A brilliant rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle as crowds gathered to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
According to Bloomberg, the Buckingham Palace rainbow was a double rainbow. People also shared videos of the vivid rainbow.
You can see photos of the rainbow throughout this article. The rainbow also appeared right as the Union Jack flag was lowered to half mast at Windsor Castle in honor of the Queen, who died on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96.
“As the flag is lowered to half mast over Windsor Castle an incredible rainbow appears over the castle, for a few minutes and then just like that it was gone….” wrote Chris Jackson, a Getty Images photographer. The Queen spent part of her childhood at Windsor Castle during World War II.
Here’s what you need to know:
The Rainbow Also Appeared Over Other British Landmarks After the Queen Died ‘Peacefully’
According to Bloomberg, the rainbow “could be seen over major landmarks across the capital including Elizabeth Tower in Westminster and the Queen Victoria Memorial.”
The rainbow appeared as crowds gathered to honor the Queen, Daily Mail reported.
“Double rainbow, Our Queen is reunited with her loved one, Prince Philip,” one man wrote on Twitter. “It was pretty dramatic for a double rainbow 🌈 to appear today over the London Bridge as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was dying,” wrote another.
Crowds started singing the National Anthem at Windsor Castle, according to Daily Mail.
Prince Charles Immediately Became King Upon the Queen’s Death
Prince Charles became King Charles III immediately upon his mother’s death, although his coronation will take some time.
Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history, died at the age of 96. Charles was the Prince of Wales and her heir; the Royal Family is already calling him “King.”
The Royal Family announced the sad news on September 8, 2022, writing, “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
In a statement, the new King Charles said his mother’s death was “a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.”
King Charles’ statement continued, “We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”
He added: “During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”
The queen’s family, including Charles and his wife, Camilla, rushed to her bedside at Balmoral castle in Scotland on September 8, 2022, as fears escalated over her health. The queen had struggled with mobility issues and was looking increasingly frail ever since the death of her husband Prince Philip, who died at age 99 in April 2021. The official cause of death was not yet clear.
Camilla will be known as Queen Consort. That was a position the Queen publicly supported last spring.
Elizabeth II became Queen in 1952, but her coronation was in 1953, according to Biography.com.
The Queen’s death was known via code name as “London Bridge.”

Peru-based AJE Group operates its India business from its local headquarters in Pune, and its portfolio includes Big Cola, Big Orange, energy drink Volt and beverage brand Cfruit. Reliance is looking to form a joint venture with the company to capitalize on existing manufacturing and distribution capacity.

E-mail queries to AJE Group ’s India and international offices and Aakash Namkeen did not elicit a response till press time.
Meanwhile, Reliance Retail is also in talks with Aakash Namkeen, which was established in 1936, said one of the two people, seeking anonymity. The company manufactures namkeens, such as ratlami sev, chivda and bhel, and packaged traditional sweets including besan ladoo, gulab jamun and sohan papdi.
Mint had reported that Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd had picked up a controlling stake in makeup and personal care brand Insight Cosmetics. It is also in the process of buying out beverage brand Sosyo from Surat-based Hajoori beverages, the people added.

At its 45 annual general meeting last month, Reliance Retail said it will build a large FMCG business by growing its existing private labels and by acquiring new brands. “I’m excited to announce that this year we will launch our fast-moving consumer goods business. The objective of this business is to develop and deliver products that solve every Indian’s daily needs, with high quality products at affordable pricing," Isha Ambani, director, RRVL, had said.
The company could look at different ways to partner with brands, said a person familiar with its plans. “All these are happening through a combination of acquisitions or joint ventures or licensing of brands," he said also on condition of anonymity.
A company spokesperson, however, said: “As a policy, we do not comment on media speculations and rumours." “The company is evaluating opportunities on an ongoing basis," he added.

While the focus seems to be on foods and beverages, the company could also look at personal and home care brands. Meanwhile, it has been actively deploying distributors for scaling up its private labels, and is launching pack sizes specific to general trade outlets.
Reliance sells instant noodles and soup, biscuits, namkeen, sweets, pasta, vermicelli, ketchup and jams under the Snac Tac brand. Flour, edible oils, rice, pulses, dry fruits, spices and masala, salt, sugar are available under the Good Life brand, while olive oil is sold under the Siege brand. It also sells beverages under Bubbles and Yeah! labels.

Hundreds of elected officials — including one Madison City Council member — appear on leaked membership rolls for the Oath Keepers, a far-right extremist group alleged to have played a significant role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, according to a new report from the Anti-Defamation League Center for Extremism.
Ald. Gary Halverson, who represents District 17 just east of the Dane County Regional Airport, is one of 609 Oath Keepers who signed up in Wisconsin, including five other elected officials, four law enforcement officers, one member of the military and three first responders. Halverson joined the group in June 2020, as Madison and communities across the country protested the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis.
"I joined without vetting the organization," Halverson said in a statement. "I thought I joined an organization that welcomed veterans who cared about our democracy. I was misled and I terminated the membership two months later in Aug. 2020."
The Oath Keepers, founded in 2009, is a conspiracy theory-fueled group that claims to defend against tyranny, recruiting current and former military and then encouraging its members to disobey orders they believe would violate the Constitution. It asks its members to vow to defend the Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
Its founder, Stewart Rhodes, has been in jail since his Jan. 13, 2022 arrest on charges that he plotted with others to attack the U.S. Capitol. More than two dozen people associated with the Oath Keepers have been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to the Associated Press.
Madison City Council President Keith Furman and Vice President Jael Currie said they were "disgusted" to learn of Halverson’s past paid membership to the group.
"Its extremist positions have been well known since its founding over a decade ago," the two said in a joint statement. "Mere seconds of online research reveal the Oath Keepers as a far-right antigovernment group, not a group for veterans or the preservation of democracy."
The statement continues that while the nation was reacting to the murder of George Floyd, Oath Keepers promoted its membership using anti-Black Lives Matter statements.
At this same time, Halverson decided to pay to join this extremist group, it adds.
"Alder Halverson is certainly entitled to this choice and it’s up to him to decide if he can continue as Alder with this secret now being public. Having this information certainly calls into question the motivation behind his votes," it says. "The voters of District 17 will have an opportunity to decide who their Alder is in April 2023."
On Twitter, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway condemned Halverson’s membership, linking instructions for how city residents can run for Madison City Council in the next election cycle.
And I’ll just leave this here: https://t.co/oSmfCp8t52
— Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway (@SatyaForMadison) September 8, 2022
"It is deeply concerning that a member of the City Council decided to join — even briefly — an anti-government, extremist group," Rhodes-Conway said in a statement to the Cap Times. "This is not OK and not what Madison represents."
The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s BIPOC Coalition took to Twitter questioning the timing of Halverson’s membership as well.
An elected official within Madison's city council was just exposed as a former member of the right wing extremist group the Oath Keepers.
— BIPOC Coalition (@UWBIPOCCo) September 7, 2022
He says he joined mid-2020. Interesting how that aligns with the timeframe of anti-BLM rhetoric pushed by the org. What a coincidence, right? https://t.co/2nTEuuc9Pb
The Anti-Defamation League also identified elected officials from around the state, including village of North Hudson president Stan Wekkin, village of Sullivan trustee Randy McHugh, Two Rivers City Council president Darla LeClair, village of Holmen trustee Rodney Stanek and Rock County Board supervisor Rick Richard.

The British monarchy’s rules state that “a new sovereign succeeds to the throne as soon as his or her predecessor dies.”
That means Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son, Prince Charles, became king immediately upon her death.
However, it may be months or even longer before Charles’ formal coronation. In Elizabeth’s case, her coronation came on June 2, 1953 — 16 months after her accession on Feb. 6, 1952, when her father, King George VI, died.
A look at the formalities that take place after Charles accedes to the throne:
— Within 24 hours of a monarch’s death, a new sovereign is proclaimed formally as soon as possible at St. James’s Palace in London by the “Accession Council.” This is made up of officials from the Privy Council, which includes senior Cabinet ministers, judges and leaders of the Church of England, who are summoned to the palace for the meeting.
— Parliament is then recalled for lawmakers to take their oaths of allegiance to the new monarch.
— The new monarch will swear an oath before the Privy Council in St. James’s Palace to maintain the Church of Scotland, according to the Act of Union of 1707.
— The proclamation of the new sovereign is then publicly read out at St. James’s Palace, as well as in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast – the capital cities of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom.
— Charles must declare to Parliament on the first day of its session following the accession, or at the coronation, whichever is first, that he is a faithful Protestant. The oath is mandated by the Accession Declaration Act of 1910.
— He must also take a coronation oath as prescribed by the Coronation Oath Act of 1689, the Act of Settlement of 1701 and the Accession Declaration Act.
— He must be in communion with the Church of England, a flexible rule which allowed King George I and King George II to reign even though they were Lutherans.

Nate Storey examines lettuce growing in his then-startup company’s patented vertical towers inside a University of Wyoming greenhouse in 2012. Today, he is chief science officer of Silicon Valley startup Plenty Inc.
The city of Laramie and local business organizations are applying for a $20 million grant to build a new research building for Plenty Unlimited.
Plenty has been heralded as an innovator in farming, and has Laramie business leaders hopeful about its potential for the local business community. It uses vertical farming to grow produce in an indoor area about the size of a big-box store, claiming its method produces crop yields 350 times greater than traditional farming.
Plenty co-founder and University of Wyoming graduate Nate Storey started commercializing vertical farming methods in Laramie in 2011. He joined with Plenty in 2017. The company operates in Compton and San Francisco, California, in addition to Laramie.
If a grant for the company’s new facility is approved, the business could expand even more, retaining 71 pre-existing local jobs and creating 125 more.
The goal of the company is to make it possible to grow food anywhere, as long as there is water, people and power available to make it happen, Storey said during a recent Laramie City Council meeting. He explained that indoor farming is the easy part of the job. The hard part is finding a way to do it as efficiently as possible.
The proposed research and development center would be located in the Cirrus Sky Technology Park, near 22nd Street and Asphalt Lane. It would be used for conducting plant science research to streamline Plenty’s farming methods.
While food from the research and development facility would be experimental in nature and not U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved, it would be available for local farmers to use as compost, Storey said.
“It’s a rapidly growing company in a globally important marketplace with how we are going to feed the world in a water, energy and space-efficient manner over the next generations,” said Brad Enzi, president of the Laramie Chamber Business Alliance.
The city of Laramie applied for the building grant, and LCBA is offering to match with $500,000. LCBA would receive 75% of the net revenues of the building during a six-year leasing period and invest 80% of these back into economic development projects. The Wyoming Business Council would retain the remaining 25% of revenues.
If the plan goes through, Plenty will look to recruit scientists from around the world, and create a pathway for UW graduates and interns to work with the company.
“It’s not just about (agriculture) or energy, it’s about the future, and it’s about opening the doors for young folks who want to get into this thing,” Storey said.
He explained that while previously the company has had difficulty recruiting high-level scientists to live in Laramie, new facilities may help attract them to the job.
“I think there is a future where Laramie is known, and when I say ‘I live in Laramie,’ and ‘I work in Laramie,’ people will know what that means,” Storey said.
Laramie resident Dave Coffey told City Council he hopes the business will encourage more housing developers to consider Laramie as a viable place to build.
Mayor Paul Weaver echoed the sentiment, saying that “a rising tide will lift all boats.”
Wyoming Business Council CEO Josh Dorrell said collaborations between local governments and business groups are an important way to create more economic opportunities in the community.
“It’s important for us to not forget that the companies that are here in the state need just as much attention … as those we are trying to attract from out of state,” he said.
The Wyoming Business Council will consider the grant application this week. Then, it will be sent to the State Loan and Investment Board for approval Oct. 6.

(Updated with CBS News plans) “Tonight, the way I feel at the moment, I can sum it up in one word: deep upset and sadness,” said CNN’s Richard Quest live on TV from Britain today of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life And Duty To Service Photo Gallery
In a fast-moving day that saw the announcement just hours before that the 96-year-old monarch was “under medical supervision,” the impromptu response of the Warner Bros Discovery-owned cable newser’s Business Editor-at-Large was typical of U.S. media.
When the official announcement of “London Bridge is down” went out, almost two weeks of long-planned coverage on the death of the Queen started to fill UK screens. However, on this side of the Atlantic, things are still coming together, we’ve learned.
News executives have been meeting throughout the morning to make plans for extensive coverage during the next few days, with expectation that major news anchors of both broadcast and cable news outlets will travel to London. The expectation is that they will remain there for the elaborate funeral later this month.
Queen Elizabeth II Death: Obituary, Photo Gallery, Reaction & More
In America, all of the broadcast networks cut into their regularly scheduled programming this morning with special reports on Elizabeth II’s death. Amy Robach and TJ Holmes anchored the ABC News special report, Lester Holt was on air for NBC News, and Norah O’Donnell anchored for CBS News. O’Donnell is flying to London now to anchor CBS News’ nightly show from the British capitol tonight.
Each network had a ready stream of guests on hand, with the likes of former New Yorker editor and royals writer Tina Brown showing up on CBS. On the Paramount Global-owned outlet, CBS News Senior Foreign Correspondent Mark Philips had a slip of the tongue and referred to now-King Charles III becoming “Queen” upon his mother’s demise.
Since early today CNN, MSNBC and obviously black-suit anchors on BBC World News have been almost solely centered on the state of the Queen’ health at her Balmoral home. As more and more members of the Royal Family began to arrive at the Scottish retreat, Fox News moved off domestic news to focus exclusively on Elizabeth’s decline and then death.

Later, CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s voice cracked on live TV as the official statement of the Queen’s death was posted on the gate of Buckingham Palace at about 10:39 a.m. PT today. In the first minutes after the British monarch’s passing was announced, various outlets could be heard scrambling in their coverage, with sounds of producers bleeding over in to the coverage. Later, just before newly minted UK PM Liz Truss spoke to the world, CNN read out live King Charles III’s statement on “the moment of great sadness” of the end of his mother’s life and 70-year reign.

Dairgold, Port of Pasco Break Ground on New Dairy Plant
(Pasco, WA) -- Groundbreaking was held Thursday morning for what will be a massive new dairy production facility in Pasco for the Seattle-based Darigold Corporation. It was last year that the dairy co-op announced the new facility that will cost multi-millions of dollars to construct, will be able to process some 8 million pounds of milk per day. The milk will be supplied by more than 100 family-owned dairy farms in surrounding communities. CEO Joe Coote told a crowd at the plant site they will employ about 200 people in high-paying jobs from the region.

Mourners began converging at Buckingham Palace around 5pm as concerns about the monarch’s health began to mount and swelled after the sad news of her death emerged.
The flag at the palace was lowered to half-mast at 6.30pm as the news was announced.
As the news of Queen's death was announced, many among the hundreds of people were gathered outside the gates began crying.
By nightfall, there was a sea of people outside Buckingham Palace as the Queen's loyal public braved the heavy rain to pay their respects.
Spontaneous chants of "long live the King" from the crowd could be heard as they ushered in the new monarch, King Charles.
A crowd also began to swell outside Windsor Castle, where a Union flag fluttering from one of the towers has been lowered to half-mast.
Mourners also converged on Balmoral, where Her Majesty died surrounded by members of the Royal Family.
John Loughrey, 67, wept outside Buckingham Palace as he said he "can't believe" the news and paid tribute to the "inspirational" Queen whose "duty always came first".
"I met the Queen twice. I gave flowers to her. I can't believe it," he said.
The Queen's passing comes as...

"She was inspirational. She served her duty - her duty always came first, her family next.
"She went downhill after the Duke of Edinburgh died. God save the Queen."

Mr Loughrey said he would be camping near the palace for 10 days as a mark of respect for the Queen before lighting a candle for her at Westminster Abbey.
Sheila De Bellaigue, 77 from London, expressed the view of many gathered at the Palace.
"I'm feeling very sad as everybody is here. She's been a wonderful Queen and will be very much missed."
Michael Hammond learned of the news when he saw the Union Flag being lowered to half mast.
"I'm absolutely gutted. I thought she embodied the British spirit," said the 23-year-old from Southampton.
Floral tributes have started to be laid outside Windsor Castle to mourn the death of the Queen.
The crowds outside were so big that staff members returning to the castle struggled to drive through the main entrance.
Royal fans and mourners can pay their respects to the late Queen while she’s lying in state at the Palace of Westminster for three days.
The Queen’s body is expected to arrive in London by royal train after she passed away peacefully at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 8, 2022.
In a sombre statement, Buckingham Palace today confirmed Her Majesty Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch in British history, had passed away - making her son, Charles, King.

The UK was immediately plunged into a state of mourning, with plans for her funeral and a national day of remembrance to be announced in the coming days.
Charles, who will now be known as King Charles III, gave a sombre statement as he led the nation in mourning tonight.
The new King said: “The death of my beloved mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

(Bloomberg) — From Saudi Arabia to West Texas, drillers are pumping more oil to cash in on a scorching price rally. But a region that’s home to a fifth of the world’s crude reserves is mostly missing out.
All over Latin America, the upside of $100 crude has been blunted by nationalist policies that tightened government control of the energy industry and sidelined the foreign investors who had helped boost production. Output from Brazil and Guyana is rising, but across the region as a whole, production has fallen so much that it’s now barely meeting demand there. Mexico and Argentina import more crude and natural gas than they export, a reversal from the last oil boom a decade ago.
Reliance on pricey fuel imports is putting the leaders of Latin America’s oil-producing countries squarely in the political crosshairs. Facing backlash from cash-strapped motorists, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is trailing his main rival ahead of the October election. Ecuador’s president was nearly impeached following protests over fuel prices and inflation. Mexico is spending billions to subsidize gasoline.
All this means the world can’t count on Latin America to ramp up output of oil and natural gas as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine squeezes global supply. While producers in the US and the Middle East are adding production, it’s not enough to halt the rampant price increases that threaten to trigger fuel rationing and topple economies into recession.
It’s a stark contrast to how earlier commodities booms played out in Latin America. In the 2000s, leaders like like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Ecuador’s Evo Morales used windfall oil and gas cash to shore up their popularity at home and expand their regional influence. But those outsized revenues were only possible because of foreign investments that raised production. When Chavez and Morales nationalized their oil industries, major projects were mismanaged and the money dried up.
“The oil industries have been victims of the resource nationalism that prevailed during the supercycle,” said Francisco Monaldi, a lecturer in energy economics at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy and an expert on Latin America. “Now they don’t have the capacity to do what Chavez did in 2003 and 2004, to build up massive spending.”
Of course, trade balances would be even worse for Latin America’s state-owned oil exporters if crude prices hadn’t soared this year. Brazil’s Petroleo Brasiliero SA, Ecuador’s Ecopetrol SA and even Mexico’s heavily indebted Petroleos Mexicanos are reporting stellar profits and paying robust dividends. But it takes time for higher tax revenue from crude exports to make its way into government coffers, and only a prolonged supercycle would eventually bring relief to the strained region.
The wider economic benefits of the oil rally haven’t been enough to derail an anti-establishment wave across Latin America. Colombia recently elected an outsider to the presidency who plans to ban fracking. In Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who presided over an economic expansion during his first administration thanks in large part to commodities, is the favorite to replace Bolsonaro in the upcoming election.
In Monaldi’s view, Latin America’s oil fields would be pumping 20 million barrels a day, more than double current levels, if producers there had all the benefits enjoyed by drillers in business-friendly Texas: easy access to capital, low taxes and light regulation. Instead, interventionist policies — like seizing oil-field stakes from foreign partners, hiking taxes and failing to explore areas ripe for drilling — are coming home to roost.
“It is astonishing how bad the above ground risks are and how they have affected the industry’s potential,” Monaldi said in an interview.
Small Gains
This year’s biggest gainer in the region is offshore-drilling newcomer Guyana. But it won’t see more increases until 2023, when Exxon Mobil Corp.’s next floating production tanker arrives. Venezuela’s oil output rebounded under looser enforcement of US sanctions in 2021, but it’s unclear if it can expand or even maintain current levels — production that’s still a shadow of what it was just five years ago. Gains from Brazil, which has significant offshore resources that are yet to be tapped, have been modest.
Even the surge in Argentina’s oil output to the highest in a decade is unlikely to bring any relief to markets, since the country is only a mid-sized producer. Infrastructure constraints and domestic price controls limit how fast it can expand despite world-class shale deposits.
In total, the International Energy Agency is only expecting an additional 400,000 barrels a day this year from Latin America, a third of expected growth in the US.
The region’s main production success story this century has been Brazil, but even there output would be twice current levels if Lula’s first administration hadn’t halted development for half a decade to re-write oil legislation, Monaldi and other analysts said.

If Lula wins as expected, a main concern is that the government would slow down development of any big discoveries to increase the state’s take, said Andre Fagundes, who covers Brazil for energy consultancy Welligence. Petrobras is currently preparing to drill at an under-explored offshore region near the equatorial margin.
If Brazil makes major new discoveries like recent successes in Guyana and Suriname, a Lula administration might slow development to raise taxes, Fagundes said.
“This might be one topic they review for future license rounds,” he said.

Who Was Queen Elizabeth II? Britain’s Longest-Reigning Monarch Passes Away!
Britain’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at age 96. She had been holding the position of the queen and the nation’s figurehead for the past 70 years. Read on to know more about her life journey and who will take over the command now.
Early Life:
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, officially titled Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926, in London, England. She took command as the queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on February 6, 1952. She is to date the longest reigning monarch in British history.
Queen Elizabeth II: Early Life
Queen Elizabeth was the daughter of prince Albert, duke of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She was the daughter of King George V’s younger son, and thus, there was very little chance for young Elizabeth to accede to the throne. It was when Edward VIII, her uncle, renounced his throne in the favor of Elizabeth’s father in 1936. That is when her father became King George VI, leading her to become the heir presumptive.

Queen Elizabeth II: Accession To The Throne
In 1951, King George VI’s health saw a serious decline. Princess Elizabeth, being his elder daughter, represented King George VI on various state occasions including the Trooping the Colour. Unfortunately, the king passed away on February 6, 1952. This sad demise of her father led to Princess Elizabeth becoming the Queen.
The initial few months of her reign were spent in great mourning for her father, King George VI. However, the lady, after moving to Buckingham Palace from Clarence House, bravely undertook all the routine responsibilities and duties of the sovereign. She then carried out her reign's first state opening of Parliament on November 4, 1952. The Queen’s coronation was held at Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953.

Queen Elizabeth II, Modern Monarchy, And The Challenges
Queen Elizabeth had been a firm believer in the modern role of monarchy. Her belief is manifested in some of the gestures like televising the domestic life of the royal family in the year 1970.
However, the path of modern monarchy was not a cakewalk for the Queen. The royal family had to face a storm of troubles during the 1990s. The year 1992, is regarded as the royal family’s annus horribilis by the Queen herself. This year, Prince Andrew with his wife, Sarah, Duchess of York separated/ Prince Charles, and his wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, too did the same.
Additionally, Anne got divorced. Adding to the woes, the country faced a recession, leading to huge resentment toward the royal family’s lifestyle. In the year 1992, Queen Elizabeth agreed to pay taxes on her private income.
The divorce of Charles and Diana was also a concerning issue for the family as the event eroded all kinds of support.
Next, resentment grew darker after Diana’s death in 1997, and when Queen Elizabeth did not initially allow the flying of the national flag at half-staff over Buckingham.
The Golden Jubilee Year
The year 2002 was the Queen’s 50th year on the throne. To celebrate the “Golden Jubilee” various events were organized at the Commonwealth. This also included several days of festivities in London. However, the spark of the celebrations died with the demise of Elizabeth’s mother and sister.
The year 2011 gave yet another reason for celebration to the royal family with the wedding of the elder son of Charles and Diana, Prince William of Wales to Catherine Middleton.
The year 2012 was the “Diamond Jubilee” year for Queen Elizabeth. The year marked 60 long years of the throne for the Queen.
The ongoing year, viz, 2022, is celebrated as Queen Elizabeth's “Platinum Jubilee”, marking the Queen’s 7 decades on the throne.
Demise Of Queen Elizabeth II
The United Kingdom’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral, at age 96. She reigned for 7 long decades.
Queen Elizabeth’s son King Charles III expressed his remorse for the sad demise of his mother. He regarded the death of his mother as a “moment of great sadness” not only for him and his family.
Senior royals gathered at Queen’s Scottish estate soon after her health concerns grew on Thursday.
"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world", expressed His Majesty the King.
Buckingham Palace, in a statement, stated, "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”
The Union flag placed on the palace’s top was lowered to half-mast at 18:30 BST.
Who Will Reign The Throne Now?
Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, immediately takes over the reign after the sad demise of his mother.

SHREVEPORT, La., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneurial Accelerator Program (EAP) portfolio company Oleolive, Inc. has been awarded a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 $400,000 research grant from the National Cancer Institute for "Chemosensitization of Glioblastoma by Propentofylline." Drs. Nhan Tran and Joseph Loftus, investigators at Mayo Clinic and experts in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), collaborated with Oleolive on the proposal.
Propentofylline (PPF) was originally tested in multiple clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease but, although shown to be safe and effective, was not brought to the commercial market. PPF is considered a repurposed drug, defined as a drug developed for one indication and repositioned to treat another, in this case GBM. Repurposed drugs require less money and time for development and overall costs much less compared to research and development of new drugs.
GBM is a brain cancer with no effective therapeutics that claims the lives of over 15,000 Americans each year. GBM has poor clinical outcomes due to therapy-resistant tumor cells leading to recurrence; therefore, therapeutic strategies that enhance tumor cell chemosensitivity are essential for improved patient outcomes. This project will evaluate if PPF increases sensitization of GBM tumor cells to chemotherapy. This research could lead to a therapeutic strategy to extend survival for GBM patients beyond the current average of 1.25 years.
Oleolive, Inc. is a preclinical private biotechnology company founded in 2017, located in Shreveport, Louisiana. The company is developing therapeutics to treat a variety of human indications, including brain cancer, Alzheimer's disease, fibrosis, and traumatic blood loss in austere environments. The company has received more than $5M in STTRs and small business innovation research (SBIR) grant awards from multiple funding sources including the National Institute on Aging, the National Cancer Institute, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the Department of Defense. Oleolive also manufactures the dietary ingredient Oligen which contains compounds from Extra Virgin Olive Oil that promote healthy aging.

Report Released on the Case to Return VIA Commuter Train to Service
COBOURG, ON, Sept. 8, 2022 /CNW/ - A partnership of municipalities in eastern Ontario has released a report detailing the critical need for the return of VIA Rail Canada's commuter train service along the Kingston to Toronto corridor. Based on a survey of residents in this region between July 7 and August 5, 2022, the report anticipates ridership for Train 651 will be greater than pre-pandemic levels and, if train service is not returned, these residents will be hard hit, with increased barriers to accessing job opportunities, education and retraining, and medical appointments.
"With over 2800 commuter responses, our report clearly supports the case for the return of VIA Rail Canada's commuter Train 651," states Bob Sanderson, Northumberland County Councillor and Chair of the Economic Development, Planning and Tourism Committee, on behalf of the partnership. "Eastern Ontario riders need this train to get to work, to get to school for education and training, and to seek needed medical treatments. We are calling upon VIA Rail Canada to welcome riders back to Train 651."
Train 651, VIA's commuter train servicing the Kingston to Toronto corridor, was suspended early in the COVID-19 pandemic due to a drop in ridership. As of the end of June 2022, most of VIA Rail Canada's previous train routes have resumed across the country, however Train 651 has not yet been reinstated. Now that Ontario is open again, there is growing concern among residents in this region over the lack of service. The counties of Northumberland and Hastings, and the cities of Quinte West, Belleville and Kingston, have partnered to press for action by VIA with the release of a new report.
To help present their case to both the federal Minister of Transport and VIA Rail Canada, the group has today released: The Case for Getting VIA Train 651 Back on Track: A report on the critical importance of commuter train services for a growing Eastern Ontario, which demonstrates the critical importance for Eastern Ontario commuters to have access to affordable and convenient train transportation rather than making the choice between unemployment or a costly and time-consuming commute.
The report shows commuter demand and usage will not only return to pre-pandemic levels but is expected to increase significantly from previous years. The report also highlights the impact the current loss of service is having on the economy and the environment, with the absence of this service creating a hardship for many commuters traveling to work given the rising cost of fuel for vehicles.
"Our report confirms that 96 per cent of pre-covid users would return to this service, with 31 per cent of all survey respondents identifying as new users eager to access this service. The data suggests that if VIA Train 651 returns, ridership levels will be stronger than pre-pandemic use," remarks Councillor Sanderson. "The labour force in Eastern Ontario is stronger than pre-pandemic levels and our population is growing at a faster rate than the rest of the province. Our workforce needs this rail service as an alternative to costly vehicle use and residents want to make a responsible choice when it comes to the environment."
The group has sent a request for a meeting, along with the report, to both the federal Minister of Transport, who oversees the mandate for getting people safely to where they need to go, and to VIA Rail Canada, urging for action in returning VIA commuter Train 651 to service.
"Eastern Ontario needs fast, reliable and sustainable transportation options," states Councillor Sanderson. "We need to get our thriving labour force to work, students and adults to school to acquire in-demand skills and retraining, and the service is also needed by residents to get to much needed medical treatments. It is time to get Train 651 back on track."
Full details of the report, The Case for Getting VIA Train 651 Back on Track, can viewed at https://JoinIn.Northumberland.ca/keeping-your-commute-on-track
Highlights of the report:
The Case for Getting VIA Train 651 Back on Track: Report on the critical importance of commuter train services for a growing Eastern Ontario
View the full report here.
Overview
Between July 7 and August 5, 2022, municipal partners including the counties of Northumberland and Hastings, and the cities of Quinte West, Belleville and Kingston, surveyed residents of the region about their past use and anticipated future need of VIA Rail Canada's commuter train services, and about the impact of the loss of these services. The survey was available online and it garnered 2,811 responses.
- Pre-Covid riders valued Train 651 for the convenience, affordability and access to employment, education, and medical treatments.
- 66% used VIA Train 651 for work and 14% used the service for education and medical purposes, with 76% of the users accessing the service one or more times per week.
- When Train 651 service resumes, ridership will be stronger than pre-pandemic usage.
- 96% of pre-Covid users will return when the service is resumed, with 31% of all survey respondents who indicated intent to access this service identifying as new users.
- Without the return to service, workers in this region of Eastern Ontario will be hard hit.
- 85% of all survey respondents intend to access this service, with 70% intending to ride the train one or more times per week.
- 64% of intended users need this service as an alternative to rising household expenses and high vehicle fuel costs.
- 82% of intended users want to avoid vehicle use and 63% want to take-action with climate change.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The number of homeless residents counted in Los Angeles County increased again but at a much slower pace than in previous years, according to figures released Thursday that show that more people left the streets for shelters.
The federally required tally conducted in late February found 69,144 people were homeless on any given night in LA County, a 4.1% rise from 2020. About 42,000 were within the city of Los Angeles, where public frustration has grown as tents have proliferated on sidewalks and in parks and other locations.
By comparison, the county saw a 25.9% rise in the homeless population between 2018 and 2020, said Kristina Dixon, acting co-executive director of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, or LAHSA.
“While it is too soon to know what this year's count results will mean long term, the numbers are suggesting there was a flattening of the curve or the percent increase of people experiencing homelessness is shrinking," Dixon said.
However, it also could also reflect the impact of a winter COVID-19 surge that made it harder to count homeless residents, especially young people and families, Dixon said.
LA County is the nation's most populous, with about 10 million people. More than 1 in 5 of all homeless people in the U.S. live in the county, based on the latest federal tally that found 326,000 homeless people nationwide.
The crisis is most apparent in downtown Los Angeles, where thousands of people live in makeshift shanties that line entire blocks in the notorious neighborhood known as Skid Row. Tents regularly pop up on the pavement and parks outside City Hall and homelessness is a major issue in the mayor's race. Encampments also increasingly are found in suburban areas and under freeway overpasses.
Volunteers with LAHSA fanned out across the county in February for the effort's main component, the unsheltered street tally. The so-called point-in-time count took place over three days but results weren’t released until they were validated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD.
Among other findings, nearly half of homeless people in the count identified as Latino, which is in line with the county's overall Hispanic population, while 39.5% reported serious mental illness or substance abuse, which was lower than the national average, Dixon said.
Congress requires the tallies every two years and uses the information to distribute resources for homeless services. However, HUD granted an exemption for the count in 2021 because of the coronavirus outbreak and kept federal funding in place.
California has an estimated 161,000 homeless residents, the most in the U.S. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, facing token opposition as he runs for reelection this year, has budgeted record sums to combat homelessness that pervades all of the state’s major cities and many smaller communities as well.
Newsom is expected to sign a bill that will establish a controversial California court program to steer homeless people with severe mental disorders into treatment. Lawmakers gave the measure final approval last month, despite objections from civil liberties advocates who fear it will be used to force unhoused residents into care they don’t want.
The county and city of Los Angeles have spent tens of millions of dollars under federal programs to provide shelters and permanent housing to the homeless population. Molly Rysman, LAHSA's acting co-director, said that work has paid off, but acknowledged residents might not believe it when they see the sagging tents, rusting RVs and makeshift shelters that have become familiar sights from Hollywood to the San Fernando Valley.
“The streets still look pretty bad," Rysman said. Part of the reason, she said, was that the homeless camps were allowed to remain during the pandemic so residents could shelter in place, and people living there also accumulated more items. But the count found there were fewer individuals living in each tent or RV than before the pandemic.
The result, Rysman said, is a “bit of a disconnect” between the number of people counted and the amount of encampments filling neighborhoods.
LAHSA officials said additional funding and efforts to shelter people were effective, with more than 86,000 rehoused in the past four years. Programs such as Project Homekey, which moved people from the streets into converted hotels, have increased the number of available shelter beds by 70% from 2019 to 2022, according to Dixon.
But the county is suffering from a drastic shortage of affordable housing that exacerbates the problem, she said.
In addition, advocates say, government programs that offered tenant protections, financial assistance and investments for housing and services during the pandemic are ending or will end soon, which could drive more people onto the street.
David Smith, director of litigation at the nonprofit Inner City Law Center that focuses on housing issues, said if Los Angeles doesn't make permanent the temporary rent forbearance rules and eviction protections, the city could see another “wave of homelessness,.”
"The protections against evictions will go away, but you’re still carrying this massive rent debt that you’ll be owing down the road," Smith said. “Many, many people are all of a sudden going to be ripe for eviction.”
Rysman said LA city and county also need to expand supportive services and permanent housing for homeless people.
“The biggest factor driving homelessness is that housing is unaffordable for just about everyone," Rysman said. “To fix this, we need to increase our housing supply across the county by adding more than 800,000 units over the next eight years."
She said that figure was the target included in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment plan, a periodic housing growth program required under state law.

On Thursday Buckingham Palace released a statement stating concern for the Queen’s health. It read: “Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”
Following the announcement, flags all over the country and in the North West were lowered to half mast as a "mark of respect" for Queen Elizabeth II.
A sign outside of Liverpool Town Hall read: "The Union Flag is being flown at Half-Mast on this building following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."
Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Cllr Roy Gladden has said people visiting the Town Hall will be able to pay tribute to The Queen there.
He said: "We join with the rest of the nation in paying tribute to Her Majesty The Queen, who has served our nation with selfless devotion.
“The people of our city will remember her with great fondness and affection, particularly for her many visits to Liverpool during her long reign, which always drew large crowds of well-wishers.
“Over the coming days, we will be giving residents the opportunity to pay their respects and reflect on the Queen’s remarkable reign.
“It is fitting that our Town Hall–a building Her Majesty always enjoyed visiting–will be one of the places that people can come and pay tribute.”
Flags are also at half-mast or lowered, at Runcorn Town Hall, Widnes Municipal Building, Widnes Masonic Hall and the Halton RBL.
Wirral Council tweeted a picture of the Town Hall's flag at half mast and said: "We are greatly saddened to hear about the death of Her Majesty The Queen and will provide further information in due course."
As a mark of respect, all flags at Sefton Council buildings and assets across the borough will be lowered to half-mast as Sefton pays tribute to Her Majesty the Queen.

CIRT initiates action after letter from Palghar police regarding Cyrus Mistry accident
CIRT, a Pune-based institute received a letter from the Palghar police department seeking help regarding the design of the accident spot
The Central Institute for Road Transport (CIRT) in Pune has initiated study of the spot-National Highway No. 48 where former head of Tata sons Cyrus Mistry and Jehangir Pandole lost their lives in a car accident. The action from CIRT came a day after Pune-based institute received a request letter from the Palghar police department seeking help and advice about the ‘particular spot’ on the highway.
According to officials, CIRT has forwarded this letter to the concerned department within the organisation for conducting a detailed study, after which a detailed report will be submitted to Palghar police by the institute.
“We have received the request letter from the Palghar police on Wednesday regarding the Cyrus Mistry accident case. They have asked us to conduct study and review the particular accident spot to check if it is wrongly designed or other related details. We have now forwarded the letter to the concerned officer in the institute to study about the case,” said CIRT director KVRK Prasad.
Cyrus Mistry was travelling with three others when the accident took place on Sunday near Kasa on highway where three lanes of the six-lane NH 48 narrow into two lanes. The accident was so intense that the SUV in which all of them were travelling collided into the concrete barricade and the persons inside the car were seriously injured.
“After going through the letter and all the requirements they have asked for, our officials will work over it. Once our study is done, will submit our report to the Palghar police but we cannot reveal anything about it to media as of now,” said Prasad.
CIRT is an institution that conducts various traffic and road transport related research.
“In a bid to study the technicalities and the infrastructure of the highway road, whether it was faulty or wrongly designed we have seek help from CIRT. We are looking forward to their expert advice and once we get their report and analysis it will be helpful for us in the investigation,” said Balasaheb Patil, superintendent of police, Palghar.

How does Britain's royal succession work?
London — Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, died Thursday at the age of 96. The news came after the palace issued a statement earlier in the day saying doctors were "concerned" about the queen's health, and all of the senior members of the royal family traveled to her home at Balmoral Castle in Scotland to be with her.
Who succeeds the queen?
Charles, long known as the Prince of Wales, officially became king the moment the queen passed away.
The ascension to the throne happens automatically under a centuries-old common law rule that recognizes that, when an individual sovereign dies, the government must carry on without interruption, according to University College London's Constitution Unit.
Buckingham Palace confirmed Thursday that the new monarch will be known as King Charles III.
Does Charles' wife Camilla become queen?
Camilla, Charles' wife, is widely expected to become "queen consort," and will likely be referred to as Queen Camilla. Queen Elizabeth II said herself earlier this year that it was her wish that Camilla be queen consort after her own passing.
"Queen consort" is a title for the wife of the monarch, but it does not convey the same power as a queen, who inherits the throne through the line of succession.
What about the coronation?
Ceremonies like the coronation are not technically required for the heir to the throne to become the new British monarch, UCL's Constitution Unit says. King Edward VIII, for example, ruled without ever being formally crowned.
That said, the coronation and other ceremonies are historic, and important.
The coronation will be orchestrated and paid for by the British government, unlike the wedding of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, for example, which was paid for by the royal family privately.
The timing is determined following the death of a sitting monarch, and there's no rush. Queen Elizabeth II's coronation wasn't until June 1953, months after she ascended to the throne in February 1952.
What happens after the death of the queen?
After the death of a sovereign, when it is practicable but typically within 24 hours, the Accession Council will be summoned at St. James Palace in London.
The Accession Council is comprised of a range of national officials and ceremonial dignitaries, including "Privy Counsellors, Great Officers of State, the Lord Mayor and High Sheriffs of the City of London, Realm High Commissioners, some senior civil servants and certain others invited to attend," according to the website of the Privy Council. The Privy Council is the oldest part of the British government, formed almost 1,000 years ago to deal specifically with issues on which government business and royal matters intersect.
The council carries out the work of recognizing the new monarch on behalf of the government in two separate sessions. The new sovereign will not attend the first part, where all members of the council will "formally announce the death of the Monarch and proclaim the succession of the new Sovereign."
The second part of the Council sees only the Privy Counsellors meet with the new monarch, who will declare support for the British constitution and the Church of Scotland, of which the king or queen is the official head.
Formal proclamations will then be read out publicly in all four of the British home nations, at St. James Palace in London; in Edinburgh, Scotland; in Cardiff, Wales; and in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Participants in the upcoming Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley fundraiser received their official red jerseys Wednesday in Abbotsford.
The event took place at Northview Community Church and was attended by team members and representatives from the Canadian Cancer Society and title sponsor Applewood Auto Group.
Also on hand were Thariq and Nathan, both Cops for Cancer honorary members who are among the children benefiting from the funds raised.
The law enforcement and emergency services personnel from the Fraser Valley have taken part in an extensive cycling training program for the past eight months.
The jersey presentation officially marked the completion of the training phase of their journey.
RELATED: Cops for Cancer riders visit Abbotsford school to thank students
Tour de Valley sees the participants cycle more than 800 kilometres across the Valley from Sept. 21 to 29 while raising funds for childhood cancer research and support services.
The tour travels through Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope, Boston Bar, Mission, White Rock, South Surrey, Delta, Tsawwassen, Ladner and Surrey.
As of Thursday (Sept. 8), they had raised almost $254,000 towards their $300,000 goal.
Cops for Cancer first began in 1994, when Sgt. Gary Goulet of the Edmonton Police Service met Lyle Jorgenson, a then five-year-old boy who had cancer.
Goulet requested the meeting after learning that Lyle was being ridiculed at school because of his hair loss due to chemotherapy.
Goulet was so moved by the boy’s story that he rallied his colleagues to shave their heads in solidarity.
In 1997, the first Cops for Cancer cycling event, Tour de Rock, launched with a dozen police officers cycling from one end of Vancouver Island to the other.
Today, Cops for Cancer has evolved across the country including four cycling tours in B.C.
Hundreds of first responders have raised nearly $50 million through Cops for Cancer events.
Visit tourdevalley.ca for more information or to donate to the cause.
The 36 Tour de Valley participants are:
• Abbotsford Police Department – Const. Mary Bouwman, Const. Leah Garrigus, Const. Nate Perrey, Sgt. Kevin Small, Const. Kylie Thiessen, Const. Phil Toews and Const. Elliot Westergaard
• Delta Police Department – Const. Bianca Boyce, Const. Kimberley Loeppky and Const. Terra Schmuland
• E division RCMP – Sgt. Heather Lew and Supt. Sharon Toor
• Langley Air Services – S/Const. Chris Johnston
• Surrey Police Service and RCMP– Const. Patrick Bain, Sgt. Kathleen Darby, Const. Branden Klassen, Const. Chantelle Lidstone, Const. Karen Lieuwen, Sgt. Tara Nicholls, Const. Jeremy Pearce, Const. Mike Ronningen, Sgt. Sean Webb and Const. Gary Wong
• White Rock RCMP – Const. Emma Dyer
• Upper Fraser Valley RCMP – Const. Nikole Anderson, Const. Mark Janzen, Const. Jenna Moore and Sgt. Krista Vrolyk
• BC Emergency Health Services – Mel Dick and John Esau
• BC Sheriff Service – Philippe Lacassse

Investors in Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc (Symbol: SPCE) saw new options become available today, for the October 28th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the SPCE options chain for the new October 28th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $6.00 strike price has a current bid of 55 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $6.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $5.45 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of SPCE, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $6.33/share today.
Because the $6.00 strike represents an approximate 5% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 9.17% return on the cash commitment, or 66.92% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc, and highlighting in green where the $6.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $6.50 strike price has a current bid of 61 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of SPCE stock at the current price level of $6.33/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $6.50. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 12.32% if the stock gets called away at the October 28th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if SPCE shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing SPCE's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $6.50 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $6.50 strike represents an approximate 3% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 9.64% boost of extra return to the investor, or 70.35% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $6.33) to be 86%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Sorry, Android users.
Those green bubbles that appear around text messages you send to your friends and family with iPhones don't appear to be going away anytime soon.
Apple CEO Tim Cook seemed to reject the idea of adopting a new messaging protocol on the company's devices that would make communicating with Android users smoother.
"I don't hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy in on that at this point," Cook said about implementing the RCS standard on iPhones, according to The Verge. He was speaking during Vox Media's Code 2022 event on Wednesday.
Apple uses its own iMessage service.
When Vox Media's LiQuan Hunt complained to Cook that his mother couldn't see the videos he sent her because they had different phones, the Apple chief replied: "Buy your mom an iPhone."
The blue and green bubbles, explained
In the early days of mobile messaging, cell phone users could send each other short text messages of no more than 160 characters. That was called SMS, or Short Message Service.
MMS, or Multimedia Message Service, built on that by allowing users to send a photo or short video.
Now texting is much more than that. That's where RCS – which stands for Rich Communication Services – comes in.
RCS is a new messaging standard used by Google and other telecom companies that supports group chats and read receipts, lets users send higher quality photos and videos and has end-to-end encryption, among other features.
If it sounds a lot like iMessage, that's because it is.
But iMessage is only available to Apple users. When an Android user texts someone with an iPhone, their message appears as an SMS or MMS message, because Apple doesn't support RCS. Hence the pixelated images and buggy group chats.
Texts sent via iMessage show up as blue bubbles on iPhones, while their SMS/MMS counterparts are green.
Google rolled out RCS for Android users in the U.S. in 2019. The company has launched a PR campaign aimed at shaming Apple into adopting RCS, but so far the iPhone maker hasn't budged.
Internal Apple emails showed executives arguing that allowing iMessage on Android devices would "hurt us more than help us" and that restricting the app to Apple users had a "serious lock-in" effect, according to The Verge.

So no wonder it doesn't hold the charge. It even recommends that I take my phone in for service. And by the way, we checked *** new battery is *** lot cheaper than *** new phone. Cool tips. Next up, just last week, I told you the Department of Transportation is working on *** new dashboard that's going to help you find out what airlines ou if your flight gets canceled or delayed and now it's up the new dashboard lists each major carrier comparing their policies on different issues. For example, which airlines offer meals right? For delays of more than three hours, which ones offered to rebook you on the same or *** different airline at no additional cost if your flight is delayed. Now the dashboard focuses on controllable cancelations. So basically not the weather we're talking about stuff they're at fault for staffing shortages, stuff like that. You can find the link on the D. O. T. S. Aviation consumer protection website or at Rawson Reports dot com. So when the airline says we don't know you anything like yeah you do report said it right there finally renewing your passport about to get easier. The U. S. State Department started *** pilot program last month where you can sign up to renew it online. There are 25 5000 open slots. Those filled up in about 10 days. Now the agency says you know what we're gonna do it again, we're gonna take another 25,000 applications online this month before rolling out the program more widely next year. It's not clear how much time the online process will save or when it will open up again. But it's pretty cool. Speaking of somebody who had to go down there but you can look for updates right here right here on the State Department's Travel website and right here at rossen reports dot com that's all for today back to you

Rossen Reports: Here's what you'll get for your canceled or delayed flight
Flight delays and cancellations have us all wondering; what do the airlines owe us? Do we get money back or free miles? Do airlines have the power to offer food and lodging vouchers?

The monarch sat on the throne for some of the biggest moments in British footballing history, and was also an active participant in a host of memorable events.
From presenting England with their only ever World Cup in 1966, to paying tribute to the Lionesses in summer 2022 following their Euros victory, she left an indelible mark on the beautiful game.
Here is what her death means for football moving forward.
How will British football mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II?
Almost every club in the British football pyramid posted a tribute to Elizabeth II when her death was announced on Thursday.
Newcastle United Women also took the decision not to live-tweet their game against Middlesbrough.
It is likely that further, more formalised tributes will be organised before, during and after games in the near future.
When Prince Philip died in 2021, Premier League players wore black armbands and there were two-minute silences before each game.
Will games be called off in the UK?
Arsenal's Europa League meeting with FC Zurich had already kicked off when the news was announced, and the game was concluded as scheduled. Manchester United and West Ham also released statements to confirm that their respective European games would be going ahead on Thursday night.
The EFL have announced that Friday's games - Burnley vs Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers vs Stockport County - have been postponed as a "mark of respect". A decision on the rest of the weekend's fixtures will be announced on Friday morning.
Following the death of the last monarch, King George VI, football matches went ahead the following weekend, although rugby and hockey games were suspended.
However, it has been widely reported that no professional football is expected to take place this weekend.
Will Champions League and international football be affected?
It is not yet certain how football outside of the UK will be affected by the news, but plenty of clubs paid tribute to Elizabeth on Thursday evening.
How will other sports mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II?
England Cricket have announced that Day 2 of their test match against South Africa will not take place on Friday, September 9.
It remains to be seen if other sports will follow suit.
Who will succeed Queen Elizabeth II?
Queen Elizabeth II has been succeeded by her son, Charles, who took the throne immediately following her death.
Charles released the following statement after ascending to the throne: "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
"During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held."
The lyrics to the United Kingdom's national anthem, God Save the Queen, will be changed following Charles' ascension.
When is the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II?
The details of the Queen's funeral have not yet been confirmed.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif told an American diplomat Thursday that the world must step up its fight against climate change to avoid more deadly flooding in the impoverished Islamic nation, the government said.
Sharif made the comment in a meeting with Derek Chollet, a senior State Department official visiting Islamabad to assess damages and arrange for aid in the wake of floods that have killed 1,355 people, affected 3.3 million people and made more than half a million homeless.
According to the statement, Chollet “affirmed that the U.S. would stand by Pakistan in the wake of this immense challenge, extend vital support, and help affected people rebuild their lives and communities.”
The meeting came a day ahead of the first American planeload expected to arrive in Pakistan with supplies. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also was to arrive in Pakistan Friday to travel to flood-hit areas.
Guterres is arriving in Pakistan less than two weeks after he issued an appeal for $160 million in emergency funding to help millions affected by record-breaking floods that have caused at least $10 billion in damages.
Last week, Guterres warned about the effects of climate change in the future.
“Let’s stop sleepwalking toward the destruction of our planet by climate change,” he said on August 31 in a video message to a ceremony in Islamabad. “Today, it’s Pakistan. Tomorrow, it could be your country,” he said at the time.
So far, U.N. agencies and several countries have sent dozens of planeloads of aid to Pakistani flood victims. Washington has announced the U.S. will provide $30 million in assistance to help victims of the flood.
The catastrophe has added new burdens to the cash-strapped Pakistan and highlighted the disproportionate effect of climate change on improverished populations. Experts say Pakistan is responsible for only 0.4% of the world’s historic emissions blamed for climate change. The U.S. is responsible for 21.5%, China for 16.5% and the EU 15%.

Star Trek: Discovery Reveals First Look And New Details For Thrilling Adventure Coming In Season 5
Let's fly.
Star Trek: Discovery is currently in production mode for Season 5, and after a tremendously epic end to Season 4, fans are no doubt eager for Captain Michael Burnham’s next big adventure to begin. It looks like showrunner Michelle Paradise has something quite large indeed in store for Season 5, as the first image and synopsis tease an massive mission filled with mystery and danger.
If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to re-up that Paramount+ subscription. Coming out of the Star Trek Day celebration, the first details for Season 5 of Discovery are here, and it sounds like the crew is heading on a mission that will put them up against fearsome enemies and mysterious unknown forces (though maybe nothing as mysterious as 10-C). Read all about it below to learn about the upcoming mission to seek out an “ancient power”:
There’s something about the term ancient power that gives me an Indiana Jones kind of vibe. I’m sure this power will create some sort of major problem if it falls into the wrong hands, but beyond that, I think there are many fans excited for the Discovery crew to embark on a mission in which the fate of the entire galaxy is not immediately at stake (it sounds like we could see more space pirates, though). Instead, this has the makings of a race between Starfleet and other major factions of the era to obtain a great power, which sounds unlike a lot of what this corner of the Trek-dom has tackled previously.
Michael Burnham is still a Captain in the upcoming adventure, but that doesn’t mean she won’t get her hands dirty in Star Trek: Discovery Season 5. Check out this first look photo from the upcoming season which shows Burnham racing along on a vehicle, and presumably attempting to escape that massive dust storm behind her:
Star Trek Day also showed off a behind-the-scenes video of Discovery Season 5, and while there wasn’t much revealed in the way of plot, there was one important detail on display. One segment from the video showed Blu Del Barrio hanging out on the lot with Mary Wiseman, which could be very good news for Tilly fans!
Tilly left the Discovery to teach at Starfleet Academy in Season 4, but appeared in the season finale to help aid in Starfleet’s defense of the anomaly. I’m choosing to take Wiseman’s appearance on set a positive sign that she will be involved in Season 5, though we can’t say for how long or how often that may be. David Ajala is also mentioned among the cast mentioned for Season 5, so hopefully we’ll get to see Burnham and Booker reunite and further heal those wounds following his betrayal of the Federation.
Stream Star Trek: Discovery Seasons 1 through 4 right now on Paramount+ (opens in new tab). Now is as good of a time as any to catch up on this phenomenal series, especially with all the fun of Star Trek Day going on.
Mick likes good television, but also reality television. He grew up on Star Wars, DC, Marvel, and pro wrestling and loves to discuss and dissect most of it. He’s been writing online for over a decade and never dreamed he’d be in the position he is today.

Barack Obama and Michelle ‘grateful to have witnessed’ Queen’s reign
Former president gave stirring speech to Parliament in 2011
Barack Obama and his wife Michelle released a statement paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, reflecting that he was “grateful” to have witnessed the reign of one of the world’s longest-serving monarchs.
The former first couple put out a statement mid-afternoon on Thursday, shortly after Buckingham Palace announced the news.
“Like so many of you, Michelle and I are grateful to have witnessed Her Majesty’s dedicated leadership, and we are awed by her legacy of tireless, dignified public service,” said the former president.
“Michelle and I were lucky enough to come to know Her Majesty, and she meant a great deal to us,” he went on, adding that “she welcomed us to the world stage with open arms and extraordinary generosity”.
Mr Obama visited the UK in 2011 for a state visit and became the most recent president in memory to deliver a speech to the British Parliament at Westminster Abbey.
He celebrated the monarch earlier this year, upon her birthday, thanking her for the warmth that she displayed at that meeting.
"We weren't sure what to expect on our first trip to Buckingham. But we shouldn't have been worried. Her Majesty put us at ease with her grace and generosity. So much so that I walked away thinking she actually reminded me a little bit of my grandmother,” Mr Obama said at the time.
The Queen died on Thursday, surrounded by family, at Balmoral, her estate in the Scottish Highlands. She was 96 years old.
During her tenure as Britain’s longest-serving monarch, she met with more than a dozen US presidents including Mr Obama’s two successors.

A PLANNED strike by Royal Mail workers on Friday has been called off following the Queen’s death.
Members of the Communication Workers Union were due to continue a 48-hour walkout in a dispute over pay and conditions.
General secretary Dave Ward said: “Following the very sad news of the passing of the Queen and out of respect for her service to the country and her family, the union has decided to call off tomorrow’s planned strike action.”
Buckingham Palace announced the death of Queen Elizabeth around 6:30pm this evening.

In a statement, the Palace said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
Elizabeth II, 96, was the nation’s longest-reigning monarch, serving as head of state for more than 70 years.
The Prince of Wales is now King, having acceded to the throne immediately on the death of his mother.

Patience is something that many of us struggle with. I know that I am certainly one who has a hard time dealing with delays. After all, we live in a world of instant gratification and overnight shipping. We can have anything that we want delivered to our doorstep right away. We can pick from a variety of entertainment options at any given moment. As a result, being patient has become increasingly difficult for most of us, and understandably so.
The truth of the matter is, however, that anything good rarely happens quickly. It usually takes a lot of work and a long wait. You have to know that going in and work on your inner resolve to wait it out. This applies to a number of things: launching a business, waiting to go to an event, or striving to achieve your personal goals and milestones.
Here are a few tips that you can leverage to help you increase your patience:
- Make yourself wait on things. This can include eating, purchasing items, or taking any sort of action. Work to overcome whatever makes you anxious and force yourself to wait. It will help you to increase your current patience levels and become less anxious moving forward. Try it.
- Avoid instant gratification. Take a pause before indulging in anything- like a dessert or other indulgances. Instant gratification is actually bad for us in so many ways.
- Look for triggers. Assess what tries your patience and employ self-talk to get you through. You might even come up with a mantra to this end like “I can wait” or “Waiting is good for me.” Get creative with yours.
- Teach yourself to look on the bright side of delays. Sometimes that pause actually has a silver lining. Perhaps you’ll meet a lot of wonderful people while waiting in line, or the timing of when something does unfold is actually better in the future. Learn to look for that bright side regularly, and you’ll start to become aware of the importance of having things happen when the time is right.
- Understand that life is full of zigzags and delays (and that’s okay- and even to be expected). There is no one straight path to happiness or success. If there were, we would all take it. Ups and downs are what build character, and often, the longer we wait, the more we enjoy it. So wait it out with the best of them.
Growing your patience can be challenging, but if you start to incorporate these tips into your life, you’ll find yourself happily waiting in no time at all!

World leaders paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday at the age of 96.
President Joe Biden said the queen defined an era.
"In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her," Biden said.
Biden noted that Queen Elizabeth II met 14 American presidents.
"Queen Elizabeth II was a stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock Alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States," he said. "She helped make our relationship special."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau echoed that sentiment.
"She was a constant presence in our lives – and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history," he said.
French President Emmanuel Macron praised the queen for embodying unity for over 70 years.
"I remember her as a friend of France, a kind-hearted queen who has left a lasting impression on her country and her century," he said.

Milley: Russian strategic objectives in Ukraine ‘have been defeated’
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley on Thursday said Russia’s strategic objectives in its attack on Ukraine have “been defeated.”
“The war is not over, but so far, the Russian strategic objectives have been defeated,” Milley said at a news conference alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
“Despite being outgunned and outmanned, the Ukrainians have demonstrated superior tactical proficiency and they’ve demonstrated a superior will to fight, fight for their own country, fight for their freedom,” Milley added.
Russia in April began an offensive in the eastern-most part of Ukraine known as the Donbas after failing to take the capital of Kyiv early in the invasion.
Milley, who allowed that Moscow has achieved “minor tactical success in various parts of eastern Ukraine,” attributed the falters in the Kremlin’s offensive to unsuccessful operational objectives and “a very successful defense conducted by Ukraine.”
“They have not achieved all of the Donbas, and they have only crossed the Dnipro River in the south in the vicinity of Kherson,” he said of Russian forces.
The Ukrainian military, meanwhile, launched its own offensive to push back Kremlin troops around Sept. 1.
Milley said it’s too early to fully assess that offensive near Kherson, but noted Ukraine “is effectively using their fires to shape the ground maneuver,” and has had “steady” and “deliberate” progress in the fight.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, meanwhile, was in Kyiv for an unannounced visit on Thursday, said as he departed the country that the Ukrainian counteroffensive was “proving effective.”
“Again, it’s very early, but we’re seeing clear and real progress on the ground, particularly in the area around Kherson, but also some interesting developments in the Donbass, in the east, but again, early days,” he said, as reported by CNN.

Jordan reported Thursday its first case of monkeypox in a man who traveled to several European countries and returned to Jordan in August.
"Symptoms began to appear on the patient on August 25, with a rise in temperature, sore throat, muscle pain and swollen lymph nodes," according to the Health Ministry.
It confirmed that the patient is "in good health, and on the track of full recovery where he is being quarantined in his residence."
Globally, more than 28,100 cases of monkeypox and 12 deaths have been recorded, prompting the World Health Organization to declare it a "global health emergency."
Monkeypox is a virus that causes disease with similar but less severe symptoms to smallpox, including fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes.

The Michigan State men’s basketball team has released the long-awaited 2022-2023 season schedule in full today. MSU will face 11 non-conference opponents, with five of those matchups being played at the Breslin Center. The 20-game conference schedule will feature 10 home games and 10 away games with seven opponents being played in both home and away settings.
The 2022-23 Schedule ⚪️ pic.twitter.com/dtHh2yk67t
— Michigan State Men's Basketball (@MSU_Basketball) September 8, 2022
Among the top conference games is a visit from Michigan scheduled for Jan. 7. Mysteriously, that matchup is set for the weekend before students return to campus. A brutal stretch follows that game with trips to Wisconsin and Illinois followed by visits from Purdue at Rutgers.
The tough stretch continues with a trip to Indiana and Purdue with a visit by Iowa in between. A game against Rutgers is next up, but curiously it is listed as “versus” rather than “at” on the Big Ten’s schedule release with the location “to be determined.” According to rumors reported by On The Banks, the venue will be Madison Square Garden for this one.
The schedule eases up a little bit from there, but still has plenty of tough games down the final stretch. A visit to Michigan comes on Feb. 18 and Ohio State will close out the regular season in East Lansing on March 4. You can find the full schedule, including the non-conference, below.
2022-2023 Men’s Basketball Season Schedule
Michigan State’s season opener will welcome the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks to East Lansing on Monday, Nov. 7. The matchup will mark the first time the Spartans will face off against the Big Sky team from Flagstaff, Arizona. However, NAU did hire former MSU grad assistant Chris Fowler as an assistant coach back in July 2020 where he remained on staff until joining new Western Michigan head coach Dwayne Stephens’ staff ahead of the 2022-2023 season.
Following the season opener, Michigan State will head out west to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Friday, Nov. 11. The Veterans Day matchup was previously announced and is scheduled to be played on the deck of the Nimitz-Class U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), which will be docked alongside its pier in San Diego Bay.
Another neutral court matchup will follow the game in San Diego with Michigan State facing off against the Kentucky Wildcats in Indianapolis in the annual Champions Classic. The event at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Nov. 15 will see MSU-UK take the court first, and will be followed by Duke versus Kansas in the second game of the night.
In a rare occurrence for the Spartans, back-to-back matchups against the same mascot will occur this season. That is because the Villanova Wildcats will visit East Lansing on Nov. 18 as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games. Villanova is 3-1 against Michigan State all-time, but the programs have not played one another since Nov. 29, 2002.
It is then back to the road after that for MSU, as the Spartans head out west to Portland, Oregon, to participate in the Phil Knight Invitational (PK85). The bracket was released in late July and Michigan State will open the PK85 tournament against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Nov. 24. MSU will face either the UConn Huskies or Oregon Ducks in the second game on Nov. 25. A third game will wrap up the PK85 for Michigan State against a to-be-determined opponent on Nov. 27. Villanova is also in the field, so MSU could see VU twice.
The only true road game of the non-conference schedule follows the PK85 tournament. The Spartans will head to South Bend as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge for a matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Nov. 30. The trip will mark the first visit to South Bend by Michigan State since a 79-78 overtime loss by the Spartans in 2014 that was also part of the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Michigan State closes out the non-conference season with three home matchups. The first comes against the Brown Bears on Dec. 10. The matchup will mark just the second time the two programs have played one another, with Michigan State holding the 1-0 edge in the series thanks to a 45-34 victory in East Lansing on Nov. 8, 2006. Current MSU assistant coach Doug Wojcik’s son, Paxton Wojcik, is a senior guard on the Brown team.
The annual intrastate clash against the Oakland Grizzlies will be played at the Breslin Center on Dec. 21 with a unique twist this season. Former Michigan State guard Rocket Watts will be on the Oakland roster facing off against his former team. The non-conference will wrap up with a visit by the Buffalo Bulls on Dec. 30.
The men’s basketball team will also be joining the women’s team in welcoming fans back for “Michigan State Madness.” The event used to be held annually, but hasn’t occurred since 2019 as a result of COVID-19.

‘A stalwart’: World mourns Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II
LONDON (AP) — Condolences poured in from around the world Thursday after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, whose rule saw Britain through decades of change.
Elizabeth had been on the throne since 1952, when the nation was still rebuilding from the destruction of World War II, and became a global icon of calmness and fortitude through years of political upheaval and social changes at home and abroad.
“She lived history, she made history. And with her passing, she leaves a magnificent, inspirational legacy,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said.
In India, once a British colony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called her “a stalwart of our times.”
“She personified dignity and decency in public life,” Modi tweeted.
Flags were ordered flown at half-staff from Washington to Ghana.
President Joe Biden was informed of her death by senior advisers during a meeting in the Oval Office.
Elizabeth, who the White House said had met with 14 American presidents, “was a stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States,” he and first lady Jill Biden said in a statement, saying she “she defined an era.”
She was mourned across the 54-nation Commonwealth, a group built around Britain and its former colonies.
“For most Canadians, we have known no other sovereign,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement. He called her “a constant presence in our lives — and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history.”
Elizabeth, who is Canada’s head of state, visited the country 22 times as monarch. Trudeau first met her as a child when his father, the late Pierre Trudeau, was prime minister.
The queen’s death comes as a growing number of British territories in the Caribbean seek to replace the monarch with their own heads of state amid demands that Britain apologize for its colonial-era abuses and award its former colonies slavery reparations.
Still, Caribbean leaders from Bermuda to Dominica and beyond mourned her death.
“Her passing ends an iconic 70-year reign and is a profound loss for the commonwealth of nations and the world,” tweeted Roosevelt Skerrit, Dominica’s prime minister.
Minutes later, Bermuda Premier David Burt noted that her reign “has spanned decades of such immense change for the United Kingdom and the world.”
Tributes also came from celebrities. Elton John said in a tweet that she was “an inspiring presence to be around, and lead the country through some of our greatest, and darkest, moments.”
There was even praise from the fictional Paddington Bear, the beloved British children’s book character. The bear shared tea with the queen in a video shown in June during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“Thank you Ma’am, for everything,” said a statement on the Paddington Bear Twitter feed.
Elizabeth died Thursday afternoon at age 96 at Balmoral Castle, her summer residence in Scotland, where members of the royal family had rushed to after her health worsened.

Trump and Biden Both Released Statements on Queen Elizabeth's Death, But There's a Shocking Difference
In response to Queen Elizabeth II’s death on Thursday, both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump released statements over the news.
While both statements mourned the death of the British monarch, there was one major difference between them.
Unlike Trump, in his own statement on the Queen’s passing, President Biden failed to mention God once.
Biden’s statement, released via the White House, walked through the Queen’s history, detailing her character, how she “defined an era” and how Elizabeth helped develop strong relations between the United Kingdom and the United States.
“Queen Elizabeth II was a stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock Alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States. She helped make our relationship special,” the statement said.
“In the years ahead, we look forward to continuing a close friendship with The King and The Queen Consort. Today, the thoughts and prayers of people all across the United States are with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in their grief.”
“We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, who are not only mourning their Queen, but their dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history and in the story of our world.”
Queen Elizabeth II often spoke openly about her Christian faith throughout her reign, as reported by Christianity Today.
Despite this and despite being a self-described Catholic, Biden never mentioned God or the afterlife in his official statement on her death.
Trump, on the other hand, did.
In a series of messages posted to his Truth Social account, Trump offered his thoughts and condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom.
“Melania and I are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Together with our family and fellow Americans, we send our sincere condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom during this time of great sorrow and grief. Queen Elizabeth’s historic and remarkable reign left a tremendous legacy of peace and prosperity for Great Britain,” Trump wrote.
“Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the great people of the United Kingdom as you honor her most meaningful life and exceptional service to the people.”
“May God bless the Queen, may she reign forever in our hearts, and may God hold her and Prince Philip in abiding care.”
Much like Biden, Trump also detailed his personal relationship with the Queen.
“Melania and I will always cherish our time together with the Queen, and never forget Her Majesty’s generous friendship, great wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor,” the former president wrote.
“What a grand and beautiful lady she was—there was nobody like her!”

Michelle Zauner, Gayl Jones receive American Book Awards
NEW YORK (AP) — “Crying In H Mart” memoirist Michelle Zauner, novelist Gayl Jones and author-journalist Francisco Goldman are among the winners of the 43rd annual American Book Awards, presented by Ishmael Reed’s Before Columbus Foundation.
The awards, which Reed helped found in 1979, honor “outstanding literary achievement from the entire spectrum of America’s diverse literary community.” Reed, an author, poet and playwright, is a longtime champion of multiculturalism.
Zauner’s memoir, a word-of-mouth bestseller in 2021-2022, was cited by the Foundation, along with Goldman’s novel “Monkey Boy” and Zakiya Dalila Harris’ The Other Black Girl: A Novel,” a fictionalized take on the publishing industry. The Foundation also awarded Spencer Ackerman’s “Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump,” Emma Brodie’s novel “Songs in Ursa Major,” Daphne A. Brooks’ “Liner Notes for the Revolution: The Intellectual Life of Black Feminist Sound” and Truong Tran’s blend of poetry and prose “Book of the Other: Small in Comparison.”
Jones, known for such novels as “Corregidora” and “Eva’s Man,” was honored for lifetime achievement. Editor Jeffrey St. Clair of Counterpunch, a self-described “independent left-leaning” publication for which Reed is a contributor, was given an Anti-Censorship Award.

Questions You Must Ask While Going For Epoxy Flake Flooring Project
The epoxy flake flooring Melbourne is a great way to add some extra glamour to your home. It can be used in any room, especially if that room is high traffic. The installation of the flooring depends on where you are installing it.
For example, in the kitchen or bathroom you would need to be very careful with the installation process because of how water can damage the flooring. If you get an epoxy flake floor installed by someone who knows what they are doing then it shouldn’t take longer than two days for them to complete their work and clean up after themselves once everything is complete.
What is the estimated cost of installing an epoxy flake floor?
The cost of the material for epoxy flake flooring Melbourne is about $4-$10 per square foot. Labour costs can vary widely depending on your location, but on average it’s about $15-$25 per square foot.
Installation is usually priced at $1-$2 per square foot depending on the complexity and if you need to hire an installer or do it yourself (DIY). Removal costs are also variable depending on your situation, but they tend to be around $1-$3 per square foot again based on our research.
Disposal fees are often included in these rates as well as disposal fees when applicable which typically range from around $15-30 per cubic yard at local landfills or drop-off centres near you!
What is the process of installing the flooring?
The first step of installing an epoxy floor is to prepare the surface. This involves evaluating the condition of your existing floor, determining if you need any repairs made, and cleaning the area. After that, you can move on to laying down your epoxy flakes. The last step is finishing off with a clear coat protective layer once your flakes have cured for several days.
How long do they take to install?
The time it takes to instal a floor depends on whether you are doing the work yourself or hiring a epoxy flake flooring Melbourne contractor.
A professional can typically complete an entire room in one day, but if you are doing it yourself, you can expect it to take around three days. Some companies offer one-day installation, and others offer two-day installation, but the majority of epoxy flake products take three days for installation.
While there is nothing wrong with having your floor professionally installed, if you want more control over how long it takes and what happens during that time period then DIY might be for you!
Conclusion
I hope this has answered your question about epoxy flake flooring. If you have any questions about the process or other flooring types, please contact experts today for further help.

NEW YORK (AP) — “Crying In H Mart” memoirist Michelle Zauner, novelist Gayl Jones and author-journalist Francisco Goldman are among the winners of the 43rd annual American Book Awards, presented by Ishmael Reed's Before Columbus Foundation.
The awards, which Reed helped found in 1979, honor “outstanding literary achievement from the entire spectrum of America’s diverse literary community.” Reed, an author, poet and playwright, is a longtime champion of multiculturalism.
Zauner's memoir, a word-of-mouth bestseller in 2021-2022, was cited by the Foundation, along with Goldman's novel “Monkey Boy” and Zakiya Dalila Harris' The Other Black Girl: A Novel," a fictionalized take on the publishing industry. The Foundation also awarded Spencer Ackerman's “Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump,” Emma Brodie's novel “Songs in Ursa Major,” Daphne A. Brooks' “Liner Notes for the Revolution: The Intellectual Life of Black Feminist Sound” and Truong Tran's blend of poetry and prose “Book of the Other: Small in Comparison.”
Jones, known for such novels as “Corregidora" and “Eva's Man," was honored for lifetime achievement. Editor Jeffrey St. Clair of Counterpunch, a self-described "independent left-leaning" publication for which Reed is a contributor, was given an Anti-Censorship Award.

Much like you, Santigold spent the pandemic stuck at home, fearful of an invisible threat that loomed just outside her door, the world burning around her, quite literally. California was ablaze with wildfires, Black Lives Matter protests erupted in response to constant headlines featuring Black people dying and Santigold was in the middle of it all taking care of her three children at home, feeling the artist side of her diminishing as the banality of domestic routine took over.
With no end in sight, Santigold found comfort in negro spirituals — songs used by the slave population as a way to persevere and find existential freedom in the face of hardship. Santigold drew inspiration from the concept as a way to make sense of chaos. Having grappled with a total writer's block just before the pandemic hit, suddenly Santigold found lyrics pouring out of her faster than before. Instead of wallowing in the miserable present, she imagined a beautiful future to strive towards that was as much for her as it was for anyone else that needed it.
The resulting album, Spirituals, is a collection of roaring anthems, mournful elegies, bubbly pop and folk stomps that finds feelings of joy and resilience amongst overwhelming grief and despair. From the island breeze swirling through the emotional spiral of opener "My Horror" to the screaming guitars and defiant confidence of "High Priestess," Santigold takes us through the highs and lows of her pandemic struggle.
Featuring contributions from frequent collaborators such as Rostam, Boys Noize and Illangelo, as well as a few new faces like SBTRKT and Lido, Spirituals runs the gambit from haunting industrial beats to warm indie blitzes, sprinkled with crystalline synths and vibrant vocal flourishes. After nearly a decade and a half spent honing her pop sensibilities, Santigold's voice and distinct point of view emerge as the common denominator that makes the album feel cohesive overall.
Never one to be satisfied with confining her creative vision, the world of Spirituals extends outward into a full-on multi-sensory experience: music and video vignettes, visual art, a line of natural body care products and teas, a new podcast interviewing other artists and luminaries, as well as a bunch of other yet to be announced endeavors.
At its crux, Spirituals is about what it takes to survive in an unforgiving world. Digging through a mountain of collective trauma to unearth some form of relief, Santigold finds solace and release through shared strife. Forged in the fires of the pandemic, Spirituals is Santigold's best stab at some semblance of catharsis — a soothing balm when it needs to be, a shoulder to cry on, a hand reaching out to pick you back up, a hammer to break shit and a bullhorn to amplify your primal screams.
Before the release of Spirituals, out September 9, PAPER caught up with Santigold to dive into making her latest album and what she ultimately hopes people can take away from it.
How did the new album start and end up coming together?
It started with me saying, "Hey, I think I’ll make a new album!" This was back in 2019, looking over some of the stuff I’ve been working on with various people over the last year or so and thinking about which things might go together. I sat down and started trying to write some songs and I had nothing to say. I was like, "Huh, I don’t know. Maybe I just don’t have anything to say!"
Then all of a sudden the pandemic hit and we’re on lockdown, and I was stuck in my house with my just-turned two-year-old twins and my six-year-old at the time, and no help from my husband. All of a sudden I was just cooking and cleaning and wiping butts and hiding from this disease that we didn’t know what it was and what it was going to do. Then California was on fire and Black people were getting killed every second and there were protests. I just somehow found myself sat with those songs, and everything just poured out so fast. That’s how I got my record!
What was the recording process along the way for you? What sort of ideas and things were you tackling?
I actually recorded by myself in a room but with an engineer recording me using all my equipment from afar. It was just a testament to technology that it was able to happen where I could have my engineer recording me from my studio without being physically with me during lockdown, which I thought was cool!
When it got into finishing the songs and finishing the production, by that time, my family had gone off to Canada. We were in this place called Squamish, which is in between Vancouver and Whistler, I had rented a cabin in the woods and sent all my music equipment out. I was actually working with a bunch of producers all over the world virtually.
Yeah, it’s quite the lineup of producers looking through the credits! How did all of those come into play? Was that just calling up old friends or were there new faces in the mix?
Like I said, right before I started, I had done some writing sessions in 2019 right before the pandemic. It wasn’t even for my album necessarily, but I just got in with some new producers. I met SBTRKT for the first time probably a month before the pandemic really hit. We actually got together for some stuff on his album but I ended up with some stuff for my album instead.
I met P2J, who I did “No Paradise” with, and I had never met him before. Dre Skull, I had done that whole mixtape album with him before. Boys Noize I’d known for years. Rostam I’d worked with for years. Ricky Blaze I worked with, who did “Disparate Youth” with. Lido was another person that was new that I had just gone in with and ended up using a song. JakeOne I had never met before.
So that was cool to have new people and it’s always great to find new people that you work really well with because I tend to keep people around — like I said, Rostam or Boys Noize, or Doc [McKinney] of course. Doc I’ve been writing with since 2001. Illangelo, I had actually met through Doc. It’s a mixture of people I’ve worked with for years and years and a bunch of new people I’d never worked with before.
Thematically for the album, obviously in the title is “Spirituals.” What were some of the ideas you were playing with?
The title of the album I got from the idea of negro spirituals and what they did. The purpose of negro spirituals is that they allowed slaves to experience feelings of freedom and joy when they weren’t actually free and they weren’t in joyous circumstances. They were songs that let them transcend their environment and circumstances. That’s what these songs did for me. They are in no way traditional negro spirituals at all, but the purpose of the songs — they allowed me to transcend my circumstances and my environment to feel ascension, forward movement and to create beauty and light and joy to move towards in a time that did not feel beautiful, light, and joyous.
I love the parallels between that! Was there any moment along the way that stood out to you as a catalyzing point or that stood out to you along the way?
I think this record in particular, we were in a time in the world where I didn’t have any expectations. I didn’t know what was going on. Day to day, there was some crazy new shit going on. I was just doing what I could to get through it. Every step of the way was unexpected. The creation of this record was just a little bit about flow. That’s what “Shake” is about — just moving! Letting your feelings flow, the emotions flow so you can continue on and go with whatever comes. That’s what I learned during the process of this record — just letting my creativity carry me through.
What do you hope people take away from the album?
There are so many things in this record that people can take away from it. Connecting inward through times that are challenging and find a higher connection or a higher force and really help that to pull you forward. The idea that we all have that in ourselves. The idea of us being responsible for the world we create like “Ushers of the New World.” We need to be present in our connection to each other and the earth and live in a harmonious way. The idea of human resilience and our continual strength and power to rise above our circumstances. I have a lyric in “No Paradise” — “there’s power in our struggle.” The idea of nothing — what it’s like to be a Black person or a woman and to feel unseen and to be told that we don’t matter and to feel invisible. There’s a lot of important themes in this music that I’d like people to think about and feel empowered to explore.
Outside of your new album, you have a lot going on. You’re working on a natural skincare line and tea!
I really was thinking about how people can experience the music and themes that I’m talking about, since I was talking about spirits and emotions, if I could touch on them from a multisensory standpoint. if you could not only listen to the songs but also touch something and watch something and taste something and smell something. That all speaks on the same themes and experiences and affects your spirit in the same way.
For instance, one of the things I was thinking about was survival and being in survival mode. Black people are pretty much always in survival mode in this country. Part of that is generational trauma and stuff that we’re carrying from our ancestors' experiences. How can we begin to free ourselves of the things we’re carrying that aren’t really ours to carry?
I’ve always been into oils and herbs and teas, so I know that black spruce is an ingredient that deals with your roots and generational trauma and helps clear that energy. So I was like, “let me make a body spray with black spruce” for example! Or “let me make a tea that helps deal with clearing your heart or stop having all this stuff Black women carry in our chests.” That’s really the inspiration for the idea. It’s not really a skincare line. It’s more like small batch body products that I made to go with the album.
And tea! I love tea so much. I tried to make a collection of tea that was really unusual, and relevant to themes, but really special teas that you wouldn’t always have.
Fitting in with the themes of the record, there’s a nice ritual aspect to tea.
Exactly! And whether it’s a ritual like a tea ceremony or you could have a bath with bath salts with tea and listen to a song. It’s just coming at you from so many different angles.
How are you going about translating the record into the live show and putting it into the physical space?
In general, I like to come up with a show that really takes a song and turns them into a physical experience. It’s not just me singing the songs. I take you into a whole different world. I usually try to come up with visuals and dance and costumes that make you feel like you’re just coming into a whole new experience of the music.
I remember for 99¢, it was very much about consumption and commodification of everything. I had the dancers come out and sit in a blow up chair and eat cheap foods and drink Slurpees for the first ten minutes as their choreography. It’s just fun to get to play with the themes and ideas in a different way that has nothing to do with music, but you can really create in a whole different way when you’re doing a live show, so I’m always looking forward to that!Photos courtesy of Frank Ockenfels

When the Liberal Party’s most senior right-wing figure, Peter Dutton, forced a leadership spill in 2018, ending Malcolm Turnbull’s premiership, even some moderates in the party room preferred him over the hyper-ambitious Scott Morrison. Yet it was to the latter they reluctantly turned, judging him less frightening to voters.
That calculation paid off handsomely with Morrison’s almost lone-hand “miracle” win in the 2019 general election.
Four years later though, after the religious and secretive Morrison had steered the party into its current trench, Liberals unanimously decided there was no viable alternative to Dutton as leader after all.
Many on the Labor side were delighted, viewing Dutton as essentially unelectable, citing his bullish fear-mongering over African gangs, Chinese drums of war, and asylum-seekers.
The decision to install, unopposed, a largely unpopular right-wing leader after Australian voters had just shifted to the left and towards female candidates, speaks to an entirely different calculation being made by Liberals about their leadership in 2022.
Read more: Did Australia just make a move to the left?
Where Morrison had been considered more sellable, by 2022, Dutton’s image problem with young people, cosmopolitans, and particularly with women, hardly mattered.
It was not his ability to win seats three years hence that was paramount in their minds, but the Queenslander’s bona fides as a native conservative speaker capable of holding the centre-right parties together after their electoral drubbing.
Put simply, the fact that Dutton is from Queensland, is well-liked internally, and moreover is trusted, meant he offered the best chance of steadying a party banished from office and adrift from its core values of small government and fiscal restraint.
It is against this largely existential metric in the early months of an ascendant Labor government that Dutton’s preferment is best understood.
Of course, from Dutton’s point of view, he wants to do both – hold his beleaguered show together and then win back voters by putting Labor under such extreme pressure that he might ultimately become prime minister.
Right now though, these objectives are pulling him (and them) in different directions.
Published opinion polls such as Resolve Monitor and Newspoll suggest voters saw little in Dutton’s ascension to reassure them that the former government imbibed their stern message through the ballot box.
Read more: Labor extends big lead in Newspoll, but Morgan is much better for Coalition
Yet Dutton remains unchallenged in his leadership and committed to his course. So far, there has been no moderate repositioning.
Despite a key take-out from the election being the defeat of several prominent Liberal men in “safe seats” at the hands of strong female independent candidates, it was left to Dutton’s deputy leader Sussan Ley to acknowledge the Liberal Party’s need to do better on women’s issues.
Neither was there any acceptance that the Coalition’s decade-long assault on climate science had been a political and policy disaster, damaging Australia’s reputation and driving voters across the country towards pro-climate action candidates.
True to his image, Dutton offered no real contrition or apology, no reflection on the electorate’s judgement, and no white flag.
The reason for this bullish stance, underlined by refusing to support the 43% 2030 target in legislation? In two words, Coalition unity.
Presumably, Dutton knows that retreating on climate would weaken a distinct electoral advantage now enjoyed by Labor, while also helping to soften his “hard man” image into the bargain.
Yet the fear is that certain Nationals and even some hard-line Liberals, would rebel and perhaps even break away if the Coalition parties were to go green. Defections to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, and from the Liberals to the Nationals, are thought possible.
As one party insider and Dutton admirer told me, “Peter can’t guarantee a win at the next election from here but he can pretty much lock in a loss if the centre-right fractures or goes to war with itself”.
Yet Dutton faces a critical dilemma. Self-evidently, playing hard-ball to hold his forces together in defeat takes him further away from the disaffected Liberal voters he needs to win back to be competitive.
Boycotting the recent jobs and skills or “union” summit as he dubbed it, while decrying attendees as union “thugs”, seems straight out of the high-impact/maximum aggression playbook used by Tony Abbott.
Does Dutton seriously hold the view that this tactic can work again in the greener and more feminised politics of the 2020s – especially against a unified Labor government?
For him, reaching the requisite 76 seats in the 151-seat House of Representatives without retaking some or all of the previously “safe” electorates lost to so-called “teal” independents in 2022 is a mammoth task. It could even see further metropolitan losses to highly credentialed independents.
And yet retaking these electorates without a decisive step to the middle-ground on key issues such as climate, women’s representation, corruption/parliamentary integrity, and the Uluru agenda, seems equally unlikely.
However, according to one school of thought, Dutton has made all the right calls.
On emissions, former minister and fellow Queensland senator, George Brandis, has argued Dutton should ignore current public opinion, and presumably the national interest (or even what is right) and hope that soaring energy and living costs remain sufficiently salient at the next election to drive voters back to the Coalition. Again, this is right out of the Abbott playbook.
This might play well in the base but risks further shredding the Liberal Party’s standing in middle Australia – especially as younger voters enter the electoral roll. Is it worth the reputational damage?
It is well known in Australian politics that opposition leaders appointed in the wake of removal from office almost never become prime minister. Some don’t even get the chance to contest an election.
The last example federally was in the 1910s.
This is hardly surprising when you consider that the most recent single-term government federally was Labor’s James Scullin 1929-32. Thirty-two, by the way, was also the unemployment rate, whereas currently it is closer to 3%.
Strategically, Dutton is right to prioritise his own survival, given that opposition leaders are more vulnerable to their own party rooms than they are to voters.
But he must also lead in a way that provides his colleagues with a realistic belief that government is attainable. This is where greater electoral sensitivity might be useful.
While new governments are invariably re-elected, what is less appreciated is that they also tend to lose seats at their first return to the ballot box. Think Bob Hawke in 1984, John Howard in 1998, Kevin Rudd/Julia Gillard in 2010 and Tony Abbott/Malcolm Turnbull in 2016.
Anthony Albanese’s two-seat majority would be easily obliterated by the seat losses sustained by each of these prime ministers facing their first elections as incumbents.
So the question for Dutton is, does aggressive partisanship on climate, women, and the other issues, really offer the best hope for regaining Australia’s centre-ground in 2025?
An alternative course would be to use his conservative credibility with his colleagues to affect a modernisation along similar lines to those of the broader population.
Call it the difference between being a leader or merely a cheerleader.

SHREVEPORT, La., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneurial Accelerator Program (EAP) portfolio company Oleolive, Inc. has been awarded a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 $400,000 research grant from the National Cancer Institute for "Chemosensitization of Glioblastoma by Propentofylline." Drs. Nhan Tran and Joseph Loftus, investigators at Mayo Clinic and experts in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), collaborated with Oleolive on the proposal.
Propentofylline (PPF) was originally tested in multiple clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease but, although shown to be safe and effective, was not brought to the commercial market. PPF is considered a repurposed drug, defined as a drug developed for one indication and repositioned to treat another, in this case GBM. Repurposed drugs require less money and time for development and overall costs much less compared to research and development of new drugs.
GBM is a brain cancer with no effective therapeutics that claims the lives of over 15,000 Americans each year. GBM has poor clinical outcomes due to therapy-resistant tumor cells leading to recurrence; therefore, therapeutic strategies that enhance tumor cell chemosensitivity are essential for improved patient outcomes. This project will evaluate if PPF increases sensitization of GBM tumor cells to chemotherapy. This research could lead to a therapeutic strategy to extend survival for GBM patients beyond the current average of 1.25 years.
Oleolive, Inc. is a preclinical private biotechnology company founded in 2017, located in Shreveport, Louisiana. The company is developing therapeutics to treat a variety of human indications, including brain cancer, Alzheimer's disease, fibrosis, and traumatic blood loss in austere environments. The company has received more than $5M in STTRs and small business innovation research (SBIR) grant awards from multiple funding sources including the National Institute on Aging, the National Cancer Institute, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the Department of Defense.

Match Report | Manchester United 3-1 Arsenal | Premier League
Read our match report of Manchester United's win against Arsenal on Sunday
Manchester United continued their red hot form in the Premier League as they brushed aside Arsenal 3-1 on Sunday.
United welcomed the Gunners to Old Trafford who had won all four of their league games and were sitting atop the Premier League table, while the hosts were on a three match winning run having defeated Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester in the previous games.
A win against the North London side would have seen the Mancunian side move to only three points off the first place, which is exactly what happened on Sunday afternoon.
United's new signing Antony made his debut for the Red Devils against Arsenal, and he couldn't have asked for a more dream debut than the one he had.
The Brazilian winger gave the hosts the lead in the 35th minute after he curled one past and over Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale. His strike was the difference between the two sides in the first half.
The visitors started strongly in the second half, which ultimately ended in Bukayo Saka burying the ball in the back of United's net to make it 1-1 around the hour mark.
But things did not stay level for a long time as United again took the lead in the 66th minute.
Bruno Fernandes cut open the opponents' defence with a peach of a pass with the outside of his foot which Rashford latched onto before dispatching the ball into the back of the net to make it 2-1.
And it was Rashford again who scored United's third and final goal of the day as a result of a quick counter-attack from the Red Devils to make it 3-1 in favour of the Red Devils in the 75th minute.

AUSTIN, Texas — As people from around the world mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away Thursday at the age of 96, many in Texas are remembering her trip to Texas from more than 30 years ago.
In May 1991, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch became the first to come to the Lone Star State. Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, took a 13-day trip through the United States that included three days in Texas. They visited San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston.
While in Austin, the queen took some time to speak to the crowd. During that speech, she gave some comments and praise for the pride that she sees in Texans.
"No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty," Queen Elizabeth II said. "Lesser mortals are pitied for the misfortune in not being born Texan."
During her trip to Dallas, the queen stayed at the Adolphus Hotel. During her stay, the queen's itinerary included:
- Dallas Love Field (1:30 p.m.)
- Meyerson Symphony Center concert (4:00 p.m.)
- Garden Center reception (6:15 p.m.)
- Dinner at Hall of State (7:00 p.m.)
- Leave Dallas Love Field (8:30 p.m.)
The royal couple was welcomed to the airport by meeting Dallas Mayor Annette Strauss and Mayor Kay Granger of Fort Worth. While at the Meyerson, the Dallas Wind Symphony performed "God Save the Queen" and "The Star Spangled Banner."
As Princess Elizabeth, she made her first public broadcast in 1940 when she was 14, sending a wartime message to children evacuated to the countryside or overseas.
In February 1952, George VI died in his sleep at age 56 after years of ill health. Elizabeth, on a visit to Kenya, was told that she was now queen.

By BETHANY BLANKLEY
THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR
(The Center Square) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has pledged to use half of the state’s projected $27 billion surplus to reduce property taxes.
Gov. Abbott made the pledge after conservatives called for the historic surplus to be used to provide property tax relief.
“Texas is sitting on a record budget surplus of $27 billion…,” Gov. Abbott tweeted. “Because this is your money, I want to return at least HALF of that money to you with the largest property tax cut ever in the history of Texas.”
“If this happens, it’d make for the largest property tax cut in Texas history,” the Texas Public Policy Foundation reports. “The news is sure to be welcomed by struggling taxpayers. Homeowners and businesses today are battling sky-high inflation, soaring property values and greedy governments, with little sign of relief outside of the governor’s announcement.”
Jonathan Stickland, founder of the Defend Texas Liberty PAC, said of Gov. Abbott’s pledge, “It’s encouraging to see our governor not only identify this problem, but be responsive to the voters and come out with this position so swiftly following our poll. Listening to grassroots voters and campaigning on real and meaningful property tax relief is exactly the right strategy for Greg Abbott to unite the Republican Party and ensure Texas stays red this November.”
According to a new poll conducted by the PAC, 66% of newly registered voters favor using the majority of the surplus to cut property taxes. Among them, 78% were Republicans, 65% independents and 44% Democrats.
Texans for Fiscal Responsibility has called on the governor and state legislature to return the entire surplus to taxpayers.
TPPF argues it’s “right to return to taxpayers as much of Texas’ $27 billion surplus as possible. After all, these excess revenues came from the pockets of hardworking Texans, many of whom are treading water now, and the alternative is to use these funds to grow government, something that would only exacerbate the problems of today.”
The surplus has contributed an historic amount to the state’s Rainy Day Fund, which is expected to reach $13.6 billion by the end of fiscal year 2023 according to the state comptroller’s office.
Former Democratic Congressman Robert “Beto” O’Rourke argues one way to reduce property taxes is to increase taxes on “wealthy corporations.” He also claims on his campaign website, “In the seven years that Abbott has been governor, property taxes have skyrocketed $20 billion. Why? It’s simple: First, Abbott isn’t looking out for Texas families – he’s looking out for his wealthy corporate donors.
“Year after year, he allows corporations to manipulate the appraisal process and shift billions upon billions of dollars of their tax burden onto the rest of us,” Mr. O’Rourke wrote. “ As governor, I will ensure wealthy corporations pay what they truly owe, dramatically reducing property taxes for families and small businesses.”
Homeowners in Texas currently pay the sixth-highest property taxes in the U.S., with many seeing double-digit increases in their bills in one year.
Texans for Fiscal Responsibility’s president, Tim Hardin, told The Center Square that property taxes have gone up nearly 200% in the last 20 years “with no sign of stopping.” The “historic property tax reform” touted during the 2019 legislative session, “has resulted in no tax relief for anyone,” he said.
“Our tax problems can be solved the same way that we have to solve our personal budgets: cut spending. Not slow the rate of growth of spending,” he said, but “actually cut spending and reduce the size of government.
“We are literally drowning in surplus dollars and the legislature is already looking for ways to use that to grow government. Texans must demand our money back in the form of property tax relief and a significant reduction in the size of our government.”

We often hear from readers looking for suggestions about what appliances and equipment they should have in their kitchens. Of course, we have our opinions, shaped in large part by our own needs and experiences. Ultimately, though, what works for me won’t always for you.
There are plenty of considerations to take into account. How much money do you want to spend? How much room do you have? What type of cooking do you want to be able to do?
To help you sort through these questions, I’ve come up with some things to ask yourself when picking between some common pairings, especially when resources or shelf space are limited. They are blenders and food processors; hand mixers and stand mixers; and slow cookers and multicookers, i.e., Instant Pots. You may want or need both items, or neither. Like I said, the decision is entirely yours.
- — -
Blender vs. food processor
On the surface, these two kitchen mainstays seem to have a lot in common. They break down or puree food. They both use a blade. Ask yourself:
- Do I want to make frozen drinks? If you’re in it for the smoothies, frozen cocktails and milkshakes, a blender is the way to go. Manufacturers typically do not recommend breaking down ice in a food processor.
- What if I want something to help with baking? While stand mixers get a lot of the attention, food processors are unsung heroes in baking. A food processor can make pie crusts and cookie dough. It can knead bread or pizza dough. It also makes a creamy, stable whipped cream.
- Which one makes great soup? For simple pureed soups, either appliance will work well. Because of its faster speed, a blender will generally give you smoother results with fewer specks. A high-powered blender, such as the Vitamix, excels at turning even the toughest ingredients — fibrous vegetables, nuts, beans, etc. — silken in no time, with no further straining required. A food processor, though, can help you even more in the early stages of prep, because you can use the pulse function with the blade to chop or slice vegetables.
- Which takes up less space? This is a bit of a wash. Unless you have a lot of space under your cabinets or tall shelves, you’re probably going to be storing both types of appliances in two pieces — the base and the jar/bowl.
- Which costs less? It really depends. If I had to make a sweeping generalization, I’d say that blenders typically are less expensive than food processors, excepting the high-end models. If you don’t have the space or money to invest in full-size models of both, especially if you are a household of one or two, you could consider pairing a good blender with a mini food processor or a full-size food processor with an immersion (stick) blender.
- — -
Hand mixer vs. stand mixer
Despite their vastly different shapes and sizes, these baking tools can actually accomplish a lot of the same things — but not always and certainly not at the same price. Ask yourself:
- Do I want something to make bread? With very few exceptions, you cannot knead bread dough with a hand mixer. They are just not powerful enough. That’s not to say you can’t knead bread dough if you don’t have a stand mixer — you can knead on the counter, in a food processor, in a bowl with periodic folds, or not at all (i.e., no-knead breads). But if you want a mixer that does it for you, stand is the way to go.
- What can I use to make cakes and cookies? The good news is that a lot of your everyday baking can be done in either type of mixer. Cake and quick-bread batters, including for muffins and loaves, are no problem. You can cream butter and sugar in both, for cakes or cookies. If you’re doing a cookie dough that is particularly dense or loaded with add-ins (chips, nuts, etc.), you may need to switch to stirring by hand with a flexible spatula or wooden spoon toward the end to avoid overtaxing a hand mixer. I like to do a final stir by hand anyway, even with a stand mixer, to make sure all the ingredients from the bottom and sides of the bowl are well incorporated.
- Do I have physical or mobility limitations? A hand mixer reduces the amount of manual work you have to do, but it still requires holding the appliance above the bowl and moving it around. That can be challenging if you have arthritis or other conditions, so if you really need a hands-off option, go with the stand mixer. Do keep in mind that a stand mixer is very heavy, so account for space on your counter if you don’t think you can easily relocate it every time you need it.
- Which takes up less space? Hand mixer, hands down.
- Which costs less? Again, hand mixer, by a long shot. If you’re hoping to score a stand mixer for less, start scouting for prices around the holiday season, particularly near Black Friday/Cyber Monday. The past few years, I’ve noticed very good sale prices on KitchenAid mixers at Target, and Costco often discounts them, too. Another option: Refurbished. You can buy refurbished KitchenAid mixers through the company itself or other retailers.
- — -
Slow cooker vs. multicooker (i.e., Instant Pot)
While electronic multicookers, particularly the Instant Pot, have gained a passionate following in recent years, pressure cookers and slow cookers have been around for generations. Both have improved over the years and now feature some, but not total, overlap in functions. Ask yourself:
- Do I want to cook fast or slow? Pressure cooking, the most popular function of multicookers, speeds up cooking by creating a sealed environment in which water boils at 250 degrees instead of 212 degrees. This helps put dinner on the table in a flash, ideal for people who are short on time or planning. Slow cookers go the opposite direction, working at lower temperatures for long, no-rush recipes that can stretch overnight or from before to after work. If you prefer slow cooking, don’t assume you can just rely on that function on a multicooker. Most multicookers have one heating element at the bottom of the base, while some slow cookers also include a band around the sides. That, and the fact that multicookers have less surface area than a typical slow cooker, can lead to unevenly cooked food when using the slow-cook function in a multicooker. The Instant Pot, in particular, has a reputation for running hot on the slow-cook setting.
- What types of dishes do I want to make? You can cook a lot of the same types of foods in slow cookers and multicookers — meat, beans, oatmeal, broth, soups and stews. The differences are how you get there and the ingredients you might use. Because of their shape, slow cookers can accommodate large, tough cuts of meat, braising them over many hours to tender perfection. A multicooker can also tenderize tougher meat, though it may require cutting it into smaller pieces to fit. Because of the sealed environment and shorter cook time, you generally need less liquid in pressure cooking, or else you risk soupy, bland dishes. Pressure cooking is great for cutting the cook time of ingredients such as firm vegetables, beans and grains, while it can wreak havoc on more delicate ones, such as seafood, quick or rolled oats and dairy. Decide what kinds of dishes you’re most likely to use your appliance for, and let that help guide your choice.
- How many functions do I need? Multicookers offer an array of possibilities. Beyond pressure cooking and slow cooking, you may get functions for yogurt, rice, steaming, sauteing and sous-vide. Some slow cookers have settings for steaming and making yogurt, but they are largely single-use appliances that let you choose a heat level and time. Sauteing is not a standard function either.
- Which takes up less space? Slow cookers tend to have a larger footprint, with their elongated oval shape, while multicookers skew tall and narrow. Still, the difference is not enough to give a clear advantage of one over the other. Evaluate your cabinets and counter space, and decide where a slow cooker or multicooker might fit best.
- Which costs less? As with size, there is not a clear winner here, meaning I would base your decision largely on your cooking style and what you plan to make. For less than $100, you can buy a well-performing model of either type of appliance, though the price of more souped-up options can creep toward $150 or more.

Queen Elizabeth II's Net Worth At The Time Of Her Death Might Surprise You
Long-reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2022 at the age of 96, as confirmed by The Royal Family. Early on Thursday, Buckingham Palace released an official statement indicating that Her Majesty was "under medical supervision," per her doctors' advisement (via Twitter). The beloved ruler, who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee — marking 70 years on the throne — in June 2022, had endured highly-publicized health issues in the preceding years. Her Majesty was even forced to sit out a number of events at her own Jubilee due to mobility troubles, as The Telegraph reported (via Vanity Fair), ultimately leading to a fast-tracked revision of her official duties.
Queen Elizabeth's son, Prince Charles, was ready to take over, with the palace working away in the background to make the transition as smooth as possible, per Page Six. As the managing editor of Majesty magazine, Joe Little, explained, the changeover of power became a more pressing concern due to Her Majesty's "fluctuating health." Although Britons were prepared for her death, it still came as a huge shock to the system. The queen was also sitting on a massive fortune when she passed, of course, the details of which are even more startling.
Queen Elizabeth II had a massive personal fortune
Celebrity Net Worth confirms that Queen Elizabeth II was sitting on an eye-watering $600 million fortune when she died. The beloved monarch was also in control of a whopping $28 billion in additional assets, while the Crown Estate was worth $19 billion. Additionally, the Estate generated around $450 million in profit annually, of which the queen was entitled to 25%.
It's worth noting that Her Majesty's personal fortune is only an estimate, so it's likely she was actually worth more, particularly considering that the queen owned two castles — Sandringham House and Balmoral — in Scotland. Buckingham Palace, meanwhile, is worth $5 billion alone. Suffice to say, Queen Elizabeth was wealthier than most of us could comprehend.
She was born into incredible wealth, as her parents were the Duke and Duchess of York (her father was the second son of King George V). Likewise, Her Majesty ascended to the throne much earlier than anticipated. Britannica notes she became queen when King George VI died in 1952. Her Majesty was just 25 years old at the time. George's predecessor, King Edward VIII, infamously abdicated to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson.
Her Majesty had an expansive property portfolio
As Town & Country details, Queen Elizabeth II had a number of stylish homes to choose from throughout her reign, from the wide expanse of Buckingham Palace to the cozier confines of Windsor Castle. Her Majesty actually moved to Windsor Castle permanently in early 2022 after stepping back from many of her public duties, per the Times of London (via the New York Post). However, many of these properties weren't personally owned by the queen.
They were simply used by the reigning monarch of the time. Holyrood Palace, in Edinburgh, is the official residence of the British ruler but didn't necessarily belong to the queen even though she was free to use it whenever she pleased. Likewise, Hillsborough Castle, located in Northern Ireland, is also an official residence rather than a personal one. Even so, Queen Elizabeth had an impressive property portfolio regardless.
Architectural Digest points out that Windsor Castle, with its 1,000+ rooms and more than 13 acres of land, "is the largest occupied castle in the world." Her beloved Balmoral Castle, meanwhile, sits on 50,000 acres and features 150 buildings in total. Hello! confirms both Balmoral and Sandringham were privately owned by the queen, so one of her lucky children will likely inherit them following her passing.
Christmas is held annually at Sandringham, while Balmoral is typically used for summer getaways.
The queen's jewelry collection was awe-inspiring
Unsurprisingly, given she was born into royalty, Queen Elizabeth II also owned an impressively large stack of jewelry. The general royal collection includes paintings, tapestries, jewels, clothing, and plenty of other valuable items. The queen herself, meanwhile, owned a considerable amount of tiaras, brooches, and other pieces, which had an estimated combined worth of $110 million, per Forbes.
Tatler cataloged some of her most impressive acquisitions, including the stunning Imperial State Crown, which was displayed next to Prince Charles when he took over the State Opening of Parliament in his mother's place in 2022. The piece features 2,868 diamonds, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 269 pearls, and dates back to 1937, and the coronation of King George VI. It had to be shortened by one inch for Queen Elizabeth.
Elsewhere, the so-called Crown Amethyst Suite of Jewels boasts a matching diamond brooch, earrings, and necklace, while the queen inherited the Crown Ruby Necklace when her own mother passed away in 2002. Her Majesty's engagement ring, a "three-carat diamond solitaire," was created using stones from a tiara belonging to Prince Philip's dearly departed mother, Princess Alice. Queen Elizabeth II glittered at all times, to say the least.
Queen Elizabeth also received a wage from the British government
Aside from her personal fortune and impressive assets, Queen Elizabeth II also, somewhat controversially, received a regular stipend from the British government. According to CNBC, she even got a raise of almost 78% in 2018/2019. The Sovereign Grant Report, which details how much money Her Majesty received over the previous financial period — alongside what the royals spent, too — confirmed she earned £76.1 million (nearly $100 million) from April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018.
From 2018 to 2019, meanwhile, the royal household confirmed an increase to £82.2 million (almost $108 million). The jump was put down to extensive renovations at Buckingham Palace, which included overhauling the electrics, pipework, and heating and cooling systems, among other things. Elsewhere, the queen also spent more over this particular period, with her "official expenditure" increasing by 13%, from £41.9 million ($55 million) in 2016/17 to £47.4 million ($62.2 million) for 2017/18.
This can, again, predominantly be attributed to the renovations. The Sovereign Grant paid for Her Majesty's official duties, as well as the upkeep of the palaces and staffing costs. However, Elizabeth also used income from her own considerable investment portfolio to fund her lifestyle. Even so, the U.K. is split on whether taxpayers should continue paying the royals' way, according to an Ipsos poll cited by Bloomberg.
As People noted, the queen's use of the Royal Train to travel to Balmoral in June 2021 for the G7 summit cost Britons $38,400 alone.
The beloved monarch enjoyed an incredibly luxurious life
Queen Elizabeth II lived an insanely lavish life, that much is clear. Alongside her impressive art collection, bulging property portfolio, and to-die-for jewelry pieces, Her Majesty owned racehorses (per Britannica), had her own personal chef (via Geo News), and even traveled on her own private plane (per CNBC). She also had expensive taste. According to The Telegraph (via Town & Country) Queen Elizabeth owned more than 200 handbags from high-end British designer Launer.
The queen developed a love of the bags after being gifted one by her mother when she was a child. Her Majesty's car collection was reportedly worth around $10 million, according to Business Insider, featuring custom Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, a Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB, and more. Queen Elizabeth wasn't known for carrying cash around with her, though, despite the fact she had her own personal ATM installed in the basement of Buckingham Palace sometime around 2001, as reported by Vogue.
The long-reigning monarch was so wealthy, she had an employee on hand to break in her shoes for her, as noted by the Evening Standard. Royal insider Stewart Parvin explained succinctly, "The shoes have to be immediately comfortable ... The queen can never say 'I'm uncomfortable, I can't walk anymore.'" He added, "She has the right to have someone wear them in." This person was separate from her ladies-in-waiting, i.e. staffers tasked with helping Her Majesty with anything she needed.
Queen Elizabeth II's long reign will be fondly remembered.

(WASHINGTON) — The Justice Department is appealing a judge’s decision to name an independent arbiter to review records seized by the FBI from former President Donald Trump’s Florida home.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday granted the Trump team’s request for a so-called special master and temporarily blocked the Justice Department from using for investigative purposes the thousands of records taken from Mar-a-Lago during the Aug. 8 search.
That order has the likely impact of slowing the pace of the investigation into the presence of classified documents at the Florida property.
The Justice Department, which had strenuously opposed such an appointment, filed a notice of appeal Thursday, saying it was contesting the ruling to the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Cannon, a Trump appointee, said the yet-to-be-named special master will be responsible for reviewing the records from Mar-a-Lago and segregating out those that are potentially protected by attorney-client privilege or executive privilege.
The Justice Department has been investigating what it says was the unlawful retention of national defense information at Mar-a-Lago as well as efforts to obstruct the probe. It is not clear whether Trump or anyone else will face charges.
The two sides were directed to submit proposed names of a special master by Friday. That role is often filled by a lawyer or former judge.

Rossen Reports: How to make your old iPhone run like a new one
Apple just announced its newest iPhone hitting store shelves, but many of us look at that price and gasp.
Newer iPhones tend to carry hefty price tags. But tech experts are coming out with easy things you can do to make your old iPhone run like new. Below are a few.
No. 1: Shut it down
This may sound like a no-brainer, but how often do you really shut your phone all the way down? Your phone might need a simple refresh to run faster and smoother. Technology needs a break too.
No. 2: Check your battery
It's not your imagination -- old iPhones don't hold charges as long as they did when they were new. You need to check how the battery in your phone is holding up.
Go to 'Settings' and then scroll down and tap on 'Battery.' Then tap 'Battery Health.' You'll be able to see how much battery capacity you have compared to when you bought it.
It might even recommend you take your phone in for service. A new battery is a lot cheaper than a whole new phone.
No. 3: Update your phone
Make sure your phone is updated with the latest software. This will get rid of any bugs that make your phone glitchy or run slowly.
Go to 'Settings' and tap on 'General.' Then tap on 'Software Update.' It will tell you if your phone is up-to-date.
Word of advice – just toggle on the option to have your phone update automatically. This will save you some trouble!
No. 4 Clear your storage
Too much data will make your phone run slower.
Go to 'Settings' and then 'General' and then tap on 'iPhone Storage.' It will tell you how much you've used and how much is left.
Then it will tell you which apps are taking up the most storage. Texts tend to take up a lot because you're sending pictures, videos, GIFs, TikToks, etc. Other secret storage suckers can be downloaded podcasts, eBooks, TV shows, etc.
Go through and start deleting.
No. 5: Stop app refreshing
Your iPhone is constantly refreshing apps in the background, but some don't need to be refreshed at all times. Go to 'Settings' and then 'General'. Then tap on 'Background App Refresh.' Toggle off the ones that you don't need right now.
No. 6: Clear cookies and data
Your web browsers take up space with all the data they're storing.
If you use Safari, go to 'Settings' and then tap on 'Safari.' Scroll down and tap on ‘Clear History and Website Data.'

SHELBY — Shelby's new PreK-8 building is finally bringing everybody together on one unified campus.
The facility welcomed students in kindergarten through 5th grade on Tuesday for the first day of school. Students in sixth through eighth grade have begun classes in the old junior high building nearby.
Amid workforce shortages and supply chain delays, the district and its construction firm, Adena, narrowed their focus to preparing the new facility for younger students in order to start school as scheduled on Sept. 6.
Supt. Tim Tarvin said the district is aiming to have the older students move into the building around mid-October. The 155,000 square-foot building replaces Auburn Elementary, Dowds Elementary and Shelby Middle School.
It will serve approximately 1,300 students once the middle schoolers move in.
The new building was first proposed in 2017. After three failed attempts to pass a facilities levy, the district reached an agreement with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission that combined state funding with the district's revenue from the Rover Pipeline.
“We’re excited to give our kids something so state-of-the-art," Tarvin said.
“It’s a win-win for everybody in the community of Shelby. It’ll last for generations and everyone’s on one campus.”
The building is broken up into “pods” with classrooms of the same grade grouped together. Each pod has a shared extended learning area with comfortable seating, magnetic whiteboards and smart-boards.
Teachers and administrators said the spaces are ideal for group work or cross-classroom collaborations.
The new setup also allows teachers to help one another.
“During the day they can meet, collaborate to talk and say, 'Hey, what do you think about this strategy?'" Tarvin said.
"They have a chance to really enhance their craft, because they can bounce ideas off each other more easily.”
Fifth grade student Kayla Lykins said she likes the change of pace the extended learning spaces offer.
“You’re not all cramped. You don’t have to be shoved into a classroom all day," she explained. "You can have a different learning environment.”
The gym, cafeteria and art rooms are all located in the center of the building.
Lykins said she appreciates having the cafeteria farther away from the classrooms.
“We don’t have to worry about being noisy and you can still talk to your friends and not interrupt other classes," she said.
Kaylee Dabney, another fifth grade student, said her favorite part of the new building is the gym, which can be divided by a giant red curtain down the middle.
"I like how you can separate it and there are multiple basketball hoops," she said. "There are six, so each side has three. So people aren't fighting over them.”
Other students said the part they enjoy the most is the new playground. Brightly colored swings, slides, see saws and climbing structures are on one side atop a cushy rubberized surface.
The blacktop portion includes four basketball hoops and a sensory path. White lines guide students in swirls and zig zags, along with suggested activities like dancing or tip-toeing.
Tarvin said both the playground and the building are fully ADA compliant, unlike the previous facilities.
"(Kids with disabilities) were restricted in the older buildings. There were places they just couldn't get to," he said.
"In this building they have access to everything that every other kid has, and that's the way it should be."
At the old elementary and middle school buildings, physical therapist assistant Miranda Brammer worked with students in the hallway.
Now she has her own kinesthetic learning lab, where students can be loud, run, jump, skip and throw balls without disturbing nearby classrooms or reading groups.
"I don't have to shush them. They can use loud movements, big movements and it's okay," she said.
"If they get their jitters out in here, they are able to be more focused, they can sit in their chair properly. They have good posture; they can comprehend what's happening."

Condolences poured in from around the world Thursday after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, whose rule saw Britain through decades of change.
Elizabeth had been on the throne since 1952, when the nation was still rebuilding from the destruction of World War II, and became a global icon of calmness and fortitude through years of political upheaval and social changes at home and abroad.
“She lived history, she made history. And with her passing, she leaves a magnificent, inspirational legacy,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said.
In India, once a British colony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called her “a stalwart of our times.”
“She personified dignity and decency in public life,” Modi tweeted.
Flags were ordered flown at half-staff from Washington to Ghana.
President Joe Biden was informed of her death by senior advisers during a meeting in the Oval Office.
Elizabeth, who the White House said had met with 14 American presidents, “was a stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States,” he and first lady Jill Biden said in a statement, saying she “she defined an era.”
She was mourned across the 54-nation Commonwealth, a group built around Britain and its former colonies.
The queen’s death comes as a growing number of British territories in the Caribbean seek to replace the monarch with their own heads of state amid demands that Britain apologize for its colonial-era abuses and award its former colonies slavery reparations.
Still, Caribbean leaders from Bermuda to Dominica and beyond mourned her death.
“Her passing ends an iconic 70-year reign and is a profound loss for the commonwealth of nations and the world,” tweeted Roosevelt Skerrit, Dominica’s prime minister.
Minutes later, Bermuda Premier David Burt noted that her reign “has spanned decades of such immense change for the United Kingdom and the world.”
Tributes also came from celebrities. Elton John said in a tweet that she was “an inspiring presence to be around, and lead the country through some of our greatest, and darkest, moments.”
There was even praise from the fictional Paddington Bear, the beloved British children’s book character. The bear shared tea with the queen in a video shown in June during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“Thank you Ma’am, for everything,” said a statement on the Paddington Bear Twitter feed.
Elizabeth died Thursday afternoon at age 96 at Balmoral Castle, her summer residence in Scotland, where members of the royal family had rushed to after her health worsened.

An August poll by research institute Angus Reid shows British Columbians have some of the worst access to family doctors in Canada.
Nationally, about one in five Canadian adults are without a regular physician, according to the 2,279 people polled. In B.C., however, that number jumps to 26 per cent, a rate matched only by Quebec. Saskatchewan and Ontario have the lowest rates at 14 per cent each.
Even among those with a family doctor, seeing them remains difficult, the poll suggests. Just seven per cent of B.C. adults said they have easy access to their physician. Another 36 per cent described access as “difficult” and 31 per cent as “okay.”
On average in Canada, the situation is slightly better. About 14 per cent of people say they have easy access, 33 per cent say it’s difficult and another 33 per cent say it’s okay.

Wait times to get an appointment are also an issue. Almost half (48 per cent) of B.C. poll respondents said they have to wait at least a week to get in to see their doctor. Another 42 per cent said it takes at least a few days, and just 10 per cent said they can see their doctor within a day or two. Nationally, 18 per cent said they can get in within the latter time frame.
Of course, wait times to actually get a family doctor are dramatically longer. In B.C., 31 per cent of people without a doctor have been searching for one for over a year, while 49 per cent said they have simply given up, according to the poll. Nine per cent have been waiting under a year and 11 per cent said they don’t want or need a doctor. On average nationally, 19 per cent of people have waited under a year, 35 per cent have waited more than a year, 29 per cent have given up and 17 don’t want a doctor.
Virtual appointments are on the rise across the country, but are especially prevalent in B.C. Canada-wide, 68 per cent of people said they see their doctor in person, whereas in B.C. just 46 per cent said the same.
The poll also compared Canada to the United States, where 92 per cent of people said they see their doctor in person. Americans are also more likely to get in to their doctor within a day or two than Canadians, the poll found.
READ ALSO: $118M announced for B.C. family doctors amid new payment model transition
At the end of August, B.C. announced $118 million in funding to address the family doctor shortage. It will help doctors cover the overhead costs of their practices until the province and Doctors of BC develop an alternative payment model.
Under the current fee-for service system, physicians receive only about $30 per patient, regardless of the complexity of the health care needs. The new model will likely be based on how much time physicians spend with patients.
The Angus Reid Institute survey ran from Aug. 8 to 10 and collected responses from 2,279 Canadian adults, 277 of which resided in B.C. It carries a margin of error of +/- 2.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

A new federal lawsuit has challenged the state of Florida's effort to exclude gender-affirming health care for transgender people from its state Medicaid program, calling the rule illegal, discriminatory and a "dangerous governmental action."
A coalition of legal groups filed the lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of four Florida Medicaid recipients, who are either transgender or parents of transgender youth, in the Northern District of Florida.
"This exclusion is discrimination, plain and simple," said Carl Charles, a senior attorney for Lambda Legal, a LGBTQ civil rights organization that is leading the lawsuit and has litigated similar issues around the country. "Transgender Medicaid beneficiaries deserve health care coverage free from discrimination, just like any other Medicaid beneficiary in Florida."
One of the lawsuit's four plaintiffs, a 20-year-old transgender man named Brit Rothstein, was pre-authorized by Florida's Medicaid program on Aug. 11 for a chest surgery that was scheduled for December, the complaint states.
The next day, the lawsuit says, Rothstein learned that Florida had decided to strip Medicaid coverage for the procedure.
Jade Ladue, another plaintiff, said she and her husband began seeking medical care for her son, who is identified in the lawsuit as K.F., after he came out as transgender at 7 years old.
K.F.'s doctor recommended puberty blockers, a common treatment for transgender youth that helps delay the effects of puberty, which he then received via an implant. Due to Ladue's limited family income, the lawsuit states, the costs were covered under Medicaid.
In the future, K.F. could need monthly shots that could cost more than $1,000 out of pocket, the lawsuit states. "For our family, it would be super stressful," Ladue said. "Potentially, if it's something we couldn't afford, we'd have to look to possibly moving out of state."
About 5 million Floridians — nearly a quarter of the state's residents — rely on the state's taxpayer-funded Medicaid program. More than half of the children in the state are covered by Medicaid, and most adult recipients are either low-income parents or people with disabilities.
For years, the program has covered the cost of gender-affirming health care for transgender people, including hormone prescriptions and surgeries. Advocacy groups estimate that 9,000 transgender people in Florida currently use Medicaid for their treatments.
In June, the state's Medicaid regulator, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, issued a report claiming that health care for gender dysphoria – the medical term for the feelings of unease caused by a mismatch between gender identity and sex as assigned at birth – is "experimental and investigational" and that studies showing a benefit to mental health are "very low quality and rely on unreliable methods." The state's report has been criticized by medical experts.
Then, last month, the agency implemented a new rule banning health care providers from billing the Medicaid program for such treatments for transgender patients. Those treatments are still covered for patients who are not transgender, the lawsuit says. (For example, cisgender children may be prescribed hormone blockers for a condition called "precocious puberty," in which the body begins puberty too early.)
The abrupt end to Medicaid coverage "will have immediate dire physical, emotional, and psychological consequences for transgender Medicaid beneficiaries," the complaint says. Challengers have asked for the rule to be permanently enjoined.
A handful of other states have similar exclusions. Lambda Legal has filed challenges in several, including Alaska and West Virginia, where a federal judge ruled in August that the state's Medicaid agency could not exclude transgender health care from coverage.

Justice Dept. appeals ruling on special master to review records seized from Trump's Florida home
The Justice Department said Thursday that it was appealing a judge's decision granting the appointment of an independent arbiter to review records seized by the FBI from former President Donald Trump's Florida home.
The department also asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to put on hold her directive prohibiting it from using the seized records for investigative purposes while it contests her ruling to a federal appeals court.
Law enforcement officials said they would suffer “irreparable harm” if Cannon's directive remained in place, noting that uncertainty about the boundaries of the judge's order had led the intelligence community to temporarily halt a damage assessment of the classified records taken from Mar-a-Lago.
“Moreover, the government and the public are irreparably injured when a criminal investigation of matters involving risks to national security is enjoined,” the Justice Department motion stated.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday granted the Trump team's request for a so-called special master and temporarily blocked the Justice Department from using for investigative purposes the thousands of records taken from Mar-a-Lago during the Aug. 8 search.
That order has the likely impact of slowing the pace of the investigation into the presence of classified documents at the Florida property.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark pleaded no contest in Los Angeles on Thursday to two counts of misdemeanor possession of an assault weapon and was sentenced to one year of probation and 40 hours of community service.
Clark is due back in court early next year, when he will need to show proof that he completed his sentence.
The three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher was arrested in March 2021, when he was pulled over while riding with another man in a vehicle that did not have a license plate. An officer noticed a weapon in the car and recovered two loaded firearms.
Three months later, Clark was pulled over for a code violation and officers discovered another gun in his vehicle.
Clark, who did not practice Thursday because of an illness, spent the offseason rededicating himself to the game, going so far as to eliminate alcohol and red meat from his diet. He arrived at training camp noticeably slimmer, and during one news conference, he admitted that “at some point you have to grow up" and be an example for your kids.
The 29-year-old Clark is coming off a disappointing season in which he had 4 1/2 sacks, his lowest total since his rookie season. He has 88 tackles and 18 1/2 sacks during 40 regular-season games in Kansas City.

Deputy rescues fox caught in high school’s soccer net
PARKER, Colo. (Gray News) – A school resource officer in Colorado is being credited with rescuing a fox that was tangled in a soccer net.
According to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Koski was called to the soccer field at Ponderosa High School early Thursday morning regarding the fox.
While the sheriff’s office said it’s best to leave wildlife alone in most cases, this was an extreme circumstance. Deputies said it was clear the fox was in distress and could not free itself.
With a bit of work, Koski was able to safely free the fox, which took off running.
“It ended in a win-win for all!” the sheriff’s office wrote in a Facebook post.
Ponderosa High School is located in the city of Parker, about 30 miles south of Denver.

Former royal correspondent reflects on Queen Elizabeth II after decades on the throne
Share
Updated: 4:30 PM EDT Sep 8, 2022
Susan all Children want to be by their parents bedside in *** time like this. But when it comes to the queen's Children, they actually have *** constitutional duty in the event of *** passing yes, we hear about these things how strictly it will be adhered to. I do not know, but typically those in presence of demonic at his or her ascension immediately kneel and kiss their hand. Um Charles is *** bit of *** stickler for tradition. So that will probably occur. The signals that the palace has sent out over the last 24 hours are unusual, but they are also very clear. They are the queen, it would seem is fading fast. Usually matters of health are very private with the royal family, but as we mentioned earlier, the passing of *** monarch is *** grave constitutional situation. It's *** matter of state, it's no longer *** personal matter just between family and the patient and the doctors. So the mere fact that statements are being issued by the palace and the palace spokespeople suggests that they are preparing the nation for something it always intellectually knew it would have to face. But nobody emotionally ever wanted to face the passing of the queen. It's *** remarkable change, given just 48 hours, we saw *** video of her welcoming Liz trust to Balmoral and greeting her in her living room. Yes, and very typically of the queen, no matter how she felt, no matter what she thought the next few days would bring that she would do her duty. And it's interesting, isn't it that her perhaps perhaps her last and final duty as sovereign would be to welcome and sanctify the appointment of *** new prime minister, her 15th Prime Minister, huge milestone in anyone's lives even to the Queen. So yeah, duty right till the end. And at 21 years old, she promised her entire life to service of her nation and the commonwealth. And hasn't she done it? And she most certainly has. And you know, in the last year she's faced losing her husband this summer, she lost her closest friend. Many who had served with her for many years have also passed. It's also, I would think Susan kind of *** lonely position to find herself in at this stage having outlived so many of those who you went through these experiences with. Yes, in that sense, the queen is just like your mother or grandfather or great grandparents. You reach *** point when you think everyone I loved has passed, it's it's my time and that you accept that. But the Queen, as you say, she's been through *** lot, not just in the last few months, but in the last few years, grave crisis of her lifetime have included wars, um civil distressed, um grave upsets within her family. And even up to the very last moment she's even um witnessing and experiencing family discord and of course the loss of her husband loss of dear friends, *** pandemic that she has led the nation through. Yes, it's just yet another incredible milestone of her life that we've all been grateful to have her therefore, but it must be tough. It must be tough on her to have gone through all these isolating events. It's interesting, isn't it, that she's in Scotland, which is her favorite place to be in the world. In *** castle built by queen victoria. This is the one place in the world that she can be absolutely private. And the mere fact that her Children, grandchildren and possibly great grandchildren are flying in right now suggests that she is where she wants to be with the people. She loves dealing around her, Looking ahead to what happens next for the royal family and for Britain in general. Um Prince Charles would become the king instantly *** coronation, however, might not happen right away. Coronations take *** long time to plan and plot. However, in this day and age where things tend to be more streamlined than they were in 1953, when the queen had her coronation with immense pomp and ceremony in tune with the more austere times in which we live, Charles's coronation might be *** more streamlined event. Who can say though he's *** stickler for tradition and he's going to want his moment. He's lived all his life with the expectation of being king. He will have his coronation in whatever shape or form, but don't expect it to happen next week or next month. These things take at least as much time as *** royal wedding to plan. I could be wrong about this. But I think the critical thing is that the moment her majesty passes it won't be God save the queen anymore. It will be God save the king And Prince William will be prince of Wales Kate as we know her will be princess of Wales. Haven't had one of those for 25 years and we thought this would never happen, Camilla will be queen. And that's because of something that the queen did relatively recently, correct? Yes. Under enormous pressure, I think from her son and heir she agreed to make it known that it would be her wish at her passing that when Charles ascended as king, that his wife would be known as queen Camilla. We'd always been told ever since the time of Charles and Camilla's wedding that when he became king, she would be his consort. Um and she still will be his consort but that she would not be known as queen. She'd be known as perhaps um you know the duchess of this, that and whatever, but queen consort, not like the queen mother, the queen's mother who was known all her life as the queen because she was married to the king. So the queen was persuaded by Charles and fairly recent months that this is the way he wanted and I guess she bent under that pressure, which was ever since the death of Diana and the marriage of prince Charles and Camilla, the public was always assured that time would come of course that he would be king, but she would not be perceived as queen. Well, that was *** bit of *** game changes some months ago. So we will have the king Charles and the queen Camilla who have thunk it Britain has seen so much change in the last few years with Brexit, harry and Meghan turning their back on the royal family and also breaking many bounds and speaking very publically about the inner workings of the family. Um the queen, new leadership within the royal family, where do you see Britain taking this and what do you think the reaction will be because throughout all that turmoil, the queen has been one world leader who has always been there. She's been the constant, hasn't she? She's been the rock. And um it is to be seen whether Charles can come in and replace that solidifying *** voice feature presence that the queen has always had for not just Britain, but the entire commonwealth and to many people the world, she was the constant, more constant than *** pope, certainly more constant than *** prime minister or *** president. The queen was the rock of Gibraltar. That was always, there will Charles be able to have the same unifying presence time will tell. He doesn't have her electrifying personality, but he is intensely sincere and well meaning. And I think the public, especially in recent years, has come to regard him far more warmly than might have been supposed 10 years ago. So you know, we wish these people the best we know that in all sincerity he has been groomed and brought up every minute of his conscious life to take the role of the king and that is where he sees himself as stepping in. So people like me hope demonically will prevail in your work as royal correspondent. Did you have very close contact? And if so, did you have *** favorite memory of her? Something maybe we would be surprised to learn about her? Well, one meets the queen officially and informally quite frequently on these royal tours and things that you do. Favorite memories. Well, yes, actually *** favorite memory of mine was at Windsor during an equestrian event and her husband, Prince Philip was writing his carriage through *** water obstacle and I was just standing there watching as you do on my own because I think the press corps was elsewhere perhaps chasing Diana. Anyway, I was watching Prince Philip and standing there and *** lady just sort of shuffles up beside me and she seemed very comfortable and familiar. So I was just chit chatting with her saying pleasant things and I looked around and of course the lady in the knitted cardigan and sweater and tweed skirt was the queen and I had spent several minutes in pretty casual conversation with somebody I felt very comfortable with. But that's the entire essence of the queen. She's in our lives like our mother or our grandmother and it people dream about it. She she is *** huge part of our waking consciousness and to find yourself chit chatting with her without actually realizing it was just shows you what *** comforting president she can be. Well, it's quite *** legacy that she leaves behind that is for sure. Yes, it's *** legacy that none of us will forget and her passing. It's inevitable. As I say, we're all prepared for it to happen because nobody lives forever. But Even in my youth as *** newspaper reporter, they were putting together obituaries for that dreaded date when the queen would die. And and that was like 30, 40 years ago. And I expect they are frantically doing that even as we speak. Well. Her mother did live to be 103 so there is hope. There is hope. But I think it's safe to assume that her majesty is fading. You don't call in your nearest and dearest if you if you've taken *** little fall and just resting up. No, I'm afraid it it does seem very dire indeed. Well, thank you very much for sharing your insight and also your memories as well

Former royal correspondent reflects on Queen Elizabeth II after decades on the throne
It's a day Susan Skinner has known would come. But, contemplating the thought that the end of Queen Elizabeth II's reign is here is tough to wrap her mind around.

She wrote thousands of articles for newspapers and magazines around the world and is the author of multiple books about the Royal Family. And, as an accredited member of the Palace Press Corps, Skinner traveled daily with the Queen and her family.

Yellen pushes Biden economic plans in battleground Michigan
WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pressed the case for Democratic economic policies during a visit Thursday to Ford’s Rouge electric vehicle assembly plant in Michigan, a battleground state in the November midterm elections.
After a production-line tour, Yellen promoted recent legislative successes for the Biden administration, saying: “After the progress we have made over the past few months, I am more optimistic about the course of our economy than I have been for quite a while and I know we are headed in the right direction.”
Yellen’s visit to Detroit was part of a monthlong tour as well as a larger White House campaign to highlight new laws intended to repair the economy, boost computer chip manufacturing, lower prescription drug prices, expand clean energy and revamp the country’s infrastructure.
She pointed to the bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS and Science Act and the “Inflation Reduction Act,” all passed and signed in the past year.
“By any traditional metric, we have experienced one of the quickest recoveries in our modern history,” she said, referencing the financial damage and stagnation caused by the coronavirus pandemic that shuttered economic systems around the world. “Our plans worked” she added.
The Treasury Department is responsible for managing a new $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit for qualifying, but the auto industry is warning that the vast majority of EV purchases won’t qualify for that much.
The European Union and other nations have threatened to file complaints at the World Trade Organization over the tax credit, claiming it would discriminate against foreign producers and break WTO rules.
Yellen has more stops planned and will give a speech next month at the 157th anniversary of the Freedman’s Bank Forum to talk about how President Joe Biden’s economic agenda “advances equity and makes our economy stronger as a result.”
Biden is set to visit Ohio on Friday for the groundbreaking of an Intel semiconductor manufacturing facility and go to the Detroit auto show Wednesday to talk about manufacturing electric vehicles.
At the Ford electric vehicle assembly plant in Dearborn, Yellen pointed to U.S. vulnerability to global supply shocks caused by climate change and other factors, and the need to embrace green technology. Addressing those challenges, she said, offers the prospects of new jobs.
“This includes the U.S. clean vehicle sector, where we can expect greater investment — and more good jobs, like the ones here at Ford — as we develop the supply chain here at home,” she said.

‘Run, Jane, Run’ golf outing next week serves as fundraiser for YWCA
GRANGER, Ind. (WNDU) - “Run Jane Run” is a long-standing tradition in Michiana that brings women together for a day of golf.
The outing is coming up on Monday, Sept. 12, and supports the YWCA of North Central Indiana, which helps over 3,000 women and children each year in St. Joseph and Elkhart counties.
Former Notre Dame women’s basketball head coach Muffet McGraw is once again serving as the honorary chair of Run, Jane, Run, which is now in its 37th year.
“I think it’s crucial because it could be someone in your neighborhood you just don’t know,” McGraw says. “You have to be able to reach out to your neighbor. You have to be aware. You have to be willing to help. These people, they just need a hand up out of a bad situation.”
Registration is underway for Monday’s golf outing at Knollwood Golf Course. Check-in is at 10:30 a.m., with the shotgun start at 11:30 a.m.
For more information, visit www.ywcancin.org or call 574-233-9491.

The Sun-Times’ experts predict the Bears’ 2022 record:
Rick Morrissey: 5-12
If you’ve paid any attention to social media and Bears’ fans hopes for the season, you know that lots of people are picking seven, eight or nine victories. This is based on something, though I’m not sure what. They’ve embraced the idea of a rebuild but still think there’s going to be success in 2022? It doesn’t work that way.
Rick Telander: 6-11
I still find it amusing that coach Lovie Smith got fired in 2012 after going 10-6.That was when the Bears claimed it was all about the playoffs. Playoffs?What playoffs? Big chuckle.
Patrick Finley: 6-11
Seven teams had six or fewer wins last season: the Jets, Texans, Jaguars, Giants, Lions, Panthers — and Bears. Of that group, only the Texans are spending less than the Bears on active players this year.
Laurence Holmes: 6-11
Head coach Matt Eberflus deserves credit for raising the competency floor of this franchise. He seems to be an organized, sensible football coach. Whether that will be enough to overcome a clear talent deficiency this season remains to be seen. Strangely enough, the consensus over/under win total for the Bears 5.5. Therefore I’m staking ground as an optimist.
Jason Lieser: 5-12
That’s how it looks on paper. A few things must happen for them to exceed expectations: Justin Fields catapults into the top 10 at his position, their pass defense turns it around from last season and several opponents turn out to be worse than everyone thought. Otherwise, this is the start of a rebuild, and that’s usuallyrough.
Mark Potash: 6-11
A defense that should be in the middle of the pack or better in Eberflus’ first season will keep the Bears in a lot of games with this schedule. With presumed offensive growth under Luke Getsy, the Bears are more likely to win eight or nine games than three or four.

Published: Sep. 8, 2022 at 3:42 PM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
MITCHELL, S.D. (Gray News) – “The Corn Kid” became so popular on TikTok that he now has a day named after him.
Tariq, a 7-year-old boy known as “The Corn Kid,” became a viral sensation for clips in which he enthusiastically declared his love of corn.
Over the weekend, he accepted an invitation to South Dakota’s Corn Palace, a major tourist attraction in the state.
During the visit with his family, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem signed an executive proclamation to make Tariq the state’s “corn-bassador.”

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney gets raise, extended through 2031
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Clemson coach Dabo Swinney has a reworked contract that will pay him $115 million over 10 seasons through 2031.
Swinney’s enhanced contract follows megadeals given to Alabama’s Nick Saban, Georgia’s Kirby Smart and Ohio State’s Ryan Day earlier this season. Swinney’s average yearly salary of $11.5 million sits only behind Saban’s $11.7 million average compensation.
The university’s board of trustees compensation committee approved the deal Thursday.
Swinney will make $10.5 million this season, a raise of $2 million scheduled under his old agreement signed in 2019. He’ll earn $12.5 million in the contract’s final year, 2031.
Each year, Swinney will get $305,000 in base salary. His supplemental income this season will be $6.695 million plus $3.5 million in licensing money.
Swinney’s total compensation will go up $250,000 for the next four years. He will remain at $11.5 million in 2026 and 2027, then continuing increasing by $250,000 the final four years of the agreement.
“I remain eternally grateful and honored for the opportunity to continue coach and developing young people of excellence,” said Swinney, who is in his 14th full season with the Tigers. “This agreement is representative of what has been collectively built here.”
The 52-year-old has won seven Atlantic Coast Conference titles, made the College Football Playoff six times and won national crowns after the 2016 and 2018 seasons.
The Tigers, fifth in the latest poll, open the home season Saturday against FCS opponent Furman.
Athletic director Graham Neff said it was “critical that Clemson invest in our football program and ensure our head coach is at Clemson for a long, long time.”
The contract includes a different tier for any buyout if Swinney were leave to coach his alma mater, Alabama – $9 million to join the Crimson Tide this year, but just $6 million for any other college head coaching job. Those figures are reduced, but remain different, as the contract continues.
Swinney wouldn’t owe anything if he left to become an NFL head coach.
Clemson would have to pay Swinney $64 million if it dismissed him without cause, a figure that decreases throughout the length of the deal.
There are several contract performance bonuses, including $350,000 for a national title and $200,000 for an ACC championship. Swinney would get $100,000 if his team’s Academic Progress Rate reaches 975 out of 1,000, according to the NCAA’s scale that tracks academic performance.
Swinney was elevated to interim head coach in 2008 at midseason when Tommy Bowden was let go . Then the receivers’ coach, Swinney went 4-2 down the stretch to earn the full-time job.
The Tigers reached their first ACC championship game in 2009, then won the title two years later. In 2015, Clemson began run of six straight league crowns and six consecutive CFP berths.
The Tigers have had 11 straight seasons of 10 wins or more.

Richard Dunne tore into Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire after Manchester United's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad at Old Trafford this evening.
United turned in a poor performance and were miles off the energetic and impressive showing against Arsenal in their 3-1 over The Gunners less than a week ago.
Erik ten Hag made six changes for tonight's game, and according to Dunne, the inclusion of club captain Harry Maguire makes it very difficult for the Dutchman to implement his ideal style of play.

"You want to try and play a nice style of football and move the ball quickly, but Harry Maguire is painfully slow when he has the ball at his feet," said Dunne, who was appearing on Virgin Media as a pundit.
"He takes five or six touches every single time, he hesitates and he doesn't make the pass."
"You're not going to improve that in Harry Maguire."
Manchester City legend Dunne then proceeded to take aim at another United star, claiming Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't fit in with Ten Hag's modern, progressive style of play.
"Further up the field you've got Ronaldo who, if you give him a chance in the penalty area nine times out of ten (he'll score)"
"But you're not getting anything else out of him"
"United need more than that. They're not that good a team to be able to carry players anymore."
