo got COVID-19, compared with three who were vaccinated, Pfizer said in papers submitted to the FDA. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine already has US regulatory authorisation for people who are at least 12-years-old, including full FDA approval in August for those 16 and over. If the FDA approves the vaccine for younger children, a group of experts will meet early next month to make recommendations on how the shots should be administered.

A new ‘Delta Plus’ variant of COVID-19 could spread more easily than the original Delta, and is currently under investigation in the UK. The Delta variant accounts for most cases in the UK, but new official data reports that 6 per cent of analysed COVID-19 cases are AY.4.2, also known by some as ‘Delta Plus’. This particular variant - AY.4.2 - has two mutations in the spike protein, which helps the coronavirus invade the body’s cells. In the US, the delta variant accounts for nearly all COVID-19 cases. The newer “delta plus” variant has been spotted “on occasion,” but it’s not yet a concern, health officials in the US said.

Xi, who hasn’t left China since early in the pandemic, is not expected to travel. “We are still planning details of the virtual bilateral meeting and there is nothing to preview at this time,” a senior administration official said. Now, Biden officials trying to show the United States is the responsible power have flipped the script, telling journalists after a Sept. 9 phone call between Biden and Xi that Biden had initiated the interaction. I think they understand that, and I think this probably is one of the reasons why they are reaching out (to China),” he said. On Wednesday, Biden’s nominee to be ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, called China Washington’s “most dangerous competitor” and said the United States needed to work closely with allies.

By Saliou SambCONAKRY – Guinea’s coup leaders have named their first line-up of government ministers, including a former general and three other figures who held posts under ousted president Alpha Conde. Former army officer Aboubacar Sidiki Camara was named transitional minister of defence, a spokesperson for the military junta said on state TV late on Thursday. Camara previously served as chief of staff in Conde’s defence ministry and, after that, as Guinea’s ambassador to Cuba. Bachir Diallo, a former defence attaché based in Algeria, was named security minister, and Louhopou Lamah, a former foreign trade director, was named environment minister. He had previously served as an adviser to the position.

In other “red zone” areas of high infection, schools would be permitted to reopen only if all teachers are vaccinated. One of Europe’s poorest countries, Ukraine fell behind in the race for vaccine supplies this year and so far only 6.8 million in a population of 41 million are fully vaccinated. Official data showed a record 614 new deaths related to COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, up from 546 on Thursday. Several have experienced record-setting waves of infection, with some of the highest death rates in the world in recent days. In a bid to combat vaccine hesitancy, Ukraine has made vaccinations compulsory for some government employees such as teachers.

The agreement reached by the government’s pandemic taskforce on foreign workers has been hotly anticipated by vital sectors like palm oil plantations and rubber glove manufacturing, which rely on migrant labour. Malaysia is reliant on some two million documented migrant workers to produce everything from gloves to iPhone parts. The rubber gloves industry had also appealed to the government to allow foreign workers to return to meet growing demand this year and next. From mid-November, Malaysia will also allow certain international travellers to visit its tropical holiday island of Langkawi, reopening its borders to foreign tourists for the first time since the start of the pandemic. The prime minister said Malaysia is targeting vaccinated, “high-yield” and “quality” tourists, indicating those that will spend money and help boost the economy.

By Tim CocksJOHANNESBURG – South Africa will tell rich countries at climate talks next week to honour promises to help poorer nations go green and massively boost available funds, the environment minister said on Friday, while announcing talks with a global fund to help end its reliance on coal. “We see the decision by the CIF as a small, but important first step towards laying the foundation work for the broader financing programme of our just transition,” she said. South Africa produces more than three quarters of its electricity – and more than a quarter of its liquid fuels for transport – from coal, making it the world’s 12th largest greenhouse gas emitter and fourth most carbon-intensive economy. “Our country goes to Glasgow with a clear mandate to negotiate for … developing countries, to avoid the worst impacts of climate change on our people,” Creecy said. “The wellbeing of workers and communities in the transition is an absolute non-negotiable,” Creecy said.

BERLIN – Germany recorded the highest incidence of coronavirus infections since mid-May on Saturday, reaching the threshold of 100 cases per 100,000 in the past seven days that used to be the yardstick for imposing a strict lockdown. However, Health Minister Jens Spahn noted that Germany could cope much better now due to vaccination, although he said restrictions like mask wearing and limits on indoor activity for unvaccinated people would stay until next spring. A total of 15,145 new infections were reported on Saturday, 4,196 more than the same time last Saturday, it added, and another 86 people died, to bring the total to 95,077. “We can obviously deal with higher incidences, higher numbers of infections better, much better without overburdening the health system, because so many are already vaccinated,” Spahn said in an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio. Around 66% of German residents are fully vaccinated, compared with 63.3% of people across the European Union.

By Michael ErmanNEWYORK -Scientists at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday that the likely benefits of giving the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to 5 to 11 year olds clearly outweigh the risks of rare cases of heart inflammation. If the FDA authorizes the Pfizer/BioNTech immunization for children 5 to 11 years old, it would be the first COVID-19 vaccine for the age group and shots could be available in the United States in early November. Based on those results, Pfizer and BioNTech said last month that their COVID-19 vaccine induced a robust immune response in the children. The FDA staff said the vaccine met the agency’s criteria for the immune response it generated in the children. The company had said previously that the safety profile in the age group was generally comparable to 16 to 25 year olds.

SANTIAGO – The sand dunes of Chile’s Atacama are once again bathed in vibrant colors following the sprouting of flowers in recent weeks in the world’s most arid desert despite a persistent drought. The impressive vistas of the so-called flowering desert attract local and foreign visitors each spring in the southern hemisphere, depending on the amount of rainfall received in the winter season. Resistant seeds and bulbs are able to survive Atacama’s extremely dry weather until they flower during the spring. “If you pick some oil, you’ll find thousands of seeds, thousands of bulbs,” said Gina Arancio, a botanist with the local Universidad de La Serena. “Even though the rain is restricted to a small area, it is still impressive to see it in the planet’s most arid desert,” he said.

By Uditha JayasingheCOLOMBO – Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Friday ordered frontline workers and tourism staff to be given a third booster shot of COVID-19 vaccine next month, part of a bid to reopen the travel industry and revive the economy. More than 1 million people including security personnel, health care staff and tourism industry workers will be given third shots of the Pfizer vaccine beginning Nov. 1, the president’s office said in a statement. So far Sri Lanka has fully vaccinated a little over 60% of its 22 million people. The country depends on international tourism, and partially rolled back COVID-19 restrictions late last month, allowing fully vaccinated travellers with a negative test to enter without quarantine. An estimated 400,000 people are employed in the tourism industry.

By Foo Yun CheeBRUSSELS – EU enforcers are planning a series of raids against companies suspected of illegal price-fixing, Europe’s anti-trust chief warned on Friday, as she also sounded the alarm about competition in labour markets due to “no-poach” deals. Companies suspected of taking part in other cartels should soon see officials knocking on their doors, EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said. Companies found guilty of taking part in cartels face fines as much as 10% of their global turnover. Vestager also criticised “no-poach” agreements between companies, saying that this could create a cartel, a sign that she may be mulling action. No-poach agreements, in which companies agree not to hire each others’ workers, and non-compete agreements, in which workers sign contracts pledging not to leave to work for a rival, have in recent years drawn criticism.

By Bhargav Acharya and Alexandra Ulmer– Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer and wounded a director when he discharged a prop gun on a movie set in New Mexico on Thursday, authorities said. The Sheriff’s office said that no charges have been filed and they are investigating the shooting and interviewing witnesses. “The investigation remains open and active,” the Sheriff’s office said in a statement. Entertainment news site Deadline cited a source in the Sheriff’s office as saying that Baldwin was questioned by investigators and later released. An e-mail to an address for the film production, which was listed on a New Mexico government statement, went unanswered.

Max Verstappen called Lewis Hamilton a ‘stupid idiot’ during a highly-charged flashpoint in practice for the US Grand Prix. Clearly rattled, Verstappen, who leads Hamilton by six points going into the final six races, later aborted his programme because he was caught in traffic. His side-kick Sergio Perez set the pace, with Hamilton third best, a place behind his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas. Bottas (left) topped the morning timesheets with Max Verstappen (right) only a distant third for Red Bull during the first practice session before falling to eighth in the afternoonWould he have? Verstappen added: ‘I do get older and more experienced but I don’t necessarily think I would have punched Lewis before.

Peter Schmeichel has doubled down on his defence of former team-mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the Manchester United legend insisted that Antonio Conte should not replace the Norwegian at Old Trafford. Pressure is mounting on the United boss after a disappointing run of three league games without victory heading into Sunday's crunch clash with arch rivals Liverpool. Italian boss Conte has been linked with the post and despite the 52-year-old's success with Inter and Chelsea, Schmeichel does not believe that he would be suitable for United. Peter Schmeichel claims Antonio Conte (L) is not the man to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (R)'You can say, "Conte is brilliant", but he doesn't stay anywhere for more than a couple of years,' the former goalkeeper told The Times. Solskjaer has entered his third full season as Manchester United boss and is still searching for his first trophy.

Oleksandr Usyk has upped his war of words with heavyweight rival Tyson Fury, claiming that only the WBC champion sees himself as a 'king'. Fury - whose nickname is The Gypsy King - defended his WBC crown earlier this month after beating Deontay Wilder in a thrilling eleven-round contest in Las Vegas. While there has been little back-and-forth between Usyk and Fury, the former cruiserweight champion has taken aim at the Gypsy King, insisting that he can beat the undefeated 6ft9ins giant. Asked if he can see a fight with Fury further down the line, Usyk told The Sun: 'Yes, of course, I do regard this fight a huge one. 'Before my Joshua fight everyone was saying that I haven't got a single chance to win and beat Joshua,' he said.

Poles took to the streets on Friday night to mark the one year anniversary of a constitutional court ruling that restricted abortion rights in Poland in October 2020. In last year's ruling, the court declared that abortion due to fetal abnormalities — even in the case of fetuses so badly damaged they would die at birth — is not constitutional. The only legal abortions can now be performed in cases of rape or incest, or if the woman's life is at risk. Members of Poland’s ruling Law and Justice party, which is aligned with the Roman Catholic Church, had sought the new restriction. They argued that one aim was to prevent the abortion of fetuses with Down syndrome, which had made up a significant share of the legal abortions in Poland until then.

HILLSBORO, Ohio — Less than one month before opening night on their new auditorium stage, Hillsboro High School students learned they will not be performing their fall play. "She Kills Monsters" was canceled Thursday after students said there were complaints about a gay character. The play follows a high school senior as she learns about her late sister's life.

Surveyors have uncovered a host of fire safety defects on apartment buildings, including unsafe cladding, insufficient fire breaks and flammable insulation. All hopes centre on Labour and a number of rebel Conservative MPs, who are set to table the McPartland-Smith amendments to the Building Safety Bill in this new session of parliament. Its aim is to protect leasehold apartment owners from any remediation costs in blocks with unsafe cladding and other fire safety defects. Maxine Burton is urging the public to take action: “It often feels like society has a tolerance for the casualties of this scandal. Write to ministers and your Conservative MPs and ask them to honour Boris Johnson’s promise that leaseholders should not pay and to support the McPartland/Smith amendments to the Building Safety Bill.”

Italian gas group Snam logo is seen outside their office in Rome, Italy, June 4, 2020. REUTERS/Guglielmo MangiapaneLONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The chief executive of Italian gas infrastructure group Snam (SRG.MI) said that he hopes the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow will provide an agreed definition for "blue hydrogen", which would help producers trade it. "Blue hydrogen must be defined, has to be certified, so the people producing very low or no carbon and no methane leaking in the hydrogen can have a tradable market," he added. Snam, which makes most of its revenue from gas transport in Italy, has pledged to spend more on new green business lines and has signed a flurry of hydrogen deals over the last year.

I am not, and I’m super jealous of her. I know I’m as talented as she is, and we’re both working hard, but I have little to show for it. In my experience, envy is often triggered by feeling that I’m not “good enough” to achieve what someone else has. By your own admission, though, you’re talented and hard working. Maybe you should make some changes in where or how you’re working.

After all, the school set quotas, typically capping the number of female students at no more than a quarter of the student body. And the lowest-scoring woman to get in did 40 points better than the lowest-scoring male applicant who was admitted, according to the school’s admission data. For Ms. Li, the message was clear: Women weren’t welcome. “Female students were totally shocked,” said Ms. Li, who had spent more than a year preparing for the exam.

Many of those subjected to the rule are expeditiously returned to Mexico, often by bus, only to try again a few days later. Before the public health rule was put in place at the beginning of the pandemic, migrants caught entering the country without authorization could be criminally prosecuted and detained for months. The high rate of recidivism suggests the majority of border crossers in recent years have been caught, which was not the case during previous peaks. The number of Border Patrol agents has increased substantially in the last decade, and technology like heat sensors, cameras and drones makes it difficult to evade capture. “Data shows the Border Patrol now catch almost everybody who tries to cross illegally.”

Mr. Biden’s wording was a reminder of what a minefield Taiwan remains for the United States, 42 years after the passage of the Taiwan Relations Act and amid a major buildup of Chinese military forces in the region. And once a strategy of ambiguity is described in less-than-ambiguous terms, as he seemed to do on Thursday, it is hard to walk it back. Mr. Biden is hardly new to the issue: He is one of the very few political figures who have been around Washington so long that he voted for the act, in 1979, as a young senator from Delaware. As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he traveled to Taiwan and understood the nuances of the wording. He understood it so well, in fact, that 20 years ago Mr. Biden warned President George W. Bush that “words matter” after Mr. Bush said he would do “whatever it took” to defend Taiwan.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Austin Cindric will replace 2012 NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski in Team Penske’s flagship No. 2 seat in-house for Cindric, the 22-year-old son of Team Penske president Tim Cindric. “Austin is a champion and has proven his abilities both on and off the track,” team owner Penske said. “Today the team has more than 130 Cup Series wins, two Xfinity Championships and two Cup Series Championships. He won four races last season and currently is fifth in the Xfinity Series standings.

But Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe feels the criticism of the forward has been unfair. The Maple Leafs have scored 11 goals in five games this season. Before the game, Keefe was asked about the identity of his team and he answered by pointing at the team's offense. The second unit, which consists of Bunting, Spezza, Engvall, Ritchie and defenseman Rasmus Sandin got more time on the second chance and generated some chances at the net. Although he admitted he didn't have a strong game, Keefe defended his play and went back to the lack of scoring from his players.

He was still figuring out his skating stride and wasn't even a true center, spending time on the left wing as well. Montreal did indeed take Kotkaniemi third overall, then installed him in the Canadiens lineup right away, as an 18-year-old center. Tonight, Kotkaniemi and the Canes play Montreal for the first time, but 'KK' will be on the left wing. Which is a long way of saying that I'm glad Carolina is doing right by Kotkaniemi because he's an easy kid to root for. If Kotkaniemi succeeds, then the offer sheet will look like a stroke of genius by the Canes.

Championship leader Max Verstappen and defending champion Lewis Hamilton crashed out of the Italian Grand Prix, which was won by McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo on Sunday.

Both drivers were able to walk away from their cars though Hamilton took a long time getting out of his, only clambering out after Verstappen had long gone.

SILVERSTONE, England (AP) — Lewis Hamilton roared back from a first-lap incident that sent championship leader Max Verstappen to the hospital and overcame a 10-second penalty to win the British Grand Prix and reignite his title defense on Sunday.

Hamilton, who then drove a victory lap brandishing the British flag, cut the gap to Verstappen in the drivers’ championship from 33 points to seven. There’s a long way to go but I believe in you guys,” Hamilton said after the race. Verstappen crashed out of the race when a spirited first lap battle with Hamilton sent the Dutchman spinning hard into a barrier.

He went in another direction for his SI Kids cover with Heat frontman Jimmy Butler, with the Science of Sports issue giving Salter an opportunity to dress up an NBA All-Star in a lab coat, goggles and gloves. “He was definitely having fun, and he really wanted to get it right,” Salter says. He kept cajoling Butler to loosen up by repeating this was to make children want to pick up a magazine. To capture the look of shock on Butler’s face that ultimately made the cover, Salter gave some very detailed instructions. (“My favorite sport is paddleboarding.”) But he says his strength, as evidenced by the look on Butler’s face on the SI Kids cover, is drawing performances out of athletes.

For veteran photographer Jeffery A. Salter, the first issue when it came to shooting the “Process This” Sixers cover in 2019 was getting to his rental car. Once at the Sixers’ practice facility, Salter would have to jump through a couple of more hoops. And while the cover reflected the Sixers’ starting five at the time—Butler, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris and JJ Redick—only four showed up for the initial shoot. “I just got the impression there may have been some locker room mess going on. Digital adjustments were made (like changing the background color to blue) and the end result was an iconic cover.

It seems as though every time the Masters golf tournament tees off, there’s the potential for history to be made.

Kohjiro Kinno/Sports IllustratedBefore shooting Tiger Woods’s iconic 2019 Masters win or Sports Illustrated’s latest cover of NFL quarterback prospect Trevor Lawrence, Kohjiro Kinno assisted photographer Robert Beck. For about 10 years after leaving school, Kinno worked with Beck, carried gear, made sure all the equipment worked, built studios in unconventional settings, and more. “It was probably one of the best decisions I made,” he says in an episode of Sports Illustrated’s Full Frame video series. After making sure everything was set up “to help out the photographer get his final vision,” Kinno got to sit back and watch Beck work. So you kind of think, like in your head, the library, that you have all these images that you’ve seen and you try to find that one shot that isn't in that library,” he says.

He first photographed the course at the 1983 men’s U.S. Open as a stringer for the Associated Press and returned in 2007 to shoot the tournament for Sports Illustrated.

When playing pickup games at “The Cage” on West 4th Street in Manhattan, nothing about the experience is normal. It’s a place where bringing your “A” game and being physical are an understatement. Located in Greenwich Village, a 20-foot chain-link fence surrounds a smaller than normal basketball court where people come to see ankles broken in crossovers, jaw-dropping dunks, unbelievable Eurosteps and fast-paced action in which the crowd gets involved to let players know they got schooled.

While the feud between Ben Simmons and the 76ers has been public and messy, the three-time All-Star's teammates still want him to have the support of the Philadelphia fans. Before the 76ers' home opener against the Nets on Friday, superstar center Joel Embiid addressed the Philly faithful, including a brief message on the Simmons debacle.

It was a jam-packed week on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, where Mary and Jennie both showed signs of marital struggle, and Lisa might have made a reality TV misstep. And finally, on the Real Housewives of Potomac, the group trip gone wrong starts to go slightly right, but Gordon isn't about to let things stay calm for long. Here are the best, worst, and wildest moments from this week in 'wives!

The showrunner of The Boys also pledged not to use guns with blanks on any of his sets again. EW has confirmed that the series has banned "live" weapons on set, effective immediately, in the wake of the fatal shooting accident on the Santa Fe set of Alec Baldwin film Rust.

Former Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague has opened up to fans about why she and boyfriend Tommy Fury hardly see each other, despite living together. When asked by a fan what's on her wish list, Molly answered: "To spend more time with my boyfriend." Even though the couple live together at their luxury Cheshire apartment, Molly-Mae says she still misses her boxer boyfriend a lot, but added that "missing him makes the time we do spend together more special." Earlier this year, Molly-Mae was forced to deny rumours the couple had split after fans speculated why we hadn't seen much of Tommy on her socials. Molly-Mae then went on to add "I can't believe that people think if it's not on social media, it's not happening.

And he's in the midst of filming, which means we have a ton of spoilers—including intel on who the "villain" of the season is.

Canada’s Drag Race Under the Big Top Season 2 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 4 stars * * * * « Previous Next Photo: WOW!

Thanks to COVID-19, comedians are trapped at home like the rest of us, so we decided we would do something a little different from our usual “Follow Friday” column while we’re all isolating. Instead of interviewing up-and-coming comedians we love on Twitter, we’re going live on Instagram every week to check in with some of our favorite people in comedy to get a firsthand look at how they’re handling the pandemic. And she told us the heartwarming story of how she met her best friend: “April comes from a very rich family, and once every year, her dad acquires someone to do a Most Dangerous Game with. So they acquired me when I was like 11 or so and hunted me on their island off the coast of Washington.

But this week, Tesla fanboys succeeded in bullying a public official off a social media platform. Highly respected auto industry safety expert Missy Cummings was named a top federal transportation adviser on Tuesday — and by Friday she had deleted her Twitter account. As a woman transportation reporter who has been viciously trolled by Tesla fans for my stories — including, I’m sure, this one — this is a frighteningly familiar tale. And at least one senior federal transportation official pledged public support for Cummings on Twitter today. This morning, National Transportation Safety Board chair Jennifer Homendy posted an “anthem of strength” for her fellow safety advocates: a video of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers singing “I Won’t Back Down.”

Hayden Christensen is returning to his role as Anakin Skywalker in the live-action series Ahsoka, according to THR. There’s been no word yet on how exactly Skywalker will be coming back, and whether he’ll be appearing before or after his Darth Vader–ification. The show is one of several projects coming to the Star Wars canon, including an anime anthology series, an animated series, and a Boba Fett spinoff. And of course, there’s the Obi-Wan prequel series — for which Christensen is also returning. May the Force be with every Star Wars fan who’s trying to keep up.

According to Deadline, Ryan Gosling is in final talks to play Ken in the long-awaited Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie. The Warner Bros. film will be directed by Greta Gerwig, who is also set to co-write the script with Noah Baumbach. Gosling has kept busy, starring as Neil Armstrong in First Man and as K in Blade Runner 2049. In fact, Gosling reportedly turned down the boy toy role at first because he didn’t have time. Welcome to the Barbie world!

After graduation, she channeled her curiosity and nose for a good story into documentary filmmaking, securing work with a British production company. “She was just brilliant, someone everyone admired,” says Hutchins’ close friend Rachel Mason, director and writer of the Emmy-nominated 2019 documentary, Circus of Books. Mason says her friend was “so excited” about the movie, a Western also starring Jensen Ackles and Frances Fisher. The film was one of five projects in development that Hutchins was a part of, including another feature-length film called Beneath, a sci-fi thriller starring Terrence Howard. “She was an incredible mom and role model to all the other women in this industry,” says Mason, whose son was close friends with Hutchins’ son.

While the region has long attracted filmmakers, Hollywood on the Hudson has never quite arrived. “The good news is that those productions spend enormous amounts of money,” HVFC director Laurent Rejto says.

A Manhattan jury took less than six hours of deliberation to return guilty verdicts on all six counts Parnas faced. Parnas and Fruman were arrested by the FBI in 2019 while attempting to leave the country. Fruman pleaded guilty last month to solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national. Another co-conspirator, Parnas’s co-defendant Andrey Kukushkin, was also found guilty on Friday of two counts related to the scheme. Parnas faces another trial for allegedly defrauding investors using a fake company called — no joke — Fraud Guarantee.

Court documents and a call sheet offer a detailed account of the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins. The fatal shooting occurred during a rehearsal. The AD shouted “cold gun,” a signal understood to those on set to mean the gun did not contain ammunition. After the shooting, the armorer took possession of the gun Baldwin fired, along with a spent casing. Multiple reports published Friday paint a picture of a production that was deeply troubled ahead of the fatal shooting.

They buy a $21 million house as a temporary weekend place, while they continue to argue with the Southampton Village Board of Architectural Review & Historic Preservation about their plans to build a “grand house” on the site of the storied, historic mansion they tore down a couple years ago. There’s 1.8 acres of land and a 15,352-square-foot mansion with 10 bedrooms and 14.5 bathrooms. What the couple tore down was described in a former listing thus: “An heirloom American Art Deco majestic jewel estate [that] has reigned in Southampton for nearly a century. It was Paley who added the swimming pool, pool house, and reflecting pools. In the Sotheby’s auction of the Browns’ Four Fountains furnishings, legendary interior designer Albert Hadley wrote, “Four Fountains was a unique architectural example of American Art Deco Design.”

I suppose, in a way, the movie has indeed executed his vision: This butthole-shaped worm does threaten to overwhelm my consciousness. Another man who’s never visited Dune is David Lynch, whose 1984 adaptation of Dune imagined the worm like so:Photo: Universal PicturesStill not so anal, though I can see it inching toward that territory. So why does the new Dune worm look like this? First there are the worm’s teeth, which are those long filaments reaching toward the center. Because they can bend, the worm’s teeth are curving inward in the shot, which I suspect contributes to the holey appearance.

The Nets’ Kyrie Irving is out because he has steadfastly refused to get vaccinated for COVID-19, and the 76ers’ Ben Simmons isn’t playing because he got in his feelings when his employer asked him to work on his craft. That’s the lesson the Nets quickly learned with Irving that the 76ers haven’t figured out yet. That [Irving] situation is so different than this situation,” 76ers head coach Doc Rivers said before the Nets’ 114-109 victory. “Unless Ben Simmons is traded for a difference-maker, we’re in the prime of Joel’s career. We have to get back either Ben Simmons playing well for us, who helps us win the championship, or we have to get back a difference-maker for Ben Simmons.

Dante Pettis had a hunch that he might get elevated from the Giants’ practice squad at some point, given the injuries that had piled up for the team at wide receiver, but he wasn’t sure when that would happen. But last Saturday, the day before the Giants’ hosted the Rams, Pettis joined the active roster for his first appearance in a game this season. Dante Pettis Robert Sabo“Getting back there again is fun just to be able to be with the returners and catch a few punts, kickoffs, whatever it is,” Pettis said after practice Friday. Pettis finished with 90 punt returns for 1,274 total yards, including a long of 89 yards his sophomore season. Head coach Joe Judge said on Friday the Giants need to factor their field position and the scheme that’s called into punt returns — and who the punt returner is.

ORLANDO, Fla. — James Dolan should probably pay Julius Randle’s fine of $15,000 for tossing the ball into the stands after the Knicks’ season-opening victory Wednesday. Randle probably shouldn’t have been in the game with the Knicks up 28 points after he played 46 minutes in the double-overtime victory Wednesday, but Thibodeau is going to Thibodeau. Randle had just banked in a 3-pointer to put the Knicks up 31, laughed on the way downcourt, then stole the ball on the other end. Julius Randle drives on Wendell Carter during the Knicks’ 121-96 win over the Magic. It’s a hard foul.

Friday’s announcement was not the first time Israel has pressured rights advocates. In 2019, the country’s Supreme Court allowed the government to expel Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. Shakir had been accused of supporting the boycotts, divestments and sanctions movement, which its critics have called anti-semitic. He says that he did not advocate for the BDS campaign in his HRW capacity.

(CNN) Some of the world's leading chess players have withdrawn from next week's Grand Swiss tournament in Riga, Latvia, citing health concerns after the country entered into a four-week long lockdown due to a surge in Covid-19 cases. The country has been struggling with the spike of Covid-19 cases and low vaccination rates since the beginning of October. However, a statement released by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) announced that the Grand Swiss and Women's Grand Swiss tournaments have been permitted to go ahead by the Latvian government after it approved international top-level sports events to be held during the month-long lockdown. Nakamura ponders his next move during a rapid chess game at the Open World Rapid and Blitz Championships in Moscow on December 28, 2019.

The crown prince of Saudi Arabia said on Saturday that the world's top oil exporter aims to reach zero-net emissions by 2060 and more than doubled its annual target to reduce carbon emissions to almost 280 million metric tons. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was speaking in recorded remarks at the Saudi Green Initiative, which comes ahead of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties, or COP26, in Glasgow from Oct. 31 - Nov. 12, that hopes to agree on deeper emissions cuts to tackle global warming.

Jaber, who is also the United Arab Emirates' minister of industry and advanced technology, told the Saudi Green Initiative that the world had "sleepwalked" into a supply crunch after a "serious" reduction in investment in hydrocarbons in the past 7-8 years.

Beneficiary designationsChildren with special needs who receive Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income can’t have more than $2,000 of assets in their name. Money should never be left directly to the child who has special needs, but rather it should be left to the child through a legal vehicle known as a special needs trust. It’s also a good time to review how a special needs trust is being funded. Advisors used to recommend against naming the special needs trust as a beneficiary of a traditional IRA or other qualified retirement plan. Life insurance is another planning tool that is often used to fund a child’s special needs trust.

The kingdom’s oil and gas exports form the backbone of its economy, despite efforts to diversify away from reliance on fossil fuels for revenue. The global summit COP26 starting Oct. 31 will draw heads of state from across the world to try and tackle global warming and its challenges. It is being described as “the world’s last best chance ” to prevent global warming from reaching dangerous levels. Leaked documents first reported by the BBC emerged Thursday showing how Saudi Arabia and other countries, including Australia, Brazil and Japan, are apparently trying to water down an upcoming U.N. science panel report on global warming. The documents are purportedly evidence of the way in which some governments’ public support for climate action is undermined by their efforts behind closed doors.

09:09Health officials should have known about major failings at a private Covid testing lab within days of the problem arising, rather than taking weeks to shut down operations at the site, senior scientists say. The affected swabs were processed from 2 September, but neither Immensa’s own quality control processes nor oversight from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) raised the alarm before concerned members of the public complained, triggering a formal investigation. “In the long list of Covid disasters and scandals, this is pretty near the top,” said Alan McNally, a professor in microbial evolutionary genomics at the University of Birmingham, who helped set up the Lighthouse Covid testing lab at Milton Keynes. He said:You shouldn’t be relying on anecdotal reports to spot a problem of this size. The UKHSA suspended work at the Immensa lab on 12 October, at least three weeks after academics and others raised concerns about discrepancies in regional Covid test data.

A groundbreaking legal judgement sanctioning state-backed prostitution has been overturned by the Government, after the UK’s most senior judge barred a disabled man from sleeping with a sex worker. He overruled his officials who did not want to challenge the verdict because they feared the Government would lose the legal challenge. He ruled that the disabled man's care workers would be acting unlawfully if they enabled him to have sex with a prostitute. In the judgement, he also said there was no legal precedent in the European courts recognising it as a human right to purchase the services of a sex worker. “The arrangements envisaged for securing the services of a sex worker would place the care workers concerned in peril of committing an offence,” said Lord Burnett.

Yonks ago (2013), an editor called asking me to try this crazy new way of dating: via apps.

On apps, you look for the perfect partner, but in real life, you’re drawn to imperfections. Which is how it happened in real life when I first saw Alex.

AdvertisementA bundle of youthful and optimistic energy, Mr Ahmed released thousands of political prisoners, lifted restrictions on independent media and asked hundreds of exiled opposition leaders to return home. Ironically, Mr Ahmed, who is an ethnic Oromo, used to work with the TPLF's political coalition, which dominated politics in Ethiopia for nearly 28 years. The war itself is likely to be futile, despite the various claims of victory emanating from Mr Ahmed and Mr Rado. Yet the TPLF's fighters make up a superior force with levels of commitment and discipline that the Ethiopian military cannot match - a fact of which Abiy Ahmed is almost certainly aware. However, if they opt for total war, the potential for human suffering and mass casualties is practically unlimited in this increasingly angry land.

One of the world's largest oil producers, Saudi Arabia, announced Saturday it aims to reach “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions by 2060, joining more than 100 countries in a global effort to try and curb man-made climate change. That approach focuses on still unreliable carbon capture and storage technologies over efforts to actually reduce global reliance on fossil fuels. The announcement only pertains to Saudi Arabia’s efforts within its national borders, and does not impact its continued aggressive investment in oil and exporting its fossil fuels to Asia and other regions. The kingdom’s oil and gas exports form the backbone of its economy, despite efforts to diversify away from reliance on fossil fuels for revenue. Saudi Arabia has pushed back against the recommendation that fossil fuels be urgently phased out of the energy sector.

Meanwhile the panic about soaring gas, oil and electricity prices – though unrelated to the transition away from carbon – has put the need for genuine, sustainable, energy security under the spotlight. Further along in transition than many others, it is able to lead by example, to share and market its experiences. It can offer significant intellectual property, and infrastructure expertise essential to the transition away from carbon to countries with less developed plans. The EU can support the UK’s COP Presidency, the COP secretariat and other global leaders such as the US in talking up the need for climate action in Glasgow next week. But European climate leadership will come into its own after leaders have gone home, putting the full range of its external toolkit into action to engage with the re-balancing of geopolitics as the world transitions away from carbon.

So a really good way to start the day after being one-under through five," he smiled. "Obviously I'm going to have to go make birdies tomorrow," conceded Morikawa. "Hideki's obviously not going to make a bunch of bogeys, but we'll see where the day ends. "We always feel like we're always within striking distance and just got to get off to a good start. On the front nine there's a few birdie holes, especially these first two holes, so we'll see what we can do then."

"I announce today Saudi Arabia's target to reach net zero emissions by 2060 through its circular carbon economy approach," said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a recorded statement at the "Saudi Green Initiative" forum. A statement said Saudi Arabia would "contribute to cutting global methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030, as part of its commitment to deliver a cleaner, greener future". In March, Saudi Arabia unveiled a sweeping campaign to tackle climate change and reduce carbon emissions, including a plan to plant billions of trees in the coming decades. The OPEC kingpin aims to reduce emissions by generating half of its energy from renewables by 2030, Prince Mohammed said at the time. The initiatives come as energy giant Saudi Aramco, the kingdom's cash cow, faces scrutiny from investors over its emissions.

Playing partner Tringale, who is seeking his maiden PGA Tour win, was meanwhile taking the conventional route. Up until then, it had all been going smoothly for Matsuyama, Japan's first male major winner, who is seeking his seventh PGA Tour win and first in front of his adoring home fans. Two years ago, he pushed Tiger Woods all the way at the inaugural Zozo Championship on the same course as the 15-time major winner bagged a record-equalling 82nd PGA Tour win having led from gun to tape. 'Really tricky out there'Followed by the majority of the 5,000 spectators a day allowed on to the course, Matsuyama was quickly into his stride. "Just need a few bits to go my way," said Wallace, who is four behind going into the final round.

(Yonhap)South Korea on Saturday achieved its goal of fully inoculating over 70 percent of the country‘s population earlier than scheduled amid its accelerating vaccination drive. South Korea began its nationwide vaccination campaign in late February. Currently, the restrictions on private gatherings have been lifted to allow up to eight people in the greater Seoul area, provided that four of them are fully vaccinated. A maximum of 10 people, including six fully vaccinated, are allowed in other regions. Talk of booster shots is gaining traction, with authorities planning to start booster shots for people over 60 and those who are less immune next month.

Belarusian authorities have abolished mask mandates less than two weeks after they were introduced and a day after the country registered a record number of new coronavirus infections. The decision came after authoritarian ruler Alyaksandr Lukashenka dismissed the mask mandates and other measures to control the spread of COVID-19 as unnecessary. The mask mandates were introduced earlier this month amid a new wave of infections and required Belarusians to wear medical masks in all indoor public areas, including public transport and stores. In announcing the end of the mask mandates, Lukashenka said: "This is the advantage of a dictatorship -- whoosh, and a wrong decision is no longer valid." Russia has set several daily records for coronavirus infections and deaths in recent days, prompting President Vladimir Putin to order a nationwide week of "nonworking" starting on October 30.

Moldova’s parliament has approved a government-requested state of emergency until November 20 as it tries to ease gas shortages amid soaring world energy prices. The eternal flame at a World War II monument in the capital Chisinau has been extinguished due to gas shortages, the defence ministry said on Friday. Head of Ukrainian state gas transmission operator GTSOU, Sergiy Makogon, told the Reuters news agency the supplied volumes “are only enough for 67 percent of Moldova’s needs”. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told his Moldovan counterpart in Kyiv that Ukraine would continue pumping gas to Moldova. The country’s gas shortages come amid skyrocketing gas prices that some in Europe have blamed on Moscow not providing additional supplies to put pressure on the continent.

Cisse, who lives on West 147 Street, was charged with murder, attempted murder, weapons possession and counts related to the stolen car, according to cops.

PHILADELPHIA — The small-ball-happy Nets experimented with going big for the first two games of this season, but when push came to shove, they went with what they knew. Head coach Steve Nash started Nic Claxton and Blake Griffin together in the frontcourt in Friday’s 114-109 win over the 76ers, moving Kevin Durant to small forward and deploying usual small forward Joe Harris in the backcourt alongside James Harden. That sparked a 16-1 run, with the Nets holding Philadelphia to 0-for-9 shooting and forcing two turnovers. They bring a different dynamic; they bring shooting, they bring the speed that we need,” James Harden said. The Nets will play Sunday’s home opener without Kyrie Irving, because of his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

A top al-Qaida leader is dead after a US drone strike in Syria, the military announced Friday. Abdul Hamid al-Matar was killed by the airstrike in the northwest section of the country, according to Army Maj. John Rigsbee, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command. “The removal of this al Qaeda senior leader will disrupt the terrorist organization’s ability to further plot and carry out global attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians,” Rigsbee said. The attack on al-Matar came two days after a US outpost in southern Syria was struck by drones and rockets. With Post wires

Even Magic Johnson is very worried about the Lakers. The Lakers were down 32 in the third quarter and starting fighting amongst themselves and with fans in the 115-105 defeat. “The @Lakers have team issue and a basketball issue,” Johnson tweeted Friday. Johnson, who won five titles with the Lakers and recently served as their president of basketball operations, doesn’t like what he’s seeing one bit. Only time will tell if this Friday night was an aberration or the start of an ugly season for the Lakers that Johnson seems to fear.

Food and Drug Administration researchers found the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to be highly effective at protecting kids from COVID-19 – as federal regulators inch closer to greenlighting child-sized doses for 5-11 year-olds. FDA researchers concluded in a study shared Friday that the Pfizer vaccine’s benefits in preventing hospitalizations and deaths “would clearly outweigh” any serious side effects in children. As FDA voices their advocacy for kid-sized Pfizer vaccine doses, federal regulators are inching closer to green-lighting child-sized doses for 5-11-year-olds. via REUTERSThe CDC backed the FDA’s recommendation that Americans be able to mix and match their vaccination booster shots on Thursday. The panel has also endorsed approval of a Moderna half-dose booster shot as well as a Pfizer booster shot for at-risk Americans that received their second vaccination shot within the last six months.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments next month in a case involving a Texas law banning abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, fast-tracking a thorny legal matter ahead of a separate case that could result in the overturn of the court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision. The nine Supreme Court justices will consider the same issue Nov. 1, as well as whether the Biden administration and abortion providers even have standing to challenge the law in federal court. The law, known as Senate Bill 8 or SB 8, went into effect in early September after the Supreme Court declined an emergency appeal filed by abortion providers.

"We oppose digital protectionism and authoritarianism and today we have adopted the G-7 Digital Trade Principles that will guide the G-7's approach to digital trade," the communique published by Britain said. Digital trade is broadly defined as trade in goods and services that is either enabled or delivered digitally, encompassing activities from the distribution of films and TV to professional services. The deal agreed on Friday is a first step in reducing those barriers, and could lead to a common rulebook of digital trade. The principles covered open digital markets; cross border data flows; safeguards for workers, consumers, and businesses; digital trading systems; and fair and inclusive global governance, the communique said . "We should address unjustified obstacles to cross-border data flows, while continuing to address privacy, data protection, the protection of intellectual property rights, and security," an annex to the document said.

For example, in one of dozens of potential pathways to achieving the target, coal emissions would need to fall by 79% from 2019 to 2030. A global power crunch and shortage of natural gas has driven up coal demand, sending prices soaring to records in nominal terms and squeezing supplies. In total, half of the region’s coal plants have closed or will close by 2030. China alone is currently building or planning coal power plants that are the equivalent of six times Germany’s entire coal burning capacity. Global emissions are surging back this year as the economy recovers and power crunches ripple around the world.

(Bloomberg) --Most Read from BloombergSaudi Arabia has pledged to eliminate planet-warming emissions within its borders by 2060. The U.S. and European nations have put pressure on Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s highest emitters per person, to accelerate efforts to curbs emissions and invest more in renewable energy. Still Pumping OilThe net-zero goal doesn’t necessarily mean Saudi Arabia has to reduce oil output, since it only applies to territorial emissions. Those generated when the kingdom’s oil is burned in cars, factories and power plants abroad won’t count, according to United Nations accounting rules. “The net-zero goal firmly establishes Saudi Arabia in the G-20 economies that are pushing on this agenda,” she said.

Suze Orman says avoid making this 'huge mistake' when refinancing your mortgageWith mortgage rates on the rise, homeowners are scrambling to refinance before rates go much higher. 'So very wrong'The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate sat below 3% for months before popping back over the line this month. Orman is concerned that many enthusiastic refinancers make a costly mistake: automatically reaching for another 30-year mortgage, even if they've been paying down their existing 30-year loan for years. "Sure, the new mortgage is at a lower interest rate, but you just extended your mortgage payment on this home to 44 years!" Let's say you are indeed still holding on to a 30-year loan you took 14 years ago during September 2007.

Sheldon junior Brock Thomas blocked the potential game-winning field goal attempt by Roseburg as time expired to preserve a 49-47 Irish win in a wild Class 6A football contest Friday night at Roseburg. The Irish (7-1, 3-0 in the Southwest Conference) nearly blew a 15-point fourth quarter lead as Roseburg (7-1, 3-1) nearly pulled off an incredible comeback. The Irish took a 42-34 lead into the fourth quarter and stretched that lead to 49-34 with eight minutes to play. Roseburg scored a touchdown to cut the Irish lead to 49-41 midway through the quarter. Roseburg recovered the ensuing onside kick and eventually positioned themselves for a field-goal try, but Thomas came up with the block to seal the win.

Experts are predicting more actions to come but whether “Striketober” can lead to permanent change remains an open question. Ten thousand John Deere workers have gone on strike, 1,400 Kellogg workers have walked out, as well as a walkout threatened by more than 30,000 Kaiser Permanente workers, all inflamed by a profound disconnect between labor and management. With this in mind and with myriad employers complaining of a labor shortage, many workers believe it’s an opportune time to demand more and go on strike. “We were deemed essential workers right out of the gate,” Laursen said, noting that many workers racked up lots of overtime during the pandemic. “The labor shortage is not necessarily going to last.” She sees the number of strikes declining once the labor shortage ends.

Any tax changes would come on top of the £20bn freeze in the income tax allowances announced in the spring and the £36bn raid on incomes to fund the NHS announced last month. The Autumn Budget will be the second financial statement made by the Chancellor this year, following the Spring Budget on March 3. Raising the cost of alcohol – 7/10The price of a pint could change in a shake-up to alcohol duty, following a review announced at the 2020 Budget. Changes could include standardising the different tax rates across alcohol types or raising alcohol duty each year in line with inflation. However, such changes would prove wildly unpopular and are unlikely to follow recently announced increases to National Insurance contributions and dividend tax rates.

But what does this comeback mean in the social media landscape? DWAC is listed on the Nasdaq index and, according to the release, Donald Trump's new group would be valued at $875 million (€ 752 million).

Alec Baldwin was handed a weapon loaded with live ammunition by an unwitting assistant director who yelled "cold gun" in the moments before the actor fatally shot a cinematographer, police said. An assistant director picked up the gun from the cart and brought it inside the building to Baldwin. The assistant director was unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, according to the warrant. When Baldwin pulled the trigger cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42 was fatally shot, and director Joel Souza, 48, was injured. Ms Hutchins was hit in the chest, and Mr Souza, who was standing behind her, was hit in the shoulder, the warrant said.

Articles in the New York Times, Washington Post and elsewhere on Friday focused on how Facebook apparently intensified political division. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms banned Trump from their platforms for encouraging the violent effort to thwart the democratic process. Haugen told U.S. lawmakers early this month that the social media giant fuels division, harms children and urgently needs to be regulated, drawing pledges Congress would take up long-delayed action. The social network software quickly offered Smith a “barrage of extreme, conspiratorial and graphic content” including from the QAnon movement known for unfounded conspiracy theories, according to the researchers. DefenseFaced with the mounting criticism, Facebook on Friday detailed new steps it has taken to protect the election and keep the social network safe.

The Justice Department contended in court papers that Texas has “successfully nullified” the court’s abortion-rights precedents by designing the law to avoid federal judicial review. That prompted the Biden administration to turn to the Supreme Court, seeking to temporarily block the law and suggesting the court might want to hear arguments and issue a definitive ruling. In agreeing to hear the case, the Supreme Court said it will decide whether the Justice Department may “bring suit in federal court and obtain injunctive or declaratory relief against the state, state court judges, state court clerks, other state officials, or all private parties to prohibit S.B. 8 from being enforced.”The Supreme Court is taking the unusual step of bypassing the appeals court, which hasn’t yet made a final ruling. They argued that the Texas law is having such a sweeping effect on abortion rights that the Supreme Court shouldn’t wait months or years for the case to wend its way through the judicial system.

Mr Porter is facing an estimated $1 million legal bill for his discontinued legal battle with the ABC over a report that revealed he faced a historical rape allegation.

(CNN) The White House announced late Friday that it would further postpone the release of more documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, pointing to the "significant impact" of the Covid-19 pandemic. President Joe Biden issued a memo that said the national archivist recommended he "'direct two public releases of the information that has ultimately 'been determined to be appropriate for release to the public.'" The first will be an "interim release" later this year, with a second, "more comprehensive release in late 2022," the memo said. The memo said that the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down the process of reviewing whether redactions continue to meet the "statutory standard." Kennedy's assassination prompted a whirlwind of questions from the public and researchers, plenty of conspiracy theories and reflexive secrecy from the government.

'Crime, immigration, and wokeness'In her presentation, Coulter urged conservatives to focus on three issues in the upcoming midterm election: crime, immigration, and "wokeness." “Now he's going around saying the most important issue is the ‘2020 election fraud.’ This never, ever, ever works. Remember he lost Georgia for you, he will do the same thing in the midterms, will do the same thing in the presidential election,” Coulter said.

After a long wait aggravated by the global pandemic, Dune, one of 2021's most highly anticipated movies, is finally here! Although the beloved eponymous 1965 sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert has seen many screen adaptations to date, none match the meticulousness and creative grandiosity of Denis Villeneuve's latest Timothée Chalamet-led directorial venture.

Anyone who chooses to run 50 miles must be deeply motivated — it's a requirement if you've decided to push your body to the limit in that way. Dr. Jennings tells her story in "Run to Be Visible," a powerful 18-minute documentary released by Patagonia and directed by Devin Whetstone and Jordan Marie Daniel. The idea to run 50 miles sprang from her desire to find closure after Dr. Jennings received her degree. "But in so many Indigenous communities, including my own, we run for community," Dr. Jennings explains. "Being able to run for others and honor them in this way is just a beautiful ceremony in itself."

Urban Decay founder Wende Zomnir just launched a new makeup brand called Caliray. We tested the Caliray Come Hell or High Water Mascara, which is a water-resistant tubing mascara.

I applied the Come Hell or High Water Mascara at the start of my day around 10 a.m. knowing that I had a long night ahead of me. If you're someone who prefers your mascara to give you super dramatic, fluffy lashes, you may not love the Caliray Come Hell or High Water Mascara as much as me because it is more on the natural-looking side.

Though you can argue that all yoga is self-care — you are, after all, tending to your body in ways you may not do during your busy day — I particularly like the types of flows specifically geared toward self-care. These, often, are slower in nature, incorporate massage and bits of meditation, and also might include affirmations from the instructors teaching them. One of my favorites is this 10-minute self-care flow from Yoga With Adriene YouTuber and yoga teacher Adriene Mishler, which I've included ahead in the roundup of similar videos. It's gentle, tends to the upper body and hips, and gives you time to actually rub out knots in your neck and feet: two places that hold tension. I'm ecstatic to bring you the following videos that I hope will, in turn, settle you into a sense of stillness and self-love.

This photo shows the Bonanza Creek Ranch one day after an incident left a crew member dead and the director injured. The revelation came amid increased scrutiny of the film set and the general practice of using prop guns in productions, with Hollywood industry workers lamenting online that they have long complained about safety issues. The assistant director who handed Baldwin the weapon “did not know live rounds were in the gun,” police Detective Joel Cano, who wrote the affidavit, stated. Cano requested to gather costumes, film, cameras, prop weapons, and ammunition, as well as documentation of who owned them. The detective wrote that the armorer “was given the prop gun after it was fired by actor Alec Baldwin,” then removed the “spent casing” from the gun before giving it to the police.

One officer had his honesty on the witness stand questioned by two separate judges in 2011. The next year, the NYPD busted him for asking colleagues to engage in ticket fixing. A few years later, yet another judge in another criminal case discredited portions of his sworn testimony. The records reveal a wide range of misconduct allegations and findings against NYPD officers ranging from dishonesty to brutality to inappropriate associations with criminals. In 2019, WNYC/Gothamist broke news that prosecutors across the city maintained secret compilations of such records, and has since pursued their public release through numerous FOIL requests and appeals.

When a massive asteroid struck Earth some 66 million years ago, were dinosaurs around to experience the cataclysm? Last week, at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America (GSA) in Portland, Oregon, paleontologist Robert DePalma and colleagues added detail to their claims. They presented evidence of fossils from Tanis—including stunningly well-preserved bones, skin, and footprints from what’s probably a Triceratops—that suggest dinosaurs were indeed witnesses to the asteroid that ushered them out of existence. In the magazine article, DePalma and colleagues were quoted as saying these fossils suggested dinosaurs were alive and thriving up until the asteroid’s impact. She thinks DePalma and colleagues have more work to do before their conclusions find broad acceptance.

“It's really, really important for the health of the relationship to continue to nurture and have a connection with your own individuality,” Boyd says. “It's not appropriate and is actually really unhelpful to do emotional processing about your ex with your current partner,” Boyd says. In fact, "throughout a relationship, it is normal to have thoughts and feelings about your connection and longevity," Fraley says. “You are not your thoughts,” Boyd says. For example, "if your partner asks your thoughts about their friendships or familial relationships, tread lightly and do more listening than speaking," Henry suggests.

VPN routers explainedIn order to understand VPN routers, you need to know what VPNs are . A VPN router, then, is a router with VPN software installed on it directly.

For devices like game consoles and some smart TVs, the only option is to use a VPN router to virtually change locations. You can also use a VPN router to get around the device limits imposed by premium VPN providers, since the router counts as a single device.

COULD ALEC BALDWIN FACE CHARGES AFTER ‘RUST’ MOVIE SET SHOOTING? EXPERTS WEIGH INHalls was unaware live rounds were inside the firearm he grabbed and handed to Baldwin, a detective wrote in an application for the search warrant, the AP reported. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office obtained the search warrant Friday as part of efforts to investigate the shooting. Rust Movie Productions, the company behind the film, is also conducting its own review of what happened, officials said Friday. Gutierrez handed over the firearm used by Baldwin to responding police officers after they arrived at the scene, the report said.

The thriller only had eight days of shooting remaining in Wilmington, N.C., when Lee prepared himself for a scene in which his character is shot and killed by Funboy, played by actor Michael Massee. Before the scene on March 31, 1993, Massee believed the prop gun he was handed was loaded with blanks. Unbeknown to the crew or Massee, the tip of a .44-caliber bullet had become lodged in the barrel of the prop gun weeks before.

In “American Made,” Farah Stockman writes about the downfall of manufacturing employment in the United States by focusing on the lives of workers at one Indianapolis factory that was relocated to Mexico. Stockman, a member of The New York Times editorial board, talks about the book on this week’s podcast. You had so many people who fought for these manufacturing jobs to be good-paying jobs, and decent jobs that you could raise a family on.

Speaking of Trump, he would have nuked the supply chain crisis like it was a hurricane. You get between parents and their children, you start a battle that'll be over quicker than a typical Joe Biden workday.

Protesters outside Laundrie's parents' house say they need to answer questions about investigationProtesters who gathered outside of Brian Laundrie's parents' Florida home on Friday said they need to give any more information they have about the investigation, according to a report. “I’m glad it’s over but it’s not over,” protester Ann Carol Lemiszko told WSVN-TV in Miami. “We need answers to all the questions.”Human remains found in the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park were identified as Laundrie on Thursday. The remains were found after more than a month of searching for Laundrie who was a person of interest in fiancée Gabby Petito's strangulation death. “They should have admitted the truth right away where he was at,” protester Wally Lemiszko told the station.

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers teammates Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard were involved in an heated verbal exchange during a timeout in the first half of a 115-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. “I don’t want nobody to try to make this into an issue between me and AD,” Howard said after the game. “Or [saying] I’m trying to cause a problem with the team because I’m not.”The incident began when Davis approached Howard while the center was sitting on the bench. From there, some contact was made by each player, but Howard was pulled down to his seat by teammates. “It’s over with.”The retooled Lakers, a team with championship aspirations and the second-best BetMGM odds, fell to 0-2.

Alec Baldwin defended by Debra Messing after ‘catastrophic’ shooting on ‘Rust’ setDebra Messing is coming to the swift defense of Alec Baldwin after Baldwin fired a prop gun on the set of his western film "Rust" and shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza. The "Will & Grace" actress, 53, issued a response to a conservative pundit who tweeted that a headline stating, "Alec Baldwin kills person with gun, criminal investigation underway," was "accurate." "It is absolutely NOT," Messing replied. "A prop gun was handed to him. Then a catastrophic event happened where Halnya [sic] Hutchins lost her life and Joel Souza was injured.

Week 8 of the college football season is already here and it's time to take our weekly look at some of the games that bettors are attacking heavily at BetMGM. This game is currently receiving more action than any other game on Saturday's college football slate. That's likely why it's the third-most popular game in terms of betting action.

Stephen Colbert ripped a Republican lawmaker’s bonkers take on the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday’s “Late Show.”New Hampshire state Rep. Ken Weyler (R) released a lengthy “report” filled with conspiracy theories about the safe and effective shots, including claim it allowed “unknown, octopus-like creatures” to be injected into children worldwide and were stealing people’s thoughts and feelings through 5G.

Steve Wolf, weapons safety expert for films, explains for Rachel Maddow some of the gun prop terminology and tools used on film sets and why on-set safety protocols would require multiple mistakes for someone to be injured in an accidental shooting like what reportedly happened during the filming of "Rust" with Alec Baldwin.

Had investors voted on Friday against the poison pill it would have handed ADC a victory. About 79% of the votes supported the poison pill, Tokyo Kikai said in a statement. ADC said Tokyo Kikai would have lost if ADC had not been excluded, as the number of votes cast for the poison pill were fewer than those ADC could have cast alone. A victory for Tokyo Kikai would potentially make it easier for other Japanese companies to use poison pills. Tokyo Kikai has said ADC hurts its corporate value, while the fund argues that a ruling in Tokyo Kikai's favour would fly in the face of shareholder equality.

Skyhobo / Getty ImagesThe pandemic put only a temporary damper on the housing market, as the market has rebounded robustly, hotter than ever. It’s easy to feel the pressure to buy when houses are getting snapped up all around you, but does that mean you should jump or is it better to wait out a hot housing market and see if it calms down? “One cannot time the market with certainty.”Khari Washington, a broker and owner of 1st United Realty & Mortgage, adds, “No one knows if the housing market will drop and when it will drop. Builders have not built enough housing and interest rates remain low.”“The right time to buy is when a person is ready,” adds Washington. You may buy at a little lower or higher price at different times of year but that is typically unpredictable in a smaller market.”More From GOBankingRatesLast updated: Oct. 22, 2021This article originally appeared on GOBankingRates.com: The Pros and Cons of Waiting Out the Hot Housing Market

Roughly 0.6 percent of the nearly 5.2 million doses delivered to the region have been wasted, compared to 1.1 percent of 58 million doses shipped statewide, according to CDPH. San Diego, McClain and others noted, has a close relationship with northern Mexico, especially Baja and its estimated 3.7 million residents. As of Oct. 21, the U.S. State Department lists more than 200 million doses donated to more than 100 countries across the globe. UC San Diego had a vaccination program over the summer that vaccinated about 26,000 maquiladora workers at the San Ysidro port of entry. And the need for countries to share across their borders is bigger than San Diego and Tijuana.

When Russia last year became the first country to launch a coronavirus vaccine, called Sputnik V, it was hailed as a matter of national pride and a sign of its scientific know-how. AdvertisementThe low vaccine acceptance is of increasing concern as Russia suffers a sharp rise in cases, setting records for infections and deaths nearly every day this month. Many Russians are suspicious of vaccines as a whole because of a distrust of authorities dating to the Soviet era. With Sputnik V, there was widespread concern that it was approved for use before the completion of full clinical trials. While extolling Sputnik V and three other domestic vaccines, state-controlled media often criticized Western-made shots, a message that many saw as feeding doubts about vaccines in general.

SAN JOSE — Not long ago, some wondered when St. Francis would beat Bellarmine again. St. Francis stretched its winning streak over the Bells to six games, its longest in the series. “We just believe in ourselves,” St. Francis coach Greg Calcagno said. “We believe in us and do what we do.”What St. Francis did Friday was take advantage of its superior size in the trenches and mismatches on the edges. If they don’t play well and their opponent does, they can lose a football game.

Chandler needed something, heading into the locker room at halftime with Queen Creek students chanting, '"Over-rated!" It was Chandler's 43rd consecutive win, a streak that began against Queen Creek. He had a 25-yard touchdown pass to Bryan King in the third quarter called back by an ineligible-receiver penalty. Then Queen Creek, deep in its end of the field, had to punt again. This time, A’mauri Washington blocked it, and Holmes was there for the Chandler touchdown.

With the Wild earning a couple of days off this week, captain Jared Spurgeon and his wife, Danielle, hosted the team’s annual Halloween party at their home in Edina. In the end, though, nobody could compete with what winger Nick Bjugstad brought to the table. He dressed up as teammate Nico Sturm, shaving his head to create the full effect. “We didn’t do a Halloween party, obviously.”As if the haircut weren’t enough, Bjugstad wore Sturm’s actual workout gear, and even carried around a foam roller. “I don’t know,” Bjugstad said.

Insecure has been a masterclass on embracing authenticity – specifically the authentic lived experiences of Black women – on television. “It shows Black people just being Black without any extra sauce,” said Orji in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. Sitcoms like Girlfriends and Living Single chronicled the realities of how Black women socialize and the joy at the center of our friendships. Insecure protects its realistic portrayal of Black women and Black life in general by centering Black creatives behind the scenes: the writers’ room, costuming department, and other central creative arenas. While some of the most popular Black television shows of the past were written by majority-white writing rooms, Insecure hosts mainly Black writers (“When I got to Insecure, our diversity hires are white people,” said Insecure writer Ben Cory Jones).

When they were smuggled into the drug lord’s private zoo in the 1980s, there were just four hippos. A pink statue of a hippo greets tourists at Hacienda Nápoles Park in Puerto Triunfo, Colombia. Hacienda Nápoles was once a private zoo with illegally imported animals that belonged to drug trafficker Pablo Escobar. Animal rights activists and conservationists have also sought to protect the hippos, vehemently protesting any initiatives to cull the animals. “The hippos are not Escobar’s legacy, they are simply animals that escaped and bred and made a home in an environment that is not their own,” Serna said.

Achieving a global climate deal in Glasgow in the next three weeks will be harder than signing the Paris agreement of 2015, the UK president-designate of the Cop26 talks has said. “This is definitely harder than Paris on lots of levels,” said Sharma, who took charge of the summit in February 2020, weeks before the first lockdown. “The IPCC report, while it was very alarming, was quite helpful in helping to focus minds,” said Sharma. Measuring all countries’ national climate plans against the 1.5C goal would be a key part of Cop26, said Sharma. “The stars were perhaps differently aligned going into Paris,” concedes Sharma.

Voting rights activists hold a brief rally before a civil disobedience action at the White House this week. Joe Biden delivers remarks at the 10th anniversary celebration of the dedication of the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington DC. “Joe Biden has demonstrated over time his ability to take a licking and keep on ticking. “When the ink dries about the story of this piece of history, you’re going to see that as the continued theme when it comes to Joe Biden. Mike Tyson has a quote, ‘The key to being successful is peaking at the right time,’ and I think Joe Biden will in the end do just that.”

China has passed a law to reduce the “twin pressures” of homework and off-site tutoring on children. China’s parliament said on Monday it would consider legislation to punish parents if their young children exhibit “very bad behaviour” or commit crimes. It has also cut back on homework and banned after-school tutoring for major subjects during the weekend and holidays, concerned about the heavy academic burden on overwhelmed children. At the same time, China is urging young Chinese men to be less “feminine” and more “manly”. The backdrop to Beijing’s drive for what could be called more traditional family values is the country’s growing demographic crisis.

"Sweet" and "gentle" are not the words normally associated with a convicted killer who bludgeoned a man to death. But when filmmaker Christian Trumble met Crystal Hunnisett over a Zoom call, he was struck by how "charming" the murderer was. Just four months before Mr Bick's death, Hunnisett had walked free from court after being cleared of the murder of Reverend Ronald Glazebook. Trumble says: "The police and the prosecution say 'the mission' is overblown and made up after the event as a cover for (Hunnisett's) criminal activities." Trumble says Hunnisett's barrister Mr Martin-Sperry is still hopeful his client can be given a retrial.

James Corden is on track to become the UK's best paid television personality after reportedly signing a £15million, two-year deal with US TV chiefs. The Londoner, 43, could surpass Ant and Dec as the highest earning TV star, with his potential £7.5million annual income topping the duo's £6.6million for their stints on ITV.

And many containers were getting bumped off ships and forced to wait, adding to delays throughout the supply chain. The global supply chain shortages have affected aid groups and nonprofits by making it more difficult for them to acquire excess inventory from profit-making companies that are themselves dealing with supply chain issues. The pandemic has certainly made supply and demand extremely volatile, shifting faster than the supply chain can adjust. A dollar that a car company spends to warehouse computer chips as a hedge against supply chain troubles is a dollar that it cannot use on something else, including bonuses for executives or dividends for shareholders. These sorts of choke points exist throughout the supply chain.

But Hayashi stopped short of running in the 2017 Lower House election. The LDP Yamaguchi prefectural chapter’s switching of support from Kawamura to Hayashi is believed to reflect its fundamental attitude to politics. “In Yamaguchi, we don’t need a candidate who can’t become prime minister,” a prefectural assembly member in the Hayashi camp said. Amari and Toshiaki Endo, chairman of the LDP Election Strategy Committee, called on Kawamura to give up running in the Lower House election. By contrast, the inauguration of Kishida as LDP president and prime minister put Hayashi, a member of the Kishida faction, in the pole position.

The former head of England's coronavirus vaccine delivery drive is returning to the NHS to lead the booster jabs rollout amid growing concerns about COVID-19's impact this winter. Dr Emily Lawson had played a key role in the success of the initial rollout of coronavirus vaccines but in April she moved to Downing Street's "delivery unit", a team that works on implementing the government's policies. She has now returned to her previous job in a decision that could have been made in response to the slower pace of the booster jabs rollout. About one in nine of those who had their second dose of a coronavirus vaccine have had their third - an estimated 5.3 million people. It comes as scientific advisers told the government it needs to be able to "rapidly deploy" coronavirus restrictions known as "Plan B" if needed.

Davis School District Superintendent Reid P. Newey is seen aboveA federal civil rights investigation released Thursday found widespread racial harassment of black and Asian American students at a Utah school district, including hundreds of documented uses of the N-word and other racial epithets over the last five years. The probe also found physical assaults, derogatory racial comments and harsher discipline for students of color at Davis School District in Farmington, the Department of Justice´s Civil Rights Division said in a statement. A Davis School District bus sits at the Bus Farm in Farmington, Utah in a file photo. Sometimes the offensive behavior even came from district staff, with staff members ridiculing students in front of their peers, the investigation found. Black and Asian students are each roughly 1 percent of the approximately 73,000 students enrolled in the district north of Salt Lake City.

Manhattan parents were outraged when they learned that city officials stuck five registered sex offenders, including two convicted pedophiles, into a homeless shelter last year about a block away from an elementary school. City officials placed registered sex offenders Thomas Libby, Lonzel McNeil, Lee Jackson, Francis Harrison and Curtis Thompson in the Radisson Hotel at 52 William St. in 2020 amid the pandemic. The shelter is a one-minute walk away from the $36,000-a-year Pine Street Elementary School, in Manhattan's Financial District, and both McNeil and Jackson have history of sex offense crimes involving minor. This was the second such case where the city's Department of Homeless Services place sex offenders near a school. Since the sex offenders were on parole, the housing location would be illegal under New York State law.

Alec Baldwin was handed what was described as a safe "cold gun" on the set of his movie "Rust", but the prop gun contained live rounds when it was fired, according to details of the police investigation into the fatal shooting released on Friday. The assistant director who handed Baldwin the prop gun did not know it contained live rounds, the affidavit by Santa Fe Sheriff's Department Detective Joel Cano said. He said the prop gun was one of three on a cart outside a building. "As the assistant director handed the gun to the actor Alec Baldwin, (he) yelled 'cold gun', indicating the prop gun did not have any live rounds," the affidavit said. Both outlets also reported that there had been at least one previous misfire with the prop gun.

A record number of 1.7 million migrants have been arrested at the southern border for fiscal 2021, according to new Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data released Friday. The CBP’s last highest record number of arrests along the southern border was in 2000 when the agency recorded 1,643,679 for fiscal 2000, according to agency data.

Terry McAuliffe, Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin had pulled into a dead heat in a new Monmouth University poll. But dig deeper into the poll and you find even more for Republicans to like. Consider:* 1 in 5 registered voters said that education and schools was the most important issue in deciding their vote. That made it the second most cited issue behind only jobs and the economy (27% most important issue). Almost 6 in 10 self-identified independents (58%) said they disapprove of how Biden is handling independents.

The head of the environmental group Greenpeace on Thursday warned against efforts by countries and corporations at the forthcoming U.N. climate talks in Glasgow to “greenwash” their ongoing pollution of the planet. “This Glasgow meeting really is a vital moment where governments need to be courageous,” said Jennifer Morgan, the executive director of Greenpeace International. A spokesman for the IPCC's secretariat in Geneva downplayed the impact such lobbying efforts have on the panel's final reports. “They'll try and use this COP to show that they care, that they are really doing a lot,” said Morgan. A group of nine nations, including Costa Rica, Sweden and the Marshall Islands, on Thursday called for countries that haven't yet done so to update their climate targets ahead of the Oct. 31-Nov. 12 talks in Glasgow.

King Harald was present when the important and symbolic document “Lappekodisillen” came home to the Sami archive in Kautokeino, 270 years after the signing of the border treaty between Norway and Sweden. King Harald was welcomed with a traditional Sami song and flowers when he arrived at the Sami science building for the presentation ceremony on Tuesday afternoon. State Secretary Haugsbakken from the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Culture made the symbolic presentation to Sami Parliament President Aili Keskitalo, who received the document on behalf of the Sami people. “Lappekodisillen” is the name of an addition to the border treaty of 1751 between Denmark-Norway and Sweden, which then also included Finland. King Harald continued his visit to Kautokeino on Wednesday when he attended the state opening of the Sami parliament.

A future monarch or heir to the throne in Sweden wouldn’t have to give up their royal role if they were to contract a same sex marriage. The Marshall of the Realm confirmed that a same sex union would not be a bar to succession, just days after the Dutch Prime Minister issued a statement along similar lines. He has concluded that a same sex marriage would not be treated any differently and would only require the consent of the government, at the request of the monarch. His decision follows an announcement by Mark Rutte who said last week that a future Dutch monarch or heir could enter into a same sex union. However, so far, only the Netherlands and Sweden have openly stated that same sex marriage would not be a bar to the throne or succession rights.

A Sri Lankan police officer was seen brutalising two Tamil citizens in Batticaloa this evening, kicking one individual and dragging and slapping another individual on a motorcycle. The incident follows growing international condemnation of Sri Lanka's police force with Human Rights Watch (HRW) urging international partners to cease their engagement with "abusive Sri Lankan law enforcement agencies until there is demonstrated the political will to address the situation". In their report, HRW details how Sri Lankan police have committed grave abuses under the guise of the pandemic. Responding to the assault, Tamil National Alliance MP, R. Shanakiyan tweeted that "police brutality continues in Batticaloa and will fall on the deaf ears of Sarath Weerasekera". The proposed amendment effectively grants immunity to officers if the cases of human rights abuses, and subsequent investigations, are not completed within the six-month time span.

APHOUSTON (AP) — Two years after winning an AL Rookie of the Year Award, Yordan Alvarez has an AL Championship Series MVP to add to his trophy case. “He is just that type of player that single-handedly, he can win you a ballgame,” Boston’s Xander Bogaerts said. He joined Jose Altuve (2019) and Justin Verlander (2017) as Astros winning ALCS MVP following Mike Scott (1986) and Roy Oswalt (2005) winning the NLCS MVP before Houston switched leagues. He had surgery that Aug. 19 to repair a partially torn right patellar tendon plus a cleanup procedure on his left knee. “Last year at this time, we didn’t have Alvarez, and we came close to going to the Series,” Baker said.

The US will “unfortunately” continue to delay the public release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and officials say the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame. The move was announced in a memo signed by President Joe Biden and released by the White House Friday. In 1992, Congress ruled that “all Government records concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy . In 2018, former President Donald Trump delayed the full release of the JFK assassination records until 2021. President John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963, and roughly 250,000 files relating to his assassination are available to the public.

Facebook workers flagged conspiracy theories and the proliferation of QAnon-related content before the 2020 presidential election. As the mob stormed the Capitol, Facebook mass-deleted pro-violence posts, a worker told the Times. On the day of the riot, user complaints about posts that incited violence had grown — as Facebook employees reportedly analyzed. Company spokesman Andy Stone told the outlet the site was “proud” of its work safeguarding election content. Facebook began to scale back its political watch after the election, even when Trump posted “They are trying to STEAL the Election,” on Nov. 4.

In February 2019, Northam’s page in the 1984 edition of Eastern Virginia Medical School’s yearbook resurfaced. Included among the images on the page were a photo of a man in a Ku Klux Klan hood standing next to another man in blackface. Two men — one dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe and one in black face — appear on Gov. Ralph Northam refused to resign from his position and denied if he was either of the men in the yearbook photo. “Well, he didn’t do Ku Klux Klan, in fairness,” the former governor said.

And yet, despite its early victories, Looney’s crusade for a fundamentally different way of capturing students’ high school experience has also drawn skeptics. But winning over higher education’s elites also meant persuading other leading private schools to join his crusade. Private schools educate some 7 percent of the nation’s high school students but a third or more of many top colleges’ enrollees. Similarly, if he could enlist more brand-name private schools, many other high schools, public and private, would follow, he sensed, in the same way Advanced Placement courses had started in elite private schools and spread throughout public education. Today, 275 private high schools and 125 public schools are part of the nonprofit Mastery Transcript Consortium.

We didn’t know all of this background information at the time, but we figured there was enough for a good date. Dan, though, felt like we made a pretty big mistake from the start — and he wasn’t shy about telling us. “I thought that I would have had a verbal interview with somebody prior to trying to match me up,” he said. “Matchmaking is not a mathematical thing, it’s getting a sense of somebody, and thinking this person would match well with this other person.” How, he wanted to know, could we have set him up without interviewing him and his potential match first?

Have lights that aren’t too bright. With bedrooms, “you want to make sure the lighting sets a mood,” Hill-Mattauszek says. “When you walk into the space, you don’t want to hit yourself with an interrogation light.” To that end, both Hill-Mattauszek and Underwood recommend dimmer switches or plug-in attachments. But if they are not available, “a three-way bulb works nicely to control the level of light in a space,” Underwood says. Table lamps are a great option in the bedroom, but you can also go for wall sconces or pendant lights, Underwood says.

But even then, if you have highly expansive soils and the soil becomes soaked, the drywall mud may bulge out over cracks you patched. If those are too annoying to live with, or if cracks reappear, there is still one remedy to consider: Cover the walls with something other than drywall, such as paneling, boards or peel-and-stick wall coverings. You might want to first paint the wall a matching color (or black, if you’re using boards) to keep the gaps between the pieces from being too noticeable.

Tensions between Los Angeles Lakers big men Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard appeared to boil over on the bench during the second game of the 2021-22 regular season on Friday night. As the Phoenix Suns were up in the second quarter, Davis and Howard got into some kind of spat on the bench during a timeout. Video from the ESPN broadcast showed Davis forcing Howard back down onto his chair as he tried to get back up. Howard went back to the bench and Davis stepped back onto the floor. Davis had 33 points and 11 rebounds while Hoard had five points and six rebounds off the bench.

The Nets had never led or tied until LaMarcus Aldridge’s dunk with 48 seconds left made it 108-108. Embiid scored 19 points on a sore right knee suffered against New Orleans in the opener. NO IRVINGThe Nets decided Irving wouldn’t play or practice with the team at all until he could be a full participant. 76ers: Simmons’ next two chances to return are both on the road, Sunday at Oklahoma City and Tuesday at New York.

Ingraham pointed out Biden made fun of the idea of people wanting to exercise their constitutional freedoms:"Freedom. I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID," Biden said to laughter from the crowd in the Charm City. "We understand that Americans have an inherent right to self-determination," Ingraham later replied. "We understand life is filled with risks, and we know that we manage those risks better than Washington, DC ever could." I’ve never seen anyone hate their own team as much as the Left hates America."

AP Photo/Sue OgrockiThe Houston Astros are going to the World Series after defeating the visiting Boston Red Sox 5-0 in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Friday at Minute Maid Park. The Red Sox had their chances. However, Garcia put those fears to rest quickly, and now the Astros are back in the World Series. Garcia's unprecedented heat threw the Red Sox off. The Red Sox are a far better hitting team than they were Friday, but the teamwide slump came at an inopportune time.

The Astros advanced to the World Series for the third time in five seasons. Manager Dusty Baker’s team will open the World Series on Tuesday night, either at Dodger Stadium or home against Atlanta. “Hey, I’m going back to the World Series!” Baker told a cheering crowd at Minute Maid Park.

Lakers forward Anthony Davis tries to maneuver the ball past Phoenix Suns players Mikal Bridges, right, Jae Crowder, left, and Devin Booker during the first half of the Lakers' 115-105 loss Friday at Staples Center. Cameras caught Davis grabbing Howard by the arm, and when teammates intervened, Howard ended up getting shoved back onto the bench. Davis and Howard weren’t the only two unable to keep the building disappointment from the Lakers’ start to the 2021-22 season under control. A second technical and an ejection could’ve been looming had assistant coach David Fizdale not nudged Vogel back toward the bench. Davis, who picked up double technical fouls with Suns center Deandre Ayton, finished with 22 points and 14 rebounds.

If LiAngelo Ball is going to be a member of the Charlotte Hornets’ G League team, it will have to happen through Saturday’s draft. Due to a procedural issue, the Hornets do not own Ball’s G League rights as initially believed last week, a person with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Observer on Friday. However, because Ball inked a G League contract prior to the Hornets’ signing, he’s been placed in the overall draft pool. When is the G League draft? The G League draft is three rounds and starts at 1 p.m. Saturday.

It's only one game, but Ball helped the Charlotte Hornets erase a 23-point second-half deficit against the Indiana Pacers to secure a 123-122 victory in the season opener on Wednesday.

LiAngelo Ball, the middle brother of Lonzo and LaMelo, is now reportedly eligible to be selected in the NBA G League draft on Saturday, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN. The signing ensured the Hornets would retain his rights and could assign him to their G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm. LiAngelo Ball was announced by the Charlotte Hornets as being signed and waived, but became draft-eligible for all G League teams due to procedural issues that prevent him from being an affiliate player of the Hornets G League team, the Greensboro Swarm, per source. Ball averaged 9.6 points, two rebounds and 1.6 steals in five games with the Hornets in the Las Vegas Summer League. The Swarm hold the 14th pick in the first round of the G League draft.

Scott Applewhite)WASHINGTON (AP) — To supporters of the child tax credit, there has always been an “aha moment” — the recognition that as little as a few hundred dollars a month could be life-changing. The steady evolution of the child tax credit reflects a fundamental split on how lawmakers think about human nature. The convergence ultimately led to the 1997 overhaul of welfare that established a $500 tax credit for children.
