Elon Musk, Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs all have one personality trait in common — and it might be a clue to their ability to amass so much success.
That's according to author and historian Walter Isaacson who wrote Jobs' biography and is working on one about Musk. Isaacson says that Musk — like both Jobs and Gates — is unemotional when dealing with employees or colleagues, and uncompromising when it comes to fulfilling his grand vision for his businesses.
"That ability to not be as emotionally, empathetically engaged in order to see [their] vision through. It's something Steve Jobs had, it's something Bill Gates [has]," Isaacson said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday. "It's something a lot of these people have, because they're not looking for affection from the person sitting across from them. They're looking to get rockets to Mars."
In the past, some of Musk's employees at Tesla have described him as an extreme micromanager who isn't shy about expressing his displeasure when workers fall short of his lofty standards, or fail to meet his overly ambitious deadlines. He can be harsh, and not always easy to work for, but also often inspiring and funny, employees have said.

That sounds a lot like what Apple employees have said about Jobs. The Apple co-founder reportedly could be extremely blunt when sharing his opinions of employees' work, especially if he wasn't impressed with it. In 2019, former Apple executive Guy Kawasaki said that Jobs rarely wasted any time on "social niceties" at the office and "demanded excellence" from his employees.
"You had to prove yourself every day, or Jobs got rid of you," Kawasaki said.

Some of the complaints against Musk — the world's richest person, with a net worth of $274.3 billion, as of Wednesday afternoon — go beyond mere workplace rudeness. Musk and Tesla have faced criticism over allegedly poor working conditions in the company's factories, with Musk admitting that he asks a lot of his employees.
"If the expectation is, 'Hey, we can live and not work hard and not strain extremely to a great degree,' this is false. That is not true. In order for us to succeed, in order for us to live, we must work very hard," Musk told Bloomberg Businessweek in 2018.
Still, Isaacson said he sees a direct comparison between Musk and Jobs' social bluntness. "Musk is very similar [to Jobs] in being extraordinarily open," he said. "That transparency is part of his genius."
The comparisons extend out to Gates, too — even though the two billionaires don't always get along. Gates has admitted that in his early days of leading Microsoft, he "certainly wasn't a sweetheart." In a 2020 interview on the "Armchair Expert" podcast, Gates said both he and longtime friend Jobs were known for their intense competitive fire that translated into extremely high expectations for their employees and themselves.
For Musk, who runs both Tesla and SpaceX, being brusque and to the point with his employees might also be a natural byproduct of being crunched for time, due to his multiple leadership roles. Isaacson, who told CNBC that he is regularly in touch with Musk these days, said the CEO's personality allows him to filter out distractions — like the ongoing legal battle over his bid to buy Twitter, for example — when he needs to focus on a task at hand.
"He's able to sequentially focus in a way that I almost find like he's half-Vulcan or something," Isaacson said. "Because he doesn't wake up in the morning ... worrying about depositions, he's worrying about valves in the new engine for the Starship."
Isaacson later clarified that Musk definitely "cares about his reputation" — but that doesn't change his tendency to be blunt, or even harsh, with employees when it comes to executing a vision for his companies.
"If he's sitting in front of four or five people who have messed up getting the booster of Starship right, he says, 'If I'm starting to feel empathy [for them] instead of moving them out, then that's a misplaced empathy. My empathy has to be with the enterprise of getting to Mars, not with the person in front of me,'" Isaacson said.

For the first time, research has revealed tangible evidence demonstrating how decades of systemic inequities in mental healthcare have yielded significantly worse outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities, marginalized and under-resourced populations.
Released on Sept. 7 by Satcher Health Leadership Institute (SHLI) at Morehouse School of Medicine, researchers said the Economic Burden of Mental Health Equities in the United States Report led by Daniel Dawes demonstrates the devastating cost of mental health inequities in the United States.
Dawes, who counts as a nationally recognized leader in the health equity movement and executive director of the SHLI, examined four years (2016-2020) and found, at minimum, nearly 117,000 lives and approximately $278 billion could have been saved.
Officials said the first-of-its-kind report, supported by Otsuka America Pharmaceutical Inc., also reveals national estimates chronically underrepresent the burden of mental healthcare inequities, which has crippling implications on policies, funding, access to care, and resources.
For perspective, the researchers wrote that nearly six million Americans are not accounted for in national reporting estimates regarding mental healthcare.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cited earlier this year by Blue Cross, and Blue Shield found that Black and Hispanic respondents had equal or higher rates of depression than whites.
Similarly, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that more Black and Hispanic individuals reported a moderate to severe impact from depression on their lives, including their ability to manage at home, work, and close relationships compared to White respondents.
Blue Cross officials wrote that stigma may influence the decision to seek care, and a response to a Blue Cross Blue Shield Association survey of 2,700 adults suggest greater social stigma around mental health issues in Black and Hispanic communities may influence a person’s likelihood to seek care.
Fifty-four percent of Black and 47% of Hispanic respondents in the Blue Cross survey reported that individuals with mental health conditions in their communities “are looked down upon.”
That was the perception of only 38% of white respondents.
“Such perceived stigma, combined with the structural racism that may prevent historically marginalized communities from receiving equitable treatment, may compound the difficulty of asking for help,” Blue Cross researchers discovered.
The SHLI study revealed that in the United States, the decline of the overall population’s general health and life expectancy “is evidenced by increased morbidity and mortality rates.”
“In addition to this decline in the nation’s systemic health is the alarming deterioration of mental and behavioral health across the country, which has been exacerbated by the deleterious impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing syndemic,” the researchers wrote.
They wrote that those mental and behavioral health outcomes are significantly more adverse and unparalleled when visualized through the lens of indigenous populations and racial and ethnic minoritized, marginalized, and medically underserved populations.
Previous studies have attempted to highlight how health disparities affect economic and lifespan outcomes for indigenous populations and racial and ethnic minoritized groups. Still, none have specifically analyzed the financial burden of mental and behavioral health inequities, researchers at SHLI wrote.
They said the report is designed to inform all stakeholders about the ramifications of a chronically underfunded and siloed mental health care system, with a particular focus on underserved and under-represented communities.
“We are at a tipping point within the United States of a broader acknowledgment that this statement is not only true but our decades-long lack of focus and resources on mental health has had a significant and negative impact on overall health outcomes in the U.S,” SHLI researchers asserted.
“We are also at a long overdue awakening of how decades of systemic health inequities have yielded significantly worse outcomes for indigenous, racial and ethnic minoritized, marginalized, and medically under-resourced populations, which has led to generations of poor outcomes and reduced value of every life.”

WPI inflation eases to 11-month low of 12.4%
India’s wholesale price inflation, as measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), fell for the third consecutive month in August, according to data released by the ministry of commerce and industry, reiterating the view that inflation may have peaked in the country — despite the reversal of the trend in retail inflation, which saw a marginal increase in August
India’s wholesale price inflation, as measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), fell for the third consecutive month in August, according to data released by the ministry of commerce and industry, reiterating the view that inflation may have peaked in the country — despite the reversal of the trend in retail inflation, which saw a marginal increase in August.
Significantly, what makes the latest WPI numbers more important is that they also suggest a sequential moderation in prices and not just a deceleration in the rate of increase compared to the previous year. This suggests that input price pressures might have begun to ease in the Indian economy, even though they remain high compared to historic levels.
Growing at 12.4% on an annual basis, August WPI positively surprised analysts. A Reuters poll of economists expected this number to be 13%. This is in contrast to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) released earlier this week which ended up higher than analyst estimates at 7%.
The latest WPI value is 4.2 percentage points lower than the May value when it reached an all-time high of 16.6%. To be sure, there is also a base-effect at play in the moderation in annual WPI numbers as WPI has been growing at double digits since April 2021. August is the 17th consecutive month when WPI has grown in double digits.
However, what makes the August WPI numbers significant (positively) is that this is the second consecutive month when the absolute value of the index has come down on a sequential basis. This suggests that prices are actually coming down and not just growing at a slower pace.
A category-wise analysis of the WPI numbers shows that inflation has come down for all categories except food items between July and August. Inflation for manufactured goods has come down from 8.16% to 7.51%. In the fuel and power category, annual inflation has come down from 43.75% in July to 33.67% in August. For the food category, WPI has increased from 9.41% in July to 9.93% in August. To be sure, food inflation is still lower than the 11.78% reading for the month of June.
One of the reasons food inflation has not had a major upward impact on WPI (unlike the CPI) is that the WPI has a lower weight (24.4%) for food items than the CPI (39%). Unlike CPI, which is meant to track inflation for an average household budget in India, WPI is expected to track producer prices.
However, where WPI food numbers present a concern is in the continuing spike in inflation for staple cereals such as wheat. Wholesale prices of wheat grew at 17.3% on an annual basis in August, the highest since April 2013. While paddy inflation was still relatively muted at 4.3%, the upward trajectory is clearly visible in its case as well. India is expecting a fall in rice output this kharif (winter crop) season and the government has already put in place measures to control prices such as a ban on export of broken rice.
The moderation in WPI notwithstanding, experts believe that RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will likely raise interest rates for the fourth consecutive time in October. “Wholesale price inflation continues to moderate, in line with falling global commodity prices…Still, elevated inflation on both the retail and wholesale fronts suggests the need for the RBI’s monetary policy committee to maintain vigilance over evolving price trends. We expect the MPC to front-load rate hikes, and deliver another 50bp rate increase during the September 30 policy meeting”, Rahul Bajoria, MD & Chief India Economist, Barclays said in a note.
MPC’s inflation targeting mandate treats the CPI as the benchmark inflation measure.

Bears Announce New Decision On Former First-Round Pick Alex Leatherwood
The Chicago Bears have placed former Raiders first-round pick Alex Leatherwood on the non-football injury list with an illness.
The offensive lineman will be out for at least the next four weeks.
In response to this move, the Bears signed offensive guard Michael Schofield to the active roster.
The Bears picked up Leatherwood after he was released by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this offseason. The former Alabama star was the No. 17 overall pick in the 2021 draft.
Leatherwood finished his rookie season as one of the worst-rated offensive linemen in the league. Starting all 17 regular-season games for the Raiders in 2021, he was called for 14 penalties (3rd most in the league), gave up eight sacks (2nd most in the league) and allowed a league-leading 65 total pressures.
Leatherwood did not play in the Bears' Week 1 victory over the San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday.
Chicago linemen Doug Kramer and Dakota Dozier are both on the injured reserve as well.
The Bears will look to continue their solid start with a Week 2 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Her parents wanted her to be a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer. She said she liked the idea of being in the medical field, but she’s artistic, too.
Harleen Grewal, founder of Skyline Smiles on La Madrid Drive in Santa Clarita, started her business in connection with the adjoining Mind Body Infusion Med Spa, which she founded with her husband, Yuvyaj Grewal. As she was opening the doors, she ran head-on into the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I always take whatever comes and make the most out of it,” she told The Signal in a recent telephone interview. “So, what we did is we started doing COVID testing because I had to make money … I just thought, ‘How can I help people and make money at the same time?’ You can make money doing the right thing, right?”
Grewal was born in England in 1983. When she was 10 years old, her parents moved the family to India because they wanted her and her brother to be raised in more of a “conservative, respectful society.”
“They sent me to a boarding school up in the Himalayas called the Sacred Heart School,” Grewal said. “It was in Dalhousie — a Catholic boarding school, run by nuns from Belgium and Ireland. So, I had a fun education,” she added sarcastically.
It was the allure of the American dream, however, which Grewal saw in movies as a kid, that ultimately brought her to the United States. Her dream was to create a successful business and help people at the same time; to be a doctor, but to be an artist. Her love of biology and art came together in the field of dentistry, she said.
“You have to be so specific when you’re contouring those teeth and making somebody’s new smile,” Grewal elaborated. “You’re shade-matching, and molding things, and making one tooth look like the other. It’s a very artistic process.”
Grewal learned dentistry in India. She went to dental school there between 2002 and 2008. Upon finishing, she did what she’d wanted to do for years and she came to America. But she couldn’t just become a dentist. She had to get American training, and so, she enrolled in USC’s school of dentistry.
“I honestly think it’s the best dental school in the world,” she said. “Every day, when I practice, I still remember all the things that were taught to me at USC dental school, and I implement those, and that’s what I’ve carried on for the last 15 years.”
But Grewal said she wanted to challenge herself further. Upon completing her schooling in 2011 at USC, she decided she wanted to get into pediatric dentistry.
Grewal did her residency at the Lutheran Medical Center, which is now a New York University satellite location in Holyoke, Massachusetts. In 2013, she finished, and for the next four years, she got married and moved around a bit, worked with Pacific Dental Services, and in 2017, she and her husband made a home in Santa Clarita near her husband’s family.
“In 2017, we moved here and I was pregnant with my first child,” Grewal continued. “I quit doing dentistry because I didn’t want to be around the laughing gas — nitrous oxide. And my husband started his private practice, which is Advanced Center for Neurology and Headache (in Valencia). But he needed some help to get that running because he’s not a businessman.”
Grewal helped him build his practice. Then she helped her father-in-law build his pain management practice and surgery center.
“I got a lot of management experience,” Grewal continued. “Then I had my second child. After that, I’m like, ‘I’m done. But you know what? I’m helping you guys, but I need to open up my own practice.’”
Grewal, however, who’s never one to do just one thing, had the idea of also opening a medical spa, which she feels goes hand in hand with dentistry.
“It’s more like a wellness center. You come in, you get your teeth cleaned, you go get some Botox filler, you need an IV infusion.”
Grewal’s husband and staff, according to the Mind Body Infusion Med Spa’s website, offer treatments to patients with the goal of providing a combination of holistic and medical treatment options for whole-body health and wellness without the need for a doctor’s appointment, medical insurance or a referral.
According to Grewal, she opened both businesses right in the middle of the pandemic. She’d been planning them before COVID-19 hit, but she eventually got both places up and running in May 2021 — sort of. With the pandemic, she was limited in what she could do. And that’s when she started doing COVID testing.
“I was sending people to people’s homes so they wouldn’t feel inconvenienced,” Grewal said. “Because these places weren’t giving you the test results until the next day or after a couple of days, and it was very inconvenient. Like, kids couldn’t go to school because they needed COVID tests.”
Eventually, after the ups and downs of the pandemic had somewhat leveled off, Grewal could focus on doing what she set out to do with Skyline Smiles. The goal, she said, was to provide a dentist’s office for young adults.
“I designed it in such a way because I didn’t want it to look like Disneyland — like most pediatric dental offices,” Grewal said. “I kind of wanted to cater to the teenage and younger adult population because, it’s like, you either have dental offices that only cater to adults, or you have these pediatric dental offices that are like Disneyland.”
She said she set out to create a space that’s high-tech-looking, but with calming colors and a soothing flow to it.
“We’ve got a lot of greenery on the ceiling,” Grewal explained. “So, when people are laying down and they’re looking at the ceiling, you want something nice up there. There are TVs that are above each chair. Everybody gets a blanket. Everybody gets headphones. They’re noise-cancelling headphones, so you really don’t hear the sound of the machines. There’s always aromatherapy on, so it doesn’t feel like you’re in a dental office and people aren’t as anxious when they come in.”
Gradually, people would come into the office and ask if she took adult patients, too. Of course, she turned no one away, and the practice has slowly transitioned to about 80% adults.
And while Mind Body Infusion Med Spa is designed a little differently than the dental office — aside from the same flooring — it still offers a similar calming environment, she said. Like Skyline Smiles, the med spa is a creation she’s extremely proud of. She said she’s living the dream, as the saying goes.
What’s most rewarding, she added, is when she receives positive feedback from patients or when she gets people who say her office came highly recommended. She especially loves when, after finishing a procedure, people say, “You’re done already?”
“It’s just really nice when you have people enjoying the experience,” she said, “and actually liking what I built and the services that we provide.”
It’s that satisfaction of helping people with their medical needs and receiving the rave reviews that an artist loves that makes Grewal believe she’s discovered the American dream, the one she imagined as a kid. Grewal became, in her own words, a doctor and an artist, creating art in her patients’ smiles, helping people and making money at the same time.

Lenovo Group Limited (OTCPK:LNVGY, OTCPK:LNVGF) is one of the Chinese stocks that has fallen sharply, like all other Chinese stocks. Some know Lenovo from the PC market, but now Lenovo has further distinguished itself in Infrastructure Solutions and Solutions & Services. The Solutions & Services business group is quite profitable as the operating margin is 23%. As this business group grows, Lenovo Group's operating margins will improve.
Still, there are some risks, the overall PC market looks bleak this year. And because Lenovo generates 83% of sales from the PC market, this is a major headwind for Lenovo.
However, I give this stock a buy recommendation. Investors can enjoy a 5.9% dividend, there is clear growth in the ISG and SSG business groups, and the equity valuation is the most attractive compared to competitors.
Quarterly results for 1Q22/23 were mixed. Consolidated sales were virtually flat, but net income grew 11% year over year.
Lenovo Group is divided into three business groups:
In the most recent quarter, the Intelligent Devices Group saw sales decline by 3%. A large part of the turnover is made up of PC sales and this is a volatile market. Therefore, Lenovo has innovated into a new segment called "Beyond PC," which includes wearable technology and holographic displays, augmented reality, and more. In the Beyond-PC segment is the Mobile Business Group, a fast-growing business group that saw revenues grow 21% year-over-year to $2.2 billion.
The Infrastructure Solutions Group receives revenues from data center, edge computing and hybrid cloud segments. Revenue from this segment grew 14% year-over-year to $2.1 billion in the quarter.
Solutions & Services Group helps clients improve their efficiency and business agility. Customers use services, subscriptions, and pay-as-you-go models. SSG's revenue grew 23% year over year to $1.5 billion in the quarter.
Lenovo has the largest market share in PC sales at 24.4%. Despite hybrid work, growth in the Chinese PC market declined sharply. PC shipments are expected to fall by 13% by 2022. This is partly due to weaker demand due to the economic downturn, inflation, and the strong increase in PC sales in 2020. Market Research expects the industrial PC market to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% in the long term from 2022 to 2030.
Their recent quarterly overview shows that the business groups SSG and ISG are growing strongly. These business groups make up an increasing share of the consolidated revenue. Their IDG business group generates 83% of the consolidated revenue but the operating margin is quite low (7.5%). The operating margin of the SSG business group is in fact much higher (22.6%). Because this business group is growing strongly, the operating margin of Lenovo Group will increase. However, ISG's operating margin is 0.5% lower, but this business group has been profitable for the first time since the x86 business acquisition.
Lenovo has the largest market share in the PC market with 24%. This is followed by HP (HPQ) and Dell (DELL), which have approximately the same market share. Acer (OTC:ACEYY) and Apple (AAPL) have a significantly smaller market share. Apple mainly derives its revenue from the sale of iPhones, which is why I don't include Apple in the comparison of valuation statistics.
HP, Dell, and Acer are compared against their enterprise to EBITDA ratio. This ratio takes the market value + debt - cash and compares it to EBITDA.
This metric shows that Lenovo is the cheapest valued of the four companies in the market. The sharp decline in Chinese stocks in general this year has also plagued Lenovo.
Lenovo is offering a dividend of 0.38HKD and the shares are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a price of 6.34HKD. This makes the dividend yield 5.9%.
Investing in foreign stocks involves some risks. Below I discuss four possible risks from Lenovo.
1) Lenovo is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but ADRs are also available. The ADRs have been marketed so that investors can easily take a position in a foreign stock. A disadvantage of an ADR is that the liquidity is much lower than the shares on the original exchange. This can be unpleasant if a large position has to be sold.
2) The Security and Exchange Commission is demanding that Chinese companies listed on the U.S. stock exchange as ADRs be taken off U.S. exchanges if they fail to comply with disclosure regulations. Lenovo is not subject to the SEC disclosure requirement, meaning investors should not fear being delisted. Still, because of the higher liquidity, it is convenient to buy the shares on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
3) The currency risk remains an important issue, the FED has raised interest rates considerably, causing the value of the dollar to rise. A U.S. investor who has bought Chinese stocks will see their value fall due to the currency's depreciation.
4) The PC market is very volatile and speculators also benefit from this. In 2018, 14% of the outstanding shares went short, nearly booting Lenovo from the Hong Kong stock market. Exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that track the Hong Kong stock market sell Lenovo in such a situation, causing the stock to fall even further. Uncertainty surrounding Chinese equities remains high.
Lenovo Group is divided into three business groups, with the Intelligent Devices Group generating the most revenue (83% of total revenue). Lenovo is the market leader in their IDG business group, but revenue declined in the past quarter. On the positive side, looking at the long term, the industrial PC market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% until 2030.
Lenovo's other two business groups grew strongly in sales and are increasingly contributing to consolidated sales. The operating margin of their strongly growing Solutions & Services group is higher than that of the IDG group. This is beneficial for Lenovo Group’s operating margin as this business group grows.
Competitors such as HP, Dell and Acer are valued more expensively than Lenovo based on the EV/EBITDA ratio. And because Lenovo offers a 5.9% dividend yield, I see good value in Lenovo.
Both ADRs and regular shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange can be purchased. To guarantee liquidity, it is more convenient to buy the shares directly on the Hong Kong stock exchange. However, one must accept the currency risk. The PC market is also very volatile, with big jumps and deep dips in this business cycle.
Lenovo is a value stock. Don't expect strong growth, but expect stability in their dividend. The stock is a buy.

California cleans up from mudslides, as fire gains strength
By MARCIO SANCHEZ and CHRISTOPHER WEBER
OAK GLEN, Calif. (AP) — Rescuers searched Wednesday for a person missing in a mudslide that swept boulders down fire-scarred slopes in Southern California mountain communities, while firefighters held back a week-old blaze that gained renewed strength and forced more evacuations along foothills in the northern part of the state.
With thunderstorms forecast and more mudslides possible, evacuation orders remained in place in parts of the San Bernardino Mountains where flash floods washed away cars and buried buildings late Monday east of Los Angeles.
Five hundred miles (805 kilometers) to the north, the Mosquito Fire destroyed structures when flames erupted Tuesday afternoon, just hours after officials had reported making “great strides” in the battle.
“The fire was held in check overnight” and crews were able to keep flames from entering the town of Foresthill, fire spokesperson Scott McLean said Wednesday. He said some buildings burned, but the exact number won’t be known until damage assessment teams were able to canvas the area 110 miles (177 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco.
The blaze was one of three large fires in the state.
In Southern California, crews searched street by street for people who might be trapped by the mudflows that washed rocks, trees and other debris with astonishing force into Forest Falls, Oak Glen and Yucaipa and left a muddy mess and untold destruction.
Homes and other buildings were damaged, including a commercial building buried so high its roof collapsed, said Eric Sherwin, spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Fire Department.
“We have boulders that moved through that weigh multiple tons,” Sherwin said. “It could take days just to find all the cars that are missing because they are completely covered by mud.”
A video showed a slow-moving black river of sludge rolling past the sign for the Oak Glen Steakhouse and Saloon on Monday followed seconds later by a surging wave of deeper mud carrying logs. The mud appeared to be head-high in places the next day.
Sherwin said crews were searching for one missing person.
Residents who tried to return home found it tough going in the sticky mess.
“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Perla Halbert, whose feet were caked in mud after trying to walk to her home. “If you try and take two steps, you get submerged. You just get stuck.”
Halbert had been out of town and returned to her Oak Glen home late Monday to find the driveway covered with a few inches of mud. Her family stayed the night with family members and returned after first light to discover several feet of mud and a fence washed away.
Her husband went to buy boots and coveralls before trekking through the muck to assess the damage.
“There’s lots of rocks and so much mud. But hopefully the house itself is OK,” she said.
Officials lifted some mandatory evacuation and shelter in place orders Tuesday evening.
Workers were able to clear most of Valley of the Falls Drive — the only road to Forests Falls — and teams were assessing damage. Other major roads in the San Bernardino Mountains were reopened.
The rains were the remnants of a tropical storm that brought high winds and some badly needed rainfall to drought-stricken Southern California last week, helping firefighters largely corral the Fairview Fire that had been burning out of control about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of the mudslides.
The mud flows and flash flooding occurred in parts of the San Bernardino Mountains where there are burn scars — areas where there’s little vegetation to hold the soil — from the 2020 wildfires.
The mudslides occurred about 175 miles (280 kilometers) east of Montecito, where enormous debris flows killed more than 20 people and destroyed hundreds of homes in January 2018, a month after a huge wildfire scorched hillsides.
The Fairview Fire was burning about 75 miles (121 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. The 44-square-mile (114-square-kilometer) blaze was 62% contained by Tuesday. Two people died fleeing the fire, which destroyed at least 35 homes and other structures in Riverside County.
The Mosquito Fire had grown to nearly 79 square miles (nearly 204 square kilometers), with 25% containment Tuesday night, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire.
More than 11,000 people have been evacuated and nearly 6,000 structures are threatened — an increase in both figures as the blaze raged Tuesday near Foresthill and Todd Valley after a spot fire jumped the Middle Fork of the American River, officials said. More than 45 homes and other buildings have been destroyed.
Increased winds Tuesday pushed out a smoke inversion layer that had been stifling the blaze and gave fresh oxygen to the flames, McLean said. The area is full of extremely dry fuels that were rapidly igniting, challenging both firefighters on the ground and aircraft.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in its history.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 14, 2022--
DLP Capital, a private real estate investment and financial services firm, today announced that it has purchased a Houston-area multifamily property, Elan Memorial Park, in partnership with Texas-based ORP Investments Inc. The mixed-use property, with 297 residential units and premium retail spaces, is located in the Neartown-River Oaks submarket of Houston, a highly desirable live-work-play environment just four miles from downtown Houston and near to Texas Medical Center. The Houston metropolitan area, the fifth largest in the U.S., experienced its best employment growth on record in 2021, adding nearly 160,000 jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Elan Memorial Park will be a vibrant addition to DLP /Capital’s investment portfolio in the region, providing further economies of scale to the firm’s asset management of more than 2,500 units spread across eight properties in the broader Houston area.

“Elan Memorial Park is an exceptional apartment community that adds excellent balance to our multifamily portfolio in the Houston region,” said Don Wenner, founder and CEO of DLP Capital. “With strong job growth in Houston, we’re bullish on the region. We have multifamily properties with a range of price points to appeal to an array of tenants in the area.”
Elan Memorial Park, located at 920 Westcott Street near Memorial Park, is a nine-story property built in 2016 and features beautifully curved exterior architecture. The property boasts a top-floor sky lounge that features panoramic views of downtown Houston along with an outdoor fire pit and grilling area. Property amenities also include a courtyard pool with coffee bar, clubhouse with gaming area, fitness center, bike storage and repair station, and indoor dog spa. Interior features include expansive living areas, 10- to 13-foot ceilings and ceiling fans, built-in desks and bookshelves, and private backyards, patios, or balconies. Residents also benefit from more than 17,000 square feet of retail spaces on the ground floor that include healthy fast dining at Rush Bowls, global cuisine at Union Kitchen, Yellow Cup coffee shop, a hair studio, nail lounge, and more.
DLP Capital and ORP Investments plan light renovations to the otherwise superior condition of the property, including exterior painting, siding updates, and landscaping improvements. The property, currently at 92% occupancy, benefits from proximity to other affluent Houston neighborhoods, with the Neartown-River Oaks submarket attracting many baby boomers seeking to downsize. Employment growth in the Houston region is expected to surpass the national benchmark over the next five years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, further attracting tenants and adding to the investment attractiveness of Elan Memorial Park.
Added Raj Sarangam, founder of ORP Investments, “This multifamily investment marks the first of what we hope will be many successful partnerships with DLP Capital. We’re combining DLP Capital’s national financial strength with our boots-on-the-ground local market expertise for a solid combination that we believe will lead to collective, long-term success.”

Škoda is reviewing its global advertising requirements as it plans on developing a new brand platform.
Campaign understands that the car marque, which is owned by the Volkswagen Group, wants to invest in its brand as it seeks to compete with more upscale rivals.
Škoda is working with The Observatory International's London team on the pitch process and is on the hunt for a shop that has an "international footprint".
The review does not impact Škoda's regional agencies. In the UK, Fallon London (now part of Leo Burnett) has worked with the brand since 1998.
A spokesman for The Observatory International told Campaign: "Škoda Global Marketing Communications is looking to appoint a long-term global creative lead agency partner with an international footprint to support its on-going sales and growth objectives.
"The review process is being handled by The Observatory International (London) on behalf of Škoda Global Marketing.
"The review impacts Škoda's global creative agency relationships only and does not impact its media agency relationship or relationships with agencies in regions or individual markets."
PHD handles VW's global media planning and buying account. It is currently up for review. PHD's contract runs until 2023.

Everybody is well aware that recently prices have increased for almost everything during inflation. Houses are at an all-time high and gas has been as high as $5 per gallon. Food prices have risen by 13.1% since last year. However, one thing that has remained at the same price for decades is the hot dog and soda combo at Costco. It is still $1.50 which was its original price in 1985. People appreciate the low price, but many wonder why Costco still sells the combo for such a low price, especially when other retailers are selling the same combo for a whole lot more.
Costco founder Jim Sinegal was once advised by the chain’s CEO that the company needed to up the price, but he never raised the price.
Costco executive vice president Richard Galanti acknowledges that Costco sells close to 300 million of its hot dog and soda combo a year. About 100 million combos are sold through the food court and another 200 million are sold in its stores.
Galanti says Costco knows how to make a $1.50 hot dog and soda combo work. The retailer built and operates Kirkland Signature hot dog factories in Los Angeles and Chicago as its own supplier. Therefore, hot dogs for Costco don't cost much to produce. The store regularly bids out its soda business between Coca-Cola and Pepsi to get the best prices.
Tradition
One might think Costco is keeping its combo price the same because of tradition. While that might be true, many retailers say that they have been forced to break with tradition so that they can stay afloat.
Retail experts suggest that what Costco is doing is more than just honoring tradition. It is a form of marketing strategy. John Talbott, director of the Center for Research and Education in Retail at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, explains that an eye-grabbing low-priced item can signal to consumers that the company stresses bargains. He says, “You can almost think of it as a big billboard that says, ‘We have good value.’”
The loss-leader factor
The loss-leader factor happens when people go to a store for a low-priced item but end up buying plenty of other things which are not discounted. That is the way Adam Oliensis, a Costco shopper sees it. He’s a big fan of Costco's $1.50 hot dog soda combo. He admits he usually spends about $200 on other items when he goes to Costco for just the $1.50 deal.
Costco's vow to customers
According to Business Insider, Costco vows that it will not raise the price of its $1.50 hot dog and soda combo. The retailer says customers can rely on its famous $1.50 hot dog and soda combo staying at the same price despite inflation. Not only are the hot dog inexpensive, but they are also delicious.

Signed between green energy company EIH2 and the ports of Amsterdam and Cork, the deal will create a supply chain for green hydrogen between Ireland and Europe.
A new partnership will see the establishment of a supply chain for green hydrogen between Ireland and the rest of Europe via the port of Amsterdam.
Irish green energy company EIH2 signed a deal with the ports of Cork and Amsterdam yesterday (13 September), which will enable Ireland to maximise its use of offshore wind as a source of energy by providing an alternative route to market for such renewable electricity.
EIH2 said that the partnership provides Ireland with the necessary route to market to become a net exporter of energy over time. It noted that the Irish Government identified an additional 2GW of offshore wind to be used for green hydrogen production earlier this year.
Pearse Flynn, founder of EIH2, said that his company’s goal is to help Ireland and Europe achieve their ambitious energy targets – especially with green hydrogen, which gained even more importance after the recent RePowerEU plan by the European Commission.
“This partnership is the beginning of a supply chain for green hydrogen from Ireland where there is a lot of wind but not a lot of hydrogen demand to Europe where the situation is reversed,” the Cork-native businessman said.
The deal was signed at an event in Cork as part of a major offshore wind mission organised by the Dutch embassy in Ireland between 11 and 14 September. The mission aims to increase collaboration on energy transition between Ireland and the Netherlands.
“We see significant opportunities for Cork harbour to become a hub for renewable energy, which will benefit the environment, local businesses and create employment in the region,” said Conor Mowlds, chief commercial officer of the Port of Cork company.
Gert-Jan Nieuwenhuizen, a director of the Port of Amsterdam, said that the company’s priorities are to make green hydrogen available to the large industrial clusters in the greater Amsterdam area as well as to serve as a gateway to regions with high potential demand in Germany.
“The developments in the south of Ireland and the technical proficiency of Irish parties mean the country will be well positioned for the future export of this new energy source. The port of Amsterdam will offer a route to market for Irish green hydrogen, both in our port itself, and in the rest of Europe.”
EIH2 pitches itself as Ireland’s first green hydrogen company. Its chief operations officer Catherine Sheridan was recognised as one of the top women globally in hydrogen in May, making it into the ‘Women in Hydrogen 50’ list by Hydrogen Economist.

According to Attorney Jeremy Hogan, the filing of opening motions in the Ripple Summary Judgement and the upcoming decision in the LBRY case are two events that might continue to impact the crypto space for years to come. The opening motions for summary judgment have now been filed as indicated by defense lawyer James K. Filan.
This is a HUGE week in crypto law.
— Jeremy Hogan (@attorneyjeremy1) September 13, 2022
The Ripple summary judgment briefs will be filed today (although we won't see them until Monday) and a decision in the LBRY case is expected this week.
These two things will effect the entire space for years to come.
As reported by U.Today, Hogan took to Twitter earlier to highlight one key thing he hopes to see in the summary judgment briefings — "the extent Ripple makes the comparison between XRP and ETH." CryptoLaw founder John Deaton also indicated that an unfavorable ruling for the SEC in the LBRY case could facilitate a settlement in the Ripple case.
What public will see on September 19
Jeremy Hogan is also enthusiastic about the Sept. 19 date, as indicated in the parties' joint scheduling proposal on sealing issues relating to the upcoming summary judgment motions approved by District Judge Torres.
Hogan believes this would be the "end game," where the public will get to see (most of) the cards the parties are holding.
As expectations ramp up ahead of this date, James K. Filan has shared what the public might see on Monday, Sept. 19.
He stated in a thread of tweets that only the redacted versions of the briefs would be seen on Sept. 19. The actual declarations, exhibits and Rule 56.1 statements will be kept private and will only be released after a decision at the Omnibus Briefing regarding sealing.
The actual documents will not yet be made public, as the briefs will be long. However, references and citations to the declarations, exhibits and Rule 56.1 statements in the briefs will be made available.
In another update to the lawsuit, the Chamber of Digital Commerce has filed a Motion for Leave to File an Amicus Brief. As reported by U.Today, the world's leading blockchain trade association, the Chamber of Digital Commerce, is now wading into the Ripple lawsuit.

What your NAILS tell you about your health: Traditional Chinese medicine expert reveals how to interpret shape, growth, and markings on your tips to identify problems with your body
- The Eastern Philosophy, an Asian-owned small business that specializes in herbal medicine, has revealed what your nails say about your health
- The traditional Chinese medicine expert frequently shares educational videos about health on TikTok
- Viewers discovered whether or not they need to go to a doctor just by looking at their nails through the viral video
- The video covered nails that bent upwards and downwards, which could mean lung problems and what large nail moons means for your blood pressure
- Users flooded the comments sections unable to contain their shock at the accuracy of the video, sharing how their health issues relate to their nails
A traditional Chinese medicine expert has revealed what your nails say about your health - down to each and every marking.
The Eastern Philosophy, an Asian-owned small business that specializes in herbal medicine, frequently shares educational videos about health on TikTok, including one video on how to spot your health conditions just by looking at your nails.
The now viral video has racked up nearly 400,000 views and shares how the small business's followers can spot any health concerns and decide if they need to see a doctor.
'What your nails say about your health according to the Daoism tradition of body reading,' the video is captioned.
The Eastern Philosophy, an Asian-owned small business that specializes in herbal medicine, has revealed what your nails say about your health
In the video the Asian-owned small business reveals that if your nails curve downwards, it could indicate breathing problems
How downward curved nails could indicate breathing problems
In the video the Asian-owned small business reveals that if your nails curve downwards, it could indicate breathing problems.
These types of nails are also known as clubbed nails and could be the first sign of a serious health concern.
Nails that curl downwards could indicate you are suffering from breathing problems.
Common health problems in those with downward curved nails include, chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD), chronic bronchitis, asthma or even lung cancer.
The nail bed usually begins by softening before curving.
How curved upwards nails could mean you have liver or lung problems
If your nails are curved upwards, you are likely to experience liver or lung problems
If your nails are curved upwards, you are likely to experience liver or lung problems.
According to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, curved upward nails are seen in 35 per cent of people with non-small lung cancer and four per cent of people with small cell lung cancer.
It adds that upwards finger clubbing happens in stages.
First, the base of the nail becomes soft and the skin next to the nail bed often becomes shiny.
Next, you will begin to notice your nails are more curved than normal when looking at them from the side.
Lastly, the ends of your fingers will often become larger and start swell, which is due to fluid collecting in the soft tissues of the fingers.
The video explained that vertical lines could indicate stomach or nerve problems and that horizontal ridges could mean you have 'possible intestinal problems'
What the vertical and horizontal lines on your nails say about your stomach and nerve problems
The TikTok then explained that if your nails have spotted vertical lines on them it could indicate that you have stomach or nerve problems.
According to Healthline, fingernail ridges are often sings of other serious health problems.
Many people with vertical lines on their nails also have Multiple Sclerosis or MS, which is a disease that impacts the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves that make up the central nervous system.
And, if the lines on your nails are horizontal rather than vertical, this could mean you have 'possible intestinal problems.'
If the horizontal ridges are on the further part of your nail it can indicate the presence of IBS or Celiac disease.
The presence of horizontal ridges are often called Beau's lines and they are usually symptoms of a serious condition.
In addition to intestinal problems, horizontal lines can also indicate kidney disease.
How big nail moons could mean high blood pressure
A nail moon that is too large could indicate high blood pressure
'A nail moon that's too big indicates a risk of high blood pressure,' revealed the Asian-owned small business.
The half-moon shape the base of your nail is known as the lunulae and is considered too big when it occupies a third or more of your fingernail.
It often indicates problems with the cardiovascular system, heartbeat disruption and high blood pressure.
According to the CDC, high blood pressure or hypertension increases the risk for other heart problems, such as heart disease, heart attack and a stroke.
Most people develop high blood pressure as a result of their diet, lifestyle or a medical condition, but the base of your nails just may be able to tell you whether or not you should make that doctors appointment for hypertension.
How the absence or nail moons that are too small could mean you have low blood pressure
Small nail moons could mean you have low blood pressure
Conversely, small nail moons could mean you have low blood pressure.
A lunulae that is too small is one that can barley be seen behind the cuticle.
Small nail moons indicate low blood pressure and circulatory disorders and are often a sign of a weak immune system, poor metabolism or lack of iron and B12.
If your nail moon is separated from the rest of your nail with transverse lines, it could show there is a possible development of diabetes.
The absence of a nail moon can mean the presence of extreme fatigue and low immunity.
The small business added: 'Nail moons can recede due to staying up too late, poor digestion, anemia and low thyroid function.'
According to Healthline, missing nail moons are not always cause for concern, as they could just be hidden underneath the cuticle or skin at the base of your finger.
However, the lack of lunulaes can also be a sign of depression or malnutrition.
If you’re experiencing fatigue or overall weakness and have noticed your nail moons are missing, Healthline notes you should make an appointment to see your doctor.
Users flooded the comments sections unable to contain their shock at the accuracy of the video, sharing how their health issues relate to their nails.

One user said: 'Me who has both vertical and horizontal lines with Crohns and Fibro. I learnt this about nails a while ago and was shocked at the accuracy.'
Another user added: 'I do have breathing problems omg.'
'I have kidney problems can confirm,' wrote one user.
One user commented: 'I have vertical lines on all of my nails, that can be felt! I have MS so lots of nerve damage.'

Halo Infinite Community Director Asks For Fans' Thoughts On Buying Promotional DLC
While there are "no plans either way" at the moment, developer 343 Industries seems to be testing the waters when it comes to what were once exclusive cosmetics.
Halo Infinite has a number of exclusive cosmetics tied to purchasing various real-world products, but a tweet from Halo Infinite's community director asking fans their opinion on the matter means change could be on the horizon.
Though Halo Infinite's year-long delay from Winter 2020 to Winter 2021 threw a wrench into some of the game's marketing deals, players at various points over the last two years have been able to purchase things like Nerf guns, Halo action figures, Mega Bloks sets, and Rockstar Energy drinks in order to unlock exclusive cosmetics in-game. However, some of those cosmetics, like the ones associated with Rockstar Energy, are no longer easily obtainable, meaning many players have been left out.
Halo Infinite has had quite a few marketing partnerships around the world that included unique cosmetics. There are no plans either way at the moment, but curious what your thoughts are on potentially making some of this content available via the in-game shop or other vectors?
— Brian Jarrard (@ske7ch) September 14, 2022
343 Industries' Brian Jarrard on Twitter asked fans if they would like to see other ways to obtain those promotional cosmetics. Jarrard states there are "no plans either way at the moment," but asked if fans would be okay with those previously marketing deal-exclusive cosmetics coming to Halo Infinite either via the in-game shop or some other method.
Judging from the replies, fans seem to have mixed opinions on the matter. Some want those items to remain exclusive to those who purchased them when they were available, while others would like to see the cosmetics made earnable in-game rather than for sale in the shop.
Following fan complaints, 343 recently began making changes to how some of Halo Infinite's various cosmetics work, like allowing visors to be equipped on all helmets regardless of their corresponding armor core and making it so attachments can be used on a wider variety of helmets. 343 has said its goal is to move away from the game's controversial armor core system in favor of one that will allow players to mix-and-match armor pieces, coatings, and attachments interchangeably.
Halo Infinite is set to receive its long-awaited Forge mode this winter. The game's second multiplayer season will wrap up in November, after which a free 30-tier battle pass will have to hold players over until Season 3, which will launch in March 2023.

Reward raised in death of brothers in Atlantic
BEAUFORT, N.C. (WNCT) — The Carteret County Sheriff’s Office has raised the reward for information in a double homicide investigation that happened over a month ago where two brothers were found dead.
Sheriff Asa Buck said Phillip and William Fulcher were killed over a month ago in Atlantic. The sheriff’s office held a press conference Thursday morning with more details about the investigation, with Buck saying they would not rest until the killers were found and arrested.
Buck said the crime scene on Aug. 3 at a home on Clem Fulcher Court indicated the homicide was a violent attack involving more than one person. He said he feels the perpetrators were people who the victims knew.
The reward is now at $25,000 for information that leads to an arrest. Officials are also looking for video footage of the area during that time along with anything else that could help them.
“This is a tremendous burden you will carry with you day in and day out,” Buck said. “But not knowing when it will end for you. The knowing anxiety of when your luck will run out. And your judgment day comes.”
Paula Wade, a cousin of the brothers, said she saw them often and couldn’t understand why this would happen to them.
“I always saw one or both out and about going into Dollar General and we always stopped to hug and they said ‘Hey cuz, how is everybody doing?’ They had a smile and were friendly as can be. They never dated, were content living in their parent’s home even after they passed away.
“They had breathing issues and the home health nurse came weekly to see them, and both had oxygen tanks to help them breathe. They stayed to themselves and were homebodies. If you ask anybody around, they would say the same thing. Friendly, kind good souls.
“I hope they find the ones that brutally murdered them for no reason. Their lives mattered, they mattered to me.”
There is also a new tip line specifically for this case. You can call 252-648-7883 with any information. You can also remain anonymous.

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lab-Aids, the Long Island-based publisher and manufacturer of hands-on, evidence-based science programs, plans to transform science education. Long a leader in research-based science curricula for schools, Lab-Aids is now scaling its operation to meet increased demands.
"We spent the summer applying our Guiding Principles to map out strategic realignment fitting with our core values," said Jonathan Atkins, President of Lab-Aids. "We have known for 60 years that teachers, parents, and students are eager for science that is research-based, relevant, and hands-on."
To increase access to its innovative programs and materials, Lab-Aids restructured its executive team. Key to this plan is their new EVP of Business Development, Angela Amundsen. "This is an exciting time for Lab-Aids," says Amundsen. "We want to bring our great materials and programs to more teachers and students."
"Angela is uniquely qualified to lead the organization's growth while improving access to high quality science programs for new and existing markets," says Atkins. Amundsen began her career as a classroom teacher and building administrator before transitioning into educational sales. She has over 20 years of experience in bringing solutions to educators and students across the United States, having worked in education publishing at McGraw-Hill Education and Oxford University Press.
Lab-Aids worked with its development partners over the past seven years to redesign its entire program lineup to meet the evolving needs in science education. EdReports has cited Lab-Aids' middle school science program as high-quality instructional material and now the high school programs are following a similar design. All curricula integrates
- Three-dimensional learning
- Formative assessment
- Hands-on learning
- Phenomena and problems
And with the company's long-awaited entrance into elementary STEM, Lab-Aids is receiving unprecedented interest in all of its programs. "We've got the vision, commitment, partners, and programs," says Amundsen. "Now we need to expand our talent to get the job done. We're on the hunt for the right people to join this journey of change." Lab-Aids is hiring in strategic areas including marketing, sales, and operations.
For almost 60 years, Lab-Aids has been developing, manufacturing, and publishing core curriculum and supplementary programs that help students better understand science concepts through direct experience. Lab-Aids exclusively publishes for research-based curricula developers including Oceans of Data Institute, SEPUP, and Tinkering Labs. Students using Lab-Aids curricula spend over two-thirds of their instructional days doing screen-free labs and investigations.

The role of royal consort is now held by Camilla – officially Her Majesty The Queen Consort.
Prince Philip was consort to the late Queen Elizabeth II, though he did not use a ‘Prince Consort’ title, and was known as His Royal Highness Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.
And the previous Queen Consort was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
During the reign of her husband, King George VI, she was known as either Queen Elizabeth however, or as Her Majesty The Queen – only becoming The Queen Mother upon George’s death in 1952.
Many will be wondering why Their Majesties have different titles – Elizabeth as straight up ‘Queen Elizabeth’, but Camilla being referred to as ‘Queen Consort Camilla’ or ‘The Queen Consort’, rather than just ‘The Queen’.
Here’s what you need to know.
Why was The Queen Mother called Queen but not Camilla?
Both royals held the same role as Queen Consorts.
Camilla is the wife of King Charles III, and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (as she was originally known) was the wife of King George VI.
Both Camilla and Elizabeth also held Duchess titles, as The Duchess of Cornwall and The Duchess of York respectively, before becoming consort.
Queen Elizabeth II, meanwhile, was a Queen Regnant – i.e. monarch in her own right, rather than through marriage. There is also a Queen Dowager, who is the widow of a king.
But all types of Queen are historically known as ‘Her Majesty The Queen’.
So, why the difference?
It’s simply just what Buckingham Palace opted for.
Charles and Camilla married in 2005, and have been married now for 17 years. It is both of their second marriages.
Upon their marriage, Camilla used The Duchess of Cornwall as opposed to her highest-ranking title, The Princess of Wales, due its close association with the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Originally, Camilla was set to become ‘Her Royal Highness Princess Consort’ upon Charles’ accession – amid some contention over what her future title would be.
The couple expressed that Princess Consort was still the plan as of 2020, with a Clarence House spokesperson confirming: ‘The intention is for The Duchess to be known as Princess Consort when The Prince accedes to the throne.
‘This was announced at the time of the marriage and there has been absolutely no change at all.’
However, in February 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth II specified that she would like Camilla to be known as Queen Consort, after putting in almost two decades of service to The Crown.
In a Platinum Jubilee statement, Her Majesty wrote: ‘When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you have given me.
‘And it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.’
Her Majesty’s wish left Camilla feeling ‘very touched’, and Queen Consort is ultimately the exact title chosen.
Camilla is now listed on the Royal Family website as Her Majesty The Queen Consort. You may see Her Majesty referred to as ‘Queen Consort Camilla’ or ‘Camilla, The Queen Consort’.
However, according to former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt, it’s all just semantics – as Camilla is very much The Queen.
He said: ‘Despite all of the progress so far, royal officials – perhaps mindful of the Diana legacy – continue to be cautious about the precise nature of Camilla’s new status.
‘They prefer to focus on the fact she’s the consort of a king. The reality is that… Queen Camilla will be crowned at her husband’s coronation.’
A spokesperson for The King did tell iNews that dropping the ‘Consort’ was a ‘question for the future’.
They said: ‘The King and Queen Consort are focused on getting through those next 10 days.
‘I think those who saw The Queen Consort movingly meeting people outside Buckingham Palace know how moved she is at the moment and that’s her focus so that will be a question for the future.’
Indeed, King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla have been undertaking a flurry of engagements and duties since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, aged 96, on September 8, 2022.
They have travelled up and down from Scotland to London in recent days, and will travel to Belfast and later Wales, before attending The Queen’s funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19.
So, with time, Her Majesty may become known as Queen Camilla after all.

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.

After finally making his way to the Jeopardy! podium thanks to a fan campaign (which included a few notable celebrities), LeVar Burton saw his chance of becoming Alex Trebek’s successor disappear as quickly as it arrived. The beloved Reading Rainbow host was not chosen for the top spot as Jeopardy! executive producer Mike Richards named himself as the new host, which immediately mired the classic game show in scandal. (Richards would step down after less than a week of filming.)
While Burton has hinted at the “humiliating” process before by ominously saying that “the fix was in,” he’s now speaking more candidly about the whole ordeal. When asked what he’d do differently, Burton had harsh words for Richards who reportedly told Burton twice that he wasn’t interested in the hosting job. Via TV Insider:
“So if I were to do it all over again, I wouldn’t trust him,” Burton continued. “But I would insist on knowing that this was a real audition for the job because that’s what I thought I was asking for.”
Burton went on to say that it felt like he was “pulled into a publicity stunt” but added, “I went in willingly. I own my actions 100%. I just wish they had been more forthcoming at the beginning.” He also said he “loved every moment” of hosting the show itself.
Despite the Jeopardy! fiasco, Burton would ultimately land a game show hosting gig. He’s currently developing a TV version of Trivial Pursuit that will allow the Star Trek: The Next Generation star to work his magic at a podium that’s completely his own.

UniCredit by Andrea Orcel is ready to reward its shareholders with a buyback program which, as explained by the ceo of Piazza Gae Aulenti, is aimed at increasing dividends and profits.
The Italian bank has reached a new milestone today, collecting the approval of the shareholders’ meeting for the second tranche from 1 billion of the buyback from a total of 2.6 billion.
He voted 99.3361% of the share capital present at the meeting in favor of the resolution, equal to 63.99% of the total capital.
In answering a question from a shareholder, Orcel explained the dynamics underlying the buyback plan and which defines its objectives: the reaction of the UniCredit share is more than good, which on the Stock Exchange on the Ftse Mib has scored a rally towards 11 euros.
UniCredit has been the queen of the stock market among Italian banks in the last six months, despite Andrea Orcel’s apparent obstinacy not to withdraw from Russia (even if the cut in exposure to Vladimir Putin’s country in the war against Ukraine continues).
UniCredit quotes have gained over the past six months + 14.3% compared to + 12% Bper, + 7.4% Banco BPM and -3.8% Intesa SanPaolo.
UniCredit collects ok shareholders’ meeting with buyback plan
The buy-back program of treasury shares, the CEO of UniCredit Andrea Orcel pointed out today, “Was defined and approved with the aim of bringingpurchase and cancellation of shares“.
In fact, “The cancellation involves a decrease in the shares on the market, in this case by about 7% of the capital, which in turn means that when the transaction is carried out, of these two buyback tranches, the number of shares on the market would drop 11-12%. What that between profits and dividends will lead shareholders to receive this figure of 11-12% more compared to the current one, which should lead to investors’ appreciation of the program “.
During the UniCredit shareholders’ meeting, Orcel explained that “The approval (of the shareholders) is necessary to allow the 2021 share buyback program to be completed for the remaining part, equal to 1 billion euro, as the amount of shares for which the shareholders’ meeting of April 8, 2022 authorized the purchase is not enough, considering the evolution of the price of Unicredit shares due to the macroeconomic and geopolitical context “.
“We have very solid financial and strategic foundations “, reassured the CEO, stressing that “The successful completion of the 2021 shareholder distribution programs represents a further step towards realizing our strategy UniCredit Unlocked and our financial ambitions, generating strong returns and creating value for shareholders “.
Andrea Orcel has pitted concrete numbers, addressing the shareholders, who have endorsed confidence in the potential of UniCredit.
“Let me remind you – the CEO underlined – that during this year our commercial momentum and the progress we are making in the execution of our UniCredit Unlocked strategy have enabled us to obtain in the first half best results of the last ten years at least, with profitable growth in all our divisions, to complete the first 2021 share buyback tranche for 1.6 billion, set aside 0.9 billion in dividends on our results for the first half of 2022 and increase our Cet1 ratio to 15.7% to the second quarter of 2022, among the best in the sector “.
UniCredit, Padoan: it will be the bank of the future Europe
The solidity of the accounts of Piazza Gae Aulenti was also highlighted by UniCredit president, former Treasury Minister Pier Carlo Padoan: Padoan commented on UniCredit’s first half accounts, making no secret of his great satisfaction with the results achieved:
“The creation of UniCredit Unlocked has led us to achieve the best half-year results of the last ten years: all geographical areas have achieved record results and exceeding the objectives of the plan. This allowed us to confirm the remuneration of our shareholders and the completion of the share buyback program, decided last April and now authorized by the Supervisory Authority, which is why we are here today ”.
President Padoan added that he believes that “All of this is solid proof that UniCredit Unlocked is working”, noting the goal that the bank has set itself to achieve: “Making UniCredit the bank of the future of Europe”.
On the other hand, “UniCredit’s management team is working hard to achieve these results, acting quickly and effectively, always keeping in mind our clients and their goals”.
The UniCredit chairman did not fail to praise CEO Andrea Orcel, after the transfer of the leadership of UniCredit Italy from Niccolò Ubertalli to the same CEO, communicated by the institute weeks ago:
“The repositioning of our Italian activities under the direct guidance of the Chief Executive Officer (Andrea Orcel) e del Deputy Head of Italy” it’s a “Example of how we are providing the areas where we are present what they need. This strategy is already starting to produce tangible results “, said the former minister.
Italy, Padoan: beyond unknown political uncertainty
Padoan also referred to the deep crisis that Europe is experiencing, due to the consequences of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The former Treasury holder made a comparison with the previous crisis, that of the Covid pandemic:
“Although the Covid pandemic has been long and has had significant impacts, considering the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, what we are facing today in Europe is probably even more challenging as it concerns long-term and structural issues that need to be addressed“.
Padoan pointed out that “Both companies and individuals are already suffering the impact of rising energy prices, in a scenario where the cost of living continues to rise “.
Consequentially, “Economies across Europe are facing challenges to which governments and regulators must respond.” The former Treasury Minister stressed that, in the specific case of Italy, “political uncertainty (referring to the upcoming # political elections22) adds to the unknowns of the future “.
In any case, Padoan has shown confidence in the solidity of UniCredit:
“As a bank, we will not allow events beyond our control to distract us from our goal: better support the European economy and all its citizens. To this end, we must focus on delivering our strategic plan, UniCredit Unlocked, and on making our bank as strong as possible to support Europe in today’s and future difficult times ”.
“Thanks to the guidance of our management team – Pier Carlo Padoan said again – we are proceeding with UniCredit Unlocked keeping the promises made to the stakeholders. This includes the steps taken to simplify and optimize our bank, our ongoing commitment to ESG priorities and our willingness to put customers at the center of everything we do by providing, through tailored initiatives, tangible support to those who do. find themselves in difficulty due to the current context. In Italy, in particular, we are continuing to support the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Draghi’s PNRR), which is an essential pillar for the growth of the country “.
UniCredit and the Russia factor
Returning to Russia and UniCredit’s exposure to the country, it was Andrea Orcel himself who emphasized, on the occasion of the presentation of bank accounts, that “Russia is no longer a concern for the group’s results”.
That is to say:
“We are reducing our exposure as we have committed, our business in Russia is functional and from an economic, financial and capital point of view the impact of Russia on the accounts is no longer a concern for us – explains Orcel – We are commit to gradually reducing our exposure: we have reduced it by 2.7 billion and will continue to do so in an orderly and rational way. We have not changed our position in this regard ”.

Although the media machine and retail machine of the iPhone 14 series have not yet reached the time of lifting the ban, there are still brave warriors who live broadcast the unboxing of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and even activate it directly online, simply test a few functions, and run points. Judging from the content shared by the master of Up, in the case of better lighting conditions, the exclamation point in the central pill-shaped strip of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is still very obvious, but it is visually connected by Apple with black pixels. Create a sense of unity.

As for the much-anticipated Smart Island, at least for now,Tencent Video and WeChat, including their own text messages, have not been adapted. The WeChat notification message pop-up window can only be simply displayed below the smart island, and there is no silky interactive experience in the press conference screen.
The column text on the homepage of Tencent Video will even be blocked by the black holes in Smart Island, which looks very unsightly.
In addition, regarding the so-called iPhone 14 activation fine of 200,000 per unit before 8:00 on September 16, a more accurate explanation is that this is not a fine imposed by Apple on the dealer, but a warning slogan for distribution within the dealer. Once the retail machine is activated in advance, 200,000 is a trivial matter. Once it is located in a batch, the subsequent supply of the corresponding dealer will be cut off, and the actual loss will be far more than 200,000.

Kildare Rose Ashleigh Byrne. Picture: Aishling Conway
Newbridge’s very own Ashleigh Byrne wowed judges at the latest iteration of the Rose of Tralee.
The 25-year-old has said that she has had ‘some unbelievable peak life experiences,’ all from taking part in the contest.
Now that that the contest is over, Ashleigh has finally been able to sit down with the Leinster Leader to discuss the highlights of her experience.
She said: "There were so many experiences, like the Rose Ball, the live TV nights, the many gala dinners we went to.
"But one of my favourite places was visiting the lavender fields in Wexford. It was a beautiful setting, the sun splitting the skies and all of us had some free time to honestly just explore the field, being in nature was a breath of fresh air and gave us all a lift."
TOUCHING MOMENT
Ashleigh also detailed one heartfelt moment in Wexford: "There was one moment in Gorey that I’ll never forget: there was a young girl who was both excited and nervous by the roses all at once.
"You could see she wanted to interact but might have been slightly shy to approach. Me and a few other roses clocked her and we bent down to say hi.
She continued: "Her face lit up, she took a few steps towards us. We were complementing her on her dress and we were telling her how beautiful and strong she looked.
Ashleigh Byrne, along with fellow Rose of Tralee contestants, tried axe throwing at Carton House
"The little girl turned to her Ma, almost to make sure she still had near her. When she turned around more of us had gathered around all of us were saying hello to the little girl and giving her all of the attention and smiles and light we could manage.
"That little girl completely absorbed that moment so purely. She was shaking with excitement and jumping up and down. She had all of us in tears at her; I knew in that moment that little girl allowed us into her heart.
"When I walked away, I was in tears at how genuinely beautiful that experience was with a complete stranger.
She concluded: "That’s the magic of wearing the sash, that’s the magic of the festival: (To have)the opportunity to share those moments with complete strangers."
ICE BATH
What arguably made Ashleigh stand out to viewers was her interest in taking ice baths.
She said she first got into taking ice baths in her first year of college: "I would say the moment I felt the first whisper of the healing the cold brings to your mind body and spirit I was hooked."
Commenting on Daíthí O' Sé's dip into an ice bath, she said: "I’m not joking you when I say Dáithí was a new man back stage after that Ice bath! He walked into the green room glowing, eyes bright and face refreshed.
"He even said he’d do them again."
Speaking about the winner, she said: "I’ve no doubt Rachel (Duffy) will smash her time as the Rose of Tralee. I’m really looking forward to watching her grow this year and (she) is a queen in my eyes."
'GRATITUDE'
Ashleigh also paid tribute to her friends and family who have supported her: "I have been completely overwhelmed at their joy, support and love they have shown.
"It has brought a huge amount of love and light to my family."
When asked if she would recommend any other woman to go for the Rose of Tralee, she said: "I feel you should do anything that you feel a resistance to.
"For me, the thought of putting myself out there on stage and being vulnerable was something that made me deeply uncomfortable, you might even say scared.
"But that’s exactly why I knew I had to do it, Because you don’t get anywhere by staying comfortable... growth happens when you're least comfortable. So I recommend trying anything that makes you slightly scared.
Ashleigh added: "I have two years left of being the Kildare rose, and I feel like I’ve had some unbelievable peak life experiences with the festival.
"So I’m very happy to cherish those memories and see what's next on the cards."

Frustrated Celtic settle for draw against Shakhtar
Issued on:
Warsaw (AFP) – Celtic were left to rue missed chances as Ange Postecoglou's side were held 1-1 by Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League group stage in Warsaw on Wednesday.
Artem Bondarenko's own goal gave Celtic an early lead in Shakhtar's temporary home in the Polish capital, but Mykhailo Mudryk equalised with a thumping finish after running in behind the visitors' defence.
The Scottish champions forced Shakhtar goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin into a series of saves and applied late pressure but had to settle for a point, their first in the competition since their last appearance in 2017-18.
After paying the price for not capitalising on a strong start in last week's 3-0 loss to Real Madrid, Celtic threatened with just a minute gone here when Trubin blocked from Kyogo Furuhashi.
The Hoops made the breakthrough on 10 minutes as Sead Haksabanovic slid the ball through for Reo Hatate, whose attempt deflected off a sliding Bondarenko and trickled into the net.
Celtic nearly made it 2-0 when Moritz Jenz's shot was kept out by Trubin's leg. It proved a key stop as Shakhtar soon levelled.
Georgiy Sudakov threaded a pass through the Celtic backline, with Mudryk racing on to it before lashing an unerring finish past Joe Hart.
Hart denied Shakhtar a second by turning behind a curling strike from former Celtic forward Marian Shved. Trubin shovelled away a dipping shot by Portuguese winger Jota to start the second half.
Matt O'Riley's effort from range was tipped to safety as Celtic continued to create opportunities. Substitutes Giorgos Giakoumakis and Daizen Maeda both went agonisingly close late on.

Summit and Executive Order validate biotechnology innovations as part of the climate solution
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Genomatica (Geno) CEO Christophe Schilling applauded recent government investment to promote the growth of domestic biomanufacturing amid the newest White House Executive Order on emerging biotechnologies. Speaking at the White House Summit on Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing for the American Bioeconomy, Schilling reiterated that the Order will be an important driver of more resilient domestic supply chains through domestic infrastructure, delivering sustainable materials at scale, and a key component of the Biden Administration's climate resilience plan.
The Order launches the National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative that calls for federal agency coordination in funding biomanufacturing projects that will accelerate the transition to more sustainable materials, at scale. The Order also increases mandatory bio-based purchasing by Federal agencies through programs like BioPreferred which Geno's Brontide™ brand participates in. Further, the Order validates biotechnology innovations that reduce America's use of fossil fuel sourced products through highlighting plant-based alternatives as a significant part of the climate solution. This Order will be incorporated into the Biden Administration's climate policies where the biobased economy will play a critical role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. For Geno, the Order signals a critical moment that brings together our company and cross sector groups to accelerate the sustainable materials transition.
"It's not often that one action fuels the economy, combats climate change and strengthens supply chains at the same time," said Geno CEO Christophe Schilling. "By powering the bioeconomy to create jobs across America, bolster rural economies, onshore manufacturing and help industry transition away from fossil fuels, this week's executive order does just that through a whole-of-government approach. At a time when business and environmental interests are often on a collision course, biotechnology and biomanufacturing prove that there is a different path forward. Today's Summit and Executive Order jumpstarts this process, and Geno looks forward to continued engagement with the White House to put our unique solutions to work."
Schilling is Chair Emeritus of Biocom, the largest advocacy organization for California's life sciences sector and serves on BIO's Industrial & Environmental Section Governing Board. He is also a member of YPO, an international leadership organization for chief executives, and previously served on the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Biotechnology.
Geno already stands at the forefront of powering technologies that enable large scale biomanufacturing of sustainable materials. Geno is on path to deliver over 4 million liters of capacity and an annual production of 100,000 metric tons of plant-based products. Geno continues to be laser-focused on increasing its impact through scale and has recently closed multiple high-impact deals to accelerate the commercialization of sustainable materials. With the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100 million tons in upcoming years, recent milestones include scaling plant-based nylon, a collaboration with lululemon to bring plant-based materials into lululemon's products and a venture with Unilever to provide additional, responsibly sourced palm oil alternatives to market with a 50% lower carbon footprint.
About Geno
Geno is harnessing biology to remake everyday products and materials built by and for the planet. In response to the urgent climate crisis, Geno is developing and scaling sustainable materials derived from plant- or waste-based feedstocks instead of fossil fuels. Geno's technology, built over the last 20 years, now drives materials and ingredients in applications ranging from cosmetics, carpets, to home cleaners, apparel and more.

What Is Killing the Huge White Sturgeon of British Columbia’s Nechako River?
Eleven of the endangered fish mysteriously turned up dead just last week. Now, government officials are calling on the public to help
White sturgeon, the largest freshwater fish in Canada, are turning up dead in central British Columbia’s Nechako River, and no one knows why. Last week alone, provincial fisheries scientists found 11 adult fish decomposing in the river. The number is so alarmingly high and the cause of the fish’s demise so mysterious that officials with B.C.’s Ministry of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship (MLWRS) are asking for the public’s help.
“We haven’t seen something like this in the documented history. So, these mortalities are obviously concerning,” senior ministry fisheries biologist Nikolaus Gantner told the Vancouver Sun. The bodies of the recovered sturgeon showed no signs of external injury, nor is there any indication that the fish died of disease, chemical exposure, or angling activities, according to a MLWRS press release. Scientists are running tests on the specimens for any clues but are concerned that the samples are too decomposed to reveal anything conclusive.
That’s where the public comes in. Looking to recovery future samples as quickly as possible, the ministry is asking citizens to keep an eye out for dead sturgeon on the Nechako and Upper Fraser Rivers and immediately report, and if possible submit photos of, any fish they find.
“It’s early days but it’s certainly concerning,” ministry sturgeon recovery lead Steve McAdam told CBC News. “At this point we’re really at an information gathering stage. The information bulletin went out really to engage the public—they’re the ears and eyes on the water. So if people see a fish we want to find it and get it.”
White sturgeon, which can live for more than 150 years and grow to more than 20 feet in length, are listed as endangered in the Nechako and Upper Fraser Rivers under Canada’s Species at Risk Act (SRA). They have been impacted by loss of habitat and access to historic food sources, such as migrating salmon. Recreational fishing for white sturgeon is prohibited in much of B.C., including the Upper Frasier and Nechako Rivers, but allowed on the Middle and Lower Fraser. The fishery is strictly catch-and-release, and would-be sturgeon anglers are encouraged to watch this video from the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society.

White sturgeon are widely regarded as an iconic species in the province. “The lineage has been around for 250 million years. People call them living dinosaurs…and I think it’s super important to emphasize they’re culturally important to First Nations,” McAdam told CBC. As such, fisheries official are eager to learn the cause of the recent mysterious deaths and get white sturgeon back on the road to recovery.
Anyone who finds a dead white sturgeon in the Nechako or Fraser Rivers is asked to report details by phone to Gantner at 250-649-2876 or Nikolaus.Gantner@gov.bc.ca.

U.S. Reps. Debbie Dingell (D-12th District) and Jim McGovern (MA-02) recently reintroduced the Leave No Americans Behind Act of 2022 to end the practice of charging fees from Americans evacuating foreign countries in times of crisis. These fees have been charged to thousands of Americans who have been evacuated from around the world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We have an obligation to assist our fellow Americans seeking safety in times of crisis, and evacuees facing emergencies abroad should not have to worry about being hit with a bill,” said Dingell. “These fees place a real financial burden on people during an already traumatic time, while providing only a nominal amount of revenue. The government shouldn’t be making a quick buck at the expense of Americans in distress. ”
“Our government’s top job ought to be ensuring the safety of the American people at home and abroad,” said McGovern. “It’s outrageous and unacceptable that the evacuation of Americans during a crisis comes with strings attached. I’m proud to partner with Representative Dingell to make sure that Americans in danger can focus on getting to safety—not on whether they can afford to pay for an unexpected and unplanned emergency evacuation.”
Current State Department policy requires American citizens who are being evacuated from a foreign country to sign a promissory note obligating them to repay to the US government the equivalent price of a commercial flight from the area from which they are being evacuated. These evacuation fees typically cost hundreds of dollars, and the federal government will put a hold on an evacuee’s passport until this amount is repaid.
Dingell and McGovern first introduced the Leave No Americans Behind Act in 2018. Concerns about this practice resurface every time there is a major evacuation of US citizens from a foreign country, for example during the 2017 hurricane season or the 2006 Lebanon war. These fees provide a minimal amount of revenue to the federal government in a typical year, with less than $1 million collected from FY2015 – FY2018.

This Weekend Is Your Last Chance To Enjoy Montreal's Car-Free Promenade Wellington
A summer must-do! 🚴♀️👬🍹
As if the end of festival season and dropping temperatures weren't sad enough, Montreal's summer pedestrian streets have started closing one by one. We have just one more week to enjoy the pedestrianized Promenade Wellington between rue Regina and 6e Avenue.
Closed to traffic since June 1, this stretch of Verdun's most electric street, a.k.a. Time Out's 2022 "coolest street in the world," has been a treat for Montrealers all summer long. It featured installations and roaming entertainment such as the borough's popular puppet festival.
The pedestrianization ends on September 19, so you still have a little bit of time to make the most of the expansive terrasses, lounge areas, cute swings and deckchair installations. There is also a court to play pétanque located between 4e and 5e Avenues.
The street is also, of course, dense with restaurants and bars. In its coolest streets ranking, Tim Out specifically gave a shoutout to restaurant Paname, sandwich shop Bossa, and bars Palco and Verdun Beach, among other spots.
The street is currently open to bicycles as well as pedestrians. There's also a free tuk-tuk shuttle service called Well-O to get around up and down the commercial artery. You can book a ride from Thursday to Sunday by calling 514-889-311, ideally 24 hours in advance.
The dismantling of the promenade's summer installations will take place between September 19 and 23. Cars will be able to access the street again from September 23, and normal STM services will resume on September 24.

DGCA resumes breath analyser tests for crew
The directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) has ordered resumption of mandatory breath analyser (BA) tests for flight crews from October 15
The directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) has ordered resumption of mandatory breath analyser (BA) tests for flight crews from October 15. The tests were discontinued in March with an aim to curb the spread of Covid-19.
The aviation regulator’s order, issued on Wednesday, said, “in view of reducing trend of Covid-19 cases and increase in volume of air traffic as a result of resumption of normal operations and also in view of dispensation granted by Hon’ble High Court of Delhi order, the guidelines issued by the DGCA vide Order dated 29.03.2022 have been reviewed and it has been decided to restore the CAR Section-5, Series-F, Part-Ill w.e.f. 15.10.2022, with conditions.”
The BA test is carried out on each airline crew member before a flight to check for the presence of alcohol. According to civil aviation rules (CAR), crew members are not permitted to consume alcohol at least 12 hours before departure.
According to the DGCA’s Wednesday order, the test will have to be carried out in an open area that is covered by close circuit TV (CCTV) cameras.
The regulator also said that the doctor /paramedic/ EMT/nurse conducting the test will examine crew members for symptoms of Covid-19 before carrying out the BA test. It clarified that if a person is detected with Covid-19 symptoms, he/ she will be exempted from the BA test and removed from duty.
Such people will undergo the required examination and will return to duty only after they are declared fit, the regulator said, adding that records of such cases will have to be maintained.
“Such cases will not be treated as missed BA cases,” the order added.

Low pay is a significant reason behind the current shortage of child care workers in the United States. The average hourly wage nationally is around $14 an hour.
A degree isn't required for most jobs in early childhood education but it can increase your pay.
A first-of-its-kind program could be one solution to getting more people into higher paying child care positions.
Classes just started at Northern Essex Community College for the new competency-based early childhood education associates degree. Competency-based education lets you demonstrate what you already know.
“The quicker that they can show us that they master the content and we do that through authentic assessment project-based learning things that they actually will be doing in an early childhood classroom, the quicker they can accelerate through the courses,” said Jody Carson who leads the program.
She said this could appeal to adults looking to change careers or to people working in early childhood education who want to advance from a teacher to a director position.
“It makes growth in the field much more accessible to people, and it really credits them for what they already know,” said Carson.
Competency-based education is also offered for other types of degrees at other schools. This is believed to be a first for early childhood education at a public college.
All of the courses are available online so you can earn this degree anywhere.
School leaders say others have reached out to them about their early childhood education model.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation at the wholesale level jumped 8.7% in August from a year earlier, a slowdown from July yet still a painfully high level that suggests prices will keep spiking for months to come.
Wednesday’s report from the Labor Department also showed that on a month-to-month basis, the producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — declined 0.1% from July to August, the second straight monthly decline.
Yet the better readings mostly reflect plunging gas prices and don’t necessarily point to a broader slowdown in inflation. A measure that excludes the volatile food and energy categories — so-called core prices — rose 0.4% from July to August and 7.3% in August compared with a year ago.
The cost of services — which are increasingly driving consumer inflation — rose 0.4% in August, driven by higher prices for public transportation, car rentals and some financial services.
Still, there were a few encouraging signs in Wednesday’s report: Wholesale food costs were flat from July to August, after a 1.3% spike the previous month. And wholesale goods prices overall fell 1.2%, suggesting that goods prices for consumers could soon decline.
On Tuesday, the government reported that consumer inflation was rampant across much of the economy in August. Apart from cheaper gas, consumer prices for everything from food and rents to furniture, medical care and new cars got pricier last month. The worse-than-expected consumer price spikes sent the stock market tumbling to its worst day in more than two years on fears that the Federal Reserve will turn even more aggressive in raising interest rates to fight inflation.
Wednesday’s producer price data captures inflation at an earlier stage of production and can often signal where consumer prices are headed. It also feeds into the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, which is called the personal consumption expenditures price index.

Texas running back Bijan Robinson is one of the top prospects, regardless of position, as the college football season progresses and we look ahead to the 2023 NFL Draft. CBS Sports' No. 1 ranked running back exploded for 1,127 rushing yards (5.8 yards per carry) and 11 rushing touchdowns last season to go along with 295 receiving yards and four receiving scores. He's expected to be even better this fall for a Longhorns team looking to win their first Big 12 title since 2009.

- 2021: First-team All-Big 12 (coaches, Associated Press)

- 2020: First freshman to lead team in all-purpose yards in a season since 2001 (Cedric Benson)
Initial scouting report
"Robinson is an effective and efficient runner showing great burst and balance. He is able to slow his feet in traffic and re-direct at a moment's notice. The third-year runner avoided 88 tackles last season, which was the fifth most, according to TruMedia. The Arizona native was a productive pass-catcher for the Longhorns in 2021 as well. The only obstacle standing between Robinson and hearing his name called in the first round of the NFL Draft is positional value. The 2022 NFL Draft was the first without a running back selected in the first round since 2014." -- CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Josh Edwards

Humble and kind. Smart and talented. Determined, persistent and dedicated. These are just a few of the qualities that describe the 50 Women of Distinction honored by Coastal Bend Publishing this month.
The presentation of these women and their accomplishments was held Thursday, Aug. 25, in the Gertrude R. Jones Auditorium at Coastal Bend College in Beeville. In addition to the nominees, their family, friends and colleagues also gathered to witness this night of praise. For this golden group of 50 women, the evening offered them a moment to shine in the spotlight and to be acknowledged for all that they do in their communities.
Nominations were solicited from the public in each of the six newspapers that form the portfolio of Coastal Bend Publishing here: the Beeville Bee-Picayune, the Goliad Advance-Guard, the Refugio County Press, The News of San Patricio, The Progress and the Karnes Countywide. The nominations were then gathered to provide a list of potential inaugural recipients for the Coastal Bend Women of Distinction program which got underway with an announcement in early summer.
A group of anonymous and independent judges were then called upon to sift through the nominations and winnow it down to 50 for this first class of Women of Distinction.
Dennis Wade, vice president and publisher of Coastal Bend Publishing LLC, greeted the first class of 50 Women of Distinction.
“I have learned in life and in business, that if you have a good ‘why,’ the what and the how will take care of itself,” Wade said, noting that each woman chosen for an honor on this night possessed a “why” as their purpose and sense of duty.
Raised in Beaumont, Texas, Wade said there were three important women in his life from whom he drew inspiration for his remarks.
“My first was my grandmother. My mother’s mother. We affectionately called her Nanny,” he said. His grandmother had eight children and “an infinite number of grandchildren.”
“My grandmother taught me that when you’re talking to somebody, anybody, and this is a profound effect this woman of distinction had on me, talk to them as if they are the only person in the room,” Wade said.
“When she looked at me and said, ‘Dennis, how are you doing?’, she meant it,” he said.
His mother taught him to get up every day and start walking, “a profoundly important lesson in life,” he added. He also praised his wife of 26 years for her love and support, calling each of these three women fundamental to his understanding of the term, distinction.Wade also thanked Coastal Bend College and Dr. Justin Hoggard, its president, saying the college had been indispensable in providing accommodation for the event. The college was a distinguished sponsor of the event, contributing a venue and other financial assistance that helped made the quality of the evening possible, he said. Also contributing as elite sponsors were Bethune Dye & Enright PLLC Beeville.
The keynote speaker was Judge Starr Bauer, who presides on the 36th Judicial District Court. Her district includes many of the counties represented by women during the event including Aransas, Bee, Live Oak, McMullen, and San Patricio counties. Bauer is a member of the State Bar of Texas, as well as a life member of the Texas Law Foundation. Accompanying her to the evening event was her husband of 30 years, attorney Boyd Bauer.
Bauer studied economics at Vanderbilt University receiving her bachelor of arts there, and followed that with a law degree the South Texas College of Law. She is a member and a past president of the Rotary Club of Beeville.
Prior to the start of her speech, she was asked what special thought she had for the evening’s recipients.
She said that women wear “so many hats” in this modern era, and that the women to be honored each represent the strength of their communities.
What is important for each of them, Bauer said, “Keep setting the goals and keep using your talents to achieve them.”
Later, at the podium, the judge inspired and entertained in a clever speech that intertwined her words with a fine singing voice and song choices that punctuated her discussion. Her words, some musical, were filled with insight and proclaimed a keen litany of other women of distinction in Texas history.
She began her speech by taking note of those who had accompanied the chosen 50 to the event.
“I want to thank the guests so much, because I know that the women would not be here without the love and the support and the encouragement of the family and friends that make up the guests,” Bauer said.
“In preparing my speech, I realized that every woman is a woman with distinction. But I started to think about the women of distinction and what characteristics make that possible. I have to tell you that the first thing I thought of was Texan,” she said.
Bauer pointed out that in her opinion, the women of Texas are unique.
“And all of the women here this evening, you are Texan, either by birth of by adoption,” she said. “You are here tonight and honored here tonight because you are a woman with initiative and persistence. You are a woman of intelligence and smarts. You are a woman with talent and a heart of service. And may you always be a woman who is humble and kind,” she told the assembly.
Commenting on the legacy of Austin’s Janis Joplin, San Antonio’s Carole Burnett, the late Texas Gov. Ann Richards, actress Ginger Rogers, Barbara Jordan, lawyer and member of the U.S. Congress, artist Georgia O’Keeffe, and the saviors of the site of the Alamo, Clara Driscoll and Adina De Zavala, Bauer said that each of those women shared qualities with those seated before her now.
“Change the stage. Change the time. These stories are your stories,” she told the class of 50.
Wade then returned to the podium and thanked the four young women selected to be the first group of four Future Women of Distinction. These college students and recent college graduates acted as hostesses throughout the evening and were chosen by faculty and administrators at Coastal Bend College. These women are: Alexandra Gaona, Amber Beish, Belen San Miguel and Emma Ramirez, a recent graduate with a degree in cosmetology.
He also thanked Beeville ISD High School Culinary Arts vocational program students and their teacher for both preparing and serving food prior to the start of the evening’s festivities. Students participating were: Maggie Seger, 15, sophomore; Sandra Balderas, 15, sophomore, Jose Aquilar, 17, junior; Madison Cano, 15, sophomore; and Zelica Banta, 15, sophomore. Their teacher, instructor Richie Jones, said the students are part of a large contingent of approximately 180 students now enrolled in culinary arts courses at the high school.
“They worked very hard and we are grateful,” Wade said.
For the presentation portion of the evening, Wade pointed to a projection above the audience that listed comments presented during the nomination process. Highlighted were terms such as selfless, bold, independent and one he said he like particularly, the heartbeat of the business.
“Somebody nominated you. Somebody thought enough of you to be here,” he told the audience. “They looked at something written about you and they decided you were a woman of distinction. So please give yourself a round of applause.”
One by one, each came forward as their name was called, to receive from the hands of Bauer, their certificate of achievement and an inscribed golden pin with a blue stone, especially made for them. One by one, they posed for a commemorative photo with the judge.
The 2022 50 Women of Distinction are:
• Angie Ponce
• Anna Marie Silvas
• Belinda Aguirre
• Bertha Martinez
• Braden Becknell
• Brittany Lugo
• Cecilia Rios
• Celeste Sims
• Celia Ruiz
• Donna Smith
• Dr. Patricia Rehak

• Esther Ramirez
• Evie Bethune
• Gloria De La Garza

• Rosalia Ena Pena.
• Rosaura De Los Santos Bailey.
• Rosemary Vickery.
• Susie Clapsaddle.
• Teresa Holland.
• Dr. Tiffany Spicer.
• Virginia Wall.
• Yvonne Moran-Hickel
Of that group, unable to attend due to previous commitments were: Letitia Trevino, Mickie Trevino, Wilkinson, Bethune, Galindo, De Los Santos Bailey, Bertha Martinez and Powell.
One of the 50, Keli Miller, was chosen for her contributions to Goliad where she serves as the director of the Main Street Board there. With her were her parents, and fellow board member, Maine Street Vice-Chair Peggy Cowey, and friend, Rhoda Beth Chandler Mapes.
Miller said she was surprised when she heard she had been nominated and then chosen. What she said she enjoys most about her position is the opportunity “to bring people to our downtown district.” Her words are representative of each of the honorees.
There was a particularly poignant moment for one of the awardees, Celia Ruiz of Three Rivers. In the audience was Fernando Salinas, a Vietnam Veteran from Kenedy, who so many years ago was the pen pal of Ruiz, who sent him letters of support from home. As the two met on the stage, they hugged and he held in his hand, two of the letters, carefully preserved.
At the conclusion of the night’s presentations, Wade said he had one request of each of the honorees.
“When I started this project, I had no idea,” if we would do this again, he said, stating that in light of the evening, this would be continued in the future.
“When we send out the nominations next year, you pick someone. You find a distinguished woman. You submit their name.,” Wade said.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Irene Papas, the Greek actress and recording artist renowned for her dramatic performances and austere beauty that earned her prominent roles in Hollywood movies as well as in French and Italian cinema over six decades has died. She was 93.
The Greek Culture Ministry confirmed her death Wednesday.
“Magnificent, majestic, dynamic, Irene Papas was the personification of Greek beauty on the cinema screen and on the theater stage, an international leading lady who radiated Greekness,” Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said in a statement. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis described her as a source of “admiration and inspiration” to generations of Greeks.
Papas became known internationally following performances in “The Guns of Navarone” in 1961 and “Zorba the Greek” in 1964, acting alongside Hollywood stars Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn. In all, she starred in more than 50 movies.
Born Irene Lelekou in the mountainous village of Chiliomodi, Papas was the daughter of two schoolteachers. Her father also taught drama.
She left home at 18 to marry Greek film director Alkis Papas despite her family’s disapproval. They divorced four years later. After the death of American Actor Marlon Brando in 2004, Papas revealed in an Italian newspaper interview that the two had been romantically involved.
A supporter of the Greek Communist Party, Papas was a vocal opponent of the military dictatorship that governed the country between 1967 and 1974 and lived much for life outside Greece, including in Rome and New York.
Papas was also known for her appearance in ancient Greek tragedies. Many of her iconic international movie roles were earned portraying Greek characters. But she also starred with Kirk Douglas in the 1968 crime drama “Brotherhood” and with James Cagney in the 1956 Western “Tribute to a Bad Man.”
Greek arts institutions thanked Papas for her support for younger actors. The Athens-based Greek Film Center described her as “The greatest Greek international film star,” adding: “Her image is a timeless imprint of Greek female beauty.”
Papas publicly joked that she was often quoted as being three years older than her actual age. She started a 2004 interview with Greek state television by saying, “I was born on Sept. 3, 1929. All the papers are there in Chiliomodi,” which is located near the southern Greek city of Corinth.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Nashville Predators announced Ronda Engelhardt will become a North American amateur scout based out of Minnesota, the first female scout hired by the team.
The hiring of Engelhardt on Wednesday comes a day after the Calgary Flames added Rebecca Johnston for a player development role and the Seattle Kraken promoted Alexandra Mandrycky to assistant general manager after three years as director of hockey strategy and research.
Engelhardt has been head coach of the Premier Hockey Federation's Minnesota Whitecaps the past four seasons and won the Isobel Cup in 2019. The native of Roseville, Minnesota, was a U.S. women's national team player and captain at the University of Minnesota in 2002-03.
She previously was an assistant hockey coach at Division III St. Thomas and the girls high school head coach at the Breck School in Minnesota.
General manager David Poile also announced Sebastian Bordeleau has joined coach John Hynes' staff as a skills coach. Nathan Gerbe was hired to replace Bordeleau as the Predators' forward development coach, working with assistant general manager Scott Nichol evaluating Nashville's prospects.
Former NHL player Brett Carson has joined assistant general manager Jeff Kealty's staff as a North American Amateur Scout for the western part of the United States and Canada. Jason Nordby is the Predators' new assistant strength and conditioning coach after 17 seasons as strength coach with the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals.
Michael Bingham joins the Predators' equipment staff as a coordinator, and Jon Sherman was hired as hockey operations coordinator and analyst.

Director Ayan Mukherji is basking on the success of Brahmastra but that hasn't stopped him from the pre-production of the second instalment. While the first part took eight years to hit the big screen, the team is planning to release Brahmastra 2 - Dev in 2025. However, all eyes are now on Dev! Who would play the role of Dev? While several names like Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor playing a dual role (as father and son) are making rounds, netizens are keen to see Ranveer Singh as Dev and Deepika Padukone as Amritha.
The sequel will chronicle the life of Dev and will juggle between the past and present. When quipped about the same, director Ayan said, "I can answer very few things about Dev. The idea was to create a very clear indication of where we are going next with the storytelling. Now we are really getting into the story of our antagonist. Decoding it, giving you some hook to hang on to for part two. Dev is the fulcrum of the entire Brahmastra trilogy."
Somewhere in between Mohan Bhargav of #Swades and Mohan Bhargav of #Brahmastra - We all grew up. ❤️ #ShahRukhKhan #KingKhan

#ShahRukhKhan? #SRK? #Brahamastra pic.twitter.com/siATU8Oiqq
Adding further details, the director said, "I feel we will come into our own with our storytelling in part two. I have known that for a long time. Part one was just the foundation, the setup of this story. But I can't tell you who Dev is. When the time is right, I will announce."
Meanwhile, fans are looking forward to a spin-off of Shah Rukh Khan's character from the film. SRK played the role of a scientist Mohan Bhargav - his characters from Swadesh. Now fans are looking forward to a separate film on SRK's Varanastra.
"Before the fans were saying it, we were also saying that ourselves. When we were shooting the sequence in 2019, we were also saying on sets," Ayan was quoted by a leading daily.

Exactly a week after foiling an attempt to revive the Al-Qaeda affiliate in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces on Wednesday evening eliminated two more terrorists associated with Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH).
Earlier on September 7, two terrorists of AGuH were killed by security forces. AGuH is Al-Qaeda's offshoot in Jammu and Kashmir.
Reports said that two terrorists were killed on Wednesday evening in an encounter with security forces in the Nowgam area of Srinagar district. According to police, two local terrorists were killed in a gunfight in Nowgam.
Earlier, on a specific input generated by Jammu and Kashmir Police, an encounter started in the Nowgam area of Srinagar district.
The killed terrorists were affiliated with terror outfit AGuH and identified as Aijaz Rasool Nazar of Pulwama and Shahid Ahmad alias Abu Hamza. They were involved in the recent terrorist attack on non-local labourer namely Muneer ul Islam from West Bengal on September 2 in Pulwama.
According to police, Shahid, a resident of Malpora Budgam and Ajaz Rasool Najar of Karimabad had gone missing a few days ago.
Pak-based mentors are trying to revive Al-Qaeda's offshoots in J&K
During the last week, four terrorists of AGuH have been killed in Kashmir Valley which is a clear indication that Pakistan-based terror mentors are trying to revive Al-Qaeda's offshoots in Jammu and Kashmir.
Killed #terrorists were affiliated with #terror outfit AGuH & identified as Aijaz Rasool Nazar of Pulwama & Shahid Ahmad @ Abu Hamza. They were involved in recent #terror attack on an outside labourer namely Muneer ul Islam from West Bengal on 2/9/22 in Pulwama: ADGP Kashmir https://t.co/tywlpSKTly
— Kashmir Zone Police (@KashmirPolice) September 14, 2022
On August 7, two terrorists of the same outfits were eliminated in a "chance encounter" in the Bijbehara area of South Kashmir's Anantnag district. The killed terrorists were planning to strengthen Al-Qaeda's offshoot in Jammu and Kashmir.
By luring innocent youth, the eliminated terrorists were working to set up terror modules in different areas of Kashmir Valley in general and South Kashmir in particular.
Sources said that material recovered from the possession of the eliminated terrorists revealed that terror mentors sitting across the border are trying to revive Al-Qaeda's offshoot in the Valley.
The killed terrorists were identified as Fayaz Ahmad Kumar alias Faheem Kumar son of Mohammad Ramzan Kumar and Owais Ahmad Khan son of Ghulam Mohammad Khan, both residents of Waghama Bijbehara who were affiliated with the AGuH group.
Grenade attack on CRPF in Tral
Terrorists on Wednesday evening lobbed a grenade on a bunker of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the Tral area of South Kashmir's Pulwama district.
A top police officer said that terrorists lobbed a grenade at a bunker of a CRPF camp. However, the grenade missed the intended target and exploded far away. In this incident, no loss of life or injury has been reported. Meanwhile, the whole area has been cordoned off to nab the attackers.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A new privately funded get-out-the-vote initiative in Wisconsin’s largest and most Democratic city has the support of Milwaukee’s mayor, but Republicans say it’s an attempt by Democrats to improperly bolster turnout in the narrowly divided battleground state.
The controversy over the Milwaukee Votes 2022 initiative echoes concerns raised by Republicans in 2020 when a Mark Zuckerberg-funded group distributed millions of dollars in grants to support local elections offices in Wisconsin and throughout the country as COVID-19 complicated the presidential election.
Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson helped fuel Republican skepticism when he suggested that the city may be assisting with the new get-out-the-vote initiative funded by private grants. The mayor's office later clarified that he was only voicing support for the efforts, which are being funded and carried out without government assistance, although Johnson did say the city would add a widget to its website promoting it.
That hasn't stopped Republicans from raising alarms. Several Republican state lawmakers submitted open records requests for communications between Milwaukee officials and groups involved with the initiative.
“There is no question that third-party partisan money continues to be used in collusion with election officials in heavily Democrat areas to help Democrat candidates win elections," said state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, chair of the Assembly's Elections Committee. She has been one of the leading supporters of decertifying President Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump in 2020, a move that Republican leaders have said would be unconstitutional and won't happen.
Johnson's office stressed that Milwaukee Votes 2022 is entirely made up of nonpartisan efforts to register voters and encourage voting.
“There is no indication that it supports partisan efforts, and I have no indication that anything that’s underway is illegal in any way," said Jeff Fleming, a spokesman for mayor.
Fleming said it was a “mistaken impression” for anyone to think the mayor implied the city was financing or receiving money as part of Milwaukee Votes 2022.
“The city’s posture is any nonpartisan effort to encourage people to vote is welcome in Milwaukee,” he said.
Private grant money for elections administration has been the focus of many conspiracy theories since 2020, when the Chicago-based Center for Tech and Civic Life, with funding from Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder and CEO, distributed grants to Democratic and Republican areas across the state and country.
"Milwaukee Votes 2022 is essentially Zuckerbucks 2.0. This must stop now," Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Speaker Pro Tempore Tyler August, Assistant Majority Leader Kevin Petersen and Wisconsin Election Commission chair Don Millis said in a joint statement Tuesday. The group also accused Democrats of allowing “suspicious activity” and partisan meddling in elections.
Milwaukee received more than $1.1 million from CTCL in 2020, which it used to pay poll workers and purchase long-term investments such as high-speed voting tabulators. Wisconsin elections offices received a total of more than $3.3 million, mostly in small grants of $5,000 to local clerks.
The grants have withstood several legal challenges in state and federal courts. The state's Republican-controlled Legislature last year approved a proposal for a constitutional ban on election grants. Their choice to pursue a constitutional amendment means Democratic Gov. Tony Evers can't veto the proposal, which would also have to be passed during next year's legislative session and a in statewide vote before it could become law.
In conversations with The Associated Press, most clerks from Wisconsin cities that received large private grants in 2020 said they weren't worried about funding elections without that assistance in 2022.
“We certainly have hopefully a more normal election to run in November, and we definitely have had a lot more time to prepare for it than 2020,” Claire Woodall-Vogg, executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, said in June.

Exclusive-Biden urges Mexico to take migrants under COVID expulsion order he promised to end
By Ted Hesson, Dave Graham and Humeyra Pamuk
WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -As border crossings have soared to record highs, U.S. President Joe Biden's administration is quietly pressing Mexico to accept more migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela under a COVID-19 expulsion order that the White House has publicly sought to end, seven U.S. and three Mexican officials said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised concerns about an escalating number of crossings by migrants from the three countries during a visit on Monday to Mexico City, two U.S. and two Mexican officials told Reuters, but Mexico did not promise any specific actions.
One U.S. official said trying to convince Mexico to agree is "an uphill battle."
All sources requested anonymity to discuss internal government matters.
Mexico already accepts U.S. returns of migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. So far, this fiscal year about 299,000 people from those nations have been expelled at the border, compared to about 9,000 returns from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
The U.S. effort to pressure Mexico on these three particular nationalities illustrates the depth of concern within the Biden's Democratic administration about their border crossings. Most migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela who cross into the United States are allowed to stay to pursue asylum claims, since they are difficult to deport due to frosty diplomatic relations with their governments.
Mexico's foreign ministry declined to comment. A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council declined to discuss "diplomatic conversations" but said that nations in the region "have already begun to take collective responsibility to manage migration flows, including through repatriations."
U.S. border agents have made a record 1.8 million migrant arrests so far in fiscal year 2022, with many attempting to cross multiple times, creating humanitarian challenges and political liabilities for Biden ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm election.
Of those arrests at the southwest border, nearly a quarter of the migrants were from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, up from 8% in 2021 and 3% in 2020. Most were let into the United States to pursue immigration cases.
The Biden administration has publicly sought to end the COVID health order, known as Title 42. Issued in early 2020 under former Republican President Donald Trump, it allows U.S. border authorities to rapidly expel migrants to Mexico or other countries without the chance to seek U.S. asylum. A federal Trump-appointed judge in Louisiana blocked the administration from ending the order earlier this year, even as U.S. health officials said it was no longer needed to protect against COVID spread.
But behind closed doors, some Biden officials still view expanding expulsions as a way to deter crossers, one of the U.S. officials said, even if it contradicts the Democratic Party's more welcoming message toward migrants.
Advocates and many Democrats fiercely oppose Title 42, saying it has exposed migrants to dangerous conditions in Mexico, including kidnapping and extortion.
"I think this really betrays their commitments to refugee protection," said Robyn Barnard, associate director for refugee advocacy with the New York City-based non-profit organization Human Rights First.
MEXICO HESITANT
Two Mexican officials told Reuters that Mexico does not want to take Cubans, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans expelled from the United States because those countries resist accepting deportation flights from Mexico as well.
Instead, Mexico aims to step up internal flights of migrants from its northern border to its southern border to relieve pressure on the shared frontier, one of the officials said.
Mexico would like Washington to relax economic sanctions against Venezuela to help curb the exodus from the country and make it easier for migrants to work in the United States legally, two Mexican officials said.
Meanwhile, U.S. border officials in El Paso, Texas, say they have been forced to release hundreds of migrants on city streets near shelters and bus stations to ease overcrowding at their facilities.
Many of the Venezuelans arriving have no family members or sponsors, further straining charity and government agencies that assist them, said Mario D'Agostino, El Paso's deputy city manager.
The Democrat-controlled city has contracted charter buses to carry migrants north to New York City, an effort that comes after the Republican governors of Texas and Arizona drew national attention by busing thousands of migrants to Democrat-led northern cities.
PRESSURING OTHER NATIONS
Biden officials are also exploring ways to push responsibility to other nations beyond Mexico, sources said.
For example, the White House wants Panama to accept deported Venezuelans if they passed through the Central American nation en route to the United States, two of the U.S. officials said.
Nearly 70,000 Venezuelans entered Panama from its Colombian border this year through August, compared with 1,150 in the same period last year, according to official data.
Panamanian government officials did not respond to a request for comment.
Separately, the Biden administration had been sending a small number of Venezuelans to the Dominican Republic on commercial flights, two of the U.S. officials said, a continuation of a Trump-era practice.
But the program was halted after pushback earlier this year from the office of Senator Robert Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey, according to one of the U.S. officials and a person familiar with the matter. In February, Menendez called deporting migrants fleeing Venezuela's "cruel regime" to third countries "extremely disturbing."

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a judge needs to decide whether the state attorney general had the right to give $75 million of a $600 million settlement with the federal government over nuclear material storage to private attorneys who helped broker the deal.
Government watchdog John Crangle sued over the fees paid as pat of the 2020 settlement of South Carolina's lawsuit because the federal government repeatedly failed to meet deadlines to remove plutonium at the Savannah River Site near Aiken. His South Carolina Public Interest Foundation said they were excessive.
Attorney General Alan Wilson argued he had the sole discretion to determine how much was paid to the private lawyers who helped his agency. Law firms Davidson, Wren & DeMasters and Willoughby & Hoefer were given $75 million, or 12.5% of the $600 million overall settlement.
The state Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that Crangle didn't have the legal right to challenge the fee.
Whether the $75 million was excessive will now be decided by a lower court.
In Wednesday's ruling, the Supreme Court pointed out the matter was of great public interest because Wilson's office has seven other similar agreements with private firms helping his office out with other lawsuits including opioids, insulin and Google advertising.
The General Assembly spent the remaining $525 million as part of this year's budget.

Ex-town official pleads guilty to Capitol riot charge
(AP) – A former Massachusetts town official pleaded guilty on Wednesday to joining a mob in storming the U.S. Capitol after she organized a bus trip to Washington, D.C., for fellow members of a right-wing group called “Super Happy Fun America.”
Before her guilty plea, Suzanne Ianni had argued in February that federal authorities had selectively targeted her for prosecution based on her political beliefs. Prosecutors said her political views played no role in charging her with crimes for her conduct at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A judge rejected Ianni’s request to dismiss the case before she pleaded guilty.
Ianni, 60, of Natick, Massachusetts, faces a maximum sentence of six months of imprisonment and five years of probation after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols is scheduled to sentence her on Dec. 2.
Ianni was an elected member of Natick Town Meeting in a Boston suburb while serving as operation director of Super Happy Fun America, which gained national notoriety for organizing a “Straight Pride Parade” in Boston in 2019.
On its website, Super Happy Fun America calls itself “a right of center civil rights organization focusing on defending the Constitution, opposing gender madness and defeating cultural Marxism.” The group registered as a nonprofit with Massachusetts state regulators.
A Dec. 29, 2020, post on the group’s Twitter account said Super Happy Fun America members would be in Washington “to get wild.” Ianni was listed as the contact for the trip. The account also tweeted a photo of Ianni and other members on a bus traveling to Washington on the eve of the riot.
After marching to the Capitol, she joined a crowd chanting “Fight for Trump!” and “Our house!” while rioters near her broke windows, forced open doors and breached police barricades. Surveillance video captured Ianni marching through the Capitol after she entered the building through a Senate fire-exit door. She raised her fist in the air in front of police officers who stopped her and other members of the mob, prosecutors said in a court filing.
Mark Sahady, another Super Happy Fun America member, was arrested on Capitol riot-related charges that haven’t been resolved.
In April 2021, Natick Town Meeting members voted to condemn the Capitol riot. Ianni, who was elected to a three-year term that was due to expire in March 2022, told the MetroWest Daily News that the vote represented “political persecution of conservatives.”
More than 870 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Jan. 6 riot. Approximately 400 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors, and over 250 have been sentenced.
___
This version of story has been corrected to reflect that Judge Carl Nichols did deny Suzanne Ianni’s request to dismiss her case before she pleaded guilty.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, diets high in processed meats, such as bacon, ham, hot dogs, lunch meat, and sausage, may kill more than 100,000 people every year. Most deaths are due to heart disease, but cancer and diabetes also take lives. Eating meat-heavy diets results in millions of healthy years of life lost every year around the world—and it doesn't take much. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimated that thousands of annual cancer deaths could be averted if Americans cut down meat intake to just one ounce a week.
Physician and author of The New York Times bestsellers How Not to Die and How Not to Diet, Michael Greger, M.D. FACLM, weighs in: "It is as if each burger a person consumes is taking 30 minutes off their life. So, lifespan-wise, one burger appears to equal two cigarettes. If it wouldn't occur to someone to light up at lunch, then maybe choose the bean burrito instead of the hamburger. And processed meat is even worse."
Alternatively, you can compare life-extending behaviors. According to research, a lifetime of eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day may add an average of four years onto the lifespan of men and three years for women. That's up to twice as beneficial as exercising every day. Exercise still offers a 3:1 return on your time investment, though. Just 20 minutes of physical activity may add an hour to lifespan.

(The Hill) – People on Social Security could see a huge spike in their checks from a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) that is itself a result of inflation.
In a letter sent on Tuesday, Senior Citizen League policy analyst Mary Johnson said recipients could see an 8.7 percent COLA spike next year.
That’s a huge increase reflective of the high inflation people are experiencing across the country, though at the same time it is actually a smaller COLA than the SCL projected just a month ago. At the time, Johnson was forecasting a 9.6 percent hike.
“After evaluating the August consumer price data, what I’m finding clearly illustrates the weakness in our inflation adjustment system for Social Security. My COLA estimate has dropped to 8.7% almost a full percentage point from the 9.6% that I forecast last month, Johnson wrote in her letter.
“That was a significant drop, but the Consumer Price Index, CPI-W (CPI-W), the index that Social Security benefits are based on, has decreased even —by 1.10 percentage point year over year to 8.7%,” the letter stated.
The 8.7 percent COLA would increase the average retiree’s benefit from the $1,656 they receive monthly to $1,800 by next year, an increase of $144.10.
This is also the highest COLA increase since 1982 when the Social Security Administration (SSA) estimated a 7.4 percent increase in the cost-of-living adjustment.
That might not translate into much more money for people living on their Social Security checks, however, given rising costs for goods and healthcare expenses.
“Across the board, retired and disabled Social Security recipients spend a bigger portion of their incomes on healthcare costs, housing, and food and less on gasoline,” Johnson said. “Over the past 12 months, they rank food costs as their fastest growing expenditure, housing, and transportation in that order.”
The Labor Department on Tuesday announced that consumer prices rose in August by 0.1 percent despite a drop in gas prices, news that triggered a steep stock selloff by aggravating concerns that inflation is not easing.

MEGHAN Markle made a touching tribute to her husband's grandmother today as she joined the rest of the royal family at the Queen's funeral procession.
Meghan wore a pair of pearl earrings which she received back in 2018 and subsequently wore during her only solo engagement with the Queen the same year.
During the engagement, Meghan and the Queen travelled to Cheshire to open the new Mersey Gateway Bridge.
Meghan told Oprah Winfrey during her infamous interview that the Queen gifted her the earrings, along with a matching pearl necklace.
"We had breakfast together that morning, and she'd given me a beautiful gift, and I just really loved being in her company," she told Oprah.
Wearing pearls are part of a royal tradition, which Kate Middleton also adhered to as she donned a pearl necklace.
White pearls are officially worn during the mourning period by the family.
They are often referred to as “mourning jewellery”, and this dates back to Queen Victoria’s reign.
Following the death of her husband Prince Albert, Queen Victoria famously wore black for 40 years in tribute.
The only jewellery she wore was black or colourless, and strands of pearls were a frequent feature.
Most read in Lifestyle
The pearls were thought to be symbolic of tears, according to The Telegraph.
The Duchess paired the earrings with a sleek hairstyle and black coat dress, along with a black netted veil, as is also tradition.
She joined Camilla, The Queen Consort, Kate, The Princess of Wales, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, in cars behind her husband, who marched behind his grandmother's coffin.

The safest and most reliable cars for teens for under $25,000
( iSeeCars ) – The moment your teen gets their driver’s license can be bittersweet. While it’s exciting to be officially relieved of chauffeur duties, it’s also frightening handing the keys over to a newly-minted driver. And for parents who choose to help their teen with the car search financially, it can be difficult to find a safe and reliable car that falls within budget, especially in the current used car market.
To help parents find peace of mind, iSeeCars determined the safest and most reliable cars for teens across multiple vehicle categories for under $25,000. These cars achieved a score of 8.5 or above (out of 10) on an iSeeCars quality analysis that takes into account long-term reliability and the average safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). While standard and available advanced safety features vary across models, the cars on this list have basic safety features like electronic stability control and front airbags. Additionally, the vehicles on this list have a combined MPG of over 20 to help minimize the amount of money new drivers will need to spend on gas.

Important Safety Features to Protect Teen Drivers
When choosing a car for your teen driver, it’s important to consider a vehicle’s driver assistance features. Newer vehicles are more likely to have these advanced driver assistance features, but there are other safety features that are commonly found on older model vehicles. Here are the most important safety features to consider:
- Electronic stability control (ESC) : Electronic stability control automatically applies the brakes when a vehicle skids or slides on slippery surfaces or curvy roads. This safety technology is so important that it has been required in most vehicles since 2012.
- Backup/Rear cameras: Backup/Rear cameras have been mandatory in new vehicles as of May 2018 . However, this technology is common in older vehicles.
- Forward-collision warning with automatic braking: This technology uses sensors to detect what’s in front of your car while monitoring your car’s speed. If a crash is imminent, it will give a warning. If you don’t stop on your own, the system will automatically apply the brakes.
- Blind spot threat detection. Blind spot detection uses sensors to alert drivers to vehicles that are not yet visible but are in adjacent lanes.
Bottom Line:
Having a teen driver can be worrisome, but the car buying experience doesn’t have to be. Whatever your vehicle preference, there is a high-quality used vehicle to suit your needs for under $25,000. Making a good choice for a teen’s first vehicle purchase can provide much-needed peace-of-mind.

(The Hill) – Amtrak will cancel all long-distance trains beginning on Thursday to avoid disruptions in advance of a potential rail worker strike later this week.
An Amtrak spokesperson said the changes will ensure trains can reach their destinations before the strike, which could begin as early as Friday, and the adjustments could soon extend to other routes.
Amtrak is not involved in the contract negotiations between rail workers and freight companies, but many of its trains run on railroads owned by third parties that would shut down if a strike takes place.
“While we are hopeful that parties will reach a resolution, Amtrak has now begun phased adjustments to our service in preparation for a possible freight rail service interruption later this week,” the spokesperson said. “Such an interruption could significantly impact intercity passenger rail service.”
More than 115,000 rail workers are legally allowed to strike as of Friday, a deadline that has attracted a great deal of attention in Washington as lawmakers fear price gains and supply chain bottlenecks from the potential shutdown, which would add to already high inflation rates.
The new suspensions, which begin on Thursday, include Amtrak’s Auto Train service, which runs between Lorton, Va. and Sanford, Fla., and its Capitol Limited service, which runs between Washington, D.C. and Chicago.
Amtrak said it will also suspend its Cardinal service, which runs between New York City and Chicago, and its Palmetto service between D.C. and Savannah, Ga.
Palmetto trains north of D.C., which use Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, have not been suspended.
Amtrak owns that rail line, which runs between Boston and D.C., so the company says “only a small number” of departures on the line as well as branches to Albany, N.Y., Harrisburg, Pa., and Springfield, Ma., will be affected.
The rail service said it will offer customers the ability to either change their travel to another date or receive a full refund.
Amtrak began suspending some of its longest routes on Tuesday and has since added additional cancellations, with 14 total routes now suspended as of Thursday.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) on Wednesday became the first union to authorize a strike, with its nearly 5,000 workers rejecting a contract based on a White House-appointed board’s recommendations last month.
The contract proposal would implement 24 percent raises and back pay, but workers are demanding more predictable scheduling and the ability to take time off for doctors’ appointments without being penalized.
Fearing the potential economic fallout of a walkout, lawmakers are preparing to use congressional authority to block a strike.
Some GOP senators have backed a bill that would approve the proposed contract, which is supported by railroads and business interests, and Democratic leaders have suggested they will intervene if no agreement is reached.
“All parties need to stay at the table, bargain in good faith to resolve outstanding issues, and come to an agreement,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday. “A shutdown of our freight rail system is an unacceptable outcome for our economy and the American people, and all parties must work to avoid just that.”

Quebec Premier François Legault might have well said “Pierre who?” when he was asked on Sunday what he thought about the Conservative Party of Canada’s new leader.
“I don’t know him,” Mr. Legault offered at a stop in Drummondville, Que., where his Coalition Avenir Québec had just held one of its biggest rallies of the provincial election campaign. What’s more, he claimed to have no idea what the populist Tory Leader stands for.
Yeah, right. He would need to have been living under the Rocher Percé for the past several months not to know where the no-vaccine-mandate, pro-trucker-convoy, anti-elite, bitcoin-loving new Conservative leader stands on the major issues of the day.
Still, Mr. Legault’s hesitation towards Mr. Poilievre is understandable. His decision to endorse the Tories in last year’s federal election campaign turned out to be a big blunder on his part. Despite Mr. Legault’s own lofty approval ratings at the time, Quebeckers rejected his advice.
How will Mr. Poilievre fare in the province that has not elected a majority of Conservative MPs since 1988, and where Tory support has hovered in the mid-teens in recent elections?
Not well, if Montreal-based media “gatekeepers” are to be believed. Mr. Poilievre’s promises to scrap Ottawa’s carbon tax (which does not apply in Quebec, since the province has its own cap-and-trade scheme) and repeal federal environmental assessment legislation adopted in 2019 has earned him a slew of negative coverage and derision on social media. As has his vow to smooth the way for pipelines through Quebec and a liquefied natural gas project in the Saguenay region that was rejected last year by both the federal and provincial governments.
On Sunday, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, co-spokesperson for the far-left Québec Solidaire, described Mr. Poilievre as a “Donald Trump imitator” who would be “dangerous for the planet.” That may not sound terribly original. But it does sum up Mr. Poilievre’s current image in Quebec.
Quebec MP Alain Rayes’s decision to quit the Conservatives after Mr. Poilievre’s victory in the leadership race speaks to the malaise within the party’s Quebec caucus over the direction the new leader will take the Tories. Only one MP among the 10-member Quebec Tory caucus – Pierre Paul-Hus – endorsed Mr. Poilievre. Mr. Rayes may not be the only one to leave the federal Tories.
Mr. Poilievre’s my-way-or-the-highway reaction to Mr. Rayes’s departure does not augur well for the Charest supporters in caucus. He characterized the resignation as a betrayal rather than a principled decision by an MP who could not countenance the angry political tone the new leader had set during the campaign.
“We are working to fight the inflationary deficits and taxes imposed by Justin Trudeau,” Mr. Poilievre said on Tuesday. “The citizens of Mr. Rayes’s riding agree: They voted for me in the leadership race.”
Well, that overstates matters. Mr. Poilievre got 358 votes in Mr. Rayes’s riding of Richmond-Arthabaska compared to 280 votes for Mr. Charest. The riding has more than 88,000 registered voters. Only 0.4 per cent of them voted for Mr. Poilievre.
There is no denying that Mr. Poilievre made quick work of Mr. Charest in his home province. He won in 72 of 78 ridings. But his victory is a testimony to the failure of the Charest campaign to sign up enough new members in the province. Instead, Mr. Charest won only 32 per cent of 7,800 points in Quebec. Mr. Poilievre won 62 per cent.
Quebec accounted for only 8.7 per cent, or about 36,000, of the 417,635 Tory leadership ballots cast across the country. Mr. Poilievre will need to woo a lot more Quebeckers than that before the next federal election.
Despite his bad press in Quebec up to now, no one should count him out. He speaks French better than any Tory leader since, well, Mr. Charest, who led the federal Progressive-Conservative Party between 1993 and 1998, and former PC prime minister Brian Mulroney, a native of Baie-Comeau, Que., who twice swept the province, in 1984 and 1988, on his way to winning big majorities nationally.
Mr. Poilievre’s ease in both official languages stands in stark contrast to the laboured French of Erin O’Toole and Andrew Scheer. Former prime minister Stephen Harper’s French was quite serviceable, but it did not exactly roll off his lips. Mr. Poilievre has no such handicap in the province where language matters most.
With his communication skills and a platform that promises Quebec more autonomy in areas such as culture and immigration – not to mention his dynamic trilingual Venezuelan-born and Montreal-raised wife at his side – Mr. Poilievre might yet make the Tories a contender in the province. Mr. Legault might even have to take note of him.

BMW to use injection-moulded plastics from recycled fishing nets and ropes in NEUE KLASSE models
14 September 2022
In a first for the automotive industry, the models of the NEUE KLASSE due to be launched from 2025 onwards will feature trim parts made of plastic the raw material of which contains around 30% recycled fishing nets and ropes. This raw material is proactively sourced at ports all around the world to ensure that it doesn’t end up being discarded in the sea.
Recycled nylon waste already forms the basis for a synthetic yarn from which the floor mats in the BMW iX and the new BMW X1, for example, are made. This material, known as ECONYL, is made from discarded fishing nets well as worn floor coverings and residual waste from plastics production.
In a new initiative developed in cooperation with the Danish company PLASTIX, the BMW Group is taking the recycling of maritime plastic waste a step further. After separation, fishing nets and ropes undergo an innovative process that produces plastic granules.
The granules are used to produce trim parts suitable for the exterior and interior of future vehicles. The resulting components have an approximately 25% lower carbon footprint than their counterparts made from conventionally manufactured plastics.
While recycled maritime plastic has so far only been used in the automotive industry in the form of fibers for new vehicle components, this recycled material is now also suitable for the injection moulding process for the first time. The raw material for the components manufactured in this way can consist of around 30% maritime plastic waste.
This creates additional application possibilities for recycled plastics. The components manufactured using the injection moulding process are trim parts that will be used in both non-visible and visible areas of the exterior and interior of the NEUE KLASSE models from 2025.
Overall, the BMW Group has set itself the target of increasing the proportion of secondary materials in the thermoplastics used in new vehicles from currently around 20% to an average of 40% by 2030.

Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke Wednesday at Liberty University's convocation, telling students, “You must be the freedom generation.”
“Today I tell you to prepare your minds for action. Take time in these years of study to understand what made this country special and unique,” Pence said.
This is the third visit for Pence, who served as the 48th vice president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 under President Donald Trump. Pence was a convocation speaker in October 2006 and a keynote speaker at LU's commencement in May 2019.
Pence was met with a warm welcome from students, faculty and guests present in LU's Vines Center.
He began his speech by discussing his early political influences, saying his biggest inspiration was former President Ronald Reagan.
Pence said he felt drawn to Reagan when he heard the former president’s vision for the country: a strong national defense, limited federal government and traditional moral values. The former vice president said he joined the "Reagan revolution" and “never looked back.”
People are also reading…
“President Reagan was before your time, but let me be clear, President Reagan was one of a kind,” Pence said to the students.
Pence described Reagan as the “great disruptor” and said his victory in 1980 changed the course of history because he was a conservative outsider who vigorously opposed the moderate Republican establishment of his day. He compared the election in 1980 to former President Donald Trump’s victory in 2017.
“He too disrupted the status quo. He challenged the establishment, and now there’s no turning back,” Pence said.
On June 24, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — the landmark legislation that made access to abortion a federal constitutional right in the United States.
Pence said because of that decision by the Supreme Court, "We've been given a new beginning to life."
In light of that, he urged the rising generation to continue to be champions for life.
"Truly we've only come to the end of the beginning. The battle for life continues," Pence said.
Pence gave a call to action to the current generation of college students at the university, saying American freedom is under attack like never before.
The former governor of Indiana urged students to let the Constitution be their guide — to understand it, to study it and to learn it.
“The truth is, your generation may be the last line of defense for the Constitution of the United States,” Pence said.
Emily Huseman, a junior pre-law student, said it was special to have the former vice president visit LU.
She appreciated how Pence challenged students to learn the Constitution.
“To be able to articulate that and to defend that and to be passionate about that is very crucial right now,” Huseman said.
Liberty University junior Gabriel Spencer said he took from Pence’s speech the idea of remaining faithful to the Founders' intent for the country.
“There’s a lot of people that are trying to deteriorate our Founders' intent of the Constitution,” Spencer said. “There is an emphasis that the former vice president made on being involved, voting and trying to protect our Founders' intent.”
Pence closed out his speech with a challenge.
“Renew your commitment to become men and women of integrity. The nation does need it,” Pence said.

Money approved for states to build car-charging network
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Biden administration said Wednesday it has approved ambitious plans by 34 states and Puerto Rico to create a national electric vehicle charging network as the U.S. begins in earnest its transition away from gas-powered transportation.
The plans’ approval means $900 million can begin to flow to the states, which are tasked with using money from President Joe Biden’s huge infrastructure law to form the network of chargers across the nation. Building out a reliable and convenient network is critical to spur more adoption of the technology, which is itself key to reducing greenhouse emissions that cause global warming.
The announcement came on the same day that Biden toured the North American International Auto Show in Detroit to tout the new law that includes tax incentives to purchase electric vehicles.
In practical terms, it means residents in some of those states could see charging stations start popping up along major travel corridors as early as next spring. Biden has a goal of ultimately installing 500,000 chargers across America and building a network of fast-charging stations across 53,000 miles of freeways from coast to coast.
“Unlocking this type of funding is an enormous step in getting the charging network out, which is something we absolutely need if we’re going to get full-scale deployment and adoption” of electric vehicles, said Nico Larco, director of Urbanism Next Center at the University of Oregon. “We don’t have the capacity now to power anywhere near the fleet that we need.”
Federal officials said they will continue to review the plans not approved in this round with the goal of approving all the states’ EV roadmaps by Sept. 30.
Biden’s infrastructure law provides $5 billion over five years for the electric vehicle charging network.
The funding announced Wednesday is specifically for installing the most powerful chargers along “alternative fuel corridors” — major freeways that connect states — with the goal of eliminating the “range anxiety” that keeps many people from purchasing electric vehicles or using them on long road trips. Under proposed guidelines, states would be required to install at least one four-port fast-charging station every 50 miles on these corridors and ensure they are within one mile of an off-ramp.
Some states received exemptions in rural areas for the 50-mile requirement, according to the approval letters.
An additional $2.5 billion in discretionary grants is also available to fund electric vehicle charging infrastructure in economically disadvantaged communities, rural areas and urban cores. And Biden’s recently passed Inflation Reduction Act includes $3 billion to spur electric vehicle adoption and charging accessibility in disadvantaged communities.
Some rural states have raised serious concerns about the proposed federal requirements that accompany the money, including the every 50-mile requirement.
State transportation officials in Wyoming joined with their counterparts in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota last month to urge the Biden administration to ease the qualification requirements.
The proposal to install a minimum of a four-port charging station, for example, would needlessly drive up costs in areas with few people and so far little demand for chargers, according to Wyoming Department of Transportation Director K. Luke Reiner.
EVs account for 0.1% of vehicle registrations in Wyoming and it would be “irresponsible and illogical” for rural sates to spend now on a four port requirement, Reiner wrote in an August letter to the U.S. Transportation Department.
“It would take more than two decades before a significant enough increase in statewide EV adoption would result in long queues of EVs waiting for charging at four-port stations,” he wrote.
Wyoming’s plan is still pending, while Montana’s plan was among the 35 approved.
The Federal Highway Administration will review those concerns and determine the final guidelines now that the public comment period has closed. Federal officials are also considering a waiver of the “Buy America” provision of the infrastructure deal.
Officials in Nevada, for example, have expressed concern that they would not be able to acquire charging stations that meet the American-made provisions and thus would be unable to start building out their piece of the network.
Experts who have followed the evolution of electric vehicle adoption in the U.S. say having charging stations everywhere is important.
“It’s like the U.S. Postal Service. You need to be able to send mail everywhere, including places that are rural,” said Jeremy Michalek, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and director of the university’s Vehicle Electrification Group.
“Even if that charger that’s in that rural area isn’t used as much every day, we still need the infrastructure to supply them.. We have gas stations that are used less in rural areas than they would be in a big city, but we need them for the demand.”
Electric vehicle owners hailed the news and said they currently must take extra steps and precautions if they want to take their EVs on a long trip.
Bob Palrud of Spokane, Washington, says the small number of chargers in some rural areas of the West means he must carefully plot his travel routes to avoid running out of power. Palrud journeys three times yearly with his wife, Judy, to their cabin in Sheridan, Wyoming, and twice they’ve gotten so low on electricity coming through southeastern Montana that his vehicle automatically shut down some functions to conserve power.
“The thing people worry most about is range,” said Palrud, a semi-retired house painter who was at a charging center just off Interstate-90 in Montana on Wednesday on his way back to Spokane. “I sit there and do mental calculations on what kind of range I’m going to get.”
When he travels to see family in Minnesota, Palrud said he goes hundreds of miles out of his way to avoid northern Montana, where there is no major interstate and charging options are few.
“It would be better to have more but it’s not a deal killer,” he said. “I could chop a couple hundred miles off and that would be great.”

TV presenter Sarah Beeny has shaved her head after most of her hair fell out as she undergoes chemotherapy for breast cancer.
The property expert, 50, announced last month she is fighting through a course of chemotherapy, and will also start radiotherapy in the new year.
Sarah's four sons cut a lot of her hair off before it fell out, but now Sarah has shaved the remainder off after it fell out in clumps.
Taking to Instagram today, Sarah shared a picture of her hand holding a clump of hair, with the caption saying: "Sort of much harder that I expected it to be when it happened - in 24 hrs most hair fell out and I’ve shaved the rest off - onward and upward! X"
Her friends and followers rallied around the star of Help! My House Is Falling Down, with one person writing: "Sending all my love and light. You can fight this Sarah, if anyone can, you can."
Another penned: "I found this to be the toughest step in the whole process. Even worse than the mastectomy. Sending you huge hugs. "
In another Instagram post from today, Sarah shared a photo of herself wearing a blonde wig, as she smiled with her adorable dog in a field of wild flowers.
She wrote: "A handful of wild flower seeds and a bit of patience!!!! (One of us might be wearing a very good wig….!!) xx"
The star of Sarah Beeny's New Life In The Country previously admitted she had "a little bit of a breakdown" after receiving the news in a hospital consultation room and has vowed not to lie to her kids about her diagnosis.
Speaking of her diagnosis and support team, Sarah told the Telegraph : "I'm lucky because I live in a family where we all talk."
She told how her son had asked if she was ok before she told him of her cancer and had a chat with them all.
Sarah continued: "They just said, ‘You will be honest?’ and I said, ‘I promise you that I’m going to be around for a jolly long time yet. It’s going to be a bit difficult. But I promise I won’t lie.’ And I think they were OK once I said that."
The presenter, who has been married to artist Graham Swift since 2003, went on to add that she plans to draw on her "inner strength" throughout her treatment process.
Sarah lost her mother to cancer when she was 10 years old. She had fought breast cancer before also being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Despite her diagnosis, Sarah is adamant she will continue working and has her sights focused on a new Channel 4 series.
She also has a book which is set for release later in the year.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A federal judge is considering a motion from the state to dismiss challenges to New Hampshire's new anti-discrimination laws filed by teachers and administrators who say they are confused about what they can legally teach.
Judge Paul Barbadoro said Wednesday he'd make a decision within 60 to 90 days.
Two lawsuits have been consolidated. The National Education Association-New Hampshire, which represents the majority of all public school employees in the state, and two diversity, equity and inclusion school administrators, sued New Hampshire Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut, Commission on Human Rights Chair leaders and Labor Commissioner Kenneth Merrifield.
A similar lawsuit also was filed by the AFT-New Hampshire union, three high school teachers; and two parents.
The “Prohibition on Teaching Discrimination” provision prohibits teaching children that they are inferior, racist, sexist or oppressive by virtue of their race, gender or other characteristics. The “Right to Freedom from Discrimination in Public Workplaces and Education” prohibits training sessions or programs teaching that one identified group possesses “natural biological, or innate characteristics as opposed to apparent or accidental characteristics” that make them inferior, racist, sexist or oppressive.
The laws allow disciplinary action to be taken against teachers who violate them.
An earlier version of the legislation echoed a since-rescinded Trump administration order that sought to ban discussion of “divisive concepts” in schools.

Harris (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, the Steelers held a light practice Wednesday with no pads, so we should get a better read on Harris' Week 2 status after Thursday's session. For his part, the running back is downplaying the foot injury he suffered this past Sunday against the Bengals, noting after practice that "it's good." That said, coach Mike Tomlin indicated that he wants to see more from his starting running back as the week progresses before his status for this weekend's game against the Patriots is determined. Next up for added carries versus New England if Harris is out or limited is Jaylen Warren.

William and Harry joined Kate and Meghan for dinner with other royals after receiving the Queen's coffin at Buckingham Palace - as brothers continue to set aside strained relationship and support their father

- The Princess of Wales and Duchess of Sussex were also present at the dinner
- Came after Sussexes pictured standing behind solemn Charles as coffin arrived
- 'Fab four' also put on united front at Windsor following the Queen's death

Princes William and Harry joined other royals for dinner at Buckingham Palace after receiving their mother's coffin last night - as the brothers continue to support their father in the wake of the Queen's death.
Kate and Meghan were also present for the dinner as the Queen spent a final night in the palace's Bow Room before being moved to the Palace of Westminster this afternoon to lie in state for four days.
It is the latest sign that the brothers have put aside their strained relationship to present a united front as the Royal Family mourns the passing of Her Majesty, Page Six reports.
As the royals waited inside the gates, tens of thousands of people lined the streets of central London to cheer and pay their final respects as the new state hearse made its approach to the palace.
People also cheered 'hip hip hooray' after the coffin drove under the arch, with many putting down their umbrellas as a sign of respect. Others were seen wiping tears from their eyes as phone camera lights lit up the crowds lining the streets in central London.
It comes as the brothers stood together with their wives Kate and Meghan today as they continued to put aside their bitter feud to honour the Queen as she was transported to Westminster today.

In scenes resembling the funeral of their mother Princess Diana 25 years ago, the William and Harry walked side-by-side for the poignant 38-minute procession from Buckingham Palace.
Their spouses travelled in separate cars, with Meghan accompanied by the Countess of Wessex and Kate joined by Camilla, the Queen Consort.
Four days ago, William and Harry first put aside their differences this week for an unexpected united front with their respective wives during a walkabout outside Windsor Castle - as it appears their mother's death may have cleared a path towards repairing their strained relationship.
And on Monday, Harry paid an emotional tribute to the Queen as he thanked her for her 'sound advice' and 'infectious smile'. He also described her as a 'guiding compass' through her commitment to service and duty.
Their appearance together at Windsor was the first time the two couples had all appeared in public together since Commonwealth Day on March 9, 2020, just weeks before the Covid lockdown.
The brothers have temporarily put aside the differences sparked by the fallout from Harry and Meghan's departure to the US and stepping down from royal duties.

During a subsequent service following her arrival, the 'Fab Four' stood in formation facing the coffin.
The Sussexes stood at the back of the group of royals, with Harry directly behind William and Meghan behind Kate.
The touching moment was the first time the couples have been seen together since their surprise walkabout together at Windsor Castle on Saturday, and a rare show of togetherness.
When the Queen's coffin arrived, Charles, William and Anne saluted.
Harry and Prince Andrew - barred from wearing military uniform - bowed their head instead.
The Archbishop of Canterbury then read the opening prayer, which the King led the royals in reciting.
The family stood silently for the short service that the late monarch had put together with the Church of England before she died aged 96.
After the congregation was dismissed, cries of 'God save the King' could be heard as the King and the Queen Consort left Westminster Hall as Big Ben rang out at 3.30pm.
Royal couples left the building side by side, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex holding hands and the Princess of Wales rubbing her husband's arm reassuringly.
From 5pm, mourners began to file pass the coffin to and pay their final respects to the Queen.
The queue is already approaching three miles in lengths, snaking from Victoria Tower Gardens close to Tower Bridge.

Introducing a transformative approach to replace gas-powered commercial landscape equipment with an entirely new battery system and technology.
CHARLOTTE, N.C, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kress is leading the transition from gas-powered commercial lawn equipment for professional operations with the introduction of the industry's first true game-changing innovation in battery-powered equipment. Until today, despite a growing environmental awareness, commercial landscape professionals and facilities managers in the industrial channel have been forced to accept high-emission, gas-powered equipment as the only economical option that provides them with the performance and runtime required to complete a full day's work. Battery-powered equipment simply has not been a viable alternative due to the expense of multiple battery packs, the hassle of overnight charging and the high cost to replace dead battery packs after only a few months of daily re-charging.
Kress has changed all of that: now commercial landscapers and facilities managers can even save money and time by switching from gas to battery power. Based on the current price of gas, a typical landscaping business can recoup the entire purchase price of their Kress battery-powered equipment in less than one season. Kress offers lawncare professionals the opportunity not only to save the planet, but to save money as well.
"Our new Kress battery technology will ignite a dramatic shift in the professional outdoor power equipment industry that has been dominated by loud, dirty gas-powered tools and equipment for the past 50 years," says Don Gao, Chairman and CEO of Positec Group, the parent company of Kress. "The revolutionary, new Kress battery charges to 80 percent capacity in only five minutes, provides 10 times more re-charges than current lithium-ion batteries and produces the power and performance that meets or exceeds that of comparable combustion gas-engines. In the time it takes for a short water break, lawncare professionals now can rest assured that their fuel supply – the new powerful, proprietary Kress batteries – will be re-charged and ready to go. No wasted down time, more productivity and more profits for our customers – that's what Kress is all about."
As a part of the well-established Positec family of leading brands, Kress has built a reputation for advanced German engineering and has been recognized for designing and manufacturing electric motors for over 50 years. Today, the Kress brand unveils its new line of professional outdoor power equipment which is powered by its exclusive cordless battery technology — specifically designed for commercial lawn-care professionals — that will forever eliminate the need for petrol equipment.
The Kress battery technology explained
The new commercial Kress 8-minute Cybersystem™ battery platform was engineered and designed specifically to meet the demanding needs of commercial landscapers. The system features both 4Ah and 11Ah battery packs with the ability to recharge each 60v battery pack to 100% charge in only 8 minutes or 80% charge in 5 minutes, the fastest re-charge of any commercial battery system available. Due to its proprietary battery cell technology, each 60v Cyberpack battery is capable to produce up to twice the power output of standard lithium-ion batteries. The added power output allows Kress outdoor power equipment to meet or exceed the same performance as comparable commercial gas-powered machines but with less noise and zero harmful emissions. In addition, the Kress Cyberpack battery can be re-charged thousands of times - up to 10 times more than standard lithium-ion batteries. The extended battery life supports multiple re-charges per day and greatly reduces the cost of replacement battery packs over the life of the equipment. The Kress 8-minute™ Cybersystem is the first and only cordless battery power supply that will allow commercial landscapers to finally replace their expensive gas-powered equipment without sacrificing performance, power or runtime.
The new Kress 8-minute Cybersystem battery platform will power a full line of Kress professional outdoor equipment that includes commercial-grade backpack and handheld blowers, grass trimmers, edgers, chainsaws and hedge trimmers, as well as heavy-duty walk-behind commercial mowers. Each Kress commercial-grade tool is designed and engineered for heavy-duty use with a high-efficiency brushless motor and state-of-the-art features and performance. There are no more excuses to keep operating noisy, high-cost gas equipment or wasting time with cordless battery tools that won't get the job done.
Launch information and Dealer inquires
Kress will introduce the brand's complete line of commercial-grade equipment and revolutionary battery technology in North America in Q4 2022 in conjunction with the International Equip Exposition (formerly GIE). Kress is positioned to become a powerhouse in producing professional-grade, cordless outdoor power equipment as it partners with leading equipment dealers in the United States and Canada.
North American-based dealers interested in learning more about the Kress brand launch should visit Kress.com.

About Kress
In 1966, Kress launched a quiet revolution. While others were focused on loud, smelly combustion engines, Kress perfected clean, quiet, tough-as-nails electric tools with zero emissions. Positec Group has acquired the Kress brand in North America and positioned Kress to become a powerhouse in producing professional-grade cordless equipment valued by professional landscapers and facilities managers in the industrial channel. Many benefits of Kress's batteries have never before been available in OPE in North America. Kress will sell its products at select dealer locations in the United States and Canada beginning January 2023. Join the quiet revolution.

Stocks on Wall Street shook off an afternoon slide and finished modestly higher Wednesday, clawing back some of their losses a day after the market's worst skid in two years.
The wobbly trading came as investors weighed another snapshot of inflation. Markets have been on edge about the possibility of a recession after a string of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve this year as the central bank fights inflation.
The S&P 500 rose 0.3% after wavering between small gains and losses much of the afternoon. The benchmark index was coming off its biggest drop since June 2020, which ended a four-day winning streak.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 0.1% higher, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.7%. Smaller company stocks also rose, pushing the Russell 2000 to a 0.4% gain.
Bond yields remained relatively stable after leaping higher on Tuesday. The yield on the two-year Treasury rose to 3.79% from 3.75% late Tuesday, when it soared on expectations for more aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which helps dictate where mortgages and rates for other loans are heading, held steady at 3.41%.
A report on inflation at the wholesale level showed prices are still rising rapidly, with pressures building underneath the surface, even if overall inflation slowed. It echoed a report on inflation at the consumer level Tuesday, which raised expectations for interest-rate hikes and triggered a rout for markets.
Still, the overall decline in inflation at the wholesale level helped assuage fears in the market that inflation at all levels is intensifying, said Quincy Krosby, chief equity strategist for LPL Financial.
"The market would have probably had another round of selling had the headline number been higher," Krosby said. "The fact that it dipped a bit was helpful for today's market."
Traders now see a one-in-four chance the Fed may hike its benchmark rate by a full percentage point next week, quadruple the usual move, according to CME Group. A day earlier, it was closer to a one-in-three chance. The site puts the probability of a three-quarter percentage point increase now at 76%, up from 69% on Tuesday.
The central bank has already raised its benchmark interest rate four times this year, with the last two increases by three-quarters of a percentage point.
The Fed is taking the aggressive action on interest rates to try and cool the hottest inflation in four decades. Tuesday's report on high prices jolted the market with signs that inflation is entering a more stubborn phase that could require an already resolute Fed to become more aggressive.
Wall Street is especially worried that the rate hikes could go too far in slowing the economy and send it into a recession. The Fed is trying to avoid that outcome, but the latest inflation reports reveal that is becoming a more difficult task.
All told, the S&P 500 rose 13.32 points to 3,946.01, while the Dow added 30.12 points to 31,135.09. The Nasdaq gained 86.10 points to 11,719.68, and the Russell 2000 picked up 6.89 points to close at 1,838.46.
Energy stocks had some of the biggest gains as U.S. crude oil prices rose 1.3%. Exxon Mobil rose 2.5%.
"Today you have some investors coming off the sidelines, coming back into the market because there's this feeling that the sell-off was a big one, there was a recalibration there, there was a little bit of panic selling there," said Sylvia Jablonski, chief investment officer at Defiance ETFs.
The broader U.S. economy has been slowing, but consumers have remained resilient and the job market remains strong. Wall Street will get another update on inflation's latest impact on spending when the government releases its retail sales report for August on Thursday.
The market is also monitoring U.S.-China tensions and war in Ukraine, while business and government officials are bracing for the possibility of a nationwide rail strike at the end of this week that could paralyze an already discombobulated supply chain.
The railroads have already started to curtail shipments of hazardous materials and have announced plans to stop hauling refrigerated products ahead of Friday's strike deadline. Businesses that rely on Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX, Kansas City Southern and other railroads to deliver their raw materials and finished products are planning for the worst.
Union Pacific fell 3.7% and Norfolk Southern fell 2.2%.
Biden administration officials are scrambling to develop a plan to keep goods moving if the railroads shut down. The White House is also pressuring the two sides to settle their differences, and a growing number of business groups are lobbying Congress to be prepared to intervene and block a strike if they can't reach an agreement.

MIAMI, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Laureate Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LAUR) (the "Company") today announced that its board of directors approved, pursuant to the previously announced adoption of a plan of partial liquidation (the "Plan") related to the distribution of net proceeds from the Company's sale of Walden e-Learning LLC (the "Sale"), the payment of a special cash distribution (the "Distribution") equal to $0.83 per each share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.004 per share, to each holder of record on September 28, 2022. The Distribution is scheduled to be paid on October 12, 2022. Based on the current number of shares outstanding, the aggregate amount of the Distribution is expected to be approximately $137 million.
The proceeds being distributed are attributable to the release of $71.7 million of escrowed funds from the Sale plus remaining net proceeds that had yet to be distributed. This is anticipated to be the final distribution pursuant to the Plan.
Eilif Serck-Hanssen, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In addition to delivering on our growth and quality commitments, we continue to prioritize return of capital for our shareholders. We believe that our leading brands, cash accretive business model and strong balance sheet position us well for continued value creation for all our stakeholders, including our shareholders."
Summary of Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Receipt of the Distribution
The Distribution will be taxable to holders of Company common stock. In general, except as described in the immediately succeeding paragraph, the Company will treat the Distribution as a partial liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the Company obtained a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that, in summary, provides that the Distribution will be treated as a distribution in partial liquidation. As a result, each holder of Company common stock that is not a corporation (for this purpose any stock held by a partnership, estate or trust will be treated as if it were actually held proportionately by its partners or beneficiaries) (a non-corporate shareholder) will be treated as having a portion of their Company common shares redeemed and will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash received by them in the Distribution and their adjusted tax basis in the Company common stock deemed to have been exchanged therefor. Each corporate shareholder generally will be required to treat the Distribution as a dividend for federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for federal income tax purposes).
Notwithstanding the above, the Company is not yet able to finally determine the amount of net proceeds from the Sale as relevant for purposes of the private letter ruling described above. If the amount of the Distribution exceeds the net proceeds from the Sale, a portion of the Distribution could be treated as a distribution with respect to, rather than in exchange for, stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, such portion of the Distribution would be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). To the extent that amounts received pursuant to the Distribution that are treated as distributions exceed the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will first be treated as a non-taxable return of capital, causing a reduction in the tax basis of a holder's shares, and any amounts in excess of a holder's tax basis will result in capital gain.
Because a currently undetermined portion of the Distribution could be treated as a distribution with respect to, rather than in exchange for, stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is possible that a withholding agent may withhold tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the entire amount of the Distribution payable to a holder of Company common stock that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; any such holder, a "Non-U.S. Holder"). Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular facts and circumstances, the procedures for claiming treaty benefits or otherwise establishing an exemption from U.S. withholding taxes with respect to the Distribution, and any action that may be taken to mitigate any potential adverse tax consequences.
All holders of Company common stock should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the Distribution, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other tax laws. For further details regarding material U.S. tax consequences of the Distribution, see the Company's Form 8-K filed September 14, 2022.

Gardaí believe Tony Dempsey (28), whose remains lay in a Dublin city flat for over a week before the alarm was raised, was killed in a drug-related incident by somebody he knew.
As The Irish Times reports, the dead man suffered serious head injuries in a violent assault at flat in Kevin Barry House, Coleraine St, Dublin 7, where his body lay for over a week despite the property being used by drug users.
Detectives believe Mr Dempsey, who was originally from Inchicore, Dublin 7, was among a group of drug users who were “coming and going” from the flat after the vulnerable tenant living there had lost control of the property.
The alarm was raised on Monday evening and when gardaí and paramedics went to the address they discovered Mr Dempsey’s body on the floor in a bedroom.
The remains, covered in garments or blankets, had begun to decompose to the extent it delayed the official identification of the dead man.
The vulnerable tenant, who was previously homeless, had been placed in the property over 18 months ago by the Peter McVerry Trust as part of a housing project run in conjunction with Dublin City Council.
In recent months the tenant had lost control of the flat as drug users and homeless people called to it and gained entry. There is no suggestion that the tenant is suspected in any way of being involved in the murder.
There were reports of large numbers of callers, often in the early hours, and gardaí believe Mr Dempsey was among them and was fatally assaulted by others he was in the property with around the start of last week.

HAIFA, Israel (AP) — Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe set each other up and Neymar added a late goal, adding gloss to an otherwise disappointing performance as Paris Saint-Germain won 3-1 at Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League on Wednesday.
After Maccabi midfielder Tjaronn Chery volleyed in a cross in the 24th minute, Messi gave a sloppy PSG side a much-needed equalizer from Mbappe’s cross from the right in the 37th.
“We fell asleep a bit and conceded the first goal. Then we were able to make the difference after that,” Mbappe said. “I hope all three of us continue to score because it means we’ll win games.”
Messi’s exquisitely weighted pass then sent Mbappe running down the left in the 69th, and he clipped the ball into the bottom right corner for his third goal in two group games.
Neymar latched onto Marco Verratti’s lofted pass from midfield in the 88th, controlled the ball on his right thigh and drilled it in to end a barren run in the Champions League dating back to December 2020.
PSG tops Group H with six points along with Benfica, which won 2-1 at Juventus in the other game.
But this was a disjointed PSG performance at times against a Maccabi side inspired by the silky Chery.
“We need to work hard and we need to improve quickly in the way we play,” Mbappe told broadcaster Canal Plus.
Wearing the No. 10 jersey — but far less illustrious than PSG’s No. 10, Neymar — Chery went close to making it 2-0 on the stroke of halftime.
With some brilliant improvisation that Neymar would have been proud of, Chery juggled the ball three times and then hit a fizzing 25-meter shot that PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma palmed away low down.
Mbappe missed a chance early on when he tried and failed to round Maccabi’s goalkeeper Joshua Cohen. Donnarumma then made a low save before the home side struck first.
When PSG carelessly lost the ball in midfield yet again — 39 times in the first 30 minutes — Maccabi moved it quickly to the right. Dolev Haziza whipped in a cross that Chery expertly volleyed in with his left foot from close range past a stranded Donnarumma.
As in previous seasons, PSG’S team spirit was lacking and none of the stars responded until Mbappe burst down the left and clipped a deflected pass inside for Messi to guide the ball home in the 37th.
But Maccabi cut through PSG’s weak midfield soon after the break and had two half-chances. Neymar seemed to lose patience with his teammates, chatting at length with Verratti and Marquinhos, but PSG’s attack made the difference again.
Mbappe netted with two sharp volleys in PSG’s 2-1 win against Juventus last week, while Maccabi opened the group stage with a 2-0 defeat at Benfica.

The rout of Russian forces in the Kharkiv region has led to some unusually harsh and public debate in Moscow. Commentators and politicians have been discussing what went wrong – frequently blaming the Ministry of Defense.
The public airing of complaints over what Russia describes as a "special military operation" in Ukraine is in sharp contrast to the handling of previous setbacks, such as the loss of Snake Island, where the Russian withdrawal was described as a goodwill gesture.
Commentators have dismissed the defense ministry’s weekend explanation that forces were being "redirected" away from Kharkiv to Donbas.
A member of Russia’s Council for Interethnic Relations, Bogdan Bezpalko, suggested that military officials who had ignored intelligence about an imminent Ukrainian attack should be held to account.
“On the front for two months, Ukrainian Armed Forces and military equipment have been massing in that area, all Telegram channels have been writing about it," he said on state television.
“Where was our damned reconnaissance? All of their heads should be lying on Putin’s desk."
Bezpalko called for “limited mobilization” in Russia. “Of course, this is a tactical defeat,” he said Monday.
Discussion of a general mobilization — and calling the "special military" operation a war — is also entering the Russian parliament.
“How is a special military operation different from a war? You can stop the military operation at any time. You cannot stop the war. It ends either in victory or defeat. I'm leading you to the idea that there is a war going on," said Gennady Zyuganov, the leader of the Russian Communist party, during a session Tuesday.
Some context: On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there was "no discussion of this for now” on a general mobilization. When asked about criticism about the operation in Ukraine, he said it illustrated “pluralism,” adding that Russians support President Vladimir Putin and his decisions but warned there was a limit to critical opinions.
As for other, critical points of view, as long as they remain within the framework of the law, this is pluralism. But there is a fine line, and one must be very careful here,” Peskov said.
