The initiative was launched in September 1997
The UAE’s Media Regulatory Office has asked parents to monitor the content their children watch on television or online. Guardians have been advised to follow the age classification of content.
“We recommend parents activate parental control features on movie platforms, which guide them to choose the appropriate content for their children according to their age group,” the regulator said in a social media post on Thursday.
Platforms available in the UAE offer parents the choice to create special logins for children or block content meant for a mature audience.
Authorities had recently asked OTT platform Netflix to remove “offensive content targeting children”.
“Recently, it has come to our attention that Netflix is broadcasting some visual content that violates media broadcasting regulations in the UAE and contradicts the country's societal values.
“We have contacted Netflix to have this content removed,” a joint statement issued by the Media Regulatory Office and Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) said.
“TDRA and the Media Regulatory Office are committed to monitoring the content offered by the platform and the extent of its commitment to abiding by the broadcasting controls in the UAE, from now on. We will be taking necessary action in the event of broadcasting any materials that conflict with the values of the UAE society and do not comply with the existing laws and regulations in the country.”
Cinema halls in the UAE follow a strict age rating system. ‘G’ is meant for general viewing and is open to all ages, while PG means children would need parental guidance, with some material not being suited for kids. PG13- and PG15-rated movies would require an adult to accompany the kids, while 15+, 18+ and 21+ would not allow entry to children below the specified ages.

Wasim Akram shut down a topic about team India when the host Mayanti Langer questioned him about it during the pre-match show on Wednesday before Pakistan vs. Afghanistan match at the ongoing Asia Cup in Sharjah.
Sanjay Manjrekar and Akram were on a Star Sports pre-match programme panel when Langer started a conversation on the Indian team's recent losses. Langer was hoping for a similar response from Akram, but the former Pakistan captain insisted on keeping the conversation on the relevant match.
Wasim Akram has had enough #PAKvAFG #AsiaCup2022 pic.twitter.com/MXqBv6w1r8
— Akbar Choudhry (@Dr_A_Choudhry) September 7, 2022
“Sanjay, this is all yours! Take it away,” said Akram.
Akram reacted when Langer prompted him to share his opinions: “I think Rohit Sharma is probably sick himself, watching himself on TV. There are two other teams playing today. We discussed India yesterday all day long, but today it’s Pakistan vs Afghanistan, so Sanjay, all yours!”
Here is how the fans reacted to Akram’s straightforwardness
This is the issue with star sports, they only talk on india centric issue even on non india day matches.

wasim akram being a badass in this asia cup. I like his new style.
— Vjahat (@_anxious_rana) September 7, 2022
Great response from Akram. But this might cost him his T20 WC contract..

The clash between Afghanistan and Pakistan was yet another nail-biter that the tournament had to offer. The Men in Green ended up winning the match against their neighbours by just a wicket and with only four balls to spare.
India lost to Sri Lanka by six wickets on Tuesday in Dubai after being defeated by Pakistan by five wickets the previous day. The Men in Blue have been eliminated from the 2022 Asia Cup final after Pakistan's cricket team defeated Afghanistan. The victory also crowned Pakistan and Sri Lanka as the competition's finalists who will be competing for the championship on Sept 11. India and Afghanistan have both of their Super Four games so far and will play one last match on Thursday.

The last two days have not been kind to the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who is being bashed on social media for showing his anger on the field towards his teammates and for making bad decisions as a leader.
Ever since India lost to Sri Lanka, social media has been trending with hashtags about sacking Sharma as the captain and the fact that the Hitman, who had a win percentage of over 80 prior to this competition, was unable to work the same magic as the team lost two straight games for the first time since he was named full-time skipper, made matters worse.
The 2022 T20 World Cup will be held in Australia, and many supporters expected the Asia Cup to serve as the last dress rehearsal for Team India. However, it has left the Indian team management with more questions than answers. However, according to Rohit Sharma’s plan of action, the team will continue to experiment with more players, instead of trying to build team chemistry with a single squad.

The Dutch government is proposing to phase out the Dutch nitrates derogation from 250kg down to 170kg/ha by 2026.
This is effectively a stocking rate reduction to reduce the number of animals in Holland.
The Dutch government is proposing a maximum of €130m in a compensation package for the 16,500 farmers who have applied for a derogation in 2021 to help them transition to this lower stocking rate.
The fast-tracking of the derogation elimination will be voted on this week, following a letter from the outgoing minister for agriculture to the Dutch House of Representatives this week.
The Irish Department of Agriculture recently touted a derogation reduction of 250kg to 220kg/ha very soon, without any talk of compensating farmers.

HONG KONG—Tesla saw a big jump in deliveries from its Gigafactory in Shanghai in August after upgrading its assembly lines, but the American EV maker continues to fall behind Chinese rival BYD in the world’s biggest auto market.
Tesla China’s deliveries from the plant, which makes the Model Y and Model 3, totaled almost 77,000 last month, nearly tripling from July and up 74% from a year earlier, according to data released Thursday by the China Passenger Car Association. More than 42,000 of those deliveries were exports, the association said.

Nigerian police in southern Rivers state have rescued 15 children they say were being trafficked by a 44-year-old woman who claimed to be a nun.
The Rivers State Police Command said the children were rescued from the woman’s residence in the Ikwerre local government area during a raid on September 3.
Spokesperson Friday Eboka said police had received a tipoff about the matter. He said all the children were under 10 years of age and that some of them had been missing for several months.
Eboka said they were abducted from various parts of Nigeria’s southern region, including nearby Bayelsa state.
The woman, who said she was a nun, told reporters Wednesday that she was running a non-profit organization for abandoned kids.
Eboka said the case has been transferred to higher authorities for investigation. He did not respond to calls from VOA for comment.
The International Organization for Migration says Nigeria is a source, transit point, and destination country for women and children subjected to trafficking, for reasons including forced labor and forced prostitution.
The problem persists despite the establishment in 2003 of a national agency to combat trafficking in persons.
Police in northwest Sokoto state this week arrested two suspects for allegedly trying to traffic people to Libya.

Forehead thermometers may not be as accurate in reading temperatures for Black hospitalized patients, compared to oral thermometers, according to researchers at Emory University and the University of Hawaii.
The chances of a forehead thermometer detecting fevers in Black patients were 26% lower than oral thermometers. Though the differences were small, the researchers noted that fevers could slip under the radar if the number is below commonly used thresholds.
"If fevers are going undetected, then alerts are not being activated," said Dr. Sivasubramanium Bhavani, lead author on the study and an assistant professor at Emory. "The differences in detection of fevers could lead to delays in antibiotics and medical care for Black patients."
The lag could even lead to an increased death rate in Black patients, according to the study.
In a sample size of 2,031 Black patients and 2,344 white patients, the oral and forehead temperatures were taken within an hour of each other on the patient's first day in the hospital. Temperatures did not vary significantly for white patients.
Why is this happening? There could be two reasons.
Forehead, or temporal, thermometers measure temperatures through infrared radiation. Skin pigmentation could affect its ability to emit light, radiation or heat, the study said, a concept known as skin emissivity. Though, a separate study published by the National Institutes of Health did not find significant variance in skin emissivity between skin tones.
Or, the varying temporal thermometer readings found in the study could be due to not scanning the forehead properly, researchers said.

When Tommy Pettus graduated from LCHS in 1968 his musical interest was limited to WVOK and Joe Rumore, but in college at Auburn he was introduced to Otis Redding, R&B, Ferlin Husky and true country music. When he heard friends Larry Smith and Spencer Hill writing songs he got hooked into the creativity of songwriting.
“I started informally working with multifaciticed musician Larry Smith; we brought Hank Williams, Jr. to the coliseum in Moulton on July 1, 1978. The LCHS String Band and Larry’s band, Kinfolk, opened for Hank,” Pettus recalled.
In 1982, after finishing law school and passing the bar, Pettus started Muscle Music, Inc. and produced a bluegrass album for the band Katys Mill, with long time friend Spencer Hill playing bass. Billboard Magazine reviewed the album, calling it, “mellow traditional bluegrass - some original, some familiar, all superb - from Muscle Shoals of all places!”, then declared the single, “Too Long Without You” as “nifty” and went on to add “the picking was exemplary!”. Muscle Music also produced an album and a couple of singles on Birmingham’s Glenn Tolbert who was a tremendous flat top and mandolin player.
After going musically dormant for a while, Pettus married, got a Masters Degree in Sports Management and worked as the collection manager for UAB Hospital. Then in the early 1990s, Pettus joined forces with Larry Smith and Chris Bain in a new version of Muscle Music. Together they started a studio in Moulton, bought a state of the art digital video camera and began working with local bands.
This business is famous for being fickle and having its ups and downs, reluctantly the three had to give up their dream. “Eventually, when we dissolved the business, I got custody of the camera because it was on my credit card,” Tommy laughed, “So I started looking for opportunities to video.”
The Muscle Shoals Songwriters Showcase, hosted by Mickey Buckins and Jerry McGee, had just started at FIZZ in the Holiday Inn in Sheffield when Pettus approached them about videoing. They welcomed him to the Thursday night happening. “What a wonderful gig!” exclaimed Tommy recently. “Virtually everyone connected to Muscle Shoals music took the stage, from former Grateful Dead member Donna Jean Godchaux MacKay and icon Spooner Oldham to youngsters Jason Isbell and John Paul White.”
“Shortly after starting to work with Mickey and Jerry, I met technology guru, Tim Erwin, at a CLE class and talked him into putting the showcase live on the Internet, making it one of the first music shows to be live on the net.”
In 2002, when Mickey and Jerry decided to retire the showcase, Pettus didn’t stay idle long. KIX 96 owner Jerry Phillips (son of Sam Phillips) started Muscle Shoals to Music Row – LIVE, and employed Pettus to film it live and transfer it to the internet. Also during this time Pettus convinced AL.COM to start a “Band of the Week” segment from tapes that Pettus was shooting of bands all over the state.
After wearing the camera out in 2004, Pettus had accumulated well over 200 tapes (in excess of 200 hours of footage) of the MSSS, Muscle Shoals to Music Row-LIVE, the Band of the Week and various other events which he packed in boxes and stored in the attic, the closet and under the bed.
Two decades later Pettus dusted off the boxes, had the vintage videos digitalized, learned to edit them and started a YouTube Channel so he could share these one-of-a-kind videos. As a result, he began to receive feedback and continues to receive great reviews from fans all over the world.
Pettus is pleased to have documented a dozen of Lawrence County musicians which are available on the channel. One, Mack Vickery, is not that well known locally, but was well thought of throughout the music industry. Mack was born in Town Creek and grew up in Loosier until the family moved to Michigan, but he always called Lawrence County home. He is a member of the Rock-A-Billy Hall of Fame and the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and was a member of Jerry Lee Lewis’ band for over 20 years. This video clip shows “The Father of Rock & Roll” Sam Phillips introducing Mack when his bronze star was revealed at the Hall of Fame.
Many know the name Gordon Terry, but don’t know his importance in country music and how he took Lawrence County values to Nashville. This clip, from Gordon and Virginia’s 50th wedding anniversary, shows the fabulous Barbara Mandrell telling her story of living with Gordon’s family before she was discovered.
The video of Town Creek’s Brad Crisler singing “Sweet Southern Comfort”, the hit for Buddy Jewel, is especially Lawrence County oriented, because he wrote the song about Town Creek. Hearing Judge Lee and Erwin Nichols depicted in a song paints an awesome picture of life here at home in Lawrence County.
Other Lawrence County musicians on the channel include: Frankie Lang and brothers Derix and Eric Gillespie in the band Dragonfly, The Thompson Brothers - Richard and David, The Alabama Blues Brothers - Jamey and Justin Crisler, Faron Weeks with the Whitehorse Singers, Steve Oliver singing his Grammy-nominated song, and locals written about before: Bill Terry, Spencer Hill, Mike Hill and Barry Hall and Larry Smith and Rod Wallace.
The YouTube channel includes many artists/songwriters who have passed away: Jerry McGee, Donnie Fritts, Scott Boyer, Roger Hawkins, Johnny Wyker, Buddy Killen, Topper Price, Glenn Tolbert, Pete Carr and others.
According to Pettus, you can find many long time contributors: Will McFarlane, Kelvin Holly, Spooner Oldham, Gary Baker, Mac McAnally, Larry Byrom, Dan Penn, Lenny LeBlanc, Max Russell, Travis Wammack, Wayne Perkins, and the Muscle Shoals Horns, among many others.
Pettus continued, “Perhaps more revealing of the direction Muscle Shoals music was taking during this time are the young songwriters who cut their teeth doing the showcase. Jason Isbell has been called the best songwriter this side of Bob Dylan, his high school mate, Chris Tompkins has written many hits starting with Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats”.
Pettus says that John Paul White may be the best singer he’s ever heard. “There were many others I was fortunate to video, including: Patterson Hood, Rob Malone, Barry Billings, Ben Tanner, Dave Anderson, Scott Boyer, III, Zac & Angela Hacker, Kirk Russell and many, many more.”
“So far, my two favorite videos on the channel are Bonnie Bramlett and Bobby Denton,” said Pettus. “The video with world renowned blues trendsetter Bonnie Bramlett takes place at a Scott Boyer/Dick Cooper party and includes a tremendous cast of players including the drummer for Elvis, Jerry Carrigan, blues harpist Topper Price, A Team recording guitarist and former member of Steppenwolf, Larry Byrom, keyboardist N.C. Thurman, guitarist Kirk Russell and Jimbo Hart who is now part of the 400 Unit on bass. With that house band, Bonnie Bramlett delivers a once in a lifetime performance.”
Also in Pettus’ collection is a Bobby Denton video which was shot by Dan Wright, a mulit-talented part of Muscle Music after they bought the camera. “Historically, Bobby Denton had the first hit from Muscle Shoals when “A Fallen Star” was released in 1958. Denton acquired the handle “The Singing Senator” when he was elected to the Alabama Senate where he was the driving force in the state creating The Alabama Music Hall of Fame.” This video has a remarkable story in that until Pettus digitized a VHS stored in a box for years and sent it to Mr. Denton, he had never seen it. “My God and I” is the name of one of Bobby’s books, one of his songs and now one of his videos.
When asked what he was going to do next, Pettus said, “I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I grow up, but until then I plan on posting more videos because I’ve just scratched the surface, then maybe start a marble racing channel or creating and selling NFTs on the Blockchain.”
With a smart phone you can scan the QR Code or use the url www.youtube.com/c/MuscleMusic7 “There is no cost to view or subscribe to the youtube channel,” Pettus explained. “I just want to share these treasures with everyone.”

Prison on the island of Guayaquil: specialists talk about the pros and cons of this proposal | Security | News
Building a prison on an island in Guayaquil is not a matter that can be executed easily and in a short time. From the environmental, legal, logistics and services there are some challenges that could complicate having a prison in the middle of the Gulf, according to specialists.
The proposal to cede an island, under concession, to build a prison was launched by Mayor Cynthia Viteri on Monday. She spoke of an uninhabited island of 135 hectares that could be granted to the Government. And she proposed that a private company handle the matter as in other countries.
His approach appeared days after a new confrontation took place in the Litoral Penitentiary with a balance of three wounded: two inmates and a penitentiary agent.
Xavier Salgado, president of the ecological organization Sustainable Environment, maintains that building a prison on an island will require an analysis of the powers, if it is feasible to create a space like these near protected areas or within an ecosystem.
Mayor Viteri offers an island in Guayaquil to build a prison
“From the environmental point of view, several processes should be carried out to determine if this project can be carried out, including environmental impact studies, demographic studies, risk levels close to these areas,” he says.
The specialist indicates that there is existing biodiversity in the gulf area, which has islands, islets, water basins, aquatic plants.
Salgado believes that before a prison, these areas should be strengthened in terms of tourism.
A builder also points out that it would be a logistical challenge to build a prison on an island in the gulf. Currently the islands are reached by boats or barges that usually carry materials and equipment for shrimp farms in the area. In addition, once operational, a transportation system would be needed to supply supplies, food, and maintenance.
Jorge Haz, trial lawyer and teacher, indicates that having a prison on an island demands that a series of aspects be considered, such as defining the visitation system, the means of transportation for families to arrive, the mechanisms of medical care, emergency rescue. “It is not only the fact of isolating (inmates) for security reasons, since it involves mobilizing a number of human beings,” he maintains.
An isolation as such in extreme conditions would also have its considerations. Remember that the Constitution establishes the right of a prisoner not to be subjected to isolation as a disciplinary control, to communication and visits from their relatives and lawyers, to have the resources to guarantee their health, to attend to educational needs. …
A Alcatraz in Guayaquil? This is how citizens react to Viteri’s proposal to hand over the island to prison
In addition, the regulations of the social rehabilitation system establish some principles, especially for people in vulnerable conditions.
The lawyer points out that on the subject of hearings there could be an advantage with telematic means, since it is no longer necessary to take all those deprived of liberty to hearings. However, there are cases where the inmate’s presence is requested.
For Alexandra Zumárraga, former national director of Social Rehabilitation and specialist in penitentiary systems, in Ecuador it is not necessary to have more prisons, but a correct penitentiary administration.
She recalled that a maximum security prison had already been built (next to the Penitentiary) from which 18 inmates escaped.
“We can build prisons with excellent security measures, but if those who administer them are going to be corrupt people, there will continue to be incidents with the entry of weapons, drugs…”, affirms Zumárraga.
The specialist says that creating a prison on an island and handing it over to a private company would not make sense in the midst of a process in which the Government is preparing guides who will be inside the prisons and overcrowding is set to go down.
In social networks, Viteri’s proposal has had a series of reactions, some in favor and others against.
There are those who support the proposal to a kind of Alcatraz in Guayaquil, to have a little more control of the inmates. The poor control of the State to stop the entry of weapons and assume command in the pavilions has been questioned in recent years.
The prison-island concept is not new. The most famous is alcatraz Prison, which operated in San Francisco (United States). It was conceived as a model prison in the United States and it would be impossible for inmates to survive an escape attempt. However, John Anglin, Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris risked an escape one night on June 11, 1962. Some time later, it closed. (YO)

Millions in England to be invited for Covid booster from Monday
Millions of care home residents, staff and housebound people in England will be invited for their autumn coronavirus vaccine booster from Monday.
Health teams will visit care homes and private homes to vaccinate about 1.6 million residents, staff and housebound people in the latest phase of the vaccine programme, NHS England has said.
An additional 4 million people will be able to book their booster jabs from Wednesday, as well as health and social care staff who do not work in care homes.
Appointments will be available from the following week starting Monday 12 September.
These include those who are at highest risk, such as the over-75s and those with weakened immune systems.
Related: UK approves second Covid vaccine targeting Omicron variant
Letters inviting people to book their jabs will start landing on doormats next Wednesday and people are being asked to wait for their invitations before booking an appointment.
The programme will expand in the coming weeks to include 26 million people across England, including the over-50s.
A total of 3,100 sites are expected to be part of the drive, including GP practices and community pharmacies.
The UK is the first country in the world to approve Moderna’s bivalent vaccine – which targets the original Covid variant and the Omicron variant BA.1
The NHS does not expect supply to be an issue and all of those eligible are expected to receive the bivalent jab.
The autumn booster campaign is among a package of NHS measures to prepare for winter, including increasing bed capacity and the number of 999 and NHS 111 staff to deal with any additional pressure.
Covid infections in most parts of the UK are falling, with levels in England dropping below 1 million for the first time since the start of June, figures show.
However, health experts have warned the virus is likely to become more prevalent in the autumn and winter.
The NHS director of vaccinations and screening, Steve Russell, said: “The NHS will begin vaccinating those who are most vulnerable to Covid from next week, with the autumn campaign kicking off in care homes from Monday and 4 million more people will be invited to come forward later in the week.
“NHS staff are gearing up once again to deliver these vaccines at speed, rolling out jabs at more than 3,000 sites across England in order to provide the maximum protection ahead of winter.”
The health and social care secretary, Steve Barclay, said: “An autumn booster will top up the immunity of those most vulnerable to Covid ahead of the winter to help us continue to live with this virus without restrictions.
“Please come forward for your booster and flu vaccine when invited.”
The NHS is calling for volunteers to help with the booster programme over the coming winter months.
Steward volunteers help at vaccination sites with non-clinical tasks, including moving patients through the process and identifying people who require additional support.
Shifts are flexible across a variety of centres around England and can be booked with the GoodSAM mobile phone app. Expenses are covered and no qualifications are required.
St John Ambulance is also calling for 4,000 extra volunteer vaccinators to come forward.

Leeds United FC Improves Customer Experience & Celebrates Fifteen Years' No-Fail Networking Thanks to Allied Telesis and NETprotocol
SWINDON, England, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leeds United Football Club (LUFC) is improving the customer experience for fans and visitors when using the turnstiles at its Elland Road Stadium in Leeds as part of an upgrade to its existing Allied Telesis high capacity resilient network core. The smooth working of the turnstiles, along with all other aspects of the club's business, depend on reliable connectivity thanks to a high-capacity Allied Telesis network that has been in steady operation with no downtime for a decade and a half. Designed, installed, maintained, and supported by NETprotocol, a platinum-level Allied Telesis partner, the network covers the club's Elland Road Stadium in Leeds and its training grounds 20 kilometres away in Thorp Arch, Wetherby.
"Our mission critical network operates every facet of our business – from back-office to security operations located around the ground," says Mark Broadley, Head of IT and Facilities for LUFC. "We put our trust in NETprotocol's expertise and Allied Telesis all those years ago when they assured us that the network would be highly reliable. The network has run continuously since then and that is valuable to us."
Leeds United FC's Elland Road Stadium has capacity for 38,000 seated fans and is England's 14th largest football ground. From a network perspective, LUFC is challenging as it needed around the clock no fail network operations for all its internal businesses within the stadium grounds including back-office administration, call centre, hospitality and executive suites, ticketing, merchandise shop, press box, television studio and a CCTV security system that operates several hundred surveillance cameras throughout the whole stadium complex.
"There are so many moving parts to the network in this dynamic stadium environment. We must meet so many different objectives under one roof, and we have to know that everything works just the way we need it to, without fail. Having confidence in all that makes my job so much easier," says Mark Broadley.
With nearly 200 cameras around the stadium, the CCTV is a key part of the infrastructure, designed to protect the 40,000+ fans and workers in the stadium on game days. As a failure of the CCTV system would trigger cancelation of a match, NETprotocol installed a dedicated network layer using an Allied Telesis switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) to each camera around the campus, further ensuring continuous operation of the security system.
Leeds United's network continues to be critical as more modern systems are onboarded and more services become digitalised. The team's promotion to the Premier League prompted many upgrades in services and networking to support match day requirements for press, traveling teams, security and more.
"We recently increased the network bandwidth by putting more fibre into the network to support additional communications lines, such as for streaming games and interviews out over LUFC-TV," says Broadley. "We replaced the network cores with even higher capacity connections, upgraded to the latest AlliedWare Plus operating system, and put a new management layer in place. With a single pane of glass management system over the entire network, we can view everything in much more detail."
The LUFC network is based on two high-capacity, diversely routed fibre connections constituting the resilient network core. One 20 gig connection is in the main data centre in the East Stand and one 20 gig connection in the ticket office in the West Stand. The diversely routed fibres going east to west and west to east around the stadium create a 40-gig ring that is completely faultless. Connected to these two cores are several edge cabinets that run the rest of the structure. A Vista Manager EX network management platform and the Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) from Allied Telesis, which is run from a single pane of glass to allow centralised display of network details, status, event information and automates common tasks like firmware updates, backups, and zero-touch provisioning.
Chris Dyke, Sales Director UK & Ireland, Allied Telesis, says: "When we install, secure, and modernise a network, its longevity is of paramount importance to us. The network at Leeds United FC is a great example of this and we look forward to our partnership lasting many more years to ensure the network continues to deliver ROI in terms of productivity, security and, most important of all, keeping the matches going every season."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will lead the U.S. delegation to the state funeral of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe later this month, the White House announced Wednesday.
Harris will also visit South Korea on the Sept. 25-29 trip.
The White House said “her visit will honor the legacy of Prime Minister Abe and underscore the importance of his leadership in championing the alliance between the United States and Japan and advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific.”
The trip marks Harris’ first official visits to both countries since taking office last year. Harris is set to meet with senior government officials and civil society leaders, and the White House said she will raise economic, trade and security interests during her trip.
Abe was shot to death in July on a street in western Japan by a gunman who opened fire on him from behind as he delivered a campaign speech. The 67-year-old Abe was Japan’s longest-serving leader when he resigned in 2020.

Chairman of East Java Kadin Adik Dwi Putranto here on Thursday welcomed the cooperation offer and expressed optimism of the meeting being followed up.
"We hope that this connection would not only end here but will continue. There will be real cooperation that will be established that can spur economic performance between the two countries," he remarked.

Putranto's statement was conveyed after Pakistan's Ambassador to Indonesia, Timor Leste, and ASEAN Muhammad Hassan, accompanied by Minister of Trade and Investment of Pakistan, Fouzia Parveen, and First Secretary of the Pakistani Embassy to Indonesia, Masooma Bushara Ali, visited East Java Kadin in Surabaya on Wednesday, September 7, 2022.
Furthermore, he explained that East Java also had immense potentials for which collaboration, ranging from trade, tourism and investment, can be forged.
For the tourism sector, he noted that East Java has vast tourism potential, ranging from religious tourism, heritage tourism, to nature tourism.
"What we are pushing is Giliyang (island) Sumenep tourism that has the second-cleanest oxygen quality in the world. There are also several religious tourist attractions in East Java. There are five Waliyullah (saints) graves in Gresik, Surabaya, Tuban, and others. For heritage tourism, in East Java, there used to be the largest kingdom in Asia, namely the Majapahit kingdom," he expounded.
Meanwhile, for the agricultural sector, East Java has vast potential for both horticulture and food.
"Currently, Porang (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) is one of East Java's mainstay commodities to replace wheat flour," he remarked.
Pakistan's Ambassador to Indonesia, Timor Leste, and ASEAN Muhammad Hassan earlier stated that Pakistan has special relations with East Java and Sulawesi. Hence, he said, Pakistan has shown major interest for East Java.
He noted that various areas of potential for which cooperation can be established, include the expansion of trade and tourism. He said that so far, the trade value between Pakistan and Indonesia has reached US$4.2 billion per year.
He noted that the potential could be developed even further on account of the vast Indonesian and Pakistani market.

Illinois, Delaware and South Carolina had the Highest Foreclosure Rates;
Completed Foreclosures Increase 28 Percent from Last Month
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM, a leading curator of real estate data nationwide for land and property data, today released its August 2022 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 34,501 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — up 14 percent from a month ago and up 118 percent from a year ago.
Lenders started the foreclosure process on 23,952 U.S. properties in August 2022, up 12 percent from last month and up 187 percent from a year ago.
"Two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after massive government intervention and mortgage industry efforts to prevent defaults, foreclosure starts have almost returned to 2019 levels," said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at ATTOM. "August foreclosure starts were at 86 percent of the number of foreclosure starts in August 2019, but it's important to remember that even then, foreclosure activity was relatively low compared to historical averages."
States that had at least 100 foreclosure starts in August 2022 and saw the greatest monthly increases in foreclosure starts included: Oklahoma (up 80 percent); Tennessee (up 74 percent); Virginia (up 64 percent); Arkansas (up 53 percent); and Washington (up 50 percent).
In taking a more granular look, those counties that had the greatest number of foreclosure starts in August 2022 included: Cook County, IL (798 foreclosure starts); Los Angeles County, CA (740 foreclosure starts); Harris County, TX (465 foreclosure starts); Suffolk County, NY (297 foreclosure starts); and Riverside County, CA (280 foreclosure starts).
Nationwide one in every 4,072 housing units had a foreclosure filing in August 2022. States with the highest foreclosure rates were Illinois (one in every 1,926 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Delaware (one in every 2,387 housing units); South Carolina (one in every 2,417 housing units); New Jersey (one in every 2,441 housing units); and Florida (one in every 2,950 housing units).
Among the 223 metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the highest foreclosure rates in August 2022 were Peoria, IL (one in every 869 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Jacksonville, NC (one in every 968 housing units); Bakersfield, CA (one in every 1,454 housing units); South Bend, IN (one in every 1,478 housing units); and Rockford, IL (one in every 1,496 housing units).
Those metropolitan areas with a population greater than 1 million, with the worst foreclosure rates in August 2022 were: Cleveland, OH (one in every 1,820 housing units); Chicago, IL (one in every 1,877 housing units); Jacksonville, FL (one in every 2,074 housing units); Riverside, CA (one in every 2,091 housing units); and Orlando, FL (one in every 2,445 housing units).
Lenders repossessed 3,938 U.S. properties through completed foreclosures (REOs) in August 2022, up 28 percent from last month and up 59 percent from last year.
"Repossessions are likely to continue running below pre-pandemic levels for several reasons, most importantly that over 90 percent of borrowers in foreclosure have positive equity in their homes, and would benefit from selling these properties at a profit rather than risk losing everything to a foreclosure auction or lender repossession," Sharga noted.
Those states that had the greatest number of REOs in April 2022, included: Illinois (493 REOs); New York (337 REOs); Michigan (326 REOs); Pennsylvania (260 REOs); and California (189 REOs).
Among those major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with a population greater than 1 million that saw the greatest monthly increase in REOs in August 2022, were: Kansas City, MO (up 967 percent); New York, NY (up 90 percent); Philadelphia, PA (up 28 percent); and Detroit, MI (up 23 percent).
The ATTOM U.S. Foreclosure Market Report provides a count of the total number of properties with at least one foreclosure filing entered into the ATTOM Data Warehouse during the month and quarter. Some foreclosure filings entered into the database during the quarter may have been recorded in the previous quarter. Data is collected from more than 3,000 counties nationwide, and those counties account for more than 99 percent of the U.S. population. ATTOM's report incorporates documents filed in all three phases of foreclosure: Default — Notice of Default (NOD) and Lis Pendens (LIS); Auction — Notice of Trustee Sale and Notice of Foreclosure Sale (NTS and NFS); and Real Estate Owned, or REO properties (that have been foreclosed on and repurchased by a bank). For the annual, midyear and quarterly reports, if more than one type of foreclosure document is received for a property during the timeframe, only the most recent filing is counted in the report. The annual, midyear, quarterly and monthly reports all check if the same type of document was filed against a property previously. If so, and if that previous filing occurred within the estimated foreclosure timeframe for the state where the property is located, the report does not count the property in the current year, quarter or month.
ATTOM provides premium property data to power products that improve transparency, innovation, efficiency and disruption in a data-driven economy. ATTOM multi-sources property tax, deed, mortgage, foreclosure, environmental risk, natural hazard, and neighborhood data for more than 155 million U.S. residential and commercial properties covering 99 percent of the nation's population. A rigorous data management process involving more than 20 steps validates, standardizes, and enhances the real estate data collected by ATTOM, assigning each property record with a persistent, unique ID — the ATTOM ID. The 30TB ATTOM Data Warehouse fuels innovation in many industries including mortgage, real estate, insurance, marketing, government and more through flexible data delivery solutions that include bulk file licenses, property data APIs, real estate market trends, property reports and more.

LONDON – Buckingham Palace says Queen Elizabeth II is under medical supervision as doctors are “concerned for Her Majesty’s health.”
The announcement on Thursday comes a day after the 96-year-old monarch canceled a meeting of her Privy Council and was told to rest.
The palace says the queen is “comfortable” and remains at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she has spent the summer.
Prime Minister Liz Truss said “the whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime.”
“My thoughts — and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom — are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time,” she said on Twitter.

In a bizarre interview on Tuesday evening, German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck claimed that in order to avoid potential bankruptcy due to the ongoing energy crisis “certain industries will stop producing”.
Appearing on the Maischberger German talk show, Vice Chancellor and Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck said that in light of potential energy shortages and soaring prices in the coming months, some businesses may be forced to close their doors and shut down for a time.
When pressed by host Sandra Maischberger if he expects a wave of bankruptcies throughout Germany in the Winter, Habeck said: “No, I don’t,” adding: “I can imagine that certain industries will just stop producing. [So they] don’t become insolvent.”
Pressing the Economy Minister on his strange logic, the interviewer asked: “How can [businesses] not expect big losses if they pay people but don’t sell anything anymore?”
Apparently flustered by the line of questioning, the Green Party politician said that although some firms “may stop selling” they would only go bankrupt if “you make an ever greater losses with work.”
The German business monthly Manager Magazin surmised that perhaps the minister remained so “vague” during the interview because he was hesitant to commit the government to future bailouts of companies as was done during lockdowns.
Germany Will Support Ukraine 'No Matter What My Voters Think', Says Foreign Minister https://t.co/N2jmUSceZE
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) September 3, 2022
Nevertheless, Habeck’s comments drew swift criticism, with leader of the Christian Democrat Union (CDU) opposition party, Friedrich Merz mocking the Vice Chancellor’s “helpless” performance from the floor of the Bundestag.
“One can only hope that a large part of German entrepreneurs were already asleep yesterday,” Merz jested.
CDU Secretary General Mario Czaja added: “Next chapter: This is not a blackout. We just don’t have electricity anymore.”
The admission from Habeck that industries may need to shut down came just hours before Chancellor Olaf Scholz claimed that Germany is “well-placed” for the Winter, highlighting that the country has been able to fill its emergency storage facilities to 86 per cent over the Summer and that his government has moved to restart coal-fire power plants, an embarrassing move for the left-wing coalition government, but perhaps a necessary one after over a decade of failed attempts to gain self-sufficiency through so-called green alternatives such as solar and wind.
Despite the claims from Scholz, Germany is still facing a rough road ahead. Following the shut down of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline a little over a week ago — largely seen as a retaliatory move against European sanctions — Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to cut off all energy supplies to the European Union on Wednesday.
The threat from the Russian leader came in response to a proposal from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen earlier in the day to impose a price cap on Russian energy imports, a move which Mr Putin described as unacceptable.
In a grim turn of phrase, the EU president went on to call for mandatory energy rationing throughout the bloc during peak hours in the Winter to “flatten the curve” of demand, raising comparisons to the early days of the Chinese coronavirus crisis and potentially foretelling of years of energy shortages in Europe.
Hey, remember the time when we totally got COVID wrong? Yeah. Here's another nutty solution that will totally fix this massive existential problem!https://t.co/OBcWd55NKV

BERLIN (AP) — Clean energy now provides more employment than the fossil fuel industry, reflecting the shift that efforts to tackle climate change are having on the global jobs market, according to a report Thursday.
The International Energy Agency said a post-pandemic jobs rebound in the sector has been driven by emissions-cutting technologies such as electric vehicle production, building insulation, solar projects and wind farms.
Clean energy, which under IEA’s definition also includes nuclear power, is now estimated to account for more than half the 65 million energy sector jobs across all regions except Russia and the Middle East.
However, the Paris-based agency said high energy prices including for fossil fuels have seen an upswing in employment, notably for liquefied natural gas infrastructure. Many countries in Europe are scrambling to find alternatives to Russian gas supplies due to t he war in Ukraine.
It also noted that wages in clean energy jobs lag behind those in the fossil fuel industry, where unionization rates are higher and risky work has been compensated with higher pay. The exception is nuclear, due to the highly skilled labor needed, the agency said.
“Countries around the world are responding to the current crisis by seeking to accelerate the growth of homegrown clean energy industries,” said IEA’s executive director, Fatih Birol. “The regions that make this move will see huge growth in jobs.”
He urged companies, labor representatives and governments to ensure that clean energy projects provide high quality employment and attract a diverse workforce. Women are significantly underrepresented in the energy sector, which as a whole accounts for about 2% of the global workforce, IEA said.
Where possible, fossil fuel workers should be given the option to retrain for clean energy jobs, the agency said. It predicted could up to 14 million new clean energy jobs could be created by 2030, with an additional 16 million workers switching to new roles related to clean energy.

'Good Burger' actor Kel Mitchell talks new children's book, journey with God
NEW YORK - Actor Kel Mitchell is showing the world that his career and purpose is far from over ever since he became a household name in the 1990s.
The 44-year-old Chicago native got his big break when he starred in Nickelodeon’s sketch comedy show "All That" and the sitcom "Kenan and Kel," alongside future Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson. Mitchell then made his way to the silver screen when he co-starred with Thompson in "Good Burger."
Since then, Mitchell has become a husband, father, pastor, and author while still maintaining his presence in Hollywood.

His newly-released book, "Prank Day," tells the story of a young boy named Chase who pulls several pranks on April Fool’s Day only to have the pranks come true the next day.
"It teaches kids about being themselves, not judging a book by its cover," Mitchell told FOX Television Stations.

"I really feel like I understand kid comedy, but then also too, I love stories that are a race against time, adventure, exciting to read and I wanted to create my own," he continued.
Mitchell said he thought of the book after randomly wandering himself what would happen if all the April 1 pranks came true on April 2.
"It just took me on an amazing journey," he added.
From ‘Good Burger’ to the Good Lord
Mitchell said he grew up in church on Chicago’s South Side, where his grandfather was a pastor.
"But there’s a difference between having a relationship with Christ and knowing Christ," he explained.
Mitchell said he had to do some "adulting" before taking his faith seriously.

The actor said he battled suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, toxic relationships and trust inside and outside the entertainment industry. He said also had to deal with the death of a friend, who was murdered when Mitchell was very young.
He detailed many of his experiences in his first book, "Blessed Mode."

"Life is about choices and I had to learn to live my life in a righteous way and live my life in a focused way," he said.
Mitchell said as he got older, he started to take his faith more seriously.
"In a lot of my ups and downs, Christ was always there," he said.
Balancing Hollywood and faith
Aside from acting and writing, Mitchell currently serves as the youth pastor at Spiritual Food Christian Center in Los Angeles.
Mitchell said he has been part of the church since 2011 serving in various roles including usher, stage manager and eventually becoming a licensed pastor.
"That was actually something spoken over me for years, but I was like ‘I don’t see it,’" he described before he finally succumbed to the calling.
"I had been through a lot in my life. I had learned a lot. I had a lot of breakthroughs in my life that God has brought me through, through my faith," he continued. "Every scripture that I’m reading, everything that I’m into...is telling me to actually teach the word of God.
Mitchell said God wasn’t telling him to walk away from the entertainment industry, but to stay in it.
"Because so many people that also need to receive breakthroughs and hear of my joy, hear of my grace within entertainment," he continued.

Mitchell said it’s not easy balancing his spirituality with Hollywood where toxicity could be on full display.
Recently, former Nickelodeon ‘iCarly’ Jennette McCurdy star said she was exploited by the network and her mother, detailing her ordeal in a new memoir, "I’m Glad My Mom Died."
RELATED: Justin Bieber cancels Justice World Tour: 'I need to make my health the priority'
Mitchell publicly expressed his support for the actress but said his experience was different with the network.
"I feel like everybody’s journey is different," he said. "It was a good environment as far as with Nickelodeon with ‘Kenan and Kel’ and ‘All That.’"
"My main thing was on the outside of that...with relationships outside the studio," he added.
Meanwhile, Mitchell currently lives with his wife and four children in the Los Angeles area.
As far as what’s next, Mitchell wouldn’t spill details on his next endeavor but encouraged people to read his latest book and check him out on MTV’s "Deliciousness."
"We got a lot more, other surprises as well," he said. "But I’m super excited being an author."

California avoids outages after day of grid-straining heat
LOS ANGELES (AP) — California avoided rolling outages during extreme heat, as operators of the state’s electricity grid continued to warn that unprecedented demand on energy supplies could force them to periodically cut power to some customers.
The California Independent System Operator on Wednesday thanked residents and businesses for heeding another “flex alert,” a request to reduce electricity consumption during peak evening hours.
“With your help, we made it through another day without rotating #poweroutages,” Cal-ISO said on Twitter. Another flex alert was issued for Thursday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. as temperatures were expected to spike again.
Targeted blackouts were avoided a day after miscommunication led utilities to mistakenly cut power to customers in several California cities.
The confusion occurred Tuesday afternoon between a dispatcher at the Northern California Power Agency, which owns and operates power generating facilities for 16 members including a dozen cities, and the California Independent System Operator as the grid it manages was perilously close to running out of energy amid record-breaking temperatures.
“That is certainly concerning to me,” Elliot Mainzer, president and CEO of Cal-ISO, said Wednesday. “There was a lot happening on the grid for everybody last night. And so we’ll double down on the communication to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
With record demand on power supplies across the West, California snapped its record energy use around 5 p.m. Tuesday with 52,061 megawatts, far above the previous high of 50,270 megawatts set July 24, 2006.
As residents and businesses cranked air-conditioning to escape withering heat across the West and solar power supplies began to wane, Cal-ISO issued a stage 3 energy emergency alert to prepare utilities to initiate outages if demand didn’t decrease. The state’s legal marijuana regulatory agency also urged businesses to turn off lights and reduce power or use backup generators.
The Northern California Power Agency said its dispatcher misinterpreted Cal-ISO’s order to prepare to cut power and immediately undertook the process to cut 46 megawatts — enough to serve about 35,000 customers — in the cities of Alameda, Lodi, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, Healdsburg, and Ukiah.
It wasn’t clear how many customers lost power, though the agency said no outage lasted more than an hour.
“Once the outages had been initiated, our dispatcher contacted (Cal-ISO) to inform them that the curtailment action had been undertaken, and was then notified there had been a misunderstanding of the initial order,” NCPA said.
With the state on the brink of outages, Gov. Gavin Newsom for the first time triggered a wireless emergency alert system at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday that sent messages to 27 million cellphones urging them to turn off or reduce non-essential power.
Within moments, there was a reduction of more than 2,000 megawatts, bringing the state “back from the edge,” Mainzer said.
“It took a very loud signal,” Mainzer said. “I think they now recognize that we’re not messing around. This is a real issue. And we need real response.”
Newsom, speaking Wednesday in Beverly Hills, said he had debated pushing that button for the past four to five days. He ultimately decided to test it and concluded it was a game- changer, though he’s reluctant to use it too often because he fears weakening its effectiveness. The emergency alert was not repeated Wednesday.
Western states are struggling through one of the hottest and longest September heat waves on record. Temperatures began soaring last week, and the National Weather Service warned that dangerous heat could continue through Friday, despite some slight moderation.
Nearly 54 million people were under heat warnings and advisories across the West as temperature records were shattered in many areas.
California’s state capital of Sacramento hit an all-time high Tuesday of 116 degrees (46.7 C), breaking a 97-year-old record. Salt Lake City tied its all-time high temperature Wednesday at 107 degrees (41.6 C). The heat wave was expected to last until Saturday.
Reno, which sits just across the Nevada line along the Sierra’s eastern front at an elevation of 4,500 feet (1,372 meters), topped the century mark for the ninth day in a row on Wednesday with its seventh consecutive daily record-high — reaching 104 degrees (40 C) after recording its hottest September day ever on Tuesday at 106 degrees (41.1 C), according to weather service records dating to 1893.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in state history.
On the Northern Plains, the unusually late heat wave peaked Wednesday following a prolonged string of scorching days.
Along a main thoroughfare in downtown Billings, where the temperature set a daily record at 102 degrees (39 C), Gale Spotted Bear, native of the Blackfeet Reservation, sought shelter from the punishing heat in the shade of a vacant building.
“This year has been hotter than hell,” said Spotted Bear, adding that homeless people can be hit the hardest if they have nowhere to go. “It’s hard out here.”

TORONTO, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison" or the "Company") (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) is pleased to report that assays recently received from exploration drilling completed at the Company's 22.5% owned McClean Lake Joint Venture ("McClean Lake" or "MLJV"), during the winter of 2022, have resulted in a significant expansion of the "new" high-grade unconformity-hosted zone of uranium mineralization discovered in 2021 between the McClean South 8W and 8E pods (see Denison's news release dated April 14, 2021). View PDF version.
Ten drill holes completed during 2022 by Orano Canada Inc. ("Orano Canada"), 77.5% owner and operator of the MLJV, returned notable uranium mineralization, including drill hole MCS-58, which returned 2.96% U3O8 over 15.5 metres, including 24.49% U3O8 over 1.5 metres, located approximately 54 metres to the southeast of drill hole MCS-34, which was completed in 2021 and returned a mineralized interval of 8.67% U3O8 over 13.5 metres.
Overall, the results from 2022 have successfully expanded the footprint of the "new" mineralized zone to approximately 180 metres in strike length (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Andy Yackulic, P.Geo., Denison's Director, Exploration, commented, "We are pleased with the exploration success produced by Orano Canada as operator of the MLJV – including a significant expansion of the footprint of high-grade uranium mineralization discovered in 2021 between the McClean South 8W and 8E pods. Based on the results of the 14 mineralized holes drilled in this area during 2021 and 2022, a third mineralized pod with a strike length of roughly 180 metres has now been interpreted in the McClean South area. Given the complex structural framework controlling the mineralization of this "new" pod, and the fact that mineralization remains open across strike on several fences, additional exploration drilling is warranted."
David Cates, Denison's President & CEO, added "The emergence of a 'new' mineralized pod in the McClean Lake South area is quite encouraging for the MLJV. Taken together with the successful field test of the SABRE mining method completed in 2021, the excess licensed capacity at the McClean Lake mill, and the approval of the McClean tailings management facility ('TMF') expansion earlier in 2021, the delineation of meaningful new uranium mineralization on the McClean Lake property has the potential to translate into an important source of future mill feed and ultimately considerable value for the MLJV and its owners."
A diamond drilling program consisting of 23 drill holes totalling 5,682 metres was completed at McClean South during 2022. The program was designed to test for the potential expansion of a 'new' pod of high-grade mineralization discovered in 2021 between the 8W and 8E pods along the McClean South conductor, as well as to test for additional mineralization in the surrounding area (see Figure 2).
Uranium mineralization grading greater than 0.05% U3O8 was intersected in 10 of 23 holes completed at McClean South during the winter of 2022, successfully expanding the footprint of the 'new' mineralized pod to a strike length of approximately 180 metres. The best mineralized intersection from the 2022 program was encountered in hole MCS-58, grading 2.96% U3O8 over 15.5 metres from 153.1 metres to 168.6 m, located 54 metres southeast of high-grade mineralization discovered during 2021 in MCS-34. Follow-up drilling approximately 8 metres to the north of MCS-58 identified further unconformity-associated mineralization, grading 0.34% eU3O8 over 9.5 metres in MCS-59A. Mineralization remains open to the north of MCS-59A.
MCS-57, drilled approximately 28 metres along strike to the east of MCS-58, also identified unconformity-associated uranium mineralization, grading 0.35% U3O8 over 8.8 metres. This represents the eastern-most mineralized intersection of the 'new' mineralized pod and remains open further to the east for approximately 50 metres, where it appears to have been cut off by historical drilling that has defined the western extent of the 8E pod.
MCS-38, the first hole drilled during the 2022 drilling program, intersected unconformity-associated uranium mineralization grading 1.17% U3O8 over 12.0 metres, approximately 12 metres along strike to the west of the mineralized intersection in MCS-34.
Additionally, MCS-50 tested the unconformity approximately 65 metres along strike to the west of MCS-38 and encountered unconformity-associated mineralization that returned an interval grading 1.13% U3O8 over 8.0 metres. Drill testing to the west of MCS-50 did not return any notable high-grade mineralization; however, further drill testing is required to determine if the mineralization discovered in MCS-50 can be extended to the west by following an interpreted structural offset to the south.
The results of the holes discussed above and the balance of mineralized drill holes completed at the McClean South target area during 2022 are outlined in Table 1, below, while drill hole locations and traces are depicted in Figure 2.
Table 1 – 2022 McLean Lake Exploration Drilling - Mineralized Intersections
Assay sample intervals are generally 50 centimetres long, except where higher or lower grade mineralization boundaries fall within the interval. In that case, two 25 centimetre samples are collected. Flank samples of 1.0 metre are always collected where mineralization is located. Systematic geochemistry samples are collected every 10 metres down the hole.
All assayed core is split in half, with one half retained and the other sent to the SRC Geoanalytical Laboratory in Saskatoon for analysis. Control samples are routinely assayed with each batch of core samples analyzed.
For results from McClean Lake, Orano Canada has performed detailed QAQC and data verification, where possible, of all datasets. Denison has performed additional QAQC and data verification of the drilling database.
The McClean South trend is located parallel to and approximately 500 metres south of the McClean North trend in the southwestern portion of the property (see Figure 1). The McClean South target area has been the subject of historic exploration drilling, resulting in the discovery and subsequent delineation of the 8W and 8E pods, which are situated along a N70° to 80° trend in close proximity to the McClean Lake granitic dome to the south (see Figure 2). The dip of the geology appears to range from 45° to 65° S in the 8W pod. In contrast, the dip within the 8E pod is steeper and undulating but is most commonly around 80° S. Several graphitic horizons of varying thickness are present in the McClean South target area and extend beyond and into other parts of the property.
Mineralization within the 8W pod is currently understood to be primarily hosted within the sandstone; however, it has also been locally encountered within the basement of the 8W pod. The mineralization within the sandstone can extend upwards of 50 metres above the unconformity. Mineralization within the 8E pod is currently understood to overlap the unconformity, with mineralization located both in the sandstone and within the upper basement.
No current resource estimate, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, exists for the mineralization identified to date at the McClean South pods.
The McClean Lake property is located on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, approximately 750 kilometres north of Saskatoon. Denison holds a 22.5% ownership interest in the MLJV and the McClean Lake uranium mill, one of the world's largest uranium processing facilities. The mill has licensed annual production capacity of 24.0 million pounds U3O8, and is currently operating under a 10-year license expiring in 2027. The mill is contracted to process the ore from the Cigar Lake mine under a toll milling agreement (up to 18.0 million pounds U3O8 per year). The MLJV is an unincorporated contractual arrangement between Orano Canada with a 77.5% interest and Denison with a 22.5% interest. Orano Canada is the operator of the project.
McClean Lake consists of nine known uranium deposits: JEB; Sue A, B, C, D and E; McClean North; McClean South; and Caribou. In 1995, the development of the McClean Lake project began. Mill construction commenced in 1995 and ore processing activities reached commercial production in November 1999. Mining operations commenced in 1996 and the following deposits have been mined out to date: JEB (1996 to 1997), Sue C (1997 to 2002), Sue A (2005 to 2006), Sue E (2005 to 2008) and Sue B (2007 to 2008).
Denison is a uranium exploration and development company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company has an effective 95% interest in its flagship Wheeler River Uranium Project, which is the largest undeveloped uranium project in the infrastructure rich eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. Denison's interests in the Athabasca Basin also include a 22.5% ownership interest in the McClean Lake joint venture, which includes several uranium deposits and the McClean Lake uranium mill that is contracted to process the ore from the Cigar Lake mine under a toll milling agreement, plus a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Main and Midwest A deposits, and a 67.01% interest in the Tthe Heldeth Túé ("THT," formerly J Zone) and Huskie deposits on the Waterbury Lake property. The Midwest Main, Midwest A, THT and Huskie deposits are each located within 20 kilometres of the McClean Lake mill.
Through its 50% ownership of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited ("JCU"), Denison holds additional interests in various uranium project joint ventures in Canada, including the Millennium project (JCU 30.099%), the Kiggavik project (JCU 33.8118%) and Christie Lake (JCU 34.4508%). Denison's exploration portfolio includes further interests in properties covering ~300,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin region.
Denison is also engaged in post-closure mine care and maintenance services through its Closed Mines group (formerly Denison Environmental Services), which manages Denison's reclaimed mine sites in the Elliot Lake region and provides related services to certain third-party projects.

Ferrari and Lamborghini are among the most recognizable Italian automakers today, but before either existed another firm set standards for Italian engineering excellence. Now part of California’s Nethercutt Collection, this 1928 Isotta Fraschini Type 8A Landaulet is a testament to that bygone automaker. Nethercutt Vice President Cameron Richards presents the car here.
Instead of building sports cars, Milan-based Isotta Fraschini built a sterling reputation with luxury cars. The Type 8A was aimed at the American market, which at the time was already populated with luxury marques like Cadillac and Lincoln, as well as now-defunct nameplates like Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, and Packard.
Isotta Fraschini brought an overhead-cam 449.5-cubic-inch inline-8, which drives the rear wheels through a 3-speed manual transmission, to the fight. It made 135 hp when this car was built, and eventually topped out at 180 hp. Neither figure is much by modern standards, but it was quite powerful for the time, although Isotta was outdone by Duesenberg’s inline-8, which produced a then-stratospheric 265 hp. And Cadillac would soon field a V-16 engine, developing 180 hp.
Still, Isotta Fraschini won over some wealthy American customers, including actor Rudolph Valentino, although his car wasn’t delivered until after his death. The car featured here was delivered new to Signa Lynch, wife of Merrill Lynch co-founder Edmund Lynch. It cost $12,000 when new, at a time when a new Ford Model A started at less than $400.
Finished in an unusual tri-color paint scheme with bright green highlights, this car has laundaulet bodywork by Italian coachbuilder Castagna, with a folding roof and permanent window frames for a semi-convertible experience. This style largely fell out of fashion after the era of coachbuilt cars ended, but was briefly revived by Mercedes-Maybach for a limited-edition G-Class.
Designed to be chauffeur-driven, Isotta Fraschini didn’t bother to move the steering wheel to the left side, even though the car was developed for America. This car also has a buzzer that lets backseat passengers give instructions to the driver—such as “turn around,” “stop,” turn left or right, or “go home”—all signaled by lights and an obnoxious sound that likely inspired class warfare.
While it would have been far from the only massive luxury car prowling American roads on the eve of the Great Depression, the Type 8A would have looked out of place on the narrow roads and cramped city streets of its home country. And while Italian automakers have become known for sweet-handling sports cars, Leno describes the driving experience as “truck-like.”
Isotta Fraschini stopped making passenger cars shortly after World War II, and was absorbed in a merger in 1955. But its cars are still coveted by collectors, and are a rare sight on this side of the Atlantic. This one has spent decades in preservation, winning awards at Pebble Beach in 1976 when the collector-car hobby was still a fairly novel idea. It still gets plenty of exercise, as you’ll see in the video when Leno takes it for a drive.

Many of us will have a favourite sleeping position that we find comfiest - but an expert has outlined which positions can actually benefit your health. On average, we spend around one-third of our lives resting or sleeping, so sleeping in a supportive position is arguably a top priority for our wellbeing in the long run.
Some that toss and turn in the night might find it difficult to stick to one stance, however sleep expert Kiera Pritchard, from Eachnight Mattresses, has revealed precisely how to train yourself to fall asleep on your back and its multiple health benefits.
She says sleeping on your back can reduce back pain, prevent heartburn, and even reduce wrinkles. While other positions, such as laying on your front, won't do you any favours, according to the pro. Here, Kiera outlines her top tips:
What is the healthiest way to sleep?
For more of the news you care about, straight to your inbox, sign up for one of our daily newsletters here.
Sleeping on your back is the most recommended position because the vertebrae in your back can align naturally in a neutral position without any kinks or curves.
Sleeping on your back may be healthier for your spine whereas sleeping on your right side is beneficial for your heart.
Stomach sleeping is the only position that is considered unhealthy as it is very stressful on your spine.
Does sleeping on your back help with back pain?
Back pain and sleep can exist in an ongoing cycle. If you have existing back pain, you might be getting less sleep because you are being woken by the pain, and the lack of sleep can also contribute to back pain because your body does not have enough time to restore its tissues while you sleep.
A recent study found living with chronic pain can cost a person 42 minutes of sleep and acute pain episodes can cost 14 minutes of sleep.
Everyone's body is different, and some positions may be better for you based on your height, weight, or previous injuries, but back sleeping is the most recommended position for those with back pain.
What are the worst sleeping positions for lower back pain?
The great majority of people do not sleep on their backs – 74 per cent of people are side sleepers and only 16 per cent of people are stomach sleepers.
Sleeping on your stomach is one of the worst positions for back pain, as it puts unnatural pressure on your spine. It forces your neck to rotate to either the right or left side and this position can compromise the flow of blood, lymph, and spinal fluid and may cause joint pain.
If you struggle to sleep on your back, side sleeping or sleeping in the fetal position is preferable to stomach sleeping.
Side sleepers who cannot make the change to back sleeping are encouraged to use a pillow between their knees which aligns the hip flexors and neutralize the spine.
Snorers should also sleep on their side, as back sleeping can make snoring worse.
What are the benefits of back sleeping?
Aside from helping reduce back pain, back sleeping has a variety of other health benefits, for example:
Back sleeping helps prevent heartburn and acid reflux.
Dermatologists recommend back sleeping for wrinkle reduction. Back sleeping does not put any unnecessary pressure on the face while you sleep, so it will not cause creases which lead to wrinkles.
Back sleeping is a good choice for people with colds and allergies because it promotes drainage of the fluids in the sinuses.
What is the best way to sleep on your back?
Only 10 per cent of people sleep on their backs and most have had to train themselves to sleep this way comfortably.
You can try training yourself to sleep on your back by the following process:
It may feel unnatural to sleep on your back at first, so try doing something enjoyable in this position for several nights, for example, listen to your favourite album or podcast while lying comfortably on your back. These exercises will help train your mind to associate this position with comfort.
Use pillow props. Many people feel vulnerable when sleeping on their backs, but you can counteract this by recruiting an array of pillows to support you. Most people feel supported with one pillow under each arm and one under the knees.
Persistence. Even if you fall asleep on your back, you will likely wake up in a different position. When you wake up, just flip back to your back and try again. Eventually, you will spend most of your time sleeping on your back.
Is it better to sleep on your back without a pillow?
Back sleepers need a pillow to prevent their neck from dipping down uncomfortably.
A pillow maintains neutral spinal alignment and eases discomfort, so we recommend memory foam pillows as they can be moulded to fit a variety of sleep needs.

A survivor, Miss Bridget Lorver, who escaped the attack said the assailants stormed the community in the early hours of Monday, September 5, 2022, at about 1pm.
Again, armed herdsmen attack Benue community, kill 3
No fewer than three persons were reportedly killed in a fresh attack on Tse Akaakuma Nanev in Mbawa Council Ward of Guma Local Government Area of Benue State by suspected armed herdsmen.

Lorver said: “We went to the farm in the morning and around 1pm, we saw herdsmen numbering over 20 with guns and cutlasses. They started shooting sporadically.
“We started running for our dear lives. It was those who could not run that were shot by the herdsmen.”
According to her, the marauders attacked the community unprovoked and murdered innocent victims.
“So far, three dead bodies have been recovered, while others are yet to be found. Among the dead are two men and a woman,” she added.
Another victim wondered why the armed herdsmen would continue to attack the community, as there have been such attacks in the past.
“Where do we go from here? Why are these people sending us packing from our ancestral home? Why did they attack us during this farming period? Please, the government should come to our aid,” the victim lamented.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Benue State Police Command, SP Catherine Anene could not be reached as at time of filing this report.
Recall that suspected herdsmen in August attacked two communities of Tse Ngojov and Tse Valem Yaweh in Mbagum district of Tombo council ward, Local Government Area where six persons were killed.
The armed herdsmen reportedly stormed the communities in large numbers, shooting sporadically.

SPECIAL REPORT-How U.S. regulators allow ethanol plants to pollute more than oil refineries
In 2007, the U.S. Congress mandated the blending of biofuels such as corn-based ethanol into gasoline. One of the top goals: reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But today, the nation’s ethanol plants produce more than double the climate-damaging pollution, per gallon of fuel production capacity, than the nation’s oil refineries, according to a Reuters analysis of federal data.
By Leah Douglas
WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) - In 2007, the U.S. Congress mandated the blending of biofuels such as corn-based ethanol into gasoline. One of the top goals: reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
But today, the nation’s ethanol plants produce more than double the climate-damaging pollution, per gallon of fuel production capacity, than the nation’s oil refineries, according to a Reuters analysis of federal data.
The average ethanol plant chuffed out 1,187 metric tons of carbon emissions per million gallons of fuel capacity in 2020, the latest year data is available. The average oil refinery, by contrast, produced 533 metric tons of carbon.
The ethanol plants’ high emissions result in part from a history of industry-friendly federal regulation that has allowed almost all processors to sidestep the key environmental requirement of the 2007 law, the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), according to academics who have studied ethanol pollution and regulatory documents examined by Reuters. The rule requires individual ethanol processors to demonstrate that their fuels result in lower carbon emissions than gasoline.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged with writing the regulations to meet the goals set by Congress. For processors, that translates to an EPA requirement that the plants use certain emissions-control processes the agency assumes will result in lower-than-gasoline emissions.
But the agency has exempted more than 95% of U.S. ethanol plants from the requirement through a grandfathering provision that excused plants built or under construction before the legislation passed. Today, these plants produce more than 80% of the nation’s ethanol, according to the EPA.
Among the five biggest polluters in 2020, per gallon of fuel capacity, were plants owned by Archer-Daniels-Midland Co ADM.N, Golden Triangle Energy, Central Indiana Ethanol, Green Plains Inc GPRE.O and Marquis Energy, according to the Reuters analysis. Plants operated by major energy companies POET LLC PTBBU.PK and Valero Energy Corp VLO.N were among the top 15.

Green Plains, Marquis and POET said that ethanol is cleaner than gasoline, despite higher plant-level emissions, when all factors are considered, including emissions from fuel consumption in vehicles. The other companies did not respond to requests for comment.
Some of the exempted plants produced much less pollution, including some owned by the same companies producing the highest emissions. The EPA said about a third meet the law’s environmental standard even though they are not required to do so. But as a group, the plants freed from regulation produced 40% more pollution per gallon of fuel capacity, on average, than the plants required to comply, the Reuters analysis found.
The EPA’s resolve to rein in ethanol emissions faces a new test this year as Congressional mandates for expanding biofuels expire, placing the future of the RFS at the agency’s discretion. The EPA is expected to propose regulatory changes later this year but has yet to publicly detail any proposed revisions.
White House representatives of Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden, who has vowed to aggressively fight climate change, did not comment on the Reuters findings on ethanol emissions. In response to Reuters inquiries, the EPA said it has followed the intent of Congress in implementing the biofuels law, including the regulatory exemptions. The agency acknowledged the higher production emissions of ethanol, compared to gasoline, but asserted that ethanol is cleaner overall.
The agency also touted ethanol’s benefits on rural economies and national security. “Renewable fuels help diversify our nation’s energy supply, improving energy independence and security,” the agency said, adding that biofuels provide “good paying jobs and income to farming communities.”
Ethanol industry representatives have recognized the need to lower the biofuel’s carbon emissions, and biofuel producers have been investing in projects that would capture plants’ carbon emissions and bury them permanently underground.
The leading ethanol industry group maintains, however, that ethanol is cleaner than gasoline. “Ethanol offers a significant and immediate carbon savings,” said Geoff Cooper, president of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), in a statement to Reuters.
Other industry observers say the RFS has utterly failed to meet its stated environmental goals. The ethanol mandate was “just a mistake,” said Timothy Searchinger, a senior researcher at Princeton University’s Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment. “We created a terrible model.”
DISPUTED GOVERNMENT RESEARCH
Ethanol does have a key environmental advantage over gasoline: It burns cleaner in cars. The problem, biofuels researchers have found, is that those gains are offset by the pollution from planting corn and refining it into fuel.
Researchers from industry, government and academia seek to account for all these dynamics in estimating ethanol’s pollution throughout its full “life cycle” -- from farms to processing plants to automobile tailpipes.
The Reuters analysis examined one major part of that cycle - ethanol processing - based on the emissions data that most plants are required to report to the EPA. The data provides the only view of ethanol emissions tied to individual processors, allowing for comparisons among ethanol plants subject to the emissions-reduction regulation, those exempt from it, and their counterparts in oil refining.
Government and academic researchers have also sought to estimate the industry’s overall pollution, but they have come to sharply contrasting conclusions.
A growing consensus of academics has found that, considering all phases of the fuel’s life cycle, ethanol produces more carbon than gasoline - not less. A study published by the National Academy of Sciences in February, for example, estimated that ethanol produces 24% more carbon.
The EPA’s methodology, by contrast, has hewed closer to the findings of industry-commissioned studies, which assert that ethanol produces as much as 40% less lifecycle emissions than gasoline. The EPA has used a controversial methodology to estimate the ethanol industry’s life-cycle emissions that has effectively ensured the industry’s continuing regulatory compliance. The model greatly underestimates the industry’s pollution from corn agriculture, four academic researchers of ethanol told Reuters.
The EPA methodology relies in part on the work of a researcher from Purdue University in Indiana, whose model the agency selected at the ethanol industry’s suggestion, regulatory documents show.
The RFA said the Reuters analysis of processing-plant pollution inappropriately focused on only one aspect of the industry’s pollution profile and disputed the findings of independent academic researchers showing the overall life-cycle emissions of ethanol are higher than gasoline. Cooper, the association’s president, concluded that “the science is clear,” showing overall ethanol emissions are “40-50% lower than gasoline.”
EXEMPTIONS FOR POLLUTERS
The ethanol industry’s high emissions are caused in part by the exemptions the EPA has granted to almost all ethanol plants, academic researchers said.
The law requires that the ethanol industry demonstrate that the fuel delivers a 20% reduction in carbon emissions compared with gasoline. The percentage is based on the EPA’s model for estimating emissions from all phases of the fuel’s life cycle, including agricultural and fuel consumption. But individual processing plants can meet the standard by agreeing to certain EPA-stipulated emissions-control practices.
Congress initially required the exemptions, but the EPA had broad authority to interpret the law. Several environmental groups asked the agency early on to set an expiration date for the exemptions, or to terminate exemptions for plants that are substantially upgraded or expanded. The agency declined, regulatory records show. The EPA argued in documents outlining the final rule in 2010, for example, that terminating an upgraded plant’s exemption status would require an agency evaluation that would be too “time consuming.”
The legacy of the exemptions is apparent at the Vantage Corn Processors ethanol plant, a hulking complex of steel silos, storage tanks and brick factory buildings that dominates the riverfront in downtown Peoria, Illinois, near the heart of the U.S. corn belt.
The facility was among the dirtiest U.S. ethanol plants, according to a Reuters analysis of EPA data. The plant cranked out more than 3,600 metric tons of carbon dioxide - seven times more than the average oil refinery - for every million gallons of fuel produced.
The plant was owned in 2020 by ADM, the multinational food processor and agricultural trader, and was purchased the following year by BioUrja Group, a global energy firm. BioUrja’s chief operating officer, Shék Jain, said the data analyzed by Reuters reflects emissions under ADM ownership and that his company is making the plant more efficient. ADM did not comment.
The Peoria plant is among 240 of 251 U.S. ethanol production facilities that are exempted from emissions-reduction requirements, EPA data show.
Reuters analyzed 165 of the exempted facilities, those for which both production and emissions data were available. The remaining facilities are not required by federal law to report their pollution levels because their carbon emissions were below 25,000 metric tons annually. Generally, that indicates they are small processing facilities.
While the small number of ethanol plants subject to regulation produce 40% less pollution than the exempted plants, they still produce more pollution, on average, than oil refineries, the Reuters analysis found. Ethanol plants complying with the rule produced an average of 860 metric tons of carbon per millions of gallons of fuel capacity, compared to 533 tons at the average oil refinery. The average exempted ethanol plant produced 1,203 tons of carbon.
The grandfathered facilities produced 4.8 million tons more carbon emissions than they would have if they had been required to comply with the standard, according to a Reuters calculation based on the average emissions from regulated and unregulated plants. That’s equivalent to the emissions of more than a million cars.
INDUSTRY-FRIENDLY ASSUMPTIONS
The U.S. government has maintained that ethanol produces less pollution than gasoline despite the growing body of independent research showing the opposite. The EPA bases its claim that ethanol benefits the climate on calculations made nearly 15 years ago using a handful of scientific models. The models include one that was recommended to the agency by the Renewable Fuels Association, agency documents show.
When Congress passed the RFS, it required the EPA to model ethanol’s emissions profile to verify it could meet the emissions-reduction standard. The EPA’s first pass at the calculation in 2009, however, found that ethanol would result in a 5% increase in greenhouse gas emissions over gasoline, which would have barred the fuel from the blending mandates.
Industry groups including the RFA bristled at the calculation and urged the agency to change the formula. The industry recommendations included adopting a model maintained by the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) at Purdue University to estimate the pollution generated by planting corn for ethanol, EPA records of the debate show.
The EPA redid its modeling and used GTAP to test its results, according to a 2010 Congressional Research Service report. It concluded ethanol’s emissions were 21% lower than gasoline - putting the biofuel just barely over the 20% threshold for RFS compliance.
The agency told Reuters that it did not make the modeling change solely at the industry’s request, but rather included input from “government, academia, industry, and not-for-profit institutions.”
The Purdue model’s approach to estimating agricultural emissions has been disputed by academics.
The bulk of ethanol emissions are produced when new land is tilled for corn production, releasing carbon that is stored in soil and roots. Two biofuel experts told Reuters that the team working on the Purdue model has steadily reduced its estimate of how much carbon is released from tilled land over the years, making ethanol appear more climate-friendly. For instance, the model has been adjusted over the past decade to overstate increases in corn yields, resulting in an underestimate of emissions from planting, according to a study published in 2020 by the Journal of Cleaner Production, an academic publication focused on sustainability.
The changes raise concerns about the model’s credibility and result in a “really lowball estimate” for agricultural emissions from ethanol, said Stephanie Searle, director of the fuels program at the International Council on Clean Transportation, a nonprofit research organization.
The Purdue model is led by Dr. Farzad Taheripour, a researcher and professor of agricultural economics. Taheripour said the model was modified over time to reflect real-world observations of how biofuels production has affected land use. For instance, early scholarship on ethanol regulation suggested the RFS would lead to deforestation, which did not occur, he said.
Taheripour has received research funding from several biofuels industry trade groups since 2012, including the Renewable Fuels Association, National Corn Growers Association, Indiana Corn Soybean Alliance, and National Biodiesel Board, according to a Reuters review of his research funding disclosures.
Reuters was not able to determine the total amount of industry grants Taheripour has collected or the amount he may have received from other sources. Taheripour said his funding sources do not affect his research methods or outcomes.
LAND CONVERSION
When Congress passed the RFS, it barred farmers from planting previously uncultivated acres with corn for ethanol, a measure intended to limit carbon emissions. And biofuels supporters often point to the fact that overall U.S. corn acreage has stayed relatively stable since the passage of the biofuels law in 2007.
Some scientists counter that corn planting would have dropped significantly without the government biofuels mandate. In the 25 years before the law’s passage, corn acreage declined nearly 7%, due in part to increasing yields per acre.
Moreover, corn acreage statistics do not account for millions of acres of corn for ethanol being planted on new lands -- the result of another EPA regulation that relaxed restrictions on the industry.
During its initial RFS rulemaking, the agency allowed new corn planting for ethanol on land enrolled in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which pays farmers a monthly rent to keep fragile land idle.
Since then, farmers have planted about 5 million acres of conserved land with corn for ethanol, according to the National Academy of Sciences study. All that planting comes with “a carbon cost,” said Tyler Lark, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment and the study’s lead author.
Taheripour dismissed the idea that the ethanol industry’s new corn plantings produced much pollution.
“CRP land is nothing but unused cropland,” Taheripour said. “Unused land does not have the capability to capture lots of carbon.”
The USDA has for years claimed otherwise – that unused farmland in its CRP program soaked up massive amounts of carbon. Touting the program as a major solution to climate change, the department estimated between 2006 and 2017 that such lands contained about 1.4 metric tons of carbon per acre, on average.
Asked about the climate benefits of CRP land for this story, however, the USDA told Reuters it had recently lowered its estimate of carbon in such lands by nearly half, to 0.8 metric tons per acre, after reviewing updated data.
Given the scientific disputes surrounding ethanol, industry and governmental claims of a major climate benefit are dubious, said Rich Plevin, an environmental consultant and former researcher at the University of California-Berkeley who has studied biofuels emissions.
“Did the policy achieve anything? I think it’s really hard to claim that it did for the environment,” he said. “The best we can say is, no one really knows.”

US To Allocate Over $2Bln In Military Aid To Ukraine, European States - Reports
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published September 08, 2022 | 04:50 PM
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 08th September, 2022) The administration of US President Joe Biden has approved a new military aid package worth more than $2 billion for Ukraine and other European states, the Associated Press reported on Thursday, citing the US State Department.
Earlier in the day, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kiev on an unannounced visit to notify Ukrainian leadership about the new military aid package, according to the report.
The new aid package is yet to be approved by the Congress, the report said. It entails the allocation of $1 billion to Ukraine and the rest to 18 other European countries that border Russia or are "most potentially at risk for future Russian aggression," according to the US State Department, as cited by the news outlet. The money will go toward what the State Department calls military integration with NATO through the purchase of US-made weapons.
The new $1 billion aid package comes in addition to the $675 million military aid package for Ukraine that Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin announced earlier in the day in Germany. That aid package included Stinger anti-aircraft systems, armored personnel carriers, grenade launchers, Mi-17 helicopters, body armor, and millions of rounds of small-arms ammunition.
Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24, after the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian forces. In response, Western countries rolled out a comprehensive sanctions campaign against Moscow and have ramped up lethal weapons supplies to Ukraine.

Queen Elizabeth II has been ordered under strict rest at Balmoral Castle as doctors have grown “concerned for Her Majesty’s health,” Buckingham Palace said Thursday.
The 96-year-old royal is “comfortable” at the Scottish castle, where she has spent much of the summer, doctors said.
“The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime,” new Prime Minister Liz Truss tweeted.
“My thoughts — and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom — are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time.”
The announcement comes just a day after the queen canceled a virtual meeting with her privy council under “doctors’ advice to rest.”
The queen’s eldest son, 73-year-old Charles, the Prince of Wales, is first in the line of succession for the throne, followed by Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge.
Charles is already at the queen’s bedside and William is traveling to Balmoral Thursday morning, according to the BBC.

Karnataka has been in the news for the past few months for a host of reasons. From the Hijab row to cracking down on Islamists and even political issues like the controversy surrounding Veer Savarkar and the Lingayat issue. With assembly elections set to be held in the state in 2023, the political environment is just about heating up. Opindia.com, in a freewheeling conversation with Dr Ashwath Narayan, Minister for Higher Education, IT-BT, Science and Technology, Skill Development and Livelihood, Government of Karnataka, attempts a snapshot of the pre-election mood in Karnataka and how the BJP’s first government in the south is faring on the ground.
Here are excerpts from the interaction.
Q: The Hijab row has taken Karnataka by storm ever since it erupted. How is the government dealing with it?
A: The hijab row is nothing but politics sponsored by an intellectually-impoverished Opposition and bears no connection whatsoever with the idea of education. In fact, the Karnataka High Court verdict is very clear that such differentiations among children based on religion should not exist and education should be the leveller and primary focus. The school uniform has been in vogue for decades, all over the world. Why should there suddenly be wedges created between students? Is this real secularism?
Q: Now the Supreme court is seized of the matter. Any thoughts on the future course of action?
A: We will follow whatever the Supreme Court says, as a responsible government. But even the court has castigated the students for ‘forum shopping’. The fact that their lawyer is a high-end practitioner and a former Congressman itself shows that vested interests are behind this agenda. Can students of a school afford such hot-shot lawyers? There’s something that does not add up here.
Q: Are radical Islamist organisations driving this agenda? How do you view the criticism of the Leftists against this ‘secularization of education‘?
A: Radical Islamists have for long been trying to bleed India with a thousand cuts. This is proved by their Ghazwa-e-Hind agenda, which is now common knowledge. I want to ask these people one question – What is secularism, in their definition? I understand it to mean respect for all faiths and equal treatment for all. What we are seeing here is the methodical imposition of one faith and ideology onto the whole nation through cleverly camouflaged methods that appear democratic.
Their real aim is to thrust upon a peaceful India a totalitarian philosophy without any scope for diversity or culture. We are not a monochromatic nation like Pakistan. We are a civilizational state and are proud of it. And to the communists, I would like to say, please refer to the dictionary definition of the word ‘commune’. It will then be clear that it is they who are communal, by wanting to paint India in just one colour and supporting religious fundamentalists. Bharat is secular through the power of its diversity – not only of its peoples, but of its states, cuisines, and Gods as well.
Q: Recently, Islamist organisations started demanding that religious studies be introduced in schools and Hijab be allowed as an official dress after the Primary Education Minister said that Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations would be allowed in schools. What’s your take on this matter?
A: First of all, let us be clear on who we are, as a people. We do not go around exploding markets and forcing others to accept our views with the sword in hand. This may be par for the course in Pakistan, but not here in India. We are a peaceful people keen on individual, collective and national growth. Our ideas are progressive and do not infringe on the personal safety or welfare of the ‘other’. Therefore, I, as a proud member of the BJP, do not see anything wrong with Ganesh Chaturthi in schools. It is an extension of our civilizational state of mind, whereas, cultures that have historically used the sword to force people into religious compliance do not deserve space in our educational institutions. It is as simple, if not constitutional, as that.
Q: Coming to the Veer Savarkar controversy, Congress seems especially inimical to the adoption or promotion of Savarkar as a freedom icon. Your thoughts?
A: Congress wants the country to celebrate only its icons of the past. They are scared of people coming to know of the contributions of others. It is apprehensive of losing political relevance if other figures also get their pride of place. And let me tell you, only Veer Savarkar knew the pains of suffering in Kaalapani or the Andaman jail. Does Siddaramaiah know of such discomfort? Siddaramaiah only knows how to eat a full meal of meat and then visit a temple in sheer disrespect.
Q: The Opposition is criticising the police for ‘highhandedness’ in the Veer Savarkar matter. Is that a legitimate viewpoint?
A: If I take pride in a particular person, it is my privilege. They take pride in Tipu Sultan, who was a ruthless killer. Is that fine? Are we supposed to elevate Tipu to the status of a demigod? Will even the Islamists be okay with that, given that we are overtly sensitive about the supremacy of God? Does the Congress want to elevate Tipu Sultan because he subjugated Hindus? Siddaramaiah should reflect upon his name. Else, he is free to call himself Sultanayyah! It will clearly draw the battle lines.
Q: Please explain the politics surrounding the Lingayat issue. Are Veerashaivas and Lingayats different, or is there a conspiracy against the community?
A: There is no difference between the Lingayats and Veerashaivas. Both are worshippers of Shiva and Basavanna, who is an incarnation of Nandishwara. The attempt to divide the community is a plan by the Congress party to destroy Hinduism and unite the minorities. Is Congress harping on the differences between Sunnis and Shias? Or, for that matter between Muslims and Christians? For them, ‘minority unity’ and ‘majority disunity’ is the goal. That’s their master key to power and public office. Siddaramaiah should remember that he lost the last elections because of such chicanery. He has even ‘regretted’ his divisive agenda, in a meeting with a seer, as per recent news reports. Such theatrics will not work. People are intelligent.
Q: What do you make of Rahul Gandhi’s recent ‘deekshe’ at a Lingayat mutt? Is it genuine or just optics?
A: The world knows Mr Rahul Gandhi as “Election Hindu”. He, on the advice of his advisors, proves that point again and again. I welcome it, it’s entertaining.
If Rahul Gandhi is so universal, then he should speak the language of Swami Vivekananda, who wrote reams about his idea of a Universal religion. But that does not seem the case. I want to ask Shri ‘Janeudhari’ whether he does his Sandhya Vandana regularly. We can thereafter come to ‘linga deekshe’.
Q: Much heat has been generated after the murder of Hindutva activist Praveen Nettaru. The BJP too has drawn heavy flak for perceived apathy in the protection of its foot soldiers. What’s your reading of the situation?
A: We are firm and united in our ideology. I seriously condemn those who convert an ideological fight into a blood fight. All karyakartas including me have stood in solidarity with Praveen and his family. His family’s pain is my pain, their grief is my grief.
Q: The Karnataka government is in the process of drafting the State Public Higher Education Institutions Bill. What are its chief aims and why is it being instituted?
A: In brief, the Bill aims to professionalise education in the state by giving institutions of higher learning complete autonomy in line with their peers in advanced nations. The role of politicians in educational administration will be eliminated and a Board comprising persons of eminence will be in place to guide these institutions. In short, we want an IIT-IIM-style of professional freedom for our institutions so they can serve the purpose for which they were originally created.
Q: With Karnataka already excelling globally in the field of software, what are your government’s further plans in matters of development?
A: The Prime Minister recently spoke of the work-from-home and hybrid concepts, and they being the future of work. Taking this forward, our government is looking at a decentralized model of development, where tier-2 and tier-3 cities will be developed to accommodate more professionals so the pressure on Bengaluru may be eased. This decentralization will also apply to the field of education, where every zilla will have an educational institute of excellence and admit local students who will study local problems and come up with local solutions. It is in line with Modi ji’s ‘Vocal for Local’ vision.
Q: What are the party’s prospects in the 2023 elections? You are a senior leader in the party – what role do you see for yourself in this election?
A: Our mission is 150+ seats in the Karnataka Assembly. We have done path-breaking development work in the state since we came back to power. We will go to the people of Karnataka with a positive development plank and I’m sure of a better victory this time. I’m at the party’s disposal and will do whatever the party tasks me with.
Q: The BJP has been traditionally weak in the Old Mysuru Region. How is a comfortable victory possible without adequate representation from that region?
I come from that region. The people there are strongly rooted in tradition and culture, and they are progressive in thinking as well. This is exactly what the BJP stands for and this election results will surprise all poll pundits.
Q: Lastly, there is a lot of criticism about the way the rains were handled in Bangalore, given that several parts saw life coming to a standstill due to water logging. What would you say about that?
A: Despite what the media would have us all believe, not all parts of Bengaluru were affected by waterlogging; most of the waterlogging has happened in lake beds where there has been rampant encroachment. However, we understand the concerns and anguish of our citizenry and our friends and partners in corporates and industry as well. This situation doesn’t just harm the bottom lines, it harms our state’s economy. We are in discussion with industry heads and decision makers across Namma Bengaluru, along with representatives across the board, from the Chief Secretary of the State Government of Karnataka to the Commissioner of the BBMP, the Commissioner of Police, and representatives from the DULT, BWSSB, BMRCL. Bengaluru is resilient and has the tenacity to overcome temporary setbacks and issues. We have received a few suggestions from the ORRCA representatives & industry experts, and these are being evaluated, as well. In a time of crisis, it is easy to criticise, it is important to focus, and above all, being able to focus on the task at hand, collaborate across, bring people together, and resolve the situation, is the reason this government was elected by the people.

Spring sunsets on Porquerolles are the colour of rosé. They’re the same glowing pink as the slivers of quartz that squeeze out of a rocky millefeuille of schist that forms the foundation of the Mediterranean island off the coast of Provence. They match the stucco on the villas that sparsely dot the landscape and the spiky succulents that fill their gardens.
The connections that your mind starts to make on Porquerolles are inevitable given the land’s biodiversity, where thyme, pine trees combed back by the wind and flowering shrubbery mingle on every hillside. They make it easy to understand why the French government bought 80 per cent of the island in 1971 to protect it as a national park, an initiative that has managed to keep the population steady at around 200 full-time residents. The move also helps temper the impact of thousands of day trippers who arrive to mountain bike along its mostly car-free dirt roads to the beaches during the summer.
Shuffled among that protected land are four valleys that are Porquerolles’ only agricultural plots. On three of them, you’ll find the rolle, mourvèdre, syrah, grenache, tibouren and cinsault vines of Domaine de l’Ile, a winery that specializes in that Riviera sunset in a glass. Like the trees and the flowers and the rocks, its wines are uniquely of this place with a savoury character that captures the sea and the land and the wind.
They’re part of another story too, one that has its root in a place that feels a world away from this wild countryside: the fashion runways of Paris. Discretely printed on the wine’s back label are the capital letters: C-H-A-N-E-L. Domaine de l’Ile is the fourth French winery – and the first outside of Bordeaux – that has been purchased by the fashion brand since the mid-1990s. Its future is tied to Chanel’s desire to preserve the best of French know-how in its fashion ateliers and beyond.
For the first time, the winery’s team invited a magazine to experience its entire French portfolio (the company also owns the St. Supéry winery in California’s Napa Valley). The journey from Porquerolles through Bordeaux by boat, airplane and a stable of vintage Land Rovers emphasizes how challenging it is to manage wineries across such vast distances, varied styles and unique terroirs. It also highlights the level of craftsmanship and community needed to meet its owner’s discerning standards.
Back to the earth
On the well-travelled coast of Provence, Porquerolles still manages to escape the itineraries of most visitors from abroad. But it’s a familiar spot for Nicolas Audebert, who has headed up Chanel’s wine operation since 2014, when he moved home to France after 10 years of managing wineries in Argentina. Audebert grew up northwest of Porquerolles in Toulon and spent his summers sailing around the island’s towering cliffs. In 2019, he led the group’s acquisition of Domaine de l’Ile, which added a fourth winery to its roster of French properties including Grand Cru estates Château Canon and Château Berliquet in Saint-Émilion, and Château Rauzan-Ségla in Margaux.
The term “terroir” is well used in the wine world to build sentiment around how grapes absorb the characteristics of the environments where they grow. The appellations of each of Chanel’s wineries illustrate how drastically varied these agricultural lands can be. On the right bank of Bordeaux’s Dordogne river at Canon, you can climb down into the winery’s cellar and enter a warren of limestone caves. Above your head, the roots of its 34 hectares of merlot and cabernet franc vines have found their way through veins of clay to anchor themselves 10 metres below the soil. Moving along Rauzan-Ségla’s land from the Gironde estuary to its château sees clay give way to fine gravel and sand.
Porquerolles’ combination of Mediterranean sunshine, unrelenting winds, crashing waves and rich soil make environmental conditions a particularly influential force at Domaine de l’Ile. “You can make wine by technology but you arrive at a point where technology stops [influencing the outcome],” says Audebert. “To reach the highest point of the pyramid, there’s a gap where it’s no more technology. It’s sense of place. It’s terroir. It’s something special. There’s that in Porquerolles. It’s South of France, it’s Provence, it’s sunny, it’s island. It’s a wine that’s playing on the romanticism of the place and the uniqueness of that very special rock.”
Knowledge exchange
Chanel’s winemaking venture started in 1994 when the company purchased Château Rauzan-Ségla. Two years later, it bought Château Canon, effectively anchoring its winery operation on Bordeaux’s duelling riverbanks. All was quiet on the acquisition front until Château Berliquet was added to the mix in 2017. Operating Berliquet hadn’t been part of Audebert’s plan but its property, effectively in Canon’s front yard, came up for grabs.
Audebert doesn’t talk about these wineries like the conglomerates other luxury houses assemble. “We speak about individual wineries owned by the same house, like a wine art house owned by Chanel,” he says. “Chanel gives us the possibility to be independent, to develop every property in its own way with no compromise.”
Part of maintaining that independence is respecting each winery’s history. “It helps Canon, Rauzan, Berliquet, Domaine de l’Ile to work at the highest level but they stay individual,” he says. “They have their own history before Chanel. Rauzan is Rauzan and it’s [been] Rauzan for [hundreds of] years.”
Canon’s origin story is, perhaps, the most dramatic of the wineries. Founder Jacques Kanon was a privateer, essentially a pirate who had been given permission to pillage on behalf of the French king. Domaine de l’Ile traces its roots to François Joseph Fournier, who made his fortune in Mexican gold and used it to buy Porquerolles for his new bride as a wedding present. The plots his family held onto after the sale to the French government were used to develop the winemaking business.
“We share the same philosophy. It’s about [putting] precision and elegance into the wine. It’s easy in the wine world to be big, to be powerful, to be showing off, to be impressive,” says Audebert. “There’s a lot of château here [in Bordeaux] with that huge allée of trees going to a big château with gold on the roof – it’s not us.”
Audebert himself is the other common link. “It’s interesting to have complementary properties. We learn lots one from the other one,” he says. “Of course, it’s challenging because it’s different sites, different speeds, different levels of evolution. Berliquet, it’s a story we just started. Rauzan, we are established 25 years ago. For my team, it’s challenging to keep the properties separated with DNA [and the] way of making things, but they interact a lot and they learn.”
A common craft
On the city of Bordeaux’s Garonne riverfront, across from Place des Quinconces, is a long wooden dock lined with Chris-Craft powerboats. The sleek craft have all been rebuilt by Le Chantier Naval Nicolas, a local operation that has been restoring the collectible boats since 1982.
When Audebert wants to travel between his Bordeaux wineries, he could make the hour-long drive between Saint-Émilion and Margaux. But Audebert grew up on the water and sometimes he prefers to commute via these stylish speeders. He can disembark at a fishing hut on stilts that was built on Margaux’s shore to welcome Château Rauzan-Ségla’s guests for tastings of its silky blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.
Aside from the rush of cruising down the river, Audebert appreciates Chantier Nicolas as a likeminded enterprise that’s meant to preserve – and exchange – French savoir-faire, a philosophy that’s central to his work in viniculture. This viewpoint also forms how he sees his wineries fitting into Chanel’s fashion and beauty system.
“I think there’s a lot of connections. When you go to the Chanel flower fields in Grasse, they are agriculture, they depend on the climate, the date of harvest,” he says about factors that affect the volume and intensity of Chanel’s Provençal yield of roses and jasmine for its perfumes. “They turn that into a product that the master blender will put with other [ingredients]. It will change the way he’s building the components – every year differently – to create something consistent. We do exactly the same thing here.”

Ancore Health announces the launch of its newly designed branding and website to bolster the company's rapid growth
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ancore Health, a cutting-edge healthcare consulting and analytics firm, is thrilled to unveil their updated branding, along with a newly designed website. Founded in late 2016, Ancore Health uses a mix of data analysis, strategy, and consulting to illuminate a path forward for healthcare providers. By partnering with healthcare leaders to align their economic goals with their mission, Ancore is empowering healthcare organizations with clear-cut paths for success.
Opened on the heels of his wife's Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, Eric Passon founded Ancore Health in order to reimagine a world of healthcare that is mission-driven. In early 2016, the healthcare consulting and analytics ace made the radical decision to embrace some much-needed family time, following over 15 valuable years of experience at The Advisory Board Company and Southwind Health Partners. In his time away from the corporate world, Passon discovered a new passion: reinventing the world of healthcare. By the end of the year, he made the decision to start a new company, one that combined his operational, consulting, networking, and personal healthcare experience... Thus, Ancore Health was born.
Six years later, Ancore Health has empowered a wide portfolio of healthcare clients to bridge the gap between purpose and profit. Recently, they have moved into a new office space to accommodate business expansion and allow for necessary employee acquisition. Designed and executed by ThreeSixtyEight, the new branding and website reflect this new company footprint and Ancore's continued growth. The user-friendly interface allows the viewer to quickly and easily navigate the site. Website visitors will also note a richer and more developed blog, where they can learn from Ancore's top minds.
Founder Eric Passon says of the redesign: "Like many young companies our path from where we started was not 100% predictable. After five years, we have matured, hired talented people, served incredible clients, and most importantly know who we are and who we are not. This rebranding process has been the culmination of this journey. We are excited to tell our story and help provider groups unlock their potential."
Ancore Health is grateful to ThreeSixtyEight for their hard work, and is delighted with the new branding and website. They look forward to providing their clients with a larger breadth of information in a more user-friendly format.

Samsung Display has just unveiled the world's first ever 77-inch QD-OLED panel TV, thus increasing your future QD-OLED TV screen size options by a substantial 12 inches.
Right now, your QD-OLED display choices are limited to 55- and a 65-inch versions of the TV, made by Samsung and Sony, although the 65-inch Samsung S95B is truly excellent, gaining a rare five-star review from this publication.
Samsung Display revealed the new 77-inch screen, the first ever expansion of its QD-OLED TV size options, at the International Meeting on Information Display (IMID 2022), which is an industry show in Busan, South Korea – although only a panel has been shown so far. No actual TV was shown at Samsung Electronics' event at the recent IFA 2022 tech show, so availability probably won't happen until 2023.
This QD-OLED is not to be confused with LG's largest OLED TV, a 97-inch stunner which did make an appearance at IFA – no, this is almost certainly part of the hoped-for expansion of Samsung's cheaper QD-OLED TVs resulting from the South Korean tech giant's investment in improving the efficiency and scale of making the next-gen QD-OLED panels.
QD-OLED mixes the Quantum Dot color technology that Samsung's QLEDs are famed for with the pixel-precise contrast of OLED, to give you the best of both – but it's expensive to make, currently. Hopefully, this new size is a sign than the boosts the tech needs to be able to start dropping its prices and being more flexible with screen sizes are in progress.
Analysis: cheaper QD-OLEDs in 2023 are highly likely, and it's very good news
In order to compete directly with the regular (and cheaper) OLED panels used in the best OLED TVs currently on the market, Samsung did need to work on shrinking its cost prices, and it seems to have delivered – most likely through reported improvements in the efficiency of making the screens (meaning much less wasted material to make each working panel).
More efficient production means cheaper production, and with QD-OLED TVs currently ranking right at the very top of 4K TV prices, a price drop is exactly what they needed to take them towards the mainstream, though it's TechRadar's understanding that QD-OLED panels are still much more expensive than regular OLED panels.
So far, 2022 has given us the first 55- and 65-inch QD-OLED TVs from Samsung and Sony, plus the inaugural 34-inch QD-OLED monitor from Dell.
Remember, QD-OLED panels are solely produced by Samsung Display, so with a 77-inch panel now a reality, expect QD-OLED TVs to grow in size in the near future.
Concrete details (official pricing, availability, resolution) are thin on the ground, but the panel most likely features 4K resolution and the same kind of 1,000-nit brightness in the real world that current QD-OLED screens hit.
The first 77-inch QD-OLED TV probably won't appear until 2023 (CES, January 2023, we're looking at you) but if you need something now, check out the best OLED deals live this month – and note that Samsung Display is also rumored to be working on a 49-inch QD-OLED panel, allegedly intended for monitors.

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted radiotherapies to deliver cancer-killing radiation with cellular level precision to treat patients with high unmet needs not addressed by traditional cancer therapies. Actinium's current clinical pipeline is led by ARCs or Antibody Radiation-Conjugates that are being applied to targeted conditioning, which is intended to selectively deplete a patient's disease or cancer cells and certain immune cells prior to a BMT or Bone Marrow Transplant, Gene Therapy or Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT) such as CAR-T to enable engraftment of these transplanted cells with minimal toxicities. Actinium's targeted conditioning ARCs seek to improve patient outcomes and access to these potentially curative treatments by eliminating or reducing the non-targeted chemotherapy that is used for conditioning in standard practice currently. Our lead product candidate, I-131 apamistamab (Iomab-B) has been studied in over four hundred patients including the pivotal Phase 3 Study of Iomab-B in Elderly Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (SIERRA) trial for BMT conditioning that complete patient enrollment in the third quarter of 2021. Topline data from the SIERRA trial is expected in the fourth quarter of 2022. In April 2022, we announced we licensed the EUMENA commercial rights for Iomab-B to Immedica AB in exchange for $35 million upfront, with a $452 million total deal value and mid-twenty percent royalties. Iomab-ACT, low dose I-131 apamistamab is being studied as a targeted conditioning agent in a Phase 1 study with a CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In addition, we are leaders in the field of Actinium-225 alpha therapies. Actimab-A, our clinical stage CD33 targeting ARC alpha therapy has been studied in nearly 150 patients including our ongoing combination trials with the salvage chemotherapy CLAG-M and the Bcl-2 targeted therapy venetoclax. Underpinning our clinical programs is our proprietary AWE (Antibody Warhead Enabling) technology platform. This is where our intellectual property portfolio of over 190 patents and patent applications, know-how, collective research and expertise in the field are leveraged to design and study novel targeted radiotherapies and combinations to strategically bolster our pipeline. Our AWE technology platform is currently being utilized in collaborative research partnerships with Astellas Pharma, Inc. for solid tumor theranostics, with AVEO Oncology to create an Actinium-225 HER3 targeting radiotherapy for solid tumors, and with EpicentRx, Inc.to create targeted radiotherapy combinations with their novel, clinical stage small molecule CD47-SIRPα inhibitor.

The new NFL season kicks off Thursday night in Los Angeles, and my first prediction of the year is that the teams playing the initial game of 2022 also will meet in the final one in February 2023.
Before we get to Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., however, here’s a look at eight things to expect over the next several months from a league that saw several starting quarterbacks, other stars and big-name announcers switch teams in a whirlwind offseason, including one who will be suspended until at least Week 12.
New York…New York
The Giants and the Jets — and their respective hopefuls at starting quarterback, Daniel Jones and, eventually, Zach Wilson — need to show tangible improvement this year, but there won’t be enough of it to put an end to what have been lengthy postseason droughts for both local franchises, including dual 4-13 records in 2021.
Wilson already has been declared out until a potential return in Week 4 against the Steelers due to his preseason knee issues, meaning 37-year-old Joe Flacco will open the season Sunday against the Ravens, his primary former team. Despite offseason improvements via free agency and the draft, the Jets need to survive a mostly daunting first-half schedule before a Week 10 bye if second-year coach Robert Saleh’s team looks to avoid a 12th straight season out of the playoffs.
Jones, who missed the final month last season due to a neck injury, begins a pivotal season in his career Sunday against the Titans, needing to convince the latest Giants regime — GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll — that he can be a franchise quarterback deserving of a new contract after the organization declined to pick up his fifth-year option for 2023. A key to possibly avoiding the 10th playoff whiff in 11 years since Super Bowl XLVI could be improvements in the pass rush and pass protection if top-10 draft picks — edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and right tackle Evan Neal — can make instant contributions.
Pete’s pick: Both playoff droughts continue.
The Brady hunch
We’ve all learned by now never to count out Tom Brady throughout his remarkable career, especially after the seven-time Super Bowl champion threw for a career-high 5,316 yards with his second-most touchdown passes (43) during his second season with the Buccaneers. Despite abruptly ending his 40-day retirement in March, it certainly feels as if the pull of family and a pending lucrative broadcasting career will make this season the 45-year-old Brady’s farewell tour.
Pete’s pick: Brady’s final season ends without an eighth title.
Look who’s talking
Kevin Burkhart’s remarkable ascension on the national stage continues this season as the former Mets sideline reporter takes over as the No. 1 play-by-play man on Fox, alongside Greg Olson, at least until Brady finally retires and begins his $375 million broadcasting deal. Only CBS will return the same No. 1 booth duo from last season, although Tony Romo (alongside Jim Nantz) needs to rediscover his most provocative form from his debut season as an analyst in 2018. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman jumping from Fox to “Monday Night Football” on ESPN changes nothing for me; I’ll still only watch the traditional broadcast on those Mondays when Eli and Peyton aren’t hosting their fun and innovative “Manningcast” show.
Pete’s pick: Whatever the news, The Post’s Andrew Marchand will break it.
It’s elementary, Mr. Watson
Deshaun Watson should have received a sterner penalty than the 11 games commissioner Roger Goodell ultimately agreed to suspend Watson over the sexual misconduct allegations levied against him by 25 female massage therapists. The 26-year-old Watson, who sat out all of last season while under investigation, was guaranteed an NFL-record $230 million following an offseason trade from the Texans to the Browns. He is eligible to return (Dec. 4) for Week 13 in Houston, which clearly will present the most circus-like atmosphere of the season.
Pete’s pick: Browns fans/fantasy owners will support Watson, as long as he wins/produces.
Ch-ch-ch-ch changes
In addition to Watson, the revolving door among starting quarterbacks whipped around throughout the offseason, with Russell Wilson (Broncos), Matt Ryan (Colts), Baker Mayfield (Panthers), Carson Wentz (Commanders), Marcus Mariota (Falcons) and Mitch Trubisky (Steelers) switching teams. Star receivers Davante Adams (Raiders), Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) and A.J. Brown (Eagles) and pass rushers Von Miller (Bills), Khalil Mack (Chargers) and Chandler Jones (Raiders) also have relocated. Which player do you believe will have the largest immediate impact?
Pete’s pick: Wilson will lead Denver to the playoffs for the first time since 2015.
Pay that man his money
It’s understandable why the Giants need more time to determine whether Jones is the franchise quarterback beyond this season, but are the Ravens really going to let 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson enter his free-agent walk year without a new mega-contract? Jackson told reporters this week that he has set a Friday deadline to ink a contract extension, two days before he and the Ravens will open the season against the Jets. Wilson, Watson, Aaron Rodgers, Kyler Murray, Matthew Stafford and Derek Carr each signed this offseason for at least $40 million annually. Among that group, only Rodgers has been named league MVP.
Pete’s pick: No deal.
The new wave
Joe Burrow led the Bengals to the AFC title last season, and Justin Herbert is on the precipice of superstardom with the Chargers. Which highly drafted quarterback will be next to make that jump? Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson, the top two picks of the 2021 draft, endured up-and-down rookie campaigns while No. 3 pick Trey Lance hardly got on the field in San Francisco. Tua Tagovailoa owns a 13-8 record as a starter with the Dolphins, who added Hill as a dynamic target in the offseason. The Bears likely don’t have enough talent this year for second-year starter Justin Fields to make a significant difference.
Pete’s pick: Lawrence cuts down on the INTs (17 last season) and posts big numbers for the Jaguars.
Super Bowl preview, for openers?
The Rams’ quest to be the first repeat Super Bowl winners since the Patriots in the 2003 and 2004 seasons begins Thursday night against Josh Allen and the Bills, a rising team widely believed to be a top contender in the AFC. Buffalo signed Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker, away from the Rams, who also lost late-season contributor Odell Beckham Jr. to a knee injury. Veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner and receiver Allen Robinson were signed as replacements. With defensive stud Aaron Donald putting off retirement and offensive stalwarts Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp also returning under coach Sean McVay, the Rams are among the favorites again — with the Packers and the Bucs — out of the NFC.
Pete’s pick: This is my Super Bowl pick, with the Bills finally winning the first championship in team history.
Today’s back page
The American dream
Tennis fans have waited for the next great American male to emerge for nearly two decades, and Frances Tiafoe finally has put it all together over the past 10 days at Flushing Meadows.
The 24-year-old from Maryland, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Sierra Leone, became the first American men’s singles player to reach the U.S. Open semifinals since 2006 with a straight-sets takedown Wednesday against Andrey Rublev — one round after he eliminated 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal.
Andy Roddick, who was in attendance Wednesday, was the last American man to reach the semis; he also is the last one to capture any Grand Slam title, winning here in 2003.
“This is wild, crazy, the biggest win of my life 24 hours ago and coming back with this,” said Tiafoe, who will face Carlos Alcaraz in Friday’s semifinals. “This court is unbelievable. I feel at home. Let’s enjoy this one, but we got two more.”
Sweep dreams (are made of this)
The Mets relinquishing sole possession of first place in the NL East lasted one day. They will carry a half-game lead over the Braves through Thursday’s off-day for both teams and into a weekend road series beginning Friday against the Marlins after a doubleheader sweep Wednesday in Pittsburgh.
The Mets had dropped three of their previous four games against the eliminated Nationals and Pirates, before Chris Bassitt and Jacob deGrom combined to work 14 innings in 5-1 and 10-0 victories at PNC Park.
The Yankees matched the Mets’ sweep, winning the nightcap against the Twins following a walk-off win in 12 innings in the opener. They still lead second-place Tampa Bay by five games entering Thursday’s series finale against Minnesota before the Rays come to town for a pivotal three-game set beginning Friday night.

Monday's quake, the strongest to hit the province since 2017, has injured more than 270 people, while 35 are missing, CCTV news reported.
Authorities have reopened roads to the epicenter of the quake at Luding. The town was rattled by a 2.9 magnitude aftershock late on Wednesday, state media reported.
Weather forecasters issued an orange warning, the second highest, for possible geological disasters in Luding, which can include landslides. A less severe yellow warning was issued for central and western Sichuan.
In China's four-tier weather warning system, red represents the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

Ukrainian forces retake Russian-held territory near Kharkiv
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian forces in the northeastern Kharkiv region have retaken portions of Russian-held territory there as a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south has drained some of Moscow’s resources in the area, according to a report released Wednesday.
Ukrainian forces in the Kharkiv region are “likely exploiting Russian force reallocation” to areas near the occupied city of Kherson in the south “to conduct an opportunistic yet highly effective counteroffensive” in the province, Washington-based think tank Institute for the Study of War said.
Ukrainian forces likely used “tactical surprise” to advance at least 12 miles (20 kilometers) into Russian-held territory in the Kharkiv region on Wednesday, recapturing approximately 155 square miles (400 square kilometers) of ground, the report said.
Vitaly Ganchev, the Moscow-backed mayor of the town of Kupiansk in a Russian-occupied area of the Kharkiv region, said Thursday that authorities had begun evacuating women and children from the town and nearby areas because of relentless Ukrainian shelling.
In his nightly video address on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also reported success in the Kharkiv region but didn’t provide details on its scope.
“This week we have good news from the Kharkiv region. You have probably already seen reports about the activity of Ukrainian defenders, and I think every citizen feels proud of our warriors,” Zelenskyy said.
The gains came as Ukraine continued to mount a counteroffensive in the southern Kherson region, where the Ukrainian military is trying to retake territory from the Russians and has claimed the recapture of an unspecified number of towns.
Ukraine’s ongoing operations near Kherson have forced Russian forces to shift their focus to the south, the Institute for the Study of War report said, enabling Ukrainian forces to launch localized but highly effective counterattacks near Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
Zelenskyy’s presidential adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych, also spoke of Ukrainian gains near Kharkiv late Wednesday, saying they would help disrupt supplies to Russian forces in the area and potentially lead to their encirclement.
Meanwhile, tensions continued to simmer around Europe’s largest nuclear power plant where Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of threatening a nuclear disaster by shelling near the facility.
The towns of Nikopol and Marhanets, which face the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant across the Dnieper river, had come under Russian shelling overnight that left apartment buildings, a school, some industrial facilities and power lines damaged, said Valentyn Reznichenko, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk province.
“The nuclear threat isn’t abating because of Russia’s mad actions and we need to consider all possible scenarios, including the worst one,” Reznichenko said in televised remarks.
The head of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has warned that “something very, very catastrophic could take place” at the Zaporizhzhia plant and urged Russia and Ukraine to establish a “nuclear safety and security protection zone” around it.
The fear is that the fighting could trigger a disaster on the scale of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk urged residents of Russian-occupied areas near the power plant to evacuate, adding that Ukrainian authorities have urged the Russians to set up humanitarian corridors to evacuate local residents but received no response.
“The Russians are continuing to blackmail the Ukrainians and the entire world,” Vereshchuk said. “The Russian state engages in nuclear terrorism, setting the first such precedent in the history of mankind.”
Ukraine’s Enerhoatom company that oversees the country’s nuclear plants said that the Zaporizhzhia plant’s workers were continuing repair works on Thursday to restore at least one of seven power lines to the plant, which has continued to operate with only one of six reactors operating to power the cooling system’s pumps.
Enerhoatom’s chief Petro Kotin said that the IAEA’s proposals to improve safety at the plant can only be implemented if Russian troops leave and are replaced by a peacekeeping contingent.
IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
— Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed agreement on Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s complaint that most of the grain from Ukraine’s reopened ports have gone to richer parts of the world. Putin said this week that practically all of the grain exported from Ukraine under a deal brokered by Ankara and the United Nations that lifted Russia’s blockade on Ukrainian ports had gone to European Union nations instead of poorer countries. Speaking in Zagreb, Croatia, on the last day of his three-day Balkan tour, Erdogan said that Turkey wished for the grain “to be delivered to really poor countries,” and urged the shipment of food and fertilizers from Russia to begin soon.
— Norway said Thursday it will donate approximately 160 Hellfire missiles to Ukraine as well as launching pads and guidance units. During a meeting in Germany, Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said his country would also supply Ukraine with night vision equipment, adding that Kyiv had requested the weapons.
— The chief of the Ukrainian military, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyy, acknowledged in an article published Wednesday that explosions and fires at air bases in the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula last month were caused by a “successful series of rocket strikes on Crimean air bases.” It marked the first official acknowledgement of responsibility for the attacks by Ukrainian authorities. Zaluzhnyy gave no details of the attacks.
— Ukraine’s presidential office said that at least 10 people were killed and another 15 were wounded by Russian shelling over the last 24 hours.

(WKBN) – Certain masks for BiPAP and CPAP machines have been recalled, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA said that Philips Respironics (Philips) has recalled certain masks used with bilevel positive airway pressure (also known as Bilevel PAP, BiPAP or BPAP) machines and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines due to a safety concern that involves magnets.
More than 17 million masks are impacted by this recall. According to a press release from the FDA, five mask types are affected by the recall: the DreamWisp, DreamWear, Amara View, Wisp and Wisp Youth masks.
The magnets can affect the movement of certain implanted metallic medical devices, which could cause injury or death to the mask user or the person sleeping near the mask user.
The machines help people with conditions that include obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory insufficiency or respiratory failure as well as health conditions that cause pauses in breathing during sleep.
Philips reported 14 serious injuries, including pacemaker failure, arrhythmia, seizures and irregular blood pressure related to the use of the recalled masks.
You can find more information on the FDA’s website.

- Data from University Hospital Basel (UHB) study supports the clinical development of MindMed's proprietary MM-120 product candidate for Generalized Anxiety Disorder ("GAD") –
- Patient dosing in Phase 2b trial ongoing for MM-120 in GAD–
- MindMed currently owns and retains all clinical data and manufacturing rights for MM-120 and intends to continue broadening its intellectual property portfolio -
NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD), (NEO: MMED), (the "Company" or "MindMed"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel products to treat brain health disorders, today announced that the manuscript "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide-Assisted Therapy In Patients With Anxiety With And Without A Life-Threatening Illness A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Study," has been published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Biological Psychiatry. The paper expands on previously reported positive data that was featured in an oral presentation at the PSYCH Symposium in London on May 11, 2022.
Rob Barrow, CEO and Director of MindMed, stated: "This paper further reinforces the positive preliminary evidence for LSD in patients who suffer from anxiety disorders. Acute administration of LSD produced long-lasting and notable reductions of anxiety and comorbid depression symptoms for up to 16 weeks. These results are encouraging and supportive of our proprietary MM-120 product candidate in its potential to one day offer a therapeutic benefit for patients suffering from GAD after just a single-dose administration."
"Patient dosing in our Phase 2b trial for MM-120 is ongoing and we are continuing to leverage this momentum in our mission to bring our novel therapeutic option to market. We believe MM-120 has a highly attractive commercial opportunity given its potential benefits for GAD patients. We also continue to advance our efforts to further strengthen the protection of our intellectual property and proprietary technology that is important to our business. Our exclusive rights to the data from this study through our strong and productive collaboration with the Liechti Lab at UHB only enhance our leading position in the development of MM-120. We continue to protect and build on this position by filing multiple layers of intellectual property applications and continue to retain clinical data, manufacturing rights to and know-how for our proprietary MM-120 product, which we believe offers significant advantages as a pharmaceutical product over the free-base form of LSD."
Daniel R. Karlin, MD, MA, Chief Medical Officer of MindMed, added, "GAD is a debilitating mental health disorder that is often insufficiently managed with available medications and can significantly impair one's ability to function. We are encouraged by the lasting effects observed in this robust clinical study, which further highlights the therapeutic potential of MM-120 to address the unmet need for novel treatment options."
- MindMed's lead drug candidate, MM-120, is a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of LSD D-Tartrate that is separate from the free-base form of LSD (CAS-50-37-3).
- The Company also has a broad, multi-year exclusive research partnership with UHB in addition to exclusive worldwide rights to data, compounds and patent rights associated with UHB's research on LSD and other compounds, including data from preclinical studies and ongoing LSD trials.
- The Phase 2b trial in patients diagnosed with GAD is a multi-center, parallel, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-optimization study. The trial is expected to enroll 200 participants who will receive a single administration of up to 200 µg of MM-120 or placebo.
- The primary objective is to determine the reduction in anxiety symptoms four weeks after a single administration of MM-120, compared across the five treatment arms. Key secondary objectives, measured up to 12 weeks after the single administration, include assessments of safety and tolerability as well as quality of life. More information about the trial is available on MindMed's website (mindmed.co) or on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05407064).
- As detailed in the Company's 2022 annual report on Form 10-K, MindMed's patent strategy includes pursuing protection for compositions of matter, methods of treatment, and diagnostic devices and analytics related to psychedelics. MindMed's patent portfolio includes 26 pending U.S. applications, and 12 pending Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications. If granted, patents based on these applications have a projected expiry date beginning in 2040.
- The Company intends to continue its multifaceted strategy of seeking and maintaining patents intended to cover its product candidates and compositions, their methods of use and processes for their manufacture, and any other aspects of inventions or applications such as digital medicine approaches that are commercially important to the development of our business. We retain all rights to the intellectual property we have acquired and developed internally and remain highly confident in our intellectual property strategy.
MindMed is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel products to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a pipeline of innovative drug candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting the serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine systems.
MindMed trades on NASDAQ under the symbol MNMD and on the Canadian NEO Exchange under the symbol MMED.

SARIKEI (Sept 8): Eight longhouses in Ulu Sungai Rusa, Jalan Kesa near here have yet to be connected to the water supply main grid, said Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sarikei Branch chief Yee Chin Kui.
Acting on complaints made by residents of the eight longhouses, Yee recently led his team to conduct a site inspection and found out that the longhouses are still not provided with safe treated water.
In a statement released to the press, Yee claimed that the eight longhouses, namely Rh Thomas, Rh Admano, Rh Jengayang, Rah Luing, Rh Munan, Rh Ayu, Rh Gani and Rh Papit were not or have yet to be connected to the state water supply main grid.
“500 residents from 109 households of the eight longhouses are still depending on river water for bathing, washing and for other daily chores.
“Rain water is stored in big tanks for drinking and preparing food,” Yee said in a statement.
According to the residents, they have been living with the problem since they built their longhouses some 30 years ago, where the problem worsens during the dry season.
“River dries up and the water turns murky, and this situation of having no supply of safe, clean water for cooking and drinking is unbearable,” according to one of the residents.
“Those in the low-income group or B40 are the worst hit as they have to depend on river water for drinking and of course it is not a big problem for those who can afford to buy bottled drinks,” said Yee.
“The problem was further aggravated by the fact that river water is now contaminated by chemicals from pesticides, weedicides and fertilisers extensively used by the farming community,” he added.
Other than the eight longhouses, they discovered that clean water supply problem is also currently faced by three other longhouses in KM 4, Jalan Kim Sam in Sarikei namely Rumah Empenie, Rumah Chuat and Rumah Patrick which have about 300 residents.
“PKR Sarikei sympathizes with the residents of the longhouses in the rural areas of Sarikei because even though Sarawak has participated in the formation of Malaysia for 59 years, the state government is still unable to provide the most basic need, which is the supply of clean water to the people of Sarawak.
“PKR Sarikei hopes that the leader of the Sarawak Government will actually go down to the longhouses in the rural areas to understand and identify the problems that have plagued them for decades. Longhouse residents feel sad and angry because they will only be remembered during elections.”
With the implementation of the Rajang Delta Development Agency (RADDA) and the allocation of RM1.5 billion, it is hoped to be able to provide and speed up facilities and basic needs as well as other infrastructure in the longhouse area especially the Rajang delta covering area.
“PKR Sarikei hopes that the state government can give assurance to the people of Sarawak to ensure cases of embezzlement and corruption such as the project of Solar Power Supply to Sarawak rural schools would not happen again,” said the statement.

Tokyo, Sept. 8 (Jiji Press)--Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Thursday that his government will compile a comprehensive package of economic measures to fight soaring prices next month.
Kishida told reporters that the government will consider a fiscal 2022 second supplementary budget to finance the economic package.
The government plans to adopt near-term measures to combat high prices on Friday.
The near-term measures will include providing 50,000 yen in benefits to each low-income household and 600 billion yen in grants to municipalities, Kishida said.
He said the government will extend its subsidy program aimed at curbing soaring gasoline prices, currently set to expire at the end of this month, until the end of the year. It plans to reduce the amount of subsidies in stages toward the year-end.

Yankees star Aaron Judge hits homer number 55, keeping pace to reach 65
By Amy Woodyatt, CNN
Aaron Judge might be chasing a record, but he knows it’s important to keep pace.
The Yankees slugger hit his 55th home run in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium.
The fourth-inning homer carried the Yankees to a 5-4 win and keeps Judge on the path for the Most Valuable Player award — though he still faces stiff competition from Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani.
With 25 games remaining, Judge is on pace to hit 65 home runs — which would set a new Yankees record for most in a season. To reach the milestone, he needs to hit one homer every 2.5 games.
Judge is also just six homers away from tying Roger Maris’ 1961 American League record of 61.
“I was happy to get a run on the board,” Judge said following New York’s 7-1 win in the second game of the doubleheader.
“That’s all I can really say. The rookie [Twins pitcher Louie Varland] was making his debut and kind of had us shut down there for a little bit. He had a good quick pace, working all of his pitches. It [Judge’s home run] kind of got some stuff going, got this offense going a little bit,” he added, according to MLB.com.
The season has the potential to be a historic one for the 30-year-old slugger — with six home runs in April, 12 in May, 11 in June, 13 in July, nine in August and four this month, Judge is inching ever closer to 65 homer tally.
If he reaches the mark, it would be the fifth 65-plus home run season in MLB history. The most ever in a single season was by Barry Bonds in 2001 when he finished with 73.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Major League Baseball Players Association is joining the AFL-CIO in an effort to strengthen its position in the aftermath of one labor struggle and in the midst of another.
Executive director Tony Clark made the announcement Wednesday alongside AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler during an event at the National Press Club, discussing the MLBPA’s attempt to unionize minor leaguers following a nearly 100-day lockout that delayed the start of the season.
Clark cited lessons learned from 2020, when minor league baseball was not played, as a major impetus for this decision.
“Over the past couple of years, our experiences have suggested now is the right time to have that conversation,” he said. “We are in a world now where strengthening our organization, strengthening our player fraternity by bringing the minor leaguers under our umbrella, as well as joining the AFL-CIO and doing so alongside our brothers and sisters that are part of the labor movement, together we’re going to navigate that chaos, and together we’re going to work through it.”
Shuler called it “an incredible moment for the labor movement.” Clark said baseball players want to strengthen their organization by supporting minor leaguers and becoming part of the AFL-CIO.
The MLBPA is the 58th union to affiliate with the AFL-CIO, the largest labor federation in the U.S. with 12.5 million members. The AFL-CIO’s Sports Council already included players’ associations from the NFL, National Women’s Soccer League, United Soccer League and U.S. Women’s National Team.
The International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, whose members are involved in broadcasting and staging major league games, voiced support for the move.
“Today’s announcement was a winning play by the players’ association,” president Matthew D. Loeb said in a statement. “We look forward to working in solidarity with the MLBPA to improve both the fan experience and the work lives of our members.”
The MLPBA on Tuesday asked management to voluntarily accept the union as the bargaining agent for minor leaguers. Bruce Meyer, the union’s deputy executive director, sent a letter to MLB Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem that claimed a majority of roughly 5,400 minor leaguers had signed authorization cards.
Clark repeated that assertion Wednesday, saying “thousands” of cards had been returned.
The MLBPA, which reached its first collective bargaining agreement for major leaguers in 1968, launched the minor league unionization drive Aug. 28. Players with minor league contracts, who earn as little as $400 weekly during the six-month season, would become their own bargaining unit within the MLBPA.
If MLB does not voluntarily accept the union, signed cards from 30% of the 5,000 to 6,500 minor leaguers in the bargaining unit would allow the union to file a petition to the National Labor Relations Board asking for a union authorization election. A majority vote in an election would authorize union representation.
“We support the MLBPA’s position, and so we’ll bring the full breadth and scope of the labor movement to back them up,” Shuler said. “And we hope that the league does the right thing.”
Baseball and the players settled on terms of a new collective bargaining agreement in March, ending the sport’s ninth work stoppage after 99 days and clearing the way for a full, 162-game regular season with opening day pushed back a week.

Mary McClain: Define park’s fire risk
We’re learning more about proposed fire mitigation projects as our local sales tax issue is being discussed. Per Supervisor Ed Scofield’s recent article, I’m interested in the Woodpecker Ravine Project that would create a location where wildfire could be stopped before progressing toward Empire Mine State Park and downtown Grass Valley.
The park’s website states it contains 856 acres of forested backcountry. It borders my neighborhood and many others, with evacuation route Highway 174 running through it. Much of these forests have seen no fuel reduction for decades. I’ve been advocating since 2018 for fuel reduction on the park property. Apparently, the budget is very limited.
It could be futile to treat land around the park if it remains a tinder box. If the sales tax won’t address this issue, will the Board of Supervisors commit to a sustained effort to lobby for it at the state level? The county’s statements on the proposed sales tax identify numerous stakeholders, but not State Parks. They are our neighbor and they NEED to be a partner.
Please define the park’s fire risk in relation to other projects, and then commit to a consistent campaign of advocacy to manage the park’s fuel loads.

Newcastle United in shock move for free agent following Liverpool exit
Newcastle United are close to signing former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius – after Karl Darlow suffered an injury in training.
Sky Sports report that Darlow tore ankle ligaments yesterday, and is facing a spell on the sidelines. Martin Dubravka, loaned to Manchester United last week, can't be recalled until January. The 33-year-old left after losing his place to Nick Pope.
Karius, 29, left Liverpool this summer after a loan spell at Union Berlin, and is available as a free agent. Pope, signed from Burnley this summer in a £10million deal, is Eddie Howe’s first choice goalkeeper. United’s head coach also has Mark Gillespie available.

Confidence level among students of CBSE, ICSE marginally higher than those of state boards: Survey
Interestingly, the trend is similar in metro and non-metro cities, although the size of the influencer segment in metros 44 pc is significantly higher when compared to non-metro students 28 pc, it said.The survey took into account five factors that contribute to confidence-building in students conceptual understanding, critical thinking, communication, collaboration and exposure to opportunities.The study captures students ratings on 20 statements that focus on activities done in schools.
- Country:
- India
Confidence level among students studying in CBSE and ICSE schools is marginally higher than those enrolled under state boards, a new survey has claimed.
The survey was conducted by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and edtech company LEAD. A total of 2,807 students were surveyed in six metro cities and as many non-metro cities spread across the four major regions of India.
''Thirty-six per cent of students have indicated top-bracket confidence levels (81-100),'' the survey claimed, adding that students studying in CBSE and ICSE schools have marginally higher confidence than state board students. ''However, in Delhi, the confidence index is marginally higher for state board students,'' it further said.
The results have been divided into four categories: Aspirant, Leader, All-rounder and Influencer.
''At an all-India level, one in every two respondent students is in the all-rounder segment, with a little over one-third of students finding space in the influencer segment. Interestingly, the trend is similar in metro and non-metro cities, although the size of the influencer segment in metros (44 pc) is significantly higher when compared to non-metro students (28 pc),'' it said.
The survey took into account five factors that contribute to confidence-building in students – conceptual understanding, critical thinking, communication, collaboration and exposure to opportunities.
''The study captures students' ratings on 20 statements that focus on activities done in schools. Activities were rotated and each statement was given equal weightage to eliminate order bias,'' the report said.
''Self-confidence in children has never been more important. It is the foundation of all success and achievement in life. It also impacts academic motivation and educational outcomes,'' it added.
In terms of region-wise comparison, west India (81) has topped the confidence index, while the south (75) and the east (74) regions hover near the national average and the north (70) region comes last, the survey said.
Hyderabad has emerged as the top city in terms of confidence index with 87 per cent, followed by Delhi at 80, Mumbai and Kolkata at 78, Bengaluru at 75 and Chennai at 71, it added.
''It was also observed that the confidence index of students in classes 9 and 10 (75 per cent) is only slightly higher when compared to students in classes 6-8 (74 per cent),'' the report claimed.

Dublin, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Generic Drugs Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global generic drugs market reached a value of US$ 320 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 482.5 Billion by 2027, exhibiting at a CAGR of 7% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
A generic drug is a medicine that contains the same active ingredient and has an equivalent therapeutic effect as the branded drug. It is also identical in terms of safety, quality, dosage, strength, route of administration, intended use, effect, form, quality and side effects.
These medications can be produced only after the patent expiration of the brand-name drug. As compared to branded drugs, the production of generics costs much less as it does not require the repetition of clinical (human) and animal studies to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of the medicine. Due to a reduction in the upfront cost of research, generics are typically sold at a substantially lower price in the market.
Market Trends:
Due to an aging population and increasing incidences of chronic diseases, governments of developed countries have been making efforts to reduce healthcare costs by promoting the production of generics. Whereas, in developing countries, affordability and accessibility are some of the primary issues faced by the healthcare industry.
To address these problems, governments and other regulatory bodies have been encouraging manufacturers to introduce effective generic drugs. However, despite the rapid patent expiry of branded drugs, there has been a shortage of generics. This situation is currently being rectified by various initiatives taken by hospitals, institutions and other organizations across the globe.
For instance, in 2018, a coalition of seven hospitals and three philanthropies in the US announced that they would be addressing drug shortages and the high cost of essential medications by launching a generic drug company, named Civica Rx. The company is producing 14 short-supply, FDA-approved drugs that have been available in the market since the beginning of 2019. Other than this, in 2018, the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) created policies to make the process of market entry and generic approval more efficient. It issued guidance documents for the development of both hard-to-copy drug categories and specific complex drugs.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- InteliChart, a leading patient engagement provider, is pleased to announce it has earned the Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) §170.315(g)(10) certification ((g)(10) FHIR API) from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).
The (g)(10) FHIR API is considered the most rigorous 21st Century Cures Act certification to date. This new certification requires the use of Health Level 7 (HL7®) FHIR standards with several implementation specifications aimed toward patient and population health services. Providers will be able to easily transmit electronic health information (EHI) via the certified API without excessive restrictions, supporting advancement toward interoperability.
"We are very proud to have achieved this certification on our first attempt and well before the deadline set by the ONC," said Gary Hamilton, CEO of InteliChart. "The certification is the culmination of almost a year's effort by our development team and embodies our vision and commitment to continually develop and deliver patient-centered, market-leading patient engagement technology."
According to a recent article published by the ONC, only five percent of certified health IT developers have achieved the (g)(10) FHIR API certification as of August 1, 2022. InteliChart's EHR partners who are still in the process of earning their certification, or haven't started developing for it yet, will now be able to access an FHIR-compliant API at no additional cost.
"We strive to continuously innovate our platform and provide our EHR partners with the features they need to be successful," Hamilton continued. "We're proud to be able to offer our partners a compliant API connection without having to take on the development burden themselves. This effort positions us and our partners to thrive in a new era of interoperability."
The 21st Century Cures Act was enacted in 2016 and has several provisions to promote interoperability among EHI entities, as well as provide patients with access to their medical information and protection from information blocking.

A squadron of electric Jeeps goes after Rivian, Tesla
By Giulio Piovaccari and Joseph White
MILAN/DETROIT, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Jeep will launch four all-electric sport utility vehicles by the end of 2025 in a bid to lead in electrification of off-road vehicles, the company announced on Thursday, despite the Stellantis NV STLA.MI brand's late start.
Jeep brand executives previewed an all-electric Jeep Recon, inspired by the brand's petroleum-fueled Wrangler adventure vehicle, a Wagoneer S that will be a battery-electric companion to the brand's Grand Cherokee or Wagoneer family vehicles. They also previewed a small Jeep Avenger EV aimed at Europeans.
Jeep brand chief Christian Meunier said future electric Jeep models - including some not identified in presentations to reporters on Wednesday - will help Jeep meet challenges from other electric vehicle brands.
Rivian and Scout, as well as General Motors Co's reborn Hummer brand, are pitching their electric SUVs to would-be buyers with many of the same appeals to outdoor adventure and all-weather capability that Jeep has traded on for decades. Tesla's Model X and Model Y SUVs compete with Jeep for customers who like multi-purpose utility.
Meunier said the electric Recon and Wagoneer models, due to go on sale in 2024, and the European Avenger, scheduled to go on sale early 2023, should help the brand grow.
"We are not done with growth, but we want to do it in the right way," Meunier said, adding he could not provide volume projections for coming years.
Jeep is now aiming to have 50% of its U.S. sales and 100% of its European sales to be of fully electric vehicles by 2030, Meunier said.
Meunier said Jeep intends to offer its electric models in China, but he did not give specific plans. Stellantis in July said it would revamp its strategy for Jeep in China, ending a joint venture with Chinese automaker GAC and shifting toward an imported lineup.
In Europe, Jeep wants to use the Avenger to expand its share of the compact SUV segment, where it already offers the Renegade model, said Antonella Bruno, the brand's chief for Europe.
"The Avenger will target younger and more feminine customers," Bruno said.
Italy is currently Jeep's largest market in Europe, accounting for 50% of its sales in the region and the brand hopes to grow to Germany, France and the UK.

A Swedish court on Thursday sentenced an 18-year-old student to life in jail for killing two teachers with an axe in March, believed to be the youngest person to receive the sentence in Sweden’s modern history.
The young man was arrested shortly after the attack at Malmo Latin School, a creative arts high school, which has more than 1,000 students in Sweden’s third-biggest city Malmo in southern Sweden.

“These are two very brutal murders where the victims greatly suffered and experienced severe fear of death,” judge Johan Kvart said in a statement, adding that the teen’s actions could not be seen as anything other than “particularly ruthless.”
The sentencing comes after the country amended a law under which young offenders used to receive more lenient sentences for grave crimes, and legal sources said the student is believed to be the youngest person to be given a life sentence in Sweden’s modern history.
The court said it had not been able to establish a clear motive.
The young man admitted to the actions and told the court he felt there was no place in society for him, but said he expected to die in the attack.
A psychiatric evaluation showed the man was on the autism spectrum, but according to the court there was nothing to indicate that he was suffering from a “severe psychiatric disorder.”
The accused’s lawyer, Anders Elison, had however argued for a more lenient sentence due to his client’s psychiatric issues.
He told local media he would appeal the ruling.
A life sentence in Sweden technically has no end date, but after 10 years the prisoner can apply to have their sentence commuted to a specific prison term, which is often granted – meaning in practice a life sentence is on average 16 years, according to Sweden’s prison service.

Akston Biosciences Corp. emerged from a successful small company that was sold to a pharma major. For Todd Zion, that’s a back-to-basics move that suits him just fine. Zion co-founded Smartcells Inc. in 2003 with technology developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The company went on to develop the once-daily injectable self-regulating insulin product, Smartinsulin, and sold it to Merck & Co. in what was at the time one of the largest preclinical pharmaceutical acquisitions ever.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda will be arriving in Chhattisgarh on Friday for a four-day visit during which he will take part in events of the party’s state unit and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a BJP functionary said.
He will attend a party programme on Friday and then attend the national coordination meeting of the RSS for three days, said state BJP media in charge Nalineesh Thokne.
It will be Nadda’s first visit to the Congress-ruled state, where assembly polls are scheduled for next year, after assuming charge as the BJP’s national president, Thokne added.
”Nadda will reach Swami Vivekananda Airport Raipur at around 11 am on Friday. He will then proceed to Ekatma Parisar, the BJP’s district office here, as part of a motorcycle rally organised by the Bharatiya Janata Yvua Morcha (BJYM), the party’s youth wing,” he said.
”He will then address a convention of party workers here at Science College ground. Later, he will chair meetings of the state BJP’s core group, MLAs, MPs etc at Kushabhau Thakre Parisar, the state BJP office. He will address a press conference later in the evening,” Thokne added.
From Saturday, Nadda will attend the three-day ’Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak’ (national coordination meeting) of office-bearers of various outfits inspired by the RSS, he said.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat and its ’sarkaryawah’ (general secretary) Dattatreya Hosabale have already reached here for the coordination meeting to be held from September 10 to 12. It is the first time an all-India coordination meeting of RSS-linked bodies will be held in Chhattisgarh.

Best places to retire for 'cheaper way of life' - top 10 locations for expats
RETIRING ABROAD is a much-desired goal for many, but living costs make some locations more popular than others. Here are the top 10 places voted best to retire for better living costs, weather, and lifestyle.
Cost of living: Pensioners advised of two benefits to claim
While the UK faces its sharpest incline in living costs in 40 years, the desire to retire abroad has never been so prevalent. New research by Canada Life shows 54 percent of those surveyed would like to retire abroad for the cheaper cost of living, up from 45 percent in 2021. But which location has been voted as the best?
Unsurprisingly, retiring in the UK is considered to be more expensive than retiring abroad and on average, the over 50s surveyed thought it would require a monthly household income of £1,931.
The average monthly income needed to retire abroad, however, is thought to be around £1,430.
Andrew Tully, technical director at Canada Life said: “The dream of retiring abroad is alive and well, despite the economic headwinds and global pandemic.
“The thought of a better lifestyle and weather, coupled with a cheaper way of life drives many over 50s to have a desire to extend the dream holiday to a permanent situation. The cost of living crunch, if anything, has made it more likely people will jump ship from the UK.”

The research revealed that up to 64 percent would migrate for the better lifestyle, with the same doing so for the better weather, which are very similar figures to last year according to the financial services company.
Top 10 locations to retire abroad
For the last decade, Spain has topped the poll as the most popular overseas retirement destination with 46 percent voting it the best location. Portugal pips France into second place with 21 percent of votes.
However, France hasn’t strayed too far from second place with 19 percent ranking this location top, placing it third in the list.
Italy places fourth best location with 16 percent of votes, while the south-east of Europe (including Greece, Romania, Serbia, Cyprus) places fifth with 14 percent of votes.
Retiring in the Far East (including China, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines) is most popular among eight percent of voters, while the same voted Australia and America to be top.
New Zealand and Turkey were voted most popular by seven percent and five percent respectively, rounding off the top 10 areas to retire to.
For those considering retiring abroad, it’s important to consider the impact of reciprocal social security agreements.

Pensioners could save money on energy bills in six key ways - ‘check if you can!’
Pensioners could save money this winter by taking key steps to cut back on their gas and electricity use.
Express.co.uk reveals how pensioners can slash their energy bills.
Mr Tully warned retiring abroad "is not a step to be taken lightly" He continued: "The financial considerations are vast, such as thinking about the impact of currency exchange rates, local tax rules, and whether state pensions will keep pace with the cost of living."
Countries in the EU - and many others - have reciprocal social security agreements with the UK, which means the state pension will increase each year in the same way as retirees living in the UK - but it’s important to understand whether the agreements are in place further afield.
According to the House of Commons Library, of all state pensions paid overseas, 43 percent are frozen.
Canada Life's research revealed, however, that one in four (23 percent) weren’t aware of such agreements while just one in five (20 percent) know which countries had reciprocal payment agreements in place.
Mr Tully said: “To help navigate the complexities around retiring abroad, it’s important to seek expert advice from someone who specialises in expatriate finance.”

Philips recalls 17M CPAP, BiPAP masks over magnets that could affect implanted devices
WASHINGTON - Philips Respironics has recalled more than 17 million masks used for people with sleep apnea and other respiratory issues due to a safety issue with magnets that could affect certain implanted medical devices.
The recall was announced on Tuesday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after 14 serious injuries were reported, including pacemaker failure, arrhythmia, seizures, and irregular blood pressure.
The recalled masks are worn by a patient when using a bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine and have magnetic headgear clips to hold them in place, officials said. They are for single-patient use in the home or multi-patient use in a hospital or other clinical settings.
The five mask types impacted by the recall are the DreamWisp, DreamWear, Amara View, Wisp, and Wisp Youth masks.
The impacted masks are pictured in provided photos. The magnet location is shown with black circles. (Credit: FDA)
The impacted masks are for patients weighing more than 66 pounds, except for the Wisp Youth Nasal Mask and Therapy Mask 3100 NC/SP, which are for patients aged 7 and older and weighing more than 40 pounds, the FDA said.
Phillips and the FDA said the masks have magnets that "can potentially cause injury or death if people who use them, or people near a person using a recalled mask, have certain implanted metallic medical devices or metallic objects in the body."
These devices include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, metallic stents (such as aneurysm, coronary, tracheobronchial, and biliary, neurostimulators (such as hypoglossal nerve stimulators) or magnetic metallic implants, electrodes, and valves placed in upper limbs, torso, neck, or head, officials said.
Other devices could include:
- Cerebral spinal fluid shunts (such as ventriculoperitoneal shunt)
- Aneurysm clips
- Embolic coils
- Intracranial aneurysm intravascular flow disruption devices
- Metallic cranial plates, screws, burr hole covers, and bone substitute devices
- Ocular implants (such as glaucoma implants and retinal implants; intraocular lenses placed during cataract surgery are not impacted)
- Certain contact lenses with metal
- Implants to restore hearing or balance that have an implanted magnet (such as cochlear implants, implanted bone conduction hearing devices, and auditory brainstem implants)
- Magnetic denture attachments
- Implantable ports and pumps (such as insulin pumps)
- Metallic gastrointestinal clips
- Certain metallic joint replacements
- Devices labeled as Magnetic Resonance (MR) Unsafe
- Magnetic metallic implants not labeled for MR or not evaluated for safety in a magnetic field
- Metallic splinters in the eye
- Metallic shrapnel in the body
Anyone with an implanted metallic device or object in the body listed above should stop using the recalled mask and switch to a non-magnetic mask if available, the FDA said.
"Ensure the recalled mask is kept at least 6 inches away from metallic medical implants, metallic objects in the body, or medical devices that can be impacted by the magnetic fields," the agency said.
In June 2021, certain Philips Respironics ventilators, CPAP, and BiPAP machines were recalled over concerns that a foam component could disintegrate and be inhaled by the user, possibly causing health issues, including toxic and carcinogenic effects.
Last month, Philips issued another recall for some of its respiratory machines due to a plastic component that could potentially be contaminated with a non-compatible material.
"This latest recall raises further safety concerns both for Philips devices already subject to a recall, as well as additional devices," Dr. Jeff Shuren director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in the notice this week. "We strongly encourage providers and at-risk patients to review this important safety information and follow our recommended actions to reduce the potential for harm from these products."
This story was reported from Cincinnati.

Working people will pay for Liz Truss’s “dogma” as she refuses to expand a windfall tax on energy producers to fund her new cost-of-living support package, Labour has said.
Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer also suggested that the Prime Minister was not on the side of voters, as she expected them to foot the bill for the measures, rather than oil and gas companies.
Conservative former prime minister Theresa May meanwhile welcomed the extra support announced by Ms Truss, and called for the rollout of further energy efficiency measures.
After the Prime Minister claimed she would not “give in” to calls from Labour to expand the windfall tax, Sir Keir said: “She claims that a windfall tax will deter investment. That’s ridiculous.
“These vast profits are not the reward of careful planning. They are the unexpected windfall from Putin’s barbarity in Ukraine. There is no reason why taxing them would affect investment in the future.”
The Labour leader quoted the boss of BP as saying a windfall tax would not impact on investments it would make, adding: “The Prime Minister’s only argument against the windfall tax falls apart at first inspection.
“Laying bare that she is simply driven by dogma, and it’s working people that will pay for that dogma.”
Sir Keir later told the Commons: “Ask voters whether they think that it is fair that they pick up the bill, or those companies that make profits they didn’t expect to make, and there is only one answer to that question.
“It is a very simply question of whose side are you on?”
Conservative former prime minister Mrs May later questioned Labour’s commitment to long-term energy solutions, asking: “If Labour is so worried about lack of preparation, why did they not build any new nuclear plants?”
Sir Keir insisted “nuclear is vital to our future and a new generation of power plants should have been built by now”, adding: “I remember the exchange across this despatch box in 2006, in which prime minister (Sir Tony) Blair said ‘I’m pro nuclear’, and the leader of the opposition, David Cameron, didn’t know where to look.
“If you haven’t seen that clip, have a look.”
Maidenhead MP Mrs May gave her backing to the Government’s energy support package, telling the Commons: “People need help with their bills today. That is what the Government is providing.”
But she called on ministers to go further, adding: “Britain led the world through the industrial revolution, if we grasp the opportunity now, we can lead the world in a cleaner, greener form of growth.”
She called on ministers to “consider rolling out a significant home insulation programme”.
Mrs May added: “We are still building homes with gas boilers. Doesn’t it make sense to actually change the regulations because those homes will have to be retrofitted in just a very few years time?
“Surely it is more cost-effective to take action on that.”
Ms Truss had earlier announced that the average household energy bill will be frozen at no more than £2,500 and businesses will be spared crippling increases.
The Prime Minister’s two-year plan paid for by tens of billions of pounds of borrowing will save the typical household around £1,000 from October and protect bill payers from further expected rises over the coming months.
For businesses and other non-domestic users such as schools and hospitals, which have not been covered by the existing price cap, a six-month scheme will offer equivalent support.
Ms Truss told the Commons: “I can tell the House today that we will not be giving in to the Leader of the Opposition who calls for this to be funded through a windfall tax.
“That would undermine the national interest by discouraging the very investment we need to secure homegrown energy supplies.”

Former CMS Administrator Joins Carrum Health to Help National Employers Reign in Rising Healthcare Costs
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrum Health, the first digital health company connecting employers and employees to Centers of Excellence (COEs) through a technology-powered value-based care platform, today announced the appointment of Seema Verma to its Corporate Advisory Board. As a national health policy expert who served as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator from 2017 to 2021, Verma was instrumental in helping to lower costs, improve quality of care, and increase access to health insurance programs for more than 140 million Americans. Verma will offer her expertise to Carrum Health as the company expands its national network of COE providers and partners with self-insured employers to adopt value-based care programs to reduce healthcare spend.
"The fee-for-service payment model fails to incentivize quality and comprehensive care coordination and has led to inefficiencies in care delivery and unsustainable healthcare costs for employers and their employees," said Verma. "Carrum Health has developed a true value-based care model delivered through high-quality Centers of Excellence across the nation to offer self-insured organizations a surgical benefit that will not only drive down healthcare spend, but also deliver higher quality of care. I am looking forward to working with the team at Carrum as they crack the code on value-based care through an innovative model starting with surgical procedures that account for a majority of employer healthcare spend."
Carrum Health's value-based bundled payment model brings immediate cost-savings benefits to self-insured employers looking to reduce healthcare expenditures. A recent peer-reviewed study published in Health Affairs by the RAND Corporation examined the impact of bundled payments among commercially insured populations and highlighted a more than 45% per procedure savings when procedures were performed through Carrum Health. Patients also typically do not encounter out-of-pocket costs, deductibles, co-pays or unexpected bills related to their care. And each procedure, including any costs associated with the care, carries a 30 day warranty.
"During Seema's tenure with CMS she played a critical role in advocating for value based care and the role of technology in healthcare," said Sach Jain, Carrum Health CEO and founder. "Carrum's focused investment in technology, including the industry's only patient facing app for surgeries, delivers an improved patient experience that drives engagement and better health outcomes. Seema is another amazing asset on our advisory board and she will bring tremendous value to both our partners and customers. With her added expertise and experience, Carrum can expedite our growth potential and bring our solution to even more employees across the nation."
Carrum Health offers the first value-based complete surgical care platform that combines the benefits of a bundled payments Centers of Excellence (COE) with surgical guidance and coordination to deliver the highest quality, most appropriate care. By connecting self-insured employers with the top 10% of doctors and facilities across the nation, Carrum reduces unnecessary procedures by as much as 30% and aligns cost and care incentives to save employers up to 45% per episode of care, all validated by peer-reviewed publications. Carrum's award-winning technology gives members access to a mobile app and Care Specialist that guides them through the surgery process, and a seamless platform integration to make COE adoption plug-and-play for employers. Backed by Tiger Global, Carrum was named to the 2021 CB Insights Digital Health 150 and named one of the best places to work in 2022 by Built In. The company, founded in 2014, is headquartered in Silicon Valley. For more information, visit carrumhealth.com.

Louis Tomlinson hopes One Direction will reunite for a big event.
The boy band – consisting of Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Tomlinson – were formed on The X Factor 2010 and went on to become one of the biggest pop groups in the world.
After five albums and four world tours, One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016, with its members going on to pursue solo music careers.
Discussing whether a band reunion could be on the cards, Tomlinson told ITV’s Lorraine: “One day. There’s a lot of moving parts but it would be a shame if we didn’t.”
When host Lorraine Kelly suggested they could all come together for a big event or an important cause, the 30-year-old agreed, adding: “I hope so”.
Tomlinson’s second album, Faith In The Future, will be released in November and follows his recently released single Bigger Than Me.
Bandmate Styles has also enjoyed success as a solo artist, with his third studio album, Harry’s House, in the running for the Mercury Prize, which will be announced on Thursday evening.
This week, the 28-year-old also attended the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling, in which he stars alongside Florence Pugh and Chris Pine.
Reflecting on his time in the band, Tomlinson said: “It’s easier to see now from the outside looking in, definitely.
“It was a crazy, crazy time. (It was) amazing to be able to go through it with other people. It would have been quite scary to go through that experience on your own at that age.”
He admitted there was an “element of trial and error” with his 2020 debut solo album, Walls, as he found his feet outside the group.
“Obviously coming out of a band the size of One Direction, it takes time to find yourself, musically, but I really think I’ve found it on this album and this single”, he added.
The singer said he made a conscious decision with his record to make it more optimistic.
He said: “On my first record, there was a weight to it emotionally, which I think was right for the time, but I just wanted to break loose from that now and be optimistic.”
Faith In The Future comes out on November 11.
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV and the ITV Hub.

Marketing business acceleration gives CMOs real-time visibility into operations, enabling them to maximize value and accelerate growth
NEW YORK and AUSTIN, Texas , Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KPMG LLP today announced that it has entered into a strategic alliance with Uptempo, a leader in enterprise marketing operations software. The two companies will work together to deliver a new operating model for marketers. Marketing business acceleration is a new approach that will provide a comprehensive planning and spending framework, common taxonomies and KPIs, as well as real-time data transparency.
Legacy operating models make it difficult for Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs)—particularly those leading marketing efforts across large organizations with multiple business units and multiple plans—to plan, fund, execute, and measure their programs. Marketing business acceleration can connect existing systems and processes together, forming a truly unified marketing department—one that gives CMOs real-time insights into their operations and enables them to plan better, spend smarter, execute with confidence, and pivot fast. Further, this new operating model provides CMOs and CFOs greater ability to collaborate through a single, transparent line of visibility into returns on investment, with integrated analysis, reporting and planning.
"While investment in technologies that automate the execution of marketing has exploded in recent years, CMOs are still left doing the financial and management planning on outmoded spreadsheets," said Jason Galloway, US Marketing Consulting Practice Lead, KPMG LLP. "Together with Uptempo, we are building a better way for CMOs to maximize—and accelerate—the impact of their planning, financial and work management investments, while providing the clarity they need to make smart decisions. With this operating model at their disposal, CMOs will be able to run their departments in a similar way to how great CEOs run their organizations."
Mirko Holzer, CEO, Uptempo, said, "We've seen firsthand how CMOs struggle to connect the dots from strategy to execution, and we're confident that this partnership will help put C-Suite Level executives on the same page. KPMG has a long track record of providing financial audit and advisory services to CFOs and a trusted reputation for helping the world's largest organizations navigate digital transformation. Coupled with Uptempo's innovative technologies and track record of integrating best-in-class emerging software into our offerings, this alliance makes us ideally suited to help bring marketing business acceleration to market."
KPMG Marketing Consulting helps provide marketing teams with the insight they need to build trust, transform their operations and seize new opportunities. For more information about the KPMG and Uptempo collaboration, visit the KPMG and Uptempo alliance site read.kpmg.us/uptempo

Hurricane Kay set to brush Mexico’s Baja peninsula
Published: Sep. 8, 2022 at 9:02 AM EDT|Updated: 44 minutes ago
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Kay is steaming toward a possible brush with land on a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. And forecasters say it might bring rains to southernmost California by the weekend.
Authorities opened shelters and closed some roads ahead of Kay, which had maximum sustained winds of 85 mph Thursday.
Forecasters said it could bring hurricane-force winds to parts of the peninsula.
Forecasters say there is a chance the outer bands of the big storm could bring heavy rain — and possibly flash floods — to parts of scorched Southern California and southwestern Arizona on Friday night and Saturday.

The Rams have made it clear that quarterback Matthew Stafford has “no limitations” for Week One, due to a chronic elbow problem. The real question is whether limitations will arise in Week Two or thereafter.
There’s an issue with the elbow. That’s undisputed. When talking about it with reporters recently, Stafford deliberately stopped short when he said, “[I] still think there’s. . . . I don’t know.”
Here’s what he know. He had a procedure in the offseason on the elbow. He wore a brace after getting the injection to reduce inflammation in his elbow.
For some reason, that old news has been repackaged and presented as new news on Thursday morning.
“Rams QB Matthew Stafford underwent an off-season elbow procedure to deal with the pain he experienced last season and to help prepare for this season, per sources,” tweeted Schefty. “Despite the questions about his elbow, Stafford is now said to feel better today than he did at this time last year.”
It’s unclear whether this is a not-so-uncommon quota-filling misfire by Schefter or part of a quid-pro-quo effort to affirmatively spread the team’s Serenity Now message about Stafford as the season arrives.
All is well. All is fine. This is fine.
There’s still reason for concern. The Rams held Stafford out of team drills in multiple practices last month, as they tried to come up with a way to figure out what they determined to be a baseball injury. Eventually, he was able to fully participate in practices. He’s now ready to play in a game. What happens tomorrow, when he rolls out of bed and his elbow is or isn’t throbbing from making 20 or 30 or 40 or more throws that put the kind of pressure on the elbow that he hasn’t since February?
Consider the last part of Schefter’s tweet. “Stafford is now said to feel better today than he did at this time last year.” That does not mean he’s 100 percent. It just means he’s better now than he was a year ago, after going through training camp without extensive time away from team drills to protect the elbow.
Even though the Rams insist there are no limitations, it’s fair to wonder whether they are strategically concealing the truth (i.e., lying) so that the Bills aren’t ready tonight for, say, a run-heavy attack that protects Stafford’s elbow and keeps Buffalo’s high-powered offense on the sidelines.
Whatever the explanation, the fact remains that it’s been known for months that there’s an issue with the elbow. And it seems that the issue is still there. One of the biggest questions hovering over the Rams for the 2022 season is whether Stafford will be able to play effectively through whatever discomfort he may experience from Week One through Week 18, and beyond.

Cassel: The key factors that could make or break the 2022 Patriots originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots have come a long way this offseason. From OTAs to minicamp to training camp and the preseason, there's been a lot of change, particularly on offense.
How will all that change impact the team's performance in 2022? Only time will tell until we actually get into the regular season and see the Patriots operate in a competitive environment for four quarters.
With the season opener in Miami right around the corner, here are the most important storylines and players to watch for the 2022 Patriots.
Offensive storyline to watch: The play-caller
This is the storyline that everybody's most interested in. We’ve established the fact that Matt Patricia will call plays, with Joe Judge leading the quarterback room as the quarterback coach in more of a collaborative effort. But let’s be honest: having the same play-caller for the past 10 years in Josh McDaniels -- that's a guy who’s established as one of the best in the game.
Local
In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.
Any time you switch coordinators, there's always this element of understanding how he calls the game and the counterpunches that he delivers throughout the course of the game. The defense will always throw out a new wrinkle, so how do you respond to that? Also, how aggressive will they be in calling plays? What kinds of innovations will they come up with?
Again, this is all unknown until you actually get into the regular season. I’ll be interested to see whether they’re going to rely heavily on the run game, because the Patriots have a really good offensive line that is built well for the running game.
Defensive storyline to watch: The secondary situation
Jalen Mills has really taken over the No. 1 corner spot. But if Jonathan Jones can perform well on the outside, then he’s a guy who could be an impact player. He's mainly played in the slot in years past, but he's played more outside corner this offseason. And if he can step up and really be an effective corner on the outside, that will be huge.
Patriots Talk: NFL ironman Pete Kendall wonders if the Patriots are playing possum | Listen & Subscribe | Watch on YouTube
Marcus Jones is also a wild card for me. He's shown some promise this offseason, but can he step up to fulfill that nickel role? In this division, whether it’s against the Jets, Dolphins or Bills, the Patriots should see a lot of sub packages and a lot of 11 personnel, which means that nickel position is going to be huge.
I know they like Jack Jones a lot, too. He has a good skill set and the potential to be a good player. So, how those roles in the secondary are implemented throughout the season as the Patriots establish themselves is definitely worth watching.
Underrated offensive storyline: What is DeVante Parker's role?
Parker has developed some chemistry with Mac Jones and is a guy the Patriots brought in who can win 1-on-1 matchups. We saw it back in 2019 when he went up against Stephon Gilmore and caught eight passes for 138 yards and was just a dominant player.
Perry's Mailbag: Why DeVante Parker could be the X-factor in Miami
He's had some injuries over the last few seasons, but how much does he add to this offensive unit? And how much of an impact will he have in terms of being a guy they can count on in 1-on-1 situations?
Player (outside Mac Jones) most important to Patriots' offensive success: Damien Harris
I always lean toward skill position guys, and I think early on in the season, it's going to be important to establish the run game. I believe Damien Harris is a pivotal part of this offensive unit for his ability to pick up the hard yardage on the inside and put them in down-and-distance situations that are more favorable.
That goes hand-in-hand with the interior offensive line, and Mike Onwenu and Cole Strange are two guys to keep an eye on. How they set the pocket for Mac Jones and how they impact the running game will be pivotal for the offense’s success.
Player who’s flying under the radar: Josh Uche
The Patriots need Uche to have a good season. He’s been there for a few years now and hasn't had a ton of time on the field. But he was a talented prospect out of college and could help in terms of creating some pass rush on third down.
He’s got some versatility and can play on the ball or off the ball. He’s the guy who needs to step up and really help this pass rush this year and make a name for himself.
Biggest key to Patriots’ success overall: Secondary
Mac Jones’ progression with the new play-caller and his development is going to be critical. But I think the secondary will play a key role as well. If you look at the Patriots’ schedule, the Packers, Browns, Vikings, Cardinals, Raiders and the Bengals are all pass-first offenses that are going to attack you vertically.
So, how the secondary unit -- particularly the corners and nickel backs -- step up is going to have the biggest impact on whether they're successful on defense this year.
Final record prediction for the 2022 Patriots: 10-7
They've got a really tough stretch down the back end of their schedule: the Bills, Cardinals, Raiders, Bengals and Dolphins -- who always play them tough -- then the Bills again. They might have the third-hardest schedule in the league, and for a team with a new offensive coordinator and a lot of new moving parts in the defensive secondary, it could be tough sledding.
But they also hit this stretch after the Packers game in Week 4 where they can string together some wins. This team could surprise some people if they get on a roll during that softer stretch, and they could steal a game or two against a team like the Colts, Vikings or Cardinals. I have them edging the Dolphins, who will finish at 9-8.
Editor's Note: Matt Cassel played 14 years in the NFL as a quarterback, including four with the Patriots from 2005 to 2008. He serves as an analyst for NBC Sports Boston, appearing on Pre/Postgame Live, as a guest on Tom Curran's Patriots Talk Podcast every Thursday, and as a columnist each week during the season.

Police issue statement on the detention of Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) leader SEAN TEMBO.
6th September, 2022 – Following the apprehension and detention of Mr Sean Tembo, President for the Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) on Thursday 1st September, 2022, police has noticed with concern the falsehoods being peddled on social media and various media platforms that police were unlawfully holding him in detention.
As Zambia Police Service, we would like to clarify that after his detention on Friday the 2nd September, 2022, Police were ready to formally charge and arrest Mr Sean Tembo. However, the suspect requested for his lawyer to be present as it is his constitutional right to have legal representation.
Since then, his lawyer never came to the Police Station until on Monday 5th September, 2022 when he showed up at Woodlands Police Station.
Upon the arrival of his lawyer Mr Jonas Zimba, Police were ready to formalise the procedures but his lawyer raised concern that Mr Tembo was not feeling well and hence he was taken to Chilenje Level One Hospital as it is his constitutional right to seek medical attention as by law established. At the hospital he was seen by a Medical Doctor and later put on bed rest for three hours from 12:00 to 15:00 hours yesterday the 5th September, 2022.
Mr Tembo remained under police custody till when he was discharged after the expiration of his three hours bed rest as prescribed by the Doctor. Upon being taken back to the Police station the accused’s lawyer was engaged with other duties. Police again could not proceed with the formalities as the accused’s lawyer was not available.
This morning the 6th September, 2022 Police in the presence of Mr Sean Tembo’s Lawyer formally charged and arrested Mr Sean Tembo for the offence of Hate Speech Contrary to Section 65 of the Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Act No. 2 of 2021 of the Laws of Zambia. Mr Tembo has since been released on Police bond and will appear in Court soon.
His arrest follows a Facebook post on his account prior to the adjustment of fuel pump prices for the month of September this year.
As Zambia Police Service, we will continue to uphold the rule of law and fundamental human rights of all Citizens regardless of their standing in society and political affiliation. We wish to state that as a law enforcement agency we had no intentions of detaining Mr Sean Tembo or any other citizen beyond the legal stipulated period. The seemingly portrayed unlawful detention was caused by either of the two: Mr Sean Tembo or his lawyer who were not available for the police to complete the formalities as by law established.
We further appeal to the general public to desist from commenting on matters they do not understand or have no facts as this has potential to mislead members of the public.

MICHIGAN BLUFF, Calif. — 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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.

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani rupee on Thursday continued its downfall for the fifth consecutive day against the US dollar in the interbank market.
According to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) the rupee closed at 225.42 against the US dollar in the interbank which is Rs2 less than the last the close of 223.42.
The rupee is under pressure once again due to the US dollar’s rampant surge in the international market, which has caused local exchange outlets to run out of the greenback and rattle markets once again.
Local factors such as dollar smuggling, informal currency trading, and the suspension of import regulations on essential goods like vegetables have also played a role in derailing rupee-dollar parity.
In view of the issues prevailing in Pakistan the expats have seemingly slowed down remittances and prefer ‘informal’ channels to send money back home in exchange for high-yielding returns. Simultaneously, exporters have understandably resumed hoarding the dollar for a huge payday.
In addition, as per analysts political uncertainty, loss of confidence, higher forex needs (due to flood requirements, a backlog of letters of credit payments, and higher Afghan trade), as well as slower inflows are all contributing to the weakness of the rupee.

SEATTLE AT&T's Chris Sambar is putting the operator's growing 5G network to sleep at night a move he said will help reduce the operator's annual $1.6 billion network electricity bill.
"We're constantly trying to reduce that," Sambar said of AT&T's power needs. "I think about that a lot."
Speaking here at the Mobile Future Forward event hosted by Chetan Sharma Consulting, Sambar said that one of his top goals as AT&T's networking chief is to reduce the operator's energy needs.
He said that AT&T's network electricity bill has stayed roughly the same, around $1.6 billion a year, even as traffic on the operator's network has skyrocketed.
Switching off
One of AT&T's new strategies to reduce its network energy consumption is to power down parts of its wireless network at night, when it's mostly unused.
Specifically, he said the operator is turning off its 5G radios working in midband spectrum. He said the operator's 5G radios in lowband spectrum remain powered on to handle whatever traffic the operator's customers generate during the night.
"It's relatively new to us," he said of the approach.
Indeed, energy savings have become a big selling point among 5G equipment vendors. Ericsson, for example, recently said that its new Radio 6646 uses 40% less power than previous products.
But that's just one element of a broader effort at AT&T. During his keynote appearance here, Sambar said the global 5G industry needs to work together to reduce its overall energy consumption.
The Boston Consulting Group recently said that the global communications and information (ICT) industry is responsible for around 3% or 4% of all carbon emissions, roughly twice as much as civil aviation.
For AT&T, the company has committed to be carbon neutral across its entire global operations by 2035.
In its network operations specifically, AT&T reported that last year it implemented nearly 4,100 energy-impacting activities, generating annualized savings of nearly $30 million.
"These activities are detailed and complex; they comprise more than 140,000 individual tasks and projects across our entire network," the company wrote.
The operator also explained that those efforts include "systematically decommissioning and removing obsolete and outmoded network capacity and hardware. We continue to shift control from hardware to software to make our network faster, simpler and more scalable. Our software-defined network allows us to make advances in minimizing unused capacity, unnecessary energy expense and real estate square footage."
Controlling consumption
The importance of energy consumption and reduction is quickly coming into focus in the data center industry. For example, energy issues were a key reason why DigitalBridge recently agreed to pay $11 billion to acquire data center operator Switch.
As reported by Data Center Frontier, Switch operates data centers in California, where the power grid has struggled to keep up with demand.
"Switch has over 1.5 gigawatts of power capacity that they draw from three different sources of green energy. In a market like Reno where they have land, they have renewable power and they control their destiny, they can light up almost 800 megawatts of capacity that's less than 0.2 milliseconds from Santa Clara. So we're really excited about the prospects for Switch," explained DigitalBridge chief Marc Ganzi.
The publication noted that similar power constraints have affected data center operations in locations ranging from Dublin, Ireland to Northern Virginia.
"They [Switch] are planning for the future and trying not to be entirely reliant on the existing grid, and I think most data center operators are thinking through that conundrum as well," Ganzi continued.
"We're really excited about closing on Switch because they've actually got more ready-lift capacity than anybody else in the market."
Continued Ganzi: "Our customers like that narrative, and want to be in data centers where it's sourced by green energy. And it's not woke speak, right? This is hardcore reality. This is a company that planned for this, [with a] great management team and great CEO."

Bakersfield (Calif.) Heart Hospital gave layoff notices to 114 employees in an effort to optimize its operations after losing business during the pandemic, The Bakersfield Californian reported Sept. 7.
Laid-off employees were told they will continue to receive full pay and benefits through Nov. 5, but no longer had to report to work.
The cutbacks are designed to allow more resources to be dedicated to patient care and specialized surgery, the hospital said in a statement. Positions were cut across departments and no department will have to close as a result. The organization said it preserved clinical personnel jobs wherever possible, according to the report.
"While difficult, this decision was necessary as we are forced to continue navigating the substantial and lasting financial impact of the pandemic while also aligning our services to local patient needs," the hospital statement said.

New Delhi, Sept 8: Constant sense of fear and apprehension among Kashmiri Pandits is why very few of them are willing to return to their homeland in the Valley, veteran politician Karan Singh has said.
Singh, who was speaking at the release of a book, "When the Heart Speaks", memoirs of well-known cardiologist Dr Upendra Kaul, said most of the Kashmiri Pandits who could afford to go out have gone and "settled for good" -- be it abroad or different parts of the country.
However, Kashmir will always remain "incomplete" without Kashmiri Pandits, Singh said.
"Kashmir is beautiful and beguiling and the tragedy that has taken over the Valley since 1947 is heartbreaking," Singh, whose father Maharaja Hari Singh was the last Dogra ruler of Kashmir, said.
He commended Dr Kaul and other Kashmiri Pandits like him who have returned and built their homes in the Valley but added that "such examples are very rare".
"Very few Kashmiri Pandits are doing that because there is always a sense of fear and a sense of apprehension and that will take a long time to go because the trauma through which they (Kashmiri Pandits) have been I think they are not just prepared to face that again," he said.
"As it is, everybody who could get away has gone. Like the people who could settle in other parts of India have settled there. The people who could settle abroad have settled abroad...Now, I think special care needs to be taken of the migrants who are living peacefully in Jammu since they came, and also of Kashmir Pandits who want to go back," he added.
Kashmir has witnessed a string of fatal attacks on members of the minority community this year, in which Rahul Bhat, a government employee recruited under the prime minister's special package for Kashmir Pandits and teacher Rajini Bala, were killed.
Singh described the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits in the 1990s as one of the most "terrible and tragic" incidents that took place in Jammu and Kashmir.
He also heaped praises on the community, saying much of what he has learnt in life is through the education given to him by Kashmiri Pandits.
"It is such a brilliant community, all the vidya (education) that I got, whether it is BK Madan, Prof Parmanandna, Prof PN Chaku, Prof JN Bhan, Prof SN Pandit and others, I got from them. I must take this opportunity perhaps to place on record my deep and abiding gratitude to the Kashmiri Pandit community," he noted.
Singh commended the author, who is a world-renowned cardiologist, for penning down his memoir and said Dr Kaul is not just a great professional but also a great human being and the love that he has for Kashmir and his patients is really moving.
In his concluding remarks, he warned that the nexus between doctors and pharma companies is resulting in patients being subjected to unnecessary surgeries, tests, and medicines. The book launch at the India International Centre (IIC) was also attended by AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria and noted Civil Rights lawyer Prashant Bhushan among others.
"When the Heart Speaks", currently available offline and online, is the life story of Dr Kaul -- beginning from his ancestral village in Kashmir to becoming one of the top cardiologists of the country.
Dr Kaul's experiences are a lesson for everyone, Dr Guleria said and termed the book "very readable". He also lauded the author for his "phenomenal" memory and ensuring that even the minutest details are not skipped.
He said, "The book teaches us the importance of living with our heart and the passion that the medical profession has, which is more towards service. We all need to remind ourselves of that."
Dr Kaul said his book is primarily about Kashmir, his mother Gauri Kaul and his varied experiences over the last seven decades.
Recollecting his story, he said, "My acceptability and recognition by the people of Kashmir came in the 1990s when I was working with AIIMS. People of both communities were affected. The displaced persons pained me and I did whatever I could. That is how Dr Upendra Kaul became Dr U Kaul."
Speaking on Kashmir, he said, "Kashmir is my soul" and asked Kashmiri Pandits to look forward to returning to the Valley.
"Nobody can snatch your motherland from you," he added.

- Europe was already facing a difficult and unpredictable winter when it came to its energy supplies as it looks to phase out all Russian imports.
- But Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday threatened to completely stop all energy supplies to Europe,
- The comments could mean that European nations have to introduce energy rationing in the winter months.
Europe was already facing a difficult and unpredictable winter when it came to its energy supplies as it looks to phase out all Russian imports.
But Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday again threatened to completely stop all supplies, a move which he hinted would leave Europe to "freeze."
Russia has already halted gas supplies to the region citing technical issues on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, leaving the region vulnerable as it tries to replenish energy storage ahead of the colder months.
Responding to EU proposals to implement price caps on Russian energy imports, Putin told business leaders in Vladivostok that Russia could yet decide to rip up existing supply contracts.
"Will there be any political decisions that contradict the contracts? Yes, we just won't fulfill them. We will not supply anything at all if it contradicts our interests," Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum in Russia's far east.
"We will not supply gas, oil, coal, heating oil — we will not supply anything," Putin said.
Money Report
"We would only have one thing left to do: as in the famous Russian fairy tale, we would let the wolf's tail freeze," he said.
Russian newspaper Pravda describes the tale as involving a cunning fox who made a stupid wolf catch fish in the frozen river by putting his tail into an ice hole.
"The fox would hop around the desperate and hungry wolf saying "freeze, freeze, the wolf's tail" until the ice hole froze trapping the wolf in the ice. Men from the village then came and beat the wolf for all the bad things that he had done to them in summer. The wolf struggled and escaped, but his tail was left in the frozen ice hole," Pravda said.
Energy rationing
Putin's threat to halt all supplies raises the risk of energy rationing in Europe this winter. The EU has already called upon its members to voluntarily reduce their gas consumption by 15% in the fall and winter but that might not be enough to allay the need for restrictions on gas use.
A number of European governments have announced measures to protect citizens from rocketing energy bills. In the meantime, Western nations are trying to put pressure on Russia's energy revenues, which they say are funding the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, by proposing price caps on Russian oil and gas.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday described the situation facing Europe as "extraordinary ... because Russia is an unreliable supplier and is manipulating our energy markets."
She said the Commission would put forward immediate measures to help consumers, including a mandatory target for reducing electricity use at peak hours, a cap on revenues of companies producing electricity with low costs, and other plans to share the burden of energy price rises.
"Low carbon energy sources are making unexpected revenues, which do not reflect their production costs. It is now time for consumers to benefit from the low costs of low carbon energy sources, like renewables," von der Leyen said in a statement, saying fossil fuel companies should also contribute to easing pressures on consumers.
"Oil and gas companies have also made massive profits. We will therefore propose a solidarity contribution for fossil fuel companies. Because all energy sources must help address this crisis."
Von der Leyen said energy utility companies must be supported to cope with the volatility of the markets and proposed a cap on Russian gas. "The objective here is very clear. We must cut Russia's revenues which Putin uses to finance this atrocious war against Ukraine."
At the beginning of the war, she noted that the EU imported around 40% of its gas from Russia. It had reduced that level down to 9% of its gas imports, she said.
EU energy ministers are set to meet on Friday to discuss the proposals outlined by the Commission.

Damascus: A five-storey residential building collapsed in Syria’s northern city of Aleppo, killing at least 10 people, a state media report said.
The bodies of six women, three children, and a man were found under the rubble of the collapsed building in the al-Fardous neighbourhood, said the report.
A woman and a child were rescued and taken to a hospital for medical attention, Xinhua news agency quoted the report as saying.
After the incident, authorities have started evacuating nearby buildings, according to the report.
Citing officials in Aleppo, the report said the fallen building had been illegally constructed without the consent of the competent authorities.
In Aleppo where large swathes of areas have been ruined in wars, some returned residents live in damaged or partially repaired buildings, leading to tragic accidents now and then.
(Except for the headline, the story has not been edited by Siasat staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)

Michigan's 90-year-old abortion ban is unconstitutional, judge rules
A 1931 Michigan law banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest violates the state's constitution, a state court judge ruled on Wednesday, barring any prosecutors from enforcing it.

Explainer-How America casts and counts its votes
Misinformation online and false claims of election fraud by former President Donald Trump and his allies have sharply eroded public trust in the integrity of U.S. elections. How Americans vote — and the equipment they use — varies widely, and some methods are more vulnerable to efforts to shake that trust.
Heading into the 2022 midterms, election experts say the move in most states to hybrid voting systems – paper ballots tallied by electronic machines – could give voters greater confidence.
Finding special master in Trump classified documents case no easy task
A federal judge has given the U.S. Justice Department and Donald Trump's lawyers until Friday to come up with a list of potential candidates to serve as a special master to review records the FBI seized from the former president's Florida estate. But finding people who have the necessary experience and security clearances to handle the highly classified documents -- and the willingness to enter the political brushfire surrounding the probe -- will be no small task, legal experts said.

Days after Democratic President Joe Biden gave a fiery speech attacking former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies as an extremist threat, a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Wednesday found a majority of Americans believe Trump's movement is undermining democracy. Fifty-eight percent of respondents in the two-day poll - including one in four Republicans - said Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement is threatening America's democratic foundations.
California seeks energy conservation for 9th day in heat wave
California's power grid urged customers to conserve energy for a ninth day in a row on Thursday as homes and businesses crank up their air conditioners to escape a brutal heat wave lingering over the drought-stricken region since the start of September. The California Independent System Operator (ISO), grid operator for most of the state, said consumer conservation efforts so far this week have been key to helping the grid avoid rotating outages.
Blinken visits Ukraine to offer new US military aid for a counteroffensive
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Kyiv on Thursday to pledge $2 billion in fresh security assistance, including support the Biden administration hopes will bolster a nascent Ukrainian counteroffensive aimed at pushing back Russian forces in the south and east. Blinken's second visit to the Ukrainian capital since Russia's February invasion comes as Ukraine reported progress in its effort to retake territory seized by Russia near Ukraine's second-largest city Kharkiv.

Steve Bannon, a onetime top strategist to former U.S. President Donald Trump and an architect of his successful 2016 White House run, is expected to surrender on Thursday to New York authorities to face state charges in a new indictment. The charges come more than 1-1/2 years after Trump pardoned Bannon in the final hours of his presidency, excusing Bannon from a federal fraud case.
U.S. backs students claiming Harvard ignored professor's sexual harassment
The U.S. Department of Justice on Wednesday threw its support behind a lawsuit by three graduate students accusing Harvard University of ignoring sexual harassment by a professor who they said threatened their academic careers if they reported him. The department in a court filing urged a federal judge in Boston to reject Harvard's claim that it could only be held liable for retaliation by the Ivy League school itself, not by any of its faculty members.

NEW YORK — One of the world's most generous poetry awards is both consolidating and expanding.
Officials of Canada's Griffin Poetry Prize announced Thursday that they are combining their international and Canadian honors into a single award, worth $100,000. The prize's founder, the businessman and philanthropist Scott Griffin, said the awards were originally in separate categories because he believed Canadian poets needed the attention.
"Now that a lot of Canadians have been recognized in the poetry world, we felt it was time they had to compete on the international stage with everybody else," he said, citing such Canadian writers as Margaret Atwood, Anne Carson and Robert Bringhurst.
Griffin officials have also created a new prize for first-time Canadian poets that includes a six-week residency in Italy.
"The Griffin Poetry Prize has been acknowledging and encouraging poets for 22 years," Atwood, a founding Griffin trustee, said in a statement. "At a time when censorship and attacks on a diverse array of writers are on the rise in many countries — including the United States — it's heartening to see such a strong vote of confidence in poets coming from Canada. Poetry is not a minor art form; it is the crucible of human language."
Previous Griffin winners include Carson, Charles Simic and John Ashbery.
