ETI urges brands to consider cutting ties with Myanmar suppliers amid army coup
2 hours ago
The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) has urged fashion retailers to reconsider their connections with suppliers in Myanmar, a country which has been under political turmoil since its army’s coup against the government in February 2021.
The situation has brought up concerns of whether the country can meet the international standards of workers’ rights and responsible business guidelines in its current position.
In response, ETI commissioned Due Diligence Design to conduct an independent assessment of the unfolding situation in line with standards set by the United Nations (UN).
Ultimately, the organisation has said that its Base Code standards are currently not being met by Myanmar’s garment sector, impacting businesses’ abilities to carry out normal human rights due diligence.
According to the report, there was “evidence of forced labour and exploitation at a sector level”, with workers also “unable to exercise their right to freedom” in alignment with international labour standards, among other alleged violations.
In its press release, the ETI said: “Military action has placed substantial limitations on civic freedom, preventing civil society and the international organisations upon which responsible business can usually rely, from operating as normal.”
The firm is recommending that companies which are involved in garment manufacturing in the region should “reassess their presence”. It further noted that if they wish to continue following the UN’s principles they must ensure the group’s Base Code is applied in all of their supplier factories.
The initiative added: “Should companies choose to exit Myanmar they must do so responsibly, and in consultation with social partners. The impact of exiting Myanmar on workers and their families, needs to be a clear focus in this consultation.”

70+ Starbucks In Quebec Now Finally Let You Order Ahead & Pay From Your Phone
Skip the line, sip your latte.☕
If you've ever shown up to class or work late with a coffee in hand (#priorities), then you're going to want to try Starbucks' new way to keep you on time and caffeinated. The chain is introducing a Mobile Order and Pay system at over 70 participating Quebec cafés. The app lets you order and pay for your drink without the hassle of waiting in line. You'll also know exactly when your drink is ready for pick-up, thanks to a new prep time feature.
"Mobile Order & Pay enables customers to choose which experience is right for them as they go about their day, save time, get their favourite Starbucks beverage and food items, and enjoy StarbucksRewards in a new, much more rewarding way," said Starbucks Canada director of operations in Quebéc Loic Lebrat.
You can make use of Mobile Order & Pay by downloading the Starbucks app and setting up your Rewards account (if you don't already have one). It just takes your name, email and password to set up.
To place an order, you'll need to have location services enabled. There's an "Order" button at the bottom of the screen where you can customize what you want and pick the store for your pick-up. The app estimates wait time.
App-based orders have doubled since the company first introduced the mobile pre-order feature in 2015. Mobile Order & Pay now makes up over 20% of transactions at participating Canadian stores.
Starbucks Rewards members automatically have access to the feature in the Starbucks app and can redeem Stars for free food or beverages.

New date revealed for Ipswich Half Marathon after postponement
- Credit: Sarah Lucy brown
A new date has been announced for the Larking Gowen Ipswich Half Marathon after it was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Last Friday, it was confirmed by organisers that the event would be rescheduled as the nation entered a period of mourning for the Queen.
The race was due to start at 9.30am last Sunday, at Portman Road.
However, the event will now be going ahead on Sunday, October 23.
The route will take runners down Duke Street, through Ipswich Waterfront and then along Cliff Lane.
Continuing around the River Orwell, runners will head to Wherstead Road, back along Grafton Way before reaching the big finish at Portman Road stadium.
It is likely that road closures will be put in place on the day of the race.
At the time of the postponement last week, a statement on the Run For All's website reads: "It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Her Majesty The Queen.
"As the nation enters a period of mourning, we write to advise that the decision has been taken to postpone the Run For All Ipswich Half Marathon this weekend.
"When possible, we will provide further information about a new date for the event.

CHICAGO — R. Kelly's lead attorney gets her chance Tuesday to deliver her closing argument to federal jurors in Chicago, a day after a prosecutor told them that weeks of evidence proved the singer parlayed his fame to sexually abuse minors and record the abuse on video.
Kelly faces charges including production of child pornography, enticing minor girls for sex and obstruction of justice by rigging his 2008 child pornography trial in state court, at which he was acquitted. Jurors were expected to began deliberating later Tuesday.
In her closing, prosecutor Elizabeth Pozolo described Kelly as a secret sexual predator.
"Robert Kelly abused many girls over many years," she said, referring to the 55-year-old Grammy winner by his full first name. "He committed horrible crimes against children. ... All these years later, the hidden side of Robert Kelly has come out."
Kelly attorney Jennifer Bonjean twice called for a mistrial Monday, complaining that closing arguments by attorneys for Kelly co-defendants Derrell McDavid and Milton Brown were grounded in the presumption that "the world now knows Mr. Kelly is a sex predator."
"The presumption of innocence has been abolished for him," Bonjean said, meaning Kelly was unable to get a fair trial. Judge Harry Leinenweber denied the requests.
Prosecutors will have the opportunity for a short rebuttal after Bonjean gives her closing argument in Kelly's hometown of Chicago, where he rose from poverty to become an R&B superstar.
Known for his smash hit "I Believe I Can Fly" and for sex-infused songs such as "Bump n' Grind," Kelly sold millions of albums even after allegations of sexual misconduct began circulating in the 1990s. Widespread outrage emerged after the #MeToo reckoning and the 2019 docuseries "Surviving R. Kelly."
Kelly and McDavid, Kelly's former business manager, are accused of fixing the 2008 trial by intimidating and paying off witnesses. Both face child pornography charges. Brown, a former Kelly associate, is accused of receiving child pornography.
Kelly was sentenced in June to 30 years in prison after a separate federal trial in New York, where he was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking. Convictions on just a few of the 13 counts Kelly faces at his current trial could add years to his imprisonment.
Pozolo focused much of her closing argument on the government's star witness, an accuser who went by "Jane" and who said Kelly sexually abused her hundreds of times starting when she was 14.
"He performed degrading acts upon her for his own sick pleasure," Pozolo said.
She reminded jurors of graphic video footage they had watched, which Jane testified depicted Kelly, at around age 30, abusing her when she was 14. The videos shown included one at the heart Kelly's 2008 trial. Jurors said later they had no choice but to acquit Kelly because Jane didn't testify.
"Who does that? Who uses a 14-year-old child to film a video like this?" she said. "This man. Robert Kelly."
Before Kelly's 2008 trial, Pozolo said, Kelly and his associates scrambled to recover multiple sex videos that had gone missing from a collection he often carried around in a large gym bag.
By doing so, she said, Kelly associates sought "to cover up the fact that ... R. Kelly, the R&B superstar, is actually a sexual predator."
In his closing, an attorney for McDavid said prosecutors had to show that his client actually knew about any abuse of Jane by Kelly in the 2000s — not just that it was likely he knew.
"Did they prove he knew ... behind a reasonable doubt?" Beau Brindley asked. "They did not."
Pozolo balked at the idea that McDavid had no inkling in the 2000s that the abuse allegations might be credible after helping to recover missing recordings and handing bags of cash to people who returned videos McDavid knew could destroy Kelly.

Paxos white paper uncovers unique factors driving millions of Latin Americans to adopt digital assets
NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Paxos, the leading regulated blockchain infrastructure platform, published "What's Driving the Immense Growth of Crypto in Latin America?", a new white paper that delves into the consumer and market trends fueling adoption of digital assets in the region. Following the successful integration of crypto into numerous Latin American fintech apps like Mercado Libre, Nubank, PicPay and others, Paxos sought to understand the drivers behind the region's robust embrace of cryptocurrency. Crypto usage in Latin America has increased by 1370% from 2019-2021, according to Chainalysis.
Paxos' findings include the primary motivators of crypto adoption in Latin America: a desire for greater access to the US dollar as a hedge against inflation, easier and less expensive cross-border remittances and a general movement away from traditional banking towards new service providers. In addition, the availability of fintech apps and penetration of internet technology via cell phones, digital wallets and gaming consoles is lowering financial barriers for under-banked or unbanked individuals. Greater connectivity to the financial system is further accelerating adoption of stablecoins and crypto, whether for payments, international remittances, investments or for a store-of-value.
"We discovered an array of socio-economic, technological, regulatory and cultural forces converging over the past two years to propel crypto further into the mainstream financial system in Latin America," observed Michael Coscetta, Head of Revenue at Paxos. "What's most exciting is the potential for digital asset markets to increase the spending and saving power of millions, thus helping drive innovation."
Paxos concluded the future appears promising for continued growth of Latin America cryptocurrency markets, catalyzed by expanding awareness of the asset class, the desire to break from traditional banks, the popularity of digital wallets, the continuing advancement of internet access and persistent economic instability.
"What's Driving the Immense Growth of Crypto in Latin America" was created with the support and expertise of:
- Bruno Balduccini, partner at Pinheiro Neto Advogados, Brazil
- Gloriana Carballo, fintech consultant at Impesa, Costa Rica
- Wences Casares, CEO of Xapo, Argentina
- Dolores El Jaouhari, product manager at Prex, Argentina
- Florence Grassl, product innovation & marketing manager at Multimoney, El Salvador
- Ernesto Leal, payments and product head at Grupo Gente, Costa Rica
- Agustin Paez, growth marketing manager at Prex, Argentina

Paxos is the leading regulated blockchain infrastructure platform. Its products are the foundation for a new, open financial system that can operate faster and more efficiently. Today, trillions of dollars are locked in inefficient, outdated financial plumbing that is inaccessible to millions of people. Paxos is replatforming the financial system to enable assets to instantaneously move anywhere in the world, at any time, in a trustworthy way.
Paxos uses technology to tokenize, custody, trade and settle assets. It builds enterprise blockchain solutions for institutions like PayPal, Interactive Brokers, Mastercard, Mercado Libre, Nubank, Bank of America, Credit Suisse and Societe Generale. Paxos is a top-funded fintech company with more than $540 million raised from leading investors including Oak HC/FT, Declaration Partners, Founders Fund, Mithril Capital and PayPal Ventures.

WWE NXT 2.0 Preview (9/13): One-Year Anniversary Special
The "NXT" brand will celebrate its one-year anniversary as "NXT 2.0" tonight. Last summer, a decision was taken to completely revamp WWE's third brand, moving away from the "black and gold" presentation that it showcased between 2012 and 2021.
One star who has been making huge strides under the "NXT 2.0" name is reigning "NXT" North American Champion Carmelo Hayes. The self-proclaimed "A Champion" will be defending the gold on tonight's show against an opponent chosen by the fans. After successfully defending the title against Ricochet at Worlds Collide on September 4, Hayes will now enter the unknown, looking to extend his 100-day reign as champion, with his opponent seemingly set to be announced on during the broadcast. Meanwhile, another championship match voted on by the fans for tonight's show was revealed last night on "WWE Raw," with Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) defending the "NXT" Tag Team Championship against the Creed Brothers (Brutus Creed and Julius Creed) in a steel cage match.
In addition to those two high-stakes title matches, Fallon Henley and Lash Legend will finally get their hands on each other in a one-on-one match. The pair have come to blows recently when their two respective teams, Pretty Deadly and Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs, have collided, and now the score will be settled. Also in the women's division, Arianna Grace will team up with Kiana James to take on Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons.
Lastly, Cameron Grimes will find a tag team partner to take on the D'Angelo Family in the wake of being put through a table last week after turning down a place in the stable, and Hank Walker will face Javier Bernal as the former looks to beat some respect out his opponent after tiring of his ego.

The results were declared on June 4 this year, following which it was alleged that there were malpractices in the examination.
“The J-K Govt had constituted an Inquiry Committee to look into the same.

Vision problems are a common side effect of growing old, but, if you are a person living with diabetes, it can signal other problems. One of the lesser known complications of Diabetes is Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) – a catch-all term for all disorders of the retina caused by diabetes. Left unchecked, DR can lead to permanent loss of vision1.
Diabetic Retinopathy can be hard to diagnose, as a lot of the symptoms just feel like standard issue age related degeneration, however, there are particular signs people with diabetes and their caregivers must watch for. Should you, or your loved ones experience these, it’s time to see a doctor1.
Once you have a DR diagnosis however, there is plenty you can do to keep the disease from progressing. Looking at the body as a whole, there are various systems that interact with one another. What happens in your kidneys is significant to what happens with your retina even if you don’t see the relation. Over the years, the research around DR has shown several connections between the progression of the disease and hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetic kidney disease, high blood sugar, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, even exercise2.
Controlling Sugar Fluctuations
Controlling sugar fluctuations is something that you do anyway, as someone with diabetes. The good news is, this helps both lower the risk of developing DR, and also its progression. Even a 1% decrease in HbA1c is related to a 35% reduction in the risk of DR development, 15–25% in the disease’s progression, 25% in visual acuity loss and 15% in the development of blindness3.
The NHS UK recommends checking sugar levels several times a day, as levels can vary. If you check your blood sugar level at home, it should be 4 to 7mmol/l. As someone with diabetes, your average blood sugar level, or HbA1c, should be around 48mmol/mol or 6.5%4.
Controlling blood pressure
If you have diabetes, the NHS recommends that you aim for blood pressure readings of no more than 140/80mmHg, or less than 130/80mmHg if you have diabetes complications, such as eye damage4. A comparison of patients with BP 180/100 mmHg and those with BP 150/85 mmHg, showed a 33% decrease in DR progression and a 50% reduction in loss of vision in the second group3.
Controlling lipids in the bloodstream
When we say ‘lipids’, we typically include cholesterol levels, lipoproteins, chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, apolipoproteins and HDL3. The NHS recommends a healthy total cholesterol level of below 4mmol/l4.
Elevated serum lipid levels are linked with a specific risk of a DR complication known as ‘hard exudates’. Lowering high serum lipid levels has been shown to decrease the risk of hard exudates in people living with diabetic retinopathy5. So even if your serum lipids are high right now, you can make a difference to your vision by taking corrective action today.
Obesity, physical activity, and DR
It is common knowledge that obesity and diabetes can go hand in hand. Now, science backs this up. In people with Type 2 Diabetes, a meta analysis shows that obesity increases the incidence of DR3.
The good news is that increasing physical activity reduces the risk of developing DR! Not only are higher levels of physical activity independently associated with a lower incidence of DR in people with type 2 diabetes, the risk of DR progression could be reduced by 40% when the physical activity is for no less than 30 min for five days per week3.
Proven diets and foods that help DR
For those who want to battle DR with improvements in their diet, the options are many. While we all try to get a good mix of fruits, vegetables, dairy, cereal and other food groups, there are particular diets as well as certain foods that have been shown to be more effective in battling DR and other chronic conditions.
- A study found that Mediterranean diet enhanced with extra virgin olive oil or nuts with a low-fat diet was associated with an over 40% reduced risk of retinopathy!3
- The intake of oily fish at least twice a week was associated with a nearly 60% reduction in the risk of retinopathy3.
- Many vegetables, fruits and seeds contain minerals, polyphenols and other phytochemicals which bring down oxidative stress, inflammation and insulin resistance. In fact, high consumption of fruit and vegetables rich in flavonoids is linked to a lower risk of diabetic retinopathy3.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
We all try to eat well. Between the daily stresses of cooking and ordering in, the quality of the produce available in our cities, and our likes and dislikes of certain foods, small deficiencies can creep in. Regular blood tests and doctors visits can help you navigate these deficiencies, and safeguard not just your vision, but several other organ systems in the body.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine):Thiamine supplementation in high doses (50–100 mg/day) is safe and useful for neuroprotection, treatment and prevention of end-organ injuries, including DR and diabetic nephropathy3.
Vitamin D: Maintaining an optimum level of vitamin D plays an essential role in reducing the risk and severity of DR. Not only that, it helps in the proper functioning of the pancreas, and helps with atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular Disease, Type 2 diabetes and hypertension3.
Vitamin E: In a 10 year study of people living with Type 1 diabetes, vitamin E supplementation by a dose of 1800 IU daily improved blood flow in the retina. It also reduced oxidative stress, which is elevated in DR3.
Zinc: Zinc deficiency is linked with the progression of chronic conditions like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, diabetic microvascular complications and DR3.
The most potent defence against vision loss: regular testing
The journey to good health, particularly when it comes to diabetes and DR, begins with the correct diagnosis. Often, diabetes causes complications that seem to have nothing to do with insulin or high blood sugar levels. This is because diabetes affects the functioning of several organ systems in the body; so understanding what is wrong is the first step to taking corrective action.
As DR symptoms become noticeable only once the disease has advanced, it is important to do pre-emptive and regular screening for DR. Based on an analysis of 35 studies carried out between 1980 and 2008 worldwide, the overall prevalence of DR in people with diabetes using retinal images was estimated to be 35%, with vision-threatening DR present in 12%6. In India, the number of people with diabetes is expected to rise to 134 million by 20457, making DR a significant public health challenge.
However, once DR is detected, you and your doctor can chart a clear path for you, to manage your health, and to prevent further damage to your vision. All it takes is awareness that DR exists, and that one must test for it regularly1.
This is the motivation behind why Network18 launched the ‘Netra Suraksha’ – India Against Diabetes initiative, in association with Novartis, in 2021. In the first season, the initiative brought together the best minds in medicine, policy making and think tanks to raise awareness about DR. This year, the initiative is taking an enormous step forward by foraying into in-person health camps across the nation.
You can find knowledge articles, explainer videos and panel discussions from season 1 on the Netra Suraksha website, along with the latest information on when and where health camps are being held. Partner with us in getting the word out there to other people living with diabetes, and to arm yourself with knowledge.
Remember, vision loss from DR can be stopped in its tracks. As with anything to do with your health, make all changes to your diet, exercise regime and lifestyle in consultation with your doctor. Slow and steady wins the race!

KANO – Kano New Nigeria People’s Party NNPP gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has filed a suit challenging the State Government over an alleged plot to dispose of some selected Shari’a Courts land.
The suit filed by Barrister Sanusi Umar Sadiq and two other Counsels to Abba Kabir Yusuf sought the court to perpetually restrain Kano State Government from “tempering, confiscating or developing building on six Shari’a Courts land or premises.”
According to the Originating Summon, the affected courts Include, Upper Shari’a Court Gidan Maitasine, Yan Awaki, Upper Shari’a Court Yan Alluna, Upper Shari’a Court Shahuci, and Upper Shari’a Court Goron Dutse,
Others are Upper Shari’a Court Kasuwar Kurmi, Upper Shari’a Court Filin Hockey.
Plaintiff alleged that the action of the defendant denied access to Justice for Kano Citizens.
Other Plaintiffs, in the case, include Barrister Usman Imam and Comrade Bello Basi.
In a sharp reaction to the emerging development the State Attorney General, Barrister Musa Abdullahi Lawan, said “there was no Court or its premises are on the verge of being sold as alleged by the Plaintiff.”
The Attorney General explained, “what happened was that because of the dilapidated nature of some of the Courts mentioned, specifically Yan’Awaki Shari’a Court where it is always flooded when it’s rain, Government allocated Shahuci to accommodate Kasuwar Kurmi Shari’a Court.
The Attorney General Barrister Lawan said the new Court which is under construction is billed to accommodate six courts with a three-storey building, “so where is the Court that we sold”, he queried.
Speaking further “Another thing that necessitates our move to build new courts and possibly vacate YanAwaki, Yan Alluna and Kurmi Market Court is because of lack of adequate Security at the place and there would not be smooth carriage of justice with a judge having uncomfortable sittings.”

(RTTNews) - Shares of Eastman Chemical Company (EMN) are down more than 4% Tuesday morning after cutting its third quarter earnings outlook citing lower than expected demand as well as higher cost.
For the third quarter, Eastman Chemical expects adjusted EPS to be about $2.00. Previously it was expecting solid growth from last years' adjusted EPS of $2.46.
"Demand has slowed more than expected in August and September, in particular in the consumer durables and building and construction end markets and the European and Asian regions.... Certain costs have trended higher than expected and are impacting third-quarter performance, particularly for natural gas in the U.S., which reached a 14-year high during the quarter," said Mark Costa, Board Chair and CEO.
EMN, currently at $90.74, has traded in the range of $84.95-$129.48 in the last 1 year.

By Christian Kraemer, Miranda Murray and Kate Abnett
BERLIN/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Germany said on Tuesday it would step up lending to energy firms at risk of being crushed by soaring gas prices, as the European Union readied proposals to help households and industry cope with an energy crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The European Commission is due to announce on Wednesday proposals including targets to cut electricity consumption and a revenue cap for non-gas fuelled plants. EU energy ministers will hold an emergency meeting on Sept. 30 to try and agree on them.
Separately, the EU's securities watchdog is also considering measures to help energy firms struggling to meet rocketing collateral demands after they were caught out by the surging prices as Russia cut gas supplies to Europe.
The crisis is already weighing heavily on Europe's economy, even before the onset of winter when industrial users could face rationing if gas reserves prove inadequate. Industry sentiment in the bloc's economic powerhouse, Germany, has tumbled.
"Of course we knew, and we know, that our solidarity with Ukraine will have consequences," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday, urging Germans to brace for a tough winter and rise to the challenge of a shift in energy supply away from Russian gas.
"Let us tackle the task together!" Scholz said.
Germany's finance ministry said it wanted to boost state loans for energy firms by using credit authorisations created to offer relief in the COVID-19 pandemic, with a German newspaper putting the value at 67 billion euros ($68 billion).
Last week, VNG, one of Germany's biggest importers of Russian natural gas, became the latest energy firm to ask the government for aid to stay afloat.
The German cabinet is expected to approve draft legislation for the boosted credit funds on Wednesday.
RAFT OF EU PROPOSALS
At the EU level, a spokesperson for the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) said on Monday the regulator was "actively considering" whether any regulatory measures were necessary to help support energy firms.
ESMA directly regulates clearing houses in the EU, which in turn set mandatory levels of margin based on potential risks from markets and counterparties. Public intervention in this area is rare, especially after the global financial crisis over a decade ago led to tougher margin requirements.
A draft of the European Commission's proposals, seen by Reuters, would cap at 180 euros per megawatt hour the price at which wind, solar and nuclear plants could sell their power in the 27-nation bloc. It would also force fossil fuel firms to share excess profits.
Governments would be required to use the cash to help consumers and companies facing sky-high energy bills.
EU officials said, however, that plans for emergency liquidity support for power firms facing soaring collateral needs were still being drafted, and would likely be published later than Wednesday.
NO GAS PRICE CAP
Diplomats say there is broad support for a revenue cap for non-gas generators, as well as plans to impose electricity demand cuts. But countries are split over other ideas - including a gas price cap, which was not included in the draft Commission proposals.
The EU has also backed away from an earlier plan to impose a price cap on Russian gas. Countries including Hungary and Austria had opposed that idea in case Moscow retaliated by cutting off the dwindling supplies it still sends to the EU.
Meanwhile, investor sentiment in Germany fell further than expected in September as concerns over the country's energy supply increasingly weigh on the outlook for Europe's largest economy.
"The prospect of energy shortages in winter has made expectations even more negative for large parts of the German industry," said Achim Wambach, president of the ZEW economic research institute.
Separately, Swedish utility Vattenfall said it had delayed the restart of the Ringhals 4 nuclear reactor by two months to Jan. 31, in a further setback to power supply in the Nordic and Baltic region.
"This worsens an already difficult power situation in southern Sweden," power market analyst Tor Reier Lilleholt at Norway's Volue said.
Meanwhile, the CEO of Ukrainian state energy firm Naftogaz said on Tuesday he hoped to restore production thanks to the recent military successes.
Naftogaz produces the lion's share of Ukraine's gas, with output totalling 13.7 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2021.

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines will lift a year-long ban on overseas Filipino workers’ (OFWs) deployment to Saudi Arabia on November 7, Migrant Workers Secretary Susan “Toots” Ople said on Tuesday, September 13.
The announcement came following days of bilateral talks between the two countries on how to improve the welfare of the hundreds of thousands of OFWs working in Saudi Arabia.
“The DMW (Department of Migrant Workers) and the MHRSD (Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development) have reached an agreement to resume the deployment of Filipino workers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia starting November 7th, 2022,” the two agencies said in a joint press release.
The Philippines halted the processing of new applications for deployment to Saudi Arabia in November 2021. Some reasons for the ban included the reported billions worth of unpaid wages of Filipino construction workers, and allegations of a retired general abusing several Filipino workers.
In the joint statement, the MHRSD said it values the “significant contribution of OFWs to economic and social development,” and it shares the DMW’s vision of a rights-based approach to labor migration.
Saudi Arabia is the world’s top destination of OFWs, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority. There are around 470,820 OFWs based in the Kingdom as of 2020.
Steps towards better welfare protection
Tales of OFWs being abused in Saudi Arabia make constant appearances in the media. The DMW and the MHRSD agreed to the following action points in taking greater care of OFWs in the Kingdom:
- Create a technical working group composed of representatives from both agencies to monitor the implementation of labor reforms, and jointly resolve concerns of workers
- Implement a blacklist and whitelist of recruitment agencies and employers in both countries, based on criteria agreed upon by both sides
- Revise the Standard Employment Contract of OFWs to reflect all guarantees in the Saudi Labor Reform Initiatives, including:
- insurance for unpaid wages
- timely release of salaries through electronic payments
- a pre-termination clause, which OFWs or the Philippine government can invoke once abuse is reported
- Ensure implementation of a fully automated recruitment process in both countries
- Sign a memorandum of understanding to fight human trafficking, investigate and prosecute offenders, and provide support to OFW trafficking victims in both countries
- Convene regular joint committee meetings to monitor full compliance with the action points listed above, as well as developments of recruitment procedures in both countries
“We are grateful to [MHRSD Minister Ahmad Bin Sulaiman Al-Rajhi] and the government of Saudi Arabia for sharing our concern for the rights of our workers. Likewise, we intend to move forward by working together on implementing mechanisms that would ensure the protection of our workers’ rights and welfare,” Ople said.
The DMW said that the Saudi labor ministry committed to reviewing a proposal from the DMW to reduce the duration of employment contracts of domestic workers to one year. These workers would have the option to extend for another year, but with a vacation leave of 15 days in between, Ople said.
Was the ban effective in reducing abuses?
Ople said she felt the sincerity of the Saudi government in its efforts to curb OFW abuse, as it was proactive in gathering facts about welfare cases. The Philippine delegation is set to return to Manila on Wednesday evening, September 14, with around 100 OFWs staying in shelters in Saudi Arabia. But before they left, Ople said Saudi officials went to the embassy to interview the OFWs who were recommended to go home.
“In fact, ‘yung human rights commission nila, nagpadala pa ng team para dumalaw sa ating shelter sa Riyadh para maintindihan nila ‘yung mga push factors kung bakit nagiging welfare case ‘yung ating mga kasambahays. So this only shows na they are cognizant na meron din silang mga pagkukulang, meron din kailangang gawin na reporma on both sides,” said Ople.
(In fact, their human rights commission sent a team to visit our shelter in Riyadh so they can understand the push factors as to why our domestic workers become welfare cases. So this only shows that they are cognizant of their shortcomings, that there must be reforms on both sides.)
DMW Undersecretary Patricia Yvonne Caunan highlighted a new labor reform where OFWs can obtain faster transfers of employment. In this reform, Caunan said, they would no longer need clearances of approval from their previous employers to transfer work if they run into issues like breach of contract, failure to pay salary, maltreatment, and being made to work for someone who is not the employer, among others.
On whether the ban was an effective push to make the Saudi government convict more abusers, Ople said that “it’s not for us to say.” She said that the ban became an opening to better relations between the two countries.
“Based on my conversation with the minister, he told me, ‘Tell us where we can help, who we should help.’ Because he said they were shocked when we suspended [deployment]. They said there was no advance warning, and nothing was said about what we needed. Now we have a mechanism where both sides can talk about a problem before it can get worse,” she said in a mix of English and Filipino.
Ople flew to Saudi Arabia following her participation in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s state visits to Indonesia and Singapore from September 4 to 7. – Rappler.com

Williamson County Schools has been named an Exemplary District, and a record-breaking 29 schools have been named Reward Schools in the 2021-22 Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) accountability report, as announced on Monday, September 12.
Being named an Exemplary District is the highest possible designation for school districts in Tennessee. Reward Schools are also recognized as some of the highest performing in the State. The district’s previous record of Reward Schools was 28 and was achieved in 2019.
“Our students, teachers and staff have put in so much hard work to earn these designations,” said WCS Superintendent Jason Golden. “This high level of achievement is indicative of the great things happening in our district. I know that our teachers will continue to help students learn and grow throughout the school year.”
District accountability is based on six indicators for all students and specific student groups: success rates in third through fifth grades, sixth through eighth grades and ninth through twelfth grades; chronic absenteeism rates; English language proficiency; and graduation rates.
When selecting Reward Schools, success rates, growth, chronic absenteeism rates, English language proficiency, graduation rates and Ready Graduate rates are all taken into account.
Congratulations to the district’s Reward Schools:

Kell Brook could not stay away from boxing for long as he is back in sparring despite having retired in May earlier this year.
It was a fitting end to Brook’s highly successful career as a former welterweight world champion when he knocked out long-time rival Amir Khan in February.
Now it seems ‘Special K’ has been missing the sport, as his old trainer, Dominic Ingle, posted a clip of Brook looking dominant in sparring.
“Good to see Kell Brook blowing off the cobwebs. Brook vs Khan 2,” Ingle said in the caption accompanying the video.
While a rematch with Khan is unlikely given that he is also retired from boxing, fans have been speculating that Brook could step in as a potential replacement for Chris Eubank Jr in his fight with Conor Benn.
It seems the bout between Benn and Eubank Jr could be in jeopardy after Chris Eubank Sr came out and said that he would be pulling his son out of the fight due to health concerns around making the 157 lb agreed catchweight.
Benn and Brook have history after promoter Eddie Hearn tried to make a fight between the two earlier this year, but negotiations fell apart due to ‘Special K’ demanding too much money.
Most read in Sport
With that being said, it appears the fight between Benn and Eubank Jr will be going ahead after promoter Kalle Sauerland told talkSPORT, “The fight is very much on.”
A return to the ring just a few months after he retired would be a surprise, given how emphatic his words were after hanging up his gloves.
He said: “I’ve had a long chat with my family and my parents, and it’s over for me. I’ll never box again.
“It’s a little emotional to be actually saying this out loud.
“My mam [Julie] is relieved. I think everyone around me is pleased.
“Truth is, boxing is a very very tough, dangerous sport, one in which you can be legally killed in the ring, and I’ve finished now with all my faculties intact.”

Therefore, the fact that, before the summer holidays, a further significant step towards the approval of MiCA – acronym for Markets in Crypto Assets – the European regulation on cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets has not generated headlines in the big media. It is a historical fact: the provisional agreement between the Presidency of the Council and the European Parliament comes about ten years after the birth of the object of the dispute, crypto precisely, and reinforces the idea that Europe will be the first multi-territory – been in the world to have a legal tool to regulate the activities of companies, including banks, operating in the cryptocurrency sector.
At this point the roadmap provides for formal approval by the council and the Parliament and at that point MiCA will automatically enter into operation: as a regulation it does not need any approval by the individual member states. All subjects operating in the sector will have 18 months to adopt it and therefore become fully compliant.
The purpose of MiCA is to regulate a growing sector and a market that, with clear rules, can grow favoring the birth of a European digital asset industry and, at the same time, protect savers and investors by ensuring that only authorized subjects can freely operate. Specifically, the objectives pursued by MiCA are to provide (i) legal certainty to market operators; (ii) supporting innovation; (iii) protect consumers / investors; (iv) guaranteeing the integrity of the markets; (v) to ensure financial stability and (vi) to mitigate risks to monetary transmission and sovereignty policies.
For now, the regulation deals with cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets and not, or better not yet, with Nft (although they can be included if attributable to one of the categories provided by MiCA) and with DeFi which, as decentralized and therefore not referable to a counterparty (the counterparty is a software that runs on a blockchain) raises many issues of a legal nature regarding a correct regulatory approach.
To simplify MiCA it would take numerous posts like this one but in a nutshell we can say that it establishes uniform rules at European level regarding:
- the transparency and disclosure obligations for the issuance and admission to trading of crypto-assets
- the authorization and supervision of service providers for crypto-assets, issuers of tokens linked to assets (ART, or Asset Referenced Token, for example a token pegged to a specific asset, i.e. whose value is constantly linked to that ‘asset. For example a token pegged to the value of Bitcoin, to that of oil or to a specific basket) and of the issuers of electronic money tokens (stablecoin or EMT – Electronic Money Token, for example tokens issued in the future by banks based on of euros received)
- the management, organization and governance of asset-linked token issuers, e-money token issuers and crypto-asset service providers
- consumer protection provisions regarding the issuance, trading, exchange and custody of crypto-assets
- measures to prevent market abuse to ensure the integrity of crypto-asset markets.
Each of these points would require at least one post but for now we can say that the provisions indicated above essentially concern the subjects that provide services related to crypto-assets, such as centralized exchanges and custody services, token or cryptocurrency issuers. in general, the issuers of stablecoins and the providers of consulting services in the crypto sector.
In the case of cryptocurrency issuers, for example, they will be required to publish a White Paper which, in non-technical language, provides key information about their project.
The token issuers linked to activities, in addition to the White Paper, must request a specific authorization from the competent authority of the home member state. Furthermore, there is an obligation for issuers to publish in the same manner, at least every month and in a clear, precise and transparent manner, the amount of tokens linked to outstanding assets and the value and composition of reserve assets. Finally, they must have at all times their own funds equal to at least the highest value between 350 thousand euros and 2% of the average amount of reserve assets, which can be extended to 20% if requested by the competent authority.
Whoever wants to issue a stablecoin, in addition to the White Paper, will have to obtain an authorization as a credit institution or electronic money institution and compliance with the requirements applicable to electronic money institutions referred to in titles II and III of the European Directive 2009/110 / THERE IS.
As regards the providers of crypto-assets services, they must necessarily reside in one of the member states of the European community and will have to apply for authorization as a service provider for crypto-assets to the competent authority of the Member State in which they have the registered office.
There are also particular obligations regarding cross-border services and necessary prudential, organizational, custody and outsourcing requirements. In particular, crypto-asset service providers authorized for custody and administration on behalf of third parties conclude an agreement with their clients to specify their duties and responsibilities and keep a register of positions, open in the name of each customer, corresponding to the rights of each customer on crypto-assets.
This, in a nutshell, but we will return to the topic by deepening some specific aspects. I thank the lawyer Alessandro Negri della Torre of the LX20 Law Firm for the support and contribution.

Plans call for AT&T Fiber with speeds of up to 5 Gigs to help close the digital divide
MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The City of Martinsville, Ind. and AT&T* are collaborating on a plan to build a state-of-the-art network and deliver AT&T FiberSM to more than 5,000 customer locations throughout the city limits. The $6.3 million public-private project is contingent upon a final contract between AT&T and the city.
"After conversations with numerous providers, we've found a future-focused collaborator in AT&T and their 100% fiber network," said Kenny Costin, mayor, City of Martinsville. "We're grateful that AT&T has stepped up with a plan to ensure faster internet speeds for our city – for our teachers, students, parents and small businesses, in particular. We look forward to enjoying the benefits of AT&T Fiber for many years to come."
The project's plans call for residents and businesses citywide to have access to blazing fast download and upload speeds up to 5 Gigs.1 The faster speeds and increased bandwidth mean customers can connect multiple devices, stream multiple entertainment sources, quickly upload content to social media and experience ultra-low lag for pro-level gaming – all at the same time.

Why Jerrod Carmichael Had Mixed Emotions Accepting Emmy Award
Jerrod Carmichael won the Emmy for outstanding writing for a variety special for his work on his own stand-up comedy special on HBO called "Rothaniel" at the 2022 Emmy Awards, beating out Ali Wong, Nicole Byer, Jordan Klepper, and the late Norm MacDonald. But when he accepted his Emmy, his speech seemed to suggest he was somewhat ambivalent about his win. "Look, I made something that was of great personal consequence to me, and this definitely contributes to the meaning of it," Carmichael said in his very monotone acceptance speech.
Carmichael was very candid about his feelings the entire night. When being interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter, the reporter asked Carmichael if he was excited to win or rather was just going into the awards ceremony ready for whatever happens, to which Carmichael was very honest in his response. "Do you want me to lie to you?" Carmichael asked. "If I lose, it's worse than losing the lottery because the lottery doesn't have finalists."
Carmichael's frank comments were hardly a surprise for anyone who saw the comedian's special and how emotionally wrought the sincere and vulnerable performance was for him. Still, it wasn't until Carmichael was interviewed after winning his award that he explained his mixed feelings about winning.
His award won't calm his angst
Variety interviewed Jerrod Carmichael about winning and what it meant for him, and his comments displayed very mixed emotions. "It's funny because I was thinking to myself about what this solves or contributes to," Carmichael told Variety. "It feels really good, it feels really nice, but I don't know if it cures the internal angst. I'm happy because it was really personal, and I feel like me and [director] Bo [Burnham] gave everything we had. ... I went from trying to disassociate from awards or anything because I felt like I didn't necessarily make things that got that type of attention, to really wanting this and being excited by the idea of it. So it's been a long, personal journey for me."
Carmichael showed up to the ceremony shirtless and wearing a white fur coat, which certainly turned heads, but he also explained that his outfit was a reflection of his feelings about the ceremony. "It just feels good that this whole thing feels big and absurd and so, like, I think I match the occasion," Carmichael told ET in an interview before the ceremony. "It's big and absurd, so what are we doing? Want me to wear a black tux, like all right?"
Whatever mixed feelings Carmichael may have had about the award, his fans were pretty excited on his behalf. Twitter user @corysparks tweeted, "I'm glad Jerrod Carmichael won an Emmy for 'Rothaniel.' What a masterclass in storytelling." User @carmencitaloves tweeted, "I cannot emphasize this enough, but if you're going to watch one thing that [you] maybe missed from this years Emmys. It should be Jerrod Carmichael's 'Rothaniel.'" So, while Carmichael's award may not calm his internal angst, it was certainly a well-deserved win that a lot of people are celebrating.

Sarasota Surgical Arts Offers The Best Botox Prices In Sarasota
SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Finding good quality Botox injections at an affordable price can be a challenge. Either you get cheap Botox, but lackluster results or you get good results at a high price. Sarasota Surgical Arts are the only Sarasota cosmetic surgery practice that offers Botox at a good price and injections performed by highly skilled providers.
Sarasota Surgical Arts offers all major Botox treatments including treating frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. However, they also perform facial slimming Botox and certain medical Botox treatments such as injections for migraines or hyperhidrosis. Whether you want to look younger, treat chronic migraines, or prevent the early signs of aging, BOTOX injections may help because they deactivate certain responses that cause unnecessary facial movement or activities that cause migraines or sweating.
The cost of BOTOX at Sarasota is 50 units for $250 and 75 units for $375. These deals are better than others in the area, especially when looking into the top providers. If the above unit totals do not fit what you need, the cost of Botox is roughly $5 per unit. When the average unit cost of Botox is $10 to $15, it is easy to see why patients come to Sarasota Surgical Arts.
One Google review says, "Dr. Sessa is the best plastic surgeon in this area! I have a lot of experience with this doctor and all experiences have been wonderful! I have seen Dr. Sessa for a few years now for various reasons including fixing a semi-botched surgery. I've had two surgeries, Botox, and fillers by Dr. Sessa and I can honestly say that every experience has been consistently incredible. The office staff is the kindest office staff in Sarasota!

Kimmel's bit, which consisted of him lying down and pretending to be unconscious after "too many margaritas," has sent Twitter into a rage as many felt it was disrespectful to Brunson, who quite literally had to step over his body.
While Brunson appears to have been warned of the bit as she tells Kimmel to get up because she won, many fans still felt that Kimmel took the joke too far. Why not let Brunson soak in 100% of the spotlight she deserves without forcing her speech to compete with a late night host who is pretending to be asleep?

Vigilance conducts searches at the premises of 2 former AIADMK ministers in TN
- Country:
- India
Officials of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti- Corruption (DVAC) held multi-city searches on the premises of two AIADMK former ministers in connection with two different cases of alleged irregularities. AIADMK interim chief K Palaniswami alleged the searches were held to ''divert'' attention from the ''opposition'' to the ruling DMK over the revised power tariff that came into effect last week.
Searches were held on 31 premises belonging to AIADMK leader S P Velumani, a party strongman from Coimbatore, over a case of replacing existing streetlight with LED lights in rural areas during 2015-18.
DVAC registered a criminal case against him and 9 others over the allegation that he abused his official position in awarding tenders injudiciously to his closely associated companies in replacing the lights.
This has caused loss to the Exchequer approximately Rs 500 crore, a DVAC release said. The FIR was registered under sections of IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act.
Based on the FIR, searches were held at locations, including in Coimbatore, Chennai and Tiruchirappalli. The release said Rs 32.98 lakh in cash, 1,228 gm of gold jewels and 10 four-wheelers were ''identified.'' It added 316 incriminating documents were seized.
However, the former minister claimed nothing incriminating was found from his house and insisted the action was a result of ''political vendetta.'' Hearing the news of searches, a large number of AIADMK workers and leaders gathered in front of Velumani's house on Palakkad Main Road in the city, leading to tense moments even as more police personnel were deployed. Seven party MLAs allegedly involved in commotion with the police were detained.
Velumani held the Rural Development portfolio in the previous AIADMK cabinet.
Similarly, DVAC sleuths held searches against AIADMK's C Vijayabaskar, a former health minister, in connection with alleged irregularities in issuing essentiality certificate to a private medical college against National Medical Commission regulations. Based on the FIR, searches were held in 13 places including in his native Pudukottai, Theni and Chennai, DVAC added.
A sum of Rs 18.37 lakh in cash and 1,872 gm of gold jewels among others were ''identified,'' the release added.
Both leaders are sitting MLAs and are already under the DVAC scanner in disproportionate assets cases against them. Hitting out at the ruling DMK over the vigilance action against his party colleagues, Palaniswami said it was done to divert attention from the ''opposition'' among the public over the new power tariff.
In a series of tweets, he slammed also the ''autocratic'' police action of detaining his party MLAs in Coimbatore.
They raised questions in a democratic manner and should be released forthwith, he demanded.

Holistic sex educator Jenny Keane appeared on the show this morning to chat to Tommy and Muireann about the female orgasm.
She told the co-hosts how they categorise the orgasm's into three types.
Tommy looking bewildered responded: "There's actually more than three? So it's not even a myth this whole thing, no?"
Jenny laughed and said: "There's way more than three!"
The former rugby player replied: "How do you even categorise them?"
Tommy has been married to his wife Lucy Whitehouse since 2015.
Muireann joked: "Lucy if you need to chat, just let us know. It's alright."
Tommy said: "I told her I was doing this yesterday and she told me 'You could do with a bit of that'."
Most read in TV
Muireann refers to her mystery fiancé as her 'housemate'.
She said: "I'm recording this and giving it to the 'housemate' later on."
After the chat with Jenny, Tommy made them all laugh with his pun.
He told Jenny: "You're brilliant at opening it up. It's great to have you with us this morning"
The three of them burst out laughing.
Muireann added: "You had that locked and loaded."
'SO FUNNY'
Ireland AM posted the clip to Instagram and said: "WHAT was that, Tommy?"
Tommy's fans were all in tears laughing in the comment section.
Sex Educator Jenny Keane commented: "I can’t stop laughing! Haaaha! Too good!"
Aileen said: "Tommy!!!! You never fail us."
Sue wrote: "I couldn't believe he said that either."
One fan commented: "Omg so funny."
Another said: "Tommy always walks himself into it."
BOWE OUT
This comes after Muireann was in stitches at Tommy's hilarious impression of Garth Brooks.
Excitement was running through the studio last week and the presenters were all suited and booted wearing cowboy hats.
Speaking about Garth, Tommy said: "He's got friends in low places, he's certainly got a friend here. Big fan, love it!
"And by the looks of things the Garth Brooks mania is kicking off ahead of the gigs this weekend."
Muireann said to him: "Do your accent."
The 380-year-old then attempted to speak in an American accent and said: "I don't know - I don't know, what's the accent? But I'm very excited. Howdy partner."
Muireann burst our laughing at his failed attempt and asked him again to do the accent.
Tommy stuttered and said laughing: "No, no, no, no, no accents!"

Prince William and Kate Middleton's friend has been replaced as Lord Great Chamberlain after Queen Elizabeth passed away.
According to Daily Mail, Richard Eden recently revealed that the Marquess of Cholmondeley no longer has the royal job after Charles acceded to the throne.
The Marquess, David Cholmondeley, played a major role in grand royal events during his ceremonial rule.
He also had the right to dress the monarch on coronation day and also being involved in investing the monarch with the insignia of rule.
However, the role will not be carried by Rupert Carington after King Charles’ proclamation as the 7th lord.
The 73-year-old already carried out his duties on Monday and greeted His Majesty and Queen Consort Camilla when they arrived at Westminster Hall for an official speech to Parliament.
Carington, whose late father served as Foreign Secretary under Margaret Thatcher, will likely play a significant role in the Coronation, expected to be held next year.

PnB Rock Tributes Pour in From Drake, Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, and More After Rapper’s Sudden Death
Drake, Nicki Minaj, Meek MIll, and many more shared tributes after Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock was shot and killed in Los Angeles Monday, Sept. 12.
Drake shared a photo of himself and PnB Rock on Instagram Stories, while Quavo tweeted, “R.I.P. PNB Rock sending prayers to his family.” Denzel Curry, D.R.A.M., and Juicy J all shared similar messages online.
Plenty of tributes came in from PnB Rock’s Philadelphia peers, like Questlvoe (who simply tweeted “Shit”) and Tierra Whack, who shared several photos and screenshots of conversations she’d had with PnB Rock on Instagram Stories.
Meek Mill, meanwhile, shared a video of PnB Rock performing and the message, “Rip dawg you didn’t deserve that…. Every time I see one of my friends bleed out on camera or killed on camera, I feel a sick feeling I can’t even really explain… it puts me more and more back in survival mentality!”
Other tributes, like ones from Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, were poignant, though also stirred up controversy by dipping into the circumstances surrounding PnB Rock’s death. On social media, it was widely noted that, not long before the shooting, PnB Rock’s girlfriend had shared a geotagged image of her food to Instagram (the post is now deleted).
“After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts,” Minaj tweeted. “To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus.”
Meanwhile, Cardi B wrote, “I highly doubt nikkas was looking at PMB’s babymom IG. He was in a bad location and people stay outside plotting. It’s very irresponsible and inconsiderate to blame her for something so tragic. We should be sending nothing but love to her and his family at this time.”
Still, plenty of others focused on PnB Rock as an artist and friend. The rising Albama MC Chika remembered, “PnB Rock was one of the first people i met out here. i remember being tucked away at a shoot feeling out of place & he went to the director and told them to make sure to prioritize me the same way. he was gentle and kind with me, a newcomer and stranger.”
And Smokepurpp wrote, “Im sick to my stomach, such a pure heart and soul. You showed me love from the beginning ! Put me on your project when no one even knew who I was! Really one of the greatest most talented people I met thru this industry. I know y’all have heard it many times but being a rapper really is one of the most dangerous jobs you can have, you will forever live on thru your music and lives you touched. Fly high.”
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the 30-year-old Philadelphia rapper, real name Rakim Allen, died after being shot “multiple times” at the Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles location on Manchester Boulevard during the course of a robbery around 1:15 p.m. local time. The rapper was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m. As of now, LAPD officials haven’t named a suspect in the shooting — but an eyewitness told Rolling Stone the rapper apparently was targeted for his jewelry.
“The victim was eating at a table when he was approached by one suspect,” LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman told Rolling Stone. She said the “suspect demanded items” from the rapper, brandished a weapon and fired multiple shots. The suspect “removed some items from the victim, entered a waiting vehicle and fled the scene,” she said.

(2nd LD) New infections rebound to over 50,000 amid 'twindemic' woes
(ATTN: UPDATES with latest figures in 6th para; CHANGES headline)
SEOUL, Sept. 13 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's new COVID-19 cases bounced back to surpass 50,000 on Tuesday after reporting a steady decline last week.
The country reported 57,309 new COVID-19 infections, including 272 cases from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 24,099,134, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said.
Tuesday's tally is up by more than 20,000 from 36,938 a day earlier. Daily infections have slowed after peaking at around 180,000 in mid-August in the latest virus resurgence.
The country added 35 COVID-19 deaths, raising the death toll to 27,533. The fatality rate stood at 0.11 percent.
The number of critically ill patients stood at 547, down by 6 from the previous day.
As of 9 p.m., the country had reported 91,239 additional cases, up 36,508 from the same time the previous day and 8,995 higher than the number from a week ago. Daily cases are counted until midnight and announced the following morning.
Health authorities said new infection numbers have been on a decline for the past week and continue the downward trend for the time being.
But the government warned of a possible "twindemic" -- a simultaneous outbreak of COVID-19 and the seasonal influenza -- as early as this fall amid an unusual spike in the number of flu patients since July this year.
The public health agency said 4.7 among 1,000 patients who visited the hospital from Aug. 23 to Sept. 3 showed influenza-like symptoms. The figure is the highest for the same seven-day period in the last five years.
The KDCA said it is considering introducing a polymerase chain reaction test that can detect both COVID-19 and the flu at the same time.

(WTAJ) — Two years later, investigators are still searching for two Franklin County girls believed to have been kidnapped by their mother and are asking the public to remain vigilant.
Hanna Lee and Skye Rex, then ages 7 and 5, were last seen on March 17, 2020, in their hometown of Waynesboro. Investigators believe they were abducted by their mother, Lashada Lee, who is now 46 years old. A felony warrant for custodial interference was issued for Lashada on June 2, 2020, following a three-year-long custody battle with ex-husband John Rex, the father of the sisters.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) released age-progress photos of Hanna, now 9, and Skye, now 7, to give an idea of what they look like in order to help find them. Both girls have brown hair and brown eyes and are biracial. Lashada has black hair and brown eyes, stands approximately 5’3″ tall, and weighs around 160 pounds.
“Children abducted by a parent are often told lies to justify abruptly leaving home,” NCMEC Co-Founder John Walsh said. “After they’ve left the state or the country, they often remain isolated out of fear of being noticed or getting caught. Many times, they are kept out of school, away from parks and neighbors, and without any contact with friends or family members.”
Investigators believe they may be in the Washington D.C., Maryland area.
“To the ordinary person, the most that I can ask them to do is spread the awareness and share these posts,” John said in a 2021 interview. “Whether it be Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, just help search for my daughters and share it.”
Anyone with information is asked to reach out to the Waynesboro Police Department at 1-717-762-2131 or by calling the NCMEC at 1-800-843-5678.

Last week Major League Baseball announced rules changes which will go into effect beginning in 2023. No, not those rule changes. The changes implemented by Commissioner Rob Manfred. What will any of these changes mean for the Houston Astros in 2023? Glad you asked.
15-Second Pitch Clock
The rule: With the bases empty, pitchers will have 15 seconds to get into their wind-up motion from the moment they get the ball back from the catcher. With runners on base, Pitchers will have 20 seconds to start their delivery. The hitter must be in the box with no fewer than eight seconds remaining.
If the pitcher is not in their wind-up in time, they'll be charged with a ball; similarly if the hitter is not in the box in time, they'll be charged with a strike. The rationale for this is to speed up the pace of play and get people home earlier.
Statcast’s Pitch Tempo data (which, admittedly, starts the clock earlier than MLB will start the clock next season) shows that Ryan Pressly has the slowest pitch tempo on the Astros, averaging 23.8 seconds between pitches with the bases empty and 25.9 seconds with runners on. Ryne Stanek (26.7 seconds), Lance McCullers, Jr. and Rafael Montero (27.0 seconds), and Luis Garcia (27.3 seconds) all have the slowest pitch tempo on the Astros and will need to hustle it up a little bit. One benefit to Luis Garcia is that his wind-up is so choreographed that he might actually not have to make any adjustments.
Even with the bases empty, the quickest Astros pitchers to throw the ball are Seth Martinez (15.6 seconds), McCullers and Jose Urquidy (16.4 seconds), and Brandon Bielak (16.5 seconds) are the closest to the cutoff. With the rule indicating that the pitcher has to have received the ball from the catcher and has to be in the wind-up by the allotted time, it may not end up being too big of a deal for Astros pitchers.
Limiting Pick-Off Throws
The rule: Pitchers can only disengage from the rubber twice per plate appearance. This includes pickoff throws (both real and fake), stepping off the rubber, or a position player asking the umpire for time. After a third disengagement, the pitcher is charged with a balk unless a runner advances a base.
Combining this with the pitch clock means that the Astros—and every other team—will try to steal more bases. Kyle Tucker is currently 22-for-24 on stolen base attempts; Jose Altuve is 16-for-17. Nobody else on the team has reached double-digits for stolen bases this season. Similarly, catcher Martin Maldonado has thrown out 13 of 50 would-be base stealers, his 26 percent success rate being just slightly higher than the league average of 25 percent. Considering Jose Altuve is one of only two AL players to crack 50 stolen bases in the last dozen years, nabbing a league-leading 56 during the 2014 season, this rule aims to create more action on the basepaths.
Base Sizes
The rule: Bases will be enlarged from 15 inches to 18 inches.
Okay, you're barely going to notice this one. But elements of these three rules go hand-in-hand: Increasing the size of the bases will make it easier to slide into a base with less of a chance of injury. It will also increase stolen base attempts and increase the action of the game, since there’s a shorter distance to travel between bases. Even if the distance is minimal, an extra inch make a huge difference.
Banning the Shift
The rule: When the pitch is thrown, there must be two infielders—standing in the infield dirt—on either side of second base. As soon as the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand, they are free to move. If the defensive team breaks the rule and the offense gets a hit, anyway, whatever. If the offense doesn’t get a hit, then they can accept a penalty and add a ball to the hitter’s count. Or they can decline it.
This is where the pace-of-play initiatives previously addressed in this article could start to go sideways, just through challenges and penalties. But the point is the same: to increase offense. When the Astros joined the American League in 2013, the League-average BABIP (Batting Average on Balls in Play) was .298. In 2022 it’s .289. For the Astros, their BABIP in 2013—when the team was verifiably terrible—was .303. Now they have an AL leading record of 90 wins, 50 losses despite having a .276 BABIP, the 25th-worst mark in across MLB.
The shift—indicated when three infielders are on the same side of second base, which would be banned next season—will have a marginal impact on the Astros' defensive alignment. Again using Statcast data, the 2022 Astros implement a shift against right-handed batters 26.5 percent of the time—the sixth-highest percentage in MLB and above the League average 20.2. percent. Against left-handed hitters, though, the Astros put three infielders on the same side of the bag a whopping 80.8 percent of the time—well-above the next-shiftiest team, the Dodgers, who do it 70.6 percent of the time.
Yes, the Astros will likely benefit from the elimination of the shift on offense—the Mariners, Rangers, and Angels all rank in the top half of MLB in the number of shifts implemented—but they’re going to give up more hits, as well.

Dozens of machines have been bought by university campuses nationwide
CHICAGO, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shield T3, a spin out of the University of Illinois System's Discovery Partners Institute, is now providing vending machines stocked with more than 300 of its saliva-based, PCR tests for COVID-19. (Download a 3D rendering here.)
Students activate the machines with their smartphones, by scanning a QR code, at no cost to the student. The machines come with a dropbox, so a user can collect a sample and submit his or her test immediately.
Shield T3 promises results within 24 hours via text message and email. Universities are currently paying $20 to $40 per test for this service including the cost of the vending machine.
"The reality is that most campuses don't have pharmacies where students can easily access tests, much less our highly accurate PCR test," said David Clark, Shield T3's CEO. "Further tests of all kinds are expensive. This is an easy way for colleges to continue to secure affordable, high-quality testing for their students."
College administrators are able to access demand and positivity-rate data from the tests purchased from their machines via an online dashboard. It's a far more affordable way to get a read on infection rates than widespread testing.
"Outbreaks are still happening and colleges still need to ensure that in-person classes can be held safely," said Bill Jackson, Shield T3's principal officer of Shield T3. "This is a way, with little to no effort on the school's part, to protect students and gauge the number of students who are infected."
Shield T3 grew out of an easy-to-administer PCR saliva test developed by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2020. The company has a track record, having run more than 4.8 million saliva tests nationwide for more than 250 schools, businesses and other organizations.

New Delhi, Sep 13: Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal expressed his dissatisfaction over Mohammed Shami's snub from the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 15-man squad. Experienced Indian pacer Shami failed to make the cut to the team but he will travel to Australia as a standby. After last year's T20 World Cup, he was out of India's T20I scheme. However, after the team's poor show in Asia Cup 2022, he has been recalled to the team for South Africa and Australia T20I series. Madan Lal suggested that Shami should have been picked in the T20 WC squad as the conditions in Australia are going to help him.https://www.latestly.com/agency-news/indias-squad-for-t20-world-cup-2022-former-chief-selector-kris-srikkanth-unhappy-with-mohammed-shamis-exclusion-4197946.html
"He (Shami) is your big match bowler. And in Australia he could be really important. I don't understand why he is not in the 15-man squad. He is a kind of bowler who, in the first three overs, can get you wickets," Madan Lal told IANS. Shami has played only 17 T20Is for India after making his international debut in 2013. In IPL 2022, the 32-year-old claimed 20 wickets in 16 matches and played a crucial role for Gujarat Titans' title triumph in their maiden season.
"See you need a good bowling unit if you want to win the tournament. No matter if your team scores 180 but you do not have good bowling to defend it. They (India) picked three spinners for Australia. I don't think spinners can get much benefit out there. On one odd day or wicket, they can be useful but for the entire tournament, you need a solid pace bowling unit there in Australia.
"I am happy that Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel are back in the team. Their fitness will be monitored in upcoming series as well. Arshdeep Singh is learning well, Bhuvi is also there but India should have added Shami in the squad. He is your experienced bowler and conditions Down Under can help him."
Further asked about India's batting order and KL Rahul's form, the 1983 World Cup winning team member said, "he will be fine and can make a comeback, I am sure. "Virat Kohli was also struggling but he made a solid comeback and Rahul too is a good batter and can turn things around in India's favour. I am not much concerned about India's batting order. They all are fine," he said. "Also, India should learn from Sri Lanka like they played in the Asia Cup final. Despite losing five wickets for 50 they kept fighting and made a good total at the end."
India squad for ICC T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh.
Standby players: Mohd Shami, Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Chahar.

The committee convenor Muneer Katipalla, who addressed the protestors, alleged that the elected representatives are only giving false assurances regarding the closure.

If the administration fails to announce the closure date, the committee itself will remove it with the participation of local people, he said.
Youth Congress leader Mithun Rai, who also spoke, asked why the BJP elected representatives have distanced themselves from the protest to meet a long-pending demand of the people.
Former MLAs Abhayachandra Jain, B A Mohiyuddin Bava and Congress leader Shashidhar Hegde were among those who took part in the protest.
Deputy Tahsildar Naveen arrived at the spot and accepted a memorandum from the protestors.
The distance between the toll plazas at Surathkal and nearby Hejamadi is less than 10 km. The National Highways (NH) guidelines insist that the distance between two toll plazas should be 40 km.
The Surathkal toll Virodhi Samiti had been staging protests demanding closure of the toll gate.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had announced in August that the toll gate will be merged with the one at Hejamadi.

Erling Haaland has been in sensational form since his £51 million ($63m) move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City. After proving his mettle in Germany, where he scored 86 goals in 89 matches for Dortmund across all competitions, he is already breaking records in the Premier League.
Having scored 10 goals in his first six Premier League appearances he has already become the quickest player in the league's history to reach that number. His goal scoring exploits continue in the Champions League as well, having scored a brace against Sevilla on the opening matchday.
Haaland is touted to be a future Ballon d'Or winner and his exploits with City reconfirm that the Norwegian will get his hands on that coveted prize, sooner than later, if he continues in this fashion. He happens to be one of the top rated players after EA Sports revealed his rating on FIFA 23 ahead of the game's official release date on September 30.
So what is Haaland's FIFA 23 rating? GOAL takes a look at the breakdown plus his rating history.
What is Erling Haaland's FIFA 23 rating?
Haaland has an overall rating of 88 on FIFA 23. His ratings have not changed from FIFA 22 and remains a few points behind the leaders in - Kylian Mbappe, Kevin De Bruyne, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema, who lead the way with 91.
Haaland boasts a phenomenal shots rating of 91 and a pace rating of 89. He has the potential to grow exponentially and break the 95-point barrier if used to the fullest.
You can find Haaland's FIFA 23 ratings in more detail below.
Erling Haaland's FIFA rating history
Haaland was rated a meagre 58 in FIFA 18. Back in the day, he used to ply his trade for Molde FK and had a 2-star skill moves rating. In the next edition he got a major boost and was rated 67 overall, a leap of nine points.
In FIFA 20, he got another shot in the arm and touched the 80 mark, a jump of 13 points. Whereas, in FIFA 21, he got another major update which helped him increase his rating to 87. In the two subsequent editions he has been rated 88; the highest ever in his career.

A swimming coach has been served with a book of evidence and returned for trial accused of making child abuse imagery and sexual exploitation offences at a pool in Dublin.
Matthew Coward (31), of Shantalla Drive, Santry, Dublin, was arrested last month as part of a Garda divisional protective services unit investigation. He was charged with 12 Child Trafficking and Pornography Act offences.
The coach, who is on bail, faces three counts of sexual exploitation of three girls and seven charges for production of child pornography on dates between September 1st, 2021, and February 26th at a swimming pool in Dublin.
There are another two charges for possessing child abuse imagery at another location.
He faced his second hearing on Tuesday when he appeared before Judge Gerard Jones at Blanchardstown District Court and was served with a book of evidence.
The Director of Public Prosecutions had directed "trial on indictment", and the judge consented to the State's request to send the accused forward for trial to Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Mr Coward must not engage in swimming coaching and will face his next hearing on October 20th. He has not yet indicated how he will plead.
The judge warned him to notify the prosecution within 14 days if he intended to use an alibi in his defence. He also ordered the State to give his solicitor copies of Mr Coward's interview videos.
Following an application by defence solicitor Damien Coffey, the court granted legal aid to include senior counsel due to the seriousness of the allegations.
At the first hearing on August 4th, Garda Sergeant Shane Behan said he arrested the accused at his home that morning before bringing him to Finglas Garda station to be charged.
Sergeant Behan said: "The accused made no reply after caution to each charge; he was handed true copies of each charge sheet."
He also told the court there was no objection to bail on a €200 bond, subject to conditions canvassed and agreed with the defence.
The accused must reside at his address and sign on twice-weekly at Santry Garda station. He has already handed over his passport to gardaí and must not apply for new travel documents.
He was ordered to "stay away from the scene listed on the charge sheets" and must have "no contact, directly or indirectly, any witness in this case". The judge explained this included using social media or "any electronic communication whatsoever".
Judge Jones also ordered that the accused must "refrain from engaging in any coaching roles".

‘We will find a way’ – Pep Guardiola not worried about fixture pile-up
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is not concerned about the prospect of a fixture pile-up later in the season.
The Premier League champions’ clash with Tottenham last weekend was postponed following the death of the Queen and there is also a possibility their trip to Arsenal on October 19 will be moved.
That is because the Gunners could reschedule their postponed Europa League tie against PSV Eindhoven for that midweek.
With the World Cup due to interrupt the season for six weeks from mid-November, it seems unlikely these City games could be played before the new year.
That could create a backlog in the second half of the campaign but Guardiola is not worrying about it now.
“The Premier League has the ability to find (room for) the fixtures,” said Guardiola at a press conference to preview Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.
“Maybe the Tottenham game will be in February or March because now I think it is not possible. We will find a way.
“There’s the Carabao Cup, FA Cup at that moment but we will find a way. We are going to play this postponed game, it’s not a problem. Always the fixtures were so tight every season.
“After the (September) international break we’ll have a one month and half with a lot of games. Then the World Cup.
“We’ll see how the players come back from the World Cup and after that, in the last three or four months of competition, we do all we can to be there at the end.”
The visit of Dortmund sees Erling Haaland face a quick reunion with the club he left in the summer.
The Norway striker has made a stunning impact at City, scoring 12 goals in just eight appearances since his £51million move from the German side.
Two other recent signings, Sergio Gomez and Manuel Akanji, are also former Dortmund players.
“They know these players better than I know Dortmund players, that’s for sure,” said Guardiola, whose side beat Sevilla 4-0 in their opening Group G game last week with two goals from Haaland.
“They can get that benefit but we’ll see (on Wednesday) if it’s an advantage or disadvantage, but these three know the qualities of the Dortmund players too.”
Guardiola believes it is his players, rather than himself, that hold the key to his side’s hopes of progressing.
“It belongs to the players,” the Spaniard said. “I have said many times, we are over-rated, the managers, about our influence.
“The game belongs to them. The decisions have to be made and they can express and do it how many times they want.”
City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, another former Dortmund player, has been impressed by Haaland since his arrival.
“The numbers speak for themselves,” the Germany international said. “He’s doing great on the pitch but his character, attitude and determination off the pitch is something incredible.”
City are hoping Haaland can prove the final piece of the jigsaw after years of near misses in the Champions League.
“We will see,” Gundogan said. “It will be a very tough competition and little details can decide the outcome.”

Twitter Unable To Identify, Expel Foreign Agents With Access To User Data - Whistleblower
Mohammad Ali (@ChaudhryMAli88) Published September 13, 2022 | 08:45 PM
Twitter is unable to independently identify and expel foreign agents in their workforce with access to sensitive user data, former Twitter security chief turned whistleblower Peiter Zatko said during a US Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday
WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 13th September, 2022) Twitter is unable to independently identify and expel foreign agents in their workforce with access to sensitive user data, former Twitter security chief turned whistleblower Peiter Zatko said during a US Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.
"If you are a foreign agent and you are hired and you are an engineer, you've got access to all of that (user) data we talked about," Zatko said when asked about foreign agents within Twitter. "I had been told... that there was at least one agent of the MSS, which is one of China's intelligence services, on the payroll inside Twitter. While it was disturbing to hear, I and many others, recognizing the state of the environment at Twitter, were really thinking: if you are not placing foreign agents inside Twitter... as a foreign intelligence company you're most likely not doing your job."
Zatko said Twitter lacks the ability to internally identify inappropriate access within their own systems and only an outside agency alerting the company to the presence of a foreign agent would enable it to find that person.
The FBI alerted Twitter of the presence of the Chinese agent within their workforce, Zatko noted.
Zatko also informed the public about an instance where India purportedly placed a foreign agent within the company to gather information about negotiations between Twitter and the Indian government.
Zatko's appearance before the Judiciary Committee comes after the publication of his whistleblower report in August that outlined how Twitter lacks adequate cybersecurity and misleads users about the availability and use of their data.
He also alleges that Twitter executives place profits and user growth over combating issues such as spam accounts.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal declined to participate in the hearing alongside Zatko, citing concerns about an appearance's potential impact on ongoing litigation between the company and entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is attempting to cancel his acquisition of the company due to alleged misrepresentation of the number of fake accounts on the platform.

Sunderland AFC headlines: Blackburn Rovers interest in SAFC midfielder revealed plus Reading & Watford plans announced
Sunderland face a busy week on the road with a midweek trip to Reading followed by Watford away on Saturday afternoon. Here are your latest SAFC headlines:
Sunderland boss reveals Blackburn Rovers interest in midfielder
Tony Mowbray is confident that Dan Neil can develop under his management after revealing that he had been a potential transfer target at Blackburn Rovers.
Mowbray has spoken of wanting players with a ‘growth mindset’ and believes Neil fits into that category.

Tony Mowbray handed boost as Sunderland man pictured in training following minor injury
“Dan’s career is on an upward trajectory, he’s a very talented boy,” Mowbray said.
"I sit here now, and as Blackburn Rovers manager last year, he was very much on our radar. If Sunderland weren’t going to get promoted, we would have been trying to take him out of League One.
“Here I am now working with him every day, and I see the player I watched and thought he was. His passing range is very good and he can run all day.
“He’s one of the players we’re trying to get to break the box a bit more because I think he’s got a goal in him. He wants to learn and get better, and he wants to watch his clips after training.
“He wants to keep improving and, as a coach, there’s nothing better than a footballer that wants to improve and makes demands of your time to go and sit with him and talk through what you thought was good and bad.”
Sunderland’s Reading & Watford plans revealed
Sunderland will stay down south in between the Reading and Watford games, it has been revealed.
Sunderland face the Royals at 8pm on Wednesday evening before taking on Rob Edwards’ Watford on Saturday at Vicarage Road (KO 3pm).
Head coach Mowbray revealed Sunderland’s logistical planning at his pre-match press conference.
Mowbray said: “We will play Reading on Wednesday, and then stay down south rather than travelling all the way back up to the North East.
"There’s a lot of planning that goes into these things – we’re going to be training down there at a base before playing Watford on Saturday.”
Sunderland will be backed by more than 2,000 away fans at both games.

Alex Jones faces second trial over Sandy Hook hoax claims
Video above: Alex Jones ordered to pay over $49 million to the parents of slain children
A Connecticut jury began hearing arguments Tuesday in a trial to decide how much money conspiracy theorist Alex Jones should pay relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting for spreading a lie that the massacre was a hoax.
The trial is being held in Waterbury, less than 20 miles from Newtown, where 26 children and teachers were shot to death in 2012.
More than a dozen family members, including parents of some victims, filed into the courtroom to listen to the opening statements and the first day of evidence.
It's the second such trial for Jones, who was ordered by a Texas jury last month to pay nearly $50 million to the parents of one of the slain children.
A jury of three men and three women along with several alternates will decide how much the conspiracy theorist should pay relatives of eight victims and an FBI agent who responded to the school. Judge Barbara Bellis found Jones liable without a trial last year after he failed to turn over documents to the families' lawyers.
On Tuesday, she sanctioned Jones for failing to turn over analytic data related to his website and the popularity of his show. She told his lawyers that because of that failure, they will not be allowed to argue he didn’t profit from his Sandy Hook remarks.
Jones did not attend the opening of the trial Tuesday. He said on his show Monday that he would be traveling to Connecticut next week.
The trial is expected to last about a month and feature testimony from both Jones and the families.
Bellis instructed the jury that Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, have already been found liable for damages to the plaintiffs for calling the shooting a hoax on multiple media platforms and saying that no one died.
The Sandy Hook families and former FBI agent William Aldenberg say they have been confronted and harassed for years by people who believed Jones’ false claim that the shooting was staged by crisis actors as part of a plot to take away people's guns.
Some say strangers have videotaped them and their surviving children. They’ve also endured death threats and been subjected to abusive comments on social media. And some families have moved out of Newtown to avoid harassment. They accuse Jones of causing them emotional and psychological harm.
Video below: Family impacted by Sandy Hook shooting responds to Alex Jones verdict
Jones, whose web show and Infowars brand are based in Austin, Texas, has been banned from YouTube, Facebook and Spotify for violating hate-speech policies.
Jones now says he believes the shooting was real. At the Texas trial, he testified that he realizes what he said was irresponsible, did hurt people’s feelings and he apologized.
He continues, however, to insist that his comments were protected free speech. He views the lawsuits as efforts to silence him and put him out of business.
Jones’ lawyers say he intends to appeal the judgment against him in Texas. Jones also will face a third trial back in Texas involving the parents of another slain child.

Invitae Corporation (NYSE:NVTA) Morgan Stanley 20th Annual Global Healthcare Conference Call September 13, 2022 8:00 AM ET
Company Participants
Ken Knight - Chief Executive Officer
Conference Call Participants
Tejas Savant - Morgan Stanley
Tejas Savant
Hey, everyone. Good morning. My name is Tejas Savant. And I am the life science tools and diagnostics analyst here at Morgan Stanley. It’s my pleasure to host Ken Knight, CEO of Invitae here. And again, thanks for joining us. Before we get started, I just have to read the research disclosures. For important disclosures, please see the Morgan Stanley website at morganstanley.com/researchdisclosures. If you have any questions, please reach out to your sales rep. So with that, Ken thanks again for joining us.
Ken Knight
Thank you.
Question-and-Answer Session
Q - Tejas Savant
Maybe just to set the stage, I mean, obviously, it’s been – it’s been a very eventful year for Invitae. Can you talk about sort of your key priorities heading into year end and into ‘23 after the restructuring? And what are you most looking forward to over the next 12 months?
Ken Knight
That’s quite a bit. And thank you Tejas for having us here. First of all, it’s great to be back in New York. I lived across the Holland Tunnel in New Jersey for about a decade, always exciting to come back into the city. And it’s glad that we can actually do some things back in person again. So first of all, glad to be here. As I think about our – my immediate priorities and the priorities of our company, we laid those out in our realignment announcement back in July, first of all increasing our cash runway that was important for us. As we looked at the availability of capital, we kind of recognized that in ensuring that we had sufficiency in our liquidity through the end of 2024 that was super important for us.
Now, you don’t do that by just making cost-cutting initiatives, it really required us to realign the way we think about our business. And as we did that we are navigating towards really becoming a cash flow positive company and doing that in a manner that allows us to still continue to grow the business. And then the third priority for us is really taking care of the hearts and minds of the people of Invitae. These actions are not small by any means. We have talked about upwards of 1000 people being impacted by our actions in July. And so taking care of the hearts and minds of our folks, showing some wins that we actually are on a path toward becoming a healthier company is important for us and taking care of the hearts and minds of our patients and clients. And so those are my priorities really for the short-term and you talked about over the next 12 months, I’d say the next thing for us is really, as we look at our capital structure and some refinancing issues that we have on the horizon, we really have to take care of that.
Tejas Savant
Got it. That’s actually a really good overview. Maybe we will dig in a little bit into the restructuring, as you and Roxi sort of looked at the portfolio, how did you decide which businesses stay and which businesses need to go? And what gives you the confidence that what you have done so far is enough?
Ken Knight
Yes. Interestingly enough, Roxi and I started looking at the kind of the overall health of our company really about a year ago. And so as we were looking in Q3 of 2021, we started recognizing that we had to take some actions and kind of fix ourselves from the inside out in terms of improving our cash consumption and the efficiency of our utilization of capital. And we started at that point really focusing on improving and expanding our gross margins. And if you look back over the last four quarters, you see a continual steady improvement in gross margin expansion. Those efforts started to inform as we started to look at the clarity about where the business was and the time horizon it would take to kind of move a more productive flow of capital. They started to inform things for us at that point honestly. And then as we got into Q1 of this year, we recognized that our efforts needed to be accelerated and we probably needed to go farther. And so we looked at it really kind of holistically first of all, what are the businesses that really support our long-term strategy? We – our mission is not changed. We are here to bring genetic information and mainstream medicine really for billions of people around the world. That’s when we will feel like we have accomplished our mission. And so certain clinical areas support that mission more than others. And so we looked at what are the strategic fits to our long-term vision? We looked at also the likelihood of us being able to improve the business from a standpoint of certain clinical areas, others – certain areas were farther along on the journey and others where we are not as close and really becomes a bandwidth in all of us, all of our teammates. We are limited by how much we can do. I mean, I think sometimes we all believe we are supermen and superwomen. But the reality is that we can, we are limited on what we can do. So we had to choose what are going to be the things that we can do the best.
And so as we started looking at the strategic alignment, long-term, the ability for us to improve those parts of our business, things started rising to the top, which was great. The more difficult decision became the things that were falling to the bottom and deciding which of those items we were going to continue with and which are those we would not and we have spent a thorough amount of time on this realignment plan. And we feel really good about it. We have accomplished the ability to extend our cash runway. We are on a path to getting cash flow positive and we still have the provisions in our plan to continue to grow the company all the while by taking care of our patients and our customers.
Tejas Savant
And in terms of the specifics of the turnaround itself, Ken, can you just give us an update on where you are on the OpEx front, on the geographic sort of exit front as well as the divestiture discussions for offshore and the IVF business?
Ken Knight
Yes. So summarily, we are on track with our cost out plan. In mid-July, we notified all of our employees, those who were impacted both positively and negatively by the realignment and that will continue to keep going back to people in this. This is hard work. And I am so appreciative of the commitment and dedication of the Invishians [ph] around the world who continue to support our mission. But we are on track. We have got our plans in place and we are executing to our plans in terms of costs – getting cost out of the business. We are having discussions with interested parties and we have made it clear that we are going to divest or wind down our consolidated distributed kit business. And so we are having discussions, not much to talk about at this point until we get something ready to talk about. And as we look at the overall plan, we feel good about our plan we feel we have the right plan. I think one of your questions was how do we know we went far enough? Well, you never really do know. But one thing I do know is that we aren’t going to cost cut ourselves to success. And I also know that we were not going to just kind of grow to success without having some disciplined approach to our spending. And so we feel good about our plan. It satisfies the elements of what we were trying to get to. Now it’s about executing it, so more to come.
Tejas Savant
Got it. And any updated color on customer conversations since you have announced the turnaround. Are there any markets where you are seeing sort of elevated levels of disruption or the possibility of share loss to competition?
Ken Knight
I wouldn’t say elevated, no. What’s been interesting is that in some of the markets where we have decided to exit, we have actually had clients relate to us that number one, they are disappointed in the decision, but they understand. They wish that there was a path forward for us to continue to support them even though we are kind of commercially exiting certain markets. And so we are becoming very nimble in terms of making sure if there is a path to continue to support those clients, we will be interested in reasonable in trying to find a path to do so, because we had spend some time ahead of time really on this plan. And I think we did a really thorough job. We had a really strong communication to our clients and customers upfront as to what we were doing and how it was going to impact them, now there is certain clinical areas like our oncology business that we really have not backed off – backed away from whatsoever. And so we understand that there is probably noise from our competition about what’s happening with Invitae. But we have had already solid communications with our clients and customers. And we are pretty pleased right now with the reaction. I mean, this is like I said, it’s a tough situation, but we are pretty pleased with the reaction from our clients and in terms of understanding, wanting to continue to work with us and trying to navigate a path to do so if there were any impact to them at all.
Tejas Savant
Got it. Again, in terms of essentially, what remains in Invitae, which is you have got germline testing and reproductive health and sort of a fledgling somatic testing business that you hope to grow on the clinical side? What do you view as your sort of key competitive mode on a go forward basis versus some of your peers, like a Sema4 or Myriad or some of these other companies, because these are increasingly competitive settings?
Ken Knight
Yes, no doubt. I am reminded that competition is actually a good thing. It’s a great thing for patients and clients and customers to have competition. So, firstly I am not intimidated nor overly consumed with the fact that there is competition. However, your point about the competitive mode, when I think about the true strength of our company is that, our broad portfolio is a unique proposition for us. We are in fact strong and a leader in germline testing in our oncology space. We obviously have a growing – a rapidly growing women’s health business in our NIPS and carrier products or have been just outstanding for us this year and last year and they continue to grow. And then we have a rare disease part of our company that we are really starting to get off the ground. And as we tie it all together, so first of all, our broad portfolio we think is gives us a competitive advantage. And then as we start to think about our digital tools that we are putting in place to help with decision support and aggregation of testing and how we can present ourselves from an ordering and processing standpoint, the ability for us to navigate through multiple clinical areas and tie it all together for clinicians around the world is strong for us and then as we tie – we bring in our patient data network that we are really starting to get excited about the combination of our genetic testing, our digital tools that we are putting in place that are kind of bridging between the healthcare provider network and potentially other growth opportunities that we are pursuing and then finally pulling together the patient data network. That’s a competitive mode that’s going to be very difficult to deal with. We have to execute it all.
Tejas Savant
Got it. Well, that’s actually a perfect segue into my next question. I mean, over the years Invitae has generated a very significant amount of data driven by the scale of your business. And so, talk to us about how do you envision sort of monetizing that data? Is that something which we will see you do more aggressively over the next couple of years here? And I think you recently announced a partnership with Simons Searchlight as well for neuro disorders. So, any color on that would be helpful as well?
Ken Knight
Yes, I think the Simons Searchlight as well as the practice announcement that they recently released that demonstrated how our combination of the genotypical data that we have. We have more than just about anybody else. So, the kind of way we view it is that genetic data is more valuable when shared. We also view that genetic data combined with phenotypic data is more valuable when combined. And so as we look at our approach to kind of the data play, it’s really about being able to provide especially early on our pharma partners with a more efficient use of patients for trials, a more efficient use of information for validation and in bringing their medicines to the marketplace. We want to become the most effective partner for them. And we expect that we will be able to extract value for us as a result of that. And so it’s starting to show, I mean, the practice and is starting to show that combining those two unique pieces of information is taking time out of the development process and it’s also resulting in better outcomes. And so that’s how we see it unfolding.
Tejas Savant
Got it. And what does the restructuring mean for your cancer screening efforts that you were hoping to invest in? I mean, that’s obviously a very large TAM, it was something that Shawn had spoken about in this as an internal R&D project and then with the possibility of looking at external partnerships etcetera as well. Where does that stand in the pecking order today of things you want to focus on over the next 12 months?
Ken Knight
I’d say I wasn’t on the pecking list prior. And so it’s not on the pecking list now. It doesn’t mean that we won’t eventually get to that. One of the great things about going through the process we did is it really forced us to be intentional about prioritization and focus. And one of the things that we have heard on an often basis from our folks is that, hey, we may have been trying to do too many things. And so find a narrow end somewhat and focus is what we have done. So that was not on our list before. And it’s still something we might do in the future, but it’s not currently in the cards for us.
Tejas Savant
Got it. And any updates on the PCM side of things, I mean, you are in early stages of the launcher, but it’s clearly an interesting market reimbursement is opening up that pretty rapidly as well. How do you see that playing out over the next 12 to 18 months?
Ken Knight
Yes, reimbursements not open up as rapidly as I would like. But I kind of maybe have a different sense of time. And I think time is the most underappreciated asset that we have. And I try not to waste time, but PCM is doing well for us. We have got some studies that are going to be hopefully published in Q4 this year that continue to confirm the utility of our MRD product called PCM, personalized cancer monitoring. We love our technology. Our AMP technology is different than some of the approaches that others are taking. We are tumor specific. And we believe we have sensitivity and specificity capabilities that are going to be market leaders. And we are working hard right now on our workflows on behalf of our clinicians to really make the utility and the adoption of this technology or this approach to clinical care to continue to grow and grow and grow. We see it as a growing piece of the oncology puzzle. And this is one where when you talked about the competitive mode, I mean, we have the – we will have the combination of genetic germline testing, somatic therapy selection and therapy guidance as well as our MRD product for monitoring of the progression and successful elimination of cancer in the patients. So we will have that unique capability throughout the entire spectrum of oncology.
Tejas Savant
Got it. And that sort of leads me to my next question, Ken, on just within the outer context, how do you envision sort of structuring this deal? I mean, you just mentioned the AMP chemistry presumably you want to keep leveraging it even after the divestiture. So is this a situation where we should think of licensing the IP as a path forward for you there?
Ken Knight
Yes. I mean, I am not going to get into a lot of details about how the potential wind down divestiture of the kitted business will unfold. Clearly, we are going to continue the PCM and the technology in the IP for that is core to our approach and finding an ability to divest our distributed kits business requires a partnership that acknowledges that fact.
Tejas Savant
Got it. Fair enough. You talked about not being able to sort of cut your way to growth. So as you as you think about your capital allocation priorities over the next 12 months, how are you thinking about internal R&D partnerships, M&A, I mean, some of these markets, reproductive health or even germline testing, it’s sales hustle that kind of like gets you over the finish line right versus sort of tremendous product differentiation across the different players in the market. I mean, everyone says that product is best, but at the end of the day, if you talk to docs, you talk to patients, the marketing aspect and the sales aspect are certainly more dominant. So, given the risks that you went through, how is employee morale and the commercial functions within the organization and how do you envision sort of – is there a sort of a SWOT team in-house for, to make sure that interesting, important initiatives, projects, investments don’t die on the vine as you look to dig down your cash burn and focus on profitability, etcetera?
Ken Knight
Yes, I mean, first of all, our commercial team has been really strong throughout this entire process. What’s interesting about 2022 is actually – we have actually expanded our commercial teams into some channels that we were not prior previously kind of operating in. So there has been expansion in our commercial team. Now, we expect that expansion yields return and we are not apologetic about that. But at the same time, we have invested in our commercial team. And so there are spaces where we are actually growing, and there are spaces where we decided to contract. And I will give you an example. I mean we talked about that we were prior to our realignment, probably selling in about 120 countries around the world. Well, that number is significantly lower now. And so, yes, there is an impact on our sales and marketing team in those regions and territories where we are no longer going to be selling. But there are places where we are in, we are in. And I didn’t talk much about our pharmacogenomics product, that’s another part of our portfolio that we believe gives us a unique competitive advantage. If you think about the life of a patient and the different things that a patient in rare disease or oncology is going through, one of the things is that they have oftentimes a lot of prescription medication and so we want to see how that can get unlocked, and we have invested commercial teams to go do that. And so, commercially, it’s never, both never have as many people as they want. But I can assure you that it’s been very well thought out in terms of continuing to go after the commercial marketplace. Now, the interesting thing about, what you talk about is that you are right, the traditional approach to getting volume and revenue in this space has been boots on the ground, and you got to go after the hearts and minds of the clinicians and the genetic counselors, etcetera. We still have that in our DNA. But we are also exploring other ways to grow the business in terms of other channels. And that’s where our digital play is looking to grow our business in an untraditional manner. And we are experimenting with that. And that’s where when I think about, where we are putting capital. We are putting capital into things that we know we can win. And we are putting capital in those things we want to experiment and try to find new paths. And so when we built that plan, we built the plan that allowed us to do those two things in tandem. We didn’t cut to the point where we are just going to be a stagnant entity. We are still experimenting and innovating. But we are doing it in a responsible way. It almost seems like actually more on experimenting in a responsible way. But we are trying to figure out how to do that.
Tejas Savant
Got it. I have to ask you a few sort of near-term questions, you are going to I mean, in terms of the macro environment on the margin, you are getting a little bit worse, growing sort of concerns around a recession, etcetera. Are you still comfortable with your back half guide? I think it was sort of flattish growth versus the first half, is that still the right framework to use?
Ken Knight
Yes. There is still no change there.
Tejas Savant
Got it. And as we think about that 15% to 25% long-term growth target? Can you just share some color on what’s the build up to that 15% to 25%? And what are the underlying sort of like market growth versus price versus share assumptions?
Ken Knight
Yes. I mean I think some of the assumptions that go into that is we think about our oncology business, somewhere between 10%, maybe up to 20% depending on the clinical area of the germline side.
Tejas Savant
Yes. In the germline, okay.
Ken Knight
Of patients who are – there is guidelines in place for, there is support for germline testing, only 10% to 20% of the patients in those arenas are actually getting tested. The pie will continue to get bigger as adoption continues to grow. And that’s – so that’s one thing. Obviously, with our move into somatic and to MRD, we are opening up a new source of revenue there. Our women’s health business has been growing wonderfully over the last couple of years. We have no reason to expect that we cannot continue to grow that business. And then as I have talked about before, with our data play, we are opening up new growth channels. And so we have got enough places where we don’t have to hit homeruns in everything. We have enough places where we have a view of success that we feel pretty, pretty solid on our 15% to 25% growth even though we know we are putting some disruption in our own marketplace right now, because of our realignment. And so that’s why we have talked about the some of the exiting businesses are going to have an impact by the end of this year, and then the core of remaining businesses will be growing at a 15% to 25% pace, and till we know better.
Tejas Savant
Got it. On the COGS side of things, I mean obviously sequencing COGS are poised to come down very meaningfully. That’s I mean first of all, how much is sequencing as a percent of your COGS, probably 15% to 20% is the right zip code? Okay. Alright. And if so, then what are the other sort of levers you are focused on in terms of just reducing your COGS and improving gross margins?
Ken Knight
Yes. I mean it’s, when you think about kind of the life of the order, it starts from supply chain and relative to our kits and logistics. We are working hard on that part of the business, kind of putting some automation into our varied interpretation aspects. One of the advantages of doing all the sequencing that we have done is that we have probably more insight in the variance than just about anybody else. And so automating our varied interpretation is a big part of what we are trying to do. So, as I have said before, when you look at the fact that our gross margins have been steadily improving over the last four quarters or so, that doesn’t happen by accident by the way. And there has been a lot of kind of discovery of our own selves is where we have opportunities, and then teams getting charged up about going out and making an improvement. And so I don’t know maybe you were talking about the PacBio.
Tejas Savant
Sure. That as well as some of the newer players in the market?
Ken Knight
Yes. We are excited about this. We do some experimentation of our own about our own laboratory operation. We have – we are trying to kind of, we imagine how you can go from sample to data, which is where a lot of the COGS occurs. And so we have got some discovery efforts internally of our own. It does require the sequencing piece to get better and we are excited to see what Illumina and PacBio and others can do to try to drive that cost down.
Tejas Savant
Got it. Makes sense? Last question, you are in a minute or so. Can you just share some color on your conversations with Randy, now that he is back as Chairman of the Board. In a sense, I mean he is the guy who laid out that long-term vision for Invitae being, the Amazon of genetic testing when it grows up. Sean sort of ran the company under very different operating circumstances where capital is essentially free. You have been brought in to focus on profitable growth, just walk us through sort of to the extent that you can share, his philosophy, your philosophy, to take Invitae forward.
Ken Knight
First of all, it’s great to have Randy back as our as our Chairperson of our Board. Randy and I had a chance to meet and talk before any of the changes took place. And I found that he and I were more aligned, and not about how we looked at the future of the company. I would also say, look, I wasn’t brought into simply craft a path forward Invitae to become profitable. The thing is, is that generating cash is as important to the ability to have kind of an innovative high growth type of a company, as just about anything else, because you have to put fuel into the tank. And so I think Randy and I are really aligned. And it’s been wonderful to have him come in after being away for a while, and kind of pressure test some of our concepts and some of our strategies. I think he has been great to have that extra set of eyes and for the most part, he has really been aligned with what we are doing and has tweaked it when he needed to. So, it’s been great.
End of Q&A
Tejas Savant
Got it. Great. On that note, we will call it a wrap.
Ken Knight
Thank you very much.
Tejas Savant
Thank you so much. Appreciate the time.
Ken Knight
Thank you.
Tejas Savant
Good to meet you.

The Myanmar government is at war with the Arakan Army and a few mortar shells landed on the Bangladeshi side from Myanmar recently. The foreign ministry protested the incidents.
In earlier remarks on 10 September, Asaduzzaman said that the government has asked Myanmar to refrain from firing shots towards the Bangladesh border.
He made those remarks at a seminar organised by Bangladesh Mahila Oikya Parishad at the National Museum.
Commemorating the contribution of police during the 1971 Liberation War in Rajshahi region, the minister said the museum will help the new generation know about their heroism and patriotism. “Bangladesh will never forget their contributions,” he said.
Later, Asaduzzaman also unveiled a book titled ‘Muktijuddhe Rajshahi Police’ and joined an anti-narcotic and anti-terrorism discussion.
He praised the role of police in combating militancy and terrorism risking their own lives.
About the drugs he said these are coming from the neighbouring countries. He also sought help from all to eradicate drugs and protect the new generation. The government and law enforcement agencies can’t alone stop the onslaught of drugs on the young people, he added.

Insecurity: Buhari kept Imo safe from bandits, criminals – Gov Uzodinma claims
The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has said only the prompt intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari put a stop to bandits and other criminal elements over-running the state.
Uzodinma stated this on Tuesday during the president’s visit to commission some projects executed by the governor.
The governor thanked Buhari for intervening in the security crisis bedevilling the state and other parts of the Southeast.
He said, “Your prompt intervention helped to restore peace and order in our state. But for your timely, prompt and fatherly intervention through the security agencies, Imo State would have been overrun by bandits and hoodlums. For this, I also say thank you Mr President,”
DAILY POST earlier reported that Buhari inaugurated the 36km dual carriageway of Owerri-Orlu road in Imo.
The president subsequently met with South-East leaders.
However, other governors of the South East were conspicuously absent.

A Minnesota drug dealer who sold fentanyl to customers who thought they were taking an Adderall-like product, leading to 11 overdose deaths, was sentenced Monday to life in prison.
Aaron Broussard, 32, was convicted in March of 17 counts, including distribution of fentanyl resulting in death.
“Eleven lives lost. Families, friends, and communities forever changed by the devastation brought on by Aaron Broussard’s deadly fentanyl,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger said in a statement.
“Although the trauma felt by the victims can never be undone and the true cost can never be calculated, Mr. Broussard will now spend the remainder of his life behind bars.”
According to prosecutors, Broussard worked with China-based suppliers to smuggle drugs into the country through his website, PlantFoodUSA.net, then mailed the product around the country.
In March 2016, he ordered a shipment that came incorrectly as 100 grams of 99% pure fentanyl and failed to test the product, despite being told to after a mix-up a year earlier. Instead, Broussard shipped the product to more than a dozen customers who believed they were getting an amphetamine analogue, similar to Adderall.
“They were not opiate users and had no tolerance for the deadly fentanyl Broussard sent them,” according to the Department of Justice.
Eleven customers died from a fentanyl overdose and four suffered serious bodily injury.
Even after being told about the adverse reactions, including hospitalizations, Broussard continued distributing the drugs, but did ask for a discount from his Chinese suppliers, according to prosecutors.
“Your disregard for human life is terrifying,” Senior U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson told Broussard during sentencing.

Emmys Feature a Shot at Donald Trump, Get Flak from Critics for 'Woefully Bad Production Choices'
The 74th Emmy Awards were handed out Monday night in a show that featured the now-standard slam at former President Donald Trump and left reviewers seeking for ways to describe its overall vapid essence.
The New York Times, for example, summed up the show as “light and forgettable.”
Reviewer Mike Hale dismissed the production by saying it “settled into an amiable and inoffensive, formless and graceless groove. Not much to get excited about; not much to get upset about. Another one in the books.”
And another anti-Trump moment.
Actor Martin Short, who presented the award for the Best Variety Talk Series category, tried to make a Trump joke work.
“Really, what an audience you are,” he said, according to The Hill.
“I wish I could box you up and take you home, like classified White House documents,” he added.
The Hollywood Reporter declared that the show made “some woefully bad production choices” as well as “odd, sometimes terrible telecast decisions.”
“I barely remember the telecast at all. But hey, at least it wasn’t a catastrophe?” Daniel Fienberg wrote for The Hollywood Reporter as he compared the show to the Oscars awards show made famous by actor Will Smith storming on stage to slap comedian Chris Rock.
Fienberg wrote that “a ‘been there, done that’ feeling suffocated the second half of the show.”
Even a brief highlight left other parts of the show looking flat, he noted, panning the work of host Kenan Thompson.
“It didn’t help when Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez presented together and had much better material, prompting no end of ‘Why aren’t they hosting?” tweets,” Fienberg wrote.

Writing for Variety, Daniel D’Addario noted that “much of the production seemed strangely stuck in a hazy past.”
At Deadline, critic Dominic Pattern said the show “made the small screen feel just that bit smaller in its lack of real ambition.”
Noting that the show had highlights, including Sheryl Lee Ralph’s song and remarks after winning an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as a kindergarten teacher on ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” he concluded that “the Emmys spent too much time tripping over its own feet tonight.”
Before a brief speech, Ralph belted out the beginning of the women’s rights anthem “Endangered Species,” as NBC reported.
“I am an endangered species but I sing no victim’s song. I am a woman, I am an artist, and I know where my voice belongs.”
Woah….. Sheryl Lee Ralph really took us to church with her amazing acceptance speech at the #emmys last night! 🙏👏🙏👏 pic.twitter.com/o6UmM2CiYw
— Anthony Buchanan (@anthonyscountry) September 13, 2022
“What exactly was the 2022 Emmys trying to be?” Pattern wrote. “Because, tying to be all things to all people is spreading yourself way too thin and ends up pleasing few in the end, as many an Oscar, Grammy and past Emmy show has shown.”

Former federal prosecutor Geoffrey Berman has accused former Attorney General Bill Barr of firing him from his post because his department’s investigations at the time threatened Trump’s 2020 reelection chances.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” on Monday, Berman, who was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York told host Rachel Maddow that his department was working on several cases including one involving former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon in the months ahead of the election.
Reading from a book by Berman to be published titled "Holding the Line," Maddow asked the former federal prosecutor to address the notion that Barr "no doubt believed that by removing me he could eliminate a threat to Trump's reelection."
"How was your work as U.S. attorney a threat to Trump's reelection?" Maddow asked.
“Well, at the time I was fired, the Southern District of New York was working on a couple politically sensitive cases. One of those cases is the Steve Bannon 'we build the wall' case and we were very close to indicting that case around the time I got fired, and Barr knew about the case,” Berman told Maddow.
Once Bannon was indicted by Berman's successor, Trump pardoned Bannon, which Berman called "outrageous."
He also noted his office had also been investigating Lev Parnes and Igor Fruman, two Trump allies, who were eventually convicted of campaign finance charges that involved funneling money from a Russian tycoon into American political campaigns.
Earlier Monday, Berman told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the Trump administration’s Department of Justice pressured him to indict former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig before the midterm elections and prosecute former Secretary of State John Kerry.
Trump fired Berman in 2020 after he refused to resign from his position.
“I’ve never seen anything like that before, and I was a junior prosecutor in the Southern District in the early 90s and I’d never seen anything like that,” Berman told GMA co-anchor George Stephanopoulos. “People who have been in the office for 40 years never saw anything like that. It was unprecedented and scary.”

WASHINGTON — As inflation remains a heavy burden for Americans, Social Security recipients are left to wonder how much of a cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) they'll receive next year.
The latest consumer pricing data revealed Tuesday that U.S. inflation slowed for a second straight month, but excluding energy most other items got more expensive in August.
How much could social security increase in 2023?
The Senior Citizens League, a non-partisan advocacy group for seniors, estimates the Social Security benefits increase for next year may be 8.7%, based on the data released Tuesday morning. Last month, the group estimated it to be 9.6%, based on data at the time.
If the current estimate holds, it would be the highest cost-of-living-adjustment since 1981 when it was 11.2%.
"A COLA of 8.7% is extremely rare and would be the highest ever received by most Social Security beneficiaries alive today," the Senior Citizens League said in a press release.
When will Social Security increase be announced?
We won't know the 2023 COLA for sure until mid-October, when the Social Security Administration announces it. Last year's increase was 5.9%, the highest in 39 years. Over the previous 10 years, it averaged about 1.7% annually as inflation remained low.
When consumer price data showed inflation at a 40-year high in June, the Senior Citizens League calculated its COLA prediction to be as high as 10.5%. But as inflation has slowed since then, the expected increase for Social Security recipients has dipped as well.
How much more would Social Security recipients get in 2023?
The exact amount depends on your monthly Social Security retirement benefit. TSCL said for the average benefit of $1,656, the projected COLA of 8.7% would add $144.10 for a total of around $1,800.
There's also time for circumstances to change. The Social Security Administration has one more month of data to factor into its COLA for 2023, so the actual increase may vary.
Can Social Security keep paying large COLAs?
Social Security trustees said in their report this year that Social Security’s trust fund will be unable to pay full benefits beginning in 2035. This date was pushed back a year from the previous estimate due to stronger-than-expected economic recovery.
Social Security pays benefits to more than 65 million Americans, mainly retirees as well as disabled people and survivors of deceased workers. When the Social Security trust fund is depleted, the government will be able to pay 80% of scheduled benefits, the report said.
Such a reduction would represent a major hardship for most people who depend on Social Security, even middle-class retirees.

KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY: In line with King Abdullah Economic City’s (KAEC) efforts to realize its projects and ambitions within the city alongside third-party investors and partners, KAEC has recently signed AlHussan Group on as The World Academy’s (TWA) dedicated school operator.
TWA is an international school in KAEC for boys and girls aged 3 – 18. The school is characterized by its broad and balanced curriculum, inspirational teaching, and outstanding facilities.
TWA opened its doors in 2006 as the city’s first K-12 school. Today, the school boasts over 500 students and over 50 teaching staff and assistants. KAEC had been in discussions with several school operators in their search for a candidate that was ideally suited to facilitating an enriching school environment for children of TWA and ensuring a better quality of teaching and learning. A thorough evaluation was conducted on all potential operators based upon key metrics that directly impacted the education of TWA’s students, such as their previous academic results, local expertise, ranking, and accreditations from renowned educational bodies. AlHussan Group was eventually selected by KAEC to take TWA forward in its constant pursuit of excellence. The appointment of AlHussan Group as TWA’s trusted operator aligns with KAEC’s enhanced strategy to leverage the expertise of third-party experts to introduce better services into the city.
AlHussan Group’s framework currently includes more than 17 schools, 12,000 students and 2,700 staff members employed in KSA. With more than 65 years of service in the field of education, the school operator offers the high standards of both the Cambridge curriculum and the U.S. diploma system, as well as the International Baccalaureate (IB) program across a number of its schools. AlHussan Group is currently ranked as the 5th best school operator in the Kingdom according to the Ministry of Education.
Commenting on AlHussan Group’s appointment as TWA operator, Cyril Piaia, Chief Executive Officer at King Abdullah Economic City stated: “It is with great joy that we begin our partnership with AlHussan Group, the new operator of this city’s beloved TWA. AlHussan Group undoubtedly brings a wealth of experience to the table, with their efforts to establish a network of international schools throughout Saudi Arabia dating as far back as 1957. Education is an important cornerstone of any city, and we are committed to the same educational objectives that we established when we first opened our doors. This includes creating an active learning environment, putting students first, and fostering social and emotional learning. We will keep to our promise of providing a learning environment that brings out the best in all our students, and we believe AlHussan Group are the right partners to work hand-in-hand with as we continue to empower students of TWA and our city.”
Rashid AlHussan, Chairman of AlHussan Group, commented: “What struck us the most in our initial conversations with KAEC and TWA representatives was their immense belief in this city as a home to great minds that will go on to shape both its future and that of the Kingdom. With this in mind, we could not be more excited to begin working with TWA and its distinguished staff and student body.”
This agreement is one of many that KAEC has recently inked with leading educational institutes from around the world to promote fruitful knowledge exchange, human capital development, and a desire for lifelong learning amongst its residents. In the long term, KAEC aims to integrate the very best aspects of its international partners’ diverse educational models to help the city’s students think both locally and globally.

Investors in Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (PTEN - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Nov 18, 2022 $6 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for PattersonUTI Energy shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, PattersonUTI Energy is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) in the Oil and Gas - Drilling industry that ranks in the Top 9% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, three analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none have revised their estimates downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 11 cents per share to 18 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about PattersonUTI Energy right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

States would be free to develop energy resources on federal lands within their borders, a series of Trump-era regulations would be set into law and a West Virginia pipeline would be approved under a Republican permitting bill that adds a wrinkle to Democrats’ internal squabble over the same issues.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., the top GOP member on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, released the bill Monday, inching out her home-state peer Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., who is expected to unveil a separate permitting proposal any day.
Capito said her bill, which has 38 other Republican co-sponsors, would “provide regulatory certainty to states, expedite permitting and review processes, codify substantive environmental regulatory reforms, and expedite permitting of the critically important Mountain Valley Pipeline.”
Though the text is not yet public, Manchin’s bill, which has drawn significant blowback from House Democrats, would also approve the pipeline, now under construction, to carry natural gas from West Virginia to Virginia.
With a potential government shutdown looming at the end of the month, Manchin’s permitting proposal has emerged as a potential stumbling block if it is included in any end-of-fiscal-year spending bills or other must-pass legislation.
As of Monday afternoon, 77 House Democrats had expressed their opposition to Manchin’s permitting proposal, likely foreclosing passage of the West Virginian’s proposal absent significant support from Republican members.
But Manchin did not appear concerned.
“The legislation will come from Schumer,” Manchin said. “We pretty much have signed off on everything.”
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said last week the Manchin proposal was included in funding to keep the government running. The two senators reached a deal that Schumer would arrange for a vote on Manchin’s proposal in return for his support of the new climate law.
“As my colleagues know, negotiations continue on a CR to extend funding through about mid-December, which hopefully will give appropriators enough time to draft an omnibus funding package,” Schumer said Monday, using the shorthand for a continuing resolution to keep the government running.
“No one wants to see a shutdown, and I know that includes my Republican colleagues,” he said. “But in order to avoid a shutdown, Senate Republicans must continue working with us to resolve the issues that remain.”
Capito tried to attach a permitting-themed amendment to the climate, health and tax budget reconciliation legislation that became law, but that effort fell short in a 50-49 vote, short of the 60 votes needed for adoption.
Her legislation would elevate to law environmental rules the Trump administration proposed to weaken the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, which requires federal agencies to analyze the environmental effects of large construction projects.
It would also codify into law the Trump administration’s definition under the Clean Water Act of “waters of the United States”— a hotly disputed term to describe the extent of federal jurisdiction over bodies of water. That definition is narrower than the one the Obama administration reached and gives the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers less oversight of water pollution.
Separately, Capito’s bill would give states “sole authority” to write or enforce regulations on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, on federal land within their boundaries, and it would allow states the right to “develop energy resources” on federal land within their boundaries, her office said.
The bill would also approve the West Virginia gas line, Mountain Valley Pipeline, within three weeks of it becoming law.
Laura Weiss contributed to this report.

Bail revoked for Harmony Montgomery’s stepmom
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The stepmother of a New Hampshire girl who vanished in 2019 at age 5 will remain jailed following her arrest Friday after she failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing.
A judge on Tuesday granted the state’s motion to revoke bail for Kayla Montgomery, 32, who was arrested Friday at a home in Manchester. An arrest warrant was issued for her Thursday after she did not show up at a hearing on charges against her, including that she lied to state health officials about having Harmony Montgomery in her care.
Kayla Montgomery had pleaded not guilty and was out on bail. Her attorney did not object to the revocation of bail with the understanding that they may come back in the future with a request to modify bail.
Investigators said last month that they believe Harmony was killed in Manchester in December 2019. Her case has prompted widespread outpouring of support, including vigils and social media sites.
Her father, Adam Montgomery, 31, was indicted in March on an assault charge alleging that he struck Harmony in the face in July 2019. He pleaded not guilty.

Robert Dyas is helping shoppers with top tips and advice on the products that will help them save money as people try to manage their energy bills this winter.
There are many ways in which people can save, and all it takes can be a few changes. It may not be the ultimate solution when it comes to managing household bills, especially if you're on a low income and have several mouths to feed.
A few small changes in the home each day though could make some difference, and as we all know, every little helps.
For example, the hardware retailer states that you could save up to 50% on energy by switching from an oven to an air fryer. The smaller the air fryer the less energy is used and on top of that, there's no need to use oil either.
This 3.2L Salter air fryer is ideal for small families allowing you to cook foods such as meat, fish, jacket potatoes, vegetables, home-made chips, quiches and so much more.
Was £99.99
49.99
ROBERT DYASSave 50% with this Salter EK2818 3.2L Hot Air Fryer which is now half price at £49.99 down from £99.99. The 3.2L air fryer is ideal for small families allowing you to cook foods such as meat, fish, jacket potatoes, vegetables, home-made chips, quiches and so much more.
Just by changing your morning routine and opting for a homemade barista coffee instead of one that's bought at a coffee shop could help you save big.
Why not invest in this Salter EK3131 Espressimo Barista Style Coffee Machine while it's on offer? It's now priced at £34.99 down from £69.99 - enjoy the perfect cup of barista style coffee in minutes!
The retailer also suggests using an indoor airer, doing so will help you save £182.93 per year on tumble dryer costs. This Beldray Three Tier Deluxe Clothes Airer is the perfect solution for drying several items at once, and for just £36.54 it's definitely worth the investment.
The right kettle can also help you save on energy - it also makes sense to only fill it only with the amount of water you're going to need. Filling it to the max line each time means your kettle will boil for longer using more energy.
This Russell Hobbs 28081 Structure 1.7L Fast Boil Kettle is ideal for hot drinks lovers and it's now priced at just £27.99, down from £41.99 - it boils in just 45 seconds saving you up to 62% on energy compared to other kettles.

Hooda seeks special session of Haryana Assembly to discuss common village land issue
Chandigarh: Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Tuesday demanded a special session of the Haryana Assembly to discuss the issue of common village land, whose proprietors are demanding ownership rights.
A number of farmers had staged a protest along the Panchkula-Chandigarh border on Monday demanding ownership rights to those who have been occupying the common land in villages for the past many decades.
In April, the Supreme Court had held that in respect to the land taken from the proprietors from their permissible ceiling limits under a Punjab law, only the management and control would vest with the panchayat and not the title.
Hooda said the state government hastily issued orders to transfer the land in the name of panchayats, creating an atmosphere of chaos in villages.
The state government should call a special session of the Haryana Assembly to discuss the issue and pass a legislation to amend the Land Act, he said.
He also alleged that the government is continuously ignoring the issue.
"Since the Supreme Court's decision earlier this year, the Congress has been demanding amendments to the Land Act to protect the rights of farmers. But despite raising the issue in the assembly earlier, the government did not take it seriously," he said.
Hooda said the Congress had earlier suggested that the government should call a special session of the Assembly and make changes in the Land Act to avoid such a situation.
"Now, the government should immediately convene a special session," he said.
The former Haryana chief minister also took a dig at the government over the procurement of paddy, saying the crop has started arriving in grain markets but its talking of starting the process from October 1.
He demanded that the government start the procurement from September 20.
"Farmers are facing all-out blows due to wrong policies of the government. Their input costs are increasing continuously and income is decreasing," he said.
Hooda reiterated that the state government had "cut" the old-age pension of several beneficiaries.
"Their Parivar Pehchan Patra' (family id) scheme is just a 'pension katu' scheme as the pension of 5.14 lakh elderly, widows and destitute people has been cut," he said.
He reiterated that if the Congress came to power in the state in next Assembly polls, pension will be given to the elderly on the basis of self-declared income by scrapping the Parivar Pehchan Patra scheme.
Hooda also criticised the government over the drug abuse in the state.
"Drugs and crime have become rampant in the state as the law and order has collapsed. The National Crime Records Bureau figures themselves are revealing the truth about the law and order situation, he said.
Regarding the Congress' "Bharat Jodo Yatra", Hooda said it is getting tremendous support.
"The yatra will be given a grand welcome when it enters Haryana. The yatra will remain in Haryana for about 12 days and a big public meeting will be organised in the state during this period," he said.

MyCarrier Secures Funding from NewRoad Capital Partners to Accelerate SaaS Platform Expansion Beyond LTL/TL for Other Multimodal Shipping Needs
PHOENIX, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MyCarrier, a technology company with a freight shipping platform for small and midsize shippers, announced that it has raised a $22 million Series B round. The round was led by NewRoad Capital Partners, an operator-led, demand driven investment firm focused on high-growth supply chain and logistics technology companies and consumer brands with innovative technologies, products, and services. Existing investors, Greycroft and Lerer Hippeau, also participated. The financing will enable the company to accelerate its platform offerings and expand its product, R&D, and go-to-market teams.
MyCarrier was founded in 2017 by Michael Bookout and Chris Scheid with the goal of becoming the ubiquitous platform that connects small and midsize shippers and carriers instantly, without barriers, to fuel the future of supply chain. MyCarrier's platform generates automated quotes based on the user's shipment characteristics and enables booking execution with electronic bills of lading, enhanced visibility, dynamic insurance, and payments. MyCarrier's platform ease-of-use, data, and distribution model create efficiencies for both shippers and carriers, differentiating it from the competition.
Michael Bookout, MyCarrier CEO and Co-founder, has focused on enhancing shipper and carrier relationships to simplify shipping for both parties.
"From the beginning, our vision and approach were based on strong partnering, working hand-in-hand with carrier partners and customers to streamline the carrier and shipper experience to create exceptional business and customer outcomes," Bookout said. MyCarrier President and Co-founder Chris Scheid added, "By doing so, we've been able to break down technology fears previously seen throughout the SMB market and successfully deliver never-before-offered technology. Today, we are providing small and medium-sized businesses with visibility into their supply chains, once only available to large enterprises. And it's absolutely needed given global supply chain disruptions and chaos."
The latest round of funding, which follows the company's $8 million Series A funding last March, is aimed at expanding the MyCarrier platform beyond less-than-truckload and full-truckload to meet other multimodal shipping needs. Domestic SMB shippers need more visibility across ocean, air, and rail for better insights into incoming freight. In addition to multimodal shipping needs, MyCarrier has its sights on freight audit and pay, broadening its ERP and WMS integrations, and developing a rich set of data intelligence tools for both carriers and shippers. These investments will enable SMB shippers to be more productive, reducing overhead costs.
"Mike and Chris are industry veterans that really understand the challenges in the industry and have built an outstanding team and technology platform that is easy to use and drives major operational efficiencies for both shippers and carriers," said Tracy Black, Partner at NewRoad Capital Partners and former SVP of IT at J.B. Hunt. "We are excited to partner with them in the next stage of growth and applying the same great technology to additional modes and to the freight audit and payment process." Following this round, Tracy Black will join MyCarrier's board of directors.
The company currently serves more than 5,000 shippers, including Lucas Oil, IPC Global, U-Haul and Malouf Home. MyCarrier has platform automation partnerships with 15 top-rated LTL carriers, including ODFL, Saia, Estes, and Averitt, and over 70+ integration carrier partners. These partnerships have unlocked rapid growth in MyCarrier's marketplace, growing platform revenue by 124%, insurance revenue by 150%, and platform shipments by 52% year over year. The platform's active shippers grew by 57% in Q2 to 5,162, contributing to an ARR of $9.4M in August. Platform freight network revenue is forecast to exceed a $1 billion run rate in 2022.
"Carriers need more efficient ways of serving customers, providing innovative data-driven shipping solutions that are easy to implement and use," said Ray Ramu, EVP and Chief Customer Officer at Saia. "MyCarrier has provided just that; a platform that offers our customers transformative digital capabilities that streamline their shipping process. On top of that, the platform provides key insights into our customer needs and trends more effectively, dramatically improving our operational agility."
MyCarrier, a transformative shipping management platform, has partnered with the industry's largest carriers to provide unprecedented efficiencies and value-based visibility. MyCarrierTMS and MyCarrierTMS Pro use innovative API technology to connect shippers directly to their carriers, creating a seamless end-to-end shipping process and providing unrivaled data that leads to easier shipping management, cost savings, and increased efficiencies.

Court orders HIV test for man accused of defiling minor
A 24-year-old man charged with defiling and infecting a 14-year-old minor with a virus in Eldoret will undergo a medical examination at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH).
An Eldoret court on Monday directed Kevin Njomo to be taken to MTRH for an HIV test following a request from prosecutors.
State Counsel Jamleck Mureithi asked for more time to take the accused to hospital for the test before he is released on bond.
Mr Mureithi said the child tested positive for HIV after she was defiled, and the State wanted to ascertain if the accused infected her so as to add a new charge.
“We object to the accused being released on bond for now. The victim tested positive for HIV and we would like to subject the accused to an HIV test to ascertain whether he deliberately infected the minor …,” Mr Mureithi told Eldoret Senior Resident Magistrate Christine Menya.
The court heard that the accused defiled the minor in Turbo sub-county on September 8, contrary to the Sexual Offences Act of 2006. He denied the charge.
The case will be mentioned on September 26 for further directions, If the suspect is found to be HIV-positive, he will be charged with deliberately infecting the child with HIV.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Fifteen years after being rejected as too controversial, Malcolm X has been inducted as the newest member of the Nebraska Hall of Fame.
The organization’s commission selected the civil rights icon on Monday with a 4-3 vote, edging out the late University of Nebraska educator and author Louise Pound.
“Malcolm X used the lessons he learned early in life and his intellectual power, dedication and perseverance in the fight for freedom and equality for all during the civil rights movement in America," said commission chairman Ron Hull. "His work and his legacy continue to impact the citizens of the world.”
Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925 as the son of a Baptist preacher. His family left for Milwaukee the following year after threats from the Ku Klux Klan.
At 20, he was convicted of burglary in New York and sentenced to nearly seven years in prison, where he converted to Islam and later changed his name. He emerged as a fiery Nation of Islam minister with a message that Black people should cast off white oppression “by any means necessary,” before later splitting from the Nation of Islam and renouncing racial separatism.
He was assassinated in Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom by gunmen who opened fire during a speaking engagement.
The firebrand was first nominated for Nebraska's Hall of Fame in 2004, but passed over by a commission made up solely of white men who instead selected a mid-1900s U.S. senator who made a name for himself with his campaign to remove gay men from government posts in the 1940′s and 1950′s. The pick of Sen. Kenneth Wherry was later nixed because of an open-meetings violation.
Malcolm X was passed over again in 2007 for little-known botanist Charles Bessey.
Each Nebraska Hall of Fame member is immortalized with a bronze bust displayed in the state Capitol. Malcolm X is Nebraska's first Black Hall of Fame honoree.

Carlow, Ireland and the world united in music by a travelling stage on the back of a van
This year, Ukraine has undergone what was an unthinkable event for its country and people, but they managed to win the hearts of the rest of the world through music, as they won this year’s Eurovision Song Contest and it hasn’t stopped there.
Last month, celebrated Ukrainian Independence Day (Aug 24) – a hard day for many to be positive if in asylum overseas, but there are many nuggets of hope for refugees in Ireland.
One being, as Festival in a Van, supported by Creative Ireland and Ireland’s Local Authority Network, tour a new international concert series of events, until October.
The Shared Music Sessions now comes to Carlow on Tuesday 20 September, performing in the Ballon Community Centre and Toughers, Dublin Road.
Initially an idea to keep music and theatre alive during Covid, Festival in a Van is now about to tour the country to provide a vital cultural link for Ukrainian and other refugees in Ireland.
With Irish and Ukrainian musicians making a musical marriage, together with musicians from other refugee communities, Festival in a Van’s The Shared Music Sessions tours twenty counties, with twenty six days of sessions, which commenced across the Kingdom County in celebration of Ukrainian Independence Day last month.
Festival in a Van’s Gemma Tipton said, “In times of global turmoil, small things can feel like a drop in an angry ocean, and yet it is so important to keep doing those small things. Connecting people through culture and our shared love of music can go way beyond words at the most difficult of times.”
Gemma Tipton set up Festival in a Van in 2020, turning a box van into a mobile stage, as a way of keeping live performance going during Covid. Travelling in a bubble, and armed with oceans of hand sanitiser, the Festival in a Van team were able to visit care homes, schools, residential centres and direct provision centres touring music, theatre and poetry.
Finn Furey Féile in a Van
In 2020 Festival in a Van:
· Staged more than 60 performances in 11 counties
· Worked with 48 musicians, singers, poets, artists and performers
· with a team of 15 theatre professionals, designers and production artists
· and reached more than 2,500 people, throughout all levels of lockdown
In 2021 they brought our Words Move Tour across the Island.
When Festival in a Van comes to visit...
Vans arrive to streets, housing estates or apartment blocks. They come to care homes, rural spots, parking lots or village squares. The doors open. In one, an actor delivers a dramatic monologue. In another a musician makes their own kind of magic, a singer sings songs or arias. In another a poet recites, a writer reads.
“For truly Safe Craic: Festival in a Van gets the show back on the road.”

Warm fall in the forecast for Ottawa, weather agencies predict
A warm fall is in the forecast for the city of Ottawa, as the leaves begin to change for the new season.
Both the Weather Network and Environment Canada are predicting above-seasonal temperatures for Ottawa and eastern Ontario through the fall, with below average precipitation.
The Weather Network released its fall forecast on Tuesday, calling for above-seasonal temperatures for much of the fall season, with temperatures returning to "typical late-fall weather" during November.
"Warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected to dominate much of the fall season, with extended periods of pleasant weather continuing through October," the Weather Network said.
"However, there are signs that the mild pattern will break down before we get to the end of the season, which would result in periods of more typical late-fall weather during November. Keep in mind, November is the month that typically brings our first tastes of early winter weather."
The Weather Network forecast says fewer storms than "what we typically see" are expected in Ontario this fall, but the couple that do occur could be enough to bring precipitation to near normal for the season. Ottawa typically sees 19 cm of snow in November, according to the Weather Network.
The Weather Network says the monthly normal high temperatures for Ottawa are 21.1C in September, 13.2 C in October and 5.7 C in November.
Environment Canada's fall forecast released on Sept. 1 calls for above normal temperatures through September, October November, with below-normal rain and snowfall through the three month period.

Man sentenced to 20 years for overdose death of teen who died days before graduation
PLAQUEMINES PARISH, La. (WVUE/Gray News) – A man who pleaded guilty to selling fake pills to a teen has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after she died of a fentanyl overdose, according to the Plaquemines Parish District Attorney’s Office.
Hailey Deickman, an 18-year-old senior at Belle Chasse High School, died of an overdose one week before graduation on May 18, 2021. District Attorney Charles Ballay says Deikman took half of what she believed was a Percocet pill she and a friend purchased from 22-year-old Franklin Senfles.
Senfles was arrested and indicted on one count of second-degree murder later that month, but he entered a guilty plea to a lesser charge of manslaughter on Sept. 6. Plaquemines Parish Judge Kevin Conner sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
Deickman’s mother says she was an honor roll student who stayed out of trouble and made one bad choice that cost her her life.
The Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office said Deickman’s death should serve as a wake-up call, especially for young kids who may not understand the dangers of counterfeit pills.
“These counterfeit pills are disguised to look like Oxycodone, pain medications, Xanax,” DEA Special Agent Brad Byerley said. “People are buying these pills off the street, thinking they’re buying something that a health care provider prescribed to someone.”

Districts blow PDM cash on workshops
What you need to know:
- Local governments are on the spot for violating PDM guidelines and misappropriating funds.
- Sources close to this publication say at least five districts have been implicated in corruption.
More than Shs1.5 billion for Parish Development Model (PDM) implementation was blown up by different districts on workshops and other programmes not included in the implementation guidelines in the 2021/2022 Financial Year, Monitor has learnt.
Sources familiar with the inside dealings say when districts received the money, they diverted the funds to organise workshops, which had not been planned for. This forced the Ministry of Local Government and other government agencies to swing into action and arrest top district leaders.
The latest arrest happened in Apac District where the district statistician, Mr Monica Atim, was detained by police after she was implicated in embezzling Shs28.1 million meant for data collection. Sources on the ground say data collection officers accused Ms Atim of failing to pay them after they did the work in June.
At the Ministry of Local Government that coordinates the implementation of the PDM, sources close to this newspaper say at least five districts have been implicated in the corruption saga, while others are still being investigated.
“Yes, we got them and our records indicate that more than Shs1.5 billion was diverted in five districts and we are following others apart from Kitgum and Kabale,” a source said on condition of anonymity.
Ngora
In Ngora District, police last Wednesday arrested the chief administrative officer and his technical officers for allegedly embezzling PDM programme funds.
Those arrested include the chief administrative officer, Mr Lawrence Wadada, the chief finance officer, Mr Charles Elungat, the district senior commercial officer, Mr Mackay Otai, and the district planner, Mr Asio Priscilla.
The officers are accused of stealing more than Shs200m meant for the PDM. Last week, the officers did not come to their offices, but upon return, they were all arrested.
The Resident District Commissioner for Ngora, Mr John Stephen Ekoom, who is also the head of security in the district, said the officers are currently being detained at Ngora Central Police Station.
Mr Mike Odongo, the chairperson of Ngora District, said about Shs800 million was sent for the PDM and each Sacco, among the 73 parishes, was to receive Shs17 million.
“But instead, Sacco’s were given Shs3.5m while others got Shs7m,” Mr Odongo added.
Mr Odongo said they would do whatever it takes to shape the behaviour of leaders.
“We want transparency in all sectors of government, we shall not allow corruption to eat into the resources meant for our people,” he said.
Mr Oscar Girigori Ageca, the Kyoga east police spokesperson, said: “Other officials [in Ngora] whose names have been concealed for security reasons are still at large pending arrest.”
Over two weeks ago, police in Kitgum and Kabale districts also arrested about 20 district officials for allegedly misappropriating more than Shs800 million meant for the parish revolving funds.
In the 2021/2022 Financial Year, the government budgeted Shs243 billion for PDM, but released Shs138 billion for implementation. Different districts started organising workshops yet it was not budgeted for.
Kitgum District received Shs745m, but a huge chunk amounting to Shs526m was swiftly misappropriated through dubious workshops. Kabale District officials were also implicated in swindling Shs289 million from the money meant for Saccos.
Anomalies
Inside source says when districts presented accountabilities for the last financial year, officials at the Local Government ministry detected anomalies within the implementation and sanctioned quick internal investigations that pointed to corruption and diversion of funds.
With the information at their fingertips, the officials stormed Kitgum and swiftly arrested the suspects while in the south, the deputy coordinator, Ms Kyomukama, travelled to Kabale and ordered the arrest of the officials.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government, Mr Ben Kumumanya, declined to name the other districts arguing that it would jeopardise investigations.
He said while the money was for revolving funds, district officials diverted the funds for other activities. He said those that misappropriate the funds will be forced to return the money.
“We had to move in to arrest these officials because they put the money to other uses. This money was for the Saccos and revolving fund, but not for workshops and, therefore, they have to be held liable for their actions. They will be forced to return that money. Kabale officials have already started returning the funds, so far, they have sent Shs120 million. As the ministry, we are committed to enforcing the relevant laws, which are adequate to deal with anybody who tampers with our mission of making sure that PDM money is directed to the right people,” Mr Kumumanya warned.
Mr Richard Rwabuhinga, the chairperson for Kabarole District and the president of Uganda Local Government Association, last week condemned corruption and said those responsible must be brought to book.
“As local government, we condemn the misuse of public funds, especially under the PDM because these funds are meant to improve service delivery,” he said.
Mr Rwabuhinga, however, faulted the central government for rushing to send money without giving clear guidelines on how to spend it.
“PDM has been characterised by a number of ambiguities and lack of clarity. You will realise that most of the accounting officers were not issued clear guidelines until recently when we were given the booklets showing the rule. At the time the money was being sent to district accounts, the booklet [for guidelines] was not yet out,” he explained.
He added that the funds were disbursed towards the end of the financial year and there was pressure on the districts to either spend the money or return it to the consolidated account.
“That money came towards the end of the financial year, so it took a strong leadership of a district to decide on how to use the funds for intended purposes. For example in my district, we received Shs420 million and this money had to be sent to the respective parish accounts. We have 52 parishes and we had to divide the money by 52 and each parish got about Shs9.2 million,” he added.
But Mr Kumumanya disputed the assertion and said the guidelines were issued alongside the funds.
“You cannot say the money came and there were no guidelines. If the money comes and there are no guidelines, you have to leave it. The one who sends it should be the one to give the guidelines. However, for this PDM money, the Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury issued a circular to all local government accounting officers and guided on what to do with the money,” he said.
Bad precedent
A number of government programmes have had to contend with the monster of corruption. Etandikwa, Bonabagagawale, Emyooga, Naads, Operation Wealth Creation, Poverty Alleviation Programme, and a number of other projects have all had less impact in the past due to corruption.
While Mr Kumumanya said the PDM will not follow the same paths, Mr Marlon Agaba, the executive director of Anti-Corruption Coalition Uganda, told this newspaper that government has learnt nothing from the previous interventions.
“The trend continues even to date in the implementation of the PDM,” he said.
Mr Agaba said PDM cannot be a clean entity in isolation when the majority of government departments are riddled with corruption.
“You cannot fight corruption in PDM without fighting the broader corruption at the government level. All the other sectors are corrupt and for you to end corruption in a PDM programme, you need to tackle the bigger corruption which is in every government ministry, department and agency,” he said.
“Those of us in the anti-corruption coalition are being threatened by such highly-connected people. By the time an agency fighting corruption moves in, such people are already made aware and they even threaten the agencies, whom they render toothless. So the government has to deal with such people from within its ranks, then fighting corruption will succeed,” he added.
What guidelines say
While a number of district officials and other stakeholders have complained that the funds were released without proper guidelines, the government says the funds were sent with a clear circular issued by the Secretary to the Treasury, Mr Ramadhan Ggoobi.
According to the earlier guidelines issued by the Ministry of Local Government, all processes and transactions shall be computerised/digitalised using a dedicated PRF-ICT platform. This would make it easier to monitor the performance of the fund.
“As such, transfers shall be supported by digital financial technologies that are under formal regulation, in order to provide financial services in a secure, transparent and efficient manner, as well as to effectively monitor recovery. This is expected to increase accountability and reduce risk of loss of funds,” the guidelines state.
The guidelines further stipulate that the parish revolving fund is integrated within the existing structures of the government and states that the chief administrative
officers and the town clerks are the accounting officers for the parish revolving fund at the district and municipality levels respectively, while in the case of KCCA, the executive director is the accounting officer. It says the funds will be appropriated directly to implementing districts, cities, municipalities, and KCCA, earmarked for individual parishes and that the entities in turn sign financing agreements with each parish-based beneficiaries approved for funding. The staff will provide the necessary technical guidance and support to the beneficiaries in the course of implementation.
“The loans shall be appraised by the Parish Development Committee, the Sub-county Planning Committee and disbursement approved by the CAO/town clerks/ED-KCCA. Parish revolving fund will be channeled directly from the Treasury to beneficiary accounts that will be opened in regulated financial institutions to ensure that households in the parish are able to save, borrow and invest,” the guideline add.

Andy Murray feels Great Britain have the strength in depth needed to make a real impact on the Davis Cup – whether or not that sees him back on the court in Glasgow.
Murray, 35, is set to feature in the tournament for the first time since 2019 as he looks to help Britain qualify from Group D, where they will face the United States, the Netherlands and Kazakhstan, to reach the finals in Malaga in November.
Wimbledon semi-finalist Cameron Norrie is ranked eighth in the world, with Dan Evans at 25, although rising star Jack Draper is absent through injury.
Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski are ranked first and third in the doubles, having both reached the final of the US Open with their respective playing partners.
It remains to be seen just how Murray, who helped Britain win the Davis Cup in 2015, will be utilised by team captain Leon Smith over the course of the three matches, which start against the USA on Wednesday afternoon.
But, regardless of how much, or little, game time Murray sees in Glasgow, the former world number one intends to remain very focused on the job at hand.
“It is arguably the best that we have had in terms of the depth and the amount of options that we have got,” Murray said.
“Even some of the players that aren’t here just now would have probably actually played in previous teams – like Jack Draper, who is top 50 in the world and he certainly would have been a big part of previous teams and he is not here.
“For Leon, it is probably (the best) in terms of the options that he has got, that doesn’t necessarily make it easier for him, but I think it is a good place to be and we can share the load between us all.”
Murray added: “Obviously it is a slightly different situation than it would have been five or 10 years ago when I was playing Davis Cup, but the job remains the same.
“You have to be ready whenever you are called upon to go out there and perform as best as you can and try and get wins for your team.
“I am fully aware of the situation that the team is in just now. I don’t expect to play. Everyone that is sitting up here deserves the opportunity to compete.
“If I don’t play at all, I trust the players that go out there will go and do a great job and win matches for us.
“All of us want the same thing. The goal is the same for everyone – just try and be the best team-mate that you can, support everyone and, if you get called upon, go out there and give it your best and try and get some wins.”
Norrie feels the British squad can take momentum from an impressive run of results on the ATP Tour into the Davis Cup.
“All of us are playing close to some of our best tennis and are in-form players, especially Joe coming off winning US Open and Neal losing in the final there,” he said.
“Everyone is kind of playing top, top level at the moment. We have great depth in the squad and it has just been a lot of fun.”
Team captain Smith maintains there can be no room for complacency as Britain look to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
“In terms of how we progress, it is a really tricky group, a really tough group, really really close,” Smith said.
“I know the guys are coming off good summers and practise really, really well, but other nations are strong.”
There will be a minute’s silence at the start of each day’s play at the Emirates Arena as mark of respect to the Queen, who died last Thursday.
The British team will wear black armbands or ribbons during their matches.
Elsewhere, new US Open champion and world number one Carlos Alcaraz will be playing for Spain in Valencia against Canada, South Korea and Serbia, who will be missing Novak Djokovic after he withdrew.

LETTER: Russia’s opponents hurl insults and change the topic
Prof Gerrit OIivier proves that when pro-Western commentators run out of arguments, they attempt to tarnish the image of the opponent
I refer to Gerrit Olivier’s letter (“Putin’s odious apparatchik,” September 7). It was supposed to be a response to the embassy's history quiz, but unfortunately Olivier’s comments seemed to cover something entirely different from the subject matter of that letter (“A history quiz,” September 4).
Instead of elaborating on the topic of historical parallels that we raised, Prof Olivier preferred to pin labels and hurl insults such as “odious apparatchik” and “ignoramus”. The cheap trick of changing the topic and resorting to personal insults is, unfortunately, typical of many of Russia’s opponents in the media.
In this sense, Prof OIivier’s latest letter further proves that when pro-Western commentators are unable to uphold the discussion and run out of arguments (or have none from the start) they attempt to tarnish the image of the opponent. Prof Olivier did not even refrain from insulting the Russian people, calling them ignorant. Apparently he is under the illusion that Russians have no access to global media.
If there is something useful we can pick from his comments it is his message of ignorance. You see, there are things the mainstream media conceal from SA and African readers. Compared to Russians, Europeans and, unfortunately, Africans, have fewer sources of information. In an attempt to brainwash the public the West launched a global media campaign aiming to silence all alternative sources and hush all news that reveals the West’s own malign activities, among other things.
For example, we don’t recall extensive reports on US biolabs in Ukraine (who knows where else these labs are, and what is going on there?) where experiments on dangerous viruses are being carried out. Similarly, there were no articles on Ukrainian authorities selling Western weapons on the black market, thus weaponising organised crime and terrorists, or investigations into why Ukrainian grain ships, with the exception of two out of 87, are going to the EU and not to the countries that face famine.
In our turn, we will keep on spreading the news. Stay tuned.

Different challenge but approach the same says new Chelsea coach Potter
LONDON: Chelsea's new manager Graham Potter said he will approach a "very different challenge" in the same way as he has throughout a coaching career spent largely out of the spotlight.
The 47-year-old Englishman has taken on by far his biggest coaching job, having cut his teeth with Swedish club Ostersunds for seven years before a short spell at Swansea City and then a highly impressive one with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Potter's methods at Brighton have enhanced his reputation but the expectation levels at Chelsea will be a new experience for a man tipped as a future England manager.
"You have to look at the football club here, the tradition, the quality, to compete in the Premier League and Champions League, it's a completely different challenge to the one I had", Potter, who will take charge for the first time as Chelsea host Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday (Sep 14), told reporters.
"I am very, very excited as you can imagine and looking forward to getting going."
Asked whether working with a squad full of household names would alter his approach, Potter said he would rely on the communication skills for which he is widely praised.
"It sounds strange, but I approach it as I've approached every job and every football club with the greatest respect for every environment, every context", Potter said.
"I know that this is a different environment, but we're still working with people. Then it's about understanding them, treating them with respect, getting to know them.
"There's all sorts of narratives out there, that top players are this and top players are that, but in my experience people are quite complicated.
"People have egos people, have different things that challenge and that's the fascinating thing about this job."
WHIRLWIND PERIOD
Potter admitted it had been a whirlwind nine days since he oversaw Brighton's 5-2 win over Leicester City that few could ever have imagined would be his last game with the club.
Two days after that Chelsea suffered a dire 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League opener and two days later he was named as Thomas Tuchel's replacement.
"It feels like nine weeks or nine months but it's been brilliant. It's the beauty of football, the beauty of life. You never know what's around the corner", Potter said.
"Things happened incredibly quickly. I had some really intense conversations with the owners and quickly I realised that, firstly, they were good people, intelligent people, who have made a huge success of their life outside of football and wanting to achieve something really exciting here."
Potter said he had moved out of his "comfort zone" but played down any suggestion it was a risk to join Chelsea.
"If you walk over the road it's a risk", Potter said. "I left England when I was 30 years old and I went to a club that sacked the manager every year for the last five years."
After last weekend's fixtures were postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth on the same day that Potter was appointed, he has had a little more time on the training ground with his squad than he might have imagined.
Now he is eager to get started against Salzburg - a fixture that Chelsea can ill afford to drop points in.
"This is an amazing evening for us, for all of us it's very exciting", he said.

Remembering Queen Elizabeth: San Francisco visits a combination of pomp and protest
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- While many members of the British Royal Family have come to the San Francisco Bay Area over the years, it was the visits of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles in the 1970s and 1980s that drew the most attention.
The 1983 and 1977 visits were filled with pomp and ceremony but San Francisco's large Irish-American population also made sure the royals knew how displeased they were with the conflict in Northern Ireland.
On March 3, 1983, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived a day ahead of schedule, and it threw their security into a frenzy.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were supposed to arrive in the Bay Area, sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge on the royal yacht Brittania. But a big storm and rough seas (and a tornado that touched down near LA) scrapped those plans.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were treated to a welcome to San Francisco at Davies Symphony Hall. Mary Martin, Tony Bennett and the cast from Beach Blanket Babylon sang for them.
Pro-Irish demonstrators amassed outside of Davies Symphony Hall to protest the Queen's visit. Inside, the events were disrupted by an Irish Northern AID protestor who shouted "Stop the Torture" - and was hustled out.
The Queen visits Hewlett-Packard headquarters and then has lunch at Hoover House on the Stanford campus with President Donald Kennedy and his wife along with a number of students.
Queen Elizabeth brought out her huge jewels and giant tiara, and toasted then President Ronald Reagan at a star-studded event at the DeYoung. On the guest list was Bay Area royalty: Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio, Joe Montana, and Steve Jobs.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip visit Yosemite. On the way, a sheriff's patrol car collided head-on with a carload of Secret Service agents, killing three agents. The accident did not involve the royal motorcade.
In 2005, Prince Charles returned to the Bay Area. This time, he was newly-married to Camilla Parker Bowles.
Included in their busy schedule: the couple visited a farmer's market in Point Reyes Station, Alice Water's Edible Schoolyard, climbed onboard a U.S. Coast Guard ship, got a key to the city, and then visited the Empress Hotel in the Tenderloin, where the couple learned about a homelessness project.
The Prince sported at tie emblazoned with Cal's Golden Bears. It was a gift he had received during his 1st visit all those years ago.
Then San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, and his then-wife Kimberly Guilfoyle hosted them at Beach Blanket Babylon in North Beach.
The next evening , in the pouring rain, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall attended a black-tie event at the newly renovated DeYoung Museum – one of the San Francisco's crown jewels.
The Prince gave a toast. He mentioned his previous visit and how when he was here last, he was the age that his two sons are now. He raised a glass, and thanked his hosts
On November 4, 1965, Princess Margaret, her husband Lord Snowdon, and her spectacular collection of gowns, jewels, and hats all paid a visit to the San Francisco Bay Area. The U.S. tour was 5 months in the making. The 35-year-old princess's plane landed at SFO at 6:05 p.m. after a 90-minute stopover in New York.
The fun-loving pair was referred to as the "madcap" leaders of Britain's young and middle-aged married set. They stayed at the top floor of the Huntington Hotel, making it their headquarters for their 3 ½ day trip in the Bay Area.
The controversial, fun-loving sister of Queen Elizabeth had a packed schedule: including public engagements such as a fashion show at the Hilton Hotel, to taking a hover craft to Oakland to visit UC Berkeley.
12 years later, on October 27, 1977, Prince Charles paid a visit to the Bay Area. He was 28, a bachelor, and ardently pursued by Bay Area Irish activists. Various pro-Irish clubs carried coffins and signs demanding that British troops get out of Northern Ireland.
Prince Charles arrived in the Bay Area, went to the Fairmont, then headed over to the San Francisco Press Club where he offered a few observations.
KPIX reporter Pat O'Brien reported on the Prince's visit to UC Berkeley. Charles was once again greeted by Irish activists but then the Cal Band and students also mobbed the scene.
KPIX reporter Tim Findley covered a big San Francisco protest against Prince Charles. Delancey Street rented a double-decker bus as Irish activist clubs gathered for a noisy protest outside the British Consul General's home on Pacific Ave.
KPIX reporter Pat O'Brien talked with an Irish-American activist group which showed him the casket they planned to parade at all the events in honor of Prince Charles' visit to the Bay Area.
Last stop on his West Coast tour: Prince Charles stopped by UC Davis on Oct. 29, 1977 and lunched with then-governor Jerry Brown who reportedly served him cold cuts.

Diaper banker inspired by father's efforts to fight disease
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) is getting information about COVID vaccines into hard-to-reach neighborhoods as a community partner with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' We Can Do This campaign. The effort comes as NDBN members have already increased by 86% the volume of diapers, period supplies, and other material basic necessities they provide, in response to the pandemic.
For Northern Virginia Diaper Bank Program Director Susan Mullen, freeing communities from disease runs in the family. Mullen was born in Bolivia, where her father, C. Burton Keppler, in the 1950s went by car, by donkey, and by foot into the Andes to get smallpox vaccines to remote villages.
Today Mullen is helping to organize a free vaccination clinic and leading an effort to get accurate information about COVID-19 vaccinations for young children into the community she serves.
NDBN got involved with We Can Do This in part because COVID vaccines are now recommended for children starting at six months of age, and getting information to families with young children is critical.
"Susan's family story points out that good health happens on the ground, where people live," said NDBN Board Chair Amy Daly Donovan. "That's why the We Can Do This campaign partnered with organizations that are already providing vital services, like NDBN. Whether it's putting vaccination information on packages of diapers or hosting events where people can get vaccines and testing kits, basic needs banks are doing work that simply could not be done by people who lack roots in the community."
"NDBN provides diapers and period supplies because these things are essential for good health and to participate fully in life," said NDBN CEO Joanne Samuel Goldblum. "It's outrageous that one in three families cannot afford the diapers their children need. It's also outrageous that things like internet access, insurance, or immigration status could keep a family from getting the health information they need. When we heard about the We Can Do This campaign, we knew we had to join."
In addition to NDBN and its Alliance for Period Supplies, the We Can Do This campaign relied upon community groups like AARP, the American Red Cross, Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, and the National Parent–Teacher Association to spread accurate information about COVID vaccines. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other prominent health care groups have supplied experts to speak at events around the country.
"More than 100 member basic needs banks have signed on to deliver COVID-19 vaccination information in their communities," said Goldblum. "NDBN's mission is to ensure that no one is deprived life's essentials–and accurate health information is certainly essential."
Susan Mullen was 18 months old when her parents, Burt and Dorothy Keppler, who were nurses, arrived in Bolivia on a medical mission with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Burt would later go on to get a medical degree. During his three and a half years in Bolivia, he gave physicals to school children, pulled teeth, and treated various ailments. He also gave immunizations, including the smallpox vaccine, as part of the worldwide effort to eradicate the disease.
"You do what you can, when you can, where you can," Mullen said her dad, who passed away in 2008, would often say. The effort to wipe out smallpox was huge, but the service of people like the Kepplers around the globe was vital to it. Whether he was navigating rivers on a raft laden with vaccines or driving narrow cliffside roads, Keppler was doing what he could.
Mullen said that her own life was shaped by her parents' example of service. The family left Bolivia when she was just six, after her father fell ill with hepatitis A. But their travels continued, with her parents serving communities in Mexico, Ukraine, and many other destinations. Mullen has often thought of her father during the We Can Do This campaign. "My dad would just be rolling up his sleeves and want to come up here and help."
The National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) provides material basic necessities required to build the strong foundations all children, families, and individuals require to thrive and reach their full potential. We work in partnership with our Network of diaper banks, allied programs, donors, sponsors, and elected officials to end diaper need and period poverty in the United States.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' COVID-19 public education campaign, We Can Do This, is a national initiative to increase public confidence in and uptake of COVID vaccines while reinforcing basic prevention measures such as mask wearing and social distancing.

Hinckley and Bosworth residents praised for welcoming Ukrainian families
The Leicestershire community continues to offer guidance and support to their guests
A WARM WELCOME: The guest families have been welcomed with open arms
Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, generous and kind-hearted Hinckley and Bosworth households have welcomed 141 Ukrainian families into their homes.
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council has been acting as a single point of contact for new arrivals, to ensure that both guests and their sponsors are able to stay up to date with the latest guidance, helping to make the transition easier all around.
The council has also been supporting guests by offering easy access to practical advice, while the local community has set up support groups to offer friendship and emotional support when needed.
Speaking about the assistance they received, one guest said: "The British Government gave us visas, but local people and our host helped us to feel safe and protected.
"My family came to Hinckley almost four months ago and we were welcomed here as a part of a big family.
"A lot of people do volunteer work to support Ukrainian families and this is extremely important and helps us to settle. We are happy to be here, and we are fortunate to come to Hinckley."
Organised social gatherings have helped to bring together Ukrainian guests and host families from across the borough as well as providing an opportunity for everyone to come together to celebrate Ukraine Independence Day.
A member of one of the host families said: "Thank you for putting me in touch with the lovely support group which meets at our local church. It was very supportive and the food pack they gave us full of Ukrainian treats went down very well.
"All the people involved in volunteering or working to support our Ukrainian guests have really helped us sponsors and our guests to find what we need."
Councillor Stuart Bray, Borough Council leader, said: "I have been absolutely amazed by the local response to help people from Ukraine who have arrived in our borough.
"In very short timescales, we have seen packages of support organised and delivered by partners across the borough ranging from toys for children, welfare support to language assistance.
"This is so typical of the ‘can-do’ attitude from residents and partners across the borough. We cannot imagine the horrors that these Ukrainian families have witnessed, but the support and care that is being shown is inspiring."
For further information about sponsoring or for support for Ukrainian families, visit the council website, here.

What happened: A Bitcoin BTC/USD whale just sent $42,257,475 worth of Bitcoin off Coinbase.
The BTC address associated with this transaction has been identified as: 3KEoQy4Pz9Cq8YRLcsZCizZA1RafKQSquv.
Why it matters: Bitcoin "Whales" (investors who own $10 million or more in BTC) typically send cryptocurrency from exchanges when planning to hold their investments for an extended period of time. Storing large amounts of money on an exchange presents an additional risk of theft, as exchange wallets are the most sought-after target for cryptocurrency hackers.
The best way to secure Bitcoin is through holding it on a hardware wallet, which can't be done through holding digital assets on an exchange. Hardware wallets store one's private keys in an offline device, making it impossible for funds to be hacked via the internet.
According to Glassnode, only 12.4% of the total supply remains liquid across all centralized exchanges.
The removal of BTC from an exchange reduces potential sell side pressure, allowing the price of Bitcoin to increase more easily.

The Denver Broncos lost to the Seattle Seahawks 17-16 in heartbreaking fashion in Week 1, but if it’s any consolation to fans in Denver, former quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning provided some hilarious entertainment during their ManningCast broadcast of the Monday Night Football showdown.
Check out the highlights from Peyton and Eli’s broadcast in the above video, courtesy of the NFL’s official YouTube page.
The brothers will call nine more MNF games later this season.
