O Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba criticized, this Tuesday, Germany for not having sent Leopard tanks and Marder infantry fighting vehicles to the country invaded by Russia.
“Disappointing signs from Germany while Ukraine needs Leopards and Marders right now – to free people and save them from genocide”began by stating the minister in a publication on the social network Twitter.
“Not a single rational argument as to why these weapons cannot be provided, just abstract fears and excuses. What is Berlin afraid of and Kyiv not?”he added.
Disappointing signals from Germany while Ukraine needs Leopards and Marders now — to liberate people and save them from genocide. Not a single rational argument on why these weapons cannot be supplied, only abstract fears and excuses. What is Berlin afraid of that Kyiv is not?
— Dmytro Kuleba (@DmytroKuleba) September 13, 2022
Germany’s support for Ukraine has been criticized since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February. Although Berlin has already sent military equipment, ammunition and tanks to Kyiv, the decision only came after pressure from the international community.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia began with the aim, according to Vladimir Putin, of “denazifying” and demilitarizing Ukraine for the security of Russia. The operation was condemned by the international community in general.
The UN confirmed that 5,827 civilians died and about 8,000 were wounded in the war, stressing that the real numbers will be much higher and can only be known when there is access to fenced areas or under intense fighting.

The 'devotion to duty' embodied by the Queen may be dying out says Theresa May as ex-PM warns that many people in the public eye now feel 'it's more about them' - as she hails the calming effect of meeting the monarch
The sense of duty embodied by the late Queen may be slipping away in public life, Theresa May warned today.
The former prime minister said the Queen was 'the most remarkable person' and an 'example of devotion to duty'.
She told ITV's Lorraine: 'I think maybe there is a slight loss of that sense of duty.
'It becomes, for a lot of people, more about them rather than about other people and how they should be… working for other people.'
She also spoke of the calming effect of private weekly chats with the Queen.
'I suppose before I became PM I always heard about these audiences, but you sometimes wonder maybe there is somebody sitting in the corner but literally you're right, it's just you and the monarch, it's incredible,' she said.
'It's a very calm moment when you're able to have a conversation with somebody who has immense experience and immense wisdom.'
The former prime minister said the Queen was 'the most remarkable person' and an 'example of devotion to duty'.
She told ITV's Lorraine: 'I think maybe there is a slight loss of that sense of duty. 'It becomes, for a lot of people, more about them rather than about other people and how they should be… working for other people.'
She added: 'The late Queen Elizabeth was an example of devotion to duty par excellence.'
She added: 'The late Queen Elizabeth was an example of devotion to duty par excellence.
'She was the most remarkable person I've ever met.
'The combination of qualities she had, I haven't come across in anybody else.
'I doubt we will see her like again.'
Mrs May spoke fondly about visiting the Queen at Balmoral, where the monarch sought to put guests at ease – including by playing cards by herself while others mingled.
The former prime minister said the Queen did not make herself the centre of attention at the gatherings.
She said the Queen wanted to be 'a good hostess' who 'wanted her guests to really feel at home, to enjoy the surroundings as much as she did and be able to relax'.
Mrs May said: 'There would be occasions when, perhaps, everybody – guests – were milling around, perhaps chatting to each other, and the Queen was quite happy to sit in the room playing patience.
'She didn't feel the need for everybody to be paying attention to her all the time.'

(WXIN) – Doctors across the U.S. have seen an increase among children of a respiratory virus that can cause polio-like muscle weakness.
In most cases, enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) causes a respiratory illness with mild symptoms. It can, however, result in a condition called acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) that can cause inflammation of the spinal cord. Those suffering from AFM can have trouble moving their arms while others experience muscle weakness. In severe cases, it can lead to respiratory failure or life-threatening neurologic complications.
According to an alert issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week, pediatric hospitalizations are on the rise among patients with severe respiratory illness who tested positive for rhinovirus (RV) and/or enterovirus (EV). Some of the patients have also tested positive for EV-D68 — and hospital sites are reporting a higher proportion of EV-D68 patients compared to previous years.
This isn’t the first time EV-D68 has caused problems. In 2014, an outbreak of enterovirus D68 was reported in multiple states. The outbreak involved nearly 1,400 people, although an undercount is very likely because many who experienced mild symptoms didn’t get tested.
Increased activity was also reported in 2016 and 2018, with lower circulation in 2020 likely due to COVID-19 mitigation measures.
Between July 2022 and August 2022, the number of detected EV-D68 cases was greater than the period from the three previous years (2019, 2020 and 2021). While the CDC hasn’t seen increased reports of AFM, an increase in AFM cases generally follows an increase in EV-D68 cases, the agency said.
The CDC alert asks providers to consider EV-D68 as a possible cause of respiratory illnesses among children and warns of a potential increase in cases in the weeks to come. Common symptoms for EV-D68 include cough, shortness of breath and wheezing. Fever is present in about half of known cases.
“On rare occasions, EV-D68 may cause AFM,” the CDC noted in its alert. “This rare but serious neurologic condition primarily affects children and typically presents with sudden limb weakness.”
According to the CDC, signs of AFM include:
- arm or leg weakness
- pain in the neck, back, arms, or legs
- difficulty swallowing or slurred speech
- difficulty moving the eyes or drooping eyelids
- facial droop or weakness
The agency noted that there are no available vaccines or specific treatments.
Infants, children and teenagers are most likely to get infected. Those who suffer from asthma may be at greater risk for severe cases of EV-D68.
The CDC urges the public to follow typical prevention measures:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
- Avoid close contact such as kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick, and when you are sick
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your upper shirt sleeve, not your hands
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick

SER Capital Partners Closes Debut Fund, Raises $475 Million
In partnership with leading endowments, pensions, insurance companies and institutional investors
Nearly $220 million already committed to businesses leading decarbonization
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ESG–SER Capital Partners (SER), a private investment firm dedicated to sustainability, today announced the final closing of its SER Capital Partners I, LP and affiliated vehicles. SER raised a total of $475 million in support of its strategy to meaningfully capitalize middle-market businesses and infrastructure assets. SER’s inaugural fundraise exceeded its stated target with the support of aligned and well-capitalized limited partners that include a diverse group of leading endowments, state pensions, insurers, health systems and family offices.
SER invests and enhances value in businesses positioned to meet the growing demand for economic and sustainable assets, products, and services across North America. SER is led by four partners – Rahul Advani, Sara Graziano, Christopher Smith and Rhem Wooten – who bring meaningful overlapping experiences to SER. Each has successfully pioneered sustainability-focused investments and held key executive operating roles at public and private businesses over the last two decades.
“We collectively built SER to meet the critical market need for an experienced and aligned private investment firm dedicated to sustainable, environmental and renewable sectors,” said Rahul Advani, SER’s founder and Managing Partner. “We are committed to economically meeting the burgeoning customer demand for decarbonized, distributed, digitized, and electrified solutions.”
SER has already directly originated investments in four portfolio companies. These businesses collectively implement and manage battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, energy efficiency and solar assets.
- Microgrid Networks, one of SER’s portfolio companies, helps meet New York City’s critical infrastructure needs by developing and installing battery storage assets coupled with related infrastructure, such as high-speed electric vehicle charging capabilities.
- Perfect Power, a fast-growing energy storage and renewable development business formed by SER, is active in high-demand markets across the United States.
- Brightcore Energy, a leading provider of end-to-end clean energy solutions to the commercial and institutional market, is using SER’s investment to better enable it to help buildings transition legacy energy platforms to significantly more efficient ones.
- SER also developed and built a portfolio of Texas battery storage assets that it exited in an M&A transaction earlier this year.
“Looking ahead, we see a myriad of compelling investment opportunities that move us beyond legacy industrial processes heavily reliant on fossil fuels and subject to extreme commodity volatility – including those benefitting from the supportive patchwork of local, state, regional and recently expanded federal policies. Importantly, we are enthusiastic about our ability to invest in teams, businesses and assets that are poised to deliver attractive returns and protect our energy security and climate future,” Advani continued.
Metric Point Capital, a boutique private capital advisory firm, served as the placement agent. DLA Piper represented SER in connection with the fund formation.

TORONTO (AP) — Since he was a high school student, Hugh Jackman wanted to play the roguish traveling salesman Professor Harold Hill in “The Music Man” on Broadway. He’s fulfilled that dream — but all things must come to an end.
On the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival, Jackman told The Associated Press that the revival will play its last performance at the beginning of the new year,
“Jan. 1 is going to be the last show. So we’ve got another three and a half months. So if you haven’t seen it, please come and see,” Jackman said after conferring with his publicist.
Jackman said he had a blast doing the show, which has double Tony Award winner Sutton Foster playing his love interest. “I love it. I love the cast. I love everything about the show. The audiences have been incredible and I’m going to be sad,” he said.
The musical tells the simple story about Harold Hill, a traveling con man who in 1912 convinces a small Iowa town into forming a band and selling them instruments until love changes him. It’s got classic songs like ″Seventy-Six Trombones,” ″Goodnight My Someone,” ″Gary, Indiana” and “Till There Was You.”
The musical revival was delayed several times due to the pandemic, finally opening in February. It has been a box office juggernaut, regularly exceeding $3 million a week, even if it got little love at the Tony Awards.
Jackman was at Toronto for the world premiere of “The Son,” which is the second part of the Florian Zeller trilogy of plays adapted for film. Anthony Hopkins, along with Zeller and Christopher Hampton took home Oscars for “The Father.”

3 reasons Eagles’ Jalen Hurts is everything everyone hoped Tim Tebow would be
There has been far too much made about what Jalen Hurts isn’t rather than what he is. The former second-round pick has plenty of expectations following the Eagles’ offseason additions to provide him with the proper weapons. He succeeded in this in Week 1 by connecting with his new top target AJ Brown on 10 receptions for 155 yards. While Hurts has seen comparisons to a number of players, he may just be the better version of a fan favorite in years past. Here are three reasons why Jalen Hurts may be what everyone always hoped Tim Tebow would become.
3. Overcoming Arm Strength with Use of Legs
The criticism of both Tim Tebow and Jalen Hurts has been their arm strength. While the high character and ability with their legs go a long way, at the end of the day if you cannot make NFL-quality throws then you cannot secure a place as a quarterback. Both players are capable of the occasional impressive throw, but arm strength will never be labeled their true calling card.
However, each guy seems to possess the unique ability to overcome what would be a shortcoming to most QBs. Tim Tebow was always selective in finding his receivers and threw for 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions as an NFL quarterback. He also led the NFL in game-winning drives in 2011. This ability to step up when it matters is what attracted so many to Tebow on the football field.
While it is still to be seen if Jalen Hurts has this same level of poise in crunch time he clearly does not get wavered by the big moments. Many have been overly critical of his ability to use his legs. In Week 1 against the Lions, the team blitzed early and often. Hurts used his legs as an asset to escape the defensive pursuit and make a play. This forced the defense to sit back and allowed Hurts to utilize his arm from there. This dual-threat nature is what makes him so impressive and is the type of balance Tim Tebow never fully found.
2. Team-First Mentality
When discussing NFL players who have the highest character, both Tim Tebow and Jalen Hurts deserve a place in the conversation. Each guy has handled a number of tense and difficult situations with grace and in a way that shows the kindness they truly have. Both Tebow and Hurts have leaned heavily on their faith to get them through tough times and have been open about this experience.
Where things differ slightly is the magnitude of stardom that their personas took on. While it is not entirely his fault, Tim Tebow became a national celebrity in a way that overshadowed his on-field play. This likely played a major role in his rapid exit from the NFL as teams did not want the media circus that came along with him. In contrast, Jalen Hurts has done everything possible to push himself away from the spotlight. He continually rejects individual praise and points it toward his teammates and coaches.
Hurts came into a tough spot when he was drafted as Carson Wentz was the starting quarterback and had recently signed a new contract with the Eagles. The young QB answered all questions correctly and was content with his backup role until the time came. This team-first mentality is much more difficult than people acknowledge and the genuine ability to put the team first has propelled Jalen Hurts toward success.
1. The It-Factor
There is something about a quarterback’s will to win that is tough to quantify. While talent is extremely important and the measurables should not be taken for granted, both Jalen Hurts and Tim Tebow possess an it-factor that goes beyond the stat sheet. This attitude is infectious to teammates and is a major reason why both quarterbacks always have/had the locker room behind them.
If Jalen Hurts can continue to progress in his development while maintaining this type of it-factor, he has a chance to become a special quarterback. In his first year as the full-time starter in 2021, Hurts threw for more yards and touchdowns than Tim Tebow did in his entire NFL career. He also is in an era in which his playstyle is a better fit for the NFL. Hurts still needs to take some strides forward as a passer but the flashes he shows make it worth waiting for.
There are a number of similarities when comparing the two Heisman trophy winners. While Tim Tebow saw the ending to his NFL career occur after just three years, Jalen Hurts seems to just be finding his stride. In his third year in the NFL and second as a full-time starter, Hurts put forth a composed and polished performance to begin the season. Look for the Oklahoma product to continue to build off this and prove he belongs as a long-term NFL starting quarterback.

BISMARCK, N.D., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the air begins to cool and acres of colorful leaves start to blanket the valleys of the badlands, rivers and lakes, autumn is a magical time to visit North Dakota. In addition to the picturesque palette of colors created by the state's unique fall foliage, North Dakota Tourism invites visitors to explore its scenic landscapes and partake in breathtaking outdoor adventures and enchanting fall festivals.
North Dakota's wildlife refuges and wooded areas turn into a sea of red, yellow and orange making the state a perfect, under the radar destination to leaf peep. North Dakota Tourism publishes a Fall Foliage Guide with incredible locations to see the leaves change beginning in mid-September through mid-October.
While North Dakota is home to some astonishing forests, the intensity of the fall colors tends to shine through in the northern part of the state. Set on the North Dakota/Canadian border, the Pembina Gorge encompasses one of the largest uninterrupted woodlands in the state. With over 2,800 acres and more than 30 miles of trails, the Pembina Gorge is an ideal place to admire the changing of the leaves.
About 130 miles east of the Pembina Gorge, Lake Metigoshe State Park boasts some of the state's most vibrant autumn hues. Nestled in the Turtle Mountains this area is filled with rolling hills and aspen trees for almost 1,500 acres.
With thousands of miles of trails to explore the breathtaking scenery, fall is a prime time to grab some hiking boots or a bike and get outside and explore. North Dakota Tourism has a compiled list of 13 Fantastic Trails that range in levels of difficulty.
Hikers can stroll the paved Cannonball Trail in Mott or choose something a little more challenging like the Pipestem Creek Trail in Jamestown. Bikers can also slowly pedal along several recreational routes or turn it up a notch and climb some of the steep grades in the Badlands on the Maah Daah Hey Trail. With 144 miles of rugged single-track trail that follows alongside all three units of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, this nationally recognized trail is worthy of its own stop for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is also home to the annual Dakota Nights Astronomy Festival that takes place every September.

Space Force officials hope to maximize recruiting of new guardians by granting more waivers for enlistment standards to individuals with high-demand skills, the nominee to lead the service said Tuesday.
The move comes as the military branches are struggling with recruiting and retention amid a wealth of private-sector job openings. Army officials have said they expect to miss their recruiting goals for fiscal 2022. Air Force officials said they expect to just barely meet their active-duty targets.
In contrast, officials from Space Force, which has only about 8,400 personnel, have not had the same level of recruiting challenges. Lt. Gen. Bradley Saltzman, who was nominated in August by the White House to serve as the second chief of the young service, told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that “we have more volunteers that we have spots to fill.”
But he also noted the skill sets requirements of would-be guardians is higher than that of the other services.
“We may be a small force, but we require highly skilled technical experts to be brought in to do these important critical missions,” Saltzman told the senators.
“We also have an advantage by being small that we can consider on a case-by-case basis the right kinds of people with the right skill sets and the right diversity of thought to optimize our capabilities. We don’t have to put blanket restrictions on types of people or types of qualifications that bring you into the Space Force.”
Saltzman said if confirmed, he plans to “broaden this out to as many people as possible” to ensure the force has high-quality recruits able to step into Space Force missions right away.
Military officials for years have discussed ways to bring in recruits with computer expertise or other specialized skills without dramatically lowering fitness and conduct standards for the entire fighting force.
Currently, more than two-thirds of the Space Force’s personnel is made up of servicemembers who have transferred from other branches of the military.
As the force shifts to more outside recruits, Saltzman said he hopes to boost the force’s technical capabilities significantly, and provide a blueprint for how expanded military recruiting can be done successfully.
“We have a tremendous opportunity, because of the numbers that we need to bring in, to be more individualistic,” he said.
Saltzman, who has served as deputy chief of space operations for the last two years, is expected to be confirmed to the post in coming weeks. He will replace Gen. John Raymond, who has led the Space Force since its establishment in December 2019 and is expected to retire later this year.

Eight named plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against Gov. Tony Evers and Wisconsin’s Public Defender Board Aug. 23 over a lack of legal representation for low-income defendants in criminal cases. The plaintiffs have been waiting in custody for extended periods of time because they cannot afford private attorneys but have yet to be assigned a public defender.
Four litigation groups, including the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, filed the suit, asking the state to immediately appoint legal counsel to those in need or dismiss the criminal charges against them.
The lawsuit cites the statewide backlog of 35,000 criminal cases as a reason for prompt action. With such a large number of pending cases, defendants who should be presumed innocent under Fifth Amendment due process protections could spend months or longer in custody.
Delays in criminal trials are often the result of public defender shortages. The issue stems from multiple causes, all of which are complicating factors in the right to receive legal representation.
Adam Plotkin is the legislative liaison at the Wisconsin State Public Defender’s Office. He said the shortage comes down to two main factors — workload and compensation.
Plotkin said pay is very low compared to the amount of work publicly appointed attorneys are expected to complete. Over the past five to 10 years, this imbalance has increased as the practice of law has changed and technologies such as video evidence have emerged.
Private attorneys are able to curate a manageable workload for themselves. But with four out of five criminal defendants unable to afford counsel, manageable workloads are a luxury for the backlogged public defender system.
The issue of insufficient pay has been partially addressed in the past. In March 2021, Gov. Evers signed a bill that allows for merit-based pay increases for public defenders in the state. Intended to incentivize experienced attorneys to stay in the public sector, the bipartisan measure was a hopeful effort to resolve the shortage.
But the crisis has persisted despite salary increases. Attorneys continue to gravitate toward the private sector for other benefits, such as health insurance and childcare plans.
The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the crisis. Shutdowns delayed court processes, which overloaded many employees to the point of resignation. Because criminal cases in particular require more time and resources, the public defender system cannot keep up with the demands amid nationwide labor shortages.
Evidently, this backlog creates significant challenges in granting due process rights to criminal defendants who can’t afford a private attorney. But like other aspects of the criminal justice system, these conditions do not impact all Wisconsinites equally.
“There are significant racial disparities in the criminal and legal system, and so we see that reflected in our clientele,” Plotkin said. “A disproportionate number of people of color who are charged with crimes qualify for a public defender.”
Compounded instances of inequity in the justice system make the impacts even more pervasive for low-income defendants. Plotkin cited cash bail as another example of how socioeconomic status plays a role in one’s experience as a criminal defendant.
Though, on paper, bail gives criminally charged defendants an opportunity to be released from detention, many people without the financial means to post bail have no choice but to remain in custody. Plotkin said this is a major flaw within the criminal justice system because the presumption of innocence is not applied equally across all socioeconomic backgrounds.
“A big fallacy of cash bail is it somehow protects public safety,” Plotkin said. “But under the cash bail system, if I’m charged with the same crime as you are, but you have [financial] means and I don’t … what makes you less risky than me?”
A similar principle holds true in the public defense sector, as indigent defendants may have to wait months before standing trial. Criminal defendants who have the means to hire private counsel immediately undergo a much more prompt definition of Sixth Amendment speedy trial rights.
Ultimately, while policies may not explicitly enforce discrimination, prejudice against low-income people persists, which fundamentally influences their experiences as they move through the criminal justice system.
The inequity of public defense brings to light a larger flaw of law enforcement — the justice system lacks the capacity to address the issues it creates. In other words, the state is handing out criminal charges faster than it can resolve them, and the due process rights of low-income defendants are suffering as a result.
The class action lawsuit is not intended to figure out how to repair this broken system, according to WACDL attorney Hank Schultz. Instead, the plaintiffs in the suit want to place the responsibility on the government to balance the criminal charges they issue with their ability to resolve them.
In fact, the lawsuit on its own represents a technical solution to a structural problem. WACDL attorney John Birdsall emphasized the responsibility of the government to solve the crisis.
“This lawsuit hopefully is a wake-up call to build a system that actually operates and actually functions fairly for everybody involved,” Birdsall said in an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio.
Should the plaintiffs win the class action lawsuit, the state must consider its course of action. They would need to derive the resources to appoint legal counsel in the long-term future or handle the consequences of dropping criminal charges — potentially leaving the victims of crimes without justice.
Sufficient appointment of counsel would require coordinated initiatives on the parts of the Wisconsin State Public Defenders and other government entities. Many of the current efforts led by the Public Defender’s Office work to bolster support around the attorneys in the midst of the shortage. This comes in the form of paralegal and temporary staff assistance to reduce the workload placed on public defenders.
The Wisconsin State Public Defender’s Office will submit its budget request for the next biennium Sept. 15. Plotkin said this will be a considerable request intended to address recruitment and retention issues, increase pay, hire support staff and otherwise mitigate the crisis.
“[These measures] are all geared toward that singular effort of making sure we have enough resources to appoint counsel to every person who qualifies,” Plotkin said. “If approved, the new budget could bring Wisconsin’s public defense system the support it needs to better serve low-income defendants.”
Clearly, the State Public Defender’s Office is acutely aware of the issue and uses the resources it has to implement meaningful change. But ultimately, being granted the support they need to resolve the public defender crisis requires integrated efforts across many government sectors. Understanding the backlog as an impact of income-based prejudice is critical for addressing the issue at its root.
Of course, more basic resources are required to support an essential — though grossly overworked — group of public servants. Entirely solving the public defender crisis, however, also demands a nationwide reckoning of the socioeconomic disparities inherent in a deeply flawed justice system.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 3-time Daytime EMMY winning journalist, speaker and bestselling author Gaby Natale joined forces with Catalyst -the leading nonprofit supported by the world's most powerful CEOs to build workplaces that work for women- to co-host and keynote the upcoming global MARC Summit.
Real Change with MARC: Reimagining Gender Equity is a 3-day summit that will gather over 100 thought leaders from around the world to discuss the role of men advancing women in the workplace. The event will take place virtually and in-person in Zurich, Switzerland, Singapore, Panama City, Panama and San Ramon, California, USA. Corporate hosts include Google, P&G, Dow and Chevron, among others.
"I am very excited to team up with Catalyst to do my part in advancing gender equity. As co-host and keynote speaker at MARC global event, I am looking forward to instilling in everyone who join us the idea that we can all be PIONEERS. Men have a key role to play in this conversation. It is thoroughly researched and documented that when men are part of the gender equity conversation, initiatives and programs are profoundly more impactful. We can all make an impact to make this a better world and our workplaces a more equitable one," explains Natale.
The role of men in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has grown significantly in recent years. Yet many obstacles remain in reaching true gender equity in the workplace and beyond. That's why Catalyst is hosting a three-day global and regional event on September 14-16 to reimagine equity and shine a spotlight on how men, and people of all genders, can challenge and change the status quo through allyship and action.
Real Change with MARC: Reimagining Gender Equity addresses the workplace implications of traditional views of masculinity and inspires men to work in partnership to create collective culture change in workplaces around the world.

About Gaby Natale and AGANARmedia
Gaby Natale believes in breaking barriers. And she embodies what she preaches.
As the first Latina to win 3 Daytime EMMYs back-to-back (as host and executive producer of her own show), the first Hispanic author to be published by HarperCollins' Leadership division and one of the few foreign-born writers to narrate their audiobook in English, Gaby has had her own share of being "the first like her" in leadership spaces.
A sought-after thought leader and motivational speaker, Gaby has shared her inspirational message in Fortune 50 corporations, the United Nations and in her own TEDx talk encouraging underrepresented minorities to pioneer and be what they cannot (yet) see in the world.
Natale is among a few women in the entertainment industry who owns not only the rights to her content, but also a television studio. This unique situation has allowed her to combine her passion for media and her entrepreneurial spirit.
People magazine named Natale one of 2018's "25 Most Powerful Latinas", highlighting the inspirational story of how she went from a local TV show that started out of a carpet warehouse to becoming the only Latina in US history to win triple back-to-back Daytime EMMYs. Her popularity grew even further when her first book, "The Virtuous Circle" by HarperCollins, became an instant bestseller, topping Amazon's New Releases charts in 3 different categories (Business, Inspiration and Self-Help).
Natale is also the founder of AGANARmedia, a marketing company with a focus on Hispanic audiences that serves Fortune 500 companies such as Hilton Worldwide, Sprint, AT&T, eBay, Intuit and Amazon. In the digital world, she has a thriving fan base with over 52 million views on YouTube and 250K+ followers on Social Media.
In 2019, Natale launched Welcome All Beauty, her own hairpiece and extension line dedicated to women who need to be camera-ready on the go.
A tireless advocate of gender and diversity issues, Natale is a frequent collaborator with nonprofits such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign and Voto Latino.
Natale has been featured in Forbes, CNN, Buzzfeed, NBC News, Univision and Latino Leaders magazine. She is the recipient of NALIP's Digital Trailblazer Award and of a GLAAD Media Award nomination for her portrayal of Latino LGBTQ youth in media.
Natale holds a bachelor's in International Relations and a master's degree in Journalism from the University of San Andres and Columbia University. Prior to starting her career in television, Natale taught Communication and Journalism courses at the University of Texas.

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — The Louisiana House Ways and Means Committee met Tuesday to discuss reforms to the state’s tax system.
Specifically, the meeting discussed the elimination of the personal income tax. The Department of Revenue said there was a study commission in 2012 that looked at antiquated tax expenditures. Louisiana’s tax structure has been viewed by other study groups, however, not many of their recommendations have been adopted.
“It is no secret that our tax structure is broken, and it drives people and companies out of our state,” said Rep. Richard Nelson of Mandeville ahead of the meeting. “We have long been dependent upon our abundant resources to prop up failed policies. If we want Louisiana to compete in a modern economy, we need a fundamental restructuring of our tax system.”
In the meeting, Nelson points out that the state’s sales tax is one of the highest in the nation and asks the department how much corporate income tax isn’t collected due to exemptions and credits.
Officials said the committee anticipates hearing from local government, business and nonprofit stakeholders in multiple meetings.

Thunder Road was arguably the first honest look into the post-war moonshine culture that gave birth to NASCAR. If you want a pretty good idea of how NASCAR started, look no further than Thunder Road, released in 1958 and starring Robert Mitchum.
This gem not only stars Mitchum, but he also wrote, produced, and penned the lyrics for the theme song. The supporting cast features Gene Barry as the obsessed government agent, Jacques Aubuchon as a rival bootlegger, and Keely Smith as one of Mitchum’s love interests. Robert’s real-life son James Mitchum plays his kid brother, Sandra Knight is another love interest of Mitchum, while Peter Breck is a fellow moonshine runner. After its initial success, Thunder Road became a cult fave and continued to play at drive-in movie theaters in some southeastern states through the 1970s and 1980s.
Thunder Road Synopsis
Lucas “Luke” Doolin (Robert Mitchum) is a Korean War veteran who now works as a runner in the family moonshine business. In his souped-up hot rod Ford, he delivers the illegal liquor his father brews to secret distribution points throughout the South. Lucas has to contend with the ever-present problem of evading the revenuers (U.S. Treasury agents), now led by the resolute newcomer Troy Barrett (Gene Barry). Lucas is concerned that his younger brother Robin will give into temptation, follow in his footsteps, and become a moonshine runner himself.
To make matters worse, there’s a well-funded outside gangster, Carl Kogan (played with great malice by Jacques Aubuchon), trying to muscle his way to controlling all of the independent local moonshine makers. Kogan is as ruthless as he is greedy, willing to kill anyone who stands in his way. The heat gets turned up when Kogan tries to kill Lucas but kills a government agent and another moonshine driver, Jed Moultrie, by mistake.
As all this is happening, Doolin’s two love interests are never far behind. One is nightclub singer Francie Wymore (Keely Smith, famous for her hit That Old Black Magic). And Luke is either unaware or does not care that one of the local gals, Roxanna Ledbetter (Sandra Knight), has a super-big crush on him and fears for his life.
The revenuers ratchet up the pressure with a series of raids that destroy most of the hidden stills in the area. Lucas Doolin’s father and the other local moonshiners decide to shut down production for a spell. They hope the government will deal with Kogan and, therefore, restore the natural order of the moonshine business, but circumstances force Lucas, bound by his own personal code of honor, to make a final run.
Cast & Characters
Robert Mitchum is perfect as Lucas Doolin. Sure, Thunder Road is Mitchum’s idea and all, but who else would you put in this role? He’s everything a mid-century moonshine runner should be: tall, taciturn, brave, brusk. Luke Doolin is all action and little talk. What is interesting is how Mitchum also has the native patter down really well. Mitchum is from Connecticut, not The South, but you would never know it.
Gene Barry as Troy Barrett is the perfect foil to Mitchum’s country boy Luke. Barrett is a straight-laced, by-the-numbers government man with zero tolerance or sympathy. Barry usually took more affable roles, but he plays right and uptight rather well here. Meanwhile, we see Jacques Aubuchon as the sweaty, greedy Carl Kogan. Aubuchon always got parts like this, and after seeing him in Thunder Road, you can see why. Fat, flabby, grasping, and without any sense of restraint, Kogan makes a great villain in a story full of the morally compromised.
Keely Smith is great as Francie Wymore, the local nightclub singer, but then again, that was Smith’s main gig. She was married to Louis Prima. She’s got a heck of a set of pipes, and that Luke Doolin boy sure is sweet on her. Almost as sweet as Sandra Knight’s Roxanna Ledbetter is on Luke. Knight’s all blonde, fawning, and as right for her unrequited love interest role as Roxanna as Smith is as Francie. Another instance of the duality at play in Thunder Road.
James Mitchum plays Robin Doolin (Lucas’ younger brother) and is right on the money. The Mitchum boys interact with the ease of real brothers, and of course, they look a lot alike, so that helps. As good as James Mitchum was as the kid brother Robin, he wasn’t the first choice. The first choice was this young up-and-coming singer named Elvis Presley. No kidding!
The role of Robin was originally written for Elvis Presley at Robert Mitchum’s request. Mitchum personally gave the script to Elvis, and, dig this, The King was eager to play the role. But Colonel Tom Parker, his manager, demanded Elvis be paid a ludicrous sum of money. More than the entire budget for the movie, in fact, which sunk the whole deal.
Black & White Classic
Thunder Road was shot in glorious black and white. Color was, of course, available, but this was an artistic decision. Going with black and white also gives Thunder Road an excellent film noir look. If it had been about dirty dealings in SoCal, Thunder Road could have easily been taken as a noir (being set in Tennessee and Kentucky means its more likely considered a southern drama).
The camera choices, editing, and sound design are well done, if not spectacular. There’s some obvious rear-projection work, and it goes over about as well as you would expect (but hey, it was the 1950s). In Thunder Road, the driving is less about creating an explosive dog and pony show for the big screen (plenty of newer car movies do that, and sometimes, it backfires and flops). Instead, the driving in Thunder Road is more true to the facts as we see a bunch of speed-crazed moonshiners running around the backwoods.
There’s also this line that kid brother Robin says to Luke: “Sounds like they’re havin’ a real twistification down at th’store.” I am SO telling that line to some Rock-a-Billy hepcats I know. Twistification. Brilliant.
Should You Watch Thunder Road?
Yes, Thunder Road looks old and seems dated, but it was made during the Eisenhower administration. Like seemingly every movie made back then that dealt with crime, Thunder Road has a heavy morality and judgmental vibe around it. There’s this whole sense of “the wages of sin” and “he’s going to get his comeuppance” that permeates Thunder Road. The only odd thing I noticed watching it again after all these years is how the third act drags on a bit, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
Although if there is one egregious mistake in Thunder Road, it happens during the first chase scene. While trying to lose the G Men, Luke Doolin seems to intentionally barrel roll his shoebox Ford. He slides it off the pavement, into the dirt, it rolls, it lands right side up, and then he drives off. “Wait, did he just barrel roll that Ford as a getaway move?” I literally re-watched it three times, and yup, he does. Sure, neat trick, but come on Mr. Mitchum.
Still, there’s a sweet close-up of that triple Stromberg setup Robert Mitchum is working on in the garage! Big old fat, all rubber fuel lines, and the wiring is all done up in that old-style insulation. Man, that shot of the engine bay, even in black and white, is so on the money a gearhead can almost smell it.
Although quite different than the movies of today, Thunder Road will still be appreciated by car enthusiasts, old-school NASCAR fans, and history buffs. Or if you just like old movies, this one is worth watching again. As of this writing, it’s available for rent or purchase on Amazon Prime. If you are looking for more good car movies, consider one of our other top picks on Amazon Prime.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – The City of San Francisco is facing a lawsuit from a sexual assault victim whose rape kit DNA was used to charge her with a property theft, according to the victim’s attorney.
The suit was filed on behalf of Jane Doe – an alias used to protect the identity of the sexual assault victim – in U.S. District Court in San Francisco. Civil rights attorney Adanté Pointer is representing Doe in the case.
“This is government overreach of the highest order, using the most unique and personal thing we have – our genetic code – without our knowledge to try and connect us to crime,” Pointer said in a statement.
During a search of a San Francisco Police Department crime lab database, the woman’s DNA was tied to a burglary in late 2021. Her DNA had been collected and stored in the system as part of a 2016 domestic violence and sexual assault case, then-District Attorney Chesa Boudin said in February in a shocking revelation that raised privacy concerns.
The revelation prompted a national outcry from advocates, law enforcement, legal experts and lawmakers. Advocates said the practice could affect victims’ willingness to come forward to law enforcement authorities.
Federal law already prohibits the inclusion of victims’ DNA in the national Combined DNA Index System. There is no corresponding law in California to prohibit local law enforcement databases from retaining victims’ profiles and searching them years later for entirely different purposes.
In 2016, Doe gave a DNA sample to members of the San Francisco Police Department for an investigation into her sexual assault. According to the lawsuit, the state’s patient consent form used when collecting samples from sex crime victims doesn’t include language that grants permission for the DNA to be used for unrelated investigations.
SFPD kept Doe’s DNA in the police database for over six years. According to the lawsuit, the crime lab routinely ran crime scene evidence through the database where her DNA was held without asking for her consent. “Her DNA was likely tested in thousands of criminal investigations, though the police had absolutely no reason to believe that she was involved in any of the incidents,” the lawsuit states.
California lawmakers last month approved a bill that would prohibit using the DNA profiles collected by police from sexual assault survivors and other victims for any purpose other than aiding in identifying the perpetrator. Local law enforcement agencies would also be prohibited from retaining and then searching victim DNA to incriminate them in unrelated crimes under the legislation, which is pending before Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Boudin said the report was found among hundreds of pages of evidence against a woman who had been recently charged with a felony property crime. After learning the source of the DNA evidence, Boudin dropped the felony property crime charges against the woman.
The police department’s crime lab stopped the practice shortly after receiving a complaint from the district attorney’s office and formally changed its operating procedure to prevent the misuse of DNA collected from sexual assault victims, Police Chief Bill Scott said.
Scott said at a police commission meeting in March that he had discovered 17 crime victim profiles, 11 of them from rape kits, that were matched as potential suspects using a crime victims database during unrelated investigations. Scott said he believes the only person arrested was the woman who filed the lawsuit Monday.
The woman filed the lawsuit under the alias of Jane Doe to protect her privacy, Pointer said The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they choose to be named.
California allows local law enforcement crime labs to operate their own forensic databases that are separate from federal and state databases. The law also lets municipal labs perform forensic analysis, including DNA profiling, and use those databases — without regulation by the state or others.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

King Charles III honours Queen's role in reconciliation on Northern Ireland visit
Issued on: Modified:
King Charles was urged to keep up his own and his late mother's efforts towards reconciliation between the divided communities of Northern Ireland when he visited the British-run province on Tuesday to lead mourning for Queen Elizabeth.
Thousands of well-wishers greeted Charles with handshakes, smiles and warm words as he walked along lines of people crowding the streets outside Hillsborough Castle, the monarch's official residence in the province.
But the visit was also laden with political significance given Britain's historical record in Ireland and the more recent years of violence in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles.
>> King Charles III's visit to Northern Ireland has 'symbolic significance'
At a ceremony at Hillsborough Castle, the acting speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly, Alex Maskey, paid fulsome tribute to the queen and her contribution to reconciliation.
"Queen Elizabeth was not a distant observer in the transformation and progress of relationships in, and between, these islands," said Maskey, a member of Sinn Fein, which seeks the reunification of Ireland.
"She personally demonstrated how individual acts of positive leadership can help break down barriers and encourage reconciliation," he said.
Maskey, who was himself interned by the authorities as an Irish Republican Army suspect in the 1970s, said Charles had already shown he understood the importance of reconciliation and was committed to it.
"The challenge for all of us is to renew the work that you and Queen Elizabeth have already done," he said.
Charles also shook hands warmly with Sinn Fein vice-president Michelle O'Neill, the party's leader in Northern Ireland.
"Thank you so much for the incredibly kind things you said about my mother," Charles said to O'Neill.
"She played a great role here in terms of reconciliation... It's the end of an era for sure," O'Neill said.
Symbol of the union
In 2011, Elizabeth became the first British monarch to visit the Republic of Ireland since independence from London almost a century earlier, a step Prime Minister Micheál Martin described on Thursday as being crucial in the normalisation of relations.
Although a potent symbol of the union, she made powerful gestures of reconciliation for Britain's bloody past in Ireland during the hugely successful state visit, culminating in a speech in which she expressed regret for centuries of conflict.
A year after her visit to Ireland, the queen, whose cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten was killed by the IRA in 1979, shook the hand of former IRA commander and then Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland Martin McGuinness in Belfast.
It was a milestones in a peace process that largely brought an end to three decades of violence between pro-British, largely Protestant, factions and nationalists, mostly Catholic, seeking to reunited Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Charles, addressing senior politicians at the castle, said he was committed to the welfare of all the people of Northern Ireland. He also paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth.
"My mother saw Northern Ireland pass through momentous and historic changes. Through all those years, she never ceased to pray for the best of times for this place and for its people, whose stories she knew, whose sorrows our family had felt, and for whom she had a great affection and regard," he said.
Let's work together
Earlier on the way to Hillsborough, Charles had stepped out of his car to meet and greet thousands of people lining the streets to welcome him amid chants of "God Save the King".
"Our friends here in Northern Ireland, we all want to live together, we really do. I think people with different religions recognise the wonderful job she (the queen) did. I really hope we all go forward and support our king," said Joey McPolin, 77, from Dramore.
Elizabeth died on Thursday in her holiday home at Balmoral Castle, in the Scottish Highlands, at the age of 96 plunging the nation into mourning for a monarch who had reigned for 70 years and was a principal part of the fabric of British life.
Charles, 73, is travelling to the four parts of his new kingdom before the funeral on Monday.
In Scotland, Queen Elizabeth's flag-draped coffin laid at rest in St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, where thousands of people filed past it to pay their final respects.
Tens of thousands of mourners had turned out to observe the procession of the coffin along the historic Royal Mile on Monday. After a silent vigil attended by Charles, his sister Anne and brothers Andrew and Edward at the cathedral, people queued overnight to file past the queen's coffin.
The Scottish government said more than 26,000 people had passed through by the time it closed the queue.
The queen's coffin will leave Scotland and be flown to London in the early evening and driven to Buckingham Palace. On Wednesday, it will be taken on a gun carriage as part of a grand military procession to Westminster Hall where a period of lying in state will begin until the funeral on Monday.
Members of the public will be allowed to process past the coffin for 24 hours a day until the morning of the funeral.
Support for Charles up
A new poll meanwhile showed Charles has enjoyed a surge in support since he became king. The YouGov survey for the Times newspaper also showed a similar increase in backing for his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort.
Now 63% think he will be a good king, a rise of 24 percentage points since March, while 15% believe he will do a bad job, compared with 31% six months ago, the poll found.
Charles had carved out a role for himself speaking out on issues from climate change to architecture. But critics said he was interfering in political issues that were not matters for the royals, a contrast to his mother who kept her personal opinions hidden throughout her reign.
Since becoming king, he has repeatedly said he would follow his mother's example.

Women’s entrepreneur accelerator program needs funding to stay alive, as Windsor ranks poorly for female-owned businesses
There are a lot of reasons for Amy Borrelli to celebrate.
Not only did she hold a soft opening this weekend for her scented candle business, SoHum, but she recently won thousands of dollars by winning a pitch competition for women entrepreneurs.
It’s the tail end of an annual program which helps women turn their business dreams into reality. That program, however, is funded by the federal government — and the date when that money stops coming is fast approaching.
On Thursday, Borrelli won the VentureWomen pitch competition, beating out eight other women entrepreneurs to take home a $3,000 grant for her business.
VentureWomen is a four-month accelerator program for businesswomen looking to explore their ideas, increase their entrepreneurial skills, expand their network and grow their business.
The program connects businesswomen with workshops, mentors and networking opportunities.
"I think, as women, we can be people pleasers a lot, wanting to be there for everyone all the time — and that translates into our businesses," said Borrelli, adding she rarely turns off her phone and finds herself responding to work messages at midnight.
"So it was good to know that I'm not the only one out there that's like that … It can be a very lonely journey. I’m sure a lot of women who are entrepreneurs feel this way."
According to Statistics Canada, Windsor has historically ranked as the worst city in Ontario where women start up their own businesses and one of the lowest in all of Canada.
Wen Toeh, director of the University of Windsor’s Epicentre which operates the VentureWomen program, women — "not just in Windsor but everywhere" — continue to face a number of barriers that may stop them from becoming entrepreneurs.
"If they hold multiple roles like being a mother, a student, having another job, having to take care of family members, women traditionally always take on those responsibilities," said Toeh, adding the VentureWomen program looks to serve as an "opportunity" for women to start up their own business.
"This program is funded by the Government of Canada under the Women Entrepreneurship strategy. The goal of launching that fund is to double the number of women entrepreneurs in five years."
The VentureWomen program started in January 2020, according to Toeh, who said Thursday’s pitch competition marked the end of its third fiscal year.
But that funding will come to an end in March 2023.
"We are actively seeking for funding to continue the program," said Toeh, adding the program has supported more than 40 women become entrepreneurs.
"The program has been so successful. We already have requests from other women entrepreneurs who want to join the program. So I'm very hopeful that we will have funding to continue the program."
For Borrelli, she would like to see entrepreneurship promoted to more women in Windsor-Essex and adds the lessons she learned in the VentureWomen program are something she will hold on to forever.
"It was comforting to hear the experiences of other women and how they are doing in their journey: those who are families, those who don’t, those who are young," she said.
"It was a really great group of all different experiences to really learn from."
SoHum is located in Windsor’s Walkerville neighbourhood and allows people to pick out a scent and mix it into a candle, hand soap, body wash, room spray or diffuser.

MOSCOW, September 13. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the security of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant during a phone call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Kremlin press office announced Tuesday.
"[The sides] discussed matters of security of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. The Russian President explained in detail the measures being undertaken in coordination with the IAEA to ensure physical protection of the ZNPP, which is constantly being subjected to missile strikes by the Ukrainian side, which creates real risks of a large-scale catastrophe," the press office said.
Russian President told that Ukraine continues to shell the cities of Donbass.
"Attention was mostly paid to the situation around Ukraine in the context of Russia's special military operation. Vladimir Putin, among other things, drew the attention of the Federal Chancellor to the flagrant violations of international humanitarian law by the Ukrainian side, the incessant shelling of Donbass cities, which is killing civilians and deliberately destroying civilian infrastructure," the statement said.
Prisoners of war
Russia, unlike Ukraine, grants access to prisoners of war for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Russian President told Scholz.
"Answering the chancellor’s question, Vladimir Putin noted that the Russian side gives access to prisoners of war for the International Committee of the Red Cross, whereas the Ukrainian side doesn’t," the Kremlin press service said.
According to the Kremlin press service, the conversation basically centered round the situation around Ukraine in the context of Russia’s special military operation.

SAMA 28 Holy Scandal: Here Is Why Pulane Maphari’s Award Was Rescinded & The South Africa Music Awards Team Suspended
SAMA 28 Holy Scandal: Here Is Why Pulane Maphari’s Award Was Rescinded & The South Africa Music Awards Team Suspended
The South African Music Awards (SAMA) have rescinded gospel singer Pulane Maphari’s award, and suspensions for the SAMA project team are pending. An internal investigation will also be launched to look into the circumstances surrounding Maphari’s award.
This comes after a scandal in which Pulane Maphari was awarded the Best Contemporary Faith Album at the 28th annual SAMAs on August 28, 2022.
The award was given to Pulane Maphari for her album Sacrificial Worship (Live).
However, the SAMAs announced just two weeks later that the Award has been revoked.
This follows the discovery that Sacrificial Worship was not a new body of work.
Maphari repackaged and renamed an album she released in 2020, according to investigations. The gospel singer repackaged the album as a new body of work and submitted it for consideration in 2021.
According to entertainment and celebrity commentator Phil Mphela, suspensions are imminent as a result of the scandal.
The Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA) chief executive officer is expected to suspend the SAMA project team.
In an update on social media, Phil Mphela wrote,
Suspensions pending in Pulane Maphari SAMA28 saga
RiSA CEO will be suspending the SAMA project team & institute internal disciplinary action.
According to a statement; investigations are underway to determine whether further action needs to be taken.

Following the announcement of the SAMA scandal, social media users expressed their dissatisfaction with how the awards are always surrounded by controversy.
@BekithembaZ
-They listened to the album
-They checked release dates, streams, radio plays, and EVERYTHING
-They compared it to the other nominees and decided that THIS album is the best thing they have heard THIS YEAR.
– I’m talking about experts, judges.
– They gave the AWARD
SAMA 👀
@kokieslovo
SAMA’s continue to be a joke AGAIN.
Just when I thought i had lost all hope in the SAMA’s, i just lost the small little hope I didn’t even know existed.
@ThaboMatseba
In other words she’s a Scam Artist?
@MusiqWorks
Kanti they dont check this things before accepting the nominations or something?

Poland to freeze electricity prices for households in 2023
PiS has seen a drop in public support as energy costs soared following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, driving Polish inflation to its highest in over two decades, with prices up 16.1% year-on-year in August. "We have taken steps to ensure that electricity for each family, for a household up to 2,000 kilowatt (hours), is at a fixed price and, in fact, the current one," Jaroslaw Kaczynski said during a meeting with voters.
- Country:
- Poland
Poland plans to freeze in 2023 electricity prices at current levels for households consuming less energy, the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) leader said on Tuesday, as the government looks for ways to shield consumers from soaring prices. PiS has seen a drop in public support as energy costs soared following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, driving Polish inflation to its highest in over two decades, with prices up 16.1% year-on-year in August.
"We have taken steps to ensure that electricity for each family, for a household up to 2,000 kilowatt (hours), is at a fixed price and, in fact, the current one," Jaroslaw Kaczynski said during a meeting with voters. "If someone reduces consumption compared to the previous year by at least 10%, he will receive an additional discount," he added.
Kaczynski said the move would result in keeping prices stable for around two thirds of Polish households, while more measures would be presented later this week by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The move adds to a series of steps taken by the government such as tax breaks, fuel subsidies for households, and other measures.
In August, Morawiecki said energy companies would have to absorb some of the support cost through lower hikes in energy tariffs. The PiS leader also said that the government is in talks with state-controlled banks aimed at increasing interest rates offered to clients both on old and new deposits to 7-8%.

New York declares polio a state disaster as wastewater surveillance spots virus in Nassau County
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul quietly declared a state disaster on Friday morning over the polio virus.
The executive order came as the state Department of Health released new information on wastewater surveillance of the virus, suggesting that it’s now circulating in Nassau County.
Both updates arrived with little fanfare and no public press conferences to alert the public, even though polio is known to cause paralysis in children and the New York City school system — the nation’s largest — started classes on Thursday.
"On polio, we simply cannot roll the dice," state Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said in an emailed statement to the press about an hour after the state disaster was declared. “If you or your child are unvaccinated or not up to date with vaccinations, the risk of paralytic disease is real. I urge New Yorkers to not accept any risk at all.”
The governor posted the executive order to her office’s website on Friday morning — with no other indication that a disaster had been declared. The state health department didn’t issue guidance on social media until 1:30 p.m.
The governor tweeted about the topic of polio at 1:50 p.m. but made no mention of New York declaring a state disaster over the virus. Instead, she said the state was “making it easier for New Yorkers to get their polio vaccine if they haven't already received it.”
A spokesperson for the governor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the health department stated that the executive order expands “the network of polio vaccine administrators with the addition of EMS workers, midwives, and pharmacists and authorizes physicians and certified nurse practitioners to issue non-patient specific standing orders for polio vaccines."
Polio is an enteric virus, meaning it lives in the gut and typically spreads when infected fecal matter enters another person’s mouth.
So far only a single paralytic case of polio has been reported this year in New York — the first incident nationwide in nearly a decade. Health officials reported the infection in Rockland County in July — but wastewater analysis suggests the virus has spread well beyond this single case. Scientists can scan sewage samples for the virus. Similarities and differences in the genetic codes of those specimens can paint a map of where the germ is spreading, though researchers say it cannot identify exactly how many people might be silent carriers or afflicted.
New wastewater data from the state health department — also posted on Friday — shows that of the 57 positive samples collected statewide, 50 are genetically linked to the original case from Rockland County.
This finding doesn’t mean the Rockland case caused the state’s outbreak, as polio doesn’t cause symptoms in 70% of people.
But the health department revealed that one of these samples — collected in Nassau County in August — is also genetically linked to the initial case in Rockland County. Similar specimens have also been found in Orange and Sullivan counties. State health officials say a polio detection in New York City wastewater has not been genetically linked to Rockland at this time.
Bassett is urging anyone who hasn’t been immunized or is unsure of their vaccination status to seek out shots as soon as possible.
“I urge New Yorkers to not accept any risk at all. Polio immunization is safe and effective – protecting nearly all people against disease who receive the recommended doses,” Bassett stated. “Do not wait to vaccinate.”
About 80% of infants in the state have gotten their shots, but vaccination rates vary by county. Rockland’s coverage is 60%, and health officials there have launched vaccination drives in recent weeks to boost protection. Nassau County shows a rate of 79%. In Yates County, the coverage is only 53%.
The inactivated polio vaccine, the only version in use in the United States, is shown to protect 99% of people from symptoms and paralysis caused by the virus.

Several cinema venues across the UK will be screening the Queen's funeral procession on Monday September 19, while others are to remain shut.
Vue cinemas will be screening the live broadcast free of charge. It will be the only screening for the entire day.
A statement on their Facebook read: "On Monday 19 September, our UK venues will be screening the live broadcast of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.
"Seats will be free of charge and our retail offering will be limited to complimentary bottled water during the broadcast, with no other snacks or drinks available for purchase. No other content will be shown on this day."
As reported in Birmingham Live, Cineworld, Odeon and Showcase cinemas will all shut on the Queen 's funeral. The chains will shut their sites on September 19 in a mark of respect.
Government guidance says: "Organisations may choose to close on the day of the State Funeral, however there is no obligation to do so and this is at the discretion of individual organisations.
"As with other organisations, these institutions may wish to display or share images of previous Royal visits, particularly if they are one of Her Majesty's patronages."
A statement from Odeon read: “As a mark of respect for Queen Elizabeth II all Odeon cinemas in the UK & Northern Ireland will be closed on Monday 19th September. We will re-open again on Tuesday 20th September.”
The Cineworld statement read: “Out of respect to HM Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family, all of our UK cinemas will be closed on Monday September 19, the day of the state funeral. Those who have made bookings for this day will be contacted shortly.”
Bookings for the screening can be made on each venues official website.
Other cinema chains which will be screening the sombre yet historic event include Curzon, who mostly have English venues, and Arc with one site in Peterhead. Like Vue, both venues will host the screening free of charge and cancel all other showings for that day.
Arc said in a statement on Twitter: "We have to decided to screen Her Majesty The Queen's State Funeral on Bank Holiday Monday 19th September at 11am.
"This is a free event but pre-booking your seat is essential. There will be no other shows taking place while the funeral is broadcast."

HOUSTON, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WM (NYSE:WM) today announced that it has agreed to acquire a controlling interest in Avangard Innovative's U.S. business, which will operate as Natura PCR – an independent company expected to scale and grow recycling capacity to produce an estimated 400 million pounds per year of post-consumer resin (PCR) in five years. Through Natura PCR, WM expects to deliver new recycling capabilities for its customers and provide circular solutions for films and clear plastic wrap used commercially, such as plastic stretch wrap for pallets, furniture film, grocery bags and potentially shrink wrap around food and beverage containers.
"WM's controlling interest in Natura PCR positions us to grow and scale rapidly in the emerging PCR space," said Jim Fish, president and CEO, WM. "WM's core material supply capabilities, with the head start and knowledge provided by Avangard's U.S. business, will help Natura PCR quickly deliver circular options to WM's customers as an important component of our continued growth strategy in recycling. Today, there is so much untapped potential to reuse film – which impacts many of our commercial customers. We can help our customers close the loop and bring more recycled materials to the store shelf."
Leading materials science company, Dow (NYSE: DOW) has been working with WM to help increase the recycling rate of plastics and create sustainable solutions in packaging, infrastructure and consumer applications. Dow has also been working with Avangard Innovative since early 2020, purchasing the company's PCR pellets to produce REVOLOOP™, Dow's product line with PCR content.
"We have been working with both companies to increase the use of recycled plastic in Dow's products, and Natura PCR brings together capabilities that will unlock more options for hard-to-recycle plastics for the industry," said Nestor de Mattos, North America commercial vice president, Packaging & Specialty Plastics, Dow. "Natura PCR further expands at scale, waste-to-market solutions across North America and advances our goal to help divert plastics from landfills to circular solutions."
Natura PCR will focus on the mechanical recycling of film and flexible plastics – some of the most complex plastics in the recycling stream today – and converts these materials to PCR that can be used to manufacture new products replacing virgin materials. These streams make up almost a quarter of today's plastic generation, but only about 5 percent is recycled today.
Demand for PCR is expected to grow in response to consumer-packaged goods companies' commitments to use recycled content and pressures from consumers and regulators to increase the PCR content in the packaging materials the companies manufacture. WM has demonstrated a track record of collecting materials from commercial streams for the feedstock needed to produce PCR content and expects its materials sourcing expertise will enable the increased volume of PCR pellets that Natura PCR can produce for use in new products.
"This transaction helps the business quickly scale operations, maximize source feedstock and meet the continued rise in demand for environmental additives, such as recycled plastic resin," said Rick Perez, CEO, Avangard Innovative. "After 30 years in the recycling business, WM's significant involvement, coupled with the strong relationship with Dow and other customers, will set Natura PCR up to offer the most innovative end-to-end circular economy solution in the market."
Natura PCR plans to grow recycling capabilities at Avangard's existing plant in Waller, Texas, and build new plant capacity in the Midwest. Natura PCR will be primarily owned and controlled by WM. Avangard and affiliated entities will hold a collective minority equity position in Natura PCR. WM expects to receive investment returns comparable to its previously announced automation investments in single-stream recycling. The transaction is expected to close in late 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

This straightforward version of tortilla soup comes together quickly. White or yellow canned hominy packs the mix with flavor. Made from dried maize kernels that have been treated with an alkali, hominy lends a fitting earthiness and nutty corn flavor.
Add-on garnishes play an important role as well. Broken tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges contribute both flavor and texture. When I’m in a decadent mood, I also add diced avocado and a dollop of sour cream.
Chicken Tortilla Soup with Poblanos and Hominy
Yield: 2 servings, can be doubled
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 poblano chilies, stemmed, seeded, chopped; see cook’s notes
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 (15-ounce) can white (or yellow) hominy, rinsed
4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast or tenderloins, trimmed if needed
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnishes: 2 cups (2 ounces) tortilla chips, broken into approximately 1-inch pieces, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Cook’s notes: Poblanos are fresh chilies that vary in spicy heat (Scoville units 1,000 to 3,000), generally milder than jalapenos. Sometimes they are labeled “pasilla.” They have dark forest-green skin and thick flesh. Upon completion of working with fresh chilies, wash hands and work surface and do NOT touch eyes or face.
PROCEDURE
1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering (use a Dutch oven if doubling). Add onion and poblanos; cook until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Stir in broth, water, hominy, and chicken, bring to simmer. Simmer until chicken is cooked through (registers 160 degrees), 5 to 10 minutes (time varies due to size of chicken). Transfer chicken to cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred into bite-size pieces using 2 forks.
3. Return soup to simmer, stir in shredded chicken, and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Taste: season with salt and pepper. Top each portion with 1 cup tortilla chips and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Serve with lime wedges. At my house, I provide some hot sauce on the table for those who want to increase the spicy heat.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: Winston Duke On M'Baku's Bigger Role
Black Panther became one of the most profitable films in the world back in 2018 when Marvel added the fan-favorite comic book character to the live-action universe, providing fans with a dazzling new faction of the MCU that proved to be an instant pop-culture staple. Obviously, the film's success led to the fast-tracking of a sequel; however, the passing of the kind-hearted and influential Chadwick Boseman left a major void for fans who had become enamored by the star's immaculate contributions to the MCU. Now, as the franchise progresses and hopes to respectfully move forward to honor the world of Wakanda and everything Boseman provided during his time with Marvel, the returning cast of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be challenged with a very different story to tell.
During a recent interview with another fan-favorite star Winston Duke at Marvel's D23 expo. The official Marvel Instagram page got the scoop on where things could go for Duke's own powerhouse character M'Baku. The actor divulged, "[M'Baku] is no longer the insular leader; he's learning how to move forward. So he has a very large, wide, macro lens as to what's happening, and I think we get to see more of that and see how much that impacts him. What I'm most excited for fans to see is how much more Wakanda there is. There's just so much more than the first movie, and that's exciting!"
Right from the jump, a big piece of the monumental success behind Black Panther has always been the rich world-building that comes with the territory, so to reintroduce us to several returning players with an unpredictable shift in power will certainly result in more than a few ripples for the MCU, Wakanda, and the Black Panther franchise entirely.
What are you hoping to see in the upcoming Black Panther sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever? Sound off in the comment section below!

Nature vs. laboratory: The differences between experimental evolution and natural adaptation
Humans have unwittingly been carrying out evolution experiments for millennia through the domestication of plants, animals, and fungi. Starting with the seminal experiments of William Dallinger in the late 19th century, such experiments have been performed under controlled laboratory conditions to better understand the processes and constraints of evolution.
Evolutionary experiments generally involve imposing a well-defined selective pressure (such as extreme temperature, limited nutrients, or the presence of a toxic compound) on an organism and then studying how it adapts to these new conditions. The longest-running controlled evolution experiment was begun in 1998 by Richard Lenski and continues to this day, involving over 60,000 generations of the bacterium Escherichia coli.
While these experiments have provided foundational insight into evolutionary processes such as adaptation, selection, and mutation, it is clear that natural evolution occurs under much more complex constraints. A new study published in Genome Biology and Evolution sheds new light on the manner in which laboratory evolution may differ from what occurs in nature.
According to co-author Ruth Hershberg, Associate Professor at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, their "results show that lab adaptation, which occurs in response to fairly simple and strong pressures, may often occur through mutations that either cannot occur in nature, or are very transient, if they do occur."
The study, which was co-authored by Technion Ph.D. student Yasmin Cohen, sought to explain an apparent paradox noticed by the authors when reflecting on the mutations identified in their own evolution experiments involving bacteria: namely, that the proteins in which mutations most often occur in the lab are the same as those that change most slowly over long evolutionary timescales.
To further explore this observation, Cohen and Hershberg specifically looked at two genes encoding the RNA polymerase core enzyme (RNAPC), which were shown to be involved in adaptation within many independent lab evolution experiments in E. coli, the species most commonly used for these types of experiments.
Their literature survey identified adaptive mutations at 140 amino acid positions across these proteins in response to 12 different laboratory conditions, including exposure to antibiotics, prolonged resource exhaustion, growth at high temperatures, and growth within low-nutrient (minimal) media. Surprisingly, there was very little overlap in these adaptive sites, with only four out of the 140 appearing under more than one condition.
In addition, by comparing these sites with the rest of the protein sequence across bacterial lineages, the authors found that not only does adaptation in the lab occur via mutations to highly conserved proteins, but even within the RNAPC proteins, the amino acid sites commonly mutated in laboratory experiments tended to be more highly conserved in nature than other positions within these proteins.
Further analysis identified a number of intriguing patterns. Positions at which adaptation occurred in laboratory experiments also tended to fall within defined protein functional domains, to cluster near each other on the protein structure, and to be located close to the RNAPC active site more often than other sites.
To see whether similar dynamics were at play for other proteins, Cohen and Hershberg looked at 19 other proteins containing adaptive mutations associated with resource exhaustion. They found that, as with the RNAPC proteins, sites associated with adaptation in laboratory experiments tended to be more highly conserved among bacteria.
Even more interestingly, when looking at the four selective pressures for which there was sufficient data, these patterns held for antibiotic exposure, minimal media, and prolonged resource exhaustion but not for growth at high temperatures. Thus, adaptations to high temperatures do not exhibit higher conservation, are not clustered near each other or the complex's active site, and are not enriched within functional domains.
As Hershberg notes, it is unclear how common this finding is. "We cannot currently be certain whether adaptations to most conditions behave like the majority of characterized adaptations, with high temperature being an outlier, or whether there are many conditions without data currently available that more closely resemble what is seen for high temperature."
What is clear is that the dynamics of lab adaptation differ greatly from those of natural adaptation. This is because, as the authors explain, "in lab experiments, bacteria are generally exposed to relatively simple, strong, and constant selective pressures. The selective pressures faced within more natural environments are likely far more complex, with several different factors exerting contradictory pressures simultaneously and/or with selective pressures that change with time. Adaptations of the kind that arise so easily during lab evolution may not be so easily permitted within natural environments…Additionally, if such adaptations do occur in response to a specific set of conditions, they may prove to be highly transient, rapidly decreasing in frequency once conditions change."
In order to explore these questions further, Hershberg believes that it will be "important to try and figure out what these adaptations do in the context in which they are adaptive and to measure their fitness effects under various conditions…Focusing on RNAPC enzyme adaptations could be a useful place to start." Importantly, such studies could provide new insight into the mechanisms by which evolution occurs, both in the lab and in nature. According to Hershberg, "Understanding the reasons for these differences may enable us to learn important lessons on natural adaptation."

Area restaurant owner excited for NFL season and what it means for business
A local bar and restaurant owner is excited for the start of the NFL season.
Matt Komsa, co-owner of The Goat Tap and Eatery in LaSalle and Lakeshore as well as The Bull & Barrel Urban Saloon in downtown Windsor, says the NFL season means draft beer and chicken wing sales start going through the roof.
He's expecting a boost in business during the football season.
Komsa is also anticipating more people coming out to watch the games since there are no longer COVID-19 restrictions in place.
"We definitely see a significant uptick in business during football season."
He says his establishments see a good turnout for every game.
"I think there's a little bit extra, extra spice this year just for the simple fact that last year we were still doing with COVID issues and border crossing issues but I feel like finally everything is opened up and it's back to business.
He says he's feeling the buzz and excitement for the football season.
"I think in Windsor you see fans of all the 32 NFL teams and I think that's great for the NFL that there's such a diverse fan base and obviously all of them are wrong if they're not Lions fans but every game is a good turnout," Komsa said.
COVID-19 restrictions were in place for bars and restaurants during the 2020-21 season and the 2021-2022 season.
The NFL season kicked off Thursday night with the Buffalo Bill squaring off against the defending Super Bowl champs, Los Angeles Rams.
The Detroit Lions begin their season at home Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles.

What happened
Boeing (NYSE: BA) released weak August delivery numbers on a day when investors were already worried about the state of the economy. As a result, Boeing shares are falling more than the market averages, down more than 5% in midday trading.
So what
Boeing came into 2022 hoping to bounce back after a number of difficult years for the aerospace giant. Issues with the 737 MAX stunted growth in 2019, and the pandemic soon after caused airlines to scale back growth plans and suspend airplane orders.
Demand for new planes is returning, but perhaps not as fast as investors had hoped. On Tuesday, Boeing said it delivered 35 planes in August, including its first 787 deliveries in nearly two years. The 787 had been in a holding pattern while Boeing and its regulator worked out a plan to inspect for and correct cracks in its carbon fiber body.
The delivery total is an improvement over the 26 in July, but down from 51 in June. Boeing and archrival Airbus, which delivered 39 planes during the month, have warned that continuing supply chain issues are crimping production and leading to a decline in deliveries.
Boeing shares are also likely feeling the impact of the hotter-than-expected inflation numbers that were released on Tuesday, which is a drag on the broader markets. Investors are worried that the Federal Reserve's effort to fight inflation could send the economy into a recession, which in turn could limit demand for air travel and cause airlines to rethink their growth plans heading into 2023.
Now what
There's plenty of room for Boeing to soar from here. The company is one-half of a global duopoly and the long-term forecast for travel suggests the world will need a lot more airplanes in the years to come. The question is how long it will take for the growth story to materialize. So far, there is nothing to suggest a surge is imminent.
Given Boeing's quality problems and other issues in recent years, investors understandably aren't willing to wait in a holding pattern for clarity on where the economy is going. In this macroeconomic environment, it will likely be difficult for Boeing shares to take flight.

Los Angeles Angels centerfielder Mike Trout of Vineland, New Jersey is red hot as of late. Despite the fact the Angels do not have any more important games down the stretch, Trout is one game away from Major League history.
Over the last week, Trout has hit a home run in seven straight games. Three players have the record for hitting a home run in eight straight games. They are Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Dale Long of Springfield, Missouri, who had a home run in eight straight games from May 19-28, 1956, New York Yankees first baseman Don Mattingly of Evansville, Indiana, who had a home run in eight straight games from July 8-18, 1987, and Seattle Mariners outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. of Donora, Pennsylvania, who had a home run in eight straight games from July 20-28, 1993.

Broncos Fall to Seahawks: The Good, Bad & Ugly
When the Denver Broncos took the field on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks, the hangover from not playing starters in the preseason was apparent. The Broncos looked like they needed a big dose of caffeine.
In the opening game of the season, Broncos Country’s hopes were dashed as the team could not overcome mental errors, penalties, and turnovers. To make matters worse, the Seahawks played with a higher sense of urgency and were more physical.
Give the Broncos credit; they fought to the end in the 17-16 loss. The key takeaway from Monday night’s game? It's that winning in the NFL requires playing good football all four quarters.
Let's cover the good, bad, and ugly from Denver's season-opening loss to Seattle.
The Good
The Offense
After an offensive drought over the last few years, it was refreshing to see head coach Nathaniel Hackett’s newly-minted outside zone run scheme generate long drives. Russell Wilson went 29-of-42 for 340 passing yards and a touchdown with a passer rating of 101.3.
It was a breath of fresh air to see a Broncos QB throw for over 300 yards. Although the running backs coughed up two devastating fumbles on the goal-line, for most of the game, the Orange and Blue were able to move the ball down the field. However, inside the 10-yard line, the offense stalled three times due to penalties and defensive pressure on Wilson.
It was great to see Hackett create opportunities for Jerry Jeudy to shine.
Tight Ends
One of the most unheralded position groups on the Broncos' roster was key in helping the offense consistently gain yards. Fullback/tight end Andrew Beck caught three first-quarter passes that forced the Seahawks' defense to adjust their tactics to compensate.
Not wanting to be left out, Albert Okwuegbunam kept the chains moving by catching five passes. Eric Saubert and Eric Tomlinson were road graders in opening holes for the running backs.
Bradley Chubb | OLB
After a slow start, Chubb made two timely sacks that altered the game's trajectory.
The Bad
The Defense
Read More
The Broncos' defense began the game with a lack of intensity and willingness to be physical, which allowed the Seahawks to extend drives. Denver's defense allowed journeyman quarterback Geno Smith to look masterful during key stretches of the game.
Smith went 23-of-28 for 195 yards and two touchdowns. He consistently found seems in the Broncos' soft zone coverage. The lack of tackling at game speed in the preseason was a factor in allowing the Seahawks' running backs to gain additional yards after contact.
Safety Justin Simmons, cornerback Patrick Surtain II, and outside linebacker Randy Gregory must be a bigger factor in future contests.
The Ugly
Goal-line Fumbles
Both Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams fumbled the ball away on the goal-line, costing the Broncos 14 points. It was the first time two different backs had fumbled on the goal-line in the same game since 1987.
Ugly.
Collective Failure
The players and coaches own Monday’s loss. Neither group was fully prepared to compete at the level necessary to win. The Seahawks earned the victory.
The biggest miss was Hackett’s decision to take his $245 million QB off the field on 4th-&-5 to attempt a 64-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the game. It was highly questionable.
After Monday night’s game, there are many lessons to be learned by the entire organization. Broncos Country should take the same approach.
The Broncos did show improvement from last year’s squad. Look for the team to bounce back versus the Houston Texans next week.

‘Fantastic Four’ director revealed at D23, and it’s a familiar MCU face
Marvel has announced the new director for the upcoming Fantastic Four film at the D23 Expo’s Marvel Studios panel. The film is currently slated to be released on Nov. 8, 2024. While Jon Watts, the director of the three MCU Spider-Man films, was attached to direct, he departed the project in April 2022. The new director has been announced, and it is none other than the director of WandaVision, Matt Shakman. Shakman reportedly walked away from a Star Trek project earlier in the year to clear his schedule for Fantastic Four. He also directed many episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia — meaning people’s fan casting of that cast as the Fantastic Four, and Danny DeVito as the Thing, is that much closer to being realized.

Judge Trump’s special fight against FBI research is a red herring
Since an alarmed and exasperated FBI finally executed a search warrant at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on August 8, Trump has thrown wrench after wrench into the investigation. of the government on very sensitive government documents kept at Mar-a-Lago. There were statements of anger on Truth Social, outrage at the officers who took his passports (the location of the passports, in the drawer of the former president’s desk alongside classified documents, is proof of Trump’s knowledge of the classified document) and, most recently, a contested request that the court appoint a special master to review the documents seized for attorney-client and executive privileges.
Trump has thrown one wrench after another into the government’s investigation into highly sensitive government documents.
Trump’s tactic gained traction. Federal Judge Aileen Cannon approved the appointment of a special master and barred the government from reviewing the seized documents or using them in its investigation pending the special master’s review. According to the Department of Justice, this is an untenable position. The DOJ asked the judge to stay his injunction regarding the seized classified documents, arguing, reasonably, that the pre-existing classified government documents could in no way implicate solicitor-client privilege or executive privilege. The DOJ is ready to appeal its decision. Trump and his lawyers asked Cannon to ignore the DOJ’s request and keep the injunction in place.
So there’s a fight going on in West Palm Beach over who controls the government investigation. The DOJ? Asset? The tribunal?
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Donald Trump and the Florida court cannot change the fact that Trump wrongly had classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Whether the DOJ will ultimately charge Trump with a crime will depend on a lot of things, but not the main special ruling.
Even Trump’s former attorney general, William Barr, recently called Trump’s special main motion a “red fugue.” And he was right about that. A red herring is a fatty, smelly fish from the seas of northern Europe. When the dogs used by fox hunters in England to sniff out their prey got too good at their job, hunters had to find a way to prolong the thrill of the hunt. Eventually, they began trailing smelly red herrings, temporarily distracting the dogs from the scent of foxes.
With the mantle of his former position, Trump has plenty of red herrings he can use to distract and delay the government investigation. But when it comes to obstruction of justice and possession of sensitive government documents, the dogs will eventually find the foxes.
Cannon’s appointment of a special master, while frustratingly ambiguous and in dire need of clarification, is not going to change the final outcome of this investigation. The Justice Department was probably never going to press charges against anyone this close to the midterm elections. That election is now less than 60 days away, and bringing charges at a time that could impact the election would violate a longstanding DOJ policy that exists to prevent partisanship from arising.
Trump’s motion for a special master, and a court’s acquiescence, are part of a day’s work for the DOJ.
And, even setting aside the court-ordered special examination, it’s likely that the DOJ will still take several months to conclude its investigation. In its most recent filing, the DOJ argued that it has yet to determine precisely how the documents were removed from the White House, how they were stored (and possibly moved) at Mar-A-Lago, and the actions taken by Trump’s team to comply with the May 11, 2022 federal grand jury subpoena. This means the DOJ still has work to do to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
The search warrant dispute has been a time-consuming distraction for the DOJ, but it’s not going to derail the investigation. FBI agents are investigators and DOJ attorneys are litigants. Investigations and litigation are always full of surprises – new witnesses report different facts, equipment breaks, judges make unexpected decisions, jurors declare themselves sick. Dealing with the unexpected is an integral part of the job. Trump’s motion for a special master, and a court’s acquiescence, are part of a day’s work for the DOJ.
But the debate over the special appointment of the master is itself a red herring in terms of what many Democrats might see as the bigger picture – charging Trump with a crime and barring him from running for president. in 2024.
There may be good reasons not to indict Trump, even if the evidence warrants it. For example, accusing Trump could deepen the country’s partisan divide, or risk having to leak highly classified national secrets in court.
More importantly, even a criminal conviction is unlikely to prevent Trump from being president again. Contrary to popular belief, just being a convicted felon does not disqualify someone from becoming President of the United States. While there are theories that some argue that Trump could be kicked out of the presidency, these theories give rise to an impressive array of legal challenges.
Ultimately, Trump’s victory as president will not hinge on Cannon appointing a special master to review the documents. It will come down to something far more fundamental to our democracy: whether Americans believe Trump is fit to be the leader of the free world.

Upstate New York village with restaurant, 9 houses ask for $4.2 million
You won’t be the mayor of this upstate New York village, but now, and for the first time in generations, you can own it.
Indeed, a far-from-ordinary offering — encompassing a small gated complex with its own restaurant and nine residences spread across leafy grounds — hit the market for $4.2 million, The Post has learned.
Located in the town of Oneonta — an hour and a half west of the state capital — the assembly spans more than 270 acres.
Additionally, the community features 46 bedrooms, 27.5 bathrooms, chicken coops, a fenced-in tennis court, expansive swimming pool, frog pond, and well-maintained Japanese garden. Meanwhile, his restaurant has been serving customers for more than 40 years, the listing notes.
Known as Emmons Farm, the estate was owned by Lee Peakes and two other branches of the family who now reside in Germany and Venezuela. The same family had owned most of the land since before 1835, the listing notes – and they are now looking for a new generation to take it all on.
It was first owned by Peakes’ great-grandmother, who took it upon herself to expand an already historic estate.
“Until 1964 it was strictly used as residential property for her,” Peakes told the Post. The years since have seen subsequent generations, six in total, spend time at the property – but with family members living abroad these days it’s only used for weekends casual together.
“Because this is such a beautiful historic property, our family has decided, after many years of deliberation, that it deserves new life,” Peakes added.
The main house, named Woodchuck Knoll, has 11 bedrooms and is the only residence that has never been rented out. Instead, it’s used by families who live overseas when they come to visit the United States, Peakes added.
The earliest building on it dates to the mid to late 1800s. The grounds further include the Carriage House, a stately four-family unit with wood-beamed ceilings; the Granary building; a duplex residence next door; a greenhouse, which has now been converted into three bedrooms; and a two-bathroom cottage, with vaulted ceilings and a stone patio.
The former dunghill is now a three-story, two-bedroom cottage known as the Cellar House, which features a loft bedroom and vaulted ceilings. Then there is the Feedhouse – a one bedroom, one bathroom cottage with a terrace overlooking the expanse of land. Each residence has its own garage.
“When you sell a house, you want it to go to a good person because you are invested in it. You put your own life into this thing. You want it to go to someone who appreciates it,” Peakes said. “But once they’ve bought it, it’s theirs. I hope someone buys it and brings it back to life, especially my grandmother’s house. It’s the one sitting empty. If they want to incorporate the apartments as a business. That they want to develop more because there’s a ton of properties out there, we just didn’t have the money to develop it , nor the skills needed to make developments.
As it stands, residences are rented out to residents on year-to-year terms, including teachers who work in local schools.
“We’ve been busy for 25 years,” Peakes said. “We never had a vacancy.”
“Every summer, we took our children to visit Grandma on the farm. Jan Peakes, wife of Lee Peakes, added. “It was kind of a magical place. Swimming pool, tennis courts. It was then that they also met their German and Venezuelan parents.
Woodchuck Knoll, the main house, features a formal entrance, music room, sunken living room with stone fireplace, and dining room with wet bar. The kitchen still contains an original six-burner stove with a 1930s oven, as well as an original “Icebox” refrigerator. Modern devices were also installed in the years that followed. This main residence is located on 3.5 acres of land surrounded by pine trees for more privacy.
“Over the past 40 years, the family has reinvested all rental income from the buildings and income generated from the adjacent commercial property to maintain the quality and beauty of…Emmons Farm,” Peakes said. “We hope the new owner will have the same interest in preserving the beauty of this historic property.”
The Peakes, who now spend time between Martha’s Vineyard and Florida, described the home as once “Gatsby-ish” in the early days.
“I’ve seen photos of the Japanese garden with peacocks marching. It was a different lifestyle,” Jan said. “It is a very nice property. »

Twitter shareholders appear to approve $44 billion musk deal
Twitter shareholders appeared on Tuesday to approve a deal with billionaire Elon Musk, who signed a deal in the spring to buy the social network for 44 billion dollars. Musk is now trying to back out of the deal, but Twitter shareholders appear to have said they want it to continue.
At a special meeting, preliminary Twitter tabulations favored the acquisition, although final votes were still being counted. Under the deal, Musk would pay $54.20 per share for Twitter. The publicly traded company would also go private.
Shareholders had until Tuesday’s meeting to register their votes. The meeting itself went off without fanfare and without the leaders answering questions from the participants. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal had no comment.
The shareholder approval is the latest development in a chaotic Twitter story that has unfolded over the past few months. Musk’s about-face on buying the social network has created uncertainty about Twitter’s future.
Twitter’s initial bid at $54.20 per share marked a 38% premium to the company’s stock price on April 1. Twitter’s stock is trading down about 1% from the opening bell on Tuesday, at $41.84 per share.
Musky Turbulences
When Musk unveiled his plan to buy Twitter, he painted himself as a savior of free speech which would free the social network from its self-imposed rules on content moderation. But at the beginning of July, he had changed his mind and announced that he was withdraw from the case.
Musk and Twitter have been locked in a legal battle since. Twitter alleges in a lawsuit filed over the summer that the Tesla and SpaceX executive no longer wants to buy the social network because his personal wealth has plummeted. Musk, on the other hand, has Twitter accused misrepresentation or omission of information, including the number of fake accounts and spam on its platform.
Separately, former Twitter security chief Peiter “Mudge” Zatko filed a whistleblower complaint this summer about privacy and security issues he allegedly discovered while working for the company. The 84-page complaint, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice and the US Federal Trade Commission, outlines numerous security risks on Twitter. He also alleges that Twitter lied to Musk about the number of bots on the platform.
Musk’s lawyers are using the whistleblower’s complaint in the billionaire’s case to end the deal. Zatko, who denied filing charges to help Musk, testified before a Senate Committee earlier Tuesday. Twitter has disputed Zatko’s claims and says his complaint is inaccurate, inconsistent and lacks context.
Twitter and Musk are set to square off in a five-day trial in Delaware Chancery Court starting Oct. 17.

latest news Evacuation orders remain in San Bernardino County as it deals with mud and debris flows
Forecasters predict drier weather ahead after Tropical Storm Kay hit parts of Southern California on Monday, with intense thunderstorms bringing heavy rain, flash flooding and landslides to several Inland communities Empire near recently burned areas.
Evacuation orders remained in place Tuesday morning for some residents of Oak Glen and Forest Falls in San Bernardino County due to threats of mudslides and debris, affecting about 50 homes, the Department of Health said. San Bernardino County Sheriff. An evacuation center has been set up at Redlands East Valley High School, located at 31000 E. Colton Ave. at Redlands.
Oak Glen and Forest Falls are communities close to the burn scars of El Dorado and Apple.
According to a post from the San Bernardino County Fire Department on Facebook, more than 40 firefighters, including several heavy equipment operators and other personnel, searched Forest Hills on Monday and found downed power lines, leaking propane tanks, damaged structures and roads buried in mud and debris. . The Potato Canyon Road and Oak Glen Road area in Oak Glen was also ravaged by downpours and mudslides.
Photos and videos from the areas show foot-high mudslides, sections of collapsed houses, an overturned car covered in mud, streams gushing with water, and roads covered in rocks and debris.
Elizabeth Schenk, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego, said some areas of the Apple Burns area and El Dorado were getting more than 2 inches of rain per hour.
“It was pretty remarkable,” Schenk said. Strawberry Creek, which is in the burn scar area, received the most precipitation, with 2.88 inches of rain on Monday. Several other places recorded more than an inch of rain.
No injuries or missing residents were reported on Monday, but crews were keep looking areas for all casualties and other hazardous flood fallout, the San Bernardino County Fire Department posted on Facebook.
The sheriff’s department had no additional updates Tuesday morning. The San Bernardino County Fire Department could not be reached for comment.
National road 38 and National Road 18 were reopened early Tuesday morning after portions of each road were taken out of service Monday night by storm damage, according to Caltrans District 8 social media posts.
Riverside County was also hit by flooding, with KTLA-TV Channel 5 reporting that at least two vehicles became stranded when a stretch of Chicago Avenue was submerged. The video showed residents of the Perris area standing on the roof of their car as their vehicle got stuck in a sudden mudslide.
Remnant moisture from Tropical Storm Kay, which slammed into the southern California coast last week and was the closest region to a tropical storm in 25 years, helped generate the storms.
Tuesday should be a milder forecast, with only scattered storms and no widespread flash flooding, said Greg Martin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego.
“Today is a calm day and we should see less than yesterday,” Martin said, adding that storms will be less frequent, lighter and at higher elevations on Tuesday. “This is the very end of this active period.”
Scattered thunderstorms could develop around noon and extend into the early afternoon over the mountains of San Bernardino County and Riverside. High desert areas, including Victorville and Hesperia, and most eastern parts of the Inland Empire could also experience storms. There are no flash flood watches or warnings in effect, Martin said, adding that any flash flood should be an isolated incident.
There’s an “outside chance” of storms rolling into Oak Glen and Forest Falls on Tuesday, but any precipitation should be less severe than Monday, said Brandt Maxwell, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in San Diego.
Andrew Rorke, a senior National Weather Service forecaster in Oxnard, said storms rolled into parts of Los Angeles County on Monday, including localized flooding in Antelope Valley. A slight chance of storms remains from early afternoon to early evening in the LA County Mountains and Antelope Valley, although it is expected to be less powerful than the past few days. “The drying trend continues,” Rorke said.
Last week, the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center estimated that the La Niña weather pattern, which is likely driving the unrelenting drought in the southwestern United States, could last through November.
As La Niña points to a drier-than-normal winter, California could escape its fate, Rorke said.
“We can get up and roll that seven if we’re lucky,” Rorke said.

“I don’t believe in raising the legal retirement age, it’s an old refrain, you’ll never hear me say to a worker or a 60-year-old craftsman who has worked all his life, who will be broken by work, that he will have to work a few more years”, declared this September 13 the deputy LR Aurélien Pradié at the microphone of France inter.
The one who currently holds the post of secretary general of the party and is seeking the presidency has pleaded for a reform based on annuities and taking into account the hardship. “It is according to the number of years worked that we must calculate our retirement. It is a fair measure which must take into account the arduousness – you work for five years in a difficult position, in a difficult situation, you gain a year of retirement, ”he said.
But this idea is far from unanimous in his own party. Thus, his competitor for the presidency of the Republicans, Senator Bruno Retailleau, on the same day, defended on the contrary on Sud Radio the raising of the legal retirement age “if we want to preserve the quality of life, the purchasing power of our retirees”.
A position close to that of the current president of the party, Olivier Marleix, who on France Info once again declared himself in favor of extending the retirement age, declaring: “For us, 64 could be a first step. The sole purpose of such a reform is to be able to increase pensions in our country.” But specific on the starting age, he said nothing about the increase in pensions.
“Total Opposition” by Marine Le Pen
Also interviewed on September 13, on Radio J, the Minister Delegate for People with Disabilities, Geneviève Darrieussecq, did not rule out that the pension reform would be voted on quickly via the Social Security Financing Bill.
The day before, President Emmanuel Macron had told journalists from the Presidential Press Association that the pension reform could not wait any longer and should come into force “from 2023”.
Finally, Marine Le Pen promised on September 13 on France 2 that her party would oppose a reform this fall. “If Emmanuel Macron, as I can hear, uses the Social Security budget to attack pensions, that is to say, in reality to circumvent a genuine debate on this subject, he will find himself confronted with total opposition on our part”, warned the boss of the RN group in the National Assembly.

Mary Peltola, a native of Alaska, will be sworn in Congress: NPR
Liz Ruskin/Alaska Public Media
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Mary Peltola will be sworn in as a member of Congress. But on Monday morning, she was speaking to reporters outside a locked door of what was Congressman Don Young’s office, across from the US Capitol.
“I don’t have any keys yet,” she said between interviews with Time Magazine and CBS. “I’m not an official member yet, so I’m standing here as one of Don’s constituents.”
The Alaskans elected Peltola to fill the remainder of Young’s term. Alaska’s only seat in the House has been vacant since his death in March.
Peltola is attracting unusual national media attention as the first Alaskan native elected to Congress, and even more so due to his special election win over Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor endorsed by former President Donald Trump. . She receives more than 100 interview requests a day, her new spokesperson said.
She was surprised to find that she was even recognized here on the street.
“There was a young man who said, ‘Whoa, did you just win the seat in Alaska? And so we had a selfie…it was really sweet,” she said.
His swearing-in will take place on the House floor at 2:30 p.m. Alaska time on Tuesday. It can be viewed here. It will be followed by a swearing-in ceremony in a reception room on the first floor of the House.
Peltola is in Washington with her seven children (including three stepchildren), two grandchildren, two sisters and her husband.
The eve of the swearing-in was filled with tasks, big and small. She had to pick up a special lapel pin that identifies her as a member of the United States House, allowing her to pass security throughout the Capitol. She had to start a series of COVID tests to accept an invitation to the White House to watch President Biden sign a bill on Tuesday afternoon.
Plus, “lots of interviews, and I’m going to take my 16-year-old son to make sure he has a suit that fits,” she said.
While she serves out the rest of Young’s term, Peltola will also campaign for re-election in November, when she’s on the ballot with Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich, and Libertarian Chris Bye.
Delighted Alaskan Brian Guvenir stumbled upon Peltola while walking up Capitol Hill from the National Mall.
“I came over and said, ‘Oh, there’s Mary Peltola! ‘” said Guvenir, a nurse from Anchorage visiting DC while his wife was attending a conference here.
Guvenir, an independent, said he voted for Peltola and was impressed with the civil tone she adopted for her campaign.
“We encourage him so much. So much,” he said. “I know it’s a big task, a big responsibility. I know she’s a little nervous but that’s okay. We encourage her to do this job for all Alaskans.”
Peltola also took a moment for a selfie with two Australian tourists.
“God’s wisdom about you and your future,” Jane Jayes, from Perth, said as they parted.
“I need all the prayers I can get, so thank you very much,” Peltola said.
On Monday, she quickly went through her to-do list. By afternoon Peltola had his pin and had access to his office in the Rayburn House Office Building.

Shakhtar Donetsk will play their home game from Group F of the Champions League against Celtic on Wednesday in Poland because of the Russian military invasion in Ukraine, even after previously relocating to Lviv, Kharkiv and Kiev.
Joint-top in the Ukrainian Premier League and already braving losing players due to the ongoing war, Igor Jovicecic's men put in a belter of a performance to take three points from a 4-1 win at RB Leipzig last week, while Celtic suffered a 3-0 beating at the hands of reigning champions Real Madrid.
As Marian Shved has scored thrice in the last two games, Oleh Ocheretko scored a stoppage time winner in the 2-1 result against Chornomorets Odesa over the weekend as Celtic have had the weekend off following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

There’s no government money being used by this homeless provider
Solutions for Change announces campaign to raise about $5 million for six new buildings
Two years after ending its residential program over a dispute about federal funding requirements, the nonprofit Solutions for Change is rebooting its housing program with a plan to fund it solely on donations.
“We’re not against government funding,” Solutions for Change President and CEO Chris Megison said at the organization’s Vista campus last week. “We love taxpayers. We are not against that, but we are for solving the root causes of family homelessness, and until they can both mutually co-exist, we’re going to abstain.”
Megison opposes the housing-first requirement tied to federal funding for homeless housing. Under housing first, programs applying for the money cannot make sobriety and addiction treatment mandatory for shelter. Those who do, such as Megison, are ineligible for government assistance.
Megison on Friday announced the kick-off of a $4.8 million fundraising campaign to refurbish six parcels and pay off their purchases to restart its residential program. Also on Friday, Megison accepted a $1 million donation from Chris Chen to go toward the original $5.8 million debt and accepted $97,000 in items from Jerome’s Furniture.
Megison and his wife, Tammy, founded Solutions for Change in 1999, and the nonprofit’s website states it has served 1,300 families over the year.
In recent years, however, the nonprofit has become out of step with the national approach to homelessness, and Megison at times has been critical of other homeless service providers for, in his view, leading people more toward dependency than self-sufficiency.
A breaking point came in October 2020, when Solutions for Change abandoned its 47-unit residential program because a new law prohibited sobriety and program enrollment as a requirement for homeless housing. At the time, Solutions for Change clients were required to do drug testing and enroll in one of its programs.
Four years earlier, Megison had declined $600,000 in federal grants because of housing-first requirements. Proponents of housing first argue that recovery programs have a greater chance at success if people are first placed in a stable environment, such as a home.
Megison has said the approach is not a good fit for his clients, who often are families with children and do not want to be around people who may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
At Friday’s event, Megison said after a year-long analysis, Solutions for Change had found raising its own funds was a viable solution to rebooting and expanding its program.
The nonprofit has purchased six parcels, including an apartment building, detached homes and duplexes that surround its Vista campus at 722 W. California Ave. Megison said six families will move into one duplex next week, while construction work is needed on other buildings, which will require approval from the city of Vista.
About 90 volunteers pitched in during a rainy and humid day to unload and assemble beds, tables and other furnishing that had been donated by Jerome’s Furniture for the new dwellings.
Chen presented an oversized $1,000,000 check from the First Singles Church, USA, in honor of his father, Dr. Richard M.K. Chen.
About 60 supporters at times cheered as Megison talked about Solutions for Change and his defiance of the government’s funding requirements.
“The customer we serve will never ever be a faceless government system,” he said. “Those we serve will always be the courageous mother and father who walk through our door, ready to claim victory over their vulnerability.”
Once all the new housing is ready, Megison said 550 individuals would go through the 700-day Solutions Academy over three years. The academy includes job training, leadership training, family management skills, financial literacy, personal development and accountability.
“The new homelessness system requires any homeless nonprofit that gets government funding to not enforce personal accountability-based programs,” Megison said. “That means if somebody relapses on heroin in this place, we could not enforce our regular intervention protocol, which would help him get out of here, get help and then come back. We would have to let them stay here and use methamphetamine and heroin in our program.”
The assembled group applauded Megison when he said Solutions for Change had rejected the requirement when it was pushed on them by the government.
Megison also said Solutions for Change could run its program more cost-effectively than the government. He projected the program would cost $42,000 annually for each family, while a government-funded program would cost $200,000.
Job-training programs are not unique to Solutions for Change, but are not a requirement at other homeless service providers.
Interfaith Community Services offers free training for a variety of jobs for veterans and other clients, and Father Joe’s Villages has several programs for employment and education services.
Some housing programs also are focused on helping people become self-sufficient. The national rapid rehousing model, for instance, provides rental assistance that tapers off over time as a way of encouraging people to find employment and become self-sufficient.

The Banshees of Inisherin
Starring Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan, Pat Shortt, Gary Lydon, David Pearse and Sheila Flitton. Written and directed by Martin McDonagh. Screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. 114 minutes. STC
The good folk of Inisherin, an island off the coast of Ireland, generally keep their collars buttoned to the top and their tweed garments well layered.
It’s to ward off the perpetual chill of a place that is blessed with scenery but not reliably good weather.
The one chill islanders don’t have to bother with involves social relations. Everybody gets along with everybody else and, even if they don’t, they still talk civilly to one another. How could they not, with statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary smiling at them beatifically at seemingly every turn?
Until the day comes when dairyman Pádraic (Colin Farrell), a man so carefree he often doesn’t know what month it is, calls upon his lifelong friend Colm (Brendan Gleeson), a fiddle player and aspiring composer.
It’s time for their daily afternoon pint of Guinness down at the pub.
But on this day, Colm is having none of it and apparently never again any of it: “I don’t like you anymore,” he flatly declares to an astonished and hurt Pádraic.
Therein turns the tale of “The Banshees of Inisherin,” a film by Oscar-winning writer/director Martin McDonagh (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) that you could call a comedy if you have an extremely dark sense of humour and a keen appreciation of fatalism, as the Irish certainly do.
Whatever you choose to call it, the film is often very funny. It’s a f---in’ good yarn, to use a word that rhymes with “pecking,” an adjective oft heard in Inisherin.
The movie arrives at the Toronto International Film Festival with garlands of Best Actor (Farrell) and Best Screenplay from the Venice International Film Festival. Judging from the gales of laughter at the screening I attended, it stands a good chance of nabbing the TIFF audience award this weekend.
McDonagh often employs absurd extremes to tell his stories — recall the accusatory billboards of his previous film — and here’s the strangest one yet: Colm tells Pádraic that if he doesn’t leave him be, he will respond by chopping off one of his own fingers or thumbs, all 10 digits if need be. It’s all the more terrible a deed for a fiddler player to threaten.
And for what mad reason? Colm has decided that he can no longer abide Pádraic’s endless nattering, which includes a two-hour dissertation on his wee horse’s anal excretions. In a word, Colm finds Pádraic dull and, as he nears his retirement years, he wants to spend the rest of his days “thinking and composing,” not engaging in small talk. The year is 1923, which makes it almost a century ahead of our modern phenomenon of “ghosting” a friend.
Pádraic certainly can talk — he’s “kissed the Blarney Stone,” as the Irish would say — but everyone agrees it’s unfair to single him out as being dull.
“You’re all f---ing boring!” Pádraic’s sister Siobhan (Kerry Condon) tells Colm and she would know. She’s contemplating leaving the island because there’s no man there she’d happily marry. This especially includes the local fool Dominic (Barry Keoghan), who has the habit of saying what people are only thinking.
It’s seems obvious that Colm is suffering from a serious case of depression — he’s confessed feelings of despair to his local priest — but there’s apparently no therapist available to help him. There’s also no doubting the seriousness of his finger-chopping threat, which you know won’t stop there if you’re familiar with how far McDonagh takes things, especially when he pairs Farrell and Gleeson, as he previously did for “In Bruges.”
I should mention that Inisherin is a fictional place and the movie is a fairy tale, albeit a very grim one, lit more like dire Irish drama than green-and-sunny shamrock comedy.
Reality intrudes with the sound of gunfire across the water on the mainland, where a sectarian civil war ensues, something that has long shattered the peace of the Emerald Isle. Indeed, if there’s any message to the film, it’s the caution that small hurts and insults left unsettled can lead to bigger and more dangerous battles, as those guns across the water attest.
And what of the banshees of the title, a reference to the female spirits of Irish folklore who wail to portend a family death? It’s explained in due course, along with the observation that if Inisherin in fact has any banshees, they “sit and observe, amused.” And so do we.
TIFF ’22 Hot Takes
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery: Mirthful menace as Rian Johnson obeys sequel law for “Knives Out 2”: more of everything, including fresh schemers, a fab sidekick and exotic location (Greek island). Daniel Craig’s sleuth Benoit Blanc still delights, but he’s now more Austin Powers than 007.
Triangle of Sadness: Ruben Östlund’s Cannes 2022 Palme d’Or winner gets off to a roaring start on dry land, skewering fashion, models and dating. Then it takes to the high seas on a luxury ship of fools and the jokes get scattered — Gilligan, ahoy! Still funny, though.
Broker: The tragedy of child trafficking is played for cheap road trip epiphanies in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest, a sad comedown from “Like Father Like Son” and Palme-winning “Shoplifters.” Even an actor as simpatico as Song Kang-ho (“Parasite”) can’t pull this off.
Emily: Actor turned writer/director Frances O’Connor starred in a “Mansfield Park” adaptation; she knows literary drama. Now she what-ifs the birth of Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights,” with Emma Mackey giving a smashing title performance that exceeds the film’s limits.
Holy Spider: Zar Amir-Ebrahimi rocks in this fact-based Ali Abbasi thriller about a serial killer preying on prostitutes in Iran. Ebrahimi plays a journalist who risks her life for the truth, knowing many people consider the killer to be God’s avenger.
The End of Sex: Bundling their daughters off to winter camp (it’s Canada, eh?), Josh (Jonas Chernick) and Emma (Emily Hampshire) seek to restart the love flame with some kinky fun. Life intrudes. Sean Garrity’s laugher isn’t orgasmic, but it’s still enjoyable and that’s the point.

A four hundred thousand dollar (EC$400,000) sporting facility was opened in Central Leeward on Sunday, September 11. The Layou playing field now has a new Pavilion with changing rooms, bathrooms, locker rooms and two seating areas.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Area Representative Hon. Orando Brewster urged the residents of Layou to take care of the facility. The Minister added that the playing field will be enclosed and further work will be done on the old pavilion to house a gym and a conference room.
The project, which started in 2020, was supported by the National Lotteries Authority, at an initial cost of $389,000 but due to vandalism and theft, additional work had to be done and more funds allocated.
Further upgrades of sporting facilities are scheduled for Central Leeward in Barrouallie and Buccament Bay. The Layou playing field will be managed by the Layou Sports and Culture Association.
Meanwhile, Minister of Public Service Consumer Affairs and Sports, Hon. Frederick Stephenson said the Government remains committed to upgrading and constructing sporting facilities across the country.
Speaking at the opening of the Layou Pavilion on Sunday, Minister Stephenson said facilities will soon be opened in Green Hill, Evesham and Lowmans Leeward.
The Minister added that a 2.3 million dollar upgrade of the Arnos Vale Sporting Complex is already underway, which would modernise and transform the complex.

Millions of drivers handed huge boost as poorest owners to get £3,000 to scrap old cars
The plan looks to help low-income household replace their ageing, polluting petrol and diesel vehicles with less polluting alternatives like purchasing bikes or bus passes.
Car drivers are 'whinging' says cycling activist Dave Sherry
Millions of households who currently own older, polluting diesel cars could be in a massive boost, as the Scottish Government is reportedly ready to offer financial incentives to replace the vehicles. In the programme published last week, the Scottish government announced it intends to test a mobility and scrappage scheme that would incentivise low-income households to travel sustainably by replacing their polluting vehicle.
The scheme will most likely benefit households that own ageing vehicles which no longer comply with the exhaust emissions standards set in low-emission zones in Scotland’s major cities.
This move to end the use of polluting cars as a part of the SNP-Green-led government's move to cut transport-related emissions by reducing traffic in Scotland by a fifth by the end of the decade.
The poorest car owners are expected to be handed grants worth up to £3,000 to replace their car with alternative forms of sustainable travel, including the purchase of bicycles or membership to a cycle-hire scheme or car-sharing club, as well as multi-trip bus and rail tickets.
Gavin Thomson, of Friends of the Earth Scotland, told Scotland on Sunday: “Transport is our biggest source of climate emissions and cars are the biggest chunk of that, so tackling the climate crisis has to mean reducing cars. For struggling families, a scheme like this could make a big difference.”
The scheme was also hailed by Colin Howden, of the environmental campaign group Transform Scotland.
However, Neil Greig, of IAM RoadSmart, which represents motorists, said: “A scheme with cheaper bus fares or free bikes might have some attraction in urban areas . . . [but] there is little point in giving someone a free bus pass if there are no services to get them to work early in the morning or late at night.”
A similar scheme was trialled in Coventry last year, as car owners in Coventry were offered £3,000 in travel vouchers to scrap polluting older vehicles, in a bid to convince drivers to embrace a car-free lifestyle.
The scheme would offer "mobility credits" to drivers who own polluting cars that are over ten years old. These credits could then be used to pay for buses, trains, taxis and hire cars for the next two years while the old car is crushed into scrap.

Transport for the West Midlands, which set up the project, hopes that it would reduce the congestion and improve Coventry's poor air quality by encouraging drivers to ditch their vehicles and walk, cycle and use public transport more.
Andy Street, the Mayor of the West Midlands, said: “The West Midlands is facing a climate emergency, and tackling that means reducing air pollution and finding ways to encourage people to cut out unnecessary private car journeys in favour of public transport or active travel such as cycling and walking. Our innovative mobility credits scheme helps do exactly that.”
The pilot project was backed by £1million in funding from the Government, which was enough to take 250 cars off the road.
Speaking to the i, Mr Street added this scheme would help design a public transport service that could compete with the benefits provided by a private car.

Mr Street noted the scheme would help in the design of public transport services that can compete with the private car.
He said: “The purpose is to learn, from those 250 people, what actually is necessary to change their behaviour. So that in planning public transport for the future, and encouraging more people to give up their polluting cars, we know what we need to do.
This scheme was part of a wide £22million research project funded by the Department for Transport, looking at future transport technologies and services.
The project is also supporting a two-year trial conducted by the University of Warwick that is testing whether transport options like e-scooters, a car club and a demand-responsive bus service could be used to replace car use in and around Warwick’s university campus.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The stress an air traveler felt the last 12 days subsided Monday afternoon when the suitcase containing a vital item finally arrived at her Austin home.
Emily Tuite described the days leading to this moment as “traumatic,” because the bright blue bag she checked for her Sept. 1 flight from Austin to San Diego had her waterproof prosthetic leg inside it. She planned to use the costly, custom medical device to do everything from swim in the Pacific Ocean to shower. However, the critical piece of luggage never made it to her final destination, which she said ruined her trip because of all the time she spent unsuccessfully trying to find it.
“It can take over a year to have a leg made. It’s not easy with insurance to have medical devices remade for you,” Tuite said. “I was like I need to do everything in my power to get the bag back somehow, so, yeah, I did a lot to get there.”
She turned to Nexstar’s KXAN Friday for help after exhausting other options. The hours spent calling customer service and talking to employees from Allegiant Airlines resulted in nothing. She said a representative at one point told her the bag never made it onto her Austin flight, even though she received a slip with the tracking number when she checked it at the counter. She assumed someone must have stolen the luggage.
However, a day after KXAN reached a media spokesperson and shared information about Tuite’s situation, she finally got a phone call that the airline found her bag. Somehow, Tuite’s suitcase had another traveler’s information placed on it, so it had been sitting in baggage claim all this time at the airport in Provo, Utah.
“So they were calling that person saying, ‘We have your bag,’ and that person was saying, ‘It’s not mine,'” Tuite said. “Meanwhile, I’m frantic, panicked, thinking that my items are gone, like just stolen from the airport, so I really learned a lesson for sure about flying and tracking your stuff.”
In a statement, Allegiant Airlines extended an apology to Tuite for the mishandling of her bag.
“Our system baggage team works around the clock to ensure customer issues are resolved,” an airline spokesperson said. “We gave Ms. Tuite a refund in the amount of $60, which covers her baggage fees. In addition, we kindly asked Ms. Tuite to submit receipts for compensation and processing.”
According to its statement, Allegiant said it will reimburse travelers with a mishandled bag for “reasonable non-excessive necessities,” like personal hygiene products and clothes.
Tuite said she found it disappointing the airline did not offer to cover the cost of her flight.
“My whole trip was spent on the phone trying to contact them,” Tuite said. “It’s frustrating to think that there’s no other compensation for losing someone’s medical device for 12 days.”
For future trips, she plans to buy some Apple AirTag devices to stick into her luggage, so she can keep track of the location herself. She also intends to carry on her waterproof prosthesis even though it’s heavy.
“As a disabled person, you don’t always want to be carrying your device with you the whole time. You would hope that you could check it,” Tuite said. “But hopefully, if I check it with an Apple AirTag in there, I’ll at least know where it is myself.”
She also suggests whenever other travelers decide to check a bag, they should now ask the airline attendant to see any tags placed on their luggage to make sure the correct information is listed, so no one goes through what she did these last few days.

Students rue errors as DU admission portal picks up data from CUET forms
Aspirants who had included Delhi University among their preferred universities at the time of applying for the common university entrance test (CUET) have started signing up on the common seat allocation system (CSAS), the new portal launched by the varsity on Monday to carry out admissions on the basis of CUET scores
Aspirants who had included Delhi University among their preferred universities at the time of applying for the common university entrance test (CUET) have started signing up on the common seat allocation system (CSAS), the new portal launched by the varsity on Monday to carry out admissions on the basis of CUET scores.
However, those students who had not included DU among their preferred institutions while filling up CUET forms are now in a quandary as the admissions portal is not allowing such students to even register.
Deepali, a government school student, said she was not allowed to register on the portal on Tuesday. “I had not opted for DU while applying for CUET; I was hoping I could that when the university opens its registration process. But, now, when I tried logging in, I got an error message that I had “not given the intent to apply to the university”. I will be contacting DU to figure a way out,” said Deepali, who goes only by her first name.
Many others who appeared for CUET but did not opt for the correct subject combination or furnished incorrect details in their CUET forms are also a worried lot as the CSAS is automatically picking up personal details from the CUET forms, leaving no scope for correction.
Students said they couldn’t opt for the correct subjection combination earlier owing to confusion or a lack of clarity. Many of them took to social media platforms such as Twitter on Tuesday to request the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducted CUET, to open a correction window. The testing agency last opened a correction window in August and there is no information if, or when, the window will be opened again.
NTA officials did not respond to queries seeking clarity on the correction window.
Dean (admissions), DU, Haneet Gandhi said personal details of a candidate cannot be modified on the CSAS portal as it picks up these details directly from the CUET portal. “Personal details such as name, photograph and signature submitted by the applicant during CUET (UG)-2022 will be automatically integrated into CSAS-2022. Students will not be able to edit these details,” said Gandhi, adding that details in other fields can be edited.
She said the university had stressed on the importance of opting for the correct subject combinations while filling CUET forms. “We had asked students to opt for subjects that they had studied in Class 12 while appearing for CUET,” said Gandhi.
On Day One of the registration process on Monday, Delhi University received around 18,000 registrations till 9pm. Many applicants are also waiting for CUET results, which is expected by September 15, before they register on the DU portal.
Anisha Srivastava, a DU aspirant, said she was yet to fill out the form but had logged on to the DU admission portal to get an idea about the process. “My friend and I were checking out the admission portal. However, it soon crashed and we were unable to access the website after that. We hope that the process is not too cumbersome,” said Srivastava, a student of ITL Public School, Dwarka.
Besides DU, Ambedkar University also launched its admission process on Monday. The university received over 800 applications till Tuesday afternoon, registrar Nitin Malik said.

Prescription drugs, a cheaper way to get high, a big draw on black market
In June, a chemist from Bandra reached his store earlier than usual and found a parcel containing bottles of cough syrup. Criminals order such medicines in the name of chemists and later sell them on the black market to those who cannot afford synthetic drugs like cocaine, heroin, mephedrone, or even street smack but want their daily fix somehow. The buyers then pose as representatives or employees of the medical store and receive the delivery.

Published: Sep. 13, 2022 at 2:51 PM EDT|Updated: 19 minutes ago
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A pro bull rider was killed in Utah overnight Monday in what Salt Lake City police are calling a domestic violence homicide.
Police say in a news release that Demetrius Omar Lateef Allen was found shot outside an apartment complex in Salt Lake City after he got into an argument with a woman he had been dating.
Allen died at a hospital. PBR commissioner Sean Gleason says Allen went by the name Ouncie Mitchell as a pro bull rider.
Police arrested LaShawn Denise Bagley, a 21-year-old woman, on suspicion of murder. It’s unknown if Bagley had an attorney.

Man kills wife before walking in front of semi to take his own life, police say
MADISON, Wis. (WISC) – Police said a man who took his own life by stepping in front of a tractor-trailer in Wisconsin Sunday was a suspect in his wife’s slaying earlier that day.
Chief Shon Barnes with the Madison Police Department said officers were called to a home where they found that the victim had been “violently, physically attacked.”
The attack had ended with one woman dead, but that was far from the end of the case.
Barnes on Monday laid out a wild and tragic series of events that ended with another death.
The events began around 3:15 p.m. Sunday when police received a call reporting someone was dead in a home. Police said the caller wasn’t on the scene.
The responding officers found a woman in her 40s dead inside the home.
As police tried to find the woman’s husband, another call came in just before 3:30 p.m. reporting that a man had left his car and gotten hit by another car.
Police said the man was able to get back into his own car and drive off.
The third and final call came just before 3:50 p.m. This time, the caller reported the same man had again gotten out of his vehicle before running into traffic, where he was hit and killed by a tractor-trailer.
Barnes said the man was identified as the husband of the dead woman. He also said officers had not been called to the home before.
Police still view what happened inside the home as something that should be addressed.
“Domestic violence continues to be an issue that plagues our community, even though it remains sometimes hidden,” Aureille Smith, director of policy planning and evacuation, said.
The couple’s identities have not yet been released. The incident is being investigated as a murder-suicide.

A member of the German legislature is openly warning that September 24th will be a day when everyone will remember “exactly where he or she was.” That feels a little like the 9/11 event, and needless to say, those days don’t come along very often.
As Michael Snyder, the writer for The End of the American Dream said: For those who were alive at the time, the death of John F. Kennedy was one of those days. Certainly, 9/11 was one of those days. But to be honest, there are not many of those days for those who currently reside on this planet.
The German parliament just said seems so odd…
“Everyone will not forget September 24, 2022 and everyone will know exactly where he or she was”
What will happen on September 24, 2022?! For those who are not good at German: Here it is said in the German parament “Everyone will not forget September 24, 2022 and everyone will know exactly where he or she was” pic.twitter.com/ow1fcA8VjX https://t.co/MbPdEgx4Pn

The video of this clip has been going viral on social media.
September 24, 2022! The German Legislature said that date will be remembered forever… I know a financial collapse is coming very soon. Is this the black swan event…. Be prepared! https://t.co/BKsv8OcJy9
— US Civil Defense (@USCivilDefense4) September 11, 2022
Unfortunately, no one knows if he’s trying to stoke fear, or if this is predictive programming, or if he just felt he needed to warn the political ruling class of Germany. If he wasn’t supposed to say this, could that mean this ominous event is pushed out? Or is he just trying to condition the public into accepting their enslavement as the planet wakes up to the real agenda?
It has been interestingly silent as far as big events and news lately.
We are moving into times when we will see catastrophic events happen that most people never even imagined were possible.
All of human history has been building up to a grand crescendo, and we get to be here for it.
Is this month going to be particularly significant? –Michael Snyder, The End of the American Dream
Considering this video is going viral, according to reports, it could just be a way to throw off the public, or make sure the public continues to “call their bluff.” Only time will tell if this will be something that will manifest.
Continue to use discernment. If you are being led to prepare, please do so. If you think this warning is nothing more than the rantings of a political parasite than take it with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, the warning is odd to say the least.

The West Kelowna Warriors are back in action as they get ready for the 2022-23 season.
After an outstanding 37-win season that came up short when they were ousted by the Penticton Vees in the Interior Conference finals, the Warriors saw a lot of turnover on their roster throughout the offseason.
14 members of the 2021-22 team committed to post-secondary school and their hockey programs for this fall, forcing the team to experience a great amount of roster turnover. Despite that, the Warriors put together a good offseason as they signed 10 new recruits and made various trades to bring in the players they wanted to fill the holes on the roster.
One of the most notable new members of the team is forward Luke Devlin, who put up 47 points (19 goals, 28 assists) in 44 games for the St Andrew’s College Saints (CAHS) in the Greater Toronto Area. Through the first two games of the preseason, the Memphis, TN born player has led the team with four points (two goals and two assists). He was also drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the sixth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
Devlin is also the son of Sportsnet broadcaster Matt Devlin, who is most notable for being the voice of the Toronto Raptors.
The Warriors also acquired forward Chris Duclair late in the offseason, who is the younger brother of Florida Panthers forward Anthony Duclair. He hasn’t recorded a point in the preseason.
Lots of local talent joined West Kelowna for the upcoming season as well including Kelowna’s Kailus Green and goaltender Cayden Hamming from Vernon.
If you like offence, the Warriors preseason has been for you. Through the first two games, they beat the Chilliwack Chiefs 9-7 but fell to the Vernon Vipers 5-2. The team has one last preseason game on Wednesday, Sept. 14 in Vernon.
While lots of fan favourites have advanced on their careers, the Warriors’ roster turnover brings in new faces for the fans to fall in love with.
The puck drops on the Warriors season on Friday, Sept. 23 in Cowichan Valley.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a two-year hiatus from virtual productions, the Café Mocha Network announced today that the 2022 Salute THEM Awards 'My HBCU joy' will return to an in-person celebration on Tuesday, October 18. Presented by Toyota Motor North America and AARP, the event will be held at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington, D.C. for an evening of celebration, interactive award recognition and musical performances.
The evening will bring together Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) enthusiasts to honor the rich history of the 102 HBCUs whose graduates are transforming the world as we know it today. Honorees includes:
- Civil rights icon and North Carolina A&T alumnus, the Rev. Jesse Jackson

- Journalist and host of the Cross Connection on MSNBC Tiffany Cross (Clark Atlanta University)
Renowned actor and activist Lamman Rucker ("Greenleaf") will co-host the awards with Café Mocha Radio hosts Angelique Perrin, YoYo and Loni Love saluting the evening honorees. The evening will begin with a special reception hosted by Toyota Motor North America in recognition of their support of the Century In The Making exhibit and AARP will highlight their work of the 'Divine 9' historically Greek-lettered organizations. Attendees will be invited to 'represent' their institutions' spirit with their attire.
"Amplifying the achievements of some of our brightest leaders is more than a celebration–it's a way to honor and inspire the next generation," said Alva Adams-Mason, Group Manager, Toyota Social Innovation.
Howard University alumna and Salute THEM Awards Creator/Executive Producer, Sheila Eldridge states "My HBCU Joy' is the only awards program that honors the contributions of HBCU graduates and reflects the unique experience of attending an HBCU, providing the love, the life lessons and relationships that last a lifetime."
AARP has maintained a long-standing partnership supporting the work of the Divine 9. Through sponsorships of national and local conferences and forums that educate on caregiving, savings and planning, and mental health, AARP celebrates their commitment to education, advocacy, philanthropy and service to the community.
"As part of our commitment to serve Black Americans age 50 and over and celebrate their lives as they age, AARP is excited to reunite with Café Mocha to salute incredible alumni and organizations who contribute to the rich legacies of HBCUs," said Shani Hosten, AARP Vice President, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
The 2022 Salute THEM Awards 'My HBCU Joy', presented by Toyota Motor North America and AARP, serves to support the Mocha Cares Foundation, which empowers women and children in local shelters through mentorship programs to combat homelessness and domestic violence.
From Cheyney University's distinction as America's first institution of higher learning, to the rebirth of Morris Brown College, there is no better time than now to 'salute' revered HBCU institutions and the graduates who continue to make a profound impact on the world. Now in its 12th year, the Salute THEM Awards 'My HBCU Joy' is a part of Café Mocha's annual 'Saluting Our Culture' award series that honors the full spectrum of the African American experience.

M6 to close overnight in Wigan between junctions 26 and 23 - this is why and when it will reopen
The M6 will be closed to southbound drivers for three nights while a 10-mile section of the motorway is upgraded to an ‘all-lane running’ smart motorway.
National Highways will be starting to install gantries between junctions 23 (Haydock Island) and 26 (Orrell Interchange) of the M6 this month (September 2022).
The new signs will “provide key information to motorists while travelling, keeping them safe and ensuring journeys run smoother”.
To safely carry out this work, the agency said they needed to close the M6 between junctions 23 and 26.
Most Popular
When will the overnight closures take place?
The overnight (9pm and 6am) closures will take place over two weeks.
The dates, locations and carriageway closures are the following:
- Tuesday, September 13 to Thursday, September 15: M6 northbound junctions 23 to 26 closed
- Tuesday, September 20 to Thursday, September 22: M6 southbound junctions 26 to 23 closed
National Highways said clearly signed diversion routes would be in place for each closure.
The agency warned nearby residents may notice more noise in the area than normal when the gantries are installed.
What have National Highways said?
“We’ll be making every effort to reduce the noise as much as possible and will be following industry best practice,” a spokesman said.
“Nonetheless, we’d like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
“We always aim to work to schedule. However, unforeseen circumstances such as poor weather may mean changes occur at short notice and this may change the dates above.”
“When the scheme is complete messages on the gantries will be operated from our Regional Operations Centre. Radar technology and cameras will be used to detect the speed, volume and flow of traffic. The information informs an optimum speed that is displayed on the signs, keeping traffic moving and reducing congestion.

On Sept. 12, one of the jurors in R. Kelly’s trial in Chicago suffered a panic attack during closing arguments according to TMZ.
U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber said, “I’ve been advised she said she can’t go on one minute more.”
During close arguments, prosecutors cited graphic videos of Kelly abusing his 14-year-old goddaughter, who testified under the pseudonym “Jane” in court.
Kelly is on trial in federal court in Chicago on charges of child pornography and instruction of justice. He is being tried alongside his former business manager, Derrel McDavid, and an associate, Milton “June” Brown, as they are both accused of conspiring with him to intimidate and bribe witnesses and to cover up evidence in a 2008 criminal trial on child pornography charges.
McDavid and Brown have been accused of trying to buy back incriminating sex tapes that had been taken from Kelly’s collection and to hide years of alleged sexual abuse of underage girls. Out of the three, only McDavid testified during the trial.
Jurors are expected to begin deliberating on Sept. 13 after Kelly’s attorney makes her closing arguments and prosecutors deliver a rebuttal.
Kelly is already serving a 30-year prison sentence after being found guilty on charges of federal racketeering and sex trafficking.

Succession and Ted Lasso topped the Emmy Awards on Monday, in a ceremony that touted the influence of TV and extended honors to global sensation Squid Game and winners who delivered messages of empowerment.
The evening’s uplifting tone, as voiced especially by Zendaya, Lizzo and Sheryl Lee Ralph, was in contrast to the darkness that pervaded the storytelling of best drama series winner Succession and even comedy series victor Ted Lasso.
“Thanks for making such a safe space to make this very difficult show,” said Zendaya, claiming her second best drama actress award for “Euphoria,” about a group of teens’ tough coming-of-age.
“My greatest wish for “Euphoria’ was that it could help heal people. Thank you for everyone who has shared your story with me. I carry them with me, and I carry them with” Rue, her character, Zendaya said.
Succession about a media empire run by a grasping and cutthroat family, split drama series honors with Squid Game, the bold South Korean-set drama about the idle rich turning the poor into entertainment fodder.
Lee Jung-jae of “Squid Game,” who played the show’s moral center, became the first Asian to win the Emmy for best drama series actor.
“Thank you for making realistic problems we all face come to life so creatively on the screen,” Lee said to Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, who earned the Emmy for best drama series directing. In Korean, Lee thanked the audience in his native country for watching.
Backstage, Hwang said this was “a major moment for us,” and Lee said he expected the awards to open doors for other Asian actors.
Jason Sudeikis and Jean Smart collected back-to-back acting trophies, but several new Emmy winners were minted, with Lizzo and Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph of Abbott Elementary collecting trophies.
Brunson, who created and stars in the freshman series, won the Emmy for comedy series writing. ABC’s Abbott Elementary, also nominated for best comedy, is a rare bright spot for network broadcasting in the age of streaming and cable dominance.
Sudeikis won his second consecutive trophy for playing the unlikely U.S. coach of a British soccer team in the comedy Ted Lasso, with Smart matching that haul for her role as a veteran comedian in “Hacks.”
Sudeikis gave a rare awards show shoutout to TV consumers: “Thanks to the people who watch this show and dig it as much as we dig making it.”
There was a ripple of reaction in the theater when “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong mentioned Britain’s new king, Charles III, in accepting the show’s trophy, the cast standing alongside him.
“Big week for successions, new king in the U.K., this for us. Evidently a little bit more voting involved in our winning than Prince Charles,” Armstrong said. “I’m not saying we’re more legitimate in our position than he is. We’ll leave that up to other people.”
Ralph stopped the Emmy Awards show by accepting the best supporting actress comedy award for “Abbott Elementary” with a brief but rousing song of affirmation.
“I am an endangered species, but I sing no victim song. I am a woman, I am an artist and I know where my voice belongs,” she belted out. She then encouraged anyone doubting their dream “I am here to tell you this is what believing looks like.”
The audience, including Lizzo and many of television’s biggest stars, leapt to their feet to cheer on Ralph.
When Lizzo herself accepted the award for best-competition series trophy for “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” she offered another emotional pep talk.
“When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me,” the music artist said.
There were also cheers for presenter Selma Blair, who has discussed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis publicly and who used a cane on stage.
“Ted Lasso” co-star Brett Goldstein, won comedy supporting actors, while Matthew Macfadyen of “Succession” and Julia Garner of “Ozark” earned drama series supporting actor honors.
“It’s such a a pleasure and privilege for me to play this bonkers gift of a role in this wonderful show,” Macfadyen said in accepting the trophy for his role as a scheming member of a media empire family.
Garner was among the winners who took advantage of covering all bases by thanking her husband and others in an on-screen message.
“The White Lotus” collected several honors, including best limited or anthology series.
The achievements of “Squid Game,” “Abbott Elementary” and a few other shows didn’t change the relative lack of diversity in this year’s nominations, which included significantly fewer people of color than in 2021.
Host Kenan Thompson kicked off the Emmys with a tribute to TV, dismissing Tik-Tok as “tiny vertical television,” and a musical number saluting series’ theme songs from “Friends” to “The Brady Bunch” to “Game of Thrones.”
Once the music stopped, Thompson provided a mic drop moment — announcing Oprah Winfrey as the first presenter. Winfrey strutted onto the stage holding an Emmy statuette, declaring the night “a party!” The night’s first award went to Michael Keaton for his role in “Dopesick.” Winfrey and Keaton hugged before she handed him his trophy.
“It means something,” Keaton said of the award for playing a caring doctor ensnared with his patients by addiction. He went on to recall the “magic” of being introduced to TV when his dad won a set at a raffle and thanked his parents for not mocking his youthful attempts at acting.
Amanda Seyfried earned the limited-series lead actress trophy for “The Dropout,” in which she played ill-fated Silicon Valley whiz kid Elizabeth Holmes. She thanked a list of family and colleagues and even her dog, Finn.
Murray Bartlett won the best supporting actor award for “The White Lotus,” a tragicomedy set in a Hawaii resort. Jennifer Coolidge, who won best supporting actress honors for the show, delighted the audience by shimmying to the music intended to cut off her acceptance speech.
The award for best variety talk show went to “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” with stand-up special “Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel” winning for best writing for a comedy special.
“Good night, everybody. I’ma go home. I’m not like a sore winner, but I’m going to go home because I can’t top this right now,” an overcome Carmichael told the audience.
Glamour was back with some metallic sparkle and lots of bright color as an otherworldly Britt Lower, Old Hollywood Elle Fanning and their fellow stars posed for photographers.

Phil Collins, the legendary Genesis frontman, is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the music industry. Ranging from Kanye West to Beyoncé, Collins has inspired multiple generations of young musicians and has left an indelible mark on the landscape of modern music.
Over the years, several times, Collins has been asked about his musical influences. Critics and fans have regularly cited him as one of the greatest progressive rock drummers of all time, and even the late Taylor Hawkins also considered Collins to be a major source of inspiration. As for Collins’ influences, he only admires a handful of drummers.
Among them, he named the Beatles’ Ringo Starr, whom he called “underrated”. Collins explained: “Well, I think he’s vastly underrated, Ringo. The drum fills in ‘A Day In The Life’ were in fact very, very complex things. You could take a great drummer from today and say ‘I Want It like that,’ and they wouldn’t know what to do.”
Although he respected Ringo, Collins did not feel the same way about Paul McCartney. Of McCartney, the drummer said: “He has this thing when he’s talking to you, where he makes you feel [like], ‘I know this must be hard for you because I’m a Beatle. I’m Paul McCartney and it must be very hard for you to actually be holding a conversation with me.'”
Despite his differences with McCartney, Collins was a hardcore Beatles fan. When he was asked to name his eight favourite songs of all time by the BBC during their Desert Island Discs segment, he mentioned artists such as Aretha Franklin, Paul Brady and Tim Hardin. The Beatles were the only band with two separate songs on his list.
“Well, no collection would be complete without one or two Beatles records. I mean, The Beatles were the reason I’m in this business,” Collins declared. He named ‘All My Loving’ and ‘If I Fell’ among his all-time favourites, citing them as his favourite songs by the Beatles. According to him, their music inspired him to focus on his own journey.
While commenting on their impact, Collins added: “Really although I’ve been playing the drums since I was five, it was The Beatles that suddenly gave a purpose and this I think sums up that early-mid 1960’s feeling from me when I was in school, really loving it.”

Neon has acquired the North American rights to the thriller “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” out of the Toronto International Film Festival, where it world premiered in the auteur-driven Platform section.
Based on Andreas Malm’s manifesto tackling the climate crisis, the film is directed by Daniel Goldhaber (“CAM”); produced, co-written and stars Ariela Barer (“Runaways”, “Atypical”); co-written by Jordan Sjol and edited by Daniel Garber (“CAM,” “Some Kind of Heaven”).
“How to Blow Up a Pipeline” follows a group of young environmental activists who set out to sabotage an oil pipeline in a timely thriller that’s described as “part high-stakes heist, part radical exploration of direct action as climate activism.”
The film features an all-star ensemble cast including Ariela Barer, Kristine Froseth, Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner, Jake Weary, Irene Bedard and Olive Jane Lorraine.
Neon is planning a theatrical release.
The deal is one of the first out of Toronto, where the market has moved at glacial pace. Magnolia Pictures on Monday acquired British period pic “Blue Jean,” but that film premiered in Venice. The main deal so far has been Focus Features’ $30 million worldwide deal for Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers.”
In a joint statement, Goldhaber, Barer, Sjol and Garber said: “When we started working on this movie, Neon was a dream distribution partner. They’ve done such incredible work supporting movies that are on the cutting edge of cinema and are constantly thinking of new, out-of-the-box ways to connect audiences and films. We are so lucky to have found a partner that has so passionately engaged with this project, and we could not be more thrilled to be collaborating with them to bring ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’ to theaters across America.”
“How to Blow Up a Pipeline” was written, cast, financed and prepped in just seven months with Lyrical Media and Spacemaker financing.
The film was produced by Isa Mazzei, Daniel Goldhaber, Ariela Barer, David Grove Churchill Viste and Adam Wyatt Tate with production company Chrono. Alex Black and Alex Hughes also serve as producers and Danielle Mandel as co-producer. Jon Rosenberg, Riccardo Maddalosso, Sasha Lane, Forrest Goodluck, Jordan Sjol, Natalie Sellers, Eugene Kotlyarenko serve as executive producers.
The deal for the film was negotiated by Jeff Deutchman and Mason Speta for Neon with CAA Media Finance on behalf of the filmmakers.

Ukraine piles pressure on retreating Russian troops September 13, 2022 A Ukrainian soldier smiles from a military vehicle on the road in the freed territory in the Kharkiv region, Sept. 12, 2022. (AP/Kostiantyn Liberov)(AP/Kostiantyn Liberov)Ukraine piles pressure on retreating Russian troops Tweet WhatsApp Email https://worldisraelnews.com/ukraine-piles-pressure-on-retreating-russian-troops/ Email Print Ukrainian authorities moved into several liberated areas to investigate alleged atrocities against civilians by Russian troops. By Associated Press Ukrainian troops piled pressure on retreating Russian forces Tuesday, pressing a counteroffensive that has produced major gains and a stunning blow to Moscow’s military prestige. As the advance continued, Ukraine’s border guard services said the army took control of Vovchansk — a town just 3 kilometers (2 miles) from Russia seized on the first day of the war. Russia acknowledged that it has withdrawn troops from areas in the northeastern region of Kharkiv in recent days. It was not yet clear if the Ukrainian blitz, which unfolded after months of little discernible movement, could signal a turning point in the nearly seven-month war. But the country’s officials were buoyant, releasing footage showing their forces burning Russian flags and inspecting abandoned, charred tanks. In one video, border guards tore down a poster that read, “We are one people with Russia.” Momentum has switched back and forth before, and Ukraine’s American allies were careful not to declare a premature victory since Russian President Vladimir Putin still has troops and resources to tap. In the face of Russia’s largest defeat since its botched attempt to capture Kyiv early in the war, Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said troops were hitting back with “massive strikes” in all sectors. But there were no immediate reports of a sudden uptick in Russian attacks. Late Monday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said his troops had so far retaken more than 6,000 square kilometers (2,300 square miles) — an area more than twice the size of Luxembourg — in a matter of weeks. “The movement of our troops continues,” he said. Reports of chaos abounded as Russian troops pulled out — as well as claims that they were surrendering en masse. The claims could not be immediately verified. Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar said Kyiv is trying to persuade even more Russian soldiers to give up, launching shells filled with flyers ahead of their advance. “Russians use you as cannon fodder. Your life doesn’t mean anything for them. You don’t need this war. Surrender to Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the flyers read. While dozens of towns and villages were liberated, authorities moved into several areas to investigate alleged atrocities against civilians by Russian troops. The Kharkiv regional prosecutor’s office said four bodies bearing signs of torture were found in the village of Zaliznychne. It’s not clear how many other places investigators have entered. Oleksandr Shtupun, a spokesman for the Ukrainian military’s general staff, accused Russian forces of committing hundreds of war crimes in territory they once held. He said the danger of minefields in liberated towns and villages remained high, and ammunition and high explosives have been strewn across 70,000 square kilometers (27,000 square miles). “The defense forces are taking measures to return peaceful life to the liberated communities as soon as possible,” he said. In one indication of the blow sustained by Moscow, British intelligence said that one premier force, the 1st Guards Tank Army, had been “severely degraded” during the invasion and that conventional Russian forces designed to counter NATO have been badly weakened. “It will likely take years for Russia to rebuild this capability,” the analysts said. The retreat didn’t stop Russia from pounding Ukrainian positions. Early Tuesday, it shelled the city of Lozova in the Kharkiv region, killing three people and injuring nine, said regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov. And Ukrainian officials said Russia kept up shelling around Europe’s largest nuclear facility, where fighting has raised fears of a nuclear disaster. The Nikopol area, which is across the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, was shelled six times during the night but no injuries were immediately reported, said regional Gov. Valentyn Reznichenko. Strikes have also continued unabated on the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest and one that has been hammered by artillery for months. Zelensky specifically criticized Russia for targeting energy infrastructure in its attacks over the past days. “Hundreds and thousands of Ukrainians found themselves in the dark — without electricity. Houses, hospitals, schools, communal infrastructure … sites that have absolutely nothing to do with the infrastructure of the armed forces of our country.” He said the strikes could only point to one thing. “This is a sign of the desperation of those who contrived this war. This is how they react to the defeat of Russian forces in the Kharkiv region. They can’t do anything to our heroes on the battlefield.” Among Kharkiv’s battle-scarred apartment buildings, one man who returned to feed the birds struck a defiant tone, saying that the success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive would likely prompt harsh Russian retaliation against civilian targets. But he said it would not succeed in intimidating ordinary Ukrainians. Putin “does not know what to do, and he will strike here even more. Just on infrastructure,” said Serhii who only gave his first name. “He will strike so we don’t have water, electricity, to create more chaos and intimidate us. But he will not succeed because we will survive, and Putin will soon croak!” The counteroffensive has provoked rare public criticism of Putin’s war. Meanwhile, some of its defenders in Russia played down the idea that the success belonged to Ukraine, blaming instead Western weapons and fighters for the losses. “It’s not Ukraine that attacked Izium, but NATO,” read a headline in the state-supported Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, referring to one of the areas where Russia said it has withdrawn troops. Elsewhere, residents of a Russian village just across the border from Ukraine were evacuated after shelling by Ukrainian troops killed one person, according to Russia’s Tass news agency. The report cited the head of the local administration in Logachevka, who said Ukrainian troops opened fire at a border checkpoint. RussiaRussia UkraineUkraine

A fungal disease that attacks while bats are hibernating has brought the tricolored bat to the brink of extinction. Now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is recommending that the tricolored bat be added to the list of endangered species in an effort to protect them.
Tricolored bats live in 39 states east of the Rocky Mountains, as well as parts of Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Nicaragua.
But white-nose syndrome — caused by a fungus that develops on cave-dwelling bats during hibernation — is decimating the bat's population in North America at "unprecedented rates," Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams said in a news release.
One of the smallest native species in North America, the tricolored bats spend the majority of the year in forest habitats. However, when winter rolls around, they seek shelter in caves and mines to hibernate, which is when they are susceptible to disease, the FWP says.
The fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, can resemble white fuzz on a bat's wings and snout, attacking bare skin while the animal is hibernating. According to the FWP White-nose Syndrome Response Team, the fungus causes the bats to become more active when they should be hibernating, burning off the little energy they have to survive the winter.
White-nose syndrome has killed off millions of bats across the continent, the FWP said, wiping out 90% to 100% of colonies in some sites. Scientists still don't know where the fungus came from, but it has been found in 12 of the 47 species living in North America, including two currently protected by the Endangered Species Act.
The disease is also ravaging the northern long-eared bat population, which FWP recommended reclassifying from threatened to endangered last March. The FWP says bats are critical to the healthy functioning of an ecosystem, and that they contribute at least $3 billion in pest control and pollination every year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the eve of her first day in Congress, Mary Peltola stood outside what was once the office of the late Alaska Rep. Don Young, swarmed by the local and national press, and marveled at the moment.
“I really hope that Don is getting a kick out of this,” Peltola told The Associated Press in an interview Monday. “I can’t help but think that some things broke my way on account of his great sense of humor.”
The kicker is that 50 years ago, right before Peltola was born, her parents worked on Young’s first campaign for the only congressional seat in Alaska. Young won and went on to hold it for 49 years before his death in March.
Last month, on her 49th birthday, Peltola, a Democrat, won the special election to finish out Young’s term, besting a field of candidates that included Republican Sarah Palin, who was seeking a political comeback in the state where she was governor.
On Tuesday night, Peltola, who is Yup’ik, will make her own history when she is sworn in as the first Alaska Native in Congress and the first woman to hold the seat. She previously was a state lawmaker for 10 years representing the rural hub community of Bethel, Alaska.
“To have a seat at the table is different,” Peltola said. “But I am just always reminding people that I’m not here to represent just the 16% of Alaskans who are Alaska Natives. I’m here to represent all Alaskans.”
Two other new members also will be sworn in to office Tuesday evening: Democrat Pat Ryan and Republican Joe Sempolinski of New York.
Peltola’s campaign has emphasized her dedication to “fish, family and freedom.” Fish are a staple in Alaskan life, and salmon holds particular cultural significance to Alaska Natives. A subsistence lifestyle — relying on fish, wildlife and berries — is essential in rural Alaska, including in many Native communities, where goods must be flown or barged in and costs for basic necessities can be exorbitant.
Peltola said she sees her few weeks in office as an homage to Young’s service as a more moderate force in an increasingly polarized Congress. Like the often gruff Young, Peltola said she is bringing a sense of humor to the job, along with a history of being a consensus-builder with even the most conservative of colleagues.
After Palin came in second to Peltola in the special election last month, the two women shared a cordial back-and-forth. In a text message, Palin congratulated her and wrote that she was a “real Alaskan chick! Beautiful & smart and tough.”
Peltola replied, “Your text means the world to me … We really are in this together.”
The newly elected congresswoman’s time in the Alaska Legislature overlapped with Palin’s time as governor, and the women have remained cordial. Peltola has said that one of the most “unsavory” parts of American politics is negative campaigning.
But staying above the fray could prove difficult. Peltola is on the ballot in November to serve a full two-year term, again facing off against Palin, Republican Nick Begich and Libertarian Chris Bye, all of whom advanced from last month’s open primary.
That’s partly why Peltola said she doesn’t plan to get too comfortable in her new office, which Young, a Republican, adorned with the heads of bucks and bears and large rifles in a nod to his love of hunting. Now those walls are bare.
“It didn’t make sense to really become too entrenched, or decorate, or set up shop,” Peltola said. “I really just feel like I’m camping here until the term is over. And then being open and seeing what happens next.”

Tottenham Hotspur were defeated 2-0 by Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, September 13.
Sporting came into this game having won their opening fixture of the competition comfortably. They beat defending Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in Germany. Ruben Amorim's men have scored nine goals without reply in their last three games as they looked determined to earn a result at home.
Spurs entered this contest having secured a late victory over Marseille in their last game. However, due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, their game against Manchester City was postponed this past weekend. Antonio Conte fielded his strongest XI as he looked to make it two wins from two games.
The visitors started the game on the front foot as the superior quality of their players shone through. They created most of the early chances of the game but were not as clinical in front of goal as they would have liked. Tottenham attempted five shots out of which just two were on target in the first half.
Sporting soon started playing a confident brand of football as their fans sang in loud choruses to get behind them. Marcus Edwards had their best chances as he blazed a shot over the crossbar. Just before halftime, he was handed another chance, but Hugo Lloris made a smart save to deny him.
Richarlison and Harry Kane had decent chances, with the former having the best of the half for Tottenham. However, they were caught offside multiple times as neither side managed to get on the scoreboard. Despite several opportunities, the teams went into the break deadlocked at 0-0.
Sporting came out for the second period with greater determination and drive as they looked to knock Tottenham back. They played with a bit more patience and aggression when needed, trying to thwart Spurs' advances. Francisco Trincao looked threatening on the right flank as he used his pace and trickery to get past the visitors' defenders.
An extra physical dimension was added to the game as both Tottenham and Sporting players put their bodies on the line. Several hard tackles flew in from either side as the referee did well not to brandish too many bookings. Both Amorim and Conte made a few changes as they looked to freshen things up on the pitch. However, only the former reaped the benefits.
Substitute Paulinho scored the winner late in the game for the hosts, following a corner routine. Pedro Goncalves provided the assist with a perfect delivery as they hosts led after 90 minutes. They scored again, this time through another substitute, Arthur Gomes. It sealed the win for the hosts.
That said, let's take a look at how Spurs' players fared in the game.
Tottenham Player Ratings
Hugo Lloris - 7.5/10

Ben Davies - 6.5/10

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 7/10

Richarlison - 6.5/10
Richarlison looked good on the ball but failed to convert a big chance early in the game. He attempted four shots, with just one on target. He played two key passes and won four of his 11 duels.
Heung-min Son - 6/10
Son continued his low phase as he failed to make a significant impact for Tottenham. He failed to attempt a single shot and did not even play a single accurate cross or long ball. He won seven of his 12 duels and made one key pass.
Harry Kane - 6.5/10
Kane had a slow start in front of goal as Tottenham were unable to capitalize on their chances. He attempted two shots of which one was on target and the other was blocked. Kane passed the ball with 66% accuracy, including two key passes, one cross and three long balls.
Substitutes
Dejan Kulusevski - 6.5/10

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday announced a national debate on end-of-life options that will include exploring the possibility of legalizing assisted suicide.
A 2016 French law provides that doctors can keep terminally ill patients sedated before death but stops short of allowing assisted suicide.
Macron said in a written statement that a panel of citizens would work on the issue in coordination with health care workers over the coming months, while local debates are organized in French regions.
The government plans to hold parallel discussions with lawmakers from all political parties to find the broadest consensus, with the aim of implementing changes next year, the president’s statement said.
Some French patients travel to other European countries to seek further end-of-life options. While campaigning for his successful reelection this year, Macron promised to open the debate in France, suggesting he was personally in favor of legalizing physician-assisted suicide.
Assisted suicide, which involves patients self-administering a lethal dose of drugs, is allowed in Switzerland. Euthanasia, a process in which a medical professional directly gives the drugs, is currently legal in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Spain under certain conditions. .
Macron’s announcement came the day the family of French director Jean-Luc Godard said he died by assisted suicide at his home in the Swiss town of Rolle.
French polls in recent years steadily showed a broad majority of people are in favor of legalizing euthanasia.
The current law allows patients to request “deep, continuous sedation altering consciousness until death” but only when their conditions are likely to lead to a quick death.
Doctors are allowed to stop life-sustaining treatments, including artificial hydration and nutrition. Sedation and painkillers are allowed “even if they may shorten the person’s life.”

Man kills wife before walking in front of semi to take his own life, police say
MADISON, Wis. (WISC) – Police said a man who took his own life by stepping in front of a tractor-trailer in Wisconsin Sunday was a suspect in his wife’s slaying earlier that day.
Chief Shon Barnes with the Madison Police Department said officers were called to a home where they found that the victim had been “violently, physically attacked.”
The attack had ended with one woman dead, but that was far from the end of the case.
Barnes on Monday laid out a wild and tragic series of events that ended with another death.
The events began around 3:15 p.m. Sunday when police received a call reporting someone was dead in a home. Police said the caller wasn’t on the scene.
The responding officers found a woman in her 40s dead inside the home.
As police tried to find the woman’s husband, another call came in just before 3:30 p.m. reporting that a man had left his car and gotten hit by another car.
Police said the man was able to get back into his own car and drive off.
The third and final call came just before 3:50 p.m. This time, the caller reported the same man had again gotten out of his vehicle before running into traffic, where he was hit and killed by a tractor-trailer.
Barnes said the man was identified as the husband of the dead woman. He also said officers had not been called to the home before.
Police still view what happened inside the home as something that should be addressed.
“Domestic violence continues to be an issue that plagues our community, even though it remains sometimes hidden,” Aureille Smith, director of policy planning and evacuation, said.
The couple’s identities have not yet been released. The incident is being investigated as a murder-suicide.

The Rams placed Williams (ankle) on their injured reserve list Tuesday.
Williams suffered a high-ankle sprain Thursday versus Buffalo and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. The move to the injured reserve list means he'll certainly miss at least the next four games. In his absence, Jake Funk could be in line for a few spare snaps at running back, and Brandon Powell will continue to operate as the Rams' primary kick returner.

Meghan Markle’s controversial podcast, Fallon appearance put on hold
Meghan Markle was booked to go on Jimmy Fallon’s show as part of her latest PR salvo — but will now be preparing for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, sources told Page Six.
The Duchess of Sussex was booked on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” for Tuesday, Sept. 20, as she and husband Prince Harry were due to be in New York City for the 77th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 77).
“Meghan was due on Fallon,” a source told Page Six. “I don’t even know what she was going to talk about, but that’s obviously canceled now.”
The next episode of Markle’s “Archetypes” podcast on Spotify, due to stream Tuesday, is also set to be pushed back, we’re told.
On Friday, Markle was waiting to be reunited with Harry at their Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage. He was the first royal to leave Balmoral, the Queen’s Scottish estate, on Friday morning, following the monarch’s death at age 96 on Thursday.
Page Six is told the couple is expected to remain in the UK until the monarch’s state funeral, widely believed to be scheduled for Monday, Sept. 19. It is not yet known if their children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, will be brought over from California.
Despite Markle’s claims that the royal family had never wanted to give her children royal titles, the children, in fact, could be known as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet now that Harry has moved up in the line of accession.
King Charles III, Harry’s father, expressed in his first public address on Friday that “I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
Markle’s planned TV appearance would have come just weeks after her bombshell interview with The Cut, in which she said she was happy to have quit Britain.
As for the tensions within the royal family, she said, “I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive. But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I’ve really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything.”
The Sussexes were, by a twist of fate, in the UK at the time of the Queen’s passing.
They were in Manchester on Monday for the One Young World summit, where Markle made a speech, followed by a trip Tuesday to Dusseldorf in Germany, where they promoted the Invictus Games, Harry’s beloved competition for wounded veterans.
When news broke on Thursday that members of the royal family were dashing up to Scotland to be by the Queen’s bedside, the Sussexes were in Windsor. Page Six was originally told Markle would be joining Harry.
This was quickly changed to Harry traveling solo. A palace insider told Page Six that “ tensions were so high ” that Meghan could not have gone, hinting at “behind-the-scenes drama.”
The Queen’s death was confirmed by the royal family at 6:30 p.m. UK time Thursday, Sept. 8, with Buckingham Palace saying she died “peacefully.”

Per popular vote, the Cleveland Browns are bringing back "Brownie the Elf" as a field design at the 50-yard line for the 2022 NFL season. This will be the first time the Browns have a midfield logo at FirstEnergy Stadium since 2016.
The decision to use the throwback logo was made by fans through a poll the organization started in July.
"We're super excited about the new midfield logo," said JW Johnson, Browns Executive Vice President and Partner in a statement. "We really wanted to engage our fans in the process, and they are — as I've said multiple times — undefeated. They're the best in the league, best in the NFL and, candidly, some of the best in sports. We really wanted to get their involvement and hear what they have to say. We were able to pull off the new logo with the old school Brownie logo."
the people have spoken 🏟 pic.twitter.com/TYOBd59So8
— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) September 13, 2022
Brownies come from Scottish folklore. They are elf-like creatures who help with various chores in exchange for treats such as porridge or honey. Brownie the Elf's connection with the football team dates back to the 1940s when founder Arthur McBride selected it as the face of the Browns in an attempt to make the franchise more recognizable and marketable. There were many variations of it throughout the years and was well loved by fans -- but not Art Modell.
Modell became the Browns' owner in 1961 and eventually got rid of Brownie. It's not surprising that one of the least favorite owners in Browns' history would get rid of the beloved logo, as he was also the man who moved the team to Baltimore in the 1990s. Randy Lerner purchased the team rights in 1999 and brought the elf back to life.
Brownie hasn't been featured as much recently, but Johnson wanted to change that.
"We love the helmet logo, but Brownie has been around for a long time," Johnson said. "I think people enjoy him, and we haven't really showcased him as much as we'd like to. Between myself and (Browns Senior Vice President of Marketing & Media) Brent Rossi, we decided that we should bring him back. It's been well-received."
The Browns opened the 2022 season with a 26-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers on the road. The field design is all set for their home opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 18.

A fungal disease that attacks while bats are hibernating has brought the tricolored bat to the brink of extinction. Now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is recommending that the tricolored bat be added to the list of endangered species in an effort to protect them.
Tricolored bats live in 39 states east of the Rocky Mountains, as well as parts of Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Nicaragua.
But white-nose syndrome — caused by a fungus that develops on cave-dwelling bats during hibernation — is decimating the bat's population in North America at "unprecedented rates," Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams said in a news release.
One of the smallest native species in North America, the tricolored bats spend the majority of the year in forest habitats. However, when winter rolls around, they seek shelter in caves and mines to hibernate, which is when they are susceptible to disease, the FWP says.
The fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, can resemble white fuzz on a bat's wings and snout, attacking bare skin while the animal is hibernating. According to the FWP White-nose Syndrome Response Team, the fungus causes the bats to become more active when they should be hibernating, burning off the little energy they have to survive the winter.
White-nose syndrome has killed off millions of bats across the continent, the FWP said, wiping out 90% to 100% of colonies in some sites. Scientists still don't know where the fungus came from, but it has been found in 12 of the 47 species living in North America, including two currently protected by the Endangered Species Act.
The disease is also ravaging the northern long-eared bat population, which FWP recommended reclassifying from threatened to endangered last March. The FWP says bats are critical to the healthy functioning of an ecosystem, and that they contribute at least $3 billion in pest control and pollination every year.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court is leaving to become president of an international provider of dispute-resolution services.
Bridget McCormack's hiring was announced Tuesday by the American Arbitration Association-International Centre for Dispute Resolution, a day after she said she would resign from the court later this year.
Kimberly Wiehl, leader of the group's governing board, said the organization was looking for someone who has “outstanding business acumen” and is committed to expanding access to resolving disputes outside court.
“At a time when so much is changing in the legal profession, the AAA-IDCR’s mission and vision are more important than ever,” McCormack said in a written statement.
She will become president and chief executive in February.
McCormack, 56, has been on the state Supreme Court for nearly 10 years, including four as chief justice.

WASHINGTON D.C. — The U.S. Senate voted on September 12 to confirm the nomination of Judge Salvador Mendoza Jr. to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, reaching a 46-40 decision.
The Yakima Valley native will be the first Hispanic judge from Washington to serve on the Court.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is headquartered in San Francisco and serves nine western states.
“He has been an outstanding judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington where he has served since 2014…” said Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) on the Senate floor before the vote. “I know Judge Mendoza will make an excellent addition to the Ninth Circuit.”
Mendoza was recommended by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to the Biden administration as a replacement for Judge Margaret McKeown. His nomination by President Biden led to the Senate consideration.
“Judge Mendoza has been a trailblazer, focused on building a more fair and just legal system that works for everyone—not just the wealthy and well-off…” said Senator Murray. “Beyond just his impeccable professional qualifications, Judge Mendoza will bring an important perspective to one of the most consequential appellate courts in this country: the perspective of someone whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico and worked as farm laborers, maids, and factory workers to build a better life for their family.”
Judge Mendoza grew up in the Yakima Valley, raised by immigrants. He would work with them in the fields in the mornings before school. Mendoza graduated from Prosser High School in 1990, got his Bachelor’s at the University of Washington, then his law degree from the University of California - Los Angeles.
He received the Martin Luther King Jr. Spirit Award from Columbia Basin College in 2016.
Judge Mendoza has served as a Judge Pro Tem in Benton and Franklin counties. In 2013, Governor Jay Inslee appointed Mendoza to the Superior Court for Benton and Franklin Counties. The next year, he moved up to a U.S. District Court judge for the Eastern District of Washington, making him the first Hispanic federal judge in Eastern Washington.
“I have no doubt—and based on his record I think there can be no doubt—that serving on the Ninth Circuit, Judge Mendoza will carefully review each case as an appellate judge, respect every party that appears before him, and protect the rights of the American people,” said Senator Murray.
