Years of dogged investigation and brave whistleblowers have yielded incontrovertible evidence of one of the worst human rights abuses of our time: the extralegal detention and imprisonment of at least hundreds of thousands of ethnic Uyghurs in China's western region of Xinjiang since 2017.
Much of this evidence is online, so anyone with a computer has immediate and detailed access to this work. The curious can peruse databases of stark satellite imagery of the many detention camps and prisons that have sprouted up across the region; view the heartbreaking headshots of those arbitrarily detained; or pore through the bureaucratic inanity of detention case files.
None of these massive reams of information, however, gives insight into the experience of what it must have been like to live through the slow buildup of decades of discrimination and cultural control that Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities underwent before China's latest crackdown in Xinjiang. Especially hard hit during each of China's "strike hard" policing in Xinjiang were young Uyghur men, and during the most draconian years of the detention campaign, they were conspicuously absent from Xinjiang's streets.
An amalgamation of the experiences of these young Uyghur men is the primary subject of The Backstreets, a short novel by acclaimed Uyghur writer Perhat Tursun and now translated into English by anthropologist Darren Byler and an anonymous partner.
The novel is told through the eyes of an unnamed Uyghur man who has been given a mildly coveted government job in the regional capital of Urumqi. The only problem is he has not been allotted housing, and his aimless and increasingly haphazard wanderings around Urumqi's misty backstreets in search of a place to sleep bring him into a string of bizarre encounters with his fellow Uyghur and Han Chinese (China's ethnic majority) citizens alike, punctuated by vivid flashbacks to his childhood with an alcoholic father.
He mills around, astonished that such a sprawling city has no room for just a bed for him.
"Just like the rat was skittering around the trash, I was always skittering around the city," he observes. This dehumanization contains the roots of China's crackdown on the Uyghurs, whose supposedly extremist tendencies must be "eradicated" like a virus and those deemed dangerous "become like rats scurrying across the street."
The narrator futilely asks for directions, but bystanders assume he is there to rob or assault them. One woman sees him approach through her apartment door, screams and runs away. In the office, he is treated with outright contempt by co-workers and is expected to perform his model minority identity by donating much of his small salary to charitable causes. In an American context, Tursun's descriptions of systemic racism might be easy to relate to, in part, by some.
One of the most chilling characters in Tursun's novel is the narrator's smiling Han Chinese manager, whose shining, pale face never loses its mask of politeness even as he denies the narrator the lodging non-Uyghurs would have received, or belittles his Mandarin Chinese. His visage is a potent symbol of the Chinese state's paternalistic attitude toward its Muslim ethnic minorities.
But worse than outright hostility is the indifference the city has for the narrator's existence. Loneliness and alienation are the themes that prevail throughout the book, and Tursun's inspiration from absurdist and existentialist writers like Albert Camus is apparent. "I don't know anyone in this strange city, so it's impossible for me to be friends or enemies with anyone," he repeats throughout the novel. His is a precarious existence Urumqi's many Uyghur migrant workers would have faced as well, especially after Xinjiang began imposing residence permit restrictions in 2014 leading up to the crackdown.
Uyghur culture is steeped in poetry and literature, yet very little of it has made it into translation across China, much less the rest of the world. Part of the problem is China has arrested or detained nearly all of the Uyghur intellectuals who might have written, translated or published these works for a broader audience.
Among those arrested is Tursun himself. In 2018, he was forcibly disappeared, and in 2020, Tursun was reportedly given a 16-year prison sentence. Byler, a leading scholar on Uyghur culture who has been vocal against the Chinese state's oppression, had the luck of meeting Tursun in 2016. Byler says he often discussed the novel's more complex passages with a Uyghur friend who was similarly enamored with Tursun's writing; that friendship blossomed into a translation collaboration that resulted in The Backstreets. Tragically, in an all-too-common twist of fate, Byler's co-translator was also detained, around 2017, for unknown reasons.
Reading this book is not a pleasant experience. Tursun's writing is extremely spare, and much of its depth might be missed without knowing the historical and political context of China's control over Xinjiang. Then there is the constant repetition of words, images and numbers. A reoccurring motif in The Backstreets is that of fog, which blankets a filthy Urumqi. Lost in this hellscape, the narrator slowly descends into madness, desperately grasping on to the numbing logic of numbers to make sense of a world that resents him for apparently no reason, before the novel suddenly ends in a Borges-like fashion. How I wish Tursun, or Byler's anonymous co-translator, were free to discuss this novel with us in person.

While West Virginia still leads the nation in overdose deaths, a glimmer of hope has emerged from the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics.
The CDC data shows that overdose deaths in West Virginia declined during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
From March 2021 to March 2022, West Virginia saw 1,485 overdose deaths, according to the CDC. That was a decrease of 3.6 percent from the 1,541 deaths for the year ending in March 2021.
Of course, this is still far too many lives lost in the Mountain State to an overdose death. And the fact that West Virginia still has the nation’s highest overdose death rate is simply tragic.
Still there is hope to be found in the latest data.
“West Virginia is starting to plateau and likely seeing a slight downward trend,” Dr. Matthew Christiansen, director of the Department of Health and Human Resources’ Office of Drug Control Policy, said last week. “We are encouraged by CDC’s data and will continue our efforts to end West Virginia’s substance use epidemic.”
Five other states also saw overdose deaths drop, the Associated Press reported. West Virginia’s percentage decrease was the second-highest among all states to Virginia’s 6.7 percent.
Last week, free Naxolone, which is used to help people suffering opioid overdoses, was distributed in all 55 of West Virginia’s counties as part of the third annual Save a Life Day.
Locally, Community Connections, Inc. oversaw the Naxolone distribution in Monroe, Raleigh, and Summers counties, and Southern Highlands Community Mental Health Center handled the distribution for McDowell, Mercer, and Wyoming counties. Various community prevention coalitions, faith-based groups and business leaders helped with that effort.
In southern West Virginia, first responders get many calls about overdose incidents. According to records at Community Connections, during the past 365 days, quick response teams that address overdoses have handled 921 overdose cases, non-repeating, in an area covering Mercer, McDowell, Summers, Monroe and Wyoming counties.
“It’s a very complicated situation,” Greg Puckett, executive director of Community Connections, said in a recent interview. “We have been working with the West Virginia Office of Drug Control Policy through a state opioid response grant to expand quick response teams to help deal with overdoses. In southern West Virginia, we have really been pushing the cooperative effort with our community mental health centers; and we have made a tremendous impact distributing Narcan and getting people access to quality care. Had we not been doing this over a long period of time, the death rate in comparison to the overdose rate would have been exponentially higher.”
Puckett says quick response teams in southern West Virginia have been expanded.
“Basically, within 72 hours, a licensed response expert goes to visit somebody who has been in a documented overdose,” he said. “This gives them an opportunity to get into an active treatment system. The team of professionals includes rescue squads, nonprofit mental health systems like Southern Highlands, and we have a network in southern West Virginia like very few places have across the country.”
While these local efforts have made an important difference, the crisis is still far from over.
Far too many lives have been lost and disrupted in our region and across the state as a result of overdose deaths stemming from the still horrific opioid epidemic.
It is a crisis that demands action on all fronts. Additional efforts must be made to save the lives of those in danger of an overdose death.

The 2022 primary season comes to a close Tuesday. While nominees in other states have hit the campaign trail gearing up for November, voters in Delaware, New Hampshire and Rhode Island will decide on their picks with fewer than two months to go until the general election.
Perhaps the most-watched state is New Hampshire, where the stakes are high in the five-way Republican Senate primary. The winner of that race will take on incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan in a race that's among a handful that could decide party control over the U.S. Senate.
New Hampshire Senate
Former President Donald Trump has, so far, stayed out of these races but has loomed large as candidates have fought to play up their fealty to him. The sprawling field includes Chuck Morse, who is the president of New Hampshire's state Senate, and Don Bolduc, a former Army general who has backed Trump's false claims about the 2020 election being stolen.
Bolduc has been dismissed as a "conspiracy theorist-type" by New Hampshire's Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, who is backing Morse. Morse also has the support of an outside group run by a former aide to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. It's spent $4 million to boost Morse and attack Bolduc, but Bolduc, who also ran for Senate in 2020, has campaigned doggedly, stoking conservative anger over COVID-19 lockdowns and promising to hold leaders in both parties accountable.
The field also includes Lincoln, N.H., businessman Vikram Mansharamani.
New Hampshire congressional primaries
New Hampshire's 1st congressional District — which includes Manchester, the state's seacoast and vote-rich commuter towns along the Massachusetts border — is seen as a true swing district. There are five Republicans fighting to take on two-term incumbent Democrat Chris Pappas. Prime among them is Matt Mowers, a former Trump administration state department staffer, who got his political start in New Jersey as an aide to then-Gov. Chris Christie.
Mowers was the GOP's 2020 nominee for the seat, losing to Pappas by five points. Mowers, 33, entered this race as the frontrunner and has been endorsed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, but Mowers' victory is far from assured. Karoline Leavitt — a 25-year-old former Trump administration assistant press secretary who has derided Mowers as the establishment's "handpicked puppet" — has gained ground in polling.
The race for New Hampshire's 2nd District, which runs along the border with Vermont and tilts more liberal, features Bob Burns, a serial candidate well-known in GOP activist circles. Burns bills himself as "pro-life, pro-Trump, America first." He faces George Hansel, the Republican mayor of the liberal city of Keene, N.H. Hansel supports some abortion rights and has the support of Gov. Sununu. Hansel has accused Burns of repeatedly lying about his record but has tacked right over the course of this race. The winner of that primary faces five-term incumbent Democrat Annie Kuster, a prolific fundraiser.
Rhode Island governor
Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee remains the favorite in a five-way Democratic primary, although two rivals — Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea and former CVS Health executive Helena Buonanno Foulkes — could pull off an upset.
In March 2021, McKee, then the lieutenant governor, moved up to governor when Gina Raimondo left office to become the U.S. Commerce secretary. McKee touts his leadership in guiding Rhode Island through the pandemic since then.
Gorbea and Foulkes did not rush to criticize McKee's record. When they did, they targeted a potential soccer stadium in Pawtucket with $60 million in public investment and an ongoing FBI probe of an educational consulting contract awarded by McKee's administration. The winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican businesswoman Ashley Kalus, a Rhode Island newcomer. Republicans held the governor's office from 2003 until 2011, but have been locked out since then.
New Hampshire governor
Three-term incumbent Chris Sununu, the most successful Republican in the Granite State in a generation, is almost certain to win the primary for governor. He faces three challengers, all staunch conservatives who are taking particular aim at the Sununu's handling of COVID-19.
New Hampshire was less restrictive in terms of pandemic policies than any of its New England neighbors, but conservative activists were still galvanized by school closures, business closings and mask mandates.
If Sununu wins tomorrow, he'll face Democratic challenger Dr. Tom Sherman, who now serves in the state Senate.
Josh Rogers is the senior political editor and reporter for New Hampshire Public Radio. Ian Donnis is a political reporter for The Public's Radio in Rhode Island.

Wales has by far the lowest Covid case rate of any nation in the UK, latest figures have revealed. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) infection survey for the week ending August 28 shows that the estimated number of people testing positive for Covid was 31,500, equating to 1.04% of the population or around one in 95 people.
That is a fall on the 47,300 (1.56%%), or around one in 65 people, recorded in Wales for the week ending August 23. The rate of positive cases appears to be highest in the region covering Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, although differences between the regions are described as "small". The region covering Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil has lower rates of positivity.
Across the UK Covid-19 infections have dropped to their lowest level for nearly 11 months, but not all parts of the country are showing a clear downward trend. The ONS said total of 944,700 people in private households are estimated to have had coronavirus in the week to August 28. This is the first time the figure has fallen below a million since the beginning of June. It is also the lowest UK-wide total since the week to October 2, 2021, when the number stood at 942,600.

UK infections hit 3.8 million in early July this year during the spread of the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the virus, but have been on a broadly downward path in recent weeks.
In England, the percentage of people testing positive for coronavirus in the week to August 28 was 770,800, or around one in 70 - down from 893,300, or one in 60, in the seven days to August 23. In Scotland, 104,400 people were likely to have tested positive for Covid-19 in the latest week, the equivalent of about one in 50. This compares with 96,000, or one in 55, in the previous survey. And in Northern Ireland, the latest estimate is 38,000, or one in 50 people, compared with 35,800, which was also one in 50.
The ONS figures were originally scheduled for September 9 but were postponed due to the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Meanwhile the number of people in hospital with Covid is also decreasing in Wales. On September 6, of the 244 in acute hospitals with Covid, just 14 (6%) were people being activity treated for for the virus. Nine coronavirus patients in Wales were in invasive ventilated beds in intensive care on September 6 – five of whom were in Cardiff and Vale UHB, three were in Hywel Dda UHB, and one was in Swansea Bay UHB.
Eligible adults in Wales are being invited for an autumn Covid booster vaccine. The rollout began at the start of September to improve the immunity of those at higher risk from the virus. A single dose of the vaccine is being offered to:
- Residents in care homes for older adults
- Staff in care homes for older adults
- Frontline health and social care workers
- All adults aged 50 years and over
- People aged five to 49 years in a clinical risk group
- People aged five to 49 years who are household contacts of people with immunosuppression
- People aged 16-49 who are carers.
In line with advice from the UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation eligible adults aged 18 and above will initially be offered the Moderna vaccine which protects from both the original Covid virus and the Omicron variant. Those eligible aged under 18 will be offered the Pfizer vaccine. Both vaccines will be offered at least three months after a previous dose. Adults will mostly be invited via letter to attend a vaccination centre, GP, or pharmacy for their jab.

Stitch Fix, Inc. NEWS - SFIX NEWS
CLASS ACTION CASE DETAILS: According to the filed complaint, Stitch Fix made numerous false and misleading statements to investors concerning the synergy between the Company's Fix and Freestyle programs, and repeatedly denied claims that the Freestyle program could cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business. Specifically, Stitch Fix repeatedly assured investors that the Company's Freestyle business was "an additive experience" and "complementary" to the Fix business, that "the combination of those two things will allow us to address many more types of clients," and that "we see solid growth in both sides of the business." In truth, Stitch Fix concealed that these programs were not complementary or additive. Stitch Fix knew that the Freestyle program would be much preferred to the Company's original Fix model and that the Freestyle program would inevitably cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AS A SHAREHOLDER: If you have suffered a loss in Stitch Fix you have until October 25, 2022 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
NO COST TO YOU: If you purchased Stitch Fix securities during the relevant period, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket fees.
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FINANCIAL INTERESTS: For additional information about the SFIX lawsuit, please contact J. Klein, Esq. by telephone at 212-616-4899 or click this link: https://www.kleinstocklaw.com/pslra-1/stitch-fix-loss-submission-form?id=31577&from=4.

If you were considering buying one of the best Apple Watches for anyone on a budget - the Apple Watch SE - your decision just got a little trickier. With the Apple Watch SE 2 newly announced, you might wonder what the differences are.
That's where we're here to help. We've pitted the two Apple Watches against each other to see if tracking down the original Apple Watch SE will suffice for many or if you need to get the latest SE version out there.
Don't forget, if you want more oomph, one of the best smartwatches may be a better match.
Apple Watch SE 2 vs Apple Watch SE: price and availability
The Apple Watch SE launched in 2020 and cost $279/£269/AU$429 for the 40mm and $309/£299/AU$479 for the 44mm GPS-only versions. The cellular model started from $329/£319/AU$499.
None of these models are currently available from Apple direct anymore with the Apple Watch SE 2 where Apple's focus is. If you want to buy the original Apple Watch SE, you'll need to go to a third-party retailer, but discounts will likely be in full force.
The Apple Watch SE 2 starts at $249/£259/AU$399 for the GPS model and $299/£299/AU$479 for the cellular model. Even at launch, it's cheaper than the Apple Watch SE.
As with all Apple Watches, prices will vary depending on the watch strap you choose and case options.
Winner: Despite being newer, the Apple Watch SE 2 is the cheaper option unless you can find the Apple Watch SE at a discounted price.
Apple Watch SE 2 vs Apple Watch SE: design
Design-wise, there's almost nothing between the Apple Watch SE 2 and Apple Watch SE. They look identical and have the same screen. There were rumors the Apple Watch SE 2 might offer an always-on display, but these haven't come to fruition.
Both watches have a 40mm or 44mm screen with a 324 x 394 resolution for the 40mm model or 368 x 448 for the 44mm version. The OLED panel on both at least means it looks crisper than a standard display.
As with all Apple Watches, the rectangular screen has the Digital Crown on one side accompanied by the power/app button.
The only real improvement for the Apple Watch SE 2 is that it comes in different colors with the choice of Midnight, Silver, or Starlight, while the original is left with Silver, Black, or Gold.
Winner: The Apple Watch SE 2 has better color options, but otherwise, there's no difference.
Apple Watch SE 2 vs Apple Watch SE: features and performance
The original Apple Watch SE has the same processor and chipset as the Apple Watch Series 6, so it's looking a little dated. While it won't make a huge difference in daily performance, the Apple Watch SE 2 has the latest S8 SiP processor you also see in the Apple Watch 8, so it has the edge. Apple believes it will be 20% faster than its predecessor.
Both watches will run WatchOS 9, but we wouldn't be surprised if the Apple Watch SE 2 does so noticeably faster. Thanks to WatchOS 9, both watches will benefit from the new low-power battery mode. Apple hasn't released figures on how improved the battery will be when using this mode, but the Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to double from an 'all-day' life of 18 hours to 36. This could be the case for the SE range, too, providing you don't mind cutting back on some features.
And, of course, both watches will continue to offer standard fitness and workout tracking functionality, notification support, and Apple's Activity Rings system is a great motivator.
One new feature of the Apple Watch SE 2 is its automatic car crash detection. In a continuing trend for Apple's new releases this year, the Apple Watch SE 2 can automatically connect to emergency services and notify your emergency contacts if you're in a serious car accident.
Winner: The Apple Watch SE 2 should run faster, and it could help you if the worst happens while driving.
Apple Watch SE 2 vs Apple Watch SE: sensors
Both watches offer high and low heart rate notifications and a heads-up if your heart rhythm is irregular. However, there's still no sign of an ECG app for the Apple Watch SE 2.
Both watches can track your menstrual cycle, but they won't be as accurate as the Apple Watch 8's with its temperature sensor. There's also fall detection for both devices, but only the Apple Watch SE 2 has car crash detection.
Winner: Outside of a hopefully rare car crash, both watches have the same amount of genuinely useful sensors.
Apple Watch SE 2 vs Apple Watch SE: interface and user experience
Both Apple Watch SE 2 and Apple Watch SE support WatchOS 9, so you'll enjoy a very similar experience whatever you go for.
WatchOS is a reasonably intuitive system these days and providing you have an iPhone to pair your watch with; it'll take seconds to get started.
As previously mentioned, the only real difference will likely be how responsive WatchOS is as the Apple Watch SE 2 has a faster processor.
Winner: The Apple Watch SE 2 will offer a faster user experience, but it will still be the same interface.
Apple Watch SE 2 vs Apple Watch SE: verdict
The Apple Watch SE 2 is the more powerful of the two watches, thanks to its newer and faster processor. It also has car crash detection, one of those features you hope you'll never need, but if you do, it could be a lifesaver.
However, the differences between the two watches are more subtle than you might expect. If you don't mind a slightly slower experience, finding the Apple Watch SE at a low price could work out better for many people.
It mostly comes down to if it's essential for you to own the latest tech or if you're willing to compromise for a sharp discount.

Hillman Solutions (NASDAQ:HLMN) Might Have The Makings Of A Multi-Bagger
If you're not sure where to start when looking for the next multi-bagger, there are a few key trends you should keep an eye out for. In a perfect world, we'd like to see a company investing more capital into its business and ideally the returns earned from that capital are also increasing. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. With that in mind, we've noticed some promising trends at Hillman Solutions (NASDAQ:HLMN) so let's look a bit deeper.
Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What Is It?
For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Hillman Solutions is:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.029 = US$68m ÷ (US$2.6b - US$283m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2022).
Therefore, Hillman Solutions has an ROCE of 2.9%. In absolute terms, that's a low return and it also under-performs the Machinery industry average of 10%.
Above you can see how the current ROCE for Hillman Solutions compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you'd like, you can check out the forecasts from the analysts covering Hillman Solutions here for free.
What Can We Tell From Hillman Solutions' ROCE Trend?
While there are companies with higher returns on capital out there, we still find the trend at Hillman Solutions promising. More specifically, while the company has kept capital employed relatively flat over the last three years, the ROCE has climbed 145% in that same time. Basically the business is generating higher returns from the same amount of capital and that is proof that there are improvements in the company's efficiencies. On that front, things are looking good so it's worth exploring what management has said about growth plans going forward.
What We Can Learn From Hillman Solutions' ROCE
To sum it up, Hillman Solutions is collecting higher returns from the same amount of capital, and that's impressive. Astute investors may have an opportunity here because the stock has declined 30% in the last year. With that in mind, we believe the promising trends warrant this stock for further investigation.
On a final note, we've found 2 warning signs for Hillman Solutions that we think you should be aware of.
While Hillman Solutions isn't earning the highest return, check out this free list of companies that are earning high returns on equity with solid balance sheets.

BOSTON (AP) — Nonbinary athletes will be able to run in next year’s Boston Marathon without having to register as members of the men’s or women’s divisions, race organizers announced Monday.
The Boston Athletic Association, which administers the prestigious marathon, said it’s been working to expand opportunities for nonbinary people — not just for the marathon but for the BAA’s other races, which include a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon.
Organizers confirmed the change as registration opened Monday for the 127th running of the marathon on April 17, 2023. A field of about 30,000 is expected for next spring’s edition of the storied race.
Nonbinary athletes can submit entry applications if they’ve completed a marathon as a nonbinary participant during the current qualifying window, the BAA said. It said it’s still working to establish qualifying standards for nonbinary participants, but that its online applications will include “nonbinary” as a gender option.
“Discussions are ongoing with nonbinary athletes in an effort to further promote inclusion at all BAA events,” the organization said, adding, “We view this first year as an opportunity to learn and grow together.”
The Boston Marathon is the latest major marathon to begin adding nonbinary divisions.
Last year’s Philadelphia Distance Run, a premier event offering a half marathon and a 5K, became the first large race in the U.S. to establish a nonbinary division and offer equal prize money.
The Brooklyn Marathon and Half Marathon followed in April. Eighty-two competitors who had registered as nonbinary participants were among the finishers.

Expert's Rating
Pros
- Clean, well-balanced audio
- Good active noise-cancelling
- Highly customizable controls
- Excellent value for the price
Cons
- Fiddly controls
- Capable of two simultaneously connected devices, but better with only one
- Occasional call drop when switching to these buds
Our Verdict
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has its quirks, but if you can overlook them, you’ll get great audio and good active noise-canceling for considerably less than top-tier rivals.
Price When Reviewed
$169.99
Best Prices Today: Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
Top-shelf earbuds come with top-shelf pricing—and sometimes you just can’t spend that much. But even at nearly half the price of more expensive rivals, Anker’s Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro doesn’t feel like a step down. At least, not when it comes to sound quality. In fact its audio chops are so strong that even with its foibles, these buds are a compelling contender.
Note: This review is part of our best wireless earbuds roundup. Go there is to learn more about competing products, what to look for in wireless earbuds, and buying recommendations.

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro: Design, fit, and controls
Alaina Yee / IDG
With a sleek oval shape and glossy finish, the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro offers an understated, compact profile that comes in four colors (black, white, light purple, and blue-gray) and looks great out of the box. Its carrying case also has a streamlined shape and finish, though the layout for dropping in the buds can feel counterintuitive. Other brands are more straightforward.
The earbuds have a highly customizable fit—not only do you get four ear tip sizes, but four wing sizes as well. (The latter ensure a more secure fit of the buds in your outer ear.) These accessories mix and match easily, though getting the wings on and off can be fiddly. My combination ended up being the second-smallest ear tips and wings; normally I’m a medium for ear tips with most brands.
Configuring the touch-based controls is also very flexible. You can assign commands for music playback, skipping tracks, and more to single, double, and triple taps, as well as a two-second press. Consistency of the controls is a little less impressive, though—commands don’t always execute even when the tap(s) are recognized. The Liberty 3 Pro is also extremely sensitive to single taps. For some people, this weakness will be a deal killer, though you can largely avoid them via controls in Windows or on your phone.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro: Sound
These buds perform incredibly well for their price. You get very clear, well-balanced audio for music, movies, and calls. Details are clear and defined, with just the right amount of crispness. For balance, the bass adds warmth and depth without being too heavy or overpowering. The default sound profile isn’t as neutral as other buds, but I liked the fullness you get out of the box. And you can still adjust to your taste in the app via a custom EQ profile, or Anker’s HearID feature, which creates a personalized sound profile based on hearing tests. (Your mileage will vary with HearID—I found myself preferring the default profile, but I’ve also yet to find a form of this technology that works for me.)
For calls, the Liberty 3 Pro were on par with quality buds. Other call participants will know you’re using earbuds (the sound is a bit thin and picks up some room echo), but you’ll still sound clear, if slightly on the quieter side compared to rivals.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro: Noise canceling and volume
Alaina Yee / IDG
In indoor situations, the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro’s active noise-canceling blocks a palpable amount of background noise. With music playing, most moderately loud chatter or TV programs will get drowned out. When outdoors, the Liberty 3 Pro didn’t block as much road noise as rival buds with stronger ANC—the cacophony of a busy San Francisco street during commute hour was reduced by a rough 40 percent.
The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also doesn’t get as loud as other buds. In Windows, Android, and iOS, I generally had to keep these in the 40 to 60 percent range, and about 50 percent on average. More premium buds were usually closer to the mid-30s to 40s depending on time of day. (For context, I have more sensitive ears and prefer lower volumes.) And as already mentioned, the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also sounds quiet when using it as a microphone for calls.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro: Battery life
Anker estimates up to eight hours of battery life for the Liberty 3 Pro from a single charge, depending on volume level. At roughly 45 to 50 percent volume on either PC or mobile, the buds lasted between 5.5 to 6 hours for continuous music and video playback.
You’ll get another two to three full charges from the case, for a maximum total of 32 hours by Anker’s count. In the real world, I got closer to 24, which was still plenty before having to charge the whole set again.
One foible I personally found exasperating: Dropping the earbuds into the case always was opposite of what I expected. It took at least a couple of weeks of regular use before my brain could get the orientation correct on the first try.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro: Pairing and app
Alaina Yee / IDG
You can connect the Liberty 3 Pro to up to two devices at once, though only one can play at a time. If the buds are paired with more devices, you must first disconnect an active device before switching to a different one. (The easiest way to do this is through the Soundcore+ app.)
Anker’s implementation of this feature has a downside, unfortunately—being connected to two devices simultaneously (in my testing, a PC and an iPhone) sometimes introduced hiccups in music or other continuous sound if the second device had incoming audio. You’ll have a smoother experience with only one device connected at a time.
Another quirk related to connection: Occasionally when in the middle of a phone call on an Android phone, pulling the Liberty 3 Pro buds out of their case would disconnect the call I was on, rather than rolling over to the earbuds.
To tweak your earbuds and get the most from them, you must use the companion Soundcore app—it’s the only way to customize controls and EQ settings, as well as turn off features like wear detection, which automatically pauses audio if you take a bud out of your ear. Navigating through the interface is simple and straightforward.
Final thoughts
You’ll pay $100 less for the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro than top-tier rivals like the Sony WF-1000XM4 and the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, but the Liberty 3 Pro doesn’t sound cheaper. If you can tolerate the quirks of these buds, they’re ideal for people seeking great audio and good active noise-canceling on a budget.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Public Schools said late Monday it had reached a tentative agreement with the union for teachers who went on strike last week over issues like pay and classroom support.
Earlier Monday the district had cancelled classes Tuesday, the fifth school day that students have missed since the strike began began Sept. 7. That was supposed to be the first day for approximately 49,000 students in the district.
In a statement, the district said it would on Tuesday announce an update on when classes would begin.
“We look forward to welcoming students and staff for the 2022-23 school year,” the statement said.
Details about the agreement weren’t immediately available.
Striking teachers said their main concern was educational and emotional help for students, especially those with special needs or learning difficulties.
In a statement the union, the Seattle Education Association, said: “We should all be proud of what we accomplished and what we stood up for: student supports and respect for educators.”
Meeka DiLorenzo has a son at a Seattle high school and supports teachers who walked out, but she worries about the toll on students whose first day has been delayed.
DiLorenzo’s 15-year-old son is a sophomore at Ingraham High School in Seattle. She was disappointed at the proposals put forward by district.
“Maybe it’s because of COVID — parents have a newfound appreciation for what teachers go through,” said DiLorenzo, who is a cellist in the Seattle Symphony.
Because her son is old enough to stay home alone, DiLorenzo hasn’t had to scramble for childcare like parents of younger kids. Both she and her son have at times joined teachers to walk the picket lines.
“I would like to see the district listen to educators about what they need in the classroom — I would like to see mental health supports in place, in the form of counselors, social workers, nurses,” she said.
Problems the schools were dealing with before the COVID pandemic became exacerbated when students returned after pandemic-related closures last year, she said. Her son noticed the difference on the first day of school in the fall of 2021.
“It was a lot of instability and chaos,” she said.
This year, he’s not really looking forward to going back to school, but DiLorenzo is worried about the implications of delaying the opening of schools.
“For me, the mental health implications of keeping schools closed have a specific impact for teenagers,” she said.
In Seattle, the school district had offered pay raises of an additional 1% above the 5.5% cost-of-living increase set by state lawmakers — far less than the union says it wanted — plus one-time bonuses for certain teachers, including $2,000 for third-year Seattle teachers earning an English language or dual-language endorsement.
Teachers in the city have seen healthy raises since their last strike in 2015, with many making more than $100,000, thanks largely to a new state education funding model. The union has said it is primarily focused on winning raises for its lower-paid members, including instructional assistants and front office staff. Paraeducators in Seattle Public Schools start at $19 an hour — nowhere near enough to afford to live in the city, many say.
The union says it was opposing the district’s efforts to eliminate staffing ratios for special education students.
One issue for Seattle Public Schools is declining enrollment. Projections show Washington state’s largest school district losing several thousands students over the next few years, which officials say translates into significant budget deficits.
Districts around the country have faced labor challenges as the pandemic put extraordinary stress on teachers and students.
Teachers in Minneapolis, Chicago and Sacramento walked out earlier this year before securing new agreements.
Heather Larson lives in Snoqualmie, Washington, but her 16-year-old child attends Interagency High School in the Seattle district because it is the only one in the region for minors that are in recovery from addition.
“Getting them back to school is crucial,” Larson said about her child. “One of the harder things for kids with substance abuse disorders is the need to keep it consistent.”
She’s got a flexible job, where she can work from home some days, but on other days her child has had to go to work with her and sit in her office.
“I’m all for the teachers fighting for what they need,” Larson said.

Fixing things around the house requires the right tool for the job — and often that’s just a tube of super glue. Whether it’s chipped plastic on a piece of decor or a broken toy, these are the items you hate to throw out but also aren’t really worth taking to a repair shop.
Well, there’s a handy little gadget listed on Amazon for less than $10 right now that can replace all those dried-up tubes of super glue you’ve got sitting in drawers around the house.
The device creates a permanent, waterproof bond once the special glue-like substance it uses is exposed to ultraviolet light. It then dries clear and can be sanded and painted.
Technically, Bondic is not a true glue. Unlike super glue, Bondic glue doesn’t contain solvents so it won’t dry out. It’s a type of plastic welding that doesn’t melt into the joint like metal welding. It won’t stick to non-porous materials, rather it forms a bond around the plastic.
Bondic LED UV Liquid Plastic Welder ($10)
The brand behind this unique tool claims you can use it to bond, build, fix and fill all types of materials, including plastic, PVC, steel, rubber, wood, ceramic, wires, vinyl and leather. The company claims Bondic glue can mend everything from broken joysticks to frayed metal cables to leaky hoses to copper pipes.
Bondic glue works best on rough surfaces and undercuts, and you’ll need to be sure the surface is clean and free of grease before applying. Also try to apply it in layers if possible for the best hold. Then, be sure to use the included UV light to cure the Bondic.
Several reviewers at Amazon have mentioned you must build layers and wave the light for a minimum of 5 seconds for each area and that veering from the manufacturer’s instructions only sets you up for failure.
Reviewer Brad used it to repair a cracked automotive taillight lens, someone else used it to repair a broken piece on their printer and yet another person used it to repair their broken glasses. The latter said they wished they’d bought the Bondic gadget sooner and is now looking for more things to use it on.
With an overall rating of 4 stars out of 5, there are definitely some softer reviews in the collection (about one in 10 raters have given it a 1-star bomb), but the thousands of positive grades far outweigh the negative ones. At less than $10, it seems like a decent gamble for the potential gains around your house.

College students will gain tangible credentials across business subjects and earn as they learn
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saxbys, a Certified B Corporation and National Education Company, is expanding its reach by debuting Experiential Learning Badges to augment The Saxbys Experiential Learning Platform (E.L.P.), providing all student cafe leadership the opportunity to broaden their education and skills through tangible, professional credentials.
The Saxbys E.L.P. partners with 14 leading higher education institutions to offer full academic credit and wages to a Student Cafe Executive Officer (Student C.E.O.) who has full autonomy of their on-campus cafe for six months. With the launch of the Badge program, Saxbys is quadrupling the reach of its E.L.P. curriculum, serving not only Student C.E.O.s, but all part-time student cafe leadership.
Learners can engage with a range of business disciplines that are not tied to any specific major, giving them the chance to explore different interests and bolster their resume experience.
The Experiential Learning Badges will debut with three curricula: Supply Chain Management, Talent Acquisition, and Training & Development. Each teaches broad disciplines before offering hands-on experience within Saxbys' student-run cafes.
This program blends the rigor of the academic approach and the application of corporate training with an important twist. The entire program is designed for students balancing college with work – not only are the Badges free, Saxbys is paying team members who participate, giving them the unique opportunity to 'earn as they learn.'
"We made the intentional decision to pay our learners as a signifier of just how much we value and believe in their education," said Dr. Liz Langemak, Director of Academic Platforms at Saxbys. "This investment from Saxbys lowers the barriers to achieving knowledge across subjects, propelling our team members into impactful careers."
Becoming badged and certified offers pathways to promotions and raises at Saxbys, and grants learners meaningful credentials that they can add to their resumes and LinkedIn profiles.
"We know that our higher education partners and students alike are hungry for skills that differentiate them and set them up for success as they launch their careers," said Nick Bayer, Founder & CEO of Saxbys. "Our Experiential Learning Badges will allow students to supplement their education – at no cost – serving as an investment in their future that will pay dividends."

Apple’s US customers may never use a physical SIM again, following the launch of the firm’s iPhone 14.
Although it will be shipped with a traditional SIM slot elsewhere, the American consumer version will only support eSIMs.
For the end user, eSIMs function in a similar way to traditional SIMs — just without a physical, removable card.
Instead, they’re supplied remotely, meaning you don’t need to go into a store or wait for a card to arrive in the post.
For many people, switching to eSIM won’t be all that difficult, with the main US carriers already offering support for the products. Apple itself has included software to help customers register eSIMs relatively simply.
But the process is far from uniform across the board. Even for big networks, switching over to an eSIM can still be a cumbersome process, which may put off users who prefer just slotting in a physical card.
If you’re willing to to the admin, eSIMs can offer flexibility for people who want to switch providers on a regular basis.
The iPhone 14 will offer support for two active eSIMs, as well as the ability to save several extras for future use.
For now, it may be harder to quickly switch to a local provider when travelling abroad, as it won’t simply be a case of popping in a new SIM card at the airport.
But assuming overseas carriers also improve their eSIM offerings, it could make ultimately the process quicker.
Uswitch.com mobiles expert Ru Bhikha told Metro.co.uk: ‘The move will make it easier for users to switch networks, which should help increase competition and encourage more small providers and SIM-only offers.
‘It could even help avoid painful data roaming charges if you can quickly switch to local SIMs while travelling abroad.’
US tech websites say Apple’s move could signal the end of physical SIM cards in the country, in much the same way that some Android manufacturers dropped headphone jacks from high-end models after they disappeared from the iPhone 7.
But six years later, plenty of brands do still offer Android handsets with a 3.5mm jack.
Bhikha said the ‘unexpected’ move to drop physical SIMs in a major market was ‘a heavyweight endorsement from Apple.’
It’s not yet clear how long it will take for Apple to replicate its US move elsewhere — nor whether any Android manufacturers will follow suit any time soon.
As the iPhone 14 will still be shipped with a physical SIM slot in the UK, customers on this side of the Atlantic won’t be affected by the move for now.
Like many Android handsets, the iPhone sold here will offer both eSIM and physical SIM support.
But if you want to stick with the brand long term, it might be worth reading up on eSIMs if you aren’t already using one.
Bhika said: ‘This could potentially be to be the last Apple flagship to have [a nano slot], if the distinctive SIM drawer goes the way of the headphone jack.
‘While many mobile users still miss the jack, the advantages of eSIMs, which are easily activated and can store multiple profiles, should mean physical cards — and their fiddliness — won’t live as long, or fondly, in the memory.”

Stepping from private jets and petrol-chugging cars; pictured draped across sun loungers in an array of bikinis (no two rarely the same), and laughing on yachts surrounded by crystal clear waters – Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s Instagram account is very different to mine.
So you can hardly blame me for being surprised and utterly disgusted that Boohoo chose her as its new sustainability ambassador.
Having a Kardashian as the face of sustainability is greenwashing at its finest. It’s the height of hypocrisy.
Greenwashing is essentially when brands pull PR stunts to convince buyers that its methods are ‘planet-friendly,’ though they’ve made very little genuine change, or efforts to be sustainable.
So, for Boohoo to make a woman like Kardashian Barker – who has done next to nothing of significance that has had a positive impact on the environment – a sustainability ambassador, is genuinely disgraceful.
We take the environment seriously in my flat. Well, as serious as a 30-ish-year-old married couple living in London can.
My husband and I don’t eat meat, or drink milk. We don’t drive, opting for cycling or public transport; we haven’t been abroad this year, and skip those plastic bags in supermarkets when buying fruit and veg – buying them loose instead.
We reuse cling film and foil; recycle everything (including receipts), compost, extensively research palm oil in products, and I’ve even been known to not flush after I pee in my flat to save water (I close the lid though, which is more than I can say for a lot of men).
We only buy new clothes as a last resort – buying secondhand if we can, or from a ‘reputable’ manufacturer with environmental claims that stand up. I’ve not shopped at Amazon or ASOS in years, and I’ve proudly never shopped at Shein, Pretty Little Thing, Missguided, or Boohoo.
In contrast, Kourtney Kardashian Barker is pictured in a new outfit or swimsuit constantly in a lavish, remote location across the globe on her Instagram. Places we could only dream of seeing.
She’s regularly clocked frolicking on one of her super-rich family’s luxury private jets – Kim’s is worth $150million (£129million), reportedly costing her $400,000 in fuel, while her sister Kylie makes nine-minute journeys in her $72million (£62million) jet.
But it’s OK, everyone: Kourtney flew commercial with her family last month and shared a post about the world’s rising C02 rates to her Instagram stories earlier this year, with the words: ‘Time to get our sh*t together’. Though her sister Kim’s private jet usage emits 609.8 times more carbon dioxide than the average person in one year, somehow, this warrants Kourtney to be the face of sustainability at Boohoo.
It stinks of privilege.
In 2019, Boohoo was named by the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) one of the UK’s least sustainable fashion brands – this was due to the company apparently not doing enough to reduce its carbon footprint.
The following year, ethical brand ratings site and app Good On You rated Boohoo ‘Not Good Enough’ thanks to it not using eco-friendly materials, with ‘no evidence’ that it’s taking ‘meaningful action’ to reduce its usage of hazardous chemicals – or water.
The ultra fast fashion brand, reported by Vice in 2020 to have uploaded nearly 800 unique items of clothing per week, undoubtedly adds to the 1.2billion tonnes of CO2 the textile industry each year – more than international aviation and shipping combined.
Shockingly, clothes collection company Clothes Aid estimated that 30% of our unwanted clothing goes to landfill – worth £140million – after an average of five weeks’ usage, with 35% of microplastics found in the ocean comes direct from synthetic clothing, too.
Boohoo has come under fire multiple times for over staffing issues, too. In 2020, an undercover reporter alleged its workers in Leicester were paid as little as £3.50 an hour – which is almost half the national minimum age for people over 18, despite the fact the brand was estimated to be worth £3.5billion last year.
According to garment workers’ rights group Labour Behind the Label, staff apparently worked through lockdown, with claims of Boohoo suppliers operating without social-distancing measures inside factories, while the brand’s boss Mahmud Kamani, whose company denied any wrong doing, was reportedly set to get a £50million bonus last year (if specific conditions were met).
On the back of these allegations, Boohoo faced a possible US import ban last year because campaign group Liberty Shared claimed it wasn’t doing enough to stop forced labour in its factories. The brand pleaded ignorance, saying it was ‘not aware’ of such investigations.
Enter Kourtney Kardashian. Boohoo shelled out for a well-known face and socially-acceptable body, of which she is reportedly worth $65million, to be part of a trendy, topical campaign about sustainability.
I’m hardly surprised though, brands like Boohoo are renowned for shelling out on ‘hot’ names of the moment to steer marketing campaigns, including previous Love Island contestants Maura Higgins, India Reynolds, Kaz Crossley, Alexandra Cane and Kendall Knight for its women’s range, and Josh Denzel and Wes Nelson for BoohooMAN.
Let’s not forget about Molly-Mae Hague being awarded the top job of Creative Director at PrettyLittleThing for… being a runner-up in Love Island. Or the countless modelling contracts and clothing lines influencers fresh from the Love Island villa manage to bag with other online fashion brands, armed simply with pretty, wrinkle-free faces and pockets full of followers.
On her first collection launching today, Kourtney stated that she was ‘concerned about the impacts of fast fashion on our planet’, and is set to launch a ‘sustainable’ capsule with the brand, ironically with advice for shoppers on how to shop more ethically, as well as lead a social content series.
The range is priced from £5 to £75, featuring clothing made out of recycled polyester and recycled cotton. Revolutionary.
On one hand, you could argue that it’s a good thing – drawing the crowds of Kardashian sheep in who may never have considered the planet or sustainability. Ones that may now be eco-conscious on the basis that a famous face says so.
Although I think it’s stupid, it could be beneficial. I’ll believe it when I see it, though.
But, if you’re shopping at Boohoo in the first place, I’m sorry, but there’s no way that you actually care about the planet – given its alarming past, and present.
It’s time to stop keeping up with the Kardashians, and ditch fast fashion’s hypocrisy for good. These celebrities don’t live in the real world, with real-life problems so don’t buy into this latest facade. It’s only going to make things worse for us and for future generations.
Cheap clothes come at a high cost – a cost to worker’s wellbeing, and to the planet.
You’re not going to be such a pretty little thing in your new togs when the world is on fire, after all.

Foster adds special element to Licking Heights football
PATASKALA — It was the burst of sunlight in an otherwise stormy night for the Licking Heights special teams last Friday.
Junior Jamaal Foster caught a punt along the right hash, headed across the field and broke down the left sideline for a 50-yard punt return. Senior quarterback Deuce Caldwell scored the first of his four short touchdown runs on the next play during the Hornets’ 41-21 victory at Utica.
"Especially since I have been here the last few years, special teams haven't been good," Caldwell said. "Jamaal just brings that spark for us. He is that type of guy."
Foster previously returned a punt for a score in Week 1 against Johnstown.
When Heights was winning Licking County League-Buckeye Division titles and making regular trips to the Division II postseason, the special teams were second to none. On Friday, the Hornets allowed a kick return for a score to start the game, fumbled a punt, allowed an onside kick, which led to a Utica score to start the second half and had a tying extra point blocked later in the third quarter.
"I would love to say we didn't practice them and they caught us off-guard, but we spent all week talking about squib kicks, short hops, punt returns and kickoff coverage, which were all things we didn't execute well," coach Kele Waaland said. "We have go back to the drawing board and figure out how to be better."
Special teams often is where inexperience shows as coaches attempt to mix in young players. While Heights has a bevy of talented players, Waaland has cautioned their varsity time still only amounts to four games.

The Hornets hope they took a step Friday. Utica gave them all they wanted, but they scored the final 28 points to get the victory.
"We have some talented players, but we are a pretty inexperienced group," Waaland said. "Some of them still aren't 100% sure of what it takes to win on Friday nights. I have to give all of the credit in the world to Utica. They are going to be a dangerous team down the road. ... Hopefully, our guys learned what it takes to win and what we need to do going forward to keep getting better."
Junior linebacker Michael Landry made a game-changing play for the defense when a screen pass slipped through the hands of a Utica receiver and ended up in his as he returned it the short distance of 11 yards for the score midway through the third quarter. He later stuffed a Utica ball carrier on a fourth-and-1 play in the fourth quarter.
Junior Ethan Whitt also had a fourth-down sack as Heights’ defense shut out Utica over the final 21 minutes. Classmates D’Angelo Goodrich and Kaleb Ribbing were active on the perimeter of the defense, keeping Utica’s running attack hemmed in.
Sophomore running back Simi Jaf-Ogunlayi did not match the success he had in Week 3 against Bellefontaine, but he did break free for a 46-yard TD run during the final minutes, providing momentum the Hornets hope carries into Friday's visit from Newark Catholic (2-0).
"When we are at home, we play with a different type of confidence no matter who it is," Caldwell said. "Newark Catholic is reloading. As long as we play our game home or away and execute, we can win."

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — King Charles III flew to Northern Ireland on Tuesday on the latest leg of his tour of the four parts of the United Kingdom, where a cheering crowd gathered to greet him in a region with a contested British and Irish identity that is deeply divided over the British monarchy.
In the latest outpouring of affection since Queen Elizabeth II’s death last Thursday, hundreds of people lined the street leading to Hillsborough Castle, the royal family’s official residence in Northern Ireland, just outside Belfast. The area in front of the gates to the castle was carpeted with hundreds of floral tributes.
Charles and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, got out of their car to greet villagers — waving to the cheering crowd and sometimes using both hands at once to shake the mass of outstretched hands from people including schoolchildren in bright blue uniforms.
Charles even petted a corgi — famously his late mother’s favorite breed of dog — held up by one person.
“Today means so much to me and my family, just to be present in my home village with my children to witness the arrival of the new king is a truly historic moment for us all,” said Hillsborough resident Robin Campbell, as he waited for the new monarch.
“Although it is also a day tinged with great sadness as we witness a loving son coming to our village while we are all in mourning for the loss of a truly magnificent queen and his loving mother,” he added.
While there was a warm welcome in Hillsborough, the British monarchy draws mixed emotions in Northern Ireland, where there are two main communities: mostly Protestant unionists who consider themselves British and largely Roman Catholic nationalists who see themselves as Irish.
That split fueled three decades of violence known as “the Troubles” involving paramilitary groups on both sides and U.K. security forces, in which 3,600 people died. The royal family was touched personally by the violence: Lord Louis Mountbatten, a cousin of the queen and a much-loved mentor to Charles, was killed by an Irish Republican Army bomb in 1979.
A deep sectarian divide remains, a quarter century after Northern Ireland’s 1998 peace agreement.
But in a sign of how far Northern Ireland has come on the road to peace, representatives of Sinn Fein — the main Irish nationalist party, linked during the Troubles to the IRA — are attending commemorative events for the queen and meeting the king on Tuesday.
Sinn Fein’s president, Mary Lou McDonald, paid tribute to the 96-year-old monarch following her death last Thursday, calling her “a powerful advocate and ally of those who believe in peace and reconciliation.”
The president and prime minister of the neighboring Republic of Ireland are also due to attend a memorial service in Belfast, despite tense relations between Dublin and London over Brexit. Since Britain left the European Union in 2020, the U.K. and the EU have been wrangling over trade rules for Northern Ireland, the only part of the U.K. that shares a border with a member of the bloc.
On Monday night, Charles and his siblings, Anne, Andrew and Edward, their heads bowed, briefly stood vigil around their mother’s flag-draped coffin in St. Giles’ Cathedral as members of the public filed past.
The following morning, a man wearing a suit adorned with medals stood silently, bowed his head and moved on. A woman dabbed away tears with a handkerchief. Another woman with two young children in their school uniforms walked slowly past the coffin.
In the line of mourners outside St. Giles’ Cathedral in the historic heart of Edinburgh, Sheila McLeay called the queen “a wonderful ambassador for our country.”
“She was such an example for every single one of us. She was dignified. She was just, she was beautiful inside and out. And I have known her all of my life. And I miss her very much,” she added.
The queen’s coffin was leaving Scotland later Tuesday to be flown back to London and driven to her official London home, Buckingham Palace.
The Royal Air Force C-17 Globemaster plane that will carry the coffin has in the past been used to evacuate people from Afghanistan and to take humanitarian aid and weapons to Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, U.K. Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston said.
In the early hours of Tuesday, scores of workers were seen cleaning litter and weeds from the road between the air force base where the plane carrying the queen’s coffin will land and central London.

After the Delhi High Court took cognizance of the death of two people during cleaning of a sewer in the city, the AAP targeted Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, saying the DDA which comes under him is responsible for the tragic incident.
The Delhi L-G cannot "enjoy power without accountability", AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a statement on Monday, reacting to the court's order.
There was no immediate reaction either from the L-G Office or the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to the AAP's charge.
A sweeper and a security guard died on September 9 in Outer Delhi's Mundka area after they inhaled toxic gases inside a sewer they had gone down to clean, police had said.
Taking suo motu cognizance of the incident, a high court bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad directed registering a public interest litigation and issued notice to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Delhi government and Delhi Jal Board (DJB) in the matter on the basis of a news report dated September 11.
The court also appointed senior advocate Rajshekhar Rao as the amicus curiae (friend of the court) to assist it.
"I thank Delhi High Court's Chief Justice Satish Sharma for taking suo motu cognisance of the case and asking how the incident happened when manual scavenging is banned in Delhi," Bharadwaj, who is also the DJB vice president, said.
"The DDA, which comes directly under the L-G, is responsible for these two deaths... The L-G can not enjoy power without accountability," he added.
Bharadwaj claimed it's clear that "the department in question" was evading the issue and not owning up to its "grave crime" as in this case, right from the sewer line and its sewerage to the pumping station, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) had complete control over the operations.
The DJB vice president said he took cognizance of the incident and sought a report from his office soon after he read about it in the newspapers.
"We waited for the L-G Office to step up and accept their responsibility but the dead silence that they maintained, besides the evasiveness of the BJP leaders, is shameful," he said, targeting Saxena.
The AAP leader also alleged that the L-G Office went on "extreme lengths" to misguide the high court as well in the matter.
"The central government's lawyer did not submit in the court that DDA is at fault, instead got the court to issue notices to the Delhi government, MCD and Delhi Jal Board," he said.
The Delhi government's lawyers will "certainly" submit "a complete report" to the court but the Delhi LG must understand that power always comes with accountability, Bharadwaj said, adding "L-G can't run away like this".
"Why did not L-G meet the victims' families, offer his regret or condolence? Why did not the LG chart out the corrective measures taken in DDA to avoid such an incident again?" he asked.
"This system can not work with a power-corrupted head without any accountability," he added.

This week, the day of Mars is paradoxically calmer. From the time of the Chaldean Magi in ancient Mesopotamia comes the tradition that Tuesdays are dedicated to the planet of action and war. Thus, this September 13th reconciles the martial force with the entrance of the Full moon in the sign of Taurus, zodiacal territory where the queen of the night is exalted.
In astrology, we say that a planet is exalted when it has its properties maximized, even though it is not in the sign it rules. THE Moon, ruler of emotions and tides, has its astrological abode in the sign of Cancer, since this is the Cardinal sign of the Water element. After the sign of domicile, the second most receptive place to the properties of a given star is its sign of exaltation. In the case of the queen of the night, we say that she exalts herself in Taurus.
So, when in Taurus territories, the Moon manifests its face more focused on comfort and welcoming. That’s when the Moon inspires tasty dinners with a mother’s seasoning or, failing that, with a lot of comfort and without haste. Therefore, Tuesday can dawn a little slow, in the rhythm of rainy weather and the desire to stay in bed until a little later. But don’t forget: it’s Mars day and the week is just beginning!
The Moon in Taurus is like the cat Garfield. Anyone who is a fan of this famous feline, created by cartoonist Jim Davis, knows how he hated Mondays. All because they force us to leave the house and face the hard life. Only this week we had the first working day of the week still inspired by the anxious Moon in Aries. So, for the second day of toil, the astral was left the way every good Persian cat likes it.
For it is necessary to cultivate wisdom so that the uncontrollable desire for blankets and lasagna does not end the mood this Tuesday. For the red planet is driven by action and passion. And there’s more: this Full Moon dedicated to Garfield is, throughout the day, in tension with the deep and powerful Pluto, while Mars and Venusastrology’s sexy couple, are making out in the sky.
Do you know what all this combined means? That you need to take a deep breath to absorb the pressures of everyday life. Because, on a day when everyone seems to have fallen out of bed in the morning, you have to be calm so you don’t fight for nothing. Have a double dose of coffee and get to work! After all, the Sun Virgo is not about putting off until tomorrow what can be resolved today.
Watch: with approximately 80% of the body illuminated, the Full Moon ascends to the East with just over 90% of illumination, after 21:00, reaching the highest point in the sky around 3:00 am, on Wednesday, the 14th. heading west, the queen of the night will be practically next to hamalthe star Alpha gives Aries constellationat the same length as caph or Schedirthe star Beta gives Cassiopeia constellation.
Important: you are so much more than your sun sign! So, make better use of the horoscope by also reading the trends for your rising sign, which is essential for you to know.

‘Much better than football’ – How ex-Premier League star is netting a small fortune in new career with racehorses
FORMER Premier League star Alan Rogers says his new passion - which just so happens to be netting him a small fortune - is 'much better than football'.
Rogers, 45, played in the top flight for Nottingham Forest and Leicester and made three appearances for England Under-21s as a defender.
But he says nothing has ever compared to the thrill of seeing one of his horses win.
And that's something Rogers, who joined Forest for £2million from Tranmere in 1997 and went onto make over 200 appearances for them, has got used to lately.
Clear The Runway recorded his sixth win in seven races at Worcester on Monday - sending Rogers' career as an owner soaring.
The horse has been an absolute sensation this season, not finishing outside the top two since a run over fences at Musselburgh back in February.
And since then, on the two occasions when he was beat, he lost by just a nose and half a length respectively.
The horse has of course rocketed up the ratings and can expect a decent hike from the handicapper having won his last race - a Class 2 contest that landed Rogers a £11,981 payday - by a whopping ten lengths.

Clear The Runway didn't just beat rivals - he walloped them into submission.
The horse has proved a lucrative cash cow for Rogers, who also had spells at Wigan, Hull, Bradford and Accrington Stanley.
In just 13 runs for Rogers he has made a tidy £54,000.
And he could now be targeted at some of the big winter handicaps coming up should he keep improving over a trip of around two miles - and get the good ground he prefers.
But more than that, Clear The Runway, who runs in the red and white silks Rogers dedicates to Forest, has given his owner an 'amazing' new lease of life.
Rogers still has to listen to the experts, though.
He confessed to being 'stupid' after telling the six-year-old gelding's trainer Laura Morgan to sell the horse following a couple of disappointing runs.
But after his latest win, Rogers told the Racing Post: "This horse has just given me so much joy, it's just been a dream.
"I think he's been unlucky too, he's won seven but it should've been nine on the bounce.
"I remember he ran disappointingly one day and I told Laura to just get rid of him as he's not genuine but she told me 'no, you don't see what he does at home'. That's why I'm the stupid owner and she's the boss.
"This is much better than football. I'm not sure why but I enjoy it more, days like this are amazing."
Rogers also posted a short video of his runner and wrote alongside it: "Clear The Runway absolute f***ing legend. Not fully tuned, but wow."
Not to be outdone, Rogers was toasting more success when another of his horses Notlongtillmay, won at Fontwell back in January.
But it's Clear The Runway who is giving Rogers lift-off - and adding his owner to the long list of footballers to have excelled in racing.
Perhaps none has done better than Mick Channon.
The former England striker has made millions as a shrewd trainer.
While fellow former Three Lions frontman Michael Owen has his own yard and a whole host of top horses including Listed winners Flaming Rib and Ever Given.
And he even got five Liverpool stars to buy a horse they named after the club's press officer, Mr McCann.

Online prices rise in August as food, apparel lead gains
Online inflation climbed in August compared with the same period year ago, led by rising food costs, according to Adobe Analytics.
The Adobe Digital Price Index shows that prices for groceries surged 14.1% compared with a year ago, its highest annual increase since tracked by Adobe started tracking the data. Grocery prices jumped 1.1% since July.
The cost of groceries rose for 31 straight months and "remains the only category to move in lockstep with the Consumer Price Index on a long-term basis," according to Adobe.
The rise in grocery prices shows "no signs of abating," Patrick Brown, vice president of growth marketing and insights at Adobe, said.
ONLINE PRICES FALL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2 YEARS
Consumers didn't get any relief with apparel prices either. In August, the cost of apparel rose 4.9% year over year and jumped 8.7% from July due to slowing seasonal promotions, according to the data.

Meanwhile, personal care products rose 2.7% over the past year and 1.1% from the prior month.
Still, the data showed that consumer demand remains resilient.
"Consumer demand for e-commerce also remains steady and will keep prices elevated, especially for growing categories such as groceries, pet products, and other consumer staples," said Brown.
At the same time, some categories saw prices decline. The electronics category fell 10% from a year ago while the cost of computers, specifically, fell 12.6%.
AMID INFLATION, PEOPLE DESPERATE FOR CASH ARE TURNING TO PAWN SHOPS
Consumers collectively spent $64.6 billion online in August, a 6.5% increase compared with the same time last year.
In July, consumers spent roughly $73.7 billion, due to "Prime Day discounts that drove record sales for the retail industry overall," according to Adobe.

July sales were a 20.9% increase over last year.
So far in 2022, shoppers have already spent $580 billion online, up 8.9% compared with a year ago.

Markets: Ship Scrapping Perks Up
Following the sale of Capesize bulkers for recycling last week, the trend has continued this week as well, with further transactions reportedly taking place on units – including Capes and a Suezmax tanker, as the market finally shows signs of life after an absolutely inert summer, according to GMS.
All of the major ship recycling destinations are still poised rather precariously, and Pakistan has seen some further depreciations on the currency towards the end of this week, whilst the country continues to battle floods, shortage of essentials, and the increasing spread of water-borne diseases, as thousands have perished in the floodwaters. Bangladesh too remains somewhat tentative, with limits on higher dollar value L/Cs still in place, local steel plate prices that took a noteworthy dive this week, and a Taka that seems to have found its stable place this week.
India has experienced (marginally less) volatile moves on steel across the week and remains the safest destination to deliver at present. Following an incredibly quiet 3 - 4 months of inactivity, there are signs of demand gearing up across sub-continent locations as most plots lie nearly dormant. Lastly, the Turkish market faces its own dithers this week, with further declines on fundamentals that are burying sentiments even further into the rut.
Overall, chartering markets have deprived recycling destinations of most tonnage, but Dry Bulk has recently started to cool off (particularly the Capesize Bulker sector), whilst Containers are also showing signs of softening, all while Tanker rates continue to shoot onwards and upwards.
It should hopefully be a busier finish to the year, as Owners look to capitalize on these still firm levels, despite the $+100/LDT fall we have seen since the peaks of earlier this year. Rates in and around $550 – $600/LDT are still incredibly firm, given the lows we had witnessed of $250/LDT or so, during the early stages of the Covid pandemic.
For week 36 of 2022, GMS demo rankings / pricing for the week are as below.

Apple released iOS 16 to the general public yesterday. While we already know the features it comes with, Apple teased a new feature in the footnotes of the iOS 16 press release, called Clean Energy Charging, that it will add to the software in the coming days.
Apple says the Clean Energy Charging feature aims to decrease the carbon footprint of the iPhone by optimizing charging times for when the grid is using cleaner energy sources. While the company didn’t reveal any further details about the new charging feature, a report from 9to5Mac has revealed information about how this feature would work by analyzing the iOS 16 source code.
The report claims that iOS 16 runs a new background process that collects data about the carbon emissions of your area. The data is collected using the device’s location and from the local load balancing authority. In addition, iOS also downloads the carbon emission forecast from a server. As a result of combining all the data, the system determines when Clean Energy Charging should begin.
The Clean Energy Charging feature comes into action when power grids in your area are less constrained and more clean energy capacity is available. Considering the power situation in Texas and California, this feature couldn’t come at a better time. Surely, it will be helpful for other Apple products as well.
Along with this, iOS already comes with a number of other battery health-related features. The charging optimization feature holds the charge at 80% overnight and then intelligently completes charging. While such features are available on Android counterparts as well, this is the first time we’re seeing a big tech company implement a feature around clean charging.
Have you received the iOS 16 update on your device? What’s your new favorite feature? Drop a comment down below and let us know!

If you were at the Alitty Montclaire Aged Care home in Brighton on Tuesday between 2pm and 4pm, you may have noticed former Sydney and Brisbane cult figure Warwick Capper, leopard-print blazer and all.
Capper came to surprise devoted Swans fans, 102-year-old James Lindesay and his 97-year-old sister Joyce Schirrman.
“We had no idea he was coming,” said Lindesay. “They [Alitty Montclaire Aged Care home staff] kept on referring to him as the special guest of honour. He’s [Capper] a marvellous bloke, a perfect entertainer.”
Capper, who’s no stranger to fan meet-and-greets, said visiting older fans was always special.
“I had a cup of tea and scones and cream with them,” he said. “It’s good to look after the old fans.”
As for his outfit, Capper said he needed to dress the part for the visit. “I was tossing up between the leopard-print one [jacket] and a pink one. I thought I’ll save that one [pink jacket] for the DJ job,” he said.
Julie Roppola, the lifestyle coordinator at Allity Montclaire Aged Care home, organised the visit with Capper after wondering how to make this year’s AFL finals memorable for the Swans supporters.
“He’s a marvellous bloke, a perfect entertainer.”
102-year-old James Lindesay on Swans cult hero Warwick Capper
“I knew how long James and Joyce had been following the Swans, and so I googled Warwick Capper and reached out, he was kind enough to visit,” she says. “Warwick makes such an entrance, Joyce even got a kiss from him,” Ropolla said.
The two siblings became fans of the club in the late 1920s in its time as the South Melbourne Football Club.
James has witnessed a few Swans premierships and many finals, but although they are favourites this week against Collingwood, he is still apprehensive.
“I hope they win this week, but Collingwood is going to be hard to beat. It’s going to be a rough game on both sides,” he said.
Despite the surprise of seeing Capper on Tuesday, this isn’t the first time Lindesay has gotten the star treatment from a former Swan. On his 100th birthday, Lindesay received a South Melbourne jumper and a visit from Swans Brownlow medallist Peter Bedford.
“It [the South Melbourne jumper] was presented to me on my 100th birthday, from Peter Bedford, a Brownlow medallist,” he said.
“He also brought the medal with him, I’m surprised how small and thin it was. He let me wear the Brownlow Medal. I just couldn’t believe it.”
If the Swans win the premiership, Capper says he will be back to visit the pair.
“I think [on] Sunday we will win by two goals, and then we might be able to fix up Geelong,” he said.
“If we win the grand final I’ll have to go visit them again.”

On Oct. 27, the Waterbury Regional Chamber will honor two area businesses and one entrepreneur during the annual Harold Webster Smith breakfast that will be held at Aria in Prospect. The 2022 recipients are leading examples of small businesses and entrepreneurs who have the vision to expand, diversify and prosper – even through challenging times.
This year, the chamber will award Viron Rondos, restaurateur and owner of Viron Rondo Osteria with the Entrepreneur of the Year award; Peak Physical Therapy with the Small Business of the Year honor; and Fascia’s Chocolates with the Manufacturer of the Year award.

Small business owners can affect great change not only through the vital service they provide their devoted customers, but also through their genuine concern for the well-being of their employees and neighbors.”
The awards are given in honor of Harold Webster Smith, who founded First Federal Savings of Waterbury in 1935 to help people build and buy homes. He served as CEO until 1937 and was chairman of the board until 1995, when First Federal was renamed Webster Bank in his honor. A former member of the Waterbury Regional Chamber Board of Directors, Smith was a successful businessman who embodied ingenuity.
As the owner of the award-winning Italian restaurant Viron Rondo Osteria in Cheshire, Rondos, the Entrepreneur of the Year honoree, has led a successful career in the restaurant and hospitality industry ever since be immigrated to New York City from Greece as a young man. He opened Viron Rondo Osteria in 2015 and went above and beyond during the pandemic, offering discounts to “essential workers,” providing “at cost” groceries to his staff, pivoting his entire restaurant to take out, and later creating an outdoor seating area with a capacity for over 200 diners.
Peak Physical Therapy of Waterbury, the recipient of the Small Business of the Year award, is a rehabilitation and sports medicine clinic that in early 2020 opened a state-of-the-art facility on Chase Avenue. During the pandemic, staff took the opportunity to grow their professional development and set the groundwork for expanding their services. For more than a decade, they have given back to the community through a variety of philanthropic efforts.
The Manufacturer of the Year honoree is Fascia’s Chocolates, a Waterbury icon since 1964. In addition to their chocolate offerings, the company also produces gelato and other sweet treats, and has partnered with the Naugatuck Railroad providing a culinary, economic tourism boost to the region. The company has been a longtime supporter of many community organizations, such as the United Way of Greater Waterbury, the Exchange Club, Seven Angels Theatre.
In addition to honoring the three award recipients, Alexandra Daum, the Deputy Commissioner and Chief Investment Officer of the Department of Economic and Community Development, will provide the keynote address. In her role, Daum helps to facilitate public investment in local economic development projects and initiatives across the state, such as through brownfield remediation, public-private partnerships and urban revitalization efforts.

The yearly Celebration of Nations in the Niagara Region was held for the sixth consecutive time throughout the weekend of Sept. 9-11, with the purpose of honouring Indigenous artists and their traditions based on the philosophies found in the Two Row Wampum.
For the 2022 celebration, there is a theme of honouring Indigenous matriarchs, and similarly placing a spotlight on the work of female Indigenous leaders, such as Autumn Peltier, the current Chief Water Commissioner for the Anishinabek Nation.
On Sept. 8, the short documentary The Water Walker, which exposes Autumn’s experience advocating for clean water at the United Nations General Assembly, was showcased at The Film House in St. Catharines’ FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre. Along with the documentary, those who were at the event were able to hear the Mohawk filmmaker, Layla Staats, talk about the devastating experiences that Indigenous people on Turtle Island go through, especially in terms of water insecurity and the mental health struggles that come with it.
Prior to the screening of the documentary, Layla Staats shared a video with the audience of a traditional Haudenosaunee “Thanksgiving Address” in Mohawk, to allow the audience to embrace and thank the Earth, the water and all the other natural resources that surround us.
Following the Thanksgiving Address, the audience had the opportunity to watch the film, which followed Autumn Peltier’s journey as a young environmental activist, and the preparations that she went through before speaking in front of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and later on in her life pleading the United Nations to work together to combat climate change and water insecurity.
The film itself employed multiple mediums to get its message across, including animated sequences by Christi Belcourt, to communicate Autumn’s struggles as a water advocate, as well as fantastic poetry to convey Autumn’s story on a deeper level.
Additionally, as Staats proceeded to explain once the film was over, Autumn comes from a bloodline of water advocates, such as the Anishinaabe leader, Josephine Mandamin, her great aunt. Likewise, Mandamin was known for her water rights activism, characterized by the fact that she brought awareness to the water pollution issue in Canada by walking the Great Lakes. The audience also had the pleasure to watch Peltier’s full speech at the United Nations, once again presented by Staats.
Nearing the end of the evening, Staats proceeded to engage the audience by allowing a Q&A period. With her vast knowledge of Indigenous struggles, she was able to answer questions regarding boil water advisories and the water insecurity experiences of the Indigenous communities she has visited as part of her journey to create her new upcoming film regarding the issue.
The film screening for the Water Walker was a truly impactful experience that left the audience with much to think about regarding the water advisory issue in Canada, as well as the much larger issues of environmental racism and climate change. That said, the event would not have been able to leave such an emotional impact to the audience without the contributions and wisdom shared by Layla Staats.

This week saw the annual World Suicide Prevention Day.
Nathaniel Arthur has worked on the railways for three years, based at East Croydon Station. He has twice been involved in life-saving episodes, and his prompt action has been recognised with a lifesaver’s award.
Here, he shares his experience.
“The first intervention I made on the railway was about two years into the job. I had just helped a passenger on to a train and noticed a middle-aged woman on her own crying on the platform.
“She kept looking at our customer information board, but it was clear she was upset.
“I approached calmly and tried to start a conversation with her. But she was reluctant to speak to me. She started to walk away and then boarded one of our trains, but I had a feeling deep down that something wasn’t right. I kept an eye on her and asked my colleague to contact the British Transport Police, who were able to get on the train with her.
“It was clear the lady needed help, so I was glad to pick up on the behaviour even though I was quite nervous as I’d never been in that situation before.
“Unfortunately, I had to make another intervention more recently. Again, I spotted a woman on her own – this time, she was standing extremely close to the edge of the platform, which immediately raised alarm bells.
“I got closer to her and started talking very calmy, asking if she was ok, if there was anything I could do to help. She was adamant that she wanted to stay where she was, it was clear she was very distressed and emotional. I stayed with her, just talking and gradually moving closer and closer to her until I was able to persuade her to move away from the platform edge.
“I stayed and sat down with her talking until the BTP came to help. It was very worrying because she was clearly in a dark place in her life.
“But sadly she’s not alone in feeling like that. I’m grateful to have had the suicide prevention training from work and the Samaritans to help me feel more confident in approaching these situations.
“Working at a station comes with a lot of risks, and you have to be prepared to face a number of situations.
“When my children found out I had received a lifesaver award, they were incredibly proud.”
Nathanial Arthur’s employers, Govia Thameslink Railway, say that if someone is thinking of taking their life, they should contact the Samaritans. The calls can be made at any time and are always free from any phone on 116123, even a mobile without credit and it won’t show up on your phone bill.
Laura Campbell, GTR’s Suicide Prevention Manager, shares the vital Dos and Don’ts that they advise their staff to follow when approaching a vulnerable person:
DO
- Phone 999 immediately if you are very concerned about someone’s behaviour at a station
- Let a member of staff or fellow passenger know if you are going to approach the individual
- Approach carefully and slowly, from the side if possible
- Try to start a conversation – whatever comes naturally
- Try to move them to a safe place and find somewhere quiet to talk
- Ask open questions: these are helpful as they encourage people to talk through their problems
- Ask how they feel: Being invited to say how they’re feeling could be a big relief – and you may find out more about what they’re really worried about
DON’T
- Put yourself between the person and the tracks
- Go on the tracks under any circumstances
- Give advice
- If the individual doesn’t want help, try not to put any pressure on them. Stay nearby and do not leave them on their own

Armenia has said it lost at least 49 soldiers in Azerbaijan shelling near the ace near the Nagorno-Karabakh region on Monday night. The lingering conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, where ethnic Armenians declared a breakaway republic, had flared up in 2020, resulting in a war between the caucasian neighbors.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian told the parliament that Azerbaijani troops attacked Armenia's positions overnight. Armenia shelled the opposition in retaliation and Baku has said troops have died on the Azerbaijani side as well.
"At 00:05 a.m. [local time] on Tuesday, Azerbaijan launched intensive shelling, with artillery and large-caliber firearms, against Armenian military positions in the direction of the cities of Goris, Sotk, and Jermuk," Armenia's defense ministry said.
However, Azerbaijan accused Armenian forces of carrying out "large-scale subversive acts" earlier on Monday night near the border districts of Dashkesan, Kelbajar and Lachin by placing landmines and mobilizing weapons.
"The countermeasures taken by the Azerbaijani military in response to the provocation by the Armenian military are local and directed against legitimate military objects that serve as firing points," Azerbaijan's defense ministry said.
Simmering Conflict
As the simmering conflict escalated, Armenia invoked the cooperation agreement signed with Moscow after the 2020 war with Azerbaijan. Under the Russian-brokered truce, Armenia ceded swathes of territory to Azerbaijan and Russia deployed 2,000 troops to maintain fragile peace. Armenia on Tuesday appealed to the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization, citing aggression from Azerbaijan.
According to Moscow Times, the Kremlin acted soon enough to negotiate a ceasefire. "We expect that an agreement reached as a result of Russian mediation on a ceasefire from 9:00 a.m. Moscow time (06:00 GMT) on Sept. 13 this year will be carried out in full," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Armenian journalist Ani Avetisyan tweeted that the Defense Ministry shared a video that showed Azerbaijani troops trying to cross Armenian border. The ministry said the attempt was foiled.
"An official video by ARM MOD reportedly shows the attempt of Azeri troops to cross the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. The attempt failed according to MOD," the journalist tweeted.

CRANFORD, N.J., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Union College of Union County, NJ is announcing it has received a grant from Bank of America to elevate and accelerate the path for Hispanic students in targeted healthcare programs.
The two-year, $220,000 grant will support Hispanic-Latino students pursuing careers in healthcare through its Progresando Initiative. The program was created to help Hispanic-Latinos achieve upward economic mobility through careers in healthcare, while also helping to increase representation and address the shortage of culturally sensitive, Spanish-speaking health providers.
As part of the initiative, education firm EAB will provide research, technology, marketing, and advisory services to the participating institutions. Over the next two years, the initiative is projected to help more than 6,200 Hispanic-Latino students nationwide commit to healthcare related programs, doubling the current student rate.
The Progresando Initiative at Union aims to increase retention, course completion rates, and licensure pass rates for the Hispanic adult students in targeted healthcare programs such as Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, and Social Services. Progresando supports Union County's growing Hispanic population and the College's continued commitment to advancing non-traditional students toward high-demand careers. While nearly 40% of all Union College students are Hispanic, only 27% of students enrolled in the targeted healthcare programs are Hispanic. Moreover, despite high proportions of Hispanic residents within Union County and enrolled at the College, Hispanics represent approximately 20 percent of the county's healthcare workforce. The initiative will provide these students space to collaborate, receive resources, and access to various support networks to promote academic and career success. The initiative will focus on providing students with the following:
- Intensive cohort-based tutoring and test preparation;
- Emergency financial assistance in the form of stipends;
- A bilingual student services specialist who will serve as an advisor and mentor;
- Cultural events and activities at the Union campuses.
"At Union, we are proud to be a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution based on our enrollment of Hispanic students. Almost half of our students are Hispanic," states College President Dr. Margaret M. McMenamin. "This is a valuable opportunity to help a large, underserved group in our community, specifically in the healthcare field, a field more necessary than ever. This will be a successful partnership and of great value to our community."
"By focusing on high-demand programs in the healthcare sector, Progresando helps create a pathway for Union County's Hispanic student population toward fulfilling careers," said Alberto Garofalo, President of Bank of America New Jersey. "Demand for healthcare services will only increase in the years ahead, and through this program, we are able to help Hispanic students be part of the solution and create brighter futures for themselves and future generations."
Beginning in the fall 2022 semester, Progresando will provide students with career pathways and opportunities in the healthcare industry. Thanks to the support of Bank of America, Union's Hispanic students in these programs will receive the help they need to continue their education and get the resources and support for their continued success.
The Progresando initiative is available for current and potential students. For more information about Progresando eligibility, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Ramos, Dean of the Elizabeth Campus and Institute for Intensive English at Ramos@ucc.edu.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Koreans shared congratulations on social media Tuesday for the multiple wins by “Squid Game” at the Emmy Awards, but the overall reaction was subdued as the country grows accustomed to its increasingly prominent role in global entertainment.
From K-pop sensations BTS and BLACKPINK to the movie “Parasite” that won four Oscars, South Korean pop culture is now a global phenomenon. While it was big news that “Squid Game” became the first South Korean drama to win an Emmy, many South Koreans weren’t as surprised by such triumphs as in the past.
South Korean social media were flooded with messages after the star of the Netflix drama, Lee Jung-jae, won the award for best male actor in a drama series, and its creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, the award for best drama director on Monday. Both were the first Asians to win in those categories.
President Yoon Suk Yeol congratulated Lee and Hwang, saying the entire nation was celebrating their accomplishments in a show that resonated with viewers around the world.
“(We) hope that (you) will continue to be active with your work and appear in good works that move hearts around the world,” Yoon said in a message to Lee he shared on Facebook.
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon wrote on Facebook that he was proud that South Korean artists are producing work that is “enthusiastically celebrated and emphasized by the whole world.”
Ordinary citizens also wrote congratulatory messages on social media. But some messages were critical of the drama, and the level of elation was much lower than when Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” became the first non-English-language film to win best picture at the Academy Awards in 2020 and won three other Oscars.
The president at the time, Moon Jae-in, and his advisers began a regular meeting by clapping to celebrate the Oscars, and South Korean media extensively played up the news.
Several hours after the Emmy wins by “Squid Game,” the news was still on the front pages of the internet editions of major South Korean media outlets, but not at the top, which was dominated by domestic politics.
“People are getting used to (major awards),” film critic Kim See-moo said. “Bong Joon-ho took home four Oscars for ‘Parasite,’ another one of our actors won an Oscar for ‘Minari’ and then Park Chan-wook won best director at Cannes (for ‘Decision to Leave’). South Koreans no longer think there are any entry barriers for these awards, and they think anyone has a shot at winning if they put in the hard work.”
Kim noted that South Koreans are less familiar with the Emmys than the Oscars, partly because Korean dramas previously didn’t have a large presence in the United States.
“South Korean TV dramas have been huge in Asia for years, especially in markets where people share similar emotional sentiments with South Koreans,” Kim said. “‘Squid Game’ became a broader global hit because it tackled the intense global issue that is inequality, but also took a refreshing approach by telling that story through a brutal and deadly competition of children’s games.”
“As a Korean, I’m very proud of (the drama),” Choi Hyun Sik, a 32-year-old office worker, told The Associated Press. “I once again came to realize how popular ‘Squid Game’ was.”
”(Lee) made an award speech in English but at the end he spoke in Korean and highlighted his fans and people in South Korea, so I was really touched by that,” said Jeong Ye-won, a 22-year-old university student.
Squid Game is a brutal survival drama about desperate adults competing in deadly children’s games for a chance to escape debt. In the drama, Lee stars as the show’s protagonist, Seong Gi-hun, a laid-off autoworker coping with a messy divorce and struggling with constant business failures and gambling problems.

Designed for the safe and simple removal of tissue, the LapBox empowers gynecologists to use manual morcellation during minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures as an alternative to higher-risk open surgery.
NAZARETH, Israel, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ark Surgical Ltd., an Israeli medical device company, announced today that it has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its patented LapBox tissue containment removal system for manual morcellation. Designed to enable the safe and simple removal of tissue, the LapBox empowers gynecologists to use manual morcellation for minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures as an alternative to higher-risk open surgery.
Uniquely designed as a double-walled container, the LapBox creates a secure, enclosed environment to prevent the risk of dispersion of cancerous cells during morcellation. It also employs an easy-to-use delivery technology providing gynecologists with improved control and maneuverability to optimize laparoscopic surgery.
"We are delighted to meet this major regulatory milestone," said Stav Tori, CEO of Ark Surgical. "Following our recent successful first-in-human study, our strategic plan is being implemented. We remain committed to bringing a much-needed safe tissue containment solution for the millions of women requiring myomectomies and hysterectomies."
"Today, the majority of hysterectomies are still being performed by open surgery with a large abdominal incision," said Dr. Edward Evantash, Chief Medical Officer of Ark Surgical. "The advanced LapBox containment system paves the way for many more women to now benefit from a minimally invasive approach, which is proven to reduce pain, shorten recovery times and decrease complications."
Ark Surgical is initiating a Round B investment and will be presenting the LapBox at the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) 2022 Global Congress in Aurora, CO - Dec 1-4, 2022.

SEATTLE, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Yadea Group, a leading player in the electric scooter industry, has scooped three International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), demonstrating the company's strengths in the field of industrial design.
Yadea is increasingly receiving acknowledgements and validation for its innovative electric two-wheeler designs. This time, the company received three nominations for its products. The DV6 e-scooter and Y80 ebike picked up Bronze Awards, while the KS2 electric kick-scooter was named a Finalist. The awards provide commendations to products based on their user-friendly designs, as well as their overall aesthetic and appearance, while also focusing on the product and functional performance.
"At Yadea, we are honored to have been nominated and to have received these awards, and we would like to extend our thanks to IDEA for this symbol of recognition," said Aska Zeng, CEO of Yadea Europe. "We are also deeply indebted and grateful to Yadea's outstanding R&D and design team for their continuous innovations when developing these excellent designs with users in mind."
Now in its 42nd year, the iconic IDEA is one of the longest-running design awards globally and receives thousands of entries worldwide on an annual basis. The IDEA jury reviews entries against multiple criteria spanning design innovation, benefits to the user, client, brand and society, as well as appropriate aesthetics.
"At Yadea, we have always prided ourselves on our product design," added Steve Mo, Design Director of Yadea. "During the product development process, as well as prioritizing function and performance of the product itself, we also strive to provide our users with the most comfortable experience, and this works its way into our design process."
Renowned in the industry for its sleek yet convenient foldable design, the Yadea Y80 took a Bronze IDEA award home. Featuring a minimalist one-piece cast-body, this elegant two-wheeler looks like a typical bicycle at first glance. It actually comes equipped with a 350W 100Nm high-power motor, providing a range that makes it ideal for commuters.
Yadea's other Bronze IDEA award winner was the DV6 electric bicycle. Despite its simple, diminutive, and elegant design, the V-shaped DV6 packs in a variety of innovative features. The product's small stature, intentionally worked into its design, makes it perfect for those who do not wish to deal with a heavy electric scooter.
The company's other product to receive plaudits at the IDEA Awards was the KS2, Yadea's new-generation electric scooter. With the KS2, the company incorporated a compact and ergonomic design. The subsequent improvements in portability and manoeuvrability compared with other models make the KS2 ideal for use as a last-mile mobility solution in urban areas. Yadea is currently putting the final touches on a roll-out for the KS2 across the North American market. Customers in the US will be able to purchase the product on Amazon from Sep 12th.
The company has always laid a strong emphasis on the design of products, with its portfolio of products boasting a strong design aesthetic and a high level of artistic flair. The IDEA awards are not the first instance of industry recognition for Yadea. The company also won the IDEA award in 2019, as well as a Red Dot Design Award in 2020. Yadea also collaborates with world-leading design studios such as Giovannoni Design, AMV Design, and KISKA.
While adhering design excellence, Yadea has continued to devote itself to a mission of providing people with eco-friendly mobility solutions. The company remains steadfast in this commitment and industry recognition of its products spurs Yadea on to create even more outstanding innovative two-wheelers in the future.

Bengaluru's civic body conducted its anti-encroachment drive for the second day on on Tuesday, razing illegal structures that were built on the stormwater drains in several areas of the Mahadevapura zone which were allegedly causing flooding.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) carried out the exercise in Shantiniketana Layout in Mahadevapura zone. The massive flooding in parts of Bengaluru, particularly the information technology corridor and arterial roads, was blamed on such encroachment. Portions of some bungalows in the posh locality were partially damaged in the drive.
A BBMP official, who is part of the drive, said the government has given a go-ahead and there is no question of sparing anyone, however powerful they may be. Some residents in the layout alleged only poor people are targeted whereas the stormwater drains encroached by the "high and mighty" in the posh layouts and major IT parks have been spared.
Revenue Minister R Ashoka told reporters his department is giving a list of encroachments to the BBMP. "I have given instructions to the deputy commissioner, assistant commissioner and tahsildars to stand with the BBMP and provide them documents, without looking at big people, small people and so on, and unsparingly demolish (illegal) structures," Ashoka said.
BBMP began the demolition drive on Monday, within days of the havoc caused by rain-triggered floods in parts of the city with Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai asserting that the anti-encroachment offensive would be done on a big scale.
According to official sources, the BBMP identified at least 10 places in Mahadevapura zone, which were choking the flow of rainwater, including a building, playground and garden of a prominent private school which encroached upon a stormwater drain.
The Chief Minister said on Monday: "I have given a clear direction to the officials to remove the encroachment whoever has built structures on the stormwater drains and interrupted the flow of rainwater."

What’s left as Jan. 6 panel sprints to year-end finish
WASHINGTON (AP) — With only three months left in the year, the House Jan. 6 committee is eyeing a close to its work and a final report laying out its findings about the U.S. Capitol insurrection. But the investigation is not over.
The committee has already revealed much of its work at eight hearings over the summer, showing in detail how former President Donald Trump ignored many of his closest advisers and amplified his false claims of election fraud after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. Witnesses interviewed by the panel — some of them Trump’s closest allies — recounted in videotaped testimony how the former president declined to act when hundreds of his supporters violently attacked the Capitol as Congress certified Biden’s victory on Jan. 6, 2021.
Lawmakers say there is more to come. The nine-member panel — seven Democrats and two Republicans — interviewed witnesses through all of August, and they are planning at least one hearing this month. Members are expected to meet and discuss some of their next steps on Tuesday.
Because the Jan. 6 panel is a temporary, or “select,” committee, it expires at the end of the current Congress. If Republicans take the majority in November’s elections, as they are favored to do, they are expected to dissolve the committee in January. So the panel is planning to issue a final report by the end of December.
What’s left for the committee in 2022:
HEARINGS
The committee is expected to hold at least one hearing, maybe more, before the end of the month. Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the Republican vice chairwoman, said the committee “has far more evidence to share with the American people and more to gather.”
“Doors have opened, new subpoenas have been issued and the dam has begun to break,” Cheney said at a July 21 hearing that was held in prime time and watched by 17.7 million people. “We have considerably more to do.”
It’s unclear if the next hearings will provide a general overview of what the panel has learned or if they will be focused on new information and evidence. The committee conducted several interviews at the end of July and into August with Trump’s Cabinet secretaries, some of whom had discussed invoking the constitutional process in the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office after the insurrection.
WITNESSES
The panel has already interviewed more than 1,000 people, but lawmakers and staff are still pursuing new threads. The committee just recently spoke to several of the Cabinet secretaries, including former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in July and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao in August.
The committee also wants to get to the bottom of missing Secret Service texts from Jan. 5-6, 2021, which could shed further light on Trump’s actions during the insurrection, particularly after earlier testimony about his confrontation with security as he tried to join supporters at the Capitol.
“We anticipate talking to additional members of the president’s Cabinet,” Cheney said at the beginning of August. “We anticipate talking to additional members of his campaign. Certainly, we’re very focused as well on the Secret Service.”
The committee has also pursued an interview with conservative activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, who’s married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Lawmakers want to know more about her role in trying to help Trump overturn the election. She contacted lawmakers in Arizona and Wisconsin as part of that effort.
FINAL REPORT
The committee must shut down within a month after issuing a final report, per its rules. But lawmakers could issue some smaller reports before then, perhaps even before the November elections. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the panel’s chairman, has said there may be an interim report in the fall.
The release of the final report will likely come close to the end of the year so the panel can maximize its time. While much of the findings will already be known, the report is expected to thread the story together in a definitive way that lays out the committee’s conclusions for history.
TRUMP AND PENCE
Members of the committee are still debating how aggressively to pursue testimony from Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence.
Some have have questioned whether calling Pence — he resisted Trump’s pressure to try and block Biden’s certification on Jan. 6 — is needed since many of his closest aides have already testified. His top lawyer at the White House, Greg Jacob, testified at one of the committee’s hearings in June and characterized much of Pence’s thought process during the time when Trump was pressuring him.
The panel has been in discussions with Pence’s lawyers for months, without any discernible progress. Still, the committee could invite Pence for closed-door testimony or ask him to answer written questions.
The calculation is different for the former president. Members have debated whether they need to call Trump, who is the focus of their probe but also a witness who has railed against the investigation, denied much of the evidence and who has floated the idea of presidential pardons for Jan. 6 rioters. He is also facing scrutiny in several other investigations, including at the Justice Department and over the classified documents he took to his private club.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS
Another bit of unfinished business is the committee’s subpoenas to five House Republicans, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
In May the panel subpoenaed McCarthy, R-Calif., and Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama. The panel has investigated McCarthy’s conversations with Trump the day of the attack and meetings the four other lawmakers had with the White House beforehand as Trump and his aides worked to overturn his election defeat.
The five Republicans, all of whom have repeatedly downplayed the investigation’s legitimacy, have simply ignored the request to testify. But the Jan. 6 committee seems unlikely to meet their defiance with contempt charges, as they have with other witnesses, in the weeks before the November elections. Not only would it be a politically risky move, but it is unclear what eventual recourse the panel would have against its own colleagues.
LEGISLATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
The committee is expected to weigh in on possible legislative changes to the Electoral Count Act, which governs how a presidential election is certified by Congress.
A bipartisan group of senators released proposed changes over the summer that would clarify the way states submit electors and the vice president tallies the votes. Trump and his allies tried to find loopholes in that law ahead of Jan. 6 as the former president worked to overturn his defeat to Biden and unsuccessfully pressured Pence to go along.
The Jan. 6 panel’s final report is expected to include a larger swath of legislative recommendations.

A sharp increase in global interest rates has increased worries about an economic downturn, which has made the stocks of many steel companies drop this year. This might provide buying opportunities for patient investors. In this article, we'll highlight the strengths and weaknesses of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:NYSE:CLF) and United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:NYSE:X) in order to see which steel company is better for different types of investors.
The global economy is facing a range of macro headwinds. The current Russia-Ukraine war, lockdowns in China, and rising interest rates in many parts of the world have led to a harsh economic environment. Steel companies traditionally have been economically sensitive, which is why the share prices of United States Steel, Cleveland-Cliffs, and other steel stocks is down meaningfully this year:
Cleveland-Cliffs has dropped by a hefty 45% from its 2022 high, while United States Steel is down by a pretty large 38%. Even on an enterprise value, i.e. when we also include the net debt position of the two companies on top of their market capitalizations, the drop was hefty, at more than 36% for both companies.
The market is forward-looking and anticipates a significant deterioration in business conditions, or at least the market is pricing these two steel companies for such a scenario. 2022 will most likely still be a banner year for both steel players:
Cleveland-Cliffs is forecasted to generate $4.3 billion in EBITDA this year. That makes for an enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 3.4, suggesting a pretty low valuation in a static environment. Of course, if EBITDA drops considerably next year and beyond, then the forward valuation is not as low and CLF does not necessarily look as attractive any longer. But it is clear that CLF is pretty cheap based on what the company can earn in the current environment/in 2022. United States Steel is even cheaper, currently trading at an enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of just 1.6. That's around half of CLF's valuation, which could indicate that the market sees United States Steel's EBITDA drop more in 2023 and beyond.
The valuation difference may also be attributable to the fact that CLF is seen as a company with above-average management quality, which could warrant a valuation premium versus CLF's peers. CLF's strong position in the automobile market also is another reason that helps explain its higher valuation, relative to X, although CLF still looks rather inexpensive in absolute terms.
Steel isn't a high-growth industry, so investors put a lot of value on shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks. When it comes to dividends, neither company looks strong. Cleveland-Cliffs does not pay any dividends at all, while United States Steel makes some dividend payments, but at an almost negligible level: Its current dividend yield is 0.8%, which isn't appealing for income investors.
Buybacks are more significant, and one could argue that they are also more important for steel companies overall. After all, stock prices for steel companies are highly volatile, and so are their cash flows. Paying a regular dividend isn't easy for steel companies due to the ups and downs in the industry. On the other hand, they can return a lot of cash to shareholders during the good times. Since the volatility in steel companies' share prices is bound to make for some attractive buying opportunities, buybacks can be a great way to generate shareholder value -- as long as management teams are utilizing these buyback programs at the right time without damaging the balance sheets.
Looking at the balance sheet strength of CLF and United States Steel, it is pretty clear that Cleveland-Cliffs is the more heavily indebted company right now. Its net debt comes in around $5 billion, while United States Steel has only around $1 billion in net debt today. This nets the cash position of both companies against their gross debt positions. Since both companies are forecasted to generate relatively comparable EBITDA this year, CLF thus employs around 5x the leverage X uses, as their respective net debt to EBITDA ratios are ~1 and ~0.2 today.
Cleveland-Cliffs is forecasted to see its EBITDA decline less next year and in 2024, relative to United States Steel. CLF is, according to the analyst consensus estimate, poised to see its EBITDA drop by 33% in 2023, and by another 1% in 2024. Meanwhile, analysts believe that United States Steel will see its EBITDA drop by 54% next year, and by another 11% in the year after. That is explainable by CLF's more resilient business model thanks to the contracts it has with automobile manufacturers that should have a positive impact on its average sales price, relative to what X will see in the next two years.
Still, even when we look at 2023 EBITDA estimates, CLF employs considerably more leverage than United States Steel, as its net debt to EBITDA multiple is around 1.8, versus ~0.5 for X. No matter how one looks at this, X is the company with the stronger balance sheet today. That positions the company very well for shareholder returns, which is why the company has spent heavily on buybacks in recent months. During the second quarter, the company bought back $400 million worth of shares, which is equal to 7% of the current market capitalization -- or 28% annualized. In July alone, the company has spent another $130 million on share repurchases, effectively keeping the buyback pace in line with Q2. A new $500 million buyback program has been announced in July as well, thus it seems likely that the company has been spending heavily in August as well, and buybacks could remain high throughout the remainder of the year. Since X is trading at a very inexpensive valuation while having a strong balance sheet, buybacks seem opportune to me. Reducing the share count by a significant margin in the current environment could pay off handsomely for longer-term holders.
Due to its higher valuation and its weaker balance sheet, Cleveland-Cliffs hasn't been as active when it comes to buybacks. Nevertheless, the company has not stood still, buying back around 1.5% of the company's shares during the second quarter. That makes for a very solid ~6% annual buyback pace, although that is considerably lower compared to United States Steel's numbers. With CLF making progress in lowering its debt position, the company could increase its buybacks in future quarters, although there is no guarantee for that.
United States Steel is cheaper, has a stronger balance sheet, and offers a way higher buyback pace relative to Cleveland-Cliffs. So far, it looks like X is the clear winner among these two companies. But Cleveland-Cliffs has some advantages as well. It is the clear market leader in automobile steels, and technical leadership in this space makes it likely that CLF will continue to receive premium prices for its products. X's steel is, by comparison, more commoditized, making X more vulnerable versus competition and market downturns.
CLF's management also has been expanding the company in order to generate higher profits along the value chain and in order to become more independent from other companies. Acquisitions also increased CLF's scale, which generates some cost advantages in areas such as administration, purchasing, etc. In 2020, CLF was very active, acquiring both AK Steel and ArcelorMittal USA. With its vertically integrated model, CLF owns assets in pellets, HBI, and prime scrap. Its raw material comes from owned US locations, which makes CLF less dependent on imports relative to other steel manufacturers including United States Steel -- CLF is the only US steel company that does not depend on imported pig iron, for example.
I'd thus say that CLF is the better company when it comes to defensiveness, resilience, and strategy. Investors can thus decide whether they want to pay up for these qualities and buy CLF at a higher valuation, or whether they prefer the ultra-low valuation and potential for massive buybacks that X offers. A case can be made for both, and I believe this is more a question of investing style and how risks are perceived, instead of a question of one company being good and the other one being bad.
Energy costs in Europe are ultra-high, which has resulted in some shut-ins of production across the continent. More of those could follow in the coming months. For non-European producers, that could be positive. At the same time, there are some issues in China due to lockdowns and electricity shortages due to a draught that reduces electricity generation from reservoir dams. Add the war in Ukraine that adds supply disruptions and sanctions on Russia, and US-based steel manufacturers could benefit from issues for many non-US-based competitors. If there is a harsh recession, that may not help much. But in case the economic slowdown is less pronounced than thought, US-based producers could be quite advantaged and the inexpensive valuations of CLF and X could result in considerable share price gains. Both companies have upside potential of more than 60% to their respective 52-week highs.

Burger King has $400M plan to make you fall in love with the Whopper again
(CNN) - Burger King is getting a $400 million upgrade following a rough few years that have seen the fast food giant lag behind its competitors.
Executives are hoping a major investment in restaurants and advertising will strengthen the brand and spark new growth.
Over the next two years, they plan to pump $150 million into advertising and digital products and $250 million into updating restaurant technology, kitchens and remodeling.
A key part of the plan is to make diners fall in love with the Whopper again.
That includes ensuring consistency and beefing up training on making the best possible Whopper.
The branding push will remind customers the burger chain is the “home of the Whopper.”
Burger King will remodel and modernize roughly 800 restaurants and has already changed its logo, packaging, signage and uniforms.

A teenager who was arrested with two Molotov cocktails and a homemade sharp object at an anti-government rally in central Zagreb on Saturday has been remanded to 30-day investigative custody, a Zagreb County Court juvenile judge has ruled.
The juvenile judge has accepted the motion by the Zagreb County Prosecutor’s Office and ordered investigative custody for the minor because of the risk of him repeating the crime.
On Saturday, the 17-year-old participated in an anti-government protest held in the wake of a major gas trading scandal at the national oil company Ina. The event was organized by a non-party group called Free Together, which was formed during the pandemic to protest Covid restrictions, and especially Covid passes.
He is suspected of planning crimes against values protected by international law, in conjunction with crimes of terrorism and the use of force against law enforcement officers, the Prosecutor’s Office said on Tuesday.
Under the Croatian criminal code, a crime of preparing an act of terrorism carries a prison sentence of up to five years.

ROME (AP) — The leader of Italy’s center-left campaign alliance on Tuesday cited the gains of a Swedish populist party with neo-Nazi roots as further proof that fear is propelling the far-right’s growth in Europe, and he warned that the outcome of his own country’s approaching election could determine Italy’s future role in Europe.
“Fears are today a big part of the way in which our societies are living this period,” former Premier Enrico Letta said, citing the pandemic and its economic woes, the energy crisis of soaring utility bills and Russia’s war against Ukraine.
“It’s easier for the right, for the extreme right to push, to boost (itself) on these fears,” Letta, who leads the Democratic Party, told The Associated Press in an interview.
In the Swedish election last weekend, a populist, anti-immigration party, Sweden Democrats, surged in balloting to become the country’s second-largest political force. Fears of gang violence dominated Sweden’s election campaign.
The elections in Italy on Sept. 25 “are like a Brexit referendum in the U.K,.” Letta said, referring to the stunning 2016 vote that saw Britain decide to leave the European Union.
“You have just two possible solutions. The solution that the right is raising is a solution of nationalism,” Letta said. “The other solution is on our side, and our solution means Europe.”
His chief rival in Italy’s election is Giorgia Meloni, who leads the far-right Brothers of Italy party, which has roots in neo-fascism. She hopes to become the first woman to hold the Italian premiership.
In opinion polls, Letta’s Democratic Party has been running neck-and-neck with Meloni’s party. Voter surveys indicate her party, which has called for a naval blockade of Africa’s Mediterranean coast to try to stop migrants from reaching Italy, could garner more than 20% in the upcoming balloting. In the previous election it won only a 4% share.
Because Italy’s electoral system rewards parties that join forces in campaign alliances, Meloni holds a big advantage over Letta.
She has forged alliances with the right-wing, anti-migrant League leader Matteo Salvini and former Premier Silvio Berlusconi who heads the center-right Forza Italia party. Letta, meanwhile, has refused to ally with the 5-Star Movement — Italy’s biggest populist party in Parliament which helped collapse Premier Mario Draghi’s government in July — while his overture for a campaign alliance with two small centrist parties was rebuffed.
Draghi’s sudden loss of coalition allies set the stage for tjese parliamentary elections six months early.
Should the right triumph in Italy’s election, “it’s a danger for the future of Italy,” said Letta. ”It is a danger because Italy needs European cooperation. And without European cooperation it would be impossible to find solutions to all our problems.”
Letta in the interview ruled out any Draghi-style broad coalition government, like the one the former European Central Bank chief formed in early 2021 to help Italy’s pandemic-battered economy recover.
“There won’t be any governments of national unity,” he said.

New insulation incorporating the proven FR-Tech Fire Resistant Technology provides cost-effective fire performance for critical plant pipe systems.
HOUSTON, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation has introduced its ProRox PS 680 with FR-Tech insulation for pipework systems of various sizes. The next-generation insulation technology provides proven fire resistance to a plant's piping network—giving your people additional time to stop the spread of a fire and get to a safe location.
Fires pose a major risk to industrial manufacturing centers, particularly petrochemical plants, oil and gas processing plants, and any other facilities storing or using hydrocarbons. Such fires raise the risks of serious injuries, damage millions of dollars' worth of equipment, and take a severe toll on air quality. An unchecked fire can result in significant plant downtime, unplanned repairs and rebuilds, and a major drop in plant profitability.
Proven passive fire protection
ProRox PS 680 with FR-Tech is the latest offering in ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation's line of ProRox stone wool insulation products. By effectively slowing the transfer of a fire's heat to steel pipework, this innovative insulation adds critical time to your plant's fire response and evacuation plans.
ProRox PS 680 was successfully tested to the UL 1709 fire curve for optimized fire performance in 1- and 2-hour ratings on Schedule 40 and 80 pipe sections. It was also certified by internationally recognized organizations such as SWRI, Intertek, and SGH to deliver proven fire resistance for steam and pipe systems operating at high temperatures.
ProRox PS 680 is available as mandrel-wound, stone wool insulation pipe sections. The insulation sections are applied at typically half the thickness of conventional insulation materials and install easily, without the need for sealants or offsite cutting. The insulation's thinner application profile makes it easier to install around tight pipe bends and areas with limited clearance space. And because it is removable and reusable, the insulation optimizes maintenance costs and allows for cost-effective, simplified inspection.
ProRox 680 with FR-Tech also incorporates ROCKWOOL's proven WR-Tech technology, a revolutionary binder that coats each individual insulation fiber to combat corrosion under insulation (CUI). This gives the insulation dramatically improved water repellency. In fact, the patented WR-Tech makes the insulation five times more water repellent (at 482°F/250°C) than standard EN-compliant stone wool, even after heating and aging.
"When it comes to fires in an industrial plant, even mere seconds are critical to containing localized fire damage and preventing serious injuries," says Daniel Aiken, Business Unit Director of Americas for ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation. "While it's not possible to completely fireproof any plant, ProRox PS 680 with FR-Tech provides a cost-effective, proven solution to significantly increase your plant's fire resistance. Plant operators are moving quickly to install this insulation solution on their piping systems, in less time, at lower costs, and with less effort than conventional insulation systems. And with the addition of WR-Tech for CUI mitigation, PS 680 helps extend plant operations and protect against two processing risks—fire and water."
ProRox PS 680 is currently made in North America—for North American customers who need proven passive fire protection for their plant piping systems. Contact your ROCKWOOL representative today for questions on availability and pricing.

Ole Miss’ homecoming weekend isn’t for two more weeks. Rebels defensive end Jared Ivey will have his own version Saturday, however.
The former Georgia Tech starter will come back to Tech and Bobby Dodd Stadium as a member of the visiting team as No. 20 Ole Miss will match up with the Yellow Jackets.
“A lot of people, family are going to be deep in the stadium coming to support, so I think it’s just going to feel like home,” Ivey said Monday at a media session in Oxford, Miss.
Ivey, from North Gwinnett High, played two seasons for Tech. He played in 20 games, starting 13. He entered the transfer portal in January, one of 13 Tech players to leave following the end of the 2021 season. He committed to Ole Miss a few days later, becoming one of 28 players to transfer to coach Lane Kiffin’s team, a haul that was ranked second in FBS by 247Sports. After running back Jahmyr Gibbs, Ivey was arguably the most significant Tech player to leave through the portal after the season.
“It was really just a personal decision – no shade to those (Tech) guys at all,” Ivey said. “I loved my time at Tech, made unbelievable connections and relationships. But I just felt like I could find a better situation for myself somewhere else.”
Ivey has been a backup at defensive end through the Rebels’ first two games. He has been credited with five tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and a quarterback hurry.
As Ole Miss prepares, Ivey said he has been offering his two cents to coaches about Tech’s personnel and scheme.
“But they’ve had a whole offseason to do what they need to do to prepare the way they need to prepare,” Ivey said. “It’s not the exact same, but I’m giving my input where I can.”
He wasn’t sure how much his knowledge will aid the Ole Miss cause.
“They know that I used to play there, play in the scheme, and I’m at a school that they’re playing,” Ivey said. “They’re not going to come in and run all the stuff that they ran while I was there. It’d be crazy. I don’t think any team in the country with transfers would do that. Everybody makes adjustments.”
Tech has already been in a similar situation, as Jackets coaches were able to tap the knowledge of quarterback Taisun Phommachanh and guard Paul Tchio, both transfers from Clemson, prior to the season opener against the Tigers. After Saturday, the Jackets will face one more opponent with a player who transferred from Tech after last season (Pitt with tight end Dylan Deveney).
“They’ve got a lot of weapons,” Ivey said of the Jackets. “They use their slot a lot in space, find ways to get him the ball. They try to come out and run like any team does. Especially being at their place, look for them to take shots, but we’re prepared. We’ve got a whole week of practice to get ready for it, and I think we’re ready, ready to go.”
Ivey is one of 16 players on the Ole Miss roster from Georgia. Left tackle Jeremy James (North Forsyth High), defensive back Otis Reese (Lee County High, transferred from UGA) and kicker Jonathan Cruz (Cartersville High, transferred from Charlotte) are at the top of the depth chart of their respective positions.
But Ivey’s the only who has called Bobby Dodd Stadium home. Ivey may not be the first former Tech player to return to Grant Field as a playing opponent, but certainly there haven’t been many before him.
“It’s a very fun environment to play in,” he said. “I enjoyed being there. I loved it, and I loved my guys. We had some diehard fans that were really riding for us. One of the coolest entrances in college football. So I think we’re going to go in there and do what we do.”

The Danville Planning Commission is set to consider approving a proposed wireless facility downtown as part of its consent agenda Tuesday.
The planned DISH Wireless Telecommunications facility would be at 156 Diablo Road, within the Downtown Business District.
The site, which currently hosts a T-Mobile telecommunications facility, is zoned for retail under the town's General Plan, which necessitates a land use permit to be approved by the planning commission for wireless facilities.
"The Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance lists the Town's downtown area as a 'non-preferred' location," project planner Riley Anderson-Barrett said in a staff report. "Any proposed facility in a non-preferred location is subject to review and approval by the Danville Planning Commission."
According to Anderson-Barrett, the proposed project meets the conditions of approval and other requirements for moving it forward.
"The proposed facility is consistent with the development standards contained within the Town's Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance," Anderson-Barrett said. "Specifically, the equipment is proposed on a roof substantially screened behind an existing parapet and the addition of architectural elements to provide screening which would effectively conceal the site from public view."
Under Danville's wireless communications facilities ordinance and federal laws, wireless sites are required to have architecture that camouflages antennas and that mimic the existing architecture of the building.
The Danville Planning Commission is set to meet Tuesday (Sept. 13) at 5 p.m. The agenda is available here.
In other business, commissioners will hear a presentation from the Danville Senior Advisory Committee on the town's Age Friendly Roadmap.

Tucked away down St Andrews Street just off the Saltmarket in Glasgow’s east end if the joyful Squid Ink Studio.
It’s about midway between Glasgow Green and the famous Barrowlands – an apt spot for such a haven of playful design.
Artist and designer Sarah Henderson opened up here in 2013 not long after she’d graduated from art school and was looking for a creative outlet.
Since then, she has collaborated with the likes of the Tate Modern, the Barbican and even the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
All the colourful concrete homewares such as sculptural candle holders and soap dishes, are handmade by Henderson in the shop’s studio.
The ochre walls are pleasingly lined with candles, planters, home fragrances, dried flowers and eco-friendly gifts.
Pop in if you’re in the neighbourhood and have a browse. We’ve got our eye on the weaving loom kits (child- and adult-friendly) and the citrus squiggle candles.

Mark David Chapman, the man who shot and killed John Lennon in New York's Upper West Side over 40 years ago, was denied parole for the 12th time.
The 67-year-old prisoner, serving a 20-years-to-life sentence at Green Haven Correctional Facility in New York, was once again denied parole in August. The parole board has decided to keep Chapman behind bars every two years since he was first eligible for parole in 2000.
Additional details about Chapman's parole case, including the transcript, have yet to be made available through the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
When Chapman was denied in 2018, his 10th time seeking parole, the panel told NPR that releasing him would be "incompatible with the welfare and safety of society." Chapman had shown "a callous disregard" of human pain and suffering, the panel said.
Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, has historically sent a letter to the parole board every two years to request her husband's murderer remain in prison, CNN reported.
Chapman traveled from Hawaii to New York to assassinate Lennon on Dec. 8, 1980, and had even met the Beatles star earlier that same day, according to the 2012 parole hearing transcript. During that parole hearing, Chapman told the panel that he had briefly struggled internally on whether to carry out the murder.
"It wasn't all totally cold-blooded, but most of it was. I did try to tell myself to leave. I've got the album, take it home, show my wife, everything will be fine," Chapman said in 2012. "But I was so compelled to commit that murder that nothing would have dragged me away from that building."
His next opportunity for parole is scheduled for February 2024, the Associated Press reported.

Waterfall's industrial cybersecurity products are trusted by critical infrastructures worldwide
PARIS, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Waterfall Security Solutions, the Operational Technology (OT) security company, today announced a collaboration agreement to secure safety-critical and reliability-critical operations networks for railways and public transport with Alstom, the global leader in smart and green mobility. Increased digitalization and interconnectivity in rail systems enhance system efficiencies and the passenger experience, but also make transport infrastructures more exposed to cyber-attacks. In a world driven by digital, having assurance that data and connected systems are protected is a basic requirement to ensure continuous operations for all transport authorities.
This partnership is an important response to the growing digitalization and connectivity in metros and railways. It is also in line with the rail industry's own acknowledgment that cyber threats must be made a priority. This priority is reflected in Europe's new TS 50701 standard and the new US TSA 1580-21-01 and 1582-21-01 Security Directives.
"Operational efficiency and enhanced passenger experience are two clear focuses for Alstom. The increased network integration that is needed to achieve these goals are exposing railway networks to new and evolving threats," said Eddy Thésée, Vice President Cybersecurity at Alstom. "Our partners ability to provide physical protection of OT and control networks while seamlessly integrating those networks with business automation systems has become essential to efficient operation."
"Our global partnership with Alstom is driven by a shared commitment to secure critical infrastructures such as railways, metros, and light train systems," said Lior Frenkel, CEO and Co-Founder at Waterfall. "Together, we bring to public transport operators Waterfall's expertise and technologies, which have been proven and applied in other critical infrastructures, including electric power, oil & gas and water treatment systems. Together, we will support rail operators in their challenge to meet cybersecurity imperatives, standards and legal requirements."

Codecool and SDA merge to become European digital skilling and sourcing powerhouse
Merger creates largest tech training and sourcing hub in Central Europe, providing US and European firms with a new talent pool of IT professionals as skills shortages continue
15 – 20,000 students projected to train annually on B2B and B2C courses, including software development, testing and cybersecurity
Codecool and Software Development Academy (SDA), two leading Central European EduTech companies, today announced a merger to create one of Europe’s biggest digital skilling and sourcing powerhouses.
The merged company has a presence in eight countries (Poland, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Estonia, and Albania) and will train 15,000-20,000 individuals annually and work with nearly 400 global and local brands from the Central European region, with key partners including Accenture, Microsoft, Motorola, Morgan Stanley, Ericsson and Vodafone.
With over 300 employees, 17 digital reskilling pathways, and a network of 1,600 mentors, the merged company offers skilling, upskilling, and reskilling to individuals, companies and governments. For the public sector, Codecool and SDA have undertaken two successful reskilling programs: 10,000 ICT specialists in Albania and 600 engineers in Hungary. The merged company will also continue to encourage and support women in ICT through different programs.
Michał Mysiak, CEO of SDA, who will lead the merged company as the CEO said:
“There is a global battle for digital talent, especially coders and programmers, so our main aim remains to provide high-quality digital skilling for employees and employers – but on a much larger scale. We believe that the combination of Codecool and SDA – with distinct regional and category strengths – will boost the skills level of Central Europeans who are hungry to learn and will be pivotal to the digital transformation of Europe and beyond.”
József Boda, CEO of Codecool said:
“This is an exciting new chapter for both companies where we create a real powerhouse for digitalization. Through our consolidated digital skilling programs, we continue to serve the needs of individuals, companies and governments. Graduates from our courses are in high demand, especially as Western European and US organizations look to outsource or find additional talent while lowering costs.”
Gaining digital skills is a global requirement and the merged company can help the EU and the UK to upskill workers or fill recruitment gaps, especially as it has a 50% annual growth rate in student enrolment. Additionally, more and more companies will have need for digital reskilling programs, adding new, future-proof knowledge to their existing workforces. Today, the newly merged entity is able to support both upskilling and reskilling on a large scale.
The EU is currently struggling with a shortfall of approximately 1.8 million ICT experts, with both missing skills and under-qualification. While the pandemic led to increased demand for cyber skills – there is still a cybersecurity workforce gap of more than 2.72 million positions globally. In the UK, tech job opportunities have hit a ten year high as the demand for skilled workers outgrows the level of digital skills available.
Furthermore, an important goal under the European Commission’s Digital Decade program is to employ 20 million ICT specialists by 2030, with an equal proportion of men and women. To reach this objective, €161 billion will be allocated to innovation and digitalization of EU markets according to the European recovery plan. For instance, Germany will spend €13.3 billion on digital transformation, for France this will be close to €8 billion and €48 billion for Italy. There will be significant resources for Central European countries: for example in Poland 21.3% of the total €35.4 billion recovery fund, so more than €7 billion will be spent on digital transformation alone, in Romania, this is approximately €6 billion while Austria will spend around €1,8 billion.
This European vision can only be achieved with strong sectoral reskilling players, like the merged Codecool and SDA company, that is focusing on the biggest digital talent pool on the continent – the Central European region. In these countries, the population’s interest in getting future-proof, well-paying digital jobs is the highest within the EU.
Michał Mysiak added: “To encourage even more investors to the region there is a need to provide highly skilled ICT professionals in a fast track mode and the merged company is an answer to this need as well as a unique chance for the region to become an emerging ICT service center on a global scale.”
The two companies will keep using their strong consumer brands in their local markets as Codecool and SDA in the near future and will come up with new digital skilling training reflecting the rapidly changing technological environment. Alongside the current eight countries, the merged company will keep expanding into new geographic territories, strengthening its top position in the digital skills training sector.
Codecool is a Budapest based, privately founded, seven-year-old company, present in four countries (HU-PL-RO-AT), with close to 150 employees, having more than 2,000 graduates already, and 300+ corporate partners.
Software Development Academy (SDA) is a Gdynia (Poland) based, privately founded, seven-year-old company present in six countries (PL-RO-EE-CZ-SK-AL), close to 150 employees, having more than 15,000 graduates already, and 100+ corporate partners.

The proprietary building method by Scala will be used across its campuses to significantly reduce construction time and enable the company's expansion to 15 new locations by 2023
SÃO PAULO, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scala Data Centers, the leading Latin American platform of sustainable data centers in the Hyperscale market, announces the launch of FastDeploy. Through a proprietary design and construction methodology created by its Center of Excellence in Engineering, the solution allows implementing data centers up to 50% less time when compared to the traditional model. The scalable solution is highly replicable and is based on prefabricated and transportable modular components which are integrated into buildings at the data center location keeping the same quality and security experience compared to traditional data centers.
Located in metropolitan regions, regional data centers have been gaining relevance, as they serve as a bridge between the large traditional data centers located in central regions and other locations with high population, industrial and intense economic activity concentrations. Close to high density workloads, regional data centers enable the computational processing of various services and applications that require low latency, such as the Metaverse, Internet of Things (IoT), telemedicine, self-driving cars, among others, whose implementation will be accelerated by 5G in Latin America. Currently, there are more than 87 cities in the region with a population of over 500 thousand inhabitants, 26 of which have more than 2 million inhabitants, in addition to relevant economic activity.
"With FastDeploy, our Hyperscale customers will be able to explore new regional and strategic markets in record time, with all the advantages that pioneering brings, scaling their operations as demand grows", explains Marcos Peigo, CEO at Scala. "As FastDeploy's capacity blocks are independent and can be added up on demand, this approach allows for long-term contracts with smooth ramps of growth to higher demands. It will also allow for the implementation of shared buildings, without losing the individualized customization feature that was already available in our single tenant developments, and present in high-capacity buildings", adds the executive.
The first markets to receive the FastDeploy solution will be Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, in Brazil, where the company has already started the construction of two regional data centers with initial capacities of 10.8MW and 7.2MW, respectively. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, Southeast Brazil, the infrastructure is born within a 70,000 square-meter campus to meet the demand of a global cloud provider with expansion planned for a total of 70MW, including all phases, with the addition of two buildings. In Porto Alegre, South of Brazil, the Scala project will be officially launched in early October at an event attended by the city's mayor. The project comprises expansion in the region and is a single-tenant anchored by a large content provider. The new Scala FastDeploy data centers are expected to be operational in first quarter of 2023.
FastDeploy is made up of modular components that provide power and cooling resources ready to support varying densities, reaching more than 20KW per rack. All FastDeploy sites are born with a starting capacity of 2MW, which can be scaled by implementing additional MiniPODs delivering 60 racks per block.
Through a strategic and exclusive agreement with Scala, the smart modular structures are manufactured by Brazilian Modular Data Centers in a modern factory launched in 2022 and which has more than 20,000 square meters of area to support, especially, FastDeploy demands. The manufacturer delivers ready-made, load-tested, commissioned and TIA-942 Ready-certified modular components throughout Latin America.
FastDeploy operates on 100% renewable and certified energy, in line with Scala's portfolio. The solution is also endorsed by the ANSI/TIA-942 Rated 3 standard, which attests to electrical, mechanical, telecom, architecture and safety parameters for the construction and design of data centers. Scala is the only colocation operator in the region to work with this comprehensive standard.

SOUDERTON — The Souderton area has lost a friendly face and an invaluable source of local news and history.
Bob Keeler, the longtime writer, photographer and local historian for the Souderton Independent, passed away Saturday at his Hatfield home. He was 66.
“He was running that paper singlehandedly for a very long time. Nobody else even knows the area like him — that’s his paper,” said former colleague Erin Weaver.
Keeler’s lengthy career included covering Souderton and the greater Indian Valley region for the Souderton Independent, as well as Perkasie and Sellersville for the News-Herald and prior time covering the eastern end of Montgomery County for Montgomery Media.
“He started as a reporter, and then became an editor, and he was really good at what he did. He was an excellent member of the team,” said Tina Hennessey, former executive editor for Montgomery Newspapers.
“Most of the people who worked for us were right out of college, and Bob was able to offer that more senior, professional perspective, which was really valuable. I valued it, for sure,” she said.
He is survived by his mother, Verna Keeler-Martin who lives in Souderton, brothers Ray and Glenn, and sister Cheryl, a son Eric, a stepson Stephen Farnak, and two granddaughters, according to Keeler’s sister-in-law Connie Keeler.
“We were all pretty close — we would do monthly lunches with his mom and the whole family, until COVID hit,” she said.
Charlie Ness, associate pastor at Towamencin Mennonite Church, said Keeler grew up as a member of that church, “and he was a very faithful member: faithful in attendance, faithful in doing whatever he could around the church, and the church ministries.
“He was secretary or treasurer for many years, and therefore he would take attendance of Sunday School classes on Sunday mornings, keep the records and all of that. What’s ironic is that the last Sunday in August was his last completed term: He had just finished,” Ness said.
Keeler also wrote articles several times a year for the congregation to the national church hierarchy about local events and happenings, such as baptisms, summer programs, and other newsworthy events.
“He was very, very diligent and faithful in that,” said Ness. “He was a person who was always there, but wasn’t noticed by a lot of people, because he was always willing to be in the background. He was such an important part of everything he did with us, and we’re really going to miss him.”
Hennessey said Monday that she worked with Keeler for about five years in the late 1990s into the early 2000s, and he was always willing to fill any role.
“I took a year’s sabbatical, and during that time he moved into an editor’s role, and then after I left is when he moved to the Souderton Independent, which is where he ultimately wanted to be,” she said.
“He spent a lot of time with his son, and that differentiated him a little bit among all of these recent graduates — as a parent, and somebody whose perspective was focused on reporting on schools, he saw them differently than the rest of us. I think that was really valuable,” Hennessey said.
Keeler was a friendly face to all who knew him, attending countless parades, tree lightings, municipal and school board meetings, ribbon cuttings, and so much more. Souderton Borough Manager Mike Coll said Monday he considered Keeler “a fixture at just about every borough meeting we had.”
“He definitely put the hours in to get the stories. I always found him to be easy to work with, and his stories were always accurate, and spot-on,” he said.
“Sometimes there were other papers that were trying to get into this coverage area, and a lot of times they would read his article and then call here to create their own article. And I was short with them, because he was always the guy — he put local news in the local paper,” Coll said.
Souderton Area School District Superintendent Frank Gallagher, whose district Keeler reported on extensively, said Monday that “Bob was very committed to the community and took pride in the work he did as a local reporter. He will be missed.”
Former Montgomery Media colleague Betsy Wilson recalled Keeler on Monday as “extremely reliable, and somewhat reserved,” but always plugged in to local happenings.
“I was very aware of how connected he was to the community, and that people reached out to him a lot. He had a very strong connection to the community and was extremely reliable. Just a good guy,” she said.
Former Montgomery Media photographer Bob Raines said Monday that he worked alongside Keeler for about a decade, “and you just got so used to seeing him around.”
“He struck me as kind of shy for a reporter, but he was just the type that people liked to talk to,” Raines said.
As the news industry shifted to a digital focus with local offices shuttered and consolidated and downsized newsrooms, Keeler took every change in stride, using everything from Flip handheld video cameras to Facebook and Twitter accounts to bring the 144-year-old Independent into the digital age. He posted on Twitter “In Retrospect” articles each week recalling local headlines from decades earlier.
After the sudden passing of then-Independent editor Emily Morris in 2012, Keeler presented her family with an Independent t-shirt Morris had made. He kept a poster on his desk in The Reporter newsroom of a much larger local news team from years before.
Hennessey recalled her favorite Bob story on Monday, laughing as she remembered when the Montgomery Media papers held a holiday party and the always-low-key Keeler won a stylish present.
“One year, he won a gift certificate for a men’s clothing store, which was just so funny because he was not into fashion at all. It was some fashionable store, at the mall or somewhere, and he won the gift certificate, which just made us all laugh,” she said.
And Weaver, now a senior director of audience and analytics for The New Yorker, recalled working alongside Keeler for just under a year as one of his last protegees, while both were beat writers for The Independent.
“He taught me the responsibilities of being a reporter. That was my first job, and he was just such a wealth of knowledge about the area. He just really loved being a reporter, and really loved being a reporter for the Souderton Independent,” she said.
Whenever Weaver covered local events, she recalled, “they thought it was weird when I would come around: they were like, ‘Where’s Bob? Who are you?’ He seemed to know everything that was happening before anyone else did, and when I needed sources for stories, it was like, ‘Can I just use Bob as my source?'”
What lessons did he teach a younger generation?
“He was so welcoming to me, even though it was his beat and his paper, he was just so wonderful to work with,” Weaver said. “He was always so happy to share a story, or share a byline, and teach me who’s who, and bounce ideas off of each other. Just always so relentlessly positive, and such a wonderful person to be around.”
Tom Celona, editor of the Independent and the News-Herald from 2012 to 2019, remembered Keeler as “a kind, quiet, reliable presence around the newsroom.
“His dedication to local journalism and to the communities he covered served as an example to others. He was always willing to go above and beyond to ensure readers were informed about their community. His passing is a great loss for the Indian Valley and Pennridge communities, and he will be greatly missed,” Celona said.
Current editor Nancy March echoed those comments.
“Bob was a truly wonderful local journalist who appreciated and understood the communities he covered,” she said. “He was tireless and hard-working, putting the needs of the paper and the towns he covered above all else. He leaves a hole in these towns, in our profession, and in our hearts as a friend that will not easily be filled.”
Former colleagues also remembered Keeler in a post on the North Penn Reporter Alumni Facebook page: former staff writer Tony DiDomizio said Keeler “was a great co-worker and even greater writer,” and former writer Brian Bingaman said his passing was “a big loss to the community.” Edith Adam said, “Everywhere I go in my adopted hometown of Souderton-Telford, people know him. Condolences to his family and all of you.”
Former staff writer Linda Stein said, “What a shame. He was such a nice guy,” and former online editor Andy Stettler said “He was a really great guy. I always loved listening to his ‘In Retrospect’ podcasts, and reading them too! Thanks for your service to our community, Bob.”
A memorial service for Keeler will be held on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 2:30 p.m. at Towamencin Mennonite Church, 1980 Sumneytown Pike in Towamencin, with family receiving friends from 1 to 2 p.m. Internment will be private, and memorial contributions can be made in his name to Towamencin Mennonite Church, 1980 Sumneytown Pike, P.O. Box 225, Kulpsville PA 19443.

The Whim
The Whim
Events operations that weathered the surges and storms in the last couple years are forging onward to new frontiers with venues opening new sister sites, planners putting their expertise into blueprints, and restaurants expanding to encompass new event spaces. Inspired by unprecedented demand, new venues aren’t dreamed up by novices but chiseled and elevated by industry experts. Read on for new locales we’re falling in love with.
The Whim
From the smarties behind local planners Blush and Whim comes Northeast Minneapolis’s newest locale (pictured above).
Two words for this space: natural light. Call it a blank slate—the venue’s brick walls are doused in white, capped in 14-foot ceilings, and sprinkled with black-accented windows. Built-in arched shelves and modular light fixtures soften the industrial vibes and provide a display area for photos or layering in textured florals. The whole space holds 350 people for a seated reception and 600-plus standing.
Dreaming of silk robes and champagne? Two suites are ready-made for makeup and mimosas. And two mixed-use spaces can serve as cocktail hour digs, photo booth stations, dessert displays, or a quiet rest area. It offers on-site parking, which, in Minneapolis, is the exception, not the rule. And can you have a patio without string lights? The Whim says no.
655 19th Ave. NE, Mpls., 612-202-9207, thewhimevents.com

Equestria West
Equestria West
Equestria West
You’ve met her older sister, the Edward Anne Estate. Sharing the sprawling 270-acre Bavaria Downs property in Chaska, Equestria West is slated to open next spring. The mansion includes two ballrooms, both with stone-clad floor-to-ceiling fireplaces. Glass doors in each ballroom spill out into the courtyard with a fountain, gardens, and trees swathed in lights. (Hint: The courtyard can serve as a ceremony location!)
Another ceremony location is tucked into the estate’s forest, complete with wooden benches and not far from the Equestria building. An indoor-outdoor bar is at your service for your signature cocktails.
Dual getting-ready suites are the new standard for venues, and here, the Belmont Suite for the bride has a wall of mirrors, gold swivel chairs, and its own private Tuscan garden—just say “Cinderella.” 3913 Bavaria Rd., Chaska, 952-443-2968, bavariadowns.com
Noa
You’ve posted up at Fairgrounds Coffee in the North Loop so many times, they know your name. For a change of space, meet Noa: the new face by the team behind FG, inside the former Mission American Kitchen in the IDS Center. We’re here for the Cali coast–inspired menu and earthy look (no shortage of plants and boho décor here!) at this restaurant event space that can hold 250 people. Psst—the new Cardigan Donuts is also inside the IDS. Do we hear dessert calling our name?
The citrus wheel garnish on top: The Noa team will quite literally bring the party to you via their catering operation.
77 S. 7th St., Mpls., 612-886-2194, noaminneapolis.com
Northwest Greenway Pavilion
On the 350-acre wooded nature preserve of Northwest Greenway in Plymouth, the newly built open-air park pavilion opened last year and is now available for rentals. The greenroom is available for events, and cool photos are guaranteed with nearby boardwalks overlooking the Elm Creek wetlands. 5250 Peony Ln. N., Plymouth, plymouthmn.gov
Four Seasons
Much well-deserved pomp has surrounded the opening of Minneapolis’s first five-star hotel. But the luxe hotel also houses two ballrooms and several smaller event spaces, gathered on the second level with skyway access and trimmed in elegance characteristic of the Four Seasons name.
For a sky garden party, the fourth-floor outdoor Riva Plaza has lounge furniture, trees, and lush landscaping. The whole terrace—including pool plaza and restaurant—can be reserved for bigger bashes.
The hotel’s 200-plus rooms are begging for a return to slumber parties with a side of posh amenities, plus nosh from Gavin Kaysen’s newest kitchens, Mara and Socca, within the Four Seasons. 245 Hennepin Ave., Mpls., 612-895-5700, fourseasons.com/minneapolis
The Lowlands
When Paikka’s new venture first landed on our radar, it was slated for a spring 2022 opening. That has been pushed to this fall, and the space is finally coming together. Textured walls, exposed wood ceilings, and cement floors whisper “West Coast,” and natural light beams through floor-to-ceiling windows.
The finished celebration spot will have a custom stained-glass window and a curved grand staircase for all the dramatic entrances and photos your artsy heart could desire. The lower-level bar will have a glowing indoor terrarium—sounds like our kind of plant paradise. Speaking of flora, two Green Rooms serve as loungey getting-ready spaces.
This is a big beauty, holding 250 seated and 400 standing, plus an outdoor terrace with views of downtown St. Paul. 160 S. Wabasha St., St. Paul, thelowlands.com

Woodhaven
Woodhaven
Woodhaven
Vaulted ceilings, huge windows, and minimalist design with clean lines—how did this swoon-worthy space slip past us? On a golf course in southeastern Minny, Woodhaven opened in May 2021, complete with an indoor ceremony space and reception area for up to 350 guests.
The wedding party lounge space has shuffleboard and a smart TV. Two suites on-site ensure plenty of space for pre-party primping. And with golf nearby, we don’t have to ask where the guys will be.
Bonus points for design here: The windows are run higher along the walls, meaning you get blank walls for a backdrop but plenty of natural light still washing over the space. 26155 Nicolai Ave., Cannon Falls, 507-263-2507, woodhavenmn.com
Tap In
The newest development of New Rules, a collective working to develop overlooked and underused spaces in Black communities, is Tap In on Lowry Avenue in north Minneapolis. The former site of a SuperAmerica is being transformed into a space for craft cocktails and conversation, with an event space inside—on track for a July open as of press time.

Great North Yoga Show aims to inspire people in the North East to take up the practice
A former teacher who set up her own yoga enterprise is bringing a first-of-its-kind show to the North East as it encourages all to discover the benefits of practice.
Yoga Wellbeing will be bringing ‘The Great North Yoga Show’ to the North East in October as teachers from the area encourage everyone to get involved and discover the benefits yoga can offer.
The event will feature 20 local teachers, 12 exhibition stands, and even yoga disco, open to all ages and abilities.
Yoga Wellbeing was launched by former school teacher Sara Jobling, 64, who has over 38 years experience practising and teaching yoga.
Most Popular
After teaching yoga part time for over 20 years, Sara took a leap of faith and founded Yoga Wellbeing in 2011 and was inspired to create the Great North Yoga Show after visiting a similar show in London.
She said: “The Great North Yoga Show is not an elite event. The show is for everyone. Total beginners who perhaps fancied trying yoga but didn’t know where to start, can get a fantastic introduction all under one roof. We even want to appeal to those who think yoga is not their cup of tea.
"Activities at the show range from gentle and relaxing to dynamic and intense. Many people will be surprised at how many different styles of yoga are out there.”
Sara previously taught biology in secondary schools but found a passion for yoga and took it on full time.
The new event will offer more than 30 hours of yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breathing techniques and other activities to the people of the North East.
Sara said training yoga teachers is a great passion.
“Seeing younger people with a love of yoga blossoming into amazing teachers who simply want to pass on their love of yoga to others is a great reward,” she said.
The event will also offer sound bathing, crystal healing, cosmetics, gifts and local art workshops.
The Great North Yoga show will take place on Saturday, October 22 at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead with tickets available from £40. More information can be found at https://greatnorthyoga.co.uk/

- RDARS Begins Production of Eagle Eye and Eagle Nest in Canada
TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - RDARS Inc. ("RDARS" or the "Company") (CSE: RDRS), an autonomous robotics and drone technology company developing advanced autonomous drone and robotic systems for alarm system augmentation and surveillance, is pleased to announce that it has opened a manufacturing facility in Pickering, Ontario, for the production of its Eagle Eye and Eagle Nest products. This achievement is another commitment by the Company to produce its products in Canada. "We find that the highly skilled technology labour pool that is required for this advanced manufacturing process is available in Canada, and we are proud of this step we are taking. To be able to say made in Canada is an honour, and we believe that the stability of Canada, without all the risks of the geopolitical turmoil and supply chain disruptions, is important for the Company at this stage of its evolution" said Charles Zwebner, CEO and Director of the Company. Both products are part of the Eagle Watch Platform and underscores the Company's commitment to bringing its advanced drone, artificial intelligent, and robotic technologies to market in very short order.
This significant milestone is another critical piece of the Company's continued fast growth. "The opening of this new facility, with its staff of Canadian employees, is a most important phase of our development process. As disclosed in the Company's final long-form prospectus dated August 26, 2022, available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, the Company will be immediately producing 20 systems which will be imminently made available for deployment into selected locations for testing purposes to achieve certifications for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flight missions with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada.
Canada is a major player in the aerospace and defense markets, and RDARS is poised to contribute to this industry, developing advanced cutting-edge technology systems. The Company's flagship product, the Eagle Watch Platform, is comprised of Eagle Eye, a drone, Eagle Nest, a drone station, Eagle Rover, an indoor robotic system, and Eagle Watch Command & Control Software.
RDARS is a disruptive technology that is redefining the security industry's approach to protecting properties, by introducing protection with autonomous artificial intelligent systems that allow for real time response, situation awareness, verification, intervention, evidence recording, data capture, analysis, and immediate downstream transmissions to the public safety agencies. RDARS has the ability upon a breach of a security in real time to receive, analyze, and downstream the data and inform the public safety agencies who the perpetrators are before they even get to the property.
Eagle Watch is comprised of a drone, a drone station, and indoor robotic system called Eagle Rover and a software application called Eagle Watch, which acts as a command-and-control environment to manage, maintain and control all remote systems around the globe. The Eagle Watch Platform represents a departure from the current commercial drone systems, as it was designed specifically for automated alarm response and provides a high degree of situational awareness for a fraction of the current cost of any competing technology. Enterprise and government end users can rely on Eagle Watch to provide immediate alarm response, on-demand patrols, scheduled patrols and archived video for later analysis or historical requirements.
Founded in 2019, RDARS is an OEM manufacturer of the Eagle Watch Platform. Its autonomous robotic systems are known for providing situational awareness in a cost effective and reliable manner. The Company's mission is to improve alarm response and situational awareness, obtain approvals from federal regulatory agencies for beyond visual line of sight operations.

Record heat overwhelms California power grid; rolling blackouts increasingly likely
SAN FRANCISCO -- California baked with the hottest temperatures of the year Tuesday afternoon and its highest chance of blackouts this year as a brutal heat wave continues to blanket the state with triple-digit temperatures.
The California Independent Systems Operator (CAISO) issued a Energy Emergency Alert 2 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday. The second of three emergency alert stages means taking emergency energy-saving measures "such as tapping backup generators, buying more power from other states and using so-called demand response programs," according to CAISO.
The ISO was expected to declare an EEA 3 around 5:30 p.m., one step away from ordering rotating power outages.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said the current heat wave is on track to be both the hottest and longest on record in California for September. State energy officials said the electrical load Tuesday afternoon could top 51,000 megawatts, the highest demand the state has ever seen.
As people crank up their air conditioners, the state forecasted record levels of energy use, said Elliot Mainzer, president of California Independent System Operators, which runs the state's electrical grid. The state has additional energy capacity at the moment "but blackouts, rolling, rotating outages are a possibility," Mainzer said, calling additional conservation "absolutely essential."
The CAISO site Tuesday morning showed California could fall more than 5,000 megawatts short of its power supply at peak demand, forecasted for 5:30 pm.
California's energy grid runs on a mix of mostly solar and natural gas during the day, along with some imports of power from other states. But solar power begins to fall off during the late afternoon and into the evening, which is the hottest time of day in some parts of the state. And some of the aging natural gas plants California relies on for backup power aren't as reliable in hot weather.
KPIX 5 First Alert Weather: Current Conditions, Forecasts, Alerts For Your Area
CAISO also issued a Flex Alert call for voluntary conservation between 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday , making seven alerts in as many days. Consumers were urged to keep air conditioners at 78 degrees (25.5 degrees C) or higher during the period and avoiding using major appliances such as ovens and dishwashers.
At CAISO's request on Monday, four temporary emergency power generators deployed by the Department of Water Resources in Roseville and Yuba City were activated for the first time since they were installed last year, providing up to 120 megawatts, enough electricity for 120,000 homes.
The efforts have worked to keep the lights on "but we have now entered the most intense phase of this heat wave" that could last into the week, and two to three times the level of conservation will be needed from people and businesses, Mainzer said.
ALSO READ: Where to find cooling centers in the Bay Area during heat wave
In addition, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) extended a Spare the Air Alert for smog through Wednesday as the heat wave combined with motor vehicle exhaust will produce unhealthy ozone levels.
"Unfortunately, there is more extreme heat and smog on the horizon for the Bay Area this week," said a prepared statement from Sharon Landers, the BAAQMD interim executive officer. "With packed Bay Area roads and record heat, we should all take steps to reduce traffic congestion by choosing transit or working remotely to protect our air and public health."
Several hundred thousand Californians lost power in rolling blackouts in August 2020 amid hot weather, but the state avoided a similar scenario last summer. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Friday that could allow the state's last remaining nuclear plant to stay open beyond its planned 2025 closure, to ensure more power.
The National Weather Service predicted highs between 100 and 115 degrees (37.7 C and 46.1 C) across inland California, with 80s to 90s (above 26.6 C and below 37.2 C) closer to the coast. Nighttime won't bring much relief, with many places seeing lows in the 80s or even 90s (above 26.6 C and below 37.2 C).

Wireless Industry Competition Drives Rapid 5G Expansion, Lower Consumer Prices
Download the full report to read more.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. wireless industry invested nearly $35 billion to grow, improve and run their networks in 2021, according to CTIA's 2022 Annual Wireless Industry Survey. The record-high investment marked the fourth straight year of increased capital expenditure.
This record investment is driving unparalleled results: 5G networks now cover over 315 million Americans, one-in-three American adults have a 5G device, and 5G is now the fastest-growing segment of the home broadband market. Wireless industry competition also helped keep prices low during a period of rampant inflation. While prices across industries are increasing, the cost of wireless decreased, continuing a 10-year trend that has seen the price of wireless service drop 43% with speeds increasing to 85 times faster. Survey results again showed increases in wireless data use, cell sites and data-only devices—indicators of the ongoing shift to the 5G Economy.
"Wireless is America's most competitive industry, and that competition continues to spur record levels of investment to build the world's leading 5G networks," said Meredith Attwell Baker, CTIA President and CEO. "Wireless competition is also continuing to benefit consumers—pushing wireless prices down and bringing real competition to cable."
CTIA's comprehensive annual industry survey has tracked the evolution of the wireless industry since 1985. This year's key findings show:
- Extraordinary, Sustained Wireless Investment. Since the launch of 5G in 2018, wireless providers have invested nearly $121 billion in their networks, and $635 billion over the life of the wireless industry.
- America's Demand for Wireless Data Shows No Sign of Slowing. In 2021, mobile wireless data traffic skyrocketed to 53.4 trillion megabytes. The 11.2 trillion megabyte increase over 2020 alone is 1.5 trillion megabytes more than consumers used in all of 2015.
- More Cell Sites Mean a Faster 5G Rollout. The nationwide rollout of 5G happened twice as fast as 4G, as infrastructure reforms continue to pay dividends. As wireless providers lay the physical foundation for our 5G Economy, they have added nearly 70,000 active cell sites since the FCC and state legislators modernized key siting regulations.
- Trillions of Texts and Calls. In 2021, American consumers exchanged 2 trillion messages, more than 63,644 per second. And even with texting at their fingertips, millions of consumers still use voice calls to talk to friends and family daily—amounting to 2.4 trillion minutes of use in 2021.
- Expanding 5G Networks Mean Explosive Device Growth. Consumers have embraced 5G technology, as the number of connected 5G devices grew 513% this year to 85 million.

House prices are falling. Confidence is edging up. Is it a good time to buy?
Home buyers have a stronger chance of getting into the property market this spring than during the pandemic-era boom, but experts are mixed about whether even better buying opportunities lie ahead.
While some economists say the benefit of property price falls has been largely cancelled out by the rising cost of home loans and it will take time for affordability to improve, other industry figures say potential buyers have more homes to choose from and less competition now.
Housing sentiment has edged up from its historic lows, but the mood on the ground is still downbeat, the Westpac-Melbourne Institute Index of Consumer Sentiment, released on Tuesday, found.
The ‘Time to buy a dwelling’ measure rose 2.9 per cent in the past month, but is still in pessimistic territory, where it has been for the last six months. At 80.5 points, it is down 39 per cent from its peak in November 2020.
Another indicator showed more consumers expect house prices to rise over the next 12 months than to fall. The House Price Expectation Index also rose by 3.6 per cent to 100.6 points, nudging back into positive territory.
This was largely driven by NSW (up 6.2 per cent) and Victoria (up 33 per cent). It was down sharply elsewhere, including Queensland (down 13.9 per cent) and Western Australia (down 13.1 per cent) where price falls have been modest to date in comparison.
At the same time, Commonwealth Bank released its latest Household Spending Intentions Index, which showed a modest improvement in housing-related confidence.
Its Home Buying Index rose 10 per cent in August after two previous months of declines, but remains 23.6 per cent lower year-on-year.
Westpac senior economist Matthew Hassan said rapid interest rate rises have hampered buyers’ power in the market.
“Your ability to borrow is constrained, and it doesn’t compensate for the price correction you’re seeing today,” Hassan said.
“Lower prices aren’t going to draw buyers out into the market until they get more comfort around interest rates; that they are not going to go higher, and they may fall.”
Once rate rises top out and stabilise, buyers will see an improvement in affordability, Hassan said.
But some buyer’s agents took a different view, saying there are plenty of good opportunities to buy property now as there are more homes for sale to choose from and less competition from other buyers than during the boom.
They encouraged buyers to focus on choosing the best home for them rather than trying to time the market.
In Sydney, which has led the downturn, senior buyer’s agent Paul Wilcox at Oasis Skeen said it was a good time to buy for homeowners who have finance approved, even if there are some further price falls on the cards.
“It’s always a good time to buy when you want to buy or you’re comfortable in your job. The market should not dictate when you should buy,” Wilcox said.
But he said if buyers were trying to time the market, then Sydney already had more favourable conditions.
“Prices have come down circa 15 per cent [in some pockets of Sydney], there’s limited competition. You’re not overpaying for a property in a buyers’ market,” Wilcox said.
“In a booming market, everything sells on main roads, south-facing backyards because people have to make a quick decision or a compromise.
“In a soft market they have more time and can be a little bit more selective buying the right home.”
He said buyers should take the long-term view of buying the home they need for their life stage rather than trying to time the bottom of the market.
In Melbourne, where property values have not fallen quite as far as in Sydney, Wakelin Property Advisory director Jarrod McCabe said this spring offers a good opportunity for potential buyers as more homes are listed for sale.
“It’s been a pretty frustrating two or three months because there hasn’t been much to look at, but we’ve started to see a little bit more coming on,” he said.
The limited supply of homes for sale has helped auction clearance rates to hold up, but he expects auction results to weaken as spring progresses.
There are fewer bidders around to compete with than during the boom, which he said can be good news for buyers. But some parties are caught off guard when they realise there is still competition for the most desirable homes, he said.
He is not convinced there will be a better market for buyers coming around the corner. If prices fall much further, home owners who do not have to sell will hold on to their properties, which will reduce the choice on offer, he said.
He said it is more important for buyers to purchase a good quality property than to pick the bottom of the market, and some homes listed for sale now need renovations or have other compromises.
“Asset selection is always more important than trying to buy at the right time,” he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Carolina Herrera breathed spring back to life at Monday's New York Fashion Week show with a romantic portrayal of nature and beauty, accentuating that the brand's modern and striking feminine aesthetics work for every woman throughout the seasons and decades.
Inspired by one of his favorite childhood novels, “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett, designer Wes Gordon said that “in a world that can be dark and scary and unpredictable, it’s okay for some things to just be pure joy and beauty."
"That’s what this morning was about,” he added.
The Plaza Hotel ballroom's grand elegance boomed with Barbara Streisand’s classic “Funny Girl" hit “Don't Rain on My Parade,” complementing the romantic bliss emanating from the maximalist hand-painted tea roses and peonies gowns, mini-dresses and matching bucket hats and denim jumpsuits worn by models adorned with a classic crimson red lip and, in some cases, chunky, droopy earrings.
“I really created a palette of five beautiful floral prints, that I reimagined in lots of different scales and colorways," Gordon said. "I view this collection as a garden.”
Gordon and his team skillfully handcrafted a multitude of looks starting with the opening gown, a striped cotton blouse paired with a taffeta ball skirt, illustrating a whimsical high-class gardener vibe in line with true Herrera fashion.
Models Stella Maxwell and Karlie Kloss each had two separate looks. Maxwell shined in a mini yellow taxicab-colored floral dress while Kloss' height accentuated her second look, a long sleeve, yellow peony trench gown.
Sitting in the front row were Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Martha Stewart and singers Ellie Goulding, Sabrina Carpenter and Becky G.
Standout pieces included a bold dramatic body-hugging column dress with a large rosette sleeve, which was seen on actress Kate Hudson the previous night at the Toronto Film Festival. Another eye-catching moment featured a mini yellow tent dress that almost looked like it was floating on the model.
But the showstopper was Precious Lee's closing gown, a strapless, bodysuit black silk chiffon dress trimmed with tulle. Lee held the extravagant train with her hands as she closed the show.
Gordon emphasized that Herrera's ability to evolve each season is because of the brand's ability to listen, specifically to women.
“It’s not hard to evolve with the times if you just pay attention to women who wear your clothes,” Gordon said.

Community events take place September 14, with exclusive savings programs throughout the weekend
GREENSBORO, N.C., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of a continued commitment to support education and strengthen local communities, Tanger Outlets announces its 2022 TangerKids Grants winners. This fall, Tanger will enable $160,000 in classroom investments through the TangerKids Grants program. More than half of grant funding is allocated to teacher-led initiatives designed to support more inclusive classroom environments for underserved schools and student populations.
"Enabling opportunity for all is a top priority throughout Tanger," said Tanger Outlets Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer Leslie Swanson. "This year, we exceeded our goal of dedicating 55% of TangerKids Grants to programs focused on building more inclusive classrooms… a mission we wholeheartedly celebrate."
For the past 26 years, Tanger has donated more than $3.1 million in grants and scholarships, funding projects directly requested by teachers that enhance learning environments and support students' success both in and out of the classroom. This initiative, along with the Tanger Hometown Heroes program, is one of many that Tanger implements annually to support educators— and all local heroes — within its communities.
Tanger Outlets expanded the TangerKids Grants program to include new elements for 2022. For the first time, TangerClub members were invited to vote in a Member Choice poll, allowing them to join Tanger in making a positive impact by helping to select the winning projects, which were all submitted by local teachers. Through this new program layer, 10 grant recipients will be awarded additional project funding, with the top five receiving $1,000 and the remaining five each receiving $500.
In addition to awarding more than 140 grants nationwide, Tanger is also launching its inaugural TangerKids Day on September 14. Tanger team members across North America will visit grant recipients at their schools to present them with a check and celebration event, honoring the schools' educators and students. Tanger has also empowered its team members to recognize TangerKids Day by participating in volunteer events and actively giving back to schools in their own communities. These festivities will be extended to Tanger shoppers, as centers celebrate throughout the weekend with onsite activations and special offers from participating brands.

The new facility, once fully open later this calendar year, will be CSL's largest R&D site under one roof, with more than 500 team members working in a state-of-the-art facility offering access to promising scientific partners and talent.
MARBURG, Germany, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After three years of construction, global biotechnology leader CSL (ASX: CSL; USOTC: CSLLY), today, inaugurated its new EUR 150 million research and development (R&D) site on the grounds of the research campus in Marburg's Görzhausen Industrial Park. Covering around 40,000 square meters, the M600 R&D center provides space for up to 500 R&D employees, making it CSL's largest R&D center worldwide and combining all disciplines under one roof.
"Investing in Marburg makes sense for us as this region helped shape CSL today," said Paul Perreault, CSL CEO and Managing Director. "The building complex was constructed using state-of-the-art technologies in accordance with strict sustainability criteria and will make Marburg, Central Hesse, and Hesse a beacon of biotechnology far beyond the state and national borders."
The new R&D building also offers space for collaboration partners from all over the world. R&D centers like M600, strategically located near universities, institutes, and biomedical centers, have the advantage of providing efficient access to external talent.
"The science and innovation taking place in Marburg and across the region will help us to shape CSL's future in a sustainable way, and we hope that it will drive further development of the region into a globally recognized innovation center," said Dr. Bill Mezzanotte, Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer for CSL. "The new R&D hub will continue to play a critical role in the global R&D investment strategy for CSL."
Marburg is an area of the world important to CSL as its CSL Behring business has an industry-leading manufacturing presence, and the company's history is rooted in the town.
"It's here where Emil von Behring, one of the founders of our CSL Behring business unit who won the first Nobel Prize in Medicine for pioneering the use of plasma to treat patients suffering from diphtheria, lived and worked", said Perreault. "While plasma remains one of our strategic scientific platforms, we have evolved and innovated over the decades – also discovering, developing, and delivering medicines and vaccines across the scientific platforms of Recombinant Technology, Cell and Gene Therapy, and Cell-based, egg-based, adjuvanted, and sa-mRNA vaccines. The science and innovation that takes place here will help us continue to build CSL's promising future in a sustainable way and, we hope, will help drive the evolution of Marburg as a global center for innovation for patients into the future."
About CSL R&D's Campus in Marburg
Construction of CSL's new M600 research and development (R&D) center in Marburg, Germany, began in November 2019 and will be completed later this calendar year. The R&D campus is nearly 40,000 sqm in size and includes 7,000 sqm of laboratory space, 7,000 sqm of workspace, and 800 sqm of space for startups from the region. It will also provide space for around 500 CSL research and development employees as well as academic and cooperation partners.
For CSL, responsible handling and efficient use of natural resources are key to sustainable growth. This includes integrating environmental considerations into all key business decisions, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing waste generation through prevention, reduction, and recycling.
Thus, sustainability was also at the forefront of the design of the new R&D building. The construction of the R&D campus was planned in accordance with the KfW (German government investment and development bank) eligibility criteria for green financing. The investment is also in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals No. 7 - affordable and clean energy - and No. 13 - climate protection. Special features of the modern energy concept include equipping the building with an ice storage system and heat pumps.
M600 is equipped with advanced laboratories and state-of-the-art technical resources and combines various forms of working areas for active work under one roof. In addition, the building also houses laboratory space for external collaborators, contributing to a thriving R&D ecosystem and promoting innovation at the Marburg site.
Overall, CSL's global Research and Development organization is growing, with more than 2,000 R&D employees in nine countries around the world – in addition to Marburg, the company has an R&D presence in Melbourne, Australia; Bern, Switzerland; Amsterdam, Netherlands, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; Pasadena, California, and Waltham, Massachusetts – helping to create an integrated global organization that can conveniently collaborate with institutions everywhere -- offering access to professional development opportunities and enhancing external innovation.
