KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia attacked power stations and other infrastructure Sunday, causing widespread outages across Ukraine as Kyiv’s forces pressed a swift counteroffensive that has driven Moscow's troops from swaths of territory it had occupied in the northeast.
The bombardment ignited a massive fire at a power station on Kharkiv's western outskirts and killed at least one person. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the “deliberate and cynical missile strikes” against civilian targets as acts of terrorism.
Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv appeared to be without power Sunday night. Cars drove through darkened streets, and the few pedestrians used flashlights or mobile phones to light their way.
Separately, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in the Russia-occupied south completely shut down in a bid to prevent a radiation disaster as fighting raged nearby.
Kyiv's action in recent days to reclaim Russia-occupied areas in the Kharkiv region forced Moscow to withdraw its troops to prevent them from being surrounded, leaving behind significant numbers of weapons and munitions in a hasty flight as the war marked its 200th day on Sunday.
Ukraine’s military chief, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyy, said its forces had recaptured about 3,000 square kilometers (1,160 square miles) since the counteroffensive began in early September. He said Ukrainian troops are only 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) from the Russian border.
One battalion shared a video of Ukrainian forces in front of a municipal building in Hoptivka, a village just over a mile from the border and about 19 kilometers (12 miles) north of Kharkiv.
Kharkiv Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said Ukrainian troops have reclaimed control of more than 40 settlements in the region.
In Sunday night’s missile attacks by Russia, the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions seemed to bear the brunt. Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Sumy had only partially lost power, Zelenskyy said.
Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov called the power outage “revenge by the Russian aggressor for the successes of our army at the front, in particular, in the Kharkiv region.”
Ukrainian officials said Russia hit Kharkiv TEC-5, the country’s second-biggest heat and power plant, and Zelenskyy posted video of the Kharkiv power plant on fire.
“Russian terrorists remain terrorists and attack critical infrastructure. No military facilities, only the goal of leaving people without light and heat,” he tweeted,
But Zelenskyy remained defiant despite the attacks. Addressing Russia, he added: “Do you still think you can intimidate, break us, force us to make concessions? ... Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst for us are not as scary and deadly as your `friendship and brotherhood.’ But history will put everything in place. And we will be with gas, lights, water and food … and WITHOUT you!”
Later in the evening some power had been restored in some regions. None of the outages were believed to be related to the shutdown of the reactors at the Zaporizhzhia plant.
While most attention focused on the counteroffensive, Ukraine's nuclear energy operator said the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, was reconnected to Ukraine’s electricity grid, allowing engineers to shut down its last operational reactor to safeguard it amid the fighting.
The plant, one of the 10 biggest atomic power stations in the world, has been occupied by Russian forces since the early days of the war. Ukraine and Russia have traded blame for shelling around it.
Since a Sept. 5 fire caused by shelling knocked the plant off transmission lines, the reactor was powering crucial safety equipment in so-called “island mode” — an unreliable regime that left the plant increasingly vulnerable to a potential nuclear accident.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog that has two experts at the site, welcomed the restoration of external power. But IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said he is “gravely concerned about the situation at the plant, which remains in danger as long as any shelling continues.”
He said talks have begun on establishing a safety and security zone around it.
In a call Sunday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, French President Emmanuel Macron urged the withdrawal of Russian troops and weaponry from the plant in line with IAEA recommendations.
The pullback of Moscow's forces in recent days marked the biggest battlefield success for Ukrainian forces since they thwarted a Russian attempt to seize Kyiv near the start of the war. The Kharkiv campaign seemed to take Moscow by surprise; it had relocated many of its troops from the region to the south in expectation of a counteroffensive there.
Yuriy Kochevenko, of the 95th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, tweeted a video from what appeared to be central Izyum. The city was considered an important command and supply hub for Russia’s northern front.
“Everything around is destroyed, but we will restore everything. Izyum was, is, and will be Ukraine,” Kochevenko said in his video, showing the empty central square and destroyed buildings.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian General Staff said Russian troops also had left several settlements in the Kherson region, in the southern part of the country, as Kyiv's forces pressed the counteroffensive. It did not identify the areas.
But an official with the Russian-backed administration in the city of Kherson, Kirill Stremousov, said on social media that the city north of the Crimean Peninsula was safe and asked everyone to stay calm.
The Russian Defense Ministry said Saturday the withdrawal from Izyum and other areas was intended to strengthen Moscow's forces in the neighboring Donetsk region to the south. The explanation was similar to how Russia justified pulling back from Kyiv earlier this year.
But Igor Strelkov, who led Russia-backed forces when the separatist conflict in the Donbas erupted in 2014, mocked the Russian Defense Ministry's explanation of the retreat, suggesting that handing over Russia's own territory near the border was a “contribution to a Ukrainian settlement.”
The retreat angered Russian military bloggers and nationalist commentators, who bemoaned it as a major defeat and urged the Kremlin to step up its war efforts. Many criticized Russian authorities for continuing with fireworks and other lavish festivities in Moscow that marked a city holiday on Saturday despite the debacle in Ukraine.
In Moscow, Putin attended the opening of a huge Ferris wheel in a park on Saturday, and inaugurated a new transport link and a sports arena. The action underscored the Kremlin's narrative that the war it calls a “special military operation" was going according to plan without affecting Russians' everyday lives.
Pro-Kremlin political analyst Sergei Markov criticized the Moscow festivities as a grave mistake.
“The fireworks in Moscow on a tragic day of Russia’s military defeat will have extremely serious political consequences,” Markov wrote on his messaging app channel. “Authorities mustn’t celebrate when people are mourning.”
In a sign of a potential rift in the Russian leadership, Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed head of Chechnya, said the retreat resulted from blunders by the Russian brass.
“They have made mistakes and I think they will draw the necessary conclusions,” Kadyrov said. “If they don’t make changes in the strategy of conducting the special military operation in the next day or two, I will be forced to contact the leadership of the Defense Ministry and the leadership of the country to explain the real situation on the ground."
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the head of NATO cautioned Friday the war would likely go on for months, urging the West to keep supporting Ukraine through what could be a difficult winter.
Ukraine’s battlefield gains would help as the Biden administration seeks continued financial support of the war effort from Congress and Western allies, said Daniel Fried, a former U.S. ambassador to Poland and now a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council in Washington.
“The Biden administration policy is evolving in a direction that is more and more justified,” Fried said.

The second suspect connected to a mass stabbing spree died shortly after being taken into police custody, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have confirmed.
In a press conference, the RCMP said that Myles Sanderson went into what was described as "medical distress" shortly after being detained earlier Wednesday afternoon. He was taken to a hospital in Saskatoon and pronounced dead, Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore told reporters. She said she could not provide further detail about his death, except to say that "all life-saving measures were taken."
There will be an investigation launched into the circumstances surrounding his death, Blackmore said, and an autopsy will be conducted later this week.
Along with his brother Damien, Myles Sanderson was a suspect in a series of stabbings that killed 10 people in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. His death comes two days after Damien Sanderson was found dead with wounds that did not appear to be self-inflicted, according to authorities.
Myles Sanderson was arrested after police received reports that a man matching his description had stolen a vehicle, Blackmore said, which culminated in a car chase. Police "directed" his vehicle into a ditch, she said.
The stabbings took place Sunday morning in 13 locations across the James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby village of Weldon. A motive has not yet been determined; police said they believe some of the victims were attacked at random, while others were singled out.
Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said that, before Sanderson's arrest, she had visited James Smith Cree Nation, where many told her they were still frightened by the prospect he might attack again.
"I hope that this brings them some closure in that they can rest easy tonight knowing that Myles Sanderson is no longer a threat to them," Blackmore said.
Before their deaths, the two Sanderson brothers had been charged with a total of four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder and two counts of breaking and entering a residence.

TRENTON, NJ — Acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin made a wealth of information about police agencies’ internal affairs investigations available online on Sept. 7 in a searchable dashboard capable of filtering data by law enforcement agency, the types of allegations involved, and what, if any, disciplinary action was taken. It is believed to be the most comprehensive compilation of statewide internal affairs information to be made accessible to the public by any state in the United States, according to the N.J. Attorney General’s Office.
The Office of Public Integrity & Accountability believes the dashboard will serve as a tool for both law enforcement and the public, revealing the prevalence of various accusations, where they are surfacing and how they are being dealt with by the internal affairs review process.
The dashboard, available at njoag.gov/iapp, represents an unprecedented and ambitious effort by the Attorney General’s Office to gather de-identified internal affairs information that had been scattered among hundreds of agencies — information that had not previously been collected in a uniform way, or shared with the public in a standardized format or central location.
“Fostering strong relationships between law enforcement and communities is essential to public safety. Transparency, fairness and mutual respect are foundational to building that essential trust,” Gov. Phil Murphy said. “Our state’s new dashboard testifies to the profound understanding of our law enforcement officers that such trust is forged by meaningful actions that reflect the crucial importance of this profession. Every effort to improve accountability among our esteemed law enforcement officers today will help better protect our community members tomorrow.”
“Today we take another step toward greater transparency and accountability in law enforcement through the release of our internal affairs dashboard,” Platkin said. “The Office of Justice Data aggregated a tremendous amount of information to give New Jerseyans insight into internal affairs cases that no other state provides. Now for the first time in state history, the public will be able to see, all in one location, the allegations and disciplinary action taken in internal affairs cases across New Jersey.”
“Not many agencies or states release this information,” OPIA Executive Director Tom Eicher said. “Bringing this data to light will enable the public to look with a broader lens to see if the internal affairs system is working the way it should be.”
Eicher said the Attorney General’s Office is committed to reviewing the data to identify any patterns that might raise concerns warranting further investigation.
“We are always looking at this data as a way to improve internal affairs policies, procedures and oversight,” Eicher said.
Among the features of the new dashboard is the ability to filter the data by active and closed investigations, as well as by county, agency, the complaint source, and the race of the officers and the complainants involved. The dashboard will also enable users to do side-by-side comparisons of two agencies, so the viewer can see if there is a significant disparity between the internal affairs complaints of two otherwise similar entities. The names of the officers involved are not listed.
“The New Jersey State Police is committed to transparency and accountability which helps build trust within the communities we serve,” said Col. Patrick J. Callahan, superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. “With this dashboard, the public will have additional insight into the internal investigations process that holds our troopers to the highest standards.”
New Jersey Fraternal Order of Police President Robert Fox and Executive Vice President Robert Gries said the FOP supports transparency in policing.
“We commend the Attorney General’s Office for supporting New Jersey law enforcement while establishing measures to ensure transparency for our citizens,” they said in a joint statement.
Bishop Jethro James Jr., president of the Newark-North Jersey Committee of Black Churchmen, said the dashboard “is a much-needed tool for all police departments and all communities. This tool will help identify the problem areas within police departments statewide. It will also identify issues dealing with racial profiling, excessive use of force and lack of sensitivity among all people.”
The numbers now listed on the dashboard show the internal affairs cases active in 2021. The Office of Justice Data will update the statistics on an annual basis as new information is submitted by police agencies around the state. Dashboard refinements are also being planned for 2022 that will enable a viewer to better understand how specific complaints are adjudicated, including whether an allegation started as one type of offense but was resolved as a lesser infraction.

Carlos Alcaraz showed glimpses of what promises to be a glittering career in tennis when he won the US Open crown as a 19-year-old on Sunday, September 11. The Spanish teenager defeated Casper Ruud in 4 sets in the final to cap off a stunning run with his maiden Grand Slam title in New York.
With the US Open triumph, Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest since Rafael Nadal in 2005 (French Open) to win a Grand Slam title and the youngest since Pete Sampras in 2005 to win a Grand Slam title in men's tennis.
It was a double delight for Alcaraz as the Spaniard also became the new No.1 in men's singles tennis. Alcaraz and Ruud not just battled for the US Open crown but also for the numero uno spot after it was confirmed that Daniil Medvedev would vacate the spot after failing to defend his US Open title. There was plenty at stake for the two young men in New York on Sunday but Alcaraz showcased composure beyond his years to achieve glory.
Alcaraz vs Ruud, US Open final Highlights
Alcaraz, playing only in his second full season on the tour, scripted history as he became the youngest World No. 1 in men's singles tennis. Since the start of the ATP rankings (in August 1973), no teenager had become the numero uno. Before Alcaraz, Lleyton Hewitt was the youngest World No. 1 in 2001 at 20 years and 9 months.
Alcaraz will be official No. 1 when the ATP rankings are updated on Monday
Youngest World No. 1 in @PepperstoneFX ATP Rankings@CarlosAlcaraz on Monday - 19@LleytonHewitt on 19 Nov. 2001 - 20 years, 9 months

Marat Safin on 20 Nov. 2000 - 20 years, 10 months@JohnMcEnroe on 3 Mar. 1980 - 21 years, 1 month@AndyRoddick on 3 Nov. 2003 - 21 years, 3 months
Alcaraz has certainly lived up to the hype in the 2022 season. While he had a stunning run on clay without being able to go the distance at the French Open, the Spaniard was shown the door early at Wimbledon 2022 by Jannik Sinner. However, Alcaraz battled back and avenged his defeat in London to the highly-rated Italian in a blockbuster quarter-final at US Open.
Alcaraz played as many as 3 five-setters en route to the semi-final, which also included the second longest match in the history of the US Open, saved a match point as he scripted a remarkable run in New York. In fact, Alcaraz became the first man since Stanislas Wawrinka in 2016 to win the US Open after saving a match point.
Alcaraz did not need five sets in the big final as he kept his composure even after failing to capitalise on a good start. Alcaraz won the opening set 6-4 but he allowed Casper Ruud to make a strong comeback and nearly go 2-1. Alcaraz needed a tie-breaker to go 2-1 up before he charged his way to a 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-3 victory in the final.

'Bloodied and naked' man, 36, is shot dead after rushing at police with a large knife
- 35-year old man who was naked and bloodied shot dead by police at Perth home
- He allegedly rushed at officers with a large knife and was fatally shot
- Police were responding to an apparent self-harm incident at the time
A man has been shot dead by police in suburban Perth after he allegedly rushed at officers with a large knife, naked and covered in his own blood.
Police were called to the 35-year-old man's Padbury home around 10pm on Sunday to assist paramedics after an apparent self-harm incident.
Superintendent Tony Flack said the man was bleeding profusely when officers arrived on scene.
'As they've approached the front door, a fairly large male - covered in his own blood, naked, brandishing a large knife - has run at them and unfortunately they've had to discharge their firearm,' Supt Flack said on Monday.
Supt Flack said he had viewed body-worn video footage and believed officers acted both quickly and professionally.
'I'm very proud of the way the officers handled themselves,' he said.
'They certainly prevented further injury.'
Detectives remained on scene on Monday and will interview the home's other residents as part of their investigation.

Canada’s technology industry says flaring tensions between China and Taiwan are reminding companies how important it is to seek a broader range of sources for semiconductors — and to invest in the sector.
Relations between the two Asian countries have become increasingly tense in recent months as China, in a show of power, carried out military drills around Taiwan, home to the world’s largest contract microchip maker.
If tensions persist and move beyond a drill, deliveries of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)’s semiconductors, known as chips, to big-name brands could slow or be halted. TSMC chips power a slew of electronics ranging from iPhones to Lockheed-Martin fighter jets.
“We are exposed, of course, as all countries in the world are exposed,” said Hamid Arabzadeh, chief executive of Ranovus, an Ottawa-based technology company.
Taiwan was responsible for 60 per cent of the global revenue in 2020 for the sector and TSMC held 53 per cent of the global foundry market in the third quarter of 2021, Taipei journalist Matthew Fulco wrote in a Macdonald-Laurier Institute publication released in January.
The article added the company, which dwarfs Samsung’s 15 per cent market share with 85 per cent of the market, is of particular importance because it has a “near monopoly” on the most advanced chips — 10 nanometres or smaller — and has mastered producing them with less energy.
Meanwhile, Canada has a lack of semiconductor foundries and building new ones rivalling TSMC’s capabilities would take so much capital and time, Arabzadeh said it’s almost inadvisable.
Keith Jackson, then-chair of the Semiconductor Industry Association in the U.S., said in Fortune magazine in 2020 that these facilities can cost up to $20 billion to build, nearly twice as expensive as a modern aircraft carrier.
Production is tedious. It can take three months to engrave and transform silicon wafers into semiconductors and the process can be upended by a disturbance as small as a speck of dust.
But there are some ways to offset the impacts of geopolitical tensions that could disrupt semiconductor deliveries without building more foundries in Canada, Arabzadeh said.
The top way is dual sourcing, where companies have multiple suppliers, so if one faces trouble, another can step in with product. However, switching from one source to another might require software changes.
“As soon as the situation with China happened, I’m sure all of the semiconductor consumer companies in Canada and anywhere else in the world started to redesign … to have chips that would be manufactured in all different parts of the world, not just in Taiwan,” said Arabzadeh.
The push for diversification has been happening over the last two years in part because of a global chip shortage prompted by COVID-19 shutdowns, soaring demand for electronics and increasing shipping costs.
The U.S. government has been at the forefront of the push with a multibillion-dollar wave of investment in chip factories because the country is worried it relies too heavily on Taiwan and other Asian suppliers for processor chips used in smartphones, medical devices and cars.
TSMC intends to build a plant in Arizona that is expected to open by 2024.
“A lot of companies have started looking at alternatives (to Asia), so you’ll see Samsung has been slowly getting more market share,” said Joe Deu-Ngoc, the co-founder of Toxon Technologies Inc. and Tincubate in Waterloo, Ont.
“TSMC is no longer the only game in town and a lot of companies are also looking at … setting up those foundries or factories outside of China and Taiwan.”
Canada hasn’t gone that far. However, it launched a $150 million fund in February to invest in the development and supply of semiconductors and gave $90 million to the National Research Council of Canada’s Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre, the only compound semiconductor foundry in North America that is publicly operated and open to all for use.
“Other countries have thrown in billions of dollars of investment,” said Melissa Chee, a member of Canada’s Semiconductor Council and president of the VentureLab tech hub in Ontario’s York Region.
“Those are orders of magnitude that Canada may not be ready to invest, but that certainly doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to play a strategic value and part of that supply chain going forward.”
Though she acknowledges the country currently has “limited opportunities” for mass chip manufacturing, she sees semiconductor design happening in Canada and more companies looking to onshore their operations.
It’s made her believe that the shortages of the last few years and ongoing geopolitical tensions are a chance to reshape the country’s chip processes, for the better.
“Where there’s disruption, there’s always an opportunity,” she said.
“This is a really Canadian moment… that is going to form the bedrock of part of Canada’s competitive advantage for the long term.”

When a musical has been savaged by the critics and abandoned by audiences, the gay-dominated sport of “flop-watching” becomes about the timing. Can you clear your calendar in time to score tickets before the theater marquee goes dark? Moreover, location comes into play. Given their short life span, flops have long been a delicacy enjoyed only by Gothamites and those with deep pockets for last-minute flights.
All of that changed on October 1, 2021, when the ephemeral met the ubiquitous with the Netflix release of Diana more than a month before it would face the critics’ poison pens and half-empty houses made up largely of jeering audience members. The streaming service inadvertently created a watershed moment. With 24-hour access by millions of subscribers, Diana became an eternal dud for the masses. The musical version of the life of “the people’s princess” became the people’s flop.
But so much happened before Diana. Queerty has compiled a list of some of our favorite flops from recent years — each one suitable for your bootleg video wish list or next YouTube deep dive.

Urban Cowboy
The advertising image of a chiseled shirtless Matt Cavenaugh proved to be the hottest part of this musical adaptation of the 1980 John Travolta blockbuster. But the skilled hand of director Lonny Price and performances by Sally Mayes and Jenn Colella failed to breathe life into an evening that proved to be more thrills-free than the anemic mechanical bull used on stage.
Cry-Baby
A prime example of a show that never should have failed, Cry Baby had all the right elements for a camp classic: irreverent sight gags, hilarious star turns, a zippy score by Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, and Rob Ashford’s cheeky choreography that included a line of hunky penitentiary chorus boys making license plates into tap shoes.

Glory Days
The road to Broadway is paved with good intentions. An out-of-town hit with a gay subplot that garnered a rave from the Washington Post, Glory Days was fast-tracked to open under the wire for awards season. But Broadway audiences sadly found the answer to the show’s quizzical advertising tagline “What if two 23-year-olds wrote a musical about 19-year-olds?” was to stay away. It closed on opening night.
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark
To its credit, when U2’s score was playing and actors were flying around the audience, Spider-Man was great fun. Unfortunately, that was only part of a show so ridiculous that early performances featured a production number with eight-legged spider ladies going shoe shopping. The show boasted 1,066 performances, numerous lawsuits, and a historic loss of approximately $60 million.
In My Life
The story of a sadistic gay angel writing an opera for God about a man with Tourette’s who develops brain cancer provided the perfect vehicle for the unforgettable lyric “I’ve just heard a rumor, someone’s got a tumor.” The only thing more unintentionally funny than the musical on stage was the author (and principal investor) wandering the aisles of the theater, shushing audience members in the middle of their laughing fits.
A bloody awful trio
Known for its famous “Wall of Flops,” the management of Broadway eatery Joe Allen was careful to curate three the showcards that adorn its northeast corner. It’s here that three highly successful pop composers all met their Waterloo with the vampire musical.
Dance of the Vampires
Fueled by a fun pop score by “Bat Out of Hell” composer Jim Steinman and inspired by an obscure Roman Polanski film, Dance of the Vampires was a hit in Europe. Broadway proved to be holy water and garlic for this undead tuner. The show looked cheap, its star, Michael Crawford looked uncomfortable, and the audience looked confused.
Dracula
Composer Frank Wildhorn got little love for his score for Dracula from critics who said that crowds would leave the theater humming the scenery. Luckily, audience members accustomed to the Jekyll & Hyde tunesmith’s signature brand of sweeping melodies left humming some really cool stagecraft and never-before-seen flying effects. The cast was great, including Kelli O’Hara, Melissa Errico, and Tom Hewitt in the title role. The show, unfortunately, was a snore.
Lestat
At the end of Act One, vampire mama Gabrielle (the Tony-nominated Carolee Carmello, who returns to Broadway this season in the all-female/nonbinary 1776) opened her clarion voice to belt out “Crimson Kiss” — inarguably the best song in Elton John’s otherwise forgettable score. Alas, it was too little too late. Of the musical adaptation of Anne Rice’s famously homoerotic Vampire Chronicles books, Washington Post critic Peter Marks aptly remarked “Lestat‘s contribution to art and equality is demonstrating that a gay vampire with a two-octave range can be just as dull as a straight one.”
It would be disingenuous — not to mention heartless — not to note that Broadway is a game of big stakes, and nobody ever starts the first day of rehearsal with the intention of public failure. But hey, flops happen. When someone slips on a banana peel, it’s hard not to laugh. Add in sequins and an orchestra, and it’s damn near impossible.

Tight end Irv Smith Jr. came off the bench and played sparingly during the Vikings' 23-7 victory over the Packers on Sunday.
Smith has been cleared to play following Aug. 2 thumb surgery, but he watched tight end Johnny Mundt start and catch three passes for 17 yards. Smith mixed in a few plays at a time, mostly on passing downs, and did not catch either of his two targets. He was not limited in practices and had no injury designation heading into the game.
"I missed a lot of camp," Smith said. "We didn't want to kind of rush me into things too much. Just wanted to get a feel and keep building on it."
Smith had a 3-yard catch overturned during an official's review in the second quarter. He saw few snaps and fewer passes while being eased back after surgery to repair ligament damage caused by blocking during a training camp practice.
Mundt, 27, got his fourth career start and first for the Vikings after coming over from the Rams on a two-year contract in free agency. For Smith, it was his first meaningful NFL game in more than 20 months after missing last season due to a knee injury.
"I felt great," Smith said. "It was just a lot of emotions built up to this, been a long time without playing. Couldn't have asked for a better win."
Cine sidelined; Booth exits
Rookie safety Lewis Cine, the 32nd overall pick, was held out because of a knee injury he aggravated last week. Cine was listed questionable heading into the game because of the contusion he first suffered in the Aug. 20 exhibition against the 49ers.
Cine was replaced on special teams by safety Myles Dorn, who was elevated from the practice squad and played on kickoff and kickoff return teams.
The Vikings still had six rookies — guard Ed Ingram, linebacker Brian Asamoah, cornerbacks Andrew Booth Jr. and Akayleb Evans, receiver Jalen Nailor and punter Ryan Wright — make NFL debuts. Booth (quad) exited in the second quarter and did not return.
Evans played on defense after Cameron Dantzler left in the third quarter due to cramps.
The Packers played without left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee), guard/tackle Elgton Jenkins (pectoral/knee) and receiver Allen Lazard (ankle). Green Bay also lost guard Jon Runyan, who was evaluated for a concussion in the third quarter, and linebacker Krys Barnes (ankle), cornerback Keisean Nixon (shoulder) and linebacker Quay Walker (shoulder).
'Not good enough'
Packers coach Matt LaFleur faulted his own play calling after the Green Bay offense was limited to seven points. LaFleur was asked whether he leaned on his backfield enough after Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon accounted for 37% of the offense's touches but 49% of their yardage production.
Jones and Dillon combined for 167 yards on 23 touches.
"Anytime Aaron Jones comes out of the game with eight touches, that's not good enough," LaFleur said. "And A.J. Dillon, what did he have 10 [carries] or so? That's not good enough."
Etc.
- Running back Dalvin Cook continued to see a heavy workload under head coach Kevin O'Connell, playing over 70% of the snaps and seeing 23 touches for 108 yards from scrimmage. Cook averaged 22 touches per game over the past three seasons under former coach Mike Zimmer.
- Linebacker Eric Kendricks' fourth-down deflection while covering Packers tight end Robert Tonyan near the end of Sunday's game was his 46th deflection since he was drafted in 2015. Kendricks is tied with the Rams' Bobby Wagner for most deflections by a linebacker in that span.
- Kicker Greg Joseph's 56-yard field goal in the third quarter marked his career longest and tied the franchise record for longest kick in a regular season game. The mark was previously reached by Blair Walsh (2012) and Paul Edinger (2005).
- Wright, the undrafted punter from Tulane, has pinned six of his last nine punts inside the 20-yard line in games against the Broncos and Packers since winning the job over Jordan Berry.
- Receiver Jalen Reagor debuted as the Vikings punt returner, shedding a tackler on his lone attempt for a 7-yard gain.

Nation observes 74th death anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
KARACHI -Pakistan was observing the 74th death anniversary of founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who died just 11 months after achieving an independent country for the Muslims of the Indian sub-continent. Jinnah dedicated his entire life to the struggle for a separate homeland for Muslims, but couldn’t see his dear country prosper and passed away. Meanwhile, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and acting Sindh governor Agha Siraj Durrani visited the Mazar-e-Quaid Mausoleum and laid floral wreaths on Jinnah’s tomb. They also recited fateha and penned their comments in the visitors’ book. “We are living in an independent country owing to Quaid-e-Azam’s leadership qualities. We all have to look after and beautify this country of Quaid,” he said, on the occasion. “It is our utmost responsibility to make this country a cradle of peace, a seat of learning, and a strong nation.” After laying a wreath, offering fateha and recording his impressions in the visitors’ book opened at Mazar-e-Quaid to observe the 74th death anniversary of the father of the nation, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. He was accompanied by his cabinet members, Saeed Ghani, Shahla Raza, Advisor Rasool Bux Chandio, and others. Shah said that he and acting Governor Sindh along with provincial cabinet members have visited Mazar to pay tribute to the father of the Nation. “We have won this country with his struggle; therefore, it becomes our responsibility to save, protect and prosper this nation,” he said. The CM, replying to a question about floods, said that the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres after visiting the flood-affected areas said he had never seen such a catastrophe. “More than 1.5 million people have been displaced, of them over 600,000 shifted to camps,” he said and added he requested the UN Secretary-General for the assistance of tents and medicines. Murad Shah said that he has released the budget allocated for the purchase of medicines so that flood-affected people facing different ailments could be treated properly. To a question, the CM said that standing crops worthRs50 billion have been washed away.
“I have discussed with the UN Secretary-General that we would have to offer an agricultural package, otherwise the grower would not be able to sow Rabi crops,” he said and added he was trying to dewater agricultural lands so that Rabi crops could be planted by the first week of December.
According to Shah his government is trying to prepare at least 75 percent of agricultural lands for the wheat crop. “We have lost our standing paddy and cotton crops in this Kharif and would not be able to afford to lose Rabi crops,” he said.
The chief minister, to another question, deplored that some indecent and inhuman statements were issued to the flood-affected people who have come to Karachi. “Karachi is part of the province, and we are making arrangements to shift them to the camps and will look after them,” he said and added they were in pain, and their dispossessions [in the flood] demand that each and every one of us, according to our status and position, should help them to rehabilitate.
Shah agreed with a question that K-Electric, Hesco, and Sepco have failed to deliver. “I am sorry to say that our power distribution companies, particularly the Hesco and
Sepco had no contingency plan to continue power supply at least to the pumping stations involved in pumping out rainwater from the towns and cities.
To a question, the chief minister said that the UN Secretary-General has personally witnessed the rain-induced floods devastation in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh and Baluchistan and the UN Session is due in which a climate-induced humanitarian crisis of epic proportions in Pakistan would be discussed. “I am sure the international community would help us to face the situation and rehabilitate the affected people,” he concluded.

Creeks and small streams were up Sunday morning thanks to an inch or more of rain in the Quad Cities.
Here’s a look at the totals from today:
And the same storm that brought us this rain is going to back up a little bit and give us another chance for rain Sunday night and Monday.
These totals should be lighter moving forward, with half an inch or less expected.
Sunshine is back Tuesday and beyond!

After averaging a paltry 19.2 points per game over the three seasons of Vic Fangio’s tenure, Denver’s offense needed a dramatic change in 2022 in order to contend in the high-powered AFC West. Enter quarterback Russell Wilson, who is expected to make the Broncos’ offense fun again. With a future Hall of Fame quarterback at the helm, in conjunction with coach Nathaniel Hackett’s new playbook, the Broncos should be more explosive than the Teddy Bridgewater, Drew Lock and Pat Shurmur combination of a year ago. The question now becomes: Will the Broncos have enough first-year offensive chemistry to outscore the rest of the AFC West?
Quarterback
Russell Wilson | 3
5-11, 215, 33, 11th season, Wisconsin/N.C. State
The renewed hopes of Broncos Country rest almost entirely on Russ’s confident shoulders. After coming to Denver in a blockbuster trade in March, Wilson has his teammates and fans amped for a second act similar to Peyton Manning’s. GM George Paton is betting on that, too.
Brett Rypien | 4
6-2, 202, 26, 4th season, Boise State
Rypien has been with the Broncos for three years after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State. He appeared in one game last year, throwing two passes, and won his one start against the Jets in 2020. He beat out Josh Johnson for the backup QB spot.
Running back
Javonte Williams | 33
5-10, 220, 22, 2nd season, North Carolina
Williams’ rookie season left Broncos fans wanting more after he rushed for 903 yards and led the league in missed tackles. He’ll be the Broncos’ featured back this season, and if he stays healthy, can surpass the 1,000-yard mark while complementing Wilson’s arm.
Melvin Gordon | 25
6-1, 215, 29, 8th season, Wisconsin
After splitting the load exactly 50/50 with Williams last year — each tailback got 203 carries — Gordon knows he’ll be the clear second option in 2022. The Broncos will need him on third down, and will inevitably need some throwback Flash touchdown runs to spark them.
Mike Boone | 26
5-10, 206, 27, 5th season, Clemson
A preseason quad injury derailed Boone’s first year in Denver when he finished with just four rushes for 35 yards and played only 39% of the special teams snaps. He’ll again see very few carries if Gordon and Williams remain healthy, but should contribute more on special teams.
Wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy | 10
6-1, 193, 23, 3rd season, Alabama
Jeudy’s rookie season was something to build on with 52 catches on 856 yards and two touchdowns, but instead he went in reverse in Year 2. A high ankle sprain limited him, and he finished with zero touchdowns. Expect a more explosive and dynamic Jeudy in 2022.
Tyrie Cleveland | 16
6-2, 205, 24, 3rd season, Florida
After playing about half the team’s special teams snaps over the past two seasons, Cleveland has shown progression as a wideout. That, along with his status as a core special teams player, enabled him to make the team despite missing all of August with a throat injury.
Wide receiver
Courtland Sutton | 14
6-4, 216, 26, 5th season, Southern Methodist
In coming back off an ACL tear last year, Sutton had 58 catches for 776 yards and two touchdowns. He’ll be option 1B alongside Jeudy, and Sutton should see his touchdown total spike with Wilson throwing him the ball in Hackett’s new offense.
Jalen Virgil | 17
6-1, 210, 24, Rookie, Appalachian State
Virgil became the team’s 18th undrafted rookie to make the initial 53-man over the last 19 seasons. A strong preseason (nine catches for 180 yards over three games) and his ability to contribute to special teams, perhaps as the backup returner, solidified Virgil’s case.
Wide receiver
KJ Hamler | 1
5-9, 178, 22, 3rd season, Penn State
After hamstring injuries limited him as a rookie, Hamler’s promising second season was derailed by an ACL tear in Week 3. Following surgery and a grueling offseason rehab, Hamler sat out some of the preseason as a precaution, but the Broncos expect him to break out.
Montrell Washington | 12
5-10, 170, 23, Rookie, Samford
The Broncos drafted Washington in the fifth round (No. 162 overall) after the FCS star caught the team’s attention during the draft process with dominating tape against Florida. He’ll be the team’s primary return man, but he’s also demonstrated the ability to make tough catches.
Tight end
Albert Okwuegbunam | 87
6-5, 258, 23, 3rd season, Missouri
With Noah Fant gone to Seattle as part of the Wilson trade, the time is now for Okwuegbunam, who had 33 catches for 330 yards and two TDs last year in his return from an ACL tear that ended his rookie season. The Broncos believe he can be a vertical and red zone threat.
Eric Saubert | 82
6-5, 253, 28, 6th season, Drake
The veteran presence in the tight end room, Saubert appeared in all 17 games in his first year with Denver in 2021, playing 27% of the offensive snaps and 74% of the special teams snaps. He will again be a core special teams player and he can do more than block on offense.
Eric Tomlinson | 87
6-6, 263, 30, 7th season, UTEP
Denver signed Tomlinson on a one-year deal, and he brings more veteran experience to the room alongside Eric Saubert. Tomlinson has played for the Jets, Patriots, Giants, Raiders and most recently the Ravens in ’21. He has 18 career catches for 201 yards and one TD.
Greg Dulcich | 80
6-4, 245, 22, Rookie, UCLA
Denver’s highest-drafted offensive player this year was selected at No. 80 overall. He missed much of the preseason with a hamstring injury, and begins the season on short-term IR. Once healthy, he’s expected to be a one-two punch alongside Okwuegbunam.
Andrew Beck | 83
6-3, 225, 26, 4th season, Texas
Versatile, athletic and physical, Beck profiles as a tight end/fullback hybrid. In 38 games across three seasons, he’s been mostly a blocker and core special teams player. He had nine catches for 90 yards and one TD in 2019, but no receptions since then.
Left tackle
Garett Bolles | 72
6-5, 300, 30, 6th season, Utah
After establishing himself with second-team All-Pro honors in 2020 that led to a four-year contract extension, Bolles was dependable in 14 games in 2021. He’ll be the anchor of the Broncos’ line again this year and, most importantly, the protector of Wilson’s blindside.
Calvin Anderson | 76
6-5, 300, 26, 4th season, Texas
He made two spot starts in 2020 and three in the same role last year for Bolles. Anderson’s proven to be a dependable backup swing tackle in his tenure with the Broncos, but has been unable to crack the starting lineup. He’ll be good insurance if Bolles gets injured.
Left guard
Dalton Risner | 66
6-5, 312, 27, 4th season, Kansas State
The Wiggins product has been a staple on the left side of the Broncos’ line since he was a rookie, and will again be counted on in 2022. He’s been durable, starting 47 of 49 possible games over three years, and his continued improvement could be a boon to the tailbacks.
Center
Lloyd Cushenberry | 79
6-3, 212, 24, 3rd season, Louisiana State
Cushenberry was one of two rookies in the NFL to play every snap in 2020, and then he followed that by playing 16 games last year, missing his first game due to COVID. He missed some of the preseason due to a knee injury, with Graham Glasgow snapping in his place.
Luke Wattenberg | 60
6-5, 300, 24, Rookie, Washington
The Broncos’ fifth-round pick (No. 171 overall) this year, Wattenberg parlayed a consistent camp into a spot on the initial roster. He provides interior depth on the line behind Cushenberry, and could also back up right guard or left guard if he’s needed there, too.
Right guard
Quinn Meinerz | 77
6-3, 320, 22, 2nd season, Wisconsin-Whitewater
The Broncos drafted Meinerz in the third round a year ago and he’s faced, and adjusted to, the steep learning curve of coming from Division III to the NFL. He played in 15 games last year, starting nine, and did enough to earn the starting job from an injured Glasgow.
Graham Glasgow | 61
6-6, 310, 29, 6th season, Michigan
Glasgow’s second season in Denver ended with a fractured ankle in Week 9, which gave way to Meinerz taking the starting job. The veteran restructured his deal (and took a pay cut) to re-up for another season in Denver; he’s the primary backup at all three interior spots.
Right tackle
Billy Turner | 57
6-5, 310, 30, 9th season, North Dakota State
The veteran who spent three years in Miami, Denver and Green Bay returned to the Broncos on a one-year deal. He missed training camp and most of the preseason recovering from a knee scope, but the Broncos hope he can bring stability to the revolving door at right tackle.
Cam Fleming | 73
6-6, 320, 29, 9th season, Stanford
Fleming was a two-time Super Bowl champion across four seasons in New England, where he appeared in 47 games with 20 starts. He also has experience with the Cowboys and Giants, and the veteran will be Turner’s primary backup after losing the preseason battle.
Kicker
Brandon McManus | 8
6-3, 201, 31, 9th year, Temple
Currently the longest-tenured Broncos player and the last remaining member from Super Bowl 50, McManus had an 83.8 field goal percentage last year (26-of-31). He’s the second-most accurate kicker in franchise history at 82.7%, behind Matt Prater’s 82.9%.

Nicolas Paulet and Annette Gonzalez Etxabarri have won the E.Leclerc Pont-l'Abbé Junior Pro La Torche pres. by Yelloh! Village La Plage today, claiming victory in the Finals against Kai Odriozola and Maelys Jouault held in two-to-three foot surf at the iconic La Torche point.
Stop No.3 on the 2022 World Surf League (WSL) European Junior Qualifying Series (JQS), the E.Leclerc Pont L'Abbé Junior Pro La Torche pres. by Yelloh! Village La Plage has been blessed with epic conditions on the weekend culminating with today's finals.
The fifth consecutive day of action resumed on a beautiful morning with the remains of the long period swell that blessed the event with epic conditions on Saturday. The women's Quarterfinals hit the lineup first and surfers alternated all the way to the Finals.
Men's Final: Odriozola Tries Again, Paulet Comes Through Big Time
The men's Final had a deja-vu taste for young Basque surfer Kai Odriozola who was already in the Final in La Torche last year, and on the other hand a brand new flavor for Nicolas Paulet who'd never made it past the Quarters up until today.
It was a tense matchup where the lead changed hands multiple times that eventually came down to a battle of the backup scores. Odriozola had the highest single-scoring ride of 8.67 against Paulet's 8.43, but the Frenchman found the better second wave of 7.33 and came out victorious for the first time on the junior tour.
"I'm super happy to win my first event the first time I make the Final," Paulet said. "We had really good waves for this whole event and I made it through some pretty big heats. I'm stoked I was able to show what I can do."
Hailing from Biarritz, 18 year-old Paulet had three Quarterfinal finishes to his name before today but never advanced in a two-surfer heat before his breakout win in Brittany. This result shot him up into 6th on the European rankings before the last stop of the season with a mathematical chance to claim one of the qualifying spots for the World Junior Championships.
"I came here early for the Open de France and won the junior division so it gave me plenty of confidence," Paulet added. "I love coming here, people are very friendly and I had an awesome support crew."
San Sebastian's Kai Odriozola made his third Final appearance today, having lost the previous two against fellow Basque surfer Adur Amatriain and was the favorite on paper to take the title in La Torche. The progressive 16 year-old put on a show all week but was missing just one more opportunity on a set wave to try to turn the heat and had to settle for another runner-up finish.
"I didn't start this season very well and I came here needing a big result," Odriozola admitted. "I made the Final here last year so I definitely like the place. I started well with the best wave of the heat but I struggled to find a good backup. Nicolas was ripping the whole event so I'm stoked for him. I look forward to the next one to try again, maybe I need a little bit more luck on my side and hopefully I can finally win one!"
Paulet and Odriozola had previously eliminated Kepa Housset-Ezponda and Francisco Ordonhas respectively in their Semifinal matchups.
Women's Final: Local Favorite Lights Crowds Up but the Title Stays in the Gonzalez Etxabarri Family
Local-favorite Maelys Jouault delighted the large crowds in La Torche by reaching the Final against last year's winner's sister Annette Gonzalez Etxabarri. It was a battle of experience vs youth, power vs speed that provided plenty of fireworks in the somewhat declining swell.
Both surfers put on an amazing performance, posting one score each above 9 points and a back up around 7. The final margin was minimal but eventually it was Gonzalez Etxabarri who edged out Jouault to take out her first win on the Junior QS.
The 15 year-old from the Basque Country avenged her sister Janire, the 2021 winner in La Torche who lost against Jouault in the first heat of the day. Annette Gonzalez Etxabarri has been slowly climbing up the ranks on the junior scene and posted a big statement win today as she eyes multiple seasons on the JQS. She will head to the last stop ranked 3rd on the regional standings.
"I'm very happy to win here today in La Torche, it was a pretty nervous day," Gonzalez Etxabarri said. "I know Maelys is a very good surfer and the waves were a bit soft but I managed to surf well. I loved coming here, it's very beautiful and somewhat similar to home. My sister and I have a friendly rivalry and I'm just getting started but hopefully I can win as much as she did, if not more."
Maelys Jouault's heartbreak loss today in front of her home crowds marks the third time this season the surfer from Northern Brittany placed runner-up after finals lost in Morocco and Lacanau. However she continues to show an impeccable run of form in 2022 and cemented her 2nd place in the rankings before the final event of the season.
"It's a really tough one to lose this one," Jouault reflected. "I'm still super happy with the way I surfed, especially in those smaller waves that are not my strong suit. It's my last year as a junior and I have one more opportunity so I'll give everything I have. We're on the road a lot and I'm usually on my own so it was awesome to come here and feel the support from everyone."
Gonzalez Etxabarri and Jouault had previously eliminated Sarah Leiceaga and Hina-Maria Conradi respectively in their Semifinal matchups.
With the completion of the E.Leclerc Pont L'Abbé Junior Pro La Torche pres. by Yelloh! Village La Plage, the race to the European Junior title continues, here are the current rankings:
European Men's JQS Top 5:
1 - Bitor Garitaonandia (ESP)
2 - Noa Dupouy (FRA)
3 - Markel Vizcarguenaga (ESP)
4 - Kai Odriozola (ESP)
5 - Yago Dominguez (EUK)
European Women's JQS Top 5:
1 - Janire Gonzalez Etxabarri (ESP)
2 - Maelys Jouault (FRA)
3 - Annette Gonzalez Etxabarri (EUK)
4 - Lucia Machado (CNY)
5 - Aelan Vaast (FRA)
Surfers will now have five weeks to prepare for the next and final event on the 2022-23 European Junior Qualifying Series, the Azores Junior Pro.
The E.Leclerc Pont L'Abbé Junior Pro La Torche pres. by Yelloh! Village La Plage is scheduled from September 7-11, 2022 at La Torche, Plomeur, Pays-Bigouden, Finistère - Bretagne / France.

Michael Mann has never been able to let go of the story that eventually became 1995’s Heat. Originally conceived as a TV show called L.A. Takedown, the story eventually morphed into the three-hour epic (and TNT weekend time-killing staple) Heat. But condensing a TV show into a film left plenty of straggling story points — plots that eventually found their way into prequel/sequel Heat 2. Written by Mann and Meg Gardiner, Heat 2 explores things like Chris Shiherlis’s eventual fate and the origins of Neil McCauley (Robert DeNiro)’s mantra, “Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.” If you’re sad the sequel to Heat is a book, don’t be. For one thing, Heat 2 may get adapted to the big screen (with Timothée Chalamet as Yung Pacino?). For another, the audiobook is a cinematic event in itself.
Heat 2 is read by Peter Giles, who is doing the damn thing. Giles reads the entire book in a gravely, Über-serious and Über-gruff rasp. Nineteen hours of “in a world …” trailer-style delivery. Or maybe even the Scream killer soundalike captions reader on TikTok. He grumbles the whole thing at a pitch that only trees can perceive it. It’s camp. It’s a perfect match for Mann’s ultraviolence and grim outlook on the cops-and-robbers game. To put it simply, at the drop of a hat, Heat 2’s narration will rock-and-roll. To listen to it yourself, check out the audiobook on most audiobook streamers, or from your local library through the Libby app.

Shanika Whiten has devoted over two decades to working for the Los Angeles Unified School District.
But recent soaring inflation, combined with the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, have put the 42-year-old special education assistant -- and countless teachers and school staff across the US -- under immense pressure as they struggle to keep a roof over their heads.
Whiten is among the lucky ones who have received help to secure affordable housing, but she feels for those who are not so fortunate.
"It's sad to live the way we are because of inflation," said Whiten. "And everything is going up except your paycheck. Your paycheck isn't going up so it's like, 'how am I going to continue to survive?'"
In a 2020 survey, the National Education Association found that 16% of educators are having trouble making rent or mortgage payments, up from 12% before the Covid-19 pandemic.
The association stresses the need for greater pay increases, in addition to more affordable housing options and other benefits.
The pandemic exacerbated educators' challenging working conditions, leaving school systems across the country struggling to retain teaching talent and forcing some to double as both employers and landlords.
Community steps up
Residents of one affluent suburb in California's Silicon Valley are answering their local school district's call for help by offering up empty rooms in their homes for rent.
In late August, the Milpitas Unified School District near San Jose sent out a notice asking members of the community to step up if they "have a room for rent at your home and would like to share the housing opportunity with our Milpitas Unified School District educators."
School officials told CNN that, as of Tuesday, 66 residents in the city of around 75,000 had offered rooms or spare homes to rent out to school staff.
The school district said it's lost seven teachers since the last school year "because of the cost of living in Santa Clara County and the (San Francisco) Bay Area." Those educators moved to more affordable communities, according to the school district.
It's a common burden felt by teachers and other school employees nationwide. On average, monthly rents in the US have nearly doubled in the past 10 years, rising from about $700 a month in 2012 to more than $1,300 in 2022. The cost of living has surged to roughly six times the rate it was a decade ago.
"There's been months where I would worry about 'am I going to be able to pay rent this month?''' Whiten said.
Three years ago her life changed drastically. Whiten was informed that her application to a then-new housing complex, Norwood Learning Village, was approved. The affordable housing development was a joint venture between the Los Angeles school district and TSA Housing.
"A lot of people, they almost feel in disbelief because of, not only the price that they're getting the unit for but the quality of the housing here," said Sam Chang, manager of Norwood Learning Village and the husband of a teacher.
Whiten, a single mom who has multiple sclerosis, now lives in a three-bedroom apartment with her two children. She pays about $1,300 a month, significantly less than the average of $3,000 per month for a similar sized apartment in the same area. Perhaps most rewarding for Whiten is that she's able to spend more time with family, as her commute to work dropped from two hours one way to just 25 minutes.
"Living where I am, paying what I pay ... it's a blessing, it's a blessing," Whiten said.
The demand for these affordable apartments is soaring. Norwood Learning Village has just 29 units in all, but Chang says nearly 600 people are on a waitlist hoping one opens up. More than half of them, he said, work for the Los Angeles school system.
"The need is really great," he said.
The Eagle County, Colorado, school district "plans to build a 37-unit housing project for educators, using a middle school as collateral for the loans," according to Colorado Public Radio.
Some teachers earn too much to qualify for help
On the paradise resort island of Maui, Hawaii, local legislators recently announced $15 million to be spent on dedicated teacher housing.
In pricey Silicon Valley, a local Catholic parish transformed a former convent, once used to house nuns, to house educators. "Rent is $1,000 a month (and includes) utilities ... a furnished bedroom and private bathroom, with communal living spaces including a kitchen and laundry room," according to local news outlets. Applicants reportedly need to interview with the church's pastor to be considered.
But in Los Angeles, one major challenge with the affordable housing initiative is that most full-time teachers earn too much to qualify. Los Angeles Unified School District teachers earn a starting salary of $56,107 a year. The state regulated cap to qualify for affordable housing at places like Norwood Learning Village is 60% of average household income in Los Angeles, or $50,040 a year.
It puts those teachers and slightly higher earners in a difficult middle ground, making too much to be eligible for affordable housing and not enough, many teachers argue, to cover comfortable, convenient housing.
Whiten said most who qualify are, like her, a teaching assistant. Or they work as a bus driver, cafeteria worker, or part of the janitorial staff. She fears teachers are unfairly priced out.
"The cost of living is so expensive out there, even on a teacher's salary, if they're single like I am, they're not going to be able to afford to live here," she said.

EU eyes individual debt reduction paths for EU countries
By Jan Strupczewski and Jason Hovet
PRAGUE, Sept 10 (Reuters) - The European Commission will present in the second half of October proposed changes to European Union fiscal rules that are likely to offer countries individual debt reduction paths, Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said on Saturday.
At a news conference after EU finance ministers held talks in Prague, Dombrovskis said the main goal of the rules, designed to safeguard the value of the euro, would remain making sure public debt was sustainable.
"This will require fiscal adjustment, reforms as well as investments," Dombrovskis said, signalling government investment was likely get some more attention in the course of the reform.
"Those three elements should all be combined so as to achieve a realistic, gradual and sustained reduction in public debt ratios," he said.
EU rules say public debt must be below 60% of gross domestic product (GDP) and government deficits below 3% of GDP.
But the pandemic left many countries with debt well above 100% of GDP, with Greece at around 185% and Italy around 150%. On the other hand, Estonia has a debt of only 18.1%, Luxembourg 24.4% and Lithuania 44.3%.
"Given divergent debt levels across Member States, there cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach," Dombrovskis said. "There can be more leeway for Member States, but within a common set of rules," he said.
This would be a departure from the current rule that all countries have to cut their debt every year by one twentieth of the excess above 60% of GDP - a requirement that is far too ambitious for the high debt countries.
"Rules have to be clear, and they have to be enforceable, that means they have to be realistic," Czech Finance Minister Zbynek Stanjura, who hosted the meeting, said. "So whatever changes we make, we have to work out what is realistic."
In a nod towards Germany and some northern EU countries, the Commission will propose stronger enforcement of the rules in cases of non-compliance, Dombrovskis said, as past practice showed adhering to the rules was not a priority for some.
The Commission will also propose simplifying the rules by focusing on a single observable indicator, such as the expenditure benchmark, Dombrovskis said.
The expenditure benchmark is a rule that allows governments to increase spending each year by the rate of the economy's potential growth - the rate at which an economy grows without generating excess inflation.
This way, when the economy is growing faster than potential and overheating, the lower spending helps to cool it. When the economy is growing below potential, the higher government spending helps it catch up.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Europe’s largest nuclear plant has been reconnected to Ukraine’s electricity grid, allowing engineers to shut down its last operational reactor in an attempt to avoid a radiation disaster as fighting rages in the area.
The six-reactor Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant lost its outside source of power a week ago after all its power lines were disconnected because of shelling. It was operating in “island mode” for several days, generating electricity for crucial cooling systems from its only remaining operational reactor.
That’s considered an unstable way of operating a nuclear plant, which could lead to damage to key equipment including turbines and pumps.
Nuclear operator Energoatom said one of the power lines was restored “to its operational capacity” late Saturday, making it possible to run the plant’s safety and other systems on electricity from the power system of Ukraine.
“Therefore, a decision was made to shut down power unit No. 6 and transfer it to the safest state – cold shutdown,” the company said Sunday in a statement.
Energoatom said the risk remains high that outside power is cut again, in which case the plant would have to fire up emergency diesel generators to keep the reactors cool and prevent a nuclear meltdown. The company’s chief told The Associated Press on Thursday that the plant only has diesel fuel for 10 days.
The plant, one of the 10 biggest atomic power stations in the world, has been occupied by Russian forces since early in the war, which marked its 200th day on Sunday. Ukraine and Russia have blamed each other for shelling around the plant that has damaged the power lines connecting it to the grid.
Energoatom renewed its appeal for Russian forces to leave the Zaporizhzhia plant and allow for the creation of a “demilitarized zone” around it.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog that has two experts at the plant, confirmed that external power has been restored there.
However, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said he remains “gravely concerned about the situation at the plant, which remains in danger as long as any shelling continues.”
He added that “consultations have begun on the urgent need to establish a nuclear safety and security protection zone” at the plant.
The IAEA said it would take 30 hours to bring the sixth reactor to a “cold shutdown state,” but it will still require electricity for its safety systems after that. The agency said work is under way to restore other power lines at the plant, which remains occupied by Russian forces but run by Ukrainian engineers.
Also on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw his troops and weapons from the plant and ensure its safety and security in line with IAEA recommendations.
Macron reminded Putin in a phone conversation that the “Russian occupation of the nuclear plant was the cause for concern over its integrity,” according to a statement from the French presidency.

A popular country pub and restaurant has shut suddenly leaving customers shocked. The Wheatsheaf, in Oulton, on the outskirts of Stone has been firm favourite with villagers and customers prepared to travel.
It scores an impressive 4.8 on Google reviews making it one the top-rated in the whole county.
But the owners have announced it has closed with immediate effect. In a heartbreaking Facebook post, the Kibblestone Road venue blamed the decision on a 'difficult time' post-pandemic as costs continue to rise.
The post reads: "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have to write this post. Unfortunately, like a lot of people in many industries and small businesses, we have had a very difficult time of recent and despite our best efforts, yesterday [we] took the very sad and extremely difficult decision to cease trading and close the restaurant.

"We understand this leaves many people now with finding alternative arrangements but please accept our sincere apologies and that if there was any other solution we would have made it happen. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers who have supported us over the years, many of whom have also become friends.
"Everyone will be truly missed. Claire, Jase and our amazing team."
Neighbour, Julie Shaw, 61, was a regular rat The Wheatsheaf. Julie said: "It's a huge loss to the village because it's been a pivotal part of it for the past five years or so. People come from all over because the standard of food was so high.
"The restaurant was always run with humour and heart. Claire and Jason were incredibly warm and friendly.
"It's come as a shock. I didn't see it coming but it's such difficult times - there will be a lot more well-run businesses that will drown in these difficult economic circumstances.
"It's not for want of support. During the pandemic they were fantastic - doing takeaways. It was a lovely bit of normality to be able to get a Sunday roast."

Amalapuram: Konaseema officials alert over lumpy skin virus
- This virus will transmit by blood-feeding insects, like mosquitos
- Deputy Director informed that so far, 25,000 vaccinations have been administered to white cattle
Amalapuram(Dr BR Ambedkar Konaseema District): Lumpy skin disease among cows has put Dr BR Ambedkar Konaseema district administration on high alert. According to Animal Husbandry department officials, lumpy skin disease is a viral disease that affects white cattle and is transmitted by blood-feeding insects, such as flies and mosquitoes or ticks. It causes fever and nodules on the skin and can lead to the death of the cattle.
Lumpy skin disease has spread to cows in Andhra Pradesh two years after it was first noticed in Odisha. The infection, which is accompanied by severe debilitating symptoms, transmits only among cows. The infected cows spread the disease to at least two other bovines, has become a major threat for white cattle and buffaloes in States over the last few years.
This year, the disease has been reported from Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Kakinada and other districts in Andhra Pradesh.
Animal Husbandry Deputy Director A Chandrapaul told 'The Hans India' that after infected, the cattle develop skin nodules are associated with fever, eventually resulting in reduced milk yield. He said that the cow initially suffers from fever and later water will come from eyes and nose. Round bubbles will appear on the skin and at a later stage the cow can't walk freely and suffers from leg pains. The legs will become bent like a person suffering from fluoride disease.
The Deputy Director clarified that there is no danger to humans in eating meat or using milk of animals that do not have the symptoms of the virus. Animals can be cured of lumpy skin virus, he added.
Stating that there are 75,000 white cattle in the district, he said that there is no report regarding this disease in Konaseema district. But they are vaccinating cows to reduce the spread and so far, 25,000 vaccinations have been administered to white cattle, he added.
Chandrapaul informed that the disease has been prevalent in north coastal Andhra Pradesh and other States. He requested cattle owners to contact local veterinary hospital in the district immediately if they found symptoms.
Animal Husbandry officials should take care of the cows by administering available drugs for fevers and others, he added.

WAVERLY, Ohio (AP) — Opening statements were planned Monday for the first trial in the case of eight members of a single Ohio family shot to death more than six years ago.
Defendant George Wagner IV was charged in Pike County Court in the 2016 slayings of the Rhoden family near Piketon in southern Ohio. Wagner, 30, faces the death penalty if convicted. A 12-person jury with six alternates was selected last week in county court in Waverly, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) south of Columbus.
Authorities say the shootings of seven adults and a teenage boy stemmed from a dispute over custody of a child that George Wagner's brother, Jake Wagner, had with Hanna Rhoden, one of the victims. George Wagner’s parents and brother were also charged. The Wagners spent months planning the killings motivated by the custody dispute, prosecutors say.
Jake Wagner pleaded guilty last year in the shootings, admitting to killing five of the victims. His plea was part of a deal with prosecutors that spared him from being sentenced to death. Wagner's mother, Angela Wagner, also pleaded guilty to helping plan the slayings. Jake and George's father, George “Billy” Wagner III, has pleaded not guilty.

CHICAGO (AP) — Thairo Estrada homered in the seventh, Wilmer Flores connected in the eighth and the San Francisco Giants held on to beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 on Sunday night.
The Giants kept the Cubs' offense in check while using six pitchers on a bullpen day, though Zach McKinstry had four hits for the Cubs, who have dropped 15 of 21.
Estrada, Evan Longoria and Austin Dean had two hits each for the Giants, who had lost five of six.
Flores hit a two-run shot off Hayden Wesneski (1-1) after Lewis Brinson walked for his 18th homer of the season, matching a career high and snapping an 0-for-19 skid.
Estrada led off the seventh with his 13th of the season. The homer ended Wesneski’s streak of six scoreless innings to begin his major league career.
Seiya Suzuki homered off Scott Alexander in the eighth to pull the Cubs within 4-2.
Left-handed starter Wade Miley gave up a run and four hits, struck out five and walked one in five innings for the Cubs. It was his second outing after missing three months with a shoulder injury.
Zack Littell (3-3) threw 1 2/3 shutout innings to earn the victory. Camilo Doval worked around a hit batter and a triple in the ninth, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings for his 22nd save.
John Brebbia allowed a hit in a scoreless first inning as the Giants opener. San Francisco relied on its bullpen to fill in for Alex Wood, who went on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder injury on Sept. 3.
J.D. Davis doubled off Miley and scored on Estrada’s two-out single for a 1-0 Giants lead in the fourth.
The Cubs tied it in the fifth. McKinstry doubled off Yunior Marte and scored when Rafael Ortega singled and advanced on right fielder Luis González’s fielding error. Ortega moved to third on a wild pitch but was stranded.
SOGGY NO MORE
No rain fell during the game, which started a few hours after the Chicago Bears beat the San Francisco 49ers 19-10 at a rain-soaked Soldier Field.
LIGHTER MOMENT
Cubs DH Franmil Reyes was shown on the ESPN broadcast singing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” in the dugout.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Giants: C Austin Wynns was available off the bench for the second straight game after he was struck in the head by a Drew Smyly pitch on Friday.
Cubs: SS Nico Hoerner (right tricep tightness) exited after the fifth inning. … 2B Nick Madrigal (right groin strain) said he hopes to return before season’s end but knows he has to be smart about the injury. He went on the 10-day IL Saturday. Madrigal said he plans to make “major changes” after dealing with injuries the last two seasons. “If it’s not feeling right, I’m probably not going to get in there,” he said. “So I’d love to, but we’re going to have to see how it goes.”
UP NEXT
Giants: RHP Alex Cobb (5-6, 3.68 ERA) will start Monday to begin a homestand against the Atlanta Braves and RHP Spencer Strider (10-4, 2.69).
Cubs: RHP Javier Assad (0-1, 2.93) is scheduled to start Monday at New York. RHP Chris Bassitt (13-7, 3.24) is slated for the Mets.

Chinese actor Evan Li detained on suspicion of soliciting prostitutes -CCTV
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
BEIJING, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Chinese actor Li Yifeng, who played former Communist Party leader Mao Zedong in a 2021 movie, was detained recently by Beijing police on suspicion of soliciting prostitutes, China's state broadcaster CCTV reported on Sunday.
CCTV said it was citing a Beijing police statement on the agency's Weibo social media account on Sunday that it recently detained an actor with the surname Li for multiple instances of soliciting prostitutes. CCTV said it confirmed the person is Li Yifeng.
The 35-year-old actor, who is also known as Evan Li, launched his career after taking part in a national television song contest in 2007 and later moved into acting.

Reuters was unable to reach Li for comment through his Weibo account and efforts to contact him through his studio's WeChat account were not successful.
Several brands, including Italian luxury firm Prada (1913.F), cut ties with Li immediately after the CCTV report, according to posts on their social media accounts.
Prada said on its Weibo account on Sunday that it had "ended all cooperation" with Li, without saying what prompted the move.
Other brands to cut ties with the actor included Haleon-owned (HLN.L) toothpaste brand Sensodyne and Mengniu-owned (2319.HK) milk drink Zhenguoli, according to their social media posts.
Li last year appeared in a public service announcement video to promote national security.
However, Beijing has been targeting Chinese celebrities over any alleged misbehaviour, concerned by their growing influence, especially over minors, and to curtail what the government calls the potential for social disorder. read more

CINCINNATI — Anyway you look at Sunday’s 23-20 overtime loss to the AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers, it was a gut-punching loss filled with second-guessing and regret.
The regret was easy. That happens when you commit four first-half turnovers and five for the game and gift the opponent 10 of their 23 points.
Joe Burrow looked like the quarterback that didn’t take a snap the entire preseason and was off his timing on throws in the first half, like safety Minkah Fitzpatrick’s pick-6 from 31 yards out on Cincinnati’s second offensive snap of the season.
The offensive line looked like a group that had never played a regular season game together. There were missed assignments and missed blocks that led to seven more sacks of the quarterback who was supposed to see immediate improvement in his protection.
The second-guessing?
Well, when your long-snapper goes out with an injured right biceps midway through, and you have a back-up who normally plays tight end you should count on things not going as smoothly. They didn’t. Fitzpatrick came through and blocked the extra point that would’ve won the game for Cincinnati, 21-20 after Burrow fired a six-yard dart to Chase for the game-tying TD with two seconds left.
The snap wasn’t as clean as the Bengals have come to expect, and that’s not to blame Wilcox. That’s just reflective of why Clark Harris is considered so good at his job. Should the Bengals, with the game tied, just tried a two-pointer to win it?
In overtime, the Bengals had a chance to win the game but Wilcox snapped high on a 29-yard attempt by Evan McPherson. The laces were what McPherson kicked in pulling it wide left.
If you’re looking for another positive from the Bengals, there was complete and sincere ownership. McPherson wasn’t about to blame the laces in or a high snap as a reason for pulling the ball wide left.
“You always hate when a teammate goes down, especially when it’s a valuable member of your team like Clark,” McPherson said. “But honestly, I had full trust in Wilcox. There was no reason to miss anything. I put everything on me. I’ll grow from it, learn from it and move on.”
“We put up a fight and I want to be around guys like that,” Chase said. “I want to be around guys like that. We did a good job today fighting and other than the mental errors, the turnovers, we’re going to clean that up and be back on track.”
Could the Bengals have not kicked on third down and just decided keep the ball in Burrow’s hands and go in for the touchdown? Should they have? Should Kevin Huber have just downed the ball and tried again on fourth down on the high snap? Easy to say yes to all of those after the fact.
Should the Bengals have run 13 more seconds off the clock on their final punt of overtime before Pittsburgh’s game-winning drive? With the standard operation they probably would have. Should the Bengals have just let the clock run out on fourth down, take the penalty and give Huber five more yards to pin the Steelers?
But once you get past the hand-wringing and frustration over five turnovers and an overtime loss that puts you alone in the AFC North basement at 0-1, one needs perspective.
Many teams have started 0-1 and recovered to not only win their division but the Super Bowl. It’s not the end of the world.
So, here’s some advice to Bengals fans everywhere: Believe in the roster. Ted Karras does, even after one error-filled game from Joe Burrow that featured five turnovers by the quarterback and a career-worst four interceptions.
“Joe’s a beast,” Karras said. “We did what we needed to do to get back in this game with several chances to win. No one’s freaking out. No one’s thinking anything else other than we lost today. Everyone has their own things they wish they had done differently, especially after a loss as dramatic as that. No, Joe’s awesome. Did a great job today and it didn’t go our way.”

— Mike Petraglia (@Trags) September 11, 2022
Tee Higgins went out in the first half with a concussion. Clark Harris is likely done indefinitely with a biceps injury. But this roster is still loaded. Evan McPherson set a club record with a 59-yard field goal and is still setting a career path to be the best and most reliable kicker in team history. Joe Burrow engineered a key drive under pressure when the team needed it.
The defense had big play after big play, highlighted by their three-and-out under the two-minute warning when they forced another Steelers punt and giving the Bengals 87 seconds to tie the game.
What the Bengals showed on defense was incredible tenacity from start to finish. The first drive of the game was a stop by Eli Apple on third down that forced the Steelers to punt.
“Our defense played lights out,” La’el Collins told me. “Played a helluva a game and we should’ve answered the bell a lot more, put more points on the board.”

Good teams lose games. Sometimes those games come in the opener. Great teams can lose their first game. Super Bowl winners have lost their first game. Why? Because as every coach will tell you, they don’t really know what they have until they play one or two or even three games.
Coaches on great teams believe in the players on their roster to make big plays at big moments. Burrow did that on his second drive of the second half, throwing a third-down seed to Tyler Boyd for the first touchdown. With no margin for error on the last play of the game, Burrow made another big play.
The Bengals lost a game Sunday they almost won in miraculous fashion. No team has any business winning a game when you lose a turnover battle, 5-0.
“We had our chances,” Zac Taylor said. “To lose the turnover battle five to nothing, to have kick operations ruined on two kicks that both would have won the game is disheartening in that way because I thought we would have handled those situations better. But I thought our guys really fought back and gave us a chance. I thought the defense played solid all day. We would have liked to get a turnover, but really they held them to 13 points until that last field goal. That’s a pretty good day’s work in the NFL.
“So, just didn’t do enough as a team to overcome some of the adversity that we put ourselves in, didn’t find a way to make a play at the end that would have won it, and that’s life. We’ve got 16 more of these, and we’ll turn around next week and start getting ready for Dallas and try to gain some momentum that way.”
What’s the true meaning of Sunday’s loss going forward? Road games in Dallas and against the Jets should offer the best kind of perspective in the form of a response.

(ANSA) – Washington, September 11 – Families of 9/11 victims will seek justice. Joe Biden confirmed this by answering a question from accompanying journalists about the fact that the trials of minds for the attacks are still being held at Guantanamo. “We’re working on it,” the US president said.
“Twenty-one years later, we maintain and commemorate the precious lives that were stolen from us at Ground Zero, Shankville, and the Pentagon. Jill and I are close to families who lost and continue to suffer. We will never forget Biden’s tweet on the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.”
The president will attend a memorial for the attacks on the Pentagon, where a minute of silence will be held around 9.37, the time of the crash of American Airlines Boeing 757. All 64 people on board the plane died in the blast, including the terrorists, and 125 people who were in the Defense Department building. (Dealing).

62 YEARS AGO (1960): Overcrowding at 100 Mile Elementary School resulted in the school auditorium being pressed into use as a classroom with Principal Keith Souster winding up putting the Grade 3 class in that room. Souster had anticipated a record enrollment of approximately 235 students. On the first day of school, they had 238 students enrolled and expected half a dozen more to come back within the following week. Souster had said the enrollment numbers pointed out the vital need for an additional classroom to be added to the existing school.
42 YEARS AGO (1980): The Lac La Hache Sports Association was working on a new facility overlooking the south end of Lac La Hache. Plans for the five areas of land included a softball diamond, soccer field and a tennis court. There had been thoughts on making the grounds suitable for gymkhanas. Club president Bud Williams said bad weather prevented the project from being finished. Williams said other clubs were interested in joining the Sports Association and helping with the new facility. About $20,000 cash was required.
32 YEARS AGO (1990): The Cariboo Tourism Association sent a delegation to Montana to meet with the Northwest Outdoor Writers Association when they met in the fall. CTA President Pat Corbett said the writers association was made up of journalists who specialized in outdoor writing and the CTA wanted to offer to host their 1991 annual general meeting in the Cariboo. Corbett felt holding the general meeting in the Cariboo would have resulted in a lot of free exposure to the area through articles written by members of the outdoor association.
22 YEARS AGO (2000): The tender for the Lone Butte Fire Department’s new air compressor system for self-contained breathing apparatus was awarded at the Aug. 18 regular meeting of the Cariboo Regional District Board. The contract, worth $22,348.03, went to Irwin Air Ltd., the lowest of two tenders received by the CRD. The quotes did not include taxes, freight or installation costs. Sufficient funds were allocated for the Lone Butte Fire Department to facilitate the purchase, which had been included in the district’s five-year capital plan, said Janis Bell, CRD Supervisor of Services.

JERUSALEM — (AP) — Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Palestinian officials said, after the military said he hit a soldier in the face with a hammer.
The military said the soldier was lightly wounded. It provided a photo of the hammer and a knife, which it said was also in the Palestinian's possession. The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death, near the village of Baytin, but had no details about the circumstances nor the identity of the man killed.
Rights groups accuse Israeli forces of using excessive force in their dealings with the Palestinians, without being held accountable. The military says they contend with complex, life-threatening scenarios.
The violence was the latest in a string of incidents this week that has seen deadly confrontations between soldiers and Palestinians. Israel has been carrying out nightly arrest raids in West Bank cities, towns and villages since a spate of attacks against Israelis in the spring killed 19 people.
Israeli fire has killed dozens of Palestinians during that time, making it the deadliest year in the occupied territory since 2016.
The Israeli military says the vast majority of those killed were militants or stone-throwers who endangered the soldiers. But several civilians have also been killed during Israel's monthslong operation, including a veteran journalist and a lawyer who apparently drove unwittingly into a battle zone. Some local youths who took to the streets in response to the invasion of their neighborhoods have also been killed.
Israel says the arrest raids are meant to dismantle militant networks that have embedded themselves. The Palestinians say the operations are aimed at maintaining Israel’s 55-year military occupation of territories they want for an independent state.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians seek those territories for a future state.

Mike Evans is DIFFERENT 🤯

— Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers) September 12, 2022
NFL fans love watching the best players in the league go 1-on-1, and Sunday night’s matchup between Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs had must-see TV written all over it.
Evans appears to be taking this round, capping off an impressive performance with an incredible one-handed touchdown catch from Tom Brady, beating Diggs in man coverage for the score.
That’s 77 career touchdown receptions for Evans, the most touchdowns by any player in Bucs history, and the most receiving scores of any NFL player since Evans entered the league in 2014.

- JPMorgan analysts laid out the potential for billions if not trillions of dollars in a potential metaverse market in China.
- They picked three China internet stocks likely to benefit the most.
- However, the metaverse concept has yet to take off in the U.S., while heavy regulation in China poses a risk to its development in the Asian country.
BEIJING — When it comes to futuristic concepts like the metaverse, JPMorgan analysts think they've found a strategy for selecting Chinese stock plays.
The metaverse is loosely defined as the next iteration of the internet, existing as a virtual world in which humans interact via three-dimensional avatars. Hype around the metaverse swept through the business industry about a year ago. But in the United States at least, it isn't gaining the momentum that companies such as Facebook had hoped.
The social network giant even changed its name to Meta last year. However, its shares are down more than 50% this year — far worse than the Nasdaq's roughly 24% decline.
China faces the same consumer adoption problems as the United States. But the Asian country's metaverse development faces its own challenge of regulatory scrutiny, something the JPMorgan analysts pointed out in their Sept. 7 report. Cryptocurrencies, a major element of the metaverse outside China, are also banned within the country.
Nevertheless, the stock analysts said some Chinese internet companies can make money from particular industry trends driven by the metaverse's development.
Top picks
Money Report
Their top picks in the sector are Tencent, NetEase and Bilibili. And among non-internet names in Asia, companies like Agora, China Mobile and Sony made JPMorgan's list of potential beneficiaries.
That's based on the companies' competitive edge in particular aspects of the metaverse, such as gaming and social networks.
"Development of mobile internet and AI in the past 5-10 years suggests that a company's competitive advantage in one part of the tech ecosystem is often more important in determining long-term value creation to shareholders than which part of the ecosystem the company operates in," analyst Daniel Chen and his team said in the report.
Here are two main ways that companies can make money as the metaverse develops, the analysts said.
Gaming and intellectual property
In JPMorgan's most optimistic scenario, China's online game market nearly triples to $131 billion from $44 billion.
Tencent and NetEase both have strong gaming businesses and partnerships with global industry leaders, the analysts said.
For example, Tencent has a stake in virtual world game company Roblox, while NetEase has partnered with Warner Bros. for a Harry Potter-themed mobile game, the report pointed out.
Digitalization of business and consumption
"The metaverse will likely double digital time spent" from the current average of 6.6 hours, the analysts said. They also expect companies will be able to generate more revenue per internet user.
JPMorgan estimates the total addressable market in China for business services and software in the metaverse will be $27 billion, while digitalizing the offline consumption of goods and services will make up a $4 trillion market in China.
In business services, NetEase already has a virtual meeting room system called Yaotai, while Tencent operates a videoconferencing app called Tencent Meeting, the report pointed out.
Tencent also has "rich experience in managing China's largest social network Weixin/mobile QQ" and can benefit from virtual item sales within those platforms, the analysts said.
Similarly, Bilibili's "high user engagement will enable it to capture rich monetization potential in [value added service]/virtual item sales in the long run," the analysts said.
They noted the app is the "go-to entertainment platform" for Chinese people aged 35 and below, with each user spending an average of 95 minutes a day on the platform in the first quarter.
While the central Chinese government has cracked down on prolonged gaming by minors, some local authorities have announced plans for metaverse development.
'Obstacles to overcome'
But it remains unclear how practical such efforts will be from a business perspective.
Without naming the companies as stock picks, the JPMorgan analysts described a number of other metaverse projects underway in China, such as Baidu's virtual XiRang world, and virtual reality development by Baidu-backed iQiyi, NetEase and Bilibili.
The analysts said virtual reality devices are currently too heavy to be used for long periods of time, and cloud computing capabilities and metaverse content remain limited.
"We think 'perfect form' of the metaverse could take decades to achieve," the analysts said. "While we believe the [total addressable market] for the metaverse is enormous, we believe there are various technological obstacles to overcome."

NFL
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers’ perfect reaction to miserable 7-point showing vs. Vikings
The Green Bay Packers were favored walking into Minnesota to take on the Vikings in Week 1. What Packers fans, and football fans in general, saw was an absolutely putrid display.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for less than 200 yards in the 23-7 loss. Furthermore, he had zero touchdowns and threw an interception.
Following the game, Rodgers had a bit of a sense of humor. He joked with reporters, comparing the Packers Week 1 performance this season to that of last season.
“I feel like we had a much better performance,” Rodgers quipped. “We scored four more points than we did that day. There’s a lot to build on when you compare the two.”
However, Rodgers got serious, and admitted there were things to clean up. He missed throws, and he made a lot of mistakes. The Packers cannot win if Rodgers plays like that.
“Look, it’s tough to win in this league, and it’s definitely tough when you get in your own way too many times. I felt like we did some good things. Maybe we’ve got to get some more touches for Jonesy (Aaron Jones) and (AJ) Dillon. Made a lot of mistakes in the perimeter, missed some throws, so there’s a lot to clean up all the way around,” Rodgers said.
The veteran Packers quarterback told reporters that above all else, it’s the mental errors his team needs to clean up.
“It’s the mental stuff that we just can’t have because we’re hurting ourselves,” Rodgers said. “Whether we’re going the wrong way on a block or missing a protection or missing a hot (read) or not running the right route, the right depth, there was just too many mental mistakes.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Emmanuel Obeng-Dankwa is worried about making rent on his New York City apartment, he sometimes holds off on filling his blood pressure medication.
“If there’s no money, I prefer to skip the medication to being homeless,” said Obeng-Dankwa, a 58-year-old security guard.
He is among a majority of adults in the U.S. who say that health care is not handled well in the country, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The poll reveals that public satisfaction with the U.S. health care system is remarkably low, with fewer than half of Americans saying it is generally handled well. Only 12% say it is handled extremely or very well. Americans have similar views about health care for older adults.
Overall, the public gives even lower marks for how prescription drug costs, the quality of care at nursing homes and mental health care are being handled, with just 6 percent or less saying those health services are done very well in the country.
“Navigating the American health care system is exceedingly frustrating,” said A. Mark Fendrick, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design. “The COVID pandemic has only made it worse.”
More than two years after the pandemic's start, health care worker burnout and staffing shortages are plaguing hospitals around the country. And Americans are still having trouble getting in-person medical care after health centers introduced restrictions as COVID-19 killed and sickened millions of people around the country, Fendrick said.
In fact, the poll shows an overwhelming majority of Americans, nearly 8 in 10, say they are at least moderately concerned about getting access to quality health care when they need it.
Black and Hispanic adults in particular are resoundingly worried about health care access, with nearly 6 in 10 saying they are very or extremely concerned about getting good care. Fewer than half of white adults, 44%, expressed the same level of worry.
Racial disparities have long troubled America's health care system. They have been abundantly clear during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Black and Hispanic people dying disproportionately from the virus. Black and Hispanic men also make up a disproportionately high rate of recent monkeypox infections.
Fifty-three percent of women said they are extremely or very concerned about obtaining quality care, compared to 42% of men.
While Americans are united in their dissatisfaction with the health care system, that agreement dissolves when it comes to solutions to fix it.
About two-thirds of adults think it is the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have health care coverage, with adults ages 18 to 49 more likely than those over 50 to hold that view. The percentage of people who believe health care coverage is a government responsibility has risen in recent years, ticking up from 57% in 2019 and 62% in 2017.
Still, there’s not consensus on how that coverage might be delivered.
About 4 in 10 Americans say they support a single-payer health care system that would require Americans to get their health insurance from a government plan. More, 58%, say they favor a government health insurance plan that anyone can purchase.
There also is broad support for policies that would help Americans pay for the costs of long-term care, including a government-administered insurance plan similar to Medicare, the federal government’s health insurance for people 65 or older.
Retired nurse Pennie Wright, of Camden, Tennessee, doesn’t like the idea of a government-run health care system.
After switching to Medicare this year, she was surprised to walk out of her annual well-woman visit, once fully covered by her private insurance plan, with a $200 bill.
She prefers the flexibility she had on her private insurance plan.
“I feel like we have the best health care system in the world, we have a choice of where we want to go,” Wright said.
A majority of Americans, roughly two-thirds, were happy to see the government step in to provide free COVID-19 testing, vaccines and treatment. Roughly 2 in 10 were neutral about the government’s response.
The government’s funding for free COVID-19 tests dried up at the beginning of the month. And while the White House says the latest batch of recommended COVID-19 boosters will be free to anyone who wants one, it doesn't have money on hand to buy any future rounds of booster shots for every American.
Eighty percent say they support the federal government negotiating for lower drug prices. President Joe Biden this summer signed a landmark bill into law allowing Medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs. The move is expected to save taxpayers as much as $100 billion over the next decade.
“Medication costs should be low, to the minimum so that everyone can afford it,” said Obeng-Dankwa, the Bronx renter who has trouble paying for his medication. “Those who are poor should be able to get all the necessary health they need, in the same way someone who also has the money to pay for it.”

Todd Boehly is edging closer to the appointment of a sporting director at Chelsea. However, the American billionaire must overcome several challenges first, with Michael Edwards and Luis Campos both said to be on the Blues' shortlist.
According to The Times, Boehly has held talks with the Portuguese transfer guru. It's said that Campos is currently working as an advisor for both Paris Saint-Germain and Celta Vigo; essentially a freelance sporting director for either side.
However, the report adds that there is a clause in Campos' contract at Les Parc des Princes which prevents him from working 'in parallel' with another 'big club'. But, as aforementioned, by working as a freelance, a move to west London is not off the cards.
READ MORE:Former Tottenham icon questions Premier League cancellation decision following The Queen's death
Ben Jacobs, journalist at CBS Sports, claims that, in order for Campos to exclusively work with Chelsea, he must pay PSG the remainder of his contract. The report adds that the French giants are 'quite surprised' at the Blues' interest in their chief.
With Edwards also subject to notable interest from the west Londoners, the two could coexist should Campos be employed at Stamford Bridge as an advisor. According to The Athletic, former Liverpool chief Michael Edwards was a leading target for Chelsea this summer.
Edwards was responsible for the signings of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane at Liverpool. He has built himself a reputation for his impressive success rate with transfers that have gone on to warrant - and exceed - the initial fee paid.
But, to Boehly's despair, it's said that Edwards turned down the opportunity, with the intention of taking a break from the sport. The Blues are believed to still hold an interest as they look to finally fill the position left by Michael Emenalo in 2017.
In the meantime, Boehly is Chelsea's interim sporting director. The club welcomed eight new players - one of whom has returned to their former club on loan and another who's arrived on loan - to the club this summer, costing in the region of £270million.
The aforementioned fee was spent on signing Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Carney Chukwuemeka, Gabriel Slonina and Denis Zakaria (loan fee).

Man gets 60 years for filming himself raping child
DALLAS (AP) - Authorities say a Dallas-area man was sentenced to 60 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to filming himself raping a 7-year-old girl.
The U.S. attorney’s office for the northern district of Texas said in a statement Friday that Mark Allen Miller, of Rowlett, was sentenced Thursday by a federal judge in Dallas after pleading guilty to two counts of producing child pornography.
The 35-year-old Miller was arrested on Jan. 12 after the girl’s father, with whom Miller was staying, said he walked in on Miller raping the girl, who was 9 years old at the time. The father said he and Miller had been friends for over a decade.
Prosecutors say Miller admitted to police that he had been molesting the girl for two years. They say he also admitted to producing child pornography, including at least five videos and 132 images involving the victim.
The 60 years Miller was sentenced to was the statutory maximum sentence.

A SEMI-RETIRED Bathurst teacher believes the COVID-19 pandemic has played a major part in staff shortages currently faced by the education sector.
Wayne Feebrey said there is that much work available at the moment that he could, if he wanted, return to full-time work.
"There's a lot of work around at the moment because schools are short of staff and they're struggling to find full-time staff and even part-time and casual staff," he said.
"If I wanted to, I could probably work every day of the week but I don't want to.

"I think all schools are crying out for casual staff. There's just not enough people to fill the roles, unfortunately."
He believes COVID-19 has played a big part and not just staff being off when they've been diagnosed, but also from a sense of exhaustion and strain the pandemic has put on them.
"A lot of it is down to COVID. People are still getting it and before they changed the rules, if someone in their family got COVID, they had to stay away from school for seven days," he said.
"That meant there was a lot of staff off from time to time. It's a little bit better now, because the rules aren't the same anymore.
"A lot of staff are also tired from the last three years. They've had to work extra hard. People were working from home and trying to look after their own kids as well.
"Staff were teaching kids at recess, lunch, before school, after school and at home. I think that wore them out and I think a lot of them are starting to reconsider teaching as a career, to be honest."
Mr Feebrey believes some teachers weren't feeling valued.
"During COVID, teachers weren't considered to be frontline responders. They weren't given priority for COVID shots, which is crazy because they're looking after the children of people who were dealing with COVID every day," he said.
"I think that kind of sent a bit of a message to teachers, that they weren't valued perhaps."
All this hasn't been helped from a wave of staff retiring.
"Baby boomers, which I guess I am a part of, have come to the end of their career and that's a huge loss to the teaching profession, losing that knowledge, skills and connections to families," Mr Feebrey said.
"That's a big gap to fill and I don't think the government has planned well enough for that."
In attempt to get more teachers in classrooms, Mr Feebrey suggested students studying teaching at university should be offered a financial incentive.
"I think a lot of training teachers out there would love to spend more time in the classroom, rather being in a university lecture hall," he said.
"An apprentice, they learn on the job, and they get paid. Training teachers don't. Four years down the track, they get thrown into the deep end of teaching and suddenly go, 'I don't really want to do this'.
"If they were spending more time in the classroom and there was some kind of financial incentive to do that, that would help a lot of the shortages and encourage more young people to pick it up as a career."
Bathurst High Campus principal Ken Barwick said a number of factors have played a part in schools across the city being short staffed.
"We've been fortunate that we haven't had large numbers out at one time," he said.
"I think there was an ongoing teacher shortage that fell in the middle of COVID, which exacerbated the impact on schools. But I I can't praise my staff enough.
"It probably has been the toughest eight months in schools in terms of bodies on deck, due to a range of factors. One being normal illnesses, one being COVID illnesses and one being staff shortages."

Sept 12 (Reuters) - The European Union's Brexit chief Maros Sefcovic said he could reduce physical customs checks across the Irish Sea to just a few lorries a day, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
Physical checks would only be made when there is reasonable suspicion of illegal trade smuggling, illegal drugs, dangerous toys or poisoned food, the FT reported, citing an interview with Sefcovic.
There is almost no difference between the United Kingdom's demand for "no checks" and the EU's offer of "minimum checks, done in an invisible manner," the newspaper quoted Sefcovic as saying.

Taiwan issues warning as typhoon Muifa approaches
Taipei: Taiwan’s meteorological agency has issued a maritime warning as Muifa, the 12th typhoon of this year, is approaching the island.
On Sunday, the typhoon was monitored to be centred at 22.5 degrees north latitude and 124.5 degrees east longitude and was moving north-by-westward at 7 km per hour, according to the agency.
Affected by the medium-strength typhoon, it also warned against heavy rain in the north of the island, reports Xinhua news agency.
The meteorological agency predicted that Muifa will be nearest to the island on Monday and Tuesday, and will gradually depart starting from Wednesday.
Taiwan had issued a maritime warning for this year’s 11th typhoon Hinnamnor on September 2, which was lifted two days later.

Shares rose Monday in Asia after last weeks strong close on Wall Street snapped a three-week losing streak.
Many regional markets were closed for holidays, while Tokyo and Sydney advanced. Oil prices declined. Investors are watching for U.S. inflation figures and Chinese economic data this week. The U.S. Labor Department will release its report on consumer prices for August on Tuesday and a report on wholesale prices on Wednesday. On Thursday, Wall Street will get an update on retail sales for August.
Coronavirus cases are still casting a shadow in China, where about 65 million Chinese were under lockdown as of last week despite just 1,248 new cases of domestic transmission, mostly asymptomatic, being reported on Sunday. All in all, the lower-for-longer growth picture remains the theme for China,” Yeap Jun Rong of IG said in a commentary.
Tokyos Nikkei 225 gained 1.2% to 28,546.09 and the S&;P/ASX 200 in Sydney surged 1.2% to 6,973.60. Taiwans benchmark gained 1.6%. Markets in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Seoul were closed for holidays. On Friday, the S&P 500 closed 1.5% higher at 4,067.36, its third straight increase, and ended with a 3.7% gain for the week. That makes it the benchmark indexs best week going back to July.
Big gains for technology companies pushed the Nasdaq composite to a 2.1% gain, at 12,112.31. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.2% to 32,151.71. Both indexes also notched their first weekly gain in four weeks.
Smaller company stocks also notched solid gains. The Russell 2000 index jumped 1.9% to 1,882.85.
Those gains punctuated a holiday-shortened week of trading on Wall Street during which the market regained some of the ground it lost after a mid-August slump that wiped away the much of the gains from a mid-summer rally.
All 11 industry sectors in the benchmark S&P 500 rose, though makers of household goods and utilities, which are typically considered less risky investments, lagged the market. U.S. crude oil prices rose 3.9%, helping push up energy sector stocks. Exxon Mobil rose 1.7%.
The Federal Reserve is in the spotlight as investors they try to figure out whether the U.S. central banks plan to cool the hottest inflation in four decades will work or possibly tip an already slowing economy into a recession. Stocks spent July and part of August gaining ground on hopes that the Fed would ease up on its interest rate hikes, but slumped over the last few weeks as it became clear the central bank remained resolute in raising rates.
The central bank has already raised rates four times this year and markets expect it to deliver another jumbo-sized increase of three-quarters of a percentage point at its next meeting in two weeks. Fed officials, including Chair Jerome Powell, have all reaffirmed the central banks determination in raising rates until inflation is under control.
In other trading Monday, U.S. benchmark crude oil lost USD 1.34 to USD 85.45 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile exchange. It jumped USD 3.25 to USD 86.79 a barrel on Friday. Brent crude oil, the pricing basis for international trading, gave up USD 1.30 to USD 91.54 a barrel.
The dollar rose to 143.02 Japanese yen from USD 142.26 yen. The euro slipped to USD 1.0080 from USD 1.0093.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The Tigray forces battling Ethiopian troops say they’re willing to abide by an immediate cessation of hostilities and participate in a peace process led by the African Union, a significant shift to which the government has not yet responded.
The conflict in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region has killed an estimated tens of thousands of people and left millions without basic services for well over a year after fighting erupted in late 2020.
The Tigray authorities’ statement Sunday night came after new pressure by the United States and others following the renewal of fighting last month that shattered months of relative calm.
The Tigray authorities had criticized AU mediation efforts under special envoy Olesegun Obasanjo, and their new statement makes clear they expect “mutually acceptable mediators” along with international observers and experts to guide the process.
The Ethiopian government has said it was ready for talks anywhere at any time and without preconditions. Tigray authorities had demanded the resumption of basic services and the removal of hostile forces from neighboring Eritrea, among other things.
The U.S., AU and United Nations welcomed the Tigray authorities’ new statement, and the U.S. called on Eritrea and unnamed “others” to stop fueling the conflict.

NFL power rankings Week 1: Where Commanders stand after win vs. Jaguars originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
In typical NFL fashion, Week 1 didn’t disappoint.
The Bears sprung an upset on Trey Lance and the 49ers at rain-soaked Soldier Field, Meanwhile, Justin Jefferson torched the Green Bay Packers a few hours to the west, while the Eagles stomped the Detroit Lions to the east.
The 49ers weren’t the only expected title contender to lay an egg in Week 1. The Packers, Rams, Bengals, Cowboys, and Colts all stunk up the place as well.
Alarm bells are ringing in Dallas, Green Bay, Arizona, and Indianapolis, while dreams of surprise playoff runs are popping up in Chicago, New York (not the Jets), and Washington.
Water eventually finds its level. But for now, 1-0 is 1-0.
Local
Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia local news, events and information
Here’s where every team stands after Sunday’s Week 1 action:
32. New York Jets (0-1): Yuck.
31. Atlanta Falcons (0-1): Things were looking good for the Falcons until the fourth quarter hit, then the Saints reeled off 17 points in a row to steal a Week 1 win. Falcons still can’t finish.
30. Seattle Seahawks (0-0): The Seahawks appear to have hit on rookies Charles Cross, Boye Mafe, Abraham Lucas, Coby Bryant, and Tariq Woolen. That’s an excellent way to start a rebuild. Next comes the hard part: Finding a quarterback.
29. Detroit Lions (0-1): Hard Knocks is over, and the Lions are still the Lions.
28. Houston Texans (0-0-1): Curious coaching by Lovie Smith cost the Texans a Week 1 win. Won’t be many of those to come by this season, so that stings.
27. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1): At least their head coach got on the plane back to Duval with them after the loss in D.C. Baby steps.
26. Tennessee Titans (0-1): The Titans are no strangers to surprise losses early in the season. But those Titans teams had a lot more talent than what that puked on itself against the Giants.
25. Carolina Panthers (0-1): Is Matt Rhule coaching Nebraska yet?
24. New England Patriots (0-1): I don’t know why Bill Belichick was so optimistic after the Patriots’ Week 1 loss to the Dolphins. Things are bad, and there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to fix what ails the offense.
23. Arizona Cardinals (0-1): Look at the bright side, Cardinals, at least things can’t get much worse. Probably.
22. Dallas Cowboys (0-1): If Dak Prescott’s hand injury is serious, could Dallas be a trade candidate for Jimmy Garoppolo? Or do the 49ers need him more after what they saw from Trey Lance on Sunday?
21. Chicago Bears (1-0): The Bears’ defense stymied the 49ers in a soggy game at Soldier Field. It was a good start to the Matt Eberflus era, but let’s not overreact … yet.
20. New York Giants (1-0): Saquon is back. Fantasy teams everywhere rejoice.
19. Cleveland Browns (1-0): So much for Baker Mayfield’s revenge tour.
18. Indianapolis Colts (0-0-1): The winner of the AFC South is going to be 8-8-1.
17. Washington Commanders (1-0): The Commanders looked a lot more competent than I expected. They were playing the Jaguars, but credit where credit is due.
16. Las Vegas Raiders (0-1): The Raiders had zero sacks and zero takeaways Sunday vs. the Chargers. That’s a recipe for a loss.
15. San Francisco 49ers (0-1): The 49ers were sloppy, undisciplined, and overall underwhelming in a surprising loss to the Bears. A get-right game against the Seahawks is a must in Week 2.
14. New Orleans Saints (1-0): Welcome back, Michael Thomas.
13. Miami Dolphins (1-0): Mike McDaniel showed some good stuff against the Patriots in his coaching debut, but the Fins have a lot of kinks to work out.
12. Cincinnati Bengals (0-1): It was a disappointing opener for the defending AFC champions. The way they rallied back against the Steelers was a bright spot, though.
11. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0): The Steelers got the win, but at what cost? T.J. Watt’s pectoral injury looms large now over Pittsburgh’s season.
10. Denver Broncos (0-0): How will the Seattle faithful welcome Russ back to his former home? Expect a rowdy night from the 12s on Monday.
9. Green Bay Packers (0-1): Aaron Rodgers might need another body cleanse/vision quest to get Sunday’s performance out of his system. Turns out, replacing Davante Adams isn’t that easy.
8. Los Angeles Rams (0-1): The Rams looked like Ed Helms waking up in a Vegas hotel after a bachelor party that went overboard. Shake it off, champs.
7. Baltimore Ravens (1-0): Lamar Jackson turned down $250 million and went and hung it on the Jets to start his “bet on myself” tour. Not bad.
6. Minnesota Vikings (1-0): The Vikings are about to be a problem this season.
5. Los Angeles Chargers (1-0): Keenan Allen’s injury puts a damper on the Bolts’ season-opening win, but Khalil Mack looks rejuvenated outside of Chicago.
4. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0): The Eagles’ hype train is about to jump the tracks after steamrolling the Lions.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0): If this is Tom Brady’s last season, you can bet The GOAT won’t go quietly.
2, Buffalo Bills (1-0): The prettiest girl at the NFL ball showed up Thursday night and lived up to their billing. The Bills are for real.
1. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0): Yeah… Patrick Mahomes is going to be just fine without Tyreek Hill.

Unethical and Immoral Border Policy
Dear Editor,
My last letter to the editor was “Immigration or Invasion”. It spoke of the cost on the American Taxpayer. However, this past week an interview that investigative reporter Sara Carter had with a Central American Human Trafficker described another side to this issue! He told Carter how drug cartels harvest children’s organs for sale, then use their corpses to fill with drugs that they smuggle across our border. These victimized children are never set free. Carter discovered that the Mexican Authorities previously investigated a cartel in 2014 for juvenile organ trafficking! This horrific practice continues thanks to Biden’s and Mayorkas’s policies that incentivizes traffickers with their open border policies and decreased border security.
MS13 and other transnational gangs use our Southern border as an open gateway contributng to the crime rate. And Fentanyl trafficked through Mexico from China has killed our own young people with drug overdoses -the highest level in US history! These Monsters must be stopped!
The Democratic Party which has callously supported the killing of innocent unborn babies in the womb display no sensitivity that their policies result in children being victimized by drug cartels. They avoid addressing this crisis. Children on both sides are being victimized, those trying to cross our border illegally and our own young people who use the drugs that flow into our nation. We don’t need more IRS agents, we need more border patrol agents! This unethical and Immoral Border policy must end!

Writing in the condolence book, Son stressed his respect for the Queen's fine sentiments towards Vietnam and her support for fostering the cooperative ties between the two nations. He extended his deepest condolences to the Royal Family, government and people of the UK.
Earlier on September 9, President Nguyen Xuan Phuc sent a message of condolences to King Charles III, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh extended condolences to Prime Minister Elizabeth Truss, and National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue did the same to Speaker of the House of Lords John McFall and Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle.
Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving monarch in British history, reigning for 70 years (1952-2022). She passed away on September 8 at the age of 96./.

Neighbours star Nicky Whelan loves her risqué fashion choices.
And the actress, 41, almost gave fans a little more than she bargained for last Thursday when she stepped out in a daring outfit while heading out to dinner.
Nicky's white blouse fell open to reveal her sheer black bra underneath.

She finished her look with her favourite pair of Isabel Marant wedged sneakers she has owned for several years and a black messenger bag she wore over one shoulder.
Nicky kept her make-up palette glossy and pulled her blonde tresses back in a bun for the night out in Tinseltown.
It comes after Nicky revealed why she has always been so thin while speaking on the podcast Cancel Me, Baby!
Nicky paired the shirt with oversized terracotta pants
'A lot of the time when my body's looked its best is when I have been incredibly stressed out,' she admitted.
While she admitted she does exercise and follow a healthy lifestyle, there are many times when her weight loss has all been down to stress.
'I work out, but I also have times when I'm so stressed and I lose so much weight and it doesn't matter what I eat, my body loses weight,' she said.
She finished her look with her favourite pair of Isabel Marant wedged sneakers she has owned for several years and a black messenger bag she wore over one shoulder
'And when I am at my worst internally, people will come up and say to me, "God, you look fantastic." I'm like, "You've got no idea what's going on inside."'
Nicky then revealed that whenever she's been happier and 'curvier', she has received less compliments.
'Other times in my life when I'm really happy and jovial and I've put on weight and I'm a bit curvier, I don't get as much attention or people say different things,' she said.
Nicky glowed as she smiled for the paparazzi outside celebrity eatery Catch LA
The blonde famously played Pepper Steiger on Neighbours from 2006 until 2007.
She went on to carve out a career for herself in Los Angeles, and has starred in movies such as Hall Pass and The Wedding Ringer.
Nicky often speaks about her passion for boxing, regularly sharing photos and videos of herself working out on Instagram.
It comes after Nicky revealed why she has always been so thin while speaking on the podcast Cancel Me, Baby!
Last year, she shared a meme complaining about young fitness influencers.
'I hate when fitness influencers are in their early twenties. Listen, I was skinny and hot as f**k when I was 21, too,' it read.
'My diet was vodka, ramen, coffee, and cigarettes. My workout was walking to parties drunk as f**k in five-inch heels. You don't impress me.'
'A lot of the time when my body's looked its best is when I have been incredibly stressed out,' she admitted

One of the arrestees, who was identified as Priyavrat alias Fauji, was learned to have been in constant touch with Brar, while leading a team of shooters. On Sunday, the Punjab police stated that at least 23 accused in the case, including mastermind Lawrence Bishnoi, were arrested.

Nutraceuticals for nails are now readily available and assist to strengthen them & stop breaking. Both supplement & liquid forms of these items are used for consumption. Omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, lutein, as well as vitamins (A, B6, and E) are a few of the main components of nutracosmetics.
These substances work as antioxidants by limiting and neutralizing the impacts of free radicals, giving skin anti-inflammatory defense against UV radiation. The growing interest in healthy aging is a significant driver of the worldwide nutracosmetics market’s expansion, particularly among women. Another important factor driving the growth of nutracosmetic market is the growing popularity of nutracosmetics among older people. Demand for nutracosmetics is also fueled by the rapidly aging population base & rising health and wellness consciousness.
Nutritional cosmetics are now an essential part of people’s daily lifestyles. Additionally, one of the main factors influencing the usage of nutracosmetics on the international market is the rise in consciousness about both internal and exterior attractiveness. In addition to women, males are now increasingly incorporating nutracosmetics into their daily routines, which is resulting in market expansion. Consequently, the expansion of the market is a result of changing lifestyles. Furthermore, women use nutracosmetics products extensively because they want to flaunt healthy, radiant skin, which boosts the market’s growth. Additionally, it is predicted that throughout the forecast period, demand for herbal as well as natural skin nutracosmetics products will rise significantly.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Exporters in both developing, as well as developed countries, are facing a multitude of difficulties as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The difficulties faced by exporters of nutracosmetics ingredients are anticipated to persist as governments and states strive to combat COVID-19 on a worldwide scale. Curfew implementation and the worldwide practice of keeping social distance have an impact on domestic as well as foreign manufacturing, which in turn slows market growth. As a result, the growth of nutracosmetic market was hampered by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Market Growth factors
Rising Spendable Income Of The Consumers

Market Restraining Factors
Lack Of Awareness Among Population
Besides having a number of benefits, the demand for nutracosmetics is expected to slow down because of the lack of consumer knowledge regarding the availability as well as advantages of nutracosmetics. The lengthier time of the product’s outcomes for effective results is expected to cause more hurdles for the nutracosmetics market over the forecast period. The lack of customer trust in these products as a result of their recent availability has made it difficult for the nutracosmetics sector to expand. In underdeveloped nations, people are not much aware of the existence of such products due to a lack of resources.
Application Outlook
Based on application, the nutricosmetic market is segmented into skin care, hair care, and nail care. The skin care segment dominated the nutracosmetic market by generating maximum revenue in 2021.

Demographic Outlook
On the basis of demographic, the nutricosmetic market is fragmented into male and female. The male segment generated a substantial revenue share in the nutracosmetic market in 2021. The growth of the market in this segment can be attributed to the fact that many men prefer the thought of taking a pill or a supplement to address their skin care needs may be because of cultural pressures on males to adopt a practical, problem-solving mindset. Men want solutions that are well-positioned & clearly communicate the answer to their unmet needs.
Ingredient Outlook
By ingredient, the nutricosmetic market is divided into carotenoids, probiotics, vitamins and others. The probiotics segment covered a significant revenue share in the nutracosmetic market in 2021.

The market for probiotic cosmetic products may experience exponential growth due to rising knowledge about aesthetics, wellbeing, and health.
Distribution Channel Outlook
Based on distribution channel, the nutricosmetic market is classified into hypermarket and supermarket; specialty stores; pharmacies & drug stores; online sales channel and others. The online sales segment acquired a promising revenue share in the nutracosmetic market in 2021. This is because of the increasing penetration of the internet and the influence of social media all over the world. Also, the sale in this segment is increasing as various online distribution channels offer products from a wide range of brands with different prices which consumer can compare and then can choose the most suitable one for them.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will now investigate the alleged corruption into the purchase of 1,000 low-lying buses by the Delhi government after Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's approval.
The request was made by Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar on the basis of a complaint received in June.
WHAT ARE THE ALLEGATIONS
The complaint in June alleged irregularities in the appointment of the Delhi transport minister as chairman of the committee related to tendering and purchase of DTC buses. It also said the appointment of the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) as the management consultant for the tender was done with the aim of facilitating irregularities in the purchase.
The complaint was forwarded to the Chief Secretary to elicit comments from the concerned departments of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD).

The Lieutenant Governor received a report from the Chief Secretary in August which showed that serious discrepancies were made in the tender process. "There is gross violation of the Central Vigilance Commission's guidelines and general financial rules," the report said. It also added that the DIMTS was deliberately made a consultant so that the discrepancies in the tender process could be endorsed. Following the complaint last year, the tender for bus purchase was cancelled.
The same discrepancies were also mentioned in a report by the Commissioner of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC).
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION BY PROBE AGENCY
The CBI registered a preliminary inquiry into alleged corruption during the procurement of 1,000 low-floor buses by the Delhi government last month. However, the probe agency did not register an FIR.
Last August, the home ministry recommended a CBI probe into the matter after corruption in the annual maintenance contract (AMC) of the bus procurement by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) was raised by the BJP in the Assembly last year.
A report was then submitted by a three-member committee on the directions of then Lieutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal.
The LG then referred the matter to the MHA for its consideration.

PARIS, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivada Space Networks GmbH, a global network company launching a constellation of 600 low-earth-orbit satellites (LEO) to enable secure, global connectivity for governments and enterprises, today announced it has joined the EU Secure Connectivity Programme.
The need for secure and resilient global connectivity increases with the digitization of the economy and society and increasing geopolitical and cybersecurity threats. The European Commission is proposing an ambitious plan for an EU space-based secure communication system that will ensure worldwide uninterrupted access to secure and cost-effective satellite communication services for the protection of critical infrastructures, surveillance and crisis management. It will also allow for the provisioning of commercial services by the private sector to enable advanced, reliable and fast connections for all citizens and businesses across Europe.
German company Rivada Space Networks has submitted its contribution to the Preliminary Market Consultation of the EU Secure Connectivity Programme outlining key attributes of the Rivada Space Network's laser-linked LEO constellation architecture. These include global reach, ultra-security, resilience and low latency. A firm believer in common infrastructure platforms for public use, Rivada is also proposing to use their Open Access Wireless Marketplace platform to optimize the efficient use of the multi-orbit infrastructure capacity among the member countries and stakeholders in the project.
Clemens Kaiser, Chief Programme Officer at Rivada Space Networks commented: "We reviewed the requirements and identified an absolute need to add LEO to this multi-orbit constellation approach, with Ka-band delivering the optimal solution in terms of high-throughput networking."
Rivada Space Networks Chairman Declan Ganley said: "We can ensure extra secure connectivity and the highest data sovereignty as our space network connects any two points in the world via intersatellite laser links, avoiding terrestrial or non-terrestrial infrastructures or the internet. This allows users to communicate through a single global private network running entirely over the constellation without any terrestrial touchpoint other than the user terminals or secure cloud insertion points. The physical separation at the infrastructure level significantly increases cybersecurity and data sovereignty and does so at a global scale. Furthermore, this makes our network disaster resilient since it is independent from any other infrastructure."
He further added: "Security and Open Access are two of the foundational elements of Rivada's vision of a secure and accessible digital future for all. We aim to leverage the strengths of our satellite communication system in combination with our unique, patented Open Access Wireless Market Platform to enable an efficient use of spectrum and facilitate a fair distribution of capacity to member states. We are proud to be joining the EU's multi-stakeholder Secure Connectivity Programme, mobilizing the space and technology sector to provide an independent and secure communications infrastructure for Europe."
* Rivada Space Networks Founder Declan Ganley will be outlining Rivada's game-changing connectivity network with all its advantages for enterprise and government communications at the forthcoming World Satellite Business Week event in Paris on Monday 12th September, 13:45-14:30 Busy Agenda for NGSO Constellations #WSBW 2022. To meet with Rivada, email events@rivada.com
About Rivada Space Networks
Rivada Space Networks GmbH is a disruptive new company set to establish and operate the first truly global low latency point-to-point connectivity network of LEO satellites. By connecting its satellites with lasers, Rivada Space Networks will provide resellers and B2B customers with the ability to securely connect any two points on the globe with low latency and high bandwidth. The constellation of 600 low-earth-orbit communications satellites will represent a fundamental change in the availability of secure, global, end-to-end enterprise-grade connectivity for Telecom, Enterprise, Maritime, Energy and Government Services markets.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s prime minister on Monday defended an obscure and longstanding protocol that bars the nation’s parliament from sitting for 15 days following a British monarch’s death.
Lawmakers will reconvene on Sept. 23 to debate a condolence motion for Queen Elizabeth II, the earliest date that the protocol allows, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.
While presenting himself as a traditionalist, Albanese wants an Australian president to replace the British monarch as the nation's head of state. But he has brushed off questions about creating an Australian republic since the queen's death.
Most advocates for and against a republic are avoiding saying anything that might be seen as seeking advantage from the death of a widely respected monarch.
Britain apparently doesn’t have a comparable protocol and King Charles III, monarch of both Britain and Australia, will address the British Parliament this week.
Because the last British monarch died in 1952, few knew of the Australian protocol. Only two kings had died between then and when Parliament first sat in 1901.
Asked who was behind the protocol, Albanese replied it had “been in place for a long period of time.”
“There is something to be said for a prime minister who follows tradition, who follows protocols and who follows order,” Albanese told reporters. “That is something that I have done to define my prime ministership – respect for those traditions."
Parliamentary debate in Australia often degenerates into heated and unedifying personal abuse, particularly during Question Time, when lawmakers interrogate ministers about issues of the day.
“The idea that we could be debating Question Time as usual, that we could be having the engagement as if it was business as usual is, I believe, not correct,” Albanese said.
While the opposition has accepted the new parliamentary schedule, senior opposition Sen. Simon Birmingham expected the protocol would be reviewed.
“The custom and tradition here is appropriate for us to follow on this occasion. No doubt people will look carefully at these traditions in the future and assess how they carry forward,” Birmingham told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Anne Twomey, a Sydney University constitutional lawyer, said the protocol was not binding on the government.
“It’s like curtsying to the queen. There’s no law that requires it. It’s just a matter of whether or not you choose to do it,” Twomey said.
Albanese and the monarch’s representative in Australia, Governor-General David Hurley, will represent the nation at the queen’s funeral next week.
Australia was working with his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern to help leaders of another nine British Commonwealth island nations in the Oceania region attend the funeral, Albanese said.
He has not said whether any leader has accepted Australia’s offer of help.
“We want to ensure that no nation in our region, in the Pacific, as part of the Pacific family, is unable to attend the memorial service for Queen Elizabeth because of logistical concerns,” Albanese said.

The Goa government on Monday said it will hand over the investigation of the death of BJP leader Sonali Phogat to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Chief minister Pramod Sawant said that he will write to Union Home Minister Amit Shah today to handover the murder case to the CBI.
Phogat, a former Tik Tok star from Hisar in Haryana and contestant on the reality TV show “Big Boss", was brought dead to a hospital in North Goa on August 23, a day after arrival in the coastal state.
Pramod Sawant had earlier said his government is ready to hand over the case to the CBI, if required. He further said that though he has faith in Goa Police, but people of Haryana had sought a CBI investigation in the matter.
The state police have so far arrested five people in connection with the case. These include two associates of Phogat who have been charged with murder.

On September 7, market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) passed an order fining former Yes Bank managing director and chief executive Rana Kapoor in Yes Bank additional tier 1 bonds case.
AT1 bonds are a type of perpetual bonds banks issued to raise core equity. Yes Bank wrote down these bonds at the time of a bailout in March 2020. Kapoor is facing investigations in connection with the alleged financial irregularities in the bank during his stint that led to a near-collapse of the lender, forcing a bailout.
The case pertains to Yes Bank executives allegedly selling AT1 bonds to investors under the guise of Super FDs (fixed deposits), promising higher returns and the safety of a typical bank FD.
Sebi, imposing a fine of Rs 2 crore on Kapoor, said there are lapses on the part of former CEO that has impacted a large number of customers. "Considering the large number of investors impacted and the quantum of sales achieved through this scheme, I am of the opinion that this act of Noticee deserves penalty commensurate with the severity of violation and would be a deterrent," said the Sebi adjudicating officer in the order.
Now, what is the significance of this order?
There are two key aspects to it. One, the penalty reaffirms the wrongdoing on the part of bank management and officers at that point with respect to downselling of AT1 bonds to retail investors.
This is a serious aspect considering that 1,346 individual investors had invested approximately Rs 679 crore in the AT1 bonds, of which 1,311 individual investors were existing customers of Yes Bank who invested approximately Rs 663 crore in these AT1 Bonds.
Not just that. There were 277 customers with existing fixed deposits with Yes Bank that were prematurely closed and reinvested an amount to the extent of Rs 80 crore in these AT1 bonds which were subsequently written down. Yes Bank executives allegedly engaged in misselling of these bonds by presenting as 'super FDs'.
Second, the latest order strengthens the ongoing case of Yes Bank retail AT1 bond investors in Bombay High Court against the bank and the banking regulator Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The case, it is learned, is in the final stages. This isn't the first time the market regulator is acting on the case.
On April 12, 2021, Sebi penalised Yes Bank and three former bank officials in the AT1 bonds mis-selling case. It imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 25 crore on Yes Bank, Rs 1 crore on Vivek Kanwar and Rs 50 lakh each on Ashish Nasa and Jasjit Singh Banga. Kanwar was the head of Yes Bank’s private wealth management team. The other two were his team members.
With the market regulator finding former CEO too guilty in the case, Yes Bank’s retail investors have an additional reason to cite before the Bombay HC to seek compensation.
Also, the Sebi order raises the question of the central bank which has, in the past, refused to acknowledge the charges of mis-selling in the Yes Bank AT1 bonds case before the courts. In its counter-affidavit in the Madras High Court against the petition filed by 63 Moons Technologies (one of the institutional investors in Yes Bank AT1 bonds), the central bank said the action for writing off has been rightly taken under the provisions of the contract between Yes Bank and AT1 bondholders, and hence there is no merit in the petitioners’ contentions.
All eyes are now on the Bombay HC.

‘It’s gonna be a massacre’ – Anthony Joshua warned against fighting Tyson Fury by Gypsy King’s US promoter
TYSON FURY'S US promoter Bob Arum has predicted a "massacre" if he faces Anthony Joshua next.
The Gypsy King, 34, is keen to fight AJ before the end of the year.
Joshua has been offered a 40 per cent split of what will be the biggest purse in the history of British boxing.
Fury is keen for the bout to happen in late November or early December but Joshua is stalling over accepting.
And Arum believes the former world champion is unlikely to take the fight following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
Arum told Boxing Social: “I don’t think it’s gonna happen because, while Fury would want it to happen, I put myself in the shoes of Eddie Hearn and Joshua.
"And after losing twice to Usyk, the first thing you want to do is to get him back in the ring and get him two fights where it restores his confidence.
"If he goes back in the ring now with Fury, it’s gonna be a massacre.”
AJ has adopted Usyk's brutal swimming regime in a bid to get back to his best, claiming he "loves a challenge".
But instead of a bout with Fury, his promoter Eddie Hearn is eyeing a rematch against Dillian Whyte, whom he beat in 2015 - or former champion Deontay Wilder.

As result, Arum believes AJ will not go for the Fury fight despite being offered a fair financial package.
Arum added: "I think that [the purse split] is pretty fair, right? I mean, Joshua’s not a champion anymore.
“But again, let’s not jump – I don’t believe that Fury against Joshua will happen this year because everything that I know about boxing, from Joshua’s standpoint, indicates that it won’t happen.”

Student Studying to Become a Doctor Takes Single Sip of Pina Colada, Realizes What Bartender Added to It Before Falling Down Dead
An 18-year-old man who was allergic to dairy products died in Spain this July after he took one sip of a pina colada made with cow’s milk instead of coconut milk.
Shiv Mistry, who had planned to attend Clare College at Cambridge University, went into anaphylactic shock, according to the New York Post.
Mistry, who was on vacation with friends, initially began to sweat, hyperventilate and vomit after partaking of his friend’s drink.
RIP: Brit, 18, dies after taking one sip of Pina Colada on Costa del Sol holiday
A young British man bound for Claire College, Cambridge, sadly died after sipping a pina colada cocktail. Shiv Mistry had only just turned 18 when he died from an allergic reaction pic.twitter.com/MKxyzYI7Oh
— Byron Calloway (@ByronCalloway1) September 8, 2022
Cetirizine, a strong antihistamine, was given to him, but Mistry felt “weak and dazed and requested his friends call the emergency services,” assistant coroner Ian Wade said, according to Metro.
Mistry “then requested an EpiPen and an inhaler. His other friends arrived and one left to guide emergency services to the room,” Wade said.
The Post report said a second EpiPen was used by his friends, and that a defibrillator was used by first responders.
“Each gasp was longer apart until his breathing stopped. They gave him CPR for 20 minutes and someone called his parents on WhatsApp to tell them what had happened,” he said.
‘Shiv was a man, or boy, who knew he had to take care of himself and did take care because he suffered from a dangerous allergy to cow’s milk,” Wade said at the conclusion of the coroner’s hearing, according to the Daily Mail.
“He was invited to take a sip of Pina Colada, a drink which should not have cow’s milk in it. Unbeknownst to Shiv, it was inappropriately made with cow’s milk. He realized he was in peril and he was given EpiPens. He was given immediate attention by friends who raised the alarm,” he said.
Wade said Mistry “passed away after he was effectively brain stem dead.”
Judgish Mistry, the teen’s father, said after the hearing: “There should be more education given to this age group, as they are inexperienced and going out on their own.”
“Shiv was lucky, he had friends who were medically aware and could apply CPR –however, there will be young people going on holiday with friends with no medical knowledge at all,” he said.
“Schools should give medical training to anyone who has a friend that suffers from a life-threatening allergy. What we’re trying to do is make more people aware that this can happen, especially amongst this age group who just want to be like their friends,” he said.
Mistry’s parents said in a statement that they did not blame the friends their son was with at the time.
“We, Shiv’s parents, do not lay any blame on Shiv’s friends who were very courageous and did everything possible to save his life and should be commended during the hearing, if appropriate,” they said in the statement.

Resilient is the word which comes to mind for Joe Williams when thinking about his St Johns Dubbo Under 15s Gold side and they were just that on Saturday.
The Williams-coach under 15s Gold side took out the Group 10 title on Saturday at Mudgee's Glen Willow Stadium, defeating Bloomfield Tigers 20-12.
Not many juniors sides in Western NSW can say they are coached by an ex-NRL star but for Williams, he was just proud to see the group of young men develop as people over the course of the season.
"They are a really resilient bunch of kids, sometimes at the age of 15 going into a grand final it can sit in your head a bit too much and you are worried about the outcome," he said.
"All week I hammered to the boys that nothing changes with our head, it just changes with our body, we just have to run a bit harder and tackle a bit harder.
"There are individuals that are a bit more relaxed and then those who let it sit in their head a bit much, it was a really different dynamic of kids but there are super talented.
"I'm just so happy for them because the team that finished third and fifth were the ones in the grand final, no one expected those teams to be there."
Williams admitted he spent some time away from footy outside watching his children play but said this group of players has reignited his passion for the sport.
"You see how much hard work they put in, they turn up and do anything you ask them no matter how challenging the training session is," he said.
"They are kids who just do what you ask of them as best they can, when they mess up they just try harder."
READ ALSO:
"My coaching philosophy with kids is that it isn't about footy, I think it helps with the work that I do," he said.
"My philosophy is that better people make better players, if I can help you improve your life a little bit, I don't care about results.
"Winning is nice but losing happens too, I just care about those young blokes who at 15 years old are at a crucial point in their lives.
"It's just about making sure their heads are good during the week, looking after them and having safe and vulnerable conversations."
Playing outside their normal Dubbo District Junior Rugby League competition due to there being no under 15s division, St Johns Blue and Gold represented the club during the Group 10 season.
Of the two Dubbo teams, St Johns Blue finished minor premiers but we were knocked out in consecutive weeks.
However, St Johns Gold came from third on the ladder to take the title with Jonah Moss, Matari Kelly, Chase Williams and Darcy Neave all crossing to score in the win.
Playing against new teams was a challenge not only for the squad but for their coach as well, who was often having to change the game plan on the fly.
"It was a good standard of footy but it was also a new challenge each week because you don't know who you are playing against," he said.
"When you play in the same competition your whole life, you know who you are playing against, you know who the best players are and you know what you've got to do.
"Every week we were turning up to play teams we had never seen before so that in itself can create some different challenges around having to change the attention of what you are doing halfway through a game.
"Everything I speak about with our boys is about just trusting the process we are working on, never at any point during the season did we think we couldn't win the comp.
"Everyone else thought that we couldn't do it but we thought we'd always be there on the last game."

New Delhi: India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) has lifted the ban on WazirX accessing its bank accounts, allowing the crypto exchange to resume its banking operations, WazirX said in an online post on Monday.
“Due to the active cooperation extended by Wazir X and active anti-money laundering checks that led to the blocking of suspicious accounts, ED has unfrozen the bank accounts. WazirX is now in a position to continue its banking operations as usual," the post said.

WazirX’s bank accounts worth ₹64.67 crore were frozen last month after the ED launched a money laundering investigation into the crypto exchange’s alleged role in assisting 16 Indian fintech firms and loan apps by transferring money for them to unknown foreign wallets, according to a Mint report.

The crypto exchange has maintained that it cooperated with ED and provided them with all necessary details, information, and documents related to the 16 firms that were using its platform and are being investigated by ED. It also claimed that most of the users whose information was sought by ED were deemed suspicious by the platform and blocked in the last two years.
“WazirX is like any other intermediary whose platform may have been misused," the post said.
WazirX received 1,023 requests from law enforcement agencies between October 2021 and March 2022, up from 377 requests received in the previous six months. Indian law enforcement agencies accounted for 952 of these requests, according to the WazirX semi-annual transparency report published in April. The report showed that 95% of crypto-associated frauds occurred outside the Blockchain ecosystem.

Raised in Doncaster, Yungblud (Dominic Richard Harrison) makes it two in a row, as his latest album emulates the No. 1 best of its 2020 predecessor, Weird!
All three of his studio albums have cracked the U.K. top 10, including the alternative rock artist’s debut The Underrated Youth, which peaked at No. 6.
Though Yungblud is the king of the Official U.K. Chart this week, another king makes this cycle one for the history books.
The Sept. 9 chart is the first published under a king, Charles III, who ascends following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen was crowned in November 1952, a 70-year reign that eclipses the lifetime of the U.K. albums chart by almost four years.
Returning to the albums survey, U.S. thrash metal veterans Megadeth bags a career best with The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead (UMC), its 16th studio album. It’s new at No. 3, for the band’s first top 10 appearance in 28 years, the last being 1994’s Youthanasia, which went to No. 6.
Following an emotional musical dedication to his late wife on The Voice U.K., Tom Jones’s former leader Surrounded By Time (EMI) rebounds into the chart, at No. 13. When the Welsh crooner led the chart with Surrounded By Time in 2021, he became the oldest male to do so, at age at age 80 years and 10 months.
Meanwhile, Foo Fighters’ Greatest Hits (RCA) leaps 44 spots to No. 18 following the all-star Taylor Hawkins tribute concert at London’s Wembley Stadium. The 2004 career-retrospective has a peak position of No. 4.
Finally, several acts enjoy top 40 berths this time including Keane frontman Tom Chaplin (Midpoint at No. 19 via BMG); former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett (Genesis Revisited Live: Seconds Out & More at No. 28 via Century Media); and Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt (Alskar at No. 34 via Cooking Vinyl).

Global Plastic Hot & Cold Pipe Market is valued at approximately USD $million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than % over the forecast period 2022-2028.
The U.S. current-account deficit increased and reached US$ 234.8 billion in Q4 2021. However, the Canadian Dollar exchange (CAD) increased by 29.9% in Q1 22 to reach US$ 294.4 billion, widening the imbalance by US$ 68.6 billion. In the first quarter of 2022, exports of goods and services rose by US$ 27.7 billion, totaling US$ 1.07 trillion. However, the nation’s goods and services deficit decreased to US$ 79.9 billion in June from US$ 87.9 billion in May, which was corrected, a US$ 5.7 billion decrease that indicated some relief. On the other hand, the annual inflation rate in the country hit 8.7%.
Market Overview
A plastic hot & cold pipe is a hollow plastic cylinder or tubular piece that is formed by the usage of plastic. This is a circular cross-section that is adopted for transporting hot & cold liquids and gases, slurries, powders, and masses of small solids and is used in applications such as water plumbing pipes, radiator connection pipes, and underfloor surface heating & cooling.

Factors such as rising government support and incentives for the use of underfloor heating systems, expansion of the construction industry, and increasing initiatives by the leading market players are driving the global market growth. For instance, according to Statista, in 2017, the spending on the construction sector stood at USD 10.9 trillion, which is anticipated to rise to USD 12.5 trillion by the year 2030. Thereby, the development of the construction sector is fueling the demand for plastic hot and cold pipes, which is bolstering the market growth across the globe. However, instability in the raw material prices and the imposition of several restrictions on the usage of polybutylene (PB) piping systems impede the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2022-2028. Also, increasing benefits of corrosion resistance plastic hot and cold pipes compared to metal plumbing and fitting pipes and the growing development of advanced piping systems and methods to detect leaks are anticipated to act as catalyzing factors for the market demand during the forecast period.
The key regions considered for the global Plastic Hot & Cold Pipe Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is the leading region across the world in terms of market share owing to the sustained growth of the construction industry and rise in domestic oil & gas exploration and production activity. Whereas, Europe is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR over the forecast period 2022-2028. Factors such as the development of the industrial sector, and the increasing expenditure on residential construction activities, would create lucrative growth prospects for the Plastic Hot & Cold Pipe Market across the European region.

Man Arrested After Allegedly Beheading a Young Mother in the Middle of the Street in Broad Daylight
In an act of extraordinary brutality, a man in the San Francisco Bay Area beheaded a young woman in the middle of the street Thursday in front of witnesses.
Law enforcement officials told KABC-TV reporter Dan Noyes that the crime took place around 11:50 a.m in San Carlos, a city between San Francisco and San Jose.
“BEHEADING INVESTIGATION: Lt. Eamonn Allen of San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office short on details: no specifics on TRO or domestic violence calls to address. ‘Stabbing instrument’ used in crime still missing. Kids not present at time of killing,” Noyes tweeted.
BEHEADING INVESTIGATION: Lt. Eamonn Allen of San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office short on details: no specifics on TRO or domestic violence calls to address. “Stabbing instrument” used in crime still missing. Kids not present at time of killing… 1/2
— Dan Noyes (@dannoyes) September 8, 2022
“Law enforcement sources tell me two children were home at the time. … Suspect returned ten minutes after deputies arrived and was arrested,” he added in a second tweet.
2/2 Law enforcement sources tell me two children were home at the time. Allen says deputies found victim in the middle of the street and “were a little upset”; being offered peer counseling. Suspect returned ten minutes after deputies arrived and was arrested. pic.twitter.com/HLfECEvZar
— Dan Noyes (@dannoyes) September 8, 2022
Allen provided details during a news conference, KABC reported.
“They arrived within minutes and found an obviously deceased female in the street in that area,” he said. “They began to work the scene and shortly then after, the male suspect arrived back at the scene and was quickly detained by sheriff’s deputies.
“He was later placed under arrest for homicide. We can confirm that a stabbing instrument was used in the commission of the crime. That weapon is still outstanding,” Allen said.
#BREAKING UPDATE: Sources say the victim’s two kids were inside the residence when the brutal crime happened outside on the street. The San Mateo Co. Sheriff’s Department is still looking for the “stabbing instrument” used as the weapon. https://t.co/1Rx9resWT6
— ABC7 News (@abc7newsbayarea) September 9, 2022
KNTV-TV in San Jose quoted “authorities with knowledge of the investigation” as saying the weapon used in the incident was a sword.
“Anytime someone loses their life, it’s certainly a tragedy,” Allen said, according to the outlet. “As far as the shocking nature of it, I do know that the deputies that first arrived on scene were a little beset by the scene. We are providing them peer support. We are also providing support for the witnesses that were on scene as well because there were several civilian witnesses.”
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said the victim was known by the suspect and witnesses had flagged down deputies after seeing an assault in progress.
The name of the victim and arrested suspect were not released as of Friday morning.
— San Mateo County S.O (@SMCSheriff) September 8, 2022
KABC reported that Child Protective Services took custody of two girls, ages 7 and 1, who were inside the house with a dog and two cats.
“We’re told the two were in an ongoing relationship but law enforcement sources say the victim got a temporary restraining order against the suspect,” the report said.
While police were searching for the weapon used in the crime, people who lived near the scene of the crime spoke with KABC.
“Why? Why did it happen?” local resident Terry Adams asked.
Neighbor Chapel Thorborne described the horrific crime scene.
“The head was underneath the car and she was laying in the back of the car — just severed. And they covered her up,” Thorborne told KABC.
Other residents said they were concerned for the kids who were in the house during the crime.

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

‘Akeredolu, Most Qualified to Head S’West Tinubu/Shettima Campaign C’ttee’
Fidelis David in Akure
A former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Ondo State and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign committee, Mr Femi Adekanbi, yesterday, revealed that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, of the state, was the most qualified governor from the South West to head the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign committee in the zone.
The ruling party had created zonal directorates for the six geopolitical zones, each of whichwould be headed by a serving governor. However, multiple sources had confirmed that Akeredolu would oversee the Bola Ahmed/Kashim Shettima Presidential Campaign in the South West.
Speaking with Journalists in Akure, he expressed confidence that if Akeredolu has been pencilled in as the head of the Presidential Campaign in the zone, he would lead the party to victory in the zone.
According to Adekanbi, Akeredolu, being the Chairman of APC South West Governors’ Forum, was the most competent and fit to lead the campaign of the APC presidential campaign, because he was a resourceful, ingenious and practical politician and leader with the knack for getting results where others could not succeed
” I can tell you that Akeredolu is the most qualified, apart from the fact that he is the Chairman of APC governors’ forum. Don’t forget the fact that he has been performing excellently well in that aspect. He championed the call for Southern presidency. Majority of us in the Yoruba land believed that he’s in the best position to lead the race, to champion the course.
“Let me tell you that he’s going to succeed in it and he’s going to come out victorious in all the six states and it is a pride for us in Ondo State to have him as the head of the campaign committee. I want to appeal to all of us in the state, irrespective of our political parties, to join hands with him in ensuring that he comes out victorious.
“He deserves to be the president of this country but he didn’t move towards that path but now that we have a gigantic project before him, we have no choice than letting him lead,” he stressed.
While speaking on the need for various support groups to come together, Adekanbi said the merger would boost the campaign efforts of the Presidential candidate and his running mate.

Queen Elizabeth II's death in Scotland indelibly associates the nation with the handover to a new monarch, but her passing also reignites the debate over Scottish independence from the UK.
Thousands of people stood for hours on Sunday to see the 96-year-old's coffin arrive from her Balmoral estate to Edinburgh's Palace of Holyroodhouse, and the formal proclamation of Charles as king.
But there is a strong vein of republicanism in Scotland, and a few heckles could be heard amid the crowds massed along The Royal Mile.
One 22-year-old woman was detained for a breach of the peace for holding a placard with an obscene anti-monarchy slogan just before the proclamation, while there was also some booing.
For some in the crowd, Elizabeth -- and her son King Charles III -- represent the strength of the United Kingdom of Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
She was "one of the things that held (the UK) together", noted Archie Nicol, 67, who had earlier paid his respects at the royal Balmoral estate where the queen died Thursday.
Yet many others who expressed their admiration for the late monarch saw it as separate from their desire to be an independent nation.
"The queen clearly had a respect for Scotland," said Nicola Sandilands, 46, a primary teacher.
"The royal family is as much Scottish as they are anything else," she told AFP, while urging them to become "more relevant and current".
However, she acknowledged that the monarch's death "will maybe make it easier to become a republic".
"Some Scots will consider this end of an era a natural moment for a fresh start," Scottish journalist Alex Massie wrote in The Times.
- Queen of Scots -
The governing Scottish National Party (SNP), which wants another independence referendum following the 2014 "no" vote, is not calling for a republic.
Its founder Alex Salmond coined the term "Queen of Scots" and built close ties with Charles.
And SNP First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was quick to express her "deepest condolences" when the queen died, praising her "extraordinary dedication and service".
But the transition to another monarch based in England -- albeit one educated at a Scottish boarding school, with several Scottish residences and a penchant for kilts -- risks fraying ties.
"The Union is probably in more jeopardy now she is gone," noted veteran journalist Andrew Neil in the Daily Mail newspaper.
"King Charles will love Scotland just as much as the queen. But he simply doesn't have her authority."
A poll by the British Future think tank in June suggested that 45 percent of Scots supported the monarchy while 36 percent wanted a republic.
Meanwhile, 51 percent wanted to stay as part of the United Kingdom.
- Discretion -
Before becoming king, Charles was known for speaking out on a range of issues, including climate change -- a stance praised by Scotland's Daily Record tabloid, which urged him to make the environment his "defining mission" as king.
But as constitutional monarch, he will have to steer clear of anything remotely political, particularly independence.
"The passing of the Crown is a moment of frailty, perhaps even fragility," Adam Tomkins, a constitutional lawyer and professor at the University of Glasgow, noted in The Herald newspaper.
The "burning question", he said, was whether Charles could "emulate his mother in maintaining the discretion by which the monarchy stands or falls".
Queen Elizabeth II never spoke out about independence, although before the 2014 referendum, she told a member of the public she hoped Scots would "think very carefully about the future".
Then-prime minister David Cameron was caught saying that she "purred down the phone" when he reported victory for the anti-independence campaign -- an indiscretion for which he subsequently apologised.
- Scottish audience -
Charles will have his first audience with Sturgeon on Monday when he returns to Scotland to lead a procession of his mother's coffin to St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, and then hold a vigil.
On Tuesday, her coffin will be flown to London for four days of lying-in-state ahead of the funeral on September 19.
Charles will also visit Northern Ireland and then Wales, completing his tour of all four nations in the UK.
Back in Edinburgh, Theresa Brown, a 51-year-old receptionist, said she was happy for him to stay Scotland's king.
"It's mainly from Westminster I want independence. I don't mind the royal family," she said.

A family affair: How the Queen's nearest and dearest came together to celebrate the monarch's Platinum Jubilee this Summer
- Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, died last week at the age of 96 in Balmoral
- Became Queen on Feb 6 1952 aged 25, when her father George VI died and had unprecedented 70-year reign
- Members of the family came together over the Platinum Jubilee weekend earlier this year
- Full coverage: Click here to see all our coverage of the Queen’s passing
The Queen was considered by many in the United Kingdom to be a mother and grandmother to the entire nation.
But to a small group, her Majesty was first and foremost the matriarch of their own family.
The monarch, who died 'peacefully', aged 96, at Balmoral in Scotland last week, was a mother to four, grandmother to eight, and great grandmother to 12 great-grandchildren.
And while members of the family often find themselves spread across the country, or even the world, as they undertake royal duties, earlier this year, they were able to come together to celebrate the Queen's 70-year reign.
The unprecedented Platinum Jubilee, which spread over a four-day weekend from June 2-5, saw the 96-year-old celebrate her remarkable seven decades on the throne.
A family affair: King Charles, the Queen, Prince Louis, Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte, Prince George, Prince William on the balcony at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June

And while her Majesty appeared in good spirits as she celebrated with the nation, perhaps the most special aspect of the event was bringing her family together.
The celebration saw the Queen's beloved great grandchildren, who knew the monarch as 'Granny' or 'Gan-Gan', became the focus of many royal followers, thanks to their adorable antics throughout the long weekend.
Among the touching moments, her Majesty was snapped sharing a smile with Prince George during her second balcony appearance on the final day of the celebrations.
The nine-year-old was pictured turning to chat to his great-grandmother, as the two smiled at each other.
And while only Prince George will know exactly what was said during the special moment, the warmth between the two royals was clear for all to see.
The Queen and Prince Louis, four, stood side-by-side on the Buckingham Palace balcony on June 2, chatting as the flypast roared above them, revealing their close bond

He was not the only great-grandchild who was snapped enjoying Her Majesty's company: several days earlier, as celebrations kicked off with a Buckingham Palace appearance on June 2, the Queen's bond with Prince Louis, four, also became clear.
While royals watched the noisy flypast roar above head, the youngster pushed his way along the balcony, so he could talk to his 'Gan Gan'.
And there was another moment with a great-grandchild during the weekend: privately, her Majesty was introduced to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter Lilibet, who had recently celebrated her first birthday.
The Jubilee also showcased the relationship the Queen shared with her oldest child, King Charles, during a speech he gave following the Platinum Party at the Palace.
The June 4 event, which saw Sir Rod Stewart, Diana Ross and Duran Duran perform for thousands in front of Buckingham Palace, was capped off with a rousing speech by Charles.
King Charles (centre, with his wife Camilla, left, and sister Princess Anne, right) at the Platinum Party at the Palace, gave a sweet speech at the event, in which he referred to the Queen as 'Mummy'
The event saw other members of the royal family in attendance, including Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and their husbands Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank
Earlier in the day, Beatrice (pictured) and Eugenie stepped out together again for the Big Jubilee Lunch in Paddington

In it, he thanked his mother for her 70-years of service.
He opened the speech calling the Queen 'Your Majesty', before touchingly adding 'Mummy'.
Charles went onto say: 'Your family now spans four generations. You are our Head of State. And you are also our mother.'
Other royals watched on, with Camilla, Zara and Mike Tindall and Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice and their husbands, the Princess Royal, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex along with their children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn also in attendance.
Another sweet moment from the evening was captured on camera when members of the family saw the Queen's now famous skit with Paddington Bear for the first time.
The pre-recorded clip, which shows Her Majesty having tea with the animated character, showcased the monarch's acting skills.

Louis (pictured, centre) appears to shared a special bond with his great-grandmother the Queen, who was seen entertaining the young royal during Trooping the Colour
Filmed at Windsor Castle, the Queen spent around half a day filming the secretly-pre-recorded humorous two-and-a-half-minute sequence, according to The Telegraph, and the comic sketch was a surprise even to some of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren watching the scenes.
In the video, the Queen is seen pulling a marmalade sandwich out of her bag, as she and Paddington reveal they always keep one on their person in case they need a snack.
Photos of the exact moment Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children watched the Queen pull a sandwich from her bag to eat with Paddington Bear show them laughing with joy.
Although the monarch was unable to attend every event over the four-day Platium Jubilee long weekend, she bookended the celebration with her appearances on Buckingham Palace's balcony.
Princess Beatrice (left) wore a blue midi-dress with pearl button detail from Beulah (£775), while her sister Eugenie (right) went for a striking orange dress from Emilia Wickstead (£1,630) at Friday's service

'While I may not have attended every event in person, my heart has been with you all; and I remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family.
'I have been inspired by the kindness, joy and kinship that has been so evident in recent days, and I hope this renewed sense of togetherness will be felt for many years to come.
'I thank you most sincerely for your good wishes and for the part you have all played in these happy celebrations.'
Prince Louis joined his grandfather, who pointed out some of the spectacles on display in the parade

As the invading Kremlin army continues to wreck Ukrainian towns and cities, the Armed Forces of the war-ravaged nation have claimed to kill more than 31,250 Russian troops since the commencement of the Russia-Ukraine war in late February. The Ukrainian Armed Forces further revealed that the Russian army has lost over 1,386 tanks, 3,400 armoured combat vehicles, as well as 690 artillery systems.
According to the Kyiv Independent, apart from this, the attackers have suffered other weaponry losses which include 207 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), 96 anti-aircraft warfare, 211 fighter planes, 176 helicopters, 2,395 vehicles and fuel tankers, 13 ships or boats, 551 unmanned aerial vehicles, 53 special units, and 125 cruise missiles between the period February 24 and June 6.
These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of June 6, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/tSzIEi9zjN

Furthermore, on Monday, Ukraine has been able to seize control of "half of" Severodonetsk city, the largest in the Donbass area, in a successful effort to push Russian soldiers back. The city has become the newest hotspot between the two sides. This came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy paid a visit to the besieged territory on Sunday, which Moscow has currently claimed to be its "priority" in the war. Ukraine's president spoke with frontline fighters, hailing them as "true heroes."
In addition to this, Serhiy Haidai, the regional administration chief of Luhansk Oblast, alleged that Russian forces had set a deadline of June 10 to capture Ukraine's Severodonetsk city. He went on to say that the Ukrainian troops had retaken half of the city and detained at least eight occupants. His remarks came as both nations' armies engaged in a ferocious struggle in Ukraine's eastern territories.
"Severodonetsk is conditionally divided in half, Russian forces are putting out every effort to finish their mission in the region", Haidai asserted on Telegram. He added, "The Russian troops are making all efforts to complete their task in the region. They did not expect such resistance from Ukraine and kept on spreading lies about capturing the city," as per media reports.
The regional head of Luhansk also charged Russian soldiers with robbing the area, claiming that "they took away everything they had not seen before."
While the Russian army is continuing to target numerous Ukrainian cities, including Donbas and Severodonetsk, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence said the enemy bombed rail infrastructure in Kyiv on June 5 in its daily intelligence report. It was an effort, according to the report, to sabotage the flow of Western military weapons to frontline Ukrainian battalions.
Heavy fighting continues in the besieged town of Severodonetsk, as Russian forces continue to press towards Sloviansk in an effort to encircle Ukrainian soldiers, according to the report.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti are currently enjoying a romantic trip to New York City together.
The 2022 Love Island winners have got straight to work after being crowned the winners of the show as they flew across the pond.
It's thought the pair are over there for New York Fashion Week as they went to a Boohoo MAN event following Davide reportedly securing a six-figure deal with the brand.
However, the couple have managed to squeeze in some quality time together and they take in the sights of the city.
Davide and Ekin-Su have been documenting their trip on their Instagram page which has included strolling through Central Park and taking in the views of the city.

Posting clips from up One Vanderbilt, the duo showed their followers the New York City skyline on a clear day from the 93-story building.
It seems Ekin-Su and Davide are doing all the typical activities in the city which included strolling around Central Park with an ice cream.
However, this didn't go quite as planned as soon after sharing a series of snaps holding their ice creams, Ekin-Su then shared a clip showing that she'd dropped it on the ground.
Davide went on to enjoy some alone time as he posted a video of him flexing his muscles in a gym mirror.
However, the couple weren't apart for long as they went on to enjoy smoothies together and went to the Public Hotel rooftop and garden.
Enjoying the New York views at nighttime Davide and Ekin-Su enjoyed drinks at the rooftop bar.
It seems their night came to an end following that as Ekin-Su took to her Instagram stories to share a selfie of the loved up pair in bed.
The trip comes after cheating rumours emerged after Davide was spotted getting into a taxi with two other women while Ekin-Su was working in Los Angeles.
However, it seems it was all a misunderstanding as the duo appeared on ITV's This Morning and set the record straight.
Host Phillip Schofield said: "The trouble is, you are very strong the pair of you which is great and helps if you are pictured in a cab with two Icelandic ladies."
Davide replied: "It's not been nice for her to be in this situation, but we were speaking all night...so she knew the truth."
Ekin-Su said: "I was on a shoot; I think it was nighttime and I had fans going 'Ekin your man has been seen with two girls' and I immediately text Davide going 'what's going on?' and I called him, and we spoke, and I know from the club that he went to there was a bunch of people as well."
She went on to defend her boyfriend explaining 'there was only limited cabs' and he was in a larger group of people.
However, it seems that the pair have moved on from the situation and are as loved up as ever.

Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri flipped showed the middle finger to a Verona coaching staff after the former Chelsea boss's side scored in the Serie A clash between the two sides. The Italian tactician's side got back to winning ways after suffering their first loss of the season last week.
According to DAZN, Sarri was seen arguing with Verona's manager Alessandro Mazzola, but the finger was for another coaching staff.
Ciro Immobile scored the opening goal in the 68th minute, while the clash between the managers happened five minutes later.
Lazio sealed the win over Verona deep into stoppage time when Luis Alberto scored from the edge of the box in the 95th minute. The Spaniard had a lot to do, but his inch-perfect shot rolled past the keeper Lorenzo Montipo after beating a couple of defenders.
Lazio off to a good start under former Chelsea manager
Lazio have made a good start to the season under former Chelsea manager Sarri and are sitting sixth in the league table. They have won three of their six matches, while losing just once.
Speaking to DAZN after the match against Verona, Sarri praised his players for the win and said:
"It was a tough game. Last season we collected five points after the eight Europa League games and we averaged two points per game in the other matches. In the end, our season was affected by that [European matches]. It is difficult for everyone to play in Europe, also abroad. Bayern got a 2-2 draw against a low-table team. It is difficult and last season, we made life even more challenging for ourselves.
"I am satisfied because it was a tough game. You need patience against Verona, especially if you don't score immediately. They made 24-25 fouls throughout the game, we made something like five."
Sarri managed Chelsea for just one season and won the Europa League by beating Arsenal 4-1 in the final that took place in Baku. He returned to Italy to join Juventus, where he was sacked a season later, despite winning the Serie A title and was replaced by Andrea Pirlo.

PODGORICA – At the government headquarters in NATO-member Montenegro, the computers are unplugged, the internet is switched off and the state's main websites are down. The blackout comes amid a massive cyberattack against the small Balkan state which officials say bears the hallmark of pro-Russian hackers and its security services.
The coordinated attack that started around Aug. 20 crippled online government information platforms and put Montenegro's essential infrastructure, including banking, water and electricity power systems, at high risk.
The attack, described by experts as unprecedented in its intensity and the longest in the tiny nation’s recent history, capped a string of cyberattacks since Russia invaded Ukraine in which hackers targeted Montenegro and other European nations, most of them NATO members.
Sitting at his desk in Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica, in front of a blackened PC screen, Defense Minister Rasko Konjevic said government officials were advised by cyber experts, including a team of FBI investigators that was dispatched to the Balkan state, to go offline for security reasons.
“We have been faced with serious challenges related to the cyberattack for about 20 days, and the entire state system, the system of state administration, and the system of services to citizens are functioning at a rather restrictive level,” Konjevic told The Associated Press.
He said experts from several countries are trying to help restore the Montenegro government's computer system and find proof of who is behind the attack.
Montenegro officials said the attack that crippled the government’s digital infrastructure was likely carried out by a Russian-speaking ransomware gang that generally operates without Kremlin interference as long as it doesn’t target Russian allies. The gang, called Cuba ransomware, claimed responsibility for at least part of the Montenegro cyberattack, in which it created a special virus for the attack called Zerodate.
Montenegro’s Agency for National Security blamed the attack squarely on Russia.
Russia has a strong motive for such an attack because Montenegro, which it once considered a strong ally, joined NATO in 2017 despite the Kremlin's opposition. It has also joined Western sanctions against Moscow over the Ukraine invasion, which led Moscow to brand Montenegro an “enemy state” along with several other countries that joined the embargo.
“In such attacks, there are usually organizations that are a mask for state intelligence services,” Konjevic said, adding that the defense ministry's NATO-related data is protected “in a special way” while the other possible leaks “are being investigated.”
The cyberattack comes amid an apparent attempt by Moscow to destabilize the Balkan region that was at war in the 1990s through the Kremlin's Balkan ally Serbia, and thus at least partly shift the world's attention from the war in Ukraine.
Montenegro, which split from much larger Serbia in 2006, is currently run by an interim government that has lost parliamentary support because of Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic ’s shady deals with the influential Serbian Orthodox Church without the consent of the whole coalition that supported the government.
Montengro's roughly 620,000 people are deeply split between those who want the country to restore its close ties to Serbia and Russia and those who want it to continue on its path of the European Union membership.
“A real war is being waged in Ukraine, with bombs, a war of conquest by Russia,” political analyst Zlatko Vujovic said. “Something similar is happening in Montenegro. There are no bombs, but there is a huge tension, a huge hybrid conflict in which the interests of Russia and its and Serbian intelligence services are interconnected.”
Other Eastern European states deemed enemies of Russia have also faced cyberattacks, mostly nuisance-level denial-of-service campaigns that render websites unreachable by flooding them with junk data but don’t damage them. Targets have included networks in Moldova, Slovenia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Albania.
Last week, Albania severed diplomatic relations with Iran and kicked out its diplomats after a cyberattack in July that it blamed on the Islamic Republic.
“Montenegro remains a target within both the public and private sector, as well as many other countries in that region," said Patrick Flynn, head of the advanced programs group at Trellix, a U.S.-based cybersecurity company. “We have observed a blend of historically based nation state actors and well-known ransomware groups."
“This recent focus on NATO member countries reinforces the need for hyper vigilance within key businesses as well as government (and) critical infrastructure cyber security environments,” he said in an email to the AP.

Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and now Brahmastra – It has been a fascinating run for Alia Bhatt in 2022 with her turning out to be the only actress with as many as three biggies to her name and each of it setting records at the box office. First came Gangubai Kathiawadi which opened theatres this year by not just taking a good opening but also sustaining well to hit a big century. Then came RRR which was of course a film about NTR Jr. and Ram Charan but did manage to entice audiences due to her presence. Now it’s Brahmastra and it’s as huge as it gets.
The Ayan Mukherji directed film has scored a big century in its opening weekend and in the process has turned out to be Alia Bhatt’s biggest ever opener, and that too by a huge margin. If one compares the numbers with Alia’s persona best when it comes to a Bollywood film, it has done more than double of Gully Boy. This isn’t all. When compared to Gangubai Kathiawadi weekend, the film has netted almost three times in its first 3 days. In fact the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film had scored 129.10 crores in its lifetime which has been surpassed as you read this.
This is how the Top-10 weekend openers of Alia Bhatt look like:
Brahmastra – 122 crores*
RRR [Hindi] – 75.57 crores
Gully Boy – 51.15 crores
Kalank – 44.65 crores
Badrinath Ki Dulhania – 43.05 crores
Gangubai Kathiawadi – 39.12 crores
2 States – 37.62 crores
Udta Punjab – 33.80 crores
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania – 33.74 crores

Raazi – 32.93 crores

In her entire career spanning 15 films, Alia Bhatt has delivered just two flops [Kalank, Shaandaar] and to think of it, Kalank still managed a very good opening of 44.65 crores (though it came falling down from Saturday itself). All other films have managed to make good money at the box office and now it has to be seen whether Brahmastra would turn out to be Alia Bhatt’s personal best ever as well by challenging RRR [Hindi] lifetime score of 274.31 crores.
*Estimates, Final numbers awaited
