Mystery of Steve Irwin’s Death Tape Reportedly Solved After Manager’s Claim
BLIMEY
The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of Steve Irwin’s “death tape” has been answered after questions re-emerged on the anniversary of his passing earlier this month. Irwin died after he was stung by a stingray while filming the series Ocean’s Deadliest off the Great Barrier Reef in 2006. The incident was captured on camera and purportedly shows the moment the ray mistakes Irwin for a predatory shark and punctures him through his heart. Irwin is believed to pull the stingray’s barb from his chest, but shortly afterward he loses consciousness and dies over Batt Reef, off the coast of Port Douglas. At the time of his death there was much speculation over whether the footage would air because Irwin “tells his camera crew to always be filming,” Tommy Donovan, Irwin’s biographer, said at the time. But it turns out the footage will never see the light of day, according to Irwin’s manager, John Stainton, who told the Daily Mail Australia that the only footage of the incident was destroyed after it was reviewed by police. “I remember seeing it in the police rooms in Cairns,” Stainton said. “It was something that none of the family—nobody—wanted to see. It was not pleasant.” Despite rumors there are multiple versions of the tape, Stainton insisted “everything was destroyed... There was only one copy, the original tape—no other copies were made.”

Woman killed in four-car wreck identified by Pueblo County coroner
A woman killed in a four-car collision at the intersection of Lehigh Avenue and Pueblo Boulevard on Saturday was identified Monday by Pueblo County Coroner Brian Cotter.
The victim was 23-year-old Puebloan Makayla Ellen Gallegos, who was a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the wreck, Cotter announced on Twitter.
Following the wreck, which is still being investigated by police, Gallegos was transported to a local hospital where she died of her injuries.
The intersection where the crash occurred was closed for several hours Saturday morning while police processed the scene. Police announced on Twitter around 1:30 p.m. that day that the intersection had reopened.
Pueblo PD spokesperson Sgt. Franklyn Ortega told the Chieftain on Monday that police are continuing to investigate the cause of the wreck. He said that of the four vehicles involved, two were heavily damaged and two others received just minor damage.
Pueblo police say speed, alcohol and drugs are “all possible factors” being investigated in the collision.
Chieftain editor Zach Hillstrom can be reached at zhillstrom@gannett.com or on Twitter @ZachHillstrom

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Neighbors who live in the Colonial Place-Riverview neighborhood in Norfolk have been talking about a sewage problem in Knitting Mill Creek that runs alongside the neighborhood and flows into the Lafayette River.
As 10 On Your Side first reported last week, a Norfolk city inspector claimed raw sewage was coming from a nearby restaurant situated along the shore of the creek.
Members of the Colonial Place-Riverview Civic League were scheduled to meet with city and state officials about pollution in the creek Monday night.
From Chopper 10, you see the potential environmental impact Mack’s Barge Restaurant could have on the creek, but the owner says he never discharged any raw sewage into the creek as stated by the city inspector claiming “direct discharge to the river.”
“We never had sewage or waste going into the water,” says Mack’s Barge owner Geoff Fout,
“First of all, it is a manufactured bold-faced lie and that person [the city inspector] needs to be held accountable.”
Late Monday afternoon, Fout emailed 10 On Your Side the following summary of Mack’s barge Pumping System.
The City of Norfolk informed 10 on Your Side a follow-up inspection revealed no additional discharge and there are no further action items against the restaurant pending with the city.
Late Monday afternoon, Norfolk City spokesperson Chris Jones issued the following statement:
“From the city’s perspective, a follow-up inspection on Sept. 2 revealed no additional discharge was occurring and there are no further action items pending with the city. However, I cannot speak to the business’s status as determined by the Department of Environmental Quality nor the Virginia Department of Health. “
Jones also gave this link to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality which has not returned our calls for comment, Knitting Mill Creek Sewage Discharge | Virginia DEQ
“My biggest hope is Monday’s meeting will alleviate some of the concerns our residents have,” said Laura Burns, President of the Colonial Place-Riverview Civic League. “The city and DEQ and Wildlife Resources can tell us what they are doing to remedy the situation and hold anyone who should be accountable held accountable.”
Burns says the concerns about the Creek water quality began when a beloved white goose named ‘Rufus’ ended up dead,
“It was a turning point where people realized if something was happening to him [Rufus], something was going on…people took notice.”
Burns and her neighbors are concerned about the water quality from all sources of possible pollution,
“A question I have and others have, as well, is anything going to be done to clean the creek? Is anything going to be done to remedy that?”
They also want to know how the city and state hold people accountable for violations.
“I run along here. I see my friends, and I see my friends and their dogs, and kids out here every day. It’s a magical place to kayak,” Burns said.
The neighbors care about accountability because they are passionate about the creek and the Lafayette River,
“This is a special place to be. We want to take care of it. We want everyone who gets to be around the creek to take care of it, and to enjoy it too.”

Three English Premier League games scheduled for this weekend were called off on Monday on safety grounds while authorities make preparations for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
Manchester United’s home game against Leeds and Liverpool’s match at Chelsea, both set to take place on Sunday, were postponed. Brighton’s home game against Crystal Palace will remain postponed, having initially been called off because of a rail strike that will now not happen.
It reduces the next round of the league to a seven-game program. All 10 games in the most recent round — from Saturday to Monday — were postponed as a mark of respect following the death of the queen on Thursday.
Otherwise, soccer was resuming in Britain from Monday after a nationwide pause from Friday to Sunday — from the professional game down to the grassroots. The Premier League game between Leeds and Nottingham Forest, scheduled for Monday night to finish off the eighth round, remained off.
The English Football League — which runs the three divisions below the Premier League — said tributes will be paid to the queen at grounds across the country when games in the second-division Championship as well as League One and League Two resume from Tuesday.
A minute’s silence will be held before matches, with black armbands to be worn by players, flags to be flown at half-staff and the national anthem — “God Save the King” — to be played in stadiums.
The Premier League is still not back up to full swing, though, as authorities weigh up the logistical issues of staging a state funeral that will be attended by heads of state and royalty from around the world next Monday, and the policing of high-profile soccer matches in the preceding days.
“Following extensive consultation with clubs, police, local safety advisory groups and other relevant authorities, there was no other option but to postpone the three fixtures,” the Premier League said.
The league said the postponements were made “due to events surrounding the queen’s funeral.”
The monarch’s coffin will be flown on Tuesday to London, where it will lie in state at the Houses of Parliament from Wednesday until the morning of her funeral. The buildup to the funeral requires a vast police and security operation, with forces pulled from cities outside London.
“With a national policing plan now in operation,” the EFL said, “the league and clubs will continue to work with forces in respect of any challenges that may emerge regarding policing of specific fixtures.”
The EFL said it will work on a “case-by-case basis.”
Some Premier League teams will back in action in European competition from Tuesday to Thursday — Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham in the Champions League, plus Manchester United in the Europa League and West Ham in the Europa Conference League — ahead of the partial resumption of the top division.
Arsenal’s Europa League home game against PSV Eindhoven in London on Thursday was postponed by UEFA because of what the governing body said was the “severe limitations on police resources and organizational issues.”
UEFA and Arsenal face challenges in rescheduling the game amid the congestion caused by the World Cup in November and December in Qatar. Arsenal has no clear midweek dates before the Europa League groups are scheduled to finish on Nov. 3, with the round of 16 draw scheduled for Nov. 7.
It’s a similar case for Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Leeds, Brighton and Palace, who have two league games to rearrange. They will likely be played in the new year.
In Scotland, the Champions League game between Rangers and Napoli in Glasgow had already been pushed back one day to Wednesday because of policing issues.

Spearfish sees an uptick in illegal garbage dumping
Officials warn that’s criminal theft of services
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Spearfish’s public safety department has received an uptick in complaints about illegal garbage dumping.
This means people are throwing their trash away in private, commercial, or residential dumpsters that are not intended for public use.
Officials say they’ve seen an increase in city trash cans and construction site roll-away dumpsters being used without permission and that partaking in this illegal activity amounts to theft.
”We have an issue with as much development that we have going on anyway, with refuse blowing from those construction sites anyway. When those dumpsters get overfilled, then installation and other pieces of debris end up blowing out of those dumpsters. One of the complaints of the contractor is ‘half of the things in my dumpster aren’t even mine,’” said Pat Rotert the Public Safety Director for Spearfish.
Rotert said you need to use your own receptacles and if you’re caught illegal trash dumping, you’ll be charged with criminal theft of services.

Historic Stockton building hopes to revitalize downtown area
STOCKTON (CBS13) – A revitalized building hopes to transform downtown Stockton.
In its heyday, Courthouse Plaza was known as the Smith and Lang Department Store. The site saw businesses come and go before sitting empty for years.
For Tony Yadon, 306 East Main Street began as a 'What if…' moment.
"I knew that we had to do something," Yadon said.
He is the executive director of Parents by Choice, founded in 2006. It is a foster care nonprofit working with families and youth, including those aging out of the system.
Its former office became cramped just ahead of a lease renewal. Two years ago, it settled on Courthouse Plaza.
"I mean, it was completely empty," Yadon said. "It was sad and dark."
Fast-forward, the building is a mix of office spaces, retail and cafés.
The coffee shop Plaza Perks is Yadon's personal favorite.
"The whole purpose of the coffee shop is to provide employment for youth, especially youth in foster care," he said.
Regulars love it.
"I come here because of the staff," said Mary Lou Diarenco, a customer. "They are accommodating to your needs."
The organization runs a gift shop where youth also work to gain life and occupational skills before transitioning into adulthood.
Amanda Huer is expanding her family antique business to the plaza. She is a big believer in second chances.
"We're very passionate about helping where we can," said the owner of Secondhand Rose, based out of Lodi.
The store will donate some of its proceeds to Parents by Choice while also employing kids.
Yadon said he never imagined having 100 percent occupancy in year two of owning the building after he purchased it.
For his five-year goal, he wants to open a sit-down restaurant featuring Americana food.
"You get people who encourage you and you get people who say, 'How are you going to pull that off?'"
He said he knew the building would benefit the nonprofit and its youth, but he was not prepared for the outpour of encouragement and support coming from the community.
A historic piece of Stockton could be the key to building the city's future.
Parents by choice says it found the building on Craigslist and paid almost $2 million for it.

According to Los Angles police Capt. Kelly Muniz, the shooting took place at 1 p.m. at the Roscoe’s location on Main Street and Manchester Avenue.
Capt. Muniz said a suspect brandished a firearm inside the restaurant and demanded items from the PnB Rock prior to the shooting.

Prayers up for PnB Rock.
The rapper was shot while with his girlfriend at a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles restaurant in Inglewood.
Circulating video of the aftermath shows PnB Rock on the ground, bleeding and wounded — his condition at this time is unknown.
The shooting went down Monday afternoon. Law enforcement sources say they got a call to the Inglewood Roscoe’s location at 1:23 in the afternoon for a call of a shooting victim.
There isn’t information on the shooter available, but prior to the shooting PnB’s girlfriend Steph shared via social media that the two were out dining. The post has since been deleted.
According to a restaurant source, the shooter targeted PnB only because no one else was shot or injured. The source adds that the shooter took jewelry from PnB and fled.

New king visits a tense and changing Northern Ireland
Issued on: Modified:
Belfast (AFP) – As he tours the four corners of his fractious new kingdom, Charles III faces the most testing task of reconciliation in Northern Ireland.
Scotland, which Charles visited on Monday, may be angling for a new referendum on independence but armed resistance there to the Crown waned centuries ago.
Northern Ireland only achieved peace in 1998 -- and it remains fragile.
The devotion of Northern Ireland's unionists to Queen Elizabeth II bordered on the reverential, integrated with their wider sense of belonging to the United Kingdom, which they feel is under threat as never before.
On Belfast's staunchly unionist Shankill Road, a mural tribute for Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June has drawn a steady stream of mourners and flowers.
Shankill resident Marina Reid, 54, cited reports that have sparked deep anger among unionists, of a few nationalists letting off celebratory fireworks and singing songs since the queen's death last week.
#photo1"That tells you everything about the respect we're getting from them in our time of grief," she told AFP.
Northern Irish police are investigating but the reports do not reflect the response of the broader community of pro-Irish nationalists.
'Courageous'
"I recognise that she was a courageous and gracious leader," Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O'Neill, who is in line to become Northern Ireland's first minister, said Monday at a special session of the regional assembly in Stormont.
She hailed "the significant contribution Queen Elizabeth made to the advancement of peace and reconciliation between the different traditions on our island, and between Ireland and Britain during the years of the peace process".
When he meets the region's feuding political leaders on Tuesday at the royal estate of Hillsborough Castle, south of Belfast, Charles will receive tributes from pro-UK parties and the respectful sympathies of nationalists who nevertheless can see reunification with Ireland drawing closer.
Charles will then head on to an Anglican religious service in Belfast, set to be attended by all faiths, including Protestants and Catholics.
The president, prime minister and foreign minister of Ireland also plan to participate.
For the first time in its 101-year history, the population of a region expressly carved out as a Protestant fiefdom is passing to a Catholic majority, upcoming census data is expected to show.
#photo2Elections held in May were won by Sinn Fein, formerly the political wing of the paramilitary Irish Republican Army (IRA), which in 1979 assassinated Louis Mountbatten, the uncle of the queen's late husband, Prince Philip.
'Unsettled'
But the Stormont government remains suspended, with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) bitterly opposed to post-Brexit trading rules between Brussels and London -- which Prime Minister Liz Truss's new government is threatening to rip up failing concessions from the European Union.
Sinn Fein refuses to recognise the authority of the British monarchy in Northern Ireland, and does not take up its seats in the UK parliament in London.
O'Neill boycotted Sunday's ceremonial proclamation of Charles III as king at Hillsborough.
But Sinn Fein says it will meet the king along with the other leaders, and attend the service at St Anne's Cathedral to both honour the queen's long service and to respect the unionist community's profound sense of loss.
#photo3"Unionists are feeling very unsettled in terms of their identity, unsettled about their place in the United Kingdom after Brexit," Deirdre Heenan, professor of social policy at Ulster University, told AFP.
"The queen's passing is a further blow to their confidence and identity. They will of course embrace the new king, but they will be aware that this could usher in seismic change," she said.
Peace
Elizabeth, who visited Northern Ireland 22 times as queen, played a telling role in the peace process after a historic agreement in 1998 ended the three decades of bloodshed in Northern Ireland.
In 2012, she shook the hand of former Sinn Fein minister -- and reputed IRA commander -- Martin McGuinness. A year earlier, she became the first British monarch to visit an independent Ireland.
#photo4At the end of mass on Sunday, the priest at the Catholic church of St Patrick's in central Belfast told his parishioners he intended to hold a prayer for Elizabeth, and they were free to leave if they wished.
None did, and all joined in the prayer, said taxi driver Paul Donnelly, 53, who was born in the year "The Troubles" started -- 1969 -- and whose father was maimed in a bombing by unionist militants.
"We may have had our differences but she was a mother, grandmother, who did her duty to the end," he said.
"As a kid, I saw IRA men shoot dead a British soldier. I never thought I'd see peace in this country, and she helped bring it about, 100 percent."

After a splendid show from their bowlers on the opening day, it was the turn of Madhya Pradesh batters, led by Shubham Sharma (102 not out), to respond strongly against Punjab on Day 2 of their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal game here on Tuesday.
Responding to Punjab's 219 on what appears to be a lifeless pitch, MP rode on a strong start to their innings to reach 238 for 2 at stumps, a 19-run lead with eight first innings wickets in hand.
Both the openers, Yash Dubey and Himanshu Mantri frustrated the opposition bowlers.
With the pacers failing to get wickets, Punjab had to wait for leg-spinner Mayank Markande for the breakthrough. The 24-year-old did just that by dismissing Yash Dubey (20).
However, both Mantri and Shubham Sharma stitched a solid 120-run partnership for the second wicket to put MP in command against a toothless Punjab bowling attack.
The duo batted for close to 48 overs and inflicted maximum damage to the Punjab bowlers in the process.
As Markande came to Punjab's rescue once again by removing Mantri (89), it was Sharma who continued with his brilliant and steady knock. The 28-year-old middle-order batsman slammed his sixth first class ton (102 not out), courtesy nine fours and a six, to put his side in command, with three days of play still to go.
For Punjab, the only consolation of the day was perhaps a tight bowling spell from Markande who also represented the Mumbai Indians in the recently concluded Indian Premier League.
Brief Scores: Punjab: 219 all out in 71.3 overs (Abhishek Sharma 47, Anmolpreet Singh 47; Puneet Datey 3/48, Anubhav Agarwal 3/36).
Madhya Pradesh: 238/2 in 99 overs (Shubham Sharma 102 not out, Himanshu Mantri 89; Mayank Markande 2/70).

JAMES SMITH CREE NATION - The federal minister for Indigenous Services, Patty Hajdu, is scheduled to visit on Tuesday the site of a mass killing in Saskatchewan.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Hajdu will express solidarity and ongoing support for the James Smith Cree Nation, northeast of Saskatoon.
Trudeau says the government will continue to "be there" for the community over the coming days, months and years.
The series of stabbings on the Labour Day weekend left 10 people dead and 18 injured on the First Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon.
Two suspects, brothers Myles and Damien Sanderson, also died.
A spokesman for Hajdu's office says she has been invited to attend a funeral of one of the victims and is not planning a news conference.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 12, 2022.

Her princess moment. Zendaya modeled a classic old-school Hollywood look at the 74th annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, September 12.
The 26-year-old wore a Valentino dress with Bulgari jewelry. Though she stars in the Valentino Pink PP Collection campaign, which will drop on Tuesday, September 13, the Spider-Man: No Way Home star went with a classic black ballgown, styled by her longtime collaborator Law Roach.
Tony Medina — known for creating vintage hairstyles — used Hidden Crown hair extensions, Tangle Teezer wide tooth comb and Aunt Jackie’s Curls and Coils products to give her that soft, glamorous look. Her face was painted by makeup artist Sheika Daley with Lancôme products.
Zendaya is nominated for several awards with HBO’s Euphoria. She is up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Rue, a teen drug addict. She is also the youngest executive producer to ever be nominated in the Outstanding Drama Series category. Additionally, she also has two nominations as a lyricist (co-writing both “Elliot’s Song” and “I’m Tired”) for the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics trophy.
The Malcolm and Marie star won the best actress Emmy in 2020, becoming the youngest performer to earn the honor. This year, Zendaya is nominated against Killing Eve‘s Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh as well as Ozark‘s Laura Linney, Yellowjackets‘ Melanie Lynskey and The Morning Show‘s Reese Witherspoon.
Zendaya has long been a fan-favorite among fashionistas during awards ceremony pre-shows. She’s even helped boyfriend Tom Holland, who doesn’t appear to be in attendance on Monday, learn a thing or two about being well-dressed.
Despite dating a fashion icon, the British actor has admitted that he isn’t as much of a trendsetter. The trained dancer has, however, started working with Roach.
“Law is a very good friend of ours and he is slowly sort of breaking me out of my shell,” Holland said during a December 2021 appearance on Quotidien, a French talk show.
He continued, “I’ve never been really that interested in fashion. I very much go for comfort in my clothes. So Law’s done a wonderful job with helping me become more confident and comfortable in stuff I wouldn’t normally wear, so I’m getting there slowly.”
The Uncharted star added that he has a ways to go before he can win a CFDA Fashion Icon Award like his love. The former K.C. Undercover actress became the youngest person to receive the honor last November.
“Naaa stop it 😍,” the supportive boyfriend captioned a snap of her on the red carpet at the time. “An incredible achievement for the most incredible person. Congrats @zendaya and @luxurylaw you guys deserve every bit of this.”
The California native prefers to keep her romances relatively private, only publicly acknowledging her relationship with Holland after they were photographed kissing in Los Angeles in July 2021, confirming years of speculation about their romance.
An insider told Us Weekly in July 2021 that the award winner “really helps guide [Holland] through the world of celebrity.” That started off with showing the Chaos Walking star learn how to handle fans recognizing him as he acclimated to fame and eventually moved into sharing Roach as a stylist.
Scroll down to see photos of Zendaya on the red carpet at the Emmys 2022:

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – A long, sad day of testimony detailed the last moments in the lives of the good Samaritan couple who offered a man a ride and paid with their lives.
DeWayne Watkins, 37, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the Nov. 8, 2018, shooting deaths of 32-year-old Heather Jose and her husband, 43-year-old Kelly Jose. The couple offered him a ride home from Mall St. Vincent, where they had been shopping with Kelly’s 13-year-old son, 18-year-old daughter, and her boyfriend.
The case’s lead homicide detective, Sgt. Angie Willhite spent most of the day testifying about her investigation. That testimony was peppered with video of the Jose family’s evening before they made the ill-fated offer to a stranger who said he needed a ride.
Before Willhite took the stand, however, Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Capt. Shannon Mack, a forensic cellphone and data expert who testified last week, returned to the stand. She gave additional testimony mapping the locations of Heather Jose’s cellphone as she drove from Mall St. Vincent into the Queensborough neighborhood where she died.
The Joses’ bodies were found inside a burning car under a metal carport in the 3400 block of Penick Street. Both had been shot once in the back of the head.
Tyler Sheets, cyber investigator for the Caddo Parish District Attorney’s office, followed Mack’s testimony. Sheets showed photos from surveillance video at Clark’s Gas Station at 4000 Jewella Ave., where Watkins allegedly rode a borrowed bicycle carrying a backpack with an empty fruit punch bottle.
The photos showed a clear picture of Watkins’s face, as well as one of his profile, and showed him with a gas pump in his hand.
Willhite took the stand around 11:15 a.m. and described surveillance video obtained from a jewelry kiosk at Mall St. Vincent on the evening of the Joses’ death.
As the couple’s families tried to hold back tears, they watched as Heather and Kelly went from store to store with Kelly’s young son Reagan, daughter Abby, and her boyfriend. They were enjoying each other’s company in what appeared to be just an evening out with the kids.
But as the family happily went into stores carrying packages, Watkins’s figure was captured moving about and standing at the kiosk, engaging with an employee. At one point, it looked as though he was giving directions.
There was no video of Watkins asking to use Heather Jose’s phone to call a cab, nor Heather calling a cab and offering to give him a ride when she couldn’t reach one. But it didn’t matter. On the first day of testimony on Sept. 2, both the Jose children testified to what happened, and young Reagan identified Watkins as the man who got into the car with his father and stepmother.
The Jose children went to the Joses’ apartment in Abby Joses’ boyfriend’s truck to wait for their parents. While they were there, Abby’s phone pinged, alerting her that $800 had been taken out of her school account, and the kids realized something had gone very wrong.
The most difficult part of the afternoon’s testimony was when prosecutors showed surveillance video at Chase Bank’s ATM at 3700 Greenwood Rd.
It would have echoed if a pin had dropped in the darkened courtroom. The silence was thick as a video of Heather Jose was shown withdrawing money from the Chase account in the final moments of her life.
Kelly, who was in the passenger seat, was slumped over the console as Heather put in her debit card and punched in the PIN. She turned a couple of times to speak with a dark figure in the backseat.
The car then left the ATM and was not seen again until around midnight, when a neighbor across the street and her daughter called 911 to report a car on fire in the 3400 block of Penick Street.
The state rested around 3:30 p.m. and began questioning Willhite about her investigation. Defense attorneys admit the Joses gave Watkins a ride to Shawanna Hughes’ house in the 3600 block of Penick, about an hour-and-a-half from where the Joses’ charred bodies were found. However, they deny he killed the couple.
Watkins claims a man named Tyron Bates was at Hughes’ home when the Joses’ dropped him off, went to their car, and then got in the backseat. Several other people were at Hughes’ house that night, but Willhite said Watkins was the only one who made that claim.
Defense attorney Sean Collins spent the first hour of cross-examination of Willhite pointing to the various witnesses she interviewed throughout the investigation and pointing out inconsistencies in their statements.
After the late-afternoon break, Collins again asked Willhite about various statements he credited her with saying to witnesses. Every time, it turned out to be something another officer had said.
It is believed the prosecution will rest on Tuesday, and the defense will begin its case.

The best desktop computers can enhance your work (or play) with a sleek design that’s much more compact than desktops of the past. These machines offer some of the fastest processor speeds, largest memory capacities, and biggest displays available. Creatives and gamers alike can get the power they need to get ahead and enjoy the best technology has to offer.
While these computers aren’t mobile, they’re relatively small, leaving you plenty of desk space for the rest of your work. Some feature an all-in-one design that looks like a souped-up tablet. Others are smaller than a book and don’t come with a monitor, keyboard, or mouse (sold separately). Here are our recommendations for the best desktop computers.
— Best Overall: HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One
— Best All-in-One: Apple iMac 27-inch
— Best for Gaming: Corsair VENGEANCE i17200 Gaming PC
— Best for Photo Editing: Apple Mac Mini M1
— Best Under $500: HP Slim Desktop
How We Picked the Best Desktop Computers
Processor: With today’s streaming video, graphic-heavy games, and memory-hogging editing software, a desktop needs a processor that can keep up with demand.
Memory: Memory isn’t what it used to be. Many desktops have several drives with memory capacity to run complex apps, games, and programs. We also considered if the desktop allowed users to expand that memory as needed. For an additional boost of memory, here are the best microSD cards.
Available upgrades: Technology keeps changing, and today’s top-of-the-line desktop easily gets left behind if it can’t adapt with upgrades. We looked for how and where upgrades were available, either in-cart or aftermarket.
Available ports: Ports, ports, ports! It’s not just how many but what kind and where they are. Not many desktops have ports in front to keep the look streamlined, but that often makes it tough to attach accessories, monitors, and other extras. The ports should also support the kind of devices users are most likely to use. For example, an Apple computer with a USB-A port can charge other Apple devices. Yet this feature is missing from many past iMacs (though not the ones on our list).
Best Desktop Computers: Reviews and Recommendations
Best Overall: HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One
Why It Made The Cut: The HP Pavilion 24 straddles the line between affordability and performance, making it a great choice for many professionals and families who may not need the top-of-the-line graphics and processing speeds.
Specs:
— Desktop class: All-in-one
— Processor: AMD Ryzen 5
— Boot drive capacity: 256 SSD (Upgrades available)
Pros:
— Speedy performance of the AMD Ryzen 5
— Adequate graphics for casual gaming
— 5 USB ports
— Excellent audio and webcam
Cons:
— Not enough graphics for gamers
— WiFi 5
If the HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One could walk, it would straddle the line between premium performance and affordable price. This model is not a budget desktop, but for under $1,000 (or over with the right upgrades), you get excellent performance. By performance, we mean that it can handle multiple programs, browsing, word processing, and streaming video without a problem. The AMD Ryzen processor provides ample speed, so you can move through all of those activities seamlessly.
When you’re watching and browsing, you can enjoy impressive audio for an all-in-one. If you’re regularly on Zoom for online meetings, the webcam on the HP will make you look good.
The monitor/stand is only 14.8 pounds, so you can move it around a desk fairly easily. It includes a white keyboard that would be better if it were wireless, but overall, it creates a sleek appearance and functions well. An AMD Radeon Graphics card provides the power to play casual games. However, if you like an intense 3D experience, a more expensive model with a graphics upgrade would probably be better.
There are limits to what the HP can do. Besides not being the best option for serious gamers, it only has WiFi 5. That’s not too bad, but considering that some of the more expensive models have the speedier WiFi 6, it’s a little sad for a desktop that’s otherwise excellent. If you're satisfied with WiFi 5 and want to save a little more money, look into a refurbished version of the HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One.
Best All-in-One: Apple iMac 27-inch
Why It Made The Cut: An incredibly fast 10-core processor, graphics upgrade, and a huge 27-inch screen provide bountiful speed, storage, and memory that come together in an intuitive, modern, effortless computing experience.
Specs:
— Desktop class: All-in-one
— Processor: Intel Core i9-10910
— Boot drive capacity: 1 TB
Pros:
— Gloss or matte texture for the 5K display
— Breathtaking graphics
— Speedy computing
— Includes a USB Type-A port
Cons:
— Price
— Less than impressive keyboard
As far as a Mac computer desktop goes, you can’t get any better than the Apple iMac 27-inch. The list of impressive features starts on the outside and keeps going to all of the visuals, from the design to the 5K display.
Speaking of the display, it comes in two options, a matte/nano texture or glossy. With the 5,120 x 2,880-pixel native resolution and 1 billion colors, you get to see every single detail of your work/game/video. If you opt for the nano texture, it helps reduce glare in bright light, but there’s no loss of color brilliance. And thank goodness for that because it provides a breathtaking viewing experience.
Visuals aren’t anything if there’s not the computing power behind it, which there is with this iMac. The Intel Core i9-10910 is the highest upgrade available. This latest iMac also supports Hyper-Threading, so it can handle more instruction threads at once. All of the graphics cards are fairly impressive, though the most advanced option, the Radeon Pro 5700 Xt offers 16GB of video memory. This model also has a USB Type-A port, the type needed to charge Apple devices, which has been missing from previous iMacs.
Once you start adding in the upgrades, this all-in-one gets pricey, putting it out of many people’s budgets. The other issue with this model is the keyboard. The iMac comes with wireless accessories, but the keyboard isn’t the most comfortable to use. For a smaller option, consider the best iPads. For a slightly cheaper option, look into a refurbished 27-inch Apple iMac.
Best for Gaming: Corsair VENGEANCE i17200 Gaming PC
Why It Made The Cut: The Corsair brings both a Core i9 and an RTX 3080 to provide amazing 4K gaming.
Specs:
— Desktop class: Gaming
— Processor: Intel Core i9-10850K
— Boot drive capacity: 1TB
Pros:
— Well-priced for a premium build
— Lots of RGB lighting options
— Excellent construction
— Premium 4K gaming
— Performs well for photo editing
Cons:
— Expensive, though reasonable for this a gaming desktop
— Loud fans
The Corsair VENGEANCE i17200 Gaming PC is a powerful desktop that’s meant for 4K gaming. It’s got the speed with the Intel Core i9-10850K that’s coupled with the RTX 3080 graphics card to do it.
Corsair is better known for their aftermarket products, but this upscale tower brings an aftermarket feel without the need to DIY everything. It also gets points for looks with a steel and tinted tempered glass panel. Once opened, things are clean and ready for any upgrades.
It features six fans, three of which you can see through the front panel, where you can also set and adjust RGB lighting schemes. These fans serve an important purpose, but they can get on the noisy side.
Gaming isn’t the only thing this desktop does well. All that computing speed and graphic power also make it an excellent choice for photo editing and graphic arts. While it’s not expensive for a gaming desktop, this model will set you back a good chunk of change. Amp up the experience with one of the best 4k gaming monitors.
Best for Photo Editing: Apple Mac Mini M1
Why It Made The Cut: Apple’s M1 processor upgrades an already peppy performance that can handle heavy photo editing without slowing down.
Specs:
— Desktop class: Small form factor (SFF)
— Processor: Apple M1
— Boot drive capacity: 256GB
Pros:
— Versatile uses because of processing speed
— Small footprint
— Can edit 8K video, run iOS apps and games
Cons:
— Cannot upgrade memory after later on
— Maximum 16GB memory and no eGPUs
The Apple Mac Mini M1 has a tiny design that hides the impressive power of Apple’s M1 Chip. The system on a chip (SoC) processor easily powers through intense games, CPU hogging photo-editing programs, and basic browsing and streaming. It’s the versatility that makes this little desktop a contender on many “best of” lists.
The Mini can handle a decent amount of 8K video editing and take on games that previous minis couldn’t. The only downside of the upgrade to the M1 is that it only comes with 16GB of memory. This version cannot be expanded with the eGPUs that many of the most demanding videographers and photographers might rely on. But the truth is most people, even those who photo edit as a business, won’t require more than that thanks to the M1.
The Mini comes in a couple of configurations and fewer Thunderbolt ports than the previous model. However, most users don’t miss the ports since many devices can daisy chain their way into the Mini. Another options is one of the best tablets.
A used Apple Mac Mini M1 is available from Amazon Renewed for a lower price.
Best Under $500: HP Slim Desktop
Why It Made the Cut: At a sub-$500 price, this little desktop computer from HP is a great addition to your set-up.
Specs:
— Desktop Class: Personal, gaming, business
— Processor: AMD Athlon Gold 3150U
— Boot Drive Capacity: 256 GB
Pros:
— Affordably priced
— Includes keyboard and mouse
— Compact design
— Boasts of energy-efficiency
Cons:
— Low memory, may need external drives for storage
The HP Slim Desktop is one of the more affordable computers out there, and it’s quite a find, considering it also comes with a wired mouse and keyboard. This desktop computer is aptly named, given its slim build at less than four inches wide, and under 12 inches in height. Recommended as a family home computer, this little device can fit easily on your desk, or snuggly underneath, to keep your tabletop clutter-free.
The HP Slim is quick and dynamic, powered by the AMD Athlon Gold 3150U dual core processor and running Windows 11, giving you the speed and efficiency of a premium computer at a fraction of the price. HP states this desktop is energy-efficient and reduces your carbon footprint, as it’s EPEAT Silver-registered and ENERGY STAR-certified.
With a DVD writer, headphone or microphone jack, media card reader, and six USB ports, as well as Bluetooth compatibility, this desktop computer has everything you’ll need for your everyday, run-of-the-mill computer activities. The cheap price is just the cherry on top.
Things to Consider Before Buying a Desktop Computer
Budget
Before you start drooling over a sleek, sexy desktop, take stock of your (realistic) budget. However, know this — your hard-earned dollars will go further with a desktop. Comparably priced desktops have more powerful processors than their laptop counterparts.
Desktops designed for simple browsing and word processing can run as little as $300. But towers designed for the high-powered creative or gamer can run up to (and over) $3,000. Everything from the graphics card to the format (all-in-one, mini, tower) affects the price. If you opt for a budget model, look for one that can be upgraded later on. You can save some money, yet the best desktop computers can grow with you.
Operating System
You can’t escape from the Mac vs. PC debate when looking for the best desktop computers. However, there are a few things to know. Most people are familiar with the PC operating system, even if they’re devoted Mac users at home. PCs are still the most affordable option, though Macs have the benefit of compatibility with iPads and iPhones. Macs also have a deserved reputation for durability and performance.
But, ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. Pick the system that will work best for the tasks you do most. If everyone in your house has Macs, a Mac makes more sense than a PC.
Graphics
Do you need a graphics card upgrade? Gamers, architects, graphic designers, photographers, and videographers are just a few of the people who may need more graphic power at their disposal. Inexpensive desktops may not have a graphics processor (GPU). They have an integrated graphics processor (IGP) that works well for emailing, streaming videos, and general browsing. However, it can’t keep up with most business uses or gaming.
Thankfully, desktop computers have some of the most powerful graphics cards available. Just make sure it’s something you need before spending extra money on one. Also, make sure the graphics card's abilities are supported by your monitor and vice versa. The newest 4K and 5K monitors require some serious GPU. If you’re happy with a 1080p monitor, you probably don’t need much of an upgrade.
Memory and Storage
How you use the desktop will determine how much memory and storage you need. You can still find some desktops with the older spinning hard drives. However, most people are better served by solid-state drives (SSD). They’re faster and more compact. For standard use, you can get by with 250GB to 256GB.
If you’ve got an extensive gaming or media collection that will continue to expand, look for a model with several storage drives and/or terabytes of storage. You can also get a machine with an excellent SSD that has slower hard drives to store bulkier programs (and memory hogs) like games and videos.
FAQs
Q: Which brand of desktop computer is the best?
Some people are devoted to HP or Dell, but no one outshines the cult of Apple. The iMac and mini have both performed well for years, with the latest upgrades keeping them at the top of the heap. Many people find that once they’ve switched to a Mac, there’s no going back. However, Apple laptops and desktops are among the most expensive on the market.
If you’re looking for quality at a more affordable price, one of HP desktop computers often edges out more expensive models for their processing power.
Q: Which desktop computer is best for home use?
Home use usually implies browsing, email, and streaming. If that’s what you’re looking for, the Apple Mac Mini M1, Intel Frost Canyon NUC 10 Miniature Desktop Computer, and HP Pavilion 24 are all options that have the speed and graphics for general home use.
The Intel Frost doesn’t come with a monitor, which lets it connect to a TV or monitor you already own. The same can be said about the Apple Mac Mini. Both of these models provide a small, versatile option in a home where space might come at a premium. You can also pair it with one of the best gaming keyboards.
Q: How to recycle a desktop computer?
Before recycling the computer, either remove or wipe the hard drive. The hard drive contains vast amounts of personal information that you don’t want thieves to get their hands on. Even if you’ve “deleted” all kinds of files, there are programs that can recover your information. Removal or professional cleaning is the best option.
Also, remove any devices connected to the computer. Next, find a store or program near you that recycles desktop computers. Staples and Best Buy both recycle computers, and there are other private organizations that recycle used computers. An internet search targeting the local area should reveal your options.
Final Thoughts
The HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One takes top prize the best desktop computer for its combination of performance and affordable price. This computer will let you browse, use a word processor, and watch streaming video with a clear, bright display. However, if you need more power, the Apple iMac 27-inch can do just about everything, except maybe the most intense 3D gaming.

Dining at 1,820 feet, in South Korea’s highest restaurant
By Jessie Yeung, CNN
The journey to the highest restaurant in South Korea starts with a whale display.
The airy 123F Lounge sits on the top floor of the Lotte World Tower in Seoul, 555 meters (about 1,820 feet) above ground. The tower is the tallest building in the country — and the fifth tallest building in the world, according to its official site.
But it turns out, getting to the restaurant isn’t as straightforward as hopping on and off an elevator; it’s a whole experience that can easily take up to an hour.
After buying an entry ticket — 27,000 Korean won (roughly $20) for adults, and 24,000 won ($18) for children — visitors enter a waiting hall, awash in blue light as whales swim across a giant screen on the ceiling.
Several different rooms follow — some with opportunities for professional photos, others displaying the building materials that make up the tower — before a puzzling series of whale-themed spaces.
There are two long hallways — one illuminated dark blue as whales swim beside you on wall-length screens, the other with LED ceiling panels rotating through colorful mosaic patterns, in sharp contrast with black-and-white whale photos on the wall. Vaguely whale-sounding calls add to the underwater ambiance. Another room has fake clouds suspended midair and whales painted on the wall, appearing mid-flight.
(I later learn this is all part of a temporary exhibition celebrating the work of whale photographer Jang Nam-won.)
Many whales later, you finally reach the elevator, which takes a minute to travel up to the Seoul Sky observatory, traveling at 10 meters per second.
Stepping out, visitors are guided to sit in a dark room as a video, apparently an artistic rendering of the history of Seoul and the Lotte World Tower, plays — before the screen splits into two giant panels, slowly lifting like a curtain to reveal the breathtaking view of Seoul through floor-to-ceiling windows.
The observatory spans multiple floors, with giant windows that allow a sweeping 360-degree view of the metropolis. One can spot the iconic N Seoul Tower perched on Namsan mountain, bridges stretching across the river, parks and sports stadiums and even the rides at the nearby Lotte World theme park.
Each floor offers different attractions, such as small cafes on the 119th and 122th floors. There’s the Sky Deck on the 118th floor, with a glass floor that lets you see all 478 meters (1,568 feet) between your shoes and the street far below. There’s the Sky Terrace on the 120th floor, an outdoor balcony with a perfect view of the winding Han River.
After the appropriate amount of ooh-ing and aah-ing, you finally reach the lounge on the 123rd floor.
The restaurant is both spacious and cozy, with cushy chairs and lamps on each table. Windows make up an entire wall, stretching up to the high ceiling to flood the space with warm light during sunset. A free viewfinder allows you to zoom in on the landscape.
The menu is on the pricey side by Korean standards — $28 for a beef stew, $19 for tomato spaghetti and $18 for a Caesar salad — but we took our time, watching the sun dip beneath the horizon, briefly turning the sky fiery orange.
The restaurant also offers pizza, sandwiches, steak and appetizers including a cheese selection.
The view was just as stunning in the dark, the city a grid of light spread out before us.
Though the 123F Lounge is a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or special date, there were also families with children and young adult friend groups when we visited. The lounge can also be rented for special events such as wedding receptions and product launches.
The Lotte World Tower is located in the Jamsil neighborhood of Seoul’s southeastern Songpa-gu district. It’s open all week, though hours depend on the day, and is accessible by subway, bus or private vehicle.

LOWVILLE — County officials were given an inside look and a bird’s-eye view last week of the progress being made on the $32 million construction project that will feature a new surgical pavilion and a complete renovation of existing inpatient areas of Lewis County Health System’s main campus hospital.
Donning hard hats and masks, the group was led to key indoor work locations and outdoor view points from the basement to the roof by Gerald R. Cayer, CEO of the health system. Michael Nuffer, construction manager for C&S Companies, Syracuse, helped narrate the tour.
The largest and in many ways most challenging aspects of construction so far, according to Mr. Cayer, have been moving earth and building retaining walls to keep soil out of the spaces empty of soil.
As the group looked out Sept. 6 over the construction site that sprawls from the north side of the hospital on North State Street to the massive soil hill Mr. Cayer referred to as “Mt. Lewis County” and the curvy road that leads to Number Three Road on the hospital’s western border, they were informed that about 60,000 yards of earth have been moved since construction began in April. And the digging still “isn’t quite there” yet, he said.
“At the very peak of Mt. Lewis County is loam that’s been moved that will be placed back here, so even though that is tall, it’s going to come down quite a bit once the loam has been spread around the backyard,” Mr. Cayer said.
The retaining wall concerned the health system’s board of managers, Mr. Cayer said, “because it was hard to visualize how tall (they) would be set against the (pavilion) project — there were fears that (they were) going to go up 60 feet — but at the highest point, it’s 16 (feet).”
Pointing to the first retaining wall completed by his crew, Mr. Nuffer said earth was also moved so that the access road out of the back of the campus is “the actual elevation of the Number Three Road.” He said there are more retention walls to be built along the project area.
The locations of future features were pointed out to the officials as the site has started to take shape — the parking lots, access roads and where the other two-thirds of the pavilion’s footprint will be.
The first floor of the structure has started taking shape, with wood supports extending from its sides like centipede legs.
The clanging of metal hitting metal and the incessant rhythmic thumps of pneumatic tools being worked through hard material provided the soundtrack for both inside and outside work, construction and medical.
The ground floor of the existing hospital building will be turned into the primary corridor leading to the new building by the C&S crew that has already gutted the area.
“First we had to come in and remove the asbestos that was in here. We removed all the outside walls and we found mold in the bottom of some walls so we replaced them,” Mr. Nuffer said, noting that new piping systems and duct work will be installed throughout the space.
Despite a number of challenges that have come up that could have slowed progress, Mr. Cayer said he believes the project “is where it’s supposed to be,” stopping short of confirming it is on schedule.
“I think the team has done a great job with some of the supply chain issues … flip-flopping which parts of the project are happening at what time. It’s happened several times, so basically, you adjust to the materials you get in,” Mr. Cayer said.
From Mr. Nuffer’s perspective, the unique set of obstacles created by “working in a building that’s operating 24/7 as opposed to a building you can shut down” have required a different approach.
In the main hallway of the medical-surgical inpatient area, Mr. Nuffer said they had to come up with a plan to harmonize having patients and construction in the same space.
“We’ve separated those two issues — the construction and the patients — by putting up a wall (down the middle of the hallway) and negative air behind it,” he said. “The patients will be on the right side of the hallway and the construction will be on the left.”
Mr. Cayer told the group that one of the most important aspects of the renovation side of the project is to create private rooms with private bathrooms and showers.
“Our rooms for the most part are doubles and they have one (toilet). That went out in the ’50s and ’60s. The way the bathrooms are being positioned in the (new) rooms are to give the utmost privacy to the patients in the bedded area … It just creates more dignity,” he said.
Some design elements have evolved because of the COVID-19 pandemic, like increasing the size of the oxygen tank that serves the facility and ensuring there are two “head boards” with electrical and oxygen hookups configured in each single room so they can be converted to double rooms if there is another surge of inpatients for any reason.
“It was very stressful a year and a half ago when one day we received a communication from the (state) Department of Health with an executive order doubling the bed capacity. In a building constructed when this was, it was hard to do that,” Mr. Cayer said.
Rationale for the project grows as work continues.
“We’ve found a lot of reasons after this got started why we should be doing this job,” Mr. Nuffer said. “In the patient rooms there was no sound attenuation — no insulation in the walls — between the corridor and the patient rooms, between the rooms, nothing. There was no fresh air in the patient rooms (except for windows). That’s not code any more.”
He added that his team is slated to add sound-muting insulation to the walls and to install fans and duct work to bring fresh air into all of the rooms mechanically.
The design for the renovations and the new pavilion sets the stage for additional improvements to the facility in the future without having to do a tremendous amount of restructuring or moving departments around.
Mr. Cayer shared ideas with the county officials that may be “the seed planted for the next project,” including the modernization and expansion of “the incredibly dated” kitchen using rooms being created in the area that will connect the new building to the old behind the kitchen, as well as potentially adding a “multi-denominational room of reflection” in the new pavilion close to the emergency department, surgery and one floor below the medical-surgical inpatient area.
“Like most health care organizations, it’s about sustained investment versus once-in-a-generation kind of adjustment in that once you finally get there, it’s so antiquated that you pay for it just in a different way,” Mr. Cayer said.
County officials who took part in the tour included legislative board chair Lawrence L. Dolhof, R-Lyons Falls; legislators Ian W. Gilbert, R-New Bremen; Joshua P. Leviker, R-Turin; and Jessica L. Moser, R-Denmark; county treasurer Eric J. Virkler; and county manager Ryan M. Piche.
“I’m impressed by the progress so far,” Mr. Dolhof said after the tour. “Especially with the dirt removal. I mean, 60,000 yards — that’s a huge process right there.”
The 26,000-square-foot surgical center and renovation of 17,000 square feet of space in the existing building are expected to be completed by the end of summer in 2024.
The health system is the only hospital in the county and its largest employer.

Kagan calls leak of draft opinion overturning Roe ‘horrible’ and expects investigation update by month’s end
By Ariane de Vogue, CNN Supreme Court Reporter
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan called the unprecedented leak of a draft opinion striking down Roe v. Wade last term “horrible” and said she expects justices to be given a status update by the end of the month on an investigation into the leak.
“I don’t know anything. I suspect my colleagues don’t know anything, except for the chief justice maybe, about what the investigation has turned up if anything,” she said of Chief Justice John Roberts and the probe he launched late last spring. But she called the leak “shocking” and an “obvious, blatant violation of the court’s rules.
If investigators have “not figured out who the perpetrator was” the next serious questions is how the court prevents the same thing from happening again, she said. The court, she added, depends upon its deliberations and reasoned decisions, “and you can’t do that if you know that you might wake up tomorrow morning and there is a decision and it is on the front page of newspapers.”
Kagan appeared at Temple Emanu-El’s Streicker Center for a conversation with Judge Alison J. Nathan who sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
The talk came less than a month before the new term is set to begin — on October 3 in the shadow of the midterm elections — when the justices will consider issues including voting rights, immigration, affirmative action, environmental regulations and religious liberty.
Kagan also spoke about the legitimacy of the court in comments that contrasted at times with remarks delivered Friday by Roberts.
For his part, Roberts defended the integrity of the court and said he didn’t understand the connection “between opinions that people disagree with and the legitimacy of the court.”
“You don’t want public opinion to be the guide of what the appropriate decision is,” Roberts said, speaking before a conference of judges in Colorado.
But Kagan suggested Monday that how the court is perceived by the public is vital to its legitimacy.
“I think judges create legitimacy problems for themselves — undermine their legitimacy — when they don’t act so much like courts and when they don’t do things that are recognizably law,” she said.
“And when they instead stray into places where it looks like they are an extension of the political process or where they are imposing their own personal preferences,” she added.
Kagan cautioned that she was talking in general terms, and not pointing to any one decision or series of decisions. But she reiterated that, in general, judges should abide by precedent — echoing sentiments the liberal justices made in a fiery joint dissent after the court reversed Roe last term, a landmark opinion that had been on the books for almost 50 years. (Roberts voted against overturning Roe in the case, but he agreed with the majority that the Mississippi law at issue should be allowed to go into effect.)
Following precedent, Kagan said, amounts to a “doctrine of stability in the law” and a “doctrine of humility.” It respects the work of past judges and it ensures that people don’t consider courts political actors, she said.
“Because if one judge dies or leaves a court and another judge comes in and all of a sudden the law changes on you — what does that say?” she asked.
“That just doesn’t seem a lot like law if it can depend so much on which particular person is in the court,” she added.

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni—the gift that keeps on giving!
The "Law & Order: SVU" and "Law & Order: Organized Crime" stars appeared on the Emmys 2022 red carpet, taking place live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sept. 12. The pair stopped to speak with "Live From E!" co-host Loni Love, who couldn't help but ask the question on all our minds: "Are we ever going to see Olivia [Benson] and Elliot [Stabler] get together? Come on. Give me the tea."
Hargitay and Meloni gave each other a knowing look, singlehandedly sending the internet into a frenzy. Hargitay said, "You want the tea, baby? Sweetheart, get in line!"
"That's the most expensive tea you'll ever buy!" added Meloni.
It was worth a try!
But here's the good news—Hargitay noted that she has no plans to retire from the force anytime soon. "I don't know, but as long as I'm engaged and telling these kinds of stories, I'm loving it," she said. "Next year will be a quarter of a century!"
Hargitay said she remains passionate about playing Olivia Benson because of the fans who consistently tune in. "The idea of this woman who is powerful and brave and compassionate and a true force for good, and the show is a vehicle for good, and I am beyond grateful," she said. "It's such a partnership between the shows and the fans because what they give us and what they share with us really infuses the stories we tell."
Entertainment News
Fans are extra excited for new episodes of all the shows, which will jointly premiere as part of a three-hour crossover event on Sept. 22. The night will kick off with "Law & Order: Organized Crime," which will lead into "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," before coming to an end with "Law & Order."

Seattle-area concrete union workers reach deal with employers
TUKWILA, Wash. - Seattle-area concrete mixer drivers have reached a deal with their respective companies, more than a year after their contract expired.
Negotiations led to a nearly five-month-long strike, which led to delays in construction projects like the West Seattle Bridge repairs and Sound Transit Light Rail expansions.
According to Teamsters Local 174, the union that represents King County concrete workers, most of the members' top priorities were resolved; including medical coverage for active employees, pension increases, and new rules to solve workplace issues
"Yesterday’s ratification is a victory for the Teamsters, one truly earned through blood, sweat, and tears," said Local 174 Secretary-Treasurer Rick Hicks in a statement. "In the end, we got significantly more than these companies ever wanted to give, and we proved once again that the members of Teamsters Local 174 are militant, strong, and will not be bullied into submission by any employer — even groups of companies that run King County construction like a cartel."
Teamsters said the only thing that was missing from the agreement was an adjusted medical plan for retired members.
The new agreement protects more than 225 concrete workers at Cadman, CalPortland, Salmon Bay Sand and Gravel, and Stoneway Concrete through 2025.

It appears the mass media is not the only place those crying afoul of royal reverence are being discouraged. A 22-year-old Scottish man — weirdly enough wearing a Melbourne City FC football top — was arrested yesterday for shouting that Prince Andrew was a “sick old man” as the procession for Queen Elizabeth II passed through Edinburgh.
Two others — a woman in Edinburgh with a “Fuck Imperialism. Abolish the Monarchy” sign and an academic who shouted “Who elected him?” at Charles’ proclamation in Oxford — have also been arrested. Plus photos have emerged of a woman with a “Not my king” sign outside the House of Commons being led away by cops.
We’ve noted previously that for a country that views itself as packed to the rafters with irreverent larrikins, Australia sure does have a lot of laws prohibiting the use of colourful language at figures of authority (oh hey, guess who that disproportionately affects?).
So what law was being broken in the UK?
While many nations around the world have what’s called lèse-majesté laws — French for “to do wrong to majesty” — as it turns out, the UK is not one.
A law making it illegal to call for the abolition of the monarchy in the UK is still on the books, but we’re assured it’s not enforced any more. In Scotland, a lèse-majesté law was struck off in 2010 (apparently having not attracted a conviction since 1715).
Separately, a monarch can’t have civil or criminal proceedings taken against them. (How far is Andrew down the line of succession again?)
According to police, the Scottish man, identified as Rory, was “arrested in connection with a breach of the peace”. The woman being moved away from the House of Commons was simply making way “to facilitate vehicle access and egress through the gates” and was not arrested.
Much like the fact that police in Australia have total discretion about who they charge with bad language offences — and by staggering coincidence disproportionately decide to charge young Indigenous people — it seems basic “disturbing the peace” laws might be more likely to be enforced in the next few weeks.

Council Gets Behind Clean Up Week With Free Disposal Of Litter
Litter pickers and trash bashers doing their bit to keep the district tidy during Clean Up Week 2022 will be able to dispose of all the waste they collect for free at Queenstown Lakes District Council’s (QLDC) transfer stations in Frankton and Wānaka.
The annual, nationwide event organised by Keep New Zealand Beautiful (KNZB) begins this Saturday and runs until Friday 23 September.
QLDC Waste Minimisation Project Officer Kath Buttar said Council was once again getting behind the event with promotion and the offer of free disposal of all litter collected.
“Getting involved in Clean Up Week is an easy way to make a positive and tangible impact in your neighbourhood,” she said.
“So get your friends, whānau, school, business or local community group together, grab a bucket or reusable collection bag and some gardening gloves and choose an area to clear of litter. This could be your own street, a favourite play park, reserve or trail, the lakefront or town centre.”
Ms Buttar said KNZB’s website had a list of events that people could join, or they could register their own event and start spreading the word.
“There are heaps of resources and advice online about things like the right equipment to use, health and safety considerations and how to promote your event.”
“Once you’ve finished you can take all the litter you’ve collected to either of our transfer stations with disposal costs covered by Council. We do ask that the person dropping off the litter is the same person named in the KNZB registration form, and that they have both ID and the digital token provided by KNZB as part of the event registration process.”
QLDC’s transfer stations are located at 110 Glenda Drive, Frankton and next to Wastebusters on Ballantyne Road, Wānaka. Maps are available on the Council’s website at www.qldc.govt.nz/services/rubbish-recycling/transfer-stations
For the first time, this year there will also be the opportunity for those involved to contribute to the KNZB Citizen Science programmes. The data collected from these programmes will feed into a shared database that will help inform local and national legislation, community-led programming and behaviour change campaigns.
Anyone wanting more information on Clean Up Week should visit the event website at www.knzb.org.nz/programmes/clean-new-zealand-beautiful/clean-up-week/

Queen Elizabeth has been eulogized by countless politicians and other leading figures across the globe. But in his tribute to the late monarch in the House of Lords, Baron David Wolfson used a new method of talking about the significance of her death: explaining a pillar of Jewish mysticism.
In a six-minute speech on Friday, Wolfson, a Conservative who served as a justice minister under Boris Johnson, walked his peers through several aspects of Jewish tradition — including gematria, the Jewish practice of finding meaning through the numerical value of words.
First he discussed the term “mitzvah,” or good deed, explaining that it is not simply a good deed one does at will — it is a duty whose roots are the Hebrew letters tzaddi and vav, or “tzav.”
“Her late majesty spent her whole life doing the right thing, and not just because she felt like it, or because the mood took her,” he said “She spent her 96 years doing the right thing day in and day out, out of a sense of duty.”
Wolfson then slid into the magical realm of gematria, which was developed by Kabbalah practitioners, noting that the sum of the Hebrew letters that make up the word mitzvah add up to 96.
“In one of those coincidences, which perhaps are not, the value, the numerical value of the Hebrew word tzav, the root of the word mitzvah is 96 — 96 years of tzav, of duty, and also of mitzvah of doing the right thing, because that is your duty.”
Baron David Wolfson
“In one of those coincidences, which perhaps are not, the value, the numerical value of the Hebrew word tzav, the root of the word mitzvah is 96 — 96 years of tzav, of duty, and also of mitzvah of doing the right thing, because that is your duty,” Wolfson said.
Wolfson also noted that in synagogues throughout the world, the reading of the Torah will soon be complete, and that tradition dictates that it start again right away. That offers a parallel to the British tradition of mourning the passing of one monarch and joyously welcoming another, in this case, King Charles III.
“We’ve closed one book, a long and good book which we’ve had with us for so many years, and we are about to open another,” said Wolfson, a lawyer who studied in his youth at a yeshiva in Jerusalem. “And as we all pray that God save our King, I will also pray that he too may enjoy a reign of mitzvah of doing the right thing, for that now is his duty.”
British Jewish lawmakers pray for King Charles III
Wolfson and at least two other lawmakers, Baron Stuart Polak and Robert Halfon, a Conservative member of parliament from Harlow, in Essex, each spoke of the poignancy facing them and hundreds of thousands of British Jews as the Sabbath loomed. For the first time in their lives — for the first time in the 70 years since Elizabeth assumed the throne — they would pray for the welfare of a king, not a queen.
“And so tomorrow for the first time in my life, we will not pray in synagogue for Prince Charles, but for King Charles,” said Wolfson, who also noted a change to his status as an attorney who is authorized to practice in certain high courts. “I started yesterday as a Queen’s counsel, and I finished it as a King’s counsel.”
Polak, speaking the same day in the House of Lords, recalled in his remarks a conversation he had in 2016 with Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth’s daughter, in which they regretted that the British Foreign Office forbade her from traveling to Israel and the West Bank because of the sensitivities attached to the area among Britain’s Arab and Muslim allies.
“We agreed as someone who was deeply religious and God-fearing, it was sad, it is sad that she never walked down the Via Dolorosa into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,” he said. “She never walked and visited the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem or experienced the peace and tranquility on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.”
Halfon noted how Elizabeth’s reign coincided with the assimilation of Britons of all backgrounds into the middle class, noting that his town Harlow was one to where residents of London’s East End — including many of its Jews — migrated in the post-World War II era.
He described the queen swearing him in 2015 as a member of the Privy Council, the body of officials reporting to the monarch.
“Her Majesty did not bat an eyelid,” he said. “I thought, ‘There am I, a son of an immigrant to this country, becoming a member of the Privy Council’, and I thought to myself, ‘what an honor and what a meritocratic country we have.’”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid pleaded guilty Monday to felony driving while intoxicated resulting in serious physical injury stemming from a 2021 crash, which occurred when his pickup truck struck two stopped cars on an interstate entrance ramp and seriously injured a 5-year-old girl.
Reid, the 37-year-old son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, had been scheduled to go to trial on Sept. 26. Britt Reid had faced up to seven years in prison, but the plea deal means he now faces a possible sentence of up to four years in prison. He entered his plea in Jackson County Circuit Court in Kansas City. Sentencing is set for Oct. 28.
While questioning Reid to confirm that he understood the plea deal, Circuit Judge Charles McKenzie said Reid also could serve a short period of time in prison and then be placed on probation if he qualifies for good behavior.
Investigators said Reid was intoxicated and driving about 84 mph (135 kph) when his Dodge truck hit the cars on an entrance ramp to Interstate 435 near Arrowhead Stadium on Feb. 4, 2021.
A girl inside one of the cars, Ariel Young, suffered a traumatic brain injury. Six people, including Reid, were injured in the crash.
In court Monday, Reid acknowledged he was drinking on the night of the crash.
“I really regret what I did,” Reid said. “I made a huge mistake. I apologize to the family. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.”
Tom Porto, an attorney representing Ariel’s family, said they opposed the plea deal.
“The five victims of this crime are outraged the prosecuting attorney is not seeking maximum sentence allowable by law,” Porto said. “The defendant is a prior offender whose actions caused a 5-year-old girl to be in a coma and seriously injured three others.”
A Kansas City police officer who arrived at the scene of the crash reported he could smell alcohol and that Reid’s eyes were bloodshot, according to court documents. Reid had a blood-alcohol level of 0.113 two hours after the crash, police said. The legal limit is 0.08.
One of the vehicles he hit had stalled because of a dead battery and the second was owned by Ariel’s mother, who had arrived to help.
The Chiefs reached a confidential agreement with Ariel’s family in November to pay for her ongoing medical treatment and other expenses.
Reid underwent emergency surgery for a groin injury after the crash. The Chiefs placed Reid on administrative leave and his job with the team ended after his contract was allowed to expire.
This is not the first legal issue for Reid, who graduated from a drug treatment program in Pennsylvania in 2009 after a series of run-ins with law enforcement. His father was coach of the Philadelphia Eagles at the time.
Britt Reid’s older brother, Garrett, served a two-year sentence in a Pennsylvania state drug program after he was arrested on drug-related charges. Garrett Reid was found dead in August 2012 in his dorm room at Lehigh University, where he was assisting at the Eagles’ training camp. A coroner ruled that he died of an accidental heroin overdose.

India's third largest software exporter HCL Technologies has laid off 350 employees globally who were working on its client Microsoft’s news related products, signalling an increasingly tough business environment. The employees were informed about the same in a town hall last week, people familiar with the development said.
These employees were laid off from across geographies including Guatemala, the Philippines and India to name a few. The last day of work for the employees will be September 30 and they will be offered severance pay.
“Microsoft had an issue with the quality of work. We used to monitor, curate and edit content for its news platform MSN from across countries like India, Europe and the US. They had recently automated the process as well for global news monitoring. Prior to this, two years ago, Burda Media was managing this site,” one of the employees who was laid off told Moneycontrol seeking anonymity.
There are also other functions and products like trending on Bing, Geopolitical news curation, comment moderation, tabloid hit apps, and transformation by Teams which have gotten impacted.
People with knowledge of the matter added that the contract with HCL Technologies has ended and it is likely to be passed on to some other vendor. Accenture might be in the running for the same, a source said, but Moneycontrol was not immediately able to verify this. In a similar fashion, two years ago, Burda Media too had laid off around 200 employees when its contract was over.
“Our Technology & Services vertical continues to see robust growth and is one of the fastest growing segments for us,” an HCL spokesperson said in a statement to Moneycontrol’s detailed queries, offering no comments on questions related to layoffs.
This comes at a time when Indian IT companies are already seeing margin pressure due to inflation and impending recession in markets like the US and Europe, the biggest markets for the sector.
The development also indicates the ongoing business slowdown, budget and target readjustments by Big Tech including Microsoft, Google and Meta.
Coping mechanisms
Dealing with macro headwinds, Microsoft was among the first Big Tech firms to lay off about one percent of its total staff strength of 1.8 lakh in July, followed by 200 more in August. CEO Satya Nadella called it a part of his realignment. The company also updated its revenue targets.
Meanwhile, Google CEO Sundar Pichai also hinted at layoffs to make the company 20 per cent more efficient recently after an internal warning to employees to improve performance. Meta too had slowed down investment pace into newer projects amid a revenue drop.
Overall, all the Big Techs have significantly cut down on hiring. According to a report by Xpheno, in India, across Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix and Google, collective active job openings were below 9,000 in August as compared to the typical collective openings of over 40,000. Amazon still was an exception with moderate-to-above-moderate level of hiring action.
Within the top three IT companies Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Wipro there were either delays or partial cuts in variable payouts of employees, especially for senior employees for the April-June quarter. Interestingly, HCL Technologies, however, didn't have any variable pay related issues while also offering hikes to employees, several workers told Moneycontrol.

Existing investors TPG Growth, Prosus Ventures, Temasek and ADQ will invest about $70-80 million in the latest round through a convertible instrument, people aware of the development told ET.
Morgan Stanley and Bank of America are advisors to the fundraise.
Moneycontrol could not independently verify the report.
In May this year, General Atlantic planned to plough $2 billion into India and Southeast Asia over the next two years after falling valuations made the region's startups more attractive.

Anitha Rangan of Equirus thinks the RBI will likely pause after September, citing lower-than-expected GDP growth in Q1FY23, expectations of inflation coming closer to 6 percent by December, and more certainty in global policy actions going forward.
On the oil prices, the economist, backed by her 16 years of experience predominantly in fixed income, credit and economic research encompassing global and local markets, says while direct geo-political tensions may ease, the after-effect of reduced energy supplies from Russia is likely to linger. This means that reduced energy supplies to European region will keep the prices of oil contained or rather provide a floor of not coming down massively perhaps below $90 a barrel.
In an interaction with Moneycontrol, the economist shares her views on evolving macro fundamentals and the plight of the Reserve Bank of India in managing a soaring inflationary environment. Excepts from the interview:
Do you think the geopolitical tensions are gradually easing with the current developments in Ukraine and will that bring oil prices below $70 a barrel levels in coming weeks?
While direct geo-political tensions may ease, the after-effects of reduced energy supplies from Russia is likely to linger longer. This means that reduced energy supplies to European region will keep the prices of oil contained or rather provide a floor of not coming down massively perhaps below $90 a barrel.

In addition, come winter the energy demands of European regions increases. Furthermore, note that the reduced prices is a function of global recessionary impulses. Over time if recessionary impulses ease especially in China and US, demand led recovery could also cap the downward risk in oil.
However, the point to note is that India benefits largely from discounted Russian oil prices and therefore energy inflation in India is not necessarily similar to rest of the world.
Do you expect significant depreciation in the British pound against the Indian rupee in coming quarters given the rising expectations for recession in Europe?
Depreciation of currencies currently are largely led by dollar appreciation. On the corollary, US dollar appreciation is driven by weakening Europe and UK currencies. While GBP and other currencies have freely depreciated against the dollar, Indian rupee’s resilience has been led by RBI's support in the form of reserves.
Note that RBI has used around $90 billion of reserves and $30 billion of forwards in its defense of rupee volatility. Fear of recession will drive depreciation of GBP and EUR against USD not necessarily INR. And if this leads to dollar strengthening, then INR could also be impacted. However, RBI as stated is likely to continue to support INR from undue volatility.
Also read - IIP growth at 4-month low of 2.4% in July as base effect continues to normalise
Do you think the global macro environment may cap the market upside?
Global macro environment rather than capping the market upside does induce a lot of volatility. Global events in terms of central bank hikes, recession fears along with strong labour market (in the case of US), higher inflationary trends, softening commodities, easing of geo-political tensions presents a mixed picture in terms of direction of events. Therefore, one can expect more volatility in the near term spearheaded by uncertainty related to the turn of events.
What are the value themes that you are betting on for healthy returns?
On the domestic front, while global headwinds do impact the growth instincts, it is notable that domestic consumption is strong. Furthermore, domestic inflation is expected to head downward towards the end of the year, agriculture output provides a defense against sharp rise in food prices, central bank is not as aggressive as rest of the world and recovery momentum is sustained albeit at a slower pace.
Also read - Equity funds stare at drying coffers as volatile market shrinks cash flow by 31%
Therefore the themes that one can bet on are around are domestic consumption led and domestic capex. Among all the noise, the key positive is government is on track on its capex spending and private capex in brownfield is gradually recovering. Credit growth is notably strong indicating that the demand of working capital is robust further reaffirming that demand recovery is ongoing.
Do you think the RBI will take a pause in rate hikes after September policy meet?
Yes, the expectation is that RBI will likely pause after September. This is led by three reasons a) the lower than expected GDP growth in Q1, will lead RBI to lower its growth estimates and acknowledge that the growth for the year may also require support b) By next policy in December, inflation is likely to come closer to 6 percent and the direction will be more clear c) Global policy actions will have more certainty and RBI will get better visibility on global rate outlook which will support its pause.
Overall, RBI has always maintained a supportive growth-inflation dynamics. Note that policy is not the only instrument to act on rates. Liquidity is a powerful tool to raise rates especially in the shorter end of the curve (1-3 years). With the credit demand especially of working capital largely concentrated in the shorter end of the yield curve, using liquidity tightening to deliver “implicit” rate hikes may be the choice of instrument rather than repo rate. Also note that liquidity tool is at the disposal of RBI and therefore gives more flexibility to RBI to manage actions more dynamically rather than repo which is an MPC tool with less flexibility of dynamic changes.

Key advantages of HP Metal Jet technology include:
- Innovative New Designs: New geometries, density control and designs to lightweight or consolidate metal parts push the boundaries of what is possible with 3D printing.
- Improved Customer Economics: Process steps needed to create parts are shortened whilst costs due to manual labor or complexity requirements are reduced, driving efficiencies across the supply chain.
- Increased Productivity: Binder jetting can boost productivity tenfold, allowing for processing layer by layer versus point process. Isotropic properties also require no post-processing and no support removal, and the use of metal powders is also more cost-effective than laser-based 3D printing powder.
- Higher Resolution to Drive Part Quality: HP printheads leverage decades of industrial thermal inkjet technology developments, defining geometry and delivering high resolution and system robustness, making mass 3D metal parts a viable option for commercial manufacturing.
Innovative Collaboration, Breakthrough Applications
Advancements and new production applications highlight the advantages of Metal Jet, including better productivity, low part cost, and outstanding quality.
HP has already built strong momentum with leading partners and customers including GKN, Parmatech, Cobra Golf, Legor Group, and Volkswagen, and more. HP is also collaborating on mass metals production opportunities with new partners and customers around the world, including Domin Digital Motion, an innovative industrial company focused on hydraulic systems and valves, Lumenium, a startup developer of advanced rotational engines, and Schneider Electric.
Schneider Electric is the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation. Their product portfolio includes products, controls, software and services across residential, commercial, industrial and critical applications.
"We are excited about the new possibilities for our business as a result of this collaboration with HP," said Michael Lotfy, SVP of Power Products & Systems, North America, Schneider Electric. "We are constantly in pursuit of solutions that will enable more sustainable, agile innovations development. Leveraging HP Metal Jet our teams have delivered a proven use case showcasing the benefits of digital manufacturing and 3D printing, and we look forward to uncovering many more applications that meet the evolving demands from our customers addressing the challenges around sustainability and Electricity 4.0."
Together with GKN, a new filter used on Schneider Electric's NSX breaker was produced using HP Metal Jet technology, which could not be achieved with conventional industrial manufacturing capabilities due to the shape & material complexity. HP Metal Jet technology not only facilitated the design of new power filters shapes that reduce gas, pressure, and heat impact in a more limited space, it also resulted in significant productivity gains and environmental benefits.
Showcasing 3D Metals Mass Production at IMTS
Michael Lotfy, SVP Power Products NAM Hub, Schneider Electric, will join Ramon Pastor and Meaghan Ferris, HP's Global Head of 3D Metals Go-to-Market, on September 15 at 8:15 am U.S. Central Time for a keynote address at the Additive Manufacturing Conference at IMTS. Schneider Electric along with HP and its partners and customers will showcase their journey driving 3D printing metals technology into mass production. See the new HP Metal Jet S100 Solution and a wide variety of production applications at the HP booth at IMTS #433000.

The US has vowed to continue to give support to Ukraine as the Ukrainians are fighting hard to defend their country and take back territory seized by Russia.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, but Ukrainian forces retook large areas around Kyiv in early April after Russia abandoned its push towards the capital. "We're not going to speak for Ukrainians. We'll leave it to Ukrainians to describe their operations. But it's clear they are fighting hard to defend their country and take back territory, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday.
We're going to continue to give them the support they need to succeed on the battlefield, she said. The US has announced two significant security assistance packages last week, brought more than 50 countries together to coordinate its support, and has worked to fulfil the Ukrainian requests for what they need to be successful on the battlefield, the official noted.
After Ukraine seized Balakliya last Thursday, Russian troops retreated, leaving more than 1,100 square miles back in the hands of Ukraine, the Washington Post reported Monday. Russia's defence ministry said troops were regrouping, the daily said.
In the last five days, Ukraine has recaptured more territory than Russia has taken since April, according to the Institute for the Study of War, which closely tracks the conflict, said the news report. The New York Times reported that cracks have emerged in the Russian official narrative as lawmakers and pundits on state television cast doubt on Moscow's prospects.
Meanwhile, US Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Europe and Regional Security Cooperation, and Senator John Cornyn introduced legislation giving the Pentagon enhanced procurement authorities to quickly refill American defence stockpiles after American military aid to Ukraine.
Earlier in the day, Jean-Pierre said that Russia's war in Ukraine is a threat to the rules-based international order that has been the foundation of stability across the world for decades.
Russia's actions open the door to aggression elsewhere. And we've been very clear about that, she said. The President also has been clear that we will continue to support Ukraine as they continue to defend their democracy against Russian aggression, she said, alleging that this is a war that was unprovoked by Russia, an attack on a sovereign country.
We see how bravely the Ukrainians have been fighting to fight for their freedom. We support that. So we are grateful for the bipartisan support that has made it possible to provide Ukraine with the unprecedented military, humanitarian, and financial support.
We are asking Congress to pass additional funding to support Ukraine's effort, she said.

BEIJING, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A large number of high-tech enterprises showed their digital technologies and products at the just-concluded 2022 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), which heralds opportunities for innovative development of digital services trade.
The metaverse experience hall of CIFTIS attracted a lot of visitors as it had created a deep immersive travel experience for the audience with XR virtual shooting technology, glasses-free 3D technology, and holographic interactive space among others.
Many exhibitors of the metaverse experience hall believe that CIFTIS has set up a bridge for metaverse to enter the consumer-level services trade market.
At the telecommunications, computer and information services exhibition area of the Shougang Park venue of the 2022 CIFTIS, robots of different shapes can be seen at the booths of almost all the exhibitors, working as publicity ambassadors for the exhibitors by displaying their different skills.
Multiple practical products featuring artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, 5G, blockchain and other advanced technologies were also displayed at the event.
According to Feng Ming, a doctor of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), PUMCH displayed the portable intelligent neuronavigation robot jointly developed with Tencent AI Lab and the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at this year's CIFTIS.
The navigation platform of this robot integrates the surgical technology and experience of PUMCH's neurosurgery team, and combined with preoperative imaging, it can assist doctors to locate intraoperative lesions and perform puncture surgery with the robotic arm, further reducing the difficulty and improving the accuracy of the surgery.
Digital yuan also outshone at the event, and many banking, insurance and fintech companies displayed their e-CNY products at the exhibition area of financial services.
The Bank of China launched the digital RMB hard wallet, and according to the introduction of a staff at the booth of the bank, the hard wallet can help the elderly, children and other groups who are not good at mobile phone payment complete the consumption payment without carrying cash.
Exhibitors said that CIFTIS has helped shorten the distance between financial institutions, people and digital RMB, and through the interactive activities in the exhibition, the audience can more intuitively experience the security, convenience and efficiency of the digital RMB, which is helpful for the application of "digital RMB plus".

On September 8 2022, King Charles III ascended to the throne. Like his mother Queen Elizabeth II before him, he has opted to keep his own name as his regnal name.
Traditionally, monarchs may choose their own regnal name, which can be different to the name they otherwise use. For example, Charles’s grandfather Albert became George VI (who reigned from 1936 to 1952). This strengthened the connection of his reign to that of his father George V (1910-36) after the abdication of his older brother, Edward VIII (Jan-Dec 1936). Although Edward was his first name, his family called him by the last of his given names, David.
King Charles III could have chosen one of his other names - Philip, Arthur or George - but has decided to remain Charles. Some have lauded this decision for keeping it simple, although given the history of the two previous King Charleses, one might have forgiven him if he had decided to sidestep it.
Read more: Charles has been proclaimed king. But who is Charles the man?
Charles I: the king who lost the monarchy
Charles I, born in 1600, was the second son of King James VI. He became heir apparent (first in line to the throne) after the death of his older brother, Henry. He ascended to the throne in 1625.
Charles I’s policies were frequently unpopular with both his subjects and the parliament. His religious policies were considered too sympathetic to Roman Catholicism, and he levied taxes without parliamentary consent.
Tensions between his supporters, known as Cavaliers, and parliamentary supporters, known as Roundheads, led to the English Civil War. He was defeated in 1645, imprisoned, convicted of high treason, and executed by beheading in 1649.
The Commonwealth of England was established as a republic, and the monarchy was abolished, albeit only for 11 years.
Charles II: the king without a parliament
Although initially proclaimed as king by the Scottish parliament after his father’s execution, Charles II (born in 1630) did not reign until 1660. He lived in exile in Europe until the monarchy was restored and he was invited to return to England.
Relations between the new monarch and the parliament were not smooth. Charles II dissolved parliament, ruling without it for the final four years of his reign before his death in 1685.
Political tensions notwithstanding, Charles II was a more popular king than his father. He was known as the “merry monarch” and presided over a lively and hedonistic court. He had at least 12 illegitimate children by mistresses, but left no legitimate heir. He was succeeded by his brother, James II of England (James VII of Scotland).
In recent days many people have remarked how it’s difficult to hear the phrase “King Charles” without wanting to add the word “spaniel”. So how did this breed of dog get its name?
Spaniels were as ubiquitous in King Charles II’s court as corgis in Queen Elizabeth II’s. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, to give it its full name, was bred in the 20th century to resemble his favoured dogs, and named after his political supporters, the Cavaliers. The dogs’ ears also bear an uncanny resemblance to Charles II’s famous long wig.
What lies ahead for King Charles III?
Royal beheadings and exiles may be much rarer these days, but King Charles III faces his own more modern set of challenges. He became king just two days after a new British prime minister was sworn into office.
Conservative Liz Truss may have left her anti-monarchist days behind her, but the United Kingdom is facing a cost of living crisis that could potentially stoke public resentment about royal family expenses.
While the first two Charleses stood and fought for particular political ideologies, the contemporary British monarch is expected to be apolitical. Indeed, while still Prince of Wales, Charles had previously stated he wouldn’t “meddle” as king.
This was reaffirmed in his first public speech, in which he said, “It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply.” His challenge here will be remaining silent on politicised issues that are known to be close to his heart, such as climate change.
Read more: It would be appropriate for King Charles to remain strong on climate: Albanese
King Charles III starts his reign less popular than both his predecessor and his heir, Prince William. Affection for Queen Elizabeth II is not the sole reason republican debates have faltered in the past, but an unpopular monarch could be leveraged to raise questions about the institution as a whole.
In a political and economic climate where the meaning and expense of the monarchy is subject to debate, taking on a regnal name with a legacy of abolished (and restored) monarchy might be tempting fate.

NEW YORK (AP) — Rain gathered on the tin foil covered and spray-painted catwalk of Tommy Hilfiger’s New York Fashion Week show as guests huddled under umbrellas, waiting for the event to start. The Brooklyn outdoor venue promised a stunning skyline view of Manhattan — but with no covering, it made for a damp, albeit memorable evening.
Despite the wet stage, the show went on. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s New York City studio, The Factory, Hilfiger’s Tommy Factory emphasized multimedia expression — from the tin foil sculptures alongside the catwalk to the guest musical appearance of drummer Travis Barker during the show’s finale. Kate Moss, Shawn Mendes, Kris Jenner and Barker’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian, were among the guests sitting fronting row.
“The fact that (Warhol) brought all different people together from art, fashion, music, entertainment, celebrity is very similar to what I’ve done and what I’m doing,” said Hilfiger.
Hilfiger’s fall runway show debuted a new monogram for the designer and premiered his Tommy Hilfiger X Richard Quinn capsule. His first New York Fashion Week show in three years featured androgynous styles with bulky sweaters, bold patterns and oversized puffer jackets (a nod to Quinn’s signature style) as well as Hilfiger staples, such as preppy knits and plaids.
The brand’s typical color scheme of blue, red and white was ever-present: A baggy, rugby style dress in red and blue was styled over a button-down shirt, tie and red pleated shirt; another model wore a blue and red quilted varsity jacket over a large red scarf and blue sweatpants, tucked into boots.
Julia Fox, who walked in the show along with Winnie Harlow, Ashley Graham and Kate Moss’ daughter Lila Moss, wore a red and blue striped turtleneck bodysuit with black tights bearing the new interlocking T and H logo.
John Legend, who also sat front row, said he felt for the models walking and hoped they got hazard pay. When asked how his wife, model Chrissy Teigen, would feel about the conditions, he said, “She would have something to say about it.”
The show ended with edgier looks. Models wore head-to-toe denim, emblazoned with the new monogram — the same look Kardashian wore Sunday — and leather harness accents. Model Precious Lee even carried a black leather whip as she walked the runway.
Tommy Factory also played out as a virtual show on the online game platform Roblox, where gamers could buy Tommy Hilfiger digital skins and purchase physical products for themselves.
“We’re staying on the cutting edge,” said Hilfiger. “Because if you fall behind, catching up is an impossibility.”

Why Is My Tax Bill 3 Times Higher Than My Neighbor?
Why Is My Tax Bill 3 Times Higher Than My Neighbor? Welcome to home ownership. New home buyers are finding their tax bills are higher, sometimes much higher, than their neighbors. What’s going on? Short answer. They’ve been here longer, so save up buttercup. Right before the housing market crashed in 2008, things were getting a little crazy. Home values were all over the place, and some (many on fixed income) were literally being taxed right out of their homes. As a Realtor, I sold one home where the tax bill jumped from $1,500 to over $10,000. All the neighbor’s tax bills were jumping up too, because of the sale and re-assessment. The Save Our Homes amendment was signed in 1992 and was a lifesaver for homesteaded properties. Additional changes were added in 2008 and doubled the exemption. That’s when (before the crash) $250,000 and $300,000 homes were selling for $500,000 to $700,000. Sort of like the last year, right? Source TBT.

From the Better Business Bureau
September 8, 2022 — Scammers wasted no time capitalizing on the Biden Administration’s plan to cancel some federal student loan debt, as BBB predicted. BBB Scam Tracker has already received reports from consumers who have been targeted by impostor loan forgiveness calls and emails. So far, BBB® has not received any scam reports in Michigan.
How the scam works
You receive a call or voicemail from someone claiming to represent a new student loan forgiveness program. To see if you qualify for forgiveness, the scammer insists that you need to complete an online application form, which asks for personal information, such as your bank account details. Scammers might also insist you need to pay an upfront fee or redirect your current loan payments to them.
Currently, the application process for student loan forgiveness under the Biden Administration’s plan does not go live until sometime in October.
Right now, most of the student loan forgiveness scams reported to BBB Scam Tracker are government impostors. But watch out for new variations as scammers have time to get creative.
How to avoid student loan forgiveness scams
Only communicate with the Department of Education directly. If you receive a message from someone claiming to be from the government, verify by contacting the government agency. For details on the student loan forgiveness program, visit ED.gov or StudentAid.gov.
Never pay fees for a free government program. Government agencies will never ask you to pay a fee to benefit from a free government program. Don’t let scammers persuade you otherwise.
Think twice about unsolicited calls, emails, or text messages. Government agencies rarely reach out to you unless you request to be contacted. Out-of-the-blue communications are a red flag.
Don’t give in to scare tactics. If someone claims you’ll miss out if you don’t act immediately, be wary. This is an all-too-common tactic scammers use on their victims. Instead of responding, stop communications until you can verify what they say is true.
For more information
For information on federal student loan repayment options, visit the official government website, StudentAid.gov. This is the best way to determine if you qualify for loan forgiveness and how to receive it.

Unable to sit and do nothing, and fearing for Sid’s safety, Juliet decides to go the funeral too and check on Sid.

LOS ANGELES — Veteran actor Sheryl Lee Ralph, an ageless stalwart of the industry who won an Emmy as a first-time nominee at the age of 65, relished in her victory by bellowing powerful lyrics about being an “Endangered Species,” and imploring others to never give up on themselves no matter how long it takes to be seen.
Ralph took home television’s highest honor Monday night for best supporting actress in a comedy for her role as Barbara Howard, a beloved, matriarchal Kindergarten teacher on “Abbott Elementary,” the ABC “mockumentary” sitcom about high-spirited teachers in a woefully underfunded Philadelphia public school.
In tears before gathering herself to accept the trophy inside the Microsoft Theater, Ralph opened her acceptance speech with a powerfully delivered acapella version of the song “Endangered Species” by Dianne Reeves, belting: “I am a woman, I am an artist/And I know where my voice belongs.”
“To anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream wasn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t come true, I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like,” Ralph declared before pumping her fist. “This is what striving looks like!”
Ralph’s honor comes after decades in the business with multiple iconic roles – from “Dreamgirls” on Broadway in the 1980s, to stepmother to the title character on the 1990s sitcom “Moesha.”
In an interview with the Associated Press, Ralph relayed excitement about diversity at the Emmys, praising the Korean language “Squid Game” as well as her own show, "Abbott Elementary,'' which has a majority-Black cast.
“The fact that this is the first time since the 1980s that people in a majority Black cast have all been nominated, the first time in 40 years,” Ralph said. “The fact that it is my first nomination, my first invitation to the awards and guess what? Nothing before its time. Everything is right on time. And I’m happy to be here because I’m sailing, baby. I’m loving it.”
Ahead of the award show, Ralph spoke on the red carpet about finally being appreciated in Hollywood, saying she initially thought the Mrs. Howard role would be a thankless gig.
“I was just doing my job because I felt like that. I thought that I was just going to be there collecting a check,” Ralph said in an interview with People magazine. “I had no idea that people would see the subtleties in the work. It’s very easy for people to miss the layers that you put in sometimes as an actor. And they saw it all.”
She also recalled how decades ago, legendary actor Robert De Niro advised her to keep going even though Hollywood was “not looking for the Black girls.”
“Thirty years later, I am seeing my nomination, and thank God I didn’t give up on me because it’s been a rough climb, but it’s worth every step,” Ralph said moments before her win.
Ralph was resplendent in a black velvet strapless gown with orange underside and a slit to her upper thigh and rocked a bedazzled high ponytail, with social media taking note of her sexy look that defied her age.
“You don’t make it at 30, you can make it at 50,” Ralph said in an interview with E! “You don’t make it at 50, you can make it at 60 and still give them goodness.”

Justice Kagan cautions Supreme Court can forfeit legitimacy
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is cautioning that courts look political and forfeit legitimacy when they needlessly overturn precedent and decide more than they have to. Kagan’s comments come less than three months after a five-justice conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade’s constitutional guarantee of abortion access. Kagan says the public’s view of the court can be damaged especially when changes in its membership lead to big changes in the law. In remarks Monday at Temple Emanu-El in New York, she stressed that she was not talking about any particular decision or even a string of rulings with which she disagreed. She struck a different tone from Chief Justice John Roberts, who has consistently defended the court’s legitimacy.

The new Prince and Princess of Wales could tour Australia early next year — and may even take their children.
It is understood the palace is looking at plans for royal family members to travel to as many realms and countries where King Charles III is also head of state, as soon as possible next year.
William and Catherine, possibly with their children George, Charlotte and Louis, will formally accept condolences on the death of the Queen.
The royal couple last toured Australia in 2014 with a baby Prince George.
It comes after news King Charles is planning a visit to Australia in one of his first moves as monarch.
Mark McGowan has revealed he expected the King to visit our shores next year as he joined with Governor Chris Dawson to officially proclaim him as the ruling monarch of WA.
Speaking after a special meeting of the executive council held on Sunday to recognise the new sovereign in WA’s legal framework, the Premier said he had been “impressed” when he first met the King on his last visit to WA in 2015.
“I would have thought by next year he will probably come to Australia, and if he comes to WA, that would be terrific,” he said.
Royal insiders have confirmed King Charles is determined to do everything he can to strengthen the relationship between the monarchy and Australia — and a 17th visit to Australia is among the top priorities on his to-do list.
The 73-year-old’s most recent in 2018 to open the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
He and Camilla visited Perth in 2015 for then Prince’s birthday party at Cottesloe Civic Centre.
However Former Australian high commissioner to the UK, John Dauth, who also worked as press secretary to the then-Prince of Wales from 1977-1980, told AAP that Charles had become more of a ‘home body’ in recent years.
“Travel is a burden, I expect he will probably do quite a lot of it as soon as he can because after all he’s not young,” Mr Dauth said.
“It’s a bloody long way (to Australia) and very demanding.
“The Queen Consort (Camilla) does suffer very badly from jet lag. She doesn’t travel well. So that is going to be a bit of a limitation for them. They don’t actually relish the whole idea of travel. What they do like very much, is being at home.
“They’ll do travel because he has to.”

GENEVA: A UN expert said on Monday that human rights had deteriorated under the Taliban, describing a “staggering repression” of women and girls and “descent towards authoritarianism”.
Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, called for radical changes in the country.
“The severe rollback of the rights of women and girls, reprisals targeting opponents and critics, and a clampdown on freedom of expression by the Taliban amount to a descent towards authoritarianism,” he told a Human Rights Council meeting.
In separate remarks to the council, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, Ilze Brands Kehris, said that some 850,000 girls had dropped out of school, placing them at risk of child marriage and sexual economic exploitation.
Most girls’ secondary schools in Afghanistan have been closed since the Taliban took over in August 2021 after the group made a sudden U-turn on promises to open them in March.
The Taliban, a hardline Islamist group whose administration is not officially recognised by many governments, has said that schools will remain closed until a plan is drawn up in accordance with Islamic law for them to reopen.
Brands Kehris also raised concerns about women’s access to lawyers in cases of gender-based violence in Afghanistan. “Women have nowhere to go to seek justice and redress in today’s Afghanistan,” she said.
The mandate to monitor human rights violations in Afghanistan was established by the Geneva-based council almost a year ago. A draft resolution by the European Union seeks to renew it and a decision is expected by October 7.

TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- McCain Foods has acquired Scelta Products, adding the Netherlands-based producer of frozen foods to its growing family of delicious, prepared vegetable appetizer product offerings.

Despite the turmoil and uncertainty in the post-COVID world, McCain continues to look for opportunities to grow and invest with acquisitions that align with its business values and global leadership position. Scelta Products marks the latest in a series of investments and acquisitions McCain has made in recent years to expand its appetizer and snacking offerings; some of these include Ad van Geloven, Strong Roots and Forno De Minas.

"With common customers and shared values as family-owned companies, there is a natural complement between McCain Foods and Scelta Products," says Max Koeune, CEO of McCain Foods.

Scelta Products has been driving innovation in the frozen vegetable industry for more than 22 years and has been a business partner of McCain's for the past 13 years. Scelta Products' onion rings, battered and breaded mushrooms and other vegetable appetizers fit well within McCain's existing appetizers portfolio and will allow us to serve growing consumer and customer demand for delicious snacking options.
Scelta Products' plant assets will be integrated into McCain's product network, creating increased production capacity to accelerate global prepared appetizer growth throughout European and international markets.
Scelta Mushrooms, cofounder of Scelta Products and the international route to market for more than 20 years, will solely focus on its mushroom business going forward.
McCain values the skills, experience and motivation of the management and employees of Scelta Products and looks forward to welcoming them to the McCain family.
"After more than a decade of building a successful business partnership, we are thrilled to officially become part of the McCain Foods family," say Jos Koster and Wilco Boone, co-founders of Scelta Products. "Our companies have grown together over the years, and I'm excited to see that continue. In joining forces with McCain, a global leader in prepared appetizer products with similar business values to ours, I am confident that the legacy of Scelta Products' will continue to be built upon."

Working moms top 75% for first time in Japan
13:19 JST, September 13, 2022
The proportion of working mothers in child-rearing households exceeded 75% for the first time in 2021, according to a Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry survey.
According to the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions, the proportion of mothers with children younger than 18 who said they were employed stood at a record high of 75.9%, up 3.5 percentage points from 2019. The proportion was the highest since 2004, when the current calculation methods started.
The percentage of mothers in child-rearing households working full-time increased 3.4 percentage points from the previous survey to 29.6%, probably due to measures to support employment, such as the expansion of childcare services, which have made it easier to work full-time. The percentage of mothers in non-regular employment decreased 0.5 percentage points to 37.3%.
Meanwhile, 24.1% of mothers did not work outside of the home. The survey found 39.8% of mothers in households with babies under 12 months of age, 35.1% of mothers in households with 1-year-olds and 35.6% of mothers in households with 2-year-olds were not employed.
The survey results show that the younger the children, the more likely their mothers were not to work.
The survey was conducted in June 2021, covering about 63,000 households nationwide. Sixty-eight percent of them, or about 43,000 households, responded.
The survey was conducted for the first time in two years after the survey in 2020 was canceled due to the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Nawanshahr, September 12
Sheer negligence of the driver of an 18-wheel truck driver snuffed out the lives of of three members of a Batala family at Behram near here this afternoon.
Batala-based Guriqbal Singh, his wife Ramandeep Kaur and their son Jasmeet Singh were heading towards Nawanshahr when a truck coming from the opposite side suddenly took a U-turn at the Mahilpur T-point. The truck driver took the turn so rashly and on high speed that car drivers coming from the opposite side had no time to stop to save themselves.
The hind part of the truck loaded with sand and stones fell over two cars — Etios and Liva, both of which came under its huge impact. Those in the Etios car suffered some injuries while the family in the other car was not so lucky.
The eye-witnesses said the canter driver took a sudden U-turn and seemed to have gone out of control. Those who gathered at the site took out the victims from the mangled remains of the car but those in the Liva car were not so lucky. They were declared brought dead in the local hospital.
Banga DSP Sarwan Singh Bal said, “We have seen the videos of the accident. It was clearly the negligence of the truck driver, Major Singh. We have lodged a case against him under Sections 304, 427 and 279 of the IPC.”

HOLGUIN, Cuba, Sept 12 (ACN) Renowned painter, draftsman, illustrator and muralist Cosme Proenza Almaguer (Baguanos, 1948) died early this morning at the Vladimir Ilich Lenin Hospital in Holguin(eastern Cuba).
Graduated from the National School of Art in Havana and the Institute of Fine Arts in Kiev, Ukraine, Cosme created from Holguin a sui generis pictorial cosmovision that makes him distinguishable and valued in the contemporary artistic field.
Critics and experts affirm that his analytical emphasis and appropriation made him one of the pioneers of Cuban post-modernism, when it was not predominant in the country.
His work, shown in important exhibitions such as "Voces del Silencio" and "Paralelos. Cosme Proenza: History and Tradition of Universal Art", integrate the collective imaginary of the Cuban and its multiple universal echoes, and reaffirms him as one of the Hispanic-American artists owner of one of the most original cosmovisions in recent times.
He was nominated several times for the National Prize of Plastic Arts and received multiple awards such as the Maestro de Juventudes distinction granted by the Hermanos Saiz Association.

CNN
Iran has taken “a step backward” with its latest response to a nuclear deal proposal, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday, calling a near-term agreement “unlikely.”
“What we’ve seen over the last week or so in Iran’s response to the proposal put forward by the European Union is clearly a step backward and makes prospects for an agreement in the near-term, I would say, unlikely,” Blinken told reporters, speaking from Mexico City, where he met with Mexican President Andr?s Manuel L?pez Obrador.
The United States and Iran have traded responses via the European Union to a proposal put forward by the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell. Iran submitted its initial answer in mid-August; the US replied to it about a week later.
Earlier this month, Iran sent its latest answer, which a State Department spokesperson called “not constructive.”
As CNN previously reported, according to a US senior administration official, Iran in its latest response reopened the issue of the UN nuclear watchdog’s investigation into undeclared uranium traces found at Iranian sites. Iranian officials had repeatedly said that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) probe would need to be closed before they would return to the deal. However, a separate US senior administration official suggested last month that Iran had accepted the EU proposal – described by Borrell as the “final text” – without making demands regarding the investigation.
Blinken said Monday he could not offer a time frame for when he thinks it will be possible to reenter an Iran nuclear deal, saying Iran is either “unwilling or unable to do what is necessary to reach an agreement.”
“They continue to try to introduce extraneous issues to the negotiation that make an agreement less likely,” Blinken said. “But certainly what we’ve seen in the last week is a step backward away from the likelihood of any kind of near-term agreement.”
US officials had previously voiced some optimism around the latest efforts to revive the nuclear deal – which the US left in 2018 during the Trump administration and which Tehran has increasingly violated since then – but hopes of a breakthrough have continued to fade.

Africa Data Centres joins forces with Nigeria's top internet exchange point (IXPN)
IXPN collaboration facilitates reliable, secure, connected co-location and cloud migrations for local customers.
Africa Data Centres (www.AfricaDataCentres.com), the largest network of interconnected, carrier- and cloud-neutral data centre facilities in Africa, and part of the Cassava Technologies group, has taken a significant step forward in its wide-scale expansion into Africa (https://bit.ly/3DlgNb4) by joining forces with Nigeria's principle internet exchange point: IXPN (http://www.IXP.net.ng/).
"IXPN is unquestionably the leading internet exchange point in Nigeria and provides Africa Data Centres with the connectivity it needs to give customers market-leading service," says Dr Angus Hay – Africa Data Centres group executive: IT & partnerships.
"The partnership will enable Nigerian entities to migrate their systems into a world-class data centre with total confidence, knowing they will have access to a highly available, secure and connected ecosystem of strategic partners."
In the digital economy, enterprises are migrating to the cloud and internet-centric technology, but find the expenses associated with operating their infrastructure, including backup generators and physical security, too high. Shared data centre resources reduce the total cost of ownership while increasing availability and connectivity and bringing new opportunities to partner and innovate.
"Organisations are moving away from their on-premises equipment to promote greater business agility and scalability. To do this, they need a trusted specialist provider to house their systems, as well as a co-location provider, who can assume the role of a trusted partner and provide excellent local and international connectivity," adds Hay.
Effective cloud services cannot be implemented without stable internet access and robust, reliable data centres. This is the essence of the partnership between Africa Data Centres and IXPN – they bring internet peering to the table and the data centre provider delivers the local ecosystem for customers.
IXPN, Nigeria's leading internet exchange provider, allows local content and service providers to connect directly for the exchange of local internet traffic rather than having their data travel long distances. They are increasing the speed with which end-users can access online resources by bringing the content closer to the customer, resulting in significant improvements in business efficiency.
In a statement, IXPN Chief Executive Officer Muhammed Rudman expressed delight in the partnership with Africa Data Centres, saying: "We are excited to partner with Africa Data Centres towards providing an additional point of presence to our members within the new Eko Atlantic City.
"Our partnership with Africa Data Centres provides our members with access to more peering facilities, particularly in Lagos, which will significantly improve connection performance, lower bandwidth costs and lower latency for Nigerian internet traffic, " he concluded.

ORANGEBURG -- Betty Richardson McCants, 103, of Orangeburg, passed away on Sept. 11, 2022.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 at Church of the Redeemer, with the Rev. John Burwell officiating. The family will receive friends immediately following the service in the church fellowship hall.
Betty was born in Orangeburg on Dec. 14, 1918, to Caroline Gordon and William Manning Richardson. She was raised during the Depression in an extraordinary Orangeburg family, by a gifted mother who was a graduate of Winthrop, a teacher, a moving force in the preservation of Orangeburg history, a social writer for The Times and Democrat, and an avid painter, and by a father related to six South Carolina governors, an active Mason, and the longtime Orangeburg County treasurer.
Betty was the fifth of seven successful children, Caroline G. Richardson, William M. Richardson Jr., Gene Richardson, Eleanora Richardson, Henry Deas Richardson, and C. Gordon Richardson, all of whom predeceased her. Growing up in a large family with limited resources in the middle of the Depression, Betty took advantage of her mother's job with the paper to get free tickets to all the silent-era and “talkie” movies to grace the Orangeburg theaters.
Graduating from Winthrop College, Betty taught elementary school in St. Matthews until she married Thomas Robert McCants of Orangeburg following his commencement from the Naval Academy in World War II. While Tom served in the Pacific on the submarine USS Flasher that sank the most Japanese shipping of the War, Betty returned to Orangeburg to deliver and raise their first child alone. Even after the war, Betty often raised their four children single-handedly as a Navy wife, while Tom served this country for 30 years, with the family moving frequently up and down the U.S. East Coast and Puerto Rico as duty required, until retiring to the family farm near Orangeburg in 1972.
Betty was a born teacher and constant learner, an avid bridge player, crossword puzzle solver, artist and doodler extraordinaire. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and over the years volunteered regularly at the Episcopal Church and the Orangeburg public schools, as well as serving as a caregiver to her husband as he battled Parkinson's in later years until his death in 1992. She was also very involved with the DAR. In 1996, Betty decided to move to The Oaks and lived there very happily, as did three of her siblings. She has been an inspiration to all her descendants, instilling in them a love of reading, the arts and life-long learning.
Betty is survived by her four children, Thomas R. McCants Jr. (Mary), William R. McCants (Terry), Jean M. Crockett (Douglas) and Philip S. McCants; grandchildren, Rebecca Long (Jason), Thomas/Zabo McCants (Tamera), Caroline Howell (Justin), Ellen Dobbs (Josh), Alison McCants (Adam White), Kenneth Crockett (Lindsay), Michael McCants (Hannah), Sean McCants (Christine), Sam McCants (Rachel) and Sarah McCants; and great-grandchildren, Jack and John Long, Rebecca Dobbs, Silas Kroto, Conrad and Henry McCants-White, Hailey Howell, Jackson and Luke Hickey, Thomas Colton McCants, and Elizabeth Hiester McCants; as well as numerous nieces and nephews and their offspring. She will be missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, contributions should be made to your favorite charity.

Gardner-Edgerton School Board again takes up proposed pronoun policy
School board members will take two weeks to make edits to the policy, survey teachers
School board members will take two weeks to make edits to the policy, survey teachers
School board members will take two weeks to make edits to the policy, survey teachers
The Gardner-Edgerton School Board once again reviewed a proposed bathroom and pronoun policy at its Monday meeting.
Several board members want new restrictions on pronouns and school bathroom use.
Last month, the board took public comment on the draft policy. On Monday, 23 people gave additional comment. The school district limited in-person attendance to 60 people and then locked the doors.
The big issue is a draft policy that would change the district's stance on gender identity, bathrooms, and parent notification.
Male and female would be defined at birth and all students would get corresponding pronouns. The policy includes bathroom enforcement, with single-use restrooms for anyone who wants an exception. Locker rooms would be the same.
The public had a lot to say on the topic.
"You can't use religion as a means to push whatever bigoted policy you feel like pushing. These people were up here preaching a mini-sermon while trying to strip human beings of their God-given right to autonomy and free will," said Jake Melvin.
"Parents in the United States have a constitutional right to control the upbringing of their children. This is not a trivial right. It is a fundamental one," said Erica Sheets.
The board decided not to vote on any policy Monday. Instead, board members will take two weeks to make edits to the policy while the district surveys its teachers for their opinion.
Many board members would like to adopt the new policy soon. The superintendent has said drafting a new policy could take years.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Meetu Singh seemingly took an indirect dig at Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s latest film Brahmastra. Singh took to her Instagram and shared a cryptic message taking a jibe at Bollywood. This post comes after some netizens have been boycotting Bollywood and Brahmastra and saying that they need justice for SSR.
Sharing an old photo of Sushant, she took a dig at Brahmastra movie and said that SSR is enough to destroy Bollywood. She further added that the movie was a pathetic attempt to win publics love.
She wrote, “Sushant’s Brahmastra is enough to destroy this Bollywood. Bollywood has always wanted to dictate the public, never stopping to show mutual respect n humility. How can we let people like this be the face of our country which is so rich in moral values? Their sorry attempt of winning d public’s love wid pretentiousness has failed. Quality n Moral values r the only thing that’ll win admiration n respect.”

Consumer Confidence Rises, First Time Since Nov
Consumer confidence is finally on the rise, following a long string of Australian pessimism driven by pandemics, war, inflation, and interest rate rises.
The Westpac-Melbourne Institute sentiment index lifted 4 per cent to 84 points, the first lift since November.
Despite the increase, confidence is still at levels seen during the GFC.
“Consumers may be a little less fearful, but confidence remains very weak,” Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said.
“Index reads in the 80-85 range mean pessimists still greatly outnumber optimists.
“The improvement is a little surprising, especially given continued sharp rises in the cost of living and the RBA’s decision during the survey week to make another half a percentage point increase in the official cash rate.”
Evans notes that only record employment levels have kept the index from dropping further over the past year.
“Despite intense pessimism more generally, consumers are still remarkably upbeat about labour market prospects,” he said.
Official employment figures are released on Thursday, and are expected to hold steady at 3.4 per cent.

Snap Shot is a weekly column taking a look at the lighter side of football.
Just three days after being one of Carlton’s best in their VFL semi-final loss to the Brisbane Lions, Will Hayes jumped on a plane and headed to Ireland.
He was back among Lyons as he arrived at famous Irish trainer Ger Lyons’ stables in County Meath, about an hour out of Dublin, to help ready Melbourne Cup fancy Camorra for the big race, already working within 24 hours of his delisting being announced.
He might have been mucking out but, as he said on the phone from Ireland, there was “no mucking around” as he was in the air on Tuesday morning after the Blues went down by two goals in the semi-final.
“It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, just been an incredible experience that I couldn’t not go to, so I thought rather than licking my wounds and working in Melbourne I may as well come over to Ireland and experience the best parts of this industry,” Hayes said.
Hayes played two senior games with the Blues after being selected in the mid-season draft, but an unlucky suspension in his second match stopped his momentum and he could not find his way back in the team. The strength of his season was highlighted on Monday night when he was named in the VFL team of the year.
On Sunday, however, Hayes was far from the MCG and Ikon Park as he prepared and watched Camorra run eighth in the Irish St Leger, resuming from a spell after winning the group 2 Curragh Cup at the Curragh racecourse.
The plan for the horse is clear as travelling foreman Harris Walker takes Camorra to Newmarket on the day after the AFL grand final before leaving to quarantine at Werribee on October 10.
It’s worth noting that although Hayes went to track work in the mornings, he did not handle a horse while on the Blues list, his joy at being in Ireland only slightly soothing his disappointment at not being on Carlton’s list alongside what he described as “a great bunch of guys” as the club kept his spot open for a younger player.
“[Being delisted] stung a bit because it is such a great club and success is definitely around the corner and I wanted to be a part of that,” Hayes said. “Being a professional footballer you learn it is a tough industry. I am not very good at feeling sorry for myself, so I just got on and moved on straight away.
“I am one of the lucky ones where I am turning the page on to another very exciting chapter in my life.”
And hopefully get Camorra ready to give the second most important cup won in Melbourne each year.
“It’s an eye-opener [being here]. They have a traditional way of training horses,” Hayes said.
The seat of Melbourne has fallen
Plenty are analysing Melbourne’s fall away in the second half of the season, but few have tied it to a change in government.
Well, the facts don’t lie. The Demons recorded their 17th successive win on the day Anthony Albanese led the ALP to victory over the Scott Morrison-led Coalition. From that point on the Demons, who have a fairly conservative history, won six matches and lost eight to tumble out of the finals in straight sets.
By contrast, Geelong began their 14-game winning streak on election day and Collingwood beat Fremantle the next day to begin an 11-game winning streak that now sits at 13 wins in their past 15 matches.
We should have known on May 21 that the Blues didn’t stand a chance, as they won just four of their final 12 games post-election to miss out on the finals via a late swing to the Western Bulldogs.
Clearly the election result was pivotal in determining the fortunes of a few clubs in the 2022 premiership race.
Buddha, the win-after-the-siren-in-finals veteran
In 1994, former Cat Garry Hocking enjoyed a remarkable finals series when the Cats won the qualifying and preliminary finals with goals after the siren to Billy Brownless and Gary Ablett snr.
On Saturday afternoon, the coach of Leopold had what he called the “utopia of coaching” when he watched Connor Giddings take a mark 20 metres out from goal and then kick straight after the siren to beat Newtown-Chilwell by five points.
The mark came after a free kick and controversial 50-metre penalty put Leopold in the middle of the ground to kick the ball deep into their forward line, having been inspired by a goal from their captain Marcus Thompson.
“I feel like I have 66 sons,” Hocking told K-Rock post-game.
Hocking played in four losing grand finals at the Cats and then coached Port Adelaide into a SANFL grand final in 2014, which they lost to Norwood by just four points. He was at Collingwood until COVID-19 cuts resulted in his departure, but he has stayed in touch with the in-form Jordan De Goey, who trained at Leopold when in exile from the Magpies.
Leopold, for whom former Cat Trent West returned mid-season to play in the ruck, now play St Mary’s in the Geelong Football League grand final, the locals hoping they can enjoy a Cats win in the preliminary final before catching the action.

Janelle Monae is a true artist, and it shows. The singer and actress wore a show-stopping dress at the Toronto Film Festival, and it is a literal work of art.
The cream-colored Iris Van Herpen FW22 Couture gown featured structured feather-like detailing that draped from one shoulder and cascaded into a long train that trailed behind her. Monae matched the look with a detailed updo in her signature honey blonde hue.
Monae is usually a front row fixture during New York Fashion Week, but this time around, she decided to spend her time north of the border to commemorate the premiere of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery at the Toronto Film Festival.
Stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn is responsible for this flawless look. In an Instagram post, she shared a behind the scenes look at the actress serving looks on a piping hot platter.
Whether it’s an appearance for a red carpet event or on the front row of a fashion show, the 36-year-old actress always brings her top-tier style. There’s no shape, pattern, fabric or color too bold or outlandish for Monae. She is skilled at wearing elaborate pieces and bringing them to life.

SEOUL, South Korea — Nearly 300 South Koreans who were adopted to European and American parents as children have so far filed applications demanding South Korea's government to investigate their adoptions, which they suspect were based on falsified documents that laundered their real status or identities as agencies raced to export children.
The Denmark-based group representing the adoptees also called for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to prevent agencies from destroying records as they face increasing scrutiny about their practices during a foreign adoption boom that peaked in the 1980s.
The 283 applications submitted to Seoul's Truth and Reconciliation Commission through Tuesday describe numerous complaints about lost or distorted biological origins, underscoring a deepening rift between the world's largest diaspora of adoptees and their birth nation decades after scores of Korean children were carelessly removed from their families.
Peter Møller, attorney and co-founder of the Danish Korean Rights Group, said he also plans to sue two Seoul-based agencies – Holt Children's Services and Korea Social Services – over their unwillingness to fully open their records to adoptees.
While agencies often cite privacy issues related to birth parents to justify the restricted access, Møller accuses them of inventing excuses to sidestep questions about their practices as adoptees increasingly express frustration about the limited details in their adoption papers that often turn out to be inaccurate or falsified.
Møller's group last month initially filed applications from 51 Danish adoptees calling for the commission to investigate their adoptions, which were handled by Holt and KSS.
The move attracted intense attention from Korean adoptees from the world, prompting the group to expand its campaign to Holt and KSS adoptees outside of Denmark. The 232 applications additionally filed on Tuesday included 165 cases from Denmark, 36 cases from the United States and 31 cases combined from Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Germany.
The commission, which was set up in December 2020 to investigate human rights atrocities under military governments that ruled South Korea from the 1960s to 1980s, must decide in three or four months whether to open an investigation into the applications filed by adoptees. If it does, that could possibly trigger the most far-reaching inquiry into foreign adoptions in the country, which has never fully reconciled with the child export frenzy engineered by its past military leaders.
While the commission's deadline for applications comes in December, Møller said his group will try to persuade the commission to accept more adoptions from adoptees on a rolling basis if it decides to investigate the cases.
"There are many more adoptees that have written us, called us, been in contact with us. They are afraid to submit to this case because they fear that the adoption agencies will ... burn the original documents and retaliate," said Møller. He said such concerns are greater among adoptees who discovered that the agencies had switched their identities to replace other children who died, got too sick to travel or were re-taken by the Korean families before they could be sent to Western adopters.
Holt and KSS didn't immediately comment on the applications.
About 200,000 South Koreans were adopted overseas during the past six decades, mainly to white parents in the United States and Europe and mostly during the 1970s and 1980s.
South Korea's then-military leaders saw adoptions as a way to reduce the number of mouths to feed, solve the "problem" of unwed mothers and deepen ties with the democratic West.
They established special laws aimed at promoting foreign adoptions, which effectively allowed licensed private agencies to bypass proper child relinquishment practices as they exported huge numbers of children to the West year after year.
Most of the South Korean adoptees sent abroad were registered by agencies as legal orphans found abandoned on the streets, although they frequently had relatives who could be easily identified or found. That practice often make their roots difficult or impossible to trace.
Some adoptees say they discovered that the agencies had switched their identities to replace other children who died or got too sick to travel, which worsens their sense of loss and sometimes lead to false reunions with relatives who turn out to be strangers.
It wasn't until 2013 when South Korea's government required foreign adoptions to go through family courts, ending a policy of allowing agencies to dictate child relinquishments, transfer of custodies and emigration for decades.

McLaren were fined 100 million dollars (£49.2million) and stripped of their points in the constructors’ championship as a result of a Formula One spy scandal on this day in 2007.
However, the team’s drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, the reigning world champion, were cleared to continue in their battle for that year’s F1 crown.
The punishment, with what was an FIA record fine, was handed out by the World Motor Sport Council following the emergence of fresh evidence in the scandal.
McLaren were found guilty of fraudulent conduct at an initial hearing in July, namely being in possession of a confidential 780-page document belonging to Ferrari, but due to insufficient evidence, the team avoided any penalty on that occasion.
New evidence then surfaced, based around emails, and following a 10-hour meeting at the FIA headquarters in Paris, a statement read: “The WMSC have stripped Vodafone McLaren Mercedes of all constructor points in the 2007 FIA Formula One world championship and the team can score no points for the remainder of the season.
“Furthermore, the team will pay a fine equal to US100million, less the FOM (Formula One Management) income lost as a result of the points deduction.
“However, due to the exceptional circumstances in which the FIA gave the team’s drivers an immunity in return for providing evidence, there is no penalty in regard to drivers’ points.
“The WMSC will receive a full technical report on the 2008 McLaren car and will take a decision at the December 2007 meeting after what sanction, if any, will be imposed on the team for the 2008 season.”
After a conclusion to the season that saw Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen claim the drivers’ championship, McLaren on December 13 issued a public apology over their role in the saga and offered to put a freeze on developments that could be determined as deriving from the Ferrari information.
In February 2009, the matter drew to a close following an agreement made between the legal authorities in Italy and lawyers representing McLaren.
Charges against former McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan and three other senior employees of the team were dropped on a ‘nolo contendere’ (no contest) basis.
However, Coughlan had to pay 180,000 euros (£158,000) in exchange for not contesting charges of copyright infringement relating to Ferrari’s data.
Engineers Paddy Lowe, Jonathan Neale and Rob Taylor each had to pay 150,000 euros (£131,500).

Extra cautions are being taken by the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows School District due to the air quality advisory issued across the Fraser Valley.
The district advised that they are continuously monitoring the situation and are ready to take any necessary steps to ensure health learning environments for both student and staff.
Depending on the health index measure steps may include: closing exterior doors and windows while using filtered ventilation systems; postponing or reducing strenuous outdoor activities; and allowing students more sensitive to smoke to stay indoors during recess and lunch breaks. Or even having all students stay indoors during break times.
Metro Vancouver issued an air quality advisory on Saturday, Sept. 10 for the region because of the high concentrations of fine particulate matter in the air.
Wildfires burning southeast of Chilliwack and Hope, including two fires near Manning park, and one in the Flood Falls Trail area n Hope were producing the most smoke in the area.
The agency advised residents to reduce or postpone outdoor physical activity while concentrations remain high or if breathing feels uncomfortable.
READ MORE: Flood Falls Trail wildfire estimated at 520 hectares and growing
ALSO: Air-quality advisory continues due to wafting smoke across Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland
Fraser Health advised that poor air quality due to wildfires can greatly affect people with chronic conditions such as asthma, heart disease or diabetes, as well as pregnant women, infants, young children and the elderly and that medical attention should be sought immediately if someone is experiencing symptoms of shortness of breath, severe cough, dizziness, chest pain or heart palpitations due to smoky conditions.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis overviewed several major policy victories during a Sunday speech at the National Conservatism Conference in Miami, Florida, emphasizing his resistance to pressure from “elites” in the media and in the federal government.
DeSantis was the subject of frequent negative media coverage, as well as public pressure and scorn from federal health officials, over his decision to eschew lockdowns and other health guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic; he was similarly criticized for his more recent education and business-related policies, such as his efforts to restrict the teaching of gender ideology and “woke” workplace trainings. He explained his success in implementing the policies in an hour-long speech, arguing conservatives should reject the idea that private business should be left alone or that government cannot be used for conservative ends.
“We rejected the elites and we were right … not only were they wrong about [closing] schools, the elites were wrong about lockdowns, they were wrong about epidemiological models and hospitalization models, they were wrong about forced masking, they were wrong when they rejected the existence of natural immunity, they were wrong about the efficacy of the mRNA vaccines, and they were wrong when — and I said this — that COVID was seasonal, and now they admit it,” DeSantis said.
Under DeSantis’ leadership, Florida has more registered Republican than Democratic voters for the first time in its history despite the massive influx of residents from blue states like California and New York, DeSantis said. He attributed this to the state’s COVID-19 policies: rather than simply declining to impose governmental vaccine mandates, the DeSantis administration barred private businesses from implementing them.
The melding of corporate and government power under the auspices of ESG represents an attempt to impose policies on society through corporate power – policies that cannot win at the ballot box.
— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) August 19, 2022
In Florida, we will not allow policies to be subcontracted out to corporate elites. pic.twitter.com/t7BgFCzGHH
Throughout the speech, DeSantis rejected a popular conservative argument that private business should be generally left alone by the federal government, instead insisting that the government needs to protect individuals from abuse at the hands of corporate interests, including tech companies, large corporate employers which seek to impose vaccination mandates and racial trainings on workers, and businesses pushing a left-leaning agenda through investing standards.
He also criticized many on the right who defer to private businesses instinctively.
“Corporatism is not the same as free enterprise, and I think too many Republicans have viewed limited government to basically mean whatever is best for corporate America is how we want to do the economy,” he said.
“My view is, obviously free enterprise is the best economic system, but that is a means to an end. It’s a means to having a good and fulfilling life and a prosperous society. It’s not an end in and of itself,” DeSantis said. “The United States is a nation that has an economy, not the other way around, and our economy should be geared for helping our own people.”

"We are not worried about the meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency about Iran's nuclear program and its results," Mohammad Marandi told Aljazeera.
He also added that US President Joe Biden must decide on the remaining issues related to the negotiations in order to reach an agreement.
This is while the US Secretary of State, ignoring the destructive role of his country in the process of the nuclear agreement and sanctions-lifting negotiations, claimed that Iran's response to the European Union's proposals regarding nuclear negotiations was a step backward and it does not seem like that an agreement will be reached in the near future. But Mikhail Ulyanov who leads the Russian delegation at the Vienna talks says that there are no issues in the Iranian response to the EU coordinator that could be a serious obstacle on the way toward the agreement.
"Indeed, there are no issues in the Iranian response that could be a serious obstacle on the way towards the agreement. The conclusion of the #ViennaTalks depends exclusively on the political will of the participating states," wrote Ulyanov in a tweet on Monday.

Her ground-breaking short story collection, Ministry of Moral Panic, put her on the local cultural map as one to watch, followed up by a debut novel, Delayed Rays of A Star, which garnered an impressive list of accolades in the US: from an NPR Best Book of the Year to most anticipated novel by ELLE USA, The Los Angeles Times, Thrillist and USA Today. Back home, it was a Straits Times number-one bestseller and a Books Kinokuniya International Fiction number-one bestseller for eight weeks.
As a full-time author, Singapore-born Amanda is almost always toiling over a manuscript. “Writing a novel is a long, painful, solitary process that can take years. To stay sane along the way, it’s been fun to take on editorial commissions from brands that allow me to flex different parts of the writing muscle in a shorter form. This could be anything from a lyrical text for Tiffany & Co. exploring strength and independence, or a voiceover poem for Charles & Keith about the expansive freedom of friendship,” says the creator, who is based in both Singapore and New York.
What’s next from her? Amanda says she is working on a couple of creative projects across different narrative forms and genres, but cannot share too much just yet. “In the short term, however, I’m looking forward to being back in Singapore and gorging myself silly on all my favourite local food later in the year, when I’ll be giving a keynote lecture at the National Gallery.

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.

The Dutch government is said to be planning to apologize for its historic role in slave trade and set up a fund for projects that aim to raise awareness about the legacy of slavery.
The fund will be announced after the nation officially apologizes for its role in slavery by the end of this year or the beginning of next year, according to people familiar with the matter. It may be as big as 200 million euros ($204 million), the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The prime minister’s office declined to comment.
The decision is an unusual step in Europe, where former colonial powers have been under pressure to reckon with their role in the slave trade in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter movement. Although countries such as Germany and the UK have made payments for violently putting down rebellions in Namibia and Kenya respectively, the Netherlands would be among the first on the continent to set aside money as an apology for slavery.
Outside Europe, there has been more movement to address the economic legacy of slavery and imperialism in the form of reparations. Canada has agreed to a C$40 billion deal to compensate First Nation children for being separated from their families, while Australia and New Zealand have also agreed to pay millions to compensate Indigenous people for harm suffered from settlers. In the US in the meantime, legislation has been approved that would create a commission studying potential reparations for the descendants of slaves.
The Netherlands played a key role in trans-Atlantic slavery in Suriname, Brazil and the Caribbean, and in South Africa and Asia, where the Dutch East India Company operated. Last year, the mayor of Amsterdam formally apologized for the city’s part in slavery. State-run lender ABN Amro Bank NV and the Dutch Central Bank followed suit this year.
ABN said its predecessor Hope & Co. was actively involved in the day-to-day business of plantations. Another predecessor, Mees en Zoonen, brokered insurance for slave ships and shipments of goods harvested by enslaved people.
European Central Bank Governing Council member Klaas Knot, who is also president of the Dutch Central Bank, addressed his apology to the descendants of enslaved people and announced a fund to finance projects worth 5 million euros over the next 10 years in the Netherlands, Suriname and the Caribbean. The bank also said it will provide additional one-time funding of 5 million euros for a number of initiatives such as the National Research Center on the History of Slavery.
This week, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is visiting Suriname where he will discuss the history of slavery in the country. Rutte told reporters on Friday that “a significant moment is to be expected later this year” concerning the Dutch role in slavery.

CellCore Forms ESG Committee to Amplify Their Support to the Community
Idaho Health Company Announces Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Committee
As we continue to evolve as an industry leader, it’s the right move to focus additional resources on those areas that show us to be good stewards of the environment.”
MERIDIAN, ID, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CellCore Biosciences has implemented an Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Committee to better serve their community and company mission. The Idaho health company believes that actively doing its part to help out the community and the planet is an integral part of running a successful business. While the bottom line is important for a company, it isn’t everything. — Craig Randall, CellCore’s Culture Chief
The new cross-functional ESG Committee consists of 7 members from all different departments across the company. Being directly responsible for reducing waste, putting an emphasis on cybersecurity for customers and employees, and overall accountability for intentional change, the members are committed to ensure that CellCore is operating wisely and responsibly.
The committee is working on innovations in three main categories at CellCore: environmental, social, and team wellness.
Environmentally, 100% recyclable bubble mailers will be replacing CellCore’s cardboard shipping boxes. This will save over 60,000 boxes per year (nearly 15,000 pounds of cardboard).
On the social front, CellCore will magnify their partnership with local charitable causes and community organizations.
Team wellness is an important part of CellCore’s mission, as their first core value is ‘People First,’ which includes employees. CellCore is striving to improve both mental and physical wellness by offering monthly lunch-and-learn sessions, as well as providing a corporate gym partnership.
CellCore’s Culture Chief and ESG Committee Member, Craig Randall, shares, “As we continue to evolve as an industry leader, it’s the right move to focus additional resources on those areas that show us to be good stewards of the environment and a company that is constantly striving to take care of our team members in new ways.”
While CellCore may be new to having a formal ESG Committee, they have already made a large splash in the world of social responsibility. To see what CellCore has already accomplished within their local community, check out the company's press page.

Former James Bond star George Lazenby axed from tour after apologising for ‘homophobic’ comments
George Lazenby has been removed from a James Bond concert tour, after issuing an apology for comments he made during a recent on-stage interview in Australia over the weekend.
After participating in a performance titled The Music of James Bond on Saturday evening (10 September) at Perth Concert Hall, the 83-year-old Australian actor – who starred as the fictional British secret agent in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – sparked backlash for his remarks, which some audience members found offensive.
Posting an apology today (12 September) on Twitter, Lazenby wrote: “I am sorry and saddened to hear that my stories in Perth on Saturday might have offended some people.
“It was never my intention to make hurtful or homophobic comments and I am truly sorry if my stories that I have shared many times were taken that way.”
He said: “I only wish to share some stories and hopefully entertain some people. I personally have friends within my close circle who are gay and I would never wish to offend anyone.”
According to The Guardian, he apparently shared stories which included references to sexual conquests, poor language, and “homophobic” remarks about the LGBTQ+ community.
Lazenby has since been taken out of the last leg of the national concert tour, which was meant to be a tribute to the film franchise.

Theatre producer Concertworks also issued a statement saying they were “extremely saddened and disappointed” by the actor’s “language, comments and recollections” throughout the performance.
“These were his personal views and there is no excuse for this in today’s society. They do not reflect the views of Concertworks,” special counsel Aaron Kernaghan said.
“Concertworks has been in touch with people who have raised concern and it has issued an apology,” he said, adding that it has “chosen to discontinue its relationship with Mr Lazenby [and] commenced a thorough review of the matter”.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had dinner at the house of an autorickshaw driver in Ahmedabad on Monday night, hours after the local police stopped him from traveling citing security reasons. He was, however, allowed to visit the man along with a security cover. Kejriwal was in Gujarat on Monday to campaign for the upcoming Assembly elections.
Kejriwal had made a promise to the man to have dinner at his house, at a meeting of autorickshaw drivers
Vikram Dantani had requested Kejriwal to have dinner at his place. Accordingly, Kejriwal, accompanied by Gujarat AAP leaders Isudan Ghadvi, Gopal Italia, and Indranil Rajyaguru, went to Dantani's house to have dinner on Monday evening.

Autorickshaw drivers supported Kejriwal in his elections in the national capital.
