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.

Sept 7 (Reuters) – Norway is open to discussing potential long-term gas agreements and price caps with European partners to help ease the energy crisis, the country’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store told the Financial Times on Wednesday.
Norway has already increased gas supplies to Europe by 10% this year and wants to be recognized as a “predictable and long-term” partner, FT’s report said.
“I fully understand that Europe now has a profound debate about how energy markets work, how they can secure more affordable prices for citizens, families, industries, and how this shortfall of gas after Putin’s aggression can be handled,” FT quoted Store as saying. He added that “Norway is not closing doors to any such discussion.”
European Union energy ministers are due to meet on Friday to discuss setting up caps on Russian natural gas prices.
A draft document, seen by Reuters, said the ministers would consider options including a price cap on imported gas, a price cap on gas used to produce electricity, or temporarily removing gas power plants from the current EU system of setting electricity prices.

Aylesford man dies in head-on crash in Annapolis County
Pickup truck and cube truck crashed on Highway 101
A 55-year-old man from Aylesford, N.S., has died in a crash in Lake La Rose, near Annapolis Royal.
RCMP say a pickup truck and a cube truck collided head-on on Highway 101 at about 3:40 p.m. AT on Tuesday.
The driver of the cube truck, who was alone in the vehicle, died at the scene.
The driver and sole occupant of the pickup truck, a 24-year-old man from River Bourgeois, N.S., was seriously injured and was taken to hospital by Lifeflight.
After the two vehicles crashed, a transport truck was unable to stop in time and collided with the other vehicles in what an RCMP spokesperson described as a "glancing blow." The driver of the transport truck was not injured.
The highway was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.

‘Now you’re just annoying me’ – influencer fatigue sets in
The aspirational lifestyle displayed by many influencers might have made sense during the good times, but during a cost-of-living crisis it is proving a turn-off for many Gen Z consumers across the UK, new research finds.
Takeaways
- Forty-four percent of Gen Z say the cash-rich lifestyles of influencers amidst the cost-of-living crisis infuriates them, according to data from Room Unlocked, a platform focused on authentic relationships between brands and influencers.
- The same proportion (44%) say that comparing their lives to the unrepresentative lives of content creators has a negative effect on their mental health.
- British influencers are among the best-paid in the world, pocketing £117.48 an hour, or £137,000 a year if they worked full-time, according to data from Adobe.
Why it matters
Influencer marketing is here to stay but it’s in a constant state of evolution as it matures and starts to shift into social commerce. But having apparently well-off influencers attempting to sell products directly might not be the best play for brands, as the gap widens between the experience of those influencers and their followers.
What do to
“The most aware influencers will now blend their aspirational lifestyles with the support of causes that they genuinely care about,” says Alex Payne, CEO and co-founder of Room Unlocked. “Audiences are more aware than ever to incongruous collaborations, but they are also more demanding that the people they follow lead in more ways than one.”
Read more on the evolving relationship between marketers and influencers in WARC’s new report, produced in partnership with Impact.com: Aligning marketers and influencers: Shifting perspectives on influencer marketing across the funnel.

WARC Adspend outlook 2022/23: what you need to know
Ad spend around the globe will rise 8.3% in 2022, before slowing significantly in 2023 – in a major new report, WARC downgrades expectations for global ad market growth by $90bn in the face of a wider economic slowdown.
These are the figures presented in WARC’s Ad spend Outlook 2022/23: Impacts of The Economic Slowdown. You can read a sample here. WARC Media subscribers can access the full report here.
What you need to know
- Global ad spend is set to reach $880.9bn this year – a rise of 8.3% or $67.3bn
This is largely down to cyclical boosts from major events like the US midterm elections and the men’s FIFA World Cup, both taking place in November, which will animate H2 growth. Big brands appear to plan to sustain their spend. - Growth to slow significantly to just 2.6% in 2023
The new projections, based on data from 100 ad markets worldwide, amount to a downgrade of 4.3 percentage points (pp) to 2022 growth and 5.7pp to 2023’s prospects, compared to WARC’s previous global forecast in December 2021 – a reduction of close to $90bn in potential growth over the two years.
- Social media’s $40bn shortfall amid slowing growth
WARC expects the impact of Apple’s privacy measures on social media companies that rely on cross-site tracking will be in the region of a $40bn hit to their bottom lines over the course of this and the coming year. Most are expected to see far less growth than they are used to over the forecast period. Overall, social is expected to rise 11.5% (compared to +47.1% in 2021) in 2022 before cooling to just 5.2% - its slowest ever period of growth.
YouTube’s fortunes have also proven vulnerable to privacy changes on Apple devices; WARC believes that YouTube’s advertising revenue will rise 7.3% this year (compared to +45.9% in 2021), but that its growth will then ease to 5.6% in 2023. - Investment keeps coming
Just four of the 18 product sectors that WARC monitors are expected to cut ad spend in 2023, but the profile and rate of the cuts is interesting: transport & tourism (-0.4%), alcoholic drinks (-1.1%), financial services (-4.5%) and automotive (-12.4%). So where is the above shortfall coming from? Small and medium sized businesses are big spenders on social advertising, and as they are hit hard they will struggle to spend. - AVOD market heats up as streaming becomes war of attrition
Advertising spend in the video streaming sector is set to grow faster than the total ad market this year (+8.4%) and next year (+7.0%). The advertising-funded video on demand (AVOD) sector – including Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube – is expected to rise 8.0% this year and then a further 7.6% in 2023 to reach a value of almost $65bn.
Broadcaster-owned streamers are also set to grow their advertising income this year (+9.7%) and next (+5.2%), but from a far lower base (reaching $18.5bn in 2023). Linear TV, meanwhile, will grow by 3.6% to $180bn (20.4% of all advertising spend) but the market is then on course to record a 4.5% loss in the absence of these events next year.
In context
This is all in the broader context of inflation’s effect on consumers– see WARC’s Economic slowdown and inflation hub for our full coverage – and which is expected to worsen over coming months. Its effects will not be equally distributed however, with high earners expected to remain positive.
In order to capture that demand, technology & electronics (+11.5% in 2023), pharma & healthcare (+7.5%) and household & domestic (+6.5%) are expected to post healthy increases in advertising investment.
Comment
“With the growth rate of global output now set to halve and acute supply-side pressures fanning inflation, the economic slowdown has removed close to $90bn from global ad market growth prospects this year and next”, says James McDonald, Director of Data, Intelligence & Forecasting, WARC.
“Yet brands are still spending as the Covid recovery continues, and global ad trade remains on course to top $1trn in value by 2025. Platforms with rich sources of first-party data – most notably Amazon, Google and Apple – are well placed to weather future headwinds by offering measured performance in a climate where return on investment becomes paramount.”

Instagram to scale back shopping features in ad drive
The Meta-owned social network will shift its shopping page to a less personalised version and align the section’s goals more closely with a ‘north star’ of advertising revenue, reports suggest.
Why it matters
The move reflects a broader turn away from commerce – which is surprising given many other platforms and retailers’ eyes filled with dollar signs at its mere mention – and toward “a new northstar and goals for the commerce organization that are more directly tied to advertising revenue for Meta,” according to an earlier memo.
It’s important to remember that shopping features are free to use, unless businesses use Facebook’s Checkout feature to take payments – in which case they’ll pay 5%. It makes sense in times of financial difficulty to restrict what you’re giving away.
What’s going on
First reported by The Information, which obtained an internal memo sent to staff on Tuesday, that a public test of the new ‘Tab Lite’ features will begin as soon as Wednesday with the potential for the Shopping page as it currently exists to disappear and be replaced.
It’s important to remember that among Instagram’s numerous shopping features there are plenty that carry an advertising element, and therefore a revenue opportunity for the company.
Both Instagram and TikTok have struggled to gain traction for shopping features and successfully move from upper-funnel discovery to lower-funnel conversion (forgive the funnel term).
The news comes as Meta experiences its most difficult year to date following the hit to its revenues brought on by Apple’s new privacy features last spring, which it blamed for its for some of its financial woes. In response, the Verge reported late last month, the company would explore “possible paid features” across its suite of apps – Instagram among them.

E-wallet target: Indonesia’s digitally-savvy Gen Z
More than a third of Indonesian Gen Zers have installed an e-wallet application on their mobile phone, but advertisers and marketers need to understand who exactly are the main users among this new generation of spenders and what are the channels they prefer.
Why it matters
An aging population displays ‘consumer inertia’
While the disruption of tech companies and the new business opportunities that have subsequently emerged have been much discussed in recent years, a less observed phenomenon has been that of consumer inertia – one which actively discourages the creation of new businesses.
What is consumer inertia?
Wharton finance professor Gideon Bornstein defines it, in his paper Entry and Profits in an Aging Economy: The Role of Consumer Inertia, as “the tendency of consumers to choose the same products over time for reasons other than the fundamental attributes of those products”. Older consumers tend to stick with what they know, leading to fewer new businesses entering a market and the incumbents being able to charge higher prices and accrue higher aggregate profits.
Younger households (age 20–34), however, display significantly less consumer inertia than any other age group across more than 95% of the product groups Bornstein studied. A young household is, on average, about 20 percentage points more likely “to re-optimize its product choice” relative to older age groups, he found.
What it means
Bornstein’s focus is on company creation but there are clearly implications for marketers. If they’re at an existing, established brand, they have a potential loyal base of customers among older Americans, who are reluctant to change even if the price of alternatives is lower. That’s a strong position in a cost-of-living crisis.
Marketers promoting new companies and products first and foremost need a customer base, which takes some time to establish. Bornstein’s research indicates their efforts should be focused on young households (they likely were already, but here’s another justification).
Further, some categories have “a relatively more inertial consumer base” and so display lower entry rates of new firms: carbonated beverages, for example, has a high degree of consumer inertia as consumers stick to Coke or Pepsi.
The big idea
“If there were a way to nudge some consumers and say, ‘Here are the options that you have – you can actually get a better deal,’ it could potentially increase the degree of competition, and it can have implications for pricing by firms and for the efficiency of the market” – Gideon Bornstein, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, speaking to Knowledge at Wharton.

Sustainability: who cares and what matters?
Sustainability questions remain front-and-centre for business, but new studies shed light on both the ways in which we underestimate the popularity of such measures and the effectiveness of an increasingly popular, pragmatic response: plant-based meat.
Why it matters
The climate crisis is a huge problem, but it remains politically contentious even if the reality is far less fraught. Doubts have always played a big part in halting action.
This is a major conversation in advertising as brands weigh whether talking about climate credentials (and hopefully spurring action through acting on them) is the right thing to do.
Well, here are a couple of stats we think might help you out.
What people think
Americans tend to think that climate action is unpopular, even if they support it.
In an interesting study published in Nature Communications, researchers looked at what people think other people think about climate change, by asking respondents to judge the public popularity of legislative measures, including the Green New Deal or Carbon, to tackle the crisis.
Across the 6,000 respondents, most believed that only a minority of Americans (37%-43%) want action, in contrast to the between 66% and 80% of that actually do want action.
The trouble is that “People conform to their perception of social norms, even when those perceptions are wrong,” explains Gregg Sparkman, professor of psychology at Boston College, speaking to Grist, which reported the study. This, he adds, can result in a “spiral of silence”, in which people limit what they express based on their understanding of social norms – even if that understanding is incorrect. This should also go for mentions of climate in advertising – it’s more popular than you think.
The effectiveness of commercial actions
The conversation around plant-based meat comes from a noble aim pragmatically addressed: rather than convincing the world (including developing countries that are only just starting to eat meat at a regular frequency like the West has done for decades) to go vegetarian or vegan, we may do better to replace meat while keeping its prestige.
But the methods that companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat use to build plant-based meats from the protein-up require a huge amount of processing. But how much?
While both Impossible and Beyond have done their own studies (just 11% and 10% of emissions versus animal meat, respectively), some independent research is emerging.
Ars Technica reports that Johns Hopkins University researchers have brought together a literature review of the (relatively few) available published reports which have found that plant-based meats emit just a fraction of the gas for the same amount of protein:
- 7% of the emissions required to produce beef
- 57% of the emissions to produce pork
- 37% of the emissions to produce chicken.
There were also significant water savings:
- 23% that of beef
- 11% that of pork
- 24% that of chicken
And land savings (vital if we’re ever to reclaim the huge swath of carbon-capturing forest we’ve already lost):
- 2% that of beef
- 18% that of pork
- 23% that of chicken
In addition, plant-based milks – often questioned for their water use – are also far better:
- Soy milk uses just 7% of the land and 4% of the water of animal milk prodution while emitting under a third of greenhouse gasses.
- Oat milk uses just 8% of the land and water and just 29% of greenhouse gases.
Almond milk is more troublesome. While it uses just 59% of the water it takes to farm animal milk, if you start comparing equivalent amount of protein, it uses more water and emits more gas.

‘Now you’re just annoying me’ – influencer fatigue sets in
The aspirational lifestyle displayed by many influencers might have made sense during the good times, but during a cost-of-living crisis it is proving a turn-off for many Gen Z consumers across the UK, new research finds.
Takeaways
- Forty-four percent of Gen Z say the cash-rich lifestyles of influencers amidst the cost-of-living crisis infuriates them, according to data from Room Unlocked, a platform focused on authentic relationships between brands and influencers.
- The same proportion (44%) say that comparing their lives to the unrepresentative lives of content creators has a negative effect on their mental health.
- British influencers are among the best-paid in the world, pocketing £117.48 an hour, or £137,000 a year if they worked full-time, according to data from Adobe.
Why it matters
Influencer marketing is here to stay but it’s in a constant state of evolution as it matures and starts to shift into social commerce. But having apparently well-off influencers attempting to sell products directly might not be the best play for brands, as the gap widens between the experience of those influencers and their followers.
What do to
“The most aware influencers will now blend their aspirational lifestyles with the support of causes that they genuinely care about,” says Alex Payne, CEO and co-founder of Room Unlocked. “Audiences are more aware than ever to incongruous collaborations, but they are also more demanding that the people they follow lead in more ways than one.”

E-commerce growth in China slows to 9.1%
Research from Insider Intelligence has forecast China’s 2022 e-commerce sales to grow at their slowest pace since 2008, in a sign of broader economic troubles in the largest e-commerce market on the planet.
Why it matters
It’s important to remember that the competitive set is difficult to match – for a long time, China’s economy was used to retail sales growing by an average of 12% per month, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In an online shopping economy worth $6.1 trillion – one that would presumably grow at an accelerated pace given the ongoing zero Covid policy in the country which has continued to lock down regularly – it’s surprising to see such trepidation.
Deeper troubles
What it suggests is not that the fundamental utility of e-commerce no longer makes sense to people, but rather that it’s a sign of economic attitudes as people hold back on discretionary purchases at a time of broader economic woes: the property market has dipped, inflation begins to take hold and wages can’t keep up.
Who wins?
It appears that more aggressive competitors are selling more (even if that may not be a long-term recipe for profitability). Pinduoduo’s value offering has spurred sales growth of 36%.
Where e-commerce excels appears to be in grocery which has continued its fast growth (albeit a little slower). Generally, consumption patterns reflect ongoing lockdown situations: food, household, personal care, fitness, pet, home improvement, and even camping categories have all done well, while fashion has struggled.
Giants struggle to maintain stellar performance
E-commerce giants have felt the pinch, with Alibaba’s June results showing a 1% dip in China sales, while rival JD.com saw growth slow to just 5.4%. It’s worth pointing out that both these firms dwarf Pinduoduo’s sales. Alibaba remains the biggest and likely the strongest brand in the space.

Understanding the challenge of ethical AI: how to avoid being racist, sexist or ageist
Brands need to overcome biased outcomes in marketing and to be especially alert to the unintended biases that can creep into artificial intelligence and that can spell risk for business; three strategy executives from Initiative APAC explain how to tackle the issue.

How Adyen delivers e-wallet insights for APAC marketers
What makes payments data different from other types of data that marketers have at their disposal? WARC speaks to Adyen’s Priyanka Gargav about how the payments revolution in Southeast Asia is transforming the way brands approach marketing strategy.
Context
Six out of ten people in Southeast Asia are either unbanked or underbanked. The launch of e-wallets allows them to be part of the new digital economy that is taking over the region. The use cases vary per country, but the change is undeniable. It is expected that the usage of these will grow three-fold in the next five years in Southeast Asia.
Key insights
- E-wallets are the front-end interaction with the customer; for marketing, each cashless payment can be an insight.
- When customers provide data, they expect brands to remember who they are and give the right personalised experience.
- The payments revolutions will change how marketers think about loyalty and they must now consistently interact with consumers.
The future of metaverse innovation in APAC: Why culture is important
It is important for brands in the metaverse to be aware of cultural nuances in order to create virtual experiences for consumers that add on to, not take away from, the real world, the Meta Festival 2022 heard.
Why it matters
The metaverse can help brands build communities in real time, with metaverse brands stimulating real world interactions to create more connections and selling opportunities for marketers.

Apple ad business set to rapidly expand digital ad staff
Hundreds of job adverts hint at the iPhone maker’s plans to supercharge its digital advertising business, with current listings likely to double the department’s staff.
Why it matters
Many of the engineering jobs available at the company in this “incredibly fast-growing” area of the business, per one ad, are focused on building both supply- and demand-side platforms, which are the tools necessary to buy and sell ads across the iPhone ecosystem on different exchanges. Effectively, there are ever more places where clients can buy advertising, and the platform business suggests opportunities will only increase.
It follows last year’s adoption of Ad Tracking Transparency features that have curtailed the ability of advertising-funded apps and services like Facebook and Twitter to track users across the online environment. In this space, it has stepped up its advertising business and this latest news reflects the initial scale of the ambition that has begun to take shape in reports.
What’s going on
The Financial Times brings together current LinkedIn data, suggesting 250 current staff members on its platforms team, with open ads for as many as 216 new roles, reflecting an ambition to double the scale of the operation.
- Critics point out that given the company’s current, relatively small ad revenue levels, it would be extremely tough to take on well-resourced, more mature competitors without first taking advantage of its position.
- Some see the firm’s new plans as something of a U-turn, following a longstanding resistance to personal-information fuelled advertising on its platforms that has contributed to its public stance and, quite possibly, its long-term market share gains.
- Finally, it reflects a broader shift in which a privacy-centric mood has chimed with a technical realignment away from third-party cookies and toward first-party data “walled gardens”. Here, Apple has a colossal trove and some of the strongest walls you could imagine.

Brands can plan for a frugal Christmas
Consumers are preparing themselves for a frugal Christmas, playing down expectations, reining in spending and forgoing traditional indulgence, according to a new report* from Mindshare.
Concerns about affordability are on the rise across all income groups
- Just a quarter of respondents are feeling positive about the festive season – down almost 25% on the same time last year.
- The number of people feeling very negative about Christmas (14%) is almost five times higher than this time last year.
- Four in ten Brits are worried about affording Christmas this year as the cost-of-living crisis bites; three in ten expect to rely on credit cards more than in previous years.
- The 35-54 age group is most likely to be concerned, with over half worried about covering the cost of the festive season.
- Around three quarters of all respondents intend to prioritise saving over splurging (78%), to stay in rather than go out (79%) , and to hold back rather than indulge themselves (74%).
Consumers will make the best of it
- Two thirds (67%) say they won’t be asking for much this Christmas while six in ten (59%) want to make sure their kids don’t miss out.
- Over half (56%) predict they will be spending on loved ones rather than themselves.
Key quote
“Regardless of financial position, people will behave very differently this Christmas. All brands, even those that have traditionally been fairly recession proof will need to adapt to this” – Julia Ayling, Head of Research & Insights, Mindshare UK.
*The latest Reality Check report from Mindshare asked more than 1,000 UK adults from all walks of life how they were feeling about Christmas.

Marketers increasingly look to influencers for sales
More than a third of marketers already include selling products or services as a measurable objective within their influencer marketing and one in ten now allocate more than half of their influencer marketing budget to social commerce campaigns, according to research* from Influencer Intelligence.
Why it matters
The influencer industry has matured from a brand promotion and storytelling avenue into an important operational and sales function for many businesses.
Takeaways
- Three quarters of marketers (74%) believe the growth of social commerce will drive better practices in ROI and measurement within influencer marketing
- Six in ten marketers (61%) regard shoppable links as the way to integrate social commerce into influencer strategy.
- Half (51%) agree that shoppable live streaming will become a ‘must’ for all brands within the next year
- Four in ten (43%) have seen the most success with micro-influencers as part of their social commerce strategy.
- The main barriers to social commerce success in influencer marketing remain obtaining sufficient data from influencers to measure ROI (24%) and identifying talent who can deliver sales objectives (21%).
Key quote
“As social commerce becomes increasingly embedded into brands’ influencer activity, there are signs that marketers will grow more experimental into the future, exploring new formats, features and technology. However, certain pain points continue to pose challenges and the platforms and marketers will need to identify new ways to optimise their social commerce activity to get the best out of their increasing spend” – Sarah Penny, Content & Research Director at influencer marketing platform Influencer Intelligence.
*The Role of Influencers in Social Commerce is based on a survey of 150 marketers across the UK, US, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Middle East as well as a series of in-depth interviews with a range of influencer marketing experts.

How ShopeePay is using e-wallets to redefine e-commerce in SEA
ShopeePay is Shopee’s integrated mobile wallet for online payments; WARC Asia Editor Rica Facundo speaks to ShopeePay director Agatha Soh about about how it can elevate a brand’s e-commerce strategy and boost customer loyalty.
Key insights
- E-wallets accelerate the time taken for a consumer to go through the entire marketing funnel.
- ShopeePay’s goal is to elevate the user experience through a convenient, frictionless and easy-to-use payment process.
- E-wallets boost customer loyalty by deepening relationships with customers, cultivating loyalty and building brand advocacy.
The big idea
“Marketers will be able to market through wallets as adoption grows and more use cases surface, and marketers can use this as a medium to communicate with key audiences. This opens up avenues for marketers to speak directly to their customers from different angles and build brand love in a more holistic way.”
Why APAC CMOs need to understand ‘emotional demand’ spaces
Shoppertainment is a US$1 trillion opportunity in APAC but to take advantage successfully will require an understanding of ‘emotional demand’ spaces, according to a report from Boston Consulting Group.
What’s an emotional demand space?
The report, published in partnership with TikTok, identifies customers as operating in six key demand spaces across two core groups: functional demand spaces, which encompass convenience (easy for me), improvement (better for me) and validation (confirm for me); and emotional demand spaces, including recommendation (advise me), indulgence (spoil me) and inspiration (inspire me).
Why it matters
Emotional demand spaces will represent 40% of e-commerce GMV in APAC by 2025, the report predicts. Those brands that can deliver the right sort of engaging content in a shoppertainment context can inspire key switching behaviour that engages customers at the “moment of truth”. BCG suggests this can trigger a halo effect that radiates out across consumer journeys, so “allowing brands to transition purchasing behaviour and capture customers in the functional demand spaces”.
Takeaways
- Six high-growth markets – Australia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam – will drive significant value opportunities.
- Five things for brands to do: tell stories and educate; focus on video-first; don’t force decision-making; be authentic; recommend the trends.
- Four Cs to consider: campaign strategy, customer segmentation, channel management, content playbook.

The CO2 crisis that isn’t about climate change
The effects of a nationwide shortage of carbon dioxide will be felt across food and beverage sectors, pushing up prices and adding to inflation and cost-of-living concerns.
What’s happening
The UK’s largest producer of carbon dioxide – CF Industries accounts for around a third, producing CO2 as a byproduct of fertiliser manufacturing – recently announced a temporary halt to production as a result of the record prices it was having to pay for natural gas, the main feedstock for the process, which has made production uneconomical. Fertiliser producers in Norway and Poland have also cut production, with knock-on effects for CO2 users.
What does it mean
Farmers face rising fertiliser costs and the food and drink sector will have to cope with rising processing costs, all of which will have to be passed on. While marketers can prepare themselves for that they can’t do much about the existential threat some segments face.
- Higher food prices. The Financial Times reported that the country’s largest chicken producer now faces additional costs of £1m a week for the CO2 used to stun birds ahead of slaughter. The founder of 2 Sisters Food Group said “beleaguered shoppers . . . will ultimately pay the price with further price rises”. CO2 is also used for making products like dry ice, essential for preserving certain foods during transport and storage.
- A drinks shortage. Without CO2, brewers face packaging problems as the gas is used to hermetically seal bottles, cans and kegs. POLITICO reported that many are likely to stop production. Soft drinks manufacturers face similar problems.
- Pubs shut. There have already been warnings that many pubs may be forced to close this winter, unable to pay rocketing energy bills. A lack of beer could push them over the edge before winter arrives.

Apple’s iOS used by majority of Americans for first time since launch
New data reveals the extent of Apple’s ‘slow burn’ market share growth that has made the firm’s flagship device the phone – and therefore ecosystem – of choice for 50% of Americans for the first time since it effectively kicked off the smartphone era in 2007.
Years of massive growth appear to be over, but slowly, quietly Apple’s smartphone market share, or ‘active installed base’ in company parlance, has grown consistently over the last four years, both through new phone sales and more people using second-hand devices.
It’s strong news ahead of Wednesday’s expected iPhone 14 launch, at a time when Apple’s continued strength is increasingly down to up or cross-selling to its user base rather than just selling new phones.
Why it matters
As Counterpoint research director Jeff Fieldhack told the FT, “operating systems are like religions – never significant changes,” but his figures show a consistent flow of users from Android (Alphabet’s operating system) to Apple’s iOS.
This doesn’t necessarily mean people are buying new iPhones, but that people are using iPhones – it’s an interesting instance of a brand that, as Tom Morton wrote in May, tests the limits of established brand growth rules.
Implications for marketing
First, it suggests that Apple’s commercial formula is working, and not just by squeezing more and more service revenue out of existing users but converting users from the other side.
While it’s difficult to pin down what worked, growing privacy concerns among Americans have not been lost on Apple, which has made much of its credentials over the years.
Having resisted advertising for most of its history, since early summer last year the company has stepped up its advertising from sponsored listings on the App store to grow a now $4bn business with ambitions of tens of billions of dollars in revenue, even if questions over the ethics of this growth remain.
With continued user growth, Apple is likely to become the latest tech giant to claim a major presence in the ad world.

A golden era: The state of gaming app marketing
Mobile gaming took off during the pandemic, with global app installs rocketing, spending on user acquisition hitting $14.5bn in 2021, and consumer spending in gaming apps reaching $116bn: it’s a “golden era”, says an AppsFlyer report, but not necessarily for marketers.

The key to DEI strategy in APAC: Localisation, authenticity and respect
Brands that want to promote DEI goals have to be authentic and respect regional diversity in order to navigate conservative Asia-Pacific markets.
Why it matters
Brands with a higher level of purpose outperform the market but within APAC’s diverse ethnicities and communities, marketers ought to incorporate cultural nuances, respect and authenticity in their DEI strategy while offering equal opportunities.

Disney plans in-streaming retail feature ahead of potential membership
Disney is considering an Amazon-Prime-style membership scheme that would facilitate cross-selling across its suite of streaming, parks, products and more while yielding a lot of data; it also expects to launch a retail feature in Disney+, its streaming service, later this year.
Why it matters
Membership organisations are distinct from a subscription, which is a way of paying for a product or service, in that a member’s relationship is deeper and more multi-faceted. Amazon’s masterstroke with Prime has been to sell more, more often, and with more accurate information to its members while keeping them hooked with top quality streaming. Disney could be looking to do something similar.
What’s going on
Largely through anonymous reports through sources ‘familiar with discussions’, Disney is considering a membership program – a keen interest of CEO Bob Chapek – but is still at an extremely early stage. However, it’s likely that part of the concept could be tested with an in-streaming retail feature that is expected to come to Disney+ either late this year or early next year.
The company did confirm that the idea “is being explored” in a statement to the Wall Street Journal, which reports that the project is still being referred to as “Disney Prime”.
Ideas include exclusive offers, products, early access to content or experiences.
It has all of the ingredients for an Amazon-style flywheel: strong IP of the sort people form deep if not fanatical relationships with, a physical footprint, a commercial arm, a network of parks, cruises, theatre productions, and even ideas about branded living.

The contenders in the running to become the next boss at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea have sacked Thomas Tuchel after 100 games at the Stamford Bridge helm. Here, the PA news agency looks at the contenders to replace the German coach in west London.
Graham Potter:
The early favourite for the vacant Chelsea role, Potter has excelled in shaping a fluent, progressive and threatening Brighton team – and all on a modest budget. Brighton’s stable and prudent board must also take great credit for the wider vision and strategy but Potter has proven himself a capable Premier League tactician. Brighton sit fourth in the embryonic Premier League table after a fine start to the new campaign. The 47-year-old Potter has not managed at Champions League level, and would face another new challenge in the shape of working with hard-nosed billionaire bosses like Chelsea’s new owners. But the former Ostersunds and Swansea manager is calm, authoritative and well-respected across the game.
Mauricio Pochettino:
The former Argentina defender cemented his reputation by driving Tottenham to the 2019 Champions League final, after stints with Espanyol and Southampton. The taskmaster coach replaced Tuchel at Paris St Germain and led the French giants to the Ligue 1 title in 2022 – but he could never quite impose his will on PSG’s superstar squad. Pochettino has taken a break from coaching since his sacking by PSG in July 2022.
Zinedine Zidane:
World Cup-winning France maestro Zidane led Real Madrid to two LaLiga titles and three Champions League crowns across two stints with the Spanish giants. A majestic player who became a demanding coach, his standing and reputation has formed the bedrock of his managerial style. Boasts all the background and clout to make an immediate impression on the Chelsea squad, but yet to prove himself capable of building a lasting regime.

Bravo recently dropped the trailer for RHOP season 7 which was well-received by fans, who called it 'iconic'. The trailer consists of intense drama that will take place in every housewife's life this season. Apart from the returning cast members, fans can also expect the return of an RHOP veteran.
The new season is set to premiere on October 9.
Season 7 will feature the returning housewives: Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Dr. Wendy Osefo and Mia Thornton. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, who last appeared in season 2 of RHOP O.G. is also set to join the cast for the upcoming season.
The official synopsis of the show reads:
Season 7 finds the cast facing new drama, new dynamics in their personal lives and friendships, major life changes, and plenty of shade. There’s also a cast trip that brings some tensions and questions to the surface.
What to expect from RHOP season 7?
The trailer for the new season of the reality TV show gave viewers a glimpse of the drama they can expect from the upcoming season. From Gizelle to Mia, the clip focuses on everyone. The trailer also hints at a shift in dynamics throughout the show.
Moreover, there is also scope for friendship in RHOP season 7. Long-time enemies Ashley and Candiace will be seen getting close after Ashley's separation from her husband Michael Darby. In the trailer, she says, she is :
"Elated in a place that excludes [Ashley's] crusty, a**-grabbing husband"
Contrary to this, Ashley and Michael are planning on buying a property together, indicating 'this is no divorce'. However, the couple will be separated throughout the season. Additionally, for Ashley, it will be tough to leave Michael because she will also have to take care of her two sons' futures.
Robyn and her fiance/ex-husband Juan are ready to get married for the second time. But just before their marriage, Robyn starts thinking about extra-marital affairs and decides to sign a prenup with Juan. This gives him second thoughts about her as he did not expect this topic to surface just before their big day.
On the other hand, the situation gets out of control among housewives Gizelle, Ashley, Robyn and Candiace. This happens when Ashley doubts Candiace's husband, Chris' intentions.
She shares with Robyn that she received a text from Chris at 2:40 am in which he asked her to join him at his workplace. At the onset of this, Gizelle tells Roby that Chris might be a "sneaky link" and that she believes that Chris was trying to hit on Ashley.
Gizelle and Candiace then have a discussion, and Candiace asks:
"You want to say that my husband made you feel uncomfortable?"
To this, Gizelle replies:
"100 percent"
This does not bode well with Canadaice. She talks to her husband who states that he did not do anything. Ultimately, she says:
"Gizelle is dead to me"
Plenty more drama is waiting for viewers as the season gears up for its release. The recent trailer has gained massive reactions from fans. Take a look:
All the RHOP season 7 episodes will be 75-minutes long. Premiering on October 9 at 8.00 pm ET, viewers can watch the show on Bravo.

DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley has launched a passionate defence of his organisation after Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia downplayed its importance.
Both players joined the LIV Golf series earlier this year and have criticised Pelley’s response to the Saudi-backed breakaway tour.

While Westwood claimed the European tour has become a “feeder” to other competitions, Garcia thinks it will become the fifth best tour in the world.
BMW PGA Championship
'A slap in the face' - Rahm, Horschel take swipe at LIV Golf players
Both will be taking to the course at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, along with 15 other LIV players. This in itself has caused much debate, with some competitors, including Jon Rahm, questioning whether they should be allowed to compete.
Defending champion Billy Horschel made his stance clear, saying “I don’t think those guys really should be here”, with other DP World Tour members missing out on the chance to play the tournament.
Reacting to Garcia’s comments in a news conference ahead at Wentworth, Pelley said, “"It's unbelievable. Let's look at the facts. If the metric determining the top tours in the world is just money, then the number one tour is the PGA Tour, always has been. You could argue that the LIV Invitational Series is number two.”
"But The Asian Tour, $22.5m; Korn Ferry, $20m; Japan, $28m; Australia, $5.8m; Sunshine Tour, $7.4m. Totalling all their prize funds together comes to just half of our tour. So even if the only metric is money, how possibly could we ever become number five”, he said.
As part of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour coalition against LIV Golf, the leading ten players in the rankings at the end of the European tour season will earn PGA Tour cards for the following campaign.
Hitting back at Westwood’s “feeder” comments, Pelley said, "I'll ask you. Is this week a tournament that is on a feeder tour? A tournament that has sold-out crowds, television coverage around the world in 150 countries, five of the Top 15 players in the world? A tournament with 150 accredited media?”
"Our first co-sanctioned event with the PGA Tour in Scotland, where 14 of the top 15 players (in the world) played, would that appear on a feeder tour? I could go on and on”, he said.
Can we please just stop the feeder tour nonsense once and for all.
During his impassioned meeting with the press, Pelley also addressed rumours that, during a trip to Malta last year, he turned down a $1bn deal with the Saudi Arabian project.
"I know that many people still quote the Malta meeting and the supposed $1bn offer that was made to us by Golf Saudi," he said.
"There's only one word to describe that claim, and that is fictitious. I genuinely do not know how many times I can make this point.”

"And you can ask any member of our board of directors, and they will unanimously confirm that it was not an offer, it was not a deal. It was merely a marketing presentation put together on behalf of Golf Saudi.”
Pelley reiterated a lack of interest in the approach, saying, "When it was reviewed at our board of directors on 7 September, 2021, it was dismissed. I'd love to share the actual document with you but we have no intention of sharing a document that isn't ours to share.”
"In many ways, I wish I could because it would put to bed all this speculation once and for all."

3 men die of electrocution in outer Delhi farmhouse
- Country:
- India
Three men died of electrocution on Wednesday morning after an iron trolley which they were using to trim leaves of trees at a farm house in outer Delhi came in contact with a high tension wire, police said.
Two of them, Faizan and Suhail, both 19 years old, of Kithor village of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, came in direct touch with the high tension wire, while a third, Jubair, 23, also a resident of the same village, died rescuing them.
The workers were hired by one Sandeep, a resident of Rohini, to work the garden at the Auchandi village farmhouse used for hosting wedding functions, police said.
Bawana Police Station in the outer north district was informed that three people were killed by electrocution at Maya Mahal in Auchandi village. Police said that the iron trolley used in trimming leaves was about 13.9 ft in height and touched an overhead wire with 11,000 volt current flowing through it.
When they reached the spot, they found three bodies in charred condition in the left corner of the main entrance of the farmhouse, police said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North) Brijendra Kumar Yadav said two of the victims were trimming the tree leaves using the iron trolley, which came in contact with the high tension wire, electrocuting them instantly.
The third, who was digging the field nearby to plant trees came to their rescue, but he too was electrocuted, Yadav said.
The farmhouse is owned by one Bobby Maan, a resident of Prahladpur village, he added.
''The spot has been examined by a Crime team composed of forensic experts. All three bodies have been shifted to MV Hospital and legal action is being taken accordingly,'' the DCP said.

An Irish schoolteacher will return to jail as he continues to refuse to comply with a court order barring him from his workplace following his suspension.
Enoch Burke, who is an evangelical Christian, was suspended from work on full pay last month pending the outcome of a disciplinary process after a number of incidents which stemmed from a transgender row in school.
Mr Burke voiced on several occasions his opposition to a request from the school principal to address a transgender child by their name and refer to them as the pronoun “they”.
Mr Burke was committed to Mountjoy Prison in Dublin on Monday by order of a High Court judge after he breached a temporary court order that he was to stay away from his workplace and not to attend the classroom.
On Wednesday, the board of management of Wilson’s Hospital School in Co Westmeath was granted an interlocutory injunction preventing him from attending the premises of the school.
Mr Burke indicated to the court that he has no intention to abide by the court orders.
“If this court so determines, I will never leave Mountjoy Prison if in leaving the prison I violate my well informed conscience and religious belief and deny my God.
“It seems to me that I can be a Christian in Mountjoy Prison or be a pagan and respecter of transgenderism outside of it.
“I know where I belong.
“My faith has led me to that place and will keep me there, God helping me.”
He told the court that if that choice was put to him “every hour of every day for next 100 years”, he would answer the question the same.
Mr Burke added: “This court is seeking to deprive me of my religious beliefs.”
He also claimed there was an “unlawful attempt” to persecute him for stating his opposition to transgenderism, and that the court was depriving him of his liberty and dignity.
“I have spent the last two nights in prison,” he added.
“As you will appreciate that is new experience for me as a law-abiding citizen.
“I have had much time to consider my actions and behaviour that brought me to that place and far from finding any instances of misconduct, let alone gross misconduct, I only found my actions to be commendable and that I had the courage to respond to the principal telling her that transgender was an abuse of children and a breach of my constitutional rights to free expression of religious beliefs.”
He told the court that what he was being asked to do was “contrary to the work of God”.
He claimed that the “demands” of the principal forced him to participate in transgenderism.
He further claimed that this demand was “depriving” him of his religious beliefs.
“I can’t involve myself in that, it is manifestly wrong, according to my religious beliefs and the scripture,” he added.
“I have considered my actions to be commendable as I have the integrity to obey God rather than man.
“My belief is that there are two genders, that is my religious belief and our constitution makes room for that belief.
“It guarantees freedom to have beliefs.”
He added: “This court can’t deprive me of my religion and can’t deprive me of my dignity, it can’t deprive me of my faith in God and those are things I intend to hold fast to.”
Barrister Rosemary Mallon, counsel for the school’s board of management, said that it was “very clear” from Mr Burke’s commentary that he does not intend to abide by the court order.
She said that he “knowingly and wilfully” breached the order.
She also said that the school was left with no option but to pursue court action when he continuously attended the school.
Ms Mallon said the case was not about transgenderism.
She said she sought the interlocutory injunction because Mr Burke ignored the nature and effect of the lawful decision to suspend him on full pay pending the outcome of the disciplinary meeting.
The court was told that the case satisfies the test for prohibitory interlocutory relief, and that damages would not be sufficient.
The court was told that the school principal had “serious concerns” about Mr Burke’s behaviour and his alleged conduct.
“This was not about his beliefs. He may argue about his beliefs, but it is about his alleged conduct,” she added.
She said the decision to place him on paid administrative leave was lawful and it had the effect of restraining him from attending the school premises.
“I also say that what Mr Burke, in opposing this application, is doing is asking the court to interfere with the disciplinary process,” Ms Mallon continued.
“Mr Burke is asking the court to interfere and to say ‘don’t let the suspension have effect. Let me to sit in classroom and teach’.
“That is interfering and it is not the function of this court to do at such an early stage of the disciplinary process.”
Mr Justice Max Barrett agree to continue the interlocutory injunction, adding that the matter was not about transgenderism.

Judge: Musk can use Twitter whistleblower but not delay case
(AP) - Elon Musk will be able to include new evidence from a Twitter whistleblower as he fights to get out of his $44 billion deal to buy the social media company, but Musk won’t be able to delay a high-stakes October trial over the dispute, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick, the head judge of Delaware’s Court of Chancery, denied Musk’s request to delay the trial by four weeks. But she allowed him to add evidence related to whistleblower allegations by former Twitter security chief Peiter Zatko, who is scheduled to testify to Congress next week about the company’s poor cybersecurity practices.
Twitter has sued Musk, asking the Delaware court to force him to go through with the deal he made in April to buy the company. Musk has countersued, and a trial is set to start the week of Oct. 17.
Musk’s legal team has argued that the allegations made by Zatko to U.S. officials may help bolster Musk’s claims that Twitter misled him and the public about the company’s problem with fake and “spam” accounts.

Dog Speeds: These are the world's 10 fastest and slowest breeds of adorable dog - from the Greyhound to the Basset Hound 🐶
If you one of the growing number of people looking to add a puppy to your family, here are the breeds that would be great if you’re looking for a running companion – and those that enjoy a slower pace of life.
Plenty of us decided to welcome new four-legged friends into our homes in the last couple of years – according to Kennel Club figures dog ownership soared and post-lockdown demand for puppies remains high.
There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.
Those with active lifestyles might want to consider a larger dog, while somebody with allergies will be looking for a hypoallergenic dog. There’s even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ ranking breeds by instincts, obedience, and the ability to adapt.
One thing worth considering before making a decision is that certain breeds of dog are pretty quick on their feet – perfect for more active families with a garden that can double as a canine athletic track and who want a four-legged running companion that will never tire of adventures. Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale there are the dogs that can barely be bothered to get off the couch unless it’s an emergency – and even then they’ll take their time over it.
So, here are the 10 fastest and slowest breeds of dog.

M&S launches new ‘Distilled’ spirits range - at £18 a bottle
In the biggest shake-up of its spirits range in recent years, M&S has launched Distilled: its brand-new collection of 10 top-quality spirits helping customers take their drinks at home to the next level, without breaking the bank.
At £18 for a 70cl bottle, the range offers a full selection of staple spirits for cocktail novices and expert at-home mixologists alike, from gins and vodkas to spiced rum, French brandy and blended Scotch whisky.
As well as beingaffordable, each bottle carries the Distilled seal which guarantees that signature M&S quality at its heart the ISC (International Spirits Challenge) awarded M&S Supermarket Own-Brand Spirits Range of the Year this year.
All three vodkas in the range are five times distilled and charcoal-filtered for purity; the three gins are triple distilled and made with our exclusive blend of seven botanicals; and we’ve given both the Blended Scotch Whisky and XO Brandy further aging time – eight and five years, respectively. All are made without any artificial colourings or flavourings.
The range also includes an exciting all-time first – M&S tequila! A peppery silver-grade tequila, this spirit is made from Blue Agave and produced in collaboration with a family-run distillery in Guadalajara, Mexico, which has been running for almost 80 years.

Jenny Rea, lead product developer for spirits at M&S, said: “We know many of our customers discovered their inner mixologist over the past two years while bars and pubs were closed, and so like to keep their drinks cabinets well stocked with the essentials.
"Our new Distilled range is all about helping them to find the best versions of their favourite spirits at a great price, so they can continue to enjoy the classics while also experimenting with new cocktail creations. As well as being a great addition to any drinks trolley, these bottles would also make fantastic Christmas presents.”
“We’ve also made sure that sustainability is a key point of difference for the new Distilled range – the gins and vodkas are all made with British grains and distilled in Oldbury, England, and the bespoke bottles for all ten spirits are made from 100% British glass, further reducing the range’s carbon footprint.
The new M&S Distilled range will be available to buy in store and on the M&S website from Thursday September 8. Each bottle is 70cl and is priced at £18.

Chelsea will have their work cut out to make Mauricio Pochettino their new manager - if the Argentine's comments on managing one of Tottenham's rivals are anything to go by.
Pochettino remains a popular figure in N17 after leading Spurs for five-and-a-half years between 2014 and 2019, guiding them to two finals and a second-place finish in the Premier League. He joined Paris Saint-Germain after he was sacked by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and won two major honours before leaving the French giants after 18 months this summer.
The 50-year-old remains a free agent and is an attractive prospect given his track record and preference to play a pleasing brand of football. Therefore, it was no surprise to see Pochettino named on Chelsea's managerial shortlist to replace Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked on Wednesday morning.
However, in a blow for the Stamford Bridge club, the former Argentina international previously ruled out managing another of Tottenham's bitter rivals, namely Arsenal. Pochettino was speaking shortly after he was dismissed by Spurs in November 2019, when he emerged as a surprise option to replace Unai Emery in the Gunners hot seat.
The Spurs favourite did not mince his words as he shot down this speculation, saying: "I am never going to be manager of Barcelona or Arsenal because I am so identified with Tottenham and Espanyol. I grew up in Newell's Old Boys and will never manage Rosario Central. That is my decision because I prefer to work on my farm in Argentina than in some places.
Should Mauricio Pochettino put his Tottenham loyalties to one side and join Chelsea? Have your say in the comments...
"But my commitment is massive in this club. I am working like I am going to be here forever. But in the end, it is like the players, you never know what is going to happen in football. It is a lot of rumours about this, about that."
As Pochettino stated, he has strong ties to numerous clubs which prevent him from taking certain jobs. As a player, he came through the academy ranks at Argentine giants Newell's Old Boys before making 153 appearances for his boyhood club, winning the Primera Division. This allegiance means he would never consider managing their local rivals, Rosario Central.
Similarly, Pochettino is precluded from taking charge of Barcelona due to his ties to their city rivals Espanyol, whom he represented as a player across two spells and later managed. The upshot of Pochettino's loyalty to the clubs he has a strong bond with is that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly may have no chance of luring him to West London. Fortunately, for the Blues, it appears their priority target is Brighton boss Graham Potter, who has travelled for talks about making the switch to Stamford Bridge.

Diego Costa is set to fly to England tonight for medical tests with Wolverhampton Wanderers after being granted a work permit.
The Spain international failed to meet the requirements for a work permit initially, but Wolves have appealed to the Football Association's exceptions panel successfully. Costa will now fly to England tonight and begin medical tests with Wolves tomorrow.
He was due to arrive in the UK last night but Wolves postponed the plans while they waited for the outcome of the work permit hearing. Provided Costa passes all the medical checks, he will join Wolves on a one-year contract.
READ: Diego Costa 'will fly to England' after Wolves given major transfer boost
READ: Cutrone admits 'fundamental problem' at Wolves after transfer exit
Costa is keen to return to Europe after a short spell with Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro which ended in January. The striker enjoyed great success in the Premier League with Chelsea during a three-year spell which yielded 52 goals in 89 appearances and brought him four trophies - including two league titles.
Wolves know that Costa, who turns 34 next month, isn’t the world-beater he once was, but Bruno Lage believes the striker can provide the one thing which his team has lacked: goals. Costa would be asked to play between the width of the goalposts by Lage and feed off the chances created by Wolves’ midfielders and wide players.

In Collaboration with the Ad Council, AFSP, The Jed Foundation, Caleb Cares Foundation & USC, New Student-Produced Public Service Advertisement Encourages Young Adults to Check in on Their Friends
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Seize the Awkward campaign released a new public service advertisement (PSA) featuring star quarterback Caleb Williams encouraging young people to check in with their peers and have open conversations about their mental health.
The campaign— from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and The Jed Foundation (JED) in collaboration with the Ad Council —worked with the Caleb Cares Foundation and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of California (USC) to develop the student-produced video.
In times of crisis, three in four young adults turn to a peer for support. As students across the country return to school and National Suicide Prevention Month begins in September, this new video from Seize the Awkward inspires them to learn the signs and start the conversation with friends about mental health. View the full PSA here.
Starring Caleb Williams, the spot highlights the real experiences of the student-athlete and his fellow students about how talking with friends about their mental health made an impact.
As the first collegiate athlete to participate in the campaign, Williams adds his distinct outlook and experiences to expand the conversation about mental health. The video also incorporates perspectives from several current USC students who drew on their firsthand experiences as they ideated, filmed, directed, and edited the PSA.
"Working with fellow USC students and the Seize the Awkward team on this PSA allowed me to share how important mental health awareness is in my life, especially through my experiences as a student-athlete," said Williams. "I hope everyone sees the importance of supporting your friends and what a huge difference that can make in someone's life."
Williams, who has committed to advocating for mental health and anti-bullying through his foundation, Caleb Cares, also spoke at the live premiere of the PSA yesterday at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. The event included a first look at the PSA and a panel moderated by USC Annenberg Dean Willow Bay. Panelists included Williams; members of the student production team; JED's Director of School Engagement, Erica Riba and the Ad Council's Creators for Good Director, Elena Havas Taylor. Bonus content from the panel will be released on the @SeizeTheAwkward Instagram.
Williams is the latest in a rich history of trusted messengers and celebrities who have lent their voices to share the message of Seize the Awkward since the campaign first launched in January 2018. Billie Eilish, Aminé, Orion Carloto, Lauv, Noah Cyrus and more have all shared their personal stories about how talking with friends about mental health has made an impact.
"All indicators show how needed this campaign and message are during this time. AFSP thanks Caleb Williams and the USC team for creating the video and encouraging young people to continue supporting each other and staying connected. That support for one another will save lives," shared AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia.
"This PSA comes at a very important time, as we know that young people are facing increasing levels of anxiety and depression as they grapple with uncertainty, isolation, and loss resulting from the pandemic, as well as concern about school shootings, incidents of bias and racism, climate change, and loss of reproductive rights and autonomy, among other stressors," said JED CEO John MacPhee. "It is important for young people to hear from their peers that it's OK to open up and talk about their experiences."

- Centinel Spine now has four FDA-approved cervical total disc replacement (TDR) devices for 1-level indications, offering the broadest spectrum of solutions to address surgeon preference and individual patient anatomy.
- Centinel Spine continues its leadership in total disc replacement, becoming the first-and-only company with a portfolio that allows matching the disc to patient anatomy.
- The variety of cervical TDR endplate configurations, coupled with the proven and well-documented prodisc® CORE technology, represents a major advancement in patient care.
- The prodisc technology is the most studied and clinically-proven TDR system in the world, validated by over 540 published papers.
WEST CHESTER, Pa., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Centinel Spine®, LLC, a leading global medical device company addressing cervical and lumbar spinal disease through anterior surgical access, today announced the first implantation of its prodisc® C Vivo Cervical Total Disc Replacement (TDR) product. In July, the company received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for 1-level indications for prodisc C Vivo, prodisc C SK, and prodisc C Nova. Along with the currently available prodisc C implant, which remains the most studied TDR technology, Centinel Spine now has the broadest offering of cervical TDR solutions in the world to address surgeon preference and individual patient anatomy.
The first prodisc C Vivo procedure was performed in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX by orthopedic spine surgeon Jason Tinley, MD, founder of DFW Center for Spinal Disorders.
"This patient had severe left-sided neck pain radiating into the forearm and thumb and a left C5/6 disc herniation," said Dr. Jason Tinley. "Having the intraoperative options of a convex dome with spikes (prodisc C Vivo) versus a flat endplate component with keel (prodisc C) gave me the modularity to maximize endplate contact and stability, thus decreasing bone removal, risk of heterotopic ossification, subsidence, or implant failure. Ultimately, this allows me to best restore motion while also minimizing risk," Dr. Tinley adds.
Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray stated, "This is a historic milestone for the company, and we appreciate the support from our surgeon partners. Total disc replacement is one of the fastest growing global segments in all of orthopedics, and we continue innovating in this area to advance patient care. With our recent regulatory achievements, we are now able to offer surgeons a unique range of options to match the disc to patient anatomy."
The prodisc C Vivo system has been in clinical use internationally since 2009 and is currently one of the most frequently implanted TDR devices outside of the U.S. The device has keel-less fixation and combines a unique anatomically-designed superior endplate with lateral spikes to optimize fit and provide immediate fixation. Similar to all prodisc products, the prodisc C Vivo device incorporates prodisc CORE technology, the basis behind the predictable clinical outcomes of the prodisc platform after 30 years and over 225,000 implantations worldwide*.

A TikToker has done a rendition of the viral 'corn kid' song as Eminem - and it's actually incredibly accurate.
Mimicking the rapper's mannerisms to the tune of a love song about sweetcorn, @iamdtg really put his all into the performance.
The original song is a musicalised version of an interview with seven-year-old Tariq, who stole the limelight for his passion towards the vegetable. He has since been named 'corn-bassador' by South Dakota's governor.

61 migrants rescued by freighter off Malta reach Crete
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A group of 61 migrants picked up by a cargo ship from a crippled fishing boat in the central Mediterranean have safely reached the island of Crete hours after a severely ill child on the freighter died while being airlifted to Greece, Greek authorities said Wednesday.
The Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian migrants had reportedly been stranded for days without provisions on a leaking fishing boat near Malta, after trying to sail from Lebanon to Italy about 10 days ago.
“We had tried pressing the Maltese, Italian, and Greek authorities for days to get them to authorize a ship in the vicinity of the migrants to rescue them,” Moroccan-Italian activist Nawal Soufy told the Associated Press. Soufy had been in contact with the migrants on board and rescue freighter, BBC Pearl, via satellite phone.
“We're now waiting for the Greek authorities to respond to our queries about the migrants' current situation.”
On Tuesday, a Greek navy helicopter had airlifted a 4-year-old girl with health problems and her mother off the BBC Pearl, but the child was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital on Crete.
The coast guard said the remaining 33 men, 7 women and 21 children disembarked from the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged ship early Wednesday at the port of Kali Limenes on southern Crete.
Two were taken to hospital with non life-threatening health issues, while the rest were temporarily put up in a sports hall in the town of Moires.
Greek authorities said it was not immediately clear when they were picked up by the freighter, where they had set off from and where they had been heading.
The coast guard said in a statement late Tuesday that the BBC Pearl had rescued them inside Malta’s search and rescue area. It said Greece received a request around midday Tuesday from Maltese authorities, who had been contacted by the cargo ship’s captain, to airlift the mother and child to safety.
The ship then altered course towards Crete to facilitate the airlift, the coast guard statement said.
The migrants on board had told their relatives and volunteer groups by satellite phone earlier that they have been without food, water, and baby formula for days.
A relative of one of the passengers, speaking on condition of anonymity for security reasons, claimed the migrants were lost at sea, as their smuggler did not provide them with a navigation system, compass, or maps on the leaking, overcrowded boat.
The migrants also claimed that three children died due to dehydration before the group was rescued.
Once a country that received refugees, Lebanon has become a launching pad for dangerous migration by sea to Europe, as it struggles with an economic crisis over the past three years that has pulled three-quarters of its population into poverty.
There has been an increase in migrants seeking to travel on unsafe boats from troubled Lebanon to Italy, and Greek authorities have performed several rescues in recent weeks.

Papi of the music trio, 5five, has disclosed that his weakness in life is women, while adding that he has never had to fight over a woman with a man.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, he expressed that he wonders why some men will go out of their way to fight for their girlfriends when there are a lot of them all over.
“My weakness is women, fine women. My preference will not change. I have never fought over women but people fight me over women. There are a lot of women, why will you fight over one?
“Why would you do that? If you are married, you can fight over your wife, but if you are a boyfriend or girlfriend, why would you fight over your girlfriend? There are some fools like that, but I don't fight over women,” he said.
According to the artiste, he moves to the next woman when one tells him no, without wasting time trying to convince her to stay with him.
“Women are my weakness, but you need to know that you can't have her when you tell her you like her and she isn't feeling your vibe. Move to the next one. Women have rejected me.
“They say things like 'you will sleep within me and leave me', as if their first boyfriends are still with them. Women leave me too because in a relationship when she gets so much attention at the start and as time goes on, things won't be the same,” he added.
Narrating how he sometimes gets dumped by women; he expressed that the attraction he has for them fades with time, and so does the attention he gives the women.
“If I call you seven times a day as time goes on it will be like three or two because I chop finish because things will change.
“It’s an advice to women. Leave the guys to work and if they don't work you will say they are useless men,” he disclosed.

A live-streamed video led police to arrest three men on suspicion of torching a car and dealing drugs.
Cheshire Police said patrols encountered a Kia Picanto ablaze on Hale Road at 2.57am on Wednesday morning. Firefighters were called to the scene to extinguish the flames.
A force spokeswoman said officers were made aware of a live-stream video being broadcast on social media. After watching the footage, they gained entry to a property on Montgomery Road.

Police arrested two men aged 19 and 24, and a boy aged 17, all from Widnes and all on suspicion of arson and possession with intent to supply Class B drugs, namely cannabis.
The 19-year-old was further arrested for criminal damage.
They remained in custody being questioned by officers at time of writing on Wednesday.
A picture of the car posted on the Broadheath Police page on Facebook showed the damaged Picanto.
Inspector Rob McLoughlin, of Widnes Local Policing Unit, said: “At this current time this appears to be a deliberate act that is believed to have been done wholly for the purpose of hits on social media.
“There was no regard for the safety of the local community or the owner of the vehicle.
“Thankfully as a result of the work of quick-thinking local officers, we have been able to identify three suspects in relation to the incident and they are currently being held in custody.”
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Cheshire Police via cheshire.police.uk quoting IML 1361109 or call 101.
A car was also destroyed by fire on The Copse in Palacefields, Runcorn, at 3.41pm.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was "totally destroyed".
Officials have not stated any suspected link between the incidents.

Ohio State’s season-opening win against Notre Dame was important for many reasons.
It was the first look at the defense since it gave up 950 yards in the final two games of the 2021 season. New defensive coordinator Jim Knowles is off to a strong start as Ohio State held Notre Dame to 253 yards and just 2.5 yards per carry.
Saturday was also a chance for an offense many believe can be the best in the country to show off its skills. But it left the game with a major question: How’s the health of star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba?
The 6-foot-1 junior left the game in the first half with a lower-body injury, returned for a play and then departed for the rest of the game.
Smith-Njigba’s injury isn’t expected to be a long-term problem, but coach Ryan Day, in his Tuesday press conference, didn’t go into many details.
He did add that Smith-Njigba will not be rushed back Saturday against Arkansas State if there’s a risk of him getting re-injured.
“When you have a more experienced guy who has played then you can kind of trust him to give you some feedback,” Day said. “It’s one of those things we are trying to figure out.”
Smith-Njigba’s practice regime this week is still up in the air, which means the Buckeyes may have to look elsewhere at receiver if he can’t go Saturday.
Young receivers will be asked to step up
Smith-Njigba’s injury wasn’t what anybody wanted to see. The Texas native is one of the leaders of the team both on and off the field.
The good thing for Ohio State is that it’s not short on talent at receiver — the talent is just young. Quarterback C.J. Stroud, who threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns against Notre Dame, raved about Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jayden Ballard on Tuesday afternoon.
The trio of second-year players combined for 160 yards, one touchdown and 16 of the team’s 24 receptions. They’re going to play a vital role for as long as Smith-Njigba is out.
“X (Xavier Johnson) will have a big game, Emeka and Marvin again, JB (Ballard) will have a good game again,” Stroud said. “It’s an opportunity for everybody to have a good game and go out there and try to dominate and compete.”
Egbuka, especially, showed off his talents against Notre Dame. He caught his first career touchdown pass and was the favorite target for Stroud, racking up nine receptions. Stroud believes Egbuka and Harrison fit the offense perfectly.
“That first game put a little taste in their mouths of what they could do,” Stroud said. “I’m just super excited to see what they can do.”
Losing Smith-Njigba hurts Ohio State’s offense, obviously. It was evident in the first half when the Buckeyes totaled just seven points and 149 yards. It might take awhile for Stroud to get timing down with the other receivers. It’s just part of football. There were times Saturday when Stroud looked perfectly in sync with his receivers, like on the touchdown to Johnson when Notre Dame sent man blitz pressure on third down and on the TD pass to Egbuka in the first quarter.
There were also occasions when it was evident the timing and chemistry wasn’t quite there.
There’s a positive to this situation, though. The longer Ohio State goes without Smith-Njigba — and let’s be honest, the Buckeyes don’t need him Saturday against Arkansas State — the more chemistry Stroud will build with the younger receivers.
That added experience together will make Ohio State even more dangerous when Smith-Njigba is back.
Defensive line dominates
One of the bigger conversation topics Tuesday was the defense.
It was Knowles’ first game in the booth at Ohio Stadium, and the Buckeyes needed a good showing.
Notre Dame’s plan was simple — run the ball and control the clock. Day was pleased with his defensive line’s ability to slow down the Irish run game.
“Being able to run the ball, stop the run, control the game in the second half and play good defense is what we have to be able to do, and we did that,” Day said.
Ohio State isn’t always going to be in close, low-scoring games. The offense averaged 45.7 points last year, and it’s going to find its rhythm again. But it’s significant that this year’s team showed it can win an “ugly” game against a top-five opponent.
Teams that win national championships don’t win playing just one way. Georgia didn’t score an offensive touchdown in its first game of the 2021 season and then scored 67 points combined in its two College Football Playoff games against Michigan and Alabama.
For Day, it was good to see that the Buckeyes could win up front against a physical team.
This very well could be Ohio State’s identity. There are bright spots at every level of the defense. The secondary is deep. Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers are staples in the middle at linebacker. Mike Hall Jr., could be an emerging young star up front, defensive end Zach Harrison was an All-Big-Ten player a year ago and J.T. Tuimoloau had a tackle for a loss Saturday.
Ohio State’s defense is eager to have a bounce-back season, and it’s off to a good start under Knowles. To reach their national championship potential, the Buckeyes need more of the same from its defensive front as the season progresses.
Depth at safety pleases coaching staff
New safeties coach Perry Eliano made a quick lineup change Saturday.
The first play of the game was a 54-yard pass from Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner to wide receiver Lorenzo Styles that was set up by a missed tackle from safety Josh Proctor.
Eliano pulled Proctor out of the game, which he said was to calm him down, and put in Lathan Ransom. Proctor didn’t go back in, and Ransom finished second on the team with seven tackles.
It might look as though Ransom has taken Proctor’s spot in the lineup, potentially for good, but Eliano said that isn’t the case. He was just riding the hot hand.
“Proctor is a great young man who has a huge role on this football team,” Eliano said. “I love him. I trust him, Lathan, I feel the same way about. It wasn’t planned like that, but I wanted to calm Josh down, and Lathan continued to play because he got in rhythm.”
Ohio State knew it had talent and depth at safety in the offseason, but knowing you have potential and seeing it under the lights on the first week is a different thing. The Buckeyes saw right away that they can rotate players at the position.
Ronnie Hickman was all over the field and recorded four tackles. Ransom had a good day. Proctor is still going to play a vital role this year, and Tanner McCalister, who played for Knowles at Oklahoma State last season, made one tackle and looked good in his time on the field.
More than the depth, though, Eliano was pleased with how the safeties overcame adversity.
“You want to see that at some point,” he said. “You don’t know when it’s going to happen and it happened right off the bat, but our guys stayed locked in. I’m very, very proud of that.”
The safeties weren’t perfect Saturday, but their showing is positive for a team that didn’t rotate much — Notre Dame had only 48 offensive snaps — but will in the future as part of Knowles 4-2-5 scheme.
That depth will be important for Ohio State as the season progresses.

England star Keira Walsh completes £400k move to Barcelona as Spanish giants smash the women's transfer record to sign midfielder from Manchester City on three-year deal
- Keira Walsh has joined Barcelona from Manchester City for a world-record fee
- The England star penned a three-year deal to switch to the Spanish champions
- She joins Lucy Bronze and Georgia Stanway as players to exit City this summer
- The defensive midfielder played a pivotal role in England's Euro 2022 success
England midfielder Keira Walsh has joined Barcelona for a world-record fee from Manchester City, penning a three-year contract with the Spanish club.
The Euro 2022 winner, who had entered the final year of her contract at City following eight years at the club, is now the most expensive female footballer in history.
The £400,000 paid by Barcelona for Walsh has smashed the previous record set by Chelsea, who splashed over £250,000 on Danish star Pernille Harder in 2020.
Manchester City midfielder Keira Walsh has completed her world-record move to Barcelona
City had previously snubbed multiple offers from the Catalan club, who clinched their third successive title in the Spanish top flight last campaign.
Walsh played a pivotal role during the Lionesses' Euro 2022 success, anchoring Sarina Wiegman's midfield in every match during the competition.
The defensive midfielder won the Player of the Match award during England's final against Germany, marshalling here side to a 2-1 victory in extra-time at Wembley.
The England star exits City after eight years for a reported fee worth in the region of £400,000
The midfield anchor was instrumental during the Lionesses' Euro 2022 triumph this summer
After confirming Walsh's departure, Man City released a statement on the club website which read: 'Everybody at Manchester City would like to thank Keira for her contributions during her time at the Club and wish her all the best for the future.'
Walsh follows in the footsteps of fellow Euro 2022 champion Lucy Bronze, who also made the switch from Man City to Barcelona earlier this summer.
The English club have also waved farewell to Walsh's international team-mate Georgia Stanway, who joined Bayern Munich after breaking City's all-time goal-scoring record last season.
Club veterans Ellen White and Jill Scott have left Man City as well, following their announcement to retire from football last month.

Chainsaw Man Anime Announces Release Date
When it comes to big anime series, few titles can compare to Chainsaw Man, and the show isn't even out yet. This year, the hit manga will head to television under the watchful eyes of Studio MAPPA. Of course, the story's popularity means all eyes are on the anime ahead of its release. And at last, we have learned when exactly the show will be going live.
The update comes from Japan as new reports have gone live regarding Chainsaw Man's release date. According to these updates, the anime is slated to go live on October 11th. At this time, fans are not sure what time slot the series will have in Japan, but they can expect a late release. After all, MAPPA has assured everyone the anime will not be censored, and Chainsaw Man is gory enough to warrant a late-night slot.

Mayor John Suthers to award Lyda Hill Spirit of the Springs Lifetime Achievement
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- On Thursday, entrepreneur and American philanthropist, Lyda Hill is expected to be awarded the Spirit of the Springs Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by Major John Suthers.
Born and raised in Texas, Hill calls Colorado Springs her second home. Growing up, she spent her childhood in Southern Colorado.
Hill funds initiatives that focus on crucial issues including water conservation, green spaces, and medical research, according to the City of Colorado Springs.
In 1967, Hill began her career by establishing Hill World Travel, which was sold 15 years later. From there, Hill served as president of Seven Falls and built the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center, funding the maintenance for Garden of the Gods Park.
“It’s impossible to measure the enormity of the impact Lyda Hill has made on the City of Colorado Springs,” said Mayor John Suthers. “Her love of our community, visionary leadership and philanthropy are unparalleled.”
Countless organizations and Colorado Springs causes were funded by Hill. Many places were impacted thanks to Hill's vision and generosity including the Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and more. Currently, Hill is involved in many Colorado Springs initiatives such as a revitalize 7-mile stretch of Monument and Fountain Creeks project.
“She has pledged to give the entirety of her wealth to charity and she hopes to do the bulk of it during her lifetime,” said Hill’s friend and colleague, Dolly Wong. “Fortunately for all of us who live in Colorado Springs, we are part of that plan.”

CHICAGO (AP) — United Airlines' third-quarter revenue will be higher than it had expected due to strong summer travel demand.
The Chicago carrier said Wednesday that revenue will be 12% higher than in the same quarter of 2019, up from its previous projection of an 11% increase over pre-pandemic levels.
United paid slightly more than it had expected to for jet fuel, but that was offset by a slightly smaller increase in other costs on a per-seat basis. Profit margins, excluding special items, was about 10.5%, compared with a previous forecast of 10%, the company said.
Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc. rose about 2% with other U.S. airlines rising as well on Wednesday.

Wong (knee) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Rockies.
Wong left Tuesday's game early with left knee discomfort and will now miss at least one game while nursing the injury. With left-hander Kyle Freeland on the mound, it's possible that he would have been absent from the lineup regardless. Keston Hiura will replace him at second base and bat sixth in the series finale.

Singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield has gone from punk rocker to indie artist, but the next step in her musical metamorphosis involved embracing a part of herself that she’d previously shied away from: her Southern country roots.
“In my 20s — when I was super punk, underground and wanted to be as avant-garde as humanly possible — I didn’t want that to be a part of my story,” Crutchfield said during a recent phone interview. “It’s been really freeing to circle back and be really honest about how at the very foundation of my music, this is what’s there.”
Crutchfield, who performs under the moniker Waxahatchee, named after a creek from her childhood home in Alabama, will perform alongside country and Americana acts at the BeachLife Ranch festival in Redondo Beach, Sept. 16-18. She’ll also perform with her new country project Plains, which features singer-songwriter Jess Williamson, at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Oct. 26 and Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown on Friday, Oct. 28.
“At a Waxahatchee show, I go into it as a place for folks to have a lot of feelings and have a good time,” she said. “With Plains, I want people to come out and have a good time. We’re going to play covers, some Waxahatchee songs, some Jess Williamson songs and the entire Plains record. It’ll just be a very fun evening.”
Simplifying the sound
Crutchfield released “Saint Cloud” in 2020, an album that provokes imagery of a warm, scenic country hillside with lilacs, Memphis ember skylines and old Ford pickup trucks. It is driven by clean acoustic guitar licks that celebrate the basic foundations of music that exist without being saturated by distortion effects. The calmness and yearning of the album serve as an insight into what a simple life in the country might be like, in contrast to the loud noises of big cities.
Part of that was inspired by the Detroit band Bonny Doon, who Crutchfield toured with in 2018. She said that hearing the band play her old songs and trusting them with her new material set the path for how she wanted “Saint Cloud” to sound.
Life experiences, such as getting sober, rebuilding her relationship with herself, taking some time away from touring, and moving to Kansas City, Kans. with her partner and fellow musician Kevin Morby, all naturally laid the groundwork for the themes of the finished album.
“I feel like I just relaxed a bit and got to know myself in a deeper way,” she said.
With previous albums, Crutchfield said she would try harder to create an aesthetic and guide the listener to an established genre, whether rock or indie, but Brad Cook, producer and collaborator for “Saint Cloud,” helped steer her in another direction.
“I think the intention with ‘Saint Cloud’ and with Waxahatchee in general from this point forward is not to try to be anything and just write the songs,” she explained. “We tried to go in and just let the song tell us what it is.”
The album was a success and well received by fans and critics alike, with Rolling Stone putting it in the top 10 albums of 2020 and Pitchfork declaring it the second best album of that year. Crutchfield said she felt good about having her work reaffirmed with this success while returning to her roots. She said without “Saint Cloud,” she doesn’t think the Plains project would exist.
A new frontier
Williamson and Crutchfield first met at a social mixer that her partner Morby and she hosted for each of their friends to attend. Crutchfield said that the pair clicked immediately and became fast friends based on their mutual interests.
“I grew up on country music,” Crutchfield said. “All my earliest memories of music are all ’90s country radio like Trisha Yearwood, Alan Jackson, Loretta Lynn and George Jones.”
Williamson and Crutchfield exchanged albums that they both released during the pandemic. They were fans of each other’s work, which sparked the idea for the collaboration that would become Plains.
“Jess and I thought it would be really fun to release a record that leaned all the way into the country aesthetic,” Crutchfield said.
The new record, “I Walked With You a Ways,” is set to be released on Oct. 14. It sounds like something you’d listen to on a porch overlooking vast open plains while watching the sunset. It’s also a nod to some of the genre’s biggest stars like Dolly Parton, The Chicks, The Judds, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.
Crutchfield said that although she’s tired from touring, she’s grateful for how things have turned out and ready for whatever is next.
“I’m very excited and don’t want to give too much away, but I’m deep into writing the next Waxahatchee album,” she said. “I think in hindsight, I’m going to feel so happy with how everything has gone.”

Girls aged 13 and 16 are hit by shrapnel in drive-by shooting outside a party in Manchester: Police launch appeal to track dark blue SUV seen in the area
- An unknown gunman fired the weapon from a car into a crowd of people at party
- Two teens were injured but were not the intended targets of shooting, police say
- Detectives have now released an image of a car they would like help to locate
Police are hunting for an SUV after two girls were injured in a drive-by shooting in south Manchester.
The victims - aged 13 and 16 - were both taken to hospital after gunshots were fire outside a house in the Moss Side area, on July 29.
Both teenagers suffered injuries believe to have been caused by shrapnel from the firearm, investigators have said, slamming those responsible as 'dangerous with zero regard for who could have been injured' that night.
Appealing to the public for help to track down a vehicle linked to the crime, police have now released a CCTV still of the wanted SUV as well as a stock image of a Seat Arona they believe matches the vehicle description.
Police are hunting for this car after two girls were injured in a drive-by shooting in Manchester

Greater Manchester Police previously said the incident was being treated as attempted murder.
Police believe the vehicle is a Seat Arone
Detectives believe the girls - who are now recovering at home - were not the intended targets, but were shot outside a home in Quinney Crescent.
The party was a family gathering to mark the first anniversary of the death of Joan Spence, a 70-year-old woman who died in a crash the previous year.
Police say that the girls were 'lucky' to have not been killed after being caught in the crossfire.
In a renewed appeal, cops have now identified a 'vehicle of interest' and anyone who saw a dark-coloured SUV-type vehicle in the area on the night is being urged to come forward.
Anyone with dashcam or doorbell footage, taken between around 10pm and 11pm, is also being urged to get in touch with detectives as they try to track down those responsible.

Detective Inspector Madeline Kelly, of Xcalibre Task Force, said: 'This incident could have been far more serious.
'We do not believe that the two girls were the intended targets, they were just at the address enjoying a party.
'This shows me that those responsible are dangerous and have zero regard for who could have been injured that night.
'Guns have no place on the streets of Manchester and we are determined to bring those responsible for this callous attack to justice.
'I am appealing to anyone who was in the Moss Side area on Friday 29 of July, between 10pm and 11pm, who may have seen a vehicle being driven erratically to contact us.
'I am particularly interested in any sightings of a dark-coloured SUV-type car and I am asking for anyone with dashcam or doorbell footage which may have captured those responsible, either arriving or leaving the area, to please make contact.

'I have trained officers on hand who can download and review any footage.
'I am also appealing to anyone in the local community, or wider, who has any information about the incident to come forward either directly or via Crimestoppers.'
Anyone with information can contact police directly by calling 0161 856 6015 or 101.

White daughter of Maine pageant queen quits role as indigenous college dean after being accused of LYING that she's Native American to land job while peddling $35,000 tribal quilts
- Gina Adams, born in Connecticut, claimed said that the idea for her ingenious-inspired artwork came to her in 'dreams,' courtesy of her to her Anishinaabeg ancestors
- But internet sleuths dug into her background and found that her grandfather and relatives are in fact white, with no link to Native Americans
- White Earth Reservation had declined her membership since they couldn't track that she had any relatives linked to the tribe
The white daughter of a Maine pageant queen has quit her role as an indigenous college dean after being accused of lying that she's Native American to land the job while peddling tribal quilts for $35,000.
Alleged identity fraudster Gina Adams, born in Connecticut, claimed that the idea for her ingenious-inspired artwork came to her in 'dreams,' courtesy of her to her Anishinaabeg ancestors - but her heritage has now been called into question.
Instead of the rich indigenous background she proclaimed in her job and artwork, Adams is the daughter of a former pageant star and great-granddaughter of a white World War One veteran, reports Maclean's.
And White Earth Reservation - the community she claims to have descended from - declined her membership and said they couldn't find any of her relatives who were enrolled as descendants.
She became a professor at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada, in August 2019 as part of a targeted cluster hire to employ more Indigenous faculty members.
Adams said that her great-great-grandfather was the Ojibwe chief Wabanquot - who was a signatory to the Treaty with the Chippewa of the Mississippi.
She said that her grandfather was born and raised on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota - and would speak to her in Ojibwe when she had dramatic nightmares of Native Americans being massacred.
Gina Adams has resigned from her job at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada, after accusations came to light that she had been lying about her indigenous heritage
Adams claimed that her great-great-grandfather was the Ojibwe chief Wabanquot (pictured) - who was a signatory to the Treaty with the Chippewa of the Mississippi
But when sleuths started digging into her heritage, her rich tribal history - for which she had landed her job - seemed to come crashing down.
According to documents, her grandfather was in fact Albert Theriault - a white man born in Massachusetts in 1906 to French-Canadian parents.
And Albert's father Henry Theriault - Gina's great-grandfather - was also a far cry from Native American. In fact, he was also a white man who was drafted in the First World War, according to census records and documents obtained by Maclean's.
Her mother, Elaine, was a teenage pageant queen in York, Maine.
The bombshell expose revealed that the former professor and assistant dean of the University was peddling lies about her heritage - which she then profited off with her work, which she is said to sell for up to $35,000.
In an unearthed clip from 2018, Adams was seen giving a lecture at Dartmouth College on her indigenous artwork, and greeted the audience in native Anishinaabemowin language.
She announced to the crowd: 'Boozhoo, aaniin anishinaabee nowadow,' before recanting her grandfather's 'troubled' past, when he was sent to an assimilation school in Pennsylvania - which was first exposed as a lie by an anonymous Twitter account.
Adams- now rather ironically - also warned those in the lecture about robbing people's identities and trying to steal indigenous culture and use it for their own.
She said: 'Appropriating is something that you should really be careful with, with any Indigenous culture.
'You're really robbing a culture, you're really robbing an identity. You're really just trying to own something that's not yours.'
First bringing her false identity to light in 2021, NoMoreRedFace accused Adams of faking her grandfather's residential school survivor story and using her 'native' background to sell quilts for thousands and land a job as a professor in Aboriginal art.
The internet investigator had tracked down her real family tree - and called out art curators who had platformed Adams' work as part of a showcase of Indigenous artists.
But Adams clapped back. She sent an email to members of the University's community detailing the convenient way her grandfather Albert had no birth certificate, changed his surname, and therefore had no link to Carlisle School, where he was sent to in his younger years.
In the statement, she said: 'To those people on social media who have questioned my legitimate heritage, I say nothing.
'To my gallerists, my university and my wider Indigenous communities whom I deeply respect, I am happy to share my family lineage.'
Professor Mimi Gellman and Brenda Crabtree, who is the Aboriginal program manager at Adams' university, backed the professor and said they believed her heritage claims - despite the sensational online accusations.
During her hiring process, they described her as 'a contemporary Indigenous hybrid artist of Ojibwa Anishinaabe and Lakota descent.'
It was only when the claims of her lies were detailed by Macleans that her university said they are 'carefully considering' how to move forward with hiring people as part of their 'indigenization' campaign.
They confirmed Gina Adams resigned from her position at Emily Carr University on August 25, 2022.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that White Earth Reservation had declined her membership since they couldn't track that she had any relatives linked to the tribe.
Shannon Heisler, the enrolments director for the tribe, told Maclean's: 'We don't have her, or her parent or grandparent, with any links to this tribe.
'People are upset because she's been claiming she's a descendant. I can't find any documentation that would link her or her family to White Earth.'
In 2015, Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada made a call for the federal government to remove the education gap between Indigenous people and other Canadians - which was an initiative many colleges agreed to.
But as a result of creating fierce competition for Indigenous hires, many colleges have found themselves in the middle of identity fraud scandals.

Fracking could return to Lancashire as Downing Street hint ban could be lifted under Truss
Downing Street has hinted that the fracking ban could be lifted when Liz Truss sets out a new package to help deal with the energy crisis, meaning the practice could return to Lancashire.
At the beginning of this year, it seemed that more than a decade of controversy over fracking for gas in the UK was over, when energy company Cuadrilla announced that the country’s only two shale wells were to be abandoned.
But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed energy prices and security to the top of the agenda, prompting calls for the Government to rethink the moratorium it had imposed on fracking in England in 2019 in the wake of tremors in Lancashire.
In her campaign to become Prime Minister, Ms Truss said in an interview: “I support exploring fracking in parts of the United Kingdom where that can be done.”

Today (September 7), the Prime Minister’s press secretary said: “She made clear her position during the campaign but I’m not going to get into what’s in this energy package.”
He insisted that the Conservative Party’s 2019 manifesto – which said the Tories will not support fracking unless the science shows categorically that it can be done safely – still stands in full.
But he added: “I’m not going to get into what’s in the energy statement tomorrow.”
Any moves to lift the moratorium would be heavily criticised by opponents who have long warned that fracking can cause earthquakes, water contamination, noise and traffic pollution.
Environmentalists also warn that pursuing new sources of gas – a fossil fuel – is not compatible with efforts to tackle climate change, and the focus should be on developing cleaner sources of energy such as renewables.
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a process in which liquid is pumped deep underground at high pressure to fracture shale rock and release gas or oil trapped within it.
The hint that the ban on fracking could be reversed came as two senior advisers – the heads of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) and the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) – warned that UK gas reserves are too small to make a difference to consumer energy costs, which are set by international gas prices.
CCC chairman Lord Deben and NIC chairman Sir John Armitt said in a letter to the new PM that the UK cannot address the crisis over soaring energy prices solely by increasing production of natural gas.
“Greater domestic production of fossil fuels may improve energy security, particularly this winter,” they wrote.
“But our gas reserves – offshore or from shale – are too small to impact meaningfully the prices faced by UK consumers.”
They suggested the Government should focus on a push to help millions of households save energy, back cheap onshore wind and solar farms, and low-carbon heat pumps to reduce the UK’s reliance on gas as the best way to tackle the crisis.
Friends of the Earth campaigner Danny Gross said: “Fracking is disruptive, unpopular and will do little to boost energy security or bring down bills.
“Fossil fuels are at the root of so many of the problems we currently face.
“We need clean, modern solutions to the energy and climate crises. That means insulation, energy efficiency and developing cheap renewables like onshore wind and solar.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve will need to continue lifting its short-term interest rate to a level that restricts economic growth and keep it there for an extended period, a top Fed official said Wednesday.
In her remarks to a banking industry conference, Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard echoed similarly tough comments about inflation delivered by Chair Jerome Powell late last month in Jackson Hole. Other Fed officials have also in recent weeks emphasized their views that the Fed has to push borrowing costs higher to bring down inflation, currently near a four-decade high.
“We are in this for as long as it takes to get inflation down,” Brainard said in prepared remarks. “Our resolve is firm, our goals are clear, and our tools are up to the task.”
The Fed's benchmark interest rate “will need to rise further” and stay at a level high enough to slow the economy “for some time to provide confidence that inflation is moving down” to the Fed's 2% target, Brainard said. In July, prices were 8.5% higher than a year earlier.
The stream of tough rhetoric on inflation from Fed policymakers has led many economists to anticipate a third sharp rate hike of three-quarters of a point at the Fed's next meeting in two weeks. If so, it would extend a rapid pace of rate hikes, the fastest since the early 1980s.
Also Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reiterated her determination to push interest rates higher to get inflation under control. Higher borrowing costs won't necessarily cause a recession, she said, but they raise the chances of one.
Even if the U.S. manages to avoid an economic downturn, Mester said, higher rates will slow growth, disrupt stock and bond markets, and lift unemployment.
“This will be painful in the near term but so is high inflation,” she said in an online discussion with MNI, a news wire.

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.

Many underestimate their monthly subscription costs by at least $100, survey finds
From streaming to beauty boxes to food, there are many monthly subscription services available — and recent research suggests that you may be paying for more than you realize.
More than half (54%) of consumers underestimated their monthly spending on subscriptions by at least $100, according to a survey by market research firm C+R Research. Twenty-four percent underestimated by $200 or more.
The survey included 1,000 U.S. adults and was evenly split among Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, and Baby Boomer age ranges. It asked people to think generally about the number of subscription services they use, and in 10 seconds, estimate how much they spend per month. Later, they were given more time to individually calculate their monthly subscription costs.
On average, people misjudged their subscription costs by $133, which is nearly $1,600 a year, according to the survey.
Not only do consumers lose track of their payments, but they also forget how many services they subscribe to after setting the payments to auto-pay, the survey found.
About three-quarters (74%) said it was easy to forget about their recurring monthly subscription charges. Meanwhile, 42% said they had stopped using a subscription service but forgot they were still paying for it, with Gen Z being most likely to forget and Boomers least likely. Almost one-quarter (22%) said they felt overwhelmed with the number of subscription services they had.
A report released earlier this year from media research firm Nielsen also revealed that people are overwhelmed with the sheer volume of streaming options. And the number of people who paid for three or more streaming services also continued to grow over the past three years.
In 2019, 8% said they paid for four or more platforms. By 2022, that figure jumped to 18%, according to Nielsen.
Roughly 7% paid for six or more streaming platforms in 2022.

How to track your monthly subscriptions
With the increase in monthly subscription services, several companies and banks offer subscription tracking programs and apps. Many of these programs offer a snapshot to people of how many subscriptions they pay for and how much they’re being charged per month.
About 10% said they use these services, with Mint being the most popular (34%), followed by Truebill (10%) and Chase (9%).
Those who subscribed through Apple’s App Store can manage their subscriptions on the iPhone by going to Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. From there, people can tap the service they want to cancel and select Cancel Subscription.
Android users can also do this via Google Play by clicking the profile icon in the app and selecting Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions to view a list of services. From there, they can choose a service and tap Cancel subscription.
This story was reported from Cincinnati.

Meek Mill has a request if you’re tying the knot in October. He wants to perform his classic intro at your wedding reception.
The Philly rapper took to Twitter on Tuesday (September 6) and put the word out for any couple getting ready to jump the broom. His reasoning? His anthem (and debut album) will be celebrating its tenth anniversary around that same time.
“If you get married in October … ima commit to performing dreams & nightmares at a wedding for free for the 10 year Anniversary,” he wrote.
“Dreams & Nightmares” has taken on a life of its own since its release in October 2012. The record has been used as a call-and-response moment in the club, at parties, graduations and more. Meek’s hometown Philadelphia Eagles used the song as motivation and their theme song to their run to the Super Bowl in 2018 and stands as one of the definitive, if not the definitive song in his catalog.

The success of “Dreams & Nightmares” has not only parlayed into a successful major label career for Meek, but he’s also expanded his portfolio with several investments, including the purchase of clothing retailer Mitchell & Ness. Sports retailer Fanatics, helmed by Meek’s good friend Michael Rubin, owns a 75% stake in Mitchell & Ness. The rest is divided between a celebrity group composed of Meek, JAY-Z, Maverick Carter and the TikTok famous D’Ameilo family.
“Fashion is cyclical, but classics are forever,” Hov said of the acquisition. “Mitchell & Ness is a true classic. I was an early adopter of this brand, as well as a part of a departure from athletic wear. I’m proud to play a small role in bringing it back, and in some cases, introducing the authenticity and quality of the Mitchell & Ness brand to a new generation.”

With summer vacations winding down, airlines are counting on the return of more business travelers to keep their pandemic recovery going into the fall.
Air travel in the United States, bolstered by huge numbers of tourists, has nearly recovered to pre-pandemic levels — even topping 2019 numbers over the Labor Day weekend.
Inflation — and especially this year’s sharp rise in airfares — raises concern about how long vacationers can afford to keep flying at their current pace. Airlines say they see no signs of a slowdown in leisure travel.
Business travel, however, remains about 25% to 30% below 2019 levels, according to airlines and outfits that track sales.
And it is not clear when — or if — road warriors will return to their old travel habits.
“The whole challenge for the industry is around the return of the corporate traveler, and whether he is going to come back in enough volume and frequency that is going to help these airlines,” says John Grant, an analyst with travel-data provider OAG.
The Global Business Travel Association recently predicted that corporate travel won’t fully return until mid-2026, 18 months later than the trade group had previously forecast.
Business travelers generally pay higher fares, so their absence has an outsized impact on airline revenue and profit.
Business travel is slower to return because it is more complicated than somebody deciding they want to take a vacation after staying home during the first two years of the pandemic, says Chuck Thackston, who leads data research at the Airlines Reporting Corp., a ticket-settlement firm that operates as a middleman between airlines and travel agents.
“On the corporate side, it just takes a little more to restart that because there are so many moving parts,” Thackston said. “If you want to go visit clients in New York, it could be that nobody is in the office in New York. That is slowly building back.”
Conventions and other big meetings are another key driver of business travel, and also seem to be coming back, Thackston said.
Airline officials say that travel by small-business operators has recovered nearly fully, but that many corporate travelers have not returned to the road or skies. They say that during the pandemic, some companies imposed tougher restrictions for health and budget reasons — even requiring that high-level executives approve all travel.
The chief commercial officer of Southwest Airlines, Andrew Watterson, said that since business travel began picking up this spring, “it was skewed toward smaller businesses and government and education were traveling. Our largest corporates are the ones that are lagging, particularly banking, consulting and technology.”
Watterson said that among Southwest’s biggest corporate accounts, they all have employees traveling — but not as many of them, and not as often.
Southwest officials said Tuesday that the next two weeks will be critical to gauge demand for business travel.
The nature of business travel is changing as companies become accustomed to smaller travel budgets. Some trips are being replaced by video calls, perhaps permanently. Speculative sales trips could be especially easy for companies to cut.
Conventions now routinely offer a “hybrid” format with an option to stay behind and watch online — although that means missing the hallway conversations and other opportunities to network.
Standard & Poor’s said this week that many convention center operators are running summer and fall schedules similar to those in 2019, but a recession or new COVID-19 variant are still risks.
Vasu Raja, the chief commercial officer at American Airlines, said demand has dropped for one-day business trips in which someone leaves in the morning and flies home that evening.
“But interestingly, we’ve seen more demand for blended trips where somebody leaves on a Thursday from Dallas to go to New York, they don’t return on the Friday — they stay through the weekend and they come back on Sunday,” he said. Sometimes a spouse goes with them, he added.
Business travel is big business worldwide. The Global Business Travel Association estimates that it was worth more than $1.4 trillion in 2019, then plummeted by more than half each of the next two years. The trade group estimates that after being hindered by the omicron variant early this year, business travel will hit $933 billion in 2022 — still 35% below the pre-pandemic mark.
The widespread availability of vaccines and better treatment of COVID-19 — along with relaxation of mandatory quarantines and other travel restrictions — have boosted leisure and corporate travel. However, travel is now threatened by deteriorating economic conditions including surging inflation and labor shortages. New COVID-19 variants remain a concern among travel managers, particularly in Asia.
The cost of travel is expected to keep rising, putting pressure on corporate budgets. A recent report from travel-management company CWT predicted that fares paid by business travelers will rise nearly 50% this year and 8% next year, and hotel rates will rise 19% this year and 8% in 2023.
Most U.S. airlines reported profits for the April-through-June second quarter. For American and United, it was their first profitable quarter excluding government aid since the pandemic started, and they should be in the black for the third quarter, which ends with vacation-heavy July and August.
Business travel traditionally enjoys a peak in the spring and another in September and October. Airlines are about to find out whether that happens this year.
“There has been a lot of discussion about, yeah, business travel is coming back, and U.S. airline CEOs being quite bullish about it,” said Grant, the OAG analyst. “But the hard evidence now needs to come forward.”

Pakistan restrict Afghanistan to 129-6 in Asia Cup clash
Issued on: Modified:
Sharjah (United Arab Emirates) (AFP) – Fast bowler Haris Rauf led an inspired Pakistan bowling attack that limited Afghanistan to 129-6 on Wednesday as they look to seal a spot in the Asia Cup final.
Rauf took 2-26 after Pakistan elected to field first knowing victory would secure a place in Sunday's final against Sri Lanka and knock India out of the T20 tournament.
Afghanistan struggled to put together any significant partnerships, with Ibrahim Zadran (35) the lone batsman to put up some genuine fight.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz started cautiously before hitting pace bowler Mohammad Hasnain for two straight sixes at the end of the second over.
Hazratullah Zazai joined in with a few boundaries but soon lost his partner after Rauf bowled Gurbaz with an angling delivery that clipped the off stump.
Zazai's innings was cut short by Hasnain who bowled the left-handed opener on 21.
Ibrahim and Karim Janat attempted to rebuild against a disciplined Pakistan spin attack, which kept the scoring to under seven an over.
Janat looked to launch left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz into the stands but succeeded only in skying to long-on.
Afghanistan kept losing wickets and fast bowler Naseem Shah bowled Mohammad Nabi for a first-ball duck in the captain's 100th T20 international as Afghanistan slipped to 91-5.
Ibrahim took Afghanistan past 100 but soon fell caught behind to Hasnain.
Rashid Khan added some runs to the total, hitting Rauf for a four and six in the final over to finish unbeaten on 18 off 15 balls.

Due to the expensive energy, the bread is likely to reach 6 euros per kilo. The alarm was raised by the president of Unipan, Confcommercio’s Union of Bakers of Campania, Mimmo Filosa: “With quintupled bills that make operating costs unsustainable, companies are faced with the alternative of increasing the price of bread up to 5-6 euros per kilo, or go out of business », he said speaking at the meeting of the Agriculture Commission of the Campania Region.
The alarm launched in Naples is coupled with the estimates on the price of milk made known at the end of August by Granarolo and Lactalis in a joint statement: in the absence of public interventions, the two giants of the dairy sector argue, the price of milk could this autumn easily exceed 2 euros per liter.
The high prices are already cutting the food purchases of Italians: according to an analysis by Coldiretti on the first seven months of 2022, consumers have already reduced their food spending by 3.2%. Yet despite this tightening on the stock exchange cord, the result was still a 3.6% increase in spending due to inflation. The only goods to increase concern low-cost food, with food discounters showing a 9.6% jump in sales in value in the first seven months, the highest in detail.

The EIA raises 2022 demand forecast by 20,000 bpd to +2.10mbpd y/y Cuts 2023 demand growth by 90k bpd to 1.97 mbpd y/y Sees 2022 US output of 11.79 mbpd up 540kbpd this year vs +610k prior Output to rise 840k bpd in 2023 to 12.63mbpd 2023 US demand to rise 350k vs 410k last month The big question is: How much will US production grow? I'll take the 'under' on what they're projecting, especially with prices falling again today. It's the time of year when oil companies begin discussions on 2023 budgets and with prices here, the first call on capital won't be new drilling. Moreover, the inventory of DUCs is essentially exhausted and there are widespread reports of drill pipe shortages, rigs and workers.
Put another way, here are the numbers from Giovanni Staunovo:
That's to 12.32m from 11.71 in the period from July to December. Or increasing 610,000 barrels per day in five months. Or as he replied to me:
11.71 july 11.86 aug 11.86 sep 11.94 oct 12.22 nov 12.32 dec
That's aggressive.
In any case, WTI crude oil
Crude Oil
Crude oil is the most popular tradable instrument in the energy sector, offering exposure to global market conditions, geopolitical risk, and economics. The instrument is strategically relied upon and situated in the global economy. Crude oil has proven to be a unique option for traders given volatility and the efficacy of both swing trading and longer-term strategies. Despite its popularity, crude oil is a very complex investing instrument, given the litany of fluctuations in oil prices, risk, and impact of politics stemming from OPEC. Short for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC operates as an intergovernmental organization of 13 countries, helping set and dictate the global oil market.How to Trade Crude Oil Crude oil is most commonly traded as an exchange-traded fund (ETF) or through other instruments with exposure to it. This includes energy stocks, the USD/CAD, and other investing options. Crude oil itself is traded across a duality of markets, including the West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTI) and Brent crude. Brent is the more relied upon index in recent years, while WTI is more heavily traded across futures trading at the time of writing. Other than geopolitical events or decisions by OPEC, crude oil can move due to a variety of different ways. The most basic is through simple supply and demand, which is affected by global output. Increased industrial output, economic prosperity, and other factors all play a role in crude prices. By extension, recessions, lockdowns, or other stifling factors can also influence crude prices. For example, an oversupply or mitigated demand due to the aforementioned factors would result in lower crude prices. This is due to traders selling crude oil futures or other instruments. Should demand rise or production plateau, traders will bid increasingly on crude, whereby driving prices up.

For example, an oversupply or mitigated demand due to the aforementioned factors would result in lower crude prices. This is due to traders selling crude oil futures or other instruments. Should demand rise or production plateau, traders will bid increasingly on crude, whereby driving prices up.

The event and the medical camp are being organised by Olpad MLA Mukesh Patel, who is Minister of State for Agriculture, Energy and Petrochemicals in the Gujarat government.
"The day-long mega medical camp will be inaugurated virtually by PM Modi on Thursday morning. Nearly 66,000 residents of the Olpad constituency have registered themselves for the free medical camp," Patel told PTI.

- EUR/GBP comes under selling pressure deforming the bullish price pattern that had been forming.
- Hopes for a fiscal boost from the new UK PM, more aggressive BoE rate hikes lift the GBP.
- The euro draws support from a weaker USD and helps limit any further losses for the cross.
The EUR/GBP cross is extending its retracement slide from a two-month high touched last week and losing ground for the second successive day on Tuesday. The downward trajectory drags spot prices to a four-day low during the early European session and brings into the doubt the continuation of August's solid uptrend – though bulls are showing some resilience below the 0.8600 mark.
The news British Prime Minister Liz Truss is expected to finalize a two-year package of energy relief for households and businesses within days. This comes at a time when the country is facing a cost-of-living crisis and provides a much-needed respite to the British pound. This, along with hawkish remarks by the Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann, is seen as another factor behind sterling's relative outperformance and exerts downward pressure on the EUR/GBP cross.
That said, a bleak outlook for the UK economy holds back the GBP bulls from placing aggressive bets. It is worth recalling that the Bank of England had warned last month that the UK economy will enter a prolonged recession during Q4 2022. Adding to this, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) now expects the UK economy to record three consecutive quarters of contraction. This, along with a modest pickup in demand for the shared currency helps limit losses for the EUR/GBP cross.
The euro draws some support from the ongoing US dollar profit-taking slide from a two-decade high set on Monday. That said, worries about a potential economic recession in the Eurozone, fueled by Russia's indefinite closure of its main gas supply pipeline, could act as a headwind for the common currency. The mixed fundamental backdrop warrants some caution before placing aggressive directional bets around the EUR/GBP cross amid absent relevant market-moving economic releases on Tuesday.
From a technical perspective the pair has been consolidating in what resembles a bullish pennant pattern after a short sharp climb in late August. Whilst today's weakness has deformed the pennant and brought it into question its validity, it could still play out, pushing prices higher. If the pennant activates and the next leg materializes it will do so with a break above the 0.6876 highs on high volume, and then continue to at least 0.8718 followed by 0.8759 – the 61.8% Fibonacci extension of the upmove.
Alternatively, a break out of the bottom of the pennant could signal a devestating drop, with a move below 0.8570 (August 31 low) providing the first signs of a much deeper slide, and probably leading to a capitualtion down to 0.8500 and the 100-day SMA, which will break the fall.
More cautious investors might prefer to move to the sidelines ahead of the key event risk - the European Central Bank meeting on Thursday. The record-high inflation in the Eurozone has raised expectations for another bumper interest hike by the ECB. Nevertheless, the outcome and the near-term policy outlook will play a key role in influencing the euro and help determine the next leg of a directional move for the EUR/GBP cross.

A Georgia deputy police chief visiting Orlando for a workshop was arrested in Polk County on prostitution charges on Sept. 1.
At about 11 p.m., Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested Jason DiPrima of Kingston, Ga., for soliciting a prostitute.
DiPrima is employed as the deputy chief of police for the Cartersville Police Department. He was in Orlando attending an American Polygraph Association Seminar/Workshop, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.
On Aug. 31, DiPrima responded to an online escort advertisement and began a conversation with an undercover detective by asking, “Are you available tonight” and “I’d like to come see you – What is your rate?” according to the report.
During the online communication, DiPrima agreed to engage in sexual activities with the undercover detective, but then told the detective “I got spooked,” and asked to see her the next night.
The next day, DiPrima reinitiated the online communication with the undercover detective, and agreed to come to an undisclosed location to meet the detective. He initially agreed to pay the undercover detective $120 for a half hour of “full service” sex, the report stated.
When he arrived at the undisclosed location, he confirmed the arrangement by giving the undercover detective $180 and a multi-pack of White Claw Hard Seltzer.
DiPrima was arrested and transported to the Polk County Jail where he was released after paying a $500 bond. The Cartersville Georgia Police Department was notified of the arrest.
DiPrima’s arrest was a part of a week-long human trafficking undercover enforcement operation conducted by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies. The purpose of the operation was to identify those involved in human trafficking and arrest those who procure and engage in prostitution.

NEW YORK — Target is dropping the mandatory retirement age for its CEO, allowing its Chief Executive Brian Cornell to stay on for three more years.
Cornell, 63, would have passed the age of 65 in that span.
“In discussions about the company’s longer-term plans, it was important to us as a board to assure our stakeholders that Brian intends to stay in his role beyond the traditional retirement age of 65,” said Monica Lozano, the lead independent director of Target’s board in a release on Wednesday.
Sales at the discount retailer have grown steadily since Cornell took the top job in 2014.
The Minneapolis-based chain had been accelerating its online services such as curbside pickup and same-day services while sprucing up its stores well before the pandemic. During the height of the health crisis, Target became a lifeline to millions of people trying to limit their exposure during the pandemic.
The company has also been out front with its investment with workers. It raised its minimum wage to $15 per hour in 2020, a commitment it pledged in 2017 and well ahead of many grocery rivals. Earlier this year, Target adopted minimum wages that range from $15 to $24 an hour, with the highest pay going to hires in the most competitive markets.
But now the company, like other retailers, is trying to navigate tremendous shifts in consumer behavior with the worst of the pandemic in the rear view mirror while it wrestles with soaring prices and rising wages for workers. Target reported solid sales for the fiscal second quarter, but its profit plunged nearly 90% after it was forced to slash prices to clear unwanted inventories of clothing, home goods and electronics.
Before joining Target, Cornell spent more than 30 years in escalating leadership positions at retail and consumer-product companies. Roles included chief marketing officer at Safeway Inc. and CEO at Michaels, Walmart’s Sam’s Club and PepsiCo Americas Foods.
The company also announced Wednesday that Arthur Valdez, executive vice president and chief supply chain and logistics officer, will retire. Valdez will be succeeded by Gretchen McCarthy, senior vice president, global inventory management.
Shares of Target dropped 17 cents to $163.41 in morning trading.

A political committee supporting Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz is out with a new ad geared toward Black voters highlighting a 2013 incident in which Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman pulled a gun on a Black jogger he mistakenly thought committed a crime.
The 30-second ad, which was released by American Leadership Action, cites the incident that took place when Fetterman was mayor of Braddock, Pa. The spot includes clips of a local news interview with the jogger Fetterman confronted, as well as Fetterman himself.
“I believe I did the right thing but I may have broken the law during the course of it,” Fetterman says in a clip from a 2013 interview.
The ad wraps by calling Fetterman “reckless,” “risky” and “wrong for Pennsylvania.”
The $500,000 ad campaign, which was first reported by NBC News, is airing on networks with robust Black viewership including the Oprah Winfrey Network, Black Entertainment Television, ESPN, and NBC. Additionally, NBC reported that the group has also rolled out a 15-second digital ad that will reach Black voters online.
The Hill has reached out to Fetterman’s campaign for comment.
In 2013, Fetterman followed the man in his pickup truck and used a 20-gauge shotgun to hold him in place. The man, Christopher Miyares, was wearing running clothes and headphones and was not found to have a weapon on him when police arrived. Miyares has said that Fetterman pointed the gun at his chest, which Fetterman denies.
Fetterman addressed the incident early on in his Senate campaign, rolling out a video explaining his recollection of it in early 2021.
“There was an episode, over eight years ago, where I was outside with my young son who was four years old at the time, and I heard this crushing burst of gunfire coming from a corridor that was the scene of dozens of shootings,” Fetterman said.
Fetterman said in the video that he could “never forgive myself” if he hadn’t done anything.
“So I made that decision at that point to intervene to stop him from going any further until the first responders could arrive,” Fetterman said. “It’s not something that I would want anybody to live through, but the fact of the matter is there are a lot of communities in America, including Braddock, where it is not uncommon to hear gunshots randomly during the day or at night.”
The ad is the latest attack in the contentious Senate contest. On Wednesday, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) launched a mobile billboard around Pittsburgh reminding voters of the raucous GOP Senate primary in Pennsylvania as Oz and former candidate David McCormick reunite for an event.
Recent polling shows Fetterman leading Oz. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report recently moved the race’s rating from a “toss-up” to “lean Democratic.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Cineworld Group, the parent company of Regal Cinemas, confirmed Wednesday it's proceeding with financial reorganization plans.
The United Kingdom-based global theater chain said it's seeking what's called a Chapter 11 restructuring in federal court in Texas.
Cineworld has struggled with mounting debt made worse by the global pandemic.
Business is expected to carry on as usual, including Cineworld and Knoxville-based theater operations, the firm said Wednesday.
It has secured nearly $2 billion in "debtor-in-possession" commitments as it proceeds with reorganization.
The company noted it expected "to implement a de-leveraging transaction that will significantly reduce the Group’s debt, strengthen its balance sheet and provide the financial strength and flexibility to accelerate, and capitalise on, Cineworld’s strategy in the cinema industry."
It anticipates emerging from reorganization in the first quarter of 2023. Employees are expected to continue getting paid as usual, according to the company announcement.
"As previously announced, it is expected that any de-leveraging transaction will result in very significant dilution of existing equity interests in the Group and there is no guarantee of any recovery for holders of existing equity interests. The Company does not expect the Chapter 11 filing to result in a suspension of trading in its shares on the London Stock Exchange," the firm said.
Another sign of what's to come: Cineworld said it anticipates "a real estate optimisation strategy" in the U.S. and intends to engage in collaborative discussions with U.S. landlords to improve US cinema lease terms in an effort to further position the Group for long-term growth."
Cineworld operates more than 9,100 screens globally at 751 sites. Subsidiary Regal is one of the largest movie chain companies in the United States. Its headquarters sits along Fort Loudoun Lake just south of downtown.
Regal's local theaters include Regal Riviera downtown, the art house Downtown West center and the Pinnacle center in Turkey Creek.
"We continue to welcome our guests to cinemas around the world, which will not change during the Chapter 11 cases, and expect that all membership programs, including Regal Unlimited and Regal Crown Club in the United States and Cineworld Unlimited, should continue as usual," Cineworld said in a note to customers Wednesday.

School districts these days face a variety of major challenges, from pandemic-era learning loss to the threat of campus shootings. There’s another one always lurking — cyberattacks like the one experienced by L.A. Unified School District on its information technology systems over the weekend.
As L.A. teachers, parents, students and leaders felt the brunt of the attack on Monday, it begged the question: With so much of education these days relying on computer technology, how difficult would it be to properly conduct school in the case of such a crippling attack, especially if it was for an extended period?
Could a school and its staff make it through without the programs used to communicate with one another as well as with students and their parents? What about making lesson plans, collecting assignments and keeping track of grades, and so on?
Alhambra Unified School District’s Ashton Potter, director of technology, said cyberattacks are a huge concern.
“Alhambra Unified, along with every school district in the country, is constantly preparing for a cyberattack like the one LAUSD is suffering,” Potter said. “Cybersecurity is AUSD’s priority one safety concern alongside the physical safety of our students and staff.”
That said, Alhambra Unified is prepared in case of such an attack, officials said.
“AUSD could operate if we experienced a situation like LAUSD’s,” Potter said. “Most of the district’s communication tools are cloud-based apps. We back up our internal systems offline daily. We prioritize our time and resources on making sure our hardware and software systems are always up to date.”
The district’s stand-by servers would be employed, part of an array of tools that would enable administrators and the parents and students they serve to access student-information systems for grades and attendance.
But the nature of the attacks is becoming increasingly sinister, experts suggest.
“I think one thing that we have seen with ransomware actors, in particular — and this is a trend that has emerged over the last just couple of years — which is that ransomware attacks that sort of lock up school’s IT systems and infrastructure are almost never the whole story,” said Doug Levin, national director of K12 Security eXchange, or K12 SIX, a non-profit organization built to protect schools from cybersecurity threats.
The rest of the “story” is that the initial attack is accompanied by major data breaches, he said.
A ransomware actor could compromise a school district’s IT system for weeks — even months — before activating the malware, which is designed to threaten the publication of sensitive personal data unless the actor is paid a ransom, Levin said.
At stake is the release of sensitive data ranging from information on students, families and teachers to the business operations of school districts.
In the cases where school districts have not negotiated with the ransomware actors, that data has been dumped or sold off to criminal forums on the dark web. That has led directly to identity theft, not just of school employees and adults, but also of students as young as elementary-school aged.
School districts are taking precautions.
Manoj Roychowdhury, associate superintendent of Business Services at Hacienda La Puente Unified, said his district is very aware of the issue.
Roychowdhury pointed to “incremental steps” to harden the district’s infrastructure. Firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), ramped up data security and monitoring and a lot of employee training are all being employed to protect against hackers, Roychowdhury said.
Azusa Unified Superintendent Arturo Ortega said if his district experienced such an attack, it would affect the daily routine, but getting through it would be doable, he added.
“We have definitely become more reliant on educational technology in the last several years,” he said. “The loss of educational technology would cause some setbacks in daily operations, but we are fortunate to have both digital and hard copies of student curriculum and textbooks.”
He said attendance can be taken by hand and communication with parents could be done via letters sent home.
“Without access to classroom technology, daily instruction in some classes may look a little different from what students have grown accustomed to, but we would still be able to deliver an exceptional educational program,” Ortega said.
His technology manager, Manuel Sanchez, suggested that such instances are a sign of the times.
“As the number of online services needed to keep a school district operational in a digital world increases, the impact of an attack such as the one that has affected LAUSD makes it challenging for students and faculty to operate as they are accustomed to for an extended period of time,” he said.
“While IT departments work diligently to prevent such attacks, it is a reality that criminal organizations are looking to exploit systems.”
These attacks are expensive, Levin said.
“The cost of responding to the incident in the short term, can very well be dwarfed by the long-term cost,” he said.
He noted that Baltimore County Public Schools and Buffalo Public Schools within the past couple of years suffered cyberattacks.
“They reported that their sort of medium-term recovery costs were going to be roughly $10 million or more,” he said. “Baltimore County is a larger school district, but it’s not LAUSD-big. Buffalo is smaller than that. But it just goes to show that the longer-term costs for recovery are significant.
“And these are costs that are really incurred whether or a not a district pays the extortion demand. The fact that an outside unauthorized actor was able to not just break into the school’s IT systems, but to take them over, suggests that there may be quite a bit of work that is required to ensure something like that does not happen again.”
Levin said that this is indeed a brave new world for schools in this regard.
“For those schools that maybe were not relying on technology tremendously in years past, certainly in a post-COVID world with the rise of remote learning, schools are now relying on technology for not just teaching and learning in the classroom, but for all the back office operations.
In other words, for just about everything.
Levin said that because there is not a uniformed mandate on schools to provide a certain level of security services, school districts are in very different places with respect to cybersecurity programs.
He also said cybersecurity insurance is not easy to get because insurance companies require certain standards be met in order to qualify.
“For instance, you may not be able to get cybersecurity insurance unless you start putting in place some protections that we know work,” Levin said.
That’s not to mention that kind of insurance is very expensive.
“I do know districts that have forgone purchasing insurance because they could not qualify or afford it,” he said.
Ultimately, LAUSD appeared to have survived a major breach.
Classes resumed as scheduled Tuesday at the district — the second largest in the nation — following the weekend cyberattack on its information technology systems. The attack led to a federal investigation and instructions for teachers, staff and students to change their hundreds of thousands of district passwords.
The attackers used ransomware, LAUSD Superintendent Albert Carvalho said, but no confidential student information was breached, and there was no evidence that social security numbers or confidential health information was compromised.
He said the entity attacked the district’s facilities system, which contains information on payments made to contractors — much of which was already public information.
All told, Carvalho said “We are experiencing a fairly normal school day” in a morning news conference.
Still, by 9 a.m., the school’s attendance system was back online but schools were also taking attendance manually.
District officials said they immediately established a plan of action to provide protection in the future, “informed by top public and private sector technology and cyber security professionals.”
Levin said his advice to school districts is to take action before an incident occurs by putting in place better defenses, and good policy.
“This is definitely not something that you want to be figuring out after you’ve already realized that you’ve been compromised in an incident,” Levin said.

ATLANTA (AP) — Nick Carusillo died when he was hit by multiple vehicles on a Georgia interstate, just days after he was abruptly discharged from an addiction treatment center. Now his parents hope a substantial jury verdict in their favor will prompt change that helps others suffering from mental illness and substance abuse.
Carusillo died on Sept. 22, 2017, and his parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit in 2019 against the facility that released him and several people who were responsible for his care there. A jury just outside Atlanta awarded them a total of about $77 million last week — $10 million for their son's pain and suffering, $55 million for the value of his life, $1 million in punitive damages and the remainder for attorneys' fees and expenses.
“This verdict, for us, is validation,” Tina Carusillo told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday.
“It wasn't his fault. He was caught up in a bad system,” she said. “I'm hopeful that the size of this verdict makes a lot of people pay attention, from insurance companies to facilities to parents to loved ones to people seeking treatment.”
Lawyers for the facility that released Carusillo — Metro Atlanta Recovery Residences, or MARR — did not immediately respond Wednesday to an email seeking comment on the verdict and whether they plan to appeal.
Carusillo struggled with substance abuse from the time he was a teenager growing up in North Carolina. He began to show signs of bipolar disorder in his late teens, and his diagnosis was confirmed by the time he was 20, his father said. He was 29 years old and had been in and out of treatment facilities when he was admitted to MARR on Aug. 29, 2017.
He was managing his bipolar disorder with a combination of lithium and Seroquel and was medically stable when he arrived there, his family's lawyers said in a court filing. A week later, on Sept. 5, 2017, a doctor at MARR took him off lithium, despite having been warned by Carusillo's family and longtime therapist that he should remain on his medications, the filing says.
Carusillo's condition deteriorated and he was forced to leave the facility two weeks later, on Sept. 19, 2017, after staff said he had a cellphone, which wasn't allowed.
MARR released him to a sober living residence but failed to tell the owner about Carusillo's mental health issues, the filing says. Carusillo left the sober living house early the next morning in violation of curfew and was discharged that day. The owner of the sober living house dropped him off an an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
His whereabouts were unknown until he lay down naked on Interstate 85 outside of Atlanta and was hit by several vehicles early on Sept. 22, 2017, according to a statement from lawyers Natalie Woodward and Dax Lopez, who represent his family. He had no illegal drugs or alcohol in his system.
Lawyers for MARR wrote in a court filing that a doctor discontinued Carusillo's lithium treatment after he complained of side effects. Carusillo knowingly violated multiple rules at the facility and had been told that he would be discharged for any further violation, they wrote. The next morning, facility staff discovered he had a cellphone. During a phone conference with facility staff and his parents, Carusillo refused to go to a more intensive treatment facility and only agreed to go to a sober living house, the filing says.
Mike Carusillo said he hopes his son's death and the large jury verdict help prompt legislation to ensure proper staffing and guidelines at treatment facilities. The Carusillos have been open about discussing their son's struggles in hopes of publicizing available resources and reducing the stigma attached to mental illness, Tina Carusillo said.
She described her son — who had his own son who was 5 when his father died — as a beautiful, funny, bright, generous person. He was a talented athlete and had been the kicker on his high school football team.
“I have to say, he was probably the best hugger that I ever knew, and I really, really miss that,” Tina Carusillo said. “He was a generous, kind soul and we miss him.”

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Joe Flacco will huddle up for the New York Jets against his former team. And likely a few more opponents after that.
Coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday that Flacco will start at quarterback in the season opener Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in place of the injured Zach Wilson — who likely will be out until Week 4 at Pittsburgh.
Flacco starting this week is not unexpected, as it appeared to be trending that way for a few weeks. But the announcement that the game against the Steelers on Oct. 2 is likely “the earliest” Wilson will return from a knee injury was a surprise.
“Now, can it change? Sure, I'm always going to leave that door open,” Saleh said. "You guys know me, I'm the eternal optimist. But we are going to make sure both mind and body are 110% and make sure we do right by him.
“And we feel like, talking to the doctors and everyone, it's going to be that Pittsburgh week.”
Wilson worked out on the field Monday and Tuesday while testing out his right knee, which was injured in the preseason opener at Philadelphia on Aug. 12. Saleh said Monday “it's possible” Wilson could play against Baltimore, but that the quarterback would be evaluated in the next few days. Saleh said the second-year quarterback had no setbacks while working out, but the Jets don't want to rush him back to the field.
“He looks fantastic, he still looks good, he feels good,” Saleh said. “He's not walking with a limp or anything.”
Despite Wilson missing at least the first three games, the Jets did not consider putting him injured reserve — which would sideline him for a minimum of four games — so that he can continue to practice with the team. Wilson will work with the training staff this week, Saleh said, and then slowly start resuming practice during the next few weeks.
Saleh also left no doubt that the starting job remains Wilson's whenever he is fully ready to play.
“When Zach's healthy, he's rolling,” Saleh said.
Wilson suffered a bone bruise and torn meniscus, which was repaired via arthroscopic surgery in Los Angeles on Aug. 16. It's the same knee in which he sprained a ligament last year and sidelined him for four games. He was initially expected to miss two to four weeks with the current injury, a timetable that turned out to be a bit overambitious.
Taking the cautious approach in Week 1, New York will turn to Flacco — who will take on his former team. And with the confidence of the Jets.
“Heck yeah, man, Cool Joe,” Saleh said. “He's been preparing. He's freakin' awesome. I'm really excited for him for this opportunity.”
The 37-year-old quarterback spent his first 11 NFL seasons in Baltimore, helping lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory to cap the 2012 season. He was the MVP of that game and signed a six-year, $120.6 million contract a month later, becoming the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history at that time.
A hip injury midway through the 2018 season put Flacco on the sideline — and Lamar Jackson into the starting lineup. The following offseason, Flacco was traded to Denver, where he spent one season before signing with the Jets for his first stint in New York. Meanwhile, Jackson went on in 2019 to become the second player to win the AP NFL Most Valuable Player award unanimously.
This will mark Flacco’s first start against the Ravens, and he’ll take on the QB who replaced him.
“I’ve been in a bunch of games where guys have played their old teams and coaches have played their past teams and usually the emotions are definitely crazy,” Flacco said last month about the possibility of starting against Baltimore. “I’ve definitely thought about that a little bit like, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s not going to be a big deal,’ but I know deep down like, ‘Oh, OK, I’m going to try to make sure it’s not the biggest deal in the world.’
"But at the same time, I’ve been through it enough, I’ve seen guys go through it. It’s a different thing.”
Flacco is looking for his first win as a starter with the Jets, going 0-5 while filling in for Wilson in one game last season and four in place of Sam Darnold in 2020.
“Even at 37, I know that it's in the back of his head, he's getting a chance to play Baltimore and all these different things,” Saleh said. "Even at 37, he's got to keep the main thing the main thing and just do his best, and trust his best is good enough.
“I think we're all excited for Joe and his opportunity, and excited for Sunday.”

COLOGNE, Germany (AP) — Lithuania is going to the knockout stage of EuroBasket.
Marius Grigonis scored 16 points, Jonas Valanciunas finished with 13 points and 15 rebounds, and Lithuania topped Bosnia and Herzegovina 87-70 on Wednesday, a winner-take-all game in terms of which club would move onto the round of 16 at the European championships.
Arnas Butkevicius and Ignas Brazdeikis each scored 13 points, and Domantas Sabonis added 12 for Lithuania, which survived a second consecutive must-win game.
Dzanan Musa led all scorers with 22 points for Bosnia and Herzegovina (2-3), while Jusuf Nurkic added 15.
A 30-10 run spanning the second and third quarters was the key for Lithuania (2-3). The game was tied at 32 before the spurt gave Lithuania a 62-42 lead early in the third quarter.
Lithuania’s win settled one of the three knockout-phase spots that would be decided Wednesday. The others are later in the day, with Montenegro, Belgium, Bulgaria and Georgia vying for the two remaining spots left out of Group A.
There are four groups with six teams in each, and the top four clubs in each group — 16 teams in all — move on to Berlin for the knockout phase that starts Saturday.
GROUP A
SPAIN 72, TURKEY 69
At Tbilisi, Georgia, Lorenzo Brown’s jumper with 2:11 left put Spain (4-1) ahead to stay in its group-clinching win over Turkey (3-2).
Willy Hernangomez led Spain with 15 points, and Brown finished with 11. Spain will meet Lithuania in the round of 16 this weekend.
Cedi Osman scored 20 for Turkey, while Furkan Korkmaz finished with 16 Alperen Sengun added 14. Turkey will play in the knockout round as well.
THURSDAY’S SCHEDULE
First-round play ends in Groups C and D, as the 60-game group stage comes to an end.
Group C: Croatia (2-2) vs. Ukraine (3-1), Estonia (1-3) vs. Greece (4-0), Britain (0-4) vs. Italy (2-2). Croatia, Ukraine, Greece and Italy are all advancing to Berlin and the knockout stage. Greece could be one of two teams — Serbia is the other — to have a chance to get through group play unbeaten.
Group D: Israel (2-2) vs. Czech Republic (1-3), Serbia (4-0) vs. Poland (3-1), Finland (2-2) vs. Netherlands (0-4). The Israel-Czech Republic winner goes to Berlin, the Serbia-Poland winner will win the group (both have already clinched knockout round spots), and Finland is also locked into the knockout round.
There are no games Friday.

BOSTON, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.), the leader in personalized small group and solo-friendly travel for Americans ages 50+, reported a significant increase in travelers who are booking trips as solos for 2023.
According to O.A.T., the number of solo travelers reserving for 2023 is up 24% compared to 2019. In the past month alone, O.A.T. has seen a 27% jump in solo travelers making reservations compared to the previous month.
Fifty-three percent (53%) of all O.A.T. travelers are solo travelers. The majority of solo travelers with O.A.T. are women – eight in ten.
"Women traveling alone are embracing small group travel," said Brian FitzGerald, Chief Executive Officer of O.A.T. "Like other travelers, solos are eager to visit far-flung destinations, interact with local people, and immerse themselves in unique cultures."
Many travelers started traveling internationally again last year, but there is still plenty of pent-up
demand for 2023. Solos are part of that trend.
Popular for 2023
Egypt remains a particularly strong choice in 2023 for solo travelers. Ancient Egypt & the Nile River, a 16-day O.A.T. Small Group Adventure, tops the list of most popular adventures for solo travelers in 2023. Close to half of the travelers reserved for Ancient Egypt in 2023 are solos. Also popular with solos is Japan's Cultural Treasures. The country recently reopened to international travelers. Another in-demand adventure for solo travelers is Ultimate Africa: Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe Safari. Nearly 2,400 solo travelers joined O.A.T. on this adventure in the past three years—either independently or sharing a room with a mother, daughter, sister, or friend.
For 2023, O.A.T. has single spaces still available—all with free or low-cost single supplements, which translates into hundreds of dollars in savings.
A personal touch
For solo travelers, the Trip Experience Leaders at O.A.T. make a world of difference. Leading each small group, they are trained to integrate solo travelers from the start of their adventure. Trip Experience Leaders help solo travelers with issues such as someone to share meals with, especially during the all-important first few days of a trip. Shortly before a trip begins, Trip Experience Leaders personally contact every traveler to welcome them and answer any final questions before departure.
O.A.T. is the only travel company to offer the level of personalization and choice it does, letting travelers tailor their trips to meet their needs. For 2023, 87% of O.A.T. travelers are choosing to personalize their experiences in more than 80 countries. More than half of solo travelers are opting to arrive early before a trip or stay later once the tour concludes. By arriving early, a traveler can acclimate before a tour begins. By staying later after the group departs, a traveler can extend the experience and explore a destination independently.
O.A.T. provides travelers over 50 with impactful, intercultural experiences that help change people's lives. O.A.T. fosters an intimate and accessible experience, with groups limited to 16 travelers (average of 13) by land and 25 (average of 22) by sea.

Democratic Republic Of Congo
Scientists gathered this week in the Congo Basin, in northern DRC, to discuss ways to protect the rainforest as well as prepare for the 27th Climate Conference taking place in November in Egypt.
The head of the Center for International Forestry Research's operations in Congo reaffirmed the regions role in capturing and absorbing carbon.
"We are beginning to see evidence that the Amazon is becoming more of an emitter and so a lot o f the efforts of scientists and researchers are aimed at the Congo Basin and in particular the DRC, which has 160 million hectares of forest that is still in a state that is capable of absorbing and contributing to this fight against climate change", said CIFOR expert, Paolo Cerutti.
The main threats facing the rainforest in Congo are deforestation caused by slash and burn agriculture as well as people foraging for charcoal for cooking.
Sylvia Ferrari is a scientific expert from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). She explains the main challenges.
"The exploitation of wood energy to make firewood and agriculture, because of demographic pressure, are major factors that cause deforestation, so the Center for International Forestry Research project is working in this direction to limit its two major causes", concludes the scientist.
The director of the DRC's National Institute for Agricultural Research claims that aprt of the problem lies in accessing the so-called carbon finance.
"The local community needs to have alternative activities, activities that reduce the pressure on the forest. But the international community's mechanisms are still very theoretical, there are very long procedures to access "carbon finance", lamented the director of the Inera Institute, Dieu Merci Assumani.
The director also mentioned empty promises such as the deal to protect the Congo Basin rainforest, signed by President Felix Tshisekedi and then British prime minister Boris Johnson in last year and yet to be acted upon.
"Only the polluting countries are getting richer at the expense of the countries that are making efforts to stabilise the climate, to bring the climate back to 1.5°C", said Dieu Merci Assumani.
In 2016, researchers estimated in a study that around 30 billion tonnes of carbon are stored across the Congo Basin.

A British man has pleaded guilty to murdering an Okanagan teenager who moved to England last year to meet him.
Jack Sepple was 23 years old when he was arrested for the Feb. 1, 2022 stabbing death of 19-year-old Ashley Wadsworth of Vernon, B.C.
Sepple has appeared in Chelmsford Crown Court, in Essex, northeast of London, and entered a guilty plea.
A court clerk confirmed Sepple is expected to be sentenced on Oct. 10.
Wadsworth met Sepple online and her Facebook page showed she moved to England last November.
She posted photos of what she described as an “amazing trip to London” with Sepple just weeks before she was killed.
A statement from Essex Police said Sepple entered the guilty plea during a trial preparation hearing on Wednesday.
“The evidence against Sepple is so overwhelming that he was left with very few options other than to admit his guilt,” said the statement from Det. Supt. Scott Egerton.
“At the very least, today’s plea means Ashley’s family will be spared the heartache of having to sit through a trial,” said Egerton.
Sepple faces a life term when he is sentenced next month and Egerton said he hopes the “substantial amount of time” Sepple will spend in custody provides “some form of comfort” to Wadsworth’s family.
A motive for the murder was not provided.

These 7 analysts have an average price target of $41.29 versus the current price of Doximity at $32.68, implying upside.
Below is a summary of how these 7 analysts rated Doximity over the past 3 months. The greater the number of bullish ratings, the more positive analysts are on the stock and the greater the number of bearish ratings, the more negative analysts are on the stock
This current average represents a 11.68% decrease from the previous average price target of $46.75.
Analyst Ratings: What Are They?
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

HP's got an excellent deal on an Omen gaming desktop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card inside for only $1,376 (opens in new tab). This mid-range gaming rig is on sale for $373 off its retail price of $1,749, thanks to a promo code that pushes it from an 'ok deal' to a 'now we're talking' deal.
The HP Omen 25L is powered by an Intel Core i7 12700 CPU—a powerful 12th Gen chip—and an RTX 3070 GPU which is just a step down from the card topping our best GPU guide right now. You also have 16GB RAM, as well as a 512GB NVMe SSD, and a 1TB HDD for your storage. Not bad for less than $1,400.
The RTX 3070 is a rock-solid GPU that should easily handle your 1080p gaming needs at ultra graphics settings. Heck, you can even comfortably play some game your favorite games on it at 1440p as well. The Core i7 12700 processor is no slouch, either. So if you're looking for a decent work PC, this might be worthwhile.
Everything is housed in a nice snow white full-tower case with a glass side panel which I'm always a sucker for since my at-home gaming ecosystem is currently all white as if my desk were a weird gaming church. Thankfully, it's got a couple of USB type-C ports in the rear, though would it have killed HP to put one on the top next to USB type-A ports?
As much as I like this desktop, the 512GB SSD is a little bit of a letdown. Yeah, you've got a 1TB hard drive as well, but considering how fast and efficient PCIe SSD storage is compared to hard drives, it's wasted potential. You can't customize the order, so your only option is to upgrade to one of the best SSDs (opens in new tab) down the road.
HP is also throwing in an Omen Vector gaming mouse, Omen mouse pad, and Omen Blast headset ($100 total value) free of charge when you purchase the desktop. As of now, it looks like the estimated delivery window is about 7-10 days.

Sarkisian trek from Bama built pipeline to aid Texas rebuild
AUSTIN, Texas -- Steve Sarkisian left his job as an Alabama assistant to be the head coach at Texas in January 2021 and quickly blazed a 735-mile trail from Tuscaloosa to Austin for others to follow.
The core of his offensive coaching staff made the trek and a handful of players looking for fresh starts or more playing time have been trickling in ever since. Sarkisian has three top assistants who were on the Alabama sideline when the Crimson Tide won the 2020 national championship.
Is he building Alabama West? The early returns - a 5-7 season in 2021 - have so far been rather un-Bama like.
Sarkisian and the Longhorns (1-0) have a chance to make a statement Saturday. The No. 1 Crimson Tide (1-0) play on the road against their future SEC opponent, which is hoping the success Sarkisian experienced in Tuscaloosa can finally rub off in Austin.
Sarkisian often credits Alabama's Nick Saban as a major force in restoring his coaching career after he was fired at Southern California midway into the 2015 season and went into alcohol rehabilitation treatment.
Working under Saban first as an analyst in 2016 and then returning as Alabama offensive coordinator in 2019 and 2020 allowed Sarkisian an insider's view of what Saban demands from his staff, as well as what he could demand from himself.
Sarkisian has said quite frankly that Saban saved his career.
'I owe so much to him, and I will never, ever forget that he and Ms. Terry have been tremendous in my life and my wife's life and what they've done for us on and off the field, I owe them a great deal," Sarkisian said at Big 12 media days in July.
The praise continued this week as Sarkisian prepared to face his former mentor for the first time from the opposite sideline.
'We could be up here for hours talking about things that I learned from him ... and what he's done for guys like myself," Sarkisian said, also recalling the sting of Saban's rebukes when something went wrong.
'If he's yelling at you, you probably didn't reach a level of expectation. When you can meet his expectations, you are doing something right." Sarkisian said. "I loved my time with him.'
And when it was time to build his own staff, Sarkisian wanted assistants forged from the same fire that shaped him.
Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood, special teams and tight ends coach Jeff Banks and quarterbacks coach A.J. Milwee all followed Sarkisian from Alabama to join his rebuild.
This group of coaches left a program that won eight Southeastern Conference championships in the 13 years since Texas last won the Big 12. Alabama has won six national titles since 2009.
Their first season in Austin produced the program's first six-game losing streak in 65 years. 'Patience" was the word around campus.
Saban this week praised his former assistant and has called Sarkisian one of the finest coaches he's ever had on his staff.
'I think he's a very bright guy, very well organized," Saban said. 'He did an outstanding job when he was here.'
Saban shrugged off a suggestion that having so many former Alabama staffers at Texas would give the Longhorns an advantage in drawing up their game plan.
'We've seemed to play several teams now that kind of know us, but you act like we don't know them,' Saban said. 'So just because somebody knows you when they play you, doesn't mean they're going to beat you.'
Saban is 25-2 against former assistants. Both losses came last season, to Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M and Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs in the national championship game.
Texas has three former Alabama players on the roster this season. All were once highly-coveted recruits out of high school and Texas has proven an attractive landing spot, although none has made a major impact yet.
Tailback Keilan Robinson may be the fastest player on the team, but he's third on the depth chart behind preseason All-American Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson. His biggest contributions so far have come on special teams, with a blocked punt last season and blocked punt return for a touchdown last week against ULM.
Texas expected to have to impact players from Alabama this season: tight end Jahleel Billingsley and wide receiver Agiye Hall.
Billingsley caught 17 passes and three touchdowns last season, but he's serving a six-game NCAA suspension for an undisclosed violation that Sarkisian said occurred while at Alabama.
Hall was one of the top receiver recruits in the country but caught just four passes last season as a freshman and was suspended by Saban in April. After a quick transfer to Texas, he was expected to be a feature player in the Texas passing game, but he ran into more trouble when he was arrested for misdemeanor criminal mischief and was suspended for the first game.
Hall has been cleared to play this week. but it's unclear how much time he'll see against his former team.
'It's great to have him back and going with us and having him be part of our program," Sarkisian said. "Proud of the work that he did to get himself back.'

NEW YORK (AP) — Finding a new place can be challenging, and skyrocketing rents have made it especially hard this year. But there are things you can do to make the process easier.
Whether it’s your first or 10th time renting, here are five things to think about when looking for a new place to call home:
NEEDS VS WANTS
Before anything else, you need to decide what your priorities are and what you can afford, said Brian Carberry, senior managing editor of Rent.com, an apartment search website owned by Redfin.
If you’re not sure how to figure that out, Zumper’s Rent Affordability Calculator allows you to estimate how much you can pay per month according to your location, monthly income, and monthly expenses.
Then you can consider things like location and amenities.
Apartment search websites such as Apartments.com, Rent.com, Zillow, Apartment Guide, and Zumper can help curate your search. And if you need help affording somewhere to rent, check out the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau’s Rental Assistance Finder as well as this list of local public housing agencies.
Another option is to use a broker to help with your search. Some, known as no-fee brokers, charge the leasing management company rather than charging you.
The broker “was there to be a liaison and to say things like ‘Oh this isn’t right, maybe you guys should consider this,’” said Erika Tascon, who used a no-fee broker to find a one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles.
Ask friends for recommendations, and if you’ve never worked with a broker before, make sure to ask questions beforehand and look for reviews on websites such as Yelp. In large cities such as New York, websites like StreetEasy allow tenants to limit their search by “no-fee” apartments.
UNDERSTAND THE MARKET
As with any major life decision, it’s always good to do your research. Rents can vary greatly between cities or states and it’s best to understand the market to know what you can expect at different price ranges, Carberry said.
A great place to start is national rent reports from websites such as Apartment List and Redfin.
If you’re not in a rush, you might want to wait until after September.
“If you have the ability to look in the winter months, those are great times because not a lot of people are looking to move, you may be more likely to find some deals,” Carberry said.
Renters might also have more leverage to negotiate then, according to Apartment List. But with rental demand high, this year might not see as steep a winter slowdown as before the pandemic.
A downside of moving during the winter months might include having fewer options and, if you live in places where it snows, potentially bad weather for your move.
— Drive around neighborhoods
While a lot of landlords list their apartments or houses on online websites, including Facebook and Craigslist, some are more analog.
Tascon drove around different neighborhoods and found “for rent” signs outside of several units.
“That’s really helpful,” she said. “There were a lot of listings that I found that were not listed online, it was just like a sign outside.”
TAKE YOUR TIME (BUT NOT TOO MUCH)
It’s important to learn as much as you can and make an informed decision. But in a competitive market, you can’t always take as much time as you’d like to consider options. The key is to do as much research as possible ahead of time so you’re ready to apply when you see something you like. If you know that your lease will be ending, try starting your research a few months ahead of time. This can include looking for reviews of property management companies or the neighborhoods.
“You need to be prepared to spend a lot of time and energy on this,” said Tascon, who spent over a month looking for her current apartment.
—Get to know your landlord/leasing office
Britni Eseller, who recently found an apartment in San Diego, suggests asking prospective landlords for a license number, name of the property management company and details about the unit.
You can search reviews of prospective landlords or property management companies on websites such as Yelp, ApartmentRatings.com and RentMyLandlord.com. You can also try contacting them with questions.
VISIT IN PERSON
A crucial aspect of getting to know your potential home is to visit in person, Carberry said. You can check things like what’s around the neighborhood, what traffic is like on the main road and whether the appliances work.
“You can look and go through with a fine tooth comb of the unit itself,” Carberry said. “Look at things like the paint and the appliances, those are certain things that you might not see from a virtual tour because you can get in and look close.”
While in-person visits are always preferred, if you are moving to another state and you cannot afford to visit first, ask a friend or a co-worker to check out the place for you.
— Bring a friend
When it comes to visiting an apartment, the more eyes the better, Tascon said. If the landlord or agent is giving you details or you are asking questions, your friend or family member can help look around.
— Be ready to apply when you visit
Apartments in cities with competitive markets such as San Francisco, New York and Austin often have multiple applicants.
Esseler found an apartment in just two weeks. Because there were so many people touring the unit she wanted, she knew she had to move fast.
She had several documents already printed and ended up running to print more right after the tour so she could submit her application a few hours later.
“Timing is really a big thing. There were many people before and after me and having the documents already prepared, I was able to submit my application quickly,” said Eseller, who also wrote the date and time on the envelope when she dropped her application at the leasing office since the process was on a first-come-first-served basis.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Knowing your state’s tenant rights is crucial said Lucia Leal, a housing counselor at Causa Justa, a San Francisco-based tenant rights advocacy organization.
“Most tenants think that because a landlord owns the house, they can do whatever they want, and that’s not OK,” Leal said.
A good place to start reading about your rights is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Tenant Rights website.
Being informed about your rights and reading your lease carefully before signing it will help you avoid conflicts or confusion. If you have specific questions and need to talk to someone, community organizations around you might be available to help, said Nick Graetz, a postdoctoral research associate at The Eviction Lab.
“Local groups offer accessible guides and legal documentation for assistance,” he said.
Tenants can search housing counseling agencies around the country on HUD’s website.

NEW YORK (AP) — A skeleton from 31,000 years ago may be the earliest evidence found of amputation surgery in humans.
According to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, the remains show a child from Indonesia who had part of their left leg cut off on purpose.
The prehistoric patient recovered from the surgery and lived for at least six more years before dying from unknown causes.
The remaining leg bone shows a clean cut, which scientists say means the leg wasn't bitten off by an animal or crushed in an accident.
The study may show that early hunter-gatherers paid more attention to health care than previously thought.
The remains were discovered when researchers were exploring a cave in Borneo.
Researchers aren't sure what tool was used to amputate or how infection didn't occur, but they believe sharp stone tool and plants could've been used.
Before this one, the earliest prehistoric amputation was discovered in 2007 when researchers found a French farmer from 7,000 years ago who had his forearm partially removed.

The U.S. has reached an important milestone in the pandemic, according to federal health officials.
Going forward, COVID-19 could be treated more like the flu, with one annual shot offering year-long protection against severe illness for most people.
"Barring any new variant curve balls, for a large majority of Americans we are moving to a point where a single, annual COVID shot should provide a high degree of protection against serious illness all year," said White House COVID response coordinator Ashish Jha at a press briefing Tuesday.
The federal government has started rolling out a new round of boosters for the fall — they are updated versions of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines targeting both the original coronavirus and the two omicron subvariants that are currently causing most infections.
These vaccines could be tweaked again if new variants become dominant in the future, which is how the flu shot works. Every fall, people get a new flu vaccine designed to protect against whatever strains of the virus are likely to be circulating that season. The hope is the COVID boosters will act the same way.
Jha cautioned that older people and those with health problems that make them more vulnerable to severe disease may need to get boosted more often. But for most people Jha hopes this latest booster will be the last shot they need for at least another year.
Throughout the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has been incredibly unpredictable and has been evolving much faster than anyone expected, so officials say they will continue to monitor the virus closely and they are ready to reprogram the vaccines again if necessary.
"You've got to put the wild card of a way-out-of-left-field variant coming in," said White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, at the briefing. If that happens he says the recommendations may change. But, "if we continue to have an evolution sort of drifting along the BA.5 sublineage," he says the annual shot should be able to cover whatever is out there as the dominant variant.
But there is still a lot of debate about just how much of an upgrade the new boosters will really be. Some infectious disease experts are not convinced the updated vaccines will be a game-changer, because they haven't been tested enough to see how well they work.
"I think the risk here is that we are putting all our eggs in one basket," Dr. Celine Gounder, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told NPR. "We're only focusing on boosting with vaccines. I think the issue is people are looking for a silver bullet. And boosters are not a silver bullet to COVID."
Federal officials are concerned that a low number of people will sign up for the new boosters, following a low demand for the initial booster shots. According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention only 34% of people over 50 have gotten their second booster.
So, as we head into the winter, the administration is urging everyone age 12 and older to get boosted right away to help protect themselves and the more vulnerable people around them. People have to wait at least two months since their last shot and should wait at least three months since their last infection.
But they can sign up to get a COVID booster at the same time as a flu shot.
Because Congress has balked at providing addition funding to fight the pandemic, the new boosters are likely to be the last COVID shots provided for free. People who have insurance will get them covered through their policies. The administration says it's working to make sure those who are uninsured have access to future COVID-19 vaccinations.

Missoula mayoral interviews: Hess looks to continue city goals around housing, climate
Martin Kidston/Missoula Current
The Missoula City Council's longest serving member on Wednesday said he was capable and qualified to step into the role as the city's new mayor from Day One if appointed to the job.
Jordan Hess, who worked alongside the late Mayor John Engen on a number of city initiates, including its acquisition of Mountain Water, its new housing policy and its goals around climate change, said he would continue those goals and work to grow them.
You can read Hess' application by following this link.
“I've been training for this job, albeit unknowingly, for nine years,” Hess said. “I was at the table when we put an open space bond on the ballot and got it approved by the voters. I was at the table when we established the state's first housing office, the state's first housing policy and the state's first affordable housing trust fund. I have the ability to build coalitions, and I have the ability to bring along people with diverse views to get things done.”
Hess answered his questions in depth and with the knowledge of a candidate who has been at the table to help craft a number of current city strategies. Over the past few years, that work has included an “intentional” push on the housing front, equity, climate and transportation.
In the coming months, it will also include an effort to reform Missoula's zoning and development codes. Hess said doing so will provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to modernize planning and permitting.
As it stands, he said, the current codes are difficult to work through and cause developer's needless delays, which leads to additional expenses for the consumers.
“Our current zoning code was originally adopted in the 1930s and it has been modified and cobbled together over the decades,” Hess said. “This is an opportunity to start fresh, use modern zoning tools and achieve that balance. Our code is clunky and out of date, and because of those things, we have poor outcomes.”
Hess also said Missoula was facing an affordability issue on the housing front while property taxes are too high. While the city has taken steps to address its housing issues, it will need to partner with a Republican dominated Legislature to fix the state's tax issues.
Hess described the state's current tax structure as a “highly regressive system.”
“Our tax system in Montana is fundamentally broken and it needs to be addressed by our state Legislature,” he said. “We need to reverse the 1999 tax cuts on corporations and industry, and they furthered a decades-long trend of shifting property taxes from corporations and industry to residential property taxpayers. We are just now fully feeling the effects of those actions 25 years ago. We have to reverse those.”
Hess also believes the state underfunds infrastructure and has no mechanism to fund it at the local level. It's not a Missoula problem, he said, but a Montana problem that's impacting communities across the state.
Each candidate was posed 10 published questions during their allotted 50-minute interview, which was moderated by the Montana League of Women Voters. Hess took roughly 40 minutes to complete his responses and offer his closing statement.
“Missoula is a great place to live because people make it a great place to live,” Hess said. “While we've got work to do, we've laid such a foundation to be a better community than we've ever been. I firmly believe local government can be a transformative force for good to improve the lives of the people we serve.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Two sisters who survived the Holocaust as girls and moved to the United States afterward died just days apart in their adopted home of Alabama.
The Alabama Holocaust Education Center said Ruth Scheuer Siegler died Saturday at the age of 95. Her sister, Ilse Scheuer Nathan, died 10 days earlier at the age of 98.
The women were born in Germany and were girls when Adolf Hitler rose to power in the 1930s. After losing their parents and older brother in the Holocaust but surviving Nazi death camps themselves, the two women were inseparable, the center said in an announcement.
“They were always together,” Ann Mollengarden, education director for the Alabama Holocaust Education Center, told Al.com. “When Ilse died, I think Ruth was ready.”
In early 1944, the girls were selected as workers at the Birkenau camp and separated from their mother, who they never saw again, according to a biography of the women. They last saw their father at the camp, and their brother died at a camp in Germany.
“The girls worked carrying bricks from one end of the compound to the other for hours at a time. Ilse sewed gun covers and uniforms as well. Working close to the crematory ovens, they saw the mountains of shoes. For the first time, they realized that their fellow prisoners were being killed and cremated,” the biography said.
Each woman married fellow Holocaust survivors in 1949. Ruth and Walter Siegler moved to Birmingham in 1960 to be with Ilse and Walter Nathan, who already lived in the area.
The women, who taught lessons about the Holocaust, were both widows and remained best friends until the end, living within walking distance of each other for years.
In a 2011 interview with The Birmingham News, Ruth Siegler discussed the reasons for writing a memoir, “My Father’s Blessing,” which included papers and photographs that documented her journey surviving the Holocaust.
‘’I have all these memories,’’ she said. ‘’I remember everything.’’
During the interview, her sister Ilse came to visit. The sisters helped each other survive, and faith helped them through, they agreed.
‘’I always say have faith and hope,’’ Ilse Nathan said. ‘’We leaned on each other and prayed together.’’

Unveiled ahead of Groceryshop '22, consumer study underscores the importance of brand and retailer focus on the omnichannel shopper experience
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Acosta, a global integrated sales and marketing services leader, today previewed results of its Online Grocery Landscape Report, a new shopper insights study on the attitudes and preferences surrounding online grocery shopping habits. Conducted this summer through Acosta's proprietary Shopper Community, the research found that nearly 60% of those buying online groceries started in the past two years, and nearly one in five online grocery shoppers intend to do more of their shopping online in the next year.
The new study shows that consumer grocery shopping behavior continues to evolve alongside the ongoing acceleration of digital commerce and innovation in traditional retail. Acosta will share its findings at Groceryshop on Sept. 19-22 in Las Vegas.
"More than half of American households are buying groceries online at least occasionally, compelling the need for retailers to provide more personalized and enhanced experiences around value, convenience, and food discovery in order to increase their share of omnichannel shoppers," said John Carroll, Chief Growth Officer at Acosta. "Since most online grocery consumers shop the same retailers online and in-store, the brands and retailers that offer strong online and in-store shopping solutions are best positioned to win by nurturing even deeper consumer loyalty. And as wallets tighten due to inflation and shoppers do more pre-shop planning online, an omnichannel focus becomes even more critical."
Insights from Acosta's proprietary Shopper Community illustrate the new normal in the online grocery space along with evolving expectations and opportunities in the omnichannel marketplace.
- Consistent with levels observed in fall 2021, half of U.S. shoppers are at least occasionally purchasing grocery items online.
- More than half (57%) of online grocery shoppers say they stick with the retailers they shop in-store, thus providing omnichannel-focused retailers with a big advantage in building loyalty with consumers.
- A significant majority of online pickup shoppers (7 in 10) go into the store when picking up an order, mainly to grab a forgotten item or to pick out something personally. This shopping behavior presents an opportunity to re-engage the shopper in store.
- Top online grocery retailers are getting high marks for shopper satisfaction, but shoppers still desire better ease of finding deals, product availability, and reasonable delivery/pickup fees.
- Consumers are still experimenting and determining their preferred delivery fulfillment options, with only 57% using a single mode. Millennials are utilizing at-home delivery at nearly twice the rate of Baby Boomers.
- Nearly one-third of online grocery shoppers use subscriptions, with pet needs and coffee/tea at the top of the list.
- While 46% of shoppers utilize retailer websites to place orders, there is slow adoption to retailer apps with more than a quarter of respondents declaring that they currently do not use retailer apps.
- Digital coupons are embraced by 80% of online shoppers, with younger shoppers more likely to look for them while they shop.
- The balance between online and brick and mortar continues to evolve, with more online grocery shoppers preferring the in-store experience for discount opportunities and new product discovery.
Acosta conducted the research in June of 2022 through its proprietary Shopper Community with input from more than 750 U.S. online grocery shoppers across a range of age groups, behaviors, and preferences. A summary of the report's key findings is available on Acosta's website. An infographic detailing the report findings can be accessed here.
Groceryshop 2022 in Las Vegas is focused on the rise of eCommerce and the changing consumer behavior reshaping the industry. With a firm grasp on the consumer mindset from a CPG and retailer perspective, Acosta is a leading provider of market insight on omnichannel and digital commerce solutions.

Acosta's digital commerce solutions include e-commerce insights and analytics, e-account management and retailer.com strategy, demand generation and retail media, full-service Amazon growth, digital shelf monitoring and optimization, and content syndication and management services.

Just weeks after releasing their pumpkin spice collection, Krispy Kreme is at it again, this time with three new cinnamon-sugary treats.
Krispy Kreme’s new ChurrDough Collection is a first-of-its-kind creation inspired by churros, but with the light airiness of a Krispy Kreme doughnut. The three doughnuts are tossed in cinnamon sugar and have a variety of unique toppings. The doughnuts are larger than most of the brand’s treats and each appears to be the size of three round doughnuts.
The Cinnamon Sugar Churrdoughâ is topped with swirls of cinnamon Kreme and salted caramel crunch pieces. The Cookies & Kreme Churrdough is decorated with swirls of chocolate cookie Kreme, topped with chocolate cookie pieces and drizzled with chocolate icing. The Dulce De Leche Churrdough is the most decadent, topped with swirls of cream cheese icing, cookie pieces and dulce de leche drizzle.
The doughnuts are available now individually or in a three-pack if you want to try all the flavors. They will only be around until Sept. 18, so you’ll want to grab them soon.
As mentioned, Krispy Kreme’s pumpkin spice doughnut collection is also available in shops for a limited time.
The pumpkin spice collection includes returning favorites like the Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut, Pumpkin Spice Original Filled Cheesecake Doughnut and Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut, plus a new Pumpkin Spice Latte Swirl Doughnut. The new Pumpkin Spice Latte Swirl Doughnut is a pumpkin spice doughnut dipped in a pumpkin spice/sugar blend, then topped with a swirl of vanilla and coffee buttercream.
To wash down all that pumpkin goodness, you’ll also find Krispy Kreme’s Pumpkin Spice Latte and a new Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee, which is iced coffee blended with pumpkin pie sauce.
Will you be making a trip to your local Krispy Kreme to pick up some of these limited edition doughnuts?

- Juve beaten 2-1 at the Parc des Princes
- Video surfaced of fans making monkey gestures
- UEFA aware of incident
WHAT HAPPENED? Juventus started their Champions League campaign with a defeat to PSG after a brace from Kylian Mbappe. The behaviour of the travelling fans dominated some of the post-match headlines as some of them appeared to be making monkey gestures towards the home fans.
WHAT THEY SAID: In a statement after the game, UEFA wrote: "In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, a UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding allegations of discriminatory behaviour by Juventus supporters at the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage match between Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus played on 6 September in France."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Juventus become the latest in a long list of European clubs to be investigated by UEFA over alleged racism. The UEFA statement concluded by claiming that "information on this matter will be made available in due course".
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? UEFA will look into the incident and determine whether the club are in breach of the disciplinary regulations. If Juventus are found guilty of discriminatory behaviour, they are likely to be hit with a fine and may even be forced to play future matches with a limited amount of supporters.

(Pocket-lint) - Apple has announced its annual iPhone refresh and has gone big this time around.
As well as the iPhone 14, there's an iPhone 14 Plus with a 6.7-inch screen. This size was previously reserved for the Pro models.
-
Both devices get an OLED display, A15 Bionic processing, better cameras and longer battery life.
There's a 12-megapixel main camera on the rear, for example, with a larger sensor. This promises 49 per cent improvement in low light. An ultrawide camera can also be found on the back.
The fron TrueDepth camera has also been improved, with autofocus for the first time and a 12-megapixel sensor. Apple claims that it will take better selfies.
The hardware is combined with new software too - the Phototonic Engine, a "processing pipeline" that enhances low light photography on front and back cameras.
The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus support Dolby Vision and there's an action mode for smoother video.
Aside from the new camera benefits, the US iPhone 14 models will be switching to eSIM only. This means you can switch providers more easily and no longer need a physical SIM card. We're waiting to find out if other regions will follow.
Another connectivity feature that's new to this year's models is the ability to hook up to a satellite rather than cellular in order to send emergency SOS messages. That and crash detection (as on the new Apple Watch Series 8) will help you if you find yourself in distress.
Emergency SOS via satellite will be limited to US and Canada initially.
Apple iPhone 14 will start at $799, with the iPhone 14 Plus starting at $899. They'll both be available to pre-order from 9 September, with the smaller model hitting stores from 14 September.
The iPhone 14 Plus will ship from 7 October.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police were serving search warrants Wednesday in connection with the fatal stabbing of a Las Vegas newspaper reporter last weekend.
In a statement, Metro Police didn’t specify where they were searching in connection with the slaying Saturday of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German.
But the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that uniformed officers and police vehicles were seen outside the home of Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles and a section around Telles’ house was taped off.
The newspaper said German spent months reporting on the turmoil surrounding Telles’ oversight of the office.
Telles, a 45-year-old Democrat, lost his reelection bid in June’s primary election after German’s findings were published, according to the Review-Journal.
A message left by The Associated Press at Telles’ office Wednesday morning wasn’t immediately returned.
German, 69, was found stabbed to death outside his home after authorities received a 911 call.
German died of “multiple sharp force injuries” in a homicide, according to the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner.
Police said German apparently was in an altercation with another person that led to the stabbing Friday and it was an isolated incident.
Police have released surveillance images of the possible suspect although the photos don’t show the person’s full face. The still images show a person wearing a wide straw hat, bright orange reflective long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, gray shoes and carrying a black or dark blue shoulder bag.
On Tuesday, police showed a brief video of the possible suspect walking on a sidewalk in the same “construction attire” as the surveillance images and a still photo of a 2007-2014 red or maroon GMC Yukon Denali four-door vehicle that had chrome handles, a sunroof and a luggage rack that may be linked to the case.
German joined the Review-Journal in 2010 after more than two decades at the Las Vegas Sun, where he was a columnist and reporter who covered courts, politics, labor, government and organized crime.
He was known for his stories about government malfeasance and political scandals and coverage of the 2017 mass shooting at a Las Vegas music festival that killed 60 people and wounded more than 400 others.

Households are to receive a new electricity credit to help with rising energy bills before Christmas, it has been confirmed by Environment Minister Eamon Ryan.
Minister Ryan made the remarks as Cabinet signs off on plans following a meeting on Wednesday morning to limit energy use in the public sector with temperatures to be set at 19C as appropriate to each public building’s use.
The public sector is expected to lead by example on energy efficiency in the coming months, Minister Ryan said.
It is understood that public buildings will have maximum temperatures of 19C and lighting at night is expected to be curtailed.
Other proposals are also expected to include reduced heating of low-occupancy spaces, optimising timers and thermostats, and reducing use in peak times.
A campaign is also expected to be launched which will encourage householders and businesses to avoid, where possible, the use of electricity during peak hours of 5 to 7pm.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Prime Time on Tuesday night, the minister said such measures are “not only a good way of actually keeping our [energy] security, it’s also a good way of saving money”.
However, he warned if the public, the Government and business do not cut back on their energy consumption between now and the end of the year, energy supply will be “very tight”, Minister Ryan said.
“We could all play our part, making sure that we don’t use energy between 5 and 7 o’clock in the evening,” he said.
“That’s the time when actually the last generator goes on. So if we can use some of our devices, in large industry or at home, those washing machines, dishwashers which can be done on a time basis, that actually is one of the best ways of getting through the winter,” Minister Ryan.

Investors in Coinbase Global Inc (Symbol: COIN) saw new options begin trading this week, for the October 14th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the COIN options chain for the new October 14th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $62.00 strike price has a current bid of $7.70. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $62.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $54.30 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of COIN, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $63.30/share today.
Because the $62.00 strike represents an approximate 2% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 59%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 12.42% return on the cash commitment, or 122.52% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Coinbase Global Inc, and highlighting in green where the $62.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $64.00 strike price has a current bid of $7.50. If an investor was to purchase shares of COIN stock at the current price level of $63.30/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $64.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 12.95% if the stock gets called away at the October 14th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if COIN shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Coinbase Global Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing COIN's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $64.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $64.00 strike represents an approximate 1% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 45%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 11.85% boost of extra return to the investor, or 116.88% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 111%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 109%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $63.30) to be 100%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.
