The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it is putting every necessary machinery in motion to win the 2023 presidential election with a margin that will be too wide to contest.
Mr Bayo Onanuga, the Director, Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Council, said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Onanuga was reacting to a poll conducted by the NOI Polls, pointing out that it is inconsistent with Nigerian reality.
“The attention of the APC Presidential Campaign Council has been drawn to a poll conducted by the NOI Polls which made wild and incredible permutations on the presidential election.
“We are unperturbed by these dubious and unreliable statistics because our research shows that NOI Polls have been off the mark at critical election periods in recent times.
“For example, preparatory to March 2015 presidential elections, NOI published in October 2014 the results of a ‘Viability Poll’ which used the concepts of familiarity and net favourability position to survey,” Onanuga said.
He recalled that in the results, NOI claimed that then President Goodluck Jonathan had the best overall familiarity rating at 99 per cent and a net favourability probability of ±25.
Onanuga said by contrast, NOI dismissed the then APC candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, as a borderline candidate who needed huge public relations to shore up his performance.
He added that in spite of the report when the Nigerian electorate went to the polls, the APC candidate and now President Muhammadu Buhari won the election.
He said this was not the only instance when the NOI had turned its political bias in an election period to fraudulent statistics.
He added that towards the 2019 presidential elections, and knowing fully that Buhari was going for re-election for a second term in office, the NOI pollsters embarked on another “abracadabra”.
Onanuga recalled that in June 2017, NOI Poll issued the results of another poll, that Nigerians preferred a middle-aged president.
The NOI pollsters, he said, had claimed that its poll was inspired by the election of Macron as the president of France and the campaign of the Not Too Young To Run.
“According to the predictable bias, NOI claimed that 64 per cent said they would prefer to vote for a presidential candidate between the ages of 40 and 50 years and 15 per cent preferred candidates between 51 and 60.
“In short, for a presidential candidate in his 70s, running for re-election, NOI results meant certain defeat.
“But when the Nigerian electorate went to the polls on February 23, 2019, the man the NOI polls had tried to bully with statistics out of the race won again,” Onanuga further recalled.
He added that at the time NOI was generating unrealistic figures to boost the ego of ex-president Jonathan, and a more serious and independent team of pollsters – Neo-Telligence based in the United Kingdom, used geo-demographics and public sentiment analysis to forecast the emergence of Buhari.
Onanuga said, by contrast, that their empirical analysis showed that two years before the 2015 presidential elections, Jonathan’s public approval rating on corruption, insecurity and the economy had nose-dived.
This, he said, was especially across most of the battleground states of the federation.
“Our objective profiling of NOI Polls as an anti-APC research organisation is grounded on the aforesaid facts.
“The NOI has chosen the preferred candidate and has decided to use fake, dubious statistics to package him to the Nigerian voters.
“We know as a matter of fact, the owners of NOI and where their political interest lies,” Onanuga said.
He, therefore, advised NOI to stop polluting the political system with irresponsible, unscientific and biased polling to avoid being exposed.
“The APC is putting every necessary machinery in motion to win the federal elections with a margin that will be too wide to contest.
“Our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, recorded the highest votes of a senator across the country under the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in July 1992.
“He will do it on the nationwide scale on February 25, 2023,” Onanuga stressed

We also welcome you all in the new building. I was at an education day held inside there a month after opening night - what a marble bath to immergrin with - there'll always, no always will always BE education days where teachers will find a wealth ot great teachers who share a genuint desire, who teach from deep passion or some personal experience. This group of folks share a concern about student literacy of ALL the children! Keep our students growing; you do matter Rina Sawayama's second album, Hold the Girl, is named after a term she learned in therapy. To help the British-Japanese popstar recover from the pains of assimilation, homophobia and sexual trauma that had cheated her out of being her true self since her youth, she would "re-parent" herself, reclaiming what had been lost. Restoration is also the strategy that underpins her genre-clashing pop. In a recent interview, Sawayama explained that by bringing together "out-of-fashion" styles that no other artists dared touch, she could escape sounding dated and surprise listeners. It's a funny idea given that music from every era is perpetually available and there's no knowing what arcane curio or yesteryear hit TikTok might funnel down the pipe next. That tactic worked strikingly on her 2020 debut, SAWAYAMA, filled with cheekily clever and often genuinely surprising hybrids that pilfered from Y2K pop and nu-metal, finessed by Sawayama's sharp focus and clear wit. Songs like "STFU!" and "Dynasty" sounded as if Sawayama had written the abrasive, flashy hit to broker a truce between TRL-era foes Christina Aguilera and Fred Durst — albeit with appealingly knowing lyrics about microaggressions and intergenerational trauma.
Released in April 2020, that audacious record was enough to keep Sawayama's fledgling star high even as the pandemic hampered her real-life progress. She was, as she's often said, a late-starter in pop terms — 29 before she signed a record deal with Dirty Hit, the artist-friendly pop label home to The 1975, Wolf Alice and Beabadoobee — and raring to catch up. In 2018, I witnessed an early headline set at a 300-capacity London basement where, just like at those apocryphal early Lady Gaga shows, Sawayama and two dancers performed flawless choreo to essentially a desk fan. She's always given stadium and is revered as a superstar among extremely online pop fans; she's collaborated with Elton John and she was a must-see act at this summer's festivals. It all points to an unstoppable upward trajectory, and Hold the Girl scales accordingly. Here she spreads herself even more widely across genre to hoover up musical theater, country, CCM, goth, schlager, two-step and quite whatever it was The Corrs were.
Sawayama's choices may be unusual but her catholic sensibility isn't really. Two of the year's best albums have a studious and loving collagist spirit: Both Rosalía's Motomami and Beyoncé's Renaissance are full of deep personal and historical references; they're thrillingly innovative, and most importantly, aggressive amounts of fun. Pop's experimental underbelly has long been about reveling in the grotesqueries of so-called bad taste. (Just this month, British duo Jockstrap's debut I Love You Jennifer B made a masterpiece of the form.) In this competitively inventive field, Hold the Girl defaults on the mutant glee of SAWAYAMA: It seldom exceeds the sum of its parts and meticulously finishes every seam. In that sense, it is surprisingly traditional for an artist with a huge online appeal, though parts of it also feel entirely of a piece with the call-and-response of shallow internet engagement: Hey, recognize this? The riotous "This Hell" is one of the album's more effective songs, about defying homophobes to readily swig Satan's Apple Sourz on the path to "eternal damnation." It has a great line dancing-worthy chorus you can't believe nobody's written before, but it doesn't stray beyond the brief "Shania meets Gaga," and Sawayama's sprinkling of namechecks — Paris Hilton, Britney, Whitney, Lady Di and The Devil Wears Prada — feel like empty pop-cultural gestures.
Where SAWAYAMA had a sleek integrity all of its own, Hold the Girl is rife with these ceaseless, attention-deflecting winks. "Forgiveness" is Frozen's "Let It Go" by way of ABBA and Sarah McLachlan. "Hurricanes" is theater-kid "Sk8er Boi." Many of these songs feel rigid with intention, as if they were envisaged as set pieces for a spectacular live show. The glitchy, towering "Hold the Girl" has a sentimental outro of gauzy atmospherics, pounding drums and a consecutive one-two of the album's many, many key changes that invites you to picture a gymnastics duo reducing cold-hearted judges to tears with a moving athletic spectacular. "Holy," a Eurobanger brazenly influenced by Depeche Mode, makes space for a showstopping drum breakdown. Despite the last 30 years of mainstream US pop clearly being the biggest influence on the album, there are stiff Americanisms —"I ain't lo-o-o-ost," she warbles on "Forgiveness"— that feel like someone else's lines.
It's also aggressively overproduced. (Stuart Price and Paul Epworth join Sawayama and her regular collaborator Clarence Clarity here.) As with Lizzo's Cuz I Love You, the extra-ness is, presumably, the point. The album opens with "Minor Feelings," a song named after an essay collection by the Korean-American author Cathy Park Hong about how being Asian American taught Hong to suppress what she called "the racialized range of emotions that are negative, dysphoric and therefore untelegenic." As with the opener of Adele's 30, "Strangers By Nature," it's a gently satirical overture: a lavish, fluttering reverie that takes a turn for the sinister as Sawayama reveals the damage of a lifetime of diminishment: "All these minor feelings / Are majorly breaking me down," she sings, a cruel lick of distortion strafing her operatic delivery and almost turning her lament into a threat. The gag is that the 12 songs that follow are extremely, outlandishly major. Almost every song proceeds at an exhausting intensity and is pungent with the distinct whiff of dry ice — it's so much like sitting through Eurovision that you half expect the late UK commentator Terry Wogan to pop up between songs with a sly remark about Estonia.
Occasionally, Sawayama lands a sweet spot of intensity and innovation that puts her in the superstar leagues she's clearly aiming for. "Catch Me in the Air," an imagined anthem of healing sung between Sawayama's younger self and her mother, has a soaring, hyper-oxygenated Celtic pop-rock chorus that delivers an exhilarating natural high. And the tweaky "Your Age" transcends its Nine Inch Nails cosplay with a wrenching chorus about reckoning with an imbalance of power in a formative relationship: "Now that I'm your age / I just can't imagine / Why did you do it / What the hell were you thinking?" Sawayama seethes, her delivery bursting with defiance and anguish. In another recent interview, Pitchfork critic Vrinda Jagota said to Sawayama: "Growing up in Asian families, there can be a lot of pressure to do things exactly right, which makes it hard to have a growth mindset where you value the process of trying and failing at new things, especially in creative fields." Sawayama agreed: Undoing the "sense of obligation ... that can come from parental pressure" had "let the creative juices flow." You feel that sense of freedom in these songs, which makes the forced ones jar that much more.
The problem is less that Sawayama is drawing from so-called bad-taste sources than the fact that the disparate parts often feel like flavor profiles that don't mix. The final song, "To Be Alive," bridles fist-to-chest triumph to a racing breakbeat, dry, funky guitar, and Sawayama's processed voice affirming the Insta caption homily: "Flowers still look pretty when they're dying." It is often painfully cloying: "Phantom," the second explicit song about re-parenting herself after the title track, is swashbuckling, saccharine X Factor balladry. Plenty is awkward but nothing is off. There's no funk, no acid — the gut-busting earnestness of Hold the Girl sifts the grit from the oyster, too self-conscious for camp delight.
Perhaps the album's greatest shortfall is how Sawayama's dogged big-tent sensibility smothers what is obviously a personal record. The relentless scale of her major feelings grinds her nuanced story to a paste — in contrast, think of Charli XCX's Crash, a self-professed genre exercise in playing the part of major-label popstar in which you still acutely felt the British popstar's anxieties and pain come through her turbo-charged pop. At her most specific, Sawayama sings with her whole heart about her radical vision of love as a 32-year-old: her reconciliation with herself, her mother; imagining the same for friends estranged from their families on "Send My Love to John." It's admirably guileless, although fiercely mawkish: If you routinely skipped the SAWAYAMA ballad "Chosen Family," then bad luck. Otherwise, the lyrics are heavy with concepts from therapy that fit clunkily in pop songs, rote allusions to weather (rain rhymes with pain, skies with eyes) and start-from-the-title songwriting ("Frankenstein") that deny Sawayama the distinct language she flexed on SAWAYAMA. For an album that's about trying to reconnect with a stolen self, what's surprising is how often you're left searching for Sawayama in a noisy hall of mirrors that obscures her appeal instead of reflecting it.

The Baltimore Orioles will have a chance to make up ground in the race for an American League wild-card spot when they open a three-game road series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.
The Orioles (75-67), who lost 110 games last season, are 4 1/2 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays (80-63), who occupy the final wild-card spot.
The Orioles, who had Thursday off after winning two straight at Washington, are five games behind the Blue Jays (81-63) and the Seattle Mariners (80-62), who occupy the top two wild-card positions.
The Blue Jays lost 11-0 to the visiting Rays on Thursday but still won three times in the five-game series.
“Always pleased to win a series,” Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider said. “Tough day today, but we move on and open another big series (Friday). You have to just flush it and move on.”
Using the term “big series” shows just how far the Orioles have come.
“We’ve come a long way. …in a short amount of time,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “I don’t think people really understand how hard that is. If you look around, we don’t have guys making much money compared to the rest of the league. We have guys playing hard and playing to win, and they’re exciting to watch.”
Right-hander Jordan Lyles (10-10, 4.62 ERA) will start for the Orioles on Friday. Lyles is 3-1 with a 6.67 ERA, in six career games (five starts) against Toronto.
The Blue Jays had not named a starter as of Thursday night.
“I think it’ll be a bullpen game of some kind, similar to what we’ve done in the past couple of outings with that spot,” Schneider said.
Orioles players feel that Hyde has had a lot to do with the team’s surprisingly quick turnaround.
“He’s all about the player,” Lyles told the Baltimore Sun. “I haven’t heard one negative thing about him.”
Lyles said that Hyde is open to input from the more experienced players on a young team.
“He just wants it to be a tight-knit group where everyone believes in one another and just you can be open to come to him at any time, baseball-wise or personal-life stuff,” Lyles said. “He’s very comfortable to be around.
“With how young this clubhouse is, it can be intimidating for player versus manager, especially a rookie or young guy, second-, third-year guy, but he’s thrown that out the door.”
The Blue Jays won three of four against the Orioles from Sept. 5-7 — a series in Baltimore that included a doubleheader sweep.
The Orioles, however, lead the season series 7-6.
Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk did not play on Thursday because Schneider said he is dealing with “a little left hip tightness.”
“He’s kind of day-to-day,” Schneider said. “We’re just being a little bit careful.”
The Orioles will have to contend with Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette, who continued his hot hitting on Thursday by going 2-for-4 with a double. He has reached base in all 15 games in September, batting .484 (31-for-64) with nine doubles, a triple, seven homers and 22 RBIs.
Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 1-for-4 Thursday to extend his hitting streak to nine games. He is 12-for-40 (.300) with four doubles, a homer and three RBIs in that span.

KUCHING (Sept 16): It would be a long process to amend the laws for Sarawak and Sabah to have their 35 per cent share of seats in the Dewan Rakyat, said Minister in Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
He acknowledged that while the serious intention was there to amend the Constitution to reflect such proposal, he also stressed that this ‘could not happen in just days or weeks’.
“Don’t think that amending the Constitution is like ‘beli ikan di pasar’ (buying fish at the market).
“If it could be done like that, then everybody could do it. These people are just riding on the popularity of the idea – they don’t know the process of the government.
“That’s why Pakatan Harapan (PH) had failed in managing the country because they didn’t know how to do things. They wanted to do the things so fast without remembering that there are procedures in everything,” he said when contacted today, commenting on Democratic Action Party (DAP) national chairman Lim Guan Eng’s remark about PH supporting the government’s proposal of increasing the number of seats in the Dewan Rakyat for Sabah and Sarawak.
Lim, in his Malaysia Day 2022 message, claimed that Wan Junaidi had ‘disappointed many’ in saying that there was not enough time to implement that proposal before the 15th general election (GE15).
“However, this should not stop a constitutional amendment in Parliament to put into practice this 35 per cent principle announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. This proposal should be enshrined in the Federal Constitution now, to be implemented in future at subsequent general elections.
“PH will support such constitutional amendments thereby ensuring its passage with the required two-thirds majority,” Lim was quoted as having said.
On Sept 9, Minister in Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs) Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili announced that a meeting of the Special Council on the Malaysia Agreement, chaired by the Prime Minister, had endorsed the proposed seat increase for the East Malaysian states.
In his statement, Wan Junaidi pointed out that the proposal had just been agreed in principle, and had not gone to the government yet – a process that would require coming up with a Cabinet Paper.
“I would have to make a trip to Sarawak, a trip to Sabah, and to call both Sarawak and Sabah to sit down together for a meeting.
“I would have to discuss with the Election Commission, the Attorney-General’s Chambers and others. There are many stakeholders involved in the process. I would have to consult everybody before a Cabinet Paper could be drawn.
“There are many things that have to be taken into consideration, so it would be a little while before you could see it (the proposal) materialises,” he said.
At present, the two Borneo states have 25 per cent representation in Dewan Rakyat – or 56 parliamentary seats in total – with Sarawak controlling 31 seats and Sabah, 25.
The other 75 per cent (166 parliamentary seats) is held by Peninsular Malaysia.
To reach the proposed 35 per cent, Sabah and Sarawak would collectively need 78 out of the current 222 parliamentary seats.

PROVIDENCE, R.I., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bally's Corporation (NYSE: BALY) today announced that Marc Crisafulli, EVP of Government Relations, Legal and Regulatory, will retire from the company, effective September 16, 2022.
Marc joined the company in May 2019 as EVP of Government Relations and then later served as EVP of Twin River Worldwide Holdings and President of Twin River and Tiverton Casinos, prior to the company's rebrand to Bally's Corporation in 2020. During his time with the company, and especially in his most recent role as Executive Vice President of Government Relations, Legal and Regulatory, Marc helped advance Bally's strategy by overseeing critical legislation and spearheading important partnerships in Rhode Island.
Lee Fenton, Bally's Chief Executive Officer, said, "I want to thank Marc for his commitment and many contributions to Bally's over the last few years. I especially want to acknowledge Marc's work with the State of Rhode Island, including his efforts in advancing important state legislation and for his role in moving our corporate headquarters to Providence. On behalf of our Board and management team, we want to thank Marc for his guidance and for his role in positioning us for our next phase of growth. We wish him the best in his retirement."
Most notably, under Marc's leadership, Bally's worked with International Game Technology (IGT) and the State of Rhode Island to form a three-way agreement, later resulting in passage of legislation 2021-H 5223A and 2021-S 0040A, aimed at preserving and enhancing Rhode Island's gaming revenue. Known as the Marc A. Crisafulli Economic Development Act, this legislation established a 20-year joint venture between Bally's and IGT that will create a licensed video lottery terminal provider to supply all gaming machines to the Rhode Island Division of Lotteries for Bally's Twin River Casino Hotel and Tiverton Casino Hotel and the State. The legislation also provides for a $250 million economic development investment plan.
Soo Kim, Chairman of Bally's Corporation's Board of Directors, said, "Marc led a robust expansion of Bally's in recent years. During his time, he developed important relationships and respect among regulators, partners, and colleagues. We look forward to building on what Marc has helped establish, and we wish him all the best in this next chapter."
Marc Crisafulli, outgoing EVP of Government Relations, Legal and Regulatory, said, "I could not be prouder of what our team has accomplished in just a few years, and I am especially grateful for the relationships formed and efforts executed in the State of Rhode Island. It has been a privilege to see the company grow and evolve, and I want to thank Lee and Soo, and the entire team for their support, leadership and friendship. I wish the company continued success."

By yesterday, the queue of mourners stood at four miles long with people people expected to wait around nine hours to reach Westminster Hall.
Most Popular

Saints Run Defense vs. Buccaneers Rushing Attack
The New Orleans Saints host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their 2022 home opener on Sunday. Both teams come in with a 1-0 record. The Saints after a marvelous 16-point comeback victory at Atlanta, while the Buccaneers throttled the Dallas Cowboys, 19-3, on the road. Tampa Bay won the NFC South in 2021, ending the Saints four-year streak of division titles.
New Orleans has won the last seven regular season meetings and leads the all-time series 39-22, including a 21-13 mark at home. Four of those wins have come since future Hall of Fame QB Tom Brady joined the Bucs in 2020. The Saints dominated Brady in those matchups, forcing nine turnovers and holding them without a touchdown twice.
Tampa's only win with Brady came in the 2021 Divisional Playoffs in New Orleans. They won that game because they were able to run the ball and because of an opportunistic defense.
Both these teams have tremendous defenses, especially against the run. The offense that manages to establish the better balance against the other's defense will win this showdown
Here's a breakdown of how the Buccaneers running game stacks up against a Saints run defense that had uncharacteristic struggles against Atlanta.

Coming into 2022, the Saints had ranked in the league's top four against the run for four consecutive years. They’d held 45 of their previous 65 opponents under 100 yards on the ground and routinely made opposing offenses one-dimensional.
Atlanta gashed the Saints for 201 yards on the ground in week one. It was the third highest rushing total given up by the Saints in their last 110 games, with only the Philadelphia Eagles achieving a higher total twice. Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson rushed for 120 yards, just the third 100-yard rushing performance against the Saints in their last 78 outings.
Most surprisingly, Atlanta blew the Saints off the ball at the point of attack. To prevent this from happening again, defensive tackles David Onyemata, Shy Tuttle, and Kentavius Street must win their battles at the line of scrimmage. Tuttle, a rugged run-stuffer, made two crucial stops late in the game last week to swing momentum. Onyemata is a powerhouse with freakish athleticism who needs to be a difference maker in the middle.
Starting ends Cam Jordan and Marcus Davenport are best known as pass rushers, but are also among the league's best run defenders at the position. Carl Granderson, Payton Turner, and Tanoh Kpassagnon make up a deep rotation that stays fresh late in games.
The key to the entire defense is All-Pro LB Demario Davis. The 33-year-old Davis is a do-it-all defender who has four straight years of at least 100 tackles and 45 stops for loss in his four years with New Orleans. He’s a physical player that expertly reads opposing offenses with the speed to beat runners to the edge.
Second-year LB Pete Werner looks ready to take on a bigger role in the defense. After 62 tackles, four for loss, as a rookie, Werner had a game-high 12 stops against the Falcons. He’s a sure tackler who flows through traffic to the ball carrier and has the athleticism to make plays in the open field. Kaden Elliss is the third linebacker in an extremely thin unit.
The Saints typically employ just two linebackers and an extra defensive back. Their secondary is extremely active and physical in run support. Corner Paulson Adebo will be sidelined for a second straight week because of an ankle injury, but Marshon Lattimore and Bradley Roby are quick to cut down a back along the edge at the line of scrimmage.
Veteran S Justin Evans took the place of the traded Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and had a solid outing against the Falcons. He and P.J. Williams complement starters Marcus Maye and Tyrann Mathieu, who combined for 16 tackles in week one. They were in on one of the key plays of the win when they teamed up to force and recover a Marcus Mariota fumble deep in their own territory to keep the Saints within striking distance.

Tampa Bay Running Attack
2021 Rushing Statistics
- 30.1 points per game (2nd)
- 98.4 rushing yards/game (26th)
- 4.3 average per rush (15th)
- 18 rushing touchdowns (9th)
As long as Brady is playing for them, the Buccaneers offense will always be known for their passing game. However, Tampa Bay has an underrated weapon in RB Leonard Fournette. The 27-year-old Fournette was the fourth overall pick in the 2017 Draft out of LSU, but is in just his third season with the Bucs.
After a marvelous playoff run the year before, Fournette led the Buccaneers with 812 yards rushing and eight scores in 2021, averaging 4.5 per carry. Fournette is a power back at 6-feet and 228-Lbs with breakaway speed and terrific receiving ability. He started this season strong, rushing for 127 yards on 21 carries against the Cowboys.
Rookie third-round pick Rachaad White backs up Fournette, with Giovani Bernard used as a third down back. White, another big back at 6’2” and 228-Lbs., had six carries for 14 yards and two receptions for 7 yards against Dallas. Fournette has been limited in practice with a hamstring injury, but should go on Sunday. If he’s limited, then 2020 third-round choice Ke'Shawn Vaughn could see some snaps.
A bigger issue for Tampa Bay might be the health of their offensive line. Center Ryan Jensen and G Aaron Stinnie are already on injured reserve, while LT Donovan Smith has been out of practice all week because of an elbow injury. Luke Goedeke, a rookie from Central Michigan, takes over Stinnie's left guard spot.
The Buccaneers usually like to run over their left side. With the health and inexperience on that side an issue, Tampa might roll more rushes to the other side. All-Pro RT Tristan Wirfs is one of the league's best, while offseason free-agent addition Shaq Mason is a strong run blocker at right guard.
What to Expect
Most of the same personnel remains from a New Orleans defense that dominated opposing running attacks for the last four years. I expect a squad that is highly motivated to redeem themselves after being pushed around by Atlanta last week.
To do that, the Saints defensive tackles must get inside push into the backfield against a beat up Tampa Bay interior line. That would also allow their defensive ends to crash down on plays to prevent Fournette from bouncing outside or finding an off-tackle running lane.
Davis and Werner will be extremely active in this game. Remember that Fournette is also a capable receiver. They'll be matched up with the Buccaneers backs in those situations and must prevent Brady from using short passes to his backs as an extension of the running game.
It sounds insane, but the key to the Saints defensive success against Tampa Bay has been to shut down the running game and forcing Brady to try and beat them. If successful, New Orleans has the pass rush and coverage talent to win this early season showdown between NFC contenders.

Ever since its formation late Wednesday, Tropical Storm Fiona has been hit incessantly by upper level wind shear. That means that westerly winds at the top of the storm are trying to put a cap on how tall the storm can stand while moving towards the Caribbean.
Since tropical storms can’t dance the limbo, it’s tough for them to get under the bar that’s being set lower by these west winds aloft. Now the question is, will Fiona fall?
After peaking at 60 miles per hour (mph) on Thursday, winds inside Fiona were down to 50 mph on Friday morning. It is an unhealthy tropical system, with its low-level center devoid of thunderstorms and exposed. Fiona’s center shows up as a swirl of clouds on satellite pictures.
Even though it should, it's hard to call for Fiona to weaken further given how the storm has already exceeded expectations.
Stay informed about local news and weather during the hurricane season. Get the NBC 6 South Florida app for iOS or Android and pick your alerts.
The tropical disturbance from which it came from was surrounded by dry air on its north and west. And yet the dry air wasn’t able to prevent a tropical depression from forming. Then, as the depression moved westbound, the hostile wind shear increased.
Despite this, remote sensors on satellites detected winds of 50 mph on the northeast side of the circulation on Wednesday, so the National Hurricane Center (NHC) was forced to declare that the sixth named storm of the year had formed.
Tropical Storm Fiona
On Thursday night, though, those jabs of wind shear started to wear Fiona down. The strong westerlies aloft were forecast to continue Friday and Saturday as the system rolled past the Leeward Islands and then south of the Virgin Islands. This essentially guarantees that from Guadeloupe to Antigua, and beyond to Tortola and St. Thomas, it will be nothing more than a messy tropical storm.
Some model forecasts, however, show less impact from wind shear by Sunday. That’s the time the tropical storm would be moving past Puerto Rico at a distance of 65 miles from Ponce and 100 miles from San Juan, as per the Friday morning NHC forecast track. High pressure might develop over Tropical Storm Fiona to shield it from the detrimental wind shear.
If Fiona makes it in one piece to the waters south of the Mona Passage between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, there’s a chance the storm could ramp up in intensity before potentially hitting Hispaniola late Sunday night into Monday. For now, the chance of hurricane force winds in Santo Domingo and Port-Au-Prince, Haiti stands at 2 and 1 percent, respectively.
For the Bahamas and Florida, the official NHC forecast has Fiona turning northwest and out to sea thanks to a change in steering currents beyond this weekend. On the NHC track, only the eastern Bahamas are in peril of having to tangle with Fiona’s core. But if Fiona remains weakened by the hostile conditions it is facing, then that track could extend further west.
Add to this the wildcard that the topography of Hispaniola brings. Mountains as tall as 10,000 feet could tear Fiona apart, depending on the track it takes and how healthy the storm is when it reaches that part of the Greater Antilles.
Given all this, Florida will need to keep tabs on Tropical Storm Fiona’s progress. A weaker storm that’s not discombobulated by island topography would be able to come closer to the Sunshine State next week.
For Miami and Fort Lauderdale, it still appears unlikely to impact us directly. But don’t tune out just yet.

Port of Monroe and partners strengthen Great Lakes short-sea-shipping network
The Port of Monroe recently commissioned a new Manitowoc crawler crane. Its first job was to load approximately 400 tons of special bar quality (SBQ) steel onto Interlake Steamship Company’s M/V Paul R. Tregurtha, the largest ship sailing the Great Lakes.
The crane was purchased with funds through the U.S. Maritime Administration’s Marine Highway program, according to a press release on the port's website. MARAD designated the Port of Monroe as part of Marine Highway Route M-90 in 2016. As a Marine Highway, the Port and its stakeholders are committed to developing and expanding marine highway service options in the United States to expand the use of America’s navigable waterways.
This latest cargo evolution is a perfect example of how the Port is working with its industry partners and local stakeholders to create new short-sea-shipping opportunities on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway system.
“Every ton counts. Though small by volume, the enormity of this cargo evolution rivals anything that the Port has done in the last decade,” said Capt. Paul C. LaMarre, Port Director, Port of Monroe. “This trial cargo is the epitome of U. S. flagged, short sea shipping on the Great Lakes.”
The Port’s industrial partner and neighbor Gerdau Special Steel was looking for the most economical way to move SBQ manufactured in Monroe to their grinding ball mill in Duluth, Minnesota. The SBQ is used as a feedstock to manufacture grinding balls used in the mining industry.
The Tregurtha, one of the Port’s most frequent visitors, was identified as the perfect vessel to move the SBQ as it is on a dedicated route between Monroe and the twin ports of Duluth/Superior. The cargo was efficiently transported on an all-marine route, through the Soo Locks, saving at least 13,000 highway miles and 275 driving hours in truck resources on America’s congested roadways.

About the OMNI® Surgical System
The OMNI Surgical System is a handheld, single-use therapeutic device for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). It is indicated for canaloplasty (the microcatheterization and viscodilation of Schlemm’s canal) followed by trabeculotomy (the cutting of trabecular meshwork) to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Through a single clear corneal microincision, OMNI allows surgeons to access all 360 degrees of Schlemm’s canal and treat all three sources of outflow resistance within the eye’s diseased conventional outflow pathway (trabecular meshwork, Schlemm’s canal, and collector channels).
OMNI is indicated by the FDA for canaloplasty (the microcatheterization and viscodilation of Schlemm’s canal) followed by trabeculotomy (the cutting of trabecular meshwork) to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma. OMNI has a CE Mark for the catheterization and transluminal viscodilation of Schlemm’s canal and the cutting of trabecular meshwork to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma.
OMNI should not be used in any situations where the iridocorneal angle is compromised or has been damaged since it may not be possible to visualize the angle or to properly pass the microcatheter. Do not use the OMNI in patients with angle recession; neovascular glaucoma; chronic angle closure; narrow-angle glaucoma; traumatic or malignant glaucoma; or narrow inlet canals with plateau iris or in quadrants with previous MIGS implants.
OMNI received its first FDA clearance in 2017 and is protected by a global patent portfolio including 32 issued patents worldwide.
OMNI is a registered trademark of Sight Sciences.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — CSX has hired an auto industry executive to lead the railroad after its current CEO retires.
Jacksonville, Florida-based CSX Corp. said Thursday that Joe Hinrichs will take over from Jim Foote at the end of this month. Hinrichs previously served as president of Ford Motor Co.’s global auto business.
Hinrichs said in an interview with The Associated Press he’s very excited that CSX and the other major railroads were able to reach a tentative contract agreement Thursday with unions to prevent a potentially devastating national strike.
“Our employees are going to get a well-deserved raise after working so hard the last couple years through the pandemic,” Hinrichs said. “We’re excited about moving from here. Now we can move our conversation into how do we work together to grow the business and better serve our customers.”
The railroads have been plagued with delivery delays that prompted shippers to complain loudly this year about poor service. Federal regulators got involved and ordered the railroads to address the problems.
But improvement has come slowly. CSX and the other major railroads each needed to hire and train hundreds of additional workers, and that has been difficult amid the ongoing nationwide labor shortage.
Hinrichs said he hopes the new union contracts will help CSX attract and retain more employees.
He said he knows the railroad business as a customer, but not the details of its operations. He has been studying up on the Precision Scheduled Railroading model that CSX has used to slash its costs in recent years and will plan to lean on the expertise of CSX’s managers.
“Fortunately, we have a very strong operating team here at CSX that has implemented Precision Scheduled Railroading in the last couple years,” Hinrichs said. “The results have been outstanding. Many people believe CSX is a leader in that regard.”
Hinrichs said he has “read all the books that Hunter Harrison put out” and has been talking to people in the industry to learn more. Harrison originated the Precision Scheduled Railroading model when he led the Canadian railroads and implemented it at CSX before his death.
The model relies on using fewer, longer trains with a mix of freight on them, so railroads can operate with fewer locomotives and employees. Since CSX put it in place, the model has been widely adopted by other U.S. railroads. Collectively, the major U.S. railroads have used the model to cut nearly one-third of their workforce over the past six years.
Foote agreed to remain on as an advisor through March to help with the transition.
CSX is one of the nation’s largest railroads, and it operates more than 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of track in 26 Eastern states and two Canadian provinces after acquiring Pam-Am Railways in the northeastern United States earlier this year.

Blackpool Supporters' Trust column: Time of monumental change
This article is written at a momentous time, after a change at the very top of Government and the death of a much-loved monarch.
The work of Blackpool Supporters’ Trust continues and since our last column we have seen two junior Seasiders enjoy the day of a lifetime as club mascots courtesy of our generous members.
This week, we will be allocating two more such opportunities for the plum games with Norwich and Preston and, for the first time this season, giving away a mascot package to a local good cause for the home game with Birmingham City in December.
Most Popular
As Blackpool FC’s biggest democratic supporters’ group, it is also that time of year when we hold our elections. Whoever is elected will serve us through a period that could well change the face of football.
This may sound a large claim but if the new Prime Minister backs the plans for an independent regulator, then big changes are coming for clubs, leagues, players and fans.
As a Supporters’ Trust, we are likely to be at the heart of any changes, with a changed job to do on behalf of all our club’s supporters. If you want to be involved, there has never been a better time to be a member of BST.
Important as this is, it is not at the front of people’s minds at the moment. We are glad football is back after a brief suspension and we wish our fans who make the journey to the capital for the Millwall game a safe trip.
It was very disappointing that the FA took the decision to suspend games last weekend, especially when cricket, golf, rugby and other sports carried on. It is very difficult to see what was gained from stopping junior school children playing last weekend and we find it equally hard to believe Her Majesty would have approved of the FA doing so.
It is also a shame that fans were not able to come together to show their appreciation for her and support for King Charles in a way that only football fans can.
Thousands of football fans may be out of pocket as a result of the cancellations as will be the businesses that take revenue from them. Our rearranged game with Middlesbrough is bound to be less well attended and football will lose out in the end.
Our feeling is that the FA has done a poor job of reading the mood of the country and representing our interests. Unfortunately, it was ever thus.
After the Millwall game, the Championship goes into brief hibernation for an international break before games come thick and fast in October.
The break probably comes at a good time for us and gives players a chance to get back to full fitness. Squad strength is going to be very important as we approach another break for the World Cup.
This winter is likely to bring economic challenges on a scale we have not seen in recent times and none of us will escape them entirely. It is vital that all of us look out for those who are in a worse position than ourselves.
It is probably a good moment therefore to promote the work of Blackpool FC Community Trust (BFCCT). We are very lucky to have this award-winning organisation in our town and their work to support vulnerable people has never been more important or under more stress.
We at BST are very proud to be able to work with them as a partner, especially on Foodbank collections, which are to be a regular feature before home games this season. You have been very generous in supporting this work and hope you will continue to be.

Gardens gift us in so many ways, but one thing’s for sure – they require a lot of tender loving care.
Gardens gift us in so many ways, but one thing’s for sure – they require a lot of tender loving care.
And while we water and nurture beautiful blooms all summer long and embrace outdoor living when it’s sunny, autumn is not the time to take your foot off the gardening pedal. In fact, there are things you can be getting on with now in preparation for the shift in seasons.
“Getting ready for autumn, for many of us, means looking forward to curling up with a cosy blanket and a steaming mug of hot chocolate,” says Kate Turner, of Evergreen Garden Care (lovethegarden.com/uk-en). “The change of season doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy your outdoor oasis though.”
To make sure your garden’s prepped for the cooler days ahead, Turner suggests the following six things…
1. Deal with thatch
“Thatch is a layer of organic matter that can build up between the leaves and the soil, consisting of dead leaves, grass and root stems,” notes Turner. “The build-up creates a blockage, preventing essential moisture and nutrients from penetrating into the soil and down to the roots.”
She says thatch areas are easy to identify because the ground itself will have a spongy feel, and lack of nutrients will cause dull, dead patches on the lawn.
“The best way to remove thatch is by ‘scarification’, which is the process of raking and removing mulch from the lawn,” says Turner. “There’re a variety of tools available, including a lawn scarifier, that will assist with this process.”
2. Aerate your lawn
Turner says this process allows better penetration of air and water to the root zone of the grass, which is essential for gaining the right nutrients to grow.
“It’s a good way to manage lawns that are affected by drought or water logging,” she says. “Aeration is performed by creating small holes in the soil at certain intervals and depths, and can be done using a garden fork or specially made tools and machines – even aerating shoes are available.”
For most gardens, Turner says this will only need to be done once every few years and small patches of lawn can also be treated individually if required.
3. Feed the grass
“Autumn lawn feeding prepares your lawn for the winter by building up the roots and health of the grass to withstand the cold. It’s important to feed with a specific autumn lawn food, to get the grass ready for the colder, wetter weather of winter and strengthen the lawn ready for spring,” advises Turner.
She says autumn lawn feeds are low in nitrogen, as you don’t want to encourage any soft top growth that can be easily burnt by frost.
Tick off this task and you’ll hopefully be rewarded come next spring.
“Feeding in autumn helps encourage strong root growth,” Turner adds, “so your lawn will recover quickly from a harsh winter and put on lush green growth in spring. Autumn feeding is actually the most important feed and an integral part of lawn care.”
4. Planting prep
Autumn is an ideal time for improving your soil, especially for barren borders and veg patches that are settling down after a busy growing period, she advises. “To get the soil ready for planting, it’s key to prepare the space to free it from weeds and debris, whilst also breaking up the soil structure to help your plants grow their best.”
Using this time to get some good organic material into the soil is ideal. “Homemade compost straight from your compost heap is a great choice, and the composting process can be sped up by using compost maker, as it stimulates bacteria growth from it’s nitrogen rich content,” Turner adds.
Many organic fertilisers and soil improvers are slow-release and long-lasting feeds, she adds, so they can be applied in the autumn months to give the soil a good start for the next growing season in spring. “This is applied by evenly sprinkling the pellets over the soil and mixing in well.”
5. Bring on the borders
Turner’s recommendation? “Get your borders ready to burst with blooms by prepping the area and by digging in Miracle-Gro Premium Border Booster Soil Improver, which is an easy to spread blend of organic nutrients that enriches poor soil and increases yields of fruits and flowers.
“Not only does it improve moisture retention and drainage, but it can also be used as a method of weed prevention. By adding a 5cm thick application of the soil improver to beds or containers, it can aid suppression of weeds.”
Some brilliant bulbs to plant in autumn are daffodils, tulips and crocuses, she says. “And they’re sure to brighten up your beds and borders in the new year, signalling the new season of growth.
“Daffodil ‘February Gold’ is a great pick, with cheery golden-yellow flowers, growing up to 30cm in height, whilst tulip ‘Aladdin’ will bring some dramatic fiery colour in late spring,” she adds. “Easy to plant and incredibly rewarding to watch grow, bulbs prefer a well-drained soil, as too much water can cause the bulb to rot.”
6. Prune roses
If we have a mild autumn, Turner says to keep deadheading your roses to prolong them flowering as long as possible.
“This is especially important if you have climbing roses. Once the rains start to come in, you can ‘tip prune’ to tidy up the plant and reduce the potential for wind rock,” she explains. “The winds in autumn can be quite intense and can actually rock the plants. When the roots are affected, water and frost can get in and cause damage. To tip prune, take the last flower bud and cut back about 10cm from the tip. You should wait until winter when the plants are fully dormant before reshaping,” Turner adds. “There can still be a lot of sap in roses in the autumn.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 16 — Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said he has returned to Umno and wanted to help reform the party that expelled him in 2008.
The Star reported that the senior lawyer said he submitted his membership form during a special Umno briefing at the World Trade Centre here on August 27.
“My only intention is to help Umno. I have retired and there is not much work for me. I am not too busy and I go back to the party; I can help.
“I wish to see Umno more reform minded and more open into renewal where to do it, it must be from ‘within’,” he was quoted as saying during an event in Johor Baru today.
Zaid said he was advised that it would be difficult to try and change Umno from the outside.
“Finally, I feel that it is better for me to be with Umno even though the reform might take a long time,” he said.
Zaid first joined Umno in 2000 and won the Kota Baru seat for the party in the 2004 general election.
He was dropped during the 2008 general election, but was made a senator after Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi appointed him as the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department for legal affairs and judicial reform.
However, Zaid resigned from the Cabinet the same year over his disagreement with the detention without trial of DAP lawmaker Teresa Kok, blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin, and journalist Tan Hoon Cheng.
Umno initially suspended him from the party, before sacking him for attending the events of rival parties.
In 2009, he joined PKR but resigned a year later after an abortive bid for the deputy presidency against Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.
Zaid then formed Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (Kita) in 2010 but resigned as its chief in 2012.
After Kita, Zaid joined DAP in 2017 and was appointed as the Kelantan state chief but he left his fourth political party in 2020.

Bed, Bath & Beyond confirms closure of Plaza del Sol store
Home goods retailer Bed, Bath & Beyond announced plans to close 56 stores through the end of this year, including its location at the Plaza del Sol shopping center in Bayamón.
The store is among what the chain has identified as its 150 underperforming locations, according to reports.
When the two-story Bayamón store closes, there will be a single Bed, Bath & Beyond location left in Puerto Rico, as a third store it had in Canóvanas closed a while back.
Bed, Bath & Beyond has had a rough go in the first half of 2022, reporting a 26% decline in year-over-year sales through the second quarter.
In an interim update of its operational results company officials also predicted a decline of 20% during the second half of this year, which would be a slight improvement over the first half.
But improving performance, the company confirmed it would be “right sizing” its fleet of stores as well as workforce reductions. Bed, Bath and Beyond also owns buybuyBaby and Harmon.
The company also plans to scale back on its plan for capital expenditures for Fiscal 2022, to $250 million from the $400 million originally announced. It has hit the pause button on store remodeling plans and new openings for the remainder of the fiscal year, officials confirmed in the presentation.
The chain plans to expand its digital offers and services and bring back more of what it called its customer’s “favorite national brands” into its Bed, Bath and Beyond inventory, while lowering its private label products.
“The changes we are making are aimed at serving our customers, driving growth and profitability, and delivering on business returns,” the chain’s executive stated in the presentation.

In recent years, the Yorkshire outfit have introduced a large number of players from their development side into the senior team.
Leeds Under-21s were relegated from Premier League 2 Division One last season, and the Whites appointed Skubala as the manager of the team in the hope that he would take them back up.
Under the guidance of Skubala, Leeds Under-21s have begun the season impressively and sit at the top of the Division Two table with ten points from four matches.
Skubala’s side will entertain Southampton Under-21s tonight at Elland Road and the Englishman believes one of the difficulties young players confront is their lack of experience playing in front of large crowds.
The Whites’ Under-21s boss pointed out that a stadium packed with fans can create difficulties for players to communicate effectively through noises and also make it more difficult for coaches to give instructions to guide their players.
“It’s one of the challenges, isn’t it, of youth development and academies? They don’t really have many experiences to play in front of big crowds and whether we like it or not, it creates its own pressures and creates its own environment”, Skubala told the Yorkshire Evening Post.
“One of the biggest things that I think academy players don’t realise is when you speak to them in front of the 40,000 people, you can’t hear each other.
“The crowd is making the noise and in a game that hasn’t got big crowds, you can obviously speak and help your players through games.
“But at certain points, they’re the gladiators and they have to go out there.”
The Whites’ this summer’s transfer deadline day signing, Wilfried Gnonto is expected to make his debut in a Leeds shirt against Southampton Under-21s.

BEIJING: A fire engulfed a skyscraper Friday in the central Chinese city of Changsha, with authorities saying that no casualties had yet been found.
The blaze broke out in a 42-floor building housing an office of state-owned telecommunications company China Telecom, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
“Thick smoke billowed from the site, and dozens of floors burned ferociously,” CCTV reported.
The provincial fire department said later in a social media post that “at present, the fire has been extinguished, and we have not yet discovered any casualties”.
An initial photograph released by CCTV showed orange flames searing through the building in a built-up area of the city as black smoke billowed into the sky.
A later image shared on social media appeared to show that the flames had subsided, as emergency personnel sprayed jets of water onto its charred facade.
China Telecom said in a statement on social media: “By around 4:30 pm today, the fire at our No. 2 Communications Tower in Changsha has been extinguished.
“No casualties have yet been discovered and communications have not been cut off.”
A video shared on social media appeared to show dozens of people fleeing the building as flaming debris fell from the upper floors.
AFP was not immediately able to verify the footage.
Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, has a population of about 10 million people.
The 218-metre (715-foot) building was completed in 2000 and is located near a major ring road, according to CCTV.
Deadly fires are common in China, where lax enforcement of building codes and rampant unauthorised construction can make it difficult for people to flee burning buildings.
In July last year, a warehouse fire in northeastern Jilin province killed at least 15 people and injured at least 25, according to state media reports.
The month before that, a fire killed 18 people - mostly children - at a martial arts school in central Henan province, causing an uproar over fire safety standards.
A further two dozen people died in a pair of blazes in Beijing’s migrant neighbourhoods in 2017, while 58 perished when a huge fire swept through a 28-storey Shanghai housing block in 2010.

Ex Nevada deputy AG Tudeo Chirila Jr, 77, who ran for state Supreme Court is arrested in Reno over 1972 homicide in Hawaii of 19 year old woman after cops said DNA evidence linked him: She had been stabbed more than 50 times
- Tudor Chirila Jr., 77, is being held in Reno as a suspect in a 1972 Hawaii homicide
- He is accused of stabbing Nancy Anderson, 19, 60 times in her apartment
- DNA evidence has linked him to the killing, police have said
A former deputy Nevada attorney general who ran for the state Supreme Court and was later affiliated with the infamous Mustang Ranch brothel has been arrested in Reno as a suspect in a 1972 homicide in Hawaii.
Tudor Chirila Jr., 77, was being held Thursday in the Washoe County Jail without bail on a charge of being a fugitive from another state.
In a criminal complaint accusing Chirila of second-degree murder, Honolulu police said DNA evidence linked him to the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Nancy Anderson.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser first reported that Chirila was arrested Wednesday - five decades after police say he stabbed the teen more than 60 times and left her body in her Waikiki apartment on January 7, 1972.
Anderson had moved to Hawaii in October 1971 and was working at a McDonald's restaurant after graduating from high school the year before in Bay City, Michigan, the newspaper said.
Tudor Chirila Jr., 77, was being held Thursday in the Washoe County Jail without bail on a charge of being a fugitive from another state
Honolulu police said DNA evidence linked him to the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Nancy Anderson
It wasn't immediately clear if Chirila had an attorney or will be appointed one. Jail records don't indicate when he´s scheduled to make his initial court appearance.
The criminal complaint filed this week in district court in Hawaii said police had reopened the cold case multiple times since the killing and received a tip in December that Chirila could be a suspect.
In March, police obtained a DNA sample from Chirila's son, John Chirila of Newport Beach, California, that identified him as the biological child of a DNA sample found at the crime scene, according to the criminal complaint.
On September 6, Reno police served a search warrant and collected a DNA sample from Tudor Chirila at his Reno apartment.
Two days later he tried to commit suicide, and on Wednesday was booked into the county jail in Reno, the Reno Gazette Journal reported Thursday.
Over the years, police in Hawaii investigated multiple suspects, including door-to-door knife salesmen who were there to to try to sell knives hours earlier, the newspaper said.
Police say he stabbed the teen more than 60 times and left her body in her Waikiki apartment on Jan. 7, 1972
But the salesmen volunteered fingerprints and passed polygraph tests.
Other potential suspects questioned over the years included Anderson's former boyfriends and the property manager where she lived.
Chirila, a longtime attorney in Reno, Carson City and the Lake Tahoe area, served as a deputy attorney general in the late 1970s and ran unsuccessfully for the Nevada Supreme Court in 1994.
In a 1998 federal indictment, U.S. prosecutors in Reno identified him as the former president of a company, A.G.E. Corp., that served a front for Nevada brothel boss Joe Conforte.
The indictment accused Conforte and others of being part of an elaborate conspiracy to defraud the government in bankruptcy proceedings when the Mustang Ranch east of Reno was seized by the IRS, sold for back taxes in 1990 and illegally repurchased by Conforte and his cohorts.
The government claimed Conforte hid his assets during bankruptcy proceedings to cheat the government and buy back the legal brothel under hidden ownership, The Associated Press reported at the time.
Testifying as a government witness, Chirila acknowledged he knew the corporation was owned and controlled by Conforte, who had disappeared and was believed to be a fugitive in South America when the case went to trial in 1999.
Chirila filed suit against Conforte in 1998 seeking $14million in damages, alleging Conforte wrongly fired him for cooperating with federal prosecutors.

Windward's Maritime AI™ platform is driving digital transformation in the commodity trading industry by mitigating trade and sanctions compliance risk
LONDON, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Windward (LSE: WNWD), the leading Maritime AI™ company, announced today that it has signed agreements with three Swiss commodity trading companies. The companies, involved in the trading of oil and gas, petrochemicals, bulk products, fertilizers, and soft commodities, will use Windward's platform to enhance due diligence and vessel screening processes, and to mitigate trade and sanctions compliance risk.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has brought turbulence to the commodity trading industry with sanctions against Russia evolving on a regular basis. New regulations set by the US, EU, and G7 will create even further complications with price caps set on crude oil starting in December 2022 and oil products in February 2023. These regulations identify and list deceptive shipping practices which are being increasingly used by vessels to evade sanctions.
Since the beginning of the conflict, there has been a drastic increase in Russian vessels engaging in dark activity and using ship-to-ship transfers to transport goods including allegedly stolen Ukrainian grain, making it even more difficult for businesses to ascertain legitimate and 'clean-conscious' deals. In light of the new sanctions, all service providers involved in maritime trade ranging from traders to insurers now need a comprehensive awareness of risk related to all entities they do business with.
The three Swiss commodity traders will use Windward's platform to enhance their due diligence and screening processes to mitigate all maritime related risks including sanctions risk, compliance risk, and risk associated with third parties including customers, vendors, employees, contractors, and others. Windward's platform analyzes numerous factors including vessel behaviors, ownership structures, company risks, and others, predicting in real-time which companies and vessels are likely to be high risk, and which are safe to conduct business with.
"No matter where in the world a company trades, it's increasingly becoming more complex and the risks involved are becoming greater," said Ami Daniel, Co-founder and CEO of Windward. "The upcoming cap on Russian oil prices complicates the process even further, adding more risk factors that traders must look out for including new companies in high risk regimes and abnormal patterns. As sanctions continuously evolve and geopolitical tensions turn into real-life trade issues, companies need the help of advanced technology and AI to efficiently monitor, screen, and vet their business partners to successfully mitigate risk."
Windward's Maritime AI™ solution is powered by advanced machine learning and behavioral analytics models, empowering its clients across the government, finance, shipping, energy sectors, and beyond to optimize business practices and efficiently navigate all aspects of maritime risk in real-time.
About Windward
Windward (LSE: WNWD), a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange, is the leading Maritime AI™ company, enabling organizations to achieve business and operational readiness.

CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors this week scored multiple convictions against R. Kelly at the singer’s trial in Chicago, but they lost on the headline charge — that Kelly obstructed justice by rigging his 2008 state child pornography trial, at which jurors acquitted him.
Kelly co-defendant and longtime business manager Derrel McDavid was also acquitted on the same count, as well as three other charges.
After the verdict, U.S. Attorney John Lausch expressed disappointment in not winning convictions across the board. But he said Kelly was still looking at a prison sentence of 10 to 90 years. He said he was pleased Kelly was “finally being held accountable.”
Sentencing is set for Feb. 23. Kelly, 55, is already serving a 30-year prison term imposed by a federal judge in New York for racketeering and sex trafficking.
At least one legal expert said obstruction of justice charges aren’t generally hard to prove. “But in this case,” said Phil Turner, a former federal prosecutor in Chicago, “the facts just weren’t there.”
Jurors also acquitted Kelly of receiving child pornography and one count of producing child pornography. He was convicted of producing child pornography and enticing girls for sex. His attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, plans to appeal.
Here’s a look at the trial-fixing charge:
WHAT DID PROSECUTORS ALLEGE?
The claim was that Kelly and McDavid conspired to ensure key witnesses at the 2008 trial would lie about Kelly’s sexual abuse of girls and refuse to testify.
Prosecutors also alleged Kelly and McDavid concealed critical evidence. Witnesses at the just-ended trial described their frantic scramble to recover lost Kelly videos of himself sexually abusing girls.
They offered six — and in at least one case seven — figure payoffs in cash for the return of videos, which prosecutors said they knew would lead to a conviction in 2008.
The conspirators, said prosecutors, applied particular pressure on a girl — now 37 and referred to in federal court as “Jane” — and her parents. State and federal prosecutors said she was the girl Kelly is seen sexually abusing on a VHS tape that was at the heart of the 2008 trial.
DID THE PRESSURE WORK?
Prosecutors said it did.
Jane and her parents said they lied to a grand jury in the early 2000s about Kelly’s sexual abuse, and they didn’t testify at the 2008 trial. Jurors at that trial said they had no choice but to acquit Kelly because the victim did not testify.
“That jury was scammed. They were scammed by Robert Kelly and his fixers,” prosecutor Jeannice Appenteng told jurors this week, using Kelly’s given first name.
Federal prosecutors said the payoffs that started in the early 2000s included funding trips by Jane and her parents to the Bahamas and Cancun, Mexico.
Critically to their theory of the case, federal prosecutors also alleged Kelly intermittently paid Jane’s rent — by then in her 30s — until just several years ago to ensure she kept quiet.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES FOR PROSECUTORS?
Steps Kelly and others allegedly took to fix the 2008 trial happened two decades ago, so memories of how the purported crime unfolded have dimmed. At least four men who may have had direct knowledge of what happened have since died.
Among them was Jane’s father, who died a year ago.
For the child pornography count, the evidence included video that jurors saw. On enticement, they heard directly from Kelly accusers — Jane, Nia, Pauline and Tracy. One of the enticement counts they didn’t convict him on was related to an accuser who did not testify.
WHAT WITNESSES DID PROSECUTORS CALL?
Their star witness was Jane.
On the stand, she said publicly for the first time that she was the girl in the video at the center of both the federal trial and the trial 14 years ago. She said she was 14 in the video and that the man was Kelly, who would have been around 30.
She testified she lied to a state grand jury in 2002 when she said that it was not her. She said she wanted to protect Kelly, and added: “I also did not want that person to be me. … I was ashamed.”
Jane’s mother, who went by “Susan,” also testified. She said she lied to the state grand jury, in part because she and her husband felt threatened by Kelly and feared for their lives.
Susan said she, her husband and Kelly cried as the parents confronted Kelly about sexually abusing their daughter. While asking for forgiveness, she said Kelly also said: “You are either with us or against us.”
She took Kelly’s words as a threat. “We were very, very frightened,” she said.
Another key witness was Kelly’s ex-girlfriend Lisa Van Allen. She told jurors she stole a sex video around 2000 from a gym bag Kelly had that was full of such recordings on a rare occasion when he left it unattended.
Van Allen said McDavid told her in 2007 that she should have been killed for all the trouble she caused Kelly.
WHAT DID DEFENSE LAWYERS TELL JURORS?
They repeatedly attacked the credibility of the government’s main witnesses, noting that most testified with immunity, including Jane, her mom and Van Allen.
“They came in here to tell the government’s version of the truth,” Bonjean, Kelly’s lawyer, said.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE JURORS HAD DOUBTS ABOUT?
Kelly’s payments for Jane’s rent, what they were for and how long they lasted was critical to deciding guilt on the trial-fixing charge.
That’s because the federal statute of limitation says someone can’t be charged with such a conspiracy if it ceased within five years of an indictment.
Kelly and McDavid were indicted on that and other charges in 2019. So prosecutors had to show the conspiracy ran up to at least 2014. The rent payments to Jane after 2014, they say, was part of the continuous conspiracy.
Attorneys for Kelly and McDavid balked at the claim that the rent payments were hush money. They noted that Kelly remained friendly with Jane and her parents for many years after the 2008 trial. Jane testified, too, that she cared deeply for Kelly at least until his 2019 indictment.
Defense lawyers argued that, even if there ever was a conspiracy, it didn’t last beyond 2014.
WHAT WERE SOME OF OTHER ARGUMENTS?
Defense attorneys said several core government interpretations of things Kelly said were a stretch.
For example, they said Kelly’s remark to Jane’s parents that “you are either with us or against us” could have meant any number of things — not only that Kelly would hurt them financially or otherwise.
Bonjean also questioned why Susan continued to mix with Kelly socially for the next 20 years, if she felt so threatened.
McDavid’s lawyer, Beau Brindley, also mocked Van Allen’s claim that McDavid threatened to kill her, sarcastically referring to his client as a “murderous accountant.”

ARCA driver Toni Breidinger becomes Victoria's Secret model: 'Little me is crying'
Toni Breidinger has five top 10 finishes in the ARCA Menards Series this season, picking up her most recent at the Kansas Lottery 150 this past weekend.
The 23-year-old is one of the most accomplished drivers in United States Auto Club history and even flirted with possibly competing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series last year. On Wednesday, she added another bona fide accomplishment to her résumé — Victoria’s Secret model.
Breidinger made the announcement in an Instagram post.
"little me is crying. growing up I struggled a lot with body confidence. this past year I focused on my mental and physical health over appearance. I’m honored to be part of @victoriassecret family. Thank you for letting me feel confident in my own skin!" she wrote.
The Venturini Motorsports team member boasts about 273,000 followers on Instagram.
"Wishing you all the confidence and luck tomorrow in Bristol! We’re so lucky you’re a part of the #VSFamily," Victoria’s Secret wrote in the comments section.
Noah Gragson, who competes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, was among those who congratulated Breidinger.
In May, she opened up to The Spun about the balance she found with racing and doing other side projects.
"Social media is a big part of this day and age. You can’t expect to get brands and sponsors without a social media following, that’s just how it is. In general, I love social media. Even before I was racing professionally I loved it. I enjoy being on different platforms and interacting with fans," she said.
"It’s important to balance it because there are positive aspects of it. However, there are negative comments on social media from time to time. The best way for me to balance it is by staying off social media during race day."

I have always known my grandmother. It seems a silly thing to say. But then the opposite statement is true, too. For the first 33 years of my life, I didn’t really know her at all. Or, rather, I knew one version of her, as smoothed by repeated handling as the “special stones” my sister and I used to collect from the dried-up riverbed near her house in northeastern Italy, where vast corn fields meet the Alps. We had fossilised her and carried her around in our pockets since childhood, never questioning the solidity of the image: the quintessential nonna; a benign nonagenarian, whose soft hands could cover my entire face, whose apron pocket contained more than seemed possible (sweets, scissors, thimbles, needle and thread, reading glasses, the TV guide…), and whose stories we had all heard 10,000 times. We tended to think of them as monologues, requiring nothing of us, as much a part of the family diet as the modest but delicious meals she cooks.
I’d be exaggerating if I said all this changed one summer a few years ago, although the seams did start to fray (an analogy apt for this woman who spent her life running up clothes on her trusty Necchi machine). That’s what happens when you start asking questions.
It started with dandelions, whose leaves we have always eaten, warm and wilted, slicked with olive oil and a splash of lemon. They punctuate our meals and our conversations, never failing to elicit the story of Nonna rousing the suspicion of the locals in Manchester, where she had emigrated after the Second World War, as she combed urban wastelands gathering the dark, fortifying greens. “The English never knew how good dandelions taste!” One man’s weeds are another’s treasure.
“Where would you put them?” I asked one night at dinner, as the dandelion bowl passed from hand to hand, bobbing and weaving past steaming dishes of polenta and a rich stew of wild boar.
Nonna looked at me blankly.
“In your apron? In a bag? A plastic bag? Did they even exist in the ’50s…?”
“I don’t remember,” she said eventually. “Che importa?” What does it matter?
I decided that, after decades of letting this story wash over me, it did matter – they all did. The next morning, we sat down together, the blinds dropped against the oppressive heat of the plains. Around us were scattered yellowing photographs and other items – a votive candle, an address book, a postcard from a dear old cousin, a lock of hair – usually confined to the chaos of the cupboard above the TV (where you’ll also find biscuits and an obscene amount of paracetamol).

This new energy model currently has been launched in Australia, Thailand, and other regions.
CarExpert, a famous Australian automobile media, commented after the test drive, "The HAVAL H6 HEV is a good hybrid SUV. It shuffles smartly between petrol and electric power to deliver a blend of performance and economy, and a surprising turn of speed when you need it."
As shown in the sales data released by the company, HAVAL H6 HEV has ranked top in Thailand's Class C SUV market for a total of 10 months since it had been launched as of the end of July this year.
The L.E.M.O.N. DHT is independently designed and developed by GWM, which has the advantages of being highly integrated, high-intelligent and high adaptability. Through an intelligent control system, it can automatically switch the driving modes, such as EV, parallel-series connection, series connection and energy recovery, based on the current driving scenarios.
This allows the vehicle to provide users with fuel-efficient driving experiences in urban conditions and powerful driving experiences at a high speed. The system can be equipped in both HEV and PHEV power architectures.
In August this year, GWM HAVAL officially announced that it has started an all-around transformation to the new energy track. The company plans to raise its sales proportion of new energy models to 80% by 2025.
HAVAL, backed by the GWM L.E.M.O.N. DHT, will produce more new energy SUVs for worldwide users, which not only can adapt to their using habits about fuel vehicles, but also relieve the anxiety of driving range and safety of the new energy vehicles.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Just hours after a Montana judge blocked health officials from enforcing a state rule that would prevent transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate, the Republican-run state on Thursday said it would defy the order.
District Court Judge Michael Moses chided attorneys for the state during a hearing in Billings for circumventing his April order that temporarily blocked a 2021 Montana law that made it harder to change birth certificates.
Moses said there was no question that state officials violated his earlier order by creating the new rule. Moses said his order reinstates a 2017 Department of Public Health and Human Services rule that allowed people to update the gender on their birth certificate by filing an affidavit with the department.
However, the state said it would disregard the ruling.
“The Department thoroughly evaluated the judge’s vague April 2022 decision and crafted our final rule to be consistent with the decision. It’s unfortunate that the judge’s ruling today does not square with his vague April decision,” said Charlie Brereton, director of the Department of Public Health and Human Services.
Brereton said the agency was keeping the rule it issued last week in place and an agency spokesperson said the department is waiting to see the judge’s written order before considering its next steps.
ACLU attorney Malita Picasso expressed dismay with the agency’s stance and said officials should immediately start processing requests for birth certificate changes.
“It’s shocking that after this morning’s hearing the department would allege there was any lack of clarity in the court’s ruling from the bench,” Picasso said. “It was very clear that Judge Moses expressly required a reversion to the 2017 policy, and anything short of that is a continued flagrant violation of the court’s order.”
Such open defiance of judge’s order is very unusual from a government agency, said Carl Tobias, a former University of Montana Law School professor now at the University of Richmond. When officials disagree with a ruling, the typical response is to appeal to a higher court, he said.
“Appeal is what you contemplate — not that you can nullify a judge’s orders. Otherwise, people just wouldn’t obey the law,” Tobias said. “The system can’t work that way.”’
The move could leave state officials open to contempt of court charges, which in some cases can lead to jail time for offenders, Tobias said. He added that the attorneys representing the state were likely aware of the potential consequences but were “caught in the middle” between a recalcitrant agency and the judge.
The legal dispute comes as conservative lawmakers in numerous states have sought to restrict transgender rights, including with bans on transgender girls competing in girls school sports.
The Montana law said people had to have a “surgical procedure” before they could change the sex listed on their birth certificate, something Moses found to be unconstitutional because it did not specify what type of procedure was required.
Gov. Greg Gianforte’s administration then created a new rule that blocked changes to birth certificates entirely, unless there was a clerical error.
Moses said during Thursday morning’s hearing that his April ruling had been “clear as a bell” and compared the state’s subsequent actions to a person twice convicted of assault who tries to change their name following a third accusation to avoid a harsher punishment.
“Isn’t that exactly what happened here?” Moses asked. “I’m a bit offended the department thinks they can do anything they want.”
One of the plaintiffs in the case, Amelia Marquez, said she was disgusted by the state’s response.
“We have people that think that they’re above the law and don’t have to listen to the judiciary branch of our government,” she said.
After learning the state planned to defy the court order, Shawn Reagor with the Montana Human Rights Network said the organization “will not stand by while the Gianforte administration blatantly disregards rulings from the courts to continue a vindictive attack on the trans community.”
Only Tennessee, Oklahoma and West Virginia have sweeping prohibitions against birth certificate changes similar to what Montana has pursued, advocates for transgender rights say. Bans in Idaho and Ohio were struck down in 2020.
A Republican lawmaker who voted in favor of the 2021 law suggested Moses was biased in favor of the plaintiffs in the case. Moses was appointed to the court by former Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat.
“Like clockwork, Judge Moses issued yet another predetermined order in favor of liberal plaintiffs without thoroughly engaging with the legal issues at hand,” Sen. Greg Hertz of Polson said in a statement.
The ACLU of Montana had asked Moses to clarify his order after the state health department enacted its new temporary rule effectively banning birth certificate changes a month after Moses handed down his temporary injunction in the case. That rule was made permanent last week.
The state argued the injunction did not prevent the health department from making rules, but Moses said under case law the injunction reinstated the 2017 rules and any other changes are on hold while the case is decided.
State officials denied that the new rule preventing birth certificate changes was adopted in bad faith. Montana Assistant Solicitor Kathleen Smithgall said the state came up with the new rule to fill a gap in regulations after the 2021 law was blocked.
“Judge Moses mischaracterized the words of his own order, the parties’ motives, and the state of the law,” said Kyler Nerison, a spokesperson for Attorney General Austin Knudsen.

Grant Enfinger, No. 23 Champion Power Equipment Chevrolet Silverado RST
START: 4TH
FINISH: 4TH
POINTS: 7TH
Quote: You know what happened tonight, you finished in the Top-5, but still fall below that cut line, so what do you take away from Bristol?
“Yeah, I mean honestly, we’re in the same position that we were coming here. I feel like we are in a must-win situation, but we gave it everything we could. We had a pretty okay Champion Power Equipment Chevy. If we could have gotten out to the lead, we could have stole it. But running fifth, we were a fifth place truck; running fifteenth, we were a fifteenth place truck. It is what it is, we made the right call to try and win the race there. I don’t know if we were good enough to do that, but that was the strategy that we chose. I think we would have balanced out either way points wise, but we would have had a worse finish if we opted for the stage points. But overall, we were making gains; anytime we show up to a short track, we want to contend for a win, and we didn’t do that tonight. [I was] hoping to steal one tonight, but congratulations to Ty and those guys, they did a great job tonight.”
Yeah, he was able to get his first win. Now, you are a student of the sport, I know that you watch all of these guys and watch how these races unfold, but as you look ahead to these next two races in this Round of 8, what do you need to do inside of the truck?
“I think we need to be aggressive and go for a win, you know? Yeah, it’s possible to point our way in, but I’m not banking on that. Obviously, we’re going to Talladega, the hometown track next, which is enjoyable, but definitely you can’t count on anything there. But I’m really looking forward to finishing the year off strong. I feel like we’ve got an opportunity to win anytime we show up. You know Hensley and I have run really well at Homestead as well. I feel like we can win either of these next two, and that’s what we’ve got to do.”
Jack Wood, No. 24 ChevyLiners.com Chevrolet Silverado RST

Quote: “It was just very much a track position race tonight. I think we had a good ChevyLiners.com truck, but just got caught on the outside a lot and couldn’t do much to defend. I think tonight could have went a lot better than it did, but I think we are headed in the right direction, so it’s definitely promising. I think if a couple of things could have fell our way, we probably could have been in a better spot, but I’m looking forward to heading to Talladega.”

DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A spokesperson for Greg Lindberg provided the following update regarding the exit of his North Carolina insurance companies from rehabilitation:
- Lindberg states that there is a "ready and willing" buyer for his NC insurance companies who has offered to pay "several hundred million dollars" for these companies so that they can be sold and exit rehabilitation immediately. At the time of sale, policyholders will be able to access all their benefits, Lindberg says. "The North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI) has yet to respond to a Letter of Intent from a highly qualified buyer for my North Carolina insurance companies," Lindberg says. "My insurance companies successfully exiting rehabilitation utilizing our recommendations will prove that the allegations about liquidity and questions about our financial strength have been false since day one," Lindberg says.
- Lindberg also reports that he has authorized the "immediate sale" of several of Global Growth's portfolio companies that will generate well over $1 billion of proceeds that can be used to purchase affiliated assets from the North Carolina insurers as part of the rehab exit plan. "We are not waiting for the NCDOI," Lindberg says. "We are proceeding now with sale transactions that will result in the immediate rehab exit of my North Carolina insurers." Lindberg notes that the proposed 7-year rehab plan by the NCDOI is being litigated in court. "7 years is unacceptable," Lindberg says. "The way I see it, everyone wants these companies out of rehab now so policyholders can access their benefits immediately," Lindberg says.
- Lindberg also says that third party lenders are "ready and willing" to provide financing that will result in the immediate paydown of over $150 million in affiliated loans to the North Carolina insurers. "Blocking these loans directly impacts policyholders and keeps the North Carolina insurers from exiting rehabilitation," Lindberg says.
- Lindberg says that his North Carolina insurers would have reduced their percentage of affiliated assets below the new 10% North Carolina statutory limit way back in December of 2018 had the governing parties been actually interested in protecting policyholders. "In August of 2018 Global Growth was very close to closing an $600 million financing that would have paid down affiliated assets below 10% of total assets," Lindberg says. "In fact, the lender that was providing this $600 million loan expressed to the NCDOI that the financing was looking "strong" and there were already "orders in the book." Unfortunately, this financing, along with several other financing attempts, were withdrawn or halted as a result of the investigation.
- Lindberg says that at the end of 2018, his team was in discussions with another large lender to provide up to $1 billion in financing as part of this lender's purchase of his North Carolina insurers. "In December of 2018 however, I was informed that someone from 'the government' called this lender and told them not to underwrite any loans to us," Lindberg says. "This type of behavior only serves to undermine Global Growth and none of this helps policyholders," Lindberg says.
- Despite these challenges, Lindberg says that the Global Growth companies have worked diligently to re-establish credit market access. Global Growth companies have closed over $1.2 billion of third-party financing so far this year, Lindberg reports. "Through it all, Global Growth has proven its resiliency, businesses are performing very well, and lenders are making loans to Global Growth companies," Lindberg says.
Lindberg notes that Mike Causey ran for the position of North Carolina Insurance Commissioner five times before winning by less than 1% of the vote. Lindberg says that he had supported Causey's opponent. "From my perspective, the root of this problem is politics. All my insurance companies were seeking was fair and equitable regulation," Lindberg says.
After the government accused Lindberg of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud and bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit unanimously agreed that his conviction violated his Constitutional rights and must be vacated.
Lindberg says he will "continue to fight until every policyholder is paid out."

A man who was found dead in a moat at a Royal Navy training base likely suffered a cardiac event and then drowned, an inquest has heard.
Andrew West, 51, was found lying face down in the Fort Rowner moat at the HMS Sultan Navy training base in Gosport, Hampshire, on June 3 2021.
The inquest into his death concluded in Winchester on Thursday.
Mr West had worked as a networks engineer at the site since 1981. Outside work, his passions were cycling, attending concerts and festivals, theatre, travelling abroad, real ale and photography.
Mr West often took pictures of the moat and its wildlife during his lunch breaks and he had a digital camera with him at the time of his death. Analysis of the camera’s memory card found he had taken five pictures within two hours of being found in the water.
Errol Morris, a contractor at the Navy base, was taking a walk on the path alongside the moat on his lunch break when he saw what he first thought was a plastic bag in the water at around 12.45pm.
On closer inspection Mr Morris realised it was a body and he used a nearby steel pole to bring the body nearer to the bank so he could pull it out of the water. The moat is believed to be around three metres deep.
Mr Morris pulled Mr West’s body halfway out of the water and then carried out chest compressions for 10 minutes. He phoned a colleague who alerted the Royal Navy Police and an ambulance was called but Mr West was not breathing and no pulse was found.
The ambulance service arrived just after 1.30pm and resuscitation was attempted for an hour but Mr West was declared dead at 2.36pm.
Evidence from both the Royal Navy Police and Hampshire Constabulary found there was no third party involvement or suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
Dr Adnan Al-Badri, who conducted the post-mortem examination, found no signs of defensive or any other injuries on Mr West’s body, and no signs of natural disease aside from a documented history of asthma and Type 2 diabetes.
Water and grit were found in Mr West’s mouth and lungs, suggesting he had inhaled water and drowned. Mr West was able to swim but there was no evidence at the scene to suggest he had tried to get out of the water.
Mr West’s heart was also enlarged, only eight grams lighter than a weight which would indicate a fatal cardiac event.
Therefore Dr Al-Badri concluded: “The cause of death is probable drowning.
“It’s unlikely it was simply drowning, so it’s likely he had a cardiac event which caused him to fall into the water, he was incapacitated by the cardiac event and became unable to swim to the surface and died by drowning.”
Andy Cross, contracts manager at HMS Sultan for the Ministry of Defence infrastructure organisation, said safety measures had been increased “above and beyond” legal requirements since Mr West’s death.
While they had met legal requirements for signage, ladders and life rings previously, all 27 life rings were replaced, signs have been increased, and ladders have been placed every 25 metres instead of the requirement for every 50 metres. Fencing has also been placed at some points of the banks.
Mr Cross said: “We’ve gone over and above what’s required for our water space. Better safe than sorry.”
Commodore John Boyce, who was Commanding Officer at HMS Sultan at the time, also explained that staff training on dealing with incidents on-site rather than at sea was updated, and signs directing people to call 999 rather than staff phone numbers were installed.
Coroner Rosamund Rhodes-Kent concluded that the medical cause of death was probable drowning, and Mr West’s death was an accident.
She said: “There must have been something, but I don’t know what it was, that meant when he hit the water he was unconscious, because if he wasn’t unconscious he would have tried to get himself out of the water.
“I had to investigate if there were any mental health issues that may have led Andrew to do this himself, but from the evidence I got from friends, family and colleagues everyone said he was absolutely fine, his usual self.
“The most appropriate conclusion, I think, is accident because I think if he hadn’t fallen into the water he would not have drowned – if it had happened on land he would have had a greater chance of surviving.
“There is no need for a Prevention of Future Deaths report because a huge amount of steps were taken within six months to increase what was already there. There was nothing wrong with what was already there but measures have been increased.”

EXPECT Nemo Rangers and Castlehaven to progress to the semi-finals of the Bon Secours county PSFC at Páirc Uí Chaoimh tomorrow, but Ballincollig-Carbery Rangers is impossible to call at headquarters on Sunday.
That’s the general view going into a bumper weekend of football with crunch make-or-break games in all four grades as those already qualified for the last four await their next opponents.
From the outset, Nemo and the Haven were roundly tipped to again make the business end of the championship though the city club’s unexpected early departure last season broke a long sequence.
The pair were even matched up in the group stage along with last season’s beaten county finalists Clonakilty and Newcestown, a team never to admit defeat.
Centenary celebrating Nemo, captained this year by Luke Connolly, carried their impressive league form into the championship starting with a 2-10 to 1-5 win over Newcestown in horrible conditions, when Connolly and Mark Cronin supplied the goals.
They were involved in a thriller against the Haven, Nemo surging 2-9 to 1-6 clear at the break following a second-minute penalty from Connolly and a rare Kevin Fulignati goal with Jack Cahalane replying spectacularly for the west Cork side.
A change in approach by the Haven resulted in a much different second half, batches of five and four unanswered points whittling the lead until Mark Collins restored parity at 1-14 to 2-11 with four minutes on the clock.
Then, Brian Hurley edged them in front only for Connolly (who else?) struck for a magical winning goal in stoppage time, 3-13 to 1-16, Nemo just crawling over the line.
Qualification prior to the last group game against Clon eased the pressure though and a low-scoring 0-8 to 0-7 victory maintained their 100% record.
Carbery Rangers were in a similar position after narrow wins over Carrigaline and Eire Og respectively guaranteed a play-off slot before taking on the Barrs, who won by 2-13 to 0-10.
The Rosscarbery club are in transition and happy to be contending, offering the likes of young centre-back Jack Kevane a taste of life at the higher echelons of the club game.
James Fitzpatrick and John Hayes are normally held in reserve though Alan Jennings continues to give great service while the O’Rourkes, John and Peadar, are noted scorers.
Yet, Nemo appear to hold all the aces and there’s a hunger sated by last year’s disappointment with the wide-open expanse of Páirc Uí Chaoimh to their liking, also.
A couple of hours later at 7pm, it’s the Haven against newly promoted Mallow, who won their opening couple of games to advance prior to losing to Douglas.
Despite going down to Nemo, the Haven will have learned much and with the Cahalanes returning to the fold after guiding the ’Barr’s to the hurling semis, there’ll be an air of confidence in the camp.
Mallow’s hot-and-cold display against Douglas puzzled manager Keith Moynihan, who may be tempted to ring the changes after his substitutions turned a 2-10 to 1-2 score line at the three-quarter mark into 2-11 to 2-10 at close of play.
The triple introduction of James Loughrey, Bill Myers and Sean Hayes helped turn matters around as did Peadar Hennessy and Eoghan Barry’s call to arms.
Mallow are a physically imposing side with Cork pair Shane Merritt and Mattie Taylor in the half-back line, Darragh Moynihan and Eoin Stanton at midfield and captain Ryan Harkin and former Cork U20 Sean McDonnell in the inside line.
It may be closer than people think, but the Haven have enough experience and nous to complete the job.
As for Ballincollig-Carbery, Sunday at 5pm? Even Solomon’s wisdom couldn’t figure this one out.
The Village were limping along after losing to Mallow and drawing with Douglas before going up a number of levels in the 4-14 rout of Valleys to edge Douglas on scoring difference.
Cian Dorgan, Sean Kiely and Darren Murphy supplied 3-9 between them and Robert Noonan the other goal.
Carbery have serious momentum with five wins to their credit and not as impacted by club games as tends to be the case with representative teams.
The division impressed against UCC and particularly Duhallow, winning by 0-16 to 0-15 with a rejuvenated Brian O’Driscoll again very consistent at midfield.

Ilia Malinin made history late Wednesday when the 17-year-old wunderkind, and the heir apparent to Olympic champion Nathan Chen among American figure skaters, successfully landed the first quad axel in competition.
Malinin pulled off the four-and-a-half revolution jump while winning the lower-level U.S. Classic in Lake Placid, New York, before a small crowd in a mostly empty arena. It nonetheless sent shockwaves through the sport as the final and most difficult of the quadruple jumps had finally been conquered.
“It felt really good. When I’m practicing it, it’s pretty easy for me to figure out how to get the right timing and everything to have it be a good attempt,” said Malinin, whose supreme confidence in his jumping ability is evidenced by use of “quadg0d” on his social media platforms. ”To do it in competition is a different story because you have nerves and pressure that can get in the way of that. So I have to treat it like I’m at home and it feels pretty good.”
Chen, who for now has stepped away from the sport following his triumph at the Beijing Olympics, has toyed with the jump in practice. And two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu was unsuccessful in trying to land it at the Winter Games.
But there had been brief snippets of video Malinin had put out on social media over the past six months that indicated it was a work in progress. There were some reports from his training camp that he had landed the quad axel in practice.
What makes the axel more difficult than the other quads — the flip, toe flip, lutz, salchow, loops and toe loop — is that skaters face forward when they enter the jump, forcing them to complete an extra half revolution. Even the triple axel is hard enough that most women, and many men, have trouble getting it right.
“I had an idea for trying it for a little while now. March or April was when I really started to work on the technique and try to improve it,” Malinin said. “(Hanyu) definitely inspired me to try it here.”
Malinin put the jump first in his free skate, set to “Euphoria” by Labrinth and choreographed by Shae-Lynn Bourne, when he knew that he would be freshest. The base value of 12.50 is more than any other jump, and the 1.00 that Malinin received in grade-of-execution from the judging panel indicated they considered it clean.
“This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen anyone do on the ice,” said Adam Rippon, a member of the 2018 Olympic team.
Malinin scored 185.44 points for his free skate and 257.28 points in total to win the competition. Kevin Aymoz of France was second with 236.17 points while Malinin’s American teammate, Camden Pulkinen, was third with 219.49 points.
Malinin was born in Virginia to Russian-born Uzbekistani skaters Tatiana Malinina and Roman Skorniakov. He’s been considered the next big thing in American figure skating for years. He won Junior Grand Prix events in France and Austria, along with the world championship last year, and was second to Chen at the U.S. championships.
In most Olympic years, that would have made him a lock for the team. But officials with U.S. Figure Skating use a series of factors in making their decision, and they bypassed him in favor of adding Vincent Zhou and Jason Brown.
Chen ultimately won gold in record-setting fashion. He joined Zhou in skating the team competition, where the Americans won a silver medal that could still be elevated to gold pending the results of a Russian doping investigation.
Meanwhile, Malinin continued to work away from the spotlight on a jump that some thought impossible.
“Ilia Malinin landed the first quadruple axel in history tonight at an event in Lake Placid, NY, home of so many great American sporting moments,” two-time U.S. Olympian Johnny Weir, now a figure skating analyst for NBC Sports, tweeted afterward. “ 4.5 revolutions in the blink of an eye. Bravo!”
The U.S. Classic is an early season event that doesn’t get the attention of the Grand Prix events, which begin with Skate America on Oct. 21 in Boston. Malinin is scheduled to make his senior debut there in a field that includes Olympic silver medalist Yuma Kagiyama of Japan, a two-time runner-up at the world championships.
Malinin’s other Grand Prix assignment this season is Nov. 25 in Espoo, Finland.

A massive four-team match is set to take place on WWE SmackDown. The winners of the Fatal 4-Way Match will go on to challenge Jimmy and Jey Uso for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships.
The teams involved are all extremely talented. Angel and Humberto, collectively known as Los Lotharios, The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, known as The Street Profits, and lastly, Chad Gable and Otis of The Alpha Academy will all be competing in the Fatal 4-Way.
This upcoming match will be a rematch from RAW last week. The four teams were engaged in a great bout, but it was ultimately interrupted by Braun Strowman. The monstrous superstar made his shocking return to WWE by decimating all of the athletes involved.
With all four teams set to clash once again on WWE SmackDown, a new number one contender will be decided. Which team will go on to challenge The Usos? How will the bout end?
Below are 5 potential finishes for the Four-Team Number One Contender match for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships on WWE SmackDown.
#5. Alpha Academy may pick up a big win on WWE SmackDown
Alpha Academy is a fantastic team. Both Chad Gable and Otis have a lot of tag team experience. Prior to linking up, Otis was a top contender in the tag team ranks alongside Tucker Knight. Meanwhile, Gable has held tag team gold on all three active brands.
There's a strong chance that Alpha Academy will win, but the question is how they may do it. Otis is a powerhouse, so he could get a pinfall victory over somebody. The genius that is Chad Gable, could pull off a win in a number of ways, including pinfall and submission. They're also very capable of cheating to win. Neither is above breaking the rules. Don't be surprised to see Gable do something sneaky to allow their team to win.
The pair of Otis and Chad Gable may be the most intriguing winners. While they are heels, they could either play the babyfaces for a title match or allow The Usos to do so. Regardless, the four superstars would tear down the house if that match takes place.
#4. The Street Profits may earn themselves another title opportunity
The Street Profits first united in NXT. They've won three major tag team titles together on WWE SmackDown, RAW, and NXT. They even won the EVOLVE Tag Team Championship before the promotion shut down in 2020.
If Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins win the bout, they'll do so via pinfall. Neither superstar is a submission expert. While the two can get down and dirty when necessary, neither superstar tends to cheat. A sky-touching Frog Splash by Montez Ford could see the end of the match.
The Street Profits and The Usos have a lot of history. The two teams have clashed numerous times so far this year, with their match at Money in the Bank arguably stealing the show. While it may be too soon for the two teams to lock horns again, their rivalry may never end.
#3. The New Day may win to reignite their rivalry with The Usos
Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston make up two-thirds of The New Day. The popular group is arguably one of the most successful stables and tag teams in the past few decades. Collectively, The New Day has held tag team gold on RAW and WWE SmackDow an impressive 11 times. Their success is unparalleled.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are the most likely team to win the match. While they lost to The Viking Raiders recently, their credentials speak for themselves. Kofi or Woods may pull off a fluke pin out of nowhere, as both are good at getting explosive victories nobody sees coming.
The New Day and The Usos have a rivalry that's lasted nearly a decade. The two teams always seem to clash in high stakes competition. Their rivalry has been so fierce that the two teams even competed inside Hell in a Cell. While some fans may be tired of seeing the two go at it, they're both long tenured tandems for a reason. They're great at what they do.
#2. Los Lotharios may pick up a surprising win on WWE SmackDown
Only one team in the Fatal 4-Way Match scheduled for WWE SmackDown has yet to win tag team gold. Angel and Humberto Carrillo are cousins, but their family bond hasn't brought them championship success yet. Individually, Angel once held the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, but Humberto is yet to win any title at World Wrestling Entertainment.
Humberto and Angel are both excellent athletes, but they've proven to be as devious as they are talented. If Los Lotharios manage to win the Fatal 4-Way match on WWE SmackDown, they'll likely do so by cheating. A win is a win.
Los Lotharios doesn't have much history with The Bloodline's twin brothers. The Usos and The Latin Lovers only clashed once on television and it was earlier this year in a two-minute match. A big-time bout between the two teams could be both fresh and exciting.
#1. Braun Strowman may come out and attack all four teams again on WWE SmackDown
Braun Strowman made his shocking return on RAW the night after NXT Worlds Collide and two nights after WWE Clash at the Castle. As previously noted, he interferred in the ongoing Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match.
There's a chance that the upcoming match on WWE SmackDown will once again be interrupted. The Monster among Men shows wanton disregard for the rules and the wellbeing of other wrestlers. If he wants to crash a segment and attack everybody in his path, he'll do it, and it may happen again.
As much as fans would love to see the popular Braun Strowman appear on WWE SmackDown, they likely won't want to see him interrupt another tag team match. Legends including Vince Russo and Konnan have both spoken out against the finish of the first Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match from last week.
Will a tag team earn a future championship opportunity on WWE SmackDown? Could The Monster Of All Monsters intervene in the bout again? For now, fans will have to wait and find out. If a team does properly leave the match as the winners, The Usos will have their hands full no matter which of the four teams pulls it off.
Who do you think will win the four-team bout set to take place on WWE SmackDown? Give your thoughts in the comments section below.

World-famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses are visiting the Ozarks this fall
The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses will make some special appearances in the Ozarks this fall.
In early October, an eight-horse hitch will be in southwest Missouri, pulling the famous red beer wagon.
The Clydesdales will appear in Hollister and and Branson during their five-day Ozarks tour. This is one of hundreds of stops made annually by the traveling hitches.
On Oct. 6, from 4-6 p.m. the horses will parade around the area near Harter House in Hollister.
The Clydesdales will make a appearance at the Branson Landing on Oct. 7. And on Oct. 9, from noon to 2 p.m., the Clydesdales will be in the area near Price Chopper and Walmart off Highway 76.
The Clydesdales have been a symbol for Budweiser since the 1930s. These 1,800 to 2,300-pound animals make hundreds of appearances each year.
To qualify for a hitch, a Clydesdale must be a gelding at least 4 years of age, 72 inches at the shoulder when fully mature, have a bay coat, a blaze of white on the face, four white legs, and a black mane and tail.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said 310 Cityscape Travel System strollers have been recalled due to faulty brakes.
The recalled models are Cityscape Travel Jogger strollers No. TJ75B12A. The recalled lot number is 111444 0122, and the date of manufacture of the recalled strollers is 10 28 2020, the CSPSC said.
The CPSC said the strollers' parking brake could fail, which could cause the stroller to fall and pose an injury hazard.
The strollers were sold through Amazon early last year for around $175.
Customers are being told to stop using the recalled strollers.
The CSPC said Amazon and Baby Trend are reaching out to affected customers to offer a voucher or full refund. Customers who do not hear from the companies can call Baby Trend at 800-328-7363.

SAMARKAND, Uzbekistan — China’s Xi Jinping said on Friday that the world had entered a new period of turbulence and that partners such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Central Asian leaders should prevent foreign powers from instigating “color revolutions.”
Xi, on his first trip outside China since early 2020, told a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in the ancient Uzbek Silk Road city of Samarkand that they should support each other to deter foreign meddling.
“The world has entered a new period of turbulent change, we must grasp the trend of the times, strengthen solidarity and cooperation, and promote the construction of a closer community of destiny with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,” Xi said.
“We should support each other’s efforts to safeguard security and development interests, prevent external forces from staging color revolutions, and jointly oppose interference in the internal affairs of other countries under any pretext.”
People are also reading…
Xi criticized “zero-sum games and bloc politics,” a veiled reference to the United States which Beijing has criticized in the past for leaning on allies to counter China’s spectacular rise to the status of a superpower in waiting.
Putin, Russia’s paramount leader since 1999, has repeatedly said that the United States is plotting so-called “color revolutions” similar to those which swept established elites from power in places such as Ukraine.
The United States denies such claims and says they show the paranoid nature of Putin’s Russia.
The conflict in eastern Ukraine began in 2014 after a pro-Russian president was toppled in Ukraine’s “Maidan” Revolution and Russia annexed Crimea, with Russian-backed forces fighting Ukraine’s armed forces.
China’s stability-obsessed Communist Party, which is next month likely to give Xi a third leadership term and cement his place as the country’s most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, has in the past warned against so called “color revolutions.”
Putin and Xi
Xi and Putin last met face-to-face at the opening of the Winter Olympics, when they declared a “no limits” partnership, backing each other over standoffs on Ukraine and Taiwan with a promise to collaborate more against the West.
At a meeting on Thursday, Putin said he understood that Xi had questions and concerns about the situation in Ukraine but praised China’s leader for what he said was a “balanced” position on the conflict.
But there was no sign from Xi that his support for Putin was weakening. Xi did not mention the war in Ukraine.
Xi did stay away from a dinner attended by 11 heads of states in line with his delegation’s COVID-19 policy, a source in the Uzbek government told Reuters on Friday.
Putin, who has yet to comment in public on a lightning rout of his forces in northeastern Ukraine, said emerging world powers would not accept the West’s attempt to impose its rules on them from outside.
“Fundamental transformations have been outlined in world politics and the economy, and they are irreversible,” Putin said.
Shanghai sports?
Putin touted the SCO, a security body including Russia, China, India, Pakistan and four former Soviet Central Asian republics, as encompassing half the world’s population and a quarter of global gross domestic product.
For Iran, which is due to be admitted, the SCO is a potential anti-U.S. club: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said the body needed to come up with ways to thwart “draconian” U.S. sanctions.
Leaders spoke on an eclectic mix of topics.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on leaders to address the supply chain crisis while Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif spoke at length about devastating floods and climate change.
As the leaders of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan listened to Putin and Xi, a deadly border dispute swiftly escalated towards war before a ceasefire was finally agreed.
Putin even suggested the group should consider staging its own major sporting competition.
His ally Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko suggested dates which would coincide with those of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics and the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.

The Tennesee Titans and Buffalo Bills headline the first game of Monday Night Football’s doubleheader in Week 2. Kick off is set for 7:15 p.m. ET from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. The Titans will look to recover from a disheartening Week 1 loss, while the Bills will look to continue their winning ways following an excellent performance in the season opener.
Here, we’ll take a look at our picks for best bets for Titans vs. Bills in Week 2 of the NFL season.
All odds come courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Titans vs. Bills odds
Spread: Bills -10 (-105)
Point total: 48
Moneyline: Titans +350, Bills -435
Our picks, best bets
Pick against the spread: Bills -10
A field goal separated these two teams as the Titans beat the Bills 34-31 last season, but each team’s Week 1 performance could be indicative of what’s to come in 2022. The Titans largely struggled in the ground game even with Derrick Henry in the backfield, while the Bills' offense hasn’t missed a beat and should have the support of a bolstered defense behind them. After Buffalo held the defending champions to 10 points last week, they should confidently cover in Monday night’s contest.
Over/under: Under 48
These two teams combined for 58 and 65 points respectively in their previous two matchups, but Buffalo’s defense this season seems to be next level. There should be confidence in the Bills putting points on the board, but if they were able to contain the defending champions in Week 1 then it should be relatively straightforward to limit the Titans in Week 2. With that in mind, we’re predicting both teams to hit the under.
Player prop: TBD

Mental Mistakes Frustrate Rodgers in Packers’ Loss at Vikings
The first-play drop by Christian Watson was a big deal but not nearly as concerning as the number of mental errors, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers said after a 23-7 loss at the Vikings.
MINNEAPOLIS – The Green Bay Packers lost their season-opening game at the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 on Sunday. Hey, at least it wasn’t 38-3, like last year’s opening dud against the New Orleans Saints.
“I feel like we had a much better performance,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said with a sarcastic tongue planted in cheek. “We scored four more points than we did that day. There’s a lot to build on when you compare the two. Look, it’s tough to win in this league, and it’s definitely tough when you get in your own way too many times.”
That would be Rodgers’ theme before heading to the airport for a return trip to Green Bay. He wasn’t going to blame Christian Watson for his opening-series drop of a 75-yard touchdown pass. And he wouldn’t use the absences of his bookend offensive tackles as an excuse, either.
Rather, Rodgers was miffed at the team’s poor execution.
“We had a lot of chances today,” Rodgers said. “I’m not taking anything away from their defense, but we hurt ourselves many times, myself included. We had a lot of opportunities to score more than seven.”
Rodgers wasn’t passing the buck. He pointed the finger at himself, too. On the fourth-and-goal failure in which AJ Dillon was stuffed at the 1, Rodgers said he should have kept the ball. He called his first-half interception a “dumb” decision .
“Obviously, it’d be great to have a 75-yard touchdown to start the game, but drops are going to happen. It’s part of the game,” Rodgers said. “It’s the mental stuff that we just can’t have because we’re hurting ourselves. Whether we’re going the wrong way on a block or missing a protection something or missing a hot or not running the right route, the right depth, there was just too many mental mistakes.”
Rodgers acknowledged, as he did throughout training camp, that there would be “growing pains” with rookie receivers Watson and Romeo Doubs getting considerable early playing time. Mental mistakes with rookies is a fact of life that Rodgers understands because every play can be a new experience.
“Look, we’ve got to have patience with those guys. They’re young. They haven’t been in the fire. The patience will be thinner as the season goes on but the expectation will be high,” Rodgers said.
Mental mistakes by the offensive line left Rodgers at a bit more of a loss for words.
Yes, premier starters David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins were inactive due to injuries, but the five players who started on the offensive line – left tackle Yosh Nijman, left guard Jon Runyan, center Josh Myers, right guard Jake Hanson and right tackle Royce Newman – are young but not exactly rookies. Four of the five started games last season; the exception, Hanson, is in his third year with the team.
“I don’t know. I’m not sure. I wish I had the answer there,” Rodgers said. “It’s different when it’s real, I guess. I know for me, it feels different and the urgency goes up. But, hey, you’d love to be sitting here with very few mental mistakes in the first game because that eliminates you guys the opportunity to write about playing in the preseason or any of that stuff. But the truth is, we’re professionals. There’s an expectation of performance. It starts with preparation. There was just too many preparation issues. That was surprising.”
Would playing in the preseason have prevented some of those mistakes? Perhaps. But the Vikings – with a first-time head coach and new coordinators – didn’t play their starters in the preseason, either.
The urgency will be up next week for the home opener against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. The Vikings, clearly, aren’t pushovers, and the Bears splished and splashed their way to an upset victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
“We’ll clean it up. It sucks. It’s a tough feeling,” Rodgers said. “But they’re a good team, for sure. They’re not going to be a three- or four-win team. That’s going to be a team that we’re going to be contending with in this division and we’ve go to turn around, head home, Sunday Night Football against a 1-0 team that’s probably riding pretty high. We’ve got to have a better performance.”

WALTON COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB)– DUI-related deaths are on the rise across the country. The National Transportation Safety Administration reports drunk driving deaths went up more than 14 percent between 2019 and 2020.
This weekend, Mothers Against Drunk Driving of Northwest Florida is teaming up with the Freeport Farmers Market to raise awareness of impaired driving locally and create a world of no more victims of the 100% preventable crime.
The Walk Like MADD 5K Run/Walk will take place at 425 Victory Blvd. in Freeport on Sept, 18th. The 5K will begin at 8 a.m. with registration starting at 6 a.m.
All proceeds directly benefit Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Founded in 1980, the non-profit’s goal is to prevent impaired driving instances and support victims of the 100% preventable crime.
It’s a statistic News 13’s Tess Rowland is all to familiar with. On May 4, 2021, Rowland was involved in a tragic car crash which police tell us was caused by an impaired driver.
“We hope to create a world with no more impaired driving victims, and we work to support the victims of these violent crimes, both bereaved and injured victims,” said Mothers Against Drunk Driving of Northwest Florida Executive Director, Kristen Allen.
You can register here for the 5K, participants get a swag bag and medal. The cost to register is $35. The last day to register is Saturday at 9 a.m.
There is a 5K run option, and for those interested in simply walking, there will be a 1.5 mile memorial walk stretch.
Following the run, participants can shop over 50 local vendors at the Freeport Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“It’s going to be a fun day. There are great local vendors. A walk/run option for the 5K, and first responder demonstrations to honor their role in combating impaired driving,” said Gary Parks, founder of the Freeport Farmers Market.
There will also be exciting raffles that directly benefit Mothers Against Drunk Driving which include a stay at Hotel Effie in Sandestin and a charter boat excursion from Ranger Angler Fishing Charters.
Local law enforcement and first responders from the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, Walton County Fire Rescue and the Florida Highway Patrol will also have demonstrations for kids which include a rollover simulator, DUI goggle obstacle course and the K-9 unit.
At 11 a.m. Mothers Against Drunk Driving will also have a Law Enforcement Ceremony honoring officers, deputies and troopers who have gone above and beyond in terms of DUI enforcement.
“They are our first line of defense in preventing this crime,” said Allen.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A complex software change to the cryptocurrency ethereum holds the potential to dramatically reduce its energy consumption — and resulting climate-related pollution. But the transition known as “the merge” is not going to do the trick by itself.
With the change enacted late Wednesday, ethereum — the world’s second most valuable cryptocurrency after bitcoin — has effectively eliminated the energy-intensive task of “mining” new coins on its blockchain. Mining requires enormous computing power, which translates to huge energy consumption and, in many areas, greater greenhouse gas emissions at older power plants.
By itself, however, the ethereum change won’t eliminate crypto’s expected environmental impact, although it’s expected to help a great deal. The backers of bitcoin have so far shown little interest in doing away with mining.
BACK UP A SECOND. WHAT IS CRYPTOCURRENCY?
Cryptocurrency is a type of digital money secured via encryption in a publicly viewable and purportedly unalterable way. Using these currencies, people can make direct financial transactions without any need for a bank or other financial intermediaries.
They run on constructs called blockchains, which consist of digitally signed transaction records that document every time a crypto coin is transferred or spent. Blockchains are also known as distributed ledgers because synchronized copies are stored on computers around the world; these copies also make it extremely difficult to alter, insert or destroy blockchain records.
IS CRYPTO BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?
Researchers who have studied cryptocurrency are alarmed by its enormous energy usage. A recent report by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy cited research findings that as of August 2022, annual electricity consumption for cryptocurrency exceeded that of individual nations such as Argentina or Australia.
This problem, however, isn’t inherent to cryptocurrency. Most of that energy is used for mining, a computationally intensive process for verifying blockchain transactions that also distributes new coins as rewards for competing miners. Crypto mining favors well-resourced groups that can put together a lot of specialized computers and supply them with electricity as cheaply as possible.
That can have unexpected external effects. Prior to the plunge in cryptocurrency values earlier this year, demand for computer graphics cards soared, pushing up prices and emptying store shelves — much to the chagrin of gamers. Such cards turned out to be ideal for crypto mining rigs. Cities and states in the U.S. have also pushed back against crypto firms’ plans to build mining sites in their jurisdictions, citing not only power usage but noise.
SO WHAT DOES THE ETHEREUM CHANGE DO?
Primarily, the software update eliminates the need for miners. Where ethereum previously set miners against each other to solve complex cryptographic puzzles and win new coin as rewards, it now requires parties who want to help validate transactions to put some skin in the game by “staking” a certain amount of ether, the ethereum coin.
Parties from this pool are randomly chosen to validate a block of transactions; a wider group of ether holders will then check their work. Successful validators get paid a reward in ether that is generally proportional to the size of their stake and the length of time they’ve held it.
WILL THAT HELP THE ENVIRONMENT?
The ethereum merge many not sound like much, but it could have dramatic effects. Alex de Vries, an economist and founder of the Digiconomist consultancy that focuses on the environmental impact of cryptocurrencies, calculates the shift will result in energy savings of between 99% and 99.99% for ethereum. (De Vries emphasizes that his work has not yet been peer reviewed.)
“It’s a really small change to the code that’s going to have a very big impact on environmental sustainability,” he said. Prior to the merge, ethereum was doing up to 900 billion calculations per second that are now not needed anymore.
According to his calculations, ethereum was responsible for about 44 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. If he’s correct, these will now be drastically reduced.
On the other hand, bitcoin’s energy usage and greenhouse gas emission is significantly larger than ethereum’s — and there doesn’t seem to be much enthusiasm for moving away from bitcoin mining.
Ethereum’s merge was long planned and involved years of preparation by its developer teams, said Lena Klaassen, co-founder of the Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute, a German company that specializes in measuring crypto environmental impacts. “Such ambitions never existed for Bitcoin and thus I don’t expect that Bitcoin will transition” away from mining any time soon, she said.

BLUE BELL, Pa. (AP) — In a community college gymnasium in an affluent Philadelphia suburb, John Fetterman strode on to a makeshift stage to cheers and stood at a podium beneath a massive “Women for Fetterman” banner.
As the crowd of mostly women looked on, Fetterman unfurled a pink T-shirt emblazoned with his Democratic Senate campaign’s familiar industrial-style lettering.
“My name is John —” he shouted, craning his neck to read the front of the shirt — “Fetterwoman!” The crowd roared in appreciation.
With the fall campaign election season kicking into high gear, Fetterman and his Republican rival, Dr. Mehmet Oz, are making a beeline for Philadelphia’s heavily populated suburbs. The candidates in one of the nation’s premier Senate races are holding rallies, bringing in surrogates and launching hard-edged TV ads aimed at wooing influential swing voters, particularly women.
For decades, Philadelphia’s suburbs have been an important indicator of success for statewide candidates in the presidential battleground state, with the large number of swing voters there.
In the 2020 presidential election, the onetime Republican stronghold was decisive in President Joe Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania, with moderate GOP voters joining with Democrats to produce an insurmountable deficit for Donald Trump.
For Oz, a celebrity heart surgeon and the former host of the daytime TV show “The Dr. Oz Show,” turning around Trump’s suburban slump and gaining ground with moderates is critical: Polls show he is not just trailing Fetterman, but also other down-ballot Republican candidates, campaign strategists say.
Fetterman has made abortion rights a prominent theme in the suburbs to invigorate female voters after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. Oz, meanwhile, avoids mention of Trump or abortion in the suburbs but paints Fetterman as soft on crime and unfit to serve because of a stroke he suffered in May.
A few days after rallying with Trump in northeastern Pennsylvania, Oz appeared with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, at a “Dose of Reality” town hall in Delaware County.
Besides airing a laundry list of grievances with national Democrats and Biden, Haley, Oz and other speakers at the Springfield banquet hall warned the crowd that Fetterman wanted to make their communities less safe.
“He’s out trying to release people who’ve been convicted by a jury and sentenced by a judge for murder,” Oz said.
Fetterman, as lieutenant governor and chair of the state Board of Pardons, has pushed for more commutations of life sentences for people convicted decades ago of murder or as accessories to murder.
They lampooned Fetterman’s typical choice of dress — shorts and a hoodie — and suggested that Fetterman is avoiding reporters and debates because he is lying about the severity of the stroke’s effects.
“If he can’t live up to 110% of the job, he should have the courage to step out and say, ‘I can’t do it,’” Haley said. “But let me tell you someone who can do it,” she said, calling Oz a “pro-family, pro-child, pro-parent, pro-education, pro-business freedom fighter.”
Fetterman’s campaign maintains that he is expected to make a full recovery — he still speaks haltingly and struggles to quickly respond to words he hears — and that Oz is desperately trying to find anything to help him make up ground in polls.
Meanwhile, as Oz tries to shift the focus of the campaign away from abortion rights, the issue shows no sign of waning from voter’s minds. On Tuesday, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina proposed a federal 15-week abortion ban bill, which Democrats seized on as an example of the extreme policies that Republicans will pursue if they win control of Congress in November.
In a statement issued after Graham’s proposal, Oz — who has said he opposes abortion from conception, but with exceptions to protect the life of the mother and in cases of rape and incest —sidestepped a direct answer on what he thought of the bill.
“As a senator, he’d want to make sure that the federal government is not involved in interfering with the state’s decisions on the topic,” Oz’s campaign said in the statement.
Noting Oz avoided saying whether he would support Graham’s bill, Fetterman suggested that Oz’s position of leaving the issue up to the states would result in far stricter bans in some places.
Fetterman’s campaign says the abortion issue will be decisive in November — helping counter inflation and national political headwinds for Democrats — and featured it at Sunday’s “Women for Fetterman” event in the gymnasium of Montgomery County Community College.
“Women are the reason we can win,” Fetterman told the cheering crowd. “Let me say that again. Women are the reason we win. … Don’t piss women off!”
In interviews in suburban Philadelphia, voters who support abortion rights said they would vote for Fetterman.
For Sheila Dougherty, 50, a registered Democrat from Clifton Heights, Oz’s position on abortion is a nonstarter.
“I’ll always vote for the candidate who is for women’s rights, so I won’t be voting for a Republican,” Dougherty said.
Donna McMenamin, 66, a Republican from Folsom who supports abortion rights, said she was worried by one attack ad she saw on TV that claims Fetterman wants to release state prison inmates who are hardened criminals — which Fetterman’s campaign has called a lie. He has endorsed recommendations by prison reformers that the state can release more geriatric or rehabilitated prisoners without harming public safety.
Still, she said the most important factor in her vote was rejecting any candidate aligned with Trump, whom she detests. Instead, she will vote for Fetterman this year “because he’s not a Republican.”
For Oz supporters in the suburbs, his stance on crime and abortion — and whether they agree with it — is less important than other issues.
Steve Erfle, 51, a Republican from Blue Bell, said he will vote for Oz and other Republicans on the ballot — regardless of any other disagreements he has with them — because he wants smaller government and worries that “things have gone a little far left.”
“They’re not my best friends, I just want their policies,” he said.
Diane Wysocki, 50, leaving Oz’s event in Springfield with an Oz lawn sign under her arm, said she agrees with Oz’s stance on abortion. But more than that, she appreciated Trump’s endorsement of Oz and sees Oz as savvy and genuine.
Still, she worried about whether her fellow suburbanites will embrace Oz, noting that many of her neighbors are Democrats and that even some Republicans she knows think that Oz — a recent New Jersey transplant — is just running because he’s wealthy.
“If I put this out on my lawn,” Wysocki said, motioning to her Oz sign, “this is very scary to people.”

Updated September 16, 2022 at 9:10 AM ET
LONDON — A country's collective grief at the death of Queen Elizabeth II has taken a peculiarly British form over the course of the past couple of days. In a nation known for its orderly lines, or queues, thousands of people have waited for hours at a time to pay their respects to the late monarch in a coffin, lying in state at the heart of the country's parliamentary democracy. The queue now stretches about 5 miles.
Citizens from across the U.K. have traveled to London ahead of Elizabeth's state funeral on Monday to pay their respects in person to Britain's longest-serving monarch. For the vast majority of her former subjects, she is the only ruler they have known in their lifetimes, after her seven decades on the throne came to a close last week.
The public outpouring has been so great that by Friday morning the queues had been paused for 6 hours after Southwark Park — the start of the queue — reached capacity.
Her body rests inside Westminster Hall, a cavernous space with a soaring arched roof that has served for more than nine centuries — sometimes simultaneously, sometimes separately — as the center of Britain's royal, legal, administrative and now parliamentary system.
Members of the public, with no more than one bag permitted on their person, are scanned by airport security workers. They then descend the ancient stone steps of the hall, roughly half the length of a football field, that was built just a generation after the Norman Conquest of Britain by an ancestor of Elizabeth.
As they file past her oak coffin, draped in the mostly yellow royal standard flag and flanked by four tall candles, they are permitted to pause for several seconds in a moment of reflection, before continuing.
Uniformed policemen and velvet rope lines help guide the crowds through the space, some of the mourners visibly moved. An NPR reporter saw one woman with her arms wrapped around a friend, who was weeping and shaking after passing the coffin, raised up on the carpeted platform. A middle-aged man held the hand of his partner, a knapsack slung over one shoulder and a tissue in his hand dabbing at his eye.
Officers from a British Army regiment known as the household cavalry division — named for the royal household — and veterans belonging to a yeoman of the guard group that dates back more than 500 years, stand watch around the coffin, spears and swords pointed downwards and rested on the ground, their heads bowed. The various plumed helmets, bearskin hats and crimson, blue and black uniforms familiar from Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London add an air of medieval pomp and pageantry.
Alongside sections of the slow-moving River Thames, this torrent of humanity now runs past a veritable tour route of London's historic landmarks.
At times this week, the line of those wishing to pay their respects started as far away as the Globe Theater, where the works of England's greatest-ever poet, William Shakespeare, were first performed in the late 16th Century.
It passed Lambeth Palace, built at a time when kings of England still held the same title in France, and the longtime London home of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church of England's most senior cleric. The line has snaked across Westminster Bridge and past Big Ben and the gothic splendor of the 19th Century Palace of Westminster, before arriving at the entrance to the more ancient Westminster Hall.

KIM Kardashian's fans are cringing after she appeared to be snubbed by Anna Wintour at the Fendi fashion show in New York on Sunday.
The reality star was standing next to actress Sarah Jessica Parker in the front row when they both spotted Anna walking towards them.
Both Kim, 41, and Sarah, 57, smiled excitedly and waved at the legendary Vogue editor, 72.
However, it appeared to be clear who Anna favors as she seemed to ignore Kim and went straight over to Sarah.
The pair hugged as Kim stood by awkwardly, smiling and looking down.
A short clip of the interaction has done the rounds on social media, where viewers said they felt "embarrassed" for Kim.
One wrote, "That was painfully satisfying," while another posted: "I have second-hand embarrassment for Kim."
A third claimed: "Anna Wintour has more respect for SJP's sense of fashion."
Kim and Anna have become friends since she graced the cover of Vogue with her ex Kanye West in 2014 to mark their wedding.
Anna later said of the cover: “Kim and Kanye were part of the conversation of the day, and for Vogue not to recognize that would have been a big misstep.
Most read in Showbiz
"But at the same time, I knew that it would be deeply, deeply controversial and that many of our readers and our audiences would be horrified.”
Kim and Anna have been spotted together at numerous events over the years and in June, The Kardashians star even convinced the self-confessed selfie hater to pose for a selfie.
Despite the pair’s positive relationship, that didn’t stop the Vogue boss from calling out Kim during the 2019 Met Gala.
ANNA'S DEMAND
In former New York Magazine editor Amy Odell’s forthcoming book, Anna: The Biography, she detailed the interaction.
According to Time’s excerpt from the upcoming title, Anna repeatedly told Kim to sit down at the esteemed event.
For the occasion, the 41-year-old wore a custom latex Thierry Mugler dress that sat tight against her figure.
The design accentuated her hourglass curves with its body-hugging fit and the intense corset she wore underneath.
At the camp-themed event, Anna reportedly kept asking her friend and former Vogue West Coast director Lisa Love to get Kim to “sit down.”
Lisa had to explain to the 72-year-old that the reality star was actually unable to sit because of the tight dress she was wearing.
WEIGHT LOSS
Meanwhile, Kim has faced backlash since she admitted to dropping 16lbs in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress for the Met Gala in May.
The SKIMS founder told Vogue at the Met Gala: "I tried [the dress] on and it didn't fit me. I said, 'Give me three weeks.'
"I had to lose 16 pounds down today. It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven't had carbs or sugar in about three weeks."
And in June, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum admitted she has lost even more weight after sticking to the ultra-strict diet.
She said on The TODAY show: "It actually taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health, and since then, afterward, I continued to eat really healthy.
"I mean, I'm down 21 pounds now. I'm not trying to lose any more weight, but I have more energy than ever."

Crofts is returning to Northampton in November and will play at the Clare Street venue on Saturday, November 26, and now also Sunday, November 27. Tickets for the second show are on sale now.
Phil Moore from SBD Promotions said: “Andy is these days an icon and dare I say ambassador of modern Northampton. Proud of his roots while touring the world playing music.
“The latest Moons album is the best one. His songwriting honed to deliver a personal story that we can relate to. The Playhouse gives his songs the intimacy to be fully appreciated.

“We’re very pleased the first date sold out in a week and a second show allows for a few setlist alterations for the fans who come twice as well as being an opportunity to those that missed first time around to savour a rare appearance back in his hometown.”
The Moons released their latest album Pocket Melodies in 2020.
Outside of The Moons, Crofts is frequently seen playing bass for Paul Weller and in recent years has also established himself as an artist.
He is set to play London’s iconic 100 Club on Saturday, October 15, with The Lunar String Quartet.
Support on Saturday, November 26, is by fellow Moons man Chris Watson whose latest single Something On My Mind is out now.
Support for the second night is by Jess Orestano.
Tickets cost £10 in advance before fees and are available via https://www.skiddle.com/e/36178186.

BTS singer V and BLACKPINK member Jennie have been rumoured to be dating. While their agencies, HYBE and YG Entertainment, are yet to react to the claims, another set of alleged pictures of people looking like Kim Taehyung and Jennie have surfaced online and fuelled the speculations of their relationship.
In the pictures that have now gone viral, the people who look like V and Jennie seemed to be on a vacation and posing for pictures as well. In one picture, the person resembling Taehyung was seen planting a kiss on the woman looking like the BLACKPINK member. In another picture, the alleged couple posed in front of a Buddha statue with their hands folded.

As quoted by the South Korean publication Newsen in their report, the agencies said they are maintaining their stand that “it is difficult to confirm because it is the artist’s private life.”

DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A spokesperson for Greg Lindberg provided the following update regarding the exit of his North Carolina insurance companies from rehabilitation:
- Lindberg states that there is a "ready and willing" buyer for his NC insurance companies who has offered to pay "several hundred million dollars" for these companies so that they can be sold and exit rehabilitation immediately. At the time of sale, policyholders will be able to access all their benefits, Lindberg says. "The North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI) has yet to respond to a Letter of Intent from a highly qualified buyer for my North Carolina insurance companies," Lindberg says. "My insurance companies successfully exiting rehabilitation utilizing our recommendations will prove that the allegations about liquidity and questions about our financial strength have been false since day one," Lindberg says.
- Lindberg also reports that he has authorized the "immediate sale" of several of Global Growth's portfolio companies that will generate well over $1 billion of proceeds that can be used to purchase affiliated assets from the North Carolina insurers as part of the rehab exit plan. "We are not waiting for the NCDOI," Lindberg says. "We are proceeding now with sale transactions that will result in the immediate rehab exit of my North Carolina insurers." Lindberg notes that the proposed 7-year rehab plan by the NCDOI is being litigated in court. "7 years is unacceptable," Lindberg says. "The way I see it, everyone wants these companies out of rehab now so policyholders can access their benefits immediately," Lindberg says.
- Lindberg also says that third party lenders are "ready and willing" to provide financing that will result in the immediate paydown of over $150 million in affiliated loans to the North Carolina insurers. "Blocking these loans directly impacts policyholders and keeps the North Carolina insurers from exiting rehabilitation," Lindberg says.
- Lindberg says that his North Carolina insurers would have reduced their percentage of affiliated assets below the new 10% North Carolina statutory limit way back in December of 2018 had the governing parties been actually interested in protecting policyholders. "In August of 2018 Global Growth was very close to closing an $600 million financing that would have paid down affiliated assets below 10% of total assets," Lindberg says. "In fact, the lender that was providing this $600 million loan expressed to the NCDOI that the financing was looking "strong" and there were already "orders in the book." Unfortunately, this financing, along with several other financing attempts, were withdrawn or halted as a result of the investigation.
- Lindberg says that at the end of 2018, his team was in discussions with another large lender to provide up to $1 billion in financing as part of this lender's purchase of his North Carolina insurers. "In December of 2018 however, I was informed that someone from 'the government' called this lender and told them not to underwrite any loans to us," Lindberg says. "This type of behavior only serves to undermine Global Growth and none of this helps policyholders," Lindberg says.
- Despite these challenges, Lindberg says that the Global Growth companies have worked diligently to re-establish credit market access. Global Growth companies have closed over $1.2 billion of third-party financing so far this year, Lindberg reports. "Through it all, Global Growth has proven its resiliency, businesses are performing very well, and lenders are making loans to Global Growth companies," Lindberg says.
Lindberg notes that Mike Causey ran for the position of North Carolina Insurance Commissioner five times before winning by less than 1% of the vote. Lindberg says that he had supported Causey's opponent. "From my perspective, the root of this problem is politics. All my insurance companies were seeking was fair and equitable regulation," Lindberg says.
After the government accused Lindberg of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud and bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit unanimously agreed that his conviction violated his Constitutional rights and must be vacated.
Lindberg says he will "continue to fight until every policyholder is paid out."

Nicotine gummies are a ‘public health crisis just waiting to happen,’ FDA says
By Jen Christensen, CNN
First, there were flavored cigarettes that tasted like chocolate or grape. Then came the e-cigarettes in flavors like cotton candy or gummy bear. Now, there are flavored gummies made with nicotine, and the US Food and Drug Administration isn’t happy about it.
The agency has been warning parents to keep an eye out for products that may look like typical candy but are actually nicotine-based. It says they could be very dangerous for children.
“Nicotine gummies are a public health crisis just waiting to happen among our nation’s youth, particularly as we head into a new school year,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf warned last month.
The FDA last month sent a warning letter to VPR Brands, one of the companies that makes nicotine gummies, advising that the products were being sold illegally. By law, manufacturers need to submit an application and have it approved by the FDA before a tobacco product can be legally marketed in the United States. The agency says VPR had not asked for this “premarket authorization” for the gummies.
Each of the gummies had 1 milligram of nicotine, and they came 12 to a package. The FDA says 1 to 4 milligrams of nicotine could be severely toxic to children under 6 as well as to older children, depending on their weight.
The website for VPR’s Krave brand says the tobacco-free products were meant to “empower adult smokers with the tools to use nicotine on their own terms.” But the gummies’ bright colors and fruit flavors like “blueraz,” “cherry bomb” and pineapple could also appeal to kids.
VPR Brands did not respond to CNN’s request for comment, and the website now says the gummies have been discontinued.
But oher companies’ nicotine products that look like candy are still available, as well as lozenges, pouches and gum.
There’s no clear data that documents how pervasive the gummies or any other candy-like nicotine product have become. But if a recent study of nicotine use in Southern California is any indication, they are popular.
In that survey, ninth- and 10th-graders who reported using nicotine were more likely to use flavored non-tobacco oral nicotine products — gummies, tablets, lozenges and gums — than many more traditional products like cigarettes. They were second only to the ever-popular e-cigarettes. About 10% of kids surveyed used e-cigarettes, and more than 3% chose the oral nicotine products.
‘Truly, truly troubling’
Nicotine gum and lozenges have been on the market for years. Gummy products were a relative newcomer, said Erika Sward, assistant vice president for national advocacy for the American Lung Association. That has her concerned.
The gummies were on the market for about six to nine months before the FDA sent its warning letter, she said, and that’s a sign that there will probably be many more kid-friendly nicotine products to come.
“The FDA oversight of these products is not going as fast as it needs to be,” Sward said. She was encouraged by the warning letter but says it’s not enough. “I think until the FDA shows that they’re serious about cracking down on these companies that are coming out with these products, it’s going to continue to be a problem.”
She added that it is especially worrisome that companies know they can’t introduce a product without the FDA’s premarket signoff, but do it anyway.
“This is truly, truly troubling from the perspective of parents or anyone in general thinking that if a product is on the market, that somebody’s taking a look at it, and we know that’s just not the case,” Sward said.
The FDA has been allowed to regulate synthetic nicotine only since earlier this year, after Congress gave the agency authority over non-tobacco nicotine products.
The agency said in a statement to CNN that it’s “deeply committed to addressing the ongoing public health concerns around all youth tobacco use” and “will continue to take appropriate enforcement actions that are supported by evidence.”
“Manufacturers of any illegal products, including nicotine gummies, should be on alert that FDA is actively working to identify violations and will swiftly seek corrective actions. Importantly, no nicotine gummy products have been authorized by the FDA, and therefore, any products currently being sold are doing so illegally,” the agency said this week.
FDA enforcement
For years, the FDA has been cracking down on companies that have tried to sell certain kinds of nicotine products that echo kid-friendly foods. In 2020, it restricted flavors in vaping devices, which came in options like Charms cereal, cherry lime cola and Heavy Custard Unicorn Cake.
In 2019, the FDA chastised e-cigarette giant Juul for the way it marketed its products, including a school presentation in which the company said that the product was “totally safe” and that the “FDA would approve it any day.” In June, it ordered the company to stop selling its products. But a court blocked the ban, so the products are still for sale.
After a two-year investigation found that Juul deliberately marketed its product to children, several state attorneys general announced this week that the company will pay a settlement of $438.5 million to 34 states and territories.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still considers kids’ e-cigarette use a serious public health concern.
During the pandemic, vaping rates among teens declined for the first time in years. But CDC Foundation data showed that e-cigarette sales went up just as kids started going back to school, according to Matt Meyers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids.
In 2021, about 2.55 million students reported using some form of tobacco product, according to CDC surveys.
Disposable flavored vapes, which use synthetic nicotine, are especially popular with kids. These products come in flavors like sugar cookie, mango, pound cake and fizzy lemonade.
The companies that make products with synthetic nicotine have argued that they didn’t need to follow the rules that apply to other nicotine products because theirs didn’t contain tobacco. A 2009 law finally allowed the FDA to regulate nicotine products, but it specified nicotine that came from tobacco.
In April, a new law clarified that the FDA could regulate products that use synthetic nicotine. But many of the products are still for sale as the agency reviews the manufacturers’ applications to remain on the market. The FDA blew its court-ordered deadline to make a decision about the products.
Manufacturers had until May to submit marketing applications to FDA, and if the products didn’t get authorization by July, the products were supposed to be considered illegal and removed from the market.
“The law gives the FDA the tools to move quickly,” Myers said, but it doesn’t often use them.
Anti-tobacco experts say that although it’s good that the FDA has taken some action on nicotine gummy products, the agency should be doing a lot more.
“What nicotine gummies proves — or just remind us of — is the absence of the FDA drawing a hard line in the sand. Our kids are more at risk of being exposed to addictive nicotine products than they have in a very long time,” Myers said. “The FDA’s enforcement has been so sporadic, and when companies believe that there is profits to be made, we will continue to see the introduction of new nicotine-laced products that appeal to kids.”

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Mariana Llanos dreams in two languages. She speaks a combination of Spanish and English and writes brilliantly in both.
Born and raised in Lima, Peru as the youngest daughter of journalists, Mariana was raised on books and news.
“What I remember the most is growing up a little bit afraid of things because, you know, the world was scary,” Llanos said. “The only thing I could control at that moment, I realized, was my words and my writing. I have written since I was very young.”
Mariana moved to Oklahoma 21 years ago.
She started a family here and built a life in Oklahoma City.
“I consider myself an Oklahoma, a Peruvian, a Limena. So I think you can be more than one thing, and I try to embrace them all.”
When her own children were young, Mariana took up writing again.
This time, in English.
“There are so many kids who grew up in a bilingual household, and they need books that are written also in the language of their parents. I think being bilingual is very cool.”
Mariana’s books are all published in both English and Spanish.
In fact, most of her stories contain a mix of both languages.
Her latest work Run, Little Chaski is a story about an Inka messenger boy.
The tale incorporates many words and phrases in Quechua, which is the ancient tongue of the Inkas.
“I used words in Quechua because I wanted it to feel authentic with the setting of the story.”
A Peruvian-born author, this immigrant has been honored in Oklahoma for her story about a big-hearted boy in the Andes mountains.
Her award-winning career is a celebration of culture on two continents.
“Spanish is such an important language in the United States,” Llanos said. “It just makes me proud to be able to write in both languages.”
Mariana Llanos and her protagonist, Little Chaski, share this mission; the delightful delivery of an important message: on every journey, be true to your heart.
In 2017, Mariana Llamos was selected as the best Latino artist by the Hispanic Arts Council of Oklahoma.
Earlier this year, her book Run, Little Chaski was honored as the 2022 Oklahoma Children’s Book of the Year.

Rapper Bad Bunny and entourage visit San Rafael Puerto Rican restaurant
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - The phone call to Sol Food, the Puerto Rican restaurant in downtown San Rafael, came late Monday afternoon.
"They're like, ‘Oh we have 80 hungry Puerto Ricans. Are you guys able to accommodate us?’ " said Elmer Montes, a shift manager at Sol Food.
Restaurant staff quickly set up the dining room.
A half-hour later, "they show up in black SUVs, they're parking and everything," Montes said. "Once they get in there they see Bad Bunny walk in, it goes crazy, security gets in there, they don't let anybody in."
Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper and singer, along with his entourage of 80 staffers, crew and back up dancers, were in the house.
"Bad Bunny's walking around like he owns the place," Montes said with a laugh.
The singer ordered mofongo, mashed plantains with olive oil and sautéed shrimp.
"Bad Bunny was actually serving some plates for them, he was helping the kitchen out. He was in the kitchen talking to the staff," Montes said.
The restaurant posted a photo on social media showing Bad Bunny with a couple of dishwashers.
That Bad Bunny chose Sol Food for his Puerto Rican fix certainly made for some good, well, PR.
Bad Bunny performed at the Coliseum in Oakland on Wednesday night.
"He makes really good music. Yeah, we love him," Montes said.
The feeling seems mutual.
"Bad Bunny's one of the most famous Puerto Ricans around, so that he's here and he comes to Marin and he comes to our Puerto Rican place, that just shows that we're well known," Montes said.
Customers agreed.
"I think it's really exciting to support you know local Puerto Rican cuisine, and it's really authentic, and think it's so cool that Bad Bunny and someone from Puerto Rico thought it was good enough to come here," said Christie Chenette, a San Rafael native.
Tim Dale of Corte Madera said, "Well, it's a very good restaurant and it's ethnically correct, so I could imagine how (Bad Bunny) would want to come here and bring his entourage." Dale added with a laugh, "I hope he treated."
The manager, Francisco Gomez said he bought tickets months ago to Bad Bunny's Oakland concert, never realizing that the singer would end up at his restaurant.

What the Hell Is Going on at Kanye West’s Mysterious New Private School?
Kanye West’s latest ambitious venture may be his most surprising – and most mysterious.
Over the past decade, West has cemented himself not only as a musical force but a cultural and creative visionary, with the launch of his Yeezy line, major collaborations with Adidas and Gap, and tech projects like the Stem Player.

Now, he’s moving into education with Donda Academy, his own private school named after his late mother, Professor Donda West. Headquartered in Simi Valley, California, the tuition-based Christian prep school’s mission, according to its website, is to “prepare students to become the next generation of leaders” through “an ethic of integrity and care.” (West previously teased the idea of a school back in October 2020 under the name Yeezy Christian Academy.)
West returned to Instagram earlier this month to share photos of students decked out in school uniforms consisting entirely of his Yeezy and Gap designs. He also complained about his four children not attending the school, seemingly suggesting to his estranged wife Kim Kardashian that the kids should split their time between Donda and their current school.
But despite its celebrity founder, curiosity around the school, flashy visits from celebrities, and West’s plans to open up campuses across the country alongside a Donda University, the school has shared little information about its academics beyond what’s on its sparse website — an anomaly when compared to the area’s top private schools that detail their staff, classes and other programs. The academy’s website merely notes that students’ daily schedule includes “full school worship; core classes of language arts, math and science; lunch and recess; enrichment courses including World Language, Visual Art, Film, Choir and Parkour.”
Two sources tell Rolling Stone that families are required to sign nondisclosure agreements; a consultant to the school claims only parents sign, and described it as an “informal agreement.”
What’s more, the school is not yet accredited and was still looking to hire instructors shortly before the school year began. Exactly who attends and works at the school has been tricky to pin down. Donda’s listed administrators and sporting program’s leadership did not respond to Rolling Stone’s multiple inquiries about the school. A representative for West also did not respond to requests for comment. Many of those associated with the school balked at interview requests, as did parents whose children attend the school. Even attempts by Simi Valley’s local newspaper noted in a June article that it could not reach anyone.

The ostensible head of the school listed on its website is principal and executive director Brianne Campbell, who also leads the school’s choir program. But Rolling Stone has learned that Campbell has never held a formal position as an educator. According to her resume, Campbell’s closest brush with a teaching position appears to be running her own piano, guitar and singing tutoring business headquartered from her apartment. The 28-year-old only enrolled in a master’s degree program in education at Pepperdine University in January and should complete the course by next August. (Campbell did not reply to an interview request.)
Malik Yusef, a producer and longtime collaborator of West’s who says he helped shape the school’s concept, tells Rolling Stone that West is serious about Donda Academy, and the school is by no means being done on a whim. It’s part of West’s longtime vision, with Yusef saying the rapper’s five-year plan is to have several campuses across the country.
“I want to be emphatic that there’s never been a time that Kanye West did not want to do this,” he says. “I think people don’t understand the gravity of that. This man always wanted to create a school in his mama’s name … Look at what we’re doing with the choir and the fashion in school — I don’t think there’s a venture capitalist or anybody that’s had a vision this clear on what education can look like for you.”
With plans of nationwide schools and a college, Donda Academy will serve as the trial run if West and his team can pull off forming a successful celebrity-backed academic institution. Otherwise, they risk jeopardizing the education of the children entrusted in their care.
For the 2021-2022 school year, Donda Academy launched its all-star Donda Doves basketball team alongside 21 students from kindergarten through eighth grade, according to the California Department of Education. In late August, the institution opened its doors to roughly 100 students, with proud parents posting images of their children heading off to class in their all-black uniforms.
Yusef described some of the students being children of West’s collaborators, creatives and other celebrities, as Keyshia Cole posted a picture of her son in a Donda uniform and a popular family from YouTube also posted a picture of their child on the first day of school in an all-black uniform.
Elsewhere images circulated of the children gathered in an empty warehouse, eating a nutritious meal at fold-out tables, and meeting Celtics player Jaylen Brown, who said three kids had given him their autographs. “[They] said they will be famous,” he wrote on Instagram after his visit. “I believe them.”
“I want to be emphatic that there’s never been a time that Kanye West did not want to do this. I think people don’t understand the gravity of that. This man always wanted to create a school in his mama’s name.”
Malik Yusef
On the surface, the opportunity to attend Donda Academy seems invaluable. In addition to smaller class sizes and apparent ample financial resources, athletes can receive pointers from NBA players like Brown and Utah Jazz star Jordan Clarkson. Aspiring musicians have a direct line to West and his industry connections and can join the school’s choir that will participate in West’s Sunday Service. Children interested in fashion and other creative fields have the opportunity to learn at a school founded by a man with a boundless imagination.
But the lack of transparency about the inner workings of the school raises questions about what’s actually happening behind the scenes.
The air of secrecy is no accident, according to Yusef. “The process of Donda school is for the parishioners, for the attendees,” he says. “I don’t think Kanye needs to tell the world what he’s doing, so that he can be under more scrutiny.”
“People choose to bring their kids to Donda Academy for a sense of privacy,” he adds. “A sense of care, a sense of concern, a sense of love, an environment of health, and an environment of wealth, an environment of learning, and putting God as a focus.”
As noted, two sources close to current Donda students claim those associated with the school were asked to sign confidentiality agreements, while a third source said they were not permitted to discuss the school. (West is no stranger to doling out NDAs, reportedly making guests at his Sunday Services sign them and his Yeezy brand is suing a former intern for allegedly breaching their NDA by posting confidential pictures on Instagram.)
Tamar Andrews, a consultant for Donda with two decades of experience in early childhood education programs, confirmed to Rolling Stone that parents were asked to sign an “informal agreement” when questioned if families had to sign confidentiality agreements to enroll.
Andrews says that information about the school will be released in due time, but that doing so isn’t currently a high priority for the team. “Honestly, we don’t care if people know about the school,” she says. “The people that want to come to the school are looking for a good Christian school in that area and they know that we’re there … there is also a certain notoriety that comes with being affiliated with Donda. So, I don’t know that we have to advertise, which is a blessing and a curse.”
Andrews did share that the current enrollment was just under 100 students and 16 full-time teachers with applications pouring in for the $15,000-per-year school. Around half the children have been awarded financial assistance or scholarships, largely backed by West’s personal network, she says.
The school is not yet accredited, Andrews confirmed, but has recently applied for accreditation with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the leading accreditation agency for all academic institutions in California. (The organization’s first visit to the school is scheduled for December, Rolling Stone confirmed with a WASC staff member. Andrews says the visit is in spring 2023. )
Accreditation is key in ensuring graduating high schoolers’ credits and diplomas will be accepted by colleges, as some institutions may not recognize students’ credits or diplomas from unaccredited schools. Among the criteria to be accredited, WASC requires the school to have a chief administration officer who is qualified for the position, as well as qualified instructional staff.
It’s unclear exactly who else runs the school besides Campbell and two other administrators. Shayla Scott is named as its director of athletics after holding a similar position at The Ellis School, an all-girls prep school in Pittsburgh. The school’s assistant principal is Allison Tidwell, who previously worked as an elementary school teacher at Chicago Public Schools. (Andrews noted Campbell and Tidwell’s “raw talent” and Andrews said she was brought on to help guide Campbell “the same way I guide[d] dozens of other schools through their infancy.” )
Two weeks before the school year began, Donda was still looking to hire staff members, as Andrews was searching on Facebook groups and LinkedIn for a lead transitional kindergarten teacher and an assistant, paying $55,000 to $75,000, and $27-$30 per hour respectively.
One person who worked with the school’s culinary team said they were involved in developing “elevated high-concept coffee, tea and fruit focused beverages for kids, parents and faculty.” “Think like distilled chicory coffee shaved ice with milk syrup,” they say. “We led a food science class for the students as well where the kids can learn [the] fundamentals of cooking.”
There seemed to be some staff departures ahead of the current school year, most notably top Chicago educator and former principal Beulah McLoyd, who once met with former President Barack Obama regarding her work. McLoyd had been the school’s executive director, according to a private school affidavit filed to the California’s Department of Education.
However, when reached by Rolling Stone last week, McLoyd confirmed that she was no longer affiliated with the school and declined to comment further. “She moved on,” Andrews said of McLoyd’s departure. “Sometimes there’s people that are not the perfect fit for every role.” Another teacher who was employed by the school similarly declined to comment on their reason for departing.
“The people that want to come to the school are looking for a good Christian school in that area and they know that we’re there … there is also a certain notoriety that comes with being affiliated with Donda.
Tamar Andrews
While West’s name is a calling card for the school, Andrews and Yusef spoke of its unique programs for students, such as fashion courses, Japanese, restorative justice instruction, and STEM classes.
Not only is West the driving force behind Donda Academy and involved with the basketball team, Yusef says the school was conceptualized around aspects of West’s own upbringing and what he had learned from his late mother. “With Donda Academy, the curriculum has been built his whole life,” he explains. “Education is kind of a group effort. It takes a village to raise the child, these conceptualizations. At length, we spoke about how we want to have people educated and how the education system fails the majority of people, not just some people.”
And while some on social media mocked the school’s offering of parkour or freerunning, Yusef says it’s an embodiment of what Donda stands for. “Kanye’s whole ideology is about freedom, and freerunning is a great way for kids to exercise and exert themselves and use their energy without feeling competitive,” he says. “We don’t necessarily want to force kids to be as competitive; we want them to experience their own self-efficacy and then gauge from there who they are.”
Currently, one of the major draws of the school is its choir program, which appears to play some role in West’s invite-only Sunday Services. The school held auditions for the choir over the spring and applicants knew the results of their audition by June, as two sources familiar with the auditioning process told Rolling Stone that Donda ended up accepting up to seven children from a local youth enrichment program.
Both sources described the opportunity to Rolling Stone as life-changing for the students, not only for the exposure to real world experiences with a working choir founded by West, but for helping to provide them with a private education — which a majority of the students otherwise could not afford.
Donda’s other calling card is its Adidas-backed Donda Doves basketball team that has successfully recruited some of the nation’s top high school players, including ESPN’s No. 8 pick Robert Dillingham and No. 25 selection AJ Johnson. (The team got front page coverage from Slam Magazine in January. Decked out in light gray Balenciaga-produced uniforms, the teenagers posed around West, who stood solemnly in the center.)
Due to the players hailing from across the country (several from North Carolina), the program put them up in a luxury apartment building with chaperones. The piece skimmed over the teens’ education, only noting the program was “powered” by K12 Private Academy, an online curriculum that had been approved by the NCAA. (Andrews said the school was no longer using the online curriculum.)
It’s believed that West hopes to transform his fledgling team into a fitting opponent of nearby top team Sierra Canyon, where LeBron James’ 17-year-old son Bronny plays. West’s children also attend the school.
“[My hope for graduates is] to have a sense of purpose on the planet Earth and have the tools to execute that purpose and the wherewithal to amass the team necessary to execute their purpose.”
Malik Yusef
West is far from the lone celebrity to open their own private school. Some others haven’t fared very well, such as Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s New Village Leadership Academy that opened in 2008 and closed five years later. And Deion Sanders’ Dallas-based Prime Prep Academy serves as a cautionary tale for celeb-backed schools that hinge on their athletic program. After recruiting top high school football and basketball players, the school faced scandals and financial issues and shuttered in 2015. Some students who were expecting to play at the college level were suddenly told they weren’t eligible to play over the school’s serious academic issues.
“It’s kind of a ‘buyer beware’ market dynamic,” Professor Bruce Fuller of the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Education tells Rolling Stone of enrolling students in private and charter schools. That makes it imperative for parents to do their research and ask several questions of the administration.
In addition to asking if the school plans on giving its students bench level exams to test how their students perform against statewide and grade level norms, University of Southern California’s Dean of Education Pedro A. Noguera says there should be questions about its curriculum and plans for students after graduating.
“l would want to know how they go about selecting teachers … and what are the programs,” Noguera explains. Down the line, as Donda Academy students graduate, where they end up at college should be examined. “That tells you something [about] the competitiveness and quality of the school,” he says.
But Yusef and Andrews are confident that Donda Academy will be a success and help create the next generation of leaders, creators, and well-rounded students. “[My hope for graduates is] to have a sense of purpose on the planet Earth and have the tools to execute that purpose and the wherewithal to amass the team necessary to execute their purpose,” Yusef says. “To leave a beauty mark on the face of the Earth.”

A $5 million gift from a notable alumnus and his spouse will allow Colby College to establish a new arts lab for students to conceive and develop their own projects.
The Lyons Arts Lab, named for 1985 graduate John Lyons, a film editor, opens this fall on the Waterville campus. Lyons made the donation with his wife, Susannah Gray, a retired pharmaceutical company executive who serves on the board of governors at the Colby College Museum of Art. The donation is an endowed gift, which means much of it will be invested to provide income that will keep the program funded for years to come.
College President David Greene said the lab “opens the door for thrilling new possibilities.”
“Providing students with the resources to create original films, plays, compositions, and more will fuel the creative spirit of this community and prepare students for careers as artists and arts leaders,” he said in a statement. “John Lyons knows this well. The films he made as a student at Colby led to a lifetime of filmmaking and award-winning visual storytelling.
“John and Susannah have been innovators throughout their careers, and their generous and visionary gift will ensure generations of Colby students will follow that path.”
The lab is envisioned as an incubator for student-led work, augmented by industry professionals. The goal is for projects to ultimately be performed for the public. Part of the program will include visiting artists and artists in residence who will offer workshops and master classes, while also developing their own projects.
The lab will be permanently housed in the new Gordon Center for Creative and Performing Arts, which opens next fall.
“This gift is meant to help students have their dreams take shape in the real world and transform their ideas into something that they produce, see, touch, and that other people can experience,” Lyons said in a statement provided by Colby. “It will provide a sort of scaffolding and infrastructure for creative growth and realizing creative ideas — whether it’s having a professional reading of a play, going down to New York to have a hands-on experience with a working artist, or mashing music, dance, science, and math all together for a one-of-a-kind performance piece.”
Lyons added that he hopes students will be emboldened to take creative risks.
The new lab will join three others that have been established at Colby in the last six years. They are: the Linde Packman Lab for Biosciences Innovation, the Buck Lab for Climate and Environment, and the Halloran Lab for Entrepreneurship.
Lyons, who lives in New York, has many film editing credits and is best known for his work with writer/director Ritesh Batra on the 2013 film “The Lunchbox,” a 2017 film starring Jim Broadbent called “The Sense of an Ending,” and another film from 2017, “Our Souls at Night,” starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.
Lyons also has edited the directorial debuts of actors Paul Bettany and Meg Ryan.

Since Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, the United Kingdom, the royal family, and the world have been plunged into a mourning period so deep that it will take weeks to go back to normal.
The scenes of mourners leaving flowers, cards, and stuffed animals at the gates of Buckingham Palace are reminiscent of Princess Diana’s death in August 1997. While Diana’s death obviously came as a bigger shock, it seemed as if nobody was really prepared for the Queen to die.
Despite being 96, and experiencing deteriorating health since the death of her beloved husband Prince Philip in April 2021, it felt like the Queen would live forever.
Unfortunately, that was not to be, and the royal family was united in grief this week as they walked behind the Queen’s coffin, where she will lie in state at Westminster Hall until her funeral on Monday.
In a surprisingly vulnerable moment, Prince William revealed his feelings about the procession to mourners who were lined up at Sandringham where he and his wife Kate Middleton did a walkabout.
The new Prince and Princess of Wales looked to be in better spirits than a few days ago, this time even laughing and smiling with the crowd. However, behind their smiles was clearly heartbreak at the death of William’s beloved “granny.”
Prince William reportedly told mourners it was ‘very difficult’ to walk behind the Queen’s coffin
William reportedly told a well-wisher that walking behind the Queen’s coffin “brought back a few memories,” and that it was “very difficult.” He later said, “Don’t cry now, you’ll start me off”.
It brought back memories for everyone watching as well, who may remember much younger versions of Prince William and Prince Harry as they silently walked behind their mother, Princess Diana’s coffin, 25 years ago, almost to the day.
Anyone who follows the royal family, or even picks up a newspaper these days, knows that Prince William and Prince Harry are not on good terms (and that is putting it mildly). Yet, they were united in grief as they walked side-by-side behind their father, King Charles III behind Queen Elizabeth’s coffin.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lobbed ‘truth bombs’ at the royals since ‘Megxit’
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle quit the royal family and fled the United Kingdom to live in their own version of a palace in Montecito, California in 2020. In a move that was dubbed “Megxit” by the British press, the couple unceremoniously made their announcement via Instagram, shocking the royal family, who was not quite expecting it.
Since then, they’ve lobbed “truth bombs” across the Atlantic, starting off with an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in which they accused the royal family of racism.

Mahomes throws 5 TDs, Chiefs hammer Cardinals 44-21
GLENDALE, Ariz. — (AP) — Kansas City coach Andy Reid looked slightly perplexed during Sunday's postgame press conference when asked why his quarterback Patrick Mahomes is so good in season openers.
Reid didn't notice any difference.
“He’s pretty good all the time,” he said with a slight grin. “We're lucky to have him.”
Mahomes threw for 360 yards and five touchdowns, Clyde Edwards-Helaire caught two touchdown passes and the Chiefs rolled to an impressive 44-21 road win over the Arizona Cardinals in the opener for both teams.
The game was never in doubt after the opening minutes, with Mahomes picking apart the Cardinals’ defense with his usual array of good decisions and deft passing touch. The quarterback was playing his first NFL game against Kliff Kingsbury, who coached Mahomes in college at Texas Tech and now leads the Cardinals.
The student put on quite a show for his mentor: The 2018 MVP threw three touchdown passes on Kansas City’s first three drives.
After his fourth touchdown, he turned toward the Cardinals' sideline for a little trash talk, holding up four fingers to remind them of the damage he had already caused against the Arizona defense.
Mahomes said no matter how successful he becomes, he'll always feel like the underdog. He's now 5-0 in season openers, throwing 18 touchdowns and zero interceptions.
“I'm just a guy from Texas Tech they said couldn't play in the NFL,” Mahomes said. “I've always had that mindset of proving we're the Kansas City Chiefs, we still can win the AFC Championship, win the AFC West and win the Super Bowl.”
Tight end Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 121 yards and a touchdown. It was his 30th career game with at least 100 yards receiving. Kansas City outgained Arizona 488 yards to 282. Mahomes completed 30 of 39 passes.
“We always believed we were going to go out there and put on a show,” Mahomes said. “Guys did that.”
The onslaught started in a hurry.
Kansas City jumped out to a 7-0 lead on the opening drive, capping an 11-play, 75-yard march with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Kelce. The Chiefs pushed ahead 14-0 later in the first on a nifty play from Mahomes, who threw an underhanded shovel pass to Edwards-Helaire for the 3-yard score.
The Chiefs led 23-7 by halftime after Harrison Butker, who missed part of the first half with a left ankle injury, made a 54-yard field goal with two seconds left in the second quarter.
Kansas City — which is trying to make the AFC title game for a fifth straight season — had a 37-7 advantage by the fourth quarter.
It was a rough start for Arizona, which also suffered through a brutal ending to 2021. The Cardinals have lost six of seven games dating to last season, including the playoffs.
“They beat us in every way,” Kingsbury said. “There is no denying it, no hiding from it. We didn’t execute in any phase and they played at a high level.”
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was playing his first game since being rewarded with a $230.5 million, five-year contract during the offseason. He finished 22-of-34 passing for 193 yards and two touchdowns, though much of that production came when the Chiefs already had control of the game.
“You can either start sulking about it or look in the mirror for what it is,” Murray said. “It's a long season. We got punched in the mouth. How do you respond?”
The Cardinals came into Week 1 missing some of their best players. Three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins was suspended for the season's first six games after violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. Star defensive lineman J.J. Watt was inactive because of a calf injury.
SAFETY KICKER
Butker left the game in the first quarter because of an ankle injury, so the Chiefs turned to safety Justin Reid to handle the job.
He actually did OK.
Reid was made 1 of 2 attempts on extra points and also blasted a kickoff through the back of the end zone for a touchback. The safety was prepared for his role as the emergency kicker: He made an extra point during a preseason game.
Butker returned late in the second quarter.
Mahomes completed touchdown passes on the first three drives of Kansas City's season. He's the second quarterback to do that since at least 1991. The other was Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers in 2011.
INJURIES
Chiefs: RG Trey Smith (ankle) left the game in the first half and didn't return. ... CB Trent McDuffie (hamstring) left the game in the second half. ... Mahomes fell on his left wrist during the first quarter, which is his non-throwing arm. The quarterback said he was sore, but postgame tests didn't reveal any structural damage.
Cardinals: Arizona entered the game with a banged-up roster, especially considering this is the first week of the season. WR Rondale Moore (hamstring), CB Trayvon Mullen (toe), OL Justin Pugh (neck) and Watt were all inactive because of injuries.
UP NEXT
Chiefs: Host the Chargers on Thursday night.
Cardinals: Travel to face the Raiders next Sunday.

Vučić presented Viktor Orbán with the medal: "This is your second house" VIDEO/PHOTO
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán arrived in Belgrade, where he met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.
Source: TanjugVučić presented Orbán with the Order of the Republic of Serbia on a Grand Collar for exceptional merit in development and strengthening of peaceful cooperation and friendly relations between Serbia and Hungary.
Vučić pointed out that he is honored to have the opportunity to honor Orbán.
"This is the highest order awarded by the President of Serbia," he said.
"It is with great pride that I am awarding this medal to a great friend of Serbia. I thank the President of Hungary for his contribution to the development of bilateral cooperation between the two countries," Vučić said.
"Be assured that our citizens truly appreciate such friends and neighbors," said Vučić.
"Thank you for finding the strength to ensure a better and warmer future for our citizens, even in these difficult times when everyone is only looking out for themselves," said Vučić.
"We know that without this recognition you would work for the benefit of our country's interests, we hope that this order will always be a reminder for the Hungarian people and all our friends. We have never had a greater friend than Hunyadi János (Sibinjanin Janko)," said Vučić.
Vučić also referred to the criticism of the authorities in Serbia. "And today and tomorrow they are here again to lecture us, and I assume that they will continue to do that, and those who win seven percent of the votes in their country, come to speak to me with sixty percent of the votes," said Vučić.
"How easy it is to protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and how easy it is to forget that the UN Charter and Resolution 1244 exist when it comes to Serbia," he added. Vučić pointed out that Serbia has its own national interests and that our country will not deviate from them, because "someone with five or seven percent of the vote thinks it should".
President of Serbia once again congratulated Orbán on the award and said that Serbia represents "his second home".
Orbán: It's an honor
Orbán said that he was honored to have had the opportunity to receive this order and added that the award is rarely given to people who are still in service, and then joked that he does not take it as a dismissal, but as support.
"Hungarians like to give titles to their leaders," Orbán stated and said that in his country there is a title of "Greatest Hungarian".
Orbán thanked Vučić for the award and for being a friend of his country. "Friendship is broken only when it comes to water polo, where we have to fight against each other. History reminds us of a common mission, which is that we should jointly defend the southern door of Europe. It is, on the one hand, a mission and the responsibility of both Serbia and Hungary. History, geography, centuries-old friendship bind us, I am grateful to you and the Serbian people for considering me worthy of receiving the award of the Republic of Serbia," Orbán said.
He pointed out that Serbia and Hungary have a common mission, which is to "defend the southern door of Europe".
Orbán also commented on the European Parliament's decision to condemn Hungary for allegedly undermining European values and characterized that move as a joke and a left-wing pamphlet. He pointed out that he considers it a joke and something that belongs in the realm of jokes.
"We don't laugh at that anymore, because we're tired of that joke. The European Parliament has already done that two or three times by adopting resolutions condemning Hungary. We used to think it had significance, but we see that it's a joke," he said. Orbán pointed out that the European left has captured the European Parliament, and that there is a left-wing majority, and that the Hungarian ally, the European People's Party (EPP), is increasingly moving to the left.
The right, he adds, managed to hold onto only a minority position. "Voting relations show that. The right-wing parties voted in favor of Hungary, and the left voted against. It's a party attack, and it's not the first. The level of the adopted document can be called a pamphlet," said Orbán. He pointed out that Serbs know what it means to have a negative opinion about a country, and that this is happening to Hungary.
"They have simply lost their words, so now they are inventing new terms. A time will pass and the negative attributes used for Hungary will disappear, so they will invent new ones," he emphasized. Orbán pointed out that elections are held in Hungary where citizens vote, and based on those votes the government is formed.
"When a right-wing government is formed, the left does not like it, so it organizes attacks. They amused themselves with that decision, and we are not interested in that," said the head of the Hungarian government.

However, Marsh also has a lot of experience of leading the Western Australia side. He denied giving any comments on the same and said that there is some time left for the same.
“I think there may be conversations down the track. But this World Cup is so important to us as a team, and for me personally it’s everything I’ve worked for over the last couple of years,” Marsh added,
“Cricket Australia have a bit of time to make that [captaincy] call over the next few months, and we’ll see where it lands.”

No injuries were reported.

Double Demerit Points Could Run Over WA’s Five-Day Long Weekend
Unplanned public holidays
9News
West Australian drivers could be facing five days of double demerit points next week.
The likely move follows the announcement from the Federal Government on Sunday that a National Day of Mourning will be held next Thursday to celebrate the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
The extra public holiday to mark the monarch's passing on September 22, means WA's double demerit system could run right through until midnight on the Queen’s Birthday holiday on Monday, September 26.
Stay up-to-date on the latest news with The National Briefing - keeping you in the loop with news as it hits:
Although a decision has not yet been reached, Police Commissioner Col Blanch said it was likely to be included.
“We most likely will bring it in but I want to get the message out to the community to let them know that’s happening,” he told 6PR on Wednesday morning.
“The reason I’m not confident on it is we don’t usually plan for unplanned public holidays,” he said.
The following offences are subject to Double Demerits:
- Speeding
- Drink or drug driving
- Failing to wear a seatbelt and child restraint
- Running a red light
- Illegal use of a mobile phone while driving
- Drive a motor vehicle fitted with a device designed to evade detection by a speed camera
- Drive a motor vehicle in a manner to evade detection by a speed camera
The aim of the initiative is to encourage safe driving on long weekends and public holidays.
The Briefing serves up the latest news headlines and a deep dive into a topic affecting you. Hosted by Tom Tilley and co-hosts Katrina Blowers, Antoinette Lattouf, Rhianna Patrick and Jamila Rizvi.

Amanda Holden rose at dawn on Friday morning and slipped into a soft forget-me-not blue outfit to head to Westminster Hall and interview members of the queue paying tribute to the Queen.

The Heart Radio presenter's flattering outfit evoked warmth and serenity as she stood in silence to gather her emotions near in the shadow of Big Ben. Amanda wore a cashmere knitted V-neck top tucked into a smart wrap-around mini skirt and she completed the look with a matching dress coat – all in pale blue. At one point the ITV star slipped on a pair of slippers and carried her stilettos as she rushed away for an emotional moment of quiet contemplation.

Beijing slapped sanctions on a pair of US defense giants on Friday in response to US weapons sales to Taiwan.Mao urged the US government and companies to abide by the One China principle and the provisions of Sino-US communiques on relations, to halt arms sales and scrap military contacts with Taipei, and to “stop creating factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait.”“China will continue to take all necessary measures in light of the situation to firmly defend is own sovereignty and security interests,” the spokeswoman stressed.The restrictions were enforced less than 24 hours after State Department spokesman Ned Price announced that the Biden administration would “continue” to deepen the US-Taiwan “partnership” through “effective diplomatic, economic and military support.”China-US tensions over Taiwan experienced a fresh escalation on Wednesday after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced controversial draft legislation called the ‘Taiwan Policy Act of 2022.’The bipartisan bill calls on Washington to provide Taipei with $4.5 billion in additional ‘security assistance’, and a $2 billion loan guarantee authority for Taipei to purchase additional military equipment. The legislation also proposes designating Taiwan as a ‘major non-NATO ally’ to the US, and directs Washington to engage with the “democratic government of Taiwan,” deeming the later to be the legitimate representative of the island’s inhabitants. The bill instructs the Pentagon to establish joint training with Taiwan’s defense forces, and directs the State Department to submit a strategy to address alleged economic coercion by China against countries which increase support for Taiwan.If passed, the legislation would pose a direct violation of US commitments to the One China principle and communiques on US-China relations, which prohibit Washington from having formal diplomatic ties with Taipei, and recognizes the People’s Republic as the sole sovereign state in the international community going by the name ‘China’ (Taiwan formally calls itself the ‘Republic of China’ but the US dropped formal recognition in 1979).The bipartisan legislation, which has now advanced for consideration by the full Senate, comes amid already aggravated tensions between Beijing and Washington over Taiwan following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s provocative tip to the island in early August. Her visit has been followed up by additional visits to Taipei by other US lawmakers.Beijing reacted to the trips by Pelosi and her colleagues by launching a series of large-scale war games around the island.Taiwan broke off from mainland China at the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, with Kuomintang nationalist forces fleeing to the island after Mao Zedong’s Communists won control over the rest of the country.The People’s Republic never recognized Taiwan as a self-ruling territory, instead characterizing it as a renegade province destined for eventual reunification with the mainland under the ‘One China, Two Systems’ model applied to Hong Kong and Macau. Chinese President Xi Jinping has made Taiwan’s reunification a central plank of his national rejuvenation campaign.

Beijing Slaps Sanctions on Raytheon, Boeing Execs Over Taiwan Arms Sales
The move comes as tensions between Beijing and Washington continue to escalate over growing US support for Taiwan. This week, the Senate advanced a bill proposing billions of dollars in new security assistance to the island. The bill also calls for Taiwan to classified as a ‘major non-NATO ally’, in violation of Sino-US treaties on diplomatic ties.
Beijing slapped sanctions on a pair of US defense giants on Friday in response to US weapons sales to Taiwan.
“To defend China’s sovereignty and security interests, the Chinese government has decided to sanction Gregory J. Hayes, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, and Theodore Colbert III., President and Chief Executive Officer of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, who were involved in the latest arms sale,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning
said in a briefing Thursday.
Mao urged the US government and companies to abide by the One China principle and the provisions of Sino-US communiques on relations, to halt arms sales and scrap military contacts with Taipei, and to “stop creating factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait.”
“China will continue to take all necessary measures in light of the situation to firmly defend is own sovereignty and security interests,” the spokeswoman stressed.
The restrictions were enforced less than 24 hours after State Department spokesman Ned Price announced that the Biden administration would “continue” to deepen the US-Taiwan “partnership” through “effective diplomatic, economic and military support.”
China-US tensions over Taiwan experienced a fresh escalation on Wednesday after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
advanced controversial draft legislation called the ‘Taiwan Policy Act of 2022.’
The bipartisan bill calls on Washington to provide Taipei with $4.5 billion in additional ‘security assistance’, and a $2 billion loan guarantee authority for Taipei to purchase additional military equipment. The legislation also proposes designating Taiwan as a ‘major non-NATO ally’ to the US, and directs Washington to engage with the “democratic government of Taiwan,” deeming the later to be the legitimate representative of the island’s inhabitants. The bill instructs the Pentagon to establish joint training with Taiwan’s defense forces, and directs the State Department to submit a strategy to address alleged economic coercion by China against countries which increase support for Taiwan.

The president made his feelings known in a condolence message issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina on Friday in Abuja.
He urged members of the Akeredolu family to draw strength from the life lessons taught by mama, the values of care and compassion she inculcated in them and the sacrifices she made for her children to succeed in life.
Buhari prayed for the peaceful repose of the soul of the departed, and urged the family to hold fast to their faith and trust in God to guide them through this difficult period.

The British pound marked the 30th anniversary of Black Wednesday by falling to fresh lows on Friday, on the back of bleak retail sales data.
Black Wednesday, also known as the Sterling crisis, occurred on September 16, 1992.
On Friday, the currency slumped more than 1 per cent to $1.1351, the lowest level since 1985.
Retail sales volumes dropped by 1.6 per cent in monthly terms in August, data released by the Office for National Statistics showed.
That represented the biggest fall since 2021, far worse than the expectation of 0.5 per cent and the sharpest slump in eight months.
It was another sign that the economy is sliding into recession.
“Today’s retail sales data just released were terrible,” said MUFG analyst Derek Halpenny.
“The sterling-dollar exchange rate has further to fall in circumstances of increased financial market volatility.”
The pound has fallen about 16 per cent this year, mainly due to the strong dollar, but uncertainties over the new government’s plan to freeze energy bills via vast borrowing as it cuts taxes to stimulate the economy have also played a part.
The government's strategy does have the support of some economists, however.
“Liz Truss and her chancellor can expect howls of criticism from establishment economists and their cheerleaders when they hit the accelerator on their reforming agenda at next week's expected mini-budget,” said Patrick Minford, an economist who is professor of applied economics at Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University.
“They shouldn't listen. The idea that there's going to be a 'sterling bond market crisis' is for the birds.”
The fresh plunge in the pound occurred on the 30th anniversary of Black Wednesday, occurred when the UK Government was forced to withdraw sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM).
Brought in to stabilise European currencies in preparation for the introduction of the euro, the ERM required countries seeking to replace their currency with the euro to keep the currency in a specific range for several years.
The UK had been in the ERM for two years at the time it was forced to withdraw.

Following a call for the arrest of a Kaduna-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, the Northern Youths Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has warned that anyone who touches the scholar will have it to contend with.
In a press statement on Thursday signed by the national president of NYCN, Comrade Isah Abubakar, expressed concern over call by some individuals, under the aegis of Coalition for Peace in Nigeria (COPIN), calling on the Department for State Services (DSS) to arrest Gumi over his alleged romance with bandits and terrorist groups.
The statement reads “it is important that the so-called faceless group leaders should note that Gumi interference was borne out of his desire to see his region and people enjoy security, restore peace and protect human dignity in the North and North-West in particular, where bandits have taken over institutionalised authorities.
“He got involved to find a lasting solution to the activities of bandits in the region, and his involvement at the time he did was not with any bad intentions rather to salvage our nation.
It added, “Gumi’s call for amnesty was part of an alternative dispute resolution mechanism that has worked for other parts of the region and the world. He felt the same can be applied to check the activities of the criminals in the North and North West. Moreover Gumi was not the first to have called for such a move, the Governors of Katsina and Zamfara states have equally called for amnesty for bandits at different times?
According to NYCN, Mr Emeka Akwuobi’s call was a malicious one that can ignite a religious war in a country.
“Akwuobi should quickly be arrested so that he can unveil his sponsors, who are using him to push the country into war by his careless statement.
“The youths of Northern Nigeria will support every model that will be explored to bring an end to insecurity, but we will not tolerate any form of instigation against our leaders especially our religious leaders.
“We appreciate the efforts of all security agencies working tirelessly to see that our region and highways return back to normalcy, and the safety of travelers and members of the community,” the statement further read.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create an improved wagon transport and hitch-mounted cargo tray that can be used to transport items behind the car as well as to your desired location," said an inventor, from Thrumont, Md., "so I invented the HITCH MOUNTABLE CARRIER WAGON. My design would eliminate the need to remove the items from the cargo tray and reload them into the wagon."
The invention provides a convenient way to transport various items and cargo on the exterior of a vehicle and over a variety of terrain. In doing so, it eliminates the need to purchase a separate wagon-style transport and a hitch-mounted vehicle cargo tray. As a result, it increases maneuverability and it reduces physical strain. The invention features a space-saving design that is easy to apply and use so it is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, beach vacationers, tailgaters, etc. Additionally, a prototype is available.
The original design was submitted to the Baltimore sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 21-BDH-131, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

In partnership with the Arkansas Dept. of Education, funding will serve 650+ diverse, future educators through paid job-embedded, teacher apprenticeship degrees, certifications, and full-time teaching roles.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Reach University, our nation's nonprofit leader in accredited teacher apprenticeship-based degrees, and TNTP (formerly The New Teacher Project), a nonprofit addressing educational inequities in U.S. schools, announced today the receipt of a projected $8.7 million U.S. Department of Education grant to accelerate the growth and impact of its teacher prep apprenticeship degree and licensure programs throughout Arkansas' highest-need communities.
Issued in part of the Department's Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) grant program, and awarded on the heels of the Administration's recent announcement to utilize registered apprenticeships to achieve teacher staffing and representation goals, the funding will serve 650+ future educators, specialized in math, science, and English language arts, throughout the next five years.
"The state of Arkansas is investing heavily in smart teacher preparation and certification models that break down historical barriers to result in qualified, specialized and diverse educators leading classrooms across the state. Reach and TNTP have been on the forefront of this effort, and this funding will take Great Rivers ESC from our highest-need to highest-example of how districts can grow their own classroom-ready, representative teachers," said Karli Saracini, Assistant Commissioner of Educator Effectiveness at Arkansas Department of Education.
The program offers three distinct pathways into teaching, providing those who have completed high school, community college, and/or an undergraduate degree a tailored, debt-free and certified pathway into the classroom and beyond.
For those without an undergraduate degree, the program equips districts with the ability to grow their own educators by recruiting local talent to fill needed paraprofessional roles. Once the paraprofessional is hired, they will begin a job-embedded teacher apprenticeship, where their job leads to a Liberal Studies B.A. Upon degree completion, the paraprofessional will move into a full-time teaching position within the district.
"With the right training and degree, there are 1.3 million paraprofessionals who could fill 100% of the current 300,000 public school teacher vacancies. But to make adult learner degree attainment possible, we must remove the forced choice between a job and a degree. With Reach's job-embedded undergraduate programs, 'either/or' becomes 'yes/and,' creating a new way for districts to think about recruiting talent, upskilling that talent, and supporting each employee on a path to long-term career success. The state of Arkansas is not only a leader in embracing teacher apprenticeships to solve its teacher shortage, but in also starting with the communities who need it most," said Dr. Mallory Dwinal-Palisch, Chancellor, Reach University.
Reach's degree-bearing teacher apprenticeships offer a solution to long standing diversity and retention challenges seen throughout the country, and amplified in rural and low-income communities. The program ensures districts can recruit a diverse candidate pool, in which at least 50% of program completers and future teachers identify as Black, Indigenous and/or people of color. 90%+ of candidates are then hired and retained in their "home" districts for no less than five years. Demographic rates mirror Reach's other district partners across Arkansas, Louisiana, California and Alabama.
"What's most exciting is that we, alongside TNTP, are putting these funds to use today, day one," said Joe Ross, President, Reach University. "Reach is already serving nearly 200 diverse, future educators through our teacher apprenticeship degrees across every cooperative in the state. With this funding, we will not only dramatically expand the highly-qualified and specialized teacher pipeline, but we will also equip Arkansans with debt-free, job-embedded degrees, unlocking a new type of postsecondary opportunity."
The awarding of TQP's funding also reinforces the value of fully-embedded apprenticeship degrees and alternative credential pathways in solving the systemic teacher shortage. The grant will continue to fuel the integration of the final year of Reach's undergraduate program and the first year of the TNTP, Arkansas Professional Educator Pathway (ArPEP).
"By providing both debt-free pathways to the classroom for prospective teachers and giving more students access to effective, diverse educators, this program will contribute to better futures across these communities," said Dr. Tequilla Brownie, TNTP CEO and Arkansas native. "We are proud to be a partner in this work."
The joint integration is heavily focused on key mentorship with district certified teachers and Reach's award-winning faculty, many of whom are former Teachers and Principals of the Year. It also bridges ArPEP training and expands the curriculum beyond traditional senior-level and teacher certification coursework.
"With Reach, we will leverage this funding to expand the Arkansas Professional Educator Pathway (ArPEP), providing a job-embedded experience that is high-quality, faster, more affordable and seamless from a B.A. to teaching certification," said Celena Siprajim, Partner, TNTP.
TQP funding will serve future educators molding the educational experience and success of approximately 13,000 learners, across 34 schools and 10 Great Rivers ESC districts throughout the five-year grant period, while solving systemic challenges of recruiting and retaining qualified, specialized and job-ready teachers in Arkansas rural communities.
The program will soon scale to other high-need communities across the south and southeastern portions of the state, where Reach University is already working and utilizing existing state and federal workforce development funding to train future educators.
Reach University is a regionally accredited, non-profit university that pioneers debt-free apprenticeship-based degrees. Reach is actively solving America's teacher shortage by creating fully-embedded pathways for high-potential individuals to earn degrees, credentials and jobs as teachers within their own communities. By focusing on low-income, urban and rural regions, offering online tutorials and classes, and rendering academic credit for on-the-job experience, Reach University is eliminating barriers to entry in high-need professions, and building grow-your-own pipelines of locally representative talent.
TNTP believes our nation's public schools can offer all children an excellent education. A national nonprofit founded by teachers, we help school systems end educational inequality. We work at every level of the public education system to attract and train talented teachers and school leaders, ensure rigorous and engaging classrooms, and create environments that prioritize great teaching and accelerate student learning. Since 1997, we've partnered with hundreds of public school districts, charter school networks, and state departments of education. We have recruited or trained more than 50,000 teachers and inspired policy change through acclaimed studies such as The Mirage(2015), The Irreplaceables (2012), and The Widget Effect (2009). Our latest report, The Opportunity Myth (2018), followed nearly 4,000 students in five diverse school systems to learn more about their experiences in school. Today, TNTP works directly with more than 300 school systems in 35 states.

GROUNDUP ENVIRONMENT CRISIS
Media failed to warn society about climate collapse — science writer
Climate reporting guide for South African media launches.
The media has “failed in its role to warn society about climate collapse”, said science writer Leonie Joubert at the launch of an online climate reporting guide for South African journalists on Friday.
The guide was written by Fossil Free South Africa, a campaign for fossil fuel divestment, with input from civil society organisations and scientists, as a resource for journalists covering climate, environment and energy-related stories. It includes tips for reporters and editors on how to improve their reporting on climate change and how to give the issues “due prominence”.
Joubert said that the media must hold the government and the private sector to account for their role in the climate disaster. She said that journalists should write more about the systems that produce climate change.
“Governments aren’t acting fast enough to address this climate crisis,” said David Le Page, coordinator at Fossil Free SA. “This is a very fast-growing crisis. It’s not something linear and predictable.”
Thando Lukuko, of the South African Climate Action Network, said during the launch that there is a need to report on communities impacted by the climate crisis. He said that climate change news needs to be more “people-centric”.
Visit Daily Maverick’s home page for more news, analysis and investigations
Le Page said that a 2021 Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) attitudes survey showed that only 20% of South Africans understand that the climate crisis is caused by human actions.
The survey also showed that 44% of South Africans are de facto climate change denialists: 16% of them believe climate change is not happening, and 28% believe that it is a completely natural phenomenon.
He said the guide looks at many myths about climate change and links to resources, case studies, and experts on climate change.
During his presentation, Le Page said that accurate content, appropriate editorial presentation, accurate context, and enough content were the keys to getting climate journalism right. DM
