TORONTO - Thousands of migrants and their supporters held rallies across Canadian cities on Sunday to call on Ottawa to extend permanent status to undocumented people.
There were also calls to swiftly implement an inclusive regularization program for undocumented migrants - a longstanding demand that advocates say appears closer than ever to becoming a reality based on recent moves by the federal Liberal government.
Syed Hussan, executive director of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, said it's an opportune moment for Ottawa to listen to his group's calls for more access to basic rights for undocumented people in Canada.
“We have a historic opportunity right now to fix a wrong that has been going on for many, many years,” he said by phone before heading to a planned afternoon rally in Toronto.
“We want to make sure that parliament does not in any way delay.”
Ottawa launched a regularization program during the COVID-19 pandemic for asylum seekers who worked in the health sector. Since then, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has indicated interest in expanding the initiative.
A mandate letter from December 2021 asked Trudeau's immigration and citizenship minister to “build on existing pilot programs to further explore ways of regularizing status for undocumented workers who are contributing to Canadian communities.”
Hussan said the program should include all undocumented people and argued it should be a focus for the government as parliament prepares to return next week.
“Prime Minister Trudeau has already indicated that he wants to do the right thing. The question now is, only, will everyone be included,” Hussan said.
“We believe that equality is equality, any exclusion is discrimination, so each and every migrant worker or refugee, student and undocumented person should be included.”
A spokeswoman for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Sean Fraser said work to deliver on the mandate commitment on regularizing status for undocumented workers is ongoing as the ministry engages with experts and stakeholders.
Aidan Strickland said future policy decisions will be based on lessons learned from recent programs like the one for asylum seekers working in health-care during the pandemic.
“As we emerge from the pandemic, IRCC will continue to explore new avenues to help more foreign nationals already living in Canada to make this their permanent home,” Strickland said in an email.
“While we cannot speculate on future policy decisions, this is an opportunity for us to look at best practices and lessons learned from our previous experiences to ensure the most inclusive and effective public policy.”
Hussan said he expected thousands of people in total attend the rallies and marches planned in 13 cities including Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Vancouver, Fredericton and St. John's, N.L.
Heavy rain did not deter hundreds of people from gathering in a Toronto park with umbrellas and signs calling on the government to extend “status for all” - a mantra repeated in chants and speeches throughout the afternoon event.
Labour groups and unions were also in attendance waving signs.
Several migrants, including farm and health-care workers, shared their stories before the group marched to rally outside Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland's downtown constituency office.
Nineteen-year-old Merari Borgez, who moved to Toronto from Mexico City as a child, told the crowd about how her family struggled to access health-care and education and were unable to travel and say goodbye to relatives due to their lack of status in Canada.
“Living without status is dehumanizing,” she said, calling on politicians to work quickly on extending status to families like hers. “We don't want pity. We want action.”
Similar days of national protest have been held on the issue of migrant status, but Hussan said Sunday's events were expected to be larger as momentum for the cause has grown in recent years.
That's partly due to a growing number of undocumented people who are organizing for more rights, he said, as well as a renewed spotlight placed on inequalities they faced in essential jobs during the pandemic.
He said calls for status and regularization would give undocumented working people in Canada rights to advocate for better work, study and living conditions, as well as to access universal health-care.
The measures would also give people more labour mobility and improve work conditions, he said.
Caroline Michael, an undocumented health-care worker in Toronto, also joined the calls for permanent status.
At Sunday's event, she shared challenges she's faced as a refugee looking to remain in Canada. After being denied various applications for status, Michael said regularization is her last option.
She said she has been asked to pay for health-care services and her situation has deeply affected her mental health, but she is not able to take time off from the hospital where she works due to her status.
“This is like (you are) in prison. You're being held captive,” she said. She called on parliament to extend permanent status to all migrants, including herself and others who have been working on the frontlines during COVID-19.
“Why should we be treated this way,” she told the crowd. “All human beings deserve to be treated rightly. We have the right to live happily in Canada.”
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 18, 2022.

Four retiring staff of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) have received encomiums from the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (EVC/CEO) of the Commission, Prof. Umar Danbatta, for their dedication to duties and rising to be counted as committed members of the team that is making the nation proud with their individual contributions to the development of telecommunications in Nigeria.
The four staff, Mallam Aliyu Ibrahim, Deputy Director/Head, Administration Department; Okechukwu Christian Aninweke, an Assistant Director/Head, Risk Management; Patience Ante, Principal Manager, Lagos Zonal Office (LZO); and Daniel Agbi, Deputy Manager, also of the LZO, reached their mandatory retirement ages of 60 years and have embarked on their pre-retirement leaves, after their respective valedictory sessions that took place at the Commission.
Mr. Ibrahim, who spent 26 years of active service in the Commission, had at various times served in several departments, before being appointed Lagos Zonal Controller; Kano Zonal Controller; and Head, Consumer Protection and Advocacy before retiring as Head of Administration of the Commission, a position he held for more than four years.
The NCC boss said Aliyu’s various postings across departments, and his outline of contributions at his various posts were testaments to his hard work and dedication to duty. He specifically commended Aliyu’s administrative competence that enabled the Commission to start off NCC Digital Innovation Park project being constructed in Kano.
Aninweke, joined the Commission in 2001, and is retiring as an Assistant Director and Head, Risk Management in the Corporate Planning Strategy and Risk Management Department, after 21 years of dedicated active service. He was also President of NCC Staff Cooperative and Multipurpose Society for two tenures.
Mrs. Patience Ante, on her part, served the Commission for 18 years, having been enlisted in 2002 as Confidential Secretary at the Commission’s erstwhile Human Resources Department where she worked for seven years before her redeployment to Lagos Zonal Office. In Lagos, she first worked in the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Unit where she served different sections of the Zonal Office operations. Before her retirement, Ante, rose to the position of a Principal Manager and served as Head, Licensing and Authorization Unit at the Lagos Zonal Office.
Agbi, popularly called ‘Apollo’ by the staff of the Commission, joined the Commission in 2005 as a protocol officer. His duties included working closely with high profile personalities in the Commission, including Board members, Ministers, and the Executive Management. His core responsibilities included liaising with the Nigerian Immigration Service. Agbi, also fondly called ‘Papa’ worked with uncommon zeal, passion and honourably. He is retiring from the Commission at the rank of Deputy Manager.
During their different valedictory sessions, the retirees appreciated the opportunity given to them to serve Nigeria officially in various capacities through the NCC. They also profoundly commended the EVC, Prof. Danbatta, for his remarkable leadership qualities and finesse which have repositioned the Commission as a flagship Nigerian public sector institution.

SANTA CLARA — Trey Lance faked the first-quarter handoff and carried the ball up the middle of the field.
It was his third up-the-middle run of the game. It was his final run of the game. It will probably be his final run of the season.
Lance injured his right ankle on the zone-read run. When he tried to get up, the ankle was pointing 90 degrees to the right — a byproduct of a late slide attempt and a collision with Seattle linebacker Cody Barton.
Quarterbacks are destiny in the NFL, so when a team’s starter goes down with a terrible, likely season-ending injury like the one Lance suffered Sunday, the natural reaction is to find someone or something to blame.
The first person who will be blamed is Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers’ head coach and play caller.
Shanahan had called for 29 designed runs for Lance — more than half of his overall rushing attempts — in the second-year quarterback’s first four NFL starts. The vast majority of those designed runs had come up the middle.
It’s easy to say that Lance was bound to be injured when he was used like a fullback.
The issue, as Lance explained earlier this week, is that if he was going to run the ball, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound quarterback had to go up the middle.
“I’m not bigger, faster, and stronger than pretty much everyone else,” Lance said. “Guys catch up a lot quicker, space is filled, guys close a lot faster.
“I have to learn to protect myself, just being in a different situation knowing how important it is for me to stay healthy … For the most part, when I’m running between the tackles or running on third down, I’m not ever going to slide and go fourth-and-two and just give up on the play.”
The comments turned out to be prescient.
We had seen on Lance’s 53 proceeding runs before his fateful one Sunday that he was not kidding about defenders closing much faster. Lamar Jackson, he is not.
Last season, in Lance’s first career start against the Arizona Cardinals, the rookie quarterback was chased down by opposing defensive ends with stunning ease. It was a harsh welcome-to-the-NFL moment.
“Guys coming downhill, guys don’t hesitate,” Lance said Wednesday.
Lance has a lot of talent, but in three-plus games as a starter, he had not shown the ability to effectively move the ball down the field with just his arm. His challenge completing short and medium passes could be countered by his ability to run the ball up the middle. It was an effective part of moving the chains, and necessary at this early stage of Lance’s career.
The Niners coaches hoped that the more snaps Lance took and the more practices he had, the more effective he would become as a thrower, diminishing the need to run the ball.
Shanahan was doing the most he could with the quarterback he drafted for the sake of the team that surrounded him.
Was there risk in that plan? Of course. But every play in football is a risk — it’s impossible to try to avoid that risk and still win games. Especially when you have a quarterback who needs reps on the field.
You can’t protect a quarterback — and limit your offense — when the passer has not yet proven he can win games by himself.
You can’t blame Lance for a freak injury, and you can’t blame Shanahan for calling plays that he believed would keep Niners’ offense on the field.
The only knock on Shanahan that would be fair is that he had played a quarterback who was not ready.
But Lance was never going to become ready sitting on the sideline. When he returns — most likely next season — the same truth will apply.

Nepali Constitution Day
On behalf of the people and the Government of the United States of America, I warmly congratulate the people of Nepal as you celebrate your Constitution Day on September 19.
Our strong people-to-people ties bind us, with Nepalis contributing to many parts of the social and economic fabric of the United States. This year we celebrate 75 years of diplomatic ties and a strong relationship. It is a friendship that I believe will continue to strengthen during the next 75 years and beyond.
On behalf of the American people, I extend my best wishes to all Nepalis on this special occasion.

The Queen’s committal service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle will feature traditions symbolising the end of Elizabeth II’s reign.
A congregation of 800 people including the King, the royal family, realm prime ministers, governors-general and mourners from the Queen’s household past and present, including personal staff from across her private estates, will gather in the Gothic church on Monday.
The service will take place at 4pm, hours after the state funeral at Westminster Abbey.
The Queen’s coffin will be driven from London to Windsor in the state hearse and make its way up the Long Walk, which will be lined with members of the armed forces.
The King and other royals will join the procession on foot behind the hearse in the castle’s quadrangle, with the Queen Consort, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Sussex and the Countess of Wessex following by car.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be at the service after attending the state funeral at Westminster Abbey.
During the service, which will be conducted by Dean of Windsor David Conner, the Imperial State Crown, the orb and the sceptre will be lifted from the Queen’s coffin by the Crown Jeweller, separating the Queen from her crown for the final time.
With the help of the Bargemaster and a Serjeant of Arms, the Crown Jewels will be passed to the dean who will place them on the High Altar.
At the end of the last hymn, the King will step forward and place the Grenadier Guards’ Queen’s Company Camp Colour – a smaller version of the Royal Standard of the Regiment – on the coffin.
The Grenadier Guards are the most senior of the Foot Guards regiments and the Queen was their Colonel in Chief.
Only one Royal Standard of the Regiment is presented during a monarch’s reign, and it served as the Queen’s Company Colour throughout her lifetime.
At the same time, former MI5 spy chief Baron Parker – the Lord Chamberlain and the most senior official in the late Queen’s royal household – will “break” his Wand of Office and place it on the coffin.
The ceremonial breaking of the white staff signifies the end of his service to the Queen as sovereign.
As the coffin is lowered into the royal vault, the dean will say a psalm and the commendation before the Garter King of Arms pronounces the many styles and titles of the Queen.
The Sovereign’s Piper will play a lament from the doorway between the chapel and the Dean’s Cloister and walk slowly away so the music gradually fades.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will pronounce the blessing, and God Save The King will be sung.
The King and members of the royal family will leave through the Galilee Porch, but will return for a private burial service in the evening, when the Queen will be interred alongside her late husband the Duke of Edinburgh in the King George VI Memorial Chapel in St George’s.
A committal service is perhaps the most solemn moment of a Church of England funeral service, and it usually takes place at the graveside, in a crematorium chapel or in the church before a burial or cremation.
The majority of those attending St George’s Chapel will not have been at the funeral service in Westminster Abbey.
Many of the household and private estate staff spent years working for and supporting the late monarch, with the committal service a chance to pay their last respects.
Prayers will be said by the Rector of Sandringham, the Minister of Crathie Kirk, the Chaplain of Windsor Great Park, and the Dean of Windsor.
The state hearse will approach the castle through Shaw Farm Gate on Windsor’s Albert Road, moving via the Long Walk, Cambridge Gate, Cambridge Drive, George IV Gate, Quadrangle (south and west sides), Engine Court, Norman Arch, Chapel Hill, Parade Ground and Horseshoe Cloister Arch.
Leading the procession and walking ahead of the coffin will be a dismounted detachment of the Household Cavalry Regiment, followed by a mounted division of the Sovereign’s Escort, a Massed Pipes and Drums of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Bands of the Coldstream Guards and the Household Cavalry, officers of the Household Division, the Kings, Heralds and Pursuivants of Arms and members of the Queen’s personal staff.
In the centre of the procession, the hearse will be flanked by the pall bearers and an escort party consisting of two officers and 24 rank-and-file of the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
The Queen’s Company Colour, the Royal Standard of the Regiment of Grenadier Guards, and a Sovereign’s Standard of the Household Cavalry will be positioned in the front and rear of the hearse.
To the rear of the coffin will be members of the Queen’s, the King’s and the Prince of Wales’s households, followed by further mounted and dismounted detachments of the Household Cavalry.
Minute Guns will be fired by The King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery from a position on the East Lawn as the coffin moves in procession from Shaw Farm Gate to the West Steps of St George’s.
The Sebastopol Bell – captured in Crimea in 1856 – and the Curfew Tower Bell will be tolled concurrently at the castle.

With a chic white marble top and a sleek black pedestal base, this round dining table from Wayfair is glam and gorgeous. Pair it with black dining chairs for an industrial look, or pair it with white for a modern flair.
With a unique crossed-leg design, this sculptural dining room table has a modern flair, but it's certainly chic enough to sit comfortably in any dining room, no matter what your home decor style is.
Whether you're going for a rustic dining area or a French country vibe, the antique white finish and oak tabletop of this dining table is an elegant addition to any space. And that dramatic pedestal base is hard not to love.
If your interior design screams midcentury modern, this round dining table from West Elm is a must-have. Designed with small spaces in mind, this table accommodates daily meals, and two side leaves easily make an appearance for dinner parties and special occasions.
With a natural wood finish and a fire hydrant-inspired base, this trendy industrial-style dining table is anything but boring. And no one says this table with pipe-style legs and a built-in ring footrest won't look equally fab in a farmhouse-style kitchen.
Crafted from plywood and acacia veneers and rubberwood legs, this round dining table works for a range of interior design styles. Is it a little boho or a little Scandanavian? — it's your call.
If you're really looking for something extraordinary, consider this round dining table from CB2. Reminiscent of Brazilian midcentury design, this robust piece by Brett Beldock features rattan wraps around a flared base with a Mindi wood tabletop — this isn't your mom's round dining table.
Hand-finished with rustic brown or grey stain, this stately dining table is sealed with a matte lacquer finish that brings out the gorgeous wood grain. The architectural pedestal base is made from solid oak and finished with bold Corinthian details. This table is 60" and seats up to six, which is probably a good thing because you're gonna want to show this one off.

Post Malone apologizes for on-stage accident in St. Louis
(AP) – Post Malone apologized to his St. Louis fans Sunday for an on-stage accident that sent him to the hospital and shortened his set the night before at the Enterprise Center.
In the middle of a song Saturday, Malone fell into a hole on stage that moments before was opened to lower an instrument into.
In a video message posted on Twitter on Sunday, he said the fall, “Got me pretty good.” He said he’d just gotten back from the hospital, where he was prescribed pain medication.
“I just want to apologize to everyone in St. Louis,” Malone said. “Next time I’m around this way we’re going to do a two-hour show for you, so we can make up for the couple missed songs.”
There should be no implications for the rest of the tour, which continues Sunday night in Columbus, Ohio.

After an epic rally from 2019 to 2021, shares of mobility chip giant Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) haven't done so well lately. Following yet another sell-off in the market (thanks, inflation), Qualcomm stock is again near its 52-week lows and off over 30% from its all-time high last year.
This is now the third time in a year Qualcomm has fallen to this level -- and this time, it's trading for a meager 11 times trailing-12-month earnings per share. With the company gearing up for a push into new markets, this is another chance to load up on this top chip stock on the cheap.
All eyes are on the smartphone market, but should they be?
The reason Qualcomm is getting punished again has to do with the smartphone industry. After a good two-year run fueled by consumer spending early in the pandemic and an initial wave of 5G-enabled phones, global smartphone sales are hitting a snag. Qualcomm still expects its revenue to rise anyway, by virtue of the fact its content per phone is still increasing thanks to 5G. Plus, its Internet of Things (IoT) and automotive segments are in growth mode right now, too.
Qualcomm has a lot of new developments in the works, though, like personal computing chips, virtual reality processors, and even data center and server hardware. As for this latter end market, rumors in recent weeks suggest that Qualcomm could be plotting a return to the cloud (it exited the data center market about four years ago), utilizing designs from ARM by way of its acquisition of start-up Nuvia last year. In fact, Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) cloud computing segment, AWS, has expressed interest in testing Qualcomm's new offerings.
The data center and server market is huge, and it could be an ideal time to take a swing at it. Long-standing leader in this space Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has been ceding market share to AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) for years, and even Intel's CEO has admitted it will likely continue to lose market share for the next couple of years. So, why not Qualcomm, too, if there's low-hanging fruit to be had in cloud infrastructure and compute chips?
But the question is: Will it work? There's a chance it could. Qualcomm's bread-and-butter chips for smartphones are a fantastic marvel of engineering. They're powerful, but also ultracompact, energy efficient, and purpose designed for a mobile-connected world. If this same technology could be expanded to also encompass data centers, personal computers, and the like, Qualcomm could go from smartphone specialist to everything-computing generalist.
All of this is to say the market overall is hyperfocused on the immediate-term outlook for Qualcomm's smartphone sales, but it's missing the forest for the trees. There's a lot more to the company than in the past, and it's laying the groundwork for many more years of expansion. Thus, another chance to buy again near 52-week lows after the brutal selling in recent weeks could be a wonderful long-term gift to investors.
But what about the free cash flow?
Of course, using earnings per share, Qualcomm stock looks dirt cheap. However, on a free cash flow basis, shares trade for a far higher 23 times enterprise value to free cash flow. What gives?
Free cash flow can be lumpy, not just from quarter to quarter, but even year to year. Why? New chip development costs money, often requiring ample sums of up-front cash before sales start trickling in. And that's exactly what Qualcomm is up to these days. Its innovation engine has been revving up and could be about to pay off big time in the next year or two, as the spending weighing down free cash flow right now starts to yield results.
All of this hinges on whether Qualcomm's developments for laptops, VR, data centers, and autos do in fact win over customers. But with so many irons in the fire and a proven lineup of chip technology, I like the company's chances at expanding beyond smartphones in at least one -- if not multiple -- new directions. I believe the market keeps selling Qualcomm's long-term prospects short. If you haven't bought yet, this most recent sell-off looks like a fantastic buying opportunity.

When our award-winning analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.*
They just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now... and Qualcomm wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.

(NEXSTAR) — Does anybody like going to the airport? Whether you find it glamorous or treacherous, moving through an airport is a hard-to-avoid event if you want to see the world. But not all airports are created equal, apparently.
This year, travel news and resources company Frommer’s ranked the 10 “worst” airports in the U.S. based on “flight delays, security wait times, customer satisfaction surveys, and the reviews of experts.”
These are the 10 worst airports in the U.S., according to Frommer’s:
10. Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) — This Virginia airport’s layout and location were among the outlet’s main complaints, though it was noted for being attractively built. Airport manager Richard Golinowski recently told The Washington Post he’s aware some of the older buildings are “starting to see some problems,” but noted they’re working to address these issues, including adding a 14-gate concourse expected to be complete in 2026.
9. West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) — The location of this airport in Charleston, West Virginia, is labeled “scary” by Frommer’s — the site is surrounded on all sides by cliffs. The facility was previously known only as Yeager Airport, but was renamed in January in order to be classified as “international,” WOWK in Charleston reports. Its international U.S. Customs service won’t be ready until December, however.
8. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — Delays and cancellations landed this massive hub in north Central Texas at eighth on the list. But DFW recently became the U.S. airport with the most nonstop flights (a title it previously held) and is currently offering about 239 nonstop destinations, according to aviation news outlet Simple Flying.
7. Denver International Airport (DIA) — Turbulence. Denver is surrounded by mountainous, hilly areas, and this can result in bumpier flights than many may be used to. (Apparently, mountains + wind = air waves.) The Federal Aviation Administration has a Tips of Mountain Flying manual that Frommer’s notes could be useful here.
6. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) — This Ohio airport is dinged by Frommer’s for needed updates and lack of space. A 2019 J.D. Power customer satisfaction study placed CLE even worse, coming second-to-last.
5. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) — Some tough traffic and closed roads near the City of Brotherly Love’s main airport make for a rocky trip for passengers, both Frommer’s and J.D. Power say. The latter named PHL dead last on its 2021 airport customer satisfaction survey.
4. O’Hare International Airport (ORD) — Chicago’s massive airport is considered still too small by Frommer’s, and often-delayed flights didn’t help its ranking. Meanwhile, J.D. Power ranked it last on its 2021 customer satisfaction survey for “mega”-sized airports.
3. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — It may be the only airport with a two-part “LOST” episode named after it, but getting lost at it is also a complaint, based on ratings. The airport is noted to have a “confusing” layout and, like most of Los Angeles, traffic problems.
2. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) — One of New York City’s major airports is clocked for running late on the clock, as Frommer’s says delays and cancellations are common at LGA. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) shows 22.52% of flights were delayed or cancelled from July 2019 to July 2021. To remedy some of these problems, LGA has undergone a few alterations (see below).
1. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) — BTS data shows 24.29% of flights at this New Jersey airport were delayed or cancelled between July 2019 and July 2021. Recently, EWR was shifted from being part of the NYC code by the International Air Transport Association, reported Travel + Leisure. What will this mean for flyers? Perhaps less competition for flights and thus higher prices for travelers to New York, T+L says. Yahoo! Finance reports the change is set to go into effect Oct. 3.
LaGuardia, the second-worst on Frommer’s list, has since undergone billions of dollars worth of renovations, transforming from what Bloomberg called in June a “once-infamous” airport into one named the best in design and architecture by an international jury for the Prix Versailles Award.
Meanwhile, Fundera, a small business resources site run by NerdWallet, also ranked the five worst regional airports for business travelers based on convenience and flight performance/availability. Its “worst” airports were, in order from least-worst to worst: Palm Beach International Airport, Albuquerque International Sunport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport, and Memphis International Airport.
Fundera found Memphis airport’s single business lounge and lack of direct flights lacking, ultimately ranking it as the worst, Travel Channel reported. But proving that “best” and “worst” may be in the eye of the beholder, Fundera ranked LAX — Frommer’s third-worst — as its fifth best for business travelers, citing affordable parking fees and flight availability.
Safe travels wherever you fly from — and may your stresses stay low.

How Rich Are Britain’s Royals?
The House of Windsor owns huge tracks of land and all the swans in the country. What does that even mean?
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II has put a spotlight on the emotional impact that the British royal family has on the United Kingdom. The monarchy’s economic impact, however, is much harder to gauge—partly because it’s a vestige of an earlier understanding of economics.
Is the monarchy a net economic loss or a net gain for Britain? Do we have any sense of what the royals’ personal views on economic policy are? And what does it even mean to “own” all of the country’s swans?
Those are some of the questions that came up in my conversation this week with FP columnist Adam Tooze on the podcast we co-host, Ones and Tooze. What follows is a transcript of the interview, edited for clarity and length. For the entire conversation, subscribe to Ones and Tooze on your preferred podcast app.

Those are some of the questions that came up in my conversation this week with FP columnist Adam Tooze on the podcast we co-host, Ones and Tooze. What follows is a transcript of the interview, edited for clarity and length. For the entire conversation, subscribe to Ones and Tooze on your preferred podcast app.
Cameron Abadi: Just to start out, I’m curious whether the British royal family’s wealth is personal, or is it institutional? Are they wealthy by virtue of being monarchs and thus having control of state assets, or are they just an independently wealthy family that happens to be the heads of state under Britain’s constitutional system?
Adam Tooze: Yeah, it’s a really tricky question. According to one estimate I’ve seen, the total value of what’s called “the firm,” their assets are about $28 billion. And so we’re talking about serious amounts of money. The queen herself was an incredibly wealthy woman. By some estimates, $500 million would be not far off. That includes two palaces, Sandringham and Balmoral, and a stamp collection valued at $100 million, which makes me think the $500 million estimate may be on the low side.
The English monarchs, like most monarchs in most places, basically owned land. They owned the country, and they owned it by the right of seizure. The 1760s is really the moment where the British Constitution in its modern form emerges, because at that point the royal house hands off all its possessions, the Crown lands, to the U.K. Treasury. And the royal house, from that moment onward, receives the so-called civil list, which is a grant by Parliament to fund the monarchy. And that system continued for 250 years, all the way down to 2011, when a Conservative Party government, in an age of austerity, decided that having Parliament voting on the civil list was something of an embarrassment. And so instead, they did a kind of public-private partnership in which the Treasury, as the public branch, agrees to share the revenue from the royal lands. These are these giant landholdings of about $20 billion worth of land across Britain, property that is leased out, rented out, in various ways and developed. And that revenue is split 15 percent to 85 percent, in favor of the Treasury.
CA: Got it. I mean, it does seem to me that there are still vestiges of these kinds of older monarchical rights that are still around in Britain that are in strange tension with the kind of modern sense of property rights. So specifically, when it comes to King Charles III, he now, by virtue of being the monarch, owns the Duchy of Lancaster. And this includes pieces of land and other assets. And I’m just curious, does that mean he owns it in a modern legal sense? Could he sell the Duchy of Lancaster if he wanted to? And this extends to other strange aspects of royal ownership I’ve come across. Britain’s swans, for example, apparently are owned by the monarch, and there is a classification of royal fish, whales, dolphins, sturgeon that are all owned by the monarch. How does this stand in relationship to our modern sense of ownership and what that means?
AT: By virtue of being the person who inhabits that role [of monarch], you could say he owns this land, but really what he’s entitled to is the flow of revenue from it. So he can’t sell it. It stays intact. All he can do is lease it out or rent it or develop it in other ways. As for the swans and all that, I mean, it’s not as crazy as it sounds. The swans once upon a time were the pièce de résistance in any really serious banquet. So if you were going to have a really big banquet, you served a swan. And they were rare. And so the kings being kings, said, “All swans in the country belong to us.” The monarchs own them in the sense that no one else owns them.
CA: I think it’s interesting because, yeah, this is ownership, but it’s not in the sense of it being a commodity. I mean, no one’s under the impression that King Charles now can sell off all of the swans.
AT: No, no. He can’t collateralize the swans.
CA: Well, don’t give him any ideas. But there is a republican movement in Britain that would like to abolish the monarchy. And this got me wondering about how one would even go about doing that, given the system we’ve just described. What would happen if Britain really tried to pursue a republican option?
AT: I think it would be quite simple to do on the basis of the structure of the division between the personal private property of the royals on the one hand, which is really outside the limelight and is modest. You know, they’re not even billionaires. They’re not really proper oligarchs. They’re just kind of rich people. They don’t have as much wealth as your average hedge fund billionaire in the United States, let alone a Bezos or somebody like that. Where their wealth is really located is these Crown land portfolios, Duchy of Lancaster and Cornwall, and those are already under professional management and subject to public audit. So literally all you’d need to do would be retitle them and transfer the revenue flow away from the royal house, and that would be it. And then you would just require the royal household to pay taxes like everyone else.
CA: Hmm. That got me wondering what exactly is the relationship of a sovereign like King Charles to taxes? Is he required to pay taxes on his income the way that normal British citizens do? How about just the taxes on whatever he inherited from Queen Elizabeth?
AT: They’re not required to pay income tax, but under a political arrangement reached by the queen with the governments of the 1990s, they volunteered to pay tax, or at least on a substantial fraction of their income. So the income from the Duchy of Lancaster, the core income of the household, is taxed. What they don’t do, and under quite explicit and sort of legal entitlement, is they do not pay inheritance tax. For some reason, this was a bugbear of the John Major government in the 1990s—the Conservative government that came after Margaret Thatcher, the one that no one ever remembers. It was quite consequential in various ways. And one of the things it did was to amend the royal inheritance law. They apparently got worried about a short sequence in which the queen would die, then Charles would inherit, then he would die. And if you applied inheritance taxation in short succession, you could end up essentially stripping almost all of the assets, because in Britain, you pay inheritance tax over $400,000, give or take. So, you know, really on the death of the monarch, no inheritance tax is due.
But more seriously, you just have to ask yourself the more basic question: If we’re talking about a pot of assets worth $20 billion-plus, is maintaining this ongoing festival of pomp and ceremony and the soap opera of their private lives really the most sensible use for that money? Or could it be spent on something else? Could it be kept as a perpetual pot by all means? Could it be used for educational purposes? Or could it in fact be sold and used to fund, for instance, heat pumps for a large part of the British population to deal with the energy transition and the climate crisis? It’s not a vast amount of money. You couldn’t transform Britain with it, but you could certainly do something more useful than generating this show. But that’s a very utilitarian, kind of crass way of looking at this.
CA: I mean, I admit I find it also bizarre. I really try to understand what the death of the queen means, and I find it hard to understand.
AT: Yes, this is a blank. I’m an expat for a reason. I do not find the spectacle—I don’t buy it.

Louise is our Ecommerce Writer and a shopping guru when it comes to kitting out your home with seasonal decor. She's recently moved into a new flat and is just as excited as you are (probably) to buy Halloween decorations, from those fluffy pumpkin pillows everyone is after to some spooky string lights to hang in her hallway.
"When searching for seasonal pieces to add to your home, budget is always a priority. Ideally, no one wants to spend a cauldron load of money on items that won't be up for long. So I've sourced some cheap but chic buys that'll see you through to next year, as well as more versatile pieces that'll look great after Halloween is over".
When should Halloween decorations be put up?
As with any holiday celebration, there is no set rule when it comes to putting up your decorations. That being said, the most popular time to put up your garlands and get out your pumpkin-shaped pillows is the first two weeks of October, with others waiting until a scheduled Halloween party to fully kit out their space for the spooky-season.
How do I decorate for Halloween on a budget
We spoke to Hannah Littlewood, Festive, Halloween & Small Events Trading Assistant at ASDA George for her advice on decorating, without overspending. She says "Halloween isn't the time for subtlety so spend your money on a few hero pieces that really stand out (like our spooky twig lights ) and then fill out the ambiance with homemade scary paper garlands and lots of sweets."
Otherwise there are plenty of DIY Halloween decorating ideas to try if you'd prefer not to buy.

DirecTV’s “NFL Sunday Ticket” package malfunctioned for the second straight week, causing fans trying to watch through the app or online to miss entire games.
DirecTV said via social media that customers trying to stream the 1 p.m. EDT games were unable to through the app. Shortly after 4 p.m. EDT, they said that the server problems were fixed and that streaming could resume.
That came too little, too late for those trying to view the seven early games. The outages did not affect customers watching via normal satellite service.
A DirecTV spokesman said the company will continue to monitor for server problems and apologized to customers for the inconvenience.
This is the final season that DirecTV will be the exclusive carrier of “Sunday Ticket.” Amazon and Apple are among the bidders for the package of out-of-market games after commissioner Roger Goodell said during the summer that he expected a new carrier.
DirecTV extended its contract in 2014 and pays $1.5 billion per season. The new package is expected to fetch at least $2.5 billion per year.
DirecTV is expected to remain in the running for a package that can be sold to bars and restaurants.

What will it take for the NFL to realize that this Bears-Packers rivalry hasn’t been worth caring about in a long time? Why is this always on Sunday Night Football?
Maybe a Bears win tonight can reignite a rivalry that has been so Packers dominated for so long.

An interesting and little commented data in Brazil is the fact that Brazilian drivers do not measure their car consumption correctly. That’s because, we try to analyze the number of kilometers traveled with a liter of fuel (km/l), but outside Brazil the metric is different.
See too: These 4 accessories are problematic, but a lot of people want to have them in their car
Why do Brazilians make mistakes in car consumption?
As what the car uses is fuel, in most parts of the world, the consumption of the car is measured by the proportion between liters per kilometer (l/km). Imported car owners can see the acronym on their cars.
There are models that have the measure l/100km, that is, how many liters the vehicle consumes to run 100 kilometers.
In the case of the Brazilian mode, the ideal is to talk about autonomy, and not just about the consumption of the car.
What is the range of your vehicle?
Many new cars show the model range on the on-board computer. However, you can book by hand, which is highly recommended for all drivers. Anyone who wants to know the consumption of the car correctly should follow some guidelines.
Just fill the tank, go out for a spin with the car (write down how many km you have driven) and then ask to fill the tank again. So you know how many liters it took to travel a certain distance.
Car consumption: how do I know how much I will spend?
Well, knowing how many kilometers per liter a car does, it’s easy to figure out how much you’re going to spend to travel.
Imagine that your car has 40 liters of tank capacity and that you have noticed that it does an average of 10 km per liter. This means that, with a full tank, you will walk 400 km.
So, if your trip is 800 km in total, you will need to fill the tank twice. Now, just multiply the value of a liter of gasoline by the amount you filled up.
Using the same example, imagine that the liter of Gasoline it’s R$5. Your car does 10 km per liter and you will drive for 800 km in total. Thus, there will be 80 liters of fuel, which totals an expense of R$ 400.

(NEXSTAR) — Does anybody like going to the airport? Whether you find it glamorous or treacherous, moving through an airport is a hard-to-avoid event if you want to see the world. But not all airports are created equal, apparently.
This year, travel news and resources company Frommer’s ranked the 10 “worst” airports in the U.S. based on “flight delays, security wait times, customer satisfaction surveys, and the reviews of experts.”
These are the 10 worst airports in the U.S., according to Frommer’s:
10. Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) — This Virginia airport’s layout and location were among the outlet’s main complaints, though it was noted for being attractively built. Airport manager Richard Golinowski recently told The Washington Post he’s aware some of the older buildings are “starting to see some problems,” but noted they’re working to address these issues, including adding a 14-gate concourse expected to be complete in 2026.
9. West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) — The location of this airport in Charleston, West Virginia, is labeled “scary” by Frommer’s — the site is surrounded on all sides by cliffs. The facility was previously known only as Yeager Airport, but was renamed in January in order to be classified as “international,” WOWK in Charleston reports. Its international U.S. Customs service won’t be ready until December, however.
8. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — Delays and cancellations landed this massive hub in north Central Texas at eighth on the list. But DFW recently became the U.S. airport with the most nonstop flights (a title it previously held) and is currently offering about 239 nonstop destinations, according to aviation news outlet Simple Flying.
7. Denver International Airport (DIA) — Turbulence. Denver is surrounded by mountainous, hilly areas, and this can result in bumpier flights than many may be used to. (Apparently, mountains + wind = air waves.) The Federal Aviation Administration has a Tips of Mountain Flying manual that Frommer’s notes could be useful here.
6. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) — This Ohio airport is dinged by Frommer’s for needed updates and lack of space. A 2019 J.D. Power customer satisfaction study placed CLE even worse, coming second-to-last.
5. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) — Some tough traffic and closed roads near the City of Brotherly Love’s main airport make for a rocky trip for passengers, both Frommer’s and J.D. Power say. The latter named PHL dead last on its 2021 airport customer satisfaction survey.
4. O’Hare International Airport (ORD) — Chicago’s massive airport is considered still too small by Frommer’s, and often-delayed flights didn’t help its ranking. Meanwhile, J.D. Power ranked it last on its 2021 customer satisfaction survey for “mega”-sized airports.
3. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — It may be the only airport with a two-part “LOST” episode named after it, but getting lost at it is also a complaint, based on ratings. The airport is noted to have a “confusing” layout and, like most of Los Angeles, traffic problems.
2. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) — One of New York City’s major airports is clocked for running late on the clock, as Frommer’s says delays and cancellations are common at LGA. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) shows 22.52% of flights were delayed or cancelled from July 2019 to July 2021. To remedy some of these problems, LGA has undergone a few alterations (see below).
1. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) — BTS data shows 24.29% of flights at this New Jersey airport were delayed or cancelled between July 2019 and July 2021. Recently, EWR was shifted from being part of the NYC code by the International Air Transport Association, reported Travel + Leisure. What will this mean for flyers? Perhaps less competition for flights and thus higher prices for travelers to New York, T+L says. Yahoo! Finance reports the change is set to go into effect Oct. 3.
LaGuardia, the second-worst on Frommer’s list, has since undergone billions of dollars worth of renovations, transforming from what Bloomberg called in June a “once-infamous” airport into one named the best in design and architecture by an international jury for the Prix Versailles Award.
Meanwhile, Fundera, a small business resources site run by NerdWallet, also ranked the five worst regional airports for business travelers based on convenience and flight performance/availability. Its “worst” airports were, in order from least-worst to worst: Palm Beach International Airport, Albuquerque International Sunport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport, and Memphis International Airport.
Fundera found Memphis airport’s single business lounge and lack of direct flights lacking, ultimately ranking it as the worst, Travel Channel reported. But proving that “best” and “worst” may be in the eye of the beholder, Fundera ranked LAX — Frommer’s third-worst — as its fifth best for business travelers, citing affordable parking fees and flight availability.
Safe travels wherever you fly from — and may your stresses stay low.

What's the NFL record for passing touchdowns in a game? originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
The Baltimore Ravens looked well on their way to a victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.
And then Tua happened.
With by far the best game of his young NFL career, Tua Tagovailoa powered the Dolphins to an improbable 42-38 comeback victory at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.
Stay informed about local news and weather during the hurricane season. Get the NBC 6 South Florida app for iOS or Android and pick your alerts.
After falling behind 35-14 late in the third, Tagovailoa threw four passing touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including 48-yard and 60-yard bombs to Tyreek Hill. The former first-round pick's incredible quarter was capped by a game-winning eight-yard connection with Jaylen Waddle inside the final 20 seconds.
Tagovailoa finished with a staggering passing line of 36-for-50 with 469 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. His six touchdown passes tied Dan Marino and Bob Griese for the Dolphins' single-game franchise record, but how close did he come to the NFL record?
Sports
What's the single-game NFL record for passing touchdowns?
Tagovailoa needed one more touchdown pass to match the NFL record.
A total of eight players have thrown for a record seven touchdowns in one game, with Hall of Famer Sid Luckman being the first to achieve the feat. As a member of the Chicago Bears, Luckman lit up the New York Giants for seven touchdowns in November 1943.
Drew Brees was the most recent player with a seven-TD game, doing so in a thrilling 52-49 New Orleans Saints win over the Giants back in November 2015.
The other QBs to reach the milestone are Adrian Burk (Eagles, 1954), George Blanda (Oilers, 1961), Y.A. Tittle (Giants, 1962), Joe Kapp (Vikings, 1969), Peyton Manning (Broncos, 2013) and Nick Foles (Eagles, 2013).
Tagovailoa's six-TD game is tied for ninth all time with a long list of players. Prior to Sunday, Patrick Mahomes was the last player to have a six-TD performance. Despite Mahomes' huge outing, the Kansas City Chiefs actually lost that November 2018 game in a 54-51 shootout with the Los Angeles Rams.

Saturday's Eire Og-hosted Gaelic for Mothers and Others brought a huge crowd to the Pinebank venue where teams from across the Provence took part.
Burt from Donegal travelled for the event, as did Breda from County Down. Also included were Sarsfields, host club Eire Og (pictured), St Peter's, Clann Eireann and St Michael's Magheralin, who lined out girls who hadn't played in competitive action for their clubs in the past.
Organiser Caroline Henry said, "This event has been a huge success. All of the girls, many of whom hadn't played for their clubs in the past, have now formed new friendships and are just enjoying everything about playing.
"We have also raised money for the charity Downs and Proud."
Although no trophies were handed out on the day the ladies showed a great competitive edge and no small measure of skill.
The idea, which is practised on a wide-scale basis throughout the association, brought a big crowd to Craigavon.
Eire Og chairman Ian O'Hagan commented: "What a turn out from the teams and supporters. The girls who ran with the idea did a fantastic job."

Critically endangered mountain yellow-legged frogs who were raised and cared for at Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific are being released back into their habitat in the Southern California mountains to help rebuild their populations, the aquarium announced Sunday.
"The Aquarium's amphibian team have taken special care of these frogs over the past year, and we are very gratified to have had a hand in helping this local endangered species,'' said Brett Long, the Aquarium's curator of mammals and birds.
After the Bobcat Fire in 2020 that threatened the cold-water streams where the species lives, government wildlife agencies rescued the remaining mountain yellow-legged frogs and tadpoles from these areas and placed them with local institutions such as the Aquarium of the Pacific and other partner facilities.
The aquarium has been caring for and raising around 125 wild tadpoles hatched in April 2020 and about 150 who were hatched in 2021 at the Los Angeles Zoo, one of the other facilities in the partnership.
Officials said previous wild releases showed that the frogs were most successful when released as froglets who had metamorphosed out of the tadpole stage. The aquarium's tadpoles began to metamorphose into froglets in spring and summer of 2022, making them good candidates for release.
Several organizations have helped in the effort. Scientists and officials from the U.S. Geological Survey and California Department of Fish and Wildlife monitor wild populations and oversee releases, and the release site
was approved by California State Parks.
Mountain yellow-legged frogs are native to California's mountainous regions and depend on habitats in the San Gabriel, San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains. Members of the public can support the conservation effort by staying on marked trails and paths and respecting signs announcing off-limits areas when visiting local mountains.

Origin Energy has offloaded its stake in the Northern Territory's gas-rich Beetaloo Basin for a loss of up to $90 million.
Origin announced on Monday it will sell out of the project to focus on its "strategy and ambition to lead the energy transition", and would book a post-tax loss of $70 million to $90 million on the transaction.
"We believe gas will continue to play an important role in the energy mix and it remains a core part of our business," Origin chief executive Frank Calabria said.
The sale would allow Origin to allocate funds towards its main goals of increasing cleaner energy and delivering reliable energy during the transition to greener sources, he said.
Divestment of the Beetaloo interests and a review of remaining exploration permits would have no impact on Origin's Australia-Pacific gas business or its future fuels strategy, which involved potential hydrogen and carbon offset projects, the company said.
Origin said agreements had been executed with Tamboran B1, an entity jointly owned by Tamboran Resources and major shareholder Bryan Sheffield, to divest its interest in the Beetaloo Basin for an up-front payment of $60 million and a royalty on future production over the life of the field.
Origin has also inked a 10-year gas sales agreement for up to 36.5 petajoules annually, conditional on Tamboran taking a final investment decision and getting regulatory approvals to go ahead.
The Beetaloo is one of a number of gas fields the former coalition government planned to develop to help boost the economy and secure Australia's energy supply.
However, concerns have been raised over the project, with many fearing hydraulic fracturing in the basin could jeopardise Australia's efforts to meet its emissions reduction targets and contaminate groundwater in aquifers.
About 90 per cent of the NT's water supply comes from groundwater.
Origin said it would undertake a strategic review of all remaining exploration permits, excluding its interests in Australia-Pacific gas, with a view to exiting those permits over time.
"We've been exploring in the Beetaloo Basin alongside our partner Falcon for eight years, and we're grateful for the strong support we have received from the local community, including native title holders and contractors, as well as the Northern Territory and federal governments," Mr Calabria said.
Completion of the transaction is subject to NT ministerial consent.

Nearly 16 million American adults have chronic backaches with stabbing, pulsing pain that cannot be easily relieved by medication or physical therapy. In some cases, even surgery does nothing to relieve the pain.
That’s when a tiny implant called a “spinal stimulator” can give some patients their lives back.
Lou Baxter has more. It’s your health tonight.
James Moharter, 64, spent 17 years in excruciating pain.
“We got hit from behind, sent into some other vehicles, five cars rolled and rolled,” said James Moharter, suffers from back pain.
Three back surgeries provided no relief. He was on pain medication 24 hours a day, including morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl.
“People would be pinning notes on me cuz they came to the house and couldn’t wake me up,” said Moharter.
James told his doctors he wanted to find another way to manage the pain. Doctors at Duke suggested a spinal stimulator.
“It’s just kind of another tool in your pocket that a patient can use to help decrease their pain,” said Peter Yi, M.D., anesthesiologist, Duke Health.
The spinal stimulator looks like a pacemaker with two wires attached.
“There are leads that are placed in the epidural space, and it’s sending an electrical impulse down into the area of the spinal cord,” said Yi.
Surgeons implant the device in the lower back or buttocks. The device targets the nerves that process pain. The patient controls the strength of the signal with a remote.
“I have a wireless charger that I have to hold against my hip every couple weeks to charge me up a little bit,” said Moharter.
James says he barely needs any medication at all now.
“Couldn’t do this before. I’m trying to gain back things that I thought I never would do again,” said Moharter.
Now, for the first time in years, James is going camping.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, Jalen Ramsey intercepted a potential go-ahead touchdown pass in the end zone and the Los Angeles Rams held off a second-half rally attempt by the Atlanta Falcons for a 31-27 victory Sunday.
Cooper Kupp had two TD catches for the defending Super Bowl champions, who bounced back from a disappointing defeat against the Buffalo Bills in their season opener.
Atlanta — which has started 0-2 for the third straight year — trailed 28-3 early in the third quarter before mounting a comeback.
Troy Anderson blocked a punt that Lorenzo Carter returned 26 yards for a touchdown, and a 2-point conversion pass from Marcus Mariota to Drake London brought the Falcons within 31-25 with 5:06 remaining.
Los Angeles turned it over on their ensuing drive when Darren Hall forced Kupp to fumble and recovered it at the Rams 37. On third-and-13 from the Rams 24, Mariota tried to find Bryan Edwards, but it was picked off by Ramsey.
Los Angeles took a safety when returner Brandon Powell ran out of the end zone on punt formation after a three-and-out. After the free kick, Atlanta had one final chance at the Falcons 40, but Mariota was sacked before he could get a Hail Mary attempt off on the final play.
Stafford completed his first 12 passes en route to going 27 of 36. Kupp had 11 catches for 108 yards and touchdowns on consecutive drives in the second and third quarters.
Kupp caught a 3-yard TD with 18 seconds remaining in the first half to give the Rams a 21-3 lead. The Super Bowl MVP's first score came three plays after Rams rookie cornerback Cobie Durant picked off a pass bobbled by Cordarrelle Patterson and returned it 51 yards up the right sideline to the Falcons 9.
The Rams then took the second half kickoff and extended their lead by another touchdown when Kupp made an over-the-shoulder catch on a fade pattern on third-and-4 from Atlanta's 10.
Mariota was 17 of 26 for 196 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
London, the No. 8 overall pick who went to college at Southern California, had eight catches for 86 yards, including his first touchdown during the third quarter.
The Falcons were able to move the ball in the first half, but were done in by mistakes. They got the opening kickoff and went 49 yards before Younghoe Koo was wide left on a 44-yard field goal attempt. Los Angeles would convert that into a touchdown when Stafford connected with Allen Robinson for a 1-yard TD.
Atlanta then turned it over on downs on its next possession when Patterson was stopped by Bobby Wagner and Greg Gaines. The Rams made took advantage of the short field and scored eight plays later when Darrell Henderson went 8 yards around right guard to make it 14-0 with 9:34 remaining in the second quarter.
INJURIES
Falcons: CB A.J. Terrell was evaluated for a head injury in the first half and was cleared to return.
Rams: RG Tremayne Anchrum suffered an ankle injury on the opening series and did not return. ... CB Troy Hill (questionable) was also injured in the first half.
UP NEXT
Falcons: Travel to face the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday.
Rams: Travel to take on the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.

Details Emerging From Erin Andrews' Terrifying News
News of Erin Andrews being in a car with a driver who fell asleep behind the wheel went viral on social media earlier this week.
The veteran Fox Sports reporter has provided some details on the terrifying event.
Andrews explained what happened on her podcast with Charissa Thompson.
“I’m typing, headphones are working, we’re good. I hear snoring,” Andrews detailed on her podcast with Charissa Thompson. “I know it’s not Greg Olsen, Kevin Burkhardt or Aaron Rodgers snoring. It’s my driver who fell asleep at the wheel. On a highway from Chicago!”
Thompson interrupted: “Timeout. What do you mean he fell asleep at the wheel?”
“Snoring. Sleeping,” Andrews reiterated. “And the car is moving, 65 miles an hour.
“I am so thankful I put my phone on mute because we’re on a Zoom. I put my phone on mute and I go “Are you effing sleeping?!” Wakes up, Clark Griswold, it was awful. So now I have the quarterback of the team I’m trying to work on, I’m trying to take notes. I have full-blown anxiety. This is not the way I want to go down. This is not the way I want to die.”
Thankfully, she and the crew are still with us.
Someone get that driver a Red Bull or something next time, though...

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.

No. 24 Texas A&M football’s 17-9 victory against No. 13 Miami on Saturday, Sept. 17, got its season back on track. The win improved A&M’s record to 2-1 heading into conference play.
While not an exciting game, the Aggies did the job on both sides of the ball to defeat a talented Hurricane team. Here’s a couple of takeaways from the nighttime affair:
Rush defense needs improvement
At times, it was alarming how easy it was for the Miami offense to get yards on the ground. Sophomore running backs Henry Parrish Jr. and Jaylon Knighton combined for 164 rushing yards against the A&M defense.
In its upcoming SEC schedule, A&M faces talented rushing teams in Alabama and Arkansas. Being able to stop the run will be necessary for A&M to have a successful SEC slate.
Devon Achane is good at football
It seemed like A&M coach Jimbo Fisher’s game plan was to get junior running back Devon Achane the ball in space, and it led to some great results. Achane tallied 140 total yards and added what ended up being the deciding touchdown catch in the third quarter.
The maroon and white’s offense is dependent on Achane being great, and he was on Saturday.
Junior quarterback Max Johnson’s first touchdown as an Aggie was the aforementioned pass to Achane. Johnson said the special moment summed up how multi-talented Achane is in the backfield.
“It was a little swing pass to the right,” Johnson said. “I hit it about eight yards deep, and [Achane] ended up doing the rest, which is kind of cool. We don't really see that a lot from a bunch of running backs, so it was kind of special. We line him up at receiver, line him up in the backfield. He kind of does it all. He's very special.”
The 12th Man effect remained strong
After last week’s disappointing loss, it’s pretty incredible for Saturday’s game to result in the third largest crowd in the history of Kyle Field at 107,245.
The crowd was definitely a factor in Saturday’s game and contributed to a pretty underwhelming performance from sophomore quarterback Tyler Van Dyke.
Junior offensive lineman Layden Robinson said A&M was proud to get the victory in front of the 12th Man.
“It's great to get a win in front of fans, to make the fans proud,” Robinson said. “That's very important for us because our fans support us through dark times and good times, as you can see tonight. This stadium was packed. Thank you to the Aggie fans. Appreciate you so much for your support.”
A&M’s secondary has depth
Part of the reason why Miami was so reliant on the running game was because of its struggles in the air. A&M’s secondary, already playing without a couple of important players, lost senior defensive backs Demani Richardson and Brian George after they were ejected from targeting in the first quarter.
However, this didn’t stop A&M’s secondary from making life difficult for Van Dyke and Miami’s receivers. Van Dyke only completed 21 of 41 passes for 217 yards.
Junior defensive back Jaylon Jones said A&M found success by sticking to the game plan no matter who was in the game.
“Just bring all the guys together, you know, whoever came in,” Jones said. “We believe in everybody. Everybody's a great player out there. So we told them boys that came in, just calm down, you know what I'm saying? Follow the execution, follow the plan. We're going to be OK.”
Continuing this level of play will be a great asset for the Aggies as they prepare for some of the great passing offenses the SEC has to offer … like Alabama.
Solid quarterback play
Johnson showed Saturday why he should have been the quarterback to start the season. Simply put, he did the job and his performance should improve once suspended freshmen receivers Evan Stewart and Chris Marshall presumably return on Saturday, Sept. 24, against Arkansas at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
In his first career start, Johnson completed 10 of 20 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown pass. The junior quarterback almost exclusively threw to Achane and senior wide receiver Ainias Smith, as each caught four passes.
Fisher is content with Johnson being A&M’s starting quarterback as the team enters its SEC schedule.
“I'm very confident with him,” Fisher said. “Again, [I] thought he played some really nice. I can't [wait to] see the film. He got some pressures. He had some really good reads.”
Johnson said being constantly ready to play prepared him to go out and have success against Miami.
“I think just being ready at all times was kind of my mindset,” Johnson said. “I've been through the situation multiple times at LSU, whether it was starting or not playing at first and then getting my chance. I came ready to work every day, and being around those guys makes it fun.”

Spain became the EuroBasket 2022 champions after beating France 88-76 in the final on Sunday.
Spain enjoyed a good start and dropped some accurate three-pointers as they extended the lead to 11 points later in the first period at Berlin Arena.
Juancho Hernangomez kept firing some accurate three-pointers in the second quarter and kept widening the gap to 21 points, between his team and the French, at some point, but France managed to close the gap to 10 points before the half-time break.
After the half-break, France seemed more careful but could not hold back the Spaniards, particularly the Hernangomez brothers, and the game, which Spain dominated, ended 88-76.
Spain claimed their fourth title in the FIBA-held tournament.
Juancho Hernangomez led Spain with 27 points, with seven of them three-pointers, while his brother Willy contributed with 14 and Lorenzo Brown made a double-double with 14 points and 11 assists.
France's best duo on the court were Evan Fournier and Thomas Heurtel, who dropped 23 and 16 points, respectively.
The Spanish star Willy Hernangomez was named the EuroBasket 2022 MVP (most valuable player).
He was also included in the EuroBasket 2022 All-Star 5, along with his compatriot Lorenzo Brown, France's Rudy Gobert, Germany's Dennis Schroder, and Greece's Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Donald Trump appeared to endorse the "QAnon" conspiracy theory over the weekend after playing a piece of music associated with the movement at a campaign rally in Ohio.
During the same speech, members of the audience in Youngstown also raised their index fingers, a gesture closely associated with the conspiracy movement, which dates back to 2016.
The hand gestures at the rally and the choice of music intensified fears that Trump was indicating his support for the conspiracy theory movement described by the FBI in August 2019 as a growing domestic terrorist threat.
"QAnon figures are claiming the use of the song brings some kind of legitimacy for them," Alex Kaplan, a senior researcher for the US media watchdog Media Matters wrote on Twitter.

Advertise with NZME."Trump Sending a Clear Message Patriots," a QAnon-linked account on the pro-Trump social media network Truth Social wrote. "He Re-Truthed This for a Reason."
According to analysts at Media Matters, the piece played at the rally and on the videos was "Wwg1wga" – an acronym for the QAnon slogan "Where we go one, we go all."
A spokesman for Trump insisted the music was a Mirrors, composed by Will Van De Crommert, whose credits include writing music for the 2018 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. However, analysis by the website, using audio editing software found the two pieces were virtually identical.
QAnon centres on the belief that America is controlled by a secret elite cabal of Satan-worshipping child abductors headed by, among others, Hillary Clinton and George Soros.
It is based on theories floated by an alleged senior anonymous official, known as Q, who has "exposed" the workings of the "deep state" in postings on far-right websites. The country, QAnon believes, can only be saved by a true patriot, like Donald Trump.
It is not the first time Trump has flirted with imagery or music associated with QAnon. He has sent similar signals on his social media network Truth Social, using the same music in campaign videos as well as promoting a raft of conspiracy theories himself.
For instance, postings by the former president included a claim that a report would show the 2020 election was fraudulent and that he should be reinstalled in the White House.
There are now more than 300 QAnon-linked followers on Truth Social, where they have been welcomed after being banned by Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.

Advertise with NZME.During the rally in Ohio, Trump doubled down on accusations that he was persecuted by the FBI and unfounded claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
"We are a nation that has weaponised its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never ever before," the former president said as his audience expressed approval.
"We have got a Federal Bureau of Investigation that won't allow bad election changing facts to be presented to the public," he added.
America also had "a Department of Justice that refuses to investigate egregious acts of voting irregularities and fraud," he continued. "We have a president who is cognitively impaired and in no condition to lead our country which may end up in World War Three.
According to one estimate, 8 per cent of Americans – around 22 million people – believe in QAnon.

Judge declares mistrial in Renee Lanham murder case; jury convicts her on charges of giving false statements.
The Renee Lanham murder trial ended with a hung jury Wednesday following deliberations that started on Friday.
The Summerville News reports "a Chattooga County Superior Court judge has declared a mistrial in the Susan Renee Lanham murder trial. It was a mistrial on all murder charges. The jury did convict her on two counts of giving false statements.
She remained in the Chattooga County Jail on Thursday morning awaiting sentencing. We also have calls and notes into the Lookout Mountain District Attorney's Office for updates on whether Lanham will be retried on the murder count.
Lanham, 56, was tried on charges of murdering her husband Eddie at his Summerville home in September 2017.
The trial went on for several weeks and including one delay for covid and then was moved to Walker County briefly following the Labor Day floods in Summerville.
We'll have additional updates soon from the district attorney's office.
PREVIOUSLY
The murder trial of Renee Lanham is in the hands of a Chattooga County jury.
Jurors who heard the extended trial portion of the proceedings began deliberations Friday. They were still doing so late Tuesday afternoon, according to the Chattooga County Clerk of Court’s office.
Lanham, known for her work at Hair Benders salon in Rome, is charged with killing her husband Eddie in September 2017.
According to a recent report from radio station WZQZ 99.1 FM and 1180 AM, the trial got underway in late August but was delayed after Renee Lanham’s attorney tested positive for covid. The trial resumed before Labor Day but had to be moved to Walker County because of flooding.
Proceedings later moved back to Chattooga County.
Previous reports show Renee Lanham was arrested on Friday, Feb. 9, 2018, as investigators with the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office along with special agents with the GBI went to her Summerville home.
Investigators say Eddie Lanham, 75, was shot multiple times at his home in what appeared to have been a burglary.
“My investigators and the agents of the GBI have been thoroughly examining and collecting evidence in this case since we became involved with it,” said Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader at the time of her arrest. “Just like in any case, they have followed the evidence and it has led them to Renee Lanham as the person who planned the murder of her husband and saw to it that those plans were followed through with.”
Eddie Lanham was born in Cartersville and was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. A longtime local cosmetologist, he co-owned and operated Hair Benders. He also owned and operated Eddie and Co., a home building company. The Lanhams were married in May 1989.

This will, thanks to the wonder of magic, be a short article. To write too much about Asi Wind’s Inner Circle (presented by David Blaine; Gym at Judson, to Dec. 31) would mean spoiling it, or revealing too much. This is a show of magic tricks after all, played, as its title suggests, to an audience of just under 100 people in an intimate space specially designed by Adam Blumenthal within a much larger theater.
Wind sits at the center of a circular table, audience members occupying the other chairs. Then there are four tiers of seats with the rest of the audience rising in front of him, watching down from above. At the beginning we are asked to put our names and initials on playing cards (blank on one side), and that’s all this reviewer will say. From our names, Wind performs a set of ever more astonishing tricks.
Identity and the power of names give the show its meaning. The audience is immediately involved because one’s name could be mentioned by him or chosen by another audience member. As Wind says in the program, “You could be next!... People respond to their names. Names are powerful; think about how much your name means to you.” (His own birth surname is different to the one he has now, he says, and yes he has heard the name you see here said in many odd ways.)
Wind says he was inspired to create this intimate space after an intimate and impromptu magic show by his mentor Juan Tamariz. He wanted to give the audience the same feeling he had that night, and named the show for such mentors, who are “the reason I can do what I do. Everything I know as a magician is thanks to them, my magic family. Their generosity made me the magician I am.”
The salt-and-pepper haired Wind is handsome, charismatic, mischievous, and very funny—but not cruel. The audience is tasked with doing things (including shuffling and cutting decks of cards), and that allows for some physical comedy as Wind cheekily befuddles with the tricks in front of our eyes. Look around this small space, and you will see everyone like you craning and looking forward. Very quickly, we are entranced and amazed.
Wind is also a storyteller, and so—without adding padding to this fast-paced performance—we hear of him coming from Israel to live in New York, and how, with not much at all, he first did magic in Washington Square Park, just a hop and a skip from the venue we are sitting in. He is open with the audience about his craft in a way that is beguiling and non-patronizing, telling us that magic tricks are really about causing “trouble,” by which he means the tricks we are watching could be much shorter, but the delight of them—as with any short story or set-piece—is in the construction and telling; the sketching of a beginning, middle, and end that requires all our attention.
It is making a trick as elaborate as possible—drawing it out, asking us to do things, building one revelation on top of another—that increases our surprise and awe. The climax of this show will remind you of the climax of any narrative, or fireworks display—and Wind, lucky for us, has an innate desire to top whatever sleight of hand he has just done.
There is a moment in the show before we reach that big finish when Wind talks engagingly of his magician heroes, including Tamariz, Chan Canasta, and Harry Houdini, who, Wind says, would have fooled an audience into thinking he was still on stage when really he’d been backstage having a leisurely coffee for a few minutes. It was from Houdini that Wind learned the importance of creating drama. This show has that—and, as its title suggests, you really do feel part of the “inner circle” because Wind not only involves us in the show’s making—he also engages us in his business and practice of magic.
Magicians don’t do magic, Wind says, they “can only create the illusion of magic—but we can only do it for an audience that wants to see magic. They are a necessary ingredient to complete the circle of what we create.” Wind’s job, he says, is to lead an audience “as close as possible to seeing it, and then you take the final step to complete my work as a magician.”
That is very generous of him. This reporter, seemingly just like everybody else in our audience, had no idea how Wind did what he did right in front of us. But alongside amazing us, he conveyed in simple but deeply felt ways magic’s history, practice, joy, and meaning to him. Wind makes an audience feel like an integral part of his passion, rather than just along for the thrill ride he pilots so expertly. That sense of inclusiveness, that shared passion, feels pretty magical too.

An upstart Spanish-language streamer is taking a big step into original content.
Canela Media will debut a daily entertainment news show, "¡Ponle Canela!," on its streaming platform, Canela.TV, on Oct. 10. "Secretos De Villanas," a reality series that puts some well-known telenovela actresses under one roof to reveal secrets about their lives and careers, will premiere on Oct. 20.
In launching its own original content, Canela.TV is following in the footsteps of much larger and more mature streaming services like Netflix and Hulu that have historically drawn in audiences with licensed content in the hopes they'll stick around to watch original series and movies.
The move brings Canela Media even further into a crowded streaming ecosystem. But founder Isabel Rafferty said the company finds its niche in an opportunity to better serve the Hispanic community in the U.S.
Lea este artículo en español aquí.
"When I launched Canela there was all this talk about streaming wars, but all the services were focused on just one segment, the general market," Rafferty said. "Some services might have a section for Latinos, but it was an afterthought, you had to scroll, scroll, scroll, and would be outdated."
Canela.TV and its ad-supported streaming channels launched in 2020 — shortly after the coronavirus pandemic took hold and viewers began staying home more. The streaming service aims to provide a broad array of free content for Spanish-speaking communities. It currently hosts licensed content from various Spanish-speaking countries and outlets, including classic films, Hallmark movies and more recent competition TV series.
Rafferty said part of her inspiration for launching the site was the relative dearth of options for Spanish-speaking viewers who don't have a pay-TV subscription or access to well-known networks like Telemundo and Univision.
Those networks and other Spanish-language content have captured some of the fastest-growing traditional TV audiences when it comes to average daily household viewership, according to data provider Samba TV.
"Demand for Spanish-language offerings and original programming has been surging," said Dallas Lawrence, a senior vice president at Samba TV.
Initially, Rafferty sought out shows and movies from countries like Colombia and Argentina, because much of Hispanic content in the U.S. is based in Mexico. She wanted to showcase different representations of the Latino community, she said. The service has since added 20,000 hours of content.
Canela said its streaming platform, which is available in the U.S., Mexico and Colombia, has 23 million unique users. Similar free ad-supported streaming services like Paramount Global's Pluto and Fox's Tubi have said they have nearly 70 million and 51 million active users, respectively.
As its audience grew, Rafferty said, the move to adding original shows became key. Canela secured $32 million in a Series A funding round earlier this year and was able to get started on producing its own content. By the end of 2022, it will have 537 hours of original content.
"Streaming services, and just media in general, can be hugely capital-intensive businesses, and the way Isabel [Rafferty] went about this — starting with licensed content on a revenue-share basis to build a really huge library with diverse kinds of content — was incredibly smart," said Susan Lyne of BBG Ventures, an early investor in Canela.
Rafferty said she thinks it's important to have an ad-supported platform that offers content for free: Research showed much of the Hispanic community never had pay-TV subscriptions, and Canela wanted to make the content easily available to everyone, she said.
Advertising spots on the platform sell out monthly, she added, and top-tier consumer companies often buy spots. She plans to keep the ad-supported business model for as long as possible, if not forever, she said, even as the service faces growing competition.
Earlier this year Spanish-language news outlet Telemundo launched its own streaming brand, Tplus, as a hub on NBCUniversal's Peacock platform. Tplus offers original content, which Peacock subscribers can access as part of the $4.99 ad-supported or $9.99 ad-free tiers. TelevisaUnivision similarly launched a free ad-supported streaming platform, called Vix, and in July began offering Vix+, a premium subscription service.
Major streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu and HBO Max, also offer libraries of Spanish-language content.
After the initial debut of Canela's original programming, the company plans to add "Bocetos," a young adult series that takes place in modern-day Mexico, and "Mi Vida," a series that revolves around Latino celebrities and their journeys to fame. Those shows are expected later in October and November.
By December, the company will debut a stand-alone streaming service, Canela Kids, for its younger viewers, which will also feature exclusive and original content. Canela.TV has already started adding some children's programs and says it has seen them become top-watched programming.
Disclosure: NBCUniversal is the parent company of CNBC, Telemundo and Peacock.

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Bob MacIntyre might have just played his way onto Europe’s Ryder Cup team.
The Scottish lefty beat U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick on the first hole of a playoff to win the Italian Open on the Marco Simone course outside Rome that will host next year’s event against the United States.
“This is what I want. This is my only goal for the season — to make that Ryder Cup team,” MacIntyre said. “I think I’ve made a good start.”
Ryder Cup qualification points for Europe’s team started being awarded last week at Wentworth.
It was only the second victory of the 26-year-old MacIntyre’s career but it came against a quality field that included European tour leader Rory McIlroy, who finished fourth after hitting his tee shot on the drivable 16th into the water.
MacIntyre posted a 7-under 64 for the best finishing round Sunday and finished regulation tied at 14 under (270) with Fitzpatrick, who won his first major title at Brookline, Mass., in June.
In the playoff on the 18th hole, MacIntyre sunk a birdie putt from a few feet to clinch it after Fitzpatrick had gotten into trouble by driving into the rough.
“This means everything,” MacIntyre said. “I was down and out two or three months ago. I didn’t know what I was doing. Didn’t know where to go. But I spoke to the right people and there’s so much hard work gone into this.”
MacIntyre’s only previous win came nearly two years ago in Cyprus. He tied for fourth at the 2019 Italian Open at nearby Olgiata.
Victor Perez of France finished third, one stroke behind, after missing a birdie putt on 18; and McIlroy ended up two strokes back.
Europe captain Luke Donald, who finished tied for 34th, was quick to praise MacIntyre.
“Massive congratulations,” Donald tweeted. “Showed a lot of guts and resolve in the playoff to get it done.”
“I played with Bob last week in Wentworth,” Donald told The Associated Press. “Looks like a strong player, but a strong mind — he looks very fearless on the golf course, which you’ll need in a Ryder Cup. It’s a pressure-packed situation.”
The U.S. romped to a record rout over Europe in Whistling Straits, Wisconsin, last year, and Donald appears interested in adding some new players to his team.
“There’s a lot of young talent out there,” Donald said. “It’s a great opportunity for them to show me what they have and to be a part of that team come 12 months.”
From Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, 2023, Marco Simone will become the third venue in continental Europe to host the Ryder Cup after Valderrama in Spain (1997) and Le Golf National in France (2018).
The hilly Marco Simone course was completely redesigned a few years ago with the Ryder Cup in mind and proved to be a serious test this week across all sorts of weather — including heat, rain, wind before Sunday’s perfect conditions.
“It’s been a really good test,” Donald said. “Obviously a very strong field and scoring has been not easy.
“Some of these guys who are likely to be in the Ryder Cup team next year would have seen everything this week. So I think that’s good that they’ll be very prepared.”
Thick rough and tall grass lining the narrow fairways were designed to favor Europe’s team.
“Start of this week, I didn’t think this was going to be (my) style of golf course,” MacIntyre said. “(But) I was able to control my golf ball with wedges and irons and even the hybrid that went into the bag last week.”
Coming from the whisky town of Oban on Scotland’s coast, MacIntyre also plays a local game called shinty that is similar to field hockey.
“It’s a sport that’s close to my heart. My family have all played it (for generations),” he said, adding that he feels “lucky” to have chosen golf as his primary sport.
Fitzpatrick nearly produced an albatross when his second shot on the par-5 12th from 212 yards hit the pin. While Fitzpatrick finished off his eagle from four feet, MacIntyre was starting to struggle a couple of holes ahead on 14 when he found the rough and bogeyed.
But MacIntyre pulled it back together and birdied on 18 to put the pressure on Fitzpatrick in regulation.
“I hit a terrible shot and was back against the wall, and again, just got a dogged attitude, never give up, if I get punched, I punch back,” MacIntyre said. “The birdies coming in were massive and thankfully I got in the playoff.”

There is no major industrialized country in the world more dependent on Russian energy than Germany.
Natural gas, mostly from Russia, is used to power the country's manufacturing sector, and it heats nearly half of the country's households.
To Berlin-based entrepreneur Karolina Attspodina, it is an especially troubling reality, as the European energy crisis revealed how much Germany needs Russia's oil and gas exports to simply function.
"I'm pretty frustrated," said Attspodina, 34, who was born in Ukraine. "And it not just me. A lot of people are. How could we get to this stage that we're so reliant on somebody else, especially Russia?"
Last year, Attspodina co-founded a company to empower Germans to rely a bit less on Russian energy: She sells solar panels that can be installed on apartment balconies and garages.
Here's how it works: The solar panels collect energy from the sun, which is then sent to a device, known as a microinverter, that is plugged into a power socket. The energy from the panels then becomes the initial source of energy for the household, ahead of power from the grid.
By the most optimistic measure, her solar panels can save residents up to 25% on their utility bills.
When Putin's forces invaded Ukraine earlier this year, her crusade against Germany's reliance on Russian oil and gas become even more personal.
"I can see my people dying over at home. I still have family and friends there," Attspodina said.
Other Germans, meanwhile, realized that the invasion meant energy prices at home would soon rise.
The war spiked sales of her solar panels by 70%, she said.
"I wish it never happened in this way, but everyone really understood in a new way that we needed to be more independent in terms of energy," she said.
She is now racing to keep up. Even though regulations limit the amount of power her solar panels can generate, she has a backlog of 3,000 orders she is now trying to fill.
"This is a way for you to actually reduce your energy bill, but also reduce CO2 and help our climate crisis and obviously help the fact that we are reliant on the Russian gas," she said.
Dimming lights countrywide to save energy
Across Germany, the government is taking its own steps to try to reduce energy consumption: Dimming lights in public places; cranking down the heating of public pools; turning off water fountains — some cities are even considering turning off traffic lights in lightly populated areas.
Russia has been gradually sending less gas to Europe in response to Western sanctions. The critical Nord Stream 1 pipeline now sends just 20% of what it is capable of to Europe — some fear that Russia will turn off the taps completely this winter.
That would make a painful energy crunch even worse, said Fabian Ronningen, a senior analyst at Rystad Energy.
"The energy crisis will last as long as prices are very high and Germany remains reliant on Russian gas, which will not be a short-term thing," he said.
We Do Solar's sales bump, according to Ronningen, dovetails with residential solar panel purchases surging across Germany in response to the energy crisis.
Solar energy now accounts for around 9% of the electricity Germany consumes. Ronningen said residents installing more solar modules on balconies and rooftops is a welcome development, but there is no easy fix to solve the crisis.
"Consumers have to deal with these prices in the winter and also for the coming year," he said.
Solar is a boon for some, out of reach for others
In Berlin, one of Attspodina's customer, Leo von Bismarck, 40, a tech entrepreneur, recently installed the solar panels at his parents' place in the city's posh Mitte neighborhood.
Looking at the eight black panels attached to the outside of the balcony, von Bismarck said they were appealing because they double as a privacy screen. He is happy about the cost savings too.
"Some people are just paralyzed by the urge to do something, but at the same time not knowing how to do it," he said. "And this is really plug and play, to be honest. It's really as simple as that."
Easy for a von Bismarck say. For many Germans, at 1,300 euros, the cost of buying the cheapest set of solar modules is simply out of reach.
Like for Lydia Dietsch, a graphic designer in Berlin who said there is no way she could afford them.
At the same time, her utility bill recently delivered a nasty sticker shock. She lives with her partner and a roommate.
"Prices already increased from like 91 Euros per month to 410 per month," she said.
With solar panels out of reach and her energy bill soaring, Dietsch is taking shorter showers. Sometimes cold showers.
"I'm trying to avoid cooking with the gas oven and use other things instead," she added. "We have a grill."
Bracing for the coming winter, Dietsch said she might have no choice but to shiver her way through it.
"I'm afraid of winter. I don't know what will happen," she said. "We will just be in the cold rooms, I guess."

The police arrested this Sunday (18/9), a second person suspected of involvement in the death of Jonas Lucas Alves Dias, 55 years old, winner of R$ 47.1 million in Mega-Sena, in 2020, in Hortolândia, countryside of São Paulo. Sao Paulo. Police said it is a 24-year-old transgender woman, known as Rebeca, but have not released other information so far. “She was taken to the jail at the Participatory Police Station in Piracicaba, where she remains detained,” the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat (SSP) said in a statement.
To Estadão, the Santa Bárbara D’Oeste Civil Guard pointed out that a third person suspected of involvement was arrested this Sunday afternoon and sent to Piracicaba, where the crime is being investigated. The information has not yet been confirmed by the Civil Police.
The arrest took place with the support of the Civil Guard of Santa Bárbara D’Oeste, a municipality in the interior of São Paulo where the four investigated for the crime lived. On Saturday (17/9), Rogério de Almeida Spínola, 48 years old, was arrested.
The suspects were identified as Rogério de Almeida Spínola, Samuel Messias Pereira Batista, Marcos Vinicyus Sales de Oliveira, alias Vini, and Roberto Jeferson da Silva, alias Gordo. The police called for the temporary arrests of the four. The police officers also carried out search and seizure warrants at the addresses of the two investigated who own the vehicles used in the crime.
The investigation was based on images from different surveillance cameras, which recorded the approach and also the moment when the suspects went to the bank with the victim’s card. According to delegate Juliana Ricci, Dias was surrendered around 6 am on Tuesday, 9/13, in a place close to his home.
The vehicle used in the kidnapping, a silver S-10 pickup truck, was driven by a 22-year-old boy, with police records for embezzlement and receiving. He had left the prison system in September 2021. The action was supported by another vehicle, a black Fiesta, driven by a 38-year-old man with no criminal record.
Dias was taken to a bank branch in Campinas, in the same region. Criminals used your bank card and password to enable a phone app. With that, they were able to make two withdrawals in the amount of R$ 2 thousand and a transfer in the amount of R$ 18 thousand to the account of a third investigated, 24 years old.
The man arrested is 48 years old and has a series of stints with the police for crimes such as theft, murder, embezzlement and bodily harm. He, who served 15 years in prison and left the penitentiary in December last year, was located by the police in Santa Bárbara d’Oeste. The suspect denies involvement in the crime. The other three investigated are also from the city.
The victim was attacked and thrown on the banks of the Bandeirantes Highway. Dias was found alive, but he could not resist his injuries.

Noah Syndergaard, Phillies aim for 3-game sweep of Marlins
The Philadelphia Phillies — perhaps without first baseman Rhys Hoskins — will shoot for a three-game sweep of the host Miami Marlins on Thursday night.
Hoskins suffered a bruise on his right hand when he was hit by a pitch from Edward Cabrera in the third inning on Wednesday. X-rays were negative.
Even so, the Phillies (80-62) went on to win their fifth consecutive game. Former Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto victimized his former team with two homers and four RBIs in a 6-1 victory.
The Phillies, who hold the second of three National League wild-card positions, have won 10 of their past 12 meetings with the Marlins. Miami won the teams’ first head-to-head series this year, taking three out of four games at home in mid-April, but the Phillies have dominated since then.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said sweeping the Marlins over three games in the final series before the All-Star break was a boost to his team.
“That was an important series,” Thomson said on Wednesday. “I know the Marlins haven’t scored a lot of runs lately, but they have the ability to score. They have done it against us. They are a good club.”
On Thursday, Philadelphia will start right-hander Noah Syndergaard (9-9, 4.09 ERA), who is very familiar with the Marlins from his days as a member of the New York Mets.
Miami (58-85) will start right-hander Pablo Lopez (8-10, 4.04 ERA).
Syndergaard, since being acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 2, is 4-1 with a 4.61 ERA in seven starts for the Phillies.
In 14 career starts against the Marlins, Syndergaard is 7-2 with a 2.30 ERA. This year, he is 0-1 with a 3.27 ERA in two starts vs. Miami.
The 30-year-old veteran is 7-3 with a 3.56 ERA at home this year. On the road, he is 2-6 with a 5.06 ERA.
Lopez is 2-1 with a 3.16 ERA in seven career starts against the Phillies. He beat Philadelphia on April 15, when he tossed 5 1/3 scoreless innings in Miami.
The Marlins are 13-15 when Lopez starts. On Thursday, he likely will have to face Phillies star Bryce Harper, who leads his squad with a .956 OPS.
Harper went 1-for-3 with a homer, two walks and two runs on Wednesday, but he was overshadowed by Realmuto.
Syndergaard figures to face Marlins rookie third baseman Jordan Groshans, who went 3-for-3 on Wednesday in his second major league game. The 22-year-old Texas native went 0-for-3 in his debut on Tuesday.
“Getting that first hit is always big, to get that out of the way,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “I’m sure as the game went on, his confidence grew.
“He has a nice swing. If he stays with his approach, he has a chance to hit. He is still young, and he will get bigger and stronger.”
Groshans said he felt more comfortable on Wednesday.
“It was awesome,” he said. “(Getting the first hit) was a big relief. I felt like the world was off my shoulders.
“I just tried to see the ball up. I tried not to swing at anything low in the zone.”

Researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNA with the aid of physics and a tiny magnet. Telomeres are seen by many scientists as the key to living longer. They protect genes from damage but get a bit shorter each time a cell divides. If they become too short, the cell dies. This breakthrough discovery will help us understand aging and disease.
When you hear DNA mentioned, physics is usually not the first scientific discipline that springs to mind. However, John van Noort from the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) in the Netherlands is one of the scientists who found the new DNA structure. As a biophysicist, he uses methods from physics for biological experiments. This also caught the attention of biologists from Nanyan Technological University in Singapore, who asked him to help study the DNA structure of telomeres. They published the results on September 14 in the scientific journal Nature.
String of beads
Every cell of our bodies contains chromosomes that carry genes that determine our characteristics (what we look like, for instance). At the ends of these chromosomes are telomeres, which protect the chromosomes from damage. They’re a bit like aglets, the plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces.
Because the DNA between the telomeres is two meters long, it has to be folded to fit in a cell. This is achieved by wrapping the DNA around packages of proteins. Together, the DNA and proteins are known as a nucleosome. These are arranged into something similar to a string of beads, with a nucleosome, a piece of free (or unbound) DNA, a nucleosome, and so on.
This string of beads then folds up even more. How it does so depends on the length of the DNA between the nucleosomes, the beads on the string. Two structures that occur after folding were already known. In one of them, two adjacent beads stick together and free DNA hangs in between (figure 2A). If the piece of DNA between the beads is shorter, the adjacent beads do not manage to stick together. Then two stacks form alongside each other (figure 2B).
In their study, Van Noort and colleagues discovered another telomere structure. Here the nucleosomes are much closer together, so there is no longer any free DNA between the beads. This ultimately creates one big helix, or spiral, of DNA (figure 2C).
Magnet
The new structure was discovered using a combination of electron microscopy and molecular force spectroscopy. The latter technique comes from Van Noort’s lab. Here one end of the DNA is attached to a glass slide and a tiny magnetic ball is stuck to the other. A set of strong magnets above this ball then pull the string of pearls apart. By measuring the amount of force needed to pull the beads apart one by one, you find out more about how the string is folded. The researchers in Singapore then used an electron microscope to get a better picture of the structure.
Building blocks
Structure, says Van Noort, is “the holy grail of molecular biology.” If we know the structure of the molecules, this will give us more insight into how genes are switched on and off and how enzymes in cells deal with telomeres: how they repair and copy DNA, for example. The discovery of the new telomeric structure will improve our understanding of the building blocks in the body. And that in turn will ultimately help us study aging and diseases such as cancer and develop drugs to fight them.

The ball was in the air, and on television you could see that it was passing the neon-green line signifying a reasonable field-goal target, and if you felt a familiar queasiness stirring in your gizzard … well, could anyone blame you? The Jets have invented some remarkable ways to lose through the years, across the decades.
But then a funny thing happened. The ball didn’t nestle safely between the numbers of anyone wearing a brown jersey. Instead, here was Ashtyn Davis, a green 21 against his white road jersey, stepping in front of Jacoby Brissett’s last pass. Sonofagun — the Jets were really going to win this game. They were going to complete the miracle.
Sonofagun.
“They left the door open a crack,” said Robert Saleh, the Jets head coach, who somehow remained composed on the outside even as unfettered jubilation had to have been bursting on the inside. “Just enough for us to break through.”
This was like watching a quintessential Jets game in a fun-house mirror. Any Jets fans with any reasonable amount of time served can rattle off 10 or 12 unloseable games the Jets have managed to lose, some in the very city, Cleveland, where the Jets were now celebrating a hard-to-fathom 31-30 victory over the disbelieving Browns.
In truth the Browns left a little more than a crack. Nick Chubb, brilliant most of the day (87 rushing yards, three touchdowns) stuck the crowbar in there first, getting greedy and scoring a needless TD with 1:55 to play and the Jets out of timeouts. Cleveland kicker Cade York stuck a few fingers in and widened it a few inches by shanking the PAT.
Then the entire Browns secondary jammed a bunch of their feet inside, leaving Jets receiver Corey Davis spectacularly uncovered for a 65-yard touchdown that really shouldn’t have mattered — except inside FirstEnergy Stadium, the 67,431 folks on hand began to feel the kind of unsettling vibes that have ruined Jets’ fans nervous systems from the Polo Grounds to Shea to Giants Stadium to MetLife.
“It was really weird how quiet the crowd got,” Jets quarterback Joe Flacco said, but again: it shouldn’t have mattered. The Browns were still up six. The Jets needed to convert an onside kick, and since the NFL changed the rules nobody converts onside kicks anymore.
The Jets converted the onside kick.
“I’m gonna smack my guy,” Will Parks told Justin Hardee just before Braden Mann faked right and squibbed left, “and you get the ball.”
Parks blasted Amari Cooper. Hardee got the ball. And somehow 67,431 people found a decibel level even lower than silent. They kicked in the door like Popeye Doyle.
“I was like a kid in a candy store,” Hardee said later.
From there? Joe Flacco turned back his watch to 2012 or so. The Browns’ defense kept retreating, kept allowing Flacco to complete short passes, kept allowing Jets receivers to slip out of bounds. And then, when offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur called a play into Flacco’s helmet on third-and-10, Browns’ 15, 30 seconds left an odd thing happened in the Jets’ huddle.
Flacco smiled.
“It’s one of our staples,” he said.
He dropped back. He had time. The Browns’ safeties were playing soft. And just as he expected rookie receiver Garrett Wilson slipped into an open patch of green. Flacco hit him in stride, on the numbers. Wilson did the rest.
“It was the exact look we expected,” said Garett, the former Ohio State Buckeye, who left 22 tickets for family members — maybe the only 22 people uttering a sound at FirstEnergy as he crossed the goal line. Great things have been forecast for Wilson; he was eight catches and 102 yards and two TDs worth of great Sunday.
Flacco? The QB his teammates call “Grandpa” had 307 yards and four TDs.
“He’s seen the worst of times,” Saleh said, “and the best of times.”
These were the best of times, on so many levels, in so many ways, for this edition of the Jets. Were they handed a couple of gifts? They were. But they also seized the moment when the Browns insisted they do so. The first lead of the season came with 22 seconds to go in the game, and it allowed them to savor a September victory for the first time in 1,470 days.
“The guys kept believing and doing their jobs,” Flacco said, “and sometimes if you just worry about what’s in front of you, the outcome is what it is.”
If you are a Jets fan with some service time, you maybe wake up Monday morning still in the throes of disbelief. Games like this do happen. Too often they happen in reverse. Not this one. Not this time. This time, the Jets cashed the lottery ticket. Sonofagun.

It takes a lot to break the internet these days, but announcing the reunion of the original High School Musical cast is a pretty good start.
That’s (sort of) what happened last week at Disney’s D23 Convention, where it was revealed that the upcoming fourth season of Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series will feature a storyline where High School Musical 4: The Reunion is being filmed at the real East High, and the show’s characters will all be cast as extras.
The specifics of which actors from the original Disney Channel franchise will return to film this movie-within-a-show remain unclear, but it’s safe to assume that Corbin Bleu — who already recurred in Season 3 as an exaggerated version of himself — is game to play.
“Corbin had such a good time this season, he said, ‘If you ever want me to come back, just know this has been so much fun,'” HSM:TM:TS showrunner Tim Federle tells TVLine. “So that sort of inspired me to think, ‘What if our kids went back to school and had to be extras in a movie?’ Our show is so absurdly meta, it’s just going to turn into Inception one day. We’re really excited.”
But let’s clear up one false assumption right now: Despite Zac Efron (on July 22) and Vanessa Hudgens (June 26) both posting pictures of themselves at the real East High, the photos were not taken for this.
“I’m going to chalk that up to being a remarkable coincidence, but we’d love to get Zac and Vanessa and all of them back, so we’re actively working on that right now,” Federle says.
Which original Wildcats do you hope to see in Season 4 of HSM:TM:TS? Drop a comment below with your thoughts on the show’s most meta twist.

- New partnership with NCS Group further expands reach of leading PAM solutions to government and commercial organizations in Asia Pacific
- NCS's collaboration with BeyondTrust will empower APAC organizations with stronger cybersecurity postures and a simplified path to a Zero Trust security framework
SINGAPORE, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BeyondTrust, the leader in intelligent identity and access security, announced today a new strategic partnership with NCS Group, a leading technology services firm that provides services and solutions in consulting, digital, technology, cybersecurity and more. A strong player in identity security, NCS will be using the technology provided by BeyondTrust to offer companies best practice solutions in Privileged Access Management (PAM), a core component of enabling Zero Trust security.
Organisations today are evolving as a result of digital transformation, an accelerating shift to cloud, and an expanded remote workforce. However, these changes are also creating an increase in vulnerable endpoints and remote access, as well as a large number of digital identities that pose a significant cybersecurity risk if left unmanaged and unsecured. According to Gartner, unauthorised privileged access is now the primary method that threat attackers use to infiltrate an organisation's systems and network.
"From the rise of ransomware to an increased focus on digital transformation and Zero Trust strategies, it is a critical time for organisations to be equipped with solutions that can secure identities, safeguard access for remote employees, and strengthen endpoint security across hybrid environments," said Ben Wong, Director of Channel and Alliance for Asia Pacific & Japan at BeyondTrust. "Through this partnership, BeyondTrust and NCS will enable organisations in Asia Pacific with our Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions to address these cybersecurity challenges."
"When organisations think of access management, they may only think of traditional password management – and that should not be the case. There is an urgent need for organisations to implement more advanced endpoint security and access management solutions and many are still playing catch up in this area," said Mr. Wong. "This partnership with NCS enables us to provide tailored PAM solutions to customers across a wide range of industries from government to the commercial sectors. Combining the skills and experience of NCS with BeyondTrust's leading portfolio of PAM solutions will help their customers defend against the evolving threat landscape."
BeyondTrust is a leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for PAM for the fourth year running, with a comprehensive PAM portfolio that enables identity and access security that is monitored, managed, secured, and just-in-time, and includes these solutions::
- Privileged Password Management
- Secure Remote Access
- Endpoint Privilege Management
- Cloud Security Management

Bozeman judge blocks laws banning transgender women in school sports
Ashley Nervbovig
BOZEMAN (KPAX) — A judge in Gallatin County put a permanent block Friday on three laws passed by the 2021 Legislature, which including a law to prevent transgender women from participating in school athletics.
The three bills, House Bill 112, House Bill 349 and Senate Bill 319, concerned school policies, including programs at the Montana University System.
The bills respectively; banned transgender women from participating in school athletics, limited discipline for speech and dictated whether student groups received university recognition, and would have affected funding for MontPirg, which is a student-directed non-partisan public advocacy group operated out of the University of Montana for more than 40 years.
The Montana State Constitution gives full power to the Board of Regents to govern the university system, and Gallatin County District Court Judge Rienne H. McElyea wrote in a summary judgement that the laws amounted “to an impermissible attempt ‘to exercise control of the MUS by legislative enactment.’”
On the issue of transgender athletes, McElyea said the Montana University System opposed the bill during the session because MUS must comply with the NCAA and the law could affect the school's standing with the national organization and limit eligibility for MUS to participate in interstate competition and host post-season events.
The law was an overstep of the Legislature, McElyea said, because the Board of Regents are the ones with the authority to ensure "the eligibility of Montana athletes and to protect MUS's substantial financial investment in its athletics program."

DENVER | Russell Wilson overcame a slow start and a cascade of boos in his Denver debut Sunday to lead the bungling Broncos past the Houston Texans 16-9 for rookie coach Nathaniel Hackett’s first NFL win.
For much of the day, it was just as unsightly as Wilson’s return to Seattle six days earlier, replete with a hostile crowd, problematic play calls, red zone quicksand and a profusion of head-scratching penalties.
“All I really care about is the cheers at the end,” Wilson said, “because we won.”
The Broncos (1-1) were flagged 13 times for 100 yards, giving them 25 penalties on the year, their most ever in back-to-back games.
But they pulled it out on defense, holding Houston (0-1-1) to a trio of field goals by Ka’imi Fairbairn.
After completing just six of his first 20 throws, Wilson went 4-for-4 on the Broncos’ go-ahead scoring drive that featured a 35-yard strike to a wide-open Courtland Sutton and a 22-yard payoff to tight end Eric Saubert that put Denver ahead 13-9 early in the fourth quarter.
“We’re of the ‘always improving’ mindset,” Saubert said. “So, we’re going to keep getting better every single week. It’s scary what we can do. You know, we get rid of those penalties, we execute in the end zone, we’ll be a really good team.”
Wilson finished 14 of 31 for 219 yards with one TD and an interception. He followed up his only TD throw with a clock-chewing drive that ended with Brandon McManus’ 50-yard field goal with 3:41 remaining for the final margin.
“We have a lot of faith in No. 3,” said Denver defensive Dre’Mont Jones, who had a pair of sacks. “That’s why he makes $250 million.”
Davis Mills had the Texans on the move when Randy Gregory registered his first sack for the Broncos just before the two-minute mark to help stall Houston’s bid to tie it.
The Texans came in as 10-point underdogs but made the Broncos and their crowd sweat out the possibility of an 0-2 start under Hackett, who had a number of problematic play calls a week after drawing widespread ridicule for taking the ball out of Wilson’s hands and attempting a 64-yard field goal in the final minute of a 17-16 loss at Seattle.
Six days after getting mercilessly booed in his return to Lumen Field, Wilson heard the boo-birds at home when he completed 6 of 19 passes in the first half that ended in a 6-6 tie and again when he threw an interception on his first toss of the second half.
Wilson got a huge ovation when he ran out of the tunnel and through the smoke, but the love didn’t last long as a series of dropped passes and misfires stoked the crowd.
On one of Wilson’s incompletions, the Broncos lost wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to a rib injury that the team initially said was an injured right shoulder. It’s the second straight September that Jeudy has gotten hurt; he missed two months last season after spraining an ankle in the opener.
The Broncos also lost star cornerback Patrick Surtain II to a shoulder injury and he was replaced by rookie Damarri Mathis, who had five tackles and broke up a pass.
RED-FACED RED ZONE
After going 0-for-4 in the red zone at Seattle on Monday night, the Broncos twice drove inside their opponent’s 5-yard line in the first half only to come away with field goals.
In the first quarter, Wilson had three incompletions from the Texans 2, including one where Sutton failed to get his left foot down inbounds.
Just before halftime, Wilson threw incomplete to Javonte Williams at the goal line from the 5 when it appeared he could have run it into the end zone himself. Then, after Williams bullied his way to the 1, Wilson lined up in the shotgun and had to throw the ball away, bringing McManus on again for a 24-yarder that tied it with 20 seconds left.
“The reality is we have to play better,” Wilson said.
Fairbairn’s 24-yarder put the Texans up 9-6 after linebacker Christian Kirksey wrested the ball from Sutton at the Denver 45-yard line on the second play of the second half.
FLAGS FLYING
The Broncos’ infractions included a pair of delay-of-game penalties on field-goal attempts. Their four delay penalties so far are twice as many as they had all of last season.
Denver also was whistled for too many men on the field. And the Broncos had to call timeout when they had too few players on a punt — and that missing man was rookie punt returner Montrell Washington.
LAMENTING THE LOSS
“We’ve got to get better at finishing games,” Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil said after Houston failed to do so for the second straight week. “Once we do that, we’ll be a great team.”
Texans running back Dameon Pierce said it’s just a matter of sustaining the strong starts: “We were playing at the level about what we need to play, but we just couldn’t pull that rabbit out the hat in the end.”
Unlike Wilson and the Broncos.
INJURIES
Houston LB Kevin Pierre-Lewis (groin) left in the third quarter and DB Derek Stingley Jr. left with an unspecified injury. Hackett had no postgame updates on Jeudy or Surtain.
UP NEXT
The Texans visit Chicago on Sunday.
The Broncos host the 49ers on Sunday night.

THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN PLAY ★★½
Old Fitz Theatre, September 18 (until October 8)
You can tell Kim Ho had fun writing this. At one point the playwright appears on a screen, admonishing the screenwriting characters to stay well away from the story they are attempting to pen.
It would be easy to say they should have heeded this advice but there’s the slightest hint of the charm of Luigi Pirandello at work, even if it’s not enough to save the play.
Mythology obsessed, the piece centres on Harold Lasseter, who supposedly discovered a major gold deposit near Alice Springs more than a century ago. It begins with Lasseter, played by Kurt Pimblett, delivering a long (and compelling) monologue, before Ho cuts to the modern day: five writers, working for a new streaming service, are ineffectually brainstorming how to tell Lasseter’s tale, with a deadline rushing at them like a black train on a blacker night.
So far, we’re following it, even if the lampooning of the inept and fallow writing sessions misses much of the humour on offer. In Act Two, however, all bets of following a narrative are off. It becomes an oneiric, satirised melodrama about Lasseter’s family awaiting the gold-digger’s return, with the actors still occasionally voicing thoughts of their scriptwriting characters as if the latter have gone loopy in their desperation to write the series.
Sequences are mysteriously repeated and characters comment on being trapped in the play, or ask each other to stop speaking in riddles. Meanwhile the production becomes more dreamlike, with reverb-treated voices, heroically over-the-top music and other oddities, as though someone dropped LSD before tearing into the second half.
Personally, I rather like being lost, whether in real life or when engaging with bizarre comedy dramas. But as clever, well-written and amusing as this sometimes is, it flits between ideas without ever properly landing on them, so you can’t immerse yourself in it. You only intermittently connect with it, and the play certainly never sinks its claws into you or envelops you in its tentacles.
The adventurous Saro Lusty-Cavallari has directed it for Red Line Productions. Actors Lucinda Howes, Rachel Seeto, Idam Sondhi, May Tran and Pimblett play it with complete commitment, even if they must have sometimes wondered what they’d got themselves into. Now, like their characters, they’re trapped in the play for the season.

Major League Soccer said it will look into a claim that D.C. United player Taxi Fountas used a racial slur against Inter Miami defender Damion Lowe during the second half of the team’s match on Sunday night.
Inter Miami won the road match 3-2 to give its playoff hopes a major boost, with Gonzalo Higuain getting the deciding goal off an assist from DeAndre Yedlin in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
But the mood was somber afterwards, with Inter Miami (12-13-6) players revealing that they were ready to walk off the field during the match if something was not done about what they believe Fountas said.
“It was a racist comment,” Inter Miami coach Phil Neville said. “It was unacceptable. A word was used. I think it’s unacceptable in society. A word was used, I think, the worst word in the world. And that’s it, really.”
Fountas and Lowe, who is Black, both received yellow cards in the 62nd minute after exchanging words. That all happened shortly after Fountas scored to tie the game at 2-2.
Inter Miami players gathered and after a period of conversation that lasted several minutes, Neville spoke with Wayne Rooney, his D.C. United counterpart. Rooney took Fountas out of the game, and play resumed.
“There was a complaint, which I’m sure will get investigated. Not much more I can say,” Rooney told reporters.
Yedlin said he has been outspoken about how there’s no place for racism in soccer throughout his career. He said Fountas used the slur as Lowe was walking away from their dust-up.
“If nothing was done, we weren’t going to continue,” Yedlin said.
Once Fountas was taken off, the game went on, but there was no celebration after.
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t even feel like a win because of that incredibly dark moment,” Yedlin said. “So now, we’ll see what MLS does about it. My eyes will be on that a lot, to see what kind of action they take, because it’s now up to them to take action and make a stand and show this not only has no place in the game but no place in society.”
MLS released a statement postgame saying an investigation “into this matter will begin promptly.”
“MLS has zero tolerance for abusive and offensive language, and we take these allegations very seriously,” the league said.
Miami also got two goals from Leonardo Campana.
Christian Benteke also scored for United (7-19-6). United outshot Miami 17-8, but each team had five shots on goal.
Drake Callender saved three of the five shots he faced for Miami. David Ochoa saved two of the five shots he faced for United.
Miami next plays on Friday against Toronto on the road, and United will visit CF Montreal on Saturday.

Souls-like titles have become one of the most popular sub-genres of action role-playing video games.
Ever since FromSoftware, a developer known for pioneering souls-like games, released the original Dark Souls in 2010, players have been enamored by the challenging yet satisfying nature of the sub-genre.
Several developers have tried to replicate the excellence of the Souls games created by FromSoftware, to varying degrees of success.
Over the years, a number of games have been released that borrow elements from FromSoftware's creations. These elements include a hit-box-based combat system, interconnected level design, challenging boss encounters, and cryptic storytelling.
Here are seven upcoming souls-like games that players just can't wait to experience.
Note: This article is subjective and solely reflects the opinions of the writer
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and 5 other upcoming souls-like games that players can't wait to play
1) Lies of P
Like the recently released Thymesia from OverBorder Studio and Team17, Lies of P is an indie game that takes obvious inspiration from FromSoftware's Bloodborne and other souls-like titles. The story is inspired by the famous tale of Pinocchio, the wooden doll that turns into a real boy.
Players take on the role of a mechanized humanoid, aptly named Pinocchio, as they explore a dark Belle Epoque world filled with numerous dangers. The combat seems extremely similar to Bloodborne's, with fast-paced combos and an overall aggressive tone. There are even weapons that somewhat resemble the iconic transforming weapons of Bloodborne.
Lies of P is yet to receive a concrete release date. However, after the title's recent showcase during Gamescom 2022, players are really excited about the unique souls-like experience it has to offer.
2) Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja's Nioh series is one of the best implementations of the traditional souls-like formula.
The Nioh games felt like a perfect mix of Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden games and FromSoftware's Souls titles. They featured some really fascinating gameplay and narrative elements.
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Team Ninja has perfected something they began with Nioh, developed with Nioh 2, and now perfected with their upcoming dark fantasy action RPG.
The game was recently showcased in its full glory on Xbox's TGS 2022 Panel. It employs a similar combat system to that of Nioh 2, but with a bit more flair.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is set to be released in early 2023, but no concrete launch date has been announced as of writing.
3) Soulstice
Soulstice is a unique action game where players take on the role of not one but two protagonists simultaneously. They have to battle through waves of increasingly difficult enemies and some really gnarly bosses.
The combat in Soulstice is more akin to Capcom's Devil May Cry games and FromSoftware's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, with quick, fluid combos and flashy special attacks.
Players explore the game's dark world from the perspective of two sisters, Briar and Lute, who are bound to each other's souls. The combat in Soulstice is all about synergy between the two sisters.
Players primarily control Briar, who wields a massive sword. However, at any point during combat, they can switch over to Lute, who harnesses magical abilities, granting supernatural powers to decimate enemies on the battlefield.
Soulstice comes out on September 20, 2022, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.
4) Hollow Knight: Silksong
Hollow Knight is easily one of the most beloved indie souls-like game out there. Fans love everything about it, from its tight and responsive combat to its spectacular boss fights. The game boasts some really fun levels for players to explore, filled with hidden secrets and enemy encounters.
Recently, Team Cherry finally gave fans a first look at its upcoming sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, during this year's Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase.
In Hollow Knight: Silksong, players will take on the role of Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest. They will embark on an adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song.
While Silksong is yet to get a concrete release date, it is slated to come out in 2023.
5) Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Respawn's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is easily one of the most surprising games published by Electronic Arts.
Free from any of the predatory microtransactions and loot boxes the publisher is known for, the single-player Star Wars title was a breath of fresh air for fans of the franchise.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was not only a single-player action game, but it also took inspiration from FromSoftware's souls-like formula. It used a similar progression and level design, with some really challenging boss encounters to top it all off.
Naturally, fans were more than excited about the announcement of its sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The game is set five years after the events of the first title and will continue the story of Cal Kestis.
While there isn't a confirmed release date for the game, fans are expecting Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to release sometime in 2023.
6) Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
Developed by A44 Games, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an open-world action RPG featuring a combat system that is heavily inspired by FromSoftware's souls-like titles. The game is set in a mystical land where old gods have been awoken and are at war with mankind.
Players take on the role of a warrior who is accompanied by a furry little creature that is gifted with magical abilities. Players can use these abilities while fighting the undead monsters and even the gods themselves. The combat system is fast-paced, with quick and flashy combos that players can experiment with to keep every encounter feeling fresh.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is set to be released in early 2023. It will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
7) Black Myth: Wukong
Developed by Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong is an action-adventure title based on the legendary Chinese novel, Journey to the West.
The game basically brings the Eastern fantasy to life for gamers around the world, complete with iconic characters, a thought-provoking story, and unparalleled visual fidelity.
The souls-like inspiration is on display during the game's many spectacular combat scenarios, including some epic boss battles showcased in recent trailers.
Black Myth: Wukong is yet to receive a confirmed release date but is scheduled to come out in 2023.

Zelenskyy promises no 'lull' in taking back Ukrainian towns
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised his country there would be no letup in the counteroffensive that has reclaimed towns and cities from Russian troops, as shelling continued Sunday across a wide stretch of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy ran through a list of towns that Ukraine has taken back in its lightning push across the northeast.
“Maybe now it seems to some of you that after a series of victories we have a certain lull," he said in his nightly video address. "But this is not a lull. This is preparation for the next series... Because Ukraine must be free — all of it.”
Ukraine’s military command said its forces secured the eastern bank of the Oskil River on Saturday. The river, which flows south from Russia into Ukraine, had been a natural break in the newly emerged front lines since Kyiv's counteroffensive began.
As Russian shells hit towns and cities over the weekend, the British defence ministry warned that Moscow is likely to increase attacks on civilian targets as it suffers battlefield defeats.
“In the last seven days, Russia has increased its targeting of civilian infrastructure even where it probably perceives no immediate military effect,” the ministry said in an online briefing. “As it faces setbacks on the front lines, Russia has likely extended the locations it is prepared to strike in an attempt to directly undermine the morale of the Ukrainian people and government.”
Russian fire killed four medics attempting to evacuate a psychiatric hospital in the Kharkiv region on Saturday, said governor Oleh Syniehubov. Two patients were wounded in the attack in Strelecha, he said.
Overnight shelling also hit a hospital in Mykolaiv, a significant Black Sea port, regional governor Vitaliy Kim said. And five people had died over the past day in Russian attacks in the Donetsk region, one of two Ukrainian regions that Russia recognizes as sovereign states, governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
The separatist forces that control much of Donetsk said Ukrainian shelling of a prisoner-of-war colony in Olenivka killed one prisoner and injured four. More than 50 POWs were reported killed in a July attack on the Olenivka prison; Russian and Ukrainian authorities blame each other.
A Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said Russian forces in Donetsk continue to conduct “meaningless operations” on villages as opposed to reinforcing the front line.
A top Vatican envoy and his entourage came under fire as they were distributing humanitarian supplies in Ukraine, the Vatican news service said on Sunday. It reported no injuries.
The incident took place near the city of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, and forced Vatican Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski and others to take cover.
“For the first time in my life, I didn’t know where to run. Because it is not enough to run, you have to know where to go,” said the Polish-born cardinal, whose office makes charitable contributions in the pope's name.
Three people were wounded in nighttime shelling of Nikopol, across the river from Europe’s largest nuclear power station, said regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko. The six-reactor Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was captured by Russian forces in March, but is operated by Ukrainian engineers. Its last reactor was switched off a week ago after repeated power failures because shelling put crucial safety systems at risk.
Meanwhile, prosecutors in Kharkiv are accusing Russia of torturing civilians in one village that was recently freed. In an online statement, they said they found a basement where Russian forces allegedly tortured prisoners in Kozacha Lopan, near the border with Russia.
In images they released, they showed a Russian military TA-57 telephone with additional wires and alligator clips attached to it. Ukrainian officials have accused Russian forces of using the Soviet-era radio telephones as a power source to shock prisoners during interrogation. It was not immediately possible to verify the Ukrainians' claims.

The Herm Edwards era is finally over in Tempe. The main question: What took so long?
The decision to fire Edwards was made Sunday afternoon. Sun Devil insider Chris Karpman of Sun Devil Source, the ASU 247Sports site, broke the story, which was later confirmed by Pete Thamel of ESPN and others.
Buy Trojans TicketsThis is a lot like the USC situation a year ago — not in some ways, but certainly in one basic respect: Fans wondered why the coach wasn’t fired at the end of the previous season. The Arizona State program, much like USC after the 2020 season, was going nowhere. The football operation was adrift, the coach did not inspire confidence. Fans were apathetic about the program in its current state. They were not packing the stadium as a point of principle: Why give money to the athletic department when dollars were not being used well?
Everyone could see that a coaching change was necessary, but it wasn’t made in the offseason. Then the new football season started horribly, and after a few weeks, the decision was made. That is a clear parallel with USC and Clay Helton one year ago. This also mirrors what happened at Nebraska with Scott Frost.
BREAKING: Herm Edwards is out as ASU's head football coach per two people familiar with the decision.
ASU staff member were told within the last hour that Edwards would no longer be the team's coach.
Interim head coaching plans are not clear as yet.
— Chris Karpman (@ChrisKarpman) September 18, 2022
We will have much more on this story, since we’re a Pac-12 site for two more years. (Wink, wink.)

Nigerian youths have been advised to actively participate in next year’s general elections.
The Country Director, MacArthur Foundation, Kole Shettima gave the advice while delivering a keynote address at the opening of a two-day Lead on Conference 2022 organised by the Mandela Washington Fellowship Alumni Association of Nigeria (MWFAAN) in Abuja.
Shettima said the foundation was committed to working in partnership with Nigeria towards the success of the 2023 general elections.
According to him, the organisation has been working with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to make elections credible.

He also said the foundation engaged young people to register, collect their Permanent Voter Cards and come out and vote on the day of election.
Shettima said the foundation, since 1989, had invested not less than $200 million dollars in Nigeria.
He advised the government, philanthropists and developmental organisations to invest more in education, health care systems to slow down the country’s fertility rate as well as create economic opportunities for the youth.
President of the association, Ahmed Adetola-Kazeem, said the Mandela Washington Fellowship (MWF), established by the former United States President, Barack Obama in 2014, had the potential to impact on the unity and development of Nigeria.
He said the fellowship provided outstanding young leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa with the opportunity to hone their skills at a U.S. higher education institution with support for professional development after they return home.

Packers use running game and defense to get back on track with win over Bears
Despite an opening-week loss there was no real reason to worry about the Green Bay Packers, especially considering the Chicago Bears were coming to town. They just needed to settle into what they do best.
This season, the Packers' preferred method is probably not Aaron Rodgers throwing it all around the place. It's Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon running the ball and a talented defense flying around and hitting hard. And the back-to-back NFL MVP will make plays when he has to.
The Packers started a bit slow but once Jones and Dillon started picking up yards in chunks, the Bears were in trouble. The Packers didn't do much in the second half but still held on to a decisive 27-10 win.
The Packers lost 23-7 in Week 1 to the Minnesota Vikings. Maybe that was just a tough assignment for the Packers in the opener, or we'll find out the Vikings are much better than anticipated. But we saw on Sunday night that the Packers aren't going anywhere.
Packers dominate first half
The Bears did start fast, driving right downfield after a Packers field goal to start the game. Justin Fields ran in for a touchdown. The Bears led 7-3 and the NBC booth was trying hard to convince everyone the Bears had a shot to pull off the upset.
The Packers took over the rest of the half. Their last four drives of the first half resulted in three touchdowns and a punt. It wasn't just that the Packers beat an inferior Bears team. It was a look at how the Packers want to win this season.
Jones went over 100 yards early in the third quarter and finished with 132. He scored twice. Dillon had 61 yards on 18 runs. Not many teams would want balance if they had a quarterback like Rodgers, but this is how Green Bay built its roster.
Rodgers is still fantastic, even with a set of young receivers that seems to frustrate him. He threw a touchdown to Allen Lazard to give the Packers a 24-7 lead just before halftime. Rodgers was efficient, with 234 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The offense slowed down after halftime. There were some sloppy mistakes. It seemed like a case of the Packers letting up after taking a huge halftime lead, with the Bears not being much of a threat to upset them.
Green Bay defense holds on to the win
The Packers defense didn't have a good day last week against the Vikings. Justin Jefferson was running free in their secondary too often, and Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander wondered aloud why he wasn't shadowing Jefferson.
There's too much talent on the Packers defense for them to look bad very often this season. Once the Packers took back the lead, the defense started playing fast. Their pass rushers got good pressure on Fields. Bears receivers were hit as soon as they caught the ball. Chicago scored on its first drive, and had 10 yards total on its next five drives.
The second half was a bit more sloppy. A fumbled handoff to Dillon deep in Bears territory helped keep the game from getting entirely out of hand. No lead in the NFL was safe on Sunday, and the Bears made it briefly interesting in the fourth quarter. They trailed 24-10 and drove to the Packers' 1-yard line, but inexplicably called a quarterback run from the shotgun formation instead of having Fields line up under center and sneak it. Fields predictably was stopped short and the game was all but over.
The Packers get a better test next week when they play at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They won't be able to take the second half off and beat the Buccaneers, but we know their preferred formula to win that game.

LONDON (AP) — American presidents usually make a splash when they travel abroad, holding the spotlight and quickly becoming the center of attention.
Not this time.
For U.S. President Joe Biden and other presidents, prime ministers and dignitaries, there were no red-carpet arrivals, no big speeches and no news conferences as they gathered for Monday's state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, world leaders used to people hanging on their every word checked their egos in the service of honoring the queen, Britain's longest-serving monarch, who died earlier this month at age 96 after 70 years on the throne.
“They know that they are there to honor the passing, honor the individual,” said Capricia Marshall, who was the U.S. State Department's protocol chief for a period during Barack Obama's administration. “They also are aware that they're representing their country.”
The protocol office is a key player in U.S. foreign policy and diplomatic affairs by working to make sure that U.S. officials don't say or do anything that will offend a foreign visitor or host.
The president and first lady are among some 2,000 people attending the funeral at Westminster Abbey. They arrived late Saturday and were met at the airport by the U.S. ambassador and a few other officials. The couple paid respects to the queen on Sunday, viewing her coffin at Westminster Hall, signing condolence books at Lancaster House and attending a Buckingham Palace reception for funeral guests hosted by King Charles III.
But the president's public appearances in London have been limited and controlled, part of the choreography around the elaborate farewell to the only monarch most Brits have ever known. He spoke only for just a few minutes Sunday about the queen, as he recalled how the woman he said reminded him of his mother kept feeding him crumpets when they had tea together last year at Windsor Castle.
When Biden spoke to the BBC, the only outlet broadcasting live as he signed the condolence book, the network kept up a split screen with Sir David Manning, a former British ambassador to the U.S., and did not air Biden’s comments live.
Most other leaders in town have kept similarly low profiles, appearing so far only to sign the official book of condolence and silently pay respects beside the queen’s coffin in Westminster Hall.
A few have given interviews to share memories of Elizabeth, including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who told the BBC about the advice the queen gave her on balancing work and motherhood: “I remember she just said, ‘Well, you just get on with it,’ and that was actually probably the best and most I think factual advice I could have."
Leaders like Ardern and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have batted away questions about whether their countries are likely to become republics, saying now is not the time to discuss it. Both countries have the queen as their monarch.
An exception was Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro, who is running for reelection and delivered an open-air campaign speech Sunday outside his country's embassy in London. Bolsonaro, who trails former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in opinion polls, insisted to about 200 supporters that the polls were wrong and that he could avoid entering a runoff on Oct. 2.
Biden and new U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss scrapped a weekend meeting, instead setting a full gathering at the U.N. General Assembly next week, and the White House didn't even announce news of the meeting until after British officials had.
One senior U.S. official said Biden's lower profile was less about protocol and more about the fact that “it's not our show. It's the Brits' show.”
“We have to be sensitive to that and I think that means a kind of a different perspective as it relates to our movements, our footprint, what we do, how we do it,” said the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Peter Selfridge, another former U.S. official, said Biden is here “to grieve" and likely does not care that he has largely been out of the spotlight. Selfridge noted the president's history of personal loss, including the death of his first wife and infant daughter and, later, an adult son.
“As a matter of fact, that's probably the way he wants it,” said Selfridge, the U.S. chief of protocol during Obama's second term.
Then again, some people's wiring doesn't allow them to avoid making a beeline for the first camera they see, said Eric Dezenhall, a crisis management expert.
But Dezenhall said in an email that the “good news is that most American presidents ... understand that humility is called for at certain times."

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is victim of climate change produced by the heavily industrialised countries and paying a horrendous price of over US$30bn for the intransigence of others.
It was stated by Coordinator to Federal Tax Ombudsman Meher Kashif Younis while talking to a delegation of Environmentalists led by Prof Dr Sajid Rashid Ahmad Arain, Principal Earth and Environmental Sciences Punjab University in Lahore on Sunday.
He said even Prime Minister of Fiji Frank Bainimarama admitted on his tweet while responding to a question on situation in Pakistan he said “Let be clear: Pakistani people did not do this to Pakistan-we all did, and highly emitting nations are most responsible.
Unless we end our species addiction to fossil fuels, every country in the will remain in the crosshairs of climate breakdown”, Mr Frank concluded. He said the UN Secretary General after visit of flood hit areas said”.
He had never seen climate related destruction on such a scale and I’m asking for Justice as it is a global crisis which demands a global response”.
He said according to UN estimate Pakistan contributes less than one percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and is yet 8th on the list of countries most vulnerable to severe weather caused by climate change.
He said Pakistan floods are a big wake-up call.
He said our survival and that of our future generations will indeed depend upon our response today.
He said climate change has surfaced as a threat more dangerous than terrorism.
Meher Kashif said what we need to do urgently is to boost agriculture production by using hi-tech hybrid seeds, construction of dams and water reservoirs, rehabilitation of flood affected people and restoration of infrastructure and active involvement of philanthropists for assistance of flood affected people marooned people besides drawing future line of action to avert such large scale disasters plunging the country in a state of quagmire.
He said severe heat and drought have continued to sweep across most parts of northern hemisphere.
He said human caused climate change made the event at least 10 times more likely.
He said this drought, which is further disrupting supply chains and pushing up food and energy prices, once again reminds us of the urgency in working together to tackle climate change.
Meanwhile, many European countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands and Denmark have been quietly restarting coal- fired power, embarking on a “shift back” to ramp up carbon emissions, a set-back in terms of joint efforts in reducing emissions on a global scale, Meher Kashif concluded.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cooper Rush had no choice but to smile as he embraced offensive coordinator Kellen Moore after the winning kick for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dak Prescott’s backup now has a 2-0 career record filling in, with winning drives on his final possession both times. That was enough to let the emotion flow for the normally stoic Rush, at least for a few moments.
“It’s actually exciting to see him be excited after he won a game,” coach Mike McCarthy after a 20-17 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday. “To get a charge out of it because he is so, so consistent.”
Rush led the drive to Brett Maher’s 50-yard field goal as time expired, and the Cowboys held on after losing a two-touchdown halftime lead.
Joe Burrow got the defending AFC champion Bengals even at 17-17 by leading a 19-play, 83-yard drive in the fourth quarter, throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins and finding Tyler Boyd for the 2-point conversion.
Cincinnati (0-2) erased the same 17-3 deficit in the opener against Pittsburgh, only to miss two chances to win on a PAT kick in the final seconds of regulation and a short field goal in overtime of the 23-20 loss.
Now the Bengals are the first defending AFC champion to start 0-2 since 1999, when Denver was coming off consecutive Super Bowl victories and started 0-4 after John Elway retired.
“You just can’t let it affect you,” said defensive end Sam Hubbard, who had the only sack of Rush. “People look to you and your demeanor, how you handle yourself and all you can do is go back to work. And I’m excited to get back to work.”
After the Cowboys stopped the Bengals with about a minute remaining, Rush got the defending NFC East champs in range for Maher. This after his only previous NFL start last year, when the sixth-year pro threw the go-ahead touchdown pass in the final minute of a 20-16 win at Minnesota.
Rush got the winning drive going with a 12-yard completion to Noah Brown, who had his first NFL touchdown on the opening drive and finished with a career-high 91 yards receiving. A 10-yarder to CeeDee Lamb put the Cowboys (1-1) in range for Maher, who kicked a 54-yarder in the first half.
“I felt like I put a good stroke on it to see it go in,” said Maher, a former Dallas kicker who rejoined the club late in training camp when both kickers competing for the job flopped. “It was just mayhem, to be honest with you.”
Prescott, who wore a headset with a long-sleeve shirt and frequently implored the crowd to make noise, just missed the one start last season with a strained calf. He will be out multiple games this time with a fracture near his right thumb.
Rush directed 75-yard touchdown drives on the first two possessions for Dallas after the Cowboys went without a TD in the opener against Tampa Bay. The Cowboys didn’t find the end zone again, but didn’t need to on the final possession after Trevon Diggs stopped Boyd 2 yards short on third-and-3, forcing a punt with 1:09 remaining.
“It got a little choppy, kinda got out of rhythm there in the third,” said Rush, who was 19 of 31 for 235 yards with a touchdown. “You just keep playing. When you’re out there, that’s all you’re really thinking about is next play, next play, next play.”
The Cowboys sacked Burrow six times in the first three quarters after he went down seven times in the opener against the Steelers. But the revamped offensive line protected him well enough to help the Bengals get even.
On the tying drive that consumed nearly nine minutes, Burrow converted a fourth-and-6 with a completion to Ja’Marr Chase after three third-down conversions.
“We’d like to start faster, but the defenses that we’re getting earlier are always different than the ones that are on the film,” said Burrow, who was 24 of 36 for 199 yards with a touchdown. “That probably plays a part in it, but we’ve just got to do a better job of adjusting faster.”
TRY, TRY AGAIN
Tony Pollard had a 46-yard catch on a shovel pass, taking the ball from behind the line of scrimmage to just inches shy of the goal line on a play that was originally ruled at touchdown. He got the short carry for a 14-3 Dallas lead in the first quarter.
TWO-FER SACKS
NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Micah Parsons had two sacks along with Dorance Armstrong for Dallas. Parsons has at least two sacks in five of the first 18 games of his career, joining Mark Anderson, Joey Bosa, Elvis Dumervil, Clay Matthews and Aldon Smith among players with five such games among their first 20.
INJURIES
Bengals TE Drew Sample was ruled out with a right knee injury after going down awkwardly on a tackle on a catch for a 4-yard loss in the second quarter. … WR Tee Higgins played after being listed as questionable with a concussion.
UP NEXT
Bengals: At the New York Jets next Sunday. Cincinnati has lost 10 of its past 11 road games against the Jets.
Cowboys: The defending NFC East champs play their first division opponent, visiting the New York Giants (2-0) on Sept. 26.

Let’s compare, Hillary versus Trump and their classified capers. Both Hillary and Trump had classified information at their homes, both appeared to break the law, but only one may end up legally punished. Which one did more damage to national security than the average enemy spy?
In the end, when assessing the damage caused by mishandling classified information, it comes down to exposure: Who saw it? What was seen? And when was it seen?
The "who" part is clear enough. A document left inadvertently on a desktop in an embassy guarded by Marines might be seen by locally hired cleaning staff. A document left on a park bench and seized by the local police risks direct exposure to the host country’s intelligence services, if not sale to the highest bidder.
The "what" is the real stuff of James Bond, and even actual spies. A lot of things are classified, many of which may be overclassified. The director of the National Security Archive at George Washington University estimates 70 percent of the documents he sees are overclassified; Donald Rumsfeld put it at 50 percent. Just because something is marked Top Secret does not mean the information there really is very secret, but it still might rightly be marked Confidential. It would take a knowledgeable person, looking at documents one-by-one, to conclude which seven of the ten were overclassified.
Other times, proper classification is in the eye of the beholder. The secretary of State's daily list of telephone calls to make is always highly classified. It might matter very little to a Russian spy that the secretary is calling the leader of Cyprus on Wednesday but matter an awful lot to the leader of nearby Greece. That is why intelligence services often horse-trade, buying and selling information they pick up along the way about other countries for information they need about theirs. One of the deepest intelligence operations against the State Department involved a European ally who, looking for information on a competitor, listened in on third-party U.S. diplomatic sites where the data was treated like spam.
The "when" aspect is also important, as many documents are correctly classified at one point in their history but lose value over time. One classic example is a convoy notification; it matters a great deal who knows that, tomorrow at midnight, the convoy will set forth from point A to point B. It matters a whole lot less a month later after the whole affair has come and gone and everybody in town saw the convoy arrive.
Finally, we have the unknown factor. Few countries actively harvesting intelligence are in the mood to tell anyone about it. In fact, just the opposite. Spies, even when caught, deny everything, such that one of counter-intelligence's main tasks after catching a bad guy is figuring out what he likely gained access to, and which documents or information he obtained.
Note the "or" there, because it is always information that is classified, not pieces of paper. Much damage can be done with a diplomat's hand-written meeting notes, unmarked by a classification such as Secret, while a document marked Secret might contain nothing worth keeping quiet. The marking on a document is only the drafter's best estimate of what the information on paper is worth. This makes it hard to judge the relative impact of one exposure versus another, but there are ways we can try.
Those are the ground rules. Now onto Hillary versus Trump.
We start the contest with raw number of documents potentially exposed. In Trump's case, we have a decent tally thanks to the Department of Justice. The initial batch of documents retrieved by the National Archives from Trump in January included more than 150 marked as classified. With the recent search raid, more were found. The federal government has recovered over 300 documents with classified markings from the former president since he left office.
This works out to over 700 pages of classified material and “special access program materials,” which is especially clandestine stuff that might include information on the source itself, the gold star of intelligence gathering. If you learn who the spy is inside your own organization, you can shoot him, arrest him, find other spies in his ring, or turn him into a double-agent to feed bogus information back to your adversary. To be clear, our contest is a bit unfair to Trump, as inventories of what was found at Mar-a-Lago are online for all to see.
In Hillary's case, coming to a raw number is very hard, as she destroyed her server before it could be placed into evidence and completely deleted (bleached) many, many emails. Because her stash were email files, the secret files were also not all in their original paper-cover folders boldly marked Top Secret with bright-yellow borders, as in Trump's case. Hillary also stripped the classification markings off many documents as she transferred them from the State Department's classified network to her own homebrew server setup. More on that later.
Nonetheless, according to the FBI, from the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 were determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information Top Secret at the time they were sent, with some labeled as “special access program materials.” Some 36 chains contained Secret information at the time, and eight contained Confidential information. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential. The information in those messages had not been classified at the time they were sent, suggesting they were drafts in progress, in the process of being edited before the ultimate classification assignment.
So, in simple terms based on the meager publicly available information, Trump wins the category for having the most raw material outside an officially secured facility.
In this contest, the "what" is a toss-up. Little information exists on the specific contents of each document trove, though the Washington Post claims one of Trump's documents detailed a foreign country's nuclear capability (ironically, the leak from DOJ that revealed the document's contents suggests things were more secure at Mar-a-Lago than they are now after the search) giving him a slight lead in this category. Clinton only discussed Top Secret CIA drone info and approved drone strikes via Blackberry.
But the real money-maker in the classified world is exposure, and here we finally have a clear leader. For all the noise around Mar-a-Lago, there is nothing to suggest what classified information Trump held was ever exposed; in fact, information available suggests the stuff left the White House to remain boxed up inside a storage room. We know that after classified was ID'd inside Mar-a-Lago by the National Archives, DOJ asked Trump to provide a better lock, which he did, and later to turn over surveillance tapes of the storage room, which he did.
But the clearest evidence of non-exposure is the lack of urgency on the part of all concerned to bust up Trump's classified caper. Claims he removed classified documents from the White House began circulating even as he moved out in January 2021. The first public evidence of classified information in Mar-a-Lago didn't come until January 2022 when the initial documents were seized, and the recent search warrant tailed that by months. If the FBI thought classified material was in imminent danger of being exposed to one of America's adversaries they might have acted with a bit more urgency.
Not so with Hillary. Her server was connected to the internet, meaning that for a moderately clever adversary there was literally only a wire between her computer, with its classified information, and the Kremlin. As the actual Secretary of State Hillary Clinton maintained an unsecured private email server which processed classified material on a daily basis. Her server held at least 110 known messages containing classified information, including e-mail chains classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level, the highest level of civilian classification, that included the names of CIA and NSA employees. The FBI found classified intelligence improperly stored and transmitted on Clinton’s server may have been “compromised by unauthorized individuals, to include foreign governments or intelligence services, via cyber intrusion or other means.” How could anyone have gained access to the credentials? Well, Clinton’s digital security certificate was issued by GoDaddy.

We have a winner. Whether anyone unauthorized got a look at Trump's stash remains unclear, but we know for near-certain Hillary's emails were compromised. And by compromised, we mean every email the secretary of State sent, wide open and read—an intelligence officer's dream. Hillary had no full-time physical security on her server, her server was enabled for logging-in via web browser, smartphone, Blackberry, and tablet, and she communicated with it on 19 trips abroad including to Russia and China. It would have taken the Russians almost no time at all to see she was using an unclassified server, and half a tick or two to hack into it. (Hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact.) Her drafts and documents in progress were extremely valuable to the enemy, giving them, a chance to look over Clinton's shoulder as she made policy.
The actual process Hillary used to move classified material to and from her server from the main State Department and other systems is unknown. If she transferred data the most likely and convenient way, via floppy disk or USB drive, then she likely compromised the State Department systems as well. Her system administrator for the home server was a State Department Civil Service employee she hired, suggesting a link between State computer hardware and the secretary's own. We'll never know, as no search warrant was exercised to seize the server and Hillary's word was taken when she said there was no chance of compromise.
In the end, all we can say about the real winner in this dubious contest is that some intelligence officer in Moscow or Beijing probably got promoted to colonel.

SAN FRANCISCO – The weather Sunday provided a bigger challenge for the Dodgers than the San Francisco Giants have this year.
With rain and wind rolling through Oracle Park in waves all afternoon, the Dodgers were not stayed from the not-so-swift completion of their appointed rounds, scoring twice in the 10th inning and holding on to beat the Giants 4-3 on a soggy day by the Bay.
Their 101st win of the season was the Dodgers’ 12th in their past 13 games against the Giants. They finished the season series with their ancient rivals, 15-4 – their second-most wins against the Giants in a single season (behind the 1940 team) and their best winning percentage (.789) against the Giants since they beat them 10 of 12 times (.833) in 1899.
“Obviously it’s a different year as far as the race,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, referring to the down-to-the-wire battle with the Giants for the division title a year ago. “We’ve remained steadfast in how we play and we’ve got a lot of good players. The results speak to that.
“It’s hard to beat any team like that, certainly a team in the division where there’s so much familiarity. It sort of levels the playing field somewhat in the division. So to see the success we had this year — it’s pretty rare.”
It’s hard to repeat the kind of magic tricks that fueled the Giants’ 107 wins last season. Everything seemed to go right for them a year ago. Not so much this year — like the two balls that bounced over the fence for ground-rule doubles Sunday, holding runners at third base.
“That saved us,” Freddie Freeman said. “Two of them. If those don’t go over the fence, we don’t win the game.”
A year ago, the Giants might have walked off the Dodgers on Joc Pederson’s three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. But this year, the wind knocked it down enough for Mookie Betts to make a long, running catch in the deepest part of the ballpark, turning it into a 396-foot fly out instead.
“I believe Joc’s would have been a homer if there was no wind or whatever,” Betts agreed.
LaMonte Wade Jr. also made a bid for walkoff magic when he pulled a long fly ball into the seats foul with the bases loaded in the 10th before Justin Bruihl got him to ground out, earning his first major-league save.
“Just really resilient,” Roberts said. “I love the way we competed this entire series. Last day of a 10-day road trip and you go extra innings but still scratch and claw, I can’t say enough about our guys.”
The retro-Candlestick tone for the day was struck on the first pitch of the game when Betts hit a line drive to right field. Heliot Ramos broke back on the ball — which the wind knocked down for a single well in front of him.
The first half of the game was played in the persistent rain but interrupted just once.
A downpour prompted the umpiring crew to stop the game with two outs in the fourth inning. The grounds crew unrolled the tarp in left field – and rolled it back up about 20 minutes later, the rain having relented while they worked on the field.
“The field started getting mushy pretty quickly,” Freeman said. “I heard third base was pretty bad because some water seeped under it. … The rain itself was not too bad. But it just accumulated over those first four innings. I’m just glad we got it in.”
Dodgers starter Andrew Heaney was unhittable before the delay, retiring the first nine Giants in order (five on strikeouts). The Dodgers gave him a lead just before play was stopped, Freeman scoring from first base on Justin Turner’s latest double (he has a career-high 36 including eight this month).
When Heaney went back to the mound after the rain cleared up, he lost his momentum – and nearly lost the lead.
After Thairo Estrada’s leadoff single, Wilmer Flores lined a double into the left-center field gap. Estrada would have scored easily to tie the game but the ball bounced into the stands for a ground-rule double, stopping Estrada at third.
After walking JD Davis to load the bases, Heaney struck out Evan Longoria and Joey Bart to escape.
The 27-pitch effort that inning ended Heaney’s day. He struck out eight in four innings.
The Dodgers’ lead disappeared an inning later on a throwing error by Trea Turner. But the Dodgers went back on top in the sixth inning.
Giants center fielder Lewis Brinson slipped on his first step in center field, allowing Trea Turner’s line drive to drop for a leadoff double. Freeman slapped a single through the middle to drive him in with the go-ahead run.
Freeman has batted .390 (55 for 141) with runners in scoring position, driving in 71 runs in those situations.
But Alex Vesia couldn’t hold the lead in the eighth. He walked the first two batters of the inning, struck Joc Pederson out on three poor bunt attempts and got help from Cody Bellinger when he ran Flores’ drive down at the wall in straightaway center field.
Bellinger couldn’t get JD Davis’ drive into the gap, though, and the ground-rule double tied the game. It was the first run charged to Vesia in 19 1/3 innings since July 21.
Betts’ RBI double in the top of the 10th gave the Dodgers their third lead of the game. Three consecutive walks forced in a second run.
Roberts handed that lead to Andre Jackson, the seventh of the eight pitchers he would use in the game. Jackson gave up an RBI single to Flores, the long fly out to Pederson and walked two to load the bases for Bruihl.
“Nothing,” Betts said when asked what it meant to dominate the Giants this season. “It’s just 2022. It doesn’t mean anything at all. Next year could be a completely different thing.”

TSM offlaner Jonáš “SabeRLight-” Volek is one of the highest ranked players in the pro Dota 2 scene. He hit 10,000 MMR in June 2020 and climbed to 11,000 MMR seven months later, but still hadn’t reached his plateau.
That happened a year later in Feb. 2022 when SabeRLight- hit 12,000 MMR—a feat only five other pro players have been able to achieve. But as hard as it is to hit 12,000 MMR, it’s even harder to maintain.
The ebbs and flows of the ranked experience saw him drop back down, but not for long. On Sep. 18, he hit the milestone again and hyped everyone up with his speech.
“It was a good run. We got 12,000 MMR. It was pretty epic,” he said at the end of his stream. “I think we all had a tonne of fun and that’s what matters. I certainly did. I appreciate everybody here being with me. It was really cool.”
It was a lofty goal, but SabeRLight- said hitting it felt “fucking epic” and he couldn’t be more proud. Now he’s set himself an even bigger goal—winning The International 2022 with TSM.
“I need to go and practice for TI and then I need to go and win TI,” he said. Then, after explaining it means he won’t be streaming for a while, he added: “This is my goodbye. I will see you all at TI!”
TSM entered the Dota Pro Circuit 2021-22 by signing Team Undying’s roster, which includes David “MoonMeander” Yang, Enzo “Timado” Gianoli, Jonathan “Bryle” De Guia, Kim “DuBU” Doo-young, and SabeRLighT-.
They had a successful year and placed eighth on the ladder with 1380 DPC points, which means they directly qualified for The International 2022 and have given themselves a good chance to prepare.
With less than a month, SabeRLight- has returned to form at the perfect time.

DJI beats GoPro to the punch with the new Osmo Action 3
DJI have just announced their new Osmo Action 3 action camera. The new 4K camera comes less than a year after the Action 2 launch but adopts an entirely different housing; a more familiar all-in one design.
The more rugged design targets vloggers and streamers with its dual touchscreens. It is the first action camera with dual touchscreens (not counting DJI’s own Action 2 when the secondary module was attached. The lens is a full 155˚ field of view (FOV), equivalent to 12.7mm).
DJI has clearly listened to the mixed response to the Action 2 , and here the camera is waterproof to a depth of 16m (52ft) without a housing. The screens and lens are all protected with Corning Gorilla Class giving a 1.5m drop resistance.
A key improvement of the Osmo Action 3 is the battery, a 1770 mAh capable of operating in extreme temperatures as low as -20˚C to 45˚C (-4˚F to 113˚C) is included as standard. This clearly takes aim at GoPro who charges extra for an ‘Enduro’ battery.
Coming from the Action 2, which had batteries in different modules, things are also a lot easier to manage. The batteries are fast-charge capable, up to 80% in 18 minutes or full in 50. The battery can shoot for an impressive leading 160 minutes, and a Multifunctional Battery Case can protect and charge up to 3 (and has space for two spare microSD cards).
DJI has also followed their recent Mini 3 Pro drone by facilitating vertical shooting. A quick release frame has a quick magnetically-assisted clip into which the camera can easily be placed in both formats.
The camera features triple microphones with noise cancellation, a sensor to adjust white balance as it goes in and out of water, voice control and voice prompts. Manual and Pro functions are on offer too, including D-Cinelike for an editing-friendly flat video profile.
The 1/1.7-inch sensor can capture 4K video with DJI’s ‘RockSteady’ or ‘HorizonBalancing’ EIS at up to 120fps, and 1080p at up to 240fps. There is also the vlogging-friendly ‘HorizonSteady’ mode, first seen on the Action 2, which lets you turn the camera a full 360˚ without losing a steady horizon (when shooting 2.7K and below).
Video is captured at up to 4K 120fps or 1080P 240fps; not as high as the mark set by the GoPro Hero10 which can rise to 5.3K 60fps, but the camera is cheaper to buy and doesn’t push a cloud subscription. DJI do provide a downloading and editing app, Mimo, but it is free to use.
The Action 3 Standard combo is $329 / £309 / AU$519 RRP, while the Adventure Combo is priced at $399 / £439 / AU$719. The later includes the Battery Charging Case, 3 Batteries, a 1.5m Extension Rod, the horizontal/vertical protective frame and 2 quick-release mounts and screws.

The Action 3 follows so fast on the heels of its predecessor that in our review our point of comparison was the same GoPro model. It is, however, a very busy day for action cameras. GoPro has been teasing an announcement for a while and it will be made just an hour after DJI’s. Check our coverage of the GoPro news event .

SAN FRANCISCO — Mookie Betts had an RBI double in the 10th inning, Max Muncy drew a bases-loaded walk and the Los Angeles Dodgers held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Sunday night.
The Dodgers beat the Giants for the 15th time in 19 meetings this season, getting that many wins for the first time in the rivalry that goes back to 1884.
Betts' double with one out in the 10th off John Brebbia (6-2) drove in automatic runner Cody Bellinger to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead. One out later, Brebbia intentionally walked Freddie Freeman and Justin Turner to load the based. Thomas Szapucki then walked Muncy to force in another run before striking out Trayce Thompson.
In the bottom of the inning, Andrew Jackson walked Thairo Estrada and, one out later, gave up an RBI single to Wilmer Flores with automatic runner Heliot Ramos scoring from third to pull the Giants within one. J.D Davis then struck out but Evan Longoria walked to load the bases. Justin Bruihl came on and got LaMonte Wade Jr. to ground out to first to pick up his first career save.
Dodgers closer Craig Kimbrel (5-6) pitched a scoreless night to pick up the win.
Freeman's RBI single in the sixth against Giants starter Alex Cobb broke a 1-1 tie.
The Giants tied it 2-2 in the eighth on J.D. Davis' two-out RBI double off left-hander Alex Vesia. However, for the second time in the game the Giants lost a potential run when Davis' hit bounced over the wall, preventing Estrada from scoring from first. After Longoria was walked intentionally to load the bases, Wade struck out to keep the score tied.
Estrada also would have scored on Flores' double in the fourth against Dodgers starter Andrew Heaney that also bounced into the bleachers. The Giants did not score in the inning.
Heaney pitched four scoreless innings before he was pulled after 65 pitches with the Dodgers leading 1-0. Heaney had just struck out Longoria and Joey Bart to strand the bases loaded in the fourth.
A 20-minute rain delay during the top of the inning might have played into manager Dave Roberts' decision. The Dodgers have used Heaney cautiously after two stints on the injured list this year.
Justin Turner's RBI double in the top of the fourth gave the Dodgers the early lead.
The Giants tied it in the fifth against Caleb Ferguson on Trea Turner's two-out throwing error on a grounder by Estrada. Lewis Brinson, who doubled to open the inning, scored the tying run.
Cobb allowed two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings, walking three and striking out three. The right-hander has a 1.57 ERA over his past five starts.
STORMY WEATHER
The game was played amid a rare September storm for San Francisco, featuring winds that gusted to 30 miles an hour and a squall. They rain delay occurred in the fourth after Los Angeles took the lead against Cobb on a leadoff walk to Freeman and Justin Turner's double into the left-field corner. Cobb struck out Chris Taylor when play resumed to strand Turner at second base.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Dodgers: RHP Yency Almonte, on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 7 with a tight pitching elbow, will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. .... OF Kevin Pillar, who fractured his left shoulder diving into third base on June 2, also is headed to Oklahoma City for a rehab assignment.
Giants: LHP Alex Wood's season is over. Manager Gabe Kapler said Wood was not cleared to resume throwing this weekend after rehabbing a left-shoulder impingement, which landed him on the IL on Sept. 3. With so few games left, the club elected to shut him down. Wood finished his second season in San Francisco with an 8-12 record and 5.10 ERA in 26 starts. The 31-year-old is halfway through the two-year, $23 million contract he signed last winter.
ROSTER MOVES
Dodgers: LHP Tyler Anderson was expected to fly to Los Angeles on Sunday after his wife, Taitym, gave birth to their first son, Tucker. Anderson threw a bullpen session in Arizona on Sunday and is expected to come off the paternity list Tuesday to start one of the doubleheader games against the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.
Giants: San Francisco claimed RHP Jharel Cotton off waivers from the Twins, bringing the 30-year-old back to the Bay Area. Originally drafted by the Dodgers, Cotton was traded to Oakland in a 2016 deadline deal that also netted starter Frankie Montas and sent LHP Rich Hill and OF Josh Reddick to the Dodgers. Cotton's career has been beset by arm injuries, but he was throwing well for the Twins this season in relief (2.83 ERA, 1.114 WHIP in 35 IP). Cotton is expected to join the Giants in Denver on Tuesday night. To clear a 40-man spot the Giants designated OF Willie Calhoun for assignment after a four-game stint in San Francisco. ... INF Jose Rojas, who was designated for assignment Friday, cleared waivers and elected free agency.
UP NEXT
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (8-4, 2.44 ERA) goes for his 20th career win against the Diamondbacks in the opener of a four-game series at Dodgers Stadium on Monday night. RHP Merrill Kelly (12-6, 3.01) stars for Arizona.
Giants: RHP Jakob Junis (4-6, 4.15) starts Monday in the opener of a four game series at Colorado against RHP Chad Kuhl (6-9, 5.33).
