Report: LIV draft contract has restrictions and major bonus
Robert Walters, front, attorney representing three LIV Golf players, leaves a federal courthouse in San Jose, Calif., Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022. The Journal said it reviewed a draft contract that LIV Golf has offered players, noting it was unclear if terms in the draft are in all contracts or can be negotiated. It also says LIV golfers can play anywhere in the world provided it isn't the same week as a LIV Golf event. Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland missed the Irish Open this year because it was the same week as LIV Golf Invitational-Portland. On the PGA Tour, players typically are granted three conflicting event releases provided they fulfill their obligations to play 15 times a season on the PGA Tour.

Man City star Benjamin Mendy arrives for second day of his rape trial
Manchester City star Benjamin Mendy tried to rape a woman after she got out of a shower at his mansion, a court was told today. He denies charges of eight counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault. Mendy, the woman and others went into Manchester and later she spent the night at Mendy's home, with another man. The woman and others had been to a bar in Alderley Edge, Cheshire and then on to Mendy's house. We say Mendy's house is part and parcel of how the defendants gained control of the victims.

I like doing things with himand with his daughter, but not when they’re together because it’s always them against us. Dear Abby: Last year a friend of mine had a baby shower, which I attended, and I bought her an expensivegift. Honestly, I’m happy for her, but she’s having another baby shower. And in Ireland, Russia and Japan, it’s considered bad luckto have a baby shower before the baby arrives.

The Skin Nerd: Feel confident and achieve 'skintentment' with these hacks
As someone who strives to empower hoomans to become more confident in their skin, this truly is music to my ears. Studies have proven that over 80% of skin ageing can be attributed to the sun’s rays. Containing retinyl palmitate, the gentler, fattier derivative of vitamin A, Skin Protein boosts skin renewal at cellular level whilst helping you avoid side effects of more potent retinoids. Pro-ageing skincare ingredients such as vitamin A can have a tightening effect on mild skin laxity, but professional skin treatments might give better results when treating moderate skin sagging. Micro-needling treatment is fabulous for combating skin sagging.

Myths about 'harms' of renewable energy only serve the fossil fuel industry
The misguided belief that ‘it’s too late’ to act has been co-opted by fossil fuel interests and those advocating for them. One tactic is to push the idea that renewable energy will damage the environment. Threat to jobsAnother scare tactic is to suggest that renewable energy will take away jobs. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) stated there were twelve million jobs in renewable energy in 2020 — this compares to a dying coal industry with jobs disappearing because of increased automation as well as competition from cheaper energy sources. The solution to a fossil fuel problem cannot be a fossil fuel.

Herald: Has the Goa Civil Supplies director been made a scapegoat in the tur dal fiasco?
17 Aug 2022| 07:10am ISTHas the Goa Civil Supplies director been made a scapegoat in the tur dal fiasco? While the then Civil Supplies director Siddhivinayak Naik has been suspended based on a hurried preliminary inquiry, the then Civil Supplies Minister Govind Gaude has been surprisingly kept out of the ambit of inquiry and questioning. Firstly the State Cabinet’s (and not any officers) decision to procure tur dal in bulk to distribute to Goan ration card holders during the Covid-19 crisis was ill-conceived since tur dal is not a part of the staple diet of Goans. The Tur dal controversy: Look backThe tur dal was purchased as per the prevailing rate of Rs 79 per metric tonnes and was to be distributed to fair price shops across the State at one kg per ration card holder at Rs 83 per kg (including transportation and FPS dealer profit margin) i.e. But the company was not given the bid due to alleged political interference and the tur dal continued to rot in the godowns.

HMRC hikes interest rate charged on unpaid tax to 4.25%
HMRC is hiking interest rates on unpaid tax to a 13-year high of 4.25 per cent— six times the rate paid on money it owes. This is a 1.5 percentage point increase since the start of 2022, when its late-payment fee was 2.75 per cent. Experts warn bills could spiral out of control if taxpayers do not get on top of outstanding bills. Fee grab: HMRC is hiking interest rates on unpaid tax to a 13-year high of 4.25% -a 1.5% increase since the start of 2022, when its late payment fee was 2.75%It comes after the Bank of England raised the base rate from 1.25 per cent to 1.75 per cent — the largest single jump in 27 years. HM Revenue & Customs also raised the rate it pays on repayments — up 0.25 per cent to 0.75 per cent, which is far less generous.

Conservative leadership hopefuls visit Northern Ireland
The two contenders in the race to become the next leader of the Conservative Party and prime minister are due in Northern Ireland later. On Tuesday evening, they were both challenged by Ulster Unionist Party leader Doug Beattie to set out their positions on the Northern Ireland Protocol. He said the post-Brexit arrangements “need to be dealt with once and for all because it continues to damage the Belfast Agreement and places a border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom”. Ms Truss and Mr Sunak will address Conservative Party members in Northern Ireland who will cast their vote to select the next leader, who is set to be announced on September 5. There are estimated to be around 600 Conservative Party members in Northern Ireland.
