(NEXSTAR) – If you go to your local pharmacy or vaccination site, you’ll be getting a new type of COVID-19 shot these days. It’s a bivalent booster shoot, meaning it contains parts of the original COVID-19 variant and the omicron variant that’s grown dominant in 2022.
The new formulation is designed to give you better protection against the type of coronavirus circling now, but does a new type of vaccine mean it will feel different?
“All the side effects from the bivalent booster (in clinical trials) were very similar to what we saw with the regular booster and even going back to the initial vaccination,” said Andrew Pekosz, a virologist with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in a recent media briefing. “Most often it’s redness at the site of inoculation, some soreness, feeling tired for a day or two afterwards — all the same side effects we’re seeing at relatively the same rates with the bivalent booster.”
Other common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine in adults — whether it’s the updated formula or not — include headaches, fever, chills and nausea, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In kids, the most common side effects are a bit different. For really young children, between 6 months and 3 years old, you’ll often see soreness at the injection site, but also swollen lymph nodes, irritability, sleepiness or loss of appetite.
In children 4 to 17 years old, the side effects are more similar to what adults see. Side effects in this age group are more likely to occur after the second dose, the CDC says.
The CDC says side effects are usually mild and pass within a day or two.
The Food and Drug Administration has authorized the use of two bivalent COVID-19 boosters. The Moderna shot is available for adults, while the Pfizer shot is available for people 12 and older.
It’s hard to say how much better these boosters will protect us from the virus than the last version, because tests of this exact recipe have only just begun in people.
The FDA cleared the new boosters based in large part on human studies of a similarly tweaked vaccine that’s just been recommended by regulators in Europe. Those tweaked shots target an earlier omicron strain, BA.1, that circulated last winter, and studies found they revved up people’s virus-fighting antibodies.
With that earlier omicron version now replaced by BA.4 and BA.5, the FDA ordered an additional tweak to the shots — and tests in mice showed they spark an equally good immune response.
There’s no way to know if antibodies produced by an omicron-matched booster might last longer than a few months. But a booster is also supposed to strengthen immune system memory, adding to protection against serious illness from the ever-mutating virus.

SHAOXING, China (AP) — Ninety minutes after Queen Elizabeth II died, orders for thousands of British flags started to flood into a factory south of Shanghai.
More than 100 employees at Shaoxing Chuangdong Tour Articles Co. set aside other work and put in 14-hour days starting at 7:30 a.m. making nothing but British-themed flags.
They turned out at least 500,000 the first week, according to general manager Fan Aiping.
Some are British flags to be carried by mourners or hung outside homes. Others show Elizabeth’s portrait and the years of her birth and death. They range in size from 21 to 150 centimeters (8 to 59 inches) wide and sell for 7 yuan ($1).
The first customer sent an order at 3 a.m. Chinese time for tens of thousands, according to Fan. She said 20,000 the factory had in stock were sent out that morning.
“The customer came to our factory directly to grab the products,” Fan said. “Many of the flags weren’t even packaged. They were put in a box and shipped away.”
The factory had been making flags for the football World Cup before Elizabeth’s death.
Chuangdong has been in the industry since 2005 and produces flags for the World Cup and other sports events or national day celebrations. It also makes sports-themed scarves and banners.
Employees pay attention to news for events that might bring in orders.
“There is a business opportunity behind every news event,” Fan said.
Ni Guozhen, an employee since 2005, said she has learned about the world through her work.
“I’ve learned a lot about current events,” said Ni, who was sewing flags with the queen’s portrait. "My knowledge has grown. Therefore I’m proud and happy that I’m making flags.”
Ni remembers filling orders for British-themed flags for a royal wedding.
“There is a story behind each flag,” Fan said. “This time it’s about the queen in the United Kingdom. They are buying these flags to mourn the queen deeply.”

(iSeeCars) – When you compare the cost of driving a gas-powered car one mile to the price of going the same distance in an electric vehicle, the EV almost always comes out ahead. Drivers of gas-powered cars always know gas prices because they are advertised in big numbers at every local gas station. Not as many people know the cost to use an EV charging station to fill up an EV, largely because the cost of electricity is not as prominent in people’s minds.
Yet it’s possible to calculate EV charging costs pretty quickly. If you don’t want to dive into public charging station rates, the associated rebates and incentives, or studying your own electric bill, the Department of Energy (DOE) has said the average cost for electric car charging is about 60 percent lower than the equivalent fueling costs for an internal combustion vehicle. But if you’re an EV owner, or potential owner, and want to figure out a more specific number, here are three ways to calculate the cost to charge and drive electric.
This chart shows the cost to fully charge a Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the cost per mile and annual cost to charge for each state in the U.S., using average residential electricity costs and annual driving range. We’ll show you how we arrived at these numbers below.
*Energy costs sourced from U.S. Energy Information Administration
Cost Per “Gallon”
In 2013, when mass-market electric vehicles were still relatively new, the DOE created the eGallon, which attempted to calculate the cost of a “gallon” of electricity. Electricity can’t be measured in gallons, so the DOE came up with a formula that uses the average efficiency of the top five best-selling EVs to calculate a realistic national average. The formula looks like this: eGallon ($/gal) = FE * EC * EP, and we can use it to calculate the cost of an eGallon for any EV:
Step 1: Find the miles per gallon (MPG) rating of a comparable gas-powered car. This is the fuel economy (FE) in the formula above. You can also use the average U.S. rating of 25.4 mpg for model year 2020 vehicles, the most recent data available.
Step 2: Find the electricity consumption (EC) of the EV. This number, expressed as kilowatt-hour (kWh) per mile, can be found on the EPA’s fuel economy website. As an example, we will use the Tesla Model Y, which was the best-selling EV in the U.S. last year. There are multiple versions, each with different ratings. We will use the most efficient model, the Tesla Model Y RWD, which uses 26 kWh per 100 miles. We need to express this number by the mile, so we will divide by 100, or .26 kWh.
Step 3: Find your electricity price (EP). For home charging, you can use the monthly number from a recent utility bill or calculate your annual average. If you’re OK with rough estimates, you can use the average cost for your state (which you can find in the table below) or the national residential average, which was 15.42 cents in June 2022 according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the most recent month for which data is available.
Step 4: Break out the calculator. Following the formula above with national averages, the cost of an eGallon in the Model Y looks like this: 25.4 x .26 x 15.42 = $1.02. That means using an EV charger to fill up a Model Y is like gassing up a traditional vehicle for around a dollar a gallon.
Cost Per Charge
If you want to move beyond gallons, you could calculate the actual charging cost. You will need to know two things: the cost of the electricity and how much you need. Average residential electricity costs vary wildly around the country, from 10.49 cents per kWh in Washington State to 28.98 cents in California and 44.09 cents in Hawaii. Remember, the national average is 15.42 cents.
The amount of electricity an EV driver needs depends on the distance traveled and the EV’s battery size. Automakers provide the total capacity for electric car batteries in each EV, and today’s packs range from around 30 kWh to around 100 kWh. The usable battery capacity is what determines driving range, and is not always equal to the stated full capacity. But for our purposes you can estimate usable battery capacity by reducing total capacity by around 10 percent. An empty 70-kWh pack would require around 63 kWh for a full charge. Some automakers provide a battery’s net capacity, which will make your calculations more accurate.
Now, all you need to do is some multiplication. A 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro RWD, for example, with its 82-kWh battery (77 kWh net), it will cost around $11.87 to charge from zero to full (77 kWh x 15.42 cents = 1,187 cents).
Calculating costs at public fast charging stations works the same, but it’s difficult to discuss average costs. Charging networks charge different rates, usually somewhere around 30 or 40 cents per kWh, with everything from the charging network you’re using (Tesla SuperCharger network Electrify America? EVgo?), to the time of day (peak hours versus off-peak hours) potentially impacting your cost.
Generally speaking, the faster charging options out there, such as DC fast charging public chargers or the SuperCharger network, will cost you more than charging with a 240-volt level 2 system at your house. But fast chargers can get you from 10 to 80 percent battery capacity in less than 30 minutes, assuming your EV has a compatible charging system capable of taking full advantage of this technology.
Many newer EVs, like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model 3, can take advantage of fast charging, while most older EVs like the Nissan Leaf can not. That kind of charging speed can mean up to 250-plus miles of range recaptured in less than an hour, versus 4 miles of range an hour from a standard 110-volt wall outlet or 30 miles of range from a level 2, 240-volt home system. (For more information on charging time, refer to our How Long Does it Take to Charge an Electric Car? guide.)
Cost Per Mile
Finally, it’s useful to know an EV’s cost per kWh, since that allows you to calculate cost per mile. Start with the cost to refill the battery ($11.87 for our ID.4 example above) and then divide by the vehicle’s range of 275 miles: 4.32 cents per mile. The average American drives 14,263 miles each year, according to the most recent data from the Department of Transportation. That would mean the average cost to drive the ID.4 for a year is just over $600, as reflected in the table above.

Serious breach at Uber spotlights hacker social deception
The ride-hailing service Uber said Friday that all its services were operational following what security professionals are calling a major data breach, claiming there was no evidence the hacker got access to sensitive user data.
But the breach, apparently by a lone hacker, put the spotlight on an increasingly effective break-in routine involving social engineering: The hacker apparently gained access posing as a colleague, tricking an Uber employee into surrendering their credentials.
They were then able to locate passwords on the network that got them the level of privileged access reserved for system administrators.
The potential damage was serious: Screenshots the hacker shared with security researchers indicate they obtained full access to the cloud-based systems where Uber stores sensitive customer and financial data.
It is not known how much data the hacker stole or how long they were inside Uber's network. Two researchers who communicated directly with the person - who self-identified as an 18-year-old to one of them - said they appeared interested in publicity. There was no indication they destroyed data.
But files shared with the researchers and posted widely on Twitter and other social media indicated the hacker was able to access Uber's most crucial internal systems.
'It was really bad the access he had. It's awful,' said Corbin Leo, one of the researchers who chatted with the hacker online.
The cybersecurity community's online reaction - Uber also suffered a serious 2016 breach - was harsh.
The hack 'wasn't sophisticated or complicated and clearly hinged on multiple big systemic security culture and engineering failures,' tweeted Lesley Carhart, incident response director of Dragos Inc., which specializes in an industrial-control systems.
Leo said screenshots the hacker shared showed the intruder got access to systems stored on Amazon and Google cloud-based servers where Uber keeps source code, financial data and customer data such as driver's licenses.
'If he had keys to the kingdom he could start stopping services. He could delete stuff. He could download customer data, change people's passwords,' said Leo, a researcher and head of business development at the security company Zellic.
Screenshots the hacker shared - many of which found their way online - showed sensitive financial data and internal databases accessed. Also widely circulating online: The hacker announcing the breach Thursday on Uber's internal Slack collaboration system.
Leo, along with Sam Curry, an engineer with Yuga Labs who also communicated with the hacker, said there was no indication that the hacker had done any damage or was interested in anything more than publicity.
'It's pretty clear he's a young hacker because he wants what 99% of what young hackers want, which is fame,' Leo said.
Curry said he spoke to several Uber employees Thursday who said they were 'working to lock down everything internally' to restrict the hacker's access. That included the San Francisco company's Slack network, he said.
In a statement posted online Friday, Uber said 'internal software tools that we took down as a precaution yesterday are coming back online.'
It said all its services - including Uber Eats and Uber Freight - were operational and that it had notified law enforcement. The FBI said via email that it is "aware of the cyber incident involving Uber, and our assistance to the company is ongoing.'
Uber said there was no evidence that the intruder accessed 'sensitive user data' such as trip history but did not respond to questions from The Associated Press including about whether data was stored encrypted.
Curry and Leo said the hacker did not indicate how much data was copied. Uber did not recommend any specific actions for its users, such as changing passwords.
The hacker alerted the researchers to the intrusion Thursday by using an internal Uber account on the company's network used to post vulnerabilities identified through its bug-bounty program, which pays ethical hackers to ferret out network weaknesses.
After commenting on those posts, the hacker provided a Telegram account address. Curry and other researchers then engaged them in a separate conversation, where the intruder provided the screenshots as proof.
The AP attempted to contact the hacker at the Telegram account, but received no response.
Screenshots posted online appeared to confirm what the researchers said the hacker claimed: That they obtained privileged access to Uber's most critical systems through social engineering.
The apparent scenario:
The hacker first obtained the password of an Uber employee, likely through phishing. The hacker then bombarded the employee with push notifications asking they confirm a remote log-in to their account. When the employee did not respond, the hacker reached out via WhatsApp, posing as a fellow worker from the IT department and expressing urgency. Ultimately, the employee caved and confirmed with a mouse click.
Social engineering is a popular hacking strategy, as humans tend to be the weakest link in any network. Teenagers used it in 2020 to hack Twitter and it has more recently been used in hacks of the tech companies Twilio and Cloudflare, said Rachel Tobac, CEO of SocialProof Security, which specializes in training workers not to fall victim to social engineering.
'The hard truth is that most orgs in the world could be hacked in the exact way Uber was just hacked,' Tobac tweeted. In an interview, she said 'even super tech savvy people fall for social engineering methods every day.'
'Attackers are getting better at by-passing or hi-jacking MFA (multi-factor authentication),' said Ryan Sherstobitoff, a senior threat analyst at SecurityScorecard.
That's why many security professionals advocate the use of so-called FIDO physical security keys for user authentication. Adoption of such hardware has been spotty among tech companies, however.
The hack also highlighted the need for real-time monitoring in cloud-based systems to better detect intruders, said Tom Kellermann of Contrast Security. 'Much more attention must be paid to protecting clouds from within' because a single master key can typically unlock all their doors.
Some experts questioned how much cybersecurity has improved at Uber since it was hacked in 2016.
Its former chief security officer, Joseph Sullivan, is currently on trial for allegedly arranging to pay hackers $100,000 to cover up that high-tech heist, when the personal information of about 57 million customers and drivers was stolen.

Speaking at a Press Conference in Accra on the second update of the WAEC on the conduct 2022 WASSCE, Mrs Agnes Teye -Cudjoe, Head of Public of Affairs, WAEC National Office, said the phenomenon was on the increase.
Mrs Teye-Cudjoe also recounted how one of the Council’s commissioned Monitoring Agents was assaulted by a gang of five on September 12, this year at Santa Maria after monitoring.
According to her, the agent was severely beaten, and he had his mobile phone and spectacles damaged.
She said the council had reported the matter to the Police at Anyaa and the matter was under investigations.
On syndicated cheating in schools, Mrs Teye-Cudjoe said WAEC had several cases in seven schools.
According to her, “the practice involves collection of monies from candidates by teachers and execution of pre-arranged plans by these same persons who assist candidates to cheat by solving questions and distributing photocopied / printed solutions to the candidates.”
She mentioned that schools as Asawinso SHS, Action, Madina SHS, Juaben SHS, Aduman SHS, Sunyani Business College, Oxford Business SHS, Sunyani and Miracle SHS, Sunyani.
The Head of Public Affairs, WAEC National head office said the Council has also observed that some persons snapped some papers during examination and forwarded same to some Telegram Channels.
She explained that Graphic Design Paper 2 was tracked to Sandema SHS, and “the candidate has been arrested and processed for court.”

“In Asawinso SHS, another invigilator took snap shots of Social Studies Paper 2 and forwarded same to his contractor at Sefwi Bekwai via WhatsApp,” she added.
Mrs Teye-Cudjoe said WAEC had sent Caution letters to 34 schools following tip offs and reports from Intelligence sources about schemes from those schools to ensure that their candidate did not cheat during the ongoing WASSCE.
She mentioned the schemes as payment of money by candidates to teachers/ school authorities ostensibly to induce supervisors and invigilators to compromise and predetermined arrangements to have subject tutors solve questions and distribute answers in various forms to candidates.
Mrs Teye-Cudjoe commended stakeholders for safeguarding the integrity of examinations.

GILMAN — K&H Truck Plaza employee Sharon Eimen couldn’t wait until the customer left the business. She wanted no part of the man who had allegedly sexually assaulted a young passenger on an Amtrak train the morning before.
Eimen had seen a photo of Joel Smith that police had posted — the subject of a massive manhunt.
The 33-year-old Michigan resident had walked up to the truck stop counter to buy an energy drink.
“I was back here behind the desk,” Eimen said. “He did converse with us, and we were dying on the inside” as she and co-worker Barb Pool had recognized him.
“We conversed back and treated him like we hadn’t seen him before. It’s like please” get out of here. “We didn’t know what he was going to do.”
When Smith had walked out of earshot, Eimen called 911. It seems truck stop customers had recognized Smith and done the same thing. “People around here were pretty upset” after learning what Smith allegedly had done on the train, Eimen said.
Officers were soon on the scene, but Smith had made a hasty retreat when he saw fuel station manager Jeff Gerling and another employee follow him “and watched him go toward the cornfield.”
“He knew he was being followed,” Gerling said.
Surveillance footage showed Smith had entered the truck stop about 20 minutes earlier, around 8:40 a.m., and used the upstairs facilities set aside for truckers to clean up.
Smith was captured 36 hours after fleeing the train following a manhunt that involved more than 70 law enforcement personnel. Smith sits in the Iroquois County jail charged with criminal sexual assault and is facing a $2 million bond.
Iroquois County Sheriff Clinton Perzee said a state trooper, who had come into town to help search, arrested Smith about 11:30 p.m. Thursday as Smith was walking across the highway near the intersection of U.S. 24 and U.S. 45, near the truck stop and a Super 8 motel.
“He was arrested without incident,” Perzee said. “He’d been out in the elements for two days.”
Sometimes a little good luck is needed to catch a fugitive.
Perzee said Smith likely thought police were searching on the west side of the railroad tracks. He was on the east side.
“We had pretty much suspended the search as far as the large officer presence,” Perzee said. “We still had a patrol presence with two cars patrolling the town. I live nearby and was going to stay there for quite a while in an unmarked vehicle myself, and other officers were out on foot in one area. A state trooper heard we were patrolling on foot. He was headed our way and just happened to come across the subject as he was walking.”
Smith had been on the run since the Wednesday morning incident. After fleeing at Gilman, he was last seen east of K&H.
The large manhunt ensued Thursday morning with officers from throughout central Illinois, state and local agencies, the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force and the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System. Several people and businesses with farm equipment aided in the search as they lent the use of their high-boy sprayers to enable police to better look down into the cornfield.
The search also involved the use of drones, canines and a helicopter. Perzee said he doesn’t know how Smith eluded the manhunt in the cornfield.
“We had a pretty tight perimeter. (But) there’s so many hiding places that it would be easy for him to use one of the ditches on the property.”
He said police came from as far away as Danville and Beecher.
“The overwhelming law enforcement response was amazing to me,” he said. “It was guys, they didn’t have a dog in the fight, but they were there for the same reason just as if it was their own case.”
Iroquois West Superintendent Angelo Lekkas said school remained in session Wednesday afternoon when the search was confined to a smaller area. But the decision was made in working with law enforcement not to hold classes on Thursday.
Because Smith was not apprehended until late Thursday and many parents hadn’t heard that Smith had been caught, school officials gave them the option whether to send their children to school on Friday.
Lekkas was looking forward to Friday night’s Iroquois West homecoming football game against Salt Fork — knowing Smith is in custody.
“The town is very thankful to our local law enforcement and so many other officers, men and women, who came from all over the state and region,” Lekkas said.
Gilman Mayor Rick Theesfeld said the level of concern around town varied when Smith was on the loose.
“I think most people didn’t have a problem” with what was going on. “Some people had a concern,” said Theesfeld, adding he’s happy Smith has been apprehended “and we don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Monical’s Pizza owner Nathan Horchem said the railroad tracks run past his business, and he saw the train stopped for about 30 minutes on Wednesday after Smith “jumped off.”
He said his business took safety precautions, having extra personnel walk out with the female employees at the end of their shift.
Many residents and businesses provided food and water for officers during the manhunt. Police acknowledged the assistance of Eastern Illini Electric Co-op, Gilman Fertilizer, Nutrien Ag and FS.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal jury on Friday convicted a former star of the St. Louis-based reality TV show “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” of arranging the shooting death of his nephew.
The jury deliberated about 17 hours over three days before reaching its verdict in the murder-for-hire case against James “Tim” Norman, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. He was charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
Norman and his nephew, Andre Montgomery, both starred in the long-running OWN reality show about a popular soul-food business founded in the St. Louis area by Robbie Montgomery — Norman’s mother and Andre’s grandmother.
Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty but Norman could be sentenced to up to life in prison. Sentencing is set for Dec. 15.
Federal prosecutors said Norman, 43, hired two people to kill the 21-year-old Montgomery on March 14, 2016, then tried to cash a $450,000 life insurance policy taken out on his nephew months earlier.
Defense attorney Michael Leonard said after the verdict that he and Norman were “extremely surprised and disappointed in the outcome” of the case. He said they plan to appeal and that Norman continues to be optimistic that he will eventually prevail.
Leonard said the testimony during the trial of two co-conspirators was shown to be “extremely non-credible.” And he said Norman testified well during the trial, noting he was not cross-examined.
U.S. Attorney Sayler Fleming said she was “very, very pleased” with the verdict but that her office would make no further statements until after the sentencing.
During closing arguments, Assistant U.S. Attorney Angie Danis said Norman was the architect of the plan to kill Montgomery.
“This plan doesn’t exist but for Tim Norman’s greed,” Danis said.
Leonard argued in his closing argument that the murder plot presented by prosecutors was a “made up theory.”
Prosecutors said Norman paid $10,000 to an exotic dancer, Terica Ellis, to lure his nephew to the site where he was shot and paid $5,000 to Travell Anthony Hill to shoot Montgomery.
Ellis and Hill both testified for the prosecution in the case. They have both pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme.
In testimony during the trial, Norman said he helped his nephew move to St. Louis about 18 months before he was killed and supported him financially because he was trying to watch out for Montgomery. He said he sought to be a “father figure” to his brother’s son.
Former Sweetie Pie’s employees and other character witnesses testified that Norman and his nephew had a close relationship.
Danis said all the testimony from the scheme’s co-conspirators was backed up in trial by texts, call records and location data.
She said Norman created “an image of being a mentor and a father figure to all these people, but it’s fiction.”
Leonard said during his closing argument that Ellis testified to get a shorter sentence and said Hill admitted he was a heavy drug user and that he was “hopped up on drugs that day.”
Norman testified Tuesday that he took out the life insurance policy on his nephew to give a longtime customer of the family restaurants, Waiel Rebhi Yaghnam, some business.
Yaghnam pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and wire fraud in the case.
Montgomery left St. Louis after at least $220,000 in cash, jewelry and other items were stolen in a June 2015 burglary at Robbie Montgomery’s home.
Norman told jurors he and his mother hired a private investigator to find and confront his nephew about the robbery but he had no intention of hurting him.

Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish feature in the record books in their own personal ways. Photograph:( AFP )
Erling Haaland bags a major Premier League record with his latest goal against Wolves as Grealish picks up the quickest goal of the season.
Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and his band of speedsters charted a course to the West Midlands to compete against Wolverhampton Wanderers FC at the Molineux Stadium.
Their Round 8 clash came to an end with the Men in Blue walking away with a flawless 3-0 win. While the game itself was easy pickings for the Manchester-based outfit, Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish managed to shine bright.
Grealish was the first to feature on the scoreline, as he managed to find the back of the net in the dying seconds of the first minute after kick-off. The goal marked the quickest goal that has been scored by any player in the Premier League so far this season.

In addition to making his way onto the record book for this season, Grealish managed to shut his detractors down as he has found himself at the receiving end of a significant amount of heat from naysayers of late, owing to his less than productive outings on the field.
Erling Haaland, on the other hand, has absolutely been on fire this season, consistently netting goals in almost every single domestic and European outing.
Raising the bar that he himself has set in the Premier League, Haaland rattled the net in the 16th minute, extending City's lead against Wolves to two.

With the goal, the Norwegian ace managed to etch his name in English footballing folklore as the first player to bag goals in each of his first four away games in the season.
City talisman Phil Foden sealed The Wanderers' fate as he picked up the third and final goal of the match in the second half, helping the Etihad Stadium-based outfit walk away with three points and solidifying their position at the top of the table with Arsenal coming in at a close second.
However, it is interesting to note that the Gunners still have a game in hand and will be locking horns with Brentford in their upcoming game to attempt to cross City to reach the top.

The San Jose Sharks settled the grievance that the NHL Players’ Association had filed over Evander Kane’s terminated contract Friday, as the team will make a one-time payment to the winger without having to incur a salary cap charge this year or in the future.
The exact amount of money the Sharks are paying Kane was not immediately known, but the cap hit from that payment will be retroactively applied to last season when the team finished the year with close to $5 million in cap space.
The arrangement, first reported by Frank Seravalli of DailyFaceoff.com, ends a months-long dispute between the Sharks and the players’ union.
Kane was owed $19 million over the final three years of the seven-year, $49 million contract that he and the Sharks agreed to in May 2018 before the deal was terminated. Kane signed a four-year, $20.5 million contract with Edmonton in July and is owed $16.5 million by the Oilers over the next three years. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported the settlement helps to address that $2.5 million difference in pay.
The grievance was slated to be decided by an independent arbitrator, but the hearing was never completed. The Sharks would have been free of any financial obligation to Kane had the arbitrator ruled in their favor, but they would have had to take back the contract had they lost the grievance.
The Sharks in a statement said the agreement was approved by the NHL and NHLPA, adding, “we are satisfied that its terms will not adversely impact the team, either financially or competitively, in this or future seasons.”
An NHLPA spokesman said in an email to this news organization that the union was pleased to have the matter resolved.
Kane issued a statement on his Twitter account Friday, writing, “I played some of my best hockey in San Jose and gave everything I had on the ice. I really enjoyed playing in front of the Sharks fans and appreciate my loyal fans who have supported me throughout.
“Adversity can either break you or make you stronger. It certainly made me stronger. I’m happy to finally close that chapter of my hockey career. Edmonton let’s go!”
Kane, 31, had 166 points in 212 regular season games with the Sharks from 2018 to 2021. Prior to the start of the 2021-22 season, Kane was suspended for 21 games by the NHL for a violation of the league’s COVID-19 protocol and did not play another game for the team.
Kane was placed on waivers by the Sharks on Nov. 28, 2021, and assigned to the Barracuda, San Jose’s AHL affiliate, the next day.
Kane remained with the Barracuda until the Sharks terminated the remainder of Kane’s seven-year contract in January for what it believed was a material breach of his contract and a violation of AHL COVID-19 protocols.
At the time, the NHL felt the Sharks had proper cause to void Kane’s contract. The NHLPA, though, quickly filed a grievance on Kane’s behalf, with Dan Milstein, Kane’s agent, saying on social media that the Sharks did not have sufficient cause to justify the contract termination.
Wednesday, Sharks general manager Mike Grier hinted that the team and Kane’s camp had been working towards a settlement, adding that he and the organization were ready to move on.
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to put that behind us and we can move on from it,” Grier said. “It’s been something that’s been talked about a lot, it’s taken a lot of people’s time and effort but so hopefully we’ll be able to put some closure to it.
“The people on our side are working on it, the PA and the league, and (Kane’s) representative are all working to get this thing settled as quickly as possible.”
The Sharks have just over $200,000 in cap space, per CapFriendly, with 23 players on the roster.

(Bloomberg News) - Even as Vladimir Putin admitted that Xi Jinping had concerns about the war in Ukraine, the Russian leader’s comments on Taiwan may ultimately matter more to his Chinese counterpart.
During their first in-person talks since the Ukraine war began, Putin on Thursday blasted what he called “provocations by the U.S. and its satellites in the Taiwan Strait,” while reiterating support for Beijing’s “one China” principle.
Beijing’s statement on the call thanked Moscow for its position on the island while asserting that “no country is entitled to act as a judge on the Taiwan question.” The statement made no mention of Ukraine, where Russia’s military has suffered humiliating setbacks recently.
Despite questions about the extent to which China supports Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Beijing has been clear it agrees with Russia’s gripes about the U.S.’s expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization posing a security threat. China has accused the U.S. of seeking to establish an Indo-Pacific version of the alliance, and views recent actions by policy makers in Washington as encouraging separatism in Taiwan.
Tensions around Taiwan have increased after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the island in early August, with Xi ordering unprecedented drills by the People’s Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait. Beijing is also warning of yet more upheaval if U.S. lawmakers pass the Taiwan Policy Act, which would give Taipei $4.5 billion for defense over four years and potentially recognize the island as a major non-NATO ally.
“Rather than Putin seeking more support from China on Ukraine, he pledged more support on the Taiwan issue,” said Henry Wang Huiyao, founder of the Center for China & Globalization, a policy research group in Beijing. “That’s something new to me and shows Putin wants to get closer with China, rather than vice versa.”
Although currently the focus is on what help China may be able to help Russia in its war on Ukraine, over the long term Beijing may be calculating what support Moscow could provide in any Taiwan conflict. If war were to break out, Russia could be crucial in ensuring supplies of food and fuel that could be disrupted by sanctions and any military moves by the U.S. and its allies.
The Ukraine war is giving Beijing more leverage to continue to buy oil and gas from its neighbor, which could translate into greater Russian military support for China over the long term, according to Alexander Gabuev, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.
“The material help will be in strengthening the PLA — nuclear deterrence, transferring weapon designs and transferring new systems,” Gabuev said. “This is material support for China’s Taiwan policy that’s not advertised.”
In the event of a war over Taiwan, China would need a stable strategic supporter at its back as it faces challenges from the sea, Zhao Huasheng, a professor from Shanghai-based Fudan University who researches Russia, wrote in an article published last month by Tsinghua University’s Center for International Security and Strategy.
Russia’s oil and gas exports to China, which will come via pipelines, could bypass sanctions in case of an embargo imposed by the West, he wrote, adding that marine shipping would become unreliable. “In the case of a major international crisis, Russia will be the most important external source of crude oil that China could think of — if not the only one.”
Official readouts from the Xi-Putin meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Uzbekistan mentioned very little concrete details about possible energy collaboration, including on gas pipelines. China, Russia and Mongolia separately said they would actively push forward the construction of China-Russia gas pipeline in Mongolia, according to Xinhua.
It’s still possible that discussions took place behind closed doors. Gabuev from Carnegie noted the presence of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak at the event.
“He’s the guy in charge of the energy relationship with China,” Gabuev said, adding that Russia has a “massive incentive” to work closely with China on energy given the challenges it faces in Europe because of punitive measures taken in response to the war in Ukraine.
The Asian nation surpassed the European Union to be single largest buyer of Russian crude this summer, according to the International Energy Agency. That pace could continue given the EU is due to put shipping and insurance sanctions on Russian oil trade after Dec. 5.
“Where does Russia go?” Gabuev said. “China is the main destination.”

The gig economy has opened up plenty of opportunities for people to go into business for themselves and make money doing what they love. Freelance writing, Uber driving, Grubhub delivery, and content creation can help people set their own hours to make a living or earn extra money. There are also some, well, adult ways to take advantage of the gig economy.
For those who don’t know, OnlyFans allows would-be adult video stars to create their own content and make money doing so. But it’s gotten one nursing home employee in trouble.
A young, umm, lady named Jaelynn works as a nurse at several nursing home facilities. The way she describes it, she freelances and takes shifts at four nursing homes near her. She also creates content for OnlyFans, and it’s that side gig that led one of her employees to fire her.
The New York Post reports that one of Jaelynn’s nursing home employers let her go because she was a “distraction” to other employees. These other employees were looking at Jaelynn’s social media while they were on the clock, gawking at her. Some of them also purchased some of Jaelynn’s OnlyFans videos and watched them at work.
The Post reports that Jaelynn questioned why she was losing her job and not the other employees. “She said that she can’t have that happening every time that I work so she has to let me go,” Jaelynn said, recounting that her boss pointed out that the “main reason for letting me go is because they need a job more than I do.”
Here’s Jaelynn’s announcement (LANGUAGE WARNING):
@playgirljaelynnn Like Is that even legal 😂 #fyp #healthcare ♬ original sound – Jaelyn ✨
I bet her parents are so proud.
So, what’s Jaelynn doing these days?
She’s a naughty nurse.
Recommended: This Day in History: the Registration of Google.com
Jaelynn said she had a follow-up meeting with the employer in order to have a written explanation for her attorney.
I’m no lawyer, nor am I an expert in employment law or human resources. But to me, it sounds like this employer probably has grounds to fire Jaelynn. Even one of the people who supported her in the comments had some qualifications.
“’That is 110% a lawsuit … no questions asked,’ one user wrote,” according to the Post. “’Unless it specifically says something in the code of conduct for that employer‘” (emphasis mine).
Another interesting factor of Jaelynn’s story is that she talks out of both sides of her mouth when it comes to the money she makes from her nursing work versus what she makes from OnlyFans.
At the beginning of the article, the Post reports that “Jaelynn explained that her main source of income is making OnlyFans content.” But later on, Jaelynn laments that she has to rely on nursing to supplement the money she makes from her videos.
“You never know what you’re going to make on OF,” the Post reports her saying. “One month you could make $600 and one month you could make $50,000 — it just really depends.”
That’s the gig life, sweetheart.
I don’t feel sorry for Jaelynn. She’s made the choice to make at least some money in an industry that can be a distraction to people in plenty of professional environments. I can’t help but want to say to Jaelynn: live by the adult video, die by the adult video.

NORTH PORT — Known for his quick wit, his love for old, fast cars, sports and politics, Tom C. Munroe died recently. He was 72.
He was the husband of North Port Vice Mayor Barbara Langdon.
“Tom and I were blessed with 40 years of marriage, and we both agreed that the past eight years spent in North Port were our happiest together,” Langdon said. “What a gift.”
In between grief and city budget meetings, Langdon planned her husband’s memorial service. It is 3 to 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26 with a prayer service at 4 p.m. at Farley Funeral Home, 5900 S. Biscayne Drive, North Port. Larry Grant from Awaken Church will lead the prayer service.
She doesn’t want flowers.
“Children going hungry pressed painfully on Tom’s heart,” Langdon said.
Awaken Church and When All Else Fails in North Port are working with the family to create a fund in Tom's name to provide food for North Port school children during summer vacations and holidays. Munroe was saddened to learn some of North Port's children go hungry during their time off of school.
“I would like to create a program in Tom’s name to address helping feed children and suggest that folks contribute in lieu of flowers.”
Awaken Church feeds more than 1,600 families each month. The couple has gone out to help the church during drive through giveaways.
“Feeding children is absolutely what Tom would have wanted instead of me getting flowers in his memory,” she said. “He loved this community and enjoyed the friends we’ve met here.”
Munroe graduated from Memorial High School in Manchester, New Hampshire in 1967. He attended St. Anselm’s College in Bedford, New Hampshire. He served in the Vietnam War. He became a police officer back in his hometown of Manchester. He then spent 25 years in the automotive industry as a finance director and a general manager.
“Tom played semi-pro football after high school,” Langdon said. “He was a rabid Boston sports fan, particularly the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. He also loved cars and won several 'best of show' awards with his 1968 red Shelby Mustang.”
The couple moved to North Port in 2014. It was then he had time to play golf. He was a previous member of Deep Creek Golf Club in Punta Gorda. He was an active member of the North Port Area Republican Club.
“Tom loved the rough-and-tumble of local politics,” said Langdon, adding her husband backed her running for local office and went to as many places as he could with her, even through some severe health battles.
Munroe is the son of the late Charles Munroe and Catherine Munroe Beaudin of Manchester. He is survived by Barbara Langdon; his sister Donna Munroe Lambert and brother-in-law James Lambert (Merrimack, New Hampshire); nephew Charles Desfosses and wife Jessica (Stark, New Hampshire); niece Alexis Desfosses and grandnephew Collin Charles Conte (Nashua, New Hampshire); cousins: Sharon Dion and husband Norman (Bedford, New Hampshire); Terry Monroe and wife Susan (Mount Holly, New Jersey); Patty Deshaise and husband Gary (Gary, Maine) and Michael Hamel and wife Vicky (Wyoming).
Those wishing to donate should make their check out to When All Else Fails, referencing Tom Munroe's Memorial Fund on the memo line and mail to: When All Else Fails, the Cowork Hive, 12460 Tamiami Trail- Suite 5, North Port, FL 34287.

Flood Devastation; Pakistan Needs Assistance From Neighbours, World Community: Khawajah
Umer Jamshaid Published September 17, 2022 | 06:31 PM
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Sep, 2022 ) :Minister for Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Saturday said the country would need assistance from its neighbours and the world community due to massive floods as large-scale crop losses might cause famine.
The Defence Minister revealed in a media conference while sharing the updates of the Prime Minister's visit along with his delegation to Uzbekistan at Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit of the Council of Heads of State in Samarkand.
Khawajah said the Prime Minister during his one-on-one interactions, bilateral meetings and speeches at the SCO Summit had highlighted that the global north damages to ozone layer caused the disaster that directly impacted over 33 million people in Pakistan.
"He (Prime Minister) reiterated that in the coming days Pakistan would need the assistance of its neighbours and world community due to massive damage to its agriculture that would cause food security crisis," the Minister said.
He appreciated that the UN secretary general was playing the role of Pakistan's spokesperson for spreading the word for assisting Pakistan in crisis.
Khawaja said, "The country never needed such unity and solidarity before aa the 220 million masses had to stand together to help disaster hit masses. The winter season is approaching and the flood crisis could cause famine in Pakistan." During the visit, he said it was visible that the world leaders at the SCO Summit sent their greetings to Mian Nawaz Sharif and recalled their meetings with him.
The position of Pakistan among the comity of nations was due to the initiatives taken during Mian Nawaz Sharif's tenure and that tradition was continued by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, he added.
While recalling the Prime Minister's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he said, "President Xi in a meeting said I remember Mian Shehbaz as an efficient and pragmatic leader and we believe that we will start CPEC with same spirit, efficiency and hardwork." He added that President Xi also discussed the railway line project that was in the doldrums, CPEC projects, road network projects in our region and beyond.
The Chinese President reaffirmed that China was the all weather strategic friend of Pakistan and wished that they wanted Pakistan to overcome crises and achieve stability, he said.
The Chinese President, the Defence Minister said also extended all out support to Pakistan in this regard.
"The Prime Minister is in Tank right now and DI Khan areas to observe rescue and relief efforts.
He will then leave for UK to attend the last rituals of the Queen and then he will leave to New York to attend UN General Assembly session," he informed.
The Minister also briefed that Russian President Vladimir Putin appreciated Pakistan's position on Russia-Ukraine War in the UN and internationally.
"No leader claimed that their governments had proposed Pakistan to buy oil. No one wrote any letter to Pakistan. However, there have been discussions on oil, gas and wheat supplies from Russia. Russia has proposed that its gas pipelines infrastructure has been extended to Central Asian states which can be extended to Pakistan through Afghanistan to provide gas supplies." The Russian authorities had also extended offer for wheat supplies as a food supplies shortage was looking in the country due to flood devastation, he added.
He noted that the Prime Minister got great attention at his maiden appearance at an international forum and got unprecedented acclaim which was evident from the pictures.
Responding to media queries, he said no personal bias or politics could overcome national interest. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rule proposed a charter of economy which was rejected by the Imran Khan regime.
"Imran Khan is not talking about floods rather continuously demanding power. Khan's statement should never become topic of politics. Did Khan and his Chief Minister made any visit to flood affectees?" He continued that the flood affectees were in pathetic condition in South Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) but there was no commitment of government of PTI.
On a query pertaining to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) appointment, he said the policy was as per the constitution as any sitting Prime Minister in November would have to decide the nomination of the next COAS.
"Nawaz Sharif had done the process four times and this time Shahbaz Sharif will do it. This issue had never become popular on media and Imran Khan had played a very negative role in this regard. This is a constitutional procedure and should be done on it's time. The Army Chief had his loyalty to the state and it's constitution. No one should have any question about it." He alleged that there were persistent attacks on the national security and stature of the nation as Imran Khan was a national criminal for sabotaging relief efforts and barring intrnational agencies to stop aid to Pakistan.
The Defence Minister told the media that the PM would convene National Security Committee meeting after his return and the issues would be discussed pertaining to Imran Khan statements jeopardizing national security.
The law as per the constitution should be applied without any discrimination to all, he said.

A new Guinness World Record has been set for the fastest mile driven in reverse, with a time of 1:15.18.
The record was set June 15, 2022, by Scot Burner at NCM Motorsports Park, the racetrack attached to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Burner drove a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with a manual transmission. He used a manual because its speed in reverse isn’t governed, and instead maxes out when the engine reaches its maximum revolutions per minute. Automatic cars are speed-governed in reverse.
Burner has a YouTube channel called Always in Reverse where he drives various cars in reverse to see how fast they’ll go. He averaged 52.1 mph during his record run. In a Corvette video he made last November driving the same car, he hit 54 mph in reverse on a public road.
According to the entry for the record on the Guinness World Records website, Burner realized he could break the record after noticing the previous record was a time he had already unofficially beaten. One of his videos shows him hitting a slightly faster top speed of 56 mph—in a Kia Sorento.
At least one other driver has gone faster in reverse without officially claiming the fastest-mile record. Then Audi Formula E driver Daniel Act hit 130 mph in Schaeffler Group’s electric Audi RS 3 touring car in 2018, but apparently no one timed him over a mile.
It’s possible to go too fast in reverse, at least as far as safety regulators are concerned. In 2017, the Mercedes-AMG G65 was recalled because the software that limited top speed in reverse wasn’t properly calibrated, potentially allowing vehicles to exceed the 16 mph deemed safe. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.5-liter V-12, the G65 was capable of a claimed 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds while going forward, so it was probably a good idea to rein it in while backing up.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors.

When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Sema4 class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8672or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese consumer spending and factory output edged up in August but still were weak, official data showed Friday, and forecasters warned the second-largest economy is vulnerable to repeated shutdowns of cities to fight virus outbreaks.
Housing sales plummeted while prices edged lower, adding to a slide in real estate activity under pressure from a government campaign to control surging corporate debt that set off an economic slump in mid-2021.
“China’s economy held up slightly better than anticipated last month, but momentum still weakened,” said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics in a report. “September is shaping up to be even worse.”
Chinese leaders are trying to prop up economic growth that sank to 2.5% over a year earlier in the first six months of 2022, less than half the official 5.5% target, without big stimulus spending that might push up debt and housing costs.
Economists say this year’s Chinese economic growth might come in below 3%, less than half of last year’s 8.1%. The ruling Communist Party has stopped talking about being able to meet its 5.5% target.
Retail sales, one of China’s most important economic engines, rose 5.4% in August over a year earlier, double the previous month’s 2.7% growth, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. That beat forecasts of 3.3%.
Factory output grew by 4.2%, up from July’s 3.8% but still weak by Chinese standards. Investment in factories, real estate and other fixed assets edged up to 5.8% from the previous month’s 5.7%.
China’s rebound from the pandemic was disrupted by anti-virus measures that shut down Shanghai and other industrial centers starting in March. Those restrictions have eased but controls have been temporarily reimposed on the southern business center of Shenzhen and other cities to control outbreaks.
The economy “remains at risk from future lockdowns,” said Robert Carnell of ING in a report.
The ruling party is sticking with a “zero COVID” strategy that calls for keeping the disease out of China by isolating every case. Officials have responded to complaints about the rising economic cost and social disruption by warning that lifting controls will lead to outbreaks that will be more expensive and destructive.
Housing sales fell 30.3% from a year earlier, reflecting disruption as builders cope with tighter limits on their use of debt. Many buyers appear to be reluctant to spend after thousands of apartments that already were paid for were left unfinished, forcing local authorities in some areas to step in and try to complete them.
Prices paid for new homes declined 0.3% from July.
“As a major pool of Chinese household wealth, this won’t help encourage spending,” said Carnell. “These numbers are likely to remain a blot on the economic landscape for quite a while.”

PORTSMOUTH — There’s a residential development with homes that have brick and vinyl siding and small front lawns, that looks like any other middle-class community.
It’s called New Port at Victory, and it’s near the city’s Tidewater Community College campus and the Bide-A-Wee golf course.
But there’s something unusual about this place.
In recent months, the board of New Port’s homeowners’ association has been filled with members who have connections to the top of Portsmouth’s political food chain. And some don’t even live in the development.
There’s Paige Cherry, the Portsmouth Treasurer, and Kenyette Battle, wife of city councilman Paul Battle. And then there’s Seth Woodard, a cousin of councilman Christopher Woodard, and the board’s president, Denise Key, who is a former employee of state Sen. Louise Lucas and touts their personal friendship.
Neither Cherry nor Battle live in the community of more than 460 residents, according to a letter from the HOA’s own president.
So the question: Why has the five-person board been loaded with people who have ties to Portsmouth’s political heavyweights?
None of the board members are talking, but residents think the answer has something to do with the city’s new casino, which is being built about a half-mile from New Port.
And some residents are considering a hostile takeover to get control of the board, which they feel has gone rogue.
Cherry and Battle began their terms Aug. 18, according to HOA records. Key was elected last August. It’s unclear when Woodard joined the board.
When the HOA informed New Port residents of the new appointees, “everybody was like, when did this happen? What’s the Portsmouth Treasurer doing here?” said Yarrum Bland, 49, who has lived in the development for about 15 years.
New Port resident Denise Green, 58, wonders why the new members would want to spend their time on this board when they don’t live there or are busy with other political commitments.
“I really don’t understand what their interest would be,” said Green, an elementary school principal. “The only thing I know is that there’s a huge casino being built within walking distance of our homes.”
Bland’s theory is that if investors start buying homes in the neighborhood because of the new casino, the new board members can have some sort of oversight.
Resident Wayne Wright, 34, thinks the new members’ appointment violates the development’s articles of incorporation, which specify that board members need to be elected by property owners for two-year terms.
Though Key has defended the lack of elections, she also stated that the appointments will only be for one year, with an election in 2023. That contradicts a previous HOA letter, which said the new appointees would serve for two years.
Until 2018, Key was a human resources manager for Lucas Lodge, which provides residential facilities for intellectually disabled adults. It is owned and operated by Lucas and her daughter, councilwoman Lisa Lucas-Burke.
Lucas, who pushed for a casino in Portsmouth in the legislature for years, could not be reached for comment.
When Key ran for the presidency of the board in the summer of 2021, she stressed her political connections.
“I’m full of knowledge and personal contacts/resources with the City of Portsmouth,” she wrote in a Facebook post from June 2021, citing her friendship with Lucas, among other things.
The Pilot attempted to interview each board member, but they did not respond to messages or declined to comment.
Reached by phone, Key referred questions to Jeffery Nuckolls, the board’s attorney.
“I’m sure he’ll be happy to speak with you,” she said, then hung up.
Nuckolls, a law partner of Del. Jay Leftwich, R-Chesapeake, said in an email that he, the board and HOA staff declined to comment.
Battle did not respond to two messages left on a voicemail that stated the number belonged to Paul and Kenyette Battle. She also did not reply to messages given to a staffer at Tranquility Manor, Paul Battle’s business.
Paul Battle also did not respond to requests for comment.
Cherry is on medical leave and was unavailable for comment, a Portsmouth city staffer said. That staffer said Cherry was aware a reporter had requested an interview.
Board director Seth Woodard did not respond to messages left with his wife and another number listed for him.
His cousin, Councilman Chris Woodard, said he didn’t know Seth was on the board.
When he learned that Battle and Cherry also were on the board, he said, “Oh my gosh” and laughed.
But Woodard dismissed the idea that the politically connected people on the board have something to do with the casino.
It’s unclear exactly how involved the new board members are in making decisions and running the development. The board held a recent meeting on Zoom, but a Pilot reporter was not granted access.
However, The Pilot obtained an hour-long portion of the meeting that was recorded by a resident.
Battle attended the meeting but did not speak in the hour reviewed by The Pilot. Cherry was not at the meeting. Key noted that he was absent due to major surgery. Seth Woodard spoke for less than a minute near the end and encouraged residents to reach out to him.
Aside from the surprise appointments of Battle and Cherry, the HOA faced criticism for hiring the company of Key’s daughter to provide security.
The business, K & J Armed Security, was created on April 29 shortly before it started working in the development in May, according to state records and an announcement to residents.
“I was just told to put in a bid” by someone at the office at the beginning of the year, Key’s daughter, Denesha Key, said in a phone interview.
She added that the HOA knew about her business “‘cause I’m a deputy sheriff and I’m always out there,” not because of her mother’s position as head of the board.
But Key is no longer a Portsmouth sheriff’s deputy, said Col. Marvin Waters, the department’s undersheriff. She was a deputy from September 2021 to March of this year, Waters said.
The company also is not certified with the state as a private security business, despite Key’s claim to the contrary.
Today's Top Stories
Denesha Key declined to divulge the amount of her contract with the HOA.
Residents haven’t received that information either. Wright said he tried to get copies of all contracts going back to September as well as other documents, but was told it would be expensive.
The board’s secrecy has made the situation between the community and Denise Key worse, said Green.
A group of residents has been meeting to discuss the situation. They’ve done research and talked about taking back control of the board. And one property owner, Crystal Sherman, is organizing a petition to call a special meeting to remove the board members.
Resident David Cumbo doesn’t think his neighbors will win their battle because they don’t fully understand the political dynamics behind the situation and don’t have the ammunition to fight the well-connected board members. Still, he said, something needs to be done.
“We need to warn people. People are buying homes here thinking they’re buying a piece of the American Dream and they’re not. It’s a piece of the American nightmare.”

LOS ANGELES — Every NFL team likes to play at home, but those familiar confines will look especially good to a handful of clubs who opened on the road and started the season as flat as a lonely stretch of highway.
San Francisco did a belly flop in rainy Chicago, 19-10.
Denver, with Russell Wilson making his debut at Seattle, crumbled in the red zone and lost to the Seahawks, 17-16.
Green Bay was humbled by Minnesota, 23-7.
Las Vegas instantly dropped back in the AFC West with a 24-19 loss at the Chargers.
Each of those four 0-1 teams has a chance Sunday for redemption at home. Not that this is a lock every season, but last year no team that started the season 0-2 qualified for the playoffs.
A glance at their situations:
San Francisco (versus Seattle)
The biggest issue with the 49ers is at quarterback, where Trey Lance is trying to get his footing and Jimmy Garoppolo is lurking over his shoulder. It would bleed off a lot of pressure Sunday if Lance were to pick up a victory.
That’s no simple task against Seattle, a franchise that has a history of playing well against the 49ers, even though a seasoned Wilson was at the helm all those years.
Kyle Shanahan’s offense is predicated on a strong ground game, and that could be an issue for San Francisco, which lost top running back Elijah Mitchell in the opener. It was a flashback to last season when San Francisco lost Raheem Mostert in Week 1 against Detroit.
So the spotlight swings to running back Jeff Wilson, and it’s uncertain whether he’s the guy to carry the load. He doesn’t have the explosive potential of a healthy Mitchell or Mostert, now with Miami. The 49ers used Deebo Samuel as more of a running back than a receiver against Chicago, and maybe that’s the answer. They look at Samuel the way Seattle once looked at the multidimensional Percy Harvin.
Finally, there has been lots of talk about the soggy conditions in Chicago, which wouldn’t seem to be an issue in Santa Clara, which has suffered the same kind of drought problems as Southern California. In a strange twist, though, there’s a high probability of rain for Sunday’s game. The 49ers can’t seem to get out from under that cloud.
Denver (vs. Houston)
Despite the outcome in Seattle, the Broncos were happy about a lot of aspects of that opener. They rolled up 433 yards of offense, numbers more typical of the Peyton Manning era, and their defense held the Seahawks to 34 yards and five first downs in the second half.
There was weirdness, too, including fumbles on the one-yard line on back-to-back possessions, possibly a first in NFL history. Then there was botching the clock management at the end and betting the outcome on a 64-yard field-goal attempt.
The Broncos got just three points out of three trips inside the 10-yard line. It takes work to be that inefficient.
So returning to Denver isn’t so much a complete reboot as a welcome escape from the lunacy of Lumen Field, maybe the loudest place in the NFL, and the chance for a fresh start.
Watch for Denver to be more balanced offensively than in the opener, when the Broncos ran the ball less than half as much as they threw it. The Broncos’ ground game should be more of a factor Sunday against a Houston defense that gave up 177 yards on the ground in its opener against Indianapolis.
Green Bay (vs. Chicago)
Being on the wrong end of a lopsided opening game was especially painful for the Packers because it was Minnesota delivering the beatdown. Fortunately for Green Bay, it won’t be facing a receiver the caliber of Justin Jefferson too often.
The Packers feel good about their defense, regardless, and have a running game capable of establishing the tempo. The problem in the opener was they fell behind too quickly to stick with the run, so that one-two punch of A.J. Dillon and Aaron Jones became an afterthought.
With Davante Adams in Las Vegas, the Packers need to develop more receiving talent. That drop by wide-open rookie Christian Watson on a game-opening bomb had to be excruciating.
It was a nothing-special game from Aaron Rodgers, but he’s been here before. The Packers lost their opener last season and wound up tied for the league’s best record. R-E-L-A-X, remember?
(Just not too much, because after the Bears comes a trip to Tampa Bay.)
Las Vegas (vs. Arizona)
There’s no shame in losing to the Chargers, especially by less than a touchdown, so the Raiders were far from humiliated in their opener. Still, it was a division game, and Las Vegas has its share of unresolved issues.
Lack of protection for quarterback Derek Carr is a big one. The Raiders are still trying to figure the right side of their offensive line and are rotating at both guard and tackle on that side. Maybe that should have been worked out in training camp, but it didn’t help that promising rookie lineman Thayer Munford was hurt in August and sat out the last two preseason games. He was on track to become the starting right guard, and the coaches also like fellow rookie lineman Dylan Parham.
Regardless, in the opener, the right side played better than the left. Left tackle Kolton Miller struggled with the Chargers’ front, surrendering a pair of sacks. He’s a good player who had a bad game, and the Raiders as a team need to do a better job of handling blitzes this season.
Las Vegas might not have the luxury of tinkering with the line in the short term because starting center Andre James sustained a concussion in the opener and Parham might have to step into that role.
Carr was hounded relentlessly in the opener and wound up with three interceptions, his most in a game since 2018.
For some, his performance added a log to the fire of those people who think starters should take at least some snaps in preseason games. Might just be a statistical anomaly, but quarterbacks who didn’t play in the preseason saw their teams go 3-8 in Week 1.
Whereas Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins, the Chargers’ Justin Herbert and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson won, the rusty losing quarterbacks included Carr, Rodgers, Wilson, the Rams’ Matthew Stafford, Arizona’s Kyler Murray, Tennessee’s Ryan Tannehill, Dallas’ Dak Prescott and Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow.
Then again, the Rams don’t put much stock in the importance of starters playing in the preseason. And they now have a ring to support that argument.

Jaipur, Sep 17 (PTI) Rajasthan Industries Minister Shakuntala Rawat on Saturday launched the MSME Policy-2022 and the Handicrafts Policy with a vision to provide favourable business environment.
The MSME policy envisages to set up 20,000 new MSME units with a total investment of Rs 10,000 crore and creating jobs for 1 lakh people.

Gehlot who was scheduled to take part in the event could not come due to other commitments.
The policy proposes to give a relaxation of five years in approvals and inspections for setting up and promotion of the MSME units, an official statement said.
In the 2019 policy, the relaxation period was three years, it said.
In the last four years, over 37.33 lakh people have got jobs in the micro, small, and medium enterprises, or the MSME sector, and its contribution to the GDP has been estimated to be 24.50 per cent.
In the financial year 2021-22, the total export of MSME industries was 72,000 crore.
The new policy is being brought to increase the contribution of MSMEs in the state's Gross Domestic Product (GSDP), as well as exports, the official statement said.
Under this policy, the government will seek to create a favourable regulatory environment for the MSME units and also extend more financial and technical assistance to the entrepreneurs.
On the other hand, the new Handicrafts Policy will help in the upliftment of handicraft artisans by empowering them. New employment opportunities will also be created in the state. Handicrafts on the verge of extinction will be revived. National-level Handicrafts Week will be organised every year in December and artisan will be felicitated.
Facilities like brand building of handicrafts, assistance for online marketing, social security, loan facility, scholarship, assistance for participation in fairs, expansion of infrastructure facilities in Craft Village, besides setting up handicraft park, museum, design center, sales center will be ensured under the policy.
A state-level monitoring committee headed by State Industries and Commerce Minister will be also be formed to ensure better implementation of the policy.

B.C. woman waited 1 hour for help after suffering a stroke, family says
Former New Westminster city councilor Lorrie Williams waited more than an hour for an ambulance to arrive after suffering a stroke at home, according to her family.
“It’s beyond belief that it would take that long,” said the 81-year-old’s brother, Allan Greenwood. “This was life and death potentially, and nobody came when they were needed.”
At the time of her stroke last month, Williams was with her friend, a retired doctor, who immediately called 911. Greenwood said driving to the hospital wasn’t a viable option.
“She’s on the ground, she’s partially paralyzed,” Greenwood said, adding that there were steep stairs to climb down as well.
With the hospital around three blocks away, they figured an ambulance would arrive in a matter of minutes.
“We are reviewing our response to this call,” said B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) in an email to CTV News. “However, we do know that at the time, many of our paramedics were responding to other very urgent medical emergencies in the area and the first ambulance that became available was dispatched.”
BCEHS added that once paramedics were alerted that Willliams’ condition had changed, the call priority was “upgraded,” and paramedics arrived about four minutes later.
Greenwood strongly disagrees with that statement.
“I just don’t buy it,” said Greenwood. “What was upgraded? She was on the floor. She was paralyzed and she was having a stroke. What was upgradable about that?”
Weeks later, Williams remains partially paralyzed and in hospital. Greenwood said she’s starting to begin physical therapy.
The president of Ambulance Paramedics and Dispatchers of B.C. said Williams’ experience is yet another story highlighting the critical shortage of paramedics in this province.
“We’re stretched thin,” said Troy Clifford. “So right now, we just need to add more resources, we need to staff them appropriately and to do that we need to pay them meaningful wages.”
Clifford adds that around 30 per cent of staff are off work due to stress and psychological injuries including PTSD.
The union that represents paramedic workers begins negotiations with the province on a new contract this month.
“We will get there, I’m confident in that,” said Clifford.
Meanwhile, Greenwood hopes sharing this story helps spark meaningful change.
“It’s about my sister this time, but it could be about anybody next time.”

BROWN COUNTY (KSNT) – A new twist on a recent scam is surfacing in Brown County and Sheriff John Merchant is warning residents again, don’t be afraid to hang up.
Sheriff Merchant warns the new twist includes calling people and telling them, if they hang up, Amazon will charge them $200 and Mastercard will charge them $900, according to a release.
The caller then says to avoid the charges, they must dial #1. When they press #1, an individual will try to get personal information from them, Sheriff Merchant said in a statement.
“These scammers are highly trained to glean information from you to access your financial accounts. If you do not respond or speak with these people, your chances of becoming a victim are very slim,” Sheriff Merchant said. “When in doubt, hang up.”
Earlier this month, Sheriff Merchant warned residents of the scam and encouraged people to hang up and “never call them back.”
At that time, residents were being told an expensive item has been charged to their Amazon account and to press #1 for further details. Those who press #1 find themselves on the line with someone who asks for their Amazon account information.
According to Merchant, some residents have received as many as 20 calls in a day.

Jamaicans who believe that strong opposition parties are good for democracy will welcome Mark Golding’s claims about the health of the People’s National Party (PNP) finances and the party’s promise to return to publishing audited accounts.
Implicit in Mr Golding’s pledge, at a forum with this newspaper’s editors and reporters, was a critical nod to transparency. It added salience to the Opposition leader’s, and his party’s, insistence in Parliament earlier in the week that the Government disclose all the companies and individuals who financed the public relations element of Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith’s campaign earlier in the year to become the secretary general of the Commonwealth.
When Robert Nesta Morgan, the de facto information minister, wasn’t forthcoming with all the information, Mr Golding quipped: «He is smiling and laughing like it’s a joke.»
Transparency in government, or in political parties from which they spring, is indeed serious business. Which is why Mr Golding and the PNP can’t stop at merely poking the Government for partisan gain over the Johnson Smith matter, or at just publishing the PNP’s accounts – something the party first did more than a decade ago, but quickly abandoned doing.
GO THE WHOLE HOG To be credible, Mr Golding must go the whole hog on transparency. He mustn’t only tell Jamaicans how much money the PNP raised and spent, and what its assets and liabilities are, but must reveal who put money in its coffers. Mr Golding should also propose legislation – which he might draft himself and table in the House as a private member’s bill – to make the public provision of that information mandatory for political parties.

Bread and other baked goods are offered for sale in the shop of the Bonert bakery in Munich, Germany, September 15, 2022. [Photo/Agencies] The European Parliament has voted in favor of legislation that aims to guarantee adequate minimum wages for workers across the 27-nation bloc and strengthen their collective bargaining powers.
Lawmakers in Strasbourg on Wednesday debated a deal that was negotiated with European Union member states in June. In voting, 505 members of Parliament were in favor, while 92 votes were against and there were 44 abstentions.
Agnes Jongerius, a lawmaker from the Socialists and Democrats group and co-rapporteur of the directive, welcomed the adoption of the bill, saying that it «sets the standards for what an adequate minimum wage should look like», The Associated Press reported.
«Prices for groceries, energy bills and housing are exploding. People are really struggling to make ends meet. We have no time to waste, work must pay again,» said Jongerius.
The directive will now be formally adopted, giving member states two years to implement it in national law.
The Euractiv news website quoted Mounir Satouri, a Green member of the European Parliament, or MEP, as saying that «thanks to this directive, 25 million workers will see their salary increase by 20 percent», adding that this would also erode some of the gender pay gaps in Europe.
AP noted data from the EU that showed across the bloc, the minimum wage varies, with the highest in Luxembourg, Ireland and Germany, and the lowest in Bulgaria, Latvia and Estonia.
The legislation will require member countries to guarantee «that their national minimum wages allow workers to lead a decent life, taking into account the cost of living and wider pay levels», the Parliament said in a statement, adding that it will apply to all EU workers who have an employment contract or employment relationship.
It said the new law also promotes collective bargaining for pay in countries where fewer than 80 percent of workers are covered by the process.
Most member states will now have to find ways to increase their collective bargaining coverage, which means strengthening trade unions, said Euractiv.
Hungarian socialist MEP Klara Dobrev said it is the «end of an era» in Europe.
«For decades, European countries have competed among themselves where workers are cheaper, where they are vulnerable, and that was a so-called advantage,» Dobrev told Euronews.
«And this is the end of an era when competitiveness is measured by a cheap and vulnerable labor force.»

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A Florida woman was charged with attempted first-degree murder after she allegedly stabbed her roommates in a dispute Friday morning, according to deputies.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office got a call at around 8:03 a.m. from a victim who claimed that he and another person were stabbed by Christina Adams, 30, that morning.
Deputies said Adams was found near driving near the crime scene. She initially denied the accusation during an interview with deputies, but later admitted that she stabbed the roommates after they asked her to leave the home they shared with her.
Adams confessed to getting a large knife and stabbing both roommates to the point where she thought they were dead, according to the sheriff’s office.
After the stabbing, Adams said she tried to destroy evidence of the attack, changed her clothes, left the home, and went shopping. Deputies located her while she was on her way back.
“These senseless acts of violence are shocking to all of us,” Sheriff Billy Wood said. “I’m very proud of my deputies and detectives that worked so quickly to not only provide aid to the victims but, also to capture such an evil person and ensure that our streets are safe.”
Adams was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.

SCARY OR NOT, IT’S TRUE – HADI WOULD HAVE BEEN PM ALREADY IF PAS HAD STAYED WITH PAKATAN – BUT THEN CORRUPTION, GREED & EXTREMISM SET IN – FLAILING NOW AS IT BECOMES CLEAR EVEN TO MALAYS, PAS MINISTERS ARE THE WORST-PERFORMING, THE MOST CLUELESS & INCOMPETENT OF ALL – PAS HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO GO BACK TO BEING PROMISCUOUS!
If PAS had stayed with PKR and DAP in then Pakatan Rakyat coalition, (PAS president) Abdul Hadi Awang may have become a prime minister, said Kedah Amanah chairperson Phahrolrazi Mohd Zawawi.
This was basically the gist of Malaysiakini’s recent interview with the former Kedah PAS leader at his house in Alor Setar, Kedah.
Asked to reminisce about the time when PAS decided to withdraw from Pakatan Rakyat, the Alor Mengkudu assemblyperson said he believed the decision was made because of the mindset of some party leaders at the time.
According to him, political enemies had been trying to break up the opposition coalition for quite some time, even since the days when PAS was being led by the late Fadzil Noor and its then spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
He said PAS had seen changes in its leadership over the years, and it had always participated in elections and looked really strong.
Political reality
“(But) when we contest in elections, we lose. Our ceramah was attended by tens of thousands of people but we would still lose elections.
“We may be victorious on the east coast but we could not get a hold of the west coast. So it is even harder for us to move towards forming a federal government.
“Like in Kedah, if the population composition is similar to Kelantan, we would have won (the state) a long time ago. But the group that has the determining power is not the Malays.
“So why do we go into elections – do we want to win or lose? Do we go into elections just for the sake of doing it, or to gain pahala (afterlife rewards), or we want to win?” he asked.
Phahrolrazi (above) said PAS at the time needed strategic cooperation to ensure they could get wider support.
“So, there was the need to have a strategy, to make changes. We could not work with MCA then because they were already with BN, Umno. So, the only one left was DAP.
“But we did put some conditions to work together. First, they must respect the constitution, that Islam is the official religion of the country, Bahasa Melayu is the official language and respect the Malay rulers.
“If they can accept these, then the issue of fair treatment is a common issue.
“We also reject corruption. But when it comes to the special rights of the Malays, about Bahasa Melayu, Islam, can they accept? If they say they can accept these things in the constitution, then what is wrong (to work together with them)?
“And we have seen the result of this, we started to win. We had recorded victories since 1999, and our principle is that we cannot stand on our own. We must work with other parties,” said Phahrolrazi who used to hold a state exco post in Kedah during former state menteri besar Azizan Razak’s leadership.
The politician said such cooperation had started since PAS worked together with the now defunct Semangat 46 party, which managed to wrestle Kelantan.
“So, this thing has been going on from one stage to another. If we were to continue this, PAS would be able to eventually take over the country’s administration.
“So, Umno as PAS’ political enemy, do you think they just want to sit and watch this happen? Because if this was allowed to go on, then Umno would lose out.
“If I were Umno, do you think I would just sit around and see this happen? Of course not.
“I will find ways to break up Pakatan Rakyat. And they did many attempts during the time of Nik Aziz and Fadzil but they could not break us apart.
“Because of the politics of Fadzil, he was not an extremist who would go to the extent of calling Umno an infidel. He was like that.
“Also similar was Nik Aziz. But when one is too extreme, then we can fall down easily. This was what happened when they were gone because Umno had made a move to break up the coalition,” said Phahrolrazi.
He added that if Hadi were to follow the same policy practised by Fadzil and Nik Aziz, PAS and Pakatan Rakyat could have formed a federal government together.
“We are puzzled with Hadi’s political mindset, he turned 180 degrees. If Hadi were to follow the same policy, I think we would have been the government.
“He could have been a prime minister even, that is not impossible. He was once featured in an international magazine as one of Malaysia’s future leaders,” Phahrolrazi said.
However, he added, it was somewhat regrettable to see a split in PAS, which was caused by political ploys by party enemies whom some had mistaken as friends.
“One of the factors that could easily bring people down is money. Money is the evil that breaks people apart.
“And there are many subtle ways for (the enemies) to use money and they usually involve a huge amount,” he said.

One of a plant lover’s greatest pleasures is discovering a species that thrives in a place where it has no business growing, at least according to accepted wisdom regarding that species’ growth requirements. I think this may be a reflection of the rebelliousness that characterizes plant lovers and growers as a group. If we are told that a certain plant cannot grow in a certain place because of an inhospitable climate, for example, we immediately start figuring out a way that, nevertheless, this plant could grow there. Entire agricultural industries based on what were considered exotic tree crops for California at the time – including avocado, date, and pistachio – were founded by individuals who defied skeptics in planting certain trees where no one believed they could grow.
It was thus with distinct pleasure that I received a communication from Jeff Ashley in Studio City regarding an unusual tree, for this part of the world, that is thriving in his front yard. It is a red oak (Quercus rubra) nearly 50 feet tall and 50 feet wide with a trunk diameter of two and a half feet. It is at least 75 years old and could be older. I had never seen a red oak in Southern California before. Its habitat is the East, the Midwest, and the Southeast, and we can only speculate as to how this tree ended up in Ashley’s front yard.
I wonder if local nurseries in the 1940s and 1950s grew trees from the East and Midwest, which is where many Studio City residents of the time had probably previously lived. Perhaps they wanted to grow red oaks on account of the brilliant scarlet fall foliage that they remembered from back home. Alas, Ashley informed me that his tree’s foliage, while turning gold, does not display the red color from which it gets its name.
This might also explain why more red oaks were not planted; once they failed in the fall color department, perhaps people decided to plant other trees instead. Although shortening days are a signal for leaves of many deciduous trees such as red oak to change color, fall temperatures (ours are too warm) and soil pH (ours is too alkaline) are also critical factors in foliar color change where deciduous oaks are concerned.
It might also have been the case, however, that other red oaks that were planted simply did not survive the dry Southern California climate. Ashley speculates with good reason that the microclimate enjoyed by his red oak has contributed significantly to its robust growth. Immediately to the west of his tree, a towering liquidambar tree is growing in the parkway, while a California sycamore of immense size is flourishing just across the street. These trees clearly provide protection from the harsh afternoon sun and take the edge off the dry heat foreign to the red oak’s habitat.
We can learn a lesson from Ashley’s red oak about the importance of microclimate, especially in these droughty times. Shade or just protection from afternoon sun can do wonders when it comes to coping with drought since it will reduce water loss from leaves of nearby plants and from the soil in which they grow. A side benefit of trees is their leaves, which can be piled as high as four inches to bring soil water loss to a bare minimum and keep roots cool.
Incidentally, one of the most desirable Studio City streets from the standpoint of arboreal beauty is Cantura Street, one block south of Ventura Boulevard. Both sides of the street are lined with California sycamores. Are there unusual or memorable trees in your past or present? If so, you are invited to write to me about them.
If you are looking for trees that do change color, there is a variety from which to choose even if, as luck would have it, each of them is somewhat problematic.
Liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua) foliage turns the classic gold, orange, red, and burgundy that we associate with fall color but, as it ages, its surface root system makes it impossible to grow anything in its vicinity.
Chinese tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum), of moderate size, has striking, unparalleled iridescent foliage in the colors noted above but, alas, is shapeless when mature and produces slippery, hazardous fruits. In its early years, however, there is no more exquisite tree to have around for fall color. Chinese pistache (Pistacia chinensis) may have the most brilliant orange and scarlet fall color of any tree. Its berries, however, are messy, staining sidewalks, and if you give it too much water it will die from Verticillium fungus that enters and clogs its roots. However, Chinese pistache is an excellent selection for a drought-tolerant landscape.
Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana var. Bradford) has the most brilliant burgundy fall foliage of any tree, but its clusters of branches grow out from a single point and their breakage is a constant concern. The foliage of birch (Betula spp.) and willow (Salix babylonica) trees turns a pleasant golden color, but as two of the most water-needy trees, the wisdom of planting them is now questionable, in addition to the fact that willows are short-lived in any case due to early death from foliar fungus diseases.
Probably the two most reliable trees for golden fall color are Modesto ash (Fraxinus velutina var. Modesto), although it can occasionally defoliate due to disease, and ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), as long as your plant the male ginkgo since the female produces slippery, malodorous fruit.
California Native of the Week: Island oak (Quercus tomentella), indigenous to the Channel Islands and Guadalupe Island off of Baja California, has a more lush demeanor than most other native trees and easily withstands a frost. Sunset Western Garden Book calls it “the handsomest of California’s evergreen oaks.” It exhibits strong and rapid vertical growth, reaching a height of around 50 feet and thrives in full to partial sun with a minimum of water, although it will be a bit thirstier grown inland than near the coast.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- India's standby players will join the team in Australia for T20 World Cup
- India have named 4 standby players for the ICC event
- India will kick off their campaign against Pakistan on October 23
India's four standby players for the 2022 T20 World Cup will join the team in Australia right from day 1. Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Chahar, Shreyas Iyer and Mohammed Shami have been named as 4 standby for the ICC events and they will board the plane to Australia along with the Rohit Sharma-led side.
As per Cricbuzz, it has been confirmed that the standby players will fly to Australia. The standby players don't often travel with the team but this time, the board has decided that it will take the reserve players. Since the standby players will be in Australia, there will be no delay in getting a replacement if the need arises.
Chahar and Shami missed out narrowly from making it to the WC squad. Since Chahar can make all-round contributions like Hardik Pandya, he was expected to make it to the squad but missed out.

On the other hand, Shami was expected to pip Arshdeep Singh. But the selectors preferred the left-arm pacer. Bishnoi had bleak chances of making his return as Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin were confirmed selections in the squad.
There were no surprises in the squad and Rohit Sharma will be leading the team in an ICC event for the first time in his career.
Before the WC, Shami and Chahar will link up with the T20I squad as they have been named in the team for Australia and South Africa series.

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday alleged that communal forces who had no role in the integration of Hyderabad State into Indian Union are trying to divide Telangana society by spreading hatred.
Without naming the BJP, he said the disruptive elements were trying to distort Telangana’s history by giving it a communal colour for their narrow political interests.
The Chief Minister was addressing the ‘Telangana National Integration Day’ celebrations organised to mark accession of erstwhile Hyderabad State with the Indian Union.
He said certain divisive forces who had nothing to do with history and developments of the past are trying to pollute the bright history of Telangana and derail its development with petty politics.
KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known, hoisted the tricolour and addressed the gathering at Public Gardens a couple of hours after Union Home Minister Amit Shah unfurled the national flag and reviewed a parade in the city at an event organised by the Union Culture Ministry.
While the Union government organised official celebrations as ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’, the Telangana government celebrated the occasion as ‘Telangana National Integration Day’.
Union Culture Minister G. Kishan Reddy had invited the Chief Ministers of Telangana, Karnataka, and Maharashtra for the celebrations. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde attended the celebrations while Karnataka was represented by its Transport Minister B. Sriramulu. KCR, however, stayed away and no one was present from the state government.
Hyderabad State, which comprised Telangana and parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka, acceded to the Indian Union on September 17, 1948 following India’s military operation codenamed ‘Operation Polo’.
KCR voiced concern over the attempts to spew venom and create communal divide in the country and in the peaceful and progressive state of Telangana.
He said that if religious fanaticism grows, it will destroy the very life of the nation and result in deterioration of human relationships. “For their narrow interests, they plant thorns in societal relations. They are spreading hatred among people with their venomous comments. This kind of division between people is in no way justified,” he said
KCR cautioned people against the designs of the communal and divisive forces. He said people of Telangana should remain alert and foil the designs of those who want to create hatred.
Stressing the need for people to remain cautious, he said that Telangana itself is an example to understand how things would take a bad turn if the people are unmindful. “Telangana has lived a cursed life for 58 years due to a mistake that happened in the past,” he said in an obvious reference to the merger of Telangana with then Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh. He said that people had to sacrifice lives and languish in jails to achieve a separate state.
Stating that Telangana made all-round progress during the last eight years, KCR said some forces were trying to vitiate the peaceful environment in Telangana and create unrest in the state which is marching ahead on the path of progress and prosperity.
KCR, who earlier paid tributes at Telangana Martyrs’ Memorial, recalled the sacrifices made by freedom fighters of Telangana. He said people unitedly fought against the autocratic rule to usher in democracy.

Mark Reynolds denies Partick Thistle with late brace
Mark Reynolds’ late double rescued a point for Cove Rangers as they drew 2-2 with Partick Thistle.
Thistle were 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go before Reynolds scored twice in four minutes, but the point was enough for Partick to go top of the Scottish Championship on goal difference.
Thistle took the lead in the 16th minute when Steven Lawless smashed the ball into the top corner.
Jack McMillan came close for Partick but his effort was saved before Cove had a chance of their own, with Aaron Muirhead making a good tackle to deny Mitch Megginson.
Stuart Bannigan doubled Partick’s lead six minutes after the break, firing into the bottom corner.
Rangers then pulled one back in the 80th minute through Reynolds, who poked home, and they nearly found an instant equaliser but Megginson’s shot was saved.
Cove levelled four minutes later when Thistle were unable to clear a corner and Reynolds hit home a volley.

Results from largest randomized TAVR trial to date presented at TCT 2022
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX) has announced results from the PROTECTED TAVR clinical trial evaluating the SENTINEL™ Cerebral Protection System, which is designed to capture and remove embolic debris stemming from transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) before it can reach the brain and potentially cause a stroke. Outcomes were presented during a late-breaking clinical science session at the 34th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, in Boston, and will be published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
This randomized trial evaluated periprocedural stroke reduction and neurologic outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis treated with either the SENTINEL device to provide cerebral embolic protection (CEP) during TAVR or TAVR alone. The primary endpoint was not met, as the data demonstrated a non-significant trend towards a lower rate of stroke in patients treated with the SENTINEL device, representing a 21% relative risk reduction in all stroke through 72 hours or time of hospital discharge (2.3% with TAVR and CEP vs. 2.9% with TAVR only, P=0.30). Importantly, a secondary analysis demonstrated a statistically significant 60% relative risk reduction in disabling stroke through 72 hours or time of hospital discharge in patients treated with the SENTINEL device (0.5% with TAVR and CEP vs. 1.3% with TAVR only, P=0.02).
"Data from the PROTECTED TAVR trial provide the physician community with evidence that the device plays an important role in reducing disabling strokes across patient types in those undergoing TAVR," said Dr. Samir Kapadia, chairman of the Robert and Suzanne Tomsich Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute, Cleveland Clinic. "We also found that the rate of vascular complications in this trial was very low, whether or not the device was used, highlighting the safety of this technology in TAVR procedures."
While outcomes with TAVR for the treatment of aortic stenosis have been shown to be comparable to surgery, stroke remains an important and feared complication of the procedure. Representing the largest randomized TAVR trial to date, the study enrolled 3,000 patients spanning more than 50 global sites and all surgical risk levels, with all patients receiving a neurological exam before and after the procedure. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that the reduction in disabling stroke with the SENTINEL device was consistent across patient subgroups, including age, gender, operative risk, valve type and history of cardiovascular disease.
"Considering strokes are unpredictable, can occur regardless of an individual's clinical background and often take a great toll on a patient's quality-of-life and financial stability, we believe the data appear to demonstrate a consistent effect from CEP technology across all patient populations in the trial – supporting the use of the SENTINEL device as an effective therapy to reduce the risk of the most debilitating form of stroke for patients undergoing TAVR," said Dr. Ian Meredith, global chief medical officer, Boston Scientific. "We look forward to additional data on this technology such as from the currently enrolling PROTECT TAVI trial in the United Kingdom, which will similarly evaluate TAVR-related stroke reduction using the SENTINEL device."
Previous clinical trials involving more than 3,500 patients have demonstrated that the SENTINEL device is safe and effective, including capture and removal of cerebral embolic debris in 99% of TAVR cases.1 To date, more than 75,000 patients worldwide have been protected with this technology.

QPR and Stoke draw a blank
QPR and Stoke played out a 0-0 draw in a Sky Bet Championship match of few clear-cut chances at Loftus Road.
Stoke had the better of the first half, with Dwight Gayle in the thick of the action. The Potters striker had an early goal disallowed for offside, shaved the top of the bar with a free-kick and dragged a shot wide of the target as the visitors caused Rangers some problems.
But Gayle, who later faded from the game and was substituted in the second half, has now failed to score in 38 appearances – a run stretching back to December 2020.
Apart from an effort by Stefan Johansen, which was comfortably saved by goalkeeper Josef Bursik, QPR offered very little before the interval.
That prompted boss Mick Beale to make an attacking change at half-time, sending striker Lyndon Dykes on in place of midfielder Andre Dozzell.
Rangers responded with a lively start to the second half, with Dykes’ shot deflected wide and Kenneth Paal having a shot blocked before Bursik produced a fine save to deny Jimmy Dunne at point-blank range after the centre-back had been found by Ilias Chair,
Scotland international Dykes was clearly keen to make an impact, having recently been dropped from the starting line-up after managing just one goal this season and missing a number of chances.
He sent another effort wide as the home side tried in vain to break the deadlock, but Stoke defended well and deserved at least a point.
Chair should have done better with a header from Paal’s cross, and the impressive Bursik produced another important save, this time at his near post to deny Ethan Laird after the on-loan Manchester United right-back had robbed Tariqe Fosu.
Having won three of their previous four matches, the dropped points at home will be a disappointment for Rangers.
Stoke, meanwhile, look to be making steady progress under Alex Neil, who picked up his first victory at the helm in midweek at Hull.
Four points from two games and back-to-back clean sheets is an encouraging return for the new boss, whose team almost snatched a late winner when Aden Flint’s firm header was pushed over by keeper Seny Dieng, before Tyrese Campbell fired wide in stoppage time.

When Bobby Hurley came to Duke, he had some natural rivals. Kenny Anderson, who was in his class, was at Georgia Tech. Chris Corchiani was at NC State. Charlie Ward was quarterbacking the football and basketball teams for Florida State and King Rice tormented him for a time at UNC.
Ultimately, Hurley surpassed them all.
He was ferociously competitive and daring. He had many great plays at Duke, including the famous three pointer against UNLV and the almost too high alley oop to Grant Hill in the championship game against Kansas.
The greatest play we ever saw came in a holiday game when it didn’t much matter: he chased a loose ball into the stands at Cameron, jumped, caught it and turned - and hit a teammate streaking to the basket.
Sadly and through no fault of his own, Hurley was involved in a terrifying accident in his rookie season with the Sacramento Kings. It nearly took his life and cost him his NBA career.
When he was healthy though, there was no one quite like him. He was a superb point guard and still holds the NCAA record for assists. He graduated in 1993, so that’s a record that’s stood for nearly 30 years.

St Helens 19 Salford 12
History beckons for defending champions St Helens, who will bid to win an unprecedented fourth successive Grand when they face Leeds Rhinos at Old Trafford next Saturday.
Kristian Woolf’s men were too strong for an unfancied Salford side who have emerged as a respected force this season.
Two first-half tries from second-rower Joe Batchelor laid the platform but the architect of victory was England playmaker Jonny Lomax, who had a hand in all three of their tries.
Now Saints will face a Rhinos side with whom they share the record of three consecutive Grand Final victories, the men from Headingley having achieved the feat between 2007 and 2009.
That Leeds beat St Helens in all three of those games – and have won four title deciders against them – adds intrigue to next weekend’s clash.
Australian Woolf, who bade an emotional farewell to fans in his last home game ahead of an end-of-season return the NRL, said: “We‘ve got the class to beat anyone and it’s going to be a cracking game against Leeds on the big stage.”
Batchelor’s first-half converted double and a Lomax drop goal gave Saints a 13-6 lead, with Kallum Watkins replying for Salford.
Ryan Brierley brought Salford back within a point in the second half with a superb breakaway score.
Jon Bennison touched down late on to ensure the job was done for Saints, who had England World Cup hopeful Morgan Knowles sinbinned for an ugly challenge on Chris Atkin.
That could see Knowles banned for the Grand Final but Woolf insisted: “I’d be flabbergasted if anything came of that.”
Salford, already missing key playmaker Brodie Croft, lost hooker Andy Ackers to concussion early on and head coach Paul Rowley said: “Overall we didn’t throw enough at Saints and we weren’t as clinical as weeks gone by. You can’t question the character, though.”

Heavily pregnant Charlotte Crosby said she hasn't thought about giving birth because she's been "too busy worrying" about her mum Letitia Crosby, after her cancer diagnosis.
The reality TV star, 32, is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Jake Ankers, also 32, and has been documenting the pregnancy for a new BBC series about motherhood.
It was during the pregnancy that the Geordie Shore alum's mother Letitia, 53, was diagnosed with breast cancer, with her having recently started undergoing treatment.
Charlotte has explained that her mum's diagnosis has affected her experience with the pregnancy, saying that the family "haven't embraced it as much as [they] could have".
Speaking to the Daily Mail, she commented: "I don't know when it's going to sink in. [...] I'm too busy worrying about my mam so giving birth hasn't even entered my mind."
Charlotte revealed that she has been going to chemotherapy with her mum, which she started last week, following her diagnosis, which came after a routine mammogram.
She added: "We were saying this morning that it's so weird to think that she got diagnosed with cancer while I was pregnant – it's literally been the whole of my pregnancy."

As a result, the reality TV star said they haven't "embraced" the pregnancy like they would have otherwise, but Charlotte added: "When the baby arrives, she'll be really happy."
Letitia opened up about her diagnosis in a post on social media a few weeks ago, with her expressing gratitude for the outpouring of love and support that she's received from fans.
She said it has been a "tough year with a rollercoaster of emotions" and expressed desire to continue to raise awareness around checking your breasts and having mammograms.
Charlotte - who has recently opened up about the difficulty of her third trimester - previously announced that she is expecting a daughter, who's due to be born later this year.
Discussing the documentary, she told the Daily Mail that she will be filming "all the way" up to the arrival of the new addition to her family, teasing that it will include the birth.
She added that she's felt "really calm" about the show, with her explaining: "It's so much like a fly-on-the-wall that sometimes I don't even notice that I'm filming so I'm fine."

A victory that Livingston made look easy, although it almost certainly wasn't.
The effort they put into dominating the first-half was noticeable, once again led by a midfield three that refused to allow their visitors a moment to breathe.
Kilmarnock had a half-chance near the end, a Christian Doidge header that drifted wide. Although it was ultimately harmless, it could have lost Livingston two points that they did not deserve to drop.
All that means is they have to be more clinical up top. No team enjoys going to the Tony Macaroni Arena but, as Motherwell showed last season, it is possible to nick a result.

ISTANBUL, Sept 17 (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said
he was targeting membership of the Shanghai Cooperation
Organisation (SCO) for NATO-member Turkey, broadcaster NTV and
other media said on Saturday.
He was speaking to reporters after attending the SCO summit
in Uzbekistan before heading to the United States.
"Our relations with these countries will be moved to a much
different position with this step," Erdogan said.
"When asked if he meant membership of the SCO, he said, "Of
course, that's the target".
Turkey is currently a dialogue partner of the SCO, whose
members are China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Amid bilateral discussions at the summit, Erdogan had talks
with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Erdogan said Turkey
and Russia had reached a deal resolving a dispute over a nuclear
power plant being built at Akkuyu in southern Turkey.
NTV reported Erdogan as saying that the Turkish contractor
IC Ictas had been reinstated in the project, confirming comments
by two sources to Reuters on Friday.
Last month, the Russian state nuclear energy company
Rosatom, which is running the project, terminated its contract
with IC Ictas over what it called "numerous violations".
"God willing we will be able to finish and inaugurate the
first (Akkuyu) unit in 2023," Erdogan added.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols hit his 698th home run, a tying two-run drive in the sixth inning that sparked the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 on Friday night.
Pujols hit a first-pitch slider from Raynel Espinal 427 feet into the left-field stands for his 19th home run this season, tying the score 4-4. Pujols trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) on the career list.
“It’s just being out there and contributing to this ballclub and this organization,” Pujols said. “I think just getting every opportunity that I’ve been getting, especially lately, and just trying to help this ballclub to win.”
With 2,203 RBIs, the 42-year-old Pujols moved within 11 of Ruth for second, behind Aaron’s 2,297.
Ryan Helsley struck out Kyle Farmer, Jake Fraley and Donovan Solano on nine pitches for his 18th save in 22 chances, the third immaculate inning in Cardinals history after Bob Gibson in 1969 and Jason Isringhausen in 2002.
“That’s pretty cool history to be a part of,” Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner said. “I could tell from his first pitch, Helsley, I was like, ‘OK, he’s ready to go.'”
Pujols is hitting .324 (45 for 139) with 15 homers and 35 RBIs in 47 games since July 10. Five of his last six home runs have come in the sixth inning or later, and his last five homers have tied the game or put St. Louis ahead.
“He continues to do it in meaningful situations,” “That was a big swing,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “It’d be one thing if he was just chasing it, but the thing is he’s taking an unbelievable approach and delivering when we need it most.”
Pujols hit a drive to T.J. Friedl at the left-field wall in the seventh. He is in his 22nd major league season and intends to retire at the end of the season.
“This feels like a playoff atmosphere with the fans and the last year of myself and Yadi,” Pujols said, referring to catcher Yadier Molina. “I think everybody’s really excited about it, and I think for us we just try to go out there, play the game, and just enjoy it.”
St. Louis (85-60), which maintained a 7 1/2-game lead over second-place Milwaukee in the NL Central, has 17 games remaining.
After Farmer homered off JoJo Romero to give Cincinnati a 5-4 lead in the seventh, Brandon Donovan walked against Ian Gibaut (1-2) leading off the bottom half, and Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado followed with consecutive RBI doubles.
“These games are fun to play in,” Reds manager David Bell said. “Our team literally gave everything they had to win that game. Obviously, when you do that it’s disappointing, but there’s no question that that’s how you play this game and that pays off.”
Chris Stratton (9-4) got the final out of the seventh. Cardinals starter Jack Flaherty allowed four runs, six hits, two walks and two hit batters in five innings.
Goldschmidt doubled twice and got his 111th RBI.
Reds starter Fernando Cruz, wearing No. 21 to honor Roberto Clemente, retired his first five batters as an opener before hitting Pujols with a pitch and coming out of the game.
ARMS OF CHAMPIONS
Pitcher Jason Motte of the 2011 champion Cardinals and goaltender Jordan Binnington of the 2019 Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues threw out ceremonial first pitches.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: RHP Hunter Greene (right shoulder strain) will be activated off the injured list to start the night game of Saturday’s doubleheader, his first start since Aug. 1 at Miami.
Cardinals: OF Dylan Carlson (sprained left thumb) started in center field for Triple-A Memphis Friday night at Iowa and hit a pair of doubles in three at bats. He is expected to start for Memphis Saturday and Sunday and could rejoin the big league club Tuesday.
UP NEXT
RHP Dakota Hudson (7-7, 4.43 ERA) will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis to start Saturday’s day game against LHP Mike Minor (4-11, 5.78 ERA) who has not won a start against St. Louis since Aug. 25, 2013 while pitching for Atlanta. LHP José Quintana (5-6, 3.34 ERA), who starts the night game, is 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA in nine starts sincehe was acquired from Pittsburgh on Aug. 1.

Washington [US], September 17 (ANI): A higher risk of cancer mortality has been found in incarcerated adults and among those diagnosed with cancer in the first year after release from prison, according to new research from Yale Cancer Center.
The findings are published in the journal PLOS ONE.

"Cancer is the leading cause of death among people in prison, accounting for about 30 per cent of all deaths, and yet the complex relationship between incarceration and cancer survival had not been thoroughly evaluated," said Dr. Emily Wang, professor of medicine (General Medicine) and of public health (Social and Behavioral Sciences) and senior author of the study. She is also director of the SEICHE Center for Health and Justice at Yale.
The study compared data using a statewide link between tumor registry and correctional system data for adults in Connecticut diagnosed with invasive cancer from 2005 through 2016.
After accounting for demographics and cancer characteristics, including the stage of diagnosis, the risk for cancer-related death at five years was significantly higher among those diagnosed while incarcerated and those recently released compared to the remainder of the population.
"This is a call to action," said co-author Dr. Cary Gross, professor of medicine (General Medicine) and of epidemiology (Chronic Diseases), and founding director of the Cancer Outcomes, Public Policy and Effectiveness Research (COPPER) Center at Yale School of Medicine. "Cancer prevention and treatment efforts should target people while in prison and identify why incarceration is associated with worse outcomes."
Those diagnosed with invasive cancer while incarcerated and within one year after release were also more likely to be younger, male, and non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic. Cancers originating from the gastrointestinal system were the most common cancers in this population, followed by lung and prostate cancer, and leukaemia and lymphoma.
"Possible reasons for the high risk of death include having limited access to high-quality cancer care, access to palliative care, and attention to patient's social determinants of health, including social support and food," said Wang.
While prior studies have identified the association between incarceration and cancer survival time, this study illuminates the immediate post-release period as a particularly high-risk period.
"Our findings highlight the value and importance of transition centers for individuals released from carceral settings, the significant barriers associated with cancer care include screening, timely primary care, housing and food security, employment and other structural barriers faced by those re-integrating into society," said lead author Dr. Oluwadamilola Oladeru, an assistant professor of radiation oncology at the University of Florida. Oladeru is also the co-clinical leader of the University of Florida Breast Center.
"Primary care for people recently released from correctional systems should include screening for treatable cancers, evaluation of symptoms, and addressing social determinants to mitigate these disparities in cancer related deaths," said Gross. "Our findings may also be pertinent to other state prison systems as the national data reveal that cancer is now the leading cause of death among incarcerated individuals." (ANI)

Neal Maupay is convinced Everton ‘have everything’ they need to get ‘back on track’
While other players stretch out, chat, listen to music or browse the match schedule, Everton striker Neal Maupay will have his head in a book ahead of today’s kick-off against West Ham.
His current book is a French study on psychology translated as “The Five Wounds That Prevent You From Being Yourself.”
It may sound tough, but for the 26-year-old striker it’s the perfect way to relax before a big game at Goodison, as his new club look for their first win of the season.
Neal Maupay was a special guest at an Everton in the Community Premier League Primary Stars session focused on literacy
“It’s not to motivate myself, it’s just good to have something that makes time pass quickly without having to think too much about the game. Two hours of waiting is a long time from the moment you get to the stadium, so I’m reading,” he explains.
“This particular book is interesting. The brain is interesting. There is much to learn. People always seem surprised that football players read, but we went to school!’
Maupay joined from Brighton in the final week of the summer transfer window for £15million, making his debut in the scoreless Merseyside derby two weeks ago.
The 26-year-old admitted he loved reading to kill time spent in the stadiums before kick-off
He was signed to give Frank Lampard an extra scoring opportunity after Richarlison’s departure, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin had only just returned from injury.
Maupay, who was born in Versailles but grew up in Nice, can see the Merseysiders follow the upward trajectory he experienced in Brighton under Graham Potter.
“Football is changing. Just because you struggled yesterday doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t be good,” he says.
“I was in that process of a new manager and players at Brighton. We had two tough seasons, we finished 15th and 16th, then the good (9th). Building takes time.
Maupay arrived at Goodison Park in the final week of the transfer window for £15m
“I really believe that’s the case at Everton. We have everything and I see it as a step up for me, it’s one of the biggest clubs in England.
“We haven’t had any wins yet, but I see positives. We won in Brentford and Leeds, drew with Liverpool. I think it’s only a matter of time before we turn these draws into wins.”
Maupay has been Brighton’s top scorer every season he has been there, including a sensational bicycle kick against current opponents last December.
His busy nature will also appeal to Evertonians.
“I understand the weight of the shirt and how much you have to fight for it,” he emphasizes. ‘That’s who I am. When I do something, I do it 100%.
Maupay was Brighton’s top scorer in every season he spent at the Amex Stadium
“Yes, I run a lot, but I will score goals, provide assists, fight and do everything to help the team.
‘I am someone who needs challenges. I can get bored pretty easily and after three seasons in Brighton, where I feel like I gave it my all, maybe I needed something new.
“To play for Everton and get the club back on track is a great challenge.”
Ironically, he will be reunited with West Hams’ Said Benrahma on Sunday – the pair are close friends who started together at Nice’s academy and later became teammates at Brentford.
Maupay and Said Benrahma played together in both Nice and Brentford
The immediate priority is to get points on the board and Maupay believes he can play with Calvert-Lewin rather than the pair fighting for one position.
‘We can play together because we are completely different in terms of characteristics,’ he reasons. “He’s very tall, strong, he spends a lot of time in the penalty area, while my game falls more short and falls behind.
‘I’ve played with strikers like him before; Danny Welbeck in Brighton, Ollie Watkins in Brentford. I can play as a No9 or with someone else.’
Maupay saw Potter grow into a manager who was subsequently picked up by Chelsea. Lampard will have his own style, but the player has been impressed so far.
‘Every manager is different. From what I’ve seen so far, Lampard has a very clear idea of how we should play. He is also close to his players.
“I wasn’t surprised Chelsea wanted Potter because he did well in Brighton, especially on a smaller budget and selling players like Ben White.
“He will need time and the question is whether he will get it at Chelsea. You have to be successful at such clubs right away. If he gets time, he will do well.”
Everton’s immediate priorities are more modest, as they will happily avoid another nail-biting relegation battle this season.
The French striker praised Frank Lampard’s close relationship with his Everton players
Yet they are the biggest club Maupay has played for and he is happy to embrace it.
“The fans come to the stadium or travel every week, the least we can do is give them everything,” he says.
“When you walk down the street and they say ‘thank you’, it means a lot because our work isn’t just about playing football – we can influence people’s lives too.”
Fittingly, Maupay turns to see a drawing of a child on the classroom bulletin board as he wraps up the interview at St. Lawrence Elementary School as part of Everton’s Community Literacy Program. It is titled Think Positive.
The former Brighton and Brentford attacker made his debut against in the Merseyside derby
Neal Maupay and Dwight McNeil were special guests at an Everton in the Community Premier League Primary Stars literacy-themed session given to children from Kirkdale St Lawrence Primary School, just a mile from Goodison Park.
The program uses the appeal of the Premier League and Everton Football Club to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills.
Everton’s award-winning charity is promising to give schools in the L4 zip code free access to the Primary Stars program this year.
The gesture aims to bridge the gap in education equality, with Liverpool’s Kirkdale district in the bottom five percent of disadvantaged areas nationally.
The program is currently being rolled out across 61 schools in Merseyside, the highest level of engagement since its launch in 2017.

ROCHESTER — Hundreds of children dug into a section of Third Avenue Southwest Saturday morning as construction of the new Discovery Walk paused for the weekend.
With the portion of the street between Fourth and Fifth streets under construction, staff from the Destination Medical Center Economic Development Agency hosted the Big Dig, along with partners that included the city and Knutson Construction.
The Saturday morning event provided the opportunity for families to climb into construction equipment, dig into a large sandpile and take part in a variety of related art activities in an area being transformed into a linear parkway.
By 10 a.m., hundreds of children's hard hats and vests were distributed, and more familes continued to arrive for the event that planned through 11;30 p.m.
Discovery Walk, which is expected to be completed next year, will be a linear parkway along Second Avenue Southwest, connecting the Mayo Clinic campus to Soldiers Field Park.

NEW YORK — The global movement by governments and automakers to boost electrification of cars does not mean ethanol will be dead as a product, according to an executive of one of the world's largest producers of the biofuel.
Beyond the demand that will continue to exist in countries that produce the biofuel and where adoption of EVs is seen as slower, such as Brazil and India, there are industries that will need to use biofuels to reduce emissions where electrification is not a feasible option, said Paula Kovarsky, chief strategy officer at Brazil's Raízen SA.
In an interview late on Tuesday in New York, where she is for the cycle of climate conferences in the coming week, Kovarsky said that so-called 'hard to abate' sectors such as shipping and commercial aviation are strong targets for the future of biofuels, as well as electric cars that could use fuel cells for conversion of ethanol into hydrogen to move electric motors.
"I imagine that for automakers, in the same electric car model that would have a battery in Europe or the U.S., they could change that battery for a fuel cell in Brazil or India and use ethanol," she said.
Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen are among car manufacturers developing the hybrid technology that uses ethanol to produce hydrogen inside the car, the gas that in turn will feed the electric motor.
Experts believe that makes sense for places like Brazil where there is a broad ethanol distribution system. But since car manufactures have global production plans, there are doubts if they would produce cars for the needs of specific regions.
Kovarsky sees potential for ethanol to be used in sustainable aviation fuel or as a bio bunker fuel for vessels — areas where batteries and electrification would be hard to use.

US-UK relations enter new chapter as new PM, king settle in
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden headed to the United Kingdom on Saturday to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II at a time of transition in US-UK relations, as both a new royal and a new prime minister are settling in.
The hawkish approach of Prime Minister Liz Truss to Russia and China puts her on the same page as Biden. But the rise of Truss, 47, who once called the US-UK relationship “special but not exclusive,” could mark a decidedly new chapter in the trans-Atlantic partnership on trade and more.
Of high concern for Biden officials in the early going of Truss’s premiership is her backing of legislation that would shred parts of the post-Brexit trading arrangements in Northern Ireland. Analysts say the move could cause deep strain between the UK and the European Union, and undermine peace in Northern Ireland. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the move “would not create a conducive environment” for crafting a long-awaited U.S.-UK trade deal coveted by Truss and her Conservative Party.
“She’s signaled that she’s willing to go to the mattresses on this and that’s going to cause a rift not just between the UK and EU, but the UK and the U.S.,” said Max Bergmann, director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington and a former senior State Department official in the Obama administration. “It’s one that’s going to keep the White House up at night.”
Biden and Truss had been set to meet Sunday, but the prime minister’s office said Saturday they would skip the weekend hello, opting instead for a meeting at the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, though Truss still planned to gather with other world leaders converging on London for the royal funeral. The White House confirmed the U.N. meeting just as the president boarded Air Force One.
The two close allies now find themselves in a period of political uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic. Not unlike his fellow septuagenarian Biden, King Charles III faces questions from the public about whether his age will limit his ability to faithfully carry out the duties of the monarch.
Charles, 73, and Biden, 79, discussed global cooperation on the climate crisis last year while both attended a summit in Glasgow, Scotland. They also met at Buckingham Palace in June 2021 at a reception the queen hosted before a world leaders’ summit in Cornwall.
Truss finds herself, as Biden does, facing questions about whether she has what it takes to lift a country battered by stubborn inflation borne out of the coronavirus pandemic and exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine unleashing chaos on the global energy market.
All the while, Britain — and the rest of Europe — is carefully watching to see what the upcoming U.S. midterm elections will bring for the Democratic American president after he vowed upon taking office that “America is back” to being a full partner in the international community after four years of Republican Donald Trump pushing his “America First” worldview.
“It certainly is a time of change and transformation in the UK,” said Barbara A. Perry, presidential studies director at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. She added, “We don’t know what will happen in our midterms. We don’t know what will happen in 2024.”
Truss, a former accountant who was first elected to Parliament in 2010, hasn’t had much interaction with Biden. The U.S. president called her earlier this month to congratulate her. Truss, as foreign secretary, accompanied her predecessor, Boris Johnson, on a White House visit last year.
It’s been more than 75 years since Winston Churchill declared there was a “special relationship” between the two nations, a notion that leaders on both sides have repeatedly affirmed. Still, there have been bumps along the way.
Tony Blair was derisively branded by the British tabloids as George W. Bush’s “poodle” for backing the 2003 American-led invasion of Iraq. David Cameron and Barack Obama had a “bromance,” but Obama also had his frustrations with the Brits over defense spending and the UK’s handling of Libya following the 2011 ouster of Muammar Gaddafi.
Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan forged a close alliance in the midst of the Cold War, with the prime minister once telling students that the Republican president’s “really good sense of humor” helped their relationship. But there were difficulties too, such as when Thatcher and members of her Cabinet bristled at the Reagan administration’s initial neutrality in the Falklands War.
The White House wasn’t expecting Truss’s announcement in May, when she was foreign secretary, that the government would move forward with legislation that would rewrite parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol. The agreement was part of the UK’s 2020 Brexit withdrawal from the EU that was designed to avoid a hard north-south border with Ireland that might upset Northern Ireland’s fragile peace.
Now, in the first weeks of Truss’s premiership, Biden administration officials are carefully taking the measure of the new British leader. Analysts say there is some trepidation in the administration that undercutting the Northern Ireland protocol could plunge Europe into trade turmoil at a moment when Biden is working mightily to keep the West unified in confronting Russia over its aggression against Ukraine.
“Brexit could once again become the issue -- the issue that can make it difficult for all of Europe to work together at a time when it is critical for Europe to work together,” Bergmann said. “If you’re the Biden administration, this is not the time for the two of your closest partners getting into fights.”
To be certain, there were areas of friction between Biden and Johnson, who had a warm rapport with former President Donald Trump.
Biden staunchly opposed Brexit as a candidate and had expressed great concern over the future of Northern Ireland. Biden once even derided Johnson as a “physical and emotional clone” of Trump.
Johnson worked hard to overcome that impression, stressing his common ground with Biden on climate change, support for international institutions and most notably by making certain Britain was an early and generous member of the U.S.-led alliance providing economic and military assistance to Ukraine in the aftermath of the Russian invasion.
The former prime minister also unsuccessfully pressed Biden starting days into his administration to begin negotiations on a new U.S.-UK trade deal just as the U.K. regained control over its national trade policy weeks before Biden took office and following the end of a post-Brexit transition period.
But Biden largely kept focus on his domestic to-do list in the early going of his presidency—passing trillions in spending on coronavirus relief, infrastructure, and more—and put negotiations on trade deals on the back burner.
Elliot Abrams, chairman of the conservative foreign policy group Vandenberg Coalition, said that Truss needs Biden to make a new U.S.-UK trade deal a priority. Queen Elizabeth’s funeral won’t be the setting for tough bilateral conversations, but it still marks a moment for the two leaders’ to begin taking stock of each other.
Truss, who succeeded Johnson after he was forced to resign in the face of a string of scandals, has lagged in the opinion polls. She also won her election with a smaller margin than her recent predecessors and is looking for an early win.
“I think if I were (Truss), I want recognition of the leading role Britain’s played, far more than any other country outside the United States in supporting Ukraine,” said Abrams, who served in senior national security and foreign policy roles in the Trump, George W. Bush and Reagan administrations. “And I think I’d want some positive economic message to give the British people, which could be that the free trade agreement negotiations are starting.”

Puerto Rico under hurricane watch as Tropical Storm Fiona approaches
Tropical Storm Fiona threatened to dump up to 16 inches of rain in parts of Puerto Rico on Saturday as forecasters placed the U.S. territory under a hurricane watch and people braced for potential landslides, severe flooding and power outages.
The storm previously battered various eastern Caribbean islands, with one death reported in the French territory of Guadeloupe. Regional prefect Alexandre Rochatte told reporters Saturday that the body was found on the side of a road after floods washed away a home in the capital of Basse-Terre. More than 20 other people were rescued amid heavy wind and rain that left 13,000 customers without power.
Fiona was located 145 miles southeast of St. Croix Saturday morning with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. It was moving west at 13 mph on a path forecast to pass near Puerto Rico. Forecasters warned Fiona could be near hurricane strength when it passes through Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Fiona is expected to swipe past the Dominican Republic on Sunday as a potential hurricane and Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands on Monday and Tuesday with the threat of extreme rain.
Forecaster issued a hurricane watch for the southern coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Engaño westward to Cabo Caucedo and for the northern coast from Cabo Engaño westward to Puerto Plata.
In Puerto Rico, authorities opened shelters and closed public beaches, theaters and museums as they urged people to remain indoors.
“It’s time to activate your emergency plan and contact and help your relatives, especially elderly adults who live alone,” said Dr. Gloria Amador, who runs a nonprofit health organization in central Puerto Rico.
At least one cruise ship visit and several flights to the island were canceled, while authorities in the eastern Caribbean islands canceled school and prohibited people from practicing aquatic sports as Fiona battered the region.
In the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, authorities said they recorded wind gusts of up to 74 mph, which would be considered a Category 1 hurricane. They also said 9 inches of rain fell in three hours in the Gros Morne area.
Fiona, which is the Atlantic hurricane season’s sixth named storm, was predicted to bring 5 to 10 inches of rain in eastern and southern Puerto Rico, with as much as 16 inches in isolated spots. Rains of 4 to 8 inches were forecast for the Dominican Republic, with up to 12 inches in places. Life-threatening surf also was possible from Fiona’s winds, forecasters said.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Lester in the eastern Pacific was on a projected path that could bring landfall near the Acapulco area on Mexico's southwestern coast Saturday night.
Lester was expected to remain a tropical storm until hitting the Mexican coast. Forecasters warned of potential dangers from heavy rains.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph late Friday. It was centered 110 miles southeast of Acapulco and moving moving northwest at 10 mph.
A tropical storm warning was up from Puerto Escondido to Zihuatanejo. The hurricane center said Lester could drop from 3 to 6 inches of rain on the coasts of upper Guerrero state and Michoacan state, with isolated areas getting 12 inches.

We receive and publish this contribution from the Il Pungolo Rosso editorial team, and it is already available on their website (see over here):
resume from am work Today, September 13th, a short article providing key news about the state of rail workers in the United States on the frenzy over indefinite extension of working hours – a topic we’ve always raised as structural imperative Imperial capitalism in recent decades by confronting it with the necessity of workers and social Radical and general reduction of working hours. Ch’s article. Pohu is not the best at prose, but he says the basic, regarding workers’ claims in the sector, and shows the bottleneck in which the Biden administration finds itself, which, on the one hand, proclaims its support for labor unions (and indirectly to workers) while on the other it does everything in Its best to prevent it from striking, certainly with rival Republican opponents. However, it is increasingly difficult to find mediation points between large companies in the sector hungry for profit and rail workers exhausted by working hours that waste any space for life outside work. For the anti-American nationalists of Our House, all that concerns the awakening of the American proletariat is of no use, rather exhausting; For us world revolutionaries, this is not of great importance because this is the main force that can undermine from within not only the dominance of the Yankees in the world, but the hegemony of capital (from the “huge pile of goods”) over the producers Paving the way for a world free of exploitation. (red.)
A rail strike threatens to block 30% of US goods from moving as of Friday. $2 billion could evaporate from the US economy every day as the strike continues. Workers are demanding working hours that are more respectful of their private lives.
The power of strikes is to stop the economy. That’s exactly what American railroad workers and mechanics are threatening on Friday. This would be the first national rail strike in more than 30 years.
With the strike, a third of all goods in the country will be suspended, according to CNN Business. In anticipation of the strike, rail freight was already damaged today. Many companies, such as Amtrak, have already eliminated long routes, and some no longer accept dangerous goods that require special and constant monitoring, lest they remain constant. For the unions, these measures are considered a means of pressure and a way to avoid the strike, which is expected to involve 60,000 workers.
This shutdown will create bottlenecks, which will lead to supply difficulties in stores. It can also cause production in factories to stop, as well as higher prices for consumers because of all these elements.
Two billion dollars a day
In the eyes of the unions the rules of use of time. Railroad workers, engineers and train drivers must be present seven days a week, an obligation that leaves them free time, to the detriment of their well-being. It has already led to many resignations (20% of the workforce has left since 2017), which means those who have stayed are being called up semi-systematically as they become available (which could lead to more resignations).
So they want their voice to be heard and the strike appears to be an important factor in the negotiations. Rail operators predict that in the event of a strike, $2 billion will evaporate from the US economy every day.
no escape?
In any case, a strike appears increasingly inevitable. Two months ago, unions threatened to strike, but President Biden imposed a 60-day cooling-off period. During this period, a group of experts considered the situation and made some recommendations, such as bonuses and a 24% salary increase over five years. But these recommendations did not convince all unions.
The cooling off period ends on Friday and is non-renewable, at least not by Biden. Only Congress can impose a new deadline. An agreement between the parties may also be required. A scenario that neither trade unions nor company representatives, even those outside the railways who are affected by possible delays, want for fear of a long and complicated political bargaining. The two parties in the authority must also agree on the actions to be taken, which is not easy.
Either way, this blow comes at the wrong time for Joe Biden. The midterm elections are fast approaching. On the one hand, he will be noted for the economic complications (increase in prices, decrease in activities in the context of the risk of recession, etc.) that can result from a strike, but on the other hand he declares himself a defender of trade unions and workers. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop until Friday.

Suspect in townhome fire turns himself into police
James Oakley Gambrell, Jr. is currently facing charges of attempted murder, arson and menacing with a deadly weapon. He's currently in the Jefferson County Jail.
Golden Police say Gambrell turned himself into the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department at about 11:00 p.m. on Friday, September 16. Gambrell also turned in an AR-15 and a handgun at the time of his arrest.
James Oakley Gambrell Jr., 48, was named the person of interest after police responded to a report of felony menacing as a fire ignited at a townhome in Golden.
According to Golden Police Department, police got to the scene at Table Mountain Townhomes complex just before 3:30 a.m. (17250 West Colfax Avenue) after receiving the call. A neighbor says someone in another unit knocked a hole through the wall and stuck a gun through it. Police found the hole on scene and said they also saw a tactical light shining through the hole.
Officers then knocked the door down of the townhome unit where it was coming from and within seconds watched as fire ignited and window curtains started melting away. First responders back away from the unit and then heard a boom as smoke and flames could be seen.
Police evacuated the building, and within minutes, Golden Fire Department was on scene by about 3:35 a.m. The fire engulfed all of Building A at the complex.
Ultimately, no one was hurt during the initial response.
American Red Cross responded to the scene to help residents find a place to stay. West Metro Fire District, Pleasant View Fire District, Fairmount Fire District, Foothills Fire District and Stadium Medical Services also responded on scene.

The deluge brought on by record monsoon rains and glacial melt in the northern mountains have hit 33 million of a population of 220 million
The World Health Organisation raised the alarm on Saturday about a “second disaster" in the wake of the deadly floods in Pakistan this summer, as doctors and medical workers on the ground race to battle outbreaks of waterborne and other diseases.
The floodwaters started receding this week in the worst-hit provinces but many of the displaced — now living in tents and makeshift camps — increasingly face the threat of gastrointestinal infections, dengue fever and malaria, which are on the rise. The dirty and stagnant waters have become breeding grounds for mosquitos.
The unprecedented monsoon rains since mid-June, which many experts link to climate change, and subsequent flooding have killed 1,545 people across Pakistan, inundated millions of acres of land and affected 33 million people. As many as 552 children have also been killed in the floods.
“I am deeply concerned about the potential for a second disaster in Pakistan: a wave of disease and death following this catastrophe, linked to climate change, that has severely impacted vital health systems leaving millions vulnerable," WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said in a statement.
“The water supply is disrupted, forcing people to drink unsafe water," he said. “But if we act quickly to protect health and deliver essential health services, we can significantly reduce the impact of this impending crisis."
The WHO chief also said that nearly 2,000 health facilities have been fully or partially damaged in Pakistan and urged donors to continue to respond generously so that more lives can be saved.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif left for New York on Saturday to attend the first fully in-person gathering of world leaders at the UN General Assembly since the coronavirus pandemic. Sharif will appeal for more help from the international community to tackle the disaster.
Before his departure, Sharif urged philanthropists and aid agencies to donate baby food for children, along with blankets, clothes and other food items for the flood victims, saying they were desperately waiting for aid.
The southern Sindh and southwestern Baluchistan provinces have been the worst hit — hundreds of thousands in Sindh live now in makeshift homes and authorities say it will take months to completely drain the water in the province.
Nationwide, floods have damaged 1.8 million homes, washed away roads and destroyed nearly 400 bridges, according to the National Disaster Management Authority.
Imran Baluch, head of a government-run district hospital in Jafferabad, in the district of Dera Allah Yar in Baluchistan, said that out of 300 people tested daily, nearly 70% are positive for malaria.
After malaria, typhoid fever and skin infections are most commonly seen among the displaced, living for weeks in unhygienic conditions, Baluch told The Associated Press.
Pediatrician Sultan Mustafa said he treated some 600 patients at a field clinic established by the Dua Foundation charity in the Jhuddo area in Sindh, mostly women and children with gastrointestinal infections, scabies, malaria or dengue.
Khalid Mushtaq, heading a team of doctors from the Alkhidmat Foundation and the Pakistan Islamic Medical Association, said they are treating more than 2,000 patients a day and were also providing kits containing a month's supply of water-purification tablets, soaps and other items.
On Friday, the representative of the U.N. children’s agency in Pakistan, Abdullah Fadil, said after visiting Sindh’s flood-hit areas that an estimated 16 million children had been impacted by the floods. He said UNICEF was doing everything it can “to support children and families affected and protect them from the ongoing dangers of water-borne diseases.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday urged the UN to push the EU to lift its sanctions blocking Russian fertilizer exports to developing countries.
Speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan, Putin called out the EU for what he termed a discriminatory approach.
He pointed out that the bloc had eased curbs to let in Russian fertilizers to Europe, but was unwilling to do the same for developing countries outside the continent.
“Using the opportunity, I ask UN Under-Secretary-General (for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary) DiCarlo to … demand from the European Commission that they remove discriminatory restrictions against developing countries,” Putin said.
As soon as that is done, Russia stands ready to provide 300,000 tons of fertilizers to developing countries free of charge, he added.
“Russia is also increasing grain exports to world markets. This year, it will be 30 million tons and next year 50 million tons, 90% of which goes to markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America,” he said.
Speaking about the SCO, Putin hailed the regional bloc’s growing international standing.
He said more than half of the world’s population lives in SCO member countries, a key factor for the organization’s immense potential.
The SCO continues to “develop steadily, increasing its role in solving international and regional problems, in maintaining peace, security and stability throughout the vast Eurasian space,” said Putin.
“This is especially important in the current difficult international situation,” he added.
Putin said global politics and economic structures have witnessed “irreversible, fundamental transformations.”
This, he added, has led to an “increasing role of new centers of power, interacting with each other not on the basis of some externally imposed rules … but on generally recognized principles of the rule of international law and the UN Charter, ensuring equal and indivisible security, respect for sovereignty, national values and interests of each other.”
The SCO functions in line with these principles, without any egoism, which gives us vital opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation, he said.
Founded in 2001, the SCO currently has eight members – China, Russia, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan.
It also has four observer countries – Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, and Mongolia – and six partner countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cambodia, Nepal, Türkiye, and Sri Lanka.
Procedures for Iran’s full SCO membership are expected to be completed during the ongoing summit in Samarkand, while the process for Belarus to join the bloc has been formally started.

One of the final speeches of John Horgan’s political career saw the British Columbia premier extol the benefits of collaboration and togetherness to achieve results just before he took a parting shot at forest-policy critics he called do-gooders.
Horgan told municipal politicians at the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention Friday that working together at all levels of government is the best way to approach and resolve B.C.’s most pressing issues, including health care, public safety and housing.
The premier announced his retirement earlier this year due to health reasons after battling cancer, saying he will leave the job when the New Democrats elect a new leader in December.
Horgan stressed he wasn’t at the convention to make splashy funding announcements, but rather to start or continue collaborative initiatives aimed at bringing results.
“UBCM has often been characterized as the place where lolly is handed out,” said Horgan, using a British slang term for money. “We wait until we get to UBCM to announce programs. Instead of coming to UBCM and saying, ‘something for you, something for you,’ we’ve come to say what can we do over the next year together.”
Health Minister Adrian Dix told convention delegates earlier this week the province has been in a health-care crisis since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but made no new announcements or commitments.
The mayors of Port McNeill and Clearwater followed the address by Dix, saying their communities are facing critical staffing shortages, hospital emergency room closures and dangerous conditions.
“We all know we are struggling in those areas,” said Horgan, mentioning health care, mental health and housing.
The premier acknowledged he was making his last of eight annual speeches to convention delegates, with three as leader of the New Democrat Opposition and five as premier.
The past five years in B.C., with droughts, floods, mudslides, wildfires, the heat dome, the opioid overdose crisis and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have been challenging for the province and the government, said Horgan.
“The only way that we got through the past five years, the only way we were able to give confidence to the people we represent was by collaboration, by working together,” he said.
Horgan complimented the municipal politicians who are concluding their four-year terms next month when local elections are held.
“In dog years, the past time is really 28 years, not four,” he said.
While Horgan said he remains optimistic about being an elected official, at a later news conference he criticized old-growth logging opponents who continue to reject the government’s forest policies, including Indigenous-led forest-business initiatives.
“Some do-gooder comes in with a Tilley hat and says, ‘You’re all bad people. The government needs to do this, the government needs to do that,”’ Horgan said.
“People need to stand up and support each other, and to the critics I say put your name on a ballot and see how much support you have,” he said.

'Only the beginning' - City executive director on investor Attanasio
- Credit: Mark Hoffman/USA Today
Norwich City executive director Zoe Ward has expressed her excitement at being able to work with Mark Attanasio, after the American businessman was announced as a Canaries minority shareholder.
Attanasio, who owns Major League Baseball franchise the Milwaukee Brewers, has purchased Michael Foulger's shares in the club as well as a number of smaller stakes from other shareholders.
The creation of a new type of shares means he could own a further 10pc of the club in future, and he's also acquired a seat on the Norwich board of directors.
Speaking in her matchday programme column ahead of the Championship game against West Brom, she said: "This is an exciting period as we prepare to welcome someone with Mark's business acumen, pedigree and experience to our set-up.
"Although Mark is already familiar to many people around Carrow Road and the Lotus Training Centre, he is keen to learn more about us and to get to know the people in and around the club.
"We share similar values and he wants us to be part of a progressive team that aspires to compete at the highest level of the sport. Together we can achieve that.
"I can also say that Mark and his family have turned into some of the club's biggest fans. They proudly wear Norwich kits and scarves, and they tune in to watch all our games, wherever they are in the world.

Princess Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice have paid tribute to their grandmother the Queen.
They share a short but touching message to the late monarch on social media Saturday afternoon.
The tribute read: “You were our matriarch, our guide, our loving hand on our backs leading us through this world.
“You taught us so much and we will cherish those lessons and memories forever.”
Alongside the moving words is a relaxed photo of the girls when they were little.
‘You were our matriarch, our guide, our loving hand on our backs leading us through this world. You taught us so much and we will cherish those lessons and memories forever.”
– Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie

— The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) September 17, 2022
Earlier this week, Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank attended a service for the Queen at Westminster Hall.
The Queen is now lying-in-state in Westminster Hall as mourners have started paying their respects.
Her Majesty died on September 8 at her Balmoral estate at the age of 96.
On Wednesday, King Charles III lead a procession with other members of the Royal Family as they walked behind her coffin.
The Queen’s coffin was taken from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where it will stay until her state funeral on Monday, September 19.
Princess Eugenie tears
As the Queen’s coffin arrived at Westminster Hall ahead of lying-in-state, a service took place with members of her family in attendance.
Eugenie stood alongside her husband Jack, Zara and Mike Tindall and her sister Princess Beatrice.
At one moment, Eugenie was seen wiping tears away during the heartbreaking service.
One fan noticed the sad moment and tweeted: “Princess Beatrice and her younger sister Princess Eugenie appeared emotional throughout the occasion, and were pictured wiping tears away.”
Royal procession behind Queen’s coffin
Earlier today, a procession took place with members of the Royal Family walking behind the Queen’s coffin.
King Charles, the Prince of Wales, Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and Prince Edward all walked in the procession.
Princess Beatrice and her younger sister Princess Eugenie appeared emotional throughout the occasion, and were pictured wiping tears away.
Meanwhile, the Queen Consort, Camilla, the Princess of Wales, Meghan Markle and Sophie, Countess of Wessex travelled behind the procession in cars.
Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice and their husbands were seen at the service.
It comes after Princess Anne became the latest royal to issue a statement on the loss of her beloved mother.
The Princess Royal said: “I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest mother’s life.
“It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys.
“Witnessing the love and respect shown by so many on these journeys has been both humbling and uplifting.
“We will all share unique memories. I offer my thanks to each and every one who share our sense of loss.
“We may have been reminded how much of her presence and contribution to our national identity we took for granted.
“I am also so grateful for the support and understanding offered to my dear brother Charles as he accepts the added responsibilities of The Monarch.”
Princess Anne concluded her moving statement: “To my mother, the Queen, thank you.”

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

Is Bengaluru dying?
Bengaluru needs surgery, not a band-aid, say environmentalists in the silicon city following the inundation of vast areas by rainwater
Traffic snarls are not new in the silicon city. But even then, the video clip of a doctor leaving his car and running to reach the hospital for a critical surgery shocked citizens. The doctor left his car on Sarjapur-Marathahalli Road after traffic came to a standstill following heavy rains last week.
Images of rainwater flooding living rooms in posh villas and millionaires fleeing on tractors went viral. BJP leader Tejasvi Surya claimed it was all a conspiracy by the Congress to malign the city and the BJP. Saner residents also shared images to claim that the older and better planned localities in the city remained relatively dry. Better drainage there had allowed the excess rainwater to flow away.
But illegally developed areas and encroachments in south-east and north-east Bengaluru were said to have choked the outlets. Several high-end residential complexes on the Rainbow Drive layout—where each villa costs upwards of Rs 10 crore—were flooded in no time and boats had to be sent out to evacuate the stranded residents.
Employees of tech companies whose offices are located in Bellandur and Whitefield areas were asked to work from home. The Outer Ring Road Companies Association had complained in the past about crumbling infrastructure. This time the Association once again wrote to the chief minister and warned that companies will have to move out if the situation does not improve soon.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, at the receiving end of criticism, visited the inundated areas, waded into ankle-deep water and blamed the previous Congress government for not taking action on encroachments that are on storm water drains (SWD) and rajakaluves (channels that connect water bodies and help in draining rain water).
Ten days after rains claimed two lives (both caused by two-wheeler riders losing balance on slushy roads), the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) swung into action from September 12 and demolished some of the structures constructed on SWDs.
Bhargavi S Rao, Trustee at the Environment Support Group (ESG), blamed rampant violation of rules laid down in the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act. There were no public consultations before buildings came up on the Outer Ring Road. “They are sitting on lake-beds because IT was seen as the golden goose contributing to Karnataka’s GDP and was treated like a special child,” she quipped.
The old areas in contrast like Basavanagudi or Malleshwaram built on the colonial British model, taking care of drainage and sewage systems, escaped unscathed despite receiving equally heavy rains, she added.
Regulators and builders did not respect nature, encroached upon low-lying areas and changed the land use and its contours, says civic evangelist V. Ravichandar. “We have a challenge because our storm water drains have been concretised and lakes have silted up. Besides, old Bengaluru was designed for 75 mm per hour peak rainfall while the city now receives between 125 mm and 150 mm per hour peak rainfall,'' he argued.
The ESG which works with environmental and social initiatives across the world has been filing cases against lake encroachments. An ESG report claims that while Karnataka has about 40,000 lakes and thousands of kilometres of canals; over 10,000 lakes have been lost in recent decades. Bengaluru has over 400 lakes, and according to authoritative estimates about 200 lakes have been lost, or are suffering from serious encroachments.
“For a city which boasts of its heft in science and technology, it is ironical that it should fail so miserably in urban planning.” Given that Bengaluru sits on a plateau and has three valleys, the landscape and topography should have been studied in greater detail, feels Rao. “The new neighbourhoods have infinity pools and fancy penthouses besides 2-3 levels of car parking but they have failed to take care of the drainage systems inside the apartments. These drains are concretised and there is no space for the water to percolate,” she adds.
While the nexus between the real estate developers, builders, government, politicians and the bureaucrats is quite evident, the city's Master Plan had not anticipated the erratic weather conditions or the boom in construction. Besides there are multiple ‘parastatals’, parallel bodies like the Bangalore Development Authority, the Karnataka Industries and Areas Development Board, Bangalore Metropolitan Regional Development Authority and so on which have little functional coordination. Ravichandar also points out that the old city has SWDs which are more robust than those in new areas like Outer Ring Road.
"If you want to see the results, bring down the buildings of very influential people in the city. This was how Surat was cleaned up after the plague. The then administrator S.R. Rao first demolished buildings of five influential people and others saw that they had no chance. In Bengaluru demolitions to remove encroachment were initiated five years ago, but when they reached some influential areas, they stopped and people forgot all about it,” recalls Ravichandar.

HAVANA (AP) — Tropical Storm Fiona was expected to become a hurricane as it neared Puerto Rico on Saturday, threatening to dump up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) of rain as people braced for potential landslides, severe flooding and power outages.
The storm previously battered various eastern Caribbean islands, with one death reported in the French territory of Guadeloupe. Regional prefect Alexandre Rochatte told reporters Saturday that the body was found on the side of a road after floods washed away a home in the capital of Basse-Terre. More than 20 other people were rescued amid heavy wind and rain that left 13,000 customers without power.
Fiona was located 90 miles (145 kilometers) south-southeast of St. Croix Saturday afternoon with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kph). It was moving west at 8 mph (13 kph) on a path forecast to pass near or over Puerto Rico on Sunday night. Fiona was expected to become a hurricane while moving near Puerto Rico.
“We are already starting to feel its effects,” said Puerto Rico Gov. Pedro Pierluisi. “We should not underestimate this storm.”
He said the heavy rains anticipated are dangerous because the island's soil is already saturated. Meanwhile, many Puerto Ricans worried about serious power outages since the reconstruction of the island's power grid razed by Hurricane Maria in 2017 only recently began. The grid remains fragile and power outages occur daily, with some 80,000 customers already in the dark on Saturday.
Fiona is expected to swipe past the Dominican Republic on Sunday as a potential hurricane and Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands on Monday and Tuesday with the threat of extreme rain.
Forecaster issued a hurricane watch for the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as the southern coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Engaño westward to Cabo Caucedo and for the northern coast from Cabo Engaño westward to Puerto Plata.
In Puerto Rico, authorities opened shelters and closed public beaches, casinos, theaters and museums as they urged people to remain indoors. Officials also transferred hundreds of endangered Puerto Rican parrots to their shelter.
“It’s time to activate your emergency plan and contact and help your relatives, especially elderly adults who live alone,” said Dr. Gloria Amador, who runs a nonprofit health organization in central Puerto Rico.
Pierluisi said $550 million in emergency funds are available to deal with the storm's aftermath along with enough food to feed 200,000 people for 20 days three times a day.
At least one cruise ship visit and several flights to the island were canceled, while authorities in the eastern Caribbean islands canceled school and prohibited people from practicing aquatic sports as Fiona battered the region.
In the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, authorities said they recorded wind gusts of up to 74 mph (120 kph), which would be considered a Category 1 hurricane. They also said 9 inches (23 centimeters) of rain fell in three hours in the Gros Morne area.
Fiona, which is the Atlantic hurricane season’s sixth named storm, was predicted to bring 5 to 10 inches (13 to 25 centimeters) of rain in eastern and southern Puerto Rico, with as much as 20 inches (51 centimeters) in isolated spots. Rains of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) were forecast for the Dominican Republic, with up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) in places. Life-threatening surf also was possible from Fiona’s winds, forecasters said.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Lester in the eastern Pacific was on a projected path that could bring landfall near the Acapulco area on Mexico's southwestern coast Saturday night.
Lester was expected to remain a tropical storm until hitting the Mexican coast. Forecasters warned of potential dangers from heavy rains.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) on Saturday. It was centered 85 miles (140 kilometers) east-southeast of Acapulco and moving moving northwest at 10 mph (17 kph).
The hurricane center said Lester could drop from 8 to 12 inches (20 to 31 centimeters) of rain on the coasts of upper Guerrero state and Michoacan state, with isolated areas getting 16 inches (41 centimeters).
The storm's center is expected to dissipate on Saturday afternoon.

Which space exploration toys are best?
On September 26, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is launching the Double Asteroid Redirect Test spacecraft directly at Dimorphos, an asteroid passing by the Earth, to test its capabilities in the event of an imminent threat to the planet. It’s an exciting time for space fans and an even better time to introduce the concepts of space exploration to your children. Among the best ways for kids to learn is through play. Even if the toy you choose isn’t meant to be educational, it can inspire a fascination that lasts a lifetime.
What to know before you buy a space exploration toy
Age range
All toys have suggested age ranges. You should always double-check the suggested age range for safety and to ensure you don’t get a toy that’s too simple or complex for your child. You can safely fudge the numbers on some toys by a year or two should your child be more or less mature than other kids.
Education factor
Some space exploration toys are explicitly meant to serve as educational tools. These usually have books with space-related information or are “experiment kits” meant to teach various concepts such as rocketry. If you know your child wants to learn, save yourself the effort of googling all the answers to their questions by grabbing one of these educational toys.

Full details of MotoGP’s sprint race weekend format revealed
MotoGP has revealed full details on the revised format for grands prix weekends in 2023 to accommodate the new sprint races.
As part of a push to boost interest in the flagging series, MotoGP will introduce half-distance sprint races on the Saturday of every grand prix weekend from 2023.
The sprint contest will be for half points and will not have any bearing on the grid order for the main grand prix, as is the case in Formula 1 and World Superbikes for their respective sprint races.
The proposal was met with mixed views from riders, with six-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez saying sprint races will make the series “more spectacular”, while reigning champion Fabio Quartararo called it “a stupid idea”.
The introduction of sprint races will bring about a revised weekend format, with the aim of keeping track time the exact same as it is now.
Upon the sprint race format’s initial reveal, it was confirmed that Friday will continue to feature two practice sessions – though they would be of a slightly longer length compared to the current 45-minute outings we have now.
The qualifying group order would be determined by the combined times at the end of Friday’s running, with a half-hour FP3 taking place on Saturday ahead of qualifying.
Sprint races will take place at 3pm on the Saturday, with the main grand prix remaining at 2pm on Sunday. It was also expected that the MotoGP warm-up session on Sunday would be axed.
In a press conference on Saturday at the Aragon Grand Prix, Dorna Sports’ chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta revealed full details of the make-up of race weekends for 2023.
Friday sessions will now simply be known as Practice, instead of Free Practice, with P1 starting at 10:45am local time and lasting for 45 minutes. Practice 2 will take place at 3pm local time and last for one hour.
Third practice will be known as Free Practice 3 as before and will start at 10:10am, lasting for 30 minutes. Qualifying, which will remain unchanged, takes place directly after at 10:50am.
MotoGP warm-up will remain for MotoGP only, which will last 10 minutes at 9:40am before a rider fan show takes place at 10am.
Sprint race wins will not be counted as grand prix victories in the history books.
In terms of fuel, sprint races will be limited to an allowed usage of 12 litres of fuel. All other sporting and technical regulations that apply to the grand prix will remain the same for the sprint.
In the sprint race, track limits infringements will be reduced from five to three before a penalty is awarded. Penalties copped in sprint races will be applied in the main grand prix, unless a rider is already carrying a penalty into the main race.

How KTM failed one of its brightest MotoGP prospects
Reigning Moto2 champion Remy Gardner’s career has been derailed by KTM’s decision not to retain him at Tech3 for 2023. Amid difficult circumstances, Gardner hasn’t shamed himself. But KTM’s apparent reasoning for dropping him raises questions about its handling of its young riders and the unrealistic expectations placed on them
Why it won't just be Marquez's speed that saves Honda in MotoGP
OPINION: Honda is in the midst of a second winless season in the space of three years. The absence of the injured Marc Marquez has been a major contributing factor, but HRC’s inability to alter its own approach has seen it slide down the order. Marquez returned to the MotoGP paddock in Austria and provided a rallying cry Honda needed to hear.
The signs Quartararo’s 2022 MotoGP title is slipping away from him
Prior to the summer break, the 2022 MotoGP title looked like it was Fabio Quartararo’s to lose. But a crash at Assen and the consequential penalty he had to serve last weekend at Silverstone stopped him from capitalising on a main rival’s injury woes, while a resurgence from another, plus the rise of a former teammate, look set to conspire against the Yamaha rider.
Why Andrea Dovizioso is leaving MotoGP at the right time

But it was a move he felt his status deserved, and it’s a challenge – he tells Motorsport.com - he faces with his eyes wide open…
How Formula 1 has driven MotoGP's changing nature
The hiring of technicians from Formula 1 has clearly contributed to a recent change in the MotoGP landscape, with the role of engineers gaining greater significance relative to the riders. Here's how this shift has come about.

Franco Morbidelli was long overdue a promotion to factory machinery when it finally came late last year, having finished runner-up in the 2020 standings on an old Yamaha package.

Why Honda and Yamaha have been left behind in MotoGP's new era
OPINION: The once all-conquering Japanese manufacturers are going through a difficult period in MotoGP this season. With Suzuki quitting, Honda struggling to get near the podium and Yamaha only enjoying success courtesy of Fabio Quartararo, Japanese manufacturers have been left in the dust by their European counterparts. This is why.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — An honor guard fired a three-gun salute toward cloudy skies as friends and comrades-in-arms gathered in Kyiv to bid farewell to a Russian woman who was killed while fighting on Ukraine’s side in the war with her native country.
Olga Simonova, 34, was remembered for her courage and kindness at a funeral in the Ukrainian capital on Friday.
Simonova’s coffin was draped in the blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag, with a cuddly toy lion on top. Her nom de guerre was “Simba,” like the main character in the Disney cartoon “The Lion King.”
Just a few days before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Simonova spoke to the The Associated Press in a trench in the Donbas region, where she had served for years alongside Ukrainian soldiers fighting against Russian-backed separatists.
Born in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, Simonova had a keen interest in sports and excelled in both mountain climbing and karate. She said she was always proud to compete for Russia.
But she started feeling uncomfortable about her native country after reading about Russia’s war in Chechnya and its actions in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region and Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
Filled with doubts that she “would ever be able to raise the flag of my country, my homeland” again, Simonova made a life-changing decision. She travelled to Ukraine to join the conflict in the Donbas on the Ukrainian side, first as a volunteer fighter, then a paramedic and ultimately as an enlisted member of the Armed Forces.
“I had this internal feeling that I could handle it and that what I was doing was right and necessary, because I can’t turn a blind eye to the situation,” she said. “I just had to buy a one-way ticket. I bought it and I left.”
Simonova said she never hid her Russian origin from her colleagues and gained their trust by showing her commitment to Ukraine on the battlefield. In 2017 she received Ukrainian citizenship.
She became a sergeant and was given command of both infantry and artillery units.
Friends and colleagues said Simonova, who was unmarried and had no children, had recently redeployed from the east to the southern Kherson region, where Ukraine has launched a counteroffensive against Russian forces. They said she died on Sept. 13, after her vehicle hit a land mine.
“She was respected not only as a commander, but as a person,” said Dmytro Karabinovskyi, her former commander and friend.

Your turn: Elimination of cash bail brings us closer to real justice
The politics of crime has always been distorted by those who seek more political power, no matter the facts or the consequences to the public.
A case in point is the public “debate,” if it can be called that, surrounding cash bail reforms that will soon go into effect because of the Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity (SAFE-T) Act.
Opponents of the SAFE-T Act have likened its enaction to the gory vigilante movie franchise “The Purge.”
More:State's Attorney: More than half of Winnebago County Jail to walk out door Jan. 1
They’re more right than they think and for entirely the wrong reasons. Let me explain.
In 1992, while an 8th grader, I was the victim of a violent crime, committed against me by an individual four years my senior (and over the age of 18), with whom I would eventually attend the same high school (him as a 5th-year senior and me as a freshman).
His parents were able to use the existing system to bond him out of jail. He pleaded to a lesser charge and returned to high school that fall, just three months later. Each day, I walked in fear through the senior hallway. Some days, my blood would go cold as I would see my attacker.
It is very likely that the SAFE-T Act would have spared me these traumatic and ongoing encounters with my assailant. That’s because, under the legislation, effective January 1, 2023, my victimizer would have undergone a risk assessment and his potential proximity and threat to me would have been considered.
Instead, the only thing considered was his ability to pay to be released; had he committed the same crime without access to money, he would not have been released so rapidly. And that's the problem.
The SAFE-T Act, crafted after dozens of stakeholder meetings and public committee hearings, provides that one condition of being released is that the person poses no threat to an identified person.
Under our current system, you may have allegedly committed a heinous crime, have a "high" bond set, be able to pay such a bond and be released. The elimination of a system based on access to resources gets us closer to real justice.
Our current system is a flawed system that criminalizes poverty, benefits those with means, and (like my example) does very little to protect victims and others at risk of being victimized by the alleged perpetrator with money.
In “The Purge” movies, very often it is the rich and unaccountable who prey on the powerless and who use the poverty of other communities to their ends.
Remember that the next time you see the manipulative commercials flooding the airwaves and social media to slander the SAFE-T Act.

The U.S. economy has had a strong recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the International Monetary Fund. The unemployment rate has returned to 2019 levels and wage increases for lower-income workers have reduced income gaps. Inflation, however, has posed a problem.
The country’s gross domestic product, or GDP, did drop in the first half of the year, but the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas argues that the U.S. likely did not fall into a recession. The IMF predicts the U.S. economy will slow in 2022-2023 but narrowly avoid a recession.
Since the end of 2020, 8.5 million jobs have been created in the U.S. There were nearly 10.7 million job openings as of June 2022, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Knowing this, Tovuti LMS used data from the BLS to find the 10 industries with the most job openings in June 2022. These are preliminary estimates released on Aug. 2, 2022.
Some openings are a result of government actions. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by Congress is expected to spur construction across the country. Others, in health care, for example, are a reflection of our aging society. Read on to find out which industries offer the best prospects for jobs.
Tovuti LMS
Industry overview
These industries had the largest volume of job openings in June 2022. Job openings are defined as positions that are open at the end of the month and can be full-time, part-time, seasonal, short-term, or permanent. They don’t include job openings where candidates are only sourced internally.
Data is from the BLS Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, which uses sampling to make estimates about larger industries. There is some variability in the data, represented in the chart overlay. So, as an example, though JOLTS estimated that health care and social assistance had the most job openings, it’s also possible that professional and business services had more openings due to potential sampling errors.
Keep reading for a more detailed look at the hiring landscape in each of these industries.

#10. Construction
– June 2022 job openings (preliminary): 334K
— Change since June 2021: +4%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 346K
— Change since June 2021: -1%
Associated Builders and Contractors in February 2022 predicted the need for 650,000 additional workers over the year to meet labor demand in the field. That’s on top of the normal pace of hiring. In a statement, the president of the industry group, Michael Bellaman, pointed to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by Congress in November 2021 and stimulus from COVID-19 relief. Skilled workers are required to modernize roads, bridges, and energy production across the country, and 3,900 new jobs are projected for each billion in additional construction spending.
The industry expects some 1.2 million construction workers to move to other industries in 2022, a loss that will likely be offset by 1.3 million workers who will enter from other industries. Among the largest construction companies are The Turner Corp., Bechtel Corp., Fluor, and Kiewit Corp.
Given the margin of error, it’s also plausible that wholesale trade or state and local government education or both could have the same amount or more job openings than construction, but the BLS estimate put construction in the lead.

#9. Finance and insurance
– June 2022 job openings (preliminary): 401K
— Change since June 2021: +63%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 128K
— Change since June 2021: -6%
Jobs in finance and insurance run the gamut from portfolio managers to insurance agents or loan officers at a bank or credit union. Finance and insurance businesses account for 4% of U.S. jobs. The sector, which has been expanding faster than the economy as a whole, is projected to grow 4% through 2025, with insurance carriers and other insurance-related businesses expected to add the most jobs or 139,807 by then.
Commercial banks and credit issuers, insurance carriers, and brokerages make up 75% of the industry. The five years before the COVID-19 pandemic saw growing demand based on the improving economy and the trend is likely to continue as the country recovers.

#8. Other services (excluding public administration)
– June 2022 job openings (preliminary): 459K
— Change since June 2021: +17%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 220K
— Change since June 2021: -9%
“Other Services” is a catch-all category created by the BLS for jobs not accounted for elsewhere. According to the bureau, they include repairing equipment and machinery, promoting or administering religious activities, grantmaking, advocacy, and providing a variety of services such as dry cleaning and laundry, personal care, death care, pet care, photofinishing, temporary parking, and dating.
The COVID-19 pandemic hit personal care businesses especially hard as many people avoided close contact and governments imposed stay-at-home orders and restrictions. Even as businesses reopened, their capacity was often limited.
Now, the industry is expected to grow at more than 8% between 2020 and 2030, almost five times faster than the average growth for all employment—and that does not include the recovery of jobs lost during the pandemic. Among the contributors behind the growth include the demand for services, especially as people saw themselves on Zoom calls; more customers, particularly among men; and new services, from eyebrow tattoos to tattoo removal.

— Change since June 2021: +4%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 315K
— Change since June 2021: -1%
The transportation industry saw severe disruptions during the pandemic as a result of illness and stay-at-home orders. The supply chain was upended as capacity on container vessels fell and rates rose. The demand for air freight increased too. Now cargo and passenger airlines are adding jobs. Commuting networks saw ridership plummet and some are still experiencing reduced ridership.
The number of riders on the New York City subway system, for example, is at 90% of pre-pandemic levels in working-class neighborhoods but still lags in the business districts. The industry encompasses airplanes, railroads, ships, trucks and other vehicles, and pipelines, moving passengers and cargo.

— Change since June 2021: +26%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 176K
— Change since June 2021: +21%
During the coronavirus pandemic, state and local governments had high job losses, and the public sector was still 664,000 jobs below its pre-pandemic level as of June 2022. Between March 2020 and March 2021, employment fell 5.1% in state government and 6.5% in local government, per the BLS. That compares with a 4.3% drop in the private sector.
Among the largest category of jobs in state government in March 2020 were correctional officers and jailers, office clerks, registered nurses, and secretaries and administrative assistants. In local government, once education jobs were excluded, police and sheriff’s patrol officers, janitors and cleaners, secretaries and administrative assistants, office clerks, and firefighters topped the list. One caution about salaries: The state government has a higher pay scale for lower-paying jobs but a lower one for higher-paying jobs, the bureau found.

#5. Manufacturing
– June 2022 job openings (preliminary): 790K
— Change since June 2021: -12%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 475K
— Change since June 2021: +7%
The Manufacturing Institute in Washington D.C. and Deloitte Insights project that manufacturers will need to fill 4 million jobs by 2030. But unless more people enter the field, 2.1 million of those jobs could remain unfilled, according to their January 2022 study, Creating Pathways for Tomorrow’s Workforce Today. Not filling those jobs could cost $1 trillion in 2030, Deloitte estimates.
They have been tracking a skills deficit in manufacturing for 19 years and warn that it could slow the growth of manufacturing. Finding workers with the right skills is harder than ever—1.4 times harder than in 2018, according to the report, which found younger workers showed less interest in manufacturing as a career. Top manufacturing companies range from Broadcom Inc. to Boeing to Juul Labs.

— Change since June 2021: -22%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 803K
— Change since June 2021: -16%
During the coronavirus pandemic, retail trade suffered steep drops in employment as customers ordered online or sought curbside pickup. Although the sector is expected to lose 587,000 jobs between 2020 and 2030—the largest projected job loss of any of the BLS employment categories—some industries could add jobs over the next decade.
Employment in the retail industry increased by 2% in 2021, compared to the overall growth of 0.7%. The number of jobs also increased from 2010 to 2017, but at the same time, the growth of online retail took business away from brick-and-mortar stores.
In 2030, retail trade will likely account for 8.6% of total employment, a drop from 9.7% in 2020 and 10.2% in 2010, according to the bureau. Among the country’s top retailers are Walmart, Amazon, Costco Wholesale, The Home Depot, and Kroger Co.

– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 1.00M
— Change since June 2021: -5%
The leisure industry, which includes hotels and restaurants, is rebounding as pandemic restrictions are eased. The industry also was especially hard-hit during the pandemic shutdowns. As of March 2022, employment had dropped by 8.7% since February 2020.
Recently, it has shown gains of 100,000 jobs or more over successive months—but at the same retention, which appears, again, to be a problem. In March 2022, 3 in 50 people working in the industry quit, Restaurant Business noted, as hirings rose and unfilled jobs fell, according to the BLS. Marriott, Hilton, and Best Western Hotels are among the largest hotel chains in the United States.

— Change since June 2021: +13%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 1.20M
— Change since June 2021: -1%
The professional and business services market is expected to grow now that the economy is recovering from the coronavirus pandemic and government shutdowns that had once curbed the need for some services have been eased.
The sector is broad, encompassing law and accounting firms, architectural and engineering companies, advertising companies, and those that design computer systems. Among some of the prominent companies in the field are Deloitte Touche, Tohmatsu Limited, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, Accenture, and KPMG. The largest market for professional services in 2021 was North America.

— Change since June 2021: +32%
– June 2022 hires (preliminary): 796K
— Change since June 2021: +18%
The health care profession is expected to add more jobs in the next decade than any other occupation, according to the BLS. The number of jobs is projected to grow 16% between 2020 and 2030, for an addition of 2.6 million new positions. Health care occupations are projected to add more jobs than any of the other occupational groups, with the country’s aging population accounting for the growing demand for health care.
Employment of social workers is projected to grow 12% over the same timeframe. On average, about 78,300 openings for social workers are expected each year, many the result of the need to replace workers who have left the profession. Some large employers in health care include CVS Health, UnitedHealth Group, Cigna, Johnson & Johnson, and Pfizer.

Livingston 1 Kilmarnock 0: David Martindale’s men go third as Cristian Montano’s second successive winner sinks Killie
LIVINGSTON moved up to third after Cristian Montano struck his second successive winner.
Two weeks after grabbing the only goal of the game against Hearts, the Colombian full-back was at it again as David Martindale’s men made it back-to-back wins at home.
On chances created, it should have been much more comfortable for the Lions.
But it’s another impressive victory for a side that could have dropped down to ninth had they lost.
Such are the fine margins, they are now tucked in behind Rangers at the top end of the table.
A fortnight on from their last outings, both managers made changes with Zach Hemming replacing Sam Walker in goal for the visitors.
Oli Shaw and Innes Cameron also dropped back to the Killie bench, while Martindale handed first league starts to Dylan Moyo Bahamboula and Kurtis Guthrie for Livi.
Aside from their defeat to Dundee United in the Premier Sports Cup, Livingston had impressed at the Tony Macaroni Arena this season.
The Verdict
How they rated...
Livingston: Shamal George 7,Nicky Devlin 7, Ayo Obileye 7, Sean Kelly 7, Cristian Montano 8, Jason Holt 7, Scott Pittman 7, Kurtis Guthrie 6, Stephane Omeonga 6, Dylan Moyo Bahamboula 7, Joel Nouble 7
Subs: (Guthrie 57, Goncalves 4) (Bahamboula 77, Penrice 3) (Montano 89, Fitzwater 3)
Kilmarnock: Zach Hemming 6, Ryan Alebiosu 5, Lewis Mayo 6, Joe Wright 6, Jeriel Dorsett 5, Ben Chrisene 4, Alan Power 5, Liam Polworth 5, Daniel Armstrong 5. Rory McKenzie 5. Christian Doidge 5
Subs: (Polworth 59, Lyons 3) (Armstrong 59, Jones 2) (Dorsett 59, Murray 2) (Power 82, McInroy 3) (Chrisene 82, Lafferty 2)
Man of the match
Given their dominance, there were plenty of contenders from a Livi point of view.
Joel Nouble was his usual handful while Kurtis Guthrie ran himself into the ground before hobbling off injured.
But the award goes to match winner Cristian Montano.
That’s two in two weeks for the full-back who caused Killie problems with his bombing runs forwards all afternoon. He looks a real find for David Martindale.
Man in the middle
Grant Irvine seemed to upset both sets of supporters in equal measure.
He would have had a decision to make had Alan Power gone to ground after seemingly being tripped, but in truth the man in the middle had a decent afternoon.
He was always up with the play and did his best to keep it flowing. Also did his best to keep his cards in his pockets, booking three players in total.
Men in the dugout
This was a good afternoon at the office for David Martindale.
Back-to-back home wins for the first time this season has hoisted his side up to third in the table.
He’s assembled a strong, physical squad who will be a handful for most teams on their day.
There weren’t many positives from a Killie point of view. McInnes’s men have won just one league match in seven this season and they were poor here.
Martindale was looking to secure back-to-back home wins for the first time this season.
McInnes was seeking just a second league win of the campaign.
Most read in Football
Livi should have taken the lead inside the opening ten minutes.
Joel Nouble threaded a wonderful pass through for Stephane Omeonga.
In behind the Killie defence, he only had Hemming to beat.
But the Livi star didn’t even make the keeper work, blasting over the bar with the goal gaping.
It had been a fast start from the home side and with 25 minutes gone they got the goal they deserved.
And it was all rather simple.
Sean Kelly delivered a corner from the right and Montano was completely unmarked at the near post to head home.
It was the Colombian left-back’s second goal in as many games after grabbing the winner against the Jambos.
From a Killie point of view, it was a poor goal to lose.
The visitors had toiled to contain Nouble and Guthrie, with Montano bombing forward in support at every opportunity.
Physically, Killie had been second best.
Shamal George hadn’t been troubled in the Livi goal with McInnes’s men rarely seen as an attacking force.
Daniel Armstrong had mustered a half chance with 16 minutes gone.
Doing well down the right his cross evaded Kelly, but Ayo Obileye was there to scramble the ball clear.
Had Alan Power had gone down after appearing to be tripped, referee Grant Irvine would have had a decision to make.
But the Killie midfielder stayed on his feet, eventually crowded in the corner out as the Livi defence regrouped.
Martindale’s only complaint at the break would have been the fact his side’s lead wasn’t more comfortable.
There were no changes in personnel as the second half got underway.
Three minutes in and Joe Wright did superbly to get across and block Guthrie who was looking to get on the end of another Kelly cross.
Montano, well advanced again, then flashed a volley over the Killie crossbar.
The home side were forced into a change soon after with Esmael Goncalves replacing the injured Guthrie.
McInnes made a triple substitution just before the hour mark with Jordan Jones, Brad Lyons and Fraser Murray all thrown on.
The visitors had to find a spark from somewhere - George had yet to make a save.
Jason Holt was next to try his luck for the home side, blasting over the bar with a curling effort from the edge of the box.
With 15 minutes left, Scott Pittman squandered a golden chance.
Ben Chrisene lost his footing allowing Bahamboula to race into the Killie box.
He cut the ball back for Pittman but somehow, from six yards out, he dragged his effort wide.
Pittman almost turned provider moments later, but there was too much pace on his cross for Goncalves who was unmarked at the back post and poised for a tap-in.
After Livi had failed to kill off the match, you knew Kilmarnock would get a chance.
It duly arrived seven minutes from the end.
Lewis Mayo had time and space to pick his spot, but he headed wide at the back post and Livi held on.
That’s now just one win in seven for the Ayrshire club.

A.2 lineage of monkeypox samples found in US, UK, India and Thailand should be explored further: NIV study
The ten monkeypox confirmed cases were comprised of three male and two female from New Delhi with no international travel history. While five males were from Kerala with a travel history from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to India
As the B.1 variant is found to be the predominant lineage of the 2022 monkeypox outbreak globally, the introduction event of A.2 lineage specifically in the US, UK, India and Thailand is the question of further exploration concluded a recent paper ‘Genome characterisation of monkeypox cases detected in India: Identification of three sub-clusters among A.2 lineage,’ published by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) scientists.
The paper was published in bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology on Friday.
Dr Pragya Yadav, lead author of the paper and scientist with the Indian Council of Medical Research - National Institute of Virology (ICMR-NIV), Pune, said that these changes during microevolution might play an important role in the increased transmission and/or disease severity in case of monkeypox.
“ICMR-NIV performed genome characterisation of monkeypox cases detected in India. And it was found that the samples belonging to lineage A.2 have further diverged into three sub-clusters. The recent update in monkeypox lineage designated all five sequences from Kerala as A.2.1. The samples of all ten cases were characterised which tested positive for monkeypox from Kerala and Delhi between July to August 2022,” said Dr Yadav.
From July to August 2022, swab samples of 96 suspected monkeypox cases from 18 states and 3 Union Territories (UT) were sent to the ICMR-NIV for diagnosis of monkeypox. Of them, ten cases tested positive. Out of these five cases, each from Kerala and Delhi was found to be positive for monkeypox.
“The ten monkeypox confirmed cases were comprised of three male and two female from New Delhi with no international travel history. While five males were from Kerala with a travel history from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to India. All the cases were immunocompetent with no comorbidities. All the cases have recovered without complications except a case from Kerala who succumbed to the infection following acute onset Encephalitis,” said Dr Yadav.
She further added that India quickly identified the first two cases of monkeypox among UAE returnees in July 2022.
“The genomic analysis revealed the infection of these cases with lineage A.2 of subclade IIb. This lineage has 80 nucleotide changes compared to the B.1 lineage which has been the predominant lineage of 2022 suggesting an independent virus strain emergence,” said Dr Yadav.
“Further studies are needed to determine the impact of this divergence in A.2 lineage. The genome evolution mechanisms and importance of gene functions also need to be studied further to understand the evolution of the monkeypox genome,” said Dr Yadav.

Cincinnati takes a lead over Miami (Ohio) into Halftime
Cincinnati takes a 24-17 lead over Miami (Ohio) into Halftime at Paycor Stadium. The Bearcats did their part to keep the RedHawks in it early, allowing Miami to charge down the field on a 75-yard touchdown drive to open the game and then coughing up two fumbles. But once Cincinnati fell behind 10-0 and started holding onto the football, the RedHawks had no answer for UC’s offense. Bearcats quarterback Ben Bryant opened the game a perfect 12-12 through the air and finished the half 17-22 for 209 yards and 1 TD. Cincinnati out-gained Miami(OH) 308 to 116 through the opening two quarters.

Well. 1 Georgia cruising at Halftime
Anyone who had Georgia on upset watch – and few did – could probably have taken them off it after the first few drives. The Bulldogs clearly came to play, including Stetson Bennett, who’s fighting some sort of malady because he’s been seen throwing up on the sideline. Throwing the football, however, he’s amassed 166 yards and one touchdown, and also leads the team with 25 rushing yards.
South Carolina’s offense hasn’t been able to get anything going, rushing for only 40 yards, and the best pass play was a fake punt pass by punter Kai Kroeger.

Bank of America Chicago Marathon runners will get to kick off post-race celebrations with a drinkable trophy.
Goose Island has joined forces with the marathon to create a special edition beer can designed specifically for the event's 44th running, which is set to take place Oct. 9.
The bright orange cans will feature the Windy City's flagship stars, with an emboldened "finisher" tag printed on its side.
On race day, the can will be brimming with 312 Wheat Ale, a locally brewed beer "densely populated with flavor" that Goose Island said was inspired by the city.
As described by the brewery, the drink has a "crisp, fruity ale" flavor that is encapsulated in "a smooth, creamy body that's immensely refreshing."
Goose Island will dish out the drink to marathon runners at the Post-Race Party in Grant Park's Butler Field.
Local

Trump news – live: Trump defends much-mocked legal team, amid claim Gaetz asked for pardon in sex probe
Rolling coverage of the former president’s latest legal woes and other news from Washington, DC and beyond
Jen Psaki says Democrats ‘love to be opposed’ to Donald Trump ahead of midterms
Matt Gaetz told a former White House staffer that he was hoping to get a pre-emptive pardon from then-President Donald Trump concerning an investigation into him by the Department of Justice, a report has said.
The allegation came in testimony given to the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, The Washington Post reported.
Johnny McEntee allegedly told the panel that the Florida Republican told him during a short meeting “that they are launching an investigation into him or that there’s an investigation into him”. Mr McEntee didn’t specify who was investigating the congressman.
Mr McEntee was asked by the panel if Mr Gaetz made the request within the context of DoJ’s investigation into allegations that he may have violated federal laws against sex trafficking.
“I think that was the context, yes,” Mr McEntee said, according to those with knowledge of the testimony.
Meanwhile, the former president defended his frequently mocked legal team in a post on Truth Social.
Trump defends much-mocked legal team
Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to lash out at his critics amid mounting legal problems.
“I have great lawyers and legal teams, working closely together, to guard against the Greatest Witch Hunt of all times,” he wrote.
“Many lawyers want to come on board,” he claimed. “Prosecutorial misconduct and Weaponization, the likes of which [have] never been seen before, is taking place at many different Radical left Democrat levels. I don’t know how much more our Country will be willing to withstand? “
“We are living in a very angry and troubled failing Nation. We are, indeed, a Nation in decline!!!” he said

Johnny McEntee said Matt Gaetz told him that “he didn’t do anything wrong but they are trying to make his life hell, and you know, if the president could give him a pardon, that would be great”.
Mr Gaetz added to Mr McEntee that he had made the request to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, according to The Post.
Mr McEntee was asked by the panel if Mr Gaetz made the request within the context of DoJ’s investigation into allegations that he may have violated federal laws against sex trafficking.
“I think that was the context, yes,” Mr McEntee said, according to those with knowledge of the testimony.

MAGA dating app sent cease and desist letter over name struggling to recruit women
The MAGA dating app The Right Stuff has yet to be launched but it’s struggling to recruit women and has been sent a cease and desist letter over its name, The Daily Beast has reported.
The app, supported by billionaire Peter Thiel, is set to be launched later this month. It was co-founded by Johnny McEntee, Donald Trump’s former body man. He was brought in by Ryann McEnany, the sister of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
The Daily Beast writes that Ryann McEnany “has been assigned a particularly tough task: convincing attractive, conservative women to sign up”.
“Hi, I’m working with John McEntee’s team on an exclusive conservative dating app called The Right Stuff that’s expected to launch this summer! We would love to get you on our list for early access to the app,” she has written in Instagram messages to possible users, according to The Daily Beast.

Will the Jan 6 committee bring an October surprise for midterms?
The House select committee investigating the riot on January 6 will likely not release its report about the attempted insurrection before the election, Axios reported. But that doesn’t mean it could not make news before 8 November.
Chairman Bennie Thompson told reporters that he didn’t want the committee to be “perceived as a partisan committee ... we’ve been fairly free of those kind of complaints, and we would not want to interfere with the election.”
At the same time, the chairman said that the time before 28 September, before the House leaves for campaign season, “won’t be a quiet period” and “the goal is to have … some information pushed out, obviously, before the November election,” though the committee might have an interim report during that time.
