Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center to offer free cancer screenings
Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center announced the return of its popular Live Well community event to Gonzales.
Live Well Ascension, a cancer early detection screening and education opportunity, will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 8 at Jambalaya Park. This free community event is designed to provide residents from across Ascension Parish and the capital region an opportunity to take advantage of four different types of cancer screenings, including breast, prostate, colorectal and skin cancer. Participants can also access blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose checks.
In addition to the cancer screenings and health services, there will be food, music and activities for the entire family.
“Live Well Ascension has always been a well-attended event, and we’re expecting that to continue this year,” said Renea Duffin, vice president, cancer support and outreach, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. “In collaboration with the Gonzales Area Foundation, we’ve been able to reach countless residents from across Ascension Parish, providing them with critical early-detection and prevention resources. We encourage the community to come take charge of their health.”
Research shows that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have delayed routine medical
care, and thus, delayed cancer screenings and other scheduled preventative care services. For Mary Bird
Perkins Cancer Center, community events such as Live Well Ascension serve to conduct outreach, raise awareness and provide general health education and resources.
“The Gonzales Area Foundation is proud to once again partner with Mary Bird Perkins to bring cancer screenings directly to our community,” said DeEtte DeArmond, a founding member of the Gonzales Area Foundation. “Having a Cancer Center of this caliber in our backyard is the ultimate asset that we must take advantage of. That starts by regularly getting screened, something we encourage you to do at this year’s Live Well Ascension event.”
Appointments are required for all screenings, and all activities at the event are free, thanks to donor support. If an abnormality is found, a nurse navigator will assist screening participants with next
steps, also at no cost. To make an appointment, call (225) 425-8034.

Charles' popular eldest son is now heir apparent, and his modern and socially-conscious outlook -- a legacy of his mother Diana -- is seen to represent the family's future.
The Duke of Cambridge is a vocal campaigner for environmental issues, and is credited with bringing a more relaxed and personal approach to royal duties and hands-on philosophy to raising children.
But he has endured the breakdown of his relationship with brother Harry, with whom he was previously extremely close, since the younger sibling married Meghan Markle and left frontline royal duties.
William's wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has so-far proved a model royal, raising three children -- George, Charlotte and Louis -- and making poised public appearances.
Also Read | Elizabeth II: Queen of the world
She stepped up appearances at her husband's side as his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II retreated from the public eye, underlining her willingness to take on royal duties.
But she was also dragged into the William and Harry row, with Meghan accusing her of making her cry on her wedding day.
It has done little to harm her public popularity, with Kate and her husband now the most popular royals, according to the YouGov polling group.
Former British Army captain Harry's roguish charm made him a much-loved family member, but the Duke of Sussex has since revealed that he was deeply unhappy in the confines of the role.
He and his American wife Meghan enjoyed a honeymoon period of popularity following their 2018 wedding, but they shocked the family and public by quitting frontline duties in 2020 with their criticisms of royal life.
Also Read | Elizabeth, the queen who moved with a changing world
The couple now live with their two children, Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, in California.
Harry and William were briefly reunited for the funeral of their grandfather Prince Philip and at the unveiling of a statue to their mother in 2021.
Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's only daughter, the Princess Royal's straight-talking style, relentless work schedule and unfussy demeanour has earned her high popularity ratings with the British public.
A respected horsewoman, she was the first British royal to compete in the Olympics, at the 1976 Montreal Games, is president of the British Olympic Association, and a member of the International Olympic Committee.
She has two children, Peter and Zara, from her first marriage to Mark Phillips.
Reportedly Elizabeth II's favourite son, Andrew, Duke of York, often courted controversy with his love life and business dealings.
But his relationship with convicted US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and accusations of a sexual relationship with a minor plunged the family into a full-blown crisis.
The former Royal Navy helicopter pilot, who saw service in the 1982 Falklands War, was stripped of his honorary military titles and charitable positions before he eventually settled a US civil case for sexual assault in February 2022.
Divorced from Sarah Ferguson, the couple have two daughters: Beatrice, who married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a descendant of Italian nobility, in 2020, and Eugenie, whose husband Jack Brooksbank is a bar manager and brand ambassador.
In 2021, Beatrice gave birth to a daughter, Sienna, while her sister had a boy, August.
The Queen's youngest son, the Earl of Wessex abandoned training to become a Royal Marine commando to go into theatre and television production before stepping up as a full-time royal.
He was widely ridiculed for organising a 1987 televised charity programme involving senior royals based on the popular Europe-wide Jeux sans frontieres format (It's a Knockout in Britain).
But he has since been rehabilitated, notably taking over the chairmanship of his father's Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme.
Married to the former public relations executive Sophie Rhys-Jones, the couple have two children, Lady Louise and James Mountbatten-Windsor.
Anne's daughter Zara is generally well-liked, having inherited her mother's earthy philosophy.
An accomplished horsewoman -- she won a silver medal as a member of Great Britain's eventing team at the 2012 Olympics -- she married former England rugby star Mike Tindall, a member of the 2003 World Cup winning team, in 2011.
The couple have three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas.
Princess Anne's rugby-loving son courted controversy when he advertised for Chinese company Bright Food, using his status as a "British royal family member" to promote the company's milk.
He has two children, Savannah and Isla, from his marriage to the Canadian-born Autumn Kelly, which ended in divorce in 2021.

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

“Our thoughts are with the students, staff, and families of Wendell Middle school. We will get through together,” Dena Nealy, principal at Wakelon Elementary School in Wake County, tweeted.

“All the love to the family and the community today,” Johnson-Hostler said at Tuesday’s school board meeting.

BEIJING , Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NaaS Technology Inc. ("NaaS", or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NAAS), the first publicly listed Chinese EV charging service provider, has recently entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Newrizon, a Chinese manufacturer that works with smart connected new energy commercial vehicles. NaaS and Newrizon will both draw upon the advantages that each partner possesses in terms of technology, resources, and services as they cooperate in the field of smart connected new energy commercial vehicles. The goal of the strategic partnership is to establish a new charging network, facilitate the formation of an intelligent charging ecosystem, and accelerate the popularization of new energy commercial vehicles. In doing so, both parties hope to not only facilitate the development of green logistics, but also to enable the achievement of China's "dual carbon" goals.
As a new player in ground transport, new energy commercial vehicles have been promoted heavily as they are regarded as an important means towards achieving the industry's "dual carbon" goals. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ("CAAC"), the market penetration rate for new energy commercial vehicles reached 10.2% this July. Global sales of new energy commercial vehicles were up to 142,000 as of July this year, representing a year-on-year growth of 75.3%. The China Passenger Car Association estimated that the sales of new energy vehicles would exceed 350,000 in 2022.
Currently, the commercial vehicle industry is pursuing the advancement of smart technologies. As an innovator, Newrizon is committed to the research and development of smart connected new energy commercial vehicles. Newrizon is improving the efficiency of the logistics industry with its cutting-edge, smart-connected technologies and full life cycle management systems. Newrizon develops its automatic driving solutions via a close coupling of its independently developed technologies for vehicles, power, chassis, and network connections. It has been awarded the L4 level automatic driving test license by the China Automotive Technology & Research Center Co. Ltd.
Business-use new energy commercial vehicles suffer more from the challenges of charging than new energy passenger vehicles. There are several reasons for this. First, their use in long-distance freight transport requires greater demand for charging. Second, the requirement to download different apps from different charging pile operators during long stretches of travel can be a burden for drivers. Third, commercial drivers often live in their vehicles when in transit, and their needs for food and beverage, hospitality, commercial purchases etc. often cannot currently be met while charging their vehicles. For all these reasons, new energy commercial vehicle manufacturers are determined to upgrade charging services and improve the user experience in charging.
NaaS and Newrizon, through their cooperative effort, will jointly upgrade Newrizon's charging services and improve user experience. Kuaidian, a strategic partner of NaaS, will open its nationwide digital charging network to Newrizon's mobile applications which include the Newrizon App as well as Newrizon mini-programs in WeChat and Alipay. Newrizon users can simply open these apps to find information such as prices and the locations of nearby charging stations, as well as directions and navigational aids. While at a charging station, users can enjoy the conveniences of charging with a single press of a button and pay online. This service was officially launched on September 5. In addition, based on the online, offline and non-electric services covering the entire value chain of the new energy industry, NaaS will provide restrooms, massage chairs, self-service counters for food and groceries, and other facilities at many charging stations. These features will allow Newrizon users to dine, rest, and shop while charging.
As a new energy service provider, NaaS provides industry-level solutions for charging pile manufacturers, operators, OEMs, vehicle network companies, logistics companies, large Internet companies, and other enterprises. On June 13, NaaS was listed on NASDAQ. According to the Company's Q2 financial report, in the first half of 2022, NaaS delivered 1.062 billion kWh to its users, representing a year-on-year increase of 160%. As of June 30, 2022, NaaS' services covered 358 major cities in China, connecting 44,000 charging stations and 400,000 charging connectors.
The current integration of automobiles with developments in the fields of energy, transportation, information and communication is accelerating. Liang Xing, Vice President of Operations for NaaS, said, "The commercial vehicle industry is accelerating its embrace of new energy. Newrizon is promoting the integration of new energy and autonomous driving technologies to commercial vehicles. NaaS will work closely with Newrizon to improve the smart-connected ecosystem with an intelligent charging network, promote innovation in the new energy commercial vehicle industry, and allow users to enjoy intelligent travel that is both pleasant and efficient."
Kuai Jun, Vice President of Marketing for Newrizon, said, "The intelligent charging network effectively upgrades the experience for new energy commercial vehicles drivers, which is of great significance to the development of green logistics and transportation. NaaS is a leading electric vehicle charging service provider in China. This new partnership will effectively strengthen Newrizon's efforts to build an electric, intelligent and networked ecosystem. It will also help accelerate the popularization of new energy commercial vehicles in China."

While the disease has progressed in all patients receiving standard of care, it did not progress in 40% of the patients receiving standard chemotherapy together with the experimental drug, Elenagen — and for half of the patients in the group, Elenagen has increased the time to disease progression by more than 2.5 times
BOSTON, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CureLab Oncology, a clinical-stage, pre-IPO biotech company, is presenting the results of its ongoing ex-US clinical trial at this year's meeting of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO). The trial is assessing an experimental DNA plasmid encoding the human protein, p62 (affectionately codenamed Elenagen), at the N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Centre, one of the leading cancer centers in Eastern Europe.
Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) is one of the deadliest forms of ovarian cancer and has a very poor prognosis. The FDA approved other novel treatments for PROC based on statistically significant improvements for the delay of progression of the cancer, assessed by the increasing size of a primary tumor and/or the appearance of new metastatic lesions or growth of the existing ones; i.e., progression-free survival (PFS). A statistically significant prolongation of PFS was clearly demonstrated in the trial and continues to extend as the trial continues.
- In the ex-US clinical trial, CureLab Oncology is assessing its experimental plasmid DNA therapeutic, Elenagen, for its ability to extend progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with PROC receiving standard chemotherapy, gemcitabine.
- For all patients in the trial receiving the standard of care only, the disease progressed during the first year of observations, with 50% of patients progressing within 2.7 months.
- In contrast, the disease did not progress at all for almost 40% of patients receiving the same gemcitabine in combination with weekly intramuscular injections of Elenagen.
- In 50% of patients receiving standard of care only, the disease has progressed within 2.7 months, while the time to progression for 50% of patients in the "chemo plus Elenagen" group has increased to 7.2 months.
- To date, no patient receiving Elenagen demonstrated any adverse event (AE) or significant adverse event (SAE) greater than grade 1, and all resolved quickly without impact.
- So far, the longest PFS in the gemcitabine + Elenagen treatment group is 27 months (and continues to grow), while the disease has progressed in all patients in the gemcitabine-only group within less than 12 months.
"While our data on increasing progression-free survival are already statistically significant (P=0.01), it will take a little longer to reach a statistical significance on overall survival of the patients," said Professor Sergey Krasny, M.D., D.Sc., co-author of the ESMO presentation, and a medical director of the study. "However, so far, no single patient receiving gemcitabine alone has lived longer than 18 months, while over 50 percent of patients receiving gemcitabine and Elenagen live longer than that. Also of note is that no person who survived to live 18 months has died at this point in the study."
"Our presentation at ESMO 2022 is a great step forward compared to what we presented at ESMO 2021. Now, we are certain that Elenagen is increasing progression-free survival for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients in the trial," said Alexander Shneider, Ph.D., CEO of CureLab Oncology.
CureLab's lead investigational compound is code-named Elenagen, an experimental DNA therapy that consists of a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid that includes a gene for a human protein called p62/SQSTM1. In animal studies and Phase I/II human trials conducted ex-US, Elenagen demonstrated promise in reversing tumor grade, changing the tumor microenvironment, and enhancing the anti-cancer effects of chemotherapy. Experimental results also indicate mitigation of chronic inflammation and stimulation of an immune response to the tumor.
CureLab Oncology Inc. is a pre-IPO, clinical-stage immuno-oncology biotech company headquartered in the greater Boston area, Massachusetts.

Wangaratta's Mark Anderson has revealed his heartache at older brother Jamie missing the Ovens and Murray Football League finals with injury.
Jamie Anderson turned 31 last Saturday, but the celebrations were spoiled after receiving the news he had damaged his anterior cruciate ligament in the final round clash against Yarrawonga.

"To be honest mate, it was heartbreaking," 28-year-old Mark offered.
"To see what he does in his own time for his football, he comes up from Torquay (680km round trip) every week, it just shows how much he wants it.
"To go down in such an innocuous injury, it's heartbreaking and we're making sure all the boys get around him as much as possible to feel a part of every game."
The tight-knit brothers haven't played in a premiership with the Pies, joining the club after the 2017 season, where it snared its last premiership over Albury.
The Pies lost to Albury the following season and Lavington in 2019, prior to COVID wiping out 2020 and most of last year, including the finals.
Wangaratta will be out to book a fourth successive grand final appearance when it meets Yarrawonga in Saturday's second semi-final at Corowa's John Foord Oval.
"It's not about trying to make up for it (the grand final losses), it's about taking the opportunities as they don't come around too often," Mark Anderson explained.
"That day (when Jamie got injured) was a perfect example of how precious football is to people, Jamie was extremely emotional that the injury could keep him out of a premiership, if we get that far.
"Brad Melville went over to him and said, 'are you right'? He said, 'I've done my knee'. People from the boundary line heard it and the physio confirmed it (the ACL injury) no more than 15 minutes after.
"He's looking to go overseas with his wife and that (the injury) now comes into play."
Jamie Anderson played on Doug Strang Medal winner Leigh Williams in the final round, until stretchered off.
The Pies boast the league's greatest backline depth with a handful of contenders potentially marking the powerhouse forward, including the ultra consistent Michael Bordignon or former Victoria Country representative Dylan Van Berlo.
Mark Anderson was also carrying injury after the Pigeons, which was their last game due to having the week off for the minor premiership.
"My glutes weren't activating, it was a lower back issue, but I've seen the chiro and there's nothing wrong now, I'm ready to go."
ALSO IN SPORT:
Yarrawonga is the only team to beat the Pies.

Before the World Cup in Qatar, there is one last FIFA Date. Brazil will have friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia. In Flamengo, there is a very popular player who is waiting for a chance in the Brazilian team and has been much requested by fans in the Cup: striker Pedro.
Pedro is going through a great phase and the time of the call-up of the Brazilian National Team interests the fans, but also the players who live in anticipation of a call-up. Pedro does not hide his desire to play in the World Cup and Tite has practically established the athlete’s presence in Qatar.
Read more: Members of the support group of Landim issue a note criticizing the management of the Flamengo Football Department
That’s because the coach of the Brazilian National Team declared in an interview with Flow Podcast recently: “He’s playing a lot, I’m not the one calling, it’s his performance that is”, implying that Pedro will be on the final list for the World Cup.
But first, shirt 21 needs to do his best in friendlies and awaits confirmation that he will be in the games on September 23 and 27, respectively.
Schedule of the call-up of the Brazilian National Team, broadcast and Flamengo missing
The time for the call-up of the Brazilian National Team is previously scheduled for 11:00 am (Brasilia time) this Friday (9). In addition, fans can follow Tite’s call-up live on CBF TV, the entity’s official YouTube channel. Just access the channel at the indicated time, which Pedro will certainly do too.
But the call-up to the Brazilian national team should miss Flamengo in a Brasileirão game. Not only for the matches in Brazil, but Data FIFA also reserves matches for Chile and Uruguay and, in addition to Pedro, Pulgar and Vidal can defend the Chileans, while Arrascaeta and Varela must be with the Uruguayans. In addition, there is still the possibility of other Mengão players being called to Canarinho. This is the case of Everton Ribeiro, who has been enchanting. There is still Rodinei, who despite the distance from the Selection, has been named after some football figures.
These athletes must miss Mengo in the match against Fortaleza, on September 27, the day after the second FIFA Data game. It is unlikely that Flamengo will take flights in the rush to have them on the field, as the club should prefer to avoid fatigue, especially with the Libertadores final ahead, on October 29.

Brazilian football
Shirt 10 is one of the great names of Verdão
Great shirt 10 of Palmeiras, current leader of the Brasileirão, Rony may be leaving Brazilian football to live a new challenge in his career. One of the main names in Abel Ferreira’s team, ESPN Brasil reports that a Qatari club could make official a great proposal and take Rony out of the São Paulo giant in the coming months.
According to the source, Rony’s staff gave the green light for a Qatari club to advance interest in the striker. The source also claims that the value of the purchase of shirt 10 can reach 15 million euros (more than R$ 78 million). The agreement between the parties can be sealed in the coming months.
The name of the interested party is still a big question for everyone. There is also no information on whether Palmeiras will accept such a price to sell the player, although the figures are quite high for Brazil’s standards and, above all, for a 27-year-old striker.
Rony has been defending the colors of Palmeiras for two seasons and is the top scorer in the club’s history in Libertadores, a competition that was champion twice in a row, being one of the greats of Abel Ferreira’s team.
palm trees
Palmeiras, who fell in Libertadores, will return to the field next Saturday, at home, against the Juventude team, the lantern of the Brasileirão.

Biden Mocked for Minuscule Crowd 2 Days After Trump Drew Thousands in the Same State
President Joe Biden was mocked last week for the sparse number of supporters he drew to his campaign speech only days after former President Donald Trump drew thousands to his rally in Pennsylvania — Biden’s home turf.
Despite the spectacle of Biden’s vein-popping, red-faced, fists of fury speeches where he labels MAGA voters as terrorists, he doesn’t seem to be able to fill a venue with supporters.
On Labor Day, for instance, “Scranton Joe” Biden visited West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, to stump for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and the crowd seemed “pitifully small,” as the Daily Mail noted.
The Mail lit into Biden in its very first sentence setting the “pitiful” scene saying, “A minuscule crowd showed up for one of President Joe Biden’s Labor Day rallies in Pennsylvania Monday.”
“The crowd, which could be described as being in the dozens, gathered outside of the United Steelworkers of America Local Union 2227 hall in West Mifflin, a town southeast of Pittsburgh,” the paper wrote. “While some professional photos from the event concealed just how sparse the crowd was, others showed the paltry number of people who showed up to hear the president’s words.”
Video and photos of the event confirmed the Mail’s dismal assessment of the crowd.

The Pennsylvania speech was not the only Biden event over the last week that struggled to get supporters. The president’s speech in Milwaukee was also sparsely attended, as Benny Johnson noted in his tweet contrasting Biden’s crowd to Trump’s crowd.

On the other hand, when Trump visited Wilkes-Barre Township in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Newsweek Magazine noted that Trump drew thousands more than Biden. And Yahoo News had to admit that Trump’s audience quickly surged to maximum capacity at the 8,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena where the event was held.
TV station WYOU also pointed out that the parking lot outside Trump’s rally “hit maximum capacity as supporters from across the nation came out to attend a rally hosted by Donald Trump the 45th president of the United States.”
Granted this is no scientific comparison, but the fact that Trump, who has been out of office for two years already, drew many times more supporters than Biden is incredible. Especially considering the fact that the woke news media have spent most of the last decade in a desperate attempt to destroy the man.
Finally, the irony here is delicious. You may recall how the left-wing media went wild to attack Trump for supposedly having a small crowd at his 2017 inauguration? Now, you’ll notice how quiet the media is over the crowd sizes at the speeches in Pennsylvania over the last few days.
You can bet that if Biden had a sea of thousands of supporters, but Trump only had a few hundred — or dozens — the media would be making that a prime focus for their coverage.

Authorities in Shenzhen will “temporarily” reduced the city’s daily quarantine quota for Hong Kong arrivals from yesterday before halving it to 1,000 by the start of next week, the South China Post has reported. A check of the Shenzhen municipal government’s website by SCMP found that the total number of available units per day at the city’s designated quarantine facilities had dropped to 1,800 for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, reaching 1,500 on Sunday, before hitting 1,000 on Monday and Tuesday. A ccording to the paper, Guangdong government source this week said the temporary reduction in quarantine spaces for Hong Kong travelers heading to the mainland was a precautionary measure, as Shenzhen needed to mobilize more resources to contain Covid-19 cases in the city.

Americans still die of covid, at least 400 to 500 per day. The Centers for Disease Control tells us exposure no longer requires quarantine, and for the public generally, everyone’s so done with masks. That’s the state of the disease for us proles – do nothing to prevent catching it, while hoping, irrationally, that you won’t. Things are quite different at higher media and political altitudes. Though proconsuls featured in his news empire have been known to belittle the covid shot, reactionary mogul Rupert Murdoch has always, reportedly, been quite cautious about the disease, with underlings allegedly vaxxed and masked, before contact with him. The same holds true in the presidential aerie. Indeed, throughout most of Biden’s rule, anyone who wanted a session with him had to be tested and wear an N95 mask. Nothing relaxed about precautions for the man at the top. You can be sure that if one of his assistants is exposed to the virus, he or she isolates for a long while before being permitted back into the presidential presence.
Meanwhile covid was the third leading cause of death in 2020 and 2021, according to the National Institutes of Health. But Health System Tracker on March 24 announced different results: “Nearly as many people died of Covid-19 in February 2022 as the typical deaths from heart disease. We also find that in January 2022, Covid-19 was the number 1 cause of death for people age 45-84 and in the top 4 leading causes of death for other age groups.” Currently, this outlet reports, the virus kills over 1000 people per day and on average in 2021 killed more people per day than cancer. Not saying the official 500 per day death count is wrong or deliberately misleads, but I just thought I’d throw these different numbers out there. Statistics vary, because statistics lie. The rosiest statistics lie the most brazenly.
Covid finished off 1.04 million Americans, the highest toll of any nation and hardly an advertisement for the public health system in the heart of the Exceptional Empire. Compare that to China’s 5200 covid deaths out of a population of 1.4 billion. The U.S. population clocks in at 330 million. Which country took this lethal virus seriously enough to protect its citizens? Hint, not the capitalist behemoth, with patients intubated from sea to shining sea.
Keep in mind that right now, with 95 percent of its population NOT in lockdown, China has zero covid deaths in the last 100 days. Things are quite different in the Exceptional Empire. Here, in the U.S. in the last 100 days, with 100 percent of its people NOT in lockdown, Amurica has had 50,000 covid deaths. But that barely dents the self-righteous, Sinophobic media ballyhoo.
What does China get for its heroic anti-coronavirus efforts? A constant beating in the western right-wing press. Its public health miracle is held up as having transformed the nation into a gulag (this from journalists whose U.S. “homeland” in fact features a real, live, out-and out carceral state gulag) and as proof of its hopelessly authoritarian governance. But I doubt Chinese leaders care what American free-market lunatics think. They clearly staked out their job as protecting the public health of their people, something we Americans can only dream of. Our rulers screech “get back to work! If you drop dead, them’s the breaks.” China’s response betokens far more civilization: “Don’t spread it, and get better soon.”
As of Labor Day, the city of Chengdu was under lockdown – the bugaboo of the American right, because lockdowns are, simply, bad for the people who fund the American right, namely, business. The fact that Beijing doesn’t fear lockdowns and imposes them when it deems necessary profoundly offends American corporate bigwigs, whose rightist stenographers shriek about this supposed communist barbarity. Imagine, forcing people to attend to their health, instead of looking out for big business! The nerve of such people!
But hey, if you think it’s only far-right psychos sour on the prospect of enforced public health, think again. Here’s the New York Times on September 5: “Problems have already appeared. Some residents have complained on social media of long delays in food deliveries. Over the weekend, Chengdu’s Covid testing system — which has been tasked with swabbing all of the city’s 21 million residents every day — collapsed, leaving residents waiting in line for hours.” The falsehood is the same, repeatedly – lockdowns or any rigorous public health measures don’t work and, by implication, neither does anything under communism. Better to just throw up your hands and figure you’ll be another covid statistic. We’re all going to die someday, anyway.
Many no doubt wonder how this lousy deal for Americans could get any worse. You wonder? I’ll tell you: a congress that won’t fund further vaccine research. For months, to its credit, the Biden team has asked for money for this, because they know, as does anyone with functioning gray cells, that covid is here to stay and the best way to save lives is to prevent it. But congress ain’t interested. Too busy enriching its defense contract donors, I guess, with more bombs and rockets for Ukraine. GOP congress critters keep one eye on nutcase anti-vaxxers, a critical clique in their base. Dem politicos are, as mentioned, fully focused on provoking Russia on its borders. Both wings of the bipartisan war party beat the tom-toms for military assault on China, because it might, someday, attack Taiwan, an island as beloved by our congress as Puerto Rico. So no, Biden can’t get any congressional takers for funding putative covid vaccine research.
Meanwhile on June 7, Scientific American reported what anyone with a brain can deduce: “The death rate among unvaccinated people is still far higher than among the vaccinated.” True, the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission or illness. But it does decrease the severity of the disease and the death rate. Given that this virus is now endemic, anyone without a death wish probably received the shot. The article quotes U.S. Public Health Service commander Heather Scobie: “Unvaccinated people 12 years and older had 17 times the rate of Covid-associated deaths, compared to people vaccinated with a primary series and booster dose…Unvaccinated people had eight times the rate of death as compared to people who only had a primary series.” So boosters help, big-time.
Despite such stats, millions still succumb to the anti-vax hallucination. That’s about to get worse. Those numbers will surely skyrocket as the new vaccine, tailored to omicron, now rolls out. The fact that it will not have completed human trials until months after release will doubtless inflame anti-vax suspicions. And it’s probably useless to argue that this has long been routine for the yearly flu shot – it’s tweaked in animal trials then delivered to the public. But anti-vax fanatics certainly regard the flu vaccine with the same paranoia as any other medical innovation, you know, like injections that prevent tetanus, meningitis or diphtheria, so don’t waste your breath.
Peter Marks, top vaccine official at the FDA was cited by the Washington Post August 31, saying the new shots “could better protect people from ‘long covid,’ an unexplained constellation of symptoms that includes fatigue, memory loss and chest pain…” Let’s hope he’s right. Long covid is a curse, and according to the CDC, one in 13 American adults has it. U.S. News says it potentially afflicts up to 23 million Americans. That’s called a public health disaster.
Another covid catastrophe – for the second year, American life expectancy plummeted: “This is the biggest continuous decline in life expectancy at birth since the beginning of the Roaring Twenties,” reported the Post August 31. “Overall life expectancy dropped from 77 years in 2020 to 76.1 years in 2021.” The article adds that “Native Americans forfeited nearly two years of life. White people had the second biggest drop, losing a full year of life expectancy, while Black people lost 0.7 years.” The Post quotes a demographer who notes that in some countries, life expectancy increased, but “That’s not us.” No, it sure isn’t. You can thank our brainwashing with wild-west capitalism for that.
“We’re not going to eradicate the virus,” Dr. Anthony Fauci warned back in 2020. Prescient then, this remark now evokes a “duh” response. Covid is here in the U.S. to stay – permanently. This is a complete public health failure caused by our extreme economic-political arrangement, aka the so-called free market. Just to make sure you got the message about covid’s immutable persistence, Fauci repeated his warning to Yahoo Finance August 30: “We’re not going to eradicate the virus from the face of the earth. I don’t believe we’re even going to eliminate it from this country to the tune of getting zero cases.”
Really, who could think the U.S., with more covid infections and deaths than any nation on earth, is a candidate for coronavirus eradication? You’d need 100 percent vaccination even to begin the eradication conversation, but only 67.4 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated, while only 48.5 percent of those received a first booster. Besides, the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission, infection, illness or even death. So no. Humanity lost this one. Unfettered monopolistic America worst of all. We’re saddled with covid for the foreseeable future.
Making matters worse is the stew of confusion average Americans find themselves cooking in. And not just caused by anti-vax quackery. According to the Washington Post August 25, “Twitter labeled factual information about covid-19 as misinformation.” Go twitter. Let the florid psychotics mouth off and make imbeciles of themselves throughout the platform, while the experts languish in twitter jail. Well, nobody ever said social media was about making things better.
“Doctors, scientists and advocates attempting to warn the public about the dangers of the virus had tweets flagged and accounts suspended.” Though twitter later removed the labels and restored the accounts, this mix-up serves only to befuddle a populace already staggering under a huge load of lies, myths and conspiracy madness. According to one doctor/molecular biologist: “It shows you how disorganized the monitoring of information on Twitter is. They’re just in disarray.”
Also in the not-helpful category – on September 2 the free, at-home, rapid coronavirus test distribution program ended. This dangerously effective public health project showered the populace with 600 million coronavirus tests, after it started on January 19. But, surprise! Congress didn’t see fit to continue funding the stockpile. Apparently, Congress succumbed to neoliberal, late-capitalist brainwashing, like most of the country, and now considers the pandemic over. Hello? Thousands dead every week? That doesn’t sound like “over” to me.
To restate the obvious, people still die of the coronavirus in large numbers. Their mourners, NBC reported on August 27, who make the mistake of looking for sympathy online, often get harassed by trolls. “Instead of condolences, some people who post about the death of loved ones receive hateful and mocking comments.” Well, if it’s not one thing with this pandemic, it’s another. This abuse reportedly never happened before covid. It’s a poisonous gallimaufry of monopoly capitalist indoctrination and a killer virus, which lures all the creeps out of the woodwork.
As Jeffrey St. Clair reported August 26 here in CounterPunch: “The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, 25% of global covid deaths, 23% of covid cases and 35% of all Monkeypox cases.” The U.S. is a public health fiasco, courtesy of its inhuman economic system. The capitalist ideologues who infest our government are incapable of coping with disease. In a word, they are incompetent. So no, in this country, covid isn’t going anywhere. It’ll keep killing. And it will kill the fools who don’t wear masks or get vaccinated faster than anybody.

As strategists respond to their client's needs to adapt to the impacts of a changing world, the strategy function has gained value and influence, but talent shortages are proving to be a top concern for strategists. These are some of the findings included in The Future of Strategy 2022 report.
Anna Hamill, senior editor - brands, Warc, says, “As the economic downturn hits the industry and new priorities arise around data, sustainability and measurement, the report looks at how strategy careers are evolving, the biggest topics impacting the function and what strategists need to do to meet high client expectations in an uncertain world.”
Covering the big issues defining marketing, such as economic downturn, career development, measurement and diversity, the report uncovers insights and opportunities of today’s strategist.
Key takeaways include:
Strategists are finding that their expertise is more essential than ever given the global upheaval of the last few years. Strategists feel optimistic about their ability to provide value and influence clients and other agency teams.
Tomas Gonsorcik, incoming chief strategy officer, DDB North America, says, “We are going through a great realignment of societal priorities and, as a young leader, I am energised by the possibilities to create a better model for brands and for the economy in which they grow. Strategists can shape the future of brands and businesses.”
A talent shortage is impacting the industry. Generalist skills are on the rise as clients look for strategists with a wide range of knowledge, but agencies are concerned their proposition may not be as strong as competitors such as tech companies or consultancies.
Nearly half (46%) of strategists are concerned about being able to find the right talent. That’s despite more than half (57%) saying they plan to hire new talent to address current capability gaps. And just 30% of respondents expect their next strategy role to be in an agency, with consultancies and brands competing for strategy talent.
Agathe Guerrier, global chief strategy officer, TBWA\Worldwide, says, “What our clients are really asking us now is for simplification and integration. I'm personally finding that it's more important to have people who have quite a broad skill set and are able to connect the dots.”
A better understanding of the ‘upstream’ challenges CMOs are facing and how their business measures success will offer more opportunities to drive effectiveness.
Working on upstream business problems was selected by 49% of respondents in 2022 – a 10 percentage point increase on last year, reflecting a desire to advise brands through a tumultuous period of change.
Chrissie Hanson, chief executive officer, OMD USA, says, “The biggest opportunity is probably clients inviting us more to be true partners and transformation leaders. That opens an aperture to bring that problem-solving skill set and wider vantage point to the table.”
Global challenges such as sustainability, the need for more diversity, privacy and data ethics are all impacting the strategist’s day-to-day role. However, the cost-of-living crisis will have the biggest impact in the next year as clients look to respond to changing consumer behaviours.
86% of respondents anticipate the cost-of-living crisis will have a significant or transformative impact in the next year and 69% believe that it will be at the centre of marketing communications - from tone to briefs, to insight generation and brand building.
Hans Lopez Vito, regional chief operating officer, BBDO Asia, says, “The most significant change that our industry needs to contend with is this new era of slower growth... For a market long accustomed to double-digit levels of growth in consumer spending, the new economic realities feel like a recession.”
Helping a brand 'show up' in responsible and ethical ways for the climate, sustainability and diversity is important for moving action on these issues forward.
Brands expect strategists to deliver insights which help their brand act authentically and communicate sensitively in these spaces. A significant majority of strategists expect sustainability (82%) and DEI considerations (70%) to be more visible in client marketing strategies and briefs.
Jo Arden, chief strategy officer at Ogilvy UK, says, “We've got a responsibility to help brands land and communicate their commitment to sustainability. I don't think it's always in consumer advertising, it can be in corporate communications or the way that their CRM is structured.”
Diversity, equity and inclusion is a topic of conversation but there is still a distinct lack of progress at an industry level so far. More tangible changes in hiring and insight gathering will be needed to serve clients more effectively on these issues.
Huiwen Tow, head of strategy - Apac, Virtue Worldwide, says, “Clients know that it's socially unacceptable to not have DEI as part of your agenda…it doesn’t necessarily mean that clients understand how to truly deliver on DEI.”
At the same time, survey data indicates that agencies still lack diversity in their own teams – representing a challenge in developing truly diverse insights and advice for brands.
Summing up, Warc’s Anna Hamill says, “This year’s Future of Strategy reveals how strategists increased their influence with clients and delivered valuable insight through the Covid-19 pandemic. The function is well placed to advise on the constant evolution of the media ecosystem and help brands navigate new priorities, especially in a time of ongoing uncertainty.”
“However, strategy skill sets are in high demand, as brands and consultancies compete for top talent. Agencies will need to ensure they can offer an ideal environment for strategists to thrive if they want to deliver the best work,” Hamill continues.
The entire Future of Strategy 2022 report, which includes quantitative and qualitative data analysis and advice, is available to Warc subscribers.
A Future of Strategy podcast will be released mid-October.

COCHISE COUNTY — Can the Buena Colts knock off the Marana Tigers in their home opener?
Will the St. David Tigers and Willcox Cowboys remain unbeaten?
Those questions will be answered Friday night in football action around Cochise County.
Douglas, coming off its big win over Bisbee, has a bye this week.
Below is a recap of this week’s upcoming football games.
Marana (1-0) at Buena (1-0)
It wasn’t the prettiest Week One win, but the 1-0 Colts are marching on to their matchup against the Marana Tigers with confidence.
Opening game jitters were evident at the start of the Colts’ contest against Sahuarita last Friday, but Buena bounced back in the second half to outscore Sahuarita 21-0 to win the game 27-9. That game is in the past.
The Colts spent this week with their eyes on the Tigers.
“I don’t think these guys are going to overlook Marana, so they’ll take it a little more seriously,” Buena coach Joe Thomas said.
Thomas and the team know Marana is a true test for the young Buena squad. Marana enters Friday’s game off a road win at Mountain View Marana. Marana threw the ball for 329 yards in its win against Mountain View Marana.
“They are going to want to throw the ball a lot, which is OK,” Thomas said. “Our DBs weren’t tested as much as I’d like against Sahuarita, but they will be on Friday.”
While on paper it seems rather clear what Marana’s offensive plan will be, Buena plans to keep the playbook wide open.
“We want to keep their defense guessing a little bit,” Thomas said. “We’ve got to get a body on a body. So that we can put our backs in position to be successful and move the ball around.”
Andres Bonilla had 111 yards rushing on 16 carries last week and expected to have another big game. It’s not a secret the Tigers defense will have its sights on him.
“They still have to stop him,” Thomas said when asked about his plan for Bonilla. “Once he gets going, he’s hard to stop.”
If the Tigers can keep Bonilla contained, Nash Moore proved last week he’s up for the challenge, whether that’s running the ball or looking downfield for an open receiver. Moore had 108 passing yards and 77 yards rushing against Sahuarita.
The Colts’ defense left little to question. The defensive line had most of the tackles, which is unorthodox for the team, but it did what they had to do.
“On the defensive side we have to be disciplined,” Thomas said. “I like our defensive line against their offensive line.”
The Colts defense will have to be quick to limit the Tigers’ passing game and pressuring the quarterback if the Colts want a chance to win in front of their home crowd.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Loveless stadium. The game will also serve as a salute to service members. Fans are encouraged to wear their red, white or blue Colts gear and special military pricing tickets can be purchased on GoFan.
Benson (2-1) at Bisbee (1-1)
Benson and Bisbee suffered disappointing losses last week.
One of these teams probably will realize a second straight loss Friday night when the teams meet at 7 p.m. at the Warren Ballpark.
Benson fell to Willcox 56-25, ending its 10-year hold on the Seney-Lohman trophy, which goes to the winner of the matchup.
Bisbee, meanwhile, hosted rival Douglas in the 152nd meeting for the coveted Copper Pick and lost 10-8, allowing The Pick to remain in Douglas for a second straight year.
“Coming off such an emotional loss, the true test of our team’s resolve will be how we respond against Benson,” Bisbee coach Brian Vertrees said. “This week our guys have brought energy and focus to practice, but I’m sure Benson has done the same this week. The difference will be with who can dial up the energy again at game time this week and execute better.
“Benson is a well-coached team with some talented players and a winning pedigree. They are scheme sound on both sides of the ball and play hard. It is going to be another battle for us this week for sure, and we have to show up to play four good quarters again this week to have a shot. I think we have a lot of competitors in this group and have no doubt we will show up ready to play.”
The Benson Bobcats have had six days to reflect on their loss to Willcox Cowboys on Sept. 2.
There were some positive takeaways for Benson; for one, it got a little passing game going.
The crowd, and the Cowboys initially, were surprised when the Bobcats offense, led by quarterback Dalton Crocket, put on a series of successful passing assaults.
Crocket, who was atop his section in passing yards after two games, added another 161 passing yards and is now the No. 2 passer in Cochise County behind St. David’s Ryan Gooding. Crockett 29 completions for 415 yards.
The QB’s favorite targets are Aiden Finch (nine receptions, 129 yards) and Kohen Frost (39 yards).
Sequoia Pathway (2-0) at Willcox (2-0)
The Willcox Cowboys return home following their big win over Benson to take on Maricopa Sequoia Pathway in a battle of unbeaten.
In its wins over Goodyear Trivium Prep and Tombstone Sequoia Pathway has an 87-21 scoring advantage.
Thanks to their performances against Benson, WHS senior Ayden Fuentes (383 yards) and junior Cristian Pando (331 yards) are Cochise County’s top rushers. The duo has combined for 13 touchdowns and has proven difficult to stop.
This game could be quite the test for Willcox but playing at home could work in its favor.
“One game at a time,” Cowboys coach Eric Hjalmarson said following the win against the Bobcats.
“You know we got tough games, you know Sequoia Pathway is good, then Morenci is very, very good and Pima, Pima is the real deal, too, so you know, we’re trying. One game at a time. Things are working well right now.”
Kickoff is 7 p.m.
St. David (3-0) at Duncan (1-2)
What was supposed to have been a close game last week between 2-0 St. David and 2-0 Bagdad turned into a 50-point blowout for St. David as the Tigers rolled 70-20.
While happy with the win, St. David coach Braden Davis saw some things on film the next morning that concern him as the Tigers prepare for a road trip to Duncan.
“We did not play great run defense against Bagdad,” he said. “We forced some turnovers and had others handed right to us, but we did not do as well as we’d hoped at stopping their running game. We will get better in that area. We did a lot of things well defensively, and certainly played hard and aggressive, but gave up too many chunk plays.
“It might seem pessimistic to get too critical of our offense since we scored on every drive except the last one, but we definitely had some miscues, missed assignments and bad play calls that we’ll need to tighten up as we move forward.”
Davis describes Duncan as a formidable opponent that is scrappy, physical and typically plays well at home.
“They have quick running backs, a very fast receiver, and a small, dynamic quarterback who scrambles well to create plays,” Davis said. “He also throws a good ball, and we will have our hands full containing him. We feel like we can win the line of scrimmage and hopefully keep them on their heels. We’re a little banged up and have had some guys out sick, so we’ll need some second unit guys to really step up and play well for us in various roles this week. This is a (1A South) Region game for us, of course, so we must win if we hope to sweep the South again.”
Globe (1-1) at Tombstone (0-2)
After spending two of the first three weeks of the season on the road and having a bye week, the Tombstone Yellow Jackets have their home opener against the Globe Tigers. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
Tombstone began the season with a 20-16 loss to Benson, had a bye week, then lost last week to Maricopa Sequoia Pathway 32-14 on the road.
Globe defeated Santa Rita 40-0 in its season opener Aug. 26 but then lost to the American Leadership Academy — Ironwood 32-6 last Friday.
Tombstone’s coaches and players are excited to be playing at home and believe they can pick up their first win of the season.
Valley Union (0-3) at Sells Baboquivari (1-2)
The Valley Union Blue Devils have been struggling under first-year coach Skyler Hill.
In the first three games Valley Union has been outscored 138-0.
Baboquivari beat Fort Thomas 50-6 in its season opener but has dropped two straight, losing to St. David 58-6 and Desert Heights Prep Academy of Phoenix 44-6.

EPHA has signed the joint statement of the EU4Health Civil Society Alliance calling for the European Commission to include Operating Grants for health NGOs in the EU4Health 2023 Work Programme.
Operating Grants are the sole financial mechanism allowing health NGOs, civil society organisations, and professional and patient groups to play an independent, constructive and meaningful role in EU policymaking. While these grants were reinstated and their value recognized within the EU4Health Work Programme 2022, so far, there is no clear commitment to continue this vital source of funding beyond 2022.
Operating Grants are key to supporting health NGOs as they help to ensure people’s voices are heard in EU health policymaking, preserve the NGOs’ independence, and provide them with financial certainty and sustainability. Operating Grants also ensure that NGOs continue to stand ready to support citizens during regular and crisis times.
The joint statement, therefore, calls for the continuation of the Operating Grants as a financial mechanism providing a strong foundation for health organisations’ contribution to EU policy processes beyond 2022. Additionally, the EU4Health Civil Society Alliance calls for the inclusion of a 3-4-year multi-annual framework agreement for Operating Grants in the EU4Health Work Programme 2023.

Chingiz Allazov is ready for the most daunting task of his fighting career so far, as he looks to dethrone reigning ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon Singha Mawynn at ONE on Prime Video 2: Xiong vs. Lee III.
The 29-year-old Belarusian striker enters the fight as a massive underdog against perhaps the pound-for-pound best kickboxer on the planet.
Superbon has wreaked havoc in the division so far, winning his first three fights in the circle with relative ease. His terrifying head-kick knockout of Giorgio Petrosyan last year is arguably one of the most vicious finishes in combat sports history.
While no one has been able to take away Superbon’s aura of invincibility just yet, Chingiz Allazov says it would be foolish to count him out.
Ahead of his world title opportunity, the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix winner made it clear that he is not intimidated by the Thai superstar’s kick-heavy style and flash knockout power.
The fearless challenger told ONE:
“[Superbon] has good kicks, I have the same good kicks. He has good boxing, but I have two-to-three times better boxing than him, and more power than him. In this sport, it comes down to who is clever, who is more powerful, who has more timing, and who has a good game plan.”
Chingiz Allazov is not lying about having serious power in his hands. The No.1-ranked featherweight kickboxer has quite the highlight reel of his own, including this textbook left hook to the body that dropped Samy Sana to his knees.
Check out Allazov’s destructive power in this fight-ending blow:
Chingiz Allazov has found his stride inside the circle
It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing for Chingiz Allazov when he made his promotional debut last year at ONE on TNT 1.
The Gridin Gym representative just couldn’t find his groove against Enriko Kehl and came out on the short end of a split decision verdict.
After that loss, Allazov entered the Grand Prix with a massive chip on his shoulder. He vented his ire on Sana’s ribs and finished off the Algerian-French fighter in less than a round.
With Marat Grigorian being forced out of the tournament due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Jo Nattawut stepped in to fight Allazov in the semifinal round. The Belarusian striker overwhelmed his opponent with powerful combinations for another first-round finish.
Allazov then defied the odds when he captured the silver belt by outclassing tournament favorite Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong in the Grand Prix final at ONE X.
Now just one win away from his ultimate goal, Allazov promises to leave everything on the line against Superbon.
He said:
“I am focused on him completely. I will not fight him like I have fought the others. I will work with him. Maybe if he makes a mistake, maybe I can land a kick or punch that will get a knockout.”

With the death of the world's second longest-reigning monarch on September 8, the crown was immediately passed on to her eldest son and heir, Charles, as part of the United Kingdom’s constitutional monarchy system. The death of Elizabeth II is likely to cause a huge cultural, social and political shift in Britain and, of course, in the Commonwealth countries. However, while it is clear that her son Charles will take over as the King, many are curious to understand the difference between the queen and Queen consort.
Notably, with Charles becoming the King, his wife Camilla will now be formally known as Queen Consort, a title that came with Queen Elizabeth II's backing after years of contention. Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will be known as Queen Consort, however, the title would not provide her any sovereign's powers.
Earlier in February, the late Queen Elizabeth II in a message shared her wishes with public and announced that she wanted Camilla to have the title of Queen Consort when Charles becomes the King. In simple words, the title Queen Consort is the title of the wife of a reigning King. Notably, while wives of Kings are known as Queens Consort, the husbands of reigning Queens are known as Princes Consort.
The consort does not have a formal meaning in the royal family structure but is symbolic of the support the person gives to the monarch.
Many believe that the title of Queen Consort is a compromised title to Camilla, the second wife of King Charles, majorly because of her complicated reputation in the general public and the sensitivity regarding her status. Camilla and Charles faced a lot of criticism for their affair and their long-running intimate relationship before and during Charles's marriage to Princess Diana, who was loved and admired in Britain a lot. In fact, Camilla was also married to Army officer Andrew Parker Bowles.
However, after decades of her marriage to King Charles, Camilla since Diana’s death improved her image in public opinion, but there is still much debate on the fact that whether she deserves the title of the Queen Consort or not.

The fourth floor of the Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts building on the corner of Eighth and Cumberland streets in Lebanon is filled with five gallon buckets of tiles sorted by color.
“It's the stuff people throw out,” said Sharon Zook, President of the Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts, describing the tiles. “That's how we started at first because it's actually quite inexpensive.”
For the fifth summer in a row, Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts sponsored a mosaic installation in Lebanon, this year on the side of their own building. However, the normally two-week project, which started on July 18, was held up due to city regulations and was not finished until August 26.
This year’s project “Where There is Art, There is Life” features a mandala forming a sun to honor former board member Angela Funk, who died of cancer last year.
Fittingly, Zook also said members of the community remember Funk for creating mandala stones.
Zook said her organization surveys the public to find out what they’d like to see in their community for each year’s mosaic.
“We took several photos of some of Angie's artwork along with the vision statement and survey results and then showed them to an artist [Amanda Zook] who is pretty good at conceptualizing random constructs,” Zook said.
Michaelanne Helms, a mosaic artist who helped with past installations and consulted on this year’s project, explained that mosaic designs are put on one-inch scaled paper with a grid. Then, artists put a chalk grid line on the wall, sketch design elements and add labels to mark texture and colors.
Helms explained that she learned how to work with mosaics from Isaiah Zagar – the artist behind Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens – and shared her techniques with Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts. Helms was also responsible for providing the first truckload of tiles from Philadelphia for the project, Zook said.
Artists break the tiles with a hammer and then use tile nippers to get them to the proper shape. Finally, the artists place the tile pieces on the wall using a tile adhesive, Zook said.
“So your color is determined ultimately by the colors of the tiles and how you mix them,” she said. “You can't just blend to get your shadows, so you really need to have multiple different colors of tile.”
Four local high school students started working on this year’s installation on July 18.
“It is so cool that you can take a tile, break it with a hammer and put it together in a new way to make art,” said Ren Flores, a Lebanon High School Junior who is helping for the third year.
Artists do sections referred to as “key pieces” in advance on a mesh and then place them on the wall, Zook said. Key pieces in this year’s project included a basket and the circles of the mandala.
Once all the tiles are on the wall, volunteers put grout – a mixture of concrete and sand – onto the tiles then gently wipe it away using sponges, which helps hold the tiles in place, Zook said. She added that they can tint the grout with paint to achieve a specific finishing color choice.
Zook and her team started working on the project on July 18 and finished the final grouting stage on Aug. 25.
A snag in the process
Previous mosaics took about a week to install, and the process included getting local children involved to teach them how mosaics are created and have them help installing the actual mosaic, Zook explained.
This year's design process started earlier than previous years because it incorporated elements of a previous artist's work. Zook had to get approval from the current City of Lebanon Street Mural Application, which can take up to 30 days. Zook filed her application July 8, but said she had to resubmit the application again with more information on July 10.
“Normally we just gave them the dates as to when this was going to happen and sent the design concept over the weekend before it was going to be done,” Zook said. “We don't usually have the luxury of time for these kinds of things or the pressure of this where it has to go through a whole committee before you know if it's going to be allowed or permitted.”
Janelle Mendoff, Lebanon’s Community and Economic Development Administrator, sent Zook an email on July 10 saying the design review board has 30 days to review the completed application, Zook said.
Lebanon Mayor Sherri Capello, however, said Zook was informed on July 28 that city officials needed more information before the board could make a recommendation.
Zook said city officials notified her on July 18 – the day she and the high school students started work on the mosaic – that work to install the installation had to stop. The board then sent Zook a series of follow-up questions on July 28, and she sent responses on July 29th. Capello said the city considered the application complete once Zook answered those questions, putting the approval process within the 30-day limit listed on the application.
“There were several board members on vacation and thus, it ended up taking 17 days from the time the information requested was received,” Capello said.
City officials gave Zook final approval to complete the installation on Aug. 18.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's international airport in Aleppo is to resume business on Friday after the facility was put out of commission by an Israeli missile attack, the country's transport ministry said.
The ministry said in a statement carried by state media that the damage has been fixed and called on airline companies to resume their flights to the city in northern Syria.
Israel launched a missile attack on Tuesday night targeting Aleppo's airport for the second time in a week and all flights were diverted to the capital Damascus.
The Israeli strike tore large craters in three spots on the facility's runway, satellite images analyzed Thursday by The Associated Press show.
The satellite images from Planet Labs PBC taken Wednesday show the airport’s single east-west runway bore three new craters. Vehicles and workers surrounded the two of the craters while the one furthest east had no traffic near it.
Israel also launched airstrikes at Aleppo airport last week, damaging its runway and, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, a warehouse that likely stored a shipment of Iranian rockets.
Last week’s strike tore a hole in the runway and also damaged a structure close to the military side of the airfield, satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press showed.
“The airport will be working at full capacity to serve passengers and airline companies around the clock,” said the Transport Ministry adding that work will resume at noon Friday (0900 GMT).
On June 10, Israeli airstrikes that struck Damascus International Airport caused significant damage to infrastructure and runways and rendered the main runway unserviceable. The airport opened two weeks later following renovation work.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of Syria in recent years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.
Israel has acknowledged, however, that it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.

Uzodimma, also the Chairman of APC Presidential Campaign Council in the South-East, said this at a seminar organised by the party for its candidates in Owerri.
APC will triumph in South-East in 2023 poll says Uzodimma
Gov. Hope Uzodimma of Imo, says the All Progressives Congress (APC), will triumph in the South-East in the 2023 general election, because it is the only party with structures in all the 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the country.
Recommended articles
” APC is already winning and will win in the South-East because APC is the only political party that has party structure at the polling units and booths in all 774 LGAs of the country, “ he said.
Uzodimma said that the seminar was aimed at planning for a successful electioneering campaigns for 2023 poll.
“The participants must carry others along as they cannot lead or win elections in isolation,” he said.
He said that the South-East has every cause to appreciate what President Muhammadu Buhari has done for the zone in his almost eight years as the President of Nigeria.
He listed the president’s achievements in the South-East to include the second Niger Bridge and the rehabilitation of the Federal Highways in the zone.
Others were the establishment of a Naval Base in Oguta LGA of Imo as well as the on-going reconstruction of 200 bed hospital at Imo University Teaching Hospital Orlu by NNPC, among others.
He cautioned members of the party against deceit by groups who often claim to support the South-East Presidency after they failed to support aspirants from the zone at the presidential primaries of the APC.
“The Igbo people have been a victim of mistaken identity. There is the need for the South-East to take their destiny in their own hands because if you don’t say I am, nobody will say you are,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the seminar was attended by executives and members of the APC across the South-East as well as present and former political office holders of the party.

Floral tributes for The Queen are already being left outside Bristol Cathedral. Several buckets of roses, sunflowers and other types of flowers could be seen outside the Cathedral this morning (September 9).
Bristol City Council has asked that anyone wishing to lay floral tributes in memory of The Queen lays them at the West End of Bristol Cathedral. Books of condolence will also be available at City Hall and Bristol Cathedral alongside a Bristol e-book, and a national e-book of condolence.
Floral tributes to The Queen are being left across the country and, last night, thousands gathered outside Buckingham Palace in central London. Floral tributes have been left outside the black iron gates, with similar scenes outside the queen's Windsor Castle home.

The UK is in mourning after Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday (September 8) at the age of 96. Elizabeth II, 96, was the nation’s longest-reigning monarch, serving as head of state for more than 70 years.
As the nation - and the world - comes to turn with the passing of the country's longest-reigning monarch, tributes to the Queen have been flooding in from across Bristol and beyond. The Queen's first-born son, Charles, has now become King and will be known as King Charles III. He paid tribute to his "beloved mother" yesterday evening.
In South Gloucestershire, books of condolence will be opened in the council’s Badminton Road offices, Yate and the Civic Centre, Kingswood, at 9am on Saturday, September 10. The books will remain open every day from 9am to 5pm until Tuesday, September 20.
In North Somerset, books of condolence will open at the Town Hall and Castlewood today (September 9). People will be able to record their tributes in the books between 9am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.
A spokesperson said: "In addition to these, town and parish councils in our area are also providing their own Books of Condolence, and have designated areas where you can lay floral tributes if you wish.
"If you are leaving a floral tribute please remove the cellophane, ribbons and any wire. This is so we can compost the floral tributes and plant a tree in memory of The Queen.
"An electronic Book of Condolence is also available on the Royal Family website."

An extreme body modification fan has just hinted his next procedure.
Anthony Loffredo, famously known as The Black Alien Project, is on a quest to achieve an extra-terrestrial image.
The Frenchman has inked his eyeball and covered himself head-to-toe in tattoos with various implants.

Now Anthony, who also has a split tongue, has left fans speculating his future plans.
In a Instagram post to his 1.3million followers, he shared an image of two legs, with one chopped in half.
His caption read: "I will be ready one day. Black Alien Project Evolution 45%. Black Alien Project Re-evolution 6%."
Anthony's project began at the age of 24 and in the space of 10 years he's achieved a lot.
Despite chopping off two of his fingers, the tattoo fanatic has faced criticism since revealing plans to amputate one of his legs.
The post racked up over 53,000 likes and hundreds of comments as one wrote: "Dude don't f***ing do that."
While another added: "There are lines… and this is crossing it. And no. Not in a good way."
A third blasted: "You want to actually disable yourself?"
While a fourth commented: "Interesting, it's your life, your body," another joked: "The one leg project."
He previously admitted his transformation has been hard for his mum as he's changed so much.
But despite the initial shock, the Black Alien now has a positive relationship wit his family members.
Previously the tattoo addict revealed he can't get a job because people "judge" his extreme look.
"This type of change, it's not just a tattoo, it's something bigger," he spoke on Club 113 podcast.
"With my family, I can't find a job, there's lots of negative stuff."

An ex-business manager for R. Kelly and his co-defendant at Kelly’s ongoing federal trial in Chicago has expressed doubts on the witness stand about Kelly’s insistence in the 2000s that he never sexually abused minors. Derrell McDavid’s testimony Thursday came a day after he told jurors he had had no reason to doubt his boss was telling the truth at the time. He and Kelly are charged with successfully fixing Kelly’s 2008 child pornography trial by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence. McDavid testified Thursday he had “learned a lot” in the last few weeks, including from Kelly accusers testifying for the government. He said he wanted to believe Kelly was telling the truth in the 2000s because he said he “loved” Kelly and "believed in him.”

From her ambulance service during World War II to being immortalized by a Beatles song, Queen Elizabeth II has been the only monarch that most people in Britain have ever known. She reigned for seven decades over a Britain that rebuilt from war and lost its empire before dying at age 96 on Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She endured through 15 prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss, becoming an institution and an icon -- a fixed point and a reassuring presence even for those who didn't like the royals. She was the longest reigning-monarch in British history, famous for her life of public service but also for her beloved corgis and a mischievous sense of humor in private.

Charles, Britain’s new king, was born on Nov. 14, 1948 at the royal estate at Sandringham, first child of then-Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. In 1969, he was formally invested as the Prince of Wales. He married Lady Diana Spencer in a spectacular royal wedding televised around the globe in July 1981, and had two sons — William and Harry — in the next three years. He and Princess Diana separated in 1992 after allegations that Charles had a long-term affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. They divorced in 1996, and a year later Diana was killed in a Paris automobile accident. Charles married Camilla in 2005, and became king upon the death Thursday of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

David A. Arnold, a comedian who was a producer of the “Fuller House” reboot and the creator and showrunner of Nickelodeon’s “That Girl Lay Lay,” has died. He was 54. Arnold’s family said in a statement Thursday that the doctors “ruled the cause of death due to natural causes.” His family said he died peacefully on Wednesday in his home. Arnold was a stand-up comedian who gained appeal through his perspective about fatherhood. He headlined two Netflix comedy specials “Fat Ballerina” in 2019 and the Kevin Hart-produced “It Ain’t for the Weak,” which debuted in July. Arnold was three shows into his four-month comedy tour called “Pace Ya Self.”

In seven decades on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II saw 15 British prime ministers come and go, from Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher to Boris Johnson to Liz Truss. When Elizabeth’s father died in 1952, Churchill initially complained that she was “only a child.” But within days, the leader reportedly gushed over her: “All the film people in the world, if they had scoured the globe, could not have found anyone so suited to the part.” The pair went on to enjoy a close relationship. The latest British prime minister was Truss, who the queen formally appointed in a ceremony at Balmoral Castle on Sept. 6, two days before the queen died.

Fifty years ago this month, CBS gambled that viewers would find laughs in a war zone. It took awhile for viewers to adapt, but by the time "M.A.S.H." ended 11 seasons later, it had become a major hit, proof that a successful sitcom could be just as heartbreaking and harrowing as any one-hour drama.

Buckingham Palace says Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, has died at age 96. Elizabeth spent seven decades on the throne as the U.K. rebuilt from war, lost an empire, transformed its economy and both entered and left the European Union. Upon the queen’s death, her 73-year-old son Charles automatically becomes monarch, even though the coronation might not happen for months. Elizabeth was a constant presence, the only monarch most Britons have ever known. She likely met more people than anyone in history, and her image, which adorned stamps, coins and bank notes, was among the most reproduced in the world. But her inner life and opinions remained largely an enigma.
- By SYLVIA HUI - Associated Press
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 Thursday afternoon at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. 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.” 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@broadstand.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one broadstand.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Polish Prime Minister Travels To Kiev For Negotiations - Government
Sumaira FH Published September 09, 2022 | 02:00 PM
WARSAW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 09th September, 2022) Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is heading to Kiev, Polish government spokesman Piotr Muller said on Friday.
"Mr. Prime Minister Morawiecki went to Kiev. There will be a series of several meetings. Important things that we will discuss in connection with the geopolitical situation, as well as the energy market, energy and military security," Muller told Polish broadcaster Polsat.
He noted that the information about the locations of the prime minister's visit is provided with some delay, in accordance with security procedures.
Morawiecki's visit to Kiev, just like the past visits of Polish officials to Ukraine, are always "a political signal to the Kremlin, and this signal will also be sent today," Muller said.
Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24, after the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian forces. In response, Western countries rolled out a comprehensive sanctions campaign against Moscow and have ramped up lethal weapons supplies to Ukraine.

On 29 August 2022, the European Union (EU) and Ukraine deposited their instruments of accession and ratification, respectively, to the Convention of 2 July 2019 on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil or Commercial Matters (Judgments Convention or Convention).
As a result, in less than a year's time, on 1 September 2023, the Judgments Convention will enter into force - just four years after the adoption of the Convention on 2 July 2019.
This Insight provides a brief overview of the history and principal features of the Convention. It then considers the prospects and implications of Australia ratifying the Convention.
Overview of the Judgments Convention
Origins of the Judgments Project
The Judgments Convention is a long-awaited convention with its origins dating back to the early 1990s. In 1992, the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) commenced work on an instrument to harmonise rules on the jurisdiction of courts and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in cross-border civil and commercial matters.
One of the first outcomes of the project was the Hague Convention of 30 June 2005 on Choice of Court Agreements (the Choice of Court Convention), which aims to ensure the effectiveness of choice of court agreements in civil and commercial matters. The Choice of Court Convention entered into force in 2015 and is currently in force as between the EU (including Denmark), Mexico, Montenegro, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Up-to-date information on the signatories to the Convention can be found in the HCCH's Status Table.
Following the successful conclusion of the Choice of Court Convention, the HCCH established in 2012 a working group to prepare a draft text aimed at facilitating the global circulation of judgments. The first draft of the text was completed in October 2015. Following that, the draft underwent a series of discussions and revisions – leading to the conclusion of the final text on 2 July 2019, at the 22nd Diplomatic Session of the HCCH.
Currently, in addition to the EU and Ukraine, five other states have signed the Convention. They are the United States of America, the Russian Federation, Costa Rica, Israel and Uruguay. Up-to-date information on the signatories to the Convention can be found in the HCCH's Status Table.
Principal features of the Judgments Convention
The Judgments Convention provides for the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil or commercial matters (article 1). The Convention has broad scope of application, but excludes certain matters such as the status and legal capacity of persons, family law matters, insolvency matters, privacy matters, intellectual property and certain anti-trust matters (article 2(1)).
Further, it does not apply to arbitration and related proceedings (article 2(3))1 or to interim measures of protection (article 3(1)(b)). Contracting Parties to the Convention may also declare that the Convention does not apply to certain other specific matters (article 18(1)).
In determining whether a foreign judgment of a Contracting Party is to be recognised and enforced under the Convention, a court will consider two factors:
- The first is whether a judgment is eligible for circulation
under the Convention. To determine this, a court will
consider the indirect grounds of jurisdiction listed under article
5(1). These grounds fall into three broad categories based on:
the connection between the state of origin and the defendant
(e.g. habitual residence in the state of origin):
jurisdiction based on consent (e.g. express consent to the
court of origin in the course of proceedings); or a connection
between the claim and the state of origin (e.g. place of
performance of the contract). Additionally, article 6 provides for
the circulation of judgments ruling on rights in rem in
immovable property – but if, and only if, the immovable
property is located in the State which rendered the judgment sought
to be enforced.
- Second, a court may consider whether the grounds for refusal under article 7, are applicable. There are two categories of grounds based on the way the proceedings took place in the state of origin (e.g. improper notice); or based on the nature and content of the judgment (e.g. where the judgment is inconsistent with a judgment given by a court of the state in which enforcement is sought). Recognition and enforcement can only be refused based on one of the grounds listed in the Convention.
It is important to note that, with the one exception identified above in relation to judgments ruling on rights in rem in immovable property, the Convention does not prevent or limit the recognition and enforcement of judgments under national law, bilateral, regional or other international instruments (articles 15 and 23).
For a detailed overview and explanation of the provisions of the Convention, see the Explanatory Report available on the HCCH website.
Would Australia benefit from joining the Convention?
Current framework for enforcing a foreign judgment in Australia
The current framework for enforcing a foreign judgment in Australia involves an overlay of treaties, a statutory regime and common law principles and is, according to the Attorney-General's Department, a "complex process".
Whether a foreign judgment can be enforced in Australia depends on where the judgment was issued and what type of judgment it is. The current regime in Australia is illustrated by the following diagram:
For a step-by-step procedure of determining enforcement of foreign judgments in Victoria, refer to the Victorian Supreme Court Practice Note.
What will it mean for Australia to join the Judgments Convention?
The Judgments Convention aims to establish uniform rules on recognition and enforcement of judgments among Contracting Parties.
For Australia, the benefits of ratifying the Judgments Convention include:
- The Convention expands the grounds for recognising and
enforcing foreign judgments in Australia. Most significantly, the
Convention provides for the enforcement of non-money judgments and
a much broader list of grounds on which recognition and enforcement
may be based.
- Assuming widespread ratification of the Convention, Australian
judgments will have significantly increased prospects of being
recognised and enforced overseas. This means that parties involved
in cross-border litigation who obtain an Australian judgment will
be able to access meaningful relief in foreign jurisdictions
without the need to re-litigate their dispute.
- The Convention will align Australia's private international law with that of other Contracting Parties, leading to greater certainty and predictability for Australian enterprises engaging in cross-border transactions with entities from other contracting states and vice-versa.
Is it likely that Australia will become a party to the Hague Judgments Convention?
Australia has a long history of engaging with the work of the HCCH since it joined the HCCH in 1973. Currently, it has joined 11 HCCH instruments and has implemented these instruments to varying degrees.
Australia actively participated in the negotiations for the Judgments Convention, including at the Diplomatic Session at which the Convention was finalised. In 2018, the Attorney-General's Department conducted a public consultation on the draft text of the Convention.2 In addition, the Australian Government provided financial support to the continuation of the Judgments Project for a number of years.
While, as at the date of writing, there is no public indication that Australia will join the Convention, against the backdrop of the Australian Government's support for and participation in the negotiation of the Convention, and with no perceived disadvantages to Australia joining the Judgments Convention, it seems likely that Australia will follow in the footsteps of the EU and Ukraine.

Ireland should prioritise energy support with budget surplus, says deputy PM
DUBLIN, Sept 9 (Reuters) - The bulk of Ireland's budget surplus, expected to reach up to 5 billion euros ($5.05 billion), should be spent on one-off measures to help consumers and businesses contend with soaring energy prices, its deputy prime minister said on Friday.
The measures will be introduced on Sept. 27 on top of a boosted budget day package to increase spending in areas such as unemployment benefit, childcare and pensions. Leo Varadkar also said a further chunk of the surplus would be needed to help with energy bills throughout 2023. ($1 = 0.9900 euros)

God gave us a choice between spiritual life and death “so He could have people on His side,” says Damian, 9. It sounds like we’re picking teams for a giant volleyball or baseball game.
Wes, 11, believes it’s a good thing that there are two teams because “heaven is too heavenly for sinners.”
Lots of people know just how Wes feels. Heaven – with all that imagined singing and harp playing – turns them off. They say they don’t want to go to heaven because their friends won’t be there. What if separation from God is like solitary confinement? Then what?
“We would realize our mistakes,” says Stephanie, 11. By then, it might be a little late.
People who joke that they want to go to hell should think again, says Allie, 9, because “no one should choose death.” That sounds good, but every day people smoke, use harmful drugs and drink alcohol to excess even though they know it will cause health problems and possibly shorten their lives.
If people have such difficulty with the more immediate choice for physical life versus physical death, it’s understandable that they’ll have an even tougher time choosing spiritual life over spiritual death. The consequences seem so distant and intangible.
Not to worry, says Kristen, 10: “God wanted to give us all a chance at life.” Yes, says Martha, 7, “Jesus wants us to have eternal life.”
Second Peter 3:9 says, God “is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish.”
Some people distort this truth and don’t believe hell exists. They say, “How could a loving God send anyone to hell?” Remember one thing about God, says Lauren, 11: “He’s fair.” And Scott says if there were no hell, “there’d be no point in life on earth as we’d all be going to heaven.”
This life/death question has a point, but what is it?
“God wanted to test what He made,” says Cory. The real issue, according to Lacey, 9, is faith: “God wanted to see our faith in Him.”
God gave us a choice “because He didn’t want to force everyone to love Him,” says Mariah, 8. Forced love isn’t love at all. “God wanted to see if we loved Him enough to choose to live with Him,” says Shelby, 10.
What if we all choose the wrong team? What would God do then? Don’t worry, says Matthew, 9, “He’s merciful.” God designed a plan for us even when we chose the wrong team so that he could display something about himself. Luke, 10, says, “It would be showing us grace.”
Okay, but how can we get on the right team? “Jesus died on the cross, and now we can choose to go to heaven,” says Candace, 10. Martin Luther described the faith by which we embrace God’s team as “the hand of a beggar reaching out to receive the gift.”
The reason God granted us a choice between spiritual life and death is “to teach us that we can’t live without Him,” says Casey, 12. Maybe that’s why so many people are struggling; they’re finding out through their bad choices that they need God.
Think about this: Our present life and life after death go better with God because he is the source of life.
Memorize this truth: Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Ask this question: Do you know Jesus as the source of your life here and hereafter?

OTTAWA – It was just a year ago that a senior-laden Roanoke-Benson club dominated youthful Marquette for a two-set Tri-County Conference victory in Bader Gymnasium.
This time, the now senior-rich Crusaders returned the favor to the now younger Rockets.
Short service runs of three points by both Lindsey Kaufmann and Maera Jimenez opened up a 13-8 lead that gave the home team control of the first game. Then in the second, Kaufmann exploded for a huge nine straight points to take the Cru from a two-point deficit to a seven-point lead, sending them to a 25-15, 25-17 decision over R-B on Thursday night.
Aggressive serving by Marquette along with some stellar back-row defense by Kaufmann and Nora Rinearson and balanced hitting keyed the win that lifted Marquette’s record to 10-3 overall and 3-0 in the Tri-County.
Eva McCallum and Mary Lechtenberg each slammed home eight kills, Jimenez five, Kaylee Killelea four and Lilly Craig three to pace the front-liners, while Kaufmann and Rinearson finished with 18 and 15 digs, respectively, in the back row.
Killelea added 16 assists and Jimenez 11 to help drop the pesky but inexperienced Rockets to 0-6, 0-2 in the league.
“There was a lot of defense out there tonight,” Marquette coach Mindy McConnaughhay said. “Lindsey is such a rock back there all the time, excellent in tip coverage tonight, and Nora was everywhere, doing a great job in the corners. … And our hitters made good decisions tonight, too.
“Lindsey was so huge serving in that second game. She’s such an aggressive player anyway, but I tell her to just go for it. I can live with a miss here and there, but when that jump serve is good, it’s really good. She kept her composure tonight, even after the timeout, she came back and reeled off more. I’m really proud of her.
“This was a good win all around.”
Marquette, which a year ago lost big to R-B in two sets 25-13, 25-21 at Bader, seemed determined to start fast and led this one 3-0, but eventually needed a McCallum kill to tie it at 6-6 before Kaufmann collected three points – two on kills by Jimenez and an ace – to take control.
Jimenez added a three-point surge to widen the lead to 13-8, and it stayed right there until another Jimenez kill and her four straight service points finished off the set.
Game two showed just how pesky the Rockets could be. An ace by Bri Harms and kills by Lexi Weldon and Maggie Luginbuhl created a 9-5 edge for the visitors, who were for a stretch bringing back up everything the Cru could hit at them.
Later, it was 15-12 R-B when a sideout kill by Lechtenberg brought Kaufmann to the line for her decisive run. In it, McCallum had three kills, Jimenez two kills and Kaufmann three straight aces as the hosts rolled out to a 22-15 advantage.
Luginbuhl ended up with team-highs of four kills and three points, while Harms, Weldon and Libby Hodel each added three points. Harms chipped in a pair of kills.
“In the first game we weren’t playing to our ability,” R-B coach Jodie Sauder said, “but in the second we learned where their weaknesses were and were able to attack those and capitalized on them. But as the game progressed, we stopped doing that, and that caused us to lose momentum, lose our energy, and we just couldn’t get it back.
“Without a go-to hitter, we’re relying heavily on our defense, and we played it well tonight … but we’re very young. We’re learning, we’re seeing good things, seeing them grow, but it’s gonna take time.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Democrat vying to oust Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Scott is facing calls from within her own party to fold her campaign, following the publication of additional leaked audio in which she appears to make disparaging remarks about her constituents.
The calls for state Rep. Krystle Matthews to withdraw just two months ahead of the general election came Thursday in reaction to leaked audio published by conservative activist group Project Veritas of Matthews speaking to one of its members, without her knowledge.
Sitting in a restaurant, Matthews, who is Black, is heard saying that she represents a “mostly white” district, adding, of white voters: “I keep them right here — like under my thumbs. … Otherwise, they get out of control — like kids.”
“You ought to know who you’re dealing with,” Matthews goes on to say. “You’ve got to treat them like s—-. That’s the only way they’ll respect you.”
In a statement, Matthews acknowledged her voice on the recording, calling Project Veritas a “satirical MAGA Powered news outlet.”
The compilation also features more of Matthews’ conversation, parts of which were previously published by Project Veritas, in which she spoke to an inmate about funding her campaign with “dope boy money” and having Democrats run as Republicans, saying “secret sleepers” represent “the only way you’re gonna change the dynamics in South Carolina.”
At the time of the earlier release, ahead of South Carolina’s June primary runoff, Matthews confirmed to The Associated Press that it was her voice on the tape but said the edited audio of a “tongue-in-cheek” exchange didn’t reflect the full picture.
Matthews won the runoff to face Scott, who is seeking what he’s said will be his final Senate term and is among South Carolina’s most popular politicians. The Black Republican is widely expected to win the general election in South Carolina, where no Democrat has won a statewide race in more than 15 years.
On Thursday, Democrats including gubernatorial nominee Joe Cunningham said he concurred with state Rep. Justin Bamberg, who in an op-ed published online called Matthews “toxic.”
“If any of our white counterparts had said the same thing with regards to blacks, the minority community, including myself, would be up in arms calling for that member’s immediate resignation,” Bamberg added.
In a statement provided to AP, Cunningham said that “there is absolutely no place in our political discourse” for Matthews’ comments, adding that “the Democratic Party cannot and should not tolerate such behavior from our elected officials and candidates.”
State Sen. Brad Hutto, Democrats’ leader in that chamber — who was also his party’s nominee to challenge U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in 2014 — echoed Cunningham’s comments about Matthews’ Senate bid, telling AP, “When candidates of either party start making irresponsible statements, beyond what party they’re from, they need to reevaluate their candidacy, and that’s what needs to happen here.”
One of the fellow Democrats Matthews defeated, Catherine Fleming Bruce, told AP she agreed with the calls for Matthews to step aside, saying the nominee “has made it impossible for her to be that standard bearer, representing our state’s diverse population.”
Trav Robertson, chairman of the state’s Democrats, emphasized on Thursday that Matthews didn’t represent the party’s perspective but stopped short of urging her to quit her campaign, which he said was “becoming a distraction to other Democrats on the ballot.”
“If I were advising her campaign, I would focus on her getting reelected to the (state) House of Representatives,” Robertson told AP.
Were Matthews to suspend her campaign, her name would likely still remain on ballots, which party officials said were already being produced for overseas voters. With no third-party candidate in the race, Scott’s name is the only other that would appear.
“Regardless of race, I love everyone,” Matthews said in her statement. “One thing you can learn from Project Veritas’s first audio attack on me, is obviously I have no biases toward a certain ethnic group.”

Arsenal are better. Arsenal are ready. Arsenal are back. From where and what they’re ready for is still up for debate, but the excited masses of supporters have been - entirely understandably - near-giddy at the Gunners sitting top of the early Premier League table.
Unquestionably, there is greater cohesion in parts of the team at the start of this season, better depth in key areas and individual improvement on show in the squad.
On the sidelines, Mikel Arteta continues to cut an invested, demanding figure. He deserves credit for Arsenal being a more watchable, enjoyable (oh, and a more frequently winning) team for sure, even if there remains more than a tinge of over-animation about his technical area dramatics.
More than a few have expressed the opinion of it being faintly comedic watching the Spaniard in action: furiously gesticulating and stretching to bellow orders at a player three yards away from him on a throw-in, or burying his face in his hands after the concession of a goal.
But therein also lies a part of the puzzle to solve which now lies before the Gunners: to truly transition into a side which can compete at the top again, they must be able to handle setbacks far better than the evidence until this point suggests.
Head-in-hands Arteta is only a metaphor for this, of course. In body language terms, the Old Trafford counter-attack sucker-punch defeat will already be out of the system - but the mind also plays a funny role in this sport.
Arsenal, too often, have allowed one defeat to spiral, with another following soon after and dropped points being racked up quickly in quite in the same way Martin Odegaard racked up final-third passes in the opening five games of the season.
The thing is, in that first quintet - all victories - the north London side did not actually play anybody certain to finish in the top half this term. Crystal Palace certainly might, but the rest - Leicester, Bournemouth, Fulham, Aston Villa - are not screaming early-season definites to do so. It means the first real test they faced, the first opponent to play them who held serious ambitions of their own, beat them.
Analysis and reasoning for the defeat played a significant part in the aftermath, as is usual when the biggest butt heads. Arsenal played well and dominated possession but didn’t win. It happens.
It certainly does, but in this case, that’s the entire point: up until now under Arteta and before him, with Unai Emery, the team had been easily identifiable by runs of wins over the league’s fodder, and failures to win against better outfits ... and those which follow.
Overblown boom and all-too-predictable bust has for too long been the status quo at the Emirates.
Roll it back to the start of 19/20 and the unravelling of Unai. Just one defeat in eight was a reasonable start, albeit with too many draws, but that was followed by one win in 12.
Arteta, either side of the Covid interruption, got matters back on track with eight unbeaten beforehand and only two losses in eight to finish up with. But he also managed a run of seven defeats in 10 at the start of 20/21 and another run of nine non-wins in 13 mid-season.
Five straight wins to end the campaign gave confidence, but starting 21/22 with three straight defeats quickly eroded it. On and on it goes: they have beaten the likes of Wolves, Brentford, Watford and Leicester in a row, but a difficult defeat to Liverpool sends them spiralling to further subsequent losses to Palace, Brighton and Southampton.
It is a process to improve in teambuilding and one which cannot be forced or rushed (at least if hundreds of millions are not available), but it’s also a significant psychological barrier to overcome as a team when it comes to winning those most crucial of encounters ... and bouncing back quickly when you don’t.
Last week, United won. Whether Arsenal played well or not ultimately doesn’t matter in the immediate aftermath: Erik ten Hag’s tactics were employed better, or more clinically, than Arteta’s were.
Perhaps not in a sustainable fashion, but that’s beside the point - you have to win the game which is played, not theoretically win more occasions if the same fixture was played ten times over.
Since that hurdle was not crossed, the next one must be, and much-changed line-ups in the timid, glamourless Europa League do not count in the search for consistency.
Everton, Brentford and Tottenham lie in wait, each with their own big reasons for needing points and their own mental barriers to jump, but Arsenal - if they truly want to show they are ready to mix it near the top once more - cannot let that, or anything else, get in the way of an immediate return to form this time.

James is seen in the NDC’s natural diamond universe, serving as the main inspiration for the 45-second campaign film which captures a series of scenes relevant to the myriad of roles she plays on and off camera.
The campaign ad is set throughout London, the film draws the eye to its heroine from street, to set, and to stage.
Each moment, whether big or small, is decorated by life’s most meaningful adornments, sparkling pieces of diamond jewellery underscoring the film’s manifesto, “To Treasure, Now and Forever.”
The campaign was directed by Manu Cossu and photographed by Sasha Marro, in addition to Molly SJ Lowe.
The advertising strategy focuses predominantly on digital video including presence on premium television channels, leading OTT platforms and across multiple digital avenues.
The campaign will also run in the USA, UK, France, UAE and China.
James said, “I am so excited and proud to be the global ambassador for Natural Diamond Council.”
“It has been illuminating to discover the positive impact of the natural diamond industry across the globe and its commitment to continued improvement. I am eager to witness more of this firsthand in my new role,” she added.
David Kellie, chief executive officer, Natural Diamond Council, said, “James is the modern epitome of natural diamonds. The talent, versatility, and authenticity she brings to the table are the perfect attributes to represent natural diamonds.”
“We are thrilled to have her join us as we build upon the success of another record-breaking year for natural diamond jewellery,” he added.
Richa Singh, managing director, Natural Diamond Council, India and Middle East, said, “Our latest campaign encapsulates the varied roles that this modern audience seamlessly glides through, while holding on to their roots.”
“James’s sparkling, effortless charm represents the next chapter of diamond jewellery that can traverse various occasions and challenge traditional notions to create the perfect modern heirloom,” she added.
Over the past few years, the number of women at the junior level has grown. Still, women continue to be underrepresented at the leadership level. Bias impacts women’s day-to-day work experiences and ability to advance. We are discussing the challenges women are facing in the workplace.

LONDON (AP) — British sports were holding a day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II, with high-profile golf, cricket and horse racing events canceled Friday as a mark of respect and the Premier League meeting to discuss whether to call off games scheduled for the weekend.
The BMW PGA Championship, the flagship event on the European tour, was paused near the end of the first round Thursday following the announcement of the queen's death — there were still 30 players out on the course — and there will be no play Friday.
“We remain hopeful of restarting at some stage over the weekend,” the tour said Friday in a statement, adding that it would be reviewing “protocol guidance from Buckingham Palace” while also aligning with the decisions made by other sporting events in Britain.
The England and Wales Cricket Board has already announced that there would be no play on Friday in the third and deciding test between England and South Africa at the Oval. There was no update on whether play would be resuming over the weekend.
Other events called off included the third day of horse racing's St. Leger festival in Doncaster — horse racing was the queen's favorite sport — and cycling's Tour of Britain, which also canceled the final two stages of the race scheduled for the weekend.
Soccer matches in the English Football League — the three leagues below the Premier League — and in the Scottish lower league will not be played Friday and matches scheduled to be played in Northern Ireland over the weekend were also canceled.
The Premier League had not yet decided its position, with a meeting being held between the clubs on Friday morning. Factors involved in any decision were likely to include whether holding matches would use up police resources, the desire of broadcasters and the mood of the public.
There is little room in the schedule of this World Cup-affected season to fit in postponed fixtures.

Countdown’s Queen of Dictionary Corner, Susie Dent, coming to Cast
Countdown’s Queen of Dictionary Corner, Susie Dent, is bringing her live show ‘The Secret Lives of Words’ to the Cast, Doncaster next Friday, September 16.
It takes a journey into the curious, unexpected, and downright surreal origins of the words we use every day.
Susie will retell the adventures that lie hidden within such words as lasagne (involving a chamber pot) and bugbear (a terrorising monster), and explain such oddities as the silent h in ghost and the mysterious disappearance of kempt, gormful, and ruly (and yes, you really can be gruntled).
She will look to the lexicon of the past to fill some of today’s linguistic gaps – such as the frenzied fit of tidying we all do just as guests are about to descend (that’s a scurryfunge).

MONTEREY, Calif. (AP) — What’s 10 points worth? That’s what Will Power hopes he doesn’t find out while trying to close out the closest IndyCar championship fight in nearly 20 years.
Power takes a 20-point lead into Sunday’s season finale at Laguna Seca Raceway over six-time champion Scott Dixon and Josef Newgarden, Power’s Team Penske teammate and a two-time IndyCar champion. Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson remains in contention, as does Scott McLaughlin, who sits 41 points behind teammate Power.
In all, five drivers mathematically have a shot and two contenders, reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou and Pato O’Ward, were only eliminated last Sunday in IndyCar’s closest title race since 2003 — when the Indy Racing League was called “The IRL.”
But there are plenty of Power fans who believe the Australian could have had some breathing room in this title fight had Team Penske done him any favors.
McLaughlin last week dominated at Portland to win his third race of the season and Power finished second to retain his hold on the points lead. Power definitely did not have a car as good as McLaughlin’s, but challenger Dixon was closing fast behind him in both the race and title fight.
If Team Penske had called for “team orders” and asked McLaughlin to cede the lead to Power, he’d have 10 additional points over Dixon and Newgarden. The call Dixon considered a “no-brainer” never came and now Power must finish no lower than third to clinch the title.
Those additional points could have taken some of the pressure off Power to be perfect on Sunday and helped him preserve the hold he’s had on the championship three different times this season, including the last four races.
Even though Power was calling for the team orders over his radio at Portland, he knows that Team Penske has never used them and it’s the fairest way to manage three individual teams.
“They’ve never done that. When you think about it, it would have been unfair on Josef to do that because if I was in his position, I would not be happy to be put 30 points back,” Power said Thursday. “ From a team perspective, it was a fair thing to do. It would be great to get 10 points. But yeah, Team Penske doesn’t do that.”
Dixon and Ericsson are teammates at Chip Ganassi Racing and understand how the boss wants them to race.
“I think the thing Chip stresses is that you race clean, you race fairly, you help your teammates and you hope the organization wins,” Dixon told The Associated Press. He added that the Penske trio “do seem to race more singularly.”
It’s a sensitive topic in that team orders are essentially manipulating both the outcome of the race with a focus on the championship picture. It is common in Formula One but typically not popular, and although it’s been illegal in NASCAR since a 2013 scandal, teammates and manufacturer allies can and do often subtly help each other on the track.
It’s not so clear-cut in IndyCar, and not always subtle: there’s been wide speculation that McLaughlin allowed Newgarden to take the lead and the win after a late restart at Gateway last month. McLaughlin has said publicly that Newgarden, his close friend and co-host of their YouTube series, used “the slipstream effect” to pass him fairly.
Team Penske has weaved through the team orders issue since Sunday at Portland, while Dixon admits that Chip Ganassi Racing races with the greater organization in mind. And while Penske and Ganassi have teamed to win 14 of the last 16 IndyCar championships, nine have gone to Ganassi, including the last two.
Power, coincidentally, was on the losing end of three consecutive title races from 2010 to 2012 and finished runner-up twice to a Ganassi driver. He won his only title in 2014, his only Indianapolis 500 four years later, and has had to go head-to-head with his Penske teammates every year.
Coming off his the worst season of his 14 years driving for Roger Penske — Power had career lows in nearly every category and was ninth in the final 2021 standings — he’s returned at top form.
He attributes it to now being 41 years old and a father, which have both mellowed many of his quirks and matured his approach to performance. Although he has only one win this season, Power has been remarkably consistent with an average finish of sixth and at Gateway tied Mario Andretti for most poles in IndyCar history with 67.
But he’s been seemingly cast away at Penske, where the tight bond between Newgarden and McLaughlin has made Power the odd driver out of the cool club on a three-car team. Power wasn’t really joking when asked about McLaughlin allegedly giving Newgarden the Gateway win and said “that’s his best buddy, so he is probably going to do that.”
Penske team president Tim Cindric seemed irritated this week by the entire topic. He first dismissed Dixon’s take as “a little mental game going on” with Power because “if you focus on last week, you’re not focused on this week.”
Cindric, who is also Newgarden’s strategist, then brushed off the insinuation no team orders were called at Portland because padding Power’s lead would have dropped both Dixon and Newgarden to 30 points out.
“That was never a consideration,” said Cindric. “From all-the-eggs-in-one-basket perspective, or Will versus Josef, no, certainly not. Not one of the considerations there.”
Cindric grew curt when, still on the team orders topic, he was asked if seeing Dixon drive into third at Portland didn’t make him consider cycling Power into the lead.
“If we have another restart, Dixon passes both of them, then how do you feel?” he retorted.
Dixon explained the four drivers at Ganassi work as teammates and have some added help Sunday since Palou and Jimmie Johnson aren’t racing for the title. It won’t be the case at Penske.
“All of us have a general understanding that if there’s a point you can help your teammate, that’s what you are going to do,” Dixon told AP. “But I think their situation is a little bit different between Josef and Will. By all means, Josef will be trying to beat Will. I don’t think there will be any help there. At all. No help at all from Josef.”
That’s how it goes, Cindric insisted, with Penske’s decision to run three championship-contending full-time cars. Newgarden has won a series-high five races this season, McLaughlin is next with three and Power’s lone victory gives Team Penske nine victories through 16 races.
“When it comes to team orders, that type of thing, people forget that you have other obligations to other people aside from yourself,” Cindric said. “You have obligations to the driver, to your sponsors, to their families and all the rest on down the line. Those aren’t very obvious things, especially when you’re talking about whether someone wins a race or doesn’t win a race.
Mike Hull, Cindric’s contemporary at Ganassi, said his drivers will race professionally with integrity. But he, too, shifted away from the team orders concept by pointing out that IndyCar, on pace for its most watched season since 2008, is the real winner come Sunday.
“Who wins here is IndyCar. With the success that IndyCar is having this year with the absolute strength that’s created in growth, they’re going to win,” Hull said. “It comes down to the quality teams racing with quality drivers. I think that’s a testament to how far the series has come in a very short period of time with its ownership and with the direction that its ownership is creating.”
IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Ganassi won the Indy 500 this year with Ericsson, have been owned by Roger Penske since 2020.

New Delhi, September 9
The income tax department has detected "unaccounted income" of more than Rs 100 crore after it recently raided two Maharashtra-based business groups, the CBDT said on Friday.
The searches were launched on August 25 against the two groups that have not been identified by the authorities and are engaged in business of sand-mining, sugar-manufacturing, road construction, health care and running of a medical college, officials said.
More than 20 premises located in Solapur, Osmanabad, Nashik and Kolhapur districts of Maharashtra were covered as part of the action, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in a statement.
Seized documents and digital data show the "modus operandi of tax evasion adopted by the group, including booking of bogus expenses, undisclosed cash sales, unexplained loans/credit entries," the statement issued by the administrative body for the tax department said.
In case of the group engaged in sand mining and sugar manufacturing, documentary evidences of "unaccounted" cash sales of sugar exceeding Rs 15 crore have been found and seized, it said.
The group has introduced its unaccounted income in the form of bogus unsecured loans in its books of accounts, the statement said.
"Several lenders to the group, as well as promoters have admitted that unaccounted cash generated by the group exceeding Rs 10 crore was routed in its books of account in this manner."
"Evidences of capital gains of about Rs 43 crore on sale of assets by a non-filer corporate entity have also been seized," the CBDT said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release cheetahs, to be brought from Africa, into two enclosures at Kuno National Park in Sheopur district of Madhya Pradesh next week as part of India's ambitious project to reintroduce these fastest land animals, officials said on Friday.
Eight cheetahs - five males and three females - are expected to reach KNP from Namibia, officials earlier said. PM Modi will launch the cheetah reintroduction programme on September 17, which happens to be his birthday.
These cheetahs will initially be kept in small open fenced areas before being shifted to larger spaces. Once they acclimatize with the local environment and after a review by experts, male cheetahs will be released in the open forest areas followed by the female ones as per the standard protocol, the officials said.
Normally, male cheetahs tend to live in a small group of two to three in the wild.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday took stock of the preparations for the cheetah reintroduction programme to be attended by the PM. State Forest Minister Vijay Shah and other top officials accompanied Chouhan during the review of the arrangements being made for the event.
During the review meeting, Chouhan said, "Rehabilitating cheetahs by translocating them from Namibia to KNP is a job of national importance." It was informed at the meeting that PM Modi will release two male cheetahs in one enclosure and a female cheetah into another, the official said.
Instructions were also given to the authorities at the meeting to ensure adequate prey base for cheetahs. 'Chital' also known as spotted deer are brought from Chidikho forest sanctuary near Narsinghgarh in Rajgarh district of the state to KNP. The forest staff has undergone training in Namibia for the management of cheetahs, the official said.
Another official said that KNP has a good prey base for cheetahs. Experts from the Wildlife Institute of India have also seconded the area after scouting nearly ten places in the country for rehabilitating cheetahs. Madhya Pradesh had a good translocation record as tigers were successfully reintroduced in Panna in 2009, he said.
KNP, which is spread over an area of 750 sq km, has adequate space for nearly two dozen cheetahs, the official said. Besides, an additional 3,000 sq km area between Sheopur and adjoining Shivpuri district will give adequate space to the fastest animal on the earth to live, he added.
The chief minister also reviewed preparations for the women self-help-group programme to be held at Karahal in Sheopur district on September 17. Modi will also address a function of women self-help groups at Karahal on September 17. An exhibition will also be set up on the occasion to showcase the products made by women, he said.
The last cheetah died in the country in 1947 in Korea district in present day Chhattisgarh, which was earlier part of Madhya Pradesh, and the species was declared extinct from India in 1952.
The 'African Cheetah Introduction Project in India' was conceived in 2009 and a plan to introduce the big cat by November last year in KNP suffered a setback due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials said.

Her collection of jewels and vast estates may have been impressive, but Queen Elizabeth II's wealth paled in comparison with other royals.
She was estimated to be worth £370 million (more than $420 million) -- not quite enough to earn her a spot on The Sunday Times 2022 "Rich List" of the UK's 250 wealthiest.
And her fortune was dwarfed by that of other monarchs: the Thai royal family's wealth is estimated at between $50 and $70 billion, while Saudi King Salman has reported net worth of $18 billion.
So how did she make her money and how did she spend it?
- Official expenses -
The taxpayer funds the British monarch's lifestyle, while they and the royal family also receive income from gigantic private holdings, the details of which are not fully known.
An annual allowance from the government called the Sovereign Grant covered the queen's official expenses and those of other royals representing her.
In the financial year 2020-2021, this amounted to almost £86 million, including £34.4 million towards ongoing renovations at Buckingham Palace in London.
The Sovereign Grant is set as equivalent to 15 percent of the profits of the Crown Estate -- a huge portfolio of land, property and other assets such as wind farms that belongs to the ruling monarch but is independently managed.
The Crown Estate's net income is handed to the Treasury under an agreement sealed in 1760.
The Sovereign Grant was temporarily increased to cover the extensive updating work on Buckingham Palace.
It is also used to pay hundreds of staff working for the royal household.
- Private income -
The Privy Purse is the name for the monarch's private income, which mainly comes from the Duchy of Lancaster estate, owned by the monarchy since the Middle Ages.
Its assets include land, financial investments and property that are worth more than £500 million.
The estate is made up of 315 residential properties, as well as commercial properties in central London and thousands of acres (hectares) of agricultural land.
Its 2020-2021 net operating income was more than £20 million. The queen gave part of this to her relatives and paid tax on the amount that was not spent on official duties.
"The queen uses that money to pay for her own overheads to run Balmoral and Sandringham, which are very expensive," said David McClure, author of a book on the monarch's finances, "The Queen's True Worth".
Both properties were owned by the queen herself.
"She also uses some of the money to cross-subsidise other members of the royal family who don't get money from the public grant, or sovereign grant", McClure told AFP.
These recipients include her daughter Princess Anne, her youngest son Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, as well as her second son, Prince Andrew.
Andrew is no longer carrying out royal duties and therefore is not expected to be receiving an allowance as generous as in the past.
He is in disgrace over his relationship with the late US financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted paedophile who killed himself in jail in 2019.
- Private property -
While most of the royal palaces are owned by The Crown Estate, the queen owned two privately: Balmoral Castle in Scotland, with an estimated value of £100 million, and Sandringham country estate, worth some £50 million.
These are not publicly funded.
The queen also privately owned some items in the Royal Collection, including a stamp collection that belonged to her grandfather, king George V, valued at £100 million.
The queen's passion for racing horses also earned her more than £7 million in prize money, according to estimates by myracing.com, although this excluded their costly upkeep.
The Crown Jewels, which have been valued at some £3 billion, symbolically belonged to the queen but are automatically transferred to her successor.
- Tax havens -
The queen was implicated in the Paradise Papers, formerly secret documents leaked in 2017 exposing interests held offshore by the rich and powerful as a means of tax avoidance.
The documents were released by the US-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
They said the queen had through the Duchy of Lancaster placed around £10 million in funds held in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda -- British overseas territories that are considered to be tax havens.
- Not that rich? -
With a fortune of £370 million, the queen did not make The Sunday Times 2022 "Rich List" of the 250 wealthiest, topped by moguls Sri and Gopi Hinduja, who oversee a vast business empire and are estimated to be worth more than £28 billion.
Entrepreneur James Dyson and his family climbed to second with a wealth estimate of £23 billion.
Former finance minister Rishi Sunak and his Indian wife Akshata Murty, however, did make the list for the first time with their joint £730-million fortune.

Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Miraculously Inspires Kanye West to Release ‘All Grudges’
The impact of Queen Elizabeth II’s death can not be underestimated, apparently. The loss of the long-standing British monarch has inspired Kanye West, of all people, to settle his many beefs.
In a new Instagram post this morning, West posted a series of slides reflecting on the Queen’s death at age 96. “Life is precious,” the rapper wrote alongside two vintage photos of Her Majesty. “Releasing all grudges today. Leaning into the light.”
It’s currently unclear exactly which grudges the post refers to, or whether West plans to release them for longer than today. The rapper has been involved in numerous feuds with numerous people as of late, including Pete Davidson, Kid Cudi, and John Legend. He has also been taking aim at brands like Gap and Adidas this week, accusing the fashion companies of leaving him out of meetings and stealing his designs after previously making arranging for them to carry his Yeezy line.
Last month, Kid Cudi responded to the tumultuous end of his relationship with Ye in an interview with Esquire, saying that it would “take a motherfucking miracle for me and that man to be friends again.”
The two artists have been closely linked for over a decade, working closely on various projects, including the 2018 collaborative album, Kids See Ghosts, while also feuding and reconciling on a handful of occasions. Earlier this year, though, their relationship appeared to fall apart after Ye yanked Cudi from Donda 2 and shared a photo on Instagram of Cudi and Pete Davidson — who was dating West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, at the time — with X’s over their faces. Cudi, in turn, tweeted, “Too bad I don’t wanna be on ur album u fuckin dinosaur.”
Towards Davidson, who dated West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian for nine months before the couple called it quits, West has been notably vicious. After Davidson and Kardashian split in August, West took to Instagram to share a photoshopped New York Times front page that reads: “Skete Davidson Dead at 28.”
The subscript took aim at Cudi, mocking the artist’s recent departure from Rolling Loud mid-set. “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers,” it read in reference to the fact that after the rapper pulled out of his headlining slot at the last minute, Cudi was tapped to perform at the festival, only to be taunted and harassed by audience members who had hoped to see West.
“It’s been a really weird thing to go through,” Davidson said about the situation during a standup routine in May. “People try to give you advice but even friends that are older than me are like, ‘I don’t know. He looks pretty mad, bro. Good luck! Sorry. Here if you need.’”
Well, maybe an apology is on its way, thanks to Her Majesty.

Ghost in the machine? Creepy corpse-like woman dubbed 'Loab' is haunting the internet - after bizarre AI art goes viral
- A Twitter user has shared images of a haunting female figure with pink cheeks
- The images were created by an artificial intelligence (AI) art generator
- The woman, named 'Loab', was generated by different prompts and AI tools
- Loab also appears in increasingly gruesome settings with deformed features
An artificial intelligence (AI) art generator has been found to produce images of a haunting woman with sunken cheeks in gory settings in response to multiple prompts.
Twitter user @supercomposite shared a series of images of the creepy figure, dubbed 'Loab', which they had created using AI tools since April.
'The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities,' wrote Supercomposite.
'Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches'.
As the artist continuously combined images of Loab with other scenes, the figure appeared to become clearer and be placed in increasingly gruesome settings.
She also has allegedly made appearances on 'multiple' image-generating tools.
Loab is therefore being described as a 'cryptid of latent space' - where a cryptid is a creature whose existence is disputed but has had alleged sightings.
Supercomposite's Twitter thread now has over 73,000 likes and nearly 15,000 re-tweets, with many social media users convinced the woman is a 'demon that inhabits the AI art generators'.
Others are more sceptical, stating that the phenomenon has been faked or is merely a 'quirk of the software'.
One of the first images of Loab generated in an AI text-to-image generator. Text in the top left corner appears to read Loab, which is what the artist Supercomposite named the figure
The first time Loab was generated by Supercomposite they requested a 'negative prompt' from the AI text-to-image generator. This means they asked it to create something that is the opposite of the prompt, rather than a representation of it
Scientists have developed AI programmes which take a prompt from a human user, in the form of text or an image, and then use it as inspiration for a completely new piece of art.
An example of this is DALL-E - a text-to-image tool that can that can transform famous paintings into different art styles.
These algorithms are fed millions of photos to 'learn' what different objects are supposed to look like, and eventually put them together.
Once given a prompt to generate an image from, they will note a series of key features that could be present and generate pixels to visualise their interpretation.
The first time Loab was generated by Supercomposite, however, they requested a 'negative prompt' from the AI.
This means they asked it to create something that is the opposite of the prompt, rather than a representation of it.
'The AI tries to make the image look as different from the prompt as possible.' Supercomposite tweeted.
They inputted 'Brando::-1', which commanded the AI to generate the opposing image to its interpretation of the word Brando.
It created an image of a silhouetted skyline emblazoned with the letters 'DIGITA PNTICS', which Supercomposite re-entered into the tool in text format.
Rather than the likeness of American actor Marlon Brando, the prompt 'DIGITA PNTICS skyline logo::-1' produced four images of a solemn woman with pink cheeks.

Supercomposite fed images of Loab back into the programme as an image prompt (right), combined with an unrelated AI generated image (left). This made the image of Loab even clearer, and placed her in a series of gory and macabre settings

They next fed these images back into the programme as an image prompt, combined with an unrelated AI-generated image.
This made the image of Loab even clearer, and placed her in a series of gory and macabre settings.
Some showed headless people or children with bleeding or deformed eyes, but all including a version of Loab with straight, brown hair and defined triangles on her cheeks.

Supercomposite said: 'Through some kind of emergent statistical accident, something about this woman is adjacent to extremely gory and macabre imagery in the distribution of the AI's world knowledge'
Twitter user @mattskala has gone some way to explain that the number of images that can be generated by an AI from negative prompts is less than the number of questions we can ask it. The former computer scientist suggests that this is why the Loab image comes up so frequently for different negative prompts
Supercomposite said: 'Through some kind of emergent statistical accident, something about this woman is adjacent to extremely gory and macabre imagery in the distribution of the AI's world knowledge.
'Since Loab was discovered using negative prompt weights, her gestalt is made from a collection of traits that are equally far away from something.
'But her combined traits are still a cohesive concept for the AI, and almost all descendent images contain a recognizable Loab.'
'Crossbred' images were also made, where the original Loab images were combined with others to create a new artwork.
Some of these were lighthearted, showing Loab in front of a rainbow flag while celebrating Pride, or as a Na'vi character from the 2009 film Avatar.
The characteristics of the woman remained, even when the crossbred images were fed back into the programme as part of a new prompt.
Even if Loab's image disappeared in a series of modified images, Supercomposite found 'she would sometimes reappear, later down the line.'

Supercomposite has not revealed exactly what prompts were used, or which image generating models they were inputted into to give the Loab artworks
Supercomposite has not revealed exactly what prompts were used, or which image-generating models they were fed into to give the Loab artworks.
They did tweet suggesting that multiple algorithms have produced images of Loab, leading social media users to speculate her ghostly figure is haunting them.
They said: 'I haven't experimented extensively with it but it seems like this pattern holds for multiple AIs, perhaps due to them all using CLIP in one way or the other.
'Or maybe it's a quirk of the RAION dataset.'
CLIP is a neural network developed by OpenAI that learns visual concepts from natural language, and RAION is a machine-learning company.
'I'm not sure exactly why, even if I generally understand in principle how!' they added.
'Neural networks are a black box as they say.'
Many social media users believe the digital world is haunted bya demon, while others remain unconvinced that Supercomposite's findings are genuine

The former computer scientist suggests that this is why the Loab image comes up so frequently for different negative prompts.
In a thread, he wrote: 'Any collection of points, in basically any sort of space, is going to have a 'convex hull' defining its extreme limits and the answers to furthest-point queries will be the extreme points of that. Many fewer points than exist in the original set.
'So if you're going to be doing "what is the furthest image from this one?" queries, the set of images that can possibly be answers to that question is much smaller than the set of questions like that that you can ask.
'It's to be expected that those relatively few points will be the same across widely different 'furthest from *here*' starting points.'

Love Island winner Millie Court reveals she’s moving out of huge £1m Essex home after ‘struggling’ without ex Liam
LOVE Island's Millie Court has revealed that she's moving out of her £1m Essex home after split from Liam Reardon.
The reality star - who announced that she had parted ways with Welsh hunk Liam back in July - has opened up about her future living arrangements.
During an Instagram Q&A, Millie was asked what it was like to live on her own since the breakup.
She shared a photo of the stunning countryside view from her window and wrote: "I mean it’s not the best thing in the world [at the moment].
"I need to start loving my own company again. Sometimes I do, but majority of the time I have people over or I’m out to keep myself busy. I’ll get there eventually."
She added: "I’ll be moving out of this place hopefully towards the end of the year, fresh start for 2023."
Last week, it was revealed that Liam had moved into his own home
Love Island co-star Toby Aromolaran told OK!: “I feel like both of them are doing okay. They’re just doing their separate lives now.
“Liam moved to Essex and I think he’s [now] got his new apartment down there.”
The popular couple shot to fame on the ITV show, easily beating their co-stars to the £50,000 prize pot.
Most read in Love Island
But a year after finding love, they announced they'd gone their separate ways, leaving fans stunned.
Millie, 25, said on Instagram: "Hi everyone, to avoid any speculation Liam and I wanted to share with you that we have separated.
"It's been a tough decision and I am gutted but it's ultimately what is best for us right now. Thank you to every single one of you for supporting our relationship.
"Nothing will ever take away from the amazing experience we shared in Love Island and the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does.
"We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next. Love, Millie."
The couple cuddled up on holiday in Portugal just two weeks before officially separating.
A source told the Mail that the pair had been growing apart for some time.
They said: "It's been really hard for both Millie and Liam to come to this decision but after weeks of growing apart, they have come to the conclusion it's the best thing for them both.
"There has been no drama or wrongdoing and they both still fully support each other and will remain close friends."

Judge grants Trump bid for special master in Mar-a-Lago case
In a legal victory for former President Donald Trump, a federal judge on Monday granted his request for a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from his Florida home and temporarily halted the Justice Department’s use of the records for investigative purposes.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon authorizes an outside legal expert to review the records taken during the Aug. 8 search and to weed out from the rest of the investigation any that might be protected by claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. Some of those records may ultimately be returned to Trump, but the judge put off a ruling on that question.
The order came despite the strenuous objections of the Justice Department, which said a special master was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents. The department said Monday that it was reviewing the decision but did not indicate if and when it might appeal.
The order almost certainly slows the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago, particularly given the judge’s directive that the Justice Department may not for the moment use any of the seized materials as part of its investigation into the storage of government secrets at the Florida property. The injunction is in place until the yet-to-be-named special master completes his or her work, or until “further court order.”
“The Court is mindful that restraints on criminal prosecutions are disfavored, but finds that these unprecedented circumstances call for a brief pause to allow for neutral, third-party review to ensure a just process with adequate safeguards,” Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote in her 24-page order.
Even so, it is not clear that the decision will present a long-term impediment to the investigation's progress or significantly affect investigative decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe. And a separate assessment by the U.S. intelligence community of the risk posed by the apparent mishandling of classified records will continue under the judge's order.
“While this is a victory for the former President, it is by no means an overwhelming win for him,” David Weinstein, a Florida criminal defense lawyer and former Justice Department prosecutor, said in an email. “While it is a setback for the government, it is also not a devastating loss for them.”
He noted, for instance, that the judge did not immediately order the seized documents returned to Trump or suppress any of the evidence.
Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said Monday that “the United States is examining the opinion and will consider appropriate next steps in the ongoing litigation.” A lawyer for Trump did not respond to a request for comment.
The department and Trump's lawyers are to submit by Friday a list of proposed special master candidates.
FBI agents in August seized roughly 11,000 documents and 1,800 other items from Mar-a-Lago as part of a criminal investigation into the retention of national defense information there, as well as into efforts to obstruct the probe. About 100 of the documents contained classification markings.
Trump’s lawyers had argued that a special master, usually an outside lawyer or former judge, was necessary to ensure an independent review of records taken during the search and so that any personal information or documents could be filtered out and returned to Trump.
In this case, the seized records “include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information,” the judge's order said.
Cannon said it was too soon to know whether Trump will be entitled to the return of any of the records, but “for now, the circumstances surrounding the seizure in this case and the associated need for adequate procedural safeguards are sufficiently compelling to at least get Plaintiff past the courthouse doors.”
She also said she found persuasive his lawyers' arguments that he faced potentially “irreparable injury” by being denied access to records that might be of significant personal interest to him. She said the investigative process had, so far, been “closed off” to him.
“As a function of Plaintiff’s former position as President of the United States, the stigma associated with the subject seizure is in a league of its own,” Cannon wrote. “A future indictment, based to any degree on property that ought to be returned, would result in reputational harm of a decidedly different order of magnitude.”
The Justice Department had argued against the appointment, saying it was unnecessary because it had already reviewed potentially privileged documents and identified a limited subset that could be covered by attorney-client privilege.
The department had been using a separate “privilege review team” for that work, but Cannon cited at least two instances in which members of the investigative team were “exposed” to potentially privileged material, something she said raised questions about the adequacy of the process.
The department had also said Trump was not entitled to the return of any of the presidential records that were taken since he is no longer president and the documents therefore do not belong to him. And personal items that were recovered were commingled with classified information, giving them potential evidentiary value, the department said.
Though prosecutors had argued that Trump, as a former president, had no legal basis to assert executive privilege over the documents, the judge said he was entitled to raise it as a concern and permitted the special master to look for records that might be covered by that privilege.
“The major sticking point, I think, is that the executive privilege documents were included” in the judge’s decision, said Florida criminal defense lawyer Richard Serafini, a former Justice Department prosecutor.
Cannon, who was nominated by Trump in 2020, had signaled last month that she was inclined to appoint a special master and did so again during arguments last week, asking at one point, “Ultimately, what is the harm in the appointment of a special master to sort through these issues without creating undue delay?”

A former congressional candidate in Virginia has claimed that COVID-19 is God’s punishment for homosexuality, which he maintains must be criminalized in the United States.
Heerak Christian Kim, who sought the Republican Party nomination for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District, made the outlandish claim in a video posted to Twitter on August 29.
“Many Christians believe that COVID-19 is punishment by God against #America because of legal protection of homosexuality which the Holy Bible requires that nations illegalize (sic) by national, state, local laws,” Kim wrote on Twitter.
In the attached video — filmed from the Las Vegas Strip — Kim talked about enjoying Las Vegas before abruptly pivoting to discuss how COVID-19 continues to hospitalize and kill people.
“COVID hasn’t gone away,” he said. “I assure you, there are people dying from COVID every day, right now, even people who are fully COVID vaccinated, even for people who are double boosted. Your magical kingdom can just evaporate overnight. So if you think COVID-19 has gone away, you’re just fooling yourself.”
Kim claimed the reason for the pandemic is a divine punishment for homosexuality. He then compared the current pandemic to the 10 plagues in the Book of Exodus. In the Biblical story, God sends 10 successive plagues to Egypt to penalize the Pharaoh for refusing to let Jewish slaves go free.
“Christians are saying until homosexuality is illegalized (sic) in the United States of America, Americans can expect God to punish America, send plague after plague,” Kim ranted. “COVID-19 is only the first plague. And there are more plagues coming.”
To end COVID-19, Kim called for federal and state governments to criminalize homosexuality, saying gay people should be tried, convicted and executed.
Historically, homosexuality was criminalized in early colonial America and could be punished by death until the 19th century. South Carolina was the last state to repeal the death penalty in 1873. Homosexuality could still be punished at the state level with imprisonment or other penalties for the first half of the 20th century, although those laws began to be repealed in more recent decades, with all remaining state anti-sodomy laws being declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2003.
However, Kim’s interpretation of religion — and his prescription for same-sex relations — is far from a universal stance among Christians.
The Human Rights Campaign, for one, published an article by the Christian educator Myles Markham at Columbia Theological Seminary pointing out some of the alternate Biblical interpretations surrounding homosexuality.
Because the Biblical context of same-sex relationships was so different from today’s, Markham argues that “Christians have a moral imperative to reconsider their interpretation of what the Bible says about LGBTQ+ identities.”
Kim’s homophobic views failed to win him much support in his Virginia primary. He won only 17 votes in the Republican primary. Karina Lipsman, who won the Republican nomination, will now face Democratic incumbent Congressman Don Beyer Jr., as well as Teddy Fikre, an independent candidate, in the general election.
Kim’s Twitter bio has already adjusted to his loss, now declaring that he will run as a “MAGA America First candidate” in 2024.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

Dino-killing asteroid impact ignited instant fires over 1,500 mile-radius - ‘devastating’
THE ASTEROID that wiped out the dinosaurs instantly ignited forest fires more than 1,500 miles from the impact zone, a study has concluded.
Dinosaur fossil from asteroid strike discovered in North Dakota
Scientists have estimated that the impactor that struck the Yucatan peninsula, where Mexico is today, 66 million years ago was a whopping six miles wide. The space rock is credited with setting off a mass extinction that killed off more than 75 percent of all living animal and plant species including, famously, the dinosaurs. Palaeontologists believe that wildfires raged in the wake of the impact. However, the exact cause and extent of these infernos has been the subject of much debate.
To investigate further, geologist Professor Ben Kneller of the University of Aberdeen and his colleagues analysed rocks and fossils dating back to the time of the impact.
They concluded that wildfires broke out within minutes — at the very most — of the impact event, in areas as far as 1,553 miles from the impact site.
According to the team, the wildfires that broke out in coastal areas were extremely short-lived.
The asteroid, they explained — which landed in a shallow sea — set off a mega-tsunami, the backwash from which appears to have swept charred trees offshore.
The team were able to reach this conclusion by studying fossilised tree bark that shows signs of having already been partially burnt prior to becoming part of the tsunami deposits.
This means that the fires must have followed shortly in the wake of the initial impact.
As to what exactly caused the conflagrations, the researchers have two hypotheses.
Either the impact caused a fireball of immense magnitude, they said — else the fires were set by the heat of droplets of melting rock falling from the sky in the wake of the impact.

Prof. Kneller said: “What triggered these forest wildfires and their extent and timing have been debated for quite a while.
“Until now, it has not been clear whether the fires were caused as a direct result of the impact or subsequently.
In the latter hypothesis, he explained, argued that “vegetation killed by the post-impact darkness — caused by the debris thrown up into the atmosphere — was set ablaze by things such as lightning strikes.
“By assembling this international team, we were able to apply a unique combination of chemical, isotopic , palaeontological, palaeobotanical and spectroscopic techniques, along with geological mapping, firstly to confirm that the rocks we analysed date precisely from the impact.”

Next, Prof. Kneller explained, the team “analysed fossilised bark still attached to the tree trunks to determine the extent of the burning, finding that the bark was already charred as the trees were washed away by the impact-related tsunami.
“This shows that the fires must have begun within minutes, at most, of impact.
“Ultimately, our research confirms how and when these devastating fires were begun and paints a vivid and quite terrifying picture of what happened in the immediate aftermath of the meteorite strike.”
The full findings of the study were published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Bianca Balti as Angelina Jolie: she will remove tubes and ovaries
ROME – The model Bianca Balti has done outing: has the BRCA1 genetic mutation which exposes tohigh risk of developing some cancers at a young age, and will remove the tubes and ovaries for safety. A story that brings to mind the famous confession of Angelina Jolie that after the prophylactic mastectomy, she decided to remove the ovaries and avert that death fate that had torn her young mother from her. Women who in addition to breathtaking beauty share a will of high risk e a difficult existential battle made up of courage and determination.
“25% of ovarian cancer cases are attributable to the mutation of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. There is a lack of effective screening tools in this neoplasm and about 80% of patients already present the disease at an advanced stage at the time of diagnosis ”. So says the Italian Association of Medical Oncology (Aiom) in a note.
“Knowing the mutational status of these two genes is very important and the BRCA test should be performed on all patients at the time of diagnosis.. This is the way forward to define the best therapeutic strategies and start the family path that can allow the identification of healthy people with BRCA mutation, in which to set up intensive medical and surgical surveillance programs, to reduce the risk of developing the ovarian cancer. The preventive surgical removal must therefore be part of an articulated path of oncogenetic consultancy in specialized centers “. It is the comment of Saverio Cinieri, President of AIOM (Italian Association of Medical Oncology), to the declaration of the model Bianca Balti, who revealed that she wanted to undergo the removal of tubes and ovaries after discovering that she was a carrier of the BRCA1 gene mutation.
“It has been estimated that the risk reduction strategies (medical and surgical), implemented in healthy relatives positive to the preventive genetic test, are able to lead to a 40% reduction in the incidence of ovarian cancer in 10 years – explains Saverio Cinieri- Of the 5200 new diagnoses every year in Italy, 1300 are caused by alterations in these two genes. BRCA1 and BRCA2 produce proteins capable of blocking the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells. When they are mutated, that is, defective, the DNA is not repaired correctly and an accumulation of genetic alterations occurs, which increases the risk of cancer. A mutation of BRCA1 and BRCA2, inherited from the mother or the father, therefore determines a predisposition to develop the tumor more frequently than the general population. “. Women who inherit the BRCA1 mutation have a 40% chance of developing ovarian cancer in their lifetime. The percentages are lower for the BRCA2 gene, equal to 18%.
“Information on the possible presence of the BRCA mutation must be acquired at the time of diagnosis, because it can contribute to the definition of a correct treatment path that starts from the first line of treatment – continues the President of AIOM-E, in family members who have the mutation , intensive surveillance programs must be launched, ranging from six-monthly checks to surgical removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries ”.
“On the one hand, in women who wish to have children – concludes President Cinieri – a six-monthly control of a tumor marker (CA-125) is recommended together with transvaginal gynecological ultrasound. On the other hand, surgical removal of tubes and ovaries (bilateral prophylactic adnexectomy) can prevent almost all ovarian cancers on a genetic-hereditary basis.. Prophylactic surgery is now recommended in women with a genetic mutation who have already had pregnancies or who are in menopause. Sharing of choice and psychological support are fundamental, especially in women still of childbearing age. In making these decisions, the age of the woman, the type of mutation and the planning of any pregnancy must therefore be considered. The surgical removal of tubes and ovaries then makes pregnancy impossible, unless the oocytes have been frozen in advance, an option chosen by Bianca Balti ”.

6 key takeaways from Ohio State's full Big Ten schedule
Less than two months until the official start of the season, Ohio State now knows exactly what lies ahead.
Thursday afternoon, the Big Ten officially announced the league’s full slate of conference games for the 2022-23 season. With 14 teams playing 20 conference games, Big Ten teams play seven opponents home and away, three others at home only and three others on the road only. It’s an imperfect science that can unintentionally create unbalanced schedules across the league depending on which teams draw multiple matchups with others, but it’s a reality as conferences continue to expand.

Ohio State Buckeyes:What are the biggest shots in Ohio State men's basketball history?
The Buckeyes had announced their non-conference schedule, which includes a trip to the Maui Invitational, a road game against Duke and a neutral-court one against North Carolina, weeks ago. Tip times and broadcast details for Big Ten games will be announced sometime next week, but here are some immediate takeaways from Ohio State’s schedule reveal.
1. Where are the home weekend games?
If you just can’t make it for a weeknight tip because work or childcare force you to get up too early the next morning, you’re going to have a tough time seeing the Buckeyes at Value City Arena this season. Ohio State doesn’t host a weekend Big Ten game until Jan. 21 when Iowa comes to down for a Saturday game. It’s one of only three weekend Big Ten games this season for the Buckeyes, and by the time the Hawkeyes arrive the Buckeyes will have played seven conference games.
Ohio State's other two weekend games are on Sundays. One of them, arguably the biggest conference draw of the season (Michigan State), comes to Value City Arena on Super Bowl Sunday. For point of reference, Ohio State’s Big Ten home opener last season was a Saturday tip against Wisconsin and six of the 10 Big Ten games were on Saturday or Sunday (although COVID-19 did have a significant impact on the second half of the season).
The non-conference doesn’t help much, either. Ohio State will host St. Francis on Saturday, Dec. 3, but otherwise the other five non-conference games will be played on weekdays.
Either way, it’s not a great recipe for ticket sales.
2. Twenty-six days of stress
With so much turnover among Big Ten rosters this season, it’s difficult to have an accurate read on which teams will ultimately challenge for a spot near the top of the Big Ten standings. Even with that caveat in mind, Ohio State has an eight-game stretch from late January through mid-February that reads like a veritable Murderers’ Row of opponents.
Starting with a Jan. 24 game at Illinois, the Buckeyes will play seven of eight games against teams that figure to be NCAA Tournament participants. That run ends with a Feb. 19 game at Purdue and also features road dates with Indiana (Jan. 28), Michigan (Feb. 5), Iowa (Feb. 16) and Purdue (Feb. 19) as well as the home date against Michigan State. In his offseason Top 25 And 1 rankings, CBSSports’ Gary Parrish has the Hoosiers ranked No. 17, the Wolverines No. 19 and Purdue No. 22.
The lone game in that stretch not against a team expected to challenge for an NCAA Tournament berth is a Feb. 9 home date with Northwestern.
3. Will the season finale mean something?
Late-season injuries have played a big role in Ohio State faltering down the stretch during each of the last two seasons. In 2020-21, the Buckeyes entered the Big Ten tournament on a four-game losing streak. Last season, Joey Brunk played the game of his life to lead Ohio State past Michigan State and otherwise prevent it from again taking a four-game losing streak into the postseason.
It won’t be easy, but Ohio State will have the benefit of home rims for a three-game stretch that leads into a senior day showdown at Michigan State for a third time in the last eight years. After the aforementioned nine-game stretch, the Buckeyes will host Penn State on Feb. 23, Illinois on Feb. 26 and Maryland on March 1 for a Wednesday night senior day.
Depending on how the 29-day stretch leading into the game against the Nittany Lions goes, this could be a critical juncture for the Buckeyes to gather themselves before going into East Lansing in search of their first win there in a decade. And given the animosity that built up between the fanbases last season, that Sunday date with Illinois has the potential for some serious juice.
4. There’s a path to a strong start
Although the level of competition figures to pick up near the midseason mark, Ohio State does open with a favorable stretch of games. The Buckeyes play just one December game when they host Rutgers on Dec. 8, then kick off 2023 with a New Year’s Day game at Northwestern.
By the time Ohio State finishes a Jan. 21 home game with Iowa, it will have evenly split its first eight games between home and away with five of them against teams currently projected to miss the NCAA Tournament according to ESPN’s Joe Lunardi.
5. Ohio State’s single- and double-plays don’t help a team of newcomers
This isn’t exactly news, given that the Big Ten released its list of how many times teams would play each other nearly three months ago, it merits repeating that Ohio State’s randomly assigned single- and double-plays could have broken better for the Buckeyes.
Lunardi projects eight Big Ten teams to make the NCAA Tournament: Rutgers, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Michigan State and Ohio State. The Buckeyes have three teams they only play at home, and none of them are on that list: Minnesota, Penn State and Wisconsin. Ohio State’s three road-only opponents are Nebraska, Indiana and Michigan.
Not only does Ohio State not get to host its two primary rivals (and ticket-sellers) in the Hoosiers and Wolverines, but five of its seven double-play opponents are projected to make the NCAA Tournament by Lunardi: Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, Iowa and Michigan State.
6. Opportunities for signature wins abound
The flip side of it all is that Ohio State will have plenty of opportunities to bolster its resume with games against quality competition. If the Buckeyes take a couple of losses in the non-conference (and with games at Duke, against San Diego State to open the Maui Invitational and against North Carolina in the CBS Sports Classic, they almost certainly will), this schedule will give them opportunities to compensate and pick up important wins against NCAA Tournament-caliber foes.

Everything You Need to Know About ‘House of Hammer’
Few scandals have rocked Hollywood like the one involving actor Armie Hammer. Star of The Social Network and Call Me by Your Name, Hammer has spent over a decade as one of the film industry’s leading men, swooned over for his clean-cut looks and good-boy image.
Now, the discovery+ docuseries House of Hammer details the shocking allegations against Hammer and the dark history of his wealthy family.
The Armie Hammer scandal
Beginning in January of 2021, allegations about Hammer begin to circulate on social media. The first involved an Instagram account, @houseofeffie, which claimed Hammer sexually abused her throughout their four-year relationship. The user shared shocking texts she claims Hammer sent her. These messages detailed the actor’s desire to perform graphic and violent acts of sexual abuse on her, sexual fantasies involving cannibalism, and a desire to drink her blood.
By February, two more women claiming to be former Hammer’s partners came forward. Their allegations echoed @houseofeffie’s, with claims of sexual abuse including branding, coercion, and more violence.
Screenshots from Hammer’s secondary Instagram (confirmed by Hammer in his statement made to Cayman Compass) also leaked on the internet revealing photos and videos of women in bondage with several posts Hammer captioned with degrading comments about women.
On February 3, 2021, LAPD opened an investigation on the 36-year-old actor.
At a press conference in March 2021, a woman named Effie appeared publicly, alleging Hammer violently sexually abused her for hours in April of 2017. “During those four hours, I tried to get away but he wouldn’t let me. I thought that he was going to kill me. He then left with no concern for my well-being,” Effie says in the video, according to The Wrap.
In response, Hammer denied all of the women’s claims. However, the investigation is still ongoing.
How to watch ‘House of Hammer’
Released on September 3, 2022, the only way to watch House of Hammer currently is through a subscription to discovery+. The platform currently offers two different subscription plans; one for $4.99/per month which includes ads, and one for $6.99/per month to avoid ads.
Both plans currently include a free seven-day trial period. Those with Amazon Prime can easily add the channel to their Prime subscription for the same subscription fees (free trial included) and may cancel at any time.
‘House of Hammer’ reveals a long history of serious abuse allegations within the Hammer family.
Co-produced by Hammer’s aunt, Casey Hammer, House of Hammer alleges that Armie’s alleged violent, degrading, and criminal behavior did not begin with him. Over the course of three hour-long episodes, Casey unearths several generations of the Hammer family history, alleging that Armie learned his behavior from his father, uncle, and grandfather, the oil tycoon, Armand Hammer.
Pointing to well-documented evidence of her family’s wrongdoings, Armie’s aunt paints a terrifying picture of the Hammer family men’s decades of violence, controlling tendencies, massive subversive political dealings, and sexual abuse. “Every generation in my family has been involved in dark misdeeds, and it just gets worse and worse.” Hammer’s aunt claims in the series, according to Collider. “… Now it is Armie Hammer.”
Joining Casey are several women who claim sexual abuse from Armie, including his ex-girlfriend, Courtney Vucekovich, and Julia Morrison. The project includes statements from a third alleged victim, Paige Lorenze, as well, though Lorenze does not appear in person.
Interestingly, the series ends with Armie’s aunt reading a letter from her brother claiming the content of House of Hammer to be false, requesting she abandon her claims, and threatening legal ramifications.
No legal action appears to be taken yet against Casey , who also independently published much of the series’ content in her 2015 book Surviving My Birthright. However, readers will note that the 2015 version was followed by a 2021 version with the title Surviving My Birthright: The Authorized Version, provoking questions as to why the title change was necessary.
Also, it should be noted that House of Hammer claims Armie declined to be interviewed for the series. No criminal charges have been brought against Armie to date.

he received them in the palace and they reveal why he started following them
2022-09-08
The biggest sales in history and in football occurred during the lifetime presence of the Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away this Thursday.
During his 70 years as monarch in the United Kingdom, 20 Olympic Games, 17 World Cups, 67 Champions Leagues, 70 FA Cups and the same number of championships were held in the United Kingdom. First division from England.
isabellawho lived for 96 years, was crowned after the 1953 FA Cup final. It was in the following decade that passion for football began to be born, according to sources familiar with the British Royal House.
Well, they assure that the highest authority had a predilection for West Ham in the 60s, precisely when Bobby Moore he was the captain, to whom in 1966 he gave the World Cup trophy that was played at home.
– Love for the Gunners –
But it was not until almost half a century later that he would show much more sympathy for a club. This was the Arsenal of Arsene Wenger that amazed Europe in the early 2000s.
It was in 2007 that he received them at Buckingham Palace after winning an FA Cup, although his affection for the Gunners dates back to when the Londoners won the Premier League without losing a single game in the 2003/2004 season.
The Arsenal of the ‘Invincibles’ created the fascination of the British performer. This was confirmed by a club player at the time, the Spanish Cesc Fabregas: “The queen is a big fan of Arsenal,” he said after visiting in 2007.

- Fifth generation RX ushers in new era for luxury crossover segment
- First-ever RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD
- New Global Architecture-K (GA-K) platform provides a lighter, lower center of gravity
- Lexus-First available Traffic Jam Assist
- RX-first available Advanced Park
- Four all-new electrified powertrains; RX-first PHEV
- Available by the end of 2022
PLANO, Texas, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The first RX 300 arrived in 1998 as a shiny specimen of an unfamiliar species — never had something like it existed before. Half SUV, half luxury four-door, the all-new model melded each genre's choice attributes into a unique, highly versatile package called the crossover utility vehicle, or CUV.
RX's fortified sedan-based platform wore an avant-garde design (or radiant design, hence the model's full name, Radiant Crossover), and inside, passengers enjoyed high seating positions with expansive sightlines and room for everyone. RX's refined on- and soft-road demeanor, plush comfort and available all-wheel drive capability quickly made it a bona fide hit.
By the end of 1998, approximately 42,000 were sold in North America. RX didn't push the luxury crossover's standard forward. RX created it.
For more than 20 years, RX's five generations have redefined the luxury crossover space. And from first to fifth, a vibrant verve known as omotenashi, or anticipatory hospitality, has perpetuated in their crafting, compelling designers and engineers to exceed the ever-demanding requirements of guests.
The all-new 2023 RX is no exception to this rule, adding extraordinary refinement to its legacy. Innovative computational analysis, an integration of enhanced materials and repeatable high-stress testing performed at the Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama have realized the best version of RX to date.
The all-new RX aims to exceed their needs through a myriad of technological, stylistic and innovative improvements. RX offers a highly diverse powertrain portfolio encompassing Lexus Electrified variants, as well as the Lexus-first DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system. And, for the first time ever, a plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) variant will be available.
The new RX further elevates the Lexus Driving Signature fundamentals that launched with the IS. Direct responsiveness, with control at the top of mind, are understood and appreciated at the slightest depression of the RX's accelerator or tilt of the steering wheel, enabling clear input and response.
The 2023 RX will be offered in six grades: Standard, Premium, RX-first Premium+, Luxury, F SPORT Handling and RX-first, F SPORT Performance.
From the new, more robust Global Architecture-K platform and accommodating cabin packaging to the stunning exterior's sleek aerodynamics and the seamless power distribution and delivery via DIRECT4 AWD, anticipating the needs of guests remains a foundational element for RX.
The 2023 RX rides atop the GA-K platform, which is 198-pounds lighter than the previous platform. Its center of gravity is 0.6 inches lower versus its predecessor thanks to its use of stronger metals (such as 1180 MPa steel on side rockers, 1470 MPa steel for the roof, and 2GPa steel for B-pillars) and innovative adhesives and welds.
Overall rigidity improves as well with the addition of bracing at the radiator support, center floor, rear suspension towers and back door opening. Although the 2023 RX remains 192.5 inches long, its wheelbase grows by 2.36 inches to 112.2 inches and its track is widened by 0.59 inches to 65 inches in front and 1.77 inches to 66 inches in the rear. The rear section of the platform features an all-new multi-link suspension design, attached to a rigid high-torsion rear body frame that facilitates more consistent suspension input/travel during acceleration, deceleration and steering moments.
The GA-K platform also increases the front/rear couple distance, resulting in more legroom for rear passengers. RX guests will also enjoy increased cargo space and a lowered back door trim to decrease loading height.
The new 275-hp turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine realizes higher torque (317 lb.-ft.) and higher output thanks to several advanced technologies like a center injection system (for more stable combustion), lightweight, spherical lipless pistons (for high-speed combustion) and a continuously variable capacity oil pump (to modify discharge volume based on running conditions). A short-ratio eight-speed Direct Shift-8AT offers an improved shift control program for smooth acceleration and deceleration. The electronically controlled full-time AWD constantly varies the front-to-rear driving force distribution from 75:25 to 50:50 (depending on situation) to achieve an optimal contact patch and linear steering feel.
A hybrid motor coupled with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine with 246 total system horsepower and 233 lb.-ft. of torque is teamed with a high-output, low-resistance nickel-metal hydride battery that offers a high level of output and fuel economy. The 216-cell battery is located below the rear seat, thus enabling improved passenger comfort and storage capacity. RX HEV can be equipped with E-Four, Lexus' innovative all-wheel drive system, which places a motor at the rear axle for near-instantaneous drive force application in low-grip or acceleration scenarios.
Available at a later date in the U.S., RX's first plug-in powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an 18.1-kWh lithium-ion battery and rear E-Four motor to provide powerful acceleration and full-time all-wheel drive.
RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD
A next level of dynamism is realized by the high-performance hybrid 271-hp 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four that's matched to a six-speed automatic gearbox and integrated Power Control Unit and electric motor. At the rear, an 80-kW eAxle consisting of an inverter and motor provides near-instantaneous power to the rear wheels. Together with a high-output, low-resistance nickel-metal hydride battery, the system produces 366 hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque total. A DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system orchestrates a seamless, direct application of drive force between the front and rear axles in milliseconds, thus improving handling, controllability and feel. Body movement is also minimized for more pleasant ride comfort.
A thoroughly revised suspension is affixed to the 2023 RX's new GA-K platform. MacPherson front struts provide sharp turn-in and confident, linear handling. Suspension arms and bushings better absorb the passing road's high frequency vibrations and shocks. The rear's new five-arm multi-link setup is more compact than before, yielding additional cabin space for passengers, cargo and, for hybrid powertrains, battery pack placement.
RX's available AVS system provides a comfortable ride, improved stability and superior steering response. AVS uses linear solenoid-type actuators to modify shock absorbers' damping force with near-instant adjustments that are based on driving operation and road conditions.
Two-piston calipers biting on 13.39-inch front and rear rotors help to curb speed smoothly. For F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance, composed braking arrives via opposed six-piston aluminum calipers and 15.74-inch front rotors. The opposed calipers are 2.4 pounds lighter than those used on the LS and LC.
F SPORT Performance's available DRS system can provide impressive maneuverability. During higher speed maneuvers, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels to give clear, stable turning response. At slower speed, the rear wheels can seamlessly turn in the opposite direction as the front wheels for seamless low speed maneuverability. The DRS system allows for a maximum of 4 degrees steering angle — in phase or counter phase to the front wheels depending on speed.
A spindle body – rather than a spindle grille – reflects the new expression of Lexus design. A seamless grille at the front provides a strong, clean presence and marks the origination of the spindle body that expresses athleticism and finesse in a sophisticated, dynamic shape. RX's optimized proportions reflect the platform's low center of gravity, while the available 19- or 21-inch wheels add stunning flair. At the rear, a single lens taillamp wraps around the body, further emphasizing the RX's wide and low silhouette.
Enhanced aerodynamics equates to enhanced handling and control. The 2023 RX's front fascia's refined shape efficiently directs airflow around the spindle body while cooling its brakes. Other aerodynamic elements include flush window and door molding, a rear spoiler and dimpled underbody covers.
F SPORT Performance grade brings exclusive front and rear bumpers, and a piano black grille and accents. Its exclusive 21-inch wheels wear Michelin® Pilot Sport® tires made from a bespoke compound and tread pattern. Additional black accents and body-colored sills distinguish the Performance model.
The 2023 RX will be offered in 10 exterior color options depending on grade: Ultra White, Eminent White Pearl, Nebula Gray Pearl, Iridium, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Copper Crest, Nori Green Pearl, Nightfall Mica and Grecian Water.
Inside the RX, the tazuna concept, a design vision inspired by the Lexus Driving Signature, intuitively orients all essential controls and information (e.g., gauges, available Head-Up Display, meters, etc.) within the driver's reach and forward sightline and directs the space's expansive, minimalist layout.
Small items can be stowed in several convenient locations. A front cubby located ahead of the gearshift features a front-rear sliding lid and houses an available Qi-compatible wireless mobile device charger and USB connection. The new central console box can be opened from either the driver or passenger side.
Front seats have been designed for accessibility, superior ergonomic comfort and excellent holding capability, even during the longest of commutes or road trips. Passengers in the available 40/20/40 power split-folding rear seat can charge their mobile devices on two USB Type-C outlets (six USB ports are found throughout the vehicle) or an available single AC power socket. The rear seats are available with power folding capabilities and available cooling and heating functions.
Premium materials and patterns decorate the cabin. An available L-shaped pattern adorns the doors and seats. It's inspired by the Japanese kageri aesthetic, which produces a varying three-dimensional expression when lit by outside or interior lighting.
The 2023 RX will be offered in six interior color options with four ornamentation styles depending on grade. Interior colors: Macadamia, Black, Birch, Palomino, Peppercorn and Rioja Red. Ornamentation styles: Black Cascade, Ash Bamboo, Black Open Pore and Dark Graphite Aluminum.
An indirect illumination system resides seamlessly throughout the cabin as an expression of omotenashi. Lighting from a palette of 64 colors and 14 themes can be selected to best match a driver's mood and energy.
For the F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance grades, an exclusive steering wheel and meter reside in front of the driver, while pedals are trimmed with aluminum. The sporty metal decorates the cabin, specifically at the dashboard and cup holder surrounds. Grade-specific front seats offer improved bolstering during cornering. Rioja Red and Black color themes can be selected for an athletic look and feel. F SPORT Performance models are even more distinct with darkened side sill and steering wheel logos.
A standard 9.8-inch or available 14-inch high-definition touchscreen provides easy-to-use controls and clear information to the driver and front-seat passengers. Their glass screens utilize a high-adhesion, anti-reflective coating to realize a vivid display. Menu operations are similar to those found on smartphones and tablets. For additional ease of use by driver and passenger, a center knob located at the screen's bottom edge controls power on/off and volume.
With a Drive Connect trial or subscription, this 100% cloud-capable system integrates with Google points of interest (POI) data to provide faster and more up-to-date search results, more accurate directions and alternate routes based on current traffic conditions. Offline mode is designed to detect a potential loss of signal and download applicable maps and services in advance.
With an active Drive Connect trial or subscription, Intelligent Assistant ushers in a new era of convenience for guests. Designed with dual microphones, enhanced noise cancellation and seat detection capabilities for greater voice-recognition accuracy, by simply saying "Hey Lexus," available voice commands can operate certain interior amenities, such as navigation, multimedia and climate control.
With an active Remote Connect subscription, guests can utilize their compatible smartphone as a vehicle key through the Lexus app. The digital key can allow for the control of door locks and enables additional usability when car sharing, during valet parking or home delivery of packages to the RX's cargo area.
Through wired or wireless connection, users can access many of their favorite apps and control menus via their preferred mobile device ecosystem.
Use the Lexus app to remotely lock or unlock the doors, start the engine and adjust the climate control, check vehicle health and more.
Guests can use Lexus Safety Connect for access to exceptional service in case of emergency/vehicle theft.
Available via the Lexus app, Service Connect can connect a compatible Lexus and dealer to provide detailed maintenance reminders and Vehicle Health Reports.
Essential information such as a speedometer and shift position, and other information including navigational directions and the information displayed during the use of Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist and Road Sign Assist, can be safely displayed in front of the driver's field of vision. The display's positioning can be linked to a driver's seat position memory function.
The available 21-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound tuned for the RX's cabin delivers high-quality audio. The system incorporates Mark Levinson QLS (Quantum Logic Surround) sound technology to provide stage-like, full-bodied, balanced tones to all passengers regardless of seating position.
The intuitive driver's aid system can help in various maneuvers, such as when perpendicular parking/exiting and parallel parking/exiting. Four Parallel View Monitor (PVM) cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors provide visual data to support the automatic control of steering, accelerator, brake, and shift operations.
When exiting the luxury crossover, standard Digital Latch and Safe Exit Assist can detect a vehicle or bicycle approaching from the rear and prevent the occupant from opening the door if it senses danger.
This available technology can monitor surrounding traffic in condensed, low-speed driving situations and automatically move forward and brake as needed to keep a set following distance behind the preceding vehicle. In addition to providing hands-free steering assistance, this system can automatically bring the vehicle to a complete stop, then resume its path of travel as forward traffic begins to move.
*Available by subscription. 4G network dependent. See lexus.com/interface for details.
One of the hallmarks of RX's success is its dependable safety features. For 2023, the all-new Lexus RX comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which provides additional features and an available driver monitor system.
Pre-Collision System (PCS) – engineered to help detect a vehicle or pedestrian in the path of your Lexus under certain conditions. Should it detect a potential frontal collision, it's designed to automatically prepare Brake Assist for increased brake force and, in some cases, can even automatically brake the vehicle to a stop. The enhanced radar and camera capabilities make it possible for the system to also help detect a preceding motorcycle or bicyclist in daytime and a preceding pedestrian in daytime and low-light conditions. Additionally, the Pre-Collision System has left-turn intersection detection capability for a pedestrian and vehicle.
Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) – When system operating conditions are met, using the vehicle's camera and radar, Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) provides gentle braking into curves or gentle braking and/or steering to help control distance between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist.
Road Sign Assist – uses a built-in camera to help provide select road sign information in the instrument panel or in the Head-Up Display.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA) – designed to provide an audible alert if an unintended lane departure is detected. With Steering Assist, it can take corrective measure with a slight pull on the steering wheel.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) - This feature works in conjunction with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. The lane recognition performance has been enhanced to realize smoother and less disruptive steering support while detecting preceding vehicles and/or the lines on the road to help drivers stay centered in their lanes.
Intelligent High Beam – provides greater visibility for drivers with added illumination when the road ahead is clear, then temporarily switches to low beams when it detects the headlamps or taillamps of vehicles ahead.
All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management (DRCC) – Dynamic Radar Cruise Control – uses radar and camera technology to help the driver maintain a preset speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead.
The 2023 RX will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Toyota Motor Kyushu and the vehicle is expected to go on sale later this year. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) information will be announced closer to the on-sale date.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jakubowitz Law announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of shareholders of Kiromic BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: KRBP).
To receive updates on the lawsuit, fill out the form:
https://claimyourloss.com/securities/kiromic-biopharma-inc-loss-submission-form/?id=31462&from=4
This lawsuit is on behalf of a class consisting of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired: (a) Kiromic common stock issued in connection with the Company's public offering that closed on July 2, 2021 and/or (b) Kiromic common stock between June 25, 2021 and August 13, 2021, both dates inclusive.
Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until October 4, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
The complaint alleges that the registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Company's public offering that closed on July 2, 2021 (the "Offering Documents") failed to disclose that the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") had, prior to the filing of these documents, imposed a clinical hold on the Company's Investigational New Drug ("IND") applications for its two new drug candidates. Given that the offering closed on July 2, 2021, more than thirty (30) days after the Company submitted the IND applications for its two immunotherapy product candidates, investors were assured that no clinical hold had been issued and clinical trials would commence.

TORONTO (AP) — Elton John paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at his final concert in Toronto on Thursday night, saying he was inspired by her and is sad she is gone.
“She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace and decency and genuine caring,” John said.
“I’m 75 and she’s been with with me all my life and I feel very sad that that she won’t be with me anymore, but I’m glad she’s at peace,” he said. “I’m glad she’s at rest and she deserves it. She worked bloody hard.”
The singer-songwriter then performed his 1974 track “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.”
The queen died Thursday at her summer residence in Scotland at age 96.
John was knighted by the queen in 1998, a year after the death of his friend Princess Diana. Prince Charles also anointed the musician and charity patron as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honor last year.
John’s concert was the second of two nights at Toronto’s Rogers Centre and part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, billed as his final tour.

Mark Drakeford has criticised the Prime Minister’s plan for tackling soaring energy prices, saying it “offers nothing further” to help families with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Liz Truss announced in the House of Commons on Thursday that she would freeze energy bills for two years, ensuring households would pay no more than £2,500 a year on gas and electricity.
Wales’ First Minister welcomed the “certainty” the move would provide people in the short term.
However, he said it would not help families with the general rise in inflation, particularly the soaring cost of food.
Speaking in the centre of Cardiff, Mr Drakeford said: “This does nothing to help families with the general cost of inflation, in food inflation or the other prices that are rising.
“It offers nothing further to help families with the very steep increase in energy prices that has already taken place from April of this year.
“It provides no clarity so far on how the package of help is to be paid for.
“I want to say again that the right way to pay for the costs of energy in households and businesses is to levy a windfall tax on the excess profits of those companies who are making excess profits out of the energy crisis.”
Asked how much he would see energy companies taxed over and above what they pay in corporation tax, Mr Drakeford said: “What you would need to do is look at not just the profits that companies make in normal times, but where those profits have now got to as a result of global energy price resets.
“Then you make a decision as to what is reasonable in those circumstances, to recycle that money away from excess profits and into the hands of families who will struggle every week this winter, simply to heat their homes and to keep the lights on.”
He said Labour Party plans estimated taking about £60 billion from excess profits of £150 billion.
Responding to Ms Truss’ rejection of a windfall tax to pay for the energy price freeze, Mr Drakeford said it was a reflection of the Prime Minister’s ideology.
“She [Ms Truss] wrongly believes that the taxpayer should go on paying this bill for years and years to come, loading the debt onto children and people who come after us,” he said.
“That’s not the way I think of the economy. Nor do I think it’s the way that people in Wales think of it either.”
Mr Drakeford said the Welsh Government would be drawing together a package of support for people in Wales but claimed “the major levers remained in the hands of the UK Government”.
Following Ms Truss revealing that fracking for shale gas would recommence in England, Mr Drakeford confirmed there would be no fracking in Wales and the Welsh Government would focus on producing renewable energy.
“The way to create energy security for the future is to invest in renewable energy in which Wales has such abundance,” Mr Drakeford said.
“In that way we would not only create a secure supply, affordable energy, but we would do so in a way that was making a contribution to, and not in contradiction of, the climate crisis.”
He continued: “I don’t want to see a future where we return to things we’ve done in the past which has caused climate change.”
Luke Young, from Citizens Advice Cymru, said: “The announcement will provide some reassurance after months of worry amid rising costs.
“However, this alone will not solve the cost-of-living crisis.
“Households in Wales have been struggling for months.
“Across our services, requests for food and fuel crisis support have remained at record highs.
“We must not lose sight of the fact this will still be a difficult winter for low income and vulnerable households.”

Relief bolstered by 40,000 cans of water from Jason Momoa's Mananalu, along with Wine To Water's on-site coordination of filter distribution, refills, and recycling
BOONE, N.C., Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Global clean water nonprofit, Wine To Water (W|W) coordinated a water emergency relief effort in the recently flood-ravaged Jackson, Mississippi region. The floods created a water crisis, and while W|W put boots on the ground and is delivering clean water, they are joined by Mananalu, Jason Momoa's company, which provided 40,000 cans of drinking water.
W|W is leading emergency response, including delivering water and water filtration as well as a unit onsite that will bale both plastic and aluminum to prepare them for recycling. The Mananalu cans are resealable and reusable.
"We are pleased to offer Mananalu's services to the community to ensure that they have access to clean water. Wine To Water's emergency response team on the ground is making sure recycling is happening on-site, which is hugely important. Our vision of a healthy life for people and the planet mandates we do everything we can to reduce plastic waste and leave a clean environment. For this reason, we are proud to partner with Wine To Water in responding to the Jackson, Mississippi water crisis," said David Cuthbert, chief executive officer of Mananalu. "In addition to limiting single-use plastic in the crisis area, we also commit to removing additional plastic from ocean-going waste through our drink one/remove one program on behalf of this effort."
A U.S. water emergency is happening right now in Jackson. Though water is running through pipes again, at the time of publication, water is still under a boil advisory from the Jackson Water Sewer Business Administration (WSBA). The population of over 150,000 includes many families that still lack clean, treated drinking water. W|W is mobilizing the reusable cans of water from Mananalu, and other water for distribution. Additionally, a mobile recycling truck and team will assist in delivering water to hard-hit areas, while also reducing environmental impact from short-term water supplies.
Jackson residents are urged to keep their aluminum bottles and come back to the W|W stations to refill them as needed. Along with this effort, W|W is also providing tap water filters for use in homes in key areas, many of which are still under a boil alert. Filters used by this organization are distributed all over the world for communities with no access to clean water; providing them to the people of Jackson will make a significant impact.
"Our hearts are heavy for the people of Jackson. We hope for a swift resolution to the crisis. In the meantime, we're thankful for our partnership with Mananalu. Thousands of people will now benefit from their generous donation of canned water. Thanks to our emergency response team and the recycling unit on the ground in Jackson, we'll be removing and recycling the empty cans from the water and the millions of plastic bottles making their way to Jackson every day," said Doc Hendley, the founder and international president of W|W who was honored as a CNN Hero for his work bringing clean water to people who need it.
Individuals, groups, and corporations can donate to Wine to Water and help support their efforts in Jackson, Mississippi and abroad. Please visit WineToWater.org to donate or learn about ways to give.
Wine To Water (W|W) is a global clean water organization committed to preserving life and dignity through the power of clean water, helping over 1.4 million people in 51 countries gain access to safe and clean water. Founded in 2004, W|W relentlessly seeks an end to the root cause of global poverty by providing sustainable water solutions in communities around the world. To accomplish our mission and vision, we develop WASH (water, sanitation, hygiene) solutions in direct partnership with local leaders through water access, water filtration, hygiene education, and sanitation. W|W programs are active in Nepal, the Dominican Republic, the Amazon, and Tanzania. Disaster response efforts by W|W are ongoing in the United States and around the world. Their clean water projects and filter builds are catalysts for environmental sustainability, education, women's empowerment, healthcare, and economic growth. Wine To Water is a nonprofit organization that depends heavily on volunteers and the generosity of individuals, corporations, and groups to deliver its mission.

Breaking down the biggest matchups of Week 2 in college football led by Alabama's visit to Texas
Wasn’t that fun? Sure, there were a few blowouts in Week 1, but there were plenty of the kinds of wild momentum swings and dramatic finishes that make college football such a tremendous carnival ride every fall.
At first glance, the Week 2 slate might appear less promising. Look closer, however, and there’s actually a lot to like on the calendar. The Saturday lineup features three Top-25 matchups – and almost a fourth – as well as some early conference showdowns in the top-tier leagues.
As always, your preference may vary based upon your own rooting interests, but here’s a look at our picks for the top five games.
No. 1 Alabama at No. 22 Texas
Time/TV: Saturday, noon ET, Fox
Why watch: There’s no disputing this one as the headliner of the week as far as pedigreed programs are concerned. The Crimson Tide play a true non-conference road game against a power-five opponent, which hasn't happened since a trip to Penn State in 2011. This will become a conference contest in the not-too-distant future, of course, so the Alabama coaching staff will embrace this opportunity to become acquainted with the environs in Austin. The Longhorns have bigger notions, however, as they try to produce the first seismic event of the 2022 campaign. Tide QB Bryce Young’s bid for a repeat run to the Heisman got off to a solid start as he accounted for six touchdowns against Utah State. DE Barryn Sorrell and his line mates up front must generate pressure for the Longhorns to have any hope of slowing Young down. The Texas debut of Quinn Ewers against Louisiana-Monroe was also mainly successful, though he was picked off once. He’s going to need ground support from RB Bijan Robinson to keep the chains moving.
Why it could disappoint: The best ‘Bama teams of recent vintage were able to bury even quality opponents quickly. It is the defensive side of the ball where the real mismatch could present itself. Alabama will likely not post a second shutout, but LB Will Anderson and Co. will make it difficult for the Longhorns to keep pace if the Tide can build any kind of a lead.
BOWL PROJECTIONS:Georgia grabs No. 1 seed in College Football Playoff
RE-RANK:Georgia leapfrogs Ohio State for No. 2 spot after big win
SNAP JUDGMENTS:Ohio State's offense lead Week 1 overreactions
No. 20 Kentucky at No. 19 Florida
Time/TV: Saturday, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN
Why watch: Nothing like jumping right into conference play. This is a huge one in the SEC East, with the winner likely to emerge as the perceived primary challenger to Georgia in the division. (Yes, we know, Tennessee fans – we’ll get to you shortly). The Gators had to work until the final minute to prevail against Utah last week, while the Wildcats had a much easier tune-up against Miami (Ohio). Florida fans were eager to see QB Anthony Richardson in action, and he didn’t disappoint with 274 yards of total offense and three rushing TDs against the Utes. He figures to be monitored closely by veteran Wildcats’ LB DeAndre Square. Kentucky QB Will Levis picked up where he left off last season with three TD throws in the opener against the RedHawks, though the RB situation remains uncertain with all-conference performer Chris Rodriguez still suspended and Ramon Jefferson out with a knee injury.
Why it could disappoint: It shouldn’t, though it’s possible the defenses will control matters and keep the flashy plays to a minimum. The personnel issues in the Wildcats’ backfield might leave them ill-equipped to exploit the Gators’ front that surrendered nearly six yards a carry against the potent Utah ground attack.
No. 8 Baylor at No. 25 Brigham Young
Time/TV: Saturday, 10:15 p.m. ET, ESPN
Why watch: This clash of future Big 12 opponents should be worth staying up late. These teams are more than capable of trading scores well into the Provo night. Baylor is the first of the Big 12 favorites to face a significant road test. The Cougars, happy to be back home after last week’s long trip to South Florida, look to avenge last season’s loss in Waco and earn a huge resume boost in their quest for a major bowl. BYU QB Jaren Hall has numerous dynamic weapons in his arsenal, notably versatile WR Puka Nacua. The Bears will counter with QB Blake Shapen, who was nearly flawless in a tune-up against Albany but will now face a more athletic and experienced Cougars’ back seven featuring LBs Max Tooley and Payton Wilgar.
Why it could disappoint: An effective pass rush figures to be the path to building an insurmountable lead. Baylor might be the better candidate to pull that off, with DE Gabe Hall and LB Matt Jones leading a deep rotation up front.
Tennessee at No. 14 Pittsburgh
Time/TV: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC
Why watch: The reigning ACC champion Panthers look to snag a second Power Five non-league victory of the young season in this rematch with the upstart Volunteers, who are hoping to make noise in an increasingly crowded SEC East. Pittsburgh prevailed by a touchdown last year in Knoxville, but Tennessee brings a more experienced group into the return visit to Pitt Stadium. New Panthers QB Kedon Slovis endeared himself to Pitt fans forever by engineering the Thursday night ‘Backyard Brawl’ victory against West Virginia in his first home start, spreading the ball efficiently among seven receivers. Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker was able to do as he pleased last week against Ball State, and his prior experience should have him well prepared for this season’s first road trip.
Why it could disappoint: It isn’t likely to, but the Panthers might find it hard to get ramped up for a second consecutive week, even with a couple of extra days between games.
No. 12 Southern California at Stanford
Time/TV: Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC
Why watch: The Lincoln Riley era at USC got off to a solid start against outmatched Rice, but things get more serious for the Trojans this week as they jump into Pac-12 play on the road. The Cardinal are a few years removed from competing for the conference crown but can still make life difficult for the contenders – just ask last year’s Oregon squad. Trojans QB Caleb Williams threw two TD passes and just three incompletions against the Owls. He also flashed the running ability he displayed at Oklahoma, but he’ll want to steer clear of Stanford LB Levani Damuni if he decides to take off here. Cardinal QB Tanner McKee and RB E.J. Smith could find real estate against the USC defense that scored three times on interceptions but surrendered 280 yards a week ago - with most of those coming in the first half when the game was close.
Why it could disappoint: If the Cardinal defense doesn’t get its share of stops, Stanford will have trouble matching scores in a track meet. It’s also possible but less likely that USC, while more than capable of mounting a comeback, could experience a cascade of miscues in its first test under new management in hostile environs.

How you can watch The Queen’s state funeral inside Westminster Abbey
Following her death yesterday, Her Majesty’s plans for her funeral in around 11 days’ time are being set in motion.
Her son, the new King Charles III, is likely to meet the Earl Marshal – the Duke of Norfolk – who is in charge of the accession and the Queen’s funeral, to approve the carefully choreographed schedule for the coming days.
The arrangements – part of Operation London Bridge – were first laid out in the 1960s and have been regularly updated since then.
The Government will also announce that the funeral day will be a public holiday in the form of a Day of National Mourning.
The period of Her Majesty’s coffin lying in state in Westminster Hall – where her father’s body lay for three days after his death in 1952 – is expected to begin on September 14.
The Queen’s state funeral is expected take place at Westminster Abbey in central London on September 19.
The original plans are for the Queen’s coffin to process on a gun carriage to the Abbey, pulled by naval ratings – sailors – using ropes rather than horses.
Senior members of the family are expected to poignantly follow behind – just like they did for the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh.
The military will line the streets and also join the procession. Heads of state, prime ministers and presidents, European royals and key figures from public life will be invited to gather in the Abbey, which can hold a congregation of 2,000.
The service will be televised, and a national two minutes’ silence is expected to be held. The same day as the funeral, the Queen’s coffin will be taken to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle for a televised committal service.
Later in the evening, there will be a private interment service with senior members of the royal family.
The Queen’s final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel – where her mother and father were buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret.
Her husband Prince Philip’s coffin will move from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen’s.
Below, MailOnline answers all your key questions about the funeral, and how you can pay your respects to Her Majesty.
When will the Queen’s coffin arrive in London?
Her Majesty is expected to remain at Balmoral until Sunday, when her coffin will be taken by road to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Proclamations will be read in the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland devolved parliaments in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
On Monday, September 12, an emotional procession is expected along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh’s old town to St Giles’ Cathedral. It will remain there for at least 24 hours.
On Tuesday, Her Majesty’s coffin is expected to be flown to London, where it will first be taken to Buckingham Palace. Above: The scene at King’s Cross Station in London in 1952 when the new Queen watched her father’s coffin being carried from the Royal Train

Members of the Royal Family will hold a vigil around the coffin in the cathedral.
The public may also get the chance to file past the Queen’s coffin at a mini lying in state in St Giles’.
On Tuesday, Her Majesty’s coffin is expected to be flown to London, where it will first be taken to Buckingham Palace.
A rehearsal for the procession of the coffin from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster then takes place.
How can I go to pay my respects?
A four-day period of the Queen lying-in-state in Westminster Hall will begin on Wednesday, following a ceremonial procession through London.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct a service, before hundreds of thousands of people file past the coffin – resting on its catafalque – to pay their respects.
The scenes will echo those that took place when the Queen’s father King George VI died in February 1952. More than 300,000 people queued to file past the coffin.
The management of queues outside is known as Operation Feather. Senior royals are also expected to pay their own moving tributes and will stand guard around the coffin in a ceremony known as the Vigil of the Princes.

What happens on the day of the Queen’s funeral?
Her Majesty’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey is expected to take place on Monday, September 19.
The last watch of the vigil in Westminster Hall will start at 6am, with the lying in state coming to an end at 8.30am.
At around 10.30am, the Queen’s coffin is expected to process from Westminster Hall to the nearby Abbey on a gun carriage pulled by Royal Navy sailors – using ropes rather than horses.
Senior members of the Royal Family will poignantly follow behind, just as they did for the funerals of Princess Diana and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Heads of state, prime ministers and presidents, as well as European royals and other key figures from public life will gather in the Abbey, which can hold a congregation of 2,000.

What can I see on TV?
The service at Westminster Abbey will be televised on the BBC in the UK and on other channels around the world.
A national two minutes’ silence is also expected to be held during the service. Her Majesty’s coffin will then be loaded onto the green gun carriage that was used for the Queen’s father, his father and his father’s father, and 138 junior sailors will drop their heads to their chests and pull.
This is a tradition that began at Victoria’s funeral in 1901 when the horses threatened to bolt at Windsor Station and a waiting contingent of ratings stepped in to pull the coffin instead.
The procession will then swing on to The Mall and go past Victoria Monument, Constitution Hall and Wellington Arch. From Hyde Park Corner, the hearse will go 23 miles by road to Windsor Castle.
Once in Windsor, Her Majesty’s coffin will be taken to St George’s Chapel. Above: The funeral procession of her father, King George VI, as it moved through the grounds of Windsor Castle
Once there, Her Majesty’s coffin will be taken to St George’s Chapel, where a televised committal service will take place.
Later in the evening, a private internment service will take place with senior members of the Royal Family.
Her Majesty’s final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, which is an annex to St George’s.
Her mother and father are buried there, as are the ashes of her sister Princess Margaret. Prince Philip’s coffin will also be moved from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen.
The Cabinet Office said today that further details of the Queen’s funeral would be confirmed ‘in due course’.
The department also warned of crowding and delays on some public transport as people seek to pay their respects.

It said: ‘We recognise that many people will travel to Buckingham Palace and other royal residences as a mark of their respect.
‘We expect large crowds, which can pose risks to public safety. Those who do travel are asked to follow any instructions given to them by stewards and the police. We expect significant crowding and delays on some public transport. The public should check ahead and plan accordingly.
‘As you would expect, a number of organisations will now be making practical preparations including contingency planning for the state funeral and related events.
‘Access to some areas, especially in central London, will be restricted, with road closures and diversions that will cause delays to vehicles and pedestrians.
‘Those who wish to lay floral tributes near royal residences in London, Windsor, Edinburgh, Balmoral and Sandringham are asked to do so only in designated areas, as directed by stewards. Further details will be made available shortly.’

My son is upset that the Queen has died. “I miss her” he says during the rolling news coverage in our home in London, before approaching the TV and kissing the person on screen. It’s a tender, empathetic display from a four-year-old, rendered only slightly less meaningful by the fact he’s kissing the BBC’s Huw Edwards, since my English-born son has mistaken him for the monarch whose death, and existence, he only really learned of that day.
When considering the death of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, I find myself similarly confused. Granted, I do at least know she is not Huw Edwards, but beyond that I don’t really know how to feel. As an Irish person, and as a Derryman, my relationship with the Royal family has always been uncomplicated: I find the institution ridiculous, even profane, but have very little investment in them as flesh-and-blood people.
I grew up surrounded by people who did, of course. People who hated the Queen, personally, with the fire of a thousand suns. My own dislike of the monarchy was systemic, girded by the simple, self-evident truth that wealth and power should not pass down through blood and fiat; that hereditary inequality should be denuded from society, rather than glorified and perpetuated by tradition; and that people should be judged on account of their words and deeds rather than venerated by birthright.
None of this really required me to feel one way or the other about individual royals. Harbouring a personal enmity toward the Queen always made about as much sense to me as laying the blame for childhood obesity on Mr Tayto.
I won’t speak of the Queen in the personal sense because I did not know her, but I’ve heard from people who have met her that she was exceptionally courteous, personable, and had a winning sense of humour. She never gave an interview in seventy years, so I’m happy to take Martin McGuinness’ word for it.
Seventy years is a long time. Much like Amazon deforestation is measured in areas the size of Wales, her reign has typically been measured in US Presidents. She survived 14, which is as an impressive metric of her longevity, if admittedly also as a quiet reminder that heads of state in other countries face elections.
As the monarchy’s power and legitimacy has waned, this longevity has become subsumed with a deep, emotional resonance, for those who take comfort in the constancy her rule has provided. She represents an unbroken line from the mid-20th century to now, as a sort of implacable beacon of stability entirely disconnected from her actual words and deeds.
On a more basic, human level, she was beloved as a grandmother figure, and her death is sad in all the same ways it’s sad when any elderly relative dies, not least one whose official duties so often showed her smiling, kindly and indefatigable, and coming so soon after so many grannies, nanas and nans were lost to Covid.
For all these reasons, the queen was, and is, several orders of magnitude more popular than the monarchy itself, and it remains to be seen how the King fares once the fanfare dies down. There will, apparently, be ten days of mourning to follow, and I will, no doubt, spend them getting a better sense of what this means to those who loved, and loathed, her more than I ever did.
It is a strange day to wake up in England, and it’s much too early to say much about what comes next, except that I guess anyone, anywhere has the right to be as sad about it as they like.
Not so my son, however, who smiles upon seeing Huw Edwards back on TV. “The Queen!” he says, delighted. And, stunned by resurrection, he runs toward the screen.

Republican lawmakers have warned Apple that it will face intense scrutiny from Congress if the California company procures memory chips from a controversial Chinese semiconductor manufacturer for the new iPhone 14.
Marco Rubio, Republican vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, and Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House foreign affairs committee, said they were alarmed following a media report that Apple would add Yangtze Memory Technologies Co to its list of suppliers for NAND flash memory chips that are used to store data on smartphones.
“Apple is playing with fire,” Mr Rubio said. “It knows the security risks posed by YMTC. If it moves forward, it will be subject to scrutiny like it has never seen from the federal government. We cannot allow Chinese companies beholden to the Communist Party into our telecommunications networks and millions of Americans’ iPhones.”
Asked about the congressional concerns, Apple said did not use YMTC chips in any products but said it was “evaluating sourcing from YMTC for NAND chips to be used in some iPhones sold in China”.
Apple said it was not considering using YMTC chips in phones for sale outside China. It added that all user data stored on NAND chips used by the company were “fully encrypted”.
It was reported in April that the White House and commerce department were investigating claims that YMTC was violating US export control rules by supplying chips to Huawei, the Chinese telecoms equipment group.
“YMTC has extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party and military. There is credible evidence that YMTC is breaking export control laws by selling goods to Huawei,” Mr McCaul said. . “Apple will effectively be transferring knowledge and knowhow to YMTC that will supercharge its capabilities and help the CCP achieve its national goals.”
Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate majority leader, has also privately raised concerns with commerce secretary Gina Raimondo about YMTC, according to a person familiar with the situation.
YMTC did not respond to a request for comment about its relationship with Apple.
How are businesses coping with rising costs across the board?
In July, a bipartisan group of senators — including Mr Schumer and Mark Warner, the Democratic chair of the Senate intelligence committee — urged the Biden administration to put YMTC on a commerce department blacklist that would effectively bar US companies from providing technology to the Chinese group.
The senators, who included James Risch, the top Republican on the foreign relations committee, said YMTC should be put on the “entity list” as it was violating export control rules by selling memory chips to Huawei.
The lawmakers also accused Beijing of subsidising YMTC in ways that would help put the “national champion” on track to dominate the sector by selling chips below cost, as China has done in other areas such as the solar industry.
“YMTC is an immediate threat,” they wrote to Raimondo.
One person familiar with the commerce department’s stance said it was aware of the concerns and was preparing a response to the senators.
A spokesperson said the department’s Bureau of Industry and Security was conducting a review of China-related policies that would “potentially seek to employ a variety of legal, regulatory, and, when relevant, enforcement tools to keep advanced technologies out of the wrong hands”.
Mr McCaul, who is set to become head of the House foreign affairs committee if the Republicans win control of the lower chamber of Congress in November’s midterm elections, said the Chinese subsidies to YMTC posed a threat.
“Massive CCP subsidies to YMTC mean the company will undercut the market. This could very likely devastate the memory chip market and give China even more control of this critical national security technology,” he said. “How can the world’s data be secure if it’s stored on a chip made by a CCP national champion?”
Several people familiar with the situation said lawmakers had asked Apple in recent months about YMTC-related speculation but got no response. Apple did not comment on the congressional inquiries.
The criticism of Apple comes as the Biden administration steps up efforts to make it harder for China to secure cutting-edge technology. US officials recently told Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices — two US chipmakers — that they would have to obtain special licences to sell advanced processors used for artificial intelligence applications to Chinese companies.
Congress passed legislation in July that would provide US semiconductor manufacturers with a pool of $52 billion (€51 billion) to support development of the domestic chip industry and reduce reliance on foreign companies.
Underscoring the importance of YMTC for China, President Xi Jinping visited the company in 2018 after Washington slapped tough restrictions on Huawei and ZTE, another Chinese telecoms equipment maker.
“It’s pretty shocking that Apple is partnering with a Chinese technology company ... which is in exactly the same industry as the other banned companies and has the direct support of the top CCP leadership,” said Zach Edwards, an independent tech expert. — Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2022

Washington(CNN) A former soldier who prosecutors say claimed he enlisted to become better at killing Black people was kicked out of the Army following an FBI investigation that uncovered ties to White supremacist organizations and Nazi ideology.
Killian M. Ryan was arrested August 26 and charged with one count of knowingly making a false statement on his application for a secret security clearance, according to court records. On the same day, he was discharged from the Army for “serious misconduct,” said Lt. Col. Terence Kelley, an Army spokesman.
Prosecutors say Ryan operated social media accounts where he was in contact with extremists, including where he made the shocking claim about why he decided to join the military.
Ryan had been serving as a Fire Support Specialist and held the rank of Specialist when he was discharged, Kelley said. A Fire Support Specialist gathers intelligence and enemy target positions to help the Army in deploying and firing artillery. The job requires a secret security clearance. Ryan had served with the 2nd Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery and the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment. He had not deployed.
The former paratrooper was discharged for multiple driving under the influence of alcohol violations, according to a defense official, but prosecutors say they found far more serious issues during their investigation.
On his application for a secret security clearance in May 2020, Ryan allegedly said that it had been more than 10 years since he’d been in contact with his father, who has felony convictions for drug violations and auto theft.
But investigators found a number of social media accounts, all allegedly registered to Ryan, which were used to contact his father during the 10-year period. They also found recent photos of Ryan with his father, court records say.
When investigators further probed the accounts, they noted that one of Ryan’s accounts had “been in contact with numerous accounts associated with racially motivated extremism,” court records said. The account username referenced Sigurd — a figure in Norse mythology that is sometimes co-opted by White supremacists — and an email registered to the account referenced Nazi ideology.
On another account, Ryan allegedly posted: “I serve for combat experience so I’m more proficient in killing n*****s.” Investigators found that Ryan registered some of these social media accounts with an email that included “naziace1488.”
CNN has reached out to Ryan’s attorney for comment.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made rooting out extremism in the military one of his top priorities. Though the Pentagon insisted that extremism in the military was only a tiny fraction of service members, officials acknowledged that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot was a “wake-up call” for the Defense Department.
At least 95 people charged in connection with the January 6 insurrection served in the US military, according to a CNN review of Pentagon and Justice Department records.
Shortly after taking office, Austin ordered a staggered pause in operations throughout the force, known in the military as a stand down, in order to reinforce leaders’ expectations of behavior for service members and review the Defense Department policy on extremism.
Late last year, the Pentagon then issued a sharper, clearer definition of extremist behavior that, for the first time, included guidance on social media platforms and posts.

Singapore’s Whampoa Group, a multi-family office with investments in global tech firms, aims to deploy about $100 million through a venture capital fund in start-ups in the burgeoning digital assets segment, its senior executives said.
Whampoa Digital, the group’s digital assets investment arm, will invest in and incubate early-stage startups in Web3 – a utopian vision of the internet where users, rather than shareholders, own websites and other online services.
“We think there is great conviction in this space. The venture capital fund will help us to expand our footprint in this area,” Shawn Chan, CEO of Whampoa Group, told Reuters in a recent interview.
He said the fund, which is likely to be launched next quarter, had received strong interest from Chinese tech firms and Asian business groups.
The fund plans to initially deploy $100 million and then scale up. It will invest in equity and tokens of products or services that enable and facilitate the mass adoption of Web3.
Cryptocurrencies are the most widely known digital assets that also include stablecoins, non-fungible tokens, and others.
Whampoa Group has built an investment portfolio of about 200 companies over the past decade, including Chinese tech firm ByteDance and a fund set up by cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
Globally, venture capital investors are stepping up funding of crypto projects – blockchain-based apps and platforms fuelled by Web3.
Aureole Foong, senior partner at Whampoa Group said that though cryptocurrencies have had a torrid year, Web 3 start-ups such as those involved in decentralised finance applications offered huge long-term growth potential.
He said Web3 projects were starting to find uses such as in the remittance of money and the entertainment industry.
Whampoa Group is co-founded by Amy Lee, a former senior partner at Lee & Lee, a Singapore law firm started by her father Lee Kim Yew, and Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew and his wife.
The investment group’s other co-founder is Lee Han Shih, a member of the business family that co-founded Southeast Asian bank OCBC and Lee Rubber Group, among other companies.
Chan said Southeast Asia’s demographics and high internet penetration made it a fertile region for mass adoption of Web3 products and services.
