NEW YORK, Sept 15 —Wall Street’s main indexes were set for a mixed open today as a slew of economic data pointed to resilience in the US economy, likely keeping the Federal Reserve on track for aggressive interest rate hikes to tame inflation.
US retail sales unexpectedly rose 0.3 per cent in August as lower gasoline prices supported spending, data showed, in a sign that the economy could tolerate higher interest rates as the Fed tightens monetary policy.
A separate report from the Labour Department showed initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 213,000 for the week ended Sept. 10, signaling labor market resilience.
“The economic conditions are quite good in the US and it’s pretty compatible with the path of the 75-basis-point hike for the next meeting,” said Mabrouk Chetouane, head of global market strategy at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions.
“If investors are still underestimating the Fed’s determination to fight against inflation, one of the key concerns is that we’ll see volatility increase in the coming weeks.”
The CBOE Volatility index, also know as Wall Street’s fear gauge, edged up to 26.19 points, above its long-term average of 20.
The main stock indexes closed slightly higher on Wednesday after wavering throughout the session as an on-target inflation print provided relief after Tuesday’s hotter-than-expected consumer prices data sparked the biggest percentage decline on Wall Street since June 2020.
Investors fear steep rate hikes by the Fed will drive the economy into a recession, with many market observers concerned over the lagging effects of the central bank’s tightening phase.
Money markets are pricing in a 74 per cent chance of a 75-basis-point hike, while placing 27 per cent odds of a 100-bps hike next week.
The yield on two-year Treasury notes, a bellwether for interest rate expectations, touched new 14 year highs at 3.85 per cent.
Shares of rate-sensitive growth and technology stocks slipped alongside a rise in bond yields.
Apple Inc, Meta Platforms and Tesla Inc were down 0.2 per cent in premarket trading. Netflix Inc , however, gained 2.7 per cent as Evercore ISI upgraded the stock to “outperform”.
At 08:53 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 55 points, or 0.18 per cent, S&P 500 e-minis were down 1.75 points, or 0.1 per cent, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 21.25 points, or 0.17 per cent.
Union Pacific and CSX Corp jumped nearly 3 per cent each after US railroad operators and unions secured a tentative deal to avert a rail shutdown that could have hit food and fuel supplies across the United States.
Adobe Inc slumped 10.2 per cent after the photoshop maker said it would buy Figma in a cash-and-stock deal that valued the online design startup at about $20 billion. — Reuters

Speaking on her catwalk debut she said: "Since coming out of the villa it’s been an absolute whirlwind but I am loving every single minute of it.
"It was really important with me to work closely with Oh Polly to bring my vision to life and the collection is everything and more than what I could have envisioned.

AP source: Meadows complies with Justice Dept. subpoena
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff under former President Donald Trump, has complied with a Justice Department subpoena and turned over records as part of a federal investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, a person familiar the matter said Thursday.
The records produced by Meadows are the same ones he earlier provided to a House committee conducting a similar investigation, according to the person, who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing Justice Department probe.
The subpoena to Meadows, first reported by CNN, makes clear that Justice Department officials are seeking information from the most senior of Trump’s White House advisers as they examine wide-ranging efforts to overturn the results of the election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
The department, whose work at times has mirrored or overlapped with that of the committee, this month served a broad wave of grand jury subpoenas and search warrants to Trump allies.
Meadows has been a pivotal figure in the House investigation, his name invoked repeatedly in testimony by other Trump advisers, including by his own top aide. He had provided the committee with thousands of text messages, including communications with outside Trump allies and advisers.
In a filing in April in a federal lawsuit over his House subpoena, a lawyer for Meadows accused the committee of trying to vilify him publicly, noting that all of the texts it had been provided had been disclosed to the news media. The committee declined at the time to respond to the accusation.
Meadows did not provide to the committee records he believed were subject to claims of executive privilege, and those documents were also not produced to the Justice Department.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Naomi Cahn, University of Virginia
(THE CONVERSATION) Some proponents of abortion bans and restrictions say they are concerned about “supporting not just life,” but what they call “quality of life worth living,” saying they want to promote laws and policies that help families. Three authors from Brigham Young University, for instance, have noted that the overturning of Roe v. Wade provides a “genuine opportunity for pro-lifers to work with people of diverse political persuasions to seek a more just and compassionate world. This world would be not only pro-life, but also pro-child, pro-parent and pro-family.”
U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is one of three Republicans in the Senate who have sponsored a bill called the Family Security Act, billed as a “pro-family, pro-life and pro-marriage plan” that would provide a monthly cash benefit starting at pregnancy and continuing through the child turning 17.
But so far, these are minority voices in the anti-abortion movement.
As a law professor who studies reproductive care, policies that affect families and political partisanship, I have been following the relationship between abortion restrictions and family well-being for decades. It turns out that states taking the strictest stands against abortion tend to have among the worst statistics on child and family well-being in the nation.
Unintended pregnancy and infant mortality
Take Mississippi, the state that enacted the abortion restriction law that was at the center of the Supreme Court’s June 2022 opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which struck down federal protection for the right to get an abortion.
In 2019, Mississippi had the highest rate of unintended pregnancy, defined as the percentage of women who recently gave birth but whose pregnancies were either unwanted or happened at an unwanted time. In Mississippi, 47% of women who recently had a child did not want to become pregnant or wanted to become pregnant later in life.
By contrast, Vermont had the nation’s lowest rate of unintended pregnancy in 2019, with just 20% of women who recently had a child saying they would have preferred not to get pregnant or wanted to do so at some point in the future. That state already protects abortion rights. If Vermont’s upcoming referendum on abortion passes, the state’s constitution will protect “an individual’s right to personal reproductive autonomy.”
Mississippi also has the highest infant mortality rate in the country. Five of the other nine states with the highest infant mortality also have abortion bans. At the other end of the spectrum, of the 10 states with the lowest infant mortality rates, only one – Iowa – has a law restricting abortions, although a court has prevented its enforcement.
Childhood poverty and teen birth rates
Mississippi has the highest rate of child poverty in the country. Six of the other 10 states with the country’s highest child poverty levels also have abortion bans in effect: Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
Mississippi also had the highest teen birth rate in the country, and eight of the other nine states with the highest teen birth rates also ban abortions or have a ban blocked.
In all 10 states with the lowest teen birth rates, abortion is legal and likely to be protected for the foreseeable future.
Supporting families
The well-being of children also depends on the availability of support for their parents.
For instance, 11 states plus the District of Columbia legally require employers to offer workers paid time off after the birth or adoption of a child. None of those jurisdictions bans abortions.
Another federal effort to support families came in the Affordable Care Act, enacted in 2010, with sweeping changes to the nation’s health insurance marketplace. One provision allowed states to expand Medicaid eligibility to more adults, with financial support from the federal government. If Medicaid were expanded, reproductive-aged women would be among the groups to experience the largest coverage gains.
As of August 2022, 12 states had not adopted the expansion: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Eight of those states have either a full ban on abortion or a ban after six weeks – before many people realize they are pregnant.
Two of those states, South Carolina and Wyoming, have abortion laws that are tied up in the courts, and Florida bans abortions after 15 weeks.
In a June 2022 Brookings Institution study of the states that are considered most child-friendly – measured by state expenditures per child and children’s overall well-being – the authors found that among the top 10, only Wyoming was even trying to ban abortion. For the 10 states Brookings rated least child-friendly, nine either had a trigger ban or other abortion restriction.
The overall pattern is clear: A strong social safety net and other anti-poverty programs are more likely to be available in states that also support abortion access, while actual measures of child and family well-being are often worse in states that restrict abortions.

WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — A representative for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars brand was expected to return to the witness stand Thursday for questions about how Jones pushed lies that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax as his companies grew more successful.
Brittany Paz, a Connecticut lawyer hired by Jones to testify about his companies' workings, acknowledged Wednesday that Jones' show, website and social media platforms spread falsehoods about the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, that killed 20 first graders and six educators.
Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, have been found liable for damages to relatives of eight victims of the massacre, as well as to an FBI agent who responded to the scene. A six-member jury in Waterbury will determine how much Jones should pay the plaintiffs.
At a similar trial in Texas last month, a jury determined Jones and Free Speech Systems should pay nearly $50 million to the parents of one of the Sandy Hook children who died.
Website traffic data reports run by Infowars employees and presented at the trial Wednesday showed Jones' audience ballooned in the years after the shooting. By 2016, his show aired on 150 affiliate radio stations, and the Infowars website got 40 million page views a month.
Paz testified Wednesday that she believes Jones and his companies have made hundreds of millions of dollars in the decade since the massacre and Jones is now worth millions of dollars. But she could not answer several questions about Jones' businesses by the families' lawyer, Christopher Mattei, saying she had not received some documents from the companies and could not recall other information.
The families' lawsuit claims that Jones trafficked in lies to increase his audience and sales of the nutritional supplements, clothing and other merchandise he sells on the Infowars website and hawks on his web show. He and guests on his show said the shooting was staged with crisis actors as part of gun control efforts.
Jones, however, now says he believes the shooting happened, but he insists his comments were protected by free speech rights, which he cannot argue at trial because he has already been found liable for damages.
“We knew they were using Sandy Hook to get the Second, but now they’re using it to kill the First,” he said on his Infowars web show Wednesday.
Judges in the Connecticut and Texas cases found Jones liable without trials, as penalties for what they called his repeated failures to turn over documents to the families' lawyers.
The families say the emotional and psychological harm was profound and persistent. Relatives say they were subjected to social media harassment, death threats, strangers videotaping them and their children, and the surreal pain of being told that they were faking their loss.
Jones' lawyer, Norman Pattis, said in his opening statement Tuesday that any damages should be minimal and claimed the families were exaggerating the harm they say they have suffered.
“At what point do we regard him as a crank on the village green, a person we can walk away from if we choose?” Pattis asked.

INTERVIEW: Transform education, and avoid a global learning crisis
One of the centrepieces of the opening week of the new General Assembly session is an event aimed at focusing fresh attention on the global crisis surrounding learning, and proposing solutions to make education fit for the Twenty-First Century. Ahead of the event, UN News spoke to Leonardo Garnier, the Special Advisor charged with making the Transforming Education Summit a success.
Many education experts worry that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused untold damage to the education prospects of children around the world, exacerbating problems of falling standards that already existed, with millions of children receiving minimal, inadequate education, or no education at all.
In the days before the Transforming Education Summit, UN News met Leonardo Garnier, an academic and former education minister in Costa Rica, who was appointed by the UN Secretary-General as Special Advisor for the Summit.
He explained why going back to the old ways of teaching is not an option, and how the UN can help to bring fresh ideas to classrooms around the world and raise educational standards for children everywhere.
UN News The UN is tackling so many big geopolitical issues right now, such as the climate crisis, the pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. Why has education been chosen as key theme this year?
Leonardo Garnier, Special Advisor to the Transforming Education Summit, by Marco BassanoLeonardo Garnier It’s precisely the right time to do it, because when there’s an economic slowdown, what usually happens is that education goes under the table: it ceases to be a priority. Governments need money, and they stop spending on education.
The problem here is that the damage this causes is only apparent after several years. If you take the Eighties education crisis, it wasn’t until the Nineties and 2000s that you started to see how countries had lost out because of a lack of educational investment.
Millions of children were left out of school because of the pandemic. But the pandemic also brought out what had been happening for years, because many of those who were in school were not really learning properly.
UN News Talk us through the 1980s educational crisis. What happened, and what were the consequences?
Leonardo Garnier What you saw in many parts of the world was stagflation, and a huge reduction in education budgets. Enrolment rates fell, teacher numbers fell, and many children missed out on education, particularly high school education.
And what that meant is that, in many countries, only around half the labour force finished primary school. When you look at increasing poverty, and increasing inequality in many countries, it is very difficult not to relate that to the reduced educational opportunities of the Eighties and Nineties.
© UNICEF/Veronica HouserA family sit inside their home, in an informal settlement for internally displaced people in Kabul, Afghanistan.UN News Do you think that what we're seeing now is going to potentially lead to a repeat of that situation?
Leonardo Garnier That could happen. From 2000 to 2018 we saw increases in school enrolment rates in most countries, and in educational investment. From then on, educational budgets started to be reduced, and then the pandemic hit.
And then what you have is really two years in which education stopped in many countries, alongside an economic crisis. So yes, there is a risk that, instead of recovering from the pandemic, we could be in an even worse position than we were in 2019.
What the Secretary General is saying is that we have to protect education from this big hit, and recover what we lost in this pandemic. But we actually have to go further.
With SDG 4 [the Sustainable Development Goal to improve access to quality education for all], the UN and global community have set themselves very ambitious targets.
You might think that everybody should have the right to education but, if we keep doing things as they were being done prior to the pandemic, we won’t get there.
At the Transforming Education Summit, we want to send the message that, if we really want every young person in this planet to have the right to a quality education, we have to do things differently.
We have to transform schools, the way teachers teach, the way we use digital resources, and the way we finance education.
©UNICEF/ Frank DejonghA girl studies online at home in Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire.UN News What is your vision for an education system that is fit for the Twenty-First Century?
Leonardo Garnier It has to do with the content, with what we teach and the relevance of education.
On one side, we need the fundamental building blocks of education – literacy, numeracy, scientific thinking – but we also need what some people have called the Twenty-First Century skills. Social skills, problem solving skills.
Teachers need to impart knowledge by sparking curiosity, helping students to solve problems and guiding students through the learning process. But, to do that, teachers need better training, better working conditions, and better wages, because in many countries, the pay for teachers is very low.
They need to understand that their authority does not come from merely having more information than their students, but from their experience and capacity to lead the learning process.
In any labour activity, productivity results in part from the tools we use. When we talk about education, we've been using the same tools for around 400 years! With the digital revolution, teachers and learners could have access to much more creative tools for teaching and learning.
At the Summit, we’re saying that digital resources are what economists call a public good: they require a lot of investment to be produced, and they are not cheap, but once they are produced, everybody could use them.
We want digital learning resources to be transformed into public goods, so that every country can share their own resources with other countries. For example, teachers from Argentina could share content with teachers from Spain; Egypt has a lovely digital education project that could be shared with many other Arab countries.
The potential is there, but we need to bring everything together into a partnership for digital learning resources. This is something else that we are calling for at the Summit.
,The Transforming Education Summit
- The Transforming Education Summit, takes place on Friday 16, Saturday 17 and Monday 19 September.
- Friday 16 September is “Mobilization Day”, which will be youth-led and youth-organized, bringing young people’s concerns over their education to decision and policymakers, and will focus on mobilizing the global public, youth, teachers, civil society and others, to support the transformation of education across the world.
- Saturday 17 September is all about solutions, and is designed to be a platform for initiatives that will contribute to transforming education. The day is grouped around five themes (“Thematic Action Tracks”): inclusive, equitable, safe and healthy schools; learning and skills for life; work and sustainable development; teachers, teaching and the teaching profession; digital learning and transformation; and financing of education.
- Monday 19 September, is Leaders Day, capitalizing on the fact that so many Heads of State and Government will be descending on New York that week. Expect a host of National Statements of Commitment from these leaders.

Chief Justice John Roberts defends legitimacy of court
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday defended the authority of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, saying its role should not be called into question just because people disagree with its decisions.
When asked to reflect on the last year at the court in his first public appearance since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Roberts said he was concerned that lately some critics of the court’s controversial decisions have questioned the legitimacy of the court, which he said was a mistake. He did not mention any specific cases or critics by name.
“If the court doesn’t retain its legitimate function of interpreting the constitution, I’m not sure who would take up that mantle. You don’t want the political branches telling you what the law is, and you don’t want public opinion to be the guide about what the appropriate decision is,” Roberts said while being interviewed by two judges from the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at its conference in Colorado Springs.
Roberts described the last year as an unusual and difficult one, pointing to the public not be allowed inside the court, closed in 2020 because of the pandemic, as one hardship. He also said it was “gut wrenching” to drive into the Supreme Court that was surrounded by barricades every day.
The barriers were installed in May when protests erupted outside the court and outside the homes of some Supreme Court justices after there was an unprecedented leak of a draft opinion indicating the justices were planning to overturn Roe v. Wade, which provided women constitutional protections for abortion for nearly 50 years. The barriers are gone and the public will be allowed back inside when the court's new session begins in October but an investigation into the leak ordered by Roberts continues.
Speaking at the same conference Thursday, Justice Neil Gorsuch said it is “terribly important” to identify the leaker and said he is expecting a report on the progress of the investigation, “I hope soon.”
Gorsuch condemned the leak, as have other justices who have addressed it publicly.
“Improper efforts to influence judicial decision-making, from whatever side, from whomever, are a threat to the judicial decision-making process," Gorsuch said. Reporters from the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg attended the talk.
The leaked draft was largely incorporated into Justice Samuel Alito's final opinion in June that overturned Roe v. Wade in a case upholding Mississippi's law banning abortion after 15 weeks. The ruling paved the way for severe abortion restrictions or bans in nearly half of U.S. states.
In June's ruling, Roberts, appointed to the court in 2005 by former President George W. Bush, voted to uphold Mississippi's law but he did not join the conservative justices in also overturning Roe v. Wade, as well as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to end a pregnancy. He wrote that there was no need to overturn the broad precedents to uphold the state law, saying he would take “a more measured course.”
Roberts has spoken out repeatedly about the importance of the judiciary’s independence and to rebut perceptions of the court as a political institution not much different than Congress or the presidency.
Opinion polls since the leak and the release of the final abortion decision, though, have shown a sharp drop in approval of the court and confidence in the institution.
When asked what the public might not know about how the court work, Roberts emphasized the collegiality among the justices and the court's tradition of shaking hands before starting conferences or taking the bench. After the justices might disagree about a decision, everyone eats together in the court's dining room where they talk about everything but work, he said. He said it's not borne out of “fake affection” but a respect that comes from the push and pull of explaining ideas and listening to the responses to them.
“We have a common calling and we act like it,” he said.

PM Modi leaves for Uzbekistan to attend SCO Summit
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday left for Samarkand in Uzbekistan to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Heads of State Summit.
- Country:
- India
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday left for Samarkand in Uzbekistan to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Heads of State Summit. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that the summit will be an opportunity to discuss prospects for future cooperation.
"PM @narendramodi emplanes for Samarkand, Uzbekistan to attend the 22nd Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The Summit will be an opportunity to review the activities of SCO and discuss prospects for future cooperation," he said in a tweet. The Summit is set to take place in the historical city of Samarkand from September 15-16, the first such in-person Summit after the Covid pandemic hit the world.
The last SCO Heads of State Summit was held in June 2019 in Bishkek. India will assume the rotational annual presidency of the SCO at the end of the Samarkand Summit. PM Modi is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on the sidelines of the SCO summit. He is also expected to have some other bilateral meetings. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi are also expected to attend the summit. Uzbekistan is the current chair of SCO 2022.
The SCO currently comprises eight Member States (China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), four Observer States interested in acceding to full membership (Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, and Mongolia) and six "Dialogue Partners" (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Turkey). The Shanghai Five, formed in 1996, became the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in 2001 with the inclusion of Uzbekistan. With India and Pakistan entering the grouping in 2017 and the decision to admit Tehran as a full member in 2021, SCO became one of the largest multilateral organisations, accounting for nearly 30 per cent of the global GDP and 40 per cent of the world's population.

Chief Justice John Roberts defends legitimacy of court
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday defended the authority of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, saying its role should not be called into question just because people disagree with its decisions.
When asked to reflect on the last year at the court in his first public appearance since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Roberts said he was concerned that lately some critics of the court’s controversial decisions have questioned the legitimacy of the court, which he said was a mistake. He did not mention any specific cases or critics by name.
“If the court doesn’t retain its legitimate function of interpreting the constitution, I’m not sure who would take up that mantle. You don’t want the political branches telling you what the law is, and you don’t want public opinion to be the guide about what the appropriate decision is,” Roberts said while being interviewed by two judges from the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at its conference in Colorado Springs.
Roberts described the last year as an unusual and difficult one, pointing to the public not be allowed inside the court, closed in 2020 because of the pandemic, as one hardship. He also said it was “gut wrenching” to drive into the Supreme Court that was surrounded by barricades every day.
The barriers were installed in May when protests erupted outside the court and outside the homes of some Supreme Court justices after there was an unprecedented leak of a draft opinion indicating the justices were planning to overturn Roe v. Wade, which provided women constitutional protections for abortion for nearly 50 years. The barriers are gone and the public will be allowed back inside when the court's new session begins in October but an investigation into the leak ordered by Roberts continues.
Speaking at the same conference Thursday, Justice Neil Gorsuch said it is “terribly important” to identify the leaker and said he is expecting a report on the progress of the investigation, “I hope soon.”
Gorsuch condemned the leak, as have other justices who have addressed it publicly.
“Improper efforts to influence judicial decision-making, from whatever side, from whomever, are a threat to the judicial decision-making process," Gorsuch said. Reporters from the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg attended the talk.
The leaked draft was largely incorporated into Justice Samuel Alito's final opinion in June that overturned Roe v. Wade in a case upholding Mississippi's law banning abortion after 15 weeks. The ruling paved the way for severe abortion restrictions or bans in nearly half of U.S. states.
In June's ruling, Roberts, appointed to the court in 2005 by former President George W. Bush, voted to uphold Mississippi's law but he did not join the conservative justices in also overturning Roe v. Wade, as well as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to end a pregnancy. He wrote that there was no need to overturn the broad precedents to uphold the state law, saying he would take “a more measured course.”
Roberts has spoken out repeatedly about the importance of the judiciary’s independence and to rebut perceptions of the court as a political institution not much different than Congress or the presidency.
Opinion polls since the leak and the release of the final abortion decision, though, have shown a sharp drop in approval of the court and confidence in the institution.
When asked what the public might not know about how the court work, Roberts emphasized the collegiality among the justices and the court's tradition of shaking hands before starting conferences or taking the bench. After the justices might disagree about a decision, everyone eats together in the court's dining room where they talk about everything but work, he said. He said it's not borne out of “fake affection” but a respect that comes from the push and pull of explaining ideas and listening to the responses to them.
“We have a common calling and we act like it,” he said.

MIRKA FEDERER has been by husband Roger's side throughout his incredible career, which is now over.
Roger has retired aged 41, after injuries finally caught up on the Swiss legend who won 20 Grand Slams in a stunning career.
Who is Mirka Federer?
Federer's wife represented Switzerland during her tennis career, but was actually born in Slovakia before emigrating at the age of two.
She is known for being an Olympian and has participated at all four Grand Slam venues.
After failing to recover from a persistent foot injury, Mirka became Federer's public relations manager and handled much of his media affairs.
Mirka has been in the crowd for all of Federer's greatest moments although in recent years she has been forced to miss the occasional match due to pregnancy.
What are Mirka Federer's biggest sporting achievements?
Mirka has competed at the US Open, Wimbledon, the French Open and the Australian Open.
At these Grand Slam events, she won four matches out of nine.
The Olympian and tennis star was victorious at three major events in Tel Aviv, Klosters-Serneus and Clearwater, USA.
She also won a tournament in Langenthal, Switzerland in 1993.
How long has Mirka been married to Roger Federer?
The happy couple first met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where they were both competing.
They tied the knot at Wenkenhof Villa in Basel, Federer's hometown, in April 2009.
The pair didn't opt for a lavish affair, instead choosing an intimate ceremony and only inviting close family and friends.
Most read in tennis
How many children do Mirka and Roger Federer have?
Mirka decided to take on a less high profile role after giving birth to the couple’s two sets of twins.
The Federer couple have twin girls Charlene and Myla - born in 2009 - and twin boys Lenny and Leo, who arrived in 2014.
Speaking shortly after the birth of his sons, Roger said Mirka is the reason that the family are able to travel the world.
He said: “My wife does a lot of work, as much as she can. And I try to help as much as I can.
“We have the grandparents as well and all my team members, they sometimes just tag along.
"Clearly we also need some help on the road, so Mirka can have an opportunity sometimes to sleep in a little bit, or come to watch one of my matches.
“You need to be well organised, but by now we know how it works.”

The sensor is a result of five years of collaborative innovation by Newsight and its partners including Fraunhofer and Tower-Jazz. The product offers distinctive features, including:
- Newsight’s patented enhanced Time-Of-Flight (eTOF) technology that is well demonstrated on its NSI1000 sensor chip. This technology enables maximal flexibility using multi-sets of configurations, in-pixel accumulation, and a novel depth calculating process that does not require heavy calculations and expensive MCU.
- Event aware unique circuit, which was developed as part of the Israeli smart imaging consortium (https://www.smartimagingiia.com/). The solution enables event driven imaging, while a unique circuit attached to each pixel makes it possible to broadcast only lines with pixels that were changed from a previous frame. This feature is specifically designed for Smart City enabled cameras and smart traffic solutions.
- Multi-triangulation: a unique solution for industry 4.0 applications and measurement devices of 480 ultra-accurate depth points, down to micron accuracy for close 3D inspection of production rail objects.
- Built in fusion, allowing the sensor to extract a full resolution B/W image together with a depth image from the same frame data, making image and depth fusion for simplified use by systems developers.
- Chip design using a standard CMOS image sensor process, with only two system power source requirements (1.8V, 3.3V), making it a low-power, easy to integrate, and affordable solution for mass markets.
“The innovative new NSI9000 is an affordable CMOS image sensor providing advanced features for depth sensing and LiDAR applications,” said Eli Assoolin, Newsight Imaging CEO. “We have now begun shipments of chips to select customers with high-end requirements for their target applications, adding to our pipeline of dozens of companies who tested our NSI1000 and who have been awaiting the NSI9000.
“With built-in eTOF™ technology, event detection capabilities and a host of new features, we expect to attract customers across a wide range of industries and multiple applications in automotive Lidars, Metaverse AR Glasses, Smart Cities and other 3D applications. Of special interest is the chip’s ‘Window of Interest’ that enables any rectangular resolution. As well, we believe that such advanced solutions can be offered at affordable prices for building high volume best ROI depth imaging products. We would like to thank our partners and our talented team for their achievement bringing the NSI9000 to market and helping to build long-term value for our shareholders.”

The first LGBTQ+ wellness and behavioral health app to launch Q1 2023
DENVER, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- You:Flourish, the first wellness and behavioral health smartphone application designed specifically for the needs of the LGBTQ+ community, has launched its equity crowdfunding campaign to the public on Wefunder, empowering people to take action and address the significant mental health crisis among the LGBTQ+ community. The app is slated to launch in the first quarter of 2023.
You:Flourish's Community Round of investment is open to anyone from traditional investors to individuals making their first impact investment. For as little as $100, individuals can do their part to participate in the company's core mission and support the LGBTQ+ community.
It has been a record year for anti-LGBTQ+ bills. According to the Human Rights Campaign, more than 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills had been proposed in state legislatures by April 2022.
"We need champions who will step up for the LGBTQ+ community," said David Kendall (he/him), a lead investor in You:Flourish's equity crowdfunding campaign and founder of Bold Legal LLC, which represents You:Flourish. "We talk about the rising numbers of LGBTQ+ youth attempting suicide, and we read the stories of transgender individuals who are denied health care. No matter where you live or who you know in the LGBTQ+ community, now is the time when we can make a significant impact and take action against wrongdoing."
Modeled on a behavior change framework, You:Flourish is designed by public health, wellness and behavioral health professionals and provides access to vetted, LGBTQ+-affirming behavioral health support.
The You:Flourish platform allows users to customize a peer support community with shared intersectional identities, establish wellness goals, track daily habits and earn rewards for engagement. In addition to a library of resources and interactive content, You:Flourish offers a directory of vetted mental health professionals who are trained to provide culturally relevant and LGBTQ+-affirming behavioral health interventions.
Mental health professionals who don't have LGBTQ+ behavioral health training and want to serve this community can receive training through You:Flourish's partner Envision:You. A nonprofit, Envision:You addresses gaps in behavioral health outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals. Through its multiphase Behavioral Health Provider Training Program, Envision:You works with mental health professionals across the United States to address biases that exist in the field and to train providers to deliver culturally relevant and affirming care.
According to Gallup, the proportion of U.S. adults who consider themselves to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender has grown at a faster pace over the past year than in prior years. Roughly 21% of Generation Z Americans who have reached adulthood — those born between 1997 and 2003 — identify as LGBT.
"Seeing your identity and who you are as a person splashed across headlines and demonized by political leaders undermines the mental health and well-being of a community that's already at risk," said You:Flourish Founder and CEO Steven Haden (he/him). "At the end of the day, this is about saving lives, creating meaningful and life-affirming connections, and providing hope for people who have lost it."
You:Flourish is a public benefit corporation balancing purpose and profit to bring wellness and affirming resources to members of the LGBTQ+ community. The You:Flourish smartphone application is created, curated and supported by Envision:You, a nonprofit organization that seeks to close gaps in behavioral health outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals through co-created community programming, advocacy engagement, public awareness campaigns and evidence-based training. CoPeace, an ESG holding company that invests in growing companies demonstrating social and environmental impact, is offering services including fractional C-suite support to You:Flourish. AppIt Ventures is leading the app's development. Visit www.you-flourish.com for more information.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As cities and towns seek funding for transportation, parks, affordable housing, and other public goods, they often overlook one of their most valuable assets—land. A new Policy Focus Report from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy shows how local governments make land more valuable by building infrastructure and facilitating urban development, and how they can ensure that the community reaps the benefits.
Land value capture enables communities to recover and reinvest the land value increase that results from actions such as building new train stations or changing regulations to enable more dense development. In Land Value Capture in the United States: Funding Infrastructure and Local Government Services, author Gerald Korngold explains how the major land value capture tools work, and recommends a path forward for leaders who want to implement them.
The Trustee Professor of Law at New York Law School, Korngold also lays out the legal precedents for different types of land value capture and recommends ways policy makers can minimize legal risks.
"Land value capture has in various forms been used and legally upheld in the United States for some 150 years," he writes. "It remains a valid and viable option to finance government activities, provided policy makers leverage available tools appropriately."
Korngold provides an in-depth analysis of seven land value capture tools—exactions, impact fees, linkage fees, special assessments, mandatory inclusionary housing, incentive zoning, and transferable development rights. He uses case studies from around the country to explain how land value capture can contribute to public policy goals such as equity and sustainability.
For example, in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC, commercial property owners agreed to tax themselves more than $700 million to fund a 23-mile extension of the Metrorail system to Dulles International Airport, roughly an eighth of the total cost of the project. The first section of the new line opened in 2014, and the rest is scheduled to open later this year.
In downtown Chicago, the city grants developers permission to construct larger buildings in exchange for voluntary fees, which are calculated based on the size of each project. The city directs 80 percent of the revenue to commercial development in underserved neighborhoods, 10 percent to public improvements near each downtown project, and 10 percent to the restoration of landmarks.
Such policies are possible because transportation infrastructure and zoning for greater density have both been shown to increase the value of land, either by providing access to jobs and amenities, or increasing the profitability of a development, as Korngold documents in the report.
"Without land value capture, this increased land value remains exclusively in private hands despite the public actions that created it," Korngold writes.
The report is intended for state and local policy makers, urban planners, economic development officials, civic leaders, lawyers, advocates, and other stakeholders.
"Gerald Korngold provides an all-too-rare pragmatic overview of land value capture, a topic that stokes great passion from theorists and practitioners alike," said Ian Carlton, senior economic advisor for ECONorthwest, a consulting firm that specializes in economics, finance, and planning. "He clearly explains many of the value capture options that one could implement in the U.S. context."
The report is available for download at no cost on the Lincoln Institute's website: https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/policy-focus-reports/land-value-capture-in-united-states
The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy seeks to improve quality of life through the effective use, taxation, and stewardship of land. A nonprofit private operating foundation whose origins date to 1946, the Lincoln Institute researches and recommends creative approaches to land as a solution to economic, social, and environmental challenges. Through education, training, publications, and events, we integrate theory and practice to inform public policy decisions worldwide.

From the latest designer gown to the most luxurious accessories, a bride-to-be leaves no stone unturned to make her big day flawless and stunning. She is only about matching her appearance to the queen she is from the inside. That’s where a bridal designer plays a crucial role. Karoza Bridal, a renowned Bridal Boutique and designer brand, has been offering impeccable services to adorn brides for over two decades. The brand has quickly earned recognition among top-notch bridal boutiques in the country because of its vibrant designs and commitment to services.
Located in downtown Glendale, Karoza Bridal started its journey in 1992. Since its inception, the brand has focused on sophisticated and tailored aesthetics that take adorning the bride a notch higher. From fabrics to cuts and designs, the brand keeps a close look on being unique and stunning in every way possible without compromising on the quality.
During the past few years, Karoza Bridal has grown from a designer brand offering end-to-end bridal services, into a distinguished bridal boutique. Realizing each bride-to-be’s different needs and preferences, Karoza Bridal has a wide collection of exclusive designer wedding dresses in an inclusive range of sizes and price points. Karoza Bridal wants every bride to look and feel special on her big day.
To offer a more luxurious experience,in 2021, Karoza Bridal opened a sprawling showroom in the heart of downtown Glendale. Besides offering a stunning collection of designer bridal wear, the showroom has a lavish bridal salon. Like any other business, the pandemic was quite a lot. Relocating the business amidst the pandemic created its own set of challenges; nevertheless, the brand came out on the other side stronger. With a keen eye on quality and high-end customer service, Karoza Bridal stayed afloat even during the pandemic when most businesses downsized and folded. The brand maintains an enthusiastic and hardworking team ready to go far and beyond to service the customer.
The team understands that customers’ needs come first and therefore offers the most suitable and perfect choice to make their wedding day special; flowing from this, Karoza Bridal focuses far beyond profit.

It was awarded the 2020-2021 Bridal Collective Gold Elite Partner and the prestigious Platinum Dealer for Pronovias Group award. Some of the enchanting pieces from Karoza Bridal were included in the renowned Vera Wang Bride collection in 2022. With a long list of achievements, Karoza Bridal has also amplified its presence on social media, earning more than 240K followers on Instagram in just a couple of years.
Dominating the fashion industry, specifically, the bridal collection niche which thrives on unpredictable trends has been quite difficult. Still, Karoza Bridal has managed to take a firm stance here and set the pace in this ever-competitive market. The brand ensures that its collections never go out of style by adding fresh designs to its range of bridal collections every season. Karoza Bridal has paid close attention to customer feedback which has further helped the brand improve its services.
Going forward, Karoza Bridal wants to expand its inventory and staff to cater to more clients. The brand seeks to reach brides-to-be across the country to transform their whole wedding experience.

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO – Rory McIlroy’s first competitive round on next year’s Ryder Cup course was a success.
The four-time major champion holed out an approach shot for an eagle en route to a 4-under 67 for an early share of the clubhouse lead in the opening round of the Italian Open on Thursday at the Marco Simone club outside Rome.
After producing only one birdie on his opening nine holes — having starting his round on the back nine — McIlroy shot up the leaderboard when he landed his second shot on the par-4 453-yard third a few feet from the hole. The ball then rolled in and McIlroy lifted his arms in delight as he watched from afar back up the fairway.
“That eagle obviously ignited something and sort of kick started my round a little bit,” McIlroy said. “I played some really good golf on the way in. I played the more difficult nine well and the easier nine not so well, so probably evened out. Just need to tidy up a few things going into the next few days.”
With later starters still on the course, McIlroy was tied for the lead with Gavin Green of Malaysia and Adri Arnaus of Spain.
Defending champion Nicolai Højgaard, who played in a group with McIlroy and two-time Italian Open champion Francesco Molinari, finished one stroke behind the leaders.
McIlroy went 5 under over his final seven holes.
The start of play was delayed for an hour because of lightning and conditions remained blustery throughout the day.
On the par-5 626-yard 18th, McIlroy drove his tee shot into high grass and had to chip out into the fairway before eventually sinking a 20-foot putt to save par.
“If you get it going off line here off the tee it’s very, very difficult,” McIlroy said. “The rough is incredibly thick and there’s sort of jungle outside of that if you get a play way off line.”
McIlroy has finished first and second, respectively in his previous two tournaments, the Tour Championship in Atlanta and the BMW PGA Championship in Wentworth, England, last week.
“If I can get the ball in the fairway the next three days, I should have a chance,” he said.
While Molinari struggled to a 2-over 73, Filippo Celli impressed for host Italy in his professional debut by placing two strokes behind the leaders. The 22-year-old Roman won the silver medal for best amateur at this year’s British Open, claimed the European amateur title and recently helped Italy win the Eisenhower Trophy — the world amateur team championship.
U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick, 10th-ranked Viktor Hovland and Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald were among the later starters.
From Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, 2023, Marco Simone will become the third venue in continental Europe to host the Ryder Cup after Valderrama in Spain (1997) and Le Golf National in France (2018).
Donald, along with vice captains Thomas Bjørn and Edoardo Molinari, are expecting feedback from McIlroy and others on how to set up the course to Europe’s advantage.
“I think stats-wise, you look at the American Team, they are very good sort of from 150 (yards) in, so try to set the golf course up so it’s a challenge to get your tee shots within that range,” McIlroy said. “Even this year compared to last year, some of the tee shots have been brought in and the rough has been brought in on either sides. You’ve got bunkers that you can carry at 300 or 310 but the angle it’s created is very, very tight and you’re hitting into smaller windows.
“By forcing people to play more conservative off the tee, I think that helps the Europeans a little bit.”
Donald, Bjørn, the Molinari brothers, McIlroy, Hovland, Fitzpatrick and Tyrrell Hatton ate dinner together Wednesday.
“It was good," McIlroy said, "to catch up and talk about the golf course."

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — September was shaping up as a good month for commuters on Virginia Railway Express outside the nation’s capital, with the service offering 30 days of free rides to lure back riders lost during the pandemic.
Then a freight-rail strike threatened to shut down service on the VRE entirely, along with numerous other commuter rail services across the country, though President Joe Biden said early Thursday that a tentative agreement had been reached to avert it.
“I really do not want to have to drive to Crystal City,” said Chris Barbagallo of Bristow, Virginia, as he waited Wednesday afternoon for the train back home.
He takes the roughly hourlong train ride from the outer suburbs of Prince William County to avoid the region’s notorious traffic. VRE said it would have been forced to shut down service if there was a strike, and there are few feasible mass-transit alternatives for long-distance commuters.
Some commuter lines would have been affected; others would not. It depends largely on whether the commuter line owns its own tracks or uses tracks owned by the freight companies.
The largest commuter rail systems, all in metropolitan New York, would not have been affected, but the Metra system in Chicago said before the deal was announced that it was expecting disruptions on at least four of its 11 lines.
Commuter rail services in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas would have also been affected by a strike. The Sounder system in the Seattle area would have been forced to shutter. About 5,000 people ride Sounder trains each day — down from about 20,000 before the pandemic. In greater Minneapolis, transit agencies planned to offer bus service to replace commuter rail service that would be forced to suspend on the smaller Northstar service
The Association of American Railroads, which represents the freight rail industry, estimated that half the commuter rail systems in the country depend at least in part on tracks owned by the affected freight railroads.
John Cline, director of government relations for the the Commuter Rail Coalition, an industry trade group, said there are 36 commuter rail lines in the U.S., and the impact on each ranges from “potentially catastrophic” to negligible.
Meanwhile, there was little the commuter systems could do but wait to see how it played out.
“We’re kind of like innocent bystanders,” he said. “We don’t have a seat at the table. We’re not negotiating these contracts.”
At Virginia Railway Express, the potential strike comes as the service is offering free rides during the month of September in an effort to boost ridership that has never recovered from the pandemic. It also comes at a time when riders are utilizing VRE as a substitute for six stations in northern Virginia that are temporarily closed on the larger Metrorail system.
VRE spokeswoman Karen Finucan Clarkson said preliminary data for September shows average daily ridership approaching 10,000 one-way trips during the free-ride promotion. That’s almost double the average ridership of 5,125 trips in August, but still well below the pre-pandemic ridership of more than 18,000 trips.
On the other side of the Potomac, the Maryland Transit Administration notified users of the MARC commuter rail service that service would be suspended on its Brunswick and Camden lines if there was a strike, but service on the Penn line could continue.
At the Crystal City station on the VRE, commuter Thomas Good of Woodbridge said he’s been enjoying the free rides during September on a service that runs toward the pricey side — a one-day pass costs nearly $25 on the longest rides. He’s not looking forward to driving but is prepared to adapt.
“Flexibility has been the word” in recent years, he said. “I think we can figure it out.”

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine officials have warned of possible danger to aircraft and ships from debris from a new Chinese rocket launch that might fall in northern Philippine waters, authorities said Thursday, adding no debris has been sighted so far.
The Philippine Space Agency said China’s Long March 7A rocket was launched Tuesday night from the Wenchang Space Launch Center on Hainan island. That prompted the agency to notify Philippine authorities of potential danger in two offshore areas where the debris could crash down.
The possible “drop zones” were 71 kilometers (44 miles) off Burgos town in Ilocos Norte province and 52 kilometers (32 miles) from Santa Ana town in Cagayan province, the space agency said, citing information from a notice to pilots released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
Rocket parts that detach before reaching space should by design fall back offshore less than an hour after a rocket launch, Philippine Space Agency spokesperson Tricia Zafra said.
“So far, no sighting. We continue to seek out reports,” Zafra told The Associated Press. “Hopefully, no injuries or damage related to it.”
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines warned Wednesday in a notice to pilots about the possible danger posed by the debris in the two northern Philippine offshore areas.
“While debris from CZ-7A is unlikely to fall on land features or inhabited areas in the Philippine territory, falling debris still poses a considerable threat to ships, aircraft, fishing boats, and other vessels that will pass through the drop zones,” the Philippine Space Agency said in a statement Tuesday.
In July, the core stage debris of a Long March 5B rocket that was launched by China landed in Philippine waters in an uncontrolled reentry, the agency said. No damage or injuries were reported.
Fishermen at the time found a torn metal sheet showing part of the Chinese flag and a marking of the Long March 5B rocket in the West Philippine Sea about 160 kilometers (100 miles) off Mamburao town in Occidental Mindoro province, according to the space agency, using the Philippine name for a part of the South China Sea closer to its western coast.
The agency asked the public on Tuesday to immediately inform authorities if suspected floating debris is sighted at sea and warned people against retrieving or coming in close contact with such materials.
Manila’s space agency says it’s working with the Department of Foreign Affairs to push for the Philippine ratification of two U.N. treaties, including one that promotes accountability among nations for possible damage or injuries arising from the launching of objects such as satellites to space.
China has faced criticism for allowing rocket stages to fall to Earth uncontrolled at least twice before. NASA accused Beijing last year of “failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris” after parts of a Chinese rocket landed in the Indian Ocean.
The country’s first space station, Tiangong-1, crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2016 after Beijing confirmed it lost control. An 18-ton rocket fell uncontrolled in May 2020.
China also faced criticism after using a missile to destroy one of its defunct weather satellites in 2007, creating a field of debris that other governments said might jeopardize other satellites.

The seventh annual PATRÓN Mexican Heritage Tin honors the vibrant and modern traditions of Mexico in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month
ATOTONILCO EL ALTO, Jalisco, Mexico, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PATRÓN Tequila, the world's number one super-premium tequila*, is collaborating with the acclaimed and like-minded visionary—Mexico City-based sculptor, Sebastian—to unveil the 2022 limited-edition PATRÓN Mexican Heritage Tin in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Released annually, the limited-edition PATRÓN Mexican Heritage Tin is brought to life by a new artist each year that visually shares the stories, traditions, and culture of Mexico through stunning one-of-a-kind designs.
For this year's limited-edition PATRÓN Mexican Heritage Tin, Sebastian tells the story of one of the oldest traditions in Mexico that continues to be honored at PATRÓN Tequila—the harvesting and cutting of agave piñas. The boldly crafted and vibrant tin design is an overhead view of the agave heart—one of the three, 100% naturally perfect ingredients that is masterfully combined to create PATRÓN Tequila. The design is inspired by the detailed cutting process of the agave piña that's steeped in natural geometric design, and a key component of the handcrafted production process by our familia of jimadors.
"Celebrating Mexican culture and creative perfection, this collaboration carries on PATRÓN Tequila's legacy of aligning with progressive pioneers who share the values of passion, drive, and dedication to hard work. This year, we are honored to have partnered with Sebastian to bring the traditions of Mexico to life through the PATRÓN Mexican Heritage Tin," shared Kathy Parker, President and Global Chief Marketing Officer for PATRÓN Tequila. "Between our commitment to time-honored traditions and Sebastian's artistry, we've created a dynamic collaboration of passionate mastery between brand and artist."
Best known for his monumental works of steel and concrete displayed in Mexico and around the world, Sebastian's abstract geometric forms and bold colors are inspired by the Mexican landscape and natural shapes found in the regions of Mexico in which Sebastian resides.
"I'm honored to be collaborating with PATRÓN Tequila—a brand that is as proud of its Mexican roots as I am, and equally committed to handcrafted perfection," Sebastian shared. "For the design of the tin, it was important for me to honor the traditions of Mexico that celebrate natural elements like the agave plant and piña imagery. This collaboration highlights our passion for craftsmanship, and I look forward to sharing this piece of art with the world while they enjoy the world's finest tequila."
The limited-edition PATRÓN Mexican Heritage Tin includes a bottle of PATRÓN Silver, and is available at local retailers nationwide in the US as well as select international markets for an SRP of $59.99 while supplies last. Additionally, the tin can be purchased online.

According to Waukesha police, three staff members at The Lawrence School were booked and released Wednesday on potential charges of failure to protect and the fourth person was arrested and taken to the Waukesha County Jail on possible child abuse charges.

Squid Game: The Challenge Reality Show
For the unversed, after the success of the well-known Squid Game, Netflix introduced viewers to "Squid Game: The Challenge," which would go on to become one of the most popular reality competition series in history and the first in history to be influenced by a well-liked Korean series. As 456 people fight for $4.56 million, the challenge is expected to draw a sizable viewership and deliver the greatest lump sum cash reward in the history of the reality show. But the upcoming and highly awaited show has generated criticism.
Hwang Dong Hyuk who received Best Director for a Drama Series at the Emmys 2022 for his work on the Squid Game pilot "Red Light, Green Light" was questioned about the show.
As reported by Variety, when questioned about the upcoming reality series Squid Game: The Challenge and the issues surrounding it backstage in the press room, he said, "Yes, I am aware of the reality show being created. I actually met with the creator yesterday, and they had many questions for me. What I hope is that they will be carrying on my vision and intention as much as possible for the show."
He further added, "I think that even though our show does carry quite a heavy message, and I know there are some concerns of taking that message and creating it into a reality show with a cash prize, however, I feel like whenever you take things too seriously, that's really not the best way to go for the entertainment industry."
Squid Game can be streamed on Netflix.

Latest update September 15th, 2022 12:59 AM
Sep 15, 2022 News
Kaieteur News – Former Finance Minister Winston Jordan has said that the A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) government was well prepared to strengthen the Natural Resource Fund (NRF), particularly its Public Accountability and Oversight Committee (PAOC) when it sought to establish partnerships with other oil producing nations ahead of the 2018 no confidence motion that prematurely forced its removal from government.
Jordan said that not only had the previous government put the laws and mechanisms in place to empower and enable the NRF but it was preparing to learn from other countries that had established themselves and were willing to share their experiences about the sector.
One such country is Uganda, which had discovered oil in commercial quantity, six years prior to Guyana. In an exclusive interview with this newspaper, Jordan explained that Uganda was an emerging state, just as Guyana but somewhat ahead. “And we learnt how difficult it was for them as soon as they found oil to start getting their act together,” Jordan told the newspaper. Pointing out that Uganda does not have the race issues that Guyana is known for Jordan said that the country was able to put a number of things in place in preparation of their oil wealth. “They were able to put together the (Petroleum) commission, their version of NRF and all those things,” the former minister said. He urged that Uganda, “… had a whole group of youngsters who studied in Edinburgh in Scotland and other places.” He said these persons were sent overseas to study in fields such as petroleum engineering among others and in one large building housed the professionals. There were several sectors where persons were reading maps about the seabed, the land space and other types of information.
The Guyanese team was even exposed to a communal meeting where authorities went to talk to tribes on whose land some of the oil was found. It involved the amount of money they would get and organize for sessions to teach the people how to use the money to develop themselves. Impressed by the country’s preparation for the oil sector, Jordan said that is why when the then government constructed the public accountability and oversight committee, “we were bringing people from Uganda to teach us how this committee could work and what are some of the issues.” Jordan said that’s why also there is a difference between the NRF passed by the People’s Progressive Party government and that of the previous government. “When you look in our law, you would see the very extensive role the PAOC would have played.”
In the NRF by the previous government, 22 members would have sat on the PAOC with representatives from transparency organisations, civil society, accounting, the regions, and even the media among others. The current government has nonetheless reduced the committee to nine members: two coming from the business community, three from the religious community, two from labour and professionals, and one from the National Assembly.
While the passage of the NRF caused a big racket that saw several opposition MPs being suspended from Parliament and a court case currently in progress, the Opposition is now accusing the government of not only weakening the NRF, but filling it with persons directly or indirectly connected to the party. Opposition Member of Parliament and Chairman of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNC), Shurwayne Holder on Monday said that seven of the nine persons appointed to the PAOC, are known publicly to have deep affiliation with the PPP, while the two representatives from the Private Sector are a sitting Vice President and a former Vice President of the Private Sector Commission, which he insinuated leans of the side of the current government. Holder continued that of the three representatives from the religious community, one is from the Dharmic Sabha which is led by a Minister of Government; the second representative happens to be the Chief Commercial Officer of a major Internet Service Provider and the Chief Executive Officer of that company happens to be the son of a former PPP Minister and brother of a sitting Minister, Holder said. “The third representative has known links to GINA and the Ministry of Health and is in fact a known critic of former Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and wrote articles to that effect, he said.
Holder accused the government of “coining” the NRF Bill to allow them to determine largely the nominees from the Labour Unions. “Instead of allowing the two major unions – GTUC and FITUG to provide nominees, one representative came from GPSU (a breakaway faction of GTUC) and the other being the General Secretary of GAWU”, whose President is a PPP MP, he said.
The Parliamentary Nominee, Holder continued, was virtually selected by the PPP through their one seat majority and has been appointed by the President to chair the Committee. Holder said it is “quite clear that the PPP Government has no genuine interest in transparency and accountability with respect to the spending of oil money. What it is interested in and has since been accomplished is the appointment of its friends and cronies to allow for total domination and control of the NRF board and more importantly the Public Accountability and Oversight Committee.”

(ISC)² CEO Clar Rosso Recognized as an Advocate in 2022 SC Media Women in IT Security List
List of leading women in cybersecurity celebrates their contribution to the sector and their work in mentoring, developing and creating opportunities for advancement
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- (ISC)² – the world's largest nonprofit association of certified cybersecurity professionals – today announced that its CEO, Clar Rosso has been named to the 2022 SC Media Women in IT Security list, recognizing her role in leading programs and initiatives to expand the cybersecurity workforce and talent pool.
The SC Media Women in IT Security program celebrates women who have made significant and consequential contributions to the field and community. These women have faced down security challenges, shaped the industry, and made a positive impact on the advancement of cybersecurity in the public or private sector.
As the cybersecurity industry and workplaces bounce back from disruptive impacts of the pandemic, the role of women advocates, mentors and leaders in the sector has never been more important. This list recognizes the specific efforts and initiatives spearheaded by women in the sector, including the vital collaboration necessary to maintain professional development opportunities for cybersecurity professionals in a time of considerable change and disruption.
"The SC Media Women in IT Security list is a celebration of the importance of diversity in our industry, and it underscores the responsibility we have to mentor the next generation of women in the field while promoting the positive benefits of a cybersecurity career," said Clar Rosso, CEO, (ISC)2. "I am honored to be recognized alongside these distinguished advocates and leaders, and I look forward to the road ahead filled with broken down barriers and new and unconventional pathways enabling more diverse and talented professionals to enter the cybersecurity industry."
For this year's list, Rosso was recognized for her involvement in the expansion of cybersecurity training and education to more people including women and other underrepresented minorities. Most recently, she led the launch of three major initiatives aimed at addressing the global workforce gap by making cybersecurity careers accessible to more people around the world including (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity and the (ISC)2 Candidate Program as well as the One Million Certified in Cybersecurity initiative. This pledge, announced by Rosso in August 2022 at the Cyber Workforce and Education Summit at the White House, takes this commitment even further, pledging free exams and training for one million people – including 500,000 from underrepresented groups – taking a major step towards reducing the global cybersecurity skills gap.

A Chinese government statement issued after the meeting didn’t specifically mention Ukraine, but said Xi promised “strong support” to Russia’s “core interests.” While the statement gave no details, Beijing uses “core interests” to describe issues such as national sovereignty and the ruling Communist Party’s claim to Taiwan over which it is willing to go to war.
Xi’s government, which said it had a “no limits” friendship with Moscow before the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, has refused to criticize Russia’s military actions. Beijing and India are buying more Russian oil and gas, which helps Moscow offset Western sanctions imposed over the invasion.
Observers say that Russia will likely grow increasingly reliant on China as a market for its oil and gas as the West moves to establish a price cap on Russian energy resources and potentially cut their imports altogether.
In trying to strengthen an alliance with China, Moscow has strongly backed Beijing amid tensions with the U.S. that followed a recent visit to Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“We condemn the provocations of the U.S. and its satellites in the Taiwan Strait,” Putin told Xi.
Along with Russian's attack on Ukraine, the summit is taking place against the backdrop of hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan not far from Uzbekistan, as well as strains in China's relations with Washington, Europe, Japan and India due to disputes over technology, security and territory.
Speaking at the start of his one-on-one talks with Xi, Putin blasted efforts by the United States and its allies to dominate global affairs.
“Attempts to create a unipolar world have recently taken an absolutely ugly shape. They are absolutely unacceptable for the vast majority of countries on the globe,” he said in opening remarks.
“The tandem of Moscow and Beijing plays a key role in ensuring global and regional stability,” Putin said. “We jointly stand for forming a just, democratic and multipolar world based on international law and the central role of the United Nations, not rules invented by some who try to enforce them on others without explaining what they are.”
Xi was more careful, saying that “in the face of changes in the world, times and history, China is willing to work with Russia to reflect the responsibility of a major country, play a leading role and inject stability into a troubled and interconnected world.”
SCO summit in the ancient city of Samarkand is part of Xi’s first foreign trip since the start of the coronavirus pandemic 2 1/2 years ago, underscoring Beijing’s desire to assert itself as a regional power.
The meeting came after Russia was forced to pull back its forces from large swaths of northeastern Ukraine last week amid a swift Ukrainian counteroffensive. Ukraine regaining control of several Russian-occupied cities and villages represented Moscow's largest setback since its forces had to retreat from areas near the capital early in the war.
Putin also met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, whose country is on track to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Raisi said Moscow and Tehran were finalizing a major treaty that would bring their relations to a “strategic level.”
He and Putin both criticized the U.S. at the start of their meeting. Raisi accused the U.S. of breaching its obligations under Iran's nuclear deal with world powers. Putin gibed American officials, saying “They are masters of their word -- they give it and then take it back whenever they want.”
The Russian leader also met with Central Asian leaders and planned a session with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday.
There was no indication whether Modi would meet Xi. Relations between India and China are strained due to clashes between the countries' soldiers from a border dispute involving a remote area of the Himalayas.
Putin also is scheduled for a one-on-one meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan. Turkey and Azerbaijan have the status of “dialogue partners” with the SCO.
Earlier this week, Azerbaijan and Armenia engaged in cross-border shelling that killed 176 troops on both sides, the most serious hostilities in nearly two years between the decades-long adversaries. The fighting has put Moscow, which has tried to maintain close ties with both countries, in a precarious position.
Putin's meeting with Erdogan will be closely watched for their statements on Ukraine and a July deal brokered by Turkey and the U.N. to clear the way for exports of grain and other agricultural products that were stuck at Ukraine's Black Sea ports after the invasion.
The Chinese leader is promoting a "Global Security Initiative" announced in April following the formation of the Quad by the U.S., Japan, Australia and India in response to Beijing's more assertive foreign policy. Xi has given few details, but U.S. officials complain it echoes Russian arguments in support of Moscow's actions in Ukraine.
The region is part of China’s multibillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative to expand trade by building ports, railways and other infrastructure across an arc of dozens of countries from the South Pacific through Asia to the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
On Thursday, Xi met with President Sadyr Zhaparov of Kyrgyzstan and said Beijing supports the “early operation” of a planned railway linking China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, the Chinese foreign ministry said.
China's economic inroads into Central Asia have fueled unease in Russia, which sees the region as its sphere of influence.
Xi visited Kazakhstan on Wednesday en route to Uzbekistan. Pope Francis was in Kazakhstan, but they didn't meet.

Brandon Maxwell blossoms in lilac for NY Fashion Week
NEW YORK (AP) — Home is where the heart is for Brandon Maxwell and it showed in his use of purple, his mother’s favorite color, throughout his New York Fashion Week spring/summer collection.
Tuesday’s show at Christie’s New York in Rockefeller Plaza opened with moody blue lighting and the sound of chirping birds as if it was just before daybreak. The atmospheric lighting gradually shifted to an airy lilac, evoking sunrise in the countryside.
Opting for pastels, layering and relaxed symmetrical silhouettes, Maxwell focused on a theme of soft feminine beauty. He mixed neutrals with pastels like baby blue, sage green and blush pink in everyday staple closet pieces for women. The show opened with a blush pink layered look: silver sequined mini skirt layered with a classic white graphic T-shirt, glittery cardigan and a pink blazer with structured shoulders.
Maxwell, a Texas native, said his inspiration for the collection came when he moved out of New York City.
“So (the collection) is still inspired by the people that raised me because a lot of I think what went into this collection were like involuntary memories that have been triggered in my time, in the silence outside of the city that took me back to my youth and the things that I loved,” Maxwell said.
He said that’s reflected in the clothes and their late 90s, early 2000 vibe. “I think that that’s when I really came to love fashion and and so yeah, my family’s always in there,” he said.
Maxwell’s nostalgia was reflected in looks like denim overalls with a matching black sequined top embroidered with yellow sunflowers and a plunging v-neckline. Other looks included wide tan cargo pants with a matching strapless halter top layered under a white cotton tank top. The most notable 90s-inspired look was a sheer full-length tulle dress layered on top of a white graphic tank.
The show closed with another slouchy layered look, featuring a floor-length silvery skirt resembling a Monet painting paired with a white T-shirt, rose pink blazer and chunky platform heel.
Sitting in the front row were Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, TV personality La La Anthony, supermodel Karlie Kloss and singer Kelsea Ballerini.
“(Maxwell) just gets it. He’s versatile, fits all body types (like) curvy like mine, which I love. He just gets it,” Anthony said.

2 busloads of migrants dropped off near VP Harris’ residence
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two buses of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border were dropped off near Vice President Kamala Harris’ home in residential Washington on Thursday morning in the bitter political battle over the Biden administration’s immigration policies.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been busing migrants out of Texas to cities with Democratic mayors as part of a political strategy this year because he claims there are too many arrivals over the border to his state. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey also has adopted this policy, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also got in on the act recently. It was first dreamed up by former President Donald Trump.
Abbott tweeted that he’d sent the buses that arrived Thursday: “We’re sending migrants to her backyard to call on the Biden Administration to do its job & secure the border.”
About two dozen men and women stood outside the U.S. Naval Observatory at dawn, clutching clear plastic bags of their belongings carried with them over the border, before moving to a nearby church. Harris’ office had no immediate comment.
After migrants seeking asylum cross the U.S.-Mexico border, they spend time in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility along the border until they are generally released into the U.S. to wait out their cases. Republicans say Biden’s policies encourage migrants to vanish into the U.S.; Democrats argue the Trump-era policy of forcing migrants to wait out their asylum cases in Mexico was inhumane.
DeSantis flew two planes of immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday. And last week, Abbott sent about 75 migrants to Chicago.
District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public emergency last week over the continued arrival of buses of migrants. The district earlier requested National Guard assistance to help stem a “growing humanitarian crisis” prompted by the arrival of thousands of migrants, but the Pentagon rejected the request.

If you’re looking for an easy and delicious fall drink to enjoy this season, look no further than this caramel apple sangria cocktail!
The caramel apple sangria recipe comes from Southern Living and calls for just a few ingredients: vodka, fresh apple cider, cinnamon sticks, apples, sparkling wine and caramel-dipped apple slices for garnish. To make the caramel apple sangria, simply stir everything together, chill for 30 minutes, then pour it into glasses and top with sparkling wine. You can then garnish the glasses with apple slices.
One important thing to note is that the caramel apple sangria also calls for pecan-flavored vodka (like this one from Cathead), but it looks like this might be hard to find depending on where you live. However, Pinnacle makes a salted caramel vodka available nationwide and sounds like it would be perfect. Or, you can try New Amsterdam’s apple vodka, which may also work well.
If caramel apples aren’t your go-to fall treat, take a look at these other fall sangria recipes. Chocolate-covered cherry sangria, apple and pear sangria and sangria with pumpkin, cinnamon and apple flavors sound like they’ll hit the spot just fine. You can also buy pre-made sangria at stores like Target, Sam’s Club and Aldi.
Also perfect for the season: a variety of hard cider flavors from different brands. Angry Orchard, for example, has Hardcore Dark Cherry Apple and Natural Baked Apple Pie this season. The apple pie cider includes flavors of apple, nutmeg, vanilla ice cream and buttery, baked crust.
Austin Eastciders‘ newest flavor is its Imperial Stash: Mike’s Hot Honey Cider, a collaboration with Mike’s Hot Honey which has sweet honey, chilis and crisp apples. Meanwhile, Blake’s Hard Cider Co. is offering Apple Pie, Apple Lantern (with roasted pumpkin flavors) and Caramel Apple.
For those that don’t want apple flavors at all, you’ll also find a brand new Baileys flavor this fall that’s perfect for drinking around a campfire.
New Baileys S’mores Irish Cream Liqueur is made with Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur and the flavors of toasted marshmallows and graham crackers, all with a rich chocolate finish. It can be enjoyed neat, with whipped coffee, or even poured into a jumbo marshmallow that makes a great edible shot glass.

A record number of asthma sufferers are dying.
"It's the highest increase in the death rate from asthma in 20 years," said Kenneth Mendez, president and CEO of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. "It grew to over 4,100 people, and it's hovered around 3,600 in prior times."
A new report from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranked cities by asthma prevalence, ER visits and asthma-related deaths. It found 19 of the top 20 worst cities for asthma are in the eastern half of the U.S., or the Midwest. Detroit, Michigan ranked at the top.
Dr. Kathleen Dass treats patients there.
"Asthma is incredibly common actually," Dass said. "It's every other patient I'm seeing right now."
The major drivers are air quality, poverty and climate change.
"It's gotten a lot worse, and that's because of climate change and increased allergy seasons, greater pollution, more carbon dioxide — those are all irritants," Mendez said.
Experts tell Newsy asthma patients are breathing in more air pollution and carbon dioxide. Heat waves, wildfires, extreme thunderstorms and hurricanes are also making asthma patients sicker.
More flooding is causing more indoor mold, and warmer temperatures are triggering attacks more frequently. They're also causing higher pollen counts and a longer ragweed season.
Plus, more wildfires and their smoke means more tiny air particles will reach the lungs and enter the bloodstream. Wildfire smoke is much more toxic to children’s lungs than air pollution from other sources. One cumulative study found increases in ER visits were 10 times higher for air pollution from wildfire smoke than from other air pollution sources.
Pediatrician Dr. Naomi Bardach cares for patients in San Francisco, California.
"[What] I'm most concerned about all of the effects of climate change is actually we know it's going to impact our children's health now, and it will in the future," said Bardach, a pediatrician in California.
CDC data shows asthma is the most common pediatric disease. It accounts for half a million ER visits each year.
This third week of September is "Astha Peak Week," which is when asthma episodes, attacks and hospitalizations for both children and adults tend to spike, just as kids return to school with the beginning of fall.
Bardach says the standard treatment is inhaled steroid medication, and says that patients should follow up after an ER visit to help manage asthma, if they have access.
"There's other things people can do at home to try and control their asthma, but it's generally not going to be as effective as making sure that you have access to medications," Bardach said. "The easiest way to get that is through a primary care doctor, but I know there's a lot of barriers to being able to do that. It's also on insurance companies and hospitals and public health systems to try and help improve that care."

TravelCenters of America's (NASDAQ:TA) investors will be pleased with their impressive 286% return over the last three years
The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. To wit, the TravelCenters of America Inc. (NASDAQ:TA) share price has flown 286% in the last three years. How nice for those who held the stock! Also pleasing for shareholders was the 57% gain in the last three months.
Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
During three years of share price growth, TravelCenters of America moved from a loss to profitability. Given the importance of this milestone, it's not overly surprising that the share price has increased strongly.
You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image).
We know that TravelCenters of America has improved its bottom line over the last three years, but what does the future have in store? It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time.
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that TravelCenters of America has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 33% in the last twelve months. That's better than the annualised return of 19% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for TravelCenters of America that you should be aware of.
Of course TravelCenters of America may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of growth stocks.

Experienced hockey midfielder Namita Toppo, who has played more than 150 international matches after making her senior India debut in 2012, on Thursday decided to call time on her career.
Debut in 2012 🏑
168 caps 😍
*COUNTLESS MEMORIES*Congratulations, Namita Toppo on an amazing career. One of the best Midfielders of the Indian Hockey Team has announced her retirement from Hockey today.
Wishing her all the best in future! pic.twitter.com/XndVypjIZc
— Hockey India (@TheHockeyIndia) September 15, 2022
The 27-year-old Toppo, hailing from Sundargarh District of Odisha, was part of the Indian team that won bronze and silver medals in the 2014 and 2018 Asian Games respectively. “The last 10 years have definitely been the best years of my life. I had a dream to play for my country at the biggest stages and I am so happy that I have been able to achieve my dreams,” Toppo said in a Hockey India release.
“I hope I have made a huge impact and I am very thrilled to see the way the Indian Women’s Hockey Team has progressed in the last decade. I will keep cheering and supporting for the team while I move on to a new chapter in my life.”
Toppo is a product of the Sports Hostel, Panposh, Rourkela. She first represented her state team in 2007 and her performances in domestic competitions saw her getting selected for U-18 Girls Asia Cup in Bangkok, Thailand in 2011 where India won a bronze medal. She was first selected to represent the senior national team in 2012 in the FIH Champions Challenge I in Dublin.
She was a part of the Indian junior team which won bronze at the 2013 FIH Women’s Junior World Cup in Mönchengladbach, Germany. Toppo took part in major tournaments like FIH Women’s World League Round 2 in 2013 where India won gold, 3rd Women’s Asian Champions Trophy in 2013 where India won a silver.
She also took part in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2014 Asian Games where India won a bronze and the 2016 Rio Olympics. Hockey India congratulated the two-time Asian Games medallist for her contribution to the port in the country’s game. “Namita has a made a humungous contribution to Indian hockey. Apart from giving everything on the field, Namita has also been a perfect role-model for the youngsters in the team,” national team chief coach Janneke Schopman said.
“Not many players get a chance to play 168 matches for their national teams and Namita has earned each one of those caps. Apart from being a great hockey player Toppo is one of the kindest people I know. She is very thoughtful and she always put the team first.”

It will be Buckhead vs. Sandy Springs as Westminster goes on the road to take on Riverwood in a non-region game at Bill Hoskyn Stadium Sept. 23.
While it’s the 17th meeting between the two long-time local rivals, it will be the first time Westminster and Riverwood will square off since Nov. 9, 2007, when the Wildcats defeated the Raiders 41-8.
"It’s been a while since we played (Westminster), but they’re right down the street and anytime you can play people that are in the same kind of area that you are, it’s always fun," Riverwood coach Michael Young said. "The players know each other a little bit and they kind of grew up playing against each other and that always adds another aspect of it from the players’ side. We’re just excited for another opportunity to get out there and compete. (Westminster has) been a very good program historically and we want to play the best and we’re willing to take that on, so we’re excited that they’re on our schedule. It should be a fun one."
The 2022 season has been a bit of a rocky road for Westminster (1-2) so far. After opening the campaign with a 14-0 victory over Buckhead archrival Lovett Aug. 19, the Wildcats lost to another local rival – Pace Academy – 21-19 Aug. 26 and were defeated by Benedictine 28-0 Sept. 2, before taking a bye week the following week.
"We really haven’t found a true identity yet," Westminster assistant coach Joe Sturniolo said. "We played a solid game against Lovett and we beat them and turned around against Pace and didn’t really play well, didn’t play up to our ability, and that cost us the game. Benedictine was somewhere in between. We did some things that were really good and we also made some mistakes. We fumbled twice on drives where we may have scored. So, we’re still trying to find our identity. We’re still inconsistent."
Westminster was scheduled to host Centennial Sept. 16. Results from the game were not available at press time.
The Wildcats have been led offensively by their two running backs – senior Quinton Ezzard and junior Fain Barton – while senior quarterback John Collier is also among the key players.
Meanwhile, Riverwood (0-3) has had its share of challenges as well at the beginning of the season. The Raiders lost to Alexander 48-0 in their season opener Aug. 19, before losing their next two games to Sandy Springs rivals – Holy Innocents’ 42-0 Aug. 26 and North Springs 21-10 Sept. 2 – before taking a bye week the following week.
"Obviously, the first three games haven’t gone the way we wanted it," Young said. "But there have been positives coming out of every game. We got a lot of guys that it’s their first year playing on Friday nights and they’re growing every week. We had our chances against North Springs and just didn’t finish. Right now, we’re gaining experience and we’re trying to learn how to win."
Senior tight end/defensive lineman Levi Linowes has led the way both offensively and defensively for Riverwood, while senior linebacker Gage Dwyer has also been a key player on defense for the Raiders.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s consumer inflation surged to a 17-year high in August 2022, its statistics agency said Thursday, signalling more hardship for citizens and businesses in Africa's largest economy.
The Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported in its latest consumer price index that inflation rose to 20.5% in August, up from 19.6% in July this year and 17% in August last year.
It is the seventh consecutive monthly increase in Nigeria's inflation this year and the highest since 2005.
The rise in inflation was driven by “a disruption in the supply of food products, an increase in import cost due to the persistent currency depreciation and a general increase in the cost of production,” the statistics agency said.
The food inflation rate in August 2022 was 23.1%, the statistics agency said, blaming increases in prices of some of the most common food items in Nigeria including bread, cereals and tubers.
The 17-year high consumer inflation — more than double the Central Bank of Nigeria’s 9% target — draws more concerns of hardship from citizens and businesses in Nigeria, a country of more than 200 million people.
Despite being Africa's largest economy and one of the continent's top oil producers, corruption, insecurity and lack of good governance have caused economic hardship to many in this West African country.
Analysts also see “external shocks” from the war in Ukraine as a contributing factor to Nigeria’s growing inflation. With the rising price of oil and gas, for instance, "our importation numbers and payment of subsidies have gone up, impacting the price of retail petrol which is key to businesses in the Nigerian market,” said Ese Osawmonyi with the Lagos-based SBM Intelligence research firm.
The security challenges which have led to the death of thousands in the last year in Nigeria's north have also further pushed food inflation higher by limiting supplies from some of Nigeria's biggest food-producing states, said analyst Osawmonyi.
That is in addition to fears that floods — which have displaced many homes and damaged crops across huge swathes of farmland in Nigeria's north — might further impact food prices.
The flour market is one of the worst hit by rising inflation in Nigeria. Some bakeries are now shutting down operations amid dwindling profits, according to Emmanuel Onuorah, who runs a bakery in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
“People are closing,” Onuorah said of the hardship faced by bakers and other businesses. “It is no longer profitable for us. You just sustain yourself.”

Woman accused of killing baby nephew was ‘putting make-up on’ as he drowned in bath at Glasgow home
A WOMAN accused of killing her infant nephew was putting on makeup as he drowned in a bath, a trial was told today.
Kayleigh Kerr is charged with the culpable homicide of Logan Cruickshanks at a house in Easterhouse, Glasgow, on August 25, 2018.
Prosecutors claim Kerr did culpably and recklessly put the 10-month-old child in an infant bath seat in the bath.
It is alleged the 25-year-old then filled the bath with an "excessive amount" of water than was stated on the "safety guidance" for the seat.
Kerr is further said to have repeatedly left Logan unattended and unsupervised.
The charge claims, by doing so, the woman did not follow the information regarding the use of the seat.
It is said Logan became "submerged" in the bath water and "died as a result of drowning".
Kerr faces an alternative charge under the Children and Young Persons Act of wilfully neglecting Logan that day.
The High Court in Glasgow heard from Kerr’s mum Agnes Kerr, 49, who told jurors in her evidence that they lived with Logan.
Agnes stated she was asleep in the morning of his death when a “hysterical” Kerr woke her up.
Most read in Scottish News
She said: “I didn’t know what she was shouting about.”
The witness recalled being told by Kerr that she left him in the bath for “two seconds".
Prosecutor Alan Cameron put a statement Agnes gave to the police at the hospital.
Agnes is claimed to have said: “She was shouting about something being wrong with Logan.
“She was flapping and mentioned something about him being in his bath...she said she left him for two seconds to do her makeup.”
Ali Murray, defending, asked how good the relationship was between Kerr and Logan.
Agnes replied: “She did everything for him, she was really good to him...I had no concerns at all.”
Paramedic Stuart Ramsey, 35, also told jurors that he was told by Kerr that Logan was in the bath.
His police statement was also put to him.
He is stated to have said: “She said she went to put some makeup on and when she returned he was under water.”
Mr Murray asked if Kerr attempted to conceal the fact she was putting makeup on and the witness replied: “No.”
Mr Murray: “She did not blame anyone else?”
Mr Ramsey: “No.”
Constable Alan Armstrong, 40, claimed he was told by Kerr that she had been putting on makeup in the bedroom and that she was “back and forth” checking on him.
The witness also described being told that Kerr found Logan face up in the water and had a “floppy head".
Kerr’s best friend Lauren Wilson, 27, told jurors that she was speaking to Kerr on Facebook messenger in the morning of Logan’s death.
She stated that it was arranged that the pair would meet at Miss Wilson’s property later that day with Logan.
A text message allegedly sent by Kerr said: “Leaving this down here to change, I’m going to give him a bath and that before I come.”
Miss Wilson stated she did not hear from Kerr again until she realised Logan was “hurt".
She added that Kerr was “upset, crying and screaming” on the phone.
Mr Murray put the witness’ police statement to her about when the pair met at Kerr’s home later that day.
It read: “Kayleigh said ‘I left Logan in the bath by accident and he wasn’t breathing’.
“She was saying things like ‘it was all my fault’ and wishes it was her.”
The trial continues before Judge Lord Matthews.
Kerr, of Uddingston, Lanarkshire, remains on bail meantime.

Understanding the Change Log
Welcome to the Quarterly IID Change Log. FDA publishes the IID on a quarterly basis. The Quarterly IID Change Log displays changes made since the previous quarterly IID publication.
The Quarterly IID Change Log shows three types of changes: quarterly corrected records, quarterly deleted records and MDE replacements. Note that new records are displayed on the primary IID webpage, not in the Quarterly IID Change Log. New records include the first appearance of an excipient in the IID, higher potencies for excipients, new routes of administration and dosage forms. MDE records that are higher than the previous quarter are also displayed on the primary IID webpage. New records are identified in the IID with a “Y” in Updated Record column.
What are quarterly corrected records?
The list of corrected records displays the current “changed” record above the previous record as it appeared in the last quarterly IID publication. The type of change made is evident in this display format which gives a before and after view of each changed record. Corrected records are those for which the ingredient name, unit of measure or potency were corrected in the current quarterly IID publication. Note that potency corrections that resulted in a decreased potency value are displayed in the Change Log because these are corrections of erroneous data. Increases in potency are displayed on the IID primary webpage and are designated as new entries.
What are quarterly deleted records?
The list of deleted records displays records that appeared in the previous IID publication but have been deleted from the current publication. Excipients are seldom completely removed from the IID. Most “deletions” reflect corrections of the route of administration or dosage form associated with the excipient record. These types of corrections create a new record for the excipient, thus deleting the old record. For example, the record for BETADEX SULFOBUTYL ETHER SODIUM, route of administration INTRAVENOUS, dosage form POWDER with maximum potency 270.00 mg/ml appeared on the deleted records list in October 2019. The reason for deletion of this record was a correction of the dosage form from POWDER to INJECTION, POWDER, LYOPHILIZED, FOR SOLUTION. The new record for this excipient appeared in the October 2019 IID with the correct dosage form. Along with the correction of dosage form, the units of measure were also update for this record to percentage weight per volume (27 %w/v).
What are quarterly MDE replacements?
The list of MDE replacements shows IID records from the previous IID publication that have been replaced with MDEs. A replacement will only appear when an MDE is found in the FDA’s master database that is higher than the existing maximum potency. Both maximum potency and MDE come from multiple approved applications, but the sources for maximum potency and MDE are not the same. Therefore, MDE should not be assumed to be a multiple of the replaced maximum potency. MDE will be populated in the IID in a phased approach. As we collect information, we expect MDEs to increase until MDE replaces maximum potency for most IID records.

Almost 50 Wounded Veterans Meet with U.S. Senators, Representatives, and Congressional Staff
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) this week brought dozens of veterans from across America to the nation's capital to advocate for legislation to enhance support for women veterans, improve access to mental health care, and ensure medically retired veterans get all the benefits they earned during their military service.
"Over the past year, Congress has shown support for veterans' issues by passing the Honoring Our PACT Act, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act, and the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Location Act," said Wounded Warrior Project CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Linnington. "However, there is still an opportunity to address veterans' mental health needs, retirement benefits, and health care access for women veterans. Nearly 50 wounded warriors took to the Hill in Washington this week to ask elected officials for their support. I want to thank U.S. Senators, Representatives, and Congressional staff members for spending time with veterans this week."
Women warriors showed up in force to advocate for legislation pertaining to their specific needs. Twenty-five women veterans took part. In addition to meeting in small groups with members of Congress, the women heard from VA Chief of Staff Tanya Bradsher, attended a private roundtable discussion with the House of Representatives Congressional Women Veterans Task Force (Chairman Mark Takano, D-Calif.-41, and Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.-1), and received an update on women's health initiatives from Kimberly Lahm, program director for Patient Advocacy & Experience, Women's, Child & Family Health Policy from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs).
"Coming to Washington and making our voices heard on behalf of our fellow veterans has been a great honor, and it's an important way to continue serving," said U.S. Air Force veteran Bonnie Dorman of Anchorage, Alaska. "This week was just the beginning for me. I look forward to working alongside other veterans to continue educating elected officials on veterans' needs – in my local community and on Capitol Hill."
With just a few short months remaining before the 117th Congress concludes in early January, Wounded Warrior Project is continuing to push for passage of key legislation, including the VA Peer Support Enhancement for Military Sexual Trauma Survivors Act, the Major Richard Star Act, and the STRONG Veterans Act of 2022.

The Daughters of the American Revolution handed out five 9/11 flags last week
NORTH COUNTY — The El Paso de Robles Chapter, NSDAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), presented local fire departments with flags commemorating 9/11 last week. On Thursday, Sept. 8, the DAR thanked both Fire Stations 1 and 2 in Atascadero, the Templeton Fire Department, and Shandon Fire Department for their service by presenting them with the flags. And on Friday, Sept. 9, they headed to the Paso Robles Fire Department to do the same.
“We chose to do this because, well, first and foremost, we’re patriots, and we want to celebrate the job and responsibility the fire departments do,” said Regent Susan Howard. “And we also want to honor for Patriot’s Day the fallen firefighters, the fallen policemen, and support our local fire departments in letting them know that we support them, we revere them, we honor them every day of our lives.”
The Daughters of the American Revolution are dedicated to preserving history, honoring patriots of the Revolutionary War, and making sure that the patriots of today are also celebrated.
“We’re just thankful for groups like this that still believe in patriotism and want to serve our country. That’s our mission, to serve the citizens of Atascadero and groups like this that partner with us in that cause,” stated Atascadero’s Fire Battalion Chief of Operations Matt Miranda. “We’re just super thankful to be able to hang out with them [the ladies of the DAR] and meet them and be able to share these flags with them.”
El Paso de Robles Chapter, NSDAR members Susan Clark, Regent Susan Howard, Lida Lucas, Sue Hayes, Betsy Beatty, and Linda Wood made up the group who headed out to hand out the commemorative flags. They also had many words of thanks to give the fire departments in the North County.
“It’s very comforting knowing that, despite the hot weather and how busy we are as a fire service that, we have these women coming over and providing us with a flag that’s symbolic to not just the fire service but the whole country,” said Templeton Fire Capt. Andrew Klein. “We have to constantly remember that life is fragile and we never know what’s going to happen and the only way to make it through dark times is with the support of everyone coming together. We can’t all do this alone; it has to be a community and a team effort.”
He went on to say that the DAR ladies bringing the 9/11 flag made the fire department feel supported and grateful and that it’s important to never forget our history.
“It’s beautiful. It’s a beautiful show of support for us, not only here in Paso Robles but across the nation and those who have given all in their service to the citizens of not only Paso Robles’s but all over the United States and throughout the world. Reunited in a sense and we thank them for that beautiful contribution,” said Jason Cox, fire captain for the day at Paso Robles Fire Department.

David Blond said he wanted the collection to merge the future of the brand with its move toward more ready-to-wear activewear while still paying homage to their past with more sculptured pieces. For the designers this meant: chain printed shirts and leggings but also their classic corsets.
“We’re starting a series of print collections based on archival pieces that Phillipe and I photographed, and translated to digital prints,” David Blond said.
Looks were inspired by research they did for their first book, which drew them to one of their signature elements: their chain hardware treatment, which has adorned the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B and Sharon Stone.
Celebrities in attendance included a mix of reality TV stars and social media influencers, and some fashionable stands outs like performance artist Amanda Lepore and style icon Daphne Guinness. The designers also featured celebrities on the runway from singer Cassie Ventura to YouTube personality Nikita Dragun.
Ventura, known for her early 2000s hit “Me & U,” sashayed down the runway in a denim corset body suit with hanging gold chains that swayed as she walked in her thigh-high denim boots.

FN Media Group Presents Microsmallcap.com Market Commentary
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NuLeaf Naturals, one of America's top pioneering cannabinoid companies, has launched a new CBD gummies line. Desperate for a good night's rest, more consumers are turning to CBD and CBN gummies for their sleep issues, especially as natural wellness trends have increased since the pandemic. Various cannabinoid products are available from the well-known industry developer and manufacturer of organic cannabinoid products in the form of oils (for humans and animals) and herbal capsules. To meet the growing consumer demand, cannabis companies Hempshire Group (TSXV:HMPG) (OTCPK:HMPSF), HEXO Corp (TSX:HEXO) (NASDAQ:HEXO), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC), Tilray Brands Inc (TSX:TLRY) (NASDAQ:TLRY), and Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB) (TSX:ACB) are also expanding their CBD products line.
The Hempshire Group (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) is the largest North American manufacturer of hemp cigarettes, with expertise in "seed-to-sale."
The Hempshire Group (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) just reported that it has finalized a binding purchase deal with European exclusive master distributor Montagnaria Group AG for MOUNTAIN® Smokes destined for Europe and the European Union (EU) for US$1.25 million.
The purchase agreement is the next step after Hempshire (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) announced in a press release on September 7, 2022 that it had just been given approval to market MOUNTAIN® Smokes in Belgium. Due to member state reciprocity, Hempshire (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) now has access to the whole EU.
In accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, Montagnaria will pay a minimum of US$1.25 million over the period of one year, commencing in September 2022 and ending in August 2023, for MOUNTAIN® Smokes. All purchase orders issued in accordance with the Purchase Agreement must be paid 50% at the time of issue, with the outstanding sums payable before Hempshire (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) dispatches the order.
The purchase agreement was executed to enable MOUNTAIN® Smokes to be distributed in a standardised and efficient manner throughout Europe and the EU. Montagnaria and Hempshire (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) are carefully working together to ensure that the MOUNTAIN® Smokes product conforms with each member country's specific "local" legislation, including any appropriate warning labels and packaging in the local language.
By placing its initial test orders in 2021, Montagnaria was able to place MOUNTAIN® Smokes in over 400 retail locations and smoke shops throughout Switzerland. Montagnaria also had a big impact on Hempshire's (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) ability to obtain Belgian government authorisation for the sale of MOUNTAIN® Smokes, which opened the door to the entire EU. Montagnaria will establish European warehouse and fulfilment facilities in order to support retailer accounts, convenience stores, and smoke shops throughout Europe. In order to create a sales and distribution plan for all of Europe, Montagnaria will work closely with Hempshire (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF).
"Penetrating the US$261 billion tobacco products market in Europe is one of our top priorities." said Hempshire President and CEO Martin Marion. "Montagnaria's binding financial commitment to MOUNTAIN® Smokes highlights their excitement and belief in the product, and their expectations of a successful European roll-out strategy. We intend on dedicating significant resources alongside Montagnaria to help facilitate brand awareness, consumer demand, and sales in each European country where we introduce MOUNTAIN® Smokes."
The second quarter of 2022 was revolutionary for the company. During the quarter, Hempshire Group (TSXV:HMPG) (OTC:HMPSF) and Hoist Capital Corp. merged. The business created by Hoist and Hempshire U.S. union is well-positioned to dominate the market for tobacco- and nicotine-free smoking alternatives. It continues the operations that Hempshire U.S. had previously handled.

On August 25, Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB) (TSX:ACB) acquired a majority stake in Bevo Agtech Inc., the only parent of Bevo Farms Ltd., one of North America's top suppliers of propagated vegetables and ornamental plants. With the Bevo Transaction's completion, Bevo and the Company agreed to sell one of Aurora's wholly-owned subsidiaries to buy the Aurora Sky plant in Edmonton, Alberta.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurora will purchase 50.1% of the outstanding common shares of Bevo, gain a majority on the board of directors, and consolidate Bevo's finances. Bevo's seasoned management team will continue to have a sizable stake in the company and remain in place as it implements a comprehensive expansion strategy that includes using the Aurora Sky facility for vegetable and orchid culture.

Youth football player dies unexpectedly after fulfilling dream of playing under the lights
FRENCH LICK, In. (WAVE/Gray News) – A 10-year-old football player died unexpectedly Tuesday morning after falling ill in the days prior.
Treven Ball played for a youth football team in Indiana. His family said he loved his friends, family and football.
“It was just four days ago he was running up and down the bleachers,” family friend Jessica Alexander told WAVE. “It doesn’t feel like it’s ever going to be the same without him on this field.”
Treven played under the lights for the first time last week.
“This was such a big part of his life – this field,” Treven’s aunt, Megan Murphy, said as his family returned to the place that brought him so much joy.
On that same field, a heartbroken community of teachers, friends and teammates gathered for a vigil Tuesday night to make sure he wasn’t forgotten.
“We knew what kind of kid he was,” Murphy said. “But to just come out here and see all the lives that he has affected. That truly meant something to us.”
“The last thing he did before he passed was try to tell his mom how much he loved her,” Alexander said.
The family did not disclose Treven’s cause of death.

Kanye West to end partnership with retailer Gap
- Published
The rapper Kanye West is to end a once celebrated partnership with the retailer Gap, which had hoped the collaboration could breathe new life into its brand.
Mr West accused the firm of failing to honour terms of the deal, including by failing to open standalone stores for his Yeezy fashion label.
The agreement with Mr West, who goes by Ye, was hailed as potentially transformative when announced in 2020.
But there have been signs of strain.
The first item produced under the partnership, a $200 (£173) puffa jacket, did not go on sale for a year. That led to reports that Gap was frustrated by the slow rollout of Yeezy products, which also included a plain hoodie in bright colours for $90.
Mr West, meanwhile, has repeatedly criticised the company on social media, accusing it of copying his designs, excluding him from meetings and ignoring his requests to join the board.
Gap, which has faced its own internal struggles including the firing of its chief executive this summer, did not respond to a request for comment.
Mr West's lawyer, Nicholas Gravante, said Mr West had tried to work through the issues with Gap but "gotten nowhere". He sent a letter on Mr West's behalf to Gap notifying it of his intent to end the deal on Thursday.
"Gap left him no choice but to terminate their agreement," he said. "Ye will now promptly move forward to make up for lost time by opening Yeezy retail stores."
Mr West, who made his name as a rapper in the 2000s before branching out into fashion, has long had high ambitions for Yeezy, which is known for its sell-out trainers, foam sliders and boxy, oversized clothes in colours like beige and black.
The company, which is owned by Mr West, was valued at $2.9bn in 2020 when the 10-year deal with Gap was announced.
Since then, the two companies have teamed up with high-end fashion label Balenciaga. The recent results of that collaboration - a series of black t-shirts, hoodies and anoraks - generated buzz when they went on sale this summer out of what looked like large trash bags.
That partnership is governed by a separate agreement, according to the letter sent on Mr West's behalf to Gap.
Mr West also has a partnership with Adidas, which is due to expire in 2026.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The athletic directors who lead the schools that play Division I college football at the highest level want the sport to continue be governed by the NCAA — if that governance can be streamlined.
LEAD1, an association of Football Bowl Subdivision ADs, convened 105 of its 131 members Wednesday for a meeting that focused mostly on how best to govern major college football.
There has been some momentum in the past year to seriously explore breaking FBS away from the NCAA and creating another structure to run the biggest revenue generator in college sports.
For now, though, the preference is for reform within the current structure.
“At the end of the day, it was very clear that the status quo is not acceptable,” said LEAD1 President and CEO Tom McMillen, the former Maryland basketball star and congressman. “And that there was a strong, very strong, preference for a model in the NCAA that is extremely streamlined and much less bureaucratic.”
McMillen added: “And if that can’t be accomplished, move it to the outside.”
McMillen did not detail what a more efficient governing model for major college football would entail.
He said LEAD1 planned to gather ideas cultivated at Wednesday’s meeting and share them with NCAA officials in a letter.
“We’re a facilitator. We’re not the decision-maker,” McMillen said. “We recommend. That’s really the extent of what we can do.”
The NCAA is in the midst of what college sports leaders hope will be an overhaul of the way Division I is structured and governed.
The Division I Transformation Committee was formed last year and has been meeting regularly for months. It is led by Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey and Ohio athletic director Julie Cromer, who is also a member of LEAD1.
“Certainly the debate today has been helpful,” Cromer said. “I think we’ll use this feedback in our transformation committee work.”
The Transformation Committee has already handed down proposals related to transfer rules and how NCAA enforcement operates as part of phase one of its work. A set of those proposals were approved last month.
Phase two is in progress, with membership requirements for schools, student-athlete benefits, access to championship events and revenue distribution at the core of the discussions.
“I think there exists some frustration with the lack of responsibility and the ability to be nimble and specific to our needs in football, within the current decision-making structure,” Cromer said of the FBS ADs.
As the NCAA’s role in governance is deemphasized, and more power is handed down to conferences and schools, it seemed a perfect time for a re-assessment of how major college football operates to many athletic directors.
The NCAA has limited involvement over FBS compared to the rest of Division I sports. The conferences run the College Football Playoff and share the hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue it generates with no NCAA involvement.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has suggested the College Football Playoff could become the governing body for major college football.
“Nothing about its current constitution would support that,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbick told The Associated Press last month. “So you can change it to play that role. But it’s not set up to do it now.”
One of the concerns about moving away from the NCAA would be the need to create a new, similar organization.
McMillen said the NCAA spends about $65 million per year on administrative and insurance costs.
“That does not include any kind of extraordinary costs or legal,” McMillen said. ”As you know, the NCAA is the legal shield. They take a lot of the front load.”
The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, an independent group of former and current college administrators that advocates for an emphasis on education in college sports, proposed in 2020 separating FBS from the rest of NCAA sports.
Sankey has said he is adamantly against the Knight Commission’s proposal, in large part because he doesn’t like the idea of compartmentalizing one sport within an athletic department.
Sankey attended the LEAD1 meeting to give the ADs an update on the Transformation Committee’s work.
He said he also shared with the ADs his skepticism for the effectiveness of an FBS breakaway from the NCAA. He said he understands the desire for change.
“And given the distinctions around football, there are those who view that as a relevant point of change,” Sankey said. “But then the why, the outcomes, those have to be much further developed.”

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union lawmakers on Thursday said that Hungary’s nationalist government is deliberately trying to undermine the bloc’s democratic values and they deplored the failure of the 26 other EU countries to take action that would bring the country back into line.
In a resolution that passed in a 433-123 vote, with 28 abstentions, the parliamentarians raised concerns about Hungary’s constitutional and electoral systems, judicial independence, possible corruption, public procurement irregularities, LGBTQ+ rights, as well as media, academic and religious freedoms.
The vote is the latest in a series of showdowns between the EU’s institutions and Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government in Budapest. The European Commission is expected to announce on Sunday that it is prepared to suspend payments of some EU money to Hungary.
The French Greens parliamentarian who chaperoned the resolution through the assembly, Gwendoline Delbos-Corfield, said that “for the first time, an EU institution is stating the sad truth, that Hungary is no longer a democracy.”
In the text, the lawmakers condemned “the deliberate and systematic efforts of the Hungarian Government to undermine the founding values of the Union.”
The vote is highly symbolic in that it sets Hungary apart from other EU countries in its alleged failure to uphold values enshrined in the EU treaty like “respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.”
But the vote, which came during a plenary session in Strasbourg, France, doesn’t impose any penalty on Orban’s government, nor does it bind other EU countries into taking any particular action.
In their resolution, the lawmakers said that the Hungarian government — which Orban characterizes as an “illiberal democracy” — has become “a hybrid regime of electoral autocracy.” In part, they blame EU member countries for this, for turning a blind eye to possible abuses.
Delbos-Corfield said that Orban and the ruling Fidesz party “have put their time and effort into tearing apart the fabric of democracy and ripping up the rule of law instead of supporting their citizens.”
“The costs for Hungarian citizens are clear: They are having their rights removed and opportunities undermined, all while their state is stripped apart by autocrats and oligarchs,” she said in a statement.
Lawmakers opposing a report that contains the resolution said that it contains “subjective opinions and politically biased statements, and reflects vague concerns, value judgements and double standards.”
Hungary has long been on a collision course with its European partners. It has routinely blocked joint statements, decisions and events. These range from high-level NATO meetings with Ukraine to an EU vote on corporate tax and a common EU position on an Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire.
The government in Budapest has opposed some EU sanctions against Russia, notably a freeze on the assets of Russia’s Orthodox Church patriarch, as well as energy-related measures against Moscow.
Members of the EU’s executive branch, the European Commission, are holding a meeting in Brussels on Sunday, when they are expected to announce a cut in part of Hungary’s EU funding unless it takes action to end its democratic backsliding.
In a document shared at the commission on July 20, Budget Commissioner Johannes Hahn said that suspending around 70% of the funding in some EU programs, notably related to public contract procurement, “can be considered proportionate.” It’s unclear how much money that would involve.
A full suspension of EU funds is unlikely. Any action must be approved by the member countries, and this requires a “qualified majority,” which amounts to 55% of the 27 members representing at least 65% of the total EU population.
Some lawmakers have expressed concern that if the far right wins elections in Italy on Sept. 25 it could be difficult to establish that majority.

New Delhi [India], September 15 (ANI): The economic offences wing (EOW) of Delhi Police on Thursday recovered a bike from Prashant, manager of actor Jacqueline Fernandez.
According to officials, the bike (Ducati), which cost around Rs 8 lakh, was given to Prashant by Sukesh Chandrasekhar with the proceeds of fraud.

"EOW recovered a Ducati bike from Jacqueline Fernandez's manager Prashant. This bike was given to Prashant by Sukesh Chandrasekhar with the money of fraud. In February 2021, Sukesh gave this bike to Jacqueline's manager," said the officials.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar has been accused of running an extortion racket worth Rs 200 crore when he was lodged in Rohini jail, from Aditi Singh, the wife of jailed former Ranbaxy owner Shivinder Singh, posing as officials from the union law ministry and the PMO, on the pretext of getting her husband out on bail.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar, a native of Bengaluru in Karnataka, is currently lodged in a Delhi jail and faces over 10 criminal cases registered against him.
According to the sources, Delhi Police had prepared a questionnaire of 100 odd questions that actor Jacqueline Fernandez was asked to answer in the alleged Rs 200 crore scam on Wednesday.
Jacqueline was in Delhi after she was summoned by the Delhi Police for the third time on Wednesday. Previously, she has been summoned twice but she did not turn up on both dates - August 29 and September 12.
Jacqueline arrived at the Economic Offences Wing office at Mandir Marg yesterday around 11 am along with a team of her lawyers. She was then given a long questionnaire including at least 100 questions that the officers said mostly pertained to her relationship with Sukesh Chandrashekhar and the gifts she received from him that are said to have been bought using the proceeds of crime.
EOW had also summoned Pinky Irani to join the investigation. She is said to have helped Sukesh to contact Jacqueline Fernandez. She was known to both of them. Pinky and Jacqueline might be confronted during questioning to get more clarity in the case, sources said.
Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also recorded statements of Nora Fatehi on September 13 and October 14, 2021, where she had acknowledged having received gifts from the alleged conman and his actor wife Leena.
ED had registered a case of money laundering in the alleged scam over the FIR registered by the Delhi Police.
ED had earlier stated that Fernandez's statements were recorded on August 30 and October 20, 2021, where she admitted to having received gifts from Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
ED also said that Fernandez had used proceeds of crime and valuable gifts bought using it for herself and her family members in India as well as abroad and that this amounts to an offence of money laundering under section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002.
Earlier, Pinky Irani, who had apparently introduced Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi to conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, appeared before the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police in connection with the Rs 200 crore money laundering case.
Irani, who is believed to be a close aide of Sukesh, appeared before EOW officials for the second day in a row after she was questioned for around 8 hours on Wednesday. Notably, actor Jacqueline Fernandez also joined the questioning by the EOW of Delhi Police in the alleged 200 crore scam on Wednesday.
According to sources, Jacqueline and Pinki Irani engaged in a war of words during the Delhi Police interrogation on Wednesday.
The EOW sources said, while the two were being interrogated face to face, they kept arguing and accusing each other of lying for around two hours.
Pinki accused Jacqueline of accepting gifts from Sukesh, despite knowing that he is behind bars on charges of cheating people of Rs 200 crores. On the other hand, Jacqueline accused Pinki of lying. She said she had no idea about Sukesh's background. Both of them reportedly also abused each other, after which police had to intervene. (ANI)

Youth football player dies unexpectedly after fulfilling dream of playing under the lights
FRENCH LICK, In. (WAVE/Gray News) – A 10-year-old football player died unexpectedly Tuesday morning after falling ill in the days prior.
Treven Ball played for a youth football team in Indiana. His family said he loved his friends, family and football.
“It was just four days ago he was running up and down the bleachers,” family friend Jessica Alexander told WAVE. “It doesn’t feel like it’s ever going to be the same without him on this field.”
Treven played under the lights for the first time last week.
“This was such a big part of his life – this field,” Treven’s aunt, Megan Murphy, said as his family returned to the place that brought him so much joy.
On that same field, a heartbroken community of teachers, friends and teammates gathered for a vigil Tuesday night to make sure he wasn’t forgotten.
“We knew what kind of kid he was,” Murphy said. “But to just come out here and see all the lives that he has affected. That truly meant something to us.”
“The last thing he did before he passed was try to tell his mom how much he loved her,” Alexander said.
The family did not disclose Treven’s cause of death.

Predicting where seven top uncommitted football recruits will land
Of the 46 uncommitted college football recruits ranked in the ESPN 300 from the 2023 class, 21 are from Florida or Texas. Those two states are typically stocked full of high-end recruits year in and year out. This year, 67 ESPN 300 recruits are from Florida and 43 are from Texas.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Bobby Petrino knows what's coming. He has been called many things over the years, but he is not naive. The job he's done in resurrecting a moribund Missouri State program and turning the Bears into FCS title contenders speaks for itself. But this week, Petrino's past, and not his present, will be the focus when his team, ranked No. 5 in the latest FCS poll, makes the 120-mile trip to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

"I said at the end of the season, don't trade [Rudy Gobert]. Let's figure this out, let's do. And that didn't happen. For him to say that after six months around the team, I disagree. But you know, at the end of the day, that's his decision."

LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 15, 2022--
Equillium, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQ), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapeutics to treat severe autoimmune and inflammatory disorders with high unmet medical need, today announced that an abstract was accepted for presentation at ACR Convergence, the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology. The meeting, the world’s premier virtual rheumatology experience, will take place online November 10 – 14, 2022 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Title: Urine ALCAM is a Strong Predictor of Lupus Nephritis
First Author: Dalena Chu, Associate Scientist, Equillium, Inc.
Session Title: SLE – Diagnosis, Manifestations, and Outcomes Poster II: Manifestations
Session Type: Virtual Poster
Date and Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET, Sunday, November 13, 2022
Abstract Number: 1478
The abstract highlights that levels of urinary soluble ALCAM (sALCAM) is a potential biomarker of disease severity in lupus nephritis that could be indicative of a patient’s response to treatment. Analyses are in progress to evaluate sALCAM in combination with other measures of disease severity to predict longer term disease outcomes.
About Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) / Lupus Nephritis (LN)
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs. It can affect the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. Lupus nephritis is a serious complication of SLE, occurring in approximately 30% – 60% of individuals with SLE. In LN, the body’s own immune system attacks the kidneys, causing inflammation and significantly reducing kidney function over time.
About Itolizumab
Itolizumab is a clinical-stage, first-in-class anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody that selectively targets the CD6-ALCAM pathway. This pathway plays a central role in modulating the activity and trafficking of T cells that drive a number of immuno-inflammatory diseases. Equillium acquired rights to itolizumab through an exclusive partnership with Biocon Limited.

Mom Stops Shaving Beard After 30 Years, Documents Growth Journey on TikTok
Sep. 15 2022, Published 8:30 a.m. ET
A mom who was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome has been shaving her face for nearly 30 years, but has now decided to grow her beard and documented her decision to do so in a series of now viral TikToks.
According to the PCOS Awareness Association, the hormonal disorder often contributes to "unwanted facial hair" in those affected by the condition.
This is called hirsutism, which is defined as: "the excessive growth of facial or body hair on women. Hirsutism and unwanted PCOS facial hair are very common with polycystic ovary syndrome. Hirsutism can be seen as coarse, dark hair that may appear on the face, chest, abdomen, back, upper arms, or upper legs. Hirsutism is a symptom of medical disorders associated with the hormones called androgens."
The association went on to classify the areas of the body that are the most affected by hirsutism, which includes the inner thighs, lower back, lower abdomen, upper lip, breasts, and beard area.
The Mom and TikToker, Anissa Bennett, who posts under the handle @bearded.newfie.peach has published a series of videos of her beard growing out, like this one that's received over 20k views.
In many of Anissa's videos, she adds the #PCOS hashtag as a means of spreading awareness to the syndrome. She was diagnosed with PCOS when she was 12 years old and was experiencing irregular meunstral cycles.
Anissa says that she was relentlessly bullied while in school as a result of sporting facial hair and a mustache that she said was thicker than her father's at the time. Other children would call her monkey and an ape, and for years she said that she opted to bleach her mustache.
However, when she began working full-time at 22-years-old, Anissa said that she opted instead to shave it off because she thought it was more socially acceptable to do so.
What ultimately helped her to change her mind was seeing other women online rocking their beards. In her first video she uploaded to her TikTok account documenting her beard growth she said, "Good morning I wanted to introduce myself I'm a 51-year-old cisgender female...I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and I'm on a journey to let my beard grow."
In "Day 21" video she uploaded documenting her beard growth, Anissa stated that her original intention was to grow her beard out until the end of September, but that she would "possibly be keeping it after" as well.
In all of her clips, she shows several angles of her beard online to other viewers, showing the sides and neck area of her face. Several TikTok users who saw Anissa's clips applauded her for highlighting her condition online.
"Good for you, social stigma is powerful but you got more power than that baby. Your perfect just as you are."
Others expressed their shock that she was 51 years old.
"Wow Hun, I never would have guessed 51! Maybe 30's!!"
"I never would have guessed that you’re 51."
And there were other women who expressed that her clips helped them consider whether or not they have PCOS: "(1/2) You are awesome...Its great that you are trying to teach others about pcos. I use to get 2-3 hairs on my chin, but now I get maybe 20 or more...Should I possibly speak to my Dr about this? Would it possibly be a result of developing pcos? or could it be from something else? I have to read up.
According to The Mayo Clinic hirsutism isn't just a result of PCOS, but can be mostly attributed to women having high levels of testosterone.

General News of Thursday, 15 September 2022
Source: www.ghanaweb.com
Following recent information that the notorious galamsey ‘kingpin’, Aisha Huang, had a sticker of the Office of the President on her car, the Director of Operations at the Office of the Vice President, Hajj Sumaila Ibrahim, has shot down any such possibility.
According to him, the office has no such stickers and, as such, anyone found using them is an impersonator.
He was reacting to the new revelation in an interview with dailyguidenetwork.com.
“I am saying on authority that the Presidency does not have an official car sticker and those who have such images are impersonators and should be apprehended by the police,” he stated.
He further explained that at no point has the Office of the Presidency issued such stickers, and so if there is word out there that Aisha Huang allegedly once joined a car with a presidential sticker on it, then it buttresses his point.
“It confirms my point that it has no official backing and creations of those having them on their vehicles,” the report quoted him.
It is not the first time people have been seen or arrested by the police with stickers on their cars that read, "Office of the President."
GhanaWeb on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, reported that a foreign national identified as Ghanadour Hishan-Hassaan, had been detained by the police at Accra Airport for driving a vehicle with an unauthorized sticker of the Office of the President on it.
The man was also stopped for using a siren on his vehicle when he did not have authorization.
His vehicle was eventually impounded after the police identified that the expatriate was driving with a sticker of the Office of the President without authorization.
Background
Ms. Huang, in 2017, was charged with undertaking small-scale mining operations contrary to Section 99 (1) of the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703).
She was also charged with providing mine support services without valid registration with the Minerals Commission, contrary to Section 59 and 99 (2) of the Minerals and Mining Act; and also charged with illegal employment of foreign nationals (in breach of section 24 of the Immigration Act and regulation 18 of the Immigration Regulations).
Her case was, however, discontinued and she was deported. Her deportation meant the state discontinued the trial against her.
She, however, found her way back into the country, leading to her recent arrest. A court last week remanded Aisha Huang and three other Chinese nationals into custody to reappear on charges of illegal gold mining and trading.
Her recent arrest is on the same issue of illegal mining.

Willie-LeBreton's expertise in higher education, social inequality and community building aligns with the college's key priorities
NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Smith College Board of Trustees today announced that Sarah Willie-LeBreton has been named the 12th president of Smith College. Willie-LeBreton currently serves as provost and dean of the faculty at Swarthmore College, where she has taught since 1997. She will take office at Smith on July 1, 2023.
Making the announcement, Alison Overseth, chair of Smith's board of trustees, commented, "In Sarah, we have found the extraordinary leader that the community intended as we began the search process. She has the vision, energy and strategic leadership experience necessary to move Smith toward our highest aspirations and goals for the future. Throughout the course of her career, she has demonstrated the courage to engage in challenging conversations and make difficult decisions while simultaneously exuding the joy, warmth, and curiosity that is required to lead an institution with empathy and integrity."
Of her appointment, Willie-LeBreton said, "I am thrilled to be joining the Smith College community. The commitment of extraordinary educators on the faculty and staff, passionate and curious students, devoted alums and generous trustees and friends offer models of scholarship, engagement, leadership and philanthropy that inspire me." She continued, "The promise of education is not just the creation of knowledge, but the model of how to share it for our mutual liberation and the collective good. We tend to be more aware of injustice when it crashes in upon our lives, more aware of misogyny, racism and other forms of oppression when they circumscribe our possibilities, and more aware of the fragility of democracy when its admittedly young promise brought to us through the liberation struggles of its subdominant people is so clearly threatened. But so, too, are we more aware of knowledge when we participate in its co-creation, more appreciative of empathy when we receive it, more devoted to the liberal arts when we experience the power of mutually-informing disciplines."
She concluded, "I am honored to have the faith and support of Smith's Board of Trustees, grateful for my conversations with President McCartney, and deeply appreciative of the search committee for challenging me with questions of significance and for answering my queries with candor and imagination on behalf of the Smith community."
Willie-LeBreton will join Smith at a time of great momentum, when women's education has become increasingly essential for solving the problems of tomorrow. In October 2021, the college announced that it was increasing access to education by eliminating loans from its financial aid packages; in May 2022, Smith began converting its heating system to geothermal energy to fulfill its commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030. Campus improvements—such as the recently re-imagined Neilson Library, designed by Maya Lin, and classrooms created to support innovative pedagogies—enable students and faculty in their intellectual pursuits. Applications to the selective women's college are at an all-time high, up 63% since 2014.
"The search committee was extraordinarily impressed by Sarah—because of her academic experience as well as her personal priorities," said Susan Molineaux '75, vice-chair of Smith's board of trustees and chair of the search committee. "Community is integral to Smith's identity, and it was clear that building community is one of Sarah's highest priorities and greatest strengths. She listens thoughtfully and deeply, seeks to build relationships and is practiced in building consensus."
A sociologist who studies social inequality and race and ethnicity, Willie-LeBreton is known for her commitment to the liberal arts, strengthening community and energizing the work of equity and inclusion. At Swarthmore, she has chaired the college's Diversity Task Force and the President's Task Force on Sexual Misconduct. As provost, she championed tenure lines in environmental studies as well as in peace and conflict studies, and she led colleagues on the faculty and the administration to increase tenure-track lines and leadership positions to enhance curricular and co-curricular offerings. "As Swarthmore's provost and dean of the faculty, Sarah has led with a spirit of inclusivity and compassion, excellent judgment, a deep respect for shared governance, enthusiastic support for research and teaching, and good humor," said
Swarthmore College President Valerie Smith. "She is certain to bring these qualities and more to her role as president of Smith College. Her colleagues and many friends at Swarthmore will miss Sarah, but we wish her all the best on her new adventure."
Willie-LeBreton is the author of Acting Black: College, Identity, and the Performance of Race and edited and contributed to Transforming the Academy: Faculty Perspectives on Diversity and Pedagogy.
In addition to holding appointments at Swarthmore, Willie-LeBreton has been a member of the faculty at Colby and Bard colleges, as well as at Pendle Hill Quaker center. She received a bachelor's degree in sociology from Haverford College and master's and doctoral degrees in sociology from Northwestern University.
Willie-LeBreton succeeds Kathleen McCartney, who became president of Smith in 2013 and announced last spring that she would conclude her term at the end of June 2023.
Founded in 1871, Smith College opened in 1875 with 14 students. Today, it is one of the largest women's liberal arts colleges in the United States, educating women of promise for lives of distinction and purpose. Smith enrolls more than 2,900 students from nearly every state and more than 75 other countries to cultivate leaders able to address the complex, urgent problems of today. As a global community of scholars, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, activists and humanitarians, Smith is pushing the world forward. More information at smith.edu .

Four star review for Northern Ballet's Made in Leeds: Three Short Ballets
Stage review: Made in Leeds: Three Short BalletsLeeds PlayhouseBy Yvette Huddleston 4/5
Northern Ballet’s stunning three short ballets, all created in Leeds, received their world premiere in the city of their birth this week and what a wonderful trio of works they are.
They also serve as an extremely impressive first production for the company’s new artistic director Federico Bonelli who was appointed in May. It brings together the works of three exciting emerging choreographers – Mthuthuzeli November, Stina Quagebeur and Dickson Mbi – in a diverse and inspiring programme. Each work explores aspects of the human condition in a powerful and innovative way.
The first piece to be presented on the Quarry Theatre’s stage at Leeds Playhouse was award-winning South African-born November’s Wailers. He describes it as a work that ‘gives thanks to life – its struggles, beauty and its people’. Set against the backdrop of a wall possibly of remembrance but that could also be a slab of scorched earth, it speaks so eloquently about human resilience in the face of loss or hardship. The music melds European and African influences beautifully and the movement creates shapes of unity and harmony into an ultimately uplifting whole.
Most Popular
Belgian-born Quagebeur’s Nostalgia explores how nostalgic memories can provide comfort in times of difficulty, anxiety or isolation. Seen through the lens of one couple – a man and a woman whose relationship appears to be at a crossroads of some kind – the sense of longing, poignancy and past joy are powerfully evoked, as is the passage of time and the inevitable changes in a relationship that come with it. The couple’s mirror image join them on stage as various ‘sliding doors’ style iterations are played out. Happiness is fleeting seems to be the message, we should hold on to it while we can. It is a bittersweet, very moving piece.
Finally award-winning Hip-Hop dance artist Mbi’s Ma Vie Live is a reimagining for the stage of his short dance film, originally commissioned by Northern Ballet, inspired by the life of Giacomo Casanova. It focusses on Casanova’s insatiable thirst for love, his complex relationship with the church and his eventual downfall. It is a visceral, sensual piece with a driving musical score and muscular repetitive movement that builds to a climax while also introducing a sinister element with hooded figures who appear to be the physical manifestation of Casanova’s many demons.
What marks each ballet out is the simplicity of the setting – there was very little on stage apart from the dancers. That is the beauty of such accomplished and resonant storytelling: you don’t need extravagant sets and innumerable props in order to make a lasting impression. It is the story that counts – and these three were delivered with energy, intelligence, vigour and nuance by an outstanding company of dancers. The performances, choreography, direction, musical composition and lighting design all come together to make something very special indeed. The standing ovation at the end was entirely deserved.
At Leeds Playhouse until September 17, Linbury Studio Theatre, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, November 1-3. Northernballet.com

Swelling in the fingers is a condition that can occur at any age and for various reasons, from physiological to hormonal ones, passing through real pathological causes on which it is better to investigate as soon as possible with a specialist
“Sausage” fingers and swollen and often numb hands, which make any movement difficult. It can happen, at times, to wake up in these conditions or have an abnormal swelling throughout the day. For example, the swollen fingers of the new King of the United Kingdom attracted the attention of the world. But why do the fingers swell? What are the causes?
In most cases it can be “simple” water retention, but it is better to analyze thoroughly if the phenomenon is repeated often and continuously over time. The reason is that swollen fingers and hands could also represent a symptom of a clinical picture to keep under observation.
It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, to find their hands a little swollen. It can happen, for example, if it is very hot. He is the best known edemaor dropsy, that is theabnormal accumulation of fluids in interstitial spacesin those spaces, that is, “free” that are found between the cells outside the vessels.
Here are 10 possible causes of swollen fingers:
Water retention
As we said, water retention is the number one cause of swelling in general, due, for the vast majority of the time, to an excess of sale in food style. It happens, in these cases, that swelling occurs especially in the early morning, upon waking, especially if too many salty or leavened foods, salami and cheeses have been consumed the night before.
Also read: Not just high blood pressure, the negative effects of eating too much salt on your body are worse than you imagine
Carpal tunnel
It is a disorder that occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the arm that becomes inflamed and causes not only swelling, also numbness and tingling, as well as loss of sensation and strength in the hand.

Wounds
A the slog or a real bill can cause a gradual swelling of the affected area. In these cases, it is better to use ice to reduce inflammation, but if instead you also experience intense pain, perhaps accompanied by fever, it is better to contact your doctor for a thorough diagnosis and possibly perform an X-ray.
Medicines
Both those to buy with a prescription, and those over the counter, can unfortunately cause swelling in the fingers and hands. The drugs that have the most similar side effects are:
- those for diabetes
- those for hormone therapies based on estrogen or testosterone.
- those for arterial hypertension
- those over the counter based on ibuprofen
- steroid ones
Infections
Finger swelling can also occur in the presence of:
- patereccio caused by infections of bacterial, fungal and viral origin (herpetic patereccio or finger)
- paronichia
- inadequately treated ingrown nails which can lead to small infections resulting in swelling
Rheumatic diseases
Come:
To which are added all the rheumatic diseases that affect the small joints of the hands and which have a strong inflammatory component, can cause the upper extremities to swell. It is essential to go immediately to a rheumatologist and carry out the required examinations to assess internal damage.
Pregnancy
Feet and hands swollen are a great classic during pregnancy. But, in the case of sudden swelling in the second half of pregnancy, you could be faced with preeclampsia with an increase in the level of proteins and pressure and water retention in different parts of the body, including hands and fingers, which causes swelling. .

THREE MEN LOOKING to revive Down football’s fortunes were key pillars of the county’s attack when they reached the All-Ireland final in 2010.
Conor Laverty has assumed the role of senior boss, joined by coach Marty Clarke, while Benny Coulter is the new minor manager.
Laverty’s coaching ambitions have been clear for some time. He works as football development officer in Trinity College, coached Monaghan footballers under Seamus ‘Banty’ McEneaney in 2020 and guided the Down U20s to an Ulster title in 2021.
An All-Ireland winner with Kilcoo in February, it’s hoped that Laverty’s appointment could entice some of his club mates to commit to the county set-up.
Only two Kilcoo players, Niall Kane and Ryan McEvoy, featured for Down in the Ulster championship. Eugene Branagan’s comments when he stated he had “no ambition to play for Down” and that the squad lacked a “winning mentality” did little to ease apparent tensions between Kilcoo and other clubs in the county.
There were discipline issues during the 2022 campaign under James McCartan while the departures of five players decimated the squad prior to the Tailteann Cup.
Down will begin 2023 in Division 3, having fallen a long way off the heights of 2010.
The task facing Laverty is a huge one.
“There’s a lot of voices out there, there’s a lot of boys waiting in the dark for you to fail,” Steven Poacher tells The42.
“It’s a tough environment. And for some reason that I thought no way, and I can’t put a finger on it – maybe it’s the same in every county I don’t know – but in Down there seems to be an awful dark cloud over everything.
“No one really likes to see anyone doing well, it’s hard to put your finger on it,” adds the former Carlow and Roscommon coach, who was part of the Down minor set-up in 2020.
Will Laverty’s appointment see more Kilcoo stars take the opportunity to represent their county?
“There’s an enormous amount of talent out there in Down. Not just within Kilcoo. Obviously having a the best players from the best clubs is going to help the county and hopefully that will be the case this year.
“He’ll pick the best players to suit the system he wants to play. That’s the reality. I’m sure it probably will make things a lot easier for for lads to commit from the club.”
Poacher feels the appointment of Laverty must be part of a long-term strategy to develop football within the county.
For instance bringing a player athletic performance coach on board would be a step in the right direction. And he says the high rate of turnover in players needs to stop.
“We are at the present time probably in a little bit in transition. We just need a group of players that are willing to commit to it in for a good five, six years. Because we’ve used 90 players in the last four or five years. Like, 90 players!
“That’s a lot of footballers. There’s no real continuity there, there’s no real, togetherness. How can you create togetherness in a group when you’ve used 90 players?
“It’s time for everyone in Down to put their personalities, grievances and club rivalries to one side and pull together for the greater cause. Because that’s what it’s going to take.
“Division 3 is a tough division. Hopefully we can get a bit of momentum going and get people back really supporting and enjoying days again.”
For Laverty, stepping up to his first inter-county management job will bring its own pressures.
“Obviously Conor’s biggest challenge probably is going to be managing an inter-county team (for the first time),” says Poacher. “It’s a massive step.
“I’ve been involved myself over the last five or six years I can remember speaking to Anthony Cunningham last year in Roscommon where he talked about how you’re nearly managing your backroom team just as much as you’re managing the playing squad.
“Conor’s strengths obviously lie in coaching so he’ll want to take a very hands on approach in the coaching. Management is a huge jump and it’s a massive, massive challenge for him. It is a different world out there in inter-county level.
“The fact he’s never had experience of managing at inter-county level is obviously something that’s going to pose a huge challenge for him. But look, he’s got good people around him.”
One such man is Marty Clarke, who is on board with Down as coach. The former AFL star currently assists Poacher in the Mayobridge management team.
“I think what Marty has understood when he got involved in coaching three or four years ago, he probably realised that things came to him so easy as a player, it just does not come as easy to the coach,” says Poacher.

And the appointment of Benny Coulter over the U17 side is another progressive move. The 2010 All-Star is also involved with Poacher’s school team in St Joseph’s Newry, having served his time with the Down development squads in recent years.
“Benny has out an enormous amount of time into the development squads. He really deserves the minor manager job. He has done an awful lot of work at ground level that people wouldn’t see.
“He’s a huge Down man and has put a lot of time and his energy into Down over the past and has played for Down for him for a long period of time.
“He’s obviously a legend in the county as well and a real real nice guy. I just know from speaking to the lads here in school that have played under him in the development squads and stuff they speak very highly of him. How organised he is and how switched on he is.
“There is a serious talent pool in Down at underage level. I see it through the schools football. There is a really, really strong cohort of young lads coming through. Benny has been with this group for two or three years.
“I know from speaking him he speaks very highly of this group and he really enjoys working with them. So it’s going to be interesting times ahead. So hopefully we can really push on now and see some longevity in our county.”
As part of his bid to educate coaches in the county, Poacher is organising a coaching clinic to help raise funds for St Joseph’s Newry, where Bernard Jackman, Enda McGinley and Niall Morgan will be hosting workshops.
“Hunger for coach education, in the north in particular, has always been very strong, but we now see a huge volume of coaches coming from from southern counties,” he says.
“Last year we had 28 of the 32 counties represented which was absolutely phenomenal.
“The thirst and hunger for knowledge is definitely out there. It’s just a matter of people willing to share those experiences.”

The details for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II have been revealed as the nation prepares for a final farewell.
The UK will say goodbye to the monarch, who has reigned for 70 years, on Monday with proceedings to start at 8am as the doors of Westminster Abbey will open.
Those attending the event will be representatives from the home nations and heads of state from overseas including American President Joe Biden who has previously confirmed that he will be attending.
People at the ceremony will gather at the Royal Hospital Chelsea and “travel under collective arrangements” to the Abbey, the Earl Marshal said. Other figures from the Commonwealth will also be in attendance.
King Charles led his family behind the Queen's coffin yesterday with his sons Prince William and Harry behind him. At 10:44am on Monday the King will be joined by his sons again from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey as well the Duke of York, Earl of Wessex and Peter Phillips.
The Queen’s coffin will be carried during the procession on a 123-year-old gun carriage towed by 98 Royal Navy sailors in a tradition dating back to the funeral of Queen Victoria.
The Procession will be led by 200 musicians made up of the Pipes & Drums of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force.
It is is due to arrive at Westminster Abbey at 10.52am where the coffin will be lifted from the gun carriage and carried into the Abbey for the state funeral service that will start at 11am.
Prime Minister Liz Truss will make a reading at the ceremony amongst others who will read lessons and conduct prayers. The sermon itself will be given by the Archbishop of Canterbury who will also give the commendation.
OK!'s commemorative special edition
This 100 page tribute looks back at the life of our most beloved monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, marking key events during her remarkable 70-year reign, as well as her childhood as a young princess, her enduring love for Prince Philip and her family, and the lasting legacy she leaves our nation.
This edition is available to buy in stores now or it can be purchased online here.
At around 11.55am the Last Post will sound, followed by two minutes of silence to be observed in the Abbey and throughout the UK, and then a national anthem that will end by 12 noon.
The bearer party will then lift the coffin again and take it to the State Gun Carriage positioned outside the West Gate.
The coffin will be followed by the King and the Queen Consort, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and members of the royal family who will walk in the procession to Wellington Arch where it will then be returned to the gun carriage and taken to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park.
The route will be lined by the Armed Forces from Westminster Abbey to the top of Constitution Hill at the Commonwealth Memorial Gates.
The Procession is formed of seven groups, each supported by a service band. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will lead, immediately followed by representatives of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, NHS, along with detachments from the Armed Forces of the Commonwealth.
At Wellington Arch the royal family will watch as the Queen’s coffin is transferred to the new state hearse, before it begins its journey to Windsor Castle.
The Earl Marshal said that at 3.06pm, the state hearse will approach Shaw Farm Gate on Albert Road, Windsor, and join the procession which will be in position.
At approximately 3.40 pm the King and other members of the royal family who are walking in the procession reunite and members of the Queen’s, the King’s and the Prince of Wales’ households will be positioned at the rear of the coffin.
The Queen Consort, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Sussex and the Countess of Wessex will again follow by car.
At 3:43pm the bearer party will lift the coffin from the state hearse, from there it will be carried in procession up the West Steps, where the committal service will commence at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, at 4pm.
Her Majesty will be buried with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh inside King George VI’s chapel, in Windsor Castle, during a private service at 7.30pm on Monday.

Bain & Company's findings focus on how feelings of inclusion are different for each group and how that can be applied to the diverse US Latino population
BOSTON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Latino population is one of the fastest growing demographics in the US participating in the labor market at higher-than-average rates. They accounted for approximately 80% of workforce growth from 2010 to 2017, and they are expected to represent nearly one in three working-age Americans by 2050. Bain & Company research has found a culture of belonging and feeling included at work key to employee retention and success, but only approximately 25% of Latinos say they feel fully included at their workplaces.
Feelings of inclusion drive Latino workers employment choices from evaluation of a prospective employer, where 70% indicate this is a highly important factor to retention at their current job. Latino workers who do not feel particularly included are approximately two times more likely to quit than those who feel fully included, and nearly 45% of Latino workers who don't feel completely included are actively seeking new jobs (compared with approximately 25% of those who do feel fully included), according to Bain's Inclusive Organization Survey.
Prioritizing inclusion for all including Latino employees is crucial to the success of companies throughout the workforce, especially as they look to grow in the years to come. Determining how to successfully execute inclusion for a population is a harder problem to solve. Additionally, the Latino population is racially diverse, including people from over two dozen countries, many of whom speak different languages and have different experiences based on when their family came to the US and how long they've been here.
"Bain & Company's research found with such a diverse population, it is important to bring an intersectional lens that captures a multiplicity of identities (such as geography, gender, race or ethnicity, and seniority within the organization)," said Naiara De Leon, a Dallas-based partner and member of the firm's Latinx at Bain (LATBA) affinity group. "This allows companies to identify with the greatest precision what enablers will most likely increase inclusion for specific populations."
For example, by breaking down the Latino population with a multiplicity of identities, Latina women prefer behavioral enablers (grounded in everyday behaviors) and Latino men are more likely to be motivated by systemic enablers of inclusion (involving organizational processes and systems).
"I find team-building exercises to be a critical enabler of inclusion," said Saber Sherrard, a Dallas-based partner and global lead of LATBA. "More specifically, I always look forward to case team events as ways to learn people's stories. These discussions can foster authenticity and inclusivity, creating both a more engaging team environment and a higher-performing team."
With the Latino workforce rapidly growing, it is beneficial for companies to reflect on what enablers are being used to encourage feelings of inclusion and to make changes. Additionally, Latino leaders have an opportunity and a responsibility to push organizations to do the hard work of discovering what behaviors and systems will create more inclusion, and to ensure they are executed.

One of the British Royal Guards guards guarding the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II fell during the monarch’s wake, this Wednesday (14/9). The transmission was interrupted while the man was rescued.
Video of the moment shows that he was part of a group with four other members of the Kingsguard and was positioned further forward. He starts to bend over and the man behind him tries to catch him, to no avail.
Two other police officers approach to help him and the transmission camera is cut to an external environment.
Watch the video of the moment:

The expectation is that approximately 750 thousand admirers of the queen will pass through the place, during the five days in which the body will be veiled.
People crowding in wait will be queued along the south bank of the River Thames. They receive a numbered wristband so they can get out of line and use the restroom, or pick up supplies without losing their seats.
Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin arrived in London on Tuesday night (13/9), after making a two-day procession through Scotland. Prime Minister Liz Truss was there to receive the team responsible for displacing the body. The coffin was transferred to a Land Rover car designed exclusively for the occasion.
The procession passed through the main tourist attractions in London and thousands of English people took to the streets to applaud Queen Elizabeth. The coffin remains at the Palace of Westminster, where it will be exposed to the public until Monday (19/9), when the burial takes place.

Mindtech Global, developer of the world's leading platform for the creation of synthetic data for training AI, has today revealed details on how machine learning engineers can radically speed up the time it takes to train their AI vision systems to see and understand the world around them.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220915005180/en/

Synthetic images generated on a platform like Mindtech's Chameleon are produced ready-annotated. If working solely with real-world images, a machine learning engineer can spend up to 80% of their time making sure they are labelled correctly so their AI does not get confused. Automating this task reduces their workload substantially-and alleviates several other issues too, according to Chris Longstaff, VP Product Management, Mindtech Global.
"We encourage visual AI developers to strive to vastly reduce the number of real-world training images they use - by utilising many more synthetic, computer-generated images to train their machine learning networks.
"The reason? In a synthetic imaging platform like Mindtech's Chameleon, we've created the 3D virtual wold, we know exactly what objects are in it, and we know where they are in three dimensions - so the image can be annotated automatically and in an instant. On top of that, the synthetic images are, of course, privacy compliant, too."
You can read part four of Mindtech's guide on synthetic data, providing practical tips for data engineers and real-world use cases for data training, here: https://medium.com/mindtechglobal/accelerating-time-to-market-how-synthetic-data-can-alleviate-the-waiting-time-for-annotated-data-8e3474ab530d

Mindtech Global is the developer of the world's leading end-to-end 'synthetic' data creation platform for the training of AI vision systems. The company's Chameleon platform is a step change in the way AI vision systems are trained, helping computers understand and predict human interactions in applications ranging across retail, smart home, healthcare and smart city.
Mindtech is headquartered in the UK, with operations across the US and Far East and is funded by investors including Mercia, Deeptech Labs, In-Q-Tel and Appen.

The NFL again delivered stellar ratings in Week 1 with 20 million viewers tuning into Monday Night Football alone on cable channel ESPN, and more than 121 million overall across the first 16 games, the league crowed.
And then there is tonight.
Look for viewership for Thursday Night Football, despite featuring marquee quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Justin Herbert of the Chargers, to fall off a cliff. That’s because the NFL’s great experiment with moving an entire game package to streaming launches Thursday night on Amazon Prime (Prime did show a preseason game; more on that below).
The NFL is well aware the numbers will pale by comparison, but just how much will they shrink? And is the league ready for the inevitable stories on social media of fans griping about not finding the game and why it’s not on a network?
TNF averaged about 16 million viewers per game last year on Fox, and Amazon has told advertisers to expect 12.5 million comparable viewers. Experts scoff at that and expect a number half that, if not lower.
“Last year, they had an exclusive game, I think it was Week 16, Cardinals, Niners. It was rumored to have done 4.8 million,” said Daniel Cohen, Octagon’s executive vice president global media rights consulting. “I think with all the marketing that goes into it, they can get closer to six this year.”
Patrick Crakes, a former Fox Sports executive, projects a lower number. “Kind of hope for them it does 8 million viewers. I think it will do five.”
The rule of thumb among media analysts is that preseason games average 20 percent of a regular-season contest, Cohen said. There is only one data point with Prime, and it’s not promising. The Aug. 25 exhibition tilt between the Cardinals and 49ers had 1 million viewers, but half of those watched on local TV (in the home markets of the competing TNF teams the contests can be aired on traditional TV).
GO DEEPER
What to make of Amazon's 'Thursday Night Football' preseason game ratings
Using 1 million, Cohen said, one would project 5 million viewers for Thursday’s game. But there is no precedent for a preseason game exclusively streamed — again other than in the home markets — so it’s hard to know whether to rely on the 20 percent metric. Based on the streams alone, the viewership figure would come in at 2.5 million.
Amazon has been marketing TNF on Prime for weeks, and the platform has a vast reach with more than 200 million subscribers, according to the company. But even the NFL conceded some of its fans might have a hard time finding the game.
“Our fans are going to have to find it. Their behaviors are going to change,” Jeff Miller, an NFL executive vice president of communications, told reporters on Wednesday. While his words are hardly a news flash in an era where sports content is littered across an array of traditional and streaming platforms, thereby making it harder for fans to find their games, it is nevertheless remarkable to hear it from the NFL, because the league for so long emphasized the reach of network television.
Why the league is doing this is obvious — yes, the $1 billion annual payment from Amazon is critical too. Younger fans are cutting the cord and watching media on the go and on different devices, so the thinking is to meet them on their terms.
“We want to make sure that we are and have always been available to as many fans where they are as frequently and as regularly as possible,” Miller said. “And in this case, it’s an issue, obviously, of people moving to streaming into digital just like many years ago was an issue of moving to a cable platform.”
Miller compared the move to the seminal moment in 1987 when the NFL aired games for the first time on ESPN, a momentous shift at the time from network to cable. Surely in those first few weeks, Miller added, ratings were down, but over the long haul the move proved a resounding success.
Octagon’s Cohen agrees with Miller partly on the comparison, but said there is one crucial difference: ESPN then and now is a destination point for sports fans. Amazon Prime is not.
“The general Amazon Prime subscriber goes on, well, I can speak from experience of late, to buy Huggies,” said Cohen, who has a newborn daughter. “And, ‘Oh, by the way, maybe there’s a new movie on or an NFL game.’ But they’re much less, from a consumer perspective, there’s much less impetus to sign on to Amazon for the NFL. It’s nice to have as part of the ecosystem, whereas with ESPN, the NFL was becoming a need to truly be a worldwide leader in sports broadcasting.”
The TNF Amazon deal is for 11 years, so the league is certainly viewing the change as a long-term proposition. And in the long run, the league may be right, but it is ironic the big day comes after a week of plum ratings on traditional TV.
“Did you see these ESPN figures, for Monday Night Football? They’re bananas. They’re strong,” Crakes said. “And a lot of people were talking, you know, ‘It’s kind of funny streaming was so popular. Everybody wants to do it.’ Now I see it’s everybody’s like, ‘Revenge of linear TV.’ They’re dunking on, you know, streaming.” Linear TV means free- and cable channels.
How will the NFL spin the lower numbers in coming weeks, beyond saying the Amazon deal is a long-term proposition? Cohen expects three talking points: the long-horizon play, getting younger viewers and the innovations Amazon is expected to bring.
From a production standpoint, not too much is expected to change under the steady hand of executive producer Fred Gaudelli, who managed Sunday Night Football on NBC for years. There will be more cameras, an extra skycam, and even a new theme song.
GO DEEPER
'Fans need to develop a different muscle memory': Will NFL viewers click on Amazon's TNF?
Amazon does not want to rock the boat too much and turn off traditional viewers. There will be alternate feeds, one with sports and comedy sensation Dude Perfect. But by and large, other than the platform, the production should look familiar.
Cohen said he is interested in two areas tonight: If there is any technical hiccup, from buffering to outages that would spark social media vitriol; and whether Amazon’s talent can create any viral moments.
Amazon invested heavily not just in game announcers Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit, but in colorful analysts like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Richard Sherman.
“What crazy stuff is Richard Sherman, Ryan Fitzpatrick going to say?” Cohen asked. “What’s going to go viral? And what’s going to be interesting? What’s going to be Amazon’s response to the Manningcast, if you will, where every single Tuesday morning or even Monday night, trending on Twitter is something some guest or (something) Eli or Peyton said, so how can they get that virality going?”

Citigroup's Total Return Prospects Remain Intact
Citigroup's (NYSE:C) stock provides an excellent value opportunity in my opinion. The stock has struggled over the past year due to various systemic issues; however, with a fundamental shift in its business model and its relative valuation metrics at multi-year discounts, I think the stock's total return prospects remain intact.

Citi's second-quarter earnings report revealed tremendous success as the bank beat its earnings per share estimates by 52 cents. Standout metrics during the quarter included its interest income and market-derived revenue surging by 42% and 48%, respectively.
Source: Citigroup
Citigroup's Basel III ratios currently stand at a CET 1 of 12.77% and a total capital ratio of 15.40%, indicating that the bank's risk-weighted asset allocation is near optimal territory.
Divesting its Mexico consumer banking entity
Citigroup recently announced that it plans to offload its Mexican consumer banking division to optimize risk ratios.
According to the firm's chief financial officer, Mark Mason, Citigroup is exploring multiple avenues to divesting its Mexico lending division. He said, "We're going to make sure, we get the best value forward, through a sale or through an alternative exit, an IPO or whatever it takes."
This move is part of Citigroup's restructuring plan, which it initiated in 2021. Citigroup plans to exit more than 13 underperforming consumer banking markets while pivoting into the Asia debt market.
Furthermore, the bank's overall strategy is to turn its services segment into the cornerstone of its business. A pivot into a more services-orientated business model and a more streamlined consumer banking division could benefit Citigroup's shareholders significantly.
Significantly undervalued
Valuing banking stocks is best done by looking at the price-book ratio in my view. The reason it's crucial to analyze a bank's price-book ratio is because most of a bank's assets are quoted and traded; as such, investors' best bet to obtain an objective idea of a bank stock's relative value is by comparing it to the company's tangible book value.
Based on GuruFocus' data, Citigroup's price-book ratio is 0.53, implying that deep value is in store with a 1.89 times discount to fair value.
Furthermore, the banking stock provides a sumptuous dividend yield of 4.03%, which is well covered with operating cash flows of $34.42 billion. Therefore, I think it's fair to claim that Cigigroup stock provides a solid total return profile.
Concluding thoughts
Holistically speaking, Citigroup is in great shape with an appealing total return profile. The bank's recent earnings report conveys its resilience during a challenging macroeconomic period. Additionally, its spin-off of non-essential consumer banking assets could reduce overall risk and free up capital to delve into a lucrative services market.
Lastly, based on key metrics, Citigroup's stock is significantly undervalued and provides an attractive dividend yield that is well covered by robust cash flows.

President Biden is scheduled to attend the keystone event celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month in Washington.
Organized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI), the Annual Awards Gala hosts a who’s who of Latinos in politics, culture and advocacy.
Biden’s attendance at the 45th annual gala is the first by a president since former President Obama delivered an address at the 39th edition in 2016.
“It’s an example of the commitment of our nation’s highest ranking leaders to our community and desire to engage with us directly – to speak to us, to hear from us, to learn about our needs and desires,” said Marco Davis, the CEO of CHCI.
From 1979 to 2016, every sitting president was invited to address the gala, and only former President George H.W. Bush was unable to attend during his time in office.
But in 2017, CHCI broke with tradition and didn’t invite former President Trump after he pardoned Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and announced a plan to wind down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
CHCI’s main function is to train young Hispanics who want to work in government, and its intern classes usually include a number of DACA beneficiaries.
“The president was not invited this year based on his slanderous comments and strongly disagreeable actions for the Latino community in the United States,” then-CHCI Chair Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said at the time.
Trump also did not attend or address the following galas, and the coronavirus pandemic forced CHCI to take the event online in 2020 and 2021.
Biden participated twice as a keynote speaker in the virtual editions, sending video messages as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2020, and as president for the 2021 gala.
“When we were virtual it was definitely a very different experience. I will say that the president did send a video message that we were able to air when we were virtual last fall, so technically he participated … but him being [there] in person is a very different thing,” said Davis.
The gala’s return is a boon for Beltway Hispanics, who sometimes refer to the event as “Latino Prom” or “Brown Prom,” in reference to the White House correspondents’ dinner tongue-in-cheek moniker of “Nerd Prom.”
Although CHCI and its parent institution, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, are nonpartisan, both groups are more closely associated with Democrats.
Still, the CHCI gala has historically brought together Democratic, Republican and unaffiliated Hispanics with an interest in political leadership.
The 2022 event will posthumously honor Celia Cruz, the famed Cuban American singer, with the 2022 Medallion of Excellence Award. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra will receive the 2022 American Dream Medallion Award.
Also receiving awards will be retiring Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) and Albio Sires (D-N.J.), Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia Kenia Seoane López, and Marvin Figueroa, a CHCI alumnus who heads the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs.
Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off on Sept. 15, Mexican Independence Day, and runs through Oct. 15.

Stocks plunged on Tuesday as fears that the Federal Reserve will ultimately spark a recession spread like wildfire after a hotter-than-expected inflation print.
The Fed has raised interest rates four times this year in an attempt to cool rising consumer prices, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell saying that his inflation fight is “unconditional” and rate hikes will continue even if it means some “pain” for Americans.
But despite Powell’s efforts, inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rose by 0.1% in August, and 8.3% compared to the same period a year ago, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed on Tuesday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1276 points (or 3.94%) to 31,104 after the inflation data went public, as experts were quick to sound the alarm about the rising potential for a Fed-induced recession.
“The Fed has the worst problem in the world,” Chris Zaccarelli, Independent Advisor Alliance’s chief investment officer, told Fortune, arguing that the central bank will be forced to continue raising rates and shrinking its balance sheet even as the economy slows, which will bring a distinct rise in unemployment.
“It’s a political problem, not an economic problem—and the only cure for the current crisis is one that is politically infeasible,” he said. “If the Fed thought they were criticized too much by the previous administration, and they were, wait until they see the type of criticism they will be under as they deliberately create an economic scenario where unemployment jumps significantly.”
Zaccarelli sounded worried about what comes next: “Not only are they going to end up causing a recession, but it is going to be a bad one.”
He isn’t the only economic expert warning Americans about the coming Fed-induced “pain.”
ZipRecruiter’s lead economist, Sinem Buber, told Fortune that the rise in core inflation in August, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was a worrying sign.
“The real action in the report—the focus of the Fed’s attention, and the figure most synonymous with future inflation—is core inflation. And that delivered a shock, rising 0.6% in August to 6.3% over the year,” she said. “That suggests the Fed may have to hold rates higher for longer to tame inflation, with greater pain for the housing market and labor market along the way.”
The rise in core inflation, in particular, likely puts the Fed’s goal of a “soft landing”—where inflation is controlled without sparking a recession—out of reach, according to EY-Parthenon’s chief economist Gregory Daco.
“Inflation remains broad-based, and the sequential momentum for core CPI portends to only a very gradual easing of inflationary dynamics,” Daco told Fortune. “In the context of this global central bank tightening cycle, higher and more persistent inflationary pressures increase the risk of a hard landing.”
And for investors, the hot inflation reading means stocks will continue to face pressure as rising rates increase the cost of borrowing and lower market valuations.
“Unfortunately for markets, this print will reinforce the need for the Fed to remain aggressive and will likely keep a lid on risk assets over the foreseeable future,” Cliff Hodge, chief investment officer for Cornerstone Wealth, told Fortune.
The good, the bad, and the ugly
Of course, the latest CPI report wasn’t all bad. Overall energy prices dipped 5% in August, owing to a 10.6% monthly drop in gasoline prices. And used car prices also fell 0.1% last month, after surging throughout the pandemic.
However, taken as a whole, the latest inflation report wasn’t what Wall Street was hoping for. Some 70% of the categories that make up the consumer price index saw annual price increases of more than 4% month over month in August. And although gas prices have dropped sharply since June, experts say energy price relief may not last.
Jeffrey Roach, LPL Financial’s chief economist, told Fortune that he fears rising electricity and natural gas prices this winter will end up erasing much of the savings Americans earned from falling gas prices in recent weeks.
Roach also argued that rising food costs are a “growing concern.” Food prices rose 11.4% from a year ago in August, the largest year-over-year jump since 1979.
“Inflation pressures are especially hurting lower-income households who spend a greater percentage of income on food,” Roach noted.
While rising prices at the grocery store are worrying economists, their main concern seems to be shelter inflation. Overall shelter prices rose 0.7% in August, and 6.2% year over year.
While that may not seem like a lot, it’s a critical statistic, because shelter prices make up over 32% of the consumer price index, of which roughly 8% is rent prices and some 24% is owner’s equivalent rent (OER)—which is determined by a monthly survey that asks consumers who own a primary residence how much they would pay to rent instead of own their home.
Liz Ann Sonders, the chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, noted in a Tuesday tweet that the OER portion of August’s CPI reading showed a 6.3% year-over-year jump. That’s the fastest increase since April 1986.
“The housing sector is critical as it represents almost a third of total CPI and is likely to be a consistent contributor to inflation, as rents are sticky and are slowly reflected in CPI through surveys that have significant lags in reporting,” Jay Hatfield, the CIO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors, told Fortune.
However, Hatfield argues the Fed’s policies of raising interest rates and shrinking its balance sheet, thereby reducing the money supply, will eventually work to control inflation.
“We continue to be optimistic that inflation will steadily decline over the next six months as the Fed’s 15% reduction in the money supply produces a very strong dollar and slows the housing sector through dramatically higher mortgage rates,” Hatfield said.
Bank of America economists, led by chief U.S. economist Michael Gapen, aren’t as optimistic about the timing, arguing that true price stability won’t come until 2024 in a Tuesday research note. And, like most of their peers, the BofA team are also concerned about the rising possibility of a “hard landing” for the U.S. economy.
“Altogether, the solid reading on core CPI and core goods prices, in particular, suggests that underlying price pressures remain firm and, in our view, suggests the Fed’s work is only just beginning,” they wrote. “Solid employment gains alongside firm core inflation readings point to additional monetary policy tightening and hard landing risks.”

Zac Efron says he ‘almost died’ after shattering his jaw
By Lisa Respers France, CNN
Zac Efron has heard about speculation that he altered his face with plastic surgery, but he says that’s not close to the truth.
“It was funny,” he told “Entertainment Tonight” about people thinking he had gone under the knife. “It sucks. I almost died, but we’re good.”
While promoting his new film, “The Greatest Beer Run Ever,” Efron put the rumors to rest as he had actually been injured. The actor reportedly shattered his jaw and had to have it wired shut after he slipped in a puddle of water near his home.
Someone close to him told him that word on the street was he had undergone plastic surgery.
“My mom told me,” he said. “I never really read the internet, so, I don’t really care.”
Viewers can catch his face, along with those of costars Bill Murray and Russell Crowe, in the new movie in which he plays a man who in 1967 travels to Vitenam to bring beer to his childhood buddies who are fighting for the Army during the war.
It premieres September 30 on Apple TV+.

TikTok has launched a new feature that invites users to capture what they’re doing moment-to-moment using both their device’s cameras. TikTok Now is a…
Zoom’s email, calendar feature’s may take-on Google, Office
Popular video conferencing service Zoom is reportedly working on a stand-alone calendar and email feature.
This will mean most who use third-party email services may not have to if this rumor is correct.
Zoom allows users to connect with video, audio, phone and chat with only a secure connection as a requirement.
Users have to plug in third-party calendars to sync their Zoom meetings and webinars.
Zoom has partnered with various companies to integrate its system seamlessly with other calendar apps like Google and Outlook.
The video conferencing tool is possibly taking on tech giants Microsoft and Google with the set features, should they deliver.
What does this mean?
This would mean Zoom user plug-in’s would be optional for users and not mandatory.
In what’s expected to be a slight expansion for Zoom, the email and Calender apps’ may increase the conferencing apps share of the market, considering it has seen immense growth, during the Covid19 pandemic era.
The addition of a calendar and email features, means Zoom, would will not only take on white board apps, but solidly packed competitors such as Google and Microsoft.
With features such as Calender and email, Zoom will likely become a go-to product in work spaces, an alternative to Google’s product, Google Meet.
Google Meet, a Google product is also available on both Android and iOS web browsers which came as a potential replacement for Google Hangouts and Google Duo.
This may be an expensive risky expansion for Zoom as both Microsoft and Google have had time to solidify, and rollout tested products into markets they already had.
Google’s free tools such as Gmail and Google Doc continue to make it a leader in product offerings for the simple fact that most of their features come at no cost to run.
Companies gravitate towards functionality and seamless productivity, and if Zoom can deliver both, it may just be the new kid with the exceptional warrior grit.
This educated rumour may just be here-say for now, but Zoom may just make the announcement at their Zoomtopia event in November 8 and 9.
The event is wildly known to offer interactive and engaging sessions while tailoring direction into the future of communications.
