(NEXSTAR) – Some taxpayers are going to see a boost to their bank accounts soon – the IRS has announced that it will be refunding $1.2 billion in tax filing penalties.
Nearly 1.6 million people will automatically get a refund after filing certain 2019 or 2020 returns late, according to the IRS.
Others, however, will have to act quickly in order to take advantage of the program. In order to qualify, you have to file an eligible income tax return on or by Sept 30, 2022.
The refund goes to offset the failure to file penalty, which the IRS says is assessed at 5% per month, up to 25% of the unpaid tax when a federal income tax return is filed.
Who is eligible?
Americans who filed forms in both the 1040 and 1120 series, or a form listed in this news release, are eligible as long as they file their late 2019 or 2020 return by the September deadline.
Along with individuals, the IRS is also offering relief to banks, employers and other businesses that filed information returns such as those in the 1099 series. In those cases, eligible 2019 returns will have to have been filed by Aug. 1, 2020, and 2020 returns by Aug. 1, 2021.
Taxpayers who filed a variety of international returns, such as those reporting transactions with foreign trusts, the receipt of foreign gifts or ownership interests in foreign corporations are also included in the full guidelines from the IRS. Qualifying international forms must also be filed on or before September 30, 2022.
People who have already paid the penalty will get a refund, while those who have been fined but haven’t yet paid will see their fine dismissed.
When will the refund come?
For the nearly 1.6 million people who already paid the penalty and will be automatically reimbursed, the IRS says they will be issuing refunds by the end of September.
Some people will be disqualified, however, and will not see a payment – fraudulent returns, penalties levied as part of a compromise or closing argument and court-ordered penalties are all exempt.
“Penalty relief is a complex issue for the IRS to administer,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “We’ve been working on this initiative for months following concerns we’ve heard from taxpayers, the tax community and others, including Congress. This is another major step to help taxpayers, and we encourage those affected by this to review the guidelines.”
Other penalties, such as failure to pay a penalty, won’t be refunded. You can see the full list here.
Why is the IRS doing this?
The IRS says the $1.2 billion in refunds goes to helping “struggling taxpayers” who were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Throughout the pandemic, the IRS has worked hard to support the nation and provide relief to people in many different ways,” said Rettig. “The penalty relief issued today is yet another way the agency is supporting people during this unprecedented time. This penalty relief will be automatic for people or businesses who qualify; there’s no need to call.”
The IRS also stated that the massive relief measure will help the tax collection agency “focus its resources on processing backlogged tax returns and taxpayer correspondence to help return to normal operations for the 2023 filing season.”

MADDOCK, N.D. (AP) — A woman walked into a North Dakota bar carrying a raccoon, leading health officials to warn those who had contact with the animal about possible rabies exposure.
Bartender Cindy Smith said she was serving drinks at the Maddock Bar last week when a local resident brought in the animal during happy hour. There were about 10 people in the saloon at the time, she said.
Smith said she immediately asked the woman to leave but instead she took the raccoon around the bar to show another customer. The woman eventually departed with the animal after about five minutes.
“We finally got her out with it, and that’s all that happened,” Smith told The Bismarck Tribune. “It never left her arms one time, and there was absolutely no biting.”
Maddock is town of about 500 people located about 85 miles (137 kilometers) from the Canadian border.
Rabies is a viral infection that affects mammals, including humans. In an alert issued Tuesday, North Dakota’s Health and Human Services Department is asking anyone who may have been bitten or had contact with the raccoon's saliva to seek medical care.
“Because rabies is such a serious disease with a nearly 100% fatality rate, we are making this information available to the public as a precautionary measure,” epidemiologist Amanda Bakken said in a statement.
Six rabid animals have been reported in North Dakota this year, including two bats, two cats, one bovine and one skunk.
Said Smith, “I had no idea what she was thinking."

Australian firm buys two-thirds stake in Chicago Skyway for $2 billion
CHICAGO (CBS) --The Chicago Skyway has a new owner.
The Australian investment group Atlas Arteria agreed to buy a two-third stake of the toll road for $2 billion. It's the third time the lease has changed hands since former Mayor Richard Daley privatized the Skyway back in 2004.
The mayors office called the sale "a big win for the city" that will generate tens of millions of dollars for Chicago taxpayers.

As in the 1996 film William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet, actor Leonardo DiCaprio — who played the role of Romeo — never seems to fulfill a romantic relationship with a happy ending. In fact, the 47-year-old actor has long been the center of public scrutiny for his strange, if not predatorial, dating habits. With news of his alleged breakup with 25-year-old Camilla Morrone, the TikTok and Twitter community have disclosed disturbing information about DiCaprio’s love interests — all of whom are “discarded” before the age of 26. In other words, DiCaprio has never publicly dated any woman over the age of 25. Now that is quite the controversy.
In the state of California, the legal age of consent is 18. This makes it illegal for an adult to have sexual relations with a minor, be it consensual or not. Some states have an exception to this law, better known as the Romeo and Juliet law, which decriminalizes sex with a minor given a small age gap between two parties. California, however, does not acknowledge the Romeo and Juliet law.
Despite regulations like our State’s Penal Code 261.5 that recognizes intercourse between minors and adults as statutory rape, Hollywood has a long history of condoning underage, and possibly, illegal relationships. It’s time for our entertainment industry to condemn this toxic culture.
Summer, outdoors, and mosquitoes seem to go together. I have learned that as a mosquito bites you, it penetrates through your skin with a mouth part called a proboscis to drink your blood, injecting its own saliva during the process. The pesky consequence of one’s body reacting to the saliva takes the shape of a puffy, itchy bump that often appears a few minutes after the injection. Swelling up like a huge cherry tomato after one itch, this mosquito bite will take up to a week to vanish.
For me, mosquito bites are the worst factor of summer. I have always wondered why some people like me are bitten more than others
(https://www.healthline.com/health/mosquito-blood-type). People with type O blood, and their sweat, attract more mosquitoes. Dealing with an itchy bump can ruin my day in seconds. Fortunately, here are some tips and tricks I learned that always give me some relief:
• Immediately wash the bite area with soap and water.
• Apply a cold compress like an ice pack on the bite.
• Use an over-the-counter anti-itch cream to minimize the itching.
• Have patience and try not to scratch. (I always have trouble with this step).
Every high school has a wide variety of extracurricular activities for students to participate in. A significant portion of these activities are sports-related. Each high school has their own competitive teams for many different sports, including popular ones such as American football and soccer as well as under-the radar sports like water polo and cross country.
No matter the sport, all these activities are great ways to stay active and healthy. They also give students the opportunity to become active in the community, meet new people with similar interests, and enjoy doing some of the hobbies they love within the confines of their own campus. Participating in a sport during high school can benefit students in the long run.
It has been scientifically proven that playing sports in high school can actually benefit one’s academic career and future occupation as well as increase chances of going to college. Studies have shown that participation in sports can lead to increased GPAs (grade point averages), 40% higher test scores, and a 15% greater chance of going to college. Student athletes also tend to have higher incomes later in life and are more productive overall than people who did not play sports in their youth. People who play high school sports also have higher self-esteem than others and feel good about their accomplishments.
Student athletes are also great contributors to the community and environment. They are more inclined to volunteer in various organizations around the community. I am a student athlete myself and I spend multiple hours every other week writing articles for The Fullerton Observer as a volunteer contributor. Physically active communities also seem to maintain a better lifestyle than other communities. Studies show that these communities have clean environments, low unemployment rates, and even above average property values compared to nearby areas.
Finally, playing high school sports can have a positive effect on a person’s mental health and social life. Student athletes seem to have lower anxiety and depression levels and suicide rates than others. Their high levels of confidence and well-being allow them to feel more in control of their lives and they are more motivated to achieve their goals. They are able to create stronger relationships and can bond with both peers and family members than students who do not play sports. Student athletes tend to stay away from drugs, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
High school sports (and all youth sports for that matter) have more benefits than most people think. It is worth giving these sports programs a try. You will be glad you did.

Meow hello to Tabitha! She’s a sweet three-year-old cat that had trials and tribulations in her unfortunate cat’s life. Upon arrival at OC Animal Care, the veterinary staff noticed that Tabitha’s eyes were causing her a notable amount of pain. It was diagnosed that she was born with a condition that caused her eyelids to flip inside out, which ended up with her eyelashes continually scratching her corneas. Tabitha was blind in both eyes, and both were causing her unnecessary discomfort. To relieve Tabitha of pain, the veterinary staff worked to remove both her eyes. Tabitha has been sweet and uncomplaining, patient, and resilient. The only thing she ever complains about is that she doesn’t get as many cuddles as she would like. She is always searching for hugs. Tabitha takes some time to warm up to you. You must win her friendship and when you do, you will get to hear that lovely purr.

Q: Which tortoise species is the biggest in the world?
A: The biggest tortoise in the world is the Galapagos Tortoise. They can weigh as much as 661 lbs and can grow to be four feet long. The biggest Galapagos Tortoise on record weighed as much as 1764 lbs and was six feet long. They are critically endangered from predation, invasive species, and human-tortoise conflicts. There are fifteen Galapagos Tortoise subspecies; two of that fifteen are extinct. Galapagos Tortoises are very friendly. They can float in the water due to an extra layer of blubber and can move at a shocking 0.16 miles per hour. In captivity, they can live for over a hundred years. The oldest on record lived to be 175 years old. There are only about 60,000 Galapagos Tortoises left.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Lawmakers in an Australian state pledged their allegiance to King Charles III on Tuesday with some using the occasion to call for an Australian republic.
Australia’s center-left Labor Party government wants an Australian president to replace the British monarch as the nation’s head of state. The death of Queen Elizabeth II last week after a 70-year reign is seen by many as an ideal opportunity for change.
Lawmakers from the minor Greens party used their swearing in ceremony in the Victoria Parliament to advocate for an Australian head of state.
“We’re here as Victorian MPs to swear allegiance to King Charles III, a new head of state decided for us, but not by us,” Greens leader Samantha Ratnam told reporters before the ceremony, referring to members of Parliament.
“This is a really important time to reflect on the role of the British monarchy going forward in Australia, the impact of colonization and the need to move forward in this country with a treaty and with a republic,” Ratnam added.
Despite the protest, all four Greens lawmakers fell in with the rest in swearing or affirming their allegiance to the king, whose is head of state of Britain, Australia and another 13 countries that were once part of the British Empire.
Three Greens lawmakers wore clothes with slogans that highlighted that the British colonized Australia without signing a treaty with its Indigenous people.
The ceremony in Australia’s second-most populous state, which is named after the 19th century monarch Queen Victoria, was the result of a legal quirk that underscores how complicated the process of Australia severing its constitutional ties with Britain’s monarch could become.
Lawmakers’ pledge of allegiance in the other five states and in the Australian Parliament roll over from the late queen to her eldest son.
Victoria demands a new oath to a dead monarch’s successor before lawmakers can vote on motions or legislation — a procedure one expert called a “silly quirk.”
“They’ve got a clause in their constitution that shouldn’t be there,” George Williams, a University of New South Wales constitutional lawyer, said.
“Really, you don’t need it. You should have the oath … to the monarch’s heirs and successors” as occurs in the Australian Parliament, Williams said.
Australians voted at a 1999 referendum against Australia becoming a republic and breaking its constitutional ties to its former colonial master.
If that referendum had succeeded in establishing an Australian president, the states were expected to eventually take the same step, Williams said.
Williams did not consider an Australian republic with state monarchies would be sustainable in the long term.
“It would be symbolically fraught and pretty inconvenient and wouldn’t make much sense either to be a republican nation and have state monarchies,” Williams said.
“I don’t think anyone would think it would last very long, but it’s at least a theoretical possibility,” Williams added.
Adelaide University Law Professor Greg Taylor said the potential for states to resist ending their links to monarch was no reason for Australia not to hold a second referendum on becoming a republic.
“There are very good reasons for not doing it, but ‘it’s too hard’ is not one of them,” Taylor said.
He said the German Empire from 1871 until 1918 was an example of a coalition of monarchies and republics.
“So such a thing is possible. I think personally it would be rather odd,” Taylor, said referring to the possibility of state monarchies remaining in an Australian republic.
The British monarch is represented across the Australian nation by a governor-general who is appointed by the monarch on the advice of the prime minister.
The monarch is represented in each state by a state governor appointed on the advice of the state premier.
The Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory don’t have the same rights as states and their links to the monarch are less direct.

Two familiar foes will be seeing a lot of each other in the next two days as the Pittsburgh Pirates and host Cincinnati Reds play three games in 24 hours, starting with a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday.
The Reds will send right-hander Luis Cessa (3-2, 4.97 ERA) to the mound to start Game 1. Cessa will be making his sixth start of the season and the 25th start of his seven-year career.
This will be his fourth appearance of the season and first career start vs. the Pirates. He is 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA in seven all-time outings vs. Pittsburgh.
In a 4-3 road win over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, Cessa did not allow a hit until Nico Hoerner led off the fifth inning with a triple. Cessa reached a career milestone when he recorded his 300th career strikeout. Cessa struck out a career-high eight batters while walking none over 5 2/3 innings of two-run ball.
The Reds were undecided on the starter for Game 2, but it might be right-hander Raynel Espinal, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Louisville on Monday. His lone career major league appearance came for the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 30, 2021, when he gave up two runs in two innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Pirates right-hander Johan Oviedo (2-2, 3.90 ERA) will start the opener on Tuesday. He will be making his third start since joining the franchise in the Jose Quintana trade with the St. Louis Cardinals last month and then getting called up earlier this month.
Oviedo, 24, took a loss in his latest outing, on Wednesday against the New York Mets, after allowing four runs on one hit with five walks and two strikeouts in only 1 2/3 innings.
Oviedo did not factor in the decision in his Pirates debut on Sept. 2 vs. the Blue Jays after throwing three scoreless frames, striking out four and walking three.
Luis Ortiz, a 23-year-old right-hander, will make his major league debut for the Pirates in the nightcap. He had his contract selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday. Ortiz is ranked second among all Pirates minor-leaguers in strikeouts (138 in 124 1/3 innings).
While it won’t be during the doubleheader, Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene is ready to resume his rookie season and finish the year with the major league club in the rotation. Greene, working his way back from a strained right shoulder, completed a three-start rehab assignment on Sunday with Louisville.
“Going in, my biggest priority is making sure that I’m healthy,” Greene said. “I definitely had a focus on working on all my pitches and making sure those are tight so when I get back here, I feel like I haven’t skipped a beat. I’m happy where I am and I’m looking forward to finishing the season strong.”
Greene, 23, is expected to be activated from the injured list to pitch in the upcoming series against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The Reds could use the help, as they will be playing a five-game series in four days beginning Thursday.
Pirates rookie Oneil Cruz, a left-handed hitting shortstop, received the night off from the starting lineup Monday as lefty Mike Minor started for the Reds.
Still, Cruz continues to show promise for the Pirates since a move to the leadoff spot in the order. He has three homers in his past seven games, all coming in the No. 1 position in the order. Overall, Cruz has 14 homers and 44 RBIs in just 67 games.
“It helps me out a lot, and I’m enjoying it because I’m used to it,” Cruz said of hitting leadoff. “Over there in Triple-A, I was already getting familiar with being the first hitter.
“For me, either I’m going to swing early at the best pitch I could see or get, or two, I’m going to try to get that pitcher as far as I can so either I can get walked and also help the guy on deck get better pitch selection, as well, and see better pitches.”

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

Brent started his teaching career in Klemme and spent the remainder of his teaching career at Iowa falls high school teaching business and accounting courses along with coaching until his retirement. Brent was known for his love of teaching and more so for his love and mentoring of his students in education and life.
Brent remained a bachelor and was always looking to befriend others, giving love and kindness to everyone he met. His motto in life was "Kindness Matters."
To thank Brent for his giving of kindness, the residents of Iowa Falls started a school scholarship fund in Brent's name, the Brent Peters Kindness Scholarship. Donations to this scholarship were from friends, former students and others and will be given to two high school students per year and for future years to come. Brent was both honored and humbled by the recognition and outpouring of the community for this scholarship.
Brent enjoyed his hobby of antiques, being with family and most of all his love for his kitties that he adopted. Brent always had a smile on his face and a sack of candy to give some to everyone. He was a dedicated Christian and church attendee.
Brent is survived by his twin sister, Barbara Montgomery; his brothers: Lynn (Kay) Peters and Paul (Sheri) Peters; along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
Brent will be welcomed to his eternal home by his parents Ray and Lois Peters, both paternal and maternal grandparents, brother-in-law J'ay Montgomery, nephew Larry Easter; and several aunts and uncles.
Brent's motto in life was "Kindness Matters" of which he lived his entire life. Please carry this kindness forward.
Love You Brent.

Thirty years ago this week, Harley Quinn made her debut in Batman: The Animated Series. And her evolution from the Joker’s accomplice and sidekick to a full-blown antiheroine in her own right has made her a DC icon. However, that wasn’t always the case. When she first appeared in 1992’s “Joker’s Favor,” Harley was just the amusing henchwoman to the Joker, and she was slated to appear in only one episode. However, Harley’s creators Paul Dini and Bruce Timm saw the potential to keep using her in the series and her role on the show kept growing.
Dini and Timm fleshed out Harley’s origin and her abusive relationship with the Joker in Batman: Mad Love, a one-shot comic published in 1993. This issue (which was later adapted as an episode of the show), revealed that Harley was once Dr. Harleen Quinzen, a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum who made the grave mistake of falling for her patient, the Joker. But as much as Harley loved her “Mr. J,” he never truly loved her in return. However, even this series gave Harley a close friend outside of the Joker’s influence: Poison Ivy. Together, Harley and Ivy were a formidable team.
How it started vs. how it’s going. Happy 30th Anniversary, me! #HarleyQuinn pic.twitter.com/PdE1Lcnmqj

Harley’s popularity was so huge that she was introduced into DC’s comic book continuity in 1999. By 2000, Karl Kesel and artist Terry Dodson launched the first Harley Quinn ongoing series. This comic was also the first time that Harley stepped out of the Joker’s shadow as a solo criminal. Additionally, the series fleshed out the friendship between Harley and Ivy.
Over the ensuing years, Harley remained a part of Batman’s rogues gallery. 2011’s New 52 reboot even made Harley a member of the Suicide Squad and separated her from the Joker once and for all. However, it wasn’t until 2013 that Harley started to morph into a more humorous version of herself. Co-writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner launched a new Harley Quinn ongoing series with artists Chad Hardin and John Timms, This is where she picked up her fourth wall breaking habits and became more of an antiheroine. By the end of the series, even Batman tacitly approved of Harley’s change of heart.

In 2016, Margot Robbie brought Harley to the big screen in Suicide Squad. This version of the character is the antiheroine that many fans have come to love today. She’s an extremely skilled fighter who is both hilarious and unpredictable. While Harley’s headline turn in Birds of Prey wasn’t quite as popular, she returned to form in The Suicide Squad.
Currently, Kaley Cuoco voices Harley in the HBO Max animated series, Harley Quinn. Unlike previous adaptations of Harley, this one is more true to the comics. She is also openly in a romantic relationship with Poison Ivy, a development that the comics shied away from acknowledging until recently. The Harley of this series is the most fully realized version of herself to date. But given her popularity, this won’t be the last time Harley appears in either a TV series or a film.

The U.S. Commerce Department has reached a deal with Google to boost chip production for researchers.
Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. signed a cooperative research and development agreement with the U.S. government to try and produce more chips that researchers and use in the development of new nanotechnology and semiconductor devices, Reuters reported.
As investment publication Seeking Alpha reported, California-based Google will pay the initial costs to set up production. It will subsidize the first production run in the deal with Washington regulators.
According to Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Laurie Locascio, the deal was actually signed before the CHIPS and Science Act was passed by U.S. lawmakers.
Locascio said, "a great example of how government, industry and academic researchers can work together to enhance U.S. leadership in this critically important industry."

The Ondo State Executive Council decision that markets should not be closed during traditional festivals without government’s approval, and that such closure should be limited to the kings’ markets, has not gone down well with some people in Akure, who believe that the decision was to reduce the influence of the Deji. Babatope Okeowo reports on the uproar the decision has generated in the state capital and neighbouring communities
The Ondo State Executive Council after its weekly meeting presided over by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu recently directed that closure of markets during traditional festivals without government’s approval would no longer be tolerated. The government also said such markets’ closure should be limited to the kings’ markets which are usually located within the premises of the palaces virtually in all Yoruba towns and villages.
The Exco decision
The Commissioner for Information, Mrs Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, who read the decision of the State Executive Council, said the State Executive Council has upgraded some Traditional Rulers across the state to different grades. She said the council also approved the elevation of some chiefs to the status of Obas in the various communities.
Few of the Obas upgraded from grade ‘B’ to ‘A’ included the Olowa of Igbara-Oke; Ojomo-Luda of Ijebu- Owo; Owa-Ale of Iyometa; Elemure of Emure; Olupele of Ipele; Alara of Ilara-Mokin; Olujare of Ijare; Olumoru of Imoru; Ogbolu of Itaogbolu; Oloba of Oba-Ile; Odogbo of Omi; Orunja of Odigbo; Okiti of Iju; among others. The government spokesperson also said the Executive Council has mandated that there shall be no closure of markets in any part of the state without the approval of the governor. Her words: “The State Exco noted the permit granted for the observance of traditional festivals in the state.
The government hereby reiterates that there shall be no closure of markets without the approval of the governor. Where approval is granted, such approval shall be limited to the Oba’s market alone, not shops in residential areas. In addition, we discussed the use of Yoruba Language in communication as government interfaces with the people and its officers. At the State Executive Council, we decided that we encourage the use of Yoruba or other native languages like Ijaw, Ikale, Ilaje, as the case may be, in our communication.”
Justification of govt’s order
Residents of Ondo State, particularly Akure, the state capital, have been complaining about the unease the closure of markets usually caused during the two traditional festivals that required such action in the state capital. Apart from paralyzing the social and economic activities, some hoodlums often used such occasions to loot the wares of traders. The last Aheregbe’s celebration led to the looting of the shop of a woman, Mrs Williams Oyinkansola in Oba-Ile in Akure North Local Government. In a viral video, the woman said her shop, which is attached to her house, was invaded by thugs under the guise of celebrating a traditional festival. She said she did not open her shop for business, yet the criminals jumped the fence and looted her shop. Another woman said she was told that her shop had been looted by some hoodlums masquerading as traditionalists. The woman, who was seen crying in the video, said that she had not opened her shop and pleaded that as a widow, with two children, she should not be made to suffer. Another set of hoodlums stopped a branded vehicle carrying food items and plundered what it was conveying along Akure/Idanre road. Such incidents of looting of shops attached to various houses during the festivals infuriated the government which led to the decision of seeking approval of government before markets closure and limiting it to Oba’s palaces.
Insecurity
The celebration of the last Aheregbe Festival almost led to breach of peace between Akure, the state capital and Isinkan, an autonomous community within Akure South Local Government.
The Deji, had in a statement issued by his Press Secretary, Mr Michael Adeyeye, said all markets and shops would be closed for business during the festival. It said “All residents are advised to please go freely and note that all markets and shops in Akure kingdom will be in total closure. Only pharmacy and medicine shops are allowed to open for business. For the sake of emphasis, only pharmacy shops and patent medicine stores will be allowed to open during the festival. We enjoin residents, market women and shop owners in Akure to comply with this directive as no markets or shops in Akure will be spared. The festival will not restrict both human and vehicular movement.” But the Iralepo of Isinkan Kingdom, Oba Oluwagbemiga Ajimokunola Olofin-Adimula, while congratulating the Deji of Akure kingdom over the Aheregbe Festival, said the directive would not extend to his domain. The Iralepo used the opportunity to invite shoppers in Akure to come to Isinkan for their business and shopping during the Aheregbe period as shops and businesses shall remain open in every part of the Isikan domain. The monarch, who said it is taboo to bring such a festival to Isinkan, said forcing such on the community would have grave consequences. While saying though Akure and Isinkan share what some may consider blurred boundaries, the monarch said indigenes of the two communities know their domains. Their boundaries are not blurred. His words: “For the purpose of emphasis, I will like to say that Isinkan shares boundary with Akure at Imogun, just before Saint Thomas’ Anglican Church, Isinkan, and Ondo at the Owena River. In all these areas markets and shops are not closed for the Aheregbe Festival. It is a taboo and has consequence on Isinkan Community as well as the priest of the festival.
Govt’s intervention
Acutely aware that a possible clash may lead to a breach of peace of the town, the government, through the Deputy Governor, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, called the opposing factions to a meeting where he warned them against throwing the state capital into chaos over the Aheregbe Festival. The government directed that the traditionalists should not step into Isikan territories while celebrating the festival while Iralepo should close the markets in his domain for peace to reign. The government also deployed security agencies to the two communities to prevent law and order. Despite the government’s intervention, some hoodlums still invaded the Isinkan community in order to enforce the closure of markets and shops.
Uproar over govt’s decision
Although the government’s directive affected all towns and villages in the state, the criticisms were largely only limited to Akure as various groups and associations in the town kicked in. For instance, the Ooye Development Initiative, (ODI) described as “anti-culture” the resolve of the State Executive Council which forbade the closure of markets in the state capital, in celebration of the ancient Aheregbe Festival. A statement issued by ODI’s Secretary, a former Dean, Faculty of Science of the University of Ibadan, Professor Abiodun Ayodele, and Publicity Secretary, Dr. Festus Adedayo, said it considered the statement credited to the Commissioner for Information in the state, Mrs Bamidele Ademola-Olateju in this regard as a continuation of a perceived hostility of the current government to the people of Akure. It said: “We consider the statement a continuation of the Oluwarotimi Akeredolu government’s persistent riding roughshod over the people of Akure, hostility to their ancient practices and persistent disregard for their monarchy and the monarch.” Similarly, a youth group, under the auspices of Akure Youth Coalition (AYC), also kicked against the decision of the government. The President and Public Relations Officer Tuyi Adekanbi and Iteyemi Adegoroye respectively said it was an affront on the culture of the town to ban the celebration of traditional festivals. The group said: “The government should be fully aware that the traditional institutions predate the colonial period and mod-ern day Nigeria. Though we acknowledge the right of the government to make laws for the good of the land, however, this does not give a blanket order for the government to trample upon the traditions and culture of the people with utmost disregard. It is a fact that we have few bad eggs who might want to use the festival to commit crime. The fact is that the criminals should be apprehended and made to face the music.”
Isinkan’s position
The Ojomu of Isinkan, Chief Oluwatuyi Daisi said the Osukute of Akure left out facts about the Aheregbe Festival. His words: “Up until 1976, the Oba’s market in Isikan was located right in front of the palace of the Iralepo just like the Oba’s market in Akure was located right in front of the palace of the Deji. “Secondly, that growth in trade and commerce led to the transfer of that market to a larger piece of land by the Yeye Grove, its present location after the market had spent 90 days beside Elegboroko as part of a ritual of movement.
“Thirdly, the Osukute should have stated that for reasons he may pretend not to know, but which Isinkan chiefs cannot pretend not to know, the culture and traditions of Isinkan people are different from and independent of the culture and traditions of Akure people.” Similarly, the Aro of Isinkan, Chief James Kolawole said Asoga, who is the Chief Priest of the festival, would dare not enter Isinkan because of the taboos associated with it. He said most of the people know the truth but are afraid to say it. His words: “These current Akure leaders are wantonly violating their culture and traditions.
They have no regard for tradition. We wanted to work with them before, but they have shown in their attitude that we are not wanted. Our late Oba spent 43 years trying to be their friend. Oba Olu Ojo bent over backward and even called the Deji ‘our father’. But they were never satisfied. Look at the way they treated him. “We are not Akure people. We are Isinkan people. We are not on Akure land, we are on Isinkan land. The culture and traditions of Isinkan people are different from those of Akure people despite the proximity of the two communities.”
Elders’ position
Majority of the elderly people contacted in both Akure and Oba-Ile, the cradle of the festival, said that it is true that the Aheregbe Festival is never observed in Isikan or near Isinkan. For instance, Babatunde Adedipe explained that: “From time past, all markets would be closed in Akure during the Aheregbe Festival and our people in Akure would then go to the market in Isinkan to buy essential things during the festival. Even to pound yam, we would either go to Isinkan or Isolo in those days during the festival”. Also, the Osukute of Akure, Chief O. Ogunleye, said: “By custom and tradition, the only markets opened would be the ones in front of the Baobab tree in Iralepo’s home in Isikan and his counterpart in Isolo”. Similarly, Pa. Michael Ayejusi in Oba- Ile stated that: “There is a deity in Isinkan that forbids the presence of Aheregbe.”
He added that: “There is no Oba-Ile festival or Akure festival that ever crosses to Isinkan. That is the way we met the practice from the hands of our forefathers. I think it is also a traditional method of affirming the independence of the Isinkan people.”

Twitter shareholders vote in favor of Elon Musk’s $44B takeover bid
Twitter shareholders voted to sell the company to Elon Musk for $44 billion, a deal the billionaire is now furiously trying to end.
Twitter said a preliminary shareholder vote count on Tuesday found a majority to accept Musk’s April 25 offer to buy the company for $54.20 a share.
Shares of Twitter rose 2 percent after the vote to $42.30 — but remained priced well below deal terms, indicating significant uncertainty among investors about making it through the buyout.
Musk has fought tooth and nail to pull out of the deal, alleging that Twitter lied about the prevalence of fake accounts on the site. The dispute will go to court in Delaware next month.
Hours before the shareholder vote, Twitter’s former security chief reinforced Musk’s criticism by telling Congress that the company is plagued by weak cybersecurity that leaves it vulnerable to exploitation by “teenagers, thieves and spies.”
Twitter shareholders have voted to sell the company to Elon Musk for $44 billion, a deal the billionaire is now scrambling to pull out of
Twitter whistleblower Peiter ‘Mudge’ Zatko, a respected cybersecurity expert, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday to lay out his allegations
When Zatko started his testimony, Musk tweeted an emoji with a box of popcorn on it. He later tweeted, without further explanation: ‘My tweets are being suppressed!’
Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, a respected cybersecurity expert, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday to explain his allegations.
“I’m here today because the Twitter leadership is misleading the public, lawmakers, regulators and even its own board of directors,” Zatko said as he began his affidavit.
“They don’t know what data they have, where they are and where they come from, so it’s not surprising they can’t protect them,” Zatko said. “It doesn’t matter who has the keys if there are no locks.”
Zatko said that “the Twitter leadership ignored its engineers,” in part because “their executive incentives drove them to put profit before safety.”
In his testimony, however, Zatko never mentioned “bots,” the fake spam accounts central to Musk’s criticism of the company.
When Zatko started his testimony, Musk tweeted an emoji with a box of popcorn on it. He later tweeted, without further explanation: ‘My tweets are being suppressed!’
He later tweeted a GIF featuring a scene from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which a farmer character protests that he is being “oppressed.”
Musk has nearly 106 million followers on Twitter and his Tuesday tweets seemed to get fewer comments and “likes” than usual.
A Twitter spokesperson did not immediately respond to a question from DailyMail.com on Tuesday afternoon.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal can be seen above. The company is suing Musk, vowing it will force him to complete the acquisition on agreed terms
Shares of Twitter rose 2 percent after the vote but remain priced well below deal terms, suggesting the degree of investor uncertainty the buyout will experience
Musk has seized Zatko’s claims and also cites an alleged severance payment to Zatko in his latest letter to the Twitter board demanding that his takeover bid end.
In Friday’s letter, Musk’s attorneys said Twitter’s failure to ask for his consent before paying $7.75 million termination fee to Zatko and his attorneys violated the merger agreement, which limited when Twitter could make such payments.
The payment, including $7 million for Zatko, “cannot be cured” and Musk is therefore “under no obligation” to complete the merger, the letter said. A copy was filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Twitter labeled Musk’s latest attempt to pull out of the deal as “void and illegitimate.”
Musk has also sued Zatko, and a judge has ruled that his claims could be used in next month’s trial to settle the buyout dispute.
Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled that Musk could use Zatko’s claims that Twitter was hiding security and data privacy vulnerabilities.
However, the judge declined to delay the start of next month’s trial, as requested by Musk’s lawyers.
A Twitter spokesperson said at the time: “We look forward to presenting our case in court from Oct. 17 and intend to complete the transaction at the price and terms agreed with Mr. Musk.”
Twitter fired Zatko in January, citing “ineffective leadership and poor performance.”
Zatko’s lawyers have dismissed Twitter’s claim, claiming instead that he was fired after clashing with top executives who refused to acknowledge his platform security concerns.
Zatko’s allegations are now considered the wildcard in Musk’s lawsuit with Twitter, which legal experts argue strongly otherwise.
“Once both parties go to court, it will be a high risk/high reward scenario for both parties, with the key X variable now being the Zatko whistleblower claims,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a note to investors.
“We continue to see the Zatko situation as a Pandora’s Box scenario for Twitter.”
If the court focuses on the fact that the world’s richest man refused to collect facts typically associated with high-money mergers, Zatko’s allegations could be disputed.
If Twitter wins in the trial, the judge could order Musk to pay billions of dollars to the company as compensation for the withdrawal, or even to complete the purchase.

O n August 31, this year, the Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Sokoto, Most Reverend Dr Matthew Hassan Kukah turned 70. Congratulatory messages poured in from all over the world rejoicing with him and also thanking God for his seven decades on earth. New Telegraph joins wellwishers to rejoice with Dr. Kukah for his long life while praying to God to continue to endow him with more years of quality health and continued useful service to humanity. Born in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Bishop Kukah attended Saint Fidelis Primary School, Zangon, before gaining admission into Saint Joseph’s Minor Seminary, Zaria, also in Kaduna State. He continued his studies at Saint Augustine’s Major Seminary Jos, Plateau State, where he studied Philosophy and Theology and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Divinity from the Pontifical Urban University Rome, Italy in 1976. He also attended the University of Ibadan, where earned a Diploma in Religious Studies.
He earned a Master’s Degree in Peace Studies from the University of Bradford, United Kingdom, (UK) in 1980, after which he earned a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Degree from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London in 1990. Ordained a Catholic priest on December 17, 1976, shortly after his Bachelor’s Degree from the Pontifical Urban University, Dr. Kukah has served humanity in different capacities. It was while serving as the Secretary-General at the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos that he became visibly noticed not only as a clergyman but as an extraordinary intellectual. From his position as Secretary-General of the CSN, he analysed and dissected societal issues in oral and written communication that were difficult to ignore.
The CSN became a place of interest for journalists, scholars, and other discerning members of the society. Bishop Kukah is unlike some clergymen who could be likened to preachers of prosperity gospel thereby giving their congregation and others the impression that human beings do not necessarily need to work hard but only look up to the sky for manna to fall from above. But for Dr. Kukah this is a misinterpretation of the Word of God. He could be said to be a firm believer in the immortal words of Saint Ignatius that: “A person should pray hard as if everything depends on God but work hard as if everything depends on him or her.”
It is probably for this reason that the celebrant, reinforced by his vast learning, preaches what, at best, could be referred to as liberation theology. Realising that the few privileged ones in different human sectors have subjected the multitude of less privileged individuals to deprivations of monumental proportions, Bishop Kukah has deployed his energy and intellect to constantly speak truth to power proffering solutions for the march forward of the society. T he services of the celebrant are exceedingly sought by stakeholders within and outside the precincts of the Catholic Church. Some years ago, he was invited by the Newswatch Communications Limited to be one of its esteemed external columnists among who were Professors Pat Utomi, Adebayo Williams and Niyi Osundare.
Each outing of Dr Kukah as a Newswatch columnist was a display of irresistible scholarship common at the delivery of an inaugural lecture at a citadel of learning. Many from far and near looked forward to his scholarly offerings in the Newswatch Magazine. He was also the Secretary- General of the National Political Conference during the tenure of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He was also a member of the National Human Rights Investigation Commission popularly known as the ‘Oputa Panel’. He was also the Chairman of Ogoni/Shell KK Committee setup during the tenure of President Obasanjo to resolve the misunderstanding between the oil company and the people of Ogoni. For many years, Bishop Kukah has been the Secretary of the National Peace Committee, whose Chairman is the former Head of State, General Abdul Salam Abubakar.
He was appointed into the Dicastery for the Promotion of Human Integral Development by Pope Francis in 2020.The fact that Dr. Kukah’s name has remained a recurring feature in the referred committees and other assignments, both religious and secular, could be likened to a vote of confidence on his person and attributes of competence, fairness, uprightness and sense of justice. It was a fitting tribute to this clergyman and scholar of distinction when his denomination, the Catholic Church, elevated him to the post of the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto in 2011. Even as a Bishop, Dr. Kukah’s trademark scholarship has remained undiminished.
From time to time, his down-to-earth analyses and dissections with regard to societal happenings do not go down well with the privileged few to whom the celebrant has deemed fit to challenge to debate. A particular instance was the invitation to a debate extended to the presidential aides by Dr. Kukah. Acceptance to the debate by the presidential aides is not yet in the public domain. We wish Dr. Kukah, a theologian, clergyman, social crusader, humanist and scholar of distinction, a happy 70th birthday and more years of stable health and uplifting service to humanity.

‘Ultimately Irrelevant’: DOJ Destroys Trump’s Claims as It Tries to Convince Judge of Urgent Need to Use Classified Docs
The U.S. Dept of Justice is trying once again to convince a Trump-appointed judge that it has an urgent need to continue its investigation of the 100 or so classified documents it seized from the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort and residence.
Tuesday evening DOJ filed a motion explaining why Trump’s legal arguments don’t hold water.
Trump, the Dept. of Justice tells Judge Aileen Cannon, has never officially told the court that he declassified the 100 documents in question, while he has asserted that they are his, or more specifically, his records under the Presidential Records Act.
National security attorney Brad Moss says the DOJ is “smacking Trump for dancing around declassification and executive privilege issues without actually invoking them.”
By the language they are using, it appears they are almost mocking him and his attorneys.
Attorney Gabriel Malor suggests that DOJ is taking “a shot at Judge Cannon for doing Team Trump’s work for them.”
It appears DOJ has found the flaw in Trump’s argument that tries to leverage the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
If Trump, the plaintiff, is claiming he has declassified the documents then there is no reason DOJ should not be allowed to use them in furtherance of its investigation. Right now Judge Cannon is blocking them from using the 100 documents in any way to further their investigation. DOJ is seeking what it calls a “limited stay.”
If Trump, as he has suggested, declassified them and is now claiming they are his personal records, then there is no possibility of any “executive privilege” claim whatsoever,” DOJ argues. Executive privilege only covers areas related to “performance of his official duties.”
Trump’s “suggestion that he ‘may have categorized certain of the seized materials as personal [records] during his presidency’ … if true, would only supply another reason that he cannot assert executive privilege with regard to those records,” DOJ states.
“If Plaintiff truly means to suggest that, while President, he chose to categorize records with markings such as ‘SECRET’ and ‘TOP SECRET’ as his personal records for purposes of the PRA, then he cannot assert that the very same records are protected by executive privilege—i.e., that they are ‘Presidential communications’ made in furtherance of the ‘performance of his official duties.'”
Trump, the DOJ says, “does not actually assert—much less provide any evidence—that any of the seized records bearing classification markings have been declassified.”
“More importantly, the issues [Trump] attempts to raise are ultimately irrelevant. Even if Plaintiff had declassified these records, and even if he somehow had categorized them as his ‘personal’ records for purposes of the PRA—neither of which has been shown—nothing in the PRA or any other source of law establishes a plausible claim of privilege or any other justification for an injunction restricting the government’s review and use of records at the center of an ongoing criminal and national security investigation.”
“And nothing in Plaintiff’s Response rebuts the compelling public interest in granting the limited stay the government seeks.”

‘Special significance’: Kremlin talks up importance of Putin-Xi meeting this week
By Vladimir Isachenkov
Moscow: The Kremlin hailed the significance of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s planned meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week, noting that it’s particularly important amid tensions with the West.
Putin’s foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said the two leaders are scheduled to meet Thursday in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, on the sidelines of a summit of a security pact dominated by Moscow and Beijing.
“The meeting has a special significance in view of the current international situation,” Ushakov told reporters on Tuesday Moscow-time, saying Putin and Xi will discuss the international situation, along with regional issues and bilateral cooperation.
China has pointedly refused to criticise Russia’s action in Ukraine and denounced Western sanctions against Moscow. Russia, in turn, has strongly backed China amid tensions with the US that followed a recent visit to Taiwan by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“China has taken a well-balanced approach to the Ukrainian crisis, clearly expressing its understanding of the reasons that prompted Russia to launch the special military operation,” Ushakov said. “The issue will be thoroughly discussed during the meeting.”
The talks between Putin and Xi follow their meeting in February, when the Russian leader attended the opening of the Beijing Olympics shortly before sending troops into Ukraine.
Ushakov noted that “the discussion of issues related to trade and economic cooperation is particularly important,” adding that “in the difficult conditions amid unlawful Western sanctions this cooperation has remained stable and continued gaining tempo.”
Alexander Gabuev, an expert on Russia-China ties, said the main characteristic of current Russian-Chinese relations is “their asymmetry in favour of China.” Beijing, he said, has “more options and more bargaining power than Russia.”
Gabuev argued that the conflict in Ukraine greatly weakens Russia’s negotiating position, making it “impossible to do anything without partnership with China.”
As the West is moving to establish a price cap on Russian energy resources and potentially cut their imports altogether, Russia will grow increasingly reliant on China for selling its oil and gas and will be forced to cooperate on Beijing’s conditions.
“Of course, China would want to take advantage of this opportunity,” Gabuev said.
He added that China will serve as the main source of key technologies for Moscow, after Western allies have cut such exports to Russia.
On Friday, Putin and Xi will attend the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a security grouping dominated by Russia and China that also includes India, Pakistan and ex-Soviet Central Asian nations. Iran and some other countries are on track to membership.
Putin and Xi have developed strong personal ties to bolster a “strategic partnership” between the former Communist rivals as they both are now locked in rivalry with the US. Even though Moscow and Beijing in the past ruled out a military alliance, Putin has said that such a prospect can’t be excluded.
In a show of military muscle amid the tensions with the West, Russia and China have held joint military drills in Russia and the Sea of Japan that also involved several other nations.

IN Nigeria, bad news comes in cascades. The latest is a depressing report showing that the number of children and youth missing out on schooling has almost doubled. According to data compiled by UNESCO in partnership with the Global Education and Monitoring Report, Nigeria’s out-of-school children and youth population has jumped to 20.2 million. The federal and state governments should take urgent measures to wipe out these odious statistics.
UNESCO notes that there are 244 million children and youths between the ages of six and 18 worldwide who are still out of school. With its 20.2 million victims, Nigeria has the second highest unschooled children after India; Pakistan has the third highest. This figure nearly doubles the country’s oft-quoted decade-old figures of between 10 million and 13.5 million and long rated to be the highest in the world by the World Bank and other multilateral agencies.
Reasons adduced for the increase by experts include rising insecurity across the country, causing mass displacement; poor funding; rising poverty that forces parents to put children in the labour market and street hawking, and the breakdown in social and family life.
The most critical factor however is visionless governance at the federal, state, and local government levels. Although education is on the Concurrent Legislative List, it is the states and the LGs that have the primary responsibility of driving primary and secondary education. They have failed to take the assignment seriously.
Nigeria has no business sharing this abhorrent pedestal. While India has a population of 1.41 billion and Pakistan 230.28 million as per UN data, Nigeria’s population of 216 million means almost 10 per cent of its people are headed for a lifetime of illiteracy. For a country with a literacy rate of just 62.02 per cent, all efforts should be geared towards achieving mass literacy, not nurturing another generation of illiterates.
“Education,” says the UN, “is the basic building block of every society. It is the single best investment countries can make to build prosperous, healthy, and equitable societies.” Access to quality education has been adopted as a fundamental human right and is the Sustainable Development Goal Number 4.
Successive Nigerian governments recognise its importance; over the years, they have adopted programmes to foster free, compulsory child education, culminating in the National Policy on Education 2004 and passage of the Child Rights Act 2003. This mandates nine years of compulsory schooling for children. Tellingly, some states have failed to domesticate the CRA. Not surprisingly, all are in the North, the region that hosts the largest number of out-of-school children and other dismal human development indices.
With the backing of the central government, all 36 states should implement measures to educate all children through well-planned mass education programmes to create a knowledge-driven society and economy. According to the UN, those deprived of schooling at an early age “are vulnerable to unemployment, poverty, early marriage, and pregnancy.” It cited factors that fuel drop-out rates to include poverty, gender, disability, family catastrophes, war, and conflict. Redemptive measures should therefore target solving these root causes.
Governors only pay lip service to education. Twenty-six of 36 states failed to provide the matching funds needed to access the N33.6 billion funding provided for rehabilitating basic schools by the Federal Government through the Universal Basic Education Fund between 2015 and 2021.
Nigeria domesticated the UN Convention on the Right of the Child, and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of a child by passing the CRA. But the law is not enforced. Child marriages stubbornly persist in the North. Save the Children International reported that 48 per cent of girls in the North were married before age 15, compared to the national average of 44 per cent of girls marrying before age 18.
Securing the country and making it safe for schooling should be a priority. UNICEF reported that 1,436 schoolchildren and 17 teachers were abducted from their schools and 16 others lost their lives in 2020 across the country. Abduction of pupils and teachers has disrupted schooling in Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi, Bauchi, Plateau and Taraba states. Some major abductions included the April 2014 kidnap of 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, 300 pupils snatched in Damasak (both Borno State); 110 pupils in Dapchi, Yobe State; 344 pupils in Kankara, Katsina State; 276 pupils in Jangebe, Zamfara State; 140 students in Chikun, Kaduna State and 102 pupils in Yauri, Kebbi State.
But the out-of-school phenomenon is spreading beyond the North. The South-West region, once a Third World ‘poster boy’ for progressive mass education strides, has fallen sharply behind, doing poorly in school enrolment, external examinations and hosting a growing army of out-of-school children. The region’s governors must sit up.
At the national and sub-national levels, there should be a renewed emphasis on free, compulsory primary and secondary education. Teachers should be trained, motivated and recruited in adequate numbers. Schools should be well-funded and equipped.
The old Western Region consistently spent over 50 per cent of its budget prosecuting its free primary education programme. The defunct Eastern Region similarly devoted substantial funds to education and training. Achieving 100 per cent literacy rate should be a national objective; the country should meet and surpass the literacy rates of other emerging economies like Indonesia 95.66 per cent; Kenya 81.54 per cent; Ghana 79.04 per cent; India 74.37 per cent, and Morocco 73.75 per cent.
Education is the foundation for any country desiring a productive population. Nigeria should take urgent steps, as an army of uneducated youths will become a burden in future if left unattended to.
The 1999 Constitution enjoins the government to ensure equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels. A study at the University of Hong Kong Curriculum Studies Department found that the provision of mass qualitative education played a key role in the transition to industrialisation of the Asian Tigers’ economies. To meet its development aspirations, Nigeria’s governments should immediately pursue policies to eradicate illiteracy at all levels within the shortest possible time.

11 Funny Details in Movies That Might Have Escaped Your Attention
One of my favorite things to research is funny movie details that directors and actors slip into films.
And there are more than you’d think if you take the time to look them up!
Here are 11 Easter eggs that you probably didn’t notice in films.
1. Product placement.
He’s pretty clever…
In Free Guy (2021), you can see a bottle of gin labelled "Subtle Product Placement". This is actually a bottle of Aviation Gin…a brand which is partially owned by Ryan Reynolds. from MovieDetails
2. This is great.
The guy knows how to bowl.
In The Big Lebowski (1998), Jesus Quintana is wearing rings from the American Bowling Congress that certify his ability to roll a perfect 300 game, a 299 game and an incredibly difficult 800 series. Those rings tell you that creep can roll. from MovieDetails
3. It’s all connected.
That’s really cool!
In Step Brothers (2008), Brennan Huff has a Hugalo’s Pizza sign which is the restaurant Will Ferrell’s character Ricky Bobby works at in Talladega Nights from MovieDetails
4. I see what you did there…
Nice one…
In ‘Don’t Look Up’ (2021), astronomers appear on a ‘Morning Joe’-style cable news talk show. Though not explicitly noted as liberal, their logo reflects their slant. A clever detail! from MovieDetails
5. Who knew?!?!
Runs in the family.
In Mr Bean’s Holiday (2007), the girl with the stereo is played by Lily Atkinson, the daughter of Rowan Atkinson. In the movie, she is also named Lily. from MovieDetails
6. Sailing to the new world.
This is cool.
In The Truman Show (1998) the boat that Truman sails on to escape is named Santa Maria, the same name of one of Christopher Columbus’ ships, signifying that Truman is heading to a “New World” from MovieDetails

You better believe it!
Rewatching Scary Movie (2000) 🤣 never noticed this before 🤣 from MovieDetails
8. Look closely.
Do you see it?

9. From the streets.
You get me.
In Licorice Pizza (2021), Bradley Cooper portrays real life eccentric movie producer Jon Peters, who tells the main character "they’re both from the streets." This is a reference to a story Kevin Smith told of his encounter with Jon during the early stages of the canceled "Superman Lives" movie from MovieDetails
10. Ever notice that?
I bet you didn’t!
In Home Alone (1990) when they counted the people for the trip they say there’s 17 people in total. An odd number between two vans means they will be split 8/9. Since Kevin was missing both vans had 8 people instead, making each group assume they were on the 8-people van, not suspecting a thing from MovieDetails
11. A run on shovels.
That’s called price-gouging.
In Don’t Look Up (2021) Shovels are $599.99 as people have panic-bought them to assumingly build bunkers. from MovieDetails

Biden Celebration of Economy Skips Inflation That Haunts It
(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden ignored worse-than-expected US inflation data that roiled markets during a planned celebration for his signature climate-and-tax law.

Ugly Selloff Pushes Stocks Down Most Since 2020: Markets Wrap
The World’s Hottest Housing Markets Are Facing a Painful Reset
The law Biden celebrated Tuesday is called the Inflation Reduction Act, and the White House has repeatedly said tackling inflation -- a political liability for Democrats before the November midterms -- is the president’s top priority. But after the Labor Department reported, hours before the event on the South Lawn of the White House, that price growth accelerated from July to August, Biden largely focused elsewhere in his remarks: curbing climate change, defeating the drug lobby, his Republican opposition, even guns.
“I believe Republicans could have and should have joined us on this bill,” Biden said during the ceremony that took on a party-like atmosphere with a large crowd and musical performances.
He didn’t mention the latest inflation data at all during his wide-ranging speech.
As Biden was speaking, a broad-based selloff sent equities to their worst day in more than two years as fears mounted that the Federal Reserve will adopt an even more aggressive pace of monetary tightening.
Republicans leveled fresh attacks at Biden’s economic policies and accused the White House of political tone-deafness.
“They could not look more out of touch if they tried,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday.
“Biden and Democrats throwing themselves a party for raising taxes on families during a recession proves just how out of touch they are,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.
Asked on Tuesday evening if he was worried about inflation, Biden said, “I’m not, because we’re talking about one-tenth of one percent.”
“The stock market doesn’t necessarily reflect the state of the economy, as you well know,” he told reporters after voting in Wilmington, Delaware. “The economy is still strong, unemployment is low, jobs are up, manufacturing is good. So I think we’re gonna be fine.”
Earlier in the day, Biden said in a statement that the latest data showed “progress” toward curbing price gains but acknowledged more work is needed.
“Today’s data show more progress in bringing global inflation down in the US economy,” Biden said, hailing a drop in gas prices and adding, “It will take more time and resolve to bring inflation down.”
Headline consumer prices increased in August by 0.1%, hotter than a forecast decline of the same figure. Core inflation, a measure that strips out volatile fuel and food costs and is closely watched by the Fed, rose by 0.6%, double the forecast. Year-over-year inflation dropped for the second month, to 8.3%, but also exceeded the forecast of 8.1%.

Tuesday’s price growth report is a sign of a persistent headwind facing Biden and Democrats before the Nov. 8 midterms and cuts against other positive economic data that boosted their prospects for retaining control of at least one chamber of Congress.
They’ve scrambled to ease price pressures by trying to tackle supply chain woes, releasing crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and passing a tax-and-spending package aimed at cooling inflation in the long run.
The effect of the law passed by Democrats last month -- without any Republican support -- will take years to fully sink in and have only a modest impact on price gains.
The White House event was scheduled weeks ago as the US saw a steady decline in gasoline prices, which have dropped to an average of $3.71 a gallon nationally from a high of $5.02 in June.
That drop, though, was offset by price hikes elsewhere, including in shelter costs. The August increase brought shelter inflation over the last 12 months to 6.3%, the highest over any such stretch since 1986.

While the decline in gasoline prices has tempered what would otherwise have been even hotter price growth, Biden is not out of the woods there, either.
US officials worry that a rebound in oil prices could be coming if European Union sanctions due to kick in later this year aren’t accompanied by other measures, such as a price cap on the purchase of Russian oil.

Society’s relationship with the idea of celebrity is quite complicated, mainly in the sense that negative press is just as salacious in comparison to the good news — actually, greater in most cases!
From Kanye teasing breach of contract battles with both adidas and Gap, to the hair-raising allegations of child molestation being thrown at comedians Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears, let’s just say a lot is currently happening on a legal front when it comes to many of our melanated entertainers.
A lot of people on social media have been expressing similar sentiments as the Twitter user above in regards to the lawsuit against Haddish and Spears. It’s the latest example of bright talents in the industry over the years that somehow found the misfortune of making a turn down the wrong path. Murder, sexual assault, perjury, child endangerment, spousal abuse — you name it, there’s a good chance we can name someone famous that’s been accused of the allegation.
At a time when everything is being put on front street, we look back on some of the most shocking celebrity lawsuits that won’t be slipping our minds anytime soon. Some were found guilty as charged, while others surprisingly got off scott-free. Each of these cautionary tales however teaches us the valuable lesson that crime simply doesn’t pay, even for the rich and famous.
Take a look at 7 shocking celebrity lawsuits that will forever be etched in the minds of the general public, including a now-infamous Bronco ride that led to the trial of the century, a handful of musicians that disappointed their fanbases and a hate crime hoax that even ruined one TV star’s career:
7 Shocking Celebrity Lawsuits We Won’t Soon Forget was originally published on blackamericaweb.com
1. Michael Jackson
Source:GettyThe 2005 trial, which ended in a not guilty verdict, ultimately proved that many were simply out for the King Of Pop’s massive fortune. However, the allegations of child sex abuse leveraged against him have sadly even haunted his posthumous legacy.
2. R. Kelly
Source:GettyWhat was seen as injustice back in 2008 when Kellz was acquitted in a now-infamous child pornography case has since been rectified with recent charges for the same thing that resulted in a decades-long conviction. It’s still unbelievable he even got off in the first place.
3. Travis Scott
Source:GettyWhile the Rodeo emcee himself didn’t physically cause deaths that occurred in the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy, many saw his lack of action and overall rage-centric behavior at past shows as reason to put the blood on his hands. He’s still doing damage control to get the general public back on his side.
4. Mo’Nique
Source:GettyStanding up for what you believe and know is right came full-circle with this example of Mo’Nique’s discrimination lawsuit against Netflix. Not only was she able to settle, but her new comedy special with the streaming giant premieres in late 2022. Let’s go, Mo!
5. Jussie Smollett
Source:GettyMany of us were raised to never tell a lie, but sadly it appeared that Smollett missed that schoolyard lesson with his horrid 2019 hate crime hoax that spent years in the headlines. He’s was found guilty, sentenced to 150 days in prison and then surprisingly got released less than a week later by the appeals court. Not only is this one shocking, but add confusing to the list as well!
6. Blac Chyna
Source:GettyRay J is the latest to try and go up against the Kardashians, but he may want to look at Blac Chyna as an example before going full force. Her entanglement with Rob Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and OG baby daddy Tyga that sparked the multimillion-dollar lawsuit, which eventually got dismissed, still feels like a reality TV script gone terribly wrong.
7. O.J. Simpson
Source:Jean-Marc Giboux/LiaisonWatch the countless documentaries, or the award-winning 2016 FX series, if you want a full discourse on why this moment will forever be burned into the memories of everyone who was alive to witness the events in-motion. The fact that Simpson is a free man today and working on his second act is the most shocking thing outside of Nicole Brown Simpson’s gruesome 1994 murder.

INDEX, Wash. (AP) — The growth of a wildfire northeast of Seattle near Stevens Pass has slowed, allowing mandatory evacuations to be eased for the town of Index, Washington, days after the blaze sent residents and hikers scrambling to leave.
Officials said Tuesday afternoon that movement of the Bolt Creek Fire had slowed in the past 24 hours and that residents of Index could return home. Those residents should be set to leave again at a moment’s notice if conditions change, officials added. Mandatory evacuations remained for Grotto and Baring.
The fire started Saturday about 1.5 miles north of Skykomish during hot, dry and windy conditions forecasters warned could result in explosive fire growth. Smoke from the fast-growing fire dropped ash in Everett and blew smoke into Seattle.
As of Tuesday, the fire had burned about 14.75 square miles (38 square kilometers) and in places had burned down to U.S. Highway 2, which remained closed in that area. The highway remains unsafe to travel because of rock fall and fire debris, officials said.
The cause of the fire, which was 5% contained Tuesday, is under investigation, officials said.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.

BOSTON (AP) — Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 56th home run of the season on Tuesday night.
The opposite-field solo drive to right field off Nick Pivetta in the sixth inning tied New York’s matchup with the rival Red Sox at 3-3. He also has a single.
It was the first homer Judge has hit in six games. He entered hitting .307 with a 1.090 OPS. He had a 1.189 OPS since Aug. 1, with 30 RBIs in 37 games.
New York opened the two-game series with a 5½-game lead in the AL East.

WASHINGTON — The National Archives is still not certain that it has custody of all Donald Trump’s presidential records even after the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago club, a congressional committee said in a letter Tuesday.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform revealed that staff at the Archives on an Aug. 24 call could not provide assurances that they have all of Trump’s presidential records. The committee in the letter asked the Archives to conduct an assessment of whether any Trump records remain unaccounted for and potentially in his possession.
“In light of revelations that Mr. Trump’s representatives misled investigators about his continued possession of government property and that material found at his club included dozens of ‘empty folders’ for classified material, I am deeply concerned that sensitive presidential records may remain out of the control and custody of the U.S. Government,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, wrote in the letter.
The House committee has jurisdiction over the Presidential Records Act, a 1978 law that requires the preservation of White House documents as property of the U.S. government. The request is the latest development in a monthslong back-and-forth between the agency and the committee, which has been investigating Trump’s handling of records.
The request also comes weeks after the FBI recovered more than 100 documents with classified markings and even more than 10,000 other government documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The search came after lawyers for Trump provided a sworn certification that all government records had been returned.
Maloney and other Democratic lawmakers on the panel have been seeking a briefing from the National Archives, but haven’t received one due to the Justice Department’s ongoing criminal investigation into the matter.
But the letter notes a call between Archives staff and the committee on Aug. 24, where lawmakers were informed that documents could still be missing.
As a result, Maloney wrote, the committee is asking the agency to conduct an “urgent review” of all of the government records that have been recorded from the Trump White House to determine whether any additional records remain unaccounted for and potentially in the possession of the former president.
In addition, the committee also asked for the Archives to get a personal certification from Trump “that he has surrendered all presidential records that he illegally removed from the White House after leaving office.”
The committee is asking the Archives to provide an initial assessment of this review by Sept. 27.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KARK) – A man shot over the weekend at a Little Rock, Arkansas, apartment complex has been identified as the father of a reality television star.
Ronald Dunlap, 49, is the father of Cassadee Dunlap, who starred in the second season of “Cheer.” A police report showed he was shot several times after going into the wrong apartment early Saturday morning.
A family member told Nexstar’s KARK that Dunlap thought it was his apartment, but he actually lived in a different building.
Joshua Womack told KARK he was asleep and heard knocking on the door shortly after 3 a.m., but then the situation escalated.
“I heard a big, loud thud through the front door,” Womack said. “The door was actually knocked off the hinges. With that, he ended up bum-rushing it. It wasn’t like an accidental walk-in.”
Police said Womack shot Dunlap several times after reportedly finding the man in his kitchen.
Womack said he is temporarily living elsewhere while the scene is being investigated. Another person’s apartment door was struck by gunfire, but no other injuries were reported.
A police spokesperson told TMZ Dunlap is believed to have been intoxicated when he came to Womack’s apartment.
Dunlap’s family member said he is now stable and expected to survive.
No charges have been filed as of Tuesday.

Toremifene Market Size, Industry Demand, Global Industry, Emerging Trend, Analysis, Forecast to 2032
The Global Toremifene Market reach USD 2.05 Billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2032.
PUNE, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA, September 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Toremifene Market to Grow at a CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2032The Global Toremifene Market reach USD 2.05 Billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2032, according to a recent global market study by Quince Market Insights. Toremifene is a nonsteroidal selective estrogenic receptor modulator of the first generation that is used to treat certain breast tumours. A nonsteroidal selective estrogenic receptor modulator (SERM) of the first generation that is structurally similar to tamoxifen. It is an estrogen agonist for bone tissue and cholesterol metabolism, similar to tamoxifen, however, it is antagonistic for mammary and uterine tissue. Toremifene is an antineoplastic hormonal drug that is mostly used to treat advanced breast cancer. Toremifene is a nonsteroidal drug that has been shown in animal studies to have significant antiestrogenic effects. Its capacity to compete with estrogen for binding sites in target tissues such as the breast may explain its antiestrogenic effects. Toremifene suppresses the production of rat mammary carcinoma caused by dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) and induces the regression of DMBA-induced tumours that have already formed. Toremifene appears to produce anticancer effects in this rat model by binding to estrogen receptors. Toremifene competes with estradiol for estrogen receptor protein in cytosols obtained from human breast adenocarcinomas.
Toremifene is a triphenylethylene derivative that is not steroidal. Toremifene binds to estrogen receptors and can have estrogenic, antiestrogenic, or both effects depending on the length of therapy, animal species, gender, target organ, or endpoint chosen. Toremifene's antitumor effect in breast cancer is thought to be mostly owing to its antiestrogenic activities, or its capacity to compete with estrogen for binding sites in cancer, so preventing estrogen's growth-stimulating effects. Toremifene may potentially decrease tumor growth by additional mechanisms such as apoptosis induction, oncogene expression modulation, and growth factors.
In 2020, 685 000 people worldwide died and 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer will be the most common cancer in the world by the end of 2020, when 7.8 million women will still be living who had received a diagnosis within the previous five years. In comparison to other cancer types, breast cancer causes more women to lose disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). In every nation in the world, women can develop breast cancer at any age after puberty, but rates rise as people age these factors will help the market.

Date of assessment: 9 September 2022
Overall risk and confidence (based on information available at the time of assessment)
Level of confidence in the available information: Moderate
Level of overall risk: High
Overall Risk statement
In the Region of the Americas, as of 9 September 2022, a total of 33,162 confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported in 31 countries and territories of the Region, indicating a rapid geographical spread in the Region. Moreover, currently the Region of the Americas has reported the highest proportion of confirmed cases for the past seven consecutive weeks, surpassing the cumulative number of cases reported in Europe and representing 58% of the cases reported globally.
In the Region of the Americas, among 5,764 cases with data available on gender and age, 98% are male between 18 and 44 years old; and 61 cases were reported among under 18-year-olds in 7 countries of the Region; of those 62% (38 cases) were reported in Brazil, all recovered. Among 3,234 cases with available information on sexual behaviour, 86% (2,798 cases) identified themselves as men who have sex with men (MSM) and of these, 52% (1,441 cases) are HIV-positive. A total of 177 cases were reported among women, of those 5 are pregnant. Among 2,374 cases with available information on the exposure setting, 91% were reported with unknown exposure setting and 4 cases were exposed during their work. Among 3,527 cases with available information on occupation, 7% (259 cases) are healthcare workers, and only one of them has been exposed at work, the rest of the cases are being investigated to determine if the infection was caused by occupational exposure.
Additionally, out of 10,138 cases with available information on hospitalization, 11% were hospitalized, of which 4% were hospitalized for isolation purposes, 0.1% for treatment, and 6% had no information available about the reason for hospitalization; 6 cases were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). As of 9 September 2022, a total of 2 confirmed deaths were reported in Brazil (1) and Cuba (1), and 4 additional deaths (in the United States of America (2), Brazil (1) and Peru (1)) are under investigation.
Additionally, 2 cases among indigenous people from the same community have been reported in Brazil, and outbreaks among inmates have been reported in the United States of America (a Harris County jail in Texas) and in Brazil (unverified report, under investigation). Considering the rapidly evolving situation in the Region, additional cases among risk groups might be reported and severe cases/deaths may occur.
The outbreak of monkeypox is ongoing and additional cases are expected to be identified as surveillance and laboratory capacity is implemented in the countries/territories within the Region of the Americas, and as healthcare-seeking behaviour and diagnosis is promoted among the most affected populations. Furthermore, the limited availability of vaccines and potential treatment as part of the main countermeasures for most of the countries/territories within the Region represents a challenge to control the outbreak in many countries/territories. Moreover, some countries and territories in the Region might have delays in assessing risk and implementing public health measures across all levels and sectors. Based on the currently available resources and considering the complex epidemiological situation and capacities of detection and response in countries/territories within the Region of the Americas, the overall risk at the Regional level is assessed as High.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Angels star Mike Trout's streak of consecutive games hitting a home run ended at seven, one shy of the major league record, and the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians beat Los Angeles 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Trout went 0 for 3 with three routine flyballs and a walk. The three-time AL MVP was chasing the mark of eight straight games with a home run, set by Pittsburgh’s Dale Long in 1956 and matched by Don Mattingly of the Yankees in 1987 and Seattle’s Ken Griffey Jr. in 1993.
Oscar Gonzalez’s two-run homer in the sixth broke a 1-all tie and gave Cleveland its fifth straight win. José Ramirez started the inning with a double and Gonzalez lined an 0-2 pitch from José Suarez (6-7) off the railing atop the wall in left field.
Gonzalez, one of several rookies who have made a major contribution in Cleveland’s surprising season, has eight home runs. Rookie Kirk McCarty (3-2) held Los Angeles to one hit in 3 2/3 innings for Cleveland, which has won seven of eight.
Emmanuel Clase gave up a two-out single in the ninth, but struck out Matt Duffy and converted his 35th save in 38 chances
Trout faced rookie Cody Morris in his first two at-bats. He flied out to center in the first and drew a four-pitch walk in the third with a runner on second.
Trout batted against McCarty, another rookie, in the fifth and flied out to center on a 3-2 pitch after the first three pitches were balls. Trout flied out to right against James Karinchak on a 2-1 pitch in the eighth.
Trout was the first AL player with a seven-game home run streak since Kendrys Morales of Toronto in 2018. Cincinnati’s Joey Votto homered in seven straight last season from July 24-30.
Matt Thaiss hit a leadoff homer in the second off Morris. Luke Maile’s sacrifice fly tied the game in the fifth.
Angels third baseman Matt Duffy fielded Myles Straw’s grounder in the fifth, but couldn’t get the ball out of his glove after two attempts and the play went for a hit.
Steven Kwan followed with a slow roller that came to a stop halfway up the third base line for another infield hit. Plate umpire John Tumpane, bending over to get a closer look, gave the fair signal as Thaiss, whose only hope was for the ball to roll foul, looked on.
Suarez struck out Amed Rosario to end the inning.
Morris, making his third major league start, allowed one run, walked five and struck out four in 2 2/3 innings.
Angels infielder David Fletcher didn’t start for the third day in a row because of a bruised right hand. Fletcher batted for Andrew Velazquez and bunted for a hit in the fifth. He also bunted for an out in the seventh.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Angels: RHP Shohei Ohtani is on schedule to start Saturday against Seattle. He was removed because of a blister on his right index after five innings in his last start against Houston.
Guardians: RHP Aaron Civale (right forearm inflammation) could rejoin the rotation on Sept. 20. He’s expected to pitch on a rehab assignment late this week.
UP NEXT
LHP Patrick Sandoval (5-9, 2.98 ERA) will start the series finale for the Angels on Wednesday afternoon. RHP Cal Quantrill (12-5, 3.50 ERA) will start for the Guardians. Quantrill is 12-0 in 40 career games at Progressive Field and has gone 32 straight home starts without a loss.

More than five million people viewed Queen Elizabeth’s final flight online, as the journey carrying the late monarch’s body from Edinburgh to London became the most tracked flight in history.
Flight tracking website Flightradar24 said 4.79 million people watched the flight live online, with a further quarter of a million watching on its YouTube channel.
The company said an unprecedented six million people tried to follow the flight within the first minute of the Boeing C17A Globemaster turning on its transponder at Edinburgh’s airport, affecting the stability of the platform.
Those stability issues were reported elsewhere as website crashes, as people jumped on to watch Her Majesty’s final flight.
“Seventy years after her first flight as Queen aboard the BOAC Argonaut ‘Atalanta’, Queen Elizabeth II’s final flight is the most tracked flight in Flightradar24 history,” Flightradar24’s director of communications said in an email.
Elizabeth, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, died in Balmoral, Scotland, on September 8. Her funeral will take place on September 19.
Flightradar24 said the flight was more than twice the previous record of 2.2 million - when US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi flew on a controversial visit to Taiwan in August.
The Queen’s coffin was taken to Edinburgh for a series of poignant ceremonies.
It was flown to London and taken to Buckingham Palace, where Charles and all the senior members of the royal family have gathered - the first time they have all been together since the monarch died.
“It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys,” said Princess Anne, 72, who flew down from Scotland alongside her mother’s coffin.
“Witnessing the love and respect shown by so many on these journeys has been both humbling and uplifting.”
The Queen’s death, at the age of 96, has plunged the nation into mourning for a monarch who had reigned for 70 years.
Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of London in driving rain to watch as the oak coffin, covered by the Royal Standard flag, was taken by hearse from an air force base to the palace.
Inside the palace to receive it were her children, grandchildren and their spouses, along with the children of Elizabeth’s late sister Margaret.
The coffin was taken overnight to the Bow Room where a rota of chaplains will keep watch over it.

BENNINGTON — A tiny forest of political signs that sprouted on public land during the August primary season has spurred a new policy in Bennington that prohibits them.
“The proliferation of political signage this year has been incredible, and quite an eyesore in many cases, as far as the clusters of signs on public property,” Town Manager Stuart Hurd told the Select Board Monday.
After discussion of the problem during a prior board meeting, Hurd said Assistant Town Manager Daniel Monks researched the town’s legal options and learned that “the law allows us to prohibit any signage on public property.”
ALL PUBLIC LAND
The prohibition would cover parks, town building sites, and street or road rights-of-way, Hurd said, but not private land.
“The staff strongly recommends that you adopt this,” he said, and the board unanimously agreed.
But before the vote, board member Jim Carroll asked whether the ban would encompass signs that might be placed by a human service or medical service provider directing people to services.
In that case, Hurd said, the town could approve such a sign and would then agree to place it. In effect, he said, the sign would be “placed by the town.”
Under the policy, the town would have authority to approve or reject all signs, he said.
TEXT OF POLICY
The new policy states:
Signs prohibited on public property
“Except for signs owned and/or maintained by the Town of Bennington, signs of any kind, including but not limited to political campaign signs, are prohibited on all public property.
Definitions
“Sign: Any sign, display, or representation which is intended to be visible from a public right-of-way.
“Public Property: Any property owned, leased, held, controlled, and/or maintained by the Town of Bennington, including but not limited to, public parks, highway rights-of-way, public facilities, and municipal buildings and infrastructure.
“Political Campaign Sign: Any sign with the name, image, or likeness of a candidate for public office.”
Prior to the board’s vote Monday, it appeared that most, if not all political signs placed during the primary election on town rights of way had already been removed.

Parents and community activists gathered outside a Loudoun County School Board meeting on Tuesday to demand “an end to the racist and divisive ideologies being infused into the government schools.”
Loudoun County has become the nerve center for parental activism in recent years, driving debates over critical race theory that have bled over to the rest of the United States.
“Parents woke up and realized that their school systems, the administrators, the school boards, are more focused on politics than they are doing their jobs,” Ian Prior, the executive director of Fight For Schools, said at Tuesday’s protest.
Loudoun County parents have been credited by many for boosting Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to victory in last year’s election, along with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears. Sears, a military veteran and an immigrant, is also the first Black woman elected statewide in Virginia.
Youngkin signed an executive order on his first day in office to “end the use of inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, and to raise academic standards.”
Other parent advocacy groups, including Army of Parents and Moms for Liberty, also joined Tuesday’s protest, as well as Hung Cao, a retired Navy Capt. running for Virginia’s 10th congressional district as a Republican.
“As your congressman, I will take all the political agenda out of the schools,” Cao said Tuesday. “I will do that so that you, the parents, have control over what your children do, what they learn.”

Tuesday’s gathering was referred to as the “ERACED Rally.” Another group held a nearby demonstration dubbed the “EmbRACE don’t erase Protest.”
“Now we MUST show why social emotional learning, CRT, and talking about race and racism are important,” the hosts wrote on a Facebook event for the rally. “We cannot let this anti-education rhetoric to go unchallenged. We must stand up for our Black and POC students.”

Ukrainian troops have piled pressure on retreating Russian forces, pressing deeper into occupied territory and sending more Kremlin troops fleeing ahead of the counteroffensive that has inflicted a stunning blow on Moscow’s military prestige.
As the advance continued, Ukraine’s border guard services said the army took control of Vovchansk – a town just 3km from Russia, seized on the first day of the war.
Russia acknowledged that it has withdrawn troops from areas in the north-eastern region of Kharkiv in recent days.
Russian troops were also abandoning the southern city of Melitopol and heading toward Moscow-annexed Crimea, the city’s pre-occupation mayor said.
Columns of military equipment were reported at a checkpoint in Chonhar, a village marking the boundary between the Crimean peninsula and the Ukrainian mainland, Mayor Ivan Fedorov wrote on Telegram.

AID FOR LIFE Announces Second Health & Services Fair for Immigrants and Asylum Seekers Taking place on 9/24/2022 in NYC
AID FOR LIFE, in partnership with the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, Launches Second Health & Services Fair for Immigrants and Asylum Seekers.
NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES , September 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AID FOR LIFE (AFL), in partnership with the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, Fundación Fernando Albán, Hispanic Health Network, and many other organizations, will come together for the second Health and Services Fair, which will become part of a series of scheduled events that will be prepared to have in mind the needs of our newly arrived Immigrants and Asylum seekers in NYC.
The event will take place on Saturday, September 24, 2022, from 10 AM – 1 PM ET at Saint Teresa’s Church located on 141 Henry Street, New York, New York, 10002. This fair is open to the public and will provide clothing donations and essential health care, legal, and education services.
These immigrants and asylum seekers represent the recent wave of immigrants coming predominantly from South America, with children of all ages and adults who have made their way through the Darien Jungle on the border between Colombia and Panama: one of the world’s most dangerous migration routes, a remote, roadless crossing that consists of more than sixty miles of dense rainforest, steep mountains, and vast swamps. Over the past few years and most recently, it has become a leading transit point for a large majority of South American migrants who are fleeing poverty, economic and political changes, and the lasting impact of COVID-19. They seek work, healthy conditions, and safety for their children, families, and their own lives in the United States.
“A unique place is being created where new Spanish-speaking immigrants can obtain information, linkage to services, and needed clothing, especially as winter approaches. This is about working together— city government and local faith and community-based organizations who have come together to receive new members of our New York City neighborhoods and communities. —stated Jesus Aguais, President and founder of AID FOR LIFE.
This wave of new immigrants is becoming part of New York City and New York State. They represent an essential and diverse share of their local communities. New York City is a city of immigrants that welcomes newcomers with open arms, which has made our city a beacon of freedom for people worldwide and its economic and cultural powerhouse.
How can you help?
1- Donate your gently used clothes, food, or goods. For more information, contact Alicia Molina at AMolina@aidforaids.org
2- Volunteering. For more information, contact Meudy Osio at MOsio@aidforlifeintI.org

About AID FOR LIFE:
AID FOR LIFE (AFL) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to generating social impact and enhancing the lives of people at risk of social vulnerability in New York City and developing countries by implementing programs that increase their capacities, abilities and provide access to essential products that strengthen the wellbeing of their communities.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s savage message to NBA players hating on him
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant knows a number of players hate him because of his attitude, but as usual, he couldn’t care less about what they think.
At the end of the day, Morant knows he can beat those players in basketball, and that’s all that matters.
Speaking on The Pivot, Morant was asked if he people and NBA players respect his game now. He admitted that he feels like they do, but the Grizzlies guard also pointed out that some “dislike” him because of his behavior and antics on the court.
“Just because I’m me and I speak on whatever I want to and say what I’m feeling at the time that some people don’t like me. So that’s why I bust their ass,” Morant said.
To be fair, Ja Morant’s antics on the court are not for everyone. While some enjoy it and see it as entertainment, it’s not surprising that many see his dancing and other taunts as “cringey” and just plain disrepsectful.
But at the end of the day, it’s Morant just being true to himself. He won’t be the electrifying player that we know him to be if he doesn’t show that swag and confidence. Besides, love him or hate him, he has proven to be one of the best players in the NBA today.
Don’t expect Morant to change any time soon. Instead, better be ready to face him head-on, especially if you’re a hater.

CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa (WTAJ) – State Rep. Frank Burns, D-Cambria, is urging any local pre-apprenticeship programs to consider applying for state grants of up to $250,000 as part of a $2.5 million Schools-to-Work Program.
“In the past I’ve been successful in securing funding for student training programs that are designed to give our students a leg-up on post-school career opportunities,” Burns said. “It is critical that we continue to build that trained workforce pipeline, so that when employers look at Cambria County, they know we’re open and ready for business.”
The $2.5 million of available funding will be awarded in increments up to $250,000 to be used for classroom training, workplace visits, internships, apprenticeships, mentorships, employment opportunities, job shadowing and externships, as well as additional resources.
This round of Schools-to-Work funding follows two previous rounds of grants in recent months (more information on Round 1 and Round 2) totaling about $5.6 million to 24 programs.
Successful project applications should create career opportunities that lessen the gap between high school and employment or post-secondary education through the use of pre-apprenticeships.
Applicants must be registered with the department as a pre-apprenticeship program and be connected to a registered apprenticeship program that will be responsible for administering and operating a pre-apprenticeship program.
Get daily updates on local news, weather and sports by signing up for the WTAJ Newsletter
Additional details and the grant application for the Schools-to-Work grants can be found on the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s website. Applications for Round 3 of the Schools-to-Work grants are due by 4 p.m. on Oct. 12. Programs funded under Round 3 of Schools-to-Work grants will operate from June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2025.

URBANA — A St. Joseph woman who allegedly tried to steal merchandise from an Urbana store last week after the stolen credit card she was using to pay for it had been declined has been criminally charged.
Alisia M. Sigrist, 41, was charged Monday with burglary and possession of a stolen debit or credit card.
A Champaign County sheriff’s deputy’s report said that Sigrist had been arrested Saturday by a deputy for failing to show up in a separate criminal court case in which she had been charged with possessing a stolen vehicle in Champaign on July 4.
The deputy recognized Sigrist as having allegedly used a bank card on Sept. 7 that had been stolen from the vehicle of another St. Joseph woman.
The report said Sigrist admitted to the deputy that on Sept. 7, she got the card from a boyfriend and knew that it did not belong to him. She said she and the boyfriend selected several items at Farm & Fleet in Urbana that day and tried to buy them with the stolen card, but it was declined.
When the transaction could not be completed, Sigrist and the other man allegedly tried to push a cart filled with unpaid merchandise out of the store and were stopped by a loss-prevention officer.
If convicted of burglary, she faces penalties ranging from probation to three to seven years in prison.
Court records show Sigrist has the unresolved Class 2 felony for possession of a stolen vehicle from July and previous convictions for possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
Judge Brett Olmstead allowed Sigrist to remain free on her own recognizance and told her to return to court Nov. 29.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- A preliminary 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck near Santa Rosa, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The quake struck about 2.4 miles north-northeast of Santa Rosa, according to the USGS, and 7.8 miles southeast of Windsor in Sonoma County.
RELATED: 2.9 magnitude earthquake shakes the East Bay Sunday night
The Santa Rosa Fire Department tweeted that crews are responding to reports of "odors of gas, gas leaks, fire alarms as well as stuck elevators."
They say there are no reports of injuries at this time.
According to Meteorologist Drew Tuma, an M4.4 would be the strongest Bay Area earthquake in three years. The last one bigger was in 2019 when an M4.5 quake shook the East Bay.
He also says there is only a 6 percent chance after an earthquake that a larger one will follow in the next 72 hours.
There has been at least one aftershock since the initial quake which registered at 3.9 magnitude.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KARK) – A man shot over the weekend at a Little Rock, Arkansas, apartment complex has been identified as the father of a reality television star.
Ronald Dunlap, 49, is the father of Cassadee Dunlap, who starred in the second season of “Cheer.” A police report showed he was shot several times after going into the wrong apartment early Saturday morning.
A family member told Nexstar’s KARK that Dunlap thought it was his apartment, but he actually lived in a different building.
Joshua Womack told KARK he was asleep and heard knocking on the door shortly after 3 a.m., but then the situation escalated.
“I heard a big, loud thud through the front door,” Womack said. “The door was actually knocked off the hinges. With that, he ended up bum-rushing it. It wasn’t like an accidental walk-in.”
Police said Womack shot Dunlap several times after reportedly finding the man in his kitchen.
Womack said he is temporarily living elsewhere while the scene is being investigated. Another person’s apartment door was struck by gunfire, but no other injuries were reported.
A police spokesperson told TMZ Dunlap is believed to have been intoxicated when he came to Womack’s apartment.
Dunlap’s family member said he is now stable and expected to survive.
No charges have been filed as of Tuesday.

Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns joined Logan Paul on the latest edition of the Impaulsive podcast.
He discussed the rumored matchup against The Rock at WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood during the podcast and many other topics. During the conversation, The Tribal Chief discussed his battle with cancer that forced him to step away from WWE for some time.
Roman was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2007 and he had to take a hiatus for treament in 2018. Reigns made the announcement in October 2018 and returned to the company on RAW in February 2019.
Roman Reigns Discusses His Leukemia Diagnosis
The Head of the Table recalled being diagnosed with Leukemia during his brief stint in the NFL and said it was a shock to hear the word “cancer” at such a young age. Roman noted that the health issue put an asterisk next to his NFL career and it was an uphill battle following his diagnosis.
Technically we weren’t quite sure, this is where we saw the blood lapse that showed the elevated white blood cells which clearly says your body is attacking something, it’s fighting off something. So they were like yeah it could be anything Venereal disease, infection, cancer and all I heard was cancer, I’m like ‘Woah,’ it got super heavy.
So I compartmentalize emotions sometimes so I think it was just so overwhelming that it wasn’t even believable and even then it was like this was back in ’07 so this was years ago. So you hear about younger people with blood cancers more often now but back then a 21-year-old come straight out of college, a division one football player supposed to be kinda peak health right?
You never would expect that. So it put a huge asterisk next to my name when it came to the NFL. So it was just an uphill battle from there man.

AIER’s Everyday Price fell 1.3 percent in August after a 0.6 percent drop in July. Those were the first back-to-back declines since October and November 2020. From a year ago, the Everyday Price Index is up 11.1 percent. However, motor fuel prices more than accounted for the overall drop in August, offsetting significant increases in other key categories.
Motor fuel prices, which are often a significant driver of the monthly changes in the Everyday Price index because of the large weighting in the index and the volatility of the underlying commodity, sank 12.1 percent for the month, reducing the overall gain by 188 basis points (on a not-seasonally adjusted basis). Seven other components showed price declines in August, including a 1.4 percent drop in admissions prices, a 0.8 percent decline in intracity transportation, and a 0.3 percent fall in cable and satellite services. Still, their contributions to the overall index were quite small.
Price increases were led by domestic services (up 2.3 percent), recreational reading materials (2.1 percent), fees for lessons (1.8 percent), and pets and pet products (1.6 percent). The three largest positive contributors in August after motor fuel were household fuels and utilities (up 1.3 percent and contributing 19 basis points), food at home (up 0.7 percent and contributing 17 basis points), and food away from home (up 0.9 percent for the month and adding 13 basis points). A total of 15 categories had price increases versus eight showing declines.
The Everyday Price Index, including apparel, a broader measure that includes clothing and shoes, fell 1.1 percent in August. Over the past year, the Everyday Price Index, including apparel, is up 10.7 percent, the lowest since February.
Apparel prices rose 1.7 percent on a not-seasonally-adjusted basis in August. Apparel prices tend to be volatile on a month-to-month basis. From a year ago, apparel prices are up 5.1 percent.
The Consumer Price Index, which includes everyday purchases as well as infrequently purchased, big-ticket items and contractually fixed items, was unchanged on a not-seasonally-adjusted basis in August. Within the CPI, energy posted a 6.2 percent drop on a not-seasonally-adjusted basis while food had an 0.8 percent increase. Over the past year, the Consumer Price Index is up 8.3 percent.
The Consumer Price Index, excluding food and energy, rose 0.5 percent for the month (not seasonally adjusted) while the 12-month change came in at 6.3 percent. The 12-month change in the core CPI was just 1.3 percent in February 2021 and 2.3 percent in January 2020, before the pandemic.
After seasonal adjustment, the CPI rose 0.1 percent in August while the core increased 0.6 percent for the month. Within the core, core goods prices were up 0.5 percent in August and 7.1 percent from a year ago. Significant increases for the month were seen in household furnishings (1.1 percent), motor vehicle parts and equipment (1.1 percent), and new vehicles (0.8 percent), while video and audio products fell 1.6 percent and used cars and trucks posted a 0.1 percent drop.
Core services prices were up 0.6 percent for the month and 6.1 percent from a year ago. Among core services, gainers include health insurance (up 2.4 percent and 24.3 percent from a year ago), motor vehicle repair (1.7 percent and 9.1 percent from a year ago), motor vehicle insurance (up 1.3 percent for the month and 8.7 percent from a year ago), medical care (up 0.8 percent for the month and 5.6 percent from a year ago), rent of shelter (which accounts for 31.9 percent of the CPI, rose 0.7 percent for the month and 6.3 percent from a year ago).
Public transportation was one of the few significant categories to post a decline in August (-3.2 percent for August but still up 1.0 percent from a year ago). Within public transportation, airline fares fell 4.6 percent for the month but were up 33.4 percent from a year ago, and car and truck rentals fell 0.5 percent for the month and 6.2 percent from a year ago. Price pressures for many goods and services in the economy remain elevated due to shortages of supplies and materials, logistical and supply chain issues, and labor shortages and turnover. Sustained elevated price increases are likely distorting economic activity by influencing consumer and business decisions. Furthermore, price pressures have resulted in an aggressive Fed tightening cycle, raising the risk of a policy mistake. The fallout surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to disrupt global supply chains. All of these are sustaining a high level of uncertainty for the economic outlook. Caution is warranted.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bill Gates says the global hunger crisis is so immense that food aid cannot fully address the problem. What’s also needed, Gates argues, are the kinds of innovations in farming technology that he has long funded to try to reverse the crisis documented in a report released Tuesday by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Gates points, in particular, to a breakthrough he calls “magic seeds,” crops engineered to adapt to climate change and resist agricultural pests. The Gates Foundation on Tuesday also released a map that models how climate change will likely affect growing conditions for crops in various countries to highlight the urgent need for action.
In assigning technology a pre-eminent role in addressing the world’s food crisis, Gates puts himself at odds with critics who say his ideas conflict with worldwide efforts to protect the environment. They note that such seeds generally need pesticides and fossil fuel-based fertilizers to grow.
Critics also contend that Gates’ approach doesn’t address the urgency of the crisis. Developing “magic seeds” takes years and won’t immediately deliver relief to countries currently enduring widespread suffering because they rely on food imports or are experiencing historic droughts.
It’s a debate that could intensify international pressure to meet the shared goals for global prosperity and peace, known as the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, ahead of a 2030 deadline. The 17 goals include ending poverty and hunger, battling climate change, providing access to clean water, working toward gender equality and reducing economic inequality.
“It’s pretty bleak relative to our hopes for 2030,” Gates, 66, said in an interview with The Associated Press. He added, though, “I’m optimistic that we can get back on track.”
Gates pointed to the war in Ukraine and the pandemic as the main causes for the worsening hunger crisis. But his message to other donors and world leaders convening for the U.N. General Assembly this September is that food aid won’t be enough.
“It’s good that people want to prevent their fellow human beings from starving when conflicts like Ukraine interrupt the food supply,” Gates writes in the new report. But the real problem, he says, is that many food insecure countries don’t produce enough of their own food — a problem sure to be exacerbated by the consequences of climate change.
“Temperature keeps going up,” Gates said. “There is no way, without innovation, to come even close to feeding Africa. I mean, it just doesn’t work.”
As he has for more than 15 years, Gates called for investment in agricultural research, highlighting corn seeds that thrive at higher temperatures and in drier conditions than other varieties. Those seeds were developed under a program of the African Agricultural Technology Foundation to which the foundation has given $131 million since 2008.
Since then, the Gates Foundation has spent $1.5 billion on grants focused on agriculture in Africa, according to Candid, a nonprofit that researches philanthropic giving. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is by some measures the largest private foundation in the world and is best known for its work on global health, including vaccines. It began in its current form in 2000, after Gates left his CEO position at Microsoft, the tech giant he co-founded. Forbes estimates his net worth to be around $129 billion.
The foundation’s spending on agricultural development is why Gates’ view on how countries should respond to food insecurity has taken on heightened importance in a year when a record 345 million people around the world are acutely hungry. The World Food Program said in July that tally represents an increase of 25% from before Russia invaded Ukraine in February and a 150% jump from before the pandemic struck in the spring of 2020.
In Ghana, field trials for four varieties of modified seeds began in 2013. But only this past summer has one been approved for commercialization, said Joeva Rock of the University of Cambridge. Activists there, she said, have asked whether those resources could have been better spent elsewhere.
“What would happen if those went into increasing funds to the national research centers in Ghana, to building roads, to building storage, to building silos or helping to build markets?” said Rock, who has written a book about food sovereignty in the country.
When asked, Gates acknowledged the importance of infrastructure like roads and other transportation systems.
“If you want your inputs like fertilizer to come in, if you want your output to go out, it’s just too expensive in Africa without that infrastructure,” he said, adding that building and maintaining roads is highly expensive.
Some researchers question the wisdom of pursuing the fundamental premise that Gates has embraced: Increasing agricultural production through the use of modified seeds along with fertilizers and pesticides. They point to the environmental footprint of industrial agriculture, including the use of fossil fuel-based fertilizers, the degradation of soil quality and the diminishing of biodiversity.
Alternatives could include agroecological interventions, like developing locally managed seed banks, composting systems to promote soil health and pesticide interventions that don’t rely on chemicals, experts said. Over time, those approaches can reduce the need for food aid and build more resilient farming systems, according to Rachel Bezner Kerr, a professor of global development at Cornell University.
Kerr, a lead author of the food chapter of the latest report from the International Panel on Climate Change, said that while the panel doesn’t make recommendations, “overall, the kind of focus on a few technologies and reliance on fossil fuel-based inputs isn’t in line with ecosystem-based adaptation” or a biodiverse future.
Mark Suzman, CEO of the Gates Foundation, defends its approach warning that limiting access to fertilizers means farmers cannot increase their yields.
“Fertilizer is necessary. You simply cannot meet the overall productivity gains without it,” Suzman said, speaking on a call with reporters.
In his interview with the AP, Gates himself dismissed criticisms of the foundation’s emphasis on modified seeds.
“If there’s some non-innovation solution, you know, like singing ‘Kumbaya,’ I’ll put money behind it,” Gates said. “But if you don’t have those seeds, the numbers just don’t work.” He added, “If somebody says we’re ignoring some solution, I don’t think they’re looking at what we’re doing.”
Another project the foundation has funded is the development of computer models that try to measure crop loss caused by disease or pests. The idea is to direct research and responses to where they are needed most.
“It’s not just, how do we get through this crisis and get back to normal? It’s, what does the future normal look like?” said Cambria Finegold, the director of digital development for CABI, an intergovernmental nonprofit that is developing the models.
Melinda French Gates, the other co-chair of the Gates Foundation, highlighted in a separate letter the halting progress toward gender equity worldwide. Since January, the foundation has expanded its board, adding six new members to help direct its work, a move that followed the announcement of the Gateses’ divorce last summer.
French Gates has agreed to step down after two years if the two decided they could not continue to work together. French Gates, who also founded an investment organization called Pivotal Ventures, was not available for an interview.
Gates said he is lucky that his former wife has continued to put her time and energy into the foundation. In July, Gates said he would contribute $20 billion to the foundation in response to the significant setbacks caused by the pandemic, raising its endowment to approximately $70 billion.
Through his giving, investments and public speaking, Gates has held the spotlight in recent years, especially on the topics of vaccines and climate change. But he has also been the subject of conspiracy theories that play off his role as a developer of new technologies and his place among the highest echelons of the wealthy and powerful.
Gates said he does not spend time thinking about conspiracies and that his foundation’s work has nothing to do with his personal reputation.
“If you go into these countries, they’ve never heard of me or the foundation,” Gates said. “Maybe in the rich world somebody is reading some internet thing, but the people we care about have never, will never, and it’s not important that they ever know who I am.”

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. — Black and Hispanic Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools students saw progress on their English test scores at the end of last school year, but are still behind.
CMS says between September 2021 and May 2022, students testing at college and career levels went from 3.1% of students to 15.9%.
The school board wants at least 36% of all Black and Hispanic CMS students to test at the highest levels of end-of-year exams this school year.
"COVID, COVID, COVID," Jordan Boyd a CMS parent, said to CMS Board members, during public comment. "That's the mask and refrain that we're going to hide behind to continue to blame and use excuses for the abject failure that has happened to Black and Brown children.”
Boyd is also a member of the African American Faith Alliance For Educational Advancement. The Charlotte faith-based organization is critical of CMS due to its achievement gap between its white students and Black and Hispanic students.
Despite the short-term growth, CMS says not nearly enough Black and Hispanic students are scoring high enough on the end-of-year tests.
"These are very aggressive goals; I know these goals made staff nervous when we didn't bring them down," Elyse Dashew, CMS Board Chair said. "So we've got high expectations for our principals and teachers out there. But you all have high expectations for us."
When students were tested in September 2021, scores showed only 3.1% of Black and Hispanic students being college and career ready.
This was a dramatic plummet from test scores reflective of the 2020-21 school year, released in October 2021, that showed 15.9% of Black and Hispanic students were college and career ready.
The next time students took an end-of-year test, in May 2022, it showed the scores rose to 13.5% of Black and Hispanic CMS students being college and career ready.
"There's so much more than just the test that can affect children and how they show up that day, whether they're hungry, they're housing insecure, they're just many, many factors that are out of the hands of our children," CMS At-Large Board Member Jennifer De La Jara said.
CMS laid out these six strategies to increase the scores:
● English Language Arts (ELA) Core Instruction. Second- and third-grade teachers leverage district curriculum to implement standards-aligned, culturally responsive instruction in an engaging, affirming, and meaningful way, using current student data to inform teacher decisions.
● Intervention: Second- and third-grade students are screened to determine if they need interventions (academic, behavior, attendance). Black and Hispanic students in need of intervention will receive it.
● Highly Effective Teachers: Second- and third-grade students will have greater access to highly effective teachers.
● Professional Development: Targeted PD based on role, school needs, and individual growth needs, which includes all second- and third-grade reading teachers, instructional leaders, and school and district leaders is provided.
● Social and Emotional Support: Second and third-grade students will be prioritized for SEL support.
● Student Engagement: Identity, prioritize, and direct resources to second and third-grade students who have a history or current status of being chronically absent.
One strategy may prove a problem due to a teacher shortage.
"At this particular point in time, where we're bringing students back is a perfect storm and the pool for qualified teachers is shallow to none," CMS Interim Superintendent Hugh Hattabaugh said.
The district wants to put the hardships of the pandemic behind them and focus on accountability. In its reports, CMS says if scores don’t increase dramatically this school year they won’t reach their 36% target.

Radio station Triple M has confirmed that Wayne Carey is no longer a part of its AFL commentary team.
The station said on Wednesday that Carey had concluded his contract for 2022 and will not be back as part of its football team in 2023.
Carey was taken off-air by the station after he was ejected from Perth’s Crown Casino when a small bag containing a powdered substance fell out of his pocket while gambling late last month.
The former North Melbourne champion said the bag contained a legal painkiller, branded Aleve, which he took crushed up during dinner to manage his neck and shoulder injuries from his decorated career in the AFL.
Southern Cross Radio’s chief content officer Dave Cameron wished Carey well for his future.
“On behalf of Triple M we would like to thank Wayne for his services to our football commentary team, and we wish him the best for the future,” Cameron said.
Carey and Seven have agreed he would temporarily stand down as a TV commentator for AFL games while awaiting the outcome of a WA Police investigation into the incident.
Seven said on Wednesday it was still waiting for that investigation to conclude. WA Police said on Tuesday its investigation was ongoing.
In his first public appearance since the incident last Thursday night, Carey demanded a “thorough police investigation” into the incident.
Carey, who is also employed by The Age as a columnist, has retained legal firm Maurice Blackburn to assess whether he was unlawfully discriminated against because of a disability.

Seahawks rookie Tariq Woolen flashes bright future in win over Broncos
By Rob Rang
FOX Sports NFL Draft Analyst
From the moment he was measured at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, it seemed destined that Tariq Woolen would become a Seattle Seahawk.
While there is no evidence to suggest that coach Pete Carroll met Woolen with his shirt off — as he famously did during a combine meeting with DK Metcalf a few years earlier — the long-armed, uber-athletic cornerback was seemingly built in a laboratory for Carroll's scheme.
Nicknamed "Riq the Freak" at UT-San Antonio and now called "Avatar" by his new teammates in Seattle, Woolen is an athletic anomaly, boasting a combination of size and speed that no one — not even the 70-year-old Carroll — has ever come across.
As Carroll noted back in April after his club made Woolen the 153rd overall selection in the 2022 draft, Woolen offers unique traits.
"There's probably never been a guy that's as tall as this guy [and] as fast as this guy. … To be over 6-4 and to run 4.2-something is a crazy number," Carroll said.
Fans of the combine might remember Woolen. No one at his position and size has ever tested better. After measuring in a hair over 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Woolen recorded an electronically timed 4.26 seconds in the 40-yard dash and followed that up with a 42-inch vertical jump.
He certainly matched the prototype Carroll has prioritized during his time in Seattle, checking boxes with his elite athleticism, height and arm length. Among draftniks, the term "Seahawk-y" has actually become a familiar way of describing cornerbacks with arms over 32 inches and ball skills.
While Woolen was not especially productive as an interceptor during his two years at cornerback at UT-San Antonio — hauling in just two picks during that time — the former wide receiver can catch the ball cleanly, as he demonstrated during pre-draft workouts as well as at the Senior Bowl.
Woolen was characterized by Carroll as the "flashiest" player during Seattle's May minicamps. He kept up that play throughout training camp and the preseason, earning the start in Seattle's home opener Monday against the greatest quarterback in the franchise's history, Russell Wilson, who, of course, now plays for the Denver Broncos.
It wouldn't be accurate to describe Woolen as dominant in the Seahawks' 17-16 win over the Broncos. After all, he was twice flagged for pass interference penalties, with both giving Denver the ball inside Seattle's 10-yard line. But none of Wilson's 29 completions (on 42 attempts) Monday night came against the rookie, despite Woolen lining up against all three of the Broncos' primary receivers: Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and even slot receiver KJ Hamler and tight end Andrew Beck.
"You can't cover a guy any better than he did," Carroll said of Woolen during his exuberant postgame press conference. "He was calm, he was poised. He had a blast playing football."
Perhaps not surprising, Wilson attempted to pick on the rookie on his very first pass, but a catchable ball was mishandled by Beck and fell incomplete. The Broncos opted not to throw in Woolen's direction for the rest of the 11-play drive, which ultimately resulted in a Brandon McManus 30-yard field goal.
Rather than continue attacking the rookie, however, Wilson focused on his backs and tight ends. He did not complete a pass to a wide receiver in the first quarter. His only touchdown Monday came against Seattle's other rookie corner, reigning Thorpe Award winner Coby Bryant, who was drafted a round earlier by the Seahawks.
Woolen lined up against Denver's star split end Sutton (6-foot-3, 218) for most of the snaps on Denver's initial possession, but he also saw flanker Jeudy (6-foot-1, 193). Interestingly enough, the Broncos' duo is similar in size and style to the pair Woolen practices against each day in Seattle in Metcalf (6-foot-3, 228) and Tyler Lockett (5-foot-10, 182), with Sutton a gliding downfield presence whose large frame makes him almost impossible for most cornerbacks to handle one-on-one. Jeudy, on the other hand, is a silky smooth athlete, who changes directions fluidly and accelerates in a blink — as he showed in the breakaway 67-yard score in the second quarter.
It was the ability Woolen showed in practice defending Wilson's former receivers that gave Carroll confidence that the rookie could shine immediately.
"We played him a lot [this month], so he got a lot of reps through the three games, and he's been out here going against Marquise [Goodwin], DK and Tyler. He's hung in with all of those guys," said Carroll, a longtime secondary guru. "Those guys are as fast, as good, and as really a diverse talent that you can go against. He's ready to go."
Wilson attempted a second pass in Woolen's direction with approximately 50 seconds remaining in the half. This one coming against Hamler, who caught the ball but was clearly out of bounds.
While Wilson's throw was errant, Hamler had beaten Woolen on a double-move and was open. Perhaps sensing the time was right to attack the rookie, Wilson targeted him deep on the next route, trying to hit Sutton in the end zone. This, however, was an uncharacteristically poor decision by the nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback as he telegraphed the throw, allowing Seattle free safety Quandre Diggs to close and nearly intercept the ball.
Denver's strategy changed after halftime as the Broncos began targeting the rookie, first directing their rushing attack in his direction and then targeting him on a deep ball to Sutton.
Woolen is often compared to former Carroll protégé Richard Sherman. The similarities are obvious: Both are long, lanky former wide receivers turned cornerbacks who were drafted in the fifth round. One of the areas in which the two are quite different — at least at this stage — is that Woolen is very much a work in progress in run support, an area in which Sherman excelled throughout his brilliant 11-year NFL career.
Woolen has the long arms and competitiveness to eventually match Sherman's trademark ability to lasso ballcarriers in run support, but he does not yet possess the five-time All-Pro's awareness. On a 13-yard scamper by Melvin Gordon to the offense's left early in the third quarter, for example, Woolen didn't see Beck coming and got erased, opening up a gaping hole.
The Broncos went right back at the rookie a play later, with Wilson lofting a deep ball down into the left corner of the end zone to Sutton. Woolen got caught with his head facing the receiver, failing to turn and locate the ball quickly enough. There certainly was contact, earning the rookie a 31-yard pass interference penalty that put the ball down at the 9-yard line.
Denver could not take advantage of the field position, however, with veteran running back Gordon fumbling the ball at the one-yard line.
After Metcalf fumbled the ball back to the Broncos, Wilson again targeted the rookie, lofting a ball down the seam to Hamler. Woolen was beaten by the 5-foot-9, 178-pound slot receiver and pulled at the back of his jersey in an attempt to slow him down and recover.
While the ball drifted into the end zone, Woolen was hit with his second key pass interference. This 21-yard penalty put the ball at the Seattle 4-yard line. There, however, the Seahawks defense stiffened yet again, this time forcing a fumble from Javonte Williams.
Woolen may have taken some hard coaching from the Seahawks sideline after that drive, as he played with more attention to the run in the fourth quarter, ripping through an attempted block by a receiver and taking on the hard-running Williams at the line of scrimmage.
The collision was a big one, with Woolen getting the worst of it. Though he took on Williams aggressively and the rest of the cavalry brought the back down for a minimal gain, Woolen suffered an injury to his right arm, slinking off the field in obvious pain. He spent much of the remainder of Denver's drive — which ultimately resulted in another McManus field goal — in the medical tent.
He returned to the field for Denver's final drive, which ended with a McManus 64-yard field goal attempt that drifted just left, giving Seattle and its new star cornerback a surprising victory to wrap up a wild Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season.
Woolen was far from statistically dominant in this contest, finishing with just one assisted tackle and a pass breakup. Further, his two pass interference penalties could have (perhaps should have) been game-changers.
But the rookie earned the confidence of arguably the best defensive back evaluator in the NFL almost immediately, and Denver seemed hesitant to target him for much of the game — at least not the way most veteran quarterbacks would attempt to pick on most rookie cornerbacks.
And that's why I'm confident that the Seahawks have found themselves a burgeoning star in Tariq Woolen.

Jurgen Klopp says he wants to right Liverpool‘s woeful form by focusing on building a new defensive platform, and has spent the extended break since the club’s chastening defeat away at Napoli last Wednesday working towards that goal.
The Reds were comprehensively beaten 4-1 in southern Italy, with particularly poor individual performances from Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, although it was their overall ineffectiveness across the field of play which contributed significantly to their downfall.
With three draws, two defeats and two wins from their opening seven fixtures in the Premier League and Champions League, Klopp discussed his use of the extra training time ahead of Tuesday’s match at home to Ajax following the postponement of Saturday’s fixture with Wolves due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
“Yes we would have wanted to play [against Wolves],” Klopp told reporters in his press conference. “But for the reasons we all know it didn’t happen and of course we respect that. We tried to use the time for analysis and training which makes absolute sense after the game we played in Napoli.
“I watched the game back plenty of times and it was a real horror show. We showed the boys the situations as well. They knew [the mistakes they made], but seeing it again makes it really obvious. It’s the worst game we had since I’ve been here.
“In this game there was nothing [visible about the way we want to play]. You have to understand why that happens. Eight out of 11 were absolutely below their level, and the three others just had a normal game.
For Klopp, who has won every top-tier trophy available since taking over at Anfield in 2015, the disjointed nature of Liverpool’s displays has been concerning, and the way to begin making progress is to improve their defending before anything else.
Liverpool team news vs Ajax
Andy Robertson is out after picking up a knock against Napoli and will be absent until after the international break, Klopp said.
Fabio Carvalho is back in contention but Curtis Jones remains absent. Liverpool are also without Jordan Henderson (hamstring), Naby Keita (muscle), Ibrahima Konate (knee), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (muscle), Calvin Ramsay (back) and Caoimhin Kelleher (groin).
Klopp will hope to start Thiago Alcantara from the off after he came off the bench against Napoli last week. The Liverpool boss will also have to decide on a front three, while he is likely to drop Joe Gomez for Joel Matip.
Possibly starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Diaz.
“We had obvious football problems, and what led to these problems was a misjudgement of certain situations,” he explained. “In this game it looked like everyone wanted to solve the problem by himself, and that never gave us the structure to work together. We have to make sure we solve the problems together on the pitch.
“We have to follow a common idea again. Everything teams do in football is based on really solid defending, that’s how it all starts, that’s what we had to work on and that’s what we did. Now we have to build again in the training sessions. How you can get confidence in a football game? By winning challenges, that’s it. We all have to realise it all starts again with defending. If we do that we can get some kind of momentum, if we have momentum we can play good football.”
What has been going wrong?
The first thing to take note of is the use of that word “defending” rather than defence – Klopp is not looking at the deepest area of the pitch alone here, he is looking for better defending collectively. Subsequently, it’s important to identify why Liverpool have not been defending especially well so far this season, and the reasons are complex.
Of course, guaranteed starters like Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk have not been playing at anything like their usually high levels. The former has looked lethargic and at times disinterested, while the latter has been error-prone and sloppy. What’s more, injuries to Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip meant Gomez has had to play between the two, having barely done so in the past few years, seemingly making all three less sure of what is going on around them.
Something which has made both Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson less effective is the width of the forwards ahead of them – Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are closer to the by-line far more often than previously under Klopp, meaning the attacking width and creativity the full-backs used to provide is far less common.
Liverpool are having to do more defending than usual in part because the full-backs are already deep, opponents are not being penned into their own half, and it is easier for teams to start breaks of their own.
Then there is the midfield. The central player, Fabinho, has looked a jaded and exhausted version of himself so far this season, unable to break down attacks or provide the defence with the cover he typically has done. Couple that with the fact that Liverpool’s No 8s are playing higher up the pitch to fill the central areas vacated by Salah and Diaz, and there is precious little protection in front of the centre-halves and full-backs.
More generally, the spate of injuries, tiredness and lack of rotation options affecting the whole Liverpool squad is having a significant impact on the quality of defending.
Liverpool have gone behind in five of their seven matches so far this season, and the poor defending which is leaving them open is being caused by all of their systemic issues.
Are there possible solutions?
The injury to Konate, and a subsequent one to Robertson, means Klopp does not have the option of dropping a slew of players in defence and trying out new ones. At the moment, only five first-team defenders are fit to play.
One thing which would have helped is having a few extra days to train without the intensity of a matchday on Sunday. After competing on all four fronts right to the very end of the season last year, the Reds conducted a heavy pre-season programme which looks to have left the majority of the squad exhausted, and a small but welcome extra rest could benefit them in that regard.
Liverpool’s high line, a staple under Klopp which has defined their way of playing and has been a major reason for their success, has come in for criticism since the start of the season but is unlikely to be changed. The Reds use the high line to make the pitch smaller, to ensure they are in the opposition half, more often than not, and to keep control of the ball.
Dropping 10 or 20 yards might sound like it could make them harder to play against, but Liverpool would be altering their entire style of play in a way which would actually see them able to have less control of matches. When the high line defence works, the speed of the Reds’ centre-halves and one-on-one ability of Alisson Becker mean it makes total sense. They would be better served working hard to make the same system work again than destroying it.
The return of Thiago Alcantara, impressive in his cameo in Italy last Wednesday, could also help to improve Liverpool’s defending if he is able to give them more control of possession in midfield and to decrease the onus on Fabinho when the opposition are breaking with the ball. His presence makes the high line much more viable.
Something which could help, though it is not a tangible metric, is increased communication. Having attended six of the opening seven Liverpool fixtures, the lack of talking and encouragement in the defence and encouragement of one another has been noticeable, especially in comparison with the previous season. If Van Dijk in particular could talk to those around him throughout the matches more, the team as a whole could benefit.
Confidence in defending is something Liverpool are going to have build up over time, and key to that will be going through a run of matches where they don’t concede the first goal. In order to do so, the wide forwards could do with playing far closer to the goal, and the midfield needs to play much more intensely and aggressively from the start.
Despite a very impressive start to the season, Harvey Elliott is not able to help with the defensive work that the Liverpool midfield traditionally does under Klopp, and provides little cover for Alexander-Arnold on the right. Perhaps leaving the 19-year-old on the bench at the start of matches once more midfielders are available again could mean Liverpool are able to take more a foothold in games from the outset, and it still gives them an excellent option among the substitutes should they need him.
The reality is that, with so many players injured or fatigued, it is going to take time for Liverpool to find anything like the form they have shown throughout the majority of Klopp’s reign. The new defensive attitude Klopp is hoping to see will face its first against Ajax on Tuesday night.
For now, if they can find ways to make themselves more intense, aggressive, and robust, they can improve their defending and take the pressure of having to earn results from a goal down away from themselves. That may not sound like much, but it would be a big first step forwards.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Mark Mathias hit his second homer of the game, a solo shot with one out in the bottom of the ninth, as the Texas Rangers rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Oakland Athletics 8-7 on Tuesday night.
Mathias had three extra-base hits and drove in four runs. Adolis Garcia added a two-run homer and had three RBIs for Texas.
Mathias hit his decisive homer to left off Joel Payamps (3-5), who came on in the ninth.
Brock Burke (7-3), the last of three Texas pitchers, threw two scoreless innings to earn the win.
With the Rangers having played a day-night doubleheader in Miami on Monday, Mathias hit second in the batting order for the first time with Texas.
It was his first walk-off homer in the majors. He had a walk-off single with Milwaukee, which traded him to Texas on Aug. 1. He was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Aug. 16.
“Walking down the dugout steps, I thought, ‘I could end the game with one swing,’ ” Mathias said. “I was just trying to stay in the moment.”
Mathias has reached base in nine of his 10 Rangers starts.
“He understands the strike zone,” Texas interim manager Tony Beasley said. “He uses the whole field. He just gives us quality at-bats.”
Rookie Dermis Garcia had a three-run home run in the first inning and had a run-scoring double in the fifth while setting a career high with four RBIs for the A’s, who have lost 10 of their last 12 games.
Texas rallied from a 7-2 deficit with three runs in the fifth and two in the seventh.
“You have a five-run lead in the fifth inning, you expect to win the game,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “You tip your cap sometimes to the other team for having that fight.”
Oakland’s Cristian Pache hit a two-run single to cap a three-run third inning.
After Dermis Garcia staked the A’s to a 3-0 lead, the Rangers answered with two runs in the first on RBI doubles by Adolis Garcia and rookie Josh Jung.
Jung, brought up from Round Rock on Friday, had an RBI double in the first and has a Texas record five extra-base hits in his first six major league games.
The Rangers’ Marcus Semien hit a career-high three doubles for his third three-hit game in September.
Oakland’s Chad Pinder had his third three-hit game of the season, his first since July 17.
Neither rookie starter seeking his first major league win figured in the decision.
A’s left-hander Ken Waldichuk allowed five runs in five innings in his third major league start. He matched his high of six strikeouts with one walk.
Rangers left-hander Cole Ragans gave up seven runs in four-plus innings. Ragans, who made his major league debut on Aug. 4, has allowed five homers in six starts.
TRAVEL WOES
Playing in three locations in three days because of rescheduling following the offseason lockout, Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was given the night off, missing his first game since late July. Rookie utilityman Josh Smith made his first major league start at shortstop.
“This is what we have to do because of the hard work by our union and definitely well worth it,” Semien said.
HOW COINCIDENTAL
Of the five previous Rangers who had five extra-base hits in their first four big-league games, the most recent was Drew Robinson in 2017. Robinson, who last played in the big leagues in 2019, threw out the ceremonial first pitch on Tuesday night in recognition of Suicide Prevention Month. Robinson survived a suicide attempt in 2020.
UP NEXT
Athletics LHP J.P. Sears (5-2, 3.33 ERA) will face Rangers RHP Dane Dunning (3-8, 4.39) in Wednesday night’s finale of the two-game set. Sears gave up six runs (and three home runs) in two innings losing to the Chicago White Sox in his previous start. Dunning beat the A’s on Aug. 18 with one of his 10 quality starts (two runs in six innings).

Typhoon Muifa intensified on Tuesday as it moved toward the twin port cities of Ningbo and Zhoushan, which share the ranking of
second-busiest port in China, in terms of cargo handled.
State media said China’s 12th cyclone of the year was expected to make landfall between the cities of Wenling and Zhoushan, bringing torrential rains on its sweep through eastern and southern coastal areas.
That includes the commercial hub of Shanghai, just north of Ningbo and Zhoushan, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Waves of up to 5 meters (16 feet) are expected near Shanghai, China’s busiest container seaport.
Shanghai will suspend some operations of its port, including Yangshan terminal and others, from Tuesday evening and halt all operations on Wednesday morning, the Shanghai International Shipping Institute said.
China Southern Airlines said it has canceled 25 flights at Shanghai airports on Tuesday and plans to cancel 11 more on Wednesday.
About 13,000 people from islands and tourist sites near Zhoushan have been evacuated, state television said.
Nearly 7,400 commercial vessels sought shelter in Zhejiang’s ports, including Zhoushan, Ningbo and Taizhou, while passenger ship routes across the province were suspended from noon, state media said.
The three cities and Shanghai together have a population of 42.26 million.
The Zhejiang government ordered all fishing vessels to return to dock before noon. Ningbo, Zhoushan and Taizhou ordered schools suspended on Wednesday.
All flights at the airports in Ningbo and Zhoushan have been cancelled for Wednesday, flight data platform Variflight told Reuters.
Weather authorities said Muifa’s centre was about 490 km (304.5 miles) southeast of the Zhejiang city of Xiangshan. The typhoon will move northwest after hitting land and gradually weaken, the Central Meteorological Administration added.

Rare white crow sightings excite Kootenay birdwatchers
B.C. bird expert says 'leucistic' crows are not common
Lisa Chabot's sighting of a rare white crow this week has challenged the common assumption that all crows are black.
Chabot, who lives in Glade, B.C., about 20 kilometres northwest of Castlegar, says she noticed something white fluttering among a group of black crows in her neighbourhood on Monday.
"He's exactly like a crow, but he's completely white — he's not an albino, he doesn't have the pink eyes, and his legs are white," Chabot, a ferry operator, told host Sarah Penton on CBC's Radio West.
"It's unreal, I can't believe it."
'Not a common phenomenon'
Chabot took a quick photo of the white crow and shared the image on social media, where she wrote that it was a "one in 10,000" chance to see that kind of bird.
Her post triggered enthusiastic discussions among residents across West Kootenay who said they had also seen a white crow recently in surrounding communities like Slocan and Crescent Valley.
David Bradley, the B.C. director of bird conservation organization Birds Canada, says he hesitates to estimate the probability of spotting a white crow, but acknowledges he hasn't seen one over his past 35 years of bird watching.
"I'd be inclined to think that it's not a common phenomenon," he said.
Judging from Chabot's photo, Bradley believes the white crow is leucistic, meaning the animal has reduced black pigmentation in its feathers, but unlike an albino crow, it has normally coloured eyes.
He adds that white ravens, which are common on Haida Gwaii, are also leucistic.
"It's sort of like albinism, but it's not full albinism," he said. "If a bird has a genetic abnormality or a mutation, then they have the inability to produce melanin, so when they grow feathers, they grow in white."
Bradley says leucism could pose serious challenges to a crow's survival.
"They may get picked on by other crows or they may be more visible to predators," he said. "Prey might become alerted to it, especially if it's white."
Bradley noted that people in B.C.'s Lower Mainland reported sightings of a leucistic crow last year. Over the past several years, Vancouver Island residents also spotted an albino crow and a white raven.

BOSTON (AP) — A package exploded on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston late Tuesday, and the college said a staff member suffered minor injuries.
Authorities said another suspicious package was found near a prominent art museum and the FBI was assisting with the investigation.
The parcel that blew up was one of two that were reported to police early in the evening. Boston's bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city's Museum of Fine Arts, which is on the outskirts of the Northeastern campus.
NBC Boston reported that the package that exploded went off as it was being opened near the university's Holmes Hall, which is home to the university's creative writing program and its women's, gender and sexuality studies program. It said the FBI was assisting the investigation.
Authorities declined to elaborate, but Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi said in a statement that an unidentified university staff member suffered minor injuries to his hand in the explosion.
Police converged on the campus shortly before 7:30 p.m., and the university asked students who had gathered for an evening journalism class at the hall to evacuate the building.
Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston. WCVB said one of its reporters, Mike Beaudet, was teaching a class there at the time. Beaudet told the station his class was moved outside but that neither he nor his students heard an explosion.
Michael Davis, chief of Northeastern's police force, told reporters the campus was secure. Boston police didn't say whether any other suspicious packages were found.
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both on the other side of the Charles River separating Boston from Cambridge, said they were increasing patrols on their campuses as a precaution and urging students and faculty to report anything suspicious.
Tuesday's packages marked one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others.

NEW ORLEANS — A Mike Perlstein investigation uncovered a draft plan from the New Orleans Police Department that will move dozens of officers to street patrols from desk jobs and investigative units.
The New Orleans police department has 950 officers, hundreds less than what it's budgeted
Mike Glasser, president of PANO (Police Association of New Orleans) said the department needs more people.
“It is catastrophic at this point. At what point does it become impossible to provide the public safety we're supposed to?” Glasser said. “The officers that are in the street that are suffering now, the 400 cops that we have now that are trying to hold this together, and answer calls -- 30, 40, 50 call backlog -- they're going to be happy to have that help.”
“The number of officers on patrol has reached critical levels,” the draft said.
The recommendation, a total of up to 100 commissioned officers will be added to the streets. They'll be pulled from desk jobs and specialized units. Another recommendation, assign 40 reserve officers to the 5th and 7th districts, which cover the 9th ward and New Orleans East.
To deal with those slow 911 response times, each district will need to implement a "minimum officer deployment", meaning keeping enough officers on the streets so emergency calls are continuously answered.
Councilman Oliver Thomas said the footprint of his district in the East alone is reason for more help.
“First name Halle second name Lujah makes sense. How do you have areas with that much land mass and not make sure you have enough people to cover those areas, especially when you talk about calls for service,” Thomas said.
Former law enforcement officer, now chief at Seal Security New Orleans, Reginald Rowe Jr. says it’s going to take the community working together to reduce crime.
“Most districts like the 7th district and 5th district, they have big backlogs, we’re talking about traffic accidents, talking about homicides, you're talking about aggravated battery all these different calls are coming out,” Rowe Jr. said. “That’s more people with boots on the ground that can respond to the residents of New Orleans East and make this place safe.”

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ('MD Anderson') and Radiopharm Theranostics Limited ('Radiopharm')(ASX: RAD) today announced the launch of Radiopharm Ventures, LLC, a joint venture company created to develop novel radiopharmaceutical therapeutic products for cancer.
Radiopharm Ventures brings together MD Anderson's innovative and proprietary technologies in antigen discovery and molecular imaging with Radiopharm's expertise in developing radiopharmaceutical products. The joint venture will focus initially on developing at least four therapeutic products based on MD Anderson intellectual property.
"Radiopharmaceuticals continue to be rapidly developed as a highly promising therapeutic frontier in oncology," said Riccardo Canevari, chief executive officer at Radiopharm. "We are pleased to have this opportunity to collaborate with MD Anderson and its tremendous scientists as we work to make significant in-roads into cancer therapy for the benefit of patients."
Radiopharmaceuticals are designed to deliver small doses of radiation to specifically targeted cells for either therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Effective cancer radiopharmaceuticals require tumor-specific targets not found in healthy tissue. MD Anderson researchers have established novel platforms to discover and validate tumor specific antigens, offering promising candidates for the development of new radiopharmaceuticals.
The first potential therapeutic candidate is a humanized immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody against the tumor-specific antigen B7-H3, also known as CD276, which is highly expressed in several common tumors but not in healthy cells. The antibody was developed in the laboratory of David Piwnica-Worms, M.D., Ph.D., chair of Cancer Systems Imaging at MD Anderson. Pre-clinical studies suggest the candidate radiotherapeutic antibody is effective in eliminating resistant colorectal cancers in laboratory models.
"Based on our early pre-clinical data, B7-H3 represents a promising radiotherapeutic target, and we look forward to having the opportunity to work with the team at Radiopharm with the goal of advancing our therapeutic candidate toward future clinical studies," Piwnica-Worms said.
In addition, the work of Samir Hanash, M.D., Ph.D., professor of Clinical Cancer Prevention at MD Anderson, has resulted in extensive characterization of the cancer surfaceome - the catalogue of proteins found specifically on the surface of cancer cells across cancer types - resulting in novel targets with cancer-restricted expression. Radiopharm Ventures has an opportunity to select additional targets from this dataset and plans to prioritize selection based on unmet needs in oncology.
"The cancer surfaceome holds a wealth of information about antigens restricted to cancer," Hanash said. "Mining the data, generated at the petabyte level, has uncovered many compelling targets that have not previously been explored, and we are pleased for the opportunity to collaborate with Radiopharm in developing innovative new treatment options for some targets."
Once targets have been selected, Radiopharm will collaborate with Hanash and Piwnica-Worms at MD Anderson to advance preclinical development of potential therapeutic candidates.

Rant:
I first heard about Alfred Coffee through the many influencers and celebrities who posted photos on Instagram with the famous antler “A” logo all over their coffee cups.
As a coffee lover, I was excited to hear Alfred’s was coming to Malibu and had to try this highly favored coffee shop.
That excitement quickly ended when I took my first sip of their “world famous” iced vanilla latte.
Maybe my expectations were too high from all the media hype, but I wasn’t “wowed” like my opponent was by her first sip of Alfred Coffee.
Considering Alfred’s prides themselves with their vanilla syrup, I was expecting the the vanilla to have the best flavor ever — but I could barely even taste it.
Honestly, my latte tasted like milk with a dash of coffee — it was nothing special at all.
Alfred’s has a variety items on their menu — one of which is a breakfast burrito — ranging from $10 to $12, which is expensive considering its small size.
In addition to the not-so-great coffee and expensive burritos, I feel like Alfred’s is stepping on the territory of classic Malibu favorites like Blue Bottle and Howdy’s.
Why would someone want to go to Alfred’s for a smaller breakfast burrito when they could get a bigger one at Howdy’s for the same price? The same goes for the coffee — why go to Alfred’s for a mediocre cup of Joe when you could go right across the street and get an even yummier cup at Blue Bottle?
All in all, I think Alfred Coffee is overhyped and should be left for the influencers to enjoy. Hopefully other Malibu locals and I will stick to Blue Bottle.
Rave:
Anytime I hear of a new coffee shop in town, I run to try it. With the hype around Alfred Coffee coming to the country mart, I knew I needed to get there as soon as I could.
To my surprise, it became my new favorite coffee shop. I like the atmosphere, the location and I like the actual coffee more than anywhere else in the country mart.
For starters, I really do prefer the actual taste of the coffee. While I wouldn’t consider myself a coffee connoisseur, I do notice when my coffee isn’t up to par.
At Alfred’s, the baristas craft up a perfect iced almond milk latte for me every time — mixing the right amount of milk with coffee with vanilla flavoring. The names might not be as fancy as Blue Bottle’s, but I think the coffee tastes much better and is worth my money.
Second, I like the atmosphere of Alfred’s. It has upbeat music, colors on the walls and overall has a lot of excitement to it. Some coffee shops are more relaxing, but clearly if I am going somewhere to get coffee, I need an upbeat vibe to wake me up, rather than a vibe that will contrast my coffee intake and put me right back to sleep.
In addition, Alfred’s is located right in the main part of the country mart, so I can take my coffee and go shop around at the many stores, or I can just sit in the nice seating Alfred’s has right outside, with my favorite lights hanging above me.
One of my favorite parts of Alfred’s is they also have food I like. The Alfred’s breakfast burrito fills me up and tastes good — worth my money for sure.
Alfred’s is also very convenient. First, I can order it on the app which I like, and once I get there, there is a whole parking lot right by Alfred’s that is typically empty. I can pull right in, pick up my coffee and stay a while, or head right back out with a quality cup of coffee in hand.
While I understand Alfred Coffee might be seen as just another coffee shop, I really do think it has the best options for a quick, quality coffee alongside a good sandwich, for an affordable price.

Students inside Smothers Theatre clap as the film “REMAND” concludes Aug. 30. Many people from the Pepperdine community attended the screening. Photo by Mary Elisabeth
The film “REMAND” follows a Ugandan teenager facing two murder charges who—with no court date in sight — had lost hope on being released. The film tells the story of a group of Pepperdine law students and a professor who sought justice, and their actions launched a movement that created tangible change in the country’s governing laws, according to the film.
Students watched the 2017 film in Smothers Theatre on Aug. 30 and heard the story of Ugandan teenager Henry Tumusiime and President Jim Gash. Gash fought for Tumusiime’s innocence while inspiring justice reforms for the entire country, according to the film.
“More than anything, it’s a film about a country trying to better itself and trying to deliver justice to its people,” Gash said. “It’s shown through the eyes of an individual prisoner, whose life really became the catalyst for massive criminal justice reform in the country.”
The Sudreau Global Justice Institute produced and organized the recent showing of “REMAND.” The group works to correct systemic injustices in communities all over the world, according to the Sudreau Global Justice Institute website. The group intends to create equity in the world through their work, said Cameron McCollum, director of the Sudreau Global Institute.
“What the Global Justice Institute really is, is essentially an international nonprofit based out of Caruso School of Law here at Pepperdine,” McCollum said. “Our mission is to make access to justice a reality for all people everywhere.”
The film’s title, “REMAND,” means, “to remain indefinitely and hopelessly in prison while awaiting trial,” according to the film’s website.
Hope Dease, justice fellow at the Sudreau Global Justice Institute, said Ugandan prisoners do not hold the right to a speedy trial like people in the US.
“People will be sitting on remand for six to seven years on average before their case would be seen,” Dease said. “That does include high court cases like defilement and aggravated robbery and that kind of stuff but also cases like if I just stole a loaf of bread from Ralphs and I’m sitting in prison for seven years without having spoken to a single attorney.”
Senior Katie Price said that seeing the story unfold in front her was a moving experience.
“It was really powerful seeing an actual face because I’ve heard her [Dease] talk about cases, and I’ve heard her talk about the overload of the prisons and her seeing it, but it’s hard to really be able to understand if you’re not the one seeing it,” Price said.
The film showed while Tumusiime and his brother attended school, a local mob beat and killed a thief who stole money from Tumusiime’s family home. With no suspects, the Ugandan government arrested the boys and their father for the murder, paying no attention to the fact that at the time of death, the boys were at the nearby school.
While in juvenile prison, the fellow prisoners elected Tumusiime into leadership. Rose, the prison manager, ordered the beating of another prisoner, leading to his death. The Ugandan government charged Tumisiime’s with the murder as well as Rose due to his leadership within the prison.
The defense attorneys assigned to defend both Tumusiime and Rose placed all the blame on Tumusiime, leading to a second murder conviction. Gash worked to have this wrongful conviction corrected, according to the film. After working with local officials and a team of lawyers, Gash got Tumusiime out from behind bars with one year of probation. However, the conviction remained on his record.
The film followed every step of Gash’s mission to clear Tumusiime’s criminal record so he could be a free man. On June 19, 2015, after spending two years in jail, the courts ruled that the conviction would be redacted. One attorney could not defend both Rose and Tumusiime without being prejudiced against one of them. Tumusiime became a free man.
After the film screening, Gash called Tumusiime via Zoom to show those in attendance where he is and what he is doing now.
Tumusiime said he hoped to become a practicing doctor in Uganda, a feat that would have been impossible without the exoneration of his wrongful conviction, Gash said.
“It was important that I wanted to become a medical doctor, and it was very, very hard for me to become a medical doctor with the conviction,” Tumusiime said.
After the exoneration, Tumusiime attended medical school in his country pursuing a degree in medicine and surgery. He is now a surgeon in Uganda. Joseph Tumusiime, Tumusiime’s younger brother has hopes of becoming a lawyer.
“Joseph is now in Law School,” Tumusiime said. “I think he has just a few months to become a lawyer as well.”
Gash said Tumusiime now owns and operates a hospital in his hometown providing medical assistance to the communities.
Senior Carter Lentz said he enjoyed seeing first-hand how hard Gash fought for Tumsiime’s exoneration so he could move forward in life as a free man.
“I think something that was really powerful was watching how Jim didn’t just get the one-year probation and said that was enough,” Lentz said. “He continued and fought for the exoneration so that he [Tumusiime] could get into medical school.”
Tumusiime said his mother visited him in prison often, despite his efforts to keep her away. He believed he would never be set free and it was best if she stayed away. During her visits, she would remind him about the love and Word of God.
“She used to tell me that, sometimes, God uses what you would see as a bad thing to make good, and I still believe in that,” Tumusiime said.
Price said the film highlights the idea that everyone deserves a just legal process, regardless of if they are guilty or wrongfully accused.
“There’s the perspective that even the people who are so guilty and did commit horrible crimes still deserve justice because everyone does,” Price said.
Gash said he hopes this hunger for worldwide justice will reach students outside the Law School and become a university-wide goal.
“The Law School has been very much engaged in the developing world, particularly trying to bring justice to those who don’t have it and we’re eager for this to be a university-wide endeavor,” Gash said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge Tuesday unsealed additional portions of an FBI affidavit laying out the basis for a search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, showing that agents earlier obtained a hard drive after issuing a subpoena for surveillance footage recorded inside Mar-a-Lago.
A heavily redacted version of the affidavit was made public last month, but the Justice Department requested permission to show more of it after lawyers for Trump revealed the existence of a June grand jury subpoena that sought video footage from cameras in the vicinity of the Mar-a-Lago storage room.
“Because those aspects of the grand jury’s investigation have now been publicly revealed, there is no longer any reason to keep them sealed (i.e. redacted) in the filings in this matter,” department lawyers wrote.
The newly visible portions of the FBI agent’s affidavit show that the FBI on June 24 subpoenaed for the footage after a visit weeks earlier to Mar-a-Lago in which agents observed 50 to 55 boxes of records in the storage room at the property. The Trump Organization provided a hard drive on July 6 in response to the subpoena, the affidavit says.
The footage could be an important piece of the investigation, including as agents evaluate whether anyone has sought to obstruct the probe. The Justice Department has said in a separate filing that it has “developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.”
The Justice Department has been investigating the holding of top-secret information and other classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House. FBI agents during their Aug. 8 search of the home and club said they recovered more than 11,000 documents and 1,800 other items, including roughly 100 with classification markings.
Separately Tuesday, the Justice Department again urged U.S. District Aileen Cannon to lift her hold on core aspects of the investigation. Cannon last week granted the Trump team’s request for an independent arbiter to review the seized documents and weed out from the investigation any records that may be covered by claims of executive or attorney-client privilege.
She also ordered the department to halt its review of the records pending any further court order or the completion of a review by the yet-to-be-named special master. The department urged Cannon last week to put her order on hold and told the judge Tuesday that its investigation would be harmed by a continued delay of its ability to scrutinize the classified documents.
“The government and the public unquestionably have an interest in the timely enforcement of criminal laws, particularly those involving the protection of highly sensitive information, and especially where, as here, there may have been efforts to obstruct its investigation,” the lawyers wrote.
The Trump team on Monday urged the judge to leave her order in place. His lawyers raised questions about the documents’ current classification status and noted that a president has absolute authority to declassify information, though they pointedly did not say that Trump had actually declassified anything.

The Ministry of Health has dropped its daily update on Covid-19 case numbers and will shift to weekly reporting.
A ministry spokesperson said the move would bring Covid-19 data more in line with the reporting of other communicable diseases, which were reported either weekly or monthly.
The weekly update would continue to include seven day averages for case numbers, deaths and hospitalisations.
It would also start publishing a weekly analysis of trends and insights based on the latest Covid-19 data.
The ministry said frequent reporting could still be reactivated in the future, should it be required.
The first weekly update will be released next Monday, covering the period from 12 to 18 September.

The latest installment of the Fire Emblem series, titled Fire Emblem Engage, is set to release in January of next year.
Announced during today’s (September 13) Nintendo Direct, Fire Emblem Engage sees fan-favourite characters Marth & Celica returning alongside a new cast of characters. Nintendo has announced that the game will release on January 20th, 2023.
The player takes on the role of Alear, who is a Divine Dragon, a member of a Royal family of dragons.
Engage takes place on the continent of Elyos, which once faced a fierce battle against the Fell Dragon. Life has been peaceful since then, but as the game trailer ominously predicts, the seal on the great evil is weakening.
Details about Fire Emblem Engage were rumoured ahead of the Direct, when details were shared about the main character and the Emblem mechanic – which allows players to summon past heroes from the Fire Emblem franchise.
Emblem was reportedly originally intended to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary, and had been finished for “over a year” at the time of the leak back in June this year.
The game’s January 2023 release date will see the game launching shortly before another game in the franchise, Fire Emblem Fates, leaves the eShop in February. The game’s removal comes as Nintendo begins shutting down the 3DS and WiiU digital storefronts.

Imposing A Price Cap On Russian Oil Is An Ineffective Way To Force Russia Into Peace – Analysis
Linear simplistic logic is an excellent way to quickly satisfy the political demands of the electorate. The Western public’s demand for restrictions on the Russian Federation’s ability to continue its policy and the corresponding active measures are satisfied by Western political elites in the spirit of the leftist-populist agenda that has been dominant in most developed countries for the last 20 years. The real effectiveness of the decisions of the authorities of the collective West, primarily in Europe, with respect to the Russian Federation goes far behind the loud proclamations and the false reality that are so quickly sold to the electorate.
In particular, I am referring to restrictions on the export of Russian oil and its redistribution as the main source of export revenues for the Russian budget and the ability of the current government to finance its policies.
The ineffectiveness and actual meaninglessness of such restrictions – both the decision to refuse to buy tanker oil and petroleum products and the discussed price cap – becomes clear on closer examination in light of realities and data.
Why is the oil embargo ineffective? Lets me remind you briefly.
First, replacing oil revenues with other sources of financing for the implementation of the chosen political course is not too difficult a task for the Russian government. The low level of treasury debt at 21% of GDP and low interest rates on deposits make it possible to borrow an additional 5%-10% of GDP. This would increase the national debt to the same non-critical 25-30% of GDP. Raising the rates on deposits will increase the amount of assets of commercial banks, which will eventually go towards the purchase of government bonds. Besides, the assets in the accounts of the Ministry of Finance allow to execute all budget expenditures in full for quite a long period – just over 12 months.
Second, Russia has the highest share in the volume of the world’s traded exports, which amounts to 17%, i.e. every sixth ton of oil traded in the world between countries is of Russian origin. In case any buyer refuses to buy a considerable part of this volume, this part will be redirected to another buyer. In this case it is possible to discount the price from today’s market levels, but this will simultaneously mean pressure on the market prices tomorrow, which will generally reduce the actual discount. In the case of a hypothetical situation when Russian oil is completely blocked, the subsequent market disequilibrium will create a giant inflationary overhang, because it is impossible to promptly replace such a huge hypothetical deficit. And with the already difficult situation in the world economy, balancing on the verge of recession, and high inflationary pressure, such a situation will send economies not just into recession, but into depression. This is obviously unacceptable to the political authorities of developed countries. This is one of the reasons why I call the situation with the complete blockade of Russian oil exports hypothetical, or, rather, impossible.
What are the realities? The equilibrium in the market is preserved, and the share of the main exporters fluctuates insignificantly. Russian oil was actively filling the European market before the embargo began. At the same time, Asian buyers are using the existing discount to increase Russian purchases.
This is an important factor for maintaining a balance even after the embargo is imposed. The European side will need to replace the falling out imports from Russia, and it will do so, including by increasing the volume of supplies from the Middle East. Middle Eastern sellers will be forced to reduce the corresponding supply volumes to other buyers, particularly Asian countries. And here Russian oil will compensate for those very falling out volumes, providing itself (even with a discount) with a sufficient cash flow to maintain macroeconomic and fiscal stability. As a result, the market equilibrium necessary for both producers-sellers and consumers-buyers of oil in the world is preserved in any case. As has been said before, significant distortions will lead to extremely painful consequences for the whole world economy and all its agents, which they are certainly not interested in, to put it mildly.
We should also not forget that, given the state domination of the Russian economy and its corresponding structure with oil and gas dependence, the volume of production and uninterrupted sales in general is more important than the price. The continuous cycle of production, processing of sales and transportation provides a multiplicative effect both for the oil and gas complex itself and for many related industries and other industries. As long as this cycle persists, the existing economic system in Russia is functional and the social situation is stable, despite the inevitable decline of GDP and the quality of life of the population.
Thus, neither before the start of the embargo on Russian exports to Europe, nor afterwards, the decision taken cannot significantly affect the Russian government’s ability to ensure the fulfillment of budget expenditures, regardless of their volume and direction.
As for the price cap for the Russian side as a seller, such an idea looks even more populist and helpless than the adopted embargo. In fact, the idea of the embargo meant limiting the volume of Russian exports, i.e. the embargo is aimed at reducing total revenues as a source of formation of the Russian budget. The price cap, on the other hand, means limiting revenues, i.e. the level of profitability and, accordingly, the profit of the Russian side, which merely reduces budget revenues. This will have even more insignificant consequences for the Russian side.
An important point lies in the way in which the revenue side of the Russian budget, which is targeted in particular by the price cap, is formed. The Russian budget is accounted for and executed, of course, in the national currency, that is, rubles. Due to the fall in imports of goods and the actually insignificant reduction of raw hydrocarbon exports, the national currency has strengthened considerably, which negatively affects the revenue side of the budget. (This, by the way, is one of the important points in the discussion of the real threats and risks for the Russian economy, consisting, in particular, in a hypothetical complete embargo on all imports).
The depreciation of the ruble is now an important real factor in reducing the economic capacity of the Russian government to finance the chosen political course, because it is necessary to balance between preservation of budget revenues (and this requires a weak ruble) and social stability, which depends primarily on stable purchasing power, i.e. on inflation – for what a strong ruble is needed.
In order to increase ruble financing of priority budget items, such as the military defense complex, it is necessary either to raise the ruble exchange rate or increase sales of the gross product, i.e. to increase the economic result one way or another. To preserve social loyalty and stability, the Russian government logically chose to increase export deliveries even at a discount, because to increase budget revenues at the expense of an exchange rate increase in export revenues means weakening the ruble, which is not advisable for social policy.
The imposing a price cap will actually reduce the amount of convertible currency, i.e. dollars flowing into the economy, which will naturally increase the ruble value of the budget, i.e. increase its revenues. The Ministry of Finance will continue to balance the budget, but now at the expense of the exchange rate difference.
Of course, ruble appreciation may have a negative impact on consumer opportunities and increase inflation, creating social tension. However, the government is quite capable of increasing government spending to maintain stability through social programs, state order, indexation and direct subsidies. It can do this, as mentioned above, for example, by increasing the volume of government debt and raising the rate on deposits, which, incidentally, may reduce consumer activity and offset the inflationary effect of the weak ruble.
Let’s assume that a price cap is imposed, and Russian oil has restrictions for exports to Europe at the level of the purchase price, for example, no more than $50 per barrel. Obviously, other buyers of Russian oil – other countries – will also not want to buy Russian oil for a higher price. Moreover, some of them will want to buy Russian oil at $50 and then, bypassing the conditions for secondary sanctions on the resale of Russian oil (there are plenty of mechanisms and technologies for such operations, as the example of Iran, among others, shows), will sell it at the real market price.
It would seem that the Russian side will really be limited in the amount of revenues coming from oil. However, no one has limited Russia’s ability to sell oil for $50. Therefore, the Russian side, as a rational economic agent, will try to find a new balance of benefits and costs. It will decide to whom and what volumes to supply.
This means that by redirecting volumes, for example, to India, Russia will not supply this volume to Europe. Europe, in order to replace these missing volumes it will have to buy them from another seller, for example, from India, but at market price, or at least at a higher price than the ceiling price. Accordingly, the cost of this very “Indian” oil will be higher than that determined for Russia.
In case the alternative seller for Europe is not the conditional India with its “Russian-Indian” oil, but the Middle East with its real, Middle Eastern oil, then these falling out supplies from the Middle East to India, which will now be directed to Europe, will again be compensated by Russia. Oil sales between India, the Middle East and Russia will not be as strictly controlled and regulated as those with Europe or other countries that have joined the price cap.
In the end, we have all the same equilibrium, only formed in a different sequence.
In addition to the above, Russia has a significant advantage by being able to decide to whom and when it will increase export flows. And this means that the ability to influence the overall balance of world oil exports and supplies will remain virtually at the same level. However, the Russian side will now have greater leverage to obtain the benefits it needs from countries that can increase imports of the goods it needs in exchange for an increase in oil supplies to resell these countries’ surpluses at market prices and make additional profits.
Arguments about regulatory and supervisory mechanisms on the part of the countries participating in the sanctions coalition do not look realistic. These measures include both secondary sanctions for countries and companies that do not comply with the terms of the sanctioning countries, and, for example, indirect restrictions: for example, a ban on transport insurance, etc. Without going into details and procedural details of why this will not work, or at least will be extremely ineffective as a result, we can say that such mechanisms are, in fact, direct interference in the complex market mechanism of the integrated world economy – no matter how well-intentioned such interference may be justified. And this, first, means risks associated with regulatory distortions of the market, and second, the market and its participants will be able to adjust and adapt to maintain benefits and costs at a level of efficiency acceptable to them in any environment, whether it concerns individual economic agents or entire countries.
Are there any measures or solutions capable of creating really significant risks for Russia and somehow affecting the sustainability of the macroeconomic and social situation in the country? Absolutely, but this is a topic for a separate discussion.
Selling the simplest and, at first glance, most effective solution to gain electoral loyalty is the simplest, most linear and often most effective way for socio-populist political elites in democracies to gain or retain power. But this approach has an extremely short planning horizon, since any such solution, once implemented, soon turns out to be ineffective and have large side effects. To eliminate these inevitable side-effects, elites make no less populist decisions, thus prolonging their life cycle time after time in as linear and primitive a way as possible. This happens until “nullification” occurs – an economic and socio-political crisis of varying degrees of severity, when the effect of a suddenly low base allows more complex but more effective and long-term decisions to be made. We have had the opportunity to observe this constant populist policy in developed and developing countries over the past 20 years.
The measures such as imposing oil price cap offered by the international sanctions coalition to limit Russian budget revenues obviously belong to this very category of populist solutions. They are aimed at satisfying the immediate wishes of the voter and have an extremely short horizon, after which the inevitable risks will either force the elites to make more balanced and complex decisions (which, incidentally, are overdue not today and not even 5 or even 10 years ago) or will lead to significant changes that will allow such decisions to take place.
So, we will be watching.

We know how much you guys like Honda’s mini bikes, so we’re sure you’re going to like this one: the new Honda CT125 Trail Explorer.
This is extremely similar to that mini trail bike we saw launched in the US a couple of years back. It features that same off-road-oriented design, with a thin frame and a high-positioned exhaust pipe.
OTHER STORIES YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED:

The bike is powered by a 125cc four-stroke gasoline engine that’s protected by an engine cover for when you want to take the bike off the beaten path. The rear suspension features five different preload adjustments for optimized off-road performance, and a rear carrier for all your cargo needs.
The bike also gets a full LED lighting system, a fully digital speedometer, a heft 5.4-liter fuel tank, and dual disc brakes with ABS up front. It comes in three different colors as seen above.
This is just one of the many mini bikes Honda currently sells in Thailand under Cub House. Should Honda Philippines just bring these models in already? We think so.

Inside the fight to stop an oil pipeline in Africa
This is an audio transcript of the Behind the Money podcast episode: Inside the fight to stop an oil pipeline in Africa
Michela Tindera
Earlier this year, there was a big celebration at a park in Uganda’s capital city, Kampala. It lasted more than three hours. There were speeches from dignitaries, business executives and religious leaders.
News clip
We thank you for this historical gathering of today.
Michela Tindera
And there were dance performances . . .
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Michela Tindera
And the main reason for all of this pomp and circumstance was that after years of work, four oil companies, the French oil and gas company TotalEnergies, the Chinese state oil company Cnooc and the national oil companies of Tanzania and Uganda, they had all come together and finally reached an agreement to develop Uganda’s oilfields and build what’s known as the East African Crude Oil Pipeline or EACOP for short.
News clip
For me, today is definitely a day of happiness. This project is a very important one. We are confident that Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania will benefit from this project and the profits from the industry will contribute to eradication of poverty and create lasting value to society.
Leslie Hook
This is going to be the world’s longest heated pipeline running from Uganda through Tanzania and to the coast.
Michela Tindera
That’s Leslie Hook. She’s the natural resources editor for the FT.
Leslie Hook
And the oil is going to come out of the ground in a couple of different places. There’s two main developments in the western side of Uganda and then pipeline will go through Uganda, just below the bottom of Lake Victoria, through Tanzania and, and to the coast. And it’s a really big project and it’s really significant because it will turn Uganda into an oil producing country and an oil exporting country for the very first time.
Michela Tindera
The Ugandan and Tanzanian governments are thrilled about it. They see it as a way to finally bring their economies into the 21st century with nearby access to oil and gas. On the other hand, environmental activists are worried. Plans for the pipeline include running through a national park in Uganda and displacing local people from their homes. One environmental campaigner told Leslie that it’s “really the worst project that you could imagine”.
Leslie Hook
The risk of oil spills, the disruption posed by construction, having heavy equipment are really significant. And so you’ve seen kind of a coalition of environmental groups that are really trying to call out this project, expose the impact that it’s having, and they’re trying to stop it.
Michela Tindera
In fact, Leslie found that some environmentalists are taking a new approach to fighting this oil project. The project is expected to cost $10bn, and the companies behind it are still looking for funding from external parties to make that happen. And this has opened up a new window for environmental activists to focus their campaigns. So rather than just placing pressure on the companies in charge of building the pipeline, they’re putting pressure on financial institutions. They’re trying to convince these financial institutions that they shouldn’t provide these oil companies with the funding and insurance that they need to pull off the project.
Leslie Hook
So if you think of, you know, some of the iconic environmental campaigns of the past, like in the 1970s, you had anti-whaling campaigners and they’re on boats. And there’s these really iconic photographs. And that campaign was really effective. You know, whaling did get banned in the 1980s. And I think of this as like a modern day equivalent. This is a new approach and it’s an idea, the idea of focusing on financial institutions. This idea is really gaining a lot of traction.
Michela Tindera
This tactic is one that could impact not only EACOP over the next few years, but it could also lay out a blueprint for environmental activists targeting other fossil fuel projects in the future.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Michela Tindera
I’m Michela Tindera from the Financial Times. On this week’s episode of Behind the Money, how environmental activists are targeting banks and insurers to fight the construction of an oil pipeline in Africa.
[MUSIC FADES]
Michela Tindera
For decades, the possibility of extracting oil from the earth in Uganda has been there, just out of reach.
Leslie Hook
So in this part of western Uganda, oil seepages were actually observed on the ground more than a century ago. And geologists could see the oil at the surface, seemed like there is something there, but no one could really find the deposit and determine whether there was a reserve that would be economic to produce, to pump out of the ground.
Michela Tindera
The president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, has been in power since the 1980s, and he’s had his sights set on this for a long time.
Leslie Hook
He wanted to understand what was the potential of Uganda to produce oil and to sell oil and to export it.
Michela Tindera
Finally in 2006 after drilling many test wells, a formal oil discovery was made. A place where they could drill and access oil. But still, there have been some delays.
Leslie Hook
So even though this oil was discovered in 2006, it’s taken a long time to get these projects going because of the huge environmental risks involved and the environmental impact assessments that were done took years.
Michela Tindera
One part of the oil project is set to be built inside what many consider to be the crown jewel of Uganda’s park system, Murchison Falls National Park.
Leslie Hook
It’s two and a half times the size of Greater London, and it’s home to hippos and giraffes, elephants, lions, warthogs and Uganda calves, which are like a form of antelope. It’s just this oasis of, it’s a sanctuary for wildlife. And it’s been protected for decades.
Michela Tindera
Leslie travelled to Murchison Falls earlier this year to see firsthand how this oil project might impact the area.
Leslie Hook
When you arrive in Murchison Falls National Park, you immediately see that there’s this huge highway that cuts right through the middle of the park, and in some places it’s been finished, in some ways it’s still under construction. So you can see these bulldozers and this really noisy, heavy equipment that is just ploughing right through the centre of the park. Part of the reason this road is being built is to allow oil equipment and construction equipment to get inside the park more easily. And one very telling indication is that this road doesn’t have any speed bumps. And most highways in Uganda have a lot of speed bumps as a safety measure, but not this one.
Michela Tindera
A spokesperson for the French oil company developing this project, TotalEnergies, told the FT that the pipeline route was designed to minimise its environmental impact and avoid sensitive habitats as much as possible. Still, along with the environmental risks, there’s another issue with the incoming pipeline, too.
Leslie Hook
So for the people that live near these projects and near the pipeline, it is quite disruptive. This pipeline is being built in an area that has a lot of people living there already.
Michela Tindera
In fact, there’s more than 10,000 people who will be impacted by the construction of the project, and many will be forced to move.
Leslie Hook
And the companies involved have offered compensation for the land. In some cases, that’s been rejected. There have been a number of complaints about the level of compensation that’s been offered to the landowners and the farmers that have been living there. So the question of what is the future of these displaced people is still a very big one.
Michela Tindera
When Leslie travelled to Uganda, she met one of those people who disagreed with the amount of compensation he was offered. His name is Nelson Tibimaña.
[Sound of footsteps on land]
Leslie Hook
Nelson is a farmer, and he lives south of Murchison Falls National Park. He works on the land, the same farm that’s been in his family, the land where he was born. And the pipeline is going to pass right through his front porch. So he’s going to lose his house. And he was offered compensation by the companies building the pipeline, but he felt like this was too low because they undervalued his trees.
And is this your forest?
Nelson Tibimaña
Yes, my forest. Not all . . .
Leslie Hook
It’s a big area.
Leslie Hook
He took me on a walk through his property and through his farm, and he just showed me his trees, which had been growing there. And they were as big as, you know, telephone poles. He said they had been valued like trees that were the sort that you would use in construction work and had been valued as being smaller than, than they were.
[Sound of footsteps on land]
Leslie Hook
And so he’s rejected that compensation offer and has been going back and forth for years since 2019 but hasn’t gotten a better offer.
Michela Tindera
Even with all these complications, the governments of Uganda and Tanzania see the pipeline as a huge opportunity.
Leslie Hook
I’ve spoken to Ugandan government officials and they say, look, this is our chance to develop, and we deserve to have this opportunity for economic development just like you guys had in the west. And their argument is that the revenue that they get from selling oil will help Uganda to provide better social services and better infrastructure and even lower emissions. So today, Uganda imports most of its oil via Kenya, and that gets trucked in. So it has very high emissions. Once this project is built, Uganda will become a producer of oil, of course, and there will be a small domestic refinery. So about a quarter of the oil that’s produced from this project will be refined domestically and stay in Uganda and meeting its needs. So their argument is that this new process will result in less emissions than the current system.
Michela Tindera
But the environmentalists aren’t buying this talk of lower emissions oil production.
Leslie Hook
They’ve all come together in this loose coalition called Stop EACOP, which just kind of rhymes. And the Stop EACOP campaign has over a dozen different groups that contribute to it, support it and are kind of loosely affiliated with these efforts. And the reason that the campaign is so interesting is because it really targets the financial institutions that are involved with this project, both banks and insurers. And to me, this seems like kind of a, a new model. You know, rather than throwing yourself in front of the bulldozer, these groups are organising a campaign to ask major banks not to fund this project and to campaign to ask big insurers not to insure this project. And so, one by one, over the last couple of years, we’ve actually seen them have a degree of success.
Michela Tindera
One member of this effort is Coleen Scott. Coleen’s a legal and policy associate at a non-profit called Inclusive Development International or IDI.
Coleen Scott
So EACOP is certainly not our first case using the follow the money approach. IDI was started in Cambodia.
Michela Tindera
IDI started this approach when the co-founders of the organisation were living in Cambodia. And Coleen says that they observed the government granting land concessions to various corporations which displaced farmers and other communities.
Coleen Scott
What they sort of discovered is that, you know, you can do so much work on the ground looking at the project’s impacts, engaging with the companies that you see operating on the ground, engaging with the government. But you’re hard-pressed to gain any traction just with doing that. What you really need to do is look beyond those immediate actors that you see on the ground and look internationally at the scope of, of actors in the financial system that are really enabling the project and hold leverage over the project success. And so that’s when they started to sort of look at banks, actors like shareholders and companies looking at the supply chain to see which brands would eventually source from the project in question. And that’s when the follow the money approach was created and launched. And since then, we’ve taken requests and researched more than 200 projects from around the world.
Michela Tindera
Coleen says that IDI was eager to take what they call their follow the money approach and apply it to EACOP. That’s because other campaigns that they’ve worked on in the past have been for things like mining projects that have been in existence for many years, whereas EACOP is still in the developmental stages now. So Coleen says that they started out by looking at the banks and other places that might provide funding or financial support to the oil companies that are actually building the oil project.
Coleen Scott
We found that they plan to finance it with what’s called a 60-40 debt to equity split. That means that 60 per cent of the total cost will come in the form of a project loan provided by banks. And 40 per cent of that cost will come from the equity investors. In this case, that’s Total from France, Cnooc, the Chinese company, and the national oil companies of Uganda and Tanzania. And so we really focused in on this financing structure, and we essentially figured out that if we can stop this project loan, that’s 60 per cent of the total cost of the project. It would be really difficult, if not impossible, for the project sponsors to move ahead without that project loan. So that’s when we got in touch with groups like BankTrack, which is a Dutch organisation that focuses on commercial bank advocacy. And we got them involved, and we started really launching this, this finance advocacy campaign targeting banks that we thought were the most likely actors to finance the project.
Michela Tindera
Then Coleen says that they drew up a list of about 30 commercial banks that they knew had existing financial relationships with Cnooc and Total.
Coleen Scott
And we made that list because we figured, OK, if they’re looking for banks to join this project loan, these are the most likely candidates that they’ll approach to join the loan, and these are the most likely ones that would agree because they already are familiar with the project or with the, with the company. And so based on that list, that was our sort of universal of starting points where we started writing to those banks. We started highlighting the risks, familiarising them with the project from our perspective and asking them to make a clear commitment that they would not finance the project.
Michela Tindera
At first, Coleen says that it was pretty tough to get these banks to even respond. Let alone actually make a commitment that they wouldn’t provide financing for the project.
Coleen Scott
I think most advocates who work in this space can tell you that the first response you will always get from a bank is, we can’t talk about this. It’s commercially sensitive. We can’t comment on particular clients or particular projects. But, you know, we’ve seen since then that they can and they will if they feel hard-pressed to do so.
Michela Tindera
So with help from BankTrack and local partners in Uganda, in March of 2021 the first two commercial banks came out to publicly say that they wouldn’t finance EACOP, and those banks were Barclays and Credit Suisse. Since then, Coleen says that they’ve been able to get a total of 20 banks to come out publicly to say that they won’t finance the pipeline. And that includes major names like JPMorgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley.
Coleen Scott
We publicised the list of banks that we were engaging with. So we created a massive campaign website stopeacop.com. And on that website we had a page dedicated to setting out who are the banks that we’re targeting and what are their responses so far. So every time we reached out to them and got a response, we would publicise what they said to us, and we would publicly track their position in relation to EACOP. And that served to sort of create public pressure, public visibility focused on the banks. And ultimately I think that that contributed to the success in getting so many banks to follow suit.
Michela Tindera
Getting the banks to make a commitment isn’t the only piece of this campaign, though.
Omar El Maui
So my name is Omar El Maui. I work as the co-ordinator of the Stop East Africa Pipeline campaign. So this campaign is an important piece for what they believe in, which is an Africa that is fossil free and leapfrogs fossil fuels towards renewable, green, renewable energy.
Michela Tindera
Omar grew up in Kenya, but he says that once he found out about what was happening in Uganda with the oil pipeline, he decided he wanted to help people there fight against the production of this thing. His Stop EACOP campaign has focused on the banks, but there’s another piece to this too.
Omar El Maui
Importantly, you know, the money is not everything that they need, but they also, because it’s a risky project, it’s going to cause huge, devastating impacts. They will need an insurer to underwrite it.
Michela Tindera
Major infrastructure projects like EACOP have insurance that covers risks, and that could include things like oil spills or construction risk.
Omar El Maui
It’s the reason why we’ve also targeted different insurance companies and reinsurers to make sure that this project never gets the underwriting that it needs for, for them to get the insurance to proceed with it.
Michela Tindera
Omar says that the Stop EACOP campaign has targeted roughly two dozen insurers, and about a dozen have confirmed that they will not get involved with the project.
Omar El Maui
But we do know that all of these commitments and all of these all of these commitments that are being made, it’s not because, you know, these people are feeling sorry for the community, but because they’ve done the assessments, they’ve looked at all the agreements we’ve made, and they’ve came to a pretty good position in London where they realised that being exposed to EACOP is not the best way for them to continue with the work that they need to do. So hopefully, you know, the list can only really only go longer going forward.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Michela Tindera
Despite these efforts, at least one major insurance company has signed on to support the project.
Leslie Hook
In May . . .
Michela Tindera
That’s Leslie again.
Leslie Hook
We reported at the FT in collaboration with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism that one of the biggest insurance groups in the world, Marsh McLennan, had actually signed on to provide reinsurance to this project. And they decided to do that in spite of the fact that they had employees asking them not to because of the significant environmental impacts and risks that the project presented. But based on what we know today, the project is still progressing. The pipeline is going to be built. And when I visited the central processing facility in the Buliisa area of Uganda, you know, the ground was being prepared. There’s trucks going in and out. You really get a sense that things are happening, and this project appears to be going forward. But we don’t know yet who will be funding it. By targeting these financial institutions, the campaigners are making it more difficult and more costly for this project to get backing and to get off the ground. Now, it’s still not impossible. And it looks likely that this project will ultimately receive financing likely from Chinese banks, maybe Japanese banks and African banks. We don’t know who will end up financing it yet, but it does seem like they’ll be able to access capital from other sources. But the campaign, by targeting financial institutions, has made it more difficult and sort of more embarrassing, if you will, to raise the money they need to develop this project and to build the pipeline.
Michela Tindera
A spokesperson for Total told the FT that they’re actively working on the project’s financing with a pool of western, Asian and African banks. They said that they expect the financing process and due diligence to be completed later this year. Even if these efforts aren’t successful for EACOP, Coleen Scott, who we met earlier, believes that this work has the potential to leave an impact on future projects down the line.
Coleen Scott
I think, yes, you’re seeing more and more projects, campaigns of this size and scale, really focusing in on that finance advocacy piece and realising how crucial it is to ensure that the money is not in place for these projects to move forward. And I think that there’s also a changing trend within the financial industry, where banks and insurers are becoming more used to becoming targets of this sort of advocacy. And they’re sensitive to those risks. They don’t want to be seen as, as the laggards in their industry.

PHOENIX (AP) — Clayton Kershaw pitched seven dominant innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers won the NL West for the ninth time in 10 seasons, blanking the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-0 Tuesday night.
Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy and Joey Gallo homered as the Dodgers boosted the best record in the majors to 98-43. They lead second-place San Diego by a whopping 20 1/2 games.
Manager Dave Roberts' team will have plenty of time to get set for its 10th straight year in the postseason. The Dodgers' first playoff game is almost a month away, on Oct. 11.
The only season the Dodgers didn't clinch the division in their recent run was last year — they won 106 times but still finished one game behind San Francisco. Los Angeles then beat the Giants in the NL Division Series before falling to eventual champion Atlanta in the NLCS.
A crowd of 21,143, mostly clad in Dodger blue, watched the clincher. It’s the Dodgers’ 20th NL West crown since the majors split into divisions in 1969.
Kershaw (8-3) was sharp throughout, allowing just two singles and one walk while striking out five. He threw just 82 pitches, 55 for strikes. He lowered his season ERA to 2.44.
Caleb Ferguson and Craig Kimbrel finished the combined three-hit shutout.
Gallo’s home run, his 17th, cleared the center-field wall and gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the second. The homer was measured at 438 feet. Muncy led off the inning with a single off Merrill Kelly — literally— as it bounced off the pitcher to the vacated left side of the infield.
Freeman led off the third inning with his 20th homer, a 442-foot drive to right-center into the swimming pool area.
Muncy’s homer, also his 20th, came against Taylor Widener in the seventh.
Kelly (12-6) lasted five innings, losing for the first time in 14 starts. He gave up five hits, walked five and struck out eight. He threw 96 pitches — 30 in the long second inning and 29 more in the third.
It was the second straight shutout by the Dodgers in Arizona. Tyler Anderson and two relievers handled the Diamondbacks 6-0 on Monday.
GOT THEIR NUMBER
After Tuesday’s win, the Dodgers are 27-5 against Arizona in the last two seasons.
WEB GEMS
Mookie Betts, back in his usual spot in right field, made a sliding catch in the corner after a long run to take an extra-base hit from Jake McCarthy in the seventh inning. Betts started at second base on Monday.
In the eighth, McCarthy returned the favor, grabbing Betts’ drive down the line in foul territory.
NOT TONIGHT
Diamondbacks 1B Christian Walker entered Tuesday with a .318 average against Kershaw with four home runs in 22 at-bats, but he struck out twice and grounded out against the All-Star lefty.
BACK IN TIME
The Dodgers activated RHP Tommy Kahnle from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and designated RHP Heath Hembree for assignment.
Kahnle, 33, missed three months with forearm inflammation. He has pitched just four games for the Dodgers this season but has postseason experience with the New York Yankees in 2017 and ’19.
“To get a guy who’s pitched in high leverage, pitched in big games, to have him back is huge,” Roberts said. “The timing is good. He hasn’t pitched a whole lot this season, so having a few weeks to get him re-acclimated is a good thing.”
Roberts said 2B Gavin Lux (back), sidelined since Sept. 1, will have a simulated game Wednesday. Roberts said he’s close to returning.
NEXT
RHP Michael Grove (4.82) makes his third start of the season for the Dodgers against Arizona RHP Zach Davies (2-4, 4.09) Wednesday in the finale of the three-game series at Chase Field.

CHICAGO (AP) — Eloy Jiménez hit a three-run homer and Miguel Cairo directed the Chicago White Sox to another victory, topping the Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Michael Kopech pitched five effective innings as Chicago remained three games back of AL Central-leading Cleveland, which rallied for a 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Angels. José Abreu also went deep, and Liam Hendriks handled the ninth for his 33rd save.
The White Sox improved to 10-4 since Cairo stepped in for manager Tony La Russa, who is awaiting clearance to return to the dugout after dealing with a heart issue. The 77-year-old La Russa was at the ballpark before the game, but it was Cairo's lineup card once again.
“Today I’m the manager. Tomorrow I don’t know,” said Cairo, a former big league infielder who usually serves as La Russa's bench coach. “But that’s in my job right now and I’m glad he’s around because I always ask him questions about what I could have done better or different or stuff like that.”
Alan Trejo hit a two-run homer for last-place Colorado in the club's first game at Guaranteed Rate Field since 2008.
Chad Kuhl (6-9) got off to a rough start, and the Rockies never recovered. With one out and runners on the corners in the first, Jiménez drove a 1-0 slider deep to center for his 13th homer.
Kuhl bent over on the mound as Jiménez's shot soared through the night. But the right-hander settled down from there, tossing 6 1/3 innings of six-hit ball.
Kopech (5-9) allowed two runs and three hits in his first win since July 26. Jimmy Lambert surrendered two singles in the sixth, but he escaped the jam when Brendan Rodgers flied to center.
Reynaldo López and Kendall Graveman each got three outs before Hendriks finished the five-hitter.
Chicago got a valuable insurance run in the eighth when Abreu hit a leadoff drive to left-center against Justin Lawrence. It was the first homer for the 2020 AL MVP since Aug. 3 and No. 15 on the season.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Rockies: SS José Iglesias (right hand contusion) is improving, according to manager Bud Black, but there is no timeline for his return. Black said they have to make sure he is “comfortable and confident” with his grip strength. ... INF/OF Kris Bryant (plantar fasciitis in left foot) is throwing and taking swings again, but Black said he isn't sure if he will be able to return this season.
White Sox: All-Star SS Tim Anderson has been cleared to begin ramping up his baseball activity. He had surgery last month to repair a tear on the middle finger of his left hand. ... CF Luis Robert returned to the starting lineup after missing five games because of left wrist soreness.
UP NEXT
White Sox ace Dylan Cease (14-6, 2.06 ERA) goes for his third straight win on Wednesday. The right-hander has allowed just two runs and six hits in his last 23 innings. Kyle Freeland (8-9, 4.63 ERA) starts for the Rockies. The lefty tossed six innings of one-run ball in an 8-4 victory over Milwaukee last week.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – In 1999, a pregnant victim of a fatal stabbing attack gave birth to her daughter during emergency surgery. Twenty years later, her daughter died. Now, officials have ruled her death a homicide as well.
In 1999, Danielle Scott was eight months pregnant when police say she was stabbed in Oklahoma City.
“The victim from that incident was taken to an area hospital where sadly, she died,” said Sgt. Dillon Quirk, with the Oklahoma City Police Department. “Simultaneously, doctors had performed a cesarean section.”
That’s when baby Kasiah Scott was born. She suffered life-long medical problems and lived at Bethany Children’s Health Center for 20 years.
Sadly, she died there on Nov. 23, 2019.
It wasn’t until this summer, over two years later, that the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide due to birth complications from when her mother was stabbed.
Quirk said the department’s investigators have taken over and will present the case to the district attorney’s office.
James Patrick Lesley and Ricardo Virgo Blonner, convicted of Danielle Scott’s murder in 1999, are currently in prison but could face new charges related to Kasiah’s death.

Smart Eye and OMNIVISION Announce Next Generation Automotive Interior Sensing Solution That Satisfies GSR and Euro NCAP Requirements
The partners progress their longstanding collaboration by presenting the leading edge of in- cabin sensing technologies at AutoSens Brussels 2022
Smart Eye AB, the global leader in interior sensing AI and driver monitoring system (DMS) software for the automotive industry, and OMNIVISION, a leading global developer of semiconductor solutions, including advanced digital imaging, analog and touch & display technology, today announced their combined solution for unparalleled accuracy in automotive interior sensing. This solution will be demonstrated at AutoSens Brussels, September 12-14, 2022.
The solution pairs Smart Eye's world-leading algorithms for interior sensing AI and OMNIVISION's next generation RGB-IR BSI global shutter (GS) sensor for in-cabin and occupant monitoring systems (IMS and OMS). It provides automotive OEMs with optimal interior sensing functions that are fully compliant with General Safety Regulations (GSR) and Euro New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) requirements.
OMNIVISION's GS sensor has the smallest 2.2-micron pixel and highest 940 nm near- infrared (NIR) sensitivity in its class. It offers state-of-the-art performance, enabling single- LED designs, instead of 2 to 4 LEDs, reducing power consumption, size and cost. Glow is also minimized due to OMNIVISION's groundbreaking Nyxel® NIR technology, which uses novel silicon semiconductor architectures and processes to achieve the world's highest quantum efficiency for DMS of 36% at the invisible 940nm NIR light wavelength, providing the clearest driver images for use by AI software algorithms. In addition, the small pixel and a-CSPTM package further reduce camera module size. Coupled with Smart Eye's new and enhanced interior sensing algorithms, it can deliver a complete, seamless solution for automotive OEMs.
"Interior sensing requires sensors that offer high-end performance in complex environments," said Detlef Wilke, VP of Automotive Solutions at Smart Eye. "As the next generation of cars are brought to higher levels of autonomy, the innovative interior sensing capabilities enabled by these advanced technologies will be in high demand from automotive OEMs. This longstanding partnership with OMNIVISION positions us to meet the needs of the industry both today, and in the future."
"GSR and Euro NCAP regulations will put added requirements on sensing capabilities for IMS, DMS and OMS," said Andy Hanvey, director of automotive marketing at OMNIVISION. "The next generation pixel meets these requirements and only requires 1 LED. When combined with Smart Eye's cutting-edge algorithm, this is a compelling solution for automotive OEMs."

The Emmy Awards hit a new low in viewership on Monday night, with its estimated audience of 5.9 million people, even smaller than the COVID-19-disrupted ceremony two years ago. The Nielsen company said the ceremony honoring television’s best work, where Ted Lasso was named best comedy and Succession best drama, was down from the 7.4 million people who watched in 2021.
Usually shown on a Sunday night, the Emmys were shifted to Monday to make way for NBC’s first Sunday Night Football game the night before. It couldn’t escape football, however, since it competed against a tight Monday Night Football game.
The Emmys were hosted by Kenan Thompson of Saturday Night Live. The previous low point for the Emmys, with 6.1 million people, came with a drastically downsized show because of the pandemic in 2020.
While football had its impact, Emmys ratings have been on a steady slide since the awards began to be dominated by shows on cable and streaming services. With so many more television programs being offered, there are fewer that draw the big audiences that were routine in the days when broadcast television dominated.
The last time the Emmys exceeded 10 million viewers was 2018, when it reached an audience of 10.2 million. The Emmys had 21.8 million viewers in 2000, a level it will probably never reach again.
