FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Europe is struggling to contain an energy crisis that could lead to rolling blackouts, shuttered factories and a deep recession.
The primary cause: Russia has choked off the supplies of cheap natural gas that the continent depended on for years to run factories, generate electricity and heat homes. That has pushed European governments into a desperate scramble for new supplies and for ways to blunt the impact as economic growth slows and household utility bills rise.
The crisis deepened when Russia’s state-owned exporter Gazprom said the main pipeline carrying gas to Germany would stay closed, blaming an oil leak and claiming the problems could not be fixed because of sanctions barring many dealings with Russia.
European officials say it’s energy blackmail, aimed at pressuring and dividing the European Union as it supports Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.
Here is the latest on Europe’s efforts to avoid an energy disaster:
DID RUSSIA CUT OFF GAS TO EUROPE?
Just about. The halt in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline means Russian gas shipments have fallen 89% from a year ago. Russia used to supply 40% of Europe’s natural gas, and even more to Germany, where inexpensive energy was a pillar of the economy.
There’s still some Russian gas flowing to Europe through a pipeline passing through Ukraine into Slovakia, and another crossing the Black Sea to Turkey and then to EU member Bulgaria. Russia started cutting back gas as early as last summer, before the war in Ukraine started. That sent gas prices sharply higher.
Then Gazprom cut off a number of European countries after they responded to the outbreak of the war by banning many dealings with Russian banks, businesses and persons.
The reductions have led to soaring natural gas prices, which have hit records in the past few weeks. Given Russia’s slow constriction of supplies since last summer, experts say Europe needs to be ready for zero Russian gas this winter.
WHY IS RUSSIAN GAS SO IMPORTANT?
High energy prices are already threatening to cause a recession this winter through record inflation, with consumers having less to spend as costs rise for food, fuel and utilities. A complete cutoff could deal an even heavier blow to an already troubled economy.
Besides heating homes and generating electricity, gas is used to fire a range of industrial processes that most people never think much about — forging steel to go into cars, making glass bottles and pasteurizing milk and cheese.
Companies warn that they often can’t switch overnight to other energy sources such as fuel oil or electricity to produce heat. And, with everyone searching for alternate supplies, fuel oil and coal have also risen in price.
In some cases, equipment that holds molten metal or glass is ruined if the heat is turned off, and over the longer term, energy-intensive businesses may simply give up on Europe.
IS THE PROBLEM JUST ABOUT HIGH NATURAL GAS PRICES?
No. Electricity prices also have skyrocketed because gas is a key fuel to generate power. To make matters worse, other sources of power have lagged for reasons not connected to Russia.
Drought has undermined hydroelectric power from rivers and reservoirs. France’s fleet of 56 nuclear power plants is running at half-strength because of shutdowns over corrosion problems in key pipes and repairs, updating and safety checks. A heat wave limited use of river water for cooling power plants, and lower water levels on Germany’s Rhine River reduced supplies of coal to generators.
In a role reversal, France is talking about sending natural gas to Germany, while Germany is exporting electricity to France. Usually it’s the other way around.
Analysts at Rystad Energy say Europe could face a serious electricity shortage as soon as this month. This winter, a worst case of cold weather, low wind generation and a 15% cut in gas use “would prove very challenging for the European power system, and could lead to power rationing and blackouts.”
“Regardless of the exact scenario, the coming winter is certain to be the most challenging Europe has seen in decades — and consumers or governments are expected to pay the price,” said Carlos Torres-Diaz, head of power at Rystad Energy. “If gas demand needs to be cut, we expect to see power supply issues emerging this month and worsening into 2023.”
WHAT IS EUROPE DOING TO EASE THE CRISIS?
Europe has lined up all the alternative gas supplies it could: shipments of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, that come by ship from the United States and more pipeline gas from Norway and Azerbaijan. LNG is much more expensive than pipeline gas, however.
Germany is keeping coal plants in operation that it was going to shutter to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also is keeping the option of reactivating two nuclear plants it’s set to shut down.
The 27-nation EU has approved a plan to reduce gas use by 15% by next March, roughly the amount experts say will need to make up for the loss of Russian gas. Yet those conservation measures are voluntary in member countries for now.
National governments have approved a raft of measures: bailouts for utilities forced to pay exorbitant prices for Russian gas, cash for hard-hit households and tax breaks.
For example, Germany has approved a third support package with 65 billion euros ($64.3 billion) in aid for consumers. That kind of spending will add to national deficits but also soften the downturn that economists are predicting for the end of this year and beginning of next year.
More steps are coming. The president of the EU’s executive Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, says a new proposal will include a price cap on natural gas and measures that could decouple the price of electricity from gas.
Perhaps most important in the short term, Europe has managed to fill 82% of its storage for winter with the help of LNG and diminished consumption because of high prices. Storage levels have kept rising even after the Nord Stream 1 cutoff.
Partly as result, gas prices have fallen to their pre-cutoff level, although they are still painfully high.
WHAT’S RUSSIA’S GAME?
Even as gas sales dwindled, skyrocketing prices helped maintain Russia’s income from those sales. Oil and gas imports were initially exempt from sanctions because Europe was dependent on Russian energy. Europe has banned Russian coal and will ban most Russian oil at the end of the year.
Russia’s revenue from fossil fuel exports reached 158 billion euros from February to August, according to the Helsinki-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
But oil has tended to be the Kremlin’s main moneymaker, and unlike gas in fixed pipelines to Europe, can be sold worldwide by tanker. And the gas relationship with Europe may be gone for good — and with it, any influence it might have brought.
“The gas flows from Europe no longer play a role in my calculations,” German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck said. “The only reliable thing from Russia are lies.”
So if Russian President Vladimir Putin thinks he has any leverage from gas, time is running out for him to use it.
“Russia has lost nothing now that it hadn’t lost already … this winter is the last chance to use the gas weapon, successfully or not,” tweeted Janis Kluge, an expert on the Russian economy at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao Technology Limited ("Senmiao" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AIHS), a financing and servicing company focused on the online ride-hailing industry in China, as well as an operator of its own online ride-hailing platform, today announced the operating metrics for its proprietary online ride-hailing platform for the month of August 2022. In August 2022, Senmiao and its affiliates reported over 1.0 million total completed orders, a 4.5% increase from over 0.97 million total orders completed in July 2022.
Numbers reported since August 2021 include the number of completed orders from Meituan's ride-hailing platform ("the Major Platform") utilizing Senmiao's network of cars and drivers for a set monthly fee. Numbers reported since April 2022 include the number of completed orders from three other ride-hailing platforms in Chengdu, Xiehua, Anma and Xiaoma, under the same cooperation model as Meituan.
Since the launch of Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform in October 2020, approximately 18.9 million rides have been completed using its platform. Over 4.8 million rides have been completed on the Major Platform under Senmiao's partnership with Meituan. Over 784,000 rides have been completed on Xiehua, Anma and Xiaoma since April 2022. The number of drivers completing rides via the platforms (known as Active Drivers) in August 2022 was 6,778, up approximately 14.3% from 5,928 in July 2022.
The table below presents approximate unaudited operating metrics of Senmiao and its affiliates' online ride-hailing platform since its launch in October 2020.
1 Under the old model, a rider can search for taxi/ride-hailing services on a Senmiao partner's platform, which then provides the rider with options for online ride-sharing service providers, including Senmiao. If the rider selects Senmiao, the order will then be distributed to registered drivers on Senmiao's platform for viewing and acceptance. Senmiao earns commissions for each completed order based on a certain percentage of the value of the order.
2 Under the new model, online ride-hailing requests and orders will be completed on the partner's platform utilizing Senmiao and its affiliates' network of cars and drivers for a set monthly fee. Starting from April 2022, the number includes orders completed on the Xiehua, Anma and Xiaoma platforms, in addition to those completed on the Major Platform since August 2021.

Headquartered in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Senmiao provides automobile transaction and related services including sales of automobiles, facilitation and services for automobile purchases and financing, management, operating leases, guarantees and other automobile transaction services, as well as operates its own ride-hailing platform aimed principally at the growing online ride-hailing market in Senmiao's areas of operation in China.

Esteemed oncologist to advise on imaging efforts
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Imaging Endpoints (IE) announced today that Dr. Antonio Fojo was chosen to join their Scientific Advisory Board, a global group of leading medical professionals appointed to provide strategic insight and imaging-related expertise for optimizing the opportunity to demonstrate efficacy in clinical trials.
Dr. Fojo is currently a professor of medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the co-director of the Carling Adrenal Surgery Center, the world's largest endocrine surgery center. Known for his research toward reversing cancer chemotherapy resistance, Dr. Fojo's work in tumor growth kinetics (TGK) has been instrumental in advancing the field. His work has shown how a drug's anticancer properties are better demonstrated by tumor growth rate and fraction of tumor killed (as compared to indirect measures such as response rate or progression-free survival).

Future plant in Valdosta, Georgia will provide additional manufacturing capacity nationwide
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GAF, a Standard Industries company and North America's largest roofing and waterproofing manufacturer, today announced a commitment to build a new manufacturing plant in Valdosta, Georgia to support its commercial roofing operations.
GAF is bringing in 135 jobs to Lowndes County over the next six years, adding to its Georgia operations in Savannah, Statesboro and Cumming that collectively employ 225 residents. GAF has signed an agreement to purchase 130 acres of land for the future home of a plant that will expand the company's thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing manufacturing. Construction is expected to begin this fall with full production of the company's EverGuard™ line of products to commence in the first quarter of 2024.
"GAF is committed to ensuring that our commercial roofing customers receive the highest quality service and adding another manufacturing plant in Georgia will help ensure that our customers get the GAF products they need as quickly and efficiently as possible," said Jim Schnepper, CEO of GAF. "We're a proud employer in the state of Georgia, Lowndes County and the city of Valdosta and are excited to continue our investment in the region to help drive economic development and bring more opportunities to residents."
TPO is a single-ply roofing membrane that offers excellent performance at a cost-effective price. TPO is one of the most popular products for low-slope roofing, with over 2 billion square feet installed annually for their great value and strength. TPO's long-term heat and UV resistance, plus flexibility without need for plasticizers also make TPO a reliable low-slope roofing system. GAF's EverGuard TPO products are proven to stand the test of time – a study of twenty GAF TPO roofs installed between 8 and 16 years ago found that the membranes performed above ASTM standards for newly manufactured TPO in most instances.
"We're excited to take this next step in expanding our manufacturing capacity, which is critical to continue delivering our best-in-class service and becoming a leader in the commercial roofing industry," said John Altmeyer, Executive Chairman, GAF Commercial Roofing. "Valdosta is a great location for us to continue TPO production and we're looking forward to establishing GAF as a committed member of this community."
The company chose Valdosta because of its ideal location relative to other GAF operations, vicinity to major highways and railways and pool of talented workforce across the region. The city and its residents bring a wealth of experience and capabilities in the manufacturing sector that will benefit both the region and GAF's operations.
"We are dedicated to creating a more innovative future for Georgians," said Valdosta Mayor Scott James Matheson. "GAF is a great partner and addition to our community, creating new opportunities for residents and the region for years to come. We deeply appreciate the collaboration from Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority and Georgia Power on bringing GAF to Valdosta."
This new plant will join the company's four existing TPO operations in New Columbia, Pennsylvania; Mount Vernon, Indiana; Gainesville, Texas; and Cedar City, Utah.
GAF, a Standard Industries company, is the leading roofing and waterproofing manufacturer in North America. For more than 135 years, GAF has been trusted to protect what matters most for families, communities and business owners with its innovative solutions and focus on customer service. GAF's leadership extends to its commitment to making a positive impact on its communities, industry, and planet. Learn more at www.GAF.com.

Sault-based group says it wants to dispel myths about trappers
The Ontario Fur Managers Federation is looking to increase public knowledge about the work done by trappers.
An awareness campaign featuring a new billboard on Trunk Road in Sault Ste. Marie is proof of their efforts.
Lauren Tonelli, the Federation’s general manager, said they want people to know about the importance of managing wildlife populations through trapping.
“We’re the ones out there monitoring those populations," Tonelli said.
"We want to make sure future generations of trappers have healthy, sustainable populations to trap, as well.”
The campaign also seeks to dispel what the federation calls "misinformation" being spread by animal rights activists.
But Liz White, director of the Animal Alliance of Canada, said trapping has nothing to do with managing populations.
"Populations are quite OK at managing themselves,” said White, whose group strongly opposes trapping.
She also claimed trappers use “inhumane methods”
“When you look at the number of animals who chew their paws off so they can escape the traps and you know that trap lines are very long and often people can not get there within 24 hours,” White said.
In response, the Fur Managers Federation maintains the traps used are rigorously tested and don't kill animals inhumanely.
Tonelli said any trappers who do bring a bad name to the industry should be caught by law enforcement.
“That’s a legal obligation of the trapper to make sure that all of their traps are checked if they’re live traps within 24 hours," she said.
"Trappers want to make sure they’re collecting those furs as soon as possible to make sure they’re at their highest quality. No trapper wants to see an animal left in a trap.”

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia resumed shelling near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, a local official said Wednesday, a day after the U.N. atomic watchdog agency pressed for the warring sides to carve out a safe zone there to prevent a catastrophe.
The city of Nikopol, on the opposite bank of the Dnieper River from Europe’s largest nuclear plant, was fired on with rockets and heavy artillery, regional Gov. Valentyn Reznichenko said. The report could not independently verified.
“There are fires, blackouts and other things at the (plant) that force us to prepare the local population for the consequences of the nuclear danger,” Reznichenko said. Officials in recent days have distributed iodine pills to residents to help protect them in the event of a radiation leak.
The fighting going on around the plant has caused international alarm.
The head of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, warned the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday that “something very, very catastrophic could take place” at Zaporizhzhia. The IAEA urged Russia and Ukraine to establish a “nuclear safety and security protection zone” around the plant.
The fear is that the fighting could trigger a disaster on the scale of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986.
Neither Moscow nor Kiev officials would immediately commit to the idea of a safety zone, saying more details of the proposal were needed.
Because of damage from the fighting, the plant is generating electricity only to power its safety systems, a senior Ukrainian official said. The plant normally relies on external power to run the systems that keep the reactor cores cool and prevent them from melting down.
Any further disruption of power could force the plant to use back-up diesel generators, but that would entail bringing four diesel trucks a day through the fighting, said Oleh Korikov, Ukraine’s acting chief inspector for nuclear and radiation safety.
“We could potentially be in a situation where we run out of diesel,” he said. “And this can lead to an accident with damage to the active zone of the reactors and, accordingly, the release of radioactive products into the environment.”
The plant also had to activate its diesel generators late last month because of damage, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Authorities could consider shutting down the plant, Korikov said, without offering details about how that would work.
The plant’s operator, Energoatom, said that despite the shelling, Ukrainian staff still working at the Russian-occupied plant will try in the coming days to restore the supply of external power through at least one of the seven outside lines.
In other developments, Russian President Vladimir Putin defied pressure to halt the war, saying Moscow will forge ahead with its offensive in Ukraine until it achieves its goals. He mocked Western attempts to stop Russia with sanctions.
Heavy fighting was reported on three fronts: in the north, near the city of Kharkiv; in the east, in the industrial Donbas region of mines and factories; and in the south, in the Kherson region, where Ukraine has mounted a counteroffensive to try to retake territory seized by the Russians early in the war.
Ukrainian forces have taken control of an unspecified number of towns in the Kherson region, military spokesperson Nataliya Humenyuk said.
The eastern city of Sloviansk came under Russian fire on Wednesday morning, and a school and another building were damaged, according to the head of the city administration, Vadym Lyakh.
Firefighters dug deep into the smoldering rubble of an apartment building and removed at least one body. Chunks of bricks, masonry and concrete lay among torn tree branches, broken glass and roof tiles. Metal doors, buckled by the force of the blast, hung off their hinges.
The strike came at around 4 a.m., said resident Raisa Smelkova, 75, who lives in another part of the building. She and her husband were unhurt. The couple lived through the fighting in Ukraine in 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimea region.
“What is happening now is not just scary, it’s gruesome,” she said. “There is more destruction. Everything is worse. Just everything.”
The Russian military held large-scale military drills that began last week and ended Wednesday in the country’s east that involved forces from China. It was seen as another show of increasingly close ties between Moscow and Beijing amid tensions with the West over the war.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the next big incoming PlayStation 5 exclusive title, following God of War Ragnarok. The game was announced last year at the PlayStation Showcase with a 2023 release date. However, we haven’t seen or heard much since then, though this is expected to change “soon.”
Millie Amand, a PlayStation insider who has previously leaked many games and updates, tweeted some information regarding Spider-Man 2 development.
According to the leaker, Insomniac Games is preparing to show off Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gameplay. Millie Amand stated that Spider-Man 2 is “exceeding expectations” at Marvel Games.
Marvel employees praised the game’s “striking fluidity” and “visual punch.” The new game appears so unique that employees assumed they saw a cutscene. Amand didn’t mention much else about when this gameplay reveal for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 would happen.
On the other hand, recent rumors claim that a PlayStation Showcase is planned for later this month. And Marvel’s Spider-Man is expected to appear at the event. It should be noted that the Disney x Marvel Games Showcase will take place on September 9. So we can expect to see Spider-Man 2 in action at these events.
We’ve heard a lot about the Spider-Man franchise lately. Marvel’s Spider-Man was just released on PC last month, and it has been an enormous success. Moreover, the new Spider-Man 2 will be a sequel to Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which was announced in 2020.
The only certainty about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is that it will be released on PS5 in 2023. Insomniac Games is also working on Marvel’s Wolverine for the PS5, though this game isn’t expected until later in the year.

Feds predict ransomware attacks on schools could spike early in new year
The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in a new warning that they expect ransomware attacks could increase at the start of the new school year.
“The FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC anticipate that attacks may increase as the 2022/2023 school year begins and ransomware crime groups perceive opportunities for successful attacks,” the joint bulletin released Tuesday reads. .
CISA is the cyber arm of the Department of Homeland Security.
The warning comes at a good time – one of the nation’s largest school districts, the Los Angeles Unified School Department, fell victim to a ransomware attack over the weekend.
Law enforcement warns that smaller school districts are the most vulnerable because they have the fewest resources to prevent an attack.
“School districts with limited cybersecurity capabilities and limited resources are often the most vulnerable; however, the opportunistic targeting often seen with cybercriminals can still put school districts with robust cybersecurity programs at risk. to Grade 12 can be considered particularly lucrative targets due to the amount of sensitive student data accessible through school systems or their managed service providers,” the bulletin states.
Specifically, the FBI and CISA said they were witnessing activity against schools by a particular group called the Vice Society “disproportionately targeting the education sector with ransomware attacks.”
The craft of Vice Society actors, officials said, was identified “through FBI investigations as recently as September 2022.”
The LAUSD Superintendent said on Monday that the group was associated with the LAUSD ransomware attack.

Decoding the growth of the sauces and ketchup industry
All ketchup is sauce, but not all sauces are ketchup! Yes, this needs to be clarified as the two are often used interchangeably in India.
Ketchup is used only for tomato sauce, while all others are called sauces.
In India, the sauces, dressings and condiments market is as large as Rs 21,700 crore, as of 2021, and is expected to reach almost Rs 30,000 crore by 2026. However, this data is heavily skewed by the presence of salt, pepper, and other seasonings included in their calculation.
In the pre-pandemic period, the contribution of non-tomato sauces in the market was only 30%, which grew faster to now reach 40% of the market share.
During the pandemic years, new brands like Dr. Oetker’s Fun Foods, Veeba, Naagin, and Wingreens, among others, grew by more than 50-100%.
Not only have new players grown during the pandemic, but the quest for home cooking has also interested giants like Unilever, Nestlé and Jubilant Food to expand their range of offerings in the sauces and condiments sector or even venture into new categories of sauces and condiments.
CNBC-TV18 spoke with Viraj Bahl, Founder and CEO of Veeba, and Mikhel Rajani, Co-Founder of Naagin Sauce, to discuss current trends, competition and growth opportunities for the sauces market.

iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 13: How will Apple’s latest phone stack up?
This story is part Focal Point iPhone 2022CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice on Apple’s most popular product.
Step aside, iPhone 13. Apple is expected to announce a new addition to its iPhone family today. Ahead of the company’s “Far Out” launch event, industry iPhone 14 rumors provided insight into the design, features and price of Apple’s impending new iPhone and how it might compare to its current flagship model, iPhone 13.
Read more: Apple Event 2022: How to watch today’s iPhone 14 unveil live
While waiting for the event, we ask ourselves questions: How much will the cameras to improve? Will the iPhone 14 cost more? And what’s wrong with the notch anyway – is it the iPhone year without notch? We’ve been sifting through the iPhone 14 rumors to find answers or at least get a better idea of what features Apple’s 2022 flagship phone may include. To be clear, none of these specs or features have been confirmed by Apple.
iPhone 14 design: goodbye, notch; hello cutouts
This one has persisted for years, but one of the biggest rumors has to do with the notch at the top of the display. After inserting the notch on the iPhone X in 2017, Apple might finally drop it this year, but apparently only on Pro models. The company should swap it out for a smaller punch-hole camera in the Pro models, according to renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo Kuo. A punch-hole design refers to a screen with only a small circular cutout for the front camera, as seen on a number of Samsung launches, including the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy ZFlip 4.
However, display analyst Ross Young predicts that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will receive two cutouts: a pill-shaped hole and cutout to accommodate the front camera and Face ID. Right now, the notch houses the components that make Face ID work, which means Apple may have to scale back all that technology to make a notchless iPhone a reality. Whether the next iPhone gets a cutout or two, the rumors we’re tracking indicate that members of the iPhone 14 lineup are going off without a hitch for the first time in five years.
Selfies iPhone 14: revamped front camera
Apple has made major changes to its rear cameras over the years, but the front cameras have been overlooked. That may not be the case this year. If the notch disappears, the iPhone 14’s front shooter may change visually with the addition of cutouts, but there’s also chatter about the camera system itself receiving a noticeable functional upgrade.
In a April tweet, Kuo said the entire iPhone 14 lineup will get a larger aperture (f/1.9), which should help the device take better photos at night, and an upgrade to autofocus. This all adds up to potentially the biggest upgrade to the iPhone’s front-facing camera since 2019.
iPhone 14 display: Pro models could add an always-on display
One of the biggest iOS 16 the features Apple previewed were its revised lock screen. Set to launch in the fall as part of iOS 16, the lock screen will display more information at a glance, including weather, activity progress, battery levels, and your calendar. It’s a feature that pairs well with an always-on display – and it only makes sense that Apple is launching it via the upcoming iPhone 14.
A June report from 9to5Mac uncovered references to backlight management tools as well as hidden indicators for engineers that could allow them to test an always-on display on a iPhone 13 Pro. The always-on display is already found on many Android phones as good as apple watch. Instead of illuminating your entire screen like your lock screen does, an always-on display only activates part of the screen to save power.
iPhone 14 price: Pro models could cost $100 more
Apple hasn’t made any price changes between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineup, but Wedbush analyst Dan Ives expect a price increase for iPhone 14 pro models up to $100. Currently, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999 and the iPhone 13 Pro Max at $1,099.
This is confirmed by Kuo, who recently said that he expects the average selling price of the iPhone 14 line to increase. The macro-economic environment also points to higher prices. Inflation remains persistently highwhile Apple continues to struggling with supply chain issues in China – both of which have driven up the price of doing business.
iPhone 14 size: same, but different bezel size for Pro models
Apple’s last two iPhone lines have featured the same 6.1-inch size for the base model, going up to 6.7-inches for the Pro Max. According to a report from Nikkei Asian Review, Apple will stick to these sizes for the iPhone 14 series, but will eliminate the 5.4-inch Mini. This rumor is corroborated by a 9to5Mac March Report. Reports have shown sluggish iPhone 12 Mini salesso it won’t come as a surprise if Apple ends up phasing out the tiny phone in 2022.
Although the size of the next iPhone is expected to remain the same, the Pro Max’s display bezels are said to be 20% smaller compared to previous iPhone generations, according to CAD renders shared by Leaked Twitter ShrimpApplePro. This means the screen would be slightly larger. However, it is important to note that this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt since ShrimpApplePro does not have an extensive track record to back up their speculations.

Center to release guidelines for social media influencers soon: report
New Delhi:
The government will soon issue guidelines for social media influencers requiring them to declare their association with the product they endorse, sources said.
“The Department of Consumer Affairs issues guidelines for social media influencers. It creates do’s and don’ts for them,” an official source said.
Sources said social media influencers, who have large followings on social media platforms like Instagram, endorse products after accepting payments from brands.
Under the proposed guidelines, if social media influencers endorse a brand after taking money, they will have to declare their association with that brand, sources said.
Social media influencers will need to put disclaimers in those endorsement posts, they added.
The guidelines could arrive in the next 15 days.
Meanwhile, the department has completed the process of developing a framework to combat fake reviews posted on e-commerce websites. The same will be released soon.
In May, the department and the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) held a virtual meeting with stakeholders, including e-commerce entities, to discuss the extent of fake reviews on their platforms.
Fake reviews trick consumers into buying products and services online.
The department then decided that it would develop these frameworks after studying the current mechanism followed by e-commerce entities in India and the best practices available globally.
Since e-commerce involves a virtual shopping experience without any opportunity to physically see or examine the product, consumers rely heavily on reviews posted on platforms to know the opinion and experience of users. who have already purchased the good or service.
“Traceability by ensuring the authenticity of the author of the review and the associated liability of the platform are the two key issues here. In addition, e-commerce players must disclose how they choose the “most relevant ‘to be displayed in a fair and transparent manner,’ said Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh.

5 new YA readings including We Deserve Monuments, A Scatter of Light, Bone Weaver: NPR
Meghan Collins Sullivan/NPR
As the chill of fall sets in, we turn to five new YA releases that will both haunt you and spell your heart.
Serious, thoughtful, and sincere, these novels will reward the reader with unusual and important perspectives.
We deserve monuments by Jas Hammonds
Avery barely remembers his grandmother, Mama Letty. So when her family moves from DC to Bardell County, Georgia to be with her while she dies of cancer, it doesn’t make much sense. Avery and her mother haven’t even visited Avery since she was a toddler – and it’s pretty clear that’s because her grandmother is a bitter, disagreeable woman. At least Avery is able to make some new friends – and maybe her pretty neighbor Simone could be even more than a friend.
But the more time Avery spends at Bardell, the more she begins to think there are a lot of secrets hidden from her. The secrets of his grandmother, the secrets of his mother, and the deep-rooted secrets of Bardell’s racist past and present. In the end, Avery may have to choose between building a comfortable new life and telling the truth about the wounds that tore his family apart.
It’s not that common for a young adult novel to tackle a teenager’s relationship with a grandparent, and it’s even rarer for that grandparent to be a complex character rather than a good source of inspiration. love and wisdom or a villain. Mama Letty isn’t nice and she’s not a villain – and while she has wisdom, she’s not quite sure Avery should have it. How their relationship develops is at the heart of this book. We deserve monuments gives us a complex and deeply hurt family, and shows a path to healing.
A dispersion of light by Malinda Lo
Malinda Lo reflects on the timeline of her National Book Award-winning novel, Last night at the Telegraph Club, for another instant snapshot of queer community and self-discovery. A scatter of light takes place 60 years later, when the Supreme Court has just legalized same-sex marriage.
Aria planned to spend summer vacation before college at Martha’s Vineyard with her best friends, but that plan is ruined when a topless photo of her is shared without her permission. Being shipped off to California to stay with her artist grandmother isn’t a punishment, but it does give her plenty of time to dwell on things she’d rather not think about.
Until she meets her grandmother’s gardener, Steph. Steph is not like anyone Aria has met before. Openly queer and intensely charismatic, Steph introduced Aria to an entire community of queer artists and activists. Aria had always assumed she was straight, but her budding feelings for Steph make her wonder how much she really knows herself after all.
Full of nostalgia, reflections on art and what it means to be an artist, and self-disclosure, A scatter of Light has a quivering intensity that makes it hard to put down. Lo knows how to write characters that jump off the page and feel like real people, from their quirks and interests to their flaws and shortcomings. This book feels like a portal to a very specific time and to that feeling of finishing high school and realizing that the world, and your place in it, is so much bigger than it seemed.
As long as the lemon trees of Zoulfa Katouh grow
Salama lives in a city ravaged by war. She was a normal Syrian girl, studying to become a pharmacist and living with her family. Now she spends her days in the hospital, where she has been promoted to emergency surgeon as she desperately tries to save her neighbors from horrific injuries from bombs and gunfire. With most of her family dead or imprisoned, she returns every night to her pregnant sister-in-law, whom Salama has sworn to protect.
But all trauma comes at a cost, and Salama begins to hallucinate a man who pressures her to flee Syria, and when she resists, torments her with visions of suffering. It’s enough to push Salama to buy a passage to safety for her and her sister-in-law. But then she meets a boy determined to film the atrocities happening in their country and show them to the world. Between her longing for the life she lost, the hope of escaping, and the pain of leaving it all behind, Salama isn’t sure how to choose the right path.
As long as the lemon trees grow paints a stark portrait of the atrocities of war and how normal life can be so quickly and completely ripped away by violence. Salama’s situation is heartbreaking and she is relentlessly brave in the face of it. This is a book that looks trauma directly in the face – and knowing that upon entering, I picked it up with some trepidation. I hadn’t expected to be running through it, clutching the pages, desperate to know what was going to happen next. It is a masterful portrayal of the horrific cost of oppression and violence, and puts a compassionate face on an unfolding crisis that is responsible for immeasurable human suffering.
The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew
After she nearly died as a child and became deaf, everyone treated Delaney like she was made of glass. No one expects her to land a scholarship to a renowned university, let alone be invited to join the new department of neo-anthropological studies, which explores the existence of parallel worlds. Delaney may be afraid of the dark and the strange voices whispering to her beyond, but she’s ready to prove she’s as capable as any other student.
But there’s one person she can’t convince: Colton, the TA assigned to her most important class. Colton is the prodigy of the neo-anthropology department – a boy who can slip between worlds as if it cost him nothing. But Colton has a secret. The reason our world has so little hold over him is that as a child he died and left it. Then a little girl named Delaney brought him back. She does not recognize the boy she resurrected and has no idea of the terrible danger she finds herself in once she falls back into his orbit.
There are a lot of tropes at play in this thoughtful start – the lonely girl with a connection to death, the aloof boy who hides his true feelings, the college with a secret society trying to unravel the mysteries of the occult. Which makes The Whispering Darkness unique is Delaney’s specific way of observing and interacting with the world. The way Delaney moves through the narrative as someone with a distinctive way of processing information has an almost dreamlike quality at times, keeping her at a distance while simultaneously rendering every detail of her world into relief. I had never met anyone like her on the page before, and passionately immersed myself in her senses.
Bone Weaver by Aden Polydoros
Toma lives hidden in the deep forests of the Kosa Empire with his adopted family of upyri – undead revenants that everyone considers monsters. But Toma knows better, devoting his days to repairing their deteriorated bodies with his embroidery and surviving in the desert. Her peaceful existence is shattered when a young tsar fleeing a revolution shows up at her doorstep, injured and in need of help. When her upyr sister is kidnapped by the men tracking her, she and the Tsar must join forces and travel to the heart of the empire to save her sister and bring the Tsar to safety.
Along the way, they meet a charming young man who has the power to draw magic from the land itself. Accused of sorcery, he joins them in their flight. But soon these three young people realize that instead of fleeing the persecution, they must run towards the hope of ending it together.
Slavic culture has become a popular inspiration for YA fantasy in recent years, but bone weaver stands. The folkloric creatures on its pages don’t sound like pop renditions, but rather authentic renditions of something ancient that speaks to how humans interact with the world. Sometimes books that draw on this source material fail to dig beneath the surface of fur-lined coats and dark forests to truly understand the complexity of how religions and folklore intertwine in this part of the world. . In his YA-acclaimed debut, The Beautiful City, Polydoros has shown how adept he is at taking history and myth and turning them into something believable and true. However bone weaver is the fantasy of the make-believe world, the real story behind it is treated with equal respect and consideration.

Idaho sheriff sends stern warning to Biden officials over ‘terrifying’ rainbow fentanyl crossing border
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An Idaho sheriff said Wednesday his community lacked the resources to deal with the influx of fentanyl that was crossing the southern border.
Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue told “Fox & Friends First” that the Biden administration is out of touch with the results of their border policies as Americans and communities grapple with rising fentanyl poisonings.
“At the border we just don’t catch the vast majority of these substances (fentanyl), it’s an incredibly terrifying drug,” he told Carley Shimkus.
DEA WARNS OF ‘NATIONAL SPIKE’ IN MASS OVERDOSE DEATHS LINKED TO FENTANYL
United States Customs and Border Protection officials seized more than 200,000 fentanyl tablets hidden in a secret compartment of a vehicle at the port of Nogales, Arizona on Saturday.
About 47,000 of those pills were rainbow-colored pills, which federal officials warned was a new trend meant to drive young people toward the deadly drug.
Fentanyl, a strong opioid up to 50 times stronger than heroin, was responsible for 71,238 of the record 107,000 fatal overdoses in the United States last year, according to the CDC.
Donahue described cartels targeting children with rainbow fentanyl as “absolutely sickening.”
“Little kids think they may look like candy or sugar bowls. They might eat them,” Donahue warns. “They will just die from ingesting these pills.”

Donahue said under the Trump administration there was “more influence” and more things done right, especially with border security.
In contrast, the sheriff said the Biden administration was “out of touch” and “lying.”
“This administration appears to be completely complicit in almost allowing and encouraging these drugs to enter our country and attacking our children.”

Chicago White Sox lose a ‘good’ pitcher’s duel to the Seattle Mariners — and then lose Luis Robert to a bruised left hand
Issues that have hurt the Chicago White Sox this season popped up again Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners.
- A defensive miscue put the Sox in a hole.
- One of their position players — this time center fielder Luis Robert — had his night cut short because of injury.
- And the team couldn’t come through when they had an opportunity offensively.
It all happened in a 3-0 loss to the Mariners in front of 17,958 at T-Mobile Park.
Sox starter Johnny Cueto kept his team in the game, allowing one run on five hits with three strikeouts and three walks in six-plus innings. But Mariners starter Logan Gilbert and three relievers made the big pitches when they had to, and Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer in the eighth as the Sox dropped back to .500 at 68-68.
“It was a good duel,” Cueto said through an interpreter. “He is a young pitcher with a lot of talent. He pitched a very good game. I think I really pitched a good game, too.”
The third-place Sox lost ground in the American League Central and vnow trail the first-place Cleveland Guardians by three games.
“Gilbert pitched good,” Sox acting manager Miguel Cairo said. “Johnny did what he does. He kept us in the game but we just came up short.
“We played really good. They scored more than us, we just didn’t score. The guys battled.”
The Sox completed Tuesday’s game without Robert, who exited in the fifth with a bruised left hand. The Sox said his X-rays were negative and the outfielder is day to day.
“He got hit in the hand, got hit in the fingers,” Cairo said. “We took him out (as a) precaution. He was holding the bat a little funny so we just took him out.”
Robert returned to the lineup for Monday’s series opener, his first start since Aug. 25 in Baltimore. He had played in just two games between Aug. 26 and Sunday — once as a pinch runner and once as a defensive replacement — because of left wrist soreness and a stint on the paternity list.
Robert got hit while swinging at the first pitch of his second-inning at-bat Tuesday. He continued the at-bat after being evaluated by the training staff and did not swing again, eventually struck out looking.
He took two strikes and a ball in his fifth-inning at-bat then swung with one hand and missed to strikeout in the fifth. He was replaced by Adam Engel.
“We saw that the finger was a little swollen so we wanted someone like Engel,” Cairo said. “Just a precaution.”
An inning before, the Mariners took advantage of a defensive mistake by the Sox for a run.
Ty France began the fourth with a double to right and advanced to third when Mitch Haniger flew out to right. Gavin Sheets’ throw to third bounced past Yoán Moncada and Cueto, who was backing up the play, and went out. France was awarded home on the error, which went to Sheets.
“It happens, you know?” Cairo said. “(Moncada) was just trying to catch the ball and the ball just went through his glove. (It) stayed down.”
Cueto added, “At first I didn’t see the ball because the third base coach (Manny Acta) kind of blocked my view. And then, yeah, the ball hit a camera.”
One of the best scoring chances for the Sox came in the sixth. José Abreu doubled with one out and advanced to third on a sharp single to center by Eloy Jiménez.
But Gilbert was effective with high heat, particularly in that jam as he struck out Sheets on a 98.7 mph fastball, according to MLB Statcast, and AJ Pollock on a 98.6 mph fastball.
Gilbert allowed five hits and struck out nine in six innings.
“He’s got that live fastball on the top of the zone that’s hard to hit,” Cairo said. “He has that reach, extension, he pitched good.”
The Sox tried to put together a two-out rally in the eighth with a single by Jiménez and a walk by Sheets. Reliever Andrés Muñoz struck out Pollock.
The Mariners got a big-two out hit in the eighth when Raleigh homered against Reynaldo López.
The loss was just the Sox second in their last seven games.
“We’re playing very good baseball,” Cueto said, “and hopefully (Wednesday) we come back and do it again.”

Suspect in deadly Canada stabbings has long criminal record
JAMES SMITH CREE NATION, Saskatchewan (AP) — As a Canadian Indigenous community comes to grips with a deadly stabbing rampage by two of its own, many blamed rampant drug and alcohol use that they linked to government failures — and others asked why the chief suspect had been recently freed from prison despite a long history of violence.
Myles Sanderson, has 59 criminal convictions, according to parole documents. He’d been serving a sentence of four years and four months on charges that included assault with a weapon, assault on a peace officer and robbery when he was released.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said he’s been told by the parole board there will be an investigation into its assessment of Myles Sanderson, who remained a fugitive and the subject of a large-scale manhunt on Wednesday.
“I want the know the reasons behind the decision” to release him, he said. “I’m extremely concerned with what occurred here.”
Many of his past crimes happened when he was intoxicated, and he told parole officials substance use made him out of his mind. He had been sought for a parole violation since May.
“The drug problem and the alcohol problem on these reserves is way out of hand,” said Ivor Wayne Burns, whose sister was killed in the weekend attacks. “We have dead people and we asked before for something to be done.”
Sanderson, 32, and his brother Damien, are accused of killing 10 people and wounding 18 others in the attacks that spread across the rural reserve and into the nearby town of Weldon, Saskatchewan. Damien’s body was found Monday near the attacks, and police were investigating whether his brother killed him.
The reserve, population of about 1,900, gets its name from a chief who signed an agreement over lands with the Canadian Crown and other tribes in 1876, according to its website. More tribal members live off the reserve, for about 3,400 members total.
Like many Canadian Indigenous communities, it has been scarred by a dark history.
From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 native children in Canada were ripped from their families and placed in government-funded Christian residential boarding schools. The aim was to Christianize and assimilate them into mainstream society, which previous Canadian governments considered superior.
Indigenous leaders blame the legacy of abuse and isolation at those schools as a root cause of the epidemic rates of alcohol and drug addiction now on Canadian reservations.
“This is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities, and we demand all authorities to take direction from the chiefs and councils and their membership to create safer and healthier communities for our people,” said Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations.
The parole board cited the intergenerational impacts of residential schools, saying it may have contributed to Myles Sanderson’s criminal past. It wasn’t clear, though, whether the brothers or family members attended the schools.
Myles Sanderson’s childhood was marked by violence, neglect and substance abuse and led to a “cycle of substance abuse, seeking out negative peers and violent behavior,” the parole documents said. He lived between his father’s home in a city and grandparents’ house on a reserve. There was violence and abuse in both households, it said.
Sanderson started drinking and smoking marijuana at around age 12 to cope with problems, the document said. Cocaine followed soon after.
Parole documents said he barged into his ex-girlfriend’s home in July 2017 while she was with friends, punched a hole in the door of a bathroom while his two children were hiding in a bathtub and threw a cement block at a vehicle parked outside.
He got into a fight a few days later at a store, threatening to kill an employee and burn down his parent’s home, documents said.
That November he threatened an accomplice into robbing a fast food restaurant by hitting him in the head with a firearm and stomping on his head. He then stood watch during the robbery.
In April 2018, he stabbed two men with a fork while drinking and beat someone unconscious.
He got into trouble twice while in prison for having contraband before he was let out in August 2021 on statutory release. But he got into trouble that year and had his release changed for failing to be honest with his parole supervisor about continuing what he acknowledged was a “rocky” relationship with his common-law spouse.
Myles Sanderson said his childhood “normalized substance abuse and violence.”
But he said he’d “stayed sober, found employment assisting an Elder, arranged for a therapist to deal with domestic violence and other issues.” And in February, the board allowed him out of prison, while adding conditions to limit and monitor contact with his spouse and children.
Parole documents also stated he should not enter into relationships — either intimate or non-sexual — with women unless he had prior written permission from his parole officer.
“It is the Board’s opinion that you will not present an undue risk to society if released on statutory release,” parole documents said.
But officials say he violated parole, and in May, a Crime Stoppers bulletin was issued for Sanderson, warning he was unlawfully at large.
Sharna Sugarman, who was organizing a GoFundMe for the victims, questioned the parole board for releasing him and why Sanderson was still on the loose so many months after he was deemed “unlawfully at large.”
“That’s just egregious to me,” said Sugarman, a counselor who worked in the community in 2010 and 2011 and counted one of the stabbing victims — Gloria Lydia Burns — as a client. “If they claim that they’ve been looking for him, well you weren’t looking that hard.”
Mendicino, Canada’s public safety minister, said he wants “to know if any mistakes were made during the (parole) process.”
“It has to be an independent review,” he said.

22% of adults were treated for mental illness in 2021, CDC says
Published: Sep. 7, 2022 at 8:08 AM CDT|Updated: 45 minutes ago
(CNN) - COVID-19 posed both a physical and mental threat to Americans.
According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 22% of adults in the U.S. received psychiatric treatment in 2021, a 3% increase from 2019.
Some health officials say the COVID-19 experience led more people to take better care of themselves on various levels.
The report also showed women were more likely than men to seek help.
The findings were based on data gathered by the National Center for Health Statistics.
Earlier this year, the Department of Health and Human Services launched a National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, called 988, for those in severe distress.

BERLIN -- The Austrian government on Wednesday announced plans for a power price cap to curb the rise in energy costs tied to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Chancellor Karl Nehammer said the cap should ease costs for an average household of three by about 500 euros ($494) per year. The government will provide around 3-4 billion euros to finance the measure, which will come into effect in December and last through the end of June 2024.
“No one in Austria should be unable to afford their basic electricity needs," the chancellor said in Vienna.
“This is about quick and unbureaucratic help, which is why no one needs to apply for it,” he added. “The electricity price cap is handled automatically for every household. It is another building block in the relief of people in a difficult time.”
Nehammer added that low-income households can apply for additional financial support.
The cost-relief plan comes at a time when Austria and other European countries are struggling to contain an energy crisis and rising prices as Russia has throttled back supplies of natural gas.
European officials have said it’s energy blackmail, aimed at pressuring and dividing the European Union as it supports Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.
The 27-nation EU should set a price cap on Russian natural gas and pass other measures to ease the energy crisis, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday.
Individual governments across Europe have passed relief for households as high energy prices drive up utility bills and fuel inflation.
Austria's government announced other financial aid earlier this year, including extra payments of child bonuses and financial aid for retirees on low pensions.
Guenther Hawelka, who runs the family-owned Cafe Hawelka in Vienna, said he had to respond to increasing costs by raising the price of coffee.
“We went up a little bit — we increased the price by 20 to 30 cents," he said. "Thank God we are roasting our own coffee. That means we import the coffee from South America, from Latin America. That’s why we can say it’s not yet as grave here as compared to other places. We can make our own prices.”
Marcel Reiter, a university student from Vienna, said the growing cost of living “is going to be a challenge."
"Of course everything is getting more expensive," the economics student said. "But I think it’s doable.”
Fellow student Laura Illoldi said she wasn't worried about the rising prices.
“I have a positive mindset. Of course the prices are going to go up a bit, that’s possible,” she said. "But I think it’s feasible — I’m not too worried.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he expects to be charged soon in a state criminal case in New York City.
Bannon, 68, plans to turn himself in on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person insisted on anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The Washington Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that the state criminal case would resemble an earlier attempted federal prosecution, in which Bannon was accused of duping donors who gave money to fund a wall on the U.S. southern border.
That federal case ended abruptly, before trial, when Trump pardoned Bannon.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment late Tuesday.
In a statement, Bannon said District Attorney Alvin Bragg “has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election,” accusing the Democratic prosecutor of targeting him because he and his radio show are popular among Trump’s Republican supporters.
“The SDNY did the exact same thing in August 2020 to try to take me out of the election,” Bannon said, referring to his arrest months before Trump’s re-election loss.
Federal agents pulled Bannon from a luxury yacht off the Connecticut coast and arrested him on charges he pocketed more than $1 million in wall donations.
“It didn’t work then, it certainly won’t work now,” the former White House strategist said. “This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system.”
Bannon, who had pleaded not guilty, was dropped from the federal case when Trump pardoned him on his last day in office in January 2021.
Two other men involved in the “We Build the Wall” project pleaded guilty in April. They had been scheduled to be sentenced this week, but that was recently postponed to December. A third defendant’s trial ended in a mistrial in June after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict.
A president can only pardon federal crimes, not state offenses, but that doesn’t mean state-level prosecutors have carte blanche to try similar cases.
In 2019, then-Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. brought state mortgage fraud charges against Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort in what was widely seen as an attempt to hedge against a possible pardon.
But a judge threw the case out on double jeopardy grounds, finding that it was too similar to a federal case that resulted in Manafort’s conviction. (Manafort was later pardoned by Trump).
While Manafort’s New York case was pending, New York eased its double jeopardy protections, ensuring that state-level prosecutors could pursue charges against anyone granted a presidential pardon for similar federal crimes.
Bannon’s case differs because he was dropped from the federal case in its early stages. In most cases, double jeopardy is only a factor when a person has been convicted or acquitted of a crime.
In another case not covered by Trump’s pardon, Bannon was convicted in July on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October and faces up to two years in federal prison.

NEW DELHI: Union finance minister
Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday assured that the new bill on
data privacy will be ready "soon" and the Information Technology minister has been diligently working on it.
Ashwini Vaishnaw is the Union minister for information and technology.
"We will soon have a new
Data Privacy Bill, which will be a product of consultations and will address every such concern most of us had on the privacy Bill," she said.
Sitharaman made the remarks here today while addressing the ongoing India Ideas Summit organised by US-India Business Council.
The central government last month withdrew the Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 from the Lok Sabha several months after it was introduced.
Minister for Railways, Communications, Electronics & Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw had said the Bill was withdrawn because the Joint Parliamentary Committee recommended 81 amendments in a bill of 99 sections.
"Above that it made 12 major recommendations. Therefore, the bill has been withdrawn and a new bill will be presented for public consultation," he had then tweeted.
Further, in her address to the US-India Business Council, she said jobs, equitable wealth distribution and ensuring that India is still on the path of growth are some of her top red-letter priorities.
However, according to her, inflation is not as it was brought down to "some manageable levels".
To put things into context, India's retail inflation fell to 6.71 per cent in July, the lowest level in five months, helped by an easing in food and oil prices, as per the National Statistical Office (NSO) data, it has been over the
Reserve Bank of India's upper tolerance band of 6 per cent for the seventh consecutive month in a row.
The previous month - June, the retail inflation was at 7.01 per cent in June. Inflation figures for August are expected early next week.

From stacks of cash to lavish parties, Cardi B and Offset are known to go all out for their kid's birthdays -- and for good reason. The 30-year-old Migos rapper stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday and explained why it's important to him and Cardi to go big for their 4-year-old daughter, Kulture, and 1-year-old son, Wave.
Offset first shared a video of Wave driving a toddler, motorized car through his epic car-themed extravaganza that took place over the weekend. "We do it big for our kids," he said. "We love our kids."
"We want to have a good time and bring our family together," Offset explained. "We travel a lot, we be gone a lot, so we bring our family together, make it a big celebration for the kid. Even though he's only one, you know, at the end of the day, we went through life, and we didn't have the opportunities."
"I bet if my mama had the chance, she would have went all out and did what she wanted to do for me," he added. "So I'm just lending it to my kids. Just letting them see they can have another life, too, you know? We work hard to do that."
Earlier this week, Cardi shared similar sentiments on Twitter following Wave's party, writing, "I know I can be a little extra when it comes to my kids but I ain’t really had shit growing up soooo yea imma ball."
The following day, Cardi was overwhelmed with sweet messages from her fans that she shared adorable new photos of Kulture and Wave to her followers. "Y’all been so sweet to my babies ….Here’s some close up," she wrote.
Earlier this summer, the couple turned heads when they gifted their daughter $50,000 in cash for her fourth birthday. "What is that?" Offset said in a video at the time, handing her the money. "A ticket!" Kulture replied.
"A ticket is a million, girl," Offset said. "That's 50. Say, 50!"
While Cardi and Offset enjoy spoiling their children, they're also raising them to understand the privileges they have coming from a well-off family.
"They need to know to never feel comfortable. Don’t ever feel like, ‘I’m going to get it because I’m Cardi and Offset’s kid,'" she told Vogue Singapore in July 2022. "They are never going to know what struggle feels like, so they might not have that hunger I had to leave the streets."
"Even though my kids are well-off, I want them to know that when you work for things and achieve it, it’s more respected—especially when people see that you bust your a** for it," she added.

Over the last 50 years, the oceans have been working in overdrive to slow global warming, absorbing about 40% of our carbon dioxide emissions, and over 90% of the excess heat trapped in the atmosphere.

The Perfect Work-Life Balance Starts With Saying No
Some simple strategies to navigate our complicated lives.
We want the best of both worlds. We want to have an important job, make good money, and also have relaxed weekends and the flexibility to go on vacation once in a while. But what happens when all of those things collide? Here are some strategies I've found that allow you to find a healthy work-life balance.
1. It's ok to say no
Saying no is a learned skill, and it can be hard to start practicing it. But once you get into the habit of saying "no" when you need to, your life will be much easier.
If you're always on the go, it's easy to feel you have to say yes to everything that comes your way—but that's not necessarily the best thing for your mental well-being. You don't want to burn out, right? So try saying no when someone asks you to do something outside of your comfort zone or if it would take away from an important family event or project.

You should also ensure that your goals are realistic and achievable in terms of time and effort required; otherwise, they might be more stressful than helpful!
2. Set realistic goals
It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of our lives, but it's important to make time for ourselves. After all, the only way we'll be able to find time for what matters most is if we can set aside those things that don't matter. So take a step back and think about what you want out of your life—not just in terms of career or family, but also in terms of personal growth and enjoyment. Then take some time each day (or at least once a week) to do something that helps you get closer to those goals.
It could be something as simple as taking an extra hour during lunch or doing yoga in the morning before work. Whatever it is, make sure it's something that helps you feel more fulfilled and less stressed out about life!

3. Try to make your calendar work for you
By now, you know that the best way to get organized is by making a calendar. It's true! So here's the thing: once you've made your calendar, it's time to start working with it.
Many people think calendars are just for scheduling things like meetings, but they can actually be so much more than that. The key to finding the perfect work-life balance is scheduling your fun.
It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and forget about taking time for yourself. But you have to make time for what makes you happy. If you don't, you'll burn out before you know it.
Take a few minutes at the end of every day to think about what made you smile that day or what will make you smile tomorrow. Then set aside time for that activity as soon as possible. You'll be much happier in the long run—and so will everyone around you!
It might seem silly at first, but it'll help keep you focused on what matters most to you in life—and that's always a good thing.
4. Stay connected to your friends and family
When you're feeling disconnected from your family and friends, it's time to take a step back and reconnect.
If you've been working on a new project for a week straight and don't feel like talking to anyone, take a break! Shut down your computer, put away your phone, and pick up a good book. Reading can be an amazing way to get in touch with yourself and what makes you happy (and it's also just really fun).
If you feel like you need to talk to someone but don't want to call or text, try sending an email instead. It's a great way to express yourself without having the pressure of speaking out loud or worrying about whether or not they'll respond right away!

5. Take time out of your day to exercise
Exercise is a great way to clear your mind and feel better about yourself, but if you don't have the time or energy to make it happen, you might be tempted to skip this step. But here's the thing: when it comes to living a balanced life, exercise can be one of the easiest things to squeeze into your routine—even if it's just for 15 minutes at a time.
Whether it's a quick walk around the block or even just a few minutes of stretching at your desk, taking time for yourself will help you feel more energized and relaxed throughout the day. Plus, when you're able to take care of yourself physically, it will give you more energy and motivation to take care of yourself emotionally as well!
6. Get plenty of rest each night
You know what they say: "early to bed, early to rise," or something like that.
The point is, for your body and mind to function at their best, you need to give them time to rest. It's important not just for your mental health—you might feel better and more energetic when you get up if you've slept enough—but also for your physical health. Sleep helps keep your immune system strong and prepares the body for the next day. So try and get at least eight hours of sleep each night!
7. Outsource where you can
If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's time to get outside help.
Don't worry about what other people will think of you—outsourcing is a great way to get more done without spending more time. There are tons of companies out there that can do everything from bookkeeping and data entry to research and writing for you—and if you need help getting started, we have a list of vetted companies on our website!
We need more than just a good salary and benefits from a job
It's also good to remember that you aren't simply a "work drone," and your job isn't the only thing in your life. So don't be afraid to find a balance that enables you to pursue other passions. You never know—taking the time to nurture other areas of your life might just lead to more fulfilling work.

New Delhi: The Central government on Wednesday filed a review petition against the Supreme Court verdict declaring a mandatory 1-kilometre buffer zone around wildlife sanctuaries and national parks.
In its petition, the Ministry of Forests and Environment said if the verdict is implemented, it will adversely affect the livelihood of thousands.
The final notification for the protection of the Western Ghats could be issued within six months, Ministry sources told Manorama News.
The revision petition sought clarifications on paragraphs 44A and 44E of the buffer zone judgement.
It also sought clarity on whether a retrospective effect would apply in determining the buffer zone, the Centre argued.
If the verdict is implemented as it is, there will be a situation where many people will lose their homes, the Ministry pointed out.
Though buffer zone grievances have been resolved in Goa and Maharashtra, it remains a contentious topic in Kerala and Karnataka.

StreamCaster Radios Selected for Stryker Brigade Combat Teams in Capability Set 23
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Silvus Technologies, Inc. ("Silvus") today announced the award of a $2.4 million order from the U.S. Army to provide StreamCaster mobile ad hoc network (MANET) radios for deployment at scale in the Army's Integrated Tactical Network. As part of the Army's Capability Set 23 (CS23), StreamCaster radios were selected for their ability to connect Stryker brigade combat team (SBCTs) command posts, creating a self-organizing mesh network designed to operate in multiple spectrum bands at high data rates, with advanced interference avoidance and cancellation waveform capabilities. The order comes just weeks after Silvus StreamCaster radios and version 4.0.2.8 of StreamScape firmware achieved Authority to Operate (ATO) certification from the U.S. Army.
"StreamCaster radios provide robust, high bandwidth connectivity for the Army with a MANET waveform that has been battle-proven with ground forces, on-the-move and aerial tier units across multi-domain operations," said Mike Kell, Silvus Director of Army Strategic Accounts, Retired Signal Corps Colonel. "In concert with the Army's PEO Command, Control, Communications-Tactical (C3T) and Army Futures Command's Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT), we continue to expand Silvus' MN-MIMO waveform's Spectrum Dominance capabilities to thrive in congested and contested environments, critical to achieving the Army's Unified Network modernization objectives."
For CS23, StreamCaster radios (Joint Electronics Type Designation: AN/PRC-169) will be deployed to Stryker BCTs, providing continuity of operations for mounted and dismounted formations that will extend the distance and range of these units, thereby increasing mobility for maneuver. Previously selected for CS21 to connect key command posts at the brigade and battalion echelons, StreamCaster radios enable transmission of federated TAK data with up to 8W of output power, high data rates and dual frequency band support. Learn more about the StreamCaster family of radios on our website and follow us on LinkedIn.

On 28th August, Clintel, that describes itself as an independent climate change policy organisation, released a 'World Climate Declaration' (WCD) denouncing Climate Emergency. The declaration has been signed by over 1200 signatories from around the world, who are experts in various fields related to climate change and environment studies. The WCD is led by Nobel Laureate Professor Ivar Giaever a renowned physicist and engineer.
This World Climate Declaration questions the integrity of data already published in relation to proving the existence of climate change and its effect on people and the environment. They claim that climate sciences have been overrun by politics and must focus more on empirical science rather than "discussion-based beliefs."
However, thousands of scientists across the globe disagree.
1200 Signatories: Fishermen and a Cardiologist?
Clintel is a known climate science denial group that is based in Netherlands, founded by a retired Professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and the journalist Marcel Crok.
Clintel has been vehemently denying climate change since 2019. The organisation was investigated into by DeSmog, a blog focused on global warming, and it was found that majority of the 'climate and environment' scientists supporting the organisation 'have done little to no research on climate change.'
DeSmog analysed the list of signatories and ambassadors under Clintel and "found a commercial fisherman, a retired chemist, a cardiologist, and an air-conditioning engineer, alongside a number of retired geologists."
A number of the supporters of this group also have ties to fossil fuel lobbyists and free-market groups that have previously been against green policies and climate action.
In the list of 1200 signatories of this particular declaration, a number of signatories are from the oil and gas industry, and eight have been found to be former or current shell corporation employees, according to David Vetter, Forbes Sustainability Senior Contributor.
The Declaration itself has decided to focus on a few issues regarding climate change, but has failed to provide any scientific or statistical backing to their own claims.
WCD has expressed its express disdain for climate models. They state that the climate models are are dependent on the assumptions of theoreticians and programmers, that in 'mainstream climate science' majority of this input is undeclared.
Are IPCC's Claims About Rising Temperatures Wrong?
The WCD has made claims on the benefits of increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, how extreme weather events are not connected to global warming, and the IPCC's prediction of the pace of global warming is simply a model and not the reality of the Earth's rising temperatures.
However, even currently the world is in turmoil as extreme weather events wreak havoc.
In just the span of two months, we have seen wildfires ravaging Europe, floods plaguing parts of South Asia, China and the United States, recording breaking heatwaves have been seen across Europe and East Asia.
These disasters have been directly equated to Climate Change and global Warming by climate scientists and experts. Clintel, however, seems to be providing further fuel to climate deniers and fossil fuel lobbyist in the war against climate policy.
“Climate change is already affecting every region on Earth, in multiple ways. The changes we experience will increase with additional warming"Panmao Zhai, IPCC Working Group I Co-Chair
Beyond extreme weather events, CO2 is a known pollutant to the atmosphere, and while definitely a major component of photosynthesis, the dwindling forest cover over the earth's surface can hardly keep up with the output of carbon in the atmosphere, say experts.
Clean air is major concern for climate scientists with carbon emissions increasing exponentially. Most countries under the Paris Agreement have added a net-zero carbon goal to tackle in increased air pollution. Scientists have correlated the increase of CO2 and other green house gases to the global rise in temperature.

SINGAPORE - Singapore employment agencies and employers hiring Filipino domestic workers no longer need to submit a banker's guarantee and performance bond.
The performance bond is a requirement by the Philippine government to ensure that employers here comply with rules, such as providing medical coverage and paying salaries on time.
This was on top of the mandatory $5,000 security bond for all non-Malaysian foreign domestic workers in Singapore required by the Ministry of Manpower, which remains in place.
The move was announced by Philippine Secretary of Migrant Workers Maria Susana Ople during her meeting with Manpower Minister Tan See Leng on Wednesday.
It is among the outcomes of a two-day state visit by Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, who was on his first trip to Singapore since taking office in June.
A joint statement by the Philippine Department of Migrant Workers and the Ministry of Manpower said the removal of the requirement was in recognition of the deep and abiding friendship between the two countries.
In the statement, Mr Tan expressed appreciation for the removal and affirmed Singapore's commitment to protect the well-being of all migrant workers in Singapore.
The Philippine Overseas Labour Office website states that a letter of guarantee for a $7,000 Philippine Embassy bond with a reputable insurance company in Singapore is needed when an overseas Filipino worker departs for or returns to work in another country.
On Wednesday, leaders from Singapore and the Philippines exchanged bilateral agreements in areas ranging from digital cooperation, data privacy and counter-terrorism to water collaboration and urban development.
President Halimah Yacob, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Mr Marcos welcomed a joint communique on the recruitment of Filipino healthcare workers.
This is expected to pave the way for greater bilateral cooperation in the field of healthcare, said a joint statement by both countries issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Leaders from both sides reaffirmed the strong people-to-people ties that form the core of the bilateral relationship.
Madam Halimah and Mr Marcos paid tribute to the 200,000-strong Filipino community in Singapore in their speeches at a state lunch at the Istana.
Madam Halimah said Singapore is a familiar place to many Filipinos, who have relatives and friends working or studying here.
"We are home to a dynamic and thriving Filipino community of over 200,000 people. They form an important part of our diverse social fabric," she said.
She expressed appreciation for Filipino frontline workers in Singapore who played a critical role in the fight against Covid-19.
"I am heartened that the reopening of borders has allowed many Filipinos to return home to reunite with their families and loved ones. I look forward to the increased frequency of social, education and cultural exchanges between our two peoples," she said.
Mr Marcos said Singapore's developed economy presents opportunities for the thousands of Filipinos who have chosen to set up their lives here.
"They are happy and content with their decision to come to Singapore to make their lives here. Singaporeans have been open and warm in their relations with our Filipino workers in Singapore, and for that, I thank the Singaporean Government and people."

Five bold predictions for the Arkansas basketball season
The more talented the Razorback roster becomes, the more difficult it is to give the team “bold” predictions.
That is easily the case this year as the Arkansas basketball team boasts the second-ranked recruiting class and one of the top transfer hauls in the country, in addition to returning key contributors Kamani Johnson and Davonte Davis.
In spite of all that, I think there are still some bold predictions I can make for this team:
1) 35% or better from three
This will be an unpopular opinion, so it makes for the perfect bold prediction. Under Eric Musselman, Arkansas has not had great success from beyond the arc. In his three seasons in Fayetteville, none of his teams have managed to eclipse 33.5% from the three-point line.
This roster on paper might even have fewer shooters than each of his previous three seasons, so how could they possibly be the one team to not only eclipse 33.5%, but to even shoot a solid 35% from three?
Shot selection. The way this team is built, it will not rely on a ton of outside shots, and the shots the Razorbacks do take this year will be much better looks within the flow of the offense.
On previous teams, Musselman had mainly one or two shooters carrying the load of the entire offense, which included some ill-advised or heavily contested shots from the perimeter. That just won’t be the case this year.
With multiple primary ballhandlers, the offensive flow should be the best it's been in Musselman’s tenure, and the wings and shooters on the roster will benefit from that.
Not only is five-star Nick Smith Jr. one of the top NBA Draft prospects in the country, but he also has one of the best-looking outside shots in the country. Even if he is at higher volume comparatively, he should easily find himself above 36% from the perimeter and pushing that 40% individual percentage.
Outside of Smith, there should be a collection of four or so guys who can take and make open shots in the flow of the offense. Anthony Black, Jordan Walsh, Ricky Council IV, Trevon Brazile, Davis and potentially some others in the main rotation have the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter.
Of course, in the four-game European tour, the Razorbacks shot under 30% from three as a team, which would be the lowest mark in Musselman’s tenure if that would be indicative of the season.
My contention, however, is that a good amount of those misses came from players who either aren’t projected in the rotation come season time, or were shots certain players would not take in the course of a regular season game.
On top of all of that, some guys, in particular Walsh and Black, are still working on re-tooling their shots. The mechanics are much better than they were just last year, and now it is just a matter of getting more and more reps in and seeing the ball go in the hoop.
I’ll also add that when Council was shooting a reasonable shot volume and not forced to do everything during his time as a Wichita State Shocker, he was a 44.4% shooter from the perimeter.

Getting an updated Covid vaccine this fall will help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination, according to the White House Covid-19 Response Team.
"Laboratory data suggests that the addition of the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 spike protein components may help broaden the spectrum of variants the immune system is ready to respond to," CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a press briefing Tuesday.
"Modeling projections show that an uptake of updated COVID-19 vaccine doses similar to an annual flu vaccine coverage early this fall could prevent as many as 100,000 hospitalizations, 9,000 deaths, and save billions of dollars in direct medical cost," she told reporters.
Last week, following FDA's emergency use authorization, CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended Pfizer-BioNTech updated COVID-19 vaccine for people above 12 and Moderna updated COVID-19 vaccine for 18 year-old and above.
CDC and ACIP recommend that everyone, regardless of the number or type of previous doses, receives a Covid-19 bivalent vaccine this fall. People can receive an updated vaccine dose at least two months after their last COVID-19 vaccine dose.
"As 99 percent of circulating viruses in the United States are BA.5 or BA.4, updating our COVID-19 vaccines to match the circulating variants helps us to better be protected against these variants and future variants that might be closely related to Omicron," Walensky said.
Health Secretary Xavier Becerra announced that millions of pre-ordered doses of advanced vaccine are being shipped to tens of thousands of locations nationwide.
By the end of this week, more than 90 percent of Americans will live within five miles of these new updated available vaccines.
Americans can start to visit Vaccines.gov to find a location near them with new updated vaccines.
CVS, Walgreens, and other pharmacy partners began making appointments over the weekend, and we expect appointments to be widely available within the next week or so, Becerra said.
"As we work to deliver vaccines equitably, our focus is on reaching the highest-risk Americans, particularly people ages 50 and up," he added.
in the coming weeks, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will reach out to more than 16 million people who will receive Medicare emails to share information on these updated vaccines, including when and how to get them.
Becerra said the Biden administration has closed rates of disparity in getting access to these vaccines throughout the country. "We have closed a 10-point disparity gap in our nation's vaccine rate between white Americans and Black and Latino communities."
In September, the local chapters of the national Parent Teacher Association will host "Shots to Go" vaccination clinics.
Organizations with strong reach among racial and ethnic minority communities, including the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Montague Cobb, and the National Hispanic Pastors Alliance, will host community health expos and vaccine drives throughout U.S. cities.
Faith-based groups, such as the Women's Missionary Society Foundation, will host a series of vaccine events at AME churches in several states.
And groups with strong reach across rural communities, such as Healthy Trucking of America, will host pop-up clinics.

U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon shot into the spotlight on Monday after granting former President Trump’s request for an independent mediator to examine materials the FBI recovered during a search at his Mar-a-Lago residence last month.
Cannon, who was appointed by Trump in 2020, made the divisive decision after hearing arguments from the ex-president’s lawyers, who pushed for the special master, and attorneys from the Department of Justice (DOJ), who said the former president’s claims of privilege were unwarranted.
She ultimately ordered that a special master be appointed to determine what seized materials are protected by attorney-client and executive privilege. The ruling also directed the DOJ to temporarily stop using the retrieved materials for “investigative purposes” in an effort to “uphold the value of the special master review” — effectively pausing the department’s investigation.
Cannon, who sits on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, is now tasked with choosing a special master to sift through the more than 11,000 documents and asked both sides to provide a list of possible contenders for the job by Friday. The DOJ, however, can still appeal the ruling.
Here are five things to know about Cannon.
Trump appointed, bipartisan approved
Trump nominated Cannon to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in April 2020. At the time, she was an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, working in the criminal division of the appellate section.
The Senate confirmed Cannon on Nov. 12, five days after major networks called the 2020 election for President Biden, in a bipartisan 56-21 vote. Twelve Democrats supported her appointment, and 23 senators did not vote.
During her confirmation process, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) asked if she had “any discussions with anyone — including, but not limited to, individuals at the White House, at the Justice Department, or any outside groups — about loyalty to President Trump.”
Cannon responded “no” in writing.
Member of the Federalist Society
Cannon has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2005, according to a judicial nominee questionnaire she submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee in April 2020. The group is made up of conservative and libertarian lawyers, law students and scholars.
Cannon said she joined the Federalist Society when she was a student at the University of Michigan Law School. She was asked during her confirmation process about why she joined the group.
“I did so because I enjoyed the diversity of legal viewpoints discussed at Federalist Society meetings and events,” Cannon responded in writing.
“I also found interesting the organization’s discussions about the constitutional separation of powers, the rule of law, and the limited role of the judiciary to say what the law is—not to make the law,” she added.
Six of the nine justices currently sitting on the Supreme Court — all of whom were nominated by Republican presidents — are members of the Federalist Society, in addition to a number of GOP senators.
Cannon ruled in the Pelosi, Ocasio-Cortez threats case
Cannon is not new to presiding over high-profile litigation. In April, the federal judge sentenced a man to 18 months in prison for making threats against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Paul Hoeffer, 60, pleaded guilty in February to interstate transmission of threats to injure and admitted to threatening to kill the two congresswomen in March 2019 and November 2020. He also threatened a district attorney in Illinois.
But the 18-month sentence from Cannon was significantly shorter than the 3 1/2 years of prison time prosecutors had asked for. And it was more than a year shorter than the minimum punishment under federal sentencing guidelines, according to The Palm Beach Post.
Hoeffer’s legal team requested a shorter sentence because their client was diagnosed with cancer.
Cannon had signaled support for a special master
Cannon’s ruling did not come as a total surprise — the judge days earlier said it was her “preliminary intent” to install a special master to sift through documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
“The court hereby provides notice of its preliminary intent to appoint a special master in this case,” Cannon wrote in a court filing on Aug. 27, before either side presented their arguments at a hearing.
The New York Times called the pre-argument signal “unusual.”
In that same filing, she also scheduled a hearing to take place at a federal courthouse in West Palm Beach, rather than the location in Fort Pierce, Fla., where she usually conducts business, according to the Times.
From Colombia to the Southern District of Florida
Cannon — who was born in 1981 in Colombia — made a number of stops in the legal world before landing at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
After receiving a bachelor of arts degree from Duke University in 2003 and earning her juris doctor from the University of Michigan Law School in 2007, Cannon began clerking for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit in Des Moines, Iowa, where she worked for a year. The bench was Republican-appointed, according to the Times.
She then moved to Washington, D.C., to be an associate attorney at the corporate law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, where she worked for three years, before taking a job as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

Most elections are, at least in part, reactions to the results of the last election. Usually, that means they function as a referendum on the last election's winners and their performance in office.
It is unusual, if not unprecedented, for the midterm cycle to focus on the conduct of the last election — a kind of referendum on the legitimacy of the system itself.
By that standard, 2022 qualifies as unusual indeed.
Donald Trump and his followers, who now represent the activist core of the Republican Party, have insisted on making 2022 a do-over of 2020. Their essential argument is not that President Biden has failed or been a bad president, but that he was never legitimately elected president in the first place.
Trump has in fact this past week demanded he be "reinstated" as the "rightful winner" of the 2020 election or that the election be re-run "immediately" because Facebook had been advised by the FBI not to trust certain stories about Biden's son, Hunter, during the 2020 campaign.
Trump continues to insist, after 20 months, that he won an election that he lost by more than 7 million in the popular vote and by 306-232 in the Electoral College. Neither he nor his acolytes have produced any evidence to undermine those totals. But they have eroded confidence in the system and its caretakers to the degree that a majority of Republicans tell pollsters they think the election was "stolen."
The rest of the GOP, including prominent leaders such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, would clearly prefer to talk about Biden and about inflation, gas prices, crime and immigration. But they cannot wrest the party's megaphone back from the man who has monopolized it since 2015. And whatever they think of Trump personally, they are as reliant as he is on the support and donations and votes of his followers. So they fall in line, or they fall silent.
The rise of election denial in the GOP
Moreover, a new generation of candidates has emerged and surged in GOP primaries by stressing their embrace of Trump's claims.
Trump has endorsed 159 candidates who are election deniers for state and federal offices this year, and about 80% of them have already won their Republican primaries, according to a survey by The New York Times. A separate survey by The Washington Post found 87 election deniers among candidates for offices that will matter to the vote certification of the next election in six battleground states he narrowly lost in 2020 (Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin). Of that number, 54 have already won their primaries.
"The 2020 election was stolen," say the MAGA candidates who wear Trump's favor, adding, "You know it and I know it." That statement of assurance is usually the only proof offered. And the crowd at the rally roars back its affirmation.
The "you know it and I know it" mantra is also available in a variety of display formats. You can go on Amazon today and order it on a package of 10 waterproof vinyl car decals, or go elsewhere for it on a doormat or on a polyester flag measuring 15 square feet.
From the standpoint of a fact-checker, there is no evidence of fraud sufficient to support that claim. After nearly two years of recounts, ballot reviews, expert examinations and court cases, that remains the bottom line. The 2020 election has been scrubbed and studied as none other in U.S. history, and the consensus conclusion remains that it was run more smoothly and counted more reliably than ever.
So why do Trump's people continue to deny the outcomes, and why do crowds cheer?
Perhaps, because in politics, myth can be as powerful as fact — and at times it may well be more so.
Claims of voter fraud have become integral to Trump's brand. But he did not invent the idea of a stolen election. He exploited it as no one had before, to be sure, but he was mining a lode that had been opened long ago and tapped as a rich source of grievance for generations.
Deep and tenacious roots
For the "election deniers," and for many Americans who accept the 2020 results but still think voter fraud is a big problem, the roots of these beliefs are deep.
The Heritage Foundation, long an anchor on the right among think tanks in Washington, devotes a page of its website to voter fraud and offers a database of cases. It also offers a disquisition on ballot stuffing and voter intimidation and other forms of malfeasance common in the 1700s and 1800s and early 1900s.
The prime example cited by Heritage is an election stolen by the notorious Democratic machine in New York City known as Tammany Hall. It happened in 1844. More recent examples cited include a mayoral primary in East Chicago, Ind., in 2003.
The figure of 1,182 is cited for the total of criminal prosecutions for voter fraud in recent years, most of them dealing with improper registration or fraudulent use of absentee ballots. They are listed as 2022 cases, but on further inspection they date back over a period of years and arise from primaries as well as general elections. The database does not mention that in 2020 alone there were more than 50 million votes cast in primaries and more than 158 million in the November election.
William Safire was a White House speechwriter for President Richard Nixon who later spent decades writing columns on politics and language for The New York Times. In his popular New Political Dictionary, he wrote extensively on "ballot box stuffing" and "cemetery voting." He, too, went back to Tammany Hall rigging outcomes for the Democrats in New York City in the 1800s, while also allowing that the Republican strongholds in upstate New York were often suspect in their reporting as late as the 1920s.
Safire noted that many had believed the 1960 presidential election was tipped to John F. Kennedy and running mate Lyndon B. Johnson by vote theft in rural Texas counties and the heavily Catholic precincts of Chicago, where the Democratic machine of Mayor Richard J. Daley held sway. One story often repeated among Protestant Republicans in Illinois described school buses shuttling nuns around the city on Election Day, unloading them to vote at every Catholic parish they passed.
Still, in Safire's treatment, these phenomena were historical artifacts of an era before mechanized and later digitized voting became the norm and cheating became more challenging. The Florida vote counting fiasco in 2000, which struggled for weeks to ascertain a reliable result, ended the era of complacency on this score. In the end, the Supreme Court upheld a count by which George W. Bush won the state by just over 500 votes, thus securing Florida's crucial contribution to his minimum-margin win in the Electoral College.
Since then, the administration of U.S. elections has been thoroughly examined and renovated. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) devoted billions to upgrading the election infrastructure, and many states instituted reforms of their own to facilitate and improve their voting and counting systems.
At the same time, the Bush White House was directing the Department of Justice to investigate thoroughly the possibility that voter fraud in major cities was padding the Democratic vote in swing states. The probe began in 2002 and five years later had little to show for its work. The federal Election Assistance Commission, tasked with finding fraud, reported that while some abuses had occurred, they were far from systematic or pervasive enough to matter much.
Nevertheless, the search went on and some U.S. attorneys around the country felt they were being pressured to prioritize prosecutions for voter fraud. Several resigned, and the allegations became part of the investigation Democrats began into the department after taking the majority in Congress in 2006. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, appointed by Bush in 2005, resigned in 2007.
Trump brings the issue back to the fore
Talk of voter fraud simmered down a bit thereafter. But the issue returned to prominence when Trump, after years of pumping up the "birther" conspiracy about Barack Obama's citizenship, shifted his focus to voter fraud in 2016. The only way he could lose, he said often that year, was if the election were stolen.
When he won that year, Trump still leveled angry allegations of voter fraud, perhaps because he had lost the national popular vote by nearly 3 million. He said between 3 million and 5 million non-citizens had voted in California alone, but he offered no proof whatsoever. He then appointed a bipartisan commission to find the proof, not just in California, but nationwide.
The commission was soon identified with the aggressive tactics of its vice chairman, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who had sent requests around the country for extensive voter data. Many states, both red and blue, resisted or flat out refused. Dissension broke out within the commission, which disbanded after seven months without having found any evidence of voter fraud.
Nonetheless, Trump was back in the 2020 cycle predicting he could only lose if there was fraud, and that stance once again segued into a fury of denial and denunciations when he lost. While he struck out in the courts at the state and federal level (the Supreme Court refused to hear any of the appeals), Trump took his case to the public and has had considerable success in sowing doubt among his sympathizers.
At least one of the other Republicans eyeing the 2024 presidential election cycle, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has also made voter fraud a signature issue. In August, he held a news conference at which he announced the filing of charges against 20 Floridians who he said had voted illegally in 2020.
With rows of his "election police" posed behind him, DeSantis said he was outing ex-offenders who had no right to vote because of the seriousness of their crimes. It was later reported that at least some of the ex-offenders had believed their rights had been restored by a referendum Florida voters had approved by a big margin in 2018.
Getting stronger still?
Ricky Hatch is a Republican in Weber County, Utah, who has been an election official there since 2012. He is among several local election administrators from around the country who appear in a forthcoming book by CBS News reporter Major Garrett and David Becker, a previous longtime elections lawyer with the Department of Justice who founded the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research. In The Big Truth: Upholding Democracy in the Age of "The Big Lie," Garrett and Becker detail the travails of the ordinary citizens on the front lines of the voting struggle.
Hatch said some of his neighbors cannot be persuaded even when he personally demonstrates to them how all the machinery of the process works right there in their home county. "They say, 'I know your machines have been hacked by China,' " Hatch reports. "I show them there is no means to hack the machines, that nothing is connected. They just say, 'They have been hacked, you just don't know it.' "
Hatch says he has heard objections from skeptics over the years, but nothing like the wall of denialism erected by Trump.
"I hate saying this, but he has the same characteristics as a cult leader," Hatch says. "He pulls people into a belief system. I thought it would die down. ... It's getting stronger."
At a minimum, the issue of voter fraud seems undiminished in its ability to galvanize certain categories of voters and create doubt about the outcome of elections.
Perhaps that should not be surprising. Voter fraud exists, but its prevalence and importance are less a matter of fact than of belief. Relying on that belief to explain away unpalatable election results is an exercise of faith, but one that millions find more acceptable than all the arguments and evidence from experts, courts and academics.
In the end, articles of faith are just that. Whether you consider faith to be higher than reason or simply unreasonable, such beliefs can be largely immune to factual refutation or rational argument. And they can be powerful motivators of human behavior, including at the polls.

Master blenders collaborate on Japanese whisky-inspired Kentucky bourbon
BARDSTOWN, Ky., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoli® Group is announcing the release of its latest collaboration, the Kentucky Owl® Takumi Edition Bourbon Whiskey. Available this fall across the U.S., the Takumi Edition is the second limited edition release from Kentucky Owl® this year showcasing the brand's innovative approach to traditional bourbon. For more information, visit kentuckyowlbourbon.com
A collaboration between Master Blenders John Rhea (Kentucky Owl®) and Yusuke Yahisa (Nagahama Distillery), this latest limited edition release blends new and old, showcasing Kentucky bourbon through the eyes of Japanese whisky. Both Kentucky and Japan are home to whiskey lovers who respect tradition and craftsmanship, but who also admire innovation. The Japanese term kaizen — continuous improvement — echoes through this latest project. "Takumi" means "master" in Japanese, with the name of the release celebrating the art and craft of modern whisky blending.
Rhea and Yahisa worked together to create the resulting Takumi Edition blend, with Rhea selecting four different formulations and sending the samples to Japan. Yahisa evaluated those samples, which represented different ages and mash bills available from Kentucky Owl®. Yahisa then created different blends with those formulations to develop one most reflective of his Japanese whisky style.
"This collaboration encompasses not just the art of blending, but the flavors and taste profiles that both countries are famous for in their whiskeys," said Rhea. "The Takumi Edition provides bourbon lovers insight into the flavor profiles sought after by a Japanese whisky blender. As someone who has worked in the industry for several decades now, it was exciting for me to work with a rising star in whisky with a unique perspective."
Speaking of the collaboration, Yahisa said, "I was very excited to have the opportunity to work with John Rhea on this unique project. Bourbon is a whiskey that I admire and it was an honor to be able to partner with John and create a new and unique blend of Kentucky Owl together."
The Takumi Edition Bourbon is a blend of 4-, 5-, 6- and 13-year-old Kentucky straight bourbons with mash bills containing corn, rye or wheat, and malted barley.
The nose features a savory mix of light rye bread with sweet caramel richness and a hint of tangy fruit salad. On tasting, there is an initial wave of buttery rye bread with a full-bodied feel. The savory mix of rye and caramel combine into a cinnamon and caramel sauce that clings to the taste buds and brings out a bit of fruitiness — mostly apple and pear — that provide a flavorful and lasting finish.
"Bringing together Rhea and Yahisa, bourbon and whisky, Kentucky and Japan has proved to be another great whiskey collaboration," commented Damian McKinney, Global CEO of Stoli® Group. "Through this second limited edition international collaboration release of Kentucky Owl Whiskey, Stoli is pleased to present another rare new blend that marries the craft and skills of two Master Blenders from two great whiskey making nations."
Yahisa is an up-and-coming master blender — through his blending skills, Nagahama distillery is one of only 10 Japanese distilleries to have earned awards in the world's three largest whisky competitions (San Francisco World Spirits Competition, International Spirits Competition and the World Whisky Awards), despite being Japan's smallest distillery. Started in 2016, Nagahama Distillery is located on the shores of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake, and produces single malt whisky with its own distinct flavor characteristics imparted by the unique climate.
This is the fourth Kentucky Owl® release under Rhea, who previously served as Four Roses Distillery's chief operating officer, where his responsibilities included quality control, maturation, evaluation and product blending. He was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame in 2016 and served as chair of the Kentucky Distillers' Association board of directors.
Stoli® Group, the leading global ultra-premium spirits and wine company, purchased Kentucky Owl® in 2017. Originally founded by C.M. Dedman in 1879, the Kentucky Owl® Bardstown distillery went dark during the Prohibition era and remained dormant until a descendant revived the brand in 2014. Since then, the company's small batch releases have sold out quickly and received rave reviews.
The Kentucky Owl® Takumi Edition Bourbon Whiskey (100 proof/50% ABV, $150 MSRP/750mL), is the latest addition to the Kentucky Owl® portfolio, following the release of the St. Patrick's Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey in March 2022. The Kentucky Owl® Takumi Edition will be available beginning in October through fine retailers across the brand's national distribution footprint.

Apple is expected to unveil the 14th series of its iconic and ubiquitous iPhone on Wednesday at its first in-person product launch event since before the coronavirus pandemic began.
Industry watchers also hope to see the new generations of Apple watches, AirPods and other updated versions of its hardware.
In addition to high tech advances, there is likely to be increased attention to prices this year with inflation hovering near four-decade highs. Even before the pandemic when the economy was booming, people were balking at the substantial price tags for smartphones with upgrades that don’t win over owners of recent models.
In April of 2020, just as the pandemic was crushing the U.S. economy, Apple released the second-generation iPhone SE with a price tag as low as $399, a 40% markdown from the most affordable iPhone 11 unveiled last year.
Now, with 9% inflation battering Americans’ household budgets, analysts wonder if consumers won’t wait a little longer to upgrade phones, or pass on the earphones that can cost as much as filling up their gas tanks each month.
“Pricing is a key watch-point in a tough macro which comprises inflationary pressures and pull back in consumer spending, but we believe it matters more for wearables which are considered more discretionary purchases relative to iPhone by consumers,” JPMorgan analysts wrote.
Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring predicted that in addition to the iPhone 14 family of smartphones, the company would release three new Apple watch models and possibly updates to Airpods, HomePod mini and Apple TV.
Analysts at JPMorgan expect a major screen size update to the iPhone mini and a new, more rugged Apple Watch Pro as well as enhanced sound quality on the AirPods pro.
The event will be streamed from Apple’s Cupertino, California headquarters starting at 10 a.m. local time.

A single bench of Justice Bharati Dangre in the order of August 22, which was made available on Wednesday, also noted that a child in conflict with law deserves to be reunited with his family.
Representational Pic
The Bombay High Court has granted bail to a 18-year-old man, who was arrested in a gang-rape case two years ago when he was a juvenile, noting that he has responded positively to the rehabilitative efforts.
A single bench of Justice Bharati Dangre in the order of August 22, which was made available on Wednesday, also noted that a child in conflict with law deserves to be reunited with his family.
The man, who is presently lodged at an observation home in Dongri area of south Mumbai following his arrest, was booked for the gang-rape of a seven-year-old girl in 2020. He was 16 years old at that time and was sent to the observation home. He turned 18 recently.
The high court while ordering for him to be released said the education of the applicant, who is now an adult, cannot be further discontinued and reuniting him with his family would enable him to develop himself to his full potential.
"The applicant has positively responded to the rehabilitative efforts during his stay in the observation home. He deserves to be reunited and restored with his family and it would be in his best interest so that he can develop himself with full potential," Justice Dangre said.

The man in his bail plea had claimed that his long detention in the observation home has caused disruption in his life and that if right kind of opportunities, guidance and support is made available then he has good potential.
The high court in its order said no risk could be established to the victim by the accused or his family.
Justice Dangre said the applicant deserves to be released on bail by invoking the principle of repatriation and restoration to the same socio-economic and cultural status that he was in before commission of the alleged crime.
"The accusations faced by the applicant are undisputedly serious, but he must so derive benefit of being a child and hence the benefit of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act cannot be denied to him," the court said.

Police have disclosed that after days of intelligence operations, on September 6, 2022, their men retrieved one of the excavators that were reported missing from Ellembelle.
According to a short statement on their Facebook page, police said a team of operations and intelligence officers working day and night discovered the missing excavator.
It was discovered several kilometres into a forest within the Ellembelle District, police said.
Galamsey Queenpin Aisha Huang remanded, expected to reappear in court following rearrest for engaging in menace
“While the team of police officers were escorting the excavator to Takoradi, at the Axim Junction, the DCE of Ellembelle, Mr Kwasi Bonzo, organised and led some thugs to attack the police and obstruct the operation. The DCE and three others were therefore arrested accordingly.

“Investigation continues to recover the other excavator and arrest all those behind it to face justice,” police said.
Excavators Missing In Police Custody
The Chronicle reported in a previous story that two excavators seized by security forces because they were being used for illegal mining had gone missing in police custody.
But police swiftly moved in to deny the story by the newspaper, denying ever taking charge of the excavators from the DCE, Mr Bonzo.
They promised to look into the allegation and find the missing heavy duty equipment.

"Peppa Pig," the hit cartoon show aimed at preschoolers, has introduced its first same-sex parent family in its 18-year history.
The landmark moment arrived during an episode entitled "Families," which aired on Channel 5 in the UK on Tuesday.
"Peppa Pig," the hit cartoon show aimed at preschoolers, has introduced its first same-sex parent family in its 18-year history.
The landmark moment arrived during an episode entitled "Families," which aired on Channel 5 in the UK on Tuesday.
In the short scene, Peppa's classmate Penny Polar Bear talks about her two mommies and what makes each special.
While drawing a picture of her family -- two polar bears in dresses -- Penny says: "I'm Penny Polar Bear. I live with my mommy and my other mommy. One mommy is a doctor and one mommy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti."
The episode divided viewers. While many welcomed the inclusion, some did not support the introduction of the same-sex couple.
British safeguarding organization Safe Schools Alliance tweeted: "Really nice to see age appropriate representation of same sex couples on @peppapig with Penny & her two mummies."
Another viewer tweeted: "That's the end of the Peppa Pig phenomenon. What a shame. Education, not indoctrination."
Broadcast in 180 countries and translated into 40 languages, "Peppa Pig" has become a global phenomenon since it burst, oinking, onto screens in 2004. The franchise has toys, clothing lines and even its own tourist attraction: Peppa Pig World.

CNN has contacted Entertainment One, the Canadian production company behind the show, for further comment.
In 2019, campaigners launched a petition calling on the writers of "Peppa Pig" to include a same-sex parent family, to make it more inclusive for all children.
The petition, which attracted more than 23,000 signatures, stated: "Children watching Peppa Pig are at an impressionable age, and excluding same-sex families will teach them that only families with either a single parent or two parents of different sexes are normal.
"This means that children of same-sex parents may feel alienated by Peppa Pig, and that other children may be more likely to bully them, simply through ignorance.
"Peppa Pig is not just for entertainment, children are inevitably learning from it too."

Steven C. Miller’s Margaux is what happens when Disney’s Smart House turns nasty—well, nastier. Miller’s recently taken a hiatus from scary storytelling in favor of lawbreaker action thrillers, but Margaux shows no genre rust. As a fan of titles like 2012’s Silent Night remake, mature kiddie thriller Under the Bed and breakneck The Aggression Scale, I was pleased to see the same Miller bring his nastier horror sensibilities to a sleepover-silly A.I. slasher. It’s what Miller does best, spotlighting his genre adoration through blackened humor and hyper-intense violence. Margaux is younger adult horror with an edgier attitude and pops of twisted comedy, which helps distract from digital effects that look like they might actually be from 1999’s Smart House.
Writers Chris Beyrooty and Nick Waters establish their futuristic getaway like many before: College friends escape campus for a one-last-time vacation. Coder wiz Hannah (Madison Pettis), pretty boy athlete Drew (Jedidiah Goodacre), snappy influencer Lexi (Vanessa Morgan), stoner Clay (Richard Harmon) and sexually-charged couple Kayla (Phoebe Miu) and Devon (Jordan Buhat) celebrate their impending graduation by reliving freshman year once more. Drew rents a smart house with unparalleled artificial intelligence for their stay, which introduces itself as Margaux. Everyone’s enamored by what Margaux can accomplish—the house is described as a 3-D printer—except for Hannah. Something doesn’t feel right, as her friends allow Margaux access to their entire online presences through the house’s app.
Margaux addresses serious contemporary cyber issues, including data privacy breaches, social media vapidity and the Skynet dilemma of A.I. learning from human impulses. Hannah is the untrusting computer genius who refuses to let Margaux in, creates firewalls and is the dissenting voice among her crew when Margaux starts shattering safety barriers. It’s a proper base to establish tension, as most of us blindly accept online advancements without considering their Trojan horse ramifications. Miller glorifies Margaux’s flashier qualities, like materializing delicious meals with a button push or robotic arms that prepare margaritas, only to hide the more nefarious nature of data mining behind the scenes. It’s still a seedier slasher—as made evident by a gruesome opening massage chair death—but gets its kicks by taking shots at society’s apathy towards granting billionaires access to our private internet activity.
Miller nails the tone of Beyrooty and Waters’ screenplay, turning Margaux into a character beyond your standard automaton coldness. Siri voice actress Susan Bennett underlines Margaux’s extreme hospitality with try-hard unease by borrowing her victims’ vocabulary and mannerisms—imagine a computer saying things like “let’s get crunk”—but then flips this callously catty switch into serial killer mode when bodies start piling. Drew, Hannah and Lexi scamper around Margaux’s interior covered in blood, dodging spontaneously generated obstacles, all while Margaux cracks jokes about dead friends or breathes heavy sighs of exasperation. It’s delightfully bonkers. Margaux’s string of failed murder attempts on resident smokestack Clay is the best representation of such goofiness, as the blitzed buffoon lucks his way out of a few blatant assassinations before Margaux’s façade drops—”oh, just drink the ***** water,” she demands, knowing Clay’s not sober enough to realize it’s acid.
Margaux is at its best when taken as seriously as Bing.com, which is to say not very seriously at all. Pettis delivers action heroine lines about decidedly non-badass hacker actions, Goodacre plays an aloof sidekick with a panicked brevity that works and Miu and Buhat’s legendarily horniness somehow doesn’t get old. Morgan is an A+ choice for the desensitized social media superstar who, even in the face of death, has her Instagram sponsors on her mind. The character models are basic—Harmon is solid, yet no different from Fran Kranz in Cabin in the Woods—but fully aware of their assignments. Miller protects his cast from becoming too forgettably familiar or abrasively annoying, whether by funnily emphasizing his college-bred caricatures or calling upon tethered performances that understand the horrors of Jordan Peele’s Us.
Although there’s an unfinished nature to its digital effects that are a bit disappointing—purely budgetary, I’d presume—Margaux doesn’t shy from its ambitions, from metallic Doc Ock tentacles to 3-D printing explained by a milky liquid Margaux oozes out of grates and into drains. This allows for infinite smart-house-of-horrors possibilities, but also comes across as so-so animation. What doesn’t exist on set feels oddly out of place: The cloudy artificial goo puddles feel like they’re from The Secret World of Alex Mack; Margaux’s weaponized appendages are cartoonishly glossy. It’s a shame, because Miller’s overseen countless practical effects showcases, and this much gloopy animation feels far below what he’s capable of.
Still, Margaux is far more deranged and enjoyable than the last paragraph suggests. Miller brings shotgun blasts of obscene violence into an overpowered smart house with a murderous core processor. Beyrooty and Waters instigate conversations about the futility of binary programming versus human complexities while also taking the time to throw in low-hanging hormonal party gags that cut the technological doom-and-gloom with sarcasm. Margaux stumbles somewhat in the final act and isn’t the prettiest virtually rendered showcase, yet its filmmaker understands how to keep audiences snickering and cackling. Attitude is everything, and Margaux has encrypted repositories to spare.

Chanelle Hayes has been spotted confidently embracing her body in a bikini as she holidayed in Greece.
Former Big Brother housemate Chanelle, 34, lost nine stone within the past two years following a gastric sleeve operation in August 2020.
Now, Chanelle has been seen confidently embracing her body in an emerald green bikini as she took a dip in the pool on her Greek holiday.
Chanelle's two-piece swimwear set boasts a bra-like emerald green bikini top and high-waisted bottoms, which come below her belly button.
She added a pair of simple black thong flip fops to her poolside look and wore a white and black striped oversize beach bag for the sun-drenched outing.
Chanelle, who recently said a Big Brother reboot would be too similar to 'boring' Love Island, wore her brunette mid-length locks in a down hair-style and used her dark sunglasses to push the front of her hair away from her face.
The Big Brother star, who once worked as a Posh Spice lookalike, was seen enjoying a dip in the pool, first sitting at the edge and paddling her feet before popping her whole body into the refreshing water.
After a quick swim, Chanelle retreated to her sun-lounger where she tied her hair up and soaked up some rays.
It comes after Chanelle, who also had hair transplant surgery recently, candidly opened up about previously feeling conscious about wearing a bikini because of her 'loose skin' from the gastric sleeve op.
As she posted a collage of snaps of herself from over the years wearing different swimwear looks, Chanelle opened up to her 120,000 followers.
She penned in the caption: "I was conscious about wearing a bikini on holiday this year because of my loose skin (I’m the lowest weight I’ve been since 2015) but then I remembered I did all the other years so why would I not anymore?!
"Gave my head a little shake and reminded myself of my post last year: EVERY body is a bikini body. (only if you want it to be, of course! Many people prefer swimsuits/coverups and that’s all good too).
"But my point is: if you want your body to be a bikini body, it is".
The former reality star was soon praised by fans as one wrote: "You look stunning in all of those pictures and don’t let anyone tell you different! Xx".
Another added: "Looking fabulous on every picture! Keep putting out the body positivity message!!!"
"I Think you look amazing in all of them xx," a third agreed.
Chanelle recently got engaged to her boyfriend Dan Bingham in April and is "over the moon" about finding The One.
An insider recently told OK!: "She’s been dreaming of this for such a long time.
"Chanelle has really been through it when it comes to relationships and this time it really feels like she’s found The One."
She began dating account manager Dan at the beginning of last year.
The reality star kept him out of the spotlight until sharing their engagement news as she posted a photo of the pair on her Instagram and gushed: " So…. Dan and I are engaged!!!! Forgot to mention" followed by a laughing face emoji.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri voters will head to the polls in nine weeks to decide if marijuana should be legal to buy, use and grow for anyone 21 and older.
Under state law, lawmakers are required to hold a forum after the secretary of state certifies a ballot question but before voters get to decide. Besides legalizing marijuana, the initiative petition on the November ballot will also ask if previous non-violent offenses should be erased. One judge who spoke at the meeting Tuesday is hesitant about recreational marijuana.
“The worry is that whatever the person might have been addicted to when he or she came into the judicial system and winds up on drug court later, what they will do is they will just transfer their use from methamphetamines and fentanyl to marijuana for the duration of the time they are supervised,” said Wright County Circuit Judge Craig Carter.”
Carter was one of a handful that testified at Tuesday’s Joint Committee on Legislative Research meeting. Others that spoke were in favor of referendum, saying it would help the free up state’s judicial system.
“The single most important thing Amendment three does is it’s going to stop the great majority of the 20,000 plus arrests that happen every year in the state of Missouri,” said attorney Dan Viet. “It places a tremendous burden on our courts, on our law enforcement, on our prosecutors, on our jails, on the probation officers. Resources which are wasted.”
Voters will decide if the Show-Me State should join 19 other states in legalizing marijuana. Last month, Gov. Mike Parson criticized the ballot question.
“I think that thing is a disaster,” Gov. Mike Parson said in August while at an event in Kansas City.
The governor bashing the constitutional amendment that is estimated to bring $40 million to the state in revenue and roughly $14 million for local governments. The question will ask voters, “Do you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to:
- Remove state prohibitions on purchasing, possession, consuming, using, delivering, manufacturing, and selling marijuana for personal use for adults over the age of 21
- Require a registration card for personal cultivation with prescribed limits
- Allow persons with certain marijuana-related non-violent offenses to petition for release from incarceration or parole and probation and have records expunged
- Establish a lottery selection process to award licenses and certificates
- Issue equally distributed licenses to each congressional district
- Impose a six percent tax on the retail price of marijuana to benefit various programs
John Payne is the campaign manager for Legal Missouri 22. He said in an interview last month the campaign collected 400,000 signatures to put the question on the ballot. Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s office certified 215,000 of the signatures. If approved by voters, it would amend the state’s constitution, similar to medical marijuana and Medicaid expansion.
The referendum would allow those 21 and older to possess up to three ounces of marijuana and have up to six flowering plants, six clones, and six seedlings. It also would expunge non-violent offenses.
Payne said the vast majority of people who have a non-violent offense are getting simple possession citations or arrests for possession of fewer than 35 grams. It allows Missourians 21 and older to possess up to three ounces at a time would be the second highest possession limit in the country, but Gov. Parson thinks otherwise. He said the referendum is not a “good way to do business.”
Retired attorney Steve Faber told the committee the expungement provision is an important piece of the amendment because he knows of many Missourians who have minor marijuana offenses who can’t get jobs.
“The number of families that have been negatively impacted and then you get out of prison. You’ve got this on your record and you can’t get a job that is going to feed your family,” Faber said. “To me, that is one of the most important parts of this initiative.”
The governor said he believes there are too many lawyers involved in this initiative petition. Payne said the total amendment is 39 pages, the first 15 are about medical marijuana since the petition extends how long a patient’s medical marijuana card is good for one year to three.
A spokeswoman for Parson said Tuesday the governor does “not plan to expand the call for a special session to include legalizing marijuana.” A group of bipartisan lawmakers asked Parson to allow them a chance consider legislation that would legalize cannabis in a “free market fashion.”
With no maximum limit when it comes to licenses to sell marijuana, Payne said Missouri will have per capita, one of the largest numbers of licenses in the country. He said there is a minimum of 144 new licenses under the referendum.
Back in 2018, Missouri voters approved medical marijuana through a constitutional amendment. The election is on November 8.

Ida Shannon celebrating her birthday in style Photograph:( Others )
Ida Shannon, who turns 91 years old later this month, ditched the ordinary and went skydiving last Sunday to celebrate her life milestone.
Most 90-year-old individuals will like to ring in their birthday by sitting in a cosy home, surrounded by their loved ones, enjoying food and drinks and later getting to their beds early in the night. However, for a Minnesota nonagenarian, celebrating her 91st birthday in such a manner was a strict no-no.
Ida Shannon, who turns 91 years old later this month, ditched the ordinary and went skydiving last Sunday to celebrate her life milestone.
"Life would be pretty dull if you didn't embrace adventures. I like taking risks. I think I was born that way." said Ida.
Ida, who had celebrated her 80th birthday by going zip-lining had always dreamt of going skydiving as her next adventure.
"Someone asked me what I was going to do next, and without even thinking about it, I said, 'Oh, I'll just go skydiving,'" said Ida in an interview to CBS.
To make Shannon's dream come true, the members of her church stepped up and started to make the arrangement.
The church members collected money amongst themselves and managed to send Shannon aboard a plane so that she could jump thousands of feet down and make her dream a reality.

Ahead of the jump, Ida noted that it was going to be scary initially but she wanted to enjoy the experience.
"The first minute or two is going to be kind of scary because you have to wait for the parachute to open. But after that, I exepcte to be able to leap down on god's earth and enjoy what god has created." added Ida.
Daisy May, one of Ida's friends and a member of the church referred to her as real-life wonder woman, "She's like the real Wonder Woman. She's strong and loves the people. We are family. She is like the grandmother I wish I had."
Ida not only went aboard the plane but she also managed to complete the dive and make it back safe. Later, she clicked pictures with her friends and family.

Tesla hunger strike: Norwegian owners plead for help from Elon Musk to fix list of faults with their cars
Protesters issue list of 29 faults, from starting problems to rust, and plead for Elon Musk to help address owners’ problems
A group of disgruntled Tesla owners have staged a hunger strike in a bid to have problems with their cars addressed.
The Norwegian group staged the 24-hour protest ahead of Tesla CEO Elon Musk arriving in the country for an energy conference on Monday.
They claimed they had been driven to the action by a series of faults with their electric cars ranging from faulty door locks and infotainment screens to rust problems and issues with cars failing to start in cold weather or failing to start in warm weather. They also expressed dissatisfaction with Telsa’s customer service in handling the problems.
In total, the group published a list of 29 issues with their cars and urged Mr Musk to pay attention to Telsa owners in Norway, where the EV brand was the biggest selling car maker in 2021.

The group’s spokesman Erlend Mørch, from Oslo, explained: "We are hoping to get Elon’s attention so he will start to pay attention to his Norwegian customers.
"Customers that love the car and many who want to continue being Tesla customers, but are plagued with endless repairs and in many cases unresponsive support centres."
In a speech at an event to mark the beginning of the protest, Mr Mørch said: "Dear Tesla owners, the day has come.
"It is now our voices will be heard. It is now we reach our hands to the skies, and hope that the one who looks down on us - with his satellites - will hear our prayers."
Unhappy customers
The owners also spelled out the word “help” with their cars in a bid to gain attention.
After news of the hunger strike began appearing on social media, Musk tweeted about fasting, writing: "On advice of a good friend, I’ve been fasting periodically & feel healthier."
Although seemingly coincidental, some involved in the protest saw it as a "cruel subtweet" in reference to their actions.
The Tesla Hunger Strike website lists 29 alleged problems owners have had with Tesla cars. It states: "Norway has the most Teslas per capita in the world. But a lot of customers are not happy.
"Norway is by far the number 1 Tesla country in the world. We are the canary in the coal mine.
"We are a group of dissatisfied Norwegian Tesla owners. We believe that if Elon Musk is made aware of our troubles, he will solve the situation."
Norway is among the global leaders in EV adoption and has the highest EV-per-capita rate in the world thanks to taxation policies which heavily favour battery-powered vehicles over petrol and diesel, and a robust charging infrastructure.
In 2021 two thirds of new car sales were battery electric vehicles and Tesla’s 11% market share made it the biggest selling brand in the country.
The full list of alleged faults issued by the Norwegian Tesla owners
- The car won’t start in cold weather
- Door handles won’t open in cold weather
- Intense squeaking noise
- Car won’t start in warm weather
- "Bubbles" in seats
- Loose front seat
- Trunk lid filled with rain water
- Autopilot does not work properly
- Internet is slow and does not work as it ought to
- The wipers do not work (well enough)
- The car creaks when you pass speed bumps and other bumps in the road
- Decorative moldings loosen
- The lights do not work properly
- The doors stop working properly
- Doors that open by themselves
- The computer does not work
- Yellow edges around the display screens
- Windows that do not close completely
- Systems reset on their own
- Problems charging
- Reduced power
- Rust problems on new cars (especially Model 3)
- Poor paint quality means that the car has to be repainted
- You were promised free charging throughout the car’s lifetime, but the new charging stations do not fit the car
- Lower battery life that Tesla claims
- Problems with the air conditioner
- Not all problems are solved when the car is serviced
- Tesla promise to contact you, but you do not hear from them
- You have to wait on the phone for a long time before Tesla answers

Radar Online
A Fox News producer’s email warning host Jeanine Pirro to stay off the air was uncovered in Dominion Voting System’s defamation lawsuit against the network, Radar has learned.
The shocking development was revealed on Tuesday. The email was reportedly sent shortly after Election Day 2020 when Fox News hosts, like Pirro, went on television and claimed the election had been stolen from then-President Donald Trump.
According to NPR, who confirmed the email’s existence via two sources familiar with the message, the Fox News producer who sent the email was worried about the legal ramifications the false claims Pirro spouted would have on the network.
The producer’s worries were not unfounded. In the months following Pirro and the other hosts’ false claims on the network, Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.6 billion lawsuit accusing both Fox News and Fox News’ parent company of defamation.
“The Dominion Software System has been tagged as one allegedly capable of flipping votes,” Pirro told the network’s viewers on November 14, 2020 – the day the election was called in now-President Joe Biden’s favor.
Pirro also falsely suggested Dominion’s voting machines were not only proven to have flipped votes for Trump to Biden, but the machines were also discarding ballots cast for Trump.
Evidence of a Fox News producer’s email warning Pirro not to go on air and falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from Trump comes just weeks after a Delaware state judge ruled Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox Corporation could move forward.
The suit alleged the network’s top executives – including Rupert Murdoch and his son, Lachlan Murdoch – “exerted direct control over Fox News’ programming decisions” and was therefore responsible for the false claims against Dominion’s voting machines.
The voting machine company also claimed Dominion suffered “enormous and irreparable economic harm” and estimated its loss of profits for the next eight years to be more than $600 million due to the false claims made on Fox News about their machines.
Despite Dominion’s ongoing lawsuit, a spokesperson for Fox News recently described the company’s billion-plus damages claim as “outrageous, unsupported and not rooted in sound financial analysis, serving as nothing more than a flagrant attempt to deter our journalists from doing their jobs.”
Dan Webb, Fox News’ current outside attorney for the ongoing case, also recently claimed the network did nothing wrong and was simply reporting then-President Trump’s claims that Dominion committed voter fraud.
“All you’re reporting to the public is that somebody — in this case, the president of the United States — has made the allegation of voter fraud by Dominion,” Webb told NPR this week.
He added, “I don’t know how anything could be more newsworthy than the president of the United States making the allegation, and his lawyers making the allegations in court, because that’s so fundamental.”

Bentley’s Flying Spur is the fourth and final model in the automaker’s lineup to receive the Speed treatment.
Revealed on Tuesday, the new Flying Spur Speed effectively replaces the previous Flying Spur equipped with the W-12, as the Speed is now the sole option for the 12-cylinder engine in the Flying Spur family. Other options include a V-8 and V-6 plug-in hybrid.
Bentley is in the process of phasing out the W-12, with the recently revealed Batur special edition serving as a sort of celebration of the iconic engine, while at the same time heralding the automaker’s electric future. It means those who were planning to purchase a Bentley with the W-12 should act quickly.
The W-12 displaces 6.0 liters, features twin turbochargers, and is rated at 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque in the Flying Spur Speed. This results in 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 207 mph.
Drive goes to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. The top speed is achieved in sixth gear, as the seventh and eighth gears serve as overdrive gears for improved fuel economy. The all-wheel-drive system normally sends most of the drive torque to the rear wheels but can direct extra to the front when slip is detected. The torque distribution varies depending on what drive mode is selected.
Rear-axle steering and active roll stabilization also aid handling. The latter relies on an electronic actuator to adjust the stiffness of the anti-roll bars, which enables the stiffness to be adjusted on demand. This is ideal for maintaining grip through corners and a supple ride at other times. Stopping power comes from a massive set of brakes, with the front rotors measuring approximately 16.5 inches across. These sit within a set of 22-inch wheels whose design is unique to the Flying Spur Speed.
Other design cues unique to the Speed include a dark tint for the grille and headlight surrounds, plus jeweled fuel and oil filler caps. Bentley also offers a carbon-fiber pack known as the Styling Specification. This adds the carbon-fiber front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and trunk-lid spoiler. A Blackline Specification with black accents is also on offer.
The interior matches the sportier vibes found outside, thanks to suede-like materials like Alcantara and Dinamica, plus sports pedals. There are also more traditional elements like piano black and wood veneers, and digital instrument cluster and infotainment system sport graphics unique to the Speed. The seats feature 24-way adjustments up front and 14-way at the rear, and all of them include heating, cooling, and massage functions.
Deliveries of the Flying Spur Speed start later this year. Bentley expects the U.S. to be among the main markets, with an anticipated take rate of one out of every three Flying Spur sales. Pricing information will be announced at a later date.

Vince McMahon put an end to an iconic career with the WWE after he announced that he stepping down as the CEO and chairman after more than 30 years in charge of the company. 'Mr.McMahon' became synonymous with the brand WWE as fans got hooked to the programming on their television sets. McMahon steered the company from turmoil in the 90s to becoming a global behemoth in the 2000s. However, McMahon had to leave the company in July with Triple H taking over creative control of WWE.
On being asked, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T gave an interesting reason to explain why former chairman Vince McMahon should not return to the company. While addressing a fan's question, the 57-year-old said that he hopes that Vince can now enjoy his free time after giving it his all for several years in running the company.
While addressing a fan's question on the possibility of Vince McMahon returning to WWE, Booker T replied via his Hall of Fame show, "You know what. I hope not. I'm not saying it in a bad way or anything like that. I just wish the best for Vince McMahon and hopefully, he can enjoy the fruits of the labour. Enjoy life for a moment. Just take a seat back and enjoy life. Take a vacation. That's something that I know Vince, throughout my time being around him, that was not on his agenda."
After turning 77, Vince McMahon took to his official Twitter handle to announce his retirement as WWE CEO and chairman. Via a news release, he announced that his daughter Stephanie McMahon, who is currently serving as the interim CEO, would take the position of co-CEO alongside Nick Khan.
At 77, time for me to retire.
— Vince McMahon (@VinceMcMahon) July 22, 2022
Thank you, WWE Universe.
Then. Now. Forever. Together. #WWE #thankful
Vince then went on to elaborate on his retirement in his personal statement by adding, "Throughout the years, it's been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire you, thrill you, surprise you, and always entertain you. I would like to thank my family for mightily contributing to our success, and I would also like to thank all of our past and present Superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I would like to thank our fans for allowing us into your homes every week and being your choice of entertainment."
After revealing his decision to retire from his administrative role, he added that he would continue to support the company in whatever capacity he can. "As the majority shareholder, I will continue to support WWE in any way I can. My personal thanks to our community and business partners, shareholders, and Board of Directors for their guidance and support through the years," added Vince.

The Managing Director of the Covid-19 Private Sector Fund, Senyo Hosi, has described as mischievous, portions of the Auditor-General’s 2021 Report.
According to Mr Hosi, the Auditor-General owes them an apology for claiming the funds are unaccounted for as that is not the reality.
The Auditor-General in its 2021 report on the Public Accounts of Ghana – Ministries, Departments and Other Agencies asked the managers of the Fund to refund GH¢254,203.00 to the state.
According to the report, the use of the amount was not accounted for.
But Mr Hosi maintains the fund has not engaged in anything that is untoward as reported in the 2021 Report, thereby calling on the public to disregard the report.
“We saved money rather than claims that the money is unaccounted for. The Auditor-General didn’t do a good job. The Auditor General got it wrong because we’ve not embezzled any money.
“I personally feel embarrassed by the report but it only goes to show how we are fallible. I feel sometimes it’s a bit of mischief, ” he told Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Tuesday.

Leeds Rhinos' Aidan Sezer talks 'do or die' rugby, late winners and how to stop Catalans Dragons
Leeds Rhinos have salvaged something from a disappointing season by qualifying for the play-offs, but scrum-half Aidan Sezer admits that’s not enough.
Rhinos faced a relegation battle after winning only one of their first 10 competitive matches, but snatched fifth place in Betfred Super League with 13 victories from their final 18.
They travel to fourth-placed Catalans Dragons for an elimination tie on Friday and Sezer said: “In the context of the season, we are where we want to be and that’s in the play-offs.”
But he stressed: “I think a club like Leeds demands success and as a playing group we want to challenge for things.

“We have got an opportunity now and the most important thing for us is to perform well as a team.
“We have probably been far from our best the last few weeks, but we’ve been getting results. Hopefully this week we perform well and get a result.”
Sezer was the match-winner when Rhinos beat Catalans 36-32 in extra-time at the end of July.
He missed last week’s return to Stade Gilbert Brutus, which Rhinos lost 32-18, through suspension, but his try clinched the victory over Castleford Tigers to seal a place in the play-offs.
“It’ll be a tough game down there, but we are used to the travel now,” Sezer said.
“It is only going to help us, the experience of the day and the trip.
“We got a win there the first time around and the boys fell a bit short the second time, but we know what it entails and it will be good for our preparation.”
Sezer’s golden-point try six weeks ago secured Rhinos’ first win at Catalans since 2017, after they trailed 30-6 in the second-half and had prop Matt Prior sent-off.
They staged a mini-fightback during last week’s visit, having been 28-6 behind at half-time and Sezer reckons lessons have been learned.
“Stopping their go-forward will help us,” he said. “Both times we’ve played there they have dominated us through the middle, their big bodies - [Sam] Kasiano, [Gil] Dudson and co.
“We need to tighten our defence and hopefully stop them and that will enable us to nullify the quality players in their attack line.”
Rhinos are beginning to make a habit of late comebacks, but Sezer admitted they don’t want to be chasing the game this week.
He said: “We’ve always come back pretty good in the second half, we’ve been doing that against most opposition all year.
“We just need to make sure we start fast against Catalans and nullifying their big men when they are full of juice will help us get the result.”
But being able to win games at the death has given Rhinos confidence for their play-off campaign, Sezer admitted.
He said: “The belief in the group was always there.
“It was far from a good performance against Cas, but we got the job done and now we’ve got an opportunity to go again.
“I think regular-season form goes out of the window when it comes to the play-offs.
“It is do or die rugby and we know we are going to have to prepare well and go down there and play well against a team who have been in a Grand Final in the last 12 months.”

A coalition of moneyed donors has come together and is serving as the financial backing trying to stop a new ag processing plant from opening on the outskirts of Sioux Falls, according to a report filed by the Argus Leader:
Nearly all of the funding comes from five contributions from entities: POET LLC, and JDS Industries, each of which donated $25,000, Elgethun Capital and Cellular Only 41st, each of which donated $10,000 and GL Management, LLC, which donated $5,000.
Another $10,000 was donated by Todd Broin, the younger brother of POET CEO Jeff Broin. Other donors include $2,000 from philanthropist Joe Kirby and $2,500 from David Bockorny, the CEO of a Washington, D.C.-based government affairs consulting firm.
and..
Gov. Kristi Noem said last week the ballot measure “puts every single project we do in South Dakota in jeopardy in the future,” adding she’s aware of projects that have already pulled out of the state after watching the fight.
According to the report, the vast lion’s share of the money raised to date appears to have been spent on salaries, which brings into question whether the opposition was organic, versus a few people with cash hiring petitioners.

Dermapharm Holding SE publishes H1 2022 financial report, confirms outlook for 2022 overall
» Consolidated revenue up year on year by 10.1% to EUR 471.1 million
» Adjusted consolidated EBITDA grew by 8.5% to EUR 148.7 million
» Adjusted consolidated EBITDA margin: 31.6%
» Broadly diversified product portfolio is a key success factor
» Outlook for 2022 confirmed
Grünwald, 7 September 2022 – Dermapharm Holding SE ("Dermapharm"), a rapidly growing manufacturer of off-patent branded pharmaceuticals for selected therapeutic areas in Germany, today published its report on the first half of 2022. Dermapharm also confirmed its preliminary consolidated figures (IFRS).
According to the finalised and reviewed IFRS consolidated figures, Dermapharm lifted its revenue in H1 2022 by 10.1% to EUR 471.1 million (previous year: EUR 427.8 million). Adjusted for non-recurring items amounting to EUR 6.1 million, the Group"s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 8.5% to EUR 148.7 million (previous year: EUR 137.0 million). Our adjusted consolidated EBITDA margin declined by a mere 0.4 percentage points to 31.6% (previous year: 32.0%). Unadjusted consolidated EBITDA for the first six months of 2022 amounted to EUR 142.6 million (previous year: EUR 134.6 million), representing a sharp increase of 5.9%. The unadjusted consolidated EBITDA margin also declined slightly by 1.2 percentage points to 30.3% (previous year: 31.5%).
The Company"s performance in the first half of 2022 was in line with projections. "We are pleased to announce a successful first half of the year despite having to contend with difficult conditions. Once again, our broadly diversified product portfolio enabled us to counterbalance fluctuations within individual product groups. We are continuing to systematically implement our growth strategy, and have made good progress in this regard during the first half of the year – thanks primarily to the outstanding dedication of our employees around the world. With our binding offer at the end of July 2022 to buy the French company Arkopharma – the market leader for food supplements on France"s pharmacies market – we have laid the foundations for further growth and in the coming year will continue to push forward with our focus on internationalisation, particularly in western and southern Europe", said Dr Hans-Georg Feldmeier, Chairman of the Board of Management of Dermapharm Holding SE.
"Branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products" is the strongest segment – "Parallel import business" continues to grow
The "Branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products" segment accounted for the greatest share of the Group"s revenue and earnings in H1 2022, with revenues up 9.8% to EUR 297.7 million during that period (previous year: EUR 271.2 million). The unadjusted EBITDA in the first six months of the year rose by 4.7% to EUR 134.8 million (previous year: EUR 128.7 million). The unadjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 2.2 percentage points year on year to 45.3% (previous year: 47.5%). This increase in revenue and earnings was due to the sustained high demand for products that strengthen the immune system, the vaccine production in cooperation with BioNTech SE, and organic growth in this segment.
In the "Herbal extracts" segment, revenue rose by 32.1% to EUR 51.9 million in the first half of 2022 (previous year: EUR 39.3 million). Unadjusted EBITDA grew by 8.3% to EUR 9.1 million (previous year: EUR 8.4 million). The unadjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 3.7 percentage points to 17.6% (previous year: 21.3%). The increase in revenue was due mainly to the contributions of AB Cernelle and C3 Group. The global increase in demand for herbal extracts also had a noticeable positive effect.
In the "Parallel import business" segment, the negative trend of recent months was brought to a halt. In the first half of 2022, revenue grew by 3.7% to EUR 121.5 million (previous year: EUR 117.2 million). Unadjusted EBITDA improved in tandem by 166.7% to EUR 2.4 million (previous year: EUR 0.9 million). This translates to a 2.0% unadjusted EBITDA margin (previous year: 0.8%). This increase was due on the one hand to the optimisation of operating processes and on the other to a year-on-year rise in demand for OTC products. However, a continued decline in the overall market for reimports as well as higher discounts to health insurance organisations in connection with the German Act for More Safety in the Supply of Pharmaceuticals (Gesetz für mehr Sicherheit in der Arzneimittelversorgung, "GSAV") continued to weigh down the segment"s results.
Board of Management confirms outlook for 2022 overall
After a successful first half of 2022, the Board of Management is pleased to confirm its forecast for the full year and continues to expect an increase in consolidated revenue by between 10% and 13%, as well as an increase in adjusted consolidated EBITDA by between 3% and 7%.
Change in the Management Board
Hilde Neumeyer has left the company. She will be succeeded as Chief Financial Officer by Christof Dreibholz (55) on 1 November 2022. As an auditor and tax consultant, Mr Dreibholz has many years of experience in the areas of finance, controlling and accounting. Mr Dreibholz has been employed by Deloitte since 2002 and has been responsible for the implementation of financial due diligence projects as a partner since 2008. Mr Dreibholz has advised the Dermapharm Group on numerous national and international acquisitions and therefore knows the structures of the Dermapharm Group very well.

(excluding segment reconciliation/Group holding company)

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1474; (P) 1.1541; (R1) 1.1588; More…
GBP/USD down trend resumed after brief recovery and intraday bias is back on the downside. Firm break of 1.1409 long term support will pave the way to 61.8% projection of 1.3748 to 1.1759 from 1.2292 at 1.1063 next. On the upside, however, break of 1.1608 minor resistance should now indicate short term bottoming, and turn bias back to the upside for stronger rebound.
In the bigger picture, based on current momentum, fall from 1.4248 (2018 high) is probably resuming long term down trend from 2.1161 (2007 high). Sustained break of 1.1409 will target 61.8% projection of 1.7190 (2014 high) to 1.1409 (2020 low) from 1.4248 (2021 high) at 1.0675. This will remain the favored case for now as long as 1.2292 resistance holds.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany is well-placed to get through this winter with enough energy thanks to efforts to shore up supplies in the face of Russian gas delivery cuts, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Wednesday, dismissing criticism from the opposition.
Center-right opposition leader Friedrich Merz charged in parliament that Scholz’s three-party coalition lacks any “strategic thinking” and assailed a decision this week to stick in principle to a long-held plan to shut down Germany’s last three nuclear power plants at the end of this year. The government, he said, “may be damaging German companies irreparably.”
An unusually combative Scholz responded that his coalition has worked since it took office in December to prepare for problems that ministers from Merz’s party in the previous government failed to anticipate.
He pointed to a decision to require filling natural gas storage facilities for the fuel used to heat homes, generate electricity and power industry.
Those facilities are now over 86% full, at a time when Russia has cut off gas supplies through the main pipeline to Germany, Nord Stream 1, as tensions mount over the war in Ukraine. Russia started reducing gas deliveries via that route in mid-June, citing alleged technical problems. German officials dismissed that excuse as a political gambit.
Scholz noted that his government has moved to build liquefied natural gas terminals, the first of which are due to open this winter, and reactivate coal-fired power plants.
Germany is “in a situation in which we can say we will probably get through this winter, despite all the tensions, with the preparations we have made,” Scholz said. “No one could have said that three, four, five months ago, or at the beginning of this year.”
“Because we started so early … we are now in a position in which we can go bravely and courageously into this winter, in which our country will withstand this,” he said.
While the nuclear shutdown is supposed to go ahead as scheduled, the government wants to keep the option of reactivating two of the three reactors in case of an energy shortage in the coming months.
Merz, who has urged a three- or four-year extension of the reactors’ lives, said the decision was a “bad compromise.” He urged Scholz to “stop this madness.”
Scholz, who suggested that Merz was overly fixated on nuclear power, defended the decision. He said, “You’re simply talking past the issue and the problems of this country.”
One power plant operator PreussenElektra, a subsidiary of energy giant E.ON, cast doubt Wednesday on how easy it would be to keep its Isar 2 reactor in reserve and switch it back on at short notice.
Germany’s economy minister, Robert Habeck, expressed surprise at those concerns, telling reporters in Berlin that the government plans to give operators sufficient advance notice if their reactors are needed so they can be safely fired up again and run until mid-April.
“It’s obvious that this passed the technicians at PreussenElektra by,” he said.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Public Schools canceled Wednesday’s first day of school after teachers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike over issues that include pay, mental health support, and staffing ratios for special education and multilingual students.
Seattle Education Association President Jennifer Matter announced Tuesday that 95% of ballots returned by the union’s membership favored going on strike absent an agreement with Seattle Public Schools. Contract talks continued.
“No one wants to strike,” Matter said. “But SPS has given us no choice. We can’t go back to the way things have been.”
The district said in an email to parents that it was “optimistic the bargaining teams will come to a positive solution for students, staff, and families.”
Districts around the country have faced labor challenges as the pandemic put extraordinary stress on teachers and students alike. An infusion of federal stimulus money has helped stabilize school district budgets, and teachers unions have sought to improve pay, resources and and working conditions after a difficult few years.
High inflation, a national teacher shortage and the goodwill teachers earned from their pandemic-schooling efforts are all bolstering union efforts, said Bradley Marianno, an assistant professor of education policy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
“By all measures, school budgets actually look pretty good right now,” Marianno said. “So as teachers union contracts are expiring, they’re looking for new deals that essentially send more funding to teachers and more funding to students.”
School in the Seattle suburb of Kent was supposed to start Aug. 25 but has been delayed as teachers there strike.
Teachers in Columbus — Ohio’s largest school district — last week ended a brief strike, agreeing on a package that included 4% raises, includes plans for building improvements, reduced class sizes and innovative paid leave benefits.
In Denver, marathon bargaining sessions resulted last week in tentative agreement for an 8.7% raise for educators, a higher salary for first-year teachers, and more money from the district for health insurance costs.
Teachers in Minneapolis, Chicago and Sacramento walked out earlier this year before securing new contracts.
In Seattle, the school district has offered pay raises of an additional 1% above the 5.5% cost-of-living increase set by state lawmakers — far less than the union says it wants — plus one-time bonuses for certain teachers, including $2,000 for third-year Seattle teachers earning an English language or dual-language endorsement.
The union says it is opposing the district’s efforts to eliminate staffing ratios for special education students, saying that will mean more work for general education teachers and special education teachers alike. The union also says the district’s proposals would make general education teachers more responsible for supporting multilingual students.
In a video released by the union, speech language pathologist Julie Salazar said she voted to authorize the strike because caseloads for her and other special education staff are too high.
“We can’t serve our kids well and everybody knows it,” she said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joey Gallo blasted a go-ahead, three-run homer in the second inning, Max Muncy added a pair of solo shots and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3 on Tuesday night.
The NL West leaders reduced their magic number to seven and improved to 11-4 against their rival this season. All of the game’s runs came on homers.
Muncy, who came in hitting .186, went 3 for 4 and drove in three runs, satisfied at how the ball came off his bat.
“Home runs are obviously amazing and I’m happy I hit them, but just seeing the ball fly at the path is better,” he said. “I made a couple mechanical adjustments right before the game.”
Tyler Anderson (14-3) allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings. The left-hander struck out three and walked two. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth to earn his 22nd save.
Muncy doubled leading off the second and Justin Turner walked before Gallo’s 408-foot shot to the right-field pavilion off Jarlin García (1-4) put the Dodgers ahead, 3-1.
Gallo’s bat had a small crack near the handle; he wasn’t sure if it was already broken or broke on the swing.
Gallo was acquired a month ago after a disastrous stint with the New York Yankees. The two-time All-Star’s homer was his fourth with the Dodgers and 16th overall. He made a nifty diving catch in left field that saved two potential runs and ended the second.
“I enjoy being here,” he said. “The lineup we have takes a lot of pressure off. I’m just kind of here. Anybody can take over a game.”
The Dodgers extended their lead to 5-1 on Muncy’s two-out, two-run homer to the right-field pavilion on the first pitch from García in the third.
García gave up five runs and four hits in 1 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked one.
Muncy went deep to the left-field pavilion against Dominic Leone leading off the sixth.
Lewis Brinson homered on the first pitch of the game and Brandon Crawford added a two-run shot in the sixth for the Giants, who had their four-game winning streak snapped a night after hitting five homers in a 7-4 victory.
Right-hander John Brebbia opened the bullpen game for the Giants, allowing one hit in one inning.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Giants: Reinstated C Joey Bart from seven-day concussion list for his start behind the plate.
Dodgers: RHP Tony Gonsolin (forearm) played catch again but has residual soreness. Manager Dave Roberts remains optimistic the 16-game winner can be “fully ramped up” in time for the postseason. … INF-OF Gavin Lux (neck) won’t be going on the IL, Roberts said.
WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC
Dodgers left-hander Julio Urías says he’ll pitch for Mexico in next year’s World Baseball Classic.
He joins LA teammates Mookie Betts, Trea Turner and Will Smith who will represent the U.S. and Freddie Freeman, who’ll play for Canada, during the event in March.
Urías represented his country as a teenager, but the WBC will be the first time he does so as a professional. The Mexican left-hander hoped to pitch in the 2017 WBC, but the Dodgers wanted to limit their top prospect’s workload.
UP NEXT
Giants: RHP Alex Cobb (5-6, 3.58 ERA) is enjoying a strong second half. He struck out seven against the Phillies in his last start.
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (7-3, 2.59) has a 1.99 ERA and 380 strikeouts in 55 career starts against the Giants.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson Daniels is pleased to announce the addition of Domaine Faiveley to its national portfolio beginning January 1, 2023. Since founding the Domaine in 1825, the Faiveley family has been committed to creating wines of exceptional purity that represent the unique character of Burgundy's diverse terroirs. Today, led by seventh generation Erwan and Eve Faiveley, Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest owners of vineyards in Burgundy totaling 331 acres, of which 30 acres are grands crus and 67 acres are premiers crus.
"I am absolutely thrilled to welcome the Faiveley family to Wilson Daniels," said Rocco Lombardo, President of Wilson Daniels. "Across seven generations, the family's deep attachment to the Bourgogne region and instinctive passion for its terroirs have allowed them to assemble an unparalleled portfolio of vineyard holdings, from the Côte Chalonnaise extending north to the Côte de Nuits. The Faiveleys have always remained steadfast in their commitment to family, regional heritage, and hard work to curate wines of distinction and longevity. These are values we also share at Wilson Daniels, and our team is both humbled and proud to begin representing Domaine Faiveley in the US at the start of the new year."
Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley, and over the years, the winery has been shaped by each generation through its judicious acquisition of remarkable climats. In addition to laying the groundwork for a strong export business with the family's first exports to Northern Europe, second generation Joseph Faiveley acquired the Monopole Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru and several parcels in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Under third generation François Faiveley, the family further expanded its holdings in Nuits-Saint-Georges and purchased the iconic Clos-de-Vougeot Grand Cru parcel.
During the economic crisis of the 1930s, the charismatic Georges Faiveley (fourth generation) co-founded the 'Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin' brotherhood as a means of bringing his friends together to enjoy their wines at a time when few were able to purchase them. The success of the brotherhood contributed to the revival of Burgundy, and Georges was able to purchase prestigious grands crus and premiers crus climats in Chambertin. Georges was also granted a 30-year lease for several parcels in the Côte Chalonnaise, which his son Guy Faiveley went on to purchase in 1963.
François Faiveley, the sixth generation, joined the Domaine in 1976, and followed in his forefathers' footsteps by purchasing vine parcels in the Montagny and Mercurey appellations as well as two renowned monopoles, the Premier Cru Clos des Issarts Monopole in Gevrey-Chambertin and Premier Cru Clos de l'Ecu Monopole in Beaune. His wines are rich and concentrated, and known for their exceptional longevity.
In 2005, Erwan Faiveley, François' son, assumed the helm of Domaine Faiveley, and his first initiative was to invest in new winemaking facilities, thus ensuring the continued excellence of the wines. In 2014, Erwan was joined by his sister Eve, the first daughter in seven generations, and together they work to preserve the legacy of the Domaine for future generations. As part of this effort, the Domaine obtained its High Environmental Value Certification (HVE) in 2019, serving as a testament to its careful cultivation practices and desire to keep environmental impact to a minimum.
"We are privileged to have inherited such a rich winemaking legacy from our father and the generations before, and it's our duty to do everything we can to honor that heritage," said Erwan Faiveley. "My sister and I see ourselves as stewards of the Domaine, and with Wilson Daniels, we've found a partner who not only appreciates our commitment to heritage and excellence, but also intimately understands the nuances of the fine wine world in the US. We're excited to embark on this new partnership, and look forward to sharing our wines with Wilson Daniels' range of customers and collectors."
On January 1, 2023, Wilson Daniels will assume national representation of the full range from Domaine Faiveley.
Founded in 1978, Wilson Daniels is a fully integrated, family-owned marketing and sales company representing a highly selective portfolio of the world's most distinctive wines. Wilson Daniels continues to pursue and elevate the standards of excellence set by founders Win Wilson and Jack Daniels through developing long-term, strategic partnerships with luxury producers that possess profound respect for terroir and are benchmarks in their region.

Fulton County prosecutors have lost a legal skirmish to get an out-of-state witness to testify before the Fulton County special purpose grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump and his allies.
The recent ruling by the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas is a victory for Dallas-based attorney and podcast host Jacki Pick and could also be good news for Houston-based attorney Sidney Powell, who has been given her own out-of-state subpoena to come testify.
The special grand jury, convened in May, is investigating what happened in Georgia in the weeks and months after the 2020 presidential election.
Pick testified at a state legislative hearing on Dec. 3, 2020, and presented selected portions of security video footage taken election night at State Farm Arena, according to court filings. It purported to show election workers producing “suitcases” of unlawful ballots to be counted in favor of Biden. The doctored video has been repeatedly debunked by both state and federal authorities.
On July 5, Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney signed a certificate finding Pick was a “necessary and material” witness who needed to come to Georgia and testify. Pick’s attorneys then filed a challenge before a Dallas County, Texas, judge, who ordered Pick to go to Atlanta and testify.
Pick then took her case to the Court of Criminal Appeals. On Sept. 1, the court issued an opinion that noted Pick’s subpoena required her to testify sometime between July 12 and Aug. 31. Because that period had elapsed, it was now a moot issue and she was no longer required to go to Atlanta, the court ruled.
Because the nine-member court did not rule on the merits of Pick’s challenge, the Fulton DA’s office can petition McBurney for a new out-of-state subpoena for Pick. But Fulton prosecutors could be in for an uphill climb.
In two of the opinions issued in Pick’s case, a majority of the Court of Criminal Appeals seems poised to deny any future out-of-state subpoena petition.
Judge Kevin Yeary, joined by three colleagues, wrote that witnesses from Texas subpoenaed to testify in other states must do so when those grand jury proceedings are “criminal” in nature. Because the special purpose grand jury in Fulton lacks the power to indict, it does not appear to fit the criteria required to compel Pick’s testimony, Yeary wrote.
This is contrary to a ruling issued last week by McBurney. He ruled Fulton’s special purpose grand jury is conducting a criminal investigation when he denied Gov. Brian Kemp’s motion to quash his subpoena to testify. McBurney ruled Kemp must honor his subpoena after the November general elections.
The other Court of Criminal Appeals opinion was written by Judge Bert Richardson, who said he shared the same concerns expressed by Yeary. And he noted that, in 1951, Texas and Georgia entered into an interstate agreement to secure witnesses from the other states to appear before their grand juries. Georgia’s special purpose grand juries, which were first established in 1974, were not part of that agreement, Richardson wrote.
With five of the court’s nine judges expressing skepticism over the ability of a Georgia special purpose grand jury to compel testimony from witnesses in Texas, this looming precedent could benefit Powell. She worked briefly on the Trump campaign’s legal team attempt to overturn the 2020 election outcome.
Powell is also part of a GBI investigation into an alleged breach of elections data in Coffee County in January 2021. Previously disclosed documents indicate that Powell paid Atlanta tech firm SullivanStrickler for the data extraction.
Security camera video made public Tuesday shows that a phony elector who tried to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential election escorted a group of computer experts into the elections office in Coffee County. The recording is the latest evidence of an effort by supporters of former President Donald Trump to take sensitive data from voting equipment manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems in several states.
Powell made unfounded claims against Dominion, which has sued her for $1.3 billion in damages. She is scheduled to appear before the Fulton special purpose grand jury on September 22.

The meteorite that wiped out Earth’s dinosaurs instantly ignited forest wildfires up to thousands of kilometres from its impact zone, scientists have discovered.
The meteorite that wiped out Earth’s dinosaurs instantly ignited forest wildfires up to thousands of kilometres from its impact zone, scientists have discovered.
The roughly six-mile-wide meteorite struck the Yucatan peninsula in what is now Mexico at the end of the Cretaceous Period 66 million years ago.
Its devastating impact brought the reign of the dinosaurs to an abrupt end by triggering their sudden mass extinction, along with the end of almost three-quarters of the plant and animal species then living on Earth, scientists say.
Debate has surrounded the circumstances behind the devastating wildfires known to have been caused by the strike, with several theories as to how and when they started, and the extent of their impact.
By analysing rocks dating to the time of the strike, a team of geoscientists from the UK, Mexico and Brazil has recently discovered that some of the fires broke out within minutes, at most, of the impact, in areas stretching up to 2,500km (1,553 miles) or more from where Earth was hit.
In a newly published study, they said wildfires that broke out in coastal areas were short-lived, as the backwash from the mega-tsunami caused by the impact swept charred trees offshore.
And by studying the fossilised tree bark, the geoscientists discovered that fires had already begun by the time the trees were washed away soon after the initial impact.
They concluded that this was either due to a fireball of epic magnitude, or by the heat from droplets of melted rock falling back through the atmosphere in the immediate aftermath of impact.
Professor Ben Kneller, from the University of Aberdeen’s School of Geosciences, is among the co-authors of the latest study, which included scientists from the Autonomous University of Mexico, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, University of Leeds and University of Manchester.
He said: “Until now it has not been clear whether the fires were caused as a direct result of the impact or subsequently, as vegetation killed by the post-impact darkness caused by the debris thrown up into the atmosphere was set ablaze by things such as lightning strikes.
“By assembling this international team we were able to apply a unique combination of chemical, isotopic, palaeontological, palaeobotanical, chemical and spectroscopic techniques, along with geological mapping, firstly to confirm that the rocks we analysed date precisely from the impact.
“We then analysed fossilised bark still attached to the tree trunks to determine the extent of the burning, finding that the bark was already charred as the trees were washed away by the impact-related tsunami. This shows that the fires must have begun within minutes, at most, of impact.
“Ultimately our research confirms how and when these devastating fires were begun and paints a vivid and quite terrifying picture of what happened in the immediate aftermath of the meteorite strike.”
The study was supported by Shell Brazil under the Brazilian Government’s Science without Borders programme, and published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Why Domonique Foxworth is picking Eagles to reach Super Bowl LVII
Why former CB says Eagles will reach the Super Bowl originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
In case you've missed it, the Eagles hype train is up and running and just about threatening to roll off the rails ahead of Week 1 in Detroit.
Between a fleshed-out roster and a recent trade to spark the interest of national observers, plenty of folks think the Eagles could win the NFC East and go on a little playoff run.
But could the Eagles really be... back in the Super Bowl come February?
MORE: Top 5 questions surrounding Eagles going into opener
That's what former NFL cornerback and current ESPN analyst Domonique Foxworth is predicting. Foxworth, who spent six seasons between the Broncos, Falcons, and Ravens from 2005 to 2011, made his NFL predictions on an episode of The Domonique Foxworth Show.
Here's how he explained putting the Birds in Super Bowl LVII:
"Their roster is incredible. Their quarterback is average to above average. The situation is outstanding. What it comes to, when I look at my final four, I feel like I'm a sucker for institutional stability.
"[...]
"Nick Sirianni seems like he's growing into the job well. They are a stable institution, and damn if they're not one of the most talented teams I've ever seen - just, again, you know how I feel about secondary play and they've got corners for days. That is a weak spot on every team, just about, and they've got corners.
"[...]
"Every position that you think about that is kind of important, they got guys there. They've got two Pro Bowl-level offensive tackles; they've got two Pro Bowl-level corners, maybe three; they've got D tackles in Cox, Jordan [Davis] ... they've got two All-Pro level receivers, or at least Pro Bowl-level receivers, and a quarterback who is comfortable in big situations, has athleticism to change the count in the running attack, can serviceably run the RPO, though he's got a little bit of the thing that we hold against Lamar Jackson in that, if you're down by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and everybody knows you need to drop back, it's gonna be harder for him to do it.
"They seem like a team - again, because of institutional ability - that I really like."
I don't know if Foxworth is on the Eagles payroll yet, but he should be because that just fired me up just about as well as any hype video can.
There might be some who can try to poke holes in Foxworth's arguments - Do the Eagles really have "corners for days"? Isn't having an average QB a problem for a title contender? - but overall you have to like his positions. The idea of a stable franchise putting together an uber-talented roster is pretty darn enticing.
I'm not ready to call the Eagles a Super Bowl team like Foxworth did here (put me down for 11 to 12 wins and I'll see where January takes us) but I won't call him crazy for it either.
Foxworth's other Super Bowl pick, by the way, is Andy Reid's Kansas City Chiefs. Can you imagine Eagles vs. Andy Reid in the big game? My goodness, the storylines.

Poor Pitching Helps Fredericksburg Clinch Playoffs
September 7, 2022 - Carolina League (CarL) - Salem Red Sox News Release
The Fredericksburg Nationals (72-54, 39-21) used a big start to run away from the Salem Red Sox (63-63, 28-32) and clinch the Carolina League North Division second half title in a 15-5 victory.
Coming into the contest with needing a win and a Carolina loss, both events occurred in the Nationals favor as they clinched their first playoff spot since the relocation to Fredericksburg in 2021.
It didn't take long for the visitors to get comfortable against Salem starter Reidis Sena (L, 0-1) as Fredericksburg piled eight runs on Salem in the opening inning.
A majority of the runs came with two outs in the inning as the 8-9 order came through with multi-RBI knocks. Already up 2-0, Branden Boissiere layed a single up the middle to double up the Nationals lead. In the next at-bat, Geraldi Diaz sent a towering drive to right-center field to give Fredericksburg the seven-run cushion.
Two at-bats later against the new Salem pitcher, Michael Valera, shortstop J.T. Arruda crushed a triple down the right field line to complete the statement inning.
That wasn't the only big inning of the night for Fredericksburg as they produced a four-run third and three-run sixth.
After coming up short in his first two at-bats, Jared McKenzie broke through with a bases-clearing double in the third. Meanwhile in the sixth, the Nationals used some-ball tactics in addition to Diaz RBI double to bring their run total to 15.
On a night that will be overshadowed by Fredericksburg's 17 hit night and division-clinching result, this game also provided an opportunity for the Salem fans to check out some new faces in the Boston organization.
Shortstop Mikey Romero, the first round selection by Boston in the 2022 draft, went 1-5 on the night while also picking up an RBI on a fielder's choice in the third. The San Diego native now has eight RBIs in his six games at Salem.
The second round selection for Boston in outfielder Roman Anthony was much stronger in his home debut with a 2-3 performance and a pair of RBIs; a single in the first and a sacrifice fly in the third.
Even Allan Castro, who was called up to Salem on Aug. 30 alongside Romero and Anthony, knocked in a run with a single in the fourth. The outfielder had two hits in the nine spot of the order.
Some of the Salem veterans also had a great night as lead-off man Brainer Bonaci had two hits which included his 19th double of the season while Tyler Miller had a pair of hits in addition to his 59th RBI of the season with a single in the eighth.
The Salem Red Sox and Fredericksburg Nationals will play game two on Wednesday starting at 7:05 p.m. at Salem Memorial Ballpark.
First Pitch: 7:05 p.m.
Time of Game: 2:57
Attendance: 1,830
Venue: Carilion Clinic Field

Dedication to Flesh is perhaps the most heavy-hitting entry in Spite’s catalog. The album – the Southern Californian upstarts’ fourth overall – is a masterclass in modern metalcore electric guitar playing, with axemen Alex Tehrani and Lucas Garrigues offering serving after serving of dissonant drop-tuned chugs and laser-precise alternate picking riffs.
Though it has brief moments of respite, Dedication to Flesh is largely 40 minutes of sonic carnage, with highlights including the cacophonous Caved In, mid-tempo riff-driven rager Hangman and The Son of Dawn, which features some of the heaviest breakdowns of the year to date.
Another standout track – The Most Ugly – sits halfway through the record, clocking in at over five minutes and containing some of its most gut-punching 7-string guitar riffs. And in this exclusive Guitar World premiere, Tehrani and Garrigues play through the track in full.
Gear-wise, both guitarists play ESP EII T-B7 baritone seven-strings fitted with Fishman Fluence pickups – Tehrani through a 100W Marshall JVM guitar amp and Garrigues through an 50W EVH 5150III.
Tehrani's pedalboard features an ISP Decimator II noise gate, Maxon OD-808 overdrive and EarthQuaker Afterneath reverb, while Garrigues' is packed with a Maxon OD and a TC Electronics Sentry noise gate.
“Playing and recording the new songs with ESP guitars just made sense,” Tehrani says. “These baritone TB-7s did exactly what they were designed to do. They held their tuning and provided a sturdy, well-balanced piece of wood to dig into.
“In my opinion, this song showcases the progression of our guitar work, but still remains true to our original sound. We broke out of the small box we were comfortable writing in and transposed to different keys, creating a different mood.”
- Spite's new album, Dedication to Flesh (opens in new tab) is out now via Rise Records.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thompson Thrift, a full-service nationally recognized real estate company and one of the nation's leading multifamily developers, announced today the development of The Depot, a 300-unit Class A multifamily community in the Kansas City suburb of Raymore. Thompson Thrift expects to break ground in September and plans to welcome new residents starting in the spring of 2024.
"The suburbs south of Kansas City have seen impressive job and population growth in recent years," said Josh Purvis, managing partner for Thompson Thrift Residential. "There is strong demand for multifamily rental options and The Depot will provide a luxury-living experience with convenient access to the area's major employers as well as a variety of retail and dining options."
Located off Dean Ave and E 171st St, The Depot will offer nine three-story buildings with one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes averaging just under 1,000 square feet. Residents will enjoy premium interior finishes including gourmet bar-kitchens with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, tiled showers with glass doors, 9-foot ceilings, wood-inspired flooring, walk-in closets with custom wood shelving and full-sized washers and dryers. The luxury-living experience will continue throughout the community with a professionally decorated clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center, resort-style swimming pool and a dog park.
The Depot sits adjacent to the Raymore Galleria, a 400,000-square-foot shopping center anchored by a Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Lowe's. The property enjoys nearby access to Interstate 49, which will provide residents with easy commutes to neighboring communities and major employers such as Cerner Corporation, Honeywell and Saint Luke's East Hospital.
The multifamily housing market in Raymore is in high demand for new development. During the past 10 years, the rate of population growth within a one-mile radius of the site has been almost double that of the larger Kansas City metro area.
The Depot will be Thompson Thrift's third community in Missouri, joining The Element and Avenue64.
During the past 30 years Thompson Thrift has developed more than $4 billion of ground-up development projects across the Midwest, Southeast and Southwest. The company made a name for itself by being one of the few developers to build Class A residential communities in markets across the country with a variety of conventional, luxury leased villa and townhome-style communities, and has become known as a trusted partner committed to developing high-quality, attractive commercial and multifamily communities.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trash Butler, the leading doorstep trash and recycling amenity solution provider for multi-family industry, has grown over 60% in the past year by landing four large national accounts, including Asset Living, and one more recently to be disclosed that manages nearly 200,000 apartment units. With the tight housing market and so many people working from home juggling life demands, the desire to save time and reduce stress has never been greater. Trash Butler is furthering its mission to give residents that sought-after time back, while also being a valuable extension of the apartment community maintenance and management staff.
As one of only two nationwide providers in the industry, Trash Butler leverages its culture, technology, and client relationships to provide solutions that solve the growing needs of the multi-family industry.

They have invested considerable resources in technology to deliver prop-tech and outsourced solutions for multi-family that improve sustainable green environment initiatives as well as solve the staffing issues faced by many apartment management firms.
In the past year, Trash Butler has grown exponentially, including a national partnership with Greystar, which is the largest multi-family management company in the world. The multi-family sector has remained strong and is projected to grow significantly as rental housing remains a priority.

Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has urged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to release the Rs 383.74 crore due for two years to the city's municipal corporation under the heads of education, health and urban development, the LG's office said on Wednesday.
Sharing a letter that Saxena wrote to Kejriwal, the LG's office said on Twitter that he has asked for the release of the funds pending for the financial years 2020-21 and 2021-22 to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Holding the funds "without any reason" is adversely impacting primary education and health in Delhi, the LG said in his letter to the chief minister.
The issue of release of funds was a major point of tussle between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that ruled the three erstwhile civic bodies in the city since 2007. "It has been brought to my notice that Rs 383.74 crore for the year 2020-21 and 2021-22 under the plan heads of urban development, education and medical have not been released to the MCD by the urban development department of the Delhi government," Saxena said in the letter.
As against the revised budget estimates approved for Rs 3,768.64 crore under the said plan heads during the financial years 2020-21 and 2021-22, only Rs 3,384.90 crore were released, resulting in a shortfall of Rs 383.74 crore, the letter pointed out. The LG's office also shared figures of the revised estimates, the funds received and the shortfall amount.
The maximum shortfall was Rs 212.29 crore under the head of education, Rs 115.19 crore under medical and Rs 56.26 crore under urban development. "The grant is specially for operation and development of infrastructure related to schools, hospitals, dispensaries, roads, footpaths, among others, which impact the daily life of the citizens of Delhi," the LG said. "The grant is specially for operation and development of infrastructure related to schools, hospitals, dispensaries, roads, footpaths, among others, which impact the daily life of the citizens of Delhi," the LG said.
He also pointed out that the budget estimates for the MCD were approved by the Assembly and it was incumbent upon the urban development department to release the funds to the civic body on time. It was also cited in the letter that the funds were "unfairly" withheld by the Delhi government's urban development department, despite several requests from the MCD.
"In the larger interest of the citizens of Delhi, I request you to ensure that Rs 383.74 crore for the financial years 2020-21 and 2021-22 unfairly withheld by the urban development department are made available to the MCD at the earliest," the LG said in his letter to Kejriwal. The revised estimate for 2020-21 was Rs 2,380.36 crore, of which an amount of Rs 2,076.72 crore was received and the shortfall was Rs 303.64 crore. In 2021-22, the revised estimate was Rs 1,388.28 crore, the receipt was Rs 1,308.18 crore and the shortfall Rs 80.1 crore.

Khalistani Terrorist Gajinder Singh Reveals Pakistan as His Location via Facebook
New Delhi: Khalistani terrorist and an accused hijacker of a 1981 Indian Airlines plane Gajinder Singh is currently in Pakistan. In early September, the co-founder of Khalistani terrorist organisation Dal Khalsa posted two of his photographs respectively on September 1 and 5.
Gajinder posted a photograph of himself posing in front of Gurudwara Shri Panja Sahib located in Hasan Abdal of Punjab province on his Facebook profile.
The Khalistani terrorist was first hit the headlines when his involvement in the 1981 hijacking of the Indian Airlines Boeing-737 domestic passenger flight established. The IA domestic passenger aircraft had taken off from Delhi airport and was scheduled to land in Amritsar.
In the meantime, five terrorists hijacked the Indian Airlines aircraft, which was carrying 111 passengers, and forcibly diverted the Amritsar-bound to Lahore. The hijacking incident took place on September 29, 1981.
According to reports, the hijackers demanded the formation of a separate State for Sikhs, what they call “Khalistan”. Gajinder Singh was the leader of the hijackers.
The Pakistan judiciary ran a trial in the aircraft hijacking case and sentenced the hijackers to life imprisonment. However, in October 1994, they were released from prison. The Indian government has repeatedly made requests to Pakistan to deport Singh, who has been on India's most wanted list since 2002, but the neighbouring country kept denying that he lived in Pakistan.
Gajinder Singh’s name has also come up in the cricketer Arshdeep Singh’s missing catch row. He is found to be involved in attempts to fanning the recent Khalistani narrative against Arshdeep Singh following India-Pakistan T20 match in the ongoing Asia Cup.
Also Read: Afternoon Rain Brings Hyderabad Traffic to Standstill, Forecast for More Rains in Telangana
His post in Punjabi read, “Arshdeep Singh, the Sikh player of the Indian cricket team, has been in a lot of discussions for two days. Arshdeep’s missed catch during India’s match against Pakistan, in which India lost, led to a campaign against him by Indian nationalists calling him a Khalistani. The best answer to this Indian campaign is that we all say openly, ‘I am also Khalistani’ or ‘I am proud to be a Khalistani. How nice it would be if Arshdeep Singh and other Sikh sportsmen would openly say that they are proud to be Khalistani.”

Disney’s D23 Expo is back for 2022, with plenty of new reveals and updates for Marvel games to be shown. Whether you’re a hardcore Avengers fan or a Spider-Man lover, here’s what to expect at the Marvel and Disney Games Showcase 2022.
Since March 2009, Disney have celebrated the past and present of their movies, games, and more at the D23 Expo. While the event is also a great chance for The Official Disney Fan Club to cosplay as their favorite characters and band together with fellow fans, it is also an opportunity for developers to show off the latest games coming from under the Marvel banner.
The Marvel and Disney Games Showcase is set to be one of D23’s biggest events yet, as developers such as Crystal Dynamics and Respawn Entertainment are touted to make appearances.
What to expect at the Marvel and Disney Games Showcase 2022
The showcase is set to dive into the latest projects coming from both Marvel and Disney. Though these aren’t confirmed, here are some games that are likely to appear during the event.
Marvel’s Avengers
Marvel’s Avengers has certainly had a rocky road since its launch in 2020, but the game has kept on course, thanks to the addition of a next-gen update that breathed new life into it. New characters such as Black Panther, Spider-Man, Hawkeye and Kate Bishop have also arrived, with Bucky Barnes set to be the next playable hero. However, players are still eager to know what the game’s future holds in the wake of the Embracer Group merger this year.
Crystal Dynamics have only revealed brief information about Bucky’s arrival, as well as the long-awaited Cloning Labs mode and new Villain Sectors. The showcase would be a great time to reassure players that Marvel’s Avengers is truly here to stay.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Despite its delay to 2023, Firaxis’s card-based take on the Marvel universe is likely to debut some new footage, as well more in-depth looks at the characters themselves. Midnight Suns is a departure from traditional Marvel affair, opting to pit players into the strategy genre, rather than all-out punch-ups. We’re certainly looking forward to teaming up as Wolverine and Ghost Rider.
Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga DLC
Even though Lego Stars: The Skywalker Saga has every main story under the sun in-game, it seems there are more stories to explore within Telltale Games’ latest Lego game. Six months have passed since its release and though there have been small trickles of content along the way, the game is certainly ready for a boost in gameplay.
Could we see the likes of a full-on Solo or Rogue One expansion appear? Or maybe even some more Mandalorian content? D23 Expo holds all the answers.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor
The follow-up to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is already set to be one of 2023’s most exciting releases. Picking up five years after the first entry, Respawn Entertainment’s sequel follows Cal Kestis down a complex journey of mastering his Jedi prowess, while facing off against new and familiar foes. Though a teaser was released earlier this year, details on the new Star Wars game are still light. Let’s hope Respawn Entertainment brings the goods.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
The wait for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 really is excruciating. Even though we’ve had remasters and a Miles Morales spin-off to dive into, we’re ready for the next adventure. It is possible that Insomniac Games may choose to save Spider-Man 2 for the next PlayStation State of Play event. With the future of the MCU likely to be expanded upon at D23 on the movie side of things, it sure would be a grand opportunity to get Spidey into the spotlight.
We’re sure there will be plenty of surprises in store, so be sure to check back in with us as more news develops.

(CNN)Peter Straub, an author who helped usher in our decades-long fascination with horror fiction, had a way of weaving macabre and heart-wrenching prose into one sentence. Even stories about ghostly hauntings, sinister parallel universes or grisly murders could feel mournful, sensitive and cathartic in Straub's hands.
From his seminal 1979 novel, "Ghost Story": "Nobody can protect anybody else from vileness. Or from pain. All you can do is not let it break you in half and keep on going until you get to the other side."
An influence and friend to authors like Stephen King, Joe Hill, Neil Gaiman and many more, Straub left an indelible mark on the world of horror and fantasy fiction, helping to elevate it from disregarded pulp to a genre of consequence and depth.
Straub died on Sunday at 79, his daughter, the author Emma Straub, confirmed on social media. His wife, Susan, told the New York Times he died from complications after breaking his hip.
Straub turned childhood trauma into a celebrated horror career
Born in Wisconsin, Straub's childhood was shattered by a traumatic event in the first grade: He was hit by a car (referred to as a "classic near-death experience" on his website), an incident that left him with nightmares for nearly three decades of his life -- until, that is, he started writing horror fiction.
"I was way less a child than I had been beforehand," he said of the accident in a 2016 interview with Salon. "Once I did understand the consequences then I was far more able to deal with them. It meant also that I had that material available for conscious thematic use."
After releasing two novels to little fanfare, Straub made his first foray into the supernatural with 1975's "Julia," which follows a grieving woman haunted by the specter of a child that may or may not be her own. His breakthrough, though, came with "Ghost Story," a tale of four elderly men who trade ghost stories until they suspect they're being haunted themselves. Both of those books were later adapted into films.
"Ghost Story" earned Straub a lifelong admirer -- and occasional collaborator -- in King, who by then had published books like "Carrie" and "The Shining." (Their output helped cement genre fiction as a legitimate artform.) The two collaborated on the fantasy epic "The Talisman" in 1984, which followed a boy attempting to save his mother's life while navigating a dangerous parallel universe, and again for its 2001 sequel.
King, reacting to news of Straub's death, called their collaborations "one of the great joys of (his) creative life."
Straub used his writing not only as a vessel for his childhood trauma but as a means to explore the more painful elements of being alive. In his work, he explored childhood bullying, losing a family member, abuse and suicide, among other themes.
"There's a lot of stuff that I think people in general prefer to back away from that I simply cannot back away from, temperamentally, because I don't think we have the whole world in mind or in view unless we also include these things," he told Salon. "Those kinds of things are of immense importance in allowing us to see what's going on around us in the proper way."
Straub continued to write throughout his life, from 1988's Vietnam War-inspired "Koko" to the 2016 short story collection "Interior Darkness." He resisted labeling his oeuvre as exclusively horror -- there were elements of the macabre and supernatural, yes, but he found them to be as complex as life is: "Honest to God, to me all those stories seem to be accurate representations of real life," he wrote on his website.
Straub was beloved by fellow authors
Outside of horror, Straub had a thriving personal life: He met his wife, Susan, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison after saving her from a rogue bee, and the two bibliophiles immediately connected. Susan Straub established the long-running "Read to Me" literacy program, which encouraged mothers to read to their young children. The pair had two children themselves, Ben and Emma.
Straub was a lifelong lover of and expert in jazz music -- under the "Peter Straub Recommends" section of his website, many of the albums he lists are jazz. (The admiration between musicians and Straub was mutual: the indie legend Nick Cave took inspiration from Straub's work for several songs.) He also briefly moonlighted as a soap opera actor, appearing on several episodes of "One Life to Live" as a former police detective.
His daughter recently published "This Time Tomorrow," fiction loosely inspired by months she spent visiting Straub in 2020 when he was hospitalized for heart problems. In her book, a woman visiting her ailing father in the hospital suddenly travels back in time to her 16th birthday and re-meets the younger, spry version of her father.
"That book, and our mutual understanding, meant that when he died, I didn't doubt for a second that he knew how grateful I was to be his, and vice versa," Emma Straub wrote on Twitter following her father's death.
Fellow horror writers remembered Peter Straub as a a friend as kind as he was talented: Joe Hill, author and King's son, called him "the most incredibly lovely man to children" and a "great f*****g writer." Neil Gaiman praised his writing, too, and recalled a time Straub, one of "the best friends (he's) ever known," performed the difficult crow yoga pose in a Wisconsin men's restroom "because he was fearless & proud of his yoga."
Straub shared profound thoughts about loss and grief through the lens of horror fiction in a 2016 interview with Publisher's Weekly.
"Loss befalls us all; loss is half the human story," he told the publication. "Mostly, we experience moments of joy and transcendence a couple of seconds after they have already begun to fade, and our knowledge of such exalted states consists largely of their existence being held in memory. Adult human beings live with the certainty of grief, which deepens us and opens us to other people, who have been there, too."

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — When Rory McIlroy runs into some of his former Ryder Cup teammates at Wentworth this week, don’t expect them to spend much time reminiscing about fond memories.
European Ryder Cup stalwarts Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are among the contingent of LIV Golf players who are competing at the BMW PGA Championship this week, much to the dismay of McIlroy and the others who have resisted the financial gains of joining the Saudi-backed breakaway series.
During a forgettable Ryder Cup for Europe last year at Whistling Straits, one of the most memorable moments came when McIlroy broke down in tears when talking about how much he loved his teammates. On Wednesday, he merely sighed when asked how what seemed like a tight-knit bond with Garcia, Westwood and Poulter can survive the fallout from LIV.
“I have no idea,” McIlroy said. “I wouldn’t say I’ve got much of a relationship with them at the minute. ... But, like, I haven’t done anything different. They are the ones that have made that decision. So I can sit here and keep my head held high and say I haven’t done anything differently.”
Shane Lowry also said there could be some awkward meetings this week with players he used to be “good friends” with.
“Obviously I haven’t seen them in a long time now. Don’t hang out with them anymore,” Lowry said. “Probably won’t be going out for dinner because we haven’t seen each other. But yeah, there are certain lads that I shake hands with and certain hands I wouldn’t.”
So the rift between players created by LIV shows no sign of healing at Wentworth, where Billy Horschel and Jon Rahm both took aim at the LIV contingent on Tuesday.
The LIV golfers who are European Tour members are allowed to play at Wentworth while their suspension for playing in the inaugural event of the breakaway series is under appeal. Their Ryder Cup status is also subject to legal appeals.
U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick said he was “fed up with talking about” the whole situation, but acknowledged that the current tensions could make it difficult to include any LIV players on next year’s Ryder Cup team.
“There’s one person I would have, who I would be fine with playing with and have on the team,” Fitzpatrick said, declining to name the player. “But you know, next year is obviously a long way away, and there’s a lot of stuff to come with the whole situation. So that might change things, change attitudes even more, and then that probably makes it difficult.”
The European Ryder Cup team for next year was already affected by LIV Golf when Henrik Stenson was stripped of the captaincy for joining the breakaway series. When the Swede’s name came up at the end of McIlroy’s news conference as the only person to win both the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup and the European Tour’s Race to Dubai — a feat the Northern Irishman is trying to equal — McIlroy just quipped: “Who?”
McIlroy had said before the event that it would be “hard to stomach” playing alongside the LIV golfers this week, but said he had yet to see most of them at Wentworth.
“My opinion is they shouldn’t be here, but again that’s just my opinion,” McIlroy said, before taking a jab at LIV Golf’s format of only playing three rounds instead of four and starting on different holes. “But we are all going to tee it up on the first tee tomorrow and we are all going to go play 72 holes, which is a novelty for them at this point, and then we’ll go from there.”
McIlroy said he stayed away from a players’ meeting with European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley on Tuesday evening that included golfers from both factions.
“It wasn’t really a situation I wanted to get myself in knowing who was going to be in that room,” McIlroy said. “So I sort of removed myself from it and let them thrash it out.”
Pelley gave no details of what was said at the meeting at his own news conference, saying it was “very short and there were a couple of questions from LIV players that I think we answered.”
Pelley also launched a staunch defense of the financial viability of the European Tour — recently rebranded as the DP World Tour — and its ability to compete commercially.
“It is easy to get dragged down by the LIV propaganda machine, churning out negative news stories and misinformation about the poor state of the traditional golfing world, including our tour,” Pelley said. “It’s just not right.”
McIlroy, Fitzpatrick and Horschel all play in the same group on Thursday so they won't have to share the course with any LIV players until the weekend at least.
When asked if it would give him added motivation to play in the final pairing on Sunday alongside a player who joined the Saudi-backed series, McIlroy couldn't resist one more jibe.
“They are going to be pretty tired on Sunday,” he said, “it will be the fourth day.”

As B.C. students head back to class across the province, the union representing their teachers is sounding the alarm on what it says is a critical staffing shortage.
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation says B.C.’s soaring cost of living coupled with salaries that are the second lowest in Canada is making it hard to recruit new teachers, and to hold onto teachers already on the rolls.
Read more: B.C. students with disabilities excluded 4,000-plus times last year: Report
Some of those teachers are pulling up stakes and moving to provinces eastward, like Alberta, where wages are higher and the cost of living lower, according to BCTF president Clint Johnston.
With teachers locked in negotiations with the province on their latest collective agreement, Johnston said the sticking point remains wages.
“The crux of it right now really is … salaries that will keep up tot he rising inflation we see right now,” he said. “That kind of inflation can be a really affected pay cut.”
Staffing shortages have become severe enough that some districts in B.C.’s interior and north have begun advertising work for uncertified substitute teachers.
“We know there are uncertified individuals teaching around the province, but to see it advertised, asked for, to kind of accept it, that’s a really concern for us,” Jonston said.
The shortage has some among the opposition calling on the province to hike wages to stem the bleeding.
“We’re in competition for good teachers in this province,” Saanich North and the Islands Green MLA said.
“We want to have the best education system in the country. We’re going to have to make sure we’re investing in it that way.”
Education minister Jennifer Whiteside wouldn’t comment directly on negotiations Tuesday, saying only that wages were a subject of discussion between teachers and their employer.
Teachers are due back at the bargaining table on Sept. 26, though Johnston said they’re hoping to resume bargaining earlier than that.
For the time being, however, he said the union is not contemplating job action.

Every year with the launch of its new phones Apple improves the iPhone camera making it more versatile and easy-to-use thanks to the software algorithms that tweak and adjust your photographs to make sure they are in focus and offer the best exposure possible. One feature that sets iPhones apart from others is Apple’s Live Photo capture system that allows you to create small animated images made up of multiple frames.
If you always find one of your friends or family members is blinking when you try to take group photo at get togethers, celebrations or seasonal festivities. You will be pleased to know that the fantastic Apple Live photo feature has been specifically created to help you capture the perfect photograph without you having to do a thing.
The Apple Live photo technology automatically works in the background when you are taking an iPhone photo and records what’s happening for 1.5 seconds both before and after you press the button on your screen to capture a photo. The Live Photo mode is enabled by default on iPhones and allows you to enhance a traditional photo with both movement and sound. As well as edit the image and view individual frames from the animation which is triggered by holding your finger down on your iPhone screen. Enabling you to select that one frame where everyone is looking in the right direction, smiling and not blinking.
Edit iPhone Live photos
Once you have captured a Live Photo, you can easily edit it, to select a new image which is displayed while the animation is still, add effects or simply select individual frames to create new photos. To view the animation of a Live Photo in your photo stream, simply hold your finger down on your iPhone screen and the Live animation will start playing.
Live Photos can easily be shared across your iOS devices and with friends who are using either Apple devices or Android. As well as viewed in the alternative Google Photo iOS app depending on your preference, thanks to Live support added by Google. This quick guide will show you how to take and edit Live Photos on your iPhone but also disable the mode from your camera if you would perfect to take still images with no animations or enhancements.
When you take a Live Photo on your iPhone, Apple stores it in the Live album in your official Photos app, making them easy to find, edit and share. Simply open the Apple Photos app on your iPhone and then go to the Albums tab and scroll down to Media Types and select the album for Live Photos. Presented in time order, your Live photographs are easy to view and simply selecting one will allow you to edit it.
To make sure you have Live Photos enabled, simply open the camera app on your iPhone and in the top right-hand corner there will be a circular icon. With two solid rings in the center and a dotted ring on the outer edge. If there is a line striking through the center of the icon, this means that the Live Photos camera mode is off and you are taking standard still photographs.
To enable Live Photos on your iPhone, simply tap the icon in the top right-hand corner and you will see an animation removing the diagonal line and a yellow box will appear in the middle/top of your iPhone screen with the word LIVE. The Live Photo mode is now on and will record animated photographs automatically every time you take a photo.
Apple automatically re-enables Live Photo mode by default
It is worth remembering that turning off Live mode is a temporary measure and your iPhone will automatically turn on Live Photos on again. Unless you have specifically asked your iPhone not to. To turn off the Live photo mode permanently, you will need to go to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings. At the bottom of this page you will see a slider allowing you to enable Live Photo. Once green, this will preserve the setting you choose rather than automatically resetting to the default which is on. This gives you full control over when Live Photos will be captured.
If you would like to change the key photo associated with an animated photograph, Apple lets you do this easily.
1. Open the Live photograph you would like to edit from your album in the Photos app
2. Select the Edit option in the top right-hand corner of your iPhone screen
2. Tap the Live Photo icon in the bottom menu
3. Scroll back and forward through the animation until you select the key frame you would like to use.
4. Press the Make Key Photo option bubble that appears to confirm your selection
5. Done to exit the editing process and return to your album.
While you are editing an animated photo, you can also toggle the Live Photo mode on and off by pressing the yellow LIVE button in the top center of your iPhone screen. If the animation is disabled, it will be black with a line striking through the circular icon.
Adding special effects
If you would like to add special effects to your iPhone, Live Photos simply open the photograph, you would like to edit from the official Photos app on your iPhone. and then :
1. Open the photograph of choice
2. Tap the LIVE drop-down menu in the top left-hand corner of your iPhone screen just underneath the blue back arrow.
3. Select the effect you would like to add to your photo from : Live, Loop, Bounce or Long Exposure.
– Selecting Loop will convert your photograph into a video loop
– Selecting Bounce makes your Live Photo move back and forth, playing the animation forwards and then in reverse
– Selecting Long Exposure allows you to capture a photograph of time and movement normally only associated with DSLR cameras. For instance, transforming a waterfall into a blur of water or capturing the stars as they move through the sky at night.
Sharing photographs
If you would like to share your Live Photos with others, this is easily done as you would do with other photographs in your albums. Simply go to the photo you would like to share and select the share button. If you would like to share a still photograph and not the animated version, simply tap Live in the top left-hand corner of the photo to disable the animated version. It is also worth noting that if you try to share a Live Photo via the Apple Mail application, it will automatically be sent as a still image.
When the recipient receives your animated photograph on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch via Messages, all they need do is simply tap the photograph to open it and firmly press and hold the screen to see it the animation in all its glory. If you are using Messages on your Mac, simply double-click the photograph to see the Live animation play out.

WASHTENAW COUNTY, MICH. -- Four people were arrested after a 100-person fight broke out at a Pittsfield Township movie theater Saturday evening.
Police responded to calls of a 50-person fight around 9 p.m. at 4100 Carpenter Road, the location of Cinemark Ann Arbor 20 and IMAX.
Upon arrival, officers found roughly 100 disorderly people both inside the theater and in the parking lot, with multiple fights occurring, according to a statement from the Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety. Officers were able to stop what they said was the most aggressive fight between three female minors.
Jeff Schuh, of Ann Arbor, was at the theater to see the horror movie “The Invitation” when the fights broke out.
“We’re in the lobby and basically there was just a whole bunch of hooting and hollering and like yelling and stuff, just a whole bunch of people getting in each other’s face,” said Schuh. “… I wasn’t scared myself, but potential violence is there when you have that many people. I mean, it was $3 movie day, so there’s a whole lot of people there.”
Although police haven’t released any information about what prompted the incident, Cinemark was one of multiple theaters in the area participating in a National Cinema Day, a promotion that dropped movie tickets down to just $3.
Police took one adult and three juveniles, ages 14, 14 and 15, into custody. All the people taken into custody were eventually released to parents pending further investigation and possible criminal charges, police said.
Pittsfield Township officers were joined by personnel from Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office, Ann Arbor police, Ypsilanti police, and Eastern Michigan University Police.
The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Pittsfield Township police.
Cinemark Theatres did not respond to a request for comment.

The Estidama service by Dubai Economy and Tourism (DET) is a virtual office lease that allows small businesses to operate their company without renting a physical space. This virtual office gives start-ups and entrepreneurs the luxury of all the amenities and administrative services of a physical office without high rents or office-related expenses. This means that entrepreneurs or freelancers can work from anywhere around the world with a physical address, reception services, email forwarding and courier for their company.
“An Estidama, or a Sustainability Contract, is a virtual lease option that allows smaller companies with fewer staff to obtain a trade licence without the need to rent a physical office space,” Nazar Musa, CEO at UAE-based company service provider PRO Partner Group explained.
Limitations
While Estidama allows start-ups to cut down overhead costs and obtain a trade licence for their company, it is not a sustainable option if you are thinking of expanding your business and hiring new employees.
“Estidama has a limit on the number of visas that a company can obtain, with the maximum being four, unlike an Ejari contract, where the quota is unlimited. Thus, this is not particularly suitable for companies that have more than four employees. In this case, if the company is larger or is aiming for an expansion, then an Ejari may be more appropriate,” he added.
Flexi desk
“A flexi desk is a co-working space granted to clients on a limited duration basis per week. The flexi desk is not linked to any specific client but may be utilised by multiple clients at different times. It is also known as a Hot desk, Smart desk, or shared desk,” Ghaith Al Daker, general manager at DUQE free zone said.
Al Daker further explained that because it is not designated to a single client, a flexi desk is often a cheaper option compared to a fixed desk and is also usually included within the basic start-up package for a lease when a client sets up their business in a free zone.
Limitations
While a flexi desk may be affordable, Mohamed Montasser, the director of operations at Global Link Corporate Services Provider, said that companies using flexi desks might face difficulties when applying for a business bank account or applying for UAE residence visas for their employees without an official physical address.
Fixed desk
As opposed to a flexi desk, a fixed desk solely belongs to one company and is not shared with other entrepreneurs or establishments.
"Depending on the business centre, dedicated desks are usually located in a shared office or a more private open area within the business centre," Al Daker said.
While this is a slightly more expensive option, compared to a flexi desk, it is still cheaper than a traditional office, as you still would not need to cover utility and amenity-related costs separately.
Traditional office
Whether you are a company that is too big to consider a virtual office or hot desk, or you are a business that started small and wants to now expand, a traditional office is the option that you can consider. While this would require a bigger budget, it is the most suitable option for small businesses that require physical office space for employees to work in a shared space and a more long-term solution for your business.
