Gross direct tax collections grew 30 per cent to Rs 8.36 lakh crore till September 17 of current fiscal year on higher advance tax mop-up buoyed by the economic revival post pandemic, the finance ministry said on Sunday.
After adjusting for refunds amounting to Rs 1.35 lakh crore, net direct tax kitty grew 23 per cent to Rs 7 lakh crore.
Gross collection of direct taxes for 2022-23 stands at Rs 8,36,225 crore compared to Rs 6,42,287 crore in the year-ago period, registering a growth of 30 per cent, the ministry said in a statement.
This includes revenue from Corporate Income Tax of Rs 4.36 lakh crore and Personal Income Tax (PIT) of Rs 3.98 lakh crore.
“ Direct tax collections continue to grow at a robust pace, a clear indicator of the revival of economic activity post pandemic, as also the result of the stable policies of the government, focusing on simplification and streamlining of processes and plugging of tax leakage through effective use of technology,” the ministry said.
For April-September, advance tax collection grew 17 per cent to Rs 2.95 lakh crore. This includes advance tax payout by corporate taxpayers of Rs 2.29 lakh crore.
After adjusting for refunds, net direct tax collections rose 23 per cent to Rs 7,00,669 crore, compared to Rs 5,68,147 crore in the corresponding period of 2021-22.
Refunds amounting to Rs 1,35,556 crore have been issued in 2022-23 till September 17, a 83 per cent growth over the year-ago period.
“ There has been a remarkable increase in the speed of processing of income tax returns filed during current fiscal, with almost 93 per cent of the duly verified ITRs having been processed till 17.09.2022. This has resulted in faster issue of refunds with almost a 468 per cent increase in the number of refunds issued in current financial year,” the ministry said.

Ethan Nwaneri: Arsenal schoolboy, 15, on bench for Premier League game with Brentford
Last updated on .From the section Arsenal
Arsenal have named 15-year-old Ethan Nwaneri as a substitute for Sunday's Premier League match against Brentford.
The attacking midfielder has impressed at youth level and appeared alongside established players Eddie Nketiah and Rob Holding on the bench.
Harvey Elliott is the youngest player to appear in the Premier League aged 16 years and 30 days for Fulham in 2019.
"We have the opportunities to bring young players on," said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta before the Brentford game.
He added: "We are pretty short and opportunities come when issues arise."
Nwaneri, who was born in March 2007, has been allocated the number 83 shirt.
He has already made a number of appearances for Arsenal at under-18s level and, aged 14, played for the England Under-16s.
Arsenal started the weekend top of the Premier League but slipped to third before kick-off against Brentford after Manchester City and Tottenham won on Saturday.
Last Tuesday, Northern Irish schoolboy Christopher Atherton became the youngest senior footballer in the United Kingdom aged 13 years and 329 days when he played for Glenavon.

Liverpool women’s manager Matt Beard has insisted there is no pressure on his side following their return to the Women’s Super League.
The Reds were relegated on a points-per-game basis at the end of the 2019/2020 season after the devastating impacts of the Coronavirus meant the domestic season was unable to play out its natural conclusion.
Since then, the Reds have plied their trade in the Women’s Championship, finishing third during the 2020/21 campaign before Beard took over and navigated the Birkenhead-based side back to the top flight in May.

His side won the title at a canter last term as they finished 11 points ahead of second-placed Bristol City and tasted defeat on just two occasions, while also boasting the division’s second top-scorer in Leanne Kiernan.
“I don’t think there’s any pressure on us, our ambition is to consolidate our position," said Beard, speaking to the ECHO. "We’ve got to be realistic because we’ve been out of the division for two years. The league has grown so much in those two years, we feel like we have a squad that can challenge and be successful at this level.
"We feel that we’ve recruited well, we’ve recruited players that know the league. It’s added more depth to the squad, which will keep players honest and give us plenty of options.
"We’re looking forward to the challenge, we want to consolidate and then build from there."
Having secured promotion back to the top-flight at the second time of asking earlier this year, the Reds will host city rivals Everton at Anfield on September 25 as Jurgen Klopp’s side are without a Premier League fixture due to the international commitments of his players.
Following the record-breaking attendance Liverpool's women's team received in the same fixture back in November 2019, Beard is looking forward to the prospect of leading his group of players out to the famous turf. However, the fixture against Brian Sorensen's side will come after taking on last season's champions Chelsea at Prenton Park.
"The Everton game is always the first one I look for once the fixtures come out," Beard added. "Look, it’s going to be a tough job for us. Chelsea have won the league three years on the bounce, and they're recruiting for the Champions League this summer, so it will be a tough test for us."
Liverpool acted swiftly in the summer transfer window to add proven WSL quality to their ranks with deals for 95-Dutch cap international Shanice van de Sanden, Emma Koivisto, Gilly Flaherty, Eartha Cumings and the temporary loan signing of former Red Charlotte Wardlaw from reigning champions Chelsea. And Beard hopes the multiple additions to his squad will help give his side the best chance of securing a historic victory at Anfield at the end of this month.
"We have a squad here of good players and we feel we can compete. We do work hard with the players on dealing with different things…to play at Anfield will be different for us. We’ve just got to make sure the players are prepared the best they can."
But desired results aside, the former West Ham and Bristol City manager is hoping his side can profit from an impressive performance at Anfield and attract new fans to come down and watch his side on a regular basis.
"It’s vitally important," said Beard when asked about the importance of using Anfield to grow the women's game. "Especially because we play on the Wirrall...which is the other side of the water. There are a lot of fans who will have fallen in love with the game because of the Euros, so hopefully if we can perform at Anfield they’ll follow us back at Prenton Park.
"The first games are a really tough start; Tottenham, Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea and Manchester City, so it’s a tough opening few months.
"We’ll be testing ourselves against the best players, teams and coaches, but we’re just looking forward to seeing what it brings."

Energia All-Ireland League Women’s Division: Round 2 Previews
Railway Union begin their title defence after a bye last week, travelling down to Limerick to face a UL Bohemians side that is determined to right the wrongs of their opening 14-5 defeat to Old Belvedere.
ENERGIA ALL-IRELAND LEAGUE WOMEN’S DIVISION – ROUND 2:
Saturday, September 17
Kick-off 5pm unless stated –
BALLINCOLLIG (9th) v OLD BELVEDERE (3rd), Tanner Park
A dose of home comforts for Ballincollig after a heavy opening loss at the hands of Galwegians. Head coach Fiona Hayes says they have ‘worked a lot on defence’ this week and hoping to ‘see a huge improvement in that area’.
‘Collig’s defence will be thoroughly tested again as Belvedere, who got off the mark with a well-judged 14-5 win over UL Bohemians, have some talented attack-minded players in their mix.
However, Belvedere’s try-scoring captain from last week, Lesley Ring, has unfortunately been ruled out for four to six weeks with an ankle issue. Recent Ireland cap Aoife Dalton misses the trip to Cork with a minor foot injury.
‘Belvo head coach Johnny Garth confirmed: “Jenny Murphy and Minnona Nunstedt come into the matchday squad. Minnona is a Swedish international and we look forward to her involvement with us for the AIL campaign.
“She has fitted in very well with the group and looks a real prospect. Dannah (O’Brien), Aoife and Emma (Tilly) have been huge additions to our squad and already all have shown a great desire to learn and become better players,
“They will reap the benefit of Tania Rosser’s experience as a first class attack coach, and we are thrilled to have them and very excited about what they will bring to the team.”
Garth is expecting a much-improved performance from Ballincollig after their disappointing start in Galway. Hayes says there will be a couple of enforced changes in the back-line due to injury.
“We’re hoping to go toe to toe with Belvedere in the set piece, and the team will be hoping to align better with one another in defence and attack,” said the former UL Bohemians, Munster and Ireland prop.
BLACKROCK COLLEGE (2nd) v COOKE (4th), Stradbrook
Cooke made their seasonal debut in the All-Ireland League with new head coach Colm Finnegan at the helm. It is a tough start for the Belfast side, but Finnegan has been pleased with the foundations they are putting in for the year ahead.
“We’ve brought together a strong overall squad, which has allowed us to have a high intensity at training,” he said. “Hopefully that will give us the platform to develop as the season progresses. It’s a great blend of experience and youth in the group.
“Blackrock are one of the league’s top teams. We’re looking forward to take on the challenge and pitting ourselves against the best the AIL has to offer. It’s where we aspire to be.”
Gemma McCamley makes a very welcome return after a season out with an ACL injury. She joins captain Aishling O’Connell in the second row, with Megan Edwards, the Co. Cavan flyer, getting her first AIL start on the left wing.
Current Ulster Under-18 Girls captain Sadhbh McGrath and vice-captain Cara O’Kane are two talented youngsters on the Cooke bench, both eager to make an impact in the forwards.
Meanwhile, Blackrock head coach Ben Martin wants his charges to be far more clinical in putting their chances away after a misfiring first half against Wicklow last Saturday.
Into the back-line for tomorrow come Méabh Deely and Natasja Behan, who both made their Ireland debuts in Japan last month, along with veteran centre Jackie Shiels. Ella Durkan switches to out-half.
Martin could also hand Ireland star Enya Breen her ‘Rock debut off the bench, while fellow international Emma Hooban shows her versatility in switching from hooker to the openside flanker role.
SUTTONIANS (6th) v GALWEGIANS (1st), JJ McDowell Memorial Grounds
Suttonians and Galwegians meet in a repeat of last season’s Conference final which Sutts won convincingly on a 26-0 scoreline. They recruited very well over the summer also, with seven of the new players in the squad for tomorrow’s clash.
One of them is centre Annie Buntine, who has joined from Australian side Melbourne Rebels. She will combine in midfield with captain Catherine Martin, a try scorer from last February’s victory over Galwegians.
‘Wegians ran in twelve tries in a runaway triumph over Ballincollig last week, while Suttonians’ opening game was postponed. Sutts head coach Stephen Costelloe is hoping it will not have too much impact tomorrow.
“It does give Galwegians an edge (having played last week) and they will be more battle hardened coming into this game, but it give us the opportunity to go out a lay down a marker,” he said.
“We know how tough it will be but we are relishing that. The players are excited, it’s been a while since (our last league match) last February. It promises to be a belter of a game.
“We have an exciting team selected, full of youth and experience. We have changed in certain areas from last season and show have Galwegians. It’s such a competitive league and with the new format, no one can dwell on the past.”
There is some squad rotation by new head coach Eoghan Maher for the Blues’ first away trip. Orla Dixon, Lea Turner and Jordan Hopkins come into the starting XV, with Faith Oviawe and Grace Browne Moran bolstering the bench.
Wingers Tanya Farrell and Sinead O’Brien, who are promoted from the seconds team, will make their first AIL starts. ‘Wegians are missing Laoise McGonagle this week, the scorer of four tries in their first round flurry.
UL BOHEMIANS (7th) v RAILWAY UNION (5th), UL Arena
Railway Union director of rugby John Cronin says ‘you couldn’t pick a harder first game than away to Bohs’, highlighting the depth of Munster talent they have at their disposal and how highly he regards Niamh Briggs as a coach.
“It’s a huge challenge for our players and our coaching team. We’ll have a good idea of where we stand on Saturday evening,” acknowledged Cronin, who is pleased to see the clubs’ seconds also facing off in Limerick as a curtain raiser.
Former Ireland internationals Larissa Muldoon and Lindsay Peat have joined the Railway coaching set-up as senior coach and scrum coach respectively. Peat is still packing down at loosehead prop.
Ailsa Hughes, Katie O’Dwyer and Molly Scuffil-McCabe return from Ireland duty last month, filling starting berths in a mostly settled side that includes Ireland Sevens international Anna McGann in midfield alongside captain Niamh Byrne.
Anna Caplice, who retired from international rugby in April, is back in UL Bohemians colours. She is set to start at openside flanker tomorrow, with Chloe Pearse skippering from the number 8 position.
Bohs team manager Carol O’Sullivan commented: “Obviously, Railway are defending champions, so we expect a big game. But we have been building our squad over the summer months and have added some new talented young players.
“Anna Caplice has also returned to the squad, bringing her vast experience. We’re looking forward to a competitive game on Saturday, but our primary focus is our own continuous improvement.”

LONDON (AP) — The funeral of the only monarch most Britons have known involves the biggest security operation London has ever seen.
Mayor Sadiq Khan says Monday’s state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II is an “unprecedented" security challenge, with hundreds of thousands of people packing central London and a funeral guest list of 500 emperors, kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers and other leaders from around the world.
“It’s been decades since this many world leaders were in one place,” said Khan. “This is unprecedented ... in relation to the various things that we’re juggling.”
“There could be bad people wanting to cause damage to individuals or to some of our world leaders,” Khan told The Associated Press. “So we are working incredibly hard — the police, the security services and many, many others — to make sure this state funeral is as successful as it can be.”
Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said the “hugely complex” policing operation is the biggest in the London force’s history, surpassing the London 2012 Olympics.
More than 10,000 police officers will be on duty Monday, with London bobbies supplemented by reinforcements from all of Britain’s 43 police forces. Hundreds of volunteer marshals and members of the armed forces will also act as stewards along the processional route.
They are just the most visible part of a security operation that is being run from a high-tech control center near Lambeth Bridge, not far from Parliament.
Street drains and garbage bins are being searched and sealed. On Monday there will be police spotters on rooftops, sniffer dogs on the streets, marine officers on the River Thames and mounted police on horseback.
Flying drones over central London has been temporarily banned, and Heathrow Airport is grounding scores of flights so that aircraft noise does not disturb the funeral service.
Authorities face the challenge of keeping 500 world leaders safe, without ruffling too many diplomatic feathers. Presidents, prime ministers and royalty will gather offsite before being taken by bus to the abbey — though an exception is being made for U.S. President Joe Biden, who is expected to arrive in his armored limousine, known as The Beast.
Another challenge is the sheer size of the crowds expected to gather around Westminster Abbey and along the route the coffin will travel after the funeral, past Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park. From there it will be taken by hearse about 20 miles (32 kilometers) to Windsor, where another 2,000 police officers will be on duty.
The queen is due to be interred in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle alongside her husband Prince Philip, who died last year aged 99.
Police are deploying more than 22 miles (36 kilometers) of barriers in central London to control the crowds, and transit bosses are preparing for jam-packed stations, buses and subway trains as 1 million people flood the ceremonial heart of London. Subways will run later than normal and train companies are adding extra services to help get people home.
While many will be mourning the queen, support for the monarchy is far from universal. Police have already drawn criticism for arresting several people who staged peaceful protests during events related to the queen’s death and the accession of King Charles III.
Cundy said it had been made clear to officers that “people have a right to protest.”
“Our response here in London will be proportionate, it will be balanced, and officers will only be taking action where it is absolutely necessary,” he said.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said the goal was to keep the event safe, “and try to do it in as unobtrusive a way as possible, because this is obviously a solemn occasion.”
Dean of Westminster David Hoyle, who will conduct the funeral service in the 900-year-old abbey, said preparations were going smoothly — despite the occasional security-related glitch.
“There was a wonderful moment when I had flower arrangers waiting in the abbey, and no flowers, because, quite properly, the police didn’t recognize what the van was and the flowers were sent back,” he said.

This is for the fourth time the Myanmar envoy was summoned at the ministry for the border incidents.
Firing from artillery and shelling have been going on incessantly on the Myanmar side of the border in Ghumdhum area in Bandarban’s Naikhyangchhari upazila, creating panic among the Bangladeshi residents.
A Rohingya teen, Md Iqbal, died earlier on Friday night as mortar shells from a hill in Myanmar fell in a Rohingya shelter centre on the zero line. Five more Rohingyas including a girl were injured.
Besides, a Bangladeshi youth named Athowaing Tanchangya, 22, was critically injured in a landmine explosion near pillar No. 35 opposite to Tumbru border when he went there to bring his cattle on Friday afternoon.
The youth, a resident of Headman para, is now undergoing treatment at Chattogram Medical College Hospital. Panicked farmers fear more landmine explosions along the border after the incident. Farmers are not going to the fields fearing there could be more landmines.
Local people’s representatives and border security force personnel said the Myanmar army started firing mortar shells continuously on Friday afternoon after a pause of three days.
The firing continued till 4 in the morning. The firing started again on Walidong hill in Rakhine state in Myanmar from 9:00am on Saturday. The incessant firing created panic among the people along the Ghumdum border. SSC examinees of Ghumdum high school centre were shifted to Kutupalang high school due to security reasons.
Earlier, on 9 September, a bullet fired from Myanmar fell on the yard of the house of Shahjahan, a farmer in Konarpara village near Tumbru Bazar.
There is a Rohingya shelter centre along the zero line. The camp’s managing committee chairman Dil Mohammad, 50, said the firing targeting the shelter camp on zero line seems to be planned as the Myanmar army has long been wanting the nearly 4,200 Rohingyas sheltered on the camp to be moved inside Bangladesh.
But the Rohingyas of that camp do not want to move elsewhere as the place is near their houses in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, he added.
Earlier, two shells fired from Myanmar security force’s helicopter fell inside Bangladesh. The foreign ministry summoned the Myanmar ambassador and sternly protested the incidents along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border.

For those of us who grew up in small towns, there’s a certain quality you can’t fully describe. And yet, it’s one that fills your chest with air, widens your smile and brightens your eyes.
Those who criticize it obviously haven’t experienced it.
I grew up in rural Caledon, just outside of Bolton. I remember when I went to college some of my peers commenting that Bolton was the “sticks.” Really? It was 20 minutes from Humber College. Bolton now numbers roughly 28,000.
Sure, rural living had its limitations. Even getting into town (maybe 6 kilometres away) was a chore. And dealing with our 700-foot gravel driveway in the winter was a feat, let me tell you.
But our four-acre piece of paradise was our Eden, our sanctuary. Unfortunately, as my parents aged, we let it go, for new owners to make memories.
I will never forget that place. And if I were ever blessed with the means, I would buy it back in a heartbeat.
Sure, mowing the lawn, watering the gardens, transplanting evergreens kept me busy in my teen years. It kept me out of trouble and taught me some valuable lessons.
My dad was a bit of a “tree whisperer” and I only wish I had mastered this craft. I now long to discuss the meaning of life with resident flora.
Living in a rural area gives you an appreciation, a perspective, like nothing else can. Of course, when you’re young, you don’t always get it. But you sure do when you age, and wisdom surrounds you.
This was a place my mom truly loved and felt at peace. She was never the same during subsequent moves.
For me, there are times when I sit in my current backyard, facing the neighbouring forest, and pause and reflect. It’s beyond calming.
Rural living aside, the small-town charm permeates everything in these parts.
Even as kids we got involved in local sports, community events, parades and service clubs.
I’ve heard that some service clubs have multi-generational members. That’s priceless, another of those qualities you can’t fully describe.
Caledon is still a relatively small community, yet its villages and hamlets are far from quiet.
There are events and celebrations in every corner.
For current events in neighbouring King, one only has to glance northward on Highway 27, driving along Main Street in Schomberg, to get a glimpse of our local heartbeat.
This smallest of King villages, at roughly 2,600 people, is a hive of activity. And most of it happens on the historic main drag, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the hectic world.
Now, that’s no easy task, and breathing new life into this village and its Main Street was a solid, committed effort among residents, Township and Economic Development office staff, who seized every available grant, program and opportunity to benefit the community.
This is what I’m talking about, people. This “we’re all in it together” attitude is our greatest strength.
As we speak, Schomberg is gearing up for a few arts-related events that will have the whole Township fired up.
The Schomberg Street Gallery, taking place September 18 will see the Main Street closed to traffic. It will be a hive of activity, from one end to the other, showcasing more than 40 local artists and their wares. It’s also a great time to check out local merchants, restaurants and coffee shops.
The village is in the midst of “A Taste of Main,” an amazing 17-day culinary event that features local eateries. It’s a great way to sample each and every one of them and find your new “favourite spot.” There are some great restaurants in Schomberg.
In fact, good food abounds across this municipality. I would urge everyone who has the smallest “foodie” in them, to literally eat their way across both Caledon and King, from one end to another.
I truly hope that spirit, that sense of community, never wanes.
Our small municipalities are very good examples of all levels of government working together to achieve some amazing things. While we have rural aesthetics in spades, we’re also quite innovative and modern.
Caledon has some great facilities and amenities, with more on the way.
King has enjoyed a slew of recent additions.
The King City Library and Seniors Centre is likely second to none in the GTA. This is the epitome of form and function – t’s simply gorgeous and fills a need.
The municipal office building is another marvel of modern construction. This is not typical of “small town Ontario” at all, and would rival any urban office building in the GTA.
King’s Township Wide Recreation Centre, currently under construction, will be the crowning jewel in our crown. It will be the most modern creation around, with amenities that you won’t find anywhere else.
Again, all of these things don’t come together without a great deal of work, along with funding from provincial and federal sources.
But it all begins at the street level, the local voices that speak out. It comes from our elected officials and Township staff, who are more than “civil servants.”
They, too, are the heartbeat of this community. They, too, are among the cowboy boot wearing, foot stomping, grass chewing folks we know and love.
Sleepy small town, my eye! This is where it’s happening, people!

As this most strange and surreal of national moments has unfolded, voices of power and influence have constantly talked about national unity and shared feeling. The media are suddenly awash with “we” and “us”. All those flowers, flags and banners embody the same message: that whatever this country’s tensions and resentments, the United Kingdom remains exactly that. But, by a grim accident of timing, when politics resumes this week the biggest story will be about something that suggests the exact opposite: a government so unconcerned by the huge gaps that divide people and places that it is going to widen them even further.
Friday will see the much-trailed “fiscal event” in which the new chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, will outline the details of the government’s energy prize freeze and the tax cuts promised by Liz Truss in her campaign for the Tory leadership. The Resolution Foundation reckons that, on average, the richest tenth of households will benefit from these measures by about £4,700 a year, while the poorest tenth will receive £2,200. By way of adding insult to injury, towards the end of last week news broke of Kwarteng’s push to remove the existing cap on banker’s bonuses, a legacy of our membership of the EU. As with Truss’s hostility to an extended windfall tax on the big energy companies, here was more proof of her government’s key intention: to “go for growth” by privileging wealthy and powerful people and interests, in the hope that doing so might boost the UK’s output.
Clearly, that approach leaves little room for the jumble of policies, rhetoric and half-formed intentions known as levelling up. That agenda was ailing already: even as Boris Johnson continued to talk up some imagined rebalancing of Britain as his big mission, transport plans centred on the north of England were cancelled and cut, the Whitehall schemes that replaced EU funding for the regions of the UK turned out to be a shadow of what preceded them, and the long-awaited levelling up white paper was turned into a non-event by Rishi Sunak’s refusal to back it with any new public money. But in the wake of Johnson’s fall, levelling up has been sidelined even as a vague idea.
To no one’s great surprise, Truss’s first speech outside Downing Street made no mention of the term at all. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is now the responsibility of the low-wattage Tory minister Simon Clarke. Out in the real world, the comparatively small-scale projects funded by £4.8bn of dedicated levelling up money are now threatened by rising inflation – and late last week, the Financial Times reported that among both local councils and Whitehall insiders, “there was no expectation of extra cash from central government”. So far, one of the few glimmers of thinking about regional inequality among Truss and her allies has been a fuzzy suggestion that “certain areas” will be turned into low-tax, deregulated enterprise zones – a reheated version of an old and failed idea, and a far cry from past levelling up promises of infrastructure, improved education and all the rest.
Under Johnson, levelling up’s failure could be put down to a lack of coherence and competence. But in Truss’s case, the sense of the idea hitting the wall is the result of ideological convictions highlighted in her first big TV interview. Four days before the Queen died, she appeared on the BBC’s new programme Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, where she was asked by the host why she was prioritising tax cuts that would hugely benefit people at the top. Truss blithely conceded the point. “But to look at everything through the lens of redistribution, I believe, is wrong,” she continued. “Because what I am about is growing the economy, and growing the economy benefits everybody.”
Truss knew the significance of what she was trying to explain, even if Kuenssberg didn’t seem to. “This is a really important point,” she insisted. “The economic debate for the past 20 years has been dominated by discussions about redistribution. And what has happened is, we have had relatively low growth … and that has been holding our country back.”
Superficially, this is a very strange view of the past two decades: was that period really so “dominated” by a debate about fairness and inequality that it stifled the economy? Even in the New Labour era, senior politicians tended to keep quiet about such things: Gordon Brown’s redistributive policies, let us not forget, happened largely by stealth. Moreover, once David Cameron and George Osborne took over, austerity ensured that inequality – not least in its regional manifestations – got much, much worse. So who or what was Truss’s target?
What she was really bemoaning, it seems to me, was the turn Tory politics took after the Brexit referendum. Theresa May and Johnson may have qualified their talk about the UK’s inequalities by insisting that they did not intend to take money from areas at the top of wealth and income rankings. But they nonetheless talked up their focus on disadvantaged people and places, and claimed that they could use the state to start to reshape the British economy. In February this year, the then levelling up secretary, Michael Gove, contrasted levelling up with “trickle-down economics”, and said that if the free market was left to itself, “then what you see is inequality growing”.
This is what Truss and her allies have seemingly come to avenge: as Thatcherite true believers, they think that even the most halfhearted interventionism might lead to ruin (hence her initial rejection of “handouts” to ease the energy crisis), and that ultimately, inequality is just another word for what makes capitalism so dynamic. Her fellow Tories see this linchpin of her beliefs very clearly. “She has an agenda, it’s quite ideological, and it’s very Conservative,” says Osborne. “We didn’t get that with either Boris Johnson or Theresa May.”
That last point is true. The fact that Truss’s two predecessors said they would move away from post-Thatcher Toryism, in fact, was a big part of the reason why the political loyalties of former Labour heartlands began to shake in 2017, leading to the fall of the so-called red wall two years later. However delusional it may now seem, plenty of people in such places had voted to leave the EU in a spirit of hope, and both May and Johnson then did their best to convince them that their optimism wasn’t misplaced.
Now we are suddenly in a very different political climate. What, you can only wonder, is Truss’s message to voters who live in the kind of areas still routinely termed “left behind”? That they ought to damp down their hopes, do their best to get through hard times, and rejoice if some sugar-rush boom in financial services pushes up national income by a few per cent? If that remains her government’s approach, millions of people will know exactly what they are dealing with: the end of any lingering hopes that levelling up would mean anything, and the return of the credo that ensured they were left behind in the first place.

A Sonic Drive-In just hosted a hardcore punk concert, and the photos are wild
(NEXSTAR) – This is how you Sonic?
The hardcore-punk scene and the fast-casual dining scene have continued to inch closer and closer in recent years, first after two viral concerts at Denny’s restaurants in California and Texas, and now after a hardcore show at a Sonic Drive-In.
The Sonic restaurant, located in Hainesport, New Jersey, played host to the concert on Saturday night, with bands rocking out beside the intercoms and fans moshing in the drive-in stalls, according to photos and video shared to social media.
“Well that s— was crazy,” tweeted one of the bands, seemingly accurately, after the show concluded early on Sunday morning.
Why the Golden Arches aren’t exactly ‘golden’ at this McDonald’s in ArizonaAccording to a flyer for the concert — which featured performances by hardcore bands Gel, Scowl, Exhibition, Chemical Fox and Phantom — the show was scheduled to begin immediately after the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. Even still, one of the attendees appeared to have hoarded a corn dog to consume during Exhibition’s set, as seen in footage shared by live-music archivist Sunny Singh of the website hate5six.
Images taken by South Suburbia Photo also show fans dancing, lighting off fireworks and generally having a fantastic time in what would otherwise be an empty Sonic parking area off Route 38 East in New Jersey.
“It was wild, hands-down one of the best shows I’ve ever been to,” the photographer told Nexstar.
It’s unclear how the event came to be, though it was organized by the Philadelphia-based 4333 Collective , according to the flyer. A representative for the group was not immediately available to comment.
A manager at the Sonic Drive-In who knew more about the booking arrangements was said to be unavailable until later this week, according to an employee at the restaurant.
Sonic’s corporate headquarters, meanwhile, did not respond to requests for further information.
Why is Ruth’s Chris Steak House called ‘Ruth’s Chris Steak House’?Saturday night’s concert comes nearly three years after a band called Wacko staged a similarly odd concert at a Denny’s in Santa Ana, California, where the attendees reportedly caused more than $1,000 in damages. Fortunately, Green Day — yes, Green Day — graciously offered to cover the costs, Loudwire reported at the time.
But both Wacko and the bands in the lineup at Denny’s likely owe a debt of gratitude for a Texas band called Live Without, which staged a 2013 concert inside a recently shuttered Denny’s location in Houston.
To date, a four-minute video clip of that concert — titled “The Denny’s Grand Slam” — has amassed over 3 million views on YouTube alone.

Jack Grealish and Son Heung-min, two of the English Premier League’s most high-profile players, have been facing growing criticism for their failure to score this season.
They silenced the doubters on Saturday.
With a strike after 55 seconds, Grealish — the England international with the 100 million pound ($139 million) price tag — set Manchester City on its way to a 3-0 win at Wolverhampton and first place in the standings, at least for 24 hours.
With a hat trick after coming off the bench, Son — the joint-top scorer in the league last season — rounded off Tottenham’s 6-2 victory over last-placed Leicester, whose manager Brendan Rodgers will head into the international break with his job under serious threat after six straight league defeats.
The wins left City and Tottenham tied for points in first and second place, respectively, and their managers thrilled to see their forwards scoring again.
“Rightly so, people have been asking questions — I should be scoring more and getting more assists,” said Grealish, who hadn’t even set up a goal this season.
“I am always going to have people talking about me with the money that was spent on me, but all my career I haven’t scored enough goals. I do want to add that to my game.”
Naturally, Erling Haaland was one of City’s other scorers at Molineux — that’s 14 in nine games in all competitions since joining from Borussia Dortmund — along with Phil Foden, with Wolves playing with only 10 men from the 33rd minute after Nathan Collins’ red card for a chest-high lunge on Grealish.
City has 23 goals in its seven games so far.
Son was rotated — or was he dropped? — by Tottenham manager Antonio Conte for the Leicester game and the South Korea forward looked emotional after each of his goals having gone on as a 59th-minute substitute. Two of them were curling shots into the top corner and his hat trick goal squirmed under beleaguered Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward, before needing the say-so of a VAR review.
“The way I play, I can do much better than I have been,” Son said. “I have been disappointed, the team has been doing really, really good but I was disappointed with my performances.”
Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Rodrigo Bentancur also scored for Tottenham, while Youri Tielemans — with a twice-taken penalty — and James Maddison scored for Leicester.
Rodgers said the pressure was “very much” on him.
“I understand the game,” he said. “The scoreline didn’t reflect the game but the bottom line is it’s a heavy defeat. They (the owners) have given me brilliant support. Whatever happens to me at Leicester, whether I stay and fight on, I’ll always respect them.”
NEWCASTLE FLAT-LINING
It’s no wins in six games for Newcastle, whose manager Eddie Howe will understand the pressure that comes with coaching the soccer team with the world’s richest owners. How patient will the club’s Saudi leadership be?
After a disappointing 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at St. James’ Park, Newcastle remained without a win in the league since beating Nottingham Forest at home on the opening weekend. Five of Newcastle’s six results have been draws.
There were some jeers from Newcastle supporters at the fulltime whistle after Bournemouth held out for a point in a disciplined defensive performance, which saw the visitors take the lead against the run of play through Philip Billing in the 62nd.
Newcastle, which hit the post through Kieran Trippier and Joelinton by that point, equalized five minutes later when Alexander Isak converted a penalty awarded for a handball against Jefferson Lerma.
Bournemouth continued its upturn in results since firing Scott Parker after a 9-0 loss at Liverpool at the end of August. In three games since under caretaker manager Gary O’Neil, the south-coast team has two draws and a win at Nottingham Forest.
TRIBUTES TO QUEEN
There were more tributes to Queen Elizabeth II before and during Saturday’s games, including a pre-match minute’s silence and a period of applause after the 70th minute — marking the 70 years she was on the throne.
All players wore black armbands as a mark of respect for the queen, who died last week. Her funeral is in London on Monday.

Braves forge ahead without Ozzie Albies vs. Phillies
The Atlanta Braves secured a series victory and captured their 90th win of the regular season in front of the home crowd.
But they also lost Ozzie Albies with a fractured right pinky finger sustained as he slid head-first into second base in the fourth inning of a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.
Now the Braves (90-55) will go for the three-game series sweep when they host the Phillies on Sunday afternoon.
Albies, who could potentially return during the playoffs, just came back to the lineup Friday after three months away recovering from a fractured left foot.
"I hate it for him. My heart breaks for him," Braves manager Brian Snitker said of the two-time All-Star. "After everything he went through to get back here, it's horrible for him."
Ronald Acuna Jr. hit a home run and double and drove in all four runs. It was the second straight game that Acuna had gone deep. He also made a couple of stellar throws from deep in right field.
"I haven't changed anything particularly (on offense)," Acuna said during a postgame interview on Bally Sports South. "Just continue to work every day and I think we're starting to see some good results."
The Braves will hand the ball to right-hander Spencer Strider (10-5, 2.72 ERA) on Sunday.
Strider is 3-0 with a minuscule 1.17 ERA in three career games (two starts) against the Phillies.
The Braves have won seven consecutive games at home.
The Phillies will aim to snap a three-game losing streak in the series finale.
After surging to 18 games over .500, the Phillies (80-65) fell to the Miami Marlins and have now dropped two in a row to the Braves.
Matt Vierling hit a double and sacrifice fly to knock in two runs, and Bryson Stott added two hits and an RBI on Saturday.
"I think we've got a great group in here that's going to fight (Sunday)," Bryce Harper said.
The Phillies still remain in good position to eventually secure their first playoff berth since 2011.
"We've got a tough schedule," Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said. "We've got to battle through it. I just loved the fight of the ballclub tonight. We kept grinding."
Thomson was asked if he was watching the scoreboard of other teams, and he quipped "since spring training."
Beginning Sunday and through the rest of the regular season, the mission is simple.
"We've got to win ballgames," Thomson said. "If we play like we did tonight, we'll win ballgames."
Rhys Hoskins took batting practice and was available to pinch hit despite a sore right hand. Thomson hinted that Hoskins would be back in the lineup Sunday.
Edmundo Sosa is expected to be sidelined for three weeks with a strained right hamstring, however.
Left-hander Bailey Falter (5-3, 3.80 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Phillies.
Falter, who has never faced the Braves, is 5-0 with a 2.43 ERA in five starts since Aug. 20. Falter has been elevated in the rotation with Zack Wheeler on the injured list.

Duleep Trophy: South Zone Crush North By 645 Runs, Set Up Title Date With West
Duleep Trophy: R Sai Kishore's maiden match haul of 10 wickets ensured a staggering 645-run victory for South Zone over North to set up a clash with West Zone in the Duleep Trophy final starting on Wednesday.
- Press Trust of India
- Updated: September 18, 2022 04:56 PM IST
Left-arm orthodox spinner R Sai Kishore's maiden match haul of 10 wickets ensured a staggering 645-run victory for South Zone over North to set up a clash with West Zone in the Duleep Trophy final starting on Wednesday. The margin of victory was one of the highest in Indian first-class cricket. West Zone also won their semi-final in commanding fashion beating Central Zone by a comfortable 279-run margin. The final will be played in Coimbatore from September 21, and it will be a five-day affair.
In the South versus North game, the contest was killed by the winning team's batters when they piled up a mammoth 630/8 declared in their first innings, riding on hundreds from opener Rohan Kunnummal, skipper Hanuma Vihari and Ricky Bhui.
Once North were all out for 207 in their first innings, courtesy Sai Kishore's 7/70, the writing was on the cards.
South didn't enforce follow-on and scored 316/4, piling on North's misery by giving them an improbable target of 740 to chase.
On the final day, North were bowled out for 94 in 30.4 overs with Sai Kishore (3/28), off-spinner Krishnappa Gautham (3/50) and another slow left-armer, Tanay Thyagarajan (3/12), sharing the spoils.
It was a match that belonged to Sai Kishore for his stupendous effort (10/98 in 39 overs) as the pitch wasn't difficult to bat on.
Sai Kishore varied his pace and lengths to trouble the North batters with only opener Yash Dhull (59 off 58 balls) showing some counter-attacking instincts.
The innings was terminated at the fall of ninth wicket as Navdeep Saini, who has been declared unfit by the BCCI, didn't come out to bat.
As many as eight North batters failed to reach double figures.
Mulani takes five-for
Left-arm spinner Shams Mulani, who finished as the highest wicket-taker in Ranji Trophy, continued his rich vein of form by taking 5 for 72, as West made short work of Central in the other semifinal.
Chasing a gigantic target of 501, Central were never in contention to make a match of it and were all out for 221 in little over 57 overs.
Chintan Gaja, the seamer whose mindless bravado of deliberately throwing the ball back on follow through injured Venkatesh Iyer, also got his act together and chipped in with three wickets.
Rinku Singh (65 off 71 balls), and 'concussion substitute' Ashok Menaria (in place of Venkatesh Iyer) (32 off 71 balls), delayed the inevitable with a 87-run stand for the seventh wicket.
Starting the day at 33/2, the question was how long could Central Zone hang on. West had virtually sealed it after their opponents were all out for 128 in reply to the winner's 257 in the first essay.
Prithvi Shaw was deservingly named the Player of the Match for his 60 and 142 in the two innings.
Promoted
It was his offensive approach at the top of the order in both the innings that put Central on the back-foot.

A Covid subvariant that was spreading across the US has now been confirmed in the UK. BA.4.6 is a subvariant of the Omicron variant and its presence in the UK was confirmed in new briefing documents circulated by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
It accounted for 3.3% of samples in the UK in the week beginning Sunday, August 14, but has gone on to make up 9% of cases now, Plymouth Live reports. Similarly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, BA.4.6 now accounts for more than 9% of recent cases across the US. The variant has also been identified in several other countries around the world.
BA.4.6 is a descendant of the BA.4 variant of omicron. BA.4 was first detected in January 2022 in South Africa and has since spread around the world alongside the BA.5 variant.
It is not entirely clear how BA.4.6 has emerged, but it’s possible it could be a recombinant variant. Recombination happens when two different variants of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) infect the same person, at the same time.
While BA.4.6 will be similar to BA.4 in many ways, it carries a mutation to the spike protein, a protein on the surface of the virus which allows it to enter our cells. This mutation, R346T, has been seen in other variants and is associated with immune evasion, meaning it helps the virus to escape antibodies acquired from vaccination and prior infection.
Severity, infectiousness and immune evasion
Fortunately, omicron infections generally cause less serious illness, and we’ve seen fewer deaths with omicron than with earlier variants. We would expect this to apply to BA.4.6 too. Indeed, there have been no reports yet that this variant is causing more severe symptoms.
But we also know that omicron subvariants tend to be more transmissible than previous variants. BA.4.6 appears to be even better at evading the immune system than BA.5, the currently dominant variant. Although this information is based on a preprint (a study that is yet to be peer-reviewed), other emerging data supports this.
According to the UKHSA’s briefing, early estimates suggest BA.4.6 has a 6.55% relative fitness advantage over BA.5 in England. This indicates that BA.4.6 replicates more quickly in the early stages of infection and has a higher growth rate than BA.5.
The relative fitness advantage of BA.4.6 is considerably smaller than that of BA.5 over BA.2, which was 45% to 55%.
The University of Oxford has reported that people who had received three doses of Pfizer’s original COVID vaccine produce fewer antibodies in response to BA.4.6 than to BA.4 or BA.5. This is worrying because it suggests that COVID vaccines might be less effective against BA.4.6.
The capacity of BA.4.6 to evade immunity may however be addressed to a degree by the new bivalent boosters, which target omicron specifically, alongside the original strain of SARS-CoV-2. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, one preprint study shows that BA.4.6 evades protection from Evusheld, an antibody therapy designed to protect people who are immunocompromised and don’t respond as well to COVID vaccines.
Vaccination is key
The emergence of BA.4.6 and other new variants is concerning. It shows the virus is still very much with us, and is mutating to find new ways to overcome our immune response from vaccination and previous infections.
We know people who have had COVID previously can contract the virus again, and this has been particularly true of omicron. In some cases, subsequent episodes can be worse.
But vaccination continues to offer good protection against severe disease, and is still the best weapon we have to fight COVID. The recent approval of bivalent boosters is good news. Beyond this, developing multivalent coronavirus vaccines that target multiple variants could provide even more durable protection.
A recent study showed that a multivalent coronavirus vaccine administered through the nose elicited a strong immune response against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, as well as two variants of concern, in mouse models.
Close monitoring of new variants including BA.4.6 is pressing, as they could lead to the next wave of COVID pandemic. For the public, it will pay to stay cautious, and comply with any public health measures in place to prevent the spread of what remains a very contagious virus.

President Cyril Ramaphosa hopes the investigation into a horrific crash in KwaZulu-Natal that claimed the lives of 19 children and two adults will help SA take better care of its children in the future.
Speaking on Sunday, the president said the country could not afford to lose such precious lives under any conditions.
“This is yet another sad moment for our country, following the substantial loss of young lives in an Eastern Cape tavern recently.
“I hope the investigation into the Pongola incident will shed light on the cause of this tragedy and help us take better care of our children in the future,” he said.
The schoolchildren were being transported in a bakkie when it collided with a truck in Pongola in northern KwaZulu-Natal on Friday.
The truck driver was arrested on Saturday.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Liz Truss took office less than two weeks ago, impatient to set her stamp on government and facing an overflowing inbox of crises: soaring inflation, a plummeting national currency and skyrocketing energy bills.
Then the death of 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II ripped up Truss’ carefully laid plans.
The epochal event has been both a challenge and a reprieve for the U.K.’s untested new leader. The monarch’s demise has put everyday politics in the U.K. on hold as the country plunged into an emotional mourning period.
“It’s given her space to think with the media off her, to plan,” said political historian Anthony Seldon. “The one thing (a) prime minister most lacks is time to think.”
Truss won a Conservative Party leadership contest on Sept. 5 and was appointed prime minister by the queen at Balmoral Castle the next day, in one of Elizabeth’s final acts.
Truss was informed that the queen was gravely ill as she announced an emergency energy package in the House of Commons on Sept. 8 that was designed to ease the impact of steep fuel bill increases driven by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The monarch’s death was announced a few hours later, leaving many questions about the support package unanswered as Parliament was suspended during 10 days of official mourning.
The prime minister’s appearances since then have been largely ceremonial. She has traveled to memorial services for the queen in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and attended the accession ceremony of King Charles III. On Monday, Truss will join hundreds of political leaders and dignitaries from around the world in the 2,000-strong congregation for the queen’s funeral in Westminster Abbey.
After that, politics will return with a vengeance and Truss will try to make up for lost time. She will launch herself onto the world stage, travelling to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly next week.
Even before the funeral, Truss is quietly getting to know other world leaders. She is holding private meetings this weekend with key allies, including the prime ministers of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Irish leader Micheal Martin and President Andrzej Duda of Poland, whose country is in the front line of support for Ukraine.
A planned weekend meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden will now be held Wednesday at the U.N. in New York, Truss’ office said Saturday.
“The fact that so many leaders from around the world … are flooding to London gives the new prime minister ample time for soft diplomacy, those quiet conversations before and after the funeral, which will help her achieve her objective — if it is achievable — of ‘global Britain,’” Seldon said.
Truss wants to reassure allies that she will continue the strong political and military support for Ukraine begun under her predecessor, Boris Johnson. At the U.N., she is also likely to urge the world’s democracies to work more closely together in what she has labeled a “network of liberty.”
But Truss also has some bridge-building to do, especially with Biden. The U.S. leader has expressed concerns about the impact of Britain’s departure from the European Union on the delicate peace in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland shares a border with EU member Ireland, and Brexit has brought new checks on goods that have spiraled into a political crisis in Belfast. British Unionist politicians are refusing to form a power-sharing government with Irish nationalists, saying the Brexit border checks undermine Northern Ireland’s place in the U.K.
Johnson’s government announced plans to suspend the checks and rip up part of its Brexit treaty with the EU — a move that angered the bloc and alarmed Washington. Biden has warned that no side should do anything to undermine the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, cornerstone of Northern Ireland’s peace process, which the U.S. was instrumental in negotiating.
Truss says she wants to reach an agreement with the EU, but will push ahead with Johnson’s plan to rewrite the rules if that fails. It’s unclear whether U.K.-EU relations, which hit rock bottom during Johnson’s turbulent tenure, will improve under Truss. She ruffled French feathers last month when she said the “jury is out” on whether French President Emmanuel Macron is a friend or a foe.
At home, Truss — a small-state, free-market conservative — has been forced to leave her political comfort zone and spend billions capping energy prices for homes and businesses that had been facing an 80% increase next month as Russia’s war in Ukraine sends energy prices surging.
The government will reveal more details of its energy package — and face sharp questions from the opposition — when lawmakers return to Parliament on Wednesday.
Then on Friday, Truss-appointed Treasury chief Kwasi Kwarteng is due to make an emergency budget statement to address the U.K.’s deteriorating economic picture. Inflation eased slightly in August but remains at 9.9%, the highest in four decades, while the pound is at a 37-year low against the dollar. The Bank of England has forecast a long recession to start later this year.
Kwarteng is likely to announce cuts to personal or corporate tax — or both — in hopes that will spur economic growth, though critics say such measures help the well-off more than the poorest.
Newspapers report that Kwarteng also wants to remove a cap on bankers’ bonuses imposed after the 2008 global financial crisis. That would be highly contentious, and would abruptly end the political truce that has followed the queen’s death.
“We’re beginning to see … the signs of what the new economics of Liz Truss is all about,” opposition Labour Party lawmaker Margaret Hodge told the BBC. “Thinking about bankers at this stage is obscene.”

Gordie Blasts 'Embarrassing' Helicopter Parenting
After Tedesco's Dad Speaks Out
getty
Triple M's and former rugby league star Gorden Tallis has hit out at helicopter parenting in the NRL after Rooster star James Tedesco's dad spoke to the media over his son's treatment in the opening week of the finals.
During Fox Sports' NRL 360 earlier in the week, leading NRL journalist Phil Rothfield revealed on air that Tedesco's father reached out to him after the Roosters fullback copped a game-ending head knock from Tom Burgess.
Tedesco's father expressed concern over the incident, according to Rothfield.
"Dads are ringing media to complain about their sons... I'd be embarrassed if that was my father, it is so embarrassing," Tallis said on Triple M's Sunday Sin Bin.

Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez ends Gennady Golovkin rivalry with dominant victory
Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez ended the rivalry with Gennady Golovkin that will define their careers by easing to a one-sided victory in their third fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After they thrillingly fought to a controversial draw in 2017 and victory for Álvarez in 2018 — one perhaps only controversial because of the outcome of the first — Golovkin’s decline meant that the first of their fights staged at 168lbs produced little of the same drama.
Álvarez, defending his IBF, WBC, WBA and WBO super-middleweight titles against the 40-year-old IBF and WBO middleweight champion from Kazakhstan, and following May’s convincing defeat by Dmitry Bivol of Russia at the same venue, was awarded unexpectedly close scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113.

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — With the wind whipping around the golf course in the afternoon and the greens hard and dry, Justin Lower knew there wouldn’t be many opportunities for birdies.
He made the most of his chance on the final hole Saturday as he tries to win his first PGA Tour title.
Lower weathered the wind and shot a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead into the final round of the season-opening Fortinet Championship.
“I just tried to really keep it as simple as I could, keep it in play, keep it in the fairway because I really think you can score from the fairway,” Lower said. “It’s very tough to score from the rough, especially with the pins tucked the way they are.”
Lower made five birdies on the round at Silverado Resort & Spa to give him his first career 54-hole lead in his 29th start on the PGA Tour.
“I’m sure I’ll be nervous, for sure, but just part of it,” he said. “I mean, it’s why we play. Playing on the PGA Tour with a chance to win, it’s pretty cool.”
Defending champion Max Homa and Danny Willett were a shot back after even-par 72s. Byeong Hun An had a 71 to get to 11 under.
While several players who went out early in the day posted low scores in good playing conditions, the course got much harder late in the day when the wind picked up to wreak havoc on the players.
Willett took several minutes on the eighth green clearing off blowing leaves just before making a birdie putt that put him briefly in the lead at 13 under.
Workers with leaf blowers came out on the next hole to keep the green clean but Willett made a double-bogey 7 after his approach shot flew past the green.
“It was tough when we started the day, it was really windy,” Willett said. “It’s hard trying to hold some of them front flags when it’s pumping downwind when the area’s really small, but yes, some scrappy golf.”
There were few birdie chances available with players happy with pars late in the day. That led to a very condensed leaderboard with eight players within three shots of the lead headed into Sunday.
An moved into a one-shot lead when he hit a solid tee shot on the par-3 15th came and then made a birdie from about 6 feet to get to 13 under. But he gave it back and more with a double bogey in the par-5 16th when his second shot got caught near the root of a tree.
“It was tough out there today, it was a little breezy, greens getting firmer and firmer,” An said. “I feel I played decent all the way through. Got a bit unlucky.”
That opened the door for Lower, who put his second shot on the par-5 18th just off the green and then made the short birdie putt.
It’s been quite a few weeks for Lower, who appeared to lose his tour card after three-putting the final home of the Wyndham Championship for a bogey when he only needed a par to remain in he top 125. But after more defections to the LIV Tour, Lower moved back into the top 125 and is taking advantage of it in the first tournament of the new season.
Conditions aren’t expected to be much better in the final round, which has already been altered by an ominous forecast with rain and wind. The leaders will tee off several hours earlier than scheduled with the final round featuring threesomes off split tees.
Davis Thompson and Harrison Endycott shot the low rounds of the day with 65s that left Harrison in a four-way tie for fifth place with Paul Haley II, Matt Kuchar and Adam Svensson. Endycott was a stroke behind in a four-way tie for ninth.
Endycott the first player out on the course and played as a single in his first career tournament make the cut with a birdie on the the final hole of the second round. He overcame a broken driver early in that round and was happy to have all of his clubs available Saturday.
“Definitely helps when you’ve got a driver in the bag after yesterday’s shenanigans with the cracked driver face,” he said. “This golf course is tough hitting 3-wood everywhere. So it was nice to get freed up, played some good golf today.”
Haley, who had gone 3,315 days between appearances on the tour from the 2013 Wyndham Championship and the start of this tournament, was tied with Thompson in the group at 10 under after a 66.

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.

The developer of a $14.4 million project to build a new cancer treatment center for Auburn Community Hospital is seeking more than $4 million in tax breaks to help finance it.
Cayuga County residents will have an opportunity to comment on the proposal on Monday when the Cayuga County Industrial Development Agency holds a public hearing on an application for sales and property tax exemptions.
Rochester-based Park Grove Realty LLC, through a subsidiary established for the project called PG Auburn MOB LLC, has secured city planning board approval to construction a new 12,000-square-foot cancer treatment center building for the hospital. The building would be sited where an employee parking lot is currently located at the corner of North and Lansing streets.

The hospital is partnering with Rochester-based Park Grove as well as Upstate Medical University Hospital in Syracuse on the project. The 1.14-acre lot is being acquired by Park Grove and leased back by the hospital. Hospital officials have said ACH does not have the financial resources to develop the project on its own.
Construction of a new 12,000-square-foot cancer treatment center at Auburn Community Hospital can move forward.
As a result of that arrangement, the property loses its tax-exempt status that applies to the nonprofit hospital's current parking lot. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the hospital will be responsible for covering the property taxes, but to make the project feasible, the partners said they need tax breaks authorized by the IDA.
According to the financial assistance application, an exemption on sales taxes associated with construction materials would be worth an estimated $360,000. A mortgage recording tax exemption would provide an additional $82,500 in assistance.
But the biggest exemption would come from a break on property taxes. The application proposes reductions in the added assessed value of the site over 15 years that would amount to $3.79 million in real estate tax savings.
The application said the cancer center would add 19 jobs over its first three years, with additional payroll totaling $1.7 million by the third year.
Park Grove and the hospital first approached the Auburn Industrial Development Agency in February to outline the project's concept, but not with any type of formal financial assistance proposal. At an August meeting in which the Cayuga County IDA authorized the public hearing on the proposal, officials explained why they ultimately decided to seek assistance from the county's agency instead of the city's.
"We think this project benefits the entire community of Cayuga County, so that's why we're going though this board," hospital chief financial officer Jason Lesch said at the Aug. 16 Cayuga IDA meeting.
The major expansion would allow the hospital to add radiation oncology services to its cancer treatment offerings, which it launched in early 2020 in partnership with Upstate cancer physicians.
In its certificate of need application filed Dec. 29 with the state Department of Health, the hospital said Upstate Medical University will provide clinical physicians, technologist and management oversight while the center will be operated by ACH. It will operate from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the space will include seven exam rooms, a consultation room, CT scanner room, a linear accelerator treatment vault, controls rooms, patient treatment planning/dosimetry space, eight infusion rooms and staff office space.
Hospital officials have said the project will take about one year to complete once construction begins.

THE UNITED NATIONS has called for Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers to reopen high schools to girls, calling the anniversary of their exclusion “shameful”.
The UN said it is increasingly concerned that the policy, together with other restrictions on basic freedoms, will contribute to a deepening of the country’s economic crisis in the form of greater insecurity, poverty and isolation.
“This is a tragic, shameful and entirely avoidable anniversary,” said Markus Potzel, acting head of the UN mission in Afghanistan.
A year after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, hard-liners appear to hold sway in the Taliban-led government.
Teenage girls are still barred from school and women are required to cover themselves from head to toe in public, with only their eyes showing.
The religious group has failed to deliver on various promises to enable girls’ return to the classroom.
The ban primarily impacts girls aged 12 to 18.
The Taliban reopened high schools to boys while instructing girls to remain at home.
The UN estimates that more than a million girls have been barred from attending high school over the past year.
“The ongoing exclusion of girls from high school has no credible justification and has no parallel anywhere in the world. It is profoundly damaging to a generation of girls and to the future of Afghanistan itself,” said Potzel, who is also the UN secretary-general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan.
To mark the Sunday anniversary, 50 girls sent a letter entitled: A Year of Darkness: A Letter from Afghan girls to heads of Muslim countries and other world leaders.
The girls hail from the capital Kabul, eastern Nangarhar province and northern Parwan province.
“The past year, we have been denied human rights, such as the right to attain an education, the privilege to work, the liberty to live with dignity, freedom, mobility and speech, and the right to determine and decide for ourselves,” Azadi, an 18-year-old student from Kabul, said in the letter.
The girls named in the letter gave only their first names.
The UN said the denial of education violates the most fundamental rights of girls and women.
The world body said it increases the risk of marginalisation, violence, exploitation and abuse against girls and is part of a broader range of discriminatory policies and practices targeting women and girls since the de facto authorities assumed power in the summer of 2021.
The UN again called upon the Taliban to reverse the slew of measures they have introduced restricting Afghan women and girls’ enjoyment of their basic rights and freedoms.
Since taking power, the Taliban have struggled to govern and remain internationally isolated.
An economic downturn has driven millions more Afghans into poverty and hunger as the flow of foreign aid has slowed to a trickle.

Turks buying greater variety of brands than before COVID: Study
ISTANBUL
Over 60 percent of Turkish consumers say they are buying a greater variety of brands than they were before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a recent study.
Consumers are also largely in search of their perfect brand match, with 72 percent of respondents feeling that if they look hard enough, they can find a brand that fits their exact needs, NielsenIQ’s “Balancing Act” research shows.
The study, which focuses on how inflationary pressures are changing the way small and medium brands can justify their worth and remain aligned to the core values sought by consumers, highlights important data regarding consumer preferences.
“Our study shows that 62 percent of Turkish consumers prefer to buy locally made products from small businesses in their area, while 65 percent try to support small brands where possible,” said Didem Şekerel Erdoğan, managing director for Türkiye and NielsenIQ Analytics vice president for the Middle East and Africa.
“Moreover, 54 percent feel that small brands are more authentic and 46 percent think that small brands are usually more expensive, but consumers are prepared to pay a bit more,” she added.
Small and medium brands have a great opportunity in the changed consumer landscape, according to Erdoğan.
“Our data show that the pandemic has changed consumer needs, values and priorities, and this has had a significant impact on their buying behavior. Good value for money [94 percent], product quality [91 percent] and availability [90 percent] are of utmost importance,” she said.

LONDON (AP) — From a hoard of people huddled on a chilly London sidewalk waiting to catch a glimpse of Princess Elizabeth on her way to marry the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947, to a five-mile, 24-hour line of humanity waiting patiently to file past her coffin this week, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has always drawn huge crowds.
Untold millions must have seen her over her 70 globetrotting years on the throne. Schoolchildren hold up a homemade banner proclaiming “God Save the Queen” in Paris in 1972. A sea of humanity packed lower Broadway during a whistle-stop visit to New York in 1957.
The monarch who died Sept. 8 at age 96 was a source of fascination across the decades, across the globe.
Photographs taken throughout her reign show the changing faces and fashions of the crowds who braved cold nights and hot days to see Elizabeth if only for a fleeting second.

Ashley Lefebvre hugs her unborn daughter’s urn each night. Sarah Halsey treasures the tiny hat worn by her baby who lived just 38 minutes. Abi Frazier moved away from her home with a furnished nursery.
All ended wanted pregnancies because of grave fetal medical problems.
It’s a side of abortion seldom discussed in national debates — the termination of pregnancies because of fetal anomalies or other often-fatal medical problems. These terminations often happen in the second trimester, when women have already picked out names, bought baby clothes and felt kicking in their wombs. They’re far different from the most common abortions, performed earlier in pregnancies.
Women say these terminations for medical reasons don’t feel like a choice — instead they are forced upon them by the condition of the fetus they carry. And the constant drumbeat of new abortion bans, rulings and news since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade has reopened raw wounds. Such abortions were already shrouded in secrecy and guilt, the women say. They fear the path will be even tougher for those who follow.
There are no recent statistics on the frequency of terminations for fetal anomalies — including genetic or chromosomal abnormalities — in the U.S., but experts say it’s a small percentage of total procedures. They typically occur later than the 93% of abortions performed at or before 13 weeks of pregnancy.
In the wake of the high court’s decision, a growing number of women in this smaller group are coming together to support each other and share their voices. They say more people will face the same hurdles they did — traveling long distances, rushing agonizing decisions, navigating a maze of changing abortion restrictions — with an even narrower window for care.
The vast majority of states ban abortion at some point in pregnancy, and roughly a dozen have exceptions for fetal anomalies, most just for fatal medical problems. Even in states with exceptions, providers may be reluctant to perform terminations for medical reasons, and cases can fall into gray areas.
Gray seeps across the spectrum of abortion, say the women who’ve experienced these procedures.
Here are some of their stories.
____
When Abi Frazier was pregnant last year, she and her husband created a nursery — Cadi’s room, with a hand-me-down crib, toys and clothes. But Cadi never came home.
At Frazier’s first ultrasound appointment, nothing seemed amiss. She saw movement and heard a heartbeat. So the couple shared their pregnancy news with family.
“Surprise! We’re having a baby!” they told them, taking off sweaters to reveal shirts that said “mama to be” and “rad dad.”
A screening test for chromosomal abnormalities came back normal and indicated they’d have a girl. But then, at just over 19 weeks, a doctor told them about a severe problem involving the neural tube from which the brain and spinal cord form.
Frazier will never forget his words: “I’m so sorry. She has a fatal defect.”
Her options were to terminate the pregnancy, or carry the baby and expect a stillbirth.
“I was weighing the choice, which really didn’t feel like a choice, because what I wanted was my baby,” said Frazier, now 34.
The decision to terminate meant contending with time limits and regulations. The doctor at a nearby Oklahoma clinic would not provide the procedure past 17 weeks. Frazier traveled three hours to a Kansas clinic with a cutoff of 22 weeks.
Under state law, the couple had to wait 24 hours for the procedure after their first clinic visit. They got a hotel, and Frazier cried nonstop. At the clinic, staff were compassionate, she said. The people gathered outside were not. Her husband couldn’t come inside, so he had to listen to protesters on a bullhorn. They parked a van with graphic images in front of the exit.
The next year, when the Supreme Court’s abortion ruling came down, the couple had moved to a new home. There, rainbows — symbolizing babies born after loss — cover a crib sheet, lamp, picture frames and walls in a new nursery. Their daughter, Ava, was born in March.
In the couple’s bedroom is a tiny urn filled with Cadi’s ashes, next to an ultrasound picture. “She’s always gonna be part of our family,” Frazier said.
She said abortion opponents don’t understand the medical nuances behind decisions like hers.
“The choice that I made was out of compassion for my daughter,” she said.
Oklahoma now prohibits abortion completely, with no exception for fetal anomalies.

Just before Christmas, Faye seemed to be on the cusp of a new phase of life. The day before she and her husband moved into their first house, she discovered she was pregnant with their first child.
They learned it was a girl and named her Lynne.
But at 20 weeks, an ultrasound found that the fetus had spina bifida, a condition in which an area of the spinal column doesn’t form properly, and a complex congenital malformation of the brain.
The Richmond, Virginia, woman considered having surgery on her fetus at a North Carolina hospital. It wasn’t a cure, though it might have eliminated the need for a shunt to help drain fluid from the baby’s brain.
But Faye — who spoke with AP on condition of using only her middle name, out of concerns over online backlash — said it “started to feel selfish to bring her into the world.”
Lynne might have lived, Faye said, but she likely would have faced a lifetime of pain. Experts say when a fetal diagnosis isn’t uniformly fatal, the decision to abort can be especially thorny and more ethically gray.
The two-part termination took place at 23 weeks of pregnancy — and it began the day after she learned that the Supreme Court’s draft opinion was leaked. Shortly after the official ruling, Faye, now 30, suffered nightmares and memory loss and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Today, Faye’s sorrow is mixed with hope. She is pregnant again.

Sarah Halsey’s fifth baby lived for only 38 minutes, dying in her hands.
She ended her pregnancy last year after scans showed the fetus had a brain abnormality and other signs of the genetic disorder trisomy 13. She asked the doctor if, in her baby’s case, it was “compatible with life.”
He paused, then replied: “I’m so sorry.”
Halsey chose an induction abortion, which uses medications to start labor in the second or third trimesters. The intent is to end the pregnancy, and it is considered an abortion. But infrequently it can result in a brief, unintended live birth. It’s less familiar than the surgical dilation and evacuation procedure more commonly used in the second trimester. But some facing fetal anomalies want to see and hold their babies.
That was true for Halsey — a labor and delivery nurse in Michigan. Though she knew she wouldn’t go home with a baby, she said, “it was really important that I gave birth to her.”
When labor ended, she held the 10-inch, 10-ounce infant, named Willow Rebecca after her grandmother and mother.
“We kissed her,” Halsey said. “We told her how much we loved her.”
Three weeks later, Halsey, 34, returned to work. It was rough; her first patient had the same due date she would have had. But she eventually felt that her loss allowed her to offer more compassionate care.
Today, Halsey finds support in two online groups for parents who terminated pregnancies for similar reasons. She and her family recently marked Willow Rebecca’s birthday by planting a willow tree in the backyard.
“We loved her so, so much that we did not want her to fight and suffer,” Halsey said. “Ending my pregnancy felt like the most motherly thing I have ever done.”
____
Terminations for women who learn of fetal anomalies have only grown more complicated since the Supreme Court’s June ruling — as Nancy Davis realized the next month, when she learned that her unborn baby was missing a skull.
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, woman was 10 weeks pregnant. She said she was told the fetus had a rare, fatal condition called acrania and would probably survive only a short time — several minutes to a week — if brought to term.
Doctors advised an abortion, but said they couldn’t perform it. Louisiana’s post-Roe trigger law banned all abortions except when there is substantial risk of death or impairment to the woman or if the pregnancy is considered “medically futile.” Doctors performing illegal abortions can face up to 15 years in prison.
“Basically, they said I had to carry my baby to bury my baby,” Davis, 36, said at a news conference in late August.
A group of legislators released a statement saying the hospital “grossly misinterpreted” the abortion exceptions. Davis and her attorneys blamed the vagueness of the law, not the doctors. Acrania wasn’t on a list of conditions considered medically futile, but the document also notes exceptions for other lethal anomalies certified by two physicians. A state health department spokeswoman said a finalized list would specify acrania.
At the news conference, Davis demanded that Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and the legislature call a special session to clarify state abortion restrictions. One of her lawyers, prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, said, “There is nothing right about this situation, and the lawmakers have the power to do something about it.”
At 15 weeks pregnant, Davis planned to go out of state. “Each day I continue this pregnancy, I grow more attached to the baby,” she said.
Not all women have that option. Some can’t afford long-distance travel. Jennifer Hoskovec, a genetic counselor in Texas, said it’s devastating for women to make such a difficult, complex decision only to realize “it’s not really even a decision they had in the first place.”
Davis said no woman should ever have to endure what she’s been through: “It’s a mental fight, it truly is,”

For Jill Atstupenas, the end of the constitutional right to abortion was emotional — and she turned it into action.
In September 2020, she learned she was pregnant after several rounds of in vitro fertilization. But she and her husband, of central Massachusetts, ultimately learned their unborn baby had brain malformations.
“I’ll never forget what the doctor said: ’Bring her into the world and all three of you could be in pain,” Atstupenas said, but by ending the pregnancy, “the two of you will know pain for the rest of your lives, but your daughter would only ever know love.”
Atstupenas, 36, had an induction abortion in February 2021, between 23 and 24 weeks. The baby lived a few moments. She and her husband stayed in the hospital for two days, singing and reading to the girl they named Hadley Maeve, even though she was gone.
More than a year later, Atstupenas sat at her computer for hours reading the high court’s abortion decision. She was terrified for families in states with trigger laws.
She started on social media, with a Facebook post sharing her story. She included a photo of her and her husband in the hospital with Hadley.
She also did a blog post for a support group “TFMR Mamas” — terminations for medical reasons. She went on a podcast. She attended abortion-rights rallies in Boston with her husband.
She wrote to senators, telling them that people who terminate in these cases aren’t “waking up and saying ’the heck with it, I don’t want this pregnancy anymore.”
If she can sway any legislators, it’s worth her time. “Maybe they’re just not as informed as they should be,” she said. “I just want to help people understand.”

Ashley Lefebvre was just weeks out from her termination when the Supreme Court’s ruling came down. She was on a break from work, taking a walk and listening to a meditation on baby loss. A friend texted her: “I just want you to know that you’ve done nothing wrong.”
Lefebvre stopped, found a tree and sat down. She pulled up NPR on her phone to confirm the news and started crying.
The 30-year-old Syracuse, New York, woman had her termination at 17.5 weeks in mid-May, shortly after the draft opinion leaked. The fetus, who she and her husband named Rowan, had Down syndrome, blocked bowels, a failing heart and other issues.
One of her medical appointments was a day after the leak, and she saw the news everywhere. “It just felt very personal,” she said. “Everything that I was reading, I was putting myself in that article.”
The abortion debate continues to swirl around her. With every new restriction passed, she feels hopeless. She hears the same from others in a peer support group. No one knows how to turn back the clock.
Every day, Lefebvre holds Rowan’s urn close to her chest to say goodnight. She imagines the baby can feel the warmth of her body and hear her heartbeat again.
But she’s reminded often that reality is much colder. Weeks after her procedure, a crib her dad had ordered arrived at her home.
She put it in the basement with the rest of the baby things that she no longer needs.

CHENNAI: Governor RN Ravi on Saturday released the book Manam Niraintha Makkal Sevai, authored by former Governor of Odisha MM Rajendran. It is the Tamil translation of his book Service Uninterrupted, a compilation of memoirs of Rajendran during his career as a civil servant as well as during his gubernatorial position. Shaktikanta Das, Governor, RBI, received the first copy.

Rajendran, in his book, recalled his encounter with the destruction caused by the 1964 cyclone in Dhanushkodi when he was Ramanathapuram Collector. He speaks about how this gave him first-hand knowledge of such natural disasters and the rehabilitation activities to be taken by the district administration.
N Ram, director, The Hindu Publishing Group; retired judge TN Vallinayagam; Sumangali Rajendran Jayakar, director, International Initiatives, Le Tourneau University (USA); Cheyon, the publisher of the book; and Dr M Ponnavaikko, former vice-chancellor, Bharathidasan University, were among those who spoke about the contributions of Rajendran to the society as a civil servant and Governor.

BOSTON (AP) — Brady Singer pitched out of a bases-loaded, nobody out jam in the third and finished with six shutout innings on Saturday to lead the Kansas City Royals over the Boston Red Sox 9-0.
Pitching in Fenway Park for the first time, Singer (9-4) won his fifth straight decision, allowing five singles and a walk while striking out five. It was the second straight start without allowing a run for the 26-year-old College World Series champion from Florida.
MJ Melendez and Vinnie Pasquantino had three hits apiece for the Royals; Melendez scored four runs and Pasquantino drove in three. The first four batters in the Kansas City lineup went 10 for 20 with eight RBIs.
Rich Hill (7-7) gave up four runs on eight hits and a balk, striking out four.
The Red Sox loaded the bases on two singles and a walk with nobody out in the third inning and the top of the order coming up. But Singer got Tommy Pham to pop up in front of the mound, Rafael Devers was called out on strikes, and J.D. Martinez popped up to first base.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Red Sox right fielder Alex Verdugo lost a ball in the sun in the fifth inning when Pasquantino hit a liner directly at him. Verdugo stood helplessly until the ball bounced right in front of him and then off his right arm.
He picked it up and threw it in, but not before Bobby Witt Jr. had scored from first. The play originally was scored a single and an error, but then was changed to a double.
Center fielder Kiké Hernandez had more than the sun to contend with when he settled under Pasquantino’s high popup in the first inning. As Hernandez and Verdugo moved in to field the ball, a small flock of birds took off from where they were resting on the grass.
Hernandez managed to make the catch.
DEBUT
RHP Franklin German made his major league debut for Boston, coming in to start the sixth inning. It didn’t go well.
All four batters he faced reached — on two singles and a pair of walks. He left with the bases loaded and one run in, and Eduard Bazardo allowed another run to score when Melendez grounded into a fielder’s choice. Witt and Pasquantino singled to score two more and give the Royals n 8-0 lead.
UP NEXT
The series finale will see Boston RHP Nick Pivetta (9-11) face Kansas City’s Kris Bubic (2-11).

Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway where Cyrus Mistry died claimed over 60 lives in 2022
Over-speeding and error of judgement on a driver's part have played a role in many of these incidents.
News of former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry dying in a car accident in Maharashtra's Palghar district sent shockwaves through the country earlier this month. Official data shows that it was not an one-off incident. The 100-km stretch of Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway between Ghodbunder in Thane and Dapchari in Palghar district has witnessed 262 accidents this year, claiming at least 62 lives and leaving 192 persons injured, police officials said.
Over-speeding and error of judgement on a driver's part have played a role in many of these incidents. But officials say that poor maintenance of the road, lack of proper signage and absence of speed curbing measures too are among the factors responsible for the high number of accidents.
Also read: Cyrus Mistry was not wearing seat belt; car covered 20km in 9 minutes: Police
The stretch near Charoti, where the Mercedes car in which Mistry was travelling met with an accident on September 4, has seen 26 deaths in 25 serious accidents since the start of this year, said a Maharashtra highway police official.
The stretch near Chinchoti has reported 25 deaths in 34 serious accidents during the same period, while 11 persons have died in 10 accidents near Manor, he said.
"Charoti is a black spot when it comes to accidents, and so is the stretch of some 500 meters beyond it towards Mumbai," he said. The road curves before the Surya river bridge as one travels towards Mumbai and the three-lane carriageway narrows into a two-lane one, he said. "But there is no effective road signage or speed-curbing rumblers warning vehicle drivers before they reach the bridge," the official pointed out.
It was here that the car driven by gynaecologist Anahita Pandole at high speed ran into the road divider. Mistry and his friend Jehangir Pandole who were riding in the backseat died while Anahita and her husband Darius who was in the front-row passenger seat suffered serious injuries.
The safety-related guidelines of the Indian Road Congress seemed to have been overlooked by those who are responsible for the maintenance of the road, said another official.
Also read: Cyrus Mistry accident: Anahita Pandole undergoes pelvic reconstruction surgery
While the road comes under the purview of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the private agency which collects toll has the responsibility of maintenance, he added.
According to the guidelines, an ambulance must be kept on stand-by every 30 kilometers, and there should also be a crane and patrolling vehicles, the official said.
In the wake of the September 4 tragedy, Maharashtra Police has written to the Central Road Research Institute for expert opinion on safety measures that can be introduced and also asked the Central Institute of Road Transport to conduct a road-safety audit of the part of the highway which lies inside Maharashtra.

Parents arrested after allegedly encouraging their son to fight students sue school
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/Gray News) - Parents who were arrested last year and accused of encouraging their son to fight other students at a Tennessee high school, filed a lawsuit Thursday saying that their son was assaulted first and not protected by school officials, WVLT reported.
They are asking for $5,00,000 in damages, according to the lawsuit.
Knox County, the Board of Education, Farragut High School’s principal, two school resource officers and a deputy with the sheriff’s office were named as defendants in the documents.
Brent and Monica Pelusio say that their son was assaulted by a group of five athletes last September.
“During the assault, [the minor] was repeatedly hit and punched, including to his head and face,” the report said.
The next day, the parents say when they arrived to pick their son up from school, they saw him surrounded by approximately 10 or more students.
During the incident, the parents said that a school resource officer did not act at the beginning, but pepper sprayed their child once he tried to defend himself against the assault.
The school resource officer said in a 2021 police report that she was outside directing traffic when she heard and saw several students and Monica Pelusio yelling and causing a disturbance in the parking lot.
The officer said she recognized that a fight was about to start, so she ordered them to stop numerous times, but they refused. Brent Pelusio then allegedly entered the disturbance and was yelling for his son to fight another juvenile, officials said.
Both parents were ordered by the officer to return to their vehicle three times but continued, and encouraged their son to fight, according to the 2021 police report.
The officer said a fight between Brent and Monica Pelusio’s child and another student broke out despite refusing numerous orders to stop.
The parents were accused of refusing to stop their son from fighting and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a child, according to authorities.
As a result, the child and parents were arrested and charged. No members of the group were charged due to the incident, according to the documents.
The charge against the child was dismissed.
The parents have sued for a “violation of their right to be free from illegal seizure and prosecution.”

The Montana Constitution is in peril and its consequential protections towards citizens are at risk. I am an intern at the Montana Public Interest Research Group. The current Montana constitution has offered protections for us for over 50 years. It guarantees our right to privacy, right to a clean and healthful environment, and the right to oversee government proceedings. These rights are important because they guarantee public land and water access.
Public access to land and water means a lot in Montana. We use our access to land and water for hunting and fishing which is more than a part of our income; it is our way of life. A future where private entities can control which natural land and water sources are available for public use is not a future for the average Montanan. It is a future for the wealthy elite. I am writing today as a call to action for defending our constitution. A growing majority of state legislators plan to hold a constitutional convention to replace it entirely. The voters of Montana should protect our rights by voting against those who plan to strip our rights from us.

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — The speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, said Sunday that the United States deplores recent attacks by Azerbaijan and called for a negotiated solution to the countries' conflict.
Pelsoi's visit to the Armenian capital, Yerevan, with a congressional delegation came just a few days days after two days of shelling by both sides that killed more than 200 troops. It was the largest outbreak of hostilities in more than two years.
The two ex-Soviet countries have been locked in a decades-old conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, which is part of Azerbaijan but was long under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994.
During a six-week war in 2020, Azerbaijan reclaimed broad swaths of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent territories held by Armenian forces. More than 6,700 people died in that fighting.
Armenia and Azerbaijan each blamed the other for starting the shelling attacks last week.
Pelosi on Sunday met with Alen Simonyan, president of Armenia's parliament, and told reporters afterward that “Our meeting again had a particular importance to us because the focus was on security following the illegal and deadly attacks by Azerbaijan on the Armenian territory.
“We strongly condemn those attacks — we in our delegation on behalf of Congress — which threaten prospects for a much-needed peace agreement,” she said. “The United States ... has clearly and has long stated that there can be no military solution to the conflict. We continue to watch the situation closely and we continue supporting a negotiated, comprehensive and sustainable solution to all issues relating to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”
The Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry sharply criticized her comments.
“Pelosi’s baseless and unfair accusations against Azerbaijan are unacceptable," it said in a statement.
“We emphasize with regret that Pelosi, who speaks of justice, has not purposefully shown any position until today regarding the policy of aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan, the occupation of the territory of Azerbaijan for almost 30 years, the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis and other similar grave crimes, for which Armenia is responsible,” the ministry said.

Parents arrested after allegedly encouraging their son to fight students sue school
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/Gray News) - Parents who were arrested last year and accused of encouraging their son to fight other students at a Tennessee high school, filed a lawsuit Thursday saying that their son was assaulted first and not protected by school officials, WVLT reported.
They are asking for $5,00,000 in damages, according to the lawsuit.
Knox County, the Board of Education, Farragut High School’s principal, two school resource officers and a deputy with the sheriff’s office were named as defendants in the documents.
Brent and Monica Pelusio say that their son was assaulted by a group of five athletes last September.
“During the assault, [the minor] was repeatedly hit and punched, including to his head and face,” the report said.
The next day, the parents say when they arrived to pick their son up from school, they saw him surrounded by approximately 10 or more students.
During the incident, the parents said that a school resource officer did not act at the beginning, but pepper sprayed their child once he tried to defend himself against the assault.
The school resource officer said in a 2021 police report that she was outside directing traffic when she heard and saw several students and Monica Pelusio yelling and causing a disturbance in the parking lot.
The officer said she recognized that a fight was about to start, so she ordered them to stop numerous times, but they refused. Brent Pelusio then allegedly entered the disturbance and was yelling for his son to fight another juvenile, officials said.
Both parents were ordered by the officer to return to their vehicle three times but continued, and encouraged their son to fight, according to the 2021 police report.
The officer said a fight between Brent and Monica Pelusio’s child and another student broke out despite refusing numerous orders to stop.
The parents were accused of refusing to stop their son from fighting and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a child, according to authorities.
As a result, the child and parents were arrested and charged. No members of the group were charged due to the incident, according to the documents.
The charge against the child was dismissed.
The parents have sued for a “violation of their right to be free from illegal seizure and prosecution.”

TAIPEI, Taiwan — A strong earthquake shook much of Taiwan on Sunday, toppling a three-story building and temporarily trapping four people inside, stranding about 400 tourists on a mountainside, and knocking part of a passenger train off its tracks.
One person died and nine people had minor injuries, Taiwan's Emergency Operations Center said.
The magnitude 6.8 quake was the largest among dozens that have rattled the island's southeastern coast since Saturday evening, when a 6.4 quake struck the same area.
Most of the damage appeared to be north of the epicenter, which Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said was in the town of Chishang at the relatively shallow depth of 7 kilometers (4 miles).
In nearby Yuli town, a cement factory worker died and the three-story building, which had a 7-11 convenience store on the ground floor and residences above it, collapsed, the island's Central News Agency said.
The 70-year-old owner of the building and his wife were rescued first, but it took longer to get to a 39-year-old woman and her 5-year-old daughter.
A photo released by the Hualien city government showed the girl lying on a blanket and being handed down a metal ladder from the top of the debris by helmeted rescue workers in orange uniforms.
The top two stories of the building were left sprawled across a small street and onto the other side, with electricity wires pulled down by the fallen structure.
More than 7,000 households were reported without power in Yuli, and water pipes were also damaged. Shelves and musical instruments fell over at the Mount Carmel Presbyterian Church and a long crack ran down its floor. Outside, the pavement was broken into slabs of concrete.
Police and firefighters rushed to a bridge collapse on a two-lane road in what appeared to be a rural part of the same town where three people and one or more vehicles may have fallen off, according to media reports.
Also in Yuli, a landslide trapped nearly 400 tourists on a mountain famous for the orange day lilies that blanket its slopes this time of year, the Central News Agency said. They had no electricity and a weak cellphone signal.
Debris from a falling canopy on a platform at Dongli station in Fuli town, which is between Yuli and the epicenter at Chishang, hit a passing train, derailing six cars, the Central News Agency said, citing the railway administration. None of the 20 passengers were injured.
The shaking was felt at the north end of the island in the capital, Taipei. In Taoyuan city, west of Taipei and 210 kilometers (130 miles) north of the epicenter, a man was injured by a ceiling collapse on the 5th floor of a sports center.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory for several southern Japanese islands near Taiwan, but later lifted it.

Genshin Impact officials have revealed all the upcoming content for the next 3.1 update. Based on the new five-week schedule, the new patch is expected to be released on September 28, 2022, at 11 AM (UTC+8). The new patch will also unlock the Desert region of Sumeru as the main story progresses further.
As is the case with every new patch update, maintenance will be done, and all the servers will be shut down. Based on the previous maintenance schedule, the downtime should not last longer than five hours. Here's everything players need to know about the Genshin Impact patch 3.1 update release time, date, and maintenance countdown.
Release date and time for Genshin Impact patch 3.1
Genshin Impact officials have already made announcements about the new upcoming patch 3.1 update. The new update will expand the Sumeru nation and unlock the most-awaited desert area on the map. The new patch will also continue Archon Quest with two new Acts.
The new Patch 3.1 update will be globally launched at 11 AM (UTC+8) on September 28, 2022. It is worth mentioning that the servers will undergo maintenance on the same day before the new patch is rolled out. Using the previous update maintenance as a point reference, the 3.1 maintenance is expected to start at 6 AM (UTC+8) on September 28, 2022.
Genshin Impact 3.1 Maintenance Countdown
The countdown showcases exactly how much time fans have before the server goes down and the new 3.1 update is rolled out. Fans can choose to spend their resins and collect Primogems by completing the daily commissions before the update.
During maintenance, players won't be able to access their accounts until the servers are back online. Players who are logged in when the maintenance starts will be automatically kicked out of the game. Unless the developers state otherwise, the servers will be down for around five hours.
The good news is that players will be compensated for the time that they are unable to access their accounts. After the maintenance period, players will find a minimum of 300 Primogems in their in-game mailbox as a form of compensation for the server downtime. Players will need to be at least Adventure Rank 5 or above to claim the free Primogems.
Genshin Impact 3.1 preview page reveals what to expect from the new patch
Players who have missed the 3.1 livestream can check out the official tweet above that provides a brief idea about the latest content and new limited events. Some of the major changes are around the newly unlocked Sumeru Desert.
Meanwhile, three new characters from Sumeru will make their debut, and there will be two character reruns in the update. Here is a list of all the characters players can summon from the character event banners:
- Cyno
- Nilou
- Candace
- Venti
- Albedo
The new 5-star characters will also come with their signature weapons on Epitome Invocation (weapon banner). The new patch will also bring three limited events and one new Mondstadt-based festival that players can look forward to in Genshin Impact.

China doesn't need Russia as much as Vladimir Putin's country needs the Eastern powerhouse, according to experts who warn that the Kremlin leader will become increasingly 'isolated.'
The warmonger Russian premier is in danger of being left out in the cold by China if they have a sudden burst of humanity and decide to outright condemn the "special operation" in Ukraine and take their trade elsewhere.
At present, China has no outright desire to do so but the cracks are starting to show, with China's President Xi Jinping saying in a statement that his country was "willing to work with Russia to demonstrate the responsibility of big powers".

And Putin's response was telling after Narendra Modi, India's prime minister, told him that "today's time is not a time for war." The Russian leader said the Kremlin would "do our best to end this as soon as possible".
He showed his hand as referred to the aggression in Ukraine without it being explicitly mentioned beforehand, in a move that experts took to mean that he is feeling the pressure from other big powers who are not in favour of the war.
"China is a vastly larger economy, it's more integrated in the global economy. It's really Russia that's more dependent on China than the other way around," William Jackson, chief emerging markets economist at Capital Economics, told The Telegraph.
It is obvious that Russia is making marginal, or no, gains in Ukraine as it pumps funds into the war and further damages its international reputation.
This means the country is losing friends, fast, and worrying Chinese officials who met with Putin at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) leaders' summit in Samarkand, Uzbekistan on Friday, September 16.
"Chinese officials are worried about sanctions on Russia and the risks that secondary sanctions could be introduced that could affect them," Jackson added.
"They're not going to help Russia out at the expense of their own broader interests. For Beijing, the West is a much bigger market than Russia.
"It would be a big risk to face that threat of sanctions from the West just for the sake of continuing to do business with them."
Right now, China is very important to Russia at a time where barely any other country is buying their goods, particularly oil and gas.
"There's no other big market apart from China that Russia can sell its gas to," Alexander Gabuev, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington DC, said.
According to Chinese customs data, the countries traded $117.2bn of goods in the first eight months of 2022, already a 31 percent increase on the whole of last year.

Chinese spending on Russian goods soared 60 percent last month compared with a year ago, while the country's shipments to Russia jumped 26 percent to $8bn in the same period.
However, Russia constitutes just 2.8pc of China's total trade volume, dwarfed by the EU and US.
Maximilian Hess, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research (FPR) Institute, said that if Russia keeps haemorrhaging friends, it could end up like North Korea, despite its material wealth.
"It's going to look more like North Korea or Turkmenistan, even though Russia is larger and has more commodities," he told The Telegraph.

Kyrgyz-Tajik border conflict death toll rises to 81
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan said on Sunday the death toll from their border conflict had risen to 81 people, as a fragile ceasefire held between two Central Asian nations for a second day and their mutual ally Russia urged a de-escalation. The former Soviet republics clashed over a border dispute on Sept.
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan said on Sunday the death toll from their border conflict had risen to 81 people, as a fragile ceasefire held between two Central Asian nations for a second day and their mutual ally Russia urged a de-escalation.
The former Soviet republics clashed over a border dispute on Sept. 14-16, accusing each other of using tanks, mortars, rocket artillery and assault drones to attack outposts and nearby settlements. Central Asian border issues largely stem from the Soviet era when Moscow tried to divide the region between groups whose settlements were often located amidst those of other ethnicities.
Kyrgyzstan on Sunday reported 46 deaths from the earlier fighting and has also said it evacuated about 137,000 people from the conflict area. The government declared Sept. 19 a day of mourning for the victims. Kyrgyz media, which described the conflict as an invasion, reported on Sunday some of the evacuees have already started returning to their homes.
Tajikistan also reported its casualties on Sunday, saying that 35 people were killed. It has not reported any mass evacuations from the area. Tajikistan's foreign ministry said Kyrgyzstan continued a media campaign against it and noted that Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov used the term "enemy" to refer to Tajikistan in his Saturday address.
The two sides agreed a ceasefire on Sept. 16 which has largely held up despite several alleged incidents of shelling. Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone to Japarov and Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon on Sunday, the Kremlin said.
Putin urged the sides to prevent further escalation and to take measures to resolve the situation "exclusively by peaceful, political and diplomatic means as soon as possible", offering assistance, his office said in a statement.

(NEXSTAR) – Home buyers open to embracing a new state will get a lot more house for their money, a new study shows.
An analysis by The Ascent, which rates and reviews personal finance products, found that the average median home price in the first quarter of 2022 was $428,700.
In the 10th least expensive state, Louisiana, the average price is less than half that, at $214,522. If Mardi Gras, mouth-watering culinary options and a fascinating history are not enough to draw you to the Pelican State, don’t worry, there are cheaper options.
In Kentucky, home to the iconic Derby and Mammoth Cave National Park, the average price dips below $200,000, to $197,644.
See the full list, according to The Ascent:
There’s also good news for home buyers in all states. An analysis of home sales data by Redfin shows that, on average, U.S. homes purchased during a four-week period in August sold for less than what sellers were asking. That hasn’t happened since at least March 2021, according to the real estate brokerage.
“The only times you get homes going above list price is when there’s a bidding war, and those used to not be a regular occurrence,” said Daryl Fairweather, Redfin’s chief economist. “And we’re back to a place where bidding wars are unusual, not the norm.”
On average, 7.5% of homes for sale in the four weeks in August that Redfin tracked had a price drop each week, a record high, the company said.
That the typical home is now selling for below the asking price is a sign that the housing market is becoming a bit more balanced, or less skewed, toward sellers.
“It’s significant that now buyers know that when they’re bidding on a home chances are they can get it for less than the asking price and without a competing offer, which was not the case earlier this year,” Fairweather said.
That doesn’t mean some homes aren’t still drawing multiple offers. Some 37% of homes purchased in the four-week stretch of August analyzed by Redfin sold for more than their list price. That was down from 50% a year earlier, Redfin said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Soccer-Udinese beat Inter 3-1 to go top of Serie A
Inter, sixth in the standings, host AS Roma on Oct. 1 after the international break while Udinese travel to Hellas Verona on Oct. 3.
Udinese top the Serie A standings after goals from Jaka Bijol and Tolgay Arslan sealed a 3-1 home win over Inter Milan on Sunday, their fifth successive league victory. Italy midfielder Nicolo Barella curled a superb free kick past goalkeeper Marco Silvestri and into the top corner in the fifth minute to give Inter an early lead.
The hosts, however, levelled in the 22nd minute thanks to an own goal from Milan Skriniar after Beto's header from a Roberto Pereyra free kick bounced off the Inter defender and caught goalkeeper Samir Handanovic by surprise. Handanovic denied Udinese several times in the second period as Inter struggled to keep the hosts outside of their own half but their resolve was eventually broken in the 84th minute when Bijol scored from a Gerard Deulofeu corner.
Substitute Arslan made sure of the points in the third minute of stoppage time with a header from a Deulofeu cross. Inter, sixth in the standings, host AS Roma on Oct. 1 after the international break while Udinese travel to Hellas Verona on Oct. 3.

Behind the scenes of "The Amazing Race"
For the past 21 years, the CBS competition series "The Amazing Race" has tested the endurance of intrepid contestants on a race around the world, a global odyssey with a $1 million prize at the finish line.

Correspondent Tracy Smith tags along as the show's latest lineup of racers heads to Munich for the start of the show's 34th season, for a race in which there are no do-overs.

FOXBORO, MA – A season-high 35,455 fans were not enough to propel the slumping New England Revolution to victory as the Revs were blanked by CF Montreal , 1-0 on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.
Montreal scored the game’s lone goal in the 72nd minute when Alistair Johnson slotting banged home a feed from Romell Quioto.
On the deciding sequence, Romell Quioto broke free and found Johnston at the back post after the Revolution protested a non-call handling on Kamal Miller, who had been faked to the ground by Dylan Borrero.
“I looked at the replay and it looked like he handled the ball,” Revolution sporting director/head coach Bruce Arena said. “The VAR is highly unpredictable. This notion of clear and obvious, wouldn’t you think you would use video replay when it’s not clear and obvious? If it’s clear and obvious you should make the call. I think they’ve got the thing completely backwards.”
New England has lost three in a row for the first time since a four-match losing run that spanned late March and early April. The Revolution were outshot 18-10 overall, though they did tie Montreal in efforts on target and force Sebastian Breza into three saves.
Bruce Arena tried to shake things up to no avail, made three changes to his Starting 11 from Tuesday’s match with Jon Bell, Christian Makoun, and Justin Rennicks starting in place of DeJuan Jones, Maciel, and Wilfrid Kaptoum.
New England (9-12-11, 38 points) entered the match with its playoff hopes on the line. The 2021 Supporters’ Shield winners began the night in 10th in the East, three points behind seventh-place Columbus, which now has two games in hand entering Sunday’s home match against Portland.
The Revolution remain in playoff contention but they would be 3 points away from elimination should the seventh-place Columbus Crew defeat the Portland Timbers Sunday.
The Revolution have two games remaining. Next up Atlanta United FC on Saturday October, 1.

Liverpool resisted calls to sign another midfielder in the summer transfer window until an injury to Jordan Henderson forced them into the transfer market at the end of August.
They eventually did a quick deal with Juventus to loan Brazilian midfielder Arthur for the season and also boast an option to buy.
The jury is out on how effective Arthur will be at Anfield but former Red Aurelio believes that the midfielder does suit the way Liverpool play their football.
He stressed that in the way he plays, Arthur is similar to Thiago Alcantara and is hopeful the Reds can bring out his potential.
“From what I know about him, he should fit really well in Liverpool’s system”, Aurelio told Liverpool’s official site.
“He’s a player that likes to constantly be in the game, touching the ball, controlling the pace of play, liking to be dynamic – similar to what Thiago likes to do in a sense.
“I read [Jurgen] Klopp highlighted Arthur’s ‘potential’ shortly after he signed on loan.
“Here in Brazil, the expectations for him were really high prior to his move to Europe.
“He couldn’t be in a better place to fulfil his potential than at Liverpool under this manager.”
Arthur has made just one appearance for Liverpool so far, in a Champions League defeat away at Napoli.

Fukurokuju sells “Man’s Romance” on the menu.
We’ve perused some unusual menus in our time, but this week we came across an item that made our eyes pop and our jaws drop as it jumped off the paper at us with the words:
“Big Cock Roll”
In case you’re wondering, the “cock” in its name doesn’t refer to a rooster — it’s meant to mean “Big Penis Roll“, and it’s written as “巨根ロール巻” (“Kyokan Roll Maki”)
▼ To top if all off, the sign (bottom left in the image below) comes with a few love hearts around the blurb, which reads: “Man’s Romance“.
It certainly jumps out at the diner, along with a couple of other equally saucy signs that read: “Mokkori Gyoza Set Meal” (“Erection Gyoza Set Meal“) and “Beef Gingin Curry Udon” (“Beef Ecstasy Curry Udon“).
Our ever-adventurous reporter Masanuki Sunakoma was tempted to try them all, but he couldn’t resist getting his mouth around the Man’s Romance Cock Roll. So he called the waitstaff over to order it, and when he did, he found himself whispering quietly like a teenager buying condoms for the first time at a drugstore.
The person who took his order immediately lit up, taking great pleasure in saying loudly: “Well, the Big Cock might be tough today. Let me check for you“, before scurrying off to the kitchen. Masanuki looked down at his table, hoping the other diners hadn’t heard their conversation, only to hear the waitstaff calling out to the chef in the kitchen:
“Looks like we have a big cock. Can you handle it?”
Masanuki blushed as he felt the full room of diners smirking into their bowls of food. It was a ten-minute wait before the waitstaff returned, this time shouting, “Thank you for waiting! Here’s your Big Cock Roll!!”
▼ And there it was.
In fact, there was not one but TWO Big Cocks on the tray before him, and they weren’t joking when they said they were big. The weight of them made them seem more like ehomaki rolls made for a giant gorilla.
▼ Shaped like a can, and heavy.
These certainly weren’t your average makizushi sushi rolls, and what hid inside them was also impressive. Nestled in the centre was a filling of fried lean pork cutlet, salad, plum sauce, and cheese.
▼ Perhaps the only time a cheesy cock is acceptable.
Despite the heavy contents, the Big Cock Roll was surprisingly non-oily, due to the juicy tenderness of the meat, and refreshing, thanks to the fresh salad ingredients.
▼ Still, it was a mouthful.
Masanuki usually has a voracious appetite but even he couldn’t manage more than one of these in one sitting.
Thankfully, the restaurant allowed him to take the second roll home with him, in a pack that cost him an extra 30 yen (US$0.21). And thankfully, the waitstaff didn’t yell out “Customer taking a Big Cock home!” as he left the restaurant.
While a lot of diners will no doubt relish in the chance to order a Big Cock Roll, there are other non-suggestive meals on the menu for less adventurous diners.
▼ No cocks here, but still satisfying!
At 1,500 yen, the Big Cock Roll is a small price to pay for a memorable meal. Bonus points if you eat it around the time of the Japanese Penis Festival.

Penn State Coach James Franklin’s Dance Moves May Rival Mack Brown’s
With the college football non-conference slate beginning to wind down, Penn State and Auburn met in a Big Ten–SEC clash on Saturday afternoon.
While the Tigers ended up walking off their home field with their heads down, the Nittany Lions scrambled to the locker room to celebrate in spectacular fashion: by dancing with coach James Franklin.
Penn State thrashed Auburn on Saturday, building upon a one-score lead at halftime by putting up 27 points in the final two quarters to win 41–12. The Nittany Lions rushing attack was nearly unstoppable, racking up 245 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. The team’s defense also stifled the Tigers offense by forcing four turnovers in the win.
Penn State improved to 3–0 with the victory and every member of the team seemed to be in a good mood in the locker room. That included Franklin, who decided to jump into the postgame dance circle with his players and show off his moves.
After beginning the year unranked, the No. 22 Nittany Lions have shown that they could be a force to be reckoned with in the Big Ten this season. Next up for Penn State is Central Michigan, which will be the third and final non-conference game for the program in 2022.

Heavy rains prompt flooding concerns for parts of S. Florida
MIAMI - The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for several arears in South Florida as slow moving storms roll across the region, dropping heavy rain and bringing gusty winds.The flood advisory for Miami/Dade County to Miami Beach extends through 2:45 p.m. from Pompano Beach to Deerfield Beach. The heavy rain is expected for downtown Miami."A few more showers and storms are likely through the early evening," CBS Miami meteorologist Dave Warren said at 1 pm. The wet weather is expected to keep a lid on the high temperatures.The mercury is expected to only reach the upper 80s to low 90s The persistent wet weather is the result of a very moist, unstable atmosphere south of a stalled frontal boundary. That deep tropical moisture will keep the storm chance high for the rest of the week. Thursday will likely be the soggiest day of the week with widespread storms and heavy downpours possible. This weekend the rain chance will come back down to normal with the chance for our typical scattered storms on Saturday and Sunday.
Scientists warn South Florida coastal cities will be affected by sea level rise
MIAMI - Sea level rise is increasing at a dramatic rate. Scientists at the University of Miami warn that if we don't act soon, coastal cities and towns will slowly diminish. Scientists say a few decades from now, downtown Miami will be underwater.The tide is coming in and eventually it's not going to go back out," says Dr. Harold Wanless, a Geologist and Professor of Geography and Sustainable Development at University of Miami"Climate change is real. This isn't something that might happen," he says. "The problem is, sea level is rising at an accelerating rate now because of ice melting...

Former Lake Luzerne trustee charged with grand larceny
LAKE LUZERNE, N.Y. ( NEWS10 ) — A former Lake Luzerne trustee has been arrested for allegedly stealing from the South Warren Snowmobile Club (SWSC). State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli said Mark McLain, 72, of Lancaster, South Carolina, was charged with second-degree grand larceny.
Get the latest news, sports, weather and events delivered right to your inbox!McLain served as SWSC treasurer from 1999 to early 2020. He is accused of pocketing more than $127,000 that was supposed to be used for operating and maintaining the public snowmobile trails. He allegedly used the money for Lions Club expenses, to pay off his personal credit card balances in full, and was paid twice for the same reimbursements.
McLain also allegedly falsified claims to agencies for club funding and misrepresented SWSC’s finances to make it look like the club was in financial need. He allegedly falsified reimbursement claims to Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation’s “Snowmobile Trail Grant Program” and submitted duplicate claims for expenses that were actually for the Lions Club, not the snowmobile club.
Saugerties pair arrested after huge Ulster drug bustOfficials said the snowmobile club receives funding from Warren County, Queensbury, Lake Luzerne, the NYS Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, as well as the village and town of Lake George.
“McLain allegedly took advantage of his volunteer position and the citizens of Lake Luzerne’s trust to line his own pockets at the expense of valued community services,” said DiNapoli. “Thanks to the work of my team, Warren County District Attorney Carusone, and the New York State Police, McLain will have to answer for his misdeeds.”
Schoharie limo crash trial set for May 2023McLain was arraigned in Warren County Court. He is due back in Luzerne Town Court on November 19.

Strong quake kills 1, knocks house, derails train in Taiwan
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A strong earthquake shook much of Taiwan on Sunday, toppling a three-story building and temporarily trapping four people inside, stranding about 400 tourists on a mountainside, and knocking part of a passenger train off its tracks.
One person died and nine people had minor injuries, Taiwan’s Emergency Operations Center said.
The magnitude 6.8 quake was the largest among dozens that have rattled the island’s southeastern coast since Saturday evening, when a 6.4 quake struck the same area.
Most of the damage appeared to be north of the epicenter, which Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau said was in the town of Chishang at the relatively shallow depth of 7 kilometers (4 miles).
In nearby Yuli town, a cement factory worker died and the three-story building, which had a 7-11 convenience store on the ground floor and residences above it, collapsed, the island’s Central News Agency said.
The 70-year-old owner of the building and his wife were rescued first, but it took longer to get to a 39-year-old woman and her 5-year-old daughter.
A photo released by the Hualien city government showed the girl lying on a blanket and being handed down a metal ladder from the top of the debris by helmeted rescue workers in orange uniforms.
The top two stories of the building were left sprawled across a small street and onto the other side, with electricity wires pulled down by the fallen structure.
More than 7,000 households were reported without power in Yuli, and water pipes were also damaged. Shelves and musical instruments fell over at the Mount Carmel Presbyterian Church and a long crack ran down its floor. Outside, the pavement was broken into slabs of concrete.
Police and firefighters rushed to a bridge collapse on a two-lane road in what appeared to be a rural part of the same town where three people and one or more vehicles may have fallen off, according to media reports.
Also in Yuli, a landslide trapped nearly 400 tourists on a mountain famous for the orange day lilies that blanket its slopes this time of year, the Central News Agency said. They had no electricity and a weak cellphone signal.
Debris from a falling canopy on a platform at Dongli station in Fuli town, which is between Yuli and the epicenter at Chishang, hit a passing train, derailing six cars, the Central News Agency said, citing the railway administration. None of the 20 passengers were injured.
The shaking was felt at the north end of the island in the capital, Taipei. In Taoyuan city, west of Taipei and 210 kilometers (130 miles) north of the epicenter, a man was injured by a ceiling collapse on the 5th floor of a sports center.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory for several southern Japanese islands near Taiwan, but later lifted it.

The shocking physical change of Zendaya with which it will be impossible to recognize her
The actress leaves us open-mouthed with this physical change in which she leaves the brunette
Zendaya She may be one of the most beloved actresses in Hollywood today. I’m not saying it, but her figures speak for themselves: with more than 151 million followers on Instagram, many of us follow every movement of the interpreter with interest, and above all, her current relationship with Tom Hollandactor whom he met shooting Spider-Man: Homecoming and with which it continues as far as I know.
Zendaya’s physical transformation, in an image
Yes ok Zendaya has been in the news on multiple occasions for her physique, the interpreter stands out on this occasion for an unexpected transformation with which she abandons her dark hairand bet on a platinum blonde most striking. I leave the comparison below these lines so that you are the ones who draw the conclusions.
This publication, which appeared last September 11 in Twitter but it took time to go viral, accumulating more than 19,000 likes and hundreds of comments. Everyone was left with their mouths open with this physical change of Zendaya for several reasons:
- First, because we do not remember seeing the actress with her hair so blonde, and it suits you great. ✅
- Second, because it saves a certain resemblance to Jennifer Lawrence, and until now, at least I, had not taken it out. ✅
- And third, because it continues as gorgeous as ever. ✅
For now, Zendaya is preparing to shoot season 3 of Euphoriabut his most important project without a doubt is Dune: Part Two. It will be here where we see the actress in a block buster in which he already appeared in his first installment, although it will not be until the second when he acquires a leading role.

Entertainment of Sunday, 18 September 2022
Source: www.ghanaweb.com
Ghanaian high-life singer, Nii Addo Quaynor, known within the entertainment circle as Nii Funny has retracted and apologized for some negative comments he passed on women from the Ga community.
The singer, while promoting his craft in an interview with Halifax on Okay FM, revealed that his decision to settle down with an African-American woman instead of a lady from his ethnic group, Ga-Adangbe, was because women from the Ga community like begging for money.
“The women in Ga-Mashi don’t like me and are scared of me. I also don’t like some of their characters. They beg for money too much. Can I have 1,000gh or 2,000gh for a funeral cloth when the funeral is not directly related to them? They are also lazy and don’t like working,” he added.
These comments by the singer attracted several backlashes from the Ga community, for which he has come out to publicly apologize.
According to him, he has much respect for Ga women and that his comment was strictly about some Ga women he has had a personal dealing with.
In an official statement dated Saturday, September 17, he acknowledged the presence of some very industrious Ga women and apologized for creating a bad impression about them.

The best intentions were there, just like the latest female jogger who’s left this world one less pretty lady. As many of you who know me can say, if there’s room for a gap, I’ll be there. A crack in the perimeter wall will be exposed.
Why? We’re here to help people, not help people to the same degree of hurting them or putting them in jeopardy. I don’t understand how that’s an actual writing job. A diabetic has been lost for 2 days, some writers be giving them donuts. Best intentions.
Teaching men to be less boring comes at a price.
Teaching men to locate their inner fire is priceless.
Two totally different things. One hurts women and one makes women want to be the one to initiate first contact.
1. How does helping men be less boring hurt women? You may ask. Simple. By giving men options to mask their boringness, you are giving them fast food to bring to the date table. It’s fake. It’s not theirs. The next morning she will find out that they cannot cook. There’s another woman who was used.
2. By giving men a list of things women have stated they enjoyed men to be like, you give directions to her home to man without good intentions. A man without good intentions is able to learn from you, too. An abuser is able to, now, mask his narcissism.
3. Last example I’ll give. By giving men the list, we are promoting the idea that he knows what to do next. You give someone a fish, you will always have to.
…
Instead, build the man. By building the man, he will instinctively find himself, thus will not bring her to a Carolina Hurricanes Hockey, when his speed is golf. All we do by making men do things that are not in tune with who they are is, really just give them a way to have sex and leave.
Here is a list for men to do:
- Learn to cook 4 course meals (the cuisine you like). I like Peruvian, but I’m going to be honest, I’m much better making Pot Roast or tacos, ha-ha! It hurts to say this, but after trying for 5 years to make the world’s greatest taco, my wife comes along and murders me without even trying. Women don’t expect or probably want you to be better than them, so I wouldn’t put so much effort or effert into being Gordan Ramsey that your gender starts changing.
- Learn the sport you like. If you like all running sports, like me, do them all. But, still put her first in your life.
Learn how to decorate a house. - Be clean and organized Have a nice place that a lady would want to stay. Why? Navy SEALs are. When you kick the s**t out of one of them, a Heavyweight UFC Fighter, US Special Forces Soldier, or SAS, in addition you have been married happily for at least 5 years according to her privately giving an anonymous survey, I’ll be the first to say, “Hot damn, do whatever you want. You are writing the book now on how to be a man.”
- Unless your work is saving lives, holding a badge, wearing camouflage, or you have NASA on your shirt, have an 8–5 job, work-from-home job, or similar to where you can be present when she is present.
- Learn to navigate trails. Not saying women are not the best at navigating through trees and mountains, I’m just saying either have hiked there before or understand how terrain works.
- If you like video games, have some fun games that two women would play.
- After you’re officially dating, find what type of flowers she likes. One of the great things about the female brain is even if you get the wrong flowers, but it was surprise that shouts “I thought about you a lot”, they’ll love it.
Know how to fix things around the house and be willing to jump right in. - Be stronger than her, physically. Women tend to like that.
- Only swimmers, surfers, and models shave their chests
- Have good gear for your activities
- And more.
Thank you for reading!! Thank you for positive comments!!

Rapper Reason Confronts AKA Over “Amapiano” Diss In New Song “Lemons”
Rapper Reason Confronts AKA Over “Amapiano” Diss In New Song “Lemons”
Sizwe Alakine is taking no prisoners.
South African rapper Reason has confronted fellow hip hop artist AKA after the latter took a subliminal shot at him in the latest song, Lemons (Lemonade).
AKA released the Afrobeat song Lemons (Lemonade) on Friday, 16 September, which features talented lyricist Nasty C.
In the catchy Amapiano song, AKA took a dig at South African hip hop artists who seem to have jumped onto the Amapiano wave. He said:
“People say hip hop died. That’s nonsense,
Thank God they showed their true colours,
Switched up piano like Vultures.”
Rappers like Reason, Cassper Nyovest and Costa Titch have jumped onto the trend and released 100% Amapiano songs, which have become hits.
Cassper Nyovest released hits like Siyathandana; Costa dropped Big Flexa, while Reason gave fans Ujola Nobani.
Reason did not just switch to Amapiano. He changed his name and now has an Amapiano alter ego, Sizwe Alakine.
The rapper did not take AKA’s diss lightly. Reason took to his Twitter account to directly express his reservations and confront the Congratulate hitmaker on what he said.
So ruffled was Reason that he changed his Twitter username to ‘Sizwe Alakine iVulture’.
Reason tweeted:
“Hearing @akaworldwide say “Thank God they showed they true colours/ Switched up piano like Vultures” is problematic to me.
Especially from a hip-hop artist saying this on an Afro-beat record. Like… who you talking about exactly?”
AKA is yet to respond to Reason’s tweet. However, South Africans had responses to spew.
@Lesiba_str8:
“Mara wena you’ve never blown up as a rapper, it can’t be about you.”
@Kid_Ralphy:
“You misinterpreted that whole sequence, there are hip-hop artists that were siding with “hip-hop is dead” movement that’s who he was addressing.”
@MenziSbo:
“You, Sizwe. He’s talking about you and Cassper Nyovest.”
@SaneleNtshingi4:
“AKA never switched on hip hop, he got songs where he raps on an unfamiliar beat to the genre but he’s still hip hop. Wena Yu changed from Reason to Sizwe to go be in the piano culture, isn’t that switching? Y’all never called out AkA, he been doing this since back then.”

- Endured fitness struggles
- Playing regularly again
- Taking aim at World Cup
WHAT HAPPENED? The 19-year-old playmaker has missed far too much football for his liking in recent times, with a succession of fitness problems holding him back. He is now up to six appearances at club level in the 2022-23 campaign and believes he is ready to kick on in the Bundesliga and towards the World Cup finals with the USMNT.
WHAT THEY SAID: Reyna told reporters after coming through 62 minutes of action in a derby date with Schalke on Saturday: "I’m very, very excited to get back – it’s been a while since I’ve really been able to play.
"Today was kind of the first game when I really felt up to par and my legs felt really up to 100%, being able to push and do all the movements and I wasn’t really as gassed today as other games. I felt good today and felt I got a lot of the ball. I’m still working hard and hope that, after the international break, I‘m pretty close to being fully fit and playing a lot of games."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Reyna has made just four appearances for his country since October 2021, forcing him to sit out a Gold Cup triumph last summer and much of a successful World Cup qualifying campaign.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
WHAT NEXT FOR REYNA? The USA are due to face Japan in a friendly on Friday, before then taking on Saudi Arabia on September 27.

Singer shuts down Red Sox, Royals beat Boston 9-0
The series finale will see Boston RHP Nick Pivetta (9-11) face Kansas City’s Kris Bubic (2-11).
BOSTON (AP) — After scratching out just six runs in a four-game losing streak, the Kansas City batters felt like they owed their pitchers a little more support.
Then they realized Brady Singer didn’t really need it.
Singer delivered his second straight scoreless outing, pitching out of a bases-loaded, nobody out jam to deliver six shutout innings on Saturday and help the Royals beat the Boston Red Sox 9-0.
“It was a nice showing from the offense, take a little stress off the pitchers because they’ve been picking us up and we haven’t really been doing anything for them,” said first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, who had three hits and drove in three runs. “Brady doesn’t need any help, but it’s always nice when we give him something.”
Pitching in Fenway Park for the first time, Singer (9-4) won his fifth straight decision, allowing five singles and a walk while striking out five. The 26-year-old College World Series champion from Florida has not allowed a run in 13 innings over two starts, and he has not lost in eight starts since Aug. 3.
On a staff with six-time All-Star and 2009 Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke, Singer has developed into the No. 1 starter.
“The word ‘ace’ keeps coming out. We’re kind of waiting for one of our guys to take control of that,” manager Mike Matheny said. “We have a Hall of Famer with us in Zack, and he’s a guy that’s always going to lead the way. But to have somebody that’s going out on a consistent basis and giving us the kinds of starts, keeping us in games, at times even dominant. He’s just taking it to another level.”
MJ Melendez scored four runs and also had three hits for the Royals. The first four batters in the Kansas City lineup went 10 for 20 with eight RBIs.
Rich Hill (7-7) gave up four runs, eight hits and a balk, striking out four.
The Red Sox loaded the bases on two singles and a walk with nobody out in the third inning and the top of the order coming up. But Singer got Tommy Pham to pop up in front of the mound, Rafael Devers was called out on strikes, and J.D. Martinez popped out to first base.
“Not the situation I want to be in,” Singer said. “Tough inning there, but I got through it.”
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Red Sox right fielder Alex Verdugo lost a ball in the sun in the fifth inning when Pasquantino hit a liner directly at him. Verdugo stood helplessly until the ball bounced right in front of him and then off his right arm.
He picked it up and threw it in, but not before Bobby Witt Jr. had scored from first. The play originally was scored a single and an error, but then was changed to a double.
Center fielder Kiké Hernandez had more than the sun to contend with when he settled under Pasquantino’s high popup in the first inning. As Hernandez and Verdugo moved in to field the ball, a small flock of birds took off from where they were resting on the grass.
Hernandez managed to make the catch.
DEBUT
RHP Franklin German made his major league debut for Boston, coming in to start the sixth inning. It didn’t go well.
All four batters he faced reached — on two singles and a pair of walks. He left with the bases loaded and one run in, and Eduard Bazardo allowed another run to score when Melendez grounded into a fielder’s choice. Witt and Pasquantino singled to score two more and give the Royals an 8-0 lead.
UP NEXT
The series finale will see Boston RHP Nick Pivetta (9-11) face Kansas City’s Kris Bubic (2-11).

Jason Momoa had a little cry to his mother when he had to re-record the highly-charged last scene of his TV show See.
The third and final season of the Apple TV+ dystopian sci-fi drama, in which the 43-year-old plays warrior Baba Voss, is currently being shown on the streaming site.
In an interview with Collider, Jason revealed saying goodbye to the character was an emotional chapter in his career - especially as he had to go back and rerecord the vocals - known as looping - after filming had wrapped.
"I had to go back in, emotionally go through that rollercoaster and hit all the marks but all at the same time, give it 110 per cent," he told the outlet. "'Cause if I gave it any less, I would be f**king over everything that I worked hard for three seasons. So, I knew I was screwed. Went out, and I called my mom - like any man does, calls their mom - cry to my mom, be bummed out about it."
Next, Jason called artist Julian Schnabel, one of his close friends, who encouraged him to go in and give it everything he had.
"And I walk in, I do it. I'm just quiet," the Aquaman star continued. "I start going about it. And I emotionally go through it, do all the action, go through all the breathing, do everything I need to do. And I'm a f**king wreck. I'm emotionally drained. I say goodbye to Baba. I walk out to the car, and I'm hysterical for a very long time. For the rest of the day, it was brutal."
Despite the strong emotions attached to the final scene, Jason admitted that he can't wait for fans to see it and feels grateful the show got to end on its own terms.

Pensioner Robert Allen has been hit with a three year driving ban after he was caught drink-driving for the fourth time. The 67-year-old was stopped after police saw him driving at speed.
He provided a positive roadside breath test and was taken to custody where he gave a reading of 72 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, more than twice the legal limit of 35. Now Allen has been hit with a £555 court bill at North Staffordshire Justice Centre.
Prosecutor Sara Beddow said police saw the defendant driving at speed and pulled over his Vauxhall Viva on Leek Road, Hanley, just before midnight on August 28. Miss Beddow said: "They asked if he had been drinking and he replied, 'I have had one or two'.

"He provided a positive roadside breath reading and at the police station he was breathalysed and gave a reading of 72 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, against the legal limit of 35."
The court heard the defendant has three previous convictions for drink-driving, the most recent in 2018 making him liable to a minimum three year ban.
Allen, of William Birch Court, Hoveringham Drive, Eaton Park, pleaded guilty to drink-driving.
Paige Morgan, mitigating, said the defendant was a victim of an assault 20 years ago and it affected his eating. She said: "He had not eaten for 30 hours on that day. He had been out for a social drink. He had not had that much to drink but he had not consumed any food."
District Judge Marcus Waite fined Allen £300 and ordered him to pay £135 costs and a £120 surcharge. He told the defendant: "You were stopped because the police were concerned about your driving. You did stop and you did co-operate. The reading was 72 at the police station, more than twice the legal limit. You have a poor history of drink-driving."

This Sunday morning (18), a ton of content from GTA 6 appeared on the Internet. The files, shared by a user who “hacked Uber a few days ago”, show dozens of images and gameplay clips, highlighting the performance of two protagonists still in the alpha stage of development.
According to the journalist Jason Schreier, from Bloomberg, the documents are legitimate and corroborate previous information about the game. A number of content has been covered, such as the store robbery system, interaction with open world NPCs, male and female character details and much more.
Not that there was much doubt, but I’ve confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend’s massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is indeed real. The footage is early and unfinished, of course. This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games

Not that there was much doubt, but I confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend’s massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is indeed real. The captures are from early and unfinished stages, of course. This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games.
Apparently, GTA 6 should take place in a city similar to Miami – nothing has been confirmed about the inclusion of Vice City as a main map. According to forums on Reddit, parts of the “source code and assets for GTA 5 and 6″ have also been shared and it looks like this will be the biggest concern for Rockstar Games at the moment.
Numerous files are already posted on social networks such as twitter and YouTube, with much of the content still active and available for playback. It is worth remembering that GTA 6 has not yet been revealed and these materials are disclosed as a leak and should not reflect an eventual final version.
Rockstar will prioritize offline in GTA 6
Recently, information published by insider “Tez2” suggested that Rockstar will give priority to single-player gameplay in GTA 6. According to him, future DLCs for the game will focus on the offline campaign and include packs with cities, quest updates and expansion through more exploration sites. Click here to learn more.

Arsenal’s young talent, Ethan Nwaneri has become the youngest player ever in the Premier League. He made his debut on Sunday, as Arsenal trashed Brentford 3-0, in the later’s home.
Nwaneri, who was born in 2007, to Nigerian parents, was 15 years and 181 days old, as he made his debut for the gunners at Gtech Community Stadium, 90 minutes into the game. The attacking midfielder was promoted to the Arsenal first team this week after impressing in the club’s U-18 and U-21 teams.
Nwaneri, who had scored four times and also assisted four times this season for the U-18s and U-21s, currently plays in England’s U-16s and has also made one cap with the U-17s. He could also be eligible as a prospect to play for Nigeria.
The youngster, surpassed Liverpool’s Harvey Elliot’s 16 years, 30 days record as the youngest EPL player and Cesc Fabregas’ 16 years, 5 months record as Arsenal’s youngest player ever.
Arsenal fans could be heard chanting, “You’ve got school in the morning,” to Nwaneri, as he came on the pitch, just as Arsenal moved back to the top of the table with Sunday’s win against Brentford.
The club on its official Twitter handle @Arsenal, said, “15 years and 181 days. The youngest player in Premier League history. Congratulations, Ethan Nwaneri @ArsenalAcademy.”
Nwaneri had been expected to spend the season with Arsenal U-18s but he was quickly promoted to the Under-21s following his impressive performances.
Injuries to captain Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko, had left Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, short of midfield options.
“We are pretty short and opportunities come when issues arise,” said Arteta, “We have the opportunities to bring young players on.”
He made headlines last year when he scored on his debut for the U-18s as a 14-year-old.

BATESVILLE — Batesville residents are invited to crimp their hair, flip up their collars and rock some leg warmers in celebration of Batesville Middle School Choir students’ performance of the pop-rock musical comedy Xanadu JR., beginning September 30.
A student version of the award-winning Broadway musical, Xanadu JR. is set in 1980, done in the style of a classic Greek tragedy and follows a Greek Muse named Kira who chooses to help and guide a struggling artist.
The musical comedy features an original hit score by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, which includes songs like “Magic,” “All Over The World,” “Suddenly,” “I’m Alive,” “Evil Woman,” “Have You Never Been Mellow” and “Xanadu.”
Xanadu JR. is part of the Music Theatre International Broadway Junior Collection®, MTI’s special collection of musicals for young performers which includes “JR.” titles, 60-minute musicals for performance by middle school children and “KIDS” titles, 30-minute musicals for performance by elementary school children.
“The students from Batesville Middle School are working together to tell this vibrant musical story about overcoming obstacles in order to pursue one’s artistic passion. We think you’ll agree that their communication, collaboration and creativity is a quantifying-life lesson,” said Freddie Gershon, CEO of MTI.
About Xanadu JR.
A hilarious musical adventure about following your dreams in the face of obstacles, Xanadu JR. follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek Muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980.
Kira is on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time... the first ROLLER DISCO! (Remember, it’s 1980). But when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds.
Xanadu JR. features a charmingly witty book by Douglas Carter Beane and great pop music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar. The student version of the show is based on the Tony nominated Broadway musical, which was based on the 1980 Universal Pictures film with a screenplay by Richard Danus and Marc Rubel, which in turn, was inspired by the 1947 film “Down to Earth.”
Batesville Midde School Choirs will present the MTI Broadway Junior production Xanadu JR. at 7 p.m. September 30 and October 1 at the Batesville High School Auditorium, 1 Bulldog Blvd, Batesville.
Tickets are now available and cost $10 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets may be purchased by visiting https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/66816. Tickets will also be available at the door.
Xanadu JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

Toney (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Toney was a late addition to New York's Week 2 injury report, having a cap on his reps both Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring injury. While rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was ruled out Friday, Toney will be given a chance out of the team's receiving corps this weekend. Toney will be on the lookout for his first target for the campaign after taking two carries for 23 yards in Week 1 in Tennessee.

PHOENIX (AP) — Simmering discontent among a segment of Arizona Republicans over John McCain’s famous penchant for bucking his party boiled over in the winter of 2014 with the censure of the longtime U.S. senator.
McCain’s allies responded with an all-out push to reassert control over the Arizona Republican Party. Censure proponents were ousted or diminished, and McCain went on to defeat his far-right challenger in a blowout during the 2016 primary.
Less than a decade later, the right wing forces that McCain marginalized within the Arizona GOP are now in full control, with profound implications for one of the nation’s most closely matched battlegrounds. Arizona Republicans have traded McCain for Donald Trump.
“We drove a stake in the heart of the McCain machine,” Kari Lake, making a dramatic stabbing gesture, said in a speech days after she won the Republican primary for governor in early August.
Lake, a well-known former television news anchor, has delighted segments of the state’s GOP base that have long been at odds with their party’s establishment and want their leaders to confront Democrats, not compromise with them.
She draws large, enthusiastic crowds that are unusually energized for a midterm election. Her fans erupt in rapturous applause when she takes a shot at the media or pledges to repel the “invasion” at the southern border.
“She’s for border control. She’s a MAGA person. She is fighting the establishment. And that, to me, is enough,” said Bob Hunt, a Republican in Tucson who attended a Lake rally this summer.
McCain, who died in 2018, never lost a race in his home state. But his maverick brand of Republicanism is in retreat after election-denying allies of the former president swept GOP primaries this month from governor and U.S. Senate down to the state Legislature.
Kelli Ward, the primary challenger McCain trounced in his last re-election campaign, was elected state GOP chair in 2019. She broke with precedent for party leaders and campaigned openly for Trump’s slate of candidates ahead of the primary this year.
It is in some ways a return to roots for Republicans in Arizona, a state with a long history as a crucible for emerging strands of conservatism.
Barry Goldwater, an Arizona senator from the 1950s through the 1980s, pushed the GOP in a new direction, laying the groundwork for conservative and libertarian movements. He gave voice to anti-elite grievances and racial anxieties that have contributed to Trump’s appeal.
McCain replaced Goldwater in the Senate, representing an Arizona reshaped by decades of migration. Young families flocked to affordable neighborhoods in and around Phoenix, and retirees escaping the snow settled in new golf communities attracting seniors.
McCain eventually built a national profile as a fiscal conservative unafraid — even eager — to buck GOP leadership. He helped pass campaign finance reform legislation and worked on unsuccessful immigration reform and climate change legislation. In one of his last defiant decisions, he gave a dramatic thumbs down vote to kill legislation that would have repealed former President Barack Obama’s health care law.
McCain won over independents and some Democrats to overwhelmingly win reelection. But the apostasies that appealed to more moderate voters made him a pariah to many within his own party.
Democrats think this year’s slate of Trump-backed nominees gives them a fighting chance to win some of the top offices on the ballot. If the Republicans win, officials who refuse to accept Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election will hold the levers of power with the ability to set election laws and certify results in a state that plays an important role in determining control of Congress and the presidency.
Ideological factions are always at tension within political parties, and Arizona Republicans have long hosted a particularly raucous tug-of-war. Pro-business, limited government conservatives — such as McCain, former Sen. Jeff Flake and termed-out Gov. Doug Ducey — are derided as “Republicans in name only” by a base eager to fight culture war battles.
Still, a large chunk of Republican voters like the establishment brand. Lake had a tough primary race against Karrin Taylor Robson, a conservative businesswoman and longtime donor to mainstream candidates from both parties. Lake, Finchem and the other successful Trump allies all won their primaries with less than 50% of the vote in multi-candidate fields.
“The people we put up are not conservative,” said Kathy Petsas, a Republican activist who backed mainstream Republicans in the primary. “There’s nothing conservative about lying about the results of the 2020 election. When we undermine our democratic institutions, there’s nothing conservative about that.”
But rarely have the insurgents been as dominant as they are now in Arizona. The GOP nominees for nearly all statewide offices push lies about the 2020 election.
Lake incessantly went after Ducey, McCain, Flake and others she labeled “Republicans in name only” on her way to winning the GOP nomination for governor. She joined with Mark Finchem, who won the primary for secretary of state, in a lawsuit seeking to require hand-counting of ballots; they lost, but filed an appeal this week.
U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar was censured by the House and lost his committee assignments for posting a video depicting violence against Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The primary winners represent those who control the Arizona Republican Party today and are fiercely loyal to Trump, who was just the second Republican since the 1940s to lose Arizona.
Last year, the party censured McCain’s widow, Cindy McCain, for endorsing Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, along with Flake and Ducey. Flake decided not to run for re-election in 2018 after his criticism of Trump infuriated the base and promised a fierce primary battle.
“Unfortunately, all these election deniers were successful here in Arizona, in a swing state,” said Bill Gates, the Republican chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, which has faced vitriolic backlash for defending the 2020 election against Trump’s false claims of fraud. “So we’ll see if those folks are able to win in the general election. I think that will give us a feel on where this party is headed in the future.”
Gates was censured by Legislative District 3 Republicans last month for saying election-denying GOP candidates may have to lose for the party to find its way.
Rusty Bowers, the staunchly conservative speaker of the state House, also has found himself ostracized by his party for taking a stand against Trump’s lies. He lost the primary in his bid to move to the state Senate.
Bowers last month said Trump has “thrashed our party” and that the Arizona GOP faces a “hard reckoning” if it continues to bully those who don’t fall in line with the former president’s demands.
For now, the far-right wing of the party is ascendant and sees no need to moderate.
Days after Lake won the primary for governor, her campaign shared a video of Goldwater’s speech accepting the 1964 Republican nomination for president.
“I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice,” he said. “And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
The crowd erupted. Goldwater went on to win just six states in the second most lopsided defeat in a presidential race in U.S. history, but he remained a hero to many in his home state.
Lake’s official campaign Twitter account said a united party would bring “a Conservative revival” to the state in the general election: “The Party of Goldwater has risen like a Phoenix.”

Juliette Binoche spoke about what she described as the challenging process of working with Jean-Luc Godard during a press conference at the San Sebastian film festival.
Binoche — who is at the festival to receive a Donostia award, the festival’s prestigious lifetime achievement gong — was asked to talk about Godard following news of his death earlier this week. In response, she began to discuss the process of auditioning for their sole collaboration, the 1985 film Haily Mary.
“There was a series of casting I did with him that lasted a long time. And then in the last rehearsal, I had to be naked, combing my hair, and saying a poem I learned by heart,” she said. “He didn’t choose me for the role but he created a new role for me.”
Binoche continued to say that Godard was unlike any other directors she had previously encountered while working on the stage who were warm people that supported their performers.
“Not with Jean-Luc Godard. It was like a cold shower,” she said. “I felt in him a sort of contrast and conflict as if he was seeking something he couldn’t find. And we had to be available to him all the time. I spent five months. It wasn’t an easy relationship but at the same time I felt happy.”
Binoche added that one of Godard’s most awkward idiosyncrasies was that he banned his actors from wearing makeup, which meant her face would often turn red in front of the camera as she struggled to hide her discomfort.
“I was very afraid,” she said. “I had to hide that anguish.”
She added: “It wasn’t easy for me. I learned that I couldn’t wait for anything from him. I had to be prepared. He told me things that were essential, but during the shooting of the film, it wasn’t easy.”
Later during the presser, Binoche was joined by veteran filmmaker Claire Denis whom she most recently worked with on the Berlinale-winner Both Sides Of The Blade. As part of the Donostia award celebrations, Binoche will present a screening of the film alongside Denis.
The film stars Binoche alongside Vincent Lindon and is the story of a woman caught between two men, her long-time partner, and his best friend, her former lover. During the presser, Binoche was asked about how she has managed to maintain a dynamic career with roles in films like Both Sides Of The Blade and avoid being typecast as an older woman.
“I don’t know whether it’s films in France or in Europe, but in any case, I don’t feel it that way. I don’t see it as such. I don’t know if I’m very lucky or if it’s my relationship with directors like Claire [Denis] but I know there are other women that are suffering in a more codified cinema or films,” she said. “But quite often you have to say no to these films where they call me to be the wife of someone. I often say no.”
She added that actors must learn to reject roles “where we are only seen in a certain way” or that are shaped by “sexist codes.”
Denis later interjected saying that the topic of age in cinema is a question she is often asked by journalists.
“That idea of youth linked to desire and love is an idea that is very sad and pitiful,” she said.
“I don’t understand this idea of maturity. The idea of being an actress or actor means you’re not gonna be an object. The idea is to show the life of the soul and show desire. And when I see Juliette, when I filmed her in this film, I saw her beauty but not the beauty because she is a good-looking woman. Something deeper. Of course, Juliette is beautiful, but that’s not what we’re filming. We’re filming her strength.”
Binoche added that the real challenge of ageing in front of the camera is that it “forces you to be true.”
On the future of her career, Binoche said she is not interested in becoming a director, but she will expand into the world of TV.
“I am now finishing a TV series because I have now ventured into the world of TV,” she said. “My next film will be with Lance Hammer, an American director. This is his second film. And then Uberto Pasolini, based on a script by Edward Bond.”

The cheapest US homes are in these 10 states: study
(NEXSTAR) – Home buyers open to embracing a new state will get a lot more house for their money, a new study shows.
An analysis by The Ascent, which rates and reviews personal finance products, found that the average median home price in the first quarter of 2022 was $428,700.
In the 10th least expensive state, Louisiana, the average price is less than half that, at $214,522. If Mardi Gras, mouth-watering culinary options and a fascinating history are not enough to draw you to the Pelican State, don’t worry, there are cheaper options.
In Kentucky, home to the iconic Derby and Mammoth Cave National Park, the average price dips below $200,000, to $197,644.
See the full list, according to The Ascent:
There’s also good news for home buyers in all states. An analysis of home sales data by Redfin shows that, on average, U.S. homes purchased during a four-week period in August sold for less than what sellers were asking. That hasn’t happened since at least March 2021, according to the real estate brokerage.
“The only times you get homes going above list price is when there’s a bidding war, and those used to not be a regular occurrence,” said Daryl Fairweather, Redfin’s chief economist. “And we’re back to a place where bidding wars are unusual, not the norm.”
On average, 7.5% of homes for sale in the four weeks in August that Redfin tracked had a price drop each week, a record high, the company said.
That the typical home is now selling for below the asking price is a sign that the housing market is becoming a bit more balanced, or less skewed, toward sellers.
“It’s significant that now buyers know that when they’re bidding on a home chances are they can get it for less than the asking price and without a competing offer, which was not the case earlier this year,” Fairweather said.
That doesn’t mean some homes aren’t still drawing multiple offers. Some 37% of homes purchased in the four-week stretch of August analyzed by Redfin sold for more than their list price. That was down from 50% a year earlier, Redfin said.

CUTE: Husky becomes neighborhood watchdog on roof
PHOENIX, Ariz. (KNXV) – A dog that loves to hang out on the roof of her house is becoming the talk of the town in Arizona.
Nala the husky scales the balcony in her backyard to get up on the roof, and it’s drawn the attention and concern of people passing by.
The envy can be seen from lap dogs across the street as Nala is clearly the most popular girl on the block. Her owner, Jason Camarena, said a lot of people love her.
“Honestly, they want to take pictures every time they see her,” he said.
Nala isn’t a typical pet. She takes being “man’s best friend” to the next level and acts as full security detail.
“One person actually came and knocked on her door and thought she was a statue because she just stood there like she did not move at all,” Camarena said.
Her owners have posted on social media that she’s not stuck on the shingles, but that hasn’t stopped the gawkers.
Even law enforcement showed up, with Glendale police arriving for a call about Nala while KNXV was there.
True in form, Nala can be seen looking down from the rooftops, prompting neighbors to give her the nickname “Pigeon.”
“It’s funny because when she’s up there they’re still up there,” Camarena said. “The pigeons.”
When other family members couldn’t provide the backyard Nala needed, Camarena and his mom offered their home two years ago.
He said she’s liberally taken to that freedom.
“Now she’s very happy and outgoing,” Camarena said. “We try to give her a limit, like, maybe like 20 minutes, half hour, but during the winter she could stay out there as long as she wants. we don’t mind. At the end of the day, you know, she’s just enjoying the view up there.”
Her owners said Nala also has a pool in her backyard where she loves to take breaks to cool off.

(NEXSTAR) – He won multiple Emmys. He was nominated for an Academy Award. And he also played a part in popularizing Cap’n Crunch for generations of cereal-chomping kids.
The late Allan Burns is probably better known as the co-creator of such sitcoms as “My Mother the Car” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” but before that, he was a young writer and animator working for Jay Ward, the producer of such animated series as “Crusader Rabbit” and “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.”
In 1962, Burns was working at Jay Ward Productions when he got a call from Ward, who was off on vacation. Ward had forgotten he had scheduled a meeting with some Chicago-based advertising executives working for Quaker Oats, who were looking to build a campaign around a new cereal. Ward asked Burns to take a stab at it, but not before trying some of the cereal, which Ward had kept in a bag in his office.
“I tasted it, and … it tasted like it was going to shred my mouth, it was so crunchy,” Burns said in a 2004 interview with the Television Academy. “And I called Jay [Ward] back and I said, ‘I think I’ve got a [tagline]: It’s not, “It stays crunchy, even in milk” — it would be, “Stays crunchy, even in hydrochloric acid.” This stuff is going to shred children’s mouths all over America.’”
Ward nevertheless asked Burns to “whip something together” over the next few days, so he drew up a “Horatio Hornblower-figure” he named “Cap’n Crunch, as well as a slew of supporting characters for television commercials or a possible cartoon series.
Burns ended up pitching the idea to the ad executives, who apparently thought it was funny before leaving to pursue meetings with other animation houses, including Hanna-Barbera. But about a month later, Burns learned that Jay Ward Productions had successfully sold the idea to Quaker Oats.
Burns had also earned himself a bonus, though it wasn’t anywhere near the “millions” he estimated his creation earned for Quaker Oats.
“I got a thousand dollars for creating this thing. That was it,” he said.
Burns probably wasn’t miffed for too long. He and Chris Hayward, a fellow writer for Jay Ward Productions, pitched an idea for a half-hour sitcom (loosely inspired by the Addams Family cartoons in the New Yorker) that went on to become “The Munsters.” Within a few years, they also co-created “My Mother the Car,” and later became writers and story consultants on “Get Smart.”
But perhaps Burns’ biggest hit was “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which he co-created with James L. Brooks. The show aired for seven seasons and spawned three spin-offs — “Rhoda,” “Phyllis” and “Lou Grant” — all of which Burns wrote for. He was also the executive producer of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Rhoda” and “Lou Grant,” among other popular shows listed in his IMDb credits.
Over the years, Burns picked up several Emmy Awards, mostly for writing and producing “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” but also for “He & She,” a comedy series starring Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin that he wrote for in the late ‘60s. He would later earn an Academy Award nomination for co-writing 1979’s “A Little Romance” starring Laurence Olivier.
Burns passed in Jan. 2021, leaving behind a body of work that entertained generations of viewers, young and old.
And if he indeed encouraged a few kids to “shred” their mouths on some super-crunchy cereal along the way, so be it.

A family of sea otters emerges from the ocean and rambles up the rocky shoreline, while a great blue heron in search of a meal pokes at a wall of rocks.
Fountains of water squirt upwards from clams that have buried themselves across the beach.
Ken Thomas, standing on a rocking boat just off British Columbia’s Salt Spring Island, marvels at the beauty and bounty of the ancient Fulford Harbour sea garden.
He reflects on how the long row of rocks piled along the shoreline represents both past and modern-day West Coast Indigenous culture.
“I’m like, ‘My ancestors touched this, were part of building this.’ It’s something more special than a pile of rocks to hold clams,” said Thomas, the fisheries, wildlife and natural resources director for the Penelakut Tribe on southern Vancouver Island.
For years, academics wondered about the origins of the long string of rocks piled along the tide line. The answer came when they spoke to local First Nations, who said the rocks were sea gardens created by their ancestors as cultivation sites thousands of years ago.
Indigenous Peoples used the tides to trapclams, mussels, kelp and fish in the shallows once the water receded.
Now, Indigenous leaders hope to to gain approval for clam harvesting at the sea garden site on Salt Spring Island’s coast, and another at nearby Russell Island in Gulf Islands National Park, both of which are undergoing restoration. They are thousands of years old.
Thomas said on a recent trip to the sites that all participants want to ensure the clams and other food from the gardens are safe to harvest, which involves testing by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Canadian Food Inspection Agencyand Environment and Climate Change Canada.
He said he’s optimistic harvesting approval could come within one year, although others suggest it could be three or four years.
Indigenous nations, Parks Canada, scientists and academics are jointly participating in the restoration of the sea gardens, located along ancestral territories of Coast Salish First Nations who travelled the Gulf Islands trading and gathering food.
The COVID-19 pandemic halted efforts to restore the sea gardens, but the rebuilding work is resuming, Thomas said.
“When the tide comes in and out, it’s got the seeds floating around in the current, and if you’ve got a wall there, the seed will get stuck behind the wall when the tide goes out and settle into the beach,” said Thomas.
“These gardens have been here for generations and generations, pre-contact,” he said.
Elizabeth May, Saanich-Gulf Islands member of Parliament and former Green Party leader, said the presence of the rock walls on B.C. beaches had confounded scientists for years.
“We are, as settler-culture Canadians, blind to what’s right in front of us,” she said. “A wall along the side of an island, and to know that for quite a long time our expert geologists we’re baffled by these walls. Where did they come from? How were they formed?
“How about the obvious thing: Indigenous people moved the rocks to create a place to ensure food supplies of multiple species,” said May.
The work to restore the sea gardens involves aeration, debris removal and some harvesting and marks them as much more than heritage zones, said Nicole Norris, a First Nations partnerships co-ordinator who works for the Solicitor General’s Ministry.
“We’re not just here removing and filtering rocks through a wall,” she said. “We’re creating a sustainable food source in the same way that our old ones did.”
Adam Olsen, the Gulf Island region’s Green representative in the B.C. legislature, said sea gardens were managed for thousands of years until colonial settlers banned Indigenous Peoples from the beaches.
“This is an example of environmental racism,” said Olsen, who’s a member of the Victoria-area Tsartlip First Nation. “These policies are used to deliberately disconnect Indigenous people from their lands.”
The work to jointly restore the sea gardens is “inspirational,” considering past government policies of prohibiting access and disregarding Indigenous knowledge, said Erich Kelch, the sea garden project’s restoration manager for Parks Canada.
“It’s foundational how government and First Nations can be working together in a positive way on the land that’s taking care of it for future generations,” he said.
For the longest time, the government disregarded and even disbelieved the traditional Indigenous practices of managing the land, he said.
“And this is trying to change that, recover that and restore that and build a better future,” Kelch said.
Thomas said he once considered moving rocks as a form of exercise, but when he’s at the sea gardens it becomes a matter of cultural rebuilding.
“It’s more than just a clam bed,” he said. “It’s more than just a rock wall. It’s the connections there that our people have.”

CUTE: Husky becomes neighborhood watchdog on roof
PHOENIX, Ariz. (KNXV) – A dog that loves to hang out on the roof of her house is becoming the talk of the town in Arizona.
Nala the husky scales the balcony in her backyard to get up on the roof, and it’s drawn the attention and concern of people passing by.
The envy can be seen from lap dogs across the street as Nala is clearly the most popular girl on the block. Her owner, Jason Camarena, said a lot of people love her.
“Honestly, they want to take pictures every time they see her,” he said.
Nala isn’t a typical pet. She takes being “man’s best friend” to the next level and acts as full security detail.
“One person actually came and knocked on her door and thought she was a statue because she just stood there like she did not move at all,” Camarena said.
Her owners have posted on social media that she’s not stuck on the shingles, but that hasn’t stopped the gawkers.
Even law enforcement showed up, with Glendale police arriving for a call about Nala while KNXV was there.
True in form, Nala can be seen looking down from the rooftops, prompting neighbors to give her the nickname “Pigeon.”
“It’s funny because when she’s up there they’re still up there,” Camarena said. “The pigeons.”
When other family members couldn’t provide the backyard Nala needed, Camarena and his mom offered their home two years ago.
He said she’s liberally taken to that freedom.
“Now she’s very happy and outgoing,” Camarena said. “We try to give her a limit, like, maybe like 20 minutes, half hour, but during the winter she could stay out there as long as she wants. we don’t mind. At the end of the day, you know, she’s just enjoying the view up there.”
Her owners said Nala also has a pool in her backyard where she loves to take breaks to cool off.

Coach Herm Edwards on hot seat at Arizona State
Arizona State coach Herm Edwards is on the hot seat after the Sun Devils' 30-21 home loss to Eastern Michigan on Saturday night.
The Sun Devils are 1-2, and university president Michael Crow clearly isn't happy with the direction of the program.
"They showed up to play, and we didn't," Crow told The Arizona Republic after the game. "That's basically the outcome."
Edwards has had Crow's endorsement in the past, but apparently not this time. In his fifth season at Arizona State, Edwards has a 26-20 record with two bowl losses and one win.
"Like anything, when you're in combat, you support your officers," Crow said. "And we're in combat. But we'll have to decide where we're going from here and decide what the issues are and see where we're headed."
Things won't get any easier for Arizona State, which begins Pac-12 play on Saturday against Utah, followed by Southern California -- both ranked teams -- the next week.
Before landing at Arizona State, Edwards coached the New York Jets (2001-05) and Kansas City Chiefs (2006-08) to a combined 54-74 record.

We tend to think of romantic relationships as the ones that break hearts, but when a friendship suddenly ends, it can hurt just as badly. It is important to recognize that although it was not a romantic involvement, this doesn’t mean that when a friendship ends that it doesn’t hurt.
Gone are the late-night exchanges, the person to walk into a party with, and the one who understands your family dynamics. This friend may even have felt like family, hanging around your house for years. In fact, you may miss this friend too!
Your teen may have had this friend for many years, or maybe this friend is fairly new on the scene but has become a BFF — regardless, sometimes even the closest friendships can come to an end (especially if they are toxic.)
RELATED: 13 Things The Most Popular People Do When They Want To Make New Friends
Twelve ways to help your teen recover from a friendship breakup
1. Be there.
Your teen will open up more if he feels understood. By holding back judgment, you become your child or teenager’s partner and create a safe harbor and judge-free zone. You are your kid’s original teacher. Work towards having fun and reducing strain so your connection becomes more important than anything else.

2. Help your teen realize these things happen.
Your teen may feel like they are the only one this happens to, but almost everyone on the planet has had a friendship suddenly end. People change and need change too, and sometimes a relationship ending can be a good thing.
3. Provide time to grieve.
Just as with any loss, help your teen to move through the stages of grief. Being cut off from someone who played an important role in their life can be crushing. If their former friend leaves without answers, help your teen consider that it might be because of their inability to discuss uncomfortable issues.
Even if they don’t know the reason for the breakup, they still need to grieve in order to move on.
RELATED: 4 Signs You're Stuck In A Toxic Friendship (& How To Deal With It)
4. Help them get clarity.
For their own benefit, your teen may want to learn the reason(s) for what went wrong. This is fine, however, help them understand that the other party may not cooperate.
For shorter-term friendships, the other person may just want to end it without dialog. For longer-term relationships, explain that they can apologize for a misunderstanding once, but they shouldn’t keep chasing the other party.
Over-texting and writing long emails in order to understand every nuance may cause more harm to your teen than good. If the other party doesn’t cooperate, guide your teen into shifting into the grieving process.
5. Don’t let them automatically accept the full brunt of the demise.
In a world of social media and “ghosting,” it’s often hard to know why someone is no longer engaging. This is particularly true in the teen world. Help your teen check the story they are telling themselves. If they don’t know the specific reason(s) for why the friendship suddenly ended, they may be creating painful, shameful stories about how it was all their fault. Without information, no one can honestly know the reason.
Sometimes, people’s issues have nothing to do with us, so it is not our fault, or at least we’re not 100% at fault. Instead of shame, help them work towards understanding societal norms and expectations and always treat others with kindness.
RELATED: 4 Hidden Benefits Of Toxic Friendships
6. Try to pull them out of the rumination cycle.
Ruminating is natural, but rarely helpful. Work with them on the importance of compartmentalizing; allowing 15 minutes a day to ruminate, then trying to empty their mind of this problem and return to doing productive work. Remind them that they have other friends who they can share their hurt with, as long as both of them don’t fall into the rumination cycle together or spread gossip.
7. Help them learn from their mistakes.
Who hasn’t said something hurtful at least once? In order for them to move forward, do your best to help them look deep inside for the reason(s) they may have contributed to a friendship suddenly ending. Ask open-ended questions. Ask, “Do you think this is a misunderstanding, or was it something you needed to express?”
Life’s lessons rarely come easily, so help them use this experience as part of their tapestry of mental and emotional growth.

8. Help them connect with others.
Although they may be saddened and grieving over the friendship ending, encourage your teen to nurture and reconnect with old friends and to meet new folks.
Help them join groups with like-minded people in order to meet potential new friends. As research demonstrates, the connection is good for our physical and mental well-being, while isolation is not.
9. Help identify strengths, character, and that “special something” that makes your teen shine.
Each of us excels in environments that allow us to feel good about ourselves. This is usually where our interests are high and where we can pursue our passion and develop a stronger sense of self. Imagine how fortunate your teen will feel when she uses those strengths to understand others based on their patterns and what they say and do.
For instance, help her think, “I am good at data and I can use data to find creative approaches to problem-solving."
Confidence comes from knowing you have past experiences of when things have worked out. All of us have felt the urge to throw in the towel or to allow people to treat us poorly because we did not know where else to turn.
It may take time and lots of little conversations and patience, but helping your teen locate a place where she uses her strengths can help her build confidence. Having a place where strengths are encouraged can also help your child find her kindred spirits — people with similar interests — and give her the social support necessary to break away from toxic friends. Without these social supports, it’s hard for some children to separate from people who treat them badly.

10. Help them look at what they offer in relationships.
This is a great time to help them make a list of their positive attributes and strengths. They may not want you to see this list, and that is just fine. Guide them in identifying how they contribute — positively and negatively — to their current relationships. Which traits should they work more at, and which should they try to temper?
11. Help evaluate how they want to be treated.
Talk openly and often. Keep the lines of communication open. Help them develop lifelong positive beliefs about how they should be treated. For example, ask, “What do you enjoy doing with your friend?” “What do you like about him or her?” “What does he do to show you that he cares about you as a friend?”
Related Stories From YourTango:
Helping teenagers examine who is treating them well is often about helping them consider how enjoyable the friendship is. Talk about relationships through general, short conversations. Ask, “What does it mean to be a good friend?” “Who do you feel is a good friend?” “Are they trustworthy?” “Is it enjoyable to be with him?” “How are they treating you?” “Do you know of other friendships that seem enjoyable?” “If you could change one thing about this friendship, what would you change?”
Help them look not at where they are but where they want to be. It is said that we show people how we want to be treated. Are they willing to accept insults and rudeness? Then it will continue. Demonstrate how to hold your head up high and recognize that some relationships should be ended.
RELATED: 5 Warning Signs You're In A Seriously Toxic Friendship
12. Help them take care of themselves afterward.
After the breakup, encourage them to spend time with the people who are good for their health and happiness and who reinforce all the great things about them. It’s also important to make sure they continue to take care of their body and mind.
Help them feel valuable; wash their hair, eat well, exercise and journal.
Work with, not against, your teen
Every child — regardless of their age — needs at least one caring adult in their life. When a child believes that someone has their back, that they have someone to lean on, and that this person will help them figure out whatever may surface, it builds lifelong resilience.
The ultimate goal should be forgiveness. All of this work is intended to help your teen work toward letting go of the negativity to make room for better experiences.

For Russia's Putin, military and diplomatic pressures mount
- Country:
- Ukraine
Pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin mounted on the battlefield and in the halls of global power as Ukrainian troops pushed their counteroffensive Saturday to advance farther into Ukraine's partly recaptured northeast.
Western officials and analysts said Russian forces were apparently setting up a new defensive line in Ukraine's northeast after the counteroffensive punched through the previous one, allowing Kyiv's soldiers to recapture large swaths of land in the northeastern Kharkiv region that borders Russia.
Putin, at a high-level summit in Uzbekistan this week, vowed to press his attack on Ukraine despite the recent military setbacks but also faced concerns by India and China over the drawn-out conflict. "I know that today's era is not of war,'' Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the Russian leader in televised comments as they met Friday in Uzbekistan. "We discussed this with you on the phone several times, that democracy and dialogue touch the entire world." At the same summit a day earlier, Putin acknowledged China's unspecified "questions and concerns" about the war in Ukraine while thanking President Xi Jinping for Beijing's "balanced position" on the conflict.
The hurried retreat of Russian troops this month from parts of a northeast region they occupied early in the war, together with the rare public reservations expressed by key allies, underscored the challenges that Putin faces on all fronts. Both China and India have maintained strong ties with Russia and had sought to remain neutral on Ukraine. Xi, in a statement, expressed support for Russia's "core interests" but also wanted to work together to "inject stability" into world affairs. Modi said he wanted to discuss "how we can move forward on the path of peace,'' adding that the biggest concerns facing the world are the problems of food security, fuel security and fertilizers.
''We must find some way out and you too must contribute to that," Modi stressed in a rare public rebuke. The comments cast a shadow over a summit that Putin had hoped would burnish his diplomatic status and show he was not so internationally isolated.
On the battlefield, Britain's Defense Ministry said the new front line likely was between the Oskil River and Svatove, 150 kilometers (90 miles) southeast of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city. After Russian troops retreated from the city of Izium, Ukrainian authorities discovered a mass grave site, one of the largest found so far. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there were more than 440 graves at the location containing the bodies of hundreds of civilian adults and children, as well as soldiers, and that some had been tortured, shot or killed by artillery shelling. He cited evidence of atrocities, such as a body with a rope around its neck and broken arms. "Torture was a widespread practice in the occupied territory. That's what the Nazis did. That's what (the Russians) do," Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly video address. "We will establish the identity of all those who tortured, who mocked, who brought this atrocity from Russia here to Ukrainian soil." Ukrainian forces, in the meantime, were crossing the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region and have placed artillery there, the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said Saturday. The river, which flows south from Russia into Ukraine, had been a natural break in the newly emerged front lines since Ukraine launched its counteroffensive about a week ago.
"Russian forces are likely too weak to prevent further Ukrainian advances along the entire Oskil River," the institute said.
Videos circulating online indicated that Ukrainian forces were continuing to retake land in the country's embattled east, although their veracity could not be independently verified. One showed a Ukrainian soldier walking past a damaged building and then pointing at a colleague hanging the blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag over a mobile phone tower. The soldier identified the seized village as Dibrova, just northeast of the city of Sloviansk in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Another video showed two Ukrainian soldiers in what appeared to be a bell tower, with one saying they had retaken the village of Shchurove, also northeast of Sloviansk. The Ukrainian military and Russia did not comment on the two villages.
Elsewhere, Russian forces continued pounding cities and villages with missile strikes and shelling. A Russian missile attack early Saturday started a fire in Kharkiv's industrial area, regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said. Firefighters extinguished the blaze. Syniehubov said remnants suggested the Russians fired S-300 surface-to-air missiles at the city. The S-300 is designed for striking missiles or aircraft in the sky, not targets on the ground. Analysts say Russia's use of the missiles suggest they may be running out of some precision munitions. Shelling of the nearby city of Chuhuiv later in the day killed an 11-year-old girl, Syniehubov reported.
In the southern Zaporizhzhia region, a large part of which is occupied by Russian forces, one person was wounded in shelling of the city of Orikhiv, the region's Ukrainian governor, Oleksandr Starukh, reported on Telegram. He said Russian troops also shelled two villages in the region, destroying several civilian facilities. Explosions were also reported in Russian-occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia. Russian-installed official Vladimir Rogov said on Telegram that at least five blasts were heard in the city of Melitopol. The city's Ukrainian mayor, Ivan Fedorov, said they were in a village south of the city, where the Russian troops had relocated some military equipment. Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region also came under Russian fire overnight, according to its governor, Valentyn Reznichenko. "The enemy attacked six times and launched more than 90 deadly projectiles on peaceful cities and villages," he said. Meanwhile, Ukraine's atomic energy operator, Energoatom, said a convoy of 25 trucks had brought diesel and other critical supplies to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant — Europe's largest — which was shut down a week ago amid fears that nearby fighting could result in a radiation disaster.
The trucks were allowed through Russian checkpoints Friday to deliver spare parts for repairs of damaged power lines, chemicals for the operation of the plant and additional fuel for backup diesel generators, Energoatom said.
The six-reactor plant was captured by Russian forces in March but is operated by Ukrainian engineers. Its last reactor was switched off Sunday after repeated power failures due to shelling put crucial safety systems at risk.
The International Atomic Energy Agency reported Saturday that one of the nuclear plant's four main external power lines had been repaired. The Russian military accused Ukraine of renewed artillery shelling of the power plant. Ukrainian authorities did not immediately address the claim. In Russia, one person was killed and two others wounded Saturday by shelling, according to Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of the Russian border region of Belgorod. Gladkov blamed Ukraine. The claim could not be verified.(AP) RUP RUP

Stagflation-Free Asian Markets Are Leaving Taper Tantrums Behind
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- It’s time for emerging Asian markets to reap the rewards after years of building up foreign-exchange reserves, as they become the latest destination for risk investors.
While no market has come through 2022 unscathed, countries from Indonesia to South Korea and the Philippines are reaping the rewards of a quarter-century preparing for a repeat of the turmoil that set off the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s. Even as the dollar rallied, emerging Asia’s currencies are mostly faring better than traditional havens like the yen and the euro. The region’s bonds are standing out as a rare bright spot in a year that sent global debt into its first bear market for a generation.
Asia is benefiting from both good management and good luck. Inflation is weaker than for much of the globe, and local policy makers not only built up record foreign-exchange reserves but also have been moderate in their deployment. Fiscal prudence and calm crisis management have been the norm, and while those reserves have shrunk at the fastest pace on record, they are still higher than they were at the end of the last decade.
“Emerging Asia leads in the race to keep inflation low,” said Swiss Re Chief Economist Jerome Haegeli. “Countries that can avoid stagflation-like conditions -- and we currently think most of Asia will -- could gain competitiveness.”
Year-to-date performance may have given some vindication to bullish emerging Asia investors. A Bloomberg index of emerging Asia bonds registered total losses of around 9% this year, comparatively better than a gauge of US Treasuries which saw losses of 11%, or a global emerging-markets barometer which dropped over 16%.
That’s led global investors in a pivot back into Asia. India and Indonesia recorded net foreign bond inflows in August, their first addition in at least six months, while global funds poured into Thai debt for the first time since May. Foreign bond positioning has still yet to recover to pre-Covid levels in most Asian economies, suggesting lower odds of capital outflow even if macro conditions tighten again, says Galvin Chia, a strategist at Natwest Markets in Singapore.
Swiss Re’s Haegeli points to relatively lower factory gate prices in Asia as a key indicator of a better outlook for the region. That’s partly driven by the region’s good fortune in avoiding the worst of the commodity price shocks, because East Asia is less dependent on energy from Russia or wheat from Ukraine.
The foreign-exchange stockpiles Asian economies built up have helped cushion the impact of this year’s market turmoil, which has spurred the largest equity outflows for at least a decade. There has been some alarm as the reserves were drawn down, but they are still above where they stood at the end of 2019. Emerging Asia’s combined holdings are at $2.6 trillion, after peaking above $2.8 trillion in October.
“Over the last year external buffers that were built up have been heavily depleted –- public and private debt has increased substantially, fiscal spending has increased, higher commodity imports are eating into current account surpluses, and real interest rates are negative, implying less of a buffer against capital outflows,” said Alexander Wolf, head of Asia investment strategy at JPMorgan Private Bank in Singapore.
Southeast Asia in particular is showing some macroeconomic resilience, with manufacturing PMIs signaling expansion across those nations, a contrast to the contractions for South Korea and Taiwan. The troubles afflicting north Asia -- especially the behemoths of China and Japan -- could be the region’s Achilles’ heel. JPMorgan’s metrics for judging countries’ vulnerabilities, based on current account levels, foreign-exchange reserves and yield buffers, show Thailand and Japan are among the weakest, with China, South Korea and India in the next-weakest tier.
Seven out of 30 major economies were found to be less vulnerable to hard landings, and those in Asia include Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, the Philippines and India, write Nomura analysts including Rob Subbaraman in a Sept. 13 note.
To be sure, China’s pursuance of a Covid-Zero strategy has weighed on the domestic outlook, as well as on demand for exports from the region. And part of this weakness has been seen in the depreciating yuan, which crossed the key psychological level of 7 against the dollar last week. But China has pursued fiscal and monetary easing to soften any potential hard landing in the economy, with recent August industrial production, retail sales and fixed-asset investment data showing nascent signs of a recovery.
“Asia still has the buffers to weather the storm.” said Jin Yang Lee, an investment manager for sovereign debt at abrdn Plc in Singapore. He sees opportunities in Malaysian, Indian and Chinese debt, along with pockets of the South Korean market. “In general Asia has been much more prudent in their policy settings vis-a-vis structural changes in their economies.”
What to watch this week:
- The Philippines’ central bank is likely to raise its benchmark rate back above the pre-pandemic level as it tries to tamp down inflation, while Bank Indonesia and Taiwan’s central bank are both set to continue with their tightening stance.
- South Africa’s central bank is set to hike policy rates again, which would be the sixth straight benchmark rate increase.
- The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey is expected to hold rates at 13% in its September meeting, as it prioritizes growth over price stability.
- In Brazil, the central bank board gathers for a monetary policy meeting, at which we expect it will announce the end of its tightening cycle.
- In Chile, the minutes from the Sept. 6 monetary policy meeting may show the central bank has little room to accommodate any inflation surprises.

Steven Spielberg's autobiographical coming-of-age drama “The Fabelmans" won the Toronto International Film Festival's top prize, the People's Choice Award, solidifying its early status as Academy Awards frontrunner.
Toronto's audience award was announced Sunday as the largest North American film festival wrapped up its 47th edition and first full-scale gathering in three years. The return of crowds at TIFF brought the world premieres of a number of anticipated crowd pleasers, including the Viola Davis-led “The Woman King,” Rian Johnson's “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and Billy Eichner's “Bros.”
Toronto's audience award, voted on by festival moviegoers, is a much-watched harbinger of the coming awards season. Each of the last ten years, the TIFF winner has gone on to be nominated for best picture at the Oscars — and often won it. Last year, Kenneth Branagh's “Belfast” triumphed at a much-diminished hybrid Toronto International Film Festival. The year before that, Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland" took TIFF's award before winning at the Academy Awards. Other past winners include “12 Years a Slave,” “La La Land” and “Green Book.”
This year, no film came into the festival more anticipated than “The Fabelmans," Spielberg's memory-infused film about his childhood. In the movie, which Universal Pictures will release Nov. 11, Michelle Williams and Paul Dano play the parents, with newcomer Gabriel LaBelle as teenage Spielberg, Sammy Fabelman. The film scored rave reviews after its premiere.
“This is the most personal film I've made and the warm reception from everyone in Toronto made my first visit to TIFF so intimate and personal for me and my entire ‘Fabelman' family,'" Spielberg said in a statement read by Cameron Bailey, festival director.
The first runner-up to the prize was Sarah Polley's “Woman Talking,” about the female members of a Mennonite colony gathered to discuss years of sexual abuse. The second runner-up went to Johnson's “Glass Onion," the director's whodunit sequel for Netflix.
Audience in other sections of the festival also vote for People's Choice awards. The festival's audience prize for documentary went to “Black Ice,” Hubert Davis' film about the history of Black hockey players executive produced by LeBron James. The midnight section winner was “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” Eric Appel's music biopic parody co-written with Yankovic and starring Daniel Radcliffe.
“Wow," said Appel in a statement. "I never in a million years thought that our satire of traditional awards films would actually win an award, itself.”
