Levison Wood said that everybody was capable of being an agent of change
Sir David Attenborough’s dulcet tones have been synonymous with jaw-dropping scenes from the animal kingdom for generations, but they offer a “sugar-coated” version of reality, according to the explorer Levison Wood.
The 41-year-old, who was in the Parachute Regiment, said that it was vital natural history programmes include the true problems faced by endangered species.

Rishi Sunak with his wife, Akshata Murty, and their daughters
The prime minister had tried to take a break last year but had to return when the Queen died
Rishi Sunak will head off on a family holiday this week for the first time in four years.
The prime minister will travel abroad with his wife and children from Thursday, leaving Oliver Dowden, the deputy prime minister, in charge of the country.

Sunak’s press secretary said it would be the prime minister’s first proper getaway since he became chief secretary to the Treasury nearly four years ago.
He had tried to take a break after he lost the Tory leadership contest to Liz Truss last year, but he was “on a Spanish island for all of about 15 hours and then came back due to the Queen’s passing”, his aide said.

Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia launched the app after stepping down as chief executive of Virgin Money
Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia has sold the money management app she launched four years ago to Vanquis Bank.
She has secured a sale for an undisclosed amount to the FTSE 250 lender, which is seeking to shake off the legacy of a mis-selling scandal.

Snoop was established to help consumers to save money on household bills. Gadhia, 61, launched it when she left Virgin Money, where she had been chief executive, after its merger with Clydesdale Bank.
The app uses technology to track spending by users and to suggest how they can save money by switching to a new utility provider. The platform claims it can save an average household up to £1,500 a year.

The chasm that has built up between the market value of infrastructure funds and the assets in which they invest is problematic for expansion plans. Equity markets are no longer the easy source of growth capital that they have been.
In that context, Greencoat UK Wind is in a more assured position. It has scale on its side, owning and operating 46 wind farms throughout Britain. Those assets are capable of generating 1.6 gigawatts of power, enough to power 1.8 million homes. It also has capitalised on soaring wholesale energy prices. Projects include the Maerdy wind farm in south Wales and a 19 per cent stake in Hornsea One in the North Sea.

Coutts, the private banking division of NatWest, decided to end its relationship with Nigel Farage
A senior official at the Financial Conduct Authority has hit back at claims that a push by the regulator to improve inclusivity within banks had fuelled a culture that led to the Nigel Farage account closure scandal.
Sheldon Mills, an executive director at the FCA, said yesterday that there was no expectation at the watchdog that its initiatives to broaden diversity in the financial sector should be applied by banks when they take decisions on customers.

It came as Mills also threw the regulator’s weight behind Sir Howard Davies, the chairman of NatWest, who has faced calls to stand down over the Farage debacle. Mills said he agreed with Andrew Griffith, the City minister, who said on Friday that it would be helpful for

Ford was good-humoured and respectful yet had a steely tenacity
Tea consultant and buyer who devised the ubiquitous Yorkshire blend and propelled the success of brands such as Tetley’s
Warren Ford spent almost half a century associated with Yorkshire Tea, but the company never quite made a Yorkshireman out of him.
Victor Wild, a Swiss émigré who built up Bettys tearoom in Harrogate, had purchased the Yorkshire-based tea-and-coffee merchant CE Taylor & Co in 1962 but by the mid-1970s the business was struggling.
Sponsored
Wild (obituary, May 20, 2020) sought out Ford, a former senior buyer at Tetley’s tea, who recognised that a commitment to buying quality teas — “selecting” rather than “collecting” — would make the company stand out from the competition.
Ford proposed a new teabag product for the growing supermarket trade while championing the name Yorkshire to establish the brand. He also came up with the blend and even suggested

There has never been a Cycling World Championships quite like this. The many and varied disciplines of two-wheeled sport have long histories but this year most of them have been united under one umbrella for the first time.
Glasgow — or to be more accurate, Scotland — is this summer being the UCI’s guinea pig as cycling’s world governing body brings together 13 different world championships over 11 days, with more than 200 rainbow jerseys to dish out from elite to juniors, road racing to BMX, track to artistic, mountain bikes to electric bikes. The pan-cycling format will resurface every four years, in the year before an Olympics — in between the various world championships, which will be held separately, as before.

NHS Lanarkshire made the app available to help staff in the early stages of the pandemic but the ICO said it did not have the right policies, guidance and processes in place
NHS staff shared patients’ personal data on an unauthorised WhatsApp group more than 500 times in two years, a watchdog has disclosed.
Private information including names, phone numbers, addresses and clinical information were given in the group chat, members of which included 26 staff at NHS Lanarkshire.
Sponsored
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has reprimanded the health board over the group.
A person who was not a member of staff was added to the WhatsApp group in error, meaning they could have viewed sensitive patient information.
The group — used to communicate basic information from the start of the pandemic — was active until April 2022. The ICO concluded that the health board did not have the right policies or clear guidance and processes in place

When a chef who became a star on TikTok posted a picture of the new team at his west London restaurant, he hoped fans would join him in celebrating his continuing success.
However, the line-up of eight white men prompted a backlash from industry figures asking why Thomas Straker, who is known for viral videos of butter, had not hired any women or chefs from diverse backgrounds.

The social media support that had elevated Straker to success — 1.4 million on Instagram and 2.1 million on TikTok — took a turn. Critics said the line-up was “disappointing” and showed fine dining was “still a white boys’ club”, even in cosmopolitan London, but others defended him, saying “it’s his business and it’s the team he wants

Atrocious rains and floods were the order of the day during a rather disappointing July and August 135 years ago
Whatever happened to summer? After a wet, windy and at times cool July, it now looks as if August may follow suit, but it may be some consolation that far worse has happened in the past, and one outrageous example was the summer of 1888.
It was so cold that on July 12 The Times reported: “Extraordinary weather for the time of year is reported from various parts of the country. Yesterday there were falls of snow in Birmingham, North and East Derbyshire, Nottingham, the Lake District, Scotland, and on the east coast.” And the report continued: “It is even asserted that snow fell in some of the suburbs of London between 3am and 4am.”

David Richards, the former chief executive of WANdisco, is under pressure to repay a bonus from the company
WANdisco has demanded that two former executives repay $832,000 in bonuses to reflect a fraud scandal that has shattered the company’s value.
The data software specialist has written to David Richards, its co-founder and former chief executive, and Erik Miller, the former finance director, to request the return of bonuses paid last year.
Sponsored
WANdisco’s shares were suspended in March after it said it had discovered a sales and accounting scam. An investigation by FRP Advisory, the corporate consultancy, concluded that about $15 million of recorded revenue and $115 million of sales bookings linked to a senior employee had been illegitimate. The company’s value collapsed on its return to the junior Aim stock market last week.
Last year Richards, 52, was paid a bonus of

Andrew Malkinson spent 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit, before having his conviction quashed last week
Charging prisoners who were wrongly convicted for their living costs while in jail is unfair, No 10 has said.
Sunak has held talks with the Home Office over whether the present approach is “right and fair” after the release of Andrew Malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. Malkinson, 57, has said he is concerned that he could face deductions from any compensation for the living costs covered during his time in prison. The rules can be traced back to a 2007 ruling by the House of Lords at a time when it was the country’s highest court.

For years the top perfumers have attempted to bottle the sweetness of an Italian summer to create their fragrances. This season you can still smell like Sicily, but now with a warmer, more sultry feel. The hottest fragrances of 2023 have traded overly feminine florals for sexier scents such as amber, bergamot and leather. Find your favourite below.
Tom Ford, Soleil de Feu
£210, selfridges.com
Seductive scents typically have an after-dark vibe about them — hot, moody fragrances that work for cocktail hour and beyond — but Tom Ford, always an expert on the multifarious facets of sexiness, has created a daytime perfume in his latest summer fragrance. It’s big on amber, with woody, spicy notes, but it’s the tuberose that makes it a truly hot sauce.

Are not vacations during this month an exhibition of the perversity of human nature itself?
From The Times: August 1, 1923
We are now in August, the month in which all the world goes to the country and, perhaps, has least reason for doing so. So, at least, say the cynics. But then they always think that whatever most people do is stupid.
Sponsored
Still, in this matter there does appear to be some excuse. In fact, without being a cynic one may ask oneself whether holidays in August are not an exhibition of the perversity of human nature itself.
A hundred years ago or more people did not leave their homes much. But when they did they were as likely to go to the country in June, in time for the wild rose and the cuckoo and the nightingale, as

Clive Rowlands, the only Welshman to have captained, coached and managed his country at rugby, would request the smallest room available to deliver his oratorical nationalist flourishes before Wales took on England. He wanted to ensure the team was as close-knit as possible before taking the field at Twickenham or Cardiff Arms Park.
This pre-match message was unashamedly patriotic. “Instead of the game, he just talked about Welshness, what it means, why beating England is so important to the people. As coach, he barely discussed the rugby, or the opposition’s strengths and weaknesses,” said the great fly-half Barry John.

Thousands of British schools are being told to teach controversial theories about race to children as young as five.
Primary age pupils are being taught about American police brutality and teachers are being told that white children are “strongly biased” in favour of their race.
Sponsored
Efforts by schools to tackle sensitive conversations about race have been welcomed, but campaigners and academics are critical of the specific research being used because it relates to racial divisions in the US and teaches theory as fact.
The Key, a national information service with a £30 million turnover, provides learning and leadership resources to more than 13,000 schools and educational trusts in the UK.

Ten years ago he received a nine-game touchline ban for directing “obscene and inappropriate” language towards match officials during Leicester’s Premiership final victory over Northampton Saints.
And yet, Cockerill’s soft skills were as important as his hard edge in helping to transform England’s scrum from being the worst in the world last year to the best in the Six Nations. The reconstruction job was twofold: to build bridges with referees who had long grown impatient of England’s indiscipline and to forge a pack that could scrummage with power, detail

Paddleboarding is not as safe as it would appear
Paddleboarding might seem like an idyllic pastime without the dangers or physical demands of surfing, but it’s not as safe as it would appear. The sport’s growing popularity has led to a surge in the number of rescue callouts for lifeboats, according to the Royal National Lifeboat Association. Lizzie Carr, the first woman to paddleboard solo across the English Channel, shares her top tips on how to stay safe.
I would really advise not going out on coastal waters if there’s an offshore wind. People who don’t have much experience usually just look to see how sunny it is, but temperature is irrelevant. You need to know both the wind speed and wind direction. In terms of wind speed, I’d say anything below 10-12mph is

Speed-dial pace is not typically associated with BT. Normally there’s more of a call-centre vibe, as the four-year revamp of chief executive Philip Jansen has shown: investors left hanging on for yonks with nothing much, as yet, to show for their patience.
So this is a bit of a turn-up. Just three weeks after BT told everyone that Jansen was off, it’s already found his successor: Allison Kirkby, boss of Swedish telco Telia, who’s due to start by January. How’s that for fast work? Yes, chairman Adam Crozier already had her name in his phone, what with her being on the BT board as a non-exec since March 2019 — just two months after Jansen took charge.

The winners of the 16th annual iPhone Photography Awards, the original iPhone photography competition, have been announced in New York.
Chosen from thousands of submissions from every corner of the world, many of this year’s winning shots celebrate photography’s power to capture “the joy of what comes next, whether a frond preparing to unfurl, a morning mist hovering over a sleepy farm, or a flock of gulls heading to their next destination”, the organisers said.

Rishi Sunak visited Shell’s St Fergus gas plant in Peterhead for the announcement of further measures to protect the UK's long-term energy security
Some of Britain’s biggest North Sea oil and gas producers welcomed the government’s backing of carbon capture and storage projects yesterday.
Harbour Energy is the operator of the Viking development on the Humber and is a partner in the Acorn project in northeast Scotland. Shell is also involved in Acorn, along with Storegga and North Sea Midstream Partners, while BP recently became Harbour’s partner in Viking.

Both projects have been approved to receive financial support from Westminster, although the size of the funding has yet to be confirmed.
The backing means that engineering and design work can move forward, although a final investment decision is still to be taken. Both projects would be expected to create thousands of jobs and to bring in billions of

Thunderstorms Cause Hazardous Particle Pollution Levels in Riverside County
COACHELLA (CNS) – Elevated pollution levels prompted by thunderstorms in the Imperial and Coachella Valleys prompted air-quality regulators to issue a dust advisory in parts of Riverside County Monday.
The advisory went into effect at 11 a.m. Monday due to high winds in the Coachella Valley and will remain in place until 9 p.m., according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The thunderstorms caused pollution levels to worsen throughout the San Gorgonio Pass area and in the Coachella Valley, where particle pollution levels were expected to continue declining as the day progresses.
“In areas directly impacted by high levels of windblown dust or ash, limit your exposure by remaining indoors with windows and doors closed and avoiding vigorous physical activity,” SCAQMD officials said in a statement. “Run your air conditioning or an air purifier, if available, and avoid using whole house fans or swamp coolers that bring in outside air.”
People were also encouraged to stabilize loose soils to help minimize dust pollution and to slow down when driving on dirt roads, according to the SCAQMD.
More information about air quality in the area can be found at aqmd.gov.

President Biden Launching New Program for Student Debt
A new program for student debt is being launched by President Biden.
The new approach comes as student loan payments are set to resume in October after a long pause because of the pandemic.
The president’s new plan could lower monthly payments for some borrowers, and reduce the amount they pay back over the lifetime of their loans.
Borrowers will only need to apply once, not yearly.
The ‘Save Plan’ can be found on the studentaid.gov website, and will be fully functional next month.

Information for Borrego Health and DAP Health Patients
According to the DAP Health website, as of August 1, 2023, the sale of the Borrego Health system to DAP health has been officially approved by both the bankruptcy court and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The two entities have become one.
The two health care systems will now operate as one integrated system, with some 850 employees serving 100,000 patients of all ages, genders, ethnicities, orientations, and socioeconomic status at a total of 25 Southern California clinics located within 240 rural and urban zip codes from the Salton Sea to San Diego.
Here’s a list of Frequently Asked Questions and other information regarding the integration.
Does DAP Health own Borrego Health?
Yes. DAP Health purchased Borrego Health and is responsible for managing all Borrego Health employees and for operating all Borrego Health clinics.
Why did DAP Health choose to acquire Borrego Health?
DAP Health chose to acquire Borrego Health to protect and expand care for Borrego Health patients, and to increase its footprint so it can bring its award-winning, holistic, patient-centric model of care to more communities throughout Southern California.
Is the name of any DAP Health and/or Borrego Health clinic/center changing?
No. For at least the next 12 months, each clinic/center will retain its original name, branding, and signage.
How will this acquisition affect patient care?
Programs and services for all DAP Health and Borrego Health patients will remain the same everywhere, and in many cases will be improved as DAP Health adds more providers and support staff. There will be no interruption in care, which patients can access as they normally have.
Will patient care teams remain the same, and will patients retain their same provider/doctor?
Yes. All providers and care teams are now employees of DAP Health. However, most will continue to serve at the clinics where they have been working and caring for patients.
Will all Borrego Health and DAP Health clinics/centers have access to all patients’ medical records?
Yes. All clinics will have access to all patients’ medical records.
Can a patient transfer their care between Borrego Health and DAP Health?
Now that DAP Health and Borrego Health are one system, any patient who wishes to visit another clinic location simply needs to call to make an appointment.
Will there be changes in insurance requirements?
No. All insurance requirements remain the same.
Do existing Borrego Health patients need to change the facility name on their insurance card if they want to be seen at DAP Health?
No. Existing patients can continue to use their current insurance cards. Only new enrollees will be issued a new card that indicates that DAP Health is their medical home.
If you have a question that is not answered in the above FAQ, please submit a comment and concern submission on their website here.

Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman star, dead at 70
(CNN) — Paul Reubens, who found fame as the quirky man-child character Pee-wee Herman, has died, his publicist announced in a statement.
He was 70.
“Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness,” a post on his verified social media reads. “Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit.”
Reubens left a statement with his team to share with the public after his death.
“Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years,” Reubens wrote. “I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”
Born in Peekskill, New York, Reubens grew up in Sarasota, Florida, and developed an affinity for comedy early on in his life that he attributed in part to Sarasota being the winter home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum Circus.
In sixth grade, while attending Southside Elementary, Reubens stepped onto a stage for the first time as Nick Burns in “A Thousand Clown”s at The Players Theatre. While at Brookside Junior High, he appeared at The Players in “The Riot Act”, “Camelot” and “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever.”
He led his high school drama club and appeared in starring roles in productions of “The Comedy of Errors,” “My Fair Lady” and “Guys and Dolls.” He was also voted “Most Talented” during his senior year.
After high school graduation, Reubens enrolled in Boston University’s theatre department before moving to Los Angeles to attend the acting program at California Institute of the Arts, the new school founded by Walt Disney.
It was after college that Reubens created the iconic character Pee-wee Herman while a member of the famed Los Angeles improv group, The Groundlings.
“The Pee-wee Herman Show” premiered at The Groundlings Theatre in 1981 before moving to The Roxy on Sunset Strip, where it ran for an unprecedented five months.
The HBO broadcast of the show introduced the Pee-wee Herman character to a national audience.
The character was later brought to the big screen in the 1985 comedy, “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” which Reubens co-wrote.
Reubens went on to create, co-write and co-direct the series “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” on CBS, where the series earned 22 Emmy Awards during its run from 1986 to 1991. Reubens was nominated for 14 Emmy Awards during his career, winning twice.
In 2010, he produced, co-wrote and starred in an updated revival of “The Pee-wee Herman Show” in Los Angeles. The production later traveled to Broadway, opening to rave reviews at The Stephen Sondheim Theater.

Bonny Fire near Aguanga at 2,300 Acres, 20% Contained
AGUANGA (CNS) – A brush fire burning in and around the Cahuilla Indian Reservation southeast of Aguanga was at 2,300 acres Monday and 20% contained, with evacuation orders and warnings still in place.
The “Bonny Fire” was reported about 2:50 p.m. Thursday in the area of Bonny and Barber lanes, and as of 11 a.m. Monday, the brusher was still active, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
Crews were continuing to contend with spot fires ahead of the blaze, but winds were calm Monday morning, enabling firefighters to expand tentative containment lines.
“Firefighters continued constructing hand lines around the fire perimeter, with no significant fire growth throughout the night,” according to a fire department statement Monday. “Unburned brush within the fire perimeter continues to be a threat to containment lines.”
The agency said crews were on guard for possible scattered thunderstorms in the area, raising the prospects of “erratic fire behavior.”
Shortly after 2 p.m. Friday, the fire nearly swept across Chapman and Johnston roads, prompting Cal Fire air tankers and water-dropping helicopters to unload in the immediate vicinity of several homes, protecting them from damage, according to reports from the scene.
One outbuilding and a vehicle were destroyed Friday afternoon.
One firefighter was injured over the weekend, though not seriously.
Cal Fire tankers and choppers have been rotating in and out of the area, providing support to an estimated 2,000 personnel on the ground, including county engine and hand crews, as well as strike teams and other firefighters from the Corona Fire Department, Hemet Fire Department, Murrieta Fire & Rescue and other agencies.
Hot shot crews from Kern County were also dispatched to the area.
An evacuation order went into effect Thursday for the area south of Bailey Road, north of Running Springs Road, west of Chapman and east of Bonny. The order was expanded Friday afternoon to include all territory north of the San Diego County line, south of Bailey, west of Anza-Borrego State Park and east of Bonny.
An evacuation warning remained in place for the area north of the county line, south of La Clima Road, west of Anza-Borrego and east Spanish Spur Trail.
The area is sparsely populated.
A care and reception center is available at Hamilton High School, 57430 Mitchell Road, in Anza.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Mar-a-Lago property manager makes first court appearance in classified documents case
(CNN) — Carlos De Oliveira, the Mar-a-Lago property manager and newest co-defendant in the special counsel’s criminal case charging former President Donald Trump and his staff with mishandling classified information, made his initial appearance in a Miami courtroom on Monday.
De Oliveira was indicted by a grand jury Thursday on four charges, including conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements to the FBI.
On Monday, he was informed of his rights as a criminal defendant but did not enter a formal plea during the roughly 10-minute hearing.
He will be arraigned on August 10 in Ft. Pierce, Florida. He was released on a $100,000 bond pending trial.
Trump and his aide Walt Nauta, the third co-defendant in the case, have already pleaded not guilty after initially being indicted in June.
Chief Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres also ordered De Oliveira not to discuss the case with potential witnesses except through counsel, and prosecutors provided the defendant with a list of names. Trump and Nauta also were given a similar condition for their release. In addition, Torres said De Oliveira cannot travel outside south Florida without permission.
De Oliveira did not have a lawyer listed who is able to practice in Florida, where the case will be tried. Nauta faced a similar problem when he was first charged, and though he was able to proceed with his initial appearance alongside Trump in June, Nauta was forced to delay his arraignment until he had a Florida lawyer.
De Oliveira left the courthouse surrounded by reporters after his hearing concluded. He was escorted by federal agents and his attorney, John Irving.
De Oliveira declined to answer questions as he walked to the second building, including whether he had spoken to Trump since his arrest, whether he testified to a grand jury as part of the special counsel’s investigation and whether he had identified a Florida lawyer to hire.
“The Justice Department has unfortunately decided to bring these charges,” Irving said, “and now it’s time for them to put their money where their mouth is.”
Prosecutors in June accused the former president of mishandling several classified documents he had taken with him from the White House, further alleging that Trump schemed with Nauta, a Navy veteran and Trump’s close aide, to hide the documents from investigators.
The special counsel’s office added to those allegations on Thursday, saying that the three men together tried to delete security footage the Justice Department sought as part of its investigation.
After the security footage was subpoenaed by investigators, De Oliveira allegedly told the director of IT at Mar-a-Lago that “the boss” wanted the server the footage was kept on deleted, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors also accused De Oliveira of lying to FBI agents during a voluntary interview in January about whether he helped Nauta move boxes of classified documents around Mar-a-Lago.
De Oliveira has worked at Mar-a-Lago for more than 20 years, CNN has reported. He became property manager of the club in January 2022, according to the indictment, and previously served as a valet and maintenance worker.
Several people close to Trump, as well as people who know De Oliveira personally, told CNN that De Oliveira is not in Trump’s inner circle. Eight current and former Trump aides and allies who frequently visited Mar-a-Lago described De Oliveira as a maintenance worker who did odd jobs around the club and who did not frequently interact with club members or Trump’s team.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell's administration has narrowed the list of finalists to become the next New Orleans Police Department superintendent to three, the administration announced on Monday evening. They include interim-Supt. Michelle Woodfork, though one of two assessment panels who interviewed semifinalists said Woodfork doesn't have adequate experience for the job.

The pioneering hip-hop group rolled into NPR headquarters with a horn section to play five funky tracks.

The first thing I noticed as Cypress Hill strolled into NPR headquarters was Sen Dog cradling his signature bucket hat. I asked him if my assumptions were correct; it was indeed the original hat seen in all the videos from the early '90s. Before I could process that confirmation, B-Real asked me, "Yo, is your greenroom a greenroom?" We got everything we expected and more from Cypress Hill at the Tiny Desk.
While the term "pioneer" is used loosely in pop culture today, few terms describe Cypress Hill's impact over the past three decades more adequately. They are the first Latino hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum status. B-Real, Sen and producer DJ Muggs crafted a sound in the '90s that stretched beyond regional boundaries. It was dark, psychedelic and at times directly addressed mental health before the topic was commonplace. Many dismissed the group as "stoner rappers," yet the members were fervent advocates for the legalization of weed long before it came to fruition.
Touring members Eric Bobo and DJ Lord joined the duo along with Money Mark from Beastie Boys fame. The band summoned a horn section to fill out this rare minimalist approach to five, funky Cypress Hill things. Between each song, B-Real took his time to shed some historic light on the group's journey thus far.

U.S. farms have faced worker shortages for years. Now compounding the problem: The children of farmworkers are leaving the fields, forcing farm owners to look to other countries for labor.

TOPPENISH, Wash. — By 6 in the morning, Paola Mendoza has pulled her hair back under a baseball cap and donned a long-sleeved sweatshirt to report to her summer job on a farm in Washington's Yakima Valley, known for its apples, pears and hops.
Mendoza is not there to pick fruits or vegetables. She's a research intern working on a project to improve irrigation systems. She spends her days staking the fields and collecting samples alongside her boss, Alan Schreiber, who also employs her mother.
Patricia Mendoza has worked on Schreiber's farm for more than 20 years. She spends her days weeding, thinning, planting and hand-harvesting crops. During peak harvest, she used to work as many as 70 hours a week.
Her earnings have helped provide the family with a decent living. But from the time Paola was young, both her mom and her dad — also a farmworker — were clear about one thing: They did not want her future to be on a farm.
"They were working so hard to provide us with what they didn't have," says Paola, now 20. "They wanted better for me and my siblings."
Her research internship is as close as her parents want her to get to agriculture. In the fall, she'll start her senior year in college, where she's studying to become an elementary school teacher.
Farmers worry about finding enough workers
For farmers across America, finding enough labor has become a top concern. Decades ago, whole families of migrant farmworkers, the majority of them from Mexico, would travel around the U.S., following a route from Texas, through California, and eventually making their way to Washington. Back then, the U.S.-Mexico border was quite porous. Older workers described to NPR crossing through a fence that was no more than chicken wire. Gaping holes were common.
But times have changed. After Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. stepped up enforcement of the border, and crossing it became a risky endeavor. Farmworkers who were already in the U.S. began to settle. And now, many of them are aging out.
"My workforce is a little like me," says Schreiber. "It's getting a little heavier, and it's getting a little stiffer, and it's starting to have some medical issues."
That's left him worried about where he's going to find enough workers to keep his farm going.
/ Mike Kane for NPR / Mike Kane for NPR Farm owner and researcher Alan Schreiber stands at his research station in Toppenish, Wash., on June 14.
A farmer in Congress raises the alarm
From his farm in the Yakima Valley, Rep. Dan Newhouse, a Republican and third-generation farmer, can see the domestic labor force shrinking.
With farms unable to complete tasks in a timely manner, he says yields may be lower, the quality of the produce may be lower, and farmers will shift away from labor-intensive crops. Already, some farmers in his state have stopped planting asparagus, for instance.
Food is also going to get more expensive, Newhouse warns.
"So it's impacting not just the farmers ... but American consumers as well," he says.
Breaking the cycle of farm work
No single factor has led to the labor shortages farms are experiencing today. But in communities across rural America, a generational shift is contributing.
Consider the life story of Delores Gonzalez, a third-generation farmworker born in Glendale, Ariz. Her childhood is filled with memories of the annual migration from Texas to Washington, working alongside her parents and grandparents from a very young age.
"This was in the 1960s, when we could miss school ... and I could still pick cherries and everything at the age of 9," she says.
Eventually, the family settled in Washington. She married another farmworker and continued to travel to Montana in the summers, bringing her own children to the fields.
Looking back, she says the migrant life instilled in her great morals, values and work ethic, qualities she wanted to pass on to her children. But she also wanted to give them a better life.
"I planted the seed since they were little that they were going to go to college," says Gonzalez.
At 40, when her oldest child was graduating from high school, Gonzalez says something clicked. She wanted something better for herself, too.
"I'm tired of the cycle. I want to break it," she says. Gonzalez and her daughter entered college the same year.
Now, Gonzalez works as a migrant advocate at Grandview High School in the Yakima Valley, helping migrant students and their families get what they need to finish high school.
Jazmin Corona met Gonzalez at the high school four years ago. Corona was 15 at the time and spoke no English. She'd come from Mexico with her father, a farmworker, and joined him in the fields whenever school was out. In the summers, they made the same trek to Montana to pick cherries that Gonzalez had done years before.

Seeing promise, Gonzalez made sure Corona finished high school on time, enrolling her in fast-track summer programs. Corona worked on thick math packets after long days in the fields. As she neared graduation, she recalls her father laying out a choice for her.
"He told me one day, 'I already taught you how to work in the fields outside, under the sun. Now it's your time. You've got to decide if you want to continue here,'" she says.
She thought about how tired her dad has been all these years.
"I want to try something new," she said.
Corona is now 19 and a college student. For the first time in several years, she did not travel to Montana with her dad for the summer cherry harvest. Instead, she returned to the Grandview School District, where she landed a summer job.
"I want to work in the high school, hopefully here in the community," she says. "I feel that I have this connection with people."
Congressman looks to workers from other countries
The farm labor shortage is a concern that has reached the halls of Congress.
The H-2A visa program allows employers to bring in foreign workers for seasonal work, provided they cannot find workers locally to do the job, among other requirements. Use of the program has risen at a fast clip. Washington state alone has seen a nearly 1,700% increase in guest workers over the last 14 years.
But a common complaint is that the program is too expensive and comes with too much red tape.
Newhouse was one of several lawmakers to recently reintroduce a bill, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, which would cap H-2A wage increases. The bipartisan measure would also allow a limited number of year-round visas for nonseasonal labor, such as picking mushrooms or milking cows.
/ Mike Kane for NPR / Mike Kane for NPR A farmworker picks cherries on a farm in the Yakima Valley on June 14. Facing labor shortages, farms like this one are increasingly turning to guest workers brought in from other countries.
In addition, the bill would come with some protections for guest workers, including the right for workers to sue their employers. That's something labor advocates have been calling for given the large number and severity of civil rights and wage violations that state and federal investigations have uncovered in recent years.
"I want to make sure that there are fewer obstacles in front of our ability to produce food in this country and to make sure that the American people continue to have an abundant and safe food supply," Newhouse says. "And if we don't have an adequate labor force for the agricultural industry, that's in jeopardy."
Prior versions of the bill failed to gain enough support in Congress. The current version also faces an uphill climb. Moving any immigration-related bill through the Republican-controlled House is difficult.
"But that doesn't mean that the urgency of the problem is any less. In fact, it's greater," says Newhouse.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the first illegal cannabis stores were padlocked in Upstate New York. The governor introduced new cannabis law enforcement actions earlier this year, which could fine violators $10,000 a day, which doubles to $20,000 if a business continues to sell after a violation is affixed to their window.
The state said David Tulley is illegally operating eight retail cannabis "I'm Stuck" stores in Cayuga, Monroe, Oswego and Wayne counties. Stores that were shut down were located in Auburn, Lyons, Macedon, Ontario, Pulaski and Williamson.
The state said Tulley's "I'm Stuck" stores made illicit sales and processed and packaged cannabis products without a license. They said he ignored repreated notices and Office of Cannabis Management orders.
“As we work to build and expand the legal cannabis market, it’s critical to crack down on illegal operators who are breaking the law and undermining the success of entrepreneurs and consumers who follow the rules,” Hochul said. “This year I fought to enact new legislation that protects New Yorkers by granting new power to State agencies and our Attorney General to take new enforcement actions against bad actors. New York will continue to fight for an equitable cannabis industry that rights the wrongs of the past while protecting the health and safety of all New Yorkers.”
OCM sent a cease-and-desist letter to Tulley in February 2022, later issuing violations to his stores when he continued to operate.
"In emails to OCM, Tulley misleadingly described his stores as a “consulting” business that informs customers about the effects of cannabis, and in return, customers receive free cannabis products," the state said in a release. "However, undercover OAG investigators visited six “I’m Stuck” locations owned by Tulley and were able to purchase $1,000 worth of cannabis products."
Investigators from the Office of the Attorney General observed the store selling to minors on several occasions. At the "I'm Stuck" location in Ontario, an undercover investigator could purchase $200 of cannabis products for an underaged undercover.
“Legalizing cannabis in New York was a historic milestone to correct the harms of the past, but there are laws that must be followed to ensure cannabis products are safe and kept out of the hands of minors,” Attorney General Letitia James said. “David Tulley brazenly violated our laws, cheated taxpayers, and endangered our kids by selling unregulated cannabis to underage customers. [Monday's] enforcement action should send a clear message that businesses that are selling cannabis without a license will be stopped. I thank Gov. Hochul and her administration for their partnership on this effort to protect New Yorkers.”
James and the OCM are seeking penalties from Tulley's operation with Tulley potentially fined millions. The petition also seeks penalties from building owners where Tulley's stores operated — those owners can be fined $10,000 a day for each day unlicensed sales occurred at their property.
Tulley is represented by Attorney Joseph Bondy.
"In response to the detailed press releases of the Governor’s Office and Office of Cannabis Management, I note that the OCM and Attorney General have acted ex parte and without notice to secure temporary closure of seven of Mr. Tulley’s cannabis consulting locations, which also sold legal goods, ranging from cannabis culture and lifestyle fashionwear to ancillary products for the legal consumption of cannabis, in what we believe to be a violation of the Cannabis Law," Bondy said. "We will defend against the efforts to further enjoin Mr. Tulley on a number of specific statutory and constitutional grounds, which will be made by public court filing."
Bondy said he believes the regulatory inspections "appear to be little more than thinly veiled and pretextual warrantless searches in violation of the Fourth Amendment and state constitutional rights of all New Yorkers."
"Ironically, although the OCM frequently warns of the perils of the proliferation of untested cannabis being made available in thousands of storefront locations throughout the state, it neglects that the possession and gifting of cannabis has been permitted by law in New York since March 31, 2021—prior to the existence of a single licensed cannabis retail store," Bondy said. "The legislature obviously did not then find it to be a threat to public safety for all New Yorkers to be allowed to possess what was, at that time, untested cannabis from exclusively unlicensed sources. Nor is there any such limitation on the possession or gifting of cannabis under our penal code today."

Parents are increasingly turning to weighted sleepwear to help lull their babies to sleep, but a growing number of doctors and safe sleep advocates warn it comes with risks that shouldn't be ignored.

From pacifiers to white noise machines, there is a bevy of products marketed toward notoriously tired new parents that claim to calm babies and help them sleep better.
Among some of the newer offerings are weighted infant sleepwear such as swaddles and sleep sacks that — like weighted blankets for adults — are touted as a way to reduce anxiety and have a soothing effect on the wearer.
But a growing number of doctors and safe sleep advocates are warning about the potential dangers of weighted sleepwear for infants. Babies' bodies are still developing, critics say, and the added heft of weighted clothing could make it harder for infants to breathe, pump blood and move around.
"We do recommend swaddling. We do recommend pacifiers. We recommend rocking and shushing," Dr. Rachel Moon, a pediatrician at the University of Virginia, told NPR. "There are a lot of things that you can do, but please don't use a weighted blanket or swaddle."
Moon is chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' task force on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), which last year said weighted swaddles are "not safe" and recommended against using them and other weighted infant sleep products.
Though some U.S. safety standards for children's sleepwear exist, such as flammability requirements, there's no standard dictating whether infant sleepwear can be weighted or how much weight can be used. There's also almost no research on the safety or efficacy of weighted infant sleepwear.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says it received at least one report of a fatality involving a weighted infant sleep product, but it has not named the product. Other reports to the commission and online customer reviews indicate some babies had trouble moving in weighted sleepwear or had the weighted material ride up to their necks.
Still, companies that sell weighted sleepwear for babies say they use a safe amount of weight in their garments and suggest there is little evidence to back up the idea that their products are hazardous.
"Our products are helping a lot of babies and parents," Manasi Gangan, founder and president of the infant sleepwear company Nested Bean, told NPR. "Those who have used [them] swear by our products."
Weighted infant sleepwear, explained
Swaddling young babies while they sleep creates the feeling of being in the womb and helps them avoid accidentally waking themselves up with an involuntary reflex.
Once they start to roll over, many babies transition to sleep sacks, which keep them warm without the use of an actual blanket. Experts say infants should sleep alone in their cribs, since loose bedding can put them at risk of entrapment, suffocation and strangulation.
In recent years, companies have been offering swaddles and sleep sacks with added weight that they say will help ease babies into a restful sleep.
Gangan started Nested Bean in 2011 after the birth of her second son, who would only sleep when Gangan had her hand on his chest. She said the company's weighted sleep sack was the first one to hit the mainstream market, and to date Nested Bean has sold more than 2.5 million products. The company conducted two safety studies on its products before beginning to sell them, and Gangan said the company uses data to guide all of its decisions about safety.
The company's weighted swaddles and sleep sacks, which have added mass in the center and on the sides, are meant to mimic the pressure babies feel when you put your hand on them or hold them.
Though Nested Bean's products vary in weight, its sleepwear for infants under age 1 has roughly 1 to 2 ounces of weighted beads on the chest, Gangan said. The company has guidelines suggesting which weighted products are appropriate for babies based on their weight, and doesn't recommend any of its weighted sleepwear for babies under 6.5 pounds.
Another leading seller of weighted swaddles and sleep sacks is Dreamland Baby, which says its products have "evenly distributed weighted pockets across the front of the sleep sack from shoulders to toes."
Dreamland's weighted swaddles and sleep sacks for infants up to 1 year old contain between 0.8 and 1.5 pounds of weighted beads, according to the company's website, plus the weight of the fabric. The company recommends that babies using those products weigh at least 8 and 15 pounds, respectively.
In a statement to NPR, Dreamland said it has sold more than half a million sleep sacks since 2019 "with no reported adverse events caused by our gently weighted sleep solutions, evidencing that our product is safe."
The company suggested that the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidance against weighted sleep products was "not supported by scientific evidence, including product testing" and urged the organization to reconsider.
Experts say caregivers should wake up to the risks
Weighted infant sleepwear is a "very recent phenomenon" that poses several concerns for young babies, according to Moon.
One is physiological. Moon said infants' rib cages are not entirely bone yet, but rather connective tissue known as cartilage, which doesn't hold its shape as well as bone. "So if you put a weight on it, it's going to deform, and it's going to press down on the lungs and on the heart."
There is also no universal standard for how much weight an infant can handle, though many weighted blankets for older children and adults say users shouldn't exceed a weight of 10% of their body weight.
Moon also worries that weighted sleepwear could cause infants to sleep too deeply. It's important that babies wake up every two or three hours to eat for the first few months of life, she said, and if a baby is sleeping too deeply they may be unable to startle and rouse themselves in a potentially deadly situation, such as not getting enough air.
"Some parents like it because the baby will sleep longer and so the parents can sleep longer, but the sleeping longer is actually what is dangerous," she said.
Experts say weighted swaddles and sleep sacks may also make it harder for infants to move if they need to reposition themselves, such as rolling over from their stomach to their back.
Michelle Barry, the founder and president of the nonprofit Safe Infant Sleep, says she understands why exhausted new parents look for ways to help their babies sleep longer, but she worries about unregulated products that claim to offer a fix.
"We live in a time where, for the most part, if you want it you can find it. The products that are out there are overwhelming," she said. "It's great that we have so many options, but at the same time it's also worrisome."
There's some scientific research, but critics and advocates see the results differently
There has been some research on the effectiveness of weighted blankets in reducing anxiety and insomnia in adults, but the results are inconclusive. Some people with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have been treated with weighted blankets, too, but Moon says the data there is minimal.
Similarly, there has been scant research done to indicate whether weighted sleepwear is effective for infants — let alone safe.
One study published in 2020 assessed the use of weighted blankets on 16 infants being treated in a neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, for neonatal abstinence syndrome. Also called neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, the affliction affects babies who are forced to withdraw from drugs they're exposed to in the womb, such as opioids or antidepressants, and can cause increased fussiness and trouble sleeping.
Infants in the study were swaddled and then had a 1-pound weighted blanket placed on top of them for 30-minute sessions. Researchers remained in the room during the sessions and monitored the babies' heart and respiratory rates. The study included data from 67 total sessions.
There were no "adverse events" during the study and researchers never had to remove the weighted blankets due to infant distress, they said. The babies experienced "[n]o significant difference" in their breathing rates, but their mean heart rate "decreased significantly" when placed under a weighted blanket versus a non-weighted blanket, the authors wrote.
"This pilot study provides preliminary data that weighted blankets can be used easily and safely in a controlled environment with infants with [neonatal abstinence syndrome]," they added.
In separate research commissioned by Nested Bean and carried out by the engineering firm Engenium, five infants under 6 months of age had their breathing rate, heart rate and oxygen saturation level measured while researchers applied different weighted loads to their chests — roughly 1 ounce, 3 ounces and 9.5 ounces — for two minutes each.
As the weight increased, their oxygen saturation levels dropped, the study found, though it also noted that the average oxygen levels remained within normal parameters. Additionally, the babies' heart rates went up, unlike in the NICU study.
Researchers for Nested Bean said the 1-ounce weight did "not present clear indications for or against noted breathing hazard potential" on the infants in the study, but added that the 3- and 9.5-ounce weights "may increase potential hazard and subsequent risk" due to decreased oxygen levels and heightened pulse rates.
Moon acknowledged the 2020 NICU study but said American Academy of Pediatrics officials could not find any other studies with a "generalizable" population of babies who did not have that illness, and she said the short sessions used in the studies — two minutes and 30 minutes — didn't explain how babies would respond to the products over a longer period of time.
Gangan said she intends to use the results of the company's research to conduct an overnight sleep study.
Regulation hasn't caught up to weighted infant sleepwear — yet
Though there is no standard for weighted infant sleepwear in the U.S., there's work being done to create one.
A group of advocates, industry leaders and others has formed a subcommittee at ASTM, the international voluntary standards body, to create a voluntary standard for wearable infant sleep products, including weighted sleepwear.
The subcommittee is chaired by Barry and Dreamland Baby's CEO, Tara Williams.
Consumer Product Safety Commission officials are also involved in the work of the ASTM subcommittee. Though the CPSC sometimes creates its own mandatory standards for consumer products, it also regularly adopts voluntary standards created by organizations such as ASTM.
In June, American Academy of Pediatrics President Sandy Chung sent the commission and ASTM a letter urging them not to develop a voluntary standard for weighted infant sleepwear. The letter cited a lack of peer-reviewed data and other, non-peer-reviewed data showing a decrease in oxygen levels in infants using weighted sleepwear.
"This means there is evidence that the use of weight sleep products on infants can lead to lower oxygen levels, which if sustained, may be harmful to the developing infant's brain," Chung wrote. "A lack of substantial evidence about the possible harms of weighted sleep products should not serve as evidence that they do not cause harm."
The letter was first reported by NBC.
A spokesperson for the CPSC said it was aware of the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations from last year and that it appreciated "the safe sleep guidance these doctors are providing."
The commission also "continues to urge parents to shop carefully and consult with their pediatrician before buying any product that claims to improve baby health or help with sleep," the statement added.
Gangan, for her part, said she supported the creation of a standard for companies looking to bring their weighted infant sleepwear to market.
"The barrier of entry today is extremely low, and that's part of the problem," she said. "So on one hand, someone may take an extremely studious approach. On the other hand, someone may not because they're guided more by intuition than data."
Barry agreed, but added that the opinions of medical experts had to be taken seriously in the creation of a new standard to avoid allowing hazardous products to be sold to unwitting consumers.
She recalled the case of the now-recalled Rock 'n Play sleeper, which a congressional investigation found remained on the market even after Fisher-Price received multiple warnings about its safety.
"I really worry that if we don't fix the process and if we don't listen to these professionals — who have no stake in it in any other way besides not wanting anything to happen to these babies — that we're just going to end up with another Rock 'n Play situation," Barry said.

| Clashes Continue Between Factions In Palestinian Camp In Lebanon As Death Toll Climbs To 9
Clashes continue between factions in Palestinian camp in Lebanon as death toll climbs to 9
A Lebanese lawmaker announced a cease-fire agreement late Monday but some gunfire continued afterward, and earlier efforts to broker a cease-fire had failed to stop the shooting
By PTI Published Date - 06:00 AM, Tue - 1 August 23
A Lebanese lawmaker announced a cease-fire agreement late Monday but some gunfire continued afterward, and earlier efforts to broker a cease-fire had failed to stop the shooting
Sidon: The death toll rose to nine Monday in three days of clashes between Palestinian factions at a refugee camp in Lebanon that have pitted members of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party against Islamist groups.
A Lebanese lawmaker announced a cease-fire agreement late Monday but some gunfire continued afterward, and earlier efforts to broker a cease-fire had failed to stop the shooting and shelling through the narrow streets of the Ein el-Hilweh camp in southern Lebanon.
The violence began Saturday when an unknown gunman tried to kill Palestinian militant Mahmoud Khalil but instead fatally shot his companion. Full-blown clashes erupted Sunday when Islamic militants shot and killed a Palestinian military general from the Fatah group, Abu Ashraf al Armoushi, and three escorts as they were walking through a parking lot, according to a Palestinian official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to talk to the media.
On Monday afternoon, after a meeting between Lebanese officials and security forces and Palestinian factions, Lebanese lawmaker Osama Saad, who represents the Sidon area where the camp is located, announced a new ceasefire agreement.
Saad earlier told The Associated Press that officials are “making extraordinary efforts to find serious, effective, lasting and stable solutions to the situation inside the camp”.
On the ground, the intensity of the fighting decreased following the announcement, but sporadic shooting continued.
A Lebanese army spokesperson confirmed Monday that at least nine people were killed at Ein el-Hilweh camp. Two soldiers stationed outside the camp were lightly wounded, Col. Fadi Abou Eid said.
The Lebanese army mans a checkpoint outside and typically does not enter the camp, which is under the control of the Palestinian factions. Some Lebanese officials have called for the army to take control of the camps in the wake of the clashes.
Lawmaker Samy Gemayel, head of the Kataeb party, which during the Lebanese civil war allied with Israel against the Palestinian Liberation Organization, met with US Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea on Monday and called for “the disarmament of the camps and placing them in the custody of the Lebanese army,” the state-run National News Agency reported.
On Sunday, Palestinian factions said in a joint statement that they had agreed to a cease-fire during a mediation meeting hosted by the Lebanese Shiite Amal movement and the militant Hezbollah group in the city Sidon. But the cease-fire did not hold.
Some residents in Sidon neighbourhoods near the camp have fled their homes after stray bullets hit buildings and shattered windows and storefronts. The public Sidon General Hospital evacuated its staff and patients.
A Fatah statement condemned the killing of its security official, saying the attack was part of a “bloody scheme that targets the security and stability of our camps.” It vowed to hold the “perpetrators accountable”.
Rival faction Hamas issued its own statement Monday condemning the fighting and calling for dialogue to “spare the blood of our people and to preserve civil peace”. It called for formation of an investigative committee to look into who was responsible for the clashes.
Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Abbas both issued statements Sunday decrying the violence.
There are nearly 500,000 Palestinian refugees registered with UNRWA in Lebanon, although the actual number in the country is believed to be around 200,000, as many have emigrated but remain on UNRWA’s roster.
Palestinians in Lebanon are restricted in their rights to work and own property, and the vast majority of them live in poverty.

Centre to introduce Delhi services ordinance bill in Lok Sabha today
The bill is in the listed agenda of the government for Tuesday and is likely to be introduced by Home Minister Amit Shah
By ANI Published Date - 06:20 AM, Tue - 1 August 23
New Delhi: The BJP-led government will introduce a bill in Parliament today to replace the ordinance on control of services in Delhi.
The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, will be introduced in Lok Sabha today.
The bill is in the listed agenda of the government for Tuesday and is likely to be introduced by Home Minister Amit Shah. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal had informed Lok Sabha of the government’s business on Friday and mentioned that the bill to replace Delhi ordinance is on the official agenda next week.
The bill seeks to replace the ordinance brought by the Centre in May which excluded ‘services’ from the legislative competence of the Delhi legislative assembly. The ordinance was brought days after the Supreme Court judgement on the control of services in Delhi.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been seeking opposition parties’ support against the ordinance and the bill to replace it.
Members of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance are expected to oppose the bill in Parliament.
The government has expressed confidence of getting the bill passed.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination.
The Elon Musk-owned company, which has been rebranded as X, had removed the Twitter sign and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week. That work was temporarily paused because the company did not have the necessary permits. For a time, the “er” at the end of “Twitter” remained up due to the abrupt halt of the sign takedown.
The city of San Francisco had opened a complaint and launched an investigation into the giant “X” sign, which was installed Friday on top of the downtown building as Musk continues his rebrand of the social media platform.
The chaotic rebrand of Twitter’s building signage is similar to the haphazard way in which the Twitter platform is being turned into X. While the X logo has replaced Twitter on many parts of the site and app, remnants of Twitter remain.
Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message for comment Monday.

A blue jay tested positive for West Nile virus by the McHenry County Department of Health last week.

A blue jay tested positive for West Nile virus by the McHenry County Department of Health last week.
The bird was found dead on Tuesday, July 28, in Johnsburg. It was unclear exactly what caused the bird’s death, but there are no obvious external injuries, said Patti Nomm, McHenry County director of environmental health.
The department tests batches of mosquitoes weekly from May through October. So far, no positive results were found in any mosquito.
Nomm said it is “not unexpected” to find West Nile in McHenry County. Residents should take precautions to prevent getting infected by limiting outdoor time during early mornings and evenings, ensuring doors and windows have tight-fitting screens and emptying any stagnant water.
There have been fewer than five human cases of West Nile virus in the past five years, said Susan Karras, McHenry County director of public health nursing. Data shows that there were two cases in 2018. So far, there have been zero human cases this year.
The virus cycles through birds and mosquitos, Karras said. Humans are “dead end hosts” and cannot transmit the infection.
“Some infected birds can develop very high levels of the virus in their bloodstream and mosquitoes can become infected by biting these infected birds and passing to other birds,” Karras said in an email to the Northwest Herald.
West Nile virus effects on humans can vary from minor symptoms to becoming life-threatening. Many healthy people will only experience a fever, headache or body aches, according to the McHenry County health department.
In serious cases, the virus can develop encephalitis or meningitis, which can cause death. People at high-risk for severe symptoms are over 60 years old and have serious health conditions, the McHenry County health department said in a news release.
The health department tests about five to seven birds a year for the West Nile virus. Birds cannot transmit the virus to humans.
The health department advises using insect repellent with at least 20% DEET, which is a chemical that makes it difficult for bugs to smell humans. Other ingredients such as lemon eucalyptus and picaridin also can be effective against mosquitos.
Culex mosquitoes, a common type of mosquito found in Illinois, are most likely to carry the virus. They lay eggs in standing water such as clogged gutters, bird baths, abandoned swimming pools and old tires.
Pets can catch West Nile virus from mosquito bites, too, said Maryellen Howell, McHenry County director of veterinary health. She advises talking with a veterinarian about prevention since human insect repellent like bug spray can be poisonous to animals.

The Boiler Alert podcast returns to you once again as Ryan and I continue our look at the 2023-2024 men’s basketball roster as well as the 2023 Purdue football schedule.
With start off by talking about some updates to the Purdue football and basketball schedules. Seems sort of crazy the number of 7:30 games Purdue football is currently scheduled for doesn’t it? Does that mean people want to see us or that we just have a really tough schedule with some marquee opponents? Who can say for sure? I like to think it’s the former.
Then we talk about redshirt sophomore Brian Waddell and I do my best to not just consistently talk about how great his dad was because that’s not fair to him, plus Ryan might not have been alive when Matt Waddell played at Purdue so that’s really not fair.
Then we get to the bulk of the episode which is Ryan taking a look at the Iowa Hawkeyes. You’ll recall they were massively offensively challenged last year but of course woke up when they faced Purdue. Had to be that way didn’t it? Well Ryan tells us who they lost, who they gained, and what’s going on with the QB position. Plus, as promised, Ryan tells us how many punts it would take to make it to the field of dreams. Give us a listen, rate, review, and tell your friends all about us.

2023 Preview
Key Losses From 2022
Offense
QB - Jake Haener
As the starting QB for 10 out of 14 games, Haener led the Bulldogs to an 8-2 record. The two head scratching losses (20 point blow out @ Boise and the loss to UConn) both occurred with Haener on the bench due to injury. In total he threw for 2896 yards, 20 Tds, and 3 Ints.
RB - Jordan Mims
As the starting RB in every game last season, Mims carried the load on the ground putting up 1372 yards and 18 touchdowns on 261 carries. He ran for 209 yards and 2 touchdowns on 18 carries in their bowl win vs Washington State.
WR - Jalen Cropper
Cropper was the leading receiver by a wide margin. He hauled in 83 passes for 1086 yards and 5 touchdowns, averaging 13.1 yards a completion. Three big games (158 yards vs New Mexico, 164 yards vs UNLV, 136 yards vs Nevada) skew the numbers a bit. He lit up three bad teams but was held under 100 yards by everyone else.
WR - Nikko Remingio
The Cal transfer was the second leading receiver pulling down 74 receptions for 852 yards and 6 touchdowns, averaging 11.5 yards a reception. He led the Bulldogs in receiving in the MWC Championship Game with 5 receptions for 68 yards.
RT - Dontae Bull
The 6’7”, 320 man mountain started the first 7 games before suffering a season ending injury vs San Diego State. He played in 37 games over his 4 season career. The Victoria, British Columbia native was the first overall pick in the CFL (Canadian Football League) draft.
C - Bula Schmidt
All-Mountain West 2nd team, started 14 games at center. He appeared in 31 games over his career, and at one point or another, played every offensive line position.
Defense
DB - Evan Williams
The senior DB was named 2nd team All-Mountain West. He started 10 games was second on the team in tackles (69). He appeared in 32 games over his career, and accounted for 128 tackles, 16 passes defended and 4 interceptions.
DE - David Perales
Perales was named first team All-Mountain West after starting 13/14 games, registering 47 tackles and a team leading 16 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks. He also contributed two forced fumbles and an interception. His 22.5 career sacks in just 24 games puts him 6th on the All-Time Fresno State sack leaderboard.
S - LJ Early
The 12 game started notched 40tackles, 1 interceptions and 7 passes defended. For his career he appeared in 23 games, registered 70 tackles, pulled in 2 interceptions, and knocked down 12 passes.
Key Additions For 2023
Offense
QB - Mikey Keene
The UCF transfer has the inside track to win the starting quarterback job. In 2021 the 5’11”, 180 pound true freshman quarterback out of Chandler Arizona started the final 10 games for the Knights completing 272 passes for 1730 yards, 17 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. More of a game manager than a play maker as a freshman, his most prolific passing game came against a woeful Temple team. He put up 229 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 1 int in a 49-7 beatdown of the Owls. The Golden Knights went 7-3 with Keene as the starting quarterback, including a 29-17 embarrassment of the Florida Gators in the Gasparilla Bowl.
The addition of Ole Miss transfer John Rhys Plumlee for the 2022 season relegated Keene to the bench. He appeared in 4 games in order to maintain his redshirt, throwing for 647 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He came up big in relief of Plumlee against #20 Cincinnati in a 25-21 UCF win. He came off the bench and threw for 176 yards on 21 attempts, competing 71.4% of his passes. Starting the next game against Memphis, he led UCF to a 35-28 victory, completing 78.6% of his passes for 219 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception on 28 attempts. After failing to lead a late game comeback in relief of Plumlee against Navy that saw the 17th ranked Golden Knights fall to a 4-7team, he once again took the field in relief of Plumlee against South Florida. Despite a game effort by an awful USF squad, Keene led his team to a 46-39 victory, completing 15/19 passes for 129 yards and 2 touchdowns, including the game winning touchdown with 20 seconds remaining in the game.
Thus far in his career he’s been a winning, but unspectacular quarterback tasked with getting the ball out to playmakers as quickly as possible. He has limited physical upside, but sees the game well and plays his best when it matters most. It will be interested to see how a quarterback that averages 6.6 yards a completion in Gus Malzahn’s quick hitting offense fits into a Fresno State scheme that looks to attack down the field more often. However you look at it, the job of a quarterback is to win games, and Keene has shown a propensity for that during his time at UCF.
WR - Jaelen Gill
A member of the 2018 recruiting class, Gill originally signed with Ohio State out Westerville High School (OH). Considered an “all purpose back” as a recruit, the 4*, top 100 talent moved to wide receiver as a redshirt freshman, and then spent his next year of eligibility sitting on the bench for the Buckeyes. There is “buried on the depth chart” and then there is “buried on the Ohio State wide receiver depth chart” which is as buried as one can be in college football. Subsequently, Gill took his talents to Boston College.
His time in Chestnut Hill started with promise. In 2020 he brought in 29 passes for 435 yards and a touchdown in 11 games. Not earth shattering but better than the 7 passes he collected in 2 seasons at Ohio State. That promise never reached fruition. In 2021 he missed 3 games with injury and Zay Flowers, a fellow slot receiver, erupted onto the college football scene as one of the most electric players in the nation. 2022 was more of the same for Gill, he snapped 27 passes for 388 while Flowers pulled in 78 catches foe 1077 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Gill decided to use his extra Covid season and make a fresh start of things. Fresno State needs receivers and Gill needs opportunity. He’s got one last shot to live up to his lofty high school rankings and expectations. He reminds me a little of Charlie Jones in terms of career arc, but I hope he holds off on his redemption tour until after the first game. Look for Fresno to try and get the ball into his hands and let his running back skills take over.
Defense
S - Dean Clark
Clark, a 6’0”, 210 pound safety, had a star crossed career at Kent State. He saw limited time on the field as a freshman, appearing in 4 games and recording 6 tackles. Injury limited his sophomore season to only 4 games, but in those 4 games he recorded 28 tackles, an interception, 3 pass defenses, a forced fumble, and a blocked kick. Finally his breakout year came in 2021. He played in 14 games, recorded a team high 116 tackles, and knocked away 3 passes from his safety spot. Named a team captain, he was set to lead the Golden Flashes in 2022, but ruptured his Achilles tendon in winter workouts. He attempted to come back and play in 2022 but was limited to 4 games, and only managed 7 tackles.
He played 4 seasons at Kent State, in 3 of those seasons he managed to play 12 total games and make 41 tackles. In one of those seasons he played 14 games and made 116 tackles. Fresno State is hoping the healthy 2021 player made his way West and left the injuries behind him. Their 4-2-5 defense requires a solid tackling box safety, and Clark is a good one if he’s healthy.
Overall
Jeff Tedford is a long standing, well respected coach. They’re coming off 2 straight 10 win seasons and would like to extend that streak to 3. For that to happen, the rebuilt offense has to provide support to the veteran defense. I would say it’s good that Purdue catches them early before they get the offense figured out, but Purdue is working with a rebuilt offense and defense as well. As much as I love good football match-ups, both teams could probably use a warm up game, but you’ve got to play whoever is on your ridiculous schedule.
On paper, Purdue is the more talented team, but that same paper indicates that Fresno is the more experienced team. The Bulldogs have become accustomed to winning football games, and that’s the sort of confidence you need to win on the road. This should be one of the more intriguing week 1 match-ups. I think it’s a toss up and expect an ugly football game as both offenses try find what they do well.

B rand-name styluses can get expensive, and some of them may be worth it if you want extreme precision or need a certain brand to work with your device. But if you want a low-cost option the Digi Pen is a 1.2mm fine- tip stylus you can use on iPads and other tablets, and i t’s on sale for $35.97 until August 13.
The Digi Pen is a low-cost stylus for art or handwritten digital notes. It works similarly to the Apple Pen and offers the important basic features , just with fewer bells and whistles . It includes upgraded palm rejection, so you can write on an iPa d screen naturally without worrying about your hand touching it.
The streamlined stylus has a long battery life, up to 20 hours on a full charge. Touch controls activate or deactivate the pen, and it has a magnetic design to help keep it from rolling away. One reviewer writes, “It’s exactly like the Apple pen. I love it. It’s precise and the palm rejection works well. It isn’t 100% accurate every single time but none of the pens are. This is as decent as it gets.”
You can get the Digi Pen for iPad and Tablets for $35.97 for $35.97 until August 13 at 11:59 p.m. PT, though prices can change at any time .

Last year, Universal Studios released Bros, widely touted as the first mainstream queer romantic comedy, and it flopped...hard. Co-writer and star Billy Eichner blamed straight audiences “in certain parts of the country” and “homophobic weirdoes” for its failure, but I was in neither of those demos (you know what parts of the country he was talking about, and New York City isn’t one of them) and I didn’t see it because I didn’t think it looked very good.
I did eventually stream it, and I was kinda right—it was funny, but clung so fervently to its goal of being a classic rom-com in every plot point (except gay) that I spent half the movie debating whether it was supposed to be a parody.
I’m much more optimistic about Prime Video’s own stab at the formula, Red, White, & Royal Blue, which drops straight-to-streaming on Aug. 11, not only because I won’t have to leave the house to watch it, or because the premise is classic rom-com gold (the questioningly queer son of the president falls for the closeted queer son of the British royal family), but because I read the bestselling Casey McQuiston novel it’s based on, and I thought it was perfect fluff.
Red, White, & Royal Blue - Official Trailer | Prime Video
Meanwhile, if you’re a masochist looking forward to the debut of Saw X in theaters on Sept. 29, you can prepare by bingeing the first six films in the exponentially unhinged horror franchise when they drop on Prime Video on Aug. 1. Other film highlights from this month’s surprisingly stacked schedule: recent theatrical releases Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (Aug. 25), Women Talking (Aug. 29), and Cocaine Bear (Aug. 15).
Here’s everything else coming to Prime Video and Amazon-owned, ad-supported Freevee in August, including Puppy Love (Aug. 18 on Freevee), which is somehow not the first film based on a vi ral BuzzFeed video.

Victoria’s former anti-corruption boss has doubled down on his assertion that Premier Daniel Andrews concealed the true nature of a corruption report, as Labor MPs refuse to engage with the former judge’s suggestions for improving integrity.
Robert Redlich, the most recent commissioner of the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC), went on ABC radio on Tuesday morning to insist the premier had sought to “conceal and disguise” findings handed down in April.

Operation Daintree found the Andrews government improperly awarded a Labor-affiliated union a $1.2 million contract on the eve of the 2018 election to deliver a training program for hospital staff.
Andrews sought to downplay the report after it was tabled in parliament, insisting the report was “educational” and stressing there were no findings against anyone.

Australian middle-distance runner Peter Bol was winding down for the day in the tiny independent principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain when he received the most important phone call of his life.
Having completed a gruelling day of training at altitude, he was told by his US-based lawyer Paul Greene that Sports Integrity Australia was abandoning its investigation into whether Bol had used the banned substance EPO.
Greene advised him that SIA was about to release a statement on its website. Seven minutes later, the lengthy release appeared and Bol was officially set free.
So, after provisionally suspending Bol in January, then lifting it in February, but leaving an ongoing investigation hanging over his head for months as wild speculation stirred about his innocence, the federal government’s anti-doping body casually dropped a statement just after dawn on Tuesday AEST, drawing a line under the matter that cast the 29-year-old as an alleged drug cheat.

England and Australia have failed to have a traditional post-series drink after the home team locked the door to their dressing room.
An England spokesman claimed it was a “misunderstanding” and that England were “shocked” when they went to invite the Australians in and they had already left the ground.
An Australian team spokesman declined to comment, but sources close to the team, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, claimed they knocked on the England dressing room door a number of times and waited for more than an hour.
There was tension between the teams when Jonny Bairstow was stumped during the second Test at Lord’s after walking out of his crease believing it was the end of an over.

Rio Tinto has teamed up with the world’s largest copper producer to explore a major new tenement in Chile’s remote Atacama region as it races to meet soaring demand for a mineral that will help power the globe’s transition to renewable energy.
The mining giant will acquire Pan American Silver’s 58 per cent operating stake in Chile’s Agua de la Falda prospect for $45 million. The company will also purchase another nearby concession, Meridian Property, for $550,000.
Rio Tinto chief executive Jakob Stausholm has the miner focused on producing “future-facing” minerals like copper and nickel. Credit: Bloomberg
Both transactions are on the basis of Rio providing new smelter royalties.
The remaining 42 per cent of Agua de la Falda is controlled by state-owned Codelco, the world’s largest producer of copper, which is a key ingredient in the wind turbines, transmission lines and electric cars that will help arrest global warming and enable the world to reach its net-zero emissions goals.

“You’d just hi, then gradually start talking more, and realise you have plenty in common,” she says.
Those friendly encounters progressed to catch-ups over drinks at the resort’s stylish, state-of-the-art country club for happy hour or a barbecue.
Having time to get to know each other, as well as plenty of pleasant places to meet and mingle, has cemented the Blacks’ friendships with neighbouring couples Sue and Gordon, Patrick and Elly, and Denis, who lives next door.
“Denis puts us all to shame,” says Black. “He has an incredibly busy life helping others out, taking part in multiple activities, and going on long hikes. And he cooks the most beautiful slices. Along with Elly’s delicious Irish soda bread and cakes, we reckon we might open a bakery.”
Catch up over drinks at one of GemLife’s state-of-the-art country clubs.
A focus on fun
Friendships often flourish through GemLife’s activities, says Black. “A lot of people meet through swimming, table tennis, billiards, music or other shared interests.”
These opportunities for social connection are built into the fabric of every GemLife resort, and are just as important as the luxury facilities, says GemLife Director and CEO Adrian Puljich.
“We take great pride in providing activities and a safe environment for homeowners to be able to generate new friendships.”
Activities are diverse and stimulating, from winery tours, book clubs and excursions to see performing arts, to “a multitude of choices that challenge GemLife homeowners to stay physically and mentally healthy, without forcing anything upon them”.
“There’s nothing you can’t do [and] there’s always someone to go with,” says Black.
“There’s nothing you can’t do; take a drive, or a little decadent lunch, head to a beach or Noosa. There’s always someone to go with,” adds Black.
“You can be alone here if you want to, and I really enjoy time to myself. We don’t live in each other’s pockets. But you are never lonely.”
She confesses it can take a very sociable hour just to reach the mailbox 50 metres from her home — and those strolls can escalate into a party.
“You bump into a couple of people, and we say: ‘what a gorgeous afternoon, let’s have a lazy drink at the country club.’ Then we sit out on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake and the forest, others walk by — and before you know it you’ve got 20 people there!”
I’ll be there for you
Friendships at GemLife are not just for the good times, adds Black. From lifts or a recommendation for a dentist, to help with tech, sewing or a handyman, “you only need to ask. How fabulous to live in a place where no matter what you want, there is someone there to help.”
Sometimes, all that’s needed is a sympathetic listening ear. “A chat over a cup of tea with someone you trust. That’s what friendship’s all about, when you feel safe to talk about anything.”
Adrian Puljich says GemLife’s friendships shine brightest during life’s challenges. “In times of sadness, such as the passing of a loved one, the community really rallies. Support networks pull through collectively and help people manage grief or navigate tough times.”
Fun’s the word at GemLife’s over-50s lifestyle resorts.
Laughter, he says, really is the best medicine. “I find that people living in GemLife resorts are very optimistic. I hear lots of laughter, lots of warm, lively conversations.”
Black agrees. “People here have led fabulous, interesting lives. We have experiences and wisdom to share. But most of all, we laugh our heads off.”
Homes are now selling at GemLife resorts in country and coastal locations across Queensland, in regional Victoria and on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. For details, call 1800 317 393 or visit www.gemlife.com.au

The military power grab in Niger is stoking fears Russia and the Wagner mercenary group could use the coup to their advantage.

President Mohamed Bazoum at the presidential palace in Niamey, Niger in March. Credit: AP The US, United Nations, European Union and France have all refused to recognise the power grab, with some ending significant financial aid. Why does the coup matter for Africa’s security? Bazoum was elected in 2021. His ascendancy was Niger’s first democratic power transition since its independence from France in 1960 and four military coups that followed. Niger was one of the last countries to co-operate with the West in Africa’s Sahel, a region long plagued with instability amid rising Islamic extremist movements, insurgencies and coups.
“Niger is the latest domino to fall in a series of coups across the southern Saharan region,” Matthew Sussex, adjunct associate professor at Griffith University’s Griffith Asia Institute, told this masthead. “Russia’s Wagner group already has a strong presence in Africa, and has been implicated in supporting the overthrow of Western-friendly governments. A photo of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin purportedly appearing on the sidelines of Putin’s Russia-Africa summit last week. Credit: Twitter “This latest coup is a blow to US influence in the region - Niger had hosted US special forces and drones - as well as other players, like France.” In a corridor spanning 5600 kilometres, from Sudan on the east coast to Guinea on the west, there are now six countries in Africa under military rule, exposing a vacuum Russia has shown it is eager to fill.
The leader of the Russian mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin was quick to throw his support behind the coup, hailing it as an uprising of African people against “former colonisers ... filling these countries with terrorists and various bandit formations.” Is Wagner involved? Whether Wagner will insert itself, as it has in other coups throughout the Sahel region, remains to be seen. However, more than a month after he led a rebellion to march on Moscow, Prigozhin has indicated he was ready to increase Wagner’s presence in Africa, claiming his troops could restore order and destroy terrorist groups. La Trobe University PhD candidate Isabella Currie said that there was “no evidence to suggest that the [Niger] coup is linked to Russia’s expanding interests in Africa”.
“What we have seen are images of protesters waving Russian flags at the front of the French embassy in Niger, which is something we have previously seen in coup activity in both Mali and Burkina Faso.” Thousands of coup supporters marched through the streets of Niger’s capital at the weekend denouncing France, the country’s former colonial power. Supporters of mutinous soldiers hold a Russian flag. Credit: AP Following a Russia-Africa Summit held in St Petersburg last week, “concerns about Russia’s increasing influence in Africa are justified, but shouldn’t be overstated”, Currie said. The event was seen as Putin reinforcing Russia’s ties with the region. While Russia released a statement calling for the release of President Bazoum, images of Russian flags in the hands of pro-coup demonstrators have been seen as evidence of the Kremlin’s growing status across swaths of Africa.
Instability in Niger paves the way for even greater Russian influence in the Sahel region, where 1000 Wagner mercenaries replaced 5000 French troops that left neighbouring Mali last year. Wagner also commands a powerful presence in the Central African Republic. What’s in it for Wagner and Russia? Wagner, for example, is suspected of having diverted gold from a mine it controls in Sudan, to Moscow in 2022, the year the Kremlin ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Western analysts fear that Wagner can provide funding that evades sanctions, even as it expands Putin’s footprint in a volatile, and, until recently, overlooked region in the world. “The natural resource and mining programs that are connected to ‘private’ actors closely associated with the Putin-regime are shrouded in secrecy,” Currie said, so it’s too tenuous “at this stage to directly link resource extraction to the funding of the war effort in Ukraine”.
Yet, figures from Russia suggest a steady flow of the precious metal. Loading Despite significant sanctions put on Russia since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, “Russian gold reserves have increased substantially,” Currie said. Niger is the world’s seventh-biggest producer of uranium. Snatching a cut of mineral wealth that can be funnelled back to the war effort in Ukraine is also a likely Russian objective. So, this isn’t just about African politics?

Earlier, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke about Julian Assange after the United States’ top foreign policy official pushed back against calls to end their pursuit of the Australian.
The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday urged Australians to understand American concerns about Julian Assange’s publishing of leaked classified information.
But Albanese reiterated calls for the case against Assange to be dropped, which they have been advocating for since winning office last year.

“It’s a sign that what people have said in private, they have prepared to also say publicly,” Albanese said in response to Blinken’s comments.
The prime minister said his position hadn’t shifted since the election.
“To the American administration, this has gone on for long enough. Enough is enough,” he said.
“We remain very firm in our view and in our representations to the American government, and we will continue to do so.
Assange, an Australian citizen, published a trove of classified documents more than a decade ago and has spent more than four years in a British prison.
He is currently fighting extradition to the US to face espionage charges.

Victoria’s former anti-corruption boss has doubled down on his assertion that Premier Daniel Andrews concealed the true nature of a corruption report, as Labor MPs refuse to engage with the former judge’s suggestions for improving integrity.
Robert Redlich, the most recent commissioner of the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC), went on ABC radio on Tuesday morning to insist the premier had sought to “conceal and disguise” findings handed down in April.

Operation Daintree found the Andrews government improperly awarded a Labor-affiliated union a $1.2 million contract on the eve of the 2018 election to deliver a training program for hospital staff.
Andrews sought to downplay the report after it was tabled in parliament, insisting the report was “educational” and stressing there were no findings against anyone.

England and Australia have failed to have a traditional post-series drink after the home team locked the door to their dressing room.
An England spokesman claimed it was a “misunderstanding” and that England were “shocked” when they went to invite the Australians in and they had already left the ground.
An Australian team spokesman declined to comment, but sources close to the team, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, claimed they knocked on the England dressing room door a number of times and waited for more than an hour.
There was tension between the teams when Jonny Bairstow was stumped during the second Test at Lord’s after walking out of his crease believing it was the end of an over.
