Lea Michele is the greatest star on her Funny Girl opening night.
The Glee alum wowed audiences on Sept. 6 as she stepped into the shoes Fanny Brice for the first time after replacing Beanie Feldstein, who left the broadway show sooner than expected in July.
Lots of big stars showed up to see Michele's debut. An eyewitness tells E! News that Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy and Drew Barrymore were in attendance, and that Lea received four standing ovations during the first act.
The eyewitness added, "The applause and cheering have been nonstop since Lea first came on stage."
Variety reporter Rebecca Rubin noted that Glee actor Jonathan Groff and Zachary Quinto were also in the crowd. The reporter shared a video on Twitter of Ryan and Jonathan hugging during the show's intermission.
Rubin uploaded a snapshot of Lea's bio on the show's playbill, where it read that the Les Misérables performer "is thrilled to be returning to Broadway."
E!'s eyewitness says that it was "phenomenal" to see Michele work her magic "in such an iconic and perfectly fitting role."
Another eyewitness tells E! News the energy in the room "was crazy," adding, "The audience was losing their minds at pretty much anything Lea did."
Michele's return so far could be marked as a success, with Wall Street Journal social media editor Gianna Barberia writing on Twitter that the Scream Queens actress "brought the house down during 'His Love Makes Me Beautiful' and 'You Are Woman, I Am Man.'"
Barberia also tweeted about an exchange during the show, which prompted a response from the crowd familiar with the internet rumor that Michele can't read or write.
"I'm praying that someone has a video of Fanny saying 'I don't read many books' to Nick right before 'People,'" the editor wrote. "The laughter and gasps from the audience has energized me for the week."
In response to the rumors, Lea told the New York Times in an interview published Sept. 1 that the allegations were "sad."
"I went to Glee every single day; I knew my lines every single day," she told the publication. "And then there's a rumor online that I can't read or write? It's sad. It really is. I think often if I were a man, a lot of this wouldn't be the case."

Doctor dies after getting lost, running out of water while hiking, officials say
CAVE CREEK, Ariz. (Arizona’s Family/Gray News) - Officials in Arizona say a doctor has died after he was part of a group of hikers who ran out of water while getting lost on a trail.
Arizona’s Family reports, 32-year-old Dr. Evan Dishion, was hiking with a group on a trail near Cave Creek on Monday afternoon when they suddenly needed emergency assistance.
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called at about 1:30 p.m. for reports of a person possibly suffering from heat exhaustion at the Spur Cross Trailhead.
Firefighters were also called to the scene to help rescue the group of six, as they needed to be flown to safety. Deputies said Dishion was among those rescued. He was taken to the hospital, but later died.
Officials said the five other hikers didn’t need to be taken to the hospital and were expected to be OK.
Scottsdale Fire Department Capt. Dave Folio said the group was about four miles in on the trail when they ran out of water and got lost. He added their phones were dead, and they had to borrow someone else’s phone to call 911.
Folio is warning others the Arizona heat is something to be taken seriously.
“When we got out on that trail, the temperature on the asphalt alone was reading 127 off our truck. I think it was 109 outside, so it was extreme heat. They [the group] should have been off the trail three or four hours ago,” Folio said. “Have a plan; know your limitations. That’s the message we are trying to get out.”
The National Weather Service reports much of Arizona remains under an excessive heat warning this week. The NWS said everyone should stay hydrated even if they aren’t thirsty, and if someone isn’t feeling well, get inside or find shade.
Dishion was a first-year resident at the Barrow Neurological Institute. The company released the following statement following his death:
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Dr. Evan Dishion. Dr. Dishion was a bright and gifted physician who had recently begun his first year as a neurology resident at Barrow Neurological Institute. He was a kind and generous person who made it his mission and passion for improving the lives of others. We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to Dr. Dishion’s family, friends and colleagues during this time of mourning.”
The fire department confirmed that Dishion died of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The City of West Palm Beach is looking to tackle how loud is too loud.
"Residents want it to be quieter, merchants want to keep it the way it is. I think we have to find that balance and it's not going to make everybody happy," Said Armando Fana, the Assistant City Administrator with the City of West Palm Beach.
This happens after complaints from residents that music from bars and restaurants can be heard from their homes or downtown condos.
"After 11 o'clock you should not be able to hear anything outside the doors of any establishment including the residents," said one man during a city council meeting.
"We want the bars to remain vital and healthy. We're patrons, we go there, we enjoy it. At the same time, there are bad actors," one woman said.
The City of West Palm Beach conducted a noise measurement study throughout downtown and the Northwood area and found several bars in violation and acknowledged a large amount of noise from car speakers and exhausts.
"The idea here is not to be the noise police, the idea is to work with our merchants to come down to levels that are reasonable for everybody so you can have a great experience when you come downtown," said Fana.
In the proposal, they'd check noise levels at 10 feet from an establishment, which is half the distance of what it used to be at 40 feet for the downtown entertainment district.
The sound would not exceed 85-95 decibels within the Clematis, waterfront districts, and 65 -75 within all other areas downtown.
For the Northwood Village District, the sound must be 85-95 decibels Friday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m., and quieter Sunday through Thursday at 65-75 decibels from 1 a.m. to 12 p.m.
"We've had them come by with the meters and we just shut the door, and everything is fine. When our door is closed you can't hear anything out here," said Reed Ferguson with 123 Datura.
Ferguson said they're quick to comply if things get too loud, as businesses rely on residents just as much as residents rely on them.
"We have phone numbers of people who have complained in the past or have issues with it, so they can call us and we'll happily turn it down for them, shut our door for them and make it easier to live near us," said Ferguson.
The proposal would give noisy bars a warning and will have 15 minutes to comply with the noise level.
The first offense would have a $500.00 fine, the second offense, within one year of the first offense, and each offense thereafter would bring a $1,000.00 fine.
The third offense occurring within one year of the second offense, and each offense thereafter shall be a misdemeanor of the second degree punishable by a fine of no more than $1,000.00 and/or imprisonment for a definite term, not exceeding sixty days, or both such fine and imprisonment.
"In my opinion, we have had very few noise complaints from residents regarding our restaurant businesses in the greater hospitality industry," said Nicholas Coniglio, the owner of E.R. Bradley's Saloon. "I'm a bit surprised and disappointed that we are back to square one trying to redesign a set of regulations that work effectively when the current ordinances are enforced."
There will be a 30-day window before enforcement takes place, leaders hope to educate establishments on the rules and regulations.
Amplified sound, such as a loudspeaker or a boom box, is prohibited to use in any public right-of-way or public space anywhere in the city.
City leaders will work with residents and establishments over the next two weeks on the final details before the second hearing. | https://www.wptv.com/news/region-c-palm-beach-county/west-palm-beach/proposed-ordinance-pushes-for-quieter-outdoor-bars-restaurants-in-downtown-west-palm-beach | 2022-09-07T04:05:48Z | https://www.wptv.com/news/region-c-palm-beach-county/west-palm-beach/proposed-ordinance-pushes-for-quieter-outdoor-bars-restaurants-in-downtown-west-palm-beach | true |
After comeback win, Indiana faces scrappy Idaho
One week after Indiana quarterback Connor Bazelak piloted the Hoosiers to a game-winning touchdown against Illinois in his program debut, the Missouri transfer leads his team against visiting Idaho in Saturday.
Bazelak endured a rough beginning against the Illini in last week's season opener, but he recovered to finish 28-for-52 for 330 yards with one touchdown and one interception as Indiana prevailed 23-20.
He was poised on the deciding drive, leading Indiana on a 75-yard march that culminated in Shaun Shivers' go-ahead, 1-yard scoring run with 23 seconds to play.
"Once you get in a rhythm in this offense and even just personally, once I get a completion on first down of the drive, that really gets me going," Bazelak said.
"Just my tempo. My accuracy. It's tough on me, I feel, when I have two incompletions (in a row). I feel like my rhythm is off. So I've just got to focus on taking check-downs if nothing is open deep and just get in a rhythm."
That may be a tougher proposition for Indiana (1-0) than some might think.
Idaho (0-1), in its fifth season since leaving the Football Bowl Subdivision for the Football Championship Subdivision, gave host Washington State a scare in last week's season opener.
The Vandals jumped to a 10-0 lead after one quarter and forced three Cougars fumbles before losing 24-17.
It was the first time Idaho remained within one score of a Power 5 opponent since a 21-20 overtime loss at Virginia in 2011. Between that contest and Saturday, the Vandals had lost 11 straight Power 5 games by an average of 48.2 points.
"I give these players a ton of credit for buying in and believing they could win, come in here and have a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter," Idaho coach Jason Eck said.
Indiana, which thumped visiting Idaho 56-14 last season in the first meeting between the schools, will be without right tackle Matthew Bedford for the remainder of the season, as he sustained a torn ACL against Illinois.
"It's a tough blow for Matt," Hoosiers coach Tom Allen said. "I feel for him. He is an amazing young man. But he has got an unbelievable attitude about it. And in talking with him, he's going to have a great recovery and come back and play his final season a year from now.
"But reality is that it's part of this game. You hate it for him and for our team. But next man up. And that's what happens."
Parker Hanna, a junior college transfer who played 44 snaps against the Illini, is set to take over the starting spot, Allen said.
"Whoever is in there at right tackle, the standard is set high," Bazelak said. "They'll work their butts off to meet that expectation."
Idaho's Jermaine Jackson had six receptions for a career-best 113 yards against Washington State.
The Hoosiers allowed Illinois to gain 448 yards, including 199 by Chase Brown on the ground.

Sun blow out Sky to force winner-take-all Game 5
The Connecticut Sun set a WNBA single-game record for paint points in a 104-80 rout of the Chicago Sky in Uncasville, Conn. that evened up the teams' best-of-five semifinal series at 2-2.
Courtney Williams and DeWanna Bonner each scored 19 points for Connecticut, which collected a league-record 66 points in the paint. Alyssa Thomas added 17, while DiJonai Carrington, Brionna Jones and Odyssey Sims came off the bench to chip in 12, 11 and 10 points, respectively.
The Sun canned a season-best 56.9 percent of their field goal attempts and dominated the glass 39-23 in forcing a decisive fifth game on Thursday night in Chicago. They reached the 100-point mark with 2:04 left on a three-point play by rookie Nia Clouden.
Kahleah Copper scored 16 points to lead six Sky players in double figures. Emma Meesseman added 14, while Candace Parker managed 11 points and nine rebounds but also had five of the team's 15 turnovers.
Allie Quigley, Courtney Vandersloot and reserve Dana Evans each had 10 points. Chicago shot a respectable 47.6 percent from the field.
Connecticut turned Chicago's greatest weapons against it early, getting the fast start that the Sky usually do and winning at their pace. The Sun rattled off 10 straight points for a 12-2 lead less than three minutes into the game on Natisha Hiedeman's layup.
The margin grew to 22-6 before the Sky's one decent spurt, which Quigley closed with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer that pulled them within 30-22 going to the second quarter.
Chicago drew within 38-33 on Meesseman's jumper, but Connecticut ripped off a 10-2 run to take command for good. Carrington finished the half by stealing the ball from Parker and hitting a driving layup as time expired for a 58-41 lead at the break.
Any chance the Sky might have had of rallying ended as the third quarter finished. Bonner stroked a 3-pointer and Sims stole a lazy inbounds pass from Parker, converting as time expired to make it 83-61.

Harry Styles will never be just a singer-songwriter, he’s now an actor and a fashion powerhouse as well.
The former member of British pop boy band “One Direction” has shed his musician’s skin for the male lead role alongside Oscar nominee Florence Pugh in the highly anticipated dystopian thriller film “Don’t Worry Darling,” directed by Olivia Wilde.
The film had its buzzy world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Monday, taking the internet and the world by storm with behind-the-scenes controversies and most of all, fashion.
Styles arrived on the Venice carpet dripping in a navy blue Gucci suit with bold broad shoulders and a very peaked collar, Sarah Karmali, executive editor (digital) at Harper’s Bazaar, described to The Associated Press.
Laura Jordan, fashion & lifestyle features director at Grazia magazine, said Styles’ partnership with his stylist Harry Lambert has created “absolute magic.”
“(Styles’ fashion) always got this kind of retro bit camp vibe. He loves the big collar, the tinted shades, lots and lots of Gucci,” Jordan said.
In 2018, Styles began to build his personal style and brand by becoming one of the ambassadors for the Italian fashion house Gucci. Styles has worn the brand in several editorial campaigns but more noteworthy was the dress he sported for the November 2020 Vogue cover. The musician-actor was the fashion magazine’s first solo male cover star.
The highly talked about cover depicted Styles in an open green field under clear skies and dressed in Gucci’s Alessandro Michele-designed blue dress that was lined with black lace for a pop of contrast, multiple ruffled tiers and to top it all off — a classic black blazer.
Since his transition from member of a boy band to a solo artist with multiple bestselling albums, he has become synonymous with a flamboyant signature look — a colorful array of oversized 70s-inspired three-piece suits and jumpsuits with flared bellbottoms and an occasional feather boa, mimicking the likes of Elton John.
Each outfit for his “Love On Tour 2022,” which currently includes an impressive 15-day residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden, sparks a pattern — literally.
Exclusively dressed in Gucci every night, Styles has worn a different pattern-filled two-piece jumpsuit ranging from stripes to dots, all in different colors like bright hues of red, pink, blue and yellow.
If there is a takeaway from Styles’ personal wardrobe evolution, it is that it’s personal, eclectic and most of all, fun.
“Harry Styles knows exactly who Harry Styles is,” Jordan said.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s foreign minister withdrew Tuesday from an Arab League session chaired by the chief diplomat of one of Libya’s two rival governments. The move was an apparent protest against her representing Libya at the pan-Arab summit. Egypt supports her administration’s rival.
The seats of the Egyptian delegation were seen empty as Najla Mangoush, the foreign minister of the Tripoli-based administration, was addressing a meeting for the Arab foreign ministers in Cairo.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukry left the meeting room in the Arab League headquarters when Mangoush took her seat to chair the meeting. Egypt sees the chaos in neighboring Libya as a threat to its stability, with militants using the Libyan desert as a safe haven from which to launch deadly attacks on Egyptian security forces and Christians.
Egypt’s government has argued the mandate of the Tripoli-based government of Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibah has ended after Libya’s east-based parliament appointed a rival premier earlier this year.
In a news conference following the meeting, Mangoush attempted to downplay Shukry’s withdrawal, saying that it was “not a crisis but a divergence of views” regarding the legitimacy of Dbeibah’s government.
Libya’s current political stalemate grew out of the failure to hold elections in December and Dbeibah’s refusal to step down. In response, the country’s east-based parliament appointed a rival prime minister, Fathy Bashagha, who has for months sought to install his government in Tripoli.
The parliament cancelled its session Monday in the eastern city of Benghazi after it said lawmakers were prevented from leaving the capital, Tripoli, which is controlled by Dbeibah-allied militias.
The divisions have contributed to fresh fighting in the war-torn country. Deadly clashes between militias backed by its two rival administrations killed 23 people last month in Libya’s capital, portending a return to violence amid a long political stalemate.
The escalation threatens to shatter the relative calm Libya has enjoyed for most of the past two years. The oil-rich nation plunged into chaos following a NATO-backed uprising that toppled and killed longtime autocrat Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.
Tens of thousands of Egyptians have sought work in neighboring Libya over the years, although the number has declined since the 2011 uprising.
Egypt was a key backer of eastern aligned military commander Khalifa Hifter, who is now allied with Bashagha. | https://who13.com/news/international-news/ap-international/ap-egypt-exits-arab-league-meeting-opposing-libyan-minister/ | 2022-09-07T04:09:02Z | https://who13.com/news/international-news/ap-international/ap-egypt-exits-arab-league-meeting-opposing-libyan-minister/ | true |
Ellen Pompeo may be taking a backseat in season 19 of Grey's Anatomy, but she's making sure the new class of residents get a warm welcome at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
In a new teaser trailer for the upcoming season of ABC's medical drama, Pompeo's Meredith Grey introduces the latest crop of aspiring doctors -- who normally would not have gotten the opportunity to be enrolled in a residency program -- into their new home. "Diamonds in the rough," as Scott Speedman's Nick Marsh describes them.
"Congratulations, you're here," Meredith brings in the wide-eyed residents into the operating room, a callback to the series premiere when Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) does it. "You will save lives with this equipment... and you will end them."
The residents -- Blue (Harry Shum Jr.), Jules (Adelaide Kane), Simone (Alexis Floyd), Lucas (Niko Terho) and Mika (Midori Francis) -- are the first test in Grey Sloan's new residency program, and they couldn't be more different in personality, perspective and life experience. Plus, there are already hints of brewing tension between Jules and Link (Chris Carmack) that seem oddly familiar to the way Meredith and Derek's love story began back in season 1.
"This season, the hospital is going through a bit of a rebirth," Floyd tees up in the new video, with Shum adding that Grey Sloan "is trying to get back to the top." "A second chance, that's a big theme this season for both the interns as well as many of the characters you know and love already," Floyd shares.
Francis promises that viewers won't be disappointed with the new season, revealing that it's still signature Grey's "but with an explosion of newness."
Watch the season 19 teaser trailer below.
Grey's Anatomy premieres Thursday, Oct. 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Summer break continues for Seattle students. Tomorrow was supposed to be the first day of school. Now it will not be, because Seattle Public Schools canceled class after the teachers union voted to authorize a strike by an overwhelming margin. The union says the district will not give them what they need, which is more money to live and a cap on student-to-teacher ratios in classrooms that include students with special needs, according to The Seattle Times. Hannah will have more on the details of the conflict tomorrow.
After the district called off school, the union rallied outside the district's office to call for a fair contract.
Sound familiar? The teachers went on strike in 2015. They also planned to strike in 2018, but then the two sides reached a deal. The issue at the time remains the core issue today: the State Legislature "fully funds" schools according to a formula that does not pay for enough staff to actually run the schools. Until every single parent starts screaming at the Legislature to fix this problem until they actually fix it, then, every time a contract expires, teachers will continue to strike for reasonable working conditions while districts continue to claim they don't have the money.
Council transportation OKs Harrell's pick for SDOT director: The vote to confirm Greg Spotts was unanimous, according to the West Seattle Blog, which noted that he planned to join the Mayor in walking kids to school tomorrow, but that plan is now probably called off. Lately, he's been taking in the city's art:

More memories of the floatplane dead: Seattle Times reporter Dan Beekman writes of Pat Hicks, 66, a retired teacher who died in the crash along with her partner, Sandy Williams, a civil rights activist out of Spokane. She "blessed Spokane with her gentle nature, community spirit and dance moves," he writes.
Someone give the whole Seattle Office of Labor Standards a raise: Another week, another six-figure settlement for Seattle workers. This time, the OLS will return nearly $360,000 to more than 250 workers at a pawn shop company called Cash America. OLS claimed the company failed to pay workers the minimum wage and giving required breaks, and now the company is paying up, KIRO 7 reports.
COVID-19 is still going around: King County Public Health Chief Dr. Jeff Duchin says we're down from our peak in mid-July, but the current hospitalization levels track "what we see during the peak of a moderate-severity influenza season."

HARRY DID NOT SPIT ON CHRIS!!!! Everything is fine! There was no spit! Gossip-loving film fans freaked out this weekend because there have been some real weird vibes during Don’t Worry Darling’s press tour, and it all culminated in the theory that Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine as the singer took his seat during a press screening. But he didn’t! Not of it is real! It’s Olivia Wilde’s attempt to get the Ryan Murphy Feud treatment 10 years down the road, I’m sure of it!
Some judges like Trump: A federal judge decided an independent arbiter needs to review the thousands of records the FBI seized during a search at Mar-a-Lago. Sounds weird for an arbiter to have access to highly classified information such as a “foreign nation’s nuclear capabilities” that even senior national security officials haven’t seen, right? It is! Legal experts who spoke with the New York Times called the move “unprecedented” and “deeply problematic.” Fun fact: The judge, Aileen M. Cannon, was appointed by Trump in 2020.
Some judges don’t like Trump: A New Mexico judge called the Jan. 6 Capitol riot an “insurrection,” which is “the first time any court has done so,” reports CNBC. The judge also ruled that Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin will be removed from office “immediately” for his participation in the Jan. 6 events. Griffin founded a group called Cowboys for Trump, and this ruling also prevents him from holding any state or federal elected positions in the future, CNN reports.
Speaking of Trump (ugh, gross, sorry): Some new Coffee County Surveillance video has more footage of Pro-Trump activists visiting the county’s elections office in January 2021. The data breach is currently being investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and investigators are, uh, investigating whether or not any laws have been broken.

A now-viral video interview on social media had rocketed Tariq the "corn kid" to another moment of fame, making him South Dakota's new "corn-bassador" for his beloved product of agriculture.
Tariq was honored by South Dakota officials and the state's Gov. Kristi Noem signed an executive proclamation naming him officially as their ambassador of corn.
South Dakota has a Corn Palace honoring the famous crop and calling the "palace," located in the town of Mitchell, the only one in the world.
Tariq became well known after a video shared by the Instagram account @recess_therapy interviewed him while eating an ear of grilled and buttered corn as he spoke of all of its wonderful qualities.

Brandon Tierney Goes Off on Brian Cashman For Yankees Collapse
After finishing the first half of the 2022 MLB season 64-28, the New York Yankees entered Tuesday night with a record of 81-54. Yes, they're 17-26 in the second half and, other than Aaron Judge, have looked painfully bad at times. Brandon Tierney is placing the blame squarely on one man: general manager Brian Cashman.
Tierney took to the air on WFAN Tuesday and laid into Cashman. He believes the team needs an overhaul and that the team's current general manager isn't the man to oversee it. He then went through and listed all the awful contracts the 55-year-old has handed out over the years and it's pretty staggering.
Here's the segment from Tiki and Tierney:
I mean, it's hard to disagree here. The Yankees look rough and they don't have Judge under contract for next season. Frankly, that's on Cashman as well. The Yankees could have locked Judge up before his historic 2022 season. They let him play out his contract and will either have to pay a ridiculous amount to retain him or lose him and only get draft pick compensation in return. | https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/brandon-tierney-brian-cashman-yankees-fired-rebuild-01gcav8h3950 | 2022-09-07T04:34:26Z | https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/brandon-tierney-brian-cashman-yankees-fired-rebuild-01gcav8h3950 | true |
WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — The United States on Tuesday called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s warnings to Greece over sea disputes “unhelpful” and urged the two NATO allies to settle differences diplomatically.
“At a time when Russia has again invaded a sovereign European state, statements that could raise tensions between NATO allies are particularly unhelpful,” a State Department spokesperson said when asked about Erdogan’s remarks, without naming him.
“The United States continues to encourage our NATO allies to work together to maintain peace and security in the region, and to resolve differences diplomatically.”
Erdogan on Saturday told a rally that Greece would pay a “heavy price” for harassing Turkish fighter jets over the Aegean and referenced Turkey’s 1922 takeover of the historic Greek city of Smyrna, now Izmir, a bitter memory for Greeks.
Turkey said Greece had used Russian-made air defense system to harass Turkish jets and says Ankara is stationing troops on islands in the Aegean Sea in violation of peace treaties.
Greece rejects the allegations and often accuses Turkey of raising tensions, including through overflights of Greek islands.

Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, the widest on Earth, is in trouble.
The glacier extends out into the Southern Ocean and is losing about 50 billion tons of ice per year, with that loss doubling over the last 30 years. In 2019, NASA scientists discovered a huge cavity beneath the glacier, about two-thirds the size of Manhattan, which could speed up the glacier's demise. This week, researchers mapped the ocean floor in front of Thwaites, showing the glacier had rapidly retreated in the past -- and suggesting a small kick might accelerate its retreat once more.
This is worrying. If Thwaites melts, sea levels would rise about 25 inches. Its demise could also destabilize the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which locks away around 10 feet of sea level rise. That kind of melting would be catastrophic.
With every new study, we learn more about Thwaites's vulnerability. And with every new study we see Thwaites back in the news cycle, largely thanks to its powerful and alarming nickname: "The Doomsday Glacier."
But that nickname, though it has generated mountains of press exploring the fate of Thwaites, might actually do more harm than good. It's a moniker glaciologists and scientists shy away from using -- so why is it so pervasive in the mainstream press? Should we keep using it? And why does it matter?
Doom and Gloom
On May 9, 2017, Rolling Stone published a deeply-researched and brilliantly-written piece about Thwaites by climate writer Jeff Goodell. It had a simple, powerful headline: "The Doomsday Glacier." It's perfect for the story. But the nickname stuck.
Today, publications repeat the line ad nauseum whenever a significant new study about Thwaites is published. Some stories suggest Thwaites is known as the Doomsday glacier in "scientific circles" because its disintegration could lead to catastrophic sea level rise of more than 3 to 10 feet. That's not quite the case.
We don't know for sure how Thwaites' disintegration would change sea levels in the short-term. The glacier itself locks up about 25 inches of sea level rise, but most stories use the 3 to 10 feet range. This is actually referring to the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet being lost.
And though extensive research shows Thwaites is in trouble, it's not the scientists or glaciologists or polar experts that are throwing around the nickname. I spoke to a number of experts associated with glaciology and polar research who all highlighted the fate of Thwaites is increasingly concerning. However, most had mixed feelings about the doomsday moniker, with many averse to using the title at all.
"I discourage the use of the term 'Doomsday Glacier' to refer to Thwaites Glacier," said Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder and member of the Thwaites Glacier Collaboration. Scambos suggested "wild card glacier" or "riskiest glacier" might be used in its place.
One of the chief reasons scientists feel uneasy about the phrase is that it suggests we're already doomed. "We are not," said Eric Rignot, an Earth scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The doom and gloom narrative feeds into a sense that we've already past the point of no return, that Thwaites is already lost which can, more broadly, lead to inaction. The moniker gives us the wrong idea.
"It's kind of too alarmist," noted Helen Fricker, a glaciologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Rignot said we could still slow down the retreat of Thwaites if we take proper action on climate but "time is running out." That's a little less severe than doomsday, of course.
Another reason "doomsday" might not be a great moniker is because it obscures the larger problem facing the Earth's frozen areas -- the "cryosphere." Human-induced climate change and the burning of fossil fuels has caused glacial retreat across the planet.
"On the one hand, it is a wake up call, aka take these things seriously," said Rignot. "On the other hand, it summarizes the situation as if there was only one bad glacier out there."
Rignot explains there are glaciers across the world -- in East Antarctica and Greenland, for instance -- which lock up far more water. If those were to disintegrate and disappear, sea level rise could be an order of magnitude greater than what we might see with Thwaites.
The study this week in Nature Geoscience, led by glaciologist Robert Larter at the British Antarctic Survey, shows how precarious the situation is and how much faster than expected Thwaites might retreat. But even Larter shies away from using the word "Doomsday."
That's not to say Thwaites isn't important.
"Thwaites is obviously not the only glacier that matters, but it is objectively the most concerning glacier on Earth in terms of its potential to generate large amounts of sea level rise in the future," said Andrew Mackintosh, a glaciologist at Monash University.
So should we keep using "Doomsday Glacier"?
You Can't Always Get What You Want
In September 2021, coronavirus cases were surging in South Africa. Scientists began detecting a variant of the virus dubbed C.1.2, with a number of mutations, which quickly found its way to the press via preprint studies.
Though the new variant accounted for just 5% of new cases, some publications jumped on the news, describing the variant as "worse than Delta," and calling it the Doomsday variant.
Doomsday, it seems, can be brought about by many different sources.
The coronavirus scenario is an interesting comparison. By the time the doomsday headlines began circulating, the World Health Organization was already suggesting that C.1.2 was not a variant of concern. That meant it was easy to drop the alarmist name.
For Thwaites, things are a little different. Scientists are concerned about its future. Things are getting worse. Doomsday, in this instance, helps bring attention to the plight of the glacier and may aid in understanding how problematic things have become. And perhaps it's already too late to change course and rename it. Even the first line of Thwaites Glacier's Wikipedia page says it's also known as the Doomsday Glacier.
"There is no getting ahead of the label," said Scambos. "On the plus side, the public is now aware of the area because of the power of the nickname," said Scambos.
So, though scientists might not feel all that great about it, we might just be stuck with it. We just can't let that hide the fact there are many glaciers under threat and the threat is us: If we don't wean ourselves off fossil fuels, we'll continue to increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and bring about Thwaites demise.
And the real doomsday won't be the loss of Thwaites. It will be when we disturb areas like East Antarctica, which locks away meters of sea level. If that sheet was lost it would dramatically change the face of the Earth. Fricker says that's not a future that will come to pass any time soon but if we begin to see dramatic changes in that ice sheet, then that's when we're in real trouble.
"That's doomsday," she said. | https://www.cnet.com/science/climate/please-stop-calling-it-the-doomsday-glacier/ | 2022-09-07T04:44:59Z | https://www.cnet.com/science/climate/please-stop-calling-it-the-doomsday-glacier/ | true |
American basketball legend Sue Bird's career has ended amid acclaim as the Las Vegas Aces advanced to the WNBA Finals with a 97-92 win over her Seattle Storm in Game 4 of their semi-final series.
The Aces will get the spotlight in the Finals. On this night, the aftermath of the result was all about 41-year-old Bird and the conclusion to her two decades as a pillar to the WNBA and the Storm franchise, where she won four titles since being drafted as No.1 in 2002.
Five-time Olympic gold medallist Bird stayed on the court after the final buzzer, receiving hugs from the entire Aces roster. She wiped away tears while the crowd cheered and cried along with her at the end of career.
The oldest player in the league, Bird started the year thinking this would be it, but brought finality to the decision midway through the regular season.
Las Vegas spoiled the party in Seattle's home regular-season finale when Bird was honoured by the franchise and the league for her 21 seasons with the team and 19 as a player, missing two seasons with injury.
And it was Aces that finally eliminated Bird and the Storm after four tense and stressful games filled with big shots and big performances.
The Aces won the best-of-five series 3-1, all the games tense, pressure-packed and filled with spectacular shot-making. The Aces ended up making more, most notably Chelsea Gray, who made five of six shots down the stretch and scored 12 of the final 20 points for the Aces.
It will be the third Finals appearance in franchise history for Las Vegas. The Aces lost to Seattle in 2020 in the WNBA bubble played in Florida, and the franchise reached the Finals in 2008 while still in San Antonio, losing to Detroit.
Breanna Stewart tied the WNBA playoff record with 42 points, just the fifth player to score 40 or more in a postseason game, and Jewell Loyd added 29. But Seattle failed to find a third scorer and the Aces had an answer for every charge Seattle made after Las Vegas surged in front early in the second half. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/basketball/basketball-great-sue-birds-career-ends-c-8154430 | 2022-09-07T05:03:20Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/basketball/basketball-great-sue-birds-career-ends-c-8154430 | false |
Two Northern cricket stars have received one of Cricket Tasmania's highest honours.
Launceston's Alex Doolan and George Town's Xavier Doherty have been inducted into the Field of Fame which recognises their feats while representing Tasmania.

They join Luke Butterworth, Brett Geeves and Ben Hilfenhaus, as well as Tasmania's inaugural Sheffield Shield team as inductees for 2022.
Doolan made 12 first-class centuries and 30 half-centuries.
His 2014 Test debut against South Africa in Centurion is one Aussie fans fondly remember.
The right-hander made 89 runs in the second innings, contributing to Australia's 281-run win.
Doolan wore the baggy green four times and made 191 Test runs at an average of 23.87.
The batsman, who notched 105 first-class appearances across 12 years, made his first-class debut against New South Wales in Newcastle in 2009.
He is one of only eight to reach 100 first-class matches for the state and his highest score was 247 not out.
Doolan's father Bruce is also in the Field of Fame, having been inducted this year as a member of Tasmania's first Sheffield Shield team.
Meanwhile, Doherty was regarded as one of the best spinners in the country.
He made his Tassie debut in 2001-02 and a decade later represented Australia.
He shone in his first One-Day international, collecting 4-46 against Sri Lanka in 2012.
The left-arm spinner claimed 72 wickets across four Tests, 60 one-dayers and 11 Twenty20 games for the nation.
He played 71 first-class and 176 List A matches and was part of three domestic one-day finals victories in 2004-05, 2007-08 and 2009-10.
The George Town product was also part of Tasmania's Sheffield Shield-winning side in 2010-11.

HERZOGENAURACH, Germany, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sports company PUMA has unveiled its first ever metaverse website experience, called Black Station, which features exclusive NFTs with limited edition redeemable physical sneakers, as part of its 'FUTROGRADE' show during New York Fashion Week.
PUMA Black Station has been imagined as an immersive and interactive place to experience the future of the brand. As a blank and ever-evolving 3D canvas, Black Station will become a dynamic destination to visit, connecting consumers with various web3 activations emerging over the course of the next year and beyond.
"Twenty years ago, Black Station was PUMA's home for our most innovative designs in fashion," said Adam Petrick, PUMA's Chief Brand Officer. "Given the boundaries we are pushing from a product design and digital standpoint, we found it fitting to bring Black Station back as a new portal for digital exploration across fashion, sport performance, our heritage classics, and innovation."
The experience begins with visitors entering a hyper-realistic digital lobby space with three separate portals. The first two portals, accessible beginning September 7th, will unveil exclusive never-seen-before Nitro NFRNO and Nitro Fastroid sneakers linked to PUMA's recent NFT Nitropass mint.
Those who minted a Nitropass can receive two NFTs – one tied to physical products and one that unlocks a customized experience linked to their chosen shoe. Following the Futrograde show, minters can claim their physical sneakers by burning their product-claimed NFT. This marks unchartered territory for the brand in the web3 space, establishing its first PUMA-owned NFT that links digital design with in-real-life physical products for consumers.
For the digital product design, PUMA encouraged their in-house designers to push the creative boundaries to envision what a 3D digital sneaker could look like. "Our team of designers took a lot of liberties when envisioning these footwear styles. We told them the sky is the limit. As a result, we were able to harness their creativity without the typical confines and limitations of our shoe production process," said Heiko Desens, Global Creative Director and Head of Innovation. "What is just as impressive as the actual designs is the fact that we were actually able to work with development to bring these stunning designs to life."
The sneakers recontextualize iconic PUMA features through bold, innovative designs. Fastroid takes a performance tech silhouette to the extreme with exaggerated volumes of Nitro foam in gradient high-impact hues. With "sport is art" as the guiding ambition, NFRNO appears like a hybrid collision of the past and future, drawing inspiration from obscure archive styles to arrive at a multi-part molded construction.
The third portal of Black Station will function as the entry to the digital NYFW metaverse fashion show. Visitors will be immersed into an interactive space abstracted with point cloud style effects. They will journey through a digital adaptation of the show, where visitors can interact with the collection's pieces.
The Black Station metaverse, developed by creative ventures company FTR, has been built with Unreal Engine 5 to produce cutting-edge graphics.
David Stamatis, Executive Creative Director and Partner at FTR explains, "We're dedicated to bringing great creative ideas to life through immersive experience, technology, and community. This project, and our partner in PUMA, gave us agency and trust to push into the unknown and test how these creative components can be put together to innovate in the storytelling around product, fashion, and brand. Creating a truly phygital experience has opened our eyes to the immense opportunity for brands in the future."
Visitors can enter PUMA's Black Station experience at blackstation.puma.com. A limited quantity of NFTs and subsequently exclusive sneakers exist. Visit PUMA's discord page to learn more about the project.

INDIANAPOLIS — September is Baby Safety Month, so Chief Mom Officer Jeanine Bobenmoyer shared some tips and reminders for parents.
If you’re not familiar with The City Moms, it is a community for moms to meet, connect and support one another. There’s a blog with tips and advice, ideas for things to do with your kids, and personal stories from moms about their struggles and successes.
Memberships are available for $9.99 a month or $99 per year that bring additional benefits like instant access to the private online group, special invites to in-person events, hangout opportunities with other local moms, additional content, savings and discounts, and more.
1. Check your car seats monthly
Think of all the wear and tear you put on your car, especially if you hit a big pothole or accidentally hop a curb. That wear and tear can tousle up your car seat, too.
Bobenmoyer suggests setting a reminder in your phone to check your car seat installation once a month. Check the latch system and tighten, and make sure the five-point harness is pushed up so it sits on the child’s chest, not lower around the abdomen, and that it’s level.
If you’re not sure about the proper car installation, just Google “car seat installation check near me.” Many hospitals, fire stations or pediatricians will do it for free.
2. Less is more when it comes to crib safety
A crib should have a firm mattress and a fitted sheet — that’s it. Extra items like blankets or toys create a safety hazard. If you’re worried about your baby being cold at night, you can use a breathable swaddle or sleep sack instead of a blanket.
3. Check smoke, carbon monoxide detectors each month
If not in the baby’s room, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be as close as possible, ideally in the hallway right outside the baby’s room. Check these once a month to make sure they’re working properly and the batteries are still good.
4. Look for Pluie diaper-changing stations
Pluie changing stations, developed by two moms, are self-sanitizing using a patented UV-C light system. They’re starting to pop up all over Greater Indy, Bobenmoyer said, including places like The Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing, Conner Prairie in Fishers and the Indianapolis Zoo. | https://fox59.com/indy-now/baby-safety-tips-reminders/ | 2022-09-07T05:24:48Z | https://fox59.com/indy-now/baby-safety-tips-reminders/ | true |
Tigers claw back from early deficit, tumble in extras to Angels
The Tigers' comeback bid against the Angels fell short in a 5-4 extra-inning loss that saw Detroit take its first lead of the game in the top of the 10th before losing it in the ensuing frame.
Eduardo Rodriguez (seven innings, five hits, three earned runs) recorded another rock-solid outing, recovering from some early mistakes to draw soft contact down the stretch and retire the final 11 batters he faced in his longest start of the season. Rodriguez’s command was as good as it’s been all season, issuing no walks for the first time since his night against the Dodgers on May 1.
It was all Los Angeles in the early going, with Mike Trout hitting a one-out home run to center field on the first pitch he saw from Rodriguez in the opening inning. Then, after Angels starter Mike Mayers put the Tigers down in order in the top of the second, Mike Ford and Jo Adell hit back-to-back solo home runs of their own to put the Angels up 3-0 in the bottom of the second.
BOX SCORE: Angels 5, Tigers 4 (10 inn.)
The Tigers broke through for their first run of the series in the fourth, with Javier Báez reaching on an infield single and advancing to second on Harold Castro’s groundout. Spencer Torkelson promptly singled up the middle to score Báez and make it 3-1 as Rodriguez started to turn the tide against the Angels.
Willi Castro led off the sixth with a double into center field on the first pitch he saw before reaching third on a passed ball. With a runner in prime scoring position, Báez grounded out to third and scored Castro to make it 3-2, ending the night for Mayers (5⅔ innings, four hits, two earned runs).
After a scoreless seventh, Jose Quijada drilled Willi Castro in the thigh with a fastball and one out in the top of the eighth to give the Tigers another baserunner. Victor Reyes subsequently bounced a double just within the right field line to put runners on second and third with one out and Báez due up to face Jimmy Herget.
Báez came through once again with another groundout to score Willi Castro and knot the game at 3. Angels manager Phil Nevin opted to intentionally walk Harold Castro to get Torkelson, who struck out swinging to close the frame.
Alex Lange entered in relief of Rodriguez in the bottom of the eighth, striking out Adell before walking Matt Thaiss. In a pressure situation, the Tigers stood tall with yet another critical defensive stand as Báez and Harold Castro turned two off David Fletcher’s groundout to end the inning.
In the ninth, Ryan Tepera put the Tigers down in order in the ninth before Joe Jiménez muscled his way past Trout and Shohei Ohtani, gave up a two-out single to Luis Rengifo and induced a flyout from Taylor Ward to send the game to extras.
Eric Haase, pinch-hitting for Akil Baddoo, led off the 10th with a single to advance automatic runner Kody Clemens to third with no outs. However, Tepera quickly recovered to induce a pop out from Willi Castro and strike out Reyes — bringing Báez back up in another scoring situation.
After taking two deep cuts on pitches outside the strike zone, Báez delivered on a hit-and-run to score Clemens and give the Tigers the 4-3 lead, their first of the game.
It didn't last long as the Angels answered with two runs off reliever Andrew Chafin. Magneuris Sierra drove in the winning run on a bunt single, sending the Tigers to their fourth straight loss.

Biden Administration takes steps to establish and expand domestic production of semiconductors in US
US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Tuesday told reporters at the White House that the Department of Commerce plans to implement the USD 50 billion in CHIPS in this regard.
Washington: The Biden Administration has announced having taken steps to establish and expand their domestic production of semiconductors, given that the US consumes more than 25 per cent of the world's leading-edge chips and produces zero of those chips which is considered as a national security risk.
US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Tuesday told reporters at the White House that the Department of Commerce plans to implement the USD 50 billion in CHIPS in this regard.
President Joe Biden last month signed a USD 280 billion CHIPS bill to boost domestic high-tech manufacturing, part of his administration's push to boost US competitiveness over China.
"This past year, we saw the impact of the chip shortage on American families when car prices drove a third of inflation because of lack of chips, factory workers were furloughed, household appliances were often unavailable, all because of a lack of semiconductors," Raimondo said.
"And as our economy and military become more reliant on technology, it's that much more essential that we develop a strategy with values, outcomes, and structures that enable us to plan for an economy and manufacturing infrastructure that positions us to compete today and into the future," she added.
As per Tuesday's decision, the massive USD 50 billion funding aims at establishing and expanding domestic production of leading-edge semiconductors in the United States.
"Today, the United States consumes more than 25 percent of the world's leading-edge chips and produces zero of those chips," she said.
"We want to build a sufficient and stable supply of mature node semiconductors. We consume 30 per cent, produce 13 per cent. We need to fix that," she said, adding that the administration will invest in research and development to ensure the next generation of semiconductor technology is developed and produced right here in the United States.
She said the decision taken by the Biden Administration would create jobs.
"In the process of doing all this, we will create tens of thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs and more than a hundred thousand construction jobs. This effort will ensure the pipeline for these jobs expands to include people who have historically not had a chance to participate in this industry, including women, people of colour, veterans, and people who live in rural areas. And that is explicitly required in statute, and we will carry out Congress's intent," Raimondo said.
To achieve these goals, CHIPS for America will support three distinct initiatives. Two of those initiatives, which total USD 39 billion, will make investments in domestic chip manufacturing here in the United States, the Commerce Secretary announced.
The Biden Administration, she said, will make large-scale investments in leading-edge manufacturing.
CHIPS for America will target approximately USD 28 billion in manufacturing incentives to establish domestic production of leading-edge logic and memory chips that require the most sophisticated processes available today, she noted.
"We will invest about USD 10 billion in new manufacturing capacity for mature or current-generation semiconductors. This will help us increase domestic production across a range of chips, including the chips that are used in cars, medical devices, and communication technology," she said.
The Administration is going to make historic investments to strengthen America's research and innovation leadership. Eleven billion dollars will go to research and development programs, including the creation of a National Semiconductor Technology Center, Raimondo told reporters.
August acts as a threshold of surge in auto sales compared to the same period during the previous year which was marred by chip shortages. With the better economic scenario, excitement of new product launches and the waning of supply side constraints now, vehicle dispatches in the month grew across segments. With more festivals to come in September and October, the industry is betting on good consumer demand and sales volumes.
With this, for the first time-ever all the three German luxury car companies, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, will have Indian executives holding the top position. Santosh Iyer will be the MD of Mercedes-Benz, Vikram Pawah is the CEO & President and CEO of BMW India, and Balbir Singh Dhillon is the head of Audi India. | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/auto-components/biden-administration-takes-steps-to-establish-and-expand-domestic-production-of-semiconductors-in-us/94039647 | 2022-09-07T05:30:40Z | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/auto-components/biden-administration-takes-steps-to-establish-and-expand-domestic-production-of-semiconductors-in-us/94039647 | false |
3.5 Million More Recruits Are Needed to Fill Cyber Vacancies
BOSTON, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Women still only make up a quarter of the workforce in cybersecurity, a striking gap compared to 39% participation in the general workforce. At the same time, the global cybersecurity workforce would need to grow by 80% to meet current demand, according to a joint study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and The Global Cybersecurity Forum (GCF). The report, titled "Empowering Women to Work in Cybersecurity Is a Win-Win," is being released today. It is based on a global survey of 2,000 female science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate students in 26 countries across six regions, as well as interviews with 20 international experts in the field.
The report highlights key actions that need to be taken to meet this growing gender divide in cybersecurity. Engaging women with STEM subjects at an early stage is key to their participation in cybersecurity: 78% of the survey respondents developed an interest in STEM in middle school or high school. However, access to STEM education, although an issue, is not the main stumbling block: 58% of respondents had access to cybersecurity education, and 68% had already taken a cybersecurity-related course. Around 82% of survey respondents said they had some or a lot of knowledge about cybersecurity. Challenges include social or cultural norms constraining what women study, home and care responsibilities that affect their ability to enter or succeed in a cybersecurity career, and negative perceptions of cybersecurity as a career choice. About 37% of respondents think cybersecurity does not offer work-life balance, which is one of the top three factors for women choosing a job, along with good compensation and meaningful work.
"The results of this report have shown that women are ready and prepared to fill the talent gap in the cybersecurity workforce," said Alaa M. Alfaadhel, Initiatives & Partnerships Lead at GCF. "With the right encouragement from a young age, women can not only begin to enter the industry, but can also become leaders in their field. By bringing together the leading voices and minds of the cyberworld at the GCF, we are confident that we can bridge this gap and action impactful change for women in cybersecurity."
"Closing the gender gap in cybersecurity would fulfill an urgent demand in the field that is only going to get bigger," said Leila Hoteit, a BCG managing director and senior partner; global lead of the firm's education, employment, and welfare sector; and coauthor of the study. "It would also strengthen cyber resilience by bringing in diverse perspectives and would improve business performance. But at the current pace, it will take 130 years to achieve gender parity in the industry. The escalation in cybersecurity threats and their economic impact make it imperative that urgent action is taken to address this mismatch."
The magnitude of the challenge differs from region to region: 94% of respondents in the Middle East and North Africa, 89% in Europe, 84% in Africa, and 82% in Asia-Pacific were interested in pursuing a cybersecurity degree, compared to 77% in Latin America and only 61% in North America. Similarly, 45% of North American respondents were likely to participate in targeted STEM programming in their school education, compared to 72% in Europe and 79% in the Middle East and North Africa.
The report recommends a holistic approach, addressing the pipeline, recruitment, retention, and advancement for women in the field. Key initiatives would include targeted STEM engagement of school-age girls; openness to training or reskilling candidates with aptitude; gender- and family-friendly policies; ensuring a good work-life balance; and providing access to mentors, sponsors, and women's networks dedicated to advancing women into senior leadership roles.

DALLAS (AP) — With summer vacations winding down, airlines are counting on the return of more business travelers to keep their pandemic recovery going into the fall.
Air travel in the United States, bolstered by huge numbers of tourists, has nearly recovered to pre-pandemic levels — even topping 2019 numbers over the Labor Day weekend.
Inflation — and especially this year’s sharp rise in airfares — raises concern about how long vacationers can afford to keep flying at their current pace. Airlines say they see no signs of a slowdown in leisure travel.
Business travel, however, remains about 25% to 30% below 2019 levels, according to airlines and outfits that track sales.
And it is not clear when — or if — road warriors will return to their old travel habits.
“The whole challenge for the industry is around the return of the corporate traveler, and whether he is going to come back in enough volume and frequency that is going to help these airlines,” says John Grant, an analyst with travel-data provider OAG.
The Global Business Travel Association recently predicted that corporate travel won’t fully return until mid-2026, 18 months later than the trade group had previously forecast.
Business travelers generally pay higher fares, so their absence has an outsized impact on airline revenue and profit.
Business travel is slower to return because it is more complicated than somebody deciding they want to take a vacation after staying home during the first two years of the pandemic, says Chuck Thackston, who leads data research at the Airlines Reporting Corp., a ticket-settlement firm that operates as a middleman between airlines and travel agents.
“On the corporate side, it just takes a little more to restart that because there are so many moving parts,” Thackston said. “If you want to go visit clients in New York, it could be that nobody is in the office in New York. That is slowly building back.”
Conventions and other big meetings are another key driver of business travel, and also seem to be coming back, Thackston said.
Airline officials say that travel by small-business operators has recovered nearly fully, but that many corporate travelers have not returned to the road or skies. They say that during the pandemic, some companies imposed tougher restrictions for health and budget reasons — even requiring that high-level executives approve all travel.
The chief commercial officer of Southwest Airlines, Andrew Watterson, said that since business travel began picking up this spring, “it was skewed toward smaller businesses and government and education were traveling. Our largest corporates are the ones that are lagging, particularly banking, consulting and technology.”
Watterson said that among Southwest’s biggest corporate accounts, they all have employees traveling — but not as many of them, and not as often.
Southwest officials said Tuesday that the next two weeks will be critical to gauge demand for business travel.
The nature of business travel is changing as companies become accustomed to smaller travel budgets. Some trips are being replaced by video calls, perhaps permanently. Speculative sales trips could be especially easy for companies to cut.
Conventions now routinely offer a “hybrid” format with an option to stay behind and watch online — although that means missing the hallway conversations and other opportunities to network.
Standard & Poor’s said this week that many convention center operators are running summer and fall schedules similar to those in 2019, but a recession or new COVID-19 variant are still risks.
Vasu Raja, the chief commercial officer at American Airlines, said demand has dropped for one-day business trips in which someone leaves in the morning and flies home that evening.
“But interestingly, we’ve seen more demand for blended trips where somebody leaves on a Thursday from Dallas to go to New York, they don’t return on the Friday — they stay through the weekend and they come back on Sunday,” he said. Sometimes a spouse goes with them, he added.
Business travel is big business worldwide. The Global Business Travel Association estimates that it was worth more than $1.4 trillion in 2019, then plummeted by more than half each of the next two years. The trade group estimates that after being hindered by the omicron variant early this year, business travel will hit $933 billion in 2022 — still 35% below the pre-pandemic mark.
The widespread availability of vaccines and better treatment of COVID-19 — along with relaxation of mandatory quarantines and other travel restrictions — have boosted leisure and corporate travel. However, travel is now threatened by deteriorating economic conditions including surging inflation and labor shortages. New COVID-19 variants remain a concern among travel managers, particularly in Asia.
The cost of travel is expected to keep rising, putting pressure on corporate budgets. A recent report from travel-management company CWT predicted that fares paid by business travelers will rise nearly 50% this year and 8% next year, and hotel rates will rise 19% this year and 8% in 2023.
Most U.S. airlines reported profits for the April-through-June second quarter. For American and United, it was their first profitable quarter excluding government aid since the pandemic started, and they should be in the black for the third quarter, which ends with vacation-heavy July and August.
Business travel traditionally enjoys a peak in the spring and another in September and October. Airlines are about to find out whether that happens this year.
“There has been a lot of discussion about, yeah, business travel is coming back, and U.S. airline CEOs being quite bullish about it,” said Grant, the OAG analyst. “But the hard evidence now needs to come forward.” | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/business/ap-business/ap-airlines-count-on-business-travelers-to-keep-recovery-going/ | 2022-09-07T05:32:48Z | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/business/ap-business/ap-airlines-count-on-business-travelers-to-keep-recovery-going/ | false |
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The U.N. atomic watchdog agency urged Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday to establish a “nuclear safety and security protection zone” around the Zaporizhzhia power plant amid mounting fears the fighting could trigger a catastrophe in a country still scarred by the Chernobyl disaster.
“We are playing with fire, and something very, very catastrophic could take place,” Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, warned the U.N. Security Council, days after leading an inspection visit to the plant.
In a detailed report on its visit, the IAEA said shelling around the Europe’s largest nuclear power plant should stop immediately. “This requires agreement by all relevant parties to the establishment of a nuclear safety and security protection zone” around the plant, it said.
At the Security Council meeting, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres likewise demanded that Russian and Ukrainian forces commit to halting all military activity around the plant and agree on a “demilitarized perimeter.”
Guterres said this would include “a commitment by Russian forces to withdraw all military personnel and equipment from that perimeter and a commitment by Ukrainian forces not to move into it.”
Asked by reporters about establishing a demilitarized zone, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, said the proposal “is not serious.”
“The Ukrainians will immediately step in and ruin the whole thing. We’re defending, we’re protecting the station,” he said. “In fact, it is not militarized. There is no equipment at the station.”
Speaking to journalists later, Nebenizia said Russia wanted to see details of the proposals for demilitarized and protection zones.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country needs to look at the specifics of the protection-zone proposal and could support the measure if it envisions the demilitarization of the plant.
In his nightly address to the nation, Zelenskyy praised the IAEA report’s “clear references” to the presence of Russian troops and military equipment at the plant. He urged the agency to explicitly back Kyiv’s long-held position that Russian forces need to withdraw from the facility and its surroundings.
Shelling continued around the plant on Tuesday, a day after it was again knocked off Ukraine’s electrical grid and put in the precarious position of relying on its own power to run its safety systems.
Normally the plant relies on power from the outside to run the critical cooling systems that keep its reactors and its spent fuel from overheating. A loss of those systems could lead to a meltdown or other release of radiation.
“For radiation protection professionals, for the Ukrainian and even the Russian people, and those of central Europe, this is a very worrying time — and that’s an understatement,” said Paul Dorfman, a nuclear safety expert at the University of Sussex in England.
Russia and Ukraine accused each other of shelling Enerhodar, the city where the plant is situated. The Ukrainians also charged that the Kremlin’s forces fired on a town across the Dnieper River from the power station.
The Ukrainian mayor of Enerhodar, Dmytro Orlov, reported a powerful blast in the city around midday. The explosion left the city of 53,000 cut off from its power and water supplies. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the blast.
World leaders have called for the demilitarization of the plant, which has been occupied by Russian forces since the early days of the war but is being run by Ukrainian engineers.
In its report, the IAEA did not assign blame for the shelling at the plant. The agency has sought to keep out of the political fray.
It did note that on several occasions, the plant lost, fully or in part, its off-site power supply because of military activity in the area. The U.N. agency said a backup power supply line should be reestablished and asked that “all military activities that may affect the power supply systems end.”
In addition, the IAEA warned that the Ukrainian staff operating the plant under Russian military occupation is “under constant high stress and pressure, especially with the limited staff available” — a situation that could “lead to increased human error with implications for nuclear safety.”
It recommended that “an appropriate work environment, including family support,” be reestablished.
The IAEA also said the staff is not being given unrestricted access to some parts of the plant and must get permission from the Russian occupying forces to reach the cooling ponds where spent fuel is kept. Grossi expressed concern that that could hamper the staff’s response in an emergency.
The report said the team saw Russian military personnel, vehicles and equipment at various locations, including several military trucks on the floor of two turbine halls. It called for “the removal of vehicles from areas that could interfere with the operation of safety and security systems and equipment.”
Two inspectors from the IAEA mission remained at the plant, a decision welcomed by Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak.
“There are Russian troops now who don’t understand what’s happening, don’t assess the risks correctly,” Podolyak said. “There is a number of our workers there, who need some kind of protection, people from the international community standing by their side and telling (Russian troops): ‘Don’t touch these people, let them work.’”
On Monday, the IAEA said Ukrainian authorities reported that the plant’s last transmission line linking it to the nation’s power grid was disconnected to allow workers to put out a fire caused by shelling.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko told Ukrainian television: “Any repairs are impossible at this point — there are ongoing hostilities around the plant.”
In the meantime, the plant’s only remaining operational reactor will “generate the power the plant needs for its safety and other functions,” the IAEA said.
Mycle Schneider, an independent analyst in Canada on nuclear energy, said that means the plant was probably functioning in “island mode,” or producing electricity for its own operations.
“Island mode is a very shaky, unstable and unreliable way to provide continuous power supply to a nuclear plant,” Schneider said. He said that “many if not most islanding attempts fail.”
The Zaporizhzhia plant has diesel emergency backup generators to produce power to run the place if the outside source is disrupted. But Schneider said the plant’s operators may have decided to go into island mode first.
If the plant turns to the diesel generators as a last resort and they fail, the reactor and the spent fuel could rapidly overheat, he said.
Experts say the reactors at Zaporizhzhia are designed to withstand natural disasters and even plane crashes, but the unpredictable fighting has repeatedly threatened the cooling systems. Ukraine in 1986 was the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident, the explosion at Chernobyl.
Ukrainian intelligence reported that residents of Enerhodar were fleeing the city out of fear. Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russia should organize safe corridors for women and children living nearby.
“People en masse are reaching out to us for help. They are trying to leave the dangerous territory, but there are no corridors,” Vereshchuk told Ukrainian TV.
Meanwhile, gunfire and explosions were heard Tuesday afternoon in the Russian-occupied city of Berdyansk in southastern Ukraine, with Russia’s state-run media reporting that the car of the Kremlin-installed “city commandant” had been blown up. The RIA Novosti news agency said that the official, Artem Bardin, was in serious condition and that a shootout followed the assassination attempt.
The agency quoted Russian-backed local officials as saying they had launched a manhunt for the “Ukrainian saboteurs” responsible.

Ruby Bridges was a 6-year-old first-grader when she walked past jeering crowds of white people to become one of the first Black students at racially segregated schools in New Orleans more than six decades ago. Now, with teaching about race in America more complicated than it’s ever been, she’s authored a picture book about her experience for the youngest of readers.
Bridges, along with three other Black students at a different school, were the first to integrate what had been all-white schools in New Orleans in 1960.
“I Am Ruby Bridges,” featuring illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, goes on sale Tuesday. Published by Orchard Books, an imprint of Scholastic Inc., it’s aimed at readers as young as 4.
Complete with a glossary that includes the words “Supreme Court” and “law,” the book is an uplifting story about opportunities and kids being able to make a difference, Bridges said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“It’s a true reflection of what happened through my own eyes,” she said.
But books by or about Bridges have been challenged by conservatives in several school districts amid complaints over race-related teaching. Bridges said she hopes the new book winds up in elementary school libraries.
“I’ve been very, very fortunate because of the way I tell my story that my babies come in all shapes and colors, and my books are bestsellers, and maybe banned in schools,” she said. “But I think parents really want to get past our racial differences. They’re going to seek out those books.”
Bridges was born in 1954, the same year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. Southern school districts, including New Orleans, continued resisting integration for years.
But on Nov. 14, 1960, Bridges — carrying a plaid book satchel and wearing a white sweater — was escorted by four federal marshals past a taunting white crowd into segregated William Frantz Elementary School. The scene was made famous in the Norman Rockwell painting “The Problem We All Live With,” which hung in the White House near the Oval Office during the tenure of former President Barack Obama.
The book’s theme plays off the author’s name: “Ruby” is a precious stone, and “Bridges” are meant to bring people together. Told with a touch of humor from the vantage point of a first-grader, the book captures the wonder of Bridges’ experience — rather than just the scariness of that raucous first day at the school.
“It really looks like Mardi Gras to me, but they aren’t throwing any beads. What’s Mardi Gras without beads?” Bridges writes.
The only parade that day was out of the school. White parents immediately began withdrawing their children, so Bridges spent the entire year by herself with white teacher Barbara Henry, who is still alive and a “very best friend,” Bridges said. Henry’s acceptance and kindness during a fraught time taught her an important lesson, she said.
“That shaped me into a person that is not prejudiced at all. And I feel like that little girl is still inside of me, and that’s it’s my calling to make sure kids understand that you can’t look at someone and judge them,” Bridges said.
Elsewhere in New Orleans on the same day Bridges went to school, Gail Etienne, Leona Tate and Tessie Prevost entered the previously all-white McDonogh No. 19 elementary school. Last year, New Orleans held a weekend of events to remember Bridges and other women.
Bridges, a Mississippi native, still lives in metro New Orleans and has authored or co-authored five books. Two years she published “This Is Your Time,” which is intended for older children than her new book.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch agriculture minister has unexpectedly resigned, telling reporters he wasn’t the right person for the job following a tumultuous summer of protests by farmers over pollution regulations.
Henk Staghouwer, who held the position for only nine months, announced his decision Monday night. He had just returned from Brussels, where he negotiated an agreement with the European Commission to scrap a Dutch exemption to manure spreading limits.
The Netherlands, along with Denmark, Ireland and the Flanders region of Belgium, had been allowed to exceed caps on how much manure farmers could return to their fields because of the country’s comparatively small land area. But Brussels wants to phase out this dispensation because the Dutch are failing to meet EU water quality standards.
The country’s lucrative agriculture sector has been in crisis since a 2019 court ruling forced the government to slash emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia, which livestock produce. Thousands of farmers have staged protests, blockading cities with tractors and burning hay bales along highways.
A 60-year-old former baker, Staghouwer had been tasked with transitioning the sector away from intensive farming practices and buying out farmers to reduce total emissions.
The government allocated an extra 24.3 billion euros ($24.2 billion) to tackle the problem. Last week Staghouwer told the Cabinet that he would be unable to meet a mid-September deadline to present a plan for the transition.
“I respect his brave decision,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte wrote on Twitter, but others were less praising. Member of parliament Caroline van der Plas of The Farmer–Citizen Movement party (BBB) said “he was totally unsuitable” for the job.
Bart Kemp of farmers’ organization Agractie told Dutch public broadcaster NOS that Staghouwer was “a friendly man, but not a decisive person.”
Staghouwer’s role will temporarily be taken on by the former agricultural minister Carola Schouten. | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/international/ap-international/ap-dutch-farm-minister-resigns-after-protests-over-pollution/ | 2022-09-07T05:35:13Z | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/international/ap-international/ap-dutch-farm-minister-resigns-after-protests-over-pollution/ | false |
MADRID (AP) — The Spanish government on Tuesday passed a law giving hundreds of thousands of domestic cleaners and carers the right to unemployment benefits and other job protection measures for the first time.
Labor Minister Yolanda Díaz said the law would benefit more than 370,000 people, 95% of whom are women. She said the bill was intended to end discrimination against workers whose jobs have been undervalued for too long.
“If there is a job in our lives that is important it is that of caring and cleaning, and for that reason I think today the country is better off,” said Díaz.
The law will take effect in October.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced Monday that the bill would be passed at the Cabinet meeting Tuesday, saying it was to “put an end to unacceptable injustice.”
Díaz said the law follows long-standing recommendations from both the European Union and the International Labor Organization that people employed in private houses should have the same rights as other workers.
Díaz said that a third of the cleaners and carers were more than 50 years of age. More than 40% are foreigners, principally from Colombia, Romania and Honduras.
Unions and domestic worker collectives have long campaigned for the bill. They argued that most house cleaners and carers had no social or labor protection and often worked up to 60 hours a week. They could also be fired without notice or justification. | https://www.koin.com/news/international/ap-spain-gives-labor-benefits-to-domestic-cleaners-carers/ | 2022-09-07T05:35:50Z | https://www.koin.com/news/international/ap-spain-gives-labor-benefits-to-domestic-cleaners-carers/ | true |
CAIRO (AP) — Around 380 people were killed in tribal clashes in Sudan between January and August, most of them in the conflict-wracked Darfur region, the U.N. said Tuesday.
The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, or OCHA, said more than 430 people were injured during the same period, which has seen 224 violent incidents in 12 of the country’s 18 provinces.
The clashes – mostly between Arab and non-Arab tribes – have displaced around 177,340 people, OCHA said, further straining operations of aid agencies in the crisis-hit country.
West Darfur province was the hardest hit with 76 incidents that killed at least 145 people and wounded 156 others, it said.
The tally did not include 23 people, including two children, who were killed when tribal fighting renewed earlier this month in the Blue Nile Province, Save the Children charity said.
The violence, which erupted Sept. 1 and last for four days in the town of Roseires, also wounded 23 people, including 10 children, according to the charity.
Sudan, home to several long-running ethnic conflicts, has plunged into chaos since a military coup last year. The takeover upended the country’s short-lived transition to democracy after a popular uprising forced the removal of longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/international/ap-international/ap-un-tribal-clashes-in-sudan-kill-380-in-jan-aug-period/ | 2022-09-07T05:37:52Z | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/international/ap-international/ap-un-tribal-clashes-in-sudan-kill-380-in-jan-aug-period/ | false |
NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams, you might have heard, played what’s expected to be her last match at the U.S. Open. Rafael Nadal lost in the fourth round. Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer (more on them later) weren’t even in the tournament.
Those four players dominated, and were the main draws, in tennis for decades, collecting a total of 86 Grand Slam singles titles, each with at least 20. And so, as the quarterfinals began at Flushing Meadows on Tuesday without any member of that quartet present, it made sense to ask: Is this the end of an era?
The 36-year-old Nadal sounded a philosophical note about the topic after he was bounced by 24-year-old American Frances Tiafoe 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 on Monday.
“Some depart, others come and the world keeps going. It’s a natural cycle,” said Nadal, who noted that his wife is pregnant with their first child and so he isn’t sure when he will play next. “It’s always the same. The same one have been up there several years; others are coming and we will be leaving. It’s logical.”
Folks have been wondering — and, perhaps, worrying — about when someone new would emerge to take on the mantle in both women’s tennis and men’s tennis.
This U.S. Open, whether merely symbolic or truly portentous, offers a glimpse at the current and future states of the game. Of the 16 singles quarterfinalists across the women’s and men’s brackets, 15 never have won so much as one major championship anywhere (the exception is Iga Swiatek, a 21-year-old from Poland who is No. 1 on the WTA Tour and owns two French Open titles).
According to the U.S. Tennis Association, this is the first time in the professional era, which dates to 1968, that its Grand Slam event featured fewer than at least two past major title winners at this stage.
Looking just at the men’s bracket, none of the four quarterfinalists who will play Wednesday — No. 22 seed Tiafoe vs. No. 9 Andrey Rublev, and No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz vs. No. 11 Jannik Sinner — has even reached a major semifinal. Rublev, who turns 25 next month, is the oldest of the bunch.
“It’s cool,” Tiafoe said, “to see a new era.”
And consider: It’s been nearly 20 years since there were zero previous Slam champs in the quarterfinals of a major. That last happened at Wimbledon in 2003. Who won the trophy? Federer, claiming the first of his 20, which shattered the old men’s mark of 14 established by Pete Sampras, and now has been surpassed by Nadal’s 22 and Djokovic’s 21 (as well as Williams’ 23, the most for any tennis player in the pro era).
Federer, 41, hasn’t played since Wimbledon in July 2021 and had a series of operations on his right knee. He is slated to return at an event in Switzerland in October, and says he hopes to play at the All England Club in 2023, but not much is known beyond that about what he has left.
There is no reason to think Djokovic, 35, will not remain a Slam contender for some time — when he can get into the country hosting the tournament, that is. He did not get vaccinated against COVID-19 so he was kicked out of Australia in January and barred from entering the United States, too.
Djokovic and Nadal combined to win this year’s first three major titles and 15 of the past 17 overall. Add in the other member of the so-called Big Three, Federer, and it’s 20 of the last 22. Take it back further, and it’s 63 of 76. The only other men with more than one in that span are Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka, with three apiece.
Federer’s first triumph came less than a year after Sampras won the U.S. Open in what would be his final match.
“Before this generation, we lost another great generation. Obviously, there will not be a Rafa or a Roger or a Serena. We know that. There are always ups and downs. But there were great champions in the past and there will be again. I’m not worried. It’s part of sports. It’s part of life,” said Caroline Garcia, a 28-year-old from France who beat 18-year-old Floridian Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-4 in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night.
“Great champions leave and others arrive,” Garcia said. “You have to give young players the time to get to the top of the game and get mature and everything. The fans have to be ready for a new generation, as well.”
Whether or not TV executives and tournament ticket-sellers agree, that is a popular sentiment among current players: Tennis will be fine.
“Unfortunately for all of us,” Murray said, “the sport moves on.”

Representatives for the men’s and women’s U.S. national teams on Tuesday signed their historic collective bargaining agreements with U.S. Soccer, formally closing a long and sometimes acrimonious fight over equal pay.
The federation announced in May that it had struck separate agreements with the players’ unions on contracts that run through 2028. The new contracts include identical pay structures for appearances and tournament victories, revenue sharing and equitable distribution of World Cup prize money.
A signing ceremony was held following the women’s friendly match against Nigeria at Audi Field in Washington, with Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh among those on hand.
“I have to give a lot of credit to everyone involved, the women’s national team and their PA (players’ association), the men’s national team and their PA, and everyone at U.S. Soccer. There were so many people that helped, that worked together to make this happen,” said U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone, herself a former national team player. “And it wouldn’t get pushed over the line without the men jumping in and being on board with equal pay.”
After years of struggling for equitable pay and treatment, The U.S. women filed a federal gender discrimination against U.S. Soccer in 2019. The lawsuit drew international attention, prompting fans to chant “Equal Pay!” when the United States won the Women’s World Cup final in France.
In February, the two sides settled the lawsuit, with U.S. Soccer agreeing to pay the women $24 million. But the settlement was contingent on reaching new labor agreements with both teams.
The men had been playing under the terms of a CBA that expired in December 2018. The women’s CBA expired at the end of March, but talks continued after the lawsuit was settled.
The sticking point in negotiations was World Cup prize money, which is based on how far a team advances in soccer’s most prestigious tournament. While the U.S. women have been successful on the international stage with back-to-back World Cup titles, differences in FIFA prize money meant they took home far less than the men’s winners. American women received a $110,000 bonus for winning the 2019 World Cup; the U.S. men would have received $407,000 had they won in 2018.
The unions agreed to pool FIFA’s payments for the men’s World Cup later this year and next year’s Women’s World Cup, as well as for the 2026 and 2027 tournaments.
Because the men’s national team players are currently in league play, the CBA was signed by USNSTPA Executive Director Mark Levinstein. Women’s players Crystal Dunn, Becky Sauerbrunn and Sam Mewis also signed, along with USWNTPA Executive Director Becca Roux.
Sauerbrunn addressed the crowd.
“I want to thank all of you guys for the support, all the social media posts, the messages of support, the chants of `Equal Pay’ at really funny times, showing up at our games. You guys make the difference and you are truly, truly the best fans in the world,” she said.
Former players Kristine Lilly, Briana Scurry and Lori Lindsey also attended the on-field ceremony after the U.S. defeated Nigeria 2-1.
With the CBAs accepted, a federal judge in August gave preliminary approval approved the settlement. A hearing to finalize it is set for December.

Bank of Canada seen set for another jumbo hike in inflation fight
By Julie Gordon
OTTAWA, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The Bank of Canada is widely expected to announce another supersized interest rate increase on Wednesday as it battles to curb inflation at a near-four-decade high, with all eyes on the statement for any change to its aggressive stance.
It is the first rate decision since the central bank surprised with a 100 basis point hike in July and while the consensus is for a 75 basis point move this time, some forecasters are not ruling out another surprise to lift interest rates clearly into restrictive territory in one-go.
"If ... you've said that you're going to front-load these interest rate hikes to try and put a lid on inflation quickly, then there's a logical argument to just doing more all at once, rather than waiting," said Nathan Janzen, assistant chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada.
The Bank of Canada will release its decision at 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT), with 20 of 25 economists surveyed by Reuters eyeing an increase to 3.25% from 2.5%, to be followed by another hike in October to 3.5%, a level last seen in March 2008.
Money markets have fully priced in a 75 basis point move, with two more 25 basis point increases to end 2022 at 3.75%.
Canada's headline inflation rate eased to 7.6% in July from 8.1% in June, but it is still nearly four times the central bank's 2% target. And the closely watched core measures, on average, hit a fresh high in July.
Adding to this, Canada's jobless rate is a record low and wage growth is strong.
Still, a handful of economists say the Bank of Canada could surprise with a smaller 50 basis point move, after recent data showed economic growth slowing more quickly than expected. The bank has so far this year increased rates by 225 basis points, sending home sales and prices down.
With rates seen entering restrictive territory for the first time in two decades on Wednesday, the bigger question for some is whether the central bank will change its tone or even signal a pause.
"I see them indeed starting to tone down hawkish forward guidance a bit and return to a data-dependent stance," said Jimmy Jean, chief economist at Desjardins Group.
"I think this will be the last supersized hike and they might convey that sense, without ruling out more hiking," he added. "I don't think they can paint themselves in a corner on the terminal rate at this point."

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph all impressed Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin during the preseason with their respective accuracy.
If only the same could be said for whoever put together the team’s initial depth chart for the 2022 season.
While Tomlin announced Trubisky as the starter on Tuesday — a move telegraphed a day prior when Trubisky’s teammates voted him one of five captains for 2022 and the depth chart placed Trubisky’s name at the top — it will be Pickett and not Rudolph who will serve as Trubisky’s backup on Sunday when the Steelers open at defending AFC champion Cincinnati.
The chart released on Monday had Rudolph listed as the No. 2 before being corrected shortly before Tomlin spoke on Tuesday. Entering his 16th season, Tomlin laughed off the mix-up as a clerical error.
“The cut-and-paste component was the cut-and-paste component,” Tomlin said with a smile. “ I know you were hoping for a little bit more colorful explanation, but it is what it is.”
Tomlin and the Steelers are optimistic the depth chart won’t require much editing in the coming weeks following a solid preseason by Trubisky in which the 28-year-old gave the coaching staff little reason to consider turning to Pickett, the 20th overall pick in the draft, or Rudolph, who is now in his fifth season with the club.
“We’re just really comfortable with what Mitch has shown us,” Tomlin said. “He’s a guy that came to us with franchise quarterback experience if you will. He’s comfortable in those shoes.”
Trubisky has certainly acted the part over the past six months, immediately embracing his fresh start after spending 2021 backing up Josh Allen in Buffalo following four turbulent seasons in Chicago. He reached out to his new teammates shortly after signing an incentive-laden two-year contract in March, hosted skill position players at his house in Miami and hardly seemed bothered by the team’s decision to draft Pickett in late April.
And for all of the issues that cropped up during Trubisky’s tenure in Chicago — some of them well out of his control — he had a 29-21 record as a starter and twice led the Bears to the playoffs, all things that made Trubisky “very attractive” to a team that has been a postseason fixture for the majority of the past 50 years.
Pickett did his best to apply pressure, playing well during the preseason on his way to supplanting Rudolph as the No. 2.
Tomlin said Pickett’s learning curve accelerated during exhibition games, where he passed for 261 yards and three touchdowns without throwing an interception.
“I thought that he grew and grew at a really fast pace once we got in the stadiums,” Tomlin said. “And I also think it’s reasonable to expect that growth and development to continue as we push into the regular season.”
That development won’t include — at least at the moment — having Pickett on the field in certain packages, something other teams like San Francisco have done with rookie first-round quarterbacks.
At least Pickett will be in uniform. Rudolph — who is 8-5 as a starter — will be inactive after Tomlin said the team will not dress a third quarterback. Tomlin made it a point to praise Rudolph’s professionalism during the process and said the play of Rudolph, Pickett and Trubisky over the past six weeks helped a young offense get up to speed quickly.
“I thought all three of our quarterbacks represented themselves, us really, well through this process,” he said. “I thought they made plays. I thought they moved their units. I thought they took care of the football. So that made the (final decision) a challenging one.”
NOTE: Tomlin declined to offer specifics when asked if Pro Bowl WR Diontae Johnson (left shoulder) would be available for the opener. Johnson injured the shoulder while making a catch in the preseason finale against Detroit on Aug. 28.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Major League Baseball Players Association asked management Tuesday to voluntarily accept the union as the bargaining agent for minor leaguers.
Bruce Meyer, the union’s deputy executive director, sent a letter to MLB Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem that claimed a majority of minor leaguers had signed authorization cards.
The MLBPA, which reached its first collective bargaining agreement for major leaguers in 1968, launched the minor league unionization drive on Aug. 28. Players with minor league contracts, who earn as little as $400 weekly during the six-month season, would become their own bargaining unit within the MLBPA.
If MLB does not voluntarily accept the union, signed cards from 30% of the 5,000 to 6,5000 minor leaguers in the bargaining unit would allow the union to file a petition to the National Labor Relations Board asking for a union authorization election. A majority vote in an election would authorize union representation.
“Minor league players have made it unmistakably clear they want the MLBPA to represent them and are ready to begin collective bargaining in order to positively affect the upcoming season,” MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said in a statement.
The union did not say what percentage of minor leaguers had signed authorization cards.
MLB did not immediately comment on the letter.
Players with major league contracts average more than $4 million and have a $700,000 minimum salary while in the big leagues. Their minimum is $57,200 while on option to the minor leagues, with a first major league contract and $114,100 if a second or later big league contract.
MLB raised weekly minimum salaries for minor leaguers in 2021 to $400 at rookie and short-season levels, $500 at Class A, $600 at Double-A and $700 at Triple-A. For players on option, the minimum is $57,200 per season for a first big league contract and $114,100 for later big league contracts.
In addition, MLB this year began requiring teams to provide housing for most minor leaguers.
Major League Baseball and lawyers for minor leaguers agreed this year to a $185 million settlement of an eight-year-old federal lawsuit alleging violations of minimum wage laws, a deal that may be finalized next year. An early estimate is that perhaps 23,000 players could share roughly $120 million with an average payment of $5,000 to $5,500, and their lawyers will split $55.5 million.

Enzo Ferrari had no desire to sell road cars with his company’s name on a badge throughout the company’s beginnings in the 1940s. However, he quickly found it was the best business case to fund his dream of a full-blown racing organization: Scuderia Ferrari.
With momentum building on the racetrack, the Ferrari 250 GT came to life in 1959 and built a reputation as the epitome of grand tourer and track car. It was meant to be the sports car for every activity and it marked an important step in the history of Ferrari road cars that took the best bits from race cars and wrapped them in a gorgeous, luxurious package.
At the time, Ferrari was only building vehicle chassis with a few coachbuilders designing the bodies. By this point, Pinin Farina was Mr. Ferrari’s preferred coachbuilder. Of the six chasses Ferrari engineered for the 250 GT, four were from Pinin Farina and two came from Bertone. No matter the coachbuilder, each of the 166 cars built were stunning creations and often tailored exclusively to a buyer’s desires.
The Pinin Farina bodies were particularly beautiful. Their fastback (berlinetta) body style cut just the right line and fit perfectly with the short 94.5-inch wheelbase and two-seat layout. The bodies used aluminum for the doors, hood, and trunk lid, but a few cars had all-aluminum bodies. Bertone also made factory-backed bodies, though those cars sported a very different look, especially up front.
The bodies rested on a development of Ferrari’s chassis. It used twin A-arms and coil springs up front and a live rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs and trailing arms. It also featured disc brakes at all four corners, which was quite advanced for the era. In keeping with the car’s road and track persona, buyers could choose axle ratios ranging from 3.44:1 to 4.57:1 and interiors that were stripped or clad in leather.
A Columbo overhead-cam 3.0-liter V-12 sat in the front of the car under the hood, and it was hooked to a 4-speed manual transmission. In Testa Rossa and GTO guises, the lightweight (for the time) engine made 296 hp, but it made 260-280 hp in the 250 GTs. The engine could launch the car from 0-60 mph in as little as 6.5 seconds and push it to a top speed around 150 mph. The V-12 took the 250 GT to the grandest races, and most importantly, to victory.
The 250 GT Ferrari cemented the company’s rightful place as a force to be reckoned with on race day. Subsequent cars would need to be developed specifically for the road or track as racing would become too competitive for the two-way car. The 250 GT also created a lineage that still exists today of front-engined V-12-powered Ferrari road cars.
The 250 GT did more than help define Ferrari in the decades to come. Famously, the car was Feruccio Lamborghini’s punching bag. When Lamborghini complained of reliability issues, the tractor maker decided to build his own car and he took some of Ferrari’s own engineers to help build them.
So, yes, we have much to give thanks for the 250 GT. Without it, the Ferrari grand tourer as we know it may not exist, and neither would the modern-day Lamborghini.

Steve Bannon expects to face new criminal charge in NY
NEW YORK (AP) - Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he expects to be charged soon in a state criminal case in New York City.
Bannon, 68, plans to turn himself in on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person insisted on anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The Washington Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that the state criminal case would resemble an earlier attempted federal prosecution, in which Bannon was accused of duping donors who gave money to fund a wall on the U.S. southern border.
That federal case ended abruptly, before trial, when Trump pardoned Bannon.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment late Tuesday.
In a statement, Bannon said District Attorney Alvin Bragg “has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election,” accusing the Democratic prosecutor of targeting him because he and his radio show are popular among Trump’s Republican supporters.
“The SDNY did the exact same thing in August 2020 to try to take me out of the election,” Bannon said, referring to his arrest months before Trump’s re-election loss.
Federal agents pulled Bannon from a luxury yacht off the Connecticut coast and arrested him on charges he pocketed more than $1 million in wall donations.
“It didn’t work then, it certainly won’t work now,” the former White House strategist said. “This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system.”
Bannon, who had pleaded not guilty, was dropped from the federal case when Trump pardoned him on his last day in office in January 2021.
Two other men involved in the “We Build the Wall” project pleaded guilty in April. They had been scheduled to be sentenced this week, but that was recently postponed to December. A third defendant’s trial ended in a mistrial in June after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict.
A president can only pardon federal crimes, not state offenses, but that doesn’t mean state-level prosecutors have carte blanche to try similar cases.
In 2019, then-Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. brought state mortgage fraud charges against Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort in what was widely seen as an attempt to hedge against a possible pardon.
But a judge threw the case out on double jeopardy grounds, finding that it was too similar to a federal case that resulted in Manafort’s conviction. (Manafort was later pardoned by Trump).
While Manafort’s New York case was pending, New York eased its double jeopardy protections, ensuring that state-level prosecutors could pursue charges against anyone granted a presidential pardon for similar federal crimes.
Bannon’s case differs because he was dropped from the federal case in its early stages. In most cases, double jeopardy is only a factor when a person has been convicted or acquitted of a crime.
In another case not covered by Trump’s pardon, Bannon was convicted in July on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October and faces up to two years in federal prison.

CHICAGO (AP) — Hayden Wesneski allowed two hits over five shutout innings of relief to win his major league debut, and the Chicago Cubs took advantage of 11 walks to beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-3 Tuesday night for their second win in nine games.
Wesneski (1-0), a 24-year-old right-hander acquired from the New York Yankees on Aug. 1 for reliever Scott Effross, struck out eight and walked one in front of about 20 family members and friends from Texas.
“This was special,” Wesneski said. “I couldn’t have planned it any better. My friends and family are here. I threw really well. I don’t know how much more I could ask for.”
He relieved Wade Miley, who returned from a shoulder injury to make his first start since June 10. Wesneski retired 13 of the first 14 batters around a walk before Spencer Steer doubled with one out in the ninth and Aristides Aquino singled. Wesneski struck out Jake Fraley and Jose Barrero to end the game.
"I’m just the opener,” Miley said.
Wesneski threw at up to 95.7 mph, mixing 26 curveballs and five changeups among 61 pitches and getting four of his eight swings and misses on curves. He was 6-7 with a 3.51 ERA in 23 starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and 0-2 with a 5.66 ERA in five appearances at Triple-A Iowa.
“I took deep breaths,” Wesneski said. “I have a spot in Wrigley Field where I look at and found earlier in the day. When things were going a little sideways, I looked at it and said, ‘OK, let’s get locked in’ and went from there. It was the top of the left field foul pole.”
Seiya Suzuki tied the score 3-3 with a two-run homer in the fifth off Justin Dunn. Nick Madrigal poked a two-run single off Fernando Cruz in the sixth that landed in front of right fielder Aristides Aquino. Madrigal’s hit followed Nico Hoerner’s leadoff single against Ian Gibalt (1-1) and Christopher Morel’s walk off Relver Sanmartín.
Chicago scored three runs on batters who reached on walks and another with a batter who was hit by a pitch. Cincinnati’s 11 walks were its most since Aug. 8, 2018.
“We pitched around some of the walks,” Reds manager David Bell said. “Justin did a nice job getting outs but when you walk that many guys, throw that many pitches, it’s going to catch up to you. That’s what happened.”
All of the Cubs’ runs scored with two outs.
Bell was ejected by plate umpire Carlos Torres with two outs in the top of the ninth after complaining about Torres’ strike zone. It was Bell’s third ejection this season and the 19th of his career.
Cincinnati (53-80), which had four hits, is two losses from ensuring a losing record. The Reds began the year trying to string together three straight winning seasons for the first time since four in a row from 1985-88.
Miley, who missed 76 games because of a left shoulder strain, allowed three runs — two earned — and two hits in four innings. He struck out six, walked two and generated 14 swings and misses.
Ian Happ homered in the first, his 26th homer against the Reds.
Kyle Farmer’s homer extended the Reds’ lead to 3-1 in the third
Suzuki, who hit his 11th homer, is batting .349 (22 for 63) with five doubles and two homers in his last 18 games. Suzuki also walked with the bases-loaded in the seventh.
ZOBRIST
Ben Zobrist, a member of the Cubs’ 2016 championship team, is a team ambassador, and President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer would like to see Zobrist play a larger role on the baseball side.
“There’s a lot of value to having him around,” Hoyer said. “We haven’t talked about him in a specific role, but I’d love to have him in spring training and have him around the guys. It is a perspective and a career, a work ethic that’s unique.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: CF Nick Senzel was scratched from the starting lineup because of a right ankle sprain and was listed as day-to-day. … RHP Graham Ashcraft (right biceps soreness) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to throw live batting practice Friday.
Cubs: RHP Keegan Thompson (low back tightness) threw a bullpen session. … RHP Adbert Alzolay (right shoulder strain) allowed one run on three hits in three innings at Jacksonville in a rehab start for Triple-A Iowa.
TRANSACTIONS
Reds: OF Albert Almora Jr. was activated from the 10-day IL after recovering from a bruised right shoulder. INF Colin Moran was designated for assignment.
Cubs: C Willson Contreras (left ankle sprain) was placed on the 10-day IL retroactive to Sept. 2. “It’s hard to play at 70-80% on something like that,” manager David Ross said. … LHP Justin Steele (low back strain) was placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to Sept. 2. Steele (119 innings) and Thompson (104 1/3) have set career-highs in innings and want to return to finish the season. “Neither is an injury we’re concerned about, but we don’t want to ramp them too quickly and throw them out there for no reason,” Ross said. … OF Michael Hermosillo (left quad strain) was activated from the 60-day IL. … RHP Luke Farrell, Nicholas Padilla and Kervin Castro were designated for assignment.
UP NEXT
Reds: LHP Mike Minor (3-10, 5.98) starts Wednesday. Minor allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings in a 5-3 loss to the Cardinals Aug. 31.
Cubs: RHP Javier Assad (0-0, 0.90) hasn’t allowed a run in starts against the Cardinals on Aug. 23 and the Blue Jays on Aug. 29.

Derbyshire Police investigate 1970s car in drained pool
By Matthew Barlow & Jennifer Harby
BBC News
- Published
Two cars - one dating from the 1970s - are being investigated by the police after being discovered at the bottom of a large pool.
Water levels at Errwood Pond in the Goyt Valley, Derbyshire, have lowered considerably during the summer drought.
Derbyshire Police said a blue Ford Granada from the 1970s and a red Fiat Punto, which is believed to have been stolen, had appeared.
The force has asked for anybody with information to come forwards.
'Hidden'
David Stirling, a resident from nearby Buxton, told BBC Radio Derby the pool, which is on Old Goyt Lane, contained about half the amount of water it usually held.
He said: "We were very surprised when the cars began to appear - they have been hidden down there for so long.
"I remember my dad used to have a Ford Granada - it had clearly been down there for some time.
"There has been historically quite a lot of crime in the valley because it's quite hidden."
He said four rusty safes had also emerged in the pool, which was created to power steam-powered winches on the former High Peak and Cromford Railway line.
Derbyshire Police said all of the objects had now been removed by recovery specialists and were being investigated.
"The first, a blue Ford Granada from the 1970s, was found on 26 July," a spokesperson said.
They said inquiries were still ongoing to trace the vehicle and understand the circumstances that led to it being in the water.
"The second vehicle, a red Fiat Punto, was recovered from the same body of water on August 29. The car is believed to have been stolen and work is ongoing to contact the owner," they added.
"Anyone with any information... is asked to contact the force."

BASRA, Iraq — What happens when the land dries up?
The United Nations describes Iraq as the fifth-most-vulnerable country to climate change. Temperatures have increased by 1.8 degrees Celsius (3.2 degrees Fahrenheit) in three decades, according to Berkeley Earth, well above the global average, and in the summers, the mercury now regularly hits 50 Celsius (122 Fahrenheit). The heat is burning crops and desiccating marshes. As upstream dams in Turkey and Iran weaken the flows of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, a salty tide is creeping north from the Persian Gulf, poisoning the land — and the jobs it once created.
In Iraq, especially the south, the changing climate is forcing families to sell off their livestock and pack up for urban centers such as the region’s largest city, Basra, in search of jobs and better services.
But they find little welcome here.
When asked recently about the new arrivals, one Basra shopkeeper frowned in disapproval. “We don’t get involved with those people,” he said.
Embedded in Basra’s troubles is a warning: As hotter, more-crowded cities become the future of a warming world, a lack of preparedness will only exacerbate the discontent already fraying the social fabric.
Basra was once one of Iraq’s jewels, a thriving trade hub where the 14th-century traveler Ibn Battuta observed: “No place on earth excels it in quantity of palm groves.” More recently, its freshwater canals and elegant walkways drew comparisons to Venice.
But decades of U.S.-backed sanctions and war, combined with the weight of corruption and neglect, have left Basra’s infrastructure unable to adequately support the 2 million people the city already houses — let alone the rising tide of newcomers.
Oil powers Iraq’s economy, and Basra is at the heart of where most of it is produced, but little of that money seems to trickle down to its inhabitants. Swaths of the city lack streetlights or paved roads. In 2018, the water supply was so polluted that it became toxic.
According to official figures, Basra province has a population of over 3 million — an increase of at least 20 percent in 10 years. And most of that growth has been in its urban areas.
Iraqi authorities have neither tried to connect a growing constellation of informal settlements in the cities to any service grid, nor taken meaningful steps to address the water mismanagement and scarcity that are causing the migration.
For longtime residents of the swelling cities, new arrivals often represent an extra strain on the already faltering infrastructure. Politicians have seized on blaming “infiltrators” — rather than their own failures — for the mess.
Across rural sweeps of the south, families say their migration is existential: Any chance of survival here is evaporating with the water. In a survey by the Norwegian Refugee Council last year, nearly 40 percent of farmers across the country reported an almost total loss of their wheat crop.
With each passing summer, families try new things to buy a few more years on their land. Abandoning one crop to focus on the survival of another, or last-ditch attempts to grow new ones altogether. In the town of Abu al-Khaseeb on a recent day, Malik Ali Abdulkareem crumbled a husk from his beloved okra plants between his fingers as he nodded toward a pile of metal carcasses on the river shore.
“These boats are how we’re making money now,” he said. “We cut these up and we sell them as scrap, but the money …” he trailed off. “Really, it’s nothing. I have 16 people to feed.”
His sunburned arms had been further scorched by the cutting torch and one friend had lost a finger. The men also knew that their supply of broken ships wasn’t endless.
Social media has been awash with photos showing water buffaloes lying dead on the cracked mudflats of southern Iraq’s dried-out marshlands, and Abu al-Khaseeb’s farm has been no exception. Many here have lost animals.
“There’s no future here,” farmer Ammar Jassim Mohammed said in a tone more exasperated than his friend’s. “Everyone is leaving.”
Accurate migration figures for the city of Basra are hard to come by, because in many ways, the newcomers live in the shadows: Their makeshift housing is built on parched land cut off from any water or electricity services, and aid groups say they are less likely to have access to the city’s schools or health infrastructure.
In one recent survey, researchers from the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration found that 12 percent of residents were newcomers who had settled in Basra over the past decade, mostly because of water scarcity and a lack of economic opportunities. The number is even higher in other southern Iraqi cities, such as Shatrah and Amarah.
Although measures such as better irrigation management, a hydraulic dam and a water treatment plant have been proposed to alleviate the region’s water crisis, officials say there aren’t enough funds.
“The ministries are neither serious nor fast. We’ve been discussing that dam since 2009,” said Dergham al-Ajwadi, deputy governor of Basra province.
Figures compiled by the South Basra Environmental Directorate suggest that water degradation in the province cost Iraq $400 million in lost animals, palm trees and crops in 2018 alone.
And as temperatures keep climbing, the flight from the countryside is only accelerating.
“The families bring blocks and plastic ceilings and then they build,” said Kadhim Atshan, who oversees Dour al-Qiyada, a sprawling shantytown in Basra city built by waves of migration. “But then they find there aren’t jobs, there’s no services. They have to rely on themselves.”
On a baking hot night in the city’s densely packed Hayyaniyah district, 45-year-old Raed Awdeh was at a loss as to how. He said he had moved to Basra the week before, but although his family had a roof over their heads, they had no idea what came next. “We don’t know how to settle,” he said, picking nervously at his thumbnail. The family of six would depend on his ability to find construction work, but he’d already suffered heatstroke on the job.
“We’re suffocating,” he said. “I’m finding work maybe one day out of seven. How are we going to manage here?”
But all across town, longtime residents had the same worries.
Qusay Ali, 40, said he had worked for the state oil company for three months before his job, along with hundreds of others, was terminated.
Now bills were mounting and he could barely afford to feed his family, even after pulling two daughters out of school. Hoping to get his job back, the father of five had joined protests outside Basra’s state-run oil company at 5 a.m. each day — a last resort.
“What do you expect from a man who has told his girls they can’t go to school anymore, a man who can’t even pay for an operation that his father really needs,” Ali said, in the sweltering old yellow-brick house his family shares with four others.
As he saw it, migration was only making the situation worse, and he felt that the slow tide of arrivals was changing his city. “Their mind-set is different; we don’t know how to deal with them,” he said. “They don’t respect the laws here.”
Decades of government neglect in rural areas, particularly in the education sector, have left many of the migrants illiterate. Farmers who grew up working the land often struggle to access the city’s formal labor market and instead rely on temporary employment as construction workers or truck drivers, or hawking goods from carts in the street. And their habits and attitudes clash with those of their urban cousins.
The informal areas where they live also experience higher rates of crime, according to security officials. The head of Basra’s investigative court, Ammar Shaker Fajr, estimated that about 60 percent of the drug cases it received involved arrests in the city’s new shantytowns.
As the issue of newcomers grows more contentious, political leaders in southern Iraq have started blaming the city’s crime rate — as well as other problems — on its migrants.
In 2018, the governor of Basra province, Asaad Abdulameer al-Eidani, gained popularity by barring legal residency in the city without proof of homeownership. In the years since, his pronouncements have sounded a steady drumbeat of hostility toward the newcomers.
That rhetoric has provided an escape valve of sorts for the city’s politicians, who are increasingly unpopular. A few years ago, huge demonstrations decrying corruption and unemployment were crushed with deadly force. Since then, every summer has brought scattered daily protests over authorities’ failure to provide basic services.
“Local politicians use the flow of immigrants to justify their poor governance,” said Maha Yassin, a climate researcher at the Netherlands-based Clingendael Institute, who is from Basra.
When a raid against an alleged drug dealer turned deadly in the summer of 2019, Eidani vowed that the city would demolish “every home that harbors a criminal from outside the province,” and said the action was for “the people of Basra.”
“All the crimes in the city are being done by people who immigrated,” he said in televised comments. “We need to stand against it.”
But Yassin echoed what other officials in the province have long argued: that the marginalization of the people in the city’s informal areas is pushing up the crime rate.
“This is how you drive these people into criminality, by discriminating,” she said. “They move to irregular neighborhoods where there’s no proper public services and no employment. And then social issues will emerge.”
In Dour al-Qiyada, Atshan, the community leader, worried that the authorities’ stance was making things worse.
“When they call them ‘infiltrators,’ the impact feels as bad as racial discrimination,” he said. “No one provides us with anything. Trust me, everyone here is just trying to make a living.”
When a heat wave forced the shutdown of Basra’s power grid in August, the homes of newcomers and longtime residents alike were plunged into darkness as millions spent sleepless nights drenched in sweat. At midnight, it was still 100 degrees. The children were crying in Ali’s cramped house, he said, and relations among the adults felt tense. In Awdeh’s shantytown, the heat seemed to smother every breath he took.
Authorities blamed extreme heat and surging demand for the outages. But even when the grid was working again, residents of the home of Iraq’s lucrative energy industry were still relying mostly on private generators that belched fumes as they powered the bare minimum: weak fans and white lights that flickered on the unsteady current.
Asked about plans to upgrade the grid, officials did not respond to requests for comment. But residents said that without improvements, they fear what future summers will bring.
Recently, as heat shimmered on the city’s asphalt, a motorized rickshaw edged slowly out of a makeshift neighborhood and onto gridlocked roads. On the canvas of the rickshaw’s cabin, the owner had summed up his situation.
“My dreams in this country are being lived by a dog in Europe,” the neat white lettering read.

Re-start: QB Jacoby Brissett, Browns in good place together
By TOM WITHERS

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Jacoby Brissett could have picked other teams, definitely more stable places to play. He wanted to be Cleveland. The veteran quarterback chose the Browns, who will count on him to keep them competitive while starter Deshaun Watson serves his 11-game NFL suspension. Brissett has been an emergency starter before with New England and Indianapolis, and he’s convinced that experience will serve him well. Brissett’s in a better place emotionally after battling mental health issues in the past. He said therapy has helped and the 29-year-old has fewer dark days than in the past. | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/09/06/re-start-qb-jacoby-brissett-browns-in-good-place-together/ | 2022-09-07T06:35:38Z | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/09/06/re-start-qb-jacoby-brissett-browns-in-good-place-together/ | true |

Harold Lewis has been fighting drug addiction for years, but only recently started thinking recovery could be fun.
The 59-year-old former cook earned small prizes — candy, gum, gift cards, sunglasses and headphones — for attending meetings and staying in treatment for opioid addiction during a 12-week program in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
“Recovery should be fun because you’re getting your life back," Lewis said.
For an increasing number of Americans, addiction treatment involves not only hard work, but also earning rewards — sometimes totaling $500 — for negative drug tests or showing up for counseling or group meetings.
There's brain science behind the method, which is known as contingency management. And barriers to wider adoption of reward programs, such as government concerns about fraud, are starting to crumble.
“We’re in a state of desperation where we need to pull out all the stops and this is something that works," said Dr. James Berry, who directs addiction medicine at West Virginia University.
U.S. overdose deaths climbed to a record high during the pandemic. While opioids are mostly to blame, deaths involving stimulants such as methamphetamines also are climbing. Often, people die with multiple drugs in their system.
Medication can help people quit abusing opioids, but stimulant addiction has no effective medicine. Rewards programs — especially when the dollar value increases with consistent performance — are widely recognized as the most effective treatment for people addicted to stimulants.
Since 2011, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has used the method with 5,700 veterans. Rewards are vouchers the vets redeem at their local canteen. Over the years, 92% of the urine tests done on these veterans have been negative for drugs, said Dominick DePhilippis of the VA's substance use disorders program.
When done right, reward programs can be a bridge from the difficult days of early recovery to a better life, said Carla Rash, associate professor of medicine at UConn Health, who studies the method. It helps people make better decisions in the moment, tipping the scale when the immediate rewards of using drugs are difficult to resist.
The rewards can “provide a little bit of recognition for people’s efforts," Rash said.
For Casey Thompson, 41, of Colville, Washington, the first month after quitting meth was the worst. Without stimulants, he felt burned out and exhausted.
“Even standing up, you could fall asleep,” Thompson said.
Earning gift cards for passing drug tests helped, he said. During his 12-week program, he received about $500 in Walmart gift cards he spent on food, shirts, socks and shampoo. He's a trained welder and is looking for work after a recent layoff.
“I’m a totally different person than I was,” said Thompson. ”I was already planning on being clean, so it was just extra.”
More than 150 studies over 30 years have shown rewards work better than counseling alone for addictions including cocaine, alcohol, tobacco and, when used alongside medications, opioids.
The method is grounded in brain science. Psychologists have known for years that people who prefer small, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones are vulnerable to addiction. They may vow to quit each morning and start using again by afternoon.
And neuroscientists have learned from imaging studies how addiction takes over the brain’s reward center, hijacking dopamine pathways and robbing people of the ability to enjoy simple pleasures.
“It’s very much using that same dopamine reward system that’s the basis for addictions to promote healthy behavior change,” said psychologist Stephen Higgins of the University of Vermont, who pioneered the method in 1991. His recent research shows it helps pregnant women quit smoking and improves the health of their newborns.
“Biologically, the use of substances lights up the same part of the brain that is lit up when a person wins the lottery, falls in love or experiences something really positive and exciting," said psychologist Sara Becker of Northwestern University.
The same pathway is lit up if someone wins a reward.
“That’s part of what’s powerful about these programs,” Becker said.
Support has never been stronger. The Biden administration backs the method in its National Drug Control Strategy. This fall, California will launch a pilot program designed to reward $10 gift cards passing drug tests for stimulants. Oregon will use tax revenue from the state’s legal marijuana industry to pay for similar incentives. Montana launched a program in March using a federal grant.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is working to revise its guidance on how much government grant money can be spent on prizes, rewards and cash cards. Researchers say the current $75 limit per patient is arbitrary and ineffective and should be raised to $599.
The method “is a widely studied and proven intervention that has been successful in treating people with a variety of substance use disorders," said Dr. Yngvild K. Olsen, who directs the U.S. government's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
Reward programs can be low tech — slips of paper drawn from a fish bowl — or high tech — using “smart” debit cards programmed so they cannot be spent at liquor stores or converted to cash at an ATM.
Maureen Walsh is a 54-year-old Philadelphia flower shop owner who stays off opioids with help from a smartphone app called DynamiCare. When she passes a saliva test, she earns cash on a smart card. She uses the money to treat herself to a new pair of shoes or make a donation to a favorite cause.
“The reward to me was knowing that I was clean and the test showed it,” Walsh said.
For Lewis, the Connecticut man in recovery from opioids, a weekly prize drawing became a way for him to bring home gifts for his mother.
“The prizes make me feel good," he said. “But the prizes make my mother feel great. I’m talking Tony the Tiger GREAT!”
On a recent summer day, Lewis had earned the chance to pull 10 slips — 10 chances to win prizes, including a tablet computer. The big prize eluded him, but he won six small prizes and $20 in grocery gift cards.
“Recovery is just not all balled-up fists and clutched teeth, you know what I mean?" Lewis said later. “It can be fun, where you can exhale and you can breathe and get excited — because you don’t know what you’re going to win today.”

Steve Bannon expects to face new criminal charge in NY
NEW YORK (AP) - Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he expects to be charged soon in a state criminal case in New York City.
Bannon, 68, plans to turn himself in on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person insisted on anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The Washington Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that the state criminal case would resemble an earlier attempted federal prosecution, in which Bannon was accused of duping donors who gave money to fund a wall on the U.S. southern border.
That federal case ended abruptly, before trial, when Trump pardoned Bannon.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment late Tuesday.
In a statement, Bannon said District Attorney Alvin Bragg “has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election,” accusing the Democratic prosecutor of targeting him because he and his radio show are popular among Trump’s Republican supporters.
“The SDNY did the exact same thing in August 2020 to try to take me out of the election,” Bannon said, referring to his arrest months before Trump’s re-election loss.
Federal agents pulled Bannon from a luxury yacht off the Connecticut coast and arrested him on charges he pocketed more than $1 million in wall donations.
“It didn’t work then, it certainly won’t work now,” the former White House strategist said. “This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system.”
Bannon, who had pleaded not guilty, was dropped from the federal case when Trump pardoned him on his last day in office in January 2021.
Two other men involved in the “We Build the Wall” project pleaded guilty in April. They had been scheduled to be sentenced this week, but that was recently postponed to December. A third defendant’s trial ended in a mistrial in June after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict.
A president can only pardon federal crimes, not state offenses, but that doesn’t mean state-level prosecutors have carte blanche to try similar cases.
In 2019, then-Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. brought state mortgage fraud charges against Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort in what was widely seen as an attempt to hedge against a possible pardon.
But a judge threw the case out on double jeopardy grounds, finding that it was too similar to a federal case that resulted in Manafort’s conviction. (Manafort was later pardoned by Trump).
While Manafort’s New York case was pending, New York eased its double jeopardy protections, ensuring that state-level prosecutors could pursue charges against anyone granted a presidential pardon for similar federal crimes.
Bannon’s case differs because he was dropped from the federal case in its early stages. In most cases, double jeopardy is only a factor when a person has been convicted or acquitted of a crime.
In another case not covered by Trump’s pardon, Bannon was convicted in July on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October and faces up to two years in federal prison.

BEIJING – The death toll in this week’s earthquake in western China has jumped to 74 with another 26 people still missing, the government reported Wednesday, as frustration rose with uncompromising COVID-19 lockdown measures that prevented residents from leaving their buildings after the shaking.
The 6.8 magnitude quake that struct just after noon Monday in Sichuan province caused extensive damage to homes in the Ganze Tibetan Autonomous Region and shook buildings in the provincial capital of Chengdu, whose 21 million citizens are under a strict COVID-19 lockdown.
Following the quake, police and health workers refused to allow anxious residents of apartment buildings out, adding to anger over the government’s strict “zero-COVID policy” mandating lockdowns, quarantines and other restrictions, even while the rest of the world has largely reopened.
Footage circulating online showed residents of the central city of Wuhan, where the pandemic is believed to have originated in late 2019, chanting “lift the lockdown, refuse to be tested" at police.
The restrictions have prompted protests online and in person, rare in China's tightly controlled society where the all-powerful Communist Party can easily sentence people to months or years in prison on loosely defined charges such as “picking quarrels and provoking trouble."
In all, 65 million Chinese in 33 cities, including seven provincial capitals, are currently under varying levels of lockdown. The government is also discouraging domestic travel during the Mid-Autumn Festival on Saturday and the weeklong National Holiday at the start of October.
Outbreaks have been reported in 103 cities, the highest since the early days of the pandemic in early 2020.
Monday's quake was centered in a mountainous area of Luding county, which sits on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau roughly 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Chengdu, where tectonic plates grind up against each other.
China’s deadliest earthquake in recent years was a 7.9 magnitude quake in 2008 that killed nearly 90,000 people in Sichuan. The temblor devastated towns, schools and rural communities outside Chengdu, leading to a years-long effort to rebuild with more resistant materials. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/09/07/china-earthquake-deaths-rise-to-74-as-lockdown-anger-grows/ | 2022-09-07T07:20:43Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/09/07/china-earthquake-deaths-rise-to-74-as-lockdown-anger-grows/ | true |
Sometimes a recipe makes a bold claim. I want to try it because it sounds good, but I end up cooking it with a bit of a cynicism — a "we'll see ..."
In her new cookbook, "The Quick & Easy Spiced Nice Cookbook," Farrah Jalanbo wrote that these air fryer chicken legs taste like they have been "slow cooked in a smoker" — and, oh, goodness, she's right.
The legs — a thrifty cut of the bird — are pierced and rubbed with a sweet and spicy paste of oil and honey whisked with Cajun seasoning, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, chile powder and garlic powder. They are then cooked in the air fryer — and turned several times — until well charred.
Jalanbo, a first-generation Syrian American, grew up in Southern California, but she writes in her first cookbook that because the family had close friends from all over the world, she grew up eating various Middle Eastern dishes as well as Mexican and South Asian food. So her cookbook is filled with "fusion recipes" that are "inspired by several different cuisines." (She puts cumin and coriander in her sujuk quesadillas.)
On her TikTok, which has 1.8 million followers, you can watch her make these drumsticks. Her popular Spiced Nice Instagram account, which she started three years ago, has attracted more than 260,000 followers.
Jalanbo's cookbook makes another bold claim: that the 60 recipes included will be ready in 30 minutes or less. I haven't made them all, of course, but I did make her za'atar chicken skewers (with za'atar, sumac and garlic powder) and basil lemon meatballs (ground chicken with fresh basil, lemon and ricotta cheese as well as garlic powder and dried thyme). Both were full of flavor and came in right on time.
Over and over again, as I looked through the cookbook, I'd think the ingredient list looked a little long but then realize it was just because she included teaspoons of various dried, ground spices.
Along with a few quick and easy weeknight meals, I got another little bonus from Jalanbo's cookbook: inspiration to be a little freer and easier with my own spice cabinet. Why not add a little sambal chile paste to the eggs when I'm breading my chicken cutlets, as she does? Or how about goosing my salmon spice rub with a little ground cumin and sumac?
Isn't that what solid cookbooks are supposed to do? Give us good recipes, sure, but also inspire us and give us tools to do our own thing?
We ate these drumsticks for dinner with a lightly dressed mixed raw vegetable salad — made while the drumsticks cooked, so it was all ready in about a half-hour. The chicken would also make a great party dish or, with football season upon us, a game-day snack, too.
The air fryer produced the best result, but we got similar results cooking the chicken on a heatproof rack in an oven and toaster oven, using the convection setting.
Sweet and Spicy Air Fryer Drumsticks
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 3 ½ teaspoons avocado or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons chile powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 6 chicken drumsticks (about 1 ½ pounds total)
- Green salad, for serving
Place the honey in a large microwaveable bowl and heat it in the microwave on high for 20 seconds.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and whisk in the Cajun seasoning, oil, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, pepper and salt until a smooth, red paste forms.
Using a sharp knife, lightly puncture the chicken all over to allow the marinade to get into the meat. Add the chicken to the bowl and rub the marinade into each piece until well coated.
Remove the basket from the air fryer and lightly rub it with oil. Arrange the drumsticks in the basket in a single layer. It's fine if they touch, but allow for as much space as possible between the pieces.
Set the air fryer to 380 degrees (we did not heat our air fryer before adding the food) and air-fry the chicken for 8 minutes; then, using tongs or a fork, flip the pieces and cook, flipping every 5 minutes, until the chicken looks dark red with charred spots and has an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 15 more minutes total. Depending on the size of your drumsticks and the air fryer being used, they may need less time.
Serve with a salad.
Makes 2 to 3 servings.

There’s something familiar about the wide-open space and barn likeness of The Tailgate. Paired with a mix of long wooden bench-styled seating and round white tables, the area feels inviting and comfortable for a newbie in town to hang around.
“We thought Midland needed something family oriented with a big screen, something it didn't have already,” co-owner Ariel Herrera told the Reporter-Telegram.
Big screen sounds…small. The miniature jumbotron sits between two tall red silos and would be the cherry on top of any group hangout. From any seat in the house, guests can see every touchdown, replay, three-pointer and more without squinting eyes.
Wanting to expand their festivities beyond the sports seasons, Herrera and co-owner Sean Elphick added a stage back in April, bringing in musicians and artists alike from around the Permian Basin. The duo also hopes to continue to plant strong community roots through fundraisers and events benefitting organizations and causes close to their hearts.
“I have special needs family members, and it’s important for me to bring awareness to that, so Special Olympics is one of them,” Herrera said. “It’s really important that there’s something else we’re apart of that’s bigger than us.”
Other community-oriented events include their Thursday weekly 21 and up Party in the Permian, packed with food trucks such as customer favorite Frenchy’s, beer buckets and live music. Ideas in the works include festivals, Christmas parties, famous artists and more.
Although the two have been in business together for a while now — owning their own oil and gas company since 2020 —The Tailgate crew celebrates a year in the entertainment industry this month. Hoping to cut through the noise of football season with a grand party, Herrera spoke about the challenges as a new business owner and the enjoyment that comes with.
“Owning a business, especially a venue, nothing goes according to plan ever. Patience is something I’ve really had to work on, but I’m 26-years-old and I’ve grown a lot in the past year. A big part of success is being a leader, so that’s something we’ve really tried to hone in on,” Herrera explained.
In the end, Herrera said the support from fellow business owners, such as Tall City Brewing Co. and Sip Haus, keeps the day-to-day mysteries worthwhile and being part of a community as supportive as Midland can’t be beat.
“Sean and I are entrepreneurs, so it’s been really amazing to see how far it’s come in just a year. The people we’ve met along the way, pushing us forward to start something from nothing is really cool.” | https://www.mrt.com/entertainment/article/The-Tailgate-co-owner-reflects-on-first-year-of-17423307.php | 2022-09-07T07:28:38Z | https://www.mrt.com/entertainment/article/The-Tailgate-co-owner-reflects-on-first-year-of-17423307.php | false |

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The U.N. atomic watchdog agency urged Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday to establish a “nuclear safety and security protection zone” around the Zaporizhzhia power plant amid mounting fears the fighting could trigger a catastrophe in a country still scarred by the Chernobyl disaster.
“We are playing with fire, and something very, very catastrophic could take place,” Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, warned the U.N. Security Council, days after leading an inspection visit to the plant.
In a detailed report on its visit, the IAEA said shelling around the Europe's largest nuclear power plant should stop immediately. “This requires agreement by all relevant parties to the establishment of a nuclear safety and security protection zone" around the plant, it said.
At the Security Council meeting, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres likewise demanded that Russian and Ukrainian forces commit to halting all military activity around the plant and agree on a “demilitarized perimeter.”
Guterres said this would include “a commitment by Russian forces to withdraw all military personnel and equipment from that perimeter and a commitment by Ukrainian forces not to move into it.”

Asked by reporters about establishing a demilitarized zone, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, said the proposal “is not serious.”
“The Ukrainians will immediately step in and ruin the whole thing. We’re defending, we’re protecting the station,” he said. “In fact, it is not militarized. There is no equipment at the station.”
Speaking to journalists later, Nebenizia said Russia wanted to see details of the proposals for demilitarized and protection zones.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country needs to look at the specifics of the protection-zone proposal and could support the measure if it envisions the demilitarization of the plant.
In his nightly address to the nation, Zelenskyy praised the IAEA report’s “clear references” to the presence of Russian troops and military equipment at the plant. He urged the agency to explicitly back Kyiv’s long-held position that Russian forces need to withdraw from the facility and its surroundings.
Shelling continued around the plant on Tuesday, a day after it was again knocked off Ukraine's electrical grid and put in the precarious position of relying on its own power to run its safety systems.
Normally the plant relies on power from the outside to run the critical cooling systems that keep its reactors and its spent fuel from overheating. A loss of those systems could lead to a meltdown or other release of radiation.
“For radiation protection professionals, for the Ukrainian and even the Russian people, and those of central Europe, this is a very worrying time — and that’s an understatement,” said Paul Dorfman, a nuclear safety expert at the University of Sussex in England.
Russia and Ukraine accused each other of shelling Enerhodar, the city where the plant is situated. The Ukrainians also charged that the Kremlin's forces fired on a town across the Dnieper River from the power station.
The Ukrainian mayor of Enerhodar, Dmytro Orlov, reported a powerful blast in the city around midday. The explosion left the city of 53,000 cut off from its power and water supplies. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the blast.
World leaders have called for the demilitarization of the plant, which has been occupied by Russian forces since the early days of the war but is being run by Ukrainian engineers.
In its report, the IAEA did not assign blame for the shelling at the plant. The agency has sought to keep out of the political fray.
It did note that on several occasions, the plant lost, fully or in part, its off-site power supply because of military activity in the area. The U.N. agency said a backup power supply line should be reestablished and asked that "all military activities that may affect the power supply systems end.”
In addition, the IAEA warned that the Ukrainian staff operating the plant under Russian military occupation is “under constant high stress and pressure, especially with the limited staff available” — a situation that could "lead to increased human error with implications for nuclear safety.”
It recommended that “an appropriate work environment, including family support," be reestablished.
The IAEA also said the staff is not being given unrestricted access to some parts of the plant and must get permission from the Russian occupying forces to reach the cooling ponds where spent fuel is kept. Grossi expressed concern that that could hamper the staff's response in an emergency.
The report said the team saw Russian military personnel, vehicles and equipment at various locations, including several military trucks on the floor of two turbine halls. It called for “the removal of vehicles from areas that could interfere with the operation of safety and security systems and equipment.”
Two inspectors from the IAEA mission remained at the plant, a decision welcomed by Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak.
“There are Russian troops now who don’t understand what’s happening, don’t assess the risks correctly,” Podolyak said. “There is a number of our workers there, who need some kind of protection, people from the international community standing by their side and telling (Russian troops): ‘Don’t touch these people, let them work.’”
On Monday, the IAEA said Ukrainian authorities reported that the plant’s last transmission line linking it to the nation's power grid was disconnected to allow workers to put out a fire caused by shelling.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko told Ukrainian television: “Any repairs are impossible at this point — there are ongoing hostilities around the plant.”
In the meantime, the plant’s only remaining operational reactor will “generate the power the plant needs for its safety and other functions,” the IAEA said.
Mycle Schneider, an independent analyst in Canada on nuclear energy, said that means the plant was probably functioning in “island mode,” or producing electricity for its own operations.
“Island mode is a very shaky, unstable and unreliable way to provide continuous power supply to a nuclear plant,” Schneider said. He said that "many if not most islanding attempts fail.”
The Zaporizhzhia plant has diesel emergency backup generators to produce power to run the place if the outside source is disrupted. But Schneider said the plant's operators may have decided to go into island mode first.
If the plant turns to the diesel generators as a last resort and they fail, the reactor and the spent fuel could rapidly overheat, he said.
Experts say the reactors at Zaporizhzhia are designed to withstand natural disasters and even plane crashes, but the unpredictable fighting has repeatedly threatened the cooling systems. Ukraine in 1986 was the site of the world's worst nuclear accident, the explosion at Chernobyl.
Ukrainian intelligence reported that residents of Enerhodar were fleeing the city out of fear. Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russia should organize safe corridors for women and children living nearby.
"People en masse are reaching out to us for help. They are trying to leave the dangerous territory, but there are no corridors,” Vereshchuk told Ukrainian TV.
Meanwhile, gunfire and explosions were heard Tuesday afternoon in the Russian-occupied city of Berdyansk in southastern Ukraine, with Russia's state-run media reporting that the car of the Kremlin-installed “city commandant” had been blown up. The RIA Novosti news agency said that the official, Artem Bardin, was in serious condition and that a shootout followed the assassination attempt.
The agency quoted Russian-backed local officials as saying they had launched a manhunt for the “Ukrainian saboteurs” responsible.

Why every woman SHOULD wear their own 'intimate scent' as perfume: Tracey Cox insists 'vabbing' will get you more attention, build your confidence - and boost your libido
- Tracey Cox says 'vabbing' will get you more attention and it's an aphrodisiac
- She reveals that 'it's nothing new to use your own vaginal secretion as perfume
- Saying strategically dabbing it behind your ear with increase your attractiveness
To the uninitiated, vabbing is using your own vaginal secretion as perfume. Putting a finger inside your vagina then strategically dabbing it on your wrist or behind your ear to increase your attractiveness and attract a mate.
The idea behind it is that the pheromones released by your bodily fluid will subliminally entice prospective partners to you.
What do you make of that?
If you're like most of the people who responded to an influencer on TikTok, who posted a video claiming it would help you get dates, your knee-jerk reaction is 'Ewwww!'
I was a guest on Woman's Hour soon after, along with an evolutionary biologist, and I'd sum up the social media mood after the interview as 'disgusted'.
'Yuk! Why would you do that?' 'Why would you want to smell like THAT!'
Even ignoring the blatantly misogynist undertones, I was astonished how negative the reaction was.
Is the vagina really so intimidating and off-putting?
I've been encouraging women to 'vab' for decades and would still heartily recommend it for several reasons.

It's nothing new
I wrote about vabbing in my very first book, Hot Sex: How To Do It, twenty-two years ago.
It wasn't called vabbing then and I'm not even sure it was a known technique or sexual practise - I just thought it was something sexy to do.
We were all obsessed with pheromones around that time and using vaginal secretions to attractive a mate seemed logical to me. If you wanted to send a secret, erotic biological signal to someone, why not go (ahem) straight to the source.
Sadly, like the G-spot, pheromones didn't quite turn out to be the sexual magic ingredient we'd all hoped for.
And guess what?
Vabbing DOESN'T work because of pheromones
Our bodily fluids do contain pheromones and pheromones in the animal kingdom can incite sexual arousal.
But evidence is weak that they do the same for humans. (We apparently lack a 'vomeronasal organ': a sensory organ found in the roof of the mouth of many animals.)
It's unlikely that humans can sense pheromones enough to impact sexual attractiveness.
That 'pheromone perfume' you bought that promised to drive people around you wild? Yep, about as effective as tap water.
There is NO – I repeat no evidence – that vabbing works to attract others because of pheromones.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't work.
Vabbing works on a psychological level
When I wrote about vabbing all those years ago, it appealed to me for reasons other than pheromones.
Never discount the psychological effect of our actions.
Dipping a finger inside your vagina and putting the secretion behind your ear is a deliberate, conscious act.
It says, 'I want to meet someone and maybe I'll also want to have sex with them.'
If you do this before you go out, you walk outside with a completely different mindset to someone who has put on a bit of lipstick and traditional perfume and thought, 'Maybe I might meet someone tonight'.
You've admitted to yourself that you are a sexual being, that you desire sex, and you are open to being seduced.
The psychological impact of this is powerful and potent.
People who are interested in having sex flirt more, touch more, make more eye contact and – consequently – get more attention.
Vabbing might be something only you know you've done, but by God it puts you in the right frame of mind to attract a mate!
It's an aphrodisiac
The act of vabbing is proactive. It's overtly sexual and it's blatant.
The type of women who embraces vabbing is generally one with a healthy desire for sex. She isn't ashamed of having a strong libido – and she doesn't mind advertising it.
If you're a woman who is less comfortable with sex and/or with a lower sex drive, vabbing can help boost both.
Because it's something that could be viewed as outrageous, doing it can feel extraordinarily daring – and stepping outside your comfort zone is a sure-fire way to spark desire.
Instead of thinking of yourself as someone who is ambivalent about sex, you've transformed into a sexual goddess.
Never underestimate the power of simple gestures.
Sex and relationship expert Tracey Cox, pictured, explains that the type of woman who embraces vabbing is generally one with a healthy desire for sex
Viva la vulva!
Far from it being a 'desperate' act to attract men, what I most love about vabbing is that it celebrates the vulva.
So many women are ashamed of their genitals. Over the 30 years or so that I've been a sex educator, a lot of it has been spent reassuring women that their genitals look OK and smell OK.
By using your vaginal secretion as perfume, you're announcing, 'Hey, I don't just smell OK, I smell GREAT!'
Rather than feel ashamed, we're embracing our genitals. Doing it sends a strong, feminist message.
Even if it's not for you, you can't help but feel happy that the vulva is out and proud!
Think you might want to give it a try?
Here's the answer to the first question everyone asks…
Can people tell if I'm doing it?
Do people realise what it is they're smelling?
I very much doubt, on a conscious level, that they do because the smell of a healthy vagina is slightly sweet but subtle.
(If the smell is particularly strong or off-putting, that's your cue to make an appointment to see your doctor. Vaginal infections, STI's, where we are in our menstrual cycle, pregnancy - all affect how we smell. Get it checked out if it's unusual.)
On a subliminal level though, some people may well twig that something is going on… without really knowing what.
As we get aroused, our body emits a musky odour which excites. You can smell if someone is turned on by you: sexual desire and smell have always been linked.
Vabbing cuts out the middleman and brings that scent to the fore – before you've started having sex.
I honestly don't think anyone will bust you for vabbing; stand back, look horrified and ask, 'Am I smelling what I think I'm smelling?!'
But if they did suspect and find out later, the sort of partner you'd want to attract would probably find it a massive turn-on rather than turn-off.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — For the first time, media groups from India observed military exercises in Taiwan, reports said Wednesday (Sept. 7).
The 8th Field Army launched its latest round of drills on the Hengchun Peninsula in south Taiwan’s Pingtung County Tuesday (Sept. 6), inviting foreign reporters from CNN and Reuters to the site. Camera crews from India’s TV9 and News Nation were also present for the first time, CNA reported.
The Indian reporters said they were interested to see how well-prepared Taiwan’s military was for a conflict with China. As the communist country stepped up its live-fire exercises and incursions into Taiwan’s side of the Taiwan Strait following the Aug. 2-3 visit by United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, India has started paying more attention to the possibility of an armed confrontation, the reporters said.
Since India and Taiwan share the same adversary, China, interest in the military drills was high. News magazine The Week put President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on the cover of a recent edition. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4650780 | 2022-09-07T07:58:36Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4650780 | false |

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli troops killed a Palestinian man during a firefight Wednesday in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. The violence erupted after Israel carried out an arrest raid in a refugee camp near the city of Tubas.
The Israeli military said it carried out arrest raids across the West Bank as part of a monthslong crackdown on Palestinian militants. It said its soldiers came under fire during the arrest of a wanted person in the Faraa refugee camp in the northern West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 21-year-old Younis Ghassan Tayeh died from a bullet wound to the chest. It wasn't immediately clear whether he was participating in the clashes with Israeli forces.
Israel has been conducting near-daily arrest raids in the West Bank for months, which were prompted by a spate of deadly attacks against Israelis earlier this year that killed 19 people.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed during that time, many of them militants or people involved in clashes. But some civilians have also been killed, including one who inadvertently drove through a battle zone. A veteran Al Jazeera journalist covering the raids also was killed in May.
Israel on Monday said its investigation into the deadly shooting of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh found there was a “high probability” an Israeli soldier had mistakenly killed her during a raid. She had been wearing a helmet and a vest that clearly marked her as a member of the media.
Israel says the arrest raids are meant to dismantle militant networks that have embedded themselves. The Palestinians say the operations are aimed at maintaining Israel’s 55-year military occupation of territories they want for an independent state.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians seek those territories for a future state. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Israeli-troops-kill-Palestinian-in-West-Bank-17423900.php | 2022-09-07T08:12:31Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Israeli-troops-kill-Palestinian-in-West-Bank-17423900.php | false |
Northern Trust funds first to go live on the new multi-jurisdictional environment
NEW YORK and LONDON, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leveraging blockchain technology to alleviate the complexities faced by asset managers with funds in multiple geographies, global Fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), has released a multi-jurisdictional version of its private equity platform, Private Market Hub, now available to funds domiciled in North America.
Previously operational for funds domiciled in Guernsey, Private Market Hub has been enhanced to support clients in the United States. Private Market Hub is currently the only fully operational multi-tenant enabled platform for the private equity (PE) market with the ability to seamlessly service funds across multiple jurisdictions powered by distributed ledger technology (DLT).
Broadridge's new capabilities are the first of their kind in the private equity industry, allowing all stakeholders in a fund's lifecycle to participate around a common set of data and workflows via a unified user interface, irrespective of the fund's jurisdiction. Northern Trust, the cornerstone client, has gone live with the first group of North American clients – marking a new milestone in the evolution of the platform.
"We are delighted that Private Market Hub is now available to North American domiciled funds – it comes at a time of explosive growth in the US, with PE fundraising tipping $400 billion and assets under management at an all-time high of $2.9 trillion1," said Mike Sleightholme, Broadridge's President of asset management solutions. "This latest set of enhancements is a first for the industry. It creates workflow and operational efficiencies for both US and multi-jurisdictional funds, giving them the ability to standardize processes and data across jurisdictions, avoiding disparate silos of client data."
Private Market Hub automates and unifies workflows between front, middle and back-office functions while simultaneously protecting the integrity and sovereignty of data. It brings together ecosystem participants around a consistent, secure, real-time view of data - reducing friction for fund managers, investors and administrators, and enabling easier auditability. Funds can manage, communicate and engage with investors and other stakeholders with far greater efficiency. This innovative platform is enabled by distributed ledger technology, which streamlines traditionally disconnected and inefficient processes and facilitates greater visibility across the ecosystem.
Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE: BR), a global Fintech leader with $5 billion in revenues, provides the critical infrastructure that powers investing, corporate governance, and communications to enable better financial lives. We deliver technology-driven solutions that drive business transformation for banks, broker-dealers, asset and wealth managers and public companies.

Manchester United enjoyed a crucial victory over league leaders Arsenal on Sunday following an Antony goal and Marcus Rashford brace.
Much was made about the impact of both managers’ substitutions in deciding the game with many plaudits going to Erik ten Hag for the changes he made while some, such as Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson, thought that Mikel Arteta made too many changes when the momentum was with the visitors.
New signing Antony enjoyed an impressive debut as he scored a brilliant goal, which is always perfect for a major signing to hit the ground running so early. But, it was the positions that were taken up and his movement off the ball that particularly caught the eye.
READ MORE: United should already have three transfer targets for 2023
The Brazilian showed great intelligence and game understanding in such a short space of time – something which will certainly provide Manchester United with a valuable option across their front line going forward.
Back Post Runner
It was clear to see why Ten Hag was so keen to reunite with his former Ajax winger as time and time again he looked to pose a challenge to Oleksandr Zinchenko off the ball. He was regularly quicker to anticipate the next move and found himself on the goal side of the defender on several occasions.
Opposite side wingers attacking the back post has been a key component of Pep Guardiola’s attacking patterns, most notably was the number of goals Raheem Sterling managed from this type of movement. As the foundation of Ten Hag’s pattern of play begins to build, players will be able to link up more efficiently and in a few months' time we may well see Dalot or Malacia spot that back post run and pick it out for a simple finish.
The top teams score a large proportion of their goals from cutbacks and low crosses in modern football and United must add these goals to their portfolio if they want to compete for major honours.
Hugging the touchline
Antony was also able to drag Zinchenko out wide to the touchline in United’s phases of play. An option they have lacked previously with their other forwards because of their tendencies to favour drifting inside. Having the capability to hug the touchline and still be involved in the team’s play meant that there was more space for Bruno Fernandes to operate in, which proved to be a difference maker from United’s perspective.
While it is a fantastic pass from Eriksen to break through the lines and the right timing from Fernandes, the balance in regards to the position of the front four is what makes it possible. As well as this, the forward passes that Eriksen has made so far this season will allow Bruno Fernandes to maintain a high position and affect the game to the best of his ability.
During last season, Fernandes was receiving the ball way too deep and forcing the defence to split passes from deeper areas. Subsequently, United lost the ability to control games as they were handing back possession to the opposition in the early stages of their build-up.
How will this affect the team moving forward?
The fixture congestion surrounding the upcoming World Cup means that heavy rotation is likely among Premier League clubs. Despite this, it is very possible that Antony will remain a consistent starter due to the angles he can create and the difference in tactics United can deploy with him in the team.
This is in contrast to the other United forwards who all share positions and attributes that can be replaced by an alternative within the rotation. Antony will be able to adjust his movements based on game situations and opposition.
An example of this would be dragging the likes of Zinchenko and Cancelo out to the touchline, where they feel uncomfortable and unable to affect the play whereas fullbacks such as Robertson love to stay fairly wide so that they can make runs down the sides when retrieving possession. Also, when receiving the ball out wide, it is crucial that United’s right back, most likely Diogo Dalot, is a willing runner to make those ‘underlapping runs’ in order to create space in possession for Antony.
Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraoui, who formed a strong partnership with Antony at Ajax, performed these exact runs to an impressive standard.

INDIANAPOLIS — Here are Wednesday's latest updates on the coronavirus pandemic, including the latest news on COVID-19 vaccinations and testing in Indiana.
Registrations for the vaccine are now open for all Hoosiers through the Indiana Department of Health. This story will be updated over the course of the day with more news on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tippecanoe County Health Department to start administering updated COVID-19 boosters Thursday
The Tippecanoe County Health Department will start administering doses of the new Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 boosters Thursday, Sept. 8 at noon ET. The new boosters target today's most common omicron strains.
Walk-ins are welcome. The health department said the scheduling system is still not allowing appointments at this time due to a software change.
The Pfizer booster can be given to people age 12 and older, while the Moderna booster is available to those 18 and older.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna booster require a minimum two months after the person got their last dose or booster. The boosters can't be used for first or second doses.
CDC map shows 50 Indiana counties at 'high risk' of spreading COVID-19
On Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022, 50 Indiana counties were classified in the high-risk category for spreading COVID-19, down slightly from 53 roughly one week ago.
The central Indiana counties listed on the CDC data map as having a "high" community risk of spreading COVID-19 include Bartholomew, Blackford, Cass, Decatur, Delaware, Henry, Johnson, Putnam, Randolph, Rush, Shelby, and White.
There were also 36 more Indiana counties listed as "medium" risks, including Marion, Hancock, Hendricks, Madison and Morgan counties in the metro area.
Boone, Brown, Hamilton, Monroe, Owen and Union are the only counties listed as "low" risks for spreading COVID-19 as of Wednesday morning.
Over the past seven days, Indiana has recorded 8,148 new cases and 65 deaths. The 7-day moving average of new hospital admissions for COVID-19 is 111.57.
Latest US, world numbers
There have been more than 94.89 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States as of 3:45 a.m. ET Wednesday, according to Johns Hopkins University. There have been more than 1.04 million deaths recorded in the U.S.
Worldwide, there have been more than 606.27 million confirmed coronavirus cases with more than 6.50 million deaths and more than 12.18 billion vaccine doses administered.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness like pneumonia, or death.
CDC drops quarantine, distancing recommendations for COVID-19
The nation's top public health agency relaxed its COVID-19 guidelines, dropping the recommendation that Americans quarantine themselves if they come into close contact with an infected person.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said people no longer need to stay at least 6 feet away from others.
The changes, which come more than 2 1/2 years after the start of the pandemic, are driven by a recognition that an estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity, either from being vaccinated or infected, agency officials said.
Biden administration to encourage COVID-19 boosters, flu shot this fall
The Biden administration hopes to make getting a COVID-19 booster as routine as going in for the yearly flu shot.
That’s at the heart of its campaign to sell the newly authorized shot to an American public that has widely rejected COVID-19 boosters since they first became available last fall.
Shots of the updated boosters, specifically designed by Pfizer and Moderna to respond to the omicron strain, could start within days. The U.S. government has purchased 170 million doses and is emphasizing that everyone will have free access to the booster.
White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said this latest round of shots will offer protection during the busy cold and flu season, with the hope of transitioning people to get the vaccine yearly. Typically, at least half of U.S. adults get a flu shot.
“We expect them to provide more durable protection over time,” Jha said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. “The goal very much is to get to a point where people get their COVID shot on a regular basis, the way they do their flu shot.”
Government pauses free COVID test orders
If you're looking to stock up on at-home COVID-19 tests, you may have missed your chance to order a batch free of charge from the government.
President Joe Biden committed in January to making 1 billion tests available to Americans, including through covidtests.gov.
Initially, each U.S. household could make only one order of the rapid antigen tests. The Biden administration later announced a second and then third round of orders were available, totaling up to 16 tests per household.
However, that program has come to an end — at least for now.
"Ordering through this program will be suspended on Friday, September 2 because Congress hasn’t provided additional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests," an alert on the website said starting Friday.
Free COVID-19 testing is also available through community testing sites and insurance reimbursement.
What to know about BA.5, BA.4 variant symptoms
As Americans ramp up their summer travels without their masks, two COVID-19 subvariants are causing a surge in cases.
BA.5, which accounts for 65% of cases, and BA.4, which is 16% of cases, are omicron's smarter cousins. The two subvariants are evading antibodies and even vaccine protections, as they are one of the most contagious versions of the virus yet.
"It knows how to trick our immune system," said TEGNA's medical expert Dr. Payal Kohli.
Since the subvariants derived from the original omicron variant, symptoms fall under the same umbrella. However, symptoms still vary depending on vaccination status, age, prior infection, medication and other factors, said Kohli.
Data collected from the Zoe app in the UK show most symptoms mimic the common cold, with sore throats and runny noses. Kohli said a significant change in symptoms for the subvariants are heightened amounts of sneezing, something not seen in earlier forms of the COVID-19 variant.
The subvariants responsible for the latest surge pose a different threat as it also has higher rates of reinfection.
Parents can schedule vaccine appointments for young children
The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) announced that the public can now schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments for children through age 5 by visiting www.ourshot.in.gov.
Appointments are available for individuals seeking the Moderna vaccine for children ages 6 months through 5 years and the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 6 months through 4 years on the state's scheduling platform.
IDOH has updated its map at www.ourshot.in.gov to show sites that offer vaccines for the youngest age group.
Appointments are recommended due to vaccine and provider availability. Individuals also can call 211 for assistance or contact their child’s healthcare provider to determine if they are offering vaccines.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Guy Morriss, a 15-year NFL offensive lineman who played in Super Bowls with Philadelphia and New England before coaching collegiately at Baylor and Kentucky, has died. He was 71.
Kentucky announced that Morriss died Monday in Danville, Kentucky. Athletics spokesman Tony Neely confirmed the school was informed by his family. No cause of death was specified in a release, though Morriss was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2017.
Morriss played with the Eagles from 1973-83 after being drafted in the second round and started at center in their 27-10 Super Bowl loss to the Oakland Raiders in 1981. He also spent four seasons with the Patriots and played in 217 NFL contests, including Super Bowl XX, with 177 starts.
Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski mourned his ex-teammate on social media and said, “So sad to hear my great center Guy Moriss has passed away. Guy was a true leader on our Super Bowl team. RIP my friend!”
Morriss was 37-85 as a college head coach in a career that included a stop at Texas A&M-Commerce (10-31) from 2009-12. That followed a stint at Baylor from 2003-07 in which he went 18-40 overall with the Bears but upset Colorado in his Big 12 Conference debut.
Morriss began his head coaching career at Kentucky following the resignation of Hal Mumme after the 2000 season amid an NCAA investigation of rules violations. The former offensive line and assistant head coach under Mumme went 2-9 in 2001.
The Wildcats improved to 7-5 the next year for Morriss’ lone winning finish, a turnaround season highlighted by a near upset of LSU. Kentucky was banned from the postseason as part of NCAA sanctions.
Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart expressed condolences to Morriss' family and friends in a release and said he stabilized the football program during a period of significant uncertainty.
“He was both liked and respected by the players, who responded to his fair, no-nonsense approach with their best efforts," the AD added. “His six years at UK feature some of the best players and most exciting moments in our history.”
The Texas native played at TCU and later coached high school football in Kentucky before retiring.
Morriss is survived by his wife, Jackie; their daughters, Colleen, Kerry, Savannah and Austin; and five grandchildren. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/nation-world/guy-morriss-dies-at-71/507-d38c04a6-896a-43c1-acf0-53cdf2761b9e | 2022-09-07T08:30:17Z | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/nation-world/guy-morriss-dies-at-71/507-d38c04a6-896a-43c1-acf0-53cdf2761b9e | false |
To mark the Cayenne’s 20th anniversary, Porsche is looking back at key moments in the SUV’s development. This time, it’s focusing on the rally-bred Cayenne S Transsyberia.
To showcase the then-new Cayenne’s off-road capability, Porsche entered the 2006 Rally Transsyberia, which sent competitors on a 6,000-mile-plus odyssey from Berlin to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, via Moscow, Irkutsk, and Lake Baikal in Russia. A pair of Cayenne S models made a one-two finish that year, with the winning Cayenne co-driven by Porsche engineer Jürgen Kern, who had worked on the first-generation Cayenne’s development.
The race vehicles were mostly stock, the main changes being different tires, underbody protection, snorkels, winches, and auxiliary lights. They also had a locking differential and off-road air-suspension with specific tuning, which were factory options at the time.
This success encouraged Porsche to set up a customer-racing program. The automaker built 26 Cayenne S Transsyberia racers for use by privateer teams in the 2007 Transsyberia rally on an abbreviated route from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar.
These vehicles were more extensively modified, sporting roll cages, reinforced wishbones, and shorter axle ratios to improve acceleration. The Transsyberia racers also got more extensive waterproofing than stock Cayennes, enabling a wading depth of 29.5 inches with the air suspension at its highest setting.
The 4.8-liter V-8 was stock, but by 2007 the Cayenne had received a power boost to 379 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, up from the previous 335 hp and 308 lb-ft. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control active anti-roll system had also been added by that time.
Porsche continued to dominate the event. In 2007, Cayennes swept the podium and took seven of the top 10 places. The same fleet of vehicles was also used in 2008, locking out all but seventh place among the top 10 finishers.
With its point proven, Porsche shifted focus to building a road-going special edition to commemorate the Cayenne’s rallying success. Launched in 2009 as a 2010 model, it had the engine from the Cayenne GTS and thus actually had more power than the racers, at 400 hp. It also came standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, with which it could do 0-62 mph in 6.1 seconds (a Tiptronic automatic gearbox was also available).
Off-road lights and special color schemes replicated the look of the rally cars. Just 285 were built, making the special edition more common than the rally versions but still quite rare. Porsche hasn’t built anything like it since.

UK's Barratt to buy back shares worth $229 mln, posts record annual profit
Adds details on buyback, background
Sept 7 (Reuters) - Barratt Developments Plc BDEV.L said on Wednesday it would buy back shares worth 200 million pounds ($229.50 million), after UK's biggest housebuilder posted a record annual profit and said it was on track to meet volume output target for fiscal 2023.
Barratt's announcement comes at a time when the UK housing sector is showing signs of losing some heat, with HSBC warning of an imminent downturn amid soaring inflation and rising interest rates.
The FTSE 100 firm said construction activity was on track to deliver planned output growth with an average 366 equivalent homes per week built to date in the 2023 fiscal, compared with 336 homes a year earlier.
Barratt said the share buyback programme would start shortly, with an initial tranche of 50 million pounds to be completed by the end of the calendar year and the total programme completed no later than June 30, 2023.
Adjusted pre-tax profit rose about 15% to 1.05 billion pounds for the year ended June 30, compared with a profit of 919.7 million pounds a year earlier. It was also in line with market expectations.
On Tuesday, high-end housebuilder Berkeley pointed to persistent robust demand offsetting cost pressures and said it was on track to meet its annual profit forecast.

Qatar's green own goal as World Cup fans set to jet in from Dubai
By Alexander Cornwell
DUBAI, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The Middle East's first ever soccer World Cup promises boom time for Dubai hotels this November, with thousands of fans expected to descend on the Gulf city due to limited accommodation in neighbouring host nation Qatar.
But the environmental costs of transporting those visitors nearly 400 km (249 miles) for match days, overwhelmingly by plane, raises further doubts over Qatar's pledge last year to host the first ever carbon-neutral World Cup.
While more than a million soccer fans are expected to attend the tournament, Qatar had just 30,000 hotel rooms as of March. More are due to be added before the tournament kicks off on Nov. 20, but many will be occupied by soccer teams, their support staff and World Cup officials.
"We expect the traffic to be pretty big and pretty busy to and from the World Cup," said Dubai Airports Chief Executive Paul Griffiths, predicting many fans will choose to stay in Dubai, where there are about five times as many hotel rooms - and easier access to alcohol.
State-owned Qatar Airways has helped organise a shuttle service operated by regional airlines in and out of Doha on match days from Gulf cities, including at least 60 daily flights to and from Dubai.
That raises questions over the organisers' initial pledge to make the event carbon neutral, a large part of which they said hinged on it being centred around the capital Doha, with fans flying into one airport and staying in one location, rather than being spread across numerous cities like previous tournaments.
A June 2021 report by the Qatari organisers and governing body FIFA, covering tournament-related activities from 2011 to 2023, said the World Cup was expected to produce 3.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, with travel the largest contributor, accounting for 52%, due mainly to international flights.
That was produced before the shuttle services between Qatar and other Gulf states were unveiled this year.
"The immense volume of shuttle flights from neighbouring countries further undermines the organisers' claim that having so many stadiums concentrated in a small geographical area would help reduce emissions related to air travel," said Khaled Diab, communications director at advocacy Carbon Market Watch.
"(That) will stretch the credibility of the tournament's elastic carbon-neutrality slogan to snapping point."
A spokesperson for the World Cup organizer said its shuttle service enables "efficient direct flights to and from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar", which it says are "significantly more carbon effective than flights with stopovers".
"From the beginning of our planning... we have always aimed to welcome fans from across the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region," it said.
"As such, our greenhouse gas footprint included a proportion of fans traveling from the GCC region to attend matches. The estimation was based on number of travellers, distance and mode of transport."
"After the tournament, we will update the carbon footprint based on actual data."
EASE THE SQUEEZE
To ease the hotel squeeze, Qatar is building temporary accommodation on the outskirts of Doha, while cruise ships will anchor off the coast offering accommodation to World Cup fans.
But hotels in Dubai, the Gulf's most popular tourism destination, are already reporting strong bookings in the fourth quarter, particularly during the four-week soccer tournament.
"We're seeing a lot of demand for the World Cup," said Paul Bridger, chief operating officer of Rove Hotels, a locally owned hotel brand operating five mid-tier hotels across Dubai.
Bridger said bookings in the fourth quarter, which overlaps with Dubai's peak October to February winter tourism season, were four times that of 2019, the year before the pandemic.
In a bid to attract soccer fans, Qatar's neighbours including the United Arab Emirates - of which Dubai is a part - and Saudi Arabia will offer entry visas to World Cup ticketholders.
Monther Darwish, managing director of Dubai's five-star luxury Palazzo Versace, said he expected the 215 room hotel to be fully booked from October to December, with many guests to shuttle between Dubai and Doha throughout the World Cup.
The managing director of private jet operator DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, Holger Ostheimer, said enquiries for chartered flights from Dubai to Doha had increased three to fourfold.
Climate advocates had already raised doubts about the tournament being carbon neutral, although the organisers have announced a string of initiatives to reach that goal.
These include solar-powered stadium air conditioning, using shipping containers as building materials, and purchasing credits to offset emissions, a measure organisers have said should be recognised, not criticised.
But Greenpeace Programme Director Julien Jreissati said the tournament was not going to be carbon neutral even before shuttle flights were organised. "The problem with offsetting is, basically, it doesn't work," he said.

We’ve all had a co-worker, boss, family member, neighbor — you name it, someone who just makes life miserable. And, who hasn’t pulled out more than a few hairs from total frustration dealing with the chaos they create?
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a handbook of instructions on managing unpleasant people? Well, there is and it is called “Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone (Even Difficult People)” by Amy Gallo, published by Harvard Business Review Press and hitting bookstores in September.
It is just a great read and Amy describes situations we have all been in. (I even saw myself in the book — both as a victim and one very unpleasant person, me!)
I sat down with Amy and discussed the things that most of us do wrong when faced with impossible people — or people who we think are impossible. She provided a by-the-numbers approach on what not to do and ways of heading off major confrontations.
1 – Suppress your emotions
The result? If we do this long enough, we are likely to explode. Well-meaning people often say, “Just ignore it, suck it up!” But the problem with that attitude is that, later on, emotional leakage occurs and we express feelings in unproductive ways because we just can’t manage them any longer, or take them out on an innocent co-worker or family member.To avoid that, psychologists recommend these steps to plug your leaking emotions:
- As you feel your anger increase, take the time to ask yourself, “What am I feeling right now?” Name the emotion.
- Next ask, “What thoughts are causing these emotions?” Our thoughts drive our emotions. If you can correctly identify the thoughts that are impacting your emotions, things become much clearer.
- Finally, analyze whether you viewed the event that upset you objectively. Be careful to not let your brain fool you into believing that you are always right.
2 – Retaliate! Fight fire with fire!
Consequences: By matching their behavior, you intensify the feeling of being on opposing sides, rather than by giving the dynamic between you a chance to change. Retaliating also makes you look bad in the eyes of co-workers, and may even violate your values. You want to act in ways that you can feel proud of, not that you wish you could take back later.
3 – Hope that your colleague will just leave the organization.
Result: You end up biding your time rather than taking steps to improve the relationship.
Thinking, “Great! If they leave, everything will be much better!” may be flawed as the problem could be with the organizational culture itself, well beyond the ability of co-workers to address or cure.
Often, the system is the problem — one that encourages bad behavior. Incentives might be rewarding the wrong things. The culture might be toxic. And if you are in that type of a work environment, everyone is better off trying to create a workable situation with colleagues instead of just hoping that things will improve on their own.
4 – Assume that the reason your relationship isn’t working is entirely their fault.
Result: We fail to see our role in the dynamic which is the only thing we can actually control. By placing the blame entirely on them, we fail to ask ourselves, “What role have I played in this disagreement?”
Thinking that we have done nothing wrong makes it difficult to find solutions. It becomes an “all or nothing” event, where we make ourselves powerless to influence a resolution.
5 – React in the moment! Don’t analyze what happened or why you feel this way!
Consequences: Our brains are hard-wired to protect us. We often make snap judgments about what is going on around us and how to react. Often our responses are flawed because we have not taken the time to evaluate the various issues that have led to the conflict.
Allowing time to pass gives us the ability to see things more clearly and less defensively. Time additionally permits the gathering of information, which can either strengthen our case, or prove to us that the other person was in fact correct.
6 – Tell them that they are the perfect example of someone who is (fill in the blank).
Consequences: You may make them even angrier and defensive which is unlikely to lead to any behavior change. Rather that labeling them, it is best to describe your observation of their behavior and the impact this is having on you. Engage them in a discussion about their perception about what happened and why they did what they did. They may have a rational explanation that you did not see.
7 – Give up after one attempt to resolve the issue.
Consequences: You miss out on an opportunity to turn the relationship around.
View your efforts to resolve the problem as an experiment where you try different approaches, and learn along the way what works and what doesn’t. One attempt — no matter how valiant — rarely solves the problem!
8 – Think, “I am not a difficult person! I’m the easiest person in the world to get along with.”
Results: We are terrible judges of our own behavior and our impact on other people. At one time or another, we are all difficult people! Therefore, be charitable, take the time to try and understand why that person is acting the way they do.
Amy concluded our interview with an observation that applies to us all:
“None of us are our best selves all the time. Empathy for your co-worker and what they are going through is rarely a waste of time or energy.”

(LEAD) Seoul shares tumble, local currency at over 13-yr low amid recession woes
(ATTN: ADDS bond yields at bottom, photo)
SEOUL, Sept. 7 (Yonhap) -- Seoul shares tumbled on Wednesday as foreigners and institutions dumped holdings amid worries over the U.S. Federal Reserve's continued aggressive rate hikes and their impact on the global economy. The Korean won also slid to the lowest point in more than 13 years.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) fell 1.39 percent, or 33.56 points, to 2,376.46. Trading volume was moderate at 370.02 million shares worth 7.29 trillion won (US$5.3 billion), with decliners outpacing gainers 768 to 119.
Foreigners and institutions sold a combined 716.75 billion won worth of stocks, exceeding individuals' stock purchases valued at 688.41 billion won.
"The strong dollar was the main downward factor in today's session for Asian markets among others. Rapid depreciation of regional currencies could further reduce the appetite for risky Asian assets," Park Hee-cheol, an analyst at Mirae Asset, said.
Most large-cap stocks declined across the board.
Market bellwether Samsung Electronics Co. fell 1.9 percent to 56,000 won, and No. 2 chipmaker SK hynix Inc. declined 1.5 percent to 90,400 won. Flag carrier Korean Air Lines Co. dropped 1.2 percent to 25,300 won, and No. 1 steelmaker POSCO Holdings shed 2.6 percent to 246,000 won.
Auto and chemical stocks were among gainers, with top carmaker Hyundai Motor Co. rising 0.5 percent to 202,000 won and leading chemical firm LG Chem Ltd. gaining 0.7 percent to 623,000 won.
The won closed at 1,384.20 won against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday, down 12.50 won from the previous session's close. Wednesday's closing was the lowest level since March 30, 2009, when it fell to as low as 1,391.50.
Bond prices, which move inversely to yields, closed lower. The yield on three-year Treasurys rose 0.3 basis point to 3.685 percent, and the return on the benchmark five-year government bond climbed 1.7 basis points to 3.753 percent.

Eric Dier has offered an insight into Dele Alli’s move to Besiktas and explained why he believes the midfielder was happy to leave Everton.
The 26-year-old joined Everton from Tottenham in February and made 11 appearances, but just one start, for the Goodison Park club last season. The England international then made two substitute outings - in league defeats against Chelsea and Aston Villa - for the Blues this season.
A two-time winner of the PFA's Young Player of the Year award, Alli did not score or register an assist in 13 games for Frank Lampard's side. While Besiktas revealed after the deal was completed that they have said they will not pay a loan fee to Everton but there is an option to buy included in the deal.

Alli scored his first goal for Besiktas in the 3-2 win against Ankaragucu at the weekend, and his former Tottenham teammate Dier believes that the 26-year-old is now happy.
He said: “I spoke to him after his first game. I think he is happy to have a new challenge, somewhere fresh. I think he is excited by a new experience from a life point of view as well and all I heard were positive things from him.
“He is young. 26. I think we all know in football things can change very quickly for anyone at any time so everything is possible. It is just up to us as individuals.”

Rising US chess star Hans Niemann offers to play naked to prove he's not a cheat
By James CoventryTeenage American Grandmaster Hans Niemann has offered to "strip naked" to prove he is not a chess cheat, angrily dismissing suspicions surrounding his upset win over five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen.
Key points:
- Hans Niemann has admitted to cheating as a child, but says his play is now above board
- Magnus Carlsen pulled out of the $500,000 Sinquefield Cup in Saint Louis after Niemann beat him
- The teen star says he is prepared to do whatever it takes to play
The 19-year-old admitted to cheating in online chess games as a child, but said his play was now completely above board.
"Do any fair play checking you want, I don't care because I know that I'm clean," he said in a video interview with chess commentator Alejandro Ramirez.
"They want me to strip fully naked? I'll do it. I don't care because I know I know that I'm clean and I'm willing to subject myself to what you want me to play," Niemann said.
The Sinquefield Cup has already implemented additional anti-cheating measures – such as using metal detectors on players and putting matches on a 15-minute broadcast delay – after Carlsen sensationally pulled out of the $500,000 event in Saint Louis following his shock third-round loss to Niemann.
Carlsen announced his withdrawal via a cryptic tweet on Tuesday morning (AEST) which was interpreted by many commentators – including leading American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura – as alluding to foul play.
Live-streaming to thousands of his followers on Twitch, Nakamura said: "I think Magnus probably believes Hans is cheating".
Nakamura also revealed his compatriot had previously been banned from the chess website Chess.com, which Niemann himself has now confirmed.
"I cheated on random games on Chess.com — I was confronted, I confessed," said Niemann, who said this happened when he was 12 and 16.
"This is the single biggest mistake of my life and I am completely ashamed, and I'm telling the world because I don't want misrepresentations and I don't want rumours.
"I have never cheated in an over-the-board game."
Niemann said that following Carlsen's withdrawal from the Sinquefield Cup, his access to Chess.com had again been revoked and he had been uninvited from its Global Championship.
Chess.com announced last month that it was in the process of taking over Carlsen's "Play Magnus Group" in a $122 million merger.
"I'm not going to let Chess.com, I'm not going to let Magnus Carlsen, I'm not going to let Hikaru Nakamura — the three arguably biggest entities in chess — simply slander my reputation," said Niemann.
"Chess.com has suddenly decided to hop on Magnus's insinuations and Hikaru's very direct accusations. I believe this is completely unfair — this is a targeted attack.
"They know I am not a cheater and that I give everything to chess. I work so hard and chess is my entire life." | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-07/rising-chess-star-offers-to-play-naked/101415540 | 2022-09-07T08:53:53Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-07/rising-chess-star-offers-to-play-naked/101415540 | false |

MIT Sloan Analytics Expericense to use predictio tool to devismulate energy maze for citys&nbing and the world\nVehikula Dodhia November 7th 20 991pmThe city of Amsterdam wants predictions\nBetween now to Octo\nVahora was able use civiI te\na 7a8sAi-8\n ROANOKE, Va. – Making the Roanoke City Jail a place of transformation – on Tuesday, the Roanoke City Sheriff unveiled a new program he hopes can do just that.
The Sheriff said the keys to success are changing people’s mindsets and cultures.
During the ribbon cutting Tuesday, area officials gathered to celebrate the changes happening inside the Roanoke City Jail.
“Virginia is a Commonwealth of second chances, doesn’t matter if you’ve served a few weeks in prison or a few decades in prison, there needs to be an opportunity for a second chance,” D.J. Jordan, Virginia Attorney General Chief of Staff said.
And that second chance for people incarcerated in Roanoke is coming in the form of a new program called (R) I.G.N.I.T.E., which stands for “Residents individually growing naturally and intentionally through education.”
“A lot of times they return back into society, but they don’t have a leg to stand on. With these programs we’re giving them an opportunity that when they return they can get housing, they can get some stability,” Roanoke City Sheriff Antonio Hash said.
These programs include GED programs and CDL training.
Some people have already graduated, with one of the first graduates successfully completing the culinary program.
In addition to education, a major aspect of (R) I.G.N.I.T.E. is to change mindset and culture.
“Yes, they committed a crime, yes they’re broken they’re doing their time, but if we don’t change the way they think of themselves when they return back, then at that moment we haven’t done our jobs,” Sheriff Hash said. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/09/07/roanoke-city-sheriffs-office-to-launch-r-ignite/ | 2022-09-07T08:55:12Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/09/07/roanoke-city-sheriffs-office-to-launch-r-ignite/ | false |

The independent U.S. Senate candidate who won the official backing of Utah's Democratic Party in this year's midterm election harks back to Utah's pioneer days as he explains his quest to unseat two-term Republican Sen. Mike Lee.
“When our ancestors arrived, the only way to make this harsh but very beautiful place work in order for them to survive and thrive was to work together," said McMullin, who casts his candidacy as an opportunity to ”unite Americans across party lines to protect democracy.”
To defeat Lee, McMullin's idealized call for cross-party unity will have to do a lot more than just win over Democrats and a few disgruntled conservatives. Republicans have won every U.S. Senate race in Utah since 1976.
It’s been six years since McMullin, a soft-spoken former Republican congressional staffer, emerged as a third-party candidate as a conservative alternative to Donald Trump. McMullin won 21.5% of the vote in Utah in 2016, the most of any third-party candidate in the country. Trump still breezed to victory.
McMullin warned in a New York Times op-ed after Trump's election that he was an authoritarian who “undermined critical democratic norms including peaceful debate and transitions of power.” This year, McMullin is hitting that message even harder, denouncing his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents.
McMullin has cast both Trump and Lee as threats to democracy, noting text messages obtained by the Jan. 6 House committee that show Lee discussing legally dubious schemes to keep Trump in power, before shifting course, backing away and voting to certify the election results.
“Authoritarians serve themselves and the small cadres that surround them,” McMullin, an ex-CIA officer, said. “They never solve problems.”
As both parties jockey for control of the evenly split Senate, the peculiar Republican-versus-independent contest has transformed Utah from an electoral afterthought into a possible spoiler. Conservative groups like Club for Growth are spending millions to defend Lee.
If McMullin were to win in November, he would become the Senate's third independent, joining Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Both caucus with the Democrats, though McMullin has said he wouldn't caucus with either party.
Both Lee and McMullin are vying for voters like Cindy Kemp of Lehi, who credits Trump for the country’s thriving pre-pandemic economy but was often fed up with his public persona.
“With Trump and everything, we were like, ‘What do we do?’” Kemp said after speaking to McMullin in Provo. “But he did good for the country.”
She plans to vote for McMullin.
Eighty miles (129 kilometers) north at a junior livestock auction in Ogden, Lee wears ostrich skin cowboy boots and sits cross-legged on a folding chair. Mingling with voters amid the the sound of squealing hogs after purchasing a sheep at the auction, he acknowledges the race defies traditional two-party dynamics yet hews closely to conventional Republican talking points: government spending, inflation and polling showing widespread disapproval of President Joe Biden.
In response to questions about prominent midterm election issues, Lee repeatedly prefaces his answers by circling back to a reminder that McMullin has been “embraced and endorsed and funded by the Democratic Party."
Lee, a one-time critic of the former president who even voted for McMullin in protest of Trump in the 2016 election, dismisses McMullin’s alarm bells about extremism and says their race has less to do with Trump than Biden.
“Trump’s not on the ballot. This one is not about him,” Lee said as he walked through a cattle corral talking about the effects of inflation on feed and fuel prices.
“People in Utah feel strongly about the horrible state of affairs that Joe Biden has brought and the horrible conditions that we’re now facing with inflation and all that goes along with it.”
McMullin acknowledges issues like inflation and abortion rights are focal points in Senate races nationwide. Still, his campaign is laser-focused on what he believes are growing threats to democracy from power-hungry extremists willing to abandon it. It’s difficult to fix issues like air quality near the Great Salt Lake or buoy economically depressed coal towns in Carbon County, he said, without a functional, representative democracy.
“It’s democracy. And it’s what democracy allows us to do,” McMullin explains.
Although he says voters he speaks to largely agree having a functional government in Washington is important, McMullin is aware opinions clash within the coalition he hopes to unite behind him.
He insists voters are less polarized than people assume, yet despite that belief, offers carefully calibrated answers on polarizing topics such as abortion. He talks about “standing up to the extremes that want to criminalize women” and rejects abortion bans that don't have exceptions for rape, but says he “doesn't have all the answers” rather than articulating when he thinks abortion should be legal and when it shouldn't.
Much like Lee repeatedly references McMullin's Democratic Party support, McMullin repeatedly prefaces explanations about where he stands on issues by referencing “our coalition” — a group he says is the same one that supports Sen. Mitt Romney and includes Democrats, moderate Republicans and independents.
The “coalition,” he said, also supports investing in more modern infrastructure, but he doesn't clarify his position on the billions in infrastructure spending approved since Democrats took control of Washington.
Back at the Weber County Fair, Lee says recently approved spending will exacerbate inflation and expand the role of government in everyday life.
“It’s pretty relevant if the party that has endorsed you and is funding you and is backing you is behind a $750 billion spending boondoggle at a time we’re in a recession and at a time we’re experiencing rampant inflation,” Lee said of McMullin.
Although Lee's frequent “no” votes on bipartisan legislation garner criticism, they endear him to legions of Utah Republicans who call him “a fighter” and like that he isn't afraid to disrupt Washington.
“He fights for us and takes what we say and takes it to heart. Not like other politicians, who lie to us and do different things, like Mitt Romney,” Heidi Hadley of Plain City said after meeting Lee at the fair. | https://www.wsls.com/news/politics/2022/09/07/utahs-evan-mcmullin-upends-two-party-fight-for-us-senate/ | 2022-09-07T08:56:03Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/politics/2022/09/07/utahs-evan-mcmullin-upends-two-party-fight-for-us-senate/ | true |

During the reporting period, UP Fintech registered revenue of US$53.5 million. Non-GAAP net income was US$3.5 million, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of US$4.4 million in the same quarter of last year.
During the reporting period, the number of customer accounts increased by 38,800, totaling 1.9 million, and the number of customers with deposits increased to 731,400, up 38.2% from the same quarter last year. Over 70% of funded accounts were from markets outside of mainland China. Net asset inflow from customers exceeded US$1.5 billion during the second quarter. The company retained 99% of its customers on a quarterly basis.
"Despite market challenges in the first half of 2022, we have remained focused on our clients, bringing product and service innovations, and delivering an exceptional trading experience to everyone. With the introduction of our app's 8.0 version this quarter, users now can rearrange the in-app functions and prioritize the features that matter the most to them. Our swift product scale-up capabilities and self-developed technology architecture are the cornerstones of our global expansion strategy," said Wu Tianhua, CEO and founder of UP Fintech.
"Our competitive edge remains strong. During this quarter, our market share in Singapore continued to increase. User engagement and interactions on our Tiger Trade app were also active, boding well for our user loyalty in this region. In Australia, more investors chose us and the trading volume doubled compared to the previous quarter. Looking ahead, despite the challenging macro environment being a headwind, we will stay true to our long-term commitment to being the platform of choice for global investors of all demographics."
Over 99% of customers with assets retained in Singapore
Newly registered users in Australia up 81% QoQ
In Singapore, UP Fintech continued its momentum in gaining more market share, a sign of industry leadership consolidation with an expanding user base and stronger user loyalty.
During the reporting period, over 99% of the customers with assets were retained in the market. The average client net asset inflows of our newly acquired paying clients in the market exceeded the US$9,000 threshold in the period, surpassing the US$8,000 amount recorded in the previous quarter. User loyalty also stayed strong with a higher monthly active user (MAU) compared to other players.
The company moved to strengthen partnerships with exchanges such as Singapore Exchange (SGX), CME Group, Eurex, and Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), providing investors with an ever more diversified product offering.
During the period, the number of local futures trading lots on Tiger Trade in Singapore rose 110.5% year-over-year, and up 19.2% quarter-over-quarter. The local trading volume of options rose 99.8% year-over-year, and up 4.5% quarter-over-quarter. Entrusted by world-renowned institutions such as Société Générale and Nikko Asset Management, UP Fintech also helped them attract more retail clients and build up demand for their products through our proprietary digital platform.
UP Fintech's community gained bigger popularity in Singapore with the user base, engagement, and the number of posts growing. The amount of user-generated content reached nearly 150,000 pieces per week, making Tiger Community one of the largest and most engaged online investing communities.
Leveraging Tiger Community's local penetration, more companies have chosen our community as the preferred platform and an effective channel for local investor communications in Singapore. During NIO's secondary listing on SGX, UP Fintech partnered with the exchange and live streamed NIO's listing PO ceremony in the community, receiving over 1 million views.
In Australia, the company is still testing the waters and making an all-out effort to localize our products and services, by adding more features that will give local investors more control over their investment, while keeping the user experience simple, intuitive, and superior.
During the period, Tiger Trade app's rankings rose to No. 31 in Q2, the highest amongst online brokers in Australia. Newly registered users rose 81.1% quarter-over-quarter, and the trading volume also doubled, reflecting the company's momentum in growing its customer base and winning recognition against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop.
The company in Hong Kong acquired Type 4 (Advising on securities) and 5 licenses (Advising on futures contracts).
Version 8.0 app launched with a better-personalized UI enabled
Steady net deposits of US$1.5 billion
In the second quarter, the company's commission income stood at US$28.2 million, along with an interest-related income of US$16.0 million. Despite the macroeconomic difficulties, clients were still depositing, with a net deposit surpassing an amount of US$1.5 billion, indicating strong client loyalty and our ability to attract asset inflows.
As the company's global expansion goes deep, we remain focused on innovating and localizing our products and services by introducing features local users have demanded to best improve their investing experience.
In the second quarter, UP Fintech launched version 8.0 of the Tiger Trade app, enabling users to personalize the front page and switch between pro and lite modes with just one click.
During the period, the demand for wealth management services grew steadily. The number of customers in the Fund Mall increased by 119.1% year-over-year, and the asset under management (AUM) of the Fund Mall service was up by 56.9% year-over-year. The number of Cash Plus users increased by 58.5% year-over-year, and AUM was up by 33.3% year-over-year. Cash Plus gained growing attention from Singaporean investors with the number of users up by 14.9% quarter-over-quarter, and AUM up by 25.4% quarter-over-quarter. These results underscore the value of diversification we are able to offer to clients against heightened volatility.
On the investor education side, UP Fintech relentlessly promoted financial education in spite of the volatile environment. During the period, various educational materials such as "US stock financial statements for beginners" and "US stock market investing for beginners" were made accessible on Tiger Trade for every user, alleviating investors' stress in hunting for reliable information. As of June 30, UP Fintech held over 200 online seminars and forums, which were joined by industry experts and analysts from world-class institutions, and covered topics such as earnings analysis, trending companies, and hot industry to help investors make better informed financial decisions.

In the reporting period, the company participated in 14 Hong Kong and US IPOs, and served as an underwriter in 11 of these listings.
Third-party data shows that UP Fintech ranked first in the second quarter, and third in the first half among brokerages in terms of overall US IPO underwriting, by number of deals and amount of value. During the first half, the company underwrote 14 US IPOs.
In an effort to reinforce corporate clients' strategies and deepen the reach of their businesses, UP Fintech continued to scale up its network with potential institutional and high-worth buyers.
In addition, the company issued 20 research reports on well-known companies such as Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba, indicating its in-depth analysis expertise, particularly in ADRs and the tech sector.

Tracy & Associates Accounting Warns Small Business Payroll Danger is Still Under the Radar
Canberra, Australia, September 07, 2022 --(PR.com)-- The most dramatic change to small business ATO reporting obligations since the introduction of the GST is upon us, but far too many small businesses remain unaware of these impending payroll regulatory changes.
Axel Tracy, the principal of small business bookkeeping and BAS services firm Tracy & Associates Accounting, has claimed that the disruption caused by the pandemic and the skills shortage in its aftermath has blinded many small employers to the impacts of the introduction of "STP2," the ATO’s second phase of Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting obligations. Tracy said, “STP2 is a complex change to payroll reporting obligations, and the daunting thought is that it’s already here. STP2 officially launched on the 1st January earlier this year, but many small businesses are either unaware of this or unknowingly relying too heavily on the ATO’s deferral options. As seen by the recent spike in insolvencies, the ATO’s softly, softly approach will eventually end.”
Single Touch Payroll (STP) has been a system of real-time payroll reporting to the ATO for Australian employers since as early as 2018. With all deferrals and exemptions for STP Phase 1 having expired by now most businesses or their bookkeepers have become accustomed to filing their STP lodgements during their pay runs. However STP Phase 2 is not a linear expansion of what was required in the first phase. The level of payroll data granularity is compounding in this second phase, and the stakeholders who will rely on the reported data go far beyond the ATO alone.
Driving the push for the introduction of STP2 are other government departments and agencies who are seeking greater Australian payroll information for their own functions. For example, Services Australia is seen as a key recipient of new STP2 reporting data, along with the ABS and the Child Support Agency. As Axel Tracy noted, “With more users of STP2 data there is a greater need for these lodgements to be reliable and timely. This is no longer simply between the business and the ATO. There can be real-world consequences for small businesses, and most importantly their staff, if multiple government agencies and departments are being fed junk data. In a time of low unemployment and skills shortages, and of course the great resignation and quiet quitting, this is no time for small business employers to be causing external headaches for their employees because their payroll systems aren’t neat, tidy and up to date.”
While big business have the resources and teams to stay abreast and ahead of STP2 and other changes, it is small business who may be left lagging behind if this issue isn’t prioritised. Small business employers are being encouraged to keep up to date with notices from their accounting software providers, to use the ATO website to get in-depth details, or proactively engage with their bookkeeper or payroll service provider to understand what support they can offer with STP2 setup and implementation.

UK's FTSE 100 tumbled on Wednesday, dragged lower by commodity stocks after weaker trade data from China spurred fears about global demand, while strong U.S. data hinted the Federal Reserve would likely stay on its aggressive interest rate hike path.
The benchmark FTSE 100 fell 0.9%, while the mid-cap FTSE 250 declined 0.4% as at 07:08 GMT.
The pan-European STOXX 600 slid 0.8% as disappointing Chinese data triggered a global selloff, while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slid to its lowest since mid-2020 and was last down 1.2%.
Oil majors BP and Shell dropped 1.4% and 1.3%, respectively, as crude prices tumbled on COVID-19 curbs in top importer China and expectations of more interest rate hikes.
Mining stocks fell 1.8% as the U.S. dollar strengthened further amid worries about a recession in major economies.
Unilever Plc slipped 0.5% after Ben & Jerry's said it plans to amend its lawsuit by Sept. 27, challenging the sale of its ice cream business in Israel by its parent company.

Illumina will have to divest Grail after EU blocks takeover
By Foo Yun Chee
BRUSSELS, Sept 6 (Reuters) – U.S. life sciences firm Illumina (ILMN.O) will have to divest biotechnology company Grail (GRAL.O) after an EU veto of the $7.1 billion acquisition over concerns it would hurt competition and stifle innovation.
The European Commission, which acts as the competition enforcer in the 27-country bloc, said on Tuesday that Illumina’s remedies did not adequately address its concerns, confirming a Reuters story in July. read more
Illumina completed the deal in August last year ahead of EU regulatory approval, resulting in an EU order to keep Grail separate and appoint independent managers to run the company until the investigation’s conclusion. read more
“Our in depth investigation confirmed our initial concerns. It showed that Illumina holding a dominant position in NGS systems would have both the ability and the incentive to obstruct rivals,” EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager told a news conference, referring to next generation sequencing (NGS).
“Our investigation showed that the proposed remedies would not have been effective in practice, and they would be very easy to circumvent. The remedies offered, they were so complex that it would be hard for market participants and for the Commission to monitor and to enforce immunise compliance,” she said.
Vestager said she would issue a separate decision in due course ordering Illumina to dissolve the deal and restore Grail’s independence.
Illumina said it would challenge the EU veto outlined in a document of more than 600 pages.
“To prepare for the anticipated divestment order from the European Commission in the coming months, the company will begin reviewing strategic alternatives for Grail in the event the divestiture is not stayed pending Illumina’s appeal,” it said in a statement.
The EU watchdog said Illumina offered to give a license for its NGS patents to some NGS suppliers, with provisions in agreements valid until 2033. It also offered a three-year patent truce with Chinese rival BGI Genomics (300676.SZ).
Illumina is already in talks with the Commission to divest Grail, people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday.
Illumina scored a victory last week when a U.S. administrative judge backed its challenge against a lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against the deal. The FTC has said it will appeal. read more
Separately, Illumina faces an EU fine of as much as 10% of its annual global turnover for jumping the gun and has set aside $453 million for this. Vestager criticized the company, saying it has created a troublesome situation.
The deal would have given Illumina access to Grail’s flagship Galleri blood test used to diagnose cancers at early stages when the disease is easier to treat.

Karaoke bar inferno kills 12: Eleven others injured as fire tears through building in Vietnam, forcing some to leap off balconies to escape, breaking their legs
- Fire occurred last night in a crowded residential neighbourhood in Thuan
- Engulfed second and third floors of the building trapping customers and staff
- Many crowded onto a balcony to escape the flames while others jumped
- Comes a month after firefighters died trying to extinguish a fire at separate bar
An inferno at a karaoke bar in Vietnam killed 12 and left 11 others injured as the fire tore through the building, forcing some to leap off balconies to escape, breaking their legs.
The fire occurred last night, in a crowded residential neighbourhood in Thuan.
It engulfed the second and third floors of the building, trapping customers and staff members as smoke blocked the emergency exit and filled the staircase.
According to state media, many crowded onto a balcony to escape the flames, which quickly grew as they caught the wooden interior.
Others were forced to jump from the building, which led to them breaking their hands and legs.
Witness Nguyen Sang, who lives near the karaoke bar, told the VnExpress news site that when fire trucks arrived at the scene, a receptionist said there were 40 people stuck inside.
Huge plumes of smoke were seen billowing out of the bar as firefighters used cranes to try and extinguish the fire.
According to state media, rescue workers searched through the night for anyone trapped in the 30-room bar.

Sang said: 'Many people ran outside through the main entrance, but many others could not stand the heat and they jumped down, breaking their hands and legs.'
Nguyen Thanh Tam, a top official with the ruling communist party in Thuan An said: 'Rescue teams are still looking for victims at the scene. The cause of the fire has not been determined and is being investigated.'
Police said that prior to the fire, the karaoke bar's fire prevention regulations had been checked.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh today ordered a further inspection of high-risk venues, especially karaoke bars.
The latest blaze comes after three firefighters last month died while trying to extinguish a fire at another karaoke bar in Hanoi.
Last night's fire was the deadliest in Vietnam since 2018, when 13 people died in a blaze in an apartment complex in Ho Chi Minh City.
And in 2016, an inferno in a karaoke bar in Hanoi left 13 people dead, which prompted a country-wide assessment of fire prevention measures at bars and clubs. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11188045/12-dead-11-injured-Vietnam-karaoke-bar-fire.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-09-07T09:28:03Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11188045/12-dead-11-injured-Vietnam-karaoke-bar-fire.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |

PHILADELPHIA -- A frustrated Bryce Harper thought he was headed back to the bench. Moments later, he was hollering in the midst of a wild celebration.
Harper got a gift double in the ninth inning when Miami left fielder Brian Anderson slipped chasing a flyball, then hustled home as Jean Segura flipped his bat high after hitting a single that sent the Philadelphia Phillies over the Marlins 3-2on Tuesday night.
"It's huge anytime you can win a game," Harper said.
Edmundo Sosa homered and doubled, and Aaron Nola struck out 10 for the playoff-contending Phillies, who rebounded from a poor road trip in which they lost five of six to the sub-.500 Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants.
Harper had struck out in all three of his at-bats and rolled his eyes when he sliced a high fly down the line in medium left field with one out in the ninth. Anderson ran a long way in pursuit and appeared to get there in time to make the catch, but stumbled on the edge of the side warning track.
The ball fell just inside the line for a double. Harper admittedly didn't hustle out of the box, believing he would be out, and just beat Anderson's throw to second.
"I've got to be better there in that situation," he said. "Just glad I was able to get in there and score on that ball and win the game."
Miami lost its eighth in a row and has scored no more than two runs in nine straight games.
"It seems like teams that are losing a lot, that's the kind of thing that happens to you," Marlins Manager Don Mattingly said. "When you're winning, you get the other side of that."
Tommy Nance (0-3) intentionally walked J.T. Realmuto, and Segura lined a single to right. Harper just beat the throw by Avisaíl García to send the Phillies into a raucous celebration near the first-base bag.
Segura threw his bat way, way into the air after the hit.
"It made me angry," Segura said of the intentional walk in front of him. "The best part of this is the 'W.' We've been playing rough baseball lately."
Anderson drove in both runs for the Marlins.
Nola reached 200 strikeouts this season, allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings.
CARDINALS 4, NATIONALS 1 Nolan Gorman broke out of a slump with a home run and two RBI, and host St. Louis beat Washington. Jose Quintana (5-6) gave up a run on 5 hits and struck out 5 in 5 innings to earn his first win since Aug. 10. The Cardinals have won five of their past six games and 19 of their past 22 at Busch Stadium.
PIRATES 8, METS 2 Mitch Keller scattered five hits over six shutout innings and host Pittsburgh beat New York.
CUBS 9, REDS 3 Hayden Wesneski allowed two hits over five shutout innings of relief to win his major league debut, and host Chicago took advantage of 11 walks to beat Cincinnati for their second win in nine games. Wesneski (1-0), a 24-year-old right-hander acquired from the New York Yankees on Aug. 1 for reliever Scott Effross, struck out eight and walked one in front of about 20 family members and friends from Texas.
ROCKIES 10, BREWERS 7 (10) Randal Grichuk hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th as host Colorado topped Milwaukee.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
RAYS 8, RED SOX 4 Randy Arozarena hit a three-run homer in the first, Christian Bethancourt and Yu Chang went deep back-to-back during the sixth, and host Tampa Bay beat Boston. The Rays are an AL-best 22-10 since Aug. 4.
GUARDIANS 4, ROYALS 1 Shane Bieber pitched eight sharp innings, Jose Ramírez drove in two runs and visiting Cleveland beat Kansas City.
ORIOLES 9, BLUE JAYS 6 Adley Rutschman hit a bases-loaded double during a five-run third inning and Baltimore beat Toronto in a heated game in which both benches briefly emptied in the middle of the seventh. Then tempers flared when Bryan Baker appeared to make a "chirping" signal with his hand toward the Toronto dugout after striking out Matt Chapman for the third out. Benches and bullpens emptied, and although order was quickly restored, Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider was ejected during the bottom of the inning.
RANGERS 4, ASTROS 3 Corey Seager scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the seventh and Texas snapped a nine-game losing streak with a win over Houston. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/07/harpers-pop-up-becomes-double-lifts-phillies/ | 2022-09-07T09:41:53Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/sep/07/harpers-pop-up-becomes-double-lifts-phillies/ | false |
CHAMPIONSGATE, Fla., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) is raising awareness of a systematic review indicating a wide variety of common activity significantly accelerates the release of mercury from amalgam dental fillings. Over 120 million Americans have amalgam dental fillings, which are approximately 50% elemental mercury.
The results of the study, "How Do Different Physical Stressors' Affect the Mercury Release from Dental Amalgam Fillings and Microleakage? A Systematic Review" found that exposure to static magnetic fields (SMF) such as those generated by MRI, electromagnetic fields (EMF) such as those produced by wi-fi and mobile phones; ionizing electromagnetic radiations such as X-rays and non- Ionizing electromagnetic radiation such as lasers and light cure devices can all significantly increase the release of mercury from amalgam restorations and/or cause microleakage.
The study authors conclude that "specific groups such as children, fertile women, elderly and hypersensitive individuals may be at risk". These concerns mirror the Food and Drug Administrations 2020 amalgam warnings to avoid dental amalgam in these high-risk populations.
Previous studies have found that even one amalgam dental filling can exceed the minimum risk level for mercury. The mercury from dental amalgam fillings has been associated with a wide variety of adverse health effects, especially demyelination as outlined in the IAOMT's position paper on the risks of mercury amalgam dental fillings.
"Considering the mountain of scientific evidence showing harm by the mercury released from amalgam dental fillings, it's therefore important for patients with dental amalgam fillings to either avoid future mercury fillings or have them safely removed by an IAOMT dentist certified in the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART)." Explains David Edwards, DMD, President of the IAOMT, who goes on to say, "These findings have huge implications for both patient safety and public health."
The IAOMT is committed to ensuring that dental care practices remain safe by researching potential risks associated with dental treatments, as there are substantial risks from mercury fillings, fluoride, root canal treatments and jawbone osteonecrosis.
The IAOMT is a non-profit organization dedicated to biological dentistry and its mission of protecting public health and the environment since it was founded in 1984.

Greater Cleveland RTA adds transit ambassadors to help prevent violence disruptions
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Ebony Allen is one of the transit ambassadors who will be on RTA buses and trains.
“I’m excited to be able to give back to the community, the help and the care that they need,” said Allen.
Greater Cleveland RTA decided these ambassadors were necessary after several incidents on their buses.
These ambassadors are extra boots on the ground to prevent violence and disruptive behavior from ever becoming an issue.
“Men and women who really are going to serve you well and exhibit de-escalation tactics that they we’re trained on not only in this career, but a career before this one,” said India Birdsong, general manager of RTA.
There will be also be crisis intervention specialists working with transit police. They will be there to help deal with riders who may be experiencing mental health or substance abuse issues.
“We realize we have to be able to show our faces to our customers to help them when they need that‚” said Birdsong.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet next week at a summit in Uzbekistan, a Russian official said Wednesday.
The two leaders will meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, held in the Uzbek city of Samarkand on Sept. 15-16, Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov told reporters.
“Less than 10 days from now another meeting of our leaders will take place at the SCO summit in Samarkand. We are actively preparing for it,” Denisov was quoted by Russia’s state news agency Tass as saying.
The visit to Uzbekistan, if it goes ahead, will be Xi’s first foreign trip in 2½ years. Russian media also reported Xi’s plans to visit Kazakhstan prior to the summit in Uzbekistan, but the reports have remained unconfirmed.
When asked about the Uzbekistan trip, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a daily briefing Wednesday: “On your question, I have nothing to offer.”
Putin and Xi last met in Beijing in February, weeks before the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine. The two presidents oversaw the signing of an agreement pledging that relations between the sides would have “no limits.” It remains unclear whether Xi knew at the time of Russia’s plan to launch what Moscow is calling “a special military operation” in Ukraine.
While offering its tacit support for Russia’s campaign in Ukraine, China has sought to appear neutral and avoid possible repercussions from supporting the Russian economy amid international sanctions.
Moscow and Beijing have increasingly aligned their foreign policies to oppose liberal democratic forces in Asia, Europe and beyond, making a stand for authoritarian rule with tight borders and little regard for free speech, minority rights or opposition politics.
The Russian military held sweeping military drills that began last week and ended Wednesday in the country’s east that involved forces from China, another show of increasingly close ties between Moscow and Beijing amid tensions with the West over the military action in Ukraine.
Even though Moscow and Beijing in the past rejected the possibility of forging a military alliance, Putin has said that such a prospect can’t be ruled out. He also has noted that Russia has been sharing highly sensitive military technologies with China that helped significantly bolster its defense capability. | https://www.wric.com/business/us-world-business/ap-putin-xi-to-meet-at-in-uzbekistan-next-week-official-says/ | 2022-09-07T10:01:19Z | https://www.wric.com/business/us-world-business/ap-putin-xi-to-meet-at-in-uzbekistan-next-week-official-says/ | true |
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — With Brazil’s presidential election just a month off, President Jair Bolsonaro is feeding concern about the nation’s electronic voting system. He has long insisted that the machines, used for a quarter-century, are prone to fraud, though he acknowledged last year that hasn’t been proved. Brazil’s top electoral authority says the system has been tested rigorously and some critics of Bolsonaro say he may be laying the groundwork for an attempt to cling to power if the vote doesn’t go his way – much like former U.S. President Donald Trump, whom Bolsonaro admires.
Here’s a look at Brazil’s electronic vote system.
___
WHY DOES BRAZIL USE AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM?
Brazilian authorities adopted electronic voting machines to tackle longstanding fraud. In earlier elections, ballot boxes arrived at voting stations already stuffed with votes. Others were stolen and individual votes were routinely falsified, according to Brazil’s electoral authority.
Electronic machines were first used in 1996 and the first nationwide, electronic-only vote took place four years later. Today, results from more than 150 million eligible voters are presented mere hours after polls close. And no significant fraud has ever been detected.
___
HOW COMMON IS ELECTRONIC VOTING ELSEWHERE?
More than two dozen countries use some form of an electronic system for national elections, according to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. But 80 percent don’t, and voters in most advanced democracies cast their ballots on paper.
Unlike Brazil, most ballots cast in the United States are hand-marked and tabulated by scanners. Since 2016, U.S. voting jurisdictions have almost completely phased out fully electronic balloting. Louisiana is now the only U.S. state where voting machines don’t produce some type of paper record statewide.
Most voters in the U.S. also cast a hand-marked paper ballot, which is then run through an electronic tabulator to produce results far more quickly than a hand count would do.
In the U.S., a 2018 report by the National Academy of Sciences urged that a voter-verified paper record exist for every ballot cast, with the originals secured in case results are challenged.
Mark Lindeman, director of Verified Voting, a nonpartisan group that tracks use of voting equipment in the U.S., said a lack of physical records makes it harder to fight accusations of fraud.
“The 2020 (U.S.) election showed the value of paper ballots to check election results,” he said. “But it also showed that political leaders can attack any election result they don’t like — even before the election — and that those attacks can do harm even when the claims defy physical reality. That’s probably a larger threat to free and fair elections than any current election technology.”
Brazil’s system doesn’t produce a paper record of individual votes, though Bolsonaro has advocated for that.
___
HOW IS BRAZIL’S VOTING SYSTEM AUDITED?
The electoral authority says voting machines are checked for reliability before, during and after balloting. Votes recorded by each machine can be cross-checked with the overall tallies after the vote.
Election officials acknowledge that hacking is always a risk, but say no one has ever managed to alter the machines’ source code or election results. They say risks are further minimized because the machines aren’t connected to the internet and information is sent only through internal systems, segments of which shut down if alterations are detected.
For this year’s elections, over a dozen institutions — including police, the military, prosecutors and universities — accepted the electoral court’s invitation to audit the machines. During a three-day hackathon in May, some 20 hired experts sought to penetrate the system. None succeeded.
___
WHEN DID FRAUD ALLEGATIONS BEGIN?
In 1993, then-lawmaker Bolsonaro complained to members of the military that the paper voting system was rigged, and spoke in favor of digitalization. Once electronic voting was implemented, however, he became one of its fiercest critics. In 2015, he proposed a constitutional amendment to introduce printed records of votes that would allow manual recounts. That passed Congress, but arguments it was too costly and could violate the right to a secret ballot led the Supreme Court to block it.
___
WHAT EVIDENCE DOES BOLSONARO CITE?
Bolsonaro won the presidency in a 2018 runoff, and later vociferously claimed fraud had denied him an outright victory in the first round.
For months, he promised proof was coming, and his administration tasked the Federal Police with scouring the prior 25 years for evidence. Finally, last year he acknowledged, “There is no way to prove the elections were or weren’t fraudulent. There are indications.” Following that admission, lawmakers rejected a new Bolsonaro-backed bill once again seeking to adopt printed records.
Still, Bolsonaro has continued to attack the machines’ reliability. In July, he called dozens of diplomats to the presidential residence to present his claims. He focused heavily on the existence of a police investigation into a 2018 incident in which a hacker broke into the electoral authority’s internal system. The authority, which asked for the police investigation, said the hacker never accessed any voting machines nor their source code and so couldn’t alter the data or compromise results.
The U.S. State Department issued a statement a day after Bolsonaro’ s meeting with diplomats, saying Brazil’s electoral system and democratic institutions are a “model for the world.”
Allegations that the system is unreliable have spread across social media and messaging apps — often in groups backing the president. That is similar to the attacks questioning the security of voting equipment in the U.S. since Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. Republicans in some places have sought to ditch all voting and tabulating machines in favor of paper ballots and hand-counting.
___
WHAT IS THE MILITARY’S ROLE?
Bolsonaro, a former army captain who has filled his government with military figures, has sought to expand armed forces’ role in elections. As a gesture, the electoral authority invited the armed forces to sit on its transparency commission and propose modifications to the system. On that commission, Defense Minister Paulo Sérgio Nogueira has made a series of statements echoing Bolsonaro’s claims. That has provoked concern at home and abroad about the armed forces — which imposed a 1964-1985 dictatorship — overstepping constitutional bounds and potentially becoming tools in an antidemocratic campaign.
Earlier this year, accompanied by top adviser Gen. Augusto Heleno, Bolsonaro said the armed forces “will not perform the role of just rubber stamping the electoral process, or taking part as spectators.” He suggested the military could conduct a parallel count of the results. The Defense Ministry also sent dozens of questions and suggestions to the electoral authority for potential improvements.
Negotiations with the electoral authority’s president, Alexandre de Moraes, seemed to bear fruit last week. The Defense Ministry acknowledged the success of tests carried out on the electronic machines. And de Moraes accepted the ministry’s proposal to run public pre-election tests using biometrics, with voters identified by fingerprints and photos. It isn’t clear whether such a system could be implemented for the election’s first round on Oct. 2.
Any last-minute changes, even if adopted with the best intentions, could cause instability or create vulnerabilities, according to Lindeman, of Verified Voting. ___ Bridi reported from Brasilia.

Prime Minister Liz Truss held her first Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street in London on Wednesday after announcing one of the U. K.’s most diverse Cabinets, with key frontline posts going to ethnic minority members of Parliament, including Indian-origin Suella Braverman as the Home Secretary.
Another Indian-origin minister in the Cabinet, Agra-born Alok Sharma, retains his climate action job as the COP26 President, as does Defence Secretary Ben Wallace in a new top team that is otherwise a complete shake-up of the old guard.

London-born junior minister Ranil Jayawardena, of mixed Sri Lankan and Indian heritage, has been promoted as the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Many senior Tories, who had backed Ms. Truss' rival, British Indian former finance minister Rishi Sunak, find themselves without a job – including former justice secretary Dominic Raab, transport secretary Grant Shapps and health secretary Steve Barclay.
The process of appointing the Cabinet and junior ministerial roles began on Tuesday and will continue into Wednesday, when Ms. Truss addresses her first Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) in the House of Commons.
By her side on the frontbenches will be Braverman, whose Tamil mother had her family roots in Mauritius and Goan-origin father migrated to the U. K. from Kenya.
Also, by her side will be Ghanian-origin Kwasi Kwarteng as the U. K.’s first black Chancellor and mixed Sierra Leone and white heritage James Cleverly as the Foreign Secretary, Ms. Truss’ own former portfolio.
Ms. Truss has packed the top tier of her Cabinet with close allies, such as Therese Coffey as the Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and Wendy Morton as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury and the first Tory female Chief Whip in charge of party discipline.
Former Tory leadership contender Kemi Badenoch is the new International Trade Secretary, with incumbent Anne-Marie Trevelyan shifted as Transport Secretary. Another former contestant Tom Tugendhat has been handed the role of the Minister for Security.
Iraqi-origin Nadhim Zahawi has been appointed the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister of Equalities, Brandon Lewis is the new Justice Secretary, and Penny Mordaunt is the Leader of the Commons.
Former junior ministers Jacob Rees-Mogg and Simon Clarke have been promoted as the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and Levelling Up and Housing respectively, and former policing minister Kit Malthouse is the new Education Secretary.
“We have huge reserves of talent, of energy, and determination,” Ms. Truss said in her inaugural address outside 10 Downing Street on Tuesday.
“I am confident that together we can: ride out the storm, we can rebuild our economy, and we can become the modern brilliant Britain that I know we can be. This is our vital mission to ensure opportunity and prosperity for all people and future generations. I am determined to deliver,” she said.
Her speech followed an audience with Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where the 96-year-old monarch formally asked her to form a new government.
Truss has pledged to "transform Britain into an aspiration nation with high paying jobs, safe streets and where everyone everywhere has the opportunities they deserve”. She has acknowledged the tough challenges she faces with spiralling energy bills creating a cost-of-living crisis but insisted that she has a plan to “ride out the storm”.
