After retaining Steve Johnson and signing Mario Williams to a $96 million contract in March, the Buffalo Bills created a bit of a buzz this offseason. Many analysts view them as a legitimate contender for a playoff spot, including Football Outsiders, who have the Bills' playoff odds at 54.8 percent in their annual almanac. (The New York Jets' playoff odds are 46.4 percent)
With the New England Patriots expected to win the AFC East, the Jets training camp dominating headlines, and cameras following the Miami Dolphins around for HBO's "Hard Knocks" this summer, the Bills quietly are going about their business.
Flying under the radar is just fine to running back Fred Jackson, who told our "NFL AM" crew Monday that the Bills don't mind playing a sleeper role.
"I think you always want to be considered one of the best," Jackson said on NFL Network. "And we know that we haven't proven anything. We still have to step out on the football field and make plays and put us in a position to be known as one of the better or dominant teams. So that's just another thing for us to shoot for. You know, go out there and kind of set the bar high for ourselves, give people reason to think that we're a dominant team.
"So we don't mind being a sleeper. We don't mind being a team that nobody talks about, just because, like I said, we haven't proven anything. Hopefully we let our play talk for us when we get out there."

Action Point, an Argentine startup, has developed a white-label solution that allows banks to offer cryptocurrency services through their already existent ATM infrastructures. The company provides this service in partnership with Lirium AG, a crypto-as-a-service organization, and has already implemented the solution in over a dozen ATMs in the country.
Argentine Startup Action Point Takes Crypto to Fiat ATMs
Latam has been a fertile land for crypto adoption, and now banks in Brazil and Argentina are including cryptocurrency services on their platforms. Action Point, an Argentine startup, aims to surf the wave of this trend by providing middleware tech to help banks achieve this goal. The company has developed a white-label solution for banks to include cryptocurrency services in their already available ATM networks.
The white label property of the tool allows each banking organization to preserve its own digital app as the only way of accessing its services. The solution works on the back of each tech stack, giving the banks the administration of these functions.
For the operation of this service, dubbed Crypto Solution, Action Point has partnered with Lirium AG, a Liechtenstein-based cryptocurrency-as-a-service company, that also provides plug-and-play services, to aid them in fulfilling compliance requirements.
Regarding how compliance is key for this kind of tool, Lirium COO Martín Kopacz stated:
Globally, one of the key demands for banks has to do with compliance, whereby crypto ATM operators must demonstrate capabilities to monitor their customer base, particularly over wallets that may be connected to criminal activity. This is how Crypto Solution was born, a cryptocurrency tool for banking apps that covers all regulatory, technical, operational, and security aspects.
Cryptocurrency ATMs Swell in Latam
This proposal seeks to power the cryptocurrency ATM base in the country, which is still in its growth stages. According to numbers from Coin ATM Radar, Argentina only has 13 crypto-enabled ATMs, most of them located in Buenos Aires, the capital of the country.
In other countries, cryptocurrency ATMs have been more popular. Colombia experienced a cryptocurrency ATM boom last year, having 50 units already operating in the country. The country with the most extended crypto ATM network in Latam is El Salvador, with 212 units. This cryptocurrency ATM explosion is part of the rollout of the Chivo wallet, the state-backed crypto wallet, after the approval of bitcoin as legal tender in the nation last year.
Other crypto ATM companies are also interested in getting into Latam, as Bitbase, a Spain-based organization, is already preparing to launch operations in Venezuela this year.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

Boeing officials said Thursday they will find new buyers for some Boeing 737 Max jets that were built for Chinese airlines but can’t be delivered because China’s aviation regulator has not cleared the plane to fly after two deadly crashes.
Boeing hopes the move will reduce its inventory of undelivered Max jets, which built up while the planes were grounded around the world.
However, the decision risks adding to tension between the aircraft manufacturer and China, which was once Boeing’s biggest market for the Max.
Arlington, Virginia-based Boeing had 290 undelivered 737s in inventory as of June 30, with about half of them earmarked for China, company officials said. The company did not disclose how many might be resold to new buyers.
Boeing’s hopes were raised last December, when China’s aviation regulator took a major step toward letting airlines resume using the Max. In February, Chinese airlines ran flight tests. But the Civil Aviation Administration of China has not taken the final steps to allow Max flights and deliveries to resume, which Boeing officials blame on COVID-19 lockdowns.
Meanwhile, the company was running out patience.
“We have deferred decisions on those planes for a long time. We can’t defer that decision forever,” Boeing Chief Financial Officer Brian West said Thursday. “So we will begin to re-market some of those airplanes that were otherwise earmarked for our Chinese customers.”
China “is an important market,” and Boeing did not make the decision lightly, West said during a Morgan Stanley investor conference. But he expressed confidence that Boeing can find new buyers for the planes, which list at $100 million and up — although airlines routinely get deep discounts.
China is the last major market where the Max is still awaiting approval to fly. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approved changes Boeing made to the plane in late 2020, and regulators in Europe, Canada and Brazil have followed suit.
The importance of the Chinese market to Boeing was underscored in July, when China’s three largest airlines ordered nearly 300 planes from its European rival Airbus.
U.S. relations with China were strained during the administration of former President Donald Trump, who waged a trade war with China. On Thursday, Boeing CEO David Calhoun said free trade with China has helped the company but that recent “geopolitical events” will “slow us down.”
“I think we will get back there some day,” Calhoun said at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce event. “I just don’t think it’s a day soon.”

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGTX) between January 15, 2020 and May 31, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important September 16, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased TG Therapeutics securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the TG Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7662 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 16, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) clinical trials revealed significant concerns related to the benefit-risk ratio and overall survival data of Ublituximab (an investigational glycoengineered monoclonal antibody for the treatment of B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia ("CLL"), and relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis) and Umbralisib (or UKONIQ, an oral inhibitor of PI3K-delta and CK1-epsilon for the treatment of CLL, marginal zone lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma); (2) accordingly, it was unlikely that TG Therapeutics would be able to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of the marginal zone lymphoma ("MZL") and follicular lymphoma ("FL") (the "Umbralisib MZL/FL NDA"), the rolling submission of a Biologics License Application ("BLA") to the FDA for Ublituximab in combination with Umbralisib (together, "U2"), as a treatment for patients with CLL (the "U2 BLA"), the supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") for Umbralisib to add an indication for CLL and small lymphocytic lymphoma ("SLL") in combination with Ublituximab (the "U2 sNDA"), or the Ublituximab as a treatment for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis ("RMS") (the "Ublituximab RMS BLA") in their current forms; (3) as a result, TG Therapeutics had significantly overstated Ublituximab and Umbralisib's clinical and/or commercial prospects; and (4) therefore, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the TG Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7662 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

At Monday's Laurens Commission of Public Works board of commissioners meeting, the commissioners unanimously voted on two items.
The first is rate changes for new customers dealing with connection feed and deposits. CPW will now charge a $10 application fee, raising it from $5. The fee covers credit checks and similar items. For the next business day service, electricity and gas will still be $30 but water is increasing from $10 to $30.
According to General Manager John Young, water prices were cheaper because the electricity truck used to turn the water on as well. Now, it is done by a service technician.
Transfer cost within the CPW system is also raised from $10 to $30. The cost will offset fees for behind-the-scene work and is now more in line with what others in the area cost.
The second matter approved deals with employee stipends for personal cell phones.
This policy is for employees who are not issued a CPW cell phone but are on regular stand-by calls and other after-hours work activities.
The new system, Daupler, is more interactive than the previous system used by CPW.
The stipends will be issued in April and October. The estimated amount is $150 for the year which is broken down into two $75 payments.
The stipend amount will be evaluated yearly.

LONDON (AP) — Reaction to Roger Federer’s announcement that he will retire from tennis after the Laver Cup in London next week.
___
“I wish this day would have never come… it’s a sad day for me personally and for sports people around the world. I said it to you when we spoke and now it’s here. It’s been a pleasure but also an honor and privilege to share all these years with you, living so many amazing moments on and off the court.” — Rafael Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion and one of Federer’s biggest rivals on the court.
___
“Roger Federer is a champion’s champion. He has the most complete game of his generation & captured the hearts of sports fans around the world with an amazing quickness on the court & a powerful tennis mind. He has had a historic career w/memories that will live on and on.” — Billie Jean King, a 12-time major champion.
___
“Thank you for everything Roger. See you soon. Rocket.” — Rod Laver, who won 11 Grand Slam titles.
___
“Roger has been one of my idols and a source of inspiration! Thank you for everything you have done for our sport! I still want to play with you! Wish you all the luck in the world for what comes next!” — Carlos Alcaraz, the top-ranked Spaniard who won the U.S. Open last week.
___
“What a heartfelt message, full of love, life, hope, passion and gratitude. Which is exactly how Roger played the game we love so much. Thank you thank you thank you, for all the magic!!!” — Martina Navratilova, a nine-time Wimbledon champion with 18 majors overall.
___
“I had suggested to him years ago that he should stop. Not many tennis players at his level push into their 40s. But he was always interested in challenging himself. And at the end of the day, after 1,500-plus matches, the tires finally wore out. And he’s got things to do in his next stage.” — Tony Godsick, Federer’s agent since 2005.
___
“There was that incredible speed. There was the unreal work close to the net. And there was the way he made it all look devastatingly easy. But there was also, just as importantly, a kindness and a grace — one might even say a dignity — in the way he carried himself on the court and off.” — Anna Wintour, Federer’s friend and Vogue editor-in-chief.
___
“Cheers Roger. Thanks for the shared memories my friend. It was an honor to share time/experiences on the most hallowed grounds in our sport. Don’t be a stranger.” — Andy Roddick, a former No. 1 who lost to Federer 16-14 in the fifth set of the 2009 Wimbledon final.
___
”Roger – you have always been such a huge inspiration to me. Your elegance, your grace, your beautiful game. I have always held you in the highest regard and want to congratulate you for an amazing career. Tennis won’t be the same without you!” — Petra Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion from the Czech Republic.
___
“Thank you for doing more for tennis than any single individual. Thanks to you competitors and fans across the world get to experience and enjoy it all over the world. Congratulations on your achievements and the people you continue to impact in and away from tennis.” — Milos Raonic, the 2016 Wimbledon runner-up from Canada.
___
“I LOVE YOU, Roger. Thank you for everything you’ve done in tennis and with myself. Tennis world will never be the same without you.” — Juan Martín del Potro, an Argentine player who beat Federer in the 2009 U.S. Open final for his only major title.
___
“Roger, there was and never will be anyone like you. You crushed me on the court, but were so nice and genuine that I couldn’t hate you for it. You made the game better on and off the court and you will be missed. Good luck, you have earned all the success and joy in the world.” — James Blake, a former player from the United States.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican authorities have arrested a retired general and three other members of the army for alleged connection to the disappearance of 43 students in southern Mexico in 2014, the government announced Thursday.
Assistant Public Safety Secretary Ricardo Mejia said that among those arrested was the former officer who commanded the army base in the Guerrero state city of Iguala in September 2014, when the students from a radical teacher’s college were abducted.
Mejía said a fourth arrest was expected soon, and later a government official with knowledge of the case who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter confirmed that another member of the army had been arrested.
Mejía did not give names of those arrested, but the commander of the Iguala base at that time was José Rodríguez Pérez, then a colonel. Barely a year after the students’ disappearances and with the missing students’ families already raising suspicions about military involvement and demanding access to the base, Rodríguez was promoted to brigadier general.
The government official who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed that Rodríguez was arrested and said he was being held at a military installation. The source would say about the others arrested only that two were officers and the third was an enlisted soldier.
Last month, a government truth commission re-investigating the case issued a report that named Rodríguez as being allegedly responsible for the disappearance of six of the students.
Interior Undersecretary Alejandro Encinas, who led the commission, said last month that six of the missing students were allegedly kept alive in a warehouse for days then turned over to Rodríguez who ordered them killed.
The report had called the disappearances a “state crime,” emphasizing that authorities had been closely monitoring the students from the teachers’ college at Ayotzinapa from the time they left their campus through their abduction by local police in the town of Iguala that night. A soldier who had infiltrated the school was among the abducted students, and Encinas asserted the army did not follow its own protocols and try to rescue him.
“There is also information corroborated with emergency 089 telephone calls where allegedly six of the 43 disappeared students were held during several days and alive in what they call the old warehouse and from there were turned over to the colonel,” Encinas said. “Allegedly the six students were alive for as many as four days after the events and were killed and disappeared on orders of the colonel, allegedly the then Col. José Rodríguez Pérez.”
Numerous government and independent investigations have failed to reach a single conclusive narrative about what happened to the 43 students, but it appears that local police pulled the students off several buses in Iguala that night and turned them over to a drug gang. The motive remains unclear. Their bodies have never been found, though fragments of burned bone have been matched to three of the students.
The role of the army in the students’ disappearance has long been a source of tension between the families and the government. From the beginning, there were questions about the military’s knowledge of what happened and its possible involvement. The students’ parents demanded for years that they be allowed to search the army base in Iguala. It was not until 2019 that they were given access along with Encinas and the Truth Commission.
Shortly after the truth commission report, the Attorney General’s Office announced 83 arrest orders, 20 for members of the military. Then federal agents arrested Jesús Murillo Karam, who was attorney general at the time.
Doubts had been growing in the weeks since the arrest orders were announced because no arrests had been announced. The administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has also formed a closer public bond with the military than any in recent memory.
The president pushed to shift the newly created National Guard under full military authority and his allies in congress are trying to extend the time for the military to continue a policing role in the streets to 2028.
On Thursday, Mejía also dismissed any suggestion that José Luis Abarca, who was mayor of Iguala at the time, would be released from prison after a judge absolved him of responsibility for the student’s abduction based on a lack of evidence. Even without the aggravated kidnapping charge, Abarca still faces other charges for organized crime and money laundering, and Mejía said the judge’s latest decision would be challenged. The judge similarly absolved 19 others, including the man who was Iguala’s police at the time.
The Miguel Agustin Pro Human Rights Center and other nongovernmental organizations that have supported the families of the students said in a joint statement Thursday that the government had so far not notified the families of the case against Rodríguez nor the charges he would face.
They said that if the prosecution of Rodríguez did advance on “solid evidence” it could be very relevant for holding the military accountable. The statement noted that there was “abundant” evidence about the collusion of soldiers from the Iguala base with organized crime.
The organizations also called on authorities to appeal the judge’s decision absolving Abarca and others. They said the ruling was the result of poor work by the Attorney General’s Office that originally brought the charges, including the extensive use of torture which led much of the evidence to be excluded.

TEMPLE – It was a rich and adventurous life-by her account-beginning with her famous road trip hitch-hiking from Cape Town to Cairo in the ’60s while serving in the Peace Corps in west Africa, to her migrant farm work on a Kibbutz in Israel’s Negev, to the years living in Manhattan teaching in the South Bronx and working in the world of private philanthropy funding all manner of political and cultural activism and finally to her “back to the land years” in Maine.
Despite undergraduate and graduate work in biology from Douglass College and Columbia University, when she came to Maine she earned her living as a journalist for newspapers and magazines, covering everything from the closure of GH Bass for the Morning Sentinel to the strike at International Paper Company for the Livermore Falls Advertiser to the school funding formula for the Maine Municipal Association. Over the years, she served on several boards including the High Peaks Alliance, School District 9, Fedco Seeds, a consumer-worker cooperative, and the Sandy River Recycling Association.
She had many “side bars” be it writing the history of Bagel and Dreydl, where Jewish feminists debated the Jewish patriarchs of Franklin County, or her Daily Bulldog column “The Opinionated Gardener” where she explored everything from the corporate takeover of the seed industry to the sexless life of the seed potato…And then there was the “Temple Times,” all the news the selectmen saw fit to print, that she edited for almost two decades. She could be found often in her basement darkroom, documenting her work and passions in black and white film.
Among her many passions were heritage apple trees, particularly the Deane apple tree which was said to have originated in Temple on the farm of Cyrus Dean, a Quaker whose farm was a way station for the Underground Railroad helping runaway slaves make their way to Canada. She grew many of the two part grafted trees from Fedco Trees and when it seemed time gave them to her neighbors.
Jo lived simply in Temple in a house she designed with her builder. It was supplied with gravity fed-water from a hillside spring, heat from the wood on her land, and garlic year-round from her gardens. Her wood fire sauna at the edge of her field was a gathering place for all who enjoyed the dry heat of 180 degrees followed by a romp in the snow while pondering the fate of the earth. She lived for 10 days every year downeast, where she explored many islands off the coast with her yellow sea kayak “Buttercup.”
Jo is survived by her sister-cousin Susan Bass of California and the “members” of Women Walking with whom she scaled many-a-mountain and kayaked many-a-lake.
She was predeceased by her sister Rochelle Kamsar of Toms River, N.J. Her parents Phil and Dorothy Schiffman Josephson of Rutherford, N.J. were first-generation Americans from eastern Europe. She declared her life rich in friendships.
Her ashes will be scattered over the waters off of South Addison.
She would like to be remembered with a donation to the Downeast Coastal Conservancy.
There will be a celebration of life in honor of Jo at the Temple Town Office (258 Temple Road) on October 1st at 3 p.m. outdoors (weather permitting), indoors if not. Memories may be shared in her Book of Memories at www.wilesrc.com. Cremation care has been provided by the Wiles Remembrance Center of Farmington.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Uber says it is responding to an unspecified “cybersecurity incident.”
The San Francisco-based ride-hailing service said on Twitter Thursday night that it is in touch with law enforcement and will have updates as soon as they are available.
The company confirmed in an email to The Associated Press Thursday night that the tweet is authentic. It did not answer questions about what exactly was breached or whether the ride-hailing platform was affected.
The email said that updates would be posted on its Uber Comms twitter feed.

Deutsche Bank has downgraded abrdn to “sell” and highlighted concerns around the asset manager’s cost-saving plans.
The downgrade from "hold" was revealed in an analyst note published yesterday (14 September), just two weeks after abrdn dropped out of the FTSE 100.
The bank said it is now taking a "more cautious stance on several fronts" towards abrdn and has cut its price target by 23% from 175p to 135p, adding that accelerating stake sales will not offset wider headwinds faced by the company.
abrdn confirms plans to merge or close 100 funds
The report said: "We have been cautious on abrdn for a while [and have] reflected on the numbers and see even further downside risk to the shares from both an earnings and capital perspective.
"We think the earnings are unlikely to turn around over the next six to twelve months, barring a sizeable market recovery."
Commenting on abrdn's recently announced cost-saving strategies, DB said questions remain around some of the proposals put forward.
It said that while the group has achieved some effective non-core disposals, the market is increasingly concerned that future disposals may result in the loss of high-margin or high-growth revenues - effectively offsetting any potential cost savings over the long-run.
abrdn's Harry Nimmo to retire after four decades
Meanwhile, in response to abrdn's plans to consolidate funds, the bank argued that while this should reduce admin costs, it believes there "could also be some revenue hit from shutting down certain funds".
It added that while reducing headcount and streamlining operations is a sensible approach, it can be timely and can come with "initial friction".
DB also labelled the company's dividend as "unsustainable" and said it is cautious around the value of excess capital locked within the Indian stakes, as it does not believe all proceeds will be returned to shareholders.
"Of the proceeds kept within the business, we think there could be a risk they will be used to fund restructuring rather than value-accretive strategies," it added.
This is the latest in a run of bad news for the Edinburgh-based fund group, which has seen its share value fall by almost half over the past year. Nearly 18 months after its rebrand, the firm's half-yearly report revealed that profits were down 18% compared to the same period last year, in addition to IFRS tax losses of £320m.
Growth ambitions delayed as abrdn profits drop and AUM shrinks
DB noted that the overall relative performance of abrdn's funds weakened during the first half of 2022, with one-year performance declining consistently since 2020.
"The picture is even more stark in the equity funds, which have seen a decline in the percentage of outperforming funds from 72% in 2021 to 51% in H1 2022 (on a three-year basis)," it said.
abrdn's share price fell by more than 4% after the downgrade on 14 September. As at 2.45pm today, it had risen 0.85% on yesterday's closing price.

NEW YORK, United States, Sep 16 – Serena Williams welcomed Roger Federer to the tennis “retirement club” on Thursday, saying she has always admired and looked up to the Swiss legend.
Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, said Thursday he would retire after playing next week in London at the Laver Cup.
Among those sending congratulations to the 41-year-old icon for his tremendous career was 23-time Grand Slam winner Williams, who said she was “evolving” away from tennis, with last week’s US Open expected to be her final tournament.
“I wanted to find the perfect way to say this, as you so eloquently put this game to rest — perfectly done, just like your career,” Williams said in an Instagram post.
“I have always looked up to you and admired you. Our paths were always so similar, so much the same. You inspired countless millions and millions of people — including me — and we will never forget.”
Williams came as close as she has come to firmly saying her own career is complete by welcoming Federer into “the retirement club.”
“I applaud you and look forward to all that you do in the future,” Williams wrote. “Welcome to the retirement club. And thank you for being you @rogerfederer.”

MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Binance, the world's largest blockchain ecosystem, recently partnered with the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center (CICC) under the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), to share its insights and experiences in preventing cybercrime using blockchain forensics with the various law enforcement agencies.
The seminar was designed by Binance and conducted by the company's Asia Pacific Head of Intelligence and Investigations, Jarek Jacubcek. During the 2 days-long seminar, Jacubcek covered the technical aspects of interactions with and between exchanges, cryptocurrency tracing, common cybercrime activities, investigative techniques, prosecution of financial crimes, and forensics report development using open-source intelligence tools.
Jarek Jacubcek, a former member of the Garda, the Irish National Police, and Europol's Cybercrime Centre, joined the Binance team in May and is tasked to take down malicious activities in the crypto ecosystem with the help of law enforcement agencies across the region.
The seminar was also graced by the presence of CICC Usec. Alexander K. Ramos, CICC Deputy Director Mary Rose Magsaysay, and PCol. Armel Gongona, Deputy Director of Administration of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group.
"We are here to increase the technical capacity of our law enforcement and to help the judicial system appreciate cryptocurrency and how it is used as digital evidence in the judicial system. We are doing this because we need the public reassured that our law enforcement system is catching up to high tech criminals. We welcome cryptocurrency transactions so that the public may be able to use it for their economic activities'' says Mary Rose Magsaysay, Deputy Executive Director, CICC.
Binance on Cybersecurity
Binance has a strict KYC policy that imposes a zero-tolerance approach to double registrations, anonymous identities, and obscure sources of money. Binance's KYC processes are compliant with AML/CFT rules in over 200 jurisdictions.
Binance does not allow users to trade on its platform without passing KYC checks that include country of residence and personal identification information. Jacubcek notes "Our primary objective over the past 18 months has been to assemble a globally recognized security and compliance team, consisting of more than 500 people from across the globe."
At the same time, Jacubcek notes that while exchanges like Binance do its share of ensuring that their platform is secure, users also need to take responsibility and cyber hygiene seriously.
''Cryptocurrency give users power. All of a sudden, people have ownership of the funds. They can send funds from one person to another. But with the power comes responsibility. So, people should be very careful about their sensitive data and their cryptocurrencies when they're making these transactions. With more education, consumers will appreciate the importance of personal data hygiene and better cybersecurity practices," says Jacubcek.
Aside from the recent training session held in Quezon City, Binance also delivered workshops for law enforcement agencies and banking professionals in Germany (BKA, LKA, prosecutors), Canada (mixed Law Enforcement audience), Italy (Guardia di Finanza), Paraguay (prosecutors) and Brazil (Brazilian Federal Police and Prosecutors) to help facilitate investigations of cybercrimes around the world.
To protect their users, Binance has one of the world's largest insurance funds called SAFU (secure asset fund for users) with holdings of $1 billion[1] held transparently in two separate wallets that are auditable by the public at any time. The funds can be used to payout to users should their accounts be subject to hacks.

The performance of first-lien mortgages in the federal banking system improved during the second quarter of 2022, according to an OCC report issued today.
The OCC Mortgage Metrics Report showed that 97% of mortgages were current and performing at the end of the quarter, compared to 95% a year earlier. The percentage of seriously delinquent mortgages—mortgages that are 60 or more days past due and all mortgages held by bankrupt borrowers whose payments are 30 or more days past due—was 1.5% in Q2, compared to 1.8% in the prior quarter and 3.8% a year ago.
Servicers initiated 11,015 new foreclosures in Q2, a decrease from the prior quarter and a year earlier, but was comparable to pre-COVID-19 pandemic foreclosure volumes. Servicers completed 28,109 modifications, a decrease of 33.7% from the previous quarter. Of the modifications, 78.2% reduced borrowers’ monthly payments and 95.6% were modifications that included multiple actions affecting the affordability and sustainability of the loan, such as an interest rate reduction and a term extension.
The first-lien mortgages included in the OCC’s quarterly report comprise 22% of all residential mortgage debt outstanding in the United States or approximately 12.2 million loans totaling $2.7 trillion in principal balances.

NEW YORK (AP) — In a memoir Anne Heche worked on over the past year, the actor shared candid thoughts on her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres in the late 1990s, when they were among Hollywood’s first openly gay couples.
“I was labeled ‘outrageous’ because I fell in love with a woman. I had never been with a woman before I dated Ellen,” Heche wrote in “Call Me Anne,” which Start Publishing has scheduled for January. Heche, whose films included “Donnie Brasco” and “Wag the Dog,” died Aug. 14 at age 53 after a car crash in Los Angeles.
In her lifetime, Heche said that Hollywood effectively blacklisted her because of her being with DeGeneres, who around the same time made television history by having her character in the sitcom “Ellen” come out as gay.
“I did not, personally, identify as a lesbian. I simply fell in love! It was, to be clear, as odd to me as anyone else. There were no words to describe how I felt,” Heche wrote in her book, a sequel to the memoir “Call Me Crazy,” published in 2001. “Gay didn’t feel right, and neither did straight. Alien might be the best fit, I sometimes thought. What, why, and how I fell in love with a person instead of their gender, I would have loved to have answered if anyone had asked, but as I said earlier, no one ever did. I am happy that I was able to tell you in this book — once and for all.”
Start, an independent publisher based in Hoboken, New Jersey, shared the excerpt this week with The Associated Press. The book’s publisher, Jarred Weisfeld, says that he signed a deal with Heche in May and that she had turned in a manuscript shortly before she died. She will also write about having Harrison Ford as a mentor, along with stories about Alec Baldwin, Ivan Reitman and Oliver Stone, among others.
The book’s release was first announced by Publishers Weekly. Heche had mentioned writing a memoir during a podcast earlier this year, in which she promised that “some of the truths” about her and DeGeneres would be included.

Bangalore: Opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah on Thursday condemned the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summon to Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar and called it a frustrated attempt to thwart Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“In an attempt to thwart the preparations for BharatJodaYatra and harass Congress leaders, ED has summoned KPCC President, DK Shivakumar again. While INC Karnataka continues to expose 40 Percent Sarkara, BJP is misusing institutions to divert the attention of people,” tweeted Siddaramaiah.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra is a 3,500-km march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir that will be completed in 150 days and cover as many as 12 states. From Kerala, the Yatra will traverse through the state for the next 18 days, reaching Karnataka on September 30. It will be in Karnataka for 21 days before moving north. The Padyatra (march) will cover a distance of 25 km every day.
Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar has been asked to attend the hearing related to a money laundering case by ED. The hearing has been slated for September 19.
Sources say that Shivakumar has decided to write a letter asking for time.
“In the midst of the BharatJodoYatra and the assembly session, they have again issued me an ED summon to appear. I am ready to cooperate but the timing of this summons and the harassment I am put through, is coming in the way of discharging my constitutional and political duties,” tweeted Shivakumar.
Earlier in August, a Special CBI Court of Delhi had granted bail to four accused in a money laundering case connected with Karnataka Congress leader DK Shivkumar registered by Enforcement Directorate.
The ED had arrested Karnataka Congress leader DK Shivakumar on September 3, 2019, in the case and later Delhi High Court granted him bail in October 2019.
The Enforcement Directorate in May filed a charge sheet against Congress leader DK Shivakumar and others in a money laundering case. DK Shivakumar is an Indian politician who is currently serving as the President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee.
The money laundering case was registered by the Enforcement Directorate, based on a complaint filed by the Income Tax (IT) department. The I-T department, during the initial probe, had allegedly found unaccounted and misreported wealth linked to the congress leader.
DK Shivakumar earlier had called the charges “baseless” and “politically motivated”.
Earlier, the ED has also summoned DK Shivakumar’s wife and mother to appear before it, which was later challenged in the Delhi High Court. According to the source, the ED has not mentioned Shivakumar’s wife and mother’s names in the chargesheet.

A huge solar farm in the greenbelt north of Bristol has been approved despite fears it will harm vital habitat for endangered birds and other wildlife. South Gloucestershire Council development management committee voted unanimously to grant planning permission for the project at Perrinpit Farm, near Frampton Cotterell, which will power 14,500 homes and save almost 26,000 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Conservationists told members the disruption and proposed use of pesticides could threaten species including skylarks, yellowhammers, brown hares, birds of prey and badgers. But the meeting heard officers recommended giving the go-ahead because the 90-hectare scheme would result in a biodiversity net gain and the benefits of helping to tackle the climate emergency outweighed the harms, including the setting of two listed buildings.
Will Weaver, whose family have farmed the land for more than 80 years, said it would provide a “lifeline” to secure agriculture for future generations. Addressing councillors at the meeting on Thursday, September 15, a spokeswoman for Frampton Cotterell Nature Group, which has 500 members, said there had been no community engagement and a promised consultation with their organisation did not happen.

She said: “This is a very large solar farm and the impact on ecology has been assessed using just a desk survey and a site visit. The area hosts birds on the conservation concern red list including swift, sparrow, spotted flycatcher, greenfinch, skylark, yellowhammer and linnet.
“The site is part of a large area used by ravens, peregrine falcons and brown hares and the plans will restrict their habitat, and we do not know how this will affect them. Ground-nesting and ground-feeding birds will lose most of their open-field habitat.
“With habitat disruption, skylarks may well be displaced and numbers decline.” She said the group was concerned about the use of pesticides to “control mammalian pests, which may include badgers”.
“There is a plan to use herbicides for undefined invasive species,” she added. Planning agent Nick Beddoe said the project was on lower-grade agricultural land with the best fields reserved for farming.
He said a biodiversity net gain would be achieved through a new wildlife corridor comprising trees, hedgerows, wildflower meadow and a bat house in a redundant stone barn. “There is a limited use of pesticides proposed but this is only to prevent the spread of invasive species and to allow the proposed wildflower and other planting measures to establish. Its use would be tightly controlled,” Mr Beddoe said.
He said a new bridleway would connect to the existing network, while footpath gates and stiles would be upgraded and a community benefit fund set up for local projects. Third-generation farmer Mr Weaver told members: “The past few years have been most trying for us – extreme weather events coupled with rising costs, the loss of farming subsidies post-Brexit and increasingly volatile sale prices for our produce have cast much doubt on the future of Britain’s family farms.
“The proposed layout will cover 30 per cent of the farm’s periphery, and we will graze the sheep under the solar panels. The fencing allows safe passage of small animals while preventing poaching, which unfortunately is an increasing problem in this area.
“This proposal will allow our farm to have a much greater role while still being farmed in the same vein and will provide a lifeline of dependable income to secure the opportunities for future generations here.” South Gloucestershire Council planning manager Marie Bath said there would be a degree of harm at the “lower end of the spectrum” to Grade II-listed Perrinpit Farmhouse and a barn at Gloucester Road Farm but that “the benefits clearly outweigh the harms”.
She said: “Following numerous changes to the application, the impact on the landscape is deemed to be acceptable and it is only really visible from immediately adjacent to the site.” Ms Bath said there would be “significant ecological benefits” including 1.7km of new hedgerow and 99 new trees.
Frampton Cotterell ward Lib Dem Cllr Clark said: “It’s a difficult balancing act but one of the significant things is the climate and ecological emergency. Unanimously as a council we voted in favour of that and we can’t just retrofit our way to meeting those 2030 targets, so the significance of this scheme will make a huge contribution towards us achieving those targets.
“If we do miss them, the ecological side of that emergency is that we’re going to lose lots of those species, so I’m happy to support the proposal.” Conservative Cllr Paul Hughes said: “It’s going to help one of our fantastic farmers to survive, it's going to help with the energy crisis, so I thoroughly recommend this.”
The site will be returned to farmland after 40 years. Perrinpit Road Solar Limited, a joint venture between BayWa r.e. And Grϋne Energien Solar, is behind the plans.

Liger, directed by Puri Jagannadh, with its very showy promotions and starry cast could have been an engaging bildungsroman of a “chaiwala fighter” but instead lets viewers down with perfunctory characters of an unconvincing rogue and a weak storyline. The movie begins with Liger (played by Vijay Devarakonda whose abs, more than his acting chops, stole the show) with his shabby mane and poster shirts of his hero Mark Anderson and his overearnest widowed mother (Ramya Krishna who still seems to loitering as Rajmatha Sivagami ) shifting to Karim Nagar, Mumbai. Both are hell-bent on making him a champion-the “mix-breed” prodigy of a father who died in the ring and a strong-willed mother. The character has a twist though, he stammers except when he says determinedly “Fighter”. The chaiwala fighter manages to get trained by doing odd jobs but constantly gets picked on due to his stammer and aggressiveness. When you start to feel like the story is going somewhere, herein enters the archetypal social media-obsessed rich girl Taniya (Ananya Panday) who seduces the hero with her “devilish” charms. Taniya is so lazily written that it feels almost satiric with her pretentious materialistic life and friends. In fact, she is dull enough to refer to the Jeet kune do as Kung Fu and mock the Chinese art in spite of having a brother in the arena which makes one wonder what her winning quality is other than having the perfect wardrobe. Here’s the very unpredictable twist, she’s the villain’s sister! Her brother Sanju is a Mixed Martial Arts champion himself and ruffles with Liger. The script is incredibly lazy, and their conflict does not even get addressed well enough and feels like a textbook been there done that scenario. We never get to see Liger’s hard work or training to achieve his ambitions; it seems like he was born with perfect muscles. He rains punches on every match he is in, towering down his opponents. The songs and background music are atrocious. When you somehow sit through the high-pitched ‘Aafat’ with its questionable lyrics and the plastic romance, the second half begins where you realise that in fact you were never watching a martial arts movie. It seems that Puri had mixed up the script of a sports drama with another one from the gangster genre. Sprinkle in some mother motivation with unnecessary intensity and plain patriotism: “We are Indians and Indians will rule the world!”. The only unintentionally funny scene is when Liger gets thrashed up and hung under a rail by a bunch of female fighters as he is on a mission to save his damsel in distress Taniya. It is a refreshing jab at his misogynist ‘Arjun Reddy’. Yet even the mafia female gang fight is coated with sexist humour, and one wonders at the MMA fighter’s crassness at women fighters. If Karan Johar and Puri had spent half the amount they spend on aggressive promotions of the so claimed “blockbuster” on a better script, the movie would not have been half bad. I could silently hear Arjun Reddy fans clapping to scenes of Liger manhandling Taniya and chasing her around with a stick as he cusses and thrusts his pelvis at his opponents. Even though the promotion team released an Instagram filter on Liger it seems like they conveniently ignored to channel his aggressiveness or street smartness or even his stammer into a story of conviction and coming-of- age. Liger’s god-hero Mike Tyson’s aka Mark Anderson’s much anticipated entry was a cringe-worthy but oddly entertaining climax. One would wonder why the legend even chose to do a role that adds zero fodder to his image though his charisma was infectious.

Let us know what’s on your mind in 40 words or less. Submit Rants and Raves at kdminer.com/rants–and–raves or email editorial@kdminer.com. If your rant/rave is about a specific story please mention the headline. Rants and raves must be original; not plagiarized. We receive many more rants and raves than we can print. Local rants and raves are preferred.
COVID–19 kills 17 county residents rant – Regarding the editor’s note on the “COVID–19 Kills” Rant and Rave: If you believe the government (i.e., CDC, FDA, etc.) regarding the effectiveness of COVID vaccines, I’ve got some swamp land in Arizona to sell you.
COVID–19 kills 17 county residents rant – A 46% vaccination rate in county? That means many if not all who died did not have to die.
Joe Hart – businessman, mine inspector and lawmaker – dies at 78 – Rest in peace, Joe. It was wonderful fun growing up with all the Hart family. My deepest sympathy to all the family and specifically to Harriet.
Christine Flowers column: Sad to see vitriol spewed at Queen Elizabeth – In an article about vitriol, Flowers cannot help herself but to repeat ugly comments and spread some of her own, judging those who expressed negative feelings, and of course, including a racial dig. Does the Miner pay for this trash?
Building strong communities should be a team sport – I have no connection to Walmart other than occasionally shopping there, but I get tired of people whining about them. Stores don’t close down because Walmart moves in, they close because people quit shopping at them. Nobody makes them stop.
To the Kingmanite protesting student loan forgiveness – If you borrow money, pay it back! I don’t care how honorable you think the medical profession is, I worked hard for my diploma also. I paid every dime. You did not offer to pay that back for me!
Rancho Santa Fe Interchange costs rising – Very disheartening. Kingman needs this interchange and has needed it for quite some time. The city continues to grow in population, with many new housing developments, but everything else has not caught up. What a mess.
Two Kingman students arrested: “Arrest the girls for what? Making a list? rant – Would it have been better if they waited until something happened? Actually, kids need to be taught that it is OK to report and speak up.
Keep library parking for library use – This has been a problem for years. Families and friends of kids’ sports should learn a lesson. Walking a bit from a parking space in the park is good for you. Library attendees should not have to be inconvenienced!
Homeless veteran housing – Additional vouchers won’t do any good if there aren’t housing units for vets to move into! I moved my brother up here last year and was not able to find housing. Currently in motel for $650 month.
The government needs to stop viewing Unidentified Aerial Phenomena as threatening should extraterrestrials be visiting Earth. UAPs have not attacked U.S. naval vessels. They are not causing anyone harm. Plus, extraterrestrials could possess technology and wisdom that could greatly benefit humanity.
To the Kingmanite complaining about high density housing ruining Kingman – What’s ruining Kingman is a worker shortage because workers won’t work where they can’t find affordable housing. Enjoy longer lines at Walmart with less stuff being stocked as a result.
Mohave County Public Works and Sheriff’s Office employees monitored water crossings to protect motorists, then county employees worked into the night to clean up the storm debris. Thank you.

Weekly Reports | 10:00 AM
Weekly broker wrap: Spending to persist, neighbouring economy pre-empts Australia, covid testing declines, general insurers expect rate-driven return increases.
-Strong second quarter suggests consumer spending to persist in third quarter, before fourth quarter decline
-New Zealand economy provides read-through for Australia’s outlook, and impacts of inflation
-Covid volumes, and testing reimbursement, decline as normalisation continues
-Rate hikes look to drive income tax return increases over the coming two years

Second half growth drives analysts to delay inevitable consumer spending decline
Growth in Australia’s gross domestic product in the second quarter has seen Jarden adjust its economic outlook, accounting for a two-to-three-month lag in rate hikes impacting household spending. The broker is anticipating stronger consumer spending to persist into the September quarter, before a large moderation in the December quarter.
The stronger than expected second quarter was underpinned by a rebound in services, including a 30% quarter-on-quarter rise in tourism spend. Despite this, Jarden’ expects rate hikes, and resulting increases in mortgage payments, will drag on disposable income.
Jarden is also predicting savings rates to decline below pre-covid levels before the end of 2022. The broker continues to forecast consumption growth, of 12% and 4% in 2022 and 2023 respectively, but notes this will largely be driven by price rather than volume increases.
With middle income families most exposed to the impact of rising rates, Jarden suggests retailers with higher exposure to this demographic are most at risk. Favouring retailers with high income exposure and younger demographics, Jarden has a preference for Treasury Wine Estates ((TWE)), Premier Investments ((PMV)), Lovisa Holdings ((LOV)), Universal Store Holdings ((UNI)) and Accent Group ((AX1)).
The broker believes Harvey Norman Holdings ((HVN)), JB Hi-Fi ((JBH)) and Super Retail Group ((SUL)) may face headwinds. The market also anticipates consumers will be increasingly value-focused, likely benefitting supermarkets, with Jarden retaining its preference for Woolworths Group ((WOW)), as well as fast food providers like Collins Goods ((CKF)) and Domino’s Pizza ((DMP)).
Through the looking glass of New Zealand’s rate hike cycle
Analysts are treating New Zealand’s rate hike cycle, and its emerging impacts, as a read-through for Australia’s own economic outlook. With both countries entering a rate hike cycle with similar backdrops of strong business, solid household, banking and government balance sheets, and a strong labour market, our neighbours could hold up a mirror to Australia’s not-to-distant future.
Rate lifting was enacted in New Zealand a full seven months earlier than Australia, in October 2021, and rates have now increased 275 basis points over seven hikes. Given this early action, impacts are now starting to emerge across the economy, notably with a house price decline of -9% from a peak in November 2021.
In addition, employment growth has been largely flat over the last six months, and the retail industry reported a -2.3% sales decline in the second quarter. Consumer confidence dived early in the year, and remains at record lows, and Wilsons believes there is risk that the New Zealand economy could slow more sharply than expected. Analysts are anticipating a further slowing of momentum in the remainder of the year, with Wilsons noting the market is pricing in a further 90 basis points in hikes.
By comparison, Wilsons notes the market has priced in a similar 85 basis points in hikes from the RBA through to the end of 2022. Despite a number of rate hikes from the RBA, Australia’s gross domestic product grew 3.6% year-on-year in the June quarter. Analysts are now interested in whether the RBNZ will continue to enact rate hikes as effects start to emerge across housing, consumer spending and labour markets.
Testing reimbursements lessened as volumes decline
In further signs the world continues to normalise post-covid, testing volumes continued to decline in recent months. Domestic pathology businesses which benefitted from elevated testing in recent years will likely look to rely more heavily on base businesses as earnings revert.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes, rookie Jaylen Watson returned an interception 99 yards for the go-ahead fourth-quarter score, and the Kansas City Chiefs held on to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 on Thursday night.
Mahomes finished with 235 yards passing, and Jerick McKinnon and Justin Watson hauled in the TD passes for the Chiefs (2-0), who fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter and spent most of the game playing catch-up.
Jaylen Watson finally put the Chiefs ahead after the Chargers (1-1), answering Matt Ammendola's tying field goal, marched to the Kansas City 3. Justin Herbert was eyeing tight end Gerald Everett when Watson, a seventh-round pick making his first start, stepped in front of the pass with 10:29 to go and ran nearly untouched the other way to the end zone.
Things became worse for the Chargers (1-1) two series later when Herbert was drilled by Mike Danna delivering a throw. He left the field clutching his side, returned one play later, then threw an incompletion that forced the Chargers to punt.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire promptly split the defense on a 52-yard run to set up a field goal for Kansas City.
Herbert, who finished with 334 yards and three touchdown passes, gamely tried to keep the Chargers alive. He threw a 36-yard dart on fourth down to extend their ensuing possession, then found Joshua Palmer in the back of the end zone on fourth-and-goal to pull Los Angeles within 27-24 with just over a minute to go.
Kansas City recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock on a crucial AFC West win.
The highly anticipated showdown between two of the league's prolific young quarterbacks, each surrounded by premier playmakers, turned out early on to be a defensive slugfest.
The Chargers held the Chiefs to 13 yards in the first quarter, thanks to relentless pressure from Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack and the fact that Derwin James Jr. was just about everywhere, and kept a team that scored 44 points last week in Arizona off the scoreboard until Mahomes slung a sidearm pass to McKinnon early in the second quarter.
The Chargers fared better offensively, even though go-for-broke coach Brandon Staley opted to play conservatively, twice punting on fourth-and-2 near midfield. Dustin Hopkins kicked an early field goal before Mike Williams, dominating smaller Chiefs defensive backs, put the Chargers in position for Zander Horvath to catch a short TD pass.
Staley finally went for it on fourth down on the opening drive of the second half. And one play after Austin Ekeler picked it up, Williams made a one-handed grab around Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed to give the Chargers a 17-7 lead.
The game appeared to be getting away from the Chiefs when Mahomes was intercepted by Asante Samuel Jr. on their next possession. But replays showed Samuel didn't control the ball and the call was overturned, and Mahomes capitalized on his second chance by throwing a 41-yard strike to Justin Watson for a touchdown.
The Chiefs tied it 17-all on the first play of the fourth quarter when Ammendola, who was signed earlier this week to replace the injured Harrison Butker, knocked through a chip shot on fourth down at the goal line.
That set up Jaylen Watson's pick-6 and the first lead that Kansas City had all night.
PRIME TIME
The game was the first in the $13 billion, 11-year deal between the NFL and Amazon Prime to exclusively stream Thursday night games. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos joined NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the sideline before kickoff.
INJURIES
Chargers C Corey Linsley (knee) and RT Trey Pipkins III (ankle) left in the third quarter. ... Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman hurt his ankle in the third quarter but returned to the game. Danna left in the fourth quarter with a calf injury.
UP NEXT
The Chargers return home to face Jacksonville on Sept. 25. The Chiefs visit Indianapolis the same day.

Rajamahendravaram: Teachers told to inculcate reading habit among students
CAV Prasad, member of State School Education, Control and Monitoring Committee, asked headmasters and teachers to inculcate reading habit among the students from primary level.
Rajamahendravaram(East Godavari District): CAV Prasad, member of State School Education, Control and Monitoring Committee, asked headmasters and teachers to inculcate reading habit among the students from primary level. The State inspection team inspected several government and private schools in the city on Thursday. The level of the students in reading, writing and mathematical standards were examined.
Prasad said that the committee inspected Burrilanka Mandal Parishad Primary School and Veeravaram ZP High School in Kadiyam mandal of East Godavari district. According to the National Assessment Survey, the standard of students in Andhra Pradesh schools is not promising after Covid. Pratham voluntary organisation had conducted a survey and made some suggestions to determine the level of students through annual school report (Assar Report). Accordingly, the education department has formed a State-level committee, he said.
Prasad clarified that based on the instructions of the committee, the baseline test was conducted to determine the exact level of the students. He said that based on that result, the level of the students was recorded and instructions were given to organise preparation programmes. He said that the progress of students in Srinivasa Ramanujan Municipal Corporation High School and Veerabhadrapuram Special Primary School in Rajamahendravaram city was examined. He said that students' interactions and teachers' actions were observed and appropriate suggestions were given. The teachers were told to explain one English word daily to students. Another member of the committee Dr V Narayana Reddy also participated.

An endangered sea cucumber found in Aboitiz Cleanergy Park
16 Sep 2022
Dr. Ruth Gamboa with field assistant, Brian Sabanal, captured photos of the sea cucumbers found at the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park.
The sea cucumber puti-an, scientifically known as Holothuria scabra, is currently an Endangered (EN) species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List because its population face a high risk of extinction in the wild. The risk is primarily attributed to overfishing because of its high value in the fishing trade.
The puti-an is one of the 1,250 known species of sea cucumbers that are related to starfish and sea urchins. All sea cucumbers are ocean dwellers, inhabiting both shallow and deep ocean. Commonly, they are gleaned in shallow seagrass beds or fished in deeper reefs by free- or compressor-diving.
Surprisingly, a rapid scanning conducted by the University of the Philippines Mindanao (UP Mindanao) researchers in September 2021 found the existence of the endangered puti-an at the beach area of the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park in Sitio Punta Dumalag, Matina Aplaya, Davao City. Back in 2015, the team also conducted a rapid scanning of the beach and the nearshore reef. However, the puti-an was not encountered inside the observation transects.
Edible sea cucumbers like the puti-an are exported to other Asian countries that consider it a delicacy. In the Philippines, no specific laws are directed at managing sea cucumbers so high-value species are overfished.
"To be classified by the IUCN as 'endangered' means that puti-an fisheries monitoring and regulations should be in place to prevent the species from being critically endangered or worse, extinct," Dr. Ruth Gamboa, the lead researcher from UP Mindanao, explained.
Holothuria scabra or puti-an in and out of seawater respectively.
Gamboa emphasized that they cannot truly verify if the puti-an has not existed in the area before the recent survey since their team only conducted a rapid scanning of the beach. She says the record of puti-an now is worth another study.
Besides the puti-an, the team also found a Vulnerable (Vu) species hanginan or Stichopus horrens. Vulnerable species means that their population is in a continuing decline and their rate of reproduction cannot catch up with the rate of harvest. "In time, there is a possibility that those species will also be endangered," Gamboa added.
"We are happy about the findings of the rapid scanning conducted by UP Mindanao in the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park. It inspired us to continue our conservation efforts, not only for the endangered hawksbill sea turtles, but for the other marine species that consider the park a safe haven," Rodger Velasco, President and COO of Davao Light said.
The IUCN Red List assesses the extinction rate of species population on a global scale. And sometimes, a global category may be different when applied to a regional or national category. Currently, the Philippine Aquatic Red List Committee of the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) is conducting a national assessment of sea cucumber population in the country.
The sea cucumbers are considered janitors of the sea floor. Their tentacles pick up tiny debris and waste materials that are small enough to fit their mouths. They form burrows in the sand that help loosen up the sediment, hasten the rate of decaying organisms, and mix the substrate preventing fouling of the ocean floor. These 'janitors', keep the coastal ecosystems, such as the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park, healthy and clean.
ABOITIZ CLEANERGY PARK.
The Aboitiz Cleanergy Park is an eight-hectare ecological preserve and biodiversity management site in an urban setting.
The Aboitiz Cleanergy Park is an eight-hectare biodiversity park that is a known nesting ground for the Critically Endangered (CR) hawksbill turtles and is now a haven for other threatened marine species such as the sea cucumbers. The park is also considered as a haven for over 100 bird species, wherein 12 species are endemic in the Philippines.
The Aboitiz Cleanergy Park supports scientific studies for its management programs. It is managed by AboitizPower subsidiary Davao Light and Power Co., Inc., and Aboitiz Foundation, Inc., the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of the Aboitiz Group. #

RAEFORD, N.C. (WNCN) — After a robbery and kidnapping at a gas station in Raeford Tuesday evening, the community is on high alert.
“I’m watching… I’m watching out. I won’t come at night anymore and get gas. It’s crazy,” said Cornelius Kelly while filling up his car at the Lucky Stop gas station near Highway 401 and Rockfish Road.
Kelly said he and several others in the Raeford community learned about the kidnapping at the business earlier in the week.
The Hoke County Sheriff’s Office said they are continuing to search for two masked men who approached a family while they were filling up their car at the gas station late Tuesday night.
Investigators said one of the men pointed a gun at the adults who were standing near the pump. The business showed CBS 17 surveillance video of the men who quickly jumped in the car and took off.
You could see one of the adults chasing the car, but the suspects got away. A mile down the road, the suspects dropped the children off at another gas station.
“They shouldn’t have taken the car at all. But the kids, that’s something you don’t play with right there,” said Kelly.
The father of four said the gas station is located near his home and is still a convenient stop. However, Kelly made sure to bring a gun on his hip for his own safety Thursday after learning about the situation.
Melissa Johnson who also lives near the business said she made sure to bring a friend while going to get gas. She said,
“I don’t ever feel like coming here by myself at night or driving to any other gas station by myself,” said Johnson. “Not unless I have somebody else in the car.”
Johnson said she was relieved to learn that the children who were in the car were able to get out of the vehicle safely and reunite with their family.
“Who would have thought this situation would’ve happened on a busy street like this,” she asked.
Hoke County Sheriff’s Deputies said they have had a lot of help from people’s tips during their investigation. They told CBS17 News that they have a lead on one of the suspects. They are continuing to ask anyone who has information to reach out and call 910-875-5111.

Uber said Thursday that it reached out to law enforcement after a hacker apparently breached its network. A security engineer said the intruder provided evidence of obtaining access to crucial systems at the ride-hailing service.
There was no indication that Uber’s fleet of vehicles or its operation was in any way affected.
“It seems like they’ve compromised a lot of stuff,” said Sam Curry, an engineer with Yuga Labs who communicated with the hacker. That includes complete access to the Amazon and Google-hosted cloud environments where Uber stores its source code and customer data, he said.
Curry said he spoke to several Uber employees who said they were “working to lock down everything internally” to restrict the hacker’s access. That included the San Francisco company’s Slack internal messaging network, he said.
He said there was no indication that the hacker had done any damage or was interested in anything more than publicity. “My gut feeling is that it seems like they are out to get as much attention as possible.”
The hacker had alerted Curry and other security researchers to the intrusion on Thursday evening by using an internal Uber account to comment on vulnerabilities they had previously identified on the company’s network through its bug-bounty program, which pays ethical hackers to ferret out network weaknesses.
The hacker provided a Telegram account address and Curry and other researchers then engaged them in a separate conversation, sharing screenshots of various pages from Uber’s cloud providers to prove they broke in.
The Associated Press attempted to contact the hacker at the Telegram account where Curry and the other researchers chatted with them. But no one responded.
The New York Times reported that the person who claimed responsibility for the hack said they gained access through social engineering: They sent a text message to an Uber worker claiming to be a company tech employee and persuaded the worker to hand over a password that gave them access to the network.
The Times said the hacker reported being 18 years old and saying they broke in because the company had weak security.
One screenshot posted on Twitter and confirmed by researchers shows a chat with the hacker in which they say they obtained the credentials of an administrative user through social engineering.
Social engineering is a popular hacking strategy, as humans tend to be the weakest link in any network. Teenagers used a similar ploy in 2020 to hack Twitter
Uber said via email that it was “currently responding to a cybersecurity incident. We are in touch with law enforcement.” It said it would provide updates on its Uber Comms twitter feed.
The company has been hacked before.
Its former chief security officer, Joseph Sullivan, is currently on trial on allegations he arranged to pay hackers $100,000 to cover up a 2016 high-tech heist in which the personal information of about 57 million customers and drivers was stolen.

Lawsuit by a former bartender at exclusive Rancho Santa Fe country club alleges sexual harassment
A former bartender at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, one of the nation’s most exclusive country clubs, filed a lawsuit alleging that she was subject to sexual harassment during her five years working there.
A complaint filed against the club Aug. 12 in San Diego County Superior Court also includes allegations of failure to provide meal and rest periods, itemized wage statement violations, and breach of contract.
Stephen Gibson, CEO of The Bridges, said via email that the club is taking the allegations “very seriously.”
“The Bridges has engaged a third party to conduct a neutral investigation,” Gibson said. “We cannot comment further on a pending investigation or litigation matter.
Kirsten Tiger, the plaintiff in the case, was 24 when she began working at The Bridges in 2017, according to the complaint. Tiger alleges that she was propositioned for sex and was the target of other sexual misconduct among a few club members and a security guard before resigning in April 2022. She alleges that she reported the allegations to multiple superiors, but no action was taken.
Tyler Belong, an attorney representing Tiger, said she “just wanted to continue to work without being harassed.”
“Our firm believes that all women, like Ms. Tiger, have the right to work in an environment free from harassment on the basis of sex, regardless if it is an exclusive country club comprised of wealthy members,” he said.
One member, Tim Blansett, allegedly offered her up to $30,000 for sex, according to the complaint. Reached by phone, Blansett immediately hung up. His attorney, Courtney L. Baird of Duane Morris, emailed a statement.
“Anyone can make inflammatory allegations of sexual harassment that have no merit,” she said. “My client vehemently denies the allegations made against him in the complaint filed against The Bridges Club at Rancho Santa Fe. We will vigorously defend my client’s reputation and look forward to the truth coming out.”
Another member, Ben Walderman, allegedly sent her texts asking to “hook up” and sent half naked pictures of himself, according to the complaint. The actual texts were not included in the complaint. Attempts to reach Walderman by phone and at a Rancho Santa Fe address listed for him were unsuccessful.
Lorne Abrams, also a member, allegedly asked Tiger if she or her friends needed a sugar daddy, and followed up with a message that he was “totally serious” about the offer, the complaint said. Abrams declined comment.
A security guard at The Bridges, who is not named in the complaint, also allegedly propositioned Tiger and pulled her hair as she got into her car one day, according to the complaint.
Tiger is seeking a jury trial for damages, including wages that she alleges the club still owes her.
The case was assigned to Judge Timothy Taylor, according to the court’s register of actions. A case management conference is scheduled for Jan. 13.

Shares of cybersecurity company IronNet Inc. touched a 52-week low Thursday, a day after the company reported its second-quarter financial results and announced management changes and a planned reduction in headcount.
The company said it was withdrawing guidance for fiscal 2023 revenue and annual recurring revenue in light of the management changes, further restructuring of the company and the underperformance of its transactional business this quarter. In June, the company said it expected fiscal year 2023 revenue of $34 million.
At 12:12 p.m. ET, shares were trading 39% lower at $1.34 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume at the time topped 8 million shares, above the stock's 65-day average volume of 902,875 shares.
Earlier in the session, the stock touched a 52-week low of $1.11.
After the market closed Wednesday, the company reported a second-quarter loss of 28 cents a share on revenue of $6.61 million.
It said co-Chief Executive Officer William Welch will resign from the position and the board with the restructuring of the business, which includes a headcount reduction of about 35%. In July, the company said it would cut about 17% of its staff.
On Thursday, IronNet was moved to a sell recommendation from neutral by BTIG and Jefferies cut the company to underperform from hold and lowered its price target on the company's stock to $1 a share from $2.25, as reported by Benzinga.

Kansas City’s defense made timely plays, including a 99-yard interception returned for a touchdown, to overcome a sputtering offense, as the Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 on Thursday Night Football.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns, but Kansas City was held in check offensively for most of their home opener. Los Angeles’s defense gave them ample opportunities to run away with the contest, but LA couldn’t ever get away from the Chiefs, despite leading 10-0 early.
Rookie Defensive Back Jaylen Watson turned the tide for the Chiefs with just over 10 minutes to go, after the Chargers had driven the ball down to the Kansas City three yard line, but an out route from Quarterback Justin Herbert was off-target for Gerald Everett. Watson jumped the route and took it 99 yards the opposite direction, giving KC their first lead of the game, and they would never relinquish it.
The Chiefs are now 2-0 on the young season, but are now the only undefeated team in the ultra-competitive AFC West, as Los Angeles falls to 1-1 and Denver and Las Vegas are each sitting at 0-1 following week one.
Kansas City will get 10 days to rest and recover before heading on the road to Indianapolis in their week three tussle.

Dealmakers, investors descend on Singapore for high-profile conferences
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
SINGAPORE, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Dealmakers, fund managers and CEOs are flocking to Singapore for a slew of high-profile conferences this month, as the city-state burnishes its credentials as a major global financial centre.
While COVID curbs continue to hinder large in-person gatherings in rival financial hub Hong Kong, Singapore has mostly returned to pre-pandemic life with indoor mask rules loosened last month.
Business is booming - hotel room rates are at a decade-high, conference venues have been booked for weeks and restaurants are packed.

"We have had a funny two years being locked down and isolated from our peers, so the in-person conferences feel like a small step back to normality and a big step back into humanity," Rachel Lau, managing partner at Southeast Asian-based investment firm RHL Ventures.
The first of these events starting Monday is SuperReturn Asia, an annual private equity and venture capital industry conference being held in Singapore for the first time instead of Hong Kong as usual.
Some 1,000 executives from over 40 countries are expected to participate over four days - a record number for the event and which compares with about 800 in 2019. Delegates are paying as much as 4,000 pounds ($4,600) to attend.
"We've been planning the event for many months now," said Dorothy Kelso, global head of SuperReturn, adding that demand for the chance to meet physically in Asia was high amongst the international community.
Other conferences in Singapore this month include the Milken Institute Asia Summit run by U.S. billionaire Michael Milken's think tank, the Forbes Global CEO conference and Token2049, a crypto event that will also take place in the city for the first time.
The conferences, which offer networking opportunities with investors from India and China as well as sovereign wealth funds, will be attended by executives from investment giants such as Carlyle Group, PIMCO and Franklin Templeton.
Indian and Southeast Asian startups and representatives from cryptocurrency exchanges OKX and FTX will also be attending.
The revival in Singapore conference activity puts it on a similar footing to New York where big business gatherings have resumed. London has also largely returned to pre-pandemic levels of in-person gatherings in recent months, although smaller-scale events are more common than bigger multi-day conferences.
SINGAPORE VS HONG KONG
Singapore is also set to see a surge in tourism with the F1 night race resuming at end-September after a two-year hiatus. Other major tourist draws being organised include concerts by Maroon 5 and Guns N' Roses in November.
"Singapore has come roaring back," said Curtis Chin, a former U.S. ambassador to the Asian Development Bank and an Asia Fellow at the Milken Institute.
Singapore has long been locked in fierce competition with Hong Kong to be considered Asia's premier financial centre with both cities keen to lure global banks as well as wealth and asset managers.
But Hong Kong's unrelenting COVID curbs have battered its economy and standing as a financial centre. It is one of the few places in the world still requiring arriving travellers to quarantine.
Its restrictions have only added to an exodus of finance and business talent in recent years as Beijing began to exert more control over Hong Kong's government and limit freedoms - all of which has worked in Singapore's favour.
"With Hong Kong increasingly linked to mainland China both economically and policy-wise, Singapore is able to further differentiate itself as a controller of its own destiny and as a hub for major international events," said Chin.
Wealthy families, especially from China, and super-rich individuals have set up hundreds of so-called 'family offices', tapping into Singapore's generous tax incentives and stable political system.
Singapore authorities have also just unveiled new work visa rules to attract executives earning at least S$30,000 ($21,300) a month, hoping to draw in global "rainmakers". read more

Dean of Westminster David Hoyle: Who is the man leading the Queen's funeral?
- Published
Preparations are being made for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, when the nation will say a final farewell to Britain's longest-reigning monarch.
The funeral, which can be watched on TV, heard on radio and followed online, will be conducted by the Dean of Westminster the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle MBE, who said the service would be "living tradition in action".
It will be held at Westminster Abbey on a special bank holiday, on Monday 19 September, and is expected to be attended by leaders and dignitaries from around the world.
What is Dr Hoyle's background?
David Hoyle was born in 1957 in Lancashire. He studied history and theology at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1980.
He was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1986 and as a priest in 1987.
Dr Hoyle, who became the 39th Dean of Westminster in 2019 following the retirement of John Hall, is responsible for overseeing the spiritual side of Westminster Abbey.
He has previously worked as chaplain and fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge; vicar of Christ Church, Southgate; and director of ministry and canon residentiary at Gloucester Cathedral.
He was also the Dean of Bristol.
Dr Hoyle also attended the Grenfell fire memorial service at Westminster Abbey on 14 June, the fifth anniversary of the tragedy.
What kind of leader will he be?
Dr Hoyle will be "appropriately concerned" but "confident" in leading the Queen's funeral, his former colleagues have said.
"David is a professional - a consummate professional - and he will know his place and he will have the confidence of knowing the context in which he is operating," said John Savage, lay canon and treasurer of Bristol Cathedral, who worked with Dr Hoyle for nine years.
On watching him lead, Dr Savage said: "I'll be proud. I will be saying to folk with me, 'I know him; he's my mate.' He's the right man for doing this.
"We couldn't have asked for a better arrangement really as a country."
Rita Banfield, who was in charge of Dr Hoyle's robes when he was Dean of Bristol said he would be feeling "some trepidation and some fulfilment of his destiny".
"He must have known when he was appointed only a very short time ago that the inevitable could happen during his time as dean," she said.
What has he said?
Dr Hoyle declined to comment on the exact contents of the service, but said it would be an opportunity to mourn and give thanks for the Queen's "extraordinary life".
"I think, like any funeral, this is an opportunity for us to mourn because we've lost someone we held dear and respected," he said.
"This is an opportunity for us to give thanks for an extraordinary life and an extraordinary achievement, this is an opportunity for us to pray for our new King and for his family in their grief, and this is an opportunity, if you like, for us to give the grief somewhere to go.
"A nation and Commonwealth, quite frankly the whole world, will be paying attention and the abbey will be a bit of a crucible holding all that, if you like."
The abbey has been the setting for all but two coronations of English monarchs since 1066. It is also where Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip in 1947, five years before she became Queen.
When asked if the funeral would feature modern updates, Dr Hoyle said: "I'll wait and see because I'm not going to comment on the content of the service.
"But this is Westminster Abbey, this is Her Majesty the Queen; I think you can assume that you're going to see tradition in action, living tradition in action."

I want to spoil my kids.
Deliberately, and without remorse.
I want to take
. . . them to church week after week and let them set out too long in the warmth of God’s love expressed by the fellowship of believers.
I want to throw
. . . them into a bushel of saints—young ones and old ones and in-betweens—so that they’ll come into contagiously close contact.
I want to overexpose
. . . them to God’s glory shining through the Word of God, glowing on the faces of His people, radiating from the presence of the Holy Spirit, reflecting through earnest and powerful prayer.
I want to overindulge
. . .their quest for freedom and wholeness and fulfillment by bringing them to the foot of a lonely cross. There, sin is obliterated by the blood of Jesus and both self-worship and self-destruction are crucified with Christ “so that they may take hold of that which is truly life” (1 Timothy 6:19).
I want to cater
. . . to their desire to “see it all” and “have it all.” I will help remove the shortsightedness of only earthly living and surrealism of culture that envelops them, so that they may glimpse the hope to which they are called and grasp the reality of immortality.
The Lord leading me, I want to do my best to spoil them for this world, so that it never really satisfies. So that they have seen too much and understood too deeply to buy into its message. So they demand far more than the world can supply and expect far too much for it to satisfy, and so that they know Who can fulfill their longing.
I know that all my spoiling can’t preserve them. They have a choice. I just want to do all I can to spoil their likelihood of choosing wrong.
I want to spoil my kids.
On purpose and beyond salvaging.
It’s the best method of preservation I know.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hanging out with Richard Nixon's daughter Tricia at a White House “supper-dance.” Swapping stories with Ronald Reagan about horseback riding. Bending the ears of Donald Trump and Joe Biden about climate change.
King Charles III, who became head of state following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has made the acquaintance of 10 of the 14 U.S. presidents who have held office since he was born in 1948.
He was just 10 when he checked off his first president in 1959. That was when Dwight Eisenhower visited the queen and her family at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she died on Sept. 8 after a 70-year-reign.
“I guess you can’t start too early,” said Barbara A Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. She noted that Charles’ grandson, Prince George, was a toddler when Kensington Palace released a photograph of him shaking hands with Barack Obama during the president’s trip to London in 2016.
Charles never met Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson and John F. Kennedy, Perry said.
His encounters with U.S. presidents included what he recalled as an “amusing” weekend visit to Nixon White House in 1970 with his sister Anne, when the 20-year-old future king — one of the world's most eligible bachelors — sensed there was an effort afoot to set him up.
"That was the time when they were trying to marry me off to Tricia Nixon,” he later recalled.
The king has chatted up presidents on his visits to the U.S. and met others when they traveled in the United Kingdom. He was in the company of Donald Trump, Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush when he represented the British monarchy at the state funeral for former President George H.W. Bush in 2018 in Washington.
Charles met President Joe Biden last year at a climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
The royal has visited America about 20 times since that memorable first trip in the Nixon years, he told CNN last year.
The royal siblings had been invited to Washington by Nixon's daughters and son-in-law, Tricia Nixon, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and her husband, David Eisenhower, grandson of President Eisenhower, for that three-day visit in July 1970.
The young VIPs had a packed schedule that included frolicking at the Camp David presidential retreat, a nighttime tour of Washington's monuments, museum visits, a luncheon cruise down the Potomac River to George Washington's estate at Mount Vernon, Virginia, a dance on the South Lawn for 700 guests, and a Washington Senators baseball game.
Charles and Nixon also met in the Oval Office. But if the president had his heart set a union between his family and the royals, it wasn't meant to be.
In June 1971, less than a year after Charles' visit, Tricia married longtime beau Edward Cox in the White House Rose Garden. A decade later, in July 1981, Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. They divorced in 1996.
Nixon, himself, had pushed for Charles to visit the U.S. for the perceived public relations bonanza, according to a January 1970 memo he sent his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger.
“I think this could do an enormous amount of good for U.S.-British relations,” Nixon said. He wrote that he'd been told that Charles “is the real gem” of the royal family and "makes an enormously favorable impression wherever he goes.”
Charles returned the praise in a thank-you note.
“The kindness shown to us at the White House was almost overwhelming and for that we are immensely grateful," the prince wrote to Nixon. "Both my sister and I take back to Britain the most heartwarming evidence of what is known as the special relationship between our two countries and of the great hospitality shown to us by you and your family."
Many of the former Prince of Wales' conversations with recent U.S. presidents centered on his interest in tackling climate change. Charles has campaigned for the environment for 50 years, but he acknowledged after becoming king that his new role requires that he set aside his activism on that and other issues.
Charles, 73, and Biden, 79, discussed global cooperation on the climate crisis last year while both attended a summit in Glasgow, Scotland. They also met at Buckingham Palace in June 2021 at a reception the queen hosted before a world leaders' summit in Cornwall.
Biden rejoined the 2015 Paris climate agreement after Trump as president withdrew the U.S. from the accord.
Biden and the king spoke on Wednesday, with Biden offering his condolences over the queen.
Trump has said that during his visit with Charles, the former prince “did most of the talking” and pressed him on climate during a scheduled 15-minute meeting that stretched to 90 minutes in 2019 at Charles' residence in London.
During a three-day visit to Washington in 2011, Charles, an advocate of environmentally friendly farming, met with President Obama. In a speech, he praised Michelle Obama's campaign against childhood obesity and hunger, and U.S. manufacturers' efforts to produce healthier foods.
He criticized U.S. government subsidies for large-scale agriculture and encouraged increased business and government support for organic and environmentally friendly food production.
In his toast at a White House dinner in 2005, the future king told President George W. Bush that the world looks to the United States “for a lead on the most crucial issues that face our planet and, indeed, the lives of our grandchildren.
“Truly, the burdens of the world rest on your shoulders,” he said.
In the remarks, Charles also said the trip reminded him of his first visit to America, “when the media were busy trying to marry me off to Tricia Nixon."
Visiting with Reagan in the Oval Office in 1981, the two discussed their interest in horseback riding as a steward brought tea. But it was not served the British way.
Of the experience, Reagan later wrote in his diary:
“The ushers brought him tea -- horror of horrors they served it our way with a tea bag in the cup. It finally dawned on me that he was just holding the cup and finally put it down on the table. I didn't know what to do,” Reagan confessed.

When I was a kid, I only wanted one thing for Christmas: Lego, and preferably lots of it! It should come as no surprise then, that I have enjoyed the many licenced video games such as the recent Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Still, for all their fun Traveller's Tales never did a good job of recreating the childhood experience of playing with Lego bricks as, aside from some automated puzzles, you never actually got to build anything. Admittedly, Lego Worlds gave you plenty of tools for doing just that, but it still ended up feeling more like Minecraft.
Now, it finally seems that my childhood memories will be reconstructed in the digital realm. At least is the intention with the upcoming Lego Bricktales, that is being developed by the Innsbruck-based ClockStone Studio. "Head Up, now Thunderful, was contacted three years ago by Lego. They wanted to make a game where building with bricks, would be at the core of the game," explains project manager at Clockstone Studio Mathias Hilke.
That destruction has been traded in for construction, can be felt right from the beginning of the Gamescom demo where I was tasked with repairing a broken generator. First, I needed to construct a staircase for my mini figure to move forward. Later, I also had to build the missing parts of the generator. The game provides you with a few hints and pointers, but nothing resembling the thorough instruction booklets provided with the physical toys. Here you are left to your own devices and the initially quite simple task quickly begins to feel like actual puzzles.
Fortunately, the game gives you a quick crash course in civil engineering that I'm sure anyone will be able to pass thanks to intuitive controls and a balanced learning curve. The first few constructions are already nearly complete, and you are just applying the finishing touches, while at the same time learning how to rotate bricks, navigating the three-dimensional building space, and other useful tricks. With the generator complete, I'm sent through a portal and whisked away to my next destination, a lush jungle environment that serves as one of the games five levels or hubs. "You travel to the desert, the jungle, the medieval times, and also to the pirates in the Caribbean," Mathias Hilke tells us. "In the course of the game, you will also get more and more bricks, with a ton of different colours and decorative elements."
There is a story tying it all together involving your eccentric grandpa and his neglected amusement park. By helping people, you are able to collect so-called happiness crystals, which can be used to restore the park to its former glory - you even get to visit the theme park and decorate it yourself. I think it's fair to say, that this setup will probably not lead to storytelling in the vein of Lego: The Movie or the surprisingly touching Lego Builder's Journey. But it still seems like a fun, light-hearted journey, and the characters I met during my jungle expedition all had plenty of personality and fun dialogue.
Perhaps not unsurprisingly, as the developer previously made Bridge Simulator, where physics play a major part in the game's puzzle design. Thanks to the bricks' modular and flexible design, you are pretty much free to build in any way you please - but whether your constructions will hold is a different story entirely. Your carefully constructed bridge or ladder will quickly turn into a pile of bricks if you have neglected to provide proper support.
As I got further into the jungle, my abilities expanded. New powers such as a whip and a ground stomp allowed me to scale cliffs and remove dense vegetation. At the same time, I also got new bricks to play with. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and little by little my various construction jobs grew in complexity.
The last one was by far the most exciting, as I was tasked with building a helicopter. From scratch. This proved quite a challenge, as I not only had to make room for the large propeller, but also had to make the sure the helicopter was probably balanced. My first attempt proved a disaster as my homemade chopper had barely left the ground before it started flying backwards due to an excessive number of bricks in the rear. A few adjustments later and my helicopter lifted straight into air: And into the game as well, as your finished constructions are transported directly into the game world with all their little quirks and all.
All this building would probably feel a bit unfair (after all the developer is supposed to design assets, not you) if not for the fact that Clock Stone has done a marvellous job in constructing the environment themselves. Everything, as in everything, is made of Lego, and the characters move in an exaggerated, stop motion-kind of way. Yes, Lego: The Movie did the same, but this feels much more like an actual playset thanks to the overhead perspective and the limited play space. Pause the game, zoom out, and you might, for a moment at least, feel like the whole game is taking place on the floor of your childhood room, and not on your computer screen.
With its beautiful art and intriguing concept, Lego Bricktales already had my attention prior to Gamescom. Now, after having played it, I kind of fell like a child again with Lego, for the first time in nearly twenty years, at the very top of my wishlist.

LONDON (AP) — The U.N. atomic agency’s 35-nation Board of Governors passed a resolution Thursday calling on Moscow to immediately end its occupation of a Ukrainian nuclear power plant, where shelling of the facility and nearby areas in recent weeks heightened fears of a possible radiation disaster.
Poland and Canada proposed the resolution on behalf of Ukraine, which is not a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s top decision-making body. It passed with 26 votes. Russia and China voted against it while seven Asian and African countries abstained.
The document adopted a markedly harsher tone than previous statements by officials from the Vienna-based IAEA, who largely limited themselves to calling for a “security zone” around Europe’s largest nuclear plant. The resolution says the board “deplores the Russian Federation’s persistent violent actions against nuclear facilities in Ukraine, including forcefully seizing control of nuclear facilities.”
It urges Russia to “immediately cease all actions against, and at, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and any other nuclear facility in Ukraine.” Russia seized radioactive waste facilities in Chernobyl, the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, at the start of the war but later withdrew.
The resolution also appeals to Russia to return control of the power station to Ukrainian authorities, adding that the presence of Russian troops at the plant significantly increases the risk of a nuclear accident. The plant continues to be operated by its pre-occupation Ukrainian staff, in conditions that the IAEA previously described as endangering the site’s safety.
Russia’s permanent mission to international organizations in Vienna, including the IAEA, hit out at the resolution as “anti-Russian.”
“The Achilles’ heel of this resolution is that it does not say a word about the systematic shelling of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which is the main problem in terms of ensuring nuclear safety and security in the world,” the Russian mission said in a statement Thursday, according to the Russian Interfax agency.
“The reason is simple – the shelling is carried out by Ukraine, which Western countries support and protect in every possible way,” the statement added. Moscow and Kyiv have repeatedly accused each other of firing at and around the plant.
The Russian mission noted the abstentions of the seven Asian and African countries, including Burundi, Vietnam, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Senegal, and South Africa.
“Most of humanity refused to support this project,” it said.
Ukrainian officials, for their part, hailed the resolution as evidence of the IAEA’s “adequate response” to the situation around the crippled plant.
“The resolution of the IAEA Board of Governors, demanding that Russia de-occupy the Zaporizhzhia plant, is a good example of an adequate response from an international institution to the actions of a terrorist country,” Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko wrote on Facebook.
Halushchenko thanked the board for “calling everything by its proper name” and accused Moscow of unleashing “a shower of manipulative statements” around the situation at the plant.
He also expressed hope that the seven abstaining countries would revise their positions ahead of the IAEA’s general conference later this month.

Community Choice Aggregation to save money, support renewables
Warwick: Sustainable Warwick will host a talk on Zoom about Community Choice Aggregation on Sept. 28, intended to support renewable energy use while saving consumers money.
A program that can save consumers money on their electric bills while increasing local use of renewable energy is New York State’s Community Choice Aggregation (also known as “CCA”), says Mary Makofske, of Sustainable Warwick, as CCA allows municipalities to cooperate in negotiating prices with an energy supply company.
As concerns rise over energy costs and changing climate, CCA can address both issues, she says. Sustainable Warwick is sponsoring a talk on CCA at its regular meeting on at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 28 via Zoom. Email steeringcommittee@sustainablewarwick.org to get a link.
Once a municipality has chosen to join this program, individual consumers can choose to opt out of CCA, but all who participate support the development of renewable energy and usually see lower bills, Makofske says. She notes that CCA has already been adopted by communities in Rockland and Westchester counties. Through the Rockland Community Power program, over 21,000 households have transitioned to renewable energy through CCA, while saving $3.8 million.
The featured speaker at the meeting will be Peggy Kurtz, Community Coordinator for Joule Community Power, one of the leading administrators for CCA programs featuring renewable energy. She is also a longtime environmental advocate, working on climate and water issues.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced one of the Internal Revenue Service’s immediate spending priorities Thursday now that the tax agency has secured $80 billion in funding: more people to pick up the phone when stumped taxpayers call next tax season.
The $80 billion earmarked for the IRS through the newly-enacted climate, tax and healthcare spending bill (dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act) is supposed to pay for a lot of improvements at the agency, including more auditors aimed at corporations and rich taxpayers, as well as technology upgrades for an agency bogged down by too much paper.
Additionally, the IRS is planning to hire 5,000 additional customer service representatives, Yellen told IRS employees as she continues trying to sell the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act to the public.
Extra phone operator staffing should cut in half the average 30-minute wait times taxpayers experienced this past tax season to 15 minutes, Yellen projected.
In many recent tax seasons, IRS call reps were able to speak with fewer than two in 10 callers, as measured by an internal metric called “level of service.” Next year, the IRS wants to push that level of service up to 85%, Yellen said.
By early March, taxpayers tried to call the IRS almost 36 million times; 7.4 million of those calls were answered by automated responses, while IRS employees answered 2.7 million of those calls, according to a report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
There are lots of areas where the beleaguered, backlogged tax agency could use more people and more money, experts say. Extra customer service was a very visible example, they noted. The IRS lost more than 8,600 customer service representatives between 2010 and 2020, according to previous comments from Tony Reardon, national president of the National Treasury Employees Union.
The IRS still has to unveil its specific plans on how it will use the $80 billion in supplemental funding over the next decade. When Senate Democrats broke down how the money would be earmarked, they said $3.1 billion would go to “taxpayer services” while $45.6 billion would go toward enforcement. Roughly another $25 billion would be for operations support and nearly $5 billion would go for “business systems modernization.”
Upcoming IRS hires would also aim to fill ranks at taxpayer assistance centers offering face-to-face help, Yellen said. Of course, the IRS has to vie for workers in a tight labor market. It’s a challenge IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig has previously noted.
IRS phone service representative jobs begin in a federal job pay band that has base pay stretching from $31,083 to $40,407, according to an IRS spokesman. Actual pay bands can start at higher points, depending on the cost of living where a person is hired. For example, in the pricey New York City metro area, the same pay band starts at $41,981.
Yellen spoke Thursday at an IRS facility in New Carrolton, Md., a site where most of the 7,500 employees have IT-related jobs, according to a Treasury Department official.
The facilities were an example of the modernization that the IRS has sorely needed for a long time — and should be poised to receive with the new funding, Yellen noted.
Next tax season, to help streamline tax processing, the IRS plans to automate scanning for millions of tax returns filed by paper, Yellen said.
The IRS is still wading through a backlog of tax returns that accumulated partly because of office closures earlier in the pandemic, a wave of new responsibilities for the agency such as sending out stimulus checks, and outdated business operations.
The backlog was down to 8.2 million unprocessed returns as of late August, the agency said. Approximately 6.5 million of that sum are paper returns awaiting review, processing and refunds to filers if they overpaid. Another 1.7 million need errors fixed or special processing. The plan is to fully process the backlog by the end of the year, Rettig has previously said.
On Thursday, Yellen took a thinly-veiled swipe at some Republican critics who, in the lead to the Inflation Reduction Act’s passage, mischaracterized the IRS hiring plans as efforts to bring on 87,000 more auditors to menace taxpayers up and down the income ladder.
The 87,000 number was an estimate from a 2021 Treasury Department report that also backfills many existing workers slated to retire in coming years. Meanwhile, while future hiring plans and their precise numbers will include extra auditors geared at rich households and corporations, it will also include an array of other staffers, such as telephone center operators.
The fiery rhetoric has prompted IRS worry about worker safety. The tax agency is now checking its safety and security measures, Rettig said late last month.
On Thursday, Yellen told IRS workers, “I want you to hear from me: that especially amid the recent rise in deeply unfair and dangerous misinformation and threats, there is nothing more important to me than for you to be able to do your critical job for the American people.”
Republicans kept up their criticisms as Yellen spoke. “Instead of attempting to relieve the pressures of inflation, securing our border, or protecting citizens from criminals, Democrats voted to unleash a horde of IRS agents to audit American families and small businesses,” said a Thursday morning tweet from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s office.

Joshuas trainer wanted two or three fights before Fury showdown
London, September 16: Anthony Joshua may have needed "two or three" more fights to prepare for Tyson Fury, but his trainer Robert Garcia acknowledged he could not turn down a "big fight".
Garcia joined Joshua's corner to work alongside co-trainer Angel Fernandez before the second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, who successfully defended his belts in a rematch in Saudi Arabia in August.
The split-decision victory for Usyk had led to expectations of a title unification bout with Fury – but it will be Joshua who faces his compatriot after seemingly accepting terms for a clash on December 3.
The WBC heavyweight title will be on the line after Fury refused to wait to meet Usyk next year, but Garcia would have preferred for the all-British fight to take place at a later date.
"Look, it's a huge fight, it's the biggest fight in the UK and it's a fight that actually needs to happen sooner rather than later," Garcia told iD Boxing.
"Would I prefer it to happen two, three fights from now? Yes, but it's a big fight and it's a big business.
"His management team is very smart when it comes to negotiations and the final decisions, so they'll make the right decision. Personally, I'm not a businessman, I'd rather him take two or three fights before anything huge.
"Anthony took the rematch with Usyk right away, when he could have easily taken two or three fights before that. He took it right away because he wants those challenges too.
"If this challenge is there and he wants to take it, he'll take it. He'll go out and train and we'll do our best job to go out there and win. The fight won't be easy but is it winnable? Yes, we could win that fight."
Fury is unbeaten in his 33 professional fights, winning 32, while Joshua has suffered three defeats in his last five bouts.
With a 'Battle of Britain' on the horizon, Garcia encouraged Joshua to take a trip to the United States for a training camp in a bid to boost his chances of dethroning Fury.
"I haven't talked to him [Joshua] about it [training in the USA], I talked to the management team," Garcia continued. "They all said they would like that, but at the end of the day, it's going to be his decision.
"I think he would do so much better, honestly, training around Jesse Rodriguez, Jose Ramirez and all the young talent that I have. It's not only that he's going to train with them, he's going to compete with them.
"They're going to train together, they're going to push each other and they all want to be better than the other. I think that would help a lot – I would love that."

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

TruDoss Protecting homes from title theft: new blockchain solution available to towns and homeowners
Following increasing theft of homes and real estate, breakthrough blockchain protection for towns and homeowners is finally available
SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Town clerks and leaders across the country are working hard to ensure their citizens and homeowners are protected against a wave of homeowner title theft.
Protecting homes from title theft: new blockchain solution available to towns and homeowners
"It is easy to get a copy of any homeowner deed. It took less than 5 minutes to get my deed, and I was never even asked for ID" said Michael Danforth, a homeowner in Norwalk, CT.
Thieves across the country are taking this easily accessed information and using it to remortgage and steal properties, along with millions of dollars, from homeowners in small towns to big cities. It is happening with primary and vacation homes, raw land and more.
Town officials and homeowners alike are frustrated. Existing solutions can alert to a problem, but they cannot stop the thefts or prevent an altered deed from being re-recorded.
TruDoss (www.trudoss.com) is on a mission to help towns and homeowners protect their real estate through patented use of blockchain technology with distributed ledgers which keeps altered deeds from ever being recorded.
Paul Hartzell, co-founder of TruDoss, noted "recent stories in Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida tell us about people who were shocked to discover they no longer owned real estate they thought was theirs. This is wrong, and we have a solution that is available to towns right now."
Hartzell went on to say "TruDoss can stop theft before it happens by using our patented blockchain technology which uses a cryptographic hash, to identify the digital content immutably, making it impossible to submit an altered document without immediate detection before recording. This is how TruDoss will stop the thieves cold."
The TruDoss architecture allows integration with all types of document and data management platforms and provides this protection at reasonable cost. The service can be purchased by an annual license with no upfront costs and include 100% text search, global security certifications and a complete administrative console allowing highly secure citizen access, while not breaking the annual town budget.

The Edmonds School District Board of Directors Tuesday night heard positive news regarding the district’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, which offers a range of career training opportunities for high school students.
CTE Director Mark Madison presented the board with an overview of the program’s plan for the school year, explaining that CTE is the evolution of older vocational programs. The program’s four-year work plan is reviewed every year to see if anything needs to be changed.
“Our goal is to provide the highest-quality programs,” Madison said.
Madison said the four variations of the program have all done better than anticipated, and he hopes the district can maintain the growth.
The first program offered virtual field trips and meetings with speakers from various career fields during the COVID-19 pandemic when students were not able to tour the facilities or meet with anyone in person. Madison said that while the district’s goal was to have 50% of enrolled CTE students participate in this portion of the program last year, 81% of students attended the virtual trips.
The second program is worksite learning, during which students physically visit workplaces and experience what certain industries look like. Last year’s goal was to have 70 students enrolled, but Madison said they had 82 students all year.
“We anticipate easily tipping over 100-120 students for this school year,” Madison said.
The third program offers industry-recognized certifications that students can earn while still in high school but will be recognized by employers once they graduate and enter the workforce. Madison said the enrollment last year was 1,157 students, which more than tripled the district’s goal of 300.
The final program is student leadership, which saw 785 students in the last year, compared to 415 students the previous school year.
Madison said the school district also received a grant from Washington Alliance for Better Schools, which will provide industry tours for juniors and seniors.
“The grant pays for everything,” he said. “They pay for the buses, they pay for the subs, they pay for the food, they pay for all of it. We just have to get the students.”
Madison said the program’s main goal going forward is to remove barriers so all students can access the CTE program. On top of that, he said the program is working to equalize the male-to-female ratio in both more male- and female-dominated career fields.
In other business, the board briefly discussed the district’s new approach to student discipline. Assistant Superintendent Greg Schwab explained that staff are attempting a restorative practice approach.
“Restorative practice refers to the approach to student discipline which really starts with the relationship between students to students in school and [between] adults to students in school,” Schwab said.” So, when you talk about restorative practices, you’re talking about restoring that relationship.”
Schwab went on to say that staff will also try to take into account factors outside of school that could be affecting a student’s behavior. For example, he said, if two students are acting out, but staff know that one just suffered a significant loss in their family, staff will handle that situation differently than a student who has not suffered any known traumatic experience in order to be displaying that behavior.
“I want to be really clear: Restorative practice does not mean that there isn’t a consequence or an intervention for a student’s behavior,” Schwab said. “We just don’t stop at the intervention or the consequence. We then take the additional step of making sure that we engage in that process of restoring that relationship between the students … or student and staff member.”
Director Deborah Kilgore requested Schwab return later in the school year to report on how the restorative practice is going, to see if adjustments need to be made.
In addition, the board held a public hearing for the district’s Capital Facilities plan. Part of the state’s Growth Management Act, the plan assesses if the school district has the capacity to house the projected number of students enrolling in the coming years.
Snohomish County requires the plan to be updated every two years.
“Given that this is a two-year update, yes we do have adequate capacity,” said Matt Finch, the district’s director of facilities operations. “Look any further than that, though, and it gets interesting.”
No comments were made during the public hearing and the board of directors did not ask any clarifying questions.
Interim Superintendent Dr. Rebecca Miner said she is excited to be spending the year with the district and can’t wait to see what happens.
“It feels very normal for the first time in a while,” Miner said. “We’re calling it ‘normal plus’ because we’re not going to forget all the lessons we’ve learned from the pandemic.”
During the public comment period, Board President Nancy Katims responded to questions raised about district policies regarding transgender students, reading a statement that a group of students had submitted to the board:
“‘You cannot uneducate a student or a person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore,’” Katims read. “And this is what we hope for all our students: That we will help them to not only learn to read, think and problem solve, but that they will be resilient and proud of who they are and what they’re able to contribute to their school, their community and to this society after they graduate. And I’d like to say a big thank you to all of our staff who work to make this goal a reality.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper’s real estate company wants to revoke a bankruptcy settlement it negotiated with the city and county where its abandoned South Carolina practice facility was supposed to be built because it says the governments are making exorbitant and unreasonable demands.
GT Real Estate Holdings had offered $21 million to York County. It suggested giving the proceeds from selling part of its site in Rock Hill so the city would get at least $20 million.
But the county and city have filed separate lawsuits and court papers. York County said it is entitled to more than $80 million in part to get back money from a special penny sales tax that was supposed to expand a road but Tepper’s company used for the proposed practice facility.
Rock Hill sued for $20 million it spent on the project and has asked the bankruptcy case be heard in South Carolina, where most of the people who lost money are located, instead of Delaware, where GT Real Estate Holdings is incorporated.
Tepper announced plans to build an $800 million practice facility in Rock Hill in 2019 to much fanfare, saying it would rival the NFL’s best – such as the Dallas Cowboys.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster and state and local officials aggressively pursued the NFL owner to move the Panthers headquarters across the state line from North Carolina, where they would continue to play games in Charlotte.
Less than two years later, Tepper’s company halted work, saying Rock Hill and York County didn’t fulfill financing and other obligations. Both the city and county have denied the allegations.
York County’s lawyer didn’t respond Wednesday to the latest bankruptcy filings. Rock Hill officials said the city is looking forward to the dispute being heard in court.
The latest proposal from Tepper’s company would lump the city and county in with most other contractors. GT Real Estate Holdings said that would allow those contractors to begin to make claims for their share of $60 million set aside for them in the bankruptcy settlement as soon as possible.
“Unfortunately, the City and County have instead chosen to pursue a flawed litigation strategy, making exorbitant and unreasonable demands well in excess of their entitlements,” GT Real Estate Holdings said in a statement.
Tax breaks from the state for the Panthers were based on the number of jobs created by the team, so South Carolina didn’t directly lose money on the project. The state did provide about $35 million to build an interchange on Interstate 77 near the facility and state officials said Tepper’s company continues to pay its share for that work.
“The only state money committed to this project has been invested in accelerating the construction of a new interchange in one of the fastest growing parts of the state,” governor’s spokesman Brian Symmes said in a statement.
But state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, who has been a critic of the project since 2019, said last week on the Senate floor that the state “got suckered in by the lure of a football team and a billionaire.”

Modernity, because it is a rejection of convention, can bring with it uncertainty. That has been the case with the death of Her late Majesty, the first demise of the Crown — to use the legal term — for 70 years. There has been a wide degree of confusion about how the formal mourning should be displayed. And this has been particularly acute in the sphere of dress.
The House of Commons met last Friday, the day after the Queen’s death, and there was a strong ceremonial game. The clerks were back in their horsehair wigs, once everyday wear, now relegated to special occasions. The Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, more comfortable with pomp than his predecessor, wore court dress under his black gown, and had donned weepers, white linen coverings for the cuffs which were originally intended for drying tearful eyes. He was also wearing mourning bands, a variant of the bands worn at the neck but pleated to give them a darker appearance.
The legal profession was frantically reaching for sartorial modes of solemnity too. Like in the Commons, some judges sitting on Friday wore weepers and mourning bands, as did some counsel, though this was not compulsory. There was a time when such matters were regulated: weepers and mourning bands for judges and senior counsel, and bands alone for juniors. Court mourning would last a week, and was observed for a range of royals; but it was last fully implemented in 1991, when Olav V of Norway (the last surviving grandchild of Edward VII) died.
Despite her great longevity, the Queen’s death caught many unprepared. I’m told that Ede and Ravenscroft, the legal outfitters on Chancery Lane, ran out of bands and weepers on Friday, and one desperate lawyer had to resort to Amazon to find appropriate garb for a looming court appearance (proof that Amazon really does sell everything). And the lack of uniformity, with mourning dress permitted but not required, added to the confusion. It was no doubt intended as a permissive measure, but I wonder if many barristers and judges might not have preferred simple instructions.
For the public, it is usually, if anything, a matter of finding a black tie or a similar female nod towards mourning. I used to work in the House of Commons and always kept a black tie in my desk drawer because you never know, and I was haunted by a folk memory of Tony Blair being caught without access to such neckwear after a significant death. Those who want to go beyond a dark suit can choose morning dress with a black tie and waistcoat, but it is an outfit which too many people hire rather than own these days.
There are some finer details of official mourning which are barely noticeable and bespeak the thoroughness of an earlier age. The parliamentary officials who carry swords — Black Rod and her deputy in the House of Lords, the serjeants at arms in the House of Commons — have replaced their everyday scabbards with black versions kept specifically for mourning. They should also be wearing black cloth covers over the shiny buckles of their shoes, but I confess I have not yet got close enough to any of them to confirm this.
All of this may seem very finickety, and so it is, in a way. But it stems from a profound expression of sorrow at the death of a monarch. Wearing dark colours as a sign of mourning dates back to Roman times, when a darker toga called the pulla was worn, but black became universal in the age of the Georges. With it comes a demonstration of plainness: linen bands, shiny buckles hidden away, because gaudy display is inappropriate at such a sorrowful time.
The observance of mourning has been more thorough than might have been expected. There was a feeling that such stuffy obsequies were winding down, too ritualistic and too deferential for the modern age. Not so. This week has in some ways reset the whole mourning game, so perhaps, in the fullness of time, Ede and Ravenscroft might replace their stock and prepare for more extensive sales next time.

Kerala Congress President K Sudhakaran on Friday suspended three party workers that were involved in allegedly threatening a vegetable shop owner for not paying Rs 2,000 in fund collection for the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'.
Taking to Twitter, K Sudhakaran wrote, "Three party workers involved in an unacceptable incident in Kollam have been suspended with immediate effect. They do not represent our ideology and such behaviour is inexcusable. The party is crowdfunding small donations voluntarily, unlike others who get corporate donations."
Earlier, a video went viral on social media showing the Congress workers threatening the vegetable shop owner over the donation amount for the Rahul Gandhi-led Congress pan India march. In the video, the Congress worker is seen distributing flyers of the party yatra and further demanding Rs 2,000 from a local vegetable owner.
The shop owner is then seen arguing with the worker, saying, "We ourselves are struggling to make ends meet, you should be supporting us instead of asking us for money." Both- the shopkeeper and the Congress worker is seen exchanging high pitch digs and using foul language.
S Fawaz, shop owner, told ANI, "A group of Congress workers reached the shop and asked for donations for the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'. I gave Rs 500 but they demanded Rs 2,000. They damaged weighing machines, and threw away vegetables."
The shop keeper, who also went to the party office, threatened them. The state police have registered two cases after the incident- one was registered against the party workers for criminal trespassing, causing damage to property and for criminal intimidation. Another one was filed against the shop owner among others for using obscene language in public and for criminal intimidation.

The bond between Sebastopol Football Club's captain and coach is nigh on unbreakable, the association having been forged through similar experiences, mutual respect, and shared values.
Indeed, while close to a decade separates Tony Lockyer and Michael Searl in age, the paths they have trodden, and lessons they have learnt, to reach the team's historic 2022 Ballarat Football League grand final appearance are uncannily similar.
That said, the powerful relationship had a rocky start.
"I went to the (North Ballarat) Roosters and Searl was the captain," Lockyer said, reflecting on his early days at the now-defunct Victorian Football League club in 2013.
"I rocked up to training and, every opportunity I'd get, I would line up on Searly.
"I remember my first year; we would be fighting at training.
"I just tried to make his life hell because that's how you learn.
"I wanted to get to his level."
Despite the antagonistic initial stanza, a mighty link was established.
"We became great mates," Lockyer said with a sense of joy.
"We talk every day (and) I love his family, Hollie, Lexie, and Fred."
When Leigh Hutchinson, who had thrillingly taken Sebastopol to the 2019 BFL grand final, indicated his intention to step away from coaching at the end of that season, Lockyer had no hesitation in reaching out to his old sparring partner.
"Searl was the first man I called," Lockyer said.
"He's guided us through unprecedented times and now, three years in the making, we're into a grand final.
"It means so much to so many people."
Searl himself holds his skipper in high regard.
"He is the heartbeat of the team," Searl said of Lockyer.
"He is a completely gifted and talented footballer who has the all-round attributes you'd expect to see at a high level.
"He carries the group through challenging times with such dignity.
"He has the ability to carry the group through challenging times and still make them positive."
Lockyer acknowledges the likenesses between the two Ballarat football stalwarts.
"We had a similar upbringing," he observed.
"He went to Clarendon (Ballarat Clarendon College); I went to Clarendon.
"He was a half-back; I was a half-back."
The duo is cut from the same cloth.
Lockyer is revered, both as a person and as a player across the region, but he was forced to earn his stripes.
"My junior footy at Sebastopol started in the under 11s," Lockyer recalled of his involvement with the club he grew to love.
"I won an under 11s reserves premiership with Chris Parker, who is still heavily involved with the club. I played all my junior up to under 16s.
"In the early days, I missed a lot of representative sides.
"I would come home devastated and mum and dad would deal with me.
"It taught me I needed to work harder."
Searl, who according to former Ballarat Clarendon College 1st XVIII coach, Richard Schomburgk, and North Ballarat Football Club icon, John Polkinghorne, could have played in the elite competition, did not have chances handed to him either.
RELATED COVERAGE:
The Buninyong and Mount Clear junior had to persevere.
"I played in one junior combined team," Searl said.
"I missed out on a couple.
"At the time, Buninyong and Mount Clear were in a transition stage. I reckon I went through three years where I probably only won five games and I was playing two games every weekend.
"I remember going to interleague training. They'd be five blokes who knew each other from North Ballarat; they'd be four blokes from Lakers; they'd be one person from Mount Clear or Buninyong. It was easy for that one to be cut."
When Searl's time at Mount Clear under 16s finished, he had no home club in the district.
This resulted in his first foray into the realm of professional sport.
"I remember going home with (friend) Sam Price to Warrnambool one weekend," Searl reflected with a chuckle.
"I filled in with his team, Russells Creek.
"As a 16 year-old, I was paid $20! I had to get the train back from Warrnambool to Geelong and then I had to get a bus back to Ballarat.
"It was a five-hour trip. The ticket cost $7, but I was thrilled because I got $13 as a bonus!"
Searl's enrolment at Ballarat Clarendon College, starting in 2000, had major ramifications on his future, footballing and otherwise, although he was far from enthusiastic about the idea of changing schools.
"It was my father's move," Searl said.
"I fought tooth and nail because I was comfortable where I was. Dad was saying, 'He's wasting his time; he's not invested'.
"We had a strong family connection to the school with my great grandfather. My grandparents had a strong connection to the school. My mother, my uncles, my aunties all went through.
"I was given the ultimatum: 'Pull your socks up or you're heading to College next year'. True to form, I didn't pull my socks up.
"The move came. I was a little rough around the edges and it took me a while to find my groove and routine."
Searl would become an immensely valued member of the school community.
Schomburgk coached Clarendon to its drought-breaking 2002 Ballarat Associated Schools premiership and knows full well the role Searl played.
"We had a number of incredibly mature boys who thought very much about the team rather than themselves," he said.
"Michael was one of those."
Searl remains grateful for his education.
"I've thanked my father numerous times," he said.
"(Without it,) I wouldn't have gone into teaching; I wouldn't have had the opportunity at the North Ballarat."
In Lockyer's later years of secondary schooling, he also received the opportunity to attend Clarendon.
"It opened up my whole world," Lockyer said.
"It connected me to this huge network. I've stayed in Ballarat and I am back (working at BCC).
"My time at Clarendon significantly influenced the type of character I am today.
"I don't remember the content I learnt in class, but I do remember how to work hard, how to apply yourself, how to conduct yourself."
Searl's talent with the oval ball was noticed by Polkinghorne when the latter was assisting at Clarendon. Polkinghorne's observations led to an immensely successful playing career for Searl at North Ballarat.
"I saw someone who should have been on the Rebels list, but wasn't," Polkinghorne said.
"I asked someone to look at him. He ended up playing a couple of games at TAC Cup level.
"The following year, I had the pleasure of coaching him at VFL reserves level. What took me was his athletic ability.
"For such a tall kid, he was very coordinated above his head and on the ground.
"He read the ball really well; he understood the game really early."
At first, Searl questioned whether he would make it at the Roosters, but those doubts were soon put to rest.
"I knew I'd got in when they handed out the jumper numbers," Searl said.
"Some of the older senior blokes of were getting #47 and #39; I got #29. I thought I had to be a certainty!"
The boy from Buninyong would captain the Roosters 2013 and 2014. He learnt how to manage, and speak to players, and how to welcome, and look after, new people.
"I always felt we were ahead of the game in that area, our methods of trying to include others and build relationships," Searl said.
"I still remember Fitzy (coach Gerard Fitzgerald), after the game, always thanking people who made things possible."
Towards the end of the Lockyer's junior playing days, his ability began to be recognised. He played in the under 15 V-Line Cup and for the under 16 North Ballarat Rebels.
He proceeded to the under 18 Rebels program, but all did not go according to plan.
"I had 12 months of my prime Rebels career impacted by injury," Lockyer said.
"I didn't play much. I lost a year of development. I had really been progressing well, but that put a halt to things."
Following Lockyer's tenure at the Rebels, which saw him invited to two state combines, he graduated to the Roosters.
A year was spent playing in the reserves. Lockyer required patience come his second year in the VFL competition as well.
"I didn't play round one," he said.
"I was a late call-up for round two down at Essendon. I played half-back and didn't go out of the side after that."
At the end of the 2014 season, Lockyer came second in the Roosters' best-and-fairest and he was also acknowledged by his teammates as the team's most valuable player.
Come 2017, Lockyer was appointed co-captain of the Roosters alongside current Sebastopol teammate Luke Kiel, but 2017 was a traumatic time in the club's history.
"Looking back, it's sad," Lockyer remembered.
"We had one win and I didn't play in it! I was Edward Smith of the Titanic, the captain of a sinking ship!
"Unbeknownst to us, behind the scenes, the downfall of the club was occurring.
"We had great friendships, people, coaches, staff, but it was never going to work out for us, no matter how hard we worked on the field."
Fortunately, Lockyer did not fall out of love with the game and the Roosters' demise paved the way for the prodigal son's return to the borough in 2018.
"I had stayed in touch with Sebastopol," Lockyer said.
"I would always say I was staying with the VFL. Sebastopol was struggling and they probably wanted nothing more than to have some VFL players come back, but they never tried to talk me out of playing VFL.
"(After the Roosters,) the easy decision, after having had years of no success, would have been to go to a successful club.
"It was pretty straightforward (though); the decision was always Sebastopol."
A period of prosperity has followed for the club which last basked in premiership glory in 1975.
"The first year (2018), we just wanted to get in finals; we just missed out," Lockyer said.
"Sebastopol had a really good base with the work (coach) Shane Snibson had done and a good young list.
"They'd had the ground redone; their training standards had improved.
"2019 was when we went on that excellent run. We just snuck into finals and got to the grand final.
"The experience of getting Sebastopol into its first grand final in years was outstanding."
As Lockyer was returning to Marty Busch Reserve, Searl was finishing up his time at Springbank where he had coached and played between 2015 and 2018. The period involved four finals campaigns, including two premierships.
"When you played at North, it was no one's home club; you had people from Lakers, people from the Wimmera, people from Geelong," Searl said.
"Going to Springbank, it was interesting to see what a country club looked like.
"For many, it's their sanctuary."
In 2019, Lockyer planted a seed in his old friend's head in the quest to lure Searl to the Burra.
Searl began investigating the prospect, watching games from a distance.
"I really enjoyed the way they played," he said.
"I admired the way they cracked in. They had this ferocity and willingness to keep going."
The broader environment was enticing.
"There was a nice feel to it," Searl said.
"There was a bit of atmosphere there, a good feeling."
The caper has not been without its challenges for the man who is a primary school principal in another guise.
"The speed of the game and the tactical side of things are forever evolving," Searl said.
"There are some sharp football minds with the opposition. I learnt very quickly not doing enough homework on the opposition would get you found out."
While much industry has been required, plenty of pleasure has been gained.
"It probably frustrates my wife, but I am always one of the last to leave," Searl said.
"I like getting around the supporters. I love that part of it, building a connection with the locals.
"I've loved having my children involved. They're very good at calming the situation. You can come in after a loss and, the first thing they'll do, is come and give you a hug. It's just a game."
It might just be a game, but clear ambition remains.
"I took over a team that played off in a grand final," Searl said.
"I want to improve (and) there's only one place to go.
"That's to win it. I still stand by that."
The new era of the Burra has been enormously positive for Lockyer.
"It's been very fulfilling," he said.
"I've created a whole new network of friends and relationships.
"It's great to see the club back up and about. It's not just the senior football; the netball had teams in finals; the reserves made the preliminary final. The junior program's up and running."
Blue and yellow runs through the captain's veins.
"It's been a significant part of my life and my family's," Lockyer said.

Most Canadians prefer working from home, survey finds
BNN Bloomberg
,Expect a 'permanent change' of 25% working days from home: Stanford professor
Almost four-out-of-five Canadians say they like working from home much more than working in the office, according to a survey and report released by the Future Skills Centre on Thursday.
The survey, conducted by Environics Institute for Survey Research, found 78 per cent of respondents prefer working from home, which is a 64 per cent increase since December 2020.
Most respondents said working from home has a positive impact on their mental health.
Canadians from 18 to 29 (45 per cent), 30 to 44 (33 per cent) and 45 to 54 (30 per cent), respectively, all report their mental health is fair to poor while working in the office.
Younger workers are the most likely to say remote work has a positive impact on their mental health, with 51 per cent of respondents saying they feel excellent or very good while staying at home.
The survey found people who head into their workplace regularly are “somewhat more likely to report poorer mental health than those who have been working remotely.”
“New work arrangements and workplace policies should be developed with an eye to addressing both long-standing and emerging forms of inequity,” the report stated.
“At the same time, employers should question why so many workers are reluctant to return to the workplace, and why younger workers who do report poorer mental health than those who continue to work from home.”
HOUSING FLEXIBILITY
Many Canadians are even taking advantage of remote work by moving to locations.
According to the survey, 23 per cent of individuals say since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic they have moved to another community because they have the option to work remotely.
This option is more common among younger Canadians, with 47 per cent of individuals aged 18 to 34 reporting they have changed cities while continuing to work from home.
It’s much less common for older Canadians, with only 31.6 per cent of individuals aged 35 to 44 and 8.2 per cent of workers aged 45 to 54, leaving their community amid remote work.
FUTURE OF REMOTE WORK
Most surveyed individuals (42 per cent), who have been working from home, would like to continue being remote almost every day, while 25 per cent would like to only go into the office two or three days a week.
Only 11 per cent of respondents would want to work remotely one or two days out of a month once the pandemic is over.
Methodology:
The fourth wave of the study consists of a survey of 6,604 Canadians age 18 and over, conducted between March 1 and April 18, 2022, in all provinces and territories. It was conducted both online (in the provinces) and by telephone (in the territories). This wave of the survey includes oversamples of Canadians living in smaller provinces and territories, those under the age of 34, racialized Canadians and Canadians who identify as Indigenous, in order to provide a better portrait of the range of experiences across the country. The survey results in this report are weighted by age, gender, region, education, racial identity and Indigenous identity, to ensure that they are representative of the Canadian population as whole.

Aries to Scorpio: 4 Zodiac signs who easily get jealous of their friend's success
Astrologically speaking, here is a list of 4 zodiac signs that easily get jealous of their friend's success.
Some people see their friend’s success as a source of inspiration while some turn green and get filled with feelings of jealousy. These people are literally envious and are never ever happy with the success or contentment of their close ones. This kind of jealousy is often a result of insecurity, discontentment, and unhappiness and therefore these people are never fuelled with pleasure and always stay with low self-esteem or doubt their worth. These people turn out to be toxic friends who just fake a smile on their friend’s success but have strong resentful feelings within. Astrologically speaking, here is a list of 4 zodiac signs that easily get jealous of their friend's success.
- Aries
Aries-born people are temperamental and moody. They always stay high on anger and therefore they can get insanely jealous when they see their friends performing better than them. Whether it is jealousy or rage, their bad temper makes them get carried away with their emotions while making them insecure about themselves.
2. Cancer
Cancerians do not embrace their strength and weakness and therefore their trust in themselves easily vanishes when they see their friends performing better, which then becomes their reason for jealousy. Cancer-born people are quite a pro at concealing their jealous and insecure nature. They keep their jealousy within and never let others know about their feelings.
3. Leo
Though Leos are born leaders, they can sometimes question their worth and gets insecure about their future when they see their friend's achievements. Moreover, they literally can’t tolerate the contentment of their friends. This becomes the main reason for their enviousness.
4. Scorpio
Scorpios hate the happiness of their friends especially when they are not happy or satisfied with themselves. They feel really bad about themselves when their friends are having a good time personally or professionally and they become all restless, jealous, and start resenting them.
Disclaimer: While these attributes are generic, these are primarily focused on your zodiacal qualities; all the above traits may not necessarily hold true for you.

Which outdoor dining chairs are best?
Outdoor dining chairs are a great addition to any outside space, from the front porch to the back deck. Whether you want to entertain guests or enjoy lounging outside, outside seating can let you expand your living space and liven up the area.
The best wooden dining chairs for outdoor use are the Christopher Knight Teague Outdoor Acacia Wood Dining Chairs. They’re durable, aesthetically pleasing and versatile enough for any space.
What to know before you buy outdoor dining chairs
Location and terrain
Before setting up an outside living space, consider the environment and terrain. This can affect the style, aesthetic, setup and type of furniture you get.
You can set up outdoor dining chairs and other furniture in many places, such as:
- On the porch.
- Beneath a large tree.
- On the patio or deck.
- Near a swimming pool.
- In a lounge area.
- Near a garden or greenhouse.
- By a firepit or outdoor portable campfire.
Wherever you put it, check the terrain. If the ground is uneven, it could make placing furniture tricky. Chairs, in particular, can more easily tip over or wobble when placed on rocky ground. The same goes for wet or slippery areas, such as by the pool or in a dip in the land.
It’s possible to place chairs and other dining furniture outside on uneven terrain, but this could require leveling out the area or adding support to the furniture’s feet or base.
Available space
Outdoor furniture takes up space, even smaller pieces such as dining chairs, so it’s a good idea to know how much room you have before filling it up. Measure the area to determine a few things, such as:
- How many chairs and other pieces of furniture you can easily fit.
- The ideal placement of the outdoor furniture.
- Any potential obstacles, such as a post or potted plants, which could limit the space.
- How many people you can realistically accommodate in the given space.
- How far back the chairs can go when pushed back or otherwise moved.
Once you have a rough idea of the available space, you can set up the furniture. Make adjustments as you go.
Weather and care
Outdoor dining chairs are usually made to handle general environmental conditions, such as rain or direct sunlight. That doesn’t mean they’re immune to damage, though. Common issues with outside furniture include:
- Sun damage from when ultraviolet rays hit the furniture. This could cause discoloration and fading. If the furniture is cheaply made, the sun and high heat could also melt or otherwise damage it. An outdoor umbrella could help prevent sun damage.
- Rust or rot when certain materials, such as wood, are exposed to frequent moisture. If you live in a rainy area or a place that hails or snows a lot, consider keeping the furniture covered.
- Mildew, a type of mold, is commonly found on outdoor furniture and can slowly ruin it.
- High temperatures can, among other things, cause furniture to expand, shrink or warp.
It’s often a good idea to store patio furniture in a covered space, such as a shed or in the garage, when not in use for long periods. This can extend its longevity and keep it in good condition for when you want to bring it back out. Additionally, clean the furniture regularly to prevent such issues as mildew or moisture damage.
What to look for in quality outdoor dining chairs
Style
Outdoor dining chairs come in different styles. Some have arms, and a few swivel. Many come with a cushioned seat and back for additional comfort. This cushion is often removable, making it easy to clean and replace if needed.
The designs and themes are limitless and include:
- Rattan garden furniture with woven patterns.
- Single or solid material and color.
- Minimalistic print or pattern (for example: geometric, floral and stripes).
- Rustic or vintage design or color.
- Contrasting frame and cushion colors or patterns.
- Different shapes for the cushion or seat.
Material
The material used in constructing the chairs is important because it affects everything from their durability to how comfortable they are. Common materials for the frame include:
- Wood: Teak, cypress and cedar are popular, and they are sometimes mixed with resin for a more natural appearance. Resin is used, especially in wicker furniture, because it is lightweight and resists environmental damage.
- Rattan: Popular in wicker weaves, rattan is durable but not water-resistant.
- Metal: Strong and long-lasting, common metals are stainless steel and aluminum. Metal can corrode or rust over time when it gets and stays wet. It can also heat up easily, making it uncomfortable to touch.
- Plastic: Although less durable in harsh weather, plastic chairs are often inexpensive. Some consist of high-density polyethylene, which is stronger.
The cushions often consist of synthetic materials somewhat resistant to weather damage. They include:
- Polyester.
- Acrylic.
- Polypropylene.
- Olefin.
Comfort
How comfortable the chairs are is especially important if you plan to sit in them for long periods. While some have cushions for extra support, not all do. Some use mesh that tailors itself to the way you sit. Others, such as metal or plastic chairs that don’t have cushions or mesh, can be uncomfortable to sit on. There are also ergonomic chairs, which can handle different postures and support the spine, arms, hips and legs.
Sets
It’s possible to buy individual outdoor dining chairs, but most come in sets of two to four.
Additional pieces
If you’re interested in sprucing up your outdoor space even more, here are some other pieces to add to your setup:
- Dining table.
- Footrests or ottomans.
- Benches.
- Standing umbrellas.
- Patio beds.
- Sofas.
- Side tables.
Many of these pieces serve two or more functions. Ottomans, for example, offer extra storage space. Umbrellas, meanwhile, can shield you and the furniture from the sun.
How much you can expect to spend on outdoor dining chairs
This depends on how many chairs are in the set, the materials and the build quality. A small set of outdoor dining chairs usually costs $100-$200. An individual chair could cost closer to $40-$60. Larger or more intricate sets go up to around $400.
Outdoor dining chairs FAQ
Can indoor dining chairs go outside?
A. Most indoor furniture is not designed for outdoor use. Their fabrics and other materials generally don’t resist things such as mold or sun damage. Placing inside chairs and other furniture outside could also lead to discoloration or deterioration.
Can I leave outdoor dining chairs outside all year?
A. Typically, yes. Be sure to cover the furniture during heavy rainfall, snow and hail. Winterizing outdoor furniture can also help preserve it much longer.

Last spring, a Palestinian farmer was planting a new olive tree when his shovel hit a hard object. He called his son, and for three months, the pair slowly excavated an ornate Byzantine-era mosaic that experts say is one of the greatest archaeological treasures ever found in Gaza.
The discovery has set off excitement among archaeologists, and the territory's Hamas rulers are planning a major announcement in the coming days.
But it is also drawing calls for better protection of Gaza’s antiquities, a fragile collection of sites threatened by a lack of awareness and resources as well as the constant risk of conflict between Israel and local Palestinian militants.
The mosaic was uncovered just a kilometer (half mile) from the Israeli border. The floor, boasting 17 iconographies of beasts and birds, is well-preserved and its colors are bright.
“These are the most beautiful mosaic floors discovered in Gaza, both in terms of the quality of the graphic representation and the complexity of the geometry,” said René Elter, an archaeologist from the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem.
“Never have mosaic floors of this finesse, this precision in the graphics and richness of the colors been discovered in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
Elter says the mosaic pavement dates back to a time between the 5th and the 7th centuries. But he said a proper excavation must be conducted to determine when exactly it was built and whether it was part of a religious or secular complex.
U.S. & World
Elter, who has conducted research in Gaza in the past, has not been able to visit the site but viewed a series of photos and videos taken by local research partners.
The Gaza Strip, a Palestinian coastal enclave sandwiched between Israel and Egypt, was a bustling trade route between Egypt and the Levant in ancient times. The coastal strip is full of remains of ancient civilizations, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic and Ottoman eras.
However, the treasures are rarely protected. In the past, they were looted. In recent years, some were damaged or destroyed by development projects or fighting with Israel. An Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after the Hamas militant group took over Gaza in 2007 has ravaged the economy, leaving few resources for the protection of antiquities.
Hamas itself pays little attention to preserving the sites as it struggles to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. More than 2.3 million people are squeezed in the strip's just 300 square kilometers (115 square miles). In 2017, Hamas bulldozers destroyed large parts of a site containing remains from a 4,500-year-old Bronze Age settlement to make housing projects for its employees.
Early this year, bulldozers digging for an Egyptian-funded housing project in northern Gaza unearthed a Roman-era tomb.
Among the few preserved sites in Gaza are the St. Hilarion monastery, which spans from the late Roman Empire to the Islamic Umayyad period, and the site of a Byzantine church that was restored by international aid organizations and opened this year in the northern Gaza Strip.
While these sites also have mosaics, Elter said the latest discovery, in the central Gaza town of Bureij, is “exceptional.”
The Hamas-run department of antiquities described the mosaic as “a big archaeological discovery” but refused to comment further, saying there will be a formal announcement later.
The owner of the land, who refused to be identified before the official announcement, has covered the unearthed portion of the mosaic floor with tin sheets. He said he hopes to receive compensation for protecting the unique discovery on his property.
The patch of land holding the mosaic is about 500 square meters (5,400 square feet) and three dug-out spots reveal glimpses of the mosaic.
The largest of the holes in the ground, about 2 meters by 3 meters (6 feet by 9 feet), has the 17 drawings of animals. The other two show intricate patterns of tiles. Roots of an old olive tree have damaged parts of the mosaic, which appears to be about 23 square meters (250 square feet) altogether in size.
Elter said the discovery is in “immediate danger” because it is so close to the Israeli separation fence.
Such areas along the fence are often the scene of intermittent clashes or Israeli incursions. Just last month, Israel and Gaza's Islamic Jihad militant group fought a fierce three-day battle that included Israeli shelling of militant posts and the landing of some misfired Palestinian rockets in the area.
Elter also worries that excavations by inexperienced people could damage the site. His hope is a professional team can properly excavate, restore and protect the mosaic.
“It is imperative to quickly organize an emergency rescue intervention,” Elter said.

Chuck Schumer Speaks a Little Too Loudly at Restaurant, Is Overheard Saying Nancy Pelosi Is 'In Trouble': Report
With the upcoming November midterm elections, many have speculated that the Democrats will lose their majority in the House. This opinion has recently been supported by Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer when he was overheard privately telling a group of Democratic Senators that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is “in trouble.”
Schumer was overhead making these comments at a Monday night dinner at Trattoria Alberto, a popular Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., where lawmakers often dine, Punchbowl News reported.
“During the dinner, Schumer let loose on a whole range of topics. Schumer spoke loudly, and his remarks were overheard by other patrons in the restaurant — and confirmed by multiple sources,” Punchbowl reported.
The other Democratic senators who were at dinner with Schumer when he made these comments were Delaware’s Chris Coons and Tom Carper, Arizona’s Mark Kelly, Maryland’s Chris Van Hollen, Colorado’s John Hickenlooper and Illinois’ Dick Durbin.
Aside from just saying that Pelosi was “in trouble” since Republicans seem to have a good chance of winning back the House, Schumer was also overheard saying that there was “a 60 percent chance we hold the Senate and a 40 percent chance we hold the House,” if the midterm election was happening at the moment, Punchbowl reported.
Schumer’s doubts about the Democratic majority in the House are a stark contrast to Pelosi’s own comments on Tuesday, in which she indicated a belief that Democrats will actually add to their House majority.
When Punchbowl News asked Pelosi if Democrats would win House seats in the midterms she said, “Yes, indeed.”
Pelosi then added to her comment by saying, “I was just in 12 cities in 12 days. We’re ready. And understand this. Because of the leadership of [DCCC Chair Sean Patrick Maloney], we’re ready.”
“So when the Dobbs decision came down, it wasn’t one of those ‘If only we had known.’ No. We believed we were going to win from Jan. 6 on — well, even November of last year on,” Pelosi said.
“So we’re ready. Mobilizing on the ground … messaging, raising the money. But the biggest factor of all is not only do we believe, the candidates believe. So for a year, 10 months, eight months, terrific people had put themselves out there believing they could win in those districts,” she added.
But Schumer’s comments at his Monday night dinner did not sound as confident as Pelosi’s speculation that Democrats will keep control of the House.
Punchbowl also reported on Schumer’s various other comments overheard at the dinner, regarding upcoming elections, as well as the current political landscape.
In regards to elections and political offices, the Schumer allegedly said that he believes former President Donald Trump will run again in 2024; Kevin McCarthy, the current House Minority Leader, “sucks up” to Trump; Democrats don’t look likely to win the Iowa Senate race; and Arizona’s Senate race will get more closely contested if Peter Thiel, a tech billionaire, decides to start pouring money into boosting Republican candidate Blake Masters.
On more current issues not directly related to the elections, Schumer also reportedly criticized Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia for saying that taxation was like “inflation” for wealthy Americans. Punchbowl reported that Schumer called that “ridiculous.”
Schumer also reportedly blamed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for Democrats’ failure to gain more House seats during the redistricting in New York.
Though the overheard discussion reportedly covered a broad range of topics, it seemed to come at a crucial time in light of Pelosi’s comments and the status of congressional races throughout the country.
Fox News reported that the day after the dinner, Schumer put millions of his own funding towards other Democratic Senate campaigns.
“The dinner came one day before revelations that Schumer was putting $15 million of his own campaign funds toward Senate races for fellow Democrats across the country,” Fox News reported.
However, Schumer’s office has not officially commented on any of the Senate Majority Leader’s overheard discussions on Monday.

Prince Harry will be wearing his military uniform on Saturday when he takes part in a special vigil for Queen Elizabeth II by her eight grandchildren. The Duke of Sussex was seen wearing a morning suit at Wednesday's ceremonial procession after having lost his military titles following Megxit.
It is not known what prompted his father King Charles III to allow him to wear his military uniform but the decision has been cheered by several royal experts. According to reports, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex will participate in a special 15-minute vigil at Westminster Hall with the Queen's other six grandchildren.
Especial Permission
According to reports, Prince Harry, an Afghan war veteran, has been granted special permission by King Charles III to wear his military uniform for the 15-minute period of reflection at Westminster Hall, where the Queen lies in state.
The King made the decision as a show of respect for the late Queen and wasn't a U-turn from his earlier decision.
A source told Page Six that Harry, who had previously been informed he could not wear the military outfit, did not ask for the modification. "He was simply prepared to wear whatever his grandmother made plans for. He's focused on honoring her and that's it. If they'd like him in uniform, I have no reason to think that he won't oblige," our source says.
A source told The Daily Mirror, who first reported the news on Thursday, that it was a "ludicrous situation" in the first place.
"The Duke of Sussex has served his country and is a highly respected member of the armed forces with everything he has done for veterans," a source told the newspaper. "It is important that the Queen's grandchildren are all made to feel welcome and comfortable as they grieve their beloved grandmother together."
Saturday's vigil is a gesture reminiscent of the Vigil of the Princes. It is believed that the eight grandchildren would stand silently by the Queen's casket as a mark of respect.
Unexpected Decision
While the grandchildren will attend the vigil on Saturday, the Queen's children Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward will hold another vigil at Westminster Hall on Friday. Prince Harry has been unable to wear a military uniform until now because of his decision to withdraw from front-line royal responsibilities.
The decision to allow Harry to wear a military uniform comes after Prince Andrew, who lost his titles as a result of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, was permitted to wear his navy uniform on Friday's vigil.
Harry, who completed two deployments in Afghanistan, had his military rank as Captain General of the Royal Marines removed nearly three years ago. The poignant vigil around the Queen's casket on Saturday night will include the Duke of Sussex and his seven relatives.
It is understood that they would stand in silence in a setting meant to resemble the Vigil of the Princes. Earlier this week, the King, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward stood guard at Edinburgh's St. Giles' Cathedral.
On Saturday, Harry will be joined by Prince William, a former RAF pilot, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Zara Tindall, Peter Phillips, Lady Louise Windsor, and James, Viscount Severn.

Zuckerberg's Rude Awakening - Big Tech Just Got Slapped with Largest Punishment of Its Kind
South Korea’s privacy watchdog slapped historic fines on Big Tech oligopolies Google and Meta (formerly Facebook) for violating user privacy.
In a statement Wednesday, South Korea’s Personal Information and Protection Commission said it fined Google $50 million and Facebook $22 million for illegally tracking their users’ online behavior without their consent.
The combined $72 million fine was the largest penalty ever levied in South Korea for privacy violations, according to the PIPC.
Both Google and Facebook collected private data from users for many years, the Korea Times reported Wednesday.
“Google has had Korean users give their consent without knowledge to such data collection by a default setting since at least 2016 while Meta, the operator of Facebook, has not informed or got consent from users since 2018, according to the watchdog,” the report said.
“As a result, over 82 percent of Google users and over 98 percent of Meta users in Korea have their user behavior data on platforms outside of Google and Meta exposed to their illegal data collection, the PIPC said.”
The commission ordered both Meta and Google to provide a clear and simple process for users to give consent over whether their personal information can be gathered or shared with third parties.
Normally, this kind of harsh smackdown would cause CEOs to reconsider what they’re doing and change their behavior.
However, this is unlikely in the case of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who has been repeatedly fined and censured for his platforms’ long history of privacy infringement.
Just last week, Instagram — which is owned by Meta — was fined more than $400 million for violating children’s privacy pursuant to the European Union’s data protection law, Politico reported.
This was the third such fine for a Meta-owned company.
The Irish Data Protection Commission — which has supervisory authority over the General Data Protection Regulation — is currently investigating at least six other similar privacy violations by Meta, according to Politico.
What Zuckerberg’s recidivist pattern suggests is that it’s far more profitable for his companies to violate consumer privacy and pay nominal fines than to follow privacy laws.
Meta Platforms has a market cap of more than $403 billion.
As a reminder, in 2019, Zuckerberg agreed to pay a record-setting $5 billion fine to the Federal Trade Commission for violating user privacy by selling their personal data to third parties without their consent for years.
In a July 2019 statement, then-FTC chairman Joe Simons slammed Facebook for its repeated infringements.
“Despite repeated promises to its billions of users worldwide that they could control how their personal information is shared, Facebook undermined consumers’ choices,” Simons said. “The magnitude of the $5 billion penalty and sweeping conduct relief are unprecedented in the history of the FTC.”
He added, “The relief is designed not only to punish future violations but, more importantly, to change Facebook’s entire privacy culture to decrease the likelihood of continued violations.”
As we see now, even this historic fine had little deterrence effect on Zuckerberg’s behavior.
You won’t believe what he’s cooking up next.

CHICAGO – McDonald’s Corporation is announcing the establishment of a new facility, Speedee Labs, which will be focused on driving the customer experience and supporting restaurant teams through innovation, at its global headquarters (MHQ) located at 110 N. Carpenter Street in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. An example of McDonald’s commitment to the city of Chicago, this new facility will bring teams from McDonald’s corporate office and the existing Innovation Center (IC) in Romeoville, IL together in a new innovative environment creating more opportunities for collaboration and end-to-end development of restaurant solutions and technologies.
Introduced in 1948, McDonald’s Speedee Service System revolutionized the way a restaurant could operate. New kitchen processes streamlined crew responsibilities, making it easier than ever to serve customers efficiently. Now, through Speedee Labs, McDonald’s will continue to define tomorrow’s restaurant solutions.
“Our customers’ and restaurant teams’ needs are changing, and meeting their expectations requires us to work together in new ways,” said Manu Steijaert, McDonald’s Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer. “Just as the creation of McDonald’s Customer Experience team brought key aspects of our business strategy together, the creation of Speedee Labs will enable more of our customers, restaurant teams, markets and global teams to contribute to our innovation, while driving growth and creating more seamless and memorable McDonald’s experiences.”
The new facility will utilize a combination of McDonald’s existing footprint as well as an additional 15,000 square feet in leased space within the same building as MHQ, furthering McDonald’s innovation strategy and delivering solutions for a new generation of customers. Speedee Labs is expecting a phased opening to begin in the second half of 2023, which is when teams currently operating services out of the IC will relocate to MHQ.
McDonald’s moved its headquarters from Oak Brook, IL to Chicago’s West Loop in 2018. In the 12 months ending June 30, 2022, MHQ saw more than 11,000 visitors to the building – a figure expected to increase with the creation of Speedee Labs. Additionally, in that same time span, McDonald’s System had a total impact of approximately $2B on the economy of Cook County.
“I am thrilled that McDonald’s is continuing to bet on Chicago by adding Speedee Labs to their global headquarters,” said Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot. “This new addition will draw even more visitors from around the world to our city, and I look forward to welcoming them as they come to collaborate and innovate with this iconic brand.”
Since opening in 1995, McDonald’s IC has offered live restaurant testing – and more recently remote, and simulation-based training – to help the global McDonald’s System refine operations and develop new solutions to improve experiences for customers and restaurant teams in nearly 40,000 restaurants around the world. The IC has long been a hub for collaboration among the company, suppliers and franchisees on customer-facing solutions and driving innovation within the System. Many strategic initiatives for the McDonald’s System, including streamlined kitchen processes, updated cooking methods, McDelivery and Mobile Order and Pay, were developed or tested at the Innovation Center.
McDonald’s plans to relocate all jobs from its Innovation Center in Romeoville to MHQ’s Speedee Labs, adding to its Cook County workforce. In total, in the 12 months ending June 30, 2022, the McDonald’s System supported more than 14,000 jobs in Cook County.

8 firefighters hurt after firetrucks collide in Paterson
PATERSON, N.J. -- Eight firefighters were hurt, one seriously, after two firetrucks collided in Paterson on Saturday.
Officials say that seriously injured firefighter was driving one of the trucks involved in the accident.
Cellphone video shows the moment one firetruck T-boned the other on Broadway and Straight Street, sending one truck into the side of the Golden Mango Market. The other engine slammed into a tree.
"I was just shopping, and as I crossed the street, that's when I heard it and then I turned and saw," Paterson resident Shameikz Sinclair said.
Officials say it happened just before 6 p.m.
"We have eight firefighters who are injured, one who is pretty severely injured, so we ask that people pray for that individual to make a full and speedy recovery," Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh told CBS2's Thalia Perez.
Both firetrucks, they say, were rushing to a two-alarm fire at an e-bikes shop on Main Street.
"The whole interior of the first floor is completely burnt and damaged by fire," police and fire director Jerry Speziale said.
Nobody was injured in that fire.
Back at the scene of the accident on Broadway, on-lookers remained while investigators worked to determine what caused the crash.
"Just praying for them and their families and hoping that everybody makes it out OK," Sinclair said.
The severely injured firefighter was rushed to St. Joseph's University Medical Center. The other firefighters suffered minor injuries.
Officials say there was no one on the street at the time of the crash, and no one else was injured.

Millions of student loan borrowers will receive automatic refunds soon on loan payments made during the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department of Education shared on their website earlier this week.
The news comes less than a month after President Joe Biden's historic student loan forgiveness announcement: The administration is canceling up to $10,000 in federal student loans for those making less than $125,000 a year for individuals or $250,000 for married couples or heads of households and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients who meet the income threshold. Private loan holders are not included in the plan.
In August, Biden also extended the pause on repayment, interest and collections, which began in March 2020, "one final time" through Dec. 31.
About 9.1 million federal student loan borrowers have made at least one payment between April 2020 and March 2022, according to the Office of Federal Student Aid. Payments made since March 2020 on federal student loans eligible for the pause should now be refundable, higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz told CNBC. Commercially held Federal Family Education Loans (FFEL), however, which were not eligible for the pause, won't be eligible for the refund.
Per the department's website, those who are eligible for debt cancellation will automatically receive a refund if:
- "You successfully apply for and receive debt relief under the Administration's debt relief plan, AND"
- "Your voluntary payments during the payment pause brought your balance below the maximum debt relief amount you're eligible to receive but did not pay off your loan in full."
For example: If you're a borrower eligible for $10,000 in relief, had a balance of $10,500 prior to March 13, 2020 and paid $1,000 toward your loans during the pause, bringing your balance to $9,500, the department will discharge your $9,500 balance, and you'll receive a $500 refund.
"Anyone who has interacted with the student loan system in this country knows that automatic relief programs are the only relief programs that work," Mike Pierce, the executive director and co-founder of the Student Borrower Protection Center, said in a written statement.
An Education Department spokesperson declined to provide additional details on the plan, including how refunds will be distributed, except to tell CNBC Make It that more information about the loan forgiveness program would be shared "in the coming weeks."
The nearly 1.9 million borrowers who paid off their loans during the pause and those who refinanced their student loans during the pause into private loans, such as those offered by SoFi or CommonBond, do not qualify for automatic relief but can contact their loan servicer until Dec. 31, 2023 and request a refund, according to the department's website.
The application for loan forgiveness will become available in early October, a department spokesperson told CNBC Make It, and applicants should see relief 4 to 6 weeks after submitting their paperwork.
Borrowers are advised to apply before Nov. 15 in order to receive relief before the payment pause expires on Dec. 31, the spokesperson added, but borrowers who don't apply before the Dec. 31 deadline will still be eligible for relief.

Heavy rains and floods hit the central Italian region of Marche from the late hours of Thursday, killing at least seven people, while three others were still missing, Italian media reported on Friday.
Local authorities said they did not expect such a sudden "water bomb", as around 400 millimetres of rain fell within two to three hours, inundating the streets of several towns in the Ancona and Pesaro-Urbino provinces.
Footage released by fire brigades showed operators navigating the streets of seaside town Senigallia on rafters to rescue people and evacuate them, while others attempted to clear an underpass of debris.
Emergency services were still searching for survivors, authorities were quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, the leader of Italy’s centre-left Democratic Party (PD) wrote on Twitter that it would stop its campaign in the region ahead of the September 25th national election. - Reuters

BUREIJ, Gaza Strip (AP) — Last spring, a Palestinian farmer was planting a new olive tree when his shovel hit a hard object. He called his son, and for three months, the pair slowly excavated an ornate Byzantine-era mosaic that experts say is one of the greatest archaeological treasures ever found in Gaza.
The discovery has set off excitement among archaeologists, and the territory's Hamas rulers are planning a major announcement in the coming days.
But it is also drawing calls for better protection of Gaza’s antiquities, a fragile collection of sites threatened by a lack of awareness and resources as well as the constant risk of conflict between Israel and local Palestinian militants.
The mosaic was uncovered just a kilometer (half mile) from the Israeli border. The floor, boasting 17 iconographies of beasts and birds, is well-preserved and its colors are bright.
“These are the most beautiful mosaic floors discovered in Gaza, both in terms of the quality of the graphic representation and the complexity of the geometry,” said René Elter, an archaeologist from the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem.
“Never have mosaic floors of this finesse, this precision in the graphics and richness of the colors been discovered in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
Elter says the mosaic pavement dates back to a time between the 5th and the 7th centuries. But he said a proper excavation must be conducted to determine when exactly it was built and whether it was part of a religious or secular complex.
Elter, who has conducted research in Gaza in the past, has not been able to visit the site but viewed a series of photos and videos taken by local research partners.
The Gaza Strip, a Palestinian coastal enclave sandwiched between Israel and Egypt, was a bustling trade route between Egypt and the Levant in ancient times. The coastal strip is full of remains of ancient civilizations, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic and Ottoman eras.
However, the treasures are rarely protected. In the past, they were looted. In recent years, some were damaged or destroyed by development projects or fighting with Israel. An Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after the Hamas militant group took over Gaza in 2007 has ravaged the economy, leaving few resources for the protection of antiquities.
Hamas itself pays little attention to preserving the sites as it struggles to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. More than 2.3 million people are squeezed in the strip's just 300 square kilometers (115 square miles). In 2017, Hamas bulldozers destroyed large parts of a site containing remains from a 4,500-year-old Bronze Age settlement to make housing projects for its employees.
Early this year, bulldozers digging for an Egyptian-funded housing project in northern Gaza unearthed a Roman-era tomb.
Among the few preserved sites in Gaza are the St. Hilarion monastery, which spans from the late Roman Empire to the Islamic Umayyad period, and the site of a Byzantine church that was restored by international aid organizations and opened this year in the northern Gaza Strip.
While these sites also have mosaics, Elter said the latest discovery, in the central Gaza town of Bureij, is “exceptional.”
The Hamas-run department of antiquities described the mosaic as “a big archaeological discovery” but refused to comment further, saying there will be a formal announcement later.
The owner of the land, who refused to be identified before the official announcement, has covered the unearthed portion of the mosaic floor with tin sheets. He said he hopes to receive compensation for protecting the unique discovery on his property.
The patch of land holding the mosaic is about 500 square meters (5,400 square feet) and three dug-out spots reveal glimpses of the mosaic.
The largest of the holes in the ground, about 2 meters by 3 meters (6 feet by 9 feet), has the 17 drawings of animals. The other two show intricate patterns of tiles. Roots of an old olive tree have damaged parts of the mosaic, which appears to be about 23 square meters (250 square feet) altogether in size.
Elter said the discovery is in “immediate danger” because it is so close to the Israeli separation fence.
Such areas along the fence are often the scene of intermittent clashes or Israeli incursions. Just last month, Israel and Gaza's Islamic Jihad militant group fought a fierce three-day battle that included Israeli shelling of militant posts and the landing of some misfired Palestinian rockets in the area.
Elter also worries that excavations by inexperienced people could damage the site. His hope is a professional team can properly excavate, restore and protect the mosaic.
“It is imperative to quickly organize an emergency rescue intervention,” Elter said.

Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Chapek said he'd love to own Comcast's 33% stake in Hulu "tomorrow" but acknowledged the chances of an early deal are "less and less" as 2024 approaches.
"I would like nothing more than to come up with that solution for an early agreement," Chapek said in an exclusive interview with CNBC's David Faber on Wednesday. "But that takes two parties to come up with something that is mutually agreeable."
Comcast has an existing mutual agreement with Disney to sell its minority Hulu stake as early as January 2024. Activist investor Dan Loeb is pushing Disney to accelerate a deal so it can fully integrate Hulu with Disney+, creating a "hard bundle" that seamlessly allows users to view content from both services within one application.
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said Wednesday he would also like to own Hulu if Disney decided to put the streaming service up for sale.
"Hulu is a phenomenal business. … It has wonderful content and I believe if it was for sale, put up for sale, Comcast would be interested," Roberts said at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference Wednesday.
Roberts added Comcast would be up for discussing a sale of its stake before the 2024 deadline, but it's on Disney to start the conversation. "I think it's got tremendous value, and, you know, I'm sure our shareholders share that belief," Roberts said.
"There's never been a pure play, fabulous streaming service put on the market. So I don't know that the public markets are the way to judge the value."
But, as CNBC reported earlier this month, Comcast executives expect Disney to stick to its plan to buy out Hulu.
The question will then turn to price. The best way to value Hulu is to figure out what it would sell for in a theoretical auction, Roberts said Wednesday at the conference.
Chapek told Faber this year's dip in the public valuation of Netflix should factor in to the eventual sale price. In the 2019 agreement Disney and Comcast signed that guaranteed a sale of the 33% stake by 2024, the companies agreed on a floor price for Hulu of $27.5 billion.
"There's a floor price too, right?" Chapek said. "Which, you know, wasn't even relevant 18 months ago, when there's still frothiness in the streaming business, but now that things have kind of calmed down a lot, that floor value looks a lot more [relevant]."
Disclosure: Comcast is the owner of NBCUniversal, parent company of CNBC.

South Korea repatriates remains of 88 Chinese soldiers
Issued on: Modified:
Seoul (AFP) – South Korea repatriated on Friday the remains of 88 Chinese soldiers killed during the Korean War, the first such ceremony since South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol took office in May.
South Korean honour guards handed over wooden caskets with the remains during a ceremony at Incheon airport near Seoul, where they were loaded onto a Chinese air force cargo plane, a live video of the event showed.
The remains were received hours later in China's northeastern city of Shenyang in a military ceremony attended by Chinese veterans of the three-year conflict.
This was the ninth such handover since the two countries -- former Cold War-era foes -- signed a 2014 agreement on the issue, and brings the total sets of returned Chinese remains to 913.
Friday's repatriations are also the first to take place since the inauguration of South Korea's Yoon, who has sought to maintain a friendly relationship with Beijing even as he moves to deepen ties with major security ally Washington.
"Our yearly handovers of the remains of Chinese troops are held on a humanitarian basis, but also symbolise friendly cooperation between South Korea and China," Lee Do-hoon, South Korea's second vice foreign minister, said at the event.
Lee added the two countries would pursue "diverse forms" of cooperation, as they mark 30 years since bilateral diplomatic relations were established.
China intervened on North Korea's side during the 1950-53 Korean War, which is known in China as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
An estimated three million Communist Chinese troops fought alongside Pyongyang's forces, and helped tip the balance of the conflict.
Beijing's intervention saved the North from defeat and pushed US-led United Nations forces back across the 38th parallel, before the war ended in a stalemate that persists to this day.
Casualty figures remain disputed but Western estimates commonly cite a figure of 400,000 Chinese deaths, while Chinese sources give a death toll of about 180,000.

A teacher who was found to have engaged in “grooming-like behaviour” with an ex-student in Perth has now been sacked from his job in Brisbane.
Music teacher Aurelio Gallo lost his teaching licence in WA for at least three-and-a-half years last month after he was found to have engaged in “serious misconduct” with model Bridget Malcolm when she was his student at Methodist Ladies’ College and after she graduated in 2007.
The State Administrative Tribunal said in its findings released last week that the alleged grooming included asking her to send him photos and meet him for dinner.
Mr Gallo, 53, was stood down by John Paul College in Brisbane after the SAT decision was handed down, while the Queensland College of Teachers also suspended him.
But on Friday, school principal Karen Spiller said he was no longer working at the school.
“I am writing to the college community to update you about the matter relating to our Head of Performing Arts, Mr Bobby Gallo,” she wrote in a letter.
“I can now confirm that Mr Gallo is no longer employed by John Paul College with immediate effect.
“The safety and wellbeing of our students is paramount to all we do.
“Clear professional standards are expected of our staff, and this has been a very disappointing episode for the college and our community.
The school will now move to recruit a new leader in co-curricular performance.
“Once again, I acknowledge the courage of the alumnus in Western Australia who has raised this issue and encourage anyone with any concerns to reach out to me,” the principal said.
Meanwhile, former Mercy College students in Perth are being urged to contact police if they have any relevant information about Mr Gallo, who also previously taught at that school.
Principal Lisa Fogliani said in the letter that while the school had never received any complaints against Mr Gallo, the college wanted to be “proactive”.
Ms Malcolm, 30, has spoken out about the alleged grooming behaviour.
The model, who has appeared in Victoria’s Secret fashion shows, said she had “no idea” his behaviour was inappropriate at the time, describing him as a “fantastic” teacher.
“I thought I had a mentor,” she told ABC radio this week.
“I think the nature of these sorts of dynamics is that when you’re in it you don’t realise how unbalanced it is.
“It was when I got a bit older and when the tone of the conversation began to change that was when I started to realise what had been happening, and I started to have feelings and reactions to it.
“I carried a lot of self-blame, I carried a lot of guilt, I carried a lot of shame.”
Ms Malcolm said she was proud of herself for coming forward.
Mr Gallo admitted he engaged in serious misconduct and it was inappropriate, but denied engaging in grooming behaviour.
It was also revealed this week that Mr Gallo had relisted his Queensland home for sale.
According to property records, his $1.3m home was listed for sale on the same day the SAT decision was released.
The massive 4200 sqm property has four bedrooms and a large pool.
It has been listed as part of a potential development site.

King Charles Makes Twitter Users Lose It After Video of Him Getting Snappy with Staff Goes Viral
In the seven decades that Queen Elizabeth II graced the ceremonial throne of England, she earned a reputation for her amiability, humility and relatability.
In the handful of days that her son, now-King Charles III, has taken the crown, he has earned a reputation for repellant old-world royal imperiousness.
This is largely thanks to an unfortunate incident that occurred as he was signing the Accession Proclamation, which officially named him king of the realm, according to Page Six.
While preparing to put his name to the royal documents, the new king gestured rather rudely for nearby aides to clear some things away from the desk he was approaching so he would have the room to do so.
The items that were impeding his use of the desk included a pen box and an inkwell which were both (it may be worthy of note) reportedly gifted to him by his sons, the new Prince of Wales, William, and Prince Harry.
Well, you’d better believe Twitter had a thing or two to say about his less-than-endearing royal behavior.
“The servant must clear my desk for me. I can’t be expected to move things,” wrote one user.

Seriously, I know he is in mourning and perhaps he wasn’t intended to appear as entitled as he did, but the dude has been preparing to be king for quite literally his entire life, which has been a long one as he is the oldest person to ever ascend to the British throne.
He ought to know better than anyone that being a member of the House of Windsor means the eagle-eyes of the British and global public are watching and scrutinizing his every move.
He could have taken a few hints from his famously gracious mother and exercised a little self-awareness.
This was the general consensus of indignant Twitter users.

Some, however, seem to find the incident mostly just plain amusing.
Charles’ brief fury at the pen tray is definitely the highlight of this for me. #Proclamation
— Haaris Aytishaam Mahmood ‘Squishi’ Qureshi BSc MA (@imaginewizard) September 10, 2022
To be fair to the mourning king, he had just given a moving speech on the legacy of his mother and predecessor.
“My mother’s reign was unequaled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life,” he said, according to Page Six.
“I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me,” he also stated.
It appears there are many who think that, if how King Charles treats his royal servants in front of cameras is any indication, he’s off to a rocky start carrying on the torch his mother kindled so brightly for so long.
Whatever the case may be, I think it’s safe to say that the reign of King Charles is going to be a very different period of time for England than the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, whose time as the monarch is likely to remain unequaled throughout history.

Private Equity Guardians Take Tokens Seriously • TechCrunch
welcome to Chain reactionwhere we unpack and explain the latest crypto news, drama, and trends, breaking things down block by block for the crypto curious.
For our Thursday episode this week, we dug into the institutional embrace of blockchain by financial heavyweights, including mega private equity firm KKR, which announced this week that it symbolizes one of its latest funds to provide access to wealthy investors who are a little less wealthy. While far from being a pervasive financial democratization, the movement has garnered a lot of attention, which we’ve dissected.
We also covered:
- A supergroup of financial institutions, including Fidelity, Schwab, and Citadel, are teaming up to create a new digital asset exchange called EDXM. Is this a sign of institutional fervor or just more groupthink?
- The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released a comprehensive report on the energy consumption of the cryptocurrency industry; The report signals future pressures on Bitcoin miners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or otherwise.
Chain reaction comes out every Tuesday and Thursday at 12:00 p.m. PT, so be sure to subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Spotify to follow the action.

Judge appoints special master to review documents seized at Mar-a-Lago : NPR
Joe Raedle/Getty Images
A Florida federal judge has appointed Raymond Dearie as a special master to review documents seized from the Mar-a-Lago estate of former President Donald Trump, denying the Justice Department’s request to block the process, in which the government cannot use the seized documents for their criminal investigation until the review is complete.
Dearie, a veteran federal judge, was a nominee proposed by Trump that the Justice Department did not oppose. He holds senior status in the Eastern District of New York and was first nominated by Ronald Reagan.
Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, ordered Dearie to release interim reports and recommendations “if any” during the review, which she ordered to be completed by Nov. 30, closer to Trump’s attorneys’ timeline request. The government wanted the review done in mid-October.
The Justice Department previously said it did not want the special master to have access to classified documents, but Cannon said that request was without merit. But she said the court would ask the special master to prioritize “about 100 documents marked as classified”.
Cannon also says she is unconvinced by the government’s argument that the FBI’s criminal investigation of the documents is closely tied to the intelligence community’s assessment.
Cannon notes that the Trump team will bear the cost of the professional fees and expenses of the special master and any support staff or expert consultants engaged in the process. Trump’s team originally requested that the cost be split between them and the government.
The Justice Department said it would appeal the special master’s order.

ECB’s De Guindos: Eurozone slowdown not enough to control inflation
ECB’s De Guindos: Eurozone slowdown not enough to control inflation
Inflation
Inflation is defined as a quantitative measure of the rate at which the average price level of goods and services in an economy or country increases over a period of time. It is the rise in the general price level where a given currency is effectively buying less than it has in previous periods. In terms of valuation of strength or currencies, and by extension foreign currencies, inflation or its measures are extremely influential. Inflation stems from the global creation of money. This money is measured by the level of the total money supply of a specific currency, for example the US dollar, which is constantly increasing. However, an increase in the money supply does not necessarily mean that there is inflation. What leads to inflation is a faster increase in the money supply relative to the wealth produced (measured with GDP). This thus generates demand pressure on a supply that is not increasing at the same rate. The consumer price index then increases, generating inflation. How Does Inflation Affect Forex? The level of inflation has a direct impact on the exchange rate between two currencies on several levels. This includes purchasing power parity, which attempts to compare the different purchasing power of each country based on the general level of prices. By doing so, it helps to determine the country with the most expensive cost of living. The currency with the higher inflation rate consequently loses value and depreciates, while the currency with the lower inflation rate appreciates in the forex market. Interest rates are also impacted. Inflation rates that are too high push interest rates up, which has the effect of depreciating the currency on the exchange. Conversely, too low inflation (or deflation) pushes interest rates down, which has the effect of appreciating the currency on the foreign exchange market.

Interview with Luis de Guindos, Vice-President of the ECB, conducted by João Silvestre on September 9
The euro zone’s economic slowdown – or possibly recession – will not be enough to control inflation, and the European Central Bank will have to keep raising interest rates, said ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos, to a Portuguese newspaper.
“A slowing economy is not going to ‘deal with’ inflation on its own,”
“The slowing economy will reduce demand pressures, which will lower inflation,”
“But, simultaneously, we need to act from a monetary policy perspective to keep inflation expectations anchored and avoid second-round effects.”
Add it to the pile of quotes from central bankers in which they show a desire/need to weaken the economy in order to reduce inflation – Orchestrated recessions FTW!

Will Miami manage to be upset in Baltimore? – Denver Post
Dolphins (1-0) at Ravens (1-0), Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS, M&T Bank Stadium
Last line: the Ravens are favored by 3 1/2 points; plus/minus is 43.
Dave Hyde, sports columnist (season record: 1-0): Baltimore 26, Miami 24
The Dolphins are meeting a different Baltimore team than the injured one they beat at Hard Rock Stadium last November. It’s better than the New England team the Dolphins beat in the opener just because Lamar Jackson is under center. Close, but no 2-0 start for the Dolphins.
Chris Perkins, Dolphins columnist (season record: 1-0): Ravens 17, Dolphins 10
It’s a winnable game for the Dolphins, but pulling off the upset on the road may be too much to overcome. The health of the Dolphins offensive line could also be a major factor. Look for both tusks to flex their muscles. This game should be closed all the time, unlike the Dolphins-Patriots game.
David Furones, Dolphins Writer (season record: 1-0): Ravens 23, Dolphins 20
History is not on Miami’s side in Baltimore. The Dolphins may have discovered something last year in the way they defended Lamar Jackson. Some of that will translate into this game, but the Ravens will also make adjustments. Baltimore takes a close one, perhaps on a late winning field goal.
Kathy Laughlin, sportswriter (season record: 1-0): Dolphins 26, Ravens 24
Yes, the Ravens are a better team than the Dolphins right now, and the game is in Baltimore, where the Dolphins have a terrible history. The Ravens are universally favored by a few points, and there’s no reason to think they won’t win. However, there is something going on with the Dolphins right now, and maybe the momentum from the season-opening win over the Patriots continues. Maybe Miami’s running game kicks in. Maybe the defense will rise to the tough challenge of stopping Lamar Jackson. Maybe he’s a little distracted by all the talk about his contract negotiations. Maybe Miami is creaking.
Keven Lerner, assistant sportswriter (season record: 0-1): Ravens 24, Dolphins 20
The Dolphins’ tough running game doesn’t seem to be on track against the Ravens – which could be the difference in the game. Look for Tua Tagovailoa to get the ball out quickly with a battered offensive line. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson should be ready for the Dolphins big blitzes this time around. The Ravens, who withered under the pressure of Miami’s Cover Zero program their last meeting, have won the last two meetings in Baltimore by a total of 72 points. The Ravens also have one of the best kickers in the NFL in Justin Tucker.
Steve Svekis, assistant sportswriter (season record: 1-0): Ravens 26, Dolphins 16
Xavien Howard and the Dolphins hammered Lamar Jackson and company in November at Hard Rock Stadium, but Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium has been a house of horrors for the franchise, with Miami holding an 0-4 record there. In a strangely lopsided AFC series, this will be just the Dolphins’ fifth trip to Inner Harbor in the teams’ last 17 meetings. Remember, a low-production Tyreek Hill outing for the Chiefs in Baltimore last year in Week 2 (three catches for 14 yards) was cited by the Dolphins’ star receiver as an early sticking point in a season that ended with his departure from Kansas City. . Baltimore brought the heat in their opener against the Jets, sacking Joe Flacco three times and then blasting him while pitching 11 times. Can the Dolphins’ already lame offensive line withstand the Ravens’ onslaught?

Erik ten Hag insists Cristiano Ronaldo is still working in top form after missing out on pre-season and praises Manchester United star’s ‘connections’ in Europa League win
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expects Cristiano Ronaldo to score more goals when he is fully fit.
The Portuguese superstar opened his account for the 2022/23 season with a penalty in the Red Devils’ 2-0 win over Sheriff in the Europa League on Thursday night.
It was just Ronaldo’s third start of the campaign after trying to force his way out of Old Trafford during the summer transfer window.
Ronaldo missed pre-season for personal reasons and there have been questions about the 37-year-old’s place in Ten Hag’s long-term plans.
United have enjoyed a resurgence since Ronaldo was dropped from the starting XI after the 4-0 hammering away at Brentford and lost for the first time since that game on their return to the lineup against Real Sociedad.
Nonetheless, Ten Hag insists his use of Ronaldo is all about fitness – and he still expects the legendary goalscorer to be a key player this term.
The Dutchman said in his post-match press conference: “We can expect that when you miss pre-season, so he has to work very hard and invest to get the right fitness and then he will score more. of goals.
“You can see he’s really close when he’s fitter, he’ll finish them. I think (he’s) totally committed to this project and totally committed to this team, totally involved.
“You also see connections coming around him and he’s building connections, so I’m happy about that.”
He added on MUTV: “He needed that goal. He’s been close several times. You (could) see he wanted it badly (but) every time a foot got in between or there was a deviation or misunderstanding.
“We are happy for him and the team wanted him to score the goal, so that’s good.”

Controversial investor Shervin Pishevar resurfaces as Yeezy’s ‘VP’ • TechCrunch
Shervin Pishevar, an investor who left Silicon Valley for Miami after being accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women in 2017, has resurfaced in a role that will seem familiar to anyone who has followed his career. According to a new report, Pishevar is now “vice president” of Yeezy, the consumer brand controlled by Kanye West, which legally changed its name to Ye last year.
In a Fox Business Today article about Ye’s decision to end his relationship with The Gap (he ended their partnership early and plans to launch his own retail stores), Pishevar was cited as a leader speaking on behalf of Ye, saying, “There is only one You. . . His fingerprints are everywhere in our modern lives, our culture, our clothes, our devices, our music. His influence changed the very design of our modern lives, and only one other person I can think of had this ability, and that was Steve Jobs.
While there’s no doubt that Ye is the ultimate influencer, Pishevar has never been short on the often grandiose language, as longtime industry watchers know.
He is also known for hitching his cart to powerful players and for using his own power, sometimes in unsettling ways.
A serial entrepreneur who sold a mobile social game company in 2011 for an undisclosed sum, Pishevar joined Menlo Ventures later that year, winning the company over to run Uber’s Series B. With Uber’s rise to stardom, Pishevar – a self-promoter who said he invested $4 million of his own money in the company – has become something of a de facto spokesperson for the company. , regularly tweeting about her relationship with then-CEO Travis Kalanick. (he keep on going at do this) and, less than three years later, using his rapidly growing wealth to co-found his own venture capital firm, Sherpa Capital.
Things were going very well for Pishevar – he was attracting more and more stories about himself in the media – until one of his projects, Hyperloop One, backfired in a big way. , with a lawsuit filed by its co-founder in the company accusing Pishevar of nepotism and worse. (One of the co-founder’s most salacious claims was that Pishevar’s brother, hired as the company’s well-paid general counsel, threatened the co-founder by leaving a noose in his chair.)
Soon after, those assault charges came with a rape allegation in London. Pishevar was never charged with a crime; Meanwhile, none of the five women who spoke with Bloomberg in 2017 about Pishevar, saying he was using his increasingly powerful position in the tech world to pursue unwanted romantic relationships and sexual encounters, spoke would publicly identify for fear of repercussions.
Their fear was apparently not unfounded. Pishevar is known to be contentious. He can also be intimidating, as this editor experienced before a stage event with him in 2016. (While Pishevar was charming before the sit-down, once backstage, Pishevar and several of his associates m circled as he warned in no uncertain terms that he would walk away from the live interview if I asked him certain questions about his business dealings.)
Either way, Pishevar left California after that, and he seems to have successfully reinvented himself in Miami, living lavishly, finding a new audience for his stories, and investing in startups, not all of which worked out. .
More blatantly, Pishevar lists Bolt Mobility on its LinkedIn page. But the startup, co-founded by famed Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, ran out of money this summer and dumped hundreds of unusable electric scooters and bikes in at least eight US cities.
Attaching himself to Ye – a hulking, combative figure who, like Kalanick, does things his own way – kind of completes the picture. See now how long it lasts.

Objections to black ‘little mermaid’ show ‘racism is real’
Lisa France, CNN’s digital entertainment editor, told “New Day” on Thursday that those who object to black actress Halle Bailey playing Ariel in Disney’s upcoming remake of The Little Mermaid have shown that “Racism is real”.
Co-presenter Brianna Keilar said: “That’s the thing, and that’s kind of, I think, one of the ugly parts of it, however, is that it’s not totally well received. Now I don’t understand, Lisa. Why? ‘Cause we see, I mean, “The Little Mermaid” isn’t real, is it? The “Star Wars” characters, they’re not real. Hobbits. They are not real. Why do people you know why? I mean, I know why, but there are people who are so upset with these totals… It’s not like they’re changing some kind of historical figure, so I don’t even get it.
France said: “Well, you know what is real, racism is real, unfortunately. And people are so offended. I mean, and those who say we’re always trying to do things about race, people do things about race when they’re online, and they’re trying to debate that, ‘Oh, she couldn’t have darker skin because she’s a mermaid and she’s underwater, and the sun couldn’t reach her. It’s about race. So, you know, say, oh, we “Let’s not talk about race. We just don’t want to see this done again. There was no reason for it. I just wish people would keep the same energy for racism as when they’re called upon to talk about racism.” It would be, I want to be part of this world, actually.

NEW YORK (AP) — CNN is shaking up its morning lineup, saying Thursday that Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins will team up as hosts of a “reimagined” program that debuts later this year.
They will replace the current team of John Berman and Brianna Keilar at “New Day,” which airs on the news network from 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern.
It’s the first major programming move announced by new CNN Chairman Chris Licht, who has an extensive background in morning television. He helped develop “Morning Joe” at MSNBC and also produced “CBS This Morning” in the early 2010s.
“There is no stronger combination of talent than Don, Poppy and Kaitlan to deliver on our promise of a game-changing morning news program,” Licht said in a statement. “They are each uniquely intelligent, reliable and compelling. Together they have a rare and palpable chemistry.”
Much of the news Licht has made since starting his job in May has been subtractions, canceling the “Reliable Sources” media show and letting go host Brian Stelter, as well as parting ways with legal affairs reporter Jeffrey Toobin and White House correspondent John Harwood.
The morning show announcement also opens another hole in CNN’s prime-time lineup, where Lemon has hosted the 10 p.m. weeknight hour. CNN still hasn’t replaced Chris Cuomo at 9 p.m. after he was fired last December.
Lemon said in a statement that his last eight years as a prime-time host have been an incredible ride, but that it’s time to “shake things up.”
“I was honestly floored when Chris Licht asked me to do this and I’m honored by his belief in me,” Lemon said. “It’s going to be a thrill ride to take on this challenge with Poppy and Kaitlan.”
“New Day” will get a new name, format and set in the revamp. CNN said those details, including the premiere date, will be announced later.
For Harlow, the change means getting up earlier. She currently anchors the 9 to 11 a.m. hours on CNN, where she has worked since 2008.
Collins, 30, has had a meteoric rise at CNN. She joined the network in 2017 and was named the network’s chief White House correspondent last year. She’ll be leaving the White House, but unlike Lemon and Harlow, Collins was also named “chief correspondent” of the new morning show, meaning she’ll often be reporting from news locations.
Mornings are particularly competitive in television news. Besides network offerings “Good Morning America” on ABC, the “Today” show on NBC and “CBS Mornings,” cable competitors have well-established franchises with “Fox & Friends” and “Morning Joe.”

According to some reports, the incident happened on September 14 when the train was about to reach the Khagaria station. A thief tried to snatch the mobile phone of a passenger through the window grills at Sahebpur Kamal station. But an alert passenger grabbed his arm instead. As the train started moving, the thief pleaded for mercy, and eventually slid his other arm in through the window rails for the passengers to hold him afloat.
As per reports, he kept hanging afloat on the running train for 10 km, after which he was finally let go when the train was about to reach Khagaria. He ran away after being released.
The train snatching incidents are very common in Bihar. Recently a video was shot inside a train in Bihar showing a pickpocket perched on a bridge grabbing the wallet of a passenger through the window.
A similar snatching incident happened in June when a policewoman got seriously injured. She was pulled out of a moving train near the Katihar railway station.
Police constable Aarti Kumari was standing close to the door with her mobile phone in hand when the train slowed down near the station, and the snatchers struck. She resisted, at which the men pulled her out.

'I'm a victim': Nora claims innocence during extortion case questioning
A day after actor Jacqueline Fernandez was grilled by Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing in conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar's extortion case, actor-dancer Nora Fatehi, too, was heavily interrogated on Thursday (September 15). She was quizzed for about six hours at Delhi Police's Mandir Marg headquarters. To recall, she had previously been interrogated by the Enforcement Directorate as well in the Rs. 200cr money laundering case.
- Fatehi is under agencies' radar due to the gifts she received from infamous conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in the aforementioned extortion case.
- Investigating officers told ANI that Chandrashekhar "would try to influence Bollywood actresses [with] his huge wealth of properties acquired through extortion."
- Pinky Irani, who connected the two actors with Chandrashekhar, was interrogated on Thursday, too.
While speaking with the cops, Fatehi maintained her innocence and claimed that she was a "victim of the conspiracy" and not the "conspirator." Reportedly, she also presented screenshots of her chats with Chandrashekhar. The actor also recounted her visit to a "charity" event in Tamil Nadu, where she was allegedly invited by Afsar Zaidi, the promoter of Exceed Entertainment Private Limited.
Apparently, Nail Artistry's owner and Chandrashekhar's wife Leena Paul had paid for her "travel and other expenses" to attend the above-mentioned charity event. Rubbishing the claims that she asked for a BMW 5 Series car to attend the event, Fatehi claimed she was gifted the car as a "token of love and generosity." She also received a Gucci bag and an iPhone from Paul.
Paul told Fatehi that her husband was a "big fan" and made her speak to Chandrashekhar over call. Once the conman, posing as Shekhar, informed Fatehi that he wanted to gift her a BMW, she connected him with her manager Bobby Khan. Shekhar told Khan that he was okay with Fatehi not wanting the car, and it was eventually registered in Khan's name.
Special Commissioner of Police (EOW) Ravinder Yadav hinted that things might deteriorate for Fernandez. "There is more trouble for Jacqueline as she did not cut ties with Sukesh even after knowing his criminal antecedents. But Nora did disconnect herself once she suspected that something was fishy." Reportedly, the Judwaa 2 actor would call him "man of her dreams" and was thinking of marrying him.

Morrisons, recently displaced as the UK’s fourth-biggest supermarket group by Aldi, is reviewing its creative account at Publicis.Poke (an amalgam of Publicis with its digital agency.)
Morrisons is now owned by US private equity group Clayton, Dubilier & Rice which bought it in a £10bn deal a year ago, one of the worst-timed such deals in history as the UK economy was promptly hammered by a number of factors including soaring inflation. CB&R is still trying to re-finance elements of the deal.
Publicis has held Morrisons for nearly seven years after it moved from MullenLowe. The review is via the AAR, with Publicis invited to repitch.
Morrisons chief customer and marketing officer Rachel Eyre says: “We have been working with our partners at Publicis.Poke for seven years and are proud of the work we have produced together.
“A lot has changed for our customers during that time and as we continue to focus on delivering for them, we feel now is the right time to review the market and make sure we are working with the very best strategic and creative partner.”
Morrisons needs both. While there’s not that much wrong with the stores – prior to the buyout its mostly former Tesco management was doing OK – it doesn’t stand for anything. “Making good things happen” is Publicis’ latest stab at the problem but that doesn’t mean very much either.
With Aldi and Lidl supercharged by the cost of living crisis, Tesco mostly deploying its massive scale effectively and Sainsbury’s price-matching Aldi (some of its ads might as well be for Aldi) Morrisons is caught in an uncomfortable bear squeeze, especially as it’s now lumbered with mountains of debt.
Its old ‘Market Street’ pitch for vegetables is dog-eared as they’re no better than anyone else’s and its fresh counters, one of its few distinguishing features (Tesco has axed most of its fresh stuff as has Sainsbury’s) must be under pressure. Aldi and Lidl have a nasty tactic of opening next door to Morrisons, which hardly helps.
So it’s a challenge, to put it mildly, for whichever agency comes through. BBH has risen to the challenge of Tesco which may mean that Morrisons too might look for a more creative solution (although Tesco’s advertising is hardly as sparkling as the days of yore with Lowe Howard-Spink.)
Morrisons needs to be bold, with an agency to match. But it’s a great opportunity for a creative agency to show it really can help to solve a big businesses problem.

Street workers fixed numerous manhole covers in South Pattaya following complaints about noise from cars running over them.
City Councilmen Nikom Sangkaew and Wuttithon Sangurai observed the work outside Wat Chaimongkol Temple Sept. 13.
In addition to loose sewer grates, parts of the drainage system had collapsed leaving deep, dangerous potholes.
Crews then moved to Soi Hollywood behind the Wat Chaimongkol Market where more clattering covers were found. Residents complained all the noise annoyed them.
Residents also requested the city give them sandbags to block floodwaters from the daily downpours during rainy season.

Oil prices edged higher on Friday but were on track for a weekly decline amid fears of sharp interest rate hikes that would slam global growth and hit fuel demand.
Brent crude futures were up 24 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $91.08 a barrel as at 0315 GMT(8:45 am), but were down 1.9 per cent for the week so far.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 10 cents, or 0.1 per cent, to $85.20 a barrel, but were also down 1.9 per cent on a weekly basis.
"Today's morning rebound for oil prices can only be described as a short-term correction, as the Fed will raise interest rates by 75bp or 100bp next week," said Leon Li, an analyst at CMC Markets.
"Although the probability of a 100 bp rate hike is relatively small, it would bring uncertainty to market sentiment. So there is still a risk that oil prices could drop lower next week."

Both benchmarks are headed for a third consecutive weekly loss, hurt partly by a strong US dollar, which makes oil more expensive for buyers using other currencies. The dollar index ticked down on Friday but held near last week's high above 110.
Investors are bracing for a US rate hike next week after data showed underlying inflation broadening out, and amid growing concerns of a global recession.
The market was also rattled by the International Energy Agency's outlook for almost zero growth in oil demand in the fourth quarter due to a weaker demand outlook for China.
"Oil fundamentals are still mostly bearish as China's demand outlook remains a big question mark and as the inflation fighting Fed seems poised to weaken the US economy," OANDA analyst Edward Moya said in a note.
Analysts said sentiment suffered from comments by the US Department of Energy that it was unlikely to seek to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve until after fiscal 2023.
On the supply side, the market has found some support on dwindling expectations of a return of Iranian crude, as Western officials played down prospects of reviving a nuclear accord with Tehran.
Commonwealth Bank analyst Vivek Dhar said that supported the bank's view that oil markets will tighten by the end of the year and Brent will return to $100 a barrel in the fourth quarter.
Oil prices may also be supported in the fourth quarter as OPEC+ members are likely to discuss production cuts at its October meeting, and as Europe would face an energy crisis amid uncertainty on oil and gas supply from Russia, added CMC's Li.

The federal government will match Canadian donations to help the people of Pakistan recover from severe flooding, although the amount of aid it is offering is far less than what Ottawa pledged after a less severe flood in 2010.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday that donations made to one of the 12 relief agencies that make up the Humanitarian Coalition will be doubled by September 28, to a maximum of $3 million.
Canada will send another $25 million to Pakistan to help fight floods and support development projects, in addition to the $5 million the Liberals announced last month.
WATCH | Pakistan braces for more rain as displaced families ask for help:
“We will continue to look for other ways to help,” Trudeau said at a press conference Tuesday. He called the floods in Pakistan a “terrible climate disaster”.
Food, water, sanitation and medical services are urgently needed. Monsoon rains over the past three months have left more than a third of the country under water.
More than 33 million people have been affected by the floods, and with much of the country’s agricultural land submerged, the Pakistani government is warning of looming food shortages.
When the floods hit Pakistan in 2010, 20 million people were affected. The former Harper government pledged $71.8 million in aid, including $46.8 million from donations that Ottawa matched.
Ian Smillie, a longtime international development specialist, said he was puzzled by the federal government’s inability to allocate more funds or offer to triple donations.
The $3 million commitment is “peanuts,” he says. “The situation there is terrible, and it has been terrible for weeks.”
Smillie said Ottawa usually tries to channel funding through Canadian non-governmental organizations that do not have a large presence in Pakistan.
But the Humanitarian Coalition, he says, includes multinational charities that know how to channel funding to those most in need on the ground, several times more than Canada offers.
“They’re bound to say it’s generous and every little thing helps, but $3 million isn’t that much,” Smiley said.
Human Concern International, a Canadian charity that is not part of the coalition and will not receive matching donations from Ottawa, has warned that the floods could wipe out educational and child health gains in some of the country’s poorest regions.
“What you’re seeing is 33 million people, which is close to the population of Canada, who were affected by the floods,” said Mohamed Noorani, deputy chief executive of the charity.
“In dollar terms, it is very clear that this will not satisfy the need, as it is now.”
International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan is now in Pakistan overseeing the devastation. Neither his office nor Home Affairs Canada explained how they determined the amount of the donations.
“We continue to look for ways to support the people of Pakistan and stand ready to provide additional assistance as and when needed,” department spokeswoman Marilyn Gevremont wrote.

Shafaq News / Discussing on the flight from Kazakhstan to Italy on Thursday the moral degradation of the West, particularly concerning the advance of legal euthanasia, Pope Francis said the region has taken the wrong path and that killing should be left “to the animals.”
“It is true that the West degenerates,” the pope said during his Sept. 15 in-flight press conference in response to a question about the loss of values in the West, and in particular to the push for legal euthanasia in France, Italy, and Belgium.
“It is not, at this moment, at the highest level of exemplariness … The West has taken the wrong paths,” the pope said.
Pressed on the problem of euthanasia, Pope Francis said: “To kill is not human, period. If you kill — with motivation yes — in the end you will kill more. It’s not human. Let’s leave killing to the animals.”
Pope Francis visited Kazakhstan Sept. 13–15, participating in the Seventh Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, an interreligious summit, and visiting the Catholics and public officials of the Central Asian state.
In the course of the in-flight press conference, the pope also addressed the Russo-Ukrainian War and Ukraine’s right to defend itself, relations between the Holy See and China, and critiques that participation in the Kazakh interreligious congress risks indifferentism.
Turning to Ukraine, the Holy Father said that arming the country “can be morally acceptable,” recalling that “to defend oneself is not only lawful but also an expression of love of country.” He affirmed the right of a nation to defend itself when necessary.
Discussing dialogue with Russia, Pope Francis said that “it is always difficult to understand dialogue with the states which have started the war … It is difficult, but we should not dismiss it, to give the opportunity for dialogue to everyone, to everyone. Because there is always the possibility that with dialogue things can change, even offering another point of view, another point of consideration.”
