Renault Group places its environmental and societal strategy at the heart of performance
26.04.2021: As a driver of performance and innovation, a new environmental and societal strategy is incorporated into the Renaulution strategic plan. This strategy adapts the Group's
As a driver of performance and innovation, a new environmental and societal strategy is incorporated into the Renaulution strategic plan.
This strategy adapts the Group's Purpose into an operational roadmap; it helps the company through its transformation by ramping up the ecological transition, enhancing the safety of customers on the road and employees in the workplace, and acting in favour of social inclusion.
As part of its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, Renault Group presents its first climate report* detailing its methodology for action and the means of achieving carbon neutrality in Europe as early as 2040.
With the backing of the Board of Directors, Renault Group outlined its CSR policy roadmap and the role it will play within the Renaulution strategy at the Annual General Meeting on Friday, 23 April 2021. An ambitious policy, based on the rolling out of new mechanisms, it will help the Group realise its transformation strategy and reach its performance objectives.
The policy builds on three major pillars that are deeply integrated into the company's business: the ecological transition, the safety of customers on the road and employees in the workplace, and inclusion by improving employability and having more women in the workforce.
We consider our environmental and societal responsibility as one of the chapters of Renaulution. Our commitments to reduce our carbon footprint, to the safety of people who use our vehicles and of employees in the workplace, and on inclusion meet our strategic challenges and support value creation. Developed with the company's teams, and according to our values of innovation and solidarity, this action plan is supported by a group of executive committee members and will be fully integrated into our activities. These commitments embody our Purpose while contributing to the Group's transformation.
Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault Group.
The ecological transition as an integral part of the whole value chain
In addition to commitments made on vehicle electrification, with electric vehicles accounting for 65% of sales by 2025, and 90% in 2030 for the Renault brand in Europe, the Group aims to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe in 2040 and worldwide in 2050.
Since 2005, the Group has been committed to reducing the environmental footprint of its vehicles throughout their entire life cycle and is ramping up efforts to become carbon free with measurable targets for 2025 and 2030*. New ecological transition initiatives include:
The Group commits to reducing its procurement carbon footprint by focusing efforts on six components (steel, aluminium, polymers, electronics, tires, and glass) that currently account for 90% of the procurement carbon footprint. Carbon pricing will be put in place to encourage the entire ecosystem to produce more sustainably. By 2030, the Group is aiming to reduce the carbon footprint associated with its purchases by 30% (as CO2 per kg of material).
Assembled in France with carbon free energy, the 2025 roll out of the R5 will include more sustainable batteries that boast a reduced carbon footprint of at least 20% (compared to ZOE in 2020). Beyond this one target, the Group is working to secure a responsible and sustainable supply of minerals. This parallels the partnership with Veolia and Solvay for the recycling of metals found in batteries in a closed loop (cobalt, nickel, lithium, etc.).
On the manufacturing side, the Group aims to reduce emissions from facilities by 50% worldwide (compared to 2019). To reach this target, the company will invest €20 million in its industrial facilities, thereby generating up to €90 million in savings, through reduced energy bills and avoided penalties for excess emissions. Electro-Northpole facilities will be carbon neutral by 2025, with remaining facilities in Europe following suit by 2030.
Vehicle dismantling and part recycling – including batteries – at the Re-Factory in Flins and Renault Environment subsidiaries will generate more than €1 billion in sales by 2030.
* Renault Group is currently issuing its first climate report. The report outlines the Group's ambition for carbon neutrality, with key actions and commitment milestones for 2025/2030. It applies guidelines issued by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Access to the full document here
The safety of customers on the roads and employees in the workplace
To help reduce the number of road accidents, the Group provides a clear response based on two key aspects: preventing accidents and assisting emergency services. The preventive safety program operates in three areas:
Detect: The 'Safety Score' will analyse driving data using sensors located on the vehicle to encourage safer driving.
Guide: the "Safety Coach' will process road and traffic data to inform drivers of potential risks on their route and will give real-time warnings on danger-prone areas.
Act: A fail-safe mechanism will trigger automatically in the event of a clear and present danger (a far too dangerous turn, loss of steering wheel control for a prolonged period, drowsiness, etc.). Thanks to the 'Safe Guardian', the vehicle will then slow down and return to a safe driving mode.
As of 2022, the Megane-E will come equipped with an automatic speed limit adjuster, set by default. The vehicle's top speed will also be capped at 180km/h. The speed will also be capped on Renault and Dacia models, and will not exceed 180km/h.
Lastly, to reduce emergency response time and give emergency services easy vehicle access in the event of an accident, the Group has also developed two major innovations, which will be rolled out on all future releases in Europe:
The 'Fire-fighter access' helps fire-fighters put out accidental battery fires. It considerably reduces response time (from nearly 2 hours to only a few minutes). Already a feature on electric vehicles, it will be added to all future hybrid rechargeable and electric models the Group releases.
The 'Rescue Code' is a QR code to help first responders identify a vehicle and access its structural information, and in the event of a serious accident, to reduce by roughly 15 minutes the rescue time for passenger. Renault Group has trained fire-fighters in 12 countries in Europe on how to use the code, while also donating several hundred vehicles to be used for training purposes.
The Safety Plan also includes commitments to Group employees:
An objective of zero work-related accidents and illnesses: as part of the Group's HSE policy, the Group endeavours to have zero workplace accidents and illnesses across all industrial and tertiary sites.
"Health for all": the Group's ambition is to achieve optimal health coverage for all its employees worldwide.
Raise employee risk awareness: with the Group's health officers at the helm, there are two preventive health campaigns in the works, the first of which will kick off 2021. These campaigns will focus on diseases for which being informed and aware can make all the difference: women's cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
Inclusion : employability, parity, solidarity
As vehicles become more and more electric, connected, and are fitted with on-board smart systems, new skills are required. In light of the fundamental shifts throughout the industry, the company's inclusion policy will rest upon 3 pillars: employability, parity, solidarity.
The Group is set to inaugurate a tertiary education centre dedicated to the learning of new skills in electrification, data management, analysis and cybersecurity, and the circular economy, including engineering related to the recycling of vehicles and their batteries.
The ReKnow University, initially aimed at Group employees in France, will train nearly 40% of the workforce affected by these changes by 2025. The program will gradually phase in industrial and academic partners with whom the Group pools together efforts on vocational training design and dissemination.
While Renault Group has the largest proportion of female employees compared to other vehicle manufactures, women still only account for 25% of its workforce. The Group is setting bold targets for gender balance, that will be reached through the following initiatives:
by promoting women to the key positions within the Group, in governance bodies, the top 4,000, and the top 11,000. In each of these three categories, the Group aims to have women making up 30% of its workforce by 2030, 35% by 2035, and 50% by 2050.
by upholding our position as industry leader in terms of reducing the gender pay gap, which is already close to zero at Group level and is set to hit zero around the world by 2025.
by 2025, Renault will reach gender balance among apprentices and interns, thereby creating a recruitment pipeline and ensuring future generations are familiar with the trades of the industry.
Developing inclusive mobility for all: mobility can be a primary source of inequality and a barrier to stable employment in some areas. It is an essential part in getting, keeping, or training for a job.
As such, since 2012, the Group has worked with the support of the Renault solidarity garages to foster a partnership with Pôle Emploi (French job-seekers agency) and the Adie microcredit agency to provide unemployed people – who are unable to contract a bank loan – with a new leased vehicle. The 2025 target is to increase the number of beneficiaries tenfold – from a few hundred to a few thousand – by mobilizing its network and vehicles from the Factory VO.
As part of its latest missions, the Renault Foundation and the worldwide foundation network also support initiatives that help those who have been out of stable employment find a job, by focusing their efforts on local job markets around the Group's locations and by giving employees the opportunity to be active partners in the program. To learn more about the Foundation: https://group.renault.com/groupe/la-fondation-renault/.
In an effort to incorporate the CSR strategy into the heart of the company's primary operations, a CSR Strategy Executive Committee has been created and includes representatives from the highest echelons of the Group's key functional divisions: Industry, Purchasing, Engineering, and Human Resources. All decisions will be presented to and approved by the CSR Committee of the Board of Directors, chaired by Jean-Dominique Senard, Chairman of Renault 's Board of Directors.

• Toronto FC have five wins in five all-time meetings with Colorado at BMO Field, including a 2-1 win in the second meeting a season ago.
• TFC haven't won on their last three trips to Commerce City, the teams playing to a scoreless draw last year after the Rapids won each of the two previous seasons.
• Coaches record: Paul Mariner vs. COL: first game … Oscar Pareja vs. TOR: first game
Toronto FC put together back-to-back wins for the first time in league play this season, getting the game's only goal for a win against the New England Revolution on Saturday evening at Gillette Stadium. TFC are in last place in the Eastern Conference, with 16 points from 19 games.
HIGHLIGHTS: NE 0, TOR 1
• The game's lone goal came after eight minutes. Neat buildup play between Reggie Lambe, Danny Koevermans and Luis Silva prompted a quick one-two on the edge of the penalty area between Koevermans and Silva. The return pass played Silva through into the penalty area, and the rookie made no mistake on the close-range finish.
• TFC head coach Paul Mariner made two changes to the team that got a late winner for a 3-2 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BMO Field. Doneil Henry came in at right back for Jeremy Hall, and Reggie Lambe replaced the departed Julian de Guzman.
• TORONTO FC (4-4-2): Milos Kocic - Doneil Henry, Logan Emory, Richard Eckersley, Ashtone Morgan - Reggie Lambe (Aaron Maund 69), Torsten Frings, Terry Dunfield, Luis Silva (Matt Stinson 90) - Danny Koevermans (Andrew Wiedeman 41), Ryan Johnson.
• Toronto FC have put together back-to-back wins for the first time this season in league play. TFC have just one loss in their last eight league matches, going 3-1-4 since June 20.
• "We started off 4-4-2, and then we went to 4-5-1 then later on we just had to try and stem the tide a little bit so we went back to 4-4-2," said Mariner. "New England were pressing and pressing, and had some chances. [Goalkeeper Milos Kocic] made a couple of great saves for us, but having said that, we could have had more goals on the break."
• TFC suffered a serious injury blow, though, when Danny Koevermans was forced off late in the first half with what was later found to be a torn ACL in his left knee. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
• Said Kocic: "We all devoted this win to one person. We lost a big part of our team. We played this game for him."
WATCH: Mariner discusses Koevermans injury
• Added defender Richard Eckersley: "Danny is a massive part of this squad, he's a big character on the team and we wanted to [win] for him tonight. Hopefully now this will inspire us on to get more results."
• Luis Silva has scored his first two professional goals in back-to-back games, after netting the opener three days earlier vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
• "Someone's going to have to step up and become a goal scorer for us. You know Luis [Silva] has two in two, you can see what a good player he is," said Mariner.
• Andrew Wiedeman made his debut for the club after arriving from FC Dallas in a trade for Designated Player Julian de Guzman.
• "A couple of boys thrown right into the deep end tonight, Aaron Maund and Andrew Wiedeman came in and did great shifts, so it bodes well for us," said Mariner.
• TFC kept a clean sheet for the third time this season. All three of their league victories have come by shutout. "If you look at the back four, the average age of the back four is what 21, 22 – quite remarkable. They're learning on the job and they're learning very quick. I thought the screen in front was fantastic."
• Said Kocic: "I felt like we should have stepped up a little bit more. We gave them the ball a lot and let them play a lot. They played a lot of chances. We shouldn't give so many set pieces and corners. I think that is the only thing we can improve on for next game, but otherwise I think everybody was fighting for each other."
The Colorado Rapids saw their losing skid reach three games, FC Dallas coming back for a 2-1 win Saturday evening at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 22 points from 19 games.
HIGHLIGHTS: COL 1, DAL 2
• The Rapids took the lead five minutes into the second half. Conor Casey found an unmarked Omar Cummings in all kinds of space down the right side, and he fired home from the angle, beating Kevin Hartman to the near post.
• But FCD leveled the score at 1-1 just 10 minutes later. Cleaning up a cleared corner, Fabian Castillo's speed created room for his cross into the box, which found the substitute Carlos Rodriguez at the back post.
• The winner came nine minutes from the end. A perfect ball from David Ferreira found Rodriguez on the right flank, but his cut-back was headed off the line by a retreating Drew Moor. But Castillo was there to smash home the rebound.
• Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja made one change to the side that dropped a 2-1 decision to Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field. Omar Cummings came back into the side in place of Jamie Smith.
• COLORADO RAPIDS (4-4-2): Matt Pickens - Hunter Freeman, Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Luis Zapata (Edu 85) - Brian Mullan (Tony Cascio 71), Martin Rivero, Jeff Larentowicz, Jaime Castrillon (Jamie Smith 68) - Omar Cummings, Conor Casey.
• The Rapids have suffered three losses in a row for the second time this season, matching their losing run from April 7-21.
• "In a game like tonight, it's probably a reflection of what has been happening in many of the games. We do a lot of good things, but then we don't finalize the job and then that happens," said Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja. "It is frustrating, but we cannot lose our heads. I don't want the group to lose their heads, because it's a fragile moment when you don't get results, and you've got to keep going."
• Colorado have five defeats in their six matches since June 16, all by a single goal.
• "I think the way we're representing our club on our home field is pretty damn embarrassing. We think we have something and then we come out with nothing, and it's become a trend," said goalkeeper Matt Pickens. "Now we've got to dig real deep going on the road and hopefully we get something out of these games coming up, but it doesn't get easier for us."
• Omar Cummings netted his second goal in as many matches, set up by strike partner Conor Casey. The pair started together up top for the third time in the last four games.
• "Collectively we just keep finding ways to shoot ourselves in the foot," Casey said. "We had a lot of chances in the first half again and don't finish, and when you don't finish, then it makes it a lot harder on us. It's just disappointing and we keep finding ways to not get the points."
• The Rapids have lost three games this season after opening the scoring, tied for second-most in MLS (Montréal has done it five times).
• "We just gave up another couple of bad goals. But it's the same old story, I'm tired of it, and I know these guys are tired of it," said defender Drew Moor. "We've got to put this behind us. It's not time to get frustrated. And as easy as it would be and as much as everybody wants to be frustrated, it's a big week and we've got to try to put this one behind us and learn from those mistakes that we made."

President's message / A tale of two conferences | CAUT
President's message / A tale of two conferences
By James Compton
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …"
The famous opening from Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities came to me as I rode the train to Pearson Airport this past Nov. 30. Only 45 minutes earlier I was speaking as part of a plenary panel for the fourth annual Skills and Post- Secondary Education Summit in downtown Toronto. The Conference Board of Canada event had attracted senior university administrators, post-secondary education consultants and corporate donors. I was invited to fly the CAUT flag and represent the perspective of faculty. The message I delivered was not met with much enthusiasm.
The relatively chilly reception I received from the Conference Board attendees was in stark contrast to the Education International conference I had attended only two weeks earlier in Accra, Ghana. At the 10th International Further & Higher Education & Research Conference, the values and policies espoused by CAUT were not only warmly welcomed, they were being acted upon. My recollection of Dickens' famous line, and the novel's themes of resurrection and renunciation, was an attempt to make sense of the Gestalt shift I was experiencing.
I arrived for the Conference Board summit's first day and quietly slipped into a session called "Connecting the Dots: Aligning Canada's Skills Development System to Labour Market Needs." The title should have tipped me off. Something I knew simply as education had been renamed a "skills development system." This kind of bureaucratese is, I think, what Orwell meant when he wrote, "the great enemy of clear language is insincerity."
I listened to the presentations and discerned a certain pattern. The word "disruption" was very popular. It was used in a way that communicated simultaneous concern and hopefulness. Technological change was ushering in a moment of creative destruction and it was the job of PSE administrators to seize the opportunity during uncertain economic times. It was, according to the speakers, the "season of light" and "darkness," the "spring of hope" and the "winter of despair." The basic question addressed by presenters was not: how can we improve education? But rather, how can the PSE sector adapt itself to labour market needs as defined by new technology, industry and business?
I was the first of three speakers on the day's final plenary panel on sustainable funding for PSE. I delivered a short talk describing CAUT policy and explained that we believe PSE faces a revenue problem, not a cost problem. Academic-rank salaries, measured as a percentage of total university expenditures, have been dropping, not rising in recent years. They now sit at a little over 20 per cent of total expenditures — quashing the stereotype that overpaid professors need to have their sails trimmed.
In the 1990s, state backing for PSE accounted for 80 per cent of funding, but by 2014 it had slipped to below 50 per cent. CAUT, I argued, believes the dramatic shortfall can be rectified by replacing the current Canada Social Transfer with two separate stand-alone funds for social services and PSE. The new PSE Act would be modeled on the Canada Health Act, complete with dedicated funding totaling $400 million.
The moderator exclaimed that I had made some "controversial comments" and invited people to ask questions. They did. How can the government provide more funding? That won't happen. And my favourite: "this is like believing in unicorns." The speaker then encouraged the assembly to move on to more practical matters, like how to cut costs. No one addressed the empirical evidence I presented that faculty salaries were not a burden. Instead, one frustrated speaker rose from the floor saying she wanted to make a radical suggestion: Why not treat PSE as a business? The room broke out into spontaneous applause. I responded that education should best be thought of as a public good, and not a commodity. No one applauded. That apparently was not "disruptive" enough.
It had been a different story in Ghana. Union and faculty association delegates at the Education International conference, gathered in Accra. They came from Africa, Asia, North and South America, Europe and Australia — all with a shared commitment to work collectively to combat the forces of privatization and marketization threatening university and college education. Delegates were prioritizing human needs over the functional requirements of an abstract system. Topics discussed included a review of PSE in Africa, labour precarity, and building a knowledge commons — all issues familiar to faculty association members in Canada.
There was also spontaneous applause. However, in this case, delegates were honouring the courage of Dr. Miguel Beltrán, a Colombian sociologist who spent two years in a Colombian jail on false charges that he had collaborated with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). He had arrived late after being detained by Panamanian authorities on route to Accra. Beltrán's critical scholarship on student activism and the FARC movement had put him on the wrong side of the Colombian government. His determination to defend the principle of academic freedom had made him a respected role model.
The Colombian Supreme Court repealed Beltrán's eight-year sentence Sept. 1, after a successful campaign by union activists and scholars. Three months later, as I sat on the train, the disparity between the two conferences and the principles they purported to defend could not have been clearer. I knew what kind of disruption I preferred.

Tomme d'Abondance or Abondance is a medium-sized mountain cheese from the Haute Savoie region of France in the Rhone-Alps. For centuries, this deep golden cheese has been made in mountain chalets, near the border between France and Switzerland. It is made exclusively from unpasteurised milk produced by the Abondance breed of cattle. Since 1990, the cheese has been enjoying the prestigious AOC designation. The handcrafted, wheel-shaped cheese, is made using traditional methods only in the geographical area specified by AOC/PDO label.
It has a strong smell and an intensely fruity, buttery and hazelnut flavour, with balance of acidity and sweetness, followed by a lingering aftertaste. Unearth an aroma of nutty vegetation as you slice the cheese. However, remember the crust including the grey layer beneath, should be removed before eating. Firm but supple and slightly grainy, the texture of the ivory-yellow pâté is creamy and velvety. Its rind is smooth with an amber colour showing canvas marks. The affinage takes at least 100 days, so all the subtle aromas are realized.
Abondance can be eaten straight off, or added to salads or melted in Berthoud. A very special cheese, it pairs well with Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Top 12 most despicable criminals banged up this year
Rapists, killers, axeman, thugs and child sex monsters make the gallery of evil
These criminals take evil to an unparalleled level but have been brought to justice for their despicable crimes.
The mugshots below show criminals jailed for shocking offences including child rapists, murderers, and psychopathic abusers.
Today the News looks at the criminals who have come to court on our patch and how they carried out their crimes.
1. Ian Stewart - jailed for life for murder
Driven by greed, this killer ended up burying his partner and children's author Helen Bailey in a cesspit.
Ian Stewart was jailed for life in February for murdering Helen to get his hands on her multi-million pound fortune.
Stewart buried her body, together with that of her dog Boris, in the cesspit below the garage at the couple's £1.5 million home.
He made up a fantastical story about two men whom he blamed for the murder but jurors found him guilty after a six-week trial at St Alban's Crown Court.
The prosecution said Stewart murdered Ms Bailey, "probably by suffocation", between 10.51am and 2.30pm on Monday April 11, 2016.
Stewart reported the author missing on April 15, saying she had gone away for some time to herself and had left him a handwritten note. Her body was found by police three months later.
He claimed that two men named just Joe and Nick killed and disposed of Ms Bailey's body in the cesspit in a bid to frame him.
Helen Bailey murderer Ian Stewart 'too ill' to attend court hearing where he was fined £100,000

He was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday (September 7).
The judge told Matthews he was a "vicious paedophile and violent bully" as he jailed him.
The pervert would forcibly take the victims and sexually assault or rape them, before giving them money or threatening to kill them if they told anyone.

Korean Journal of Epidemiology 2007;29(2): 146-154.
The study analyzed and categorized the colorectal cancers related medical journals published in Korea by the name of the journal, research materials, study method, statistical method and by content of study for the quality improvement of colorectal cancers related studies.
The authors reviewed a total of 567 colorectal cancer-related studies published in the Korean medical journals during the period 1967 and 2004 and kept in the National Assembly Library. The distribution of research materials, study method, statistical method and content of these studies were analyzed by the 5 year publication interval.
By study period, the number of published studies steeply increase during the period between 2000 and 2004. As the research materials, hospital patients(64.6%) and In-vitro(16.6%) were the most prevalently used research materials, but health adults were the lowest research materials by only taking up 0.4%. In study methods, patient follow up studies(28.7%) and human in vitro experimental(27.9%) were prevalent, and human in vitro experimental were relatively the most popular performed studies during the years of 1990-1994. As the statistical method, life table and survival analysis(27.0%) were the mostly performed methods, and the use of statistical method was applied in nearly all studies. The contents of the studies mainly focused on the patient prognostic estimations(27.6%) of therapeutic safety & efficacy(25.6%), but only the 4.1% of risk factors studies. Among the 109 studies which analyzed the survival term 78.9% of the studies mainly used the 5 year term in the analysis of survival rates.
The results of the study could be utilized as the basic data for the quality improvement of further colorectal cancers related studies.

And the 'wealthy' Turks deny it not to spend a single lira and give a single Tukish flower to the Armenians they have massacred. How consequential of kaba türkler ! But aren't these "wealthy" Turks a bit queer? Their 'wealth' rests on the external debt of $294.3 billion and they spend each year $51.5 billion more than they earn ... If things go on this way, soon the 'wealthy' Turks won't have an extra lira to spend on their generals , let alone Armenian or Kurdish victims of their psychopathic past.
How so ? The Aremnians were displaced from the war zone and the "Turkish children" were left at the mercy of the Russians? Why did the Turks commit no Russian genocide to save their children ?
... and you'll be assaulted and killed on the spot ... or if you are incrediblz lucky to enjoy the non-existing freedom of speech in Ataturkistan , you'll survive your foolhardy assertion for some time and will be jailed for 3 years afterwards ... What a great and generous race these Turks are! You're one of the happiest barbarian I have met, kaba türk !

Gunman posted online minutes before killing 3 at California festival
Santino William Legan, 19, urged his Instagram followers to read a book popular with white supremacists before he opened fire.
By KATHLEEN RONAYNE and JULIE WATSONAssociated Press
Police officers carry evidence bags from the family home of Gilroy Garlic Festival gunman Santino William Legan on Monday in Gilroy, Calif. The Sunday evening shooting left at least three people dead, two of them children, and about a dozen others wounded. Noah Berger/Associated Press
GILROY, Calif. — Before a 19-year-old gunman opened fire on a famed garlic festival in his California hometown, he urged his Instagram followers to read a 19th century book popular with white supremacists on extremist websites, but his motives for killing two children and another young man were still a mystery Monday.
Santino William Legan posted the caption about the book "Might is Right," which claims race determines behavior. It appeared with a photo of Smokey Bear in front of a "fire danger" sign and also complained about overcrowding towns and paving open space to make room for "hordes" of Latinos and Silicon Valley whites.
In his last Instagram post Sunday, Legan sent a photo from the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Minutes later, he shot into the crowd with an AK-47 style weapon, killing a 6-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a man in his mid-20s.
Under it, he wrote: "Ayyy garlic festival time" and "Come get wasted on overpriced" items. Legan's since-deleted Instagram account says he is Italian and Iranian.
Gunman kills 3 at California festival before police shoot him
The postings are among the first details that have emerged about Legan since authorities say he appeared to fire at random, sending people running and diving under tables. Police patrolling the event responded within a minute and killed Legan as he turned the weapon on them.
This screenshot of Santino William Legan's Instagram account shows a selfie of Legan, who opened fire with an "assault-type rifle" on Sunday at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, Calif., killing two children and another man. Instagram via AP
He legally purchased the semi-automatic assault rifle this month in Nevada, where his last address is listed. He would have been barred from buying it in California, which restricts firearms purchases to people over 21. In Nevada, the age limit is 18.
Legan grew up less than a mile from the park where the city known as the "Garlic Capital of the World" has held its three-day festival for four decades, attracting more than 100,000 people with music, food booths and cooking classes.
Authorities were looking for clues, including on social media, as to what caused the son of a prominent local family to go on a rampage. His father was a competitive runner and coach, a brother was an accomplished young boxer and his grandfather had been a supervisor in Santa Clara County.
Police said they don't know if people were targeted, but at this point it appears he shot indiscriminately. Twelve people were injured.
Police searched Legan's vehicle and the two-story Legan family home, leaving with paper bags. Authorities also searched an apartment they believed Legan used this month in remote northern Nevada. Officials didn't say what they found.

Big Mikes Gun and Ammo, which appears to be a home-based internet gun shop in Fallon, Nevada, said on its Facebook page that Legan ordered the rifle off its website and "was acting happy and showed no reasons for concern" when the store owner met him. The post said it was "heartbroken this could ever happen."
In California, police had training in how to respond to an active shooter. While they prepared for the worst, they never expected to use those skills in Gilroy, a city of about 50,000 about 80 miles southeast of San Francisco known for the pungent smell of its prize flowering crop grown in the surrounding fields – garlic.
The city had security in place for one of the largest food fairs in the U.S. It required people to pass through metal detectors and have their bags searched. Police, paramedics and firefighters were stationed throughout the festival.
But Legan didn't go through the front entrance. He cut through a fence bordering a parking lot next to a creek, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said. Some witnesses reported a second suspect, and authorities were trying to determine if he had any help.
Police arrested a 20-year-old man who claimed involvement online, but investigators determined he was just trying to get attention.
The police chief praised officers for stopping Legan with handguns without injuring anyone else.
"It could've gotten so much worse, so fast," Smithee said.
The gunfire sent people in sun hats and flip-flops running away screaming. Some dove for cover under the decorated food booth tables. Others crawled under a concert stage, where a band had started playing its last song.

The youngest victim, Stephen Romero, described by his grandmother as a kind,

happy and playful kid, had just celebrated his sixth birthday in June at Legoland in Southern California.
"My son had his whole life to live and he was only 6," his father, Alberto Romero, told San Francisco Bay Area news station KNTV after the shooting.
Also killed was 13-year-old Keyla Salazar from San Jose, seen dressed in pink, wearing a tiara of flowers and smiling as she poses with relatives in photos posted on her aunt's Facebook page.
"I have no words to describe this pain I'm feeling," Katiuska Pimentel Vargas wrote.
The oldest victim killed was Trevor Irby, 27, a biology major who graduated in 2017 from Keuka College in upstate New York.
The wounded were taken to multiple hospitals, and their conditions ranged from fair to critical, with some undergoing surgery.
Troy Towner said his sister, Wendy Towner, was at the festival for her business, the Honey Ladies, when she saw a man with a gun climb over the fence. She yelled at him: "No, you can't do that!"
The gunman shot her in the leg and her husband three times, while a young girl dragged their 3-year-old son under a table, Towner wrote on a fundraising page he set up for his sister.
Legan then approached the couple as they lay motionless on the ground and asked if they were all right. They didn't move, fearing he would finish them off, Towner wrote.
Towner said his sister underwent surgery and was expected to have long-term nerve damage, while her husband faces many surgeries.
Candice Marquez, who works for Wendy Towner and her husband, Francisco, told The Associated Press that she had stepped away to go to the bathroom and saw the gunman heading to their tent. She said her 10-year-old niece helped the toddler to safety.
"She was brave," Marquez said.
Jan Dickson, a neighbor who lives across the street from the Legan family, described them as "a nice, normal family." She said Santino Legan had not lived there for at least a year.
"How do you cope with this? They have to deal with the fact that their son did this terrible thing and that he died," Dickson said.
Watson reported from San Diego. Associated Press reporter Mike Balsamo in Washington, Scott Sonner in Hawthorne, Nev., Ken Ritter in Las Vegas and Martha Mendoza in Gilroy contributed to this report.

Samuel Robert Cassius – Early Oklahoma's Eloquent Black Prophet
Brilliant black clergyman, farmer, businessman, civil magistrate, author, and Oklahoma pioneer Samuel R. Cassius, born a slave in Virginia, migrated around 1890 to future Logan County, before the age of forty. When he departed over thirty years later, he left a regional and national legacy as a leading African-American in the famed Restoration Christian movement. He dared to challenge white Christians on their racism and blacks on both their religious orthodoxy and orthopraxy. He stirred controversy aplenty from all quarters, sustained by the conviction that the very words that angered folks could stir them to greater faithfulness as Americans, followers of Christ, and human beings.
According to Cassius, two key factors spurred African-American initiative and hopes in 1890s Oklahoma Territory, which formed roughly the western half of present-day Oklahoma. He cited the first of these as the belief of many African-Americans that the U.S. government would reserve land (probably the Unassigned Lands opened in the 1889 Land Run) for blacks that was forfeited to it by defeated pro-Confederate tribes. This widely held belief—yearned for by African-Americans, but feared by whites—held that Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory adjacent to it on the east would birth an all-black, or at least strongly black-influenced state.
"When the colored people heard this report," Cassius recalled, "they all started to Oklahoma, some walking, some on the train, some in oxcarts and some in wagons. No thought was given to money. In fact, the most of them had no money to think of; all they wanted was to get there."

The second factor Cassius suggested, as explained in Edward J. Robinson's book To Life Up My Race: The Essential Writings of Samuel Robert Cassius, involved the exalted claims of African-Americans who won land during the first run and declared it "only a day's walk to the original Garden of Eden." It teemed with game, so the story went, such as "wild turkeys and deer . . . so plentiful that a man had to carry a Winchester and a large club when he went out hunting, the club to be used in beating the deer and turkeys back while he loaded his gun."
The Black Man in Oklahoma, 1896
You kin talk about your cities with their steeples in the skies,
Their nice paved streets and their business enterprise;
We ain't got no sidewalks, and there's nothing here to see,
But the little town of Boley is plenty big enough for me.
—Samuel Robert Cassius
The notable entry into Oklahoma of Edward P. McCabe, a black man who possessed enormous charisma and energy and had held statewide elected office in Kansas, heightened the climate of anticipation. This only escalated as McCabe tirelessly promoted African-American migration to Oklahoma. He also helped found the all-black town of Langston, near Guthrie, in 1891, as well as a "colored" college of the same name in 1897.

Social, economic, and political opportunities in the Twin Territories, fostered by dauntless visionaries like Cassius and McCabe, appeared bright for African-Americans throughout the 1890s and well into the 1900s due to their own energy and ambition, along with their alliance with the white-dominated Republican Party. Subsequent progress would, however, prove a hard road for black Oklahomans to travel—more so, ironically, following statehood in 1907. Nonetheless, they founded scores of successful businesses, including newspapers, movie theaters, banks, restaurants, salvage yards, and hospitals. Also, according to historian Jimmie Franklin, sourcing the U.S. Bureau of the Census regarding the 1910 census, African-Americans owned more than 1.5 million acres of land in future Oklahoma by 1905.
Samuel Robert Cassius - teacher, philosopher, and theologian
By the time Samuel R. Cassius departed Oklahoma in the early 1920s, he had left an enduring mark on the state's history, and thousands of blacks were crafting rewarding lives for themselves and their families, despite the unconstitutional and unchristian oppression of societal racism.
"The negro may look awful bad after he has wrestled with a cyclone, or had a tussle with a blizzard, but when he looms up in a cotton patch he is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. A bay steer in a fodder stack would not inspire the lover of art with more reverence than would the average colored farmer standing amid the white sea of cotton. It has long been conceded that Oklahoma was made for the colored man, and the colored man for Oklahoma. Here it is he will demonstrate to the world his fitness for an equal show with the dominant race. Already he has assumed the responsibility of making Oklahoma the most prosperous land in America, for without a dollar or team, hoe, plow, or in fact anything but his wife, children and dogs, he has snatched this country out of the jaws of famine and the hand of ruin by raising over three million dollars' worth of cotton."

"It's great to be back… Cape Town is home and I'm enjoying myself. The players have been good to me and the coach (Roger de Sa) as well. I'm grateful for this opportunity," says Mayambela, who recently joined Ajax after being released by SuperSport United late last season.
The former Bucs maestro will be looking to showcase the skills that earned him the nickname 'Professor', but maintains the team's success is his priority.
Mayambela hopes his arrival at Ikamva and that of fellow winger Lebohang 'Cheeseboy' Mokoena can extend the club's fanbase.
"We all know that people from the townships always see Ajax as a team not for them. So at least now with the signing of me and Cheeseboy it will change that perception of Ajax and people will come to the games hopefully… come and support in numbers even if we play against small teams," adds Mayambela.
The Urban Warriors will host Pirates in an Absa Premiership tie at Cape Town Stadium (19h30 kick-off).

Brandy says she's recovering after reports of hospitalisation due to "possible seizure"
Brandy has updated fans on her health following reports the singer had been hospitalised after potentially suffering a seizure.
Earlier this week, TMZ reported that Brandy was recovering in a Los Angeles hospital, writing that law enforcement had gotten an EMS call to the singer's home around noon on Tuesday (October 11). According to "sources with direct knowledge", it's believed she had suffered a seizure.
Now, Brandy has shared a direct update about her health. Addressing her "beloved fans, friends and starz" in a statement shared to her social media on Wednesday (October 12), she thanked supporters for sending "love and light" her way.
"I am following doctors' orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition," she continued. "Thank you for your prayers and support. Grateful for you all, see you soon."

The bill opens the door for private clinics to charge people out-of-pocket to perform MRIs and CT scans; however, it also allows for private clinics to perform and charge for other prescribed medical imaging services, such as x-rays and ultrasounds.
Chartier added that she has concerns around patient safety, noting that many private MRI clinics use out-of-province doctors to read scans, so the proper physician consultation isn't always happening. She further noted that the Ontario Provincial Auditor raised concerns that governments aren't always properly monitoring how private clinics refer patients for MRI services, which poses the risk of clogging up the system with unnecessary scans.

Air Force hits recruiting goals with 33,000 new airmen
By: Stephen Losey October 15, 2017
The Air Force recruited nearly 33,000 new airmen in fiscal 2017, one of the highest years since the Vietnam era. In this photo, Col. Robert Borja, 369th Recruiting Group commander, administers the oath of enlistment to more than 60 Delayed Entry Program members in Austin, Texas, in August 2013. (Staff Sgt. Hillary Stonemetz/Air Force)
The Air Force recruited 33,071 new airmen in fiscal 2017 — a slight drop from the previous year's recruiting bonanza, but still far above other recent years.
The Air Force Recruiting Service on Oct. 6 announced that the service had met its recruitment goals and helped grow the service's end strength to 322,500.
On Friday, AFRS said that the 2017 recruiting drive brought in 31,001 newly enlisted airmen, 295 who were previously enlisted, 1,201 new Line of the Air Force officers, 529 health professionals, and 45 chaplains.
"Once again, our Air Force recruiters rallied to change the vector of the Air Force, growing our family and positively changing the lives of 33,000 young people and starting them on the greatest adventure of their lives," AFRS commander Maj. Gen. Garrett Harencak said in the Oct. 6 release.
The Air Force brought in 33,645 new recruits in fiscal 2016, which was the highest recruitment since the Vietnam era, and smashed through that year's original goal of 28,000.
Air Force recruits most new airmen since Vietnam
The Air Force brought on more than 33,000 new airmen in fiscal 2016, including enlisted, officers, chaplains and health professionals, the most since the Vietnam era.
By: Stephen Losey
In fiscal 2015, the Air Force recruited 24,137 airmen.
The recruiting boom is being driven by the Air Force's need to rebuild the force after years of manning declines ― particularly in 2014, when nearly 20,000 airmen were cut as part of a major drawdown.
Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson has repeatedly expressed concern about the service's undermanning.
"We are a service that is too small for what's being asked of us," Wilson said in an Aug. 31 editorial board meeting with Air Force Times.

Manchester United's most pressing issue is a pressing issue
Ralf Rangnick's first five league matches in charge at Old Trafford paint a picture of a team still finding its way under its new manager
There were more than a few concerning post-match comments in the aftermath of 曼联's first defeat of the Ralf Rangnick era, not least from Rangnick himself. The interim successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refused to promise that he would still salvage this season and deliver a top four finish because, 好, how could he?
"I cannot make any guarantees," Rangnick said. "Look at today's performance: if I say we are 10 per cent convinced we will finish in the top four, I don't know if people will believe that. It is about taking the next steps and getting better. I knew this could be hard. I knew it would be difficult. That's the reason why they brought me."
One of his players was no less forthright. Luke Shaw is a commendably honest and candid speaker, and his suggestion that the United players were not especially united was striking. "I didn't feel when I was on the pitch that we were all there together. I think we felt like we were struggling and it was tough."
But just as alarming from both of those admissions was another from Rangnick, 尽管, who said that United had failed to do the one thing we were told to expect from a Rangnick team. "We didn't press at all," he conceded. "We tried but we were not able to get into those pressing situations."
This much was evident from just watching the first half hour against Wolves, which was about as far removed as possible from the first half hour against Crystal Palace a month earlier, for Rangnick's first game in charge.

That day, United were hassling and harrying their opponents right from the whistle, getting themselves first to the ball time and again. A delighted Rangnick declared himself "positively surprised" by how quickly they had adapted to his gegenpressing style. Yet against Wolves, it was as if that had all been forgotten.
United's pressing levels have fluctuated over the course of Rangnick's first five league matches, painting a picture of a team still finding its way under its new manager.
Measuring the number of passes that a team allows their opponents to make before attempting to win the ball back – or passes per defensive action (PPDA) – is a rough way of estimating the intensity of that team's pressing. The lower the number, the quicker they attempt to win the ball back, and therefore the more intense their press is.
In Rangnick's first game, United allowed Palace to make seven passes before trying to win the ball back – a low figure, in line with the likes of Leeds and Liverpool. United's press was largely operating at the same level in the narrow win at Norwich and last week's disappointing draw against Newcastle. Winning the ball back was not the problem at St James' Park, it was retaining it.
In all three of those games, United had a more intense press than they had averaged under Solskjaer earlier in the season. But in the last two outings, that has changed.

(环保署)
Against Wolves, United allowed 14 passes before attempting to win the ball back, in line with the Premier League's least intense presses at Everton, Newcastle and at Wolves themselves. United were even more passive against Burnley, allowing around 20 passes to be made before attempting to win the ball back. This is not what we were told to expect upon Rangnick's appointment.
Other pressing metrics are more sympathetic. According to FBref, the number of attempted pressures against Wolves was largely in line with previous games under Rangnick but – as Rangnick himself explained – the problem was not a lack of willing, it was a lack of success. Less than a quarter of United's pressures against Wolves resulted in them winning the ball back, one of the lowest success rates of the season.
Why this drop-off, 然后? There are plenty of factors to bear in mind when analysing what is still a terribly small sample of data. The Burnley figures, 特别是, will be affected by the fact that United went 3-0 ahead inside the first 35 分钟. The game was wrapped up early. In that context, it is perhaps unsurprising that United's play out of possession lacked urgency.
It is still striking, 尽管, that the key tenet of Rangnick's tactical game plan is not yet shining through on the pitch, and certainly not with any consistency.
Luke Shaw says Manchester United were not 'together' in Wolves defeat
United's interim manager has several valid reasons he can point to in mitigation. This was still only his sixth game in charge and only the fifth with a first-choice starting line-up. United have not only been contending with the congested Christmas schedule, which reduces training time to the bare minimum, but also a Covid-19 outbreak which shut down first team operations at Carrington for a significant stretch of time.
He has had even less of an opportunity to work with his players on his tactical vision than if he was just a regular interim manager, arriving at a regular point in the fixture schedule, in regular times without a pandemic happening.
There is also the point that this is just what a rebuild looks like. Any expectations of an immediate turnaround in fortunes were always unrealistic. Though Solskjaer's departure was absolutely necessary, he was far from the only problem at a club that, despite being one of the richest and best-resourced in the world, has not put together a serious, sustained title challenge for the best part of eight years.
These things take time. With the best part of two weeks until his next Premier League engagement, Rangnick finally has an opportunity to drill the fundamentals of his philosophy into his players on the training ground and make them look like a Rangnick team. What the past week has proven, 尽管, is that United's adaptation to his methods has not been immediate as was first hoped.
