Former Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley was already set to be a part of the Arizona Cardinals as the 2022 season gets underway, but his role with the team has already been increased just days before the team kicks off for the first time.
McSorley was signed to the active roster, the Cardinals announced on Wednesday. McSorley fills the roster spot that was held by veteran backup quarterback Colt McCoy, who was placed on injured reserve by the franchise amid some roster tweaks before the season opener.
Buy Nittany Lions TicketsMcSorley joined the Cardinals during the 2021 season after being picked up off the practice squad for the Baltimore Ravens. McSorley spent the first two and a half months of the NFL season on the Ravens practice squad but was picked up by the Cardinals to pad the depth as the team faced quarterback depth concerns late in the season.
McSorley said he learned a lot from McCoy after joining the Cardinals. Now, he effectively is taking McCoy’s place on the roster as the backup to Cardinals starting quarterback Kyler Murray.
We have signed QB Trace McSorley to the active roster from the practice squad and have placed QB Colt McCoy on injured reserve.

Tolkien is turning in his grave: Elon Musk criticizes Amazon's 'The Rings Of Power' show
Musk took to his official Twitter handle and slammed the show with a pair of short tweets which included the above statement.
Published: 06th September 2022 08:04 PM | Last Updated: 06th September 2022 08:04 PM | A+A A-
WASHINGTON: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has criticized Amazon's big-budget fantasy drama series 'The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power', stating that the late author J.R.R. Tolkien is "turning in his grave."
According to Variety, Musk took to his official Twitter handle and slammed the show with a pair of short tweets which included the above statement.
His second tweet read, "Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice."
Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 5, 2022
Galadriel, played by Welsh actor Morfydd Clark, is a warrior elf and the lead of the series set thousands of years before the events of 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings'.
Clark has herself been the target of criticism from online trolls, with complaints generally claiming the regal nature of the character in the original JRR Tolkien novels and Peter Jackson films has been replaced by an all-action warrior elf queen.
It is worth noting that Musk, who's currently tangled in a web trying to exit his proposed USD 44BN takeover of social site Twitter, has a long-running feud and rivalry with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, that has intensified as Musk's SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin compete directly.
The enmity between the world's two richest people has seen the Tesla CEO habitually troll or shitpost against Bezos and his companies.
So far 'Rings of Power', directed by JA Bayona, Wayne Che Yip and Charlotte Brandstrom, has been a huge success for Amazon, scoring 25 million viewers for the first two episodes, Prime Video's top premiere ever, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The eight-episode first season will run until October 14. According to Variety, the second season of 'The Rings of Power' is already in the works as part of Amazon's five-season agreement with the Tolkien estate.

The Goldbergs are back! But there is tragedy in the family's midst.
ET exclusively premieres the new season 10 promo for the ABC family comedy, and the Goldbergs are preparing to welcome another member into the family with newlyweds Erica (Hayley Orrantia) and Geoff (Sam Lerner) expecting their first child. But while they're celebrating the arrival of baby Goldberg, the new season begins with patriarch Murray Goldberg (former star Jeff Garlin) having already died.
Though the promo doesn't share the news of Murray's death, it does hint at "tragic tales" to come in the signature Goldbergs way -- with a touch of humor, sass and sarcasm. Watch the promo above.
Last week, it was revealed in a new interview that season 10 begins with Garlin's Murray being killed off.
“This is going to be a family that has not reconciled the fact that their father's gone but has sort of moved on and has dealt with a lot of that,” executive producer Alex Barnow told Entertainment Weekly. “It's an opportunity for this interesting emotional basis for the way people are behaving.”
Executive producer Chris Bishop said the new episodes will feel like a “huge reboot," saying that they "have tons of momentum rolling into this new season."
Garlin left The Goldbergs in the middle of season 9 amid complaints about his behavior on set, resulting in investigations into various allegations about his conduct. The series continued to include Murray in storylines, working around the actor's absence through body doubles and camera trickery, which prompted viewer outrage.
The Goldbergs premieres Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Nottingham Forest are not finished yet in the transfer market as they add ex-Tottenham defender Serge Aurier to their squad... becoming the 22nd signing of Steve Cooper's busy summer
- Ivory Coast international Serge Aurier joins Nottingham Forest on a free transfer
- The defender's move to the City Ground will now be subject to visa approval
- Aurier becomes the 22nd transfer of the summer and the 12th defensive recruit
Serge Aurier has joined Nottingham Forest to become their 22nd signing of the summer, subject to visa approval although that is not thought to be an issue.
The Ivorian right-back will join Steve Cooper's side and provide competition with Welsh defender Neco Williams, who was also brought in this summer from fellow Premier League side Liverpool.
Aurier had been without a club since leaving Villarreal in July, where he spent 10 months after again spending a period as a free agent.
Serge Aurier joins Nottingham Forest on a free transfer after leaving LaLiga side Villarreal
In a statement published on the club's website, Forest announced: 'Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the signing of Ivory Coast captain Serge Aurier, subject to Visa approval.'
Aurier had come close to a move to the City Ground earlier in the summer, and was set for a transfer deadline day move back to the Premier League, but despite long-standing speculation the move never materialised.
It was previously reported by Sportsmail that he had a medical at the City Ground in August, and now looks to have finalised the finer details on a deal at the club.
Steve Cooper has broken the record for most signings in a summer window with 22 recruits
Aurier played 110 games for Spurs in a four-year stay at the club, having arrived in 2017 from PSG, and scored eight goals and assisted 17 times.
Aurier will now contend with Neco Williams for a starting role at right-back
The Ivorian becomes the 12th defensive recruit, as Cooper has clearly identified the area of his team that needs strengthening, with seven of those being full-backs.
Williams, 21, has made a solid start to his career at right-back for Forest having started all six games in the Premier League so far this season, though he struggled at times against Bournemouth.
Having gone 2-0 up inside the first 45 minutes, Forest crumbled to a disappointing 3-2 defeat to the fellow newly-promoted side.
Wales international full-back Williams must now compete with a full-back with experience at the highest level.
Aurier has 31 Champions League appearances, and was part of the Tottenham side to reach the final and got to the semi-finals with Villarreal in 2021-22.

A year ago, Harry Marino was the executive director of Advocates For Minor Leaguers, a nonprofit organization just 15 months into its mission to improve working conditions for minor league baseball players everywhere. Our conversation was brief, but Marino was explicit about the goals of his group. Forming a union didn’t top the list.
Flash forward to December. Kieran Lovegrove ― a recently retired minor leaguer, like Marino ― was energized. Speaking on behalf of Advocates For Minor Leaguers, days before they hosted a players-only meeting, Lovegrove declared on social media. “I am here to tell you guys that the exploitation of minor leaguers is done. We are coming together, and we are going to make sure that you guys are treated as the elite athletes that you are.”
Flash forward to last week. Each member of the Advocates for Minor Leaguers staff resigned to take on a new role working for the MLB Players’ Association, which had been selected to represent minor leaguers in collective bargaining with their MLB corporate overlords.
Flash forward to Tuesday. The MLBPA requested formal recognition from MLB with “a significant majority” of minor leaguers authorizing the union to become their collective bargaining representative and to create their own minor league bargaining unit.
The most remarkable element of the race to unionize minor league baseball is how quickly it was run.
In a matter of years, the less savory elements of minor league working conditions have become well-known outside the industry. Most minor league players work second jobs because their in-season pay isn’t enough to make ends meet. Until last year, players were required to pay all or part of their rent, and in many cases secure their own living arrangements for the season.
While providing nutritious meals at the ballpark improved in recent years, that wasn’t true across the board. One team, the Angels, fed players 800-1,200 calories of food a day at their California League affiliate but expected players to consume more than three times that amount.
To understand how those conditions catalyzed the formation of a union, it helps to go beyond baseball. Begin with the state of the world at large in March 2020, when Advocates For Minor Leaguers was formed.
“With the pandemic, we saw a rise in the cost of commodities,” said Jake Wilson, a professor in the Department of Sociology at California State University, Long Beach who studies organized labor. “Food costs came up. A lot of people lost their jobs. A shock to the economic systems. Travel, the delivery of goods, supply chains ― all of these began to impact other parts of the economy. Fuel, rent, food costs went up.
“All these things are happening at the same time. Globally you have a massive economic crisis. Everyday workers who are trying to survive, feed their families, have had enough.”
Unionizing might be the players’ ultimate power move, but it is far from their only prong of attack.
In March, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) announced plans to legislate MLB’s antitrust exemption out of existence. In June, the Justice Department asked a federal court to limit the scope of MLB’s antitrust exemption. This motion was reportedly sparked by a lawsuit brought by three minor league teams among more than 40 phased out of affiliated baseball by MLB in Dec. 2020.
A federal class-action lawsuit filed in Feb. 2014 finally settled in July, when MLB established a non-reversionary fund worth $185 million for minor leaguers seeking wage restitution.
Now, with 5,400 active minor league players joining the counterattack, it’s been speculated that MLB might once again threaten to eliminate teams ― and, by extension, player jobs ― from affiliated baseball.
Wilson thinks this threat could fall apart quickly.
“It’s an anti-labor threat straight out of the anti-union handbook that it will mean loss of jobs,” he said. “There’s so much money being taken straight out the top of this, it’s disingenuous that owners will not make a profit if there are more wages at the bottom.
“It’s about educating workers: Major League Baseball has already upended the minor league system more than once by eliminating small market teams, and other things they’ve done. If workers are united in this ― and this includes the big leaguers stepping up ― Major League Baseball could have a big problem on its hands.”
Wilson believes the idea of major leaguers publicly advocating for minor leaguers is essential, not tangential, to a successful outcome. Minor league players could have chosen any union to represent them in collective bargaining, and the MLBPA has not always made minor leaguers’ financial interests a priority.
For example, while the union has ensured its members fair compensation in exchange for “MLB The Show” representing their names, images and likenesses, it did not secure royalties for minor leaguers when their personae populated the 2020 version of the video game.
More broadly, MLB negotiators might pit major leaguers against minor leaguers by claiming both parties can only be compensated out of the same pie: For every slice that goes to minor leaguers, another must be taken from the major leaguers.
But this ignores the many revenue streams available to the league, and the complex ways in which those revenues are distributed to players. The simple counterargument for minor leaguers: why not expand the pie?
The new players’ union, Wilson said, will feature “separate contracts with separate bargaining teams.” The separate contracts aren’t inherently in conflict with each other.
“I’m in the CSU system, the largest public university system in the U.S.,” Wilson said. “We have part-time adjunct professors in the same union as full-time professors. Ultimately I think that’s a good thing. I think if MLBPA members support their co-workers to bring them up, ultimately, it’s a good thing for baseball.”
It isn’t just baseball players teaming up with each other. Wednesday, MLBPA executive director Tony Clark announced a formal affiliation with the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the United States. The affiliation will allow major and minor league players to have an active voice in the AFL-CIO’s Sports Council, which also includes unions representing NFL players, and professional men’s and women’s soccer players.
In one sense, this week marked a swift conclusion to the years-long effort to bring minor league baseball players’ workplace rights in line with those of other entry-level professionals across economic sectors.
In another sense, their effort has just begun.

BOULDER – Pete Turner, owner of 12 Illegal Pete’s fast-casual burrito restaurants in Colorado and Arizona, said today he has “every intention” of expanding his flagship Boulder eatery into the space soon to be vacated by the now-shuttered Albums on the Hill record store next door.
And if he succeeds, he says he will bring live music back to the combined properties at 1124 and 1128 13th St., located across from the Fox Theatre and just a few steps off the University of Colorado Boulder campus.
“It is 100 percent definite that we will be pursuing this,” Turner told The Denver Gazette. “It’s an absolute no-brainer.”
Andy Schneidkraut, who has operated Albums on the Hill since 1987 in the basement of a building owned by Gary Cook, decided to close his record store after a series of health scares this year. After five months closed, Schneidkraut reopened the store for an emotional, five-day closing sale that ended Monday.
“I think this is an opportunity to bring live music upstairs or downstairs in a combined venue,” Turner said. “We just want to do it in a way that aligns both the history of Andy’s business with the history of our business. I have mad respect for Andy. … And yes, we could use more space.”
Albums on the Hill was opened in 1976 by Buddy Day, who sold the business to Schneidkraut in 1987. Turner opened his first Illegal Pete’s in 1995 at what had been the popular Round the Corner burger restaurant.
Turner’s plan, if approved by the city of Boulder, would largely reunify the Round the Corner space, given that the area above Albums on the Hill once served as seating for the burger restaurant.
“So, yes, that space was made to expand,” Turner said.
The only question, he added, “is what the city of Boulder will allow us to do, and what hoops we will have to go through. Boulder has more regulations about what you can do on The Hill than anywhere else in the city. But I’m hoping that after 27 years, we have earned enough good will for them to trust us. I know we are up to the task.”
Turner has had a personal connection to Albums on the Hill since he was a student at the University of Colorado Boulder, graduating in the Class of 1993. He was a longtime customer who considered the store’s “Tuesdays at Midnight” record releases to be part of his college ritual.
“I have been talking with Andy and the landlord for years about the long-term plan for that property,” he said, “but I have not pushed it out of respect for Andy and his situation.”
Turner’s plan would not be to reopen the record store, but music, comedy and entertainment are basic components of the Illegal Pete’s brand, and he said that would “definitely” continue in the expanded Boulder restaurant. The Illegal Pete’s on South Broadway in Denver, for example, regularly hosts local bands and has a recreation area outside.
The record-store property needs infrastructure upgrades, including plumbing and electrical. But if everything were to go smoothly – and very little has since the pandemic brought labor and supply shortages along with runaway inflation – Turner thinks an expanded Illegal Pete’s could be up and running within 12-18 months.

A Popular East Texas BBQ Joint Forced to Shut Down on its Anniversary
Well, you sure hate to see this. What had quickly become a popular BBQ joint in Frankston, TX, was forced to close for good on their second anniversary of opening. The reasons probably won't be that big of a surprise, unfortunately.
The Windmill Cafe, which had been set up on the Square in Frankston, closed their doors for good on Sunday (September 4th), two years to the day after their grand opening.
They took the time to show their appreciation to their patrons for two good years, "We want to thank all of our customers and staff for all the support to make it a successful endeavor." But ultimately they were done in by the times; pointing out that the rising cost of food, employee wages, and inflation is what took them to this point.
"With no relief in sight, It has become increasingly difficult to be profitable and hard to justify the time and hard work involved to continue to operate. I've always said we have the best, customers and the support that our community has shown is truly heartwarming! God Bless."
Linda Streck also implored any patrons who might still have a Windmill Cafe on the Square gift card, to get in touch with her. According to a post on the restaurants official Facebook page you are asked to "contact Linda Streck through Messenger, to make arrangements to cash your cards in," sooner than later to ensure a quick refund. "I would like to get them cashed in ASAP while I still have my POS system to be able to read them."
Always hate to see a good business throw in the towel.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — Fairfield County is getting ready to release its new ten year comprehensive plan, which reflects the county's goals through the next decade.
The community development team says it has done its due diligence by hosting work sessions with the planning commission, asking for community feedback through an online survey, and working with local businesses and the Central Midlands Council of Government.
Now, it's time for the writeup.
"To be able to develop the community and reach goals that are established within that comprehensive plan, as well as to be married to your local zoning ordinances," said Fairfield County Community Development Director Daniel Stines. "We have some sewer projects that we're getting in the hopper, there's some grants that are being sought out for some of those projects both on the municipal and the county level, some certainly good partnerships coming together to culminate those efforts."
RELATED: Winnsboro hires interim police chief
Stines said the I-77 mega site is top priority, and the plan anticipates local businesses expanding. He also cited the new whitewater center planned for Great Falls as a priority.
In the online survey, residents said they want more jobs and more shopping in the area, according to Stines.
"More jobs and stuff like that, more opportunities, it's going to help keep our children out of the streets and it's going to give them a purpose of something," Winnsboro resident Tiffany McCants said.
According to Fairfield County, leaders are expecting to have the first draft of their plan ready in October. Then, council will take a vote to make any changes.

The New Zealand Police Association rejects the findings of the IPCA and Privacy Commissioner inquiry into Police conduct when photographing members of the public.
Police Association president Chris Cahill says the report is out of step with what police officers need to do every day to protect New Zealanders from becoming victims of crime.
"The report appears to be based on anecdotes and a few poor examples of practice. It should be based on evidence and an understanding of how most police officers actually operate," Mr Cahill says.
"Most importantly, the report’s key findings represent a serious misunderstanding of what constitutes biometric data. As such, the report is fatally flawed and should be withdrawn immediately."
Mr Cahill says the assertion that a photograph of a person constitutes biometric data is incorrect and even the Privacy Commissioner’s own explanation of biometrics confirms this.
"A photograph is not personal information and therefore police taking and storing photographic images does not fall under the Privacy Act. This renders most of the report worthless.
"Further, the assertion by the IPCA that Police cannot take voluntary fingerprints from youths is ridiculous and if permitted to stand would deny justice to hundreds, if not thousands, of victims of crime" Mr Cahill says.
The Police Association is aware of large numbers of positive fingerprint hits that identify offenders for burglaries, stolen vehicles, thefts and potentially other more serious crimes that are not being acted on because of the erroneous view of the IPCA.
Mr Cahill calls on the Police Commissioner to direct staff to act now based on these positive fingerprints and leave it to the offenders identified to challenge the legality of this evidence in court, as is their right, and the correct process to follow.
"New Zealanders are extremely concerned about the wave of crime across Aotearoa, much of it committed by youth offenders. Correspondingly, police officers find it repugnant to not act on evidence that positively identifies offenders.
"This is also failing youths involved in crime because when Police do not act early on the evidence they have, many of these young people will continue to commit crimes. However, if Police intervene and stop them, they become eligible for wrap-around support that could divert them away from further, often more serious, offending.
"If this report is not immediately withdrawn, I believe the Police commissioner should choose to ignore it so staff can act fair and reasonably to deliver the level of service Kiwis expect and deserve," Mr Cahill concludes.

(Motor Authority) — Officials in New York are mulling a bill that would mandate speed limiters in new vehicles that would be set to the local maximum allowable limit. The system would use GPS and traffic sign recognition technology to determine the speed limit.
The system has an appropriately benign and Orwellian name: Active Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).
Senate Bill S9528 was introduced by Manhattan State Senator Brad Hoylman on Aug. 12 and, if passed, would require any vehicle manufactured or registered in the state of New York to be fitted with the ISA system, starting from Jan. 1, 2024. It cites the results of a study that show such a system could reduce traffic fatalities by 20%.
The bill also calls for existing active safety systems like automatic emergency braking, active lane control, blind-spot monitors with pedestrian detection, driver drowsiness detection, and even a data event recorder to be mandated from the same date.
If you’re thinking this sounds like a bad science fiction movie, New York City is already running a trial with 50 vehicles from the city’s fleet fitted with an ISA system. The trial will run for six months.
“Speeding ruins lives, so we must take action to prevent it, and New York City is leading by example by implementing new technology to reduce speeds on city fleet vehicles,” Eric Adams, New York City’s mayor, said in a statement.
Critics of the system argue that in certain circumstances it’s vital to be able to go past the limit, such as during merging. A solution here could be to introduce the limit in stages. For example, first, there could be a warning bell if the speed limit is exceeded. Then there could be a second, more serious warning, which if still ignored would then see the vehicle’s speed automatically reduced.
Of course, it’s not hard to imagine officials also using the system to constantly monitor a driver’s speed and automatically issue fines should the speed limit be exceeded.
A saving grace, as Jalopnik notes, is that safety standards for new vehicles, unlike emissions standards, are set at the federal level, which brings into question whether New York officials will be able to implement the bill even if passed.
The bill is currently In Committee, which means it’s under consideration. It has not passed the New York State Senate or State Assembly, and if it passes both it would have to be signed into law or vetoed by the governor.

BANGKOK (AP) — Days after flying to Thailand to seek asylum, members of a Chinese church huddled in a restaurant to share their stories with journalists. But when they peered over their shoulders, they spotted strangers taking videos of them with cellphones.
In seconds, they scattered, fearing Chinese state security had come for them yet again.
“Political pressure is rising, and there’s more and more ideological control,“ said Pastor Pan Yongguang, whose church has been on the run for years. “The persecution is growing worse.”
The story of the exile of the Shenzhen Holy Reformed Church illustrates how the Chinese government is going to increasing lengths to control religious faith and its citizens, even far outside its borders.
Since leaving China for South Korea’s resort island of Jeju three years ago, Pan’s 61 congregants have been stalked, harassed, and received threatening calls and messages despite fleeing hundreds of kilometers (miles) away, he said. Relatives back in China have been summoned, interrogated and intimidated. In one case, Chinese diplomats refused to issue a member’s newborn child a passport, rendering the baby stateless.
The government’s tactics against the church echo ones used against the Uyghurs and other Chinese ethnic minorities abroad, as well as fugitives accused of corruption, to coerce them to return to China.
In China, Christians are legally allowed to worship only in churches affiliated with Communist Party-controlled religious groups, but for decades, the authorities largely tolerated independent, unregistered “house churches.” They have tens of millions of worshippers, possibly outnumbering those in the official groups.
However, in recent years, house churches have come under heavy pressure, with many prominent ones shut down. Unlike previous crackdowns, such as Beijing’s ban of Falun Gong, a spiritual movement it labels a cult, the authorities have also targeted some believers not explicitly opposed to the Chinese state.
Most members of Pan’s church are young, married middle-class couples, with their children making up about half the group.
Bob Fu, founder of ChinaAid, a Christian group helping Pan, cited tightening controls on religion under Chinese leader Xi Jinping aimed at rooting out foreign influence and bolstering national security.
“What national security threat?” Fu said. “They’re not going to public squares, they’re not trying to shame the Chinese government. They’re just trying to seek religious freedom.”
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the matter was “not a diplomatic question” when asked for comment.
Ministering in China was never easy, Pan said. Since starting the church in 2012, it has had to move from house to house as authorities ordered landlords to turn them away. Police kept close track of church gatherings, recording attendees and hauling Pan in for questioning from time to time. The questions grew sharper after they discovered he was ordained into the Presbyterian church in Philadelphia, sharper still after new religious regulations in 2018. Police homed in on his ties overseas.
“They want to seal off Chinese churches from the outside world,” Pan said.
Pan said the church began thinking of leaving after his friend, an outspoken pastor from the same denomination, was arrested.
The final straw came after millions began taking to the streets of Hong Kong in 2019 to protest Beijing’s tightening grip on the city. Pan said they had no connection to the protests, but authorities in their city of Shenzhen on the mainland bordering Hong Kong were on high alert under “quasi-martial law.” The church came under excruciating pressure.
Pan decided it was time to put the matter to a vote. Most members elected to leave.
“At the time, I thought maybe we could return after things settled down,” said Nie Yunfeng, who joined the church months after its founding. “I never imagined things would get this bad.”
At the beginning of this year, her parents were summoned by police and questioned about Nie’s faith, as were dozens of relatives of other church members who had left for South Korea. Officers all over the country, from central Hubei province to tropical Hainan island, threatened the relatives with confiscation of state benefits or the closure of their businesses if the congregants didn’t return to China.
“Your descendants may suffer,” they told Nie’s terrified father. “Tell them to come back right now, or else they will face serious consequences.”
Officers found Pan’s brother, sisters and mother and accused Pan of “treason,” “collusion with foreign forces” and “subversion of state power.” Evidence obtained by Pan and seen by the AP indicates that state security was ordered to investigate the church.
They left South Korea for Thailand after meetings with local and U.S. officials made it clear that prospects for refuge were dim. Despite being home to a large, active Christian population, South Korea’s cultural and ethnic homogeneity can make it unfriendly toward refugees. Government statistics show less than 1% of asylum seekers were granted refuge there last year.
So, the church decided to flee again. On Monday, church members gathered outside the United Nations refugee office in Bangkok. They piled manila envelopes stuffed with asylum papers on a mailbox hanging by the entrance.
In Bangkok, members have split between different hotels and attend Sunday service on Zoom, wary of being tracked by Chinese police. They spend their days praying, worrying about an uncertain future.
Xie Jianqing, a church elder, said the transition has been tough. The church members, largely white-collar workers in the glittering high-tech metropolis of Shenzhen, had to get used to picking fruit and digging dirt in the volcanic soil of Jeju island. Now, they have no work, and their future is even cloudier.
Still, such sacrifices are worth it, Xie said. In China, he wasn’t able to give his children the religious upbringing he wanted because state schools are compulsory and mandate an atheist, communism-infused curriculum. Abroad, he said, his children can learn about the God he believes in.
“We’re willing to pay this price,” he said. “God always has the best plan.”

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania cut diplomatic ties with Iran and expelled the country’s embassy staff over a major cyberattack nearly two months ago that was allegedly carried out by Tehran on Albanian government websites, the prime minister said Wednesday.
The move by NATO member Albania was the first known case of a country cutting diplomatic relations over a cyberattack.
The White House vowed unspecified retaliation Wednesday against Iran for what it called “a troubling precedent for cyberspace.”
In a statement, the White House said it has had experts on the ground for weeks helping Albania and had concluded Iran was behind the “reckless and irresponsible” attack and subsequent hack-and-leak operation.
The government’s decision was formally delivered to the Iranian Embassy in Tirana, the capital, in an official note, Prime Minister Edi Rama said. All embassy staff, including diplomatic and security personnel, were ordered to leave Albania within 24 hours.
On July 15, a cyberattack temporarily shut down numerous Albanian government digital services and websites.
Rama said an investigation determined that the cyberattack wasn’t carried out by individuals or independent groups, calling it “state aggression.”
“The deep investigation put at our disposal undeniable evidence that the cyberattack against our country was orchestrated and sponsored by the Islamic Republic of Iran which had involved four groups for the attack on Albania,” Rama said in a video statement.
Iran on Wednesday condemned the diplomats’ expulsion, calling the action ill-considered and short-sighted, according to Iranian state TV.
In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry denied Tehran was behind any cyberattack on Albanian government websites, adding that it’s Iran which is a target of such attacks on its critical infrastructure.
Tirana said it was working with Microsoft and the FBI in an investigation into the cyberattack.
Mandiant, a leading U.S. cybersecurity firm, expressed “moderate confidence” last month that the attackers were acting in support of Tehran’s anti-dissident efforts.
A group calling itself “HomeLand Justice” claimed credit for the cyberattack that used ransomware to scramble data. Ransomware is best known for its use in for-profit criminal extortion, but is being increasingly wielded for political ends, particularly by Iran.
The claim by “HomeLand Justice” came on a Telegram channel in which documents purported to be Albanian residence permits of members of the Iranian opposition group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq group — best known as MEK — were posted, along with video of the ransomware being activated. The channel alleged corruption in the Albanian government and used hashtags including #Manez.
Albania, a NATO member since 2009, shelters about 3,000 Iranian MEK dissidents who live at Ashraf 3 camp in Manez, which is 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of Tirana.
“This activity poses an active threat to public and private organizations in other NATO member states,” Mandiant said. “As negotiations surrounding the Iran nuclear deal continue to stall, this activity indicates Iran may feel less restraint in conducting cyber network attack operations going forward.”
At the time, the Albanian government said the hackers’ methods was identical to attacks last year in other NATO countries, including Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Belgium.
Rama on Wednesday accused Tehran of recruiting one of the most notorious international cyberattack groups that was involved in similar attacks on Israel, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait and Cyprus. He said Tirana had shared the data and the investigation results with strategic partners and NATO countries.
The Biden administration said it supported the move by Albania to cut ties with Tehran.
“The United States strongly condemns Iran’s cyberattack,” National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement. “We join in Prime Minister Rama’s call for Iran to be held accountable for this unprecedented cyber incident.”
“The United States will take further action to hold Iran accountable for actions that threaten the security of a U.S. ally and set a troubling precedent for cyberspace,” Watson said.
Albanian Foreign Minister Olta Xhacka said Tirana “communicated closely with our partners, at NATO and the European Union, and also at the bilateral level, and asked for their support in Albania’s decision-making and, no doubt, for the future to address such kind of threats the best way possible.”
“The aggressiveness of the attack, the level of attack and moreover the fact that it was a fully unprovoked attack left no space for any other decision,” Xhacka said.
Mandiant Vice President John Hultquist told The Associated Press that the attacks on Albania and an earlier one on Montenegro show how “critical government systems in NATO countries are vulnerable and under attack.”
“The attack on Albania is a reminder that while the most aggressive Iranian cyber activity is generally focused in the Middle East region, it is by no means limited to it,” Hultquist said. “Iran will carry out disruptive and destructive cyberattacks as well as complex information operations globally.”
In July, MEK had planned to hold the Free Iran World Summit at the Manez camp with U.S. lawmakers among the invitees. The meeting was canceled “for security reasons and due to terrorist threats and conspiracies.”
In two separate instances in 2020 and 2018, Tirana expelled four Iranian diplomats for “threatening national security.”

South Carolina U.S. Senate Candidate: ‘Treat White People Like Sh*t’
Krystle Matthews: “I keep them under my thumbs … otherwise they get outta control like kids.”
Published
35 mins agoon
By
FITSNewsI am not easily offended. In fact, the first time I heard the recording of South Carolina state representative and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Krystle Matthews saying black people needed to “treat white people like sh*t,” I just shook my head.
I don’t think anyone should treat anyone else like that… no matter what they look like, who they worship, where they live or who they love.
But Matthews’ comment didn’t particularly offend me …
“I’m no stranger to white people, I’m from a mostly white town,” Matthews said in the video clip, which was posted online by Project Veritas on Wednesday afternoon. “And let me tell you one thing: You oughta know who you’re dealing with, like … you gotta treat them like sh*t, I mean … that’s the only way they’ll respect you.”
“I keep them right here, like under my thumbs,” Matthews continued. “That’s where I keep it, like … you have to, like, otherwise they get outta control like kids.”
Yeah, as the father of seven white kids I had a little fun with that comment …
(Click to view)
(Via: FITSNews/ YouTube)
Seriously, though … it takes a lot more than that to piss me off. And unless you are in the business of fomenting mindless outrage, it should take a lot more than that to piss you off, too.
Sticks and stones, amiright?
But as our director of special projects Dylan Nolan pointed out, there is a flip side to this story that is worth considering: What if a white candidate for the U.S. Senate said this about black people?
Yeah … they would never work again. They would be canceled faster than a Richard Belzer sitcom.
Matthews could certainly say that as recently as 2001 the “Republican” party in South Carolina featured a former segregationist, Strom Thurmond, as its senior U.S. senator. She might also point out that thousands of black Americans were indeed under the thumb of slaveholders – something I wrote about just last week.
Here’s the key question, though … does that give Matthews a right to be racist to white people today?
Matthews – who is campaigning against U.S. senator Tim Scott – can certainly run for office as she sees fit. Hell, the Democrats’ other top tier statewide candidate is pissing off black people. And old people. Meanwhile, the national standard bearer for the party is pissing off anybody who didn’t vote for him.
Stay tuned … this news outlet has heard from several state lawmakers (of both parties) who are preparing responses to Matthews’ comments.

TCRA: Be environmentally conscious when disposing of e-Waste
Tuesday September 06 2022
Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) has made it clear that it is committed to controlling electronic waste in order to protect the environment from electronic waste, particularly when electronic equipment reach the end of their service life.
The objective, according to the country's communications regulator, is to ensure that risks associated with improper disposal of electronic devices is adequately mitigated.
Eng Saddath Kalolo, Manager of the Management of Communications and Internet at TCRA, insisted that the authority has obligations to coordinate the management of electronic device when it has reached the end of its useful life, as specified in the Electronic Communications and Postal Act (EPOCA) of 2010 through improvements made in 2019.
"To ensure that this obligation is observed, we collaborate with a number of entities and stakeholders concerned with protecting the environment, including the Office of the Vice President- Environment Division, the Ministry of Information, Communication, and Information Technology, the National Environment Management Council (NEMC), the ICT Commission, and private sector entities responsible for collecting electronic waste, to name a few," he said.
The Electronic and Postal Communications (Electronic Communications Equipment Standards and E-Waste Management) 2020 regulations require TCRA to play a coordination role in the management of electronic waste.
This is because the amount of electronic trash produced by increased use of communication devices like laptops, iPads, smartphones, and related communication equipment is growing along with new information and communication technology.
According to studies, most users in the industrialised world like to keep up with current technology, so they discard their outdated devices and ship them to less developed countries where they are utilised as second-hand electronics, contributing to the rapid accumulation of e-waste.
The Electronic and Postal Communications (Electronic Communications Equipment Standards and E-Waste Management) 2020 regulations have directed the responsibilities of various stakeholders including those importing electronic equipment into the country as well as establishing a procedure for collecting electronic waste to enable careful management of the waste of electronic information, TCRA has worked hard to manage the implementation of this regulatory responsibility," said Kalolo
It will be remembered that environmental pollution from the inconsiderate disposal of electronic waste has led the United Nations to insist on the control of the disposal of such waste, whereby Kalolo said that TCRA has the responsibility of controlling electronic waste in accordance with the guidelines of the United Nations through the International Organization for Communications-ITU.
TCRA has called upon various stakeholders of the environment and citizens in general to play a role in environmental protection through the correct disposal of electronic waste.

Wednesday, September 7, 2022 – Some historians are claiming that Jesus Christ was the first person to play cricket and baseball.
Both baseball and cricket are bat-and-ball sports played between two teams who take turns batting and fielding.
The claim was made after Historians Tom Holland, Dominic Sandbrook and John Hotten got together to speak on the ‘Rest Is History’ podcast, where they discussed who was the first recorded player of the game.
During the podcast, Holland said;
“Do you know who it was? It’s a big name. It’s Jesus.
“Shall I tell you what Armenian professor Dr Abraham Terian thinks it came from?
“He found in the manuscript library of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem an eighth century copy of a much earlier gospel which described the infancy of Jesus.”
He also spoke about how the game we know as cricket today more or less derived from the game Jesus played.
Holland added;
“And in this gospel Jesus is described as playing something faintly similar to cricket, i.e people throwing balls and he’s hitting it – and the catch is Jesus, when he chases the ball, can run onto the sea.”
The Gospel itself in which this claim originated from apparently translates as;
“He (Jesus) would take the boys to the seashore and, carrying the playing ball and the club, he would go over the waves of the sea as though he was playing on a frozen surface, hitting the playing ball.
“And watching him, the boys would scream and say: ‘Watch the child Jesus, what he does over the waves of the sea!’
“Many would gather there and, watching him, would be amazed.”

Sue Bird just knows how to win. That’s what she does. It’s what she has always done. Few in sports can rival the success the point guard has had in women’s basketball. Bill Russell and Serena Williams come to mind.
Still, despite decades of success the G-O-A-T narrative is relatively new.
The Greatest Of All Time chatter seemed to pick up traction about the time the 5-foot-8 unselfish floor general stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight a few years ago.
“Sue to me in some ways is an example, or is an illustration of how the league has grown. she came in when it was just a few years old and there was no social media then and Sue was a much more private person then,” Storm owner Ginny Gilder said. “Sue really has found her voice in the last five or six years, and the league has found its voice.”
Bird’s career came to an end Tuesday night with the Seattle Storm’s 97-92 home loss to Las Vegas in Game 4 of the semifinal series. The 41-year-old Bird had eight points and eight assists.
Bird has been more outspoken off the court on various issues, including social justice, LGBTQ issues and women’s rights over the last few years since she started dating her fiancee, soccer great Megan Rapinoe.
“I felt like I was open. Everyone in my life knew. I just hadn’t had this conversation with a reporter,” Bird told The Associated Press in 2018 about her sexuality “I understand now by saying it publicly you can have an impact. That’s what we’re talking about right now.”
People have a history of listening to what champions have to say — Russell won 11 NBA titles and Williams has 23 grand slam tennis titles — particularly when they win the right way.
Bird captured two college national titles at UConn, four WNBA championships with the Seattle Storm and five Olympic gold medals with the U.S. That doesn’t include the countless titles she won while playing overseas in the Russian league during WNBA offseasons or the five FIBA World Cup championships she won.
One of the most beloved players in women’s basketball, the guard with the nerdy sense of humor doesn’t have the public swagger of her friend and fellow basketball superstar Diana Taurasi.
Bird also doesn’t have an MVP trophy, though her value has never been questioned. Her greatness comes from putting teammates in position to do great things. The Storm saw it and they drafted her No. 1 in 2002, and she has spent her entire WNBA career in Seattle.
Bird is part a rare club; a group of professional basketball players to play 20-plus years with the same organization, including Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki.
“The bond she has with Seattle, that is a very special thing,” said Dan Hughes, who coached Bird for a couple of seasons as well as on the Olympic team in 2021. “In a major league city that has football, had basketball, has baseball has all those kind of sports. has a university close, there’s nothing quite like what she’s created.
“In that community, there are people that all have their Sue Bird story. People identify with her in Seattle and that doesn’t happen very often. When it does it’s pretty special.”
Like other aging champions in Serena, who indicated she is done with competitive tennis, and Allyson Felix, the track star who also retired this year, Bird didn’t let her career end without putting up a fight.
She hit a 3-pointer in Game 3 that gave Seattle the lead with 0.8 seconds left only to see Las Vegas hit a shot at the buzzer to send the game to overtime where the Aces pulled away for the win.
Bird had a rough finale to her career scoring just eight points on 3 of 8 shooting.
The loss ended a ride she has shared with Taurasi, also a UConn alum.
“Looking back on it, it’s been incredible to be in a job with your best friend for 20 years,” Taurasi said. “You don’t get to do that, most people don’t get to do that in any job, let alone basketball. So, it’s been an incredible journey.”
One that has made Bird — the WNBA’s career assists leader — one of the most popular and respected players to ever play in the league.
After Bird announced this would be her final season, fans flocked to watch her play one last time. Storm road games routinely drew the largest crowds of the season for the host team, including 14,162 who came to see Bird’s final game in Phoenix against Taurasi.
It’s an admiration that carries over to her peers.
“When you play with her and are in her presence as a teammate, you have an appreciation of so much for what she brings,” said Jen Rizzotti, who coached her on the 2021 Olympic team. “She is so well respected, the players in the league talk so highly about her and look up to her.
And of course, the way Bird carries herself would make any parent proud.
“To see what she’s accomplished, I can’t say enough about her,” said Bird’s mother, Nancy. “It’s amazing, she’s always loved the sport.”
Bird has managed to literally share her love of the game with others.
“She’ treated people the right way and led the right way,” Rizzotti said. Bird “has been so unselfish in a way that made other players look really good, it’s hard for anyone to dislike her.”

Fans' Choice Player of the Week: Catholic QB Daniel Beale
BATON ROUGE - High school football season is back, which means we have first WBRZ Fans' Choice Player of the Week, and the winner is Catholic QB Daniel Beale who threw for 274 yards and four total scores in a narrow Bears defeat.
At Catholic High, Beale is known for being cool, calm and collected, leading the Bears to two straight state titles and never folding under pressure.
"When I'm on the field, I'm focused just on what I need to do to get the job done. People see it as cool under pressure, but it's just what has to happen," Beale said.
Part of Beale's toughness comes from having three older brothers that played on the offensive line for Catholic. Beale says that not only helped him mentally, but also understand the position that protects him.
"My three older brothers, everything's always been, I wouldn't say a fight, but a competition. Actually kind of helps me playing because I would say I know much of the line stuff, and when the o-linemen don't know what to do. They can look back and most of time I know what I'm talking about."
With this being Beale's third year as the starter, the Bears have opened up the playbook for him, allowing him more control of the offense.
"I think what people need to understand is you know, Daniel does a lot of checking at the line of scrimmage for us, you know, whether it be checking protections or and getting us in different route concepts on Friday night. I mean, he's calling the route concepts that are getting Shelton Sampson open for touchdowns or Daniel Harden. So he does a great job of knowing what's going on and we give him a ton of autonomy in this offense," Catholic head coach David Simoneaux said.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Emmanuel Sanders would rather chase his young kids around now than hunt down any more passes over the middle.
The veteran wide receiver announced his retirement Wednesday after a 12-year NFL career that included six seasons in Denver, where he helped the Broncos win Super Bowl 50.
“The game of football is tough on the body, and you know I lost a close friend in Demaryius Thomas,” who died last December of a seizure, Sanders said. “And for me, it’s about longevity of life now. I had a heck of a career, 12 years, three Super Bowls. I feel like what else do I have to prove?
“I wake up in the morning, drop the kids off at school. I’m making sandwiches for my daughter. I see the beauty in that,” Sanders said. “And I’m happy. So for me, there’s never really a ‘right’ time to hang it up. But I’m happy to hang it up now.”
Sanders said he plans to do some television broadcasting in retirement.
Sanders started his career in Pittsburgh in 2010 as a third-round pick out of SMU and he joined the Broncos as a free agent in 2014 after coming close to signing with the rival Chiefs — he was at their headquarters about to sign with Kansas City when John Elway called him with a better offer.
Teaming up with Thomas and Peyton Manning, he called Denver “wide receiver heaven” upon his arrival in Colorado and over the next three years he’d catch 279 passes for 3,847 yards and 21 touchdowns.
He played in three Super Bowls, with the Steelers as a rookie, the Broncos and the 49ers, who acquired him from Denver midway through the 2019 season.
Sanders, who played for the Saints in 2020 and the Bills in 2021, finished his career with 704 receptions for 9,245 yards and 51 touchdowns in the regular season and another 52 catches for 622 yards and a touchdown in the playoffs.
At 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, Sanders was viewed as a slot receiver coming out of college, but in Denver he successfully lined up outside opposite Thomas.
“Any time I go out in public the first thing somebody tells me is you do not look like an NFL receiver,” Sanders said. “And I’ll tell them, ‘Go look on YouTube. You’ll see me coming across the middle and I’m taking every hit, I’m making every catch.’”
At his retirement news conference Wednesday, the Broncos displayed a photo of Sanders and Thomas doing “snow angels” in the blue and orange confetti after beating Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship to reach Super Bowl 50.
Sanders called it one of the highlights of his career.
Another came two weeks later when he helped the Broncos win Super Bowl 50 over the heavily favored Carolina Panthers.
“I gave the game everything that I had,” Sanders said, “and the game gave it back to me.”

The Masked Singer is making some major changes. On Wednesday, Fox announced that season 8 of the competition series will feature an all-new format, which will include double unmaskings and new celebrity singers in every episode.
Every episode will feature several performances with disguised celebs, but, unlike past seasons, only one contestant will move on from each episode. The studio audience will vote for their favorite, and the singer with the least amount of votes will unmask mid-show.
The unmasked celeb will get a front row seat to watch the rest of the competition and the second unmasking, meaning they won’t have to wait to find out what celebrity they were competing against.
Next, the top two singers face off in a Battle Royale performance of the same song, and the winner will be crowned the King or Queen of The Masked Singer and move on to the next week’s episode against new competition, while the loser will unmask. The three finalists left standing after each round will compete in the semifinals.
Season 8 will introduce all-new themed episodes, including Vegas Night, Comedy Roast, Hall of Fame, Muppets Night, Andrew Lloyd Webber Night, TV Themes, ’90s Night, Thanksgiving and Fright Night.
The record-number 22 Masked Singers -- who boast a combined 32 GRAMMY nominations, 16 Emmy wins, eight Gold albums, four Golden Globe nominations, 42 books, 10 Teen Choice Awards, and five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- will be hiding behind disguises including Bride, Avocado, Venus Fly Trap, Sir Bugaboo, Scarecrow, Hedgehog, and Mummies.
The new season will also welcome unmasked celebrity guest appearances by stars such as Donny Osmond, Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Muppets, Will Arnett, Leslie Jordan, Joel McHale, Tori Spelling, Jon Lovitz, Jodie Sweetin, Carrot Top, Blue Man Group, Lance Bass, Danielle Fishel, Sheila E. and Drew Carey.
Season 8 of The Masked Singer will premiere Wednesday, Sept. 21 on Fox.

Canada knife attack: Police say final suspect dead from self-inflicted wounds
The final suspect in a stabbing rampage that killed 10 people in and around a Canadian Indigenous reserve died of self-inflicted wounds after his car was run off the road by police Wednesday following a three-day manhunt, officials said.
Myles Sanderson, 32, was found near the town of Rosthern in the province of Saskatchewan as officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle being driven by a man armed with a knife, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.
Officers rammed Sanderson’s vehicle off the road, said an official who was familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to talk publicly.
The official said the fugitive's injuries were self-inflicted, but he didn’t have further details on when the injuries were inflicted or when he died.
Video and photos from the scene showed a white SUV off to the side of the road with police cars all around. Air bags had deployed in the SUV. Some photos and video taken from a distance appeared to show Myles Sanderson being frisked.
His death comes two days after the body of his brother, 30-year-old Damien Sanderson, was found in a field near the scene of their rampage, which also wounded 18 people. Police are investigating whether Myles Sanderson killed his brother.
Some family members of the victims arrived at the scene Wednesday, including Brian Burns, whose wife and son were killed.
"Now we can start to heal. The healing begins today, now," he said.
The stabbing rampage raised questions of why Myles Sanderson — an ex-con with 59 convictions and a long history of shocking violence — was out on the streets in the first place.
He was released by a parole board in February while serving a sentence of over four years on charges that included assault and robbery. But he had been wanted by police since May, apparently for violating the terms of his release, though the details were not immediately clear.
His long and lurid rap sheet also showed that seven years ago, he attacked and stabbed one of the victims killed in the weekend rampage, according to court records.
Canadian Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said there will be an investigation into the parole board's assessment of Sanderson.
"I want to know the reasons behind the decision" to release him, Mendicino said. "I'm extremely concerned with what occurred here. A community has been left reeling."
Investigators have not given a motive for the bloodshed.
The Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service said nine of those killed were from the James Smith Cree Nation: Thomas Burns, 23; Carol Burns, 46; Gregory Burns, 28; Lydia Gloria Burns, 61; Bonnie Burns, 48; Earl Burns, 66; Lana Head, 49; Christian Head, 54; and Robert Sanderson, 49, One was from Weldon, 78-year-old Wesley Patterson.
Authorities would not say how the victims might be related.
Mark Arcand said his half sister Bonnie and her son Gregory were killed.
"Her son was lying there already deceased. My sister went out and tried to help her son, and she was stabbed two times, and she died right beside him," he said. "Right outside of her home she was killed by senseless acts. She was protecting her son. She was protecting three little boys. This is why she is a hero."
Arcand rushed to the reserve the morning of the rampage. After that, he said, "I woke up in the middle of the night just screaming and yelling. What I saw that day I can’t get out of my head."
As for what set off the violence, Arcand said: "We’re all looking for those same answers. We don’t know what happened. Maybe we’ll never know. That’s the hardest part of this."
Court documents said Sanderson attacked his in-laws Earl Burns and Joyce Burns in 2015, knifing Earl Jones repeatedly and wounding Joyce Burns. He later pleaded guilty to assault and threatening Earl Burns’ life.
Many of Sanderson's crimes were committed when he was intoxicated, according to court records. He told parole officials at one point that substance use made him out of his mind. Records showed he repeatedly violated court orders barring him from drinking or using drugs.
Many of Canada's Indigenous communities are plagued by drugs and alcohol.
"The drug problem and the alcohol problem on these reserves is way out of hand," said Ivor Wayne Burns, whose sister was killed in the weekend attacks. "We have dead people, and we asked before for something to be done."
Myles Sanderson's childhood was marked by violence, neglect and substance abuse, court records show. Sanderson, who is Indigenous and was raised on the Cree reserve, population 1,900, started drinking and smoking marijuana at around 12, and cocaine followed soon after.
In 2017, he barged into his ex-girlfriend’s home, punched a hole in the door of a bathroom while his two children were hiding in a bathtub and threw a cement block at a vehicle parked outside, according to parole documents.
He got into a fight a few days later at a store, threatening to kill an employee and burn down his parents' home, documents said.
That November he threatened an accomplice into robbing a fast-food restaurant by clubbing him with a gun and stomping on his head. He then stood watch during the holdup.
In 2018, he stabbed two men with a fork while drinking and beat someone unconscious.
When he was released in February, the parole board set conditions on his contact with his partner and children and also said he should not enter into relationships with women without written permission from his parole officer.
In granting Sanderson "statutory release," parole authorities said: "It is the Board’s opinion that you will not present an undue risk to society."
Canadian law grants prisoners statutory release after they serve two-thirds of their sentence. But the parole board can impose conditions on that freedom, and inmates who violate them — as Sanderson did more than once — can be ordered back to prison.
Sharna Sugarman, who was organizing a GoFundMe for the victims, questioned the parole board for releasing him and wondered why Sanderson was still on the loose so many months after he was deemed "unlawfully at large."
"That’s just egregious to me," said Sugarman, a counselor who counted one of the stabbing victims as a client. "If they claim that they’ve been looking for him, well, you weren’t looking that hard."

(The Car Connection) — Jaguar finds itself in the midst of an electric transformation. Like many other automakers, ranging from Dodge to Volvo, the British luxury brand shrinks its lineup of gas vehicles as it plans a big and bright, but still distant, electric future. Three new electric crossover SUVs are planned to launch by 2025, but Jaguar will shift away from the I-Pace and into a more ultra-luxury class with an estimated starting price exceeding $100,000 and doubling that for top performance grades.
In the immediate future arriving in dealerships now, the 2023 Jaguar lineup stays the same, if not a bit thinner. All models will have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, as well as Amazon Alexa through Jaguar’s Pivi Pro infotainment system. Also standard on all models except for the F-Type sports car is adaptive cruise control. Jaguar streamlines powertrain options on its low-volume models and raises prices by about $1,500 across the board. Its excellent 5-year/60,000-mile warranty remains, and it includes scheduled maintenance for the same period of time.
Here’s what’s new for the 2023 Jaguar lineup. Prices include a $1,275 destination fee, except where noted.
– The small crossover SUV gets standard adaptive cruise control that restarts from a stop on its own and a new wheel package option.
– The P250 SE shares a 2.0-liter turbo-4 that makes 246 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque with the F-Pace and XF. The 300 Sport is no longer offered. The E-Pace starts at $49,175, which is $1,100 more than last year.
– The five-seat crossover SUV comes with three engine choices and standard AWD across five trims, including a new P550 SVR Edition 1988 that celebrates an XJR that won the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 1988 edition has a special color combo and is a limited run of 394 units, which represents the number of laps the XJR completed in its winning endurance race.
– The bestselling Jaguar comes with a 2.0-liter turbo-4 making 246 hp and 269 lb-ft in base P250 form for $53,675, or the P250 S for $57,275.
– A mild-hybrid with both a turbo- and supercharger added to a 3.0-liter inline-6 makes 395 hp and 406 lb-ft in P400 R-Dynamic S guise. It costs $66,075.
– The range-topping P550 SVR has the F-Type’s supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 and a starting price of $90,775. The Edition 1988 jumps to $111,275.
– The five-seat electric crossover SUV now has wireless smartphone connectivity, bucket sport seats, and new colors.
– Sold only in HSE trim with a 246-mile range and a 90-kWh battery pack feeding a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that generates 394 hp and 512 lb-ft, the 2023 I-Pace HSE costs $72,575, which is a $1,400 increase from last year.
– The sports coupe and convertible carries over with a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 making 444 hp and 428 lb-ft in P450 form with rear- or all-wheel drive. Jaguar tunes that engine to 575 hp and 516 lb-ft in the F-Type R. There is no R-Dynamic model for 2023.
– F-Type pricing increased between $300 and $5,200 over last year, with the P450 RWD starting at $74,675, and AWD adding a whopping $10,500. Convertible versions are $3,300 more. The R tops the lineup at $109,775; the convertible adds $2,700 more.
– The mid-size sedan carries over with P250 S and P250 SE grades powered by the same 2.0-liter turbo-4 as the F-Pace, or a P300 R-Dynamic with AWD making 296 hp and 295 lb-ft.
– Prices increase $1,700 over last year: The P250 S costs $48,275, the P250 SE costs $51,575, and the P300 R Dynamic costs $53,975.

Bizarre moment Jetstar passenger is kicked off a flight to Bali for lighting a cigarette in his SEAT while the plane was delayed on the tarmac
- Holidaymakers on a flight from Melbourne to Bali were heavily delayed
- Part of the reason was because a middle-aged man lit a cigarette on board
- He was escorted off the plane by federal police for breaking a key flying rule
Holidaymakers on a flight from Melbourne to Bali have called out a man who delayed their flight for lighting a cigarette in his seat as they waited for the plane to take-off.
A TikTok video recorded by Sinead Merrett showed the moment the middle-aged male was escorted off the flight by Australian Federal Police officers.
'When your flight to Bali is already delayed and this guy decides to light a dart so we then have to wait for the police to escort him off,' she wrote.
Jetstar flight JQ1035 had passengers boarding the flight on Tuesday at 3pm before it was delayed on the tarmac, with the cigarette-lighting experience only further causing problems.
A TikTok video recorded by Sinead Merrett showed the moment the middle-aged male was escorted off the flight by Australian Federal Police for making the brazen mistake
The flight still had not left the tarmac by 7pm, had to re-fuel in Darwin before landing in Bali at 12.51am on Wednesday.
Others commented on Sinead's videos by saying there was 'always one' passenger willing to bend the rules.
'One night flying out of Bali an idiot lit up a cigarette on the stairs while the plane was refuelling, he didn't see anything wrong with it,' one man wrote.
'For Christ's sakes. Wear a nicotine patch if you know you smoke and can't last without punching a dart,' said another.
A third added: 'No Bintangs for you buddy'.
A Jetstar spokesperson confirmed the man behind the delay 'lit a cigarette on board the aircraft prior to departure'.

'Smoking, vaping or the use of electronic cigarettes is not permitted on any Jetstar aircraft, in Australian airport terminals or on the tarmac,' a spokesperson said.
'The passenger was escorted off the flight and the AFP were called. Safety is our first priority and our no smoking policy is strictly enforced.'
'Australian Federal Police can confirm officers were called to a flight waiting to leave Melbourne Airport on September 6,' the AFP said.
'Police were responding to allegations of a man smoking on board a flight. The man was escorted off the plane without further incident.'
It comes as thousands of Australians have been left stranded in Bali after a week of Jetstar cancellations and delays.
Since the start of September flights have been cancelled every day, with some reports saying up to 4,000 people are stuck on the holiday island.
Journalist Carly Douglas is one of them and details what happened, hour by hour.
Despite a bit of Bali belly, some lost cash, sunburn and a few hangovers, my girls trip to Bali last week was smooth sailing.
But when it came to flying home, it was anything but.

Along with hundreds of other Aussies, my five friends and I had our 12.45pm flight from Denpasar to Melbourne delayed over six hours on Sunday afternoon.
Our complaints fade into insignificance when compared to the week long delays some passengers on Jetstar flights between Bali and Australia are facing at the moment.
During our lengthy wait at the airport on Sunday, I recorded a few horror stories from frustrated passengers.
Saturday 9pm:
Notification that our Jetstar flight home from Bali had been delayed two hours.
Sunday 7.30am:
Luckily, I have a responsible friend who checked the Jetstar app and saw another two hour delay. No notification came through.
Sunday 11am:
Time to rebook our taxis to the airport; another delay. But still no notification.
The nightlife may be good in Bali (pictured), but not if you are stuck there when you want to get back to Australia
Sunday 2pm:
Arrive at the airport.
'We apologise for any inconvenience caused,' reads our $10 refreshment voucher - to spend at select food stores inside the airport.
The wait begins.
Sunday 4pm:
Frustrated by another 45 minute delay, my friend shows me an Instagram post from Channel 7 presenter Jacqui Felgate with a message from a Jetstar passenger about their flight being cancelled on September 1.
'Now our flights have been cancelled again flying Tuesday night at 10.35pm however there are flights being cancelled every day,' it reads.
'I have epilepsy my medication is due to run out Tuesday.'
'It's such a stressful time.'
A text message (pictured) from Jetstar telling the receiver their flight has been delayed
Speaking to about a dozen people at the airport - many of whom are unusually willing to speak their minds to a journalist pestering them for a comment - say they are beyond fed up.
Meagan Mulder and her family, who had enjoyed a trip with 60 friends and family, say all had gone smoothly until it was time to fly home.
An email from Jetstar about a flight delay
'We had 12 friends who were on the midnight flight last night, they had their flight cancelled, they can't get another flight anywhere for seven people until Friday this week, so they've had to get more accommodation and everything,' she said, as her exhausted kids listened in.
'We got another three friends who were able to get a flight to Brisbane this Tuesday, a stop over in Brisbane and then fly to Melbourne the next day, so they'll be home Wednesday.'
She explained that another four friends were forced to book flights with another airline, forking out over $10,000 to make a detour to Kuala Lumpur.
'For us, it's a seven hour delay but we're getting home.'
5pm:
Spotted a Jetstar pilot walking through the airport, I ask him about the delays.
A variety of issues are causing the cancellations and delays, including engineering problems with the aircrafts and staff shortages, he reports.
A comment then pops up from a flight crew member on Ms Felgate's post saying three aircraft had been taken out of play completely due to engineering issues, and some engineers were on strike.
Chatting to more passengers, some of whom had taken to lying on the floor, it appeared notifications about the multiple delays had not come through via email or text, and they had been waiting at the airport for hours.
Others were questioning why passengers were told about the delay so late when Jetstar knew about the issues with the aircrafts.
Channel 7 presenter Jacqui Felgate posted this message to social media about what is happening in Bali

6pm:
Due to board but it's looking like it's going to take a little longer than expected.
One frustrated passenger, Pauline, attempts to block her young children's ears as she spoke her mind about the airline.
She has been trying to fly home from Bali for two days after losing her grandpa on Friday.

I'm exhausted. I just want to f***ing get home,' she said as she queues up to board the flight.
'We need to get home. And to top it all off my grandfather died on Friday,' she said.
'All flights have been sold out, delayed, cancelled, we've been trying since Friday to get on the flight.'
Pauline's brother, who was also due to be flying home, had his flight cancelled.
'My brother has been delayed quite a few times. Flights cancelled, been delayed numerous times,' she said.

'Hopefully (he'll) get a flight out tomorrow morning. Two day delay for him.'
Kylie, who is travelling with her young kids and husband, also tells me they had only been notified about the first two hour delay and struggled to find further information online.
'The most frustrating thing was that we weren't told about three of the delays, no information, no updates. Even online, you couldn't find the information,' she said.
6.45pm:
Bumping into Meagan and her family in the queue, including her seven year-old son who has a serious grumpy face as he clutches his neck pillow, she said she'd read the comments on Ms Felgate's post.
Among the hundreds of comments, many from Jetstar passengers who were stuck in Bali or had family and friends who were stranded, people were asking why passengers didn't have travel insurance.
'Everyone has travel insurance and yes they (their friends) will be credited eventually but there were no flights at all for them to get on.'
7pm:
A man sitting next to me on the flight tells me about an 80-year-old man who he had met in the airport.
He was overwhelmed with emotion after not being notified about his flight changes.
He doesn't want to speak on record but he's visibly furious that an elderly man was given little information or help about the cancellation and delay of his flight.
Chatter can be heard from passengers in surrounding seats about never flying Jetstar to Bali again.
2am:
Touch down!
But we aren't getting off the flight just yet.
Told to remain in our seats while the airline contacts Canberra officials about an on-flight incident, passengers are getting agitated.
Flight attendants are looking very nervous as a bunch of bingtanged-single-wearing Aussies calming down their small children with braided hair shake their heads and play a guessing game as to what has happened.
I ask one couple behind me whether they'd be flying Jetstar to Bali again.
'No chance,' she said.
'We should've flown Garuda.'
A flight attendant, who expressed his own frustrations at the delay, tells the woman behind me to fly with a different airline to Bali next time.
He said a child has developed a rash on the flight and Canberra officials needed to be contacted before we get off.
And then finally, at 3am - 10 hours after our original arrival time - we are off the plane.
We were the lucky ones though - we'd managed to get on a flight the same day.
Flights between Australia and Bali have been cancelled every day in September due to engineering issues
Thousands of Australians have been left stranded in Bali after a week's worth of Jetstar night flights were cancelled and several more delayed.
Since the start of September flights between Australia and Bali have been cancelled every day due to engineering issues and staff shortages.
Neil Mitchell grabbed the story on Monday morning, reporting on 3AW that anywhere between 1,000 to 4,000 people are stuck in Bali.
A Jetstar spokesperson confirmed that some flights had been cancelled between Australia and Bali's capital Denpasar.
'Unfortunately, we've had to cancel some services between Australia and Denpasar due to engineering requirements,' they said.
'We sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience this disruption has caused our customers.
'Our teams are looking at every option to get passengers on their way as soon as possible, including seats on Qantas flights and operating ad hoc services where possible.
'A flight credit or refund will also be made available to passengers who no longer wish to travel.'
Arriving home at 5am this morning, I can't say I'd be too inclined to jump on a Jetstar flight to Bali again.

(Motor Authority) — Officials in New York are mulling a bill that would mandate speed limiters in new vehicles that would be set to the local maximum allowable limit. The system would use GPS and traffic sign recognition technology to determine the speed limit.
The system has an appropriately benign and Orwellian name: Active Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).
Senate Bill S9528 was introduced by Manhattan State Senator Brad Hoylman on Aug. 12 and, if passed, would require any vehicle manufactured or registered in the state of New York to be fitted with the ISA system, starting from Jan. 1, 2024. It cites the results of a study that show such a system could reduce traffic fatalities by 20%.
The bill also calls for existing active safety systems like automatic emergency braking, active lane control, blind-spot monitors with pedestrian detection, driver drowsiness detection, and even a data event recorder to be mandated from the same date.
If you’re thinking this sounds like a bad science fiction movie, New York City is already running a trial with 50 vehicles from the city’s fleet fitted with an ISA system. The trial will run for six months.
“Speeding ruins lives, so we must take action to prevent it, and New York City is leading by example by implementing new technology to reduce speeds on city fleet vehicles,” Eric Adams, New York City’s mayor, said in a statement.
Critics of the system argue that in certain circumstances it’s vital to be able to go past the limit, such as during merging. A solution here could be to introduce the limit in stages. For example, first, there could be a warning bell if the speed limit is exceeded. Then there could be a second, more serious warning, which if still ignored would then see the vehicle’s speed automatically reduced.
Of course, it’s not hard to imagine officials also using the system to constantly monitor a driver’s speed and automatically issue fines should the speed limit be exceeded.
A saving grace, as Jalopnik notes, is that safety standards for new vehicles, unlike emissions standards, are set at the federal level, which brings into question whether New York officials will be able to implement the bill even if passed.
The bill is currently In Committee, which means it’s under consideration. It has not passed the New York State Senate or State Assembly, and if it passes both it would have to be signed into law or vetoed by the governor.

A Security Expert, Dr Adam Bonaa has revealed that Chinese national, Huang Ruixia alias Aisha Huang was being protected by some ‘big men’ in the country when she re-entered, pointing some traditional and political leaders.
According to him, some of these ‘big men’ visited Aisha Huang at her residence and therefore knew she was in the country but failed to report her.
Background
Aisha Huang had been charged with three counts of undertaking small-scale mining operations, contrary to Section 99 (1) of the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703); providing mining support services without valid registration with the Minerals Commission, and contrary to the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703), and the illegal employment of foreign nationals, contrary to the Immigration Act, 2000 (Act 573).
Following the filing of a nolle prosequi to discontinue the trial by state prosecutors, she was deported in December 2018.
But recently, she and three others were arrested and remanded for allegedly engaging in illegal mining in Ghana.
The accused persons were charged for engaging in sale and purchase of minerals without a licence.
According to the prosecutor, Aisha Huang returned to her country [China] and changed her identity only to come back to Ghana to commit the same crime of which she escaped prosecution earlier.
According to the prosecution, the suspect applied for a Togo visa and went through the borders into Ghana and back to the galamsey business in a town in the Ashanti Region.
Security Expert
Speaking on Atinka TV’s morning show, Ghana Nie with Ekourba Gyasi Simpremu, Dr Adam Bonaa said an information revealed to him indicated that this was not the first time Aisha Huang was entering the country after her deportation in 2018.
He also alleged that when she entered the country for the first time, at some point, the security was pursuing her and then someone from within gave her a hint and she escaped again.
He described the situation as worrying, saying it makes the people doubt the security system of the country.
“Information I have gathered is that while she was staying in Kumasi in the Ahodwo Area, some of the leaders visited her. Some of the leaders in the Ashanti Region, some political leaders visited her at Ahodwo and it is sad. It is sad that some of these people will come in the support of some of us, to accommodate her in a situation like this, breaking our mining laws, breaking our immigration laws, and just daring all of us that she can do as she wishes,” he said.

Updated September 7, 2022 at 7:31 PM ET
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Enforcement of Michigan's 1931 abortion ban was blocked Wednesday by a judge who replaced her temporary order with a permanent injunction.
Michigan Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher ruled the Michigan Constitution's due process clause is expansive enough to cover reproductive rights.
"The Michigan Constitution protects the right of all pregnant people to make autonomous health decisions," she wrote, and later: "Exercising the right to bodily integrity means exercising the right to determine when in her life a woman will be best prepared physically, emotionally and financially to be a mother."
Gleicher's initial temporary order pre-dated the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling in June.
Dr. Sarah Wallett, the chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood of Michigan, says this means abortion rights are protected while there's still a lot of litigation pending.
"But this does help reassure providers and patients who are really worried that that might not always be the case in Michigan," she told the Michigan Public Radio Network.
Michigan's dormant abortion law would threaten abortion providers with felony charges.
Gleicher's opinion was somewhat technical. It did not directly bar prosecutors from filing charges against abortion providers. Instead, she instructed Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to inform prosecutors that abortion rights remain protected. Nessel has already said she won't file charges under the 1931 law.
The distinction is meaningless, according to attorney David Kallman, who represents county prosecutors who say they are allowed to file criminal charges under the 1931 law.
"Unbelievable," he said. "Talk about a shift and a change in our constitutional form of government. I didn't realize the state of Michigan now, according to Judge Gleicher, controls and runs all 83 county prosecutors' offices in this state."
This is one of several abortion-related legal cases in play in Michigan. It could join at least three decisions that have been appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court. There's also a separate case that seeks to put an abortion rights amendment on the November ballot.
The court is expected to rule this week on a challenge to the petition campaign, which gathered nearly 750,000 signatures — a record — in an effort to put a proposed reproductive rights amendment on the November ballot.

An adorable video of retirement home residents participating in a TikTok trend has gone viral, as they gave Gen-Z a run for their money while branding those without 'teeth' and 'carrying hard candies' a 10.
The TikTok trend where users give different reasons why someone should be knocked up or down from a certain attractive level went viral after many began using it to poke fun at their exes - and now, these retirement home members put their own spin on it.
In a video, which garnered over three million views, shared by Carveth Care Center, located in Onatario, Canada, the endearing elders took part in the trend and revealed that 'everyone is a 10 in [their] eyes.'

'He's an eight but only wears his teeth at meals,' said one of the members in the video.
Another woman melted the hearts of everyone on social media when she hilariously responded: 'I'll take him whether he has teeth or not, I'll take a 10.'
The retirement home residents continued to leave social media in a fit of laughter as they branded those who only talk about the weather a 'two' and dubbed someone who 'never wears his hearing aids' a one.
But don't worry, the residents also gave out a few high numbers such as a seven and eight for those who 'always carry candy' and who 'never lose a game of euchre.'
The Carveth Care Center has been known to post hilarious videos of their residents participating in the popular Gen-Z trends, and has even said its goal is to 'bridge the generational gap.'

WASHINGTON — A panel of federal health advisers voted Wednesday to recommend approval for an experimental drug to treat Lou Gehrig’s disease, a remarkable turnaround for the much-debated medication that was previously rejected by the same group.
The Food and Drug Administration advisers voted 7-2 that data from Amylyx Pharma warranted approval, despite ongoing concerns about the strength and reliability of the company’s lone study. The vote is not binding and the FDA will make its final decision by the end of the month.
Despite a negative review published by FDA’s internal scientists ahead of the meeting, a majority of the outside panelists said Amylyx had presented enough evidence to suggest the drug is probably helping patients live longer.
“To deprive ALS patients of a drug that might work, it’s probably not something I would feel terribly comfortable with,” said Dr. Liana Apostolova of Indiana University’s School of Medicine, who voted for approval. “At the previous meeting it wasn’t that clear and it’s still questionable.”
Amylyx also appeared to benefit from an unusual exchange in which a company executive - at the FDA’s request - committed to pull the drug from the market if its benefits aren’t confirmed by a large, ongoing study.
“I’m somewhat assured that if an approval is issued it can be withdrawn in the future,” Apostolova noted.
Wednesday’s vote concluded a rare second meeting to review several new statistical analyses submitted by Amylyx in support of the treatment’s benefit in slowing disease and extending life. The same group of neurology experts narrowly voted against the drug in March, due to concerns about missing data and implementation errors in the company’s study.
The FDA has approved only two therapies for the disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, which destroys nerve cells needed for basic functions like walking, talking and swallowing.
ALS patients and their families have rallied behind Amylyx’s drug, launching an aggressive lobbying campaign and enlisting members of Congress to push the FDA to grant approval.
The ALS drug review is being closely watched as an indicator of FDA’s flexibility in reviewing experimental medications for the terminally ill and its ability to withstand outside pressure.
Dr. Billy Dunn, FDA’s neurology review chief, opened the meeting by detailing the “concerns and limitations” with Amylyx’s data, while emphasizing the need for new treatment options.
“We are highly sensitive to the urgent need for the development of new treatments for ALS,” Dunn said.
Dunn also noted that a larger Amylyx study being conducted in the U.S. and Europe could provide “more definitive results” by 2024.
In a highly unusual move, Dunn suggested the agency might be more willing to approve the drug if Amylyx would commit to withdrawing its medication if the ongoing 600-patient trial fails to show a benefit. He then called on the company’s co-founders to publicly commit to that step, and Amylyx co-CEO Justin Klee said the company would voluntarily withdraw its drug in that scenario.
The FDA has the power to force companies to pull drugs from the market, though it’s generally faster if drugmakers voluntarily take that step. In cases where companies resist removal the regulatory process can drag on for years.
“I think the FDA - with all due respect - significantly understates the complexity and likelihood of their pulling the product from the market,” said Dr. Caleb Alexander of Johns Hopkins University, one of the two panelists who voted against the drug.
Amylyx conducted one small, mid-stage trial of its drug that showed some benefit in slowing the disease, but it was plagued by missing data and other problems, according to FDA reviewers.
“The final result - for a single study - is borderline and not very statistically persuasive,” FDA statistician Tristan Massie told panelists.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts, company says follow-up data gathered after the study concluded showed the drug extended life. Patients who continued taking the drug survived about 10 months longer than patients who never took the drug, according to a new company analysis.
Panelists favoring the drug cited that data, along with the drug’s mild side effects, to suggest there would be little downside for patients even if it doesn’t ultimately slow ALS.
“The drug is not harmful - it seems like it has a benefit - there’s no safety signal here,” said Dean Follmann, a biostatistician with the National Institutes of Health.
Earlier Wednesday, more than 20 ALS researchers, patients and family members told the advisers they supported approval. The agency has also received more than 1,200 written comments, largely from ALS patient advocates.
“I’m asking you to approve it because I know it works. It’s extending my life and I want that for others,” said Greg Canter, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2018 and participated in Amylyx’s study. He credits the drug with improving his lung capacity and slowing his functional decline.
Amylyx’s medication comes as a powder that combines two older drugs: one prescription medication for liver disorders and a dietary supplement used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Hanging over the review is FDA’s controversial approval of the Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm last year, which was reviewed by the same agency scientists and outside advisers.
In that case, the FDA disregarded the overwhelmingly negative vote by its outside advisers, three of whom resigned over the decision. The agency’s approval - which followed irregular meetings with drugmaker Biogen - is under investigation by Congress and federal inspectors.

WATERBURY, Conn. — The Litt Ultra Lounge in Waterbury has had its liquor permit suspended by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection following a Saturday shooting that left one person wounded and a New Jersey man dead.
The lounge will also be closed until further notice.
Waterbury Police Chief Fernando Spagnolo said that the police department has been required to assign additional personnel to the lounge and the area around the premise in order to “maintain an increased” and “almost constant police presence,” which has put a drain on limited police resources and diverts police from other areas of need in the city.
"The continued operation of Litt Ultra Lounge and the criminal activity that occurs there has a negative impact on both public safety and the quality of life in the City of Waterbury," said Chief Spagnolo. “Incidents like the one that occurred over Labor Day weekend at Litt Ultra Lounge are a preventable tragedy.”
“We expect our permittees to take seriously their responsibility to protect public health and safety, and it is clear from this incident and others that Litt Ultra Lounge is unable to maintain its commitment to that responsibility. This senseless act of violence resulted in the loss of a life we cannot get back, and my thoughts go out to the victim’s friends and family. Thank you to the Waterbury Police Department for their ongoing work to address issues at this establishment," said Commissioner Maureen Magnan.

HK judge finds five guilty over children’s books
HONG KONG – Hong Kong judge has found five speech therapists guilty of publishing seditious children’s books.
Their books – about sheep trying to hold back wolves from their village – were interpreted by authorities as having an overtly political message.
After a two-month trial a government-picked national security judge said their “seditious intention” was clear. It comes amid a crackdown on civil liberties since 2020, when China imposed a new national security law. Beijing has said the law is needed to bring stability to the city, but critics say it is designed to squash dissent.
The law makes it easier to prosecute protesters and reduces the city’s overall autonomy, while also increasing Beijing’s influence over political and legal decision-making in the city.
The group of five speech therapists, who were founding members of a union, produced cartoon e-books that some interpreted as trying to explain Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement to children. In one of the three books a village of sheep fight back against a group of wolves who are trying to take over their settlement. In another one, the enemy attackers are portrayed as dirty and diseased wolves. “The seditious intention stems not merely from the words, but from the words with the proscribed effects intended to result in the mind of children,” wrote Judge Kwok Wai-kin in his judgement, AFP news agency reports.
He said the books’ young readers would be led to believe that Chinese authorities were coming to Hong Kong with the “wicked intentions” of ruining the lives of the city’s inhabitants.
Lai Man-ling, Melody Yeung, Sidney Ng, Samuel Chan and Fong Tsz-ho, who have already spent more than a year in jail awaiting the verdict, will be sentenced in the next few days.
The group, who are aged between 25 and 28 and had pleaded not guilty, face up to two years in prison. “In today’s Hong Kong, you can go to jail for publishing children’s books with drawings of wolves and sheep. These ‘sedition’ convictions are an absurd example of the disintegration of human rights in the city,” said Gwen Lee from rights group Amnesty International. The group was charged under a colonial-era sedition law which until recently had been rarely used by prosecutors.
Also on Wednesday, the head of Hong Kong’s journalist union was arrested just weeks before he was due to leave the city to take up a fellowship at Oxford University.
Ronson Chan, 41, was taken away by police while reporting on a meeting of public housing owners – his employer Channel C said.
Police confirmed they had arrested an individual after he refused to show his ID and acted “uncooperatively”.

IDEA highlights the “exemplarity” of the exercise of democracy in Chile
Miami, Sep 7 (EFE) .- The former heads of state and government of the Democratic Initiative of Spain and the Americas (IDEA) underlined on Wednesday their appreciation to the people of Chile for “the renewed, exemplary and peaceful exercise of their democracy” and the “exemplarity” that it represents for Latin America.
In a statement regarding the plebiscite on the proposal for a new Chilean Constitution, which was rejected by a majority, the former presidents highlighted “the compliance that the President of the Republic (Gabriel Boric) made expressly with the popular will.”
The statement mentions the fact that the leftist Boric “had publicly championed and made his own the fundamental text” rejected by 62% of those who participated in the consultation held last Sunday, September 4.
“It is worth emphasizing the historical significance of what happened with the constitutional process and its final outcome, due to its exemplary nature for Latin America, even more mediating the purpose of Chileans to continue advancing towards a constitutional modernization shared by all,” underlines the statement. .
At this point they ask “the political leadership to advance in the parliamentary and legislative consensus necessary to urgently address the expectations of well-being and progress that, in an urgent way, the population demands.”
IDEA recalls that in recent decades “different processes of constitutional change or reform marked by their partisan nature” have taken place in Latin America.
Some of these processes were “encouraged from power to liquidate the principle of alternation” and left aside that a Constitution is “a pact of guarantees of fundamental rights and assurance of all rights for all people, within a State of Law committed to the idea that majorities cannot crush minorities in a democracy.”
The former presidents do not avoid in their statement criticism of the text rejected in Chile, which they consider to be “in line with other similar ones approved and in force in countries where democracy has disappeared, deteriorated or lost its quality.”
This statement was signed by former Chilean President Eduardo Frei Tagle; Jose Maria Aznar (Spain); Óscar Arias S., Rafael Ángel Calderón and Miguel Ángel Rodríguez (Costa Rica); Felipe Calderon (Mexico); Alfredo Cristiani (El Salvador), and Iván Duque M., Andrés Pastrana and Álvaro Uribe Vélez (Colombia).
Also Federico Franco and Juan Carlos Wasmosy (Paraguay); Lucio Gutiérrez, Jamil Mahuad and Osvaldo Hurtado (Ecuador); Luis Alberto Lacalle Herrera (Uruguay); Mauricio Macri (Argentina); Carlos Mesa and Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga (Bolivia), and Mireya Moscoso and Ernesto Pérez Balladares (Panama).

Ironheart Adds Shakira Barrera to Marvel's Disney+ Cast
Marvel Studios' Ironheart has found its latest cast member. On Wednesday, reports revealed that GLOW and Sprung actress Shakira Barrera has joined the cast of the series in a currently-unknown series regular role. Barrera will join a cast that is led by Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams / Ironheart, with Anthony Ramos as The Hood, and Lyric Ross, Shea Couleé, Zoe Terakes, Alden Ehrenreich, Manny Montana, and Harper Anthony cast in currently-unknown roles. Production on the series is currently underway.
The Ironheart Disney+ series was first confirmed during 2020's Disney Investor Day presentation. The series will follow Riri (Thorne), a teenage girl and genius inventor who goes on to create the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man. Snowpiercer writer, playwright, poet, and educator Chinaka Hodge will be serving as the series' head writer, with Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes directing.
"I was at home in Delaware and I got a call asking if I would like to play this role. It was the best phone call I could have ever received," Thorne told Empire Magazine in an interview last year. "I was so shocked, in fact, that there was a considerable lag in the conversation! (laughs) I was waiting for them to say, like, 'Oh, we'll send you the sides' or, 'Get your tape over to us.' But there was none of that. It was just like, 'Would you like to do this?' It was probably the most unique experience I've ever had because there was no audition at all."
Before the Ironheart series, Thorne's portrayal of Riri Williams is expected to make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler is also involved in Ironheart in a producing capacity.
"It's incredible people, Chinaka Hodge, Ryan Coogler and just, like, a dope squad... you know, Dominique Thorne... and I just feel blessed and grateful," Ramos said in a previous interview. "I'm so excited... I used to be in the gym like, 'C'mon, Marvel, call... c'mon, Marvel, call. Let's go!'"
What do you think of Barrera joining the cast of Ironheart? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
Ironheart is expected to debut on Disney+ in late 2023. If you haven't signed up for Disney+ yet, you can try it out here.

Sunken, not stirred. Float another day. Lifeboats are forever. You only sink once. Rockracker. Sink and let swim. The man with the sinking boat. No Mr. Boat, I expect you to float!
In case my puns were not enough of a giveaway, a James Bond-themed superyacht called "007" hit a bit of a rough patch in waters off the coast of a Greek beach. The 160-foot superyacht, which is reportedly owned by a yet-to-be-named Swiss businessman, apparently had a GPS malfunction. The GPS malfunction caused the vessel to navigate to within just 50 feet of the shore where it hit rocks and started taking on water before capsizing then sinking.
Greek coastguard answered the distress call and subsequently rescued five passengers who were stranded just off the beaches of Kolona Bay on the island of Kythnos. At the time of the rescue the boat was already capsized. Within just a few hours it was fully submerged.
A drone captured the insane scene from above:
The red barrier you see around the yacht in the video above is an anti-pollution barrier laid out by the coast guard in case any of the ship's fuel begins to leak. Thankfully, the boat's fuel tank did not puncture at any point and there was apparently no damage to the local coastline.
Before sinking, 007 was a five-cabin vessel that could comfortable sleep up to 11 passengers and a light crew. As you can see in the video above, the boat also features a helipad.
Here's what she looked like in better times, back in June 2020:

A Las Vegas-area elected public official was arrested Wednesday and identified by police as the suspect in the fatal stabbing of a veteran newspaper reporter whose investigations of the official’s work preceded his primary loss in June.
Clark County Public Administrator Robert “Rob” Telles, a Democrat, was taken into custody at his home by a police SWAT unit hours after investigators served a search warrant and confiscated vehicles in the criminal probe of the killing of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German, Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the newspaper.
Telles, 45, had been a focus of German’s reporting about turmoil including complaints of administrative bullying, favoritism and Telles’ relationship with a subordinate staffer in the county office that handles property of people who die without a will or family contacts.
The newspaper’s executive editor, Glenn Cook, said in a statement that “the arrest of Robert Telles is at once an enormous relief and an outrage for the Review-Journal newsroom.”

“We are relieved Robert Telles is in custody and outraged that a colleague appears to have been killed for reporting on an elected official,” Cook said.
Telles did not immediately respond Wednesday to telephone messages at his county office, and it was not immediately clear following his arrest if he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. The county administrator office was closed.
German joined the Review-Journal in 2010 after more than two decades at the Las Vegas Sun, where he was a columnist and reporter who covered courts, politics, labor, government and organized crime.
U.S. & World
Telles, a lawyer who practiced probate and estate law, won his elected position in 2018, replacing a three-term public administrator. He lost his June party primary to Assistant Public Administrator Rita Reid. Telles’ term expires Dec. 31.
In the weeks before the election, German bylined reports about an office “mired in turmoil and internal dissension” between longtime employees and new hires under Telles’ leadership.
Telles blamed “old-timers” for exaggerating the extent of his relationship with a female staffer and falsely claiming that he mistreated them.
“All my new employees are super-happy and everyone’s productive and doing well,” he told the newspaper. “We’ve almost doubled the productivity in the office.”
Telles later posted Twitter complaints about German, the Review-Journal reported, including claims in June that German was a bully who was “obsessed” with him.
German, a reporter with a reputation for tenacity, was working on follow-up reports, the newspaper said Wednesday, and recently filed public records requests for emails and text messages between Telles and three other county officials including Reid and consultant Michael Murphy.
Murphy, the former Clark County coroner hired to address complaints about leadership in the public administrators’ office, did not immediately respond to a telephone message.
German’s body was found Saturday morning outside his home. Police said he apparently was killed Friday and characterized the attack as an isolated incident. The Clark County coroner ruled that German died of “multiple sharp force injuries” and ruled the case a homicide.
After police asked Monday for public help to identify a suspect, developments came quickly.
Police on Tuesday showed a brief video of a possible suspect walking on a sidewalk clad in bright orange “construction attire” and distributed a photo of a distinctive red or maroon GMC Yukon Denali SUV with chrome handles, a sunroof and a luggage rack, saying it may have been linked to the case.
Telles was seen in newspaper photos washing a similar vehicle parked in his driveway on Tuesday, and KTNV-TV reported the vehicle was towed away after police arrived on Wednesday.
German died of “multiple sharp force injuries,” the Clark County coroner said, and the case was ruled a homicide.

McDonald’s adds new dessert to fall menu
McDonald’s is bringing back a "fresh take" on a pastry it hasn’t served since the ‘80s.
The fast food chain will re-introduce the cheese danish — a flaky pastry with a cream cheese filling — at participating restaurants starting Sept. 14. The company calls it a "tasty way to switch up seasonal routines in a world of pumpkin, maple and pecan." It will be served all day.
Fall is also in full swing at Starbucks, which brought back its seasonal pumpkins spice lattes on Aug. 30. The drink combines espresso and steamed milk with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove flavor, along with some real pumpkin. It’s Starbucks’ most popular item.

The danish rollout comes a day before the big return of Taco Bell’s Mexican pizza on Sept. 15. Customers can get their hands on a free Mexican pizza by spending $20 or more in orders at Uber Eats or Postmates.
The accompanying Mexican pizza musical also debuts Sept. 15 on TikTok Live. The 21-person cast features Dolly Parton and Grammy Award-winning rapper Doja Cat. Parton, 76, teased the musical with an Instagram post that showed the "personal and confidential" script.

New U of Manitoba students breathe sigh of relief as school year starts with in-person classes
Wednesday marks 1st day all students at Manitoba's largest university welcomed back since before pandemic
Manitoba's largest university is welcoming all of its students back for in-person classes this week for the first time since the start of the pandemic — a relief for some U of Manitoba newbies who say they struggled with virtual learning in high school.
For some, like first-year computer science student Isaac Nimmagadda, the buzz of activity and the campus environment were a bit overwhelming on Wednesday, as the 2022-23 post-secondary year officially got underway.
"It's a lot different than high school and so I'm kind of just figuring it out as I go," said Nimmagadda.
The hurried rush of students moving between buildings and navigating their new schedules looked as close to normal as it has since before March 2020, when the first cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the province.
The U of M allowed all vaccinated students and staff back on campus last November.
At the time, the university said 72 per cent of staff and 81 per cent of the student body had declared they were immunized against COVID-19.
Some first-year students CBC spoke with on Wednesday shared how challenging it was to learn virtually in their last years of high school. Others emphasized the social perks of being back on campus, including networking and building relationships.
First-year student Pauline Lucena said her senior year of high school was thankfully in-person, after a long stretch of virtual learning earlier in the pandemic. But she said she felt a distance from her friends while learning remotely before that.
"I don't think I would've been able to handle online classes for my first year of uni," said Lucena, who is in the faculty of arts and has an interest in sociology.
"One of my main goals going into uni is to make a lot of long-lasting connections, so that's really important to me."
Walnain Baloch, a first-year student studying criminology in the arts faculty, echoed Lucena's sentiment.
Baloch was relieved to be on campus after taking a gap year last year, following her high school graduation in spring 2021.
"I realized I just couldn't focus in online classes," said Baloch, 19. "It kind of put a wedge in my plans, and also, I just couldn't retain any information that was being given in online classes. It was just really hard."
Brandy Usick, the university's executive director for engagement and academic success, said the keenness to be back on campus is already showing through. More than ever, students are already getting involved in campus life, Usick said.
"You can tell that they're excited — they're asking about opportunities to connect with other students, how to get involved in different student clubs."
One leftover from the time of widespread restrictions is masking. The U of M is among the few post-secondary institutions in Manitoba keeping its indoor mask policy in place. Booth University College is another retaining its mandate.
St. Boniface University suspended its mask rule as of Sept. 1. The University of Winnipeg, University College of the North, Red River College Polytechnic, Brandon University and Canadian Mennonite University previously said they are not requiring mask use on campus.
Usick said the decision at U of M was made to protect the community.
Agam Kahlon, another first-year student, said he wasn't totally prepared for having to wear masks in class again, coming from a high school that did away with that mandate.
"I don't like it," he said with a laugh. "It's just because literally the first lecture was so hot, and I was wearing a mask and I could not handle it."
Kahlon, who is taking a mix of science courses and is also focused on improving his times in track and field, said being on campus didn't feel like a huge leap. His experience at the Maples Met School prepared him well for post-secondary school, he said.
Like Kahlon, Nimmagadda said the continuation of a mask policy also caught him off guard, but he so far also feels well-supported by U of M faculty and staff.
Despite feeling a bit overwhelmed, he says it was important for him that classes be in-person again.
"When I was online, I didn't get that same quality of education and I don't think I learned as well," he said. "So while I'm here, especially that I'm paying for it, I'd rather get a good university experience."

Members of the City Council have agreed to support a resolution favoring the construction of a $16 million affordable senior housing project in central Joplin.
Developer Kevin Parker will include the resolution in applications for tax credit funding he will seek for the project.
A recent city housing study said there needs to be more new housing, and affordable housing is the largest growing sector of the housing market, Parker said at a council meeting Tuesday night. "So this does answer the call to some degree," he said.
He has obtained land from the Joplin Redevelopment Corp., the city's tornado land bank, at 18th Street and Delaware to build the complex.
Though city documents had said 48 units were planned, Parker said there actually would be 54. He said the complex would be called the Delaware Commons and consist of one- and two-bedroom apartments available to those age 55 or older. A few units will be rented at market rates but most rents will be determined by income and run from 30% to 60% of the price of market rates.
The tract on which Parker plans to build could hold 100 units, he said, but he opted for a lower density development of 54 units designed with a lot of green space between the development and already existing homes in that neighborhood. The developer would include a walking trail and storm fortified commons room for activities and a storm shelter.
Parker said he has been successful with several past developments supported by the city and by residents. He has built the Montana Place Commons, Memorial Hills and now has the Memorial Hills II complex under construction on 26th Street, west of Maiden Lane. There is already a waiting list of potential renters for Memorial Hills II, he said.
The council also:
• Tabled rezoning of 1911 and 2001 N. Range Line Road from single-family residential to commercial at the request of the owners and city staff. The owners are the Range Line Golf Center Inc. and Allen K. Schmidt, who want to sell the property to a restaurant developer. There was opposition by residents in the area, and the owners plan to revise the request, which will go back to the Planning and Zoning Commission, the council was told.
• Advanced rezoning of property on Florida Avenue north of Newman Road from C-1 to C-0 to build two duplexes rather than apartments to better suit the size of the land available. The change is sought by Kamran Zafar.
• Advanced a change in the zoning of property at 2601 E. 20th St. from single-family residential to neighborhood commercial-planned development.
The council also advanced a contract for $166,500 with Allgeier-Martin Associates for engineering work on the Golf Links lift station that is part of the sanitary sewer system.

4 Dolphins change jersey numbers before season opener
When rookies are drafted or signed to their organization, they typically have limited numbers that they can choose from due to their being many players on the roster already. Miami Dolphins rookie linebacker Channing Tindall, who was the team’s first draft pick in 2022, got No. 51 when he arrived in South Florida after wearing No. 41 during his collegiate career at Georgia. No. 41 was being worn by linebacker Darius Hodge, but Hodge was recently released during the roster cutdowns.

Kansas City Southern (KCS) announced today the first return to the rails of the KCS Holiday Express train since the start of the pandemic in 2020. This year, the festive, six-car holiday train with intricate displays inside and out will bring Santa Claus and his elves to visit children and families in 20 communities in eight states. See the full schedule here. In addition, the KCS Holiday Express project will continue its tradition of charitable giving to The Salvation Army.
The KCS Holiday Train will be arriving in Texarkana on Monday, December 5 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
“KCS is thrilled that we can once again run the Holiday Express train and stop in communities along our rail network,” said president and CEO Patrick J. Ottensmeyer. “We are grateful to the donors who continued to support the virtual Holiday Express program the last two years, and look forward to another successful fundraising effort to help The Salvation Army help people who need it most during the holiday season.”
Over 21 years, the charitable component of the KCS Holiday Express project has raised well over $2.6 million. Anyone interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to the 2022 KCS Holiday Express fundraising effort may donate here.
“The support of the KCS Holiday Express goes a long way to delivering Christmas to thousands of children who need it most,” said The Salvation Army of Kansas and Western Missouri divisional commander Major Kelly Collins. “From Texas to Missouri and points beyond, all of our officers, staff, volunteers, and especially the people we serve are extremely grateful for the 22-year-long commitment by KCS and the Holiday Express.”
The KCS Holiday Express was built on the tradition of the Santa Train, which ran on a segment of the network bought by KCS in 1997. In 2000, a group of warm-hearted employees noticed that the Santa Train was the only Christmas some kids had, and that some kids did not have essential items like coats, hats and gloves, so they committed to elevating the project. In 2001, volunteers transformed a retired freight train to the KCS Holiday Express experience that thousands of people enjoyed for 19 years prior to the start of the pandemic.
In the first 19 years, the KCS Holiday Express train stopped in 20 or more communities in five or six states between Thanksgiving and Christmas. At each stop, visitors could board the train, meet Santa and his elves and tour the inside of three cars of the festive six-car train. These events return in 2022 after not occurring the previous two years. The KCS Holiday Express is free to the public at all of its stops.
Headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., KCS is a transportation holding company that has railroad investments in the U.S., Mexico and Panama. KCS’ North American rail holdings and strategic alliances with other North American rail partners are primary components of a unique railway system, linking the commercial and industrial centers of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

Female teachers and girls as young as 10 are being subjected to daily sexual harassment in Sydney schools, with some teachers so frustrated they're considering walking off the job.
As leadership in some of Sydney's private boys' schools warn parents about the dangers of their sons watching internet personality Andrew Tate videos, young girls are being joined by female teachers in speaking up about shocking sexual harassment.
Some teachers have reported being called obscene names on several occasions, while others have been told sexually explicit jokes by boys as young as 10.
The alert has been sounded by schools after The Daily Telegraph revealed a misogynistic, homophobic and anti-Semitic chat group created by a group of Knox Grammar students.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Tate, a controversial international influencer and former professional kickboxer, has been criticised for his views on women, including that they should "bear some responsibility" for being raped.
In videos shared rampantly on TikTok, which thousands of Australian children have access to, Tate espouses that women "belong in the home", "can't drive", and are a "man's property".
He was banned from Facebook and Instagram, where he had racked up five million followers, in August.
Scots College's head of students James Bowles warned parents about Tate's viral videos that had clocked up billions of views on TikTok in a newsletter to parents last week.
He cautioned that students were at risk of being influenced by Tate's rants advocating violence against women, the illegitimacy of depression and "a slew of other insensitive and uneducated opinions".
Trinity Grammar deputy head Bradley Barr also issued a warning about Tate, saying his "reach probably extends into many of your homes and to the social media feeds of many of your sons".
Collective Shout movement director Melinda Tankard Reist, who has been talking to students and teachers in public and private schools across New South Wales for a decade, says the stories are getting worse and the children are getting younger.
Along with female students as young as 10, Ms Tankard Reist said female teachers were reporting disturbing sexual harassment from young boys, with some being brought to tears.

Advertise with NZME.The speaker, writer and media commentator said female students were in "deep distress" over Tate's influence.
"For the last few months around the country, without exception, they will ask me: 'Will the boys be spoken to about the influence of Andrew Tate?",she said.
"They want to know what's been done to expose his harmful teachings."
Girls are reporting that boys are treating them "more harshly, more aggressively," she said.
"They're expecting that they should be able to, quote-unquote, put girls in their place, that girls are lesser than them and don't deserve to be treated," Tankard Reist said.
"I have girls telling me that boys expect to be able to show constraint and strangle them."
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Tankard Reist has no doubt the problem is getting worse.
"So what grades 5 and 6 girls are telling me used to be what the senior girls told me," she said.
"They're telling me that boys are threatening to rape them.
"Three girls, two weeks ago, told me – they were all 14 to 15 – that boys have threatened to rape their mothers and sisters if they didn't send naked pictures."
She also reported that a group of year 7 girls were offered cash by their male peers to make "porn films for them and their mates".
The women and girls advocate said other female students had told her that they had been subjected to sexual moaning, grunting, and groaning noises made by boys in class, in the schoolyard and on the school bus since they were in grade 2.

Advertise with NZME."This turned into female teachers describing being subjected to these noises as well and I've had more female teachers this year tell me they're leaving the profession because of this," Tankard Reist said.
"Two weeks ago, I was in the Maitland region. They were telling me that every day they are subjected to being called the C-word by boys."
Another teacher told Tankard Reist that she overheard a 12-year-old boy ask another boy, 'How do you know you're having sex'?
"The other 12-year-old boy replied, 'When she starts to cry'.
"I've had young female teachers in tears telling me what it's like to be propositioned by boys," she said, reporting that one teacher had caught boys trying to take photos up her skirt under the desk.
The teachers said they were having difficulty punishing students for this behaviour, reporting a lack of backing from the education department.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."I've had school principals, one of whom came out of the Defence Force and went into teaching, tell me that he found teaching harder than when he was working in the Defence Force because he said even when students are in danger, he's not allowed to suspend or expel them," she said.
Some of the stories Tankard Reist and her team have recorded from female teachers are posted on the Collective Shout website.
"I've been sexually assaulted by two male students, one in grade 10 and one in grade 11 in my second year of teaching (I was 25)," one teacher said.
"It was an awful experience and I didn't feel supported by the all-male leadership team at all."
Another reported that a boy in year 6 class began humping the floor and moaning, with the deputy principal dismissing the behaviour as "age appropriate" and "normal".
"It infuriated me that the behaviour was considered 'normal' and was thus not dealt with by leadership," the teacher said.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."In my opinion, we've done these young boys a huge disservice by not addressing and redirecting these behaviours."
Another woman, who was contemplating moving into the profession, amid massive shortages in the industry, says stories like this have deterred her.
"I thought leaving a construction industry (dominated by male egos, gender pay gaps and gendered promotions) would mean my dignity and sexual harassment would be less of an issue," she commented.
Tankard Reist said teachers feel "hamstrung" about reporting sexual harassment, with some considering leaving the profession because of the lack of protection.
"I'm not blaming the boys. My view is that a sexist culture grooms sexist boys, and Andrew Tate is part of this grooming process," she said.
Tankard Reist said the most popular type of porn videos and content shared among young boys was "rape porn, torture and sadism".
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."And then everyone's surprised at the behaviour of these Knox boys," she said.
"Why are you surprised?
"The global porn industry is the biggest department of education in the world."
The expert has also joined a growing list of psychologists and educators calling out platforms like TikTok as dangerous entities, saying they're "fuelling violence against women and girls".
"They bring together boys, they encourage boys into this herd mentality, this pack mentality, they give them a sense of belonging," she said.
One ballooning online phenomenon that has come under criticism recently is the "incel" or "involuntary celibate" community, a subculture of people, mostly men, who define themselves as unable to attract romantic or sexual partners and express their anger and frustrations online.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Tankard Reist called the growing community "both a repository of these harmful ideas … they broadcast these harmful ideas and draw more boys in, especially disenfranchised boys who always are looking for a tribe".
"We are struggling to raise happy, healthy, resilient, emotionally literate, empathetic, young people," she said.
"We're driving the empathy, especially, out of boys."

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to meet with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, during a visit to the neighboring Central Asian nation of Uzbekistan this month, in what would be his first overseas visit since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Xi, 69, has participated in global gatherings by video link, but his physical absence and those of other top Chinese leaders has thrown a shadow over Beijing’s global political and economic ambitions. Xi has only left mainland China to make a one-day visit to the semi-autonomous city of Hong Kong on July 1 to speak at a ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of its handover from British to Chinese rule. Xi has overseen a sweeping crackdown on civil rights in the city since pro-democracy protests in 2019, with opposition voices either imprisoned, forced into exile or intimidated into silence.
According to Russian media, Xi will attend a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Uzbekistan where he will meet with Putin. The two last met in Beijing in January in Beijing, just weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
On that occasion, they issued a joint statement declaring their relationship had “no limits.” Beijing has since refused to criticize Russian aggression or even describe it as an invasion, while condemning sanctions against Moscow and accusing the U.S. and NATO of provoking the conflict.
WHAT ARE THE STAKES FOR XI GOING ABROAD?
Xi is at a crucial inflection point in his political career as he seeks — and is expected to receive — a third five-year term as Communist Party leader. That’s a break with precedent that has limited members of the party’s all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee to two terms in an effort to prevent a return of the one-man dictatorial rule of the founder of the People’s Republic, Mao Zedong.
The party, which brooks no opposition, has total control over politics, information and the media and Xi faces no open threats. However, discontent has at times been raised over his consolidation of power, a sharply slowing economy, a relentless anti-corruption campaign that has targeted political opponents, and the hard-line “zero-COVID” measures mandating strict lockdowns, quarantines, testing and masking that have taken a toll on the economy and society.
At the same time, relations with the U.S., Australia and much of Europe have deteriorated over China’s human rights record, its often abrasive diplomacy, assertions of sovereignty in the South China Sea and threats to attack Taiwan. Along with COVID-19 travel concerns, all those factors have contributed to Xi’s apparent reluctance to travel overseas for state visits and international gatherings.
WHAT IS THE SCO AND WHAT IS XI HOPING TO GAIN?
Alongside Russia, China dominates the eight-member SCO, which also includes most of the former Soviet Central Asian states, India and Pakistan. China has used the bloc to expand its influence in what was Moscow’s backyard, including taking part in multinational military exercises displaying the capabilities of its fast-modernizing armed forces. China also sees the grouping as a counterweight to NATO and U.S. alliances in the Asia-Pacific.
The dynamic in the region has changed over recent months, however, with the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has drawn tepid support at best from most of the other SCO members. Xi may be hoping a meeting with Putin will bolster domestic perceptions of him as standing up to Western opposition to the Ukraine war and burnish his nationalist credentials at a time relations with the U.S. are growing increasingly tense over trade, technology, Taiwan and other issues.
Coming just ahead of the party congress, the overseas visit would also show Xi is confident of his position and support among the party’s 96 million members, his six colleagues on the Politburo Standing Committee and leaders of the party’s powerful military branch, the People’s Liberation Army. As always, the party remains swathed in a veil of secrecy, and travel by top leaders is almost never announced until the last minute, or even not until they return from their trips.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT XI’S TRAVEL PLANS?
Xi and Putin will meet in the Uzbek city of Samarkand on Sept. 15-16, Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov was quoted as saying by Russia’s state news agency, TASS.
Xi is also expected to attend a summit of the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations in Indonesia in mid-November, bolstering China’s position as the world’s second largest economy and a key link in supply chains for goods from cellphones to dishwashers. Separately, China has told Thailand that Xi will attend a meeting in Bangkok of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum shortly after the G-20, “if he is not preoccupied with other responsibilities.”
Many leaders combine a trip to APEC and the G-20. China has not confirmed that Xi will attend either gathering.

This year’s $300,000 World Series of Warzone tournament didn’t quite go to plan for some of the scene’s top stars like Aydan and ZLaner, as developer errors hard-crashed their games in the final lobby.
Dev errors in Warzone are a tale as old as time. We’ve seen countless variations over the years but when they strike, it’s almost guaranteed your game is set to crash. In some instances they simply boot you to the main menu, in others, the application freezes altogether, requiring a forced reboot.
While it’s frustrating enough dealing with dev errors on an average day, no one wants to see them in the midst of big events. Unfortunately, such was the case on September 7 during one of the biggest events of the year, Activision’s $300K World Seris of Warzone finals.
Despite a solid performance across the first few maps, Aydan’s Trio ultimately had their momentum derailed in the final game. Before they could even drop in, Aydan was forced to close his game.
Immediately notifying the event admins, Aydan pleaded for a quick restart given the match had only just begun. “I’m trying to get them to reset,” he explained on stream. “They said they’re looking into it but the longer we wait, the worse it’s looking.”
After a few minutes of silence, the worst was confirmed. Admins decided against restarting, forcing the remainder of the match to play out with Aydan’s Trio down a member.
“They said they’re not gonna reset it. I’m actually so depressed after that,” he said. “Not even because of the money, I care about my teammates. I know that it means a lot to them so for me to not be in the last game helping, it hurts. I don’t even want to play in the solo game anymore, my whole vibe is chalked.”
Making matters worse in this final lobby of the day, Aydan wasn’t the only unlucky player. OpTic’s own ZLaner was also hit with a similar dev error in the middle of the match.
“$300,000 tournament & I’m dev erroring after I hit my loadout on last game,” he shared on Twitter moments after he was booted from the map. Suggesting a workaround moving forward, ZLaner pitched a long-requested reconnect feature, one that would “combat” the issue of dev errors during high-stakes events like this.
When all was said and done, Aydan, zSmit, and Envailed still managed to finish in fourth place overall, despite the rough final lobby. Meanwhile, ZLaner, Destroy, and Sage finished in 12th with 59 points total.

Second suspect in Canada mass stabbing dies
(CNN) — Myles Sanderson, the other suspect in the Saskatchewan, Canada, mass stabbing, died after suffering medical problems following his arrest on Wednesday, according to RCMP Deputy Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore.
Sanderson was arrested Wednesday after a three-day manhunt, according to a tweet of the Canadian RCMP in Saskatchewan.
The RCMP tweeted that Myles Sanderson was taken into custody around 3:30pm local time. Sanderson had been considered by police to be “armed and dangerous”.
“There is no longer a risk to public safety in connection with this investigation,” the RCMP tweeted.
Sanderson’s arrest came three days after 10 people were killed in the mass stabbing and 18 others were injured. The victims’ ages ranged from 23 to 78, authorities said.
Sanderson and his brother, Damien Sanderson, were identified as suspects shortly after the attacks. Damien Sanderson was found dead a day after the attacks with injuries not believed to be self-inflicted, police said.
Myles Sanderson was wanted on three counts of first degree murder, one count of attempted murder and breaking and entering of a residence.
Police reported a possible sighting of Sanderson in the James Smith Cree Nation on Tuesday, but later determined he was not in the community. The search has expanded to the entire province of Saskatchewan, authorities said.
All but one of the victims are from James Smith’s Cree Nation
The 10 victims are between the ages of 23 and 78, and all but one are from the James Smith Cree Nation Indian community, according to authorities.
The Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service and the RCMP provided the names and ages of the victims in a statement Wednesday, but declined to confirm their relationships. Six of the victims share the last name Burns, two share the last name Head, and one shares the last name of the two suspects in the attacks.
The victims were identified as:
- Thomas Burns, 23 years old
- Carol Burns, 46 years old
- Gregory Burns, 28 years old
- Lydia Gloria Burns, 61 years old
- Bonnie Burns, 48 years old
- Earl Burns, 66 years old
- Lana Head, 49 years old
- Christian Head, 54 years old
- Robert Sanderson, 49 years old
- Wesley Petterson, 78 years old
Petterson is from Weldon, Saskatchewan, while the other nine victims are from the James Smith Cree Nation.
Several relatives of some of the victims spoke at a news conference Wednesday about their loved ones. Saskatoon Tribal Chief Mark Arcand identified Bonnie Burns as his sister and Gregory Burns as his son, saying another of his children was stabbed but survived.
“Let me be honest in saying this, we really don’t know what happened. We only know that members of our family were killed in their own home, in their yard,” Arcand said.
In addition, 18 people were injured in the knife attacks, but authorities will not release their identities. “We can confirm that one teenager was injured and the remaining injured are all adults. We will not confirm other specific ages,” the agencies said.
Three patients were in critical condition and seven were stable as of Tuesday, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
The victims’ information was released as Canadian police continued their search for one of two suspects in the brutal attacks, which spanned 13 different crime scenes on the James Smith Cree Nation and in Weldon, a nearby rural town.
The motive for the stabbings is unknown.
It is not clear what motivated the violence and how or if the brothers knew any of the victims.
Apparently, some victims were chosen, while others may have been targeted at random, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said at a briefing Monday.
It is also unknown if the brothers carried out the attacks at the same time, according to Blackmore.
The first stabbing was reported to the James Smith Cree Nation at 5:40 a.m. Minutes later, several more calls came in about stabbings elsewhere, police said.
The nation has a population of around 3,400 people with around 1,800 members living on the reservation, according to its website.
As of 9:45 a.m., authorities reported casualties at multiple locations, including one in Weldon.
Lydia Gloria Burns, a first responder, was responding to a crisis call when she was caught up in the violence and was killed, her brother Darryl Burns told Reuters, though the agency did not say whether the call was related to the stabbings.
“She was massacred,” her brother Ivor Burns told Reuters.
The discovery of Damien Sanderson’s body a day after the attacks also raised questions about his brother’s involvement in his death. But police said Monday it was not clear if Myles Sanderson was involved.
“It’s an investigative avenue that we’re pursuing, but we can’t say that definitively at this point,” Blackmore said.
The suspect had a “long” criminal history and was released by the parole board.
Blackmore previously said that Sanderson had warrants for his arrest before the stabbings occurred.
“Myles’ history goes back several years and includes crimes against both property and people,” Blackmore said, without elaborating on the alleged crimes.
Sanderson was paroled from the Parole Board of Canada, according to a ruling issued on February 1, 2022.
Under Canadian law, the Correctional Service of Canada must release most offenders to supervision after they have served two-thirds of their sentence, if they have not already been paroled. Offenders serving life sentences are not eligible for legal release.
The board said in the ruling that it did not believe Sanderson would present a risk to the public if released. The decision did take note of his long criminal history and that he was assessed by a psychologist for a “moderate risk of violence.”
“Her criminal history is highly concerning, including the use of violence and weapons related to her primary crimes, and her history of domestic violence that victimized family members, including her children, and non-family members,” the decision says.
In a statement, the Parole Board said it “extends its thoughts to the victims, their families, and all those who have been affected as a result of these horrific and senseless acts of violence.”
Citing the Privacy Act, the board said it could not discuss the details of a criminal’s case.
CNN’s Paula Newton, Tina Burnside, Chuck Johnston, Michelle Watson and Cara Lynn Clarkson contributed to this report.

NEW YORK – Serena Williams' long goodbye to the U.S. Open proved a boon to ESPN.
Facing down the possibility of a first-round knockout, Williams instead gave the sports network four nights of prime-time programming last week, with her eventual loss to Ajla Tomljanovic reaching the largest audience of any tennis match in ESPN's 43-year history.
ESPN happily adjusted on the fly, asking Open officials to move Williams' doubles match with her sister Venus to Thursday evening, and moving a college football game off its main network on Friday to make room for the match with Tomljanovic.
That Friday match reached 4.8 million viewers, peaking at 6.9 million, the Nielsen company said. It beat the previous record-holder, the 2012 Wimbledon men's final between Roger Federer and Andy Murray.
“We knew it was going to be a huge story,” said John Suchenski, ESPN's programming director, on Wednesday. “I'm not sure we knew how much it was going to play out, audience-wise. Obviously, we're thrilled by the numbers.”
Williams' first-round victory over Danka Kovinic last Monday, along with a post-match ceremony, was seen by 2.7 million people — or 289% above comparable first round coverage in 2021, Nielsen said. Wednesday's victory over Anett Kontaveit reached 3.6 million. Thursday's sister act, the first time ESPN has shown a doubles match in prime time, averaged 2.2 million.
Suchenski said he hoped for a “halo effect” that would boost the Open ratings for a Williams-less second week, but ESPN is cognizant of reality.
“The first week was the Serena Open,” tennis analyst John McEnroe said during Sunday's coverage. “Now it's the U.S. Open.”
Among broadcast networks last week, ABC led with a prime time average of 4.2 million viewers. NBC had 2.63 million, CBS had 2.56 million, Fox had 1.6 million, Univision had 1.1 million, Ion Television had 1 million and Telemundo had 860,000.
ESPN led all the cable networks with an average of 2.58 million, Fox News had 2.1 million, MSNBC had 1.36 million, HGTV had 870,000 and USA had 842,000.
The streaming debut of “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” reached an estimated 1.8 million U.S. households last weekend, according to Samba TV. That's Amazon Prime's biggest debut of the year, the research company said.
ABC's “World News Tonight” won the evening news ratings race with 7.2 million viewers last week, Nielsen said. NBC's “Nightly News” had 6 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 4.1 million.
For the week of Aug. 29-Sept. 4, the 20 most-watched programs in prime time, their networks and viewerships:
1. College Football: Notre Dame at Ohio State, ABC, 10.53 million.
2. College Football: Florida St. at LSU, ABC, 7.55 million.
3. “America's Got Talent” (Tuesday), NBC, 6.36 million.
4. “America's Got Talent” (Wednesday), NBC, 5.48 million.
5. “60 Minutes,” CBS, 5.12 million.
6. U.S. Open Tennis (Friday), ESPN, 4.56 million.
7. “Password,” NBC, 3.92 million.
8. “Big Brother” (Wednesday), CBS, 3.8 million.
9. “FBI,” CBS, 3.7 million.
10. “Big Brother” (Thursday), CBS, 3.68 million.
11. College Football: Penn State at Purdue, Fox, 3.51 million.
12. “Tucker Carlson Tonight” (Monday), Fox News, 3.39 million.
13. “Bachelorette: Men Tell All,” ABC, 3.32 million.
14. “Press Your Luck,” ABC, 3.294 million.
15. “Tucker Carlson Tonight” (Tuesday), Fox News, 3.288 million.
16. “Big Brother” (Sunday), CBS, 3.27 million.
17. “Young Sheldon,” CBS, 3.208 million.
18. “The Neighborhood,” CBS, 3.206 million.
19. College Football: West Virginia at Pittsburgh, ESPN, 3.15 million.
20. “American Ninja Warrior,” NBC, 3.14 million.

As late summer saunters into autumn, mullein’s downy green stalks, adorned with sulfur-yellow flowers, strike up from the earth, reminiscent of candlesticks in an ornately decorated church. Verbascum thapsus likely derived its common name “mullein” from the Latin word “mollis,” meaning soft. In fact, the hairs that cover mullein are so soft and flammable they were dried for candlewicks long before the widespread use of cotton. The downy hairs also provide protection from drought and sunburn, enveloping the plant in a soft blanket that both insulates and reflects the sun’s rays.
Mullein originates in Europe but is now found all over the planet, spread by humans who valued it for its hardy nature and myriad uses. The seeds were first brought to the Americas for their potent properties as a fish poison and were used to harvest entire schools of fish at once. Roman women dyed their hair and cloth yellow with a tea made from the flowers, and the leaves have long been used in tea and smoke to treat respiratory diseases in humans and livestock. Common names reflect its many uses; dipped in suet the stalks of “torchplant” formed torches, while Quakers rub “Quaker rouge” on their cheeks to bring out the color for special events.

The Japanese stock market is sharply lower on Thursday, extending the losses in the previous session, with the Nikkei 225 just a tad below the 28,000 mark, following the broadly positive cues from Wall Street overnight, with gains across most sectors, led by exporters and technology stocks, even as the yen continues its plunge to a fresh 24-year lows.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 Index is up 559.87 points or 2.04 percent to 27,990.17, after touching a high of 27,998.31 earlier. Japanese stocks closed significantly lower on Wednesday.

In the banking sector, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial are gaining almost 2 percent each, while Mizuho Financial is adding more than 2 percent.
Among the major exporters, Canon and Sony are gaining almost 2 percent each, while Mitsubishi Electric is adding more than 2 percent and Panasonic is advancing more than 3 percent.

In the currency market, the U.S. dollar is trading in the lower 144 yen-range on Thursday.
On Wall Street, stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading day on Wednesday, regaining ground following the notable downward move seen over the past several sessions.

Euro, EUR/USD, US Dollar, ECB, EUR/JPY, Federal Reserve - Talking Points
- The Euro has had some reprieve against a staunch US Dollar
- A hawkish ECB might suit the Euro against the Japanese Yen
- If the ECB raises rates by 75 bp today, where will it send EUR/USD?

The Euro has found some strength going into today’s European Central Bank (ECB) meeting after better-than-expected Euro wide GDP figures yesterday. The final annualised GDP of 4.1% to the end of July beat forecasts of 3.9%.
The ECB is anticipated to raise rates by 75 basis points according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. The overnight index swaps (OIS) market is slightly less convinced, pricing in a lift of around 67 bps.
Central banks globally are tightening to rein in runaway inflation with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Bank of Canada (BoC) already raising rates this week.
The Federal Reserve have made it clear that they are serious about tackling price pressures. Yesterday we heard from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester and Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard. They both reiterated their hawkish stance.
They presented a view from within the Fed that rates will be notably higher and a cut in 2023 is not currently on the cards. This has pushed Treasury yields across the curve to levels not seen for many years. The 2-year note traded at 3.55% overnight, a yield not seen since before the financial crisis in 2007.
Higher Treasury yields has helped to underpin the US Dollar more broadly and EUR/USD has been under pressure for some time. A problem for the ECB in their fight on inflation is the fragile economic state of the union.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has placed enormous strain on energy supply. The benchmark Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) natural gas futures contract has pulled back from astronomical highs seen in August but remains significantly elevated.
Until late 2021, the contract rarely traded above 25 Euro per Mega Watt hour (MWh). In August it hit a peak of 342 Euro per MWh and is trading near 220 Euro per MWh.
While this is a welcome retracement, at this stage it doesn’t appear to be enough to move the dial on EU CPI expectations.
Last week, EU PPI printed at 37.9% year-on-year to the end of July. The lead-lag effect of PPI into CPI is well understood by central banks and the ECB raising rates today might be joined by several more down the track.
Elsewhere, EUR/JPY is nearing a 7-year high as Japan grapple with their own economic problems. The island nation depends on importing energy and face a similar problem to Europe in that regard.
Additionally, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) are swimming against the tightening tide and doubled down on their yield curve control program (YCC) this week, maintaining loose monetary policy.
A hike from the ECB looks to be playing catch up to the Fed but it would widen a gap with the BoJ. A difference of reaction in EUR/USD and EUR/JPY could reflect that disparity.

According to the latest court document from the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, troubled crypto lender Celsius Network allegedly made “false and misleading assertions” about its financial health and compliance with securities laws.
According to the court document, the bankruptcy cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network Ltd. may have misled investors about its financial difficulties and engaged in the inappropriate manipulation of the price of the platform’s tokens to improve the company’s balance sheet and financials.
The filing was made in support of the United States Trustee’s request to appoint an impartial examiner by the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation. Prior to this, the trustee in charge of Celsius’ bankruptcy case stated that it was looking for an examiner to help gather more details and relieve confusion and concern.
In a statement supporting the Justice Department’s request to appoint an examiner in Celsius’ bankruptcy case, the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation stated that the firm might have been paying yields via a Ponzi-like structure.
At the same time, holders of Celsius Series B shares filed a limited objection to the motion, noting that they did not take a stance on the appointment of an examiner and instead urged that the motion’s scope be narrowed and that the budget be changed to prevent squandering money.
Crypto lender Celsius accused of misleading investors
Based on a preliminary review of financial records, the most recent statement claims that Celsius suffered “huge losses” during the first seven months of 2021 and “two substantial adverse events” in the months of June and July. Furthermore, despite being obligated by state and federal securities legislation to disclose its financial statements, the firm had kept its losses from investors.
The petition also alleged that Celsius may have manipulated the value of its CEL coin. The deed may have “artificially” raised the company’s CEL holdings on the balance sheet.
The document quotes Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky’s blogs and tweets, including one in which he insisted that “all funds are safe” although, according to the document, “the crypto lender was insolvent and depositor funds were not safe.”
According to the filing, the company never earned enough income to maintain the yields being provided to investors.
Further, it stated:
This demonstrates a severe case of financial mismanagement and also raises the possibility that, at least occasionally, yields to existing investors were likely paid using the assets of new investors.
The Texas State Securities Board (SSB) said in a related motion that Celsius had responded to requests for information and documentation insufficiently and slowly and that its assertions of the Debtors’ financial situation in the bankruptcy case had “been contradictory at best.”
The Texas complaint supported Vermont’s allegations and listed other instances where it believed the crypto lender misled the public. It also cited a blog post from June 7 in which Celsius reminded users that despite having just five days left before ceasing withdrawals, it had no issue fulfilling their requests.
The Vermont suit also asserts that Mashinsky openly deceived investors in its regulatory engagements by claiming to have allayed worries from state securities regulators in December.
Vermont claims that Celsius had manipulated the price of its native token were accurate in its petition. More than 40 million CEL tokens were added to Celsius’s holdings between May 2 and July 1, when the firm stopped permitting withdrawals, with more than half of the growth taking place after the site was shut down. According to the authority, Crypto lender Celsius participated in this action at some point in 2021. Without the CEL position, liabilities would have surpassed assets “at least” since February 2019.

Why Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore is nominated for League One manager of the month award
Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore has been nominated for the League One manager of the month award for August alongside three promotion rivals.
The Owls boss oversaw five league matches in the month, winning four and leading his side to within a win of the top of the table as the month turned into September.
Saturday’s defeat to Barnsley may have given the side something of a jolt, but Wednesday are still very well placed in fourth, having already played a number of the division’s stronger sides at this early stage of the campaign.

Sheffield Wednesday new boy shrugs off Hillsborough boos – describes how they’ll bounce back at Plymouth Argyle
Moore is up against Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna, Portsmouth’s Danny Cowley and this week’s opposite number, Plymouth Argyle manager Steven Schumacher. Indeed, the four nominated managers are in charge of the four top teams in the table as things stand.
A press release from the EFL announcing the nominations read on Moore’s nomination: “Play-off defeats can leave a lingering impact.
“In Wednesday’s case, it has left a determination to gain automatic promotion this time, still with the style Moore preaches. Four wins from five games with a clean sheet in each has set them up nicely.”

Wednesday’s only defeat of the month came in trying circumstances as Reece James was sent off at Peterborough United. McKenna and Cowley are surely the favourite for the award having picked up 13 points from a possible 15 in the month and both going unbeaten.
Should Moore win it would be the third manager of the month gong of his career, adding to his April 2018 Premier League award and the Championship award of September that same year, both as manager of West Brom.

S.Korea c.bank says stabilising prices quickly better for long-term growth
SEOUL, Sept 8 (Reuters) - South Korea's central bank said on Thursday it was better for long-term growth to stabilise prices quickly as it gave insight into its decision for an unusually large rate hike in July in its quarterly monetary policy report.
As part of an explanation for the move, it said fast and large rate hikes were needed for now and that the dollar-won exchange rate had also been a factor.
"Once high inflation is permanently set in place, it would require much stronger monetary policy responses, so for now, it is necessary to raise interest rates fast and by a large margin to suppress inflation expectations in a preemptive manner," the central bank said in the report.
"Short-term growth loss is inevitable in the process of responding to high inflation, and based on past experiences, there is more benefit to stabilise prices quickly for growth in the long-run."
The BOK has raised its policy rate by a total of two percentage points to 2.50% since August last year as it tries to tame inflation, which is running near 24-year highs, with the last move a 25 basis point rate increase in August.
It delivered an unprecedented 50-basis-point hike in July - the first and only such move since the BOK adopted the current policy framework in 1999.
Rhee Chang-yong, governor of the Bank of Korea, said at the time his bank would try not to raise interest rates by a bigger margin than the usual 25 basis points when it needs to tighten monetary policy again.
The central bank has said it sees inflation staying at high levels for a longer-than-expected period, as consumer demand remains robust and uncertainty remains high on the supply side after Russia halted gas supplies to Europe.
The BOK said the dollar-won exchange rate was also a factor behind its rare 50-bp rate hike in July, as global peers sped up their tightening cycles.
"As the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary tightening pace accelerates, it is putting additional inflation pressure in other countries via higher exchange rates," the BOK said in the report.
A sharp fall in the South Korean won against dollar in the first half of this year has pushed domestic consumer prices up by 0.4 percentage points, the central bank added. The won fell 8.4% against the dollar over that period.

NEW YORK (AP) — Target is dropping the mandatory retirement age for its CEO, allowing Chief Executive Brian Cornell to stay on for three more years.
Cornell, 63, would have passed the age of 65 in that span.
Cornell took the helm at Target in 2014 when the discounter was grappling with a major data breach that hurt its business. Sales have been climbing steadily through the pandemic but now Target — like many retailers — is grappling with inflationary pressures and big shifts in consumer spending that have taken a toll on profits, which plunged nearly 90% in the fiscal second quarter.
Despite the new challenges, the company is sticking with Cornell.
“In discussions about the company’s longer-term plans, it was important to us as a board to assure our stakeholders that Brian intends to stay in his role beyond the traditional retirement age of 65,” said Monica Lozano, the lead independent director of Target’s board in a release on Wednesday.
The move is part of a growing trend among corporations to drop the age requirement of CEOs amid stronger corporate governance standards and a shift in perception about the age appropriateness of a top executive, according to experts.
“People are working later in their life,” said Andy Challenger, senior vice president of Challenger Gray & Christmas, a global outplacement firm. “The common perception of when someone should retire has changed,” although he noted that many law firms and accounting firms still have mandatory requirements for their partners.
Amber Clayton, senior director of Knowledge Center Operations at the Society for Human Resource Management noted that surveys have shown most companies do not impose a mandatory requirement for their CEOs. In fact, some companies that still have them may be reconsidering their policy since CEOs are staying in their jobs longer and boards are less likely to want to replace a CEO if the business is doing well. Experts also believe that boards also are looking for stability at a time of volatility.
Under Cornell’s leadership, the Minneapolis-based chain had been accelerating its online services such as curbside pickup and same-day services while sprucing up its stores well before the pandemic. During the height of the health crisis, Target became a lifeline to millions of people trying to limit their exposure during the pandemic.
The company has also been out front with its investment with workers. It raised its minimum wage to $15 per hour in 2020, a commitment it pledged in 2017 and well ahead of many grocery rivals. Earlier this year, Target adopted minimum wages that range from $15 to $24 an hour, with the highest pay going to hires in the most competitive markets.
Before joining Target, Cornell spent more than 30 years in leadership positions at retail and consumer-product companies, including as chief marketing officer at Safeway Inc. and CEO at Michaels, Walmart’s Sam’s Club and PepsiCo Americas Foods.
The company also announced Wednesday that Arthur Valdez, executive vice president and chief supply chain and logistics officer, will retire. Valdez will be succeeded by Gretchen McCarthy, senior vice president, global inventory management.
Shares of Target rose nearly 5%, or $7.83 to $171.41 in afternoon trading on Wednesday.

The Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU) has called TPG Telecom’s proposal to increase its workers’ pay by 3 percent a pay cut in real terms, and has also criticised the telco for proposing to remove penalty rates and casual loading for some of its retail workers
In a bulletin on its site, the CEPU revealed TPG proposed to increase wages of its retail, call centre and logistics employees by 2 percent in the latest round of negotiations for a new enterprise agreement, before increasing it to 3 percent.
The union said the proposal was still a pay cut in real terms after the increase, saying TPG’s frontline retail, call centre and logistics workers, along with their families are set to face “significant” financial pain.
It also revealed TPG also proposed that its permanent retail employees who work up to 12 hours after 6pm (or 20 hours on Saturdays), within a 2-week roster cycle would no longer not receive penalty rates for those hours. Casual workers meanwhile would still be paid penalty rates, but would instead lose their 25 percent casual loading.
“TPG’s revised proposal to guarantee a wage increase of just 3 percent across all workers covered by the EA – with up to 1 percent more payable at your manager’s discretion based on your performance – has left a sour taste in workers’ mouths,” the bulletin read.
The union cited the current inflation rate of 6.1 percent, and that it is expected to increase further and create deficits for household budgets. “As inflation continues to rise, the shortfall in your pay packet gets bigger while you are waiting until March 2023 to see a single cent of it,” the bulletin read.
“No amount of window dressing will soften the blow to TPG workers and their families under this real terms pay cut proposal,” the CEPU said.
“Whichever way you look at it, if TPG gets their way, workers and their families are in for real financial pain as the cost-of-living soars, whilst pay races downhill.
The union said it has made it clear to TPG management that the offer “doesn’t cut the mustard” as it pushes to formally offer the proposed agreement later this month.
“TPG workers are worth more, and their families deserve better. Together, we can deliver the pay and conditions that TPG workers and their families deserve,” the bulletin read.
“We are committed to continue bargaining with management in good faith to secure the very best possible outcome, and we need to be able to get you the most up to date and urgent information as quickly as possible, as this matter progresses.”
CRN has contacted TPG for comment.
Last month, TPG revealed its revenue for its half year ended 30 June 2022 posted steady growth as international travel and other COVID-19 restrictions eased during the period, after an increase in mobile and fixed wireless subscriber numbers.
In March, the CEPU slammed NBN Co's plan to upgrade customers on fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) to full fibre, calling it “another election promise that will go unmet,” in reference to the previous Liberal government.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (WTAJ) — Nothing can swing a game like scores on either side of halftime. James Franklin calls it “the middle eight minutes.” It aided Penn State on Thursday’s 35-31 win over Purdue.
Over the past three season, the Nittany Lions are 14-2 when they won the middle eight minutes.
“We talk about the importance of that statistic as probably it’s fairly consistent across the country,” said Franklin. “It does dictate some of our decision making when it comes to coin toss and our philosophy with the coin toss. But it’s it’s a stat that we’re aware of and we try to make sure the guys understand the significance of it and the importance of it in terms of back to back possessions.”
Franklin said Penn State’s coin strategy is typically to defer in order to sack the chances to win the middle eight.
On Thursday again Purdue, Sean Clifford’s best football was the final two minutes of each half. He had three touchdowns, including the game winner to Keyvone Lee. Clifford said he knew already knew what was coming.
“You get the hang of the flow, what he’s going to call, like I predicted pretty much like half the calls that he [Yurcich] was coming in with,” said Clifford. “So I already knew the operation was going to be quick. So realistically, it’s all about practice and then just having trust in our keys, our players, and then just making the plays when they’re there.”
In addition to winning the battle of the middle eight minutes, the Nittany Lions offense can hang their hat on the lack of penalties. Penn State had zero accepted offensive penalties against the Boilermakers.
The Nittany Lions look to stay whistle-free on Saturday for the home opener against the Ohio Bobcats.

MICHIGAN BLUFF, Calif. (AP) — California's latest major wildfire destroyed structures and cars as it burned out of control in the Sierra Nevada, while fires also forced people to flee their homes in the southern part of the state.
Evacuation orders and warnings were in place Thursday in Placer and El Dorado counties after the Mosquito Fire grew to nearly 6.5 square miles (16.8 square km) with zero containment.
Several structures and at least 10 cars were burned near the Gold Rush-era community of Michigan Bluff about an hour northwest of Sacramento.
In Southern California, the deadly Fairview Fire grew to more than 15 square miles (39 square km) as it sent up a huge smoke plume near the city of Hemet in Riverside County, southeast of Los Angeles. It was just 5% contained and evacuation orders were expanded Wednesday afternoon.
The fire erupted Monday amid triple-digit heat and spread swiftly, killing two people who were found in a vehicle, severely burning another person while destroying seven structures and damaging several others.
“Unfortunately we aren’t able to positively identify the victims at this time. But we do believe that they were from the same family,” sheriff’s Sgt. Brandi Swan said. “It appears as though the two victims that were found inside the vehicle were trying to flee from the fire.”
The injured person was identified only as a woman. Swan said she was expected to survive.
The cause of the fire was under investigation. Southern California Edison notified the California Public Utilities Commission that “circuit activity” occurred close in time to when the fire was reported, the Los Angeles Times said. The activity was not specified.
About 35 miles (56 km) to the north, smoke loomed over ski runs in the San Bernardino Mountains as the Radford Fire fed on stands of timber south of the Big Bear Lake resort region.
The blaze spread over 1.5 square miles (3.8 square km) since being spotted by a U.S. Forest Service helicopter crew Monday afternoon. It was just 2% contained.
Meanwhile, a wood products company said Wednesday that it is investigating whether a fire that killed two people as it swept through the Northern California town of Weed was caused by the possible failure of a water-spraying machine used to cool ash at its veneer mill.
Roseburg Forest Products Co. also announced that although the investigation was not complete, it was planning to provide up to $50 million for a community restoration fund.
The Mill Fire erupted Sept. 2 at the company’s facility in Weed on Interstate 5, about 280 miles (451 km) northeast of San Francisco.
Roseburg Forest Products said in a news release that its mill produces its own electricity in a co-generation facility fueled by wood remnants, and the ash that is ejected is sprayed with cooling water by a “third-party-supplied machine.”
“Roseburg is investigating whether the third-party machine failed to cool the ash sufficiently which thereby ignited the fire,” the release said.
Hundreds of people fled Weed as the fire spread, destroying 107 structures and damaging 26 others. The blaze eventually grew to more than 6 square miles (15.5 square km). The fire was 65% contained Wednesday, with minimal activity.
Roseburg said its fund will assist residents with temporary shelter, medical supplies and treatment, transportation, clothing, food and water, and child care services.
Near the Oregon border, the Mountain Fire covered more than 18 square miles of Siskiyou County and was 30% contained. It began Sept. 2.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — The California Highway Patrol said a man was killed after being struck by a car on Interstate 5 in Sacramento.
According to the CHP, a maroon-colored minivan hit a sub-contracted cone truck with Caltrans at 6:30 p.m. Two workers outside of the truck were closing part of the highway when they were hit.
One of the workers died, and the other was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
What caused the crash is not known.
In June, a Caltrans worker was hit and killed on Interstate 80 near Vacaville. The man responsible for the crash was sentenced to six years in prison and two years in county jail.

From Mahatma Gandhi’s riveting Dandi March to actor-politician NT Rama Rao’s celluloid-style rath yatra, political leaders in India have always turned to walkathons to script political glory.
The Congress party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, meanwhile, has been launched with an eye to revive the grand old party’s flagging fortunes, even as it takes on the might of the RSS-BJP polarising forces.
Explainer: 10 things about Congress’ massive foot march, Bharat Jodo Yatra
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday paid floral tributes to his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at the latters memorial in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, ahead of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The Wayanad MP, who had arrived here on Tuesday night, began the day by offering tributes to the former Prime Minister and sat in a silent prayer in his memory. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a suicide bombing in Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991.
Earlier, Rahul planted a sapling at the memorial. TNCC chief KS Alagiri and other senior party leaders accompanied Rahul. He would leave for the southern coastal Kanyakumari district and after visiting the twin memorials for the savants: Thiruvalluvar and Swami Vivekananda besides those for Kamaraj and Gandhi Mandapam, he would launch the 3,500 km-long Bharat Jodo Yatra covering 12 states.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin would present Rahul Gandhi with the national flag made from khadi to be handed over to Seva Dal workers managing the foot march.

All the cricket action between the Black Caps and Australia.
First ODI report:
Australia have continued their historic success over the Black Caps after salvaging a two wicket victory from the jaws of defeat in Cairns overnight.
Sent in to bat first, New Zealand posted what looked like an underwhelming total of 232/9, with no batsman reaching a half century on a pitch that was deceptively difficult for them to navigate.

Advertise with NZME.That sense was proven correct when Australia came to the crease in reply and immediately suffered a top-order collapse at the hands of Trent Boult and Matt Henry.
After 12 overs, Australia's chase was in dire straits at 44/5 and all of a sudden the New Zealand batting effort looked heroic.
However, Alex Carey (85) and Cameron Green did what many Australians have done before against New Zealand; they dug in and forged a fightback.
A record partnership against New Zealand of 158 for the sixth wicket followed which put Australia back in the box seat to clinch victory.
Three wickets in three overs put huge pressure on the home side to come through at the death and it was Green (89*), fighting a crippling bout of cramps, who fought admirably to lead his side to the win.
"It was a tricky surface and we thought we had a competitive total, we wanted a few more, but we knew that it was really difficult out there and we saw that at the start of the Australian innings," Kane Williamson said in his post-match interview.
"Credit to the way Alex Carey and Cameron Green played, it was an outstanding partnership that obviously we were just one delivery away from trying to break and they took the game deep and really took their side across the line.
"We'll assess. It was a reasonable performance but frustrating not to get across the line tonight."

The game began in electric fashion, though not from the point of view of the Black Caps.
Australian captain Aaron Finch won the toss and elected to bowl first and New Zealand were 10/0 in the fifth over when Mitchell Starc found the outside edge of Martin Guptill's bat, with the Kookaburra flying towards the gully region.
Maxwell quickly shifted to his left, catching the ball behind his body with an outstretched arm to send the Queensland crowd into a frenzy.
The slow start, coupled with the loss of Guptill (6), had the Black Caps firmly on the back foot on a pitch that was providing plenty of encouragement for the Australian bowlers, both pace and spin.
However, Kane Williamson arrived at the crease and combined with Devon Conway to do his proverbial job of steadying the ship. The pair put on 81 for the second wicket from 109 balls and were just gaining momentum when Conway (46) fell LBW while trying to sweep a straight delivery from Adam Zampa.
Williamson (45) looked to be grafting his way into some semblance of form - he was playing just his fourth ODI since the 2019 World Cup - before he holed out with an ugly shot to midwicket off the part-time spin of Maxwell to become the second batsman of the innings to fall just short of a half century.

Advertise with NZME.Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell consolidated the innings nicely with a 52-run partnership that was eventually foiled by the ever-present Maxwell who coaxed a clumsy shot from Mitchell (26), the in-form all-rounder chipping a full delivery straight to Steve Smith at short midwicket.
Four balls later and Maxwell struck again, this time forcing an equally ineffective shot from Latham (43) who swept lazily in the air to short fine leg to become the third Black Cap to fall in the forties.
Maxwell picked up his fourth two overs later, enticing yet another soft dismissal from a Black Caps batsman with Michael Bracewell (7) his new victim via a chip to Steve Smith at cover, the only man in the ring in front of square on the off side.
With six overs to play it was up to James Neesham (16) and Mitchell Santner (13) to rescue a respectable total for the tourists but they failed, like every other batter in the innings, to find the middle of the bat on a pitch stacked with tennis-ball bounce.
In the end, the New Zealand total of 232/9 looked about 30-runs under par and Maxwell expressed confidence in his side's ability to chase it down as he left the field.
Boult sparks electric start
However, Trent Boult had other ideas.

Advertise with NZME.He first took the scalp of Finch (5) - for the fifth time in ODI cricket - plum LBW before getting Smith (1) to chop a full delivery onto his stumps. His next turn with the ball saw him repeat his deadly dose of LBW, this time at the expense of Marnus Labuschagne (0). All three wickets fell within the space of 15 deliveries from Boult and Australia had been rocked.
At the other end of the pitch, David Warner had looked his usual confident, blazing self as he played his way to 20 from 24 balls. However, Matt Henry decided it was time to join the wicket party, albeit in slightly fortuitous fashion, by tempting Warner into middling a pull shot straight into the hands of Bracewell at the deep square leg boundary.
Henry put in a power of a spell to begin the Australian innings and in his sixth consecutive over he clean bowled long-time Kiwi nemesis Marcus Stoinis (5) to leave the home side well and truly reeling at 44/5 after 12 overs.
However, once again this match produced a twist, as Alex Carey and Cameron Green found a way to get their eyes in against the likes of Santner and Bracewell's unthreatening deliveries.
The pair's first 50 came slow, the second came at a medium pace while the third was fast by any ODI's standards. All of a sudden Australia were back in control of the match as, with 15 overs to play, they required just 62 runs with five wickets in hand.
Carey and Green kept powering on as the dew on the ground helped the ball skid-on, rather than hold-up off the pitch and timing became a simple prospect.

Advertise with NZME.The 38th over presented a chance for the Black Caps to get back into the match as Green skied a ball to third man from the bowling of Lockie Ferguson. However, Boult's casual approach from the boundary proved to be a false front as he ended up falling forwards and dropping the ball to the turf.
Two overs later the match twisted once again.
First, Ferguson broke the Carey/Green partnership by inducing a lazy pull shot from Carey before the incoming Maxwell (2) was dismissed next over - Boult's fourth and final victim of the match.
Four balls later and Mitchell Starc became Ferguson's second scalp as he chipped an innocuous delivery off his hips straight to Mitchell at square leg.
Runs weren't the problem for Australia now, it was wickets in hand.
Adam Zampa joined Green at the crease and the senior batsman almost immediately fell to the ground with cramping in both his legs to add further drama to the match. A five minute treatment from the team physiotherapist followed and Green returned to his feet for the final push - 23 from 50 balls with two wickets in hand.

Advertise with NZME.It was Zampa who stepped up at the death, with a run-a-ball 13 not out, to help the ailing Green to the finish line and a 1-0 lead in the three-match Chappell-Hadlee Series.

By later this week, North and Central Texas will continue to see low chances for showers and thunderstorms across primarily Central Texas.
Though widespread severe weather is not expected, Highs in the lower to mid 90s will and humid conditions will create plenty of instability for a few more robust storms with pea hail, very gusty outflow winds, and brief heavy downpours and minor flooding.

Is the coronavirus on its way out? You might think so. New, updated booster shots are being rolled out to better protect against the variants circulating now. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has dropped COVID-19 quarantine and distancing recommendations. And more people have thrown off their masks and returned to pre-pandemic activities. But scientists say no. They predict the scourge that’s already lasted longer than the 1918 flu pandemic will linger far into the future.
One reason it’s lasted this long? It’s gotten better and better at getting around immunity from vaccination and past infection. Scientists point to emerging research that suggests the latest omicron variant gaining ground in the US — BA.4.6, which was responsible for around 8% of new US infections last week — appears to be even better at evading the immune system than the dominant BA.5. Scientists worry the virus may well keep evolving in worrisome ways.
White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said COVID-19 will likely be with us for the rest of our lives. Experts expect COVID-19 will someday become endemic, meaning it occurs regularly in certain areas according to established patterns. But they don’t think that will be very soon.
Still, living with COVID “should not necessarily be a scary or bad concept,” since people are getting better at fighting it, Jha said during a recent question-and-answer session with US Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. “Obviously if we take our foot off the gas — if we stop updating our vaccines, we stop getting new treatments — then we could slip backwards.”
Experts say COVID will keep causing serious illness in some people. The COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub made some pandemic projections spanning August 2022 to May 2023, assuming the new tweaked boosters adding protection for the newest omicron relatives would be available and a booster campaign would take place in fall and winter.
In the most pessimistic scenario — a new variant and late boosters — they projected 1.3 million hospitalizations and 181,000 deaths during that period. In the most optimistic scenario — no new variant and early boosters — they projected a little more than half the number of hospitalizations and 111,000 deaths.
Eric Topol, head of Scripps Research Translational Institute, said the world is likely to keep seeing repetitive surges until “we do the things we have to do,” such as developing next generation vaccines and rolling them out equitably.
Topol said the virus “just has too many ways to work around our current strategies, and it’ll just keep finding people, finding them again, and self-perpetuating.”
How will the virus mutate?
Scientists expect more genetic changes that affect parts of the spike protein studding the surface of the virus, letting it attach to human cells.
“Every time we think we’ve seen the peak transmission, peak immune escape properties, the virus exceeds that by another significant notch,” Topol said.
But the virus probably won’t keep getting more transmissible forever. “I think there is a limit,” said Matthew Binnicker, director of clinical virology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “What we’re really dealing with, though, is there’s still a lot of people across the world who don’t have any prior immunity — either they haven’t been infected or they haven’t had access to vaccination.”
If humanity’s baseline level of immunity rises significantly, he said, the rate of infections, and with that emergence of more contagious variants, should slow down.
But there is a chance the virus could mutate in a way that causes more severe illness.
“There’s not any inherent reason, biologically, that the virus has to become milder over time,” said Dr. Wesley Long, a pathologist at Houston Methodist. The fact it may seem milder now “is likely just the combined effect of all of us having some immune history with the virus.”
While scientists hope that continues, they also point out that immunity gradually wanes.
Omicron has been around since late last year, with a series of super transmissible versions quickly displacing one another, and Binnicker believes “that will continue at least for the next few months.”
But down the road, he said it’s likely a new variant distinct from omicron will pop up.
The recent wave of infections and re-infections, he said, “gives the virus more chances to spread and mutate and new variants to emerge.”
Can people influence the future of the virus?
Yes, experts said. One way is to get vaccinated and boosted. “We have a virus out there that’s still circulating, still killing hundreds of Americans every day,” Jha said in a press briefing Tuesday. But, he added: “We now have all of the capability to prevent, I believe, essentially all of those deaths. If people stay up to date on their vaccines, if people get treated if they have a breakthrough infection, we can make deaths from this virus vanishingly rare.”
Not only does vaccination protect against severe disease and death, it raises the level of immunity globally.
CDC director Rochelle Walensky said Tuesday that up to 100,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations and 9,000 deaths could be prevented if Americans get the updated booster at the same rate they typically get an annual flu shot this fall. About half of Americans are typically vaccinated against the flu each year. People can also keep protecting themselves by taking other precautions like, for example, wearing masks indoors when COVID rates are high.
Longtime nurse Catherine Mirabile said it’s important not to dismiss the dangers of the coronavirus – which sickened her twice, nearly killed her husband and left them both with long COVID. Daily deaths still average around 450 in the US.
“People really need to look at this and still take this seriously,” said the 62-year-old from Princeton, West Virginia, who is now on disability. “They could end up in the same shape we’re in.”

Beale called up as Wallabies go back to the future again
SYDNEY, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Utility back Kurtley Beale was called into the Wallabies squad for next week's Rugby Championship test against the All Blacks on Thursday as coach Dave Rennie continued to look to proven campaigners to supplement younger talent.
The 33-year-old, who last played for his country at fullback against England in Australia's final test of 2021, joins the squad after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained playing club rugby in France.
Lock Rory Arnold was absent from the 36-man party named for the back-to-back tests against New Zealand in Melbourne and Auckland, however, as he awaits the birth of his first child.
Cadeyrn Neville, who has recovered from a knee injury, was called up in Arnold's place in the only other change from the squad that split two-test series with both Argentina and world champions South Africa.
Both flyhalf Noah Lolesio and centre Hunter Paisami were included despite being doubts for next Thursday's first test after sustaining concussions in the 24-8 loss to the Springboks in Sydney last weekend.
Beale's versatility means he would offer an option in the centres should Paisami be ruled out, while 33-year-old Bernard Foley could be in line for his first test in three years if Lolesio is unavailable.
"It's great to be able to keep the core of our group together and welcome Cadeyrn back to the mob," Rennie said in a news release.
"Kurtley is a welcome return to the squad after recovering from a long-term injury and will bring his passion for the jersey along with his wealth of experience at test level."
The home-and-way tests against the All Blacks could go a long way to deciding the tight race for the Rugby Championship title but also double as this year's Bledisloe Cup series. Australia have not held the latter trophy for two decades.
"We know how important these next two tests are with silverware on the line and we'll be expecting a response after the disappointment of last weekend's loss," Rennie added.
Forwards - Allan Alaalatoa, Angus Bell, Pone Fa'amausili, Folau Fainga'a, Nick Frost, Langi Gleeson, Jed Holloway, Rob Leota, Lachlan Lonergan, Fraser McReight, Matt Philip, Dave Porecki, Cadeyrn Neville, Pete Samu, Scott Sio, James Slipper, Darcy Swain, Taniela Tupou, Rob Valetini, Harry Wilson
Backs - Kurtley Beale, Jock Campbell, Lalakai Foketi, Bernard Foley, Jake Gordon, Reece Hodge, Len Ikitau, Andrew Kellaway, Marika Koroibete, Noah Lolesio, Tate McDermott, Hunter Paisami, Jordan Petaia, Suliasi Vunivalu, Nic White, Tom Wright (Reporting by Nick Mulvenney, editing by Peter Rutherford)

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan is pushing the limits of honey by making it more commercially viable and more “solid.”
After three years of experimentation, the Miaoli District Agricultural Research and Extension Station announced on Wednesday (Sept. 7) that it has developed a technique to solidify honey that it believes unleashes the potential of the viscous food substance to be made into a great variety of products.
While honey does crystalize and there is already a method to transform it into a solid form, the new technique is innovative in that it takes only three days without the need to add any additives.
In addition, the Miaoli station stressed that the new approach does not affect the quality of honey. This is based on the examination of levels of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), an organic compound found in fresh honey, and the amylase activity of honey.
Solid honey made by the new technique can be shaped into various forms at refrigerated temperatures. The honey at room temperature is softer and more malleable, a choice material for pastry fillings.
Agriculture associations and food businesses are invited to acquire a license for accessing the technique for wider use. Chen Pen-han (陳本翰), an expert at the Miaoli facility, suggests that with a solid texture, honey can replace chocolate as an ideal alternative for Valentine’s Day gifts, wrote Agriharvest.

For its 32nd season, Kitchen Dog Theater has programmed two regional premieres, one world premiere, and the 25th anniversary of its New Works Festival, which nurtures talent from Texas and beyond.
First up is The Sound Inside by Adam Rapp, directed by KDT co-artistic director Tina Parker.
In the 17 years since she was last published, novelist Bella Baird has almost completely isolated herself from the world. But things change when she meets Christopher, a brilliant but enigmatic student in her creative writing class at Yale.
As their friendship deepens, their lives and the stories they tell about themselves become intertwined in unpredictable ways, leading to a shocking request. The play was nominated for six 2020 Tony Awards, including Best Play. It runs November 3-20, 2022.
Man Cave by John J. Caswell Jr. is next, directed by KDT artistic company member Christie Vela.
Imaculada gathers her friends in a fortress-like mansion belonging to her absent employer, a wealthy Republican Congressman. Together the four women convert his luxurious basement man cave into their own spiritual war room and protective sanctuary from the violence of men, both real and supernatural. It runs February 16-March 5, 2023.
For the landmark 25th annual celebration of the best voices from DFW and beyond, Kitchen Dog has made a killer "mix tape" of festivals past, complete with commissions, staged readings of the hottest new plays around, and the 22nd anniversary of DPAC PUP Fest.
2023 New Works Festival events include the mainstage, world-premiere production of The Last Truck Stop by Crystal Jackson, directed by KDT co-artistic director Christopher Carlos.
A tenacious trucker-turned-truck-stop-owner and her poetic, gun-toting postal carrier debate staying or going when their desert town becomes a no-go zone. Should they trust the colorful stranger who arrives with a story they desperately want to believe? It runs June 8-June 25, 2023.
The staged reading series and DPAC PUP (Playwrights Under Progress) Fest will also take place in June 2023, with directors and playwrights to be announced.
All performances will take place at the Trinity River Arts Center.
A KDT season subscription is $60 for adults and $45 for students/seniors (65 and up) and can be purchased at www.kitchendogtheater.org or by calling 214-953-1055.

Six-year-old Charles Wilson V is scared to drink out of the water fountain at his school.
"I will die," he says matter-of-factly when asked the reason why.
It's a fear his father agrees with. At home in Jackson, Mississippi, Charles Wilson III -- who lost his first namesake son when he was just a baby -- gets bottled water for his family to drink, and he boils water for everything else.
The water is back on in Jackson after historic flooding took out the water treatment plant where pumps were already failing, but the Wilson family has lost faith.
"We've been crying about our water for a long time," said the older Wilson.
Nearly a year before the headline-grabbing shutdown, Wilson and hundreds of other residents sued the city saying lead in the water was silently poisoning their children.
The city's water system in early 2020 failed an Environmental Protection Agency inspection, which found the drinking water had the potential to be host to harmful bacteria or parasites.
Residents were without water for a month when pipes froze and burst during a 2021 winter storm. And the boil-water advisory remains in effect.
Wilson blames contamination for some of his son's academic and developmental issues.
"We've been told that there's small amounts of lead. We've been told that it is no problem. There's no big thing," he said, though the federal standard is that there is no safe level of lead in drinking water.
So even when the city says the water coming from his faucet is safe to drink, he will not take that chance.
And he's right not to trust, say residents of Flint, Michigan, where a cost-saving change of supply in 2014 led to a water crisis that is still ongoing.
"I'll never drink the water again," said Audra Bell.
"The problem for kids especially is they are developing and they are growing. You don't know the effects that the lead poison that they experienced today is going to have on them in five years, 10 years, 20 years," she said. "It's all like having a potentially walking time bomb."
Bell and her husband Floyd have been raising their grandson, Matthew, since his mother died when he was young. High levels of lead were found in him when he was just a baby.
Lead consumption can affect the heart, kidneys and nerves. For children, the health effects can include impaired cognition, behavioral disorders, and even hearing problems.
Now seven years old, the Bells are seeing Matthew struggle in 2nd grade, mirroring some of the same issues of little Charles in Jackson.
Matthew, like Charles, is kind, inquisitive, and energetic. But keeping his concentration can seem impossible at times as well as being able to understand things that come to other students easily.
The Bells know you can't simply flush lead out of your system with clean water but they are doing what they can to not make anything worse.
Even with new pipes and a different water source, the Bells don't trust what comes out of their tap and buy about 10 cases of bottled water a week for cooking, brushing teeth, making coffee and for them and their dogs to drink.
Their neighbor LeeAnne Walters says she does the same.
"I don't drink that water. We don't brush our teeth with that water. We don't cook with that water. We never will because they have done nothing to show us that everything's OK," she said.
She and her children still get the rashes that first appeared when the water went bad, she says, and much else besides.
"My children have had gone through extensive therapy for hand-eye coordination issues and speech impairments because of what's happened," she said.
"They have panic attacks if they go to the dentist and the dentist tries to give them water from a tap -- everything has to be bottled."
Walters rallied her community and testified to Congress about Flint's problems. And she doesn't think there has been justice or restoration yet.
Audra Bell echoes that with her advice to Jackson residents: "Just do the best that you can and keep your family safe."
Legal action was taken in Flint and attorney Corey Stern helped win a $626 million settlement for Flint children from the city, the state and private water companies for their role in the crisis.
And that penalty could push politicians to do the right thing, he suggests. "There are 626 million reasons why Jackson needs to do the right thing," he said.
But he accepts that a lack of money to start with was also key.
"Like Flint, Jackson is an impoverished community, primarily minority, not a ton of local investment in infrastructure from the government through no one's fault," he said. "And so just like Flint, if you cannot afford on the front end to do things right, you're never going to be able to afford to fix it on the back end."
He called on federal, state and local politicians not to focus on what was easy or popular but to ask themselves what they would need to do if their own children were living in the toughest, most impoverished parts of their community and go from there.
Michael Regan, the new head of the Environmental Protection Agency, acknowledges the long history that leads to sudden crises.
"There has been a difference in lack of investment to water infrastructure in this country for decades, but especially in our Black and brown communities. It's imperative that we correct this long-standing issue," he told CNN while in Jackson this week.
He also wants to look forward. "We didn't get into this situation overnight," he said of Jackson, adding there was no quick fix. "But we're working around the clock as quickly as possible to provide some stability to the system."
He pointed to the new Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and hoped investment would rebuild trust as well as pipes and pumps.
Maura Allaire, an assistant professor of Water Economics and Policy at the University of California, Irvine, said the new federal money was much needed but would not be able to cover the full investment gap.
And more people are at risk than the residents of Flint and Jackson, she said.
"The good news is that the vast majority of water systems do deliver safe drinking water, so the majority of the US population does receive reliable water supply," she said.
"The problem is about 7% or 8% of water utilities each and every year fall behind and do not meet national EPA standards and this equates to 21 million Americans not receiving water that is up to standard."
And if water -- essential to life -- becomes tainted, the effects spread far and fast.
"It makes us sick, my kids sick," said Mirambi Ford, a mother of five, in Jackson. "My little one-year-old, I don't even know what to do because he can't even talk. So, all he does is cry and there's nothing I can do."
Ford was raised in Jackson, has family all around and wants to stay. But that may not be possible.
"I'll never give up on my kids," she said. "I'm trying my best not to give up on Jackson, but it seems to the point where it's getting unbearable."
Charles Wilson has no intention of giving up on his child either. When he was a baby Wilson says he paced the halls thinking of ways to protect his namesake. He is determined to help this son live his best life even if government officials have failed them.
"What if it was your child, your family who had no safe water?" he wants to ask of the leaders.
But it's his child and he will look out for him.
With the schools back open in Jackson, he sends his boy off to learn. With bottled water in his book bag.

Teen gives first aid to gunshot victim on her way home from school
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The quick actions of a Kentucky high school student on the way home may have saved the life of a gunshot victim.
Nylaia Carter, 16, made her father pull over when she saw the victim on the drive home from Louisville’s Central High School. She relied on emergency first aid she learned in class as a sophomore to help the man.
“I had to do something,” Nylaia Carter told WAVE. “I’m trained to stop the bleeding, so I had to do something, anything.”
Using her sweatshirt to make a tourniquet, the teenager stopped the bleeding and kept the man conscious until paramedics arrived.
“I was proud of my daughter because she told me to ‘pull over, Dad,’” said her father, Adam Carter. “And I didn’t want to pull over. It had been a long day. I wanted to get home.”
But Nylaia Carter did not hesitate to help.
Police said the man was shot two and a half miles away. He tried to drive himself to the hospital, but the loss of blood cut his journey short, ending next to Central High School.
“Just blood. Blood everywhere,” Nylaia Carter said. “His clothes were just a mess.”
Days after leaving the scene, Nylaia Carter and her father visited the man in the hospital. They said he was grateful and surprised to find out she was only 16.
“And he remembered her being there,” Adam Carter said. “But she had a bookbag, so he thought she was the paramedic. So, we had a chance to talk to him and pray with him, and I think that she has a lifelong friend now.”
“Yeah, I did what I was supposed to do,” Nylaia Carter said. “He’s alive, and that’s all that matters.”
The 16-year-old said she hopes to earn a basketball scholarship and eventually go into the field of physical therapy.

The Southeastern Conference was perhaps one blocked kick away from perfection last weekend, with a few impressive nonconference victories and some no-brainers.
For teams like No. 1 Alabama and No. 24 Tennessee, bigger tests start on Saturday, when they’re among five SEC teams engaging in Power Five nonconference matchups. A league that prides itself on being the best in college football gets a chance for more September statements.
No. 2 Georgia looked every bit the defending national champion in a 49-3 win over then-No. 11 Oregon. No. 16 Arkansas toppled Cincinnati, a playoff team last season.
Florida upended then-No. 7 Utah, the defending Pac-12 Conference champion, matching the highest ranked team the Gators have defeated in an opener. The first time was over No. 7 Houston in 1969.
“Pretty good football there, huh?” first-year Florida coach Billy Napier said.
The football was solid league-wide, though it’s hard to read much into wins over teams like Mercer (Auburn) and Utah State (Alabama).
LSU fell 24-23 to Florida State on a blocked extra point with no time on the clock in coach Brian Kelly’s debut. That was the SEC’s only loss on the weekend.
No. 12 Florida and Tennessee rode nonconference wins into the Top 25, giving the SEC eight ranked teams. Arkansas moved up three spots in the rankings to start the follow-up to the program’s best season in a decade.
“I think that was just an energy booster fire for ourselves to know that we can play like we always can,” Razorbacks safety Simeon Blair said. “We can play and play at a high level against good teams of that magnitude.”
This week, Alabama visits fellow traditional power Texas after a 55-0 win over Utah State that amounted to a tuneup. The Volunteers, who beat Ball State 59-10, are at No. 17 Pittsburgh.
Vanderbilt (2-0) hosts No. 23 Wake Forest seeking its first 3-0 start since 2017. Missouri visits Kansas State and Mississippi State is at Arizona.
— Alabama is making its first trip to Austin since 1922 and is facing former Tide offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns are rebuilding, but they have a 7-1-1 record against Alabama, which won the last meeting to claim the 2009 national championship.
“I think there’s an understanding that us going to Austin this weekend, it’s gonna be hostile, there’s gonna be a lot of noise, there’s gonna be a lot of people,” Tide linebacker Henry To’oTo’o said. “So we’re excited and super juiced about it.”
— Tennessee and Pitt are playing in the Johnny Majors Classic pitting two teams he coached. Pitt won 41-34 last year in Neyland Stadium. The Volunteers get a chance to give further evidence they’re an up-and-coming program under coach Josh Heupel, who’s more concerned about preparations than any of that.
“Last week has nothing to do with this coming week,” Heupel said. “A year ago has nothing to do with what’s going to happen this week. To perform the right way, you have to prepare the right way.”
— Mississippi State has its first meeting with Arizona in a game scheduled to kick off about 10 p.m. Central time. Bulldogs coach Mike Leach went 4-2 against the Wildcats while at Washington State, and his team attempted 84 passes in the 2017 meeting.
“I think we’re all excited to be up late and go play Arizona,” Leach said.
— Missouri faces an old Big 12 Conference opponent. The Tigers and Wildcats meet for the first time since 2011 but the 98th overall. Missouri leads 60-32-5.
— Vandy has won the past three meetings with Wake Forest and actually leads the series 10-6. Commodores coach Clark Lea already has matched the win total from his debut season and was Dave Clawson’s linebackers coach in 2016 at Wake Forest.
Lea said Clawson “has built a great program there and it’s going to be a fun team to compete against.”

Why we need new energy scenarios - Dr Richard Dixon
The long-awaited Scottish Energy Strategy is due to come out this autumn but new energy scenarios published this week contain some things to welcome but also some worrying ideas.
The current Energy Strategy was published in 2017. It contains two scenarios, one where we go for renewables and efficiency in a really big way and one where we use hydrogen as a fuel, alongside renewables. The strategy did not plump for one or the other but left the options open.
The new energy scenarios, commissioned to inform the new strategy, contain three possible futures. One relies heavily on technology, one on changing behaviour and the third is a mix between these two.
Given the scale of the challenge of reaching net zero emissions, there is quite a bit of good news. None of the scenarios see any role for nuclear beyond the closure of Torness, expected in 2028. Similarly there is no suggestion that fracking might play a role.
Most Popular
In the technology-based scenario, carbon capture and storage has to be made to work on a big scale in Scotland. It will be needed to run the envisaged schemes that will take carbon dioxide directly out of the air or out of the exhaust of power stations burning trees. These plans are on a shoogly peg given that the UK Government has passed up the chance to fund the only proposed carbon capture plant in Scotland and a report this week finding that most of the 13 key carbon capture schemes around the world have either failed completely or are massively underperforming.
The most disappointing aspect is that all three scenarios have a new gas power station connected to carbon capture operating up to 2045, when its residual emissions mean it will have to close.
In the middle scenario hydrogen has to be produced on a big scale to heat people’s homes and most of that hydrogen comes from natural gas, but using hydrogen for domestic heating is a very efficient use of resources.
The research economic model comes to strange conclusions on hydrogen, preferring to make hydrogen from gas rather than using renewable electricity. Making hydrogen from gas means on-going contributions to climate change even with carbon capture, making it from renewable electricity is virtually carbon free.
So, rather than phasing out fossil fuels, all three scenarios have gas use remaining high right up to the net zero deadline of 2045. Just like the current crisis, this will leave us at the mercy of international markets.
The behaviour change scenario gets us to net zero with little reliance on uncertain techno-fixes, instead envisaging less driving and flying, a shift in diets away from meat and dairy to plant-based foods, and masses more tree planting and peatland restoration in the coming decades.
Substituting yet more renewables for the gas-fired power station and as the source of any needed hydrogen, would make the behaviour change scenario a really attractive path to net zero which avoids the pitfall of carbon capture.
But changing behaviour means using grants, loans, subsidies, levies, taxes, regulations and bans to strongly guide people in the direction of the right choices.

TODAY’S WORD is harridan. Example: Paige was cheerful and optimistic when she was young, but the disappointments and hardships of life had turned her into a harridan.
WEDNESDAY’S WORD was decry. It means to publicly denounce. Example: Trinity decried her grandmother’s pride in wearing fur coats.
Cold coming
These sometimes foggy and chilly mornings are letting us know that fall, which begins Sept. 21, is on its way.
Normally by this time of year the vegetable garden would have been long gone, done in by the heat and lack of rain. However, this year gardens are surprising people by continuing to go and go and go, thanks to unusual amounts of rain we’ve gotten this summer.
The first frost in this area tends to fall between Oct. 10 and Nov. 6. Keeping with our look ahead, we see that Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 6, meaning we move our clocks ahead one hour and it gets dark earlier, and resumes on March 12.
People are also reading…
The Sunshine Protection Act, passed in March by the Senate, would make Daylight Saving Time permanent if it is passed by the House of Representatives and signed by the president. If it passes, it would mean no more setting the clocks back an hour in the fall.
Raccoons
The Atlantic on Sept. 6 had an interesting article, “America Has a Rabid-Raccoon Problem” by Sarah Zhang.
It says that rabies used to be rare among raccoons, but an outbreak spread among Florida raccoons in the 1950s. Rabies started a slow spread northward, but then got a great boost when more than 3,500 raccoons were shipped to hunting preserves in — guess where — Virginia.
To help control rabies, for the past 30 years the USDA has embarked on mass immunization of raccoons, Zhang reports. Each spring and fall, the USDA drops millions of packets of oral rabies vaccines across the U.S., both by hand and by airplane. They are flavored, and when a raccoon bites into the packet, it consumes the vaccine. Richard Chipman, the national rabies-management coordinator at the USDA, has stated that the goal is for the raccoons of the U.S. to be free of rabies by 2063.
WEDNESDAY’S TRIVIA ANSWER: James Dean’s mother died when he was 9 years old, so he was sent to be raised by an aunt and uncle in a Quaker household. He also had a long and intense relationship with a Methodist minister when he was growing up. After he was graduated from high school, he and his dog, Max, moved to California to live with his father and stepmother and enrolled in Santa Monica College with a major in pre-law. Later he transferred to UCLA for one semester and changed his major to drama; he dropped out in 1951 to work as an actor.
TODAY’S TRIVIA QUESTION: Natalie Wood starred with James Dean in “Rebel Without A Cause,” for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. What other roles is she famous for?

Crack delivered to informant during undercover buy in Williamsport
Williamsport, Pa. — An unwitting informant helped expose a Lycoming County man accused of selling crack.
Detectives with the Lycoming County Narcotics Enforcement Unit said the informant placed a call to Maurice Nathan Gilmore, 52, on July 26 to arrange the purchase. The informant then met Gilmore near the 800 block of West Third Street in Williamsport.
Gilmore allegedly took possession of $100 that was marked and provided to the informant, detectives said. Gilmore was then observed entering a jeep before he returned and delivered crack to the informant.
Gilmore was charged with felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and third-degree criminal use of a communication facility on August 22. He was released from custody after posting $50,000 unsecured bail.
Gilmore is scheduled to appear before Judge Christian Frey on September 6 for a preliminary hearing.

Flamengo beat Vélez Sarsfield -ARG 2-1, in a comeback, this Wednesday (7th), at Maracanã, and confirmed their already expected classification for the final of the 2022 Copa Libertadores. In the first leg, in Buenos Aires, Rubro-Negro won again on the return trip and went to their third final of the South American competition in the last four years — they were champions in 2019 and runner-up in 2021.
Without losing in this current edition, Flamengo reaches the decision with 12 unbeaten games and, if champion, will be the first, after ten years, to win the competition unbeaten — the last was Corinthians, from Tite, in 2012. .
In the victory over Vélez, striker Pedro was once again the highlight of the team when he scored the first goal and gave the pass to the second, made by Marinho. Scorer of three goals against Vélez in the first leg, Pedro scored his 12th goal in the 2012 edition, isolating himself even more in the competition’s top scorer.
In addition, Pedro became the third Brazilian with the most goals in a single edition of Libertadores, alongside Célio (12 goals, in 1967, for Nacional-URU and Jardel, 12 goals for Grêmio, in 1995). Only Palhinha (13 goals for Cruzeiro, in 1976) and Luizão (15 goals for Corinthians, in 2000), scored more goals.
Flamengo will go in search of the third championship of Libertadores on October 29, in Guayaquil, and will face Athletico Paranaense, repeating the duel of the quarterfinals of the 2002 Copa do Brasil, won by Flamengo. In the history of the red-black duel, this will be the second final between them. In 2013, Flamengo won the Copa do Brasil over Hurricane.

Barcelona beat Viktoria Plzen 5-1 at Camp Nou in the Uefa Champions League
O barcelona gave definitive proof that he wants to be a protagonist again in Champions League. Lulled by a pulsing Camp Nou, Xavier Hernández’s team went 5-1 at Viktoria Plzenfrom the Czech Republic, and opened the campaign with victory in group C in a Robert Lewandowski’s Gala Night.
But for the team coach, another name deserves mention: Ousmane Dembélé. In an interview after the match, Xavi even compared the Frenchman with Neymar.
“I’ve seen few players with that skill in one-on-one. He is at the level of the best Neymar. He has suffered a lot in recent years and deserves what he is now. There is no pure winger that can go out on either side like he does,” he said.
“Ousmane has been doing very well and Robert has made the difference. We had many opportunities to score more goals. We were superior and hence the resultalthough it bothered us to concede that goal almost at half-time due to our mistake, they caught us in a corner that we took, these are things that we have to improve”, he added.
Author of a hat-trick, Lewandowski was also the subject of the coach’s press conference. “Robert is insatiable. It’s fantastic to have him on the team, I’m running out of praise. But it’s not just the hat-trick, it’s everything he does and what he contributes.”
In the other group match, the Bayern Munchen won the Inter Milan 2-0 in Italy, with goals from Sané and D’Ambrosio (own). Round two is next Tuesday, September 13.
