Paulo Costa has missed weight only once in his career. On that occasion, the fight had to be bumped up to a weight category above what the fighters had initially agreed upon. It was for his UFC Fight Night 196 middleweight bout against former divisional title challenger Marvin Vettori.
A few days before the event, the scheduled middleweight bout was moved to a 195lbs catchweight fight as Costa was having trouble making the limit. By the time the fight came around, it was ultimately contested at light heavyweight.
Watch Paulo Costa weigh in at 204.5 for his fight against Marvin Vettori below:
The Brazilian was fined 20 percent of his fight purse for the weight-missing debacle.
To make matters even worse, 'Borrachinha' ended up losing the fight via unanimous decision. After being deducted a point due to an eye poke at Vettori in the second round, all three scorecards read 46-48 in favor of the Italian.
'Borrachinha' was recently involved in an altercation with Khamzat Chimaev at the UFC PI. In an interview with InsideFighting YouTube Channel, the Brazilian spoke his mind about the Chechen-born welterweight's weight miss at UFC 279.
Paulo Costa speaks about Khamzat Chimaev missing weight at UFC 279
In a recent interview with InsideFighting YouTube Channel, Paulo Costa suggested that Khamzat Chimaev failed to make weight owing to the psychological ramifications in the wake of his scuffle with Costa at the UFC PI.
'Borrachinha' added that Chimaev was completely broken after the altercation:
"I was training with Jake Shields on Monday and he came in and he saw us... and his mind is broken on that time and I own him... He got [in] a lot of day after day... I [was] talking to one guy [from] his gym, he said he [Chimaev] just gave up to make weight. And you saw that when he [went] to the scales and smiling and make some fun s***s."
Watch Paulo Costa give his take on Khamzat Chimaev missing weight below:
Later in the interview, Costa called out 'Borz', asking him to move up to middleweight and fight him next.
The Brazilian holds a professional MMA record of 14 wins against two losses. In his latest octagon outing, Costa triumphed over former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold via unanimous decision.

New Delhi, Sep 9 (PTI) President Droupadi Murmu on Friday expressed concern over TB being the cause of the largest number of deaths among other infectious diseases in India, and made an appeal to make 'Pradhan Mantri TB-Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan' a mass movement.
Virtually launching the 'Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan', Murmu also said that most people affected by TB come from the poor section of society.

"It is the duty of all citizens to give high priority to 'Pradhan Mantri TB-Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan' and to make this campaign a mass movement. It is because TB causes the largest number of deaths among all other infectious diseases in our country," she said.
The President said India has a little less than 20 per cent of the world's population, but has more than 25 per cent of its TB patients, and it is a matter of concern.

She said that the thinking and methodology of “New India” is to make India a leading nation of the world, which was witnessed in India leading the world in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic.
Murmu said the policy of the “New India” to move forward with confidence is also visible in the field of TB eradication.
According to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, all nations have set a target to eradicate TB by 2030, she said.
"But the government of India has set the target of eradicating TB by the year 2025 and efforts are being made at every level to fulfil this resolution," she said.
The President said the campaign will only become a success when people are made aware about TB, and are informed that prevention of this disease is possible.
"Its treatment is effective and accessible and the government provides a free of cost facility for prevention and treatment of this disease," she said.
She also said that in some patients or communities, there is an inferiority complex associated with this disease and they view the disease as a stigma.
Murmu said this illusion also has to be eradicated and everyone should be aware that TB germs are often present in everyone's body.
"When the immunity of a person, due to some reason, decreases, then this disease expresses itself in the person.
"With treatment, one can definitely get rid of this disease. All these things should reach the people. Then the people affected by TB will be able to take advantage of the treatment facilities," she said.

The PGA Tour has confirmed suspensions of LIV Golf rebels will continue for the whole of next season.
Sports Illustrated reported it had received a copy of a letter sent to the players in question informing them they will not be allowed to play on the circuit in 2022/23.
• Phil Mickelson responds to PGA Tour shakeup
• Has Gary Player ditched Golf Saudi?
It means the likes of Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and Open champion Cam Smith – who have all joined LIV but not resigned their PGA Tour memberships - are barred from the circuit for at least 12 months.
"The terms of your contractual commitments to LIV Golf prohibit you from satisfying the material obligations set forth in the regulations and make clear that you have no intention to, and indeed cannot comply with these requirements of membership in the PGA Tour," read the letter, signed by the PGA Tour’s Kirsten Burgess.
"The Tour cannot enter into a membership agreement with a player when, as here, it reasonably anticipates the player will not perform the material obligations under that agreement. Accordingly, your PGA Tour membership cannot and will not be renewed for the 2022-2023 PGA Tour season."
Other LIV players, including Dustin Johnson and Lee Westwood, resigned their tour memberships when they signed for the Saudi-backed breakaway tour.
• Pro makes ace - then gets DQd
• Tour pro wins "worst hole-in-one prize ever"
But a number of others have launched legal action in a bid to be allowed to play, alleging anticompetitive behaviour on the part of the tour.
Hudson Swafford, Talor Gooch and Matt Jones had a bid to be allowed to play in the FedEx Cup playoffs thrown out in court last month.

New Delhi [India], September 9 (ANI): The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has told the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) that failure to hold elections and not addressing governance issues could result in its suspension.
This is the second time in two months that the international sports body has warned the IOA of consequences if it did not address governance-related issues. In July, the IOC stated that it will be "forced" to suspend the IOA if its "quadrennial elections" are not held within the next few weeks.

Earlier, the IOC had postponed its annual session, which was scheduled to take place in Mumbai in May 2023, on Thursday due to what it felt were "unresolved internal disagreements, governance inadequacies, and ongoing judicial challenges" encompassing the Indian Olympic Association.
The elections for the IOA were originally set for December last year. They were, however, put on hold due to following accusations that norms including the articles of the National Sports Code were not followed.
However, several concerns have arisen since the IOC's letter, including a power tussle within the IOA. While veteran administrator Anil Khanna responded to the previous IOC missive as the IOA's acting president, athlete-turned-administrator Adille Sumariwalla declared last month that he is the national body's new interim boss.
The IOC announced a joint meeting with "all parties" later this month in Lausanne in Switzerland. The IOC Session, which was scheduled to take place in Mumbai in mid-2023, however, has been postponed.
The hosting of the IOC Session in Mumbai was considered a significant step forward for India in sports diplomacy as some of the top officials were set to attend. The hosts of the 2030 Winter Olympics, as well as the sports programmes for the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 2028 Los Angeles Games, were expected to be finalised during the session, with cricket being one of the sports vying for inclusion in the latter.
However, the latest IOC missive has put the onus on the Indian sports body to set its house in order. Significantly, the IOC warning comes just days after the suspension of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) was revoked. (ANI)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Security-sealed rooms. Lock bags. And in the most rare of circumstances, the ability to handcuff a document pouch to a messenger to transport the nation’s secrets.
These are some of the ways Capitol Hill keeps classified documents secured, an elaborate system of government protocols and high-level security clearances that stands in stark contrast to the storage room stash of secrets at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
As the Justice Department’s probe into the Republican former president’s possession of White House materials deepens, lawmakers of both parties have more questions than answers. Intelligence officials have offered to brief congressional leaders, possibly as soon as next week, senators said, as they launch a lengthy risk assessment. Congress had asked for the briefing soon after the revelation of the unprecedented Aug. 8 search, but it may be delayed by the legal fight between Trump and the government.
“We need to be able to do appropriate oversight for the Intelligence Committee so that we have a better handle on how this particular incident was handled, but so that we avoid problems like this in the future,“ said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.
A culture of secrecy may not necessarily be expected from Capitol Hill, where 535 elected members of Congress, alongside thousands of aides and countless more visitors broker information on a daily basis as a routine part of governing.
Secrets large and small — from the most mundane details about when an upcoming vote will be scheduled to the parlor intrigue of transitional alliances — are among the more valued bits of currency that pass through the place.
But when it comes to classified materials, the stream of information tends to clamp shut.
Lawmakers who serve on the House and Senate Intelligence committees are traditionally among the most publicly tight-lipped about their work, and staff for those panels must obtain security clearances to handle the documents and perform their jobs. Others serving on committees dealing with military affairs and certain national security funds face similar restrictions.
When members of Congress want to peruse classified materials, they descend deep into the basement of the Capitol to a sensitive compartmented information facility, known as a SCIF. Other SCIFs are scattered throughout the Capitol complex.
If documents need to be ferried in or out of secure locations, they are typically transported in a lock bag, a briefcase-sized pouch under lock and key.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Penn., a member of the Intelligence Committee, said staff will often use a lock bag even simply to transport materials from committee offices to a SCIF some 30 feet (9 meters) away.
“The idea that anyone would leave any building or any room with those documents not secure — it’s just, the word is, unfathomable,” Casey said in an interview.
In rare instances, a document pouch can be handcuffed to a person’s wrist for travel, though several senators and staff said they have never seen that happen.
“I’ve only seen that in movies,” said Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, the top-ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee.
Trump’s alleged mishandling of the documents has stunned lawmakers of both parties, even those Republicans critical of the Justice Department’s unusual search of a former president. Court filings from the federal government say hundreds of classified records have been retrieved from Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., all but warned of Trump’s handling of sensitive documents early in the then-president’s term. A photo from a White House press briefing in 2017 showed Trump and others in the Oval Office with a lock bag visible on the desk, the key still inside.
“Never leave a key in a classified lock bag in the presence of non-cleared people. #Classified101,” tweeted Heinrich, a member of the Intelligence Committee, days after the February 2017 incident. He asked for a review.
In an interview this past week, Heinrich said, “It is outrageous to think — the cavalier nature with which the former president treats information, that can have life or death consequences for our sources, is unfathomable.“
Trump amassed more than a dozen boxes of papers and other mementos from the White House, many held in a storage room at Mar-a-Lago. The FBI’s search came after a protracted battle over missing documents launched soon after Trump left the White House in 2021.
Trump attorneys had insisted early in the summer after the first delivery of returned documents that there was nothing left at the former president’s club. Upon inspection, the FBI asked the storage room to be put under lock and key. Ultimately a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago was obtained and more than 100 other documents with classified markings were found. Now, the Justice Department is investigating the Trump team’s handling of the documents and possible obstruction.
Cornyn expressed skepticism the stashed documents held critical information.
“It’s hard for me to believe it was particularly sensitive — it’s been sitting at Mar-a-Lago for a year and a half before they do anything about it,” he said.
Still, when it comes to handling classified documents, Cornyn noted: “There are ways to secure it, but it’s not — under no circumstance, should it be in your home.”
Retribution for breaking secrets on Capitol Hill can be swift and severe. In the 1980s, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., announced he would leave the Intelligence Committee after acknowledging that he had allowed a reporter to review a not classified but still “committee confidential” draft report on the Contra wars in Latin America. More recently, a former senior staff member of the Senate panel was charged with lying to investigators about his interactions with journalists.
Immediately after the Mar-a-Lago search, Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic chairman of the intelligence committee, and Rubio jointly asked the director of national intelligence for an assessment of the damage to national security that would result from disclosure of the documents.
“My issue is not whether the documents belong there or not, because ultimately they shouldn’t have been stored there and they could have been removed,“ Rubio said in an interview. “The question is: Was there good faith efforts made by the federal government to retrieve those documents without resorting to a raid of a former president’s home?”
The intelligence office was expected to provide a bipartisan briefing for the so-called gang of eight — the top four leaders of the House and the Senate, along with the House and Senate intelligence committee leaders.
But it is uncertain now, due to Trump’s litigation, whether the Office of the Director of National Intelligence will be able to continue the assessment or provide the briefing to lawmakers.
Warner said he was asking for at least an interim risk assessment.
Senators expect the gang of eight briefing could happen next week, when the House and Senate are both back in session — but only in a secure location.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee man accused of killing four people and wounding three others in a livestreamed shooting rampage that paralyzed Memphis and led to a city-wide manhunt was granted a public defender during Friday morning court appearance and will remain jailed on a first-degree murder charge.
Ezekiel Kelly, 19, told a judge he could not afford a lawyer for accusations in Wednesday’s attack that caused panic and fear across the city.
Additional charges are expected. District Attorney Steve Mulroy said outside court that bond is not warranted due to the violent nature of the alleged crimes.
The hours-long rampage had police warning residents to shelter in place, locking down a baseball stadium and university campuses and suspending public bus services as frightened residents wondered where the man might strike next. Kelly was arrested late Wednesday after crashing a stolen car while fleeing police.
The violence unfolded just a few months after Kelly was released early from a three-year prison sentence for a pair of shootings in 2020.
The bloodshed played out as the city was still reeling from the brutal killing of jogger Eliza Fletcher who was abducted during her early morning run less than a week earlier.
“This has been a horrific week for the city of Memphis,” Police Director Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said.
Authorities offered no explanation Thursday of a possible motive. Nor did they say how Kelly managed to obtain the gun or guns used in the attacks.
The Shelby County public defender’s office did not return a call seeking comment on Kelly’s case.
Memphis has also been shaken by other high-profile killings in recent weeks, including the shooting of a pastor during a daylight carjacking in her driveway and the shooting of an activist during an argument over money.
Mayor Jim Strickland told reporters Thursday he was outraged that Kelly had been released early from prison in March after pleading guilty last year to aggravated assault charges.
“This is no way for us to live, and it is not acceptable,” said Strickland, who later pounded the podium as he demanded accountability. He added: “If Mr. Kelly served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today, and four of our fellow citizens would still be alive.”
In February 2020, Kelly, then 17, was charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder and other crimes in two shootings committed a few hours apart. Both victims survived but did not cooperate with prosecutors, according to court records, and Kelly pleaded guilty to reduced charges of aggravated assault in April 2021.
Kelly was sentenced to three years in prison, but was released in March after serving just over two years behind bars, including credit he received for time he was jailed prior to his plea.
Juvenile Court records reviewed by The Associated Press showed both shootings took place when it was dark outside and when both victims were helping other people move. Gunshots came from a car with more than one person inside on both occasions, records showed.
The man who was shot in the chest testified he was hit while trying to take cover and the shots lasted five minutes. He positively identified Kelly in court, records showed.
“Given the defendant’s age, previous contacts with the Court and the nature of the delinquent acts, the Court does not believe there is specific time to rehabilitate the child by use of procedures, services and facilities available to the Court in this state,” a court order said.
Months before his release, Kelly was denied parole in September 2021.
Ahead of that decision, he said at a parole board hearing that he had left high school during 11th grade because he had an anger management problem. On an assessment for inmate risks and needs, a parole hearing official said he scored high for “violent,” according to a recording of the hearing.
“I was going to anger management,” Kelly, then 18, said at the hearing. “I didn’t know how to cope with it at the time because I was a teenager.”
He said he had been “affiliated” – meaning, with a gang – but wasn’t anymore, saying, “as I got older, I separated myself from that type of groups.” He said he previously worked at a fast-food restaurant and a poetry club.
At the time, his fiancée wrote a letter to parole officials, saying the couple had talked about Kelly going to trade school and starting a new life.
In recommending against parole, the hearing officer in part cited “the seriousness of your offense, being that someone was shot – I know that you said that you weren’t there – but you do have the conviction.”

Trump ambassador Kelly Craft joins Kentucky governor's race
FRANKFORT, Ky. — (AP) — Former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft launched her long-anticipated campaign for Kentucky governor on Wednesday, saying the state's “best days are ahead of us” as she joined a crowded lineup of Republicans competing to challenge Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear next year.
Craft quickly landed a key endorsement from U.S. Rep. James Comer, who represents a conservative western Kentucky district.
“I’m all in for her,” Comer told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “She has a work ethic that’s second to none. ... And I’m pretty confident that within 30 days she’ll be at the top of the polling. And I feel like she’s got what it takes to close the deal and not just win the primary but become our next governor.”
Craft spent years cultivating connections within the GOP as she and her husband, coal magnate Joe Craft, donated millions of dollars to Republican candidates. That gives her advantages as she transitions from party activist to political candidate — she enters the fray with the ability to tap into her family's wealth to finance her campaign and a resume from Republican Donald Trump's presidency.
But Trump has already endorsed another GOP candidate in the race — Attorney General Daniel Cameron — and Beshear's campaign portrayed Craft as “out-of-touch" with Kentucky's voters while touting the governor's economic stewardship and handling of tornado and flood disasters.
Craft pointed to her Kentucky roots in a campaign announcement that offered broad themes rather than policy positions.
“I’m running for governor because I know our best days are ahead of us," Craft said in a news release. “This movement is for all of us who still believe that we can lead in education, that government doesn’t get a seat at our kitchen table and that our kids should grow up in safe neighborhoods.”
For more than a year, political insiders from both major parties in Kentucky had wondered if, or when, Craft would enter the hotly contested GOP primary for governor. The party votes are in May 2023 and the general election is in November 2023, but some of her GOP rivals have already secured dozens of endorsements.
While Craft is well-known in political circles, she'll need to build name recognition with the Kentucky electorate. She began with an introductory video describing a rural upbringing that led to boardrooms and the United Nations.
“People said I was just some small-town girl, but my dad showed me that it's where I'm from that got me to where I am today,” Craft, a veterinarian’s daughter, said in the video.
Beshear's campaign quickly tried to shape its own narrative, casting Craft as an outsider.
“We welcome Kelly Craft to both Kentucky and to the governor’s race,” Beshear campaign strategist Eric Hyers said in a statement. “She’s an out-of-touch billionaire who ... will likely spend millions and millions of dollars to try to convince Kentuckians she cares about them.”
Hyers said Craft was a leading financial backer for the campaign of Kentucky's last Republican governor, Matt Bevin, who was narrowly ousted by Beshear in 2019.
Another GOP gubernatorial candidate, state Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles, didn't name Craft in his response to her entry.
“All the candidates in this race are friends of mine and I expect a spirited primary," Quarles said in a statement. “We are focused on building a grassroots, people-first campaign that unites Kentucky.”
Trump first appointed Craft as U.S. ambassador to Canada, where she played a role in facilitating the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, Trump’s long-sought revamp of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The updated trade deal has benefited workers, farmers and businesses in Kentucky and across the country, Craft's campaign release said Wednesday.
In 2019, Trump appointed Craft to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
But her connections with Trump, who easily carried Kentucky in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, were neutralized by the former president's endorsement this year of Cameron's bid for governor in the Bluegrass State. Cameron's campaign debuted a digital ad Wednesday touting the Trump endorsement.
Other GOP candidates for governor include state Auditor Mike Harmon and state Rep. Savannah Maddox. Maddox has been endorsed by Republican U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, who represents a northern Kentucky district.
Craft was born in Lexington — the state's second-largest city — and was raised on her family's farm near Glasgow in south-central Kentucky.
The Crafts have been major donors in supporting academic initiatives and institutions in the state, and she stressed her commitment to education in her campaign rollout. She pledged to direct “maximum financial resources” to support education, calling it the “most important duty” for government, while cautioning that it “has to be in partnership with parents."
Kentucky has tilted decidedly toward the GOP in recent years, but Beshear has consistently received strong approval ratings from Kentuckians in polls.
The Democratic governor is expected to highlight his management of the state's economy in asking voters for a second term. Kentucky has posted records for job creation and investments during his term and has recorded its lowest-ever unemployment rates.
Beshear also has won bipartisan praise for his administration's responses to epic natural disasters — tornadoes that tore through western Kentucky last December and historic flooding that swamped parts of eastern Kentucky in late July.

The new king of the United Kingdom, King Charles lll has expressed love for his second son, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex despite their rift with the royal family.
King Charles made this known on Friday, September 9, 2022, in his first address to Britain and his Commonwealth realms.
The king extended love to Harry and his wife, who live outside of the royal palace.
He said, “I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
The couple had in January 2020 announced that they were stepping back from their role as senior members of the royal family and would balance their time between the United Kingdom and North America.
Prince Harry had criticised his father in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. The prince condemned his father’s parenting style while he was dealing with the death of his mother, Princess Diana, the former Princess of Wales.

At the 2022 U.S. Open tennis tournament, which wraps up this weekend in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., technology has won: game, set, match.
Human line judges at the tournament have been entirely replaced by optical technology to determine whether balls are ruled in or out. Immediately after impact, a recorded voice shouts out the call: "FAULT!" for a wayward serve; "OUT!" for a ball that lands long or wide in a rally.
Gone are player challenges to questionable calls. No more furious players spewing venom at umpires for a ruling that went against them.
By replacing human line judges with the optical system called Hawk-Eye Live, "we're providing the players a fairer playing field with a lot more integrity, a much higher accuracy call," says Sean Cary, who oversees officiating for the United States Tennis Association (USTA), which runs the U.S. Open.
In the past, Cary says, when a player challenged a line judge's call and it was reviewed through the Hawk-Eye tracking system, the human turned out to be correct about 75% of the time.
Now, Cary tells NPR, "the automated line calling system is right pretty much 100% of the time."
Put another way: "We are millimeter accurate in terms of our line calling," says Benjamin Figueiredo, director of tennis at Hawk-Eye Innovations.
Some players say Hawk-Eye is not foolproof, and does occasionally make erroneous calls. But most seem to support the shift.
"It's pretty tough to argue with a computer. You always lose that battle," says professional tennis player Noah Rubin, who competed at the U.S. Open from 2013-2019 at the junior and men's levels and was the 2014 Wimbledon junior boys' champion. Automated line calling, he says, "takes away that anxiety of, 'I really hope the line judge or chair umpire doesn't mess this one up.' "
Hawk-Eye Live uses 12 cameras to track the path of the ball through space.
"No sensors. No lasers," says the company's Figueiredo. "It's all through optical tracking. ... The entire system is calibrated to the court. And the cameras essentially identify the X, Y, Z position at any given point."
When the ball lands out, he says, "we're automatically triggering the noises that you hear on court through the P.A. system... to call 'fault' or 'out' calls in the same way that you're used to a line judge doing that."
The U.S. Open's pivot to Hawk-Eye Live came in 2020, at the early peak of the COVID pandemic. To minimize the risk of infection spread, the tournament eliminated nearly all line judges, instead using Hawk-Eye Live on all but the two main courts. Tournament officials thought the system worked so well that now they use it exclusively.
With the switch to automation, about 250 line judges lost their jobs at the U.S. Open. But some of their voices live on: the recorded calls heard during play include the voices of line judges who went into a studio inside Arthur Ashe Stadium and, essentially, recorded their swan songs.
There are a variety of officials' voices in the database, male and female, calling plays with a range of dynamics and urgency.
"The thing that I think is really cool," says the USTA's Cary, "is that we've been able to program the system to know that if the ball is way out, it's going to be a softer out call. But if it's a really close one, like it would be with a live line umpire, they generally yell at the top of their voices to make sure everyone hears it."
Just like a baseball umpire, they're selling the call.
"Yes," agrees Cary. "Selling the call is a great way of explaining it."
Fewer people means a 'cleaner' court
Along with greater accuracy, Cary says there's another advantage to replacing line judges with automation. Now, with nine fewer people on the court, he says, "we're providing a much cleaner court for our broadcast partners and our sponsorship partners."
In other words, the TV networks and corporate sponsors are happier because the screen has less clutter – though Cary balks at that word: "I mean," he says, "clutter's not necessarily a nice word to call human beings."
The absence of line judges, however welcome, still strikes player Noah Rubin as visually odd.
"I'm usually not a tennis traditionalist," he says, "but there's something about having those line judges dressed up in the back of the court making the calls. There's definitely something missing there. It looks pretty empty on the courts."
But, he adds, "I think this is where sports have to get to. There's too much on the line to be decided by a missed call, by human error."
Other tournaments besides the U.S. Open have turned exclusively to Hawk-Eye Live instead of human line judges — including the Australian Open. There, the prerecorded voices making calls have included front-line workers who responded to both the COVID pandemic and wildfires, and the Aussie actress Rebel Wilson, who's a passionate tennis fan.
Last year, Hawk-Eye Innovation's Figueiredo caused a stir when he told the Sydney Morning Herald that his company had held discussions about replacing the "fault" and "out" calls with the names of sponsors shouted out instead.
"It's quite interesting," he said at the time. "You could have 'Ralph Lauren' being shouted out. That might wind a few people up after a while. It's certainly a possibility, yeah."
Asked about that prospect by NPR, Figueiredo responds cagily.
"Um ... there have been historical discussions that have been had," he says. "It's — um, it's not something that at the minute I guess anyone's particularly — well, has followed up on at the moment. ... It has previously been talked about. I guess I'd rather not go into details."
As for the U.S. Open, the USTA's Sean Cary predicts that automated line calling is here to stay: "Because we're providing a a fairer and more even contest to the players, with a higher level of integrity," he says, "it would be very difficult for us to move backwards now."

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) provided the federal government with two months for taking measures to ensure that missing persons are recovered, a private TV channel reported. “No official has done their job […] we will hold everyone responsible if another missing persons case is filed in this court,” IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah said while hearing a case of missing persons, including journalist Mudassar Naro. During the hearing, the court not only summoned the prime minister, but Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar also appeared before the IHC. The court said that the federal government failed to listen to the families of missing persons. The court wants the issue to be solved and this is the reason that it asked the prime minister to appear before it, Justice Minallah said. Addressing the prime minister, Justice Minallah said that it was a major issue but the state failed to react in the way it should have. The justice said that the situation was too complex and that unfortunately, a person who remained chief executive of the country for nine years wrote that people were picked up and sent to other countries. This shows that it was a state policy, said Justice Minallah. He also said that the court appreciated the fact that the current government has formed a cabinet committee on the issue. Justice Minallah then termed the practice of “making people go missing the biggest form of torture” and a “deviation from the Constitution”. “This court is a constitutional court … This court will look at the Constitution. There is no bigger issue than this,” he further remarked. The law minister requested more time and sought at least two months to resolve the issue after which the IHC CJ Minallah adjourned the hearing till November 14. At the outset of the hearing, IHC CJ Minallah told PM Shehbaz that the court has troubled him as the case is about a major issue. The IHC chief justice remarked that the state is not responding as per its responsibility. “A chief executive ruled this country for nine years. He proudly wrote in his book that he sold his people abroad,” IHC CJ Minallah said. It seems like it was probably the “state’s policy”, he said. “The court considered it appropriate to tell you [premier] what the issue actually is. The commission was formed to address the issue of missing persons but the proceedings were hurtful,” the IHC chief justice said. He said that the things Amina Masood Janjua told about the commission’s conduct are extremely painful and intolerable. IHC CJ Minallah expressed annoyance that no work was done despite continuous assurances and the formation of committees by the authorities. “There are detention centres from where people have been recovered but no action was taken,” he said. He said that the state is responsible for redressing the sufferings of missing persons’ [families]. “The state is not helpless. It is the state’s responsibility if someone goes missing. Disappearing citizens is equal to breaching the Constitution,” the IHC CJ said. He said that the chief executive of the province or the Centre, wherever a person goes missing from, is responsible. The IHC CJ said enforced disappearances are a deviation from the Constitution. “Otherwise, you’ll have to say that the Constitution is not in its original form,” he said. He said that the prime minister has the national security of Pakistan in his hands and the problems of this country will be resolved when the Constitution is fully restored. Meanwhile, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that it was his duty to respond to the court’s summons and appear before it. “The child [son of a missing person] requested me to reunite him with his father. This sentence of the child was extremely worrisome for me therefore I will not waste a single chance to fulfill my responsibility,” the premier said while assuring the court of making efforts to reunite missing persons with their families.

World Superbikes: Alvaro Bautista takes victory as Jonathan Rea and Toprak Razgatlioglu crash
Last updated on .From the section Northern Ireland
Alvaro Bautista extended his lead at the top of the World Superbike standings to 56 points by taking victory in the first feature race of the weekend at Magny-Cours in France.
Bautista won by four seconds from Scott Redding, with Axel Bassani third.
Bautista's title rivals Jonathan Rea and Toprak Razgatlioglu crashed out but re-mounted, with the latter finishing 11th and the former one lap down.
Rea sits second in the championship, two points ahead of Razgatlioglu.
The French round sees the resumption of the series after a six-week mid-season break, with six rounds having already been staged and six, including this weekend's races, yet to take place.
Kawasaki rider Rea and defending champion Razgatlioglu had set the identical joint-quickest time in qualifying and both the Northern Irishman and the Turk were involved in a four-way battle at the front, before crashing out in separate incidents on laps two and three respectively.
Both managed to drag their bikes out of the gravel, although Rea's Kawasaki looked more battered than Razgatlioglu's Yamaha.
Ducati-mounted Bautista and BMW rider Redding were left to contend for the lead, with the Italian subsequently pulling clear of his rival to take the chequered flag.
Loris Baz was involved in a tussle for the final podium spot but also crashed and re-mounted while Michael Ruben Rinaldi ran into gravel before re-joining the race.
Rea has now gone 10 races without registering a win, his worst run since 2019 when he went 11 races at the start of the season without victory.
The Superpole place will take place at 10:00 BST on Sunday, followed by the second feature race at 13:00 BST.

How Retirement Savers Should Prep for The End of the Bull Market
In 2022 the S&P 500 had its worst annual first-half in five decades. With the tailwinds that buoyed global economies during the pandemic recovery gone, those who are saving for retirement should take several steps to weather the drop-off in stock and bond returns, including adding more growth-oriented assets to their portfolios, according to T. Rowe Price’s 2022 U.S. Retirement Market Outlook.
A financial advisor can help you plan for the future, including saving for retirement. Find a local advisor today.
Why Investors Can Expect Lower Returns
Despite the economic turmoil wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the stock market surged in 2021 to new heights since a mass sell-off in March 2020. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite climbed to all-time highs amid vaccine distributions and increased economic activity.
The stock market’s recent run comes on the heels of the longest bull market in history, which spanned 2009 to 2020. Since 2009, the S&P 500 has only posted one losing year for total returns (2018). In fact, the index has posted total annual returns of more than 15% in seven of those 12 years. The index, which tracks the performance of 500 large public companies, was up more than 25% in 2021.
But the T. Rowe Price report, which was issued in the fall of 2021, warned of less robust returns.
“We believe midterm returns will be lower than those seen in previous periods – in some cases considerably lower. This has significant ramifications for retirement plans and whom they benefit,” the firm stated in its report.
The financial services firm first pointed to fixed-income markets and the near-historic low interest rates – now being raised by the Federal Reserve. That’s a trend the firm expected to continue. As for the equity markets, “We expect returns in many large markets such as the U.S. to be restrained relative to recent history,” it added. “While valuations across asset classes vary, and some assets are attractively valued, the valuations of most assets are elevated on these measures.”
Lastly, T. Rowe Price pointed to several risks that markets face, including inflation – which was at a 40-year high in June 2022. While fiscal stimulus, earnings growth and economic activity have all helped propel the pandemic recovery, inflationary fears were evident in late 2021. In October 2021, for example, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 6.2% compared to 12 months earlier, the largest increase since 1990.
The risks extend beyond U.S. markets. The T. Rowe Price report noted that China is facing supply chain disruptions and rising commodities prices. Elsewhere, virus mutations and vaccine rollout challenges may also hamper investment returns.
“While the global economy has been buoyed by a period of extreme liquidity driven by fiscal and monetary stimulus, these tailwinds are likely to fade as central banks begin to pursue more moderate policies,” the report stated. “Although these conditions may not materialize as significant headwinds for growth, we believe they contribute to a less compelling risk/reward profile going forward. Retirement investors will need to be positioned accordingly.”
How Retirement Savers Can Respond
Investors who are saving for retirement have three options for meeting the challenge of lower-than-expected future returns:
Save more or delay retirement: T. Rowe Price acknowledges this may be the “least attractive” option, however saving more or simply delaying retirement can help offset lower returns. By delaying retirement, a person can reduce the number of years for which they’ll need retirement income. Postponing retirement and working longer can also enable a person to claim Social Security later. Delaying Social Security beyond full retirement age will result in a larger benefit.
Acquire more growth-seeking assets: The second option may mean increasing a portfolio’s equity composition or introducing fixed-income securities that offer higher returns. This can lead to more risk, but a target date fund with a growth-oriented glide path may be a good option for doing so, especially for investors whose retirements are still years away, T. Rowe Price said.
Limit spending in retirement: The third and final option is to limit spending in retirement. “T. Rowe Price analysis of retirees’ spending habits reveals that retirees tend to adjust their spending to their income,” the report states. “Most of the retirees who do adjust their spending have the means and flexibility to do so. The poorest households, however, cannot spend less.”
Bottom Line
As the U.S. and other nations continue to wade through high inflation and a slowing economy, T. Rowe Price warns that investors should expect lower returns. To limit the impact of lower investment returns, those planning for retirement can simply save more or delay retirement. They can also add more growth-seeking assets to their portfolios, or adjust their spending habits in retirement.

Ever since Daniel Craig bid adieu to his famous British spy agent character, the makers of the upcoming 26th film in the franchise are looking for a new actor to carry forward the legacy. Daniel Craig ended his stint with the 2021 film No Time To Die after being a part of the franchise for 15 years. Now, a league of A-list celebrities are being considered for the role, which also includes Idris Elba. Recently, Idris Elba reacted to the speculations of him playing the next British spy.
As per a recent report by Deadline, Idris Elba addressed the speculation of him portraying James Bond in the upcoming films during the latest episode of the podcast The Shop. During the episode, Elba opened up about his popularity to play Bond as he revealed that wherever he goes, his fans point at him and call him "Bond!" However, the Thor star bluntly said he does not believe playing the spy role is a goal of his career, but he thinks that his taking up the role will satisfy the "will of a nation."
He said, "Every corner of the world I go — and I’m talking about different cultures — they always go: ‘Bond!'" The actor further added, "It is not a goal for my career. I don’t think that you know, playing Bond will satisfy some of my personal goals." However, "It will definitely satisfy the will of a nation."
Elba further called the discussions of him playing Bond a good thing. Elba also said, "I’m not that guy, but in everyone’s world I might be. And that – job done. Because the truth is, you know, a lot of people are really seeing Idris playing Bond as the ‘alternative Bond.’ And as long as that alternative is existing, that’s great for the growth of f**king casting."
Meanwhile, the makers of the film are currently focusing on the movie's plot. Moreover, the script of the upcoming film has not been locked yet. The search for the next James Bond is still far off.

Ollie Robinson leads England charge as third Test begins after tributes to Queen
Ollie Robinson boosted England’s bid for an LV= Insurance series victory as South Africa lurched to 69 for six at lunch following a moving tribute to the Queen on day three of the third Test.
A minute’s silence was followed by the national anthems of both countries, with the crowd joining in the rendition of God Save the King before bursting into spontaneous and prolonged applause as a sell-out Kia Oval poignantly commemorated the Queen, whose death was announced on Thursday evening.
The final Test has been reduced to a three-day affair following an opening-day washout and Friday being called off as a mark of respect, with the tourists ruling out the possibility of extending the decider and instead sticking to their original plan of flying back to South Africa on Tuesday.
But England’s seamers capitalised on just enough movement under leaden skies to send South Africa’s top order into a tailspin and raise hopes of the hosts ending a fruitful summer with a sixth win.
Robinson, in particular, was at his probing best, striking in his first over by sending Dean Elgar’s stump cartwheeling after breaching the gate of the South Africa captain as the England seamer bowled eight overs unchanged, claiming four for 21 and sending his Test bowling average into the teens.
Both Proteas openers were back in the pavilion after 14 balls as James Anderson, featuring in his 175th Test, drew the edge of Sarel Erwee and a diving Ben Foakes accepted the first of his four catches in the opening session.
Keegan Petersen unwisely shouldered arms to a nip-backer from Robinson, deceived by the length, while the returning Ryan Rickelton was drawn into driving in Broad’s first over but only succeeded in edging behind to Foakes.
Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder were snared by the rampaging Robinson either side of the drinks interval to leave South Africa reeling on 36 for six, with Khaya Zondo, in only his second Test, and seam bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen left to pick up the pieces after a monumental top-order collapse.
Zondo clubbed Jack Leach for six as South Africa avoided any further dismissals before lunch but it was still England firmly in the driving seat.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a court order that would have forced Yeshiva University to recognize an LGBTQ group as an official campus club.
The court acted Friday in a brief order signed by Justice Sonia Sotomayor that indicated the court would have more to say on the topic at some point.
The university, an Orthodox Jewish institution in New York, argued that granting recognition to the group, the YU Pride Alliance, “would violate its sincere religious beliefs.”
On the other side, the club said Yeshiva already has recognized a gay pride club at its law school.
A New York state court sided with the student group and ordered the university to recognize the club immediately. The matter is on appeal in the state court system, but judges there refused to put the order on hold in the meantime.
The Supreme Court has been very receptive to religious freedom claims in recent years.
In June, conservatives who hold a 6-3 majority struck down a Maine program prohibiting state funds from being spent at religious schools and ruled a high school football coach in Washington state has the right to pray on the field after games.

WASHINGTON—Members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol are returning to work to plan a new round of televised hearings expected later this month, hoping to recapture the public’s attention after Congress’s August break.
One focus of the hearings is likely to be the concerns among cabinet officials about then-President Donald Trump’s actions during and after the riot by his supporters, including any discussions about possibly using the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to try to remove him from power. Under the amendment, a majority of the cabinet, with the vice president, can temporarily unseat the president if they find him unable to discharge his duties.

Wyndham acquires the Vienna House brand from Berlin-based HR Group, which will continue to own or lease and operate existing Vienna House hotels under long-term franchise agreements with Wyndham.

Together with Wyndham’s current presence in Europe, the combined portfolio of more than 400 hotels in more than 30 countries will provide business and leisure travelers with an offering of branded hotel options across the region.

“Over the past 30 years, the Vienna House brand has built a highly-recognized name for travelers in many European countries,” said Dimitris Manikis, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts President for Europe, Middle East, Eurasia, and Africa (EMEA). “The acquisition of the Vienna House brand and our expanded collaboration with our trusted partner, HR Group, mark a key step in expanding our market presence even further, adding immediate scale and capability and supporting our ambitions for growth in important destinations across EMEA.”
Vienna House is a hospitality brand across Europe catering to business and leisure travelers with a portfolio of hotels including both Vienna House and Vienna House Easy hotels, located in many destinations across Europe, including Berlin, Munich, Prague, Krakow, Bucharest, and more.

Stanton Healthcare Calls Upon the White House to Include Life-affirming Clinics at the 'United We Stand Summit' Against Violence on September 15
NEWS PROVIDED BY
Stanton Healthcare
Aug. 25, 2022
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 2022 /Christian Newswire/ -- Just last week, the Biden Administration announced President Biden will host the "United We Stand Summit" at the White House to "counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety." See link: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-hosting-unity-summit-against-hate-fueled-violence/
In an email sent to the White House and Domestic Policy Advisor, Susan E. Rice, Stanton states:
"Since May 2, life-affirming centers like Stanton Healthcare and churches all across American have been subjected to violent and hateful attacks because of their pro-life beliefs and values.
"In fact, like so many other centers, Stanton had to spend thousands of dollars to hire private security firms to protect us from fire bombing, vandalism, death threats and other acts of violence. We live daily under the threat of violence."
Pregnancy Resource Center that was Recently Firebombed
In light of these attacks, Stanton Healthcare is asking the White House to include them as a participant in the "United We Stand Summit." Stanton would be a representative of the thousands of life-affirming clinics, centers and churches that face these threats of violence.
Stanton Healthcare is a women's healthcare provider which specializes in serving women with unexpected pregnancies by providing professional medical care, practical and emotional support, women's wellness care, and a special outreach to refugee and marginalized communities. Stanton is based in Idaho with affiliates across the U.S. and internationally.
Stanton is part of a women's movement which has over 3,000 pregnancy resource centers across the nation.
Brandi Swindell, Founder and CEO of Stanton Healthcare, states:
"For those who disagree with the Supreme Court's decision on Roe v. Wade, directing revenge and retaliation on centers like Stanton Healthcare is misguided, hateful, anti-women and must be personally condemned and stopped immediately by the Biden Administration and federal law enforcement. All Americans should be free to peacefully express their beliefs in the public square without the fear of violence and hate.
"This is why it is so important for Stanton to be involved in the United We Stand Summit. There must be a voice for the thousands of life-affirming centers that are under attack."
Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Chief Strategy Officer for the Stanton Public Policy Center, comments:
"If life-affirming centers are excluded from this summit, it will clearly show the event has become politicized and the Biden Administration is only concerned about violence against communities, organizations and ideologies they agree with and politically support. It would be tragic if that happened as President Biden must call for an end to violence against all Americans.
"With the future of abortion being such an important conversation taking place across America, it is critical for millions of pro-life Americans to know the Biden Administration will not tolerate violence and hate against our community. Simply stated, we do not feel safe."

Wall Street added to its recent gains Friday with a broad rally that broke the market's three-week losing streak.
The S&P 500 closed 1.5% higher, its third straight increase, and ended with a 3.7% gain for the week. That makes it the benchmark index's best week going back to July.
Big gains for technology companies pushed the Nasdaq composite to a 2.1% gain, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.2%. Both indexes also notched their first weekly gain in four weeks.
The latest gains punctuated a holiday-shortened week of trading on Wall Street during which the market regained some of the ground it lost after a mid-August slump that wiped away the much of the gains from a mid-summer rally.
A weaker dollar and a reversal among short-sellers - traders who bet that the market will go lower -- appeared to be responsible for some of the rally Friday, said Sameer Samana, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute.
"You had a little bit of a positive catalyst in the dollar coming off today, and lo and behold that extreme positioning had to kind of be unwound," he said. "We probably wouldn't read too much into it. For us, anyway, the trend in (stocks) remains lower."
The S&P 500 rose 61.18 points to 4,067.36. The index is still down about 15% so far this year.
The Dow added 377.19 points to 32,151.71, while the Nasdaq rose 250.18 points to 12,112.31.
Technology stocks and retailers had some of the biggest gains. Microsoft rose 2.3% and Amazon rose 2.7%.
DocuSign jumped 10.5% after the electronic signature company reported strong second-quarter sales and raised its subscription forecast.
All 11 industry sectors in the benchmark S&P 500 rose, though makers of household goods and utilities, which are typically considered less risky investments, lagged the market. U.S. crude oil prices rose 3.9%, helping push up energy sector stocks. Exxon Mobil rose 1.7%.
Smaller company stocks also notched solid gains. The Russell 2000 index rosed 35.94 points, or 1.9%, to 1,882.85.
Bond yields mostly rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences interest rates on mortgages and other loans, slipped to 3.31 from 3.33% late Thursday. The two-year Treasury yield, which tends to track expectations for actions by the Federal Reserve, rose to 3.57% from 3.51%.
The Fed has been the main focus for investors as they try to figure out whether the central bank's plan to cool the hottest inflation in four decades will work or possibly trip an already slowing economy into a recession.
Stocks spent July and part of August gaining ground on hopes that the Fed would ease up on its interest rate hikes, but slumped over the last few weeks as it became clear the central bank remained resolute in raising rates.
The central bank has already raised rates four times this year and markets expect it to deliver another jumbo-sized increase of three-quarters of a percentage point at its next meeting in two weeks. Fed officials, including Chair Jerome Powell, have all reaffirmed the central bank's determination in raising rates until inflation is under control.
That has left investors closely watching economic data for any sign that inflation might be cooling. The calendar for such updates will be busy next week.
The Labor Department will release its report on consumer prices for August on Tuesday and a report on wholesale prices on Wednesday. On Thursday, Wall Street will get an update on retail sales for August.

Our Verdict
The Wandering Village launches into early access as a complete city-building simulator experience, but with plenty of room to grow. Minor bugs and quality-of-life improvements can go a long way to complete the player experience for this otherwise beautiful world that offers a unique look at the way humans impact the world around them.
For
- + Beautifully hand drawn
- + Simple, easy-to-navigate menus
- + Creative take on city-building simulation
- + You can pet the Onbu
Against
- − Customized difficulty could be expanded
- − Needs more automation for villager tasks
An often-used theme in illustration is the concept of flora and fauna as one cohesive unit where artists depict natural biomes on the back of a behemoth like a whale or a turtle. The team behind Stray Fawn Studio have taken that idea and pushed it to a new limit by asking players to consider a world where tribes of humans attempt to survive upon the backs of a roaming beast in their new city-builder sim, The Wandering Village.
Set atop the back of a massive beast called Onbu, players are tasked with managing the progress of a small tribe of humans as they survive the poisonous wastelands surrounding them. The Wandering Village is releasing into early access on Steam on Sept. 14, but I’ve had the opportunity to go hands-on with it before it strolls into the wild.
The Wandering Village: What you’ll like
Upon launching The Wandering Village, players are given three difficulty options to choose from. The first is entirely for new players with constant pop-ups taking over a large part of the screen during your playthrough to provide guidance and objectives as you learn to micromanage the tribe. These pop-ups will walk you through basic tasks like moving your camera as well as using researching and building your city to meet the needs of your tribe. Adept difficulty is the medium setting and is the better option for players who are already knowledgeable about how to approach a city-building simulator, and also gives the player the opportunity to adjust the difficulty to a custom level by choosing whether or not Onbu and/or the villagers can die.
On the surface, The Wandering Village may appear fairly basic as far as a city-building simulator goes. The UI is simple and streamlined, with an inventory list tucked into the top left corner, tribe stats tucked into the top right, and a build menu taking center stage at the bottom. The center menu expands to allow players to choose which buildings they would like to have the villagers construct, as well as deconstruction and a tab for quick access to research trees.
Players do need to be mindful of their building and harvesting choices, however, as the tribe they are managing is living upon the back of a beast that can and does feel when certain tasks are carried out. Small spikes jut out of Onbu’s back, for instance, that can provide stone as a building resource but causes pain when harvested. Harvest too many stone spikes, and Onbu will begin to react by shaking which can cause buildings to collapse. A good relationship with Onbu can be cultivated, though, as players can harvest mushrooms to prepare treats that are then catapulted into Onbu’s mouth to give them a treat. Later on, through the research tree it even becomes possible to pet Onbu.
Building trust with Onbu is vital for survival for both the beast and the villagers. Onbu walks around a poisonous wasteland of a planet, and it is the animal’s travels through various biomes that introduces weather and other potential events to the villagers. The overworld map can be accessed by scrolling out with the scroll wheel on the mouse and gives players a short-ranged view of what is going on around Onbu. At times there will be extreme weather, including tornadoes, or players can get a heads up that there are nomads looking to join a tribe nearby. Should the player have enough trust built up with Onbu, they can issue commands to the beast to guide it toward or away from specific events on the map. Should that trust not be there, however, Onbu will choose their own way and the player will need to deal with the aftermath.
The Wandering Village: What you won’t like
As far as city-building simulators go, The Wandering Village is fairly scaled down and manageable. This is probably due to plans for the game to launch into Xbox Game Preview in 2023, though in its current Early Access state on Steam the game only supports mouse and keyboard input. Hardcore fans looking for an in-depth city-building experience may feel a little put off but the pared-back options with The Wandering Village. In the same vein, however, there is certainly plenty of difficulty there to make the game feel overbearing for new city builders.
While there are options to turn off death for both Onbu and villagers, respectively, it would be nice to see a more fleshed-out menu to customize the types of events and scenarios that could potentially affect your game other than simply death. The ability to toggle on or off weather or poison effects can go a long way to allowing players to create custom difficulties or additional gameplay challenges. Like most games at launch, especially when releasing into Early Access, The Wandering Village does suffer from some minor glitches that can affect quality of life for the gameplay. To be transparent, my time with the game was pre-early access launch, so there may already be patches for some of my biggest complaints on the way, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt.
The most pressing issue I ran into surrounded farms and herbalists’ buildings. When a farm is built, the player must designate plots for crops around the building and then switch over from plant to harvest for the farmers to maintain and harvest the crops. Unfortunately, The Wandering Village doesn’t actually work that way. During my time with the game, farmers would simply stand by their buildings when they were set to the “plant” mode and would only plant crops once I clicked over into “harvest.” However, while in “harvest” mode they actually wouldn’t harvest anything that they planted, and I would have to sit and babysit the farms so that I could select the harvest tool separately then highlight the crops when they were ready. If I was overseeing other buildings, feeding Onbu, or looking at the map I could miss critical points when crops would be ready, and they would deteriorate all while my farmers stood by idle.
The Wandering Village: Should you buy it?
Despite some quality-of-life improvements that could improve the experience, The Wandering Village is launching into Early Access with a strong foundation. The game offers a unique take on the city-building formula by requiring that players not just keep the populace content with their decisions but also the very ground upon which they are building. The dynamic of gameplay with monitoring both your villagers' happiness and Onbu’s health can be challenging but mastering the two challenges together feels like a genuine accomplishment.
Currently Stray Fawn Studio intends for The Wandering Village to remain in early access for one year, with an Xbox Game Preview launch also scheduled for 2023. It is not unusual for games to increase in price when they go from early access to full release, so it can be a good idea to jump in early while the price is discounted. Picking up The Wandering Village and enjoying the game as it grows and builds upon its potential feels like an easy choice.
The Wandering Village
The Wandering Village is a city-builder strategy game from Stray Fawn Studio where players are tasked with micromanaging a tribe of villagers atop a giant beast named Onbu as they travel across a poisoned planet. The game launches into early access on PC on Sept. 14.

Zara Tindall choked back the tears as the Queen's family came out to see the tributes laid outside Balmoral today in emotional scenes.
When Queen Elizabeth died on Thursday, her children and other loved ones were by her side at the Scottish Highlands estate.
Today, several of her children and grandchildren attended a prayer service at Crathie Kirk before viewing the sea of flowers at the gates of Balmoral.
Among them was Zara and the Queen's other granddaughters Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Lady Louise Windsor.
Zara seemed choked as she left the church and viewed the tributes and was later seen comforting her younger cousin Eugenie.
Meanwhile Lady Louise, 18, was seen clutching her mother Sophie Wessex's hand as they made their way from the church back to the castle.
Also looking at the tributes and greeting the crowds were Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, Peter Phillips, Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence.
The crowd of well-wishers at Balmoral broke out into a round of applause as the royal family waved to them as they headed back into the castle grounds.
For the latest updates as the world mourns the Queen and King Charles III's reign begins, follow our live blog.
King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Prince Harry are all back in London now but other royals have remained at Balmoral.
This comes after Prince Charles made a public address to the nation on Friday night.
The biggest tribute was obviously for his "darling mama" and his late father Prince Philip.
Charles ended his speech by saying: "As you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you.
"Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years. May 'flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest'."
There will be a bank holiday on Monday 19 September, the day of the Queen's funeral, with a two-minute silence held across the nation.
Processions will take place in London and Windsor, while a committal service will be held at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
It's been a momentous day for King Charles, who has been formally proclaimed monarch at the Accession Council and will now host a number of audiences at Buckingham Palace.
More than 200 privy councillors, made up of mostly senior politicians past and present including former prime ministers, were present to hear the Clerk of the Council read the proclamation.
He made a personal declaration on the death of the Queen saying: "I know how deeply you and the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathise with me in this irreparable loss we have all suffered.
"Her reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life."
The new King has a busy few days ahead, as he is now preparing to embark on a tour of the country in the days before the funeral to meet his new subjects as millions around Britain unite in their sorrow.
* This weekend, the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror celebrate the life of Her Majesty the Queen with a commemorative special filled with all the key moments from Britain’s longest reigning monarch. Be sure to pick up your copy of the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror to get poth pullouts.

A suspected criminal paraded by the police in Zamfara State has narrated how he robs people after they withdraw cash from banks.
The police spokesperson in Zamfara, Muhammad Shehu, claimed the suspect, Umar Usman, 39, in a confessional statement, said he is a member of a syndicate that specialises in monitoring customers who withdraw money in cash from banks and other financial centres, only to rob them afterwards.
The suspect allegedly confessed that he and other members of the syndicate operate in Borno, Bauchi, Kebbi and Sokoto states.
The police said the suspect’s confession led to the recovery of N3,500,000 belonging to one Nura Shinkafi, attached to Zamfara State Investment Office, Gusau.
The victim complained that unknown person(s) broke the left side glass of his Peugeot 406 vehicle and made away with his bag containing his black HP Laptop with serial number CND0515RPN, valued at N250,000, one Zamfara State Investment I.D Card and the sum of N3,500,000.
The police said while they have succeeded in arresting Mr Usman, efforts are still ongoing to arrest a fleeing suspect, Abdul Sun, who is a resident of Zaria, Kaduna State.
The police commissioner in Zamfara, Kolo Yusuf, tasked members of the public, especially those who make financial transactions in banks or any financial centres, to be conscious of this syndicate and ensure they report any suspicious person (s) to the police for appropriate action.
The police said the suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is completed.

Terrorist arrested
Meanwhile, the police in Zamfara have also arrested a leader of a terror gang, Isiyaku Babangida, 31, while on a mission to attack some communities in Anka and Bukkuyum council areas.
Mr Shehu said the police anti-banditry patrol acted on intelligence to arrest the terror leader.
“The police operatives swung into action and moved to the nearby bandit’s enclaves, which led to a serious gun battle between the bandits and the police operatives.
“The superior firepower of the Police successfully dislodged the bandits, a situation that forced them to flee with possible gunshot wounds.
“One of the most wanted bandits in the camp called Isiyaku Babangida, of Kabe Village of Kebbi State was arrested, the spokesperson said.
The police spokesperson said after they dislodged the criminals, they recovered two AK47 rifles, two fabricated guns, and 2367.62 mm rounds of live ammunition from them
“In the course of interrogation, the suspect explained how he and his other group members that bear Ak 47 rifles invaded several villages in Anka, Bukkuyum, Gummi, rustled an unspecified number of cattle, kidnapped many innocent people and kept them in captivity until their relatives paid the ransom,” the police said.

Charlie Appleby is confident the decision to keep New London fresh ahead of the Cazoo St Leger will pay dividends in the final Classic of the Flat season at Doncaster.
The Dubawi colt has only lost once in five starts – on soft ground at Chester, although Appleby is relaxed about ground conditions on Town Moor.
Since that Chester reverse behind Aidan O’Brien’s Changingoftheguard New London has won a valuable handicap and the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood, a race which has produced the Great Voltigeur winner, a Goodwood Listed winner and the winner of a French Group Three.
“He had a piece of work on Wednesday and looked great,” said Appleby, who was successful 12 months ago with Hurricane Lane.
“I’ve always said we wanted to come here as a fresh horse. The only blip he’s had on his page was in the Chester Vase. People might say was that the trip and ground at the time, but I don’t think it was either. I just think he’d run a good, solid race at the Craven meeting a few weeks earlier and he’s best when he’s fresh.
“That’s why after the Gordon Stakes we always wanted to come straight here.”
Frankie Dettori has ridden the winner of the Leger six times and partners the Juddmonte-owned Haskoy for trainer Ralph Beckett.
The Italian is bidding for a 22nd British Classic success aboard the least experienced runner in the line-up, although Haskoy – who was supplemented at a cost of £50,000 on Monday – has won both starts, latterly taking the Listed Galtres at York.
Juddmonte racing manager Barry Mahon said: “She adds something to the race. She’s an unbeaten filly and she’s been supplemented for the last Classic of the year.
“Obviously the Godolphin horse (New London) is very good, Roger Varian’s (Eldar Eldarov) is a Royal Ascot winner and we know the form of George Boughey’s horse (Hoo Ya Mal) from the Derby with Westover.
“It’s a top race, but to have an unexposed filly going for it is exciting.
“We don’t know how good she is. We could find out that she’s not up to this level, but if she’s improved from York she should be there or thereabouts.
“I think she’ll stay – the way she hit the line at York you’d think a mile and six should be within her compass. The extra half a furlong is a little bit of an unknown, but I’d like to think she has every chance of staying.”
Roger Varian feels Eldar Eldarov will appreciate stepping back up in distance.
Winner of the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot, over a similar mile and six-furlong trip, the son of Dubawi lost his unbeaten record when back to a mile and a half in the Grand Prix de Paris at ParisLongchamp.
He said: “I thought his run in the Grand Prix de Paris was a fair performance, I don’t think he disgraced himself.
“I’m not sure whether he was at his best or whether he showed that day he was a real staying horse.
“He’d won over one-mile-and-six-furlongs at Ascot and looked as though he needed every yard of it, but over the mile and a half at Longchamp the ground was very quick; it was a speed test over a trip.
“He was only just getting going as they crossed the line, I don’t think he disgraced himself, he ran fine, he just showed us he isn’t that type of horse.”
Hoo Ya Mal, bought out of Andrew Balding’s yard after finishing runner-up to Desert Crown in the Derby, comes into this race on the back of a Group Three success in the March Stakes at Goodwood over a similar trip.
Sent to George Boughey, he is set to further his career in the southern hemisphere by owners Go Bloodstock and Partners.
“He came to the yard not that long before his first run at Goodwood. We’re still getting to know him but over the last couple of weeks, he’s started to thrive,” Boughey reported on his SBK blog.
“He’s been a very straightforward horse to train, and we’ve always had it in the back of our minds that he’s not really ‘our’ horse.
“We’re looking after him for the meantime before he goes down (to Australia) and tries to stay two miles on his first start. It’s been a case of slowing him down rather than quickening him up. He seems relaxed and in great shape.”
Emily Dickinson seeks to give O’Brien a seventh win in the race, while Irish hopes are also carried by French Claim, who is trained by Paddy Twomey.
The latter was third to Westover in the Irish Derby on his previous effort in June and steps up to this trip for the first time.
Twomey said: “He has half a chance – that is why he is over there. He is a right progressive horse and every time he has run he has improved on the previous time.
“I think stepping up in trip will play to his strengths as will the big, galloping nature of the track.
“I think all the rain that has fallen recently will be a big help to him and he trained very well ahead of the Irish Derby and ran to a high level in that on ground that was plenty quick enough for him.
“He beat the Oaks winner (Tuesday) who was second in the Yorkshire Oaks on her next start and and that probably is the strongest piece of form in the St Leger, so we’re looking forward to running.”
Marco Botti saddles Giavellotto, a five-length winner of a handicap over a mile and three-quarters at Newmarket.
He said: “He has kept progressing through the season and stays well. As long as the ground doesn’t get too heavy, he will appreciate a bit of cut.
“He is in great form and with the race losing a few strong contenders, he deserves to take his chance.
“We are hoping for a big run and he will be even better as a four-year-old.”

Michelle Obama supports Tiafoe in US Open semifinals
NEW YORK -- Michelle Obama waved her arms in the air and yelled, 'Let's go, Foe!'
Down on the U.S. Open court below, Frances Tiafoe was pleased to see he had a new fan.
Obama had a seat in the front row behind the baseline to watch the American play Friday night in the semifinals in Arthur Ashe Stadium, giving him a thumbs-up and a shout-out when she was shown on the video screens.
'She sees me and she's actually excited to see me,' Tiafoe said.
And to think, he feared he'd made a bad first impression on the former first lady.
Not long after he spotted Obama, even before she was shown to fans, Tiafoe remembered hitting a particularly bad shot.
'I think I shanked a return,' he said, recalling that he thought 'she thinks I'm a bum. Can't make a return.'
Actually, Tiafoe gave her a good show, taking No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz to a fifth set before falling 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3.
That ended the deepest run by an American man in the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick reached the 1996 final, and left Tiafoe one win shy of becoming the first Black man from the U.S. in a major final since MaliVai Washington was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 1996.
After the match, he got to speak with Obama and they walked out through the tunnel from the court together. He said goodbye before meeting up with his supporters that again included Washington Wizards star John Wall.
'Obviously there was a lot of who's whos in there tonight,' Tiafoe said. "Obviously we all know what she means. Crazy getting to meet her after.
'Unbelievable, unbelievable night.'

GUNTUR: An undergraduate student ended his life allegedly due to harassment by operators of mobile loan applications, police said on Friday. The deceased has been identified as Sivaratri Siva, a B.Com student. The incident occurred at Narayanapuram village in Palnadu district.
Parents of the 21-year-old youngster alleged that their son took the extreme step after operators of a loan app harassed him to pay Rs 20,000 to clear a debt of Rs 8,000. Police are yet to confirm the involvement of loan app operators in the case.
A complaint was filed at the Dachepalli police station. As per the preliminary probe, Siva had borrowed money from several people in the village and was struggling to repay it. Police are yet to find out why the student had borrowed money.
Afraid that lenders would humiliate him for not clearing the debts, Siva committed suicide, police said.
Dachepalli station inspector Balanagi Reddy said, “We are trying to get information from his mobile phone. After proper investigation, we can ascertain the role of mobile loan apps.”
The incident comes just a day after a couple in Rajamahendravaram committed suicide allegedly as they were being harassed by mobile loan operators. Following the incident, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy directed officials to take action against loan apps operating in violation of Reserve Bank of India norms.

Lawyers for former President Trump and the Justice Department laid bare significant differences over who should serve as an independent special master to review materials collected during the Aug. 8 court-authorized search of Trump's Mar-A-Lago club that turned up highly classified documents.
They also split over how the special master should go about the work of identifying possible priveleged information to be returned to Trump.
The parties submitted a joint filing late Friday night with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida ahead of a midnight deadline set by Judge Aileen Cannon.
Earlier this week, the Justice Department filed an appeal to the judge's order to appoint a special master and a request to stay the order until the appeal is decided, but neither has been acted upon yet. Trump's lawyers have until Monday to respond to the appeal.
The government has proposed two retired federal judges to serve as special master if their appeal fails: Barbara S. Jones, who served in the Southern District of New York and was appointed by Bill Clinton to the federal bench, and Thomas B. Griffith, a George W. Bush appointee who served on the federal district court in Washington D.C.
Trump's legal team proposed retired federal Judge Raymond J. Dearie who was appointed by Ronald Reagan to the Eastern District of New York, and who also served on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Their second candidate is Paul Huck, Jr., a former partner at Jones Day and contributor to the Federalist Society who served in Florida state government under former Republican Govs. Charlie Crist — now a Democrat — and Rick Scott.
The Justice Dept. and Trump's lawyers disagree over how the special master should work
The government would like the review process to finish by Oct. 12, while Trump's team says it may take 90 days. The government also does not believe the special master should review classified documents or adjudicate claims of executive privilege, which they have argued Trump has no claim over as a former president. The Justice Department would like to confer with Trump's team on whether materials are privileged before they go to the special master, but the Trump team would like items all items seized in the search submitted directly to the special master.
They also disagree on who bears the cost of the special master. The government proposed that Trump's team pay the expense of the special master's work since they requested it, while Trump's lawyers propose an even split.
It's not yet clear when the differences in the role of special master will be sorted, or when the special master would be selected. Both parties have until Monday to review each others' preferred candidates.

Eric Clapton has a history of making public statements that range from the abhorrent to the bizarre. His drunken on-stage rant about immigrants in 1976 was straight out of Enoch Powell’s playbook as the guitarist proclaimed, “Keep Britain white”, and Clapton’s behaviour has lost many friends over the years, including Robert Cray.
Following the speech, Clapton later reflected: “I was so ashamed of who I was, a kind of semi-racist, which didn’t make sense.” As a result of his actions, the ‘Rock Against Racism’ movement was born and some good came out of Clapton’s unforgivable behaviour. However, when he compared the Covid-19 lockdowns to slavery, that was the final straw for Cray, who ended their friendship.
Cray first began supporting Clapton in the 1980s, and he was taken under the wing of the Englishman. The two became close friends and collaborated several times, but the slavery lyric tested their relationship beyond the limit. For context, Cray was born into a segregated community as a Black man in Georgia in 1953.
The song which caused their friendship to disintegrate was Clapton’s woeful anti-lockdown collaboration with Van Morrison, titled ‘Stand and Deliver’. On the track, Clapton questionably sings: “Do you wanna be a free man / Or do you wanna be a slave? Do you wanna wear these chains, Until you’re lying in the grave?”
After hearing ‘Stand and Deliver’, Cray emailed Clapton to politely explain his issue with comparing these incredibly different events. He was saddened by the response and told the Washington Post that Clapton’s “reaction back to me was that he was referring to slaves from, you know, England from way back”.
Cray also addressed Clapton’s photo with controversial Texas governor Greg Abbott, who supports anti-abortion laws and policies restricting voters’ rights.
“There’s this great photo [from 2013] at Madison Square Garden after the show, with B.B. King sitting in a chair, Jimmie Vaughan, myself and Eric sitting behind him,” Cray told the Post. “And I looked at that picture of Gov. Abbott, Jimmie Vaughan and Eric Clapton in that similar pose, and I’m going, ‘What’s wrong with this picture? Why are you doing this?'”
Although it harmed his pursestrings, Cray felt inclined to pull out from his forthcoming tour with Clapton, which he couldn’t proceed on in good faith. Cray’s decision to follow his moral compass when most would have stayed silent in his position is commendable and a mark of him as a man.

To date there have been no studies that attempt to prevent postpartum depression or anxiety among Arabic speaking women in the Middle East, including Qatar.
When Khadija, 34, a Sudenese resident in Qatar, gave birth in August 2020, she wished to be surrounded by her husband and mother, who had been present during her first pregnancy in 2018. Due to COVID-19 restrictions however, she was forced to stay alone in the hospital.
“I was crying all the time at the hospital because they were not allowing my husband to stay for more than 15 minutes; my mother was also only able to visit for 10-15 mins, “ said Khadija, who later suffered from severe postpartum depression (PPD) after delivery.
The health clinic did not screen her for PPD, a medical condition that many women get after having a baby, characterised by strong feelings of sadness, anxiety, and in extreme cases, suicidal thoughts.
Three days after delivery, she was dismissed from the hospital, and when she reached home, her anxiety increased. She hated her body. She cried every day, and this feeling went on for a few months.
Khadija’s experience is not an isolated occurrence. According to a recent World Health Organisation (WHO) report, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the prevalence of anxiety and depression by 25% worldwide.
Devastating challenges, such as deaths, health fears, economic strife and physical social isolation have taken a toll on the mental health of millions worldwide in recent years, disproportionately affecting women and mothers at a higher rate.
Despite this unfortunate rise, the heightened impact of the pandemic on mental health has shown to be a silver lining, easing mental health stigma and expanding services and accessibility across countries.
This can be seen in an increase in Digital Mental Health (DMH) around the world, with more people using therapy apps, hotlines, and even social media such as TikTok for mental health diagnosis and care.
Applications for mental health and wellness include journaling, meditation tools, mood trackers and apps that connect users with licensed professionals for therapy.
Even though many of these platforms already existed prior to 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated their growth as many of them positioned themselves as solutions to close the access gap widened by the global health crisis.
Before the pandemic, many people were unable to access traditional forms of therapy, which involved patients and therapists sitting face-to-face. However, the increased demand from patients seeking more easily accessible therapy services has led to the development of mental health apps around the world.
In Qatar, a new online therapy app called Therappy, the first of its kind, is making mental health care more accessible for women like Khadija, who oftentimes are forced to suffer silently due to mental health stigmas and a lack of confidential access to the necessary help.
Challenging mental health stigma and accessibility
While Therappy had been in the works since before the pandemic hit, the app officially launched on apple store in June 2022, rendering it the first Qatar based App that provides online counselling from the comfort of your home.
The founders of this app, Najla AlKuwari and Noof Almahmoud, sought help from mental health resources after becoming new mothers and dealing with the pressures of child-rearing and postpartum. They came up with this idea after realising the lack of access to mental health services tailored to their specific needs.
“We noticed that a lot of mothers avoid going through a medical clinic to seek mental health care because of fear of stigma, fear of being labeled as a bad mother,” AlKuwari told Doha News, emphasising that the app aims to reduce stigma by providing users with online access to psychological counselling via video sessions, messaging and calls.
“So far we have more than 450 clients signed up on the platform, and right now we have almost 20 verified therapists who can be booked through the app,” she added.
Funded by Qatar Foundation, the app allows you to book a session discreetly and with therapists from different backgrounds, including Arabic speakers who understand the cultural context of the region.
When comparing to in-person sessions, this app is more affordable, giving access to users who may not have health insurance or enough money to afford regular standard therapy sessions.
“We have a price range starting from QR180-onwards when the range for in-person appointments is between 400 to 600 QR,” AlKuwari told Doha News.
“So our hope is to be able to provide the support and help for everyone who needs it, and we hope to be a global platform in the future, offering the widest range of therapists from different backgrounds,” she added.
Privacy concerns: is online therapy better?
While in-person therapy might sound better due to face-to-face interactions, the online mental health industry has been booming since the pandemic.
“There are plenty of apps serving people in North America, but there is still a general lack of apps helping people in the Middle East, which is what we are trying to do,”AlKuwari told Doha News.
When it comes to protecting consumers and their private information, AlKuwari argued that this app offers more privacy than actual in-person therapy sessions in the region.
“We don’t require a lot of personal information, we don’t take your ID information. We don’t take your resident information, which you are obliged to give out in person. We only require your first name and email,” she said, addressing the safety concerns generated by online spaces.
Users of the app select a therapist by looking through a list of providers that includes thumbnail photos, bios that resemble resumes and client reviews.
Clients can switch therapists at any time using the apps, with information transfer between therapists being done securely, and remaining confidential.
Mental health care during the Pandemic
Qatar has been working on tackling the stigma and raising awareness regarding the importance of mental health in the country.
The country’s mental health line has received more than 37,000 calls since its launch in April 2020, Hamad Medical Corporation [HMC] told Doha News in October last year.
The helpline, launched in collaboration with Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health and the Primary Health Care Corporation, is run by a team of mental health professionals who provide assessment and support to between 200 to 300 callers a week.
According to the World Federation for Mental Health, between 75% and 95% of people with mental health disorders that are living in low- and middle-income countries, have no access to mental health services. However, issues of access also occur in wealthier countries albeit at a lower rate.
Stigma remains to be a big concern and, often, people with mental illness do not receive the treatment they are entitled to due to the stigma and discrimination they experience together with their families or caregivers.
The perinatal health clinic in Sidra Medicine is also one of the first of its kind in Qatar to provide mental health care to mothers like Khadija, who oftentimes experience postpartum depression and other mental health issues.
Before the pandemic, 29% of new mothers experienced symptoms of anxiety, whilst 15% reported feelings of depression.
The numbers have almost tripled since the pandemic, with 72% of new mothers reporting symptoms of anxiety and 41% experiencing symptoms of depression.
Research by Sidra Medicine in collaboration with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, found that perinatal mental mental health disorders are more prevalent amongst women living in Qatar than in most western countries.
“Although interventions exist to prevent postpartum depression and anxiety, to date there have been no studies that have attempted to prevent postpartum depression or anxiety among Arabic speaking women in the Middle East, including Qatar,” researchers said.
This new therapy app removes some of these barriers, increasing accessibility and awareness of mental health care in the region.
“In our society, it takes a lot of courage to admit that you need help. And it takes a lot of courage to go and get that help, which is why this app is important,”AlKuwari concluded.

AUBURN, Ala., Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Auburn University has launched its 2022 public service announcement, or PSA, spotlighting how it is advancing student success through experiential learning.
The PSA, titled "How we do it," was unveiled on Auburn's social media feeds and its PSA website—www.auburn.edu/howwedoit. The NCAA commercial focuses on how the Auburn Family teaches, learns and lives, with students experiencing real-world applications through hands-on work in the fields of their desired profession as well as through outreach and research opportunities.
"As our PSA states, what makes Auburn so special is hard to put into words," said John Morris, Auburn's senior vice president for Advancement. "You just have to experience it, and our students do just that—through sports broadcasts to investment labs, forestry work, design studios and even partnerships that reach the stretches of outer space. Our students are learning the lessons that lead to success and the betterment of our community and beyond."
Among the highlights of the PSA is Auburn's War Eagle Productions program—through which journalism students gain professional training in live sports production. The commercial also features Auburn's motion-base virtual reality flight simulators, as well as a partnership between Auburn's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering and Boeing that allows undergraduate students hands-on, real-world design experience on groundbreaking aerospace projects involving NASA and the U.S. Air Force. In the way of research, the PSA spotlights the College of Veterinary Medicine's recent awarding of a $24 million contract by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate to advance detection canine sciences and enhance operational threat detection capabilities.
Similarly, the PSA's website notes several other student experiential learning opportunities, including a summer practicum through Auburn's College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment; a student-run free clinic in Mobile affiliated with the Harrison College of Pharmacy and the University of South Alabama; the new Tony and Libba Rane Culinary Science Center that opened this fall as the home for the College of Human Sciences' School of Hospitality Management; collaboration opportunities in Auburn's Radio-Frequency Identification Lab; the Harbert College of Business' Integrated Financial Leadership Program; and the College of Architecture, Design and Construction's Futures Studio in Mobile.

Students begin a new school year with hopes and dreams of better lives. Teachers and administrators similarly have high hopes for their students, trying to create classrooms and schools of the highest quality where these dreams can be nurtured and minds developed, as difficult as this sometimes is given the limits of budgets. Southern Methodist University in Dallas was created with such hopes but also with many obstacles. In the end, SMU was the result of a fight to relocate another college and the fate of a Dallas medical school that culminated in a world-class university.
Southwestern University in Georgetown, just north of Austin, had been founded by the Methodist Church in 1840. As Texas grew, Methodist leaders at the turn of the century questioned if Georgetown was the best location. To many in North Texas, it only seemed reasonable that the college be relocated to Dallas or Fort Worth, given their large population of Methodists and growing business communities.
While some communities were hesitant to embrace colleges and universities in their communities, worried about rowdy students or radical ideas, Dallas leaders saw an opportunity. They quickly realized that a top-rate university would become an important economic engine for the city, attracting students from far and wide and producing the skilled thinkers that businesses increasingly needed to operate.
Southwestern University ultimately stayed in Georgetown, but Dallas was able to secure the new university, in part from help from Southwestern. In 1903, Southwestern had opened a medical school and school of pharmacy in downtown Dallas. The school was small and a drain on resources. Through the efforts of the school’s dean, Dr. John McReynolds, Southwestern handed ownership over to the new university to be established in Dallas.
SMU’s charter was signed in April 1911. Dr. Robert S. Hyer was hired by trustees to serve as the first president. The medical and pharmacy schools were the only programs offered. Students paid tuition of $100 per year while SMU trustees poured in $25,000 trying to update the school’s facilities. While it was a modest success, the costs made it difficult to expand into a full university.
Hiram Boaz was hired as vice-president and fundraiser in 1913. Boaz, a Methodist minister and later a bishop in the church, had many connections needed to be able to secure the donations the university needed. Hyer meanwhile hired 37 professors and started an aggressive recruitment campaign. Dozens of acres were secured in North Dallas and tens of thousands of dollars were spent on the ornate Dallas Hall, the first permanent building on the new site.
In the summer of 1915, SMU was faced with a difficult choice. The university had the money to either operate the medical school or the new university. Trustees made the decision to suspend the medical school in favor of the new campus. By the fall of 1915, SMU opened in North Dallas. Some 456 students enrolled in the college’s first classes. Women were also admitted as students in a time when many colleges still refused to admit women. A basic program of the liberal arts and sciences were offered as well as graduate programs and a school of divinity. Two buildings were included on the campus, which included a fully-functioning library, with Hyer and trustees planning even more construction as time progressed.
A campus community quickly coalesced at the new location. The Daily Campus, the student newspaper, began publication that fall. At the university’s first graduation ceremony in June 1916, twenty-four bachelors degrees and seven masters degrees were granted. The first years were clearly a success. Anxious to expand the offerings of the university and acquire the talent needed to help manage the rapidly growing businesses in Dallas, the local business community pushed SMU to open a business school, which opened in 1920.
Hyer retired in 1920 but stayed with the university as a physics professor until his death in 1929. Boaz stepped into the position of president, for two years. Dr. Charles Selecman then became the university’s third president in 1923. The Methodist minister oversaw a massive building project and expansion of the university as it steadily matured.
Under Selecman’s tenure, SMU added nine more building to its campus. The SMU School of Law was opened in 1925. The university expanded even further with the opening of the engineering school that year. In 1927, the ornate Highland Park Methodist Church was completed on campus. While the university and the nation struggled through the Great Depression in the 1930s, Selecman was able to keep enrollment and funding strong.
The college continued to grow, weathering war, controversy, and celebrating successes along the way. It grew over the intervening years to become one of the most respected universities in Texas. SMU today boasts more than 11,000 students pursuing dozens of majors.

Nigeria borrowing to develop infrastructure – Buhari
….Inaugurates Presidential Committee on Economy
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, said despite concerns over Nigeria’s huge debts, such borrowing must be appreciated in the context its developmental initiatives.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Presidential Committee on the economy, in Abuja, Buhari explained the rationale behind Nigeria’s huge debts estimated at over N41 trillion, incurred by the federal government, saying that the loans were necessary to execute infrastructural developments
“While citizens’ concern about borrowing is well understood, our resort to borrowing must also be appreciated in the context of the resources required to deliver on the infrastructure, health and other socio-economic needs of our citizens,” the president said.
“It remains a major goal of this Administration to continue pursuing its social protection programmes. These programmes provide support to the most vulnerable of our citizens.”
The President also noted that despite the disruptions in global economy and internal troubles, the Nigerian economy has continued to be resilient and maintains an upward trajectory.
President Buhari also said the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the loss of substantial volumes of oil have had negative impacts on the Nigerian economy.
“Starting with COVID-19 and now the conflict in Ukraine, the past three years have been turbulent ones for the global economy. Global interdependence has become more apparent as we have had to deal with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity,” he said.
“In this period, challenges faced by the world have been many including: (i) lockdowns as COVID-19 raged; (ii) disruptions to supply chains around the world; and (iii) sharp fluctuations in prices.
“Just as the world was beginning to recover from the coronavirus, the conflict in the Black Sea region between Ukraine and Russia worsened the challenges already being faced and created additional problems to which policy makers are having to respond.
“Our economy continues to grow despite the adverse effects of rising interest rates, a stronger US dollar and higher inflation across the world.”
The president maintained that some of the problems could be addressed internally, making the constitution of the seasoned economic experts expedient.
“It is however important to note that some of the issues we must address are peculiar to us. For example, the decline in our production of crude oil. It is estimated that last month, August 2022, we produced less than 1mn barrels. The fall in production is essentially due to economic sabotage,” he said.
“With the high price of oil in the world markets, producing at about half our OPEC quota has deprived us of much needed revenue and foreign exchange. Government is working tirelessly to reverse this situation.”
President Buhari, however, assured Nigerians that despite these hiccups, necessitating borrowings from financial sources, the current administration remains committed to the welfare of the citizens, especially the implementation of the Social Investment Programmes.
The Nigerian leader stressed the need to upscale resource mobilization and utilization in the country as more could be achieved in this direction.
“This Administration is also not unaware of the debates about resource mobilisation and utilisation. On resource mobilisation, our performance as a nation continues to be a source of concern.
“Tax revenues are approximately 8 percent of our output. This compares very badly with those countries against which we measure ourselves that achieve 15-25 percent. In the absence of revenue, our ability to deliver the most basic services is limited.”
President Buhari said that while he understands the concerns arising from the huge expenditure on fuel subsidy, it is expedient that a right balance be struck not to scare away investors
“With respect to expenditure, our objective remains to ensure that spending is efficient and result oriented. In this regard, the debate around fuel subsidies is well noted,” he said.
He said the right balance needs to be struck to ensure that as citizens of the country are protected. He emphasized that no room must be left for inefficiencies and leakages.
“It is also important to ensure that our national investment environment is such that local and international private investors can be attracted and retained. Sustainably dealing with the challenge of policy predictability and coherence is an important element in this regard,” he said.
On the mandate and constitution of the Committee under his headship with representations from State Governors, the President said he is convinced that it will deliver as expected.

“The Presidential Committee on the National Economy, which I am inaugurating today, aims to bring together all policymakers responsible for the economy. In this way, we share a common understanding and approach to resolving the issues I have identified and many more,” he said.
“This Committee, will provide our nation an opportunity to be bold, more proactive, and innovative in tackling persistent challenges. The work with which I have tasked the assembled team will enable us respond more swiftly and efficiently.”
Presentations were made at the event by Doyin Salami, Chief Economic Adviser to the President, Zainab Ahmed, Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Niyi Adebayo, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, as well as Godwin Emefiele, Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria.
Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, represented Chairman of the Governors Forum.
The Presidential Committee on the Economy is chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari and has as members the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo SAN; Kayode Fayemi, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum; Zainab Ahmed, Minister for Finance, Budget, and National Planning; Niyi Adebayo, Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment; and Timipre Sylva, Minister of State for Petroleum.
Other members include Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation; Ibrahim Gambari, Chief of Staff to the President; Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Mohammed Sagagi, Vice Chairman of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council.
The Chief Economic Adviser to the President, Doyin Salami, is Member/Secretary of the Committee.
The Presidential Committee has the mandate to review the national economic situation and propose measures to ensure our national economy improves and can meet the government’s objectives.
The Committee will also receive regular updates on economic conditions in the country, identify issues that require urgent intervention to improve macroeconomic and fiscal conditions, review the impact of existing and new policies on the Nigerian economy and provide directions to relevant institutions responsible for fiscal, monetary, and any other relevant policies.
Against the background of recent developments in the global economy and its impact on Nigeria’s economic trajectory, this Presidential Committee is another clear demonstration of Mr. President’s total commitment to ensuring that the Nigerian economy successfully navigates through these difficult times. It will be an “economic emergency room” that will work towards keeping Nigeria on the path of economic recovery and growth, global competitiveness as well as inclusive development and sustainability.

By — Eric Tucker, Associated Press Eric Tucker, Associated Press By — Nomaan Merchant, Associated Press Nomaan Merchant, Associated Press Leave your feedback Share Copy URL https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/justice-department-trump-team-propose-special-master-candidates-for-document-review Email Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Tumblr Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Justice Department, Trump team propose special master candidates for document review Politics Sep 10, 2022 10:38 AM EDT WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department and Donald Trump’s legal team each proposed candidates Friday for the role of an independent arbiter in the investigation into top-secret documents found at the former president’s Florida home, but the two sides differed on the scope of duties the person would have. Lawyers for Trump said they believe the so-called special master should review all documents seized by the FBI during its search last month of Mar-a-Lago, including records with classification markings, and filter out any that may be protected by claims of executive privilege. The Justice Department, by contrast, said it does not believe the arbiter should be permitted to inspect classified records or resolve potential claims of executive privilege. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had given both sides until Friday to submit potential candidates for the role of a special master, as well as proposals for the scope of the person’s duties and the schedule for his or her work. The Justice Department submitted the names of two retired judges — Barbara Jones, who served on the federal bench in Manhattan and has performed the same role in prior high-profile investigations, and Thomas Griffith, a former federal appeals court jurist in the District of Columbia. The Trump team proposed one retired judge, Raymond Dearie — also the former top federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York — and a prominent Florida lawyer, Paul Huck, Jr. The back-and-forth over the special master is playing out amid an FBI investigation into the retention of several hundred classified documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago within the past year. Though the legal wrangling is unlikely to have major long-term effects on the investigation or knock it significantly off course, it will almost certainly delay the probe by potentially months and has already caused the intelligence community to temporarily pause a separate risk assessment. The Justice Department proposed an Oct. 17 deadline for the special master to complete the review process, while the Trump team said the work could take as long as three months. Though both sides met Cannon’s deadline to provide potential candidates, their filings made clear that they have core disagreements about the job of special master. That’s not surprising given that the Justice Department had strenuously objected to the Trump team’s desire for such an arbiter, and gave notice Thursday that it would appeal the judge’s decision to grant the ex-president’s request. Central to the dispute is precisely what documents the yet-to-be-named special master should be tasked with reviewing. Roughly 11,000 documents — including more than 100 with classified markings, some at the top-secret level — were recovered during the FBI’s Aug. 8 search. In granting the request for a special master, Cannon directed the department to temporarily pause its use of the seized records for investigative purposes. WATCH: Judge grants Trump request for special master to review documents found at Mar-a-Lago The Justice Department had said a special master was unnecessary in part because it had already completed its own review of the seized documents, locating a limited subset that possibly involve attorney-client privilege. It has maintained that executive privilege does not apply in this investigation because Trump, no longer president, had no right to claim the documents as his. Though the government does not believe the special master should inspect documents with classification markings, the Trump team maintains the arbiter should have access to the entire tranche of seized records. According to a summary of its position outlined in a filing Friday night, it disputes the idea that the Justice Department’s “separation of these documents is inviolable” or that a document with classification markings should be forever regarded as classified. And, the lawyers say, if any document is a presidential document then Trump has an “absolute right of access to it.” “Thus, President Trump (and/or his designee) cannot be denied access to those documents, which in this matter gives legal authorization to the Special Master to engage in first-hand review,” the filing states. Executive privilege generally refers to a president’s power to shield information from the courts and public so as to ensure the confidentiality of presidential decision-making, though there are limits. A separate dispute concerns the special master’s fees and expenses. The Trump team has suggested splitting the costs evenly with the Justice Department. The government says the Trump team should bear the cost. WATCH: Legal implications of decision to appoint special master to review Trump documents The two sides are also at odds over candidates, though three of the four are retired judges. Jones, a former Manhattan federal judge and one of the government’s picks, recently served as special master in two other high-profile cases related to Trump. She reviewed materials seized in FBI raids on Trump’s one-time personal lawyers Michael Cohen, in an investigation related to hush-money payments, and Rudy Giuliani, in a probe of his dealings in Ukraine. Griffith, the other Justice Department selection, was named to the federal appeals court in Washington in 2005 by then-president George W. Bush, and previously represented the institutional interests of the Republican-led Senate during the impeachment case of former President Bill Clinton. The Trump team recommended Dearie, who was nominated in 1986 by then-President Ronald Reagan to the federal court based in Brooklyn. He has also served on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The other Trump pick, Huck, served as general counsel to Charlie Crist when Crist was the Republican governor of Florida. He is married to Barbara Lagoa, a judge on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which would hear any appeal in the Trump case from Florida. He is listed on the Federalist Society website as a contributor to the conservative legal group. The Justice Department on Thursday filed a notice of appeal indicating it would contest the judge’s special master order to the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit. It asked her to lift her hold on their investigative work pending their appeal. The department has been investigating the unlawful retention of top-secret records at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House, as well as whether anyone sought to obstruct that probe. It is not clear if Trump or anyone else will be charged. ___ Associated Press writers Michael R. Sisak in New York and Curt Anderson in Miami contributed to this report.

The twenty-first century had been one of triumph for the Chinese Communist Party.
As governments in the U.S. and Europe mishandled one calamity after another — from the 2008 financial crisis to botched efforts to contain COVID-19 — even champions of liberal democracy looked on with envy as China’s policy makers navigated the same troubled waters with apparent ease.
But the cracks of China’s governing model are beginning to show as its real estate sector deals with the ramifications of a bust in the property market and as its zero-Covid policy falters in the face of fast-spreading new variants.
“There has been a certain sort of envy in the West of what appeared to be the extraordinary competence of China’ policymakers, but at the moment the emperor has no clothes,” said Jeremy Mark, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and an expert on Asian economies.
As Chinese President Xi Jinping looks set to win a precedent -breaking third five-year term when the Chinese Communist Party holds its 20th Party Congress starting Oct. 16, the coming months could be pivotal for the country and its efforts to achieve the status of a world-class power.
The end of China’s miracle growth
The importance of the Chinese economy to global growth was made apparent in the years after the 2008 financial crisis, when the U.S. and European economies were straining under the weight of a badly wounded financial sector, declining real estate prices and rising unemployment that sapped consumer demand.
China’s economy was not only kept safe from financial contagion — it barely lost any steam all, growing at nearly 10% per year from 2008 through 2011 as local governments borrowed heavily to fund a massive new wave of infrastructure development.
Even as Western demand for Chinese manufactured goods evaporated after the financial crisis, its economy powered ahead on the strength of a $575 billion fiscal stimulus package — which equated to 13% of China’s GDP at the time — that was largely spent on infrastructure projects and encouraged easy lending to the property sector.
The stimulus package and subsequent policies built on the success of the three prior decades when the government was able to encourage double-digit economic growth through much needed infrastructure spending. It also set the stage for another decade in which China’s economy would outperform the West and provide the global economy with the lion’s share of its growth.
But these policies also papered over a serious problem: China was running out of ways to productively invest in roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Michael Pettis, a professor of finance at Peking University in Beijing, argues that this reality posed a fundamental problem for Chinese policymakers that they have yet to solve.
After China had “closed the gap between the investment it had and the investment that the economy could productively absorb…China should have dramatically lowered the share of production it reinvested,” Pettis wrote in a recent essay for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Rebalancing the Chinese economy from one led by investment to one dominated by domestic consumer spending ran into political opposition, however, as vested interests in maintaining the current model have blocked necessary reforms.
“Political priorities are central to understanding the decisions made by the Chinese Communist Party,” the Atlantic Council’s Marks said. “Politics have taken precedence over other considerations in economic policy making.”
A slow-moving debt crisis
Real estate bubbles are common in economic history, and the bubble that formed in China’s property sector does not look all that different than the ones formed in the U.S. and Europe in the 2000s.
In the U.S., homebuyers and builders feasted on easy credit provided by investor demand for supposedly safe mortgage-backed securities, and rising home prices eventually triggered a bout of speculation that drove those prices ever higher until the bubble burst.
In China, easy credit to the property sector was provided by the government as it sought to spur economic activity to hit unsustainably high GDP-growth targets, according to Pettis.
An added wrinkle to the story is the widespread practice by Chinese developers of pre-selling homes that have yet to be constructed and using those funds not to complete the promised home, but purchase more land.
“As real estate prices [in China] rose year after year, it changed businesses’ behavior in ways that in turn distorted prices,” Pettis wrote, adding that rapidly rising prices benefitted companies that took on the most risk by snapping up as much real estate as they could to anticipate future needs.
Just as the real estate market in the U.S. became dominated by speculators in the 2000s, so too was China’s in recent years.
Bursting the bubble
Chinese officials have long recognized its real estate bubble, and the growth in debt that fueled its inflation, as a problem demanding serious attention.
In 2020, Beijing introduced new regulations that significantly restricted access to credit to the property development sector, which prevented developers from borrowing to mask cash shortages and led to some being unable to complete projects that homebuyers had already paid for.
Property developers like China Evergrande Group
EGRNF,
Brad Setser, a former senior advisor to the U.S. Trade Representative and a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations told MarketWatch in an interview that it is unlikely that troubles in China’s real estate crisis will pose a risk to the financial system because it is already state run and the Chinese government has shown a willingness to recapitalize banks in the past.
But the bursting of the real estate bubble may be a serious headwind for the Chinese economy even absent a financial crisis, given how important property development is to the Chinese economy.
“Property investment was a much larger share of the Chinese economy than in the U.S. context,” Setser said. “It’s as if the entire economy were Nevada and Arizona and some of the booming and construction states before our crisis.”
Cleaning up the mess
The task facing Chinese policymakers is to somehow arrest the cycle of declining real estate prices and sales and to stabilize property development companies so that they can finish the homes they’ve promised to build.
Tom Orlik, chief economist at Bloomberg Economics estimates that the value of mortgages attached to unfinished properties in China amount to about $230 billion, or 1.4% of the country’s GDP. If homes continue to be completed at their current rate, that amount will rise to $632 billion in 2024, a whopping 4% of GDP.
A growing number of Chinese have begun to boycott mortgage payments on uncompleted homes where developers have halted construction, according to Houze Song who leads research into the Chinese economy for the think tank MacroPolo.
Song said in an interview with MarketWatch that it’s difficult to know how widespread these protests are because the Chinese government has worked to stop the spread of information about the boycotts, in traditional and social media, though there’s evidence the government is taking the protests seriously.
Beijing recently announced $29 billion in loans to troubled developers, though Song warned that “the size is probably not sufficient to solve the problem.”
The regime is in a difficult position because officials want both to stabilize the property sector without sending the message that private actors will be bailed out by the government if they take on too much risk, Song added.
That means the government is likely to roll out support slowly and will look to force real estate companies and local governments to bear as much of the burden as is practical.
The current stimulus plans “will only be sufficient to muddle through,” but uncertainty and declining real estate problems will continue to weigh on consumer and business confidence and economic growth, Song said.
Zero Covid
Another headwind for China is its zero-Covid policy, entailing rolling lockdowns of major cities in an effort to rid the country entirely of the virus.
“Without relaxing zero Covid there will be no stabilization of the housing market,” Carl Weinberg, chief economist at the High Frequency Economics and veteran China watcher told MarketWatch.
The policy is defensible on moral grounds, especially when compared to the U.S., where more than one million COVID deaths has contributed to a nearly unprecedented 3-year decline in average life expectancy.
But it does lay bare that China’s vaccine production and roll out has been less successful in the West, while betraying the Communist Party’s authoritarian tendencies at a time when its international reputation has been harmed by events in Hong Kong and Xinxiang.
Recent polls from Pew and the Eurasia Group show a growing share of the global population have negative views of China, while countries from India to Nigeria and Brazil say they prefer the U.S. over China for the role of leading superpower.
China’s biggest decisions are ahead, however. The standoff between the Western powers and China over the fate of Taiwan will define perceptions of China’s economic and political strength for decades to come, Weinberg said.
“A successful repatriation of Taiwan would give it control over the global chip market and a louder voice on the international stage,” he said. “The stakes are really high.”

Is Now The Time To Put Veeco Instruments (NASDAQ:VECO) On Your Watchlist?
It's common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.
So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn't suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Veeco Instruments (NASDAQ:VECO). While this doesn't necessarily speak to whether it's undervalued, the profitability of the business is enough to warrant some appreciation - especially if its growing.
View our latest analysis for Veeco Instruments
How Fast Is Veeco Instruments Growing Its Earnings Per Share?
Strong earnings per share (EPS) results are an indicator of a company achieving solid profits, which investors look upon favourably and so the share price tends to reflect great EPS performance. So for many budding investors, improving EPS is considered a good sign. It is awe-striking that Veeco Instruments' EPS went from US$0.19 to US$0.78 in just one year. When you see earnings grow that quickly, it often means good things ahead for the company. But the key is discerning whether something profound has changed, or if this is a just a one-off boost.
One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. Veeco Instruments shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 7.6% to 10%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in our book.
In the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings and revenue, over time. To see the actual numbers, click on the chart.
While we live in the present moment, there's little doubt that the future matters most in the investment decision process. So why not check this interactive chart depicting future EPS estimates, for Veeco Instruments?
Are Veeco Instruments Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
Insider interest in a company always sparks a bit of intrigue and many investors are on the lookout for companies where insiders are putting their money where their mouth is. That's because insider buying often indicates that those closest to the company have confidence that the share price will perform well. However, small purchases are not always indicative of conviction, and insiders don't always get it right.
Veeco Instruments insiders both bought and sold shares over the last twelve months, but they did end up spending US$35k more on stock than they received from selling it. So, on balance, the insider transactions are mildly encouraging. Zooming in, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Senior VP & CFO John Kiernan for US$104k worth of shares, at about US$20.79 per share.
Along with the insider buying, another encouraging sign for Veeco Instruments is that insiders, as a group, have a considerable shareholding. Indeed, they hold US$27m worth of its stock. That shows significant buy-in, and may indicate conviction in the business strategy. While their ownership only accounts for 2.5%, this is still a considerable amount at stake to encourage the business to maintain a strategy that will deliver value to shareholders.
Is Veeco Instruments Worth Keeping An Eye On?
Veeco Instruments' earnings have taken off in quite an impressive fashion. Just as heartening; insiders both own and are buying more stock. These factors seem to indicate the company's potential and that it has reached an inflection point. We'd suggest Veeco Instruments belongs near the top of your watchlist. Even so, be aware that Veeco Instruments is showing 1 warning sign in our investment analysis , you should know about...
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. So if you like the sound of Veeco Instruments, you'll probably love this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.

Companies that grow at above-average rates can turn a relatively modest investment into a much bigger future payday. For example, a $500 investment in a stock that can deliver 15% annualized returns for 30 years would grow to more than $33,000. For comparison, that same $500 investment in a stock producing 10% annualized returns would only grow into about $8,725 over a 30-year period.
One of the keys to finding great growth stocks is looking for companies capitalizing on major growth trends with significant long-term tailwinds. Two of the biggest megatrends these days are digital transformation and decarbonization. Here are some top companies capitalizing on these trends, positioning them to grow rapidly for years to come.
Securing the digital transformation
Digital transformation is seeing companies move more of their business processes online. The transition to the cloud is improving efficiency, enabling more remote work, and allowing companies to harness the power of data. It will drive growth for years, as companies steadily move more processes online.
One crucial aspect of digital transformation is network security. Enterprises need to protect their vital data from growing cyber threats. That's driving a shift in security to cloud-based applications built for our increasingly mobile world.
Two cloud security leaders are CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS). CrowdStike's Falcon platform leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and stop threats. Meanwhile, Zscaler pioneered zero trust exchange architecture to securely connect any device to any app over any network.
Customers are flocking to these cloud platforms to secure their digital transformation. CrowdStrike's revenue surged 58% in its fiscal second quarter, boosting its annual recurring revenue (ARR) to $2.14 billion. Meanwhile, Zscaler's revenue rocketed 63% in its fiscal third quarter. That pushed its ARR well over the $1 billion milestone.
Both cybersecurity companies set their sites on growing ARR to $5 billion in the near term. That's only a fraction of the total addressable market opportunity they envision for their cloud security products.
Zscaler sees a $72 billion (and growing) market, while CrowdStrike sees its opportunity reaching $126 billion over the next few years. That gives both companies a long runway to continue growing at rapid rates.
Powering the energy transition
The global economy is working to reduce its carbon emissions to stave off the worst effects of climate change. It's an enormous undertaking. One estimate pegs the full decarbonization of the global economy at a more than $150 trillion investment over the next three decades.
This megatrend is powering rapid growth for companies focused on decarbonization. Two decarbonization leaders are renewable energy producers Brookfield Renewable(NYSE: BEPC)(NYSE: BEP) and NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE: NEP).
Brookfield Renewable has an enormous backlog of renewable energy and carbon capture and storage opportunities. The company estimates that a combination of higher power prices, its growing scale, and development projects will power 6% to 11% annual cash flow per share growth through at least 2026.
On top of that, it sees mergers and acquisitions adding up to 9% to its bottom line each year. That would easily support the company's plan to grow its 3.3%-yielding dividend at a 5% to 9% annual rate. That combination of attractive income and rapid growth could enable Brookfield to produce powerful total returns in the coming decades.
Meanwhile, NextEra Energy Partners expects to grow its 3.6%-yielding dividend at a 12% to 15% annual rate through at least 2025. Powering the company's growth plan is its strategy of acquiring income-producing clean energy infrastructure from developers, including its sponsor, NextEra Energy, a leading clean energy-focused utility. That combination of an above-average dividend and a double-digit annual growth rate should support total returns in the mid-teens or better in the future.
Megatrend-driven growth
The ultimate growth stocks can grow at high rates for decades. A key driver of their growth is the ability to capitalize on major long-term growth trends.
Decarbonization and digital transformation certainly fit that bill, setting CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Brookfield Renewable, and NextEra Energy Partners up to deliver robust growth in the coming years. That makes them excellent options for those with some money to invest because that investment could grow significantly in the coming years.

NEW DELHI: Army chief General Manoj Pande on Saturday reviewed the operational preparedness along the frontier in eastern Ladakh while also witnessing a combat exercise, even as Indian and Chinese troops disengage from the stand-off at Patrolling Point-15 in the larger Gogra-Hot Springs area.
The phased and coordinated troop disengagement at PP-15 near the Kugrang Nallah, which began on Thursday morning, is slated to be completed on Monday. The overall de-escalation and de-induction of troops in the continuing over 28-month-long military confrontation with China in the high-altitude region, however, is still nowhere in sight.
On a two-day trip to the operational areas under the crucial Leh-based 14 Corps, Gen Pande visited `forward areas’ along the Line of Actual Control with China in eastern Ladakh on Saturday. He also witnessed the ongoing ‘Parvat Prahar’ exercise, which includes ground forces, tanks, mechanized infantry, artillery, helicopters and aircraft, in the `depth areas’.
The Army chief was briefed on the overall security situation as well as the disengagement process at PP-15 by top commanders, including Northern Command chief Lt-General Upendra Dwivedi and 14 Corps commander Lt-General Anindya Sengupta.
“The ongoing disengagement at PP-15 is being closely monitored by both the armies. Apart from the pullback of the rival troops, the process involves dismantling of temporary structures and other allied infrastructure created in the area by the two sides, along with mutual verification,” an officer said.
On Sunday, Gen Pande is slated to go to the Siachen Glacier-Saltoro Ridge region, where Indian and Pakistani troops face each other along the 110-km actual ground position line.
On the China front, while troop disengagement has taken place at PP-14 (Galwan Valley), PP-17A (Gogra) and the Pangong Tso-Kailash Range region, and is now being followed by PP-15, the much bigger stand-off at the strategically-located Depsang Bulge area remains a major operational problem. Similarly, the `friction’ at the Charding Ninglung Nallah (CNN) track junction at Demchok is also yet to be defused.

The Sanderson sisters are back and ready to run amok, amok, amok inHocus Pocus 2! Disney unveiled the first official trailer from the long-anticipated sequel, starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, during their D23 Expo event on Friday.
In addition to Midler, Parker and Najimy, Doug Jones, who plays Billy Butcherson, also reprises his role in the upcoming sequel.
Set 29 years after the events of the first film, Hocus Pocus 2 sees the 17th-century sisters resurrected after high school friends relight the Black Flame Candle and spark a whole new adventure. Now, it’s up to these students to put a stop to the witches once again.
ET previously reported that the film will "see three young women accidentally bringing the Sanderson Sisters back to modern-day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on the world."
Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham and Belissa Escobedo play the present-day Salem students who incite the wrath of the three witches. The cast also includes Ted Lasso's Hannah Waddingham, Sam Richardson, Tony Hale, Juju Brener, Froy Gutierrez, Taylor Paige Henderson and Nina Kitchen.
ET spoke to Richardson at the Independent Spirit Awards in March, where he gushed over the "surreal experience" of joining some of the original cast for the film's second installment.
"It was incredible. All the ladies are back for Hocus Pocus 2," Richard teased. "They truly haven't missed a step. And it was so incredible to be in the movie and watch them putting the old hats back on and being those old characters, the sisters. It was so much fun."
A self-proclaimed true fan of the original, Richardson said he "grew up watching [Hocus Pocus]."
"I'm a true fan of that movie," the Ted Lasso actor gushed. "Being in it, now being a part of that movie, [is] another one of those surreal moments."
Hocus Pocus 2 flies onto Disney+ Sept. 30.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eager to root for viewer favorites “Yellowstone,” “NCIS” or “Young Sheldon” during the Emmy Awards? Save your breath.
They and other ratings successes failed to make a dent in nominations for Monday’s ceremony. Instead, the haul went to shows that are critical darlings or possess a higher degree of cool, “Stranger Things” and “Squid Game” among them.
While it may be frustrating to fans, industry experts consider such omissions a sign that television’s most prestigious honor is doing its job, or trying to, in the daunting age of “peak TV” overload.
“When the Emmys were created more than 70 years ago, there were so few shows. The public was familiar with what was being nominated,” said TV producer-writer William Rosenthal. That remained the case for most of the 20th century, but today it’s “a whole different game, with more than 500 series, and also international series.”
Netflix’s “Squid Game” is a case in point, a South Korean drama that’s the first non-English language nominee for top series honors. The dystopian horror story is competing with seven other acclaimed shows, including “Succession” and “Severance.”
The crush of programming means that even worthy shows struggle for recognition.
“You would have thought this bounty of quality would have been wonderful for the Emmys, but it’s become one of their most significant challenges,” said Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University’s Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture. “What happens when an award that was originally designed to pick out the high points in what was called the ‘idiot box’ suddenly has more high points than they can possibly know what to do with?”
Which begs the question: Given the many options splintering the TV audience, how can an awards show draw a crowd?
The ceremony isn’t limited to spotlighting only nominated shows, said returning executive producers Reginald Hudlin and Ian Stewart. The awards air 8 p.m. EDT Monday on NBC, with Kenan Thompson of “Saturday Night Live” as host.
“The writing, the filmmaking, the acting that you see on television is extraordinary,” said Hudlin. “We want to celebrate all of TV … the things we like to watch, whatever those are, yay!”
How to accomplish that? “Put a bit of ‘Law & Order’ in there for the people, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do,” said Stewart, using the long-running franchise as shorthand for crowd favorites. “We want people to recognize their TV, not our TV, not just those things that are nominated but they’ve never heard of, or don’t subscribe to the streaming service.”
One approach, inviting actors from non-nominated shows to serve as presenters, is already evident: Mariska Hargitay of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and Christopher Meloni of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” will do just that (with both shows also conveniently on host network NBC).
The nominations winnowing process was particularly brutal this year. The farewell seasons of network favorites “black-ish” and “This Is Us” were snubbed, and FX’s “Atlanta” was left out of the best comedy series category after two previous nods (although star-creator Donald Glover is up for an acting trophy, which he won in 2017).
Staples like NBC’s “Chicago Fire” or CBS’ “NCIS” — the No. 1 network drama with an average 10 million viewers last season — are awards longshots in any field, but particularly among TV’s endless wave of innovative storytelling. The same goes for Paramount’s “Yellowstone,” well-crafted but not seen as cutting edge, which leaves even its deserving cast members out in the cold.
“It seems like a big oversight that Kelly Reilly hasn’t been nominated,” said Rosenthal, whose credits include “Nurse Jackie” and who is an assistant professor at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. Reilly’s performance as tough but troubled Beth Dutton in the modern Western is “really fantastic,” he said.
Emmy nods largely favored shows from big-spending streaming services like Netflix, among the drivers of TV’s explosive growth, alongside relatively old-guard premium cable channels including HBO and Showtime. Of the 21 nominees in the best drama, comedy and limited series categories, 11 are on streaming services and seven are on premium cable.
ABC’s comedy “Abbott Elementary,” stands alone as a broadcast network series nominee. Two series nods went to basic cable: AMC’s “Better Call Saul” and FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows.”
When broadcast and daily ratings ruled TV, before DVRs and streaming, Emmy recognition could help make a show. The groundbreaking police drama “Hill Street Blues” is a vivid example cited by Syracuse’s Thompson.
It was among the lowest-rated series when it was showered in 1981 with a then-record eight Emmys, he said, and spared cancellation. It aired until 1987 and won four consecutive best drama series awards.
The Emmys hunt still triggers splashy “for your consideration” promotional campaigns aimed at academy voters. But the overloaded pop culture environment has dimmed the appeal of Hollywood awards ceremonies across the board, as ebbing viewership proves, and maybe the cachet of the trophies themselves.
Emmy producer Stewart offers a counter perspective to the latter. Statistically, he said, the odds of winning one of the 25 Emmys to be given Monday are overwhelmingly long.
“Let’s not forget that this is an incredible, incredible achievement,” he said.

Netflix‘s (NFLX 2.69%) fall from top growth stock to beaten-down value stock has been truly incredible. Less than a year ago, Netflix’s stock price nearly eclipsed $700 per share. Now, it sits at just around $230.
A multitude of issues caused this drop, some of them out of Netflix’s control. However, the key question now is: Can Netflix return to growth mode?
Let’s find out what it will take for Netflix to achieve that status again.
Facing off against growing headwinds
There were several factors involved in Netflix’s tumble, but they included market exuberance, customer attrition, and intense competition.
In Nov. 2021 (the peak of the market hype), Netflix traded for more than 60 times earnings, yet it only grew revenue in the upper teens in the prior two quarters. That’s an expensive price for a company growing at that pace and one that had just enjoyed the most significant business boost it will likely ever experience — the COVID-19-induced lockdowns. There wasn’t a lot of room left for Netflix to grow, especially in its core North American market, and that’s when the bull case began falling apart.
In the first quarter of 2022, Netflix lost subscribers for the first time in a decade. First, many customers likely felt they no longer needed as much home entertainment as in-person gatherings were returning. Second, Netflix is facing stiff competition.
As more companies launch their streaming services, Netflix is losing a lot of its licensed content and must generate its own. Netflix relies on big-hit series to retain its customers, but this comes at a steep price — Netflix’s standard plan ($15.49 per month) is the most expensive streaming service on the market. That high cost allows it to fund a lot of originals, but audiences have more options than ever.
All in all, these factors have taken a heavy toll on Netflix with the stock down more than 65% from its all-time high.
So what’s next?
Netflix’s path to recovery
Netflix has multiple paths to growing its customer base and revenue to regain its status as a growth stock.
First, it’s looking at adding an ad-supported tier. Management noted it wouldn’t be forcing ads onto any of its existing tiers, instead creating a new options that can appeal to viewers around the globe. This lower-price offering can potentially recapture old customers who cut the service due to price while attracting new ones as well. Only time will tell how successful this subscription will be, but investors should watch this effort closely following its projected launch in early 2023.
Another growth lever Netflix is trying to pull is its crackdown on password sharing. Netflix has known for years that millions of households were doing this, and it didn’t care. Instead, it left these people alone to widen its reach with consumers. But now, the time has come to remove that luxury and monetize the more than 100 million households that share passwords.
Netflix isn’t going to make people who share passwords purchase their own account. Instead, additional homes can be added for a relatively low monthly cost. This change, which has already been tested in some international markets, won’t make access cost as much as an individual account, but it will provide additional revenue.
Finally, the company will continue producing content in its search for massive hits. Netflix wants to create a platform that makes consumers feel left out if they don’t have it, especially as the service has lost content to rival media companies’ own streaming services.
A murky picture for investors
So, will this work and give Netflix the kick-start it needs? Unfortunately, the outlook isn’t promising.
Most of these growth levers are one-time switches. Netflix could see strong, near-term revenue growth as consumers adopt the new ad-supported tier or add additional households to their accounts. But after that, there just aren’t as many customers left to capture. Long term, Netflix will once again find itself in a low-growth environment but without any obvious options besides raising prices.
If the consumer then feels Netflix’s premium streaming service isn’t worth it, then it will be a repeat of 2022 all over again.
I don’t believe Netflix will regain its growth stock status, but I’m also not betting against it. CEO Reed Hastings has led Netflix out of trouble multiple times, and he could do it again. However, there is just too much risk for me. There are much better growth stocks available to investors, and their time is better spent looking at these great companies.

King Charles III formally proclaimed UK’s new monarch
The ceremony, the first one since 1952 when Queen Elizabeth took the throne, was broadcast live for the first time.
King Charles III has been proclaimed the United Kingdom’s monarch in a pomp-filled ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism – an event which has been for the first time, broadcast live online and on air.
The ceremony on Saturday was followed by gun salutes and the reading of proclamations in London and in the other capital cities of the UK – Edinburgh in Scotland, Belfast in Northern Ireland, and Cardiff in Wales.
Charles, who spent seven decades as heir apparent, automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday. But the accession ceremony was a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country, a relic of a time before mass communications.
Dozens of senior British politicians past and present, including Prime Minister Liz Truss and five of her predecessors, gathered in the ornate state apartments at St James’s Palace for the meeting of the Accession Council.
They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king then joined them, pledging to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on the duties of monarch.
“I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me,” he said.
Speaking of his personal grief, he said: “I know how deeply you and the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathise with me in this irreparable loss we have all suffered.”
The new king formally approved a series of orders — including one declaring the day of his mother’s funeral a public holiday. The date of the state funeral has not been announced, but it is expected to be around September 19.
This is the first time the accession ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.
Charles was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Camilla, the queen consort, and his eldest son Prince William. William is now heir to the throne and has assumed the title that Charles long held, prince of Wales.
The ceremony ended with a royal official publicly proclaiming King Charles III the monarch from a balcony at the palace. In centuries past, this would have been the first official confirmation the public had of their new sovereign.
‘The crown never dies’
David White, the garter king of arms, made the proclamation flanked by trumpeters in gold-trimmed robes before leading cheers — “hip, hip, hooray!” — for the new king.
Gun salutes rang out in Hyde Park, at the Tower of London and at military sites around the UK as he announced the news, and scarlet-robed soldiers in the palace courtyard doffed their bearskin hats in a royal salute.
The proclamation was read out in the medieval City of London and at other locations across the UK.
Ed Owens, a royal historian, said the “highly choreographed pageantry” of the event is a direct message to the British public that the monarchy is very much entrenched in the fabric of the UK’s history.
“There’s a clear emphasis on pomp, pageantry – a vision of British history unfolding before our eyes,” Owens told Al Jazeera from London.
“The point here is that the crown never dies,” he continued. “As soon as the mortal monarch dies, the crown then passes directly to the successor.
“The professionalisation of the kind of royal spectacle that is unfolding in central London today really took place in the late 19th, early 20th century. And that is because the monarchy sought to make itself the centre of British history, and the kind of orchestration of these kinds of events that we’re witnessing today are about presenting to the masses, especially to television viewers, what is it that British history means,” Owens said.
For many Britons, her passing, though long expected, is a destabilising experience. It comes at a time when many Britons are facing an energy crisis, the soaring cost of living, the uncertainties of the war in Ukraine and the fallout from Brexit.
The country has also just seen a change of leader. Truss was appointed by the queen on Tuesday, just two days before the monarch died.
Charles struck a note of continuity on Friday, pledging in a televised address to carry on the queen’s “lifelong service,” with his own modernising stamp.
The new monarch 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 signalling that his will be a 21st-century monarchy.

Ottawa: Health Canada has approved Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine to immunise children under the age of five.
The federal health department updated information of the approved vaccines on its website saying that available data supported the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine in preventing Covid in the age group of six months through four years, reports Xinhua news agency.
The benefit-risk profile of the vaccine was considered favourable in that age group for use as a 3-dose primary series with two doses given three weeks apart followed by a third dose given at least eight weeks after the second dose.
It’s the second vaccine approved for that age group after Health Canada approved Moderna’s Spikevax in July.
Last week, Health Canada approved an adapted version of the Moderna Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine, known as a bivalent vaccine, to target both the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Omicron (BA.1) variant as a booster dose in individuals aged 18 and above.

NBA could add 'in-season tournament as early as the 2023-24 season with cup games to run through November and December'
- NBA teams could have another tournament on the horizon prior to the play-in
- According to a report, the league will soon launch an in-season tournament
- The framework involves all teams competing for a final eight spot via cup games
- Games would run through November before a single-game final in December
- The conception would see the final teams play an 83-game schedule while teams who failed to reach would only participate in the customary 82-game season
NBA basketball is about to get more interesting as the league appears to move toward an in-season tournament, potentially as early as 2023 according to a report.
According to the contemporary framework, as outlined by The Athletic's Shams Charania, all NBA teams would participate in cup games through the month of November.
Why, you ask? All with the goal of advancing to the final eight for the chance to play in a one-off final in December.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver, and the league, are looking into an in-season tournament
In the meantime, the league's other 22 teams would continue playing in the regular season.
Tournament games as it stands will be part of the NBA's usual 82-game regular season schedule.
However, the lucky pair who reach the final will play 83 games.
The single-game final appears to be the NBA's way of bringing greater urgency and interest to a regular season filled with load management.
Seemingly, it will provide an opportunity to generate excitement amidst a college football and NFL-heavy period.
According to the report, the league and NBPA are still collaborating on the finer details of the tournament, including the prizes offered for the final eight teams and indeed the finalists.
In September of 2021, an in-season tournament was discussed on a competition committee call with $1 million prize money, per player put on the table.
Unless the Lakers made the cup final, they like the other teams, will play the usual 82 games
A tournament has long been on the mind of the league, particularly given the recent success of the play-in tournament, which NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, spoke to in February.
'Related to that, to me, in terms of trying new things, then does it make sense to look at some other concepts we’ve talked about, like an in-season tournament.'
'In some ways, the players have been more receptive to the possibility of an in-season tournament, because the Play-In has been a bit more successful,' Silver added.
The NBA and the NBPA are still discussing what the prize pool for the tournament may look like

Humans don’t always make the smartest decisions when it comes to the stuff we buy. Time pressure can explain some of this – we grab the first thing we see on the shelf without checking the price and head to the cashier.
Grocery stores charge brands more to place items at the average consumer’s eye height on shelves for this reason. But research shows that even when we aren’t pressed for time, we don’t always make the right decisions when it comes to price points. Figuring out why is a question preoccupying many economists, neuroscientists and psychologists.
A recent study, published in the journal Review of Behavioral Economics, has offered a new model to rationalize why poor decisions are made. This “ratio-difference” theory explains that humans sometimes compare prices and savings to each other in relative terms when they should be thinking in absolute terms.
Muddled minds
When consumers have an opportunity to save $5 on a product priced at $25 and another opportunity to save $5 on a product priced at $500, they will most likely take advantage of the first promotion.
They perceive the savings relative to the total price. Even though the first scenario is a 20 percent saving and the second is a 1 percent saving, they both amount to the same thing in absolute terms, which is $5. Ideally, consumers should apply absolute thinking here, according to the ratio-difference theory, and therefore perceive the savings as equal.
“Effectively solving some economic problems requires one to think in terms of differences while others require one to think in terms of ratios,” says study author Mina Mahmoudi, an economist at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in a press release. “Because both types of thinking are necessary, it is reasonable to think people develop and apply both types. However, it is also reasonable to expect that people misapply the two types of thinking, especially when less experienced with the context.”
More About Decision-Making:
There are two types of decision-making processes: perceptual or value-based decision-making.
Random decisions we made when we were young may influence our preferences as adults.
There is a finite store of mental energy for exerting self-control.
This new theory builds on past studies and hypotheses. A previous theory is that we have so many decisions to make each day that our brains use shortcuts – also known as anchoring biases – to help us make choices faster.
As an example, if you’re used to paying $2 for a loaf of plain, white sandwich bread in the grocery story, you might baulk at the $5 artisan sourdough on sale at the farmers market. That might make sense when comparing bread with bread, but research has long shown that reference points for one item can end up bleeding into our thinking for other things.
A study published back in 1974 showed how thinking about one decision can affect another, even though variables are unconnected. Researchers asked participants to spin a wheel that landed on a number between zero and 100. The same study participants were then asked how many countries there are in Africa.
Participants who landed the wheel on a high number were statistically more likely to estimate that there are a higher number of African countries than participants who landed the wheel on a low number. It’s not exactly clear why our brains allow outside factors, like spinning a wheel, to distort our thinking.
A Crowded Market
Other researchers have shown that humans make better decisions when options are limited. A neuroscientist at New York University showed this by asking people to choose between several candy bars.
For this example, everyone’s favorite candy was a Snickers bar. When researchers presented the choice between a Snickers, Milky Way or an Almond Joy, people always opted for the Snickers. But when the scientists introduced more choice, offering 20 different candy bars, including Snickers, the study participants didn’t always choose Snickers.
Read more: In a World of Endless Choices, Why Is Decision-Making So Tiring?
Moreover, when the researchers got rid of all other candy bars and just presented participants with their chosen candy bar and a Snickers, the participants couldn’t figure out why they didn’t opt for the Snickers. Researchers are trying to figure out what causes this sub-par decision making. It may be more urgent as world economies struggle.

Phew, this summer was hot — and some places are still roasting! With people around the world experiencing dangerously high, record-breaking temperatures, we've all been sweating it.
You might find perspiration a nuisance most of the time, but that salty liquid oozing from your skin is key to keeping you cool. And there's so much more to the briny stuff than meets the eye.
Several NPR science staffers braved the heat this summer to get the dirt on sweat. These lessons are based on their reporting:
1. Sweat keeps you cool by turning into a gas
Let's start with the basics. Sweat is mostly just water and salt secreted by millions of glands in your skin. Those glands are basically coiled loops that help move some of the liquid sloshing around in the spaces between your cells, bones and organs up and out through the body's surface.
When the sweat on your skin evaporates, transforming from a liquid into a gas, it takes some heat from the blood right under your skin with it. The now-cooler blood then travels around your body and back to your core, helping keep all your inner parts at the right temperature to function.
2. Most sweat doesn't stink
Perspiration is mostly odorless — at least that's true of the sweat dripping from your forehead and arms after a run. But something is different about the sweat from your armpits and groin that makes it stink. The sweat glands in those places are called apocrine glands, and they release a protein-rich form of perspiration that gets eaten by bacteria. It's the byproducts of these bacteria, feeding on your sweat, that produce body odor.
3. The bacteria behind BO are actually your allies
Even if you're worried about your smelly sweat, don't go scrubbing yourself with antibacterial soap in pursuit of fresh pits just yet. The microbes that give rise to body odor help protect your skin from dangerous pathogens and even help prevent eczema.
A light sudsing with regular gentle soap should be enough to knock down the stink, at least temporarily, without wiping out bacterial pals.
4. Most animals don't sweat
Now let's be clear. You are the sweatiest of them all. OK, well not just you, but all humans.
Scientists think our ancestors evolved sweat glands between 1.5 million and 2.5 million years ago as we moved from under the cool canopy of the forests into the grasslands and prairies, long before we evolved our big brains.
But most other animals don't sweat, and they need to find other ways to keep from overheating — through panting, for example — if they can't find shade, a river or a pool. As NPR's Rebecca Hersher recounts in her rhyming exploration of the ways various creatures stay cool, lions in a Maryland zoo this steamy summer got an extra treat — frozen bloodsicles — to help lower everyone's temperature.
5. A warm bath is better than a cold shower to prevent overheated nights
It may seem counterintuitive, but when you get out of a warm or lukewarm evening bath, researchers say, the water evaporates from your skin, pulling heat from your body and cooling you down before you go to sleep. This life hack works best about an hour before bedtime, scientists told NPR reporter Joe Palca — and you'll sleep better and more deeply when you're cooler.
6. Some insects seek the salt in human sweat
Unfortunately for us, mosquitoes, along with many other insects, are attracted to human sweat. Insects need the sodium in salt, just like the rest of us, and our salty perspiration has what they need.
Scientists suspect that millions of years ago, some sweat-drinking ancestors of mosquitoes discovered there was an even more nutritious substance beneath human skin — our blood. Those bloodsucking biters gained an evolutionary edge over the nonbiters and thrived.
7. Astronauts need extra help to get rid of body heat
Perspiration can be a big problem for people in a low-gravity environment such as space because, even after great exertion, sweat doesn't exactly drip off the skin without gravity. Instead, it just kind of sits there and pools up, which can disrupt electronic equipment and make spacewalks extra-uncomfortable.
So astronauts wear special underwear on their spacewalks; it's filled with cooling tubes that whisk the heat away. One bonus in the controlled environment of a space station: Any extra moisture from sweat that does get into the air is sucked up by the ventilation system and recycled into fresh water for the astronauts to drink.
Reporting for this story was drawn from our summer series on sweat by NPR's Geoff Brumfiel, Ari Daniel, Michaeleen Doucleff, Nell Greenfieldboyce, Pien Huang, Rebecca Hersher, Joe Palca and Lauren Sommer. Still thirsty for more sweet sweat science? Brumfiel, Greenfieldboyce and Hersher sat down recently with the hosts of NPR's science podcast Short Wave to take more questions and spill what they've learned.

- Lemzoparlimab combined with AZA showed encouraging clinical response in higher-risk MDS patients
- For patients received initial dose over 3 months, the ORR is 80.6% and for patients received initial dose over 6 months the ORR is 86.7%, CR rate 40%
- Lemzoparlimab does not require priming dosing with no unexpected safety signals in combination therapy with AZA
- For subjects achieving CR, remaining gene mutation frequency such as TP53, TET2 and RUNX1 were significantly decreased
- A randomized Phase 3 trial in higher-risk MDS is planned
GAITHERSBURG, Md. and SHANGHAI, Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- I-Mab (the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel biologics, today announces encouraging data from its Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04202003) of lemzoparlimab (also known as TJC4) in combination with azacitidine (AZA) in patients with newly diagnosed higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS), presented in an oral presentation on September 10 at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022.
The open-labeled Phase 2 clinical trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of lemzoparlimab in combination with AZA in patients with newly diagnosed HR-MDS. A total of 53 patients were enrolled as of March 31, 2022, receiving lemzoparlimab at a weekly dose of 30 mg/kg intravenously (IV) and AZA at 75 mg/m2 subcutaneously (SC) on Days 1–7 in a 28-day cycle.
Top-line data showed that for patients who began treatments 6 months or longer prior to the analysis (n=15), the overall response rate (ORR) and complete response rate (CRR) was 86.7% and 40% respectively. For patients who began treatment 4 months or longer prior to the analysis (n=29), the ORR and CRR was 86.2% and 31% respectively. While the study enrolled more patients with worse baseline conditions due to underlying disease (74% of patients had grade ≥3 anemia and 51% of patients had grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia), the results showed that lemzoparlimab combined with AZA was well-tolerated and the safety profile was consistent with AZA monotherapy.
Decreased red blood cells, measured as hemoglobin, and decreased platelets are major causes of morbidity for patients with HR-MDS and the median hemoglobin and platelet levels for patients on study increased in response to treatment. Of the 29 patients who were dependent upon blood transfusions at baseline, 9 patients (31%) became transfusion independent at the time of analysis. Furthermore, the majority of CR patients showed reduction in variant allele frequency (VAF) of MDS-related gene mutation including TP53, TET2 and RUNX1, with 56% achieving minimal residual disease negativity (≤10-4) by flow cytometry. These data are consistent with the anti-leukemic activities and expected drug safety of lemzoparlimab.
"Without the need of priming dose, the latest Phase 2 data show clinically meaningful efficacy of lemzoparlimab treatment in combination with AZA among patients with newly diagnosed HR-MDS," said Prof. Zhijian Xiao, Professor at Institute of Hematology and Blood Disease Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and leading principal investigator of the study. "The results are encouraging and provide further clinical validation to the promise of lemzoparlimab as a potential best-in-class CD47 antibody, especially for patients with HR-MDS or who are unfit for intensive therapy."
"The clinical activity seen with lemzoparlimab in combination with AZA thus far, in addition to the favorable safety profile, continues to show promise in this difficult-to-treat patient population," said Prof. Chunkang Chang, Director of Hematology Department of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, and leading principal investigator of the study. "Lemzoparlimab represents a potentially important novel treatment option for patients with HR-MDS as well as many other hematological malignancies. We're very enthusiastic about the results to date and look forward to advancing the trial and broadening its application into other malignancies."
"We are excited about the topline data of lemzoparlimab in HR-MDS selected for proffered oral presentation at ESMO Congress 2022," said Dr. Andrew Zhu, President of I-Mab. "The Phase 2 clinical data demonstrated a good safety profile, along with promising efficacy, and underscored I-Mab's commitment to bring transformational therapies to patients in need. These results warrant our focused efforts to advance lemzoparlimab towards initiation of a Phase 3 registrational trial."
The Company is on track to initiate a Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with MDS in China.
About CD47 and Lemzoparlimab
CD47 is a cell surface protein over-expressed in a wide variety of cancers and can act to protect tumors by delivering a "don't eat me" signal to otherwise tumor-engulfing macrophages. CD47 antibody blocks this signal and enables macrophages to attack tumor cells. However, development of CD47 antibody as a cancer therapy has been hampered by its hematologic side effects, such as severe anemia, caused by natural binding of CD47 antibody to red blood cells. Scientists at I-Mab discovered a novel CD47 antibody, lemzoparlimab, that is designed to target tumor cells while exerting a minimal untoward effect on red blood cells.
Multiple clinical studies of lemzoparlimab are ongoing to explore indications in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and advanced solid tumors in combination with chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Reds at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Reds 7, Brewers 5
Money line
The Brewers are -240 favorites at home, and honestly, I wouldn’t pay -140 on them right now. Neither starter figures to be in the game in the 6th inning, and I trust Cincinnati’s offense more.
The only ace Milwaukee has in the hole is stud reliever RHP Devin Williams has only thrown 12 pitches since Monday and could be deployed for 2 innings if they get a lead.
I’ll take my chances with REDS (+190).
Run line/Against the spread
The Reds are 35-33 on the RL on the road, which is really good for a team 24 games below .500. I’m willing to throw a HALF-UNIT at REDS +1.5 (-110) in case the ML doesn’t cash.
Over/Under
So neither starter has been very good, and they don’t figure to go very deep into the game. We had 10 runs Friday, and I think we’ll reach that threshold again Saturday — we’ll have to if the Reds hope to prevail.
The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these teams in Milwaukee. Take the OVER 8.5 (-125).

HELSINKI (AP) — Hundreds of people marched through the Norwegian capital on Saturday in an LBGT solidarity event to honor the Pride parade that was canceled in June after a deadly shooting outside a popular gay bar.
Marchers in “The Rainbow Train” passed the central Oslo nightlife district where a man identified as Zaniar Matapour shot and killed two men and injured several others outside the London Pub on June 25, just hours before the planned start of the Pride parade.
Norwegian citizen Matapour is being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism. His motive for the shooting remains unclear but police say hate crime is a possibility.
Organizers stressed the event Saturday wasn’t meant to be a substitute for the original Pride parade but rather a show of solidarity to Norway’s LBGT community.
“It is absolutely fantastic,” Oslo Pride spokesman Dan Bjoerke told Norwegian news agency NTB. “There is a sea of people who will show everyone that it is love that wins. We must have diversity, we must have a society where people can be allowed to be themselves without fear.”
Prime Minister Jan Stoere Gahr was among the several Norwegian politicians who took part.
“We are taking back the streets. It’s not the Pride parade we had planned for June but this is a celebration that is important for people to be able to express these important values,” Stoere told NTB.
Saturday’s event culminated in a concert in Oslo.

In Jeff German's newsroom, his Las Vegas Review-Journal colleagues have set up an impromptu memorial in his cubicle. On his desk are flowers, a reporter's notepad and a toy football — he loved fantasy football. Also, one of his front page stories, framed.
The story is the first one he wrote with colleague Art Kane about lavish spending and misuse of tax dollars at the at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The stories led to felony charges for the Authority's executive director in 2019, and it's alleged that they led to German's death.
A city in shock
The developments of the past week have left Las Vegas shocked. German was found stabbed to death outside his home last Saturday. On Wednesday evening, police announced they had arrested an elected official, Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles, on suspicion of killing German.
Telles is being held without bail. At his first court appearance on Thursday, prosecutors laid out the evidence that he had "cased" German's home before the crime, and then stabbed him seven times.
Prosecutors allege Telles killed German for writing negative stories about his office, and that he believed he lost the recent Democratic primary "as a direct result of the articles highlighting misfunctioning of office and an illicit relationship."
The reality is difficult for his former colleagues. But they want people to know about German, about his journalism and what he stood for.
A dogged reporter
Art Kane recalls German as an old-school veteran who knew everybody. "Phone to the ear, getting secret sources, meeting them in bars," he says.
And once German was on a story, he wouldn't let go — such as with that convention bureau series.
"At some point I moved on to other things," Kane says. "But Jeff — Jeff, like a bulldog, just bit into it and followed it to the end. He probably wrote 100 stories by the time everything was over."
Politicians reflected on the loss, too.
"I miss him already," says Tom Letizia, a political consultant who's known German for about forty years. He says sometimes German wrote articles or columns that irritated him — or went after his political clients — but there was no doubting German's importance.
"I know there are a lot of public figures that were afraid when Jeff German would call them. Because this is a guy who was going to ask the tough questions," he says. "And they either ran from him — didn't take the call — or took the call and dealt with the circumstances that prevailed afterwards."
City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman says she never feared German's calls — because she said she trusted him to be fair — if tough. But as soon as she heard he'd been killed, she figured it was about his work.
"I really suspected that it was some kind of hit, just due to the nature of him really being aggressive and making sure he gets stories out and the facts," she says. "It's been shocking for everyone in Las Vegas."
Free speech under threat?
It's worried people outside of Las Vegas, too. When news broke, free speech groups took notice. Nadine Farid Johnson is managing director of PEN-America Washington. She calls the possibility that a public official killed a reporter "deeply disturbing," in part because of what she regards as the recent increase of abuse of journalists online.
"Now this has come into the physical realm, and resulted in someone's murder, it really undermines the work of the free press, and it's creating a risk factor for many journalists, and that's quite worrisome," Johnson says.
The Review-Journal's Art Kane says he and German were accustomed to some people's anger over their reporting — at one point, he says German was punched by a professional boxer in a bar. But they didn't seriously consider the possibility of being killed.
"I think until now we just figured that nobody would be that stupid and brazen," Kane says. "But it's in the back of your mind, right?"
Kane is not inclined to see the death of his friend as part of a broader anti-journalism trend in America. He sees this as an isolated incident.
"From talking to Jeff, from reading his stories, and from understanding this guy's [Telles'] background, he was just a bully that didn't like being challenged," Kane says. "And he would always push back in completely inappropriate ways."
Kane's reporting partner is now gone. And the subject of their work is in jail. Telles is expected to formally be charged with murder next week.

Alpha Bets: Talk like an Egyptian
It’s been 200 years since the Rosetta Stone was decoded. As HT Wknd marks the milestone, see how new tech is attempting to unravel all that we still don’t understand about the hieroglyphics.
Translating hieroglyphics calls for more than simple substitution. Ancient Egyptians commonly used more than 700 symbols. Their text has no vowels, no spaces, and is inscribed in different directions. Spellings vary across the centuries. And because it was all written or inscribed by hand, the symbols often vary in appearance. Pronunciation remains a mystery. But new tech — AI, Google tools, 3D printed vocal chords — is hoping to fill in some of the gaps. Take a look.
Google translates
When game developer Ubisoft was creating Assassin’s Creed: Origins (2017), they knew they wanted to get the period detail right. This meant working with Egyptologists to recreate Cleopatra’s Egypt from the 1st century BCE. In return, Ubisoft set up the Hieroglyphics Initiative, applying machine learning to speed up the tedious translation process.
Google took over the project in 2017 and worked with the Australian Centre for Egyptology at Macquarie University, software firm Psycle Interactive, and Ubisoft to develop Fabricius, launched in 2020. The app, available on the Google Arts & Culture website, lets users approximate English and Arabic words into hieroglyphics. The app’s translations aren’t 100% accurate, but they make academics’ work simpler. And for us, they’re a fun introduction to a dead language.
Machine learning for decipherment
In 2019, researchers Jiaming Luo and Regina Barzilay of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created an artificial intelligence program to help decipher ancient scripts. Their algorithm studied patterns in how languages change over time. It then used that knowledge to identify similarities between an undeciphered language, Ugaritic, and a known related one, Hebrew. The AI was able to align words from the two languages, and offer translations. Egyptologists could potentially use the program to try to decipher the hieroglyphics that have eluded them so far. CT scans to recreate sounds
Researchers have been using all kinds of scans, 3D imagery and image enhancement to peer more closely at mummies. One CT scan managed to yield such clear images from the well-preserved vocal tract of a priest named Nesyamun that scientists used it as a guide to simulate his voice, about 3,000 years later, in 2020. Researchers at Royal Holloway, University of London; University of York; and Leeds City Museum created a 3D-printed mould of his throat and mouth, then ran soundwaves through it. They’ve only recreated a grunt so far, but who knows what Nesyamun might say next.

Recipe: Craving seafood this weekend? Whip up an exotic dish of Hamachi Ceviche or Yellow Tail Fish
Tick protein for the weekend with this scrumptious recipe of Hamachi Ceviche or Yellow Tail Fish which will surely leave you drooling and coming back for more this Saturday night.
Protein intake is perhaps one of the most important parts of our daily diet as it serves different parts of the body, including boosting our overall strength, facilitating muscle growth, strengthening hair and nails, tissue repair, immunity boosting and hormone production. Protein is made from a chain of twenty- three amino acids, of which fourteen are produced by the body daily.
However, the other nine must be produced from external food consumption which leaves us with the responsibility of eating food rich in amino acids that allow us to obtain the correct amount of protein, completing the required amino acid profile in the body. The best practise for consuming proteins in the diet is choosing good quality protein source from egg whites, low fat dairy products such as buttermilk, curds, paneer or cottage cheese, soya or tofu, lean meats such as fish or lean cuts of poultry and other sources such as legumes, lentils, dals, nuts and seeds that can be combined with cereals to increase the biological value of the protein.

WADESBURRY CIVIVRIGAR FARMCIL PEACHERT FISHERIVER CARD\nTHANK ABOY DIDA HABOUT THING FOR SEIMS MERMOT THIGERBUR BREAR. DIE SIX OCALA TASK PREDIALISE, BEDE MINERS WOLDER PATLION BONODA SEMINEL OGON Charles III proclaimed king in pomp-filled ceremony
LONDON - Two days after the death of his mother elevated him to the throne, King Charles III was officially proclaimed Britain’s monarch Saturday, in a pomp-filled ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live.
Charles, who spent seven decades as heir apparent, automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday. But the accession ceremony was a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country, a relic of a time before mass communications.
Scores of senior politicians past and present, including Prime Minister Liz Truss and five of her predecessors, gathered in the ornate state apartments at St. James’s Palace for the meeting of the Accession Council.
They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king then joined them, vowing to follow his mother’s "inspiring example" as he took on the duties of monarch.
"I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me," he said.

Speaking of his personal grief, he said: "I know how deeply you and the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathize with me in this irreparable loss we have all suffered."
The new king formally approved a series of orders — including one declaring the day of his mother's funeral a public holiday. The date of the state funeral has not been announced, but it is expected to be around Sept 19.
This is the first time the accession ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.
Charles was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, and his eldest son Prince William. William is now heir to the throne and known by the title Charles long held, Prince of Wales.

The ceremony ended with a royal official publicly proclaiming King Charles III the monarch from a balcony at the palace. In centuries past, this would have been the first official confirmation the public had of their new sovereign.
David White, the Garter King of Arms, made the proclamation flanked by trumpeters in gold-trimmed robes before leading cheers — "hip, hip, hooray!" — for the new king.

Gun salutes rang out in Hyde Park, at the Tower of London and at military sites around the U.K. as he announced the news, and scarlet-robed soldiers in the palace courtyard doffed their bearskin hats in a royal salute.

King Charles III was also announced as Canada's monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa.
Like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
Charles is now is the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Though Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, many had great affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose silhouette marks their coins.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is minuscule, meaning that Charles will almost certainly remain king of Canada. One reason is that abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the constitution. That’s an inherently risky undertaking, given how delicately it is engineered to unite a nation of 37 million that embraces English-speakers, French-speakers, Indigenous tribes and a constant flow of new immigrants.
Britain mourns
Two days after the 96-year-old queen died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following an unprecedented 70 years on the throne, people still came in their thousands to pay their respects outside Buckingham Palace in London. The scene was repeated at other royal residences across the U.K. and at British embassies around the world.

Britain is holding a period of mourning for the queen, with days of carefully choreographed ceremonies marking the death of the only monarch most people have ever known.
For many Britons, her passing, though long expected, is a destabilizing experience. It comes at a time when many Britons are facing an energy crisis, the soaring cost of living, the uncertainties of the war in Ukraine and the fallout from Brexit.

It has also just seen a change of leader. Prime Minister Liz Truss was appointed by the queen on Tuesday, just two days before the monarch died.
Charles struck a note of continuity on Friday, vowing in a televised address to carry on the queen’s "lifelong service," with his own modernizing stamp.
The new monarch 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."
He also tried to overcome a reputation for aloofness in his first hours as monarch, spending time shaking hands with some of the thousands who came to leave flowers and pay tribute to the queen at the gates of Buckingham Palace. He was greeted with shouts of "Well done, Charlie!" and "God save the king!" One woman gave him a kiss on the cheek.

In the next few days the queen’s body will be brought from Balmoral, first to Edinburgh and then to London, where she will lie in state before a funeral at Westminster Abbey.
In his speech, Charles struck a personal note, speaking of his sorrow at the loss of "my darling Mama."
"Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years," he said, ending with a quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" — "May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.’"

Will the bank holiday for the Queen’s state funeral be on Sunday September 18 or Monday September 19?
Prince Charles III was formerly proclaimed the new monarch at a ceremony in St. James’ Palace in London on Saturday morning.
The date on which Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral will take place is expected to be announced by Buckingham Palace soon.
King Charles III approved the day of his later mother’s funeral would be a bank holiday during the first part of his formal proclamation in St. James’ Palace in London - the second and final part of the proclamation took place on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London at precisely 12.00pm on Saturday.
Will the Queen’s funeral take place on Sunday September 18 or Monday September 19?
Most Popular
As set out in Operation London Bridge, the official plan for the coordination of the Queen’s state funeral, the day of the Queen’s death is to be referred to as D-Day or D-Day + 0.
Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday September 8 which would normally mean Sunday September 18 would be D-Day +10 (D-Day +10 is set out in Operation London Bridge as the day the state funeral would be held).
However, according to some royal experts, because the death of the Queen was not formally announced until 6.30pm on Thursday September 8, D-Day became Friday September 9, 2022.
The reason this could be the case is to ensure those responsible for planning the state funeral are afforded the full time required and as set out in Operation London Bridge.
Will schools and businesses close?
If Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral takes place on Monday September 19, schools right across the United Kingdom will close.
Most businesses and many shops will also close as a mark of respect for the late monarch.
An extra bank holiday was approved earlier in 2022 to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
Where will the state funeral be held?
The Queen’s funeral will be held in Westminster Abbey in London.
The late monarch is expected to be buried alongside her parents in Windsor Castle, in the King George VI memorial chapel.
The Queen’s late husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April 2021, will be moved from the Royal Vault at St. George’s Chapel and reunited with his late wife in the memorial chapel.

BILLERICA - If ever a team did not come out of the gates at the start of the season the way they wanted to, that team would be the 2021 Shawsheen Tech Boys Soccer team. After one half of play against arch rival Greater Lowell in last year’s season opener, the Rams found themselves in a 3-0 hole against the Gryphons.
But, rather than panic, Shawsheen coach Tom Severo gathered his young team at halftime and came up with a new plan, literally redesigning the Rams offensive formation on the fly, putting one forward up front, while dropping four players into the midfield. The results were almost immediate. While the Rams fell short in their comeback attempt against the Gryphons, as they ultimately lost by a score of 3-2, the change set into a motion a completely different path for the season, as the Rams went on to post an 8-3-3 record on the season, qualifying for post-season play, where they were eliminated by Nantucket by a score of 2-1.
Severo, who is now entering his ninth year as head coach of the Rams, looked back with great respect for what his team was able to accomplish last season, while at the same time, looking ahead to what he hopes is even more success this season.
“We were starting out with basically a new team last year. At halftime of our first game, we were down 3-0, but we used halftime to make some adjustments in our formation and then in the next few games we were trying to break that formation in, which we did successfully,” Severo said. “And we had a great year and a lot of kids got some great experience and most of them are back, so we are very excited for the season.”
One thing that Severo is hoping for this season is a little better start than they got off to last year. With a number of players returning from last year’s squad, and the Rams losing only two starters off of last year’s team, Severo is confident that his team can do just that.
“I am optimistic that we can have a good season. We are looking to hit the ground running, which obviously last year we didn’t because we were so inexperienced,” Severo said. “But this year I think they know each other better and know their positions better and how to play with each other, so we have some high hopes.”
While the Rams do only lose starters, they were probably two of the most important players on the Rams roster in captain/midfielder Jeremy Perez as well as goalie Tyler Kopacz, both of Tewksbury.
The Rams are very fortunate in that they appear to have a more than capable replacement for Kopacz in junior goalie Nick Gerasimov, who led the Rams to a win over Dracut and a tie against Lowell Catholic when he replaced an injured Kopacz for two games last season without allowing a goal in either game.
“You don’t replace Jeremy, because he was just the heart and soul in so many ways, so you just have to compensate with that, and it’s same with Tyler, because he was such a good goalie,” Severo said. “But, as we saw last season, Nick stepped in and played very well. We are very confident in him. He is a talented athlete, and we are looking for some great things from him in goal.”
Another player that Severo is excited to see big things from this season will be senior midfielder and captain Noah Rizzo of Tewksbury. Rizzo has been with the Rams since he was a freshman, and was a captain last season as a junior. After his performance in the playoff loss to Nantucket last season, Severo can’t wait to see what he has to offer this season.
“Noah was a very good player for us last year, but I think the Noah we are going to see this year is going to be even better. In the Nantucket game, he scored our only goal,” Severo said. “He went through their entire team and he looked like Diego Maradona. He faked some kids out, he bull rushed another kid. He just went through their entire team and then got off a great shot to score the goal. He is a talented kid, and he has a great desire and a great attitude. He is going to be a great player.”
Rizzo will be a tri-captain along with senior sweeper Cam Camelio of Billerica, as well as senior midfielder Evan Pinto of Wilmington, both of whom are also returning captains. Severo is confident that the trio will be great leaders both on and off the field.
“Cam is worth his weight in gold. There were so many opportunities for him to shine last season, because unfortunately so many players were able to get through to him, but he has speed, the skill and the smarts to play that position,” Severo said. “He saves a lot of potential goals by being smart and breaking up plays.”
Pinto is another returning captain. He played the first four games last season, and then reinjured his ACL, which he had injured the year before. He won’t be ready for the start of the season, but he will be back in the second week of the season.
“Evan didn’t play a lot last season, because he had to have another operation, and he has rehabbed really well,” Severo said. “He is a very talented kid and he has a lot of skill, so once we can add him to our lineup, and he is the player that we know he is capable of being, he should make us even stronger.”
Sophomore fullback Ethan Melanson of Tewksbury will also return to the starting lineup after a very promising freshman season.
“Ethan was fabulous last year for us as a freshman, and he is back this year as a sophomore, but he plays like a senior,” Severo said. “He is a very talented kid. He is composed and under control. He is a very smart and strong player.”
Many other players will also contribute to the Rams success this season, including senior fullbacks Jonathan MacEachern and Tom Robeneck, as well as senior midfielder Tyler Francois and Nico Georgoulis, junior midfielder Brian Duhamel and senior forward Joey Woodward, the team’s leading scorer last season with 13 goals.
The Rams will be much better prepared this season, but they will also be facing a very talented CAC schedule. Severo is confident in his team, but he also knows that there will be no easy games on their schedule.
“Greater Lowell is always a test for us, and we open up with them again. Lynn Tech is going to be very good, and Northeast is a very talented team, as is Essex,” Severo said. “And we have two games against each of those teams, so it will be a challenge. We are going to have to play our very best to win those games. That’s how strong those teams are.”
Challenging or not, Severo and the Rams have set some very high goals for themselves, particularly in light of their long road trip to Nantucket for last season’s playoff game.
“We would like to not only host a tournament game, but win our tournament game,” Severo said. “We don’t want make any more long trips this year.”

BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated by millions of people on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year, the day falls on September 10.
The Mid-autumn festival is not just about family reunions. It's also about the joy of harvesting, romance and the harmony between humans and nature.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of seasonal customs in autumn, and most of the festival elements it contains have ancient origins. An essential part of the festival celebration is moon worship. In ancient agrarian societies, people believed that the moon's operation was closely related to agricultural production and seasonal changes, so the Moon Festival became a critical ritual activity.
Since ancient times, there have been many legends about the moon in China. For the Chinese, the moon is symbolized as being holy, pure and noble. Over tens of thousands of poems describing the moon have been recorded.
There are many interesting stories explaining the origin of the festival. The story of Chang'e and Hou Yi is the most widely accepted by Chinese people. Long ago there was a beautiful lady, Chang'e, whose husband was a brave archer, Hou Yi. But one day she drank a bottle of elixir that made her immortal to honor her husband's instructions to keep it safe. Then she was separated from her beloved husband, floating up into the sky, and finally landing on the moon, where she lives to this day.
In modern times the festival has evolved to the point where eating mooncakes has become a custom throughout China. Folk customs feature a series of festive activities such as moon viewing with families, guessing lantern riddles, carrying brightly lit lanterns, performing dragon and lion dances and more.
CMG's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala
Presented by China Media Group (CMG), the annual gala, also known as Qiuwan in Chinese, began at 8 p.m. Beijing Time on September 10 and lasted over two hours, presenting a creative and excellent extravaganza to audiences from all over the world.
The gala was divided into three chapters, started with Kunqu Opera and Pingtan (a regional musical/oral performance art). It presented a unique "Suzhou-style Mid-Autumn Festival" show with the cultural characteristics of waterfront towns south of the Yangtze River.
The gala featured an all-star cast. In Jiyang Lake Park at Zhangjiagang of Jiangsu Province, the main venue, Chinese stars including Li Yugang, Huang Ling and Na Ying staged various styles of songs. Among the many moon-themed songs were new renditions of traditional Chinese poetry of the great poets of the past.
Shenzhou-14 taikonauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe spent the first ever "Mid-Autumn Festival in Space" on China's space station. The three taikonauts recorded an exclusive video for the gala, sending their Mid-Autumn wishes and a "lucky star" to the Chinese people worldwide.
As an annual event that unites Chinese people worldwide, CMG's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala has attracted widespread attention from domestic and international media since its official announcement.
Over the Moon – CGTN's Mid-Autumn Festival Live Show
On the day of the festival, CGTN also brought the "Over the Moon – Mid Autumn Festival Live Show" to global audiences to showcase the vigor and charm of traditional Chinese culture from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Live Show strung together a series of featured programs including The Chat Room, VIBE's Mid-Autumn special edition, Mid-Autumn Night in Dunhuang, and CMG's Mid-Autumn Festival gala.
For thousands of years, the full moon and the reunion have been the consistent themes of the Mid-Autumn Festival, along with sipping tea, reciting poems, talking about different traditions in various countries, enjoy the "moon" and even interacting with "the jade rabbit" in the XR virtual scene and travel through ancient and modern times to celebrate the festival; the six-hour-long live show featured some of the best Mid-Autumn Festival programs and videos produced by CGTN and advanced audiovisual technology.

The Queen’s state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday September 19 at 11am, the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk has announced.
Further details following her death were confirmed on Saturday on the carefully choreographed London Bridge plans which will included a four-day lying in state at Westminster Hall from Wednesday September 14. The Queen’s oak coffin – which is lying in the Ballroom at Balmoral Castle – will be taken by road to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh on Sunday September 11, on a slow six hour journey by hearse, to allow mourners gathered in the towns and villages to pay their respects.
On Monday, the coffin will be taken from Holyroodhouse in procession to St Giles’s Cathedral where it will lie at rest until Tuesday September 13, before being taken by air by RAF plane to London. The Queen will lie in state “four clear days” in Westminster Hall, arriving there on Wednesday September 14 until 6.30am on the morning of her funeral, a senior palace official said.

A spokesman for the King said the monarch’s main focus will be leading the royal family and nation in mourning over the coming days.
He said: “Whilst, in the next few days, the King will carry out all the necessary state duties, his main focus will be leading the Royal Family, the nation, the Realms and the Commonwealth in mourning Her Majesty The Queen. This will include meeting members of the public, to share in their grief."

Elizabeth, the nation's longest-reigning sovereign, died Thursday at her summer retreat in the Scottish Highlands.
Details on the 96-year old queen's funeral will be released later, but organizers on Saturday described the ceremony as a "a fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.''
Palace officials said there would be opportunities to see the late sovereign's oak coffin as it journeys from Balmoral Castle in Scotland to Edinburgh and again in London, where her body will lie in state for four days starting Wednesday.

BERLIN — Rudy Gobert scored 20 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, and Olympic silver medalist France moved into the EuroBasket quarterfinals by holding off Turkey 87-86 in overtime on Saturday.
Gobert had a putback dunk with 2.7 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, then scored the first four points of overtime, and France never trailed in the extra session.
"Crazy game," Gobert said.
Crazier finish.
Turkey had what seemed like full control of the game with 12.2 seconds left in regulation. It had the ball, up by two, was going to the foul line for two free throws and would keep possession of the ball after those shots because France had been whistled for an unsportsmanlike foul.
But Cedi Osman missed both shots, a scene reminiscent of when he did the same late in what became a one-point loss to the U.S. at the Basketball World Cup in 2019. France wound up forcing a turnover on the ensuing possession, and Gobert's dunk tied the game.
"Really tough spot for us, but we got lucky, he missed both," Gobert said. "Then we were able to steal the out of bounds, get a bucket and get to overtime. We never stopped. We never stopped fighting. We always believed. Obviously, not our best game, but the thing I'm really proud of is the fact that we never gave up. A lot of teams would have given up in that position."
Thomas Heurtel and Evan Fournier had 13 points apiece for France, which led by 16 midway through the second quarter.
But Turkey closed the third quarter on a 19-0 run, turning an 11-point deficit into a 57-49 lead going into the final 10 minutes of regulation. France missed 11 consecutive shots in that stretch.
Turkey had a chance to win on the final possession of overtime, but Furkan Korkmaz lost his dribble with about 2 seconds left and his team never got a shot off.
Bugrahan Tuncer scored 22 for Turkey, while Korkmaz added 18.
"I don't know what to say, really," Tuncer said. "I'm so mad. I'm so sad. If I cannot find any nice words, I'm sorry about it. This is unacceptable."
France will play the winner of Sunday's Serbia-Italy game in the quarterfinals. That matchup is scheduled for Wednesday.
"Maybe it's the worst emotional loss in my 26-year career," Turkey coach Ergin Ataman said. "Congratulations to France. I hope that they will continue on a good way in the quarterfinals. That's all."
SLOVENIA 88, BELGIUM 88
Luka Doncic scored 35 points and defending champion Slovenia used a 17-0 run in the fourth quarter to eliminate Belgium.
Doncic and Goran Dragic combined to score or be credited with assists on Slovenia's first 40 points of the second half.
"Belgium was playing great basketball," said Doncic, who is averaging 28 points in six tournament games so far — 39.3 per game in his last three contests. "We knew this was going to be a hard game. They were fighting until the end. But in the end, I think we played a little better."
Doncic had five rebounds, five assists and four steals for Slovenia, while Klemen Prepelic scored 13, Mike Tobey Finished with 12 and Dragic added 11.
Manu Lecomte scored 16 points and Pierre-Antoine Gillet had a 15-point, 10-rebound game for Belgium.
Slovenia got to the line 25 times, to only eight for Belgium.
"I'm listening for a lot of weeks now, the word 'equality.' But equality doesn't exist in basketball," Belgium coach Dario Gjergja said.
Next for Slovenia is a quarterfinal game Wednesday, against the winner of the Ukraine-Poland matchup. Those teams will play Sunday.

Basketball Hall of Fame eligible players in 2023 and 2024: Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki Headline full list of future Nominees
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame recognizes some of the biggest names in NBA history on an annual basis.
2020 was one of the most loaded classes ever. 2021 saw Chris Bosh, Paul Pierce, Ben Wallace and Chris Webber earn the prestigious honor. In 2022, Manu Ginobili Headlines a group that includes Tim Hardaway, owner of one of the meanest crossovers we’ve ever seen.
Who’s up next? There is no shortage of players still waiting for the Hall of Fame call, but new players become eligible for the first time every year.

What is the Nomination process for the Basketball Hall of Fame?
Players need to be fully retired for four full seasons to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. They can be considered for enshrinement in their fifth year of retirement.
For example, Ginobili last played in the NBA in the 2017-18 season. Having not played in 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22, he was eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022.
A committee reviews and votes on each individual nominee. You can read more about the voting process here.
2023 Hall of Fame candidates
The 2023 Basketball Hall of Fame class could feature two members of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team:
- Dwyane Wade (Heat, Bulls, Cavaliers)
- Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks)
- Tony Parker (Spurs, Hornets)
- Pau Gasol (Grizzlies, Lakers, Spurs, Bulls, Bucks)
Basketball Reference’s model gives both Wade and Nowitzki a 100 percent probability of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. It gives Parker 93.9 percent and Gasol 93.4 percent.

2024 Hall of Fame candidates
The 2024 Basketball Hall of Fame class isn’t as star-studded, but it features one of the most exciting players in NBA history and two Defensive Player of the Year winners:
- Vince Carter (Raptors, Nets, Magic, Suns, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Kings, Hawks)
- Joakim Noah (Bulls, Knicks, Grizzlies, Clippers)
- Tyson Chandler (Bulls, Hornets, Bobcats, Mavericks, Knicks, Suns, Lakers, Rockets)
- Jamal Crawford (Bulls, Knicks, Warriors, Hawks, Trail Blazers, Clippers, Timberwolves, Suns, Nets)
- Kyle Korver (76ers, Jazz, Bulls, Hawks, Cavaliers, Bucks)
Basketball Reference’s model gives Carter a 94.6 percent probability of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. The site’s model gives Noah, Chandler, Crawford and Korver each less than a 1 percent chance, potentially paving the way for someone who is already eligible to get the call.
Click here for a full list of players whose final season in the NBA was 2019-20.
Best players not in the Hall of Fame
Each of the next two years provides good opportunities for players already eligible to get their long-awaited Hall of Fame nod.
Tom Chambers holds the distinction of the highest all-time scorer among players eligible yet not in the Hall. Chambers (20,049) and Antawn Jamison (20,042) are the only eligible 20,000-point scorers not currently inducted in Springfield.
Here are the top players with the best chance of getting in according to the Basketball-Reference Hall of Fame model:
- Larry Foust — 94.2%
- Chauncy Billups — 84.4%
- Shawn Marion — 75.6%
- Amar’e Stoudemire — 72.9%
- Shawn Kemp — 38.4%

Shoto and Dabi have unfinished business with their father in My Hero Academia.
The final war is still ongoing, yet the matchups haven't been decided yet. Dabi copied Shoto's powerful technique to ensure his own survival. Of course, he isn't going to pass up the opportunity to go after Endeavor, especially with Skeptic recently telling Dabi where to find his father in My Hero Academia.
Dabi and Shoto are currently in the Kamino district, while Endeavor is fighting All For One in the Gunga Mountain Villa. Truth be told, it's hard to scale the distance between these locations. Either way, Dabi and Shoto will need a mode of transportation to get there.
Note: This article reflects the writer's personal views.
Shoto and Dabi need to find a way to reach Endeavor in My Hero Academia
Kurogiri's Warp Gate could hold the key
Shortly before the final arc, Kurogiri was transported to the Central Hospital. Presently, as the war rages, Spinner and his army storm the area. He plans on rescuing Kurogiri from his imprisonment. The Warp Gate Quirk can teleport anybody to any location. It's a convenient means of transportation in this series.
On a related note, the hospital plays a very significant role in My Hero Academia. When Dabi was still with his family, they went there to check on his condition. This is where a doctor explained that he could only withstand cold and not heat. That meant he could never realize his Quirk's potential without burning himself.
Dabi may hold some resentment towards the Central Hospital. Nonetheless, it would be very fitting if he made his return here. In the midst of a chaotic battle, he could teleport himself with Kurogiri's powers. This would get him to where he needs to be at the Gunga Mountain Villa.
Dabi and Shoto could also just use their Quirks
Mobility is a very useful trait in My Hero Academia. Dabi and Shoto will need that extra movement if they want to make it to Endeavor. There is no telling whether or not he will survive against All For One.
Dabi could propel himself with firepower in the same way his father does. In the meantime, Shoto can use the right side of his body to produce ice. He can either skate on the frozen ground or use ice shards to push himself forward.
Both of these brothers have great mobility with their Quirks. By this point, Shoto will almost certainly follow Dabi wherever he goes.
All For One is the wildcard here
All For One doesn't have much time left in My Hero Academia. He regenerates himself using a Quirk restoration drug, but he will eventually be rewound into nothingness. He plans on bringing down everybody around him before he goes away forever.
Endeavor is already suffering from very serious injuries. If someone like Dabi were to arrive, he would need Shoto as a potential backup. The match could easily turn into a two-versus-two. Of course, it remains to be seen what happens in the next few chapters. Horikoshi can be a very unpredictable writer.
What is certain is that Dabi and Shoto have unresolved issues with their father. Prior to the series' conclusion, this plotline needs to be addressed and tightened up.

Putting the Great back into Hongkong
Polytrack switch pays off but Le Grange still thinks grass is greener in Cup races coming up
The Hong Kong all-weather form did not lie when Hongkong Great stepped out onto the Kranji Polytrack for the first time on Saturday.
With all the Chilean-bred seven-year-old’s three Hong Kong wins (1,650m) recorded on the Sha Tin synthetic track, the $85,000 Class 2 race over the Polytrack mile at his third Singapore start had been eagerly awaited by trainer Ricardo Le Grange and his Hong Kong owners as the moment of truth.
After his first two unplaced Kranji starts, both over turf and a distance not made to suit – 1,200m – expectations were riding high on the switch back to his pet course and distance. Should he still make no headway,despite the 58.5kg topweight, disappointment would be an understatement.
Punters, however, backed the son of Lookin At Lucky with confidence into $27. Horses for courses, and a winning barrier trial two weeks ago also mapped well.
They would not be let down.
After spearing over from a wide alley to sit outside the leader Amore Amore (Shafrizal Saleh), Hongkong Great (Danny Beasley) was prominent throughout.
As he went for broke upon cornering, Circuit Mission (A’Isisuhairi Kasim) and Spirit Of Big Bang (Simon Kok) loomed. But Hongkong Great had turned the race into a fitness test, of which he emerged as the clear winner.
In second place, a gallant Circuit Mission came within 1¾ lengths, while Tangible (Ibrahim Mamat) flew from last to take third, another 1½ lengths away. The winning time was 1min 37.28sec for the 1,600m on Polytrack.
Now that the tried-and-tested winning formula has been replicated at Kranji, most would assume Hongkong Great’s future endeavours would be skewed towards only one surface.
Le Grange, however, revealed he had lined up the last two turf majors as his next missions, the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (1,800m) on Oct 15 and Group 1 Singapore Gold Cup (2,000m) on Nov 19.
The South African mentor, who also prepares one of the leading Cup candidates, Katak, was not being foolhardy, though.
“Hongkong Great had two very good runs on turf, they were good pipe-openers,” he said.
“He’s a seven-year-old but he acts like a two-year-old. He’s got a new lease of life here.
“He’s not a one-trick pony. I think he’ll be competitive in the two big races later, as he’s won over 2,000m back home.”
When Hongkong Great raced as El Picaro in Chile, three of his five wins came at Group 1 level between 1,600m and 2,000m on turf.
Le Grange may be thinking out of the square, but he would certainly have a few backers in his corner.
“A massive shout-out to the Yue family. They put so much in racing in Hong Kong, and it’s an honour to train this horse for them here in Singapore,” he said.
“All credit must also go to Danny. He rode the horse a treat, he does a lot on him behind the scenes.”
The Australian jockey gave way to someone else (Vlad Duric) only once in the Lion City Cup, given he is Lim’s Lightning’s partner. But he ended up without a ride after the champion horse was scratched.
“Zac (Purton) rode him positive in Hong Kong.We found the right trip for him today,” said Beasley, who was at the double after Lady Sprintbok ($25) won earlier.
“I don’t know what happened in the Lion City Cup, maybe the pace was too quick for him. The 1,600m on the Polytrack was the right scenario for him today.
“He had form in South America over 2,000m, I think it was the Chilean Derby.
“From the first time I sat on him, I knew he was a mile or 2,000m horse, but he still ran super first-up over 1,200m here.
“There is still improvement left in him. It’s onwards and upwards.”
Saturday’s meeting was marked by Simon Kok’s first career four-timer and apprentice jockey Faiz Khair’s first win at his 77th ride.
Kok scored on Wawasan ($21), Coin Toss ($19), Heng Xing ($24) and First Chief ($16), while Faiz won on Maximilian ($51).
