The Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) has now been spilling from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi. When the spread of the lumpy disease crippled a substantial part of Uttar Pradesh, cattle in the national capital and Western Uttar Pradesh largely remained unaffected for a long time.
Delhi’s State Minister for Environment, Forest and Wildlife, Gopal Rai, said on Saturday that the capital had identified 173 lumpy skin disease cases, mainly in South and West Delhi.
“All states surrounding Delhi, Rajasthan, UP, Himachal, Pradesh, Uttarakhand, are affected by LSD. In Delhi, LSD cases have been found in Goyla Dairy area where 45 cows have been infected, Rewla Khanpur area has seen 40, Ghumman Hera area saw 21 infected cows, Nazafgarh has 16 infected cattle,” said Gopal Rai.
“Doctors and veterinarians have advised isolation of the animals affected in homes or even in Gaushalas. We have also ordered two mobile veterinary clinics to be placed in focused areas,” Gopal Rai added.
Eleven rapid response teams have been made to check for samples. A special isolation ward is being created in Rewla Khanpur for people who cannot isolate their animals on home premises.

Four teams were created for awareness campaigns and a hotline number - 8287848586 - for those who require help with LSD-infected cattle. People can also report stray cattle that are found on roads.
“We have already asked for 60,000 goat pox vaccine doses as the new LSD vaccine is not available in large quantities,” said Dr Rakesh Singh, Director, Animal husbandry in the Delhi government.
There are 80,000 cattle in Delhi, according to estimates from the Delhi government’s animal husbandry department. There will not be much impact on milk availability in Delhi as mostly buffalo milk, or pasteurised milk, is preferred and consumed,” added Rakesh Singh.
IMMUNITY BELT IN WESTERN UP
Western Uttar Pradesh has reported at least 21,619 cases of lumpy disease and 199 cattle deaths. The highest cases are being reported from Muzzaffarnagar, Saharanpur and Aligarh. Other districts such as Mathura, Bulandshahr, Meerut, Shamli, Muzzaffarnagar, Baghpat, Meerut, Shamli, Bijnor and Hapur have reported cattle infected with LSD.
The state animal husbandry department is preparing to create a 300 km immunity belt stretching from Etawah to Pilibhit to manage the spread of the disease. The immune belt model is based on a concept used in Malaysia.
The “immunity belt” will pass through 23 blocks of five districts and will be 10 km wide.
The 23 blocks identified for the “immunity belt” are Bisalpur, Barkheda, Lalorikheda, Marauri, and Amaria in Pilibhit district; Khudaganj, Nigohi, Sidhauli, Bhawal Kheda, Kant, Jalalabad, and Mirzapur in Shahjahanpur district; Kaimganj, Shamsabad and Rajepur in Farrukhabad district; Kurawali, Sultanganj, and Ghirour in Mainpuri district; and Badhpura, Jaswantnagar, Saifai, Basrehar, and Takha in Etawah district.
Special vigilance has been ordered in nine out of the 18 divisions of the state.

If you’re looking for an iPhone 14 Pro Max, delivery estimates have slipped into November.
After initial pre-orders sold out yesterday, delivery estimates were showing for dates in mid to late October for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
As of writing, iPhone 14 Pro Max delivery estimates are showing October 25 to November 1 in Canada. This is only for all colours and storage sizes of the larger iPhone 14 Pro Max, according to our checks on Apple’s website. This suggests heavy demand for the larger iPhone.
The 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro in various configurations is showing delivery of October 18-25.
When Apple launches iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro on Friday, September 16, 2022, you may have to try your luck walking into an Apple Store to see if stock is available, or check the online reserve and pick up page for daily stock.
This morning, some of the first iPhone 14 Pro Max pre-orders reached the ‘preparing to ship’ phase, ahead of deliveries slated for next week.

There is no generational change for SMS or MMS. That is, for the Short Message Service or the Multimedia Messaging Service. That is, for classic mobile text and multimedia messages. There isn’t, because while Google has long since decided to follow the initiative of the GSM Association, the largest organization of mobile operators, apple has not the slightest interest in doing the same.
Thus, the interoperability between Android and iOS in this regard shows no sign of improving. We have had a clear example of this a few days ago, with the attendance of Tim Book at the 2022 Code Conference. There a journalist asked him what Apple was doing to improve the compatibility of communications between iphone and Android users, to which the CEO of Apple replied: «I don’t hear our users asking us to put a lot of energy into that«.
The journalist questioned him, assuring that he could not send some videos to his Mother, because she uses Android. To which the boss of the block replied, once again with arrogance, but also with some humor, it is to be expected: «Buy your mother an iPhone«. As if everyone could buy an iPhone for their mother or, for that matter, themselves. If there were only Apple smartphones, nothing indicates that mobile technology would have been democratized as it has been with Android.
However, Cook is partly right: Most iPhone users aren’t interested in RCS. And, without RCS, there is no tutor.
RCS (Rich Communication Services or enriched communication services) is, de facto, the standard called to replace SMS/MMS, an initiative of the GSM Association that Google adopted in Android a long time ago, but from which Apple has passed completely and, due to the position shown by Cook, it does not seem that anything is going to change in the short term. Unless, of course, some regulator forces them to do so, which doesn’t seem like it either.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
The problem, however, is different in the United States and in the rest of the world. In the North American country, Apple is a well-rooted institution and your own solution, iMessageis so widespread, especially among the youngest, that when the company considered bringing the application to Android, they quickly dismissed the idea as counterproductive: «iMessage on Android would simply serve to eliminate [un] Obstacle for iPhone families to give Android phones to their children.
In the rest of the world, on the contrary, people usually communicate using independent services and applications, such as WhatsApp, Telegram and many others depending on the territory. Thus, it does not seem that anyone has bothered to find a substitute for SMS/MMS, although there needs to be to ensure minimal interoperability based on standards, and not exclusively private applications and services. The background is, in fact, the thousand and one applications and messaging services that exist, all incompatible with each other.
To get an idea of what we mean: it is as if the large email service providers abandoned current technology to bet each one on their own solution, as they did with instant messaging and videoconferencing: not everyone uses or has to use WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.; it is necessary to have a generational handover that is a standard and that anyone can use without locking themselves into something controlled by a single company, and the only one there is is RCS.
That’s the way things are. With Google calling Apple’s attention for its refusal to adopt RCS, and without -for now- anyone forcing it to do so. And although seen how the world is distributed, it doesn’t seem like a priority…
In the meantime, Google maintains its commitment to RCS and one of the most notable advances in this regard was the implementation of end-to-end encryption in the Android Messages application. Be careful, yes, because it still supports SMS/MMS, so it will depend on who you send a message to to use one method or the other.

Gary Lineker believes it is a "real shame" that football chose to postpone fixtures this weekend after applauding the respects paid by the England cricket team.
Wolverhampton Wanderers were scheduled to face Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday afternoon (3pm kick-off) but the fixture was postponed, along with the nine other Premier League games pencilled in to take place, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away aged 96 on Thursday.
A statement from the Premier League reads: "At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening’s game."

Lineker took to Twitter after watching scenes before the start of play in the Test match between England and South Africa at The Oval. The Match of the Day presenter posted: "Given the wonderful and moving scenes at The Oval, it feels a real shame that football is not taking place this weekend, therefore missing the opportunity to pay its respects."
Piers Morgan was also vocal in his support for games to go ahead in order to honour the Queen. He said: "Sporting events should go ahead. a) The Queen loved sport, and b) It would be great to see/hear huge crowds singing the National Anthem in tribute to Her Majesty, as West Ham fans did so magnificently (on Thursday) night."

(NEXSTAR) — The National 9/11 Museum & Memorial has a special place for “sky blue.”
In recent years, the 9/11 Museum & Memorial has encouraged buildings across New York City to light up their rooftops or facades in remembrance of those who were killed during the attacks on September 11. Specifically, the city’s iconic buildings will be illuminated in a striking sky blue — a color that holds special significance for the organization, and the city as a whole.
Sky blue, or “Memorial Blue” as the color is also referred to, symbolizes the city’s (and the world’s) general perception of the sky in the morning just prior to the attacks. In fact, the cloudless skies above NYC on 9/11 had been described as what pilots and meteorologists call “severe clear,” meaning visibility conditions were seemingly infinite, according to the National 9/11 Museum & Memorial.
This year, dozens of iconic buildings, landmarks and institutions will again be partaking in the “Tributes in Light” event, itself an extension of the longstanding (and perhaps more recognizable) “Tribute in Light” art installation in Lower Manhattan, which form two columns of white light shining up the heavens.
Sky blue, too, is also a prominent feature of one of the museum’s most visually arresting installations, titled “Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning.” Found inside museum’s Memorial Hall, the piece is comprised of 2,983 watercolor squares — representing each of the lives lost on Sept. 11 and the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center — showcasing different hues of blue to symbolize our memories of the sky on the morning of September 11, 2001.
“Our own perception of the color blue might not be the same as that of another person,” the museum explains of the different hues in the piece, created by artist Spencer Finch. “However, just like our perception of color, our memories share a common point of reference.”
The Museum is also encouraging folks to “Remember the Sky” by sharing photos of the sky to social media on Sept. 11, to help ensure that younger generations never forget the significance of the date.
“Through creating a shared moment of active remembrance together, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum aims to help spur conversation on social media platforms and elsewhere that can serve as a bridge between memory and history for the tens of millions of young people who did not live through that day that changed our world forever,” the museum has written of the campaign.
Those wishing to learn more about the commemorations taking place on 9/11 can visit 911memorial.org for additional information.

Army base near LAC in Arunachal named after late CDS Gen Bipin Rawat
The Kibithu military camp, which looks out over Chinese deployments in the Rima-Tatu area across the LAC, was renamed General Bipin Rawat Military Garrison, as was the 22-km road stretch linking this base to Walong where outnumbered Indian soldiers halted the Chinese war machine in 1962.
KIBITHU (ARUNACHAL PRADESH): An army base along the China border in Arunachal Pradesh and a key road that supports military movement near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) was on Saturday named after India’s first chief of defence staff, the late General Bipin Rawat, in recognition of his service and his old connection with the northeastern state.
The Kibithu military camp, which looks out over Chinese deployments in the Rima-Tatu area across the LAC, was renamed General Bipin Rawat Military Garrison, as was the 22-km road stretch linking this base to Walong where outnumbered and outgunned Indian soldiers halted the Chinese war machine during the 1962 War.
Those who attended the renaming ceremony included Arunachal Pradesh governor Brigadier BD Mishra (retd), chief minister Pema Khandu, military adviser to the National Security Council Secretariat Lieutenant General Anil Chauhan, Eastern Army commander Lieutenant General Rana Pratap Kalita, 3 Corps commander Lieutenant General RC Tiwari, and Rawat’s younger daughter, Tarini.
Khandu pledged ₹10 crore for a facelift of the garrison, and transform it into "one of the best forward army bases in the country".
As a colonel, Rawat commanded his battalion - 5/11 Gorkha Rifles - at Kibithu in 1999-2000. He was known to fondly recall his tenure as the commanding officer in Kibithu, his other postings in the northeast, and believed that the region and its people held tremendous potential - Mishra and Khandu spoke at length about the special place the northeast held in the general’s heart.
In his address, the governor even recalled how the late CDS stepped in to help the state two years ago when it was struggling to repay dues amounting to over ₹320 crore to the Indian Air Force for the use of its assets.
Hundreds of locals from Kibithu and Walong turned up the ceremony and broke into a spontaneous applause when the dignitaries recalled Rawat’s contribution to the northeast.
“General Rawat’s contribution towards strengthening the security of the North-east is noteworthy. His vision and foresight were instrumental in implementing several infrastructure projects and social development in the area,” said a senior official.
It was in this sector that an Indian infantry brigade was pitched against five infantry and two artillery brigades of the Chinese in the 1962 war. An inscription at the Walong war memorial reads, “Own troops caused crippling losses on the invading Chinese. Mule trains carrying Chinese casualties stretched between Namti and Kraoti.”
The General Rawat army base is not too far from the stunning Namti plains that the Chinese called ‘Tiger’s Mouth’ because of the heavy losses they suffered there 60 years ago in the Battle of Walong - considered to be one of the few glorious chapters for India in the 1962 war.
An imposing gate built in local traditional style at the entrance of the garrison bears Rawat's name.
Rawat, his wife Madhulika, and 12 others were killed in a helicopter crash in December 2021 in Tamil Nadu.
On the eve of Rawat’s birthday in March 2022, the army dedicated a chair of excellence in his memory at the United Service Institution of India (USI) -- the country’s oldest think tank founded in 1870.
The aim of the Chair is to conduct research on strategic issues, and this year’s topic is Jointness and Integration in the Context of Land Warfare in India.
At the time of his death, Rawat was spearheading the military’s theaterisation drive to enhance the effectiveness of the armed forces and reshape the conduct of future operations. Rawat took over as CDS on December 31, 2019, after serving as army chief for a full three-year term. He held the four-star rank for almost five years, making him the longest serving four-star general in India.
The government is yet to appoint his successor. His demise was seen as a setback to the ongoing military reforms.
Rawat was posthumously awarded Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian honour, in March 2022.

U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration is weighing the need for further releases of crude oil from the nation’s emergency stockpiles after the current program ends in October, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told Reuters on Thursday.
A Department Of Energy official later said the White House was not considering new releases from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at this time beyond the 180 million barrels that the president announced months ago.
The Biden administration this year has delivered about 1 million barrels of oil per day from SPR stockpiles to lower fuel prices and pare energy inflation ahead of the midterm elections in November.
The releases so far this year have helped knock average U.S. retail gasoline prices down to $3.75 a gallon this week from $5 a gallon in June. But they also have cut U.S. emergency stocks to below 450 million barrels, lowest since 1984.
[This is clearly a temporary fix as Democrats in power destroy our fossil fuel industry. It looks good for the election. Notice that he only approved the releases through October.]
On Monday, OPEC and its allies, led by Russia, agreed to a small oil production cut to raise prices. The US solution isn’t to drill or frack; it’s to use our emergency stockpiles.
Biden has put us at the mercy of our enemies instead of drilling our own.
It is “a little early to say that there is going to be more SPR releases,” said Abhiram Rajendran, head of global oil at Energy Intelligence. “But if OPEC starts getting aggressive on cutting supply, that’s a possibility.”
The nation’s crude stocks have been declining since mid-2020 due to sales from congressional mandates and Biden’s price initiative, says Reuters.
[That’s not exactly true. It’s a problem since Biden and Democrats canceled leases on public lands, eliminated new pipelines, discouraged investors in fossil fuels, regulated oil and gas into oblivion, and continue to do so.]
Granholm also said during a visit to Houston on Thursday that the administration and allies are still discussing a cap on prices for Russian oil purchases. A price cap would restrict revenues available to Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine.
[And Russia won’t allow any gas or oil to Europe. Great idea geniuses. Their stockpiles won’t last.]

It seems only proper to extend Scotland’s most socially elevated crime writer the courtesy of his new moniker. (After once writing a biography of a Catholic cardinal and years of addressing clerics as “my lord”, “your grace” and “your eminence”, “sir” is but a linguistic speed bump.) Yet one can tell “Sir Ian” is both proud and perhaps a little defensive of his new nomenclature.

London art gallery to host book of condolence in tribute to the Queen
The Guildhall art gallery is set to open a book of condolence to allow the public to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II.
The London venue will house the book in honour of the long-reigning monarch, who died at Balmoral castle on Thursday.
It comes after King Charles III was formally declared the nation’s new monarch on Saturday morning during a meeting of the Accession Council.

The book will be placed on the upper level of Guildhall art gallery on Sunday, open to the public to sign from 10.30am, with people encouraged to pay their respects.
It is not the first time the gallery has become an outlet for grief, having opened a book of condolence following the London Bridge terror attack in 2017.
Guildhall Art Gallery and London’s Roman Amphitheatre were both closed on Friday to honour the Queen’s passing.
Books of condolence for the Queen were also being opened in churches, theatres and local authorities across the country as well as on the royal website.
The royal family added its “Book of Condolence” to the official website, allowing people from all over the world to send messages of support.
A book of condolence was opened at Cardiff City Hall on Friday, with people encouraged to leave floral tributes outside the building.
One of the messages left with the flowers read: “Thank you for a lifetime of dedication. You will always be in our hearts.”
Another said: “Lilies for our beautiful Queen Lilibet. We will mourn you forever.”
Inside City Hall, Cardiff’s Lord Mayor, councillor Graham Hinchey, said: “Queen Elizabeth II dedicated her entire life to the service of this country, and has been a reassuring and steadfast presence at times of war, social and political unrest, and throughout the recent pandemic.

“Before becoming Queen in 1952 she was awarded a freeman of the city of Cardiff in 1948.
“And this city has been honoured to welcome her on many occasions during her reign, most recently to the official opening of the Senedd in October last year.
“It is with great sadness that the capital city of Wales will now join the rest of the nation in mourning the ending of a remarkable life and reign.”
Books of condolence have also been opened at locations across Northern Ireland and Glasgow Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren, in her role as Lord Lieutenant, was the first signatory in a book of condolence at City Chambers in Glasgow.
President Joe Biden also signed a condolence book at the British Embassy in Washington on Thursday after news of the death.

Why Is The Rivian SUV So Much More Expensive Than Its Competitors?
The Rivian R1S is a high-tech full-size SUV, with its manufacturer claiming it's the "world's first Electric Adventure Vehicle."
According to Rivian's website, the R1S is the brand's go anywhere, do anything SUV for people who want more interior cargo space than the R1T truck. It's available with a quad-motor system that delivers 835 horsepower to all four wheels. Pair that with an estimated range of more than 300 miles on a charge, and the Rivian R1S is a pretty serious EV.
That capability comes with a price. A base dual-motor R1S with a standard 260-mile range battery starts at an eye-watering $78,000. The uber-fast quad-motor variant with the upgraded battery comes in at $92,000. That's a serious chunk of change.
Expensive electric SUVs with supercar-like specs are nothing new. The Tesla Model X starts over the six-figure mark and tops out at over $130,000 for the tri-motor Plaid edition. The crab-walking Hummer EV is about as close anyone can get to buying an electric tank and it starts over $84,000. Even the more sedate F-150 Lightning rings in at over $96,000 for the Platinum trim, and it can power your house in the event of a power outage.
When it comes to electric SUVs, the Rivian R1S is certainly on the higher end of the price spectrum.
More motors equal more money
Compared to the more economically focused $30,000 Equinox EV that Chevy announced earlier this week, the Rivian R1S might as well be priced like a Lamborghini. The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach E starts at 46,895. That's still several thousand less than the base model Rivian.
In March of this year, Rivian faced immense backlash over price hikes for people already preordered its vehicles. When customers started canceling preorders, Rivian eventually relented and rolled back the price hikes for people who already ordered. New customers, however, were out of luck.
Jiten Behl, the brand's Chief Growth Officer said: "Like most manufacturers, Rivian is being confronted with inflationary pressure, increasing component costs, and unprecedented supply chain shortages and delays for parts (including semiconductor chips." Those factors can certainly increase the cost of a vehicle, even at the expense of customer loyalty.
When it comes to on-paper specs, the Rivian R1S's high price tag makes some sense, especially when it's kitted out to have four motors. But compared to other EVs from more established brands, the Rivian might be a hard sell.

Featured Game | Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers
Why the Bears can cover
The Bears have high hopes for Fields, who flashed glimpses of having high-level NFL starter ability as a rookie in 2021. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney emerged as the Bears top target a year ago, and has Pro Bowl potential on the outside.
Roquan Smith ended his holdout and returned to the team in time for the regular season. The two-time All-Pro is one of the best linebackers in the league, and his presence instantly elevates the Chicago defense. Defensive end Robert Quinn is coming off a stellar 2021 campaign where he tallied 18.5 sacks.
Why the 49ers can cover
The Niners are among the top early season Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. Kyle Shanahan has proven to be one of the best head coaches and game managers in the league. Lance may be inexperienced, but Shanahan will likely keep him out of as many unfavorable situations as possible.
Deebo Samuel remains one of the most explosive Offensive Playmakers in the league, and George Kittle, who is listed as questionable (groin), is an All-Pro caliber tight end. Defensively, the Niners are outstanding up front, with Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and Fred Warner all elite at their respective positions.

Not to make this all about me, but the Queen picked an extremely inopportune week to die on, from a Liverpool Women’s perspective. After two years and an interminable summer, the Reds were finally set to make their big return to the WSL this weekend.
The game against Reading FC Women would surely have announced the return of Netherlands star Shanice van der Sanden to the Liverpool front line alongside the likes of Katie Stengel and Leanne Kiernan.
After a highly successful season in the WSL2, when they sauntered into first place with nary a hiccough, Reds fans across the globe have been desperate to see how that dominance will translate into the top flight. The preseason friendlies were successful, but many were against lower tier teams who Liverpool have proved more than capable of dominating.
Like Sisyphus doomed to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity, when we had finally reached the peak, down it went again. It’s unknown yet when that match will be made up. Next weekend’s home opener against Chelsea may also be in limbo due to the Queen’s funeral. If that’s the case, then Liverpool aren’t scheduled to play again until October 1st.
So we wait.

Police arrest landlord accused of running over tenant, killing him
PAHRUMP, Nev. (Gray News/KVVU) - A man is charged with open murder after police said he allegedly ran over his tenant with his vehicle and dragged his body down the road.
The Nye County Sheriff’s Office reported that 70-year-old William Stanley was arrested in the death of 66-year-old Frank Brink after Brink’s body was found on the side of the road on Sept. 6.
Deputies who responded to the report of a body found said there was evidence the body had been dragged to the location where it was discovered, according to Captain Davide Boruchowitz with the Nye County Sheriff’s Office.
Boruchowitz said deputies then followed a trail of blood and clothing to an address nearby where it appeared the dragging had begun.
The sheriff’s office identified the owner of the property as Stanley and said he was Brink’s landlord.
Upon further investigation, Boruchowitz reported deputies discovered the incident began with an argument between Stanley and Brink. A declaration of probable cause and detention obtained by KVVU reported Stanley admitted to running Brink over with his vehicle, killing him.
Stanley then reportedly used a rope to tie Brink’s leg to the back of the vehicle before dragging his body to the spot where it was later found, according to the declaration.
Boruchowitz said deputies found sufficient evidence during an executed search warrant to arrest Stanley.
Stanley was charged with open murder and was booked into the Nye County Detention Center without bail.

Marsha Hunt, ‘40s star and blacklist victim, dies at 104
TORONTO (AP) — Marsha Hunt, one of the last surviving actors from Hollywood’s so-called Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s who worked with performers ranging from Laurence Olivier to Andy Griffith in a career disrupted for a time by the McCarthy-era blacklist, has died. She was 104.
Hunt, who appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, died Wednesday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, said Roger Memos, the writer-director of the 2015 documentary “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity.”
A Chicago native, she arrived in Hollywood in 1935 and over the next 15 years appeared in dozens of films, from the Preston Sturges comedy “Easy Living” to the adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” that starred Olivier and Greer Garson.
She was well under 40 when MGM named her “Hollywood’s Youngest Character Actress.” And by the early 1950s, she was enough of a star to appear on the cover of Life magazine and seem set to thrive in the new medium of television when suddenly “the work dried up,” she recalled in 1996.
The reason, she learned from her agent, was that the communist-hunting Red Channels publication had revealed that she attended a peace conference in Stockholm and other supposedly suspicious gatherings. Alongside Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Danny Kaye, Hunt also went to Washington in 1947 to protest the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was conducting a witch hunt for communists in the film industry.
“I’d made 54 movies in my first 16 years in Hollywood,” Hunt said in 1996. “In the last 45 years, I’ve made eight. That shows what a blacklist can do to a career.”
Hunt concentrated on the theater, where the blacklist was not observed, until she began occasionally getting film work again in the late 1950s. She appeared in the touring companies of “The Cocktail Party,” “The Lady’s Not for Burning” and “The Tunnel of Love,” and on Broadway in “The Devil’s Disciple,” “Legend of Sarah″ and “The Paisley Convertible.”
Marcia Virginia Hunt (she changed the spelling of her first name later) was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City, daughter of a lawyer-insurance executive and a voice teacher. Slender and stylish, with a warm smile and large, expressive eyes, Hunt studied drama and worked as a model before making her film debut.
An early marriage to director Jerry Hopper ended in divorce. In 1948 she married film writer Robert Presnell Jr., and they had one daughter, who died soon after her premature birth. Her husband died in 1986.
Hunt’s first movie was 1935′s “The Virginia Judge.” She went on to play demure roles in a series of films for Paramount, including “The Accusing Finger” and “Come on Leathernecks,” but, as she told The Associated Press in 2020, she was tired of “sweet young things” and begged for more substantial work.
Hollywood proved a painful education. In “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity,” she remembered almost getting the part of Melanie Wilkes in “Gone with the Wind,” even being assured by producer David O. Selznick. Within days, Olivia de Havilland was announced as the actor who would play Melanie for the 1939 epic.
“That’s the day I grew up,” Hunt said in the documentary. “That’s the day I knew I could never have my heart broken again by this profession of acting.”
She left Paramount for MGM around the time of “Gone with the Wind” and had lead or supporting roles in “These Glamour Girls,” “Flight Command” and “The Human Comedy” among other movies.
“MGM was sheer magic,” she recalled in a 2007 Associated Press interview. “When I arrived at the studio for a one-day role, they parked my car. I went on the set and found a director’s chair with a sign on it, ‘Miss Hunt.’ Another sign was on my dressing room.
“I said to myself, ‘Any studio that treats a one-day player that way, really knows how to make pictures.’ They won my loyalty.”
Work unraveled quickly after she openly embraced liberal causes, such as joining the 1947 protest against congressional hearings on the reputed communist influence in Hollywood.
“I was never a communist or even interested in the communist cause,” she declared in 1996. “I was a political innocent defending my industry.”
With a couple of exceptions, such as producer Stanley Kramer’s 1952 family comedy “The Happy Time,” she was unseen on the big screen for most of the 1950s. She later appeared in many TV series, including “My Three Sons,” “Matlock,” “All in the Family” and “Murder, She Wrote.”
She remained vigorous and elegant in old age. In 1993, she put out “The Way We Wore: Styles of the 1930s and ‘40s and Our World Since Then,” a lavishly illustrated book of the fashions during her Hollywood heyday.
A lifelong political activist, Hunt had a brush with terror in 1962 when she took part in a forum on right-wing extremists and two other participants’ homes were damaged by homemade bombs the very same evening.
“The ashen-faced actress said her home probably escaped the bomb attack only because the terrorists were unable to find out where she lived,” the Los Angeles Times reported. Police were sent to guard her home.
More recently, she helped create a refuge for the homeless in Los Angeles’ Sherman Oaks neighborhood, where she lived and was feted with the title honorary mayor.
Looking back on her activist years, Hunt remarked in 1996: “I never craved an identity as a figure of controversy. But having weathered it and found other interests in the meantime, I can look back with some philosophy.”

Is there any way of ascertaining that ALL (or at least, the vast majority) of our teachers in Zimbabwe would have made this resolution, and were on board?
Or, possibly, this would only be a certain section of our educators, who aligned themselves with the ruling ZANU PF party – possibly, even with an identifiable name, such as, ‘Teachers For ED’.
So, would it not be exceedingly disingenuousness and deceptive if I were to make a blanket statement to the effect that ‘teachers had resolved to support and campaign for Mnangagwa’?
The more accurate and truthful statement should be – “a small group of ZANU PF-aligned teachers, calling themselves ‘Teachers For ED’ have resolved to support and campaign for Mnangagwa”.
Yet, this sort of deliberate deceit, misleading, and outright lies have tragically become the norm in our country.
Surely, what does ZANU PF and their accomplices mean when what they make such wild declarations as, ‘War veterans declare war on Chamisa’, or ‘War vets support Mnangagwa’!
Exactly who are these ‘war veterans’ being referred to here?
Who today can honestly lay claim to being the voice of ALL veterans of our country’s 1960s and 70s protracted liberation struggle?
For one, I am in constant touch with several of our intrepid Sons and Daughters of the Soil – and, I can boldly assert that they definitely do not support Mnangagwa and ZANU PF, although they may also not necessarily back the main opposition CCC (led by Nelson Chamisa) – as much as they have never ‘declared war against him’.
In fact, the person who awarded me the opportunity that profoundly changed my life in 1991 (whilst still doing the Lower Sixth form at Kwekwe High School) – to write my own social justice and political analysis newspaper column, although I had already been penning news stories since 1989 – was a local war veterans leader, Dominic Mazango, who owned a publication in the city.
Of course, initially I had absolutely no idea that he was a former combatant of the liberation struggle – due this acceptance and endorsement of my bold criticism of the ZANU PF regime’s grand-scale corruption, and its barbaric attacks on dissenting voices of the time.
Nonetheless, I was soon pleasantly surprised to learn of this fact – which made me admire and respect him for continuing to unflinchingly stand up for the values of the fight for independence – that were founded on tenets of democracy and human rights, and the equitable sharing of our national resources, with all the country’s citizens regarded as equal.
He was quite aware, even back then in the 1980s and 90s, that the political party which had brought liberation from colonial rule, had wantonly betrayed the same struggle, and the thousands of lives lost – as the ruling elite had, in typical ‘Animal Farm style’, morphed into the new oppressor.
Needless to say, his beliefs were not isolated – as, ever since that time in 1991 till today, I have been so privileged and honored to have established strong linkages and close friendships with many veterans of our liberation struggle (some of whom were commanders, and proceeded to senior positions in the government, military and war veterans’ movements).
These are men and women I hold in such high esteem – even though, we may not necessarily agree on everything – on account of their principled and unwavering stance in jealously guarding and safeguarding the true values of the struggle.
They are staunchly opposed to the manner in which the ZANU PF government (both under late ousted President Robert Gabriel Mugabe and the current Mnangagwa) has heartlessly ruined the lives and livelihoods of millions of fellow countrymen and women, largely through rampant pillaging and plundering of our national resources, as well as incomprehensible economic incompetence and mismanagement.
Similarly, they harbor an intense disdain towards the trampling of the citizenry’s human rights and shrinking of democratic space – with ZANU PF virtually turning Zimbabwe into a one-party state, and declaring itself the only legitimate party entitled to govern the country – and, any strong opposition to its misrule met with unbridled ruthlessness and brutality.
There is no greater betrayal of the war of independence that this.
They may not necessarily support the main opposition CCC – but, they will always uncompromisingly stand up for, and the respect, the values of which the liberation war was fought – which includes, the freedom and right of the opposition party to exist and freely function, according to globally accepted democratic tenets.
Therefore, when I read screaming news headlines as, ‘War veterans declare war on Chamisa’ or ‘War veterans support Mnangagwa’, I was extremely perplexed.
Who exactly are these ‘war veterans’ that are being quoted?
I am certainly not denying that there are genuine former combatants of our war of independence who have resolved to undertake such a mission
However, what I have a problem with is the attempt at packaging ALL war veterans under the same banner.
There could be nothing more misleading and deceptive that such misinformation and disinformation.
In fact, I detest and find truly repulsive such efforts at tarnishing the image and good name of these valiant men and women who sacrificed everything for all of us to enjoy real freedom and prosperity in our own country – yet, a dream that has been callously crushed and destroyed by the ZANU PF regime.
These are people who have largely been thrown under the bus by the ZANU PF regime – and, enduring the same poverty and suffering as millions other Zimbabweans – possibly, existing under far worse conditions than those they fought against under colonial rule.
Not all war veterans have sold their souls to the devil – as there are still numerous out there who still remember what they went to battle for!
They never placed their lives on the line for only one political party, neither did they fight for a few in the ruling elite to enjoy the fruits of our independence – or, for the barbaric and heinous persecution of those who speak up and stand up against these counter-revolutionaries in power.
Here is a lesson for us all – today’s new generation of revolutionaries should never be fighting in the corner of any particular political party or leader – but, for the entirety of the people of Zimbabwe.
Otherwise, we will just be breeding and grooming future veterans of the struggle, who will be partisan accomplices in the oppression of those who will speak up and stand up against any new governing party.

Mr Omane Aboagye, the Juaben Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), has handed over 200 pieces of furniture to the Juaben Municipal Education Directorate in the Ashanti Region to enhance teaching and learning.
The dual-desks will be distributed to eight selected schools; New Bomfa Methodist Basic, Juaben R/C Primary, African Faith Primary School, Dumakwai M/A Primary, Achiase M/A Primary, Achiase Methodist Primary, Nobewam M/A Primary and Adumasa M/A Primary School.
At a short handing-over ceremony at the Juaben Senior High School, Mr Aboagye said the donation formed part of the Government’s vision to provide a conducive environment for teaching and learning.
He assured the Directorate that the Assembly was taking steps to provide more desks in due course to solve the furniture deficit among schools in the Municipality.
Those interventions had been prioritised by the Government to make education accessible and affordable, he said, and that the introduction of the Free Senior High School Policy was a testimony of eliminating financial barriers to education.
Mr Adu Kumi, the Municipal Director of Education, who received the furniture, expressed gratitude to the Government for the support and assured the MCE of regular maintenance to preserve it.

Two of the leading contenders for the Gerry Fegan Cup go head-to-head at the Athletic Grounds this evening as Maghery take on Armagh Harps.
Both teams are recent winners of the Armagh Senior Football Championship with the Harps shedding their tags as ‘bridesmaids’ in 2017 by beating Maghery 2-9 to 0-11 in the county final.
The Armagh City side lost the 2009 decider to local rivals Pearse Óg before suffering back-to-back defeats to Crossmaglen in 2014 and 2015.
Maghery won their first SFC crown in 2016 and were denied by the Harps a year later, but regained the Championship title in 2020 with a thrilling 4-9 to 0-17 win over Cross.
There’s a sense that any one of five or six teams could claim the title in 2022 with Crossmaglen and defending champions Clann Éireann in action tomorrow against Silverbridge and Mullaghbawn respectively.
Yet, one of the big guns will bow out tonight as Sean McDermott's clash with the Division 1A League champions after suffering relegation from the top flight last month.
Maghery played the majority of the season without their county players Aidan Forker, Ben Crealey, Ciaran Higgins and Brendan Haveron and they’ll be a different prospect in the Championship.
The Harps, who are captained by Armagh’s 2009 All-Ireland minor winning skipper Declan McCoy, will be hoping to maintain their fine form from the League campaign.
We’ll have live score-by-score updates from the Athletic Grounds from 7pm.

For the Harps, Cathal Agnew starts in place of Conn Stevenson at corner-back while Lorcan Oliver is in for Caolan McQuiad at left half-forward.
Teams
Maghery manager Gabhan Wylie hasn't named Armagh midfielder Ben Crealey in his starting 15, although there could be one or two changes before throw-in.
Armagh Harps clinched the Division One league title earlier this month and are managed by Brian O'Kane.
The 2022 Armagh SFC so far
The opening round of the 2022 Armagh SFC saw Madden defeat the Grange 2-12 to 3-5 in the preliminary round at the Athletic Grounds.
Despite the final score, Madden were much the better side throughout with Armagh star Ethan Rafferty plundering a hat-trick of goals in the second half.
The Raparees progressed to the first round and a meeting with Killeavy in Crossmaglen earlier today.
However, the South Armagh men, who finished second to the Harps in Division 1A, ran out 2-12 to 0-14 winners to seal their place in the last eight.
Last night, Granemore booked their place in the quarter-final with a 1-10 to 0-10 win over Pearse Óg in Abbey Park with Ryan Rafferty scoring what proved to be the vital goal.
At the Athletic Grounds earlier this afternoon, Ballymacnab defeated Cullyhana 1-14 to 0-13.
Gavin McParland scored the game’s only goal in the first half while Jack Grugan hit four stunning points from play for Barry Dillon’s side.

The reaction was priceless.
Faced with the prospect of tasting a dog biscuit during the Kansas FFA convention recently, one young lady wrinkled her nose, relaxed and gave it a try.
It tasted better than she expected, she said.
She was one of several Kansas FFA members who flooded the Kansas State University campus for the annual gathering, attending many workshops taught by faculty in Kansas State University’s College of Agriculture.
Greg Aldrich, an associate professor in grain science and coordinator of the pet food program, led the students through a session titled, EPAW – Every Pet A Wildcat.
Kansas State University’s pet food lab includes industrial stand mixers, ovens and a moulding machine that makes dog biscuits with a “KSU” imprint. Aldrich told the FFA members that the university’s pet food program focuses on research and the science behind the ingredients they use.
People are also reading…
Aldrich also likes experimenting with different flavored biscuits, “and they’re all safe for humans to taste,” he said.
Aldrich and the students mixed dough for cheddar- and regular-flavored biscuits, and poured it into the moulding machine. While the biscuits baked, Aldrich talked to the students about the science that’s involved with the ingredients they just combined.
In that case, he said, the binding agent was gluten from wheat, but Aldrich has also tried using sorghum, gelatin and egg whites.
When the biscuits came out of the oven, the students were allowed to taste their creations; a variety of reactions ensued. One hesitant FFA member described the experience as “similar to eating a thick wheat cracker. Really dry, but good.”
Most students only took a small bite, but one young man had no such reservations, eating almost three whole biscuits. Asked why, he said: “I wanted to try both flavors, and they were really good.”
Aldrich said hands-on opportunities for students to use all of their senses are important to their education and development.
“It makes it real,” he said. “So much of what we do in learning is intangibles or abstractions, -- words on a page -- so when we can bring students into a manufacturing environment and give them (a chance to) touch, taste, smell, it reinforces what they’ve learned in their books…. They’ll never forget it.”

Ranchi/New Delhi: The Election Commission has sent its opinion to Jharkhand Governor Ramesh Bais on the disqualification of JMM’s Dumka legislator Basant Soren, brother of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, from the Assembly in an office of profit case, an EC official said.
The EC’s opinion came at a time when the chief minister himself is facing the threat of disqualification as an MLA for the same reason.
“The opinion on Basant Soren has been sent to the Jharkhand Governor on Friday. The contents of the communication are not known,” the EC official told PTI in New Delhi.
A source in Raj Bhavan here also confirmed on Saturday that the Governor is in receipt of a recommendation concerning Basant Soren.
Hemant Soren allegedly procured stone mining leases in his name while being the chief minister and holding the mines portfolio. His brother, on the other hand, is accused of having suppressed information about his association with a mining company in which he is a director.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the complainant in both cases, has sought disqualification of the Soren brothers from the Assembly under provisions of the Representation of the People Act.
Amid suspense over the CM’s continuance as an MLA, Bais went to Delhi on September 2 and returned to Ranchi on September 8.
The governor went to Delhi a day after assuring the ruling UPA MLAs at a meeting that he will clear all doubts regarding the CM soon.
The political crisis in the state began late last month. Following a petition by the BJP seeking Soren’s disqualification from the assembly in an office of profit case, the Election Commission (EC) sent its decision to Governor Ramesh Bais on August 25.
Though the EC’s decision has not yet been made public, there is a buzz that the poll panel has recommended the chief minister’s disqualification as an MLA.
In a joint statement on August 28, UPA constituents had accused Bais of encouraging political horse-trading by “deliberately delaying” announcing the decision.
The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) took its MLAs to a resort in Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh on August 30 as JMM was afraid that the BJP may attempt to poach legislators from the party and also from the ally Congress in a bid to topple the government.
They returned to Ranchi on the evening of September four to attend a special session of the Assembly the next day, in which the Hemant Soren government won a confidence vote.

The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II is scheduled for Sept. 19, the Royal Family announced Saturday.
She died on Thursday in her Balmoral estate in Scotland at age 96. She served as queen since 1952. Her passing ended the longest-reining monarchy in British history.
The funeral service will take place at Westminster Abbey, a royal church in the center of London. President Biden and other world leaders are expected to attend. The U.K. has declared Sept. 19 a holiday in honor of the queen.
Prior to the service, Elizabeth will lie in state inside Westminster Hall for four days to allow the public to pay their respects.
In a statement on Twitter, Elizabeth's grandson, Prince William, wrote that it will take some time before the reality of life without his grandmother will sink in.
"While I will grieve her loss, I also feel incredibly grateful. I have had the benefit of The Queen's wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade," he wrote.
— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) September 10, 2022
William added that he looks forward to supporting his father's new title as King Charles III, which was officially announced earlier Saturday.

2022 KTM 390 Duke makes way to dealerships: Check features
Austrian automaker KTM's 2022 390 Duke bike has started arriving at dealerships across India. To recall, it was launched here earlier this month. As for the highlights, the bike has an aggressive design and offers many features, including a Bluetooth-enabled TFT instrument console. It draws power from a 373cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates a maximum power of 42.9hp.
- Barring the addition of new color options, the 2022 iteration of the KTM 390 Duke remains visually identical to the previous-generation model. There are no mechanical alterations either.
- Nonetheless, the two-wheeler's stylish looks should attract a lot of customers in India. The sporty-looking vehicle takes on rivals such as the BMW G 310 R on our shores.
The 2022 KTM 390 Duke has a praying mantis-like headlight cluster, a muscular fuel tank with extensions, split-style seats, an upswept exhaust, and arrowhead-shaped mirrors. The motorcycle packs an all-LED lighting setup, a Bluetooth-enabled TFT instrument console, and rides on alloy rims. It can store 13.4 liters of fuel and is available in Dark Galvano and Liquid Metal color options.
The 2022 KTM 390 Duke is fueled by a 373cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates a maximum power of 42.9hp and a peak torque of 37Nm. The mill is linked to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper and assist clutch along with a quick-shifter.
In terms of safety equipment, the new KTM 390 Duke is equipped with disc brakes on the front and rear wheels, along with cornering ABS for improved handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the motorbike are taken care of by WP inverted forks on the front side and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.
In India, the 2022 version of the KTM 390 Duke sports a price tag of Rs. 2.96 lakh (ex-showroom). The sporty-looking vehicle is now making its way to dealerships across the country.

Silvia Persico (Valcar-Travel & Service) won Stage 4 at the Madrid Challenge as Anna Kiesenhofer (Soltec Team) came within a whisker of a thrilling gun-to-tape victory. Annemiek van Vleuten finished comfortably among the front riders to lose no time from her overall race lead.
The longest stage of the race tracked a bumpy 160km route from Palencia, in northern Spain, to the historic central town of Segovia. Anna Kiesenhofer wasted no time in breaking free from the bunch, forming a one-woman breakaway within a kilometre of the official start being given. Such was her impressive pace, relative to that of the more sedate bunch, that the Austrian moved into the virtual red jersey ahead of Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar).
Ad
With almost 100km of the stage completed the gap over the peloton stood at 9’40”.
Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta
Brown times sprint to perfection to win Stage 3
The size of Kiesenhofer's advantage sparked memories of her victory in the Tokyo Olympics road race, when she rode unopposed to a shock victory as Van Vleuten crossed the line in second with her arms aloft – only to discover her rival had finished more than a minute earlier.
After Van Vleuten sent her Movistar team-mates into action to reduce the deficit, the chance of the overall lead changing hands reduced to almost zero. Attention soon turned to the stage win as Kiesenhofer, with only the words "Dare to be different" adorning her top tube for company, rode on across the dry Castile and León landscape.
Although the long, wide straight roads worked against her, Kiesenhofer's ability to maintain a steady power output through the pedals and tap out a consistent rhythm enabled her to resist the advances of the peloton. 35km to the finish she still had five minutes in hand. By the usual rule of thumb, that would have been enough to enable her to stay away.
The numerical advantage was not in her favour, however. As more teams sent riders to the front, the seconds began to fall away precipitously. Into the final 20km of the stage and Kiesenhofer had lost another 90 seconds from her lead.
A false flat slope saw more time taken off the gap before a 1200m stretch of gravel inside the last 10km of the stage brought the breakaway star's effort down to a grind. She crunched the pedals across the rough surface and made it back onto the tarmac with less than a minute left of her lead. A long, sweeping downhill swung the stage back in her favour, as it allowed her to reduce the distance to the finish faster than the peloton could close in on her.

Kiesenhofer looked she might hold on but faded badly on the run-in to Segovia. She did not have the strength left in her legs to survive the 3% ramps leading up to the city walls, and was caught at the flamme rouge as a group of favourites sailed by.
FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope charged past her. Inside the city, with 500m remaining Van Vleuten launched first for victory before Persico timed her sprint to perfection to take a convincing win on the cobbles. Demi Vollering (SD Worx) was a bike length behind in second place, with Elisa Longo-Borghini in third.

TORONTO — Marsha Hunt, one of the last surviving actors from Hollywood's so-called Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s who worked with performers ranging from Laurence Olivier to Andy Griffith in a career disrupted for a time by the McCarthy-era blacklist, has died. She was 104.
Hunt, who appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, died Wednesday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, said Roger Memos, the writer-director of the 2015 documentary "Marsha Hunt's Sweet Adversity."
A Chicago native, she arrived in Hollywood in 1935 and over the next 15 years appeared in dozens of films, from the Preston Sturges comedy "Easy Living" to the adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" that starred Olivier and Greer Garson.
She was well under 40 when MGM named her "Hollywood's Youngest Character Actress." And by the early 1950s, she was enough of a star to appear on the cover of Life magazine and seem set to thrive in the new medium of television when suddenly "the work dried up," she recalled in 1996.
Hunt protested the House Un-American Activities Committee
The reason, she learned from her agent, was that the communist-hunting Red Channels publication had revealed that she attended a peace conference in Stockholm and other supposedly suspicious gatherings. Alongside Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Danny Kaye, Hunt also went to Washington in 1947 to protest the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was conducting a witch hunt for communists in the film industry.
"I'd made 54 movies in my first 16 years in Hollywood," Hunt said in 1996. "In the last 45 years, I've made eight. That shows what a blacklist can do to a career."
Hunt concentrated on the theater, where the blacklist was not observed, until she began occasionally getting film work again in the late 1950s. She appeared in the touring companies of "The Cocktail Party," "The Lady's Not for Burning" and "The Tunnel of Love," and on Broadway in "The Devil's Disciple," "Legend of Sarah″ and "The Paisley Convertible."
Marcia Virginia Hunt (she changed the spelling of her first name later) was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City, daughter of a lawyer-insurance executive and a voice teacher. Slender and stylish, with a warm smile and large, expressive eyes, Hunt studied drama and worked as a model before making her film debut.
An early marriage to director Jerry Hopper ended in divorce. In 1948 she married film writer Robert Presnell Jr., and they had one daughter, who died soon after her premature birth. Her husband died in 1986.
Hunt's first movie was 1935′s "The Virginia Judge." She went on to play demure roles in a series of films for Paramount, including "The Accusing Finger" and "Come on Leathernecks," but, as she told The Associated Press in 2020, she was tired of "sweet young things" and begged for more substantial work.
She nearly landed a key role in 'Gone with the Wind'
Hollywood proved a painful education. In "Marsha Hunt's Sweet Adversity," she remembered almost getting the part of Melanie Wilkes in "Gone with the Wind," even being assured by producer David O. Selznick. Within days, Olivia de Havilland was announced as the actor who would play Melanie for the 1939 epic.
"That's the day I grew up," Hunt said in the documentary. "That's the day I knew I could never have my heart broken again by this profession of acting."
She left Paramount for MGM around the time of "Gone with the Wind" and had lead or supporting roles in "These Glamour Girls," "Flight Command" and "The Human Comedy" among other movies.
"MGM was sheer magic," she recalled in a 2007 Associated Press interview. "When I arrived at the studio for a one-day role, they parked my car. I went on the set and found a director's chair with a sign on it, 'Miss Hunt.' Another sign was on my dressing room.
"I said to myself, 'Any studio that treats a one-day player that way, really knows how to make pictures.' They won my loyalty."
Work unraveled quickly after she openly embraced liberal causes, such as joining the 1947 protest against congressional hearings on the reputed communist influence in Hollywood.
"I was never a communist or even interested in the communist cause," she declared in 1996. "I was a political innocent defending my industry."
With a couple of exceptions, such as producer Stanley Kramer's 1952 family comedy "The Happy Time," she was unseen on the big screen for most of the 1950s. She later appeared in many TV series, including "My Three Sons," "Matlock," "All in the Family" and "Murder, She Wrote."
She remained vigorous and elegant in old age. In 1993, she put out "The Way We Wore: Styles of the 1930s and '40s and Our World Since Then," a lavishly illustrated book of the fashions during her Hollywood heyday.
A lifelong political activist, Hunt had a brush with terror in 1962 when she took part in a forum on right-wing extremists and two other participants' homes were damaged by homemade bombs the very same evening.
"The ashen-faced actress said her home probably escaped the bomb attack only because the terrorists were unable to find out where she lived," the Los Angeles Times reported. Police were sent to guard her home.
More recently, she helped create a refuge for the homeless in Los Angeles' Sherman Oaks neighborhood, where she lived and was feted with the title honorary mayor.
Looking back on her activist years, Hunt remarked in 1996: "I never craved an identity as a figure of controversy. But having weathered it and found other interests in the meantime, I can look back with some philosophy."

People from all walks of life, including some traditional leaders from the Volta Region, Togo and Benin, have converged at the Ho Jubilee Park to climax this year’s Te Za (Yam Festival) of the Asogli State.
Also in attendance were religious leaders, business entities, and cultural troops, including the Ho ‘Zibo’ group, to join in the celebration, amidst rich cultural displays and traditional performances.
Some diplomats and political leaders, including Former President John Dramani Mahama, are expected to grace the occasion.
The Ghana News Agency observed an array of traditional regalia worn by the chiefs and people to showcase their rich culture.
Mr Bright Agyare, a native from Ho Bankoe, interacting with the GNA, expressed optimism that the festival would unite the people.
The Asogli Yam Festival is celebrated annually by the chiefs (Togbewo, Mamawo) and the people of Asogli State every September to thank God, the gods and ancestors for a bumper harvest, good health and prosperity.
It is marked on the theme: “Let’s Eschew Greed, Unite for Peace, Development and Prosperity,” to promote the development of the Asogli State and the Volta Region in general.
The festival commenced on August 6, with hiking on the Adaklu Mountain and clean-up exercise in all Asogli divisions.
This was preceded by the hailing of the new yam (Teyuyru) to welcome the arrival of the yam and purification rites, which were held at Akoefe Avenui.

On Friday, September 8, Kali Uchis unveils the video for her new track, “No Hay Ley,” directed by Torso Solutions, styled by Georgia Pendlebury and shot in Paris.
The music video features an immaculately styled Uchis singing the song throughout the streets of Paris. “I wrote this song about putting love above all else,” Uchis says. “‘En el amor no hay ley’ means ‘there are no laws to love.’ Be with who makes you happy, and don’t listen to what anyone else has to say about it because it wasn’t their business in the first place!” The new track, which Consequence says “immediately threatens to summon you to the dance floor,” continues a wildly successful few years for Uchis, whose Grammy-nominated 2020 album Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) spawned the runaway hit “telepatía.”
Uchis is a finalist at this year’s Billboard Latin Music Awards and recently won two Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award. Last year, Uchis took home her first Billboard Latin Music Award, Grammy Award, Premios Nuestra Tierra and Univision Premios Juventud in addition to performing at the Hispanic Heritage Awards on PBS. She also covered Office Magazine, performed on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and toured arenas across North America with Tyler, the Creator. Uchis has collaborated and shared stages with SZA, Gorillaz, Jorja Smith, Diplo, Major Lazer, Snoop Dogg, Kaytranada, Leon Bridges and more and has toured the world over, with much-lauded sets headlining Tropicalia and at Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza and many others.

How the feuding couples came together at Windsor: William was the 'leader' while Harry appeared 'anxious' as royals showed 'no signs of affection' during walkabout, body language expert claims
- William and Kate made first public appearance as Prince and Princess of Wales this evening in Windsor
- Joined outside the Castle by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, though the pairs barely interacted
- Appearance marked first time the 'fab four' have been seen together since 2000
- The couples appeared to maintain their distance from each other during event
Prince William looked like the 'leader and instigator' as he was joined by his wife Kate Middleton, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for a walkabout in Windsor today, a body language expert claimed, who says there were 'no signs of affection' during the meeting'.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, 40, took to Windsor to inspect the sea of floral tributes laid outside the gates of the Berkshire estate in tribute to the late Queen, who died in Balmoral on Thursday, aged 96.
During the engagement, they were joined by Prince Harry, 37, and Meghan Markle, 41, marking the first time that the two couples have all appeared in public since Commonwealth Day on March 9, 2020, just weeks before the Covid lockdown.
The royals, once dubbed the 'fab four', were greeted by applause as they walked along the gates of Windsor Castle together. However, all did not appear to be completely well among the feuding couples, who at times appeared uneasy in each other's company.
Body language expert Judi James told FEMAIL: 'This is a phenomenal and unexpected scene that displays some natural caution and awkwardness in the body language, although as a statement of intent it seems choreographed as something of a loving tribute the Queen and in some ways the new King, who took what was maybe the first step in speaking of his love for Harry and Meghan in his recent speech.
'The four line up together to suggest some form of unity and it is William, with his puffed chest and air of confidence, who looks like the leader and instigator. Harry performs some clothing touch anxiety rituals but Meghan seems to be on hand to offer comfort, support and encouragement.'
As they walked along the gates of Windsor Castle together, temporarily putting aside the differences sparked by the Sussexes' departure, they appeared to maintain a significant distance from each other.
The couples only came together briefly at the start and end of the engagement, when they appeared to enter and exit the same vehicle with one another.
Throughout the rest of the walkabout, which is believed to have lasted some 30 minutes, Prince William and Kate, and Meghan and Harry, appeared to stick to their two couples - perhaps instructed to by their aides - and barely interacted during the sombre occasion.
The two couples, who have not been seen together in an official capacity since March 2020, appeared to maintain their distance from each other (pictured L-R: the Princess and Prince of Wales, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex)
After speaking to the crowds, the couples made their way to their separate vehicles. At one point, the two Duchesses appeared to be avoiding making eye contact (pictured)
During the walkabout today, the royals inspected the sea of floral tributes laid outside the gates of the Berkshire estate in tribute to the late Queen
As the four emerged from their vehicle, the couple did not appear to interact with each other.
While Kate and William spoke to an unidentified man, thought to be an aide, Harry stepped back towards Meghan, and the pair listened while locked in an embrace, with the Duke's arm around his wife's waist.
As they started walking, with the two men standing next to each other, while their respective wives flanked them on the outside, William and Harry appeared to engage in a brief chat, as Kate and Meghan looked straight ahead.
At times, Kate appeared to stand some distance from the group.
'Kate looks slightly distanced although she is close to William when the couples split slightly,' said Judi.
Before setting off on the walkabout, the couples spoke to an unidentified man (far left), with William and Kate appearing to do most of the talking, as Meghan hung back
As they emerged from their vehicle, the two couples did not appear to be engaging with each other, and looked straight ahead
While making their way towards the floral tributes, Kate and William mainly walked separately, occasionally reaching out and touching. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan maintained contact most of the time, often holding hands
During the walkabout, the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared to walk slightly ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
According to body language expert Judi James, it was 'William, with his puffed chest and air of confidence, who looks like the leader and instigator'
She added that the meeting represented 'an adult approach from the new Prince of Wales', saying it 'could have broken a lot of ice'
As they reached the gates, the two couples stopped to look at some of the floral tributes left by well-wishes.
Harry and Meghan stayed close together, and often if they were separated, were seen reaching for each other to hold hands.
According to Judi: 'When the couple clasp hands it is Harry’s fingers wiggling downward while Meghan’s are curled around his palm, with her thumb gently stroking his hand. She performs touches on his back and small strokes and other tie-signs and there are some moments when she is the one looking across for communication with William and Kate.'
As the royals started the long walk to Windsor Castle, they split up, each attending to one side of the crowd, which was heard cheering of both the couples.
Once they finished meeting the public, the four reconvened in front of their vehicles, where they had a brief chat, before getting into their respective cars.
Describing the overall tone of the meeting, Judi told FEMAIL: 'There’s no signs of relaxed engagement or even affection here but the fact they are lining up together and communicating again is impressive in itself.
'It’s an adult approach from the new Prince of Wales and it could have broken a lot of ice in terms of their body language at the funeral and beyond.'
The two couples seemed to engage very little with each other, instead staying separate
Meghan was seen hugging Harry as he looked down at the floral tributes left to his grandmother
A Kensington Palace source said that the Prince of Wales invited the Sussexes to join him and the Princess of Wales earlier today.
At one moment, a small Paddington Bear was given to William, which he passed on to an aide. He was seen lightly touching Kate's back at one moment as she crouched down again to speak to a child at the front of the gates. Kate crouched down at one moment and began speaking to a child who had started to cry. The child stopped crying when Kate approached her.
One well-wisher who spoke to Harry and Meghan told MailOnline:'It's lovely to see them both together. Maybe they can get back to a proper relationship. Lovely ripple went through the crowd as they approached. Hopefully the healing between Harry and his brother can start now. I'm just so excited to have seen them both together. It's lovely.'
Today's appearance by the couple followed Prince William sharing a public statement regarding the death of his grandmother.
In the post, which he shared on Instagram, the royal wrote: 'On Thursday, the world lost an extraordinary leader, whose commitment to the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth was absolute. So much will be said in the days ahead about the meaning of her historic reign.
'I, however, have lost a grandmother. And while I will grieve her loss, I also feel incredibly grateful. I have had the benefit of The Queen's wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade. My wife has had 20 years of her guidance and support. My three children have got to spend holidays with her and create memories that will last their whole lives.
'She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life. I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real.
'I thank her for the kindness she showed my family and me. And I thank her on behalf of my generation for providing an example of service and dignity in public life that was from a different age, but always relevant to us all.
'My grandmother famously said that grief was the price we pay for love. All of the sadness we will feel in the coming weeks will be testament to the love we felt for our extraordinary Queen.
'I will honour her memory by supporting my father, The King, in every way I can.'
Today's appearance followed the publication of an official statement by Prince William (pictured) which he posted on Instagram
It was revealed yesterday that William and Kate will become Prince and Princess of Wales, with King Charles confirming the news in his first televised address to the nation since the death of the Queen.
He said: 'Today, I am proud to create [William] Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.
'With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given.'
Kate, formerly known as the Duchess of Cambridge, will now hold the titles of the Duchess of Cornwall and the Princess of Wales - the first member of the Royal Family to hold the title since Princess Diana.
In his first televised address to the nation since the death of the Queen, King Charles III confirmed his son Prince William would inherit his title of the Prince of Wales and his wife Kate would become Princess
Kate Middleton has said that she ‘appreciates the history’ associated with the role of the Princess of Wales but wants to create her ‘own path’
Kate, formerly known as the Duchess of Cambridge, will now hold the titles of the Duchess of Cornwall and the Princess of Wales - the first member of the Royal Family to hold the title since Princess Diana
However a source said the new Princess of Wales 'appreciates the history associated with this role but will understandably want to look to the future as she creates her own path'.
The royal source said: 'The couple are focused on deepening the trust and respect of the people of Wales over time.
'The Prince and Princess of Wales will approach their roles in the modest and humble way they’ve approached their work previously.'
Since the 14th century the title of the Princess of Wales has been used by the wives of the Princes of Wales. However, it is a courtesy title.
Technically, Charles's wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles, has been the Princess of Wales until now, but she has used the feminine equivalent of Charles's Duke of Cornwall title, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The Duchess of Cornwall is thought to not use the Princess of Wales title out of respect for Charles's ex-wife Princess Diana, who died in Paris in August 1997.
Kate, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, will be heartbroken that Her Majesty has passed away

Grieving Kate was spotted yesterday for the first time since the death of Her Majesty on Thursday.
Hiding her eyes behind dark glasses, and wearing black, Kate, was spotted driving to pick up her three children from school after their first week at Lambrook near Ascot yesterday afternoon.
The death of their great-grandmother the Queen will be a heavy blow to Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Prince Louis, as they and their parents begin a new life at Adelaide Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle - where Her Majesty spent most of the year.
On Tuesday 'the gang', as they call themselves, chased up the steps of their new prep, prompting beams of delight from William and Kate who held their hands when they arrived. Within 48 hours the country was in mourning - but the Duchess decided to stay in Windsor to support the children at school as William flew to Aberdeenshire on a RAF jet.

(NerdWallet) – Bringing a child into your family is a big decision, emotionally and financially. The process can be long and cost anywhere from less than $1,000 to more than $50,000. Here’s a breakdown of the different ways you can grow your family through adoption — and how much you could expect to spend.
How much does adoption cost?
The cost of adoption depends on the type of adoption you pursue. As you consider how you might want to move forward, keep in mind there are several ways to pay for adoption, from fundraisers and grants to personal loans.
Public agency adoption
How it works: Adopting children through the public welfare system often means beginning as a foster parent. Each state has its own agency, which oversees licensing, education, placement and support for adoptive families.
What it costs: Adoption from foster care is a low-cost option for parents. Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the Children’s Bureau under the federal Office of the Administration for Children and Families, characterizes foster care adoption as “virtually free of cost.” The majority of foster adoptions cost less than $1,000, according to the most recent Adoptive Families magazine adoption cost survey conducted in 2016-17.
This path to adoption is inexpensive because of state and federal adoption assistance programs put in place to make it more accessible and appealing to adopt children who are in foster care. These children are often older and may have experienced trauma or have special needs.
Helpful resource: The Children’s Bureau offers a state-by-state guide to adoption assistance.
Private adoption
How it works: Parents can work with an adoption agency or attorney to find and adopt children in the U.S. Generally, the process of adopting a child is similar whether you work through a private agency or independently with the help of an attorney. It involves a home study, placement, counseling, training and legal documentation.
What it costs: The cost of a private adoption varies. Working with an agency, you can expect to spend between $30,000 and $60,000, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway. It’s slightly less expensive to pursue an independent adoption, which involves working with an attorney. That process ranges in cost from $25,000 to $45,000. Private adoptions are more likely to involve newborns. That means in addition to paying for the adoption process, you would also cover the birth mother’s medical and other expenses.
Intercountry adoption
How it works: This path involves working with private or public adoption agencies in countries outside the United States. The process and fees vary by country and depend on the organization you work with, which could be a government office, agency, orphanage, nonprofit or an individual like an attorney. Some aspects of the process are unique. You’ll have to work through the immigration process, including applying for passports and travel visas, and navigate foreign legal systems. The road can be long. Child Welfare Information Gateway estimates intercountry adoption can take one to five years to complete.
What it costs: On average, intercountry adoption costs $20,000 to $50,000.
Expenses that may arise when adopting a child
Home study
A home study marks the beginning of the adoption process.
During a home study, prospective parents — and their family members — are checked out to make sure they would provide a safe and loving place for a child. A home study requires you to produce documents, including financial statements, employment records and a letter from your doctor about your latest physical. You’d also undergo background checks and interviews. This evaluation phase can cost from $2,000 to $4,000, according to The Gladney Center for Adoption, an adoption agency based in Fort Worth, Texas. That price may be adjusted based on your family’s income.
This step in the process also includes education and training. Some of it may be provided by the state agency that administers the home study at a cost ranging from $300 to $600. Additional hours of training are likely required and would be done on your own through books or online courses, which can cost $100 to $200 per person.
Lastly, during the home study, you’ll agree to a post-placement reporting phase. In the United States, a social worker visits the family multiple times over a six-month period after the child has been placed in the home. Fees for post-placement reporting can range from $1,500 to $2,000.
Search fees
When working with a private agency or an attorney, a major expense in the process goes to searching for and getting matched with a birth mother. Fees for a consultant and advertising may be rolled into an adoption agency’s overall fee. But if you’re pursuing an independent adoption, you’ll likely pay for these services separately and costs can range more widely, depending on how and where you want to advertise. The Gladney Center estimates consulting and advertising can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for an independent adoption.
Birth mother expenses
People adopting a newborn will be responsible for paying the birth mother’s expenses. This can include medical bills and some living expenses, as well as counseling, legal fees and travel. The Gladney Center estimates these expenses can cost between $6,000 and $8,000 for parents pursuing a private adoption.
Legal fees
There are a lot of legal requirements in adoption, including terminating the rights of the birth parents, court filings, negotiating birth mother expenses and finalizing the adoption after the post-placement reporting period. An adoption agency may roll some of these expenses into its overall fee.
If you’re pursuing an independent adoption, legal fees will be the bulk of your expenses, costing between $7,000 and $15,000.
Travel
Travel costs can crop up for domestic adoptions, though they’re most significant in intercountry adoptions. Distance is a key factor in how much you’ll pay for travel. Another is time. You might be waiting days or weeks for the final legal approval to bring a child home, especially when crossing state lines or country borders.
For private domestic adoptions, you could pay up to $3,000 in travel expenses, according to the Gladney Center. (You could look at getting a travel credit card to offset some of those expenses.)
Estimates vary for intercountry adoption-related travel. The cost can depend on the country where the child is living and the organization you’re working with. In a cost estimate on its website, New Beginnings — an international adoption agency based in New York — says the adoption of a child in South Korea could include $6,000 to $9,000 in travel expenses. The Child Welfare Information Gateway advised in a September 2020 intercountry adoption guide that adoptive parents are often required to be in the child’s country to finalize the adoption. It may require multiple, extended visits.
Raising a child
Adoption in itself can be a long and expensive process, but that’s only a precursor to the full cost of raising a child. New parents should budget for those expenses, which can top $21,000 in the first year alone.

The million-dollar worth mansion on Australia’s Gold Coast where Johnny Depp severed his finger is officially up for grabs.
Owned by former 500cc motorcycle world champion Mick Doohan, it has been estimated to be worth $40million and will go under the hammer on September 28.
The sprawling property, known as Diamond Head, boasts 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms and sits on 18 hectares, as per DailyMail.
Previously rented by Brad Pitt, it comes with a helipad, a 2000-bottle wine cellar, and a cinema.
In 2015, Johnny, 59, had the tip of his finger severed during an argument he had with Amber Heard, his partner at the time.

(WJW) — Even 110 years after the Titanic sank, stories and images of the iconic ship continue to captivate audiences around the world. Have you ever wished you could see the ship up close and in person? Well, now you can.
That’s right — you can dive to the depths of the ocean and see the Titanic for yourself.
OceanGate Expeditions, a company made up of undersea explorers, scientists, and filmmakers, offers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The company says fewer than 250 people have seen the ship — which sits about 2.5 miles below the ocean’s surface — since its discovery 37 years ago.
This is a chance to join that shortlist.
The images below are provided by OceanGateExpeditions.com
What does the 2023 Titanic Expedition consist of?
According to OceanGate, the 2023 Titanic Expedition is an eight-day mission that begins and ends in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
There are a series of missions that will take place in 2023.
Each mission includes up to five 6-8-hour dives.
During each mission, on the way to the dive site, a team of six “Mission Specialists” will take part in the training. The purpose of the training is to become more familiar with the crew, officers, safety procedures, and generally how things work while aboard.
OceanGate explains Mission Specialists are “citizen explorers” that work as a member of the crew and provide support.
What is the goal of the mission?
The mission is to explore the Titanic’s wreck site.
According to OceanGate, this is the company’s third expedition to survey the site. And because of the ship’s size and the scale of the surrounding area, the dives will continue for several more years.
The company describes on its website the job of those taking part: “Throughout your mission, you will actively support the team to help collect images and video, and to conduct laser and sonar scans to collect data to provide an objective baseline to assess the current condition of the wreck. This baseline will be used to assess the rate of decay over time and help to document and digitally preserve the historic maritime site.”
How do I qualify?
There are typically 30 positions available for Mission Specialists each season, according to organizers, and the series of missions typically take place between June and August.
Requirements include:
- Must be at least 18 years of age when the mission begins.
- Have a valid passport, be able to live aboard a Dive Support Ship at sea for up to one week
- Be able to board small boats (Zodiacs) in rough seas
- Must be comfortable in dynamic environments where plans and timetables may change
- Be able to demonstrate basic strength, balance and flexibility (i.e. climb a 6-foot ladder, carry 20 lbs., etc.)
More details can be found here.
How much does it cost?
According to the company, the training and support fee is $250,000.
The experience includes training, the eight-day mission, and dives to the Titanic aboard what OceanGate says is “the world’s only five-person submersible capable of reaching 4,000 meters.” Read more about the vessel here. If you’re interested in joining the shortlist, you can reserve your spot here.
Why is the Titanic so famous?
Even though its April 15, 1912, sinking is far from the only maritime disaster (the RMS Lusitania is another high-profile sinking), the RMS Titanic has remained wildly famous for over a century.
By the time it set out for its maiden voyage, the Titanic was already very famous. In addition to being the world’s largest ocean liner of the time (hence its name), the ship was also billed as being “unsinkable.”
All-in-all, about 1,500 passengers and staff were killed in the disaster, which lasted several hours. At the time, the victim count was among the highest in commercial sailing, lending to its shock value. Additionally, the fact that the Titanic sank slowly, allowing for hours of panic, may also add to the mystique.
“The Titanic sank in two hours and 40 minutes, the length of a classic play,” University of California San Diego literature professor Stephen D. Cox wrote for CNN. “… Other disasters were either too big or too small to develop this kind of interest. They happened too fast, or too slowly… There was no time for people to assess their options; to consider what they could do, or what they should do, morally.”
Celebrity also factors into the equation. Some of the U.S. and Europe’s most notable society members were aboard the Titanic, including American socialite Molly Brown, and multi-millionaire tycoons John Jacob Astor IV and Benjamin Guggenheim. Both Astor and Guggenheim died in the disaster.
Hollywood has also kept the Titanic alive.
There have been at least 15 film films involving the ship, in addition to countless documentaries. Most notable among the cinematic depictions is 1997’s “Titanic,” directed by James Cameron. The mega-blockbuster has grossed over $1.8 billion since its release, helped catapult the careers of stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, and snagged the Academy Award for Best Picture. Céline Dion’s smash hit “My Heart Will Go On” — featured both in the film and on its soundtrack — also remains one of music’s best-selling singles, serving as a musical reminder of the movie and the ship.
It may have been 110 years since the sinking, but the “Ship of Dreams” has yet to be forgotten.
“The disaster has become so invested with mythical status,” writes literary biographer Andrew Wilson in his 2012 book, “Shadow of the Titanic,” portions of which appeared in Smithsonian Magazine. “It’s been said that the name Titanic is the third most widely recognized word in the world, after ‘God’ and ‘Coca-Cola.'”

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Under pressure from his Republican rival, Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman said this week he would participate in one debate before the November election.
In Georgia, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker are still working through the details of what a debate might look like, though they appear to be inching closer to a deal. And in Arizona, Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Katie Hobbs has declined a televised debate with Republican Kari Lake.
With the fall campaign rapidly approaching, the time-honored tradition of televised debates as a forum for voters to evaluate candidates may be the latest casualty of constant media coverage and powerful digital platforms, as well as the nation’s polarized political climate. For some Republicans, eschewing debates is a chance to sidestep a media structure some in the party deride as biased and align with Donald Trump, who has blasted presidential debates. Some Democrats, including Hobbs, have pointed to raucous GOP debates from the primary season as a reason to avoid tangling with their opponents.
Despite such skepticism, veteran political consultant Terry Sullivan defended debates as “the one forum where candidates are forced into answering questions that they don’t want to answer.”
“They’re not going to do it in their TV commercials,” added Sullivan, who managed GOP Sen. Jim DeMint’s 2004 bid in South Carolina and handled media for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential effort. “And in stump appearances, press conferences, they can evade, they can dodge.”
And sometimes, Sullivan added, it’s the media coverage of what happens onstage, rather than the back-and-forth itself, that can make a bigger impression.
In what “should have been the most boring debate in the history of mankind,” Sullivan said that a 2004 panelist questioning DeMint and Democrat Inez Tenenbaum asked DeMint if he agreed with a state GOP platform tenet in opposition of openly gay teachers in South Carolina’s public schools.
“That kind of turned the race on its head for the next three months,” Sullivan said, noting headlines he characterized as “DeMint wants to fire gay teachers.”
DeMint went on to win the open seat by nearly 10 percentage points, a margin typical in recent South Carolina statewide elections. But in more competitive states, Sullivan said, a debate can serve as “a good way to find out where candidates are on the issues.”
In addition to winning candidates thousands of impressions in earned media and repackaged video clips, debate footage can also propel candidates’ messages far more broadly – and cheaply – than could television ad buys, said Michael Wukela, a South Carolina Democratic media consultant and veteran of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential bids.
“You’re getting that in one shot,” Wukela said, of a debate appearance being worth airtime that would otherwise cost millions. “That’s like a Super Bowl ad.”
Refusal to participate can draw ire from rivals. The Republicans whom Walker refused to debate ahead of Georgia’s primary critiqued him as ill-prepared to take on Warnock, a skilled orator.
“If you can’t get on the stage and debate fellow Republicans, how the heck are you going to debate with Raphael Warnock in the general election?” Latham Saddler, a Navy veteran and former Trump administration official who was among five Republicans challenging Walker, asked. “Usually if you’re hiding, you’re hiding for a reason.”
Walker repeatedly proclaimed his eagerness to face off with Warnock in the fall but, instead of agreeing to Warnock’s challenge to three debates, accepted an invitation to a different one altogether. This week, Warnock said he would participate in that debate, if Walker agreed to another forum Warnock wants. That back-and-forth remains unresolved.
Other Senate contests are playing out similarly.
In North Carolina, where U.S. Rep. Ted Budd skipped four Republican primary debates in his U.S. Senate bid, said Friday he wouldn’t accept an invitation from the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters to debate Democrat Cheri Beasley, as the two head for a presumably close general election. Budd said he had accepted a cable debate invite, but there’s no agreement with Beasley on that appearance.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, mused to reporters this week about what would happen if voters elected a senator who never has ”answered a legitimate question from a voter, from a newscaster in a non-taped setting, in a debate stage?” citing Fetterman’s campaign-trail absence as he recovers from a stroke.
Fetterman’s campaign said he will participate in a televised debate in October but gave no other details, including why he would agree to just one debate. Oz’s campaign immediately dubbed it a “secret debate,” with no details on when or where.
In Pennsylvania’s governor’s race, the Republican nominee Doug Mastriano has rejected a media-moderated debate and instead reserved a hotel ballroom on Oct. 22 and picked a partisan moderator for himself: Mercedes Schlapp, who served as Trump’s White House strategic communications director and is married to the chair of the American Conservative Union.
The campaign of Democrat Josh Shapiro said Mastriano’s refusal to accept an independent moderator blew up about a dozen invitations from news organizations and other groups.
Some incumbents with an edge on their rivals have rebuffed requests for multiple debates, uninterested in taking a risk on stage that might change the course of their campaign.
South Carolina Democrat Joe Cunningham called for four general-election debates with Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, whose campaign dismissed the request as a “stunt” and ultimately agreed to one matchup. In Texas, GOP Gov. Greg Abbott has granted a single debate to Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke – on a Friday night in the thick of high school football season, which will be broadcast as distracted voters are instead at games kicking off around the state.
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis initially committed to a statewide televised debate with his Democratic opponent before U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist – who came under fire for not agreeing to primary debates – won his party’s nomination. Now, the two are set to spar in a single debate, shown only on a West Palm Beach TV station.
Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Republican nominee Tudor Dixon finally agreed to a single October debate after a scheduling flap. Whitmer announced last month she would participate in two statewide, televised debates, a decision her campaign said was “consistent with past precedent.” Dixon, who criticized Whitmer for not debating before voter are able to send in absentee ballots, ultimately agreed to the solo meeting.
Noting that the uncertainty of debates can be “terrifying” for all involved, Wukela acknowledged incumbents’ reticence to allowing their challengers prominent opportunities to equate themselves with the office, or its existing occupant.
“Strom Thurmond refused to debate any of his opponents,” Wukela said of the longtime South Carolina Democrat-turned-Republican governor and senator. “If I’ve got a four-touchdown lead, why would I ever throw the ball?”

(THE HILL) — Former Vice President Mike Pence railed against President Biden’s speech arguing “MAGA Republicans” pose a threat to democracy, telling a conservative women’s group that the address amounted to a “partisan campaign rally” that demonized the right.
“Did you see that speech last week? President Biden held a partisan campaign rally at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, flanked by uniformed United States Marines, and revealed what’s truly at stake in the next election,” Pence said in remarks Wednesday night to Concerned Women for America, a conservative anti-abortion group.
Pence took issue in particular with Biden’s comments that Republicans who oppose abortion rights are taking the country “backwards.” Pence has pushed for states to pass their own laws restriction abortion after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade over the summer.
“The president made it clear that he views pro-life Americans as enemies of democracy,” Pence said. “In fact, he said that anyone who refuses to bend the knee to his extremist left-wing ideology represents ‘an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.’”
“Never before in the history of our nation has a president stood before the American people and accused millions of his own countrymen of being a ‘threat to this country,'” Pence continued. “To top it off, President Biden had the audacity to claim, ‘I’m asking our nation to come together, to unite.’”
Republican lawmakers and conservatives have roundly criticized Biden’s speech in Philadelphia last week in which the president warned that former President Trump and Republicans aligned with him are a threat to democracy.
Biden specifically cited the way “MAGA Republicans” attack law enforcement, sow distrust in election results and spread conspiracy theories as ways they are undermining democracy.
Biden has since said he does not believe all Trump voters are a threat to democracy, but many in the GOP have still chastised the president for giving what they viewed as a political address attacking conservatives.
But the criticism from Pence was particularly noteworthy because of his former boss.
Trump frequently demonizes Democrats, painting them as socialists and saying at a campaign rally that Biden was an “enemy of the state” in response to the Philadelphia speech.
Pence also faced danger on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and could be heard chanting “Hang Mike Pence” after Trump spent months claiming there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election and that Pence unilaterally could overturn the results.
Pence has spoken repeatedly about that day in recent months, saying he disagreed with Trump and felt it was his duty to certify the election results.
The former vice president is widely seen as a potential 2024 presidential candidate. Pence has made multiple trips to early voting states like New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, and he has been a prominent presence in boosting Republican candidates ahead of the midterms.

Measuring the impact of COVID-19 on the education gap in classrooms
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- With every passing day of the new school year, teachers are having to pull double duty as they teach this year's lessons, but also are trying to make up for the pandemic gap.
It's a real issue in virtually every classroom and KDKA's John Shumway took a look at how teachers are trying to handle it.
First off, no one is to blame for the gap -- not students, schools, or teachers, but the gap needs to be addressed or it will only get larger and the kids will pay the price.
There is a general assumption that because the kids are back in school, that all is back to normal.
Dr. Leanna Lawson, the Program Director of Training and Consultation at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit says that that there are numerous requests for help coming in from the 42 school districts in the AIU.
"It becomes very challenging to figure out what needs addressed for individual students and then the students as a whole," Lawson said.
Carlynton School Superintendent Dr. John Kreider says the gaps aren't just academic.
"We're coming along. We are recognizing that there are gaps in learning but our teachers are working very hard and I know it's not just the Carlynton -- it's schools across Allegheny County, across Pennsylvania, and across the United States to fill in those gaps," Kreider said.
Kreider says that there are some students entering kindergarten that didn't attend preschool or students entering 1st grade that didn't attend kindergarten.
In addition to an academic gap, this can also cause a socialization and emotional gap.
"We want kids to be fostering their peer relationships and friendships and that sense of belonging in a school environment, Lawson said.
These issues aren't limited to younger students, as Lawson says issues are being recognized across all grades and that all issues are not the same.
Part of the issue is that every child's gap is different, so the schools are working to get them caught up while continuing this year's work.
The inconsistency of education, online, in-person, or virtual learning over the past couple years has helped create the gap because students haven't learned evenly and are missing things.
"Many schools have hired different personal reading specialists or math specialists to help close those gaps with with individual children who are experiencing those difficulties especially in reading and math," Kreider said.
"Reading and math has a lot of connections to the sciences to extracurriculars and so on. So that's where a lot of schools put put some of their efforts," Kreider said.
With the number of hours available in school, the pressure is on.
"Because they not only need to close some of those gaps, but they need to keep the learning going so that kids don't fall further and further behind," Lawson said.
Lawson says parents shouldn't assume their child is gapless and suggests reaching out to their teacher or teachers.
"Teachers can often be very explicit about what kinds of skills that kids might need to practice at home to to help being caught up," Lawson.
Lawson and Kreider both say that the recovery from the pandemic gap won't come quickly and that it's critical for high schoolers who need to cram it in quickly -- for the younger kids, the full catch-up might be measured in years.
As a parent, if your child's teacher identifies a particular skill, you can follow their lead and work with the children.
This gap is a significant issue and the schools are dealing with it head-on every day.

(WJW) — Even 110 years after the Titanic sank, stories and images of the iconic ship continue to captivate audiences around the world. Have you ever wished you could see the ship up close and in person? Well, now you can.
That’s right — you can dive to the depths of the ocean and see the Titanic for yourself.
OceanGate Expeditions, a company made up of undersea explorers, scientists, and filmmakers, offers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The company says fewer than 250 people have seen the ship — which sits about 2.5 miles below the ocean’s surface — since its discovery 37 years ago.
This is a chance to join that shortlist.
The images below are provided by OceanGateExpeditions.com
What does the 2023 Titanic Expedition consist of?
According to OceanGate, the 2023 Titanic Expedition is an eight-day mission that begins and ends in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
There are a series of missions that will take place in 2023.
Each mission includes up to five 6-8-hour dives.
During each mission, on the way to the dive site, a team of six “Mission Specialists” will take part in the training. The purpose of the training is to become more familiar with the crew, officers, safety procedures, and generally how things work while aboard.
OceanGate explains Mission Specialists are “citizen explorers” that work as a member of the crew and provide support.
What is the goal of the mission?
The mission is to explore the Titanic’s wreck site.
According to OceanGate, this is the company’s third expedition to survey the site. And because of the ship’s size and the scale of the surrounding area, the dives will continue for several more years.
The company describes on its website the job of those taking part: “Throughout your mission, you will actively support the team to help collect images and video, and to conduct laser and sonar scans to collect data to provide an objective baseline to assess the current condition of the wreck. This baseline will be used to assess the rate of decay over time and help to document and digitally preserve the historic maritime site.”
How do I qualify?
There are typically 30 positions available for Mission Specialists each season, according to organizers, and the series of missions typically take place between June and August.
Requirements include:
- Must be at least 18 years of age when the mission begins.
- Have a valid passport, be able to live aboard a Dive Support Ship at sea for up to one week
- Be able to board small boats (Zodiacs) in rough seas
- Must be comfortable in dynamic environments where plans and timetables may change
- Be able to demonstrate basic strength, balance and flexibility (i.e. climb a 6-foot ladder, carry 20 lbs., etc.)
More details can be found here.
How much does it cost?
According to the company, the training and support fee is $250,000.
The experience includes training, the eight-day mission, and dives to the Titanic aboard what OceanGate says is “the world’s only five-person submersible capable of reaching 4,000 meters.” Read more about the vessel here. If you’re interested in joining the shortlist, you can reserve your spot here.
Why is the Titanic so famous?
Even though its April 15, 1912, sinking is far from the only maritime disaster (the RMS Lusitania is another high-profile sinking), the RMS Titanic has remained wildly famous for over a century.
By the time it set out for its maiden voyage, the Titanic was already very famous. In addition to being the world’s largest ocean liner of the time (hence its name), the ship was also billed as being “unsinkable.”
All-in-all, about 1,500 passengers and staff were killed in the disaster, which lasted several hours. At the time, the victim count was among the highest in commercial sailing, lending to its shock value. Additionally, the fact that the Titanic sank slowly, allowing for hours of panic, may also add to the mystique.
“The Titanic sank in two hours and 40 minutes, the length of a classic play,” University of California San Diego literature professor Stephen D. Cox wrote for CNN. “… Other disasters were either too big or too small to develop this kind of interest. They happened too fast, or too slowly… There was no time for people to assess their options; to consider what they could do, or what they should do, morally.”
Celebrity also factors into the equation. Some of the U.S. and Europe’s most notable society members were aboard the Titanic, including American socialite Molly Brown, and multi-millionaire tycoons John Jacob Astor IV and Benjamin Guggenheim. Both Astor and Guggenheim died in the disaster.
Hollywood has also kept the Titanic alive.
There have been at least 15 film films involving the ship, in addition to countless documentaries. Most notable among the cinematic depictions is 1997’s “Titanic,” directed by James Cameron. The mega-blockbuster has grossed over $1.8 billion since its release, helped catapult the careers of stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, and snagged the Academy Award for Best Picture. Céline Dion’s smash hit “My Heart Will Go On” — featured both in the film and on its soundtrack — also remains one of music’s best-selling singles, serving as a musical reminder of the movie and the ship.
It may have been 110 years since the sinking, but the “Ship of Dreams” has yet to be forgotten.
“The disaster has become so invested with mythical status,” writes literary biographer Andrew Wilson in his 2012 book, “Shadow of the Titanic,” portions of which appeared in Smithsonian Magazine. “It’s been said that the name Titanic is the third most widely recognized word in the world, after ‘God’ and ‘Coca-Cola.'”

ESPN rebounded from a low point after bringing in College GameDay guest picker Jack Harlow last week for an all-time poor performance on the morning pre-game show.
This Saturday’s GameDay guest picker was actor Glen Powell, most famously known for his performance as “Hangman” Seresin in the record-breaking hit Top Gun: Maverick.
Powell brought a lot more fun, energy and actual game awareness to the broadcast, donning a mullet in honor of Texas starting quarterback Quinn Ewers:
Powell was actually familiar with several of the players and follows college football closely enough to know who Nick Saban is.
To be fair, he did actually attend the University of Texas, giving him an advantage over Harlow. But it’s still refreshing to see a GameDay guest picker engaged in the show and with the hosts.
Powell also pledged to take a shot of “Bijan dijon” every time Robinson scores a touchdown during the Alabama game.
Robinson scored the first touchdown of the game for the Longhorns, so Powell should be one shot in so far if he’s living up to his word.
Powell clearly got ready for his assignment early Saturday, dancing to the Texas band before his appearance:
Maybe ESPN should just use Powell as the GameDay guest picker every week for the rest of the season.

Opinion
Seven ridiculous reasons you could be rejected for a home loan
Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon
Money contributorMy quest for a new mortgage – to retain my children’s home after sadly separating with their wonderful dad – continues.
I’m almost starting to regret adding my signature to an open letter to the previous Federal government, urging it not to relax responsible lending laws.
Sure, with new-found solidarity with solo parents, applying for a mortgage based on a single income doesn’t help. Or a COVID-affected one.
Here are some of the biggest obstacles I, and throngs of other Aussies frantically chasing cheaper home loans today, face. Some may seem relatively sensible, but others are a bit of a joke.
1. Spending too much
When a lender assesses you for a mortgage, they want to know if you have enough “fat” in your finances to fork out the monthly repayments. A so-called “serviceability test” determines if there is enough space between your income and your expenses.
However, the test is not just for now. They also assess you for if official interest rates rise by a further 3 percentage points. Until the end of last year, it was only 2.5 percentage points. That is on top of a mortgage interest rate that has probably already lifted 2.25 percentage points in the past five months alone, as the Reserve Bank of Australia strikes to combat inflation, and your repayment capacity shrinks.
The Netflix test is the other side of the monthly affordability equation and refers to an examination of your every expense in the three months before applying for a loan.
However, if you believe artificially slashing your spending in that period will help, think again.
2. Spending too little
Banks are on to people who dramatically decrease their monthly expenses. Becoming a hermit won’t help.
Across usually 12 categories, they check that you are spending a “realistic amount.” If they deem you don’t, they will instead use a standardised measure of your cost-of-living known as the “household expenditure measure”.
3. Earning ‘wrong’ income
The operative word is “earning”: Preferably from someone else’s business, not your own.
Most lenders favour earned, employed income. Casual income may not come into the equation until it has been consistent for an entire year. Even then, a month will likely be chopped off annual income on the assumption that you will likely take a holiday for at least that long each year.
Any overtime – unless it is officially recorded on your payslip – will likely also be overlooked.
What about child support from an ex-partner? You need to have a formal agreement and a faultless payment pattern – and not a cent above the required amount counts.
Investment or dividend income is often ignored, too. However, a few lenders consider the lower amount of the past two years’ income.
If you have made a loss inside your own business, it is also lopped off your application total income.
As a separated applicant who earns income through a long-established but COVID-hit small business, I am hit by almost all of the above.
And a category that seems so unfair it deserves to be all of its own:
4. Receiving JobKeeper
Many people had their earnings cut after being laid-off or had their hours reduced by COVID-19 conditions in the past two years. Some received fortnightly JobKeeper payments to help keep them financially afloat.
Well, lenders are disregarding these in income calculations, even though regular income may have, during lockdowns, totally dried up.
This policy particularly applies to look-two-years-back, small-business assessments. Any additional small-business pandemic payments are similarly deducted.
5. Holding a credit card
You may say “but my credit card balance is zero.” It matters not.
As of a few years ago, you must have enough spare cash to repay even an unused credit card limit in three years. And that’s after you consider any new home loan repayments.
Whatever your credit card limit, it will typically rule out seven-to-eight times that amount of your borrowing capacity.
Be aware that if you cut up your card, though, the same three-years-to-clear rule applies to getting a fresh limit. Indeed, you might never get a credit card back.
6. Asking for too much
Now we move from the cushion that counts in your serviceability assessment, to the multiple of what you want to borrow versus your annual salary.
Known as your debt-to-income ratio, this borrowing brake has recently been in the spotlight.
Although it is often assessed on a bank-by-bank basis, eight, seven or six times your income is now where you could top out for the total amount of the mortgage. This is irrespective of whether a property is worth double your longed-for loan and your equity, therefore, huge.
And speaking of equity, remember that not only are the cheapest rates available if you own outright more than 20 per cent of your property, borrowing more than 80 per cent will trigger expensive lenders’ mortgage insurance. Obtaining a lower mortgage interest rate will take a good while to compensate for this expense.
7. Payslip advice
I have even heard of a lender refusing to look at an applicant because it requires – of an employee no less – three months’ of payslips this financial year.
So, you can forget about a new mortgage or a refinancing, if this is the case, until at least October.
So, is all now lost when it comes to home loans? It is still possible to get a new loan over the line?
Obtaining a loan approval now requires you to be canny. And, with interest rates still rising, probably quick, too.

The Feast of San Gennaro put a hit on “The Godfather.”
“In our rules, nobody can sell anything with ‘The Godfather’ or mobsters or anything that denigrates Italians,” John Fratta, a member of the committee that runs the iconic Little Italy festival, held from Sept. 15 to 25, told The Post. “We don’t need people thinking that the mob is running the feast.”
The 2016 decree was added to its vendor rules — and store owners in the area were told that if they want to still peddle the items, they must only be sold inside their shops.
“It’s gone. We don’t want that crap there,” he said of the mob-orabilia.
The vending booths are blessed by a monsignor on the first night of the event, now in its 96th year.
There was a time when zeppoles weren’t the only hot dough being passed around at the feast, which runs along Mulberry Street from Canal to Houston streets and honors the patron saint of Naples, Italy.
In 1996, then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani protected feast vendors after a federal indictment alleged the mob took $1.5 million from them in rental fees.
“Giuliani cleaned up this feast very well. Years ago, for key spots, there were envelopes given,” recalled Ernest Lepore, owner of Ferrara Bakery on Grand Street, which host the feast’s cannoli-eating contest on Friday. “You had to pay so much over and you got the spot and [the mobster] got an envelope. Even in jail he would get an envelope.”
The feast was portrayed in “The Godfather, Parts II and III” movies, under the name Feast of San Rocco. Scenes of the feast also appear the recent Paramount+ miniseries “The Offer,” which recalls the real-life involvement of gangsters in the making of the films.
“I don’t talk about ‘The Godfather,’” Fratta said. “I fight that. I’m with the Sons of Italy, and we fight that stereotype over and over again and it just keeps on creeping back to us.”
The Mulberry Street native, whose great grandfather, Luigi Vitale, was one of the founders of the feast, sat down last week with Mayor Adams – one of its honorary marshals this year.
“We met with the mayor and he said, ‘Do me a favor, give me the history of the feast,’” Fratta said. “And we told him, and he said, ‘This is something we have to keep.’”

But what weather conditions are the estimated 60,000 participants – plus spectators - likely to encounter on Sunday, September 11, along the 13.1 mile route?
According to experts at the Met Office, Saturday’s gloomy conditions are due to be replaced by a drier day.
At 10.45am, when the overwhelming bulk of competitors will begin running, temperatures are expected to be around 14 degrees Celsius.

There is only a one in 20 chance of rain.
Either side of 1pm, when many competitors finishing in around two hours will complete the course, temperatures in South Shields are likely to be 18 degrees Celsius with sunny intervals.
There will only be a one in 20 chance of rain with a south easterly wind of nine miles per hour hopefully helping runners along the final mile slog towards the finish line.
The 2022 race will be the first in three years to finish in South Shields.
The 2020 event was cancelled due to the pandemic with the amended 2021 route starting and ending in Newcastle owing to ongiong Covid concerns.

Free Speech Is Definitely Under Attack As Social Media Platforms, Government Are In Bed
September 10, 2022 | Tags: LIBERTY LOFT
One lingering concern in the era of social media is how and why online venues like Facebook and Twitter decide to “regulate” speech, as well as whether or not the government is pressuring them to do more. Recently, hundreds of pages of emails between federal authorities and the major social media platforms were dropped from the case; they are informative, if not conclusive, to read. Attorneys General from Louisiana and Missouri filed the civil lawsuit, claiming that the tech companies’ efforts to combat disinformation constitute “government action” under the law since they entail “open cooperation” with public authorities.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 31, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the IPO documents were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing their preparation. Additionally, the complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding TuSimple's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the IPO documents and defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) TuSimple's commitment to safety was significantly overstated and defendants concealed fundamental problems with the Company's technology; (2) TuSimple was rushing the testing of its autonomous driving technology in order to deliver driverless trucks to the market ahead of its more safety-conscious competitors; (3) there was a corporate culture within TuSimple that suppressed or ignored safety concerns in favor of unrealistically ambitious testing and delivery schedules; (4) the aforementioned conduct made accidents involving TuSimple's autonomous driving technology more likely; (5) the aforementioned conduct invited enhanced regulatory scrutiny and investigatory action toward TuSimple; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice.

- Kris and Kylie Jenner appeared on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" on Thursday.
- Kris took a lie detector test, forcing her to reveal her favorite child.
- Kris also denied speculation that she helped release Kim Kardashian's sex tape.
Kris Jenner finally revealed who her favorite child is.
The answer came on Thursday when Kris and her youngest daughter, Kylie Jenner, appeared on an episode of "The Late Late Show with James Corden." While strapped to a lie detector, Kris, 66, was forced to play favorites with her children.
"Am I your favorite child," Kylie, 25, asked.
Kris hesitated for a brief moment before replying, "Yes."
The lit detector technician then confirmed that Kris was telling the truth.
"I can't go home," Kris said.
Corden chimed in, saying, "Oh my god. The speed in which you answered."
Kris was previously married to the late Robert Kardashian, whom she shared four children with:
Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Rob. She later had Kendall and Kylie after marrying Caitlyn Jenner.
In the same interview, Kris denied speculation that she helped release Kim Kardashian's sex tape with Ray J.
Kylie Jenner, who shared two children with Travis Scott, also revealed that Kris helped deliver her son, Wolf, in February. She gave birth to her daughter, Stormi, in February 2018.
"You know, she delivered my first child," Kylie told Corden. "Fully took my baby out of the vagina."
"I delivered Stormi," Kris added. "I pulled that baby out of my child."
Kris has 12 grandchildren through five of her children, excluding Kendall.

Stepping up: Next generation of royals to see more scrutiny
LONDON (AP) — Prince William and wife Kate made a surprise joint appearance with Prince Harry and wife Meghan on Saturday, warmly greeting a large crowd gathered outside Windsor Castle to remember their long-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
Their “walkabout,” the first time the brothers have appeared amicably together in public since March 2020, comes at a time when the younger generation of Britain’s royal family must step up their responsibilities significantly.
William, long second-in-line to the throne, is now the heir apparent after his father, King Charles III, became Britain’s new monarch upon his mother’s death. That means William and Kate, both 40 and parents of three young children, immediately assume a much more central role as the new face of the monarchy.
William and Harry had been on frosty terms terms since Harry quit as a senior royal and moved to the U.S. two years ago. Their show of unity Saturday was reportedly initiated by William and left some observers hoping that Harry, 37, might return to the fray and support his elder brother in sharing the heavy workload now on William’s shoulders.
“Certainly William and Catherine, as the new Prince and Princess of Wales, will be even more in the media spotlight if that’s possible,” said Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine. “Until Thursday, there was a buffer between him and the throne. That buffer has now been removed.”
It’s a stark contrast to how thing were just two weeks ago, when William and Kate announced they were moving their family from central London to a more rural base in Windsor. Observers thought they were seeking more privacy and a more “normal” upbringing for their children, who just started a new year together at a private school.
Long before he became King Charles III, Britain’s new monarch indicated that he wanted a “slimmed down” monarchy with a tighter core group of full-time working royals and lower expenses.
That was before Harry’s move — and before the princes’ uncle, Prince Andrew, was effectively banished from public life following sexual misconduct scandals.
Not many other recognizable “working royals” — members of the royal family who officially represent the monarch — were left to share the hundreds of official engagements and numerous overseas visits undertaken each year.
The group includes Charles and his wife, Camilla, now the Queen Consort; William and Kate; the queen’s only daughter, Princess Anne; and the queen’s youngest child, Prince Edward, and his wife, Sophie. Also working royals, but much lesser known, are the queen’s first cousin, Prince Richard, and his wife, Birgitte.
In his first speech to the nation, which was broadcast Friday, Charles formally bestowed his own title, the Prince of Wales, to William. Kate is now the Princess of Wales, and is the first person since William’s late mother, Princess Diana, to hold the title.
William and Kate also inherit Charles and Camilla’s other honorary titles, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall. That means managing and taking income from the Duchy of Cornwall, an estate comprising land across the U.K. that is reportedly worth 1 billion pounds.
“With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given,” Charles said Friday.
In his speech, Charles said he knows won’t be able to devote as much time and energy to causes he cares most about, such as the environment and climate change.
William will now likely spend more time championing those topics. He already made his mark by founding the Earthshot Prize, an ambitious “legacy project” expected to hand out millions of pounds in grants for environmental initiatives over the next 10 years.
“It will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real,” William wrote in a statement Saturday. “I will honour her memory by supporting my father, The King, in every way I can.”
Charles also spoke briefly of Harry in his address to the nation, expressing his “love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, moved away from the U.K. to seek financial independence and freedom from severe British media scrutiny into their lives.
The couple is now settled in California with their two young children. Both Harry and Meghan repeatedly have aired their unhappiness with the royals since their departure.
Those tensions were put aside Saturday, as the two princes and their wives arrived in the same car to greet people who pressed against road barriers outside the gates of Windsor Castle. Each royal stopped to speak to both children and adults, accepting flowers and condolences from an excited crowd.
“It was so beautiful to see. I felt so emotional and I felt the queen would have loved it,” said Banita Ranow, 28. Her mother, Baljinder, said the visit was “fabulous.”
“I just hope in the future they remain like that and that the brothers come together,” she said.

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — A truncated tournament could pave the way for a thrilling finish to the BMW PGA Championship, with the top 10 players separated by two shots heading into Sunday's final round.
Rory McIlroy is in there. And so are two golfers from the Saudi-backed breakaway series.
The European tour's flagship event has been shortened to 54 holes after a day's play was canceled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Viktor Hovland and Soren Kjeldsen were tied for the lead on 12 under par Saturday at the end of the second round.
McIlroy finished birdie-birdie on the closing par 5s at Wentworth to shoot 7-under 65 — tying his career-low round in the tournament — and was in a three-way share of third place with Thomas Detry (65) and Rafa Cabrera Bello (65), a shot behind the leaders.
Then came five players on 10 under — including Adrian Otaegui (65) and Talor Gooch (64), who both now play in the contentious LIV Golf series. Gooch's presence in the field was criticized ahead of the event by some golfers who have decided to stick with the sport's established tours and shun the Saudi money.
Gooch was even name-checked by defending champion Billy Horschel, who said his fellow American was at Wentworth “for one reason only and that’s to try to get world ranking points because you don’t have it” in LIV tournaments.
Otaegui and Gooch will play together on Sunday.
Hovland shot 68 to follow up his opening 64, while Kjeldsen started with a bogey and finished birdie-birdie for a 64 after opening with a 68.
Hovland hasn't won since the Dubai Desert Classic in January. The last of Kjeldsen's four European tour titles came in 2015.
McIlroy, meanwhile, is coming off winning the Tour Championship — and the FedEx Cup — two weeks ago and is seeking back-to-back titles worldwide for the first time since 2014.
As the current leader of the Race to Dubai, the four-time major champion is also in a good position to win the money lists on both sides of the Atlantic.
“I felt my putting was really good,” McIlroy said after a 5-foot birdie putt at No. 18, which came soon after a big par save at No. 16, “and that’s kept me in the tournament.”
Play started at 6:40 a.m. local time on Saturday, with 30 players needing to finish their first rounds that were stopped late Thursday following the announcement of the death of the queen at the age of 96.
A decision was taken for there to be no play on Friday — meaning the event was cut to 54 holes — as a mark of respect to the monarch of more than 70 years and players, caddies and officials held a two-minute period of silence around the course at 9:50 a.m.
The proclamation of King Charles III was later shown on the television screens in the Championship Village.
Horschel said he and his wife visited Windsor Castle to pay their respects to the queen when the tournament was put on hold on Friday, with Australian player Min Woo Lee — who shot a week-low 62 — doing likewise at Buckingham Palace.
McIlroy paid tribute to the queen’s “dignity, dedication and grace personified."
“She was such a steadying figure for the entire country,” McIlroy said. “I was very fortunate, I got to meet her a few years ago and she could not have been nicer. I have the picture of that in my house alongside my MBE, which I am very proud of as well.
McIlroy said it was the “right decision” for the tournament to continue.
“I don’t think we are disrespecting anyone by playing and celebrating what a life the queen had,” he said.

Cobra Kai Season 5 Sees This Unexpected Character Embracing The No Mercy Rule
As it turns out, John Kreese should have stuck to his guns as Daniel LaRusso employs a technique he hasn’t thought of in perhaps 33 years.
After giving Daniel and Johnny an icy reception, Kreese finally acknowledges his hopeless situation and tries to make one last attempt to make something of it. The veteran sensei will happily shed light on Silver’s activities and future plans on the condition that Daniel will help him finish his prison time. Lacking the financial means to hire a decent attorney, Kreese challenges Daniel to pull the strings necessary to get one and get him out. The mentor in Miyagi-Do agrees, allowing Kreese an epic bean-spilling session that eventually blows him up.
Instead of getting details for a lawyer Daniel tempted him with, Kreese is struck with a twisted taste of his own medicine. The Cobra Kai founder opens a note from Daniel, believing it’s an attorney’s number, only to be reminded of a core Cobra Kai principle he seems to have forgotten – “NO MERCY MOTHERF*** *R”. It’s a mic-drop moment that shows just how far Daniel is willing to go now that Silver’s power is on the rise and the playing field is in dire need of leveling. That’s the sort of move we’d expect Daniel LaRusso to make during his brief stint on the enemy side in The Karate Kid Part III, but not now. Still, with such a drastic move against Kreese, what kind of retaliation does Daniel expect from such a move in the next chapter of the series?

What we know about Ezekiel Kelly, suspect in Memphis mass shooting
MEMPHIS, Tenn. ( WREG ) — A shooting rampage across Memphis came to an end Wednesday night, and Memphis police took 19-year-old Ezekiel Dejuan Kelly into custody.
Kelly was arrested at 9:20 p.m., and city leaders held a press conference just after midnight.
Memphis Police Director Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said during a news conference early Thursday that four people were killed and three others were wounded in seven shootings and at least two carjackings.
On social media — where Kelly is accused of livestreaming one of the killings — he went by various spellings of the name Zeek Huncho. In a Facebook Live video seen by a WREG staff member, a suspect who appeared to be Kelly was seen getting out of a car, walking into an AutoZone and firing shots. The video was later removed from the platform.
In 2020 at age 17, Kelly faced four felony charges, including two counts of attempted murder, one count of reckless endangerment and one count of possession of a firearm, according to court records.
Four dead, three injured in Memphis shooting rampage; suspect in custodySources told WREG he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of aggravated assault in the case in 2021. He received three years in that case.
Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland said Kelly was released March 16 after serving 11 months of a three-year sentence.
During Wednesday’s shooting rampage, the first killing was at 12:56 a.m., and officers responded to three more crime scenes before receiving a tip at 6:12 p.m. that the suspect was livestreaming himself threatening to cause harm to citizens, Davis said.
Police then sent out an alert warning people to be on the lookout for an armed and dangerous man responsible for multiple shootings and reportedly recording his actions on Facebook.
Three more shootings and two carjackings followed. Police said the suspect killed a woman in Memphis as he took her grey Toyota SUV, which, they say, he left behind when he stole a man’s Dodge Challenger across the state line in Southaven, Mississippi.
Kelly was arrested without incident two hours after the initial police alert when he crashed the Challenger during a high-speed chase and two guns were found in the vehicle, Davis said.

TORONTO — Marsha Hunt, one of the last surviving actors from Hollywood's so-called Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s who worked with performers ranging from Laurence Olivier to Andy Griffith in a career disrupted for a time by the McCarthy-era blacklist, has died. She was 104.
Hunt, who appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, died Wednesday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, said Roger Memos, the writer-director of the 2015 documentary "Marsha Hunt's Sweet Adversity."
A Chicago native, she arrived in Hollywood in 1935 and over the next 15 years appeared in dozens of films, from the Preston Sturges comedy "Easy Living" to the adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" that starred Olivier and Greer Garson.
She was well under 40 when MGM named her "Hollywood's Youngest Character Actress." And by the early 1950s, she was enough of a star to appear on the cover of Life magazine and seem set to thrive in the new medium of television when suddenly "the work dried up," she recalled in 1996.
Hunt protested the House Un-American Activities Committee
The reason, she learned from her agent, was that the communist-hunting Red Channels publication had revealed that she attended a peace conference in Stockholm and other supposedly suspicious gatherings. Alongside Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Danny Kaye, Hunt also went to Washington in 1947 to protest the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was conducting a witch hunt for communists in the film industry.
"I'd made 54 movies in my first 16 years in Hollywood," Hunt said in 1996. "In the last 45 years, I've made eight. That shows what a blacklist can do to a career."
Hunt concentrated on the theater, where the blacklist was not observed, until she began occasionally getting film work again in the late 1950s. She appeared in the touring companies of "The Cocktail Party," "The Lady's Not for Burning" and "The Tunnel of Love," and on Broadway in "The Devil's Disciple," "Legend of Sarah″ and "The Paisley Convertible."
Marcia Virginia Hunt (she changed the spelling of her first name later) was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City, daughter of a lawyer-insurance executive and a voice teacher. Slender and stylish, with a warm smile and large, expressive eyes, Hunt studied drama and worked as a model before making her film debut.
An early marriage to director Jerry Hopper ended in divorce. In 1948 she married film writer Robert Presnell Jr., and they had one daughter, who died soon after her premature birth. Her husband died in 1986.
Hunt's first movie was 1935′s "The Virginia Judge." She went on to play demure roles in a series of films for Paramount, including "The Accusing Finger" and "Come on Leathernecks," but, as she told The Associated Press in 2020, she was tired of "sweet young things" and begged for more substantial work.
She nearly landed a key role in 'Gone with the Wind'
Hollywood proved a painful education. In "Marsha Hunt's Sweet Adversity," she remembered almost getting the part of Melanie Wilkes in "Gone with the Wind," even being assured by producer David O. Selznick. Within days, Olivia de Havilland was announced as the actor who would play Melanie for the 1939 epic.
"That's the day I grew up," Hunt said in the documentary. "That's the day I knew I could never have my heart broken again by this profession of acting."
She left Paramount for MGM around the time of "Gone with the Wind" and had lead or supporting roles in "These Glamour Girls," "Flight Command" and "The Human Comedy" among other movies.
"MGM was sheer magic," she recalled in a 2007 Associated Press interview. "When I arrived at the studio for a one-day role, they parked my car. I went on the set and found a director's chair with a sign on it, 'Miss Hunt.' Another sign was on my dressing room.
"I said to myself, 'Any studio that treats a one-day player that way, really knows how to make pictures.' They won my loyalty."
Work unraveled quickly after she openly embraced liberal causes, such as joining the 1947 protest against congressional hearings on the reputed communist influence in Hollywood.
"I was never a communist or even interested in the communist cause," she declared in 1996. "I was a political innocent defending my industry."
With a couple of exceptions, such as producer Stanley Kramer's 1952 family comedy "The Happy Time," she was unseen on the big screen for most of the 1950s. She later appeared in many TV series, including "My Three Sons," "Matlock," "All in the Family" and "Murder, She Wrote."
She remained vigorous and elegant in old age. In 1993, she put out "The Way We Wore: Styles of the 1930s and '40s and Our World Since Then," a lavishly illustrated book of the fashions during her Hollywood heyday.
A lifelong political activist, Hunt had a brush with terror in 1962 when she took part in a forum on right-wing extremists and two other participants' homes were damaged by homemade bombs the very same evening.
"The ashen-faced actress said her home probably escaped the bomb attack only because the terrorists were unable to find out where she lived," the Los Angeles Times reported. Police were sent to guard her home.
More recently, she helped create a refuge for the homeless in Los Angeles' Sherman Oaks neighborhood, where she lived and was feted with the title honorary mayor.
Looking back on her activist years, Hunt remarked in 1996: "I never craved an identity as a figure of controversy. But having weathered it and found other interests in the meantime, I can look back with some philosophy."

The Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions will go head-to-head for their NFL regular season opener.
Kickoff for Eagles vs. Lions is set for 1p.m. ET on September 11 at Ford Field in the Motor City.
The Eagles will be hoping for a strong start to the season looking ahead to weathering the storm of a tough schedule later in the year and reaching double-digit wins in 2022. The Detroit Lions will have to handle fresh expectations in their second season under GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell, while still in the middle of a rebuild.
While the game will be available on local TV in areas around Detroit and Philadelphia, most fans will need to stream the game to get in on the action.
In the U.S. there is no single option available that will allow you to stream every game on any device you want, so you will need to look around for the best streaming options.
Where to stream Lions vs. Eagles in Detroit, Philadelphia, or anywhere
If this is an in-market game for you, most live TV streaming services will show this game, because they stream your local network affiliates. Here is a list of live TV streaming services, most of which have free trial options:
DIRECTTV STREAM — $69.99 a month
Vidgo's "Plus" plan – $59.95 a month
YouTube TV – $64.99 a month
FuboTV – $69.99 a month
Hulu with Live TV – $69.99 a month with ads, or $75.99 a month ad-free
If this game is out-of-market for you, you’ll probably need to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket, a premium service carried by DIRECTV, which will cost you $73.49 per month, after a free trial week. And no, you don’t get NFL Sunday Ticket for free, even if you sign up for DIRECTV STREAM.
How you can stream the Lions vs. Eagles NFL game in the UK
The popularity of the NFL continues to grow in the UK with games being played in London in recent years.
The good news for UK fans, watching NFL games will cost you a lot less than it would in the US. NFL Game pass has a number of options available to fans this side of the water.
The PRO subscription which will cost just £150.99 annually - or four instalments of £37.75 until 31 July 2023 will give you access to all 270+ games live, which may be bad news for your sleeping pattern.
Game Pass "Essential" tier, which costs £42.99 annually, will allow you to watch NFL Redzone live with on demand highlights of all games.

New PlayStation 5 "CFI-1200" Console Releases
Amidst news of price increases for the PlayStation 5 due to global inflation, Sony has now released a new model of its flagship gaming console in Australia. The new “CFI-1200” Sony PlayStation 5 being sold in Australia is identical to models currently available in terms of specifications and appearance, but interestingly weighs less.
The PS5 Has Been Upgraded Since Launch — Here's What's Different
Though it was released in November 2020, the PlayStation 5 is still incredibly hard for many players to find, leaving them paying ridiculous scalper prices, signing up for different retailers' premium subscriptions to get early access, or simply without the current generation console.

Sony has made changes to the SSD housing, the main cooling fan, and replaced the motherboard – to the extent that there is now a smaller heatsink and a new heatpipe inside the PS5.“It’s basically a full...

‘Real Girlfriends in Paris’ Cast Finds Love on Dating Apps – a Realistic Portrayal of How Gen Z Dates
Bravo ‘s Real Girlfriends in Paris cast has no problem finding love through a dating app.
In the latest episode, Victoria Zito gets a little jittery when she FaceTimes with new love interest Emmelle, a woman she met on a dating app. Zito admits she hadn’t spoken face to face with Emmelle but they messaged each other.
In an interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Adja Toure laughed about how online dating apps helped her line up her dates before arriving in Paris. “Not knowing the neighborhoods very well and not knowing where to look, I actually ended up reverting to a dating app,” she dished. “So fun little fact, about a month before I actually moved to Paris, I downloaded the passport version of a dating app and was swiping around like getting ready. So I was setting up my dates a month in advance because that’s how type-A I am.”
And while not all dates are found online, the twentysomething Real Girlfriends in Paris cast actually reflects how Gen Z is dating – and succeeding at making connections online.
‘Real Girlfriends in Paris’ cast are a good representation of Gen Z dating behaviors
According to a study by the online dating app Tinder , Gen Z used the dating app specifically to meet new or different people. The app acknowledged that the pandemic kicked online dating apps into high gear with this demo.
“Gen Z spent more time talking on Tinder, as 19% more messages were sent per day in Feb 2021, compared to Feb 2020,” according to the Tinder press release. “And conversations were 32% longer during the pandemic. Members also updated their bios more often to fuel conversation, with Gen Z updating their bios nearly 3x as often as they did pre-pandemic and still 2x as often as Millennials.”
Online dating connections are a mixed bag of success and fails
While online dating apps fueled connections during the pandemic, Tinder found that at least 40% of Gen Z users planned to continue using online dating apps post-pandemic. Real Girlfriends in Paris cast is representative of this behavior as about half of the cast seem to use a dating app in some capacity.
Kacey Margo prefers to strike a balance between in-person and online dating. She made an online connection with a professional handball player, Leo. “I met Leo on a dating app,” Margo explains in a confessional. “We matched in February. We went out for the first time on Halloween. But he’s so busy. Like he’s a whole professional athlete. I just hope Leo is fun off the court.”
The Real Girlfriends in Paris cast go to a handball game and plan to meet up with Leo and his friends after the game. But Leo is a no-show, which is a total letdown for Margo. “Flipping embarrassing dude,” she says in a confessional after receiving a text from Leo that he can’t meet them. “I feel like Parisian men and men, in general, don’t really take me seriously.”
Dating apps are the norm for Gen Z
Margo told Showbiz Cheat Sheet she has a better way to meet men. “You can find the really cute boys down by the river. Like a nice drinking day … like let’s go hang out!” she laughed during an interview.
But Margo and others view dating apps as just another avenue to make connections. TikToker Niki Patton offered her insight into online dating.
“I think it’s actually a really fun way to meet new people in general. Not necessarily people I’m romantically interested in,” she told Bustle . “I recently went to Hawaii with some friends, and we were like, ‘Let’s just go on Tinder and Bumble for fun.’ It’s just a game. I know that most people [my age] don’t take it so seriously.”
Real Girlfriends in Paris is on Monday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Bad news for the Steelers
Chuks did not practice on Thursday with a back injury. Per SI . Not a lot of news has come out on how limited he will be going into week one. This is a bad start to the season losing your starting right tackle. The Steelers lack credible depth on the offensive line in general. Chuks just signed a $30 million extension with the Steelers expected to be entrenched at the starter. If Chuks does miss any kind of time that would mean new addition Jesse Davis would be inserted as the starter. Davis was absolutely booed by fans and ran out of Miami where he signed with the Vikings. Well, he did not make it very far for them either. He was signed as an emergency option and depth, definitely not the starter. The already bad offensive line just got worse.

A man accused of participating in the prison murder of James “Whitey” Bulger said it was no secret the octogenarian crime boss would be showing up there.
“Everybody knew he was coming,” Sean McKinnon said in a jailhouse interview with NBC News.
The Boston gangster was found dead in the maximum security USP Hazelton federal prison on Oct. 30, 2018, just hours after he was transferred to the West Virginia lockup.
Bulger had been transferred to the facility after threatening a nurse at his previous jail in Florida.
The 89-year-old, wheelchair-bound mobster with heart troubles and high blood pressure was “badly beaten” by more than one inmate soon after his arrival.
Fotios “Freddy” Geas, 55, and Paul J. DeCologero, 48 — both of whom have links to organized crime — killed Bulger, while McKinnon acted as a lookout, prosecutors say.
McKinnon, who was originally locked up for stealing firearms and selling them for drugs, says he is an innocent man.
“I’m an innocent man caught up in the wrong stuff,” he told the network.

To start a business in your small business, you need to choose between two modalities: MEI and Simples Nacional.
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
A survey carried out by the Brazilian Institute of Quality and Productivity (IBQP) and by Sebrae, showed that Brazil recorded long-term growth in entrepreneurship.
To start a small business, it is necessary to choose between two modalities: Individual Microentrepreneur (MEI) and Simples Nacional. To do this, you need to know how each of them works.
Simple national
Simples Nacional is a tax regime, where micro and small companies can be classified, as long as they respect certain conditions.
The main condition is the revenue limit: the gross revenue to qualify for the regime is R$ 4.8 million per year for small companies, which corresponds to an average monthly revenue of R$ 400 thousand. Micro-enterprises can earn up to R$360,000 annually.
Through Simples Nacional, the company pays a single rate, which covers all taxes it must collect (both federal, state and municipal), which facilitates and reduces bureaucracy. To know the amount of the tax, it is necessary to use the Simples Nacional table and consult the gross revenue range of the last 12 months in which the company falls.
In this modality, the company has the obligation to show the government its bookkeeping, where all its financial transactions are presented over the established period.
MEI
The Individual Microentrepreneur (MEI) is an individual entrepreneur, who performs economic activity in his own name. Thus, it does not have a social contract and cannot have a partner either. To be a MEI, you must meet the following requirements:
- Have revenue limited to R$ 81 thousand per year;
- Not to participate as a partner, administrator or owner of another company;
- Hire a maximum of one employee;
- Exercise one of the economic activities allowed to MEI.
The MEI does not need to do bookkeeping, however, according to its activity, every MEI needs to pay a monthly contribution. Through this single monthly payment, the microentrepreneur contributes to Social Security, collects ICMS and ISS.
The MEI has access to social security benefits, such as retirement by age, maternity leave, sick pay, among others, in compliance with the grace periods. The contribution to the INSS is readjusted whenever there is an increase in the minimum wage.
MEI has the obligation to make the Annual Declaration of Invoicing of Simples Nacional (DASN – SIMEI), which takes place until May 31 and corresponds to the year of the previous year.

George Karl lost 19 of his first 21 games as an NBA coach. Tim Hardaway spent hours dribbling alone in an unfinished basement when it was too cold to go outside in his native Chicago. Theresa Grentz’s family lost all its belongings in a 1970 house fire, leaving her with only the yellow pajamas she was wearing at the time.
There were no signs that basketball immortality awaited any of them.
Now, they’re members of the most sought-after club in the game. Karl, Hardaway and Grentz are among 13 people who will be officially enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts on Saturday night — a group that largely was tied together by what they overcame on their way to a long list of accomplishments that include NCAA titles, NBA titles and Olympic gold medals.
“You learn from the adversity,” Grentz said Friday. “You don’t have to have everything perfect. You take what you have, make that work, make the most of what you have, not what you think you need. There we were, I had absolutely nothing, but yet tomorrow night – and I’m a nervous wreck about this – I’m going in the Hall of Fame.”
Karl was one of five people selected by the North American Committee, alongside West Virginia coach Bob Huggins, the late referee Hugh Evans and longtime NBA stars Manu Ginobili and Tim Hardaway.
Swin Cash, Marianne Stanley and Lindsay Whalen were selected by the women’s committee. Longtime coaches Del Harris and Larry Costello were picked by the contributor committee, while six-time All-Star Lou Hudson was chosen by the veterans committee. Grentz – who played for the legendary Immaculata program and guided Rutgers to the final AIAW title in 1982 – was chosen by the women’s veteran committee and FIBA Hall of Famer Radivoj Korac by the international committee.
Karl’s career as an NBA coach started in 1984 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, starting 0-9 and 2-19, but rallying that season to face Boston in the opening round of the playoffs. The Celtics won the series 3-1, and Karl remains of the belief that the Celtics got favorable whistles.
“They got all the calls,” Karl lamented.
Maybe so. But half a lifetime later, Karl got the Hall’s call.
Harris’ coaching career included him working with numerous Hall of Fame players – Rick Barry, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Yao Ming and Magic Johnson among them – along with some sure-fire future ones like Dirk Nowitzki.
“To think that still, somehow or another, I contributed to the game and not just played it or coached it, it’s more humbling to me than anything I would have ever thought about,” Harris said.
Hardaway was a finalist four other times for the Hall, never getting in. This year’s call from Hall of Fame President and CEO John Doleva was one he didn’t want to take, for fear that he was about to go 0-for-5.
“Shaking, sweating, lot of emotions going on,” Hardaway said of that moment. “Saw the Hall of Fame number come through my phone. Did not want to answer the phone because I didn’t want to take another rejection.”
He’ll never have to worry about that again.
Whalen, a four-time WNBA champion and now the coach at her alma mater Minnesota, said one of the first great teams she saw in person was the 2002 UConn Huskies – a team that featured Cash. And it wasn’t lost on Whalen that she is entering the Hall alongside Cash, Grentz and Stanley, who also played at Immaculata before embarking on a long coaching career.
“Myself and Theresa, Marianne, Swin, going in together, I think we represent a lot of what’s been great with women’s basketball over the years,” Whalen said. “And I think there’s young girls and women right now that are sitting there that are seeing us and that can become a realistic goal and dream for them if they work hard.”
Among the five presenters that Cash selected to be alongside her for Saturday’s ceremony is her UConn coach, Geno Auriemma.
Cash lauded Auriemma for his constant pursuit of nothing but excellence.
“You were trying to be the best and practices were always harder than a game,” said Cash, a two-time NCAA champion, three-time WNBA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and now part of the front office with the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans. “But that prepared you mentally to understand what you wanted to achieve. And every year, the bar was a national championship. With some people, the bar is a conference championship or `Hey, we made the tournament.’ Whereas, at Connecticut, we hang banners.”
Also now members of the Hall are three selections made by the Early African-American Pioneer Committee: Wyatt “Sonny” Boswell, Inman Jackson and Albert “Runt” Pullins – all of them, among other things, having been members of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Huggins – who, like Whalen, is also coaching at his alma mater – deflected credit for his 916 career wins as a college coach, 844 of those coming at the Division I level.
“Good players,” Huggins said. “I’ve been fortunate.”

Panicking Putin deploys 'most terrible weapon in world' to Ukraine as defeat looms
VLADIMIR Putin is set to deploy his terrifying heavy flamethrower in a desperate bid to halt Ukraine's rapid advance on the Kharkiv front.
Ukraine: Russian incendiary munitions rain over Donetsk region
The Kremlin has been rocked to its foundations after Ukraine launched a surprise counterattack in the northeast of the country. Kyiv's forces have smashed through Russian defensive lines in the Kharkiv region and are now threatening to cut off thousands of Putin's troops in the city of Izyum - a gateway to the Donbas. The Russian President and his commanders are facing an unprecedented military humiliation and are desperate to halt Kyiv's momentum.
Now it appears that the Russian tyrant is placing all his bets on the TOS-1A heavy flamethrower to help him save the day.
The TOS-1A is a thermobaric weapon which can cause devastating destruction and carnage.
This type of munitions releases a large cloud of flammable gas and causes massive explosions.
It is able to generate temperatures up to 3,000 degrees Celsius and can quite literally "vaporise human bodies".
Normally such a weapon is used to clear out buildings, bunkers and other fortifications.
Russian reports today say the flamethrower will lead to “guaranteed defeat of the enemy”.
Ukraine navy pulverises tranche of Russia military equipment in devastating overnight raid
Ukraine's navy has destroyed a range of Russian military equipment, according to reports. Russia’s most recent loss will come as a particular blow given reports of depleting stocks.
A source told ultra-loyalist news outlet RIA FAN: “These weapons are considered the most terrible, there are no analogues in any country in the world.
“The Americans even tried to ban it, but not because it really is a weapon of mass destruction, but because the Americans can't do anything like that.”
The destructive power of a TOS-1A was graphically highlighted in a 2011 edition of the US Army's World Equipment Guide.
It stated: "The primary ... effect [created by the TOS-1’ss rockets] is a long-duration high-pressure blast wave which creates a vacuum – then precipitates a reverse wave.
"These pressure/vacuum surges (up to 427 pounds per sq inch) cause a ripping effect on soft materials (such as airplane skin, radar surface, human lung tissue).

"Walls and surfaces within the affected area do not necessarily shield victims, rather cause multiple pressure waves, which amplify the tearing effects and can topple structures.”
It added: "A secondary effect is high-temperature heat — 2,500-3,000° C.
"An incomplete explosion renders a near-devastating effect, wide-area long-duration high-temperature flame.
"Even those outside of the blast area will be rendered ineffective with debilitating mental and physical trauma.”
It comes amid reports that Ukrainian forces have now captured the key cities of Izyum and Kupiansk.
The BBC says that a number of pro-Russian Telegram channels have claimed Ukrainian forces now control half of Kupiansk, while Ukrainian sources have told the outlet that Kupiansk has been “completely liberated”.

BBC Russia also reports that pro-Russian channels have said Russian troops have left Izyum.
Other channels reportedly said Ukrainian troops were already in the city’s centre.
The Russian military blogger "Moscow Calling" wrote on his Telegram channel: "Advanced units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine enter Kupyansk.
"The city was not destroyed by the work of artillery 'in squares', as happens during the assaults of the RF Armed Forces, and there was no assault as such - the Russian military fled without any panic, abandoning their equipment.
He added: "In the future, the qualitative superiority of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will lead to a radical change in the front lines, with the inevitable final - the defeat of the Russian Federation. It's just a matter of time."

Summary – Jack Lloyd on Consent, Trauma, & Voluntaryism
Jack Lloyd, a libertarian voluntaryist who’s been promoting the liberty message for over 15 years, speaks about his new book, The Definitive Guide to Libertarian Voluntaryism. He provides an introductory explanation to this and other terms including the anarcho-distinctives: anarcho-capitalism, anarcho-communism/socialism, and we he prefers the term libertarian voluntaryism. Like many libertarians Lloyd grounds his views in the libertarian principles and self-ownership and non-aggression, but seeks to add an additional layer in the voluntaryist element. Namely, answering the question of how we make manifest consent and account for what he calls, ethical apartheid?
Lloyd describes a more psychological understanding of how we got to this point with the state and civil governance. He identifies public schooling as a primary source of real, legitimate trauma in the lives of Americans which results in very real problems in our decision making processes as we become adults. This underlying problem, Lloyd believes, explains why it tends to take a psychological shock to “wake people up” to the reality of what is happening with government and society today. Lloyd insists that we can’t be “lukewarm” in our messaging. It’s either the hot and energizing or cool and refreshing messaging that motives people to rethink things and take action toward different goals.
In addition to these foundational principles, Lloyd touches on some other topics important to libertarians: animal rights, environmentalism, and children’s rights. While many of us have emotional attachments to our pets and other animals for any given number of reasons, Lloyd explains how an ethical system concerning human justice cannot meaningful translate to one upholding a category of animal rights. Certainly, this isn’t to say that animals should be treated poorly, but that it doesn’t fit into a framework of justice in consistent way. More broadly, problems arising from environmental concerns are best handled in terms of specifying particular property rights, rather than painting in broad strokes.
Lloyd also mentions children’s rights. As a former juvenile defense attorney and government school teacher, Lloyd has a passion for children and trauma, however unwittingly, they’re put through as children and the impact that has on their adulthood. He’s also sober-minded in approaching the relationship between parent’s and children’s rights being careful to adhere consistently with the libertarian principles of self-ownership, non-aggression, and taking into account their developing capacity to meaningful consent. This includes regarding children as self-owners in their own right, not chattel property, but that their parents have the highest claim of guardianship, not the state.
Finally, Lloyd doesn’t want to leave people hanging with the answer to “how we get there?” How do we achieve a voluntaryist form of civil governance? He briefly explains his idea of not-for-profit government and taxation is not the proper way to fund it.

LOS ANGELES – Ask veteran television executive Frank Cicha to recall the last time the daytime TV schedule has seen such turnover, and he has a ready answer: Never.
“Never,” he repeated. “There's been sort of signature tumultuous moments,” including Oprah Winfrey ending her 25-year run in 2011. But the “en masse” exit of shows and the relatively few new ones replacing them is unprecedented, he said.
What Cicha terms daytime's “re-rack” has created openings for “The Jennifer Hudson Show” and “Sherri,” with Sherri Shepherd, both debuting Monday, and “Karamo” with Karamo Brown of “Queer Eye” fame, starting Sept. 19.
They're joining a daytime lineup that includes continuing talk-variety series “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and “The Drew Barrymore Show”; “Tamron Hall" and ratings leaders “The View,” “Dr. Phil” and “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”
Gone from the picture are the long-running shows led by Ellen DeGeneres, Wendy Williams and Maury Povich. Others that have turned off the stage lights include “The Nick Cannon Show,” “Dr. Oz” and “The Real.”
Success with daytime's female-skewing audience isn't guaranteed no matter a contender's resume or fame, as illustrated by the short-lived runs of hosts including Queen Latifah, Megan Mullally and Harry Connick Jr.
“Talented people have tried to grace daytime, but if they don’t have an every-person appeal and they don’t interview people well" they wash out, said marketing analyst Stacey Lynn Schulman, founder and chief executive of Human Insight.
The producers behind Shepherd and Hudson's shows express confidence their respective hosts have the right touch.
Hudson, the “American Idol” alum who went on to award-winning screen, stage and music success, is “funny, authentic and genuine,” said executive producer Mary Connelly, who held that job with DeGeneres' show.
“What we've learned in our short time together is how much the audience loves Jennifer, and how much she loves the audience,” Connelly said. “We're going to have all the conventions of a talk show, but one of the things that will make the show stand out is her interactions with the audience.”
David Perler, executive producer and showrunner for “Sherri,” said Hudson's depth of talk-show experience, including her tenure as a co-host on “The View” and subbing for the health-challenged Williams, is a big advantage.
“It's so easy to work with somebody who has done this for many years and different incarnations,” Perler said. The new show is built around her desire to “make you feel better when you leave at the end of the hour than you did before."
“At the root of it, which is just who Sherri is, is always going to be the comedic element. She's funny. She loves to laugh, and she's still going out there and doing stand-up,” Perler said.
Brown, whose entry is from the production team behind “Maury” and “The Steve Wilkos Show,” has said he wants to ”connect with people from all walks of life” and plans to discuss issues including infidelity, race and parenting.
The new hosts, all of whom are Black, are expanding daytime TV's lagging diversity. But veteran TV journalist Hall waves off the idea that they can be lumped together.
“We are owed the respect to recognize what each of us bring to the table and how each of us are different. And I think that’s very important at this time where we are seeing a number of shows hosted by people who happen to be Black," she said. "We’re not all the same, and to make us all the same is unfair.”
There's an inevitable hodge-podge scheduling in syndicated TV because shows carried nationwide can have varying air times and stations. One way to get to an edge is to inherit the home of an established show — the case with Shepherd, whose distribution includes Williams' Fox-owned station slots.
DeGeneres' NBC-owned station turf is going primarily to Clarkson. That upgrade, coupled with the “kind of America's sweetheart” appeal she's demonstrated on her show, could give her an edge in the revamped landscape, Schulman suggested.
Clarkson's show is making a format tweak to give her more time to connect with guests, said Alex Duda, the show’s executive producer and showrunner. It will open its fourth season Monday with a fan-oriented celebration of the 20th anniversary of the singer's “American Idol” victory.
“We thought we would bring music to the masses, so we got this big box that is like a recording studio on wheels,” Duda said, and kicked off a road trip in New York where “anybody could come in and do a virtual duet with Kelly.”
Hudson's show will be joining Shepherd's on Fox-owned stations, a chance for the two to complement each other rather than compete in those markets.
“I love the idea of a total freshness and newness to syndication in our blocks,” said Cicha, executive vice president of programming for Fox Television Stations. “Some shows have stayed on for years because they could, not necessarily because they should.”

Latest update September 10th, 2022 12:59 AM
Sep 10, 2022 Features / Columnists, News, Ronald Sanders
By Sir Ronald Sanders
The announcement of the death of Elizabeth II, Sovereign Queen of several realms, including seven in the Caribbean, plunged the world into deep sadness.
She was not Queen in the far-flung countries in which millions of people now mourn her death, but every person, who shed a tear or felt a tightening in their throat, was painfully aware that a great figure has passed from our lives.
There will never be another like her.
She has been the longest reigning monarch in Britain and all of her realms that stretch from the Pacific to North America and the Caribbean. She also reigned longer than any other monarch in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
But, it is not only the fact of her longevity that caused the spontaneous outpouring of sadness and regret at her death; it was more so the quality of her reign.
She was dedicated to her duty and obligations and everyone, everywhere knew it. That commitment to executing her responsibilities, whatever personal strain it caused, was no better exemplified than when, just two days before her death and while she knew that her end was near, she received Liz Truss and appointed her as Britain’s 15th Prime Minister. Quite remarkably, she did so with a radiant smile on her face.
Every British Prime Minister, every Prime Minister of her realms valued their engagements with the Queen. She possessed a depth of wisdom, born from the breadth of her experience and knowledge.
The value, reposed in her by the leaders of her realms, was shared by Heads of State and Governments of Commonwealth countries. She became Head of the Commonwealth at the instant that she inherited the monarchy of Britain, thrust on her by her father’s death in 1952.
It is a role she has fulfilled for 70 of the modern Commonwealth’s 73 years. She had made a commitment to the Commonwealth on her 21st birthday when she declared: “If we all go forward together with an unwavering faith, a high courage, and a quiet heart, we shall be able to make of this ancient commonwealth, which we all love so dearly, an even grander thing – more free, more prosperous, more happy and a more powerful influence for good in the world”.
She lived-up to that declaration. Her devotion to the Commonwealth and its affairs, even to the point of defying the advice of British Prime Ministers in support of wider Commonwealth positions, is well known and greatly respected, especially in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa.
During her reign, she undertook more than 200 visits to Commonwealth countries and visited every country of the Commonwealth (with the exception of Cameroon, which joined in 1995, Rwanda which joined in 2009, and Togo and Gabon which joined this year) as well as making many repeat visits. She brought star quality to the Commonwealth and, by her association, gave it global recognition and regard.
The Headship of the Commonwealth has no functional role, but it is very doubtful that the modern Commonwealth would have survived had it not been for her personal stewardship. She was the glue that kept the group in existence, in her long reign. She made the Commonwealth a personal passion and advocated for it strongly.
In the Commonwealth Caribbean, several countries became Republics; among them Barbados, Dominica, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. Others, such as Jamaica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, have indicated that they too wish to become Republics. But, at all times, the governments and peoples of these nations expressed their continuing admiration and respect for Elizabeth II. Their wish to become Republics was no disrespect to her, or any diminution of their high regard for her worth. It was simply a practicality. There is as much widespread mourning and sense of loss in the Republics of the Commonwealth as there is in Britain.
No one who encountered the Queen would not have been touched by her humanity, and the sense of personal concern that she showed. I recall many personal instances – her worry that I might catch my death of cold when I turned up for a wreath laying ceremony at the Cenotaph in London without an overcoat on a cold and rainy November day; her insistence, at Windsor Castle that she show me a photograph of a beach in Antigua, the only beach on which she sun-bathed during her reign; and her warm welcome when I returned to London a second time as High Commissioner. Above all else was her interest in the country; her questions about the effects of Hurricanes and how people were coping.
Elizabeth II sat on a throne – a heavy weight on her small frame, but she was a colossal human being. Britain and the Commonwealth have lost a treasure that cannot be replaced.
It is right that we should all mourn her passing, and unashamedly shed a tear, joining her family in their deep loss, for it is our collective loss too.
However, she has left us a legacy of committed service that enriched all our lives, and an example of dedication to duty that we can never forget.
The Queen has died. We must preserve her glorious memory.

A man used his co-worker's TraceTogether token to gain access to malls as he had been vaccinated against Covid-19 in China and his own token did not reflect his vaccination status.
But when the accused stopped returning his co-worker's calls about the token, the co-worker reported him to the police.
Yang Fei, 27, then tried to bribe his co-worker with cigarettes and $100 in cash to flee to Malaysia so as to hamper investigations.
Yang, a Chinese national, was sentenced on Friday to four weeks' jail after he pleaded guilty to a charge of committing an act that has a tendency to obstruct the course of justice.
The court heard that Yang, now unemployed, came to Singapore on a work permit on Sept 24 last year and worked at semiconductor supplier Fuxiang Technology.
He was inoculated with the Sinovac vaccine before arriving here, but his TraceTogether token did not reflect his vaccination status. This was because he did not go to a healthcare provider to take a serology test and update his vaccination records in the National Immunisation Registry.
As a result, he was not allowed to enter premises where vaccination-differentiated safe management measures were in place.
On Dec 14 last year, Yang met his co-worker Wan Meng, a 19-year-old Chinese national.
They wanted to enter the shopping area of Marina Bay Sands, so Yang used Wan's TraceTogether token while Wan used the TraceTogether app on his phone.
On multiple occasions in December last year, Yang also used Wan's token to enter Hougang One mall to get his meals.
When Yang stopped returning his calls, Wan made a police report, saying that his co-worker had taken his token.
Yang was interviewed by the police on Dec 24. He was told he was being investigated for possible offences of cheating by personation.
Shortly after, Wan suggested to Yang that they both run away, and the duo met in Hougang.
There, Yang tried to bribe Wan with $100 in cash and a pack of cigarettes to escape to Malaysia.
Yang lamented that he had taken his passport to the police station for his interview and it had been impounded. He also said he "pretended to be pitiful" when his statement was recorded.
Wan refused to escape as he believed he had not broken the law. He said Yang was the one who had falsely used the TraceTogether token and "if anyone should run to Malaysia, it should be Yang".
Yang then foisted the money and cigarettes onto Wan and told him that if one of them was missing, investigations could not proceed. He also said that if the police found him again, he would tell them that he could not contact Wan.
But without Yang's knowledge, Wan had recorded their conversation on his phone and immediately went to the police station to report the matter.
On Jan 11, Yang lied to the police that the $100 was given as a loan. He added that he gave Wan the cigarettes as Wan needed to smoke.
He even claimed that his grandmother was ill and in critical condition in a hospital in Jiangsu.
In sentencing him, District Judge Lim Tse Haw said that though the harm intended by the accused did not materialise, it was not due to Yang withdrawing the offer but because Wan had refused to accept it.
Wan will be dealt with later.
For committing an act that has a tendency to obstruct the course of justice, an offender can be jailed for up to seven years and fined.

Economy faces major challenges - but careful stock picking can still reap rewards: Here's how to shuffle your portfolio to survive a harsh winter
There was a real 'back to school and back to business' feel in the air last week – until we learnt of the sad death of the Queen. While parents took pictures of uniformed offspring outside their front doors, the press took pictures of the most famous front door in the country as Liz Truss replaced Boris Johnson at No10.
Economists are now assessing how well the country will hold up as the temperature drops while many investment experts are positioning their portfolios for a change.
The new Prime Minister's plans to freeze energy prices have been widely welcomed, but they are expensive and, some fear, may not be enough.
Tough talk: The new Prime Minister's plans to freeze energy prices have been widely welcomed, but they are expensive and, some fear, may not be enough
Even with the 'big bazooka' initiative to address spiralling energy prices, the economy still faces real challenges over the next several months. According to Jason Hollands, a director of wealth manager Evelyn Partners, times will be tough for many households.
He says: 'There is still the possibility of a recession, though one less severe as a result of the energy package announced on Thursday. Interest rates will still rise from here, though maybe not to the 4.5 per cent level that some have suggested and the stock market had begun to factor in.'
With uncertainty in the air and more Government announcements likely to come, investors are wondering how to position their portfolios for a bumpy, and cold, few months.
The state of the nation's finances
The incumbent in Downing Street may have changed, but most of the issues impacting on the economy are the same. Energy costs remain high as does inflation, while the pound has slumped to a 37-year low against the surging dollar.
Russ Mould, investment director of investment platform AJ Bell, says that we should be looking at the performance of sterling and gilts when assessing the economic outlook, rather than the short-term vagaries of the stock market.
He says: 'Financial markets express their faith – or lack of it – in a country and its economic and political prospects through how much they charge it to borrow and how they value its currency. In each case traders and investors are already indicating that they do not like what they see – a falling pound and rising gilt yields.'
He says the 'odds are stacked against' Truss when it comes to changing this, with the Government juggling '40-year high inflation, the threat of a recession, an energy crisis, war in Ukraine, the weak pound, rising interest rates and the Government's own state of penury.'
...and The state of our own investments
With such a difficult outlook, investors might be wondering why they should stay in investments at all. Certainly the performance of the stock market over the last few months has not been encouraging. 'Even eternal investment optimists might be struggling to keep their chin up at the moment,' admits Dzmitry Lipski, head of funds research at wealth platform Interactive Investor.
The FTSE100 Index is down nearly four per cent this year so far and those who entered the current volatile environment with a portfolio of growth stocks – those in technology and other high-octane industries – will have had their fingers badly burnt.
Darius McDermott is managing director of investment funds specialist Chelsea Financial Services. He says there is 'no easy answer' in the current environment to the question of where investors should be investing their money. 'So much is determined by the outcome of the Ukraine war,' he adds.
Be defensive when picking stocks
Despite the difficulties, McDermott says 'there are still ways of generating positive returns during this period of uncertainty'.
Picking the right stocks could help to ensure your investment portfolio withstands a difficult winter – with most experts suggesting a defensive approach while Truss sets out her stall. Hollands says: 'In an environment of high inflation and stalled economic growth, markets typically favour businesses with strong balance sheets that are less sensitive to the general economic environment,' says Hollands. 'These include consumer staples – businesses that provide day-to-day stuff people can't live without; health care stocks; and those which have multi-year order books such as defence companies whose clients are governments.'
In particular, he likes consumer goods business Unilever, drugs group AstraZeneca and defence company BAE Systems.
McDermott agrees. He says consumer goods companies 'often tend to provide bear market protection' because regardless of how the overall economy is faring, 'families will continue to buy essential items such as food and toiletries'.
He also likes Unilever for its 'healthy cash flows, strong profit margin and steadily growing revenues'. Shares in Unilever are down 0.7 per cent this year, and are cheaper than many peers.
Rob Burgeman, of wealth manager Brewin Dolphin, is hopeful that business on the high street will pick up after Truss's energy package. He adds: 'Any tax cuts in the offing may see people buy more clothes, especially to help them layer up for the colder months ahead and avoid turning on their heating.' He favours shares in Marks & Spencer and Next.
Burgeman is also hopeful that Truss will focus on infrastructure spending – big capital projects such as road and rail building – to help stimulate the economy. If so, builders and construction groups such as CRH and Balfour Beatty could be among the main beneficiaries.
He also adds that those who believe a winter of discontent lies ahead could take comfort in buying the likes of insolvency practitioners Begbies Traynor and FRP Advisory. They will pick up the pieces if businesses fail. Coach operator National Express should benefit if rail strikes continue, forcing commuters to seek alternative travel arrangements.
Hollands says Truss's promise to shelve next year's planned corporation tax hikes may benefit smaller domestically focused companies. Businesses in the FTSE250, which is more domestically focused than the FTSE100, could benefit the most.
FTSE250 stocks such as M&S and Greggs rose after Truss's appointment in the expectation that her energy package will prompt more customers to spend more.
Investment funds for difficult times
Buying into diversified focused investment funds can be a safer way of getting investment exposure particularly when the future is unclear.
Chelsea's McDermott suggests Fidelity Global Dividend and Evenlode Global Income. The Fidelity fund is up 1.6 per cent over one year and up 18 per cent over three years while Evenlode Global Income is down 0.5 per cent over one year, up 18 per cent over three years.
McDermott also likes JPM US Equity Income which gives investors exposure to healthcare giant Pfizer. He says: 'Regardless of economic and market cycles, health care will be prioritised by society.
'Pfizer has impressive cashflow, revenue growth and should hold up well despite unfavourable market conditions.' The fund is up 18 per cent over the past year, and 40 per cent over three years.
Three investment trusts with exposure to FTSE250 stocks are Mercantile, JPMorgan Mid Cap and Schroder Mid Cap.
Investors in these funds have had a torrid time of late, but new entrants could pick up a bargain because their shares are undervalued. Over the past year, they have recorded respective losses of 34, 42 and 33 per cent.
James Carthew, at fund information group QuotedData, suggests now might be the time to buy into renewable energy funds.
Wind funds are already becoming more popular, with two new renewable energy funds entering the top ten list of most bought investment funds last month via platform Interactive Investor. They were the Renewables Infrastructure Group and Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure, joining Greencoat UK Wind that has been on the list for a while.
Shares in these companies have had a strong run, but even though the shares aren't cheap, Greencoat could be a good addition to a portfolio in the long term.
The last word...
However you choose to configure your investment portfolio for the winter ahead, it is worth remembering that although the future is hard to call at present, the key tenets of investing still stand.
That is, stay diversified, think long term, and do not turn paper losses into real losses by selling unless you have a good reason to do so.
Interactive Investor's Lipski says: 'History shows that stock markets do recover – so the current difficult environment is a reminder of the need for investor discipline and patience.'

What you need to create a beautiful fall dining space
When you are spending hot days enjoying the sunshine, it may not seem like fall is right around the corner. However, temperatures will drop and the leaves will start to turn before you know it.
Depending on where you live, the change in season means breaking out a new wardrobe and changing the decor around your house. If you like to decorate and enjoy a festive table, there are many ways to get your dining area fit for fall entertaining.
Ideas to consider when purchasing fall table decor
Fall details
While a centerpiece can make table decor pop, coasters, napkin holders, glasses and fall-themed dishes can help bring everything together.
A simple fruit bowl can be a great starting point for fall decor. Artificial apples, pumpkins or pinecones help create a seasonal atmosphere, and they are long-lasting, so you don’t have to worry about your centerpiece dying. If you’d like a floral centerpiece, fall flowers or fake baby’s breath can look great on any table.
Candles are a nice touch any time of year, and pumpkin-scented candles capture the spirit of the season. Flameless candles are a great choice if you don’t want an open flame, especially if you have pets or kids running around.
Holiday themes
For a simple fall theme, plan your decor around the fall holidays, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Halloween decor can be an especially fun choice if you have a house full of kids who will get into the spooky spirit of the season. Investing in Halloween decor that can be used year after year will help make decorating easy.
If you’d like to have a more minimalist scheme, consider sticking to solid colors when picking out tablecloths, plates and napkins. Choosing holiday colors, like black and orange, can create an understated, yet festive feel.
When November hits, Thanksgiving decorations become more popular. Choosing earthtone decorations in colors like brown, red and orange will capture the traditional Thanksgiving feel. These decorations fill the time between Halloween and Christmas, and they keep the house festive all season.
Accessorize the rest of your house
Once you get your table looking the way you want it, you can turn your attention to the rest of your house. Fall signs and wreath sets can liven up your wall or front door, while fall-themed pillows and blankets for the couch add flair to the rest of the house.

After William’s astonishing gesture of peace, Harry needs to co-operate to restore their relationship
IN death, the Queen appeared to do the impossible by bringing brothers William and Harry back together.
When they emerged from the same vehicle for a walkabout in Windsor, accompanied by their wives, a nation held its breath.
It was the most incredible reunion I have ever seen. The warring brothers appeared united in grief.
It would have been a huge comfort to the Queen who, at times, appeared to be the only thread tethering Harry to his family.
They have been thrust together and until the funeral the two boys will surely rub shoulders more than once.
There is no way William, Harry, Catherine or Meghan will allow anyone to see between the gaps they so carefully papered over yesterday.
It is quite possible that emotions will be running so high the brothers could become friends again.
One can imagine hugs all round, and lots of tears, as they decide to bury their differences for their grandmother.
How nice it would be to see Archie and Lilibet playing with their English cousins.
It may not be a fantasy, as grief does bring families together.
Most read in The Sun
And it might have been one of the Queen’s fervent last wishes that her family be reunited.
But King Charles will have no time to deal with spats between his sons.
It was William who invited the Sussexes to Windsor — a touching and generous gesture.
William knows his father needs all the support he can give and would so like to begin his reign without the family scandals and unpleasantness they have dealt with since that interview with Oprah Winfrey.
But Harry has to co-operate, too, if this is to work.
William has offered an olive branch. His father has offered an olive branch. It is now Harry’s turn.
In death there is life and in life there may be forgiveness.

LONDON (AP) — The Irish carrier Aer Lingus canceled all flights out of Dublin to European and U.K. destinations Saturday after a major computer networking incident knocked offline its check-in and boarding systems and website, the company said.
It said all outgoing flights from Dublin beginning at mid-afternoon were canceled, and a number of Dublin-bound flights from European destinations were also canceled. Flights from Portugal and Spain were delayed, it said.
An Aer Lingus spokesperson said later by email that connectivity had been restored by the impacted network provider — which they did not name — and the airline was getting IT services back online.
The spokesperson said the provider had identified the reason for the incident “and we are not treating it as a cyberware/ransomware attack at this time.” They did not elaborate.
In all, 51 flights were canceled, Aer Lingus said, adding that transatlantic flights operating out of Shannon Airport were not affected but that transatlantic service from Dublin operated with delays and reduced passenger numbers due to security restrictions related to the systems outage.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — An emotional Harrison Ford appeared along with a new trailer for the fifth Indiana Jones film, cast members from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" showed footage from their forthcoming sequel, and trailers and details were unveiled from the widening TV presence of the “Star Wars” galaxy on Saturday at the D23 Expo.
An arena-sized audience gave a standing ovation to Ford, co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and director James Mangold after the trailer was shown at a presentation from Disney divisions Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios at the festival at the Anaheim Convention Center, next door to Disneyland.
“Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us,” the usually stoic Ford said, choking up at times. “I’m very proud to say to say that this one is fantastic.”
He pointed to Waller-Bridge and said, “this is one of the reasons.”
The 80-year-old Ford suggested this would be his last time donning the hat and holding the whip of one of the two characters that made him famous.
“This is it," he said, as shouts of “no” came from the crowd. "I will not fall down for you again.”
The 37-year-old Waller-Bridge said Ford showed no signs of slowing down, saying “I had the time of my life making this movie,” and “keeping up with this guy is exhausting.”
The trailer shows Ford cracking that whip in front of a group of heavily armed henchmen with Waller-Bridge at his side.
The film, whose title has yet to be announced, is set for release on June 30, 2023. It also stars Mads Mikkelsen, Toby Jones and Antonio Banderas, and is the first in the franchise not directed by Steven Spielberg.
Angela Bassett and Winston Duke were among the cast members who presented part of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," which is set for release on Nov. 11.
The sequence shows a team trying to steal some of the nation of Wakanda's precious substance vibranium, and a Wakandan team beating them back.
It has not been clear how the film would deal with the death of the title star of the first film, Chadwick Boseman, who died of prostate cancer in 2020.
But the footage acknowledged that his character T'Challa had died, and suggests that his sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, might be the next Black Panther.
“We had to meet his level of excellence, and we did,” Bassett said.
Neither the “Indiana Jones” trailer nor the “Black Panther” footage were released outside of the convention hall.
Marvel also announced cast members of the forthcoming Phase 5 films from its cinematic universe, “Captain America: New World Order” and “Thunderbolts.”
Anthony Mackie will take up the familiar shield as Captain America in the movie slated for a May 2024 release, as he did at the end of the television series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and he'll be joined by Tim Blake Nelson as central villain the Leader. Danny Ramirez and Shira Haas will play heroes alongside Mackie.
Marvel's team of antiheroes “Thunderbolts" will include role reprisals from Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier and David Harbour as Red Guardian. Wyatt Russell and Julia Louis Dreyfus also appear in the film set to be released in July of 2024.
Pedro Pascal and the cast of “The Mandalorian” unveiled a trailer and new details for the series' third season and Diego Luna did the same for the forthcoming series “Andor" as Lucasfilm and the “Star Wars” galaxy deepens its television presence with no big screens in sight.
“You are a Mandalorian no more,” Pascal's title character is told in the trailer for the new season, a penalty for his having removed his helmet and showed his face.
The trailer shows the Mandalorian and his baby-Yoda sidekick Grogu zipping through space, and suggests an increased role for “Battlestar Galactica” star Katee Sackhoff and her character Bo-Katan Kryze, who first appeared in season two.
Carl Weathers and Giancarlo will both reprise their roles, and “Back to the Future” star Christopher Lloyd is joining the cast. The show is set to premiere in February.
In a different Lucasfilm galaxy, a trailer was unveiled for the forthcoming TV series “Willow,” based on the 1988 Ron Howard fantasy film. Christian Slater was announced as a cast member, and appeared live to talk about it.
“I love the fantasy, the sci-fi, just getting to be a part of this show was, I will be honest with you an absolute dream come true,” Slater said. “This was a very fun character.”
The character was described only as someone aiding in a quest who is a friend of Madmartigan, the rogue adventurer played by Val Kilmer in the film.
The trailer brings epic echoes of “Lord of the Rings," with original “Willow” actor Warwick Davis leading a group of teen adventurers in cloaks on a magical mission.
All the shows will stream on Disney+.
