How Julian Tobias went from selling real estate to running the hottest clubs
Billionaire pub baron Justin Hemmes has long been known as Sydney’s most eligible bachelor.
But there’s a newcomer in town who’s on the trail of the Merivale boss.
Meet Julian Tobias, the handsome 43-year-old socialite from the Eastern Suburbs, who ascends the ranks of Sydney’s bartarians and threatens the likes of Hemmes and teenage playboy Stu Laundy.
How Tsar Julian Tobias, 43, (pictured left) in Sydney went from selling real estate to running the hottest clubs – and why he’s the city’s most eligible bachelor
Tobias made his first foray into nightlife nearly two decades ago when he founded Potts Point institution The Club.
He later founded Ssh Room, a bar so exclusive it can only be accessed with a password at the door.
In 2010, Tobias and his business partner Adam Abrams opened The Island, Australia’s first floating beach club in Sydney Harbour.
A year later, the couple dipped their toes into the beverage industry and launched the now popular brand C Coconut Water.
The infamous private venue owner, who recently split from his model girlfriend Charlotte Coquelin (pictured), confirmed this week that he is still on the market
The couple were together for five years and share an adorable Pomeranian dog
They remain on friendly terms with Tobias who praised Coquelin as she walked the runway at Sydney Fashion Week last year. (Pictured left: Tobias and Coquelin in happier times, and right: Tobias’ Instagram post about his now-ex watching her during Sydney Fashion Week 2021)
Coquelin is a popular model
Five years later, Tobias and Adams enjoyed even greater success with the launch of cleaning services company Whiz Technologies.
The company has been backed by lenders, including Goldman Sachs Australia boss Simon Rothery, Tony Gandel, Alex Waislitz’s Thorney Investment Group and former KPMG chief executive Jon Adgemis.
Whiz Technologies is now looking at an IPO in early 2023, which, if successful, should propel Tobias into a new financial stratosphere.
The one-time Cleo Bachelor of the Year finalist made headlines in 2014 when he began dating Canadian actress and Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev (pictured in April 2019)
In 2016, he moved on to Instagram megastar Alexis Ren (pictured in NYC in September 2016)
More recently, Tobias once again expanded his location empire by unveiling Potts Point speakeasy Sussudio.
The venue opened during Fashion Week in April and is already the ultimate destination for Sydney’s fashionable elite.
Named after Phil Collins’ hit song of the same name, Sussudio has a “secret club within the club” and has a reputation for being one of the hardest velvet ropes to sneak past due to its strictly enforced door policy.
Tobias (pictured here with friends) continues to rise in the ranks of Sydney’s Barts, threatening the likes of Merivale baron Justin Hemmes and playboy teen Stu Laundy
Tobias made his first foray into nightlife nearly two decades ago when he launched Potts Point institution The Club
Tobias, who recently spent $5.5 million on a penthouse in Bondi Beach, told the Daily Mail Australia that he has felt “recharged” since the launch of Sussudio.
“I’d say Sussudio has rekindled my passion for nightlife…creating a space that I’m happy with and playing the kind of music I love,” he said.
He plans to unveil more locations in the coming months, including a cantina-style Mexican restaurant that will open on Darlinghurst Road.
After that, he will open a ‘Tel Aviv-inspired supper club’ and another restaurant-cum-brasserie concept similar to his popular Bedouin eatery in Double Bay.
In 2010, Tobias and his business partner Adam Abrams opened The Island, Australia’s first floating beach club in Sydney Harbour.
Tobias spent $5.5 million on this Bondi Beach penthouse at the end of 2021
Meanwhile, Tobias is single and ready to mingle after recently breaking up with his gorgeous model girlfriend Charlotte Coquelin.
He confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that it is still on the market.
Tobias remained humble when asked how he felt being called Sydney’s most eligible bachelor.
More recently, Tobias once again expanded his location empire by revealing Potts Point speakeasy Sussudio (pictured
“I’m not quite sure I can live up to that,” he said with a smile.
“But it’s a compliment. I think I’ll take it on a rainy day.’
Tobias divorced Coquelin last year after a five-year romance.
The exes remain on friendly terms, with Tobias praising Coquelin as she walked the runway at Sydney Fashion Week last year.
The venue (pictured) opened during Fashion Week in April and is already the ultimate destination for Sydney’s fashionable elite
Tobias has been associated with a range of high profile and very beautiful women over the years.
The one-time Cleo Bachelor of the Year finalist made headlines in 2014 when he began dating Canadian actress and Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, before moving on to Instagram megastar Alexis Ren in 2016.
Tobias, who started his modeling career himself, began dating Coquelin a year later, and the pair quickly became one of the hottest couples in town.
Decked out as a tribute to the ’80s and ’90s, Sussudio was designed by style guru Josh Clapp

Sanjay Raut played major role in Patra Chawl transactions, ED claims, opposes bail
- Country:
- India
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut played a major role in the money laundering case related to Patra Chawl redevelopment and acted ''behind curtains'', the Enforcement Directorate (ED) told a court here on Friday while opposing his bail application.
The Rajya Sabha member was arrested in the case in July and is currently in judicial custody. He has moved the special court for Prevention of Money Laundering Act cases for bail.
The ED, in its reply, denied Raut's contention that the action against him arose from malice or political vendetta. “Accused played a major role in the offence through his proxy and confidant Pravin Raut (a co-accused)....to avoid the money trail (Sanjay Raut) has been operating behind curtains,” the probe agency said.
The ED probe pertains to alleged financial irregularities in the redevelopment of Patra Chawl, a tenement, and related financial transactions involving his wife and associates.
Siddharth Nagar, popularly known as Patra Chawl, in suburban Goregaon is spread over 47 acres and housed 672 tenant families.
In 2008, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), a government agency, assigned redevelopment contract for the Chawl to Guru Ashish Construction Private Limited (GACPL), a sister company of HDIL (Housing Development and Infrastructure Ltd).
GACPL was supposed to build 672 flats for the tenants and also give some flats to MHADA. It was free to sell remaining land to private developers.
But the tenants did not get a single flat in the last 14 years, as the company did not redevelop Patra Chawl, but sold land parcels and Floor Space Index (FSI) to other builders for Rs 1,034 crore, as per the ED.
It launched its own project called The Meadows and took a booking amount of Rs 138 crore from flat buyers, it claimed.
Pravin Raut, a close associate of Sanjay Raut, and other directors of Guru Ashish Constructions misled MHADA, it alleged.
Sarang and Rakesh Wadhawan of HDIL, prime accused in the PMC bank scam, too were directors of the company. The ED denied Sanjay Raut's claim that MHADA, by its letter dated July 28, 2007, had permitted Guru Ashish to sell the free sale component to raise funds for completing the project. MHADA had categorically stated that the developer can take a loan on the land earmarked for free sale, but the developer chose to sell FSI without permission, the central agency said.
''Thus sale proceeds of FSI are nothing but proceeds of crime,'' the ED said.
Sanjay Raut is a “very influential and powerful person” and if released on bail, he may tamper with evidence and there are already instances of his threatening witnesses, the ED claimed. Special judge M G Deshpande will hear arguments on September 19.

VIRGIN Media star Deric Hartigan blew away his co-stars Elaine Crowley, Ray Foley and Paul Ryder with his rapping skills on Ireland AM.
The weather presenter was out of the studio on location when he wowed the three presenters.
Ireland AM shared the clip on Instagram and Ray, Elaine and Paul were in the studio checking in with Deric.
Speaking in the clip Paul said: "Let's check in with Deric. How's it going, Hartigan?"
The next shot was of Deric outside and he said: "Yeah Ray the weather's so good we have a rap. Having fun in the mud feeling fine in Dublin nine.
"Got the sun with my hun everything will be alright. Boom! Someone's got that Friday feeling."
When the camera went back to the studio all the presenters were clapping as they were blown away by his skills.
Paul said: "Oh my goodness if I was expecting something it wasn't that."
Deric then said: "You weren't expecting that."
While Ray chimed in saying: "Gold. Release it. Mic drop."
Most read in TV
Then Elaine jokingly said: "[He's like] Snoop Dogg."
Ireland AM captioned the post saying: "One, two, three and to the four, Snoop Doggy Dogg and MC Deric is at the door."
This comes after Elaine recently said that her co-host's story "makes her want to yawn".
Killian O'Sullivan was in the hot seat last weekend as a guest presenter following the announcement of Simon Delaney's departure.
And speaking about a new idea from a business in Spain, Killian told how one restaurant is offering punters nap pods to catch some sleep after a large meal.
FOOD TALK
He said: "In other news, something that caught my eye. I love the idea of this.
"After a big feed, we all know it, you sit there and you're on the couch and you just want a little nap.
"So a restaurant in Barcelona offers complimentary Snooze Pods after your lunch.
"You go, you have a big fill of food and then they give you access to this little pod - sleeps two people - and you can go and have an hour's kip.
SLEEPY ELAINE
"There's somewhere to charge your phone, plug your laptop in, whatever you need to do.
"I love the idea of this because of two things. After a big feed, I either need to go for a walk or exactly that."
However, Elaine said that Killian's topic was making her sleepy.
She said: "You're making me yawn now."
Killian was offended that he had bored his co-host.
He said: "That doesn't bode well for my ability to entertain."
Elaine added: "Snoozey woozy time."
She later said: "I'm very tired now."

- Lions fullback Andries Coetzee acknowledged that they need to get off to a good start when they face the Bulls on Saturday.
- The Jukskei Derby will be the opening salvo of South Africa's second United Rugby Championship excursion.
- The Lions lost both games to the Bulls last year and only won one South African derby.
Andries Coetzee has observed and been part of the Lions' different rebuilding stints, but as one of the few remaining players from the Johan Ackermann era, he knows they need to get off to a good start against the Bulls on Saturday.
The sides meet in their United Rugby Championship opener at Ellis Park and the Lions, who are off on their travels from next week onwards, know beating the Bulls is significant for them.
The Lions, despite their excellence against the European sides, where they only lost one game against them at home, were manhandled by their South African counterparts.
Coetzee, who was part of the Lions' mazy runs to Super Rugby playoffs, knows how important winning at home will be.
"It's very important that we get our rebuilding journey off to a good start. We're heading overseas and we have a home game," Coetzee said.
"It’s a big game for us and home games are the matches that we need to win, especially if you want to reach the quarter-finals.
"The first couple of games are going to be very important for us. It may be the first game of the season and the guys may be rusty, but I know the Bulls will run the ball.
"However, at this point of the season as we start now, it's difficult to say what we'll expect from the Bulls."
Coetzee has spent some time away from Lions, where he played for the Kintetsu Liners and Benetton.
Having had a taste of Super Rugby, Japanese rugby, and even a bit of URC last season with Benetton, Coetzee has been in a position to notice changes and also be able to lend an experienced hand.
Coetzee, who has been capped 13 times by the Springboks, will be starting at 15 for the Lions on Saturday.
"The change from playing in New Zealand and Australia has been spectacular and something else," Coetzee said.
"Fortunately, I played in Europe, so I have the experience of playing over there and bringing the experience back here."
Kick-off is at 16:05.
Teams:
Lions
15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Edwill van der Merwe, 13 Henco van Wyk, 12 Marius Louw, 11 Quan Horn, 10 Jordan Hendrikse, 9 Morne van den Berg, 8 Francke Horn, 7 Ruhan Straeuli, 6 Sibusiso Sangweni, 5 Reinhard Nothnagel (captain), 4 Ruan Venter, 3 Ruan Dreyer, 2 PJ Botha, 1 Sithembiso Sithole
Substitutes: 16 Jaco Visagie, 17 JP Smith, 18 Ruan Smith, 19 Pieter Jansen van Vuren, 20 Emmanuel Tshituka, 21 Sanele Nohamba, 22 Gianni Lombard, 23 Zander du Plessis
Bulls

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M is ready to see if Max Johnson, a transfer from LSU, can lead the Aggies to a win in their final nonconference contest before league play starts in a little more than a week.
Johnson will take over for the ineffective Haynes King as A&M’s starting quarterback, according to a program insider and first reported by Jeff Tarpley of 247Sports and the A&M student newspaper the Battalion. The No. 24 Aggies (1-1) host No. 13 Miami (2-0) at 8 p.m. Saturday, what is expected to be Johnson’s first start for A&M.
He was the starting quarterback in LSU’s 27-24 victory over A&M in Baton Rouge, La., to wrap up the 2021 regular season. Johnson is the older brother of A&M tight end Jake Johnson and son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson, who led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title 20 years ago.
'BOUGHT IN': Questions of culture and buy-ins for Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M after loss to Appalachian State
Max Johnson (6-5, 220), a junior who grew up in Georgia, wrapped up his LSU career with 3,884 passing yards, including 35 touchdown passes to go with seven interceptions.
He threw for 305 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Aggies last Thanksgiving weekend, including a game-winning 28-yard touchdown pass to Jaray Jenkins along the right sideline with 20 seconds left — and then transferred to Jimbo Fisher’s A&M program.
Brad Johnson, 54, led the Buccaneers to a victory over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII, which took place in late January 2003.
King has six interceptions in four career starts, including two starts last year, and led A&M to a lone touchdown on offense in the Aggies’ 17-14 home loss to Appalachian State last weekend.

A massive nine-figure payout awarded to an elderly Black man left paralyzed from an encounter with a violently overzealous police officer in Georgia’s capital city has been slashed by more than half after a judge agreed that Atlanta shouldn’t have to pay so much despite the brutal nature of the case.
Just last month, a jury awarded a whopping $100 million to Jerry Blasingame, who, in 2018 as a 65-year-old, was hit with a Taser during a foot chase with Atlanta Police Officer Jon Grubbs over the decidedly nonviolent allegations of panhandling. Blasingame, now 69, fell and broke his neck after being shot with Grubb’s stun gun and is now paralyzed from the neck down.

Blasingame has become saddled with healthcare costs averaging about $1 million annually in addition to a $14 million medical bill, his lawyers said, prompting a jury to find that Grubbs used unreasonable and excessive force during the chase.
The jury ruled that Grubbs was on the hook for $40 million of the $100 million going to Blasingame, while the City of Atlanta was ordered to pay the remaining $60 million for providing inadequate training to its officers.
But on Wednesday, Judge Steve Jones — the same judge who presided over the trial — granted a motion filed by Atlanta to wipe out some or all of the $60 million the city had been ordered to pay. Jones decided that Atlanta was not responsible for any of the police brutality Grubbs doled out.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:
Jones said he did not make the decision lightly as “trial by jury is a hallmark of our justice system, a bedrock principle of this country.” However, he said, the court must “correct a clear error in those rare cases where juries reach a legally unsupportable result.”
Jones said an absence of “sufficient evidence” compelled him to hand down his ruling.
“Because Plaintiff failed to show that the City of Atlanta was the moving force behind Officer Grubbs’ use of taser against Mr. Blasingame, the Court finds that there was not sufficient evidence at trial for the jury to find against the City of Atlanta with respect to use-of-force or use-of-taser policies,” Jones wrote in his decision.
To be sure, Blasingame still gets $40 million, which is nothing to sneeze at. However, given the serious nature of his physical condition and how much money it will cost in healthcare for the elderly man who was paralyzed through no fault of his own, Blasingame obviously could have used that extra $60 million.
This is America.

The Panthers’ season opener against the Browns did not go Carolina’s way, but it was a weekend Emily Mayfield will surely remember.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the wife of Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield posted a series of snapshots from the past weekend, when she cheered on her husband while surrounded by loved ones.
“Best company a girl could ask for,” Emily captioned the post.
In his regular-season debut for the Panthers, Mayfield completed 16 of 27 attempts for 235 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Carolina ultimately fell to Cleveland, 26-24.
Mayfield, who was traded to Carolina in July after four seasons in Cleveland, said he was “disappointed with the way things finished” in the highly hyped matchup.
“I would love to have bragging rights against those guys, but we didn’t finish,” the 27-year-old quarterback said, per Sports Illustrated.
The Panthers will travel to New York this weekend, when they’ll face the Giants on Sunday.
As for Emily, who has been married to Mayfield since 2019, she has been keeping fans up to date about the couple’s move to Carolina. Last month, Emily shared an emotional note on Instagram as she packed up the pair’s home in Ohio.
“We bought that house before we were even engaged. We came back to that house after our honeymoon. We made friends. We danced in that kitchen. We had friends over for bbqs and bonfires. I cooked my first thanksgiving meal for Us + friends. We had our first Christmas there together; set up and decorated our first Christmas tree there,” Emily shared in August.
“I am leaving cleveland with such fond memories. Im leaving this house with a full heart.”

A crazy thing happened before the Giants completed a 16-yard pass to get out of an unmanageable first-and-20 situation … and again before both of Saquon Barkley’s 68- and 33-yard runs … and again before Chris Myarick’s game-tying touchdown catch.
A receiver or a running back motioned across the line of scrimmage.
After two seasons ranking at or near the bottom of the NFL in usage of motion — hovering around 25 percent of plays — the new-look Giants offense employed the extra element on 38 of 60 snaps in Week 1, according to CBS Sports.
“Any time you can distort the box — whether it’s creating a numbers count, getting guys in different spots, influencing second-level and third-level defenders — that helps, whether it’s pass or run,” offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said. “It helps also with the offensive line getting certain angles on blocks. It can help in the pass game where you are creating certain types of leverages. There are definitely a lot of benefits to it.”
Other than scoring more points — the Giants averaged an NFL-low 16.3 points under former play-callers Jason Garrett and Freddie Kitchens — the biggest difference in the offense during a 21-20 win against the Titans was the modernization. Traditional pre-snap motion and at-the-snap motion for fly sweeps — a receiver comes behind the quarterback as if ready to take an in-step handoff — were both utilized.
“There’s just a quick half-second you have to read that [fly sweep] and make sure it’s not real — or else you get hit for a 50-yard run,” said former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who was the booth analyst for Fox. “When you are running zone-read, the idea is you distort the read of the linebackers. Gaps are too hard to find, and the picture is now blurry because you’ve sent the smoke and mirrors idea of somebody buzzing across their face, and then you are hitting them from the other direction.”
It didn’t take long to see the benefits of melding together two of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. Head coach Brian Daboll came from the Bills and hired Kafka away from the Chiefs, where motion was used on about 65 percent of plays last season, according to ESPN.
“This whole offense is pretty different than any offense I’ve ever been in,” receiver Sterling Shepard said. “It’s tough to grasp, but whenever you get it, you can see how explosive it can be.”
Sanchez was schooled in motion by some of the preeminent West Coast Offense minds of this century while at USC.
“If you are just running motion for the sake of making your plays sound longer and cooler, that’s the stupidest thing — you might as well just line up in a static formation. Even if you are going to give stuff away, at least you are going to run the play right,” Sanchez recalled being told. “The purpose of motion is to get information from the defense. If you don’t know exactly, it will at least eliminate certain options.”
The Giants’ new multipronged approach to motion created mismatches, allowed a running, extra half-step on defensive backs, neutralized a physical pass rush by tiring out big bodies with lateral movement instead of up-field charges, deciphered man-versus-zone coverage and more, Sanchez said. When the Titans didn’t react, the Giants handed off to Kadarius Toney for a 19-yard gain on a fly sweep.
“That’s not, Day 1, easy stuff to do,” Sanchez said. “For Kafka, knowing what he knows and how much he is going to grow, and with Daboll, all his knowledge and experience, that’s so real. They do it for the right reasons and at the right times. It sounds so simple, but it’s something they are so well-versed on because of their backgrounds, that it’s only going to help them.”
If it is going to continue, the Giants will need to stay healthier than in the past. One likely reason the offense minimized motion the past two seasons was a revolving door of receivers and tight ends that weeded out advanced concepts from the playbook to minimize mistakes.
“It’s a lot of moving parts,” Shepard said. “This game is about inches, and it’s the small things. Any time you can mix up the defense that way and get a chance to see what they’re in, you can get a beat on them, and it helps us out.”

The Lake County department of public works laid out plans involving more than 300 projects earlier this month as it presented its five-year capital improvement plan to members of the Lake County Board’s Public Works, Planning and Transportation Committee.
The capital improvement plan from 2023 to 2027 forecasts a need for roughly $91.4 million to keep up with needed projects, planned and emerging, and to stay up to date with regulatory requirements. Over the next 10 years, Interim Public Works Director Austin McFarlane and staff are projecting a need for about $160 million.
McFarlane said the plan was drafted to ensure Lake County keeps up with regulatory requirements, maximizes the life span of existing assets, replaces aging infrastructure at the right time and takes advantage of existing capacity to meet future demands involving transportation, stormwater, drinking water and wastewater.
He added that it was drafted with Lake County’s Strategic Plan in mind, which aims to “deliver exceptional, financially and environmental responsive/responsible services that promote a safe, affordable, healthy and resilient community.”
The department of public works has slated $7.4 million in projects regarding water production and storage, $4.2 million for water distribution, $3.9 million in wastewater collection and $500,000 for other support facilities and equipment in 2023.
The price tag jumps up to a projected $34.2 million for the 2024 financial year, largely due to $13.6 million in planned projects at water reclamation facilities, which were a focus this year and aren’t expected to require any funding next year. The department is projecting spending totals of $14.6 million in 2025, $14.6 million in 2026 and $12.6 million in 2027.
The Lake County Board allocated about $18.6 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding for seven projects in 2022, including water system upgrades for the Oak Terrace subdivision and West Oak Middle School in Mundelein and connection to Lake Michigan water for the Pekara and Horatio Gardens subdivisions in Vernon Township.
Three projects at Des Plaines River Water Reclamation Facility also received ARPA funds for the installation of high efficiency blowers, disc filters and ultraviolet disinfection treatment.
Committee member John Wasik, who represents District 6 which includes Grayslake and parts of Round Lake Beach, Round Lake Park and Wildwood, called the presentation “quite comprehensive” as he inquired about the water main replacements scheduled for Wildwood in 2023.
“Any idea how much roughly that’s going to cost?” Wasik asked.
Engineering project manager Emily Karry estimated that project could require about $5 million, though presenters said the totals were likely to change before construction begins.
The Grandwood Park neighborhood in Warren Township is set to undergo water main replacements in 2024 along Grandwood Drive and Woodland Terrace, according to engineering supervisor Brittany Albrecht Sloan. She said there have been main breaks in Wildwood and Grandwood Park which have recently caused problems.
“In both of these neighborhoods we’ve experienced a number of breaks just based on pipe age and material and that does cause service interruptions for our customers,” Albrecht Sloan said.
Ann Maine, who represents District 21 which spans from Riverwoods to include portions of Grayslake and Gurnee, asked McFarlane about environmental regulators lowering the threshold of phosphorus allowed in drinking water, and if the county was in position to be able to be compliant with any changes.
McFarlane said the Des Plaines River Water Reclamation Facility still has a phosphorus level that could be higher than updated state standards would allow, noting the county still has “some work to do” to lower it if standards tighten.
“We may have to do some more work into the upper Des Plaines River for cleanup, but we’re hoping that the state will look at that as favorable with the changes we’ve made today,” he said.
In general, though, McFarlane said the county has been able to decrease phosphorus levels.
“We try to keep a keen eye on sustainability, and a good case in point is our phosphorus reduction program,” McFarlane said. “We have been able to reduce the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen that we release into the receiving stream (that is) a much greater reduction than we have had in 10 years.”
The public works department maintains 12 water systems, more than 290 miles of water main pipes, 25 wells, 10 water reservoirs and eight water towers. It also owns and operates three wastewater facilities, seven sewer systems, more than 470 miles of sanitary sewer piping, seven interceptor sewers and five major wastewater pump stations.
Member Jennifer Clark, who chairs the committee, asked about an increase in emergency water storage capacity resulting from connecting Lake County’s Vernon Hills water system and the Village of Lincolnshire’s water system and how long it could last.
McFarlane said he was comfortable there would be enough capacity in the event of an emergency shutdown for repairs, though maybe not quite enough capacity for a shutdown of 24 hours.
“We certainly can’t stop there,” McFarlane said. “Not only is our infrastructure aging, but CLCJAWA’s infrastructure is also aging so we have to continuously look at ways to improve storage not only in Vernon Hills, but in all our water systems.”
“I’m glad to hear we’ll have more storage,” Clark replied.

Climate change jeopardizes health care services, report says
Updated 4:52AM
WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Suzy Fitzgerald remembers looking out the windows as wildfire flames surrounded the hospital where she worked.
"We had fire in all three directions," Fitzgerald recalled. "I thought, 'Oh gosh, this is serious. We need to get these people out.'"
Fitzgerald helped with the evacuation of 122 patients from Kaiser Permanente's Santa Rosa Medical Center on that night nearly five years ago, as the blaze gobbled up homes and buildings across Northern California. The hospital, which had filled with smoke, closed for 17 days.
Medical centers around the country say that fires, flooding, heat waves and other extreme weather are jeopardizing medical services, damaging health care facilities and forcing patients to flee their hospital beds, according to a report released Thursday by the House Ways and Means Committee.
At a hearing, Dr. Parinda Khatri, the CEO of Cherokee Health Systems, told the committee that a pediatric clinic in Knoxville, Tennessee, was forced to close for 10 days this summer during a heatwave after the air conditioning system broke down.
Nearby wildfires forced evacuations at facilities in Oregon during 2020, Elizabeth Schneck of Providence Health told the committee.
A majority of the 63 hospital systems and community health centers that responded to the committee's questionnaire say they have experienced at least one extreme weather event at some point in the last five years, with many of those saying they had experienced more than one.
The health centers reported a wide range of economic impact from the weather events, with the emergencies they experienced costing between $28,000 to $22 million to cover building damages, closures, evacuations, overtime for employees or deferred elective procedures, for example.
The organizations are not necessarily representative of hospital systems nationwide and may overrepresent both "large health systems with more resources to implement high-cost interventions and small community-based providers on the frontline with limited supports," according to the report.
The report indicated that medical facilities are investing more resources, staff and planning to prepare for emergency weather-related events.
Fitzgerald said officials at the Kaiser Permanente facility took a hard look at its plans after the 2017 wildfire evacuation and developed new policies, including a new information tag staff attaches to patients with details about their condition and needs during an evacuation.
"It made for a much more orderly response," Fitzgerald said.
Paul Biddinger, the chief preparedness and continuity officer for the Mass General Brigham health care system in New England, said they had hired climate scientists and engineers to examine its 30 buildings after watching hurricanes and floods devastate hospitals in New Orleans, New York City and Kentucky over the last two decades.
"Our health care system is clearly vulnerable," said Biddinger. "But many people, including leaders of the health care entities themselves, often do not appreciate the degree of vulnerability."
Many of the facilities included in the report indicated that they've put together working groups or have staff dedicated to climate change issues.
New York's Northwell health, the state's largest health care provider, has an emergency command room where staff monitors the news across televisions. Two of the screens are always turned to the weather.
From flooding that's made it difficult for ambulances navigating roads to gusty winds and snow that have threatened power, the health care system has had to deal with more than 20 weather events in the last five years, said Donna Drummond, Northwell's chief expense and chief sustainability officer.
Extreme weather is also a consideration when Northwell constructs a new facility or hospital, she said.
"Climate change is here, it's happening, it's impacting us," Drummond said. "We need to be resilient. Our facilities need to be able to withstand storms and that were prepared for these events."
The health care system itself is a driver of climate change, accounting for an estimated 10% of the carbon dioxide emitted annually in the U.S. President Joe Biden has set a goal of cutting U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by at least half by 2030.
House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., urged the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to release guidelines for health care centers to track and report those emissions.
"It's clear more climate-related weather events and rising emissions will continue to worsen health care outcomes, and the time for action is now," he said.
Roughly half of the facilities responding to the committee said they are tracking their carbon footprint or using programs to reduce their carbon footprint.
But many health care organizations are not doing enough to reduce pollution, Jodi Sherman, an associate professor at Yale School of Medicine told the House Ways and Means Committee.
"Voluntary measures are insufficient to transform the health care sector," Sherman said.

Bed Bath & Beyond is closing "lower-producing" stores to following a decline in sales.
The company released a list Thursday of more than 50 stores it will close in 2022.
The closures include stores in 20 different states, including Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Ohio and Texas.
Bed Bath & Beyond is reducing its workforce by about 20% as it tries to turn things around.
The retailer reported a 26% drop in sales compared to the second quarter of the 2021 fiscal year.
In an effort to improve sales, Bed Bath & Beyond said it will change its merchandising and inventory strategy. That strategy, the retailer says, will be rooted in national brands.

Call of Duty’s battle royale spinoff Warzone has been a hit since it was released in 2019, but now it’s branching out into the world of phones with Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. The game is built for the ground up for mobile platforms and will arrive on iOS and Android sometime in 2023.
The trailer appears to show many locations from Warzone’s original Verdansk map, but with plenty of updates to keep things interesting. Activision has also announced that the game will feature Loadout 2.0 and cross-progression with Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare 2, allowing players to earn progress on their battle pass on the go.
The mobile version of the game was teased by Activision several months ago, but was confirmed on Thursday during Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty Next presentation, complete with a new trailer and a few announcements about how the game will work on this new type of platform.
Players can pre-register for the game now on the Google Play Store.

Columbus woman indicted for allegedly helping FBI shooting suspect dodge police
Published: Sep. 16, 2022 at 11:22 AM EDT|Updated: 7 minutes ago
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - A Columbus woman has been indicted after allegedly helping a wanted man avoid law enforcement after shooting at an FBI agent last month.
On July 28, 25-year-old Joshuia Johnathon Luke Brown was involved in shooting multiple times at an FBI agent in Columbus. Brown turned himself in to the FBI on August 10 after reportedly feeling pressure from the multi-day manhunt.
A federal grand jury in Columbus returned a four-count indictment on September 14 charging 20-year-old Derijuana Porter with the following:
- One count of possession of a stolen firearm for which she faces a maximum sentence of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine
- One count of misprision of a felony for which she faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a $250,000 fine
- Two counts of false statement to a federal agency for which she faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count
This case is being investigated by FBI and Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office.

Tennis legend Roger Federer has announced retirement from professional tennis after next week’s Laver Cup in London. The 41-year-old was ranked world No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for 310 weeks, including a record 237 consecutive weeks.
His decision to call it time on his career has come after spending a lot of time away from the game due to frequent knee injuries. Federer underwent knee surgery after 2020 Australian Open and another knee injury in June of that same year. Most recently, he underwent yet another knee surgery after Wimbledon 2021. This was the third surgery within 18 months and also ruled him out of the Tokyo Olympics.
“As many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and surgeries. I've worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body's capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear. I am 41 years old. I have played more than 1500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt, and now I must recognize when it is time to end my competitive career,” Roger Federer said in a statement posted on his Twitter account.
“The Laver Cup next week in London will be my final ATP event. I will play more tennis in the future, of course, but just not in Grand Slams or on the tour. This is a bittersweet decision, because I will miss everything the tour has given me. But at the same time, there is so much to celebrate. I consider myself one of the most fortunate people on Earth. I was given a special talent to play tennis, and I did it at a level that I never imagined, for much longer than I ever thought possible,” he added.

With the Border Ablaze, 66 National and Local Talk Hosts Gather on Capitol Hill to Hold President Biden's and Congress' Feet to the Fire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- During its first year and a half in office, the Biden-Harris administration has created an unprecedented border, immigration, national security, public health, and humanitarian crisis along our southern border. Some 5 million illegal entries have been recorded since the president was sworn in, and an estimated 2.3 million have either been released into the country or eluded apprehension. At the same time, a record flow of lethal drugs is pouring across the same open border.
On September 21st and 22nd, 66 national and local talk radio hosts will broadcast live in Washington, D.C., at the Federation for American Immigration Reform's (FAIR) 15th Hold Their Feet to the Fire radio row in what has become the largest annual gathering of talk hosts in the country. The two-day event will focus on the failed immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration and the Schumer-Pelosi-led Congress, holding them both accountable.
"The Biden-Harris administration has not only taken a torch to every aspect of U.S. immigration policy and law, with disastrous results, they are blatantly lying to the American public. Just this week, Vice President Harris claimed on national television that our borders are secure," charged Bob Dane, executive director of FAIR. "Sadly, the ideologically-driven mainstream news outlets refuse to report the extent of the damage the Biden-Harris administration has wrought on the American public. The American public knows it is being lied to, and the purpose of Hold Their Feet to the Fire is to make sure that the American people have the information they need to hold the administration and Congress accountable for their reckless and politically-driven policies by blanketing the nation's radio airwaves."
This year's Hold Their Feet to the Fire radio row will take place on the roof deck of 400 North Capitol Street, home to many of the nation's leading news organizations. Credentialed media are welcome to attend and speak to the dozens of radio hosts, members of Congress, immigration policy experts, law enforcement officials, and others who are participating.
When:
Wednesday September 21 and Thursday September 22 from 6:00 am until 8:00 pm.
Where:
The roof deck of 400 North Capitol Street on Capitol Hill. Look for signs in the lobby directing to a special reception desk. No RSVP required.
Who:
66 national and local talk radio hosts
Dozens of members of Congress
Former federal immigration enforcement officials
Dozens of sheriffs from across the country
Immigration policy experts
Angel Families and border residents

Founded in 1979, FAIR is the country's largest immigration reform group. With over 3 million members and supporters nationwide, FAIR fights for immigration policies that serve national interests, not special interests. FAIR believes that immigration reform must enhance national security, improve the economy, protect jobs, preserve our environment, and establish a rule of law that is recognized and enforced.

The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday is expected to draw many world leaders and a television audience of millions of viewers.
The funeral has been planned well before the queen’s death last week. She was Britain’s longest-serving monarch and the line to view her coffin reached 5 miles on Friday. Viewing of her casket will end early Monday morning, ahead of her state funeral.
The U.K. government has declared Monday a bank holiday, and many businesses will close. Other commonwealth nations, including Canada, have declared Monday a federal holiday.
While hundreds of thousands of mourners could visit her coffin at Westminster Hall, only 2,000 will be on hand at her state funeral. Among those expected to attend is U.S. President Joe Biden.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will deliver the sermon.
BBC News reported that 200 front-line workers who helped the response to the COVID-19 pandemic will be among those invited to Monday’s funeral.
Before her funeral gets underway, a procession will lead the queen’s coffin from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey around 5:30 a.m. ET Monday. Her funeral will then get underway at 6 a.m. ET (11 a.m. local). The funeral is expected to last an hour.
At the end of Monday’s funeral service, a two-minute national moment of silence will be held.
Her body will then be escorted to Wellington Arch. Her coffin will then be taken to Windsor where her family and closest friends will join together for a private ceremony.

Woman accused of killing man she met through social media, authorities say
RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT/WDAM/Gray News) – A woman from Nashville was charged with the murder of a man from Mississippi she met through social media, according to police.
Authorities said Sierra Inscoe, 20, and Carson Sistrunk, 24, met online and had planned to meet in person, WLBT reports.
Sistrunk was reported missing Sept. 6, but WDAM reports that his body was discovered last week at an oil well site by a worker who noticed tire tracks.
Jefferson Davis County Sheriff Ron Strickland said Sistrunk had been shot.
Authorities said Inscoe became a suspect in Sistrunk’s killing after being stopped by an officer while she was driving a vehicle that belonged to Sistrunk.
Agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrested Inscoe on Sunday. The agency issued a warrant for her arrest for a felony taking of a motor vehicle charge out of Rankin County.
Inscoe was denied bond during her initial court appearance Wednesday.
Although Inscoe is being charged with murder in Jefferson Davis County, she is currently being held at the Rankin County Detention Center.

Sofos
Farsoon Flight Machine
Farsoon Technologies first introduced Flight Technology, or Fiber Light Technology in 2019, offering ‘industry-leading’ production rates with plastic laser powder bed fusion. In 2021, the Dual-Laser configuration of the Flight 403P system was announced with even higher productivity.
The Flight HT403P system at Sofos Robotics Co, is used for industrial projects such as prototyping and series production using a range of application-specific engineering materials.
Sofos Robotics initially entered the world of additive manufacturing to improve the components that it needed for automation cells such as custom brackets and mounting plates, part nests and gripper fingers. The company began with FDM machines, printing components for itself and for a small number of clients.
John Huster, President of Sofos Robotics, said: “As our business grew, we got to the point where we knew FDM wasn’t going to be able to produce the quantity of parts we needed fast enough. We started looking at other technologies and decided on the Farsoon Flight machine due to its speed and flexibility.”
Huster noted the size of the build volume, printing speed, and the open material/parameter platform, as key reasons for moving over to the Farsoon system. He also stated that the machine had a more cost-effective service package than other systems the company was looking at.
A case that was referred to when talking about the benefits of the new machine was the production of a custom ESD safe nylon guard. To be environmentally friendly, the company had to use an ESD safe material. Prior to adopting AM into its production process, Sofos would have made the guards from stainless steel and weld the two halves together.
“The clients wanted a new single piece solution to reduce the failure rate. Using the Farsoon Flight machine along with an ESD safe nylon material from BASF, we have been able to provide them with a structurally integrated solution at a lower cost and faster turnaround,” said Huster. “Before we had the Farsoon machine it would take one of our FDM machines 12 hours to print one guard. We are now able to print 12 guards plus a full set of accompanying brackets in the same amount of time.”
Huster said: “It’s nice to be able to control so many parameters such as: operating temperature, laser scan power, scanning distance, etc. The open platform allows us to assign different parameters to each part in the build and test multiple combinations to find the perfect recipe. A benefit of the machine to Sofos was the ability to add or take out parts while the machines are printing.
Sofos tested a number of BASF materials, such as PA11 ESD, TPU and PA6 Mineral filled materials, and plans to use more BASF materials in the future. Future projects that the company are using TPU with are custom suction cups and custom pendant controller guards.
“I got to work with the Sofos team on several materials including our PA11 ESD,” said Jeremy Vos, Business Development Manager of BASF Corp. “It was great to work with an agile team and help them quickly deploy customer solutions.”
Farsoon Technologies has been at IMTS 2022 in Chicago this week and is there until the end of the show on Saturday 17 September. The company has been displaying the BASF Ultrasint PA11 ESD and Ultrasint PA11 Black CF parts produced by the Flight technology.

ROME (AP) — Costly construction delays, a leadership vacancy linked to a volatile political climate and a lack of sponsors amid a spreading financial crisis has prompted International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach to acknowledge the “challenges” facing organizers of the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
With the IOC’s coordination commission visit to the Milan and Cortina venues postponed by three months to December because of national elections in Italy slated for later this month, it was left to Bach to handle matters during a visit with outgoing premier Mario Draghi before receiving an award from the Italian Olympic Committee.
“As always before Olympic Games, there are challenges — in particular light of this new emerging world order and the financial and economic crisis,” Bach said Friday.
“But we have overcome some challenges in the last couple of years,” Bach added, referring to games held in Tokyo and Beijing amid the coronavirus pandemic. “So I’m not too worried because we know about the enthusiasm, efficiency and the dedication of our Italian friends.”
In an era of increasing sensitivity about the cost of Olympics — and the typical overspends funded by taxpayers — Bach said one of the most expensive venue upgrades for 2026 would not be included in official Milano-Cortina budgets.
Italian authorities have set aside more than 80 million euros ($80 million) to renovate the historic sliding track in Cortina for bobsled, luge and skeleton races.
Bach explained “this would be a touristic and sport project which would go ahead anyway and regardless of the Olympic Winter Games.”
Bach also supported local authorities who are waiting until after the election to appoint a new CEO of the organizing committee after the departure of Vincenzo Novari — a move which has paralyzed construction and other plans, such as the recruitment of sponsors.
“The new CEO must have and should have the support of the new government,” Bach said. “It would not be advisable to appoint such a CEO right now, a couple of (weeks) before national elections.”
The 2026 Games will be the most widespread Olympics ever, with venues spread out over 22,000 square kilometers (nearly 10,000 square miles) across a vast swath of northern Italy — from the regions of Lombardy and Veneto to the provinces of Trento and Bolzano.
The 2026 organizers have followed the IOC’s plans for modern Olympics to cut costs and not build taxpayer-funded white elephant venues.
“Thanks to the new rules we were able to imagine a candidacy like Milan-Cortina,” 2026 committee coordinator Diana Bianchedi told Bach. “I promise to you we won’t let you down.”
SLIDING CENTER
There had been discussions of holding sliding at an existing venue just beyond Italy’s border in St. Moritz, Switzerland, or Innsbruck, Austria.
The IOC recently created a panel for cost cutting, which makes the move to keep sliding in Cortina surprising.
The $100 million sliding track built for the 2006 Turin Games — the last time Italy hosted the Winter Olympics — was dismantled in 2012 amid rising maintenance costs.
But Ivo Ferriani, the president of the International bobsled and skeleton federation — who was the general manager of the Turin track — pointed to a century of sliding history in Cortina.
The Cortina track was built in 1923 and the resort known as the “Queen” of the Italian Dolomites was home to bobsledding great Eugenio Monti, who won six Olympic medals between 1956 and 1968.
“There’s a tradition and (sliding) culture in Cortina,” Ferriani told The Associated Press. “The legacy isn’t about the venue; it’s about the people.”
Ferriani added that plans are already being made to host World Cup bobsled races at Cortina in 2026-27 followed by the world championships in 2027-28 — plus European Cup and Paralympic races.
“This will be the best venue (worldwide), because it will be completely accessible,” Ferriani said, adding that its proximity to other tracks in Austria, Switzerland and Germany makes it a natural fit for the circuit.
SPEEDSKATING QUESTIONS
Bach had little to say about debate over the plan to hold speedskating on an outdoor track in Baselga di Piné in the Trentino region.
The last time Olympic speedskating was held outdoors was for the 1992 Albertville Games, with the IOC having since preferred the controlled environment of indoor venues.
Outdoor ice is notoriously tough to keep in shape for all competitors to have a fair chance at a medal.
High temperatures made matters even worse in Albertville, where one recurring term was “slush,” with skaters ploughing through soft ice that sometimes had a thin sheet of water on top.
“I don’t have the chair of the coordination commission here with me,” Bach said. “What I can tell you is before coming here I did not get an alert that I would absolutely have to address something.”
Told that this was a topic better handled by Christophe Dubi, the executive director of the Olympic Games, Bach added, “I guess that consultations are going on.”
RETIREMENT
Bach’s 12 years as IOC president expires in 2025, a year before the Milan-Cortina Games.
“I am really looking very much forward to (2026), because by then I will be able to really enjoy the bella vita Italiana and Olympic sport to its fullest,” he told the crowd at CONI, “if you still invite me.”
___
RUSSIAN BAN
Bach was also asked about comments a day earlier by U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee chair Susanne Lyons, who said the IOC is discussing “whether there is a pathway” for the return of Russian and Belarussian athletes to international sports following the ban because of the invasion of Ukraine.
“It goes without saying that from the very first moment when we said we are in this dilemma, that we are looking for ways out of this dilemma,” Bach said. “But this is about it. I cannot report any concrete steps or a deadline.”
The longer Russian athletes stay banned from international competition, the more qualification events for the 2024 Paris Olympics will be missed.

Review car-camping
Homelessness is an issue in Salida and Chaffee County, but car-camping at $10 per night is apparently not the answer.
That’s what can be surmised from the report to Salida City Council regarding the summer car-camping setup – Safe Outdoor Spaces – at Centennial Park.
According to Corey Riggs of Bringing Everyone Together through the Crisis of Housing, the sponsoring entity, neighbors’ fears of noise, parties, drugs, etc., did not happen.
She told city officials six applications for overnight parking were received, and that just two inquiries were submitted by raft guides, one of whom was hired as a host.
During summer months, Ms. Riggs said alternative car-camping options typically had fewer restrictions, cost less and were not near potentially hostile neighbors. With shorter days and cooler fall weather she said she expects this scenario will change.
Ms. Riggs said BETCH spent $14,777 in total expenses, including $13,100 in wages, leaving a balance of $37,628 in funding. The city contributed $27,405 to the project and the organization received another $25,000 in grants.
With the fund balance, Ms. Riggs recommended keeping the program going year-round while also suggesting the city install cameras at the site, place tow-away zone signs, reduce oversight salaries, relax rules, provide less supervision, allow residents on Social Security and disability and lower the daily camping fee.
Because there apparently were minimal complaints and because the project could continue on with no additional funding, city officials could extend the project say through December and conduct another review at that time on whether or not to allow the program to go on into the new year.
If it does continue through fall, officials do need to consider BETCH recommendations, particularly those related to fees and who is allowed to camp at the site.
Statements fair game
Salida City Councilwoman Jane Templeton criticized a “local media outlet” – The Mountain Mail – at a recent meeting for publishing an editorial questioning statements of two council members.
Dominique Naccarato and Alisa Pappenfort said during council discussion that they favored appointing a less experienced woman to the city Planning Commission simply because she was a woman, ahead of a man who had significant experience elsewhere in Colorado.
What’s said at council meetings is fair game for comment, regardless of subsequent votes and decisions, because it reflects officials’ thinking on a particular issue, which can and often does come into play on future subjects and policies.
The editorial noted that the council did appoint Brian Colby to a regular seat on the commission and Laura Wancura Atwood as an alternate.
‘Pancakes’ on menu
After 46 years in business, the Edwards family has sold the Patio Pancake Place on U.S. 50 to the Fontana family, who own and operate Salida Ace Hardware.
The Fontanas in turn leased the restaurant to the Harris family – Andre, Vania and Jaiden – who will operate the business as Romeo’s Pancake.
A “Thank you!” to the Edwards family on their four decades-plus of service to the community and best wishes to the Harris family.
What’s important to longtime Patio customers is that pancakes – along with other breakfast and lunch fare – will continue on the menu.

Auto taxi unions demand welfare association for drivers’ benefit
Across Mumbai Metropolitan Region many vehicles are plying illegally. A special squad in each district will help keep a strict eye over such vehicles,” said Shashank Rao, president, Mumbai auto rickshaw and taximen’s union
Mumbai: Mumbai auto taximen’s union have put forth some additional demands for the welfare and benefit of the auto and taxi drivers in the city. While the government is contemplating the auto taxi fare hike, the union has requested another meeting to discuss the issues that are affecting their livelihood.
“As the daily passengers or the income earned daily for none of us have reached the pre-covid levels, there are certain demands if met we can be in better circumstances. This includes setting up a welfare association that will not only help provide pension and accident insurance but also a security cover of ₹10 lakh.
Across Mumbai Metropolitan Region many vehicles are plying illegally. A special squad in each district will help keep a strict eye over such vehicles,” said Shashank Rao, president, Mumbai auto rickshaw and taximen’s union.
Similarly, those who are unable to pay the EMI after purchasing their autos should be given some concession as many are still functioning under losses. “There are some agencies that call and threaten the drivers to pay at the earliest; some measures to avoid such situations must be taken. We have also put forth the demand for a 40% subsidy in CNG prices for public transport,” added Rao. After the fare hike issue is granted, the union will approach these additional demands.

Kirsty McLuckie: Squeeze in a city break
Over the last couple of decades, changes in the holiday lettings market have revolutionised the way we book accommodation away from home, but there are pitfalls.
Residents in tourist destinations decry the loss of community, and the noise and disruption caused by holidaymakers, in places where short-term rentals have saturated the market.
And there are woeful tales of scams, such as the owners of desirable homes who have travellers show up at their door after the address has been fraudulently posted on a booking platform. Would-be guests, who have paid, end up with nowhere to stay, while equally bewildered owners have to defend their innocence.
My own experience this week was not exactly a scam, but perhaps we have a case of misrepresentation.
An old friend from school had booked a week in Paris for her family and, when her husband couldn’t go, she invited me and my adult daughter to accompany her and her two adult children for a cultural and culinary trip.
Quelle chance, I thought. The flat she had chosen was in a great spot by the canal in the 10th Arrondissement, slept six and, although described as “cosy”, had two bedrooms and two sofa beds.
Not ideal for five adults travelling as singletons, but workable. I pored over the photos before we left and could see nothing amiss.
On arrival, we discovered what the word cosy meant. It was, in fact, a Parisian bedsit. This pied-à-terre was not big enough to swing un chat.
One double bed was behind a curtain in the lounge, the other necessitated a crawl up steep stairs above. On arrival on the bed, you couldn’t actually sit up as the head room wasn’t high enough.
There were two sofa beds in the main space, as described, but they were at right angles to each other in such a small area, so only one could be extended at a time.
Thankfully, we know each other well, and with an air of grin-and-bear-it, we sorted out the sleeping arrangements. The girls topped and tailed in one double bed, while my friend’s son was the only one lithe enough to brave the mezzanine.
My friend, Charlotte, who is much taller than me, took the big sofa bed and I slept on the unextended couch next to her... with my feet hanging off the end.
There were further indignities.
The shower room was only divided from the living space by a curtain, so we had to perform quiet ablutions within touching distance of the crowded dining table.
The adjacent loo was so small and had such a flimsy partition that sitting down on the seat risked hitting the door with your knees, causing it to swing open to display an unwelcome mise-en-scène to those enjoying their petit dejeuner.
And here lies the problem with holiday booking sites – unlike estate agents, there is no need to include a floor plan in the description.
Looking back at the original listing, there was no quantifiable size quoted. The square footage would have at least given rise to some hesitation before handing our money over.
And the photos, we now realise, were skillfully taken to disguise the cramped layout.
What’s French for caveat emptor?

Fortuna Entertainment Group (FEG) has confirmed the appointment of Victor Corcoran as new Chief Executive of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) omni-channel gambling business.
The move sees FEG conclude its nine-month search to find a leadership successor to Per Widerström who stood down as CEO of the business back in January, choosing to end his eight-year tenure as Chief Executive of the CEE gambling group.
Corcoran is the former CEO of Paddy Power Online (2018-2022) where he oversaw the Irish bookmaker’s technical integration with Betfair’s sports betting platform.
This summer, he announced that he had left Flutter Entertainment, choosing not to participate in the FTSE100 firm’s leadership reorganisation of its business units.
Corcoran commented via LinkedIn: “Excited to be joining the team at Fortuna Entertainment Group, one of the leading omni-channel betting and gaming businesses in the CEE region.
“The business has some really great people, strong brands, an extensive retail footprint, continues to significantly invest in technology and operates in some fast-growing markets with massive potential, it should definitely be an exciting journey.”
FEG confirmed that Corcoran had joined the business on 13 September, taking over the duties of David Vanek, the group’s General Manager who had served as Interim CEO since March.
FEG operates the biggest CEE retail betting network in operating the brands of Fortuna Entertainment (Czech Rep), Casa Pariurilor (Romania), Hattrick, and PSK Sports (Croatia).

PDSA: Helping our pets with coughs and colds
We all feel miserable when we catch a cold and we all need some rest and recupperation, but what about our pets and their care – What can we do to help them?
Catching a nasty cough is something that most of us won’t be a stranger to, but many aren’t aware that our four-legged friends can suffer from a similar respiratory infection.
PDSA Vet Nurse Nina Downing said: “Kennel cough is an infection of the airways that results in a dry hacking cough in dogs and can be caused by a number of different viruses and bacteria. It spreads through direct contact between dogs, as well as in the air and on surfaces (it can survive in the environment for several weeks), so is commonly, but not exclusively, found when a group of pooches are gathered in one space, such as in kennels or doggy day care.

Trevor Sinclair hits back at critics in bullish stand-off over Queen's death remarks
“Symptoms of kennel cough can sometimes take up to two weeks to develop and can last for up to three weeks. While most dogs will come down with a hacking cough but otherwise stay well, puppies, older dogs, and those with another illness might suffer from other symptoms such as reduced appetite, low energy, and a high temperature.”
Treating your poorly pooch
“Dogs with kennel cough will usually recover at home within one to three weeks, without medication. Exercise can make their cough much worse so it’s important to keep your pooch warm and rested, and give them plenty of fluids. Some dogs with kennel cough can benefit from sitting in a steamy room (perhaps while you have a shower or bath) to help relieve the congestion in their airways. Never leave your dog alone in a steamy room though, or force them to stay if they aren’t comfortable.
“If your furry friend has more severe symptoms, your vet may prescribe anti-inflammatory medication, which can reduce airway inflammation and bring down a high temperature. Antibiotics are rarely needed for kennel cough as many cases are caused by viruses (which don’t respond to antibiotics), but if your dog is very young, old or suffers from any other health conditions, your vet may prescribe them as an additional precaution.
“Keep your pooch away from other dogs and public spaces for two to three weeks as, even after their symptoms have cleared, they may still be contagious and can continue to spread the infection.
Preventing kennel cough
“The most effective way to prevent kennel cough is through vaccination, especially if your pooch spends lots of time around other furry friends. Protection from the vaccine lasts for around 12 months and significantly reduces the chance of your dog catching and spreading the infection.”

HAMILTON - The defensive formations and schemes in pro football are detailed and complicated but the ultimate goal for Dylan Wynn has never wavered.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive tackle’s main priority, game in and game out, revolves around being disruptive, getting to the quarterback and making his life miserable
“Isn’t that the story about football, though,” Wynn said with a smile. “That’s what we’ve been told since we were kids.
“That’s why I love my job so much. I get to directly affect that.”
So when Hamilton (3-9) hosts Winnipeg (12-1) on Saturday afternoon, Wynn and the Ticats’ defence will aim to get to Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros often and disrupt the defending Grey Cup champions’ offensive flow.
“Collaros is definitely an elite quarterback who’s been able to pull his team through a lot of stuff,” Wynn said. “It’s all that, isn’t it?”
Collaros and Co. have been very resilient this season.
Winnipeg has won five times by double-digit margins. Seven victories have come by seven or fewer points, with four being by two or less points.
Winnipeg’s lone loss of the year, a 20-17 decision to Montreal on Aug. 11, was in overtime. Kicker Marc Liegghio missed a 32-yard field goal that would’ve broken a 17-17 tie late in regulation, then again from 37 yards out in the extra session.
Collaros was the CFL’s outstanding player in 2021 and should be a contender for this year’s award. He leads the CFL in TD passes (career-high 26), boasts a 70.5 completion percentage and needs just 141 passing yards to eclipse his career season high (3,376 in 2015 with Hamilton).
But most importantly, Collaros has won 12 of his 13 starts thus far.
Winnipeg defeated Hamilton 26-12 on June 24 at IG Field in their first meeting of the year. In that game, Willie Jefferson’s 30-yard pick-six in the fourth quarter staked the Bombers to a 25-9 advantage and cemented the victory.
Collaros finished 21-of-32 passing for 302 yards with an interception in that contest. Hamilton recorded four sacks but Wynn said there are no moral victories in pro football.
“Week in and week out, our personal reflection on how our season has gone is any team can beat any team any week in the CFL,” he said. “The step between what’s perceived as doing great and perceived as not so great is very thin.
“We know we have a defensive line that’s dangerous, we like our front and I love our defence in the back end to. We can be dangerous when we’re clicking on all cylinders.”
Winnipeg has already clinched a post-season berth — the first CFL team to do so. The Bombers can cement a home playoff game with a win Saturday and Calgary loss to B.C. on Saturday evening.
The West Division leaders certainly have history on their side. Winnipeg is 5-1 versus East Division rivals and 7-0 on the road this season.
Hamilton comes in having lost three straight and is tied for third in the East with Ottawa (3-9). Amazingly, though, both the Redblacks and Ticats remain in playoff contention, just four points behind second-place Montreal (5-7).
First-place Toronto (7-5), Montreal and Ottawa are all idle this week.
“They’re all must wins,” Wynn said. “We’re past Labour Day in the CFL and every team knows what that means.
“These wins mean a little extra and the losses hurt a little more. We’ve got to buckle down and get hot at the right time.”
The good news for Hamilton is veteran quarterback Dane Evans (right shoulder) returns and will start against Winnipeg. With both Evans and backup Matt Shiltz (wrist) out, rookie Jamie Newman was forced to make his first CFL start in the Ticats’ 28-8 Labour Day loss to Toronto.
Evans, 28, has completed 207-of-309 passes (67 per cent) for 2,473 yards but has more interceptions (CFL-most 13) than touchdowns (10). He has also fumbled seven times, losing six, both league highs, and lost seven-of-nine starts.
Hamilton is averaging just 19.8 offensive points per game (second-last overall) and has scored just 20 offensive TDs (tied for last). The Ticats also lead the league in turnovers made (41), fumbles lost (12) and interceptions (17).
Winnipeg’s defence leads the CFL in fewest offensive points allowed (18.6 per game) and offensive touchdowns (18). The unit is also tied with Hamilton for fewest offensive yards allowed (331).
“They’re big, they’re tall and they’re fast,” Evans said. “Everyone knows their D-line is one of the best in the league, especially their ends (Jefferson and Jackson Jeffcoat).
“Their linebackers are also very solid, so is their back end. They’re a great defence.”
Hamilton and Winnipeg have met in the last two Grey Cup games, which the Bombers have won. Evans has been the Ticats’ starter in each contest and said he enjoys competing against the Blue Bombers.
“The biggest thing I like about these guys is they make you play,” Evans said. “You’re not going to get free ones on them and as a competitor I love that.
“I love going against these guys.”

Company discontinues nicotine gummies after FDA warning
(CNN) - A company that made illegal flavored nicotine gummies has discontinued the item following a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA sent a letter last month to VPR Brands, the name behind Krave Nic, warning the company was not authorized to make, sell or distribute such products.
The agency said the gummies were particularly concerning because they resemble kid-friendly candy products and they can cause severe nicotine toxicity or even death in young children.
The gummies contained one milligram of nicotine and came in three different flavors, such as “blue razz” and “cherry bomb.”
Krave said the tobacco-free products were meant for adults.
The FDA said such gummies are “a public health crisis just waiting to happen among our nation’s youth.”

Catalans Dragons have appointed former Scottish rugby union player Neil McIlroy as sporting director.
McIlroy, 54, has been working in France for two decades at Top14 club Clermont Auvergne, where he left last year.
He is now switching codes and taking up a role in Catalans’ staff from the start of next month, working alongside head coach Steve McNamara and general manager Alex Chan.
Catalans, who were beaten last week in the first round of the play-offs, say that his role will include supervising the rugby department and their player development system.
Dragons owner Bernard Guasch said: “The season we had won’t affect our ambitions. We still want and we still have to improve to achieve our goals, which are winning titles.
“Neil McIlroy helped Clermont to establish as one of the biggest Top 14 clubs. He arrives to bring us his experience and expertise of the professionalism, in particular in the development of young players.”
Catalans head coach Steve McNamara added: “The club’s decision to appoint Neil is one of the best we have made in recent times.
“His world class experience and success at a huge organisation like ASM Clermont, both in the sports and administration departments, will be a huge asset for us.
“He is exactly the type of appointment we have been looking for to help continue the growth of our whole club.”
McIlroy said: “I believe that they can give me what I need at this point in my career and that I can help with the organisation, development and structure at the club.”

Introduced to attendees at the thINK Ahead 2022 Conference in Boca Raton, FL
MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inkjet printing is faster, more flexible, and more colorful than ever before, opening up new opportunities for designers who work with print and even designers who didn't think that print had a place in their world. With the ability to change every color and every image to cater to an audience of one while embedding off-ramps to online content or augmented reality, design possibilities are endless. With this in mind, Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., and thINK, an independent community of Canon Solutions America production print customers, are pleased to announce Designers Guide to a New Generation Inkjet, authored by inkjet design experts, Elizabeth Gooding and Mary Schilling.
This third edition of the Designer's Guide series provides relevant information for agency and in-house designers looking to optimize their work for production. The guide is also intended to help designers understand and embrace the creative potential of the latest generation of inkjet presses by making readers aware of where inkjet fits in the overall print design ecosystem and how its unique characteristics open up a range of opportunities to make designs more flexible, colorful, and impactful. Schilling notes, "This version of the guide expands on available media, color capabilities and finishing, to highlight the latest inkjet capabilities. Since many designers are now familiar with the inkjet basics, we have elaborated on the best-practices design workflow for working with inkjet presses." The restructured guide is organized by design tasks and will direct readers on how to deliver results in print segments like direct mail, publishing, marketing communications, and customer care.
"One major differentiator of inkjet production is cost-effective personalization and versioning," says Gooding. "In the latest version, we have emphasized the project planning process and opportunities to drive value with designs that run exclusively on an inkjet press, or a combination of inkjet and other processes." Due to the increased speed of the latest inkjet presses, the guide drives home the importance of design efficiency enabled through an understanding of the connection between media, press, and the specific capabilities of one's print provider. Readers will have useful information about inks, media, color gamut values, image formats, finishing, inkjet design principles and best practices, as well as several downloadable tools at their fingertips.
"It is our priority to educate our customers on the creative potential of the latest generation of inkjet presses. Canon's inkjet presses have not only raised but redefined the bar for print quality and flexibility with media capabilities. Now it's time to raise the bar on print design," said Francis McMahon, executive vice president, Production Print Solutions, Canon Solutions America. "Regardless of if you are new to inkjet or are a veteran inkjet user, we encourage you to explore the Designers Guide to a New Generation of Inkjet to learn more about how to create and deliver best-of-the-best designs for marketing communications and graphic arts projects."

Chris Powell, I like your articles a lot, but the article on bears, bobcats, and rattlers left me cold.
You do realize that there are more two-legged predators doing more harm than any creature great or small?
And, how many alien immigrants should “we” accommodate who are exhausting our resources? The irresponsible, over-populated human race is destroying life on earth.

Harry Styles, not spitting on Florence Pugh in the much-yapped about 'Don't Worry Darling.' (Warner Bros.)
As anyone who's spent time on the internet over the past few months could tell you, the publicity for Don't Worry Darling has been ... eventful. So far the headlines have revolved around rifts, leaked emails, possible affairs, custody battles, #spitgate and—my personal favorite—revenge aperol spritzes. In other words: everything other than the actual movie.
When there's this much drama and noise around a new movie, it usually means one thing and one thing only: It sucks. Which is why I'm here, fresh from a preview, to report back about all the crucial details.
Here is everything you need to know about Don't Worry Darling.
What's it about?
The tale revolves around Alice Chambers (Florence Pugh) and her husband, Jack (Harry Styles). The saucy young married couple live in a beautiful but isolated community where all the husbands work for the mysterious Victory Project, and all the wives stay home and keep things looking pretty. When one of the wives starts behaving erratically, Alice suspects all might not be as perfect as it seems. She goes on a hunt for the truth that may ultimately destroy her cozy existence.
Who is this for?
Anyone who doesn't mind leaving the theater feeling three times uglier than when they sat down. Don't Worry Darling is aesthetically very beautiful throughout, awash with things (and people) that are perfectly symmetrical, and constantly taunting us with scenes that involve entire walls of mirrors.
Sponsored
If it wasn't for the presence of Normal Looking Human Nick Kroll, Jonah from Veep (Timothy Simons), and a scene at the end where Harry Styles looks gross (no, I don't know how they did it either), I'd say DWD should come with a warning. "The following contains unfeasibly high levels of unattainable beauty. Viewer discretion is advised."
Is it a bad movie?
No. It really isn't, I swear. But boy howdy, does this thing need an edit. It could have been so great with an edit!
At its core, Don't Worry Darling is quite clever. It's also not as predictable as I had expected; the suspense at the end, in particular, is wonderful. But somebody needed to rein this thing in. Plot points are made repeatedly and to the detriment of pace. Weird things happen to enhance mood that create plot holes. (That weird earthquake-like rumbling you see in the trailer? Don't expect an explanation for that, nor for a bunch of other trippy things Alice experiences.) At one point, two characters disappear and we never, ever find out what happened to them.
Most perplexing of all, there is a Big Party Scene towards the end of the movie whose only purpose is to loudly repeat everything we've already learned, just in a different aesthetically pleasing sort of way. The scene's reasons for still being in the movie are, quite transparently:
Dita Von Teese doing a thing in it
A big band (with a really unsubtle name) doing a thing in it
Harry Styles doing an utterly inexplicable tap dance in it
If Wilde wanted to keep this scene so badly, she should've cut out a few reveals in the run up to it.
Why did Harry Styles wear that shirt at the Venice Film Festival premiere?
The answer is as inexplicable as his on-screen tap dancing. Maybe he was giving his girlfriend an excuse to not stand next to him? Maybe it was a cry for help? It's best that we all just scrub our eyeballs and try to move on with our lives.
Is the acting any good?
Yes. Across the board. And it's particularly great when it comes to the two leads. This being a movie that revolves around a shallow, pleasure-driven life full of shallow, pleasure-driven people means there are few opportunities early on for the actors to dig their teeth in. But as soon as the cracks start to show in the Victory community, almost everyone here is given space to shine.
Styles is a revelation, successfully managing to make you forget he's actually famous for doing something else. And Pugh works her ass off to give Alice depth and character, even when the material reduces her to little more than Happy Housewife Who Likes Doin' It On Tables. In the end, Pugh makes Alice someone to genuinely root for.
Did Olivia Wilde's relationship with Harry Styles affect the movie?
How in the ever-loving LaBeouf should I know? This should be fairly obvious (Twitter tells me it's not), but the only people who know what went down on that movie set are the people who worked on that movie set. Which, sure, did include Shia "LOOK AT THESE EMAILS" LaBeouf for a while. But does anyone really want to side with that guy after the whole FKA Twigs thing? No, thank you.
Frankly, probably the only reason so many theories have been floating around about this is because the internet needed a new famous woman to bully post-Amber Heard, and it landed on Olivia Wilde as The Chosen One. The Twitter pile-on has been hard to watch.
Is it worth seeing in the theater?
Depends how patient you are. If gorgeous aesthetics, beautiful people, a fantastic soundtrack and a decent ending are enough for you, by all means go. If you want to watch Olivia Wilde chainsmoke gratuitously or Chris Pine be quietly sinister, book those tickets, baby.
Sponsored
But if you don't want to wade through weird pacing, a few plot holes and some fairly unsubtle symbolism? Wait for it to hit streaming, darling.

Cost-of-living crisis: West Devon wages rise by less than 8% as inflation soars
Average wages in West Devon have risen by less than 8% as the cost of living crisis begins to bite and real wages continue to fall across the UK, new figures show.Subscribe newsletter
Average wages in West Devon have risen by less than 8% as the cost of living crisis begins to bite and real wages continue to fall across the UK, new figures show.
The Trade Union Congress said the new Prime Minister Liz Truss "must get pay rising" ahead of a difficult winter with many households worried how they will make ends meet.
The latest ONS figures show median pay in West Devon was £1,875 per month in August – up from £1,750 a year before.
It means wages have risen by 7.1% in the last 12 months, just as the cost-of-living crisis has begun.
Nationally, the median monthly wages have risen by 6.5% in the last year to £2,111 in August, but this still represents a real-terms pay cut thanks to soaring inflation.
Further ONS figures show real-terms pay excluding bonuses – taking inflation into account – fell by 2.8% year on year between May and July across the country, among the largest drop seen since records began in 2011.
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Every worker deserves a decent standard of living, and as the cost-of-living crisis intensifies, millions of families don’t know how they will make ends meet this winter."
Ms O'Grady urged Mrs Truss to increase pay packets, including boosting the minimum wage, giving public sector workers a decent pay rise, and allowing unions to negotiate better compensation for working people.
Greg Thwaites, research director of think tank Resolution Foundation, said the only "chink of light" is the slight fall in inflation – which is still close to a 40-year high but eased slightly to 9.9% in August from 10.1% the month before.
It means pay packets might not shrink any faster, though they will not grow in the next year, he said.
Unemployment among 16 to 64-year-olds also continued to fall nationally year on year, reaching its lowest point since 1974 at 3.7% in the three months to July, separate ONS statistics outline.
In the South West, it stood at 2.8% – down from 3.4% the year before and the lowest in the country alongside the East Midlands.
Despite the fall in unemployment, economic inactivity rose to 21.7% across the country – it was at 19.5% in the South West.
Mr Thwaites said: "Instead of the cost-of-living crisis tempting people back into work, more people are exiting the jobs market altogether, primarily due to poor health reasons".
The Treasury declined to comment due to the period of national mourning.

By Muyid Deen Suleman
Suame (Ash), Sept. 16, GNA – The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Foundation has sponsored 505 trainee artisans to acquire certificates in various trades from the National Training and Vocational Institute (NVTI).
The project falls under GNPC’s Skilled Artisan Project (SAP), a livelihood empowerment programme to support young Ghanaians to acquire artisanal/vocational skills.
It is being implemented in partnership with the ASEDA Foundation, a community-based organisation.
The beneficiary artisans from Bekwai, Mampong, Offinso and Kumasi, soon to graduate, had their competencies tested this week.
Under the domestic module, they were tested in cookery, bakery, dressmaking, tailoring, hairdressing, make-up, and interior designing.
Others were tested on plumbing, carpentry, auto-mechanics, general electrical, and aluminium fabrication under the technical module.
Dr Dominic Eduah, the Executive Director, GNPC Foundation, during a visit to the Kumasi Vocational Training Institute, said the NVTI certification was necessary to boost the trainees’ employability and credibility.
He said SAP was designed to support the youth across the country with technical and vocational skills to perform to the best standards.
The project targets five regions including Western, Central, Greater Accra, Eastern and Ashanti to impact the lives of some 2,050 artisans.
Some of the beneficiaries, who spoke to the Ghana News Agency, expressed appreciation to the Foundation for facilitating their acquisition of the NVTI certificates.

Lake Harriet Bandshell to be painted a new color if petitioners get their way
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A few hundred people have signed a petition asking the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to restore the Lake Harriet Bandshell back to its original blue-gray color.
The bandshell, which is now tan, is undergoing renovations in the coming months. The Change.org petition, started by Steve Brandt, a member of the Minneapolis Board of Estimate and Taxation, says the popular blue-gray color was replaced with an "unfortunate mud brown with little public input when the bandshell was repainted in 2004."
Brandt and others are hoping the Park Board will repaint it to the color it was when it was completed in 1986, saying "It's time to restore the original color, which echoes the surrounding sky and lake."
Brandt even wrote a post in Southwest Community Voices in support of the bandshell's color change. On Twitter, Brandt acknowledged this isn't "the most pressing issue" in Minneapolis right now, but it's "time to right a wrong."
As of 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 16, the petition had garnered 398 signatures since being launched a week ago.
According to the Park Board's website, work on the bandshell and nearby pavilion is in the pre-design phase. The main focus of the work on the bandshell will entail replacing the cedar wood shingles on the roof of the bandshell and adjacent concessions building. The shingles are more than 30 years old, and high winds in the spring "exacerbated damage to the roof," the website notes, adding the Park Board fielded a lot of questions and concerns about the fate and safety of the bandshell area.
Other work could include upgrades to lighting, electrical and restrooms, as well as adding a bird-safe coating to bandshell windows and replacing doors and door frames.
FOX 9 has reached out to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board for comment, and to see if painting the bandshell would be considered. We'll update this story when we hear back.

Mexico City (CNN)Mexico has arrested retired army general José Rodríguez Pérez in relation to the bloody disappearance of 43 students in the city of Iguala, nearly eight years ago.
Deputy secretary of security Ricardo Mejía announced the news on Thursday, referring to Rodríguez only as “the commander of the 27th Infantry Battalion when the events in Iguala occurred.” He did not specify any allegations against Rodríguez. A Secretariat of Government’s spokesperson confirmed to CNN that Rodríguez Pérez has retired with the rank of general.
CNN is working to contact Rodríguez’s defense.
Mejía said that a total of four arrest warrants had been issued against unidentified members of the Mexican army. Three of the four have been arrested, he said.
Mexico’s Secretary of Defense did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
The missing students were intercepted by local police and federal military forces on September 26, 2014, while traveling toward Mexico City from their teacher’s college near the town Ayotzinapa.
They had intended to commemorate the anniversary of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre, where government forces killed as many as 300 student demonstrators in Mexico City. But they never made it.
The bullet-riddled buses were later seen in the streets of Iguala, and some remaining students who were on the buses accused security forces of opening fire. But forty-three of their peers were never found again.
On August 18, a truth commission established by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador released a bombshell report concluding that the vanished students were victims of “state-sponsored crime,” alleging that agents from several government agencies concurred with elements of organized crime to commit the killings. According to the report, at least six of those victims were first abducted and later killed under Rodríguez’s oversight.
“It is presumed that six of the students remained alive for four days after the events and that they were killed and disappeared on the orders of the presumably then-Colonel José Rodríguez Pérez,” said Mexico’s top human rights official Alejandro Encinas during the August press conference alongside Lopez Obrador.
The report, Encinas added, alleges that on September 30, 2014, Rodríguez said that “they had already taken care of the six students that were left alive.”

Certificate pinning
Cloudflare does not support HTTP public key pinning (HPKP)1 for Universal, Advanced, or Custom Hostname certificates.
This is because Cloudflare regularly changes the edge certificates provisioned for your domain and - if you had HPKP enabled - your domain would go offline. Additionally, industry experts discourage using HPKP.
For a better solution to the problem that HPKP is trying to solve - preventing certificate misissuance - use Certificate Transparency Monitoring. Key pinning allows a host to instruct a browser to only accept certain public keys when communicating with it for a given period of time. ↩︎

Julie Hoover, a former teacher at Point of Grace Christian School in Florida has been accused of inappropriate behavior for a second time as she was arrested for twerking on a male student at a high school prom.
Hoover was previously arrested in June on a count of 'teacher engaging in s*x' with an 18-year old senior student after exchanging explicit messages.
The most recent charge has come to light when another student accused Hoover of lewd conduct at a high school prom in April, when she reportedly "twerked on him and pressurized him to have alcohol".
The student also stated that he became uncomfortable as soon as Hoover started showing inappropriate behavior. According to WCTV, other students reportedly had tried stopping Hoover.
For those who do not know, twerking means a “s*xually suggestive dancing characterized by rapid, repeated hip thrusts and shaking of the b*ttocks especially while squatting”, as defined by Merriam-Webster.
Ex-teacher Julie Hoover inappropriately twerked against a high school student at a prom
According to court documents via the New York Post, the plaintiff's mother had also reported that Hoover was arranging to make the student visit her home while her husband was at work.
It is not known whether the student who was involved in exchanging explicit messages with Julie Hoover back in June is the same student who accused her of twerking.
As per Law and Crime, the court affidavit states:
“While speaking to [the victim] he advised that while at Prom on April 8th 2022, Julie Hoover put an alcoholic drink into his mouth (straw), and she was pressuring him to drink alcohol. [The victim] advised it occurred multiple times during the evening, and at the time of the incident he was 17 years of age. [The victim] advised that while at prom each time he got onto or even near the dance floor, Julie Hoover came over to the area he was dancing and began ‘Twerking’ [sic] on him rubbing her rear end on him.”
The documents further revealed how the plaintiff told Hoover that her behavior made him "uncomfortable." He also revealed that there were many witnesses that saw Julie Hoover's behavior that night.
"[The victim] advised that this made him uncomfortable and he left the dance floor each time she did this. [The victim] stated that there were several people that did witness Julie Hoovers behavior as well as her attempts to give him alcoholic drinks. [The victim] swore to his statements."
Further information on the case
Brian Cruse, the Sheriff's Office investigator, spoke to three witnesses who were present in the school premises on that very prom night.
First witness, school administrator Randy Maubach noted that the alcohol was "not brought out before the prom." Randy reportedly advised the teachers to pour the alcohol into cups after the students left.
Allison Towles, the second witness, had reportedly informed the authorities of Hoover's inappropriate behavior. The court documents mentioned:
“[Towles] also witnessed Mrs Hoover dancing on [the victim] and rubbing her b*ttocks on [the victim’s] front pants area of his crotch... She advised she got in between them several time [sic] attempting to get Mrs Hoover to stop.”
Eli Dorman, the third witness, reported to the authorities that she saw Hoover trying to make the victim drink alcohol with a straw. The documents noted:
"He advised that Julie was ‘Twerking’ on [the victim] several times and that [the victim] attempted to get away from her each time she was doing that."
A school official from Point Grace School has mentioned that Julie Hoover is no longer a part of the institution.
No news on the trial date has been reported as of date.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Foreign Minister of flood-struck Pakistan on Friday, 16 September, said that they "have not sought help from India." Massive floods in Pakistan have resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,300 people and over 5 lakh people being displaced.
Bhutto said this while he was at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan.
This comes after several reports surfaced earlier this month claiming that India is reportedly looking at options to offer humanitarian assistance to Pakistan.
On 29 August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent his condolences to the people affected due to the floods in Pakistan.
"Saddened to see the devastation caused by the floods in Pakistan. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, the injured and all those affected by this natural calamity and hope for an early restoration of normalcy," Modi said.
The tweet did not reveal any information about the aid which India has sent, or is planning to send to Pakistan.
"I thank PM Narendra Modi for condolences over the human & material losses caused by floods. With their characteristic resilience the people of 🇵🇰 shall, InshaAllah, overcome the adverse effects of this natural calamity & rebuild their lives and communities," Sharif said.
In a press conference on 29 August, Pakistani Finance Minister Miftah Ismail said that the government could consider "importing vegetables and other edible items from India,” The Dawn reported.
“We will open duty-free import, make it easier and I also want to say that we will consider importing through the land border with India because these prices (of vegetables) are not sustainable,” he said.
A week later, a report by Business Standard, citing multiple officials and sources involved in the distribution, said that India is fully prepared to send bilateral relief and aid material to flood-ravaged Pakistan as soon as it receives the green signal from Islamabad. It further added that talks between both nations on the subject have petered out after India signalled its willingness to help earlier last week.

BERLIN (AP) — German customs officials say a trail of slime led them to a stash of almost 100 giant African land snails and other items hidden inside bags at Duesseldorf Airport this month.
In a statement Friday, authorities said officials stumbled over one of the snails on a baggage truck and initially thought it was a toy until it started moving. By following the trail left by the 20-centimeter (8-inch) snail, they found a bag with a hole, with another snail already peeping out of it — possibly preparing a dash for freedom.
In total, officials found six bags containing 93 giant snails, 28 kilograms (62 pounds) of fish and smoked meat, and a suitcase full of rotting meat. All had been imported from Nigeria and were destined for an African goods store in western Germany.
The snails were handed to an animal rescue service in Duesseldorf and the meat was destroyed, customs officials said.
“Never in the history of the Duesseldorf customs office has a trail of slime led us to smuggled goods,” said its spokesman Michael Walk.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday many Ukrainians were buried at various sites in the newly-recaptured northeast including whole families and people who were tortured, likening the aftermath to Russia's withdrawal from near Kyiv months ago.
In an interview at his presidential office, he told Reuters an investigation was underway with international assistance and that there was evidence of Russian war crimes in those areas.

The timing of it all hardly could be more symbolic: Within a span of two weeks, Serena Williams plays what is believed to be her last match at age 40, Roger Federer announces he’ll be retiring at 41, Iga Swiatek wins her third Grand Slam title at 21, and Carlos Alcaraz gets his first at 19.
After so much handwringing in recent years about what would become of tennis once transcendent superstars such as Williams and Federer leave the game — he told the world Thursday he will exit after the Laver Cup next week; she made her plans public last month, then lost in the third round of the U.S. Open on Sept. 2 — the sport does seem to be in good hands as it prepares to move on.
“They helped mold tennis into what it is today. We will miss them,” Nick Bollettieri, a Hall of Fame coach, said about Federer and Williams.
“Having these youngsters being No. 1,” said Bollettieri, who worked with the Williams sisters, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Monica Seles and Maria Sharapova, among others, “is going to make a big difference for the tours.”
First of all, let’s not forget: Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are still around — even if injuries, in Nadal’s case, and vaccination status, in Djokovic’s case, have limited their ability to compete at their best or always. They combined to win three of the year’s four Grand Slam titles, boosting Nadal’s total to 22, the most for a man, and Djokovic’s to 21.
Williams has 23, and Federer 20, and both have dozens of other trophies, Olympic medals, hundreds of weeks at No. 1 in the rankings, and so on.
They are standard-bearers not merely because of such statistics.
Williams became a celebrity as much as a record-breaking athlete and someone who helped expand the sport’s audience while inspiring plenty of kids to take up tennis. She paid tribute to Federer on her Instagram account, saying “Welcome to the retirement club.”
Federer became a widely respected ambassador of the game, attracting fans and new players from around the globe, too.
Now some of those fresh faces are prepared to step into the space that will open up for new champions, new prime-time slots on TV, new sponsorship deals, new interest.
One never knows how things will go in sports, of course, or what might happen in terms of injuries, say, or other potential roadblocks to a long and distinguished career, but Swiatek and Alcaraz sure do appear to be set up for success.
From their athleticism and shot-making, to their on- and off-court demeanors, to the teams that surround them — both work with a sports psychologist, for example — they are preternaturally mature.
Swiatek, No. 1 since Ash Barty’s retirement six months ago, is the first woman to win two Grand Slam titles in a single season since 2016.
Alcaraz, No. 1 since Monday, is the youngest man to occupy that spot since the computerized rankings began in 1973. He’s also the first teenager to win the U.S. Open men’s championship since Pete Sampras in 1990 and to win any men’s major since Nadal at the 2005 French Open.
Both turned to Twitter to remark on Federer’s impending departure.
Swiatek’s message, in part: “I want to thank you for everything you’ve done and everything you are for our sport. It’s been a privilege to witness your career.”
Alcaraz’s, in part: “Roger has been one of my idols and a source of inspiration! Thank you for everything you have done for our sport!”
Because of his age — born two months before Federer’s first Grand Slam title and two years before Nadal’s first — Alcaraz grew up admiring both of those giants of the game.
Similarly, Swiatek was 2 when Federer’s initial Slam arrived, 4 when Nadal’s did. She was yet to be born when Williams captured her first major trophy at the 1999 U.S. Open.
Swiatek and Alcaraz learned tennis, learned what it takes to be champions, learned what success beyond the lines looks like, during as golden an era as their sport ever enjoyed.
With those two at the forefront, and plenty of other talent around — Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff, Frances Tiafoe and Jannik Sinner, Casper Ruud and Ons Jabeur and so on — tennis just might be able to survive. Thrive? Could be.
“Roger certainly had the era of Novak and Rafa, two of the most incredible athletes and tennis players ever. That’s what people know today. But there were other rivalries with Roger before them. And together, they understood, all of them, the importance of growing the game,” said Tony Godsick, Federer’s longtime agent. “Tennis is in such a good place. You look at this young kid, Alcaraz — he is coming. And there are other ones behind him. So tennis is in for a nice little pop here.”

Flights canceled to turn skies silent for Queen's funeral
Video above: Who is and who is not attending the Queen’s funeral
Flights to and from London's Heathrow Airport on the day of the Queen's funeral are being canceled or re-timed "as a mark of respect" to the late monarch.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the U.K.'s busiest airport confirmed that it would be making "appropriate changes" to operations "in order to avoid noise disruption" during Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral at Westminster Abbey and the Committal Service at Windsor Castle on Monday.
U.K.'s national carrier British Airways has already canceled 50 flights short-haul on Monday, while Virgin Atlantic has canceled four U.S. flights to and from Heathrow Airport.
The operational changes, likely to impact thousands of passengers, have been put in place to ensure "quiet skies" during specific times during the day, and will affect about 15% of Heathrow's schedule.
There will be no aircraft movement at the airport for 30 minutes from 11:40 a.m. and 12:10 p.m (GMT) to ensure that there is no disruption during a two-minute silence at the end of the funeral is not disrupted.
'Quiet skies'
Arrivals to Heathrow will also be halted from 1:45 p.m. and 2:20 p.m. "to ensure silence during the ceremonial procession" (GMT,) and there are to be no departures for one hour and 40 minutes from 3:05 p.m. (GMT) as the ceremonial procession approaches Windsor Castle for the interment.
Meanwhile, departures are to be "reduced" from 4:45 p.m. to 9 p.m. during the committal service at St George's Chapel.
"In order to observe these moments on Monday, airlines will need to adjust their schedules accordingly, which will mean some changes to flights," reads a statement from Heathrow.

"Passengers affected by these changes will be contacted directly by their airlines about their travel plans and the options available to them."
Flights will also be diverted around Windsor Castle, located around 12 miles from Heathrow, on the day "to minimize noise during the private family service and interment."
Meanwhile, Virgin Atlantic has stressed that while "the vast majority" of flights are scheduled to operate as normal, there will be some adjustments to "accommodate restrictions" during the state funeral and committal ceremony.
A number of shops at Heathrow Airport will also be shutting their doors on Monday, which has been declared a public holiday in the U.K.
"As a mark of respect for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her State Funeral, we have reduced our schedule and re-timed some flights at Heathrow to ensure the skies are quiet at certain moments on Monday September 19th," reads a statement from British Airways.

"Our thoughts remain with the Royal Family and the nation."
CNN has contacted Heathrow Airport for further comment.

Stitch Fix, Inc. (SFIX - Free Report) is expected to register a decrease in both its top and bottom line from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure when it releases fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 earningson Sep 20, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues currently stands at $489 million, suggesting a fall of 14.3% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s tally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth quarter’s loss is pegged at 60 cents. The year-earlier fiscal quarter delivered earnings per share of 19 cents. The consensus estimate has been stable over the past 30 days.
A glimpse of this online personal-styling service provider’s performance shows that it delivered an earnings surprise of 73.5% in the trailing four quarters, on average.
Factors at Play
Stitch Fix’s quarterly performance might have been hurt by a tough macroeconomic environment, including headwinds like supply-chain issues, global inflationary pressures and potential shifts in customer demand. Any deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses might have affected SFIX’s bottom line in the fiscal fourth quarter. In addition, elevated investments toward the Freestyle drive and new channels are concerning.
On its last earnings call, management had projected net revenues of $485-$495 million for the fiscal fourth quarter, indicating a decline of 13-15% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure. Stitch Fix anticipated adjusted EBITDA between a negative $25 million and a negative $30 million, with a margin contraction of 5-6%.
However, Stitch Fix has been expanding its digital capabilities and personalized shopping for a while to offer clients the best-in-class service. SFIX’s Freestyle drive offering quite a distinct shopping experience is encouraging. This platform allows customers to discover and buy curated items according to their style, preferences, fit and size.
What Does the Zacks Model Say?
Our proven model does not conclusively predict a beat for Stitch Fix this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here as elaborated below. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

PLAY has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 9.3%, on average.

The week, according to Welcoming and Belonging Director Elizabeth Rodriguez, is meant to unite the community.
"We have organizations and communities working together to bring neighbors of all backgrounds to build stronger connections and affirm the importance of welcoming and belonging in all areas of the community," Elizabeth said.
Ten days of activities kicked off Sept. 9 with an open house featuring Good Neighbor Community Health Center and the East-Central District Health Department. Sept. 10, Centro Hispano organized a voting marathon to remind the community to vote.

"We have, as a growing community, newcomers coming in and they're coming from all different parts of the nation, parts of the world and it's important for us as a community to be able to share that welcoming feeling," Elizabeth said.
To help create that sense of belonging, Sept. 11, Centro Hispano featured stories of people who have made an impact in the community, and on Sept. 13, held an artistic activity to make items for home decorations at Artzy Haven.
"[It's] not just welcoming them to the community but actually having them feel like they belong here in Columbus, that this is their home, this is their place," Elizabeth added.
To help create more of a sense of involvement and investment, Sept. 14 and 15 were dedicated to educating people on buying a home and getting involved with Girl Scout Troop 85116, respectively.
Stephanie Rodriguez, mortgage loan officer at Great Plains State Bank and a board member at Centro Hispano, said the event also acts as a way to show that there are businesses in the area who want to make others feel like they belong. Fittingly, the week falls during Hispanic Heritage Month.
"It is also Hispanic Heritage Month so it is just a time for them to go around to local businesses and professionals in town that are willing to give back to the community with any sort of classes or resources and just kind of shine light on those areas," Stephanie said.
Festivities will conclude Sept. 16 at Cork and Barrel, where Mayor Jim Bulkley will make an official proclamation marking Sept. 9-18 as Welcoming Week in Columbus.
"I think it’s important because we do have a group of minorities within Columbus and we are seeing a growth in that number of minorities, especially the Latino community," Stephanie said.
Stephanie and Elizabeth both said they are looking forward to the soft close of the week, "We the Gente," a day dedicated to recognizing new citizens.
Elizabeth said she appreciates the event because her husband became a naturalized citizen with help from Centro Hispano. Stephanie said the proclamation and recognition cap off the week and acknowledge everyone's hard work.
"They're a non-profit organization and they do receive a lot of proceeds to help these individuals become citizens and it's nice to be able to see that final product," Stephanie said.

Jake Paul sparks Twitter feud between KSI and Tyron Woodley after calling on ex-UFC champ to fight YouTuber in January
JAKE PAUL has sparked a Twitter feud between KSI and Tyron Woodley after calling on the pair to fight in January.
KSI, who returned with two wins in ONE NIGHT in August, ran an online poll to ask fans who he should face next.
And Woodley, who twice lost to Paul, beat three others in the vote.
Paul asked his former opponent: "You down to do this in January in the US? 180 pounds?"
To which Woodley, 40, claimed he was ready to fight right now.
KSI, 29, responded: "Jake Paul really got you on a leash…"
The YouTuber was set to return against Alex Wassabi, 32, but the American pulled out amid a concussion scare.
Woodley offered to step in on late notice, but instead KSI fought rapper Swarmz, 25, and so-called professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23.
So he responded to KSI: "And i'll dog walk your ass so now what? You Wouldnt accept a fight on 2 weeks notice.
"Instead you fought 2 weak ass warm ups. You know my people run the play and put your money where your mouth is!
"Otherwise keep my name out your mouth before you get slapped in it."
Woodley was beaten by Paul on points in August 2021 and then got knocked out in their short-notice rematch last December.

Posting the KO, KSI jibed: "Both your fights against Jake were ass. So boring to watch.
"Only reason I would fight you is to show everyone how ass you both are, by beating you in a quicker time lmao."
Woodley remains in contention to fight KSI in January, along with Conor McGregor's training partner Dillon Danis, 29.
Meanwhile Paul faces UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his comeback fight on October 29 in Arizona.

Former DJ jailed for more than five years for stalking BBC Radio Northampton's Bernie Keith among others
The judge said the 42-year-old’s stalking was “more serious than that of a conventional stalker”
Ex-BBC DJ Alex Belfield has been jailed for five-and-a-half years for stalking four colleagues including BBC Radio Northampton’s Bernie Keith.
Belfield, aged 42, was found guilty of stalking Mr Vine and three others between 2012 and 2021 following a trial last month.
A court heard Belfield waged a nine year "campaign of harassment" against BBC staff after he was axed from his mid-morning show in 2011.

16-year-old takes himself to doctors after being stabbed in a Northampton alleyway
He targeted ex-colleagues and a theatre blogger through vicious emails, tweets and messages before uploading videos to his YouTube channel called The Voice of Reason.
On Friday (September 16) Belfield, of Mapperley, Nottinghamshire, was jailed for five-and-a-half years at Nottingham Crown Court.
Mr Justice Saini said: “Your stalking consisted the use of repeated email communications, social media content on Twitter and creation and publication of YouTube videos on your channel The Voice of Reason.
“Witnesses said you weaponised the internet, I find that an apt description of your conduct.
“The emails were widely distributed and not sent directly to victims. You would use a different email address to get through to them.
“Which understandably made them fear for their safety.
“Online stalkers like you have the ability to recruit an army of followers whose conduct massively expands the effects of your stalking.
“That is why your stalking is more serious than that of a conventional stalker.”
One of Belfield’s victims was BBC radio presenter Bernie Keith who came close to taking his own life as a result of the stalking.
Describing the impact the abuse had on Mr Keith, Mr Justice Saini said: “He’s the highly respected and established of many years at BBC radio Northampton.
“Your harassment of him took place over a substantial period of time. These were nine years.
“Having once been a friend and acquaintance, your harassment against Mr Keith first took the form of many emails which sort to criticise his shows.
“He asked you in a polite and restrained manner to stop.
“You bombarded Mr Keith with Facebook messages and YouTube videos. You continued to send repeat and abusive communications direct to Mr Keith.
“Mr Keith gave the jury distressing evidence of how close he came to hang himself.
“He was seconds away from taking his life as a result of your conduct.”
Belfield's other victims were Jeremy Vine, videographer Ben Hewis and theatre blogger Philip Dehany.
Jailing Belfield, who sat with his head down taking notes throughout the hearing, the judge said: “This is the shortest sentence commensurate with the seriousness of your offences and application of the principle of totality.
“You will serve up to one half of this sentence in custody. You will serve the remainder on licence.”
Judge Saini also imposed restraining orders preventing Belfield from contacting his four victims until further notice and ordered him to pay £10,000 costs.

INDEX — Highway 2 will remain closed between Index and Skykomish through at least Monday, as crews battling the Bolt Creek fire work to clear fallen debris and secure trees and boulders at risk of crashing onto the roadway.
The closure could last longer. Emergency response personnel will gather Monday morning to evaluate whether the highway can be safely reopened.
Rachel Lipsky, a spokesperson for Northwest Incident Management Team 8, said officials are announcing that the stretch of highway heading toward Stevens Pass will remain closed so drivers and residents can plan accordingly.
"We want to give folks a little bit of lead time on planning, especially for those who have left the area and want to come back for whatever reason," Lipsky said.
Recent weather patterns have worked in crews' favor as they try to control the fire, which has burned an estimated 9,440 acres as of Thursday. Small amounts of rain fell in the last day. More importantly, temperatures have dropped and humidity levels have increased, meaning large trees and other fuels are less likely to ignite.
Workers have made good progress establishing fire lines, with the help of several forest roads, Lipsky said. In the coming days, they will try to identify trees at risk of falling onto Highway 2 and clear them when necessary.
Landslides on Highway 20 to the north blocked another route over the Cascades on Wednesday night, further complicating the picture for drivers traveling east or west. Crews were able to open that passage Thursday afternoon.

MOSCOW (AP) — Kazakhstan’s parliament on Friday voted unanimously to support constitutional amendments that would extend the presidential term to seven years and rename the country’s capital.
The changes are part of an array of political and economic reforms President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has called for after violent protests rocked the country in January, killing more than 200 people. The unrest was sparked by a sharp rise in fuel prices, but also reflected widespread dismay with the country’s politics, which for over 30 years had been dominated by Nursultan Nazarbayev and his party.
The amendments passed in two readings by the Kazakh parliament on Friday extend the presidential term to seven years from the current five, but also bar any president from running for a second term in office. They also move to rename the country’s capital, Nur-Sultan, back to Astana.
Astana became the capital of Kazakhstan in 1997 when Nazarbayev, who led the country for three decades under the Soviet Union and after it gained independence in 1991, moved it there from Almaty. After he stepped down in 2019, his successor Tokayev moved to name it Nur-Sultan — in honor of Nazarbayev, who retained enormous influence as head of the county’s ruling party and security council.
But Tokayev removed him from those posts after deadly unrest in January that hinged partly on dissatisfaction with the power that Nazarbayev still wielded, and announced sweeping reforms.
Earlier this month, he called for snap presidential elections and announced the move to bring back the old name of the country’s capital.
Tokayev has previously said that he would run in the election. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the new amendments would allow him to, but similar constitutional reforms in Russia and Belarus allowed incumbent leaders to run again under the new constitution.

Michael Jordan's 'Last Dance' jersey fetches a record $10.1 million
Related video above: Rare auction of Michael Jordan’s sneakers and trading card
A jersey worn by basketball star Michael Jordan during one of the most famous seasons in his NBA career sold for a record $10.1 million at a New York auction Thursday.
The eight-figure sum was more than double initial estimates, setting a new auction record for a piece of game-worn sports memorabilia, according to Sotheby's, which organized the sale.
Jordan wore the Chicago Bulls jersey in Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals, the culmination of a famous season known as "The Last Dance" that featured in a 2020 documentary series of the same name. On June 3, 1998, Jordan pulled on the jersey for a game against the Utah Jazz, scoring 33 points in 45 minutes in a Bulls loss.
The Bulls went on to win the championship despite major internal divisions that had affected their season, with Jordan gaining his sixth NBA winners ring.
It is one of only two of his jerseys worn in a finals game to ever appear at auction, said Sotheby's, which billed it as "one of the most significant items from Michael Jordan's career."
In a statement, Brahm Wachter, Sotheby's head of streetwear and modern collectables, said the sale "solidifies Michael Jordan as the undisputed GOAT (greatest of all time), proving his name and incomparable legacy is just as relevant as it was nearly 25 years ago."
Prior to the sale, Wachter had called the 1997-1998 season "perhaps one of the most popular among Jordan fans, as Michael was reaching the height of his abilities while simultaneously pursuing what he understood would be his last chance at an NBA Championship with the Chicago Bulls."
"The season itself is his 'magnum opus' as an athlete, and a testament to him as a champion and competitor," he added in a press release. "Finals jerseys from Jordan are remarkably scant, and the 1997-1998 Finals are arguably the most coveted of them all."
The pre-sale estimate of $3 million to $5 million was the highest ever for a Jordan jersey, or any piece of Jordan memorabilia, the auction house had said.
The $10.1 million sale price realized on Thursday means it is now the most expensive basketball jersey ever to sell at auction, far surpassing the $3.7 million paid for one of Kobe Bryant's last year. The item also broke the game-worn sports memorabilia record held by Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona's shirt from the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal against England, said Sotheby's. The blue soccer jersey was sold to an anonymous buyer for $9.3 million earlier this year.
In October 2021, a pair of Nike Air Ships sneakers, worn by Jordan, sold for $1.47 million at auction. The basketball star wore the red and white sneakers during his fifth NBA game in his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls on Nov. 1, 1984.
The shoes set a world record for the highest price achieved for a pair of sneakers at auction, according to Sotheby's. They also became the first pair of sneakers to sell for more than $1 million at auction.

A WHOPPING £139m EuroMillions jackpot could be yours tonight - which would make you one of the biggest lotto winners ever.

The biggest UK winner is Gloucestershire couple, Joe Thwaite, 49, and Jess Thwaite, 46.
They decided to go public in May this year after winning £184million.
Husband Joe received an email congratulating him on his winnings - he said he was so shocked he didn't know what to do.
Jess said he got up at his usual 5.15am and sorted out the dogs.
"Once the dogs were happy he checked his phone and saw the email from The National Lottery saying, ‘Good news, you’ve won a prize’," she added.
Joe said: “I looked it up and saw we’d won. I saw how much and I didn’t know what to do.

"I couldn’t go back to sleep, I didn’t want to wake Jess up so I just laid there for what seemed like forever.
"I spent some time searching for property with no budget limit, which was a novelty!”
The UK's second-highest winner, who decided to stay anonymous, won £170million in October 2019.
It made them richer than Adele, The Sussexes and Ed Sheeran.
And if you were to win the jackpot tonight, you'd be just short £148.6million winners, Adrian and Gillian Bayford from Suffolk.
The couple won after buying a lucky dip from a convenience store in August 2012.
However, they ended up getting divorced just 15 months later.
Adrian went on to spend some of his fortune setting up a music business and opening a shop which included the world's largest collection of Lady Gaga memorabilia.
He also moved into a £6.5m mansion which had 189 acres and a pool.
However, he soon sold it after reports it had too many memories of friends betraying him.
And Gillian remarried in August 2018 to convicted fraudster Brian Deans.
She had a baby at the age of 48 during lockdown and said she had always wanted another.
The EuroMillions draw will happen at 8.45pm tonight in the hope of finding a winner.

GARYSBURG, N.C., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 14, 2022, Firefighters from several departments attended a meeting to learn about toxic PFAS found in their turnout gear that could be impacting their health.
The meeting was organized and co-hosted by Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League (BREDL) and included a presentation by Kevin Ferrara, a retired US Air Force firefighter, internationally known for his work on this issue. Ferrara commented that "military firefighters were deceived for decades about toxic firefighting foam; leadership knew but said nothing. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when will my doctor tell me I have cancer because of my exposure to toxic PFAS? As veterans and firefighters, we never asked or expected to be sickened by those we trusted to protect us, let alone the protective clothing we wear."
Bryan Brice of The Law offices of F. Bryan Brice, Jr. Brice Legal Firm and Annemarie Pantazis of Wilder-Pantazis Law Group provided additional information regarding legal options, as well as state and federal resources for firefighters and their families. Brice, speaking of chemical companies like Dupont, 3M, and Chemours stated, "We need to hold the chemical companies and those responsible accountable for the high cancer rates and other injuries caused by the unconscionable level of PFAS in firefighter turnout gear."
Therese Vick, North Carolina Healthy Communities Campaign Coordinator for BREDL and the mother of a firefighter said, " Firefighters risk their lives to protect us. The turnout gear they need to protect them should not pose a threat to their health. Our hope is to bring this information to the men and women of the fire service, the public, and decision makers."

In 1997, an ex-Merchant Navy personnel met with an accident which led to an amputation of right upper limb below the elbow. In July 2019, the Punjab and Haryana High Court awarded him Rs 14.82 lakh compensation, but unsatisfied with the amount and unfazed with a long-drawn legal battle, he moved the Supreme Court, which bumped the compensation by over 400 per cent and awarded him Rs 62.35 Lakh with 7.5 percent annual interest.
On Friday, a bench of Justices M.R. Shah and Krishna Murari said: “In view of the above and for the reasons stated above, the present appeal succeeds in part. The impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court is modified and it is ordered that the appellant herein – injured – claimant shall be entitled to a total sum of Rs. 62,35,000 with 7.5 per cent interest per annum from the date of filing of the claim petition till realization.”
The high court had awarded Rs 25,000 only towards pain, shock, and suffering, though the right hand below elbow of the claimant was amputated. The bench noted that during prolonged hospitalisation, he was operated five times and he was shifted to Medical College and Hospital at Rohtak and thereafter to Jaipur Golden Hospital, New Delhi, where he remained admitted from January 3 to January 21, 1997.
The high court had awarded the future economic loss considering the loss of income at Rs 18,000/per month.
The top court said it is required to be noted that the appellant was serving in the Merchant Navy and his salary at the relevant time was $1,000 and his right hand below elbow was amputated resulting in 70 per cent disability in the right arm.
As the high court had observed that the claimant can still earn something, the court said: “However, it is required to be noted that the claimant will not be able to do any work in the Merchant Navy. The High Court also observed that in the Merchant Navy, usually the job is for six months in a year. The said observation is absolutely without any basis.”
Frowning on the HC’s observations, the top court said that it cannot be said that the claimant would do nothing for the rest of six months and the high court did not consider the future rise in income.
“Under the circumstances and in the facts and circumstances of the case, the High Court ought to have awarded the future economic loss considering the loss of income at least at Rs 30,000 per month. Therefore, the total loss comes to Rs 57,60,000 (30,000x12x16),” it said.
It also awarded the petitioner Rs 4 lakh towards pain, shock, and suffering.
In his plea, the appellant had claimed a compensation of Rs 1.02 crore under different heads.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are punting a vote to protect same-sex and interracial marriages until after the November midterm elections, pulling back just days after Majority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed to put the Senate on the record on the issue “in the coming weeks.”
The delay was requested by key senators who have been negotiating changes to the legislation and comes at a time when many Republicans have been signaling opposition.
Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, the lead champion of the bill, had predicted they would be able to secure the 10 Republican votes needed to break a filibuster and push it to passage. But hopes dimmed in recent days as some Republicans raised concerns about whether the bill would protect the rights of religious institutions, business owners or others who oppose same-sex marriage.
The decision adds to the uncertainty facing the legislation, as it gives interest groups and other lawmakers opposing the bill more time to rally Republicans against it. But supporters hope that by pushing the vote back, they will relieve election-year pressure from some conservative voters and persuade more Republicans to support the legislation.
“We’ve asked Leader Schumer for additional time and we appreciate he has agreed,” Baldwin said in a statement, along with other members of the bipartisan group that is negotiating the bill. “We are confident that when our legislation comes to the Senate floor for a vote, we will have the bipartisan support to pass the bill.”
The statement from Baldwin, Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio and Thom Tillis of North Carolina came after a meeting with Schumer, who had been considering a vote as soon as next week.
A spokesman for Schumer said he is “100 percent committed” to holding a vote.
“Leader Schumer will not give up and will hold the bipartisan group to their promise that the votes to pass this marriage equality legislation will be there after the election,” said Schumer spokesman Justin Goodman.
Democrats and the small group of Republicans have moved to safeguard same-sex marriage following the Supreme Court decision over the summer that overturned Roe v. Wade and the federal right to an abortion. Lawmakers fear the court’s ruling, and a concurring opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas, indicate that an earlier high court decision protecting same-sex marriage could come under threat.
“We all want to pass this quickly,” Schumer said last week. “I hope there will be 10 Republicans to support it.”
The Senate push for the historic vote — and the openness by some Republicans to back it in an election year — reflects a large shift on the issue since the Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalizing gay marriage nationwide. Polling shows widespread public support for allowing such unions.
The bipartisan group has been working closely with the GOP senators who are open to the legislation but have religious liberty concerns. They finalized an amendment this week that would clarify that the legislation does not affect the rights of such private individuals or businesses — rights that are already enshrined in law. The legislation requires the federal government and states to recognize all marriages that were legal where they were performed, along with interracial marriages.
“Through bipartisan collaboration, we’ve crafted commonsense language that respects religious liberty and Americans’ diverse beliefs, while upholding our view that marriage embodies the highest ideals of love, devotion, and family,” the group said in the statement.
But some Republicans who had wavered on the bill were not yet on board.
Responding to the group’s statement Thursday, the White House emphasized again that the administration was leaving the mechanics of the legislation — such as the timing of a vote — to the Senate.
“We believe the Senate should find consensus just as the American people have,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday.
The bill protecting same-sex marriage cleared the House in a July vote with the support of 47 Republicans — a larger than expected number that gave the measure a boost in the Senate. But as the weeks went on, more Republicans raised religious liberty issues.
Another proposed tweak to the bill would make clear that a marriage is between two people, an effort to ward off some far-right criticism that the legislation could endorse polygamy.
It’s not clear how many Republicans would support the bill. In addition to Collins, Portman and Tillis, a fourth GOP senator, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, has supported same-sex marriage in the past. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who is up for reelection this year, has said he doesn’t see a “reason to oppose it” but has talked on both sides of the issue in recent weeks.
Most Republicans opposing the legislation have said it is simply unnecessary because the court ruling still stands. But others have gone further.
One group that has been opposed, the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom, has pushed back on the legislation.
“In the grander scheme, the Respect for Marriage Act is a way of putting an exclamation mark on the sexual revolution and its ideology,” wrote Ryan Womack, who works for the group, in a blog posted on its website.

Massachusetts residents looking to get a jab of the new Moderna bivalent COVID-19 booster may have to wait a bit longer.
There is a “temporarily limited supply” of the vaccine shots nationally, as the Cambridge-based manufacturer ramps up its production of the latest booster batch, a spokesperson for the state Department of Public Health told Boston.com on Friday.
A post on the Northampton city website earlier this week stated DPH issued a notice on Monday about the shortage after orders for boosters slated to arrive that day were canceled unexpectedly.
“This formulation is currently not available for ordering until September 19th or later,” the website states.
In the meantime, according to the DPH spokesperson, Massachusetts has “ample supplies of the bivalent Pfizer COVID-19 booster.”
“It is important to note that your booster does not need to be the same vaccine brand as your original COVID-19 vaccination, but does need to be age appropriate,” the spokesperson said.
Currently, people between the ages of 12 and 17 can receive only the Pfizer booster. Anyone age 18 or over can receive either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
The FDA granted emergency use authorizations for both vaccines late last month. The new boosters contain two strains of the messenger RNA components of COVID-19: one from the original COVID virus strain and another shared between the highly contagious BA.4 and BA.5 omicron variants.
Individuals are eligible for the booster shot at least two months after a primary or booster vaccination.
Massachusetts residents can schedule a vaccine appointment on the state’s website.
In Boston, those who get a vaccine dose during the “B Healthy Back-to-School” event hosted by the Boston Public Health Commission at White Stadium in Franklin Park on Saturday are eligible for a $75 gift card.
The family fun day, which will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., will also include free food, music, face painting, and games. The BPHC will also dole out backpacks to students and families.

Denim Insulation Versus Fiberglass Insulation: R-Value
Builders have been stuffing homes and businesses with fiberglass insulation for years because it's fairly easy to manufacture and works well. It consists of a fine matrix of flexible glass fibers that creates thousands of microscopic cells. These tiny pockets trap air and keep it from circulating, which reduces convection and heat transfer. However, the small glass fibers can stick into the skin and cause irritation. They can also get into the eyes and into the lungs if inhaled. Some reports, such as the 1994 Annual Report on Carcinogens, have labeled fiberglass as "possibly carcinogenic," prompting manufacturers to apply related warnings to their products.
Denim insulation carries no such warnings. It doesn't cause itching or irritation and can be installed without gloves, safety goggles or a dust mask (although DIY types and professionals may still want to wear a mask while cutting the batting). And it's safe for the long haul. Unlike some materials that off-gas toxic vapors or volatile organic compounds as they sit in your home, denim insulation sits inertly in your walls and floors, blocking the flow of heat without releasing harmful chemicals or irritants.

But does it work? Does it actually compete with the pink fiberglass made famous by the cartoon panther of the same color? Let's do a head-to-head comparison of the three most important functional attributes of building insulation -- R-value, acoustic performance and fire resistance.
R-value measures an insulation's resistance to heat flow. If a material has a high R-value, it has a greater insulating effect. Fiberglass batting with a thickness of 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) delivers an R-value of 10.90 [source: Nave]. Increase the thickness to 6 inches (15 centimeters), and the R-value of fiberglass soars to 18.80 [source: Nave]. The same thicknesses of denim insulation deliver R-values of 13 and 21, respectively [source: Bonded Logic ]. Score one for denim.
See how denim insulation fares on acoustics and fire resistance next.

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — A cease-fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan held Thursday following two days of fighting that killed 176 soldiers from both sides.
Armen Grigoryan, the secretary of Armenia’s Security Council, said the truce brokered thanks to international mediation took effect at 8 p.m. Wednesday. A previous cease-fire that Russia brokered Tuesday had quickly failed.
Armenia’s Defense Ministry said late Thursday that the situation on the border with Azerbaijan has been quiet since the cease-fire started and no violations were reported. There was no immediate comment from Azerbaijan.
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price welcomed the parties’ “continued adherence to the ceasefire.”
“We continue to engage and encourage the work needed to reach a lasting peace again, there can be no military solution to this,” he said.
The cease-fire declaration followed two days of heavy fighting that marked the largest outbreak of hostilities in nearly two years.
Armenia and Azerbaijan traded blame for the shelling, with Armenian authorities accusing Baku of unprovoked aggression and Azerbaijani officials saying their country was responding to Armenian attacks.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said Wednesday that 105 of his country’s soldiers had been killed since fighting erupted early Tuesday, while Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said Thursday it had lost 71.
The ex-Soviet countries have been locked in a decades-old conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, which is part of Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council that Moscow expects Armenia and Azerbaijan to abide by all the agreements of the cease-fire.
“We are in close contact with both countries so as to arrive at a sustainable cease-fire and the return of Azerbaijani and Armenian military to their positions of origin,” the Russian ambassador said.
He said that ways of lowering tensions were discussed in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s call with Pashinyan and conversations between top diplomats of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the defense ministers of Russia and Armenia.
Putin is also scheduled to meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on Friday on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in the Uzbekistan city of Samarkand.
At the council meeting, Armenia and Azerbaijan accused each other of starting the latest fighting.
During a six-week war in 2020, Azerbaijan reclaimed broad swaths of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent territories held by Armenian forces. More than 6,700 people died in the fighting, which ended with a Russia-brokered peace agreement. Moscow deployed about 2,000 troops to the region to serve as peacekeepers under the deal.
Pashinyan said his government has asked Russia for military support amid the latest fighting under a friendship treaty and also requested assistance from the Moscow-dominated Collective Security Treaty Organization.
Yerevan’s plea for help has put the Kremlin in a precarious position as it has sought to maintain close relations with Armenia, which hosts a Russian military base, and also develop warm ties with energy-rich Azerbaijan.
On Wednesday, Pashinyan told lawmakers that Armenia is ready to recognize Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity in a future peace treaty, provided that it relinquishes control of areas in Armenia its forces have seized.
“We want to sign a document, for which many people will criticize and denounce us and call us traitors, and they may even decide to remove us from office, but we would be grateful if Armenia gets a lasting peace and security as a result of it,” Pashinyan said.
Some in the opposition saw the statement as a sign of Pashinyan’s readiness to cave in to Azerbaijani demands and recognize Azerbaijan’s sovereignty over Nagorno-Karabakh. Crowds of angry protesters quickly descended on the government’s headquarters, accusing Pashinyan of treason. Protests were also held in other Armenian cities.
Thousands of opposition supporters rallied again late Thursday in front of the country’s parliament, calling for Pashinyan to be impeached. One opposition leader, Karin Tonoyan, urged protesters to start blockading government buildings on Friday and also issued a call for a nationwide strike.

Decision to remove pride flags from school draws complaints
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia school district's directive to remove pride flags from classrooms is drawing complaints from students and community organizations.
County Board of Education President Ron Lytle told The Gazette-Mail that the flags were removed because they went against the existing "Participation in Political Activities" policy.
"I think it was just a blanket statement that all flags were to be removed," other than the U.S. and West Virginia flags, Lytle said.
The policy says, in part, that "non-school related, political, and/or commercial literature, or campaign posters supporting one or more candidates, issues or a particular point of view shall not be displayed within the schools or on school owned or occupied property," news outlets reported.
Morgantown Human Rights Commission chairperson Ash Orr said the flags were removed on the second day of classes at Morgantown High.
More than a dozen Morgantown High School students and other gay rights supporters addressed the Monongalia County school board Tuesday to express support for the flags, The Dominion Post reported.
Meanwhile, American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia staff attorney Nicholas Ward said in an email that "we´ve received a number of complaints from students and parents about the school´s application of a troublingly vague policy to pride flags, and we are closely examining the situation."
"Promoting inclusiveness is not a political issue," Ward wrote, "and any interpretation of the policy that suggests otherwise raises serious concerns about violations of constitutional rights to free speech and expression."
Lytle said the policy is legal and he supports enforcing it because it´s currently in effect, but the issue will be discussed again at the next school board meeting.

Dr. Kodjo Esseim Mensah-Abrampa, while presenting on the theme of the Symposium disclosed that an Alumni of the Department of Planning is a planner for the City of Toronto. He, therefore, commended the department for producing planners who can work globally.
He indicated that the urban poor is mostly affected when the environment is depleted because the rich and powerful move away from environmental pollution. Urban Poor and young families who cannot afford to rent in reputable neighborhoods endure the consequences of environmental injustice such as water Pollution, Perennial Flooding, and among others.
The Director General indicated that Environmental Justice occurs when People have the right to participate in the governance and use of resources in their local community. He further added that Environmental justice is enshrined in relevant documents and even the constitution of the Republic of Ghana. He further noted that “environmental Injustice begins to thrive when planners compromise on the ethics of his or her profession.
Ending his Speech, He charged all planners to “Create a Ghana where there's a real optimization of resources to make the country a better place for the citizenry”. He noted that this will require the need to view professional planning Practice from an integrated and multiciliary perspective.

News
Screenshot from a video showing a man beating a caiman. –
Police in the North Eastern Division said they will be continuing further enquiries into a video circulating of a man beating a caiman in Aranguez on Thursday.
On Thursday a video of a large caiman swimming in floodwaters on the Aranguez Main Road was circulated on WhatsApp.
Another video showed a man holding the animal against a fence while another man was beating it.
The video stirred condemnation from social media users.
Contacted for comment, one North Eastern Division officer confirmed the incident happened in Aranguez and said while he did not have much information on what happened, it prompted further enquiry by the police.
He said there were laws in place to prevent cruelty against animals and once evidence of wrongdoing was found those involved could face criminal charges.
“It’s a kind of callous, inhumane behaviour. There may be people who think that it might be a joke, but it’s not.
“If it is we have the laws that govern how animals should be treated, and there are breaches, then certainly, coming out of the video there is only so much we can gather and in terms of hardcore evidence.
“(But) once we have laws in place and there are breaches those involved will face the consequences.”
Asked what the public should do when faced with wild animals in urban areas, the officer suggested they call the zoo or any agency prepared to take the animal.

DUBLIN, Ireland, Sept. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Facts and Factors has recently published a latest study report titled “Solar Tracker Market - By Product Type (Single-axis and Dual-axis), By Use (Utility, Commercial, and Residential), and By Region: Global Industry Overview, Market Size, Statistical Research, Market Intelligence, Comprehensive Analysis, Historical Data, and Forecasts, 2021–2028” in its research database.
“According to the most recent research study, the demand of global Solar Tracker Market size & share was valued at around USD 2.2 Billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of more than 10% during the forecast period 2021 to 2028 and is anticipated to surpass USD 4.3 Billion by 2028.”
The report explores the solar tracker market’s drivers & restraints and the impact they have on the demand during the projection period. Furthermore, the report examines emerging opportunities in the solar tracker market.
Report Overview:
Tracking would be a sophisticated method of installing and positioning solar panels. A solar tracker is used to align a solar PV panel towards the sun so that the panels receive the most sunlight possible. Fixed systems have historically experienced a reduction in overall energy utilization since they are not intended to track the sun and orient at an optimal angle. As a result, they could not obtain the sun's energy at all times of the day.
Solar trackers, which compensate for this gap, are innovative systems that can move to track the journey of the sun across the entire sky, gathering maximum sunlight and optimizing the energy output of the panel system.

NORCO, one of the most popular new video games of 2022, will appear in the Xbox Game Pass next month. NORCO is a critically acclaimed point—and-click adventure game released earlier this year for PC. When NORCO was launched on PC, it was a Game Pass game for the PC of the first day, but soon gamers on Xbox consoles will be able to see what it’s about. And NORCO not only joins the original Xbox Game Pass line, but also comes out on PlayStation consoles.
On October 20, NORCO will release a vanilla XboxGame Pass for Xbox One and Xbox Series X. On the same day, versions of the game will be available for PS4 and PS5 consoles. Although those on PlayStation will not be able to play NORCO through a subscription service, as Xbox gamers can do, the game is still worth a try, especially for fans of the point-and-click adventure game genre.
In NORCO, players take on the role of Kay, who returns to her hometown of Norco, Louisiana, after the death of her mother. The game takes place in the distant future, combining elements of noir and cyberpunk to create an interesting game world full of augmented humans, androids, cults and riddles that need to be solved. Despite the fact that this is certainly a serious topic, NORCO also has a sharp mind and a strong sense of humor, which helps to make it consistently interesting from start to finish. NORCO is also quite short, so anyone can come in and go through it without spending too much time on the game.
For those unfamiliar with the critical reception of the game, NORCO received rave reviews on its first launch, with praise for the music, plot, and clever twists of the traditional point-and-click adventure game features. It currently has an overall critics rating of 90 according to the OpenCritic summary review site, making it the third-highest rated game of the year at the time of this writing. The only games ahead of it are the 91—rated puzzle game Freshly Frosted and the epic open-world role-playing game Elden Ring by FromSoftware.
