MILWAUKEE (AP) — TJ Friedl homered to lead off a five-run first inning, left-hander Nick Lodolo pitched eight strong innings and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-2 on Friday night.
In a matchup of rookie starters, Lodolo (4-5) easily outperformed Brewers right-hander Jason Alexander (2-3). Lodolo had career bests with 11 strikeouts and eight innings, while Cincinnati’s first six batters reached base off Alexander.
Friedl hit an 0-2 pitch for his first career leadoff home run. Jonathan India hit the next pitch for a stand-up triple and scored on Kyle Farmer’s single. Jake Farley was hit by a pitch, then boos followed an RBI single Donovan Solano that put the Reds up 3-0.
After Aristides Aquino walked to load the bases, Milwaukee — fighting for a wild-card spot — recorded its first outs by turning a double play, but a run scored to put the Reds up 4-0. Alexander appeared to yell into his glove after an RBI single by Jose Barrero made it 5-0.
In contrast, Lodolo needed only nine pitches to retire the first three batters in the first inning, striking out two of them.
Tyrone Taylor hit his 16th home run of the season, a two-run shot off Lodolo in the third inning, to cut the Reds’ lead to 5-2.
After hitting Taylor with a pitch in the fifth, Lodolo retired nine straight.
The Reds extended their lead to 8-2 in the ninth inning with a two-run home run by India and a solo homer by Fraley off Brent Suter.
The Reds pounded out 17 hits against four Brewers pitchers. Aquino had three doubles. Farmer also had three hits. Friedl, India, Fraley, Solano and Barrero each had two hits.
The Reds have their first three-game winning streak since winning five in a row from July 30 to Aug. 2.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Brewers: RHP Freddy Peralta (right shoulder inflammation) was placed on the 15-day IL. The 2021 All-Star left during the third inning of his start Thursday due to fatigue in the shoulder. … Recalled RHP Justin Topa from Triple-A Nashville. He came on in relief of Alexander in the sixth. … OF Jonathan Davis (elbow) began a rehab assignment at Class-A Wisconsin.
Reds: Reinstated IF Matt Reynolds (left hip). … Designated OF Alberta Almora Jr. for assignment. … Claimed RHP Luke Farrell off waivers from the Cubs.
UP NEXT
Reds RHP Chase Anderson (0-2, 12.6 ERA) faces Brewers RHP Adrian Houser (5-9, 4.83 ERA) on Saturday in the second of the three-game series. Anderson makes his third start since the Reds signed him as a free agent to a minor league contract on Aug. 27. Houser gave up one earned run in five innings in his previous start, Monday at Colorado.

SEEKONK — Second-year head coach Jason Azulay is looking forward to further developing the Seekonk High football program, and believes having his staff with one campaign under its belt will go a long way in the 2022 season.
The Warriors benefit from graduating just three seniors off their 2021 team, which reached the MIAA Division 6 Tournament as the No. 16 seed.
“Our senior leadership,” Azulay responded when asked about Seekonk’s biggest strengths. “We relied on them heavily as juniors. We have a really strong senior class.”
The Warriors have 10 seniors on their roster this fall, including senior captains Jaden Arruda, who will start his second season at quarterback, Josh Troiano, Aidan Peterson and Chris Amaral.
Arruda was recognized as Seekonk’s Offensive MVP following a junior season in which he threw for nearly 1,000 yards. He’ll benefit from playing behind an offensive line of left tackle Aidan Nascimento (5-11, 235), left guard Troiano (6-3, 305), senior center Will Prue (6-0, 240), junior right guard Sebastian Garcia (5-11, 210) and a right tackle spot likely to feature both senior Ryan Dougherty and sophomore Lucas Figueredo. Azulay specifically noted the Warriors’ offensive line would be a strength of the team.
Peterson, a two-way contributor at wide receiver and safety, will be joined in the receiving corps by senior Kevin Crowe, senior Evan Fields, junior Manny Soares and running back-receiver hybrid Amaral. Joey Nolan will play tight end while also filling Seekonk’s H-back role.
The Warriors have a “two-headed monster” at running back, as explained by Azulay, with senior Harry Murphy and junior CJ Cabral.
On the defensive side of the ball, Seekonk will look to showcase its strength in the defensive backfield with Peterson, Crowe and Soares, to name a few. Arruda also will serve as Seekonk’s starting linebacker alongside the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Nolan. The defensive front will feature a handful of two-way contributors with Troiano, an All-South Coast Conference selection as a junior, as well as Blayke Young, Prue and Garcia.
“Last year was definitely a growing year,” Azulay said. “We’re trying to compete for a conference title and make a deeper run in the playoffs than our first year.”
The Warriors, who were moved to Division 6 starting in 2021, will open their season Friday at Carver at 6 p.m.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have cancelled their planned public appearances as the Royal Family enter the official mourning of Queen Elizabeth’s passing.
Prince Harry was scheduled to visit the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 20, as well as The Duchess of Sussex’s planned appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on the same day, which was also axed.
Markle also has plans to delay the release the next episode of her podcast Archetypes, sources told Page Six.
The couple’s plans have been put on hold in the lead up to and following the Queen’s state funeral, expected to be scheduled for September 19 at Westminster Abbey in London.
Although the official date nor details have been announced for the coming days of mourning, it is unknown whether Markle has rescheduled her TV show appearance or completely canned it.
“I don’t even know what she was going to talk about [with Fallon], but that’s obviously cancelled now,” the source told Page Six.
There was speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were planning on travelling to her majesty together, before it was officially announced by a spokesperson for the couple that ‘only the Duke’ was travelling.
Despite the rumours, King Charles opened up about his feelings for Prince Harry and Meghan during his first public address as the country’s new monarch, at Buckingham Palace.
“I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you, and I share that sense of loss beyond measure with you all,” he said.
“As the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I, too, now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation,
“I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”

INVESTIGATION REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Encourages Investors in UiPath Inc. with Losses of $100,000 to Contact the Firm
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 8, 2022 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of UiPath Inc. ("UiPath" or "the Company") PATH for violations of the securities laws.
The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — When Joseph Kibbe attended the first Boise Pride Festival in 1989, he and about two dozen other participants wore paper bags over their heads to hide their faces from potentially violent onlookers.
At the first festival parade two years later, Kibbe and his friends were greeted by protesters with nooses in front of the Statehouse.
“Boise was a very different place back then — it was not a safe time to be LGBTQIA,” he said.
Still, for Kibbe — then a gay junior high student who faced frequent beatings at school, now the vice principal of the Boise Pride Festival board — the event was the one place where he felt like part of a community.
“I could come and be who I wanted to be here, who I actually was,” Kibbe said on Friday, just a few hours before this year's festival was set to begin. “That was a huge morale booster, and why I'm so passionate about what we're doing today.”
But this year, a roughly half-hour program on the three-day-long festival schedule called “Drag Kids” has prompted a wave of political pressure and anonymous threats.
Festival organizers envisioned a short performance where kids could put on sparkly dresses and lip-sync to songs like Kelly Clarkson’s “People Like Us” on stage. But others, including Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon, expected a lurid scene where children would “engage in sexual performances with adult entertainers.”
The event garnered national attention from far-right websites and podcasts, and by Tuesday organizers realized this wasn't the “normal” amount of opposition, said festival president Michael Dale.
“The sexualization of children is wrong, full stop,” the Idaho GOP wrote on Twitter. “Idaho rejects the imposition of adult sexuality & adult sexual appetites on children.”
Moon and the Idaho GOP sent out statements directing constituents to ask the festival's corporate sponsors to pull support. A few did, at least partly — removing their logos from festival fencing and canceling plans for booths. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare announced it was pulling $38,000 in funding along with resources focused on tobacco-cessation and HIV/AIDS prevention.
A conservative pastor from California began rallying like-minded congregations, asking members to tell the Ada County Sheriff to arrest any festival organizer who “contributes to the delinquency of minors.” A group known for armed protests told followers to show up Sunday.
Others, though, rallied to support Boise Pride. Four Democratic state lawmakers pledged their own financial support, and released a joint statement criticizing what they called “the false, dangerous claims from Idaho GOP Chair Dorothy Moon that stoke violence.” New business sponsors stepped up to fill vacancies.
But the political maelstrom was growing more intense by the hour, and five kids were stuck in the middle. Riley Burrows, a full-time drag entertainer from Boise who was co-producing the Drag Kids event, began getting death threats on social media.
“It's: 'We’re going to show up at this festival,' 'We're coming after you,' ‘I hope you know you have a target on your back,' and ‘You’re going to be found in a tree,'" Burrows said. “It's gotten so repetitive.”
On Thursday afternoon, festival organizers made the decision to postpone the kids’ performance.
“We wanted to ask these kids first and foremost, because it affects them, and their confidence and their lives. And they still wanted to do it,” Dale said, fighting back tears. “But it came to be an issue of their health, their wellbeing, and that of the festival-goers.”
Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric has been increasing in Idaho and around the U.S. in recent months, and earlier this year 31 members of a white supremacist group were arrested outside of a northern Idaho Pride event for allegedly planning to riot. The Boise Pride organizers have been working with Boise Police to boost security since the northern Idaho arrests in June.
None of the five young performers are new to drag shows. The youngest is 10, and was inspired by watching her mom get ready to perform.
“She really wanted to copy me and just do the makeup and have fun with it,” said Harley Innocent, who goes by her stage name. Innocent is one of many cisgender women who participate in drag, sometimes referred to as “AFAB" or “Assigned Female At Birth Queens."
Her daughter's first performance was in 2019, in the rural Idaho town of Emmett. She loved it, Innocent said.
“She was really looking forward to being able to do it on the Pride main stage — it was a big opportunity for her to share her talent."
Innocent says her daughter does a “porcelain doll” makeup look, wears a wig and chooses a song that fits her mood.
It's similar to a glitzy beauty pageant, Innocent said, but more laid back. “In drag you don't have to be perfect. We're just trying to have fun and welcome them to this art form.”
Burrows, the Drag Kids co-producer, said the kids are just having fun on stage in pretty outfits.
“It's like if you were to send your kid to a school of dance, and the performance theme was rainbows — big tutus, bows and fun hair.”
That's different from an adult drag show, which can have heavier themes, more revealing costumes and be geared toward more mature audiences, Burrows said: “It's like the difference between a kid's TV show and an adult TV show.”
Youth performances can give kids a sense of belonging, he said, adding that “it's not scary to be gay when you're surrounded by love and acceptance."
There's a lot more support available for LGBTQ kids today, said Kibbe, but it was still heartbreaking to tell them the event was being postponed until organizers could find a safer, more supportive venue.
“The actions of whatever small minority group don’t reflect how the majority of people feel, but we haven’t figured out how to counterbalance that yet,” Kibbe said. “The kids that were going to be performing in that show, they were literally just trying to let others know, ‘Hey, you’re OK, this is what a supportive parent looks like, this is what a friend looks like.’”

As millions of Brits see a real-time squeeze on household budgets, making money go further and being money savvy is at the forefront of people’s minds. TV nutritionist Lily Soutter and supermarket Aldi have collaborated to create a guide for families to eat well for less, thanks to some simple frozen food swaps.
Each family meal costs as little as £1.98 or under 50p per head when customers buy products from Aldi stores. The Aldi frozen food initiative, which covers breakfast, lunch and dinner for a family of four for five full days, has been devised to help shoppers tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
The launch of the Aldi frozen meal plan follows reports that around nine in 10 households have felt the impact of rising costs. It is reported that over a third (35%) of Brits are now cutting back on spending on food shopping and essentials, according to official data from the Office for National Statistics.
Not only will the plan help families spend less than £29.77 per week, but Harley Street nutritionist Lily Soutter has ensured that each recipe is packed with nourishing yet affordable foods that form a well-balanced diet.
Meal plan pioneers can dish up plenty of delicious dishes. These include hearty King prawn fish pie, spicy pasta with meat-free meatballs and a veggie pizza.
Lily Soutter said: “This wonderfully nutritious and versatile plan we’ve created will not only help money go further, but will also make meal-times simpler and most importantly, affordable."
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “Access to good quality food should be a right, not a privilege. The meal plans are designed to provide quick and easy inspiration for families who may be finding meal-times strenuous on the bank account during the ongoing crisis.”
Top tips from Lily on how to make the most out of the frozen food meal plan include using frozen fish, freezing bread and herbs to prolong shelf life and blitzing frozen fruit in smoothies or desserts.

Nova Scotia's mass shooting inquiry receives warning about ignored recommendations
The inquiry into the mass shooting in Nova Scotia heard Thursday from experts who warned that the federal and Nova Scotia governments have a poor track record when it comes to implementing recommendations from previous inquiries.
As a prime example, two experts pointed to the landmark inquiry into the 1971 wrongful murder conviction of Donald Marshall Jr., which in 1990 called for sweeping changes to the province's criminal justice system.
Anthropology professor L. Jane McMillan said that despite that inquiry's high profile, some of its key recommendations led nowhere.
"There was a good deal of energy put into making sure the low-hanging fruit got picked and eaten," said McMillan, special adviser on Indigenous research at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S.
"But the longer, most systemic changes that the Mi'kmaq would prefer to see were very sporadic, uneven and largely unfulfilled."
Heidi Marshall, co-founder of the Jane Paul Indigenous Resource Centre in Sydney, N.S., told the inquiry that the provincial royal commission led to the establishment of a Mi'kmaq police service in Cape Breton, but it failed five years later because of a lack of funding and jurisdictional squabbles.
"The policing service at the airport had more funding than the tribal police," said Heidi Marshall, a member of Membertou First Nation who has long pushed for implementation of the royal commission's recommendations.
"That was an indication of how much funding, resources and care that the government of Canada and the province were willing to invest in our community."
McMillan, author of the book "Donald Marshall Jr. and the Mi'kmaw Quest for Justice," said substantial efforts were initially made to hire Indigenous police officers. "But over time, the recruitment focus was diluted and people were not being successfully recruited into the ranks .... The (hiring) criteria had cultural biases that remain problematic."
The Unama'ki Tribal Police Service was wound down in 2001. At the time, Indigenous leaders said federal and provincial funding was inadequate for a police force that served five communities. McMillan said the service was also undermined by unclear jurisdictional boundaries.
"Many of the recommendations from the Marshall inquiry were taken up with great fanfare early on ... (but) they ran into this sort of static moment, and people thought, 'One and done,"' she said.
McMillan said those leading the inquiry into the 2020 shootings, known as the Mass Casualty Commission, must make sure their recommendations are accompanied by deadlines for implementation and some sort of accountability mechanism to ensure changes are made.
"That accountability piece is not something that was written into the Marshall inquiry recommendations," McMillan said.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Marshall report wasn't started until after a First Nations man was shot to death by police in 2008 and a Mi'kmaq woman died after having a stroke in a police jail cell in 2009, McMillan said.
Until those tragic events came to light, federal and provincial officials had lost sight of the Marshall report's goals, she said.
"They thought they were doing everything they needed to do," McMillan said. "We're still seeing this today."
Hayley Crichton, head of the public safety and security division within Nova Scotia's Justice Department, said her office was created as a result of recommendations from the Marshall report. Among other things, the division oversees the province's police audit program.
"What came out of that inquiry is the importance of holding police accountable to the recommendations made," Crichton told the inquiry. "Setting standards is one thing, but ensuring accountability ... is just as crucial."
Bill Moore, a former deputy police chief in Halifax, also said the mass shooting inquiry should have accountability tools built into its recommendations.
"It should not be a hope and a wish," said Moore, head of the city's public safety project and former head of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. "Having (recommendations) out there, only to have them brought up years later ... and doing it over again, that doesn't work."
The federal-provincial inquiry is expected to wrap up its public hearings later this month, and its final report is due by March 31.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 8, 2022.

The PT candidate for the presidency, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, defended today (9) the importance of separating the structures of the State and religion. For him, this is a way of strengthening religious freedom, allowing people to freely choose their faith. “The state must have no religion. The state must not have a church. The State must guarantee the functioning and freedom of as many churches as people want to create,” he said, speaking at a meeting with evangelicals in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro.
Lula also highlighted the importance of maintaining credibility when occupying government positions. The candidate must, according to him, pass the information clearly to the population. “If the situation is difficult, say it is difficult. If it’s good, say it’s good,” he added.
Social policies were highlighted throughout the candidate’s speech. Lula highlighted the need to reduce informality in the country, creating formal jobs. “Poor people who work need protection, they need to be assured that, if misfortune happens to them, they will not be left unprotected, as is the case today,” he said.
For the health area, the candidate promised to expand access to medical specialties through agreements with the private network of clinics and hospitals. “We are going to make an agreement with the network of specialists in that country so that, when the doctor prescribes another specialist doctor, if there is one on the street from the lady’s house, the lady will go to that doctor to be treated with respect and also use the machines”, he said. , by emphasizing the importance of being able to perform exams with state-of-the-art equipment.
In the field of education, Lula said that he intends to adopt full-time teaching. “We will improve the quality of elementary education and education will be comprehensive from now on. Because full-time education takes children off the street and will give families much more guarantees,” she said.
After the meeting, Lula granted an interview to journalists. He commented on the murder of a supporter, in Mato Grosso, killed by a co-worker as a result of political divergence. Accompanied by his deputy, Geraldo Alckmin, the PT said that a climate of hatred took over the country.
“This is a demonstration of the climate of hatred that is established in the electoral process. A totally abnormal thing. You are seeing here two people who were opponents in the elections [em referência a Alckmin], we contested elections, we were in different parties, we spoke badly about each other. And, when we have to think about the country, we are together building a proposal for the country. That’s politics,” he argued.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — When Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith introduced his first recruiting class in 2018, he made something of a prophetic statement about quarterback prospect Jack Colletto.
“He can do a lot of different things, moving, running, he throws it really well. Sharp kid,” Smith said at the time.
Turns out that Colletto really can do a lot of different things. He’s emerged as a rare two-way player for the Beavers, playing both at inside linebacker and at running back.
Sort of a Jack of all trades, you might say.
“I mean, shoot, how good’s football?” he said.
He was all over the field in Oregon State’s season-opening 34-17 victory over Boise State. He had three tackles and recovered a fumble on defense, and ran for a 41-yard touchdown on offense.
“When I’m out there I’m just like, `Gosh, I’m running over here, I’m running over there, like wow, this is actually really tiring,’” he laughed.
Colletto, who is from Camus, Washington, played one season at Arizona Western College before arriving in Corvallis.
Considered a dual-threat, he was the third-string quarterback behind Jake Luton and Conor Blount for the 2018 season. Colletto switched to linebacker the next season but redshirted.
He solidified his role as a two-way player last season. He was the team’s go-to goal line rusher and finished with 144 years and four touchdowns. On defense, he had eight tackles, one forced fumble and an interception. He also caught a pass for a score, and on occasion served as a short-yardage wildcat QB.
Last year against USC, Colletto became the FBS first player to rush for two touchdowns and have an interception in the same game since 2004.
Smith said this wasn’t the plan when Colletto was recruited, but he showed skills in a lot of areas.
“He wanted to make the move, we made the move a year or two ago and he’s run with it,” Smith said following the victory over the Broncos. “He showed up on special teams, he’s in there at linebacker, obviously doing some things offensively, and so he’s a huge piece of this team.”
The Beavers, who have steadily improved since Smith’s arrival, were 7-6 last season and went to a bowl game for the first time since 2013.
Oregon State is looking to build on that this year. With the season-opening win against Boise State in hand, the Beavers visit Fresno State (1-0) on Saturday. The Bulldogs won their opener 35-7 over Cal Poly.
Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford was asked this week about Colletto.
“Not only can he play linebacker, but he plays fullback for them and does a really nice job. He had like a 43-yard touchdown run. He plays on special teams. He’s a big, physical player,” Tedford said. “More than anything I think on that is the intelligence it takes to play on both sides of the ball, to understand what you’re doing in the schemes that they’re running, offensively and defensively. It’s pretty impressive for a guy to do that.”
Colletto, who already earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, is making the most of his moment. He has started to sell “Jack Hammer” merchandise, including T-shirts, hats and other apparel. A percentage of his sales will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
“I had no idea this would be the way it panned out,” Colletto said about his journey. “But I’m happy and fortunate that this is really my path, and what I’m meant to do.”

Delhi: Two dead in Mundka after inhaling toxic fumes inside sewer
The two persons who died were Rohit Chandiliya, a sweeper, and Ashok Kumar, a security guard.
Two persons died on Friday in Outer Delhi’s Mundka area after they inhaled toxic gases inside a sewer, PTI reported. Rohit Chandiliya (32) worked as a sweeper at Delhi Development Authority flats, while Ashok Kumar (30) was a security guard.
An unidentified police official told PTI that there had been complaints about a sewer blockage in the area. Chandiliya was the first one to go inside the sewer to clean the pit, but fell unconscious after inhaling the toxic gases inside, according to Aaj Tak.
Kumar then went inside in an attempt to rescue Chandiliya, but he also fell unconscious.
Two more persons then tried to rescue the two men, but aborted the efforts as they felt dizzy due to the gases. Subsequently, the police and fire brigade officials pulled Chandiliya and Kumar out.
The two men were taken to a hospital but were declared brought dead.
The police have filed a case under Section 304A of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with causing death by negligence.
Manual scavenging – or the practice of removing human excreta by hand from sewer lines or septic tanks – is banned under the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013. But the practice remains prevalent in many parts of India.
On August 4, the Centre told the Lok Sabha that no one in the country is engaged in manual scavenging. However, it said that 330 persons died in accidents while cleaning sewers and septic tanks between 2017 and 2021.
On July 26, however, Athawale had told the Lok Sabha that the government had identified58,098 manual scavengers in the country in the last three years. On July 19, the government had told the Lok Sabha that 347 sanitation workers have died across India since 2017 while cleaning sewers and septic tanks.

Aakash Chopra has criticized Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman's batting approach in Pakistan's Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 clash against Sri Lanka on Friday, September 9.
The Men in Green were bowled out for 121 after being asked to bat first in Dubai. The Islanders then chased down the below-par target with five wickets and three overs to spare.
While reviewing Friday's game in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra pointed out that Mohammad Rizwan is the only batter in Pakistan's top three who tries to play aggressively. He elaborated:
"When you lose the toss, you get to bat first, and then there are expectations of runs. To be very honest, the truth is bitter, none of the top three tries to hit except Mohammad Rizwan, who at least tries to find fours and sixes, to drive the game, and gets out while doing that as well."
Chopra added that Babar and Fakhar were both expecting the other person to push the accelerator pedal. The former India opener observed:
"Babar and Fakhar were playing as though they wanted the other person to hit. Neither of them was hitting. You were going run-a-ball in the first ten overs. You score 30 runs off 29 balls. It will not work out."
Chopra was particularly disappointed with the Pakistan skipper's approach. He explained:
"How will runs be scored? I know you have less might in your batting down the order but the captain has to be a little aggressive and show his class. I am a little disappointed. All of us have a lot of expectations from Babar but the intent was not seen."
Babar scored 30 runs off 29 balls, with the help of two fours. Fakhar played 18 deliveries for his 13 runs and struck just one boundary. The duo added 35 runs in almost six overs after Rizwan was dismissed while trying to play a big shot.
"There was no life seen in the batting" - Aakash Chopra on Pakistan's middle order
Chopra concluded by highlighting that Pakistan's middle order fell like ninepins, with Wanindu Hasaranga (3/21) being the wrecker-in-chief. The reputed commentator said:
"After that, there was no life seen in the batting, whether it was Iftikhar, Khushdil or Asif Ali. The wickets fell in a jiffy. Pakistan have problems against leg-spin for a long time. Wanindu Hasaranga came here and was hitting the stumps, you didn't know at all how to play him."
Khushdil Shah (4 runs off 8 balls) hit a Dhananjaya de Silva delivery straight down Pathum Nissanka's throat at long-on. Iftikhar Ahmed (13 of 17) and Asif Ali, who got a golden duck, were both castled by Hasaranga.
Q. Is Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman's conservative batting approach hurting Pakistan?
Yes
No

The 43-year-old said he hid his ticket in his shoe. “I wasn’t planning on telling anyone about my win, but I had to tell my daughter where I kept my ticket, just in case!” he laughed.
He plans on using his win towards a down payment on a house and will help his children with their education.
“I still feel disbelief, but so excited I want to scream at the top of my lungs!” he concluded.

Colleretto, Ivrea, Quincitava, Rivarolese and Vallorco at via Al Grande Torino the first fiery derby between grenade and orange
IVREA
The time of the friendlies has expired and on Sunday at 3 pm we are back to getting serious in the league. After the starter of the first leg of the first round of the Italian Cup last Sunday, our five Canavese sisters, Colleretto, Ivrea, Quincitava, Rivarolese and Vallorco are ready to start Promotion Group B.
The calendar immediately confronts Rivarolese-Ivrea, on the synthetic Grande Torino of Rivarolo: a challenge that promises to be spectacular, with the two technicians, Manuel Lami of Rivarolese and Giancarlo Tosoni of Ivrea expecting a difficult match for both: «We will have the cover a bit short especially in attack with the absences of Reano and Patrono, injured – comments Lami – They come from the victory in the Cup with Colleretto, we from the knockout of Cuorgnè with Vallorco, a difficult match awaits us. Personally, I hope to have a different result compared to the playoff match of the 2018/2019 season: as a coach of the Rivarolese I faced the Ivrea of the then coach De Paola at home in Rivarolo and they won 0-2 ».
Coach Tosoni is also charged: “We will try to recover the injured Comentale, Monteleone, Sardaro and Cervato until the end and against Rivarolese it will be a good test – explains Tosoni -: seven elevenths of the team are new, it will not be easy at all”. The only formation to play in front of the friendly public will instead be Quincitava, with the nerostellati who at Giovanni Cipriano will deal with the Turinese of Carrara 90.
Coach Marco Vernetti states: “Our opponents are a young team that will give intensity, one of the greatest dangers to keep an eye on will be the striker Gualtieri”. Colleretto and Vallorco are preparing for the first time ever to tread the Promotion and do so with the utmost respect for their opponents, who are respectively called Lucento and Lascaris, as explained by the coach of the pedanei Luca Conta: “Let’s baptize the new category immediately with a team relegated from Excellence – says Conta – a team that is credited by many for the final victory, we will have to have the utmost respect and try to play without fear, it won’t be easy ».
Luca Bruno Mattiet of Vallorco is also ready for his debut: «We are still a construction site, it will take some time, but on Sunday we will already have a very difficult commitment, because we will face the team that last year lost the playoff final against Alpignano and this one. year he wants to play another top championship ». –

Reedy scored just enough and held off a late Lone Star rally to win 13-7 in the District 6-5A Division I opener for both teams on Friday at Kuykendall Stadium.
Both squads came into the game averaging over 35 points per game, but in forcing 15 punts collectively, it was the two defenses that starred in Friday's contest.
This was the first time in the five-year rivalry that the Lions (3-0, 1-0) prevailed over the perennial powerhouse Rangers, and they did so in grand fashion, holding Lone Star — the state’s No. 2-ranked team in Class 5A Div. I — to just 11 rushing yards and 215 total yards of offense.
“That’s a very good football team,” said Jeff Rayburn, Lone Star head coach. “We knew that coming in, so congratulations to them, because they earned it.”
Reedy took a 3-0 lead late in the first quarter when Jackson Runyan capped a 60-yard drive with a 33-yard field goal. The Rangers (2-1, 0-1) fumbled on their next possession, and Runyan’s second field goal, this one from 45 yards out, put the Lions ahead 6-0 with just over eight minutes left in the opening half.
“They have been effective this year running between the tackles,” said Chad Cole, Reedy head coach. “We wanted to clog that area up and I think we did a good job of doing so.”
Lone Star got rolling on its next possession and took a 7-6 lead at the 4:01 mark of the second quarter when Bennett Fryman connected with Chris Viveros on an 8-yard touchdown pass.
The Lions immediately answered and regained the lead at 13-7 after Dennis Moody threw a 2-yard halfback pass to Joshua Goines on the last play of the first half. Reedy’s Kahlil Smith took a hand-off up the middle and raced 45 yards on fourth-and-short to set up the trick play.
It was a back-and-forth defensive battle the rest of the game, with neither team scoring in the second half.
The Rangers were able to mount a drive late in the fourth quarter and threatened to score, but on fourth-and-long Reedy put heavy pressure on quarterback Bennett Fryman to force an incomplete pass and a turnover on downs.
Fryman led the Rangers with 200 passing yards on 11 completions and a touchdown, while Smith led all rushers with 50 yards on the ground.
“This was a great win for our program,” Cole said. “Great way to start district play and a big stepping stone for us.”

Lauding the nation's exceptional nature of human resources, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday expressed happiness and said Indians are now widely recognized.
"The outstanding quality of our human genius and innovative attitude and unparalleled perseverance is now well known all over the world. The exceptional nature of human resources available amongst Indians is now widely recognised," said Vice President Dhankar.
Referring to the focal role played by Indians in the success of reputed MNCs such as Google, Microsoft, Twitter, IBM, MasterCard and Starbucks, he highlighted that the outstanding quality of our human genius and innovative attitude is now well known all over the world.
Addressing a gathering after felicitating the winners at an awards function in New Delhi today, the Vice President said that since ancient times, India has produced outstanding luminaries in the field of Mathematics, Science, Astronomy, Philosophy and linguistics.
He noted that the improvements in the governance framework and other catalytic initiatives in recent years have created an enabling environment to nurture and develop the inherent latent talent in various remote corners of our country.
Mentioning that many of the change makers honoured today come from ordinary backgrounds, he wanted such extraordinary human resources to be recognised and brought to the centre stage. "It should be our collective endeavour as an ambitious nation to quickly identify and meaningfully leverage the potential of these exceptional individuals," he added.
Earlier on August 28, while noting the dynamic leadership of UNGA President and Foreign Minister of Maldives Abdulla Shahid, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar praised his work in revitalizing the UN and added that his visit to India will further bolster the multi-faceted ties with the Maldives.
"His dynamic leadership of the 76th UNGA and his Presidency priorities, in particular on revitalizing the UN, have universal appeal. We are confident that his visit would further strengthen India's close and multi-faceted ties with the Maldives," said Dhankhar while welcoming Foreign Minister of Maldives Abdulla Shahid.
Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra, on Sunday, called on the United Nations General Assembly President Abdulla Shahid and discussed further deepening of India's relations with the Maldives.
Secretary Kwatra congratulated the UNGA President on his 'Presidency of Hope' and for his visionary leadership in the 76th session of the UNGA. Notably, in November, the UNGA president launched the President of the General Assembly's (PGA) Harnessing Opportunities for Promoting Empowerment of Youth Fellowship - the PGA's Fellowship for HOPE.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Frances Tiafoe in a gladiatorial US Open semi-final on Friday, setting up a showdown for the title and world number one ranking against Casper Ruud.
The 19-year-old Spaniard triumphed 6-7 (6/8), 6-3, 6-1, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3 to become the youngest men’s Grand Slam finalist since compatriot Rafael Nadal captured the first of his 22 Slams at the 2005 French Open.
Norway’s seventh-ranked Ruud earlier defeated Russia’s Karen Khachanov 7-6 (7/5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 to also reach his first Grand Slam final.
Tiafoe went down fighting, however, saving three match points and retrieving breaks in both of the last two sets.

“We are in the semi-final of a Grand Slam, we have to give everything we have inside, we have to fight until the last ball,” said Alcaraz, the youngest US Open finalist since Pete Sampras in 1990.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re fighting for five hours or six hours. It doesn’t matter, you have to give everything on court.”
For Alcaraz, who unleashed 59 winners, it was his third successive five-setter as he closes in on a maiden Slam and becoming the youngest ever world number one.
“It’s my first time in a final of a Grand Slam. I can see the number one in the world, but at the same time it’s so far away,” he added.
‘Give everything’
“I’m going to give everything that I have. I will have to handle the nerves of being in the final of a Grand Slam but obviously I’m really happy.”
Tiafoe hailed his conqueror.
“I gave everything I had, too good from Carlos tonight,” said Tiafoe.
“Honestly I came here wanting to win the US Open, I feel like I let you guys down. This one really hurts.”
Alcaraz saw two break points come and go in the seventh game of the opener before needing to save a set point in the 12th which featured a breathtaking rally that the Spaniard claimed from two seemingly losing positions.
The teenager saved three more set points in the tiebreak but Tiafoe converted his fifth when Alcaraz served up his third double fault of the 64-minute opener.
Alcaraz saved a break point in the third game of the second set, at one stage stretching for a winning point with his back facing Tiafoe to win another memorable rally.
His flamboyance was rewarded when he broke for 4-2 on his way to levelling the semi-final thanks to Tiafoe burying a return in the net.
Alcaraz had needed nine hours and 10 sets in his last two rounds, including a quarter-final which finished at 2:50 a.m. Thursday, to reach the semi-final.
Match points saved
However, he looked the fresher of the two men when he raced to a double break, 4-0 lead in the third set, allowing Tiafoe just three points.
For good measure, Alcaraz broke the American a third time in the seventh game.
World number 26 Tiafoe, who knocked Nadal out of the tournament in the last-16, was hoping to become the first American man in a major final since Andy Roddick at Wimbledon in 2009.
He gamely retrieved two breaks in the fourth set, saved a match point in the 10th game with a nerveless drop shot before claiming the tiebreak to send the clash into a decider.
It was an eighth successful tiebreak out of eight for the American.
Alcaraz broke for 2-0 in the fifth set only for Tiafoe to again claw his way back to 2-2.
The American, however, double-faulted to hand the advantage back in the fifth game.
Tiafoe saved two more match points in the ninth game before Alcaraz went on to seal victory in four hours and 19 minutes when his opponent netted a weary backhand.
Ruud will be appearing in his second Grand Slam final of the season after finishing runner-up to Nadal at the French Open in June.
“After Roland Garros, I was extremely happy but at the same time humble enough to think that could be my only final in a Grand Slam in my career,” said Ruud.
“They don’t come easy. So here I am a couple of months later – it feels beyond words to describe.”
The 23-year-old Norwegian set the tone for his dominance early in the semi-final when he came out on top in a 55-shot rally to convert a third set point in the opening tiebreak which his Russian rival described as “crazy”.

SLOVIANSK, Ukraine (AP) — It's at night that residents of the eastern Ukrainian city of Sloviansk are most afraid, when rocket and artillery attacks happen more frequently. Shells and rockets slam into gardens and apartment buildings, sending chunks of masonry and shards of glass hurtling through the darkness.
Little more than 11 kilometers (7 miles) southwest of the front line and within artillery range of Russian forces, Sloviansk has sustained increasingly frequent attacks. The city is considered a strategic target in Moscow’s ambition to seize all of Donetsk province, a largely Russian-speaking area in eastern Ukraine that makes up part of the Donbas, Ukraine’s industrial heartland.
On Wednesday, firefighters sifted through the still-smoldering rubble of an apartment building, looking for possible victims after a predawn strike collapsed part of the structure. After hours of searching, using a crane to remove slabs of concrete and reach down to the basement, they emerged with a white body bag. Relatives waiting anxiously nearby said they were also searching for an elderly couple who lived on the third floor.
“What is happening now is not just scary, it’s gruesome,” said 75-year-old Raisa Smielkova, who lives in another part of the same building and whose apartment suffered only minor damage. This war, she said, is worse than the previous one in 2014, when Ukrainian forces battled Russian-backed separatists. “There is more destruction. Everything is worse. Just everything.”
Relying on their pensions to survive, she and her husband can’t afford to move away to a safer part of Ukraine, Smielkova said.
“If we get killed, we get killed, what can I do?,” she said. “Some are saying to me: are not you afraid? And I answer: Of course I’m afraid. Only the fools are not afraid, the rest are afraid just like me.”
Just over 24 hours earlier in another part of the city, the force of the blast from another strike threw 92-year-old Maria Ruban out of bed and onto the floor. She doesn’t remember how long she lay there, alone and helpless, covered in dust.
“I lost consciousness and there was nobody around, nobody could help me,” she said, recounting her ordeal through heavy sighs and some tears. She eventually picked herself up but couldn’t get out of the house - the force of the blast had warped the door shut.
Ruban has lived in her small house in the southern part of Sloviansk since 1957. Now 92, she survived both World War II and the Ukrainian war of 2014. But she said this war is like she's never experienced before.
“I have lived through everything, even starvation. But I have never seen anything like this, like what happened today,” she said, standing in her garden with help from a rough wooden cane. Behind her, relatives and neighbors hammered plastic sheeting over her damaged roof and picked twisted chunks of shrapnel out of her tomato plant beds to the distant sound of pounding artillery.
It had been around midnight on Monday night when Ruban lay down and covered herself with a duvet. “I thought: ‘now they will start their attacks,’ because they attack at this time,” she said. She wasn’t wrong.
Now she worries about how she’ll make it through Ukraine’s bitterly cold winter, with a damaged roof and blasted-out windows.
“Oh God, please help me so the roof can be covered for the winter,” she cried. “Who knows how long I will live for.” Ruban had lost her windows to explosions in the 2014 war too, she said. “All I know is repairs, to live and to repair.”
Across the street, a projectile struck a neighbor’s yard, leveling his home and damaging several other residences. The neighbor, who didn’t want to give his name, had been sleeping next to a window in a front room. His roof was blasted away, his walls crumbled and an apple tree in his front garden was blown clear across the street. But he escaped without so much as a scratch.
Taking a break from digging through the rubble to find his identity documents, he peered into the large crater where his front garden used to be, the bottom filled with water from overnight rainfall.
He had been thinking of planting potatoes this year, he said wryly, but now perhaps he should turn to raising fish instead.

From expressways to schools and everyday abbreviations, Singapore is known for its plethora of acronyms. So it’s probably no surprise that the real estate arena is full of it too - and unless you’re in the industry or familiar with the ins and outs of it, it can be a little too much to absorb and decipher all at once.
Well, that’s where this quick guide comes in. Whilst it is by no means exhaustive, the following list of common property-related jargon will definitely bring you up to speed.
Bridging loan
A bridging loan is essentially a short-term bank loan. For example, if you’ve already found a new place to buy but haven’t managed to sell your existing property, such loans can help bridge the gap and provide adequate funds before the sales proceeds come in.
Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) and Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD)
All buyers will have to pay a tax - known as stamp duty - upon a successful property transaction. As for ABSD, you can think of it as an additional tax that’s applicable for liable buyers on the purchase of residential properties in Singapore. For Singaporeans looking to purchase their first property, ABSD will not apply.
Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS)
Usually applicable for the purchase of newly-launched condominium units, it is a form of progress payment that allows a buyer to defer the bulk of the payment to a later date. To secure their desired unit, they can simply place a downpayment first.
Fixtures
These are things that are literally affixed or attached to the property, such as built-in carpentry and sinks. As such, these are considered to be sold along with the property and should not be forcibly removed.
Freehold and leasehold properties
Private properties with a freehold tenure are popular in land-scarce Singapore as they can be held indefinitely by their owners. On the flipside, leasehold properties - such as HDB flats with 99-year leases - will have to be returned back to the state after the tenure ends.
In-Principle Approval (IPA)
IPAs provide a rough estimate of the loan quantum a bank is ready to extend to you for the purchase of a home within a validity period. The amount offered is dependent on factors such as your financial health and credit score. With these numbers in mind, you will also be able to budget your finances better.
Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR)
MSR is the proportion of your monthly gross income - capped at 30per cent - that goes towards repaying all housing loans. Do take note, however, that it only applies to the purchase of an HDB flat or an executive condominium where the minimum occupation period has not been satisfied. In other words, it doesn’t affect private property purchases.
Option to Purchase (OTP)
An OTP is a legally-binding document that allows a potential buyer to chope the unit exclusively for a specified period of time, and it usually comes with a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 for HDB flats or 1per cent of the purchase price for private properties. During that period, the seller is legally obliged not to sell his or her property to anyone else.
Per Square Foot (PSF)
Often used as a gauge of price and value when discussing private property, the PSF can be calculated by dividing the price of the property by its land area.
Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA)
According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore, SORA is the volume-weighted average rate of borrowing transactions in the unsecured overnight interbank SGD cash market in Singapore between 8am and 6.15pm.
In time to come, SORA will be replacing Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and the Singapore Dollar Swap Offer Rate (SOR) as the key interest rate benchmark for Singapore Dollar loans and other financial products, so you’ll want to be familiar with it.
Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR)
Remember MSR? Well, TDSR is kind of similar. This time, it refers to the portion of a borrower's gross monthly income that goes towards repaying all monthly debt repayments - including the loan being applied for. According to the latest regulations, a borrower's TDSR should be less than or equal to 55 per cent.
Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP)
Here’s the TLDR version: Once the TOP is granted by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) for a newly-completed residential project, it means key requirements have been met and it is safe for inhabitation.
Homeowners will be able to collect their keys and move in temporarily whilst relatively minor work in the project continues to be carried out - think amenities or facilities such as a rooftop garden, playground or swimming pool.
ALSO READ: What you need to know about the new ABSD rule on living trusts
Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC)
When BCA issues the CSC for a residential development, this means that all requirements have been met.
Homeowners may now legally settle in their respective home as the development is now certified safe and fully completed. Unlike the TOP, which is optional, the CSC must be applied for by the respective developers.

BNP Fund Unit, Amundi Eye Vertical Farms as Droughts Worsen
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- After a series of stock market setbacks, investor interest in vertical farms is once again on the rise.
Vertical farms grow fruits, vegetables and herbs in stacked layers in a controlled indoor environment. Spurred by the risk of food shortages resulting from severe droughts, heatwaves and other extreme weather events in Europe, Asia and the US, there is now a revival of interest among fund managers, private-equity firms and some large corporations.
Gresham House, a UK alternative investment specialist, plans to boost its investment in vertical farms by 10 times over the next three to five years, boosting its total commitment to between £300 million ($344 million) and £500 million. Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. invested in an Israeli-Dutch vertical farm startup called Future Crops in March. And now, BNP Paribas Asset Management and CPR Asset Management, a unit of Amundi SA, are considering potential investments.
“We have to really recognize that in a time of limited resources, limited fertile soil and limited water availability, we need a new way to feed nine billion people in the next 20 years,” said Rob Appleby, founder and chief investment officer of Cibus funds, a private-equity platform specializing in food and agriculture. “That’s why you’re going to see growth in the sector.”
Currently, most vertical farmers lack scale, making it tough to raise money via stock listings. The market turbulence hasn’t helped. AeroFarms dropped its plan last October to go public via a merger, while shares of AppHarvest Inc. of Morehead, Kentucky, have slumped to less than $3 from a peak of $38 in 2021.
The market slide may ultimately provide an opportunity for an industry that’s under relentless pressure. Global food supplies are increasingly being squeezed—first by the pandemic, then by supply-chain bottlenecks, and more recently by summer droughts, floods and wildfires.
On the plus side, vertical farming “is more water efficient and land efficient than traditional farms or glass houses, and also has strong benefits in terms of food security,” said Peter Bachmann, managing director at Gresham House. The company, whose clients are mostly local-authority pensions, has an investment in Fischer Farms, a producer of leafy greens.If things stack up properly, Britain will soon be home to two of the world’s biggest vertical farms, Jones Food Co. and Fischer Farms. Each expects to open a second facility later this year, adding an extra 15,000 and 25,000 square meters of space, respectively.
The US has more than 2,000 vertical farms. China is experimenting with innovative skyscraper designs, while Singapore is pushing vertical farming in an urban setting. In the Middle East and Africa, the market value of vertical farms is forecast to grow to $4.9 billion by 2029 from about $1 billion today, according to market research firm Data Bridge.
Vertical farming will never feed the world on its own. Indeed, it has been criticized for being a gimmicky way to pitch gourmet salads to the rich, as opposed to a possible solution for world hunger. So far it has only proved economical for salad greens, herbs and certain vegetables, and not calorie-rich staples such as grains.
But for some investors, vertical farming offers a novel, tech-driven opportunity.
BNP Paribas has a small exposure to vertical farm-related stocks in its Environmental Absolute Return Thematic Fund. “Not only is vertical farming a key focus currently, it is also an area towards which we will actively allocate capital in the future,” said Ulrik Fugmann, co-manager of the BNP Paribas fund.
Stephane Soussan, a portfolio manager at CPR, said that many of the publicly-traded companies also grow cannabis, which makes it tricky for him to invest because of environmental, social and governance considerations. CPR currently has an investment in a company that provides hydroponic equipment and technology to vertical farms. Soussan expects to raise CPR’s exposure when more profitable vertical farms enter the market.
As startups, vertical farms gobble up capital and can take years to make profits or even achieve the scale of revenues necessary for a successful public listing. The result: Some of the companies prefer to remain private.
“We believe staying private for longer will allow us to stay agile and adaptive,” said James Lloyd-Jones, founder and chief executive of Jones Food, which is 52%-owned by UK’s online grocery Ocado Group Plc. But he doesn’t rule out an initial public offering further down the road.
For interested investors, the long-term promise can outweigh the shorter-term risks. Vertical farms are shielded from bad weather. They also consume 70% to 95% less water and emit less carbon than traditional farms, and their products are typically pesticide free and boast a longer shelf life.
“Against a backdrop of climate change, vertical farming is helping retailers guarantee the availability of produce on shelves,” said BNP’s Fugmann.

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III vowed in his first speech as monarch Friday to carry on Queen Elizabeth II’s “lifelong service” with his own modernizing stamp, as Britain entered an uncertain new age under a new sovereign. Around the world, the queen’s exceptional reign was commemorated, celebrated and debated.
Charles, who spent much of his 73 years preparing for the role of king, addressed a nation grieving the only British monarch most people alive today had ever known. He takes the throne in an era of unease for both his country and the monarchy itself.
He spoke of his “profound sorrow” over the death of his mother, calling her “an inspiration and example to me and to all my family.”
“That promise of lifelong service I renew to all today,” he said in the 9 1/2-minute address, recorded earlier in the day and delivered with a framed photo of the queen on a desk in front of him.
“As the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I, too, now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation,” he said.
The king’s speech was broadcast on television and streamed at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where some 2,000 people attended a service of remembrance for the queen. They included Prime Minister Liz Truss and officials in her government, along with hundreds of members of the public who lined up for tickets.
As the country began a 10-day mourning period, people around the globe gathered at British embassies to pay homage to the queen, who died Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after an unprecedented 70 years on the throne.
In London and at military sites across the United Kingdom, cannons fired 96 shots in an elaborate, 16-minute salute marking each year of the queen’s life.
The widespread admiration for Elizabeth in Britain and across its former colonies was occasionally mixed with scorn for the institution and the imperial history she symbolized.
Charles, who became the monarch immediately upon his mother’s death, will be formally proclaimed king at a ceremony on Saturday. He is expected to tour the United Kingdom in the coming days.
The queen’s coffin will be brought to London, where she will lie in state before a funeral at Westminster Abbey, expected around Sept. 19.
On the king’s first full day of duties, Charles left Balmoral and flew to London for a meeting with Truss, appointed by the queen just two days before her death.
He arrived at Buckingham Palace, the monarch’s London home, for the first time as sovereign, emerging from the official state Bentley limousine alongside Camilla, the queen consort, to shouts from the crowd of “Well done, Charlie!” and the singing of the national anthem, now called “God Save the King.” One woman gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Under intense scrutiny and pressure to show he can be both caring and regal, Charles walked slowly past flowers heaped at the palace gates for his mother. The mood was both grieving and celebratory.
“It has been so touching. … All those people, come to give their condolences,” he told Truss during their meeting.
“It’s the moment I’ve been dreading, as I know a lot of people have,” he added, referring to his mother’s death. “But you try and keep everything going.”
The changing of the guard comes at a time when many Britons are facing an energy crisis, the soaring cost of living, the war in Ukraine and the fallout from Brexit.
In his speech, Charles looked to both the past — noting his mother’s unwavering “dedication and devotion as sovereign” — and the future, seeking to strike a reassuring note of constancy while signaling that his will be a 21st-century monarchy.
He reflected on how the country had changed dramatically during the queen’s reign into a society “of many cultures and many faiths,” and pledged to serve people in Britain and the 14 other countries where he is king “whatever may be your background or beliefs.”
The lifelong environmentalist said he was confident work on “the issues for which I care so deeply” would “go on in the trusted hands of others.”
He spoke of his son Prince William, now heir to the throne and formally given the title that Charles long held, Prince of Wales. William and his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, will “continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given,” Charles said, referring to the couple’s work on homelessness, mental health and other issues.
He also struck a note of reconciliation after a raw family rift when he said, “I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
Prince Harry and wife Meghan have been in a tense relationship with the royal family since they stepped away from their official duties and left the country in 2020, citing what they said were the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media toward the biracial American actress.
As the second Elizabethan Age came to a close, throngs of people arrived all day to grieve together and lay flowers outside the gates of Buckingham Palace and other royal residences.
Finance worker Giles Cudmore said the queen had “just been a constant through everything, everything good and bad.”
At Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, mourner April Hamilton stood with her young daughter, struggling to hold back tears.
“It’s just such a momentous change that is going to happen,” she said. “I’m trying to hold it together today.”
Many sporting and cultural events were canceled as a mark of respect, and some businesses — including Selfridges department store and the Legoland amusement park — shut their doors. The Bank of England postponed its meeting by a week.
Elizabeth was Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and a symbol of constancy in a turbulent era that saw the decline of the British empire and upheaval in her family, including the messy divorce of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
The public’s affection for the queen had helped sustain support for the monarchy amid complaints in some quarters that it had outlived its usefulness. But Charles does not command that kind of popularity.
“Charles can never replace her, you know,” said 31-year-old Londoner Mariam Sherwani.
Like many, she referred to Elizabeth as a grandmother figure. Others compared her to their mothers, or great-grandmothers.
But around the world, her passing revealed conflicting emotions about the nation and institutions she represented.
In Ireland, some soccer fans cheered.
For some, Elizabeth was a queen whose coronation glittered with shards of a stunning 3,106-carat diamond pulled from grim southern African mines, a monarch who inherited an empire they resented. Across Africa, nations rejected British rule and chose independence in her first decade on the throne.
In India, once the “jewel in the crown” of the British empire, entrepreneur Dhiren Singh described his own personal sadness at her death, but added: “I do not think we have any place for kings and queens in today’s world.”

Tensions are rising in the Taiwan Strait. In recent years, many developed nations have become concerned about China’s military expansion.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has increased anxiety that China, with its military dominance, will unilaterally attempt to change the status quo in Taiwan.
In June 2022, the Leaders’ Communique issued at the G7 Summit included a statement to “underscore the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and encourage a peaceful resolution of cross-Strait issues.” This is the second consecutive year that Taiwan has been mentioned.
Among G7 members, Japan and the United States stand out as having strong stances toward defending Taiwan. At the April 2021 Japan-US Leaders’ Summit, the joint statement reiterated “the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait’ and encouraged ‘the peaceful resolution of cross-Strait issues.”
It was the first time that Taiwan was mentioned in a Japan-US joint leaders’ statement since 1969.
Japan’s stance on Taiwan has been ambiguous for many years. This is the result of complex internal politics rather than strategic ambiguity.
Taiwan is a sensitive issue in Japan’s relations with both the United States and China. Within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, pro-Taiwan and pro-China factions are fiercely opposed.
Because Japan’s participation in a potential conflict over Taiwan is affected by the Japanese constitution — which has strictly constrained the use of military force overseas — Japan’s involvement has become a point of contention among conservative and reformist forces.
The “Taiwan Clause” included in the 1969 Japan-US Joint Statement meant that if a conflict occurred over Taiwan, the Japanese government would guarantee the deployment of US military personnel stationed in Japan.
In exchange for the United States’ promise to return Okinawa, Japan expressed its position that a conflict over Taiwan was not disconnected from its domestic security.
The inclusion of the phrase that “the maintenance of peace and security in the Taiwan area was also a most important factor for the security of Japan” was a last-minute expression thought up by the Japanese government, seeking to avoid excessively provoking China.
While upholding the legal force of the Taiwan Clause, Japan has tried to deal with the Taiwan problem politically with China. In the Joint Communique of the Government of Japan and the Republic of China in 1972, China stated that “Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.”
Japan displayed “understanding” and “respect” and showed China political compromise by stating that it “firmly maintains its stand under Article 8 of the Potsdam Proclamation”, which referenced the return of Taiwan to China.
At the time the Japanese government accepted the Potsdam Declaration, “China” meant the Republic of China. However, the Japanese government has used the term to refer to the People’s Republic of China since 1949.
The Japanese government’s position was that it respected the “One China” policy and aimed for a peaceful resolution of any future separation of China and Taiwan, but reserved the option to apply the US-Japan Security Treaty if conflict erupted. The thinking of the Japanese government at that time has formed the basis of government opinions up until today.
Japan has continued to adopt a politically ambiguous position on whether a conflict over Taiwan is included in the application of the US-Japan Security Treaty.
In September 1997, the guidelines underpinning Japan-US security cooperation were reconsidered and legal preparations were made to enable the Japan Self-Defense Force to support the US military in the event of “situations in areas surrounding Japan that have important influence on Japanese security.”
But the government at the time avoided clarifying whether the Taiwan Strait was included in the “areas surrounding Japan.”
In the 2010s, as Chinese military dominance gained momentum, former prime minister Shinzo Abe responded strategically to the situation. But when Abe passed a range of peace and security laws in 2015, he was cautious in his comments concerning a possible conflict over Taiwan.
The purpose of Abe’s peace and security laws was to enable the partial exercise of collective self-defense, which had been difficult to engage in under previous interpretations of the Japanese constitution.
Even debates in the National Diet had avoided commenting on situations where it would be possible to exercise collective self-defense. The government at the time repeatedly said that it would determine such circumstances concretely and on a case-by-case basis when a military attack occurred.
Against the backdrop of US-China tensions, and with growing Chinese military intimidation, the Japanese government shifted its position of ambiguity and started to make clear that it would participate in the defense of Taiwan.
As the Japanese public became increasingly concerned about the threat posed by China, the Japanese government came to believe that a positive stance on the Taiwan issue would be supported by public opinion.
Abe joined an online symposium held in Taiwan in December 2021, where he stated that “a Taiwan crisis is a Japan crisis; it is also a crisis for the Japan-US alliance.”
As the Japan-China relationship has continued to cool, pro-China groups within Japan have lost their influence, while calls for Japan to send a clear message regarding the defense of Taiwan have become stronger.
The tone of the debate in Japan continues to evolve. Yet, unlike Abe’s remark, a Taiwan crisis will not necessarily lead to a crisis for Japan directly. Joint strategic plans to prepare for conflict over Taiwan are being advanced at the operational level, but what is more important are the decisions at the government level.
If a conflict occurs in the Taiwan Strait, it is the Japanese government which will decide whether to commit to supporting the US military or to engage in joint strategies with the US military by exercising collective self-defense.
The authorization of the Diet is also necessary to facilitate these decisions. As to whether Japan should bear the risk of getting tangled up in a war with China to defend Taiwan, the government does not yet have the support of the Japanese people.
It is highly likely that any conflict over Taiwan would be a hybrid war that combines tactics like guerrilla espionage and cyber-attacks. Unless the Chinese military directly attacks the US military bases in Okinawa or the Sakishima Islands, the grey area of the present circumstances has so far staved off war.
Japanese politicians will eventually be pressured to make the difficult decision of determining at what stage the situation should be considered an “emergency.”
The Japanese government should not soften its position in favor of a peaceful resolution to the Taiwan problem through diplomacy. But at the same time, as a conflict over Taiwan — the worst possible scenario — becomes more realistic, public debate about the extent a military response will be necessary.

Fox's Tucker Carlson called country star Maren Morris a "lunatic" after she defended transgender kids -- so she used the insult to raise over $150,000 for organizations supporting transgender youth.
Morris partnered with GLAAD, the world's largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, and Trans Lifeline to release a shirt emblazoned with the words "Lunatic Country Music Person."
Proceeds from the shirt will go toward GLAAD's Transgender Media Program and Trans Lifeline, which runs a hotline for transgender youth in crisis and provides micro grants and support for transgender people in need, according to a statement shared with CNN.
Stacker compiled a look at all 27 amendments to America's governing document, the Constitution. Click for more.
Carlson called Morris a "lunatic country music person" after she responded to comments referencing transgender youth made by country singer Jason Aldean's wife, Brittany Kerr Aldean.
"I'd really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life," wrote Aldean in the caption of a makeup video posted to Instagram.
"Im glad they didn't too, cause you and I wouldn't have worked out," replied her Grammy-winning husband in a comment.
Soon, fellow country singer Cassadee Pope tweeted criticism of Brittany Kerr Aldean, writing, "You'd think celebs with beauty brands would see the positives in including LGBTQ+ people in their messaging."

Morris jumped in to support Pope, writing, "This isn't political. We're calling someone out for being transphobic and thinking it's hilarious. It isn't."
Aldean said her words were taken out of context and appeared to respond to the backlash with a sweatshirt of her own with the text, "Don't tread on our kids." Proceeds go to Operation Light Shine, which fights human trafficking and child sexual exploitation.
The exchange was an apparent reference to ongoing battles over transgender youth's ability to access gender-affirming care. In August, Boston Children's Hospital reported that it had received violent threats because of misinformation that it performed genital surgeries on young children. Gender-affirming care -- an umbrella term for treatments that help transgender people align their physical traits with their personal gender identity -- has been approved by major medical associations, including the American Medical Association and the Children's Hospital Association.
"By publicly speaking out to support trans youth, country music superstar, Maren Morris is connecting with an audience who may be less familiar with the transgender community and the current wave of attacks on their rights," said Anthony Allen Ramos, GLAAD's vice president of communications and talent, in the organization's statement.
"Not only is she using her platform and influence to help further the conversation and likely change hearts and minds, she is raising crucial funds which will go directly into GLAAD and Trans Lifeline's work to support the trans community at a time when it's needed more than ever."

Kenya’s outgoing President, Uhuru Kenyatta, has declared four days of national mourning following the passing away of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.
She died on Thursday aged 96 – at her Balmoral residence, in Scotland. She was the longest-reigning monarch in the UK – after being the nation’s figurehead for seven decades.
The Queen’s son, Charles, will formerly be proclaimed as King in an ancient ceremony – due to be held at St James’s Palace in London this morning. Kenyatta has directed that the Kenyan flag be blown at half-mast across the country.
“Before we start, may I ask that we all stand and observe a minute of silence in honour of Queen Elizabeth, who became queen while here in Kenya,” said Kenyatta.
Tributes from world leaders continue to pour in
South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa
“Her majesty was an extraordinary and world-renowned public figure who lived a remarkable life. Her life and legacy will be fondly remembered by many around the world. The Queen’s commitment and dedication during her 70 years on the throne remains a noble and virtuous example to the entire world.”

“In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her.” In a statement, they said, “Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world.”
Russian President, Vladimir Putin
In a message to Charles, Britain’s new king, Putin said, “The Queen rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as authority on the world stage.” He adds, “I wish you courage and resilience in the face of this difficult, irreparable loss. May I ask you to pass on sincere condolences and support to members of the royal family and the entire people of Great Britain.”

“The Ghanaian people have very fond memories of the two visits she made to Ghana during her reign, and, on both occasions, we remember the friendliness, elegance, style and sheer joy she brought to the performance of her duties.”
Nigerian President, Muhammad Buhari
“The story of modern Nigeria will never be complete without a chapter on Queen Elizabeth II, a towering global personality and an outstanding leader. She dedicated her life to making her nation, the Commonwealth and the entire world a better place.”
New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern
“I know that I speak for people across New Zealand in offering our deepest sympathy to members of the Royal Family at the passing of the Queen. To us she was a much admired and respected monarch; to them she was a mother and grandmother.” says Arden.
She adds, “The Queen was a much loved and admired monarch, whose record reign of 70 years is an absolute testament to her, and her commitment to us all. She was extraordinary.”

Trump Ally Ejected, Permanently Barred from Office with Court Ruling Not Seen Since the Civil War Era
A county commissioner in New Mexico is facing a punishment created for former Confederates after the Civil War following his conviction on a misdemeanor in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion.
Couy Griffin was convicted in March on a charge of entering a restricted area stemming from his presence at the Capitol that day, according to Politico.
In a Tuesday ruling, a state district judge declared Griffin “barred for life” from holding any federal, state or local office — including his current position as Otero County commissioner.
Judge Francis J. Mathew of the 1st Judicial District Court in Santa Fe said he was permanently prohibiting Griffin from holding government office under the 14th Amendment.
Mathew accused the county commissioner of participating in an “insurrection” and thus violating his oath of office.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars participants in an insurrection from holding civil office.
The law was ratified in the wake of the Civil War, with the Union keen on forbidding officials of the former Confederacy from regaining power, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
Griffin didn’t open fire at Fort Sumter, however. The “Cowboys for Trump” founder served 14 days of jail time as a punishment for his singular nonviolent misdemeanor conviction, according to Source New Mexico.
The political activist was acquitted on a second charge of disorderly and disruptive conduct.
The county commissioner wasn’t accused of entering the Capitol building itself during the disturbance, according to Source New Mexico.
Griffin Ruling by The Western Journal
Griffin was convicted of “illegally breaching multiple security barriers and occupying restricted Capitol grounds,” according to Mathew’s ruling.
The judge conceded that the county commissioner didn’t engage in violence during the event.
“Mr. Griffin aided the insurrection even though he did not personally engage in violence,” Mathew wrote. “By joining the mob and trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds, Mr. Griffin contributed to delaying Congress’s election-certification proceedings.”
That doesn’t exactly ring “insurrection” like routing the federal troops at the Battle of Bull Run, does it?
The federal government issued broad amnesties fully restoring the civil rights of most former Confederates after the Civil War, according to Heritage Library.
It’s hard to imagine that the designers of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment were planning on lifetime penalties for people who did two weeks of jail time for trespassing.
Mathew’s ruling represents the first time a judge has disqualified a citizen from elected office under the 14th Amendment since 1869, according to the left-wing Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Griffin has been removed from office as an immediate consequence of the ruling.
He described the ruling Tuesday as a “disgrace,” according to the Santa Fe New Mexican.
“I was shocked this morning when the county manager called me and told me they had already been in my office and confiscated my computer,” Griffin said.
“That they had already changed the code on the door … and that I’m no longer a county commissioner.”
He said he planned to appeal Mathew’s ruling, in part on the grounds that the judge did not have jurisdiction to remove him from office.
Griffin said he had no intention to run for elected office again but would be interested in an appointed position if former President Donald Trump were to return to the White House.

Small nuke reactors emerge as energy option, but risks loom
By MENELAOS HADJICOSTIS
Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — A global search for alternative sources to Russian energy during the war in Ukraine has refocused attention on smaller, easier-to-build nuclear power stations. Proponents say they could provide a cheaper, more efficient alternative to older model mega-plants. U.K.-based Rolls-Royce SMR says its small modular reactors, or SMRs, are cheaper and quicker to get running than standard plants, delivering the kind of energy security that many nations are seeking. But the reactors are many years away from operating and cannot solve the energy crisis now hitting Europe. Nuclear power also poses risks, including disposing of highly radioactive waste and keeping that technology out of the hands of rogue countries that may pursue a nuclear weapons program.

S. Mark Kamaleson, MD, a general orthopedic surgeon who is part of the Optim Health Systems team, is personally familiar with some of the challenges his patients face.
A board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Kamaleson specializes in general orthopedics (hand, shoulder and knee) surgery for musculoskeletal injuries and conditions at Optim Orthopedics.
Some orthopedic surgeons found their inspiration in the classroom, others found it in a textbook. Dr. Kamaleson found his on the ski slopes in the form of a skiing injury and subsequent ACL reconstruction.
“The doctor who did my ACL reconstruction was the team doctor for UCLA. When he knew I was interning in medicine, he really took the time to explain the procedure and get a little more detailed in what he was doing,” said Dr. Kamaleson. “I still love to ski – I just haven’t in a few years.”
In his practice, Dr. Kamaleson treats elbow conditions, foot, ankle and lower leg conditions, hands and upper extremities, shoulders, hips and knees.
While ACL reconstructions were his introduction to orthopedics, he eventually gravitated toward hand surgery, for which he earned a fellowship. “Hand surgery, the elbow and everything below it, is probably about 40-50 percent of what I do,” he explained.
He and his wife Sara have six children. “So when I get done at work I’m the Uber driver,” he said with a laugh.
An active member of Savannah’s Community Bible Church, Dr. Kamaleson is very involved with a charity co-founded by his parents called Bethel Agricultural Fellowship. An orphanage, school and farm run on a family farm in Southern India, Dr. Kamaleson joined the board to not only carry on his parents’ work but to honor his brother. “Two years ago my brother was working in Afghanistan and was killed by the Taliban. When he died, I joined the board and have been involved ever since.”
Paige Mincey is his nurse practitioner. She treats patients in the Brunswick clinic every Tuesday. Dr. Kamaleson treats patients in the Brunswick clinic the fourth Tuesday of the month.
Optim’s physicians treat every bone in the body and work together as a team for their patients. The approach is called “Combined Strength,” and the medical team at Optim uses this approach to “get you back to you.”
Optim Health System offers world-class, compassionate care, close to home. They operate more than 20 clinics across Southeast Georgia as well as the physician-owned orthopedic specialty hospital Optim Medical Center-Tattnall, in Reidsville; Optim Medical Center-Screven in Sylvania; and Optim Surgery Center in Savannah.
Optim Health System’s network of highly skilled physicians, specialty-focused facilities, and experienced nurses, and other personnel gives residents of Glynn County access to the company’s uniquely safe, high-quality, personalized care that sets the standard in today’s health care.
At the Brunswick clinic, Optim offers full orthopedic evaluations, including diagnostic testing with on-site x-rays, and treatments including injections, casting and splinting.
Optim’s multi-specialty physicians are highly skilled, board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeons.
Referrals aren’t always necessary, but may be required based on the patient’s insurance. In order to provide the best care possible, Optim Health System does request past medical records from previous care received, if the patient has already had treatment and/or testing completed for the condition being evaluated for treatment.
Optim Health System accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran’s Administration, Tricare, most commercial insurance plans, workers’ compensation plans, and personal injury cases.
Optim Health System has earned a reputation throughout the region for their award-winning quality, safety, and patient focused orthopedic care. Because they focus on the patient first and foremost, they have some of the most awarded and accredited facilities for delivering world class care with superior outcomes for orthopedic surgery including: robotic-assisted surgery; minimally invasive procedures; joint surgery; arthroscopic knee surgery; anterior approach hip surgery; spinal fusion surgery; and endoscopic spine procedures.

Polypharmacy is a common problem among elderly people in India. It implies “multiple medications” used by elderly population for various types of comorbidities.
As age grows, so do number of ailments; these include common issues like blood pressure, sugar, joint pains, occasional weakness and may extend to severe ailments including cancer or mental impairment. Because of this problem of multiple ailments, elders fall into trap of polypharmacy.
There are several reasons contributing to this problem.
Firstly, self-medication coupled with easy availability of medicines across the counter which is a common thing in India is one of the prime reasons.
Secondly, elders go to separate doctors (including specialists) at different points of time and do not disclose fully existing medicines and thereby, start consuming new medicines prescribed for fresh problems.
Thirdly, as many elders suffer from chronic ailments, there has been a normal tendency to resort to alternative medicines like Homeopathy or Ayurveda along with allopathy and that results in medicines from different streams being consumed together.
And finally, many elders ignore / forget advice given by doctors to discontinue certain medications and this adds to the problem.
As a result of all the reasons above, it is seen that multiple-medication or polypharmacy is a commonly prevalent problem particularly in Indian context. It is not a rare occasion to see an elderly consuming as high as 15 to 16 pills a day.
Effects of Polypharmacy:
Multiple-medication, if not controlled or monitored properly, may have adverse impacts. Some of these could be having minimum physical implications. But some other drugs, if taken without proper medical supervision, may result in serious physical / mental diseases.
Overdose of medication or mutual adverse reactions of some medicines or taking unnecessary drugs all have their consequences, if continued for a long time. These may cause damage to any of the sensitive organs like liver or kidney or urinary system or lungs or heart, etc. and may sometimes even be life threatening. For example, excess of D3 may cause toxicity which is quite serious; Overdose of blood thinners may be dangerous, and so on. No one is very sure about composition of some of the alternative medicines and these may also damage the organs.
Controlling Polypharmacy:
The only way forward is to control menace of polypharmacy or multiple- medication. Three (3) major strategies to counter it include:
Patient Education: This is important as elder patients who resort to polypharmacy must appreciate the risks, both short as well as long-term. Sometimes, elders take it lightly until they land in problem. Hence patient education is important and it is the responsibility of all of us to make them understand pitfalls of multi-drug usage.
Doctor / Pharmacist Education: Though many doctors are, by and large, aware of the risks of polypharmacy, some of them take it easy. Some doctors sometimes may not even insist on knowing current medicines being taken or was being taken before prescribing new drugs. Though such cases are not common, it happens particularly in some remote places or where doctors are semi-qualified or when the doctor is highly pressed for time like in government hospitals. “Structured doctor education” is thus must. Geriatric specialists are motivated and skilled to do this besides taking care of other needs of elderly patients. Pharmacists should also be educated so as not to give all medicines requested by elders and to check the current ones being used by them.
Regulatory Intervention: The only regulatory intervention is to minimize availability of medicines over the counter (OTC). In India this is a serious issue and needs to be taken cognizance of by the regulators.
However, the primary onus lies on elders. They should consult the family physician or geriatric practitioner or an expert doctor giving details of all the medicines and their dosage they are taking. A chart should be made and given to doctor along with the period since when they have been consuming these medicines. Often, we find many elders are not conversant with exact names or composition or strength of medicine. Better way is to take all medicines to the doctor and explain details of their consumption. The practitioner may then suggest way forward regarding what to continue, what to discontinue and / or taper off. It will be an experimental stage and the patient should follow advice of the practitioner and see reaction for certain period of time say, 2 weeks and then go back to the doctor again for further views / actions.
Way Forward:
We need to accept the fact that polypharmacy is a serious issue in India. Elderly population is exposed more to the problem because of their ignorance, comorbidities, advanced age and long history of medication, prevalence of chronic ailments, reduced patience & pain bearing capacity and digital explosion of marketing by different types of medicine / alternative science drug manufacturers. The problem needs to be taken seriously before it can become a real health hazard.
All elderly patients are, therefore, requested to revisit the medicines being consumed by them and consult their family physician or a geriatric consultant or a medicine specialist to ensure they are not victim to polypharmacy. It is easy to tackle if one has a will.

"I feel very confident saying that IPEF will create jobs in the United States and will create jobs in other IPEF countries," US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Friday at the conclusion of the meeting.

"We were able to finalise all four of the ministerial statements, which lay out the full scope of the framework and provide a roadmap for future discussions."
The initial meeting offered little flesh on the bones of the plans, which come several years after former president Donald Trump yanked the United States out of a much more comprehensive and hard-won regional trade block.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which has since gone ahead without Washington, was hailed as a "high quality" pact that offered a genuine bulwark to Chinese economic power.
But with US public opinion more wary of free trade agreements, which are seen as a threat to American jobs, President Joe Biden's administration opted not to rejoin that pact.
The IPEF brings together the United States, Australia, Brunei, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Raimondo praised the "consensus and commitment among all" members, though she acknowledged that India had not signed onto agreements on trade and the digital economy.
Business leaders at the gathering said the frameworks agreed over two days of negotiations were worthwhile in the absence of a robust pact like the TPP.
"We were very supportive of the TPP but we've just moved on and we're being realistic right now," one business leader told AFP on condition of anonymity, adding that the focus is on "getting the best arrangement we can."
"If the US remains absent from the region, that's a risk," the person said, noting how Beijing has frequently dangled sweeteners to regional players, in the form of infrastructure aid.
"Their help also comes with strings attached and in the long run, that can really hurt US companies in the region."
The alliance is in theory an "open platform" that could eventually include other countries, but does not include Taiwan, a self-ruled island that Beijing claims as its own but that remains a US ally.

Think ahead to next spring and plant shrubs this fall. Autumn’s warm days and cool nights give shrubs (and trees) time to settle into the ground and dedicate energy to establishing roots.
Our zone’s fall weather is generally wetter in autumn and that gives plants the very best start. If you wait until spring to plant, excessive heat can stress plants and slow their growth.
The plus for gardeners is that fall planting means comfortable temperatures for working outside, fewer disease problems, and the best bonus of all, fewer pesky insects like mosquitoes.
Before you buy shrubs for planting, pick your site. When you visit your local garden center, you can feel confident that the nursery plants will grow in our USDA hardiness zone 7b climate. But if you put a shade-loving plant in full sun, or the reverse, your planting project will not be successful.
Plant tags can help you choose the best plant for your site. Look for the icon or phrases that describe the amount of light the plant needs to thrive.
On plant tags, “full sun” means the plant needs at least six hours of sunlight a day. Once established, plants rated for full sun can take heat all day long, although many appreciate shady relief from the late afternoon heat in summer. Look for shade from trees or structures on the west side of your property to help there.
Full Sun Shrubs
• Abelia
• Arborvitae
• Barberry
• Boxwood
• Buddleia (butterfly bush)
• Crape Myrtle
• Cryptomeria
• Elaeagnus
• Holly
• Ligustrum
• Rosemary
• Serviceberry
• Vitex (chaste tree)
• Weigela
“Part shade to full sun” indicates three to six hours of sunlight. Plants that thrive in partial shade need either a slow start to their day, with summer sun reaching them closer to noon, or an early break from hot afternoon sun.
Hydrangea macrophylla is a good example of a part shade shrub. While panicle hydrangeas like “Limelight,” “Quick Fire” and “Pinky Winky” hold up under intense summer sun, big-leafed hydrangea macrophylla wilt when they’ve had too much heat.
Full Sun to Part Shade
• Anise tree (sometimes called “banana shrub”)
• Azalea
• Callicarpa (beautyberry)
• Camellia
• Cleyera
• Distylium
• Gardenia
• Holly
• Hydrangea
• Loropetalum
• Nandina
“Part Sun to Shade” plants need less than three hours of sunlight a day. For flowering shrubs, keep in mind that more sun equals more blooms.
Part Sun to Full Shade shrubs
• Hydrangea macrophylla
• Oakleaf hydrangea
• Mahonia
• Pieris
• Rhododendron
• Yew
Tips for Selecting Shrubs
Not sure where to start choosing shrubs? In your research, look for inspiration — what your neighbors are growing is a good indicator of what grows well in your area. Visit public gardens and go on garden tours and note what you like.
In online research, look for reviews and research extension publications.
Tip: In your search engine, type in your query followed by “site:edu” and you can select from top science-based information from universities across the country. Ex. “best shrubs for my Georgia garden site:edu” will yield Extension articles on the best landscape plant picks for your area.
At the plant nursery, look for shrubs with full, healthy growth. Shrubs can be an investment, so take the time to check them out. It’s okay to pull the plant out of the container and check the roots.
Shrubs can stay in a garden center’s inventory for some time, so make sure the plant isn’t container bound. There’s a balance here — you want to see roots to show that it hasn’t recently been transplanted to the nursery pot, but you don’t want the roots coming out the bottom or wrapped around in a root mass.
How to Plant Shrubs
The old shrub planting method calls for digging a hole twice as wide and twice as deep as the root ball, followed by amending the soil in the bottom with rich compost and organic matter before settling the shrub in place. The twice as wide part is good, the twice as deep part is outdated.
Organic matter like compost is still beneficial, but it’s not necessary to add it to the bottom of the hole, because roots grow outwards, not always downward. Mix compost with the native soil and fill in around the shrub. Top with mulch to keep the bed tidy and protect the plant from extreme weather.
You’ll find that nourishing the plant the way nature does, from the top down, is best. Fertilize shrubs by top dressing with compost and mulch.
Steps for Planting Shrubs
1. Dig a hole twice as wide and only as deep as the root ball.
2. With a garden knife or the side of a trowel, break up the root ball on the shrub and settle the plant into the hole. Position it so that it’s level.
3. Fill in with a mixture of compost and native soil to the top of the root ball.
4. Water plant well.
5. Mulch around the shrub, but don’t pile it around the stem, that just attracts insects. Give plant some breathing room.
Tip: If rain is not in the forecast, a soaker hose is a good solution for giving shrubs the moisture they need while getting established. Set up a timer on the outside faucet and attach the soaker hose.

King Charles III’s first speech to the nation was broadcast at the same time as a service on Friday evening at St. Paul's Cathedral to commemorate his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
After taking over the mantle as the monarch of UK, King Charles III delivered an emotional speech to the nation on Friday, promising to serve the people of England “with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.”
This was King Charles III’s first speech to the nation that was broadcast at the same time as a service on Friday evening at St. Paul's Cathedral to commemorate his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The service was attended by senior politicians and 2,000 members of the public. It also witnessed the first official rendition of the national anthem - God Save the King – after the proclamation of Charles as the new king.
Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday at Balmoral in Scotland aged 96. After her death, her eldest son took the regnal name of Charles III and assumed charge as the king on Thursday.
King Charles III delivered the speech from the same room Elizabeth used for her televised broadcasts. In a sombre and serious tone, Charles paid tribute to the late Queen as a monarch and mother and also gave a vivid demonstration of continuity in this constitutional monarchy.
Here are some of the major takeaways from the king’s speech.
Talking about his mother, the 73-year-old king said, “Queen Elizabeth’s was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept.” Recalling Elizabeth’s vow on her 21st birthday to serve the people, the king too pledged to “uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation” for the remainder of his life.
Acknowledging that his life had now changed, the king said he would no longer be able to devote time and energies to the charities and issues that he deeply cared about. He said he was confident that the important work would go on to the trusted hands of others.
He announced that his elder son William and his wife Catherine would be the Prince and Princess of Wales. He also expressed his love for his second son Harry and his wife Meghan “as they continue to build their lives overseas".
About the Queen Consort and his wife for 17 years, Camilla, the king said: "I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much."
In the end, he thanked his “darling Mama” for the love and devotion she had shown to her family and nations all these years.
"May 'flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest'," the king said in the end.

This week, I found a video that shows how people truly see relationships (and it disturbed me deeply).
Kirstie Taylor has 229k followers on TikTok. She posted a video saying the beginning of a relationship should be equal. Each party should invest the same effort.
Sounds simple, right?
The comments on the video disagree: It’s not simple at all. I was shocked to notice how much the idea of equality enraged women. Here are some of the comments:
“Please just send a “had a great time text” after the date cause I’m gonna interpret silence as disinterest.”
Or, what’s even more concerning:
“After we’ve been dating for like 2 years and he’s proven himself to be a partner that I want to keep around, then sure I’ll start matching his energy.”
Women expect more effort from men at the beginning of a relationship (even when they’re not willing to put in the effort).
But what’s behind this expectation?
Rules limit you.
I’m a big fan of rules. Rules exist for a reason: To clarify things and make sure everybody is on the same page. That’s why we need the label “we’re in a relationship.” It tells you what to do.
But rules also limit your options.
When you say, “I won’t give him a chance if he doesn’t text me after the date,” you limit yourself. There are multiple reasons a man won’t text you. Maybe he’s busy with work, he had to travel, his phone has no battery, or he just forgot.
Imagine you dumped the love of your life just because his phone isn’t charged.
Now you say, “I have high standards, and that protects me from jerks!” And you’re right. But your standards need to be reasonable. You can’t expect a man to invest everything he has in you while you play hard to get. That’s not a standard; that’s a childish rule.
You need the sweet balance between your standards and being open-minded.
The good news is that you get to determine your rules. You determine what you can tolerate and what you can’t.
Relationships are all about negotiation. Maybe you can tolerate his weird hobby or not receiving as many texts as you wish. In return, he’ll watch Gossip Girl with you or take you on weekly dates. You have to learn what matters more to you and what you’re willing to negotiate.
Be careful with your high standards. They might be a sign that you fear change (even if unconsciously).
What about feminism?
Feminism says men and women should be equal. It preaches equality of rights, opportunities, and responsibilities.
Those comments go against the core idea of feminism.
When a woman says she’ll wait two years until she matches her partner’s efforts, she expects him to invest more than her. That’s far from equal. She expects the man to do all the work for her.
I find that extremely concerning coming from women.
Women should have high standards. But when they allow men to take the initiative, they become a passive spectator in their own love life. The relationship depends completely on the man’s interest. If you ask me, that’s an old mindset that doesn’t work anymore.
Modern feminism puts women as the protagonist of their lives.
Have you ever liked a protagonist who waits for others? I guess not. “If he doesn’t text, he doesn’t like me” is an excuse not to pursue your interests. But feminism defends that women can (and should) go after what they want.
Don’t get me wrong: Women shouldn’t always take the initiative, especially when the man doesn’t show interest. But you can’t expect others to read your mind. When you like a man, you’re responsible for communicating it.
How to solve this.
Kirstie says we should be equal in dating. But I think reciprocity is a better word.
Reciprocity is when you watch your partner’s actions and match them.
Watch how often they text if they take the initiative to plan dates, and how much they share about themselves. Then, you do the same. When they text once, you can text first the next time. This habit ensures you’re on the same page.
Reciprocity can make or break your relationship.
Imagine you start dating a guy, and you’re ready to go all-in. If he goes above and beyond for you, you’ll receive it well. But if you’re not ready for commitment, you’ll find it suffocating.
He had the same attitude in both scenarios. But your expectation changed.
That’s why you need to watch your partner: So you can determine their level of interest and act accordingly.
Now, imagine the comments in Kirstie’s video are real. Except now, I want you to picture the man’s perspective. Imagine a man puts in the effort to plan a date, and the woman never texts or plans another date (because she thinks he should text first).
This woman didn’t reciprocate his action.
Even if she had a great time, she didn’t make the next move. What’s worse: She blames him for his lack of initiative. She left all responsibility to the other party (although she hoped for a different outcome). This man may even insist a bit longer, but he’ll eventually feel exhausted and give up.
Don’t blame others for your lack of reciprocity.
The comments in Kirstie’s video show women don’t want to match men’s efforts at the start of a relationship. Maybe it’s because their previous relationships were traumatic, or their standards are way too high.
But here’s what matters: Relationships are made of two people.
When one party puts in the effort and the other doesn’t, it won’t work. It doesn’t matter if the couple goes too fast or too slow. What matters is that they reciprocate each other’s feelings.
You may not be a mind-reader, but people are quite straightforward with their actions. The best thing you can do is spend some time to figure out where your partner stands and match their energy.
One final note: Don’t expect the other party to put in all the effort for you. That’s the quickest way to lose great partners (and attract jerks instead).

"In our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example."

King Charles, who has declared a period of Royal Mourning will be observed until seven days after his mother's funeral, will now be formally proclaimed monarch at a historic Accession Council meeting at St James' Palace today.

5 outfits of Queen Elizabeth II that had hidden messages
The longest-serving monarch of England Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday and as the world mourns her death, let's revisit some of her iconic outfits that had a hidden message or meaning.
- Country:
- United Kingdom
The longest-serving monarch of England Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday and as the world mourns her death, let's revisit some of her iconic outfits that had a hidden message or meaning. 1. Queen Elizabeth II's Wedding Dress
According to many documentaries and Palace staff, the Queen's wedding gown had a very special message. Curated by Joanna Marshner, the gown was paid for by ration coupons given by ordinary women post War. When the Queen married Prince Philip, Britain was still recovering from the economic losses incurred in War and it was difficult to pay for such a heavy gown. So the Queen used her ration coupons given to her by the Government along with a few sent to her by women across the country to pay for the gown.
The dress, made of satin, had many spring flowers, which gave a message of hope and renewal to the British nationals at that point. 2. Queen Elizabeth's outfit after Brexit
Right after Britain opted to exit European Union, the Queen attended the first opening parliament in 2017 right after the decision was made public. She wore a blue and yellow outfit, which are the featured colours in the European Union Flag. Many believe that the message Queen wanted to give was her disapproval of the decision. 3. Queen's outfit for her COVID-19 address to the nation
The Queen chose a green coloured outfit for addressing the nation as the pandemic made waves across the world. Many say that the colour green was picked by her to symbolize growth and renewal. The Queen also wore a diamond and turquoise brooch. The same brooch that Queen Mary gifted her upon her death in 1953. The brooch is considered to be a symbol of protection. 4. Queen's ruby tiara when she met former US President Donald Trump
The Royal family is always neutral when it comes to politics however the Queen, has, on a number of occasions, given a message through her outfit of whether she approves or disapproves of a certain decision or person. When the Queen met Donald Trump, she wore a ruby tiara that was originally gifted to her on her wedding day by the people of Burma (now Myanmar). The Burmese ruby tiara symbolises protection from evil and illness.
Well, we're not going to say what the hidden message behind Queen wearing the tiara was, just connect the dots! 5. Her bright outfits during public appearances
The Queen used to wear bright, vibrant colours during her public appearances for a very simple reason - so that she is noticed amongst the crowd! The Queen's daughter-in-law Sophie revealed this in a 2017 documentary 'The Queen at 90'. (ANI)

Wanted to do commercial films but life had other plans: Sohum Shah
When life offered him an offbeat film like Ship of Theseus, actor Sohum Shah adjusted his compass, set sail and his long-cherished dream of starring in a commercial project came true almost a decade later with the political drama series Maharani.Shah, who hails from Sri Ganganagar city in Rajasthan, says he wanted to become Shah Rukh Khan when he started his acting career with 2013s Ship of Theseus directed by Anand Gandhi.I am an audience of commercial cinema.
- Country:
- India
When life offered him an offbeat film like ''Ship of Theseus'', actor Sohum Shah adjusted his compass, set sail and his long-cherished dream of starring in a commercial project came true almost a decade later with the political drama series ''Maharani''.
Shah, who hails from Sri Ganganagar city in Rajasthan, says he wanted “to become Shah Rukh Khan” when he started his acting career with 2013's ''Ship of Theseus'' directed by Anand Gandhi.
“I am an audience of commercial cinema. I wanted to become Shah Rukh Khan and wanted to do commercial films. But things were not in my hands. Life had planned something else for me.
“I believe a lot in destiny and you can’t control it. Life offered me ‘Ship of Theseus’. Life surprises you. Your taste and style of acting also changes. It is important that you blend with what life throws at you,” the actor told PTI in an interview.
Shah, whose film credits also include Kangana Ranaut-led “Simran” (2017) and “The Big Bull” (2019) headlined by Abhishek Bachchan, said ''Maharani'' is his ''most commercial project ever''.
In ''Maharani'', the actor plays the role of the shrewd Bheema Bharti, former Bihar chief minister who had handpicks his homemaker-wife Rani Bharti (Huma Qureshi) as his successor in season one. He reprised his role in the second season which premiered on August 25.
“‘Maharani’ has turned out to be my most massy project. Not many people know about ‘Tumbbad’ or ‘Ship of Theseus’. I am looking forward to this journey. I want to entertain everyone, including people of my village,” he added.
He also shared how his mother too didn’t warm up to his offbeat films as he recounted taking her to the 75th Venice International Film Festival for the premiere of “Tumbbad”, the 2018 period horror film.
“I remember taking my mother for the premiere of the film at Venice but she slept in the middle. And after she came out from the cinema hall, she asked 'What kind of films do you make?'” ''Maharani 2'' sees Qureshi's Rani Bharti set to reign and ensure fair administration to the citizens of her state. But her path will be full of challenges.
Playing Bheema Bharti in season two came easily to him as compared with the first season, added Shah.
“It was easy to play the character this time as I have already played it before. In season one he did not do anything as he was bedridden but in part two he is doing a lot of things. The character is complex. He is juggling his personal life, professional life and political ideology,” he said.
Some of his upcoming projects are completely different from his previous work, he said. They include a comedy film backed by filmmaker Luv Ranjan and Prime Video series “Dahaad”, directed by Reema Kagti.
“I am doing a comedy film for the first time. It is something that is not expected out of me because I am perceived as a serious type of actor. It is a silent comedy film. The star cast is commercial like Nushrratt Bharuccha, Nora Fatehi and others. It is produced by Luv Ranjan,” he added.
About “Dahaad”, he said, the key reason to board the series was Kagti, known for films such as ''Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.'' and ''Talaash''.
“Reema was directing the show hence I wanted to do it. Besides, the character was really good. It is a serious show but my character is doing comedy. It should be released this year,'' he said.
Shah is also set to produce and star in a commercial thriller-comedy-drama, besides featuring in the social drama “Sanaa”.
''With ‘Sanaa’, which is with Radhika Madan, I felt director Sudhanshu Saria was very honest. I also liked the script,” he added.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Sweden is holding an election Sunday to elect lawmakers to the 349-seat Riksdag as well as to local offices across the nation of 10 million people. Early voting began on Aug. 24, so many people will have already cast their ballots by election day. Here are some key things to know about the vote.
WHAT IS AT STAKE?
Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson is fighting to keep her center-left Social Democrats at the helm of a left-wing coalition but is facing a strong challenge from the right.
Sweden is known for being a cradle-to-grave welfare society and Andersson would like to preserve the social protections that have long defined Sweden, and reverse some of the market-oriented changes by an earlier government. Her party feels that some of the changes, like state subsidies going to private schools, are creating greater inequalities.
The once mighty Social Democrats have been in power since 2014. But as the party's popularity sinks compared with its heyday in the 20th century, it has been forced it to preside over a weaker government relying more on other parties to pass laws, a situation which has produced political instability over the past eight years.
WHO IS LIKELY TO WIN?
There are two major blocs, with four parties on the left and four on the right. The polls leading up to the election showed the two blocs in a near dead heat, with the outcome impossible to predict.
Under Swedish law, it falls to the party that wins the most seats to form a government. Polls show that this is likely to be Andersson's party, in which case it would be up to her first to try to form a coalition government with majority support in the legislature.
But if the left as a whole has a poor showing, she might not be able to form a coalition. In that case, the baton would be passed to the second-largest party to try to form a government.
WHICH PARTY IS IN THE NO. 2 SPOT?
In the last election, in 2018, the Moderates led by Ulf Kristersson, a center-right party, won the second highest number of seats. The conservative party promotes a market economy, lower taxes and a smaller role for government in a country with a generous welfare state supported by high taxes.
But like the Social Democrats, and many other mainstream parties across Europe for that matter, the Moderates have also seen their popularity with voters decline amid a populist challenge coming from further right.
WHO ARE THE POPULISTS?
The Sweden Democrats, a populist right-wing party which takes a hard line on immigration and crime, first entered parliament in 2010 and has been growing steadily ever since.
The party won 13% of the vote in 2018, becoming the third-largest force in parliament. Polls show that is likely to improve on that showing on Sunday.
Some Swedes describe the party as Trumpist and feel put off by the fact that it was founded by far-right extremists decades ago, not quite certain whether to trust it in its transformation to a more traditional conservative party.
The party is led by Jimmie Akesson, a 43-year-old former web designer who has been the driving force in trying to moderate the party’s image.
The party has clearly tapped into the social mood, however. Its success can be measured also by the fact that other parties have been moving closer to its positions as many Swedes believe that they can no longer bear the costs of the generous refugee policies of the past, and are seeking a crackdown on crime.
Once treated as a pariah, other conservative parties have grown increasingly willing to deal with the Sweden Democrats.
HOW SERIOUS IS CRIME IN SWEDEN?
Some of the immigrants who have been welcomed in Sweden in past years have had difficulties assimilating into Swedish society, leading to segregated neighborhoods with high crime rates.
Gang violence mostly takes place among criminal networks dealing drugs or involved in other illicit activity. But there have been recent cases of innocent bystanders being hurt. So far this year, 48 people have been killed by firearms in Sweden, three more than in all of 2021.
The fears triggered by constant news of shootings and explosions in disadvantaged neighborhoods have made crime one of the most pressing issues for voters.
“Shootings and explosions of bombs have increased in the last few years and (this violence) is now considered a great social problem. I wouldn’t say that it’s as bad as Mexico, but we are on the way," said Anders Sannerstedt, a political scientist at Lund University in southern Sweden.
THE GENDER FACTOR
Andersson became Sweden’s first female prime minister less than a year ago — a milestone late in coming for a country that in many ways is an example of gender equality.
“I was really proud,” said Ulrika Hoonk, a 39-year-old who voted early in Stockholm on Friday evening, saying it took “far too long” for that to happen.
Polls show that Andersson's party is especially popular with women, with men tending to vote more conservative.
Even though Andersson is the first prime minister, there are still many women represented in positions of authority. Four party leaders are women and one party has a woman and a man sharing the leadership. In parliament, the gender balance has long been split roughly 50-50.
Several women interviewed this week said that finally having a woman in the top leadership job was very important for them, and one factor they considered when choosing which party to support.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is introducing some of its most radical rules next season, adopting a pitch clock and limiting defensive shifts after concluding modern analytics created a slower, less entertaining sport.
The decisions were made Friday by the sport's 11-man competition committee over the unanimous opposition of the panel's four players. Commissioner Rob Manfred pushed for the innovations along with a management team that included former Boston and Chicago Cubs executive Theo Epstein, now an MLB consultant.
"The influx of data in our industry," Epstein said, "have not improved the game from an esthetic standpoint or from an entertainment standpoint. So in my role now, it's my responsibility to try to look at the big picture, think about what's great for fans."
Players supported the third major initiative: larger bases that are expected to lessen injuries and lead to more stolen bases because of a decreased distance of 4 1/2 inches.
Manfred called the rules an attempt to "bring back the best form of baseball."
"Number one, fans want games with better pace," he said during a news conference. "Two, fans want more action, more balls in play. And three, fans want to see more of the athleticism of our great players."
Union head Tony Clark was noticeably absent, as he was at the announcement of an agreement in March that ended a 99-day lockout.
"Players live the game — day in and day out. On-field rules and regulations impact their preparation, performance, and ultimately, the integrity of the game itself," the union said in a statement. "Major League Baseball was unwilling to meaningfully address the areas of concern that players raised."
The pitch clock will be set at 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners — up from the 14/19 tested at Triple-A this season and 14/18 at lower minor league levels.
There will be a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance, and a balk would be called for a third or more unless there is an out. The disengagement limit, which some players predict will beneft baserunners, would be reset if a runner advances.
A catcher is required to be in the catcher's box with nine seconds left on the clock and a hitter in the batter's box and focused on the pitcher with eight seconds remaining. Penalties for violations will be a ball called against a pitcher and a strike called against a batter.
A batter can ask an umpire for time once per plate appearance, and after that it would be granted only at the umpire's discretion if the request is made while in the batter's box.
The clock, which some players suggested be altered for late and close situations, has helped reduce the average time of a nine-inning game in the minor leagues from 3 hours, 4 minutes in 2021 to 2:38 this season. The average time of a nine-inning game in the major leagues this year is 3:07, up from 2:46 in 1989 and 2:30 in the mid-1950s.
"It reminded me of the game that I grew up watching in the '70s and '80," said former outfielder Raúl Ibañez, now an MLB senior vice president.
Two infielders will be required to be on either side of second and all infielders to be within the outer boundary of the infield when the pitcher is on the rubber. Infielders may not switch sides unless there is a substitution, but five-man infields will still be allowed, MLB executive vice president Morgan Sword said.
Shifts have soared from 2,357 times on balls hit in play in 2011 to 28,130 in 2016 and 59,063 last year, according to Sports Info Solutions. Shifts are on pace for 68,000 this season.
"I think fans will cherish the moments absent the extreme defensive shifts when games are decided not by whether their team's infield is positioned by the perfect algorithm, but by whether their team's second baseman can range to make an athletic dive playing with everything on the line," Epstein said.
MLB's season batting average has dropped from .267 in 1997 to .243 this year, with a team's average runs declining from 4.77 to 4.33.
"The game has evolved in a way that nobody would have chosen if we were sitting down 25 years ago to chart a path towards the best version of baseball," Epstein said. "Nobody would have asked for fans to have to wait more than four minutes for balls to be put into play. Nobody would have asked for generational lows and stolen bases, triples and doubles."
Base size will increase to 18-inch squares from 15 — first basemen are less likely to get stepped on.
In addition, each team will be allowed a sixth mound visit in the ninth inning next year, if it has used five during the first eight innings.
Until last winter, MLB needed one year advance notice to amend on-field rules without union approval but the March lockout settlement established the committee. Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty, Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow, Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Whit Merrifield and Giants outfielder Austin Slater represented players Friday, a group that included Cubs infielder Ian Happ as an alternate.
"It's going to be hard on guys. ... It's a shame that that we weren't taken more seriously," Merrifield said. "It's an overcorrect and they're going to have to tweak it. And that's just what we were trying to avoid."
Seattle chairman John Stanton headed the committee, which included include St. Louis CEO Bill DeWitt Jr., San Francisco chairman Greg Johnson, Colorado CEO Dick Monfort, Toronto CEO Mark Shapiro and Boston chairman Tom Werner, along with umpire Bill Miller.
"It's hard to get consensus among the group of players on changing the game," Manfred said. "I think at the end of the day what we did here was about giving fans the kind of game they want to see."

Trump Mourns Death of Queen Elizabeth with Stirring Message
Former President Donald Trump released a statement via Truth Social after news broke that the monarch of the United Kingdom for over 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II, died at her Balmoral Estate in Scotland.
Trump wrote, “Melania and I are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Together with our family and fellow Americans, we send our sincere condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom during this time of great sorrow and grief.”
“Queen Elizabeth’s historic and remarkable reign left a tremendous legacy of peace and prosperity for Great Britain. Her leadership and enduring diplomacy secured and advanced alliances with the United States and countries around the world,” he added.
“However, she will always be remembered for her faithfulness to her country and her unwavering devotion to her fellow countrymen and women.”
“Melania and I will always cherish our time together with the Queen, and never forget Her Majesty’s generous friendship, great wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor.”
“What a grand and beautiful lady she was — there was nobody like her!” The former president continued.
“Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the great people of the United Kingdom as you honor her most meaningful life and exceptional service to the people.”
“May God bless the Queen, may she reign forever in our hearts, and may God hold her and Prince Philip in abiding care,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s statement followed less than an hour after the statement was released.
The Queen and President Trump met in 2019 during a three-day diplomatic visit to London that saw the Queen reflect on her previous visits with American leaders and offer a toast to the then-President.
According to Business Insider, Trump told Laura Ingraham in a 2019 interview that he and the queen had “automatic chemistry.”
Trump explained, “The meeting with the Queen was incredible. I think I can say I really got to know her because I sat with her many times and we had automatic chemistry, you will understand that feeling. It’s a good feeling. But she’s a spectacular woman.”
He followed his initial statement on Truth Social with an affirmation to the newly named King Charles III and wrote, “King Charles III, who I have gotten to know well, will be a Great and Wonderful King.”
“He dearly loves the United Kingdom and all that it represents to the World. He will prove to be an inspiration to everyone. Queen Elizabeth has been, and will be from above, very proud of King Charles III,” Trump added.

F1 to hold minute’s silence for Queen before Monza FP1
Formula 1’s teams and drivers are to hold a minute’s silence in the Monza pitlane before first free practice at the Italian Grand Prix in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II.
The death of the Queen aged 96 on Thursday has prompted a flood of tributes from the world of motor racing and Formula 1.
As a mark of respect for Britain’s longest serving monarch, F1 teams, drivers and officials will gather in the pitlane at Monza ten minutes before opening practice is scheduled to start at 2pm to pay their respects.
There are also plans to hold a similar tribute on the grid ahead of the start of the F1 race on Sunday, but the details of this have not yet been finalised.
Key figures from F1 expressed their condolences to the Royal Family over the Queen's death, as they praised the impact she had on them and the wider world.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said: “Formula 1 mourns the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. For more than seven decades she dedicated her life to public service with dignity and devotion and inspired so many around the world.
“Formula 1 sends its deepest condolences to the Royal Family and to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.”
George Russell said: “I’m so sad to hear about the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her devotion to our country and her gracious leadership were inspirational to so many generations of people in the UK and around the world.
“My family and I send our deepest condolences to The Royal Family and to all those who admired her services to our country for seven decades.”
The McLaren F1 team changed its social media handles to black as a mark of respect, and it remembered the influence the Queen had. It also posted an image of the day that she opened the team’s current McLaren Technology Centre factory.
Ferrari hailed her as ‘groundbreaking’ as it offered its sympathies to the Royal family and the British members of the paddock.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem issued a statement making clear how influential the Queen and Royal Family had been in helping support the growth of motorsport.
“It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,” he said.
“The Queen was undoubtedly one of the most respected heads of state ever to have lived, and I send my condolences, and those of the entire FIA community, to the Royal Family and all of the citizens of The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
“Motor sport, and especially Formula 1, has its heart in the United Kingdom, and the Royal Family has over the years given great support and patronage to the sport. For this we thank them, and those events taking place around the world this weekend will undoubtedly be undertaken in honour of her Majesty."

There is new information circulating on social media about a possible Emergency Aid for the year 2022. In the “benefit” message, there is information about a huge amount that can be withdrawn immediately. So it’s a hit. The new attempt at fraud is not part of any of the benefits provided by the Federal Government.
Criminals are taking advantage of the period of extreme financial fragility for many Brazilians. Thus, the aim is to steal the personal data of these people. The Ministry of Citizenship has already warned about false information on payments. In addition, the orientation is for the entire population to keep up to date with official government news.
New Fake Emergency Aid
First of all, it should be mentioned that the Federal Government is not paying any aid under that name. The old and true Emergency Aid, which took place during the pandemic period, in the years 2020 and 2021, has already been closed. Currently, what is in effect is Auxílio Brasil. However, its installments are limited to R$600.00, depending on the disposition of the GF.
So, therefore, the new scam consists of stealing victims’ data, promising a benefit in the amount of R$2,500. Scammers get in touch via cell phone calls, email or messages on apps such as WhatsApp. The promise is that the money is now available for withdrawal. So, although it seems quite real, it is a huge fraud.
The criminals send links, for victims to click. In the message, they claim that to receive, just go to the informed website and provide your Pix key. Several people have already fallen for the coup. In addition, the objective is precisely to clone personal data, to harm the user as much as possible. In many cases, criminals use victims’ personal data to carry out other scams.

Learn how not to be a victim
Firstly, the Ministry of Citizenship has already informed that no payment of the various Government benefits will be made through the transaction by Pix. The amounts are arranged in the personal account of individuals, through Caixa Social Savings, through the Caixa Tem app (bityli.com/SVbrUS). Thus, to receive any type of payment, it is necessary to enter your personal data, such as username and password.
In addition, the Ministry also stated that it will never contact its beneficiaries through emails or messages in apps. Therefore, the guideline is to never click links and messages from unknown people. It is still necessary to say that to know about the veracity of a benefit, it is necessary to consult the official websites of the Government.
To resolve doubts regarding benefits, payments and installments, it is possible to access the GOV platform (www.gov.br). In addition, in case of suspicion, it is possible to carry out an internet search on the subject. If it is true, you will usually have access to the information disclosed so far within moments. Finally, always ask for help from someone you trust, in case you don’t know how to use online applications.

The breakup of Buffalo Springfield in 1968 marked the birth of a new wave of countercultural music icons: Crosby, Stills, & Nash and Neil Young. Nearly 20 years later, the original members of Buffalo Springfield – comprised of Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin and Stephen Stills and Richie Furay – reunited to rehearse for a 20th-anniversary tour. It’s thought that the band initially wanted the rehearsals to remain a secret, but it was eventually decided that the meeting should be videotaped for posterity. Considering the tour didn’t come to fruition until 2011, nearly 30 years later, it’s just as well.
The footage was posted on the Neil Young News Reddit thread by the original cameraman, who had just finished another shoot when he received a phone call from Bruce Palmer informing him that Neil Young and Richie Furay were in town to rehearse with Buffalo Springfield. In any other context, a request to be ready at Stephen Stills’ house with a camera and lights in just half an hour would have been met with a stern ‘no’, but as luck would have it, the cameraman was only 15 minutes away from the property. Recalling the shoot, the Reddit user wrote: “I just happened to be the right person, with the right camera, with the right contacts at the right position in spacetime to record the practice, otherwise we wouldn’t have anything to look at right now.”
The rehearsals were taken as evidence that the band was planning on moving forward with their reunion tour. However, it wasn’t long before another project had taken precedence. In the post, Reddit user thrasher recalls: “A couple of weeks later, in wee hours of the morning, I was listening to Stephen laying down some bass tracks in his studio when David Crosby, (who had just gotten out of a Texas jail the day before) made a surprise visit and came through the door with guitar case in hand. I remember the moment as if were yesterday: David: ‘Hey, Stephen. Do you want to hear some open chords that I’ve been working on in my cell?’ Stephen: ‘Uhh…well, hell yeah!’ They played together for about an hour and a day or two later Graham Nash showed up. Stephen’s priorities shifted to reuniting with CS&N, in large part, to help out an old friend who was down and out at the time.”
Almost as quickly as Buffalo Springfield came together, they split off into various factions. A couple of months down after the original rehearsal, Crosby, Stills & Nash were on a tour of their own, and Neil Young was embarking with his Live In A Rusted Out Garage and Crazy Horse tours.
Meanwhile, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin were ploughing through their shows with Buffalo Springfield Revisited. It wouldn’t be until 30 years later that Buffalo Springfield would reunite in full for their 2011 tour.

Via Renewables, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIA) has been on a bearish trend since the start of 2022, and there does not seem to be any indication from its financials that this situation is about to change anytime soon. It has lost 28% in its stock value since March 2022, from $11.19 per share to $8.02 per share.
The company's cash flows provide a bleak outlook regarding its growth capabilities since it pays off most of its profits in dividends, leaving very little to invest in the company's future.
In line with my view of a continued bearish future, the total returns have fallen by 25.71% YTD and shown high volatility. Total Returns have exhibited minor signs of recovery in the current year, but the drastic drop in its residential customer equivalent (RCE) units gives us little hope for any significant augmentation in its valuation in the near future.
The total revenues in the TTM have shown some improvement compared to the previous 2 years, where COVID-19, its related restrictions, and other pandemic-related hindrances were assigned blame for its lackluster growth, but the revenues have been declining since before that. This turbulence offers little hope to potential investors looking for a stable investment.
The annual report for 2021 also does not depict a positive outlook for the company's future growth, portraying a decrease since 2018 in RCEs, which is a measure of their number of customers. These numbers have been on a steady decline, and the company blames this attrition in recent times on the COVID-19 pandemic and its inability to market door to door or through telemarketing due to orders by regulatory agencies and government authorities. The company has lost more than half, or over 55% RCEs since 2018.
On top of this, the company management team cannot be considered the most experienced, with an average tenure of 1.7 years, suggesting a relatively new team is in charge.
I am bearish on Via Renewables stock as the company does not show any promise of a turnaround anytime soon, especially considering the decreasing RCEs and the management's inability to recoup them. The non-existent growth and incoherent financials further solidify my view of their declining fortunes.
Via Renewables, Inc., formerly Spark Energy, Inc., is an independent, small-cap, retail energy services company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Houston, Texas.
It operates in 102 utility service territories across 19 states and the District of Columbia, serving both residential and commercial customers. They operate on an asset-light model to source power and gas, allowing them to become a competitive alternative for their customers to fulfill electricity and natural gas demand.
It operates in two segments; Retail Electricity and Retail Natural Gas. The electricity segment is involved in the transmission and sale of electricity, while the natural gas segment deals in the transportation, distribution, and sale of natural gas.
They had approximately 408,000 RCEs as of June. A major chunk of the revenue generation comes from the electricity segment, 81%, while the other 19% is accredited to the natural gas segment for the previous year.
They purchase electricity and natural gas supply through physical and financial transactions with market counterparts and ISOs and supply electricity and natural gas to residential and commercial consumers in accordance with fixed-price and variable-price contracts.
Via Renewables reported a dividend yield of 9.76% in the MRQ, which is the saving grace of this company from an investor's point of view. The company had a 4-year average dividend yield of 7.89%, considerably higher than its larger competitors like MGE Energy (MGEE), which trails at around 2%.
They have, in the TTM, had a dividend payout ratio of 89.17%, which means they are paying out the majority of their earnings, which is great for those currently invested in the company but is in no way desirable for a potential investor as, ideally, a relatively lower paying out stock should be targeted in this sector.
The dividend does not seem any better now than it was three years ago, with no growth, largely due to stagnant revenues, which saw a small bump in the MRQ because of a non-sustainable one-off gain impacting its June 2022 financial results.
A closer look at the company financials reveals a downturn in Adjusted EBITDA from the previous year, with the company attributing this to operational losses pertaining to the pandemic.
This fact is highlighted further when looking at the company's cash flow by operating activity, which took a drastic hit from 2020 to 2021, with a reduction of $79 million or 86%. As per their annual reports, this decrease was primarily attributable to the non-recurring Winter Storm Uri-related costs of $64.4 million and other changes in working capital.
Winter Storm Uri caused major blackouts in the United States, leaving millions of people without power for days and accumulating millions of dollars' worth of damage to the infrastructure, which massively impacted the utility sector.
Cash flows in financial activities saw a drop of $73.1 million between 2020 and 2021, which was due to an increase in net borrowing of $58 million under their Senior Credit Facility and a decrease of $12 million in distributions to non-controlling unitholders.
The company's cash flows have been highly volatile since the pandemic, and there is no indication of stability, especially with the cyclical shifts and the recession around the corner.
The company had quarterly revenues of well over $ 200 million in the pre-pandemic years but has failed to reach those heights even with the high demand and inflated prices. Looking at these numbers, there's a good chance that existing shareholders are setting themselves up for disappointment by putting their faith in the future of this company. Potential investors looking for a stable investment should be cautious.
The company was not dealt the most favorable hand in terms of macroeconomic factors, which devastatingly affected its operations and incurred heavy operational losses.
Even though VIA have been paying out high dividend yields, these are not well covered by their cash flows, making their dependability and reliability in both the short and long term very questionable, depicting a grim outlook for potential investors.
All these factors forecast a bleak future for the company, and investors of both short and long-term inclinations should be wary of gambling away their investment funds.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not leave the UK until the Queen's funeral has taken place, it has been claimed.
The monarch suddenly passed away on Thursday, while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in the country as part of a mini Euro tour.
Harry, 37, rushed to Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire where Elizabeth II died surrounded by her family. He was due to speak at the WellChild awards in London on the same day but pulled out.
Meghan, 41, remained in the English capital, similarly to Kate who stayed at home while Prince William travelled up north, the Mirror reports.
The Sussexes touched down in Britain last Saturday and have appeared at events in Manchester and in Dusseldorf, Germany, and were thought to be planning to jet back home to California, US, imminently.
But are now understood to be staying until at least Monday, September 19 when the state funeral is expected at Westminster Abbey.
They are also said to have discussed whether their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, will be making the trip over, reports HELLO.
The magazine's royal editor Emily Nash said: "We understand that Harry and Meghan will be staying in the UK until after the funeral.
"It's fair to say that they obviously want to be present for the Queen and pay tribute to her."
Ms Nash went on to say Balmoral itself holds further significance for William and Harry because they were staying there when they learned of their mum Diana's death in 1997.
She added: "One of the most painful times in their lives happened while they were on holiday at Balmoral and that won't have been lost on them when they travelled back there to be there at the Queen's bedside.
"It must have been incredibly sad for everyone involved, but it was the place she loved, the place which her grandchildren said was one of the most beautiful in the world and I'm sure they'll take comfort in knowing that she was in such beautiful surroundings."
Harry is said to have received news his grandmother had died while he was still in the air, flying to the Highlands from Windsor.
He was then seen leaving Balmoral in a Range Rover shortly after 8am on Friday.
The duke had always shared a strong bond with the Queen, as he did with Prince Philip who died in April 2021.
Despite stepping down as a working royal, alongside Meghan, in March 2020 and moving to Montecito in Santa Barbara, he had jetted back for his grandfather's funeral.
It came in the wake of an interview the couple did with Oprah Winfrey in which the duchess made damaging allegations about the Firm.
Further TV and print interviews from the US, including one earlier this month in The Cut, appear to have further distanced the Sussexes from the rest of the family.
It is understood Harry and Meghan have not spoken to Prince William and Kate, now the Prince and Princess of Wales, despite staying less than a mile from them on the Windsor estate.

KILGORE – Da’Marion VanZandt threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in leading the Kilgore Bulldogs to a 20-14 non-district win over Pine Tree on Friday night at partially refurbished R.E. St. John Memorial Stadium.
With the win, Kilgore (1-2) avoids an 0-3 start for the first time since 2018 when they lost to Nacogdoches, Hallsville and Pine Tree. The Pirates despite scoring on the final play of the contest on a 47-yard Matt Cates completion to Jonathon Fuller drop to 0-3.
The victory also avenges coach Clint Fuller’s first loss at KHS, which came against Pine Tree a year ago.
VanZandt’s scoring strikes covered nine-yards to PJ Wiley and 18-yards to Matthew Tyeskie. In between, the senior quarterback scored on a one-yard run.
They even overcame the lights going out momentarily, but all was good in the end. The lights at the stadium went out with 22.6 seconds left to play and were off about five minutes. When play resumed, the Bucs struck for their second Cates-to-Fuller touchdown of the evening.
The first of those came with Pine Tree trailing 14-0 with 10:53 remaining in the third quarter and capped a three-play, 75-yard drive which the Pirates navigated with a four-yard run by Jalynn Robinson and the72-yard completion for points from Cates to Fuller, cutting the deficit on the scoreboard to 14-7 after Aaron Bocanegra’s PAT.
Although, Isaiah Ross didn’t score a touchdown against Pine Tree, he enjoyed his best game of the season, rushing for 196 yards on 22 carries.
Kilgore finished with 387 yards gained. VanZandt was 10-of-18 passing for 158 yards. The ‘Dogs finished with 229 rushing yards on 31 carries.
Meanwhile, Cates for the Pirates was 12-of-23 for 180 yards. Fuller led the receiving corps with three catches for 109 yards. Pine Tree rushed for 141 yards on 16 carries with Robinson leading the ground game with 128 yards on eight attempts.
PJ Wiley led the Bulldogs’ receivers with four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Dadrian Franklin (2-57), Tyeskie (2-30, 1 TD) and Taylor Oliver (1-5) also contributed.
The Ragin’ Red overcame a holding penalty that nullified a first-quarter touchdown to score twice in the second period for a 14-0 lead against the Pirates at the half.
The ‘Dogs overcame the holding penalty to march 75 yards in 10 plays and wouldn’t be denied this time as Van Zandt and Wiley teamed up for the score on a nine-yard completion.
The second Kilgore scoring drive was even more impressive 98 yards on eight plays with Van Zandt capping the march with a one-yard sneak coming with 5:03 left in the second period.
It was the Bulldogs’ most impressive drive of the season and marked their second trip into the red zone, coming away with touchdowns.
The Kilgore defense got to Cates several times during the contest with Demontrell Candie and Jackson Harris combining for one and Harris getting another by himself. Tyeskie had an interception and Matthew Hardy had a touchdown saving tackle on a 48-yard run by Jalynn Robinson.
Kilgore came into the 2022 contest with a 35-11-1 advantage in the series against the Pirates, after Pine Tree dealt the Bulldogs their first loss 42-27 of the Clint Fuller Era a year ago. Despite the decisive edge, the teams have split the last two meetings with Kilgore hanging on to beat the Bucs 64-62 in 3 OTs in the 2019 game also played in Kilgore.
Next week, Kilgore closes the non-district portion of its schedule with homecoming against the Hallsville Bobcats, while Pine Tree returns home to entertain its third 9-4A DI opponent in a row, Jacksonville.

Julie Holland and Molly Magner on their scouting adventure in Portugal
Julie Holland (20) and Molly Magner (19), members of Clonmel Scouts, recently completed a Scout Explorer Belt Challenge over 14 days in Portugal.
The pair were one of eight teams who took part in a Scouting Ireland Explorer Belt.
This is an annual event, where participants must undertake an international expedition that brings a real understanding of a different country, its people and way of life by travelling through that country, working as a team and by meeting local people to complete a series of projects.
Portugal was selected as the venue for the 2022 explorer belt and the teams, all within the 18 to 26 years Rover age group, travelled by air from Dublin to Lisbon, accompanied by a support team.
At Lisbon airport each team was given details of their explorer challenge. These consisted of a pack containing their start and common end point (which was at base camp) along with the project briefs and journey budget.
Molly and Julie were faced with the immediate challenge of travelling to this random location by public transport only and within a limited budget.
They then had to plan a route of a minimum of 200 km in length over ten days to get to this end destination.
As well as this, Julie and Molly had to undertake ten assigned projects as they made their way through the Portuguese countryside, towns and cities. These topics included Portuguese history, religion, politics and culture.
Having completed their journey (in fact they completed 207 km), Molly and Julie checked in at base camp, which was located at Salir de Porto, which is 105 km north of Lisbon.
They then spent the following four days recovering and being assessed, to see if they met the required criteria for the award through interviews and logbook inspection.
Finally, on Friday, July 8, the pair were awarded the Scouting Explorer Belt, one of the highest awards available to youth scouters internationally.
The duo would like to thank everyone who supported them and made their journey and success possible, most notably their leader Owen Leggs Lanigan.

Queen Elizabeth II’s long life and reign has come to an end. While the UK mourns its late monarch’s death, it is necessary to note that she was not just the Queen of the United Kingdom, but also of 14 other countries, including Canada and others in Asia and the Caribbean. These are referred to as the Commonwealth realms and are distinct from the Commonwealth of Nations, a loose confederation of 54 former British Empire countries, the majority of which are no longer subjects of the monarchy.
Now, as Charles III ascends the throne, things may begin to change. Countries under the Commonwealth realm house complicated emotions towards the British monarchy, despite holding respect for its representational figures. The debate has already ignited, and in an era defined by the anti-racist movement of ‘Black Lives Matter’ (that started in the US and gained worldwide support), the colonial ‘London bridge’ may also soon ‘fall down’.
News18 explains the complicated past and debate in these countries, and what may happen:
Australian Lawmaker Calls It ‘Time to Move Forward’, Canada Ambivalent
Adam Bandt, the leader of Australia’s Greens party, sparked outrage on Friday by declaring that “now Australia must move forward," with many calling his timing “graceless." However, according to a report by AFP, A sizable proportion of the population supports Australia’s declaration of independence. A June survey by a company Essential found that 44 per cent of Australians supported the country becoming a republic.
The emotion is apparently similar in Canada, where according to a poll conducted in April this year by the non-profit and non-partisan Angus Reid Institute, 51 per cent of Canadians who oppose having the British Monarch as the head of their state “for generations to come," whereas 26% who support the move. According to the poll, 67% of Canadians oppose Charles as Canada’s King and official head of state, said a report by Forbes.
And according to a report by AFP, while Canadians were devoted to Queen Elizabeth II until the end, their relationship with the monarchy had become increasingly strained, and her death on Thursday is expected to reignite debate about the monarchy’s future. “Canada is a monarchist outlier in the middle of a rather republican continent," Marc Chevrier, a professor of politics at the University of Quebec in Montreal told the publication.
“The debates will resurface, Pandora’s box will open," he said, “after a few weeks of mourning".
While the country is going ahead with a proper ceremonial mourning, the country has been ‘increasingly ambivalent’ towards displaying pomp for the monarchy. “Even in English-speaking Canada, support for the monarchy has diminished over the years," Philippe Lagasse, a professor at Carleton University in Ottawa and expert on the role of the monarchy in Canada told AFP.
Barbados Recently Left the Realm, Could Canada Follow?
Barbados, in the Caribbean, became the most recent country to dethrone the British monarch and establish a republic last year. The then-Prince Charles attended the transition ceremony, where he spoke about the “appalling atrocity of slavery" that the Caribbean island faced under British rule, the report by Forbes said.
But to follow in the footsteps of Barbados, Canada would need to implement major institutional and constitutional reforms. “The monarchy is the keystone of all constitutional law," Chevrier told AFP, calling it ‘a founding principle at the birth of Canada in 1867’. He pointed out, for example, that “the office of prime minister does not even appear in the Canadian constitution, which only mentions the monarch."
Amending the constitution and abolishing the monarchy would necessitate a massive effort and potentially years of political wrangling, as it would necessitate the unanimous approval of both Parliament and the governments of all ten Canadian provinces.
In a politically divided Canada, such a debate would almost certainly be heated. Then, according to Lagasse, all royal symbolism could be targeted in order to further sever ties with the British monarchy. The image of Queen Elizabeth can be found on Canadian coins and $20 bills, for example. Certain protocols, particularly the oath of citizenship, would also have to change. New Canadian citizens must pledge “allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, and to her heirs and successors." A trio of immigrants unsuccessfully challenged the oath in court in 2014, claiming it violated their religious and conscientious beliefs.
Things Stirred Up in Other Countries
Even New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who described the late monarch as “extraordinary," has previously stated that her country will become a republic within her lifetime. In the Caribbean, where British rule is linked to a history of slavery, and Prince William and his wife Kate were met with protests and calls for an apology and slavery reparations during a recent visit, the report by Forbes said.
And Jamaica, the Commonwealth realm’s most populous Caribbean nation, began the process of transitioning into a republic in June and is expected to remove the British monarch as its head of state before the next general election in 2025.
Could Charles Abdicate to Keep Things in Order?
Despite political experts saying that Charles would have to be neutral to keep his country and realm together, neutrality could prove difficult in Scotland, where nationalists are pushing for another referendum on independence to break up the United Kingdom, while saying they would keep the monarchy.
Opinion polling by YouGov shows the prospect of Charles as monarch divides British public opinion almost equally. In 2022, just under a third of respondents said he would not make a good king, while almost exactly the same proportion said he would.
By contrast, over 80 percent say the queen has done a fairly good or very good job. Support for a republic has stood at a meagre 15 percent in the past two years.
But the pressure group Republic began a billboard campaign in mid-2021 calling for the abolition of the monarchy.
Chief executive Graham Smith predicted Charles’s accession would be “a major turning point", with Barbados already ditching the UK monarchy in November 2021 and Australia now under a pro-republic government. “He’s not protected by the almost impenetrable shield of deference that surrounds the queen," Smith said.
One recurrent call heard from some of the public is for Charles to abdicate in favour of his 40-year-old son William. Hazell said while Elizabeth II would never have abandoned her pledge of lifetime service, Charles could “conceivably" do so.
There is precedent in Europe: Belgium’s king Albert stood down in 2013, at 79, in favour of his son, as did Juan Carlos I of Spain, the following year.

Chief Prosecutor in the Pentagon Papers Trial Publishes Memoir of this famous case
September 10, 2022 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Perversion of the Pentagon Papers Trial, a new book by David R. Nissen, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.For the first time, former federal prosecutor, David Nissen, reveals the true story behind the Pentagon Paper Trial. A United States District Court judge, obsessed with obtaining higher public office was assigned to preside over the criminal trial. The judge was convinced that any conviction of the defendants would be overturned on appeal and would leave a mark on his record that could disqualify him for a higher position. To avoid this, he decided to prevent the jury from returning a guilty verdict and disclosed his plan to some of his confidants.
Perversion of the Pentagon Papers Trial recounts the political backdrop against which the original crimes were committed then takes readers into the courtroom for a virtual front row seat throughout the trial. It chronicles the judge's capitulation to the defendants' demands, discloses the fictitious defenses he fabricated and his collaboration with the defense to place the government on trial by groundless "investigations." By bringing the facts to light, Nissen reveals the court's sabotage of the trial and exposes the injustice done in this notable court case.
About the Author
David R. Nissen received his BA from Wheaton College, MS from the University of Illinois and JD from the University of Illinois College of Law, where he graduated with highest honors. He was elected to membership in the Order of the Coif, and elected associate editor of the Illinois Law Forum, and treasurer of the school's student body, and was a finalist in the law school's moot court competition argued before the Illinois Supreme Court.
Nissen served in the US Army as a counterintelligence agent at the end of the Korean War. He went on to serve as Assistant US Attorney in Los Angeles, where he became Chief of the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, and subsequently Chief of the Criminal Division. In 1971, Nissen was appointed chief prosecutor in the Pentagon Papers criminal case, and after, returned to private law practice until his retirement. David was married to Celia, his wife, for sixty-six years, and together they had three children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Until his passing in December 2020, he was a self-described mediocre but avid tennis player.

Canada sheds jobs for third month, unemployment rate jumps to 5.4%
Bloomberg News
,Canada sheds jobs for third month, unemployment rate jumps to 5.4%
Canadian employment levels unexpectedly fell for a third straight month in August and the jobless rate jumped, a potential signal interest-rate hikes have started to cool the tight labour market.
The economy shed 39,700 jobs last month, Statistics Canada reported on Friday in Ottawa, a surprise negative reading compared to the 15,000 gain anticipated by economists in a Bloomberg survey.
The jobless rate rose to 5.4 per cent from record lows of 4.9 per cent in June and July due to the biggest increase in the number of unemployed since strict COVID measures were imposed in January.
The decrease in employment and higher jobless rate may be evidence the country’s labour force is re-balancing as the Bank of Canada’s aggressive rate hikes start to cool economic growth and slow demand. The additional job searchers may likewise ease wage growth as the labour supply expands.
The Canadian dollar’s gain weakened slightly after the news, trading up 0.5 per cent to US$1.303 at 8:40 a.m. in Toronto after earlier climbing as much as 0.8 per cent. Yields on Canadian 10-year bonds extended declines, falling 9.6 basis points to 3.1 per cent.
“The weak headline figures may have the Bank of Canada questioning its apparent commitment to even higher interest rates,” Andrew Grantham, an economist at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, said in a report to investors. But “with one more labour force survey before the bank’s October meeting, it still seems likely that at least one more rate hike will be in store before a pause is seen.”
August’s employment drop brought cumulative declines since May to 114,000, suggesting that hiring activities may be moderating. The data, however, continue to show signs of extreme tightness in the labour market, even with three months of job losses.
The average hourly wage rate was up 5.4 per cent from a year ago, compared with 5.2 per cent in both June and July. That’s the fastest increase in records dating to 1997, outside of the pandemic.
Hours worked were unchanged in August, following a decline of 0.5 per cent in July.
Labour force participation rates rose 0.1 percentage points to 64.8 per cent, while the number of Canadians in the labour force grew by 66,000 in August.
Employment declines were driven by educational services and the construction sectors. The public sector shed 27,600 positions, the bulk of August’s job losses.
The “decline in construction jobs (a sector previously booming) shows that interest rate hikes are having a impact on the labour market,” Grantham said.
Regionally, employment fell most in British Columbia, Manitoba and Nova Scotia, while it increased in Quebec. Other provinces, including Ontario, saw little change.

Today in History
Today is Saturday, Sept. 10, the 253rd day of 2022. There are 112 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Sept. 10, 1813, an American naval force commanded by Oliver H. Perry defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. (Afterward, Perry sent the message, “We have met the enemy and they are ours.”)
On this date:
In 1608, John Smith was elected president of the Jamestown colony council in Virginia.
In 1846, Elias Howe received a patent for his sewing machine.
In 1960, Hurricane Donna, a dangerous Category 4 storm eventually blamed for 364 deaths, struck the Florida Keys.
In 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the University of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, a Black student.
In 1963, 20 Black students entered Alabama public schools following a standoff between federal authorities and Gov. George C. Wallace.
In 1979, four Puerto Rican nationalists imprisoned for a 1954 attack on the U.S. House of Representatives and a 1950 attempt on the life of President Harry S. Truman were freed from prison after being granted clemency by President Jimmy Carter.
In 1987, Pope John Paul II arrived in Miami, where he was welcomed by President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan as he began a 10-day tour of the United States.
In 1991, the Senate Judiciary Committee opened hearings on the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1998, President Clinton met with members of his Cabinet to apologize, ask forgiveness and promise to improve as a person in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
In 2005, Cadaver dogs and boatloads of forensic workers fanned out across New Orleans to collect the corpses left behind by Hurricane Katrina; cleanup crews towed away abandoned cars and even began readying a hotel for reopening.
In 2015, New York State approved gradually raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $15 an hour — the first time any state had set the minimum that high.
In 2016, John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, was released from a Washington mental hospital for good. (Hinckley would be freed from all court oversight in June 2022.)
Ten years ago: An airstrike killed al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader in Yemen along with six others traveling with him in a breakthrough for U.S.-backed efforts to cripple the terror network’s operations in the impoverished Arab nation. Chicago teachers began a seven-day strike, idling nearly 400,000 students in the nation’s third-largest school district. Andy Murray became the first British man since 1936 to capture a Grand Slam title, beating defending champion Novak Djokovic (NOH’-vak JOH’-kuh-vich), 7-6 (10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 to win the U.S. Open in five grueling sets.
Five years ago: After cutting a trail of destruction across the Caribbean, Hurricane Irma blew ashore on the Florida Keys as a Category 4 storm with winds of 130 mph; it would destroy 1,200 homes and damage 3,000 others in the Keys. As Irma headed toward Georgia, Atlanta was under a tropical storm warning for the first time. As he flew home from Colombia, Pope Francis called on President Donald Trump to rethink his decision ending a program protecting young immigrants from deportation; he said anyone who considers himself “pro-life” should keep families together. Miss North Dakota, Cara Mund, was crowned Miss America in Atlantic City, N.J., after saying in an onstage interview that President Donald Trump was wrong to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord.
One year ago: Republican leaders threatened responses ranging from lawsuits to civil disobedience after President Joe Biden’s aggressive push to require millions of American workers to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. New U.S. studies showed that COVID-19 vaccines remained highly effective against hospitalizations and death, even when dealing with the extra-contagious delta variant. A judge ruled that a 19-year-old Wisconsin woman who admitted to helping stab a classmate when she was 12 years old to please online horror character Slender Man could be freed from a mental health institution where she had spent nearly four years.

For the first time in a televised ceremony, King Charles III was on Saturday officially proclaimed the new British monarch following the demise of his 96-year-old mother, Queen Elizabeth II who reigned for 70 years on the throne.
Charles, the Queen’s first born, became king immediately after her death on Thursday, but a historic meeting formally confirmed his role on Saturday during the ceremony at St James’s Palace, says the BBC.
The Accession Council, a body made up of senior politicians, judges and officials, proclaimed him as the monarch in the State Apartments.
Following the proclamation, the King formally announced the death of his “beloved mother, the Queen”.
“The whole world sympathises with me in the irreparable loss we’ve all suffered,” he said.
“My mother gave an example of lifelong love and of selfless service. My mother’s reign was unequalled in its duration, dedication and devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life.
“I am deeply aware of this deep inheritance and of the grave duties and responsibilities which are now passed to me,” the BBC quoted Charles as saying.
He then went on to thank Queen Consort Camilla, saying: “I am profoundly encouraged by the constant support of my beloved wife.”
Also in attendance at the ceremony were Prime Minister Liz Truss, and former premiers Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Boris Johnson and Theresa May, as well as Archbishop Justin Welby and Prince William.
Before Charles was named the King, the death of the Queen was formally announced.
The 200 or so people gathered in the room all then said ‘God save the King’ before documents were signed.
Flags that were lowered in mourning for the late Queen will fly full-mast for a short time.
A wave of further proclamations will take place across the UK until Sunday.

Apple has released the most significant new product in the Apple Watch line, arguably since its earliest days. It’s the Apple Watch Ultra, a tough and longer-lasting smartwatch made for adventuring types who need something a bit more rugged.
It takes aim at the audience who until now may not have been able to justify an Apple Watch over the best Garmin watch. Those are often the first choice for serious runners, hikers, and folks who want to track more niche pursuits than just running, walking, and cycling.
Does the Apple Watch Ultra actually match the best of Garmin? We are going to compare the Ultra to the Garmin Fenix 7. It’s not the priciest watch Garmin makes, but it is the high-end model we tend to recommend most often to folks. And at $699 for the standard edition and $799 for the Fenix 7 Solar, it’s fairly close to the $799 Apple Watch Ultra.
We'll compare their design, GPS tracking accuracy, battery life, smart features, and value for money in order to see how the Ultra stacks up against one of the best adventure watches around.
Apple Watch Ultra vs Garmin Fenix 7: Design
These two watches are of a similar size. The Watch Ultra is 0.1mm thinner, and their shapes are a little different. Garmin’s Fenix 7 is round, and has a diameter of 47mm. The Apple Watch Ultra is more of a rectangle, 49mm tall and 44mm wide.
One dimension counters the other, making them roughly comparable. The Apple Watch is significantly heavier, though. It weighs 61.3g without a strap. The standard stainless steel Fenix 7 weighs 56g, dropping to 50g in the titanium version.
That may be the fairest comparison, as the Watch Ultra has a titanium shell with a ceramic back. Take a closer look and the reason for the disparity becomes obvious. The Fenix 7 is only a partial metal design. Regardless of the version you get, the side walls are a plastic polymer. Rugged properties are excellent in both watches. They are each rated for 100M water resistance. But while Apple says the Watch Ultra can withstand dive depths of 40M, Garmin makes no diving claims for the Fenix 7 at all.
We don’t think the watch would suddenly fill with water at 40M. However, Garmin leaves diving properties to its Descent D1 Dive, and the super-pricey Descent MK2. Both of those are dive rated for 100M, beating the Apple Watch Ultra. Still, if you’re a diver and are only choosing between these two, the Apple Watch Ultra is the obvious pick. And not just for its depth rating. Apple’s watch has a depth gauge, a pressure sensor. The Fenix 7 does not, meaning it can’t tell how far under the surface you are.
The two watches are made for other inhospitable environments too. They are both rated for use in temperatures down to -20 degrees centigrade, while the Apple Watch Ultra has the upper hand in hot temperatures. It taps out at 55 degrees, to the Garmin’s 45 degrees.
However, we do wonder if the tech inside the Apple Watch may actually contribute to temperature build-up. It has an OLED screen able to reach an incredible 2000 nits in direct sunlight, which will cause additional heat. The Fenix 7’s MIP transflective display laps up all the sunlight it can take, with no additional power use.
Of course, in reality, the Apple Watch Ultra is likely to significantly reduce the maximum power of its display long before it reaches 55 degrees.
Apple Watch Ultra vs Garmin Fenix 7: GPS tracking
The Apple Watch Ultra introduces multi-band GPS, using the L1 and L5 bands. Garmin started using this tech in 2020 in its standalone GPS receivers and, yep, it’s available in the Fenix 7 too.
Both location systems also support the most important satellite arrays. These are GPS (US), GLONASS (Russia), GALILEO (EU), QZSS (Japan) and BeiDou (China).
Garmin doesn’t actually list most of these in the Fenix 7’s feature table, but they are accessible using the watch’s “all systems” mode. The watch even adds another array the Apple Watch Ultra doesn’t support, India’s IRNSS.
It is one of the smaller arrays, and probably shouldn’t sway your decision too much.
We haven’t tested the Apple Watch Ultra’s GPS system in action yet, but past experience suggests we’ll see a slightly different style of tracking to Garmin’s. Apple tends to snap to roads and paths more than Garmin, which leads to better-looking (if not necessarily more accurate) route maps.
Apple Watch Ultra vs Garmin Fenix 7: Battery life
The Apple Watch Ultra has double the battery life of the Apple Watch Series 8, 36 hours instead of 18. And there’s a power-saving mode coming soon that cuts back certain features to increase this to 60 hours.
Apple also says it will last up to 12 hours of outdoors GPS use, in the standard power mode.
None of this gets remotely close to the stamina of the Garmin Fenix 7. It can last up to 57 hours of GPS tracking, 18 days in its standard mode or 57 days in its battery save mode. That’s 432 hours to 36, 1368 hours to 60 using power saving modes.
These can also be topped up noticeably through sunlight in the solar-charging Fenix 7 models, if you get out in direct sunlight for several hours each day.
We do find that Garmin’s estimates can be a little more optimistic than Apple’s, which tend to be rock-solid. But, well, there’s no contest there.
There’s one thing can can truly kill a Fenix 7 battery: music playback. It’s only rated for 10 hours of GPS tracking with music. And given the Apple Watch Ultra can last for 20 hours of music, it could even outlast a Fenix 7 when playing music during tracked exercise.
This is a hint at the reason for the big stamina disparity. The Apple Watch Ultra is a real smartwatch with a fairly powerful processor. Garmin’s Fenix 7 has some smartwatch characteristics, but is fundamentally a much more focused fitness watch. It has a much lower-power display, and isn’t an “always connected” watch to the same extent as an Apple Watch.
It’s why we find Garmin watches so easy to get on with, though. You only have to charge them every now and then.
Apple Watch Ultra vs Garmin Fenix 7: Smart features
The Apple Watch Ultra has similar smarts to the Apple Watch Series 8. You get access to the best smartwatch app store of them all, you can make calls with your watch. And as all Ultra watches have 4G cellular, you don’t even need a phone nearby to do so.
Apple demonstrated the power of the Apple Watch platform at the launch itself, showing off a third-party app that turns the watch into a dive computer.
You can, of course, also talk to Siri through the watch as it has a triple microphone array and dual speakers. This setup can also be used to send messages, using your voice rather than a virtual keyboard.
The Watch Ultra also has an ECG heart health sensor and a temperature sensor, which can estimate the time of ovulation in a person’s menses cycle after the fact.
The Garmin Fenix 7’s classic smartwatch features are largely limited to receiving notifications from your phone, and downloading relatively basic apps from the Garmin Connect store.
However, the Fenix 7 does have a bunch of smart features that don’t rely on internet access. It can control Garmin Varia bike lights. You can connect to a bike turbo trainer and use the watch to control its resistance, and send custom ride data to it without the need for standalone platforms like TrainerRoad or Zwift.
A Fenix 7 lets you wirelessly connect other fitness accessories like footpods and heart rate straps over Bluetooth or ANT+. You can download massive map files that cover entire continents, and work out routes from point A to point B without needing a phone or internet connection.
These are not traditional smartwatch features, but they are pretty “smart” if you ask us.
Apple Watch Ultra vs Garmin Fenix 7: Value for money
The question of value relies a little on where you live, and whether we use the standard Fenix 7 as the baseline, or the pricier titanium version.
For example, in the UK the base Fenix 7 is a lot cheaper than the Ultra. It’s £599, to the £849 of the Apple Watch Ultra. However, in the US they seem much closer. The Fenix 7 costs $699, the Watch Ultra $799.
Upgrade to the titanium Fenix 7, which also has a Sapphire display and solar charging, and the Apple Watch Ultra is cheaper in the US. The fancy Fenix is $899/£779. In Australia, it's also much closer, at AU$1,199.00 for the Fenix 7 and AU$1,299 for the Apple Watch.
In the UK at least the Garmin Fenix 7 seems perhaps better value, but in the US the answer is much less clear. This difference is likely, in part, down to the weakening of the pound (and Euro) against the dollar throughout 2022.
If you’re a diver, though, the Apple Watch Ultra is clearly the better buy. It’s also cheaper than Garmin’s high-end Descent Mk2 watches — although Garmin still has the edge at the very top end. The Descent MK2i has air integration and SubWave Sonar, which may be essential if you want a pro-grade dive watch. This is potentially life-saving stuff, as it lets you see the air level of other divers in your group.
Early Verdict
The Apple Watch Ultra is an interesting watch with some impressive characteristics. Apple hasn’t simply amped up the display and battery life. It also added dive-ready water resistance and a depth sensor, making it a viable tracker for hobbyist scuba divers.
Under the water, it is more capable than the Garmin Fenix 7. Out of the water, the Fenix may hold up better for many people thanks to its ultra-long battery life, and that bright outdoors conditions aren’t going to impact battery life, unlike the Watch Ultra’s 2000-nit OLED display.
Apple has successfully chipped away at the argument serious oudoorsy types need a Garmin rather than an Apple Watch. However, we can’t help but feel, to use Apple’s own use case example, that if you’re a dive leader rather than someone who does it as a hobby, you’d probably still prefer a pro-level device like the Garmin Descent MK2i.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II: Former teacher remembers taking school children to see the Queen at Peterborough Cathedral – and emergency phone call to save school dinners
“This is the end of an era. Whatever one’s views we have grown up with Queen Elizabeth II and her life has been parallel to the lives of our own parents. Her passing is truly the end of that generation.”
A former Peterborough school teacher has remembered taking school children to see the Queen at Peterborough Cathedral – and how the monarch made people feel at ease as they met her.
Toby Wood took a group of youngsters to the cathedral when Queen Elizabeth II visited the city in 1988. On the visit she opened The Cresset Theatre.
Toby said: “I had taken a group of children from Abbotsmede Junior School to stand outside the cathedral to greet her. We stood there for absolutely ages - about an hour.

"Eventually the Queen and Prince Philip came out – Prince Philip came across to us and said to me ‘I’m dreadfully sorry you’ve had to wait - these things do tend to go on a bit.’
"At one point I had to rush to a phone box and telephone the school to get them to save the children’s dinners because we were going to be late back.
“The Queen was extremely skilled at making people feel at ease – she also could spare just a few seconds to chat with just about everybody.
”I was very struck that she was wearing quite a bright reddish brown outfit – apparently this is to help make us stand out in the crowd!”
Toby said he had also taken children from Walton Junior School to the Cathedral to welcome the Queen in 1975 when she had given Maundy Money out.
He added that the news of the death of the Queen had felt like ‘an end of an era.’
He said: “For people my age, I’m 71, this is the end of an era. Whatever one’s views we have grown up with Queen Elizabeth II and her life has been parallel to the lives of our own parents. Her passing is truly the end of that generation.
“My first memory is sitting on a stool and being told to be quiet as my father and grandad tried to get a rented television to work so that we could all sit and watch the Coronation in 1953. We sat for ages watching the black and white set – my father occasionally wiggling some wires at the back to try and get a better picture.”

A Bull Market Is Coming. Here's How Investors Can Take Advantage of It.
The last few months have been tough for investors. The S&P 500 is down more than 17% since the beginning of the year, and many people are concerned that a market crash is on the horizon.
If you're feeling pessimistic about the future of the market, you're not alone. But a bull market is coming, and right now is the perfect time to take advantage of it. Here's how.
When will the stock market recover?
The bad news is that the stock market can be unpredictable, and nobody knows exactly how it will perform over the short term. There's a chance that stock prices could fall in the coming weeks or months, and a market crash is a possibility.
The good news, though, is that every single bear market in history has eventually given way to a bull market. In other words, no matter how bad the market gets, it will recover and go on to see positive average returns over time.
While that may not be too reassuring at the moment, it does mean that the stock market is safer than it may seem. Investing is a long-term strategy. While nobody knows exactly how long this slump will last, it's almost guaranteed that the market will thrive over time.
How to increase your earnings despite volatility
When stock prices are falling, it can be tempting to stop investing or pull your money out of the market. However, to take full advantage of the inevitable bull market, investing right now is key.
The best way to maximize your earnings in the stock market is to invest when prices are at their lowest, then hold your investments until the market inevitably recovers. If you only invest when the market is thriving, you're paying a premium for your investments and spending far more than necessary.
It can be intimidating to invest during downturns, but it can pay off big time. For instance, near the tail end of the Great Recession, the market hit its lowest point in March 2009. But in the year that followed, the S&P 500 surged by nearly 70%.
If you had stopped investing throughout the recession, you would have missed out on those gains. But the more you invest during market slumps, the more you can potentially earn when prices eventually rebound.
The secret to maximizing your returns
Not all investments are created equal, and some stocks will have a harder time recovering from downturns than others. The more research you put into your investments, the better your chances of surviving a slump.
The strongest stocks are the ones from companies with solid underlying business fundamentals. These stocks won't make you a millionaire overnight, but they're far more likely to see long-term growth despite market volatility. The more of these stocks you have in your portfolio, the more you can potentially earn over time.

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir has said that no other player in the Indian team would have survived without scoring a century for three years. Gambhir's comment came after Virat Kohli scored his maiden international hundred in nearly three years or over 1,000 days. Kohli slammed a century on Thursday against Afghanistan in the Super 4 game of the 2022 Asia Cup. Kohli scored an unbeaten 122 off just 61 balls as he registered his first ton for India in the shortest format.
After the game, Gambhir opined that no other player in the Indian dressing room would have survived without scoring a century in three years. He said players like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul have been dropped, adding "I don't know one guy who hasn't been dropped after not having scored a hundred in three years." Kohli, however, has earned that because of his performances in the past, according to Gambhir.
"You have to realise that it is three years, not three months. Three years is a very long time. And I'm not trying to be critical of him but he has earned that just because he has got loads of runs in the past. But I don't think so that any of the younger batters would have survived in international cricket had they not got a hundred in last three years,” Gambhir said on Star Sports.
"Eventually it had to happen and it happened at the right time as well. You are just approaching the T20 World Cup and he's got a hundred so he has got the monkey off his back. But let's be fair and absolutely honest, I don't think anyone in the dressing room would have survived three years without a hundred. People like Ashwin, Rahane, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have been dropped. I don't know one guy who hasn't been dropped after not having scored a hundred in three years. It is only Virat Kohli and probably he has earned that," he added.
Interestingly, the century against Afghanistan on Thursday was Kohli's first in T20 Internationals and his 71st overall. With his 71st century, Kohli has now equalled the record of former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting's mark of 71 international centuries. Only Sachin Tendulkar (100) has more international centuries than Kohli and Ponting. Kohli reached the milestone of 71 international centuries in just 522 innings, which is the fastest amongst the three players.

Born in Wiltshire in 1991, Joe Sugg is a former roof thatcher turned social media star, actor and author. Inspired by his vlogging sister Zoe, otherwise known as Zoella, he won a place in the Brit Crew – a cohort of UK content creators who dominated YouTube in the 2010s – thanks to his peppy personality and pranks on his long-suffering roommate. With more than 26 million followers across his social media platforms, he has since become a finalist on Strictly Come Dancing, launched emerging talent agency Margravine Management, and performed in London’s West End and the BBC drama Syndicate. His book Grow, about the importance of connecting to nature in a digital world, is released on 15 September.
This is me on set for the BBC period drama Cranford. My aunty or mum must have taken the photo. We’d heard that the film crew was coming to our village, Lacock, and wanted extras for the show, so my whole family went back to the 1800s for the day. I was only in one scene, standing in the background looking shocked as a man with a broken arm walked in to see a doctor, but it was very exciting. Especially as Harry Potter was also filmed in our village a few years before – I’d tried to get picked as an extra for that, too, but didn’t make the cut.
Though I was absolutely devastated that I didn’t get to be in one of the biggest movies of all time, I soon realised I was rejected because I looked so young and probably didn’t fit the age bracket for the scene. I was the shortest in my year at school, so much so that under the photo in my yearbook I wrote: “Good things come in small packages.” Throughout secondary school I got teased a bit because of my height, and all the girls thought I was cute – although not in an “I want to be your girlfriend” type of way. Just: “Ahh bless!” Thankfully I was also one of the quickest at running, and often being sporty means you’re safe and respected at school.
I was always a well-behaved boy. I have a vivid memory of being in primary school and smashing a pot with a basketball by accident. The teacher sat our class down and said: “Despite my saying that nobody was allowed to play in the corridor near the pot, some of you ignored me. I’m very surprised at the boy who did this.” While it wasn’t a massive telling-off, it was enough for me to think: “I’m never misbehaving again.” Naturally, I had a slight rebellious streak at 15 or 16 – around the time I had Tomb Raider and Avril Lavigne posters on my wall. I’d play knock-knock-run on people’s front doors, or hit pears with golf clubs from the garden into the road, not knowing if they would hit a passing car or not. It’s such a country version of mischief compared with what people probably get up to in a city, but whacking pears was my thing.
Before leaving sixth form, we had to write down what we wanted to be when we left school: I chose “working in the media” or “thatching roofs”. I was pretty certain I was going into the latter, and I did, but I thought it might be worth thinking of something else just in case I fell off a roof one day and decided thatching wasn’t for me.
I joined YouTube in 2011, using the name ThatcherJoe, even though my content wasn’t going to be all about my job. It was unknown territory and I launched straight into it without understanding how big it might become. Back then there was no tried-and-tested trajectory for YouTubers – it wasn’t like joining the music industry or becoming an actor, where you can plan out your path. The only things I was good at were being myself and editing. I thought I’d do it for a year and, if it fizzled out, then I’d go back to thatching. Two years later I had six million subscribers.
I’ll never forget my first paycheck from YouTube views – I spent it on a round of drinks in the pub for my friends. It was only £30, but at the time it was impressive that I’d found a new source of income. When things really started taking off, it was hard not to get fixated on numbers – the subscribers and views per video. I’d create a competition in my head with other YouTubers who were doing well, wondering how many subscribers they were getting – and if they missed a week of uploading content I saw it as my chance to try to get ahead. That self-made competition helped me keep a momentum and got me working as hard as possible.
Nothing could prepare me for the fame that followed. Seeing the numbers from videos translated to real-life attention – people who would normally leave comments under a video stood in front of me in real life saying they love what I do and how it benefited them – was incredible. The number of people who told me that my silly videos helped them with their mental health was overwhelming. I guess my tomfoolery is a bit of a distraction and a form of escapism. I never wanted to be serious or say anything that would divide people. My purpose was always to entertain.
With that success came more pressure, and soon I felt as if I needed to keep up that pace and growth, and to make every video better than the one before. I didn’t know it then, but I was setting myself up for burnout. Around 2016, trying to up my game stressed me out so much that I started feeling nervous about filming videos. I kept thinking: “What if it’s not as good as the last one? What if my audience drops off? What if I’m not relevant any more?” It was like stage fright, and I started to second-guess everything. I stopped liking the work; I stopped throwing myself into opportunities because of the overthinking and stress. Thankfully my sister paved the way for me not only creatively but emotionally, too. She could help me with the problems I faced and related to what I was going through with my anxiety. I was very lucky I could reach out to her.
These days, I’m starting to enjoy a slower pace and taking a back seat to consider my options for the long term. Social media is a much more saturated place than it used to be, and being an influencer or an online personality is such a sought-after career. I can see why: you get to be yourself, or the character you’ve always wanted to be, and make a living from it. But the turnover now is so fast – young people are blowing up overnight, and as quickly as they are getting fame, they’re forgotten about. If I was a 16-year-old starting all over again, I’m not sure how I would deal with those kinds of extremities.
It’s something I think about when it comes to my future children. If they were to choose a similar career path, I’d want to keep an eye on what’s going on online, make sure they’re OK. At the same time, I’m open-minded and would like to stay curious and unafraid of new things, just like that little boy in the picture. He wasn’t scared to take a risk, be an extra and do something he’d never done before. I hope to have that kind of inquisitiveness for ever.

One recent morning, moving through my daily work routine, the phone rang. In conditioned fashion, I answered. The voice on the other end seemed insistent without explanation. Knowing there was a protocol to his request, I reacted to his attitude with a cold, mustered professionalism. Moments later, at my request to the caller, a third party, a friend, called on his behalf. With my friend, I expressed my frustration.
When patience, forbearance, and charity should have prevailed, I bristled with a momentary terseness, reacting to an attitude, a personality I perceived as too assuming and forward. My fit caused me to utter the word “idiot” describing the caller to my friend. I immediately realized my fault. I had no other reason to be angry other than my distaste for the caller’s assumption. I thought, “why didn’t he know better?”
In reflection, why didn’t I know better?
After apologizing to my friend by text over my failing, I stewed over this encounter for the rest of the morning until my friend texted his response offering his agreement and forgiveness. I felt immediate relief from my mistake.
And then, it occurred to me. His forgiveness and understanding was tangible. I could hear the sincerity in his tone. My asking, my seeking atonement, and his response, assured me in a way I could not assure myself. Forgiveness is not an entry into reconciliation, but the receiving of it. I could not be reconciled until I heard my friend’s words. I wondered. Have we, in earnest, received God’s forgiveness? Have we heard His words? Oh, not by the mind but by the heart have we received?
Too easy do we say “yes” to the question because this is what we have heard and been told our whole Christian life. I think the answer is much harder. Impulse ruled my lesser moment.
The hard work of reconciliation begins in forgiveness — yes, the asking — but much more the receiving. Only then can love win. Only then, when hearts appeal to hearts in sincerity and truth, do we discover between the asking and receiving, God’s meaning, His grace.
George MacDonald wrote, “He that is made in the image of God must know Him or be desolate. Witness the dissatisfaction, yea, desolation of my soul—wretched, alone, unfinished, without Him. It cannot act from itself, save in God; acting from what seems itself without God, is no action at all, it is a mere yielding to impulse. All within is disorder and spasm. There is a cry behind me, and a voice before; instincts of betterment tell me I must rise above my present self: I see not how to obey, how to carry them out!”
I cannot see God. I cannot touch Him. But through the asking and receiving of forgiveness, I am seen by Him, touched by Him and I know Him, know Him to be truth. And when my lesser moment reveals there is but desolation left in me, forgiveness turns my soul toward Him again, toward my betterment through Him.

Governor Tom Wolf announced his $21.5 million plan to provide universal free school breakfast for 1.7 million students across the commonwealth this school year.
“It is completely unacceptable for a child to start the day hungry,” said Gov. Wolf. “I’m taking hunger off the table for Pennsylvania kids by creating the Universal Free Breakfast Program. Regardless of whether or not they qualify for free or reduced meals normally, every student enrolled in public or private schools will have the opportunity to feed their belly before they feed their mind this school year.”
The Universal Free Breakfast Program will go into effect on October 1, 2022 and run through the end of the 2022-23 school year. More than 1.7 million Pennsylvania children enrolled in public schools, intermediate units, charter schools, career and technology schools, and child care institutions that participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs will benefit from this state-funded program. The $21.5 million program is funded with prior year funding from the School Food Services General Fund appropriation. Interested schools that do not currently participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs can find information for applying on the Department of Education’s website.
“We commend Gov. Wolf and the Administration for their dedication to a hunger-free Pennsylvania. Universal free school breakfast across Pennsylvania helps to ensure every student will start their day with a healthy, nutritious meal,” said School Nutrition Association of Pennsylvania Communications Chair Melissa Froehlich. “Research supports that a well-nourished child who starts the day with breakfast is more likely to be at school, has improved concentration and is more willing to participate in the classroom. Universal free breakfast for all students in Pennsylvania will strengthen child nutrition programs and address equity and stigma around school breakfast so that more children will have access to nutritious meals and set our students up for success in the classroom.”
From March 2020 through the 2021-22 school year, students were afforded free meals from school as a result of waivers approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For two years, nearly 1 million students have eaten for free each year. Comparing the 2018-19 school year, when free breakfast was not universal, to 2021-22, when school was fully in-person and breakfast was universally free, breakfast consumption increased by nearly 16%. That is 16% of Pennsylvania children that would start their day hungry this year—and that is a number that Gov. Wolf would not accept.
“As a parent and grandparent myself, I know that there is nothing more important than our kids,” added Gov. Wolf. “This investment in free school breakfast for all is an investment in a better, healthier, happier life for our kids now and in the years to come.”
Senator Lindsey Williams, Senate Educate Committee Chair and advocate for childhood nutrition, commended Gov. Wolf’s Universal School Breakfast Program.
“It takes a village to tackle an issue as important and impactful as food security for our children. Keeping students fed, nourished, and ready to learn is vital to their health and education,” said Sen. Williams. “These investments in school meals relieve the pressure on our families as grocery prices rise and ensure that all students can access nutritious food without shame or stigma. I’m grateful for all of the work being done to keep students from going hungry.”

If you had to come up with a worst-case scenario for a global food crisis, it would look a lot like what’s unfolded this year: a dangerous combination of war, drought and punishingly high prices for fertilizer, fuel and crops.
When the food and agricultural arm of the United Nations released its annual report on the state of food insecurity this summer, the agency warned that 345 million people are on the brink of starvation, and that looming famines threaten to bring about “global destabilization, starvation and mass migration on an unprecedented scale.”
Which is more or less the catastrophe Robert Andjelic envisioned more than a decade ago. Once the largest industrial property owner in Winnipeg, Mr. Andjelic set out in 2009, then in his mid-60s, to find an investment he could pass on to his children and grandchildren that would safeguard against the wave of inflation he believed was coming.
Ultimately, his search came down to a simple question: What does Canada have that the world needs, and that China can’t dominate? The answers he arrived at were water and agriculture, specifically farmland. He bought his first tract of Saskatchewan soil the following year, convinced climate change and a deteriorating geopolitical landscape would wreak havoc on global food supplies in the years to come.
Today, Mr. Andjelic is not only the largest farmland owner in Saskatchewan; nobody in Canada owns more than he does. And in North America, only one other person boasts a larger portfolio: Bill Gates.
From a modest bungalow in the foothills southwest of Calgary, replete with 1970s wood panel walls and motel toiletries in the bathrooms, Mr. Andjelic has amassed more than 225,500 acres of land in Saskatchewan – a property portfolio worth somewhere between $500-million and $700-million – while raising the ire of some farmers and conservationists in the process.

Behind Mr. Andjelic’s buying spree is an outsized bet that Canada’s agricultural sector is presented with a once-in-a-century opportunity. A growing global population and, more importantly, an even faster-growing middle class hungry for protein-rich foods is clashing with a decline in available farmland brought on by urbanization and extreme weather. Even before Russia’s invasion devastated Ukraine, the so-called bread basket of Europe, international food prices were up 40 per cent from 2019.
As the fifth-largest agricultural producer in the world, Canada is already well positioned to meet that growing demand. Yet Mr. Andjelic and many other people in the sector warn of trouble ahead.
It’s not just that Canada’s creaking rail and port infrastructure is ill-equipped for getting agricultural goods to world markets quickly, let alone handling growing output in the future. Farmers across the country fear the federal government, in its push for a 30-per-cent reduction in fertilizer emissions by 2030 as part of its net-zero climate change plan, risks causing drops in crop yields, total output and revenue.
“Canada has a massive advantage over the rest of the world, but if it’s neglected or hurt, we’re going to completely lose that advantage,” says Mr. Andjelic, as he steers his hulking Dodge Ram Rebel truck along the TransCanada Highway southwest of Regina. “I worry the government is going to do to agriculture what it’s done to the oil and gas sector, but instead of just feeling it at the pumps, with agriculture there’s a human penalty that will be paid for with lives.”
For two weeks each month, Mr. Andjelic crisscrosses the Prairies visiting some of his roughly 250 farmer tenants or speaking with them by phone for hours on end as he drives. In a year, he easily clocks more than 60,000 kilometres on such trips.
Over the summer, The Globe and Mail joined Mr. Andjelic on a 1,500-km road trip across Saskatchewan, talking with producers and others along the way about changes they face.
At 76, Mr. Andjelic, a father of five and grandfather to 12, exhibits the energy of someone decades younger. He regularly hikes the foothills near his home and makes it a point to close the daily exercise rings on his Apple Watch, even if that entails pacing his hotel room until after midnight to get his 10,000 steps in.
Though he came to the agricultural industry without a background in farming, Mr. Andjelic speaks effortlessly with his tenants in their language of crop nutrients, soil moisture levels and weed management. He also shares their exasperation with eastern city dwellers. “All this Hee Haw stuff of farmers in plaid shirts with pitchforks is what those people think farming is,” he complains at one point.
But because Mr. Andjelic was an outsider, it also allowed him to question how farmland was being managed without the burden of tradition. When hiring staff for Andjelic Land, the 10-person Regina-based company that manages his holdings, he prioritizes those without agriculture backgrounds. “I don’t have to hear them say this is how things have been done for 40 years,” he says.
He developed analytics tools specifically geared to farmland investing, with a database 800,000 spreadsheet rows deep on everything from tenant financials, to fertilizer usage and water sample results, not to mention grasshopper outbreaks across all his properties. It’s like Moneyball, the Michael Lewis book about the Oakland Athletics’ embrace of statistics to evaluate players, only for dirt.
But, more than anything, Mr. Andjelic has pursued a strategy of land improvements in which his team strips away old fences, tree lines, rock piles and crumbling farm structures that long characterized the Saskatchewan landscape, enabling farmers to guide their sprawling 90-foot-wide seeders and sprayers for kilometres at a time without slowing down or turning.
By his estimate, Andjelic Lands has spent $25-million on land improvements over the past decade.
“Robert’s land really stands out because there are no trees or old yard sites and tenants gravitate to that because he’s made the land more efficient,” says Harry Sheppard, a realtor who brokered some of Mr. Andjelic’s first land purchases.
Or as Mr. Andjelic puts it himself: “I’ve been in this business only about 11 years, but I’ve turned it on its head.”
The path to farmland baron was far less straight than the rows in Mr. Andjelic’s sprawling fields. Born in Croatia, then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, he and his two siblings were smuggled by their mother across the border to Austria in 1958, evading dogs and guards armed with machine guns. They joined Mr. Andjelic’s father, who’d fled earlier, in Winnipeg, where the family began renovating houses.
Mr. Andjelic didn’t speak English, and says he endured taunts from people upset with the influx of Eastern European immigrants. In time, however, the family expanded their burgeoning construction business into larger contracts, such as hydro projects and schools in northern Manitoba. After setting out on his own in the 1980s, Mr. Andjelic launched Sun-X Properties, an industrial warehouse developer in Winnipeg.
There’s a pattern of impeccable timing to Mr. Andjelic’s life in business, and the recession of the early 1990s revealed that. Anticipating a downturn, he built up a cash buffer which left his business relatively unscathed. “The guy left standing is perceived by bankers to be the most stable, and they were coming to me asking me to take buildings off their hands,” he says. “Virtually all of my competition went broke and that’s when I took over the market.”
By the mid-2000s, Sun-X had become the largest industrial landowner in Winnipeg, with more than three million square feet of warehouse space at its peak.
Which is when Mr. Andjelic once again sensed trouble.
In early 2007, a year before the financial crisis hit, Mr. Andjelic sold Sun-X to British Columbia Investment Management Corp., a public-sector pension manager, in a deal then valued at between $100-million and $200-million.
Mr. Andjelic won’t reveal the sale price, only that it was in the “hundreds of millions.” He adds, wryly, “That was a big tax bill.”
Despite his fortune, Mr. Andjelic lives a surprisingly frugal life. He doesn’t collect art or cars – the only other vehicle in his garage besides his truck is a dust-covered 2006 Corvette – and is not above haggling for a $20 discount on a room at a Ramada. “If I was on welfare, I think I could stay within my budget,” he says.
With the cash proceeds from the sale of Sun-X, Mr. Andjelic hunted for a legacy investment for his family. He’d seen first-hand from his commercial tenants how cheap goods from China and low-cost competition from Amazon.com Inc. could decimate a business.
As Mr. Andjelic saw it, farmland would avoid those threats, and Saskatchewan offered some of the most affordable land in the country, thanks to years of strict ownership rules under which only provincial residents could purchase land.
Those rules were eased in 2003, allowing any Canadian resident to buy here. Mr. Andjelic acquired the bulk of his portfolio in the first five years, using satellite imagery to evaluate land and overseeing every aspect of each purchase himself.
When Mr. Andjelic bought his first acres in late 2010, the average price in the province was around $500 an acre, less than half that of Manitoba. Last year the average price hit $2,200, according to Farm Credit Canada, a Crown corporation that provides loans to farmers. Mr. Andjelic pegs the average price of his land at $3,000, because of land improvements and location.
As for debt, he says the loan-to-value ratio on his farmland portfolio is “quite a bit below” 30 per cent.
“I’ve worked with hundreds of farmland investors and I don’t know anyone who is as hands on as Robert,” says Ted Cawkwell, another realtor who has handled transactions for Mr. Andjelic. “He has more of a 30,000-foot view than anyone I’ve ever met.”
Mr. Andjelic’s big-picture perspective can be grim to listen to, as he lays out his bullish thesis for Canadian agriculture.
He’s a strong believer climate change is real, though he won’t be pinned down on its cause. He points to an analysis he did 10 years ago, predicting up to half of America’s agricultural land could eventually be out of commission compared with two decades ago. Just days before our talk, California, which produces more food than any other state, restricted farmers’ access to water due to drought.
Mr. Andjelic sees supply constraints emerging everywhere: In China, where his commodity broker contacts say the country’s wheat inventory is plagued by spoilage levels vastly higher than officials there admit; in India and other countries that are imposing export restrictions; and, of course, in Ukraine, where despite the opening of some ports, he believes crop output will take years to recover.
Add it together, and Mr. Andjelic predicts a wave of social unrest is on the horizon, driven by food shortages and inflation. “This is how you get a world facing famine and possible riots and how regimes are toppled,” he says. “Just look at the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Arab Spring – it’s always about the cost of food and food availability.”
The solution, he says, is more Canadian-grown food, whether that’s bulk commodities or, better yet, value-added products such as protein extracts from pulse crops – including chickpeas, yellow peas and lentils – as well as processed canola. Over the past decade, he’s worked with companies, investors and banks to promote the plant-based protein industry in the Prairie provinces where, by his count, 25 protein-extraction plants have opened over the past five years.
He also points to the land improvements he carries out, which boost yields per acre. However, as Mr. Andjelic emerged as a significant farmland owner, he faced immediate criticism from some farmers, conservationists and academics about his approach.
Some of it comes down to aesthetics. Mr. Sheppard, the realtor on Mr. Andjelic’s early deals, recalls the backlash from some nearby farmers at the sight of land being cleared of trees and old farmyard structures. “Here was this stranger coming in from Winnipeg, erasing the history and landmarks that had been there for 75 years,” Mr. Sheppard says. “Those old yard sites were somebody’s history, but those people are gone, and now it’s productive farmland that was being wasted.”
Other critics blame investors for surging land prices that shut young farmers out of the market. “We need a new generation of farmers, yet young farmers can’t purchase land,” says Annette Aurélie Desmarais, a professor at the University of Manitoba, who studies food sovereignty and has co-authored several papers on investor “land grabbing” on the Prairies. “Farmers see investors as supercompetitors; they’re up against people like Andjelic who have much deeper pockets than themselves.”
In a coming paper, Ms. Desmarais and her co-authors detail the results of a survey of 400 Prairie grain farmers they conducted about farmland investment and large-scale farm operations, which showed most respondents were apprehensive about the changes. Close to 78 per cent said farmland investors had a negative impact on local communities, and 60 per cent saw a negative impact on local farmland markets.
Yet the responses also seem to be a reaction to the transformation under way in farming. The sector is becoming a more sophisticated, data-driven, bottom-line-oriented business, in which the number of farms in Saskatchewan has fallen steadily from a peak of 140,000 in the 1940s even as output has dramatically increased.
Last year, there were 34,128 farms, according to the latest census of agriculture by Statistics Canada, down by nearly one-third from 2001 (though the agency says the latest census includes a change in the definition of farms that weeds out some hobby farms and makes historical comparisons difficult).
“The market has become cutthroat, pitting neighbour against neighbour,” complained one survey respondent. Added another: “Smaller operators just don’t count. Large very rich players don’t have time of day for smaller operators. No neighbours, only competitors.”
The heavy rain that had been falling for much of the drive across Saskatchewan has slowed as Mr. Andjelic eases his truck along a damp dirt road near the town of Moosomin, by the Manitoba border.
Mr. Andjelic is here to meet with Kristjan Hebert, managing partner of Hebert Grain Ventures, which farms 30,000 acres of canola and other crops. When he returned to run the family farm in 2009 after a five-year stint as an accountant, it was a 3,500-acre operation. He’s expanded by buying land or leasing it from landowners such as Mr. Andjelic.
“Everyone’s always saying that farms are getting bigger because they’re greedy and corporate and I would say … we’ve gotten bigger so we can have better people, and pay more, and so we can invest in technology to farm every acre as good as the first acre,” Mr. Hebert says. “If you run a farm like a way of life, it’s actually a pretty bad business, but if you run it like a business, it’s a pretty good way of life.”
As the two men sit down, wheat prices have retreated from the spike brought on by the Russian invasion, but remain high. “The whole world is probably paying more attention to agriculture now than it has in 70 years,” Mr. Hebert says.
Like many Canadian farmers, Mr. Hebert took advantage of elevated prices to plant more acres of wheat. The latest wheat harvest estimates from Statistics Canada suggest production this year will be 13 per cent higher than the five-year average.
Yet he and many others in the sector say Canada’s transportation infrastructure is not able to keep pace.
“As long as Mother Nature co-operates, Canada can produce as much grain as we always have and more, but we need to ensure we can get that to the world,” he says. “We can’t have railway disruptions and strikes; we can’t have the Port of Vancouver not loading cars; we can’t have container ships not able to get into port. That’s all out of farmers’ control.”
In the absence of progress on a long-term national transportation strategy, some leaders have taken things into their own hands.
In Regina, Murad Al-Katib, founder and chief executive of AGT Food and Ingredients Inc., a global commodity trading firm and processor of pulse crops that has 40 processing facilities worldwide, points to the $150-million railway container terminal he built next door to his first facility. It’s part of a series of deals AGT, backed by Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd., undertook to assemble the largest short-line railway in Western Canada, capable of moving agricultural goods quickly from farms to ports in Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
Far more will need to be done if Canada is to live up to its potential. Mr. Al-Katib estimates gains from technology, crop innovations and irrigation could boost Canada’s annual principal field crop production significantly in the years to come. Yet trade corridors are already congested.
“We’re a country of 35 million with the productive capacity to feed billions of people,” he says. “But that’s contingent on our ability to trade with the world.”
Back at Mr. Hebert’s farm, the conversation soon turns to the federal government’s push to reduce emissions from farmers using fertilizers. Earlier this year, Agriculture Canada released a proposal to cut fertilizer-related emissions by 30 per cent within eight years. Ottawa insists the cuts will be voluntary, but the plan has renewed feelings that eastern politicians take the work farmers do for granted.
Much of the frustration lies in the fact farmers have already taken significant steps to reduce fertilizer use, if only for their bottom lines. As one farmer griped to Mr. Andjelic during a phone call: “No one is going to put on more fertilizer than they need. Farmers are tight-asses.”
Many farmers already operate sprayers with variable nozzles connected to GPS applications that automatically turn off if going over land that’s already been sprayed. Hebert conducts soil tests every four acres to fine-tune how much fertilizer is needed. And nearly 80 per cent of Saskatchewan farmers now practice zero-till farming – they don’t plow fields before sowing crops. That helps prevent soil erosion, keeps carbon in the ground and reduces the need for fertilizer.
But farmers also fear if Ottawa makes its 30-per-cent emissions cut mandatory, it would require a sharp drop in fertilizer usage, slashing how much food they can produce. The uncertainty has farmers on edge.
“The only risk in agriculture that actually scares me is bad policy,” Mr. Hebert says. “I can deal with what mother nature throws at me, but policy is something that’s really tough to hedge against.”
There are signs the message is getting through. “We believe there’s an opportunity to reduce nitrous oxide emissions by employing different methods,” said Kody Blois, chair of the House of Commons agriculture committee, in an interview. “However, we are in a period right now with the war in Ukraine that Canadian agriculture is needed more than ever.”
Mr. Blois says it’s a “misconception” Ottawa plans to ban certain amounts of fertilizer, and blames a “communications gap” on the federal Liberals having no seats in Saskatchewan.
But if voluntary emissions reductions fail, would Ottawa impose mandatory ones? “That’s ultimately a decision for government to make,” he says. “What I can say, as a member of Parliament that does not sit in the Privy Council, now is not the time to be compromising Canada’s food security.”
For Mr. Andjelic, the proof will be in the federal government’s actions: “If these guys in Ottawa think they’re going to tell farmers, who know their land, how to implement a fertilizer cut, it’s insulting.”
Since Mr. Andjelic’s first foray into Saskatchewan farmland, more investors have poured in, including, for a time, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. The fund bought 120,000 acres in 2013, but sold its holdings four years later after the province brought in rules banning institutional investors from buying farmland. CPPIB also sold its U.S. farmland holdings that year to Cascade Investment LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Gates.
Mr. Andjelic says he has no interest in selling and is doing due diligence to acquire farmland in Alberta and Manitoba. He’s also structured his estate in a way that discourages family members from selling their share of the land.
That’s not to say he doesn’t have an exit strategy. He’s geared his portfolio toward use by Hutterites, a Christian sect that embraces communal land ownership. As Hutterite colonies grow, they split to create new ones that typically buy farmland in the process, and Mr. Andjelic sees that adding to demand over the next 10 years.
“I don’t have an exit strategy because I want to sell, but in case I’m ever forced to sell,” he says. “I always run my businesses with options a, b, c, d, up to k, so that no matter what’s thrown at me, I’m ready for it.”
For now, the opportunities are too enticing to pass up, he says, from the potential for Saskatchewan to be the world’s top producer of plant-based proteins, to the northern expansion of crops such as corn and soybeans as climate change extends the province’s growing season.
Mr. Andjelic is even turning his attention to that other Canadian commodity the world is desperately short of: water.
“There will be countries where the bulk of the population will have to move to areas with water,” he says. “I’m starting to look at opportunities to monetize that. But there’s only 24 hours in a day, and I’m only one guy.”

Uhuru's emotional farewell: CS Rachel Omamo breaks down
President Uhuru Kenyatta will hand over power to president-elect William Ruto on September 13
Recommended articles
The CS who has held different positions in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cabinet was overwhelmed by emotions and was captured shedding tears as military personnel bade Uhuru goodbye.
Omamo could be seen struggling to compose herself as she walked beside Uhuru and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
During the farewell, Uhuru appreciated Kenyans at large for their support during his two terms in office that saw the nation make significant steps towards prosperity.
“I most sincerely thank all Kenyans for their extraordinary support to me, which made and continues to make significant contributions towards the prosperity of our nation.
“I thank everyone who has walked the talk with me and especially you the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF),” President Kenyatta said.
The CS first made it to Cabinet in 2013, serving in the Defense docket between 2013 and 2020.
In this role, she was a key figure in implementing the government’s security policies at a time when Kenyan troops were actively involved in peace efforts in Somalia
She was tasked with supervising the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), made up of the Kenya Army, Kenya Air Force and the Kenya Navy.
She was then moved to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Handover to president-elect William Ruto and colourful farewell
Uhuru has served as Kenya's President and Commander-In-Chief for 10 years will hand over power to President-elect William Ruto on September 13, during his swearing-in.
The farewell ceremony was also attended by Chief of Defence Forces Gen Robert Kibochi, Vice Chief of Defence Forces Lt. Gen. Francis Omondi Ogolla, Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua, CSs Eugene Wamalwa (Defence) and Monica Juma (Energy).
Gen. Kibochi thanked Uhuru for involving the KDF in the implementation of key projects such as the revival of Kenya Meat Commission.
"Since the takeover of KMC's efficiency in product delivery and profit-making has been rejuvenated to a great extent," Kibochi said.
"In the spirit of enhancing comprehensive security, the Commander-in-Chief has, in the last 10 years supported the expansion and transformation of KDF in order to achieve mission readiness.
“The KDF is today a force that is responsive and useful to the national socio-economic agenda," Gen. Kibochi added.

The filming for Neflix's latest series of The Crown will be postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The creator of the Netflix seriPeter Morgan has described the semi-fictional drama, which is filmed in parts of Hertfordshire, as "a love letter" to Britain's longest serving monarch, and confirmed filming for the sixth series of the award-winning production will be suspended "out of respect" for the late Head of State.
Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday (September 8) at the age of 96 surrounded by her family at Balmoral Castle. Her eldest son and heir Prince Charles will be proclaimed King today (September 10). She leaves behind four children, eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie and Lilibet.
A 17-day period of national mourning began yesterday (September 9) with her funeral due to take place within a fortnight. The future king, the Prince of Wales, and second in line to the throne, the Duke of Cambridge, rushed to the Queen’s Scottish Highlands home following the announcement.
The Crown creator issued a statement regarding the future of the Netflix series as the nation - and the globe - reacted to the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death, The Mirror reports. Peter Morgan, who also wrote the 2006 film The Queen, starring Helen Mirren, shared in an email with Deadline that he expects production on the sixth series of The Crown "will stop filming out of respect" for a period of time.
The American publication reports him writing in the wake of the Queen's death: "The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too."
The fifth series had been scheduled to air in November this year but following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, it's not yet known if the proposed premiere will still go ahead later this year. The show is regularly filmed in parts of Hertfordshire including at Elstree Studios, Hatfield House and Knebworth House.
Actress Claire Foy was the first to portray the late monarch in the first two series of The Crown - going on to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2018. She was succeeded by Olivia Colman in series three and four, who won the Golden Globe Award and Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work on the show.
Netflix has reportedly had plans in place for some time regarding how the award-winning show will proceed following the Queen's death. Deadline reports Stephen Daldry - who directed early episodes of The Crown - vowed when the show first aired that production would pause as a mark of respect.
"None of us know when that time will come but it would be right and proper to show respect to the Queen. It would be a simple tribute and a mark of respect. She’s a global figure and it’s what we should do," he declared in 2016, shortly after The Crown made its debut on Netflix.
Earlier this year, actress Joanna Lumley revealed how she can't watch The Crown as she "knows the Royal Family and has loyalty" - branding some of the latest episodes of the hit series "rather ghastly". Speaking to the Mirror in March, the 75-year-old admitted she watched some older episodes about the Queen's early life as she did not know anything about it but then things changed.
She commented: "Suddenly, it began to get closer and closer and they had people acting as Prince Charles, as Camilla Parker Bowles, as Princess Anne. I know them all."
"I know that's not how they speak or what they said or did. People say, 'Oh, well everybody knows that it's made up.' People don't, people think it's the truth," she continued.
The actor added: "So I decided not to watch it anymore because I have some loyalty, as one would to anybody they know and like and are lucky enough to be friendly with.
"It's rather ghastly. I mean think of somebody imagining what you say and then it becoming something spread around the world and people believing it's the gospel truth."

MQM-P coordination committee members irked over Kamran Tessori’s inclusion
Multiple coordination committee members have expressed their anger over restoration of Kamran Tessori as member of the committee.
According to estranged MQM-P leaders, they were not informed regarding the coordination committee’s meeting and only few members were informed regarding it.
“MNA Kishwar Zehra has conveyed her reservations to the party in written in which she stated that she is part of the committee but will not remain silent on unjustified decisions,” they said.
The sources said that the other estranged leaders included lawmakers Javed Hanif, Muhammad Hussain, Zahid Mansoori, and Amir Moeen. “They have demanded to hold the meeting again and decide on the matters with two-third majority,” they said. “Any member could be included in the coordination committee after approval with two-third majority.”
Moreover, sources said that another key leader Advocate Shahab Imam is also annoyed over the recent decisions and has decided to part ways from the party in protest.
Kamran Tessori is considered close to former MQM-P leader Farooq Sattar and his induction in the party is seen as Sattar’s return to the party fold.
In February 2018, Kamran Tessori, who was considered the major source of contention within the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM-P), on Friday reportedly submitted his resignation to Farooq Sattar.
Tessori also announced that he would not contest the intra-party elections which are scheduled to be held on Sunday February 18. He said that he has submitted his resignation to Farooq Sattar and any decision taken by him would be accepted.

KING Charles appeared “confident” and “powerful” as he was formally declared Monarch in an historic Accession ceremony.
Body language expert Judi James said the royal appeared “assured” - and his son Prince William looked “dutiful.”
King Charles III today vowed to follow the Queen’s "inspiring example" as he was formally declared Monarch in an historic Accession ceremony.
The royal automatically became King following the tragic death of his mother on Thursday but his role has been confirmed this morning.
Judi told The Sun Online: “Charles’s body language has changed overnight from the vulnerable, emotional and tearful man yesterday to a confident, assured and much more powerful looking King today.
“His voice was strong and deep and his torso more upright and splayed.

I've known Charles for 40 years - he will be a excellent King
"His eyes watched the formal proceedings with the same gimlet eye his mother used to show she was in control of every stage.
“His support and back up came from his son and wife standing dutifully behind him.”
A ceremony was carried out by the Accession Council at St James' Palace, which was not attended by King Charles III, in line with tradition.
He then later entered the throne room where he vowed to follow the Queen's "inspiring example" in front of Prince William and Queen Camilla.

The King said: "I know how deeply you, the entire Nation - and I think I may say the whole world - sympathise with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered.
"It is the greatest consolation to me to know of the sympathy expressed by so many to my Sister and Brothers and that such overwhelming affection and support should be extended to our whole family in our loss.
"To all of us as a family, as to this kingdom and the wider family of nations of which it is a part, my Mother gave an example of lifelong love and of selfless service.
"My Mother’s reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life."
King Charles also approved an order that the day of the Queen's funeral, which is yet to be decided, will be a Bank Holiday.
Prince William earlier signed the proclamation to formally make him King.
It is the first time he has been seen in public since his grandmother's death.
The King also praised his "beloved" wife, Queen Consort Camilla, who also added her name to the historic document.
A cheer of "God Save the King" was given during the first-ever televised Accession ceremony.
The formalities come after King Charles last night pledged to follow his "darling mama's" life of service in his first address to the nation.
He also spoke of his "profound sorrow" at her death and praised the “affection, admiration and respect” the Queen inspired that “became the hallmark of her reign”.
He shook hands with well-wishers as he begun his first day as the nation's monarch after a 70-year wait for the throne.
One over-eager supporter even gave the King a kiss on the cheek in a breach of protocol.
He then poignantly visited the sea of flowers left for his mum and paused for a moment of silent reflection.

Barbarian review: this rental is a fixer-upper
By Nathan Durr
A fixer-upper, in theory, is a property that needs mending despite displaying resemblances of potential value. Zach Cregger's feature-length debut, Barbarian, has some rough edges and sore sights that are hard to ignore, but an overall solid foundation that ultimately makes the investment worth your time.
Set nearly entirely in an Airbnb on the outskirts of Detroit, a young woman discovers her recently acquired rental has been double-booked by a mystifying man whose intentions are undecipherable. After reluctantly deciding to stay the night, it's self-evident that there's more than meets the eye with this Airbnb and its inhabitant(s). If that sounds like your stereotypical basis for a horror film plot, you'd be correct, however, Barbarian is self-aware of any preconceived tropes and clichés inherently accustomed to such a plot. In fact, the film's trailers and marketing campaign have done a top-notch job of keeping the darker secrets of this film out of the spotlight. As the film progresses, the reality and merit of this Airbnb become questionable as we unearth the darker conundrums that lie beneath the surface.
When you inherit a fixer-upper, it's hard not to be overwhelmingly positive as you visualize what the end product may look like after the improvements have been made. Perhaps you selected the property because you noticed the house has good bones and a sturdy substructure. The house may present unique features that give it personality and character. That's what the first half of this film feels like. The set-up and execution of Barbarian's first 45-minutes are near perfection. Cregger impressively builds tension to a white-knuckling extent, the pacing is an effective slow burn, and the setting houses an engrossing vagueness that keeps the viewer engaged and intrigued. Zach Kuperstein's cinematography is noteworthy as he successfully captures the unsettling normalcy of the Airbnb's surface level and the juxtaposed wretched crawl spaces of the sub-basement. The film's score by Anna Drubich is a mixture of crying orchestral cues intertwined with the backdrop of a pulsating heart, mimicking the heart rates of its characters and viewers alike. The performances by Georgina Campbell and Bill Skarsgård are particularly noteworthy. However, like with most home improvement jobs, the deeper you explore, the more complications arise.
My issues with Barbarian begin near the halfway point of the film. After a certain point, Barbarian opens up and provides context, and explains the history of the Airbnb alongside its surrounding environment. There's a drastic tonal shift that completely undermines the tension and goodwill established in the first half. It tries to replicate previously effective scenes only to feel repetitive and monotonous. It's a second half that requires an impressive amount of suspension of disbelief. Characters that went out of their way to avoid the horror movie clichés suddenly find themselves plagued by poor decisions. The film's twist is relegated to a brief stint of exposition before asking the audience to move on so as to not think about it too much. Most notably, Barbarian feels hollow with its themes. There are conversations about misogyny, rural suburban degradation, the ineptitude of law enforcement, and the horrific acts and consequences of assault, however, these are merely mentioned and not given ample consideration. Barbarian feels like it was conceptualized with an "interesting" concept at the forefront meanwhile sacrificing its themes, character development, and plausibility for it.
Your mileage with Barbarian heavily depends on your feelings for where this film goes in the second half. Some may find the set-up not worth the payoff, and others may enjoy the lengths of absurdity nearing the third act. For me, the first half presents enough redeemable qualities to recommend seeking this film out. If you're familiar with James Wan's Malignant (2021) or Sam Raimi's earlier work with the Evil Dead franchise, Barbarian closely resembles those campy sentiments with dark humor and an incongruous tone sprinkled throughout. Barbarian doesn't fully embrace its eccentric premise, taking itself rather seriously in its more risible scenes on paper. This leads to tonal inconsistencies and an identity crisis, caught between being aware of its inanity and playing it grievously. There is a well-made substratum somewhere beneath the uncertainties, however. The film is certainly a conversation starter. It breathes some originality into the tired tropes of the horror genre. It's well-acted for the most part, its underground production design establishes an extraordinary atmosphere, and the sound design is layered with subtle creaks and unforeseen faint groans from various directions. It's the more subtle aspects of the first half that are the highlights for me. It's the divisive second half that brings to question whether or not this fixer-upper has potential or not.

Dover man pleads guilty to sex trafficking a minor. He'll be sentenced in December.
CONCORD — Tyler Townsend, 28, of Dover pleaded guilty Friday to repeatedly sex trafficking a minor in 2017, according to U.S. Attorney Jane Young.
Townsend, previously charged with assault while incarcerated at Strafford County Jail in 2019 and arrested on two felony counts in 2013 for sale of a controlled drug, is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 19 on the sex trafficking charge.
Townsend was accused of advertising a girl for sex on a now-defunct website five years ago, according to court documents and statements made in court. Search of email and phone records provided evidence of his involvement, according to Young. She said he negotiated terms and prices with people who responded to the ads.
The Dover man would “frequently” accompany the minor to collect money from the people engaging in sexual acts, according to Young.
From last year:Dover resident faces federal indictments for child sex trafficking and images
Townsend’s guilty pleading on Friday was solely on the sex trafficking of a minor charge. He had been indicted on an additional charge of production of child pornography last year.
Townsend’s case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Dover Police Department and has been prosecuted by Assistant U.S. attorneys Kasey Weiland and Anna Dronzek.
Court records show Townsend is represented by attorney Timothy James Connors, who did not immediately reply to a request for comment Friday.

CONCORD TWP. — Garnet Valley figured to put points on the board Friday. But five touchdowns in the first half was a pleasant surprise even for Jaguars head coach Eric Van Wyk, who substituted liberally in a 49-0 win over Radnor.
Senior Jake McDowell got the Jaguars started on a 50-yard pass from Matt Mesaros, dragging a tackler into the end zone to start the scoring at Moe DeFrank Stadium. The distance McDowell carried the defender is becoming legend.
“I’m not really sure,” McDowell said. “I heard 10, I heard 15, I heard 20. I’ll have to watch the replay. But it’s incredible to start like that. You’ve really got to set the tone and that play got us going. We got all pumped, the offense and the defense and we just clicked.”
McDowell registered back-to-back sacks of quarterback Tucker Graham to end a Radnor threat late in the third quarter.
The Jaguars (3-0, 2-0 Central) have won their first three games for the third straight season. Seven players scored touchdowns, and Drew Van Horn kicked five PATs in place of regular kicker Timothy Comers, shelved with a knee injury.
“He did pretty well,” Comers said. “Pretty well.”
The Jaguars pitched yet another shutout in their bid to carve out an identity separate from the powerhouse squad that advanced to the Class 6A semifinals last year. It’s their 36th straight Central League win, dating to 2017.
“People didn’t think we would be able to measure up to last year,” McDowell said. “But this year’s mentality is proving it. I really think we’re proving it so far.”
The Raptors (0-3, 0-2 Central) played their 22nd straight road game while awaiting the completion of Prevost Field. Coach Kyle Yeiter was encouraged with the way his players fought to the end, a last-ditch drive ending deep in Jaguars territory. Brandon Skabla completed a 60-yard throw to Aiden Roselle to get the Raptors close.
“They’re a very good team,” Yeiter said of the Jaguars. “We knew coming in this was what we were going to get. If you’re going to stop them you have to play every single play perfectly. And there were some plays in there on defense where we played every single play perfectly, and then we’d make mistakes.”
The Jaguars, meanwhile, entertained a noisy crowd that seemed to enjoy the outcome.
“I’m proud of the collective effort,” Van Wyk said. “We challenged them this week to live up to the Garnet Valley football standard of playing every play, finishing every play. I thought our guys really accepted that challenge tonight. We always talk about every season is a new season. Specifically, every season is a new senior season. And I’ve been really proud of our seniors and how they have stepped up each week and gotten better.”

Heat advisory goes into effect at 10 a.m.
DENVER — It has been a really hot start to September, and that trend will continue for two more days, until a big cooldown arrives Friday and Saturday.
The record for Sept. 7th is 95 degrees, set in 2013, and for the 8th, the record is 94 degrees, set in 1959. Highs both Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be in the upper 90s, prompting a heat advisory for the Denver metro area and parts of northern Colorado from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The average high in early September is in the low to mid-80s.
The heat will be accompanied by hazy, smoky skies — not from Colorado wildfires, but from fires burning in California, Oregon and Washington state.
The nice thing about Colorado is that cooler air is never too far away. Readings will be in the 70s and 80s in the mountains during the day and in the 40s to near 50 degrees overnight.
There will be a only a few gusty thunderstorms over the central mountains for the next few days. Despite the hot and dry weather, there are some reports of the aspen beginning to change color, keep an eye out for those first signs of gold!
A cold front will usher in showers and thunderstorms and cooler temperatures Friday, with more seasonal highs in the low 80s.
Saturday may feel much more like fall with highs in the mid 60s to around 70 degrees. There will be some scattered showers again on Saturday.
Sunday and Monday will be dry and warmer again, with highs back in the 80s.
