There’s a new Jersey Housewife in town.
According to Page Six, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast has officially made a big change. As previously rumored, Jackie Goldschneider has been demoted to a friend of and newcomer Rachel Fuda has taken her place, becoming the franchise’s first new full-time cast member since season 9.
Heavy has reached out to Fuda for comment.
Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider joined the RHONJ cast in season 9, but there haven’t been any full-time additions since then. Producers tried out a friend in season 12, but Traci Johnson didn’t last and was dropped from the show after just one season.
Page Six also reported that newcomer Danielle Cabral was also brought on as a full-time cast member.
Here’s what you need to know:
Fuda Is Pals With Melissa Gorga
Fuda and her husband John are parents to three kids. As evidenced by her Instagram account, Fuda is friends with RHONJ star Melissa Gorga.
“Love making memories with you ladies,” she captioned a pic alongside Gorga, Goldschneider and season 13 friend of Jenn Fessler in August 2022.
“The beauties,” co-star Margaret Josephs commented on the photo.
“Love uuuu,” wrote Goldschneider.
“Couldn’t love u more,” Fessler added.
Although it’s unclear what kind of drama the ladies will get into during season 13, there were two people noticeably missing from the comments section: Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin.
As for Dolores Catania, while she didn’t comment on that photo specifically, she did comment on a pic from Fuda’s daughter’s baptism.
“God bless u sweet Guiliana u look like a little cherub on your special day,” Catania commented on the post that Fuda shared on September 6, 2022. Josephs, Gorga, and Fessler all commented on that post as well.
A Fight Broke Out During the Filming of the RHONJ Finale
It seems that things may have been going okay during season 13 and Giudice even got to a good place with Margaret Josephs — the RHONJ OG even invited her and her husband to her wedding.
However, things took a drastic turn while the women were filming the finale. Although there aren’t many concrete details about what went down, the fight created a new rift between Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, and, of course, Melissa. Things were so bad that Joe and Melissa decided to skip Giudice’s wedding.
“Obviously, we did not attend your sister’s wedding. We have a laundry list — right? — Of reasons in our heads and why and I will let all my listeners know this — you know, obviously, there was something that went down at the finale of filming ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’. Those exact details, I obviously cannot say today. Anything that we have filmed is something that I am not able to talk about,” Melissa said on the August 11, 2022, episode of the “On Display” podcast.
Catania’s ex-husband Frank also spoke out about the finale fight.
“It got so crazy. When I tell you… Let’s put it this way: There had to be people in between the women; there had to be people in between the men,” he told Page Six. No word on whether Fuda was at the party when everything went down.

This role-playing adventure from Bandai Namco is coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation.
Originally released on GameCube, the mythical Tales of Symphonia will come to life with a new remastering that has been presented in the last Nintendo Direct, where we have been able to see a trailer and also discover its launch window, set at early 2023.
Tales of Symphonia Remastered adapts the original GC game to the new times, which at the time was also adapted to PlayStation 2, although seen in the presentation, it seems that the fair improvements have been made to make it look good more resolution without altering the GameCube classic much more.
“Our goal with Tales of Symphonia Remastered is to introduce this long-awaited chapter in the series to the entire a new generation of gamers“, Bandai Namco has reported. “Our goal is to offer an experience that is faithful to the original and at the same time attractive to a whole new audience of gamers with improvements that update the graphics and add improvements to the gameplay”, adds the person in charge of the brand in America, Summer Nguyen.
Interestingly, in the past Bandai Namco has already released an HD collection on PC and PlayStation 3 with Tales of Symphonia and its sequel. In the trailer we can see the in-game scenes, as well as the animation sequences that narrate the story of one of the episodes of the Tales of saga most loved by fans of the series.
More about: Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Symphony Remastered and Bandai Namco.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee police say officers fatally shot a man after their squad car was struck by gunfire.
Officials are searching for two other suspects who fled from the scene of the shooting Tuesday night on the city's north side, police said.
Three tactical officers responded to gunshots detected by Shotspotter technology about 9 p.m. and as they arrived, gunshots struck the officers' car and narrowly missed them, according to police.
Officials said the officers fired their weapons in return and their gunfire struck one suspect, a 40-year-old Milwaukee man, several times. Officers attempted life saving measures and the suspect was taken to the hospital where he later died. No one else was hit by gunfire.
The two other suspects fled on foot and were still on the run Wednesday morning.
Police said a handgun used by one of the suspects, which was equipped with a high-capacity drum magazine, was recovered at the scene.
The three male officers involved, ages 30, 34 and 49, are on standard administrative leave while the shooting is investigated by Wauwatosa police.

Greece’s Irene Papas, who earned Hollywood fame, dies at 93
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Irene Papas, the Greek actress and recording artist renowned for her dramatic performances and austere beauty that earned her prominent roles in Hollywood movies as well as in French and Italian cinema over six decades has died. She was 93.
The Greek Culture Ministry confirmed her death Wednesday.
“Magnificent, majestic, dynamic, Irene Papas was the personification of Greek beauty on the cinema screen and on the theater stage, an international leading lady who radiated Greekness,” Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said in a statement.
Papas became known internationally following performances in “The Guns of Navarone” in 1961 and “Zorba the Greek” in 1964, acting alongside Hollywood stars Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn. In all, she starred in more than 50 movies.
Born Irene Lelekou in a mountainous village near the southern Greek city of Corinth, Papas was the daughter of two schoolteachers. Her father was also a drama teacher.
Papas left home at 18 to marry Greek film director Alkis Papas despite her family’s disapproval. They divorced four years later. After the death of American Actor Marlon Brando in 2004, Papas revealed in an Italian newspaper interview that the two had been romantically involved.
A supporter of the Greek Communist Party, Papas was a vocal opponent of the military dictatorship that governed the country between 1967 and 1974 and lived much for life outside Greece, including in Rome and New York.
Papas was also known for her appearance in ancient Greek tragedies. Many of her iconic international movie roles were earned portraying Greek characters. But she also starred with Kirk Douglas in the 1968 crime drama “Brotherhood” and with James Cagney in the 1956 Western “Tribute to a Bad Man.”
Greek arts institutions thanked Papas for her support for younger actors. The Athens-based Greek Film Center described her as “The greatest Greek international film star,” adding: “Her image is a timeless imprint of Greek female beauty.”

EXPLAINER: What's behind the new Armenia-Azerbaijan fighting
A flare-up in fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan has killed about 100 troops on both sides, fueling fears of even wider hostilities between the longtime adversaries
EXPLAINER: What's behind the new Armenia-Azerbaijan fighting
Show all 2Border clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan have killed about 100 troops on both sides in the largest outbreak of fighting between the longtime adversaries in nearly two years, fueling fears of even bigger hostilities.
Here is a look at the decades-long conflict between the two neighbors, and the latest clashes.
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
Armenia and Azerbaijan have faced each other off in a conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh for more than three decades.
The mountainous region is part of Azerbaijan, but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994.
The territory in the southern Caucasus covers an area of roughly 4,400 square kilometers (1,700 square miles), about the size of the U.S. state of Delaware.
During the Soviet era, the mostly Armenian-populated region had an autonomous status within Azerbaijan. Long-simmering tensions between Christian Armenians and mostly Muslim Azeris, fueled by memories of the 1915 massacre of 1.5 million Armenians by Muslim Ottoman Turks, boiled over as the Soviet Union frayed in its final years.
Fighting broke out in 1988 when the region made a bid to join Armenia, and after the 1991 Soviet collapse hostilities escalated into a full-blown war, killing an estimated 30,000 people and displacing about 1 million.
When the war ended with a cease-fire in 1994, Armenian forces not only held Nagorno-Karabakh itself but also broad areas outside the territory’s borders.
International mediation efforts over the following decades failed to achieve a diplomatic settlement.
THE 2020 WAR
On September 27, 2020, Azerbaijan launched an operation called “Iron Fist” to reclaim control over Nagorno-Karabakh.
NATO-member Turkey, which has close ethnic, cultural and historic bonds with Azerbaijan, offered it strong support.
In six weeks of fighting involving heavy artillery, rockets and drones that killed more than 6,700 people, Azeri troops drove Armenian forces out of areas they controlled outside the separatist region and also seized broad chunks of Nagorno-Karabakh proper.
A Russia-brokered peace deal on Nov. 10 allowed Azerbaijan to reclaim control of the areas occupied by Armenian forces outside Nagorno-Karabakh for nearly three decades, including the Lachin region, which holds the main road leading from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia. Armenian forces also agreed to surrender control over significant sections of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Russia has deployed about 2,000 troops to the region to serve as peacekeepers under the deal.
The agreement triggered years of protests in Armenia, where the opposition denounced it as a betrayal of the country's interests and called for the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Pashinyan has weathered the pressure, defending the deal as the only way to prevent Azerbaijan from seizing all of Nagorno-Karabakh.
AND THE NEW HOSTILITIES?
Sporadic clashes between Azeri and Armenian forces have repeatedly erupted in the area, but the fighting that began Tuesday was the most serious since the 2020 peace deal.
Both sides blamed each other for starting hostilities, with Armenia accusing Azerbaijan of an unprovoked attack and Baku saying it was responding to shelling by Armenian forces.
Armenia said at least 49 of its soldiers were killed while Azerbaijan said it lost 50.
Russia moved quickly to help negotiate an end to hostilities, but a cease-fire it tried to broker has failed to hold and clashes have continued.
Late Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin chaired a call with leaders of countries belonging to the Collective Security Treaty Organization, a Moscow-dominated grouping of several ex-Soviet nations that includes Armenia. The leaders agreed to send a fact-finding mission including top officials from the grouping to the conflict area.

Lithium Stocks In The Spotlight
Here's a company — undiscovered by Wall Street and trading below $0.30 per share — which just recently uncovered 8 high-quality targets on unexplored ground, and drills will be turning later this year.

The flu shot is as familiar an October ritual as football, foliage and Halloween.
But health officials are urging Americans to get the new flu shot and COVID booster at the same time — the sooner, the better.
“Right where we are now — that’s a good time to be vaccinated,” influenza expert Dr. Lisa Grohskopf of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told the nation’s physicians in a conference call late last week.
That’s ahead of time, by traditional measures. Flu season most often peaks in February — and our levels of protective antibodies are at their highest about two weeks after the shot, then wane over the next four to six months.
Yet this year’s season could start early if it follows the pattern seen elsewhere in the world. So a delay could catch people unprepared.
There’s another concern: People may not want to make two trips to the vaccination clinic — so they may get the new COVID booster but fail to return for the flu.
Is there a perfect time to be vaccinated?
If you have a crystal ball, “it’s 14 days before the flu attacks the community that you’re living in,” said Dr. Darvin Scott Smith, clinical lead for flu vaccination at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, who has already gotten his shot.
Here’s the problem: Nobody knows when that will be.
Nearly four decades of CDC data shows that 45% of flu seasons peak in February.
But 18% of the time, the season peaks as early as December. In another 16%, it peaks as late as March. Protection isn’t assured until two weeks after your shot.
“It is impossible to predict the flu season with any accuracy,” said Dr. Kelly L. Moore, president of Immunize.org, a nonprofit group that works to increase immunization rates.
If you want to save time and travel, said Moore, get your flu shot when you get the new COVID booster, now widely available at California’s pharmacies and clinics. It’s safe and will spare you a return trip. There’s no data to show that side effects will be worse.
A flu shot won’t protect against COVID, and a COVID shot won’t protect against flu. The two vaccines are very different.
“I really believe this is why God gave us two arms — one for the flu shot and the other one for the COVID shot,” White House COVID coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said at a Sept. 6 news briefing.
Children who need two doses of the flu vaccine — those six months through 8 years who have never been vaccinated — should receive their first dose immediately, said experts.
A September shot will create antibodies that can persist long enough to help fend off a later infection, experts said. And even if they don’t, you’ll get less seriously ill than if you weren’t vaccinated at all.
“I’m going to try to get my flu vaccine at the earliest opportunity,” said Dr. Bali Pulendran, professor of immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine
“Even if the durability of the antibody response is just a few months, I should be good throughout the season,” he said.
September also offers a practical advantage: It’s easier to get an appointment. Everyone won’t all be rushing in at once, as could happen once the virus arrives.
October is the optimal time from an immunological perspective, experts said. Like all cells, antibodies die of old age. A Kaiser study found a 16% increase in the odds of catching the flu every additional 28 days after peak protection.
That’s especially true for older adults, who experience a greater waning of protection than younger people.
“Just don’t forget,” said Moore. “When the opportunity arises, get it.”
If you’re not vaccinated by October, it’s not too late. Vaccines help as long as flu viruses are circulating.
Once spring comes, you may be worried about protection. But don’t get a second flu vaccine, said Smith.
Forecasting a flu season is always a challenge. It can vary in different parts of the country. Every year is different.
Because COVID has changed our behaviors, “the old rules — what we knew about when flu starts, when it ends — may not work this year,” said UCSC infectious disease expert Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, who aims to get his shot in mid-October.
“I wouldn’t game the system,” he said. “If the flu has a slow burn, you’ll want it before it peaks.”
There are three reasons to be cautious, said Smith.
Based on this year’s experience in the Southern Hemisphere, flu season could come early. U.S. health officials look to Australian trends for guidance — and cases there started in April instead of the usual June.
It also was a worse season than the two previous years when people were masked and distancing, said Kaiser’s Smith. Behaviors have changed. People are going out more.
Finally, we have less overall immunity to the flu because we’ve been sitting it out for two years, with lower vaccination rates and reduced exposure to the flu virus.
Last year, flu season was mild but ran long. Experts were surprised by a second small peak, with cases jumping in April and May.
Infectious disease trends “are all whacked out,” said Chin-Hong. It’s not just flu — the timing of the common respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), monkeypox and other pathogens have proved startling, he said.
To be sure, flu vaccines are far from perfect. CDC data shows that efficacy ranges widely from year to year, falling to 19% in 2014-15 and climbing to 52% in 2013-14. This year’s vaccines are “quadrivalent,” meaning they target four different strains of the flu virus; of these, two are different from last year’s shot.
Circulating viruses may also genetically drift over time, so a vaccine that is well matched in September may be mismatched in March.
Scientists are now striving to build a better flu vaccine, so it’s less critical to time shots perfectly, said Pulendran.
The biggest worry now is not whether the shots are perfectly scheduled — but that people will skip the vaccines altogether, or just forget, said Moore.
“If you sit down at the Thanksgiving table with someone who is sick,” she said, “it’s too late.”

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in an interview that a report about former President Trump insisting that he would stay in the White House after losing the 2020 election “affirms the reality of the danger” of trying to overturn its results.
A new book to be published next month by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman reportedly reveals that Trump told aides he would remain in the White House after President Biden’s inauguration, CNN reported early Monday.
“I’m just not going to leave,” Trump reportedly told an aide. “We’re never leaving. How can you leave when you won an election?”
When asked about the book’s revelation, Cheney said she wasn’t surprised by Trump’s reported comments but said it exposed an issue of people believing his efforts to overturn the election “wasn’t as dangerous as it really was.”
“And when you hear something like that, I think you have to recognize that we were in no man’s land and territory we’d never been in before as a nation,” Cheney told anchor Jake Tapper in an interview set to air Sunday evening as part of a CNN documentary titled “American Coup: The January 6th Investigation.”
“And if you have a president who’s refusing to leave the White House, or who’s saying he refuses to leave the White House, then anyone who sort of stands aside and says someone else will handle it is themselves putting the nation at risk, because it’s clear that, when you’re at a moment that we faced, everyone’s got to stand up and take responsibility,” Cheney said.
“It’s not surprising that those are the sentiments that he reportedly expressed,” Cheney added. “I think, again, it just affirms — affirms the reality of the danger.”
Cheney, who lost her bid to retain her congressional seat in Wyoming last month, has been a frequent critic of Trump and is the co-chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the Jan 6., 2021, attack at the Capitol.

Democratic candidates hold a 4-point lead over Republicans about two months out from the November midterm elections, according to the latest Morning Consult survey.
According to the poll, Democrats lead Republicans 48 percent to 44 percent in a generic congressional ballot, a similar edge the party held in August and July.
While Republicans are still expected to win the House amid economic uncertainty, the GOP’s advantage has steadily slipped following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June.
Still, the No. 1 issue ahead of the midterm elections is the economy, the Morning Consult survey shows, with 78 percent of voters listing that as a “very important” issue ahead of November.
About 52 percent of voters say abortion is a major issue, and 54 percent say gun policy is a very important concern.
Democrats and Republicans are neck-and-neck on voter enthusiasm.
About 56 percent of Democrats and 57 percent of Republican voters say they are “very” or “extremely” enthusiastic about the upcoming midterm elections, according to the Morning Consult survey.
President Biden, who once suffered job approval ratings below 40 percent that burdened the Democratic party ahead of the midterm elections, enjoys a 46 percent approval rating as of Sunday in the Morning Consult survey.
Biden has scored several victories in the past two months, including signing into law the historic tax, climate and health care bill the Inflation Reduction Act and announcing a plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for some borrowers, which was hailed by the left.
The latest Morning Consult poll was conducted Sept. 9-11 among 8,384 likely voters. The unweighted margin of error is 1 percentage point.

Top police officer chased and assaulted by saffron-clad protesters in eastern Indian city
BJP’s protest march in Kolkata turned violent as parts of city resembled battle zone
A top police officer in India’s eastern Kolkata city sustained serious injuries on Tuesday after being chased and assaulted by men allegedly associated with the country’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In a video of the incident, assistant commissioner of police Debajit Chattopadhyay can be seen being thrashed by a group of over 10 saffron-clad men wielding flag sticks.
Mr Chattopadhyay briefly escapes the crowd before being chased by the alleged BJP workers to the end of the road, where he was attacked again.
The officer was then escorted by some locals as the mob continued chasing him. He suffered multiple fractures and was admitted to a hospital for treatment.
This was one of the several incidents of violence and arson that have turned parts of the city into a battle zone.
BJP members clashed with police during a protest march held by them against the West Bengal state government led by the country’s only woman chief minister and staunch BJP critic — Mamata Banerjee.
Kolkata was turned into a fortress by the city police after they were forced to barricade multiple roads to prevent demonstrators from marching further.
The BJP, which is the primary opposition party in West Bengal, staged the march to protest against the administration of Ms Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) party over recent allegations of corruption and scams.
A police vehicle was also torched near the central part of the city after protesters were barred from marching toward the state secretariat building in Howrah area. A police kiosk was damaged as well.
At least 56 police personnel were injured during the protest march, while over 300 BJP workers, including some senior state functionaries, were reportedly wounded during the clashes.
The scuffles continued for several hours, with police resorting to teargas and water cannon to disperse the crowd. The protesters hit back at officers by pelting stones.
Four people were arrested for allegedly assaulting the police officer and setting a police vehicle ablaze following a night-long raid in parts of the city.
The suspects were charged with attempt to murder, destruction of government property and preventing public servants from performing duty.
“The raids are still going on,” an officer was quoted by news agency PTI as saying on Wednesday afternoon.
A total of 139 people have been arrested in relation to Tuesday’s violence.
The BJP claimed the violence was carried out by TMC members who made their way into the protest march. “Our activists are being framed and false charges slapped against them,” said Dilip Ghosh, the BJP’s national vice president.
However, according the state administration, the police showed “tremendous restraint”.
“Chapter 1 in BJP’s New Education Policy: how to methodically torch police vehicle. BJP simians in Kolkata yesterday,” wrote TMC lawmaker Mahua Moitra on Twitter.

Hull City
“Pressure will grow” – Is Shota Arveladze the right man to take Hull City forward? The verdict
This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict‘ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…
Hull City boss Shota Arveladze is now roughly eight months into his tenure as Tigers boss.
After steering the club safely clear of relegation last season, though, the aims for this campaign have shifted.
After a summer of ambitious recruitment, the expectation is that the Tigers will finish well above their 19th-placed Championship finish from 2021/22.
However, Arveladze has achieved mixed results so far in 2022/23, with the Tigers sitting 15th in the table after last night’s 3-0 thumping at the hands of Stoke City.
With that in mind, we asked three of our FLW writers if they believed the Hull City boss was the right man to lead the club forwards.
Simmey Hannifin-Donaldson
I think Shota Arveladze deserves time either way, whether that be to prove he is the right man for the job, or to prove that he is not.
As ambitious as Hull’s recruitment has been summer, any manager, regardless of the quality of players arriving, is going to have a tough time integrating 16 new arrivals.
We’ve seen some brilliant performances from the Tigers so far and some eye-catching results, but, there have also been some heavy defeats and bad losses thrown in there too.
I think that mixed start simply reflects that the club are a team needing to gel.
As such, Arveladze should be afforded plenty more time yet, but, if he doesn’t improve results over the next couple of months, you can understand why he’d be under pressure.
Hull City quiz: Which club do these 20 ex-Tigers youth players play for now?

Arveladze is still just in the door with Hull really, especially considering the summer was his first chance to really shape the squad and overhaul it to his liking.
But time is a precious resource in football and results are the only thing that truly matters, so improvements will need to be made in order for him to retain his job long-term.
There have been flashes of promise during his time at the MKM Stadium that suggest he could bring Hull further up the Championship table.
However, if the club is hoping for a promotion push this season, then it is unlikely that the 49-year old will be up to the task.
If the club takes a more long-term approach to progress, then perhaps he could be the man for the job.
Results will need to improve pretty quickly though, with the team having lost four of their last five games which will see the pressure mount on his future.
Sam Rourke
There is no denying that Hull’s recent form has been alarming.
Four defeats from the club’s last five Championship games is not pretty reading for Arveladze at the Tigers so he will need to arrest the slump sooner rather than later.
The former Rangers striker has a talented team at his disposal with Hull owner Acun Ilicali pumping in the money to allow the club to make plenty of eye-catching signings this summer.
However, with such a high turnover of players you still get the feeling that Arveladze is trying to work out the best way to utilise the squad and at this early stage of the season, I personally think he needs time to see if he can get the best out of them.
There has been moments of quality at the MKM Stadium this season but their form needs to pick-up soon and a poor result against Swansea on the weekend will only heighten the scrutiny on the manager.
Pressure will grow though, if results fail to improve.

Democratic candidates hold a 4-point lead over Republicans about two months out from the November midterm elections, according to the latest Morning Consult survey.
According to the poll, Democrats lead Republicans 48 percent to 44 percent in a generic congressional ballot, a similar edge the party held in August and July.
While Republicans are still expected to win the House amid economic uncertainty, the GOP’s advantage has steadily slipped following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June.
Still, the No. 1 issue ahead of the midterm elections is the economy, the Morning Consult survey shows, with 78 percent of voters listing that as a “very important” issue ahead of November.
About 52 percent of voters say abortion is a major issue, and 54 percent say gun policy is a very important concern.
Democrats and Republicans are neck-and-neck on voter enthusiasm.
About 56 percent of Democrats and 57 percent of Republican voters say they are “very” or “extremely” enthusiastic about the upcoming midterm elections, according to the Morning Consult survey.
President Biden, who once suffered job approval ratings below 40 percent that burdened the Democratic party ahead of the midterm elections, enjoys a 46 percent approval rating as of Sunday in the Morning Consult survey.
Biden has scored several victories in the past two months, including signing into law the historic tax, climate and health care bill the Inflation Reduction Act and announcing a plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for some borrowers, which was hailed by the left.
The latest Morning Consult poll was conducted Sept. 9-11 among 8,384 likely voters. The unweighted margin of error is 1 percentage point.

BELFAST — Britain’s King Charles vented his frustration at a leaky pen on Tuesday during a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland, the second time in recent days he has shown visible irritation during such proceedings.
Charles, visiting Northern Ireland as part of a tour of the United Kingdom to lead mourning for his mother Queen Elizabeth, was greeted by cheering crowds and welcoming speeches, before delivering his own pledge to the region.
Shortly after, when signing a visitors’ book in front of cameras at Hillsborough Castle near Belfast, Charles reacted in frustration when a pen he was using leaked on his hand.
“Oh god I hate this (pen)!” Charles said, standing up and handing the pen to his wife and Queen Consort Camilla.
“Oh look, it’s going everywhere,” Camilla said as Charles wiped his fingers.
“I can’t bear this bloody thing… every stinking time,” Charles said as he walked away.
Speaking before he was made king, one former aide told Reuters Charles could be fun, but was also short-tempered and demanding.
On Saturday when signing documents in London, an irritated Charles gestured for aides to help when a pen holder on the table got in his way.
When completing the documents on Tuesday he also used the wrong date, before checking with an aide who told him it was Sept 13, not Sept. 12.

California kidnapping hoax suspect could go to prison for 8 months
REDDING, Calif. - A woman from Redding who pleaded guilty to faking her own kidnapping could be going to prison.
Sherri Papini pleaded guilty in April to falsifying details about her alleged kidnapping in 2016.
Papini told investigators that two women held her captive in a closet, when, in actuality, she went to stay with her ex-boyfriend.

In in a court filing filed Tuesday, prosecutors said they'll ask the judge to sentence Papini to eight months in prison and three years of supervised release.
Officials said Papini's abduction hoax cost Shasta County, state and federal taxpayers, crime victims and donors more than $200,000.
She is scheduled to be sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court.

No Sheetz: Rezoning denied for East Main Street project
Plans for a Sheetz gas station at East Main Street and Taylor Road, once home to a mobile home park, have been derailed.
Skilken Gold Real Estate Development requested to rezone approximately 5.4 acres at 8555 E. Main St. from innovation district to a community commercial district.
The developer has been in contract to purchase 17 acres, which includes Shepard’s Mobile Home Court, from John A. Shepard of Thornville.
Reynoldsburg City Council rejected the zoning request by a 5-1 vote on Sept. 12.
Eric Elizondo, Skilken Gold senior vice president-operations, said Sept. 13 he had “no comment at this time” on council’s vote or about what’s next for the property.
Councilman Bhuwan Pyakurel voted against the denial.
Prior to the vote, Councilman Barth Cotner said he didn’t understand how a gas station “fits into our innovation district,” which − according to city code − “incorporates a mix of industrial and office uses that will facilitate the creation of economic centers that will serve Reynoldsburg and the surrounding communities.”
“With the limited spaces available in the city anymore and the demand for putting a gas station on one of the last of our hopeful places where another project could go, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense,” Cotner said.
In making a motion to deny the rezoning request, Councilman Louis Salvati cited city code and the standards the planning commission and City Council must consider in making recommendations and taking action, including “the compatibility of the proposed district and development plan with a comprehensive plan, or any area plans, to surrounding zoning districts, and to existing and planned land uses.”
The Reynoldsburg Planning Commission approved the rezoning request in July. Skilken provided additional plans at that time for two office buildings totaling more than 16,000 square feet and a “quick lubrication vehicle shop” on the site.
In December 2021, Skilken withdrew its initial application to rezone the land after residents of the mobile-home park said they were kept in the dark about plans to sell the property. At the time, they were informed they had 180 days to leave, and many feared they would not be able to find a new place to live on such short notice.
Skilken Gold hired R.H. Brown & Co. for “tens of thousands of dollars,” Elizondo said. The company provides relocation services and property management to assist tenants of the mobile home park.
Elizondo said more than 10 residents received more than $2,000 each in assistance to relocate.
More than 30 mobile homes were in the park last December.
No residents are currently on the property.
New Brice Park plans proposed
Reynoldsburg’s partnership with the city of Columbus to transform a stormwater-retention site into a park in the Brice Road corridor would include walking and biking trails, a small parking lot and a small amphitheater for outdoor classroom space, according to concept plans.
Engineering firm EMH&T presented its proposal to City Council Sept. 12.
Council heard the first of three readings that night of a $200,000 contract with the firm which, if approved, would be for engineering and design services, bidding and project management.
As part of the collaboration, Reynoldsburg would be responsible for the park’s development and design on 10-plus acres at 1455 Brice Road. The land, which is owned by Columbus, then would be leased to Reynoldsburg.
Columbus would reimburse Reynoldsburg up to $2 million for development.
Federal grant sought for Brice Road corridor
The city hopes to score a federal grant to help redesign Brice Road from Main Street to Livingston Avenue.
Reynoldsburg will apply for a Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant for a project that’s expected to top $10 million, Mayor Joe Begeny told City Council.
He’s asking council to allocate $33,630 from the city’s American Rescue Plan Fund for EMH&T to provide engineering services for the grant application.
The improvement plans could include realigning the Brice Road-Main Street intersection; full-depth repair of Brice Road from Main Street to Livingston Avenue; improved pedestrian access; bicycle paths; sidewalks and multipurpose paths; and dedicated crosswalks to connect the east and west sides of Brice Road to access Brice Park and the new Reynoldsburg Public Library and Alliance One Plaza.
Work wouldn’t begin until 2026, Begeny said.

You should see her near The Crown.
Billie Eilish reminisced on the time she met the Royal Family at the “No Time To Die” premiere — and revealed it was actually an awkward moment.
On Australian radio show NovaFM’s “Fitzy & Wippa,” the 20-year-old singer admitted she spent time leading up to the premiere studying Royal protocol and the proper etiquette to address the Royal Family — including curtsying, not shaking hands, not asking questions and not speaking unless spoken to.
“I was so worried about it,” Eilish admitted.
But when she was in the presence of then-Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton, she suddenly forgot everything she worked so hard to learn.
“They all walked in and were like, ‘What’s up? How are you? How’s it going?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” she remembered.
The “bad guy” singer was surprised to see how “normal” the Royals were.
“They were just so nice and charming,” she said.
The “Happier Than Ever” singer shared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last year that she was actually given a complete list of protocols she had to follow.
She attended the premiere of the James Bond movie with her brother, Finneas, after they co-wrote the theme song for the movie.
Eilish was photographed having her fan-girl moment, shaking hands with Kate, the now-Princess of Wales, and sharing a sweet moment with now-King Charles III.
Charles became King immediately after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

New Study of Centrum Silver from COSMOS-Mind Demonstrates Significant Improvements in Participants' Cognitive Function.
WARREN, N.J., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New study results released today on the large-scale, clinical trial COSMOS-Mind, suggests that those who took Centrum Silver demonstrated significant improvement in cognitive function in comparison to placebo. These new findings provide additional evidence on the benefits of multivitamin supplementation in older adults.
Centrum, a leader in multivitamins for nearly 50 years, has a long history of supporting research to advance the science on benefits of vitamin/mineral supplementation. It is the most clinically studied multivitamin brand in the world. In continuing with this strong heritage, Centrum Silver product, placebo, and packaging was provided in support of the Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) trial.
Cognitive health, defined as the ability to think, learn and remember, is an essential component of our overall well-being as we age.1 Finding a way to support cognitive function in older adults is an important public health issue, as roughly two out of every three Americans experience some level of cognitive impairment around the age of 70.2 Additionally, according to a 2019 AARP Brain Health and Dietary Supplements survey, more than a quarter of Americans ages 50 and older regularly take supplements for their brain health, pointing to the growing concern older adults have around cognitive decline.
"We know that multivitamins are a practical and effective way to complement nutrition and support general health," shared Natalie Halpern, Brand Director, Centrum US. "The most recent data revealed by the COSMOS-Mind Study is an exciting and promising point on the role Centrum Silver multivitamins can play in supporting healthy aging, especially cognitive function."
Centrum Silver was specifically selected for the COSMOS-Mind trial which investigated the effects of multivitamin and cocoa flavonoid consumption on cognitive functioning in 2,262 women and men, 65 years and older, over the course of three years. The COSMOS-Mind team tested each participant's cognitive function via annual cognitive assessments.3
The results of the COSMO-Mind Study show that an intervention as simple as taking Centrum Silver could help support cognitive function, memory, and executive function in older adults.4* Participants who took Centrum Silver showed significant improvement in their episodic memory – the memory that is tied to specific events or experiences, as well as their executive function, which includes cognitive skills needed to carry out everyday activities as compared to placebo.5
A detailed report on the COSMOS-Mind Study published in Alzheimer & Dementia Journal can be found here.

Mexico are a familiar face at the World Cup, with an impressive track record that they'll be hoping to continue.
The team, one of the best in the Americas, is coached by Gerardo Martino, whose CV includes a year managing FC Barcelona in 2013, during which the side finished second in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, and two years managing the Argentina national team until 2016.
Since the 59-year-old began with Mexico in 2019, they have won the Gold Cup in 2019 but then lost the same tournament and CONCACAF Nations League final to the US last year.
Mexico World Cup 2022 squad
World Cup squads are usually announced around six weeks before the World Cup starts. This year the World Cup will run from November 21 to December 18.
Who are likely to be the star names in the squad?
Raul Jimenez is likely to be top of the starting line-up in Qatar, as a talented forward for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He has 30 goals in 97 caps for Mexico, with a touch that secured his team qualification back in March.
Elsewhere, captain and defensive midfielder Andrés Guardado has 175 caps, as well as a notable club career that has included the likes of PSV and Valencia.
What are Mexico's fixtures?
Mexico are in Group C alongside Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Poland.
Nov 22: Mexico vs Poland, Stadium 974, 4pm
Nov 26: Argentina vs Mexico, Lusail Iconic Stadium, 7pm
Nov 30: Saudi Arabia vs Mexico, Lusail Iconic Stadium, 7pm
See the full list of World Cup 2022 fixtures.
What is Mexico's World Cup record?
This will be Mexico's 17th appearance at the World Cup, a number that only Brazil, Germany, Italy and Argentina have exceeded.
Mexico and Brazil are the only two nations to make it out of the group stage over the last seven World Cups, but Mexico has failed to progress beyond the final 16 at each of the last eight World Cups.
Mexico reached the quarter finals of the 1970 and 1986 tournaments, in which they placed sixth.
As a standout team in the Americas, Mexico have won eleven confederation titles, including eight CONCACAF Gold Cups and three of its precursor, the CONCACAF Championships.
Latest odds
Mexico are currently 150/1 to win the World Cup 2022.
The leading contenders...
- Brazil 9/2
- France 6/1
- England 11/2
- Argentina 7/1
Odds correct as of September 14.

One year after its return to market, Sorel celebrates a spree of industry awards and explosive cross-country distribution, solidifying the trend prediction that 2022 is the year of hibiscus
NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sorel, the hibiscus liqueur inspired by sorrel, the ancestral Afro-Caribbean beverage, is the most-awarded liqueur of 2022. Sorel returned to shelves in October 2021 with the support of Fawn Weaver and the Uncle Nearest Venture Fund, which invests in BIPOC/minority-founded spirits businesses. The spirit swept every major beverage award this year with Gold honors or higher, and as Sorel approaches the first anniversary of its relaunch, founder Jackie Summers–acclaimed author, activist, entrepreneur, and self-taught distiller–reflects back on the last year to acknowledge the forces that brought this reincarnation to life.
"With Sorel's second iteration, I've learned the importance of finding the right partners–whether financial backers, business consultants, or bartenders–and letting them do what they do best," says Jackie Summers, Founder of Sorel. "The key to our success has been about putting values over valuations, which is an atypical approach, but it works every time. Our relationship with Uncle Nearest has been fruitful because it's not just a transactional investor relationship–we share the vision of honoring heritage and history through spirits."
Sorel earned a collection of coveted accolades during the 2022 spirits awards season, including top-ranking honors and distinctions from the industry's most important spirits awards:
- ADI International Spirits Competition - Best of Class (Bottled & Blended Spirit - Liqueur), Best of Category (Bottled & Blended Spirit - Herbal/Botanical/Spice Liqueur), Double Gold (Spirit Excellence)
- American Craft Spirits Association - Innovation Award
- Chilled Magazine - Chilled 100 Spirits Awards - Breakout Brand, 97 Points
- Craft Distillers Spirits Competition - Best of Class; 93 Points
- Distiller Magazine - 5/5 Star Rating
- Distillery Awards - Diamond Certification
- Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition - Gold Medal
- Great American International Spirits Competition - Best in Show; Platinum Medal
- John Barleycorn Awards - Double Gold (Bottle Design), Gold (Packaging Design)
- Micro Liquor Spirit Award Competition - Triple Gold (Spirit), Triple Gold (Packaging Design), 97 Points
- New Orleans Spirits Competition - Best in Category, Gold Medal
- New York International Spirits Competition - Double Gold, 96 points
- San Francisco World Spirits Competition - Gold Medal
- Singapore World Spirits Competition - Gold Medal
- Sip Awards - Platinum Medal
- Ultimate Spirits Challenge - Chairman's Trophy, 96 points, Top 100 Spirits, Extraordinary Ultra Recommendation
- Wine Enthusiast - Spirit Brand of the Year finalist (2021), 94 Points (2022)
- World Liqueur Awards - Best American Herbal Liqueur
- Craft Competition International Awards - Gold Medal

Following 623 failed attempts, Summers perfected the first and only shelf-stable sorrel liqueur. After an impressive debut in 2013, Sorel ceased production for several years, and was brought back to market in October 2021 with the support of Fawn Weaver and the Uncle Nearest Venture Fund. Sorel will be available in 20 states by the end of 2022, and continues to expand its presence in bars, restaurants, and retailers throughout the United States, as well as impending availability at Disney properties.

NEW YORK (AP) — The British author known in part for his news-making bestseller on Princess Diana has a biography of Queen Elizabeth II coming out Nov. 15. Andrew Morton's “The Queen” was supposed to be published in 2023, but it was moved to this fall after the queen died last week at age 96.
“During her long and storied reign Queen Elizabeth II devoted herself to her family and the wider family of nations. During times of national celebration and concern, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, she was the glue who kept the nation together," Morton said in a statement released Wednesday by Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group.
“Teasing out the character of the woman behind the impassive mask has been one of the challenges and fascinations of this biography,” he said.
According to Grand Central, Morton will draw upon archival research and his long relationships with palace insiders, including private secretaries and bodyguards. He has written unauthorized books on William, Prince of Wales and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex among others. But he had the cooperation of his subject for the 1992 release “Diana: Her True Story — in Her Own Words,” in which Diana acknowledged marital troubles with Prince Charles, now King Charles III.

Most Americans don’t want either President Biden or his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, to run for the White House again in 2024, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll shared exclusively with The Hill.
Two-thirds of voters surveyed – 67 percent – said that Biden shouldn’t seek another term in the Oval Office, with nearly half citing their belief that he’s a bad president as the reason why. Another 30 percent said it’s simply because Biden, who would be 84 by the time he takes the Oath of Office again, is too old for the job.
Trump, meanwhile, doesn’t fare much better when it comes to a 2024 run. Fifty-seven percent said that the former president shouldn’t mount another bid for the White House, despite his repeated hints that he plans to do so.
When it comes to the reason why most voters aren’t keen on another Trump White House run, respondents were divided. Thirty-six percent said that it’s because he is “erratic,” while another 33 percent said they believe he will divide the country. Nearly as many – 31 percent – pointed to his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
If the two men end up in a 2024 rematch, however, 60 percent of voters said they would be open to supporting a moderate independent candidate in the election.
The poll suggests that voters on both sides of the aisle are largely ready to move on from the bitter rivalries that have dominated U.S. politics in recent years, especially given the possibility that the 2024 presidential election could end up looking a lot like it did in 2020.
“Americans want a clear change from this president and the last one,” Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, said. “There will be a virtual voter revolt if these are the two candidates once again.”
Republicans, however, remain loyal to Trump, with 59 percent of GOP voters saying they would cast their ballot for him in the 2024 presidential primary. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, meanwhile, comes in a distant second place at 17 percent support.
Without Trump on the primary ballot, however, DeSantis would be the clear favorite for the GOP nomination. Thirty-nine percent of Republican respondents said they would support him, putting the Florida governor well ahead of the second-place finisher, former Vice President Mike Pence, who notched 18 percent.
Nevertheless, if asked to choose only between Biden and Trump, the former president would come out on top, according to the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll. Forty-five percent of respondents said they would vote for Trump over Biden in a head-to-head matchup, while 42 percent said they would reelect the Democratic incumbent.
Vice President Harris fares even worse in a matchup with Trump, notching only 40 percent support to his 47 percent. Still, she has a fighting chance against DeSantis. In a head-to-head contest, 41 percent said they would vote for Harris compared to 38 percent who would choose DeSantis, the poll found.
The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey was conducted between Sept. 7-8 among 1,885 registered voters. It is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris Poll.
The survey is an online sample drawn from the Harris Panel and weighted to reflect known demographics. As a representative online sample, it does not report a probability confidence interval.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- xtype, the DevOps platform that accelerates ServiceNow app development, announced today $5.8 million in seed funding in a round led by Columbia Capital with participation from Inner Loop Capital and SaaS Ventures. The company will use the funds to accelerate its product roadmap by growing the development team, as well as increase its presence in the US market, expanding its sales and customer success teams.
As enterprises undergo digital transformation, the need for business apps has skyrocketed. According to a recent report, Gartner expects that 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will use low-code or no-code technologies by 2025. Enterprises widely use ServiceNow's application development platform as it enables the rapid development of robust and secure apps. However, as applications built using low-code technologies take on an increasingly important role in supporting business-critical functions, there is a need for modern DevOps practices to be adopted.
"ServiceNow is the most robust platform for managing IT and developing enterprise applications," said Ron Gidron, founder and CEO of xtype. "However, without the agility that modern DevOps brings, it can take weeks or months to deploy ServiceNow updates. Manual deployment processes create inefficiencies, delaying releases and leading to costly errors. It's common practice for releases to be scheduled and performed during off-hours in anticipation of downtime."
xtype's deployment and release automation platform dramatically increase enterprises' ability to deliver new features and applications on ServiceNow. The platform boosts the productivity of development teams and reduces the number of errors and escalations by combining modern DevOps practices with advanced automation and synchronization technology. Using xtype, app releases are automated, and new versions are deployed with a single click, allowing teams to adopt a Continuous Delivery approach. Additionally, the platform provides 360° real-time command and control of an organization's ServiceNow ecosystem that prevents unwanted changes from being included in a release and provides cross-instance transparency on what's been updated, where, and by whom.
"xtype helps development teams get the most out of the ServiceNow platform," Gidron said. "Moving from manual release processes managed in spreadsheets and documents to a fully automated CI/CD pipeline enables our customers to go from deploying every few weeks to multiple times a day. We see this creating a positive feedback loop for our users, with a wide-ranging impact on everything from reducing merge conflicts and cutting deployment times to increasing development quality and boosting employee satisfaction."
"Hundreds of millions of business apps will be built in the next few years alone to support digital transformation efforts of enterprises," said Jason Booma, Partner at Columbia Capital. "Traditional software development cannot meet this demand, and we see solutions like ServiceNow continuing to play a key role in addressing critical needs of the world's largest enterprises. xtype provides tremendous value by meeting enterprises where they are and dramatically enhancing their ability to build digital tools and products on their platform of choice. Acting as a force multiplier for companies by boosting their development teams' productivity means xtype gives its customers a decisive competitive edge."
About xtype
xtype, a deployment and release automation platform native to ServiceNow, was founded in 2020 by Ron Gidron, Peter Szulman, and Tobias Stanzel. The platform is already used by dozens of leading enterprises and technology companies, including HP, Zurich Insurance, Bank of Montreal, and Playtika.

Iowa abortion providers say no basis to enact near ban
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Lawyers for Iowa’s largest abortion provider argued in court documents Tuesday that there’s no precedent or legal support for bringing back a law banning most abortions, which a judge had permanently blocked in 2019.
Planned Parenthood’s lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa were responding in state court filings to arguments made by lawyers for Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds last month.
Reynolds contends that recent decisions by both the Iowa and U.S. Supreme Court have changed the legal landscape, and states must individually decide whether abortion is legal. The governor says these changes justify reversing a state court judge’s decision that the abortion ban law was unconstitutional — and therefore unenforceable. Reynolds did not appeal the decision at the time.
The judge based his opinion on U.S. Supreme Court precedent, as well as an Iowa Supreme Court decision in 2018 that declared abortion a fundamental right under the Iowa Constitution.
The 2018 law would block abortions once cardiac activity can be detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy and before many women know they’re pregnant. The law contains exceptions for medical emergencies including threats to the mother’s life, rape, incest, and fetal abnormality.
Current Iowa law bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Abortions up to that point remain legal in the state.
ACLU lawyers argue there is no precedent to reverse a case finalized years ago. They said that in Iowa, even though the state Supreme Court removed the fundamental abortion protections in its June decision, abortion remains legal under earlier court decisions that have not been reversed.
ACLU of Iowa Legal Director Rita Bettis Austen said the governor’s recourse should be to go back to the legislature and pass a new law instead of trying to resurrect one declared void years ago.
She said in court documents that if the state wants to ban abortion at six weeks “and believes it has the authority to do so consistent with the Constitution, it may instead petition the current Iowa Legislature to pass such a law now, rather than attempting to revive a law that was clearly unconstitutional and void at the time it was passed by an earlier legislature.”
The judge in the case has given Reynolds lawyers until Sept. 26 to file a response and has set a court hearing for Dec. 28.
Reynolds, who has made clear her intentions to end most abortion in Iowa, decided to turn to the courts to impose stricter abortion limits instead of calling a special session of the legislature to pass a new law.
The strategy was likely to avoid a noisy political debate weeks before the November election where she and GOP legislative leaders are seeking reelection. And abortion may not be a winning political issue for Republicans, since 60% of Iowans support keeping abortion legal in most or all cases, according to a Des Moines Register Iowa poll from July. The poll results indicated 34% favored making abortion illegal in most or all cases.
A statewide vote in traditionally conservative Kansas last month came down decisively in favor of abortion rights.
Laws such as Iowa’s ban abortion when a “fetal heartbeat” can be detected, though that does not easily translate to medical science. That’s because at the point where advanced technology can detect that first visual flutter, the embryo isn’t yet a fetus, and it doesn’t have a heart. An embryo is termed a fetus eight weeks after fertilization.

The Inevitability of intolerance was a terrific editorial. A perfect title. As usual, you lay out the whole truth. The simple fact of the matter. The truth that politicians and far too many people are simply ignoring. Because it stings like hell.
Let's hope we survive the ignorance, the cowardice, the fake news. The Journal de Montreal is a dangerous rag and not even a very good sports paper. Even though that's why it's so widely read. This is yet another editorial that should be required reading and discussing in schools.Maybe among many parents also.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thyroid cancer surgeons at the Clayman Thyroid Center and Tampa's new Hospital for Endocrine Surgery celebrated Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month by joining Tampa Bay Business & Wealth (TBBW) magazine to screen women executives for thyroid cancer using state of the art ultrasonography.
Thyroid cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women. Thyroid cancer is the most quickly increasing cancer diagnosis in the United States and it affects women nearly three times as often as men. Despite this, screening for thyroid cancer is not performed anywhere in the world. Breast cancer screening, through mammography, has been routine for decades but, unfortunately, screening for thyroid cancer in the general population does not occur. The dramatic findings in these women aged 30 to 65 suggest that thyroid cancer screening, in select populations, should be done.
The Hospital for Endocrine Surgery's thyroid surgeons teamed up with TBBW magazine for its annual Women's Wellness Retreat, hosted in August at the Salamander Spa at Innisbrook Resort. The event brought together female executives from the Tampa Bay area for a day of networking, relaxing and, most importantly, self-care. The world-renowned ultrasound team from the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery performed free screening on over 70% of the women in attendance. Abnormal findings appeared in 49% of the ultrasounds.
Senior thyroid surgeon Dr. Rashmi Roy led the program and personally reviewed each woman's scans, connecting with those who had significant or abnormal findings to discuss the specifics of their case and suggest next steps.
"These women had no previous history of thyroid masses, nodules, goiters or cancer," stated Dr Roy. "So, this was a true screening program. We found 21 of the 43 women to have abnormal growths or cysts in their thyroid gland, 13 with scans suggested a more detailed workup and, possibly, biopsy was required and another 5 who were very likely to need surgery—possibly having thyroid cancer."
In fact, one of those identified with an abnormal finding was the event's organizer and CEO of TBBW, Bridgette Bello.
"The goal of this event was to really encourage these busy, successful women to take a time out for themselves and to prioritize their own health," said Bello. "So, I was thrilled to have the expert surgeons from the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery on board for their screening program. I didn't expect to have so many women with suspicious findings and I certainly didn't expect myself to be one of them."
The fact is, not only does thyroid cancer disproportionally affect women, but it is also most prevalent in women aged 30 to 50. Thus, while the results of the screening program may appear shocking, at face value, they are fairly typical for a group of women in this age range.
What's next for those who will need additional workups, biopsies and surgery? Dr Nate Walsh, another one of the hospital's surgeons specializing in thyroid cancer, states that an expert evaluation at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery starts with a high-resolution ultrasound that looks at the thyroid gland and all the lymph nodes with a detection capability as small as 1 millimeter. "If anything look suspicious, an ultrasound guided needle biopsy is immediately performed," Dr Walsh explained. Endocrine pathologists are onsite and will immediately interpret the findings and determine if cancer is present. This process can take several weeks at most centers, but is provided at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery in about 20 minutes. If surgery is required, it can be scheduled out or performed the same day as the biopsy. This is particularly beneficial for traveling patients who need to streamline and expedite the process.
The screening program was a huge success according to Dr. Gary Clayman, founder and medical director of the Clayman Thyroid Center at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery. The team plans to perform more free thyroid cancer screenings in Tampa Bay in the near future and will offer this program again at future TBBW events.
"The good news is that we can identify cancers very early with this type of screening program which makes them nearly 100% curable," stated Dr Gary Clayman, director of thyroid surgery at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery. "When we find thyroid cancer earlier, it allows the robotic scarless approach possible in certain patients. This approach, which leaves no neck scar, whatsoever, is performed here at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery more than any hospital in the US."
Robotic thyroid surgery is an innovative, new approach which involves using minimally invasive techniques to treat thyroid tumors and small thyroid cancers. The results are a smaller surgery with less pain, an easier recovery and, of course, no visible scar in the neck.
The Hospital for Endocrine Surgery houses Dr. Hyun Suh and the Scarless Thyroid Surgery Center. Dr. Suh is one of the world's leading experts in scarless thyroid surgery, including robotic thyroid surgery, and he performs more robotic thyroid operations than any other surgeon in the US.
"My patients love that they can get right back to work and no one will ask them what happened," said Dr. Suh. "There's no visible scar, so there's nothing to explain. Plus, because the surgery is minimally invasive, it lets them return to work quicker and get back into their daily activities with very little downtime."
Founded by one of the nation's best-known thyroid surgeons, the Clayman Thyroid Center is the highest volume thyroid cancer referral center in the United States. The Center boasts the most experienced thyroid surgeons in the US who provide personalized care allowing the greatest opportunity for cancer cure, wellness and cosmetic, and functional, outcomes via all types of thyroid surgery from minimal incision to scarless thyroid surgery to advanced cancer care.

The Scarless Thyroid Surgery Center is a worldwide destination for the most advanced robotic surgical techniques that allow removal of nearly all thyroid masses and smaller cancers without a scar. With chief surgeon, Dr. Hyun Suh, previously Chief of Endocrine Surgery at Mt Sinai, NYC, the center performs more robotic thyroid surgery operations than any other hospital in the United States.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union unveiled plans Wednesday to ban products made with forced labor, in an effort to crack down on a modern-day form of slavery that a U.N. agency estimated affects more than 27 million people worldwide.
The European Commission, which proposes EU laws, said the policy would remove from the 27-nation bloc’s markets all products made with forced labor. It would also stop them from being made in the world’s biggest trading bloc or shipped through it.
The move does not target specific companies, industries or countries.
“Our aim is to eliminate all products made with forced labor from the EU market, irrespective of where they have been made. Our ban will apply to domestic products, exports and imports alike,” commission Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis said.
The EU’s executive arm defines forced labor as a situation where a person is coerced to work through violence or intimidation, or in more indirect ways by having their debt manipulated, their identity papers stolen or being threatened with denunciation to immigration authorities.
Under the plans, the commission would set up and operate a public database containing information about suspect products and practices. EU countries would designate an authority to enforce the rules, and customs officers would have responsibility for ensuring compliance at the bloc’s borders.
The aim is to focus on high-risk products. Investigations would be launched if national authorities believe forced labor may have been used. Suspected cases involving bigger operators that make the most products would be the preferred target, rather than small businesses.
If a product made with forced labor is already sold in the EU, the company involved would be required to pull it off the market and dispose of it. If the company refuses, it would face penalties under the law of the country it operates in.
Europe’s main union umbrella organization, the European Trade Union Confederation, welcomed the plans.
“Many of the people in forced labor are manufacturing goods destined for sale in Europe, so a properly enforced ban should cripple the profits of the criminals behind these violations,” ETUC Deputy General-Secretary Claes-Mikael Stahl said.
The International Labour Organization estimated that in 2021 around 27.6 million people were forced to work on any given day, including 3.3 million children. Women and girls accounted for 11.8 million of that number.
Textiles, mining and agriculture are among the industries most notorious for the practice.
The commission’s proposal must now be debated by the EU member countries and the European Parliament. The rules would enter force two years after an agreement is concluded.

President Biden on Monday bemoaned the state of U.S. airports as he touted the ways a bipartisan infrastructure law passed last year would help upgrade terminals, improve the passenger experience and reduce emissions.
Biden traveled to Boston to highlight a $62 million investment in Logan Airport through the infrastructure law. The funding will be used to modernize the international terminal of the airport and to improve roadways that keep planes circulating.
The investments will create nearly 6,000 jobs, Biden said, and will help add more ticket counters in the airport, cut down time for passengers trying to make connections and reduce the time planes spend idling on the tarmac, cutting emissions in the process.
Biden hailed the investments as part of a badly needed overhaul of American airports.
“Not a single solitary American airport, not one, ranks in the top 25 in the world,” Biden said with frustration. “The United States of America, not one airport ranks in the top 25 in the world. What in the hell is the matter with us? It means commerce. It means income. It means security. And we don’t even rank in the top 25.”
Biden warned that the lack of infrastructure investment in recent decades had allowed competing countries like China to catch up with America economically. But he argued that the U.S. was finally investing again with the $1 trillion law passed last year with bipartisan support.
The bill includes billions of dollars in funding for airports, some of which has already been allocated both to smaller municipal airports and major ones like Logan.
“Right now with this infrastructure law, America is really getting on the move again,” Biden said. “We’re moving, and your life is going to change for the better.”
Biden has been traveling around the country in recent months to highlight projects funded by the infrastructure law, often joined by Democrats making the case to constituents that they’ve been able to get results for their communities with limited majorities in Congress.
The president will also give a speech while in Boston on his administration’s “cancer moonshot” initiative, which aims to cut the death rate from cancer in half over the next 25 years.

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Global Net Lease Inc (Symbol: GNL) presently has a stellar rank, in the top 10% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making Global Net Lease Inc an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Tuesday, shares of GNL entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $13.21 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Global Net Lease Inc, the RSI reading has hit 29.6 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 43.6. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, GNL's recent annualized dividend of 1.6/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 11.64% based upon the recent $13.74 share price.
A bullish investor could look at GNL's 29.6 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on GNL is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Copado's Fall 22 release delivers Continuous Quality by embedding end-to-end testing, security and compliance into CI/CD pipelines
CHICAGO, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Copado, the global leader in low-code DevOps, today launched its Quality Integration Framework which integrates AI-driven Robotic Testing and CI/CD within its DevOps platform for Salesforce. Designed for the new breed of non-technical and technical low-code delivery teams, Copado's Fall 22 release enables customers to integrate continuous quality into every branch of code deployed. One of the first companies to achieve this milestone, Copado ensures quality, security and compliance across every step of the software development lifecycle.
More than 150,000 businesses, including 90% of the Fortune 500, rely on Salesforce to build their digital business. Applications built on the Salesforce platform are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex. Yet rigorous, integrated and automated testing has not yet become commonplace: 84% of Salesforce teams report they are still relying on manual testing and most Salesforce teams lack the resources to test every change before deployment to production. At the same time, finding quality issues later in the release cycle is 640x more expensive.
"In order to achieve continuous quality, testing has to be accessible to both citizen and professional testers," said David Brooks, Senior Vice President of Products at Copado. "Copado has introduced a new click-based test creation and editing capabilities to improve collaboration across delivery teams. Businesses should shift-left and shift-right on testing to improve efficiency and achieve speed, security and quality."
In Forrester's Continuous Automation Testing Platforms Landscape, Q3 2022 report, Diego Lo Giudice wrote, "Software testing can't be an afterthought or a special event that happens once a quarter after a week-long integration. Enterprises recognize that the longer a defect lives, the more expensive the fix becomes. All forms of testing must be part of the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline and 'shifted left' as early in the lifecycle as possible in order to identify and eliminate bugs before the overheads increase."
The Fall 22 release empowers citizen and technical testers to work collaboratively through a low-code platform. It offers a new Flow Editor so citizen testers can easily build regression and end-to-end test suites visually through a drag-and-drop interface. Teams can feel confident that tests are always up to date by leveraging AI-assisted test authoring with smart predictions and self-healing capabilities. Regardless of a user's skill level, they now have the flexibility to choose their preferred authoring mode all-in-one package that integrates tightly with Copado CI/CD pipelines.
Tests are viewable in the Copado Quality Integration Framework, giving customers a user-story centric view of the tests, quality gates, policies, security and compliance rules in the same place CI/CD pipelines are managed. This unique ability to centrally manage quality from the perspective of the pipeline gives Salesforce development teams unmatched visibility and control. The Copado Quality Integration Framework also enables customers to integrate any testing, security or compliance tool in the wider DevOps ecosystem into their pipeline.
"We needed to scale our Salesforce development and introduce structured, auditable processes for SOX compliance," said Derek Nelson, Lead Salesforce Administrator at Weave. "Copado gave us that scalability and structure, delivering great results. We used to dread deployment day but with Copado, it's stress-free. It's so easy that anybody can use it — even if they can't code. We just press a button, and if there's an issue, we can easily go back to our user stories to troubleshoot the problem. Now, we get to go home on time."
At Dreamforce 2022 in San Francisco, Copado will demonstrate key features of Fall 22 and show how Copado is redefining the standard of DevOps for Salesforce in booth 1300. Book a meeting here: https://www.copado.com/copado-at-dreamforce-22. Learn more about all the new innovations by visiting the Fall '22 Release Hub.
Copado is redefining how to achieve success with enterprise SaaS and low-code platforms with its data-driven approach to delivering faster, higher quality releases and improving trust across customer transformation projects. Organizations that implement DevOps and automated testing best practices have been shown to deploy more often, fail less often and recover faster. A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Copado found that a composite organization comprised of interviewees with customers with experience using Copado delivered 20x shorter lead times, 10x faster recovery times, 4x reduction in change fail rate and 5-7% higher productivity. Further, organizations using Copado's DevOps platform can achieve $4.5 million in value and an ROI of 307% over three years with payback in less than 6 months.

A ceremonial procession will be held on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, which will transport the Queen's coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
Several members of the Royal Family will be following Her Majesty's procession as they pay tribute to their much-loved family member.
Who is following the Queen's procession?
King Charles will be leading his family in following his Mother's procession on Wednesday afternoon.
He will be walking behind the Queen's coffin along with his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
The brothers will display a "show of unity" once again after William invited his brother and his wife Meghan to join him and his wife Kate an hour before they greeted the mourners at Windsor.
Only the newly appointed Prince and Princess of Wales were expected to meet the public at 4.30pm.
The walkabout was delayed to 5.15pm so that Harry and Meghan could join too.
The King will also be joined by his siblings, Princesse Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
Meanwhile, Camilla, Queen Consort, Kate, Princess of Wales, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, will be following the procession in the car.
Who will lead the Queen's procession?
The King will be leading the procession behind the gun carriage to Westminster Hall.
King Charles has been paying tribute to his mother while on a UK mourning tour.
At Northern Ireland's Hillsborough Castle, he said: "During the years of my mother's reign, it has been a privilege to bear witness to such a devoted life.

Two men have been further charged in connection with an alleged €2 million drugs seizure.
Richard Setchfield (65), St Laurence’s Drive, Drogheda, and Christopher Hanratty (49), The Courtyard, Main Street, Dunleer, are already accused of possession and possession for sale or supply of cannabis at Belpatrick, Kells Road, Collon, on 29 April last.
On Monday Mr Setchfield was charged with importing cannabis with a value of €13,000 or more at Belpatrick on 29 April.
Gda John Walsh gave evidence that he replied ‘okay’ after caution.
The DPP has directed a trial on indictment with consent also for a send forward on a signed plea of guilty.
A solicitor for the defendant, who is on High Court bail, applied for legal aid and handed in documents, including a social welfare receipt, a letter from a doctor, bank book and a statement of means.
Gda Walsh objected to legal aid being granted.
The court heard Mr Setchfield had been in receipt of social welfare, ‘since Covid’ and €208 per week was his only source of income. He lived in rented local authority housing.
Judge McKiernan remarked the Department had assessed him as suitable for social welfare.
Legal aid was granted, and the accused was remanded on continuing bail to 24 October for preparation and service of a book of evidence.
Mr Hanratty, meanwhile, has been further charged with possession of cannabis, with a value of €13,000 or more, for sale or supply at Belpatrick on 29 April last.
The DPP has directed a trial on indictment.
The defendant was remanded on continuing bail to 24 October for preparation and service of a book of evidence.

SAXONBURG, Pa. – Coherent Corp. (Nasdaq: COHR), a leader in pump laser technology for optical networks, today announced the introduction of its I-Temp micro-pump lasers for extended ambient temperature operation in broadband optical access networks.
The growing demand for broadband services is bringing fiber-optic networks closer to subscribers, with environmentally hardened equipment deployed in uncontrolled ambient environments where space is constrained and the availability of power is strictly limited. Coherent's new industry-leading I-Temp micro-pump lasers are now capable of operating over the extended temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, enabling optical amplifiers deployed at the network edge to withstand extreme weather conditions.
The I-Temp micro-pumps maintain a steady output power of 400 mW with less than 2 W of power consumption and remain optimally wavelength-locked with a fiber Bragg grating, without the need for an internal cooler. They are available with 80 μm PM980 polarization-maintaining fibers and 125 μm HI 1060 bend-insensitive single-mode fibers.

Jimmy Walker quietly stepped away from the PGA Tour in April, not sure whether it was lingering effects of Lyme disease or mounting frustration — probably both — that led to the decision. He just knew he needed to get away for the rest of the year, maybe two, maybe longer.
And then LIV Golf came along.
The Saudi riches didn’t land at his door in San Antonio, and Walker isn’t sure he would have been interested. “History is powerful and it’s what that doesn’t have yet,” he said.
Walker watched from the sidelines, not begrudging anyone who chose to go to the rival league. What he didn’t realize was that for each player who signed up for LIV Golf — and was suspended by or resigned from the PGA Tour — it only helped him.
The phone call on Labor Day surprised him.
Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman were among the latest to leave, allowing Walker to move up nine spots to No. 50 in career earnings on the PGA Tour. That gave him access to a one-time exemption for the new season that starts Thursday.
Walker was happy at home behind a grill, on his lawn mower, going to the gym or chasing after his two boys. He still played golf with friends, the show-up-and-swing-it variety. That was fun.
“I’ve been running and gunning at this professional sports job for 20 years,” he said. “I just needed time to not do a damn thing.”
Walker also knew this chance wouldn’t be around next year if he didn’t take it.
“I had no plans to play and I didn’t know when I would play again. I might have been done,” Walker said. “Is it fate that this is happening? I don’t know.”
Leave it to the words of a child.
Walker figures he could have retired and been satisfied with a career that brought him a major championship and two Ryder Cup teams. He is 43 and still feels he can do more. So he asked his sons, 12-year-old McClain and 9-year-old Beckett, if they wanted him to go on the road again.
“The youngest, Beckett, said to me: ‘Can you be great again? If you think you can do that, I want you to go.’ That was a real tear-jerk moment,” Walker said.
Beckett was 3 when Walker scooped him into his arms on the 18th green at Baltusrol after his one-shot victory in the 2016 PGA Championship. Can he deliver another moment like that? He figures it’s worth a shot, especially when the decision was made for him.
Walker is one example of how LIV Golf has provided a path that players weren’t expecting.
Another former PGA champion, Jason Dufner, moved into the top 50 in career money to get his card. Rory Sabbatini landed in the top 25 in career money because of LIV suspensions.
And that’s what had Walker on a commercial flight Monday from San Antonio to Oakland, California, and then a short drive — no courtesy car this week — to Napa for the Fortinet Championship and the start of a season he wasn’t planning to play.
He was so determined to make a clean break from golf that Walker stayed home instead of playing the PGA Championship at Southern Hills, where he made his pro debut in the 2001 U.S. Open. That would be coming full circle. He preferred full stop.
“I’ve had a great career,” he said. “I can hang my hat on that.”
It took Walker 178 starts on the PGA Tour before he finally won the season opener at CordeValle in 2013 by beating Brooks Koepka, a sponsor exemption who had earned his European tour card that year. Koepka was one of the players who signed with LIV and enabled Walker to move up the career earnings list.
Walker still holds the Sony Open record with a nine-shot win in 2015. He peaked a year later when he captured his lone major and played on his second straight Ryder Cup team, this one a U.S. win at Hazeltine.
A hunting trip to King Ranch that fall is where he suspects he got Lyme disease, though it took months of symptoms and uncertainty before he received the diagnosis on the Wednesday before the Masters.
The road back seemed to get longer the harder he worked.
He felt fine one week, terrible the next. Medication made him sensitive to the sun. He started struggling with chipping and putting, the hallmark of his game. He was happy at home in San Antonio, increasingly grumpy on the road.
Now it feels like a fresh start. Walker has played long enough to know what’s ahead.
Golf is getting younger and better. Only the top 70 keep their cards in this new season of big prize funds, another change brought on by LIV Golf.
“I had mixed emotions leaving,” Walker said during a layover Monday in San Diego. “I know what it entails, the hard work and all that. I’m nervous. Honestly, I don’t feel super prepared. But there’s not a better way than to jump right back into it.
“It could be amazing, or it could be a disaster.”
Either way, it’s something Walker wasn’t expecting. He has LIV Golf to thank for that.

Thousands prepare to pay respects to Queen Elizabeth at Westminster Hall in queue with capacity to reach 10miles
Thousands of people have taken their spots in the queue for the Queen's lying in state as the public prepares to pay its last respects.
The line has the capacity to stretch back 10 miles, with no guarantee that everyone who joins it will get to file past the late monarch's coffin in Westminster Hall.
Nevertheless, people are turning out in droves for the opportunity to say a personal farewell ahead of the Queen's funeral on Monday.
Doors are set to open at 5pm on Wednesday, but by 2pm the line already stretched far past Westminster Bridge and beyond County Hall.
Most Popular
To help avoid disappointment, it is understood that entry to the back of the queue may be closed early, although it is too early to estimate when that moment might come.
Numbers will be monitored towards the end of the lying in state period, which must be completed by 6.30am on September 19, to ensure as near as possible that those already waiting are able complete their visit.
Entry to the line will also be paused for a time if the queuing infrastructure - stretching 6.9 miles from Victoria Tower Gardens to Southwark Park, with a further three miles within the park itself - reaches capacity.
There will be more than 1,000 volunteers, stewards, marshals and police officers on hand at any one time as people brave the wait on the banks of the Thames.
This includes 779 professional stewards per shift, assisted by 100 civil service volunteer marshals, 40 adult scouts, and 30 members of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry charity, as well as Metropolitan Police officers.
There will be a separate accessible route running from the Tate Britain for people less able to wait for a long period of time, with timed entry slots issued for a line along Millbank to the Palace of Westminster.
No proof of disability will be required to use this route, with marshals on hand to make sure people are in the correct line and two British Sign Language interpreters to help.
Joyce Dawson, 54, from Middlesbrough, has never visited London before, but said she was "inspired" to travel down for the Queen's lying in state after seeing the first people in the queue being interviewed on the TV news on Tuesday evening.
She told the PA news agency: "I texted my daughter and said: 'We have to go to London tonight', so we're here.
"It was a spur-of-the-moment thing."
She and her daughter Shelby, 26, who has also never been to the capital before, got on the midnight coach from Middlesbrough and joined the queue at about 8am.
Joyce added: "It's just nice to be a part of this. It's exciting, I'm dead excited, I'm like a little kid."
Duncan Rasor, a former member of the Balmoral Guard who met the Queen while serving in Scotland, wore his military medals and Glengarry headdress as he too queued for Westminster Hall.
The 48-year-old, who served in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, told PA that, from a personal perspective, he wanted to come and pay his respects "for everything that she's done".
He described spending time with the royal family as an "extraordinary privilege" and added: "Even though they are on holiday up in Balmoral, they are still working, and it just never stops.
"I think that is something which is starting to become more apparent to people is quite how hard Her Majesty has worked for her entire life."
Meanwhile, Kush Sonigra, who lives in the London area, was spending his 24th birthday in line.
He told PA: "Well, fortunately, from work I get the day off for my birthday, so I thought I'd get involved and see what the hype is about, get involved with the event."
Mr Sonigra added: "There's a family dinner table so I'm hoping, depending on how late I finish here, I might be able to make it for that. Otherwise, we will postpone that to the weekend."
He said his mother "is a little bit upset that I'm missing the family dinner, but I think she'll understand".
It is understood there will be an element of self-policing when it comes to people keeping their places in line.
Those waiting in the queue are being given a coloured and numbered wristband, specific to each person, allowing them to leave for a brief time.
It is thought people will know those around them and be supportive when others need to step out.

Preseason rest appeared to lead to a little bit of rust in Week 1 for several of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.
More than one-third of the league’s Week 1 starting quarterbacks didn’t play a single snap in the preseason and most of those 11 QBs didn’t play anywhere close to their usual form.
Whether the poor results were a result of rust or other factors isn’t clear but the poor results are. The only QBs to rest the entire preseason and end up on the winning side in Week 1 were Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins, Justin Herbert of the Chargers and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson.
Cousins and Herbert bested two other quarterbacks who rested with the Vikings beating Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay and the Chargers knocking off Derek Carr and the Raiders.
The other resting QBs who lost in Week 1 were Matthew Stafford of the Rams, Arizona’s Kyler Murray, Dallas’ Dak Prescott, Denver’s Russell Wilson, Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow and Tennessee’s Ryan Tannehill.
The 11 QBs combined for an 86.1 passer rating, 6.9 yards per attempt and a touchdown to interception ratio of 1.38. Those were steep drop-offs from 2021 numbers when those QBs posted a 100.4 rating, averaged 7.7 yards per attempt and had a 2.65 TD to INT ratio.
The rough openers from many of the league’s top passers led to a downturn in scoring across the league with the 42.1 combined points per game in Week 1 down from 48 last season and the lowest for Week 1 since 2017, when teams combined for 40.4 points per game.
SUPER BOWL HANGOVER
The Super Bowl teams from last season got off to a not-so-super start to 2022.
The defending champion Los Angeles Rams lost the opener 31-10 to Buffalo and the runner-up Cincinnati Bengals fell 23-20 in overtime to Pittsburgh.
It marked the first time since 1999 when Denver and Atlanta both lost the opener that the two Super Bowl teams began the next season 0-1.
The only other times that happened were: 1996 (Dallas and Pittsburgh), 1988 (Washington and Denver) and 1985 (San Francisco and Miami).
TURNAROUND TEAMS
There were six Week 1 matchups between teams that made the postseason in 2021 and teams that missed the playoffs last season.
Surprisingly, five of those non-playoff teams came out of Week 1 as winners with the New York Giants beating Tennessee, Minnesota topping Green Bay, the Chargers knocking off Las Vegas, Miami beating New England and Chicago toppling San Francisco.
Only Philadelphia ended up on the winning side in that group, beating Detroit 38-35.
The five wins by teams that didn’t make the playoffs the previous seasons against returning playoff teams were the most in Week 1 since it happened seven times in 2005.
WINNING TIME
The Giants comeback win at Tennessee left New York in unfamiliar territory.
For the first time since the end of the 2016 season, the Giants have a winning record. They had lost the opener each season since then and never recovered as their 22-59 record (.272 winning percentage) was tied with the Jets for the worst in the NFL from 2017-21.
Cleveland also did something new, beating Carolina 26-24 to win the season opener for the first time since 2004. The Browns were 0-16-1 in Week 1 from 2005-21 — the longest Week 1 winless streak in NFL history.
Indianapolis ended an eight-year Week 1 losing streak with a 20-20 tie at Houston. But the Colts’ nine straight openers without a win are now tied with Washington (1959-67) and Philadelphia (1968-1976) for the second longest streak in NFL history.
CLOSE CALLS
The bizarre ending to Denver’s 17-16 loss at Seattle on Monday night was the seventh game decided by three points or fewer last week, including the Indianapolis-Houston tie.
That’s the most Week 1 games ever decided by three points or fewer, topping the six close games done five times previously — most recently in 2016.
Five games were decided by a game-winning score in the final 2 minutes of regulation or in overtime, the most in Week 1 since there were six in 2002.
Indianapolis (17-point deficit), New Orleans (16), the Giants (13) and Chicago (10) all overcame double-digit deficits to win or tie, the most double-digit comebacks in Week 1 since there were five in 2002.

ZIBO, China, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Davinci Motor's small batch trial production of DC100 high-performance electric motorcycles rolled off the production line in Zibo, China, heralding a new start and new energy for the motorcycle industry, according to the Information Office of Zibo Municipal People's Government.
The DC100 rivals its 1,000cc gas-powered counterpart when it comes to performance, evidenced by outstanding technical data: acceleration 0-100 km/h in about 3 sec, top speed of 200 km/h, peak power of 100 kw, and peak torque of 850 Nm. On top of all that, the DC100 was designed using new energy vehicles (NEV) as a benchmark for range and charging method, elevating industry standards of two-wheeled electric vehicles. The DC100 is compatible with L3 DC Fast Chargers in the United States, Europe and China, which can deliver a full charge in about 30 minutes.
Designed with a robotic concept, the DC100 is capable of sensing, computing and executing. While riding, the DC100 has the capacity to track accurate information such as ambient temperature, battery and motor temperature, lean angle, traveling speed, wheel speed and road conditions. Furthermore, it combines this vehicle and environmental data and user commands to precisely control its power system.

Hotel mogul, UFO believer spending in Nevada governor’s race
Robert Bigelow, a Las Vegas-based hotel magnate, has always had a cause.
For decades, he invested his hotel profits into UFO research, creating his own aerospace company while lobbying senators to fund additional research. More recently, he offered nearly $1 million in prizes for a contest to show consciousness after death, part of his newer interest in the afterlife.
Now Bigelow, 78, has become the largest donor this cycle in Nevada’s midterm gubernatorial race, donating $5.7 million through his companies to the campaign for Nevada GOP gubernatorial nominee Joe Lombardo and to political action committees supporting him. The race has implications for inflation policy, reproductive rights and the Democrats’ hold on the Legislature.
Bigelow’s donations give a lifeline to a Republican challenger who is spending more and fundraising less than the Democratic incumbent. As of the latest filings, Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak leads Lombardo, the Clark County sheriff, in cash-on-hand $10.78 million to $1.2 million, which includes direct contributions to their campaigns but does not account for donations to political action committees, which make up the bulk of Bigelow’s donations in support of Lombardo.
PACs are required to operate independently from candidates, meaning they can raise money for candidates but aren’t allowed to coordinate with the their campaigns.
Bigelow has made his wealth through his extended-stay apartment chain Budget Suites of America, which he has used to fund his UFO research. He was also a vocal critic of the federal eviction moratorium, calling it “legalized theft” as some tenants didn’t pay rent, and he filed 46 eviction actions at the height of the pandemic. He lamented Sisolak’s statewide closure of nonessential businesses early in the pandemic, which he said sank his aerospace company.
Bigelow’s political and social influence in Nevada has long been pronounced, most notably in his UFO research that is now shifting toward afterlife research. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said that UFOs are “under our noses” and wondered why news organizations have not extensively covered UFO sightings.
But Bigelow, a staunch Republican, said his interest in UFOs and the afterlife is not related to his current political donations.
“Number one, honesty in government. That’s the foundation,” Bigelow said of his priorities. “Liberalism, that’s a cancer. And we have U.S. senators and representatives that need to go. And the second would be a philosophy of freedom — a philosophy of free enterprise and freedom for everybody.”
He called Sisolak a “puppet” to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who is a frequent target of Republican politicians. And he likened Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to a young Ronald Reagan, saying that he hopes the Republican runs for president in the future after he bucked other states’ approach of issuing COVID-19 emergency protective orders during the pandemic. Earlier this summer, Bigelow donated $10 million to DeSantis-backed political action committees, making him the largest individual donor to DeSantis’ reelection race as well.
For decades, Bigelow has invested millions in UFO research with money he has made from his hotel and real estate business. He has also pushed it in politics. He once convinced his friend and then-U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, a Democrat, to allocate $22 million to a secretive program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification program, which investigated reports of UFOs from 2007 through 2012. Much of the money went to Bigelow’s company to investigate and the allocation was not made public until a 2017 New York Times investigation. The Pentagon said the program shut down in 2012, though Reid later said he had no regrets about the funding.
Bigelow said he considered Reid a good friend, though toward the end of Reid’s tenure in the Senate, they maintained that friendship by not talking politics.
Since shifting his focus toward the afterlife, he has founded the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies and offered nearly $1 million in prizes last year for a contest that shows “the survival of consciousness after permanent bodily death.”
Bigelow donated $5.5 million to PACs supporting Lombardo this cycle — $3.5 million to Better Nevada PAC, which has financed pro-Lombardo ads, and $2 million to Stronger Nevada PAC, which transferred money to Better Nevada PAC. Through 39 donations of $5,000 each through his companies, he donated $195,000 directly to the Clark County sheriff.
The Nevada contributions have provided a talking point for Sisolak, who has tied Bigelow’s support for Lombardo to the housing crisis in Nevada, referencing Bigelow’s pandemic evictions.
“While the governor is fighting for housing affordability, creating good paying jobs and making historic investments to support hardworking families, Joe Lombardo is siding with the Ultra Wealthy, standing with his campaign’s single largest donor — a billionaire who got rich off of evicting families during the pandemic,” spokesperson Reeves Oyster said in a statement last month.
Lombardo’s campaign did not respond to email requests for comment.
Lombardo has been vastly outraised by Sisolak in direct contributions, which is common for a challenger facing an incumbent. Sisolak has raised the second-highest amount in direct contributions for a Nevada gubernatorial campaign since 2000 and he’s on pace to break his own 2018 record, according to OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan group that tracks political spending.
“Overall, challengers do need to spend in order to overcome the incumbency advantage,” said Christina Ladam, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Nevada-Reno, in an email. “While Joe Lombardo was a familiar name in the Vegas area, he was less well known in northern Nevada. Sisolak does not need to spend as much in terms of getting name recognition.”
Still, Lombardo has outspent Sisolak this year — $3.1 million to about $727,000 as of the latest filing date — after facing a crowded primary field.

Southside Chicago Family with Deep Roots to Iconic Brand will Bring Rainbow Cone Classic Flavors to Sarasota, Florida through Specialty Franchise Program
SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Original Rainbow Cone, a Chicago tradition for over 95 years, has today announced its first out-of-state location. The new location will bring the Windy City favorite to Sarasota, Florida, through Rainbow Cone's uniquely designed franchise program, with entrepreneurs Dave and Erica Campbell. The Campbell family are third-generation Rainbow Cone customers with strong personal connections to the historic brand, dating to its original Western Avenue building. The Sarasota shop is projected for late Spring 2023.
"As a child, my family would bike to Rainbow Cone's beautiful pink building on Western Avenue and watch in awe as the staff quickly stacked the five flavors of ice cream on the cone," said Erica Campbell. "Our family is honored to be awarded the first Rainbow Cone out-of-state franchise location. It's time to bring Rainbow Cone to the Sunshine State!"
"When our oldest daughter was young, we would go to The Original Rainbow Cone location in Beverly whenever we visited Erica's parents. I look back fondly on those memories," said Dave Campbell. "When the opportunity to partner with Rainbow Cone came up, it was the perfect fit."
In addition to their deep connection to Rainbow Cone, the Campbell's have over twenty years in hospitality, sales, marketing and financial experience together. They believe Rainbow Cone will be a hit in the Sarasota community for its one-of-a-kind, stacked five flavors of ice cream, modern store design, and place for family experiences, as well as their commitment to being leaders in the region. They have a strong faith in the Sapp and Buonavolanto family, and share the same passion for Rainbow Cone's delicious flavors and values.
"We've partnered with a great Chicago family to open the first Rainbow Cone in Sarasota," said Joe Buonavolanto III, VP of Franchise and Sales at The Buona Companies. "We stand behind Erica and Dave as they start their new business and bring classic Chicago flavors to the region, and support them as they serve as leaders in the Sarasota community."
Founded in 1926 by "Grandpa Joe" Sapp, who was never satisfied with just one ice cream flavor, Rainbow Cone features five delicious flavors on a single cone. The brand has since expanded to kiosks and trucks throughout the Chicago area, and launched its new franchise program in 2022. The program includes a range of opportunities, with a proven, proprietary business approach developed and fine-tuned by Rainbow Cone that spans industry-leading technology, support, training, and quality assurance, as well as allocation of marketing resources, field teams and more to help franchisees thrive and succeed.
Rainbow Cone plans to host a Rainbow Cone truck tour in Florida, Grand Opening festivities, and giveaways to alert the region of the Campbell's Sarasota Rainbow Cone location. The company's franchise program will open additional locations across Florida, including Tampa, Fort Myers, Keys and Naples. For more information about the Rainbow Cone franchise program, visit Rainbowconefranchise.com
The Original Rainbow Cone serves ice cream featuring extraordinary flavors and textures, including the world-famous 5-flavor "Rainbow Cone," sundaes, milkshakes, and memories dedicated to last forever. After opening in 1926, the "Rainbow Cone'' received its fame and quickly became the most unique ice cream cone anyone has ever seen. As Rainbow Cone works to expand their locations and showcase our new adventures, like ice cream trucks, they are excited to share their love for Rainbow Cone's signature sliced cone with even more communities. The Original Rainbow Cone is also available for nationwide shipping via Goldbelly. With four locations in the Chicago area and growing, locals count on The Original Rainbow Cone as a Chicago staple and a sweet treat.

Washington [US], September 14 (ANI): American television host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel faced backlash after some netizens took issue with a controversial performance that he pulled during Quinta Brunson's Emmy Awards acceptance speech on Monday.
According to Fox News, it all started when Will Arnett and Jimmy Kimmel, who appeared to present the Outstanding Writing Award for a Comedy Series, opened their skit by joking that Kimmel had "gotten into the skinny margaritas" backstage after losing in his own category. The actor then dragged Kimmel on stage by his ankles.

When Brunson entered the stage to receive her prize after Arnett declared her the winner, she had to cross Kimmel's body to get to the microphone because he was acting like he was unconscious while lying on the ground. "Jimmy, wake up, I won...Jimmy?" Brunson said as she bent over him while he remained committed to the act, though he did give her a thumb's up
Kimmel remained to lie at Brunson's feet as she thanked her cast, crew, and family before playing off the stage.
But when a reporter inquired about the event during her post-awards press conference, the star, author, and creator of the popular ABC series graciously answered. "I know Jimmy Kimmel, and I felt like the bit didn't bother me that much," she said. "I don't know what the Internet thinks," she added. "I don't know, I know him. And honestly, Jimmy gave me my first big late-night spot." She went on to say that Kimmel was 'one of the first people' to watch 'Abbott Elementary'.
She further went on to say, "He Instagram-messaged me that he saw this comedy and thought it was one of the greatest comedies of all time and he was so excited that it was going to be on ABC," reported Fox News.
"So I think in that moment, I was just really happy that it was Jimmy up there. I kind of consider him one of the comedy godfathers. I'm a huge fan of Will Arnett so I was wrapped up in the moment."
"I don't know, tomorrow, maybe I'll be mad at him," she continued.
"I'm going to be on his show on Wednesday so that I might punch him in the face," she joked. "I don't know, we'll see what happens."
Unhappy with the joke, some netizens blasted Kimmel on social media for being "rude," "disrespectful," and a "sore loser."
Following the stunt, some detractors claimed the creator of "The Man Show" had "white male privilege."
However, after the ceremony, Brunson and Kimmel seemed to make fun of the uproar.
"Abbott Elementary" bagged a total of three Emmy Awards back home. Sheryl Lee Ralph was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, and the sitcom won for Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series.
According to Fox News, Brunson became the third Black writer and second Black female writer to bag an award for Outstanding Writing.
"Last Week Tonight With John Oliver" won the award for Outstanding Talk Series, beating Kimmel's show.
The Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles hosted the 74th Annual Emmy Awards on September 12. (ANI)

Shafaq Naaz: I’m learning to stay off negativity on social media
After working for over a decade in the industry, actor Shafaq Naaz is happy still being recognized for the character she played in Mahabharat (2013)
After working for over a decade in the industry, actor Shafaq Naaz is happy still being recognized for the character she played in Mahabharat (2013).
“I have no qualms being remembered as Kunti as it was a legendry show and it’s difficult to have such ventures in today’s time on TV. Things have changed considerably; you hardly get to see long running daily soaps that are earning TRPs. Not just Mahabaharat, my role of Mayuri in Chidiya Ghar (2014) too is well etched in memories of my fans.’
Last seen in digital films Halala (2019) and X & Y (2022), Naaz finds social media the best way to stay connected with viewers and fans, she says, ‘I enjoy interacting with my fans, it helps me to know my standing and also what more they expect of me as an artiste. But at times things do get a little out of hand and you are left disappointed. As I have been working on TV and OTT both, I have two sets of followers, the former ones still see me as those mythological characters that I play on screen. Couple of times they disagree with my choice of dressing and question it.’
‘This is something beyond my understanding that even if I sport simple western attire, there are a few who ask me to avoid such clothing and what not. I mean what sense it makes to tell someone how to live his or her life, to each his own. But over the time, I am learning to cut off from such negativity and keep a carefree approach,’ asserts the Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin actor.
Currently, Naaz is focusing on her TV daily and along with that she wrapped an OTT series too. ‘For now, I am looking for projects that let me explore other mediums as well. I can’t give my entire month to daily. My role in the show Hanuman gives me enough time to take up other assignments too. It’s one life and I want to work and spend quality time as well. I want to keep work pressure at bay.’

The best kind of camouflage is pretending to be an inanimate object
Wildlife resembling natural objects like stones, sticks or leaves avoid predators nearly four times as long as undisguised animals
Animals that resemble inanimate objects are better able to evade predators than those that use other kinds of camouflage. Predators took four times as long to find animals using this type of visual trickery, called masquerade camouflage, than they did for undisguised animals.
Evolution has equipped animals with a wide range of ways to conceal themselves from predators: zebras’ stripes make them difficult to isolate from a herd, some spiders are overlooked because they resemble bird droppings and colour-shifting chameleons are able to fade into the background. But, until now, no one had examined how these hide-in-plain-sight approaches stack up against each other.
“A comparison between the types of camouflage had never been done,” says João Vitor de Alcantara Viana at the State University of Campinas in Brazil. “We thought it would be a great opportunity to understand how camouflage evolved and how the types of camouflage interact.”

To find out which camouflage strategy was most effective, Viana and his colleagues compiled data from 84 publications on a variety of predators and prey. Most studies included insects being hunted by birds, fish or humans – either in real life or, with humans, in a computer-game style simulation.
They found that having any form of camouflage increased predator search time by an average of 63 per cent and decreased the likelihood of an attack by 27 per cent. But animals that employed what’s known as masquerade camouflage – resembling a rock, plant or poop, for instance – were the most successful in delaying an attack, increasing predator search time by 295 per cent.
Other camouflage methods, like blending into a backdrop or having chaotic colour patterns, increased predator search time by roughly 55 per cent.
“Each individual study is like a little jigsaw piece, and they’re trying to actually put part of that jigsaw together,” says Anna Hughes at the University of Essex in the UK. She says the paper is also “really useful for seeing where the gaps in our knowledge might be”.
One such gap is geographic, says study co-author Rafael Campos Duarte at Federal University of ABC in Brazil, because most of the studies on camouflaged species that the researchers were able to review are from North America and Europe. As the body of research grows, they hope to examine the phenomena on an even more diverse, global scale.

What The Heck Is Michigan “Zip” Sauce?
I've learned a lot about foods and drinks since I moved to Michigan. I've seen the promised land with authentic U.P. Pasties, Mackinac Fudge, downed Superman Ice Cream, slugged some Faygo and Vernor's (which are now staples in my fridge at home), and fallen in love with the local breweries.
But what is this new thing I've come across on the internet called "The Original Zip Sauce?"
I'm a midwest guy, so Ranch Dressing has always been my go-to when it comes to any type of added sauces or dressing to my food. Occasionally, I'd reach for some ketchup for fries, or BBQ sauce for some pork or chicken that's been a bit overcooked.
But Zip Sauce? No idea. Never heard of it. What's it for?
The tagline reads, "The Original Zip Sauce... just add butter."
JUST ADD BUTTER!?!?! Did Paula Dean make this stuff?
(Actually, if she made it, there'd already be butter in it, so that can't be right)
WHAT IS ZIP SAUCE?
Well, thanks to the internet, I can get some context clues to work with. Chevydetroit.com posted something on the sauce that kind of gives me an idea.
"For newbies, Zip Sauce is one of those mysteries that make Detroit famous for its food and legendary restauranteurs. Like the stories behind who was in the Purple Gang, or what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, there is controversy behind what goes into Zip Sauce, who created the best version and how to make it at home."
So as the description goes, this is essentially a sort of steak sauce... or at least, that's what most people use it for. "The ultimate compliment to steaks, soups, seafood and even vegetables."
So what's it made of? Because I've had steak sauces before, and I can't even begin to describe this flavor. Well, turns out, THAT'S a bit of a controversy, too.
"The actual recipe for Zip Sauce, much like Spongebob's Krabby Patty, is a closely guarded secret."
There is some stuff that kind of stuck out. There's definitely a buttery texture to it, which makes the whole "Just add butter" thing a little curious. But there's definitely a beef flavoring, maybe a stock, worcestershire sauce, and maybe mustard, garlic, stuff like that.
Otherwise... I have NO idea what this stuff is.
Turns out, it was started at Lelli's in Detroit along Woodward Avenue. It's a Northern Italian-style restaurant that was REALLY high end. Once they created their famous "Zip Sauce," it was all out. People from all over the country travelled to try the sauce on their food.
It's trademarked now as "The Original Zip Sauce," but not by the Lelli family. His name is Michael Esshaki, and he got started as a waiter at the Lelli restaurant. He claims it's the original, right recipe... secrets and all.
So I guess there's another staple I have to add to my fridge... and stock up on the butter.

Inflation is the wrecker of worlds. It destroys purchasing power, increases the signal-to-noise ratio of prices critical to entrepreneurs and business managers, and distorts accounting records. Its uneven effects may make unprofitable companies and projects look profitable, and profitable ones appear to be losers. When persistent, it becomes a major drag on economic growth, increases unemployment, and rewards borrowers at the expense of lenders. And depending upon its origins, inflation may also facilitate lavish government spending beyond what tax and tariff incomes would otherwise permit.
But a nation needn’t experience a Weimar-like explosion of hyperinflation for all manner of ruinous effects to materialize. Comparably low levels of inflation will do the trick as handily as the handful of rare, extreme episodes that have captured the attention of economists and the fascination of internet wags. A search for the phrases “hyperinflation (is) right around the corner,” ‘hyperinflation is coming,” and “impending hyperinflation’ on Twitter exposes a low-level buzz around the idea that any surge in the general price level is likely to beget a spectacular disintegration of the price system. That is not impossible, but it is exceedingly improbable, for a handful of reasons.
- The Fed’s 2008 move from a floor system to a corridor system involves paying interest on reserves (IOR). This virtually guarantees that a large portion of the money stock is staying put at the Fed, not being loaned or chasing goods and services. That amount currently stands at roughly $3.2 trillion. If necessary, the Fed could raise the “internal” rate of interest, luring more money in pursuit of essentially risk-free returns.
US Reserve Balances with Federal Reserve Banks (2017 – present)
- The Fed is currently predicting that inflation will come down next year, and market participants currently expect the fed funds target to only reach about 3.8 percent by the end of 2023.
Market Implied Policy Rates, 1 year
- There is also, within the Fed, a goal of rate normalization, given that 144 of the last 173 months (back to January 2000) have been at a sub-one-percent level nominally, negative in real terms. That may be wrong, but in light of Volcker’s tenure (within which rates were raised to over 20 percent) there’s still a lot of policy headspace for the Fed to operate within. If inflation were to continue to rise or even accelerate, the Fed would simply chase it up with higher and higher rates, or increase the rate of the balance sheet unwind, currently removing some $95 billion per month from the US economy. It could also engage in other, more unconventional operations. An exceptionally radical approach to dealing with runaway inflation, and arguably the antithesis of “helicopter money,” was untaken by the Afghanistan central bank for other reasons several years ago.
- Presently there are indications that markets and consumers expect inflation to be high for a while and then recede. If markets prove wrong, arbitrage opportunities will emerge. Consumer expectations may be wrong, but at present they do not indicate that persistently high inflation such as occurred in the 1970s (and which was also not a hyperinflation) is likely. The spread between the current generic 5 year US government note and the 5 year Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) yield currently estimates an average annual inflation of 2.52 percent through 2027.
5 year US Treasury-5 year TIPS yield spread (April 2022- present)
- Unlike the Zimbabwean dollar or the Venezuelan bolivar, the dollar is more than a currency. It’s a safe-haven asset and a global unit of account. The demand for US dollars is extremely high, although monetary technocrats would be wise not to test the limits of that adage. The global demand for dollars results in the effective exportation of a portion of expansionary monetary policy’s inflationary effects. Although that sounds like good news for Americans and not-so-good news for downstream users of dollars, in many emerging markets even inflationary US dollars are likely to be less inflationary than domestic currencies.
Emerging market year-over-year inflation rates (2012 – present)
- Most previous outbreaks of hyperinflation have begun with colossal, emergency-driven policy partnerships between fiscal and monetary authorities. Two common themes are an order by a head-of-state or executive body to print money to meet fiscal obligations on an unlimited basis, or to monetize an unsustainable debt load. While neither are impossible within the United States, the former is currently illegal, and the second is not, at present, a matter of particular exigence. But these are reasons why Fed independence and reducing the outstanding US debt are critical.
None of this should, although it likely will, be construed as either dismissing the dangers of inflation or giving credence to the Fed’s inflation-fighting expertise. The superlative hallmarks of hyperinflationary episodes are exciting to some, carrying unwieldy piles of physical currency to buy simple goods, prices changing hourly, and so on, but completely unnecessary for inflation to destroy economic calculation and peaceful, voluntary exchange. In England, at present, the harmonized Consumer Price Index is currently up 10.1 percent year-over-year, which is nowhere near the rates Philip Cagan classified as hyperinflationary in 1956, but destructive nevertheless. The pursuit of sound money is more profitably directed at identifying profligate monetary policy measures, rather than the consequenceless prediction of extraordinary, and extraordinarily unlikely, outcomes.

- Kelsey Plum struggled early in the Las Vegas Aces' WNBA Finals series against the Connecticut Sun.
- The All-Star guard enjoyed a stellar performance in Game 2, thanks to tough love from A'ja Wilson.
- After the Aces' win, the WNBA MVP revealed that she told Plum to "get her shit together."
Breaking out of a shooting slump is often a challenging exercise in patience and determination. But sometimes, all it takes is a little tough love from the most dominant player in the game.
Such was the case for Kelsey Plum. Despite enjoying a career year in the regular season, the electric Las Vegas Aces guard struggled with her shot for much of the 2022 WNBA playoffs.
Plum's shooting woes came to a head in the first game of this year's Finals; she recorded just six points — her lowest scoring total of the entire season — on 11.1% shooting from the floor against the Connecticut Sun at Las Vegas' Michelob ULTRA Arena. The 2022 WNBA All-Star was at a loss, but her superstar teammate — 2022 WNBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year A'ja Wilson — knew exactly what to say.
"I told her she needed to get her shit together," Wilson recalled after Game 2 of the Finals. "I know it sounds harsh, but KP is a pro and she went out there and took care of business. I think she understands that we believe in her and... I have ways that I talk to my teammates to get them to understand where I need to be and where we need to be."
"So, yeah," she added with an unapologetic smile. "I cussed her out."
It worked.
The fourth-year sharpshooter exploded for 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field during Tuesday night's contest, adding seven assists and three rebounds in her 35 minutes on the floor. Combined with Wilson's 26-point double-double — her fifth-consecutive 20-plus-point double-double of the 2022 playoffs — and Chelsea Gray's continued ascendancy on the offensive end, the Aces secured a decisive 14-point victory to put themselves within one win of their franchise's first-ever WNBA title.
If a few strong words are what it takes to power Las Vegas to the championship, Plum is all for it.
"Everyone wants to win, you know?" she said in the postgame press conference. "So really, actually, I welcomed it very much. And I feel like we all want the same thing, and I appreciate that this organization believes in me, coaches believe in me, I believe in myself."
And as far as Wilson's concerned, Plum's massive output in Tuesday night's blowout was "a statement game" that "puts a lot of people on notice."
"This was a huge, huge deal, because I don't want to say she was in a slump, but she wasn't KP," the two-time league MVP said. "I felt it in the locker room. She wasn't herself. But today, I saw KP, and I realized even in myself, like, I haven't been talking trash to KP lately. So that's what got me to say what I was saying.
"The growth that you see in KP is incredible — the story that she has, it's crazy to even think about," Wilson added. "She's such a strong-minded, willed person that is not going to stop until the job is done. I'm so glad she's in our locker room because she would be a pain in the ass if she wasn't."

Southside Chicago Family with Deep Roots to Iconic Brand will Bring Rainbow Cone Classic Flavors to Sarasota, Florida through Specialty Franchise Program
SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Original Rainbow Cone, a Chicago tradition for over 95 years, has today announced its first out-of-state location. The new location will bring the Windy City favorite to Sarasota, Florida, through Rainbow Cone's uniquely designed franchise program, with entrepreneurs Dave and Erica Campbell. The Campbell family are third-generation Rainbow Cone customers with strong personal connections to the historic brand, dating to its original Western Avenue building. The Sarasota shop is projected for late Spring 2023.
"As a child, my family would bike to Rainbow Cone's beautiful pink building on Western Avenue and watch in awe as the staff quickly stacked the five flavors of ice cream on the cone," said Erica Campbell. "Our family is honored to be awarded the first Rainbow Cone out-of-state franchise location. It's time to bring Rainbow Cone to the Sunshine State!"
"When our oldest daughter was young, we would go to The Original Rainbow Cone location in Beverly whenever we visited Erica's parents. I look back fondly on those memories," said Dave Campbell. "When the opportunity to partner with Rainbow Cone came up, it was the perfect fit."
In addition to their deep connection to Rainbow Cone, the Campbell's have over twenty years in hospitality, sales, marketing and financial experience together. They believe Rainbow Cone will be a hit in the Sarasota community for its one-of-a-kind, stacked five flavors of ice cream, modern store design, and place for family experiences, as well as their commitment to being leaders in the region. They have a strong faith in the Sapp and Buonavolanto family, and share the same passion for Rainbow Cone's delicious flavors and values.
"We've partnered with a great Chicago family to open the first Rainbow Cone in Sarasota," said Joe Buonavolanto III, VP of Franchise and Sales at The Buona Companies. "We stand behind Erica and Dave as they start their new business and bring classic Chicago flavors to the region, and support them as they serve as leaders in the Sarasota community."
Founded in 1926 by "Grandpa Joe" Sapp, who was never satisfied with just one ice cream flavor, Rainbow Cone features five delicious flavors on a single cone. The brand has since expanded to kiosks and trucks throughout the Chicago area, and launched its new franchise program in 2022. The program includes a range of opportunities, with a proven, proprietary business approach developed and fine-tuned by Rainbow Cone that spans industry-leading technology, support, training, and quality assurance, as well as allocation of marketing resources, field teams and more to help franchisees thrive and succeed.
Rainbow Cone plans to host a Rainbow Cone truck tour in Florida, Grand Opening festivities, and giveaways to alert the region of the Campbell's Sarasota Rainbow Cone location. The company's franchise program will open additional locations across Florida, including Tampa, Fort Myers, Keys and Naples. For more information about the Rainbow Cone franchise program, visit Rainbowconefranchise.com
The Original Rainbow Cone serves ice cream featuring extraordinary flavors and textures, including the world-famous 5-flavor "Rainbow Cone," sundaes, milkshakes, and memories dedicated to last forever. After opening in 1926, the "Rainbow Cone'' received its fame and quickly became the most unique ice cream cone anyone has ever seen. As Rainbow Cone works to expand their locations and showcase our new adventures, like ice cream trucks, they are excited to share their love for Rainbow Cone's signature sliced cone with even more communities. The Original Rainbow Cone is also available for nationwide shipping via Goldbelly. With four locations in the Chicago area and growing, locals count on The Original Rainbow Cone as a Chicago staple and a sweet treat.

Midlands car dealer hit with multi-million euro bill in Revenue's latest Tax Defaulter list
Defunct car dealers in the Midlands have left behind two tax bills that totalling in excess of €10 million according to the latest Revenue Commissioner's latest tax default list.
The new Revenue's published List of Tax Defaulters covers the period from 1 April 2022 to 30 June 2022.
Top of that list are two related car dealerships that traded in Graiguecullen in Laois. Both are now in liquidation. Both had addresses on the Sleaty Road which has Carlow address but were located in the Laois border town Graiguecullen.
Meridian Motors Limited, is described by Revenue as a motor vehicle dealer that traded as the Carlow Motor Company but is now in liquidation. A Revenue audit case for under-declaration of PAYE/PRSI/USC and VAT revealed an unpaid sum of €2,276,667. Interest amounted to €1,330,544. Penalties were calculated at €2,241,723. The total owed is €5,848,934 of which €122,411 had been paid by June 30,2022.
Meridian Motors 2014 Limited is also on the list. Described as a motor vehicle dealer it's also in liquidation. A Revenue audit case for under-declaration of PAYE/PRSI/USC and VAT revealed a sum owed of €1,926,340. Interest ran to €1,036,525 while the penalties amounted to €1,922,096. This revealed a total of €4,884,961 owed to the State of which €56,913 had been paid by June 30, 2022.
Where a taxpayer has failed to pay or failed to enter into an arrangement to pay the full amount of the settlement, the amount unpaid as at 30 June 2022 is indicated in the list.
The Revenue say Part 2 settlements are not published where the taxpayer has made a qualifying disclosure relating to undisclosed tax, as defined in Section 1077E (1) of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, where the settlement amount does not exceed the relevant threshold, currently €35,000, or where the amount of fine or other penalty does not exceed 15% of the amount of tax.
Revenue also publishes a Part 1 list which includes persons in whose case the Court has determined a penalty relating to a settlement, or has imposed a fine, imprisonment or other penalty in respect of a tax or duty offence.
Details are published when the Court determined penalty exceeds 15% of the total tax (where the total amount of tax only exceeds €50,000) and a qualifying disclosure has not been made:
The biggest penalty was incurred by company director / landlord Clement Kenny, The Residence, NO. 3 Crane Lane, Dublin 2. He incurred a penalty of €25,765 following a determination by the Courts relating to a non-declaration of Capital Gains Tax in the amount of €6,033 (incl. surcharge €287) and an under-declaration of Income Tax in the amount of €84,389 (incl. surcharge of €4,252).
These published settlements reflect only a portion of all Revenue audits and investigations. In the 3-month period to 30 June 2022 a total of 287 Revenue audit and investigations, together with 13,983 Risk Management Interventions (Aspect Queries and Profile Interviews), were settled, resulting in a yield of €3.540 billion in tax, interest, and penalties.
#EXPLAINER AND FURTHER INFO ON LATEST LIST
Part 1: Court Determinations
Court Determination of Penalty: Subject to certain criteria, in settlement cases where there is no agreement to a penalty, or a person fails to pay an agreed penalty, the Court determines the penalty. Details are published when the Court determined penalty exceeds 15% of the total tax (where the total amount of tax only exceeds €50,000) and a qualifying disclosure has not been made:
There were 2 such cases in the 3-month period to 30 June 2022 with €41,682 being the total amount of the Court determined penalties.
Court imposed fine, imprisonment or other penalty: Details are published when a fine or other Court penalty is imposed in respect of tax or duty offences. Court penalties may include imprisonment, partly suspended or suspended sentences, community service in lieu of imprisonment, and closure orders.
67 such cases are published and €153,300 is the total amount of the court fines imposed these include:
Court Determination of Penalty: Subject to certain criteria, in settlement cases where there is no agreement to a penalty, or a person fails to pay an agreed penalty, the Court determines the penalty. Details are published when the Court determined penalty exceeds 15% of the total tax and the total of the tax, interest and penalty is more than €35,000 and a qualifying disclosure has not been made:
Part 2: Settlements
Settlements are published when the extensive voluntary disclosure options are not availed of and the default arises because of careless or deliberate behaviour:
Revenue says vigorously pursues collection/enforcement of unpaid settlements. In some cases, collection/recovery of the full unpaid amount will not be possible (e.g. company liquidation).
Background
Revenue says its compliance programme is carried out under the "Code of Practice for Revenue Audit and other Compliance Interventions" (the Code). The significant benefits of making a ‘qualifying disclosure’ are set out in the Code and include availing of reduced penalties, avoiding publication in the List of Tax Defaulters, and avoiding possible prosecution.
Publication
Revenue says it publishes the List of Tax Defaulters under the provisions of Section 1086 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended. The list is published in two parts:
Part 1: Court Penalty Determinations and Court imposed fine, imprisonment or other penalty
Court penalty determinations are published where a taxpayer has not made a qualifying disclosure, the Court determined penalty exceeds 15% of the total tax, and the total of the tax, interest and penalty is more than €35,000.
All cases where a fine, imprisonment or other Court penalty is imposed by a Court, in respect of a tax or duty offence, are published.
Part 2: Accepted Settlements (and Settlements deemed to be agreed due to full payment)
Where a taxpayer has voluntarily furnished complete information relating to undisclosed tax liabilities and paid the tax and interest due (made a qualifying disclosure of tax defaults), settlements are not published.
Since 1 May 2017, significant changes and restrictions have come into effect where the case involves matters outside the Republic of Ireland, or 'offshore matters'. These changes limit the opportunity to make a 'qualifying disclosure' and coincide with increased international co-operation whereby Revenue gets more and more information automatically from other jurisdictions.
Legislation introduced in the Finance Act 2016 obliges Revenue to identify settlements where the person has failed to pay within the relevant period.
Settlements are not published where the taxpayer has made a qualifying disclosure relating to undisclosed tax, as defined in Section 1077E (1) of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, where the settlement amount does not exceed the relevant threshold, currently €35,000, or where the amount of fine or other penalty does not exceed 15% of the amount of tax.
Calculation of Penalties
Where a qualifying disclosure has not been made, Revenu say penalties between 15% and 100% are applied, depending on the category of default and whether or not the taxpayer has cooperated fully with Revenue in the course of enquiries. The categories of default are Deliberate Behaviour or Careless Behaviour.
Deliberate Behaviour involves either a breach of a tax obligation with indicators consistent with intent on the part of the taxpayer or a breach that cannot be explained solely by carelessness
Careless Behaviour involves lack of due care, which results in the incorrect declaration of tax liabilities by a taxpayer, or which results in the making of incorrect repayment claims. The level of penalty may be further reduced having regard to the level of cooperation provided by the taxpayer once the default is uncovered. Full details of the level of penalties applicable to audit settlements are set out in Penalty Table 1 (Paragraph 5.6.2) of the Code.
Innocent errors and adjustments due to different interpretations of legislation
Penalties are not applicable where a tax default is not deliberate or is not attributable in any way to the failure by a taxpayer to take reasonable care to comply with his or her tax obligations. Neither is a penalty applicable where an adjustment to liability arises from differences in the interpretation or the application of legislation, and the taxpayer could reasonably have considered her/his interpretation to be correct.

Cost of living crisis: Sainsbury’s reveal Autumn pay rise for staff, free food and increased discounts
The lowest-paid workers are getting further support through the cost of living crisis.
Sainsbury’s has revealed a new £25 million plan to help their lowest paid store-workers deal with the rising cost of living.
Starting October, 127,000 hourly workers will get a 25p an hour pay rise, increasing their pay to £10.25 an hour with London staff earning £11.30.
As well as a pay increase, store-workers will also be getting free food during their shifts as well as increased in-store discounts.
This is Sainsbury’s second pay rise this year, with a 5% pay rise being implemented back in the spring of 2022.
Most Popular
The new pay rise increases the company’s wage bills to £150 million annually., and combined with millions of pounds being used to keep food prices down, will leave a mark on Sainsbury’s profits.
Simon Roberts, chief executive of Sainsbury’s, said: “Every day I am hearing from colleagues who are really feeling the pressures of the rising cost of living,
“That’s why we are doing everything we can to help our colleagues as they face rising bills and living costs this autumn. This is the first time we have given two pay rises in the same year.”
The 25p pay rise will cost Sainsbury’s £20 million, and an additional £5 million will be used to provide its employees with free food such as toast, soup and porridge.
As well as a pay rise and free food, the employee discounts, which are currently at 10% at Sainsbury’s and its partner store Argo’s, will be increased to 15% and 20% in time for Christmas shopping.
Roberts adds: “We had a debate over whether we should leave this until next year or bring forward some of this now, given the challenges of the autumn and winter ahead,
“We have 127,000 people that get up every day, often in the middle of the night, to get our stores and operations ready for customers. We need to support them as we go into this winter period. Therefore we made the choice to bring forward this pay increase to now.”
Sainsbury’s has invested £65 million to keep food prices competitive as part of a two year plan to keep costs down during the increasing energy bill costs and the rising inflation.
“Prices are going up slower at Sainsbury’s than at any of our competitors and that means our volumes are increased,” Roberts said.
“The comparison between prices at Sainsbury’s and prices at Aldi have never been so close as they are now. Customers are choosing to do more of their shopping with us as they get confident that the prices of everyday products like fruit, vegetables, chicken, dairy and bread, which are really strong.”

Watch Live: Queen Elizabeth II moved to Westminster Hall to lie in state
get the free appQueen Elizabeth II's coffin was processed through central London on Wednesday from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where the late monarch will lie in state for four days until her funeral on Monday.
Members of the public will be able to visit the queen's coffin at Westminster Hall to pay their respects. Crowds had already gathered early Wednesday morning to view the procession, and a line had begun to form of people waiting to file past the queen's coffin. The doors of the ancient hall on the bank of the River Thames were to open to the public from 5 p.m. local time.
On person in the crowd, Sharon Stapleton, told CBS News she had "met lots of interesting different people you wouldn't meet normally — all brought together and united in their grief for the queen, and excited about being able to go through and see her lying in state."
"It's been a long night. It's been raining, very wet, a bit cold," added Stapleton, who said she started waiting in the line at 9 p.m. Tuesday night. "But it's worth every minute of it."
The most senior members of the royal family took part in the procession — a roughly 40-minute walk — from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, including the new monarch King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew. William, Prince of Wales and Harry, Duke of Sussex marched in a row behind the queen's children.
The procession included the tolling of the bells of Big Ben, the iconic clock tower in Parliament Square, and a gun salute at Hyde Park nearby.
As the procession passed, the gathered crowd broke out into applause at various points along the route.
A short service began after the coffin reached Westminster Hall, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, which the royal family — including the Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex — attended.
The coffin will rest on a raised platform that will be guarded around the clock for the full four-day lying in state period by members of various British military regiments assigned to royal protection duty.

The conversations stopped. As if out of a period film, four trumpeters of the royal cavalry, in red and gold pourpoint, took their position at the foot of the stained glass window occupying the south front of Westminster Hall, the enormous medieval hall of the Palace of Westminster. It is the oldest part of the current seat of the British Parliament, dating back to the 11th century and erected on the orders of William II (ca. 1060-1100), son of William the Conqueror. Two purple armchairs were placed in the middle of a monumental flight of steps.
Liz Truss's entire cabinet was present. The huge lawn was occupied by a large number of parliamentarians: the House of Commons MPs and non-elected members of the House of Lords. Boris Johnson sat next to Theresa May, who was wearing a big black hat. Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the Labour opposition, was a little lost and eventually found a place behind the two former prime ministers.
They were waiting for Charles III and his first visit to Parliament as monarch, on Monday 12 September. The place was not chosen by accident – a large part of the history of the British parliamentary monarchy has been written in this hall. It is here that in medieval times, the monarch gave lavish parties. It was also the place of the coronation banquets for Henry VIII, his second wife Anne Boleyn and their daughter Elizabeth I.
'The weight of history'
As early as the 13th century, royal justice was dispensed here and the Rule of Law was forged. It was also here that King Charles I, with his absolutist pretensions, was tried and sentenced to death for treason in 1649. And finally, the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II will be displayed here to the public, draped in the Royal Standard (the royal flag) from Wednesday, September 14, at 5 pm local time until the dawn of September 19, the day of her funeral. Hundreds of thousands of people will come to pay their respects, and the wait to enter the hall could last up to 30 hours.
The minutes stretched out on Monday morning; the old-fashioned rituals of the British monarchy take time. The audience discreetly consulted their phones or admired the enormous oak framework of the place, when the roar of a helicopter was heard over Big Ben nearby. (The Elizabeth Tower that bears the famous clock is part of the Palace of Westminster.) It was followed by the heavy footsteps of the king's bodyguards that echoed on the hall's stone tiles. They wore outfits that seem to have remained unchanged since their creation in 1485. The royal Rolls-Royce Phantom IV parked in front of the north entrance of the building and the ceremony of the presentation of addresses began.

EU proposes $140 billion windfall tax on energy companies
By Anna Cooban, CNN Business
The European Union wants to raise €140 billion ($140 billion) by tapping the windfall profits of some energy companies to help households and businesses pay eye-watering gas and electricity bills.
On Wednesday, the European Commission proposed capping the profits of renewable and nuclear electricity producers, and taxing the windfall earnings of oil and gas companies.
Profits at power generators using wind, solar and nuclear energy have ballooned because their tariffs are linked to the wholesale price of natural gas, which soared to a record high in March after Russia invaded Ukraine, and now stands about 550% up on year-ago levels.
Europe sanctioned Russian oil and coal exports after the invasion, prompting Moscow to slash supplies of gas in return.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday that the bloc would conduct a “deep and comprehensive reform” to decouple the cost of gas from the price of electricity.
“These companies are making revenues they never accounted for, they never even dreamt of,” she told EU lawmakers in a speech in Strasbourg, France. “It is wrong to receive extraordinary record profits benefiting from war and on the back of consumers,” she added.
The Commission’s proposals still need to be debated and adopted by EU member states.
The bloc could introduce a cap of €180 ($180) per megawatt hour on the electricity produced by renewable energy firms, the Commission said in a statement. Europe’s benchmark wholesale gas price is currently €212 ($212) per megawatt hour.
Natural gas and oil prices started rising last year as countries reopened from their pandemic lockdowns, sparking a surge in demand. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February — and the resulting energy standoff between Europe and Moscow — sent them through the roof. Oil has since fallen back as a global economic slowdown leads to reduced demand, but natural gas prices remain higher than their March peak.
The EU proposal is part of a package of measures to help the region weather the energy crisis this winter, when temperatures drop and demand normally spikes.
The package includes a “crisis contribution” from oil, gas and coal producers, who have reaped similarly huge profits, and mandatory targets for countries to slash their electricity consumption during peak hours.
The Commission said in its statement that EU member states should levy an extra tax on any profits that exceed the average earnings for the past three years by more than 20%. It did not specify the rate of tax.
“They have to pay a fair share,” von der Leyen said.
She also said that the billions national governments have already committed to support consumers would “not be enough” on their own.
Together, European countries and the United Kingdom — which is mired its own energy crisis — have so far promised about €500 billion ($500 billion) in subsidies to help households and businesses cope with rocketing energy bills.
The United Kingdom imposed a 25% tax on the windfall profits of its oil and gas companies earlier this year to help pay for an initial round of relief for customers this year.
But Prime Minister Liz Truss has ruled out raising or extending the tax to help fund her much bolder plan to cap household bills at £2,500 ($2,888) a year for the next two years, and to support businesses over the next six months. Analysts say those measures could cost as much as £150 billion ($173 billion).

Fifth grade students are to receive scholarships from the first day of the school year, Minister of Education Sorin Cimpeanu told a press conference on Wednesday, at the end of the Government meeting.
"Fifth grade students benefit from scholarships and for the first time in the post-December history of the education system in Romania, they receive these scholarships starting with the first day of the school year. Until now, the fifth grade students could only receive scholarships in the second semester, for four months. The scholarships were worth 200 RON, if you refer to the merit scholarships. Few received these scholarships. At present, all these students receive scholarships of 150 RON, for nine months. As a parent, I would consider what is preferable - to receive a four-month scholarship of 200 RON, as it was until now, or to receive a nine-month scholarship of 150 RON per month, as it is from now thanks to this minister's order," said Cimpeanu.
He added that all students who meet the social, income, medical or other criteria receive social scholarships. According to the minister, all students who need transportation to school in another locality receive an allowance in this regard.
"No one is being eliminated. No one has cut anyone's scholarship. At a time when the scholarship budget is increasing fivefold, I think it goes without saying that students will receive much more money, including students from rural areas who need transport to schools," explained Sorin Cimpeanu.AGERPRES

London, Sep 14 (PTI) Nearly six million people tried to follow a British Royal Air Force transport aircraft taking Queen Elizabeth II's coffin from Edinburgh in Scotland to London, making it the most tracked flight in history, website Flightradar24 said on Wednesday.
The Queen's coffin was flown on a RAF Globemaster C-17 on Tuesday evening, after lying in state at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.
The previous record was when a US military aircraft carrying US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan last month was followed by 2.2 million people on Flightradar24.
On Tuesday, nearly six million people tried to follow the British military plane's route from Edinburgh to RAF Northolt within its first minute in the air, the website said.
Also Read | Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Visits Recently Retaken, Devastated City of Izium (See Pics).
The huge traffic caused disruptions to the site, where users can track the path of planes in the air.
More than 4.79 million people watched on its site and app and 296,000 were watching on a YouTube stream, the BBC reported.
The flight used the callsign "Kittyhawk", used for any military flight with the Queen on board.
The C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft was earlier used to take humanitarian aid and weapons to Ukraine following Russia's invasion.
Prime Minister Liz Truss and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace were among those waiting at RAF Northolt for the flight carrying the coffin of the late monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II died aged 96 at her Balmoral Castle summer residence in Scotland on September 8.
Flightradar24 said it had taken steps to make its platform as stable as possible before the plane took off.
The 82-year-old US politician's visit to Taiwan took place on August 2 amid the uncertainty about whether Pelosi would follow through on her pledge to visit the self-ruled island, which China says is a rebel province that should be reunified with the mainland, even by force.
The flight to Taiwan taken by Pelosi, the US House of Representatives Speaker, in August attracted interest as she was the highest-ranking American official in 25 years to visit Taiwan.
Pelosi flew aboard a Boeing C-40C jet (a military version of the Boeing 737 jetliner) operated by the US Air Force. The flight flew under the call sign “SPAR19.”
Explaining how Tuesday's figures had dwarfed that traffic, Flightradar24 said: "Based on our experience last month, we expected a large influx of users, but this immediate, massive spike was beyond what we had anticipated."
It said about 600,000 users were able to "successfully follow the flight before performance degraded".
"Even though our platform suffered under such heavy load, Queen Elizabeth II's final flight from Edinburgh to RAF Northolt is by far the all-time most tracked flight on Flightradar24 and will likely remain at the top for a long while," it said. PTI

Joseph Sabino Mistick: We could use a little of Jack Bogut's storytelling these days
When Jack Bogut was the king of morning radio in Pittsburgh, waking up to your favorite station was not as scary as it is these days. We always seem to be on the brink of something terrible or faced with something terrible that happened overnight — political violence, mass shootings, the pandemic — but it wasn’t always like that.

NEW YORK (AP) — Five years after Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico and exposed the funding problems the Caribbean island has long faced, philanthropists warn that many of those issues remain unaddressed, just like the repairs still needed for the American territory’s physical infrastructure.
The Category 4 storm, with winds reaching 155 miles per hour (250 kilometers per hour), killed dozens immediately on Sept. 20, 2017 and researchers estimate thousands more died in the aftermath due to the lack of permanent shelter and power. According to a Hispanic Federation report released Wednesday, Hurricane Maria did an estimated $90 billion in damage to the island.
“It was just such a scary moment,” said “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who helped mobilize millions in aid for Puerto Rico. “But one of the silver linings has been the coalition building between the diaspora and residents on the island that was really formed out of those challenges.”
That coalition building was sorely needed, because Puerto Rico and its residents have an unusual image problem in philanthropy, said Hispanic Federation President and CEO Frankie Miranda. International nonprofits generally left it out of donations given to the neediest populations because it is part of the United States, while American nonprofits often left it out of programs by earmarking donations only for the 50 states.
That long-running problem was intensified by what critics say was former President Donald Trump’s administration’s slow response to Hurricane Maria, which extended the impact of the storm, including the longest blackout in American history.
“It was about fairness,” said Frankie Miranda, adding that some federal recovery funds are only getting to Puerto Rico now. “It was about equity. We were not getting the fair share for people on the island compared to other disasters happening in the United States. So we needed to act.”
Frankie Miranda will lead a delegation from the Hispanic Federation — including Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is not related — to Puerto Rico on Wednesday to mark the anniversary of Hurricane Maria and survey what has been accomplished and what still needs to be done.
For Lin-Manuel Miranda, the storm was personal. He had family on the island who he couldn’t reach because phone service was knocked out. He remembered learning that his uncle survived the storm from a photo on Facebook showing his uncle volunteering help.
However, his most successful initial fundraising campaign was not planned. Lin-Manuel Miranda, known for being level-headed and upbeat almost as he is known for his creativity, got mad about Trump’s reaction to the suffering he saw in Puerto Rico.
“You’re going straight to hell, @realdonaldtrump,” he tweeted, along with a link to the Hispanic Federation’s fund for Puerto Rico.
The reaction was fast and intense. Donations skyrocketed, eventually topping more than 200,000 separate gifts, as did attention for the victims of the hurricane. The next day, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s photo and tweet was on the front page of the New York Daily News next to Trump.
“I didn’t anticipate any of that,” he said. “But, anger can be a galvanizing force. And the widespread frustration with that president’s inability to engage with reality, sort of galvanized a lot of donations. That was the biggest moment in terms of fundraising.”
Lin-Manuel Miranda then worked to keep the momentum going. “I burned up my Rolodex to make that almost like praying,” he said, as he sought donations. “And then I burned up my Twitter DMs for people I didn’t know. The first six months it basically became our entire lives. I just put everything else in our lives on hold.”
Initially, the focus was on the “really nitty gritty things, like food, water, basic recovery supplies.” Then, he began to expand the scope of the aid, eventually bringing a production of “Hamilton” to the island as a fundraiser.
Proceeds from those shows helped launch the Flamboyan Arts Fund, which helps preserve and support the arts in Puerto Rico with support from major nonprofits, including Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Mellon Foundation.
“We realized that the arts never get included in recovery efforts,” the “In the Heights” star said. “Yet, when you think about this tiny part of the world 100 miles across and how much it has given to the arts — it’s absurd how much Puerto Rican artists have enriched global culture. The No. 1 artist in the world, Bad Bunny, is from the island. So we need to protect Puerto Rican culture and Puerto Rican art on the island.”
Working with the Hispanic Foundation, Lin-Manuel Miranda also helped support the Puerto Rican coffee industry, long a point of pride for the island because it could count popes and royalty among its customers.
“Coffee plants aren’t sunflowers — they don’t grow back in a season,” he said, adding that about 85% of the coffee crop was wiped out by Hurricane Maria. “We talked to anybody who was in the coffee business, in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, to figure out how to jumpstart this and also empower coffee growers. And now, at the five-year mark, coffee is back and exceeding pre-Hurricane Maria levels in terms of production.”
Sara Lomelin, CEO of Philanthropy Together, a nonprofit that uses grassroots giving to diversify donations, said she worried that the underfunding of Puerto Rico by major donors would return once the emergencies caused by Hurricane Maria had passed.
“Everybody responds to disasters because you are seeing the direct effect,” Lomelin said. “What people forget is that when there is a disaster like Hurricane Maria or the wildfires in California or the pandemic, is that you can’t just put a Band-Aid on it. These things take years. And the problem is people move to the next disaster or move to the next issue after a couple of weeks or months and they forget the problem is still there.”
However, she said the current mix of medium-term and long-term donations in Puerto Rico gives her hope and that attention tied to the anniversary and Hispanic Heritage Month, which starts on Sept. 15, will provide momentum. “I love that the Hispanic Federation has these initiatives right now, where they are focusing on long-term things that need to happen,” she said. “I do believe that disasters can be the perfect time for people to get organized.”
Lomelin said that works best when donors listen to the communities receiving the funds. And that’s something that Hispanic Federation’s Frankie Miranda believes in and has invested more than $50 million in the island so far.
“There is so much that philanthropy can do,” he said. “But we also can be advocates so that organizations in Puerto Rico continue to be part of a participatory process, ensuring that the funds go to the neediest cases. Puerto Rico needs to remain on the philanthropy map for all of these major institutions.”

New report warns world is 'heading in wrong direction' post-pandemic resulting in a 48 per cent chance the global 1.5C temperature goal could be temporarily breached in next five years
There is now a near 50-50 chance of global warming temporarily rising above the totemic 1.5C threshold set out in the Paris Agreement in at least one of the next five years, underscoring the desperate need for the global economy to close the yawning gap between climate aspirations and action.
That is the sobering conclusion of the World Meteorological Organisation's (WMO) annual state of the climate assessment today, which warns that without more ambitious action to slash emissions, the physical and socioeconomic impacts of climate change will become "increasingly devastating".
The report stresses the world is still "heading in the wrong direction" in its response to climate change, with greenhouse gas concentrations continuing to rise to record highs and fossil fuel emission rates having now risen back above pre-pandemic levels after the temporary drop that resulted from national lockdowns.
The "science is clear" on climate change, the report states, highlighting how the past seven years have been the warmest on record, leading to increasingly volatile and unpredictable weather patterns that are taking a growing toll on lives and livelihoods worldwide.
However, with just two months until governments around the world once again meet for the UN annual climate talks at the COP27 Summit in Egypt, national emissions reduction pledges remain far below what is required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. Decarbonisation pledges for 2030 need to be as much as seven times higher in order to bring the global economy into align with a 1.5C warming trajectory, the report emphasises.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said the WMO report showed that climate impacts worldwide were now heading into an "uncharted territory of destruction", as he reiterated his demand for countries to accelerate the phase out of fossil fuels worldwide.
"Floods, droughts, heatwaves, extreme storms and wildfires are going from bad to worse, breaking records with alarming frequency," he said. "Heatwaves in Europe. Colossal floods in Pakistan. Prolonged and severe droughts in China, the Horn of Africa and the United States. There is nothing natural about the new scale of these disasters. They are the price of humanity's fossil fuel addiction.
"Yet each year we double-down on this fossil fuel addiction, even as the symptoms get rapidly worse."
The multi-agency report offers disturbing overview of the most recent science related to climate change, its impacts, and responses, and has been drawn up by some of the world's leading climate experts, scientists, and organisations.
It reiterates the UK Met Office's recent findings that there now exists a 48 per cent chance of global average temperatures temporarily breaching 1.5C above pre-industrial levels during at least one year in the next five, and a 93 per cent chance of a new record hottest year occurring in the same time period.
There does, however, remain only a small probability of the five year average over this time period exceeding 1.5C, it stresses.
The temperature records that are likely to be set in the coming years are being driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions across the board, with levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide all continuing to rise, with the pandemic in 2020 having had little impact on long term emissions growth, according to the report.
Last year global fossil fuel related O2 emissions returned to pre-pandemic levels, after a 5.4 per cent drop in 2020 due to lockdowns around the world. Preliminary data shows that global CO2 emissions from January to May 2022 were above the same period in 2019, largely driven by increases in the US, India, and most European countries, it explains.
As a result, temperatures are expected to continue rising and climate impacts becoming increasingly dangerous and unpredictable, according to the WMO, which emphasised that it could not rule out "tipping points" in the planet's climate system being triggered by increasing warming, that could then in turn lead to further rapid warming.
The report comes just days after a separate study in the journal Science that warned that climatic tipping points that could result in the collapse of natural carbon sinks and thus trigger further warming could occur if temperatures rise past 1.5C.
The WMO report also highlights the scale of the social and economic impacts that are already being experienced as a result of around 1.1C of warming. According to the WMO's World Weather Watch Programme, the number of weather, climate, and water related disasters has increased by a factor of five over the past 50 years, causing $202m in economic losses daily.
Meanwhile, between 3.3 billion to 3.6 billion people around the world currently live in contexts that are highly vulnerable to climate change, underscoring the need not just for action to cut emissions, but also to build resilience and improve extreme weather early-warning systems, the WMO said.
"Climate science is increasingly able to show that many of the extreme weather events that we are experiencing have become more likely and more intense due to human-induced climate change," said WMO secretary-general Professor Petteri Taalas. "We have seen this repeatedly this year, with tragic effect. It is more important than ever that we scale up action on early warning systems to build resilience to current and future climate risks in vulnerable communities. That is why WMO is spearheading a drive to ensure ‘Early Warnings for All' in the next five years."
The report includes input from the WMO, UN Environment Programme, UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the World Climate Research Programme, Global Carbon Project, the UK's Met Office, and the Urban Climate Change Research Network. It also includes relevant headline statements from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's most recent landmark assessments.
Tasneem Essop, executive director at the Climate Action Network - a global network of over 1,500 green NGOs in more than 130 countries - called on governments at COP27 to agree a fairer funding system to ensure polluting countries ramp up support for the most climate vulnerable communities worldwide.
"The terrifying picture painted by the United in Science report is already a lived reality for millions of people facing recurring climate disasters," she said. "The science is clear, yet the addiction to fossil fuels by greedy corporations and rich countries is resulting in losses and damages for communities who have done the least to cause the current climate crisis. We must change course rapidly and end this dependence on fossil fuels through a just and equitable transition."

It's one thing to be homeless, but it's certainly another to be homeless as a child on the streets of New York with a mother suffering from severe mental illness.
That's what David Ambroz faced for much of his childhood – and now he has described that harrowing experience and how he overcame it in his new memoir, "A Place Called Home."
On a brutally cold night in New York when he was about four years old, Ambroz said he thought he might die.
"My sister and brother stopped speaking. We couldn't control our bowel movements and we started having fuzzy thoughts and collapsing," he told Morning Edition host Rachel Martin. "We sat on tops of grates so the subway air pushed out was warm until we couldn't. So there's moments of neglect. That certainly was a moment I thought my Mom, through her mental illness, might do that, might lead us to death."
A difficult realization that Ambroz and his siblings must enter foster care
There were many trying times that followed that cold night. When Ambroz was about 12, he and his older siblings, Alex (13) and Jessica (14), realized they needed to leave their mother and enter foster care.
"Right before I entered foster care was one particularly clear moment in my mind," he recalls. "My mom really lost control and became destabilized, and she brutally beat me to near-death, and that is when I put us in foster care for the final time."
"I was able to stand up and realize that my mom was going to kill me," Ambroz said.
Foster care certainly had its challenges for Ambroz and his siblings, but they had shelter, access to food, and some stability – and perhaps most important to the author, they began going to school on a regular basis.
"School was everything," he said. "I think schools today, and even then, have become so much more than a place where we learn – they are a place where kids are fed, where we access health care and where we're cool or we're warm, we're safe."
"I loved school [and] I mean, I would live for that free lunch. Teachers saw what was going on and did just a little bit more to help my siblings and I get through the day or the moment," Ambroz recalled.
Ambroz finds happiness and ways to support others
He credits foster care and the compassion he received from teachers as part of the reason he was able to turn his life around and get on the right track – and today, he's found happiness.
"I have the best life," he said. "I'm so happy. I'm in a home that I own. I have a beautiful foster son who's in graduate school [at Cornell University]. My brother and sister are thriving. They have advanced degrees and beautiful, healthy families. I care for my mom. She's no longer homeless, but she's still, you know, fighting her demons ... and I'm an active member of my community."
In the mid-1990s, he became a leading advocate for child welfare, and remains one to this day. In 2016, he was recognized by then-President Obama as an American Champion of Change, and Obama had this to say about him: "You will fall in love with David Ambroz, his beautifully-told, gut-wrenching story, and his great big heart."
Ambroz now lives in Los Angeles, where he works for Amazon as head of community engagement for the Western U.S.
He calls it "the best damn job you could possibly imagine."
"I'm literally charged with doing good in the community ... they want me to go out and do good in the community. And I think about that every day," Ambroz said.
"How could this kid that lived in Grand Central go out today with the resources of this company and try and change lives? And literally, my measurement of my success is that impact. How is that possible? And that's why I remain optimistic."

Former President Trump’s legal team is trying to have it both ways — insinuating he declassified the documents stored at his Florida home without directly claiming he did so.
Trump’s legal team in a Monday court filing failed to fully premise its argument on the excuse the president has repeatedly offered since confirming his home was search: that he had already declassified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Instead, it noted he had the power to do so without “approval of bureaucratic components of the executive branch” — seemingly offering an air of mystery around whether the former president ever declassified the tranche of more than 300 intelligence documents in his home.
But experts say if you take Trump at his word, the secretive nature through which he would have declassified those records is itself problematic.
“If he did, and he did it in the way that he claims he did, that’s actually not really the flex he thinks it is. It actually suggests that he had a nefarious purpose,” Asha Rangappa, a lecturer at Yale University and a former FBI special agent, said of Trump.
Pages from a Department of Justice court filing in response to a request from the legal team of former President Donald Trump for a special master to review the documents seized during the Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago. Included in the filing was a FBI photo of documents that were seized during the search. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick)
Sitting presidents have broad power to declassify documents, but doing so sets off a chain of events, including notification of the many intelligence agencies that produce and manage that information.
Rangappa said a failure to alert the intelligence community shows Trump wanted the information he took to still have value — something that would be lost in the declassification process.
“The full declassification process will then end up protecting sources and methods, so that if these secrets become known to people, they can’t do anything with it,” Rangappa said, essentially “neutralizing” the information.
Rangappa gave the example of a list of all U.S. informants scattered across the globe. If those people became compromised, the U.S. would need to spring into action.
“They would be moved, they would be protected [and] they would be exfiltrated so that when that list becomes public or when our adversaries get a hold of that list, they can’t do anything to those sources because they’ve already been protected. … In other words, to go through the whole declassification process renders this information largely invaluable to people who might be interested in it because they can’t really take advantage of it,” she said.
The same thing would happen in the case of other methods for collecting and intercepting information.
Kash Patel, who most recently served as chief of staff to Trump’s secretary of Defense, told The Wall Street Journal he witnessed Trump give verbal declassification orders, but they appear to have been related only to the investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia, and it’s not clear how that order would have been carried out.
“If your defense is ‘I declassified it, but I did it really secretly so that none of these things could be neutralized,’ then the only reason you would do that is if you still wanted these sources and methods to continue operating, even as you treated these secrets as being something that you could disseminate or share,” Rangappa said.
Trump’s motives for retaining the roughly 300 classified records or nearly 10,000 government documents in his home are not clear. In court filings, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has noted that Trump’s legal team has never offered an explanation for why he retained the records beyond arguing that he has a right to do so under executive privilege.
The DOJ noted in a filing last month that Trump and his team never raised the declassification claim in their months of negotiations, and as a defense, it may do little considering the government argues he has no right to retain any of the records.

(AP Photo/Jon Elswick)
But experts say the revelation that Trump’s declassification claim may have come only after the fact indicates there would have been little benefit in doing so.
“There’s no value in having information that everybody else has,” said Kel McClanahan, executive director of National Security Counselors, a nonprofit law firm specializing in national security law.
“He wanted this information because it was valuable to him, and it was extra valuable because he knew he was one of the only people that had it,” McClanahan added.
Declassification is not a defense for the charges laid out in the DOJ warrant to search Trump’s home. The Espionage Act deals only with “national defense information,” while another one of the statutes covers willful concealment of government records.
Rangappa lamented that Trump appears to be using declassification claims as a Get Out of Jail Free card but noted that the status is not stagnant — some presidents have opted to reclassify information declassified by their predecessors, another detail she said makes Trump’s storage of the documents alarming.
The Trump legal team’s failure to directly assert the claim is also telling given the span of time the records were sought — a process that started with outreach from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) just months after Trump left office.
“They had over a year of interactions with NARA. They’ve had months of interactions with the Department of Justice. They’ve had two legal filings and now one court hearing. And not once in any of those interactions have they claimed that any information at issue was declassified,” said Brian Greer, a former CIA attorney.
“They have claimed so on television, but there’s no criminal penalty for lying on television. There are, however, criminal penalties for lying to federal agencies, to federal investigators and to courts,” he added.
Even on Friday, Trump’s team seemed to raise the specter that he may have declassified the documents, writing only that the government “wrongly assumed that if a document has a classification marking, it remains classified in perpetuity.”
The Justice Department on Thursday asked a federal district court judge to reconsider her decision granting Trump’s request to allow a special master to review the documents, asking that it be allowed to carry on with its review of all the classified records.

(AP Photo/Jon Elswick)
It remains unclear how nearly 11,000 government documents, classified and unclassified, made it to Mar-a-Lago and the extent Trump played a role in directing documents to be removed and stored there. Some of the classified records, however, were found in his office among his personal belongings. Also among the tranche are empty folders that once housed the documents.
Throughout his presidency, intelligence community officials were often alarmed by Trump’s cavalier attitude toward classified information; Trump once tweeted a photo of sensitive surveillance image of an Iranian space facility.
Recent reporting from The New York Times indicates he would occasionally ask to hold on to various documents.
Former intelligence officials told the outlet Trump gravitated toward charts and other visuals and was particularly interested in information about how he was perceived after meeting with other world leaders as well as intelligence gathered about the personal lives of statesmen, including their extramarital affairs.
McClanahan said classification status alone may not have generated interest in the documents.
“He saw the value in the information, not in the fact that it was classified,” McClanahan said.
“The nature of the intelligence community is to classify things that are damaging, to classify information that could hurt national security. By definition, if they’re doing it right, anything they classify would damage the national security, which would make it important. So I think it’s sort of a mirage, it’s an optical illusion, that he took information because it was classified. He took the information because it was useful information. It was classified because it was useful information,” he added.
It’s not clear what was among the classified records recovered from Mar-a-Lago, but court filings indicate that they include some of the most restricted information, including Special Access Programs materials limited only to those with a specific need to know.
Also collected in the search were documents dealing with information about the “President of France” and Trump’s pardon of ally Roger Stone.
“I think that you’d probably be able to file most of this information into one of three categories: It’s information that can hurt him, so he doesn’t want other people to have it; information that can hurt other people, and he wants to have it; or information that other people would want, and they’ll have to come to him to get it,” McClanahan said.
“Between those three categories I think you can probably account for like 95 percent of all the materials he took, whether they be classified or unclassified,” he said.

Summer of ’22 Report: Drew Estate
In 2020, Drew Estate was one of the “Big Four” that made the decision to withdraw from exhibiting at the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Since then, Drew Estate has pivoted its model for introducing its products to market. At the time it was exhibiting at PCA, there was a heavy focus on marketing through the retail channel. Since withdrawing, Drew Estate has beefed up marketing in both the retail and consumer channels. As a result, Drew Estate is leveraging its own programs – including the Barn Smoker events and Freestyle Live live streams to introduce its products. In terms of products, there was a nice array of new releases and returning limited editions. This included a new brand, a soon-to-be-announced new brand, and the first major expansion of Liga Privada H99 and 10 Year Aniversario.

Summer of ’22 Report: Davidoff of Geneva
While Davidoff hasn’t been a quiet brand for 2022 as a whole, when it came to the Summer of ’22 reporting period (Memorial Day to Labor Day), the big three brands of Davidoff (Davidoff, Camacho, and Nicaragua) were all quiet.

Tanks: The Deciding Battle of the War of 1932
Row after row of the monsters roared by, going greedily with hungry guns into battle. The persistent, oily smell of fog-gas was everywhere, even in the little pill-box. Outside, all the world was blotted out by the thick gray mist that went rolling slowly across country with the breeze. The noises that came through it were curiously muted—fog-gas mutes all noises somewhat—but somewhere to the right artillery was pounding something with H E shell, and there were those little spitting under-current explosions that told of tanks in action. To the right there was a distant rolling of machine-gun fire. In between was an utter, solemn silence.
The Aldi Scotch That's Giving America Serious FOMO
Sometimes discount grocery chain Aldi gets a bad rap. Some critics of Aldi cite the lack of name brand items for more generic items and the chain's refusal to honor manufacturers' coupons as reasons to avoid the chain altogether (via MarketWatch). This is simply their opinion, however, and there are plenty of people who love the grocery store just as there are those who dislike it. Proponents of Aldi note that the chain's avoidance of most major brand names helps to keep the prices famously low — after all, many people don't mind paying a couple of bucks less for a box of cereal that's just like Cheerios in everything but the name.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, which has been caring for Cleveland’s sick since the Civil War era, announced Wednesday that it will stop offering inpatient care on Nov. 15.
The hospital will transition to ambulatory healthcare services, it said in a statement. Over the next eight weeks, patients are encouraged to check the St. Vincent website for additional information about the change in services.
Though eliminating all its overnight hospital beds, St. Vincent Charity Medical Center will continue to provide:
* Outpatient mental health services
* High-quality provision of addiction medicine services through Rosary Hall
* Primary care, internal medicine and specialty clinics
* Urgent care
“The seismic shifts in health care over the last decade have created a challenging environment for St. Vincent Charity Medical Center to continue as a traditional acute care hospital. The rise in demand for outpatient care, declining inpatient volume and the growth of telehealth, all of which were accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, have placed additional financial pressure on the hospital,” the statement said.
St. Vincent Charity will still employ about 100 caregivers, including clinical and non-clinical staff, the hospital said. It employed 1,442 people, according to 2019 tax records.
Medical residents at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center are invited to move to University Hospitals, which will also be conducting job fairs targeting clinical and non-clinical staff at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates
The move comes after the 416-bed hospital has dealt with years of financial struggle, magnified by the strain of the COVID-19 pandemic.
St. Vincent — located in Cleveland’s economically disadvantaged Central neighborhood near downtown, had a net loss of $14.5 million against revenue of $414 million last year, according to online sources.
The hospital operated at a loss every year since 2011, according to federal tax filings. St. Vincent lost $191,951 in 2020, $16.5 million in 2019 and $13.5 million in 2018.
St. Vincent last ended a year in the black, with $11 million in 2010.
The Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland last year announced plans to create a health campus in its neighborhood, aiming to build up medical and social services around the St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, The hospital, as described under the plan announced then, would anchor the development to be known as the St. Vincent Charity Health Campus.
St. Vincent’s announcement comes at a time of change in Cleveland’s healthcare landscape.
University Hospitals ended inpatient care, surgeries and emergency services at UH Bedford and UH Richmond hospitals in August. The health system pointed to a lack healthcare workers for the decisions.
But MetroHealth System is poised to open its new $946 million Glick Tower just a few miles southwest of St. Vincent, expanding healthcare services. Glick, along with the MetroHealth Cleveland Heights Medical Center specializing in behavioral health, are opening in October.
And expectations are high for UH Ahuja Phase 2, a $236.1 million project in Beachwood that will expand bed capacity and place a focus on wellness, emergency services and expanded operating room access.
Commitment ‘to the healing mission of Jesus’
St. Vincent Charity is Cleveland’s only faith-based, acute-care teaching hospital. It is a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System.
“Faithful to the philosophy and heritage of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, St. Vincent Charity is committed to the healing mission of Jesus, serving with a deep respect for the dignity and value of all persons, practicing with quality care, a dedication to the poor and a commitment to education,” the hospital said in a report.
The hospital is known for its specialty care, including Behavioral Health and Addiction Medicine at Rosary Hall, the Spine and Orthopedic Institute, the Center for Bariatric Surgery and the Health Literacy Institute. It operates one of the few 24/7 psychiatric emergency departments in the Ohio and has one of the largest dedicated hospital-based detox facilities in northern Ohio.
It also provides healthcare services in emergency medicine, primary care, , radiology, occupational health, oncology, pulmonary medicine and more.
The hospital system had a change of leadership this year, when Dr. Adnan Tahir became president in January. Previously, Tahir was senior vice president/chief clinical and administrative officer for the hospital.
Long history of serving community
St. Vincent’s roots go back to its founding in 1865. Milestones includes:
* 1869: School of Nursing founded with six students and the “Charity is Kind.”
* 1917: Raises more than $250,000 in six days to build a surgical pavilion, a six-story building with 150 beds, five operating rooms, an X-ray department and other facilities that included living quarters for physicians.
* 1952: Opens $2 million, 112-bed main building facing Central Avenue.
* 2009: Spends $6.9 million to renovate emergency department, modernize psychiatric emergency department and expand the hospital space.
* 2010: After a decade of joint venture with University Hospitals, St. Vincent Charity Hospital returns to sole ownership by the Sisters of Charity Health System. The hospital rebrands itself as St. Vincent Charity Medical Center.

California Medical Board investigates Dr Mark McDonald for 'spreading medical misinformation'

California makes open medical speech illegal as AB 2098 promises to suspend licenses of physicians who 'spread misinformation'
(Editor's note: The author of this column, Dr. Mark McDonald M.D., is being investigated by the California Medical Board for “spreading medical misinformation.” His response to the investigation, and the legislation that enabled it, follows.)
Two days ago, the California state legislature voted to approve Assembly Bill 2098, which grants the state government the power to suspend a physician’s medical license for disseminating “misinformation” about the Chinese Wuhan virus. Specifically, it would punish any doctor for speaking honestly about the so-called “vaccines,” PCR testing, forced masking, or the nature of the virus itself. This would destroy the doctor-patient relationship and criminalize public speech by all California physicians. It will also lead to the loss of every decent medical doctor and redefine a physician’s allegiance toward his patient, replacing it with allegiance with the state.
I should know. I am currently under investigation for an anonymous complaint filed (not from one of my patients) with the California Medical Board alleging I have spread “misinformation” about the Wuhan virus. Of course, nowhere in the complaint is there any example of this “misinformation” or evidence of anything I have ever said that is untrue. Essentially, what I am being accused of is disagreeing with the political stance of the government and medical establishment by advocating for sound medical practice based in actual science. For over two years now, both government and medical organizations have been spreading nothing but misinformation and lies, as we all now know. They have advocated for medically unsound treatments, medically dangerous and ineffective “vaccines,” and entirely injurious public health policies that include testing and quarantining healthy people, forcing children to wear diapers on their faces, and denying necessary medical care to anyone who refuses to accept an mRNA injection. Of course, they will never hold themselves accountable for any of this true misinformation under their own bill.
This week an “investigator” was assigned to my case from the “Division of Investigation—Health Quality Investigation Unit.” Sounds quite official and intimidating. Again, though, I have yet to be provided with any specific examples of untruths I have spoken or written since I began to challenge the mainstream narrative in March 2020. I consider this to be a purely political crime, a purely political investigation, and one that has nothing to do with science or medicine in any way. Unfortunately, when politics rather than truth and justice drives law, those who hold the power can ensure the outcome they desire.
It appears that the goal of the new bill, and of this investigation of me specifically, is to intimidate California physicians into remaining silent about the incalculable harm caused by treatment refusal, improper treatment, elder and child abuse through forced testing and masking, and mass “vaccine” programs that offer no benefit and only injury to patients. The state is now demanding—through force of law—that doctors violate their oath to do no harm. The state is now putting a gun to the heads of California physicians and ordering them to lie to their patients or risk losing their licenses. This is what Germany did during WWII, and what China is now doing today. Surgeons in Beijing are ordered by the Chinese Communist Party to harvest organs from political prisoners, while the prisoner is still alive, or risk imprisonment and torture themselves. This is how dictatorships co-opt medical doctors into doing their bidding, injuring and murdering patients, while summarily eliminating any physician who refuses to comply.
This bill requires Governor Gavin Newsom’s signature to be signed into law. Once that happens, medicine as we used to know it will be over in California. It will no longer be possible for any patient to trust his doctor, given the overwhelming coercive pressure placed on him by state government to lie.
Our last opportunity to halt this evil trend—and it is truly evil—will be the upcoming November elections. If those fail, I truly believe California will no longer be livable in any real sense, and it will be time for all rational, thoughtful Californians of any political persuasion to relocate and find a new home in another state.

HERNDON, Va., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Deltek, the leading global provider of software and solutions for project-based businesses, will be joining over 2,500 cyber professionals in Huntsville, Alabama, later this month at the National Cyber Summit (NCS) to focus on education, collaboration and innovation in cyber security.
The National Cyber Summit is the nation's most innovative cyber security-technology event, offering educational, collaborative and workforce development opportunities for industry visionaries and rising leaders. NCS offers more value than similar cyber conferences with diverse focus-areas, premier speakers, and unmatched accessibility.
Navigating the GovCon Cybersecurity Compliance Landscape
During the conference, Deltek industry and product experts will be on hand to demo solutions and answer questions in the Deltek booth, #300 in the Exposition Hall. In addition, on Wednesday, September 21, Deltek's VP of Product for Cloud, Compliance, and Security, Chris Knight, will be hosting a discussion on how to navigate the GovCon cybersecurity compliance landscape.
"Cybercrime is on the rise and bad actors are moving faster than ever. As the industry is pushed to implement more security and compliance requirements like CMMC, NIST and FedRAMP, it's critical for firms to understand the potential impacts to their business and how to best prepare," said Knight.
Knight's session will help attendees understand how to prepare their business moving forward: why cybersecurity is becoming more important for government contractors, what the Federal Government is doing about the increased threats and how to translate the cybersecurity "alphabet soup" – CMMC, NIST 800 series and FedRAMP, for example.
"Deltek is excited to return to the National Cyber Summit this year," Knight added. "When we spend time with the local community and businesses in Huntsville, we walk away more informed. The importance of this event can't be underestimated by the GovCon community. Educating yourself and your firm and staying up to date on the latest tech are critical for a company's cyber strategy."

£4.5m community facility proposed for Rathcoole
Plans for a dedicated community hub and sports facility in Rathcoole moved a step closer as the Consultant Tender was recently released.
The service for the provision of a consultant team in conjunction with the PM/QS to ensure the successful delivery of the Dunanney Pavilion and 3G pitch project was advertised on September 7.
The facility, which will be created through £4.5m worth of funding from Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, is due to be operational by 2025 if plans are approved.
In a statement issued to the Newtownabbey Times, a spokesperson for the local authority said: “The procurement for the design team is currently being progressed. A planning application will form part of the design team scope of works.
Most Popular
"The project will provide the reworking of one pitch as a floodlit 4G surface, realigning the other natural turf pitch to create the site footprint required to develop the community hub on the pavilion site, changing to service the pitches, including referee changing, multi-use main hall which can be subdivided and designed to accommodate meetings, family events/ birthday parties, a dedicated childcare space and storage (including outdoor space), two consultation rooms for one to one and outreach service delivery, a training and meeting room for up to 20 people, an informal drop-in meeting space, a community café/kitchen facility, adequate storage facilities and a retractable stage and seating.
"An estimated cost of £4,500,000 funded by the council. It should be noted that costs and the programme of works are indicative at this stage. The aim is to complete the project by 2025.”
Welcoming the development, Macedon UUP Cllr Robert Foster said: “I have continuously lobbied for a community facility in Rathcoole and I am absolutely delighted to see the tender for the consultant team to deliver a Community Pavilion and 3G pitch at the Diamond Rathcoole go out.
“Rathcoole has waited on a community hub for 70 long years and at last it is being delivered along with a 3G pitch.
“The proposals will go out to Community Consultation once they are ready and the community will have the input on what the scheme will deliver.”
The listing deadline is October 7.

Ultimate Team will be back in FIFA 23 and there are a few changes to look forward to when the new game is out this September. Ahead of the official launch, FUT fans can get started on their team and get to grips with the tweaks that are being rolled out.
The FIFA 23 Web App and the Companion App will allow players to tailor their team and get a feel for the game before firing up the console.
So, when are the Web App and Companion App being released, and what will you be able to do on them? GOAL brings you everything you need to know.
When is FIFA 23 Web App released?
The FIFA 23 Web App is set to be launched on Wednesday, September 21, 2022. That means Ultimate Team aficionados will be able to access it for just over a week before the full launch of the game.
The FUT 23 Companion App, which is available on iOS and Android devices, will launch the following day on Thursday, September 22, 2022.
How to get the FIFA 23 Web App
The FIFA 23 Web App can be accessed on your laptop, computer or similar device by going to the official EA Sports FIFA website on any internet browser.
It can also be downloaded for free on any iOS or Android mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. The process is very simple: just search for 'FIFA Companion App' on Google Play Store or the App Store.
If you already have the app on your phone or tablet, there is no need to download it again - the app will update automatically.
Just use your EA account to log in to the app. If you don't have one, you can create a profile.
What is the FIFA 23 Web App?
The FIFA Web App is an online application that allows people who play FIFA games - FIFA 23, FIFA 22 and so on - to edit their Ultimate Team club should they not have access to their Xbox or PlayStation console.
Users can manage their squads, buy packs in the store and monitor the transfer market via the Web App. It is also possible to engage in squad-building challenges.
However, it is not possible to play matches on FIFA through the Web App or the Companion App. Nevertheless, a bulk of the game mode's key administrative activities are accessible.
When is the official FIFA 23 release date?
The official release date of FIFA 23 worldwide is September 30, 2022. It will be available to play on Xbox and PlayStation devices as well as PC on that date.
Can I play FIFA 23 early?
Yes, it is possible to play FIFA 23 early - three days early.
Anyone who pre-orders FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition will be granted early access from September 27, 2022. Early access does not apply to those who pre-order the standard edition of FIFA 23.
EA Play members will also be able to play the game three days early. A standard EA Play membership will be rewarded with limited early access, with a 10-hour pre-trial, while EA Play Pro membership grants unlimited early access.

The House on Tuesday passed a bill eliminating the statute of limitations for victims of child sex abuse who seek to file civil claims, sending the measure to President Biden’s desk for final approval.
The chamber cleared the bill, titled the Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act, by voice vote, a strategy reserved for noncontroversial, popular measures. The Senate passed the legislation by unanimous consent in March.
The measure calls for removing the statute of limitations for minors filing civil claims relating to a number of sex abuse crimes, including forced labor, sex trafficking, sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children.
Under current law, minors who experience sexual abuse are able to file federal civil claims until they turn 28 years old, or until 10 years after the violation or injury is discovered. The bill Congress passed seeks to eliminate those time restraints.
There is no statute of limitations in place for criminal offenses involving child sex abuse.
During debate on the House floor Tuesday, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said survivors of child sex abuse often delay reporting their situations, which could put them at risk of not seeking damages because of the statute of limitations.
“Also common is delayed disclosure, with the tendency of survivors of child sexual abuse to wait many years before disclosing abuse to others,” Nadler said. “This is because survivors of sexual abuse often take a long time to process their trauma, and many survivors who were abused as a child may not even recognize the abuse they suffered until much later in life.”
“Unfortunately, because survivors of child sexual abuse often delay reporting, any statute of limitations may prevent survivors accessing justice and seeking damages in civil court,” he added.
The New York Democrat argued that statutes of limitations in place for civil claims of child sex abuse “can serve to protect abusers and enable them to continue to exploit their power by allowing victims’ claims to expire.”
“This bill will enable survivors who are victims of federal child sex abuse offenses, including aggravated sexual abuse, sex trafficking, human trafficking, forced labor, and sexual exploitation, to seek civil damages in federal court regardless of the amount of time that has passed since the abuse,” he added.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on the House floor Tuesday said the bill “would allow victims of human trafficking or sex offenses to seek civil remedies regardless of when the crime took place.”
