Students to earn two degrees in Australia and India with MoU between University of Sydney and JGU
Sonipat: New agreements between the University of Sydney and O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) will give business students the opportunity to divide their studies between Australia and India.
Students studying for a Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons), a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) or a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Finance and Entrepreneurship at JGU in Sonipat will spend two years at the Indian institution before travelling to Australia for another two years to complete the University of Sydney Business School’s undergraduate commerce degree. Students will be awarded a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Sydney on successful completion and may also apply to be awarded their degree from JGU.
On completion of two years of study at the University of Sydney, participating students may be eligible to take advantage of the Australian Government’s Post-Study Work stream visa to remain in Australia and undertake paid employment for a further two years.
The agreements were signed on Wednesday (September 7) at JGU in Sonipat, northern India, by the University of Sydney’s Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Mark Scott, Vice-President (External Engagement) Kirsten Andrews, JGU’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor C. Raj Kumar, and Registrar, Professor Dabiru Sridhar Patnaik.
Professor Scott is in India to further strengthen the University’s engagement with the nation and to participate in the Australia India Leadership Dialogue. He said the partnership with JGU reflected the vital importance of Australia’s relationship with India and the University of Sydney’s commitment to providing opportunities for India’s talented students.
“As the world begins to open up once again, it is more important than ever to offer students immersive international experiences,” he said.
“We’re thrilled to be working with O.P. Jindal Global University to give students the chance to earn two degrees in just four years and experience university life in Sydney. We know these students will enrich our community enormously.”
The Founding Vice-Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University Professor C. Raj Kumar said: “The agreement with the University of Sydney is part of a larger effort to expand and deepen ties between India and Australia.
“It is the endeavour of JGU to ensure the best global opportunities for our students. The agreement with the University of Sydney will enable our students to gain from this unique experience, which will allow them to pursue two degree programs and benefit from the university experience in India and Australia, enriching their career prospects internationally.”
The University of Sydney Business School’s Bachelor of Commerce offers hands-on learning experiences, work placement opportunities and a strong commercial grounding in business, with majors available across subjects including Innovation and Entrepreneurship, International Business, Management and Leadership, and more.
The Business School’s Deputy Dean (Students and External Partnerships), Professor Suresh Cuganesan, said the partnership would equip students with the knowledge, skills and global outlook necessary to thrive in the workforce of the future.
“The University of Sydney is ranked first in Australia and fourth in the world for graduate employability,” he said. “This agreement will help graduates launch careers and succeed on a global scale, and reflects the deepening ties between our two great countries.”

A police spokesman said: ‘This man moved towards her again before he was held back by the second man, preventing a further assault.
‘The victim suffered swelling to her head as well as cuts and grazes to her leg and elbows as a result of this incident.’
It happened at about 8.45pm on Friday.
The man who carried out the assault was in his mid to late-20s, white, 6ft, muscular, clean-shaven with blond hair which was short on the back and sides.
He wore a black T-shirt with something white across the shoulder and black jeans.
The man he was with, who held him back, was smaller and thinner, wearing dark clothing similar to the first man, with brown hair and glasses.
Police say they want to speak to anyone who saw what happened, or saw these men in the area, or know who they are – and they also want the men to come forward to give their side of the story.
The victim has described seeing two potential witnesses in the area wearing a nurse or carer type uniform, but police say they have no further description than this.
The spokesman added: ‘If this is you and you have any information about this incident, please get in touch.’
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting 44220358554.

A futuristic dystopia or neon-lit utopia? However you view the cyberpunk genre, there are plenty of awesome cyberpunk games to explore this year. Combining the best in high-tech with criminally cool characters, cyberpunk games offer a sci-fi-infused sense of escapism for those who love to imagine the future. Bring on the brightly-lit collapse of society as we know it with this list of the 10 best cyberpunk games you should be playing this year. While these games will run brilliantly on PC, they’re also available on other platforms, which are listed here for you to choose from.
#10 The Ascent
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC
A shooter RPG game that’s packed full of action, The Ascent takes place in a cyberpunk world that seems to really push the limits of vertical level design. The game’s metropolis is owned and run by The Ascent Group, until the corporation’s sudden collapse, that is. Players will need to survive the ensuing chaos in a world packed with creatures and criminals. This is another one of a number of cyberpunk games that makes use of the low-to-high social stratification concept, meaning players have a vast and towering set of neon-hued locations to explore and loot on their quest to discover why The Ascent Group vanished.
#9 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC
In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, technological advancements will take us to the year 2029. In this version of the future, mechanically augmented humans will absolutely exist and will be deemed to be social pariahs, forced to live as exiles from society. Players will take on the role of Adam Jensen, an augmented human and covert operative who must navigate this hostile world in order to unravel a mysterious conspiracy. It’s fair to say that imagining the state of the world a mere seven years from now possibly doesn’t include cybernetically enhanced human beings, but you never know. Either way, this is a great game that incorporates enjoyable stealth action gameplay with cool cyberpunk vibes.
#8 Observer
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC
Observer combines cyberpunk with horror to deliver a gruesome hybrid that brings fear to life in a truly futuristic manner. Set in 2084, the action in Observer takes place in a dystopian world where war, plague and poverty have run rife across humanity. Players will find themselves in the role of an elite neural police detective, capable of hacking into the minds of the criminals and lunatics they need to hunt down. Needless to say, this all makes for some pretty disturbing and terrifying experiences. If you tend to envisage the future as being darkly technological where your own thoughts can be used against you, then Observer is the game for you.
#7 Cloudpunk
Platforms: Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC
In Cloudpunk, players will take on the role of a delivery driver for an illicit company operating in Nivalis, a vast cyberpunk city. This is a game that puts a focus on exploration and NPC interaction and is definitely more of a storyline over action type of experience. With that said, the storyline is fairly intriguing, although it’s arguably more enjoyable to simply explore the verticality of the city in your ‘HOVA’ or flying car. With society segregated into a system of height-based classes, the further up you fly, the more elite your customer or contacts become. This kind of extreme social classification provides an interesting look at a potential future for humanity and gives Cloudpunk a thought-provoking world setting aside from the fascinating cyberpunk aesthetics of the city.
#6 Shadowrun Returns
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC
A tactical RPG that features turn-based gameplay, Shadowrun Returns makes use of a cyberpunk setting where machines and magic have collided. The action takes place in the year 2054 and technological advancements and corporate greed have ploughed on, turning the world into a strange and sprawling mega-metropolis. Fantasy also features heavily in Shadowrun Returns though, as the world has also seen a resurgence of magical and mythical creatures such as dwarves, orcs and elves. Players will get to experience the twists and turns of life in this world as they hunt for a mysterious killer. This is an adventure with gorgeous art and a unique take on the cyberpunk genre, which makes it a game well worth playing this year.
#5 Superhot
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC
Superhot is a unique style of FPS game where time in the game setting only moves when the player does, or when a weapon is used. It’s a game that makes use of minimalism at its core, putting players in control of the ability to manipulate time and weaponry to defeat their enemies. The ability to use such skills gives an inherent cyberpunk feel to this game, the later stages of which allow players to switch into an enemy player’s body to avoid death if needs be. This is a cryptically clever game that challenges players to look at the narrative around playing video games, and ask themselves who is really controlling who in the gameplay scenario.
#4 Ghostrunner
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC
Ghostrunner sees players stepping into the role of Jack, a technologically enhanced superhuman blade fighter. This game takes platforming action to a new level as it’s in first-person mode. Players will need to use their lightning-fast reflexes to scale the gargantuan Dharma Tower which now houses the remainder of the human race after a massive global catastrophe wiped most of it out. This is a cyberpunk game packed with high-stakes combat and top-speed traversal in a post-apocalyptic world setting that’s all about the dark side of a high-tech dystopia. It’s definitely one to try out if you like your action to be brutally up close and your platforming to be imbued with a hefty dose of science fiction.
#3 Cyberpunk 2077
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Stadia, PC
Cyberpunk 2077 is designed as the epitome of the cyberpunk genre. Its main setting of Night City is a sprawling, neon-hued mega-metropolis that symbolises a dark future for humanity, no matter how luminous it may appear at first glance. Despite a notably rocky launch, Cyberpunk 2077‘s immersive worldbuilding, dystopian view of humanity’s future and engaging overall storyline make it a worthwhile entry on this list. Visually this is a pretty stunning cyberpunk game, with satisfying combat, consequence-laden choices and open-world exploration at its core. This is one of the more recent cyberpunk games and is probably best enjoyed on the current-gen of consoles and on PC. That way, you’ll get the most out of its gorgeous, glowing graphics and fast-paced action.
#2 Stray
Platforms: PS5, PS4, PC
A game that’s currently taking the scene by storm, Stray allows players to become the titular stray cat, deeply lost in a cyberpunk world and trying to find their way out. The feline action takes place in a strange new walled city that’s packed with high-tech futuristic elements like machines, robots and weird, sentient bacteria. The playable cat’s main companion is a little drone, who provides assistance with aspects of world traversal and general operations as the cat need, such as translation, hacking into different tech and providing combat abilities if necessary. The game’s cyberpunk setting gives the cat’s need to escape a sense of greater urgency, as this foreboding city is definitely not always a welcoming environment for a lost kitty, even if it is beautifully lit.
#1 Detroit: Become Human
Platforms: PS4, PC
Detroit: Become Human focuses on three sentient androids and their adventure across Detroit in the year 2038. Players will experience the city through the eyes of Connor, Kara and Markus, and make choices that combine to form a truly gripping narrative experience. While the gorgeously detailed and visually stunning backdrop of Detroit in the not-too-distant future will satisfy a cyberpunk fan easily, the central storyline packs plenty of emotional punches. Considering the world through the lenses of androids that become human is a fundamental cyberpunk concept. This is one of the most fantastic cyberpunk games to sink into if you’re keen to examine moral and ethical questions about the future of humanity.

A new research claims that more than 50 percent of smartphone users in the United States have iOS.
Counterpoint Research claims that the number of iPhone users are growing, and recently cemented this by publishing a new report that says active iPhone users account for more than half compared to Android models in the US.
Analysts also say that this is the highest ever share between the iPhone and Android since the iPhone launched in 2007. Jeff Fieldhack, Counterpoint research director, says that over the last 4 years the flow was going from Android to iOS.
Counterpoint further claims that the remaining Android users are spread out over dozens of devices from several manufacturers. A similar report made by StockApps holds the same regard, with global marketshare gains for Apple and losses for Android.
With Counterpoint’s history it’s said that the data is not as precise, since Apple does not report per-year iPhone sales.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The capital city announced a new initiative Wednesday that would reinstate resident’s licenses that were suspended due to unpaid fines, fees and missed court dates.
The city is partnering with OpenDoors to offer the new “Driver’s License Restoration Program,” which will provide driver’s license reinstatement services for up to 600 Providence residents over a two-year period.
“Being able to drive is critical to so many people in our city, whether it’s getting a job, taking kids to childcare, or just accessing food and other essential items,” Mayor Jorge Elorza said. “We can, and should, help our residents get back on their feet, especially when the city has played a role in imposing fines and fees inequitably.”
The program, according to the city, will provide case management, legal support and financial aid to residents whose driver’s license was suspended as a result of a missed traffic court hearing, unpaid fines from municipal or state court and other monetary-related suspensions.
“We are going to help hundreds of Providence residents that are stuck with suspended licenses and mountains of debt start driving again, start working again, and get home safe,” OpenDoors Community Organizer Brandon Robinson said. “Four years ago, OpenDoors helped me get put on a payment plan and reinstate my license and it changed my life.’
“I’m excited we will be able to help so many others have the same opportunity,” he continued.
To be eligible, applicants must be Providence residents and have incomes at or below 65% of the area median income. Applicants must also have the proper identification documents, such as an ID, Social Security card or birth certificate.
Applicants won’t be considered for this program if their license was suspended for a moving violation that resulted in a felony conviction.
The applications will be evaluated for financial need and ability to pay related expenses, such as car insurance.
“Driver’s license restoration is critical in removing barriers,” Providence Councilwoman Rachel Miller said. “License restoration fees are one of the hidden costs of being poor in our city — I have seen many men and women shut out of life-changing economic opportunities because of large accrued license restoration fines and fees.”
The program is being funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.

Palmeiras was eliminated by Athletico-PR from the Libertadores semifinal in the middle of Allianz Parque and said goodbye to the dream of a third consecutive championship. After the match, however, coach Abel Ferreira complained a lot about the referee’s performance. Verdão questions the non-expulsion of a player from the Hurricane in the first half and a possible penalty not scored in the final stage.
The most demanded bid by the Palmeiras was the non-expulsion of Alex Santana for the alleged elbow on Rony in the first half. “I would like the referee to go inside (the locker room) to talk to my players, that’s all. If VAR saw what I saw, it’s the first time in history I’ve seen a yellow card for an aggression. But I won’t dwell on that. I’ve never seen yellow for aggression. Our expulsion I think is fair. The criteria… Feeling is revolt. It’s what we feel. That’s it”, shot Abel Ferreira in a post-game press conference.
An ESPN camera, however, caught the play involving Rony and Alex Santana in the Palmeiras area before the corner kick from another angle. Due to the inverted image, it is not possible to elbow the Palmeiras striker.
ESPN refereeing commentator Leonardo Gaciba assessed referee Esteban Ostojich’s decision to only apply the yellow card as correct.
“Looking at the broadcast image, from the front, you get the impression that Alex Teixeira elbowed him. The referee ended up issuing a yellow card. But the inverted image with a magnifying glass shows that there was no elbow from Alex Santana. In fact, he raises his arm, which passes in front of Ron’s face. For me, the correct attitude of the referee. It was just a yellow card,” he explained.
Abel Ferreira sees Palmeiras harmed:
Palmeiras needed a two-goal victory to advance, and they even got the result during the second half. However, with one player less, Verdão could not hold the advantage and conceded the tie by 2 to 2.
In the press conference after the elimination, coach Abel Ferreira harshly criticized the performance of the refereeing team during the game. The Palmeiras coach stated that there was direct interference in the result of the confrontation.
“What I can say is that my players need to be at peace. About suspicions, it’s you (reporter), not me. I have no idea if there are intentions, but you saw it as I saw it. Two teams hit each other very well. Congratulations to Athletico, but there was a team that was not at the level of the two teams, and had a direct influence on the result”, he evaluated.
“I believe they are mistakes, we are all human and we certainly make mistakes. They cost a lot. Has direct interference in club organizations. The way it was, it’s tough. Atuesta’s last foul, which the assistant said was offside. On the last move he (referee) didn’t even see the corner. There are days like that, and today the referee had a bad day. I can’t believe in anything else”, added Abel Ferreira.
Referee Esteban Ostojich only yellowed Alex Santana’s elbow on Rony before the corner kick. VAR with Nicolás Gallo does not call for analysis of the bid. #trOurLecture pic.twitter.com/cbnbyXP9XS

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Georgia deputy police chief landed behind bars after authorities said he was busted in a prostitution sting in Polk County, Florida, last Thursday.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said 49-year-old Jason DiPrima of Kingston, Georgia, was arrested Thursday for soliciting a prostitute, a first-degree misdemeanor, and booked into the Polk County Jail, where he was released after paying a $500 bond.
Deputies said DiPrima was in Orlando attending a polygraph training workshop when he answered an online advertisement from an undercover detective who he believed was a prostitute.
“Are you available tonight?” he asked the detective in a text message, according to deputies. “I’d like to come see you — what is your rate?”
Authorities said DiPrima agreed to meet and have sex with the undercover detective, but told her he “got spooked” and asked to meet her the next evening.
The next day, he agreed to meet the detective and pay her $120 for a half-hour of sexual activity, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies said DiPrima showed up at their meeting spot in an undercover police cruiser normally assigned to agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Deputies said DiPrima gave the undercover detective $180 and a multi-pack of White Claw Hard Seltzer. He was promptly arrested.
“What are you thinking?” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said during a Tuesday afternoon press conference. “You just want to go, ‘C’mon man, have you lost the last three brain cells, or do you just have cabbage for brains?’”
The sheriff’s office said DiPrima is employed as the Deputy Chief of Police Administration for Cartersville Police Department where he has served for nearly 30 years He was also a graduate of the FBI academy. The department was notified of the matter. It’s unclear if he was disciplined.
“If all else fails, he can write a book: How to ruin your career in three easy steps,” Judd added.
The arrest was part of a week-long investigation focusing on human trafficking in the Polk County area. Sheriff Grady Judd is expected to share more details about it at a 3 p.m. press conference Tuesday.

Two Door Cinema Club have cancelled their tour as Kevin Baird battles an “incurable autoimmune disease”.
Two Door Cinema Club won’t be performing their upcoming European headline tour due to the health of their bassist, who had been receiving treatment for the illness.
In a lengthy statement shared on social media, he said: “Earlier this year I was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease and have been receiving treatment for this by the incredible NHS.
“I’ve loved every second of playing shows again this summer, especially after such a long time away but the harsh reality is that it’s been really hard on my body.
“I’ve been experiencing a lot of ups and downs in managing this bullshit of a disease and after a lot of long chats with my doctor we’ve
decided that the next step is surgery to remove the affected organ after which it should be much more manageable.
“I’m scheduled to have the operation in a few weeks so I’m really sorry to have to tell you we’re going to have to cancel our EU tour in September/October.”
The musician added that his current medical advice is to “wait and see how recovery goes” after the operation before making a decision on shows later in 2022.
He continued: “We will of course keep you guys updated as to whether the North American tour will proceed, as soon as we know, you’ll know.
“I know this is far from ideal and we’re so sad we won’t be able to make these EU shows happen, we’ve been so looking forward to seeing you after so long!”
Kevin also thanked the NHS and his bandmates Alex Timble and Sam Halliday, as well as the fans for their support.
He said: “I want to say thank you to the amazing NHS for taking such good care of me, thank you to Sam and Alex for their support an understanding but mainly thanks to all of you for being the best fans in the world.”

Judge strikes down 1931 Michigan law criminalizing abortion
DETROIT (AP) — A judge on Wednesday struck down Michigan’s 1931 anti-abortion law, months after suspending it, the latest development over abortion rights in a state where the issue is being argued in courtrooms and, possibly, at the ballot box.
The law, which was long dormant before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, violates the Michigan Constitution, said Judge Elizabeth Gleicher.
“A law denying safe, routine medical care not only denies women of their ability to control their bodies and their lives — it denies them of their dignity,” Gleicher of the Court of Claims wrote. “Michigan’s Constitution forbids this violation of due process.”
The decision comes as the Michigan Supreme Court still is considering whether to place a proposed amendment on the Nov. 8 ballot that would add abortion rights to the state constitution. A Friday deadline is looming.
Supporters submitted more than 700,000 signatures, easily clearing the threshold. But a tie vote by the Board of State Canvassers over spacing issues on the petition has kept it off the ballot so far.
In the case handled by Gleicher, the 1931 law makes it a crime to perform abortions unless the life of the mother is in danger.
The judge found the law “compels motherhood” and prevents a woman from determining the “shape of her present and future life.”
The law “forces a pregnant woman to forgo her reproductive choices and to instead serve as ‘an involuntary vessel entitled to no more respect than other forms of collectively owned property,’” Gleicher wrote, quoting constitutional scholar Lawrence Tribe.
She suspended the law in May with an injunction. Her latest decision applies to all state and local prosecutors in Michigan.
The lawsuit was filed by Planned Parenthood. Gleicher declined to pass the case to another judge, despite acknowledging that she has been a regular donor to the organization.

Fans have the opportunity to help KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz come up with a name to use as a duo.
KXNG Crooked says that he and Joell Ortiz are fielding ideas from fans as for the name to use when releasing music as a duo. The former Slaughterhouse rapper explained that, despite having three projects together, they've yet to come up with an official name for themselves.
“Yo, man. I’m just sittin’ here thinking," Crooked said from his BMW in a video posted on Twitter. "We’re working on our third official project, me and Joell, right? We had H.A.R.D., Housing Authority Rap District, Rise and Fall of Slaughterhouse and now, Harbor City: Season One. We done did three official projects, and we don’t have an official name for the duo yet."
He added: "I really want y’all to give me some ideas that I can take back to Joell."

“Give me some ideas for the group, the name for this duo," he continued. "You know, I’m from Long Beach. He from Brooklyn. Ain’t too many groups composed of an East Coast and a West Coast cat. I don’t know, give me some creative suggestions please ’cause we ain’t got a name!”
Crooked later revealed some of the favorites he's received since posting the video, telling HipHopDX that the top choices so far are, “Crook & Joell, Brother’s Keeper, Halfway House, LBC2BK, H.A.R.D., Roommates (lol), The Duplex (lol), Coast Guards, Hardy Boyz, and Tha Indispensable.”
The currently unnamed duo's newest effort, Harbor City: Season One, is scheduled for release on September 16.

Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the establishment of the first-ever Tribal Homeland Security Advisory Council and the opening of the nomination period for membership. This Council will enable Tribal leaders to advise the Secretary on homeland security policies and practices that affect Indian Country and indigenous communities, including emergency management, law enforcement, cybersecurity, domestic terrorism and targeted violence, and border security.
“The inaugural Tribal Homeland Security Advisory Council is a result of sustained engagement to improve nation-to-nation relationships and comes at a time of critical importance,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “I look forward to building a new Council that will provide timely advice and recommendations directly from Indian Country regarding how we can better work together to improve homeland security.”
The Council will engage with DHS agencies and offices and produce recommendations and reports for the Secretary. The Council will be charged with collaborating on all matters of homeland security as they relate to Tribal Nations and indigenous communities, including but not limited to:
- Implementation of Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments and the President’s January 26, 2021 Memorandum on Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to-Nation Relationships;
- Implementation of Executive Order 14053, Improving Public Safety and Criminal Justice for Native Americans and Addressing the Crisis of Missing or Murdered Indigenous People;
- Implementation of Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government;

- Implementation and execution of the DHS’s Tribal Consultation Policy; and
- The responsibility to uphold the Federal Government’s and the Department’s trust and treaty responsibility to Tribal Nations.
The Council’s membership will be diverse in its leadership, professional backgrounds, technical expertise, and geographic makeup. Since every tribe is a unique sovereign nation, DHS strives to establish a Council that is reflective of the wide expanse of Indian country.
With today’s announcement, DHS will begin accepting nominations for a period of 30 days. Individuals will be considered for membership based on their qualifications to serve as representatives of a Tribal Nation or tribal organization.
Interested individuals may submit their nomination packages via first class mail (Attn: Colleen Silva, Office of Partnership and Engagement, MS 0385, Department of Homeland Security, 2707 Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE, Washington, DC 20528-0835) or e-mail submissions to TribalHSAC@hq.dhs.gov until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on October 10, 2022.

Middle School Sends All Students Home After 8th-Grader Is Found Dead on Campus
A North Carolina middle school was dismissed early on Tuesday after an eighth-grade boy died on campus.
Wendell Middle School, in Wake County outside Raleigh, sent out a statement to parents announcing a 10:45 a.m. dismissal due to a “medical crisis.”
“This is an urgent message,” the statement said.
“Students are safe. We will be dismissing at 10:45 a.m. today, Sept. 6, due to a medical crisis on campus.”
Later in the afternoon, an update from the principal, Catherine Trudell, clarified that a boy had died on campus, but no cause for the death was given, the Herald Sun of Durham reported.
“It is an unexpected loss, and we are saddened by it,” Trudell wrote, WRAL-TV reported.
“As a parent or guardian, you have the opportunity to decide if this is information you want to share,” Trudell wrote, according to WECT.
However, multiple social media posts and a Facebook post from a Raleigh church whose pastors went to the campus reported the student seemed to have died from an apparent suicide, the Herald Sun reported.
Due to federal privacy laws, however, Wake County school officials said that they would not be providing more details about the crisis without the consent of the deceased’s family.
Meanwhile, Trudell told school families that support resources, including the nonprofit group Transitions GriefCare, would be available on Wednesday for students.
“Transitions GriefCare offers a range of support services to help students explore, understand and express their grief. Their services are available to anyone in our community at no cost,” Trudell said, WECT reported.
The death at the school also took place the same day that the Wake County school board had a presentation on suicide awareness, part of the broader look at the district’s mental health improvement plan, the Herald Sun reported.
“Some of our schools are getting some unique challenges this week,” Wake County board chairwoman Lindsay Mahaffey said at the start of Tuesday’s regular meeting, according to the Herald Sun.
“Although intentionally vague, I do want to lift them up and know that we’re thinking of them and holding them in our hearts,” she added.
Monika Johnson-Hostler, another board member, said she felt a pit in her stomach about what happened at the school, the Herald Sun reported.
Meanwhile, many throughout the community shared their support and prayers on social media for all those affected by this death.
“My heart breaks for the Wendell Middle School community. Please join me in lifting the family, students, and staff in your thoughts and prayers,” Tyler Swanson, a candidate for the Wake County Board of Education, wrote in a Twitter post.

Adds details
Sept 7 (Reuters) - Brighton & Hove Albion's Premier League home game against Crystal Palace on Sept. 17 has been postponed due to planned industrial action on the rail network, the league said on Wednesday.
Britain's rail network has been hit by major disruptions in the last few weeks as staff protest over pay and conditions, part of growing industrial unrest around the country as wages fail to keep pace with soaring inflation.
"Following a request to the Premier League Board by Brighton and Hove Albion FC, the club's home fixture against Crystal Palace FC, due to be played at 3pm on Saturday 17 September, has been regrettably postponed," the league said in a statement.
"The decision follows exceptional circumstances relating to the planned industrial action on the rail network, with authorities unable to sanction the fixture to be played with no public transport available for supporters."
Brighton said a new date for the game would be announced soon.
"While we fully appreciate this will be of huge disappointment to both sets of fans... the safety of fans of both clubs, our matchday staff, players and officials must be the priority," the club said in a statement.
Graham Potter's Brighton side, fourth in the table with 13 points from six games, travel to Bournemouth on Saturday and 15th-placed Palace host Manchester United on Sunday.

For most companies, product and feature launches are always top of mind because of the potential to attract and retain more users.
Product launch strategies aim for user adoption and brand growth. They are linear and focus on sharing a new product or feature with the entire user base via email campaigns, regular notifications, posts on platforms like Product Hunt, and general press.
While this approach gets the product or feature in front of a large audience — and results in a short-term spike in growth — there's a lot of needless friction along the way. So much so that developing a sustainable growth strategy isn't likely to happen.
Brian Balfour, Founder and CEO of Reforge, spoke at Recur conference and explained why this approach doesn't work (and what you should do instead).
What is a product launch strategy?
A product launch strategy is a planned effort to launch a new product in a market. The goal of most businesses is to launch something and get as much growth and traction as quickly as possible. Many steps, actions, and people are involved in a project launch process. Because of this, having a launch strategy helps you stay focused on the end goal.
The standard product launch strategy is holding you back
Brian shared a quote from the founders of TBH, a social quiz app for teens that was acquired by Facebook, that briefly explains how they were able to launch their product.
“It's critical to design a process that allows you to launch vastly different product experiences within specific communities so your product can reach critical mass.”
Taking a one-size-fits-all approach can only hold it back. Instead, companies should make sure that the product launch is tailored to the product one is launching and to the intended audience, similarly to what TBH did.
4 common reasons product launches fail
Often, companies skirt around this concept and, as Brian points out, their new product launch strategy fails for one of four reasons. Let's discover how these hold you back from long-term growth.
1. Word-of-mouth is not enough
At the heart of almost every successful growth strategy is word of mouth (WOM). Brian explained that a good way to evaluate your growth is to take away all other forms of your marketing strategy — this means emails, paid ads, anything that promotes your product — and see whether your company continues to grow.
If churn outpaces growth, then WOM isn’t strong enough to support your business on its own. With WOM, growth might be slow over time, but this sets the stage for accelerated growth later on because it builds such a strong foundation.
The problem, as Brian pointed out, is that “brands see WOM as something that just happens, not scientific, and not something that can be controlled.”
Think of WOM as a loop that looks something like this:
New users sign up to use a product, they use the product and realize that it exceeds their expectations in comparison to other alternatives, and in turn tell other people about it. Those people decide to try the product as well, and the loop repeats itself.
What brands don't realize is that Step 2 of the loop, Greatly Exceeds Expectations, can indeed be controlled. Brian explained that, at this point, you control “the audience coming in and what the audience experience is.”
All too often, product launch strategies show the same promotional material to the entire audience and expect users to want to share it. But because new products and features are launched as early versions not meant for everyone, users whose expectations have not yet been greatly exceeded give negative feedback and kill the WOM cycle.
The people you want to focus on are those you’ll meet at Step 2 — it’s the segment of users who are most likely to have already had their expectations met and will be most likely to tell everyone about a new product or feature.
2. Validating product and feature hypothesis slows down
An important part of your launch plan is validating the product and feature quickly. This is done by using the following:
Qualitative signals
Like Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) can be corrupted when you get negative feedback from users who are not meant to test the first version of your product or feature. Avoid “noisy” qualitative feedback, which hides the real feedback you need and slows down your validation process, by segmenting your audience.
Feedback from the entire user base (in gray) drowns out the feedback from your target segment (in blue).
Quantitative signals
Like retention curves show how well you're able to retain users over time and deliver on the promised value. Without segmenting your audience, this, too, can result in a slow validation process.
Launching to everyone results in lower retention rates over time.
Brian explains “It's easy to think that we can work backwards to try to find that diamond in the rough. In reality and in practice, this is 10X more difficult than we actually think it is... It's highly unlikely that you'll find that diamond in the rough in hindsight if you fill your system with needless data.”
The result is that it takes much longer to deliver on a product that meets the needs of the right segment of your audience.
3. Too much communication
Users have only so much attention to give your product. It's in your best interest to be protective of their experiences and avoid bombarding them with irrelevant messages that test their patience.
Reforge uses the “Psych” Framework, developed by Darius Contractor, to determine user intention and motivation. “Psych,” Brian explained, is defined as “a unit of measurement of user motivation or attention.”
Brian used the analogy of a fuel tank that can be filled with all the items users want. He explained that these are things that add value, meet user needs, and result in a positive experience. But fuel can also be removed from the tank — for example, irrelevant messages consume fuel.
The problem, as Brian pointed out, is that “it's much harder to fill the fuel tank than it is to drain it in today's environment, where all of our customers are getting overwhelmed with messages.” The reasoning is that irrelevant messages require more of a user's attention than positive, targeted messages, which require less attention.
Standard, linear product launch strategies target all users, an approach that depletes the fuel tank and threatens successful future launches.
4. Only envisioning the short-term
The goal for launches is to create a long-term, sustainable growth strategy. Reforge thinks about their sustainable growth strategy as a qualitative growth model grounded in strong communication. This includes various components, like publishing and endorsements, categorized by acquisition loops that feed the system and by habit loops that manage retention.
Are you setting yourself up for success? Brian suggested asking yourself two questions:
- How does one cohort of users lead to another cohort of users? This requires you to look at the series of actions that leads to getting more users in the future.
- How does one user interaction lead to more interactions? This requires you to look at how your system retains users.
The problem is that a lot of time and energy goes into thinking about launches and little time goes into making sure the strategy behind them leads to medium- and long-term growth.
Brian advised switching that thinking so that “the launch is used in service of the model. It's there to jump-start that engine and the sustainable system.” He continued, “The launch isn't meant to be the be-all and end-all because it only provides a short-term spike that goes away very quickly.”
So how do you improve product launches? Stop launching to the masses and start small.
How to launch a product in 5 steps
Instead of the standard product launch strategy, use a more detailed, five-part loop based on TBH's approach to growth: Launch a vastly different product experience to specific communities in order to reach critical mass.
When these elements are combined, you’ll find the right users to target and improve long-term retention. Here's what the product launch process (or “loop”) looks like:
- Define your scope
- Access who needs the product
- Filter your list for the best users
- Use a success signal
- Leverage your signals for the next user group
We define these launch strategy steps in more detail below.
1. Scope the launch
Start by defining your target audience. Brian explained that instead of blasting your entire audience with your product or feature, you should use product development to build products and features for specific audiences.
This requires narrowing down your target audience within your user base as much as possible.
Once you've scoped out your audience, define it so that you're targeting the people most likely to have already had an experience with your products that exceeded their expectations.
2. Access your target audience
Next, get in front of these people. Use tactics like Hacker News, email, paid ads, press releases, a changelog to announce product changes, referrals, Medium blog posts, and Product Hunt to promote your product or feature to your audience.
3. Filter to your best users
Once you have your audience's attention, find the users most likely to appreciate and understand the beta version of your product or feature. Who are your early adopters?
Brian explained that sharing your launch with your target group is a little like casting a net. You're going to find some people who fit the scope you've defined, and others who aren't an exact fit. Filtering helps you get to the right audience.
To find your audience, gather information from the following sources:
Clearbit
This gives you access to “passive data,” so when users sign up, you can use their email addresses to learn more about your audience. For example, their company, its size, their role, and the location.
Internal data
This includes information you gather from sales and support conversations if you're launching a feature within an existing product.
User-submitted information
This offers good friction and helps you find your target audience. For example, use surveys, wait-lists, and special-access lists that incentivize the right people to join.
4. Identify a success signal
Brian pointed out that narrowing down your target audience makes it easier to get to success signals than if you target everyone at once.
The result is more accurate, less noisy qualitative and quantitative signals that give a stronger indication of whether you've achieved product/market fit.
If you're launching a feature inside a larger product, go one step further to find feature/product fit. Casey Winters, former growth lead at Pinterest and Grubhub, explains feature/product fit this way:
"Feature/product fit requires the feature to improve retention, engagement, and/or monetization for the core product... If it doesn't, this means it is cannibalizing another part of the product."
Without feature/product fit, you end up with lots of new features but no lift to retained users.
A better scenario is to introduce features that support the product and have a positive effect on the retention curve. Feature/product shifts the curve up to show that the adoption of new features results in higher customer engagement and retention.
5. Leverage for your next launch
The final step of the loop, once the success signals have been identified, is to figure out how to leverage these signals and launch to the next group of defined target users.
It takes time to release a product or feature, so the goal should be to introduce it to a new layer of users as you go until it's eventually exposed to your entire user base.
Brian encourages to “Expose your product or feature to more users progressively over time as more value is added to the product... For example, tightly control the WOM loop and validation until the point where you hit a tipping point and can launch to everyone without worrying about killing WOM loop and slowing down validation process with too much friction.”
Keep repeating this five-step loop until you get the new product or feature out to all users.
Companies prove this system works
An example of a company making this five-step approach work is Superhuman, a fast, new email service provider.
It was launched over two years ago but isn't publicly available yet. To get access, interested users have to join a waitlist first and then go through an extensive validation process to determine whether they're an ideal user.
Based on Brian's experience, his validation process looked like this:
After joining the waitlist, there was an initial survey to gauge basic demographics. Then there was a more detailed 20-question survey about email usage. This was followed by a manual follow-up email meant to clarify one of the answers from the survey. The final step was a manual onboarding process that leads had to sign up for.
For most people, this process would be a turnoff. But the results show that this company has more WOM promotion than most new companies. They're using the five-step process, which allows them to identify their ideal target users with the waitlist, filter users down with survey questions, measure success signals by verifying product/market fit, and leveraging this through the tech press and social media shoutouts they receive.
The main takeaway here is to realize you can't launch to everyone and then narrow down your target list based on who uses the product most. You can't start big and then work backward based on what sticks.
While this approach might have worked for a product like Flickr, it's rare and doesn't work for the majority of brands. This approach fails because of one of the four reasons typical launches don't work. A better approach is to stick to a proven, structured, scientific process that has proven to get results.
Getting started
The five-step, repeatable launch process works and is a quicker path to validating questions and assumptions. There is more work required up front in your pre-launch phase, but this pays off in the end with a higher retention curve.
Take a look at your product launch strategy as it stands today, and find gaps and opportunities to filter your target user audience and find your success signals.
Developing your customized, repeatable launch process takes trial and error because tactics that work for one company may not necessarily work for you. You can nail your next product launch with the right market research and pre-launch planning. Find your mix of tactics, product tools, and processes that will get you to attract more of the right users and retain them for longer.
Product launch strategy FAQs
Here are the answers to the most popular product launch strategy questions.
How do you create a product launch strategy?
A product launch strategy has many steps and moving parts. It usually takes multiple teams and people to both create and implement it. Some of the most common steps include: Understanding the problem the product is trying to solve, deciding what channels to promote the product, creating launch assets, and doing a post-launch retrospective.
What are the six steps of a product launch plan?
The six steps of a product launch are: testing the product before the launch, training the team, preparing for the launch, launching the product, establishing launch metrics, and the post-launch retrospective.
What are the three types of product launches?
In software development, most product launches fall under one or more of the three types. They are:
- Products that create new value
- Maintenance or support of an existing product
- Investing in internal products and other capabilities

It was a priority for the Armuchee Lady Indians to display improved focus on Tuesday night, and that's exactly what they did in a pair of convincing, two-set victories on their home court over Haralson County and Cedartown.
Armuchee head coach Clint Decker said despite going 2-1 in a quad match at Model last Thursday his team wasn't quite as sharp as they have been previously this season and he wanted to see them improve in that area on Tuesday.
"Tonight was definitely different from last week," said Decker. "I felt like we weren't as focused last week (at Model), and it showed in how we played. So that was a point of emphasis the last several days at practice. I wanted our girls to know that you have to be focused every match, every set, every point because if you aren't, you have the chance to get beaten. I was proud of how they responded tonight. We were focused from the start and were intentional with what we did in both matches tonight."
Armuchee (19-3) opened the tri-match with a quick dispatching of Haralson County as the host team took the first set 25-10 and completed the victory with a 25-14 advantage in the second set.
After Cedartown knocked off Haralson County in two sets (26-24, 25-15) in the second match of the proceedings, it was the Lady Indians' turn once again to show their dominance. They set the tone with a 25-11 first-set win over the visiting Lady Bulldogs and then closed out the night with a 25-12 second-set victory to claim the match.
Individually for Armuchee, Mallory Hulsey compiled 25 kills in the two victories, and Bailey Tomlin was solid all around as well with 10 kills and 10 digs. Aubrie Cordle had a good night at the net with nine kills.
Rounding out the stats for the Lady Indians were Jaslyn Edwards with 10 digs, Kyleigh Powell with six aces and Cailyn Poole with 38 assists.
"We don't want to sound over-confident, but every match we feel like it is about us and what we do," said Decker. "It doesn't matter who we play, if we play the way we are supposed to play and be intentional, I think we're going to be a pretty tough out for anybody."
Another advantage of having a big lead like Decker's team experienced multiple times on Tuesday is getting the chance for other players to find their way onto the court for valuable experience in case they are needed due to injuries or other circumstances later on in the season.
"Having people ready to step in when someone goes down is very important," said Decker. "We've got good volleyball players that haven't gotten to play much just because of how talented our other girls are on the court who start. So getting those girls varsity experience like they got tonight I think will pay dividends for us down the road."
Following the pair of wins, Armuchee will turn its attention to Region 7-A Division I play which they will open on Thursday by traveling to Dade County for a tri-match against the host Lady Wolverines and Pepperell starting at 6 p.m.
"Our girls' homework is to get familiar with Dade County and watch some film on them before we go up there," said Decker. "We've seen Pepperell already this year, and they are a tough team too. Dade County is going to be scrappy so we've got to focus on the little things."

Ireland’s VAT rate for news publishers is 9%. The UK is Zero.
Protect the future of independent journalism in Ireland by supporting NewsBrands Ireland and Local Ireland's campaign to remove VAT for print and online newspapers in the next Budget.
The Government is being urged to take action to protect the future of independent journalism in Ireland by reducing the VAT rate for newspapers and news websites to 0%.
The growing power of the big tech platforms is disrupting journalism worldwide. New digital advertising models have put enormous pressure on local and national media, including the Dundalk Democrat and Louth Live.
The growth of disinformation online means trusted, professional sources of news are more vital than ever and key to democracy itself.
The new EU VAT Directive means the Irish government now has the power to remove VAT on print and online newspapers.
Introducing a 0% VAT rate in Budget 2023 will provide crucial support to journalism and news publishers.
Other European countries support journalism with Zero or lower rate VAT. Ireland’s VAT rate for news publishers is 9%. The UK is Zero.
Doing nothing is not an option. The Irish government needs to act now.
Local newspapers are vital to their communities and provide factual sources to inform views and policy decisions.
Quality, professional journalism is essential for a healthy democracy and supports the wider news eco-system for broadcasters and digital publishers.
Without newspapers and their digital content, many important stories would not be told.
Irish people love news. 82% of the population read a print or digital news title every week, according to Kantar TGI 2022.
CHANGE NEEDED NOW
Journalism faces challenges from the cost of living crisis, the growing commercial power of tech platforms, the legacy of the pandemic which hit advertising and circulation and the soaring costs of newsprint, which has increased 140% over the last 18 months.
Zero VAT would allow Irish news publishers to help secure their future by investing in the business of journalism, giving greater value to readers and preserving jobs.
News publishers need to invest in digital transition. Ending VAT would help support their transformation to competitive online models.
A detailed submission was made to the Department of Finance before the summer recess.
The measure to help national and local newspapers would realise €18.5 million for our sector.

- First A23 derby of the season will be moved
- Rail strike is the reason for postponement
- Other PL games could suffer same fate
WHAT HAPPENED? The recent UK rail strikes have caused a host of problems across industries around London. Football has become the latest victim and a Premier League fixture in a week and a half's time has been struck down due to the subsequent travel issues.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: This fixture is one that supporters of both clubs look for as soon as the fixture lists are released. Despite almost 50 miles separating the two stadiums, it is considered one of the current derbies in the Premier League.
AND WHAT'S MORE: A new date will have to be found for the match. On the same day, Leicester are facing Tottenham in north London and that fixture may also have to be rearranged.
WHAT THEY SAID: "Both clubs wanted the match to take place on the original date and there has been a continued dialogue in order to achieve this with all relevant authorities, including Sussex and Surrey Police, other local emergency services and agencies, Brighton & Hove City Council, the Premier League and Crystal Palace.
"Following these discussions, and having carefully evaluated all the factors, the unanimous recommendation of the Safety Advisory Group was to postpone the fixture with the full support of the Premier League."
STORY IN ONE PHOTO:
WHAT NEXT FOR THE TWO TEAMS: With an already-packed football calendar, it will be almost impossible to reschedule the match before the start of the World Cup. That may mean the two teams will have to face off twice after the turn of the new year.

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.

This is Why The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc (PNC) is a Great Dividend Stock
Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. But when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and of course, dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc in Focus
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc (PNC) is headquartered in Pittsburgh, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of -22.02% since the start of the year. Currently paying a dividend of $1.5 per share, the company has a dividend yield of 3.84%. In comparison, the Banks - Major Regional industry's yield is 3.52%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.69%.
Taking a look at the company's dividend growth, its current annualized dividend of $6 is up 25% from last year. Over the last 5 years, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 13.56%. Any future dividend growth will depend on both earnings growth and the company's payout ratio; a payout ratio is the proportion of a firm's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc's current payout ratio is 42%. This means it paid out 42% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
Looking at this fiscal year, PNC expects solid earnings growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2022 is $14.41 per share, with earnings expected to increase 1.62% from the year ago period.
Bottom Line
From greatly improving stock investing profits and reducing overall portfolio risk to providing tax advantages, investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout.
Big, established firms that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options, but it's fairly uncommon to see high-growth businesses or tech start-ups offer their stockholders a dividend. During periods of rising interest rates, income investors must be mindful that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle. With that in mind, PNC is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of 3 (Hold).

Doctors’ orders: Queen to miss Privy Council meeting after being told to rest
By Rob Harris
London: The Queen’s doctors have ordered her to rest just one day after appointing the new British prime minister, with her deteriorating health forcing the postponement of a virtual Privy Council meeting.
The 96-year-old monarch broke tradition on Tuesday by accepting the resignation of Boris Johnson and inviting Liz Truss to form a new government in person at Balmoral Castle, in the Scottish Highlands, after Buckingham Palace decided it was unwise for her to travel to London, where the event would traditionally take place.
The Privy Council meeting had been planned as a virtual event via video link to avoid Privy Councillors having to make the 1600-kilometre round trip from London to Scotland for government business.
During the meeting, Truss would have taken her oath as First Lord of the Treasury and new cabinet ministers would have been sworn into their roles, also being made privy counsellors if not previously appointed.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “After a full day yesterday, Her Majesty has this afternoon accepted doctors’ advice to rest.
“This means that the Privy Council meeting that had been due to take place this evening will be rearranged.”
The monarch remains at Balmoral and the latest advice does not involve a hospital stay.
She was photographed for the first time in months on Tuesday, greeting Truss who became the 15th prime minister of the Queen’s 70-year reign. Wearing a grey cardigan and a pleated Balmoral tartan skirt, she appeared cheerful as she welcomed Truss. She held a walking stick as she leaned forward to shake hands.
Royal commentators said that a prominent bruise on her right hand was likely to reflect a benign condition of old age rather than a result of a fall or any other incident.
About 10 per cent of people over 50 will have “senile purpura”, also known as Bateman purpura. This means that they bruise easily after minor bumps as the skin and blood vessels become more fragile.
For most of the year, she has endured ongoing “episodic mobility issues” that are reported to have worsened over the past few weeks.
As head of state, it is the Queen’s duty to appoint the prime minister to lead the British government.
She has been taking her traditional summer break in Scotland with family and guests. She usually stays at the estate from August to October.
During the past seven months, the palace has opted to confirm the Queen’s attendance at public engagements on the day, depending on how she is feeling.
During this period, she has missed several high-profile engagements, including the state opening of parliament, a Platinum Jubilee concert and a commemorative Derby Day at Epsom Downs racecourse.

A Flex Alert has been issued for California for Sunday, the fifth consecutive day it has been issued as the Golden State endures an intense heat wave during this long Labor Day weekend.
For five straight days, a Flex Alert has been issued by the California Independent System Operator as high heat and heightened demand for electricity continues across the Golden State. The Cal ISO alert is a statewide call for voluntary electricity conservation during the peak of energy use of California's power grid, which is from 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday's Flex Alert is for that five-hour period of the day.
Like Saturday, daytime temperatures on Sunday are expected to soar past 100 degrees in most regions of the state and throughout the West throughout the holiday weekend. Cal ISO is anticipating high electricity demand, particularly from air conditioning use, and needs voluntary conservation steps to assist in balancing electricity supply and demand.
The Flex Alert covers the time of day -- late afternoon and early evening -- when the power grid is most compromised from higher demand and less solar energy. During that time, the state's consumers are urged to conserve power by setting thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, if health permits, and avoiding use of major appliances and turning off unnecessary lights.

As promised earlier this year at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), the company today confirmed it’s broadening access to its Apple Fitness+ service to users beyond Apple Watch owners alone. At its iPhone 14 event today, Apple indicated that, later this fall, Apple Fitness+ would be available to all iPhone users regardless of whether or not they owned an Apple Watch.
In a press release, Apple said the Fitness+ would arrive in all 21 countries where the service is offered.
Previously, Fitness+ was designed to cater to Watch owners who wanted to access workouts from their wrist-worn wearable, offering a variety of different workout types ranging from yoga to strength training to HIIT to even wellness-focused sessions involving guided mediations. Through the Fitness app, users can view things like real-time metrics, such as their heart rate, directly on the Watch’s screen. Since it’s a subscription, the service also promises regular weekly updates with new workouts.
The expansion will bring the Fitness app to all iPhone users, where it can track things like walking info and other fitness metrics. Plus, when detailing the new iPhone 14 this afternoon, Apple noted the Fitness app would also now include an enhanced workout summary as part of its feature set.
The company also says iOS 16 users will be able to earn awards for personal records, streaks, or major milestones — like completing a Fitness+ workout or meditation.
The app itself will ship to iPhone users with the release of iOS 16, which is arriving on Monday, September 12.
The Fitness app will also offer iPhone users access to the existing service’s 3,000 studio-style workouts and meditations.
The company didn’t offer much more about the iPhone version of the Fitness app during its presentation, indicating the release is not necessarily about giving the app itself a big upgrade, but rather about bringing a potential revenue-generator to more Apple consumers.
Plenty of Apple owners are in the market for a workout app, as the App Store’s top charts show, but until this expansion, they didn’t have the option of a first-party version.
With iOS 16’s release on Monday, Fitness+ will also get its latest release of new workouts, with an updated fourth “season” of its walking companion audio feature, Time to Walk.

LONGUEUIL, QC, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Letenda, a company that is reinventing public transit with clean and sustainable energy technologies, is pleased to announce its first order of electric buses to date in the United States. The Vermont Agency of Transportation will award a contract for 4 Electrip buses, a 30-foot (9-meter) 100% electric bus.
These vehicles will be delivered to Green Mountain Transit (GMT) and Marble Valley Regional Transit District (MVRTD) and will be in service in the cities of Burlington and Rutland. These 4 vehicles are added to the 22 electric buses already in circulation or in the process of being supplied by pursuing the objective of reducing pollution. The Electrip's superior energy efficiency allows it to provide excellent performance in winter conditions, which was a major criterion in Letenda's selection. This decision also reflects the state of Vermont's goal to help companies trying to introduce more electric vehicle options to the U.S. market.
"We believe in the importance of supporting transit companies in their transition to the electrification of public transit to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We are proud to be part of the solution by supporting our customers: Green Mountain Transit (GMT) and Marble Valley Regional Transit District (MVRTD) as well as the state of Vermont in its efforts towards a zero emissions economy. Québec and the state of Vermont have a similar climate and proximity that invite an exceptional opportunity for collaboration," mentioned Mr. Nicolas Letendre, President and CEO of Letenda.
"Vermont is committed to combatting climate change and electrifying the transportation sector is an important piece of the puzzle. Vermont is proud to become the first recipient in the U.S of Letenda electric busses, which helps show our dedication to these efforts. It is critical that we show our commitment with the investments we choose to make. I want to thank our partners, including Letenda, for their work to build a greener future," said Phil Scott, Governor of Vermont.
"VTrans is excited to add four Letenda electric buses to our fleet, which already has four electric buses in use statewide and another 14 to be delivered soon. Green Mountain Transit and Marble Valley Regional Transit District will work together to procure these vehicles from Letenda, with delivery likely in 2023. We thank the Federal Transit Administration, our public transit providers, the regional utility companies, and Letenda for working toward our shared goals of decreasing pollution, improving the ridership experience, and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels," said Joe Flynn, Secretary of State of Vermont Agency of transportation.
"Congratulations to Québec-based Letenda for this first order in the United States. Vermont and Québec share more than a border, we share a vision for a greener future and a zero-emission transportation system. Thanks to this shared vision, companies in Québec and Vermont can grow together, innovate together and allow communities to prosper on both sides of the border," said Marie-Claude Francoeur, Québec Delegate to New England.
Letenda is a Québec-based zero-emission bus manufacturer founded in 2016 and propelled by its values of sustainability, innovation and collaborative spirit. Letenda works with all industry stakeholders to build a sustainable business and a product that is tailored to the needs of operators and passengers. Letenda's Electrip bus innovates through its superior energy efficiency, its unique geometry specially developed for electric propulsion and its manufacturing concept inspired by the aeronautics industry.

Apple unveils iPhone 14 with emergency satellite messaging, Ultra Watch
By Stephen Nellis
Sept 7 (Reuters) - Apple Inc introduced new iPhone 14 models capable of using satellites to make emergency calls and an adventure-focused Ultra Watch for sports like diving and triathlons.
The sports and outdoor-focused products will test whether Apple's relatively affluent customer base will keep spending in the face of rising inflation.
Prices of the high-end iPhone 14s are the same as last year's iPhone 13 models. But Apple dropped its cheapest option, the iPhone mini, meaning the cheapest model now costs $100 more than last year.
The iPhone 14 will start at $799 and the iPhone Plus at $899 and be available for preorder starting Sept. 9. The iPhone Pro will cost $999 and the iPhone Pro Max $1,099 and be available Sept. 16.
Apple said its satellite SOS will work with emergency responders. It also said that in some situations, users will be able to use its FindMy app to share their location via satellite when they have no other connectivity.
Globalstar said in a filing that it will be the satellite operator for Apple's emergency SOS service. Globalstar's stock rose 16% on Wednesday after the announcement of the Apple deal. The stock had gained almost 70% from mid-June to Tuesday's close, following speculation of working with Apple.
Other companies are working on similar functions. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said last month it is working with T-Mobile to use its Starlink satellites to connect phones directly to the internet.
Apple's iPhone 14 Plus model will have a larger screen like Apple's iPhone Pro models but an A15 processor chip like the previous iPhone 13.
The Cupertino, California-based company also showed a trio of new Apple Watches, including a new Watch Ultra model aimed at extreme sports and diving and designed to challenge sportswatch specialists such as Garmin and Polar.
"Apple is competing for a consumer segment that already has high loyalty towards their existing products and vendors, and it will need to prove itself over time," said Runar Bjorhovde, an analyst at Canalys.
The Ultra has a bigger battery to last through events like triathlons and better waterproofing and temperature resistance to operate in outdoor environments, as well as better GPS tracking for sports.
The new Watches include an upgraded budget model called the SE and a Series 8 Watch with crash detection and low-power mode for 36 hours of battery life.
The Series 8 with cellular will start at $499 and the SE will start at $299 with cellular. The Ultra, which includes cellular in its base model, will start at $799 and be available Sept. 23.
Apple said the new Series 8 watch has a temperature sensor that will work in conjunction with its previously released cycle tracking app to retroactively detect ovulation. The company emphasized the privacy approach of its cycle tracking. Privacy and reproductive health data has become a focus for tech companies in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that ended a constitutional right to abortion in the United States.
Apple said it does not have the key to decrypt health data such as cycle tracking.
Apple also touted that its second-generation AirPods Pro will double the amount of noise cancellation over the original version.
But while accessories like the Apple Watch have driven incremental sales from Apple's existing user base, the iPhone remains the bedrock of its business with 52.4% of sales in its most recent fiscal year.
Apple's stock was up 0.8% after the presentation, lagging the S&P 500's gain of 1.8% for the session.
Apple did not give any hints or a preview of its mixed-reality headset on Wednesday. The device is expected to have cameras that pass-through view of the outside world to the wearer while overlaying digital objects on the physical world. Analysts do not expect the device to go on sale until next year at the earliest.
A rival headset called Project Cambria is in the works from Meta Platforms Inc, which is spending billions of dollars on the project.

Frankie Lewis (Rose Ayling-Ellis) was followed home by a creep who refused to take no for an answer in powerful EastEnders scenes, highlighting the dangers women can face on a night out.
The much-loved character joined friend Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) on a night out in Wednesday’s (September 7) edition of the BBC One soap, after an upsetting meeting with her new boss.
Frankie was horrified earlier this week to find Denzel Danes (Jayden Ladega), Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) and Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) had posted an inappropriate video of her online, and thus she went to the headmaster’s office, hoping he would take the matter seriously.
His response, however, left her incredibly disappointed, and thus Lola suggested a night of clubbing in the hopes that it would cheer her up.
Frankie was reluctant at first, but ultimately agreed, and when she headed to the club with her pals, she started to enjoy herself.
One of the club-goers, however, wouldn’t leave her alone, and proceeded to get in her face, before sexually assaulting her on the dance floor.
Frankie pulled away from him repeatedly, making it clear that he needed to back off, and the experience left her wanting to return home.
Lola was determined to go with her, but Frankie insisted that she stay put, reiterating that she’d be fine.
When she was on the tube, however, she realised that the pest from the club was sitting opposite of her, and soon enough, he moved beside her, before placing his hand on her leg and making more unwanted advances.
Frankie, again, pushed him away, telling him: ‘No’, before getting off at Walford station and walking home, convinced that he hadn’t followed her.
But he had.
Subsequent scenes saw the creep emerge from the station entrance and proceed to follow her, calling out to her.
EastEnders continues Thursday September 8 at 7:30pm on BBC One.

We said earlier this year that Portal is "more sinister than you remember (opens in new tab)," a quality that arises largely from the presence of GlaDOS, the primary antagonist of the series, who's basically a passive-aggressive Shodan. In a recent interview with Kiwi Talkz (embedded above), GlaDOS voice actor Ellen McLain gave a little bit of a clue as to how she was able to pull that off so successfully: She occasionally dreams about murdering people.
"An actor, I believe, brings their whole intellect, emotional life, feelings, to any project," McLain, who seems like a lovely person in real life, explained. "You bring your whole self to the project. We all have everything in us. I've never been pushed to the point of murder in my own life, but I'm not saying that it couldn't happen under certain circumstances. If I had to protect myself or protect someone that I loved.
"Because I've had dreams—I've had murderous dreams. In my dreams I've murdered people ... I don't have murderous dreams very often, but I've had them, where I've murdered someone."
Okay then! I did not see that coming. To be fair, McLain clarified that she only murders people (in her dreams) in self-defense, which is reasonable and will no doubt help if she finds herself being interrogated by the dream police. She also said that she didn't share any of her murderous imaginings with the dev team for use in the Portal games, although not because was trying to keep the whole "I have murder dreams" thing on the down-low, but just because the murder suggestion box was already full: "Erik [Wolpaw, the writer of Portal and Portal 2] has plenty of ideas of his own," she said. "I don't have to give him any ideas."
The interview covers a lot of ground relating to Portal and other work McLain has done for Valve over the years—she's also the voice of Overwatch (opens in new tab) in the Half-Life games, among other roles—and it's all very interesting and mostly more serious than my admittedly not-very-serious suggestion that she might have put more of herself into GlaDOS than anyone realized. Other topics in the hour-long chat include where the GlaDOS voice originally came from, the famous Portal theme song Still Alive (opens in new tab), and how the only work for Valve she ever did with her husband—John Patrick Lowrie, aka The Sniper (opens in new tab)—ended up on the Left 4 Dead cutting room floor.
And, of course, she said she's eager to get back into Portal 3. "Write in. Email Valve. You've got my blessing," McLain said. "Say, 'Ellen wants to do a Portal 3'."
She's not the only one: Back in February, Wolpaw—the writer with "plenty of ideas of his own"—also said it was time for Valve to get on with making a new Portal, and urged fans to "send mail to Gabe (opens in new tab)."

Laurence Fox, the star of the Breitbart production My Son Hunter, said that the UK has become a country run by “two left-wing parties” following the installation of former Liberal Liz Truss as the UK’s next ‘Conservative’ Prime Minister.
In an interview with Breitbart News’ editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot 125 on Tuesday ahead of the launch of My Son Hunter, available to stream or download now on MySonHunter.com, Laurence Fox — who besides being an actor is also the leader of the UK’s Reclaim party — said that his country is facing many of the same problems as the United States in terms of cancel culture and the infiltration of the woke movement into institutions.
To make matters worse, in Fox’s perspective, both major parties, the governing Conservative party and the opposition Labour Party are nothing more than two sides of the same coin, with both representing the left of the political spectrum.
“The front benches, the most powerful people in the Conservative party, I don’t think they are conservative particularly. I think England and Great Britain has became a country where you have two left-wing parties, one very left-wing party and one quite left-wing party,” Fox said.

Police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for a man they believe shot 26 transit buses with a BB gun in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside earlier this year.
William Tallio, 43, is charged with 11 counts of mischief and 11 counts of possession of a weapon related to offences that occurred between Jan. 19 and Jan. 29.
In that 10-day period, the Vancouver Police Department says windows on 26 buses were broken while traveling along East Hastings Street. All the buses had passengers on board at the time they were targeted, but no one was ever injured and police say no victims ever came forward during their investigation.
In fact, VPD says damage to the buses often wasn’t even noticed by bus drivers until the ends of their shifts.
“This was a difficult investigation, given the number of buses that were targeted and because none of the crimes were immediately reported,” VPD Sgt. Steve Addison said in a news release. “Investigators worked backwards to pinpoint the exact location where the crimes occurred, to identify the suspect, and to gather evidence linking the suspect to the crimes.”
He said investigators were able to narrow the location of the attacks down to the area of East Hastings Street between Columbia and Carrall streets. They then identified Tallio as a suspect, and the BC Prosecution Service charged him on Aug. 29.
Tallio is now wanted Canada-wide.

The closest thing Europe has to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is Berlin’s IFA, or “Internationale Funkausstellung.” Held annually, it’s the continent’s biggest consumer electronics trade show, where companies from around the world come to exhibit their latest audio, video, mobile and other devices. And although the “funk” in the title comes from the German word for “radio” – the event dates back to the 1920s – this year’s edition was enlivened by plenty of cool gadgets – advanced new tablets and televisions, plus genuine innovations in audio and virtual reality.
This year, Billboard gave awards to 15 products that seem essential, innovative, or in some cases just plain cool. Winners include pioneering virtual reality products but also new items that elevate standard technology beyond everyday reality, such as solar-powered earbuds and futuristic-looking aluminum gaming PCs.
BEST BLUETOOTH SPEAKER, HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION — Fender Indio2
Designed by the Southern California team responsible for Fender amplifiers, and packing 60 watts of power and two 3.5-inch woofers, the Indio2 is a Bluetooth speaker worthy of the legendary instrument company’s name – and design style. The Indio2 – which is $380 in black and $400 in tweed – runs on a rechargeable lithium battery (good for up to 25 hours of playback), plays music wirelessly or through a 3.5mm jack, and can pair up with another speaker like it for stereo sound that can get loud enough to bother the neighbors. Just one question: Why doesn’t the volume go to eleven?
BEST BLUETOOTH SPEAKER, LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION — Boompod Zero
Not every outdoor occasion calls for a serious speaker – sometimes you want one you can throw into a backpack, or even a purse or jacket pocket. The Boompod Zero, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, is perfect for such occasions. The sound is solid, especially when two speakers are paired, and, at $40, the price is right. These speakers are waterproof and small enough to fit in a beach bag, plus available in an array of colors, with new ones coming soon.
BEST PSYCHEDELIC SPEAKER — Duomondi Spero 16
You got your psychedelic light in my speaker! You got your speaker in my psychedelic light! Duomondi has designed the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups of high-end sound and vision. Its Spero speakers are diagonal cubes on stands suitable for sculptures, and their angles light up. (The light show can be customized with an app, of course.) The sound is serious, too: The mid-tier, portable Spero 16 (price not yet available) packs 45 watts of power, and each individual unit has left and right stereo speakers, plus plenty of bass. They can pair, too. This is the art of noise.
BEST OVER-EAR HEADPHONES — Soundcore Space Q45
Over-ear headphones are better known for sound than innovation, but Anker’s $150 Soundcore Space Q45 scores well on both. The sound is impressive, thanks to 40mm drivers – plus customizable with the company’s HearID technology – and the adaptive noise cancelling technology is powerful enough to quiet planes, trains and automobiles and flexible enough to turn down indoors where there’s less background noise. Users can choose from among five levels of transparency and noise cancelling to better focus on their favorite music.
BEST EARBUDS — Jabra Elite 5
The Danish company Jabra has roots in the hearing-aid business, and it focuses on making earbuds that fit, a decidedly unflashy strategy that results in more comfort and less chance of them falling out, plus better sound. (Better fit – also called “passive noise cancellation” — means less background noise and thus higher audio quality.) The $150 Jabra Elite 5 also has Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, which is more effective across a wider range of frequencies, and an app that lets users personalize their sound settings.
BEST EARBUDS UNDER $100 — TECNO True 1
Available at the end of the year for between $70 and $90, Tecno’s True 1 may not be the best audiophile earbuds out there, but they offer an impressive value for under $100. They have adaptive noise cancellation of the quality usually offered in more expensive products and a mic setup for crystal-clear phone calls – plus software to optimize performance in an impressive variety of scenarios and a customizable equalizer to personalize sound according to a user’s preferences. They look pretty sleek, too.
BEST EARBUDS FOR A(NOTHER) GREEN WORLD — Urbanista Phoenix
At this point, there’s only so much you can do with earbuds. So Urbanista gave the built-in battery in its Phoenix line — due later this year but not yet priced – a conceptual recharge. The earbuds charge in a case, as most do, but the case itself is light-powered – it charges fastest in the sun, though even a good lamp will power it up. The sound is solid, the concept is cool, and the convenience can’t be beat. Let the sun shine in.
BEST SCREEN OF THE FUTURE — TCL’s curved 34″ mini LED gaming monitor
This state-of-the-art gaming monitor doesn’t have a planned price or release date — or even a name! — but its image quality garnered plenty of attention at IFA. It has an immersive curved screen — perfect for gaming — with advanced Mini-LED and a 165Hz refresh rate. It’s sharp enough to make viewers feel they’re in a game.
BEST SCREEN, PORTABLE DIVISION — XGIMI Halo+ Projector
If you want to bring a great show to the great outdoors – imagine watching Yellowstone at Yellowstone – XGIMI’s $850 Halo+ projector will do the trick. It’s a serious projector (1080p, 900 ANSI Lumens and a maximum 200-inch screen size) with Intelligent Screen Adaption to simplify screen alignment, and it’s a battery that can last up to two-and-a-half hours. Perfect for a camping trip that’s less about gazing at stars than watching Star Wars.
BEST SCREEN, SPYGLASS EDITION — TCL Nxtwear S
TCL’s Nxtwear glasses look like a virtual reality rig from the future, but they offer a wearable computer screen right here in the present. The forthcoming Nxtwear S – expected in some markets in the fourth quarter of this year, but no price information yet – contains two 1080p micro OLED displays, which can show the equivalent of a 140-inch display, plus in-glasses speakers. (Good news for those who wear regular glasses: It also offers basic corrective lenses that clip in underneath.) TCL promotes the product as ideal for air travelers working on confidential documents, but in Berlin it didn’t take long for conference-goers to point out that it will inevitably, and regrettably, be used to watch porn on public transportation. Willkommen to the future!
BEST GAMING PC (THAT LOOKS LIKE THE FUTURE) — Bleu Jour Move Ultimate PC
Gaming PCs have been available in super-cool form factors for well over a decade. But if you want to walk into an e-gaming tournament like you pwn the place, the powerful Bleu Jour Move Ultimate PC could be your weapon of choice. Starting at about $1000 – and maxing out at over four times that, depending on the buyer’s choice of processor, graphics card and storage – the Move Ultimate comes in an aluminum case, and in several über-fashionable colors, like a lunchbox from Elroy Jetson future punk phase.
BEST NEW MOBILE PHONE — Honor 70
Tired of filming concerts without being able to focus on the singer? The Honor 70 has an industry-first “solo cut” mode that uses dual cameras, the new Sony IMX800 sensor and advanced image software to let users film a scene and choose one person to focus on. (It can follow and focus on a lead singer or a single kid in a school play.) It’s perfect for video and pictures. The phone looks good too, with a screen that bends around the edge of the phone. Honor has no plans to sell the device in the U.S., although it will work there; it sells for €550 in Europe, and American gadget heads shouldn’t have a hard time finding one.
BEST NEW TABLET — Honor Pad 8
The new Honor Pad 8 has eight built-in speakers and sound tuning technology that make it perfect for listening on the go – it has big sound for a thin tablet. The visuals are impressive, too: It has a sleek 6.9mm body and a 12-inch 2K display. The device can also connect to the Honor 70 with the company’s Magic-Link software. Like the Honor 70, this €350 tablet won’t be marketed in the U.S. – but it will work there, and it shouldn’t be too tough to find.
BEST WINDS OF CHANGE — Dayholi VR Dome
Virtual reality cannot live on glasses alone. So says Dayholi, which makes a VR Dome Dayholi.com that can add “wind” and smell to the visuals and sound transmitted through glasses and earphones. (“Wind” comes from fans that vary in speed and direction, and the company has already synthesized several smells that the dome can diffuse. (Smell-O-Vision anyone?) Could the VR Dome make virtual reality seem more real? Right now the price starts at $25,000, but there is a market for rentals and it’s one hell of a conversation piece.
BEST SOUND OF THE FUTURE — Mimi Hearing Wellbeing Platform
The Berlin start-up Mimi is a pioneer of “audio personalization” — it tests a user’s hearing, then offers customized presets based on it. It doesn’t offer a consumer product, instead, it partners with earphone makers and other companies to integrate its software into their products. The idea is to create perfect sound for a particular listener – not some imaginary ideal.

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.

A CLR Interview with The New Year Parade Filmmaker Tom Quinn
Tom Quinn’s 2008 film The New Year Parade follows a family of four as they struggle to stay afloat in the midst of infidelity, divorce, confusion, and coming of age. Twenty-five-year old Jack McGonagul (Greg Lyons) and his sixteen-year-old sister Kat (Jenny Welsh) wrestle with their parents’ increasing vitriol as they learn to function in their own relationships. The Philadelphia Mummers Parade bookends the film; as Jack and his father strive for excellence in the South Philadelphia String Band, their family collapses around them. The Philadelphia backdrop and the documentary-style footage of the passionate Mummers anchor the film deeply in an iconic American city with a diverse and proud cultural history.
The award-winning film, which garnered praise from Variety, Filmmaker Magazine, and many others, is a truly incisive, intelligent, and well acted tribute to American family life. With its gritty, documentary tone and independent feel, the film’s a classic American story–one to which almost everyone can relate. Mr. Quinn granted the California Literary Review an interview to delve a little deeper into the mind of a talented and tenacious jack-of-all-trades, and to discuss the rigors of making a movie.
California Literary Review: First, congratulations! The film was nominated for the John Cassavetes Award at the Independent Spirit Awards, and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative at Slamdance Festival and Best Ensemble Cast at the Ashland Independent Film Festival. After all the years of work you put into The New Year Parade, you must’ve been completely thrilled to receive that kind of recognition!
Tom Quinn: Thanks! We’re all more than thrilled. I remember Jenny Welsh asking early on if we would play film festivals and I had told her, “Probably not. They’re tough to get into.” So, this whole thing has been a very pleasant surprise for everyone involved.
CLR: Tom, you wrote, directed, edited, produced, and did the cinematography for The New Year Parade. That pretty much makes it your baby. The movie is about a Philadelphia family struggling with infidelity and divorce. Why did you want to bring this particular story to life?
TQ: As we were going through our twenties and getting closer to things like marriage, several friends of mine began dealing with issues from their parents’ divorces they thought long passed. We were talking and many of them felt like divorce is an open issue, publicly considered dealt with, but they felt there wasn’t much focus on the longer term impacts. I started interviewing them about their parents’ breakups and many of them were telling very specific memories in the same ways – small moments of realization or a change in self-image. I started using these ideas to build a storyline around divorce that would focus on some of these very common, very quiet little things a lot of young people have gone through. When Carnivalesque released the DVD, it was a cool opportunity to add the interviews as bonus material, so it’s all come full circle.
CLR: The film took a number of years to complete, and you had over 160 hours of footage to edit down to the final cut. Can you tell us about some of the setbacks and what kept you going?
TQ: We started casting the film in the spring of 2004 and went into production that summer. Many of the core cast members had never acted before and we spent weeks rehearsing and sort of training them, while some of the supporting members like Irene Longshore and Tobias Segal were professionals. Initially, we had an actor for the role of the son, Jack, as well. After two weeks of shooting, it became clear that I had miscast Jack. We decided to postpone production for a year and began work on recasting and shooting documentary footage with The South Philadelphia String Band.
We cast Greg Lyons that winter and did a few small pick-ups and the 2005 Mummers Parade before resuming in earnest the summer of 2005. We shot 70 percent of the film during those months and then I started grad school, Jenny went back to college, and Greg’s band, Eastern Conference Champions, were signed to Universal Records and moved to LA. Over the next 2 years we all chipped away on nights, weekends, and vacation time.
In many ways, these were setbacks, but they actually helped the film develop and improve. The actors, crew, and I grew more and more confident in ourselves and the story, and we had time to shape and re-shoot based on the edit.
CLR: Acting and dialogue in The New Year Parade is brutal at times. I’m thinking, specifically, of the fight between teenage daughter Kat and her mother. How much did you allow the actors to ad-lib, or how closely did you want them to stick to the script?
TQ: I had shot a feature before this one and had the actors stick to the script word for word. This was a mistake and resulted in a stilted film. I then did B camera on The Other America, by Eugene Martin, where improv was encouraged and resulted in some really dynamic moments. As we cast the film we found that all of our actors were extremely good on their feet, and thoughtful about their character choices. Also, since many of them were new to acting, they did not have the tools to draw on old emotions, but were very good at creating them and responding fresh in the moment.
For instance, when we started shooting the fight between Kat and her mom, Jenny was having a tough time and her performance was rather flat. We talked and she felt she couldn’t relate to the fight because, as scripted, she had the upper hand and never would in real life. So MaryAnn and talked about ways she could take all of the control from Kat and in the next take, Jenny started crying. It’s the kind of moment you can only get when everyone trusts and cares about each other, and when they are not thinking about their lines or next mark.
CLR: In the film, the South Philadelphia String Band’s preparation for the New Year’s Parade is a matter of pride and family. What made you focus on the South Philly String Band, and how much time did you spend filming with them to get all the wonderful documentary footage?
TQ: I was having a difficult time structuring the story around these small moments and was filming a friend’s wedding when the Mummers showed up and started playing. I realized there was a whole world of families behind the scenes of the parade I had seen on TV every January first. My friend Frank Voight introduced me to The South Philadelphia String Band and we initially planned a two-week partnership. Instead, it went on for three years: they gave us a key to their club, bags of costumes, acted in scenes, wore wireless mics at drills, and secured five press passes so we could shoot the 2005 parade.
The bulk of the doc footage was shot in the fall of 2004 as the band prepared for their Egyptian theme. Jenny and Andrew would come to practices and work on props, and Mark Doyle (the only crew on most days) would shoot their drills twice a week. We cast Greg that December, and were fortunate to get him down the club once before New Year’s. All in all, we shot 80 hours of practices, drills, parades, and concerts with the band. They were amazingly supportive and we made many good friends there.
CLR: The film’s end is ambiguous. Why did you choose to finish where you did rather than going with the original ending (which is on the DVD’s special features)?
TQ: Because my friends were still dealing with these issues many years later, we always wanted an ambiguous ending. I thought we had that in the script, but upon shooting the sequence it was very romantic and exciting and felt like a bow on the film. It was Greg’s first day of shooting and we were all psyched to be getting this great footage of him running through the crowd toward Julie in costume, but in the film, it felt wrong. We wanted to create a sense that everyone had taken small steps, but there was still a ways to go. Still, I was glad to get it on the bonus features!
CLR: You mentioned recently that you have a daily grind, 9-5 job. Was that true while you were making the movie? If so, how did you find time?
TQ: Well, the first year I was doing tech support and running the TV studio at a local high school (where my co-producer, Steve Beal, is a biology teacher). Then, I went into grad school at Temple University and did freelance work where I could. Last August, I began working as an editor and am currently cutting the first feature by another Philly filmmaker. Since everyone involved had their full time jobs, or school, or both, scheduling was always tough. But at the same time, it meant we could all work without pay and still stay afloat. During the final year I often found myself using The New Year Parade to complete school assignments, so that worked out well.
CLR: Typical, but important question: which filmmakers’ work do you most admire, and why?
TQ: I’m a huge fan of Gus Van Sant because he is constantly taking risks. His craft is perfect but not precious and his filmmaking really gets me excited about making new work. I also particularly love Elia Kazan, Spielberg, and Cassavetes. They all elicit strong performances and have distinct voices and visual styles.
CLR: The New Year Parade is an inspiring work for anyone who thinks they can’t make films. What advice do you have for aspiring filmmakers?
TQ: It may sound trite, but I think the only advice I have is to make films. It’s really easy to fall into the trap of talking about films, daydreaming about them, watching them, making excuses about budget and resources, and never making them. The only other piece is to step back from the notion that your first film is going to be this perfect thing. We would never expect that from painting, or writing, or photography. Prepare to give it time, accept slow growth, and have a good time doing it.

Having integrated more than a dozen new faces into the program, coach Jack Hanratty believes the Canadian women’s rugby sevens team has turned a corner.
The Canadian squad will get a chance to prove him right at the Rugby World Cup Sevens, which start Friday in Cape Town.
The women’s competition kicks off with round-of-16 knockout matches. The fifth-seeded Canadians open against No. 12 China with the winner moving on to face either the fourth-seeded U.S. or No. 13 Poland.
The 10th-seeded Canadian men start against No. 23 Zimbabwe with the winner taking on No. 7 France in the round of 16.
The tournament features the “winner takes all knockout” format introduced at Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 in San Francisco, with a single loss taking teams out of championship contention.
Top-seeded Australia takes on debutant Madagascar, seeded 16th, while Olympic champion and second-seeded New Zealand faces No. 16 Colombia in other opening women’s matches.
Some 150,000 fans are expected in Cape Town Stadium over the three-day event which marks the eighth edition of the men’s World Cup Sevens and the fourth for the women.
The Canadian women, runner-up to New Zealand at the 2013 event in Moscow, finished seventh four years ago. But there has been massive turnover in the program since last summer’s Tokyo Olympics where the Canadians — bronze medallists at the 2016 Rio Games — finished ninth overall.
The women are coming off a fourth-place showing at the Commonwealth Games in July in Birmingham, England, losing 19-12 to New Zealand in the bronze-medal match. New Zealand won 45-7 when the teams met in pool play with Canada defeating England 26-19 and Sri Lanka 74-0 in its other round-robin games.
“When we beat England, that was kind of the moment where the celebration was very tame because we wanted something more,” Hanratty said. “Our goal was certainly to get to the medal game.”
Canada had targeted England in the first round, knowing it was a key match in terms of advancing. Hanratty’s team had lost 24-7 to Britain and 33-12 to England earlier in the season on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
The Canadians lost 24-7 to eventual silver medallist Fiji in the games semifinal before meeting the Black Ferns again for the bronze in a game Hanratty described as “one that got away.”
He recalled the players and staff gathering in the locker-room afterwards, with new Rugby Canada CEO Nathan Bombrys in attendance.
“We got off the field being proud of the performance but knowing that we didn’t want to settle for fourth place. We want a lot more in the future,” said Hanratty. “We were all upset that we weren’t going to end the games with a medal around the neck, which was certainly something that we wanted.”
“People agree we’ve started to move away from celebrating the small wins and now actually building up to what are the bigger wins that we can have as a franchise.”
Calgary’s Piper Logan turned heads at the Commonwealth Games in her first international call-up, named to the World Rugby Sevens Women’s Dream Team. She scored Canada’s opening try in the bronze-medal game.
The 21-year-old Logan is one of eight players aged 23 or younger on a 13-woman roster that includes 19-year-old Krissy Scurfield and Chloe Daniels. Logan is also the 13th new face to join the senior squad under Hanratty.
Bianca Farella is the veteran of the team. The 30-year-old from Montreal ranks second all-time among World Series women’s try-scorers with 157.
“The energy that’s been given to her by some of our younger players, she’s also expressing it,” said Hanratty. “Which is actually, I think, giving her a new lease on life. She’s hitting some great testing scores. We’re really happy with where Bianca is at.”
Hanratty has named the same side as the one in Birmingham with the exception of Florence Symonds who comes in for Renee Gonzalez. Breanne Nicholas and Olivia Apps, who co-captained the Commonwealth Games side, continue their leadership role.
“This has been the most competitive selection (process) since I’ve been involved,” said Hanratty. “Players have all been in form.”
After almost 10 months as interim coach, Hanratty was named head coach in August.
He was an assistant coach with the women’s team for sevens events in Vancouver and Edmonton in September 2021 and took over as interim head coach in October. Initially it was for the duration of the year but, in February, his term was extended by another eight months.
Under Hanratty’s guidance, the Canadian women finished seventh overall on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. Their best showing on the six-event season was fifth in April in Langford, B.C.
The Irish-born Hanratty previously served as an assistant coach with the Canadian women’s 15s team, head coach of the under-20 15s squad and as a coach with the Rugby Canada academy in Halifax.
Hanratty was working as a development officer for Leinster Rugby when he came to Canada 10 years ago, initially for seven days to run a course for a rugby club in Halifax. That turned into a sabbatical for the summer and eventually a new full-time job and home.
Hanratty has also served in an advisory role to the Canadian Sports Centre (CSC) Atlantic and Rugby Nova Scotia.

The Apple Watch Ultra was announced at today's Apple Event, bringing with it a new bold design and a wide range of features built for endurance, exploration, and adventure.
What makes it perfect for such extreme usage? Let's take a look…
Starting off with the design, the Apple Watch Ultra features a completely redesigned 49mm titanium case that protects a flat sapphire front crystal. It's much chunkier and more robust than before and houses the biggest and brightest Apple Watch display yet. This should make it easier to read in challenging environments.
The Ultra also features a customisable Action button which offers instant access to a wide range of useful features, including Workouts, Compass Waypoints, Backtrack, and more.
In terms of hardware, the Apple Watch Ultra has three built-in microphones to significantly improve sound quality as well as louder speakers, which, combined, make voice calls clearer in windy or extreme conditions.
For the first time ever in an Apple Watch, the precision dual-frequency GPS integrates both L1 and the latest frequency, L5, plus new positioning algorithms to deliver the most accurate GPS of any Apple Watch to date. This provides more precise distance, pace, and route data for training and competing in marathons and endurance races.
The on-wrist operating temperature was designed to help explore the most extreme and remote locations, from freezing cold mountains at -20° C to the blazing desert heat at 55° C.
To support your underwater adventures, Apple Watch Ultra is certified to WR100. Apple Watch Ultra is also certified to EN13319, which is an internationally recognised standard for dive accessories, including depth gauges that are relied upon by recreational divers around the world.
The Apple Watch Ultra is certified to the relevant aspects of MIL-STD-810H, used for military equipment and popular among rugged equipment manufacturers. IKt has been tested in altitude, high temperature, low temperature, temperature shock, contamination by fluids, rain, humidity, immersion, sand and dust, freeze/thaw, ice/freezing rain, shock, vibration, and more. So if you do find a way to damage it… well done.
Just like the Apple Watch 8, the Apple Watch Ultra is powered by watchOS 9, which includes all of the connectivity, activity, and health features that have made the Apple Watch T3's best smartwatch for years running.
There are, though, specific applications designed for the Ultra.
For explorers and adventurers, the completely redesigned Compass app surfaces more in-depth information and three distinct views. The app displays a new hybrid view that simultaneously shows both an analogue compass dial and a digital view. Turning the Digital Crown reveals an additional view that includes latitude, longitude, elevation, and incline, as well as an orienteering view showing Compass Waypoints and Backtrack.
Backtrack uses GPS data to create a path showing where the user has been, which is useful if they get lost or disoriented and need help retracing their steps. It can also turn on automatically in the background when off the grid.
One feature that I particularly like is that to optimise for low-light conditions, turning the Digital Crown makes the interface red for better visibility in the dark.
Utilising a new depth gauge, Apple Watch Ultra features a Depth app designed with an intuitive user interface. With just a glance, the Depth app displays time, current depth, water temperature, duration underwater, and max depth reached.
In fact, the new Oceanic+ app turns Apple Watch Ultra into a capable dive computer.
New for the Apple Watch Ultra are three bands designed for the great outdoors, including the Trail Loop, which is the thinnest Apple Watch band to date designed for endurance athletes and runners; the Apline Loop which is strong and durable designed for explorers; and the Ocean Band, which is a rubber strap which is designed specifically for extreme water sports and recreational diving.
In terms of battery life, the Apple Watch Ultra has enough battery life for most users to complete a long-course triathlon, consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and full marathon at 26.2 miles, or for a multi-day backpacking trip, battery life can be extended to reach up to 60 hours using Low Power Mode plus an additional low-power setting that reduces the frequency of GPS and heart rate readings.
The Apple Watch Ultra is priced at £849 / $799 and will be available in stores beginning Friday, September 23.
Of course, that price tag is rather high for a new Apple Watch, and if it sounds too high for you, don't worry – if you don't need all of these extreme sports features (and let's face it, not many of us do need those features) then the new Apple Watch Series 8 or updated Apple Watch SE will likely be more suited to you.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — An outbreak of bird flu that has led to the deaths of 43 million chickens and turkeys this year across the U.S. has been found at a giant egg-laying operation in Ohio, state and federal agriculture officials said Wednesday.
The case confirmed over the weekend in Ohio's Defiance County has affected roughly 3 million chickens, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The egg-laying farm has started euthanizing all of its flock, said Dennis Summers, the state’s veterinarian.
The highly pathogenic disease has returned to the Midwest earlier than authorities expected after a lull of several months with cases in Indiana, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin within the past week. There also have been several detections in western states over the summer.
The disease is typically carried by migrating waterfowl, such as geese and ducks, Summers said. It only occasionally affects humans, such as farm workers, and the USDA keeps poultry from infected flocks out of the food supply.
The outbreak that earlier this year contributed to a spike in egg and meat prices appeared to be waning in June, but officials warned then that another surge could come back this fall.

WASHINGTON — It’s been more than a decade since President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, welcomed back George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, for the unveiling of their White House portraits, part of a beloved Washington tradition that for decades managed to transcend partisan politics.
President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, are set to revive that ritual — after an awkward and anomalous gap in the Trump years — when they host the Obamas on Wednesday for the big reveal of their portraits in front of scores of friends, family and staff.
The Obama paintings will not look like any in the White House portrait collection to which they will be added. They were America’s first Black president and first lady.
The ceremony will also mark Michelle Obama’s first visit to the White House since Obama’s presidency ended in January 2017, and only the second visit for Barack Obama. He was at the White House in April to mark the 12th anniversary of the health care law he signed in 2010.
Portrait ceremonies often give past presidents an opportunity to showcase their comedic timing.
“I am pleased that my portrait brings an interesting symmetry to the White House collection. It now starts and ends with a George W,” Bush quipped at his ceremony in 2012.
Bill Clinton joked in 2004 that “most of the time, till you get your picture hung like this, the only artists that draw you are cartoonists.”
Recent tradition, no matter the party affiliation, has had the current president genially hosting his immediate predecessor for the unveiling — as Clinton did for George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush did for Clinton and Obama did for the younger Bush.
Then there was an unexplained pause when Donald Trump did not host Obama.
Two spokespeople for Trump did not respond to emailed requests for comment on the lack of a ceremony for Obama, and whether artists are working on portraits of Trump and former first lady Melania Trump.
The White House portrait collection starts with George Washington, America’s first president. Congress bought his portrait.
Other portraits of early presidents and first ladies often came to the White House as gifts. Since the middle of the last century, the White House Historical Association has paid for the paintings.
The first portraits financed by the association were of Lyndon Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson, and John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy, said Stewart McLaurin, president of the private, nonprofit organization established by first lady Kennedy.
Before presidents and first ladies leave office, the association explains the portrait process. The former president and first lady choose the artist or artists, and offer guidance on how they want to be portrayed.
“It really involves how that president and first lady see themselves,” McLaurin said in an interview with The Associated Press.
The collection includes an iconic, full-length portrait of Washington that adorns the East Room. It is the only item still in the White House that was in the executive mansion in November 1800 when John Adams and Abigail Adams became the first president and first lady to live in the White House.
Years later, first lady Dolley Madison saved Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Washington from almost certain ruin. She had White House staff take it out of the city before advancing British forces burned the mansion in 1814. The painting was held in storage until the White House was rebuilt.
President and first lady portraits are seen by millions of White House visitors, though not all are on display. Some are undergoing conservation or are in storage.
Those that are on display line hallways and rooms in public areas of the mansion, such as the Ground Floor and its Vermeil and China Rooms, and the State Floor one level above, which has the famous Green, Blue and Red Rooms, the East Room and State Dining Room.
Portraits of Mamie Eisenhower, Pat Nixon, Lady Bird Johnson and Lou Henry Hoover grace the Vermeil Room, along with a full-length image of Jacqueline Kennedy. Michelle Obama’s portrait likely will join Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush along the Ground Floor hallway.
The State Floor hallway one floor above features recent presidents: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Gerald Ford’s portrait and the likeness of Richard Nixon — the only president to resign from office — are on view on the Grand Staircase leading to the private living quarters on the second floor.
Past presidents' images move around the White House, depending on their standing with the current occupants. Ronald Reagan, for example, moved Thomas Jefferson and Harry S. Truman out of the Cabinet Room and swapped in Dwight Eisenhower and Calvin Coolidge.
In the Clinton era, portraits of Richard Nixon and Reagan, idols of the Republican Party, lost their showcase spot in the Grand Foyer and were replaced with pictures of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman, heroes of the Democrats. Nancy Reagan temporarily moved Eleanor Roosevelt to a place of prominence in the East Room in 1984 to mark the centennial of her birth.
One of the most prominent spots for a portrait is above the mantle in the State Dining Room and it has been occupied for decades by a painting of a seated Abraham Lincoln, hand supporting his chin. It was placed there by Franklin Roosevelt.
Bill Clinton’s and George W. Bush’s portraits hang on opposing walls in the Grand Foyer.
Clinton’s would be relocated to make room for Barack Obama’s if the White House sticks to tradition and keeps the two most recent Oval Office occupants there, McLaurin said.
“That’s up to the White House, to the curators,” he said.
The association, which is funded through private donations and the sale of books and an annual White House Christmas ornament, keeps the portrait price well below market value because of the “extraordinary honor” an artist derives from having “their work of art hanging perpetually in the White House,” McLaurin said.
Details about the Obamas' portraits will stay under wraps until Wednesday.
Biden will be the rare president to host a former boss for the unveiling; he was Obama’s vice president. George H.W. Bush, who held Ronald Reagan’s ceremony, was Reagan’s No. 2.
Betty Monkman, a former White House curator, said during a 2017 podcast for the White House Historical Association that the ceremony is a “statement of generosity” by the president and first lady. “It’s a very warm, lovely moment.”
The White House portraits are one of two sets of portraits of presidents and first ladies. The National Portrait Gallery, a Smithsonian museum, maintains its own collection and those portraits are unveiled before the White House pair. The Obamas’ unveiled their museum portraits in February 2018.
Linda St. Thomas, chief spokesperson for the Smithsonian Institution, said in an email that a $650,000 donation in July from Save America, Trump’s political action committee, was earmarked for the couple’s museum portraits. Two artists have been commissioned, one for each painting, and work has begun, St. Thomas said.

The U.S. dollar strengthened to a 20-year high against a collection of foreign currencies this week, spelling more trouble for heavily indebted smaller nations around the world. The stronger dollar makes payments on loans owed in U.S. currency more expensive. This comes as some lower-income countries face mounting economic problems and others — including Sri Lanka, Lebanon and Zambia — have already defaulted on their international debts.
Last week, Argentina slapped sweeping new restrictions on imports of everything from whiskey to software to consulting services to try to contain inflation that's running at over 70%. The South American nation has been hemorrhaging foreign currency and the strengthening U.S. dollar threatens to make that worse. In July, the value of the Argentine peso fell to a record low against the dollar on the black market.

Francesc Balcells, who manages emerging market debt at the Dubai-based Frontier Investment Management Partners, says U.S. interest rate hikes like we are seeing often spawn disaster for lower-income countries.
"If you look at the history of emerging markets from the Latin American debt crisis in the 1980s, the Mexican peso crisis in 1994, to the different Argentine defaults, to the Brazilian crisis in the early 2000," Balcells ticks through a list of the most recent emerging market meltdowns, including the Asian financial crisis in the late '90s. "All of those periods always coincide with periods of interest rate hikes in the U.S."
Not only do poorer countries have larger debts in U.S. currency, now they are having to pay even more for imports bought in dollars as the currency strengthens. And this time around, global prices for fuel and food were already surging, due to currency fluctuations and significant supply shortfalls caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"Not to overuse the term, but it's been pretty much a perfect storm for emerging markets," Balcells says of the current situation.
According to the business news service Bloomberg, the number of emerging market borrowers that have debt trading at distressed levels has doubled over the last six months. The pandemic played a hand in that, as many governments took on additional debt to subsidize idled workers and keep social services functioning.
An investment analysis by Barclays Corporate and Investment Bank called the second quarter of 2022 an "unmitigated disaster" for the global economy and warned that the third quarter is "shaping up to be the summer of discontent."
Balcells says many of the larger middle-income countries can weather that storm. But others are getting battered. For instance, in May, Sri Lanka had a political and economic meltdown and was unable to pay its foreign debts. The default makes it nearly impossible for Sri Lanka to buy food and fuel on international markets.

Other nations facing financial distress are spread around the world, including El Salvador, Pakistan and Ghana. In Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa, inflation has hit a 20-year high driven almost entirely by skyrocketing food prices.
"Right now, the world is experiencing the worst food security crisis any of us have ever seen," says U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield. Speaking at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs in late August, Thomas-Greenfield said much of the current global food crisis is driven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
She notes that before the war, Russia and Ukraine accounted for almost a quarter of global grain exports. The disruption to those grain supplies, she says, is doing more than just leaving people hungry.
"Food security is directly linked to economic growth," she said. "And it matters because food insecurity leads us to political and social instability. And that endangers us all."
The big question is how much instability the current global economic downturn will produce.
Increases in food prices hit poorer nations and households harder than wealthier ones, because spending on food consumes a larger portion of their budgets. For instance, the International Monetary Fund estimates that food makes up 40% of the consumer price index in sub-Saharan Africa while accounting for less than 20% of the index in advanced economies.
Balcells, with Frontier Investment Management Partners, thinks the worst economic pain from the current economic downturn will be in smaller, highly indebted emerging market economies. He includes Ecuador, Ghana, Zambia and El Salvador on that list. Two larger nations — Pakistan and Turkey — are also at risk, he says. The IMF this week approved a billion dollar bailout to support Pakistan's floundering economy.
Another thing making 2022 different from global economic crises of the past is the role of China as a major lender. A significant portion of the debt now owed by low and middle-income countries is owed to Beijing.
"In terms of foreign debt, China is the elephant in the room," says Vasuki Shastry, an associate fellow with the global think tank Chatham House.
Unlike global debt crises of the 1980s, the lending side of the equation is now significantly different. There are now billions of dollars owed to China. Much of that debt has come as part of China's ambitious Belt and Road infrastructure program. The issue, Shastry says, is a lack of transparency around much of the lending by China. Some of it is labeled as commercial debt rather than sovereign debt even though it's owed to state-owned Chinese companies.
And negotiating debt relief with Beijing is novel territory not just for individual countries but for the broader international community. Traditionally, the IMF and the so-called Paris Club of wealthy nations play a significant role in restructuring distressed debt. But so far Beijing has preferred to deal with its borrowers on its own.
"China is essentially signaling that there are two tracks in terms of global debt negotiations," Shastry says. "One track is led by the OECD [the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development], which includes the U.S. and Europe, the traditional Paris Club. And China wants to be part of a separate track, where it alone wants to determine how it wants to deal with countries facing debt distress."
Another forum for emerging markets to hash out debt relief has been the Group of 20. But given that Russia is a member of the G-20, it's been nearly impossible since the February invasion of Ukraine to get the group's finance ministers to agree on a unified response to the growing global economic troubles.
Particularly if the war in Ukraine drags on, Shastry says the current global economic conditions are going to lead to "a lot of pain" in low and middle-income countries. He predicts that that pain is going to be even worse and could drag out even longer this time because of a lack of global cooperation to address it.

Former President Donald Trump continues to heavily suggest he will run for president in 2024, but a new poll out from NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist shows voters in the middle overwhelmingly don't want him to give it another go.
Sixty-seven percent of independents said they do not want Trump to run again, while just 28% said they do. In 2020, Trump lost independents and lost the election. In 2016, Trump fared better with the group, but throughout his presidency and afterward he suffered with them and has never regained them.
"I think we need someone who can start uniting the country," said survey participant Mike Helms, 68, of Lincolnton, N.C., an independent who voted for Trump in 2020. "I don't think him or [President] Biden can unite this country."
Trump has continued to be heavily unpopular outside of his base, raising questions about the strength of a Trump 2024 candidacy. People who live in large cities and suburban women continue to be two of the groups most opposed to Trump, while white evangelical Christians, whites without college degrees and those in rural areas are most supportive.
Loading...
"I definitely don't want him to run, because he will split the Republican Party and give the vote to the Democrats," said Greg Cox, 54, of New Haven, Mo., another independent who voted for Trump in 2020.
Overall, 61% of survey respondents said they don't want Trump to run again, largely unchanged from just after the 2020 election that Trump lost. A lot has transpired since then, and it shows just how locked in Americans' views are of Trump.
In fact, when respondents were asked if they would want Trump to run again, even if he is charged with a crime, the percentage saying no only increased marginally to 65%. That's within the margin of error.
Republicans looked like they were starting to pull away from Trump, but since the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, his Florida home, for classified materials, they have reconsolidated around him.
When it comes to the FBI search, a plurality (44%) of respondents said they think Trump did something illegal. Another 17% think he did something unethical, but not illegal. Nearly 30% maintain he did nothing wrong, including 63% of Republicans.
Two-thirds of Republicans said they want Trump to run again, and a whopping 61% of them said they still want him to run even if he's charged with a crime.
Trump is using the FBI search as a rallying cry, calling it an "egregious abuse of the law." That's despite the FBI obtaining a legal search warrant. The Justice Department has said that it began investigating after a referral from the National Archives about classified material being mixed in with other material it received from Trump.
The FBI said it had evidence that Trump's team did not turn over all the documents it was asked for — and the search bore that out. An inventory of the search of Trump's home found dozens of boxes of documents, including some marked with the highest, most sensitive classifications.
On Monday, Trump was granted the right to a "special master" to separate out materials that have attorney-client privilege and even potentially material that could be argued to have "executive privilege," even though Trump is no longer president.
"We're going to take back America," Trump said at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Saturday, where he lambasted the FBI search. "And in 2024, most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent White House."
But Trump's base alone proved not to be enough in 2020, and likely wouldn't be in 2024, either.
Biden has also struggled with independents, who have largely disapproved of the job he has done so far, so they will be a major question mark and potentially hold the key to a 2024 presidential election, if it is a Biden-Trump rematch.
Helms, for example, said he would vote for Trump over Biden if Trump does run again, but not happily.
Cox said he would "absolutely not" vote for Trump again if there's a next time around, but he emphatically said he is not open to voting for Biden, either.
"Maybe I'd vote Libertarian," Cox said.
Methodology
The survey of 1,236 adults was conducted Aug. 29 through Sept. 1. It has a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points, meaning results could be 4 points higher or lower than what is shown. There are 1,151 registered voters surveyed with a margin of error of +/- 4.3 percentage points.

HONOLULU (AP) — The founder of the Hawaii chapter of the far-right extremist group the Proud Boys intends to plea guilty to charges related to January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Nichola Ochs entered an agreement with federal prosecutors in which he will plea guilty to obstructing an official proceeding, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported, and the government will drop another dozen charges against him and an alleged accomplice.
Ochs, 34, was arrested in Hawaii the day after the mob he was part of entered the Capitol following former President Joe Biden's win over Donald Trump. Ochs posted a photo of himself on Twitter inside the Capitol, grinning and smoking a cigarette.
Trump had urged the neofascist group to “stand back and stand by” when asked to condemn them by a moderator during a presidential debate in 2020.
The dropped charges will include theft, destruction of government property, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building and conspiracy.
Ochs was the Republican Party’s candidate to represent Waikiki in the state House of Representatives in the November 2020 election. Ochs lost to Democrat Adrian Tam after winning nearly 30 percent of the vote.
A plea hearing is scheduled for Friday.

E-Cite Motors in "Celebrity Row' at the SEMA Show with Booth Promoting New Affordable EV Sports Car.
VaporBrands International, Inc. (OTCMKTS:VAPR)
BOTHELL, WA, UNITED STATES, September 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BOTHELL, WA, September 7, 2022, VaporBrands International, Inc. dba E-Cite Motors Group, (OTC PINK:VAPR) announces that it has been given premier placement for its booth for a special exhibit at the SEMA show Nov. 1 – 4, 2022.
The booth (number 10225) is located on the main level in the North Hall in "Celebrity Row" directly between the “SEMA Battle of the Builders”, the “Chip Foose Experience”, and Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
The location is in the media hub of the show amongst the most popular and most covered exhibits highlighting the SEMA show. In 2021 the Chip Foose Experience featured the largest gathering of Chip Foose vehicles ever assembled and is always a primary must see destination for attendees.
The SEMA Battle of the Builders competition is widely known as one of the elite platforms for builders to showcase their work and compete for the coveted top honor. Historically the Battle of the builders has been a featured television show on the History Channel. The show has been hosted by Adrienne “AJ” Janic and Tanner Foust profiling the Top Twelve finalist from the competition.
As both exhibits are primary features of The SEMA Show the area has become known as “Celebrity Row” attracting the most well known “Car Guys” in the world.
https://www.expocad.com/host/fx/sema/sema22/exfx.html?event=north
The special interactive exhibit will be in E-Cites booth on the main floor as an attraction providing attendees and media in depth details, ordering options, and experience with E-Cites EV GT. E-Cite also plans on making significant announcements and updates so that anyone who is not allowed to or otherwise unable to attend will have access to the same information as those that attend.
COO Gene Langmesser stated: “We are looking forward to sharing the experience with our colleges in the industry and the media. We want to give specific recognition and thanks to the team at SEMA for welcoming us in and providing us with such a primary and visible location.”
Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) of the automobile aftermarket was formed in 1963 and now consists of 6,384 companies worldwide, bringing together aftermarket manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), media, car dealers, specialty equipment distributors, installers, retailers, and restoration specialists.
SEMA also provides services for employees of its member companies that include education and professional development, market research, legislative and regulatory advocacy, industry publications, international business development and business-to-business events.
The largest of the SEMA events held annually during the first week of November is the SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, in conjunction with the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week. This auto show is not open to the public. Registration as media, manufacturer, buyer, or exhibitor is required.
Unlike competitors Tesla, Nikola, Polestar, Lucid, VW, Ford, Jaguar, and others, E-cite is not required to meet any of the safety or other costly certifications of a traditional auto manufacturer making the ease and timeline of offering new vehicles to market significantly more favorable. Whereas the initial timeline to be able to deliver a production vehicle to market generally exceeds 3 years and often longer at a very high cost, E-Cite expects to be delivering its first production vehicles for the 2023 model year. That is less than 12 months from inception to the showroom.
This is possible because E-Cite’s vehicles qualify under the "Low Volume Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015." In 2015, Congress enacted a bill into law directing the NHSTA to establish a program allowing low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to produce a limited number of vehicles annually within a regulatory system that addresses the unique safety and financial issues associated with limited production, and to direct the EPA to allow low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to install engines from vehicles that have been issued certificates of conformity.
E-Cite Motors has developed designs that allow the production of vehicles utilizing a revolutionary modular chassis that uses electric motors. This allows for configurations ranging from low powered batteries and only a single motor on up to a high-powered 1000+hp performance vehicle utilizing AWD and 4 motors.
Note* E-Cite’s vehicles are in no way categorized as "Kit Cars" as they are manufactured new vehicles.
About VaporBrands International, dba E-Cite Motors:
www.ecitemotors.com (OTC PINK:VAPR) is a publicly traded company based in Bothell that is developing for manufacturing, state of the art electric vehicles utilizing the latest in technologies with a flare of some of the iconic autos of the past.

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

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

I’m going to lead this one off with one thing and one thing alone. There’s an excuse for a number of things that happened to the Syracuse Orange offensive line on Saturday. Accounting for about 80+ percent of the 107 penalty yards that the Orange racked up on the day is not one of those things. I’m sure Mike Schmidt is giving the entire unit a talking to. Every lineman that wasn’t named Matthew Bergeron had at least a false start on the day. That in itself is hard to fathom, and I can chalk some of that up to the scheme change and the feel for cadence against live personnel. Hell, even Coach Dino Babers insinuated in his press conference that there was some shady dealings from the Louisville defensive line (most likely call mimicking by what Dino mentioned). But even with all those things, that was a rough look at it.
Alright, now that we’ve got that out of the way, full disclaimer, I’m not doing my usual full breakdown on account of... I have a five year old and he’s going to kindergarten, so you all don’t get a full rewatch and chart because I want to cry watching him get on the bus... Your regularly scheduled programming will (may) return next week.
However, I was in the press box for it (not a great vantage point for line work) and I have re-watched at least the condensed footage. Thankfully they cut the penalties from that, as I saw enough on Saturday while seeing it live. Obligatory call for an All-22 if anyone has access to it, we can pay you fully in Nunesbucks.
I can say with full confidence that the line looked, in general, better than it has the last two years via the eye test. That said, that’s not a huge ask, since those lines were decimated with injury and didn’t look that great. The chemistry seemed solid and the only real breakdowns were 1v1 issues in pass protection and scheme/assignment issues in the run game. It’s said that the biggest gains are had between your first and second game. Let’s see if that’s going to happen with the line. If it does, the Orange are going bowling. Mark my words.
In live play there were some more nits to pick...
On Tucker’s first touchdown screen, Chris Bleich is heading out as a lead blocker on the screen, releasing his man, but the one he’s responsible for picking up just sprints past him and gets a hand on Tucker after only a nominal gain. Thankfully Sean Tucker is not one to go down on first contact. I’m sure there’s a stat to support that, since he’s rarely if ever gone down as such, but the screen blocking in general could use a bit of a scrub. At one point in the first half, a designed WR screen was blown up by Bleich not even punching to delay the guy in front of him and then subsequently whiffing on the open field block.
Dakota Davis didn’t look entirely comfortable in the tackle spot for pass pro, but part of that was because he was matched up on Yasir Abdullah all day, which is a tough task on anyone. Abdullah is one of the best edge rushers in the league and will be giving teams fits all season.
There were numerous times that Shrader got a little 2020 happy feet going, but it was significantly less than a year ago. I often wonder if he feels a little too much from tackle pressure. Bergeron tends to be a big ride blocker, getting his hand on the hip and running him past the pocket. This could create an issue blindside if Shrader’s feeling that as pressure instead of trusting his tackle.
Overall, PFF seemed to have it pretty right this week. For run blocking, a slightly over the Mendoza line performance for most of the line, with some glaring exceptions. Kalan Ellis led the way with a 64.3, followed closely by Vettorello, Bergeron and Bleich. However, Davis came in just under the mark with a 59.4. This is a far cry from 2021 Syracuse, where in their first P5 game (Rutgers) they had one lineman (Bleich) above that rating and all four more than four below it. I think they did a solid job of working with what they could for Tucker to do Tucker things and that played out in the stats for rushing.
Pass blocking however, Bergeron came in at a 67.3 and the rest of the squad was below the Mendoza, with Bleich ‘leading’ the pack at a 43.2 on the day. This does beat his 30.1 from last season against Rutgers or Tisdale’s 4.0 from that game, but could use a bit of work. We’ll see if this week can get a bit of pep back in the step of some of these and we won’t see a pass rush like this until the Clemson game, which will be significantly better. In general though, working through a few of these quirks and getting the penalties under control, I think this line could be quite functional for the Orange this season.

Rosario Dawson got unexpectedly emotional at the Clerks III premiere
- Movie
Rosario Dawson had read the script for Clerks III, and then reprised her role of Becky under the guidance of writer-director Kevin Smith for the film shoot in New Jersey — but the actress admits she was still taken aback by the emotions she felt when watching the comedy threequel at the movie's premiere last month.
"Crying at the premiere was not my expectation, but there I was," says the actress. "I hadn't seen it yet, so it was my first time watching it, and it's always nerve-racking to watch the film on the day, in the room, but it was just really beautiful and powerful and joyous and funny and just really great. It was great to be back with these characters again and see them evolve or not, you know, over the years."
In the film, Jeff Anderson's wise-cracking convenience store co-owner Randal suffers a heart attack and sets about making a Clerks-style film about his life. The script for Clerks III was directly inspired by the 'widow-maker' cardiac event Smith suffered in 2018.
"I wanted to tell my heart attack story with my characters," the filmmaker told EW earlier this year. "So Randal, the video-store guy, has a massive heart attack. While he recovers, he laments that he's wasted his life watching movies and never thought about making one himself. Randal and Dante (Brian O'Halloran) essentially make their own version of Clerks, a black-and-white movie called Inconvenience. It's incredibly meta."
"I was thinking about how he's really taking us along on the journey with him," says Dawson of Smith. "When we filmed Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, it was a year after his widow-maker heart attack. And so, we've all been really aware of that and, [him] going vegan and losing all this weight and working with his daughter (Harley Quinn Smith) and all of this. It was not surprising to see him bring that storyline to these characters, and bring them along on the journey as well, because it just adds such a layer. I think these characters have earned getting there. It's just a perfect encapsulation of both of those films, and the journey along the way, and the transition that comes with life if you're lucky enough to live it."
Clerks III will play in select cinemas Sept. 13-18. Smith will tour with the film in select markets in September and October.

The iPhone 14 is here and let’s be honest, it’s pretty underwhelming, isn’t it? I mean by this point, you’re better off waiting for the iPhone 15.
That’s not to say it’s a bad phone, but with a glimpse at the future of the standard iPhone being offered by the iPhone 14 Pro, there are plenty of reasons why the iPhone 14 feels like a stop gap before the iPhone 15 you should actually buy.
Why you should skip the iPhone 14
Put simply, the changes made here are just not worth it. But let’s go into more detail.
The iPhone 14 offers an identical design to what Apple has used for its main line of phones for the past two years, the same cameras (except for a wider aperture on the main camera, similar to iPhone 13 Pro), the same display and a minor upgrade to the existing A15 Bionic processor.
These elements all combine to make what will be a strong phone. iPhones are almost always great smartphones — that much is obvious, but it’s not the point I’m making. My argument is based on looking to the future and looking more specifically at what the iPhone 14 Pro has to offer.
With its updated cameras, refreshed design (specifically the move from a notch to a pill/punch hole atop the display), the A16 Bionic chip and that smoother display refresh rate,
But as we’ve seen in previous features, things that are introduced in Pro phones eventually trickle down to the standard phones, such as Sensor Shift optical image stabilization making the jump from the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 13.
With that in mind, I’m pretty confident that we’ll see a refreshed aesthetic language in the iPhone 15 and some other features like a 120Hz refresh rate display. Some may say that’s not important to most consumers, but when you see just how many cheaper Android phones benefit from this, it’s starting to become an unacceptable omission.
Outlook
The writing was always on the wall about this happening — rumors flew about the iPhone 14’s progress being stifled for all kinds of reasons, from keeping the price down due to inflation, to making the iPhone 14 Pro seem more worthwhile.
The iPhone 14 is not a bad phone, but it feels like a half-hearted entry into the lineup, given its very minor upgrades. To say this is an “S” entry into the lineup would be a bit of an understatement, which means one thing: bigger upgrades for next year.
So sure. If your heart is set or your upgrade cycle has arrived, the iPhone 14 is a good phone with some good deals (opens in new tab). But this phone does have a whiff of being a stop gap before some real updates in next year’s iPhone 15.

Former President, John Dramani Mahama has held discussions with the US Ambassador to Ghana, HE Virginia E. Palmer.
During the engagement, the former President informed the US Ambassador that Ghana’s economic woes have been exacerbated because of the missteps of President Akufo-Addo's government.
He further told the US Ambassador that he is optimistic things will change when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) finally agrees to a programme for the country.
“Ghana’s economic woes, I explained, have been compounded by the missteps of the government, poor economic decisions, the collapse of indigenous banks and finance institutions instead of saving them, corruption, and the misappropriation of COVID-19 funds, which were shared to party officials,” Mahama has said in a post on his Facebook page after the meeting with HE Virginia E. Palmer.
The former Ghana President added, “I also expressed confidence that following the IMF programme, there would be more discipline in government’s handling of the economy.
“Confidence will only be restored when people know that we are in a programme and that the government will not behave as recklessly as it did in the past.”
Among other things, John Dramani Mahama and HE Virginia E. Palmer discussed the state of security in the West African subregion and its implications for Ghana, investment in local industries, and the hostility of the Electoral Commission towards the NDC.

Noticing more wasps in Ontario? Here's why
If you’ve noticed more wasps than usual lately, or that the wasps you encounter seem more aggressive, there's a reason.
It’s wasp season in Ontario, and University of Toronto entomologist Dr. Daryl Gwynne said, while there’s no indication of more wasps this year over others, the late summer and fall seasons are when “worker” wasps tend to be most active.
“They're out foraging and hunting for meat to bring back to the hive’s larvae, and … they also need sugary stuff for fuel themselves,” Gwynne said in an interview with CTV News Toronto Wednesday.
Gywnne called this time of year “the perfect storm” for wasp activity, but underlined the insects are just trying to survive and likely aren’t looking to sting humans.
“The stinger is mainly to defend the hive. They're not out to sting you, but they will [sting] if they feel trapped by your hands,” he said.
“You can shoo them, but don't constrain them with your hands because you will get stung.”
Dr. Rosalind Murray, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Toronto, told CTV News Toronto that, while the “hungry, grumpy” wasps’ behaviour might seem more aggressive to us, they’re important pollinators, and people should do their best to avoid killing them.
“I know they're not as cute and cuddly as a bumblebee,” Murray said. “But these are important pollinators, not just mean, stinging things.”
“Obviously, if you need to remove a nest due to its proximity to humans, that’s one thing, but if you come across a single wasp, try not to kill it.”
WHAT TO DO IF YOU’RE STUNG BY A WASP
Gwynne notes, unlike honeybees, wasps do not lodge their stinger within their victims.
While many stings do not need medical attention, they can cause serious issues for those who are allergic.
“I have been stung many times having studied wasps and I haven’t done anything,” Gwynne said. "The worry would be those who have anaphylactic shock of course."
If you are stung and began to experience swelling that moves to other parts of the body, especially the face or neck, difficulty breathing, and/or dizziness or a drop in blood pressure, the Ministry of Health advises seeking immediate medical attention.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Just in time for the statistical peak of hurricane season, activity in the tropics is really starting to heat up, with two hurricanes and two disturbances being monitored in the Atlantic.
Hurricane Danielle and Hurricane Earl are still churning over the Atlantic Ocean, with Earl expected to become the first major hurricane of the year soon. The National Hurricane Center is also keeping an eye on two new disturbances that could form in the coming days.
Hurricane Danielle
According to the NHC, Danielle is still a “large hurricane” over the far north Atlantic. The storm is holding on to Category 1 hurricane strength with 80 mph maximum sustained winds as of 11 a.m. ET Wednesday. The NHC said Danielle is expected to start weakening later Wednesday and become a post-tropical cyclone by Thursday.
Danielle is out over open water, several hundred miles northwest of the Azores. It does not pose any threat to land, according to the NHC.
Hurricane Earl
As of 11 a.m. Wednesday, Earl is a Category 1 hurricane with 85 mph maximum sustained winds. According to the NHC, Earl is expected to strengthen in the coming days and become a major hurricane on Thursday. It would be the first major hurricane of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season.
Hurricane Earl is about 460 miles south of Bermuda and moving north at 8 mph. The NHC said the storm is forecast to keep moving north and then turn toward the northeast.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for Bermuda, despite the storm track showing Earl pass to the southeast of the island. The NHC said tropical-storm-force winds are expected to spread across the island Thursday and Friday.
Earl is also expected to bring dangerous surf and rip current conditions to the east coast of the United States.
“Swells generated by Earl are expected to reach Bermuda by [Wednesday night] and the U.S. East Coast shortly thereafter,” the NHC said. “These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions through the weekend.”
Invest 95L
The NHC is also monitoring an area of low pressure, deemed Invest 95L, that’s producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands.
According to a tropical weather outlook, conditions look favorable for some development of Invest 95L in the coming days. The NHC said a tropical depression could form as the disturbance moves west over the Atlantic. It’s then expected to run into upper-level winds that are less favorable for development.
The NHC has given Invest 95L a medium 60 percent chance of formation.
Tropical wave
A tropical wave expected to move off the coast of Africa later this week is also being watched by the NHC.
Forecasters said conditions appear favorable for some slow development as the wave moves across the Atlantic.
The NHC has given the wave a low, near zero percent chance of formation through the next 48 hours and a low 30 percent chance of formation through the next five days.
Peak hurricane season
The statistical peak of hurricane season is this weekend, on Sept. 10. Roughly two-thirds of all tropical systems in the Atlantic basin form in August or September.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Maryland man has been charged with making an online threat to kill a member of Congress from Texas, according to a court filing unsealed Wednesday.
Justin Kuchta, 39, of Annapolis, is charged with one count of interstate communication containing a threat to injure, a felony punishable by a maximum of five years in prison.
Kuchta was expected to make his initial court appearance in Baltimore on Wednesday after surrendering to authorities earlier in the day.
“You have the right to your own opinions, but not the right to threaten a federal official’s life,” U.S. Attorney Erek Barron said in a statement.
A court filing does not name the member of Congress whom Kuchta is accused of threatening in a message that said the lawmaker “will be the first on the gallows.” A staff member from the member's district office in Texas reported the threat to police in July.
The Internet Protocol address used to send the message was registered to a private, high-speed network operated by the state of Maryland, according to a U.S. Capitol Police special agent's affidavit. When agents interviewed Kuchta at his Annapolis workplace, he admitted to sending the threatening message while he was working from home on his government-issued computer, the affidavit says.
The court filing does not identify Kuchta's government employer.

A $155,000 Tesla Model S Plaid was totaled several days after the owner dropped the vehicle off for a Service appointment. Now, the owner is attempting to find answers.
After dropping his Model S Plaid with only a few thousand miles off at the Plano, Texas Tesla Service Center on Wednesday, August 24, owner Jeff said he received a call on Tuesday, August 30, from an employee. “We have some bad news,” Jeff heard over the phone. “Your car was totaled.”
“I thought it was a joke,” Jeff told Teslarati in an interview. “I found out very soon it was not a joke.”
After arriving at the Service Center the next day, on Wednesday, August 31, Jeff found his black Model S Plaid in the parking lot. The rear passenger door smashed in, and visibility into the vehicle was limited due to many airbags in the car being deployed. The vehicle had been t-boned by another car traveling just two blocks from the Service Center, located at 5800 Democracy Drive in Plano. The repair had already been completed and an employee was driving the vehicle around to ensure it was completed properly.
However, the driver of the Model S Plaid, a 31-year-old employee of the Plano Service Center, failed to yield the right of way at a stop sign and was hit by another car. The Model S Plaid was totaled in the accident.
Initially, Jeff was interested in receiving a new car, of course, and there happened to be an exact match of what his Plaid Model S once was at another showroom in the State. He was offered that vehicle on Wednesday, but by Thursday, that had changed. Tesla said they would likely go through insurance, meaning it would take nearly three weeks to get Jeff his vehicle.
The Legalities of the Situation
Teslarati spoke to insurance experts and liability attorneys, who told us the situation in which the vehicle was totaled and determining liability is what truly matters. The fact that this is a customer’s car and an employee crashed it is irrelevant until liability is determined.
We obtained the police report through the City of Plano, which revealed the employee at the Tesla Service Center was at fault. Jeff also told us that when he spoke to the employee driving the vehicle at the time of the accident, they admitted that the accident was his fault.
The report states that the driver of the Model S was officially charged with Failure to Yield the Right of Way at a Stop Sign. The investigating officer describes the accident in the report:
“UNIT 1 WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN IN LANE 2 E/B DEMOCRACY DRIVE FOR PARKWOOD BLVD. UNIT 1 THEN PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. UNIT 2 WAS N/B PARKWOOD BLVD IN THE RIGHT LANE. DUE TO UNIT 1 FAILING TO YIELD RIGHT OF WAY AT A STOP SIGN TO UNIT 2, THE FRONT END OF UNIT 2 STRUCK THE RIGHT BACK QUARTER OF UNIT 1.”
The report, obtained by Teslarati, shows there was a second occupant in the Tesla at the time of the crash. The driver is 33. The passenger is 31. Additionally, the Audi A5 that collided with the Tesla was being driven by a 62-year-old who was taken to Plano Presbyterian Hospital.
What’s Next
Tesla has been tight-lipped to Jeff, saying they would be in touch with him regarding the accident within the next three weeks. Tesla may have been attempting to determine liability as its employee who was driving the vehicle may not necessarily be responsible for the accident, especially considering he was t-boned while navigating through an intersection. However, the report filed by the investigating officer determined that the driver of the Tesla was at fault, and the fact that the employee also expressed to Jeff that the accident was his fault would eliminate Tesla’s need to determine this.
Jeff said Tesla has not offered a loaner or a formal replacement vehicle currently, which makes his situation much more complicated. Teslarati reported last month that Tesla had abolished its policy of offering loaners and Uber credits for some service appointments. However, Jeff’s vehicle is totaled, he is without a replacement, and the accident did not happen while he was driving the car, or even in possession of the Model S Plaid.
As of Tuesday, September 6, Tesla has yet to contact Jeff regarding the accident or any information on a replacement vehicle.

Gift is largest in University history
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomas R. Kline, one of the nation's most influential and highly regarded trial lawyers, has committed $50 million to provide transformational support to Duquesne's 111-year-old law school. Duquesne University President Ken Gormley announced that the Pittsburgh university will recognize the gift by naming its law school the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University.
In a dramatic celebration on Wednesday, Sept. 7, students, faculty, distinguished alumni and a host of dignitaries gathered for the unveiling of a sign bearing the school's new name, and a celebration of this historic announcement.
Kline's commitment will broadly support student scholarships, faculty grants for excellence in teaching and scholarship, the law school's noted Bar Preparation program, new clinical offerings that benefit the community and other strategic priorities. Mr. Kline has given the University wide latitude in how best to invest the resources to maximize their benefits for students and the institution.
"It is enormously meaningful for Duquesne to have our law school named for an individual whose career success is synonymous with excellence in the legal profession," said Gormley, who formerly served as dean of the law school. "We are grateful that Tom Kline has chosen to support his alma mater with such a transformational gift, recognizing the many contributions to society and the profession that our students and alumni have made for more than a century. We're proud that one of our most distinguished alumni, who has represented Duquesne so impressively on a national and global stage, will now help shape the next century of our renowned law school. This gift will benefit generations of students, graduates and members of society on a broad scale."
Kline's gift constitutes the single largest commitment to Duquesne in its 144-year history. Kline already held the distinction of being the largest donor to the law school, with a $7.5 million gift in 2017 to launch the Thomas R. Kline Center for Judicial Education, which assists the courts in providing continuing judicial education to judges across the Commonwealth.
"I have long been proud of my alma mater and have been happy to have played a role in strengthening its future," said Kline. "President Ken Gormley and Dean April Barton have immediate plans to empower students and faculty to lead. Their work will have a magnificent impact on students, the region and the profession itself. I share their goals and ambitions for the law school."
A champion of legal education, Kline is acknowledged to be one of America's most respected and influential lawyers. He is a founding partner of Kline & Specter, described by The Philadelphia Inquirer as "one of the nation's leading personal injury firms. The National Law Journal has listed Kline among "Ten of America's Top Litigators." His groundbreaking cases have helped shape the law and have resulted in corporate, institutional and governmental change and justice for his clients.
Kline has been selected every year as the #1-ranked attorney among 65,000 active Pennsylvania lawyers by the publication Super Lawyers since its inception in 2004. Lawdragon lists Kline as one of the top 500 lawyers among 1.3 million active lawyers in America. He is the past president of the Inner Circle of Advocates, which The Washington Post described as "a select group of 100 of the nation's most celebrated trial lawyers."
Kline achieved many landmark jury verdicts dating back to the 1980s with seven- and eight-figure jury verdicts in each of five decades. Recent accomplishments include his groundbreaking jury verdicts in the Johnson & Johnson/Risperdal litigation, winning an $8 billion verdict for his clients, and his leadership as Chair of the Plaintiffs Management Committee, which achieved the historic Amtrak 188 settlement. Kline's advocacy in the Penn State/Sandusky litigation and the Piazza fraternity hazing case have likewise gained national attention.
A graduate and recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award at Albright College, Kline earned his M.A. from Lehigh University and his J.D. from Duquesne University School of Law in 1978, where he received the Distinguished Student Award and later earned the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2008. He is also an inductee into the Century Club of distinguished alumni at Duquesne University.
After completing law school, Kline clerked for Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Pomeroy. He later served four U.S. senators over two decades, including chairing the Federal Judicial Nominating Commission for the Federal Courts in Pennsylvania for more than a decade.
The Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Drexel University was named for him in 2014, along with the Thomas R. Kline Institute for Trial Advocacy. The Thomas R. Kline Center for Judicial Education, the first of its kind in the nation, was launched at Duquesne University during the 2017-2018 academic year.
In naming the law school at Duquesne, Kline is energizing his alma mater on new fronts: This is the first school to be named at Duquesne University in over three decades.
"Working with Tom Kline has been an inspiration and absolute joy," said law school Dean April Barton. "He is an exemplary embodiment of our distinct mission. He understands the history and value of Duquesne's commitment to educational access and our focus on the law as a tool to ensure the welfare of all people. This is an extraordinary moment for Duquesne, certainly, as well as for the entire legal community. Linking Tom Kline and Duquesne permanently in the name of the law school will empower future lawyers for generations to come."
Since its founding in 1911, Duquesne's law school has focused on providing a legal education firmly rooted in the pursuit of excellence and the highest standards of ethical conduct. Its graduates serve others through skillful representation premised upon integrity and a commitment to attaining justice and fairness for all seeking redress through the legal system.
The School educates lawyers inspired by Duquesne's Catholic Spiritan tradition and the Law School motto, Salus populi suprema lex, or "The welfare of the people is the highest law."
Formed as an evening program to give working families in the Pittsburgh area (including recent immigrants) access to a legal education. More than a century later the School remains dedicated to that ideal and offers a full-time day program in addition to its evening program. The School is known for consistently impressive bar passage results and employment outcomes.
Duquesne's law school welcomed women and underrepresented populations earlier than most institutions. The first woman, Mrs. M. Murphy, was admitted in 1914. The first Black graduate, Theron B. Hamilton, received his in degree in 1925. From 1970 to 1981, Dean Ronald Davenport served as one of the first Black deans of any law school in the U.S.
A clinical education program was officially launched in 1995. The Tribone Center for Clinical Legal Education opened on Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh in 2013 to provide student attorneys hands-on client experiences that impact a host of needy clients and underserved communities. In 2017, the Thomas R. Kline Center for Judicial Education opened, partnering with the courts to provide first-rate continuing judicial education offered to more than 1,000 jurists in Pennsylvania.
Now, with the naming of the Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Duquesne University in 2022, a new era of success and excellence will be ushered in at this highly-respected institution.
Founded in 1878, Duquesne is consistently ranked among the nation's top Catholic universities for its award-winning faculty and horizon-expanding education. A campus of nearly 8,500 graduate and undergraduate students, Duquesne prepares students by having them work alongside faculty to discover and reach their goals. The University's academic programs, community service, and commitment to equity and opportunity in the Pittsburgh region have earned national acclaim.

MINERAL WELLS — It’s time to play.
“Oh, we always like to have fun,” Misty Nix said, standing next to partner Shawn Brown inside their newest offering inside the Crazy Water Hotel Pavilion, Toytopia. “It’s a toy store.”
Nearby, store manager Elizabeth Stafford was having fun, overseeing Toytopia and its shelves of eye-grabbing, often educational, games and puzzles, friendly stuffed figures and fanciful costumes.
She’s not at the register for all of the store hours, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays — but she wouldn’t mind it.
“It goes by quick, and nice and fun,” the young manager declared.
Brown and Nix say that’s exactly what they wanted when they christened their newest retail shop below the sky windows in the cavernous, reclaimed hotel mall.
“We try to bring back stuff that, when you walk in, you go, ‘aahhh, I had that when I was little,’” Brown said. “We wanted things that jogged your memory. … We wanted that magic back. We want these kids to just come in and go, ‘Wow.’”
A mix of classic toys, like the 60s classic, Spirograph, line the shop’s shelves and walls alongside more recent innovations like STEM kits each exploring the properties of gel, an egg.
“This is all used with household items or whatever is provided in there,” Brown said, as her partner noted the box recommendation for ages 8-99.
“If you’re 100, you’re too old for it,” Nix quipped, passing a display of half-sized fishing rods kids can cast. “They are tangle-free, they do not tangle.”
Costumes for a princess, an astronaut, even a dinosaur should add fun to any kid’s Halloween.
Wooden Hape train sets connect cars with magnets. Puzzles based on four- or five-letter words introduce young minds to reading, such as b-e-a-r, with a letter on each of four pieces which also combine in a picture of the bear.
“It’s a creative store,” Nix said. “We want kids to be creative and use their imaginations — be active.”
And visitors can easily catch themselves staring at the six-foot tall Ferris wheel as it goes round and round below an elevated train on a track that circles inside and outside in the pavilion.
“Everywhere we go, we find the best toy store,” Brown said. “We’ve been in toy stores and been like, we like this one but don’t like this piece of it.”
Relaxing a moment at the Crazy Coffee & Water Bar, the pair reflected on their ongoing retail project. A year-round Christmas Magic store should open on Sept. 15, and The Uptown Man will make every Ram look sharp by Oct. 1.
It all began down the street in 2018, when Nix and her husband, Randy, opened The Market at 76067 and Coffee & Cocktails. That’s when Brown and her husband, Bobby, arrived.
“People thought we were crazy for going to Mineral Wells,” Brown said. “I said, No. There was a vibe, or something, going on.”
Nix explained.
“We are bringing the experience,” Nix said. “Our goal is to bring people to Mineral Wells, and I feel like we’ve succeeded.”

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has back-to-back films lined up ahead of him. Starting with Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra which would be released on September 9, the actor would also feature in Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai with a star-studded cast. However, the veteran actor is also gearing up for Vikas Bahl’s Goodbye, the trailer of which was released yesterday. At the trailer launch, Big B reflected upon his magnificent journey in the entertainment industry. He also shared how he dealt with his father’s loss.
During the press conference organised for the trailer launch, the Sholay actor gave penultimate credit to writers, producers and directors who repose their trust in him and envision him for a role. He shared, “The credit for this has to go to producers, writers and directors who conceive a concept with me in lead. They conceive, they decide and are just puppets. We do what the writer has written and what directors ask us to do. For me, it’s an honour and privilege that they are able to give something different and new to me."

While the actor’s upcoming flick ‘Goodbye’ revolves around the demise of a cherished family member, Amitabh Bachchan who has always regarded his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan as his role model spoke about coping with his father’s loss. He stated, “I performed my father’s last rites and sat in my room. I was upset. A friend, who was sitting with me, said that I should be happy that I spent 60 years of my life with my father. He then said that he was able to spend only 25. This helped me realise the importance of elders."
At the age of 79, Amitabh Bachchan has managed to enthral the audience with his immaculate acting. Following the trajectory, the actor also expressed his views on starring in back-to-back films. He shared, “It is not a new thing. In our time, four films would release in a month, and every Friday we would have a new film. Also, due to Covid-19 and the lockdown for two years, there was a lot of delay because of which a lot of films are now coming together. I hope people will watch this film and love it. I hope people get a chance to watch it in theatres and on OTT too."
The Vikas Bahl directorial Goodbye would feature an assorted star cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika Mandanna, Neena Gupta, Sunil Grover, Pavail Gulati, Elli AvrRam, Sahil Mehta and Shivin Narang. It would tell a heart-warming story about life, family and relationships. The slice-of-life film is scheduled for a worldwide release on October 7, 2022.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A building collapsed in Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Wednesday, killing at least 11 people, including three children, the Syrian state television reported.
The TV said the illegally built, five-story building in Aleppo's southern neighborhood of Fardous collapsed in the evening. It said seven women, three children and an elderly man were killed.
The report also said two people were injured and seven nearby buildings were evacuated for fear they might collapse as well. Search operations were still ongoing amid the rubble in case more people might be buried under the debris.
State news agency, SANA, quoted the head of the Aleppo city council, Muid Madlaji, as saying that the building was illegally built and had weak foundations. He added that the area suffered wide damage during the war.
Fardous was a rebel-held neighborhood until December 2016, when government forces with the help of Russia and Iran captured eastern parts of the city, which had been held by insurgents for four years.
Many buildings in Aleppo were completely destroyed or damaged during Syria's 11-year conflict, which has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced half the country's pre-war population of 23 million.
Aleppo is Syria's largest city and was once its commercial center.

A news anchor had stroke symptoms on air. Her colleagues jumped into action.
Julie Chin, an anchor with the Tulsa, Oklahoma, NBC affiliate KJRH, thanked her colleagues for helping her get medical attention immediately and said she was recovering.
Julie Chin, a television news anchor in Oklahoma, was telling viewers about a local event connected to the now-scrubbed launch of the Artemis I rocket over the weekend when, all of a sudden, she was struggling to speak.
“I’m sorry,” Chin said after stumbling over her words. “Something is going on with me this morning, and I apologize to everybody.”
Fortunately her co-workers recognized that Chin was suffering a medical emergency and immediately called 911. Their swift actions turned out to be critical as the TV anchor experienced what doctors later said were most likely “the beginnings of a stroke,” according to a Facebook post by Chin.
“If you were watching Saturday morning, you know how desperately I tried to steer the show forward,’’ she said in the post, “but the words just wouldn’t come.”
Each year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke, which means that someone experiences one about every 40 seconds and someone dies from one about every 3 1/2 minutes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Strokes are most prominent among older people, but data from 2014 showed that at least 38% of people hospitalized for stroke were younger than 65.
Chin, an anchor for KJRH, the NBC affiliate in Tulsa, said that as she worked to have the cameras cut away from her and to the station’s meteorologist instead, she experienced sudden partial vision loss and numbness in her arm and hand — which are two key symptoms of a stroke. She said she had been feeling “great” before the show.
Dr. Neil Schwartz, director of the Young Stroke Program at the Stanford Stroke Center, said in an interview that Chin might have experienced a transient ischemic attack, which can mimic a stroke. With the TIA, as it is called, the blood flow is restored to the brain more quickly, often preventing the kind of brain injury that could occur from a stroke. It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly how many people are diagnosed with TIA each year, Schwartz said, because there is no definitive test for it.
“We consider TIA a medical emergency just like we would in a stroke,” Schwartz said. “It gives doctors the possibility of intervening before somebody would actually develop a stroke.”
He applauded Chin for seeking medical help as quickly as she did. With a stroke, Schwartz said, there is a strict time window for certain treatments.
“When people have strokelike symptoms, we don’t want them to go back to sleep or wait until Monday to tell their doctor,” he said. “It’s better to err on the side of caution.”
Symptoms of a stroke can include having trouble speaking, having a headache or even having trouble with balance and walking. If a person’s face is drooping and they are unable to smile or can’t lift their arms, medical attention should be sought immediately.
Experts often use the acronym “BEFAST” to remind people of what symptoms to look for: a loss of balance, eyesight changes, facial drooping, arm weakness and slurred speech, with the final component, time, meaning to call 911 quickly.
Chin is not the first person to experience stroke symptoms on television. In 2011, Serene Branson, a Los Angeles CBS reporter, started slurring her words and struggled to talk, and many suggested she might have had a stroke. She was ultimately diagnosed with a “migraine with aura,” which can present like a stroke.
KJRH said in a statement on Facebook that numerous viewers had called and emailed to check on Chin and that the station was happy to share that she was feeling OK.
“We’re wishing her the best on her road to recovery and well-deserved rest,” the station said.
Chin said she would undergo testing to try to get more answers but was looking forward to returning to the anchor desk.
“In a few days, I’ll be back at the desk sharing the stories I love with the community I love,” she said. “Thank you all for loving me and supporting me so well.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The family of a Black man shot by an Ohio sheriff's deputy asked a federal court on Wednesday to stop delaying their wrongful death lawsuit against the deputy.
Authorities say Casey Goodson Jr., 23, was shot in the back as he entered his grandmother’s house in late 2020. Deputy Jason Meade, who is white, has pleaded not guilty to murder and reckless homicide in the shooting.
Meade's attorney says Goodson pointed a gun and ignored a command to drop it. Goodson's family notes he was licensed to carry a gun, but says he was holding a bag of sandwiches at the time.
A federal judge paused the civil rights lawsuit against Meade and Franklin County until after the criminal case. The officer had argued that simultaneously defending himself in both cases would put him in a no-win situation.
With the criminal trial pushed back repeatedly, the delays are prejudicing the family’s civil case as their lawyers wait to continue the process of investigating facts, evidence and potential witnesses, said Sean Walton, an attorney for Goodson’s family. At least one person with relevant information about the day of the shooting has died, Walton said.
Franklin County’s prosecutor and board of commissioners said Wednesday they aren’t commenting on the pending cases.
At a press conference Wednesday, Walton also disclosed that Goodson's family found his AirPods wireless headphones at the scene after other evidence had been collected and gave them to authorities. He said the family believes it's likely Goodson was wearing the headphones and listening to music that day, and couldn't hear any shouted commands from the officer.
Walton said the delay in the civil case has kept their attorneys from learning more about whether the evidence gathered, including Goodson's smartphone, might provide further information about that.

Bad News Is Great: Stocks Hit Session Highs After Beige Book Downgrades Growth, Sees "Softening" Demand, Moderating Price Growth
Normally, today's Beige Book would be bad news - if modestly for Democrats and the Biden administration - as it confirmed what everyone knows, namely that the US economy is stagnating at beast, and slowing in reality. However, with bad news now widely viewed as great by a market starved for anything that will accelerate the coming recession - as it means the Fed's tightening campaign will be cut prematurely short - the fact that according to the Fed, economic activity was downgrade to "Stagnating" - or "unchanged" - since July's "modest expansion", with five Districts reporting slight to modest growth in activity and five others reporting slight to modest softening, with home sales falling in all twelve Districts and residential construction remained constrained as "residential loan demand was weak amid elevated mortgage interest rates", was clearly just the bullish news markets wanted.
But while the slowdown in the economy was good, the outright "moderation in price levels" in nine of 12 districts, while the "outlook for future economic growth remained generally weak, with contacts noting expectations for further softening of demand over the next six to twelve months" was positively great, and just the catalyst that spoos needed to blast off to session highs.
Elsewhere, manufacturing was mixed, as supply chain bottlenecks continuing to constrain activity in some locations, while labor markets remained tight but showed some signs of softening amidst improved worker availability (suggesting the next JOLTS report will be a doozy), with moderation in wage expectations. Still, employers planned to provide end-of-year pay raises to their workers, although expectations for the pace of wage growth varied across industries and Districts.
Some more details from today's Beige Book, which among other things, used some version of "slow" no less than 74 times and just shy of the highest for the cycle, with just July's 75 higher.
Overall economic activity
- Overall economic activity was unchanged, on balance, since early July, with five Districts reporting slight to modest growth in activity and five others reporting slight to modest softening.
- Most Districts reported steady consumer spending as households continued to trade down and to shift spending away from discretionary goods and toward food and other essential items.
- Auto sales remained muted across most Districts, reflecting limited inventories and elevated prices. Hospitality and tourism contacts highlighted overall solid leisure travel activity with some reporting an uptick in business and group travel.
- Manufacturing activity grew in several Districts, although there were some reports of declining output as supply chain disruptions and labor shortages continued to hamper production.
- Despite some reports of strong leasing activity, residential real estate conditions weakened noticeably as home sales fell in all twelve Districts and residential construction remained constrained by input shortages.
- Commercial real estate activity softened, particularly demand for office space.
- Loan demand was mixed; while financial institutions reported generally strong demand for credit cards and commercial and industrial loans, residential loan demand was weak amid elevated mortgage interest rates.
- Nonfinancial services firms experienced stable to slightly higher demand. Demand for transportation services was mixed and reports on agriculture conditions across reporting Districts varied.
- While demand for energy products was robust, production remained constrained by supply chain bottlenecks for critical components.
- The outlook for future economic growth remained generally weak, with contacts noting expectations for further softening of demand over the next six to twelve months.
Labor Markets
- Employment rose at a modest to moderate pace in most Districts.
- Overall labor market conditions remained tight, although nearly all Districts highlighted some improvement in labor availability, particularly among manufacturing, construction, and financial services contacts.
- Moreover, employers noted improved worker retention, on balance.
- Wages grew across all Districts, although reports of a slower pace of increase and moderating salary expectations were widespread.
- Employers in several Districts reported giving midyear and off-cycle raises to offset higher living costs, and many noted that offering bonuses, flexible work arrangements, and comprehensive benefits were deemed necessary to attract and retain workers.
- Looking ahead, employers planned to provide end-of-year pay raises to their workers, but expectations for the pace of wage growth varied across industries and Districts.
Prices
- Price levels remained highly elevated, but nine Districts reported some degree of moderation in their rate of increase.
- Substantial price increases were reported across all Districts, particularly for food, rent, utilities, and hospitality services.
- While manufacturing and construction input costs remained elevated, lower fuel prices and cooling overall demand alleviated cost pressures, especially freight shipping rates.
- Several Districts reported some tapering in prices for steel, lumber, and copper.
- Most contacts expected price pressures to persist at least through the end of the year.

MAYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — The criminal case against the man charged with stabbing author Salman Rushdie involves so much potential evidence that prosecutors need more time to review it, the chief prosecutor said Wednesday.
District Attorney Jason Schmidt of Chautauqua County in western New York said his office is reviewing about “30,000 files,” without providing details. He asked for more time to comply with a legal requirement to turn over evidence to suspect Hadi Matar's attorney, the Observer of Dunkirk reported.
Matar’s lawyer, Nathaniel Barone, questioned the need for delay.
“Just because there may be volumes of discovery out there, that doesn’t change the fact that that’s their job,” Barone said after the hearing. “They better get to it and we’re entitled to it.”
Prosecutors say Matar, 24, stabbed Rushdie in the neck, stomach, chest, hand and right eye at a literary event in western New York, before onlookers intervened. Rushdie had been sitting in a chair onstage at the Chautauqua Institution waiting to be introduced for an Aug. 12 discussion of protections for writers in exile and freedom of expression.
The author was recovering in a Pennsylvania hospital in the days after the attack. A Rushdie family lawyer did not immediately respond to a telephone message seeking an update on his condition.
Henry Reese, the cofounder of Pittsburgh’s City of Asylum, was onstage with Rushdie and suffered a gash to his forehead, bruises and other minor injuries.
Matar, who has been held without bail since his arrest, arrived at Chautauqua County Court in a black-and-white striped jail jumpsuit, wearing shackles and a white medical face mask.
The judge reserved decision on whether to grant prosecutors more time to share evidence, and ordered the sides to return Sept. 13.
Matar, who lived with his mother in Fairview, New Jersey, is charged with attempted murder and assault. He has pleaded not guilty. Schmidt, the district attorney, did not rule out additional charges Wednesday, pending the continuing investigation.
In a jailhouse interview with The New York Post after his arrest, Matar spoke about disliking Rushdie and praised Iran’s late supreme leader, Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Khomeini issued an edict in 1989 demanding Rushdie’s death over his novel “The Satanic Verses,” which some Muslims consider blasphemous. Iran has denied involvement in the attack.
Rushdie spent years in hiding but had traveled freely over the past two decades.

NEW YORK (AP) — Aryna Sabalenka returned to the U.S. Open semifinals Wednesday with a 6-1, 7-6 (4) victory over Karolina Pliskova.
Sabalenka is the only player still alive in either draw who reached the final four in Flushing Meadows last year. She lost to runner-up Leylah Fernandez in the semifinals.
The No. 6 seed from Belarus will face top-ranked Iga Swiatek or No. 8 Jessica Pegula for a spot in her first Grand Slam final.
“I’m ready for it,” Sabalenka said. “I’m ready for another fight.”
She reached her only other major semifinal last year at Wimbledon, where Pliskova beat her before falling to Ash Barty.
Sabalenka quickly showed this matchup would be much different, racing to a 4-0 lead against the 2016 U.S. Open runner-up and wrapping up the first set in 28 minutes.
Frances Tiafoe, coming off his upset of No. 2 Rafael Nadal, faced No. 9 Andrey Rublev in one men’s quarterfinal Wednesday. No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 11 Jannik Sinner were to meet in the late match.

Former WWE star Brian Kendrick recently opened up about his interactions with the company's former CEO, Vince McMahon.
Kendrick is a 23-year veteran in the wrestling business with three separate stints in WWE. His last run ended in February this year when he asked to be released from his position as a producer. Since then, the former Cruiserweight Champion has remained somewhat off the radar.
Speaking on the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Kendrick revealed that he used to get nervous around former WWE CEO Vince McMahon. He added that even when he didn't understand what McMahon said, he would pretend that he did:
"I still get nervous around him, though I'm not around him. But even last year, this time last year, agenting, or when I was down a little bit before the 'Mania in Tampa doing some agenting. What I'm afraid to say is stuff like this: 'I'm sorry boss, I couldn't hear you.' (...) I've always just felt like a child, I never felt like a man enough to like to go, 'sorry, I don't get what you're trying to say,' I'd just pretend and fake my way through it. I don't think I was alone, but I don't wanna call anybody else out." (21:38- 22:30)
Check out the latest edition of UnSKripted below:
Brian Kendrick explained how Vince McMahon pushed him in WWE as a singles star
Despite being intimidated by the former WWE CEO, Brian Kendrick also explained how Vince McMahon's single push helped him survive in the company.
In continuation of the same interview, the former 205 Live star stated that he was frustrated and asked Vince McMahon for a push. Eventually, the Chairman provided him with a change in character that he needed and named him 'The Brian Kendrick.'
"It's a long story, but it essentially came out of frustration and me demanding a push. You know, I was really angry and full of testosterone, and so through all that, Vince sent me down. Go pick up a heater, which was Ezekiel Jackson," stated Kendrick. "Cut a promo for Vince that was written for me; he didn't like it. He said, 'What do you got?' I gave him a promo, and he said, 'that's better, but you're 'The Brian Kendrick.' So, that was all, Vince. Vince came up with 'The Brian Kendrick.'"

New Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley viciously trolled stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis on September 6th during his first media availability since being acquired by the purple and gold from the Utah Jazz.
When Spectrum SportsNet’s Mike Bresnahan told Beverley that he’ll be playing with James and Davis, Beverley fired back and said, “They will be playing with me. I made the playoffs last year. They didn’t. It’s a difference.”
Beverley, who was acquired by the Lakers from the Jazz for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson, helped the Minnesota Timberwolves reach the playoffs last season. The Chicago native appeared in 58 games and averaged 9.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists.
Meanwhile, the Lakers didn’t even qualify for the play-in tournament in 2021-22 despite having James, Davis and Russell Westbrook. Los Angeles went only 33-49.
Beverley: I’m Glad I Get to Play with LeBron & Davis
After poking fun at James and Davis for missing the playoffs last season, Beverley told Bresnahan that he’s glad he’s teammates with LBJ and AD, who won the 2020 championship together over the Miami Heat in six games at the Walt Disney World bubble.
“I’m glad that, you know, we get a chance to play with each other than, you know, anything else,” Beverley said. “I’m excited to get the battling going. …I was with the Miami Heat. I was a rookie. He (LeBron) was there. So to come around, you know, at the tail end of his career, right in the prime of mine, I’m super excited.”
Beverley has career averages of 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers and Timberwolves. He has never missed the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Lakers have struggled since winning the 2020 title. They lost to the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the 2021 playoffs and missed the postseason altogether last campaign.
James, a four-time MVP and four-time Finals MVP, averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists last season in 56 starts. He turns 38 in December and is 1,326 points away from passing Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
Davis, who signed a five-year, $190 million contract with the Lakers in December 2020, averaged 23.2 points and 9.9 rebounds in 2021-22. The eight-time All-Star only played in 40 games, though. He missed 17 consecutive games from late December until late January after suffering an MCL sprain in his left knee against the Timberwolves. Then in mid-February, Davis sustained a right mid-foot sprain versus the Jazz, causing him to miss 18 straight games.
Lakers Will Run Offense Through Davis
According to an August 9th report from Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, new Los Angeles head coach Darvin Ham told James that he plans on running the Lakers’ offense through Davis next season. James had no problem with Ham’s decision.
“Furthermore, the first-year head coach said one wrinkle he will implement and stick with is having the offense run through Anthony Davis, and James concurred, sources said,” Haynes reported. “The team has been encouraged with Davis’ offseason progression and believe he’ll be in optimum shape to avoid serious injuries and carry a heavier load.”
CBS Sports is predicting that the Lakers will start Westbrook, Beverley, Juan Toscano-Anderson, James and Davis next season if Westbrook isn’t traded before training camp starts.

County Championship: Hampshire in pole position to beat Northamptonshire at the Ageas Bowl
A round-up of Wednesday's action in the County Championship. Hampshire bowled Northamptonshire out for 175, Luke Wells hit a 65-ball century for Lancashire, while Sam Cook took six for 33 as Essex pressed towards victory over Kent at Canterbury.
Last Updated: 07/09/22 8:45pm
Hampshire bowled Northamptonshire out for 175 to claim full bonus points and keep themselves on course to move top of the County Championship.
Kyle Abbott, who had made a superb unbeaten 57 with the bat, took his season tally to 53 wickets with four for 52, while Keith Barker claimed three for 41 and then another one as Northamptonshire followed on.
Northamptonshire, resuming on 77 for one, faced a 225-run first-innings deficit, with Emilio Gay's classy 74 helping edge the visitors on to 153 for three at stumps - still 72 runs behind.
Hampshire have the chance to move at least level with leaders Surrey, who do not play in this round, with a victory set to put them eight points clear.

At Emirates Old Trafford, Luke Wells hit a 65-ball century to maintain Lancashire's hopes of victory over Roses rivals Yorkshire to keep themselves in the title hunt.
Having resumed day three at 130 for four in reply to Lancashire's first-innings score of 276, Yorkshire were eventually bowled out for 255, seamer Tom Bailey taking four for 56 including his 300th first-class wicket.
Wells then set about building the lead in quick time with 124 in 82 balls before he was one of Dom Bess' two wickets, helping Lancashire reach 203 for three at the close, a lead of 224, when bad light ended the day 16 overs early. Opening partner Keaton Jennings had made 68.
Sam Cook took six for 33 as Essex pressed towards victory over Kent at Canterbury.
Resuming at 74 for four in reply to Essex's first innings 573, Kent were dismissed for 164, with Ben Allison claiming four for 40.
Despite Cook's haul - and Adam Rossington taking seven catches behind the stumps - Essex remained two wickets shy of victory, despite taking an extra half hour after the scheduled close with Jordan Cox remaining unbeaten on 53.
Ben Charlesworth, Ollie Price and Miles Hammond all made half-centuries as Gloucestershire looked poised for a challenging declaration against Somerset at Taunton.
The visitors began the day by bowling out Somerset for 248, from an overnight 209 for eight, as Tom Price completed figures of five for 75.
Gloucestershire built on their first-innings lead of 95 to reach 246 for five - an advantage of 341 - which was supported by decent contributions from Charlesworth (64), Ollie Price (53) and Hammond (53).
In Division Two at Trent Bridge, Nottinghamshire wrapped up a three-day victory over Leicestershire to further strengthen their position at the top of the table.
Nottinghamshire had declared at 390 for seven on Tuesday, setting an implausible target of 499, and Leicestershire, resuming at 20 without loss, were eventually bowled out for 257 in their second innings as the hosts secured victory by 241 runs.
There had been a rain delay of more than two hours before the last-wicket stand of first-class debutant Michael Finan (58) and Callum Parkinson (26 not out) was finally broken. Notts captain Steven Mullaney took three for 29 and Brett Hutton three for 51.
India batter Shubman Gill was the star performer between the rain breaks, falling just eight runs short of a century on debut, as Worcestershire kept alive slim hopes of forcing victory over Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens.
Glamorgan finished on 241 for eight, still needing 64 to avoid the follow-on after Gill was trapped lbw by Ed Barnard two balls before play stopped for bad light on a day when only 50 overs were possible.
There was a little under two hours of play possible ahead of lunch, then a lengthy break before the players returned after tea for a truncated evening session, with 44 overs having been lost and a further 10 because of bad light.
Ben Raine bowled Durham back into contention against Derbyshire at the County Ground, taking three for 24 in an impressive 18-over spell.
The 30-year-old seamer helped restrict the hosts to 185 for seven in their second innings, a lead of 268, with left-arm spinner Liam Trevaskis also taking three wickets before bad light ended play early.
Wayne Madsen tried to push Derbyshire on with 58, while captain Billy Godleman made 43 from 141 balls, his highest championship score of the season.

FN Media Group Presents USA News Group News Commentary
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group –Rebounding from the previous slowdowns, the airline industry is in a resurgence that's expected to regain industry-wide profitability in 2023, with North America already expected to deliver an $8.8 billion profit in 2022. Many lessons were learned during the health crisis, and now customers are demanding more from their carriers, including increased menu options, most notably demanding more vegetarian- and vegan-friendly options. Recently Air Canada (TSX: AC) (OTCQX: ACDVF) took a public tongue-lashing from a travel blogger specifically for its lack of delivering upon vegan orders, while American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) has also taken criticism for its inconsistency. Responding to these concerns, the airlines have sprung into action to re-establish trust with vegetarian and vegan clientele, including American Airlines adding a popular new vegan cookie dough bars snack option, United Airlines Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: UAL) and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE: DAL) each teaming up with Impossible Foods, and Air Canada tapped Pangea Natural Foods (CSE: PNGA) (OTCQB: PNGAF) to provide a new high-protein snack mix to its flights.
In-flight catering is big business, with the world's in-flight catering services market expected to reach $21.5 billion by 2024.
In the case of Pangea Natural Foods (CSE:PNGA), getting picked up by a major carrier such as Air Canada (TSX: AC) (OTCQX:ACDVF) is a major win, as it's Canada's largest domestic and international airline with a fleet of over 330, serving more than 160 destinations, and flying up to 438 daily flights between Canada and the United States alone. Together with Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada Express partners, Air Canada provides scheduled passenger service directly to 51 Canadian airports, 46 destinations in the United States and 67 airports in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
While technically vegetarian and not vegan (due to its white chocolate chips), Pangea's Munchie Mix is a superfood rich snack made with dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, roasted cashews, almonds and pumpkin seeds. Pangea manufactures the Munchie Mix, along with their Plant-Based Patties and Old Fashioned Ghee in-house at their Vancouver Lower Mainland facility, which has been approved by both the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"The introduction of Munchie Mix into Pangea's product line is yet another opportunity for us to bring high-quality products to the market," said Pangea CEO Pratap Sandhu. "All ingredients are free of GMOs and packed with antioxidants, magnesium, manganese, zinc and vitamin E. We are thrilled to introduce the Munchie Mix to Air Canada's large network of routes, thus expanding our distribution beyond just an e-commerce and retail footprint."
Prior to the announcement, Pangea had made its splash on the market by establishing its other products, the Pangea Plant-Based Patties and Old Fashioned Ghee via their online website and through over 250 retail outlets across Canada and the United States.
For first-class customers on flights in the United States, American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) is now offering a delicious line of plant-based, on-the-go cookie dough bars from Whoa Dough.
"Having a major airline carry our line is incredibly exciting for us, as we are eager for Whoa Dough to be enjoyed by millions of travelers every day who are looking for a healthier all-natural snack—without compromising on taste during their flight," said Whoa Dough founder Todd Goldstein. "Our snack bars are also ideal for passengers with dietary registrations."
Created with no artificial ingredients, Whoa Dough's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor is one of the brand's most popular varieties with customers. Each bar contains 4 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 9 grams of sugar, all with only 150 calories, and are also certified gluten-Free, Vegan, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Egg Free, OU Kosher, and Non-GMO Project Verified.
Earlier this year, both Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL) and United Airlines Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) each added to their menus by tapping into the expertise of Impossible Foods which is expected to go public soon, either through a traditional IPO or a SPAC merger.
In the case of Delta, they featured the work of Impossible Foods by debuting new plant-based menu options in March. For United, their similar announcement came later in June.
"Not only are plant-based meats like Impossible™ Burger delicious to eat, but they're also often better for the environment, using far less land and water to produce," said Kristen Manion Taylor, SVP – In-Flight Service for Delta. "These new options are one part of Delta's broader mission to promote a wellness-focused travel journey."
Delta flights went on to not only include the Impossible Burger, but also Impossible's plant-based meatballs, as well as plant-based lamb meatballs from Black Sheep Foods, cauliflower cakes, and a warm seasonal vegetable plate.
United customers went on to be treated to an exclusive Impossible Meatball Bowl on select US flights, as well as Impossible Sausage made from plants in select Polaris lounges.
"We want our food offerings to evolve and change along with people's preferences – we're proud to work with Impossible Foods and think our customers are really going to love these new options," said Aaron McMillan, United Managing Director of Hospitality and Planning. "To many travelers, the quality of food choices at the airport and in the sky are a really important part of the customer experience, so we're invested in making sure our menu items exceed their expectations."

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A group of 61 migrants picked up by a cargo ship from a crippled vessel in the central Mediterranean have safely reached Crete hours after a severely ill child on the freighter died while being airlifted to the Greek island, authorities said Wednesday.
It was unclear whether these were the same people who had earlier been reported stranded for days without provisions on a leaking fishing boat near Malta, after trying to sail from Lebanon to Italy.
On Tuesday, a Greek navy helicopter had airlifted a 4-year-old girl with health problems and her mother off the BBC Pearl freighter, that had rescued the migrants, but the child was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital on Crete.
The coast guard said the remaining 33 men, seven 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.
The migrants told authorities they were Syrians, Lebanese and Palestinians.
It wasn’t 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.
On Tuesday, activists and relatives of Lebanese and Syrian migrants on a fishing boat taking on water near Malta said they had lost contact with the vessel overnight.
The roughly 60 Lebanese and Syrian 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.
The vessel had left the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli about 10 days ago for Italy.
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.

Get 25% off ALL Kiehl's products, including cult favorites, during the Friends and Family sale - and snap up a FREE three-piece gift with your $125 purchase
SHOPPING: Products featured in this Mail Best article are independently selected by our shopping writers. If you make a purchase using links on this page, DailyMail.com will earn an affiliate commission.
You can’t top a great sale — especially when the greatness in question involves Kiehl’s. Right now, you can save 25% off on your beauty favorites, ranging from lush moisturizers to potent facial treatments.
Adding a few to your routine right now wouldn’t go amiss, but as temperatures begin to fall it’s an even better excuse to load up on nurturing and hydrating ingredients that will handle dryness from head to toe. Even better, you’ll receive a free three-piece gift with your $125 purchase, including three of the company’s best-selling facial products.
Never underestimate the power of a fantastic moisturizer. Once you try this one, you can be almost certain you’ll never even glance another formula’s way.
Creme de Corps is easily one of the planet’s most beloved hydrators — and packed with such skin-loving ingredients as shea butter and cocoa butter that absolutely drench the skin in moisture, it’s easy to understand why.
It’s a must if you’re in the market for something that absorbs quick and leaves skin extra-supple.
There’s a reason so many of these products enjoy cult status. They’re tried and true, have been around for decades, and are continuously at the forefront of fresh and effective innovations that just plain work. These are some of Kiehl’s most popular products — all discounted so you can make both your skin and your wallet happy.
Common skin woes like dullness, dehydration, and uneven texture and tone can occur with age. It takes a true powerhouse product like this lush water cream to both nurture the skin and restore its resilience.
Lightweight yet potent, it’s infused with decadent calendula flower extract that is known to soothe irritation while combatting redness. Offering up to 24 hours of continuous moisture, it’s a fantastic addition to your skin care routine — even the most sensitive complexions can benefit.
There’s something so indulgent about smoothing on a rich, whipped moisturizer after a shower or at the end of a long day. This one is famously known for its airy texture and heavy-duty hydrating agents, including shea and jojoba butters.
Most reviewers share the sentiments of this enthusiastic shopper: ‘Rich and silky but not heavy or overpowering. My entire body feels incredibly soft and smooth and skin looks wonderful!’ Bonus points for the light and lovely fragrance that’s impossible to resist.
It can be tricky to find effective products that actually make a difference on aging skin. Enter this serum, powered by 0.3% retinol that works to speed up the cell renewal process and penetrate the skin’s deepest layers.
The difference is in the formula: the product includes a light serum and a capsule containing retinol powder. To ensure maximum efficacy and freshness, just mix the powder into the serum.
One user reported: ‘The crow’s feet by my eyes are virtually gone and I'm in my 40s. The 3 frown lines I have on my forehead have been significantly reduced.’
You’ll wonder where this little treat has been all your life after you slick it onto your lips.
Providing deep hydration on contact thanks to its nourishing blend of coconut oil and lemon butter, this lovely formula is available in a trio of natural colors that leave behind a hint of flattering tint — just enough for you to feel a bit more “done” without doing anything too complicated.
Plus, it’s infused with broad-spectrum SPF 30 to protect your lips from potent UV rays year-round.
With cooler weather comes the promise of drier skin — including parched hands. No matter what you do, you may not be able to get a handle on the problem without a potent moisturizer. To the rescue comes this salve that’s enriched with big-time conditioners like shea butter, sesame seed oil, and avocado oil.
The blend creates an effective barrier that locks in moisture, resulting in softer and smoother skin that actually lasts. This is yet another Kiehl’s product that’s well worth all the hype, largely because it works on even severe dryness.
Sunscreen is an absolute must at any time of the year — no questions asked. This broad-spectrum formula combats harmful UVA and UVB rays to protect your skin from premature signs of aging, sunburns, and free radicals all at once.
Regular usage is vital to safeguard your complexion from telltale signs of overexposure to the sun, like dark spots, crepey skin, and fine lines. This is perfect for year-round use, offering a matte finish and non-comedogenic formula suitable for all skin types.
There’s nothing like a dreamy oil to round out a solid skin care routine. Loaded with botanical oils, this feels like a spa treatment in a bottle. Its key ingredients include soothing tamanu oil, strengthening sunflower oil, and antioxidant-rich ginger oil.
The product is lightweight, so you can easily smooth it over your skin and layer your makeup on top. ‘This made my skin so unbelievable soft, the dry patches felt much smoother, and my face just glows,’ raved one devotee.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A building collapsed in Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Wednesday, killing at least 11 people, including three children, the Syrian state television reported.
The TV said the illegally built, five-story building in Aleppo's southern neighborhood of Fardous collapsed in the evening. It said seven women, three children and an elderly man were killed.
The report also said two people were injured and seven nearby buildings were evacuated for fear they might collapse as well. Search operations were still ongoing amid the rubble in case more people might be buried under the debris.
State news agency, SANA, quoted the head of the Aleppo city council, Muid Madlaji, as saying that the building was illegally built and had weak foundations. He added that the area suffered wide damage during the war.
Fardous was a rebel-held neighborhood until December 2016, when government forces with the help of Russia and Iran captured eastern parts of the city, which had been held by insurgents for four years.
Many buildings in Aleppo were completely destroyed or damaged during Syria's 11-year conflict, which has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced half the country's pre-war population of 23 million.
Aleppo is Syria's largest city and was once its commercial center.

Edinburgh bin strikes: John Swinney "deeply regrets" inconvenience dispute caused in Edinburgh
Deputy First Minister John Swinney has said he “deeply regrets” the inconvenience caused to people in Edinburgh by the recent bin strike.
Let us know what you think and join the conversation at the bottom of this article.
His comment in the Scottish Parliament came as the city council said the operation to clear the mounds of rubbish which built up during the 12 days of industrial action at the nd of last month was more or less complete.
In a statement, Mr Swinney said he was pleased a settlement had been reached last week on council workers’ pay. “As a result of our intervention, and the hard work of the unions and their members, the pay rise proposed for the lowest paid was significantly increased – with awards in excess of 10 per cent, while the increases for the most well-off were capped at £3,000.”

But warned the money to pay for it would have to come from savings elsewhere.
Lothian Tory MSP Miles Briggs said there had been “one word missing” from Mr Swinney’s statement – sorry. “Sorry to the people of Edinburgh and Scotland for the impact which the strikes have had on their lives especially here in the Capital where waste was left to pile up in the streets for 12 days during our showcase Edinburgh Festival. Year on year, cuts to council’s budget have limited their ability to address local issues. Just this year, the local government budget was cut by £251 million in real terms.”
In response Mr Swinney said: “I deeply regret the inconvenience which was experienced by members of the public in Edinburgh over the disruption to refuse collection, as I regret it in other parts of the country.”
But he went on to accuse Conservative representatives on the local government umbrella organisation Cosla of playing politics. “I think the ability to address the issue and avoid industrial action would have been helped if Conservative leaders in Cosla, when the government put more money on the table, hadn’t offered a 3.5 per cent increase to workers, as opposed to the 5 per cent which the government had made it possible to be funded.
“So, the playing of politics by Conservative leaders on Cosla directly caused the industrial action in the city of Edinburgh and Conservative leaders should be ashamed of themselves.”
Bin workers began clearing the piles of refuse from the streets when they returned to work after the strike on Tuesday last week. And council leader Cammy Day said the task had been largely completed. He said staff had worked overtime where necessary and contractors had been used to help clear some of the backlog.
But he said: “Our waste and cleansing teams have been working extremely hard to get the city back to looking its best since the end of the strike, collecting more than 4,500 tonnes of waste last week alone and returning kerbside collections to normal.
"Across the city most of the communal bins have been picked up by the council’s teams doing their job. No-one is going to be claiming huge amounts of overtime.
“Contractors have helped to clear some of the residual waste. It has taken just over a week to get the city back to normal.”
Dalkeith-based contractors NWH said it was proud of its staff who had worked across several locations to help clear the streets.

The delegation, led by Mayor R. Rex Parris, met with government and clean energy business leaders across Japan.
LANCASTER, Calif., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The City of Lancaster joined government and business leaders from around the globe in Tokyo, Japan for World Smart Energy Week, with the goal to form closer ties to accelerate the transition to clean energy solutions, including hydrogen. The city delegation's visit culminated in a keynote speech provided by Mayor R. Rex Parris on Lancaster's leading role in becoming the first hydrogen city in the U.S.
"The City of Lancaster extends its immense gratitude and appreciation to our World Smart Energy Week hosts as we share our forward-looking approach to deploying clean energy solutions, like hydrogen, from the municipal level. This trip is an essential opportunity to meet with officials from our Smart Sister City, Namie, meet with existing business partners like Choshu and form new relationships," said Parris. "Our travels will enable Lancaster to grow tighter bonds with the Japanese business community and share lessons in the global effort to achieve global net-zero goals."
Ahead of the World Smart Energy Week presentation, Mayor R. Rex Parris joined Mayor Eric Garcetti, of the City of Los Angeles, at a Discover LA Event where they discussed green energy solutions. Both mayors share common goals of attracting green hydrogen companies, technology, and investment to the Los Angeles region.
Following the events of World Smart Energy Week, the city delegation will continue to meet with government and business leaders throughout Japan, including:
- Tour Namie, Japan, City of Lancaster's Smart Sister City partner
- Visit TEPCO Dai Ichi nuclear plant
- Meet with Japanese Government Agency Officials
- Tour Choshu facilities with the Governor of Yamaguchi
Parris is a fifth-term Republican mayor who transformed Lancaster into a renewable energy leader over the past decade by attracting more than $2 billion of investment in cutting-edge green companies and technologies. Investors include BYD, which manufactures electric buses; Heliogen, which generates hydrogen from concentrated solar energy; SGH2, which gasifies wastepaper into hydrogen; and Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI), which converts organic waste into renewable natural gas and hydrogen. The city also started its own utility company, Lancaster Choice Energy, allowing residents to choose local renewable energy at lower prices.
