Retired nurse saves baby’s life on flight: ‘I’m glad I was there’
ORLANDO (WESH) - A retired nurse jumped into action and saved a 3-month-old infant who had stopped breathing during a flight.
Tamara Panzino was already in vacation mode 35 minutes into her Spirit Airlines flight Thursday night from Pittsburgh to Orlando.
“I was reading my book, not paying attention, had my ear buds in, and I heard a flight attendant say, ‘We have an infant not breathing,’” Panzino said.
Soon after, an announcement came over the speaker, asking if there was a doctor on board. Panzino, a retired registered nurse, got up and ran to the back of the plane to help the 3-month-old girl.
“I didn’t know what I was dealing with. I saw an infant. The head was back and blue lips, and my heart just dropped,” Panzino said.
Even though Panzino is retired, her years of nursing experience kicked in. A round of questions revealed the infant was just lying still when she stopped breathing.
“Gave daddy the baby, held it while I did a sternal rub, kind of an aggressive shake of the chest… trying to make it cry, take a deep breath,” Panzino said.
The group then moved to the front of the plane
“The baby’s color started looking better. I was so glad, but I kept shaking it aggressively,” Panzino said.
Panzino did not have to perform CPR and calls the response a team effort.
“Spirit Airlines had everything we needed right on board, and before we knew it, within a couple minutes, we were home free. The baby was going to be good. The color came back. I heard breathing sounds, a heartbeat. Total relief,” Panzino said.
She is pushing back on being called a hero.
“It’s not a hero thing. It’s a community coming together and everyone volunteering to do what their knowledge can help them do. I’m glad I was there,” she said.
After a day to decompress, Panzino was ready for her and her husband’s Caribbean cruise out of Port Canaveral over the weekend.
Spirit Airlines released a statement thanking Panzino and the crew for their quick response.

Why is King Charles III reign called ‘the Carolean era’?
KING Charles has become the oldest British monarch to ascend to the throne at the age of 73.
After being heir to his mother for 70 years, many are eagerly anticipating the changes to come during King Charles reign. But what can you expect?
Why is King Charles III reign called 'the Carolean era'?
The Carolean era began after King Charles ascended to the throne, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II on September, 8, 2022.
The word 'Carolean' comes from the name Charles.
The names used to categorise the eras of different monarchs usually stem from their names.
Before Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952, her father, King George IV reign was called 'the Georgian era'.
Then, before that, King Edward VIII reign was known as 'the Edwardian era'.
The Carolean era is no different for King Charles.
What does Carolean mean?
The word Carolean was first used during the reign of King Charles II in the 1600s.
The first King Charles reigned between 1625 to 1649 and his reign was known as 'the Caroline era'.
The name Caroline came from the word 'Carolus' which is Latin for Charles.
It is because of the passing down of his name that we refer to King Charles III reign as the Carolean era.

What was Queen Elizabeth II's reign called?
Queen Elizabeth II's reign was known as the Elizabethan era.
This was the second Elizabethan era in history, as Queen Elizabeth I presided over the first Elizabethan era between 1558 and 1603.
The Elizabethan era came to an end after 70 years on Thursday, September, 8, 2022.
King Charles reign will not only see a change in the name of the era.
We will also see a change to our money, passports, and national anthem.
The national anthem has undergone the official name alteration, from "God Save The Queen" to "God Save The King".
The newly changed national anthem has already been sung at several events across the country, including at the third Test Cricket match between England and South Africa on Sunday, September, 11, 2022.

"I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings – from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren.
"I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between. You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over."
Prince Harry also paid tribute to King Charles III, honouring his father as he took steps toward his "new role".
The Duke of Sussex wrote: "And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III."
He concluded his tribute to the Queen by thanking her for her commitment, writing: "Thank you for your commitment to service. Thank you for your sound advice. Thank you for your infectious smile.
"We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace."

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Monday that her government will not be pursuing any moves toward changing New Zealand to a republic following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Ardern said she thought New Zealand would eventually become a republic, and it would probably happen within her lifetime, but that there were more pressing issues for her government to pursue.
Her comments represent the first time she has spoken about the New Zealand republic debate since Elizabeth's death, and reflect previous comments she has made on the issue. Ardern has also previously expressed her support for the country eventually becoming a republic.
Under the current system, the British monarch remains New Zealand's head of state, represented in New Zealand by a governor-general. The governor-general's role is these days considered primarily ceremonial.
Still, many people argue New Zealand won't be able to fully step out from the shadows of its colonialist past and become a truly independent nation until it does become a republic.
“There's been a debate, probably for a number of years,” Ardern said. "It's just the pace, and how widely that debate is occurring. I've made my view plain many times. I do believe that is where New Zealand will head, in time. I believe it is likely to occur in my lifetime.
“But I don't see it as a short-term measure or anything that is on the agenda any time soon,” Ardern said.
She said that becoming a republic was not something her government planned to discuss at any point.
“As I say, in large part actually because I've never sensed the urgency,” Ardern said. “There are so many challenges we face. This is a large, significant debate. I don't think it's one that would or should occur quickly."
Many people in New Zealand have speculated in the past that the republic debate would gather momentum only after the death of Elizabeth, given how beloved she was by so many.
Ardern said she didn't link the two events: “I've never attached it in that way,” she said.
Ardern also announced Monday that New Zealand would mark the death of Elizabeth with a public holiday on Sept. 26. The nation will also hold a state memorial service on the same day in the capital, Wellington.
Ardern said Elizabeth was an extraordinary person and many New Zealanders would appreciate the opportunity to mark her death and celebrate her life.
“As New Zealand’s queen and much-loved sovereign for over 70 years, it is appropriate that we mark her life of dedicated public service with a state memorial service and a one-off public holiday,” Ardern said.
Ardern said she would be leaving this week for Britain to attend Elizabeth’s funeral.

Dental practices can use the tools as a guide to make their work more environmentally sustainable and by tracking progress they can achieve recognition awards for their efforts.
GENEVA, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) today launched a Toolkit for Sustainable Dentistry, to help dental practices understand what actions they can take to ensure their work is environmentally sustainable. By providing dentists and dental teams with the tools and strategies to implement greener practices, as well as track progress, FDI hopes to contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the profession in a tangible way.
The toolkit was developed further to the release of a Consensus Statement on Environmentally Sustainable Oral Healthcare, earlier this year, which outlines the challenges and solutions to improving sustainability in dentistry. It also recognizes that the oral healthcare sector has a responsibility to provide environmentally sustainable care without compromising patient welfare.
"Dentists and dental teams can play an active role in reducing the environmental impact of dentistry, while safeguarding optimal patient care. This online Toolkit for Sustainable Dentistry is a step towards helping dental practices adopt measures to reduce their carbon footprint." said Prof. Ihsane Ben Yahya, FDI President. She continued "I hope that our work today will have a positive impact on our future generations so that they can enjoy a healthy life and planet."
The toolkit was developed as part of FDI's Sustainability in Dentistry project, and consists of an interactive platform that guides users to drive their activities towards more sustainable practices by providing them with practical solutions. Dentists and their teams can undertake different sets of challenges and subsequently earn bronze, silver, or gold recognition awards for their practice. The interactive challenges will give dental teams the tools to raise awareness, implement changes and become more environmentally sustainable. Dental organizations and practices, all around the world, are encouraged to register and make eco-friendly choices as a team to showcase their commitment to our planet.

POLICE have vowed to continue the search for a missing three-year-old who vanished from his foster gran's garden eight years ago.
William Tyrrell was last seen wearing his beloved Spider-Man suit while playing hide and seek with his sister in Kendall, New South Wales.
The youngster, dubbed "Australia's Madeleine McCann", mysteriously disappeared on September 12, 2014.
Nearly a decade on, no trace of him has ever been found and no one has been charged in connection with the cold case.
But investigators are still determinedly trying to piece together William's disappearance as they continue to prepare a brief for the coroner.
On the eighth anniversary of the day the toddler went missing, Strike Force Rosann detectives said their probe is "very much active".
Homicide Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said: "Every effort is – and should be – channelled toward finding William Tyrrell.
"The Homicide Squad’s Strike Force Rosann is continuing to prepare a brief for the information of the Coroner for the purpose of determining what happened to William eight years ago today.
"Our investigation is very much active and ongoing, and while I won’t go into specifics, I can assure the community that various activities, including those under Coronial Orders, are being undertaken every day.
"We are working with a large volume of information, and it is necessary to methodically explore and exhaust every line of inquiry; and that is a protracted process.
Most read in The US Sun
"This is all for William, and if it takes time and effort to get it right, it’s worth it."
The hunt for the three-year-old was renewed by cops in November last year after new evidence emerged.
Forensics dug up the garden at his foster grandparent's home in search of William's remains.
Officers drained a nearby creek, examined a concrete slab laid after the incident and sifted through the soil with huge sieves.
They found an old hessian bag buried at the home they suspected could point to the boy's whereabouts, along with five other clues.
Cops had already revealed they were focusing on a new suspect in September last year.
But it didn't lead to any apparent breakthroughs and the operation was often hindered by heavy rainfall.
William’s foster parents - who cannot be identified - denied any involvement in his disappearance, but have since been accused of assault in a separate case.
Police said the foster mother kicked a girl, hit her with a wooden spoon and suggested if a child defecated on the floor, she would rub her face in it.
William’s foster father is also accused of “grabbing” the girl’s neck, according to The Australian.
Every effort is – and should be – channelled toward finding William Tyrrell.
Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty
The youngster's foster mother was also charged with stalking, intimidation and another assault charge.
His foster father also faces charges of stalking and intimidation.
The explosive allegations were made public after a court order was lifted following an appeal by lawyers representing the media.
After discovering William had vanished eight years ago, police flagged two suspicious cars seen parked on the street earlier that day.
William's biological parents remained unaware for hours as their son was reported missing and a dramatic search for him began.
William's biological grandmother - who has not been named - previously told local news the investigation has been "shambolic".
She said: "The foster care people, they knew everything and we knew nothing.
"We were just having a little picnic - out jumps the foster care mother… and starts giving the kids lollipops and Kinder Surprises.
"So she was just like watching what's going on.
"My son used to always say he was too scared to love his kids… he was too scared to love them for an hour of supervised visits.
"He's not alive. I knew he wasn't alive for the last seven years. So, I'm just scared."
Police said William's foster parents are persons of interest in the case and are offering a £538,000 reward for new information.

Some LA County employees racked up personal miles in take-home work vehicles
LOS ANGELES - It's a gas pump perk that many of us wish we had. A FOX 11 investigation found LA County employees racked up personal miles in their home-assigned cars.
FOX 11 put in a Public Records Act request for county-home-assigned vehicles for the years 2020 and 2021. Those were both pandemic years, and there were months when the county was under a stay-at-home order.
But even so, FOX 11's investigation found instances where the county seemed to ignore its own policy. On top of that, there were dozens of examples of home-assigned vehicles in 2020 and 2021 that went to employees who racked up personal miles but rarely used them for business.
One example, a staff with the County's Board of Supervisors used the county vehicle for almost 26,000 personal miles but only drove it for 670 business miles. FOX 11 sent these findings to the government transparency group, Open the Books.
The group's CEO, Adam Andrzejewski, crunched the numbers and said the county could be shelling out more than $1 million a year on cars that are used mostly for commutes – not so much for business.
"LA County has a lot of problems, and every dime that goes into a taxpayer-provided vehicle from supervisor over at the board or they are a chief of staff or employees, that is a dollar that is not being spent on the problems in LA County," Andrzejewski said.
Below are some of the highlights of the data collected by FOX 11 on how much a Los Angeles County staff drove in their work vehicles:
- Board of Supervisor staff: 11,277 personal miles, 0 business miles
- District Attorney's Office staff: 22,227 personal miles, 137 business miles
- District Attorney's Office staff: 18,822 personal miles, 233 business miles
Los Angeles County could not tell FOX 11 how many fill-ups were paid for by the taxpayer, saying it varied by department.
The department confirmed that county policy stipulates county vehicles should only be assigned to those who drive more than 5,000 business miles a year but said most of the supervisors' field deputies get them but did not elaborate on why.
"Right now, taxpayers in L.A. County, they're just not getting respect. The county needs to crack down under existing rules in place and hold the agencies accountable to those rules," Andrzejewski said.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner made it clear that he wanted out of Old Trafford during the last transfer window, but links to leading clubs in Europe – such as Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Roma – delivered no deal before another deadline passed. The only formal offers put to the Portuguese superstar came from the Middle East, with further approaches from that region expected to be made in the months ahead.
WHAT THEY SAID: Yasser Al-Misehal, president of the Saudi Arabian FA, has told The Athletic of bids being made for an all-time great: “We would love to see a player like Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the Saudi League. It would bring a huge positive feedback and it would be big news for everyone. I'm sure everyone knows the achievements and records of Cristiano Ronaldo, but also as a player who is a great role model.
“I think, 'Why not?'. I'm sure it would be a very expensive deal, of course, but we can see our clubs getting higher revenues in the past couple of years. We have already see some big players who used to play in the Premier League come to the Saudi League. I like Cristiano Ronaldo as a player and I would like to see him play in Saudi Arabia.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ronaldo, who had been hoping to find a Champions League stage to grace in 2022-23, has found himself restricted to a substitute role under Erik ten Hag through the early stages of the new season.
AND WHAT'S MORE: He could make another push for the exits in January, with Al-Misehal adding on the chances of a Saudi deal being put in place then: “To be honest, I don't have the answer. If I was the president of a club, I could give you the answer. But my colleagues at the clubs don't have to share their negotiations with me.
“It wouldn't be an easy transaction for a Saudi club or even for him, but we would love to see him or even some other top players of the same level.”
STORY IN THREE PHOTOS:
DID YOU KNOW? Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 20+ club goals in 16 consecutive seasons in all competitions.
WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO? The 37-year-old has started just two games across all competitions for United this season, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga and Antony filling attacking berths in the Red Devils’ plans.

Antony Cotton is one of Coronation Street's most renowned faces.
The soap star has played Sean Tully on the Cobbles since 2003. The character was embraced into Eileen Grimshaw's family when he became the first male machinist at Underworld and has been a mainstay on the ITV show ever since.
Sean has endured a rollercoaster ride during his time on Weatherfield and one of his most dramatic storylines came when he agreed to impregnate Violet Wilson. This was under the condition that Sean wouldn't play a part in the child's upbringing, but he backtracked on the agreement when Dylan was born.

Dylan moved away from Weatherfield to live with his mum in London. However, he has since had a change of heart and he moved back to the Cobbles to live with his dad permanently.
Away from Weatherfield, Antony enjoys a happy relationship with long term partner Peter Eccleston. The couple exchanged rings in 2010 to show their commitment to one another, but didn't have a civil ceremony.
Peter works as a prop buyer behind the scenes on Coronation Street and is the nephew of former Doctor Who star, Christopher Eccleston. Antony is part of a big showbiz family as his mum, Enid Dunn, has also graced our screens.
Enid has played multiple roles in Corrie as she appeared as Joan Lawson in 2002, a year before Antony joined the cast. The NHS volunteer has also appeared as Maureen Rothwell in 2014 - as well as two unnamed roles in 2006 and 2011.
Enid also had a recurring role as Joyce in Peter Kay's classic sitcom, Phoenix Nights. The actress also appeared in Merseybeat in 2001, which was a police procedural show filmed in the region.

Herschel Walker Is the Saddest Senate Candidate I’ve Ever Seen
The Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Georgia, Herschel Walker, last week sent out what might be the saddest tweet in the history of American politics. It’s emblematic of a campaign that is among the saddest in recent political history.
While criticizing his opponent, incumbent Democratic Sen. Rafael Warnock, for “calling law enforcement ‘thugs and bullies,’” Walker tweeted that he “was proud to serve the blue as an Honorary Agent and Special Deputy Sheriff of Cobb County for many years.”
Herschel Walker’s Campaign Knows He’s a Liar and They Don't Care
Attached to the tweet was a picture featuring Walker’s certification as a “Special Deputy Sheriff.” It looked very much like a designation that law enforcement might hand out to children. Or, as one member of Congress put it, “My son got a Paw Patrol badge. Think that gives you both the same authority.”
While @ReverendWarnock was calling law enforcement "thugs and bullies" I was proud to serve the blue as an Honorary Agent and Special Deputy Sheriff of Cobb County for many years. pic.twitter.com/3wf7ay5JmB
— Herschel Walker (@HerschelWalker) August 30, 2022
Last June, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote about Walker’s tendency for exaggeration when it comes to his alleged law enforcement background, and quoted a former DeKalb County District Attorney pointing out that an “honorary” deputy is "like a junior ranger badge.”
This isn’t Walker’s first mistruth about his law enforcement background. In 2017 Walker claimed, “I’ve been in criminal justice all my life.” In 2013 he said, “I spent time at Quantico at the FBI training school. Y’all didn’t know I was an agent?”
None of these statements are true. Repeatedly, news outlets have pointed out Walker’s tendency for exaggeration, and yet that didn’t stop him from repeating the lie again and exposing himself to even more ridicule.
Walker’s campaign is increasingly a train wreck, but one that emits sadness and wonderment—not only because those closest to Walker aren’t stepping in to rescue him, but because he has a 50/50 chance of actually getting elected.
Walker is a lousy candidate who is manifestly unqualified for the job he is seeking. Before announcing his candidacy last year he never evinced any interest in public policy or government service. The only reason he’s even in the running for a Senate seat is that he was a star running back at the University of Georgia and won the Heisman Trophy four decades ago. The last time Walker was relevant, the Soviet Union was still going strong. Of course, there’s also the fact that Donald Trump endorsed him for the job.
To be sure, there are plenty of bad candidates this election cycle who are new to the world of electoral democracy (I’m looking at you, Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters)—and who have won their nominations because of Trump’s support.
What’s different about Walker are the legitimate and increasingly awkward questions about whether years of playing football affected his mental acuity. Walker isn’t simply clueless about the issues he would have to tackle were he to be elected. He holds childlike views and struggles to communicate in even a semi-coherent manner.
Over the summer, for example, he criticized the Green New Deal by telling supporters that it was a policy rip-off. Why? According to Walker, America has some of the cleanest air in the world (that’s not actually true), “but since we don’t control the air, our good air decided to float over to China's bad air so when China gets our good air, their bad air got [sic] to move. So it moves over to our good air space.” Walker’s solution? “We got to clean that back up.”
This is not how air works.
According to a report by Georgia Public Broadcasting, Walker had been complaining about China and India’s “bad air” for weeks.
In the spring, he publicly wondered why if evolution is real, there are still apes in the world.
He responded to the Uvalde shooting by proposing “a department that can look at young men that's looking at women that's looking at social media" when asked about new gun laws proposed in Congress (the place where Walker aspires to hold a job) “what I like to do is see it and everything and stuff.”
Walker also famously got caught lying about the number of children he has sired—after years of preaching about the evils of absentee parenting. He claimed to have one child, but, in reality, he has four.
And that’s not the only time Walker has been caught telling untruths. He’s repeatedly and extravagantly lied about his business experience (he owes millions of dollars in unpaid loans), and his academic record (he falsely claimed to be his college valedictorian, even though he left college early to play in the NFL).
Then there are the most ominous aspects of Walker’s past—like the allegation that he held a loaded gun to his wife’s head and threatened to blow her brains out.
Concerns about Walker’s penchant for lying and his mental adroitness are not merely being raised by his political opponents. They are coming from inside the house.
According to a blockbuster Daily Beast piece from earlier this summer, emails and texts from his own campaign advisers show them “discussing how they don’t trust Walker—both to tell the truth to them and to handle campaign events properly—and harboring concerns that he isn’t mentally fit for the job.”
“He spouts falsehoods ‘like he’s breathing,’ said one adviser. “He’s lied so much that we don’t know what’s true,” said another. One source even called the campaign “a shitshow on a train in the middle of a wreck,” which, truth be told, doesn’t make a lot of sense but also doesn’t sound very good.
The Beast’s report further suggested that aides have “ridiculed his intelligence,” “fear his mood swings and instability,” and don’t trust him “to speak coherently” or tell them the truth.
Anyone who follows Walker’s bizarre statements would likely draw a similar conclusion. In his public events, Walker either regurgitates the same four or five talking points about the evils of Democrats, or he goes off on often incoherent tangents. However, it seems no one around Walker—neither his campaign aides nor his family and friends—seem inclined to intervene and speak out publicly about the dangers of electing him to the Senate.
Even more extraordinary (and disturbing) is that Walker remains not just a viable candidate for the U.S. Senate, he is running neck and neck with Warnock. According to a new poll out this week, he leads Warnock by 3 points.
Liz Cheney Was Brave When the Country Needed Her to Be
It’s hard to say what is sadder: that a majority of Georgia’s voters are prepared to send a candidate as utterly ill-equipped as Walker to Washington, or that his fellow Republicans are so desperate to win back control of the Senate that they are ignoring his mountain of personal deficits.
Does anyone who has watched Walker on the campaign trail believe that he has the basic cognitive ability to effectively represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate? Does anyone expect him to actively participate in writing bills or debating senate legislation?
Walker’s bid for the Senate is yet one more troubling example of where the Republican Party is headed. The mere ability to cast a vote for Mitch McConnell as Senate majority leader, and demonstrate rhetorical support for Donald Trump, are all the qualifications one needs to become a Republican senator these days. Experience in government, interest in public policy, the ability to speak coherently on governing issues, and basic competence are not required. Indeed, as Trump showed, the less experience one has, the greater the appeal for Republican voters.
As sad as Walker’s campaign has become, what is even sadder is what it portends for the country. A political party that is content with having someone like Herschel Walker in the U.S. Senate is not a political party that cares about the responsibility of governing America.

The last operating unit of the Zaporizhia plant is closed | News
The sixth power unit of the nuclear plant at Energodar in the Russian-controlled part of the Zaporizhia region was shut down on Sunday night, announced Renat Karchaa, adviser to the head of the Rosenergoatom company.

IAEA calls to end attacks on Zaporizhia nuclear power plant
The plant’s units were shut down due to shelling by Ukrainian troops and damage to power lines, changing the operating modes of the reactors and turbines could lead to an accident, said Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Ukrainian regional government. Zaporizhia.
“During the last few days, the only unit of the nuclear power plant – unit 6 – was working at its minimum capacity. It was closed at night. Now it does not generate electricity,” Rogov said.

Earlier it was reported that the fifth unit of the nuclear power plant had shut down, when Ukrainian bombardments brought down power lines supplying power generated by the plant to the system.
The Zaporizhia nuclear plant, controlled by the Russian army, has been under constant bombardment since August by the Ukrainian armed forces, despite the fact that Russia has repeatedly denounced this situation to the international community.
“The reactor was stopped, work is currently being carried out to cool it down,” said Renat Karchaa, adviser to the Russian Rosenergoatom consortium.
Karchaa warned that this step is not an absolute guarantee against a nuclear accident if artillery attacks continue, for which he blamed the Ukrainian army.
Two experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) who were part of the agency’s special mission to inspect the nuclear power plant and remained there as observers continue to work at the plant, said the president of the movement “We are together with Russia”, Vladimir Rogov.

As youth-led road safety awareness month SAFER September takes place, the AA and Students Against Dangerous Driving (SADD/Kaitiaki o Ara) are urging Kiwis to check in with young drivers and be vigilant about road safety to prevent the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads in 2022 from climbing further.
Year-to-date (YTD), 248 people have died on our roads, which is 11% more than at the same time last year, and just 6% shy of 2018’s high of 264 deaths (YTD)-. Nearly a quarter of those were aged between 15-24 years old, which is an increase of 35% year-on-year, up 29% and 59% on 2020 and 2019 respectively and just 13% less than the high of 2018.
In response, SADD/Kaitiaki o Ara groups across Aotearoa have signed up to take part in SAFER September (Student Advocates for Everyone's Road Safety). During the month-long campaign, young leaders are running activities and events in their schools and communities. SADD/Kaitiaki o Ara National Leaders are stepping up to play their part:
Akshara Nair, year 13 student from Albany Senior High School tells us her group aims to create a mural, work with local police around impairment issues and also plan to visit a local primary school. Emma Wilson, a year 13 student from Fiordland College has registered her group to take part. They plan to raise awareness everyday by sharing facts, hosting weekly quizzes and running frequent activities. They will also be working with partners in the community to take their messaging beyond their school gates. Dianne Lee, a year 12 student from Kristin School, Albany has shared that her group will run fun activities for the whole school but with a serious message. They run an interactive assembly where all students will be invited to participate in a question and answer session. Lena Dupu, a year 12 student from St. Kevin’s College, Oamaru also registered her school group, and they will bring students together at a BBQ and run fun activities to raise awareness of impairment and good decision making.
SADD General Manager and former Police officer Donna Govorko says seeing the number of road deaths creep closer to 2018 levels highlights there is still a lot of work to be done to shift the culture and attitudes amongst rangatahi and adults.
"We need to support young people to make safer choices on the road by talking about the risks, speaking up when we see dangerous behaviour and modelling positive actions ourselves.
"Driver behaviour is nearly always the leading cause of these fatalities, and while every young life lost is a tragedy, it’s made even more tragic by the fact these accidents are usually avoidable.
"We talk a lot with our students about choices, because that’s what it comes down to. As the driver in control of a car you need to make safe choices and understand the implications of poor ones.
"These statistics only account for those that have paid the highest price, yet there are other consequences that’ll impact a young person’s life if not permanently for many years to come.
"Serious road injuries can have a lasting impact on their wellbeing both physically and mentally. Then there’s the impact of a driving offence on employment prospects, debt and financial struggles resulting from fines as well as harm to other families and the wider community.
"Our goal, and the aim of SAFER September, is to create the cultural shift we need in order to change behaviour and we encourage Kiwis of all ages to support this."
Ben Bonne was a National Leader for two years and remains involved whilst at university adds:
"Wake up Aotearoa New Zealand; we've fallen asleep behind the wheel. Since 2017, our sobering road-related death and serious injury statistics have worsened - a concerning trend that has only been amplified with Covid.
"These statistics are significant as they affect us all: our family and whanau, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. Given our alarming situation, SAFER September, a campaign that starts conversations and encourages us all to be safer road users, is more important than ever.
"Led by the youth of Aotearoa New Zealand, and facilitated by SADD/Kaitiaki O Ara, this campaign responds to our sobering statistics. Yet, SAFER September isn't about pointing fingers at who's responsible. It's about making a societal-wide commitment to be safer road users because the only way things will change is for us to work together."
According to AA Driving School, a long-time sponsor of SADD, inexperience coupled with over-confidence is what puts young people at greater risk on the road.
"Young drivers tend to overestimate their ability and underestimate the risk as their inexperience means they are less likely to recognise a hazard and perceive the risk," says General Manager Roger Venn.
"Drink driving, speeding, being distracted and not driving to the conditions are common risk factors amongst young drivers. Our experience shows that the best way to mitigate these is to build their experience safely and make sure they are aware of the risks and consequences so they are better prepared to handle the situations they will face on the road.
"Professional lessons and road safety education are an important part of that but becoming a safe and competent driver goes beyond just technical skills and knowledge. Attitude and willingness to change behaviour is just as important.
"By checking in with how their driving is going and talking about things like how to manage distractions and handle pressure, the safer they’re likely to be."

Diabetes cannot be cured but only managed, for now. The condition, which is characterised by elevated blood sugar levels, afflicts millions across the globe. However, a carefully curated healthy diet can go a long way in dealing with chronic diseases like diabetes.
A healthy diet that teems with fibre and protein helps in keeping blood sugar levels stable. Make sure to include enough vegetables, seasonal fruits, and nuts in your daily diet. Along with this, diabetes management through home remedies is one of the ideal ways to deal with the situation.

To take an extra step towards your health, you could also add some herbs to your diabetes diet like Licorice, or mulethi, which are known for their anti-diabetic properties.
Mulethi or liquorice roots have long been revered in Ayurveda for their health-promoting properties. It is a herb that grows throughout Asia and Europe. Because of the inherent sweetness of the extract, it is commonly utilized as a flavouring additive in addition to medications.
Nutrition expert Bhuvan Rastogi often shares tips through photos and videos showcasing how consuming clean and green can help in leading a healthy life.
And, as per a report by Hindustan Times, he recently shared the benefits, consumption, and side-effects of the “desi herb".
He even shared evidence of his proficiency with his personal experience. “I have been using mulethi powder or Licorice root powder in my tea for the last 1 year and don’t feel the need for sugar at all, it is not as sweet but with each sip the sweetness builds up to a substantial feel. The amount shown in the video was enough to sweeten 2 giant mugs of 200ml tea each."
In the caption, he also suggested: “Avoid the processed form of Licorice in any packaged product as that can be in higher concentrations."

Premier League clubs and police to meet to hold talks over whether to to postpone more fixtures ahead of Queen’s funeral
FOOTBALL chiefs and police are continuing talks today over a number of potential match postponements for this coming weekend.
The Queen died peacefully aged 96 on Thursday - marking an end to her historic reign and making her son, Charles, King.
The Premier League and EFL postponed all matches last weekend as Scotland followed suit along with a host of other sporting events to pay tribute to Her Majesty.
The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II has been confirmed for Monday 19 September in London.
A host of police officers from across the country are set to be drafted into London to work on it and the other events surrounding the send-off with millions of mourners due to descend on the capital.
As we reported last week, that means that Sunday’s Premier League games between Brentford and Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool and Manchester United vs Leeds are among those being discussed about being postponed or moved.
Up in Scotland, Rangers’ Champions League fixture at home to Napoli has been delayed for 24 hours and away supporters have been banned.
SunSport understands that England’s representatives in Uefa’s competitions this midweek will not be affected, with Arsenal’s Europa League clash in North London against PSV on Thursday still scheduled to go ahead.
But talks are still ongoing regarding the domestic top-flight clashes for next weekend.
Switching games to the opposition’s venue has already been discussed, but they have also hit major roadblocks.

For example, Liverpool’s neighbours Everton are also playing at home on Sunday, meaning Chelsea switching their game to Anfield is highly unlikely.
Meanwhile, a huge police presence is expected at Old Trafford for the game between heated rivals United and Leeds, which would also stretch resources.
And EFL fixtures are also at risk in and around London with Millwall, QPR and Watford due to be hosting matches.
But officials are still “hopeful” that a positive conclusion could be reached.
A National Police Chiefs Council spokesperson said: “We will work with football clubs to try and ensure that, where possible, football fixtures can take place safely when balanced against the requirement to support national events and deliver day-to-day policing.
“This is a unique situation and we are working closely with everyone involved.”
Meanwhile, the Premier League’s return is causing huge issues for Sky Sports due to a lack of TV trucks caused by the 24/7 coverage of The Queen's funeral, says the Daily Mail.
They state that “the Premier League's main rights holder Sky Sports are running out of the outside broadcast trucks required to deliver live coverage as many are being used by their sister channel” instead.

With two months to go until the midterms, tech companies are getting ready: rolling out fact checks, labeling misleading claims and setting up voting guides.
The election playbooks being used by Facebook, Twitter, Google-owned YouTube and TikTok are largely in line with those they used in 2020, when they warned that both foreign and domestic actors were seeking to undermine confidence in the results.
But the wave of falsehoods in the wake of that election – including the "big lie" that Donald Trump won – has continued to spread, espoused by hundreds of Republican candidates on ballots this fall.
That's left experts who study social media wondering what lessons tech companies have learned from 2020 – and whether they are doing enough this year.
The host of election-related announcements in recent weeks add up to a "business as usual" approach, said Katie Harbath, a former elections policy director at Facebook who's now a fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
The return of familiar playbooks
The platforms are largely taking a two-pronged approach: tamping down misleading or outright false claims, and boosting authoritative information from local election officials and reputable news sources.
In the first case, all four major platforms are leaning on labels to flag falsehoods and, in many cases, direct users to fact checks or accurate information. In some cases, users won't be able to share labeled posts and the platforms themselves won't recommend them. YouTube, Facebook and TikTok also say they will remove some specific false claims about voting and threats of violence.
Platforms are often hesitant to spell out exactly how they enforce their policies to avoid giving bad actors a roadmap. The range of approaches to labeling and removal also illustrates the fraught balance the companies try to strike between letting users express themselves and protecting their platforms from being weaponized – all while facing scrutiny from politicians on both sides of the aisle.
Policies diverge most when it comes to political ads. Twitter and TikTok have banned ads for candidates and about political issues. Google and Facebook both allow them, requiring disclosure of who pays for them. Facebook is once again freezing all new political ads in the week before Election Day but will allow existing ads to continue running.
But defining when an ad or issue qualifies as political isn't straightforward, leaving gaps that experts worry could be exploited.
"It's actually a quite confusing landscape because there is no regulation, there are no standards these companies have to follow," Harbath said. "Everyone is just making the choices that they feel are best for them and their company."
On the flip side, all four platforms are highlighting features that aim to put more reliable information in users' feeds, such as providing information about candidates, voter registration and when and where to cast ballots. That information will also be available in Spanish across platforms.
Branching out beyond English is an important step towards addressing a "glaring omission" in previous elections, said Zeve Sanderson, executive director of New York University's Center for Media and Politics.
In the final days of the 2020 election, Latino voters were targeted with social media posts discouraging them from voting, according to voting rights activists and disinformation experts.
Evidence is mixed on how well platform policies work
Even as social media companies double down on their 2020 tactics, researchers say it's not always clear how effective their interventions are.
In the case of labels, there is mixed evidence about whether they help dispel false impressions, or if, in some cases, they may inadvertently encourage people to double down on those beliefs.
Last year, researchers at NYU analyzed what happened after Twitter labeled some of Trump's tweets before and after the 2020 election as containing misinformation. They found the labeled messages spread even further on Twitter, and also took off on other platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Reddit.
The platforms have given small peeks into what they know about how well their tools work. Twitter has said after it redesigned its misleading information labels last year, more people clicked through to read accurate information.
Facebook, meanwhile, says it will be more choosy about what it labels, after users said labels were "over-used" in 2020. "In the event that we do need to deploy them this time round our intention is to do so in a targeted and strategic way," Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Facebook parent Meta, wrote in a blog post.
But for NYU's Sanderson, that raised more questions the company has not answered.
"What was the feedback? From which users? What do the words 'targeted' and 'strategic' mean?" he said. "It would be really helpful for them to contextualize it within actual details of what their internal research has found."
Moving beyond misinformation "Whac-A-Mole"
What's more, it's hard to know how well the companies enforce their policies – which Harbath, the former Facebook official, described as a "huge gap."
"The companies are like, 'These are our policies, these are all the things that we're going to do.' But they don't talk enough about, 'Okay, but humans are fallible. The technology is not 100% perfect,'" she said.
In the hours after polls closed in 2020, Trump supporters began rallying online under the slogan "Stop the Steal," Facebook removed the first Stop the Steal group on its platform quickly, under its rules against casting doubt on the legitimacy of the election and calling for violence. But more groups kept popping up – and Facebook was unable to keep up.
Researchers warn that the 2020 approach to election falsehoods doesn't address the reality of 2022. Tech companies approach elections as discrete events, typically putting policies in place and then turning them off when the voting is over – even though false claims don't end when the ballots are counted.
"The companies should be doing a lot more to have an always-on policy, because clearly these topics around the integrity of elections are certainly staying in the lexicon and the conversation well beyond Election Day," Harbath said.
The big challenge is for companies to move beyond being reactive and find ways to prevent their platforms from being used to spread these kinds of falsehoods so widely in the first place.
"When it comes to election misinformation and disinformation, platforms are kind of just playing Whac-A-Mole – trying to get on top of something before something else arises," said Spandi Singh, a policy analyst at the Open Technology Institute at the think tank New America.

Genshin Impact leaks have placed Nilou in the latter half of the 3.1 update, which means that players will have plenty of time to prepare for her banner's arrival. Fans should make the most of this time by gathering Nilou's ascension materials early. This will allow them to begin using her as fast as possible. Getting her to level 90 will be important, given that she scales off of Max HP.
Fans can find a list of her ascension materials here, along with more information about her banner's release.
Nilou's ascension materials and more in Genshin Impact
Farming for Genshin Impact's upcoming 5-star Hydro character Nilou won't be too difficult now that players have access to Sumeru. Fans will want to begin gathering the materials she needs to reach level 90 now, though they won't be able to collect all of them due to her requiring parts from a boss coming in the 3.1 update.
Gamers who plan on summoning Nilou will need plenty of other materials though, so farming early will help a lot. Here's what she'll need to reach level 90 in Genshin Impact:
Varunada Lazurite Gemstones
To reach level 90, Nilou will need quite a few of these Hydro-infused gemstones. They can be gathered from most Hydro related bosses, with the easiest to farm being the Oceanid in Liyue and the Hydro Hypostasis in Inazuma. She'll need this many gems to reach max rank:
- Varunada Lazurite Sliver x 3
- Varunada Lazurite Fragment x 9
- Varunada Lazurite Chunk x 9
- Varunada Lazurite Gemstones x 6
Perpetual Caliber
Nilou will require items from the new Ruin boss, the fearsome Aeonblight Drake. This foe will utilize incredibly damaging attacks while maintaining the strong resistances that most Ruin enemies have. Unfortunately, this boss is not available yet and will likely only arrive when the 3.1 update drops. Players will be able to find this boss in Sumeru, and they'll want to start farming its materials once the update releases.
Padisarah
Nilou will require a regional specialty flower from Sumeru known as the Padisarah. These blue flowers can be found throughout the lush portion of Sumeru, though fans will want to unlock the full region before they begin farming them, as a good amount can be found in Vanarana.
Nilou will need 168 of these flowers to reach max level, and players will want to begin farming them now, as there are only around 70 in the world at a time, meaning they'll need to wait two days for a respawn to reach the full 168.
Floating Fungi drops
These floating enemies can be found throughout Sumeru and the Chasm, and Genshin Impact players will need to slay quite a few of them if they want to ascend Nilou to level 90. Luckily, locating them all isn't tough, and players can refer to the game's Adventurer's Handbook to track them down or use this video to collect over 350 materials easily. Here's what Nilou will need to reach level 90:
- 18 x Fungai Spores
- 30 x Luminescent Pollen
- 36 x Crystalline Cyst Dust
Pity
Given that Nilou is a 5-star character, players will want to at least have around 90 rolls saved up for her if they do not have any pity built. This translates to 14,400 Primogems, and these gems can easily be gathered by exploring Sumeru and completing many of its quests and challenges.
Genshin Impact's pity guarantees a 5-star character after 90 pulls, but there is always the chance that players lose the 50/50 odds of the character being the featured unit. In the case of Nilou not being guaranteed, gamers may want to save up an additional 90 wishes, bringing the total to 28,800 Primogems.
Genshin Impact's upcoming 5-star character Nilou can provide a ton to a team, and players will want to be prepared to level her.

Nigerian financial management app for merchants Kippa bags $8.4M in new funding
Kippa, the Nigerian startup improving the lifecycle of small businesses across the country with its financial management and payments platform, has raised $8.4 million in an oversubscribed seed round.
The startup — launched last June by Kennedy Ekezie-Joseph, Duke Ekezie and Jephthah Uche — received investment from backers such as Goodwater Capital, TEN13 VC, Rocketship VC, Saison Capital, Crestone VC, VentureSouq, Horizon Partners and Vibe Capital. Kippa said the investment will allow it to develop financial products that help SMEs grow their businesses and grow its team in Nigeria.
The company announced its $3.2 million pre-seed from Target Global and other investors last November.
Kippa is one of the many bookkeeping platforms for small and medium businesses in sub-Saharan Africa. Similar providers in the sub-Saharan region include Pastel, Bamba, OZÉ and Bumpa.
Before such solutions, many of these businesses ran operations such as managing money, inventory tracking, and records of staff and suppliers offline, mainly with pen and paper or ledgers. All these inefficiencies, asides from being time-consuming, lead to errors and affects cash flow and finance, which is why almost nine out of 10 small businesses fizzle out in the first five years.
As such, startups have launched various bookkeeping solutions to digitize operations of these small businesses in a traditional retail sector worth more than $200 billion alone in Nigeria. With Kippa, small business owners can keep track of their daily income and expense transactions, create invoices and receipts, manage inventory and generally monitor how their businesses ebb and flow over time. In the interview with CEO Ekezie-Joseph last November, he said Kippa had over 130,000 active businesses, ranging from small kiosks and street corner shops to local food vendors and high-end merchants. Although the platform has grown to accommodate over 500,000 small businesses, Ekezie-Joseph didn’t say how many were active.
Any company providing services to thousands of small and medium businesses across various cities in Nigeria has an extensive distribution network to build new products on top. And in Kippa’s case — the company’s merchants are spread across all 774 local governments in Nigeria — it has made meaningful strides in what offerings it provides to merchants.
The majority of small businesses in Nigeria aren’t formally registered due to costs and complexities in navigating the entire process. Thus, First, Kippa launched what Ekezie-Joseph described as one of the fastest incorporation products for small businesses a few months ago. “We’ve built a product on top of the current Kippa product that allows businesses to register in 3 days for N15,000,” said Ekezie-Kennedy indicating his platform’s alternative to help these businesses incorporate legally. This feature forms the basis for Kippa’s plans to stack financial products besides getting significant traction and driving more revenue, the CEO added.
Last week, the company announced that it obtained a licence from Nigeria’s apex bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to operate as a Super Agent, just like agency banking players OPay and TeamApt. With the licence, merchants on the Kippa platform can, in turn, act as agents and offer financial services such as cash withdrawals and deposits, bank account opening, bills and utility payments, and insurance to individual customers who come to their small shops regularly to make everyday purchases.
“We have over 500,000 merchants on our app and there’s a lot of opportunities for us to do more for them and provide more financial services,” said Ekezie-Joseph. “The super agent licence allows merchants and typical neighbourhood shops who already use our bookkeeping app into a one-stop-shop for essential financial services for their customers.”
Getting the best hands to drive its blitzscaling efforts is critical for a young company growing this fast—Kippa claims its annualized transaction recorded on the platform has exceeded $3 billion, ten times what it had last November. To that effect, the finance management platform has recruited ex-regulators and senior executives at startups like OPay, BharatPe, Khatabook, TeamApt, OKCredit, NIBSS, and Unified Payments, amongst others. Some of them include Toyin Albert as executive director of payments services, Osagie Alonge as director of marketing and Niyi Ajao, the ex-deputy managing director at Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) as chairman.
Image Credits:
Kippa has raised over $11 million in a full year of operation. The company and its competitors have convinced investors that the market they serve is massive for every player to co-exist. Reports buttress that point as an estimated 49.3 million business owners run SMEs in the country. But as these platforms pitch different approaches to businesses — bookkeeping, connection with suppliers, banking and software services — credit is the glue that makes everything stick. However, Kippa’s credit and lending arm, which the CEO predicted last year as a revenue generator for the company, has been put on hold for the time being, hopefully not too long that it affects the startup’s ambition to be small businesses’ go-to financial service provider.
“Credit remains an insanely huge opportunity for us. And while we have a lending licence in Lagos and Abuja, we’re spending our time building out the arms of the business that provide and continue to expand transactional data that we have on businesses. This allows us to build a healthier loan book when we start lending.”

‘Emphatic exoneration’: Barilaro trade job review opens way for Ayres’ cabinet return
By Lucy Cormack and Alexandra Smith
A pre-election cabinet reshuffle is the most realistic avenue for Stuart Ayres to return to the Perrottet ministry after a legal review cleared him of wrongdoing in John Barilaro’s controversial appointment to a US trade post.
The review by high-profile barrister Bruce McClintock, SC, found Ayres complied with the ministerial code of conduct, and came more than five weeks after he resigned amid concerns he overstepped as the responsible minister during Barilaro’s selection.
“There is no basis for any conclusion that Mr Ayres breached [the code] by directing or requesting any person to act contrary to the law or any of the other matters referred to,” McClintock found.
Ayres was forced to resign from cabinet and as deputy Liberal leader last month after a review by former public service commissioner Graeme Head raised questions over his role in Barilaro’s appointment to New York, finding it was not conducted at arm’s length from government.
In a statement on Monday, Ayres said the review was “unequivocally clear” in finding he acted lawfully, adding that Premier Dominic Perrottet himself described it as an “emphatic exoneration”.
The legal advice, which Perrottet commissioned, creates a new political headache for the premier now faced with the dilemma of whether to reinstate the former minister to his cabinet.
Ministers are split over whether Ayres could or should come back to cabinet, where he previously enjoyed a super-portfolio mix of enterprise, investment and trade, tourism and sport and western Sydney.
If he did return before the March election, colleagues believe it is most likely he would resume overseeing the most junior of the portfolios, such as western Sydney.
Premier Dominic Perrottet is yet to comment on the McClintock review, but previously conceded Ayres did not conduct himself at arm’s length from the process, based on the Head review findings.
Last week, however, the premier suggested the door remained open to Ayres returning to his cabinet adding that there were “always opportunities to come back and serve in the NSW government in different ways”.
Ayres’ role in the appointment of Barilaro came under intense scrutiny amid the release of internal documents revealing he stayed close to the recruitment led by Department of Enterprise, Investment and Trade Secretary Amy Brown.
It was the second recruitment process for the role after an earlier round resulted in the job being offered to former bureaucrat Jenny West. That offer was later rescinded.
Head’s review also found Brown factored in Ayres’ preference, despite never being directed to do so, consulting him on applicant shortlists and arranging for him to meet one candidate.
Those findings triggered the McClintock inquiry to determine whether Ayres breached the ministerial code of conduct.
McClintock’s eight-page advice relied on the findings of the Head review as well as cabinet documents and transcripts from an ongoing parliamentary inquiry. McClintock also interviewed Ayres for the report on September 1.
“On Mr Head’s specific findings, Mr Ayres acted honestly and in what he considered to be the public interest and therefore there is no breach [of the code of conduct],” McClintock wrote.
He said some form of daily contact was expected between a minister and the secretary of his department.
McClintock referred to Head’s finding that the process lacked a “specific and transparent” method for the two to reasonably consult each other.
“This suggests to me that the failure, if it be such, was one of process not substance,” McClintock’s advice said.
The barrister also found no evidence that Ayres had a conflict of interest relating to Barilaro, beyond their “simultaneous membership of cabinet and parliament”.
“There does not appear to have been any other relationship or connection between two men. They were certainly not friends,” McClintock said.
Ayres has consistently denied any wrongdoing and maintained he was at arm’s length from the public service process. He has insisted Brown was the final decision-maker at all times.
”Mr McClintock also makes clear ... that the public service was independent of me and under no special duty or obligation to appoint Mr Barilaro,” Ayres said in his statement on Monday.
“As the premier described it to me after I was presented with a copy of the report, ‘it is an emphatic exoneration’.”
Labor leader in the upper house Penny Sharpe said she did not believe the McClintock review would change public perceptions of the process.
“What we’ve seen is a ‘jobs for the boys’ culture and that continues”.
The fallout from the trade job saga has engulfed the Perrottet government since Barilaro was announced as the US trade commissioner in June. He has since withdrawn from the role, while a long-running upper house inquiry continues to examine his appointment and that of UK Agent-General Stephen Cartwright.

Outside a dive bar advertising topless dancers on a recent Friday night in North Hollywood, a dancer who goes by her stage name, Reagan, sees her cue.
Before a car full of patrons can enter the parking lot of Star Garden, she cozies up to the driver's side window. She tells the group of four men why the bar — her former workplace — doesn't deserve their business.
"We do want to dance. We love it in there," Reagan tells the friends. But, turning on the flirt, she encourages them to instead dance with her co-workers on the sidewalk. "We're fighting for safer working conditions."
Reagan is among a group of former Star Garden employees who began striking outside the club six months ago. Since then, the dancers have taken their performances outside — picketing, putting on costumed runway shows and deterring customers from entering a space that they say failed to protect them.
They allege that security fails to intervene when belligerent customers threaten and physically assault dancers, that dancers are filmed without consent and that arbitrary rules and quotas govern their job security. After two dancers asked management to take basic measures to address their safety concerns, the dancers say, they were fired in retaliation. Those firings were the final push that drove the group of Star Garden dancers to take the first leap in an effort to unionize.
On March 18, 15 of the club's 23 employees at the time delivered a petition to Star Garden's owners stating their demands. When they attempted to meet with their bosses at the club the next day to discuss their grievances, the dancers said, they were locked out.
NPR spoke to eight dancers for this story, all of whom said that they were contract employees and that they were unfairly terminated for raising safety and privacy concerns with management. They spoke to NPR on the condition that they be identified by only their stage names to protect their safety and privacy. All the dancers said they use the term "stripper" to describe their work and often use the label interchangeably with "dancer."
All the dancers NPR spoke to said conditions are the same if not worse at other clubs. But they describe Star Garden as special in that it's a Lynchian dive bar full of personality and dancer camaraderie. They say that's why they're willing to fight so hard for better working conditions there.
Their approach is a novel one. In August, after several months of striking, the dancers filed for a union election through the Actors' Equity Association, a union that represents actors and stage managers on Broadway and at prominent theater venues. To start the unionization process, Actors' Equity lawyers will have to convince the National Labor Relations Board that the locked-out dancers were employees who were wrongfully terminated.
Andrea Hoeschen, the union's general counsel, said it's clear that strippers need the protections afforded by a union for the same host of reasons as do actors and stage managers.
"Safety onstage, safe backstage areas, sanitary backstage areas, having the employer take some responsibility for the behavior of audience members, making sure people aren't filmed or harassed by audience members, and that when any of those problems arise, that there is accountability on the part of the employer," Hoeschen told NPR.
If the dancers are successful, the Star Garden workers will become the only strippers in the U.S. to be represented by a union, according to Actors' Equity, which represents more than 51,000 workers.
They're not the first group of strippers to take the union path. The Star Garden dancers take direct inspiration from a unionization effort 25 years ago led by strippers at the Lusty Lady, a defunct peep show in San Francisco that unionized when the strippers joined the Service Employees International Union.
Many of the Star Garden dancers say a strip club run as a co-op is the ultimate goal — which is just what the Lusty Lady strippers did when they bought out the venue in 2003. But rising rent prices and the lure of online pornography made it difficult to keep the lights on, forcing the club to shut down in 2013.
The Star Garden dancers' effort is part of a larger movement in recent months by workers who are seeking unionization for better labor protections.
"I definitely see it as an aftershock of COVID," Reagan said. "People going back to work are just realizing what they're worth and realizing what they deserve."
The club's owners, Stepan "Steve" Kazaryan and Yevgenya "Jenny" Kazaryan, have not responded to multiple calls from NPR about the allegations described by the dancers. Joshua Kaplan, a lawyer reportedly representing the club, has not responded to multiple contact attempts.
For now, the dancers will be out on the sidewalk, trying to upset the club's bottom line.
More often than not, the dancers say, their deterrence tactics work to turn away business. But that one car of friends ended up going into the club that night.
Reagan shrugged: "Everyone needs a different touch," she said.
Reagan (she/her)
When the COVID-19 pandemic forced Star Garden to close in 2020, Reagan, like many workers, took her business online. She and her fellow dancers started hosting virtual shows.
"It was like a revelation," Reagan said. "We realized that we have the know-how, the tools to create a community and an environment that we feel safe in and that we can perform and make money."
Online, she said, the talent ran the show. The performers could block a customer if they were being harassed, instead of waiting around for security to step in.
The time spent away from the club, she said, was a "wake-up call" to the pervasive safety issues that she said came into sharper focus when she returned.
Reagan said she was fired after standing up for herself to a manager who was joking about a customer killing her.
Now, to stay afloat emotionally and financially, she's continuing to host the virtual performances.
Reagan has been stripping for over a decade. For her, it hasn't been difficult to draw a separation between her private and public-performer lives. That distinction is now becoming muddier, however, as her public profile as an activist melds with her performer persona in the spotlight of the strike.
Outside of stripping, Reagan is a theater performer who is already represented by Actors' Equity. It's serendipitous, she said, that those two worlds are forming one, and it validates her belief that strippers are stage performers.
Wicked (she/her)
Wicked is a self-described theater kid — a performer.
"You are a one-woman show when you're out there to make your money," she said.
And for a while, she truly was. Star Garden hired her in July 2021, and for her first eight weeks, she said, she danced in the club alone. As more strippers got brought on board, she held out hope that club conditions would improve.
The conditions, she said, included holes in the stage, a broken pole, shattered glass on the ground and a general lack of cleanliness. Star Garden owners and managers, who she said also took shifts as bartenders and security guards, didn't rush to address her concerns.
"They filled a lot of roles and cut a lot of corners doing that," Wicked said. "And in cutting so many corners, they made us less safe."
Week by week, month after month, working conditions deteriorated, she said.
"You could tell security, 'This guy just tried to shove his finger in me,' and you'd be met with a blank stare," Wicked said. "That happened to me multiple times."
Feeling that they couldn't rely on security, the dancers warned and protected each other from customers and management.
After two dancers were fired in the span of a couple of days, the Star Garden strippers felt they were running out of options. They presented their petition to management and took to the picket line when barred from reentering the club.
The support of the nonprofit Strippers United and, now, Actors' Equity has been critical to keeping their momentum going, Wicked said.
"We made it five months, which in labor terms is colossal," she said in August. "It's a very long time to continue picketing and continue staying strong on these lines."
Selena (she/her) and Tess (she/they)
When she wears her hair down, Selena often gets compared to the late Tejano pop star Selena Quintanilla, so choosing a stage name to "represent the queen herself" was an obvious choice.
Selena started dancing two years ago. A difficult financial situation had left her living out of her car, and she felt like stripping could offer the flexibility to pay her bills and still go to school.
"I could take a week off dancing because I was focused on [finals] week, and I've never had any job do that before," she said.
Her new job also allowed her to explore different sides of herself.
"I'm very masc outside of being a stripper," she explained. "As soon as I step into the strip club, I can be as femme as I want. It's really liberating and really beautiful to be in an environment where that's appreciated."
Selena landed at Star Garden in January, becoming its only Latina dancer. That didn't immediately raise red flags — it meant good money. But the more she talked to her Star Garden co-workers, most of whom were white, the more she felt uncomfortable with how her new employers seemed to be tokenizing her.
And slowly, she said, the things she valued most about her career as a stripper — the freedom, the independence, the self-expression — started eroding. In March, Selena hit a breaking point.
She said she was fired, with no clear explanation why, after asking a customer to stop filming one of her co-workers.
Striking and organizing takes a huge toll, especially as one of the few people of color on the team, she said.
Tess is no stranger to these feelings and financial hardship. Tess started dancing at Star Garden years ago, when it was under different ownership. Then, after a three-year hiatus from the stripping scene, she returned last August.
"The money was good," they said. "But then, weird things started happening."
For example, she said, Jenny Kazaryan would close down the stage show if the strippers were not selling enough lap dances. When you do that at a stage club, Tess explained, part of the clientele is going to get up and leave.
In February, they fell off the pole during a performance — a combination of circumstances, they said, that included an unkempt stage and a lack of rags to clean off the pole between dancers. Jenny's son drove Tess to the hospital, but she never received any sort of compensation or financial support. Tess said management didn't give her a copy of the contract she signed at hiring, so she didn't know whether she was entitled to any benefits or protections.
A few weeks later, they showed up in a sling to sign the petition for improved safety.
Now, Tess financially supports her family through several streams of income. But they make it out to the picket line as much as possible and take pride in producing and performing in stripper co-op shows. She also runs the strike's Twitter account.
Like Selena, Tess, who is of Asian descent, is one of a few people of color in their movement. That's because nearly all the Star Garden dancers are white and none are Black — a fact that has resulted in a backlash against the strippers' unionization effort,
The dancers say they saw Black dancers being turned away and allege that Star Garden's management engaged in racist hiring practices.
"That wasn't up to us. It's not our fault that the club hired light-skinned and white women, because that's what they wanted," Tess said.
She said she is dedicated to centering Black voices in the Star Garden unionization effort. That could be achieved in part, she says, by including anti-racist hiring language in their union contract so that Star Garden would hire Black dancers. She says it would also include listening to Black strippers and sex-work activists who have criticized the unionization effort, and then taking those concerns into consideration moving forward.
At the end of the day, Selena said, she enjoys being a stripper — and wants to do it safely at Star Garden. Stripping has taught her to take better care of herself, physically and mentally, and she's proud to wear the title.
"It's a way to take out the stigma, and it seems like people are so afraid to say 'stripper' because it feels like there is a negative connotation or a cynical meaning to it," she said. "But this is what a stripper looks like, you know? And the more that we say it, the more normalized it will become."
Charlie (she/they)
Charlie started working at Star Garden in January. Though it wasn't Charlie's first strip club, bar managers assumed she was a "baby stripper" — and soon she started navigating what she calls "arbitrary rules and quotas" that she said she'd never experienced at other workplaces.
To get scheduled on weekend shifts, which made the most money, she said club owners required that she work on weeknights too. This meant wrapping up her 9-to-5, rushing to the club by 6 p.m. and dancing until close at 2 a.m.
"It did awful things to my brain and my body," they explained. "And I would go to work in the morning and just do it all again because they told me I had to, and I didn't want to lose my job."
When the club locked out the dancers, Charlie once again found herself bouncing between gigs to stay afloat. She said stripping helps her find her voice, to speak up for herself and communicate with her clients about their physical and emotional needs.
"[Stripping] is so incredibly multifaceted. It's a performance from all parties, not just us," they said. "The men that come in here, they get to be a different version of themselves."
It's not just Star Garden that's riddled with workplace safety concerns, they said. There aren't better options in the industry — the only solution she sees, for now, is to unionize, she added.

Dear Annie: The best wisdom my mother gave me about dealing with the death of our pets was this: Our pets live shorter lives than us so we can have more lovely ones. -- Wisdom
Dear Wisdom: That is really sweet. Thank you for sharing.
Dear Annie: I regret not visiting my mother enough when she was alive.
I was a “very busy, always working” daughter. When my mother suddenly died, I had neglected spending time with her and have regretted it now for almost 30 years. But at the time, I was just living day to day, trying to be everything to everyone and meet multiple demands. I was overwhelmed with work and parenting responsibilities and also focused on trying to ease her own loneliness, though I just didn’t have the time that she wanted. -- Regret Not Spending Time With Mom
Dear Regret: Thank you for your honest, reflective letter. Hope that it helps others out there hug their loved ones a little closer and/or make that phone call or book that trip to visit Grandma or Grandpa. Please try to let yourself off the hook. You did the best you could, and from your letter, it sounds as if you had a wonderful mother, because you are a very thoughtful person.
Dear Annie: I want to tell you about a wonderful coincidence in my life that involves your column. I read your answer to “Wanting More” about the mom who wished her daughter were more available. I wish my daughter called more, too.
I underlined the part about accepting your daughter for who she is, and suddenly the phone rang. It was my daughter, and we had a lovely conversation. My higher power is out there! -- Coincidence
Dear Coincidence: Thank you for sharing your wonderful letter. Your intention is beautiful.
Dear Annie: I thoroughly support the comments and book recommendation made by “Enjoying my Life,” not just for extroverts who want to understand their introverted loved ones better, but for introverts as well.
I am now retired after working for 39 years as an engineer in a corporate world where the extroverts dominated. It also didn’t help that I was a female in a male-dominated profession. Partway through my career, I discovered Susan Cain’s book, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking.” This book has been the most influential book I have ever read because it allowed me to accept myself for who I am and to realize that there are others like me. It made me a better manager and leader in my organization, as I recognized those like me, and knew how to draw out the best in them.
I have even given this book to a new manager in my organization, an introvert like myself. For those who are short on time, Susan Cain also has a Ted Talk. -- Comfortable in My Introvert Skin
Dear Comfortable in Introvert Skin: Thank you for recommending the Ted Talk and book. I applaud your exploration of self-discovery, which led to success in your career and in life.

Grant Pierce didn’t know whether he would be able to play sports again after an injury in a soccer game.
Now, he will travel to Portugal in November to represent the United States in the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports World Games.
Pierce qualified for the competition in May when he competed in the Desert Challenge Games in Arizona. When he found out about the international games, he submitted his best times in his track events. He was selected for the competition last month.
“It was just a huge honor basically to be selected, and I had no idea it was going to happen or I was actually going to be selected in the first place, so it was just a really cool thing,” Pierce said.
Pierce, a senior at Wichita Northeast Magnet High School, said he has always had a love for sports.
“Before my injury I was a super active kid,” he said. “I played football, soccer, baseball; I did really any sport I could.”
After Pierce broke his femur during a soccer game, he didn’t know what his future with sports would look like. He spent three months in the hospital and was bedridden for nearly a year.
“Having it suddenly taken away from me was just a huge blow to me,” he said. “I just was in horrible mental condition. I didn’t enjoy just staying home.”
He was re-introduced to sports by his physical therapist in 2016.
“Whenever she mentioned it to me, my eyes just lit up and I just thought to myself, ‘How cool would it be for me to do sports again and actually be able to go compete and be active again?’ ” Pierce said.
“And ever since then I just started getting back in sports, and whenever I started doing track I just kind of took off in it and really excelled in it.”
Pierce said he’s most looking forward to representing the U.S. when he travels to Portugal.
“I’m just beyond excited to actually be able to do it, and it’s actually something that’s going to happen and not just a dream anymore, and it’s actually a reality,” Pierce said.

A HAIR professional has shared how everyone is making the same three mistakes when washing their locks.
And it turns out if you’re using the same shampoo every time you step into the shower, you're doing your hair a big disservice.
Taylor Rose, who is on TikTok as @thehealthyhur, shares expert tips with her followers.
The latest post, titled ‘three shampoo mistakes you had no idea you were making’, lifts the lid on what you’re doing wrong and how you can fix it.
Taylor, who works as a trichologist, explained that the first is using the same shampoo, as you should also be incorporating a clarifying shampoo.
She said: “Add in a clarifying shampoo weekly or every other week to remove build up from products and other shampoos.”
Secondly, Taylor identified that most people are “not wetting hair fully before shampooing.”
She went on to say that the more water that you use, the better the lather you can create.
Taylor said: “Without the lather, people use more products, which strips your hair and wastes money and product.”
The third and final mistake people often make is also to do with the technique they have adopted.
Most read in Fabulous
The social media user explained how she sees people using “too much friction” when trying to create that lather.
Instead, Taylor suggested an alternative method which she said was much more effective.
She continued: “Move your fingers or massager and gently move in small circular motions.”
She concluded that this would prevent damage, while also ensuring your locks are fresh and clean.

Astros look to keep pressure on as they visit Tigers
The Houston Astros reached the 90-win mark on Sunday. They’ll start a push to 100 when they visit the Detroit Tigers for a three-game series, which begins Monday night.
Houston’s (90-50) bats heated up in the finale of a weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels, as it clubbed five homers in a 12-4 victory.
“That’s a benchmark I have for myself and the team every year,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said of 90 victories. “I always say if we can get 15 victories per month and you add on from there, there’s a good chance you’ll be somewhere in the playoff hunt. We’re there not even in the middle of September, and that’s a good sign for us.”
Mauricio Dubon, Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, Trey Mancini and Kyle Tucker hit the long balls. Bregman’s homer was a grand slam.
“This is how I used to hear about Bregman hitting balls out of right-center field,” Baker said. “That’s the first one that I’ve seen this year from him. That’s a great sign.”
With 22 games left in the regular season, the Astros need to win just half of their remaining contests to surpass the 100-win mark.
Framber Valdez (14-5, 2.64 ERA) will start the series opener for Houston.
Valdez had a personal six-game winning streak halted in his last start.
He gave up four runs (two earned) in 6 2/3 innings while striking out 11 against Texas on Tuesday.
“It was vintage Framber,” Baker said. “He had a good breaking ball. He struck out 11.”
Valdez will be making his 27th start of the season.
“I still feel strong, and (I’m) still working hard, and I’m going to continue with the same intensity,” he said.
The Tigers will counter with another left-hander, Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4, 4.13). He gave up three solo homers in his last start but those were the only runs he allowed in seven innings against the Angels on Tuesday.
Rodriguez set down the last 11 batters he faced but Detroit lost 5-4 in extra innings.
“He caught a rhythm, he did a lot of nice things to keep us where it was at,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said.
Rodriguez will be making his 13th start and fifth since a three-month hiatus due to injury and personal reasons.
The Tigers had a three-game winning streak halted by a 4-0 loss to Kansas City on Sunday. They have now been blanked 20 times this season, tying the club record in the live-ball era.
“We swung the bats better on this trip, so you try not to drag those other shutouts in,” Hinch said. “I wouldn’t have tallied them up until you told me. We’ve got to get better, obviously. You don’t want to get shut out once, let alone 20 times. But that’s our reality.”
Hinch hopes his team has a short memory. It scored 23 runs during the modest win streak.
“We can’t let today get to us,” he said. “Just wash it off and get home. If we swing the bat like we have the majority of this trip, we’ll be fine.”

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

Report Finds 88% of Current Internet-Connected Risks Driven By Misconfigurations and Exposures
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Censys, the leader in Attack Surface Management (ASM), launched its inaugural State of the Internet Report, a holistic view into Internet risks and organizations' exposure to them. This first-of-its-kind report also provides perspective on how security practitioners addressed several vulnerabilities over the last eighteen months, while offering organizations guidance for how to prioritize and evaluate the security maintenance of their Internet-connected business assets.
The inaugural report compiled by the Censys research team is informed by the firm's technology, which maintains the most comprehensive view of assets on the Internet by continuously scanning the public IPv4 address space across the 3,600+ most popular ports. The Censys research team's mission is to conduct timely and critical research of Internet exposures and enable the broader cybersecurity community to take quick actions that mitigate future issues.
Through careful examination of which ports, services, and software are most prevalent on the Internet and the systems and regions where they run, Censys' research team discovered that misconfigurations and exposures represent 88% of the risks and vulnerabilities across the Internet. Using Censys' Internet-wide scan capabilities and risk detection fingerprints, the State of the Internet Report provides visibility of the assets and weaknesses across an organization's Internet infrastructure in three sections: the Internet as a Whole, the Attack Surface of the Internet, and the Attack Surfaces of Organizations.
"Assessing the state of the Internet is crucial in understanding an organization's own risks and exposures," said Zakir Durumeric, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist of Censys. "Censys' unique perspective of the Internet provides a holistic look into the potential consequences of misconfigurations, while outlining security teams' crucial need for expanded visibility and understanding to make smart security decisions."
Censys' 2022 State of the Internet Report found that:
- Misconfigurations – including unencrypted services, weak or missing security controls and self-signed certificates – make up roughly 60% of observed risks. When analyzing the risk profile of organizations across industries, missing common security headers accounted for the primary security error.
- Exposures of services, devices, and information represent 28% of observed risks. This includes everything from accidental database to device exposures.
- Critical vulnerabilities and advanced exploits only represent 12% of observed risks. When analyzing organizations by industry, the Computer and Information Technology industry had the widest spread of different risks, while Freight Shipment and Postal Services had the second widest.
Censys' researchers also conducted a holistic assessment of the Internet's response to three major vulnerabilities – Log4j, GitLab and Confluence – to understand mitigation strategies based on how a vulnerability is perceived. From this analysis, Censys learned how the Internet responds differently to vulnerability disclosures.
Censys observed three distinct types of behavior in response to vulnerability disclosures:
- Near-immediate upgrading: Systems vulnerable to Log4j acted quickly based on the widespread coverage of the vulnerability. By March 2022, Censys observed only 36% of potential vulnerable services were left unpatched.
- Upgrading only after the vulnerability is being actively and widely exploited: While the GitLab vulnerability was being exploited, the remediation process acted slower than others until researchers discovered a botnet composed of thousands of compromised GitLab servers participating in DDoS campaigns.
- Near-immediate response by taking the vulnerable instance off the Internet entirely: Rather than upgrading, users chose to remove assets entirely from the Internet after Confluence's vulnerability became public between June 2021 and March 2022.
The Internet constantly evolves as new technologies emerge, vulnerabilities are discovered, and organizations expand their operations that interact with the Internet. Security teams have the responsibility to protect their organizations' digital assets and need proper visibility into the entire landscape to do so. Although vulnerabilities often garner the bigger headlines, it's undetected misconfigurations and exposures that create the most risk for an organization, making it important to regularly assess any new hosts or services that appear in your infrastructure. Regardless of vulnerability type, providing organizations with the visibility and tools needed to strengthen their security posture introduces a proactive, more vigilant approach to digital risk management.

The U.S. monkeypox outbreak appears to be slowing.
New infections are starting to decline in some large cities where the virus hit early and spread quickly. And while there's still uncertainty, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is currently projecting that the outbreak "will most likely continue to grow very slowly" over the next few weeks.
Health officials say it's cause for cautious optimism – but not complacency.
Much of the improvement is being attributed to temporary changes in sexual behavior, and progress is uneven, with new cases rising in some parts of the U.S. and disproportionately affecting certain minority populations, such as Black and Latino men.
The U.S. is relying on a strategy of vaccinating high-risk populations – largely gay and queer people, particularly men who have sex with men in social networks where the virus is spreading. But there are still open questions: scientists don't yet have much real-world data on how well the JYNNEOS vaccine – approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2019 – stops infection and transmission. And the vaccination campaign must be successful at reaching those who could most benefit from the shots.
NPR caught up with Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, one month into his job as deputy coordinator for the White House Monkeypox Response, to talk about where the outbreak is headed, and what it's like to go from being an HIV doctor and queer health activist to being the out-and-proud face of the government's monkeypox response.
This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
Pien Huang: As you look out over the next few weeks or months, where do you see the outbreak headed? Is it realistic to think we could get to virtually no cases in the U.S.?
Demetre Daskalakis: I think we're going to get to a point where we'll see occasional cases because of introductions [of the virus] from other places. We'll also potentially see small clusters. But in terms of this big ol' curve that we've been seeing, I think that's going to dissipate so it's no longer an outbreak, but more episodic.
If you look at the epidemiology of cases that happen outside of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, there are a lot of terminal chains: you have somebody [with monkeypox], and then maybe their household contacts [get it] and then it ends.
I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see little chains [of transmission]. Then, the vaccine would be used more for contact-focused vaccination as opposed to the population-based, behavior-based vaccination campaign [we have now].
You and other experts have credited changes in behavior for helping to slow the spread of monkeypox in the U.S. What does that mean for controlling the outbreak going forward, given that the virus has been spreading "almost exclusively" through sexual contact?
It is not impossible that we could see cases increase if behaviors regress. We definitely see that the messaging – from CDC and the U.S. government as well as interpretations by others – has really moved the needle, in terms of some of the behaviors associated with monkeypox exposure.
Single partnerships [meaning one-time sexual encounters] that men who have sex with men report are down – 50% have stopped doing them or reduced them – less anonymous sex, all of the things we advise as temporary measures, until we get vaccines into people's arms and they can go back to life as usual.
We're in this phase where getting the supply and maintaining the demand [for vaccines] is so important. It's reasonable to think people will change behavior for awhile, but not reasonable to think that they're going to change it forever. And we're not asking for forever, we're asking for now.
Why not frame this as a sexually transmitted infection? After all, gay and queer communities are generally pretty accustomed to talking about sexual health.
The jury's out on what this is going to be called. I think what's important is: monkeypox is sexually associated, no matter what.
What's important to me is less the semantics and more that we're giving the right advice, and that the places that people go [to seek information and care] are resourced to do the work.
A paper you co-authored that was posted recently shows that many monkeypox cases are being found in people with HIV and also those with a recent history of STIs. Why is this the case?
It's the social network, and the behaviors that are associated with it, that may imply why HIV-positive men who have sex with men are overrepresented.
One of my favorite lines in the paper actually says – I like it so much, I'm going to read it to you verbatim – "It is important that systems for delivering HIV and STI care and prevention be leveraged for monkeypox evaluation, vaccination and other prevention interventions, and treatment."
[On Wednesday], sort of timed with this [paper], CDC released updated guidance to some of its grantees that said that they could use both staffing and funds that are earmarked for HIV and STDs to actually support monkeypox.
It's kind of groundbreaking. It puts it into this context of this thing called a syndemic, which is like the different epidemics that interact. So it weaves monkeypox into where it belongs, which is together with the work that we do every day to prevent HIV and STIs.
Recent CDC data show that vaccination rates may be declining. It seems like we're nearing a point where many of the people who want to get vaccinated have done so. How do you make sure people get the two shots even if cases are going down?
So first, supply, supply, supply – supply is important because some of the demand changes are driven by the idea that, "There's no vaccine, so why should I look for it?"
We've addressed this with the new intradermal vaccine strategy increasing supply on the ground and with [getting] more [vials], whether it's from the company overseas, or with onshore fill-and-finish of the vaccine.
We've [sent vaccine doses to] some large events that signal "the doctor is open" and vaccines are more accessible.
The other work that we're doing is around equity. We [recently sent doses to] Atlanta Black Pride, where they did almost 4,000 vaccines, also with Southern Decadence in New Orleans, where they did about 3,500. Those are the big versions.
But we'll also soon be releasing a pathway to small equity interventions that are for niche, more innovative ideas that reach deeper into the community.
Is there a danger that people are looking at the current numbers and saying "monkeypox is slowing, so I don't need a vaccine?"
Always, there's a risk of people saying, "Oh look, the curve is down and we're going to move on." But we've been really good about messaging that two vaccines plus two weeks means that you have optimal coverage. So the experience I'm hearing so far is that people are interested in getting their two shots and they just want [health authorities] to open up availability [so they can] get them.
What's it been like for you to be in such a visible role as the gay/queer person that's the face of the White House monkeypox response?
My very first hour of doing this, I got to meet with the President and he said my job is to make sure that we're really working hard for the LGBTQ community, especially in the vein of equity. So literally, I landed and was told to do exactly what I love doing. It's been great.
I get to work with Bob Fenton, [the White House Monkeypox Response Coordinator], who is like a rock star from the perspective of large event emergencies. I'm learning some really valuable things from him that are definitely outside my normal wheelhouse.
Is there any tension between the role you have as a government official versus your longtime work as an HIV doctor and gay health advocate?
There's being the doctor for one person at a time and then there's being a doctor for an entire community and our entire population. There's a very specific responsibility you have when you're making decisions for millions of people. I value [my time working with patients]. I feel like those experiences with individual humans and patients end up making all of this make sense to me.

The Indian arm of Canada-headquartered clean energy investment firm Amp Energy has teamed with manufacturer Websol Energy System to produce up to 1.2 GW of monocrystalline PERC solar cells and modules.
The two companies will form a joint venture for PV production. Cells and modules will be produced in two phases of 600 MW each at Websol’s existing unit at Falta in West Bengal, said Amp Energy India, as it announced the signing of a term sheet for the establishment of the joint venture.
Amp Energy, which has a 2 GW portfolio of renewable energy projects built or under contract in Australia, said its entry into PV manufacturing was a “natural progression” and will help it to better control the supply chain.
“We believe that our entry into manufacturing would not only help in backward integration but also help us have better control over the supply chain of critical components,” Amp Energy India chief executive Pinaki Bhattacharyya said.
Websol will hold a 51% stake in the manufacturing venture, while Amp Energy will own the remaining 49%.
The project will be financed via a combination of debt and equity. It will supply up to 50% of its output to Amp Energy India under an off-take agreement. The rest of the power will be sold on the market, in order to fill the demand-supply gap for cells and modules in India.
Amp Energy is pursuing plans to develop the 1.3 GW Renewable Energy Hub of South Australia (REHSA). The $2 billion project hub would include large-scale solar, wind, and battery energy storage assets in South Australia, including three solar projects at Robertstown (636 MW), Bungama (336 MW) and Yoorndoo Ilga (388 MW), supported by a total energy storage capacity of 540 MW.
As well as its operations in Australia, Amp Energy has established footholds in North America, Japan, Spain, the UK, and India where it has a renewable energy portfolio of more than 2 GW across 15 states in India.

Why experts say lawns should become a thing of the past
Grass is under siege in the western United States. A new Las Vegas law requires homeowners to get rid of their lawns by 2027, and some cities in California are even paying residents to rip up their lawns and replace them with drought-friendly alternatives. The measures are intended to help save water, which has become increasingly scant in drought-stricken states like California.

New study on financial management in higher ed shows that budgeting flexibility is the key to security
The decades-long decline in U.S. college enrollment experienced its largest two-year decrease in more than 50 years this spring. Universities increasingly face stiffer competition with less money from state budgets, which does not bode well for their financial security. A new study from the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ) finds that the universities thriving in this environment are doing more with less simply by adopting more flexible budgeting. The problem is, many universities face internal and external pressures that inhibit financial flexibility.

Wildfire poses greater threat to cannabis than other California crops
Wildfires are an increasing threat to people's lives, property and livelihoods, especially in rural California communities. Cannabis, one of California's newer and more lucrative commercial crops, may be at a higher risk of loss from wildfire because it is mostly confined to being grown in rural areas, according to new research by scientists in the Department of Environmental Science Policy and Management at UC Berkeley.

An accused double murderer has been released on bail due to flaws in the prosecution’s case, which relies on DNA to allege he killed two Melbourne siblings more than 30 years ago.
Glen William Nash is facing trial over the murder of Doris McCartney, 71, and her brother, Ronald Swann, 69, between October 21 and 22, 1989. Their bodies were found in the Moorabbin home they shared.
Nash was arrested and charged with murder in April 2021 after a cold case review tied his DNA to the crime scene.
However, Victoria’s Supreme Court on Monday heard Nash has applied for the case to be discontinued due to issues around admissibility of his DNA sample.
He claimed there were continuity and secondary transfer issues with the sample and alleged there were two viable alternative suspects in the case, one of whom has since died.
Nash’s bail application was not opposed by the prosecution, which is seeking another three months to conduct further DNA testing, the court heard.
Justice Jane Dixon agreed to grant Nash bail due to “flaws” in the prosecution case, which relies heavily on DNA evidence.
“There are a number of aspects of the prosecution case which will prove challenging for the Crown – bearing in mind the burden on the Crown to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” she said.
“I do not find it surprising that the defence has applied for discontinuance of the proceedings.”
The court heard the prosecution was giving “careful consideration” to the application to discontinue the matter and that if a trial was to proceed, it would not begin until 2023.
Nash has been held in custody since his arrest last year and has suffered a number of health issues, including prostate cancer.
His former partner has provided a $50,000 surety to secure his release on bail. He must not leave the state or country while on bail and has had to surrender his passport.
Nash will next face court in December.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is launching a new initiative to encourage biotech production and research in the U.S., the latest move by the White House to boost domestic industry.
Biden on Monday signed an executive order implementing the initiative and later, in remarks at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, will address how biotech can help fight cancer. On Wednesday, the Democratic president's administration will host a summit and announce new investments from several federal agencies, according to a White House fact sheet.
The initiative will seek to boost biomanufacturing in pharmaceuticals but also in other industries such as agriculture, plastics and energy. A senior administration official wouldn't say how much funding will be announced Wednesday.
Biomanufacturing processes can program microbes to make specialty chemicals and compounds, the fact sheet said. Biomanufacturing can be used to make alternatives to oil-based chemicals, plastics and textiles.
The executive order follows bipartisan legislation Biden signed last month that provided $52 billion to subsidize the production of semiconductors, construction of new chip plants and research and development in the United States.
That legislation was intended to reduce the U.S. economy's reliance on semiconductors made overseas, particularly in Taiwan, and to respond to greater efforts by China to develop its own chip industry.
Biden touted the benefits of the semiconductor law on Friday, in a stop in Columbus, Ohio, where chip giant Intel has broken ground on a new $20 billion factory.
The administration official, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and insisted on anonymity, said the White House wants to support manufacturing biotech products that are developed in the U.S., rather than seeing American innovations produced abroad.
“We’re aiming to expand domestic biomanufacturing capacity so that more of what’s invented in America is made in America,” the official said. "Other countries, including and especially China, are aggressively investing in this sector, which poses risks to U.S. leadership and competitiveness.”

Mumbai, Sep 12: Non-bank lenders' asset growth will jump to a four-year high of 11-12 per cent this fiscal, a ratings agency said on Monday.
The non-bank finance companies (NBFCs) segment has witnessed three consecutive years of constrained asset growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the growth coming at 5 per cent in FY22, Crisil Ratings said.
However, its deputy chief ratings officer Krishnan Sitaraman said that even as the asset growth jumps to double digits, it will still be lower than the pre-pandemic levels which witnessed a 20 per cent growth during the three years to FY19.
"Intense competition from banks and the rising interest rate scenario will limit the competitiveness of NBFCs in certain segments, leading them to focus on higher-yield segments for growth," he said.
Vehicle finance, which constitutes nearly half of the assets for NBFCs, will grow at 11-13 per cent in FY23, as against 3-4 per cent in FY22 and FY21, the agency said.
Used vehicle financing, with its higher yields, will see higher growth and will drive the NBFC volume in vehicle finance, it said.
Other trends which will help asset growth will be improvements in vehicle sales, strong demand from infra sector and need for fleet replacements, it said, adding that new launches will drive car and utility vehicle sales.
Competition from banks and the rising interest rate scenario will take the edge off NBFCs in the new vehicle finance segment and allow banks to gain market share in this space, it said.
The agency's director Ajit Velonie said unsecured loans, which have the second-largest share at about a fifth of the NBFC AUM pie, may be the only segment to touch the pre-COVID era growth of 20-22 per cent this fiscal, as lenders focus on higher-yield assets.
The cautious approach of NBFCs had resulted in a decline in AUM for this segment in fiscal 2021, while fiscal 2022 saw a V-shaped recovery, he added.
Unsecured loans comprise consumer loans (personal loans and consumer durable loans) and business loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Consumer loans will be supported by rising retail spend across consumer durables, travel, and other personal consumption activities, while business loans will benefit from macroeconomic tailwinds given the expected growth of 7.3 per cent in gross domestic product (GDP) this fiscal, it said.
Loans against property are also expected to touch 10-12 per cent growth, though competition will keep higher growth at bay in this space, too.
Gold loans are expected to attain their steady state growth rate of 10-12 per cent supported by demand from micro enterprises and individuals – to fund working capital and personal requirements, respectively, the agency said.
Wholesale finance, which has seen a number of players exit the market over the past few years, will continue to lag with declining AUM, it said.
Higher-than-expected interest rates and inflation remain key monitorables, the agency said.

ROYAL fans have been praising the sweet moment Meghan Markle hugged a mourning fan in Windsor.
The Sussexes had reunited with Prince William and Kate Middleton for the surprise visit, and a body language expert claims Meghan gave three clear signs she needed “comfort”.
Judi James told Fabulous: “Meghan’s hug here is way up the scale in terms of both touch, proximity and signals of affection, with a suggestion of offering comfort over the woman they are there to mourn.”
She said that the first sign that Meghan did that revealed she needed “comfort” was in her smile.
Judi explained: “She uses an intentional gesture to make the hug look and feel natural, touching the woman with one hand and offering a smile and head tilt of sympathy to signal a request for a hug might not offend.”
Secondly, her “head rests on the woman’s shoulder to signal a longer time for the hug than anything too speedy.”
And Judi added: “She closes her eyes and smiles to suggest she is savouring the affection.”
In the heartwarming moment, Meghan walked over to a section of the crowd and approached a teenager, who was seen putting her hand over her mouth in shock.
The pair spoke briefly for a few moments and Meghan could be seen assuring her by putting her hand on her shoulder.
The girl then said: "Can I have a hug?" and Meghan was seen nodding, before leaning in and giving her a big hug.

The young mourner spoke of the moment she hugged Meghan saying she wanted to “show her that she’s welcome” in Britain.
And a close-up clip has revealed the fan's encounter with the Duchess of Sussex as well as Meghan's touching comment about the Royals that shows she considers herself part of the family.
Meghan can be seen approaching the fan asking her name to which the 14-year-old girl responds "Amelka".
"How beautiful" Meghan can be heard saying.
"Thank you for being here, it means so much for the family, we appreciate it," she adds.
She then asks the fan how long she's been waiting before repeating "we appreciate you being here".
The young girl then asks if she can hug her to which Meghan responds "of course".

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Monday that her government will not pursue any moves to change the country into a republic following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Ardern said she thought New Zealand will eventually become a republic, and it would probably happen within her lifetime, but that there were more pressing issues for her government.
The remarks were her first about the New Zealand republic debate since the queen’s death, and reflect previous comments she has made on the issue. Ardern has also previously expressed her support for the country eventually becoming a republic.
Under the current system, the British monarch is New Zealand’s head of state, represented in New Zealand by a governor-general. The governor-general’s role these days is considered primarily ceremonial.
Still, many people argue that New Zealand won’t fully step out from the shadows of its colonialist past and become a truly independent nation until it becomes a republic.
“There’s been a debate, probably for a number of years,” Ardern said. “It’s just the pace, and how widely that debate is occurring. I’ve made my view plain many times. I do believe that is where New Zealand will head, in time. I believe it is likely to occur in my lifetime.
“But I don’t see it as a short-term measure or anything that is on the agenda any time soon,” Ardern said.
She said that becoming a republic was not something her government planned to discuss at any point.
“As I say, in large part actually because I’ve never sensed the urgency,” Ardern said. “There are so many challenges we face. This is a large, significant debate. I don’t think it’s one that would or should occur quickly.”
The death of Elizabeth and ascension of King Charles III to the throne has revived the republic debate in many countries around the world.
Charles became the head of state not only in the United Kingdom and New Zealand but also in 13 other countries, including Canada, Jamaica and Australia.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese started laying the groundwork for an Australian republic after he was elected in May. But he said Sunday that now is not the time for a change but rather for paying tribute to Elizabeth. He previously said that holding a referendum on becoming a republic is not a priority of his first term in government.
Many people in New Zealand have speculated in the past that the republic debate would gather momentum only after the death of Elizabeth, given how beloved she was by so many.
Ardern said she didn’t link the two events. “I’ve never attached it in that way,” she said.
Elizabeth’s image features on many of New Zealand’s coins and banknotes. prompting the nation’s central bank to advise people the currency depicting her remains legal tender following her death.
Ardern also announced Monday that New Zealand will mark the death of Elizabeth with a public holiday on Sept. 26. The nation will hold a state memorial service on that day in the capital, Wellington.
Ardern said Elizabeth was an extraordinary person and many New Zealanders would appreciate the opportunity to mark her death and celebrate her life.
“As New Zealand’s queen and much-loved sovereign for over 70 years, it is appropriate that we mark her life of dedicated public service with a state memorial service and a one-off public holiday,” Ardern said.
Ardern said she will leave this week for Britain to attend Elizabeth’s funeral.

Thoughts turn to Alpinista, as Rausing ticks elusive Classic box
With a huge date in Paris looming, Kirsten Rausing was delighted to fulfil a lifelong ambition on Sunday before Alpinista goes for glory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
One of the great owner-breeders, Rausing bred St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov, who is trained by Roger Varian for Bahraini owners KHK Racing. From her many achievements in the sport, it was a first British Classic as a breeder for Rausing.
Rausing told Great British Racing International: “I am thrilled and delighted. Eldar Eldarov is from such a wonderful family, one which I first got involved with when I was a schoolgirl back in the 1960s and one which just keeps on giving.
“It has always been my ambition to win an English Classic and we have gone agonisingly close a couple of times in the Epsom Derby in the past, first with Dragon Dancer, who was beaten a short head by Sir Percy, who, ironically, we now have standing here at Lanwades, and then with Fame And Glory, who was second to Sea The Stars before going on to win the Irish Derby.”
With the Classic box ticked, Rausing is turning her attention to Europe’s middle-distance championship with the Sir Mark Prescott-trained Alpinista.
The grey mare has won a remarkable five Group Ones in a row, most recently at York.
“Now that I have finally won one, I would like to look further afield with his first cousin, Alpinista, in the Arc,” Rausing said. “So far so good with her since the Yorkshire Oaks, everything seems to be going to plan.
“And then there is Zaaki, who is being aimed for the Cox Plate and made a winning comeback the other day.
“All At Sea is here at Lanwades and is in foal to Study Of Man. She has a most lovely yearling filly by Study Of Man who I am going to keep and a colt foal by Lope De Vega who is going to the (Tattersalls) December Foal sales.”

The Nissan Leaf will finally get bidirectional charging in the United States, and it won’t affect the EV’s warranty, Nissan confirmed this past week.
Leaf models have for years had the hardware for bidirectional charging, which allows electric cars to discharge stored energy from their battery packs. And while Nissan has allowed and enabled the capability in some other markets, it hasn’t officially enabled the feature for the U.S. market until now.
For now, Nissan is only allowing bidirectional charging with the Fermata Energy FE-15 charger, which meets the UL 9741 standard. This was the first charger to comply with UL 9741, back in 2020, Fermata claims.
Fermata also has an energy-management app that monitors energy use by buildings, and can draw power from EVs during high-demand periods to lessen stress on the grid, Nissan says.
The automaker claims the Leaf is the only all-electric passenger vehicle in the U.S. market currently able to supply power to the grid. Ford beat Nissan to the market, however, with a factory-approved system for the F-150 Lightning, with inverter, disconnect switch, and a battery pack, to disconnect during brownouts and back up the home—and it’s studying grid-buffering capability. Hyundai has advertised vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability for vehicles based on its E-GMP platform, allowing them to power tools or other electronic devices; a more comprehensive home system from Hyundai is on the way.
This capability has been a long time coming.
The Leaf’s CHAdeMO standard enabled bidirectional charging essentially from the start (although Nissan appears to say that it’s been enabled in U.S. models from 2013 on). Nissan revealed its Leaf-To-Home charging station for other markets in 2012.
So although you’ll need to invest in a new charger, you might not need a new EV, or even a nearly new one, to take advantage of this flexibility.
In the interim, Wallbox has advertised what appeared to be the first Leaf-compatible bidirectional home charging station for the U.S. since 2020. In a response to Green Car Reports, Nissan verified that it is not yet approved in the same way and couldn’t yet comment on that approval status.

Peconic Community School to purchase Sacred Heart campus in Cutchogue
Peconic Community School is in contract to purchase the 10.2 acre Sacred Heart R.C. Church campus in Cutchogue, the school announced.
The private school, which educates more than 100 students from pre-K through 8th grade, intends to utilize the new property as its permanent home beginning in fall 2023.
The sale includes not only the former Our Lady of Mercy Regional School, but also the neighboring church and rectory buildings and surrounding woodlands, said PCS co-executive director Liz Casey Searl.
“Having been raised in this parish, we are humbled by the opportunity to steward this iconic and beautiful property into the future in a way that honors its past and the vision for the future of the North Fork,” said Ms. Casey Searl, who co-founded and runs the school with her sister, Kathryn Casey Quigley. “From preserving the green space and woods, to restoring the historic church building, we look forward to partnering with the wider community to preserve and transform the property into a community hub of educational and arts programming on the North Fork. It’s truly a dream come true.”
PCS, which describes itself as a non-profit independent, progressive school, currently leases space at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Aquebogue, where it has been based since its inception in 2012. Its founders said they have always envisioned a larger campus that could serve “as a cultural, arts and educational resource for the wider community.”
Eventually, they hope to expand to include “after school and summer camp offerings; update the carriage house into an art studio with a community kiln and to preserve and improve the property’s wooded acreage with trails.”
Our Lady of Mercy closed in 2018. The church closed at the end of 2012.

DONCASTER, England (AP) — British horse racing paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on Sunday as the late monarch’s favorite sport returned after a two-day pause following her death.
Two minutes of silence was held at Doncaster before the first race of a schedule that included the St. Leger flat-racing classic, which the queen’s horse Dunfermline won in 1977 for one of her most prestigious victories.
A video showing the queen at various races through the years, along with some of her greatest triumphs as an owner, then played on the big screens.
“No one person ever has, or ever will, do so much for so long for horse racing, than did her majesty the queen,” narrator Brough Scott, a former jockey turned TV presenter, said during the video. “The sport worldwide will forever be in her debt.”
It was followed by a long ovation from the jockeys and officials who lined up for the tribute ceremony.
The day of racing took place as the queen’s coffin was passing through the Scottish countryside Sunday in a hearse driving from her summer estate Balmoral Castle — where she died Thursday at the age of 96 — to Holyroodhouse palace in Edinburgh. The journey took the hearse through Dunfermline, the small town after which her classic-winning horse was named, where a crowd lined an overhead bridge to watch it pass.
At Doncaster, Eldar Eldarov produced a late surge over the final furlong to win this year’s St. Leger by two lengths.
“The whole nation is saddened by the loss of the queen, everyone in racing has been hit hard as we’ve lost our patron really,” Eldar Eldarov’s trainer Roger Varian said. “We’re grateful racing went ahead today, I think it’s what she would have wanted.”
Horse racing was the big sporting fascination of the queen, who became one of the biggest faces of the sport both in Britain and globally.
She had more than 1,800 winners as a racehorse owner, with her jockeys always wearing purple, gold and scarlet — the colors of the storied royal racing silks also used by father and great grandfather.
Jockey Frankie Dettori rode more than 50 winners for the queen over the last 30 years. On Sunday he won the Coral Champagne Stakes on Chaldean but refrained from his usual flying dismount for a more muted celebration.
“There is a bit of an empty mood in the weighing room,” Dettori told Sky Sports. “I didn’t jump off out of respect. Listen we’re carrying on, but it’s still fresh in our memory and we have to deal with. But we’re going to miss her a lot.”

DENVER, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - BellRock Brands Inc. ("BellRock" or the "Company") (CSE: BRCK.U) an industry-leading cannabis consumer packaged goods ("CPG") and intellectual property platform, announces that Chairman of the Board of Directors, Andrew Schweibold, and Director, Jonathan Rosenthal, are resigning in good standing with the Company from their respective roles on the Board, effective immediately.
Schweibold and Rosenthal have served BellRock as Directors since BR Brands, LLC ("BR Brands") completed its reverse takeover of Dixie Brands Inc. ("Dixie") in October of 2020, with Schweibold serving as the Company's Board Chairman during that same time.
"Alongside current restructuring efforts at the business, I believe it is an appropriate time for me to step aside as Chairman to allow the future leaders of the Company to drive BellRock forward," said Andrew Schweibold. "Rose Capital recently introduced West 4th Holdings to lead the Company through its next evolution and, in short order, they have driven material changes in improving the Company's profitability, operations, and capital structure. I leave the BellRock Board knowing that the Company is in the very capable hands of West 4th and I continue to believe in the strength of the BellRock platform and its future as a leading cannabis CPG company." Schweibold added, "I would like to thank the BellRock Board and management for all of our collective work together to overcome a myriad of challenges during particularly challenging times. While I am resigning from the Board, Rose and myself will continue to support BellRock and I look forward to the Company's next chapter."
West 4th Holdings co-founder, Zachary L. Venegas, said, "Rose Capital's prescient vision of a national CPG platform built upon leading brands led to a brand platform unique in its size and scope, and it continues to evolve and advance. West 4th is focused on supporting their pioneering work by focusing on critical company performance and governance. Venegas added, "the Company would like to thank Rose for all their efforts and support over the years in building BellRock alongside of management."
The Company will timely seek to fill the vacant Director positions.
BellRock also announces an agreement in principle for one of its U.S. subsidiaries to purchase JRMI27, LLC ("JRMI27"), a medical and adult use marijuana product manufacturer located in Jackson, Michigan, subject to approval by Michigan's Cannabis Regulatory Agency and applicable local agencies. BellRock's flagship brands, Dixie Brands™ and Mary's Medicinals®, currently enjoy a presence in Michigan under a Licensing Agreement with JRMI27, but the acquisition of the license by the subsidiary of the Company, if approved, will offer BellRock a lasting presence in the Michigan market.
"The agreement to acquire JRMI27 is a product of BellRock's focused efforts to build and ultimately control the Company's brands and growth initiatives in both the country's emerging and most established markets," said Brian Jansen, CEO of BellRock. "This is yet another step by BellRock towards its goal of being a national industry leader and the premier cannabis house of brands."
BellRock Brands is a cannabis multi-state house of brands and intellectual property focused CPG operator that possesses one of the industry's broadest branded product portfolios. BellRock's two flagship brands, Dixie Brands and Mary's Medicinals, offer over 200 SKUs and reaches nearly every key consumer group and addresses the needs of a diverse cannabis consumer base. The BellRock manufacturing and distribution footprint continues to expand and currently spans nine US states and Canada, and the Company holds strategic alliances with licensed production facilities in its largest markets.

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III pledged Monday to follow his late mother’s example of “selfless duty” as he addressed lawmakers from both houses of parliament in London before he was to fly to Edinburgh to be with the late queen’s coffin as it lies at rest in the Scottish capital.
Earlier, Queen Elizabeth II’s grandson Prince Harry hailed her as a “guiding compass” and praised her “unwavering grace and dignity.”
Hundreds of lawmakers crowded into the 1,000-year-old Westminster Hall at the Houses of Parliament for the service, rich in pageantry, in which Parliament offered its condolences to the king, and he replied.
A trumpet fanfare greeted the king and his wife Camilla, the queen consort, as they entered the hall, which was packed with hundreds of legislators.
Charles told members of the House of Commons and House of Lords that he would follow his late mother Queen Elizabeth II in upholding “the precious principles of constitutional governance” that underpin the U.K.’s political system.
He paid tribute to his mother, saying: “As Shakespeare said of the earlier Queen Elizabeth, she was a pattern to all princes living.”
The hall, with its magnificent hammer-beam roof, is the oldest part of the parliamentary complex — a remnant of the medieval Palace of Westminster that once stood on the site.
The ceremony was held in Westminster Hall because monarchs are not allowed inside the House of Commons. That rule dates from the 17th century, when King Charles I tried to enter and arrest lawmakers. That confrontation between crown and Parliament led to a civil war which ended with the king being beheaded in 1649.
Earlier Monday, a personal statement posted on Harry and his wife Meghan’s Archwell website said he cherished their times together “from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved greatgrandchildren.”
Amid acrimony in the House of Windsor, Harry quit as a senior royal and moved to the U.S. two years ago. On Saturday, there was a possible sign of a reconciliation as Harry and Meghan joined his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Catherine in meeting mourners outside Windsor Castle.
The national outpouring of grief continued Sunday as thousands of people lined streets and roadsides as the oak coffin was borne from the late queen’s beloved Balmoral Castle summer retreat, where she died on Thursday, to Edinburgh.
Later Monday in Edinburgh, the king will walk behind his mother’s coffin as it is slowly transported from Holyroodhouse to St. Giles’ Cathedral, where the crown of Scotland will be placed on the coffin ahead of a service of prayer and reflection on the life and 70-year reign of the widely cherished monarch.
The queen’s coffin will lie at the cathedral for 24 hours, giving members of the public a chance to file past and pay their respects. On Tuesday, it will be flown to London where the coffin will lie in state at the Houses of Parliament Palace from Wednesday afternoon until the morning of the funeral on Sept. 19.
Authorities already have issued rules and guidelines for people wanting to pay their respects in London, with a long queue expected.
After visiting Scotland, Charles embarks on a tour of the other nations that make up the United Kingdom — he visits the Northern Ireland capital, Belfast, on Tuesday and Wales on Friday.
Harry’s statement ended on a poignant note alluding to the death last year of his grandfather, Prince Philip, saying that “We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace.”

2 men charged for allegedly setting couch on fire in Morgantown after Backyard Brawl
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (WBOY) — Two West Virginia men were arrested by City of Morgantown Fire Marshals because they said the men set fire to a couch shortly after the Backyard Brawl.
CRIME: Police in Mon County find 30 grams of meth in woman’s vaginaJaden Fisher, 20, of Charleston and Cole Binion, 19, of St. Albans were charged with malicious burning, according to a press release from the fire marshals office sent Thursday, September 8, 2022.
SHOOTING: Man wanted for shooting rampage across Memphis in custodyGasoline was used as an accelerant for the fire, which was set in the middle of Cornell Avenue at around 11 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 1, according to the release.
Fisher and Binion posted $500 bond each, according to the release. Neither were listed in online West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation records as of Thursday.
Morgantown couch fires after WVU games led to the adoption of Sections 302.11 and 302.12 in the Morgantown City Code , banning residents from keeping upholstered furniture outdoors. Normally, they’re burnt when the Mountaineers win, but last week, WVU lost its matchup with Pitt.
NATIONAL: Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96The Fire Marshal’s Office is asking anyone with additional information about the fire to contact the Morgantown Fire Department at 304-284-7480.

“Now, Next, Later” – 4-5 Gray’s Inn Square hosts inaugural Future of Technology in Arbitration (FOTA) conference
LONDON – Leading chambers 4-5 Gray’s Inn Square is hosting The Future of Technology in Arbitration 2022 (FOTA22) on 16 September 2022, along with fellow co-founders Opus 2 and Arbtech, bringing together leading international arbitration practitioners and technology experts from around the world. FOTA22 is the first ever global conference focused on the very latest in cutting-edge technologies that will transform arbitration as we know it today.
Paul Cohen, international arbitration specialist at 4-5 Gray’s Inn Square, says:
“This conference really is unlike anything ever done before. We’ll be offering a specially curated selection of technologies for people to experience first-hand alongside the people who created them. Looking at everything from the use of drone footage to augmented / virtual reality in arbitration and dispute resolution, we’re bringing together leading practitioners in arbitration and technical experts to explore the full possibilities of technology in arbitration.”
Cohen also highlights a particular first – a live, interactive hologram appearance by a leading arbitration specialist.
Bringing arbitration specialists and technology professionals together in a unique format, FOTA22 will have the newest and best legal technologies on display for demonstration and explanation, allowing attendees to experience them first-hand via the FOTA Showcase.
Amrit Dhanoa, barrister and Civil and Commercial Mediator at 4-5 Gray’s Inn Square, who is moderating a panel at the event, says:
“This conference was originally planned for 2020, but technology has accelerated so fast that many of the things we would have discussed then are commonplace now. So FOTA22 will be looking at the things that in the future might be equally commonplace – and what that means for arbitration and dispute resolution. This includes everything from AI to robot arbitrators: what would that reality look like and what challenges might that bring?”
Aimed at innovation leads and professionals at law firms and barristers’ chambers, lawyers interested in technology and knowledge management leads and professionals at law firms, this first of its kind conference will follow ICCA around the world biennially in years to come, showcasing the most significant technology developments for arbitration as the decade progresses.
A panel of expert speakers will examine, explore and debate these technologies through an arbitration lens and consider their impact not just on arbitration but on the wider sphere of alternative dispute resolution.
The conference will take place at the Institute of Engineering Technology in London on 16 September 2022, ahead of ICCA Edinburgh 2022.

Cong tweets picture of khakhi shorts on fire, BJP calls it instigation for violence
Cong tweets picture of khakhi shorts on fire, BJP calls it instigation for violence
New Delhi: The Congress on Monday tweeted a picture of a khakhi shorts -- a part of the RSS uniform earlier -- on fire, drawing sharp reaction from the BJP which dubbed it as an "instigation for violence". The Congress tweeted along with the picture, "To free the country from shackles of hate and undo the damage done by BJP-RSS. Step by step, we will reach our goal." 145 days more to go, it said of the party's ongoing "Bharat Jodo Yatra".
The BJP lashed out at the Congress for its "promotion of violence" and dubbed its yatra as "Bharat Todo Yatra". Noting that many RSS, the Hindutva organisation considered the BJP's ideological mentor, members have been killed in Kerala where the Congress yatra is going presently, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra alleged that the opposition party has signalled to "terrorists" in the southern state to target their functionaries.
Patra asked the Congress to immediately take down the post, saying there is no room for violence in India's constitutional scheme of things. Hitting out at the Congress, he said the party part has had an old association with "fire". Punjab was put on fire when the party was in power and Sikhs were burnt alive during the 1984 riots, he said. (PTI)

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears were hung out to dry by their own towel during their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Trenton Gill was whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct after the rookie holder used a towel to dry off a small area of the field ahead of a potential field goal try late in the second quarter. The 15-yard penalty moved Chicago out of Cairo Santos’ range, leading to Gill’s punt.
“No one told me, but I know now. I know never to do it now,” Gill said after the Bears’ 19-10 victory.
It rained for much of Sunday morning in Chicago, soaking Soldier Field. There were splashes of water almost every time a player went to the turf.
Facing fourth-and-6 at the San Francisco 29 in the final minute of the first half, first-year Bears coach Matt Eberflus sent Santos and Gill out for the field goal.
Gill used a towel to pat down the area where the kick would be attempted, and Santos also stepped on the towel and used it to dry a different spot. Gill then cast the towel aside.
That’s when the flag hit the field.
“I honestly didn’t think I was doing anything wrong,” Santos said. “I think now I know not to use that. It wasn’t to dry because it was raining. I didn’t expect it was going to dry the field. It was just to flatten the spot and I didn’t want to do it with my foot in the water because I was just about to kick the ball. So I just did it with my hand and got called that. So I just want to take responsibility. Trent didn’t know.”
Making a wiping motion with his left arm, referee Clay Martin announced the penalty on Gill.
“You cannot bring what we consider a foreign object — this was not a towel that would go on a uniform — out to alter the playing surface,” Martin told a pool reporter after the game. “We felt that provided an unfair advantage, using the towel to wipe down the area where the ball was going to be placed.”
Martin said it would have been fine if Gill had just used the towel to wipe his hands.
“To put it on the ground and alter the playing surface where we were going to spot the ball, that’s why we called a penalty,” he said.

TOCCOA, Ga. (AP) — When Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp made one of his first general election campaign swings in August, he went straight to the modern heartland of the state’s Republican Party.
It wasn’t Buckhead, the glitzy Atlanta neighborhood where Kemp lives in a governor’s mansion dwarfed by other nearby estates. And it wasn’t suburban Cobb County, once the bastion of Newt Gingrich.
Instead, Kemp kept going north, deep into the Georgia mountains that have become one of the most Republican areas in the country over the last three decades. He stopped at a gas station turned coffee shop in Toccoa to urge people to “turn out an even bigger vote here in this county and in northeast Georgia than we’ve ever seen before.”
“Ask your kids, your grandkids, your friend’s kid, are they registered to vote?” Kemp told attendees. “If they’re eligible, and they’re not, we got to get them registered, and we’ve got to go tell them to pull it for the home team.”
The emphasis on this rural region represents a notable shift in the GOP’s strategy in Georgia. The party grew into a powerhouse in Georgia once it began combining a strong performance in the Atlanta suburbs with growing dominance in rural areas. But that coalition has frayed in recent years as voters in the booming Atlanta region rejected the GOP under former President Donald Trump, turning this onetime Republican stronghold into the South’s premier swing state.
A 41-county region, including some distant Atlanta suburbs encroaching into north Georgia, now has as many GOP voters as the core of metro Atlanta, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. Those changing dynamics have intensified pressure on Kemp to maintain — or strengthen — his support in rural mountainous communities like Toccoa to offset losses closer to the capital city.
“The party … in terms of understanding where they’re going to get votes, understands that now they need those votes in north Georgia to compensate for their losses in the suburbs,” said Bernard Fraga, an Emory University political scientist.
Kemp won the governor’s office in 2018 by defeating Democrat Stacey Abrams by just 1.4 percentage points. As the two wage a rematch for the post this year, early summer polling found a close race, with some suggesting Kemp has a narrow advantage.
But his reliance on voters like those in Toccoa is driving the party further to the right.
In a diversifying state, north Georgia is overwhelmingly white. While Democrats attack and Republicans fret over abortion restrictions in the suburbs, there’s little public wavering in the mountains. Voters love guns so much that they cut out the middleman and chose gun dealer Andrew Clyde as one of north Georgia’s two very Trumpy members of Congress. The other member? Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“It reflects a lot of the country right now, in the sense that it’s very populist, very close to the vest, very isolated in the sense of distrust of government, very strong-willed, mountain Appalachian-type individuals that are very self sufficient,” said former Rep. Doug Collins, the Republican who preceded Clyde in representing northeast Georgia’s 9th Congressional District.
Kathy Petrella, a Clarkesville retiree who was visiting the state Department of Driver Services in early September in Toccoa, said she’s a “true blue conservative.”
“It means I don’t believe in the government telling me anything I have to do, except law and order,” said Petrella, who cites her Christian faith as an important anchor of her political affiliation and fears a decline into “communism.”
Lee MacAulay of the north Georgia town of Cleveland, also visiting Toccoa, said she believes Trump won the 2020 election and calls President Joe Biden “a ridiculous joke” and “an idiot.”
“I was a Trumper,” MacAulay said. “I am a Trumper.”
She discounts the idea that lingering doubts about the 2020 election will suppress turnout as they appeared to do in the 2021 Senate runoff elections, when victories by Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff gave their party control of Congress. MacAulay said she believes many neighbors are eager to vote for Republicans this year, “but we need everybody.”
Jay Doss, a Toccoa lawyer, said he feels “working-class people are benefited more by the conservative party” and that “I just feel that less government is better for everybody.”
There was once another conservative tradition in north Georgia — in the Democratic Party. While there were always some Republicans, a legacy of white mountaineers who backed the Union over the Confederacy in the Civil War, they won few elections.
“It used to be slap Democrat. If you ran Republican, you could not get elected. Now, if you run Democrat, you ain’t got a chance much of getting elected,” said Stephens County Commissioner Dennis Bell, a Republican who owns Currahee Station, the coffee shop where Kemp campaigned in Toccoa.
That Democratic lineage, nourished by the 1930s-era New Deal, produced former Gov. Zell Miller, a proud son of the mountains and titan of Georgia Democratic politics a generation ago.
Miller rode high in the 1990s as a Democrat who combatted crime and overhauled welfare, while creating lottery-funded college scholarships. Miller even squeaked out a reelection victory in the 1994 “Republican Revolution” that vaulted Gingrich to U.S. House speaker.
That year, Miller actually lost his home region to Republican Guy Millner, a self-financed millionaire businessman. But Miller lost by fewer than 4,000 votes across north Georgia, and Millner’s strength in suburban Atlanta wasn’t enough, leaving the Republican 32,000 votes short statewide.
By 2004, as a U.S. senator, Miller was giving the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention that renominated George W. Bush. By then, Miller had written “A National Party No More,” a book that blamed his own party for abandoning Southern conservative Democrats.
“Obviously, southerners believe the national Democratic Party does not share their values,” Miller wrote in the 2003 book. “They do not trust the national party with their money or the security of the country.”
North Georgia was 19% of Millner’s vote in 1994. It was 26% of Kemp’s vote in 2018. Some of that is due to population growth, but reflects a partisan shift to Republicans. Millner won less than 51% of the vote in the region. Kemp won almost 72%.
Democrats, enduring steep decline, grew demoralized. June Krise, who then chaired the Democratic Party in north Georgia’s White County, remembers crying when the county probate judge, clerk of court and sheriff all switched to run as Republicans.
“’If we don’t switch, we will lose because the Republicans are going to run somebody against us,’” Krise remembers the men telling her. “And guess why they were going to lose. Barack Obama was the Democratic nominee for president.”
Republicans say formerly Democratic voters gravitated to their party because of cultural issues, but those who study the electorate note white voters are much more likely to be Republican, and Appalachia made a hard turn against Obama, the nation’s first Black president.
“The Republican Party has now started organizing itself, I think, to be more in line with the white people who are there — more rural, less urban-interested, even less suburban-interested, in terms of the state party,” Fraga said. “And that’s looks more like North Georgia in a lot of ways.”
Fraga sees the split in the Georgia Republican Party over Trump’s attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential victory in Georgia in part as a conflict between suburban and rural. Suburban-identified politicians including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger were willing to oppose Trump, Fraga said, while Republicans representing more rural areas, such as Greene, were “on the Trump train.”
Democrats have been trying to rebuild. Mike Maley, a Toccoa pediatrician who chairs the Stephens County Democratic Party, says just getting people on the ballot helps get the message out.
“I have hope for our community,” Maley said. “I feel like we can make a difference and this is worth fighting for.”
Democrats note that even if they’re not going to win in places like Stephens County, where more than 80% of voters chose Kemp in 2018 and Trump in 2020, each additional vote counts in Georgia’s ultra-close statewide elections. That’s what brought Abrams to the mountain town of Clayton on July 28.
“Why would you go there?” Abrams told Rabun County Democrats she was asked about her trip. “Because counties don’t vote, people do.”
Abrams’ strategy is simple. Get more Democrats to vote across the state, backed up by a campaign that sometimes seems focused more on rural areas than her home turf of Atlanta.
“We’ve got to boost turnout dramatically across the board,” Abrams said that day. “But we’ve already seen it’s possible.”
But many voters, like Bell, will be looking to Kemp and other Republicans. The Stephens County commissioner says Democrats are “going way too far to the left” and says debt, spending and restrictions on oil and gas drilling make a GOP vote in north Georgia “a no-brainer.”

Eminem‘s recent collaboration with Kanye West and DJ Khaled on the remix of ‘Use This Gospel’ has topped the US Christian singles chart.
The song, a remix of Kanye West‘s ‘Use This Gospel’ that originally appeared on Ye’s 2019 album ‘Jesus Is King’, features on Khaled’s recent 13th studio album, ‘God Did’.
Khaled’s version features a guest appearance from Eminem, reuniting the two rappers for the first time since 2009’s ‘Forever’, which also featured Drake and Lil Wayne.
On the remix, Eminem delivers a characteristically rapid-fire verse that seems him reflect on struggling to maintain his faith: “Please let this hate make me stronger, for they turned on me like a zombie / It’s like I’m being strangled unconscious, when temptation is almost like Satan is baiting you.”
It’s now reported by Chart Data that the song has debuted at the top of the Hot Christian Songs chart, giving both Eminem and Khaled their first appearance at the summit of this particular chart.
Ye, meanwhile, topped the Christian Album Chart for ‘Jesus Is King’.
.@djkhaled, @kanyewest and @Eminem's "Use This Gospel (Remix)" debuts at #1 on this week's Hot Christian Songs chart. DJ Khaled and Eminem earn their first #1 hit.
— chart data (@chartdata) September 7, 2022
The news of Eminem’s latest chart-topping track comes after Drake earned his 11th US Number One album with the release of his latest LP ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ this summer, moving him past Kanye West and Eminem to tie Bruce Springsteen and Barbara Streisand for the third most Number Ones in Billboard 200 history, trailing only The Beatles (19) and JAY-Z (14).
Elsewhere, Eminem has revealed that he had to retrain himself to rap following his 2007 accidental overdose on methadone. The rapper was appearing on the latest episode of his manager Paul Rosenberg’s podcast Paul Pod, where he spoke about the overdose and having to relearn his craft.
“I remember when I first got sober and all the shit was out of my system, I remember just being, like, really happy and everything was fucking new to me again,” he said about working on his 2009 album ‘Relapse’.
“It was the first album and the first one that I had fun recording in a long time.”
He continued: “It was like the first time I started having fun with music again and relearning how to rap. You remember that whole process, [it] took a long time for my brain to start working again.”
Elsewhere, Eminem released his second greatest hits collection ‘Curtain Call 2’ last month.

HughesNet Fusion plans combine satellite and wireless technologies for a high-speed, low-latency internet experience
GERMANTOWN, Md, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), an innovator in satellite communications for over 50 years, today announced it started rolling out a new low-latency satellite internet offering to consumers in select U.S. markets. Available as HughesNet® Fusion plans, the multipath offering seamlessly blends Geostationary (GEO) satellite and wireless technologies into a fast and responsive satellite internet experience.
"With HughesNet Fusion plans, we are solving the latency challenge inherent with GEO technology, while maximizing the many advantages of these time-tested satellites, including low cost, reliability, dense capacity and widespread availability," said Pradman Kaul, president of Hughes. "GEO satellites are the workhorses of the connected ecosystem, essential for meeting the demand for connectivity everywhere, particularly in rural areas, whether alone or in combination with other transports such as wireless and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites."
The Hughes multipath technology was previewed for reporters at the SATELLITE conference in March 2022. Today, HughesNet customers in select markets who want a faster, more responsive satellite internet experience can take advantage of the HughesNet Fusion plans.
Kaul continued: "We are rapidly entering an era in which hybrid connectivity—both multi-transport and multi-orbit—will be commonplace. To realize that connected future, at Hughes we are integrating different transports with smart technologies and managed services to create a dynamic, always-on, connected environment that we call the ActiveComms Ecosystem. The HughesNet Fusion plans are an outcome of that approach."
"HughesNet Fusion plans elevate satellite internet as we know it today," said Peter Gulla, senior vice president, Hughes. "The multipath solution represents our continued commitment to meet the changing needs of those who live where other high-speed providers do not reach. The launch of our ultra-high density JUPITER™ 3 satellite next year will bring further service enhancements, including service plans with speeds up to 100 Mbps down."
When using satellites for internet access, signals travel a long distance from device to a satellite in space and back. The time it takes for the signal to travel is known as latency. This delay doesn't impact most online activities but can be noticeable when, for instance, browsing content-rich sites and video conferencing.
Delivering low-latency satellite connectivity with 25 Mbps download speeds and No Hard Data Limits, HughesNet Fusion plans are available today to HughesNet customers in select regions across the country. Hughes aims to roll out the offering in markets across the U.S. later this year.

Louise Dickerson
Louise Dickerson was born in Rockford, IL, on April 4, 1927, to John and Hulda Ahlquist which gave her a 100% Swedish heritage and died on August 12, 2022, in Greenwood, SC.
Louise Dickerson
Louise Dickerson was born in Rockford, IL, on April 4, 1927, to John and Hulda Ahlquist which gave her a 100% Swedish heritage and died on August 12, 2022, in Greenwood, SC.
She was the youngest of four daughters. She married Fred Dickerson in 1972, after he was widowed. Fred Dickerson was a leader of Roper Technologies in both Rockford and Commerce, GA. She entered the Dickerson family as a stepmother of five grown men, some with wives and children. She had to assimilate into Fred’s large “ready-made” family. She was a wonderful hostess, entertaining and cooking huge, fabulous meals for her large new family, including as a consistent warm and engaging presence at family Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. Louise was just as good at providing a wonderful home for Fred Dickerson. Louise was a very talented homemaker — a wonderful cook, decorator, entertainer, and housekeeper. She did amazing needlework. When Fred got older and had heart issues, she was there to care for him in those years of declining health. With the passing of both her father and husband, Louise provided steady support to her friends at Wesley Commons, organizing fun activities and helping others with shopping and chores. The five stepsons were Steve, John, Jim, Mark, and Gregg Dickerson. There are thirteen grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.

Joe Rogan recently reacted to Nate Diaz submitting Tony Ferguson precisely at the 2:09 mark in the fourth round. The illustrious podcaster stirred up a growing theoretical discussion of reality being a stimulation after Diaz pulled off an incredible feat.
Nate Diaz walked away a free man after successfully fighting out his contractual obligations with the UFC. The Stockton slugger defeated former lightweight interim champion Tony Ferguson via guillotine choke in the fourth round of the main event of UFC 279.
The significance of Diaz finishing Ferguson precisely at the 2:09 mark stems from the American's pride in representing his hometown. Area Code 209 is located in California and covers Stockton, Modesto, Tracy, Merced, and Turlockwas.
Rogan reacted to Diaz's spectacular victory in an Instagram post by speculating that we are living in a simulation:
"Im starting to think that maybe we really are in a simulation. Holy sh**."
The concept of stimulation has fascinated intellectuals and explorers of consciousness. Simulation theory postulates that we are living in an extremely powerful computer program.
Joe Rogan and Elon Musk once discussed the likelihood of us living in a stimulation
The Joe Rogan Experience, hosted by American comedian and UFC commentator Joe Rogan, is arguably one of the largest platforms in the world. Over the years, the podcast has developed a cult-like following owing to its range of subject matter and wide spectrum of guest speakers.
Joe Rogan's episode with business magnate and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk broke records as the most viewed JRE episode with over 56 million views. Musk expounded on his philosophy that we are already most likely living in a simulation.
Rogan's enchantment in exploring consciousness, space odyssey, and futurism is commonly known by now. Musk touched upon the subject during his appearance on the podcast:
“If you assume any rate of improvement at all then games will be indistinguishable from reality or civilisation will end. One of those two things will occur. Therefore, we are most likely in a simulation. As we know, the universe will dissipate into a fine mist of cold nothingness eventually, so I think it’s really about how we can make it last longer.''

Decreasing clouds today, showers on Tuesday

Gov. Parson to tour New Madrid Co. bridge project
NEW MADRID COUNTY, Mo. (KFVS) - Governor Mike Parson is scheduled to tour a bridge replacement project in New Madrid County on Monday, September 12.
The governor is expected to tour the Route 162 repair project west of Portageville at 9 a.m.
Crews are currently replacing a bridge and culvert over a drainage ditch. Work began on August 8.
Gov. Parson had planned to visit the site between Route B and County Road 361 in August, but the event was canceled because of inclement weather.
In January, the state announced Robertson Contractors, Inc. was awarded the $3,569,407 contract.
The bridge is one of the projects included in Parson’s $351 million “Focus on Bridges” program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
The new bridge is expected to be completed by Sunday, September 25.

- High boot leads to dismissal
- Boca hold on for the win
- Benedetto celebrated like Spider-Man
WHAT HAPPENED? The experienced Argentine defender, who is now captain at La Bombonera, was dismissed in the closing stages of a fiery derby date after kicking rival Nicolas De La Cruz in the head. The 32-year-old is accustomed to sparking controversy, having previously been caught on camera throwing punches and wielding a fire extinguisher during a tunnel bust-up, but saw his team-mates hold on against bitter foes to claim a 1-0 win.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Dario Benedetto grabbed the only goal of the game for Boca against River, with the Argentina international striker breaking out his best Spider-Man impression after finding the target as he scaled the fences which prevent passionate supporters from flooding onto the pitch.

WHAT NEXT FOR ROJO? Boca sit at the top of the table in Argentina, one point clear of River, and Rojo – who previously took in 112 appearances for Manchester United – will be hoping to add to a medal collection that includes FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League honours.

EMOTIONAL King Charles today pledged to follow his beloved mother's selfless duty as he grew tearful during the national anthem.
The Monarch appeared sombre in Westminster Hall as the Speakers of the Lords and Commons paid tribute to the Queen.
King Charles III praised his mother's unwavering service as he gave an historic address to MPs and Peers.
He said: "We gather today in remembrance of the remarkable span of The Queen’s dedicated service to her nations and peoples.
"While very young, Her late Majesty pledged herself to serve her country and her people and to maintain the precious principles of constitutional government which lie at the heart of our nation. This vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion.
It comes as...
- Charles and Camilla jet off to Edinburgh for an emotional procession following the Queen's coffin
- It's revealed Prince Andrew ‘will have central role’ at the Queen’s funeral – despite stepping back from royal duties
- But the Duke of York is banned from wearing military uniform at the service
- Prince Harry thanks his beloved 'granny' the Queen in heartfelt tribute before referencing his 'darling wife' Meghan
- Brits will hold a minute’s silence on Sunday night to honour the late Queen Elizabeth
"She set an example of selfless duty which, with God’s help and your counsels, I am resolved faithfully to follow."
The Monarch also thanked MPs and Peers for their kind words and said they "touchingly encompass what our late sovereign, my beloved mother the Queen, meant to us all".
Following the address, the audience sung a moving rendition of God Save the King that left the Monarch looking emotional.
King Charles earlier arrived at Westminster Palace in good spirits, sharing a joke as he entered Westminster Hall in morning suit.
Fanfare trumpets had heralded his arrival at the historic ceremony.
Dignitaries bowed their heads as he passed, smiling and nodding.
He was joined by his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, as they both sat in golden thrones.
Around 900 Parliamentarians gathered in Westminster Hall to witness the spectacle.
PM Liz Truss, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and former PM Boris Johnson were among those in attendance.
Most read in The Sun
Lord Speaker Lord McFall of Alcluith paid tribute to the Queen's "inspiring reign of deep and unparalleled devotion" as he pledged loyalty to the new King on behalf of the House of Lords.
Addressing Charles in Westminster Hall, he said: "Your Majesty, I welcome you and Her Majesty the Queen Consort to Parliament today on this solemn occasion.
"Her late Majesty, our treasured Queen and your beloved and deeply missed mother came here to Westminster Hall many times to receive the congratulations of her loyal subjects in the two houses of Parliament and to celebrate with them historic landmarks and her long life of dedicated public service.
"She was both a leader to and a servant of her people. Her humility and integrity commanded the respect and captured the imagination of peoples and nations across the globe."
He added: "Her late Majesty's joyous, unstinting and reassuring presence across the years made it difficult to contemplate that her long and inspiring reign of deep and unparalleled devotion would ever end.
"We and the nation closed our eyes to this inevitability. But it has ended."
Just minutes before the King was due to speak, Prince Harry released a statement paying tribute to the "everlasting grace" and "infectious smile" of his granny.
The Prince said: "I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings - from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren."
Harry offered an olive branch to his dad as he takes up his new role as monarch.
The Duke of Sussex said: "We now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III".
Westminster Hall, which was built in 1097 under William II, has hosted speeches by esteemed dignitaries including Nelson Mandela and the Pope.
In 2002, the Queen Mother lay in state in the grand building for three days.
Queen Elizabeth will also lie in state from Wednesday this week until the state funeral on Monday.
Members of the public are expected to queue for around 11 hours to view the coffin and pay their respects.
Across Friday and Saturday, MPs and peers delivered passionate tributes to Queen Elizabeth in Parliament.
Liz Truss hailed the late monarch as “one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known”.
After the King addresses Parliament at 10am, he will travel to Edinburgh, where a Ceremony of the Keys will take place at the Palace of Holyrood House.
Following the Ceremony of the Keys, the King will join the procession of the Queen's coffin to St Giles' Cathedral.
Then, the King and the Queen Consort, accompanied by other royal family members, will attend a service of prayer and reflection for the life of the Queen at St Giles' Cathedral.
The PM will jet up to Scotland to join the service.
The King will receive the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, followed by the presiding officer, at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

BD2 commits to finding answers for the 40 million individuals with bipolar disorder and those not yet diagnosed
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, three family philanthropies joined with the Milken Institute to commit $150 million to launch BD2: Breakthrough Discoveries for thriving with Bipolar Disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a serious mental health condition with dramatic and often unpredictable shifts in mood, energy, activity, and cognition, affecting at least 40 million people worldwide.
While funding for mental health has increased overall, federal funding for research related exclusively to bipolar disorder has decreased by 50% over the past 10 years. As the largest private investment focused on the study of bipolar disorder, BD2 provides an unprecedented opportunity to identify breakthroughs in scientific understanding that create new interventions so that everyone with bipolar disorder can thrive.
"For far too long, bipolar disorder has lacked funding and collaboration to identify scientific advancements and treatment improvements," said Kent Dauten, co-founder and chairman of Keystone Capital and one of three families launching the effort. "BD2 is a commitment to the 40 million people living with bipolar disorder and their loved ones."
The Baszucki, Dauten, and Brin families united with the Milken Institute to create BD2 to advance discoveries for families like theirs. David Baszucki, founder and CEO of Roblox, and Jan Ellison Baszucki, best selling author and mental health advocate, experienced the challenges of a mental health crisis firsthand in 2016 when their son was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19, and created the Baszucki Brain Research Fund to support bipolar disorder focused research. Kent Dauten and his wife, Liz, have supported bipolar disorder research extensively after two of their four children were diagnosed as teenagers. They founded the Dauten Family Center for Bipolar Treatment Innovation at Massachusetts General Hospital. Google co-founder Sergey Brin supports an array of health research initiatives aimed at breakthroughs for Parkinson's, bipolar disorder, and other neurological conditions through the Sergey Brin Family Foundation. As a think tank and global convener, the Milken Institute is playing a leadership role in BD2, designing its structure and overseeing grantmaking so that investments make a transformational impact.
"BD2 is unique in its platform-based, integrated approach to innovation in both science and clinical care," said Jan Ellison Baszucki, who together with her husband, David Baszucki, is providing initial funding. "By bringing together researchers, clinicians, funders, and those with lived experience, we hope BD2 will deliver innovative treatments like those that helped our son recover his health."
"BD2 presents an opportunity to apply experience and resources directly to bipolar research to advance our knowledge and ultimately improve diagnosis and care," said Cara Altimus, PhD, BD2's managing director and senior director at the Milken Institute. "Together, we will accelerate discoveries for bipolar disorder and demonstrate that our approach to collaborative funding and integrated research is a new model for biomedical research."
Taking learnings from the development of Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP), a core mission of BD2 is to provide unparalleled access to breakthrough insights on bipolar disorder through four unique programs. The BD2 Discovery Grants, Brain Omics, Genetics Platforms, and the Integrated Network are designed to share data, methods, and resources across initiatives and the bipolar disorder research community.
- The BD2 Discovery Grants will fund multidisciplinary teams of scientists and clinicians to develop targeted and innovative research proposals that examine the genetic, molecular, cellular, circuit, or behavioral mechanisms of bipolar disorder.
- The Brain Omics Platform will provide state-of-the-art multi omics to understand neural and non-neural changes in bipolar disorder on a molecular scale, an approach used in other brain diseases but is unprecedented in bipolar disorder studies.
- The BD2 Genetics Platform will collect and genotype a large number of samples from individuals with diverse backgrounds who experience bipolar disorder to close a fundamental gap in science's understanding of the genetic mechanisms of bipolar disorder.
- The BD2 Integrated Network is a collaborative longitudinal study with an initial focus on people living with bipolar I. The study design and infrastructure prioritize rapid implementation of research findings to improve treatment for all those living with bipolar disorder."
About BD2
Through an integrated, collaborative approach, BD2: Breakthrough Discoveries for thriving with Bipolar Disorder will address knowledge gaps in the basic disease mechanisms of bipolar disorder as well as factors influencing clinical approaches and outcomes. This initial $150 million effort provides an unprecedented opportunity to improve the lives of people with bipolar disorder and those yet to be diagnosed.
About the Milken Institute
The Milken Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank focused on accelerating measurable progress on the path to a meaningful life. With a focus on financial, physical, mental, and environmental health, we bring together the best ideas and innovative resourcing to develop blueprints for tackling some of our most critical global issues through the lens of what's pressing now and what's coming next.
About the Milken Institute Center for Strategic Philanthropy
The Milken Institute Center for Strategic Philanthropy advises individuals and foundations seeking to develop and implement transformational giving strategies. In addition, we provide resources and leadership to make the philanthropic landscape more effective. Our vision is for a more effective philanthropic ecosystem where dollars are spent strategically, donors realize the impact they seek, and people and the planet thrive.

The fall semester is typically a busy one for McCaskey student-athlete Kamiah Wright as she juggles field hockey and cross country.
She’s pretty good at both, even placing 31st at last year’s Lancaster-Lebanon League girls cross country championship race. It goes along with her running prowess on the track, where she recently placed eighth in the 800 meter run and ran a leg of the 1600 relay team that placed sixth at the AAU Junior Olympics.
That’s not to be confused with twin sister Kamyah Wright, who won three gold medals and a silver medal at the L-L track & field championship, two silver medals at the District Three championships and a silver medal at the PIAA championships last spring.
The Wright twins are both being recruited to run at the NCAA Division I level.
Kamiah is one of three McCaskey field hockey players who also run cross country (teammates Anya Frey and Morgan Stauffer are the others). On a related note, field hockey teammates Sophie McGrann and Aleximar Ruiz are also cheerleaders this fall. And cross country runner Samantha Sallie plays girls soccer.
With all that being said, LNP|LancasterOnline chatted with Kamiah Wright as part of this week’s L-L Fall Sports Q&A. That conversation is below. It has been edited for clarity and length.
How do you juggle field hockey and cross country?
“I don’t really run with them (cross country team). I do my own miles by myself. I just do the (cross country) meets and invitationals when I can.”
What is a Monday through Friday like for you?
“I end school at 11:30 each day. Then I go home and I come back to school for field hockey practice. Then sometimes after that I run a mile. Then on Saturdays and Sundays I go out and run again.”
What has the college recruitment process been like for you recently?
“It’s been busy. Emails from colleges. I visited St. Joe’s University. I’m going to go back there again. I’m going to meet up with Dayton and Richmond soon. It’s been stressful. You have to pick the right one. I want to pick the right one so I stay there for a long time.”
What position in field hockey do you play and what responsibilities does that entail?
“Right wing. Either stopping the ball when the other team has it, and I usually just run the ball up and hit it into the circle so one of my teammates can get a goal.”
What are the goals on the field hockey team?
“Just to make a goal one day. I’ve never scored a goal yet.”
Time for some fun questions. You find a genie in a bottle and get one wish. What is it?
“To be able to time travel.”
What was your favorite childhood toy?
“Barbie dolls.”
If you could have one superpower, what is it and why?
“To be able to fly. I could beat traffic and won’t be late.”
You’re good at field hockey and running track and cross country. What sport are you the worst at?
“Softball. I’m not good at catching anything.”
If you could get tickets to any sporting event or concert, what would it be?
“A concert with my friends. Tyler, the Creator.”
What advice would you give to freshman Kamiah Wright?
“School is very important.”

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — A 55-year-old woman has died in northern Greece after her husband allegedly doused her in gasoline and set her on fire ‒ the latest in a series of killings that have revived a debate on whether stronger legal measures are needed to protect women from violence.
State hospital officials said Monday that the woman, who has not been named, died in intensive care, three days after the attack at her home in the northern city of Komotini. Her 62-year-old husband was already in police custody and charges against him were expected to be changed from attempted murder to murder.
At least 17 murders of women at the hands of husbands or partners were recorded in Greece in 2021. They include the killing of 20-year-old British-Greek student Caroline Crouch last year. Her husband, Greek helicopter pilot Babis Anagnostopoulos, told police she had been killed in a home invasion but was later arrested for murder and jailed for life earlier this year.
The body of a 42-year-old Romanian woman was discovered buried in cement in southern Greece a year ago. Her partner was later arrested in the Netherlands on an international warrant. He was found hanged in his prison cell weeks later after being extradited to Greece.
The main left-wing opposition party, Syriza, is supporting a legislative amendment that would make femicide a special crime potentially carrying stricter terms of parole, but the government says no changes are needed to the existing legal framework.
“I accept the term femicide because it defines the way in which these crimes are committed,” center-right Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Sunday.
“But I don’t believe it should receive special legal status. We have a particularly strict legal framework for homicide. I cannot accept that femicide is more heinous than the murder of a child or the murder of an elderly person.”
Mitsotakis said he strongly supported providing additional safeguards to protect women from life-threatening domestic violence, including an expanded network of shelters and additional police training.
Recent changes to Greece’s criminal code include a life sentence mandate for murder, legally described as intentional homicide. ___ Gatopoulos reported from Athens, Greece.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A shooting scare at a central Florida high school was a “cruel prank" carried out by two groups of students who now face criminal charges and possible expulsion, police said.
Rumors, lies and conspiracy theories have been “floating around" on social media since Friday's lockdown at Mainland High School, Daytona Beach police said Sunday in a lengthy Facebook post.
“This entire incident appears to have been a cruel prank by several students that has now gotten out of control due to internet trolls, misinformed people and in some cases, people that are not even in Florida," police said.
Investigators said officials at the school became aware of a threat written on a bathroom stall Thursday. School officials and law enforcement reviewed video and interviewed two students who had entered the bathroom around the time the graffiti was discovered.
The students denied involvement and it was determined that no threat existed, police said.
On Friday, two groups of students in the cafeteria “decided to capitalize on the threat" and “appear to collaborate with each other to create a panic," police said.
They were seen on video “getting into specific positions and locations within the cafeteria, timing their actions" and several female students told an administrator someone had a gun.
At the same time, a male student ran from the building “causing a large crowd to follow him."
Video showed that no one appeared to have a gun at any time, police said.
Detectives have identified students involved in the incident and interviewed most of them. Stories have changed from seeing someone with a gun to “they just heard there was one," the report said.
The agency planned to have an extra presence on campus Monday to “ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Second-degree felony charges for making a false report concerning the use of firearms in a violent manner are pending for those involved, the statement said. Detectives are also recommending that everyone involved be expelled from school.

The government insists it will establish an anti-corruption commission by year’s end, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese holds the line against critics who say a planned fortnight of mourning the Queen’s death will be too disruptive.
Parliament was suspended this week before Mr Albanese departs for London on Thursday for the Queen’s funeral; a public holiday has been declared one week later, for September 22.
As mourning continued, the government announced the time would be made up, including with a special sitting devoted to condolence speeches, but the interruption did not escape criticism and the PM responded forcefully.
“I think there is something to be said for a Prime Minister who follows tradition, who follows protocols and who follows order,” he said.
“We have seen enough breaches of protocol and arrangements and conventions.”
Best-delayed plans?
But critics seized on an apparent downgrading of a pledge to have an integrity commission pass the Parliament this year, to having it introduced by year’s end, as proof Parliament was not in session often enough.
Independent Senator David Pocock said the community expected MPs to work more and noted that the integrity bill, previously planned for this week, still needed to be reviewed in the upper house.
”There is an expectation from the community that this will be done,” he said. “Public consultation needs to start now.”
Senator Pocock said he was concerned about whether the legislation would give whistleblowers enough protection, or if the commission would have enough funding or independence.
“We need to restore the trust in Australian politicians and political institutions.”
A spokesman for the Attorney-General said the government would introduce the bill next week and expected to meet its target but with a qualification not heard on the campaign: “We aim for the bill to be passed this year.”
Other non-negotiables cited by Senator Pocock and other crossbench MPs include ensuring people not on the public payroll, but who seek to corrupt those who do, will be investigated and that independents are represented on a parliamentary oversight committee.
For Mr Albanese, the question of when Parliament will sit is complicated by his own schedule; after arriving home from London he will soon depart, to attend another funeral, for the slain Japanese former PM Shinzo Abe.
He will have to miss a couple of just-announced makeup days.
But he denied that Parliament should have kept sitting, even though the House of Commons will sit through the UK’s mourning period.
Long-standing plans
“They are not arrangements that I have made up,” he said. “They are arrangements that have been in place for a long period of time.
“If the Parliament was sitting this week, to do the counter-factual, 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.”
Those adding to the criticism from the crossbench included the Australian Medical Association, which said a one-off holiday would hinder progress on surgery waiting lists.
Spokesmen for lobbies representing retailers and business also warned of added costs; estimates of lost economic activities from the one-off interruption have been as high as $2 billion.
Mr Albanese restated he would continue to reject calls to hold a referendum on the republic in the government’s first term because the head of state had changed.
He will be progressing constitutional change in the form of his long and often-stated promise to hold a referendum on including Indigenous recognition in the nation’s founding document.

HughesNet Fusion plans combine satellite and wireless technologies for a high-speed, low-latency internet experience
GERMANTOWN, Md, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), an innovator in satellite communications for over 50 years, today announced it started rolling out a new low-latency satellite internet offering to consumers in select U.S. markets. Available as HughesNet® Fusion plans, the multipath offering seamlessly blends Geostationary (GEO) satellite and wireless technologies into a fast and responsive satellite internet experience.
"With HughesNet Fusion plans, we are solving the latency challenge inherent with GEO technology, while maximizing the many advantages of these time-tested satellites, including low cost, reliability, dense capacity and widespread availability," said Pradman Kaul, president of Hughes. "GEO satellites are the workhorses of the connected ecosystem, essential for meeting the demand for connectivity everywhere, particularly in rural areas, whether alone or in combination with other transports such as wireless and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites."
The Hughes multipath technology was previewed for reporters at the SATELLITE conference in March 2022. Today, HughesNet customers in select markets who want a faster, more responsive satellite internet experience can take advantage of the HughesNet Fusion plans.
Kaul continued: "We are rapidly entering an era in which hybrid connectivity—both multi-transport and multi-orbit—will be commonplace. To realize that connected future, at Hughes we are integrating different transports with smart technologies and managed services to create a dynamic, always-on, connected environment that we call the ActiveComms Ecosystem. The HughesNet Fusion plans are an outcome of that approach."
"HughesNet Fusion plans elevate satellite internet as we know it today," said Peter Gulla, senior vice president, Hughes. "The multipath solution represents our continued commitment to meet the changing needs of those who live where other high-speed providers do not reach. The launch of our ultra-high density JUPITER™ 3 satellite next year will bring further service enhancements, including service plans with speeds up to 100 Mbps down."
When using satellites for internet access, signals travel a long distance from device to a satellite in space and back. The time it takes for the signal to travel is known as latency. This delay doesn't impact most online activities but can be noticeable when, for instance, browsing content-rich sites and video conferencing.
Delivering low-latency satellite connectivity with 25 Mbps download speeds and No Hard Data Limits, HughesNet Fusion plans are available today to HughesNet customers in select regions across the country. Hughes aims to roll out the offering in markets across the U.S. later this year.

Air India, the erstwhile Indian state carrier which had been bought by the Tata Group in a $2.4 billion deal earlier this year, announced on Monday that it would look to progressively induct 30 new aircraft from December onwards, over the next 15 months.
With the succesful induction of the 25 narrow-body and five wide-body aircraft, the airline plans to increase its fleet size to 143 by the end of 2023. The airline currently has 70 narrow-body aircraft and 43 wide-bodied planes.
The airline will be leasing 21 Airbus A-320 neos, four A321 neos and five Boeing 777-200LRs, in a bid to expand its fleet and global footprint.
Moving away from its earlier business model, Air India also plans to introduce premium economy seats in the Boeing 777-200LRs, similar to its sister airline Vistara, which is a joint venture of Tatas and Singapore Airlines, wherein Tata Sons holds a 51 percent stake.
The Boeing aircraft will join the fleet between December 2022 and March 2023, and would be deployed on routes connecting Indian metropolitan cities to the U.S., the airline said in a press statement.
The airline will be launching a direct flight connecting Mumbai to San Francisco and will also connect Mumbai to JFK and Newark, while Bengluru would receive a three times weekly service to San Francisco.
The four A321neo aircraft are expected to join the Air India fleet in the first quarter of 2023, while the 21 A320neo planes will be inducted in the second half of 2023.
These new aircraft, together with existing aircraft being returned to service, address an immediate need for more capacity and connectivity, and mark a strong step forward, Campbell Wilson, CEO and managing director of the airline said, adding, “Air India has exciting expansion and renewal plans, of which these new aircraft are just the beginning.”
As part of its plan to expand its fleet, the airline in July announced its decision to allow its pilots fly till the age of 65, while the earlier retirement age for pilots was fixed at 58.

Fenugreek seeds or methi dana, as they are commonly known, are commonly used in most Indian kitchens to add a unique flavour to dishes. But these small seeds also come packed with numerous health benefits. Several studies have pointed out that they help control type-2 diabetes due to their ability to lower blood sugar. A 2015 study, published in the International Journal For Vitamin and Nutrition Research, also found that a daily dose of 10 grams of fenugreek seeds soaked in hot water may help control type-2 diabetes. But what is the best way to consume them?

Dietitian Garima recently took to Instagram to share three simple ways one can consume fenugreek seeds to manage their blood sugar levels. Take a look
View this post on Instagram
Sharing the first and the “easiest” way of consuming fenugreek seeds to manage diabetes, the expert said, “Take a spoon full of these seeds and soak them in water overnight. Next morning, boil and consume this water.” If possible, swallow the seeds, she added. Consuming the seeds this way is beneficial for those with insulin resistance, PCOS, and diabetes.
The second way is to germinate the seeds. “You can add the germinated seeds to your parathas, sandwiches, salads etc,” she added.
You can also consume fenugreek seeds in the powdered form. “Take equal quantities of fenugreek seeds, jamun seeds and bitter gourd seeds. Dry and mix them before blending to make a powder. Consume 1 spoon of this powder every morning on an empty stomach,” she suggested.

TORONTO, ONT – Oprah Winfrey was discussing her profound affection for trailblazing actor Sidney Poitier — a longtime friend and mentor to her — when she was overcome by emotion during an interview on the upcoming documentary “ Sidney,” a life-spanning portrait. She plunged her head into her hands and cried, “I just love him so much.”
Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, Morgan Freeman, George Nelson, Robert Redford and Halle Berry were all interviewed in “Sidney,” and their reflections on the iconic performer and civil-rights activist are often illuminating. But “Sidney" means something intensely personal for Winfrey, a producer on the film.
“I was trying not to lose it, actually, because my love for him is as deep and as strong as for any human being I know," Winfrey said in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival, where “Sidney” premiered Saturday. “He was my adviser, my counselor, my friend, my comfort, my balm, my joy.”
“Sidney,” which Apple TV+ will premiere Sept. 23, arrives eight months after the death of Poitier, the groundbreaking actor who paved the way for countless Black actors in Hollywood and single-handedly revolutionized how they were portrayed on screen. Directed by Reginald Hudlin, “Sidney” was made with the cooperation of Poitier's family. Much of it had been completed before he died in January at the age of 94, including his interview with Winfrey.
But the loss of Poitier — whom Winfrey at the time of his death called “the greatest of the ‘Great Trees’” — has made “Sidney” only more poignant.
“The film is an act of love for me for him,” Winfrey said as tears again welled up. “I don’t know why I’m breaking down. My opportunity to do this was my offering to him.”
Winfrey has said her life was irrevocably altered when she saw Poitier become the first Black performer to win best actor at the Academy Awards (for 1963′s “Lilies in the Field”). A life in show business suddenly became attainable to her. They later met for the first time when Winfrey's talk show was taking off. Poitier was one of the few who could understand what she was going through as a Black entertainer.
“During the early days of navigating fame and all that comes with fame, being assaulted on all sides by Black people, white people, people saying you’re not this or you should be doing that, he was the person I turned to,” said Winfrey. “He said, ‘It’s always a struggle and a challenge when you're carrying other people's dreams.'"
It was the first of many conversations over the years.
“Remember ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’? I could have done ‘Sundays with Sidney,'” says Winfrey. “He was my person. He was my guy. He was my friend and my brother.”
Hudlin, the director of “House Party” and the Thurgood Marshall drama “Marshall," estimates he had completed about 90% of the interviews on the film when Poitier died.
“Whatever pressure I was putting on myself basically doubled,” Hudlin said. “There was a disappointment to know that he would never see it, but I was glad at a time when everyone wanted to touch him and connect with him, we would have this movie.”
Interviews with Poitier were conducted earlier, separate of the film, before the star’s health deteriorated. But the footage of Poitier speaking directly to camera, and hearing that voice narrate his life story, makes for one last chance to be in his regal presence. Poitier, born in the Bahamas, talks about how his young identity was forged without racism’s influence. It wasn’t until he left for Miami at 15 that he encountered it.
“I left the Bahamas with this sense of myself,” Poitier says in the film. “And from the time I got off the boat, America began to say to me, ‘You’re not who you think you are.’"
“Sidney,” which draws on Poitier’s memoir, “The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography,” touches on some of his seminal films, including “The Defiant Ones” (1958), “A Raisin in the Sun (1961), ”In the Heat of the Night” (1967) and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” It also delves into how he connected to Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights movement with Hollywood; his friendship with Harry Belafonte; and his move into directing with “Buck and Preacher” (1972). Above all, it captures how racism, or anything else, was never a match for Poitier’s unshakable integrity.
“For me, personally, I look and go: How did he do it, with no role model?” marveled Hudlin. “He’s looking at a wooded forest and he just carves a path, always making the right choice. How did he always know the right thing to do without a road map? To single-handedly take on decades of racist imagery in cinema, right from its inception, and shatter all of that misbegotten imagery with the truth of who he was.”

Phase 1b Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Study Initiated
RGLS8429 in healthy volunteers was well-tolerated with dose-proportional PK
Topline data from first cohort of patients with ADPKD anticipated in 1H 2023
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: RGLS), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs (the "Company" or "Regulus"), today announced positive topline safety and PK data from its Phase 1 SAD clinical trial of RGLS8429. Additionally, the Company announced the initiation of its Phase 1b MAD clinical trial of RGLS8429.
Summary of Results from Phase 1 SAD Study
The Phase 1 SAD study demonstrated that RGLS8429 has a favorable safety and PK profile. RGLS8429 was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported. Among the 32 subjects treated with RGLS8429 or placebo, there were nine adverse events all of which were mild, except one (sinus infection) which was graded moderate in severity. Preliminary results suggest plasma exposure is dose proportional across the four doses tested and compare favorably to the PK data from the first-generation compound, RGLS4326.
Phase 1b MAD Study Initiated
The phase 1b MAD study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with ADPKD. The primary objectives of the MAD study are to assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of RGLS8429 and to evaluate the efficacy of RGLS8429 treatment across three different dose levels, including changes in polycystins, cystic kidney volume (htTKV), and overall kidney function. The first planned dose level to be tested in patients with ADPKD is 1 mg/kg dosed every other week for three months. Topline data from the first cohort of patients is expected in 1H 2023.
More information about the MAD clinical trial is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05521191).
"The safety and PK data generated in our Phase 1 SAD trial are highly encouraging and allow us the flexibility to use a range of dose levels as we explore the safety and efficacy of RGLS8429 in the Phase 1b MAD study," said Jay Hagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regulus Therapeutics. "We are excited about the initiation of the MAD study, and we look forward to presenting top line data from the first cohort of patients in the first half of 2023."
About ADPKD
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, is among the most common human monogenic disorders and a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. The disease is characterized by the development of multiple fluid filled cysts primarily in the kidneys, and to a lesser extent in the liver and other organs. Excessive kidney cyst cell proliferation, a central pathological feature, ultimately leads to end-stage renal disease in approximately 50% of ADPKD patients by age 60. Approximately 160,000 individuals are diagnosed with the disease in the United States alone, with an estimated global prevalence of 4 to 7 million.
About RGLS8429
RGLS8429 is a novel, next generation oligonucleotide for the treatment of ADPKD designed to inhibit miR-17 and to preferentially target the kidney. Administration of RGLS8429 has shown robust data in preclinical models, where clear improvements in kidney function, size, and other measures of disease severity have been demonstrated along with a superior pharmacologic profile in preclinical studies compared to Regulus' first-generation compound.
About Regulus
Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: RGLS) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs. Regulus has leveraged its oligonucleotide drug discovery and development expertise to develop a pipeline complemented by a rich intellectual property estate in the microRNA field.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh’s prime minister said Monday that the prolonged stay of more than 1 million Rohingya refugees in crowded camps in the country has become a serious security and stability concern.
“Apart from their own miseries, their prolonged presence is causing a serious impact on the economy, environment, security and sociopolitical stability of Bangladesh,” Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said at the opening ceremony of a three-day meeting of military officials from 24 countries in the Indo-Pacific region.
The United States is the co-host of the gathering, called the Indo-Pacific Armies Management Seminar, along with the Bangladesh army.
While the militaries of the participating countries are discussing disaster management, transnational crime, security issues and women's empowerment, Bangladesh is using the platform to highlight the issue of Rohingya refugees who have fled from violence in Myanmar.
Participants in the meeting, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, India, China and Vietnam, will visit the sprawling Rohingya refugee camps to see their plight firsthand, said Gen. S.M. Shafiuddin Ahmed, chief of Bangladesh army.
Ahmed said the military leaders are being taken to the camps in Cox’s Bazar district to give them “a clear perception” of the gravity of the refugee crisis and why their repatriation to Myanmar is necessary.
Last month, the refugees marked the fifth anniversary of a mass exodus of more than 700,000 Rohingya into Bangladesh who were fleeing a harsh crackdown by Myanmar’s military. In total, Bangladesh is hosting more than 1 million Rohingya refugees.
Hasina has said that repatriation is the only solution to the crisis, but that Bangladesh would not force them to go back to Myanmar.
Bangladeshi officials have expressed frustration after at least two attempts to repatriate the refugees failed under a bilateral agreement brokered by China. The Muslim Rohingya have said that conditions remain too dangerous in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, where they face extensive discrimination.
Charles A. Flynn, commanding general of the U.S. Army Pacific, told reporters that he could not reply to policy questions such as how militaries can help repatriate the Rohingya to Myanmar, but thanked Bangladesh for arranging the trip for the delegation to the refugee camps.
“What I will say is this. I am thankful that the chief of the Bangladesh army has found a way in the program to bring us to Cox’s Bazar and to see the magnitude of the humanitarian assistance that Bangladesh has provided for five years to that situation,” he said.
The Rohingya crisis has gone to international courts, where Myanmar has denied any wrongdoing.
Last month, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. remains “committed to advancing justice and accountability” for Rohingya and all people of Myanmar.

New tool will help organizations engage with health workers in need of support following a traumatic event
CHICAGO, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RLDatix, the leading global provider of healthcare operations technology and services that drive safer care, announced today the launch of RLDatix Peer Support, a new application to help healthcare organizations provide timely emotional first aid to members of their care team - both clinical and non-clinical - in need of support. Fully RLDatix Catalix ready, Peer Support will help combat burnout by identifying, early on, health workers who need support after experiencing a specific traumatic event or who are struggling with cumulative trauma related to work and non work-related stressors.
According to the National Academy of Medicine, burnout reached crisis levels among the US health workforce even before COVID-19, with 35-54% of nurses and physicians reporting symptoms. The National Institutes of Health states that burnout not only affects health worker wellbeing but could also impact the quality of care delivered. The effects of burnout are only further compounded by historically low staffing levels, with the American Hospital Association projecting the overall shortage of nurses to reach 1.1 million by the end of the year. By identifying distressed caregivers sooner, RLDatix Peer Support will help reduce burnout related costs - which the American Medical Association estimates to be nearly $5 billion annually - while also helping to mitigate its human toll.
"When a traumatic healthcare event occurs, it is not only the patient and family that are impacted, but the caregiver as well," said Jeff Surges, CEO, RLDatix. "Health worker wellbeing is critical to providing safer care, and RLDatix Peer Support will empower caregivers to speak up when they or their colleagues need help."
"Patient safety is reliant on the psychological safety of our caregivers," said Aimee Samuels, Patient Safety Officer, Samaritan Health Services. "Without a comprehensive and systematic approach to peer support after medical harm, our employees are left to suffer alone in shame and fear. A visible and accessible platform to proactively connect peers – without barriers – affirms our commitment to the psychological wellbeing of our caregivers and creates an environment where we are safer together."
"Healthcare organizations have an obligation to ensure the safest possible environment for their staff,"
said Tim McDonald, Chief Patient Safety and Risk Officer, RLDatix. "That is why it is crucial to have a system in place that prioritizes outreach and provides a solution to help address issues around confidentiality, stigma, and access. RLDatix Peer Support will help organizations ensure that no clinical or non-clinical member of their team falls through the cracks and that they feel supported in their time of need."
Coupled with RLDatix's consulting, services and training offerings, healthcare organizations now have another vital tool when it comes to combatting burnout. For more information on RLDatix Peer Support, visit www.rldatix.com.
RLDatix is on a mission to change healthcare. We help organizations become safer by providing governance, risk, compliance (GRC) and workforce management technology that drives overall improvement and better outcomes. Our solutions help customers to proactively identify risk, enhance operational efficiency and compliance, and manage their people in the fairest and most effective way to meet care demand. With more than 6,000 customers in over 20 countries, RLDatix is making healthcare safer for patients and workforces around the world. RLDatix is controlled by Five Arrows, TA Associates and Nordic Capital as major shareholders. For more information, visit www.rldatix.com.

People wanting to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II as she lies in state at the Houses of Parliament in London need to be prepared for a long wait.
The government has published guidelines for people wishing to file past the late queen's closed coffin as it lies in state at the Palace of Westminster from 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) Wednesday until 6:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) on Sept. 19. Thousands are expected to want to pay tribute to the only monarch that many in the United Kingdom have ever known.
The rules were made public a day after thousands of people lined roads and bridges Sunday as a hearse carried the queen's coffin across the Scottish countryside from her beloved Balmoral Castle to Edinburgh.
“If you wish to attend the Lying-in-State, please note that there will be a queue, which is expected to be very long. You will need to stand for many hours, possibly overnight, with very little opportunity to sit down as the queue will be continuously moving,” the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said in its guidelines.
The closed coffin of the monarch who died Thursday at 96 will rest on a raised platform called a catafalque in Westminster Hall at the Houses of Parliament.
“Large crowds are expected, and there are likely to be delays on public transport and road closures around the area,” the ministry warned.
Visitors will have to pass through airport-style security and can only bring one small bag with one zipper opening. Larger bags can be stowed at a special facility — but only if there is space available.
The ministry advises people to bring essentials for a potentially long wait exposed to whatever elements an early fall day in London can throw at them — an umbrella or sunscreen, a cell phone power bank and any needed medication.
No food or liquids will be allowed past security screening at the Houses of Parliament. Nor will flowers or other tributes such as candles, toys or photographs.
“Please respect the dignity of this event and behave appropriately. You should remain silent while inside the Palace of Westminster,” the advice says, adding that people must dress appropriately and turn off their mobile phones before going through security.
Included in a list of things not to do: “Film, photograph, use mobile phones or other handheld devices in the security search area or within the Palace of Westminster. Bring or erect gazebos or tents. Light barbecues and fires.”
And a long list of prohibited items includes fireworks, smoke canisters, flares, whistles, laser devices and other items that could be used to cause a disturbance as well as any banners, placards, flags, advertising or marketing messages.

Seventy-eight-year-old Angelita Perez is a working senior who truly cares about the men and women of her generation as they walk through the sunset of their lives. She owns and still opts to be an active caregiver at Hillcrest Care, a small assisted living facility she founded in 2014 in El Dorado Hills, Calif.
What looks like a middle-class residence perched on the elevated suburban outskirts of El Dorado — which lies 30 miles to the east of California's capital of Sacramento — is actually a haven for six male seniors, five aged 85-97 and a 52-year-old Navy veteran under hospice care. With most assisted living facilities and nursing homes tending to at least 20 wards, Hillcrest Care is a much smaller operation.
But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in better care and homelier ambience — Perez says that, in such an intimate setting, seniors' needs are more easily monitored and served. Helping frail seniors perform even the most basic chores may be easier said than done, but Perez — who goes by "Lita" to friends and family and "Angel" to a grateful patient's family — mastered the work with a natural ease.
What has endeared her to her patients and their families is the commitment and familial warmth that comes into play in every aspect of caregiving for residents who are mostly in their late 80s and 90s.
"I make sure they feel so fresh and in fine spirits throughout the day," she stressed, "from the moment they wake up till bedtime."
She and her staff perform the work generously — with a human touch that lifts their patients' sense of self-worth — a gentle circling pat on the back, a loving swipe on the cheek, reassuring pressure on the palm and even a soft kiss on the forehead makes the seniors feel as though they never left home.
Everyone is freshened up and garbed in comfy casual wear before taking meals, oftentimes as a group, giving them a chance to engage in a little lively banter every day. Occasionally served are Asian dishes that always excite senior palates numbed by continental tastes.
An important rule of the house is to never engage in a verbal joust with the patients, some of whom are experiencing dementia or sheer memory regression. Perez underscores the importance of keeping the mood on the sunny side, even to the point of flattery. She finds the trick to dealing with patients' mental and emotional swings and quirks essential to enhancing their overall well-being.
She proudly recounts an incident in which a patient was rushed to the hospital in need of urgent care and, feeling overlooked while under observation, loudly complained, "Get me back (to the care home); I'm treated like a king there!"
In the two assisted living facilities she's started since 2012, Perez has attended to dozens of seniors. More than a few times after a resident's death, bereaved family have conveyed to Perez their gratitude for her help in ensuring their loved one could spend their twilight years in grace and dignity.
Perez is well-cut for the calling. Arriving in California in 1987 as a Filipino immigrant with only a high school diploma, she found a job in housekeeping at a hospital in Alameda. While doing her chores, she observed patient care, too, sometimes extending an extra hand when it was needed.
Eventually, she felt like she could offer more for others than making their beds and doing their laundry, so she negotiated with her supervisor to have time to take a course to become a Certified Nursing Aide. Her supervisor responded with a firm work-or-study option. A future supervisor, fortunately, was more sympathetic to her plan for a career change.
After earning her CNA certification, she worked in that capacity for the hospital for the next 19 years, experiencing the many varied aspects of patient care.
By 2012, she'd saved up enough to go out on her own, setting up an assisted living facility in Folsom, some 10 miles east of El Dorado, where Hillcrest Care started business two years later.
She opted to move to El Dorado but eventually shuttered the Folsom location.
Perez's concern for those under her charge is emblematic of a serious challenge facing America's health care industry: caring for the country's rapidly aging population.
Health-care statisticians forecast the United States' Baby Boomerswill have 75 million seniors in the next 20 years. There are currently 40 million Americans aged over 65, including 5.6 million aged over 85; the nation's population of those at least 85 years old is expected to double by 2036.
Currently, only 3% of seniors occupy some 78,000 units between the assisted living facilities and nursing homes in the U.S. An estimated one million units will be needed by 2040. California, where Perez is located, is home to some 5,600 units but is expected to need 127,000 in the next 20 years.
Beyond the physical structures, an equally urgent challenge is the number of trained caregivers, whose ranks were decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
All of that raises two pertinent questions: How many like Angelita Perez will the country's nursing educational institutions be able to train to meet the massive need for senior care in the coming years? And will the U.S. reopen its doors to Philippine-trained nurses?
There are anecdotal tales in hospitals worldwide of Filipina nurses being the preferred "marines" assigned to dispense convalescent care in wards for seniors, as well as those with special needs, primarily due to their extraordinary patience and natural social skills to relate with such patients, even under strenuous conditions. As with Perez's life experience, Filipina nurses' outlooks are often shaped by a culture that reveres its elders and an ability to survive with minimal resources.
Such traits, Perez believes, make her stand out as in the field of gerontological care. And at her age, she could be a patient herself, but she's defying expectations — petite and barely under five feet in height, she may look fragile; however, she is agile and sturdy for a woman of her age; she could assist bulkier patients doing strenuous maneuvers all by herself.
Where does that strength emanate?
Perez has the genes of a long life. Her father passed away at 93, far higher than the average Filipino's life expectancy, and her paternal grandfather lived to 104. At 93, her eldest sister in Virginia still regularly mows the lawn and drives long distances without any reliever; an aunt with fairly good cognitive functions just marked her 101st birthday.
Perez and her nine brothers and sisters were also raised in the rural Philippines, where they were steeped in the virtue of contentment.
"We grew up together happy with whatever we had, never craving for the extra stuff our peers were enjoying," she reflected after recalling the times when she and her four sisters would sleep together under a mosquito net on their home's bamboo floor in the living area while her brothers did likewise in a space in the kitchen.
Her father was a carpenter who was only able to get by after finishing an ordered furniture crafted to customized design. Her mother performed a full-time role attending to her family and home. And in observance of a cherished Filipino tradition, the entire family would gather at the end of every day in front of their waiting father and mother to do the "mano" — young Filipinos' gesture of holding their elders' hand and pressing it gently on their forehead. The duty was done without fail every day when the church bells tolled at dusk.
Perez believes that sort of childhood may have fortified her with the kind of physical and mental constitution needed to take on the rigors and routines of caregiving where younger care staff could easily give up.
Asked how long she'll be able to do the arduous tasks that come with the work, she snapped, "As long as I can!"

The Queen’s funeral is a state funeral and will be on Monday September 19.
– What is a state funeral?
A state funeral is a rare honour and is mostly reserved for the sovereign.
The only monarch not to be given a state funeral in the last 295 years was Edward VIII, who abdicated.
State funerals have, on rare occasions, been held for distinguished figures including Sir Isaac Newton, Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and wartime prime minister Sir Winston Churchill.
The last state funeral in the UK was Churchill’s in 1965.
The last state funeral for a sovereign was for the Queen’s father, George VI, in 1952.
– Who pays?
State funerals are publicly funded and are the responsibility of the Earl Marshal and the College of Arms.
These large-scale events observe strict rules of protocol, held to honour people of national significance.
– What is a ceremonial funeral?
Ceremonial royal funerals are held for members of the royal family who hold high military rank, for the consort of the sovereign and the heir to the throne.
The Duke of Edinburgh was given a ceremonial royal funeral in 2021, as was the Queen Mother in 2002 and Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.
Baroness Thatcher’s funeral in April 2013 was a ceremonial funeral with full military honours.
To the outsider, there is little difference between a state funeral and a ceremonial one – both can include lying in state and a military procession.
But a state funeral may require a motion in Parliament for a non-sovereign, and the gun carriage bearing the coffin is pulled by Royal Navy ratings – sailors – using ropes, rather than horses.
– Do the royals have private funerals?
Yes. These types of funerals are usually undertaken for all other members of the royal family, their children and spouses.
The Duke of Windsor, who abdicated as Edward VIII, was given a private royal funeral in 1972, although the Garter King of Arms proclaimed words during the service usually reserved for a state funeral and declared him “sometime the most high, most mighty and most excellent monarch Edward VIII”.
He was the only sovereign not to have a royal state funeral since 1727, when George I died and was buried abroad.

DALLAS, Texas, Sept 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurolens, a company commercializing innovative solutions to optimize vision, today announced completion of a $67 million financing. The financing was led by MVM Partners, with additional participation from Falcon Vision/KKR, Marshall Wace, and existing investors including Bluestem Capital.
The investment will fuel continued product innovation and growth initiatives, further accelerating the adoption of Neurolens.
"While we have grown tenfold in the past three years, the unmet patient need remains massive," said Pierre Bertrand, Neurolens CEO. "Nearly 6 out of 10 Americans are reporting daily symptoms of Digital Vision Syndrome, and we are excited to continue bringing solutions to independent optometry to meet their needs. We are grateful to see both current and new investors embrace our mission to transform eyecare beyond visual acuity."
Dr. Eric Bednarski, Partner at MVM, commented "Neurolens offers a remarkable solution to address the widespread problems that patients experience due to DVS. We are pleased to partner with Neurolens to support its continued growth." Dr. Akhilesh Pathipati, Partner at MVM, added "The team at Neurolens has shown tremendous leadership and dedication while innovating in a market poised for growth. We are thrilled to work with them to continue changing the lives of patients." Drs. Bednarski and Pathipati joined the Neurolens Board of Directors as a part of this financing.
The investment follows two recent announcements signaling the unprecedented acceleration of Neurolens within the vision industry. In late August, Inc. revealed that Neurolens had been recognized as the 28th fastest growing healthcare company on its annual Inc. 5000 list, a prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Earlier in August, Neurolens released the results of a parallel arm study evaluating reading speed at baseline. The study revealed that after seven days of lens wear, the average improvement in reading speed with Neurolenses was almost 70% higher than the improvement seen with other premium lens designs.

In its first TV ad launching Monday, the coalition against the proposed 4% surtax on income exceeding $1 million banks on small business owners, teachers, a lobsterman and a cranberry farmer to drive home the message that now isn’t the time to raise taxes.
“Politicians are pushing a tax hike on the November ballot,” Leo Cakounes, a Harwich cranberry grower, tells viewers. “That makes no sense.”
Paid for by the Coalition to Stop the Tax Hike Amendment, the ad is part of a multi-million dollar campaign targeting Ballot Question 1 — which asks whether voters to approve a change to the constitution to bump the 5% income tax rate to 9% on all earnings over $1 million. The 30-second spot, which comes a few weeks after proponents of the so-called “millionaires tax” launched their first ad, makes the case that the tax would undercut the middle class: hitting homeowners, farmers or restaurant owners making one-time sales.
The ad also features Richard Schmalensee, retired professor emeritus of economics at MIT, arguing the proposal comes as “our state already has the biggest budget surplus in history.”

Freshpet donating $150,000 to winning animal shelters; campaign now open for public nominations
SECAUCUS, N.J., Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Freshpet (FRPT) is partnering with actress and animal rescue advocate Sarah Michelle Gellar to celebrate its fifth annual Fresh Start initiative. The program, which celebrates and rewards no-kill animal shelters, is open to the public through a submission process beginning today and running for two weeks. The Fresh Start program has distributed more than $400k to no-kill shelters across the country since it began in 2018.
Gellar, whose family has one rescue and two other dogs, will serve as a judge, helping select 16 shelters from across the country to receive funding, including one overall winner receiving $25,000, and five grand prize regional winners who will each receive $15,000. Other grants will be awarded, including 10 runners-up, two in each region, receiving $5,000 each. Submissions are open to the public Sept. 12-25 via ThankYouRescues.com. Following the submission period, winners will be announced the week of Oct. 17.
"We treat our pets like they're our kids; they're such a big part of our family," said Gellar. "We've always been big supporters of animal adoption, because there are so many deserving animals that need good homes. And right now, the need is stronger than ever, with many shelters overcrowded and in need of support," she added. "There are so many rescues doing incredible work across the country, so partnering with Freshpet to recognize and reward them is something I couldn't pass up."
According to Best Friends Animal Society1, of the approximately 4,000 animal shelters in the U.S., only 52% are no-kill shelters, many of which operate with volunteer staff and via donations. Dollars donated through Fresh Start assist shelters with a variety of needs, from healthcare for animals and adoption support to operating cost and equipment. All funding awarded from Freshpet can be utilized at the shelters' discretion.
"Fresh Start allows us to continue to unleash the power of giving to pets and people working to make their lives better," said Steve Elwell, Director of Digital at Freshpet. "There's an amazing network of animal shelters and organizations throughout the country that are championing the wellbeing of companion pets that can use our help, whether through volunteering or donations, and we're happy that we can extend the Fresh Start initiative to help reward them for their work."
Joining Gellar to judge this year's program are pet influencer Tatum Talks (hi.this.is.tatum), Freshpet's expert veterinarian Dr. Aziza Glass, as well as shelter partners, St. Hubert's and Pennsylvania SPCA. Freshpet has helped more than 160 animal shelters throughout the country as part of its work with no-kill shelters and anti-cruelty programs. Its advocacy efforts also include donations of more than 14 million meals.
