Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday introduced a bill that would ban abortions nationally after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The bill comes three months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion and marks the most serious effort by Republicans in Congress to pass a nationwide abortion restriction.
“I think we should have a law at the federal level that would say after 15 weeks, no abortion on demand except in cases of rape, incest and save the life of a mother. And that should be where America’s at,” Graham said during a press conference.
The proposal also comes just two months before the midterm elections. Republicans in battleground states are trying to navigate a growing voter backlash to the Supreme Court decision while also appealing to the party’s base that’s pushing for immediate action on imposing total abortion bans.
Graham nodded to the balancing act, indicating that a more extreme ban wouldn’t be popular with mainstream voters.
“We’re trying to take a position we think will rally the country to be more sympathetic to an unborn child,” Graham said.
But the bill would retain state laws that are more restrictive while replacing laws in blue states that protect abortion.
The legislation includes exceptions for incest and rape and to save the life of the mother if she is in danger from a physical condition. It also includes a potential five-year jail sentence for any provider who violates the ban.
Graham, who just last month said the Supreme Court made the correct decision by leaving abortion decisions up to states, on Tuesday said elected officials have the power to define and regulate abortion, including in Congress.
“Abortion is not banned in America. It’s left up to elected officials in America to define the issue. States have the ability to do it at state level. And we have the ability in Washington to speak on this issue if we choose,” Graham said. “I have chosen to speak.”
Graham said he was motivated to act following attempts by Democrats to enshrine abortion protections into federal law. He previously supported a 20-week abortion ban, but since the Supreme Court ruled that Mississippi’s 15-week ban was constitutional, he wanted to go further.
“After [Democrats] introduced a bill to define who they are, I thought it’d be nice to introduce a bill to define who we are,” Graham said.
The legislation has no chance of getting a vote while Democrats are in control of the Senate. Even if Republicans take control, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said he doesn’t intend to eliminate the filibuster to pass a national abortion ban, meaning the legislation would need 60 votes.
“We should have a law at the federal level,” Graham said during a briefing. “If we take the House and Senate, I can assure you we’ll have a vote.”
But Graham said he personally hasn’t had a conversation with McConnell about the bill and instead is leaving it up to the representatives of anti-abortion groups who joined him for the press conference, including Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has galvanized Democrats, giving them hope of stopping a red wave by tying Republicans to extreme abortion policies.
“Proposals like the one today send a clear message from MAGA Republicans to women across the country: your body, our choice,” Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday in a floor speech.
Graham said Republicans should go on offense and not be influenced by what Democrats might say.
“I think Republicans need to listen to this news conference and listen to these women [anti-abortion activists],” Graham told reporters. “We’re not gonna live in a world where … we retreat.”
In the House, where a group of more than 80 Republicans introduced a companion version of the bill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offered a similar message.
“The nationwide abortion ban proposal put forth today is the latest, clearest signal of extreme MAGA Republicans’ intent to criminalize women’s health freedom in all 50 states and arrest doctors for providing basic care,” Pelosi said in a statement.
“Make no mistake: if Republicans get the chance, they will work to pass laws even more draconian than this bill – just like the bans they have enacted in states like Texas, Mississippi and Oklahoma,” Pelosi said.

Whitney Hughes and Duka Cav’s marriage is set to take quite a surprising turn on Married At First Sight UK tonight.
The pair have gone through quite the rollercoaster ride, from Whitney making it clear at the altar that Duka didn’t meet her expectations, to losing her ring on honeymoon and rejecting a new one.
Speaking after their wedding ceremony, Whitney said she ‘wanted a man who’s towering over me like a brick house’, comparing poor Duka to a ‘shed’.
Not long later, at the commitment ceremony in front of the MAFS experts and their co-stars, Whitney, having already slammed Duka as ‘fake’ multiple times, said she would give it another week before making the all-important decision on whether their relationship would last.
And despite the tears, arguing, and eye-rolling, things seem to have changed.
‘I had a chat with Duka and I felt heard, he kind of showed a vulnerable side and I could understand where he was coming from in that moment,’ Whitney admitted to MAFS expert Mel Schilling.
She continued: ‘I feel like we’ve worked on communication I think, the little things that bug me I’m addressing them in that moment.’
‘Yeah, I think last week Whitney was in a position where she felt the whole world was against her,’ Duka added.
‘I sat down on this chair and saw Whitney walk off and come back on again, and I honestly felt powerless.’
Whitney added that the pair are having ‘more fun’ now, with Duka confirming: ‘We get one another. We find it fun.’
‘It’s a massive b****dy shift,’ Whitney added, unable to hide her smile and giggles.
However, while she may feel more comfortable, Whitney did admit that some of her barriers are still there.
This comes after emotional scenes on Monday’s episode, where Whitney and Duka sat down for an honest chat, with Duka quickly becoming tearful and offering his wife an apology.
‘Any bad feelings, anything I’ve said that’s put you on edge, I wholeheartedly apologise. I’ve wanted nothing but the best for you,’ Duka began.
‘I’m genuinely sorry,’ he confessed, before Whitney pulled out a notebook and started to read out everything she’s been bottling up.
‘I honestly felt like I was being attacked and ostracised by the group,’ she began, in reference to the commitment ceremony the previous night, which saw the two come to blows once again.
‘And the one person who’s spent more time with me than anyone else there didn’t stand up for me and say, hang on, that’s not who she is. You weren’t protecting me.’
She continued to tell Duka that she’s done ‘so much work’ to ‘put the fractured pieces of myself back together’, but she felt like she’d been ‘broken all the way back down again.’
Whitney proceeded to burst into tears, with a tearful Duka repeating his apology and admitting he wasn’t ‘strong enough’ to stand up for her the previous night.
‘I’ve got my own hurdles to get through, I’m not saying it’s just you who’s got issues to work through,’ assured Whitney, saying she wants to ‘move forwards’ and work on ‘rebuilding the trust’ in their marriage.
After previously accusing her husband of being ‘fake’, Whitney sweetly told him to ‘just be Duka.’ ‘You’re more than enough,’ she reassured, before they shared a cuddle and agreed to their ‘fresh start’.
Married At First Sight continues tonight at 9pm on E4.

At least four people were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly assaulting a police officer and setting a police vehicle on fire in Kolkata during the BJP's rally, an official said.
The arrests were made during night-long raids in Beliaghata, Topsia and Bowbazar areas, he said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Debajit Chattopadhyay was chased and assaulted with sticks by some people in the Bowbazar area during the BJP's 'March to Nabanna' rally on Tuesday.
A police vehicle was also torched near the Kolkata Police headquarters Lalbazar.

"The raids are still going on," said an officer of Kolkata Police on Wednesday afternoon.
The four arrested persons were identified from video clips of the two incidents, he said.
They have been booked under sections dealing with attempts to murder, destruction of government property and preventing public servants from performing duty, the officer said.
Chattopadhyay suffered multiple fractures and is at present undergoing treatment at a hospital, he said.
BJP's national vice-president Dilip Ghosh said the attacks were the handwork of TMC supporters who got into the rally.
"Our activists are being framed and false charges slapped against them," he alleged.
TMC MP Mahua Moitra said what if the West Bengal government follows the Uttar Pradesh "model" and "send bulldozers to homes of BJP workers who destroyed public property".

The release of Luminous Productions and Square Enix’s upcoming magical adventure Forspoken is finally on the horizon after being pushed back.
Forspoken follows the protagonist Frey Holland, who after having a tough time in New York City is transported to the world of Athia.
The majority of Athia’s inhabitants appear to have been affected by the Break, transforming all life into monstrous forms.
While doing battle with these corrupted lifeforms Frey will also battle the Tantas, who have also been taken over by the Break, transforming them into powerful sorceresses who rule over Athia.
Frey Holland will be partnered with a sentient bracelet called Cuff who will aid her on this journey while providing much of the game's witty banter.
Before its release next year, The Mirror was invited by Square Enix to play an early build of the game.
This early build took place in Avaolet, a vast region designed to show off the game's features.
Even though Avaolet isn’t actually a part of the real game it did demonstrate a lot of the gameplay elements that players should expect.
Avaolet’s open world was huge, filled with forts, islands, monstrous enemies, and more.
There was so much scattered across this region that showcased what can be experienced in Athia.
Exploration was fantastic with Frey’s parkour allowing her to scale large structures and reach new areas.
Avaolet allowed players to explore its world at their leisure, scanning the landscape for key locations and points of interest.
Hidden within Avaolet are locations that will allow Frey to fast travel and have a base where she can craft new items.
There were several dungeons and battle hotspots that offer different levels of challenges from defeating hordes of the Breakborn or vanquishing powerful bosses that roam the land.
Avaolet was only a small sample of what Forspoken has to offer and if it's a real representation of what players can experience in the full game then they are in for a wild ride.
Combat in Forspoke was one of the highlights during this early build, with Frey having access to a large number of magical skills.
She was able to showcase different magical styles that demonstrated her diverse skill set. Each of the magical abilities will be based on an element such as fire or earth.
They are then broken down into attack and support skills. What I did love is how each magical style catered to a different type of playstyle.
Frey’s base magic focused on projectile attacks with plants and ground attacks while switching to Sila’s fire-based magic allowed for powerful close combat skills.
Players will be able to switch between these magical skills on the fly and upgrade them via Frey’s skill tree.
The beauty of Forspoken’s combat is how open it is, allowing players to create their own combos and devise their own strategies with a diverse range of attacks.
For instance when using Sila’s fire magic, players can summon a Legion of soldiers to attack one set of enemies while she does extra damage with her Rage or Blast slice on the other.
What’s even more interesting is each attack will do something different depending on how long the attack button is pressed for granting more strategic options.
I am looking forward to seeing all the different types of magic Frey can learn and how they can be mixed and matched during battle. Especially the ultimate attacks and seeing how parkour plays a bigger role in combat.
During this early build, Avaolet featured a wide variety of enemies mixed with the Breakborn and Breakbeast.
The Breakborn came in an array of forms that enabled me to test out different combat strategies on them, especially when Frey had to liberate Fort Eminn.
That being said, the Breakbeast provided the biggest challenge as initially there wasn’t a feasible strategy to defeat them, which provided the best training for me to practice different combat strategies with Frey’s wide range of attacks.
The boss battles weren’t hugely impressive as they were mainly powered-up versions of the weaker enemies. It will be very interesting to see how the boss battles with the Tantas play out.
One of my highlights was the banter between Frey and Cuff which was funny and witty during each back and forth.
However, there was a lot of repetition in what was being said with Cuff cracking the same deadpan jokes or words of encouragement.
Seeing as this is an early build hopefully there will be less repetition as the writing was very entertaining when it was fresh.
Forspoken is shaping up to be a very intriguing game filled with enthralling combat in a captivating world.
From what I’ve played so far Forspoken looks to be on the right track to be a great game but will need a stellar story and entertaining cast of characters to set itself apart from other open-world games.
Forspoken is set to be released in 2023 on the PlayStation 5 and PC

Fred Franzia, the man behind “Two Buck Chuck” and other value-priced wines that revolutionized the industry, has died. He was 79.
Bronco Wine Company, the 49-year-old company he helped create with his brother and cousin, announced his death on Facebook, writing that it’s “truly saddened by the passing of its founder and CEO, Fred Franzia.” He passed away early Tuesday morning with his family by his side at his home in Denair, California, the company said.
Franzia championed affordable wine for the masses and frequently criticized his higher-priced competitors. “Who says we’re lower priced? We’re the best price. The others, I think, are overpriced,” Franzia told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2009.
Perhaps his most notable contribution to American culture is Charles Shaw, a.k.a. “Two Buck Chuck.” The wine, sold exclusively at Trader Joe’s since 2002, earned that nickname for its affordable price that undercuts its higher-priced competitors. “Take that and shove it, Napa,” he once said in an interview.
“Core to his vision was a belief that wine should be enjoyed and consumed on every American table,” Bronco’s statement said. “When asked how Bronco Wine Company can sell wine less expensive than a bottle of water, Fred T. Franzia famously countered, ‘They’re overcharging for the water — don’t you get it?’”
Bronco Wine is one of Ameria’s biggest wine companies, with a portfolio of more than 100 brands spanning from wine, spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails. Wine Spectator estimates that it’s the 13th largest wine marketer in the US, moving more than 3.4 million cases last year.
Notably, he never owned the boxed-wine brand that bares his family’s name. His parents sold the label in 1973 to Coca-Cola prompting him to start Bronco Wine. “My dad, he was not a fighter,” Franzia told the New Yorker in 2009. “He just folded. And he and I went through a period of no communication, I think for five years. I just was pissed.” (Franzia boxed wine is currently owned by the Wine Group.)
He’s survived by his five children, fourteen grandchildren and two sisters. In the statement, Bronco said that his “entrepreneurial spirit, tireless dedication, and his commitment to both his family and to the Bronco family will forever be remembered. His legacy will endure for generations to come.”

‘Share the Shoes’ Initiative Donates Footwear to 520 Children Around The City
Dallas Police Department and Energy Transfer worked together to distribute $10,000 worth
The Dallas Police Department and Energy Transfer joined forces for the sixth consecutive year to donate about $10,000 worth of shoes to more than 520 children across Dallas.
The initiative, known as “Share the Shoes,” was started by Officer Brian Nolff in 2017 after police on patrol consistently saw children out and about without proper footwear. This sparked the idea for the partnership with Energy Transfer. Now, the company hosts a donation drive each year for employees to collect shoes and then teams up with the police department to distribute them to children at schools and recreational centers across Dallas.
Now that Nolff is retired, Officer Mike Villanueva and Senior Cpl. Jose Gamez lead the initiative. Villanueva said that members of the Neighborhood Police Officers unit who work with the program get to see the children grow up each year.
“It’s important because it bridges the gap that we have with the police department and our community,” Villanueva said. “One of the things we do in the NPO unit is we spend a lot of time with the community — coming together to work together to make a safer neighborhood for them.”
For Gamez, his Dallas upbringing included police officers leading him in a positive direction. He wants to reciprocate that for current youth by giving them shoes they’ll need and enjoy leading up to the school year.
“Seeing that relationship I had with neighborhood police officers and becoming the person I became now, I want to make sure I do the same thing to pass on the message to these kids,” Gamez said.
Lisa Coleman, Energy Transfer’s public relations and communications supervisor, also volunteers with the program. She said Energy Transfer is proud to support initiatives that benefit the community and help officers build relationships.
“It’s very meaningful to hear the first-hand stories from these officers who witness the disparities that exist in our Dallas neighborhoods and are inspired to make a difference,” Coleman said. “We are very grateful for the selfless and often dangerous work that our police officers do, and we’re proud to continue our relationship with the Dallas Police Department.”
The shoes left over from the distributions will be saved by the police department to give to families in need they meet during patrols and calls.

A woman was arrested for allegedly strangling her mother to death in their Staten Island home.
Authorities say that at 11:59 a.m. on Sept. 10, police responded to a 911 call regarding an unconscious woman inside 43 Ramapo Avenue. Upon their arrival, officers found 74-year-old Sherylyn Bailey unconscious in the home.
Paramedics rushed to the location and declared Bailey dead at the scene. Her death was later ruled a homicide due to strangulation on Sept. 13.
Bailey’s daughter, 40-year-old Mauri Belarmino, was arrested in connection to Bailey’s death. Police say that Belarmino and Bailey allegedly had a dispute prior to Bailey’s death, which then led to the strangulation.
Belarmino was charged with murder and strangulation.

Fall's dazzling colors will soon transform woods and forests around the U.S., delighting spectators — if they can figure out when to see the fall foliage at the peak of their transformation.
A nationwide map of foliage patterns is here to help, offering a best-guess guide to when aspen, birch, larch and maple trees will turn vivid shades of gold, orange and crimson.
The forecast produced by the Smoky Mountains website predicts much of the U.S. will start seeing the most dramatic colors by late September to mid-October. But fall foliage can be very tricky to predict, especially as climate change brings warmer temperatures and disrupts historic rainfall patterns.
The timing comes down to several weather factors
Areas where warm temperatures persist can see fall colors arrive later than normal, especially if they've had near-average amounts of rainfall. And right now, the U.S. is coming off its third-hottest summer on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Dry conditions are another factor. In areas where rainfall has been scarce, leaves could start changing color early this year, and their effect might be less vibrant.
The U.S. Drought Map currently shows large sections of central and western states are experiencing moderate to exceptional drought. Much of the eastern U.S. is in better shape, but portions of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, from Maryland up to Maine, are experiencing abnormally dry or drought conditions.
"We see a forest that is healthy in the far north but increasingly stressed by heat and drought in the south and near the coast," Yankee magazine says in its report on the New England region.
The folks behind the Smoky Mountains' map acknowledge that like any forecast, theirs might not prove to be 100% accurate for every area. But they say their map is based on a complex algorithm that generates a strong prediction.
"Our model ingests multiple data points including NOAA precipitation forecasts, historical precipitation, average daylight exposure and temperature forecasts," Smoky Mountains founder and map creator David Angotti told NPR. "We process hundreds of thousands of data points from a variety of private and government sources to accurately predict the precise moment fall will occur for the entire United States."
The best conditions: cool nights and sunny days
"Sunny, but not hot, days and cooler nights provide the optimal conditions for fall foliage, with the lower temperatures slowing the production of chlorophyll — the pigment that gives plants their green color — and sunlight increasing sugar production," according to North Carolina State University's College of Natural Resources.
Dry conditions in parts of the Northeast have experts warning that people may need to temper their expectations for the fall show.
"The timing might not be the same, the colors might be a little bit more muted and not as beautiful and robust as we usually get to experience here in New England," as Nicole Keleher, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's forest health program director, told NPR member station WBUR.
Some areas could be helped by more rainfall — as long as it doesn't come with strong storm winds that knock leaves down.
"When there is more rain, the colors pop even more," the National Parks Service says, adding, "When there is a cool fall, the red maple leaves appear brighter as well."
When chlorophyll steps aside, other pigments shine
"Carotenoids are where we're going to get that yellow and orange color," as botanist and plant ecologist Tanisha Williams of Bucknell University told NPR in 2020. "So as the green pigment starts to break down, we see this yellow and orange color."
As trees prepare to conserve their energy for the following spring, some of them also produce another pigment, anthocyanin, that brings striking red and purple colors.
"The falling of the leaves and the changing of the colors are all in preparation for the tree to hunker down and basically hibernate in the wintertime," Williams said.

Why Real Madrid star Toni Kroos told David Alaba ‘we’re already losing 2-0’ before kick-off against Celtic
REAL MADRID star Toni Kroos told team-mate David Alaba they were "already losing 2-0" to Celtic before kick-off because of the "insane" atmosphere inside the Scottish champions' lair.
The last time Celtic reached the Champions League group stages was the 2017/18 season, where they welcomed Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain to Celtic Park.
And upon their return to Europe's top competition, having spent the last four years crashing out in the qualifiers, they were drawn in the same group as the reigning champions Real.
In typical Celtic fashion, the ground was bouncing last week, leaving Real midfielder Kroos, 32, fearing "the stadium was going to collapse".
The deafening atmosphere as the Champions League anthem played also forced the 2014 World Cup winner to warn team-mate Alaba "we are already losing 2-0" ahead of kick-off.
He said, as translated by El Espanol: “I was being asked several times which (away) stadium is my favourite.
"And there is a new number one, I can tell you! Celtic Park. It has been just crazy! We came out, and the atmosphere was good.
“The Champions League anthem started, and I thought the stadium was going to collapse.
"Unbelievable, I had never experienced anything like that.
“After the game, everyone applauded. Totally Celtic, of course, but nothing hostile or disrespectful. That was very, very, impressive.”

The ex-German international continued: "When we lined up for the team picture, I told David Alaba that it feels like we are already 0-2 down. Just insane!”
Celtic's crowd roared them on for 56 minutes before Real finally found a breakthrough.
Brazil star Vinicius Jr opened the scoring for the visitors.
Veteran midfielder Luka Modric notched a world class second, and forgotten man Eden Hazard got the third to put the final nail in Celtic's coffin to claim a 3-0 victory.
And the highly complimentary Kroos picked up the Player of the Match award.
Celtic are back in action in the Champions League on Wednesday.
They face Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw, Poland, inside the Stadion Wojska Polskiego.

Megan McCain has responded to comments made by Sherri Shepherd to Andy Cohen.
Shepherd is currently promoting her new daytime chat show, Sherri. This led to an appearance earlier this week on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Cohen asked her who she felt closest to from her days as a host on The View. Shepherd said she considered all her colleagues friends and stayed in touch with “Everybody… not Meghan, but everybody else.”
Related: Meghan McCain uses gay best friend to show that, contrary to popular belief, she DOES have friends
Cohen then spoke with McCain, 37, yesterday on his SiriusXM show. Never one to avoid stirring the pot, the gay chat show host asked McCain what she made of Shepherd’s comments.
“I don’t know Sherri Shepherd. She was on the show like 15 years before me, when I was in high school, so I don’t know why anyone is under the impression that we’re close friends,” she responded.
“I think she has a new show coming out. She’s looking for publicity. A really easy way to get publicity is to try and fight with me.”
Suggesting that spats with Shepherd were beneath her, McCain added, “I tend to fight more these days with people like Kari Lake. We’re talking about people that are running for governor of Arizona.”
She continued, “The thing that makes me the most sad about it is [that] The View is really hard and I think anyone who’s done it knows how hard it is. There’s also this toxic mean girl reputation that’s not only with The View, but in daytime talk in general and I wish we would all just stop. There’s no need to be nasty.”
“A really mean, nasty thing”
She said Shepherd had criticized her “multiple times” on The View and she doesn’t “understand it.”
“I don’t know why anyone would be under the impression I’m close friends with her, obviously we are not and I’m not up in my feelings about it. I never think about her at all,” McCain said.
“It just seems like a really mean, nasty thing to do in a very strange way to start your new talk show that’s supposed to be light and positive for women to like trash someone and I know what she’s doing. I mean, we’re all smart. She’s like, throwing shade and making it a point to say like, ‘All the alumni at The View get along and braid each other’s hair and go to sleepovers except Meghan.’”
Related: ‘And Just Like That’ stars respond to Meghan McCain’s damning review
McCain is not known to be close to many of her former View co-hosts. The only one she has really spoken about with affection is Sunny Hostin.
On an appearance on the Reality with the King podcast, McCain said, “Sunny is one of the greatest TV presences in all of television. I keep telling her she should have her own show. I don’t know why MSNBC isn’t trying to poach her for Rachel Maddow‘s spot.”

Our weekly digest on buying, selling, and design, with expert advice and insider neighborhood knowledge.
While the spring housing market tends to be the busiest, after Labor Day there is an uptick in home purchases in most markets. With that in mind, there are some things a buyer should look out for, beyond the ZIP code and curb appeal.
While not an exhaustive list, we at Charlie Allen Renovations feel the following items are among the more important things to consider before making an offer:
· Check the electrical panel to make sure it is up to date with circuit breakers, not fuses. Fewer and fewer houses have fuses anymore, but we still see them.
· Check the receptacles in the house to make sure they are three-prong grounded.
· Exterior, kitchen, and bath receptacles should be GFCI, or ground-fault circuit interrupter, protected.
· It would take a service tech to do a full analysis of your heating system, but look for any evidence of corrosion around the pipe connections, which could indicate a slow leak that could lead to larger repairs if not addressed.
· If the house is heated with forced hot air, it is easy to see whether the trunks and metal ducting are insulated and the joints are sealed. If they are not, this will drastically reduce the efficiency of the system.
· Similarly, check pipe connections under sinks for evidence of leaking or corrosion.
· If possible, take a look in the attic to see how well it is insulated and to check for signs of water leaks on the wood framing or roof sheathing.
· Look for bubbling paint on the home’s siding and trim unless the house is clad in vinyl. Bubbling paint can mean a few things but can be associated with a leak from above.
· From the ground (maybe with binoculars), examine the roof shingles to see whether they are broken, curled, or missing. These are signs that the roof is nearing the end of its life. While you’re at it, check the chimney for missing bricks or large gaps where the mortar is missing.
· Take a close look in the basement for signs of flooding. Is there a sump pump to handle water? Look at any wood walls or stair framing for water stains. Use a flashlight to peer into the corners, where the concrete could still be stained. A leaky basement typically has a musty smell that is hard to eliminate.
· Look for rodent droppings in corners, especially in the basement, although they can also be found in the attic.
· Termite mud tubes can be spotted in the basement sometimes, typically up where the house meets the foundation. They are pretty easy to spot.
· Something trickier to spot is frass, which is pest excrement. Look for spider webs up in the wood framing, mainly around the perimeter of the house. If there is a lot of sawdust trapped in the old cobwebs, that can be a sign of carpenter ants or termites. Spiders build their webs near the food source (the ants and termites), and thus the sawdust they create gets stuck in the webs.
· Asbestos was used to insulate pipes and heating ducts up until the 1960s. We still see it fairly often. It is a white-gray fibrous wrap found around heat pipes and old air ducts. This should be removed prior to the sale, but that doesn’t always happen. Asbestos insulation is the worst type to have to deal with and should be removed only by a licensed abatement company.
· There are a lot of homes with the old asbestos cement siding, which is common in post-World War II homes. It usually has a wavy bottom pattern. This can stay on a house, as there is very little asbestos in it, and if left alone and painted, it will last forever.
· Asbestos floor tile is still found in quite a few homes but, more likely than not, will show up only during a remodel when the current floor that was installed over it is removed. It will almost always have black adhesive on the back. The tile should be removed only by a licensed professional.

Every season, the revealing of the FIFA video game ratings causes endless debates among the fans, with players occasionally entering the discussion.
For their part, four Juventus stars had their ratings handed to them by the famous Gli Autogol group.
Moise Kean (78) appeared slightly disappointed, especially with his speed stat. Wojciech Szczesny (86) had the highest rating of the bunch without even realizing it, while Dusan Vlahovic (84) and Manuel Locatelli (82) appeared to be content but not exactly thrilled with their grades.

Mission-driven organizations and nonprofit professionals from across North America were celebrated at the hybrid Raise 2022 conference
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OneCause, a leader in online and event fundraising, recognized fundraising innovation and excellence at its annual Raise Awards ceremony during the Raise 2022 hybrid conference in Chicago, Illinois. Nearly 1,000 nonprofit fundraising professionals came together in person and virtually September 12-13 to learn innovative fundraising strategies from industry experts, connect with fellow fundraisers, and share their knowledge with the nonprofit community.
"Celebrating the innovation, commitment, and ingenuity of nonprofit professionals and organizations is what the Raise Awards are all about," said Steve Johns, chief executive officer for OneCause. "Putting the spotlight on those working tirelessly to make the world a better place recognizes the hard work and impact of industry-leading fundraisers and their causes."
For five years, the Raise Awards have put the spotlight on nonprofits and fundraising professionals who are shaping the future of fundraising. This year's winners include a diverse array of mission-driven organizations, from local organizations creating change in their communities to large nonprofits with international recognition.
Innovative Nonprofit of the Year
The Innovative Nonprofit of the Year Award recognizes two organizations that uniquely push themselves, inspire others, and consistently reach new heights by implementing new ideas.
- Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry addressed the growing needs for community services due to COVID-19 by committing to significantly expanding its individual giving program and engaging a local foundation, requesting a three-part challenge grant. They raised 290% more during a 3-month period compared to the same timeframe a year earlier. This result was 290% higher than in the same 3-month period a year earlier.
- Leukemia & Lymphoma Society responded to the challenging times propelled by the pandemic by quickly pivoting to develop two national virtual fundraising campaigns. Each of these surpassed targets and reached new audiences. In 2021, LLS provided more than 42,000 patients with over $241 million in total grants, a 70% increase from 2020.
Storyteller of the Year
The Storyteller of the Year Award recognizes two organizations for excellence in communicating their purpose through branding, narrative, and promotion that inform the mind and move the heart.
- Comfort Cases' story is most often told by its founder, Rob Scheer, who openly shares his own journey in foster care. With more than 250,000 followers on their social media platforms, and as host of Fostering Change, ranked for the second consecutive year as the #1-rated podcast related to issues regarding foster care and adoption, Comfort Cases furthers its mission of inspiring communities to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care. Since its founding 10 years ago, Comfort Cases has given out more than 185,000 comfort cases filled with essential items to use in each of the 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom.
- Community Living works to enrich the lives of people with disabilities so they can achieve their highest potential by providing children and adults with services and programs that allow them to live, learn, and work in the community. Their stories aren't about nameless faces, they're about Tyler who was named homecoming king, and Karen who was laid off during the pandemic but is thriving in her new job and just bought a new car. Their storytelling engaged donors, resulting in a 60% fundraising lift compared to the previous year and growing annual recurring gifts by up to 15% and witnessing the frequency of giving literally double.
Fundraisers of the Year
The Fundraiser of the Year Award recognizes three nonprofit professionals whose leadership, success, and passion for their mission stand out among their peers.
- Jane Kobak, Associate Director of Major Giving for Opportunity Enterprises: Jane is a true leader and develops strong relationships with staff, board members, clients, and the community. As a result of her dedication, Opportunity Enterprises exceeded their annual revenue budget by over 60% in the recent fiscal year.
- Jennifer Berger, Director of Development for Rubicon Programs: Jennifer never settles for average. At times, gifts have come unsolicited – without a grant application or specific ask – because donors were so impressed by Jennifer and her passion for Rubicon's work. Rubicon hit their annual fundraising goal in under six months, thanks in large part to Jennifer's leadership.
- Megan Carfa, Operations and Development Director for Junior Players: Megan not only talks the talk, she walks the walk. She never asks anyone to do anything she won't do herself. She truly inspires everyone around her to take initiative and step up. In 5 short years, Megan's work has expanded their programs tenfold and has contributed to an increase of Junior Players' North Texas Giving Day goal every year— raising 150% of their goal in 2021.
Raise Awards winners were selected by a committee of peer nonprofit professionals and industry experts looking for a focus on specific achievements, campaigns, and events from the last 12 months. In addition to the award recognition, winners receive a cash donation to their mission on behalf of OneCause.

Nintendo’s strategy also includes the premiere of the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3.
The last Nintendo Direct has left us with a good handful of reasons to expect a great winter with Nintendo Switch. One of the many announcements of the Japanese company refers to the arrival of several games of Resident Evil to the hybrid, which will allow us to enjoy the survival horror of the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, as well as Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 8: Village with cloud versions.
The cloud version of Resident Evil Village will be released on Nintendo Switch on October 28Starting with the closest project in time, the Nintendo event has confirmed the release of Resident Evil 8: Village for the next October 28which will be accompanied by a Winters Expansion dated for the December 2. In addition, from the Big N they also invite us to experience the ‘Cloud Version’ through a demo which can be downloaded right now from the eShop.
And what else can we expect from this collaboration between the Capcom and Nintendo saga? Apparently, Nintendo Switch users will be able to entertain themselves in 2022 with the cloud versions of Resident Evil 7 and the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Although the Nintendo Direct has not detailed a release date for these projects, since the Big N assures that they will be available sometime this year.
Leaving aside the Resident Evil saga, it is important to note that this Nintendo Direct has also shared news related to other franchises beloved by gamers. We are talking about surprises such as the brief presentation of Pikmin 4, an unpublished gameplay of Bayonetta 3 or the preview of the new Zelda, which already has an official title.

NEW YORK (AP) — A compilation of radio commentary by the late Rush Limbaugh, from his early years on the air to his decades as a bombastic and influential voice in conservative politics, will be published Oct. 25.
Threshold Editions, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Wednesday that “Radio’s Greatest of All Time” will include contributions from former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The book was curated in part by Limbaugh’s widow, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, and his brother, David Limbaugh.
“This book is written in appreciation of the millions of listeners who Rush considered to be his extended family and ‘the greatest audience in the world,'” Threshold’s announcement reads in part.
Limbaugh died of lung cancer in 2021 at age 70. In his lifetime, he published the bestsellers “The Way Things Ought to Be” and “See, I Told You So.”

BENSALEM, Pa., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that investors with substantial losses have opportunity to lead the securities fraud class action lawsuit against Dingdong (Cayman) Limited ("Dingdong" or the "Company") (NYSE: DDL).
Class Period: June 2021 IPO
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 24, 2022
Investors suffering losses on their Dingdong investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
The complaint filed alleges that Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Dingdong was actively flouting its food safety responsibilities, failing to deliver on its stated commitment to provide "fresh" groceries to customers historically disserved by supermarkets, traditional Chinese wet markets, or traditional e-commerce platforms; (2) Dingdong's quality control measures, which were so heavily touted in the Registration Statement, were, in fact, inadequate, exposing Dingdong to an increased risk of regulatory and/or governmental scrutiny and enforcement; and (3) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to the pending class action lawsuit, please contact Howard G.

The foreboding words "stock market crash" began trending on Twitter early Wednesday morning leading to concern among people that a sudden recession was impending.
On Tuesday, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ opened and closed lower than it had in a week. The sudden drop led to some concerns from people that the market was headed toward a crash.
"The Nasdaq fell so much today that it is back to the level it was last Wednesday. #stockmarketcrash," Matt Stoller wrote on Twitter.
"U.S stock market in free fall as investors panic. Worst day on Wall St since the 'Covid Crash of 2020'," a Twitter user wrote.

Other people criticized President Joe Biden for celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act while the markets were seemingly free-falling.
"Sure glad Biden’s passed the inflation reduction act Today’s stock market crash showed how much confidence we have in it working," Jake Shields tweeted.
But the reality of the panic was a result of fear-mongering, according to other Twitter users.
\u201cIf you're wondering about the #stockmarketcrash "trend", you might be interested to note that in the past 24 hours, it's ~2,350 tweets from ~1,700 accounts. \n\nIt's a junk trend that's also been jumped on by Trump/Q merchants.\n\nThese are the two most retweeted accounts.\n\n1/2\u201d— Botvolution (@Botvolution) 1663144204
One person pointed out that the stock market has been growing since 2020 when it experienced a crash due to the pandemic. Although there have been dips, it is still on the rise.
\u201cHere are 2 unfortunate facts for Trump supporters using the hashtag #stockmarketcrash:\n\n1. The stock market dropped 25% in March 2020\u2026 under a President named Donald J. Trump\n\n2. The stock market is currently still 16.5% higher than it ever was during Trump\u2019s administration\u201d— Dice \ud83c\udfb2 \ud83c\udf3b (@Dice \ud83c\udfb2 \ud83c\udf3b) 1663151165
Another person reminded people that markets traditionally dip in September.
"Over the past 25 years, the S&P 500 has averaged a loss of 0.7% in September, according to data compiled by Bloomberg," an article forBloomberg says.
The September slump is believed to be correlated to a change in behavior due to seasonal change, reassessing portfolios and corporate budgets after the summer, and more.
\u201cHow can you tell it's September without telling people that it's September? #stockmarketcrash #StockMarket\u201d— Pucci Mon (@Pucci Mon) 1663098067
Although the words "stock market crash" can be attributed to any dip in the stock market, most economists agree a true crash is a sudden double-digits drop that leads to a market-wide decline.

Students travelling to schools in Mitchelstown on Tuesday morning were asked to get off their school bus after an inspector boarded the bus.
Dozens of students were asked to disembark the school bus in Kildorrery and parents had to make last-minute arrangement to get their children to school. The majority of the students were travelling to Mitchelstown from the surrounding areas of Shanballymore, Glenville, Glanworth and Kildorrery.
North Cork County Councillor Frank O'Flynn said it is the latest "big issue" arising from the free school transport scheme introduced by the government earlier this year, which was supposed to ease transport costs but the demand has instead has left many children without a seat to school.
And now, local representatives have said that even in rural areas where there are "ample" spare seats on school buses, the backlog facing the free school transport scheme means that some students are still without a bus pass.
Cllr O'Flynn said: "We have up to 25 students from the surrounding areas who still have no ticket, and yesterday morning some students were asked to get off the bus and they were left there,
"Parents dropped them, went away thinking they'd be on the bus, then they get phone calls from the children, somewhere at work," he said, speaking to Patricia Messinger on C103's Cork Today Show,
"They'd to organise neighbours, friends to take those children to Mitchelstown to school, and then organise transport to bring them back home again,
"It's not good enough, there were free seats on the bus."
It's not the first time students who missed out on a bus ticket were told to get off the school bus. Just two weeks ago, a number of West Cork students were in a similar situation in Bandon and Kinsale.
Students who boarded the bus after school were asked to leave the bus, despite travelling on the bus to school that morning, because they didn't have a "valid ticket."
West Cork Independent Declan Hurley said there is "ample" space for students on school buses in his constituency and said he knows of students who need the seats.
He said there are over 20 students in one village who have been "refused" tickets "because of where they're living."
Mr Hurley said that they haven't been eligible for a bus ticket as "the school that they're going to isn't identified on the route as their closest school. These 22 students have no bus to school."
He spoke of one family who have three children going to the same school. Two have bus passes and the third doesn't.
"They're still waiting, hoping they're going to get it," Mr Hurley said, "and that parent... has to sit into the car and follow the bus to the school with their third kid,
"It makes no sense whatsoever."
Tanaiste Leo Varadkar admitted this week the the removing of school transport fees was the "wrong decision" as local representatives continue to be inundated with calls from parents whose children are yet to be given a place on the local school bus.
Sinn Fein Representative for Cork East, Mandy O’Leary Hegarty, said several families have been "locked out of the school transport scheme."
She told CorkBeo that she has been contacted by parents who were told that their child will not have a school bus place this year and "others still haven’t been told if their child has a place or not,
"It’s a source of massive stress. Families have been badly let down by the government’s failure to recognise the level of demand and to invest in the additional bus capacity needed to ensure that no child is left behind.
"School transport should be free but you only feel the benefit if your child actually has a seat on the bus. The lack of capacity means that children are locked out of the scheme."
Bus Éireann operates the school transport scheme on behalf of the Department of Education.
A spokesperson for Bus Eireann said: "For evident safety reasons, only students with a valid ticket are permitted to travel on school transport services. Places on board are allocated to students following the eligibility criteria of the school transport scheme...
"There has been an unprecedented demand for the school transport scheme this year. To date, Bus Éireann school transport offices across Ireland have issued 124,000 tickets for mainstream school transport.
"In County Cork, Bus Éireann has to date issued more than 15,200 tickets, an increase of 6% on last year’s figures.
"The normal eligibility criteria of the school transport scheme still apply. Pupils at primary level are eligible where they live no less than 3.2 kilometres from and are attending their nearest primary school. At post-primary level students who live no less than 4.8 kilometres from and are attending their nearest post primary school/education centre are deemed eligible.
"Any pupils/students who do not meet these criteria are deemed not eligible... and are allocated a ticket based on the availability of a seat on when all eligible children have been catered for."

President Joe Biden spoke with King Charles III on Wednesday for the first time since Queen Elizabeth II’s death last week.
The call came before Biden leads a U.S. delegation to London next week for the queen’s funeral.
“The President recalled fondly the Queen’s kindness and hospitality, including when she hosted him and the First Lady at Windsor Castle last June,” the White House said in a statement.” He also conveyed the great admiration of the American people for the Queen, whose dignity and constancy deepened the enduring friendship and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. President Biden conveyed his wish to continue a close relationship with the King.”
Charles, Elizabeth and Biden were among dignitaries who met at a G7 reception in June 2021.
In November, Biden met with Charles in person at the COP26 Climate Summit.
“President Biden and Prince Charles discussed the importance of global cooperation in tackling climate change,” a White House official said about the meeting. “They underlined the need for ambitious commitments and concrete actions among partners worldwide and discussed Prince Charles’ initiatives to engage the private sector on sustainability. President Biden reaffirmed the strength of the enduring ties between the United Kingdom and the United States, and he thanked the United Kingdom for hosting COP26.
“He commended the Royal Family for its dedication to climate issues, particularly Prince Charles’ environmental activism over the last half-century.”

Income inequality in the U.S. increased last year for the first time in more than a decade, but childhood poverty was cut almost in half due to expansion of the federal government’s child tax credit and stimulus payments made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new survey results released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The income inequality index increased 1.2% from 2020 to 2021, the first time the measurement known as the Gini Index has increased since 2011, according to a report on Current Population Survey results.
Declines in household income among the poorest U.S. residents appears to have driven the widening of the income inequality gap. Households in the 90th percentile of the income distribution, the richest, had income that was 13.5 times higher than households in the 10th percentile, the poorest. That was a 4.9% increase from 2020.
“It is sensitive to extremes at either end,” said Liana Fox, a Census Bureau official. “This suggests that the decline in real income at the bottom drove the increase in the Gini index.”
For the most part, there was little year-to-year change in median household income based on demographic traits like race or ethnic background.
However, people in households headed by someone age 65 or older, those with only some college education and households where family members didn’t live together saw dips in their income from 2020 to 2021. Among the reasons was that the fixed income that many seniors are on didn’t keep pace with rising inflation in 2021, and many of the “nonfamily” households were headed by women whose income lagged those headed by men.
Households headed by people with at least a college degree saw bumps in overall income last year.
Broken down by race and ethnic background, Asian households in 2021 had the highest median income at $101,418, followed by non-Hispanic whites at $77,999 and Hispanics at $57,981. Black households had median income of $48,297.
Median incomes were highest in the West at $79,430 and the Northeast at $77,472, followed by the Midwest $71,129 and the South at $63,368.
The time period in the latest Current Population Survey covered the third round of pandemic-related stimulus payments and expansions to the Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child and Dependent Care Credit. The time period in the survey also saw a 4.7% increase in consumer prices, the largest annual increase in the cost-of-living adjustment since 1990.
The expansion of the Child Tax Credit helped reduce childhood poverty, as measured by the bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure, from 9.7% in 2020 to 5.2% last year. It is the lowest since the new measure was implemented in 2009.
“The new data show the significant impact the expansion of anti-poverty programs during the COVID-19 pandemic had on reducing child poverty,” the Census Bureau said in a report.
The pandemic-related stimulus also helped the overall population.
The Census Bureau calculates poverty in two ways — the “official” poverty rate and the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which incorporates government programs designed to help low-income families. The official poverty rate last year was 11.6%, or 37.9 million people, and it wasn’t statistically different from what it was in 2020. The Supplemental Poverty Measure last year was 7.8%, a drop of 1.4 percentage points from 2020 and the lowest in the dozen years that it has been calculated.
The differences between the two rates is attributable to the pandemic assistance from the federal government, with refundable tax credit expansions keeping 9.6 million people out of poverty and stimulus payments doing the same for 8.9 million people, the Census Bureau report said.

This year's award expands to residents of the US, UK, Mexico, and Canada where one winner from each region will receive a Leica SL2-S camera set and $10,000 USD
TEANECK, N.J., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leica Camera announces the fourth annual call for entries to its Leica Women Foto Project Award in partnership with Photoville, and Women Photograph. The brand's initiative to promote diversity in photography expands to new regions across the globe. Leica Camera will accept entries from the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada (excluding Québec) in addition to the United States. One winner from each region will be awarded a Leica SL2-S camera, a Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH. Lens, and cash prize of $10,000 USD. Applicants are requested to submit a photo story made with any camera (owning a Leica is not required) that bears witness to humanity as expressed through the female perspective. Submissions will be selected by a diverse group of jurors renowned in the world of photography. The growth of the award serves to expand the possibilities of female stories that can be told and cultures that can be explored through the art of photography.
Since its inception in 2019, the Leica Women Foto Project serves as a platform to cultivate a diverse and inclusive community through photography. Its mission is to encourage photographers to demonstrate the importance and impact of a woman's point of view. To date, the initiative has fueled diversity in visual storytelling through grants and sponsorships with Women Photograph, Photoville, Las Fotos Project, and the ConnectHer Film Festival while co-creating the Leica Women Foto Project Grant for the International Leica Society's own philanthropic efforts. This Spring, the initiative will amplify the female perspective through a feature at Photoville in New York with additional programs to be launched through the year.
"Photography has the power to give reason for hope: Don't look the other way, shake things up, express and advocate for change – the connection to humanity and our responsibility to bear witness to its moments is at the heart of Leica's culture - from the Leica Oskar Barnack Award to the Leica Women Foto Project Award. With these initiatives, we recognize and celebrate the courageous photographers and the stories they express through their unique lens" states Art Director for Leica Galleries Worldwide and LWFP Juror, Karin Rehn-Kaufmann.
"The Leica Women Foto Project aims to illuminate underrepresented visual storytellers through programs and resources that foster the development and amplification of the female perspective," says Kiran Karnani, VP of Marketing for Leica Camera USA. "With the Leica Women Foto Project Award expanding to new regions, we underscore our commitment to the narratives shaped by multicultural perspectives while bearing witness to the moments that impact how we see and interact with our world. We hope that this expansion allows for even more dynamic and nuanced storytelling through the female gaze."
Leica Women Foto Project Award recipients will be determined by a panel of notable judges based on quality of photography, sophistication of project and a dedication to the medium of photography.
The 2023 panel of judges is composed of:
- Karin Rehn-Kaufmann, Art Director, Leica Galleries Worldwide

- Amanda de Cadenet, Photographer, Author and Media Personality

Construction of a new roadway through the Staunton Crossing development site is scheduled to begin Thursday.
The 0.85-mile project extends Crossing Way from Richmond Avenue (Route 250) north to Valley Center Drive in the city of Staunton. The majority of construction takes place away from existing roadways, but motorists need to be alert for construction equipment entering and exiting the site.
Crossing Way will provide a new connection between Richmond Avenue and North Frontier Drive. It will be three lanes wide, including a single through-lane in each direction and a center turn lane. There will be a 10-foot shared use path along the roadway. The project also includes a 100-space park-and-ride lot with a new transit facility.
In July, VDOT awarded an $8,147,230.74 contract to Caton Construction Group Inc. of Charlottesville. The Staunton Crossing project received $6,807,589 in SMART SCALE funding from an application submitted by the City of Staunton.

DUBAI: Following on from the much-lauded opening of The House Hotel Old Tbilisi in July this year, mixed-use ESG-focused lifestyle operator Kerten Hospitality is ramping up development, with more than 40 purpose-driven projects across 12 brand concepts in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and the CIS region.
Between now and the end of 2022, Kerten Hospitality will open one new concept a month, a robust pipeline-with-a-purpose that puts the brand’s strong commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and responsible community-based business practices in the spotlight, with every opening aiming to have a long-term positive impact on the community in which it operates. Upcoming openings include hotels in Rome, Kuwait and AlUla which will be closely followed by a new opening in Marrakech later this year.
The brand’s mixed-use developments focus on connecting travellers and residents, with collaborations and own-brand projects in the food and beverage, entertainment, art and wellness spheres. More than simply opening a hotel or restaurant, Kerten Hospitality builds community-centric destinations and ecosystems where business and leisure combine to create vibrant mini-economies.
Marloes Knippenberg, Chief Executive Office of Kerten Hospitality, believes that the brand’s active development pipeline will bring benefits to both guests and investors.
“As we ramp up our developments, we’re creating jobs in each destination we enter, proactively hiring locally and creating opportunities for those looking for career development. We’re also supporting businesses by purchasing locally wherever possible,” she says. “More developers are seeking to connect with operators to look jointly at creating something that brings not only a long-term ROI, but that also connects to the neighbourhood through mixed-use projects that drive year-round footfall. At Kerten Hospitality, we’re in the perfect position to drive forward more of these projects with a purpose.”
A collection of ESG-focused hospitality brands
Kerten Hospitality’s diverse range of brands currently includes:
- The House Hotels – The House Hotel are laid-back luxury properties in prime locations that marry cultural elements with classic and contemporary styles, offering tailored destination experiences that connect to the community. Currently open are The House Hotel City Yard Jeddah, an energetic and stylishly designed lifestyle hotel connected to some of the city’s most exciting food and beverage concepts, and The House Hotel Old Tbilisi, a restored traditional merchant’s house in the Georgian capital’s historical heart, with hand-painted murals by Musya Qeburia in each of the rooms. Upcoming projects are well underway in Egypt, Kuwait and Turkey.
- Cloud 7 Hotels – A young-at-heart lifestyle brand, Cloud7 focuses on punchy, colourful design, and shakes up the concept of what it means to be a hotel. Deskless check-in, lobbies that function as social hubs, healthy grab-and-go food, and boutiques selling locally made products are all part of what makes Cloud7 much more than just another mid-scale hotel. Currently operating in Ayla Aqaba in Jordan, and StaySO by Cloud7 in Istanbul’s Bomonti neighbourhood, with upcoming projects in prime locations in Egypt, Italy, Jordan and the UAE.
- The House and Cloud7 Residences – Both The House and Cloud7 brands incorporate residences and serviced apartments for short- or long-term stays, connecting guests to the local community with communal spaces, brand collaborations and buzzing dining venues. They have plenty to offer investors too, with the combined benefits of the brands’ trademarks, full services and facility management leading to premium selling prices.
- Nakhati – Just opened in August in Riyadh, Nakhati, meaning “my flavour” in Arabic, is Kerten Hospitality’s purpose-driven premium gelato brand offering more than just deliciously unexpected flavours and local Saudi ingredients. Nakhati offers fledgling Saudi entrepreneurs the opportunity to launch their own franchises with access to initial funding, a range of options from a simple gelato cart to kiosk or fully-fledged store, and a comprehensive suite of high-quality business tools and mentorship programmes to support the growth and empowerment of franchisees.
- Ouspace – Ouspace brings a collaborative working space environment to each of Kerten Hospitality’s residential developments, replacing the traditional meeting rooms and business centres of the past with a future-looking solution. The spaces are blank canvases, offering flexible space for events, social scenes for those who like to be part of something bigger, and efficient, functional workplaces for when something just needs to get done. It’s the future of business. Upcoming openings planned in Jeddah and Tbilisi.
A development pipeline with a purpose
Kerten Hospitality’s ambitious pipeline of upcoming projects spans ten openings in the next eight months, with ten additional signings in progress and a total of more than 45 projects in development. Upcoming projects include openings in Egypt, Georgia, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and range from urban to resort projects in locations both familiar and emerging.
Much of the brand’s purpose is built on the ESG initiative UBBU – United. Building a Better Universe. Inspired by the Butterfly Effect, based on the fact that small actions, especially when done by many, have the power to prompt global impact and change, the brand’s UBBU philosophy drives every project from the beginning to completion. From early steps, such as a commitment to hiring staff locally and using local materials, to decisions around supporting social causes, creating markets for local artists and artisans, to making simple adjustments to heat, water and air-filtering systems, UBBU is the foundation on which every project is built.
“ESG is more than a nice-to-have for Kerten Hospitality,” says Knippenberg. “It drives everything we do, from a social to an environmental level. Our belief in UBBU is shared by every member of our team, and that drive to bring only positive impacts on the destinations in which we operate is one of the key foundations of our business.”

BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Empower Energies and Australian company Redflow have signed a Letter of Intent to develop integrated solar and flow battery solutions for the North American commercial and industrial (C&I), remote community micro grid, and utility markets.
The integrated solar and Redflow energy storage solution architecture was developed through the companies' joint engagement with a Fortune 100 company who is interested in deploying solar and flow battery storage projects at some of its commercial campuses.
Empower Energies' CEO Michael Belko and CSO Patrick Corr both believe the partnership can provide a truly differentiated solution for this Fortune 100 client as well as other North American C&I customers.
"Our new offering could be of great interest to customers seeking robust Energy Storage Solutions (ESS), but that require an alternative to lithium-ion," said Belko.
"We've found that our integrated solar and flow battery solution is of particular interest to certain C&I customers looking for an alternative ESS solution for load shifting, peak shaving or ancillary services on their corporate campuses to reduce energy costs and meet their ESG goals," said Corr.
Redflow's President of North America and Chief Commercial Officer Mark Higgins believes that this co-developed solution will present a new, safer alternative to traditional solutions.
"The integrated solution we've developed in partnership with Empower Energies represents a unique, innovative, and stress-tested alternative to the status quo solar and lithium-ion solution," said Higgins.
"Our integrated offering provides a safer, rugged, more sustainable and cost competitive alternative to lithium-ion batteries + solar, and our batteries don't materially degrade over their useful life, unlike lithium ion," he said.
"The uniquely safe zinc bromine chemistry has no risk of thermal runaway, making our solution better to deploy in urban and suburban environments where safety is a paramount consideration. Also, our hibernation mode enables our batteries to be used for backup power and resilience deployments in a very cost-effective manner versus lithium."
The LOI is non-binding and non-exclusive. Plans are underway to conduct webinars and provide educational materials about the integrated solution in the coming months.

Indian women's cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has been in fine form in T20 cricket in 2022.
(Photo: IANS/Altered by The Quint)
"Elegance is not about being noticed, it's about being remembered."
These are the words of famous Italian fashion designer and founder of luxury fashion house Armani, Giorgio Armani. Though Armani has no relation to the sport of cricket, his words visibly reflect in the performances of one of India’s star cricketers – Smriti Mandhana.
Smriti was elegance personified in Derby on Tuesday night when she scored 79 off 53 balls to guide India women's team to an eight-wicket win and level the three-match T20I series 1-1 against England.
The Indian chase of 142 set by the hosts did not feature a single six, but Smriti proved that guile and grace could win games in the shortest format, and not just brute hitting.
Stellar 2022 for Smriti in T20Is So Far
Out of the 10 T20I matches Smriti has played this year, seven have been in England. Prior to the two matches they have played in the ongoing series against the English, India played the other five in Birmingham as it was the venue for this year’s Commonwealth Games.
Smriti, who was elevated to the role of vice-captain ahead of their Commonwealth Games campaign in July, featured in all five of India’s matches and was one of the best performers in the tournament.
Her impressive strike rate of 151.42 was the best among the top-10 batters and it came handy for her side many a time through the course of the tournament.
One such occasion was the semi-final clash against hosts England, where she hit a quickfire 61 off just 32 balls, helping India record a narrow four-run win and secure the last-two spot.
Though India lost to eventual winners Australia, there were a lot of positives to take with Smriti’s fine form at the top of the order being the most notable of all.
Maintaining High Strike Rate With Ease
Following her exploits with the willow in the Commonwealth Games, Smriti decided to rub shoulders with a few of the top female cricketers in the world in ‘The Hundred’ tournament organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
She left off from where she started, smashing 46 off 25 balls in her side Southern Brave’s second match of The Hundred 2022 edition. Though her form deteriorated in the final stages, Mandhana still managed to finish as her side’s top scorer in the tournament with 211 runs in eight games.
With the advent of T20 cricket, maintaining a high strike rate has become more of a norm rather than a luxury and Smriti has managed to satisfy the aforementioned criteria with aplomb.
She is clearly not one of the hard hitters of the game but rather focuses on her basic cricketing shots and game reading to excel in a format that is gaining more popularity with time.
This was evident most recently in her displays against England where she cleared the boundaries with ease while still maintaining a strike rate close to 150.
India’s Torchbearer in T20 Cricket
Smriti leads the chart for the most runs scored in women’s T20Is in 2022 among Indians. The left-handed opener has 323 runs from 10 matches, including three fifties and a strike rate of 135.14 to her name.
She is closely followed by her captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, at the second place with 290 runs from 11 games. Her excellent form in the shortest format saw her rise to a career-best third in the T20 rankings just last month and it won’t be too long before she reaches the top.
Though Harmanpreet has not displayed any signs of slowing down, age is quickly catching up with the 33-year-old, which means Smriti is the future of Indian women’s cricket in T20Is. To say that she is India’s torchbearer in T20 cricket would, hence, not be an overstatement.
However, if that is to come true, Smriti has to follow in the footsteps of Mithali and her veteran teammate, Jhulan Goswami, who over the years have taught cricketers of all gender that fame and longevity comes with a cost – commitment and consistency.
If she manages to crack that code, the name Smriti Mandhana will resonate and adorn the halls of cricketing history in the years to come.

BOSTON — A hard plastic case that exploded on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston causing minor injuries to a staff member contained a rambling note that railed against virtual reality and also referenced Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, a law enforcement official said Wednesday.
Investigators are still trying to identify the motive behind the Tuesday evening explosion and are working to understand why the package was specifically sent to Northeastern, the official said.
Investigators are also trying to determine the specific mechanism of the device and whether the package contained any gunpowder, the official added. The official could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The official described the case as a "Pelican-style" case. Pelican makes hard cases designed to protect sensitive equipment.
A spokesperson for the FBI office in Boston declined to comment Wednesday, saying the investigation is "still very active and fluid."
A Northeastern spokesperson on Wednesday had no new details on the case.
The package delivered to Holmes Hall detonated just after 7 p.m. Tuesday when a staff member opened it, the university said in a statement. The staff member, a 45-year-old man, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to his hand, police said. No name was made public.
Boston's bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city's Museum of Fine Arts, which is near Northeastern's campus.
Holmes Hall is home to the university's creative writing program and its women's, gender and sexuality studies program.
Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston with about 16,000 undergraduate students. The campus opened normally for classes Wednesday.
Tuesday's explosion marked one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others.

A Tulsa foundation partnered with local organizations to dedicate a historical marker honoring the contributions and legacies of the founders of Black Wall Street.
The Terence Crutcher Foundation along with OSU-Tulsa, the Tulsa Community Remembrance Coalition, and the Equal Justice Initiative unveiled the marker Tuesday afternoon.
The marker has been placed at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue and John Hope Franklin Boulevard on OSU-Tulsa's campus.
Friday marks six years since Terence Crutcher, who was unarmed, was shot and killed during a traffic stop by a Tulsa police officer.
Former police officer Betty Shelby was found "not guilty" of first-degree manslaughter for the shooting.
The dedication is one of many of the Foundation's events scheduled this week to commemorate the death of Terence Crutcher.
Some of those events include discussions with family members, a day of service featuring voter registration, and more.
Organizers said family and community members plan to gather outside Tulsa's city hall tonight at 5 p.m. for discussions on police accountability.

Name of Product: thyssenkrupp Access Corp. Residential Elevators
Hazard: Children can become entrapped in the space between the exterior hoistway door and the elevator car door or gate and suffer serious injury or death if the elevator is called to another floor.
Remedy: Inspect, Repair
Consumer Contact: TKA at 800-285-9862 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at the TKA Home Elevator Safety Program at https://homelevator-safety.com or by emailing info@homelevator-safety.com.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that it settled an administrative lawsuit against thyssenkrupp Access Corp. (TKA), now known as TK Access Solutions Corp., of Grandview, Missouri. The lawsuit, filed in July 2021, involves home or residential elevators under a variety of TKA-owned model names, including Chaparral, Destiny, LEV, LEV II, LEV II Builder, Rise, Volant, Windsor, Independence, and Flexi-Lift that TKA manufactured and sold to dealers for installation in homes between approximately 1996 and 2012.
There have been three incidents involving these elevators, including a 2-year old child who died in 2017 and a 2010 incident that left a 3-year old child permanently disabled.
As part of the settlement, TKA is recalling to inspect the elevators, providing free inspections, and, if necessary, free installation of safety devices, known as space guards, at no charge to consumers.
The consent agreement, which was approved by a vote of 4-1, resolves charges that the elevators present a hazard because children can become entrapped in the space between the exterior hoistway door and the elevator car door or gate and suffer serious injury or death if the elevator is called to another floor.
Homeowners should immediately contact TKA for a free inspection and free installation of the free space guard(s), if necessary, by calling toll-free at 800-285-9862 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at the TKA Home Elevator Safety Program at https://homelevator-safety.com or by emailing info@homelevator-safety.com. Alternatively, TKA will provide inspection and installation instructions directly to homeowners who do not wish to have an installer come into their home.
Until the inspection and installation of space guards has been completed, homeowners should prevent children living in or visiting their homes from accessing a residential elevator.
The settlement of this matter does not constitute a determination by the Commission, or an admission by TKA, that the elevators contain a defect or present a substantial product hazard. About 16,800 residential elevators, sold for between $15,000 and $25,000 for a two-landing installation, were manufactured and distributed by ThyssenKrupp Access Manufacturing, LLC, thyssenkrupp Access Corp., Access Industries, or National Wheel-O-Vator through 2012.

Hole, as misunderstood as they were, channeled the pain of femininity found in smeared lipstick and tattered dresses. For UNI and The Urchins, they find that trigger point and twist.
Press materials for the band describe them as an omnipresent, sinister figure that lurks in the shadows of your psyche, sees you when you're engaging in life's most intimate moments and stares you down when you least expect it. Composed of Jack James, Charlotte Kemp Muhl and David Strange, the trio take New York art-punk back to its extreme roots, relying on their DIY ethos to craft a precise, uncomfortable and strangely beautiful blend of grunge, synth wave and punk.
For their next adventure, they tackled the grim feminist anthem "Doll Parts" by '90s grunge legends Hole, fronted by Courtney Love. While acknowledging the feminine horror of the original song, they place their own dark sci-fi twist. Despite being scrapped together with very little material, the resulting video (directed and edited by Kemp herself) is macabre in the best way, channeling sex, intimacy and the uncertainty of a growing technological world informed by their diverse experiences and backgrounds ranging from fashion to just being a human.
In addition to the new single and video, the band has announced their debut album, Simulator, described as "a cosmic trip through a lobotomized disco," with the not-so-subtle undertone of robots possibly taking over the world and destroying the human race. In other words, right up our alley.
Kemp and James took some time to answer some questions about what makes "Doll Parts" the perfect piece in their brilliant sci-fi puzzle.
There’s a lot of controversy wrapped up within Courtney Love, and Hole is a tough band to cover. What was the process like to reimagine the song?
Charlotte Kemp Muhl: Jack came to me wanting to do a Hole cover. I immediately thought how killer the "Doll Parts" lyrics were in the new context of Crispr, transhumanism, avatars, Web 3.0. Originally, Courtney was writing about feminine dysmorphia and objectification in the '90s. But like the insufferable sci-fi stan I am, I was excited about how they could apply to designer gene modification and the spirit’s attempt to flee its fleshy cage. The penultimate step of evolution, planned obsolescence of the physical, blah blah blah.
So I changed some of the chords to be darker, worked on the demo with my sample connoisseur pal Cae Rale, utilizing a digital version of the Exquisite Corpse victorian parlor game, then I mangled the crap out of it. David strummed some late-night guitar in my living room through a busted '50s amp, and lastly, I wrote some orchestral arrangements that my heavy metal violinist friend Earl absolutely shredded. The best part, of course, was recording Jack’s vocals, which are so damn eerie and emotive. I think he always cries when he sings, he’s so deep in character. Either that or he’s just allergic to my cats…
Jack James: I’m a big fan of Hole – in more ways than one! I had the idea to cover the song a few years ago just for fun. Kemp wanted to give it an industrial pop makeover, and it was the first song we tried post-quarantine, so we all worked remotely. I know this may come as a surprise to people, but I have a propensity for cinematic drama; I put the extra in extraterrestrial! So when I heard her strings and Cae’s sledgehammer beat I knew we had something great on our webbed hands.
I think because Courtney Love is wrapped in controversy as you say, she often gets overlooked for the incredible artist she is. Live Through This is a masterpiece! The 16-year-old riot girl that lives in me is elated to be dipping into that iconography. We love you, Courtney!
The visuals are stunning, playing into the literal and metaphorical meaning of the song. How did you come up with everything?
Kemp: I always wanted to do a video inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey or A Clockwork Orange. So I kind of merged those sets into one. Jack wanted to give the droog outfits an equestrian twist, which I thought was super cool, so I also threw in some medical and sports elements like shin guards and neck braces. We were debating what should go on the neon sign and Jack thought of making it the album title – so then I imagined this whole backstory that the Simulator is actually an inter-dimensional bar where the demi-Gods and Coders gather to drink adrenochrome and consort with geishas from other planets. The casting process for diverse body types to represent bio-hacked babes and avatars was so fun and we met/made friends with some wonderful people. We wrapped our shoot in the middle of the night in the grimiest subway station in Manhattan. That shot of Jack had been looping in my head for months, with the many arms representing desire, so I'm thrilled we were able to get it. He nailed it in one take, of course.
James: Thank you for saying that, that’s very kind. Kemp and I are constantly collecting and sending each other inspiration, from Klaus Nomi to Steven Arnold. We like to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. The videos are an extension of the sonic emotion and lyrical meaning. Of course, when it’s your own music video you have the opportunity to live out your teenage dream of being an equestrian droog in a made-up Space Odyssey-inspired milk bar… that’s what every 16-year-old dreams of, right?
Body horror is a big theme across your work and visuals. What is that significance?
Kemp: I don’t consider it horror. I find all that Cronenberg/Chris Cunningham/Matthew Barney stuff so exquisitely beautiful. "Body surrealism" is what I’d call it. Maybe, having been objectified my whole life as a model since age 12, I view the body as a modular dissociative toy. And mainstream beauty is so banal. The Kardashians and culture’s obsession with surgical perfection is the real horror show to me.
James: Body horror? That’s hot - do you mind if I steal that for something? To me, the artery of UNI and The Urchins’ visuals is surrealism. Not to sound pretentious (MUAH…?), but I think we always want to evoke the viewer to question what they’re seeing in the world. I don’t always care to see the same conventional models or dancers over and over again, I’d rather see something unique. Kemp and I in our own careers have experienced such physical reductionism that when we’re in the driver’s seat, it’s nice to flip the script on the beauty industry.
How do you utilize the medium of music videos as an art in itself with your music, and how do you make sure one does not eclipse the other?
Kemp: I know it’s such a cliche when artists claim to have synesthesia, but I do think that cross-wiring of the senses is how most people subliminally digest art. When I close my eyes and listen to Bach, I see movies. When I look at a painting I hear soundtracks.
James: We’ve made a music video for every song on the album and for almost every single we’ve ever put out, so the visuals are an extension of the lyrics for us. I’d say we utilize them just as another tool for getting our point across… if there is a point. As far as eclipsing goes? I love eclipses!
What was the most challenging part of this entire process, either film-wise or music-wise?
Kemp: To be totally honest, running out of money. Modeling came to a grinding halt the first year of covid, then I lost interest in being a fashion zombie entirely. I turned to investing in crypto, but at the worst possible time. So the plan to fund all our vids and music with sweet Eth gains went out the window, lol, and we had to re envision a lot of the grand-scale ideas and postpone the rock opera we were planning to do. We got super scrappy and shot half our videos with no crew except our friend Ari and a Bolex. I was literally duct-taping cameras to mic stands. Our catering was Taco Bell. We pulled a lot of favors from friends and got a free studio to shoot "Doll Parts" (thanks Mighty Lucky and Levine!). Jack and I made costumes from cardboard or cheap crap off Amazon we’d return after. I taught myself how to mix/master to save money. Learned rotoscoping and After FX. Even considered starting an OnlyFans of my feet. But I wouldn’t trade the adventure, friendship, and puzzles of low-budget art for anything…. (Except maybe a Netflix deal. Call me.)
James: We do everything ourselves. Concept, costumes, lightning, you name it; we put the “why?!” in D.I.Y.
It’s always challenging working with a limited budget to make the visual in our heads a reality. The pre-production for these videos is a blast, but then again I’m a masochist. It’s no sleep, glitter, and elbow grease but we’re laughing together the whole time. Or should I say in this case the “hole” time?
How do you hope to further expand upon such intense, thought-provoking artistry, whether it be live shows or other innovations?
James: At heart, I’m a show pony; I live to perform. I would love to build a theatrical stage show a la “The Diamond Dogs Tour” or pretty much any Grace Jones live show. UNI and The Urchins is more than a band, it’s a collective similar to Warhol’s factory (at least in my head). We clock in at nine and leave at one; one being until one of us dies. We’ll keep creating until they close the coffin… and even then we’ll still be going Cryogenics style.
Kemp: We’re starting to put together a new live band and show concept. But long term we want to expand into video game characters, VR rock operas, comic books, and feature films. At this point, we’re grateful to get a singing telegram gig so we’ll see if any corpos wanna throw their rupees at us to make weird uncommercial stuff. If not, I’m happy retiring from music to become an inventor of practical things, cuz at the end of the day art is ego and we live in a post-art world.
Below, watch the PAPER premiere of "Doll Parts" by UNI and the Urchins.

Family with Deep Experience in Franchising Signs Multi-Unit Deal in Greater Tampa Bay Market
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Floyd's 99 Barbershop (Floyd's), the full-service haircare franchise known for its expert cuts in an amplified environment, has signed a five-unit franchise agreement to open shops in the Greater Tampa Bay area of Florida, with the first location anticipated to open by summer of 2023.
Behind this signed agreement is Josh Noyes, a 27-year-old Tampa-native, with the support of his Operating Partner Rich Thomas. Josh grew up in a family with deep roots in franchising where his dad, Adam Noyes, has held executive level positions at Checkers/Rally's and currently at Potbelly Sandwich Works. In fact, Adam's career is what inspired Josh to follow in his footsteps.
"I always knew I wanted to own my own business. After seeing my dad's involvement with many successful franchises over the last three decades, I knew starting my own franchise investment would be an exciting venture," said Josh. "This will truly be a family business that is focused on our clients. I entered into this partnership because I truly believe in the Floyd's Barbershop concept and we are looking forward to building the Floyd's brand in the thriving Tampa Bay market."
When considering his career path, Josh Noyes always eyed the service industry and with a deep passion for music, Floyd's quickly became the obvious choice as a business investment.

LONG BEFOON MILLA's death it is certain some time ago: and that time seems much longer since as he fell to a disturbs, than many persons and those which are grown more disaffected with government. And indeed upon some late articles against us the said CLAYNE had a principal influence : in what is in him consists his title : because if we must stand upon principles they can now produce for their support not other than such titles only or rather South Korea fines Google, Meta $72 million over privacy violations
South Korea’s privacy watchdog has fined Google and Meta a combined $72 million for tracking consumers’ online behavior without their consent and using their data for targeted advertisements.
Video above: How to remove your personal information from Google
South Korea’s Personal Information and Protection Commission said it fined Google $50 million and Meta $22 million after a meeting where officials agreed that the companies’ business practices might cause “serious” privacy infringements.
The fines were the biggest ever penalties imposed by South Korea for privacy law violations, the commission said in a press release.
Both companies refuted the commission’s findings and Meta indicated it could challenge its fine in court. The fines can be appealed through administrative lawsuits, which must be filed within 90 days after the companies are formally notified of the commission’s decision.
According to the commission, Google and Meta, which operates Facebook and Instagram, didn’t clearly inform users or obtain their consent as they collected information about their online activities when they used other websites or services outside their own platforms. Such data was used to analyze their interests and create individually customized advertisements, the commission said.
The commission ordered the companies to provide an “easy and clear” process of consent giving people more control over whether to share information about what they do online.
“Google did not clearly inform consumers that it would collect and use their behavioral information about their use of other companies’ (services) when they signed up,” the commission said.
“Meta did not present the content of consent in a way that could be easily seen by consumers when they signed up, and just included the content in their full data policy statement. It did not specifically inform consumers of the legally required notifications and did not obtain their consent.”
The commission said the companies’ practices seriously threatened privacy rights as more than 82% of South Koreans using Google and more than 98% using Meta have let the companies track their online activities.
Google, a search and email giant that also operates the YouTube video platform, disagreed with the commission’s findings. It said in a statement that it has always demonstrated a commitment to “making ongoing updates that give users control and transparency.” The company said it will review the commission’s findings once it receives the fully written decision.
Meta said it will consider “all options,” including seeking a court ruling.
“We are confident that we work with our clients in a legally compliant way that meets the processes required by local regulations,” Meta said in an emailed statement.

The Marist School continues its search for its next school president, who they say will likely be a layperson.
In a recent update to the school community, Marist School Board of Trustees Vice-Chair and President Search Committee Chair Mike Cote shared that the school’s next president is likely to be a layperson. Fr. Bill Rowland, S.M. will step down on June 30, 2023.
Founded in 1901, Marist School is Atlanta’s oldest Catholic secondary school and to date has always been led by a priest from the Society of Mary, which has owned and operated the school since its inception.
In a transition to lay leadership, Marist School would join 87% of all U.S. Catholic schools and 97% of Catholic high schools that are led by laypersons, according to recent data from the National Catholic Education Association.
Cote, along with Marist School Board of Trustees Chair Bill Roche, agree that the entire community, from members of the Board of Trustees to the administration, faculty, staff, and parent body, along with the Society of Mary, is ready for the important transition.
“Everyone at Marist School is fully committed to our vital mission,” Cote said. “As we search for a new president, it is essential that we find someone who will not only embrace the distinctive Marist tradition, spirit and values but also continue to find ways to imbue them into day-to-day life at Marist School.:
“The Marist School community has witnessed many profound changes since it began as an all-boys military school in downtown Atlanta over 120 years ago,” Roche said. “With each change, the school has remained deeply committed to its Marist mission and, in fact, that commitment has grown stronger through the years. I expect the Marist spirit to continue shining brightly with this impending leadership change and beyond.”
The Society of Mary said it has prepared for the change to lay leadership by creating infrastructure and policies to ensure a successful transition while making it paramount that the school’s mission and Marist identity remain strong and secure.
The Society of Mary has expanded the role of the Board of Trustees over many years to include both fiduciary and operational responsibility for the school rather than serving solely in an advisory capacity to the Society of Mary as the board has done in the past.
To preserve and strengthen the school’s religious identity, the Society of Mary has taken two significant steps. First, they have created the position of Rector, a role which will be held by a Marist priest. Fr. Rowland will become Rector of Marist School as of July 1, 2023. In that position, he will oversee the integrity of the school’s religious identity as a Catholic and a Marist school and will serve as a liaison between the school and the Society of Mary.
Secondly, the Society of Mary has developed a sponsorship program that outlines the standards and expectations for Marist schools. Through an accreditation process, Marist School will reaffirm on a regular basis the fundamental characteristics that define it as a school that carries forth the Marist mission in education as envisioned by Society of Mary Founder Fr. Jean-Claude Colin.
“The new Rector position, which will always be held by a Marist priest, will ensure the Marist charism, spirituality, and Catholicity of the school remains strong,” provincial superior of the Society of Mary U.S. Province Father Joseph Hindelang, S.M., said. “We are confident a Rector, in partnership with an experienced and highly qualified lay president, will ensure Marist School retains its distinctive Marist spirit and remains a model for world-class secondary Catholic education well into the future.”
Marist School Board of Trustees Member Bishop Joel Konzen, S.M., who served as principal of Marist School prior to becoming an auxiliary bishop with the Archdiocese of Atlanta, echoed this perspective.
“An independent Catholic school that is animated by the charism and mission of its sponsoring religious order is able to provide a unique educational experience capable of transforming the lives of young people and their families,” Konzen said. “I have no doubt that Marist’s search committee will select a president who values Marist spirituality and who will carry forward the school’s tradition of excellence in Catholic education with a distinctive Marist spirit.”
Marist School has engaged the faith-based executive search firm Partners in Mission School Leadership Search Solutions to assist with the search for a new president. A prospectus is available to prospective candidates. Marist School has sent periodic updates to the school community to keep them apprised of progress.

- Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry addressed the growing needs for community services due to COVID-19 by committing to significantly expanding its individual giving program and engaging a local foundation, requesting a three-part challenge grant. They raised 290% more during a 3-month period compared to the same timeframe a year earlier. This result was 290% higher than in the same 3-month period a year earlier.
- Leukemia & Lymphoma Society responded to the challenging times propelled by the pandemic by quickly pivoting to develop two national virtual fundraising campaigns. Each of these surpassed targets and reached new audiences. In 2021, LLS provided more than 42,000 patients with over $241 million in total grants, a 70% increase from 2020.
Storyteller of the Year
The Storyteller of the Year Award recognizes two organizations for excellence in communicating their purpose through branding, narrative, and promotion that inform the mind and move the heart.
- Comfort Cases' story is most often told by its founder, Rob Scheer, who openly shares his own journey in foster care. With more than 250,000 followers on their social media platforms, and as host of Fostering Change, ranked for the second consecutive year as the #1-rated podcast related to issues regarding foster care and adoption, Comfort Cases furthers its mission of inspiring communities to bring dignity and hope to youth in foster care. Since its founding 10 years ago, Comfort Cases has given out more than 185,000 comfort cases filled with essential items to use in each of the 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom.
- Community Living works to enrich the lives of people with disabilities so they can achieve their highest potential by providing children and adults with services and programs that allow them to live, learn, and work in the community. Their stories aren't about nameless faces, they're about Tyler who was named homecoming king, and Karen who was laid off during the pandemic but is thriving in her new job and just bought a new car. Their storytelling engaged donors, resulting in a 60% fundraising lift compared to the previous year and growing annual recurring gifts by up to 15% and witnessing the frequency of giving literally double.
Fundraisers of the Year
The Fundraiser of the Year Award recognizes three nonprofit professionals whose leadership, success, and passion for their mission stand out among their peers.
- Jane Kobak, Associate Director of Major Giving for Opportunity Enterprises: Jane is a true leader and develops strong relationships with staff, board members, clients, and the community. As a result of her dedication, Opportunity Enterprises exceeded their annual revenue budget by over 60% in the recent fiscal year.
- Jennifer Berger, Director of Development for Rubicon Programs: Jennifer never settles for average. At times, gifts have come unsolicited – without a grant application or specific ask – because donors were so impressed by Jennifer and her passion for Rubicon's work. Rubicon hit their annual fundraising goal in under six months, thanks in large part to Jennifer's leadership.
- Megan Carfa, Operations and Development Director for Junior Players: Megan not only talks the talk, she walks the walk. She never asks anyone to do anything she won't do herself. She truly inspires everyone around her to take initiative and step up. In 5 short years, Megan's work has expanded their programs tenfold and has contributed to an increase of Junior Players' North Texas Giving Day goal every year— raising 150% of their goal in 2021.
Raise Awards winners were selected by a committee of peer nonprofit professionals and industry experts looking for a focus on specific achievements, campaigns, and events from the last 12 months. In addition to the award recognition, winners receive a cash donation to their mission on behalf of OneCause.

MASURY, Ohio (WKBN) – Crews have begun demolishing the former Schuster’s Steak House building on Brookfield Avenue.
Demolition began Tuesday, and some of the building was down Wednesday morning.
Brookfield Township Trustees said the cost of the demolition and remediation work will be paid for by the Trumbull County Land Bank and county commissioners with their ARP funding.
Trustees said during their meeting last month that the Land Bank will likely hold on to the property for some time, and it will likely be fenced in.
The building has been vacant for years.

Despite “breakthrough” renewables growth across Southeast and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia in recent years, more needs to be done to boost deployment and reduce the region’s reliance on Russian energy imports.
That is the findings of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s (UNECE) report, prepared in conjunction with Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21), that looked at the status of renewables in 18 countries in the region, including Russia.
It argued that the war in Ukraine will act as a catalyst and will likely boost the long-term prospects for renewable energy development in these countries as they seek to become less dependent on Russian energy imports. But that this will also require strong policy signals, greater investment and the buildout of domestic supply chains.
The report showed how, between 2017 and 2021, the countries it analysed added more than 20GW of renewable power, to reach a total installed capacity of more than 100GW.
For the first time, this growth was driven mainly by solar PV (58%) and wind power (25%) additions. The region’s wind power capacity grew more than sevenfold and solar PV capacity by more than 10 between 2017 and 2021.
Ukraine installed the most solar PV and wind power capacity during this period (8.3GW), followed by Kazakhstan (3.7GW) and Russia (3.5GW).
These three countries all ranked among the world’s top 30 countries for renewable energy investment in 2019, with Ukraine ranking 17th (US$3.4 billion), Russian 20th (US$2.3 billion) and Kazakhstan 28th (US$0.8 billion).
All of this, however, was before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. According to the report, the Russian invasion has knocked out 90% of Ukraine’s wind power and 30% of its solar power capacity as of June, representing around a quarter of the total wind capacity and a fifth of the solar capacity in the region.
“The Russian invasion of Ukraine and its spill-over effect on neighbouring countries is undermining renewable energy generation in the short term. At the same time, it has shed new light on the benefits of a rapid energy transition and could bring a surge in renewable installations in the region,” said Rana Adib, REN21’s executive director.
Despite the previously mentioned “breakthrough progress” in renewables – deployment is still below levels required under the Paris Agreement, however – the countries included in the report continue to depend heavily on fossil fuel sources and rely on a limited number of energy exporters, especially Russia.
Of those included in the study, 13 of the 18 countries are highly dependent on energy imports, with four of them – Armenia, Belarus, Georgia and Moldova – importing more than 70% of their total primary energy supply. “Renewables could help countries diversify their energy supply and protect against fluctuating natural gas and oil prices,” said the report.
“Renewable energy growth in the region through 2021 was driven mainly by favourable policies and by the falling costs of renewable energy technologies – but now, energy security is absolutely at the forefront. Moving away from fossil fuel has never been as vital for the region,” said Adib.
In order to do this, the report – which you can read in full here – argued that countries in the region need to invest in domestic renewable supply chains, “untapped” distributed energy resources and transmission infrastructure.
Key to this will be ramping up investment in renewables in a relatively poor part of the world. In 2016, renewable energy investment in the region fell to US$2.7 billion before returning to the 2013 level of US$7.2 billion in 2018, representing around 2.2% of the global total. In comparison, the European Union (EU) invested US$55 billion in renewables in 2018.
“To ensure a low-carbon future with stable energy costs, countries need to commit today to a renewables-based energy system. This can be achieved through policy implementation, long-term funding to grow domestic supply chains and stronger regional co-operation,” said said UNECE Executive Secretary Olga Algayerova.
“Scaling up renewables investment is crucial to strengthen energy security and affordability in light of the energy and financial shocks related to the conflict in Ukraine,” added Algayerova.
The following countries were considered in the report: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, the Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan

R&B superstar R. Kelly’s musical accomplishments have long been shadowed by allegations that he sexually abused women and children. Now the singer faces a jury verdict in his hometown of Chicago on charges accusing him of rigging his 2008 child pornography trial and of enticing minors for sex.
The deliberations that began Tuesday follow weeks of testimony and come after he was sentenced in June in New York to three decades behind bars on federal sex trafficking charges. While Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, has vehemently denied the allegations, his accusers testified that he subjected them to perverse and sadistic whims when they were underage.
A timeline of Kelly’s life through his rise and fall as an R&B artist:
— 1990: R. Kelly’s R&B group MGM wins the $100,000 grand prize on the syndicated television talent show “Big Break,” hosted by Natalie Cole. Because of money disagreements, that is the last time the group performs together.
— January 1992: R. Kelly & Public Announcement debuts “Born Into The ’90s.” Released a year later, the album goes platinum.
— November 1993: His album “12 Play” is released and sells more than 5 million copies. Hit singles include “Sex Me” and “Bump N’ Grind,” which becomes the longest-running No. 1 R&B song in more than 30 years.
— Aug. 31, 1994: At age 27, R. Kelly marries 15-year-old R&B singer Aaliyah D. Haughton in a secret ceremony arranged by Kelly at a Chicago hotel. The marriage is annulled months later because of Aaliyah’s age. (Aaliyah died in a plane crash seven years later, at age 22.)
— November 1996: R. Kelly releases his third album, “R. Kelly.” A month later, he incorporates Rockland Records. His song “I Believe I Can Fly,” from the “Space Jam” soundtrack, peaks at No. 2 on the Billboard pop chart. The same year, he marries 22-year-old Andrea Lee, a dancer from his touring troupe. The couple has three children: Joanne, Jaya and Robert Jr.
— February 1998: Kelly wins three Grammys for “I Believe I Can Fly.”
— August 2001: Tracy Sampson files a lawsuit against Kelly, alleging their sex was illegal under Illinois law because he was in “a position of authority” over her. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
— Feb. 8, 2002: The Chicago Sun-Times reports that it received a videotape allegedly showing Kelly having sex with a minor. The paper reports that Chicago police began investigating allegations about Kelly and the same girl three years earlier. At the time, the girl and her parents deny she was having sex with Kelly.
The day the news breaks, Kelly performs at the opening ceremonies for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
— June 5, 2002: Kelly is indicted in Chicago on child pornography charges related to the sex tape. He pleads not guilty and is released on $750,000 bail.
— May 9, 2008: Kelly’s child pornography trial begins.
— June 13, 2008: Kelly is acquitted on all counts after less than a day of deliberations.
— June 27, 2012: Kelly publishes his autobiography, “Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me,” focusing on his creative and family life rather than his legal troubles.
— Sept. 29, 2012: Kelly is nominated for two Soul Train Awards, making him the most nominated act ever at the awards show.
— July 17, 2017: BuzzFeed reports on parents’ claims that Kelly brainwashed their daughters and was keeping them in an abusive “cult.” One woman says she was with Kelly willingly. Activists launch the #MuteRKelly movement, calling for boycotts of his music.
— May 2018: Spotify cuts R. Kelly’s music from its playlists, citing its policy on hateful conduct. Shortly after, Apple and Pandora also stop promoting his music. Kelly’s team pushes back, noting other artists on Spotify have been accused or convicted of crimes.
— Jan. 3, 2019: Lifetime airs the documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” which revisits old allegations and brings new ones into the spotlight. The BBC’s “R Kelly: Sex, Girls & Videotapes,” released the previous year, alleges the singer held women against their will.
— Jan. 21, 2019: Multiple media outlets report that Kelly and his label, Sony subsidiary RCA Records, part ways. Kelly continues to deny all abuse allegations.
— Feb. 22, 2019: Kelly is arrested and charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse.
— Feb. 25, 2019: Kelly’s attorney enters not guilty pleas on the singer’s behalf. Hours later, Kelly posts bail and is released from jail in Chicago.
— March 6, 2019: CBS airs an interview in which Kelly vehemently denies the sexual abuse charges. Cook County authorities take Kelly into custody after he tells a judge he can't pay $161,000 in child support.
— May 30, 2019: Kelly is charged with 11 new sex-related counts in Chicago. They involve one of the women who accuses him of sexually abusing her when she was underage.
— July 11, 2019: Kelly is indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago on charges including child pornography, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice. A separate indictment filed in the Eastern District of New York includes charges of racketeering, kidnapping, forced labor and the sexual exploitation of a child. He is again arrested in Chicago.
— July 16, 2019: A federal judge orders Kelly held without bond after a prosecutor warns he poses an extreme danger to young girls.
— Aug. 5, 2019: Kelly is charged in Minnesota with prostitution and solicitation related to an allegation that he invited a 17-year-old girl to his hotel room in 2001 and paid her $200 to dance naked with him.
— March 5, 2020: Kelly pleads not guilty in Chicago to an updated federal indictment that includes child pornography charges and allegations involving a new accuser.
— Aug. 12, 2020: Federal prosecutors announce charges against three men accused of threatening and intimidating women who have accused Kelly of abuse, including one man suspected of setting fire to a vehicle in Florida.
— Aug. 18, 2021: Opening statements begin in Kelly’s federal trial in New York.
— Sept. 27, 2021: A jury finds Kelly guilty of sex trafficking and violating the Mann Act, which makes it illegal to take anyone across state lines “for any immoral purpose.”

- Premier League clubs watched striker at Molde
- Passed up the chance to sign him
- Will regret the decision, says scout
WHAT HAPPENED? Former Molde scout John Vik revealed how Premier League clubs were interested in Haaland before he left the Norwegian side in 2019 for RB Salzburg. The striker has since gone on to become one of the most prolific attackers in Europe as he subsequently moved on to Borussia Dortmund before landing at Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
WHAT THEY SAID: "Liverpool could have got him. Arsenal could have got him," he told The Athletic. "Everyone was there to watch him but these clubs were seeing a No.9 who was tall and broad and, ‘Oh, he’s going to be a target man’. I couldn’t for the life of me see why they had narrowed him down that way."
Vik added that the clubs will be "kicking themselves" after watching Haaland develop into one of the most feared strikers around.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Haaland was linked with a host of Europe's top clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, before signing for the Premier League champions in June. The striker signed a five-year deal with Manchester City and has already taken the league by storm by scoring 10 goals in his first six games in the English top flight.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
DID YOU KNOW? Haaland has become the first Manchester City player to score on both his Champions League debut and his Premier League debut.
WHAT NEXT FOR HAALAND? The striker faces his former club Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday before a trip to Wolves in the Premier League at the weekend.

It’s Gameday Number Thirty-One! Though the Vancouver Whitecaps (9-7-14) technically have a chance to make the MLS Cup playoffs, there’s zero room for error if the club want to make their faintest hopes a reality. Lloyd Christmas, give me strength! Up next is a Wednesday night match against a team that’s also chasing the last playoff spot in the conference: the always problematic Los Angeles Galaxy (11-7-11).
Match Information
Where: BC Place, Vancouver, BC
When: Wednesday, September 14th at 7:08 pm PST
How: TSN1, TSN 4 (TV); AM730 (Radio); TSN App (Internet)
Like I said, there’s zero room for error for the Whitecaps, as only a win keeps the fire alive another day. A loss or a draw combined with an RSL win over Austin will end Vancouver’s season with three matches remaining.
Recent performances don’t exactly make for a positive playoff outlook, as the ‘Caps are 1-1-3 in their last five and have now lost three in a row. A return to BC Place is usually good when the Whitecaps wounds need licking, but not when it’s against a team that’s historically dominant against Vancouver. All-time, the Whitecaps are 9-6-14 in MLS regular season matches against the LA Galaxy, with a goal differential of -15. That’s not great, Bob.
But good news, everyone! That record gets slightly better when the ‘Caps are playing at home, with Vancouver posting a record of 5-4-4 and a differential of +2. Also worth noting is how Vancouver has won two of their last three at home against the Galaxy, netting six goals in the process.
The downside? All those matches took place in the Whitecaps’ COVID homes-away-from-home of Sandy, UT, and Portland, OR. The actual last home match at BC Place against LA was …a 2-0 loss, way back in 2019.
What Happened Last Time?
We only have to go back to August 13th and, uh, it wasn’t pretty.
Goals from Samuel Grandsir, Javier Hernandez, and Victor Vasquez put LA up 3-0- after only thirty minutes. Though Ryan Gauld was able to claw one back at 38’ (off a goalkeeper assist!), the three-goal lead was restored moments later thanks to a second goal from Grandsir.
Though Tosaint Ricketts banged home a right place, right time goal at 70’ to make it 4-2, two yellows from Cristian Dajome (who assisted on the Ricketts goal) inside a span of seven minutes was the coffin in which a fifth goal courtesy of Efrain Alvarez ultimately buried the ‘Caps.
Who’s Starting?
The list of unavailable Whitecaps is perhaps at its shortest since the start of the 2022 season. Though Lucas Cavallini still has two games to serve on his suspension, only Sebastian Berhalter (knee) and Deiber Caicedo (knee) were listed as Out on the league Availability Report. Sarita Patel reported yesterday that Caicedo is now rehabbing his knee following his July meniscus surgery. Though he certainly won’t be back this season, it’s great to hear that Caicedo is progressing through his recovery.
And the good news keeps on coming: Ryan Gauld is back! After serving a one-game suspension due to yellow card accumulation, the Scottish midfielder will be available Wednesday night.
Potential Vancouver Lineup - Hasal; Blackmon, Veselinovic, Nerwinski; Raposo, Teibert, Cubas, Gressel; Gauld, Schopf; White.
Coincidentally, the Galaxy also had two players listed as Out on the Availability report due to knee injuries: defender Jorge Villafaña and midfielder Jonathan Pérez.
The roster coincidences end there, however. Where the ‘Caps have one player returning from suspension, the Galaxy will have two players suspended Wednesday: defenders Sega Coulibaly and Raheem Edwards both picked up yellow cards against Nashville on Saturday and will be sitting out due to accumulation.
Potential LA Galaxy Lineup - Bond; Gasper, Williams, DePuy, Araujo; Grandsir, Puig, Brugman, Delgado; Vasquez, Hernandez.
What’s Up With The Enemy?
The Galaxy’s push for the playoffs has been arthritic.
Following a Fourth of July beatdown of Montreal, Los Angeles was arguably sitting pretty in the Western Conference standings. Sure, they were only one point out of eighth, but they were also one point out of third! If they could get some results and avoid any kind of end-of-summer tumult, the playoffs were a sure thing!
So what happened? Well, LA plummeted down the table after going 1-0-5 following that win over Montreal. The aforementioned 5-2 thumping of Vancouver in mid-August initially appeared to be the needed salve, as the Galaxy have gone undefeated in the time since.
However, “undefeated” in this case means one win and four draws in their last five matches, a span where the Galaxy’s xGD is -0.1 and is actually buoyed by having earned five PKs. Expected Goals on their own don’t tell the full story, of course, but if each PK is worth 0.76 xG, that differential becomes much lower.
Over that same five-game span, LA’s xG was 8.0 against 10 goals scored. Strangely, that xG inflation is actually the opposite of how the team was trending before the all-star break, where the Galaxy had scored 32 goals vs. an xG of 41.
This would probably explain why, as Matt Doyle puts it, Greg Vanney is, “throwing darts every week,” when trying to build a lineup with “new shape(s) with new guys in new roles“ that works consistently. Sounds like a season of never quite knowing how to get things right or, when taking the flip-flopping xG stats into consideration, knowing where your goals will be coming from.
Gee, that all sounds very familiar.
Who’s Worth Watching?
Riqui Puig
It has to be, right? The Galaxy TAM’d him from Barcelona at the beginning of August and he’s already registered two goals and one assist while going the full 90 in four of his five matches. In those four particular matches, he’s led his side in touches every single time while registering nine shots, five of which were on target. The guy gets involved.
I think it’s fair to say that he’s very quickly fit into the Galaxy starting eleven and if he proves to be the linchpin for LA’s attack on Wednesday, Andreas Cubas is going to have a heck of a battle in the center of the park.
Kind of Related & Kind of Hilarious
Keep Chicharito in your thoughts & prayers if the Galaxy end up missing the playoffs, because this panenka was awful:
The Spanish commentators had a good laugh at Chicharito's failed Panenka penalty pic.twitter.com/yeuoje7ldJ
— James Nalton (@JDNalton) September 5, 2022
Of course, the Whitecaps and their fans know what awful panenkas look like, but at least ours didn’t jeopardize a playoff spot.
Who’s Going To Win?
Despite how challenging this season has been for the Whitecaps, along with the inevitable threat Chicharito and Puig will prove to be, I’m going with a 2-1 Vancouver win Wednesday night.
The Galaxy have been kind of terrible on the road this season, going 4-4-6 overall with only one win since early May. The absences of Coulibaly and Edwards may be larger than expected for the Galaxy and, if Cubas can keep a lid on Puig while Grandsir is (hopefully) kept under wraps on the wing this time around, the Whitecaps could capture all three crucial points.
Eighty Six Forever Predictions
Andrew: 2-0 Galaxy
Caleb: 2-1 Vancouver
Luis: 2-0 Vancouver
Sam: 3-1 Galaxy
Officials
Referee: Fotis Bazakos; AR1: Oscar Mitchell-Carvalho; AR2: Chris Wattam; 4th: Alex Chilowicz; VAR: Drew Fischer; AVAR: Eric Weisbrod.

Text messages link Brett Favre, welfare money, university’s volleyball facility
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The governor of Mississippi in 2017 was “on board” with a plan for a nonprofit group to pay Brett Favre more than $1 million in welfare grant money so the retired NFL quarterback could help fund a university volleyball facility, according to text messages between Favre and the director of the nonprofit.
Court documents filed Monday by an attorney for the Mississippi Community Education Center contain text messages between Favre and the center’s executive director, Nancy New, that include references to Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who left office in 2020.
Nancy New and her son, Zachary New, who helped run the nonprofit, pleaded guilty in April to charges of misspending welfare money that was intended to help some of the poorest people in the nation. They await sentencing and have agreed to testify against others in Mississippi’s largest public corruption case in decades.
In May, the Mississippi Department of Human Services filed a civil lawsuit against Favre, three former pro wrestlers and several other people and businesses to try to recover millions of misspent welfare dollars. The lawsuit said the defendants “squandered” more than $20 million from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families anti-poverty program.
In pleading guilty, Nancy and Zachary New acknowledged taking part in spending $4 million of welfare money for a volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi.
The mother and son also acknowledged directing welfare money to Prevacus Inc., a Florida-based company that was trying to develop a concussion drug. Favre has said in interviews that he supported Prevacus.
The filing in a Mississippi state court included text message exchanges between Favre and Nancy New about arranging payment from the Mississippi Department of Human Services through the nonprofit to Favre for speaking engagements, with Favre then saying he would direct the money to the volleyball facility.
Favre played football at the University of Southern Mississippi before going to the NFL in 1991, and his daughter started playing on the volleyball team there in 2017.
According to court documents, Favre texted Nancy New on Aug. 3, 2017: “If you were to pay me is there anyway the media can find out where it came from and how much?”
Nancy New responded: “No, we never have had that information publicized. I understand you being uneasy about that though. Let’s see what happens on Monday with the conversation with some of the folks at Southern. Maybe it will click with them. Hopefully.”
Favre responded: “Ok thanks.”
The next day, Nancy New texted Favre: “Wow, just got off the phone with Phil Bryant! He is on board with us! We will get this done!”
Favre responded: “Awesome I needed to hear that for sure.”
Bryant, a Republican, served two terms and governor and could not run again in 2019 because of term limits. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern Mississippi.
In a July 11 court filing, Nancy New’s attorney wrote that Bryant directed her to pay $1.1 million in welfare money to Favre through the Mississippi Community Education Center for “speaking at events, keynote speaking, radio and promotional events, and business partner development.” A Bryant spokesperson said in July that the allegations against the former governor are false and that Bryant had asked the state auditor to investigate possible welfare fraud.
Favre has not been charged with any criminal wrongdoing. Mississippi Auditor Shad White said Favre was paid for speeches but did not show up. Favre has repaid the money, but White said in October that Favre still owed $228,000 in interest.
In a Facebook post when he repaid the first $500,000, Favre said he didn’t know the money he received came from welfare funds. He also said his charity had provided millions of dollars to poor children in Mississippi and Wisconsin.

The highly awaited Halloween event features a full month of activities including terrifying walks amidst haunted woods filled with frightening creatures. New this year are nightly food trucks, beer and wine, live music and much more.
DAVIE, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This October, Tree Tops Park at 3900 SW 100th Ave; will once again become South Florida's biggest and scariest Halloween event on select dates from October 8th through October 31st.

Hearty laughs, food & drinks, music and live entertainment will help ease the frights, turning each night into a truly memorable and unique Halloween experience.

Before it was destroyed by the Glass Fire, the Haven Thrift Store in Deer Park served residents of the Upvalley and beyond who were seeking a good deal on furniture, clothes and everything in between.
Support local news coverage and the people who report it by subscribing to the Napa Valley Register.
Now the community has returned the favor by pitching in to help rebuild the store, which will reopen in October after operating out of storage containers for the last 18 months.
The store will celebrate with a ribbon-cutting at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, and remain open for business until 5 p.m. that day.
Pastor Curtis Church, director of the store, said reopening it will restore “a sense of normalcy” to a Deer Park community that was ravaged by the Glass Fire, which erupted on Sept. 27, 2020.
More than half of the store’s clientele is Spanish-speaking and more than 60% are low-income, but the store — which is owned by the Haven Seventh-day Adventist Church — draws a broad range of customers.
“A local vintner’s wife recently told me that a number of their employees get their children’s school clothes, shoes and supplies from the Haven Thrift Store,” he said. “They rely on our little store for necessities, especially for their children.
“When the Haven Thrift burned to the ground in the Glass Fire, many of our local families not only lost their homes, but also their resources for affordable clothing and housewares.”
At dozens of homes, and at a local school, the fury of the Glass Fire was plain to see a week after its eruption Upvalley.
Church said the store has been rebuilt with the help of local donors, volunteers and contractors like Angwin-based Bunch Construction and St. Helena-based T&O Masonry — as well as insurance payouts.
The new building is about 500 square feet bigger than the old one and more efficiently laid out, Church said.
The project is about $50,000 short of its fundraising goal, Church said. Donors can call the Haven SDA Church at 707-963-1497, email liveschanging@thehaven.church , or mail a check made out to “The Haven SDA Church Rebuild Fund” to 15 Woodland Road, St. Helena, CA 94574.

The successful Nashville event was focused on the future of telemedicine.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Avel eCare's first annual Customer Forum and Innovation Summit was successfully held in Nashville, TN, on August 14-16, 2022. The summit brought thought leaders from across the country together to share insights and perspectives on innovations in telemedicine and the future of healthcare delivery.
"We've established the value of telemedicine as a care delivery vehicle – that is clear. Now, it's time to explore opportunities for how to drive innovation moving forward. We've only scratched the surface of what's possible. This event was an opportunity for our customers, industry experts, and policy leaders to get together to exchange knowledge and share their vision for telemedicine in years to come," said Avel eCare CEO, Doug Duskin.
Click HERE to read a blog post from Doug where he goes into more detail about the Forum and his vision for the future of telemedicine.
The event kicked off with a special address from Marsha Blackburn, U.S. Senator from Tennessee. Following the keynote, a range of customers and industry thought leaders took the stage to share use cases, best practices, and perspectives on topics such as how telemedicine can help fill vital gaps in care, alleviate staff burnout, and ensure access to clinicians and specialists for patients in rural and underserved areas.
Sessions on the agenda included:
- Expanding Access and Improving Outcomes with Tele-behavioral Health
- Cybersecurity - Protecting your Systems to Protect your Patients
- New Era of Critical Care: Critical Care on Demand
Also included in the lineup was an examination of the telehealth waivers, licensing flexibilities, disaster credentialing, and common policy challenges healthcare organizations face when launching and scaling a telemedicine program.
Customers who attended the forum represented 23 different healthcare organizations and facilities, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One guest remarked, "the Avel eCare Customer Forum was a terrific event, providing tons of opportunities to learn, share, and interact with folks across healthcare ecosystems."
Avel eCare plans on continuing this forum annually and is already finalizing details for the 2023 event.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Airborne shark lands on teen fishing in boat
ST. GEORGE, Maine (WGME) - It’s a fish tale you must see to believe: A mako shark jumped onto a fishing boat off the coast of Maine, and it was caught on camera.
David Sinclair runs Sea Ventures charters out of Saint George, taking clients out to fish for sharks that they then get to see up close and help tag.
His 16-year-old grandson, Cameron Sinclair, is his first mate.
“I believe I caught my first shark when I was 4 years old,” Cameron said.
They mostly encounter blue sharks, but 15 to 20 miles out to sea on one August day, it was a 7-foot mako.
“All of a sudden something took the bait,” Cameron said. “Really big, really fast, and he jumped. We knew he was a mako instantly.”
“It’s on a fishing line with a young man, 16-year-old guy, turning the rod, having fun fighting it,” David Sinclair said. “And it jumped four times before it got to the boat, and the next thing we knew he fell out of the sky and landed in the boat.”
The moment was captured by the angler’s dad, who was up on the bridge with his camera.
“All of a sudden here he is right here in my face, and he hits me with his tail right on my left cheek and lands maybe three feet from my left foot.” Cameron said.
David Sinclair says makos are fast fish with big teeth.
“Everybody scrambled, and I just held my breath,” he said. “I thought, ‘Boy, injuries are a high possibility.’ Not a scratch on anybody; the shark was not injured.”
With everyone all right, he says they took some measurements, tagged the shark then released it through the transom door.
“Just awe inspiring to see the power of a fish like that and be able handle it safely and kick him out,” David Sinclair said.
A rather routine ending to an unforgettable fishing trip.
“Seeing one right here in my face falling out of the sky was pretty impressive,” Cameron said.

ANALYSIS-China poised to shake up economic leadership as reformers bow out
By Kevin Yao
BEIJING, Sept 14 (Reuters) - China's ruling Communist Party sets the stage next month for the biggest overhaul of its economic leadership in a decade, with a generation of reform-minded policymakers expected to step down amid worsening growth prospects.
Beijing's once-in-five years reshuffle begins at the party congress that starts Oct. 16, where President Xi Jinping is poised to break with precedent and secure a third leadership term.
While top government officials remain in posts until the annual parliament meeting, usually in March, expected the party conclave will offer clues on who is in line for top posts and identify who succeeds Li Keqiang, who steps down in March after two terms as premier, a position tasked with managing the world's No.2 economy.
Li is widely perceived to have seen his role diminished under Xi but has nonetheless been a source of comfort to investors who view him as a moderate voice amid Xi's shift towards state-driven economic management.
"Li's power has been limited but at least he was appointed at the same time as Xi. His successor could be even weaker," said a policy insider who spoke on condition of anonymity, given the sensitivity of the matter.
"Under the existing political structure, whoever takes over (as premier) will not make a big difference," the person said.
In addition to Li, 70-year-old economic czar Liu He and top banking regulator Guo Shuqing, 66, are also likely to step down early next year, policy sources said, with Xi, 69, expected to maintain retirement age norms for leaders other than himself.
Retirement age for top leaders is conventionally 68 or two five-year terms.
Li, 67, has a doctorate in economics from the elite Peking University and speaks fluent English.
Liu, a vice premier and Harvard-trained economist, is a close confidant of Xi and his point man in trade talks with Washington. He is seen as the brains behind earlier reforms, including painful efforts to reduce excess factory capacity and financial risks.
LIMITED ROOM
China's next economic team, by contrast, may be dominated by domestically groomed Xi loyalists who lack the international savvy, academic polish and independent-mindedness of the current team, policy insiders and analysts say.
Two front-runners to replace Li are Wang Yang, 67, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, an advisory body, and Vice Premier Hu Chunhua, 59.
While both Wang and Hu served stints leading the economic powerhouse of Guangdong province and are seen as pragmatic, pro-reform officials, their capacity to make major changes could be limited, policy insiders said.
Other longer-shot possibilities for premier include Chongqing party boss Chen Miner and his Shanghai counterpart Li Qiang, they said. Both are considered Xi loyalists.
He Lifeng, who heads the National Development and Reform Commission, the powerful state planning agency, is a leading candidate to replace Liu, policy insiders said. An economist and bureaucrat with close Xi ties, He worked for 25 years in Fujian province.
In late 2013, a newly elevated Xi unveiled sweeping reform plans but market liberalisation has since lost steam.
"The 20th Party Congress has plenty of room for choosing a new economic team," said Bert Hofman, director of the East Asian Institute at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore.
"If that team is a technocratic one that pursues a pragmatic agenda to achieve the broad goals outlined by Xi, we can see much of the unfinished reform agenda of the 2013 decisions resurface again, and hopefully see growth reignited," said Hofman, former country director for China at the World Bank.
"If, on the other hand, the new team reflects a more statist approach, growth may continue to drag."
MOUNTING CHALLENGES
The new economic team will inherit unprecedented challenges, from finding an exit from what many see as an increasingly unsustainable zero-COVID policy to a property crisis threatening financial stability and rising tensions with Washington.
A chaotic clampdown on tech firms and private education, which shattered investor and business confidence, prompted Li and Liu to voice support for the so-called platform economy.
"In the face of mounting internal and external challenges, the Chinese government's attention seems to have been drawn away from its reform agenda," said Joerg Wuttke, president of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China. The chamber plans to issue a paper making nearly 1,000 recommendations for improving conditions for European firms in China, ahead of the congress.
"The Chamber believes the best way for China to fulfil its economic potential is by getting back to the path of reform and opening," he said.
With few signs China will significantly ease zero-COVID soon, some analysts expect the economy to grow by just 3% this year, which would be the slowest since 1976, excluding the 2.2% expansion during the initial COVID hit in 2020.
Li, who has fought an uphill battle to keep the economy on an even keel while pushing limited changes, appears keen to leave his mark on the public memory as a reformer.
During a visit to Shenzhen, a village-turned-megacity and the symbolic birthplace of reforms that unleashed four decades of breakneck growth, Li said that trend is irreversible.
"China's reform and opening-up will continue to move on. The Yellow River and Yangtze River will not flow backward," he said at Shenzhen's Yantian Port last month.
A video of the remarks posted on social media was later removed.

Today Thirdwave is launching out of stealth with $7M in seed funding led by Framework Ventures
Today Thirdwave the blockchain discovery engine, announced its launch out of stealth and $7M in seed funding. Thirdwave focuses on providing business data and insights and enabling game developers to better understand, find, and retain customers.
Today's newly announced seed round was led by Framework Ventures , a VC firm known for its early entry into blockchain gaming (GameFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The round was also supported by other leading investors including Animoca Brands , Play Ventures , Shima Capital , Hustle Fund , and Oceans Ventures .
The blockchain environment – especially in the gaming world – has no window into the industry or customer insights that builders need. Therefore, Thirdwave has designed and built a platform that provides web3 companies, projects, DAOs, and protocols with this information for the first time. The Thirdwave product exists at the intersection of community, social, and on-chain data, giving web3 teams the first three-dimensional view into their customer analytics.
Thirdwave's founding team is composed of experts that have built and executed on many of the products that powered web2's shift from desktop to mobile. Co-founders, Peter Jonas and Matt Lorenzen , led the core team that launched and ran much of the games and mobile app strategy at Facebook, growing it into a global multibillion dollar business unit.
"We believe this wave of innovation represents one of the greatest opportunities in the history of gaming," shared Thirdwave's Co-Founder, Peter Jonas . "Blockchain offers game developers and players shared ownership and as a result true alignment for the first time. Despite this incredible opportunity in front of the industry much of the infrastructure needed for developers to be successful has yet to be built – this is where Thirdwave comes in."
Thirdwave is creating key infrastructure and tools that will give game developers and web3 builders a deeper understanding of the market they compete in, a clearer view of the customers they care about, and a tangible way to attract and retain high value customers.
Over the next decade, gaming will be one of the largest onramps for new people entering the blockchain space. Currently there are 3.2B + gamers worldwide, a demographic almost 10x greater than the number of current global cryptocurrency owners. In order for blockchain gaming projects to be successful, someone must build the proper infrastructure and that's where Thirdwave comes in. Thirdwave is the only company in the space transforming raw data – including on-chain activity, customer data, social channel data, website analytics, industry benchmarks, and more – into insights that businesses need.
Here's what Michael Anderson , Partner and the Co–Founder at Framework Ventures, shared on why he invested, "Today's web3 developers don't have access to meaningful customer data insights, which in turn creates major inefficiencies in the building process" said Michael Anderson , co-founder of Framework Ventures. "With their past experience building and scaling data discovery engines for consumer giants like Facebook, we think Thirdwave is positioned to give web3 projects, especially in the gamefi space, the ability to truly understand their users."
Thirdwave will use this new seed funding for building out key elements of their discovery engine. This includes scaling and data features, which will further shape the level of insights customers have access to providing more sophisticated on-chain analytics, deep community, and data web integrations, benchmarking tools, and project specific dashboards.
Over the coming months, Thirdwave will be sharing more updates on their effort to accelerate the transition to the ownership economy. To follow along and learn more about Thirdwave's product, mission, and vision please visit https://thirdwavelabs.com/ .
Get the insights you need. Take the actions that matter. Thirdwave enables teams to understand, find, and retain their best customers by providing key infrastructure and tools to drive growth with the first blockchain discovery engine.
Thirdwave is backed by leading investors such as Framework Ventures , Animoca Brands , Play Ventures , Shima Capital , Hustle Fund , and Oceans Ventures . For more information please visit thirdwavelabs.com , and connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter .

Mpango issues directive over Lake Zone cancer cases
Wednesday September 14 2022
Mwanza. The Vice President, Dr Philip Mpango, has instructed the ministry of Health to conduct a study and establish the reasons behind high cancer cases in the Lake Zone.
Gracing the inauguration of the Bugando Cancer Centre (BCC) at the Bugando Medical Centre (BMC) yesterday, Dr Mpango instructed the ministry of Health to provide Sh500 million to BMC to fund the ongoing cancer research with the aim of identifying why the Lake Zone regions have high cancer cases.
“It is important to conduct a research considering that the Lake Zone has manycancer patients. I urge other stakeholders to contribute funds in that research in order to identify the cause of the problem and come up with suggestions which will lead us to solutions that will endcancer problems in the Lake Zone regions” said Dr Mpango.
Though he did not directly compare cancer cases in the Lake Zone to other zones within the country, Dr Mpango said that statistics show that over 45,000 people were being treated of various cancer types at Bugando each year.
He also urged Tanzanians to avoid the use of alcohol and tobacco and that they should cultivate a culture of making physical exercises to fight cancer.
The new facility at the BCC, which has been built at a total cost of Sh5.6 billion will accommodate 120 cancer in-patients per day.
Dr Mpango also directed the Health ministry to provide Sh3.1 billion to the BMC in order to fund the purchase of one of the cancer treatment machines.
The BMC Director General, Dr Fabian Massaga said that despite the completion of the building, the hospital still faces a shortage of equipment worth Sh15 billion in order to provide better cancer treatment.
Dr Massaga said over 55,000 cancer patients received chemotherapy and 2,500 radiation therapy last year.
“11,000 citizens have been given cancer awareness training in Mwanza region in 2021. This has increased the number of people attending for cancer check-up hence enabling us to identify new cancer cases,” said Dr Massaga.
Regarding the research, Dr Massaga said the hospital’s researchers have collected blood samples from eight regions which are stored at Bugando laboratory for further examination.
“Until now we have samples from eight Lake Zone regions, they have been stored in the hospital’s laboratory and the research is ongoing, when it is completed we will reveal the outcomes,” he said.
On his side, the Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Godwin Mollel said the government has allocated Sh6 billion to Mwanza region to buy medicine while BMC received Sh2.1 billion to purchase of MRI machine.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Voting opened Wednesday on which toys should go into the National Toy Hall of Fame this year. The class of 2022 finalists are: bingo, Breyer Horses, Catan, Lite-Brite, Nerf Toys, Masters of the Universe, piñata, Phase 10, Pound Puppies, Rack-O, Spirograph, and the top.
“These 12 toys span the history of play. The top is as old as civilization itself and bingo has been played in some form for hundreds of years,” said Christopher Bensch, vice president for collections at The Strong museum in Rochester, where the hall of fame is housed.
The public is invited to vote online through Sept. 21. The three toys that receive the most public votes will make up a single “Player's Choice” ballot. That ballot will be counted alongside those turned in by a national selection committee whose members include industry experts, academics and others.
The inductees will be announced Nov. 10.
“All 12 of these toys have what it takes to be contenders for the class of 2022,” Bensch said.
Anyone can nominate a toy for the annual honor, but to be recognized by the hall of fame, toys have to have achieved icon status, longevity and foster learning or discovery. They also must have changed play or toy design.
The National Toy Hall of Fame opened at The Strong in 1998. So far, 77 toys have been inducted, from simple favorites like the paper airplane, bubbles and sidewalk chalk to the even more ubiquitous, including the stick and cardboard box.
Last year's honorees were American Girl Dolls, Risk, and sand.

Australia in its "moral duty" would pay compensation to developing countries battered by climate change-fuelled natural disasters under a push by Pacific Island nations.
A report released by Oxfam Australia on Thursday calls on the nation to support financing a global loss and damage fund, where wealthy countries would stump up cash for poorer countries to help them manage the damage bill in a bid for "equitable" solutions.
"Australia is also experiencing the devastating consequences of climate change, however ... we have also contributed significantly towards causing the climate crisis, which means we have a moral duty to support low-income countries to respond to worsening climate impacts," the report reads.
The report says for Australia to restore its international reputation, the federal government "should work towards a bold and progressive climate finance and loss and damage agenda that is underpinned by the principle of climate justice".
The research found Australia was providing just one-tenth of its "fair share" of international climate funding.
It was calculated the nation's contribution should be $4 billion each year, as part of a US $100 billion fund to support vulnerable communities respond to climate change.
According to the report, Australia's contributions are averaged at $400 million each year between 2020 and 2025.
It says the nation should pledge to increase its funding to $3 billion over the same period ahead of the global climate summit in Egypt in November.
International Development and the Pacific Minister Pat Conroy said the government was "working constructively" on the issue of financing loss and damage.
"Australia is the largest humanitarian donor to the Pacific region, and we will continue to work with Pacific partners to prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters, including to build back better," he said.
Last year at COP26, the government promised to raise its climate finance to $2 billion between 2020-2025, including $700 million for climate change and disaster resilience in the Pacific.
Former Kiribati president Anote Tong said Australia needed to become a "leader" for financing loss and damage, with the issue back on the agenda after stalling at the United Nations climate change conference in Glasgow last year.
"Australia has been one of our biggest development partners, but if it's going to galvanise the rest of the global community, which needs to happen, then they've got to take this step," he said.
George Koran, from the Vanuatu Climate Action Network, said climate justice was key to Australia's relationship with its Pacific neighbours.
"Pacific people want Australia to step up its roles and responsibilities in terms of climate change, because that is the only issue for us in the Pacific," he said.
"We are not too concerned about military occupation, we are more concerned about climate change."
Oxfam Australia chief executive Lyn Morgain said Australians produced eight times as much carbon emissions each year as Pacific Islanders.
"We can help achieve this and make a significant difference to the lives of people impacted by climate change by increasing climate finance," she said.

Ayu must resign for peace to reign in PDP - Makinde tells Atiku
Makinde said the PDP needs to unify itself before it can unify the country.
Recommended articles
Makinde said this when he received the party's presidential flag-bearer, Atiku Abubakar, at the South-West PDP stakeholders meeting in Ibadan on Wednesday, September 14, 2022.
Why is this important: Recall that the PDP has been embroiled in an internal turmoil since the conclusion of its presidential convention which produced Atiku as the winner.
The former Vice-President's emergence has ensured that the party's flag-bearer and National Chairman are both from the Northern part of the country, a development which hasn't gone down well with some stakeholders from the South.
Ayu must go: Makinde, together with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has insisted that Ayu must leave his current position for someone from the South to step in to correct the imbalance, but the chairman has remained adamant.
Makinde doubled down: During his welcome address at the Wednesday meeting with Atiku, the Oyo state Governor restated the position of the South-West over the crisis in the party.
Makinde, who described Atiku as “the incoming President of Nigeria in 2023,” said the PDP must first of all practice the unity agenda it hopes to sell to Nigeria.
Makinde's word: “The truth is that we do not have any issue either with our party or our candidate. If there are challenges they must be tabled.
“We are supposed to give hope to our people, we want them to listen to us.
"Our party wants to rescue Nigeria and our candidate is a unifier. He wants to restructure Nigeria.
“Eight years of the All Progressives Congress have left us sharply divided. The issue is we must practice what we preach. If we want to unify Nigeria, we must unify the PDP first.
“If we want to restructure Nigeria, we must have the willingness to bring inclusivity to the PDP. Do we have the capacity? The answer is resounding yes.
“The message from the South-West PDP is the South-West is asking that the National Working Committee of the PDP should be restructured.
“We are asking the National Chairman to step down so that the South will be fully included. That is the message.”

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Trudy Le Beau has voted in every major election since she turned 18 — a half-century of civic participation that has gotten increasingly difficult as her multiple sclerosis progressed. Now, with no use of her arms or legs, the Wisconsin woman relies on her husband to help her fill out and return a ballot.
This year, it seemed for the first time that the 68-year-old would have to choose between her physical health and voting.
After the Wisconsin Supreme Court outlawed ballot drop boxes in July, the state’s top election official cited a state law that said voters had to place their own absentee ballots in the mail or return them to clerks in person.
“I certainly don’t want to send my husband to jail because he put my ballot in the mailbox,” Le Beau said. “I would have to find some way of putting my ballot in my teeth and carrying it to the clerk’s office.”
Fortunately for Le Beau, she and other Wisconsin voters with disabilities can get the help they need to return their ballots this November after a federal judge last month ruled that the Voting Rights Act, which allows for voter assistance, trumps state law.
In other states, however, battles continue over ballot assistance and other voting laws that harm voters with disabilities. As voters push back, challenges have arisen in the past two years to laws and practices in at least eight states that make it difficult or impossible for people with certain disabilities to vote.
A federal judge in June struck down voter assistance restrictions in sweeping changes to election laws passed by Texas Republicans last year that in part limited the help that voters with disabilities or limited English proficiency could get. Under the law, a voter could only receive assistance reading or marking a ballot, not returning one.
In July in North Carolina, a federal judge blocked state laws that limited people with disabilities to receiving ballot assistance only from a close relative or legal guardian. Restrictions on ballot assistance still stand in several other states, including Kansas, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri. In Missouri, an ongoing lawsuit challenges a 1977 state law that says no one can assist more than one voter per election.
A Kansas judge in April dismissed parts of a lawsuit challenging voter assistance restrictions, saying the state’s interest in preventing voter fraud outweighed concerns about voters who may not get the assistance they need.
But such anti-fraud measures — a major push by Republicans since former President Donald Trump's false claims of a stolen election in 2020 — don't affect everyone equally.
“Voting restrictions aimed at the general public can have a disparate impact on people with disabilities,” said Jess Davidson, communications director for the American Association of People with Disabilities.
Voters and state agencies in Alaska, New York and Alabama have also raised challenges to absentee voting programs that don’t provide accessible ballots for people with visual impairments or disabilities that make it difficult to fill out a print ballot privately. Advocacy groups in New York reached a settlement in April that requires the state elections board to create a program for disabled voters to fill out and print accessible online ballots.
Wisconsin voters with disabilities expressed frustration at having to fight for equal voting rights when federal law already lays out specific provisions for accessibility.
“This whole issue was absolutely ridiculous to start out with. It shouldn’t matter if you need assistance returning your ballot,” said Stacy Ellingen.
Ellingen, 37, has athetoid spastic cerebral palsy because of complications at birth. She lives in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and with no accessible transportation options, absentee voting is the only way she can cast a ballot. She said if it weren't for the ruling handed down two weeks ago, she wouldn’t have been able to vote this fall.
“I’m not going to risk having caregivers get in trouble for putting my ballot in the mailbox. Especially when we have such a caregiver shortage,” she said.
Republican lawmakers have yet to offer any resistance to the Wisconsin ruling. But Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, a law firm that frequently litigates for conservative causes, raised concern that the ruling could perpetuate fraud. They unsuccessfully pressed the Wisconsin Elections Commission to require anyone returning a ballot on someone else’s behalf to sign a statement saying the voter has a disability and requires assistance.
Davidson, of the American Association of People with Disabilities, called the argument that voter assistance will lead to fraud “simply inaccurate, and motivated by anti-democratic interests.”
Martha Chambers was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident 27 years ago. She uses her mouth to hold pens, paintbrushes and mouth sticks, which allow her to use a computer. Chambers also relies on a power wheelchair to get around.
Because she can't use her arms, she's unable to return her own ballot to a mailbox or polling location. A caregiver returned her ballot in Wisconsin's August primary, and Chambers said she joined the lawsuit so it wouldn't be illegal in future elections for caregivers to give such help.
“Why did we even have to go through all of this to begin with? Our lives are difficult enough with the challenges that we have on a daily basis,” she said.

As Judge approaches milestone, what counts more: 61 or 73?
NEW YORK (AP) — To some, Aaron Judge’s season has a special sheen because he appears to be Mr. Clean.
They would consider Judge the record-holder if he surpasses Roger Maris’ 61 homers, absent the steroids stain sticking to the tainted trio of Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.
“To me, the holder of the record for home runs in a season is Roger Maris,” author George Will said. “There’s no hint of suspicion that we’re seeing better baseball than better chemistry in the case of Judge. He’s clean. He’s not doing something that forces other players to jeopardize their health.”
Bonds' 73 and other Steroids Era peaks are viewed by critics as phantoms, totals as inflated as the biceps of those bulked up hitters.
Judge entered Monday with 55 homers through the New York Yankees’ first 141 games, leaving 21 games to go. Judge towers over everyone else, and not just because he is 6-foot-7: Kyle Schwarber is second in homers with 37 for Philadelphia.
Judge has hit 22,676 feet of home runs this year — 4.29 miles — with an average distance of 412 feet, according to MLB Statcast.
“Judge is like Secretariat in the Belmont,” broadcaster Bob Costas said, thinking back to the Triple Crown-winning 31-length victory in 1973. “He’s percentages above everyone else. It’s downplayed now — he’s hitting .300, so he’s a classic great player. The great players have power and average. Well, he’s doing that. And in the context of this season and in this era, that’s really something. And he certainly should have in any reasonable person’s mind put the most valuable argument for this year to bed."
With his black matte Chandler model maple bat, Judge is hitting .307 with 121 RBIs — 12 more than anyone else.
Up until the 1990s, baseball’s great debate was whether whether Maris’ 1961 season should count as the record because he played more games.
Ruth’s 60 in 1927 stood as the standard for 34 years. Maris’ mark lasted 37 until Mark McGwire hit 70 in 1998, part of an apparently juiced jolt that saw Sammy Sosa hit 66. McGwire followed with 65 the next year as Sosa hit 63. Power peaked in 2001, when Barry Bonds hit a previously unfathomable 73 and Sosa 64.
"Personally, I think that those records are tainted, and therefore I’m rooting very much for Judge,” former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent said. "I think he’s absolutely clean. I don’t think there’s any performance-enhancing drug involvement or taint with Judge. And so I think one of the reasons his performance is so illuminating and so compelling is that it’s totally clean.”
Since drug testing with penalties started in 2004, the highest total has been Giancarlo Stanton’s 59 for Miami in 2017.
“Fans, writers, Hall of Fame voters, all those groups that matter are going to make their own judgments about how his accomplishments should be weighed against other players who may have been disclosed as using performance-enhancing drugs,” current Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “They’re going to place appropriate weight on those performances. I have found Judge’s performance to be as compelling and captivating as any as I’ve ever seen.”
Maris’ legitimacy was debated because the American League schedule increased to 162 games in 1961 following expansion. With Maris at 35 homers, then-Commissioner Ford Frick decided that July 17 that if anyone topped Ruth in more than 154 games “there would have to be some distinctive mark in the record books to show that Babe Ruth’s record was set under a 154-game schedule."
That “distinctive mark” became known as an “asterisk” and it remained until Sept. 4, 1991, when a committee on statistical accuracy chaired by Vincent voted unanimously to recognize Maris as the record-holder.
At 30, Judge has an impeccable reputation in an era during which each player is tested for performance-enhancing drugs during spring training and is subject to random tests during the season and offseason.
McGwire admitted in 2010 he used steroids while breaking Maris' record. Bonds and Sosa maintain they never knowingly used banned substances.
“Nobody thought that when Hank Aaron hit 715 that he was a better home run hitter than Babe Ruth, but he had surpassed Ruth's record. No one thinks that Pete Rose in his time was a better hitter than Ty Cobb, but he passed Cobb’s record — authentically," Costas said. "People put the steroid stuff in a different category because it’s obvious, it’s a cluster of half a decade that this stuff happens. And it isn’t just the three of them. You’ve got other guys hitting 50 homers or guys hitting 45 homers who previously hit 18. Everyone understands that, at least everyone who pays attention. And so if Judge winds up hitting 65, that’s different than McGwire or Sosa hitting 65."
Changes in the sport mean players faced different conditions. Ruth started in the dead ball era, Maris played at the dawn of expansion, Judge faces pitchers throwing harder than ever before.
“It’s a dead end, it seems to me, to keep comparing eras," Will said. ”Ruth didn't play against African-Americans. Ruth didn't play night games and have transcontinental travel and all the rest. Judge is a lot bigger, then pitchers are a lot bigger. ... You judge people against what they do against their peers.”

In a landmark move, President Joe Biden said he is going to forgive up to $20,000 of student loans, affecting approximately 20 million Americans, a majority of which are Black Americans with student loan debt. The next step is to apply for the student loan forgiveness program, but not everyone will qualify.
Here's what you should know about the program that has Republicans calling it unfair or threatening to challenge the legality.
Who qualifies
- People who make under $120,000 or households that makes less than $250,000 can have $10,000 forgiven.
- A federal student loan holder.
- If you received a Pell Grant recipient with Department of Education loans, you can qualify for $20,000 loan forgiveness.
There is a small group of people who can't apply for student loan forgiveness if they received a private loan. That's about 8% of student loan holders, according to a 2021 report.
When can I apply?
Next month. That's nebulous but Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona tweeted out on September 5 that the application will open up in "early October." In the meantime, you can sign up at the Federal Student Aid website to make sure all your information is up to date.
People must apply before November 15 to be eligible for loan forgiveness before the December payment pause ends. The White House said that "the application will be available no later than when the pause on federal student loan repayments terminates at the end of the year."
What if I don't qualify?
You should consider getting in touch with your private loan provider and refinance for a lower interest rate and payment. There are also other loan forgiveness programs and payment assistance. Here are a few.
- Public Service Loan Forgiveness for government employees.
- Teacher Loan Forgiveness.

What is a Pell Grant?
Pell Grant is a term you probably read or heard a lot about when it comes to student loan forgiveness, but you may not know exactly what that is or if you received one. A Pell Grant, simply put, is financial assistance received from the U.S. government based on your income that does not have to be repaid.
You can check if you received a Pell Grant by logging in to StudentAid.gov.
When the White House announced the loan forgiveness program, it said that Pell Grants used to cover about 80% of the cost of a four-year public college tuition, but now it only covers a third of college costs.
Republican pushback
On Tuesday, September 13, 22 Republican governors, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, sent a letter to the White House asking Biden to call off the student loan forgiveness program because it saddles taxpayers with student debt. They also said that it was unfair to people who paid off their student loans.
They also say that Biden lacks "the authority to wield unilateral action to usher in a sweeping student loan cancellation plan."

In the June primary election, we strongly endorsed former Long Beach police Chief Robert Luna for sheriff of Los Angeles County.
In the November general election for which he has emerged as the key challenger to disastrous current Sheriff Alex Villanueva, we strongly endorse Luna again.
We noted then that we believe it is time for a change at the top in county law enforcement. Plain and simple, Sheriff Villanueva has proven on numerous fronts to be incapable of doing the crucial job in a sensible manner.
In the months since the primary, Villanueva has only reinforced the clear fact that his vindictive, personality-based, go-it-alone approach to policing and to politics is, to put it mildly, the wrong fit for the job. He continues to lash out at his fellow elected county colleagues on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, all of whom have endorsed Luna for sheriff. He refuses to cooperate with the oversight of Inspector General Max Huntsman. He blows off subpoenas to appear before the Civilian Oversight Commission. In a dangerous challenge to free speech and the press, he launched a smear campaign against a reporter who covers his office objectively. He has to go.
In a recent editorial board interview, Luna noted that “Villanueva can’t go five days without being in the news, in a bad way. It’s almost like a TV reality show — a bad one.”
Luna has concrete plans: “The first thing that I’m going to focus on is reducing crime and making our streets safer. We are going to hire the best people — job No. 1 is keeping people safe. You can’t reduce crime unless you are working very hard to restore public trust and credibility. I will bring new leadership and accountability, and all of my employees will be held accountable. I will assemble a team of the best and the brightest — it’s about integrity. You have to be loyal to the oath of our office. Sometimes people forget about that. I will not forget.”
Luna’s goal is “to repair all the damaged relationships this man has destroyed, relationships across the board — with the people, the Board of Supervisors, community groups, the oversight organizations — no more us vs. them mentality. I want to hire an independent entity to do a top-to-bottom assessment of the Sheriff’s Department: the budget, the way we investigate.”
On deputy gangs that plague the department: “The first thing is you acknowledge the problem, which he won’t do. Then you fix it. … Let’s roll up our sleeves. Let’s reduce crime through community partnerships, through data, through cooperation. Let’s stop blaming.”
Let’s elect Robert Luna to do just that.

Jackson and Johnson shine in early going for Monmouth-Roseville Titans
MONMOUTH — The Monmouth-Roseville football team found its way last season, but not before a humbling 42-7 loss to Kewanee in the opener.
That made this year’s game against the Boilermakers that much sweeter, as M-R emerged from its first night of action with a 22-16 victory, keyed by the performances of a pair of seniors.
From their running back position, Jerome Jackson and CJ Johnson combined for 252 yards of offense. Jackson, who scored three TDs, added seven tackles on defense, while Johnson made 16 stops from his linebacker spot, adding a sack and a key interception that helped seal the victory.
The Titans have gone on to suffer narrow losses against Hall and Morrison, but Jackson and Johnson are still putting up big numbers. Through three games, the duo has rushed for 232 and 238 yards, respectively. Johnson had added 175 receiving yards and made 47 tackles.
“This year, CJ is the best defensive player on the field,” said M-R head coach Jeremy Adolphson. “His size, speed and instincts allow him to make plays that I’ve seen very few times in my 24 years of coaching.”
Interception by Johnson in opener impactful
It might not have been his hardest play of the night against Kewanee, but the interception by the 6-foot-1, 175-pound senior was the most impactful. With Kewanee driving in the fourth quarter to tie or take the lead, Johnson stepped in front of a Boilermakers' pass. All the Titans needed to do from there to salt the game away was post a first down, which they did.
“On that play, I had their running back, and he came out of the backfield for a route,” Johnson said. “Their quarterback was scrambling, and I just stood in front of the running back and picked it off.”
Johnson also made 16 tackles.
“Last year against Kewanee, I came out with a concussion,” he said. “This year, even though they’re not exactly the same team, we wanted to prove to them that we were better than them. I don’t like losing. Early on, every time I made a tackle, it felt like they went down pretty easy. I thought, ‘This could be fun.’ I knew right then that they weren’t better than us.”
“CJ made tremendous strides during his junior year playing multiple positions on offense and developing into one of our best overall players,” Adolphson said. “This year he will take over the feature role at running back,” which has led to him having 50 touches from scrimmage so far this season.
Johnson even got in the act on another highlight play from the game — Jackson’s 65-yard run, which was featured on a TV newscast’s highlight package that night.
Jackson demonstrates big play potential
“On my last touchdown, I took a pitch to the outside,” said Jackson. “I cut it up and just outran everybody. CJ was the lead blocker.”
Johnson remembers the play well.
“He juked a defender, and he was off to the races,” he said. “Nobody’s going to catch him. He’s the fastest guy on the team.”
Johnson said the speedster is good to have on the squad for other reasons, as well.
“He’s pretty goofy, but in a funny way,” he said. “Maybe he’ll do a little dance after scoring a touchdown, and we get hyped together before games.”
Jackson’s coach appreciates his big-play potential.
“Jerome played his first year of high school football last year,” said Adolphson of the 6-1, 180-pounder. “He made an immediate impact on our defense and was selected first team all-conference. This year, he will be a much bigger part of our offense, as shown against Kewanee. He has the capability to score every time he touches the ball.”
And he nearly did in the opener, totaling three TDs on just six offensive touches. His long TD capped a 123-yard rushing night on just four carries. He also caught two passes for 19 yards, including a scoring strike from classmate Silas Braun.
“We knew we could hang with them, and then after they scored their first touchdown, they stopped scoring,” said Jackson, who hadn’t yet attended enough practices last season to suit up versus Kewanee.
Johnson split his 110 yards against Kewanee fairly evenly, a trend he continued in the Titans’ next two games. Jackson was asked to talk up his backfield mate.
“He’s fast, too, and he’s one of the strongest kids on the team,” he said of Johnson. “He’s a good kid. He’s got a bright future ahead of him.”
Titans look to rally from a 1-2 record to make playoffs
The Titans might, too. A year ago, M-R rallied from an 0-1 start to reach the playoffs. This year, they’ll have to overcome their current 1-2 record.
“I feel like we can go pretty far,” said Jackson. “I think we can go deep in the playoffs. We’re pretty athletic this year, and we’re pretty deep.”
Johnson agrees.
“I think we can go to the playoffs,” he said. “We’ve got more athletes than most teams. If we play hard, nobody’s going to beat us.”
Next up for the Titans this Friday night is a matchup at winless Sherrard. Although the Tigers will enter the game with an 0-3 record, they’ve been more competitive this season, as evidenced by seven- and six-point losses the past two weeks.
Looking beyond the football season, Jackson and Johnson will also team up for the Titans’ basketball team this winter, and they’ll be active in the spring, as well. Johnson is a standout on the baseball team, while Jackson runs track. They both plan to continue their athletic careers in college, and their physical talents give them options.
“I haven’t decided yet,” said Johnson. “I’m going to do the one I have the most fun at this year.”
Academically, he plans to pursue a degree that will lead to a sales career, perhaps in the areas of medicine or agriculture.
Jackson is hoping to continue his football career at the next level while studying business or marketing.
“I want to get into investments and eventually have my own business — maybe in something like shoes or clothing,” he said.

Name of Product: thyssenkrupp Access Corp. Residential Elevators
Hazard: Children can become entrapped in the space between the exterior hoistway door and the elevator car door or gate and suffer serious injury or death if the elevator is called to another floor.
Remedy: Inspect, Repair
Consumer Contact: TKA at 800-285-9862 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at the TKA Home Elevator Safety Program at https://homelevator-safety.com or by emailing info@homelevator-safety.com.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that it settled an administrative lawsuit against thyssenkrupp Access Corp. (TKA), now known as TK Access Solutions Corp., of Grandview, Missouri. The lawsuit, filed in July 2021, involves home or residential elevators under a variety of TKA-owned model names, including Chaparral, Destiny, LEV, LEV II, LEV II Builder, Rise, Volant, Windsor, Independence, and Flexi-Lift that TKA manufactured and sold to dealers for installation in homes between approximately 1996 and 2012.
There have been three incidents involving these elevators, including a 2-year old child who died in 2017 and a 2010 incident that left a 3-year old child permanently disabled.
As part of the settlement, TKA is recalling to inspect the elevators, providing free inspections, and, if necessary, free installation of safety devices, known as space guards, at no charge to consumers.
The consent agreement, which was approved by a vote of 4-1, resolves charges that the elevators present a hazard because children can become entrapped in the space between the exterior hoistway door and the elevator car door or gate and suffer serious injury or death if the elevator is called to another floor.
Homeowners should immediately contact TKA for a free inspection and free installation of the free space guard(s), if necessary, by calling toll-free at 800-285-9862 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at the TKA Home Elevator Safety Program at https://homelevator-safety.com or by emailing info@homelevator-safety.com. Alternatively, TKA will provide inspection and installation instructions directly to homeowners who do not wish to have an installer come into their home.
Until the inspection and installation of space guards has been completed, homeowners should prevent children living in or visiting their homes from accessing a residential elevator.
The settlement of this matter does not constitute a determination by the Commission, or an admission by TKA, that the elevators contain a defect or present a substantial product hazard. About 16,800 residential elevators, sold for between $15,000 and $25,000 for a two-landing installation, were manufactured and distributed by ThyssenKrupp Access Manufacturing, LLC, thyssenkrupp Access Corp., Access Industries, or National Wheel-O-Vator through 2012.

For the upcoming holiday shopping season, consumers are expected to spend more than they did last year as inflation and interest rate hikes shape how and where they shop. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, U.S. retail sales (excluding automotive) are pegged to increase by 7.1 percent on a year-over-year basis — which is less than the sales gain seen last year.
The Mastercard report, along with several other separate reports, reveals a consumer mindset that is more cautious and frugal even as national news paints a more optimistic picture.
“Economic headlines are becoming more positive than just a few months ago,” authors of the Mastercard report noted. “There has been inflation relief, continued consumer spending with jobs holding strong, and the Fed remains laser-focused on combatting inflation, with more rate hikes to come.”
The holiday spending outlook is framed by recent government data that shows strong gains in consumer prices. The Labor Department said August’s pricing data on food was up 11.4 percent, while energy costs were up 23.8 percent. Pricing on apparel, footwear and other fashion-related categories was up 5.1 percent year-over-year. And it’s clear that inflationary conditions are impacting consumer behavior.
In the Mastercard report, which measures in-store and online retail sales across all forms of payment, Michelle Meyer, U.S. chief economist at the Mastercard Economics Institute, said this holiday season, “consumers may find themselves looking for ways to navigate the inflationary environment – from searching for deals to making trade-offs that allow for extra room in their gift-giving budgets.”
But Meyer was quick to note that new job creation, “rising wages and lingering savings should have many consumers ready and able to spend.”
However, in a consumer survey report by Project44, the supply chain visibility platform, the firm found that 78 percent of consumers polled said they “plan to spend at least 10 percent less this holiday season due to inflation.” And when asked about their top concern this year, pricey goods came in at number one, followed by shipping costs and out-of-stock items/low inventory.
The survey was based on 1,500 shoppers in the U.S., the U.K. and Germany. “Shoppers are feeling the pain of inflation and looking for ways to save money while still receiving purchases on time,” said Carson Krieg, head of industry solutions and strategy at Project44. “To win over shoppers, brands need to be armed with data and have a strong supply chain strategy prepared to address consumer concerns. Many retailers still have not developed and deployed a holiday shipping plan of action, and these brands are risking falling behind amid peak season.”
From a sustainability perspective, the survey found that 56 percent of respondents said they “would shop at local and small-owned businesses to reduce emissions … but only one-third would elect for slower delivery or ship to a store for pickup to reduce their carbon footprint.” And 16 percent of those polled said they would pay more for a greener brand this year.
Meanwhile, Mastercard said this year’s holiday sales forecast needs to be seen within the context of the 2021 holiday shopping season, which the company defines as Nov. 1 through Dec. 24. That season reflected a resurgence for retailers as sales jumped 8.5 percent. Sales were driven by “pandemic-induced pent-up demand, excess savings and supply chain issues,” which sent shoppers “stocking their carts to secure gifts.”
This year, Mastercard said the holidays are expected “to shape up to be yet another positive retail season,” but with different key trends to watch. This includes “fashion-forward gifting,” which, Mastercard said, is a consumer desire to dress up their wardrobes and follows “nearly two years of loungewear and athleisure.” Shoppers are expected to spend 4.6 percent more on fashion apparel this year compared to last, with luxury goods spending up 4.4 percent.
But due to inflation, consumers are shopping earlier and are seeking bargains. Mastercard said the holiday season’s retail growth “is expected to be pulled forward in October as consumers hunt for early deals. Key promotional days like Black Friday weekend are also expected to make a strong return along with Christmas Eve, which falls on a Saturday, slated to be among the biggest days for retailers and last-minute shoppers.”
In a separate consumer behavior survey from Jungle Scout, researchers at the company said 30 percent of respondents said they’ve already begun buying for the holiday, while 70 percent said they plan to do so before Thanksgiving. The company also noted that 32 percent of shoppers expect to spend less this year than they did in 2021.
Mike Scheschuk, chief marketing officer at Jungle Scout, said upcoming shopping events such as a second Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday “offer consumers the best deals ahead of the holidays. With these events on the horizon, retailers are listening to customers’ inflation fears and must be willing to adapt their strategies. They can maximize growth and retain customers by managing inventory, being strategic with price increases, and understanding the needs of their customers.”
Authors of the Mastercard report said as inflation impacts consumer wallets, “bargain hunting is expected to be in full force this holiday season. From deals and discounts to price monitoring and price matching, consumers are looking to stretch their dollars and get the most bang for their buck.”
With online shopping, which is the easiest way to comparison shop, Mastercard said e-commerce sales are expected to increase 4.2 percent year-over-year “despite significant growth last year.”
Meanwhile, in-store experiences are expected to lure shoppers into stores and increase sales by 7.9 percent. “From the return of holiday doorbusters to new brick-and-mortar collaborations, retailers are aiming to boost holiday spirits by driving consumers into stores,” authors of the Mastercard report said, noting that while e-commerce “has seen marked growth in recent years, in-store spending made up more than four-fifths of retail sales from January through August 2022.”
Steve Sadove, senior advisor for Mastercard and former CEO and chairman of Saks Incorporated, said that this holiday retail season “is bound to be far more promotional than the last. Easing supply chain issues coupled with the rapid shift in consumer spending trends and over-ordering inventory have left retailers in an interesting position ahead of the holidays.”
Sadove said retailers that “were able to clear past merchandise and accurately forecast inventory needs will be the best positioned for growth.” And merchants who can differentiate with product and merchandising might also have an edge this year. In a separate report from Escalent, researchers at the firm said due to economic conditions, 31 percent of respondents said they “will be looking for different types of gifts compared to what they normally buy.”
Looking at the bigger macroeconomic picture, Mastercard said higher interest rates will have an impact on the economy and how shoppers spend. The company said higher rates could force consumers to curb spending on big-ticket items, while the higher costs of borrowing money could cool the credit market.
Other impacts include increases in the cost of public debt, which is often used for municipal projects and infrastructure. Higher rates also can weaken the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers while slowing overall business investments.

Black September for Chip Makers; Nvidia Is in Hot Water
The months follow one another and look alike for the manufacturers of semiconductors.
There is an ongoing cycle of bad news for these companies whose chips power almost all the technological hardware that we use in our daily lives whether they are phones, laptops, PCs, video games, televisions, electronic devices, cars, etc.
Companies also need their microprocessors and graphic cards in their day-to-day operations, whether for their data center or cloud.
For months, fears of a hard landing in the economy due to aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve to fight inflation at its highest in 40 years have been a headache since the beginning of the year for Nvidia (NVDA) , Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) , Intel (INTC) , Micron (MU) and Qualcomm (QCOM) .
Stocks Sharply Down
The stock market performance of these firms since the beginning of September has thus been unsurprisingly disastrous. Nvidia shares have lost more than 13% since the end of August, while AMD shares, which had rebounded well after the release of the second quarter earnings, have fallen by 9.2% since the end of August. Intel shares lost 8.2% of their value over the same period, Micron shares fell 5.1% and Qualcomm shares fell 5.5%.
Investors' fears are as follows: if the Fed continues to raise its rates so quickly and so significantly, it will cause a recession. And if there is a recession, households and businesses will drastically reduce their spending. These arbitrations will mainly affect purchases of technological products and services. An example: a consumer who was used to changing phones regularly will probably postpone the next purchase to save money in the event of a hard blow in view of economic uncertainties.
And the latest inflation data showing that it is not abating gives investors confidence that the central bank may even raise interest rates even more sharply at its two-day monetary meeting on Sept. 20-21.
TheStreet Recommends
Core U.S. consumer prices jumped 0.6% last month, powered not only by rising rents but also by accelerating pressures across a broad range of the products and services. The figures suggested that pressures have yet to peak in the world's biggest economy, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated.
"Today’s CPI report confirms that the US has a serious inflation problem," commented former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers on Twitter. He's one observer who says the Fed must go even faster in its monetary tightening.
Nvidia Has Many Problems
The semiconductor sector is also hampered by the continuation of the trade showdown between the United States and China. The Biden administration is expected to officially enforce an export ban on advanced AI accelerators to China by AMD, Nvidia and others, Reuters reported on Sept. 11. The ban, announced late last month, restricted the export of Nvidia’s A100 and H100 AI accelerators as well as AMD’s MI250X GPUs. Nvidia has warned this restriction could hurt its sales by $400 million next quarter.
The sector should also see its revenue generated by semiconductors sold to the crypto industry decrease in the coming months because Ethereum, the No. 2 platform after Bitcoin, will change its transaction validation system from Sept. 15. The new transaction validation mode requires fewer computers, and therefore fewer graphics cards and less advanced semiconductors.
This last point concerns more specifically Nvidia, whose sales of chips for the gaming industry are already very impacted by the lockdowns in China to combat covid-19.
World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, a non-profit body that tracks shipments, has revised its sales estimates for 2022 to 13.9% growth from a previous 16.3%. Global chip sales for 2022 are now expected at $633 billion.
In 2023, sales will only increase by 4.6%
But industry sources believe that the current downturn is temporary because AI and robotics will play an essential role in the economy in the years ahead.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Members of the Philadelphia City Council announced plans Wednesday to introduce legislation aimed at protecting access to abortions inside city limits — including a bill proponents said would be one of the nation's strongest privacy protection laws.
The measures would bar the voluntary sharing of information about reproductive health choices for the purpose of prosecution or civil lawsuits and update the city's antidiscrimination laws to include protections for reproductive health decisions. It also would create a right of patients and providers to counter-sue if they are sued by out-of-state residents under one of several laws seeking to prevent people from traveling across state lines to seek abortions.
The legislation will be introduced at Thursday’s City Council meeting.
A resolution calls on the city to bar city resources from being used to cooperate with out-of-state lawsuits, prosecutions or investigations related to abortions, to work with providers to increase safety at clinics, to create an abortion access task force and to support allocating additional city funds to help offset the costs of abortions and reproductive care among other requests.
“We want to affirm our municipal rights at this time to be able to establish new protections for individuals, for people here in this city and to be able to send that message broadly across the state and across the country," said At-Large Councilmember Helen Gym.
Gym said the supporters expected pushback, but she said the bills would hopefully set some legal precedent and “advance new territory” in protecting reproductive health decisions.
The proposed local legislation comes after the U.S. Supreme Court's June decision overturning Roe v. Wade, a ruling that pushed regulating abortions to states. It also comes less than two months before midterm elections that will likely decide the future of abortion access in Pennsylvania moving forward.
“We did want to push on the privacy issue because we think it’s so fundamental and it’s really the fundamental underpinning behind Roe v. Wade, that (abortion) was and always is a private decision about what to do with your healthcare and your body,” Gym said.
Philadelphia isn't the first municipality to consider local regulations around abortion access.
In July, the Pittsburgh City Council passed three bills aimed at protecting access to abortion locally. Those measures included a law that protects abortion providers from out-of-state investigations — known as a shield law and legislation that requires local law enforcement agencies to deprioritize the enforcement of any criminal ban on abortion enacted at the state level.
The third Pittsburgh bill increased scrutiny on practices at pregnancy crisis centers, which often work to dissuade pregnant women from seeking abortions. It creates a complaint process for what the council said were deceptive practice and a way to refer those complaints for possible criminal investigation.
Leaders in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have called the cities refuges for people travelling from other states that have enacted strict abortion bans to seek reproductive healthcare.
